ug, man.

working on the 4th is not fun. not only do I feel so lonely without the people I love to be around, but it is work.

I didn't have a terrible day, there were a couple nice moments. but still.

I got to see 8 firework shows
some closer than others, I could feel the lakewood fireworks go off. it was really sad, I tried to imagine everyone sitting on a blanket having a great time. so I sat in a crouched position watching the fireworks, and feeling the lakewood ones, so I would see the fireworks go off, and then quite a few moments later it would make the sound of the explosion, so it looked like I was watching an old "talkie" movie that was badly "N Sync".

well at work a couple of nice things happened, towards the end of the day after the fireworks, a little girl with her little brother (girl-5th gradeish, boy-3rd gradish) starting talking to me, so I was just being goofy, and in her little girl voice, she says "you're funny, te he (te he was actual laughter), then I asked about the fireworks and they like them then she says "hehe you're cute". that and I replied, and then as they were leaving she repeated the entire story to her mom. that was such a nice thing of her to do. it made me feel great. the other one was more annoying now that I think about it, but still funny. a party of ehh...10 (8 but then 2 more showed up) came into swingos and celebrated some girls 16th birthday. well since there was a pack of girls, (5 of them) they had a higher combined total of courage. so they kept calling me over for things, like asking my name, age..all that odd stuff. they kept doing things to make me go over there, and then they would all giggle...giggling is so embarrasing, because I never know what they are talking about, until I pretend to do something and listen. these girls were just goofy.

however, I still missed my friends.

so I will end this entry with my best wishes to you all and I hope you had a wonderful forth of July. and, oh yeah, "go USA!"
