update on my life~

I've been mentally nagging myself for the past week to write a new entry for my blog (since I haven't updated since last month), so here's all the stuffs that I've recently been up to:

- I've been volunteering at the local library for the past two weeks (my last week will be the 12-16th). Probably the easiest way to earn Christian Service hours...all I do is sit there, basically. I'm helping out with this annual Summer Reading Program for all the little kids, and they have these BINGO sheets that they fill out according to the types of books and activities that they have to do on the opposite side of the sheet, and I stamp the BINGO spots depending on what they accomplish and give out prizes. Nothing too hard about that. Except Tuesdays...that's craft day...

- During my volunteering time at the library, I managed to get through my first summer reading book, The Road. Boy, what a CRAP book...it was depressing as hell at some parts...honestly I don't have a clue as to why this pathetic excuse for a book was on the summer reading list. It had no point to it, from what I can tell-- if a book like The Road can be published and be made into a movie, I could become a millionaire with the stuff I've written. >_> There's probably some hidden message in the book that I'm not picking up on, but whatever. It's read and over with. Now I can read the other two books that are actually worth my time reading.

- Cleaning houses with mom REALLY pays off. I cleaned at both my grandma's houses, and I made a good sum of money. I spent some of it at Hot Topic this past Wednesday. It's nice having $72 in your wallet. :)

- I probably had the most boring Fourth of July in my entire life. At least I got to make smores with the folks. :) We sat out by the fire pit and talked for a little while, and listened to the fireworks that were going off. We couldn't see 'em, though, so that was a bit of a bummer. :/

- I've been shopping with mom A LOT in the past week. We spent this morning driving a half hour up to this nice hostess outlet place to get bread...mom adores the place now because of their awesome deals. XD

- My cousin's graduation party was this past afternoon (it was a combined party with her friend), so myself and the family went down to Ohio and celebrated. The bad part was that it was at my ex-aunt's house, and I haven't seen her in a good ten years (bad divorce), so it was really weird seeing her. But everyone seemed to get along alright, so it wasn't a big deal. :) There was cake and a built-in pool, so I was happy. LOL.

- Kuroshitsuji season 2 just recently came out (it's called Monoshitsuji now =P ). I watched the RAW Japanese version yesterday (cuz I'm too impatient to wait for the translated English version, which I watched today. :D ). All I have to say about it is, thank GOD Sebastian and Ciel are still in the series. When I heard all this talk on the Internet about there being a whole new butler and master (pretty much blowing off Ciel and Sebby all-together), I was PISSED. There ARE a new master and butler, though (Alois and Claude)...Alios scares me. He's quite the sadistic one. ._. Pretty creepy from what I've seen of him...and Claude's like Sebastian-- amazingly perfect at everything. Is he a demon butler as well...?

- Blind Guardian: And Then There Was Silence. THE BEST SONG ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH. YOUTUBE IT, WATCH IT, AND DON'T FORGET TO EMBRACE ITS AWESOMENESS AND EPICNESS.

That's all I got at the moment to write about, pretty much. I miss my friends...
