And thus, I begin a new section in my notebook. It has now been thirty days after my return home from ETBU. Â Let’s take a look at all the things that have changed in 30 days:
- plans to return in the spring for visits thwarted by no car.
- plans for college perpetually pushed back
- decide Amy does not wish to speak to me; what a bummer
- decide that I am not going to date just any girl simply because it was a “girl-hater” month
- dedide Amanda, a girl at work, does not like me, even though we had decided we would date when she turned 18 in March.
- my parents took my car and gave me theirs.
Ok, this list is not working. Forget it…
I wrote Natalie back, but the letter is still on my desk. I just haven’t put it in an envelope yet.
Oooo…I saw Megan today…when I went to get the tags for my parents’ car. She is apparently a nurse or something now. (Megan is a girl I went to high school with. I had/have a crush on her, and I almost struck up a relationship with her, but I graduated. Dang graduation.) But we didn’t talk any. I just said “Hi” hoping she would remember me, or at least pay me a little more attention, since I was all dressed up. No such luck. She was in the middle of a car deal though, so it is understandable.
That makes me think…I don’t have to be shy to everyone I see. I said “hi” to her and she answered back, whether she recognized me or not. That would work for any girl. I have long realized that some people are too nice to say no. But that is also why I hate to feel like I have pushed someone into doing something. However, even a simple “hi” would potentially brighten someone’s day if said to them. Perhaps I will try and be nice to random people when I am not at work, because there it is my job to be nice to them…when I could really care less if they “have a nice day” ;).
Well, my parents want me to design a brochure for my lawn mowing service…but my mom (who is computer-aided-drawlingly incompetent) is supposed to make it for me based on my picture I give to her. Now…I have a style of my own when it comes to design, and it’s usually ahead of its time, but not too far. However, my mom doesn’t get the design, and thinks it would be too confusing for people. Here is a sample of the brochure…
She says it looks like golf…I say it is contemporary abstract. She wants me to use a ClipArt. I have NEVER used ClipArt for anything I designed. I either take icons and modify them, or create original digital art of my own. Anyway, this should be interesting…and a disservice to my reputation-unborne for style and art. But whatever shuts them up.
I have considered a design for illumen webware’s website, and found it would be much easier to create on the computer than on paper. There are a lot of circles involved in the banner. However, I will point out now that before the oval or ellipse became widely used, I told my brother and others that it was going to be the next big shape. But I think that it is going out, and that triangles will be popular soon. therefore, I may change the circular parts of my banner to triangles, and see how that works out. The color: well, blue is good for circles, but triangles are yellow to me. Squares are red, ovals and ellipses are gray, and rectangles are more of an orangish-red. The dot: black, and various shapes otherwise have their respective colors.
Anyway…I can’t think of anything else to write about at the moment, so I guess I am done. Laterz.
