it never stops thinking
alright so this time's for real.
i could not get to sleep last night. me and my mom discussed Macbeth for a few hours last night we wrote down some important stuff for my essay that i had to write today. then she told me "get to sleep so you're well rested for tomorrow." i gave her the thumbs up and said "ok mother !" well not really, but i thought that was a nice touch to my story. anyways, i go to sleep and after listening to some Bloc Party, i decide, alright i'll go to sleep now. i lay there.
and i lay there. by looking at me you'd think i was resting peacefully. BUT NO
i was thinking about things at the speed of lightening.
it's when you lay in bed trying to sleep and all you can think of is what you're not supposed to think of in bed.
i thought about this summer, and where i'm going to get a job. literally, this is what went through my head:
ok so i want to work at Second Cup, but that other girl works there and during the summer who wants to make coffee all day? wouldn't it get hot? but they wear those cool aprons and the whole idea of working in a coffee shop is cool. but i wanna do something i really like. i love movies, i could work at Blockbuster, not much communication with other people, but what if people ask me a question about a movie and i don't know ! it's not a really intimidating job too. it's in Namao too by Breanne's work so that works out cool. i like music too, i could work at Music World at Northgate or CD Plus at Londonderry. i wonder if they wear uniforms? i'll check it out tomorrow when i go to Northgate. or i'll ask that Jim guy at my school he works at CD Plus. but will i have to know every single band out there? I can't possibly do that. but i'll be surrounded by music all day. maybe i could even pick the songs that are played in the store. what else do i like... Art? i could work at Michaels! thats by Alyssa's work. that would be cool, it's not a very intimidating job but maybe it would get boring. hmm what other stores are there.. northgate.. hmm.. londonderry.. but Breanne wants me to work at Namao. what buses would i need to take to get to all these places.. and if i worked at Namao i could chill at Breanne's before work sometimes. what times would i work ? probably Wednesdays and Saturdays.. Saturdays from 10 - 4.. how many hours is that? *counts on fingers in bed* .. 6 hours, thats pretty good. do they wear uniforms at Blockbuster? and if they have to wear black pants at Second Cup i could wear my skinny ones that look nice. the military men go to that Second Cup a lot. i could say i serve coffee to our troops. how cool is that. i have to get mom to help me with my resume. can you give your resume to more than one place?? and what about interviews?! no boss is going to wanna shake my hand with these ugly chewed nails. he'll think i'm diseased or something. ok starting tomorrow NO CHEWING YOUR NAILS. ooh now i have butterflies because i'm nervous and excited about this summer. and what about summer school hmm...
NO WORD OF A LIE MY FRIENDS, THAT IS WHAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WHILE TRYING TO GET TO SLEEP. i wrote down the places i want to work into my cell phone, and realized it was one in the morning and i had an essay to write the next day on Macbeth.
there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with my brain. and i'm totally serious about this. Breanne even said so after i told her what you just read.
damn.
