A Curious Girl: A time to work, and a time to play

Mwahah! New entry. Did you enjoy the photos last entry? :)

It was Rory's birthday on Monday. (Maybe see this entry)I couldn't find his address to send him a card so I called him up, and ended up meeting him before work. On the bus I realised that I'd managed to forget his card (already sealed, named and stamped), and I was going to buy another from the shops but I decided not to. I had the funny feeling that for Rory, me bringing the card along would have been a tiny added bonus to the fact that I was actually there.

*smile* There's something very nice about being around someone to whom your presence is a present enough. Sort of restful. Don't mistake that for romantic feeling ;) I think I probably see him in the way I'd see a younger brother. He was all in black as usual, with black hair and black nail-varnish, but he'd been to the cinema with his mum and little sister, and his little sister insisted on hanging onto his arm - she's about five, blonde and was wearing pink. I don't think she did anything for his image :) Sweet though.

Ah yes, and I noted that Rory's Mum (who looks like him in that she has curly brown hair, his natural colour, and freckles) used my name with familiarity. I just found that interesting, that she knew instantly who I was and that I worked nearby.

Aaargh, I hate my job once again. I'm really sick of the food too, but it's the easiest thing to eat at the end of a long shift. Plus I'm beginning to think that the only opportunity I can have to tell Asil that I just want to be friends is if I go on another date with him!! grr (Don't worry, I won't - that's just not fair. It's just irritating, that's all.)

Hmm, long hours with short/no breaks, rubbish pay, kids that leave mess everywhere and taking the blame for other people's mistakes and none of the credit for my own hard work. He says I can't be a teacher? ;)

I have to work again tonight. And two shifts tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to Friday. Anyone want to meet up on Friday? :) Mmm... day off...

My results day (for A-levels) is next week - Thursday to be exact. I just want to know now, I'm tired of waiting. Whatever my grades are, I have a plan... although I hope I get the grades I need for my top offer *grin* if nothing else because it means that I'll be in a good place from which to visit some of my online friends.

*yawn* I must start getting up earlier. Yes I know that makes no sense. It means that I might actually get to sleep earlier. Still... I had a nice chat with Ian whilst I had insomnia *hugs Ian*.

Oooh... And Soul Survivor in less than a fortnight! I have to go shopping! I'm excited! I have to buy tentpegs and several pairs of shorts. And lots of food. And remember to bring a stash of cash... and some stamps. In case you don't know, Soul Survivor is an excellent Christian Youth Event that has some awesome bands and an even more awesome ministry (and heck do I need some awesome ministry at the moment... I really miss being with Christian friends. I miss the CU. I hope that I get cool Christian friends at university).

Hmm, yeah it suddenly occurred to me what I find annoying about Church. It's so easy to go along on Sundays, listen to the preaching and worship God, and then leave and not have moved on any. Part of the point of Church is to be with other people - otherwise you might as well just read your Bible alone. But I've hardly spent time with any other Christians in person, prayed and encouraged each other and all that stuff, in ages. Christina came over last week and we were talking about God and stuff and it was incredibly refreshing. I chat with James and Duck online occasionally - in fact, I'm loving hearing about Duck's youthwork, I think he'll be awesome. But I can't wait to spend a good amount of time with some other Christians.

I got a postcard from Christina yesterday. As usual for her, it was expressive and rather poetic :) It's funny how people try to cram a glimpse of their holiday into less than 100 words, but I think Christina's postcard did rather well.

Anyhoo, I'd better being going now. I have to work tonight, which means I'm missing Faith and Light. I tried to get someone to swap with me, but I couldn't... Oh well.
