I'm a certified bartender! I also have a certificate in alcohol awareness and laws, which basically means I know how to deal with an intoxicated customer who needs to be cut off and leave. Now, the only hard thing now is finding a job. Sure, they give me job leads, but like once a week. Starting tomorrow, I've got to stop playing games. I have a few places in mind of where I wanna work, so I need to think of a way to blow 'em all away and have them hire me.
I also realized that I rarely update anymore. Sure, I have like a few sentences here and there, but not a REAL update. So, here goes my chance for a real comeback. I miss Ireland. I've hung out with a few people who were there with me. For some weird reason, it doesn't feel the same. The only one I knew before I went on the trip was Julia, and the last week I was there, she was being really weird around me. Wtf. Whatever, I needed the vacation regardless. The summer here is already bugging the fuck out of me. I hate to imagine myself here for all of summer. I'd probably go crazy like Kellie. Heh. Just kidding, but seriously.
Though I miss Ireland horribly, I really enjoyed seeing my friends again. Man, have we partied it up since I've been home. Kyle and Ben are kick ass. No one can beat 'em. And of course, there's Mike and Nathan. They're hardcore awesome. Where is T.J.? Who knows? There's nothing better than having a couple of beers with good friends. Speaking of which, the other night I made a drink called a Colorado Bulldog, coming from the bartender side of me, which is the same as a White Russian, only with a splash of Coke on top. No joke, it tastes precisely like a Float. It's so much better than a White Russian, and if you know me well enough, you know White Russians were my main drink, and nothing could beat it. I think I found a better drink, and I'm sure as hell about my choice.
So Tuesday is like a high school reunion thing. It's a shindig with all my old classmates and such. I don't know if I wanna go. Sure, there's a few people I'd like to see (like Natayla, Jenna, Alex, Kelly (if she comes), (I even miss Indigo and Katy), and Maddie) but there's some people who haven't changed since we've graduated. Sometimes, there's nothing wrong with that. What I mean is they still have a lot of growing up and maturing to do. I don't feel like mentioning names. All I know is I don't want to get tangled up in their shenanigans again. I had all four years of high school to do that. I'm not living in the old days anymore. It's karma basically: keep away from those who give you a negative vibe. Will do. The only people I still converse with from high school are my good friends I hang out with all the time now, like Kyle, Ben, Mike, Nathan, and T.J. I don't hang out with Kelly and Jenna as much as I did, but I love them like sisters and hopefully we'll hang out one day. Moral of the story is, I don't know if I'm going to go on Tuesday. Maybe I'll stop by for like an hour. I'll see if Kyle will go with me. If there is a drama-trap waiting behind those doors, I don't wanna go in alone.
Oh, I never imagined giving compliments were such a bad things these days. I guess times really have changed since I was a kid. But then again, "we were just kids and heroes back then, in the middle of our teen angst."
