Well. I haven't updated in a while, and that's fine and all.
I've been trying to find a new job for a bit now. Hopefully I'll get a phone call soon.
Thursday was John's 19th birthday.
Wednesday afterschool I took him to Steve's Tattoo to get his tongue pierced. Then later that day we went to the go club, and Luke was there, and that was fun. John's tongur ring reallllyyyyyy stressed me out beacuse for some reason it just randomly efll out twice. But now he's been getting me to tighten it just in case, and it hasn't fallen out again.
Thursday was his birthday, and he came to visit me at lunch, which was very sweet. In the evening Madison, John becca and I went to that asian buffet we always go to. John was able to eat and we all had fun. Then we decided to go Animart to pet the bunnies. Now, here's where the story gets interesting.
John and I were hunched over with our fingers in this one cat's cage. And we were petting him and talking about how the very first thing we should do is get a cat together. And the cat we were petting was so sweet and soft. John said he wanted a siamese. I said they're kinda noisey but that's fine. And then, all of a sudden we had the cat out of his cage and we were gonna buy him.
He's a domestic short hair. He's a big old guy with part of an ear missing. He was rescued from a house of 60 cats, he's front declawed and he is sooo sweet. He loves doing that rubby-cheeks thing that cats do. And because of his age and everything he was only $25. So, well, he should be at John's house today around noon, settling in to his new home.
We're still thinking about names. So far we have these:
- Henry (I think he looks like a Henry)
- Guy (when he were playing with him we kept calling him that)
- John watns to name him a japanese word and I think we could find one that works, but we haven't done so yet.
- Virtute (Latin for valor. The Weakerthans have a song called Plea From A Cat Named Virtute, because the lead singer's cat is named that. They also have one called Virtute The Cat Explains Her Departure. Both good songs by a great band.) Pronounced verr-two-tay
Anyway. It's really exciting. I feel like a little family, if you don't mind my saying so.
Prom is next weekend. And I really doubt that Becca has done much to her dress and I really doubt that it's gonna be amazing. Just because, like, she doesn't seem excited now that the finishline is so near. And I'm definitely not going to Prom unless her dress is amazing. I should have gotten John to be my partner but I didn't know he would be this interested. He said that if Becca's is subpar he wants to make a suit (entries aren't due until June 14th) and enter with me. But I don't think I could be that mean to Becca. We'll see what happens.
Speaking of Prom, Luke is hosting a dinner party beforehand and I'm supposed to work that night so when I go in tonight :[[[[ I'll try to get someone to fill in for me.
I've been reallyyyyyy tired lately. And I thought I would actch up sleep this morning but a big construction truck showed up at like 5:30, which woke me up. And then my dad got up and was all moving around and being distracting. And then the construction guys worked for like 30 minutes at 7:15 which is bullshit because now they're gone. They could have worked that 30 minutes at like 10. Fuck them. I might vandalize their trucks. Write in sharpie DO NOT WORK ON SATURDAY MORNING YOU ASSHOLE on the windows.
