Oh, that's neat.

So! I'm only a little ways away from my goal.
I need 165k and then I get the crowns... and I'm going to win. ;)

I thought you said that she already won? lol But thats really neat! 8D;;

I found a way to beat her. ;)

lol Well, thats definently a plus.

Totally! :D I really want to get the crowns for her!

I think its neat that you guys are doing this for each other

Go team Clair!

Hahah. I think we'd both go crazy if we didn't.
I won't stop, and she won't stop. xD

I thought you said that she had already gotten the crowns?

I thought I read that some time ago, too.

Mhmm. I recall her having said that in here, I believe.

I'd go back to find a post, but I don't think I'm that invested in knowing immediately, hahaha.

Yeah, i'm too lazy to check either. Haha

So how have you been? Enjoying the summer?

Been extremely bored. lol I've got nothing to do. I really need to find a job. :x

How about you?

Sounds about the same. I've been taking it easy and hanging out with friends or doing some lawn work for extra cash.
Everyone else is working; they tell me they hate it.

I've been taking care of our lawn. lol My mom will randomly give me some cash here and there to make up for all the work I do around the house and what not, but I still need to get a job.
Eh. Jobs can suck, but its better than sitting around doing nothing. And you get a pay check, which is the best part. lol

This is true! And experience on a resume.
I've just been lazy and haven't earnestly been searching for one. But now that people are calling me to do their lawns again, I think I found the motivation.

The money is great, don't get me wrong. I averaged out quite a bit on an hourly rate, but it's a lot of manual labor.

I've been lazy, too. I hate doing the searching, despite how much I want a job.
Yeah, I use to mow the lawn of the old woman that use to live down the street and she'd pay me for it. I hated mowing. Ugh. I still dont care for it, but I like our yard to look nice, so I just mow it each week. lol

Yeah, I miss a paycheck. It use to be so handy. lol

Our yard is a hot mess; we all do obscene things to each other to make the other mow.
We'll mow, but that's really the extent of our lawn care, hahaha.
We have some neighbors who were really into the whole gardening and keeping grass thick and green. But since they moved out, it has been young men with a six pack permanently attached to their hand.

A paycheck would be pretty handy.

Haha. Its just me and my mom at the house usually, since my dads usually always at work. My dad is always stressed enough when he comes home, so in my doing the yardwork and taking care of a few things, it gives him a few less things to much of worry about.

Hmm. Well, if it was young men with a six pack that were doing yardwork, then that would be okay. Haha. xP;; But thats a bummer. However, all of my neighbors are very intense when it comes to yardwork. They're mainly all old and retired, so they have plenty of time to dwell on their yards. Haha.

bwahahaha
One of the little old men told me he'd do it himself, but he said he was getting too old. "One minute you can push your own lawnmower, and the next minute you pull your back trying to lift a spade," lol.

I think my favourite yard was when I sat in the raspberry mess and sorted out all the dead stalks from the new ones and then re-strung them. I was proud to see them grow and develop berries.

Poor little old guy. Thats pretty sad. :<

Aaw. Thats really cool. :]
That sounds like something fun to do.

It was just nice to sit there and work for a while without being interrupted. Sometimes I'd listen to comedy clips or podcasts while I worked. I found this great one called "The Moth". People go up on stage without notes and just tell stories based on the theme of the night. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're supposed to be inspirational, and sometimes they're just stories.

The first time I heard it was when the college radio state was airing some stories before classes. I caught the tail-end of some comedian and laughed so hard that I had to find out more about the organization. Needless to say, it's fun to hear.

Thats pretty interesting. And that sounds like a nice thing to listen to. :] I usually listen to music or talk to my animals. lol Or just enjoy the noises of nature.
