Nothing major has happened in the past two or so weeks. There have been some pretty funny/cool moments....so let's catch up.
Work is going great. I am averaging about 20 hours per week....finally! A week doesn't go by in which I take up a new shift from somebody, so the hours continue to grow. The store is getting ready for the Christmas season already, which means even more hours. Score. Funny/awkward story from the other day....
I walked into the break room and was waiting for the time clock to turn so I could clock in. Two people were in the back, an older lady and mid-aged guy. The guy asked me if I worked with computers. I told him that I had a basic knowledge. He then asked if I could work on web-sites and said not really. HTML is not really my expertise. I told him that and his response was "oh, well I guess I can't tell you my idea." I was like okay. I then suggested that there are web-sites that help you design. His response was then "well my idea involves web cameras if you catch what I mean." I didn't catch it again and then I caught it. He realized that I caught it and was going on and on about how that industry is booming. In case you didn't catch it....he is talking about making a porn web-site. ................................ yeah he asked me to be a part of a porn web-site. Ummm, no thank you. And you shouldn't be asking that at work.........duh.
On non-work topic....I have officially left Ridge Baptist church. For a while it was held back but now the cat is out of the bag. It started when the music minister messaged me about going to a handbells meeting. I decided at this point that there was no point in holding back. I messaged him back and said that I no longer to Ridge but thanks for the invitation. He then consisted on asking where I was going. At this point I have narrowed it to two churches. What upsets me is that the minister went to the youth minister to ask about certain reasons why I left. Why not ask me? I'm not going to fret about it. RBC is behind me and it is now time to look forward. The two churches I'm looking at is Newspring Baptist and Northwood Baptist. Praying for guidance on which church to go to.
One last thing that has happened is that I made a decision to change the health of my body. I decided to start an exercise program, Insanity. I started it yesterday and wow it is tough! Today was rough but I have a support group and a coach and I will make it through the 60-day program. Hopefully I will be able to post results on here. I am pretty excited about it.
Well, that is a rough catch up.

Bye-Bye Summer
Everything associated with Summer.....heat, movies, beach....are all coming to an end. That's right, summer 2012 is in the record books and for me, it was not the best one. But I am not hear to talk about the past but the future.
September and October are turning out to be pretty good months. The main thing is all of the releases coming out. All of the summer movies are coming out in DVD starting with The Avengers on September 23. Once this starts it's a domino effect and pretty much every other two weeks, a new movie comes out. Yep, Avengers, Madea, Spiderman, and Dark Knight....those are the four I am looking for. Also NCIS Season 9 comes out, just in time for me to catch up before the new season starts.
Another slew of releases come out in September and October, but in the video game genre. October is the main month for video games and there are is a time when a new video game comes out every week. It starts out with "Epic Mickey 2" on October 2nd. This is a video game where they go through the history of Disney. Yeah......I'm a nerd, but it only gets worse. October 16th comes with the release of "Lego Lord of the Rings." I'm a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan and I thoroughly enjoy the Lego video games. Looking forward to this one. October 23 is when "Playstation All-stars" comes out. This one I am not too sure about. Going to wait to see what the reviews say before I buy this one. October ends with the release of "Assassin's Creed III." I have never played any of the franchise games but this one takes place during the American Revolution and looks great! That is all of the video games coming out that I am interested in.
Yea I am going to be spending a lot of money in September and October but to make up for this, I am starting to get more hours at Kohls. Speaking of Kohls, I am not a permanent employee and no longer in a trial period.
Well that is all that is happening in the near future. Should be fun.

A Little Venting
Yeah I know it's been almost a month since I blogged but I really don't have much to say besides venting for a moment.
This past week or so has sucked. I got back from a great trip in Alabama where I always doing something. I come back here and I am bored out of my mind.I tried to hang out with people but they are either busy, don't respond, full of drama, broke, or don't respond at all.
My friend has recently been going through a tough time with his family and he reached out to me and we started to hang out a lot. Something that hasn't happened since I moved back to Charleston. I actually was enjoying it. Sure there was the family issue to deal with but that is not why we were hanging out...or so I thought. In the past two weeks this friend hasn't even text me to hang out. It's almost like he fell off the face of the earth. I have tried to reach out to him but nothing has come back from it. To me it almost seems like I was just his crying shoulder and now that the issue is beginning to be resolved he doesn't need me anymore. Great feeling...........just being there for hard times and no more depth to the friendship.
Another friend is about to drive me crazy. His lack of dedication is so horrible. I hung out with him almost everyday right when I moved back. Then I left the church and he hasn't text me since then. It seems like he only hung out because he was getting something in return as I helped out at the church. I decided to try that theory this week and suggested he text me if he needed help with an event coming up this Saturday. He said he would text me for sure. He did text me on Monday and asked what I was doing. I wrote back and said "nothing." No response back. Weird. Yesterday he text me again and asked if I was working last night. I said no. No response back. To me it seems that my theory is coming true. He casually mentioned we are going to get lunch either today or tomorrow. Let's just say that I am not holding my breath.
There are other people who are broke and don't respond. The person who doesn't respond is my cousin.....how about that?
I am so ready to move out of this house and out of this city and start over all fresh.
