This week in boring...

This week was quite a boring one, I went to no camps or any place fun. I stayed home and my joy for the week rested on my ability to use electronics for just long enough to survive, and otherwise spend time doing other things I didn't want, I went to Barnes and Noble three times this week, and I don't plan on coming back until the staff forget me. I uh kind of made them not mad, but I was noticed. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem right being in a bookstore without buying anything, it really wasn't that much my choice to go there, but a necessity to stop that urge to do something, as long as I'm away from the computer, my mom doesn't care if we don't do anything, so the bookstore is like a small step down. My sisters didn't come with me this week, I wonder what they did.

Besides the book store, I also read my kindle, and I got caught reading it at night twice, and I always get busted by my sister for

1.  Reading after I go to bed (she always comes into my room, and actually has pretty convincing excuses, but I feel like she just wants to tell on me.)
2. Reading in an awkward position. (Yes I get it, but I need to move around while reading its helpful)
3. Eating while reading (One of my favorite multitasking things, but I'm not allowed to.)

And that's it, I spent my time reading my kindle, playing on the iPad, or reading at the bookstore. Yay! I guess when I went to chess class yesterday that was moderately fun.

Carl's Junior

Today I went to Carl's Junior, I go to a chess club from 6 to 9 and decided to go eat out today. Instead of going to subway today, my mom and I decided that fast food would do the trick as we were late anyways, before I had time to change my mind we were already speeding through the drive through. I discovered Carl's Junior's $3 dollar burger, and we ordered it, in less than the time it took us to drive from the order window towards the pickup window, my burger was done.

In my personal opinion, there is no burger store in all of the US that matches In-N-Out, and this is reinforced by the fact that I nor anyone else in my city frankly, gives the other stores even a small chance, so with its popularity an In-N-Out Burger takes 20 minutes of waiting. Now, maybe I was just hungry, but the burger I got was pretty good, it was also far more expensive than the most expensive In-N-Out burger.


So I guess I just wanted to say how great In-N-Out is.

Swimming

Every, other day, our family goes swimming for the summer. We go after the sun has set, because I hate putting on sunscreen, and thus swim in slightly colder water, I never like swimming in the afternoon anyway. This summer I also have big dreams of learning to swim, I kind of can and kind of can't, so I want to learn, but I have to teach myself on my own, which is quite a challenge actually. The cold water wasn't actually much of a big deal, at first I thought swimming after dinner was crazy, but I would always adjust, and it wasn't that cold. The only time it was cold was when we left the pool at around 8:30. just before any serious wrinkling beyond my fingers.

At this point, I'm beginning to lose my fear of water again, I went to a water park, and swallowed a few cupfuls in the wave pool (much more dangerous than the water-slides), I then decided to stick to the lazy river instead. This however, caused me to fail my swimming test, and my parents told me they were going to get my sister and I a teacher, and then forgot about it, I think I've gotten slightly better though, at least as well as I could do last year. 

Croissants

A couple days ago, I ate a croissant, I never used to like them, they tasted like regular plain old bread, but worse, because they looked unnaturally weird, but my sisters liked them, so the Costco twelve packs were purchased for them. When I get bread I only use them for Sandwiches and French Toast, I do not like plain bread. Then I made a grilled cheese sandwich, I started to like the bread part more than the cheese, because of added butter. Then I realized that the Costco Croissants also have butter on them, and if I microwave it, it tastes really good.

I guess I hadn't realized I had to microwave it when I first tried them, and now once I realized it suddenly tastes like the only bread I can bear to taste without making it into a sandwich first. So now my family is the one convincing me to stop eating it rather than make me try it.


Anyways, I get bored, and that makes me hungry...

Yay

Hello, I found a new hobby on the iPad, I am listening to the podcast "Hello Internet", on the iPad I can even listen without the iPad being actually turned on. It really annoys my parents. I have a habit of playing arcade games while listening. I first discovered it when I looked up Hello on iTunes, trying to find the song by Adele, I accidentally clicked on Hello Internet, I've been listening to it since. I have problems playing it, my dad doesn't approve, I think it is very interesting, but he doesn't think so, I always try to get him to listen to a whole episode, but whatever. For now, I can only enjoy it in my room.

More Fooling around in the bookstore

This week, without a Camp to go to I will simply fold around at the local bookstore. I've always read the same small variety of books. It's a very strange experience but I manage to somehow get through the day, It passes pretty easily. Often we buy snacks at the stores nearby, the movie theater sells $1 hot dogs. I spent yesterday doing it, and four weeks earlier, I was basically at the bookstore the whole time. Next week I'll be going to camp again though. For now, the bookstore is the single most comforting place in eventless weeks in my summer.

Movie

Yesterday I went to the movie theater with my friends. It was the most interesting thing that had happened this boring midsummer week. It started it when I woke up at around 9 to do things, then I went to the library, I then fooled around until 3 when I met up with my friends we played this game called Fort Destroyers, after a while, at around 4:30 we left for the theater, and watched a 3 hr movie. The most exciting part for me was making comments on lines, I really had to go to the bathroom though, it was weird holding it for so long. Afterwards, we ate and I went home at 10.

Repeat what I say

I used to do a sort of repeating thing for my blogs. I would go into a very lively place and record whatever people say around me. It gets really exciting when the people who I am writing about notice what I am doing. Then I make them really angry or speechless. It is sort of like reading TV or something like that. It is a clear example of my laziness however. I do it especially when I just want to take up more and more space. Eventually it can get to many pages long. It doesn't even require thinking! I generally am reminded about this style through the following chain reaction:

1."ugh, so bored"

2."My sister is so distracting"

3. "Wouldn't she be so embarrassed if everyone could hear her stupidness"

4. "Hey, that reminds me, I can do a repeat what I say blog. "
