Life is great. I'm totally loving getting to go to a "real" school. (It's a private school with about 70 students :) ) I've made some new friends and gotten closer to some that I already knew since I now get to see them on a day-to-day basis. Life has been extremely busy though. I'm sorry I haven't stopped by to say hi in forever but I figured I would finally. ;) Looks like you guys have been having fun around here! I did want to tell you all thank you for being a part of my life for over a year. It honestly was a great experience that taught me a lot about debating, ;) getting along with people, and making new friends. This place is great. Don't let it die!
:hug: Talk to you guys later,
Lee

HEEEEY LEE. \:D/

Today has been incredible; the door that has opened had me flipping out last night... nothing in stone yet, but it's looking pretty good.

On another awesome note, Aeva sent me a sonic screwdriver for my birthday. \:D/ Complete with light, sound, and flippy motion... IT'S ELEVEN'S.

Hi Lee! :wave:
Sounds like you're keeping busy. :)


This Saturday is my LAST market day of the year! Woot! \:D/ It's seemed both long and short, and it's been an enjoyable experience. Hopefully I can do it again next year, because I still have a ton of packaging supplies left to use up. Heh. I have also gotten a few regulars who like my stuff, and I have been informed by one man that he will be special ordering whole cheesecakes through the winter to last him until next year's market. :P That's fine with me... ;) I'm also making another whole cheesecake this week for a party of some sort. I'd really like to get more of those type orders, and maybe with my name and business card out there, people will contact me as the holidays come up. \:D/

You probably talked to a store clerk, right? They make like $7.40 an hour and could have been hungry and looking forward to breaktime. Your book is not that big of a deal.

That could be. Or my theory is that the book was in the back room and two things happened: The person in the back room was too lazy to bring the book out and the clerk I spoke to was too lazy to go to the back room and check. Were I a B & N employee I would have had the book out that day and if it wasn't out I would have gone back and asked the reason why.

Only make sure you're walking in love, which is also believing the best of everyone. We are not here to judge and nit-pick but love everyone, even the not-so-great B&N employees... especially not knowing why they screw up at their jobs or what the reason may be for their lack of focus. I understand frustration over books, but that's not a reason to go after someone.

Just a thought.

I only said "if I was an employee." I'm not and I didn't. I did go to a different store and an employee was nice enough to go into the back room and come out with a stack of them, one of which she handed to me. Case closed. I was merely venting my frustration is all.

LG. Life's good.

Points to whoever gets that and has one.

School demands most of my attention, more than ever this year. It seems that my life is just school. Not quite sure how that happened, but it did. So I'll try to make the most of it.

For the last two months the majority of my free time was taken up by a big Minecraft project that I finally finished today, and it's weird not feeling I have to play Minecraft instead of relaxing...

The end.

Today turned out to be busier than I thought it would be. The salad I made turned out pretty good. Which surprises me considering that I made it by myself for the very first time. I just wish I could remember which book had the recipe in it. I'm glad I copied it before I put the book downstairs otherwise I would be out of luck. I have to remember my rule that this salad is only for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
