Backstreet's Back, A'ight?
Some of you may be wondering where in the heck I’ve been these past six weeks. Some of you may not have, but I don’t care about you. =P

To remind all those who forgot (probably everyone, with a lag this long), in addition to my normal café duties, I’ve also got an internship at the State Attorney’s office. Now, the work there is easy, but at the same time, I’m constantly tired from running and driving around constantly. And, whenever I’m not working, I am usually out with my friends, squeezing any fun I can out of my precious free time.

To sum it up, I’ve been too dang tired to update my site. It’s not you, it’s me.

Speaking of the “It’s not you, it’s me” talk, Julia and I are officially and definitivly just friends. She doesn’t want a boyfriend at all, apparently. And since I’m, as of last check, a boy, that means at the moment, it ain’t gonna’ happen. And I’m not waiting for it anymore, either.

So, I’m totally free and single. Sadly, the only place I meet women is school, and it’s out. If irony were strawberries, we’d all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now.

So, to my jorbs:

My internship has quickly become a monotonous bore, as I rarely have anything productive to do. I didn’t know this, but apparently, juvenile crime drops a lot during the summer. Well, really, without school resource officers, fewer criminals get caught, but the end result is, after the 4th, everything slowed to a stop. Gah.

Café work has been the exact opposite: way, way too busy. Last weekend was Harry Potter hell. After I was done at my internship on Friday, I had to go right to the café for the midnight sale of that damn Harry Potter book. You kids better have liked the damn thing; we had a line to the café door for four straight hours.

And then I had to go right back to the café Saturday and Sunday. Then back to my internship on Monday. On Tuesday, my day off, I slept most of the day…

What else has been happening?

My novel hasn’t even begun yet, for the same reason this site’s been neglected. I’ll try again in August.

There are three major Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournaments in the next three weeks: A regional tournament, the Tampa City Tournament, and the Cybernetic revolution Pre-Release. I’m going to at least the regional and the Pre-Release. If I’m not working I’ll go to the City Tournament, but I usually work Sundays…

At the end of this year, there’s a full on Spider-Man crossover event, called “The Other”. I’ve purposely avoid reading spoilers for it, because I want to get in on an old-fashioned crossover event. Here’s hoping it doesn’t suck.

I’ve seen a lot of movies this summer: let’s count them off.

Batman Begins: This movie has restored my faith in Batman. It was a solid film, with some excellent scenes. Scarecrow is my hero. ^__^

Madagascar: Okay, I’ll be upfront: This isn’t nearly as good as the hype would have you believe. Still, it was an enjoyable movie. It was more of a 1 ½ hour Warner Brother cartoon than a Disney movie. The penguins steal every scene they’re in. “Well, this sucks…”

Bewitched: No. I love Will Ferrell, but this script was just bad.

War of the Worlds: Why must you make HG Wells cry? The only way this tripe could have redeemed itself were if a stray alien machine fell over and killed Cruise in the last scene.

Fantastic Four: I’ll also tell you know: this isn’t the greatest movie in the world. What it is, is fun. It’s a completely enjoyable film, and I even went and saw it twice.

So, if you see anything this summer, see either Batman Begins or Fantastic Four.

What else do I have to talk about? Sadly, not a lot. When all you do is work, nothing interesting happens to you.

So, I’ll leave you now. Hopefully, it won’t be so long until my next update.

Thought of the moment: Happy now, Rayne? =P

Quote of the moment: “Would you like to see my mask?” –Johnathen Crane, “Batman Begins”

Song of the moment:

“Pain”, Jimmy Eat World

I don't feel the way I've ever felt.
I know.
I'm gonna smile and not get worried.
I try but it shows.

Anyone can make what I have built.
And better now
Anyone can find the same white pills.
It takes my pain away.

[Chorus]
It's a lie. A kiss with opened eyes.
And she's not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Nevermind these are horrid times.
Oh oh oh
I can't let it bother me.

I never thought I'd walk away from you.
I did.
But it's a false sense of accomplishment.
Everytime time I quit

Anyone can see my every flaw.
It isn't hard.
Anyone can say they're above this all.
It takes my pain away.

[Chorus]

[Guitar Bridge]

I can't let it bother me.

[Guitar Solo]

It takes my pain away.

[Chorus]
