it's very boring here. day-before-yesterday some friends of my parents' and their two daughters came to stay with us. they just left a few hours ago. and well, it was pretty fun because one of them liked anime and all.. but tiring
yesterday my parents got me out of school early so i could go for a sail with the daughters, so my dad and me and them went out and did some hard-core sailing (not really.)
i would like to tell you that navigating a sailboat is tons of fun, but in actuality it's a bit boring and i've done it a lot, so i didn't end up doing much steering. tried to draw a picture of a guy that my dad WOULDN'T say looked "androgynous" which by the way means someone who looks like they could be a guy or a girl, kinda failed, then dad told me to give him a beard so i did and then they said he looked kind of like jesus. which wasn't so great since he was supposed to be a pirate.
A-A-ANyway... after that, we got back, very tired, and then dad told me that barbara custis, the woman who owns the plant nursery maplewood gardens, wanted me to (dad is not very good at relaying information) "arrange some flowers or something"
so he took me there, dropped me off, took the girls home, and i was informed of my job, which was basically going into the barn where they keep all their garden decor and such that's for sale and rearranging everything so it looked nice. quite a task since normally, everything looks nice, however they got a bunch of new stuff in so everything was kinda scattered at random. so i got to play the interior decorator (and yes i got paid) which was kind of fun. though with all of the running to and from greenhouses with potted plants and dragging furniture around (got more than a few hostile/odd looks from her regular workers, like 'what the hell does that girl think she's doing? does she even work here?') it was rather tiring. at one point i tried to put a plant in a hanging basket and the whole thing (three attached hanging baskets) came down on my head. fortunately it didn't hurt all that much. so i had to get some guy who worked there to hang it back up for me. (didn't like him- he stares too much.)
so yeah.. after a while it looked pretty good in there. which is great considering i didn't know what the hell i was supposed to do when i got there, and she thought i'd gotten all the info beforehand.
and so compared to how hectic yesterday was, right now i'm bored, bored, bored.
and just for the record, 900 visits.
