Bring a fuzzy jacket....

Where I am… Well if we speak in simply geographical terms I am in Aurora Nebraska, 68818. That doesn’t sound too terribly exciting now does it? It doesn’t even sound that special, “Oh yeah I’m from Aurora.” Well so are a mass amount of other people so join the club! But I like to think I am pretty special so I suppose I will get into some specifics as to where I am…

Right now I am sitting in a chair in the media center. It is frigid as always but today I came prepared and am wearing a delightfully snuggly and overly large Husker’s hoodie. I’m not real excited to be here right now, to be honestly I am dreading it. All I want is this day to be done. I’m not usually such a Debby Downer, but my day didn’t start in the most amazing way. First of all yesterday I had a wisdom tooth removed, not exactly unpleasant due to the intense amount of numbing substance I had injected into my gum. I think the most unpleasant part was the grotesque scraping sounds coming from my mouth as he did something to uproot the unnecessary tooth. But it was quick and painless so I survived! Nobody told me that I was going to randomly start drooling blood on myself in the middle of Sam’s, I’m pretty sure people thought I had TB or something… So I wasn’t really a fan of that, I was even less a fan of when the numbing agents wore off… Anyway fast forward to 6:45 this morning my mouth is throbbing, my face is swollen, and my tattoo itches like you don’t even understand. But I got up and went to shower, only to have my efforts thwarted by my father who woke up late and demanded the shower first. His sleeping in caused me to be late to school and caused him to forget I was in desperate need of gas so I had to pay for it… So yeah today is not my day to say the least.

But that is neither here nor there. I’m usually a more positive person, so let us venture to a more positive topic. My home could be considered where I am, because that’s pretty much where I am most of the time anyway. It’s nothing too special or extravagant, but it is where I call home and I am pretty fond of it! It’s a simple farmhouse off the highway, with a garage, and a typical red barn.

Another place I am all the time is school… I’m not REALLY here willingly but it’s kind of a good thing to be required by law. As I previously pointed out the media center is freezing, but so is everywhere else in this school! Ryan Johnson and I have a theory that the school is kept so cold so our souls are preserved. I don’t care the reason I would just like to be warmer, but alas this is not the case hence my latest investments in giant fuzzy hoodies and jackets.

              I guess another place I frequently am is my work… That is not a place I like. I don’t like it at all. Pretty much just hate it. But I am in constant need of money, so it’s kind of a place I have no choice to be in. When I say it’s terrible I mean it’s really , really terrible, not just an over exaggeration because every teenager hates their high school jobs… no it is awful. I have to deal with terribly rude customers every day. And I cannot stand up and defend myself against their awfulness or I get the joy of being fired… So I have to paste on a smile and say, “Thank you, have a nice day!” But in my mind I am silently screaming, “BURST INTO FLAME, BURST INTO FLAME, BURST INTO FLAME!!!!” Fortunately for most of society my mind powers haven’t worked yet… I’m putting emphasis on the word yet because one day I like to think I’ll get lucky and the next old guy that tries to call me stupid because I’m blonde will be smited...
             Where am I at in my life? I have no clue…. I like to think one day I will be able to sort that all out. But who knows??? Right now I am just going through my life trying to build a good base for the best future, you know going to college, attaining financial stability that whole shebang. Moral of the story I am pretty happy with my life, except for the frigid coldness of the media center…. That should stop…
