green day - macy's day parade

i got my membership to 24 hour fitness today! it was really complicated too, with me driving home twice trying to make it back before 9. that was part of the whole parental signature thing. but! it was worth it, i saved $150. then i ran a lot and sweated a lot and took a nice clean shower with the scented soap and came home and watched law and order with my mom.
work was cool today... i was in the control room learning how to do the time stuff. those people are.. weird. but i guess that happens when you stick 4 people in chairs behind huge glass windows and no one ever notices them. all this stuff about ares vs. hi-tech, pat taking sides w/ the winner, and how smokey's title is the bear, like jesus the christ and santa the claus. dick had me call some guy down on the other side of the pool and talk to him, and when i asked the guy if he was deaf, they officially decided i'd fit in.
if i can do this and lifeguarding all summer, i think i'll be okay.
i was thinking about this as i was driving home from the gym today. there's this remake of the audrey hepburn movie "sabrina", where this woman tells the girl that paris is a place to spend time only for yourself, to find out who you are. maybe that's what i need to do. not go to paris, although that would be great. but spend time for myself this summer. well, wasn't that what i was planning on doing anyway? read good books, work a lot, go to the gym and just relax. don't stress about things the way i've been doing all year. just take it easy.
