Well, here it comes. The I Am Bored entry. You had to know it was coming the moment I got home.

Well, I'm sorry. It's true.

Currently, I have no car, no job, and apparently, no friends. At least, friends who are nearby. At least, nearby and available. At least, I think so, if I called them, I would probably know more about this.

My room is on its way to being messy again — boxes, garbage bags and random items have been unpacked and settled into the corners where they are very likely to remain for the next few months. (But really, is there any sense in unpacking sweaters that surely, I will not be wearing for the next three months, and I will just be taking away in a few months? I'm sure we'll all be doing ourselves a favor if I am just allowed to keep them there, like that.)

Tomorrow, I'm planning on working on that job part of things. A few applications here, there, and I guess in a way, the friend thing will be helped at bit since Liz is coming home. Gonna have to (once again, for the millionth time in the past few days, it seems) have to help someone pack and unpack, but she'll be back. And hopefully, Wednesday, my mom and I will trek up to my grandparents house to drive off with my what was my grandfather's car.

Do not interpret my saying that it's a big, grey, old person sort of car (I think it's a Lincoln Towncar? Maybe an '89?) as a complaint, because I am very, very grateful that I will have something to drive this summer. (Even if I must share it with my sisters.) And I know I have been very fortunate in the past to always have a car (to share) and I should not complain at all.

However, I would be really happy if I didn't need a car. If there was some decent way of survival around here on foot, and maybe if I worked at Bert's (the restaurant down the street) and I relied only on the beach (note: the words "Plymouth" and "beach" are not usually preceded by "beautiful" "spectacular" or "swim" without the word "not" somewhere very nearby) for some sort of social life, really, that's just not going to happen (well, I hope).

I miss city blocks that are neatly grided out, dozens of restaurants within walking distance, friends across the hall. I miss Wawa and the fact that no matter what time of day or night you went, there would always be a line, and chances are, someone you knew in the store.

I also really, really miss my ethernet and all the songs on my playlist. My little sister has the wonders of Linkin Park, Papa Roach and a New Found Glory on here. Something really must be done, but right now, I'm off to finish Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Because that's something to do at least.
