"My Summer"

It hasn't exactly ended or anything, but it feels like it should be very close to ending, so there you go.
Mostly what I've done this summer has been to go to Cornerstone, which was a lot, considering.
That and I've worked my butt off for no reward at Starbucks.

Here's the thing about starbucks: I don't hate it, I don't even really dislike it; I usually laugh when I'm at work, at least once, and it doesn't go quite as long or feel quite as terrible as it did when I worked at places like Scheban or Macy's. But I don't like it. I don't feel like I'm leaving any friendships that would've been fruitful and come to anything. Don't get me wrong, I like the people I work with okay, we are generally friendly and friends on facebook and the whole nine yards as far as aquaintances go, but I wouldn't hang out with them outside of work.
Lydia, I like, she is sweet and we enjoy each other. But, the problem is that we get yelled at because we talk to much, and don't do productive things in our downtime. That's what I don't really like about Starbucks, and this is most likely because of the opposite feeling of the beanery. They like you to have fun and be comfortable at work, as long as you follow a lot of guidelines, and don't talk much. I understand being productive, but they're such funsuckers. They suck out the fun.
Also, I don't really fit in with them. I know this is the story of my life, blah blah, I wish people would talk to me, blah blah, I tell stories and people walk away before I am done, blah blah; even I am sick of my complaining like this. But it's different, and I"m okay with this difference, and it's this: the people I know at starbucks (from before starbucks) are living lives they weren't raised to live; they were raised on Jesus and loving others and being moral. They are not bad people, but they aren't living like that. I'm not trying to say I'm perfect, in fact that's the difference, I am not okay with that sort of lifestyle and I'm not okay with my own sins. Things that were forbidden are now what they live. It's just really strange to me.
Also-I don't drink, I don't mess around, I don't party, and I really don't even cuss that much.
That's whywe're different and I don't fit it.
And that's okay.
All to say, I just haven't made any friends I'll take out of work.
But, I've made over a thousand dollars, so there you go.

Good job.
