it happened again.
notice i was able to say that without expletives. it was hard. shame on me.
but yes, yesterday i experienced poop-in-pool for the second time. numba 2 for numba 2, if you will.
kelli and i cleaned the circumstance up, relatively unscathed but with an odd aversion to Purel.
i think i heard about seven time yesterday questions as if i would still want special ed for my job. i am sure my job will involve a little more learning and a little less mess. besides...
kelli: still want this for your job, becky?
me: still want kids, kelli?
oh dear. what am i going to do when i have relatively the same job but hopefully get paid a little more but i dont get work with the girls.
i finished reading the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book the other nite, which was like half of it, and now I'm listening to the movie soundtrack. i found myself identifying with the characters, which is one mark of a good book. i freakishly saw myself in Lena, and maybe a little bit of Tibby. and if you don't know who i'm talking about, then you should go read the book.
anyways, i purposely got up before 10am this morning so i could watch T-minus Rock on MTV-2. an hour of whole rock music videos! with commercials...oh well. and i'm actually feeling a little better now. cuz, yeah, i was sick and out of commmission. it was kind of funny/embarrassing talking to the lady who called me from the doctor's office yesterday morning and i sounded like a strangled man.
but i guess i dont really get embarrassed anymore.
and now a song quote from the Sisterhood Soundtrack. cuz i'm a sucker for stuff like this... :-)
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

as i was sitting with my buddy today, watching him chew on what he likes to chew on, my eyes drifted over to the swimming pool, and i thought about what had happened on monday. it was like a reeeeely bad "embarassing story" in Teen Magazine....
SO! I was a counselor at a SUMMER CAMP! And the kid I was watching that day POOPED IN THE POOL! MY FACE WAS SO RED! I WAS MORTIFIED to go talk to the FREAKISHLY HOT LIFEGUARD and tell him WHAT HAPPENED! THEN they had to SHUT DOWN THE POOL for an HOUR!
did you notice how i mentioned that the lifeguard was "FREAKISHLY HOT!"??? Then Teen Magazine would appropriately rate my story on embarrassing-ness, like "OMG! WEAR A BAG OVER YOUR HEAD FOR A WEEK!" or "THATS IT...YOU NEED TO MOVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY."
but the truth was, it wasn't really that bad. sure, it was embarrassing, but it happened, we dealt with it. we winced, we laughed, we learned.
DAMN am i gonna be a teacher or what?!?!
my room has returned to its appropriate state of constant-disarray, because there is no other way it should be. the problem is, i get up in the morning, get ready, go to work all day, come home and then am too tired to clean up the mess. fortunatly i have been better about clothes circulation, and the plastic water bottle accumulation has been less due to my use of Nalgene Bottle.
anyways, i'm currently listening to Rufus Wainwright, because Kelli and I have found ourselves in a CD swap. she has Modest Mouse (its not Mighty Mouse, dear) and is apparently quite "nervous" about it. and about Rufus, I like what I have heard before, and he has a voice that i would like to listen to in headphones as i fall asleep.
and speaking of Folk Crooners, I downloaded a Damien Rice song from the iTunes store that came with a bonus video, which is kind of cool. It has a political message along with it, which in support you should click here to find out about.
other than being absolutely addicted to my Audioscrobbler and busy with work, not much else is going on.
I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are dyin' out in the snow
look at them go, look at them go!

i found myself in an interesting position last nite. you see, yesterday was the first day of summer camp. by nite, my nerves were shot, i was exhausted. but it was 12:30am and i wasn't sleepy. so i got up and played freecell. go figure, my internet was broken. anyways, i listened to some Explosions in the Sky (probably one of the most beautiful things you could ever listen to) then went to bed.
now i can elaborate. i have recently put into action my free eMusic trial downloads. out of fifty i think i have 24 left. dude, thats only like two albums. but anyway, in case you are interested, i've acquired...
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane over the Sea
The Decemberists - Picaresque
they've been good, for the most part. NMH and Decemberists sound alike, but Decemberists are less weird. have to listen a few more times to have them grow on me.
anyway, like i said, yesterday was day one of camp. it wasn't awful, but a lot of little things just went awry. things were thrown, people were hit, water was in places it shouldn't have been. but thats ok...things can get better.
