maintenance

spent a good time tonight fixing a bunch of small dings, a cracked nose, and a huge slash through my deck from someone who almost killed me. to fix these thigns you use what's referred to as 'glass' which isn't really glass, but a binary resin. you put a few drops of this hardener into the resin and it's supposed to harden in 45 minutes, but it's REALLY humid today so it's taking a lot longer....

when this coat dries i have to fix up a bunch of other dings and re-create a broken fin (that's how i got it...still free *shrugs*)....things i couldn't do 'cause i couldn't really turn the board over with other parts still wet.

on another note...i realized this morning that i think about candace a lot when i'm kind of zoning out...like...for example...suckin' down coffee and breakfast at six in the fuckin' morning after too little sleep. caught myself doing it and realized that i do it a lot. it's rather disheartening....'specially since i'm still pushing her away. she called once....and that was it. does other indirect things to just 'let me know' she's interested in doing something but i've managed to avoid her. she's not pushin' it, and i've got other things i'd like to be doing with my time right now. she can't surf, she's actually afraid of the surf : ) ("the surf" refers to 'waves'). good deal, no?

work is good. easy. i jus thave to keep telling myself i'm makin' money. i still haven't deposited my first paycheck 'cause i know i'll just spend it...but i'll hav eto do it soon 'cause i have to pay my credit card. i'm actually really enjoying my coworkers too. one of them is just fuckin' HOT.....and another girl i work 'around' but not with is even hotter. i love hawaii :) i go to the floor of the bookstore a lot so it's an opportunity to see th rest of the world, comin' in and out buying summer session texbooks. i love hawaii :) did i mention that?

found out thomas is comin' home for a few weeks too :) thomas is a good friend of mine from high school who's one of those i started hanging with more towards the end of high school and afterwards. he's one of the most laid back guys i know, always lookin' for a good time, and he's psyched to come surf with me :) i had a small hand in getting him into bodyboarding way back when and convinced him to use a gift certificate he'd won from school towards buying a pair of fins from T&C, a local surf shop chain. we had some good times, but he's taken to surfing. he braves the cold cali waters (he goes to LMU) in an incredibly overpriced wetsuit to keep warm. i think he's a longboarder though.

i'm very excited for the next two months
