Where do I even start? OK: I had the day off yesterday, so Austen and I decided that we were going to ditch school so that we could sleep in. That was good times. I got up at 11:30. Yay! Anywho, after lounging around for a while, we decided to go to Best Buy, and get the best buy we could find on the "Bob Marley's Greatest Hits" CD. I also purchased 2 DVD's for $5.99 each! "It's Pat" and "Logan's Run". So, after that the A-bomb (Austen) and I went over to Quizno's and ate some lunch then went to Wal-Mart to try to find the DVD "Heavyweights". We didn't have success so we just went home. I decided that I wanted to try my hand at the old BBQ. So I went to the store and got some hamburgers and hot dogs, stuff like this. :o) While I was preparing my scrumptious feast, Tani called me and asked if I wanted to hang out.
I said,"Why don't you guys come over here?" So they did! Tani, Kevin, Alyssa, Nicole, Ashli, Sara and Kyle came over. We played Texas hold up (don't mess with texas) and Nerts, and finally spoons (although there were some more spoons later in the night...) We all decided that we didn't want to watch a movie since we had dome that the 2 nights before, so I throw out, "We should go swimming!" Considering it was 10:30pm, there wasn't a great chance that we could legally go swimming anywhere, so Kyle gives us the idea of sneaking into an apartment pool.
And that's just what we did. We went on over to Zach's old apartment complex and decided that that just wouldn't do, so then we drove to these other apartments where some other people who had snuck in too let us in by opening the gate. I really didn't feel like hopping the fence. It was so fun! We were there for about 2 hours just having a blast. I felt like such a rebel. At about 12:15am or so, I saw a cop drive by, so we all jumped(literally) out of the pool and ran (literally) to our cars. The fun continued at my house where we just sat in my room and talked until about 4:30am, when I finally just said, "Do you guys just want to spend the night." No one objected. Austen was particularly excited, and I love sleepovers anyway. :o) So we all went to sleep at around 5am. It was so random, a co-ed sleepover- scandalous. I had to go to work at 12:25 today, but I felt really crappy, like I was going to puke, so I stayed for about 2 hours until my manager (bless his heart) told me I could go home. So now I'm home resting.
The summer fun is still in effect- give me a call if you want to join in, or spend the night, whichever. :o) And dudes- the Bob Marley CD rocks! Have a fun day!

I had an insanely awesome day yesterday. I went on a motorcycle. That's right, I said it. It was so fun! Words can't describe how fun it was. I even had dreams about it last night, that's how exciting it was. It was Kyle's bike, and I was holding onto him so tight because I was so scared. But at least I didn't fall off. :o) We went 105mph. Man, it was so cool! College group was fun last night too. We had a BBQ, played softball, did worship in the new church sanctuary, and then some of us went and played dodgeball. It was an awesome night. After dodgeball, me, Tani, Kyle, Andrew, Chris and Melinda went to Pappy's. Yum. Then at around 1:45am, we headed home. Great times!
So, about the dump yesterday. It kind of made me sad. That's where all of our trash goes. There was so much trash, it was unbelievable. What happens when there's no more room for it? Why are we so wasteful? It just sucked to look around and see all of this stuff that people didn't want anymore, or that they didn'y recycle. I guess I just want to say: guys, please don't waste things, please recycle, and don't litter! That's my advice for the day. :o) And go ride a motorcycle, it's the bomb for a fun time!

Only 4 more days of school left, man it feels good to say that. Then it's smooth sailing until I transfer. I have to say though, psychology has been very interesting. I've never been interested in it before, but somehow it has sparked something in me this time. I'm actually learning a lot about myself in this class- and realizing that the way I perceive myself might not be the way others do. What a thought.
Today is another glorious day off of work. It's 9:19am and I am sadly already awake, but that's okay because I get to hang out with Mother Hen today. We're gonna go to the dump! Good times. I actually like going to the dump, it reminds me of my dad. That sounds kind of bad... it reminds me of my dad because whenever he would go to the dump, he would take me with him. And also, when I went to his house everyother weekend as a kid, I would always want him to take "the long way home" and that included driving by the dump. So that's why the dump reminds me of my dad.
Anywho, it's time to get the party started over here, the summer fun just never ends...

VILLAGE PEOPLE ROCK!! Dude, I saw the Village People in concert! And the cop guy even pointed to me when they were singing "In the Navy" It was awesome! It was also great because I ate a HUGE bag of cotton candy, and I mean HUGE! :o)
After the concert, Rose, Alyssa, and I all got cowgirl hats. We look hot in them. Or at least that's what someone told us, or I told us, or something. We got to go on 2 rides: the Zipper which was so great, and this stupid one called "Hard Rock"- it hurt so bad! When we were on it this dude was like,"Hey, play some Slipknot!" And just for fun I was like,"Yeah! Slipknot Rules!" And then the new guy, Kevin, was like,"Play some Jessica Simpson, yeah!" Oh my gosh, it was soooo funny!!!! After the fair we went to Pappy's.... yummy. And then it was time to go home.
To continue the fun- yesterday Rose and I went to Boomers! It was 10 buck Tuesday. Good times. After I spent the glorious day with Rose, I went to Denny's with Tani, Ashli, and Alyssa. I'm house sitting so we all went there and had a sleepover. We didn't sleep much though. Funny how that goes. So I woke up this morning and went to class, then came home and took a nap. I have 3 days off. 3 whole days! Tomorrow is my last day off though, but then I only work for 12-5 on Friday, so it's kind of like a day off. Anywho, summer is great, I love it! I hope you all are having a fantabulous summer like I am. Oh yeah!!

It's 10am, and I am out of class, drinking an orange cream soda, listening to Coldplay, and preparing to go to the beach. What a beautiful day it is today. I think it's already like 80 outside. I don't have to work today!!! Yippie! So- last night I went to a very fun BBQ. It was at Ashli's house, and these are the people that went: Ashli, Tani, Carrie, Ausi, Alyssa, Crystal, Ashley, Michael, Me, and the new guy Kevin. He's from Minnessota. I turn 21 1 month from tomorrow. Good times. Anywho, at the BBQ, we danced a little, did some Kareoke, ate, went to a field and played soccer, and then watched the Butterfly Effect. Yeah- freak movie. I was so mad at it! It's totally whack. I love summer though, it's so fun to hang out with the homies and eat a lot. Like last week, I went to Hearst Castle with John. It was great! Our guide for the tour kept saying "tur" instead of tour. It was hilarious. It was like Nelly- right thur. haha. And then there was this guy who had really bad BO and he kept telling the tour guide random facts about Mr.Hearst, like she didn't already know. Hello! She's the tour guide! It was classic though. I wish I could go swimming in the Venus pool there, it was rad. Welp, I'm gonna go get ready for yet another Day O' Fun! See ya!

I have had an interesting week thus far. To make a long story short, I have this problem with my lower abdomen. There's a myriad of scar tissue in it from a surgery I had when I was a baby. Sometimes, my abdomen will hurt but it goes away in a day or so. Well, early Monday morning, it started hurting- really bad. And it didn't go away. Tuesday-still hurt, Wednesday-still hurt... time to go to the ol' doctor. I woke up on Wednesday morning and painfully came out into the living room. Mother Hen (mrs.Hough) asked me what was wrong- I told her and she made me a doctor's appointment. Goodie! So I go to class, come home and lay down and go to the doctor. Don't you hate it when people ask you how you're doing when you're at the doctor's office? I do. I don't know how to respond,"I'm great, considering I'm here at the doctor's." It's an odd situation. I just said,"I'm pretty good."
Anywho, good ol' Dr.Hole (that's his name) told me I needed to go see a different doctor, but not before I peed in a cup for him. Yay!
I decided that it was the wisest thing to go to the "other doctor". I was pretty freaked out about the whole situation. I called Rose and told her what was up and she asked if she could come with me. Of course I said yes. So the next morning we headed off to happiest place on earth... the OBGYN's office! And you know what, I don't know how it happened, but when I woke up that morning, my pain was gone!
It's a miracle, isn't it? He (the doctor) just told me that I probably had some cysts that bursted (how comforting) and that I would soon be over it. Then he told me I needed to come back in 6 weeks... :o(
What an adventure. So, I'm glad I'm still alive, and that I have all of my organs, even if they hurt sometimes. :o) I wish you all good health. Peace out.

Today was a glorious day- I went to the beach! It was rad, I even went in the shark infested water and boogie boarded on down! Oh yeah! Then, Crystal and I got snow cones, yummy. Now I'm just chillin' at home. I don't have to work today- I'm pretty happy about it. Also, I went out to lunch/dinner with Rose and that was fun times. I smell pretty good right now, like the beach. I think I might even go again tomorrow! Times have been really fun lately, I hang out with people every night. It is definetley summer. It's about time! Anywho, my hair color is auburn- for those of you who don't live close (ahem, L-bomb). It's cool, I'm lovin' it more everyday. Have a summery day! Peace out.

So, I dyed my hair last night. It's pretty cool. It totally looks unnatural but whatevs. Karate Kid is on right now, oh yeah! I can't believe it's almost the fourth of July. I love this holiday. It's a time for BBQ, slip n' slides, fireworks, lemonade and good times! I can't wait until Sunday! My mom and sister moved yesterday. Pretty weird, I tried not to cry. What is with this week? I guess the moving bug is in the air. I saw Spiderman 2 on Tuesday, and you know, it wasn't all I wanted it to be. I found myself wanting it to hurry up and be over with- sad. I mean, it was worth it to see Tobey Maguire's cute little face for 2 hours, but seriously, what the heck was up with that sick robot thing? I just wasn't into it. Anywho, it's time t get ready for work... peace out!
