Yeah, that song is only good when it's not stuck in your head.

 

*sigh* It's been a long week. Mom had to go to Michigan for a friend thingy and she should be back tommorow morning. All the while I've been playing mother and I have decided I don't want kids, teenage ones to be specific. I've never know myself to have the barely containable urge to smother Camden in her sleep, somebody please tell me if I was ever that annoying when I was her age.

 

We head out for Fine Arts on Tuesday (at six in the frikin morning) so somebody is bringing me coffe, or I'm stocking up on Coke Black. so either way, I'm not a morning person. Never have been, don't plan on ever being one.

 

 

Yeah, never thought I'd say that, but hey.

 

I went to the neurologist yesterday. They told me what I already knew and advised me to quit caffene and take the medicine they give me. I can do one of the two immediately, the no caffene thing is gonna be a real pain.

 

I absolutely refuse to be miserable and go cold turkey, so I'm "weaning" myself. Ehghgh.  

We're back. And omigawsh I'm tired...

 

Anyways, i got a puppy. Super cute. 

I'm taking advantage of some free time time to gve the highlights of my trip thus far...

 

Robert got us in Kalamazoo, so we don't let him drive while Mom sleeps anymore.

We got there in one piece and so far so good. I haven't seen my cousins in about 10 years, and they look a little different. David (shorty in the red shirt) wasn't even born at that point.

Uncle Rick tried to  teach me how to play the piano, and then settled down to his guitar when he realized I'm "instrumentaly challenged". 
Mom's high school friend Missy 
The house on the Amish farm Mom grew up near. They're great people, and that's where I sewed my finger to the sewing machine. I was 7, sue me. 
Fluffy cuteness!!Not so fluffy or cute. 
We all roke out into
Weird Al at this point.    

 



 

 

   

 

I love it up here!!!!!!!

I saw that somewhere, and I really can't help but wonder...

 

Anyway, we're heading out to Michigan either tommorow or Thursday. 10 hour car trip with Camden, Robert, Mom, and me in a van, oh Lord. But the rest of the trip should be fun, I'll take pictures! 

 I've been listening to the same song over and over and over. Three guesses as to what it is!! Oh please read the sarcasm in that...

 

Luke's here again, oh boy. He's been here for about two days and so far nothing's died. Granted there were a few explosions and flash fires and 2 a.m. cravings for chicken noodle soup, but nothing too serious. The chicken noodle soup was pretty good.

 

Cmaden went to Gatlinburg with Kellie, and the house has never been quieter. Oh sweet silence...

 

And now I've run out of things to say, goodness my life is boring nowadays. 

We're (meaning Mom, Camden,Robert, and myself) going to Michigan in about a week. Thank God we're not really flying, I hate planes.

 

That's really the only thing going on right now and technically thta's not even going on. I might be going to the Harry Potter movie tonight, where I might "accidentaly" bump into Leslie and the rest of my old friends. Muahaha.

 

But until then I'm not really doing anything. SOMEBODY CALL ME!!! I DON"T CARE WHO!!! 

So I went to Leslie's house yesterday, fully expecting to have some fun and stay the night and have some more fun the next day. I was wrong.

 

Her parents had a holy comeapart over my tongue ring. They went nuts on Leslie bacause they think she didn't tell them on purpose, when she told her dad and supposed he would have told his wife. And then proceeded to say I'm not allowed over any more, they don't want Leslie to hang out with me anymore, and the bull crap will probably continue as the day wears on.

 

They kept saying I got it to rebel, for sexual purposes, for anything other than "Hey I felt like getting a tongue ring, so I got one". That's what keeps getting to me, none of theose reasons are why I got this thing. I wanted to do something major, and so I did. I'm sure as heck not going to use it for anything but ornamentation.

 

 

So do I. We spent all friggin day at the Nice Mill Dam, and I am beat.  I proved it IS possible to swim upstream, and you CAN white water raft on your butt. It's just a very painful experience.

  

Today was the grand premier of the tongue ring, and most people liked it. It grossed Alex out, but that just make things fun.

 

Fine arts practice starts again, and I'm not looking forward to it.

 

Not alot is going on and I'm going to go to sleep now... 

That's right. I got it pierced today. And boy was it a trip.

We get to the parlor and I fill out all he paperwork and they get me set up in the room. They guy puts the forceps on my tongue, which was the most painful part. Then he puts the needle through, and I was beyond freaked out. I started having second thoughts (which was dumb of me) and the last thing i remember is seeing a Betty Paige poster and thinking "Wasn't that out in the hall?"

I shot up in the seat only to be pushed back by the guy that did the peircing. He told me I had seized up and fainted, then I started convulsing. He had put the bar in before I had managed to pass out entirely had to fight me to screw the ball in. I about bit his finger off.

I sat there in the chair for about 30 minutes trying to remember my legs and hands, all the while trying to reassure mom that I was okay.

I can take it out in a week and put in a smaller one in. they gave me a really long one so it can stretch with the swelling. So my tongue is about half of my mouth and I can barely talk. Great. That and I can't eat anything decent for about a week.

So yeah, I'm going to be doing something rather daring tommorrow. Will post pictures when I get them. I just have to wonder how many of you will want to kill me when I get done.

I've basically spent the past week watching movies. That and I turned in another application. So here are some of my favorites and what I think of them...

 

Howl's Moving Castle- All hail Miyazaki! Not so sure about the voice actor, but everything else was amazing.

 

Bridge To Terabithia- Watch it with a box off tissues handy, the ending will make you sad. I sniffled a little. Great everything else.

 

Stomp The Yard- I was ready to kill either myself or who ever came up with the idea for the movie 10 minutes into it. It was your typical dance movie, which is sad.

 

RENT- I will always adore this movie.

 

Dazed and Confused- If I have to watch this movie one more time...

 

Oceans 13- WWAAAHHOOOO!!! Great movie, I order everyone to go see it. It's not an option.

 

So yeah, there were others, but I don't think you want to know exactly how lazy I've been.  On another tangent, I've been wanting to learn how to play either the piano or the drums, any input?

I'm very happy (despite my lack of comments on anything). I've finally gotten past the old pain in the neck we know as writers block!!! WOOOO-HOOOO!!!!

I think we're going to Jamestown today or tommorrow. I have no idea why or when, but we're more then likely going.  Don't really know when we'll get back either.

 

I'm not sure how fond I am of the new Phusebox, it's alright but still taking some getting used to.

 

 

 Blow Me Away- Breaking Benjamin  (Pretty much been rocking out to this all day...)

 

They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady the hand
(I am losing site again)


Fire your guns
It's time to roll
Blow me away
(I will stay, unless I may)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way

Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, will we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all


There's nothing left
So save your breath
Lying awake
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown
No where to go
Only your fate
(Only I will walk away)

Fire your guns
It's time to roll
Blow me away
(I will stay, unless I may)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way


Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, will we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all

Wanted it back
(Don't fight me now)

I just can't seem to remember why God decided to create things like boredom, dysfunction, familes, reality TV, and stupid people.

 

Anybody out there care to refresh my memory? 

Yeah i'm back from camp. It bit. Seriously, we weren't even allowed to prank!! AHH!!!

 

Not I'm home, I've taken a real shower, I've had real food, and I'm watching "Good Burger". I haven't seen that movie in years. Strawberry jacuzzi!! 

 

Haha, it makes me happy. I love it... Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, may I take your order? 

 

 

I feel absolutley disgusting. Blegh. Where's some chicken noodle soup when you need it?
