I feel guilty for never updating. It's like every time I go to put something in here, I get sidetracked. But there is so much to say, so I'll organize this puppy.
( Yes, that is the neat freak in me. )
Alrighty, this thing has taken me forever to do and now it’s time to head to bed. Nighty night all. |

Just a quick little entry about this weekend and it's AMAZINGNESS.
Friday was Roomie Night. Went to Wendy's, the mall, and to see First Daughter. Very cute movie and very good night.
Saturday was The Starting Line concert. Holy hell. Words cannot even begin to describe it. Longer version of this story will come tonight, but for now we met Matt and Kenny. :D
And now today - Monday - is my birthday! YAY for being 21. Thanks for all the birthday wishes all. I love you. <333 |

So, it finally started to rain today. For the past two days it looked like it threatened to, but today the skies opened up and the rain came. You won't find me complaining though, because for the two weeks we've been back at Ship, it's been absolutely beautiful out. Normally it rains at least twice a week.
I just realized how much I love this song. It's like the story of my life. Not just pertaining relationships - or a lack there of - but just everything. Things may not always be how I want them to be, but I can hold on for a time they will be. Awww old school GC. How I miss thee.
I've been thinking about maturity level, and I've decided that one does not need to be maure all the time. It's okay to have fun and be a dork. It's okay to be silly, just know a time when it's good to be serious. Just as you can't be serious all the time, you can't be silly all the time. There's a time for every state of being.
Oh! Big news on the concert front. The Starting Line is coming to Shippensburg(!) on October 2nd - two days before my birthday. Tis very exciting. Too bad it's not the YC/TSL tour coming to Ship, but I'll take what I can get.
Alrighty, I best go. LeeAnn made dinner and it's almost ready. :D Later all. |

Hey all. Well, I'm finally back a school and Ash, Lauren, LeeAnn and I are all moved into the apartment - which is muy awesome. And this first day of classes was today. Junior won at Bristol both Friday and Saturday nights. Yesterday, the South Koreans put in a formal appeal to have Paul Hamm surrender is gold. More about all that in a later post - probably tonight or tomorrow.
( This post, however, is dedicated to the awesomeness that is Yellowcard and their VMA success last night. )
Later loves. |

| Oh no you didn't. |
[Aug. 21st, 2004|12:14 pm] |
Bigger update later, but for right now, I have one thing to say:
If they even TRY to take Paul Hamm's gold medal, there WILL be a beatdown. It's not his fault the judges messed the Korean dude's start value up, so leave his medal alone!! It's just like football. The game's over, so you can't change the score. Argh. Damn Olympic drama. |

Dedicated to Spazzy because she said I hadn't updated in nearly a month.
And she's right, I haven't updated in forever. I swear I will update more once I get back to Ship. More exciting stuff happens there.
We move into the apartment in about three weeks. How exciting is that? A freaking apartment compared to a dorm room. Not having to share a bathroom with thirty other girls, no wing meetings, doing whatever you want. I'm stoked. I miss my girls so much too. It's been almost three months since I've seen them. An eternity, I tell you. I'm looking forward to so much this year. Turning twenty one, the Yellowcard and The Starting Line tour, just seeing everyone. We have to make this year even better than the past two.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was in an accident two weeks ago at Sonoma in Le Mans practice. Second degree burns on his inner thighs, neck, and chin. Scared the shit out of me. Nextel Cup had the week off, so he was doing a sports car race for more road course experience. I turn on my TV to watch the race and the announcer dude it like "Dale Earnhardt Jr. was injured in a fiery crash today..." and they showed the video. I cried. It was so scary. Last week at Louden, Martin Truex Jr. qualified and practiced the car. Junior ran sixty-one laps of the race and then handed the car off to Martin. I must say that the driver switch was impressive. This week, Junior plans to run the whole race at Pocono. He qualified sixteenth today. If he can't finish the race, John Andretti will takeover. I'm not too sure how I feel about that. John Andretti isn't exactly the best at Pocono. Oh well. Positive thoughts. The good thing is that Junior won't take that big of a hit in the points because of the new system. Thank goodness for that. ( Oh, and here's a picture of his burns from last Friday. ) They look terrible. Poor thing.
I think I'm having a severe case of boy withdrawl. I haven't had a boyfriend since junior year of high school. That's almost four years. FOUR YEARS! How depressing/pathetic is that? The last REAL kiss I had was two summers ago. And what's even more depressing is I have no prospective boys in sight. None. Argh. And to top it off, I've been having dreams about Penishead - for those of you who do not know the Penishead story, IM me and I'll tell you. Dreams that we are together. What the fuck? Things have GOT to change, damnit. I mean, I CANNOT live my life as a spinster. I do NOT want to be some bitter old loveless lady. Yes, I know I'm only twenty and have my whole life ahead of me. But I feel like it's just slipping away and I'm still alone.
Okay, on to happier things. That was depressing like whoa. I think I'm beginning to realize how truly lucky I am. Like, I have so much in life. A roof over my head, food on the table, people who love me, amazing friends, an education. There are people out there who have none of that. And yet there are people in the world who complain because they don't have this latest shirt, or get whatever they want. And they don't realize what they have. I mean, open your eyes. Realize how lucky and privileged you are. Stop taking life for granted. Life is what you make it, man. So stop complaining, get off your ass, and realize you have the world at your fingertips. *Steps off soapbox*
I need to see Yellowcard. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Their music is just amazing.
( He is beautiful. )
I must say one thing. This summer would not have been as cool as it has been without the chats. You girls and Logan are so awesome and I love you all. Thanks for always listening to my Ryan-ness and being there. <3333 like whoa.
Alrighty, that's all can think of saying. Later all. |

WARNING: Tony Stewart fans may not want to read below.
Tony Stewart, my friends, is a dumbass. He's a moron. The guy knows he's one of the best drivers in Nextel Cup, yet does nothing to back that talent up. Especially this season. Time after time he has initiated/been involved in on track incidents and pissed off many a driver and crew.
( Here are a few examples. )
Now, I consider myself a Tony Stewart fan. I like the guy. He's an amazing driver. I like that he's not afraid to express his emotions. I've defended him countless times this season - even when he took out Kasey at Darlington. But enough is enough. Today he crossed the line by taking out not only Kasey, but also Junior. I don't know what his problem is lately, but he best get over it. If he doesn't, Tony just may find out that karma is indeed a bitch. |

Happy Fourth of July everyone! I know technically it's the fifth, but oh well. I hope that you all had a great day. I went to Delgrosso's with my family, but towards the evening it started to rain. I was on the ferris wheel with Nicole and it starts to freaking pour. Not cool. We tried to stick it out int he car for awhile but the rain really didn't give up, so we came home. The kids did their sparklers and whatnot in the yard later on when the rain fully stopped. Also, there are like four or five people around our house who have the hardcore illegal fireworks and they were shooting them off. So, all was not lost. And since neither my Mom, Dad, or I have work tomorrow, we're going to the lake.
I know I haven't posted in forever. Sorry. It seems like when I'm at school I update this thing every other day. But it home it's like every other week. Or even month. Not a lot has been going on really. I did get the day camp position, so I've been doing that. I originally didn't get it, but one of the chosen people had another job lined up and they called me. Camp goes ten to three Monday through Thursdays. I'm with the eight and up kids and I have two co-counselors. Two of the girls in the group go to school with my sister, so we bonded pretty quickly. Overall, it's been going well. I like it. But I may only be working the first session because not enough older kids have signed up for the second session. But we shall see. If my site doesn't get picked up for the second session, I only have two more weeks of work. I also helped my uncle with the annual fundraiser for the fire hall, which is always interesting. Yeah, I guess interesting would be the right word for that. My cousin and I have been doing it for at least the past five summers. But this summer, it was just me.
I just my pictures from school developed and got one of those CD thingies. So, I uploaded them onto my Photobucket. There's some of Anita's birthday and ones from our last trip to Kutztown. If you want to check them out, you can click right here.
I can't believe there's still more than a month and a half of summer left. It feels like I've been home forever. I miss school so much. I'm lost without you guys. And can't wait to move into the apartment. 303 Stoneridge is going to be where it's at.
I found out yesterday that Yellowcard is touring with The Starting Line this fall. Now that will be a kick ass tour. Ladies, we must go. Oh! And Ash, I'm getting a Yellowcard poster from the Underdogs. Our room is going to be hotness.
The SSS chats been quite the experience lately. We're just crazy in there. Jackie, when you called me from Warped I was so happy. You have no idea. Goodness, I adore you guys. <33
( Yet another survey from Mel. )
Well, that's about all I can think of saying. Goodnight everyone. |

Hello all you lovely people. I know I've been slacking on the updates lately. But, I figure instead of making small entries on practically nothing, I can make larger entries on more important events. I guess that sort of sensible. I still haven't heard from the freaking Recreation Commission about the results of my interview. It had been three weeks, so I called on Thursday and the secretary said the guy was still making his decision. That's sort of nerve wracking.
Last Friday both my Mom had to work and my Dad was sleeping because he works third shift. So I volunteered to take my Mom to work and go grocery shopping for her. Who knew grocery shopping could be so fun? It's just this normal, everyday thing. But I found it highly enjoyable. I can't wait to have an apartment and go shopping for it.
Something I've been pondering lately. I consider myself a nice person, but am I too nice? I know that there is a point between being nice and being too nice. Do I cross it sometimes? Because if you're too nice, you get yourself walked all over. And yes, that has happened to me. But if you're not nice, then people may assume you're a bitch. And sometimes I wonder if people think I'm nice to them because I want them to like me. Which isn't the case. I'm nice because I want to be. I know there are people out there that don't like me and think I'm a bitch. I'd like to think I'm okay with that. Their loss, I suppose. And my gain for not having to deal with them. I like to be nice because I can be. Where does being mean get you anyway? Nowhere, I'd say. Living your life with a frown just sounds depressing to me. I mean, there are so many people in this world who don't care about anybody but themselves. So, it's good to have helpful people too. And being nice makes you feel good about yourself too.
Dude, today's race was THE most fucked up race I have ever seen. They were under caution for twenty five laps for that huge wreck, but there was hardly anything to clean up. NASCAR messed up the scoring, but just made it seem like they were cleaning the track. And then, when Casey Mears was dropping oil EVERYWHERE, did they throw a caution? No. Of course not. Only when Kasey Kahne, the leader of the damn race smacked the wall - very hard - because he got into that oil did they throw the caution. Fucking morons. Poor Kasey. Everyone's going off about him getting his first win and how it's was never if he would win, but when. He's leading one second and then smacking the wall the next. And then he practically falls out of his car and is limping to the ambulance. Talk about heart breaking. On the other side of the spectrum, you've got Junior whose car SUCKED so bad in the beginning of the race that he went a lap down. Then, but some confusing matter, got his lap back and went on to finish third. Padded his points lead to ninety-eight, which made me happy. There were only five freaking cars on the lead lap at the end of the race. This sport pisses me off more than anything half the time, but I'm addicted to it.
Tomorrow is Nicole and Patrick's school picnic and I'm actually looking forward to it. I haven't been to the park since last Fourth Of July, so it should be fun.
This chick on Naptown PM'ed me and complimented my Yellowcard picture collection. It made me smile.
