Helpping The Old...er People

Friday I started working for my Gammy's one friend Alice who is staying at Summit Point nursing home.

We went over right after school and the job was to do her laundry while she was away at rehab (we still don't know when she'll be back, hopefully by Thanksgiving).

I started working at 4 with my Grammy. We had THREE washers AND 3 DRYERS going at the same time non-stop.

Which means we got done pretty fast right?

WRONG.

We didn't get done until 8:30 and there was still more clothes to wash.

In the end, while the clothes were being washed I did her dishes, vacuumed, made the bed, dusted, reorganized medicine cabinets/draws/counters and ironed a bit too. Sunday the two of us came back to finish the ironing and take the dishes out of the dishwasher.

Even with how late I stayed, I still got home in time to race to Ryan's and watch The Ugly Truth with Rayy, Jackie, and him. =)

Actually, I got to his house before him (they were all out getting candy =p).

Saturday Dad, JJ and went and saw the movie The Blind Side which was very good, go see it all of you!

Did I also mention Dad and I played Left 4 Dead at 2AM? =p

Sunday Mom made her famous spaghetti (that's way better than yours) and Jackie came over! =D

Been playing Happy Aquarium too on Facebook. It's addicting. Friend me and be my neighbor! =)

The Goods, Hair Cuts, and Puzzling Grammy's!

Friday Ryan drove Jackie and me over to my house and we chilled there for about 2 hours wondering what to do for food. In the end we went to Reddis Pizza and ordered hot wings, cheesy bread and a large pizza.

And lemme tell ya, those hot wings? HOT.

Met up with Andeth at Network video where we spent probably at least another hour looking for a movie to watch (I think that's how long it takes us on average... =x) and Andeth and I finally decided we were gonna get The Goods. Live Hard. Sell Hard. Which, was hilarious. =p

Saturday Mom took me to get my hair re-highlighted and styled. It turned out great! =D

Then we went to Mom's Diner next door and I got a bacon and cheese hamburger. I love diners. =)

Hung around my house for a bit when Jackie texted me asking if I wanted to do anything. I told her I would pick her up and we could go get another movie or something. We ended up picking out Dead Silence and heading over to my Grammy's house to show her my hair.

As soon as we got there she was asking Jackie what she wanted to eat and in the end she made her some of her special soup and some chili! I noticed the puzzle she was working on and brought it to the table where we all started working on it.

By the time we looked up at the clock we realized it was going to be too late to start the movie. So, we decided to sleep over! =D

Went and picked up Jackie's things and mine and headed back to her house. We started working on the puzzle again and around 2:00 we started the movie (and yes, that's 2AM). Jackie and I huddled together in the chair under the blanket. =p

After the movie was done Grammy went to bed and we watched Dane Cook until about 4:30 when we went to bed.

I woke up around 11:30 and decided I wanted to make pancakes!

I made some Micky Mouse shaped ones too! =D

Worked some more on the puzzle and then Jackie and I fell asleep on the couch in her green room. My Aunt Lib came over next and then Grammy, Jackie and I got the piano started and we sang songs while it played the music rolls. =)

Did some homework at my house, ate dinner and then dessert! Jj made us laugh hysterically being a goof ball and then I took Jackie home.

Today I got many compliments on my hair and jeans. =D

Tonight, I'll be working on things for my Marco. Polo. Die. script. I'm excited I've started working on it again.

Tramps Like Us, Baby We Were Born To Run

The concert.

Was.

Awesome.

But it was hectic getting there.

First, the limo was a half hour late, but when it finally got to our house, Mom and I were really excited!

But man, the thing looked like it was gonna fall apart any second.

The driver, Nate, got out and opened the door where my Mom's friend Gary L., his new girlfriend Jennifer (for those of you that remember, that was the blonde in the garage that one night), my Uncle Scott, his girlfriend Gina, and Gary R. with his girlfriend.

And guess what her name was...

Karen! xD

Why do I find this so humorous?

The Vonage commercial!







When I saw her I went "Hay Karen" and my Mom nearly lost it. =p



Once we were all set and ready to go, Mom and I learned Nate was a replacement for the original driver, whose daughter got sick with H1N1. He also had never been to Cleveland before.

Well shit. =p

My Uncle had to give him directions to Lock Keepers which was were we were all going to eat dinner. Then when we did get there nobody could get the doors opened in the back of the limo and Nate couldn't either, AND he also locked himself out! xD

Dinner was nice, but way too fancy for me. =/

I tried some sea bass and I thought it tasted good. =)

Got back in the limo where Bruce was playing on the radio and we rocked out while cruising on the highway. Where Nate got lost again.

It was a good thing my Uncle Scott knows Cleveland, cuz we would have never made it to the Q I'm sure. =/

Karen and Gary. R had their own seats on the ground floor and left while the rest of us got in the elevator and went one floor up to our seats. If you face the stage, we sat to the left. They were some pretty good seats, you could see the whole stage and all that. =D

And before the lights went out Gina went and got me some Mike's Hard Lemonade. =x

The show started around 8 and everyone got stood up and danced and cheered! Bruce was famazing! He crowd surfed too! The man is 60! o.o

My Mom and I went crazy when he played 10th Avenue Freeze Out, Born to Run, and our most favorite, Jungleland.

I almost cried during the sax solo, it looked like the happiest she had been in a long time. I'm so glad she wasn't sick last night.

Bruce started collecting people's signs with song requests on them and played those too! He played my other favorite, Pink Cadillac!

Went down during the encores since he was playing some of his new music for that. I got a hoodie (which I will be wearing tomorrow), Mom got a t-shirt, and we both got JJ a poster and Dad a flag to hang in his workroom in the basement.


They started playing Rosalita and where we were, we were right behind the stage on the main floor but every time we went to go into see him security would kick us out. Soooo Mom and I found another way and we snuck in right past the cop and went right in the middle of the crowd.

Found the limo and got lost going on the way back, naturally.

Made it home around 12 and woke up the next morning to discover that while trying to turn around in our driveway after dropping us off he hit one of the little pine trees lining the driveway.

Did I mention he left like, half of his bumper laying in the dirt?

Oops. =p

Hung out today and then the cable guy came over (sadly his name was not Larry) and now I am able to pause and rewind live TV and record!

That's me, the almighty Ashley!

School tomorrow, semi excited!

Warm

I wish the weather would stay like this forever, it's so perfect.

The different colored leaves, the sun. Heaven. =)

Yesterday I got the whole family to go see The Men Who Stare At Goats. Despite the fact the movie was terrible, it was nice having us all together. We don't do things like that often anymore. Mom is either sick and Dad's being an ass, or both.

This year I'm hopping to get all of us to do more together things.

Today was somewhat stressful when I woke up.

First, I woke up late. Then I didn't know what to wear. Then Rayy needed a ride. Then Mom needed the car. And THEN it turns out my Dad also took the car in the morning and wasn't back yet.

But in the end, he returned just on time, and Mom and I picked up Jackie (where I got what I wanted to wear), and Rayy and met up with Andy at Marc's and got boxes for Mom because we're getting our living room painted and re-carpeted and needed a place to put all our crap in.

We went to Sagamore Hills Park and took pictures there for a few hours. Climbed the one tree and did goofy things. =p

Went to Apple Bee's and ate dinner together. It was lots of fun!

I thank Andeth again for not getting angry with the dozen of plan changes and for driving us around.

Got home and did homework. Now I'm here.

I don't know what's with me, I just don't feel like putting too many details in my blog post anymore. =x

Anticlimactic

Nothing really interesting happened in school today.

=/

Or at home either.

Grammy came over to watch Mom and wait for the docs to call so she could go with her when she got her ultrasound but gee, they didn't even call.

Assholes.

I swear almost every doctor pisses me off royally.

I Promised Myself--UPDATE

Mom is coming home from the hospital even though they wanted her to stay. She has to go back to the hospital to get an ultra sound on her heart tomorrow.

Now I'm just waiting for her to come home.

ily.

I Promised Myself

A little bit ago, not to use my blog to voice my 'issues' anymore and to try and only write about the happier things in my day.

But of course promises are meant to be broken, at least a little bit. I guess my excuse is this post is really for a update and so I don't have to keep typing the same thing via IM over and over and over again.

However there is going to be some humor seeing as it's dealing with my Mother. =p

So I get home from the bus to find my Mother sitting on the couch completely out of breath and grabbing her chest. When I asked her what was wrong she said that her heart was beating very fast and that she could hardly breath.

I told her that she was either gonna call the ER or I was gonna take her there myself and ya know what she said?

"Okay that's a good idea I'll go. BUT WAIT JUDGE JUDY IS ALMOST OVER!!"

That's, what I like to say 'So Saundra'. =p

I took her to the ER and they stuck the leads onto her. Her heart rate was around 101-90 which was high for her but it wasn't too bad. It began to drop and got back down to what her pacemaker was set to which was around 74-80 (her pacemaker is set for 74).

They took blood to do some tests and also took an x-ray of her chest.

After being there for about an hour or so Mom started talking to the old lady next to us named Stella. She told us the story of why she was here and about her rescue dogs. She was really nice. =)

Dad came and was really worried naturally and annoyed that we didn't call him, but we told him it was because we weren't sure if it was serious and that he also had stuff with his mother to deal with too.

I went home to feed the dog and cat and took JJ to Wendy's. After that I did the rest of the laundry and then watched 101 Dalmatians with JJ. Dad came home with the news that "Mom is being taken to the closest South Point hospital because they want to check if she has a blood clot in her lung because the machine they have at the ER here could cause her pacemaker to stop."

Apparently there was a high level of something in her blood that suggested she could have one. Dad wasn't very good on the specifics, although I don't expect him to really be.

A lot of people have been calling the house, and I've been trying to give them all the info I could. I've called my Dad and left a message so I'll blog some more when I get the info about her at the other hospital.

Cross your fingers guys.

Halloween Party!

Saturday night I went to Miss. JackiePeaches Halloween Party!

Got there early with Ed and Tom and we helped set up.

Ed dressed as a bunny and Tom as a warrior dude.

Andy went all out. He wrote 'book' on his face and went as...you guessed it, Facebook.

=p

Mike made a T-shirt that said LIVE so he was a 'live mic'.

Jacike was Pinky from Pacman and I was Ms. Packman.

Cynthia was Matilda, and Jackie's cousin Carly was a Devil and her boyfriend wore black clothes and a kick ass Jack Skellington hat.


That was pretty much the group for awhile until we went trick or treating.

After that Jackie wanted to play a game with toilet paper. I hugged her because I wanted to be on her team and suddenly we were attacked and wrapped together in the 2 roles of toilet paper instead. =p

We also played a game where we had to suck on suckers and pass a life saver from sucker stick to sucker stick. =p

Then the rest of the gang came over!

Tom, Max, and Jon (Carly's bf) had a competition to see who could stick the most big marshmallows in their mouth.

In the end, Max got 12, Jon 15, and Tom 16. I got 11! =p

Rest of the time we pretty much just talked and goofed around.

My Dad came dressed in a Scream mask and holding an ax and walked in screaming. He was kinda disappointed no one was really scared but I was glad he came anyways. =p

Watched SNL and then went right to sleep. Got up early and helped Grandpa clean leaves in his yard and went to see Grandma in the hospital. Even though she's going into rehab tomorrow, if you were to put her sleeping next to a corpse, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. She's so thin and her arms are all black and blue from the IV's.

=/

10 more day's until The Boss! I'm worried/excited!

Tomorrow is Monday, sometimes I wish we had 3 day weekend. =p

Another Long While

Hellos followers!

It's been a long time!

I'm sorry, I just haven't had the desire to blog for awhile. I'm either too busy or too tired to.

=/

The only thing exciting that's been happening at the house is a game I think I'm gonna call Kaboom.

How do you play?

You pick any topic under the sun, whether it be how you're doing, the weather, politics, religion, your favorite color etc.

How do you win?

The longer you can talk to my Dad without him suddenly exploding on you, ya win.

3 minutes is my record. =)

The lovely Jackie is hosting a Halloween party at her house, I can't wait! I helped her gather some of the Halloween decorations at my house yesterday, and the day of the party I'm going over early to help set up. =D

Red Ribbon Week is this week.

I hate it, and the fact that I didn't think about the fact that I was putting a red shirt on this morning. So today I looked like I supported it.

Fuck.

The lady asked me if I would sign the pledge again today and again I said no.

And again she looked at me as if I were Satin.

I'm sorry, but I'm set on the plan of trying a little weed after I graduate. Don't like it? Then piss of.

And yes I do support it being legalized.

While waiting in line for lunch today the really small freshie that looks like a 4th grader started talking to me (or rather my boobs, since that's where she came up to). We talked about Ketchup. =p

Went to the docs and got my flu shot (not the Swine flu one, you're lucky if you got that one). I got Dora stickers!! =D

Applied for a job at Fun n' Stuff. Also going to apply for a job at Burlington and maybe Peppers too. =)

And with that, I leave you all farewell and with one question to answer:

How do you release your anger and frustration?

Thursday, October 15, 2009

*Cough*

Jeez, everyone is getting sick. Friends are sick, family is sick. Hell, even I've been sick for the past week. They shut down University school for a week too because so many kids were out sick.

=/

Nothing very exciting happened during school today.

But after school I did have a blonde moment.

So I go to Kohl's to get an application. After finding the customer service desk they refused to give me an application because I was 16 and now 17.

But here's the fun part.

When I walk out the door to the parking lot again I notice something....

The car isn't there.

At first I thought it was the normal, hey you're in the wrong row but as I started looking around, I couldn't see it still.

Next I tried hitting the unlock button, hoping the lights would flash and attract my attention. However, no lights either.

Kinda think of it, none of the cars looked like mine.

I called my Mom up and asked how to turn the panic alarm off on the car once you press the button (so I didn't look like a moron when I hit it to find the car and not being able to shut it down) and she asked me why I needed to.

I told her I couldn't find the car and I took a deep breath and pressed the panic button on the keys...

No alarm. No ringing. No nothing.

Naturally I started freaking a little and thinking the worst.

But Mom came to the rescue!

You see, I hardy ever shop at Kohl's (wonder why I wanna work there huh? =p) thus, I don't know the layout all that well.

So when my Mother asked me "Well, are you in the right parking lot?"...well...yeah.

Turns out there are two parking lots that look exactly the same.

.....

But the car was in the other one!!

Tonight everyone (except Dad) is sick in the house, and he's going out of town tomorrow. So I'm going to take care of Mommy and JJ tomorrow.

I'm sensing a pajama 'party'?

Love List

Sooooo, "Love List" huh? Lez dew eeeet!

I Love...

1) My Imagination
My mind is never still- which is probably why it used to take me a long time to fall asleep quickly. I was always just just thinking and imagining the most random things, situations and stories in my head. Now I have them under control a little bit...

Sure in hell helps me at school. =p

2) My Sarcasm and Sense of Humor
It seems to always keep that type of comedic spark going in my life and hell, if you're able to laugh at one thing or group of people you should be able to laugh at them all. It also helps on those rough days. I especially love cheering my friends up with it. =)

3) My Music Tastes
There really isn't any type of music that I've found I completely hate yet. It annoys me when others refuse to listen to something because it's too "slow" or it's "country". I love that I have a lot of variety.

4) My Eyes
I love the color. Green with little flexes of brown is what they are and when I wear the right outfit everyone seems to notice them too. =)

5) My Body
At least most of it. Especially when I get time to work out regularly. Abs=love!

6) My Goofiness
I'll do just about anything to get a good laugh out of people. Plus, it's just no fun being serious and practical all the time!

7) My Ability to Stumble Upon Strange Happenings
I've seen and had many weird things happen to me in my life so far. But what I also love is the fact that just for my own humor I'll find the most ridiculously positive sides of it all.

8) My Height
Tall enough to look down at the freshman, yet small enough to beast you at hide and seek. And what the hey, good things come in little packages!

9) My Boldness
Yes, I do color outside of the lines. What now bitch?

10) My Strength
Not so much physically, but mentally. At least I think I'm pretty strong minded. I've been through quite a lot in my life, especially when I was young. I've had to play many roles in my life to keep everything stable, and once I stumbled a bit. As much as I still want to do it again, I know I can't. That in itself is a big battle for me because I know that if I do (as dramatic as this may sound) everything, and I mean everything would be extremely royally fucked in my life in every aspect possible.

This is why I'm going to add a bonus to this "Love List":

11) My Friends and Family
No matter what has happened you guys (and you know who you are) have been with me through this and thin. Through everything, at least one of you has been there for me. Thick and thin, big and small. Even if you don't feel like you're there for me, even if you're only able to say "I'm sorry" or "I hope it get's better" that's help enough for me, because I know that no matter what you wish there was something more you could do.

I'd be happy to give everything good I have to all of you in exchange for anything bad or evil in your lives. In the end I know all I really live for in life is to see all of you happy.

How's that for fortune cookie sounding Jackie? =p

Rayy I'll have your To-Do list you requested soon too!

Sunday, October 11, 2009

Remember...

Those horror movies you'd watch or still watch?

Like Scream, Halloween or Prom Night?

Do you think anybody would ever do something like that?

Just decide to kill someone for no real reason I mean.

Yeah, I wish it could never happen either.

I don't know whether it's because I was already stressed and upset from my week or if it had nothing to do with anything entirely but this story I saw on Nancy Grace disturbed me so much I almost puked.

I couldn't find the video but I did find the transcripts...:

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Breaking news in the shocking Boy Scout murder. Investigators say there could be additional arrests in the case.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The participants intended to kill the occupants of the home, if anyone was present.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Four teens currently arrested in the machete hacking death of 42-year-old nurse Kimberly Cates. Kimberly Cates died of multiple stab wounds to her head, torso, arm and leg -- her 11-year-old daughter surviving, now recovering at a Boston children`s hospital.

Investigators gearing up -- multiple search warrants executed, dozens of people interviewed, as authorities search for motive and possibly additional suspects.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Christopher Gribble (ph) is charged with the most heinous crime -- murder in the first degree.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Prosecutors say Christopher Gribble was armed with a knife and Stephen Spader had a machete. Authorities say William Marks and Quinn Glover were also armed when they entered 4 Trow Road in Mount Vernon. Kimberly Cates and her 11-year-old daughter were sleeping inside.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They targeted this home, essentially ran (INAUDIBLE), because it was on an isolated road.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Gribble and Spader face three charges that include first degree murder. Prosecutors say both suspects hit Kate and her daughter with their weapons. Kimberly Cates allegedly died in her bed, while the 11-year-old suffered serious injuries.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She remains in the intensive care unit. It doesn`t appear that her -- her injuries are life-threatening. But that isn`t, by any means, to minimize the severity of the attack.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: A sixth grade girl is brutalized.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The participants intended to kill the occupants of the home if anyone was present.

(END VIDEO TAPE)

GRACE: Straight out to Joe Dwinell with the "Boston Herald." Joe, I`ve just heard the disturbing news that the little 11-year-old girl`s toes were hacked off.

JOE DWINELL, REPORTER/EDITOR, "THE BOSTON HERALD": Exactly. Sources tell "The Herald" that the girl`s toes were chopped off in this heinous attack. She`s now recovering in the Children`s Hospital in Boston and they discovered her toes at the crime scene.

GRACE: To Dr. Lee Vinocur with the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Dr. Vinocur, is there any way -- I know of other body parts -- hands, legs, fingers that have -- and more -- that have been reattached?

Is that a possibility here?

VINOCUR: Well, I mean, it depends on the amount of time and when they found the toes and if they transported them and they didn`t have a long ischemic time. But certainly, with fingers, which are more useful, it depends on which toe. A big toe, they will spend the time to transplant because it helps with balance. But sometimes a baby toe, to go through all that surgery, they might not do that.

GRACE: Why did you say ischemic?

What is that?

VINOCUR: Ischemia means how long the toes were off before they could put them on ice and get the blood vessels to contract so that the tissue doesn`t start to die.

GRACE: OK...

VINOCUR: So you want to get the, you know, the part brought to the hospital.

GRACE: As fast as you can.

To the lawyers, Susan Moss, Mickey Sherman, Anne Bremner. You know, Mickey Sherman, that was to torture that little girl. That was to torture her. Now, you can`t tell me anybody is caught up in the heat of passion, they`re all in a pack mentality and then I find out the little 11-year-old girl has her toes chopped off with a machete. I can hardly form the words, Sherman.

SHERMAN: I didn`t do it. The problem is it`s indefensible. It is absolutely indefensible. I mean, you know, this is why people embrace the death penalty. And, you know, we saw because of the fallibility of the criminal justice system and The Innocence Project results, we say we`ve got to get rid of the death penalty.

And then comes one of these cases, which I call the end of the end of the death penalty, because we all want to say, let`s kill these guys and then we`ll get -- get rid of the death penalty.

GRACE: We are showing you photos. Take a look at this, Mickey, Anne, Susan. These are some of the guys that are now being held on murder and attempted murder on an 11-year-old little girl, murder of the mother. Here are the photos of the suspects from Facebook.

Now, I especially want to show, Rosie, the shot of one of them holding a knife.

Could you please get that one for me?

There you go. And I believe there`s one more holding a knife. There you go.

Now, how would you like to bring that home to dinner, Dr. Lillian Glass?

DR. LILLIAN GLASS: Horrible. It`s -- it`s just egregious. And it shows there`s a lot of sadism. You can see it in their faces. It`s -- it`s repulsive. It sounds like a ritual type of behavior.

GRACE: Out to Clark Goldband, our producer on the story.

What more can you tell me?

CLARK GOLDBAND, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER, COVERING STORY: We are standing by, Nancy, for breaking news. Authorities not ruling out additional arrests. We know four suspects already there in custody, but authorities on the ground questioning more witnesses and seeking more answers.

Also, Nancy, as you talked about, that 11-year-old girl had her toes removed and unfortunately...

GRACE: Don`t say removed. Don`t say removed. That`s not what happened.

GOLDBAND: It was...

GRACE: They hacked her toes, a little girl`s toes -- what is that, the fourth of fifth grade -- off with a machete, Clark. They didn`t remove them. Don`t -- don`t sugar coat what has happened to this family.

The father is out of town working to make a living. He leaves for one night. That night, his wife is murdered asleep in her own bed and his daughter is nearly hacked to death. And now, Boy Scouts and a Mormon missionary being held on murder charges.

What can you tell me about these alleged perpetrators, Joe?

Joe joining us from "The Boston Herald."

DWINELL: I can tell you a lot. Christopher Gribble -- that`s the one with the knife. He was supposedly going to go on a Mormon mission. But he also spoke about how the commandment of thou shalt not kill was -- was -- he was having trouble getting over that.

Facebook friends tell us that Christopher was just racked with hate, anger, rage. And this is also true of Stephen Spader. He, too, was dark. He had turned from a kid who was into, you know, theater, to someone who is just full of hate.

They went, in the early morning hours of Sunday, and just hacked this -- allegedly hacked this family apart.

GRACE: I`m just -- I`m just sick. I`m sick at heart. This child holding onto her life at the hospital. The father -- no more wife, no more mommy. And I`ve got to tell you, trying to raise two children, it takes two.

Hookie

So I get to school and then coach calls and tells us that the tournament was canceled.

I have only bits and pieces of my homework done and my book bag is at home, let alone dressed in my golf gear.

He explained that he would e-mail the teachers about our homework and to go back and change and get a pass.

Well...instead of doing that I told my Mom I didn't want to go to school so we went to McDonald's for breakfast and ate together before I went back upstairs to sleep for 4 more hours. =)

Good idea?

Most likely no.

But I feel better than ever right now. It's like all of a sudden my confidence came back. I was able to look in the mirror today and think "Wow, you really are pretty" for the first time in ages.

After my 'nap' I got dressed and picked up JJ from the middle school (he leaves early because the doc doesn't want his foot down all day) and I treated him to Wendy's. On the way home Stevie Nicks "Edge of Seventeen" came on and we were dancing to it. =p

Watched Scooby Doo Spooky Island and when Dad came on went with him to walk the dog. He was very surprised and happy that I was going with him. =)

Headed over to Jackie's house where we did some homeworking together before running up to CVS and getting ourselves each a Betty Crocker Warm Delight Brownie.

We thought that all you did was take the bowl out of the box and then stick it in the microwave.

WRONG!

They make ya work for it.

First you need to take the brownie mix and pour it in the bowl and then add water, and then stir it up and THEN you put it in the microwave for 45 seconds before squeezing the chocolate fudge on it.

In all our hard labor we also decided to crunch up ice cream bars into the brownie too.

It's was the yummiest thing in the world. =)

Won't be in school tomorrow, actually golfing this time! =D

Then Friday I get to miss a Spanish test and ton's of other shit!

Whoop whoop!

(Starting to regret me staying home a tad...)

I Was Pondering...

This may come to be a touchy subject for you, or this may even well surprise you.

But.

I've been meaning to get opinions from all of you (even the close friends I see at school everyday) in the comments section regarding this.

Ready?

What if you needed a license to be a parent?

Does that sound wrong? Would you fight against it? Or would you agree?

Pretty please comment, don't come to me. Put it in writing.

Homecoming 09

Was a blast.

I actually started dancing as soon as we got into the gym which was something I never did in the years before.

And here are the lovely pictures my Dad managed to take:







I think that last one is a keeper. =p

Despite the fact of me hating this year it made it seem somewhat better.

But only somewhat.

May I also say that the lovely woman and dear friend dressed all pretty in pink did my hair?

She's a talented little devil. >=)

(Also note that the man with the brown hair wasn't looking at the camera in any of the pictures. Shame on you Ryan. =p)

After homecoming Andeth, Ryan, Jackie, Mike, Billy, Dev, Gerber, Tom and Ed all came back to my house for some pool, video games and chicken fries! =D

Gerber did some magic tricks too and Tom was good at pool (Andeth and Mike had already impressed upon me their skills last year. =p)

That's about all for now. Too tired to blog anything else. =x

ZOH MY GOSHIES

I am.

The happiest person.

Alive right now.

First of all, I shot my personal best today. A 41.

THEN

I found out I beat Kendra. A girl on the Stow team who NOBODY likes (even her team mates). Stow, Falls, and us have made an anti-Kendra gang, we have an imaginary tree house.

But I digress.

THEN

I found out I did 2nd best on the team.

THEN

I found out I beat Stow's number one player.

THEN

I found out that our team all together beat Stow by one stroke.

They beat us by one last year.

Revenge!!! Revenge!!!!!

Did I also mention we beat a school record?

AND

Coach bought us frosites??

Hellz to the yeah.

It's been a pretty awesome week.

Adventure

So Gina had set a 10:35 tee time today at Fox Den golf course.

Mapquest said it would only take me 25 minutes to get there. I left at 9:30 so I could get there early.

I got there at 11:10.

Why?

Because the dumbasses had the address wrong on their website.

Everything was fine, I got off the right exit, I made the right turns yadda yadda. Then all of a sudden when I'm supposed to be turning into a golf course there's a retirement home (that's not even the right address I might add.)

So after driving up and down a few times I pulled over and called Gina and asked her where it was. She told me to keep going up the road and go onto Fish Creek which would be on the left. She also told me to keep driving up past the Hudson Stores and under a train bridge.

So I did and I kept going till I hit Twinsburg and called again. They told me to drive back, I went too far, and that it should be on the right now.

So I dive all the way back to where I was and still no Fish Creek.

Since their directions aren't working I decide to try and wave someone down on the road.

1st, a woman in her car:

I wave.

She waves back.

-_-

2nd, a group of local kids:

"We dunno."

YOU FUCKING LIVE THERE YOU SHOULD.

3rd, jogger:

I stop the car, wave at him to come over and yell excuse me out the window.

"Hi!" *jogs away*

...

Seriously.

There was no where else to park by the Hudson shops and it's bumper to bumper traffic so I called them back again and have them give the phone to the starter.

He finally gets me there. Turns outs even though I told them I was heading North they thought I was coming from the South and the directions where backwards. Fish Creek was really on the right when it should have been on the left and then left when it should have been on the right.

Did I mention all this time I was driving with the light on because SOMEBODY (*cough* Dad *cough*) didn't fill up the tank the last they took the car?

When I finally got there and was paying in the club house everyone was like "OMG ASHLEY'S HERE!" Not just Gina, Ashley O. and Lauren, people that worked at the place.

I made a name for myself and I wasn't even there.

Skills?

I think so.

After we got done playing (did I also mention we got golf carts?!) Gina rode in my car and we got gas and Burger King!

Drove her to 2-Club and then went and gave Rachel her "Get Well Soon!" balloon that I tried to give her yesterday. =p

Watched the beginning 5 minutes of the Browns game, became disgusted and came here. JJ and I are gonna play Left of Dead now! =D

So Today...

Yeah.

It was a bad day.

Very bad morning.

Somewhat good afternoon.

Horrible evening.

Great now.

This morning my Mom told me that JJ had to go to the ER last night because his leg pain was so great and his dumbass doctor won't give him any more pain pills.

But I digress.

I've had a lot of weight on my shoulders for the past few weeks, and I guess I just needed to...let it all out?

As soon as my Mom told me about my brother I started bawling. I cried on the bus, I cried at school, cried some more, cried at golf to the point where I was shaking and nearly cried after golf because I was freaking and saying how much of a "horrible sister" I am and how I "hate myself."

Which wasn't the main reason it was just the last thing that set me off ya know?

But the good thing about today is that I got lot's of hugs and I'm happy now. =)

AND NO GOLF TOMORROW!!!!

*back flips*

And may I say I just love you guys so much?

Hug tackles will be given on sight tomorrow. So watch out. =)

Oh, and this Dane Cook skit reminded me of today (sorry it's not the actualy footage...yt didn't have it...):

He's A Supa Freak, Supa Freak!

Woke up and went to The Range today instead of 2-Club because it's free there for me.

It wasn't very crowded. In the end there was only two guys left when I was just about done hitting my second bucket of balls.

When the guy behind me was leaving he asked me how long I had been playing and told me that I had a really nice swing and to keep it up.

So, ya know, of course I felt pretty damn good. =)

I couldn't finish hitting the whole bucket of balls though because my arm was hurting really bad. When I was leaving the older guy (he was like, maybe 50? =/) that was hitting further down suddenly just swung at the golf ball and turned around and went:

"Oh my good! Look, look at that!"

It was a terrible shot but I told him it was good anyways and the rest continued as followed:

"Ya see, I knew it would be a good shot! It's just cuz you're such a pretty girl and all and that good karma just effects people! Have long you been playing golf?"

"Since I was 8."

"Ah, wow it really shows!" *stares at me rubbing my arm*

"Yeah, I just gotta get this arm fixed and I'll be top dog on the team."

"Oh, ya hurt your arm? What's wrong with it?"

I told him how nobody knows for sure, and that it could be from typing and golf and all that.

*claps* "Oh yeah, yeah, that makes sense! It could also be because you've been playing golf for so long, which sucks because you're such a pretty girl! But I bought all of these tapes and they taught me this really good type of swing- oh! Here! Lemme show you!" *grabs a club out of his bag and swings*

He kept continuing on about the swing and then he shoved the golf club in my hands and was like "Let me see your grip! No, see, you're too tense! Take you arm and relax it!" And he started grabbing my right arm changing it around and then tried to stand behind me.

So I swung the club and grabbed my car keys and tried to make a move to go but he stepped towards me and was like "So where does your arm hurt?"

*holds out arm a little* "It hurts here, and up my arm. And I really should go now to ice it-"

"You mean here?" *grabs arm and runs finger up and down it*

"Yeah, yeah, I really need to go now-"

He then went and grabbed his golf club and hit another golf ball and went "YES! That's the swing ya gotta do! Nice shot huh?!" *holds out hand for a high five*

So I went to quickly tap it and run and he grabbed my hand a little bit and took a deep breath and went "Such a pretty girl" really softly.

"I NEED TO GO NOW! BYE."

I grabbed my stuff and started leaving and he kept talking and almost kinda following me so I took out my cell phone and pretended to be talking to someone. I was so freaked I didn't even want to stay and tell the owner and high tailed out of the parking lot at 45 mph.

At first I though he had a mental problem or something like that because he was talking really fast and somewhat shaking. But after all the pretty girl comments and staring at my chest and legs and trying to grab me shit, he screamed pedophile.

He even had like, those classic pedophile glass.

And what was even scarier was that I was there ALONE with him.

I drove to my Grammy's house down the road and told her everything and she said if I ever wanted to go to there again to bring her and that she'll bring her gun.

Dad told me that if he's there the next time I go back to tell the owner.

Honestly, I think I'll waste my money at 2-Club. I feel like he fucking stripped me with his eyes.

Friday Night Lights

First home game of the year!! =D

Had a pep-rally at the school for all the varsity fall sports. The cheerleaders didn't make the girls golf team a paper banner to run though.

Bitches...

=x

Then we had dance offs between each sport's team and the boys and girls golf team got the chicken dance! Mya, Jenna, and me went out for the girls team and kicked ass! xD

Golf practice was very bad today since we were all pumped. We kept hitting all the balls waaay too hard and getting like, 5's on every hole (we should be getting 3's or lower so that's very bad).

So, to try and improve our game coach decided to bribe us. He said that if all 6 of us got a total score 20 or under he'd buy us all frostys from Wendy's.

Not even a fucking frosty could save our game.

So then coach changed it up. If we get 20 or under we get frostys. But if we get over WE have to buy HIM Chipotle.

We kept on getting 20's then.

But we had lots of fun, we were screaming and jumping up and down and everything. =p

Hurried up and got ready for the football game. Ryan picked me up after Andeth and then we got Jackie and headed to Apple Bee's! Food was very yummy. =)

Got to the game and had tons of fun with everyone. Larry even came back too (he had moved)!

Played a prank on Caramel and then left towards the end of the 4th quarter; this time with Ryan's little brother Eric as well (he's in 8th grade and funny as hell =p).

Went to Giant Eagle to see if they had any doughnuts left. While walking in Jackie and I spotted this little kid in a shopping cart.

Upon this discovery we completely ditched the guys and ran over to ask the little kid's Dad if we could hug him because he was the most adorable thing we'd ever seen!

His name was Evan, and he was 15 months old!

=)

Ended up going to Wal Mart for doughnuts and ate them at Jackie's house.

Cleaned my room a bit when I got home and then got my stuff ready for Valley Voyages.

6:30 rolled around and in my fear of being late to the school I cut the 20 minute driving time there in half.

Kayaking was very fun! My arms feel great too. =p

I'm really sure everyone had lots of fun because I know I sure did.

Still, nothing can beat this VV trip.

Ah, seagulls. =p

Day Off

Ah, today was a lovely day off (and we still have one more to go!). =D

In the end Jackie, Ryan, Andeth and I all got together and had a picnic in the park!

Then after that we headed to my place for dinner (yes I know, after we just ate basically =p).

Everyone enjoyed the food (I hope) and seems to have a good time.

We played Nazi Zombies and Jackie and I huddled in a ball next to Andeth because of how high it is on the creepy scale. After that we watched "Without A Paddle", one of Ryan's favorite movies. =)

Spent at good hour and a half just laying around talking and getting fat off of my mom's chocolate chip cookies before it was time for everyone to leave. =p

Golf practice at 3 tomorrow. =)

Love List

Sooooo, "Love List" huh? Lez dew eeeet!

I Love...

1) My Imagination
My mind is never still- which is probably why it used to take me a long time to fall asleep quickly. I was always just just thinking and imagining the most random things, situations and stories in my head. Now I have them under control a little bit...

Sure in hell helps me at school. =p

2) My Sarcasm and Sense of Humor
It seems to always keep that type of comedic spark going in my life and hell, if you're able to laugh at one thing or group of people you should be able to laugh at them all. It also helps on those rough days. I especially love cheering my friends up with it. =)

3) My Music Tastes
There really isn't any type of music that I've found I completely hate yet. It annoys me when others refuse to listen to something because it's too "slow" or it's "country". I love that I have a lot of variety.

4) My Eyes
I love the color. Green with little flexes of brown is what they are and when I wear the right outfit everyone seems to notice them too. =)

5) My Body
At least most of it. Especially when I get time to work out regularly. Abs=love!

6) My Goofiness
I'll do just about anything to get a good laugh out of people. Plus, it's just no fun being serious and practical all the time!

7) My Ability to Stumble Upon Strange Happenings
I've seen and had many weird things happen to me in my life so far. But what I also love is the fact that just for my own humor I'll find the most ridiculously positive sides of it all.

8) My Height
Tall enough to look down at the freshman, yet small enough to beast you at hide and seek. And what the hey, good things come in little packages!

9) My Boldness
Yes, I do color outside of the lines. What now bitch?

10) My Strength
Not so much physically, but mentally. At least I think I'm pretty strong minded. I've been through quite a lot in my life, especially when I was young. I've had to play many roles in my life to keep everything stable, and once I stumbled a bit. As much as I still want to do it again, I know I can't. That in itself is a big battle for me because I know that if I do (as dramatic as this may sound) everything, and I mean everything would be extremely royally fucked in my life in every aspect possible.

This is why I'm going to add a bonus to this "Love List":

11) My Friends and Family
No matter what has happened you guys (and you know who you are) have been with me through this and thin. Through everything, at least one of you has been there for me. Thick and thin, big and small. Even if you don't feel like you're there for me, even if you're only able to say "I'm sorry" or "I hope it get's better" that's help enough for me, because I know that no matter what you wish there was something more you could do.

I'd be happy to give everything good I have to all of you in exchange for anything bad or evil in your lives. In the end I know all I really live for in life is to see all of you happy.

How's that for fortune cookie sounding Jackie? =p

Rayy I'll have your To-Do list you requested soon too!

ily.

Ash and Jay Day! (Plus Love List)

Cyrus came over for a bit to visit, other than that JJ and I spent the whole day together! =D

First we danced crazily to the ring tones on our celly's because we were bored and then I decided that we were going to go to the park so I can try and get some pictures for my photo class.

In the end I didn't but we drove around that then ended up at Network Video and bought Sweeny Todd! =)

Had dinner at Panini's and then visited with Jackie, Anthony, Double D, and his wife (who's name I never caught =x) for awhile.

After heading to Giant Eagle to get Mom some things for dinner tomorrow, watched the movie, and then headed to bed.

All in all, it was a pretty good day. =)

Also, I'm going to break another promise and have to try and do Jackie's assignment tomorrow.

It's 2 in the morning and I've come up with 6 out of 10 things in the last 3 hours. I will not post it up until it's finished.

Beep beep! Hoot hoot!

So I got my license yesterday!

On the way there I freaked out at my Mom for starting a cigarette in the car and I threw it out the window.

She wasn't exactly happy about that... =p

When we got there I parked and went inside. The lady at the desk asked me for my temps. and license plate number (which I know, hahaha!) and then she asked me where the car was parked.

So what do I answer?

"Oh, um, in the parking lot." *points*
"Well yeah, I kind of figured that..."

Guess I was still a little nervous/excited. =p

After the chaos of getting JJ out of the car and racing around to the front the driver lady checked the car to make sure it was legal to be on the road, and then got in and I was off to do my maneuverability.

She told me to go on the right side, and I did and then that was it. This whole time I thought you had to go through both sides. =p

The actual driving portion was simple. Despite the road being small, with no edge or center lines, and 25mph I did great! =D

Failed at trying to make a little humors small talk with the instructor. She was like my Dad's GPS (which we call Lola) the way she gave me directions. =p

After that I parked, passed and went in to get my license.

As we were leaving JJ very loudly stated that I was the shortest person in the whole room....

....

Everybody looked down to see.

Blah. =p

Mom wanted to take me to Red Lobster to celebrate, I didn't want to go but she was all excited so in the end we went and came home with a ton of left over food.

Drove over to Andeth's house to drop off the cones for him to practice with and then headed on over to the Twist and Shake to see Jackie and Sandy.

It was weird driving alone. Although I've done it a lot before I guess I felt a little....safer? I guess since I was legal and all.

Retrieved some banana's for them so they could continue making their Sunday's and then I was off for home to study and do homework.

In the middle of it JJ calls me and tells me to come downstairs and on the deck. So I do and I find my Dad out there making this weird noise over and over again.

Why?

There were screech owls (at least that's what he said what they were) in the trees in our backyard and every time he called out to them, they called back.

Thus, my Dad can speak bird.

Had a 'panic attack' around 3 in the morning because I couldn't find Melvin before going to sleep. =p

School was...bleh.

Math class was so boring that I fell so asleep I had some weird dream.

That class tires me out the whole day because it's so uninteresting... *sigh*

English was alright today.

For photo Mr. Naujoks wants us to take 25 pictures or more over the weekend. I'm actually gonna put some of the one's I've taken in the past that I really love too along with more current ones. =p

Here's one that's really cute:



My dog Shannon is on the left and that little guy on the right is (what JJ and I dubbed as) Little Peanut Butter!

I love how Shannon is all like "What the fuck is this thing?? DEFENSE MODE!" and Peanut Butter is all like "Oooooh, biiiiig doggie!"

At least that's how I interpenetrated it...

I miss him. ^-^

For once I picked up Ryan and drove him to the Twist and Shake. I also got Jackie a pizza. =)

Watched part of Cloverfield before JJ wanted to stop and go upstairs.

I figured I'd take the time to go blog. =)

Jackie, I'll do your 'assignment' tomorrow! Promise!

ily.

This Whole 'School Thing'

Is seriously cutting into my blogging time.

For now I will give you in one sentence the events of today:

I got my license and my Dad spoke bird.

Yes.

Things that make ya go "Hmmmmmmm..."

More details tomorrow! =D

After Staying Up (Way) Late...

I finished all the homework that would have been assigned tonight last night, got through the school day, did well at practice, and practiced some more driving.

All in time to play Nazi Zombies (a.k.a Call of Duty: World At War) with JJ.

And let me tell you.

That game?

Fucking. Creepy.

Fuck School, Golf, and Driving. I'd Rather Be Stupid, Unskilled, and Have No License.

My brother texted me 5 minutes ago saying "Hey Ashley, we should play natzi zombies tomorrow and can I have a hug?"

I could give him the hug, but I told him I had a lot of stuff to do tomorrow.

I've been telling him I have "a lot of stuff to do tomorrow" for a while now.

I can't deal with saying "I'm too busy for you right now" to my own brother anymore.

Today's Weather

Called for toe socks.

Today was basically pretty low key and boring.

JJ, Dad, and I watched Race To Witch Mountain and then I pretty much went upstairs to finish my homework.

Dad and I did venture out to Wal Mart to go get the rest of the school supplies I needed, but that's about it.

Been trying to think up details for a script I wanna write. Can't seem to come up with anything solid yet though. =/

Golf match tomorrow!

I'm bringing Honey Buns!! =D

Sumtiems Ie Maek Mitakes

Like not looking at the title of the post and making sure all the letters are there.

FASHION.

....

Almost caught my house on fire around 1 in the morning last night.

Mhm.

I threw my jacket behind me too hard and instead of landing on the bed it landed on the lamp on my desk. The lamp already heats whatever metal on it up, so naturally when it was covered with my jacket it started to smoke.

I think I was freaking out more about it being ruined than the house catching on fire though. =x

Early this afternoon today my Dad taught me how to use his Scag mower and I got to cut the whole yard with it. =D

Then we went out and played Shale Creek golf course and lemme tell ya, this place was pretty high tech.

They had GPS on the golf carts, and they told you how far you were from the whole, how far you dove the ball, the wind speed etc.

It was very O.o

After that we went to Reddie's pizza and had some awesome garlic/cheese twists and a meat lovers pizza (minus the ham).

Watched Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island with JJ. That movie will never get old I'm telling you. =)

Painted my Mommy's toe nails, worked out, and then Ryan came and dropped off the cones so I can practice maneuverability for my drivers test on Thursday.

=D

Played a little pool with my Dad in the basement and now I'm here again. =)

Fasion Fail

So each night before I go to sleep, I normally lay out what I'm going to wear the next day so I get more time to sleep in and all that.

Well, I wanted to wear my black skirt with my heels, which looked nice, but there was only one problem, I needed a shirt that fit.

I mean, yeah I'm sure some people wouldn't mind if I went topless to school, but it's pretty damn cold in there.

=p

But I digress.

So, ten minutes went by, then 15, then 20 and finally 45 minutes later I still didn't find a shirt and I ended up not wearing the skirt and heels.

Yes, I know, wow.

School today was normal, nothing too fun happened that I can remember...

Per usual Spanish, English, and Govt. were fun. =)

After school I talked with Mr. OB for a bit before heading off to practice.

Coach brought his little son Aidan again!! He was adorable as always and the whole team was drooling all over him. =p

Coach's wife was there too with his other little girls and she also brought cupcakes!

=D

Got home around 5 and decided that I wanted to rest my eyes for 5 minutes. Instead, those 5 minutes turned into about 2 hours and I was so out of it when Jackie called me and woke me up I thought is was Saturday.

Ryan, Jackie, Rayy, and myself all decided to go to Apple Bees and hang tonight. In the end we had to go to Pizza Hut because, since they're a bar, they stop serving minor after 9. Which I guess is alright because Winking Lizard stops serving people who are 21 and younger after 5.

Danzeah apparently started working there today and was just getting off shift so he sat and talked with us. =)

All in all, it was fun, fun, fun!

Tomorrow, so far, my exciting day consists of...

-Cutting the grass
-Golfing and pizza with my Dad (yes, more pizza =p)

=D

P.S

It's Michel Jackson's burday today (thanks for telling me Google!).

Short Bloggy Post

School was normal, soon becoming that same old song and dance.

Can't wait until Friday comes around!

Need to carry my golf bag onto the bus again, not looking forward to the though... =/

Got home and finished my Spanish homework before playing Mario Kart on the Wii. We kicked Wifi ass!

=D

Now all I have to do is work out (yes, at 9:30 at night) and pack up for school tomorrow!

First Day of School

And I already have homework.

I mean, yes, I did expect that, but it still makes me go "Fuuuuuuck." every time- or for those with a cleaner mouth, heave a heavy sigh.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, lets go back to the morning where I should have started out my post saying:

My bus driver got her license from a fucking cereal box.

I mean she literally drives like Rice Krispies.

Ya know Snap, Crackle, Pop? Well it's stop, hit the gas, stop.

Chiropractor's would love this woman with all the paying customers she'd get them.

And the type of bus she drives was definitely not built for a person that needs to bring her golf clubs on it.

And of course the day I need to go to the office she drops us off at the very front end of the school instead of right in front of the doors! =D

Then 1st period came around (or more, hit me in the face as soon as I dropped off my golf bag).

So far though, the teachers I'm really liking so far are (in order by class) Edler, Beery, King, and Naujoks.

However, I think I already fucked up those good ole brownie points for Mr. King due to the fact that because I've been running on the 4 hours of sleep, and because I've acquired over the last 3 days, I tend to forget my shit everywhere.

Including that Government book which I had for all of, lets say 40 minutes.

So I had to ask him for another one which was completely fucking embarrassing because I knew he knew that I had been in his class all of 1 period prior to me losing it.

Although I'm thinking it's in Mr. J's room.

Did I mention I almost left my folder and little notebook there too?

Yeah.

Did better than I thought in golf today. Even got a birdie (but I did forget my sand wedge on the 15th green).

>.<

It's now 12:03. I think tonight I'm gonna tell my brother to shove his foot up his ass, take an extra pain pill, and bare it.

Mom's actually not really sick tonight, so he better not wake her up either.

Good night world! See you in 6 hours.

Holy Milk and Cows

I have not blogged in what has felt like years.

I haven't even kept myself updated on other blogs!

Yes I know, shame on me.

So what's been up...

Golfing almost everyday. Our team is doing well though, better than what many expected.

School is coming up...as in like, Wednesday.

I've been struggling to finish all my homework that they've given us on our summer "vacation."

Sunday I took a break and went over to Jackie's house to hang with her, Ryan and Andeth. We climbed on her roof (at least Ryan and I did) and then went to Wendy's to get some yummies! =D

When I got home I realized that I left my Spanish homework in Ryan's car and today I went and got it as his house on my way to the Valley Voyages meeting with Rayy. Since we were early I brought the homework inside to work on a tad. After the meeting we dropped Rayy off and Mommy and I went to Marcs to go shopping.

And this is when the story of the day happened.

So my Mom carries in a bunch of magazines she brought out of the car as I go in the back to get my purse and clipboard (which my Spanish homework is on).

But guess what?

No clipboard.

I started crying and beating myself up over leaving it at school (because hey, where the hell else would it be?). Mom comes back into the gagrage and starts to freak out and I proceeded to tell her that I was a dumb ass because I keep leaving my clipboard all over god's green acher.

To try and cheer me up she says we can go back and get it so I drive all the way back to the school with her and go inside and ask Mr. J if he saw a clipboard. And you know what he tells me?

"You left with a clipboard."

So I go back to the car and tell my Mom that he says I left with my clipboard and she goes "Wait, clipboard? I thought you said your Spanish notes! I brought your clipboard inside for you."

...

So my Spanish notes on my CLIPBOARD was sitting on the kitchen counter the whole time.

I believe the lesson in this is: comminucation, comminication, comminucatoin.

At least I didn't forget them again so I felt better. =p

Almost finished with my summer reading stuff and then if I'm up to it I'll finish my Spanish.

Golf practice tomorrow amoungst many other things.

Then...to set my alarm clock for school.

O.o

I feel weird just typing that....

Also, if you want I'm rewriting the rules of the contest. As in, there are no rules. Just make one sentence with all the words (including your own) in the comments section.

Great thanks for N and all her effort. =)

Monday, August 10, 2009

Now

Now, I want each and every one of you to take all the words (including your own) that people posted in the comments section and combine them into one sentence!

-You may change their tenses
-You may use conjunctions
-You may use 3 other words that aren't there and aren't conjunctions
-You must use every single word

When all of your sentences are posted I will then pick the most creative and humorous one and feature you on my blog! =)

Then I will post my sentence that I just created. =D

Good luck!

I Need Your Help

I need each and every one of my followers to think of three random words off the top of their head.

It can't be what someone else has already put in the comments before you and humor is very much appreciated.

=)

This will all make sense very soon.

P.S.
This is what develops after a little boredom =p

Return Of The Grump

Today I woke up earlier than I normally did and attempted to do the Spanish 1 packet. In the end, I didn't do much of it at all. Not even a whole page.

Dad brought me home some Wendy's (who is now following me on twitter! =D) and then left again and I ate it and watched Twilight Zone on Syfy.

When it started raining really hard here I rushed upstairs to get on a pair of old jeans and a hoodie and walked around outside in my backyard. Then I found some ankle deep puddles and jumped around in them!

I bet my neighbors thought I was nuts. =p

Went inside and took a quick shower before going on my laptop a little more and then started to make some dinner for myself and Dad when he got home. I made burgers and a hot dog. =)

And no, I didn't catch on fire this time. =p

Daddy said it was good too!

After that JJ came home and I signed his cast and when he fell asleep, put a Hello Kitty band aid on it.

When Jackie comes over we're gonna paint his toe nails when he falls asleep for my revenge because he yelled at me when I signed his cast and said "Don't write so big there's a lot better people that need to sign it."

I think we're gonna color his cast too.

Took a small nap then hung out at the Twist and Shake for a bit because I needed to get away.

Now I'm here watching JJ while he eats his chocolate ice cream I brought home (thanks to Anthony!) =)

Tomorrow I gotta cut the grass (if it stops raining) and Dad's gonna teach me how to use the new tractor.

Apologies

For the fucked up looking blog post below. My arms hurt too much to fix it though.

3 Long Days

Sunday

Woke up early and was picked up by Denise (one of my Dad's customers) to go volunteer for the Richfield Sweet Corn Ride. We got there around 8 and helped set up the two picnic tables filled with boxes of cookies (Peanut butter, sugar, chocolate chip, and gingerbread almond), health bars, rice krispie treats and bananas.

After that all we had to do was wait. Jim (the main guy who was running our food station) was pretty busy throughout the morning maki
ng sure everything was perfect. His brother Brian was really funny and always making wise cracks. =p

Van was the oldest helper there and brought the huge tanks of water. He was funny like Brian too. =)

Before the bikers showed up Donna and Dianna then came.

Best part?

They were twins.

So awesome. =p

For the duration of the time everyone made sure the bikers were fed and make wise cracks to each other. =p

Everyone thought it was extremely funny when I said "I wonder if I yelled "It's raining!" how many people would look up..." Personally I didn't think it was that funny but hey. =p

In the middle of the food giving we got a bunch of crates of these really big green grapes which apparently were extremely tasty because the bikers would eat one, shove their face, then proceed to grab more and tell us how awesome they were.


When we were cleaning up I made a bunch of funny comments (e.g. telling Brian that his side of the table was too low to the ground while we were moving it back under the pavilion =p) and Jim asked if I wanted to be a comedian when I grew up because comedy seemed to come so naturally to me. =)

I do love comedy. =D

Mitch Hedberg and Robin Williams = comedy love. <3 href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWCAf-xLV2k">Silence of the Lambs. =)

Monday

Woke up early for my golf tournament. Was very nervous so Dad watched me hit some golf balls to help loosen me up and stayed before I teed off. This one girl and I were neck and neck
the whole first 9. I beat her by one stroke. =D

The back 9 I fucked up a bit on though, which cost me. Either way, I shot a 98 and grabbed 2nd place! =D

Came home and fell asleep for a few hours and watched CSI with Mommy while I iced my left arm because it was hurting so badly.

Tuesday (Today)

Got up and went with Dad in his car to the hospital because JJ was getting surgery today.

Don't worry it was nothing too major, just foot surgery. Because of his flat feet and the way he walks the heel in his foot is completely turned and his ankle is also turning. What they did was go in and stretch the tendons out in his leg and then correct the bone and everything.

Before he was going into surgery I went with him to get his IV in and then Mommy went into the OR room until he fell asleep.

Grammy, Uncle Scott also came to wish him well.

While he was in surgery Dad and I went
to Golf Galaxy down the street and I tried out some new golf clubs (which fucked up my left arm even more) and in the end got to take a driver home to hit a few times.

Went home to let the pets out, and picked up some food for JJ and Mom before we headed back to the hospital. JJ had just gotten out of surgery a half hour after we arrived and they were trying to control his pain levels.

I gave him one of my Hello Kitty band aids. I think it helped. =)

When we got up to his room I wrote a message on the while board for him to read when he missed me. Then Dad and I looked up at the big light that had a Hightlights Hidden Pictures thing on it and found everything but the little bell.

JJ helped me find it though. =D

We ate our subs and talked to the nice nurses. Jj even asked if she wanted a chip! It was so funny and nice. =) He would always say thank you whenever they would give him pain meds too. =p

When Dad and I left (Mommy is staying over night) I gave him an extra band aid just in case he needed it.

Dad and I talked out on the deck for awhile and now I'm here.

Probably going clean my room and organize the guest room a bit to keep myself occupied.

Also probably going to not blog for awhile because my arms hurt a ton now. =(

*sigh*

50 Years!!

Wow, long time no post, no?

I feel bad for the lack of posts, I just haven't been in the mood for much of anything lately. Been in a pretty big rut yet again.

But I'm back!

This morning I slept in until I couldn't any longer and took a shower, fuzzed over my hair and thought it looked horrible so took another quick shower, and then went frantic over what to wear to the reunion.

After that I decided to finally put some songs I downloaded onto Melvin (a.k.a IPod) so I can listen to them on the car ride. Well, turns out it decided it was the perfect time to freeze (I kept telling JJ that "My baby got a sudden case of summer hypothermia" =p).

Being with how frustrated I've been (at myself) for the last 2 1/2 weeks or so, I had finally had it and started bawling like a baby. Again.

I was mostly worried that Melvin wouldn't work again, I greatly depend on him.

(No. It is not odd that I treat my most fondest material possession like a person).

...

(And no. I don't tuck him in at night, try to feed him etc.).

But anywho, we got to the family reunion right on time (this year it was our 5oth!) and I filmed a few things and whatnot.

My cousin Todd and Olga came with their two kids (Todd is a directer/producer and his beautiful wife is a professional photographer). Ethan is 2 or 3 and Julian is 7 weeks old! Both are adorable!

There was a small water balloon toss, and a silly string battle! Grammy danced and sang while the small 3-person band played. Food was good too. The cake even had a picture of one of the older family reunions! It was really good too! =)

When Todd and Olga left to go to Todd's high school reunion somewhere he left his kids with us. I watched little Ethan and we had a great time! When ever I would ask him for the volleyball he would go "No!" and then look at me, throw it, point and go "Look! it get awey der!" and then race me to get it and land on top of it. =p

Then when I gave him a cookie and asked him for a small piece he gave me this little minuscule of a crumb and stuck it in my mouth! xD

Everybody said we looked cute together and that I'm really good with kids. Which makes me think that maybe I'll major in early childhood development/education and then minor in filming.

Tomorrow I'll be getting up early to volunteer with Denise (a lady in the office building down from my Dad's) at the Richfield Sweet Corn Ride. I'm not gonna be in it, but I'll be making sure drinks are cold and the food is warm and ready!

Then hopefully I can get out to golf with my Dad to prepare for my tournament on Monday.

Fun, fun!

Found It!

Dad and I went to The Range today and after 2 large buckets of balls I got my swing back!

I went back in to thank the guy because he didn't charge me for upgrading the size (since Nordonia bought a bunch of medium buckets).

Well, my Dad has always taught me to shake hands with people, especially one's that are older and I know on a more professional like level.

Well, this was the guy I went and asked for a job from, so as we were saying our good-byes I held out my hand and he kinda looked at it for a moment so I kinda just grabbed his from his side and shook it. Then we looked at each other kind of awkwardly for a few seconds before I left.

In the end I thought it was hilarious. =p

Cyrus came over around 8 and we went to the Twist and Shake to hang with Jackie, Sandy, and Anthony.

Lot's of fun there. =)

Then we went back to my place to finish Wal-E. =)

Now I'll be talking to Jackie and script writing! =D

MISSING

My golf swing. Last seen at the driving range.

Not heard of again since the golf course.

*headdesk*

Shitty round. But Dad and Mr. Grayson were placing bets and doing funny shit to distract each other from the game, so it wasn't all that bad. =p

I also golfed in a pair of my brothers old long kaki pants since I don't have any of my own. They barley fit me. =p

When Dad and him stopped at the Quick Check to go get some beer I asked him if I could drive on the way home, but he said no.

So I crawled up into the driver seat anyways. =D

The old lady parked in her car next to use started laughing when my Dad came out to see I was at the wheel. =p

As I was eating my homemade pizza sandwich my brother came in the house saying that there was a brown dog in the backyard. After 4 yards we finally caught it and literally had to drag it across the street (which is where JJ said it belonged) because it didn't want to walk anymore.

Buuut, as it turns out, it wasn't the right house! Apparently the dog was Zack, the one that lives at Nutboy's house (where the horses are) which was back on our side of the street one house down.

So then we had to take the dog all the way that way and finally Nutboy's tenants put him back in his cage yard.

Did I mention I walked all around in my cow socks? o.o

That was very brave of me. I mean, what if they got a hole in them?! Not only would they be ruined but I could have gotten (what I like to say) toe-lee-o and have to get a tetris shot!

Speaking of which, am I the only one who thought it was a 'tetris shot' instead of a 'tetanus shot' for a few years? I swear that's what people would say...

Don't laugh at me.

=p

Thought of another script to write, and I just finished writing the first scene with my new software!

I'm most likely going to be putting off the mall video...but only until I think of how to put all the footage together in my head! So no worries!

I already have the first 30 seconds done!! =D

That's about it for now!

Mall Day

So Ryan, Jackie, Rayy, Andeth, and I all went malling yesterday (Andeth was squirted with a squirt gun because he messed up the plan due to miscommunication =p).

As soon as we got there we looked at all the animals in the pet store. They had the normal dogs and cats, but they also had a piggy and a Lemur!

For lunch Ryan, Andeth and I went to McDonalds while Jackie and Rayy went to Penera because we're cool and unhealthy like that.

Our first store was Areo, and then we hit a really good one called Forever 21. The prices and their clothes were awesome! In the changing room us gals tried stuff on we weren't even going to buy just so we could see ourselves in them. =p

Went to another store whose name escapes me...

All I remember is that we got some cute undies and Jackie and I each bought a pair of mega awesome boots. =p

We met up with the guys back in the bookstore and found "How To Fight A Zombie" and "120some Things That White People Like."

In Spencer's we read all the dirty cards before moving onto Payless so I could by my all star converse shoes!

And of course, how can a group of friends go to the mall and not cram into a photo booth like clowns to get their pictures taken?!

Our very last stop was the movie store so I could buy some (since I have this thing were I want to be a person with a shit load of DVDs when I'm older =p) and got The Messengers, Flightplan, Accepted, and The Invisible.

When we got back to my house my Mommy had her famous spaghetti and meatballs made and a chocolate cake!!

Both were very yummy. =)

Watched The Messengers and then everybody left for home.

Today I watched Accepted with my little brother and then Mom, Dad, Grammy, and I went to Danny Boy's Pizza.

It's the best.

=)

Now I'll be editing our Mall Day video and maybe even working on a new script idea I have with my newly downloaded writing software!

=D

Bloggy Make-Over?

Hmmm...

I've been thinkin about having a blog make-over. How major I don't know, although I'm hoping to keep the title "Laughing Under The Sun."

However I'm failing to find another template (preferably 3 column) with a sun. =/

There are some nice one's with flowers and such, so maybe I could use a sunflower one as well.

Also thinking about what I should record for the first time on my video camera...

I think I'm going to hide in my brothers closet and then pop out and scare the crap out of him... =)

I've also been thinking about new and cool ways to blog... like how Rayy did with her paint and Jackie with the notebook. =D

New Harry Potter movie is coming out tomorrow! It looks pretty good!

Mall Thursday, golf with Dad Saturday and then Sunday Cyrus will be coming over.

That's about all for today!

Burday!


Mine!!

On the day before my burday I was just lying in bed and starring out the window as the storm was rolling in. Then all of a sudden a flash of lightning and the power goes out.

It was out the whole day and even for my party.

But it's not like that mattered. =p

Sami, Jackie, Ryan, Rayy, Dev, and Jess all came and we grilled out with burgers and hot dogs before devouring my cookie cake!

After a while of just talking we headed back to the fire pit. Of course we all huddled up on the same blanket despite all the chairs. =p

Andeth came later too! =D

Around 11 the power finally came back on and we started watching the movie The Uninvited that Jessica had gotten me. =)

In the end Ryan, Andeth, and Jackie stayed and watched the whole thing. Jackie slept over too! =D

The next day we took her to work and then Dad and I went to Best Buy to look at video cameras. and after that I 12 mile bike ride. =)

Grammy came over to eat dinner with us and we had schicabobs that my Mom made (which were excellent and juicy by the way).

Left and hung out at the Twist and Shake with Ryan, Jackie, Anthony and Sandy. =)

Today I went and hit golf balls with my coach and his little son Adin. He's 3 1/2 and adorable! And loves Nike golfs balls. =p

Grabbed a sandwich back at the house and it was off to me league to play a shitty round of golf.

My Aunt DB came over to give me my present and then Dad and I went to get my...

VIDEO CAMERA!!

It's red and I love it so much. The editing software even had lame dramatic background music for you while you installed! xD

It was so worth it. =p

Now all I have to do is find something epic to record for the first time I'll use it!

=D

Thank you all!

Sleep Walking

So I'm on the other bed in my bros room and he suddenly just pops out of bed and starts walking around.

Apparently he's sleep walking.

Well he then decided to go out into the hall, trip over the laundry basket, look around, mumble gibberish, get back up, and then walk back into his room and into his bed.

........


I laughed so hard.

Mini Vay-Cay

So Monday morning my Dad, brother, his friend Andy, and I woke up in the morning to put our bags in the car and head out to Huron Ohio!

It was a pretty quite trips because his CD played decided not to work, so poor old Jimmy Buffet was silent. =(

The cottage was nice, I got my own bedroom. =)

After we got all our stuff settled we headed out right to Cedar Point's water park and went down all the slides twice!

Our favorite was the huge 6 person inner tube slide. =D

Hopped onto the Jet Express to go to Put-In-Bay!

There we rented a golf cart and drove around the Island.

We checked out the air strip they had and waited to see if a plain would land but sadly we weren't that lucky. =(

After that we took the elevator up to the top of Perry's Monument and I saw Canada! And no, we're not lazy to take the elevator, they don't allow people anymore because people kept collapsing...

Stopped and walked around this really cool cemetery and then that was the last we did on the island other than check out some home the were for sale or rent.

I think it would be awesome to live on the island, maybe someday I'll save up to buy a house on it. =)

Went to a place called Crabby Joe's for a late dinner then headed back to the cottage to go to sleep and be up and ready for the coasters the next day.

In the morning Dad made a mistake by taking us to a place called LEMmy's and we ate a big breakfast- not something you want to do if you're going on coaster in a half hour.

But the food was really good. =)

The first ride JJ, Andy, and I tackled (Dad didn't go on because he didn't want to puke) was the Raptor and then next the three of us hit the Blue Streak.

Dad felt a little better after waiting awhile and we all went onto the Mantis.

Andy and JJ went in line for the Millennium Force but I didn't go on because I was also getting sick and Dad didn't want to because he'd been on the the ride enough in his life. =p

While waiting we saw about 5 people get booted out of line because they were too fat to sit in the seat, and therefore, weren't allowed on the coaster. Kind of sad...

Got in line for the Top Thrill Dragster!! While we were waiting we noticed a wife and her husband standing in line, except the husband could barely stand. At first we thought he had brain damage or something. Then he took off his shades and you could tell by his eyes he was shit faced.

Security came and took him out of the line and the people behind him were line "YEESS, dude, that guy could have totally puked on us." =p

I sat with Dad and he closed his eyes the whole time. I however kept my eye's opened and hands in the air. And yes, I've got proof! I'll show you all the picture!! =D

I was sad though that the Dragster didn't do this:



It's like, two rides for the price of waiting an hour and a half in line for one! =p

Went on the Magnum and then the Gemini before going to Chick-Fil-A for lunch.

Won a orange fuzzy monkey at the guessing game! The woman said I looked like I weighed 120 pounds. =p

I named the monkey Oswald!! xD

After that JJ and Andy went on the Wicked Twister while I napped a bit on a bench and waited for them to get off.

Got home and went to sleep then got up to find JJ, Andy and Dad went back to Cedar Point so Dad could ride the raptor and them the Maverick...

My arm was hurting to much anyways to go on anymore rides to I watched National Treasure and Warehouse 13.

Today I relaxed and fell asleep while reading more of Wuthering Heights. Mom made her famous spaghetti sauce and meatballs (which are better then yours) and it was delicious.

Played soccer with Greta next door then went in a got the PS2 going to play some Sims.

Now I'm going to go downstairs, grab a Dark Chocolate Klondike Bar and watch TV with Mommy!

=D
