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

(((*BOOM*)))

The post title is supposed to be a fire work...

=D

So today I spent setting up for the party.

And playing Sims Bustin' out. I finally got my Sim to marry the person I wanted! Her wife's name is Alex. =)

Jackie, Ryan and Andeth came over early to help set up and then the party started!

Out of my little band of misfits Jackie, Ryan, Andeth (duh), Devlyn, Rayy, Sami, Bryan, Caramel, and Stash (A.K.A Mike Roberto) came.

We played badminton and Mike was hysterical, he really was the life of the party. Next we switched to volleyball and then it was time for the water balloon toss!

At first the balloons we were using wouldn't break so we switched them for a different kind that luckily did.

And we threw all the extra ones at my Dad of course. But he had my brother's friends help defend him, and had them fill up extra water balloons. So it was war!!

=p

The gang got some food and then we went and hung out in the Side Yard, which has been our hang out place for...two or three years now I think. Maybe even longer.

The guy a street down from us started shooting off his fireworks (the only time where the music at his house was turned down, he hired a DJ...) and then my Dad shot off his, another war.

We so won though. Got a bigger applause for my Dad's kick ass Grand Finale! =D

Found an empty bottle and went behind the barn and all played spin the bottle (we kissed each other on the cheeks people, nothing major, please keep your shirts on unless you have a 6 or 8 pack. =p).

When the guys landed on each other they blew each other kisses. Sadly they didn't kiss anyone on the cheek. I was quite disappointed.

After that burgers and hot dogs were served and then we helped clean up.

I suddenly got sick and ran to my bathroom where I puked 3 times. XP

I'm feeling a bit better now though the reason I'm up is because I'm still a little queasy.

Learned that my neighbor Mrs. Young's son is also into filming and directing and he got into this really great college and she said when he comes over her house to visit she'll call me to come over so we can talk about stuff!

=D

It's been my dream to make a really professional looking music video to My Chemical Romance's song Sleep.

It would involve an engaged couple where the husband has been called out to war before their wedding. And there will be explosions...oh yes...there will be many...

Every time I listen to the song I can see it in my head like a movie. =p

Aren't I a lame-o?

Well, time for me to try and maybe get some sleep...maybe not.

I'm 10 chapters into Wuthering Heights. =D

I Am Growing Sleepless and You're Out of Lullabies

I've been very tired lately due to not being able to sleep during the night.

For a few weeks now I've been having fucked up nightmares and all I can remember is like distorted light, and an ominous while figure. Then, every time I wake up from the dreams I feel like I'm in danger and scared and out of the corner of my eye I think I see that damn white figure and I have to turn on my light.

I haven't been able to sleep with it out in weeks because I feel too scared. It almost seems like it'll keep the nightmares away.

Last night I had a horrible one involving my mother in the hospital. Her heat was racing and she was convulsing and I was next to her crying hysterically. It made me worry. =/

Other than the nightmares, life has been pretty good so far.

Been hanging out at the Twist and Shake, I really love it there. =)

Shot at 47 at golf today! Very excited!

After golf Mom, JJ, and myself went to Chick-fil-A and then we watched some Cold Case File together.

Attempted to read Wuthering Heights. and it's also terrible. I can't even understand the one character when he talks, it really is fucking ridiculous. In the end I think I'm going to read one of the required, then A Picture of Dorian Grey, and spark notes the rest.

Played some Sim's on my bothers new TV he got for his room. I haven't played it in years. =p

Now I'll be up half reading Wuthering Heights and half doing computer things. =)

ily.
