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:
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.
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 making 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. =(
Didn't carry anything accept a pencil, calculator, my celly and Melvin.
Sat on the floor in the lunch room while waiting for the Auditorium doors to open. Cyrus came over and I asked if he could baby sit Melvin for me for the day and then take him home.
I appreciated it, but I slightly regret it, because I was very board on the bus ride. At least he wouldn't have been stolen...
For those who forget Melvin is my IPod.
=p
First ride we went on was the Wicked Twister, for my first adrenalin rush in a while it felt pretty good. =)
Went on the Matterhorn next, since it was required on the packet. It sucked. Very boring and short. =/
Spent waaaay too much time doing our packets... Ryan, Halle and I had our info done but everyone else didn't...
After snacking on some fries and toasting in the sun Halle and I went on the Mantis. I think it was my favorite ride there. =)
I wished we could have gone on more rides...but we wasted too much time on packets...
*sigh*
As Andy was trying to get to the Maverick I saw a Chick-fil-A, which I'd been having a huge craving for since last Monday, so I was in heaven. =p
Tried to win a giant stuffed gorilla. It was bigger than me! I swear!
I didn't win it though... =(
Got to the buses around 5:05ish.
45 minutes later we finally left thanks to a group of three girls that decided it was okay to dawdle and lose track of time...
Bus ride home was better than on the way back though. Did silly stuff to ease the boredom.
Have to get an EMG tomorrow, kinda scared, my Mommy is taking me so she'll be there which is good at least.
Legs ache, time for bed.
How cool would it be to live in an amusement park (and not have to pay for anything)?
So I wasn't at school Friday, woke up at 6:30, and Dad drove me to the docs. Apparently this guy is supposed to be the best, at least that's why my Dad's orthopedic surgeon said. He was completely booked most of the time too, so I guess it could be true.
Anyhow, so we get to the docs, and my Dad is filling out the papers, which of course he needs help on. It had some pretty weird questions on it too. For example...
What did you child first:
Talk ___
Sit ___
Roll Over ___
It was like Christ, what do they am I, a dog?
And then we got down to the women only questions and my day refused to say the words menstrual cycle or period.
It was fucking hilarious. =p
"What did you start having your....mahavaha....?"
And then he would start lookin around all embarrassed like.
xD
Once the paper work was through we finally get into see the doc, Dr. Anderson. He makes me do a bunch of things with my arms, asks me where I feel the pain, where I got a shot, so on and so forth, and then the final desicion came:
I don't have carpal tunnel.
I have something else.
Well shit.
Where I'm feeling pain aside from my wrist and the bottom area of my lower arm, I'm feeling it also at the top area of my lower arm, in my elbow and in my pinky, ring, and middle finger. And to the degree my fingers have gone numb, they've curled up at least 3 times.
Which isn't carpal tunnel.
He tried to do a bit of debumnking, and in the end, decided I needed an EMG, which stands for Enter text here.Electromyography.
What they do is they put special suction cup things on your arm, and with a machine, shoot electric current through the nerves in your arm. The machine records how long it takes for the signal in the nerve to travel to the brain where it can register the pain. If it's slower, there is something wrong.
They also sick a very fine needle in your hand...and you know how I love needles...
Capital Y to the u-c-k.
Got home from the docs, and then drove Dad down to the canal so he could go on a bike ride and then drove home...alone.
It was so awesome.
I got to drive alone back to pick him up as well!
Took a 3 hour nap before waking up and rushing to get ready before my Uncle, Grammy, Grandma and Grandpa Costello, and Cyrus and his parent's came.
We took ton's of pictures, which I've just decided to put in another post, titled Prom 2009.
After pics we left and drove to Cleveland. The Renaissance was absolutely beautiful! Saw Mr. J and his wife, along with Mr. King, Mr. Mayer and a bunch of all teachers all snazzied up.
=)
Also saw Rebeca and Gina from golf and their boyfriends.
It was nice.
We sat with Tom, Mike, both of their girlfriends, and Jeff.
I had chicken for dinner, but hardly ate any. The sinus sickness I had been trying to fight off since Thursday just wasn't backing off.
=/
Had a lot of fun, dance a bit. Poor Ben Chaffee was really said because his girlfriend kept telling him to dance with us. =(
Left the dance, and went to Fun N' Stuff.
We had fun and stuff.
Aren't I funny?
=p
Got home at 4 AM, took a quick shower and fell right to sleep with the TY Pluffies monkey Cyrus got me. His name is Dangles. =)
Woke up around 10ish and decided to go back to sleep and then woke up at 1:47.
Mom says she's going to take me to the docs maybe Monday, I might be having my anual sinus infection. ><
After a complication with Cyrus in a 2 hour phone conversation he drove over so we could talk and settle some things.
Went to Giant Eagle and got Jeff a burday cake, we had the guy write "Grandmaster Jeff" on it. I also picked him out a nice Spiderman card. It had COOL STICKERS in it. At least that's what the card claimed.
It was for 8 year olds, but I mean, Jeff was turning 18, we were just missin a 1. =p
Also got him a little balloon. =p
Went to Handles and bought him ice cream, and then dropped him off.
Cy dropped me off, and then Mommy and I went to get pizza.
Ate my pizza while watching the movie Holes with Jj like I promised him.
He missed me so much. =(
Now I must read Andy's blog and then upload pictures!
My Uncle Tot sill needs to send me the rest of them.
It is a hoodie that is about Andrew Bravener's video: My First Story Ever!
I shall bother my mother about ordering it tomorrow after my Dad and I visit Krispy Kreme. I'm going to get a doughnut right off the assembly line.
MELT IN YOUR MOUTH GOODNESS I TELL YOU, SO WORTH A DRIVE THROUGH A SNOW STORM TO AKRON.
...We so should have gone there for our Akron Industry VV trip...we could have learned...how production of baked goods has changed throughout history in the Valley.
=D
Smart, no?
Actually...we could there for history class! We learned about the assembly line! Sure it was with cars, but cars and doughnuts? Not very different. And it could show how Ford's idea of the assembly line affected a variety of businesses!
Right, right?!
Right.
PE I brteayed my team in point break today and went on the 'dark side.' Hey, I felt bad for them, they had all the players that would just stand there with a blank look on their face going:
Yeah.
But in the end I betrayed the team that I joined to betray my original team and went back to the team who I originally betrayed before.
Hope that wasn't too confuzzling for you.
=p
D0000000000D
I saw something awesome today...
Two physics teachers were walking down the hall humming the Mario Theme song.
Seriously.
History class we got brownies!
Art we started painting.
A lot of people kept walking up to me today going "OMG YOU'RE WEARING CYRUS' JACKET!" and I was like "OMG NO I'M WEARING MY JACKET!"
=o
I had him try it on and it got stuck so we took a picture of it. =p
English class we watched Home Improvement!
Went home and called Mr.Downing again, he was busy so I gave him the house phone so he could call me back since mom was better.
She started feeling better around 3:30 and walked out into the family room where I was sitting.
She told me that I looked grumpy and to smile and I told her that it was 3:30 and I had school in like, 6 hours.
But she didn't care.
She told me that she would make me smile by showing me a magic trick.
Want to know what the trick is?
*poof* You're a pile of shit.
TA DA!
Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week. =)
Pizza night was tonight, ordered pizza and then waited for Mr. Downing to call back.
Cy called and said that he had his senior pictures and asked if he could bring them over so I could see them.
Right as he was coming up the driveway Mr. Downing called and I had my interview.
When he asked how to spell my name I almost spelled it A-S-H-L-E-T not A-S-H-L-E-Y.
Cy calls me that all the time, Ashlet.
I blame him.
=)
That's about it for my day.
Oh, and also, 2 more songs on the playlist, scroll down to the bottom of it to see!
