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!

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

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. =)

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!).

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!

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

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!

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

Happy Burday Andeth!!

The postie title is just for yooou!


-------------------------------------

So yesterday I went and got a new celly (the Voyager! I love the touch screen!) and one for my brother and then my Mommy dropped me off at Jackie's house so I can help her clean.

We washed windows, dusted, mopped, cleaned bathrooms etc.

Then we ate Mr. Chicken, made a picture on paint and played The Sims.

Then we headed back to my house and my Dad took JJ and us to West Branch to my Uncle Gary's boat!

We went inner-tubing! Jackie and I were successful of not flying off of the tube during my Dad's efforts to fling us off. =)

Then I tried to learn how to water ski for the first time.

I stopped after 3 failures of not being able to get up out of the water and ended up with my right foot and knee being bruised and sore because my left ski kept falling off. =/

After we got home we watched One Missed Call and House Bunny along with the special features on each disk and feel asleep around 1 or 2 in the morning.

Woke up around 11:30 then went up and made pancakes and sausage!

Went downstairs and watched Disturbia while making Andy burday cards then watched the storm before heading off.

When we got there the pizza guy pulled up behind us which was good because I was so hungry I was getting shaky (whoops). =p

We all spent an hour trying to pick out a movie and coming up with creative ways to choose one. =p

In the end we picked Transformers.

When we left Jackie started getting a little sick so we helped her to bed and now I'm up just in case she calls and needs something. =)

What's Shakin Bacon?

Haven't blogged in a while...I feel bad.

=x

Thursday was pretty eventful.

Found out that I scored Accelerated or Advanced on all my OGT's.

Finally met my in-cars instructor.

He's not a grumpy Canadian. I punch-buggied him as well. It was very LOL worthy. I scored 3's on everything too. =D

Cyrus graduated!!

Friday went over to Peaches and had a girls night. =)

Today I helped mulch at my Grandparents place. Then went and saw the movie Up with Ed, Tom and Kelsy at 4:10. Her mom then dropped me off at Wendy's and I got food then walked back to the theater where I bought my Terminator Salvation ticket and a soda and proceeded to sit in the theater and make a bet with Gerber that I'd be him there.

I won my dollar. =p

Then after it was safley in my wallet I told Devlyn, Jess H., Jess B, and Billy the story. =D

Both movies were excellent by the way! I highly advise you go see them.

Highly.

JJ is sleeping over at my Uncle Scott's house. Have no clue what I'll be doing tomorrow. Probably be seeing Cyrus. =)

Physics Day!

It was fun =)

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)?

Randomness.

This Post...

Is going to be hellishly long.

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.

The Dumbasses and the Deer

Went hiking in the park today. Surprisingly there weren't a lot of people out at all. You'd think it'd be packed given the sun was out today. =/

We walked along the creek bed, on the rocks. They had dozers down there for a few weeks, apparently changing the creek. They failed epically though, there were a ton of fallen trees by the bank, and more soon to fall.

I climbed on a bunch of them though, and it was really fun. Took a bunch of logs and made a bridge to cross the creek with for my Dad and myself.

After that I drove around in the park. A deer jumped out into the road and I stopped and I didn't hit the deer and no cars hit me when I slammed on the breaks (no one was behind me anyways).

I almost hit 3 people too. It would have been alright though my Dad and I decided, three less dumbasses in the world.

I'm going around a sharp turn and all of a sudden as I just come around the bend and WHAM people!

They looked at me like GAH and darted in different directions, most of which were NOT off of the road.

Thank goodness there were no cars behind me....

BUT HOW STUPID COULD YOU BE TO CROSS RIGHT AT THE END OF A SHARP TURN?!

-_-

By the end of the hour Dad felt around in his pockets and discovered he didn't have his wallet. I told him it was alright because I just remembered I left mine in my book bag, so we could keep each other company at the police station. =p

We never bring wallets or anything like that on hikes. I only bring my celly for emergencies.

Dad drove home just in case though.

Other than the dumbasses and the deer I did pretty damn good!

=D

It was so hard not to speed though...

I don't do well at speeds under 40...too slow. =/

Got home, and finished my history notes for the test.

Then had an excellent dinner of lemon peppered chicken and made chocolate chip cookies!

Mom and I had some apple pie to celebrate!

Mom and I agreed we should make more (but it's not because of the glass of booze or anything =p).

Took a shower and now I'm going to finish my movie Hannibal Rising.

It's pretty good. =)

OMG TODAY...

I drove home... =x

IT WAS SO SCARY!!!

o.o

First we went to the play to take the test, and mom couldn't find how to get into the parking lot, so I told her they're also testing the old people by doing this too. =p

Finally parked, and then went inside and I was really scared because we were seriously the only white people in there and everyone was staring at my mom and I like they were going to kill us...

Went up to the desk and the man asked me to stand on this red line and he took my picture, before asking me to look into this thing to test my vision.

Then he started asking me questions. The 1st one was:

Have you ever had you license suspended before in this or any other state?

And I didn't answer fast, I actually kinda just started at him with this blank look on my face thinking "What the fuck I don't even have my license."

My Mom then said no, and the man half shouted "YOU CAN'T ANSWER FOR HER!" and then looked at me again.

Then he asked me if I had any medical or mental condition that would prevent me from driving. I was going to asked him if being blonde counted but he looked really mean and grumpy so I just said no...

The test was on a TOUCH SCREEN. I was so happy. Until I missed the first question. Then I was sad. IT WAS SO STUPID!!

It asked me what type of vehicles had to stop at railroad tracks.

and the choices were:

A. All vehicles

B. Public transportation

C. Cars

D. Vehicles carrying anything flammable or explosive

So, I thought back to my golf trips, and how in the van Coach had to stop and pull down the window and listen. So I picked B. The answer was D.

>=/

I passed though... =D

When I was done with my test, I went and sat down next to my mom in the seats. Two seats away was a woman, and then she had her purse set down on the seat next to her, and then their was my seat. My hand was close to her purse, but that didn't really matter to me until suddenly...I felt my hand getting very wet.

SHE HAD LITTLE PUPPIES IN HER PURSE!!

TWO OF THEM!!

They were adorable! ^-^

Got my license and they took my picture. After they did that, I had to sign on those little electric EPad things. I didn't really put together that what I signed on there would be my signature on my temps.

So now at the bottom of my temps it says in horrible cursive: Ashly Cost

and then after that it's a bunch of scribbles because I couldn't fit the rest of my name. =p

Mom didn't let me drive until we got to some familiar territory, then I had to drive to my Grammy's to pick up something.

I was holding the wheel so hard my knuckles were white. o.o

While I was driving on Boydan (I'm really sure that's not how the street name is spelled...but I don't care...), which is 25, I was doing 30. Everything was going fine when all of a sudden, this old guy pulls out and starts riding my ass.

AN OLD GUY!

I mean...normally it's the other way around...

But anyways, in the end, I just drove slower to piss him off and once we got to the intersection (I was going straight, he was making a left) he gave me this really evil glare and sped off.

=p

Mad it to Grammy's in once piece...although I made to fast of a turn turning into her street and most of the time Mom could have delivered the mail because I was so paranoid about hitting the on coming traffic so I was driving close to the shoulder...

When I shut the car off in my Grammy's driveway I nearly pissed myself. =p

Then I had to drive BACK.

It was better...until I got to my driveway.

Yes, my drive way.

No, I didn't hit my dad's reflectors, if I did, I would be dead.

What did happen though was when I turned into my driveway I suddenly see this huge white truck in front of me.

I screamed "THIS WASN'T ON THE TEST!" then slammed on my breaks. Turns out the roofing people came to the house today...

=p

Then that was it. I ate spaghetti for dinner and worked on my English paper rough draft from 6-9.

Ugh...it's so half ass...I didn't even write the conclusion paragraph...

Oh well.

Now I will go say hi to my Dad and then go to bed!

I IZ DA POKEMON MASTA

So just now JJ kept shouting my name from downstairs and I ran down and all of a sudden he just shoved his DS in my hands and shouted "Play Pokemon, I gotta pee!"

.........

I beat the gym leader with charmander though! =D

Today I went to the golf show with Dad and Mr. Grayson. It was pretty cool. They had a golf simulator thingy and it showed a par 3 hole and you had to get your ball closest to the pin and whoever did won $25,000.

I didn't do it, I was too nervous with all the people watching...

Put Paul did it!

He's one of my Dad's buddies and is really good at golf. As we walked around a lot of people talked about this Paul character and how he could putt and hit really well.

He made it to the leader boards on the par 3 hole thing, 8 yards away!

I thought it was cool since I could go "Yeah, I know Paul, he's a really cool guy."

=D

Got a windbreaker and some socks. Then we left. I wasn't feeling well so as soon as I came home I had some soup and went straight to bed. Slept for a few hours and I still wasn't feeling good so I didn't go to golf practice.

Got my homework finished, and now am chilling here in my bed with Cyro and talking to you lovely people online.

Heh...I took Cyro to the golf show with me. Dad wouldn't let me take him out of the car though...

=p

B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets

I've heard that song so many times this week, I love it. Dad played it really down in the basement while I was playing a little pool with him, Uncle Gary, and Mr, Grayson. I did pretty good this time! =D

We were all singing along to it too. =p

What can I say, I like Elton John.

Today was fun, woke up showered and got ready to go to Jessica's party.

I tried to get directions to her house but the computer downstairs froze on me. It's so slow from all of JJ's games he had on there...that boy is obsessed with Star Trek.

It was getting close for us to leave to go to the party too, so I was really rushing to get them (which is my fault since I should have gotten them earlier =p) but anyways, I had moved onto my laptop, and everything was going fine then. I had finally gotten the directions, and I had copied them and pasted them to word to print out, when all of a sudden it says my computer can't connect to the printer.

So, being the violent child that I am, in a fit of range I kicked my dresser so hard that I collapsed to the floor in pain, all at the same time, grabbing a piece of paper and pen to scribble the directions down and hoping that I didn't break my foot.

My foot isn't broken, but it really fucking hurts.

I wonder if my dresser has a dent in it...

In the end though we go to Jessica's house. =p

Devvy Chan, and Ellie came. We had a Pikachu cake and ice cream (I had chocolate chip cookie dough flavored) and it was really good!

It actually looked like this (I found in on Google image search):



Headed to Dave and Busters. Played the racing games first. I won. =p

Next Devvy Chan, Jessica and I (we were the 3 Musketeers of the afternoon) went to the games where you can win tickets and had a lot of fun.

We played air hokey, DDR, a motorcycle racing game, a basketball game, ski ball, this one where you pull a crank and lands on a number of tickets (very high numbers too) and another game where you drop you coins it, and the more you knock down over this ledge, the more tickets you get.

In the end, I only got 857 tickets or so though.

With my tickets I bought a stuffed monkey that reminds me of Cy (I named it Cyro), a shot glass for my dad, a water bottle, a light up push pop, and a Dora tattoo.

=D

The ride back home was fun, Jessica's mom is really nice. =)

Mom picked me up and she had the radio turned up really loud "Shout" was playing. Then Bennie and the Jets came on! =D

Came home, ordered a pizza, and then waited for the pizza and Cyrus to get to my house so we can bring it over to Grammy's.

We talked about many things, and enjoyed coke (the drink), pizza, and klondike bars. For a while we watched Academic Challenge, before moving into the TV room. Deja Vu was on, but we weren't really paying attention to it. Besides, the movie looked boring anyways.

Big Al played a lot with us too. He's a sweet little thing. Get's a big rough though...he bit Cyrus, so Grammy put him in the laundry room area.

Left around 9:20ish, Cy drove me home, and then he had to leave quickly.

After he left, I hung out in the bedroom with mom, I brushed her hair and then braided it and she played with my hair too.

=)

Then I watched a bit of SNL with her (the House guy was hosting tonight and he spoke with his accent!).

Now I'm here talking with Cyrus. =)

And yes, it is 3AM.

=p

Going to the Golf thing at the IX Center tomorrow (or actually, latter on today) with Dad and Mr.Grayson.

Then I have golf practice too.

Fun stuffs, fun stuffs!

I Wonder...

Do you think they'd play Unchained Melody by Righteous Brothers at the dance if I request it?

Yeah, I don't think so either...I guess Cyrus and me will have to slow dance to Soulja Boy or something.

=/

Slept in until 12 today. Once again I thought my Dad had died or something for not yelling at me at how late in the day it was.

Worked out and then read some more of The Bell Jar until he came over.

We went and rented Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist and made some popcorn. =D

After that we played hide and seek upstairs.

I hid behind the lazy boy chair and he couldn't find me for a long time. My Dad was sitting in it while I was behind it and Cyrus was like "Um...can I have a clue?"

My Dad only told him I was on the first floor and then he went off into the dining room I think and I heard him go "Could she fit in here...?" and my Dad and I started laughing hysterically. =p

That's about it.

Golf tomorrow and stuffs.

Hmmm...I'm feelin' like eating a Klondike Bar right now...

=p
