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.

ily.

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

ily.

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!

ily.

What's Been Happenin'

So my cousins grad party was interesting.

You see, my Aunt Jerry has Alzheimer and she kept asking my Mom if she was excited about the new little one that will be growing at the family reunion. Now my cousin Todd's wife just had another son and he'd be a month old when they bring him the the reunion, so we though she meant him.

Well then she started talking to me and saying "You're so small after all this time it's amazing!"

And then she suddenly spurts out "I mean, you're pregnant, right?"

I told her that I wasn't and I was only 15 and she went "Oh, I'm sorry dear!"

You don't know how hard it was for me not to burst out laughing right then and there.

And then Dad had me take the turnpike home and I didn't pull close enough to get the ticket. =p

Mom, JJ, and I watched Drilbit Taylor after that, it was good. =D

In cars at 9Am today, I had only about 3 hours of sleep before hand.

Hellz to the yeah.

Kept on getting a little far left in my lane on the highway since I normally drive with just my right hand while on it.

Practiced maneuverability and I beasted at it as well.

Three's on everything again. Secretly driving illegally on the road at 13 has it's benefits I guess.

The kid who was next had to drive me to my Grammy's and her was really nervous, you could tell he hadn't been out driving a lot.

We got the back bed all planted and mulched and it's really pretty!!

Took a small nap and then got ready for Jessica's grad party.

Cyrus picked me up and we went to a Natalie Petal's house first which was fun.

They had good cookies!

When we arrived at Jessica's house Karaoke was underway. I sang along with peeps. We then shot off fireworks (and for those of you that don't live in Ohio fireworks are illegal to shoot off although you can buy a shit load of them and no on will care) in the backyard and then Caramel, Mike, Gerber and I went to Caramel's house to grab some extra controllers to play Halo.

The cops were on their way to Jessica's house so we called Bill (her brother) and told them to hide the rest.

Sucked at Halo but had hell of a lot of fun playing it.

Cyrus' grad party is tomorrow. I already know what I'm going to write in his card I just need to make it.

My hand is killing me now, I will go to bed!

ily.

Larry

My Uncle had to put Larry down today. =/






There is Larry and then my Uncle holding him. He's 17 though, so it's not like it's all that tragic.

Other than that today was the most boring day I've ever had in awhile.

I'm mentally exhausted from trying to think of something to do and laying around.

JJ and Mom brought home McDonalds and then him and I went and watched Wal-E.

It was an okay movie, cute, but I'd never see it again. Up was better. =p

After that I got the outline for Chapter 4 done of my book and then played Bejeweled 2 until Mom decided we should go visit Grammy.

We watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy then went back home.

Did you know they changed the Final Jeopardy waiting song?!

It's the same tune, but different instruments.

Fail.

I hope the rain stops so everyone can have a good graduation party.

I'm going to 3 in a row starting tomorrow. My cousins (which I don't want to go to), Jessica B.'s, and Cy's (which I do want to go to).

I also have a lesson with Ross tomorrow at 3 as well.

Hope you guys found something to do on this rainy and muggy day. =/

ily.

I'm On Fire!

Literally.

So I'm up and trying to be all calm before golf and I decide to grill myself a burger.

So I go outside and turn on the gas and start to turn on each of the burners. I get to the last one and it's not turning on. So I keep clicking it on and off and still no dice.

Before I was annoyed enough to stop and get my mother to figure out what the hell was wrong it started up- and all the gas that was rising up from me trying to turn it on so many damn times thus, making a huge fireball hurtling towards my face.

Which caught my hair on fire.

I went running into the house yelling "Fuuuuuuuck!" and sped into my mothers bathroom to look at myself. My mom then came in and asked "How's the burger going?"

-_-

Then here eyes went really wide because I was covered in bits of burnt hair.

Lucky for me it's long enough to put up in a pony tail, so only what was hanging down got burnt.

And I don't have to pluck my brows anymore either.

My eyelashes are shorter though...

I also had to take another shower.

Burning hair does not smell good at all let me tell you.

Cyrus then came over because he wanted to give me some Gatoraid for golf today and I made him open the grill so I could cook my burger.

=p

I was really shaken by the incident though, which didn't really help with the whole 'Calm down and don't get nervous about losing your pride at golf today' plan.

Cyrus left and then I ate my burger and got dressed.

Chipped out in the backyard a bit before begging mom to take me to the course about 45 minutes early so I could hit balls just to give myself more confidence.

Got there and in the end didn't hit balls and went straight to the league teacher. Apparently, JJ's league teed off at 2, mine had teed of at 12.

Dad fucks up the times and leagues yet again.

JJ's league was lower than mine, so I didn't need to be nervous about sucking anymore. If I did you couldn't tell.

I just couldn't seem to hit my 3 wood- or any other woods in my bag. So I stuck to my 6 iron and pitching wedge for most of the course.

My score was average/ick. 53. =/

Which actually sort of pumps me up because if I'm shooting a 53 after being out only twice on a course (today counting as the 2nd time) my score should be kick ass once I'm out more.

After playing I met up with Jack who ran the advance league last year I believe. He was all "OMG YOU SHOULD BE IN ADVANCE WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"

I'm hoping there is at lest one other girl in the league besides me. It gets a little tiersome playing with guys all the time, plus I'm betting the guys are all older/bigger than me which plays down on my nerves a tad. Which in turn fucks up my game and we go back to the whole pride thing.

Spanish and English exam tomorrow then heading over to The Range to turn in my application and talk to Andrew (guy that works there).

I lost my wallet today too which is bad because it has my license in it.

><

I swear it's somewhere here in the house, but now I'm getting worried I might have dropped it somewhere. =x

Also:



This little guy was in front of our garage.

His name is it Tyler Toad because I'm all badass and creative like that.

=p

ily.

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. =)

ily.

Prom 2009

Uncle Tot still hasn't sent me those pictures, I need to harass him some more...

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 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.

ily.

Leaving

Douglas R. Wasson

DOUGLAS R. WASSON, age 54, of Cleveland. Beloved husband of Katarina "Kathy" (nee Arsenijevic); devoted father of Ryan and Daniel Wasson; dearest son of Dick and Jackie Wasson (nee Schroepfer);brother of Tom (Dottie), Jean Mitchell (Pat) and Billy (deceased); son-in-law of Rade (deceased) and Gisela Arsenijevic; cherished uncle of Kristin, Kara, Kevin, Emily, Kate and Kamryn. Doug was a dedicated employee of UPS for 31 years. Passed away on Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Memorials may be forwarded to the American Cancer Society, 10501 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH 44106. Funeral Mass at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at Church of the Holy Angels, 18205 Chillicothe Rd., Bainbridge Township, where friends may call FROM 10:30 A.M. UNTIL THE TIME OF THE MASS. Cremation by Busch Crematory. Friends may call at the BUSCH FUNERAL HOME, 7501 RIDGE RD., PARMA, FROM 2-4 AND 7-9 P.M. MONDAY.

Dad and I went to see Doug today and say our good-byes. Thank goodness he was cremated, I don't think I would have been able to hold myself together for very long if I just saw him lying there.

Met his wife and his one son Daniel. Dad did all of the talking though.

I kind of laughed though. There was a candle next to his urn and it reminded me of a part in this movie trailer where this guy is going "When my grandfather died there was this one candle next to his bed and it started flickering and we all thought that was him going to heaven. =)" and then the other guy goes "Dude you don't pass fire to get to heaven...I think he went to hell."

=p

It lifted up my spirits a tad.

Cyrus let me take his hoodie home as well so I'm snuggling in it.

I love snuggling in hoodies. =)

Rayy wasn't at school today, she's been sick since last week. Poor thing. =/

Feel better Rayy!! *huggles*

ily.

It's Hardly Spring

And I already have sunburn all on my shoulders, upper back, and neck.

Hellz yeah to yard work.

Dad and I went to Eddies Bike shop today and bought me riding gloves. The doctor said they'd help when I start weight lifting again and with golf.

Went home and I worked on my VV project for all of 4 minutes before it was burger time!

Cyrus came over after that and him, Dad, and myself went on an 8 mile bike trip. We took the Enchanted Forest path, which wasn't really all that enchanting since the leaves weren't on the trees...but oh well.

Dad rode his bike really fast so Cyrus and I lagged behind and talked. =p

After that he helped me with my VV project. The map is pretty much finished except for one or two places because we couldn't really figure out what to put.

Dad got me the best thing today.

It's a small plastic piggy.

But that's not all.

There's a button on it's head, and when you press it the nose lights up and in oinks!!

I love it so much! ^-^

I probably shouldn't be blogging and resting my hands but they felt great today. Might as well seize the moment, right?

ily.

A Little Equation

Typing on the computer constantly + Writing constantly + Golfing a lot = Carpal Tunnel.

I got two suckers when I left though...

One of them was for Cyrus. =)

Everyone liked my shirt and Dora band aid. =p

Finally got to meet Mr. P too! =D

Picked up Andy and drove to the talent show.

I'm an aggressive driver he says. =p

"Wow this guy is going slow let's ram him." "Guy on a bike! Lemme get closer then one of you open your door!"

=p

I was mostly doing it just for laughs though (onlynotreally. =p).

Talent show was okay. Too many people dancing though.

Andy's mom drove me here, and tomorrow Cy and I are going out to get Peaches present and then help her set up for her Sweet 16 Luau!

I made her a playlist for party for us to jam too. =)

Doc said to take it easy, so I'm gonna try to stay off the computer and not write much.

I need to go back to the docs soon as well to they can make sure it's not worse than it is. If I start feeling any pain then that's bad...

Haven't felt any yet though...so...yeah...

ily.

This Is Probably

Going to be one of my last post's for a while.

For about a year or probably a bit longer I have been experiencing numbing in my hand and arm, that has caused me to do simple things such as drop things and has prevented me from writing and typing.

I always thought it was because my hand had been falling asleep, that I was tired, or something.

Then some people started joking around "Ha ha, you're probably got CP from all that writing of yours you little author you!"

(For those of you who don't know, I've been filling journals and word documents with stories, novels, and little poems since 4th grade).

CP is short for carpal tunnel.

Now, I know it's terrible to self diagnose (which I tell people not to do...) but I think I might be starting to get it, or at least something.

I've gone to multiple sights, and I have been experiencing the very similar symptoms. Also, Sam last year had it, and she was talking about the same things.

Now, she was in gymnastics, golf is a way different sport, but you still put pressure on your wrist a lot.

And I type a lot as well, and my hands are always leaning against the keyboard.

I talked to my mother about it today and she felt my wrist and it hurt a bit. She said she's going to try and make a doc appointment for Friday.

It's been so frustrating because it's so hard to write simple notes. Driving class was the worst, my writing was so sloppy.

I didn't really wanna tell anyone about this though because I was afraid I would have to stop golfing and writing...

Blogging has been really hard but I just tended to ignore it because I loved doing it so much.

Bleh.

It's too hard to type now, I'm gonna go read some Huck Finn and then Cyrus is coming over cuz JJ wants him to see his room.

ily.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Excuse my French.

(Whys it French anyways?)

Screw that. Excuse my Chinese.

So the afternoon was completely boring.

I got up, and was still sick, which also got me out of helping re-arrange JJ's room and take apart his bunk bed.

Now he has two normal beds. His room is cool though, I'm jealous.

Anyways, I read Of Mice And Men. It only took me about two hours, between 1 bathroom break and then helping my Uncle Scott try to find a CD that my Dad had borrowed from him (we still didn't find it).

It was a good read, kinda sad in the end though. =(

After that I took a few half naps during the day. My sinuses have been draining so I'm all bleh.

The only thing I've had to eat today was KFC (which I feel guilty about...I told JJ to go to Arby's for my popcorn chicken craving, not there...).

I was on the computer checking e-mails and chatting with Cyrus when Mom came up and asked if I wanted to rent a movie.

So I was like sure and got in the car and I drove up with her to Network video.

Well, in the distance near Panini's I saw a bunch of red and blue lights.

And no, I was not speeding.

Mom and I had thought that someone had tried to pull out of their parking lot and got hit.

I parked the car and then Mom and I went to investigate.

All the while I was pointing out the fact that you could be the happiest person in the world and it didn't matter because everyone is so interested in death and tragedy as soon as you see a car crash you go "OMG MUST CHECK THIS OUT!!!"

But I digress.

We went to the fence and there was a bunch of clothes in the parking lot. I watched Fox 8's video, and they showed them.

It was kinda scary since I was there to see some of it (not the actual shooting but the clothes and the jeep and such).

Apparently the two are still alive.

Man, what is wrong with people?

*sigh*

Went to Network video after that. The guy that owns the place (Scott) older son (who looks like he's maybe...7?) came up to me and wanted to sell some chocolate. Naturally since he was so cute he suckered me into buying some M&M's.



Then, the youngest son came up to me and handed me a little piece of paper with a smiley face drawn on it.



That made my day. ^-^

More things happened (but they're seeeecret). =x

Mom and I watched the new Mummy movie together, it was nice.

I still feel sick...bleh.

Hopefully it'll pass by tomorrow morning.

I'm going to work on a test map and stuffs tomorrow morning for VV.

Hopefully.

Oh yeah! I also gots a DailyBooth! I took that picture awhile ago...I still don't like it all the same though. I hate pictures of me. I always look...bleeeh.

ily.

*Snore*

So tired...but I must blog because I'll feel guilty because I didn't post yesterday.

Umm..let's see...

Yesterday was the writing OGT. It was so easy. Danny Colt (I believe that's he's last name, or close to it) fell asleep and was snoring really loud. It was funny.

=p

Everyone finished their tests early yesterday and today so we got to talk.

I finished my science OGT with a half hour to spare.

I fell asleep for 10 minutes and then we got to talk so I went over to where Ryan was sitting and we talked about Greek letters, and driving.

Social Studies OGT tomorrow.

I'm slowly losing confidence with each OGT. I feel nervous about my math and science one already. Everyone said they were really easy, but I dunno, they weren't a complete breeze for me.

I mean, some of the shit on the math and science one I had no clue how to do.... =/

Meeeeeh.

Wow. I've just lost my train of thought. I literally started at the post box for about five minutes...

Physics has been really fun this week. Andy and I are partners and we're building a rocket. He's always fun to work with. =)

I also had my first Fig Newton. It was yummy. =)

During guidance today we had to deal with Bitchy Pitts.

I will forever hate that woman. She always acts like she has a stick perpetually shoved up her ass or something.

>=/

Dunker day was today! I was a bit grumpy and needed a hug from Cyrus (I don't want to explain why, I'm too tired) but in the end I was better.

Spanish has been fun, we've done nothing but play games.

I've been having like, major brain farts recently though. It's quite annoying.

For example, I completely forgot how to do the problems on my math homework, I forgot where quite a few rooms were in the school, I kept confusing Spanish words while playing the chalkboard races, and I can barley remember what I did yesterday.

*sigh*

Art Mr. Test gave us Volume 4 of the VVT (Vally Voyages Times- as I like to call it). I love them, they're always colorful. =p

English we took our VW test and then were allowed to sit around and just talk for the rest of the period, it was nice.

Stayed after school for a golf meeting then Cyrus drove Peaches home and I finally got to see her new dog!

She was adorable. =D

Went home to my own dog and Cyrus and I took her for a walk. I got to drive to the park with Cyrus and Mom in the car! =)

We walked about 3 miles or so. It was fun. =)

When we got back home we fell asleep on the couch for a bit and then Cy had to go and pick up his sister.

Took a shower and then did my math homework to try and keep myself awake. I was too tired to do much of anything else though.

I went on youtube because I'm subscribed to Google's YT account and watched a video on Google maps for my VV project.

I'll either start that this weekend or during next week. I need to finish Mice and Men before Monday and we're going to be taking apart JJ's bunk bed.

Wow, it's only 10 and I'm exhausted...

Just one more OGT left...

ily.

Bang

So school was interesting today.

Well, actually, the bus ride home was more of a scary thrill but I'm getting ahead of myself.

So, OGTs today. Everyone was all perky and ready for the test, but I'm sure by Friday we'll all be like zombies.

I actually ate breakfast today too! It was so weird...I had to like, shove my cereal down my throat since I never eat breakfast in the morning...

Reading OGT. Easiest one.

Got done with 25 minutes to spare...so I like, basically wasted 25 minutes of my life staring at the wall since we wern't allowed to do ANYTHING. Not even read.

Humph.

Makes me grumpy...

Physics class we're starting to build a rocket. Andy is my partner. Awesomeness. =)

Math we're in a different room for the week because Coach's room is being used for people who haven't finished their tests yet.

3rd period went by so fast. Too fast actually.

Spanish Smith wasn't there so we had Ms. Rayy as a sub. I talked to her about Spanish and asked her how long and where and how she studied. It was quite interesting.

History was...bleeeh...only class that made me tired today. We watched a poorly made movie on ww2. The background music kept repeating! It was so annoying. Sure, they repete some background music in all movies, but at least they make it so it's hard to notice or it actually fits and isn't annoying.

I have that stupid little tunr stuck in my head now... ><

The narration was a bit annoying as well. The one guy almost sounded like a computer. =/

Art was okay, I didn't really get anything done. Cyrus told me a funny story about his summer last year.

=p

English we went over the book and then Ryan, Andy, and I talked about driving and stuffs. =)

Now, on to the bus ride.

I'm letting you know, I don't have a lot of facts, I'm just telling you what I know from being there.

So, we were going down the Summerlane street or whatever. Dad calls it "the street with the gay stop signs" which is odd because he never uses the word gay that way except for that.

But I digress.

So we're at the one sharp corner, going towards the post office. I'm listening to my Ipod on the right side of the bus in the front. Nick Ward and others were on the left side of the bus in the back, yelling out the window.

All of a sudden, I hear this bang. And I know it was a gun shot, trust me, I've heard enough in my life.

Everyone started screaming stuff like "OMG A GUN A GUN, HE SHOT AT US!" and Mrs. Sherry was like "A paintball gun?" and they were all screaming "NO NO A REAL GUN, A REAL GUN!!"

I started texting Ryan and apparently from what we both could make out on the bus radio they were calling the cops and I believe they were saying it was a real gun.

Now, a lot of things look and sound like a real gun nowadays, and I don't know for sure if they actually shot AT the bus, or up in the air or whatnot.

I looked on the side of the bus, but I didn't see any bullet holes or dents, or splatters of paint.

I didn't hear anything hit the bus anyways though.

So, that was my bus ride.

I tried to call Jimmy for details since he was actually in the back of the bus but he wasn't picking up his celly, so I'll ask him at school tomorrow.

Checked my e-mails, did my math homework, and talked to Cyrus oh the phone until about 4:30ish?

My windows were opened, and the breeze was so nice, and the sounds from outside were so calming I wanted to fall asleep to it.

JJ woke me up in time for dinner, and then I drove Dad and Shannon to the park. I had to try 3 times to park in the spot though, once because I was really crooked, the second time because I was in the space but I wasn't perfectly in the middle and I have a small case of self diagnosed OCD, and the third time because I wanted to practice pulling in once more.

Walking the dog was nice. Perfect weather.

=D

Spring break is in 17 days...can't wait!

Got home, watched a bit of house with Mom and helped Dad pack for Florida tomorrow.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day! I iz happy. =)

I gots cool socks and a cool hat! =D

Baby Sitting, Twigs, and Spiders

Alrighty so last night I drove over to Cy's house to help him baby sit the little ones.

We made popcorn, and a fort, and watched Kung fu Panda!

Then before we were leaving their one black cat came up to me and I started petting it. Cy's Dad said that it was always very timid and never really came up to people (even him or Cyrus), so I felt kinda special that it would come up to me.

=)

After that I went home and pretty much went right to sleep.

Dad woke me up today and him, JJ and I went to Grandma's house (his mom's) to pick up some sticks in the yard. Then I climbed to the top of the tree in the front yard and texted Cyrus. While doing so I noticed that the branch I was sitting on was half rotten from the inside, and it was slowly cracking.

So what did I do?

Why, I waiting for Cyrus to reply, so then I could reply back, and then sat up there some more before finally coming down.

I'm not stupid...I just like sitting up really high in trees, even if the branch I'm sitting on is going to break and I'm going to fall and crack my neck.

I didn't get to drive to grandmas or back because we had to take my Dad's company car and he said it was too crowded on the highway.

I mean, the last time I was out on the highway there was hardly anyone. Plus, I was in my mom's car, which is okay to crash since we actually own that car, and not like my Dad's company car which the company owns and I'm not really allowed to drive at all.

Got back home, showered, watch The Ring 2, the fell asleep until Cyrus came over. We talked upstairs a bit before watching Spider Man. Part of the way through I wanted to go upstairs and watch the cop shoot the skunk in our yard.

He had a good shot, once in the head from our deck. Apparently he's a firearm instructor.

The back yard stinks though. XP

Cy and I finished the movie, and then he left.

Dad had built a fire upstairs so I sat by it for awhile before coming up here.

Tomorrow Mom wants to go to this train thing at the IX center, and I'm not just letting her go alone with JJ (I'm afraid something bad might happen, don't ask me why).

OGT's then on Monday...

Meh..

ily.

Umm..ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZ

I'll blog...tomorrow...too tired now.

Maybe I'll talk about school here...

It was boring and cold.

Wow that was easy.

Talk about my evening tomorrow! =D

Happy Friday the 13th!

ily.

Can You Say...

Toy boat five times fast?

o.o

Yeah, I didn't think so.

School was, alright I guess. Last day for OGT review and prep tomorrow, I'm sure some of my teachers are freaking out.

Spanish was fun today, don't ask me why, it just was. I like speaking in Spanish! =D

History class Mr. J got some big laughs telling us about his old job and shopping at Abercrombie and Hollister.

I've only been in Abercrombie, so I'm glad I was warned about Hollister.

I'm more of a Hot Topic kinda girl anyways. =p

(I wish their stuff wasn't so pricey though! =o)

After school Cyrus and I went to Stan's Bakery and got 3 Dutch Chocolate Fudge cookies (the 3rd one was for JJ). They were soooo good. We ate them in the cometary, and I said hellos to my Grandpa and everyone else that's related to me buried there (I'm guessing half the cemetery??).

Cyrus and I spotted a grave where the person was boring in 1877. I thought that was cool. =D

We went to the park next. I climbed on some rocks and then we went on the bridge and looked at the water and I told him so of the adventures I'd been on.

Then we went back and I climbed the Climbing Tree (very creative name, I know) which JJ and I had so named because we always used to climb on it since we were little. =)

I took my shoes off (or should I say slippers) and climbed to the one limb and made faces at Cy. =p

Then we went to the little visitors center and I showed Cyrus around and then the best part came.

We got to feed the birds! =D

I love feeding them, they're all so cute and gentle. I love most dragging people along to freeze for a bit to feed them for the first time in their lives as well. =)

Went to Marcs to get boxes for my mother because we giving away a lot of clothes and she wants them all folded nicely and stuff.

Then Cyrus went home and I took a small half nap, ate dinner, and hung with my Dad for awhile and then came back upstairs to watch The Ring. I'm not finished yet, I just got to the part where the dude is visiting the loony bin.

No scary parts really. I'm going to watch it tomorrow when I get home from school. That way, ya know, it's light out?

=p

I can watch scary movies in the dark...just not alone...it's not fun...and I don't want to be scared AND alone. Hugging a pillow only does so much. =p

Will be helping Cyrus babysit tomorrow. I'm excited, I haven't seen the little ones in awhile and I'm sure they'll be excited to see me! =D

That's all for now!

Time for some rest. =)

I Can't Drive 55

So I'm really really excited and hyper right now!!!

School was okay.

While Jess and I were delivering passes today the fire alarm went off. She jumped and I swear, almost touched the ceiling. =p

I had to grab her by the arm and pull her towards the direction the other kids were going she was so surprised.

Spanish we took our tests, it was really fun to write about the floor plan we were given!

Got home, and watched CSI then had my favorite again (lemon peppered chicken) for dinner.

While I was in the middle of math homework Dad jumped in and was like "YOU WANNA GO DRIVING?!"

And I screamed "YEAH!" then dropped my math homework and ran to the car.

Forgetting my wallet.

Again.

And he also didn't bring his.

Again.

We only seem to do it whenever we're driving with each other now...

I put a sticky note on the mirror saying DO NOT FORGET WALLET.

The Romaniks had made me my own Student Driver sign so I got to use it. =D

Anyways, so I was driving along and complaining about how the speed limit was only 50 so my Dad got tired of it and was like, make a right and the next thing I knew, I was on the on ramp to 271.

IT...WAS...AWESOME!

I was going 80 and it was so fast and smooth and going around every turn felt like I was in the Indy 500 or something!

Then Dad told me to slow down to 70...

Fucking cops...

Got off the highway, and made a left off of it. Everything was going fine until the next turn.

Apparently, when my Dad said "Turn right here" he pointed to the left. But I wasn't looking at him, so I thought he literally meant "Turn right here"

Well, the problem was, RIGHT was an OFF ramp.

My Dad and I were yelling (mostly in excitement though):

Dad: "OH MY GOD WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"
Me: "I'M TURNING RIGHT LIKE YOU TOLD ME TO-"
Dad: "NO!! I MEAN TURN LEFT!! GO STRAIGHT NOW!!!"
Me: *Cuts car so it's going straight and pulls into a parking lot*
Dad: "Holy shit...you almost went the wrong way on the highway..." *whips face*
Me: *Slams head on wheel*

While working out, my new song came on, or as Dad likes to call it. It's called I Can't Drive 55.

It's also on the playlist. =)

Dude, even the title is accurate. =p

Came upstairs and then was quickly called back down by my mother who dragged me out into the garage to show me this:





This little guy is a lizard and apparently I must have accidentally squished the head as I was setting down the water mom got from the store.

Whoops...

Also, while I was looking for Crayons to color on day, I found these and thought it was hilarious:



=p

That's it for my day.

Cyrus will be back in school tomorrow as well! =D
