Current mood:

bored

FINALLY!!!
Ok Ok Ok...you're probably thinking omgsh 1. This entry is huge. 2. Why hasn't he updated...well mainly it's because I have been extremely lazy to sit down and actually type out this massive thing..but...this entry has been in the works since before I got out of school...a little bit at a time...goodness..sorry it's taken so long. So wish me luck trying to remember all the details...well...I've graduated as I just said, (after much debate over the diploma [read on]) and now I'm bored so I might as well finish where it started.

Another thing, it was 4 months on the 9th of July, since my surgery and I'm doing much better. Still have scars but nothing like the way it used to look...I thank God for that. Still with Sara as well; (didn't mean to make that sound like a bad thing) I love that girl with all my heart...She'll be mine to hold until God takes her away from me or me away from her. <3 Ok, I better move on...

So let me start from where my last LJ left off…yeah I was pretty stressed out about prom stuff...nobody could agree on stuff and then we have some other insane issues...well it got better then went back to being crazy...but school's almost over so that's good, kinda.

Prom-So on the 28th of April it was time for prom. Curtis and me really weren't too busy all day up until a few hours before it was time to leave. We started getting ready @ 3:30pm, too late really, because everyone was coming over at about 4:15. So really we started to flip out and rush like crazy. Well after we finally got ready Curtis' date came and we just were waiting on Sara. She came around and looked simply beautiful. We took about a million pictures and finally left for the capital. We were supposed to get there at 5pm, but showed up about 5:30 or so, lol. We ran into Josh and he led us to where everyone was taking pictures. I introduced everyone to Sara at that time then we went on to take some more pics. We took lots and lots of pics and [they are on Myspace now]. After that we went to Longhorn in Corridor G. We got there and everyone was waiting out front for us.

We went in and we were split up. Chelsie, Taylor, Josh, and Leasa sat at one table while Me, Sara, Mandi, Eich, Danielle, Keller, and Courtney all sat together. Earlier I had called Longhorn to make sure they could have a surprise for Leasa. She def. didn't want anyone to do anything for her, but I made sure that wouldn't be the case. We had a great time and talked about all kinds of stuff and finally got our food. I ate till I was full and got ready to leave. Everyone else left before Sara and me. We were waiting on my uncle to get there with his awesome 30's Chevy, I think it was. He got there and we took more pics then we went to go take pics with the car, took those then finally got to prom.

When we got there I met dad and his gf. Said hi, took pics, and went on in. I walked in and looked around and finally spotted Mandi. I went over there and after a few minutes started dancing around with Sara. Gosh we had a time and a half. I think the most fun we had was with the swing songs. I just don't even know how to describe it, simply FUN. Soon enough prom was over and it was to leave. We got our stuff and Sara, Leasa, Matt Harris, and me rode with Josh.

He dropped them off including myself and Sara. After we got ready we got picked back up and headed for After-prom.

After-prom-We got to after-prom about 12:45 I would say…and ran right into Chels and Taylor. To sum it up...we did tons of stuff…inflatables, Foosball, guitar hero, danced some more, ate and drank some more, bowled, got a caricature done, got some prizes at the end...and well I'm sure other stuff as well…Josh got me and Sara back by almost 6am I think it was…lol…whew real late.

Sun(4/29)-Well I woke up at 9am cause I had to go to church. Sara and her family came with us that morning and then after church we all went to go eat at Ryan's. After we ate we said our goodbyes and went back home. I got about 30 mins maybe more of sleep or so. Then went to church that night and actually didn't fall asleep..lol...well the next week came.


Week of [4/29-5/5]

Sun(4/29)-Well I woke up at 9am cause I had to go to church. Sara and her family came with us that morning and then after church we all went to go eat at Ryan's. After we ate we said our goodbyes and went back home. I got about 30 mins maybe more of sleep or so. Then went to church that night and actually didn't fall asleep..lol...well the next week came.

Well that week was pretty boring actually, nothing too exciting really, got midterms =0 (English-C, Comm. Service-A, Creative Wr.-B, Anat/Phys-N/A (lol)).

Sat-Sun (5/5--5/6)-I went up to Sara's for a visit..I really missed her..so mom let me go up there on Sat and stay till Sun. I had a lot of fun up there, like I always do. Went to Applebee's to start off with. Later, got to take a walk and be alone for a change...and then came back and watched Emperor's New Groove (good movie btw)...and then went to sleep then woke up and went to church with her. I really like her church, pretty neat...especially the teen Sunday school teacher..Doug..great guy. Well after church me, her, and some friends went to go see Disturbia..crazy movie..but good..lol. Later around 4:30pm i was dropped off..said my goodbyes and went on home..


Week of [5/6-5/12]

Well nothing major happened that I can remember...except till the middle of the week. On Wed.(5/9) Mr. Wendt's 1st block and some kids from our class; Shamblin's AP English class, went to a mock court case. We went there back in like the beginning of the year now we were going again. Well I rode up there with April Hall and Mr. Wendt in the passenger with me in the back. Let me tell you, that was a trip and a half with Mr. Wendt in there..lol. Mr. Wendt knows how to rock out...hah hah..ok..well we got up there..and long story short...we won the case and celebrated at Bennigan's. Mr. Wendt paid for every one's meal and well that was really cool of him. We enjoyed ourselves and soaked in the victory while we ate and reminisced about the case and class experiences and stuff. We soon left and I got back to school and my ride (MANDI!![lol]) wasn't there so I had to call my grandma to come and pick me up. Mr. Wendt waited till she got there and we went home; pretty nice of him.

The next day (Thurs [5/10])-Our English class took the AP test...started it right around 8:15am or so...and it pretty much lasted till after lunch...it was a long time..but really I felt well prepared for the test as a whole. I mean we had been taking practice tests that ironically looked pretty much the same. We all really joked about the rules...saying we couldn't discuss what we took until like we got our results back (still waiting on those) and something else you couldn't ever discuss in your life...it was just some random humor to pass the time. I sat beside Leasa the whole time. She was pretty cool...I probably wouldn't have gotten it graded correctly if it wasn't for her...helping me out with all the small stuff..hah..Thanks again Leasa. Everyone else sat in the back...I kept making hand gestures to em and laughing and stuff...a couple times Ms. Hudson caught me though and told me to stop..lol. Well eventually it was over, we ate lunch, and went to 3rd block.

Fri [5/11]-Finally the day had come when I got to go see Sara again. This time though it was because of her b-day. I got into some heated controversy with mom about it though considering Sunday was Mother's Day, so yeah. Well anyways...I knew what I wanted to get Sara, but as usual I put it off. My youth leader at church came and picked me up to take me to Sara's house, but like I said we had to hurry and get to the shops before I went to meet her. So we ran around everywhere and finally picked up...some amazing strawberry dacari lotion from bath & body works, The Emperor's New Groove (DAD), a card, and a rose =D. Well we got there and I surprised her with her first gift, the rose..and she loved it of course..lol..and she was almost determined to open her other presents in the bag...and I was just as determined not to allow that..lol. Well I said goodbye and jumped in the car and left with Sara. Long story short, we all went back to her house were really tired and really actually I think just went to bed after a while.

Sat [5/12]-On Saturday I woke up with a dog on top of me trying to lick me and another one trying to get on the bed as well. Sara’s crazy dogs, whew. Well I got up and forgot about trying to go to sleep. I walked to Sara’s room and she was asleep so I didn’t want to bother her. So I went downstairs and I think jumped on the computer. I stayed on there quite a while, until Sara woke up. We had some breakfast a little bit later and her mom mentioned that we should go with Eric (Sara’s brother) and his family to Blennerhassett Island. So we decided to do that. We all got ready and left. We stopped at KFC before we got there and picked up some food. When we got there we were in line for the boat when the boat filled up we were left there waiting for the next one. So we took it as an opportunity to sit down and actually eat the food. Although when we sat down we actually realized we didn’t have drinks, so Eric and Jeff went to go and get some. Up until that day Grace (Eric’s daughter) had been scared of me, yes scared of me. She was completely afraid of people with facial hair. Talk about irrational fear I know. But today, she actually started to smile and play around with me. It was funny. After we got on the island me and her were sitting on the ground throwing little sticks around. She’s funny. Well there was a lot of stuff on this island. All these reenactors all around us from the colonial times and stuff. It was pretty neat. I think Sara’s parents like it most of all, because Jeff was totally into conversations with all the “locals” and Elly was talking to a lot of em too. Sara said she really would enjoy doing that and has wanted to for a long time. Well after spending a good while on there it was already time to go. We left and went to Daniel’s house (Another one of Sara’s brothers). We stopped there to meet them to go to Valley World’s of Fun, which is where we were going for Sara’s birthday. We jumped into Daniel’s car and left for that place.

Once we got there I realized that the place was really awesome actually. We really don’t have anything like that around here anymore and it’s kinda sad really. I enjoyed myself there. First we put all the stuff down at our little table and Me, Sara, and Daniel wanted to go outside and do stuff. We went out there and started to do the rock wall thing. Gosh it was hard. Daniel of course did the hard one, I did the medium one, and Sara did the easy one. Sara was the only one to hit the bell at the top. Although, after multiples attempts later in the evening Daniel did too. After that we went on one of those slides with the sack u sit in, that was fun. Daniel tried to slow me down, but in turn he almost made me crash, crazy guy! Lol. Well after a while we actually ate and opened presents. Sara loved her gifts and especially that lotion. I know it just smells amazing. After all that fun we actually went to go play laser tag Sara was on my team along with along a woman with her kid. We did terrible..hah. Before we left me and Daniel got in a heated DR match. Gosh it was intense sweating and the works. We got up to our last song and it was a doozy, 225 bpm. That was extreme let me tell you…and you know who won? ME! Hah. We both were dead after it though, so it didn’t even really matter. We left there and went home. I was exhausted so it didn’t take too long for me to go to bed.


Week of [5/13-5/19] (Keeping the weekdays short)

Sun [5/13]-MOTHER’S DAY!! Lol. I woke up and actually wished Sara’s mom a happy mother’s day. Lol. That was interesting. I think I actually jumped on the computer and starting some of this massive thing. We went to church and had a fun time and then afterwards went to Taco Bell considering everywhere else would be immensely packed. I called mom there and wished her a happy mother’s day. After that we went to Eric’s house for a while. Eric showed me his game that he plays a lot called Age of Mythology I think it was. I started to play it and before I new it Eric came back in and said that Sara and her parents had just crashed in the living room. I went in there and just laughed and came back and played some more. Eventually Sara woke up and came in there with me. Soon enough it was time to leave and meet Teresa again. When we got there though, Jeff treated everyone to some ice cream. It was really good! But unfortunately I had to go and leave Sara once again. Me and Teresa went to Wal-Mart to get some stuff for mom for mother’s day since we didn’t have time before we got up there! We got some neat stuff and headed back to church that night. She liked the stuff we got her too! Then after service went home and went to sleep.

Mon [5/14]- Sara’s Birthday, big ol’ 16 yr. Old!! Sweet 16..seems so long ago for me, Lol. Oh goodness…Well other than that I went to the cardiologist and was pretty much told to stay on the medicine and he would see me in September! Long time off. Besides that..nothing.

Tues [5/15]- Nothing out of the ordinary.

Wed [5/16]-We went to the Animal Shelter for Community Service and fed dogs, girls played with some kittens, we had to protect Mr. Wendt from a giant dog, now that was fun! Lol. By the time we left there I was pretty glad, cause it smelled horrible! Rest of the day-practically nothing.

Thurs [5/17]-This day at school was really busy. We went throughout first and second block normally then the seniors got onto busses at lunch and made the “huge” ride across the bridge to CiCi’s. I sat with Josh. It was pretty funny I was bouncing in my seat when we hit a pothole and I flew up in the air; that was fun! So when we got there the line….Whew..talk about a line! Gosh! It was incredibly long. I was right at the end of the line basically. I more less sat down, ate, and it was time to go. Before I knew it we were headed back for the school. We got back and put on our caps and gowns. We all got together a took a gigantic picture, which was pretty neat. Afterwards we practiced walking in about 3-4 times. By that time it was almost time to leave from school.

Fri [5/18]-This was an extremely busy day. Started off in Comm. Service. I had to turn all my hours in, I think I had around 154 or so. 3rd of 4th highest in the school at least when I saw. Then we went to the nursing home in Teays Valley, as soon as we got back I ran to the library to the “ice cream social” for those who took the AP test, SO good! Love my ice cream! Then in 3rd block we went to the Community Center to read our stories we had made up to the little kids over there. Lol…this one kid was hilarious, I was playing around with him with this little stuff horse…he was laughing..that was pretty funny! That was all for that day.

Sat [5/19]- On Saturday night the church had a benefit sing for me and some other people at our church @ King’s River Worship Center in their “Vibe Center.” We had some bands come out and play and raise money. It was actually an average turnout though. I had fun got a little sick while I was there too. Chest started hurting and mom said I was irregular (heart rhythm).


Week of [5/20-5/26]

Mon [5/21]-We had finals in Blocks 1 & 3. (English and Creative Writing)

Tues [5/22]-We had finals in Blocks 2 & 4. (Just Comm. Service [wrote a paper]) Also I did the first and last lesson in FCA with Chelsie Hedrick which was really good!

</b>Wed [5/23]</b>- It was the last day of my high school career =(. We all gathered in the student lounge instead of going to 1st block and we all had our gowns on. We all talked in there for a long time until it was time to go and we all came into the auditorium with everyone standing up watching us. After sitting in there a long time and actually winning a couple awards it was time to go. We had to go and check out and stuff like that. After that insane process it was time to go. I went to go say goodbye to all my teachers. Won’t list names but I talked to everyone. Actually said goodbye to some friends in the process too! =(. After we left I rode home with Josh and went to McDonalds to eat with Jake too. We all talked about how high school was over and how we couldn’t believe it and etc. Then after that Josh brought me back home. I sat at home for a long time on the Internet realizing school was over. Other than that not much.

</b>Thurs [5/24]</b>-On Thurs the only thing going on was Baccalaureate. It was just a little ways past my house at Cross Lanes Bible Church. I was given the opportunity to close in prayer too. The service was really nice. Everything was basically flawless other than not knowing where the Pastor was, only to find out he was in the first row. Lol. We went up there and I was in the front row. When it came time for me to get up there. I was so nervous. Like probably the most nervous I had been in some time, if not ever. My eyelids were literally twitching. Really though I did a good job and I was glad I had the opportunity to do that. Afterwards mom took lots of pictures and then we went back to the house to change and mom said we could go to Dairy Queen. I drove down there and got some good stuff and actually ran into Amy Brennan and Sara Brasher. They mentioned the school prank was that night and asked if I wanted to go. I said sure I would be down there, cause that’s what I really had wanted to do. So I called Josh up and told him that he was going to the school tonight for the senior prank. He said that would be awesome and called Taylor up. As soon as I got home I dressed up for the part in all black and waited for Josh. He came with Taylor and we were off. We went down to Ridenour and met there. Soon enough we all went to the school. Sam Johnson’s house is right across the street, so what we did was just naturally hid our cars and ran into her house when we got into trouble. So our theme was busting out and we were gonna put up bras everywhere. So that’s what everyone did. But not only that, Toilet paper was a must have there. Goodness…that stuff was everywhere. That place was basically trashed. There were trashcans on top of the breezeway toilet paper everywhere all in the trees. And the nastiest part was Vaseline was everywhere too! Blah. Well when we were down there we had run back and forth in and out of Sam’s house. This one time though we knew it was the cops for sure..Everyone made a mad dash I knew I couldn’t get to Sam’s house so Josh, Taylor, and me just sat in Josh’s truck. Long story short we got busted cleaned up 3/4s of the stuff before they realized where everyone else was hiding then they came and cleaned up some stuff too. The cops left playing “bad boys” and said, “You got busted by the Po-lice” hah hah..crazy. Anyways. After that was over we went to eat at Tutor’s. Then I went home dead tired and fell asleep.

</b>Fri [5/25]</b>- The next day was practice at the Civic Center. I was late because I was out when Josh was supposed to come and pick me up so I had to get my grandma to take me. I got up there and snuck right in quite easily. When we were practicing I got up to shake the principal’s hand he whispered something to me, “Great job with the prayer and the toilet paper last night” That was something else. After everything was up we found out that 23 people I think wouldn’t be getting their diploma’s until the next week (Senior Beach week aka: nobody there) or Aug. [I talk about it later btw]. We went back into the mall and hung out with Leasa, Danielle, Josh, and Taylor. Josh and Taylor though just left because they were aggravated and had to go. So I got to ride home with Leasa. We just talked all the way home considering she lives the next street over from me. I went home and when mom got home she told me that we had to go and set up the stuff at church for my graduation party. We spent a long long time over there and made it look really nice then we came back home. I talked to Sara for a while and got ready for graduation.

</b>Sat [5/26]</b>-GRADUATION. The time had come High School Graduation. WOW. Seemed unreal. The place was packed and I was already anxious to walk up there and get my “diploma” that wouldn’t be in there. Gosh we did all the stuff and gosh it was a great ceremony. The video was quite amazing. Made me sad to watch it though. But it was good to look back on all the memories. After graduation it was insane trying to find anyone you knew. Just a huge crowd of random people. I found Josh and took some pictures with him before I left to go find my family. I ran into Jeff and he said everyone was looking for me. So he led me back to where everyone was and I showed my mom my empty diploma holder. lol. I hugged Sara and the rest of my family. We took some pictures and we got ready to go to my graduation party at the church. We left rather fast not really say hi or bye to anyone. I rode with Sara and I led them to the church. It was a pretty awesome to see everyone there and the layout was pretty cool. Of course the food was amazing as usual and I enjoyed that. I was glad to have Sara there and everyone that was important to me there as well. It was really important that I saw her before we both left. Her to ND and me to Myrtle Beach. After all that was over we had to take loads of food and all my stuff I got back home. I just laid around and pretty much put off my packing till the last possible second.lol.


Week of [5/27-6/2]

Well this whole week I went to SENIOR BEACH WEEK!! We left around 6am on Sun. I def. won’t go into all the details of what we did though. I mean we went to the beach practically every day, ate at some cool places. Oh another thing, we went down during the end of Black Biker Week or something..omgsh no offense, but they were the perfect stereotypes of black people…goodness…first couple of days no white people at all, hah. Well anyways we had a lot of fun down there. Met up with some people from school too. We did play a lot of Guitar Hero down there too. Oh and we can’t forget about putt-putt!! Lol. So fun! Oh and on the last day I was there I got a major sunburn..ouch did it hurt! Josh got one the day before that and Taylor got a bad one too! Well long story short, I had a lot of fun! Got back on Sat around 6pm.


Week of [6/3-6/9]

During this whole time and well since the 28th of May Sara had been gone to North Dakota, to see her brother and his wife. Sara, her mom, and her dad all went and actually got back on the 9th of June. During that whole week nothing really special happened that I can remember so apparently it’s not too important, hah. Actually I think Josh Brown’s dad worked out something with the superintendent’s secretary so me and Josh could pick up our diplomas, which we did. Finally!!! Lol. Maybe also we got our report cards.
(English- C [*B], Comm. Service- A, Cr. Writing- B, Anat/phys- N/A)


Week of [6/10-6/16]

Thurs [6/14]-On this Thursday we picked up Sara. We got it worked out where we were going to go to King’s Island on Fri. It would be a fun trip and I thought it would be even more fun if Sara would come along. So I drove with mom to go and get her. We got there later in the afternoon made a trip to Wal-Mart and headed back home. I hung out with Sara at the house for the rest of the night and dropped her back off at my grandma’s for the night.

Fri [6/15]-We woke up pretty darn early got ready and went to go get Sara from mom maw’s house. We were all tired but we didn’t sleep too much on the way up there. We just kinda listened to my Ipod and stuff. Once we got there we rode a lot of stuff. It wasn’t too crowded, but there were just enough people to make it so you couldn’t ride everything we wanted to. I rode the new ride “Firehawk” which was pretty cool, but gave me a massive headache. Before we knew it was time to go home. This is where basically everyone slept, Sara said she didn’t, but I know everyone else did except mom. We dropped her off at mom maw’s around like 2am. We got home and stumbled out of the car and def. went straight to bed. Lol.

Sat [6/16]-I woke up and actually got enough sleep but I wasn’t ready to running around the block or anything. I heard that mom maw was bringing Sara out and I barely dressed..lol. But yeah we decided to go out later and go watch Ocean’s 13, which I really enjoyed. The movie ended an hour before Sara said it was supposed to and what time I had told Rick to pick us back up. Well ironically we ran into my mom maw and paw paw Bucklen out at Wal-Mart. They offered to take us home so that’s what we did. Called mom and told her what had happened. Ironically I had left my key at the house so I climbed through my window. Lol fun fun. After a few hours went by I told mom that Sara’s mom had called earlier wanting her home which I failed to mention and she got kinda upset cause it was getting late. We grabbed some pizza on the way up there and ate it on the way up there. We dropped her off and Rick and Mom got to meet Daniel for the first time, which was a trip..lol. We came back home and I went to bed.


Week of [6/17-6/23]

Sun [6/17]- On Sunday me and Matthew went down to dad’s after church and hung out with him for a while. We gave him a gift and a card. Later I played some 360 and then we went to the pool. Came home and played some more 360. I think we actually went to eat at Shoney’s that day also. Dad dropped us back off late that night.

Thurs [6/21]- Well it was my 18th b-day!! As well as my 7-month with Sara! =). Since all my friends were busy that morning mom asked me if I wanted to go to the pool. I told her "sure." So mom, Matthew, and me went out to the Water Park past Corridor G, called Water Ways. Got out there about 11am or so and actually saw quite a few people from school. Or now I better start saying HS. lol. Amy Brennan, Sara Brasher, Austin Showen, Ashley Showen, and a couple other people. It was weird, I’ve never seen people out there that I knew. Well we stayed out there practically all day or at least till about 5pm, which was when Matthew was walking on the wooden walkway type deal and got a giant splinter in his foot. He didn’t feel too good anymore and wanted to go home. So that’s what we did. I came home and wanted to do something still with my friends. So I called up Josh and decided to go see “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.” Josh called up D, Taylor, and Chels too. So Josh came and met me and picked me up and we went to go to the movie theatre. I said hi to everyone and I got wished a happy 18th b-day. I really liked the movie it was pretty good. After the movie Me, Josh, and D all just talked for a while and then we said goodbye to Danielle. Josh took me home. He came in and we hung out for a while until he had to leave. Then I went to bed.


Weekend [6/22-6/24]

Friday [6/22]-On Friday I actually did a couple things. We dropped Zoey (our dog) off at the groomers in Nitro. We came back and I started playing this new game I got called Half-Life II, it's pretty cool. Then a bit later my grandma came and we went to go pick Zoey back up. When we got back from that mom told me and Curtis to start taking the wallpaper off the bathroom upstairs. Curtis suggested a while back that we make it into a beach theme type room, so that's what we are doing. Taking off the wallpaper and painting it blue. We actually got about half of it done, before we had to go and get ready to go out with the whole family to a birthday dinner at Rio. Once we got down there though it was packed and after a bit we decided to go to Ryan's. We went out there and it was really good. When we left, it was time for me and Matthew to go to Dad's again. I was there and just played the 360 and eventually watched the final episode ever of my fav show "Stargate SG-1" then the season finale of "Stargate Atlantis." Then I went to bed..lol. (so dramatic I know)

I woke up the next morning really late; like 11:30am or something cause I didn't go to bed till late. Then we went out to Hallmark to get Jennifer (dad's new gf) a get well card and a couple little stuffed animals...because she was in the hospital. She was having problems with her kidneys and having kidney stones..etc. So we got the stuff and went up there and stayed a while visiting and then after that we went to Logan's to eat. I really like that place, it's really good! I had chicken..no surprise there. Soon after we left and went to Kohl's right beside the place and shopped around. I got a couple shirts and well dad was the one with the most stuff by the end. After that dad decided that we were gonna go there to the Power game. Gosh we went there and there tons of people there and shoot the game lasted till about well after 11pm...whew..it went like into the 14th inning or so (yeah it took a while). But the Power won the game and it was over with. Afterwards we went to Taco Bell to grab some food and we met this guy that actually went to Nitro about 4 yr. ago and we talk a bit. Then we headed on home and went to bed.

On Sun we woke up and went to church. Afterwards we went to Shoney's in St. Albans and it was pretty good..had the bar, I think it was breakfast and just regular "home cooking" lol. Well I liked it. It was kinda a gloomy day so we didn't go to the pool. We stayed home and actually just played some more 360, lol. After that we packed our bags and dad dropped me and Matthew back off at church. After church we came home and I talked to Sara some more and I went to bed. The next day I really don't remember what I did..but most likely it was just that boring..hah.


Tues [6/26]-I went to college orientation @ WVSU. It was actually pretty fun. One of the people in charge of it was pretty funny, actually more like hilarious! lol...She was a really nice black lady talking to all of us and stuff. There was this one guy there that had a name tattooed on his neck. That lady was asking him about it and he said it was the name of his kid. She was completely shocked while still joking around, she like fell back in her seat and was like "what did you say?" lol...oh goodness...well that just goes to show that I guess college isn't gonna be all strict with no fun! But here's my class schedule...

Until Josh called me and said he wanted to come over. Well he eventually came over then we called Danielle and she came over..and we had a little pow wow until they left around midnight and I fell asleep like moments later..hah.

The rest of this week I really didn’t do too much until Fri. I really just talked to Sara and sat around..lol...


Weekend [6/29-7/1]

Fri [6/29]-On Friday I really didn’t do much as usual until around 5pm we left to go to the church. I was supposed to play Jesus for the women’s meeting. Mom was supposed to play this woman who spent everything she had to buy oils and perfume to wash Jesus’ feet. It’s just about giving it all to God “sold out” I guess. So yeah I did that and had a bit of fun. After that we went downstairs and had pizza and dessert. I thought it was pretty good actually. So after most people left mom and Rick were left talking to this couple who actually talk like immensely more than they need to, but I’m not downing them, hah. Anyways, me and Tara, a good friend from church stayed and talked a long time, well she kept me company considering I had to wait until about literally 11pm!! =(. I got home and put the food up we got from there in the fridge and went upstairs to talk to Sara. I don’t think I talked to her on the phone that night considering I was so tired. But like most every night I went to bed a while after talking to her.

Sat [6/30]-On Saturday I kinda fooled around playing Rollercoaster Tycoon until later in the afternoon mom said me and Curtis had to finish the wallpaper. Well they left to go somewhere together on the motorcycle while me and Curtis did that. We actually cranked up some music and went at it. Well it surprisingly went a lot faster than we thought. We had a steamer, which I don’t know if I mentioned before, but if you’re ever taking off wallpaper, use that!! It really helps a whole lot. Well after we got through I decided to use that steamer to press some of my shirts. Gosh it works better and faster than anything I’ve ever used before. Yep tip 2 use a steamer for clothes too..hah hah..Ok well moving on. Right as soon as I finished my clothes Mom and Rick were screaming at us to go. We were going to this youth thing at a church in Sissonville. Well we got there about 10-min late..no biggie. After that they picked us back up and we were headed down to the fireworks in St. Albans. The house I used to live in is in Nitro, which is in perfect view for watching the fireworks. Well on our way we had to pick up a lady from our church because she has a halo on her leg because she was in a wreck. We got her and headed over to the house. We got there about 9:10pm or so; 10 min before they started and watched em. Of course they were awesome as usual and we left about the time they were over; 10:20pm or so. We went back and dropped the lady of then went home. I got home and called Sara and we talked till pretty late and I went to bed.

Sun [7/1]-(short actually) Well it was hard for me to wake up that day considering I was actually dead tired. We went to church and came back. We ate the leftover pizza from Sat and I went back upstairs to play Rollercoaster Tycoon, which I think I played the whole time between then and going to church that night. We went to church again and I ran the sound for the first time in a while. I found a book of my youth leaders in the sound-room and I started reading it. It’s called “He Came To Set the Captives Free.” It’s a book about a lady who was a Satanist and she eventually turned her life over to Christ and it’s just something else. It’s insane to find out what really goes on in our country and let alone in the “metaphysical” world that would just blow our mind to see. Well we came home and I looked to see if Sara was online, but she wasn’t, so I didn’t get to call her, because I was pretty tired.


Week of [7/1-7/7]

Monday [7/2]-On Monday I was just fooling around all day. I really am looking for a job btw. Nobody seems to either 1. Need a worker 2. Want me..lol.. Eventually I was talking to Josh online and he mentioned going to Ridenour Lake to hang out with some guys. I agreed to go. He came over around 4pm and we hung out for a while before we left about 5:30pm. We got down there and met up with Taylor and some other guys and played some football and I def. had to play some Frisbee. So after a good while of playing we all went back to the cars to order some pizzas from Gino’s. We had 2 pepperoni pizzas and some stuff to drink. Well eventually it came to an end and we all left around 11:30pm. I asked Josh if we could stop at Speedway on the way home cause I wanted a 79-cent slurpie!! I wanted a blueberry one but it was all liquid..so I got cherry topped off with Pepsi..hah..interesting combo I know. So I got the biggest 44oz. and he drove me back home and dropped me off. The darn slurpie def. made me extremely cold and sick. Honestly I hadn’t even drank half of it. I saved it for the next day! I called Sara and we stayed up and talked really late.


Tuesday [7/3]-Basically did nothing at all…basic human necessities to live and stayed on here. Then later on Sara called me, then I called her back a bit later and we talked till about 2am.

Wednesday [7/4]- HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!! I woke up about 10:30am and jumped on here and did my normal stuff. A bit later Rick came upstairs and asked me where Zoey was. I told him I didn’t know and that I hadn’t seen her for a while. So it got to the point where we had officially decided that she had disappeared and that we had no clue where we went. It was just me, mom, and Rick here so I told em I would go out and look for her. Rick drove around and went on foot. Heck it was pretty hot too, it had to be at least in the 90s. But I kept looking and looking and eventually I was like God help me find her goodness. So after a long time looking I ran into this guy and asked him if he had seen her. And after going to about 2 houses I was told that she was in an apartment, which they weren’t in at the time…so we are still waiting for them to get back =(. Then after a while I talked to Danielle on here and she suggested that we go and play Frisbee at Point Harmony, so that’s what we did. Me, Mandi, D, and D’s nephew phyl all wen to play..after a while we realized it was extremely hot and that we were def. over playing..hah. Then we dropped him off at D’s house and went to Wal-Mart. We went in roamed around went to Subway had some cookies and drinks and left. Then after that they dropped me off and I came back here ate some hamburgers and sat back down here. Later Matthew and me decided we were going down to dad’s house to let off some fireworks. So that’s what we did..and let off some awesome ones. Really though the people beside us were like launching some massive ones…huge booms!! Well I stayed up playing this game we rented called “State of Emergency 2.” Gosh it was really storming that night too!

Thursday [7/5]-Well I stayed at dad’s till about 4:30pm when he dropped me off. I finally saw Zoey for the first time in days. Mom told me that the people that kept her were like majorly obsessive with her, called her princess and actually wanted to buy her. Scary people!! I went downstairs and Rick and I discussed all these cell phone plans. He’s in the process of changing companies btw. Well a little after I got home Josh called and wanted to know if I wanted to go bowling. I agreed and he came and picked me up about 7pm, I think. Well on the way down of course I had to stop at Wendy’s to get some food. Well we had fun that night. We actually ran into Matt Harris, but he didn’t’ want to bowl. So we just bowled, anyway, and stayed for a good while. Then went to Wendy’s to get a frosty, then to Speedway to get a 44oz slurpie, hah. This time I finished it though. After that we went to Wal-Mart and just roamed around. We didn’t stay that long and then Josh just stayed the night. When we got home the walls were already painted in the bathroom, Curtis and mom did them. We really didn’t get to do much since it was really late, but I called Sara and talked to her for about an hour and had Curtis and Josh talking crap while I was on there. I didn’t really care too much…doesn’t bother me, they’re secretly jealous, hah. Well we stayed up and just talked and went to bed about 4am..lol.

Friday [7/6]- I woke up around 10:30am or so and I went in to see if Josh was awake and he was partially awake and then said he was gonna leave, so he did. A little later on mom told us that we were gonna clean up the bathroom now since it was a wreck and that we needed to put up the rest of the beach stuff. So after many hours of doing that we were finished and now it looks really awesome actually! Then I jumped back on here and talked for a good while, until Sara came back on and I talked to her. I called her later on about 11pm or so and we talked till around 1:30am.

Saturday [7/7]-Everyone woke up around 8am to mom screaming at us to wake up. I went to bed too late so I was pretty tired. We were having a yard sale down at my old house so we needed to go. Finally mom just left us there. Soon enough she called and said mom maw was on her way and to get ready. So we got ready and about 20-30mins later she calls and says she’s coming. So she comes and we all go down to the old house in Nitro, and boy was it hot! Goodness long story short: we helped get stuff out, had to put a chest of drawers together (taking 4-5hrs…hah), ate pizza, packed stuff up, had major headaches from the sun, and went home…lol. We got home around 7:30pm too btw. Curtis and I were dead…literally. I took some Ibuprofen for my headache and went back upstairs. Did the usual chat chat chat…call Sara…lol.


Week of [7/8-7/14]

Sunday [7/8]-We woke up and went to church, then afterwards mom maw brought me and Curtis home. (Matthew was at dad’s) We stopped at Wendy’s beforehand. We came home and pretty much fooled around some more. Pretty much all the time till church started again that night. Sara wasn’t home Sunday afternoon because she was swimming, where she also got burnt, ouch. So I didn’t get to talk to her. At church service that night I had to play Jesus again like I did at the ladies luncheon thing, which was pretty fun once again. Also that night, Vernon one of the “assistant pastors” idk if that’s his title or not…anyways. Spoke about our relationship with God and how that was what we really needed to focus on. I know that message was for me because recently my relationship with God has been slacking, but I’m trying to do better now. It’s always a constant struggle, but I know I just have to make myself do it. Well we came home and most likely I called Sara and we talked.

Monday [7/9]- On Monday I didn’t do too much until around 1 or 2pm. Mom told everyone to get ready and we were going to go to eat with Rick. So we call got ready and went out to China Gourmet in Corridor G, where we met Rick. Afterwards we went back to Cross Lanes and went to Lowes to pick up a faceplate for our light switches in the “beach” bathroom, and then to Wal-Mart. We left there and came home. We stayed home pretty much all night. Well dad called and said that he had bought himself a new ride, ’03 Nissan Xterra. So he came and picked Matthew and me up and we went for a little ride. I filled out an application at Pizza Hut and maybe that will turn out good. I have applications at Pizza Hut, Fruth, Staples, and Blockbuster. Still no calls. =( blah. Well for the rest of the night I spent it talking to Sara as usual. Don’t get me wrong. I like talking to Sara, if I didn’t, don’t u think I would be writing something else I did every night? Hah..

Tuesday [7/10]-Did nothing until around 8:30pm, when Matt Harris came out and we went for a drive to a couple guys’ house. We all left from there went to the Great Escape Theatre. Matt just left me there so I went with Matt Layne and Jake Rieser. We went to Bob Evans and had this really nice waitress who was awkwardly over polite, but appreciated nonetheless. We went home soon after that and I came in and called Sara right away. Talked to her for a while, laid down watched TV, and went to bed.

Wednesday [7/11]- Well Sara went to King’s Island so I was stuck here with nothing to do yet again..well that is until 1:30pm, when my grandma came and picked me up. I had to go renew my learners before I get my license so I can practice some more. I went up there and they told me I didn’t have enough proof of residency some crap so I’m going tomorrow hopefully. I mostly sat around doing nothing since I really didn’t have anyone to talk to. I went to church then came back home and I had Trent to talk to. He urged me on to stay awake till 1:30 when Sara called. We talked until about 3am.

Thursday [7/12]-Well I woke up about noon and waited for Sara to get on. She woke up about 1pm. Today I really haven’t done much at all surprise surprise. I need a job. If you have any people you know that want someone then by all means call me or something! Hah. Umm well later on today I got some stuff from Subway cause I couldn’t find anything around the house…and then up till now I am getting ready to post this…I’ll keep in touch…
But moving right along….(almost the end, lol)

I really hope that I didn't forget anything...but Lord knows I probably did, hah hah...yeah…but seriously...I feel that I need to talk about something that is quite different and harder to talk about than anything I have ever talked about before...(READ THE NEXT BLOG BELOW)
