Hello again.
I was recently reading this going through old entries.
It's amazing how things can change so fast.
I leave for North Carolina on Saturday, then going down to South Carolina...
coming back, driving to Indiana. Picking up Kevin and we're going to Cleveland.
All of this in a matter of 9 days.
Late nights, early morning, good times.

It's been two months since I last logged in.
A ton of things have changed.
My dad died on xmas eve.
I graduated high school.
I start college on Thursday.
[not looking foward to that]
I went to a ton of great shows this past month.

&& you wanna know what's crazy....

there's this boy... and i used to have a huge crush on his best friend.... he developed a crush on my best friend... then we developed a crush oh each other... funny how things work out. I feel ten times happier with him.

.... so yeah. Things are quiet around here.
it's just my mom and me living in the house now that my sister is back in Iowa.
Loosing my dad is one of the hardest things I've ever gone through.

It's been a while since I updated last.
School + work has been a complete overload that I wasn't ready for.
Went to a few good shows, DTB, Queers, Bouncing Souls, Whole Wheat Bread.
I took the day off on thursday so I can see RBF and Streetlight. I think really I just want to dance.
I went on a solo roadtrip to Iowa to visit my sister.
That was lame.
This weekend I met a pretty rad boy at IKEA.
His name is Jeff.

[ Sometimes I just wish that people would leave me alone.
Maybe I just get over things too quickly but,
if there isn't anything worth pushing for then why push? ]

Graduating high school in January has completely stressed me out.
GAAAH.

I don't want to go to college.

Thursdays are designated fun days...

2006-06-20T05:50:06Z

thursday's are my only days off of work so they have offically became designated fun days for Neill and me. Last thursday we went to Millenium Park and Navy Pier. We got a huge list of things we want to do and I can't help but be excited!

The bean.

I was smoking and we happened to walk past here on our way to Navy Pier.

You probably can't tell but that thing was like 8ft tall.

On that giant Faris Wheel that never stops.

&& finally the train ride home... too bad you can't really see Neill's awesome shirt.

Another public post...

2006-06-06T06:05:02Z

This weekend was the fucking most amazing weekend ever!

Thursday I finished school so we went out celebrating and what not.
Friday Lex, Lynt, Jo and myself went to six flags again. Then when I got back Ryan came over and yeah...
SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY! Neill and I took a train downtown around 2ish, then we walked around trying to keep ourselves busy until Dani called. Finally 6 rolled around and we met up with Dom, Billy, Kyle, Bobbie, Dani and Cameron and went to the show. Billy was kicked out before it even started but being the master of disguise he is he managed to get back in! Wahahaha.
Aquabats were amazing to say the least and Whole Wheat Bread was just as good the second time around.
Here's some photos!

These were from before the show...

Those are the only two from the party that we went to afterwards. That's Cameron.

And finally Neill and me on the not so sober cab ride to union station.
Haha, our train got delayed on the way home cause they were having trouble with a drunken woman in our car. Man oh man was that amusing! Hahaha. June 3rd was like the best day ever!

Here's a public post.

"can I get these individually bagged?" Haha. 40oz night at Bill's.

Neill took this while I was dacing at work.

God, I love my job. Check out that giant dent Nikki put in that machine!

That was saturday night. Best night I ever spent with a ghost! Teehee.

So yeah, I met some really cool people. Mainly on behalf of Adrienne.
Neill and I are going to see the aquabats with Dani, Nic, Dom and Billy.
&& I offically became an aquacadet. Next time you see me ask me for my super cool identification card.
Arrrgh... this weekend wore the shit out of me.

I haven't updated in a while to say the least.
Things have been going great for the most part.
I've been putting in 25-30 hours a week at the old DD.
Soon I'm going to be getting my raise, that's exciting.
They're also making me "shift leader" which gets me a name plate. Haha I'm really going up in the fast food world!
Spring ~~Break~~ Broke was awesome, I did a lot of driving, a lot of boozing and a lot of working.
I got into a 21+ show last friday, which was amazing!
And I saw Metric play on the 23rd which was even more amazing!
So in summary, everything with everyone has been great.

Yeah, that night was fun to say the least.

This weekend was absolutely amazing.

I have fun in the bathrooms of the rivermill.

Homeless in Baraboo.

Lex homeless, in sunglasses and an Abercrombie hoodie.

I did yoga on the streets of Baraboo.

Cliffie passed out... what a stud!

I can really whale.

God that was such a great weekend. I love Lex. I love smirnoff.

These are laughable.

This one is from like a week ago..... these other ones are from last night.
[yes... I have ridden the same carasel four times in the past three weeks and yes it has been a blast everytime]

Brad and Rick. They acctually are real cowboys... believe it or not.

That's Alexis. She's a cow chick too.

I wanted a mustache.

Now that I think about it a week of being grounded isn't all that bad. It just sucks cause I won't be at the pool hall for a week and we'll have to put off the big night for yet another week and that sucks. My mom really does let me slide with too much shit though so I don't blame her for finally getting fed up with me. Oh well. I work just about everyday next week but saturday night so I won't be too bored. Maybe I might even have time to start on that book I was going to write. Haha!

I thought this one was worthwile and fun.

Waste Basket show on the 20th was fucking amazing. To all of those who didn't go... you really missed a good one! I met up with Claire and Nicole at the show, they're fun... I guess I'm learning to give people a chance. We danced danced danced. Kids were going onstage and skanking... man they really won over the entire crowd. I stuck around with Dom & the rest of the WB CREW until they got paid and we left. Later that night he got into a car accident and that's kinda suckes... he's just gotta get a new hood. I think I might be making a road trip out there this weekend providing that my invite still stands. I met a couple cool guys before the show too, they're 15 and 17 from West Chicago one of them is named Aaron and I can't remember the other kid's name. They wanted to hang out but I donno.... I gave them a false number.

I was so happy to be there you can barley tell by the expression on my beautiful face!

It's a game! Five points per pelican.

For some reason my sister and I gave pictures of us to our parents and they loved it! In fact I think I may have seen a tear.

I'll have to send this one to gangsta' jay, he'd be proud.

I thought with a disguise like that they'd never notice it was me robbing them blind. Waha.

"thank you for choosing this airline... what ever air line it is"

Now this outfit might get me a seat in first class!

I swear I was trying it on for my grandma.

Wahaha, just thought I'd share those.

Two days until the WB show and I dance my fucking ass off the chains until the horses go in and the rosters start making noice. Man, I'm so excited. WB CREW 4-eva!

Last night Dom, Mohawk Billy and me hit up the town. We hadn't even been in the car for five minutes before we got pulled over. That was funny just cause the cop lady looked like Trudy from Reno 911. Then she kept asking Billy how he did his hair and whatnot. After that we hit up downtown wheaton for promoting and got into the show for free, that was suh-weet. Some 14 year old girl asked to take a picture with Billy, then she grabed his ass..... CELL PHONE.... Steve-o! Wahaha. Show in the 20th is gonna be great.

Call me crazy but some believe I met god the other night....

So this guy comes in to my work and it's cold and raining out and I notice that he had been walking. He approached the counter and offers to clean up the store, take out the garbage, sweep, anything for a free donut or two he tells me he just got a job and gave me the location which is about 2 miles away so I told him not to worry about it I'd give him coffee and donuts for free. I made him coffee and gave him two donuts and he insits he help me clean up the store a little but I decline and tell him not to worry about it. He tells me he gets his first pay check next friday and that he would pay me back then, I of course told him not to worry about it and he says thank ya ma'am there's finally a good person in the world. I tell him he's welcome and that I understand, then he says god bless ya... after that I watch him walk down north ave and someone ordered a coffee on drive thru then miraculously the cream machine [which had been broke for about two weeks] starts working again! After that I tried out the hot chocolate machine [which had been broken for only a day] it was also working. Now that's weird... the night guy comes in I tell him the story and he insists that I infact met god or jesus christ himself, once my shift ended and I left both machines stopped working.

Now that my friends is fucking weird.

I got a damn ticket on my walk home from school today.

Possession of tabacco product under 18 -- $25

I've been walking that route home for over a year now, always smoking and I finally got a ticket. Stopped traffic too! wahahaha and no I didn't learn my lesson, my underage nicotine addiction still lives on.

Dude....

2006-01-08T18:39:53Z

Last night was like run into everyone you haven't seen in months night... it was interesting. I saw Amanda, Ashley Sic, Andrew, Amy, and Tree Sap. It was nice. Also Dom brought over the Waste Basket dvds so I got to watch them which just got me more pumped for the show. Waste Basket is gonna fucking tear the roof off of the wheaton grand and blow the minds of the christian ska bands they play with. You all better be in attendence!

I thought it was nice.

Is it true, when we get old our hearts die
I heard it in a movie once and I think I know why
Life can suck so bad it makes you wanna die

Holidays are so lame.

Today in my family, we celebrated christmas. It was utterly boring for the most part [excluding cigarette time with Adrienne of course] trash talking my one aunt was pretty fun also. I got a sewing machine now I just need to get it to work. I don't think I get to see Dom before I leave for vacation but I'm willing to drop any plans to hang out with that kid, you got that straight?

In other news I ordered an iPod nano yesterday in addition to three books and a cd. I only recieved one of the books so far and I won't get the rest untill I come back from Florida. The warm weather should be nice.

"Untouchable Face"

think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
i could make you happy you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but
you're perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
and who am i
i bet you can't even tell me that much

two-thirty in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
a safe haven of sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down
the top 20 country songs
and out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
y'know, i don't look forward
to seeing you again soon
you'll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won't know what to do
and i won't know what to say

except fuck you...

i see you and i'm so perplexed
what was i thinking
what will i think of next
where can i hide
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
i see orion and say nothing
the only thing i can think of saying

is fuck you...

I love love love this song, Ani Defranco is a wonderful artist.

My TH4NxGiiViiN' was raw.
This past week was real busy for me, I spent a lot of time with Junie and Adrienne which I liked a whole lot.
Yours, Mine and Ours was well done! Seriously, the worst movie I've seen in a while. Ugh.
Adrienne and I decided to bring back some new words.

Alright, here's some new words I've picked up thanks to a few hours with the family.

Cashed = it's dead, done for, gone.
Raw = man, it's fucking off the hook, it's awesome, great!
Well done = it fucking sucks, terrible, ew.
Medium = it's alright, just average.
Medium well = Below average.
Medium rare = Above average.

Use it in a sentance:
My thanksgiving dinner was great, the turkey was raw.
Leaving early to go to work though, man that was cashed.
Adrienne came to visit me for most of my time at work however and then we got some medium coffee and medium rare ice cream at the local denny's which was the only thing opened besides the drunkin donuts.
My mom wouldn't let me sleep at her house cause she's well done... stupid moms.

&& That's my lesson for the night kiddos, hope it was raw.

Dom came here last night, it was radtacular.
&& My parents seem to be alright with him now, so that's cool.
Also, apparently a friend of his cousin goes to school with me.
Today I bowled and spent time with my cousin, Junie.
Oh yeah, and I got my nails done yesterday. They're zebra striped!
