JUNE AND JULY ENTRIES

7-24-02

do you know what the most annoying thing in the world is? being forced to leave and go on a vacation that you hate and having to miss things and it just being EXTREMELY inconvenient. argh!!!!! i am also pissed because i went book shopping today to get books for my trip, but then my mother compenscated them because i will read them before we leave. dont laugh, i already read one tonight (i smuggled it into my room, and it wasnt even a short book! so now i have to find another one to replace it! booo!). so if you cant tell, im going on vacation soon, or vacay as lauren calls it, and i am not happy. it'd be one thing if we were going somewhere interesting, but nooooo. we have to go the the stupid farm where we have gone every year for the past 10 YEARS. theres nothing new to riding horses and swimming in a dirty lake. it doesnt really change. boo to it all. boo.

7-23-02

what makes me laugh is that even though i am not doing anything better, i still slack off and dont update this very often. haha? well the last few daws have been eventful? i think? i went to miami (in OHIO) aka oxford aka why are there no paneras there to visit MU. i liked it which is good because now i have a backup school which i didnt before. ahhhh security. so what else has happened... saturday i went to rjs brothers graduation party, which seemed obscenely late to me but im sure there was a reason it was in the middle of july, oh and then we watched matrix!!!!! yay!!!!! oh keanu... that is the only movie i approve you in.

grrr to the orthodontist for the pain he puts me in. well anyways yesterday at the beach was very fun. yay for shanna for coming because she is a cool girl and im happy we met. also yay for all the rest because it wouldnt be the same without them all! soooo... lets see... highlights must include erotic pancakes, skiing the frisbee, our zoo/castle that k and graham and i made, michelle and i being lazy and reading while everyone else played ultimate frisbee, tedinos (mmm pizza i approve of), and of course, the saturn trying to race. hahaha saturn. it tried but our air-conditioning requirements held it back. so then today i went with rj and k and andrew to taco bell and the thrift store shopping and then to the ortho (ouch!) and then later to rjs to pass out. im tired. nordstroms sale tomorrow! is there anything that makes me happier? not much. and then notre dame. ahhh what a good day in the making! good night all!

7-16-02

so its my little sisters bday today so happy 15 erin. anyways, yesterday was entirely random. first i woke up and worked at my daddys office for a while, then i went thrift store-ing with andrew and michelle and jacklyn. after that we dropped off michelle and went to my house, where kiran and graham joined. then we took jaclyn home to eat and played alittle frisbee which was really hot and on painful grass, so we decided to go to the pool to visit rj but when we got there he wasnt there cuz he had gone bike riding with john and company. so we played in the water and did gymnastics and then were immensly hungry so we went to IHOP where tim jackowiack was working and he gave us free drinks which made me happy(...mmmmm chocolate milk) and then we gorged, well andrew gorged the rest of us just stuffed. and then we went to johns and met up with others and the night eventually ended. beach trip tomorrow! YAY!!!!!!

7-14-02

a word to the wise: never wear flip-flops to a hardware store. im tired so thats all for today.

7-12-02

dont you hate it when things are supposed to be one way and then are the complete opposite? like for instance, cuba road, which happened to be our destination for tonight. okay well its supposed to be like the scariest thing ever and be all like haunted and such, but the only scary thing i saw was the guy that ended up being a mailbow and 2 flags. oh, also scary was the SLOWNESS of devin driving. i dont understand how someone who can run so fast can drive so slow. boo. but then all was made up cuz we went to bk and had andrew do some impressions. whoa... amber is the color my dinosaur. (thats all you graham) night all!

7-11-02

Welll... i must say that at least the last few nights have been interesting, although my illegal activities list is on the rise i assume. well anyways tuesday i had cheerleading as normal and it went very well which makes me happy and then later rj picked me up and we went to johns. but about 5 minutes later we were politely kicked out, so then rj, justin, mike, jeffy (yay jeffy for coming!), and i all piled into rjs huge wagon and went around stealing road horses and cones and orange fence. then we stopped at jeffs house and put it on some random girl that he hate's lawn. but of course, if we get caught, mike and i can only be accused of being accomplices because we did not touch anything. okay well then yesterday i stopped by at conant to try to switch my schedule which kinda worked-ish. then i went to cheerleading for 4 hours which really tired me and we didnt get as much done as we would like and BAHH! but then im all good with that. so later rj picked me up as usual and we went to johns again and listened to them "jam" to some songs with their like 20 million guitars or thats what it seemed like. and kiran and i were like having the disoriented time of our lives on the treadmill but then we were kicked out again. so we went over to meinekee to play a little frisbee but reddo was there and told us there was gonna be a weapon fight and they were all high and gonna steal the guitars i think so we left and went to soem other field. so when chris and john left we went driving down irving park road for a really really long time and we stopped at burger king and rj alomst made me walk home cuz i threatened to throw his food out the window cuz technically it was mine. and then some crazy guy who was a drug addict i assume was begging us for money and he and rj pointed at me but said they didnt. and then we went home and it took a long time.

7-8-02

god i hate boring days. and nothing starts off a day worse than waking up late so you have to rush to work at 8 in the damn morning. the only thing good about working on monday mornings is that all the people who go to hardware stores are either old or maintnance men, so theyre polite either way. so anyways, i had to punch in like over 50 pages of 5-8 digit codes. man that took a long time. and i didnt even have the stool cuz ken stole it cuz he is bigger than me and was in a bad mood aka hangover. but anyways i finally got off work, then eventually went to go pick up rj. we watched ferris buellers day off, which is possibly the best movie ever! but rj got mad cuz i could recite parts of it. how can i help but memorize such a classic? its obviously not my fault. damn you john hughes and your catchy phrasing! damn you!

7-7-02

well today seemed sort of boring. first i worked until 5ish but then andrew and i went on a sushi search adventure. we finally found some at the place he went to before. i must admit, sushi is not my cup of tea, because i dont like the wasabi or raw fish, but if it had cooked chicken instead, oh man! it was be delicious! i love that word. well anyways after that we went to andrews church and jaclyn met up and we all passed out-ish by the lake. we also read a lot of pamphlets about teen issues hahaha like feeling left out. after that we picked up kiran and went to my house to watch american pie the original. god that is a great movie. except chris kline. he is possibly the worst actor/singer EVER! i just wanted to hit him! which in my mind i did repeatedly of course. then we went to andrews church again so he could close a door and sat in their driveway until graham joined. then it was determined that we should go home, so we did. whoo hoo home!

7-5-02

yes i am lazy and bad at updating. please have patience. okay so ive been up to a lot of stuff in the past couple of days! lets see... on tuesday i went to northwestern which i LOVED and would like to go there too. oh and then i got in a car accident which was like the stupidest thing ever but still is expensive! boo to bad judgement. and then i went to cheerleading but robin was sadly in hilton head so i could not mount so i tumbled and jumped a lot. then later we went go-carting which i enjoyed. i have no major like, scheme to win except that i just try to swerve around accidents yet still cause them for other people. hahaha they never expect the redhead. then we raced along highways and hung out and such... on wednesday i visited loyola downtown. traffic was horrible so i missed my meeting with them but its no loss because that school is not quite my cup of tea. i had a really bad tour guide too. she yelled at me for wanting to be a dentist! im like, just because you dont like going there doesnt mean i dont! bah! then later andrew and graham and michelle and kiran and jenny p came over to entertain me and fell in love with my house and backyard paradise and now michelle is moving in! well to continue, we watched not another teen movie which was my first time but their like 22nd so many lines were ruined by some (cough cough KIRAN! CUT IT OUT! STOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP... cough) but i still enjoyed it. then rj and john joined us and we saw MIIB which was not as good as the first but still pretty funny... then on the fourth i went shopping with my mom and sister and i got a new bathing suit and shoes that im supposedly going to pay my mom for but i am not going to. then rj and i went to dinner at outback which was really good and i was really full after it. then we went over to michelles to meet people but got lost on the way cuz we went in the wrong way. so once all were at michelles we went to the fireworks in itasca but we had to park like a mile away cuz its was crowded and my flip flops broke and i had to walk through the streets barefoot so i got glass stuck in my foot. but the fireworks were worth it cuz they were really good even though i dont like fireworks too much. then we went back to michelles and hung out on her lawn and ate those really really good like sundaes in plastic cups from jewel. man i could eat a dozen of those cuz they are good. and the boys were being crazy and pushing cars in neutral and they did a 3 point turn so kudos to them for something i probably could not do! then rj and i went home cuz it was late... so today i had work from 8-4:30 and i was tired and we were suprisingly busy cuz it was a friday morning so i dunno why we were so busy. and then i went home and rj came over and we watched gattaca which is one of my favorite movies but i dont think rj liked it as much as i did cuz im more into that type of movie than him. then we went to drop off the movie and we stopped at his house and found out that we were gonna play ghosts in the graveyard by johnnys house. so we went over there and we played like one round but michelle and i went too early and we thought we got back to base but apparently there was no base so we "ruined the game" haha michelle is funny and we do fun stuff together... not sexually of course! then we played another game which was better but we still didnt win it cuz it was hard. oh and jenny and graham were off hiding from the first game the whole time (it was like an hour) so they were obviously making out. well we finally got tired of playing so we went back to johns house slowly and crashed on his lawn and then in his back porch thing. all in all i enjoyed the evening.

7-1-02

whoo so i havent updated this in a really long time cuz, well ive been gone. so i got back from wisconsin last night and now i am annoyably burnt in odd places such as my shins and boo to sunburn. my vacation was about how i expected it, probably cuz we've gone there for the last like 8 years now. i read a lot but thats good cuz now i dont have to worry about finishing that stupid book for english. i also got sunburnt and sick but it was alright cuz then i just slept a lot. but i got to drive the boat and the waverunners and go tubing many times so its worth it. argh im so annoyed with my mom right now because she being a smart one scheduled my notre dame appointment when i have work so now i have to cancel that and reschedule and theyre gonna think im some yahoo now. boooo to parents not reading their calendars.

6-26-02

do you ever have one of those days where you just dont like the world too much and you have a bad outlook on EVERYTHING? yeah me too. oh well im feeling better-ish now so yeah. well yesterday i had practice which went well us getting ready for camp and all but it left my previously unused for 3 months muscles in much pain. but it doesnt matter cuz we're coming along well and doogs is announcing our "as-of-now" competition squad today so im excited. well anyways, then i picked up rj and we got food for his family which is possibly the funniest family ever. then we went and played a lil kickball at meinekee (spelling?) but it flopped fast so we went home and watched i am sam. thats a sad movie but its funny too. i recommend. but then this stupid morning i had to wake up at 8:00 to drive my poppa. i dunno why he didnt take his car. what a mystery.

6-24-02

I have the world's greatest respect for anyone who can do html. IT is insane! I don't understand how people can be like, oh it's so easy. It really isn't. Well anyways its about 6:30ish and i am bored. Bore-didily-or-or-ored. RJ is teaching lessons and i have not gotten upon myself to go and call people to see whats up. that would take to much effort in this god forsaken weather. blah to all!

It is much later now and i have just gotten home from another bling-bling evening. well anyways, tonight rj and andrew and graham and john and jaclyn (spelled correctly) and jenny and andres and i all went to lou's. mmmmm that lou has some damn good food, let me tell you. kudos to graham for me not having to pay due to him! then all of us minus mooch went to graham's house for tv surfing. well, after one of the greatest seinfelds ever. it was gold jerry, gold! yay seinfeld. and then andrew gave me my ben folds plus others cd which i am listening to now which makes me happy. ahhh relaxing piano music... i could just float away...
