MALES!!!

Males are so stupid sometimes!... actually, it's a lot more often than "sometimes"... we women just don't tell them that. :)

I'm IMing with my cousin, and I mention that one of my friends (the one that he "dated" for a little while) was asking about him. He thinks that maybe he should give her a call. I ask him what he could possibly have to talk to her about, since they never really talked when they were "dating". He said "stuff" and he also said that he wanted someone "new" to talk to... I asked him how she could be "new" since he obviously knew her when they were dating. He asked me for her number and I told him "No". He proceeded to try and brib me for it. First, he offered $40... the next time, he offered $100. I know it was stupid, but i didn't take the money. ;) I wouldn't do that to my cousin.

I just wish that he could understand that them talking and being friends makes me uncomfortable. It made me uncomfortable when they were dating, so, naturally, I will be uncomfortable if they become friends. I don't like to be uncomfortable with my family, or around my friends... it's just not friendly!

How come?

Michael.. how come you never post a comment on my blog? I read every one of your blogs, and I post a comment on almost every one... well, most of the newer ones, and what do I get for it?.. NOTHING! That just shows me how much you love me... your own wife! That tells me just how much you love me.. which is not at all!

Well.. just see if I don't get you a woman's shirt for your birthday and force you to wear it! Maybe I'll make it a belly shirt. Yeah.. and I'll make you wear it to school the next day. FWAH FWAH FWAH! After that, we'll just see how much you come to appreciate me!

So much fun

I had so much fun today, hanging out with my friends! We didn't really do much, but I think it was just fun talking... we're hilarious together... we have such odd conversations, but we amuse ourselves, and that's all that matters, right?

We just went for icecream and hung out at the Rock Garden. Then we had to pick up Michael from school, because he actually has to be there... fwah fwah fwah! Then, the few of us that remained after we dropped Matt off and the Plaughers left, when downtown and walked through the bazillion antique shops that are down there. There was some pretty neat stuff in those shops... old German bibles.. old, shiny jewelry... lots of pretty stuff.

The only sad part about today was that we didn't get to force Brittany into a highlighter pink dress because there was this painter and his ladder all up in the way of the entrance to the dress shop, so we couldn't get. Stupid painter and his fat ladder!.. not that I'm bitter about it or anything.

Seriously, though.. if that highlighter green dress ever gets down to about $20, which it probably never will, but I can still hope can't I, I will so totally buy it, just because it's so freaking awesome. I love big, poofy dresses like that. They remind me of when my friend, Alicia, and I used to make dresses and play dress-up... I miss those days! I hate growing up! If I could, I would wear big, poofy, pretty dresses every day of the week, except that I would overheat in them, but hey, maybe I could sweat some of my weight off and not be fat... that would be great!

I can't believe it!

I can't believe that Brittany went and tad and pamponed Katy's car without me! That just makes me want to do something evil to her car... though I won't because I can't. Then, Katy and Brittany go off and "gnome" Jessica's house. So, she wants retribution, and I think I might have to help her come up with something to get them back, which I will enjoy oh so much. "It's gonna be big.. it's gonna be SO big!"

Jess.. they probably got the idea for the gnoming from Halo. So.. have you figured out what you're going to do to achieve your revenge? If you give me a few days, I'm sure I could come up with some suggestions. ;) I really wanted to plastic wrap Katy's car, but I don't think that's going to work, because, supposedly if it's on there in the heat, it will peel off her paint, and I don't want to cause any damage to her car. So, not being able to do that, led me to the tads and pampons idea. Just let your imagination run wild with it, and discard all the ideas that might be too mean, or cause physical damage to her car, because that would be unfriendly. :)

While we still have time

Today, I got to spend a few hours with some of my friends, most of which I haven't seen in months, it seems like. Having been given this opportunity, I realized a few things about college life. One, I don't want anyone to leave, and two, we need to hang out as much as possible before everyone is gone and we can't do it anymore. True, when it does come time for those who are leaving to head off, us hanging out more often will make it harder to let them go, but at least we'll have some fond memories to look back on until we can get together again. I would rather remember spending a night with my friends playing Twister than remember them fighting during our senior year. If we don't make any summer memories, we will all be forced to remember just the ones from school. And, let's face it, they weren't all that pretty!

I'm fond of "good memories" and I would like to have some of all of my friends in one place. I realize that it's a little too close to fall to have that wish come true, because some of them have already left to move in, or whatever, but I can still get together with the ones who are still here; I have got to remember to bring a camera with me whenever I know I'll be with my friends... note to self, even though I will forget. Anyways. We need to make our "good memories" before it's too late.

I'm so happy!

My friend, Alicia, came over to visit me yesterday. She lives in Florida, but she and her boyfriend were up in Akron visiting his family for a reunion or something, and, since she was so close, they stopped by so she could spend time with me and my family.

I'm so happy that I got to see her. It's been over a year since I last saw her, and that's a long time, if you consider that we went four years seeing each other every day!

The only thing I wish was different was the amount of time we had together. We had less than one day to catch up on a year's worth of life. Actually, it was less than that, because she also had to catch up with my parents, whom she hadn't seen in over two years. I had to get up really early this morning, so I was gone before they woke up ( I could have woken them up with me so that I could have said good-bye, but I figured that they really needed the sleep since they had a three and a half hour drive back to Akron and then they had to catch a plane at 5).

I really wish that she and I could spend more time together! Don't get me wrong, I love my friends up here, but they all have a past together that I don't share with them, so it's hard for me, and I just wish that I could have someone close who has shared part of my past with me.

I love this game!

Over the weekend, I was taught how to play this great game. It's not complicated and it doesn't require too much thinking, so I love it. The game is called "Screw Your Neighbor." I know the title sounds a little odd, but that's part of what makes the game fun. The game, itself, is a lot like rummi. There are a few different rules, but it's mostly the same. The overall objective is to, of course "screw your neighbor." You're supposed to do everything you can to make your "neighbor" lose the game. If you want to learn more about it, I can teach you, just give me a call or write me and e-mail and we can get together and play. The only thing I suggest is that there be more than two people... the game is a lot more fun with three to four people... I'm not sure how high you can go, but I'm sure it would be fun to figure it out! ;)

Why do they have to leave?

My friends are dropping off like flies... not in the dying sort of way, but they keep leaving me. Last week, Aunty Boo left to go home. Yesterday I found out that Heather is leaving on Monday for college, which means that I won't see her until Christmas, or something like that. Brittany and Jessica leave in September. At least Mommy isn't leaving me anymore.

All the people I've grown fond of seeing all the time are going to be gone. Sure, I'll be able to talk to them on the phone, but that's not the same as seeing them and talking to them in person. I get tired of talking on the phone, but I could talk to someone face-to-face for-probably-ever.

I get so tired of losing friends. It happened all the time when my dad was in the navy. I had to leave so many friends behind when he got transferred. The only difference this time is that I'm not the one leaving... it's them. The worst part is that I'll never know when I'm going to see them again because we'll all be busy with college, and probably won't talk all that much. I probably won't know they're going to be here until they're already here. I hate being the last one to know everything!

Oh well. I can't really change anything, so I'll stop whining now... but only for a little while. ;)

College

I will be starting college in roughly two months, and I'm not even close to being ready for it. I don't want to have to be in school again!

I have my orientation scheduled to go on in about two weeks, but, before I go to that, I have to take a couple placement tests; one test for French, and another for math. Knowing my luck, I'll probably end up in the lowest classes possible! I don't really think that about French... I'm sure that I can test out of at least French 101! :) But math... now that's a different story.

It seems like I haven't even begun preparing myself for what I should expect from college. I think that's mostly because I want to put it off until the last minute so that I can have as much fun as possible before I start to worry about it. That's probably not really a good thing, but hey, I'm good at procrastinating!

Good luck to everyone who is moving away for college. I hope you enjoy the time away from your family... I wish I could be so lucky! Actually, I would prefer living at home as opposed to a dormroom, but that doesn't mean that I won't want to strangle my family every now and again!
You guys who are going away better come and visit me when you guys are back for holidays and stuff! If you don't, I will track you down, tie you up and make you talk to me! Actually, I wouldn't do all that... not all the hard stuff, anyways. I would find someone else to do the hunting and the tying up. :)
Good luck, y'all!
