Dang TV

I don't watch TV for the simple fact that I will get sucked in. I CANNOT let myself get sucked in.

Well, this evening after dinner my Dad was flipping and we came upon The Bachelorette.

So, for the last 3 hours I have been watching the dang sappiest show on the planet. And I cannot turn it off.

I was sucked in. I simply had to find out what happened with the two love birds.

Crap.

This poor sap got canned.












^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So, tomorrow I will driving with my bro to Tacoma. I have to go get some Mad Libs.

ROAD TRIP!!!! How far is Tacoma from Portland? I'm gonna Google it.

OK...120 miles.

Not bad.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Oh and I finished my tribute to my two brother's softball team. Yay.

What Should I Be

I'm back to the drawing board...I again (for the 4,304 time in my life) have no idea what I want to be. How do I choose?

Can I be a hermit?

Here is a list of my interests:
I want to be a make-up artist, a biologist, a filmmaker, a photographer, a painter, a writer, a zoo keeper, a nurse, a FBI agent, a teacher, a social worker, a farmer, a world traveler, a mail woman...

I confused.

Movies

Movies are my escape.

Most were great except...
Fighting and Land of the Lost.

I have so many more to see.

Day of Rest

I went on my ride-along and it was fun. I got to see a drunk guy get handcuffed...a pretty bad accident (the driver fled though)...and on the way to the accident we got to light up and speed. Yay!

I did get called a b*tch and wh*re. That was kind of interesting.

So, apparently the drunk guy's girlfriend thought I was the one who complained or called the cops on her boyfriend. I was just standing by my door the whole time not saying anything...just taking it all in...and she keeps yelling at me. At first I didn't realize it was directed at me, but I soon caught on and turned around. One of the cops finally yelled at her and told her I wasn't involved.

I did take one picture while the cop was outside on a traffic stop. I hope that is legal.

Ride Along

Tomorrow I will be riding along with a police officer. Yay!

I am quite excited.

I even bought a new outfit (because I have sh*t for nice clothes).

This said outfit...

Grey skirt with black top and a purple tank underneath for flare.












Hopefully, this man or woman will let me ask them a million and one questions. I have 'em ready!

Going Going Gone

My brothers are on a Softball team together and tonight was the playoffs. Luckily...they won!
They got a trophy and everything.



My brothers are the bookends on the bottom row.

I f***ed up

I f***ed up today. Yeah, it sucks. It has to be the worst feeling.

On a happier note:
I got new sheets. Yay!

Parents are away...

While the parents are away...Joanna will play.
I made cupcakes...saw Harry Potter twice...and did some other awesomely mundane stuff...

I put everything in the dishwasher...EVEN stuff that is normally hand-washed...I watched Cosby Show way to many times...And I cleaned and rearranged my room at 3 o'clock in the morning.

HP6

I saw Harry Potter 6 last night. Oooooooohhh. Aaaaaaaaaahhh. Woooooooooooooo. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm.

That's all. Just needed to get that out.

It was fantastic.

I debating on whether to go see it again tonight...maybe tomorrow.

I will be reading HP7 though. Yay!














It is said to be the "adult" version, I don't know what the differences are...curious...

tattoo

Feeling 100%! I thought this day would never come!

I realized over this past week that I do not NEED coffee to survive. I can save money now!

I'm gonna need the extra money...to pay for this:



Yay!

Catch Up

After canceling everything on my calender...I became free to do nothing. I feel better about this kind of nothing because I have an excuse for my nothingness.

If I wasn't sick, I would feel horrible about doing nothing.

I am getting better...sssslllooowwly. Very very slowly. I need to quit reading up on the stomach flu. It makes me feel depressed. Apparently, these symptoms can last from 3-10 days. I am on day 3 now.

Man, I really hope no one besides my Mother ever has to deal with me when I am sick. I am such a baby.

Exhibit A




Ok, I am done. No more from me.


Now, I will attempt to watch all the movies that I own. I have also decided to play TV catch-up with Hulu. I will watch any and all episodes of all the shows I like...Always Sunny, The Office, Burn Notice...and all those summer cable shows. Yay.

Feelings

Oh, I love my Mommy.

It turns out my sickness was not just 24 hours...I got the full on stomach flu. Its been over ten years since I have been sick like this.

Horrible.

Well, my Mom was there the whole time taking care of me and cleaning up everything...

The last 48 hours has felt like weeks. The worst part is the achy feeling...I can't escape it.

Hopefully tomorrow will be much better.

good NEWS: Daddy is back from his motorcycle trip. Yay.




He and my brother Samuel went to MotoGP in Cali.

Sick of July

Sick, sick, sick...with some sort of 24 hour flu thing. I just cannot recall what it is that made me so sick. I may have eaten some bad peppers.

So, besides feeling like crap..my 4th was good. Mom and I did a couple fireworks. Yay.

Zoo...again.

Went to the Zoo again today. Yay! Trish and Eric and I went early this morning.

I got a new video camera that takes HD video, so I acquired some good stuff.

Sample:



I am also going to the zoo next week with the Head Start class I am volunteering with.

Holy Cow...those animals are gonna get tired of seeing my mug.

Jealousy

Jealousy is one of those "everyone suffers from it" kind of things, right?

I get these tiny pings of jealousy and it kinda makes me want to throw something through a window.

I hate that feeling. I would rather feel angry or disappointed or dismayed...

It's kind of consuming.

Then it passes and I feel better. I need to quit researching Canada.


This picture makes me feel better about the world













It is too dang hot outside. This is as close as I am getting to the dang sun. Dang.
