[2:53pm] What a beautiful day. I discovered the warm admiration of Rebecky today. "She posts
prolifically, often writing about such topics as cleaning her room or picking up her brother ... Her cheery upbeatness is kind of
hypnotic." If the tone weren't so sincere, I'd think they were making fun of me. But I enjoy that, too. Thank you 100%!
[10:13am] Hey kids. What a.. whatever! I went with Joey to S&J's and I met his brother and saw Jennifer T again. She was the drum major
my freshman year, so it was excellent and odd to see her again. I'd heard so much about Joey's brother that I was kinda nervous to meet
him, but that was all peaches as well. After S&Js we went to Target to visit Kristen, who hadn't seen me yet because I just got back from
Florida earlier in the day. So we located her and we whisper-shouted, "Kristen [Rudquer]!!!!" And she ran over and jumped on me and all
was well. So since our movie didn't start until 9:35, we hung around until Target closed, just tagging along with Kristen, who cracked me
up with her baby-clothes hanging antics. "It has to look full." What if there's only one item on the hanger? *scoots it to the middle*
"Oh, it's full, honey!" Then we left, on the terms that, since Kristen got off work, we would all go do something (all=Kristen,
Robertle^the nicest guy alive, other than my Joey^, me, and Joey) today. So I'm looking forward to that. But then Joey & I saw 28 Days Later. Disturbing, but it inspired a thought-process in me, which is good sometimes.
So they call the disease "The Rage", right? And Rage=Hatred, no? And I tend to think that most hatred is rooted with ignorance. So when
the infected guy goes and sees what he is in the mirror, that's knowledge, right? Knowledge cures ignorance, and the hatred, and "The
Rage." It ought to, but it doesn't in the movie. So garglesnurf. Anyway, that was my night. I'm taking my car over to the Saturn
dealership today at 1:30. Happy happy, I'm getting my A/C fixed. It's summer and the A/C is broken. Bad. But fixing today!!

[5:43pm] Okay. I'm back. Florida was lovely. I'm gonna take a shower.
061803
[7:58pm] Don't expect to hear anything from me for a while. I'll be busy soaking up the solar rays of our nearest star, the sun. Yes,
that's how summer is. Alas for you and yay for me. I'm gonna miss my friends very much, but don't cry a lot.

[4:44pm] It is a very warm-fuzzy thing to receive (I need to learn how to spell that correctly, once and for all, before I go to college)
an e-mail, saying simply, "You're beautiful." And that's it. And I enjoy sending one back along the lines of, "You're beautifuller."
[11:05am] I went to the school to pick up my diploma and drop off my brother and Tymka, and report cards were available, too. So I picked
that up as well.
061503
[11:40am] So yesterday was pretty awesome and tasty (PAAT). I went cosmic bowling with Kristen and Joey, that was entertaining. My
highest score was 123 (and I tied Kristen in that game.) I think my lowest score was like a 52 or something pathetic. Yeah. I suck. But
it was awesome fun. "So let me summarize this song, just to get it straight. I don't care if I'm drunk, just give me a bounce bounce,
toot-beep. Am I right?" "I LOVE REVERSE, GOSH DANG!!!" It was lovely.

[5:51pm] "LUMINA! AWESOME!"
[1:53pm] So much to do! I have to go to Walgreens to pick up the prescriptions, deposit my paycheck and the gift from Lynn & Charlie, get
some lunch, finish putting clothes away, clean my room, and a million other things. Sigh. Better get going.
[1:03pm] Whoever wrote that commercial for the Carefree pantyliners or whatev should get a new job. "Air... it's in the air." (Wow, now
that I look at that, air looks like a really weird word.) But you suck, Carefree writer.
[12:08pm] Happy 18 years and 1/4 birthday to me! Yesterday was the busiest day. I started off by trying to go to the mall to buy my dad a
present, but the roads were all wet, so I gave up and just took my brother to drumline practice. I got to the school and saw Joey a
little bit and then went to the office for my immunization record (which is necessary for me to go off to college.) So that sent me off
into a wild goose chase because nobody knew where it was, but three hours later I found myself with a copy of immunization record, so
that was peachy. I faxed it to the doctor's office, but they said that the doctory report thing that I gave them Thursday morning
wouldn't be done until Monday morning. GAHH! It's due Monday!! So I have to go back to the doctor's office and make sure to mail it off
on Monday. Then I went tanning and bought the dad's day present and then picked my brother up from drumline. After that, I watched Empire Records, and I think it's going to be one of my favorite movies, because of the
characters. They're all so quirky and none of them even comes close to perfect, so it's great. Then I went to work 4-8 and I worked front
register and we had a busload of Girl Scouts come in and I almost died. They made a huge mess and took forever to deal with, but we
managed to serve them and not cry too much. Then I got my check, which was for like 6 hours of work, and it was $22.40! :) That's with
all the deductions and the $10.00 that I had to pay for shoes.. but it's money. No making fun of my measly twenty bucks, okay? It's
money. After work, Joey & I went to Burke's house and we watched Adaptation, and it was
very strange. I don't think I understood the movie very well, because I'm still putting pieces together, I think. Anyway, home by 11:30,
and sleeeeep. Now I'm hungry.

[8:39pm] And for all you nay-sayers who are all determined to think that I am eight feet tall, I would like to refute that with my
doctor's office official measurement of height: 70 and 1/2 inches. Which equals out to five feet, ten and a half inches. Yeah!
[5:06pm] I never want to work frontline again. Never, ever. You know why? Because when I was working sandwiches, I never was spoken
rudely to. Oh, and I was, today. Frontline, spoken rudely to, the works. AHHHH!!! It's my freakin first day, people, why must you try and
make it harder? "Would you like to Biggie Size that--oh, sorry, you said you didn't want to.. never mind." "Yes, THAT'S RIGHT. I DIDN'T
WANT THAT BIGGIE SIZED, JUST LIKE I SAID." (Goodness!!!!!) Not the mention that I was such a mess today anyway.. sigh. I cry.
Now I go Dad's Day shopping.
[8:17am] You know what's perfectly awful? Okay, so I didn't have to work Monday-Wednesday and I was soooo happy because I was going to
get so much done--housework, laundry, organize my room, etc. I went out Monday night, and then the power went out Tuesday night. So of
course Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't get anything done that I had wanted. Argh. And I work today and tomorrow. Agh!
061103
[9:40pm] Wow, did that ever suck! (Yes!) Not the party. The party was tremendous and awesome, and I'll have to describe that to you at a
later time. What I am referring to as sucky is the gigantic power outage that occurred for roughly the last 36 hours. But, thank goodness,
it ended just when we got home from the YMCA this evening. And I am overjoyed. The only way that I could be any happier would be if I got
to talk to my beautiful boyfriend tonight. However, that may not happen. But I'm going to shoot him an e-mail and that'll be good enough
for me. But yes, I am alive. Yes, I do have a doctor's appointment at 11-something, and then work 2-5. Yes, I enjoyed my Monday off, but
the Tuesday and Wednesday were a little weak--even if I did get some beautiful shopping done and a lot of Kristen time in. Tomorrow will
be busy and crazy, especially with some Dad shopping tacked on at the end of the day. But for now, I retire because I went swimming and I
still feel like I'm floating in the shallow end of the pool. Woooooo...

[5:50pm] Yay. Tonight is Marika's party and I'm going. I got her a nice little present. I'll tell you how the party went tomorrow.
[7:43am] *Shudder* I hate 7:43 a.m. Stupid sunlight streaming into my room, waking me up. Blasted, bloody sunshine. Gah. So there are
several things I'd like to do today, the first and most important of which is to offer a big humongo giganto magnanimous
WOOT to my friend
Keeblerianaofjakalsda because I am so happy for her.
And then the next thing will be to start cleaning my room. (This isn't a thing that I'd specifically LIKE to do, but it's on my list of
things TO do.) Then call Keebie and go tanning and pick up a Germantype present for Marika, whose going-away party is this evening at
Parkton Pool. I don't know quite what to get her: honestly, I wasn't the closest of friends with her, but I think it'll be fun and I like
giving presents, so yeah. And then after all that running around, I'll finish cleaning my room because I probably won't finish in the
morning (darn re-runs of ER have me hooked! no wonder it was a hit for like 9 years or whatev!) And then I'm going to organize my CDs and
scrapbook and try to even do some laundry before the big partay. We'll see what happens.

[11:55am] I realize, after reading my last edition of WGI's newsletter thingy Focus, that I cannot
live without winterguard. Rhodes will simply have to comply with my wishes on this and I will have to start the first winterguard there.
We may suck, but we will exist. And if it's only me on the guard, I'll cry. I just can't handle a distinct lack of winterguard in my
life. Looking at pictures of Fantasia and everybody in the world (which I'll show you later), I break down. I need winterguard a lot.
060503
[7:15pm] Wow. I am quite tired. Shower time. And then I'll tell you about all the lovely people at Wendy's.
[11:02am] A quick trip to the tanning place and then home. I bought THE CUTEST swimsuit yesterday.
Everything is just peachy except that I have to work 2-7 today. It'll be okay, though. I don't mind the actual work I do, it's the
waiting around forever and ever for the little clock thing to tick away my five hours that gets on my nerves. I like the people okay,
too. I'll just go tanning and get myself into a nice sunny mood for work. And things will be pleasant. They have to be, or I'll never
make it through the shift.
060303
[12:53pm] I don't want to go to work today. It's a 4-hour shift and I'm sad. But I had a really good morning - Kristen and I went to the
high school to clean out our band lockers and I found like all my winter clothes and I saw Joey and Chris B and it was wonderful. And
then Kristen and I went tanning and she has so many freckles!!! It's awesome. My stomach hurts a lot. I should take some Pamprin and then
get ready to go to work.
060103
[9:56am] I am so happy. So. Happy. What a wonderful world. Last night Shawn, Kristen, Joey and I went to the movie theater and saw Wrong Turn. Where that movie was not so awesome, my friends and fellow moviegoers are. "That was a
nice shot!" "*GRUNT*" "*giggly*" "Wehrenberg!" Hahaha. Fun. I'm happy.
