Oil is not your amigo...

Whats crackilattin’ my home slices?

ROTFL

Sorry I’m a LLITTLE hyper and bored…

So today I was frying up some chicken for lunch and I heated the pan and then poured a little oil in. Two seconds later I look at the oil and its smiling at me  No joke, and it wasn’t a nice, happy face smile either, it was an evil clown looking smile with rigid edges…needless to say I am now scared of oil…

Later, I met up with a sooper kewl buddy of mine at Starbucks (heaven on earth). After we chatted for a wee-bit, I left and went to my car, it was raining and I left my windows down…3 of them.. SO I sat on a notebook all the way to Target in Stow  By the time I got there it was Pouring down rain!! And there were no close parking spaces. I got out and started walking, getting soaked within seconds and I couldn’t run very fast cuz I had non-runable-in shoes on....go figure...I finally got to the door walked in and stopped. There was a lady standing right in front of me, facing me. I had gone in the exit door. She starred at me and gave me the look down, she was obviously thinking “what a loser”, so I said “umm its raining…and then laughed”, she said “yup”. Then I walked away…it was rather amusing..  

Anyway those are my exciting stories from today...

Have a magnifulous day and a fantabulastic tomorrow!

I'm not dead, I didn't get deported to China and I did not shave my head and join the Army

I'm actually doing well and very busy. I got back from the missions trip to West Virginia last Saturday, which went really well. I think I've told the whole 10 days events like 14.9 million times so I'll just show you a couple pictures out of the 500 I took and write captions here and there....

This is the church we stayed at. It actually used to be a radio station, so alot of the rooms you could tell were little stations for DJ people and stuff like that. It was a sooper kewl building.

The next two pics are at a place we went to on the first day called Cedar Ridge Camp. It had tons of high rops and low ropes courses and had to do with building untiy in our group and also showing Biblical Principles through different activities we did. It was awesome..

This is my foot walking across a poll that was 45 feet in the air. This Challenge was called the Catwalk (my favorite  ). The object was to pass the other person coming towards you on the other end without falling...it was so fun! After I passed my partner (Liz) I danced the rest of the way

This is me looking down at everyone..I was the only one to take my camera up the polls cause there was no where to put it while climbing them, so I stuck the string of the camera in my teeth and didn't drop it! Thank goodness...

All the girls stayed at different peoples houses from the church, and one night at our house Laura broke out her glow sticks and we taped them to the fan then turned off the lights!

Then I took another one right after Laura and got her Flash in my picture and it came out awesome..but it doesnt look good there...darn it

I love this picture. This is at VBS. We put it on for three days, I wasn't looking forward to it but I actually had fun with my little 4 and 5 year olds....

At VBS if you brought so many friends you got to throw a pie in the face of one of your leaders...so David was the lucky one and Noah threw the pie...lol

This is Laura at Ryan's (Buffet) showing us her regular candy corn in her left hand and her Albino candy corn in her right hand. It was a shocking discovery so we had to take a picture...

This is me getting run over by a cannon...those things are HEAVY... This is at Antietam Battlefield. We went there to have our quiet time. We got to split up and go wherever we wanted. This place was huge and amazingly beautiful. The ony down side was that it was 105 degrees and humid as ever..  

This is Joe through a Pirates of the Carribean telescope Becca got at Mcdonalds...lol

This is a game a made up with Lexi. I found a bunch of rubber fish next to the pool and decided to name them all sumthing that rhymed with Nemo, then I would throw them in the pool and Lexi would rescue them... this one is Wemo..

Outside of the church there was a steep staircase and it had this wall thing next to it so Me Amber and Lexi were Gargoyles....rargh..

We went to D.C. for two days and one day we worked at Marthas Table, which is a Soup Kitchen type place. We made lunches, some served the homeless and others helped fix their fences. This was in a pretty bad neighborhood...

This is Me and Lexi: the Sexy Cooks at Marthas Table...lol

This is our group praying right in front of the White House. Very kool.

This guy was walking up and down Pennsylvania Avenue (White House Street) with a sign that read "The FBI killed my family" and he was dragging a flag behind him that said "FORSAKEN" on it...it was pretty sad..

That night we went to the Hard Rock Cafe. I think the building and everything inside was better then the actual food...for 16 dollars it didn't taste very good...but they had awesome art work on the ceiling!

Yes they were really sleeping.. This is in the van on the way back to West Virginia. We had the van that had no AC and it was over 100 degrees.....all the people in the back had sweat dripping down their faces and sweat droplets on their arms while we waited in traffic for 3 hours. It was a nightmare..

We got back and had one more night with our adopted families and the next morning it was time to go..were on our way home..I'm wearing Kyles mega kewl hat from Hard Rock and Becca is doing Kyles hair in tiny braids..

Amber french braided my hair....lovely

This was at a rest stop, I thought it was kewl how it dissaperas into the clouds...

Then I decided to give everyone the dreaded black spot..don don don....

Then we arrived in beautiful Ohio. All in all it was fun and an eye opening experience.

 We took over the service Sunday and told everyone about it...woo-hooo

Chow,

All work and ALL play.....can I do that? :-D

I'm just now getting over a nasty flu, it only lasted about 3 days, but I would rather have to throw up 5 times in one day then have to have a burning, sore throat for any length of time. I also missed a day of work which sucks.

Speaking of work. Its going well, I officially know how to make anything in our food court place and Pizza Hut, even though I'm not even going to be working there anyway....Starbucks finaly comes in on Monday so then I'll begin that training, which I'm stoked about!

AND my boss, Victor, loves me....He also told me his boss loves me too... Brownie Points

I just (30 minutes ago) finished my moms christmas present. I thought of the idea for it 2 days before christmas and didn't have time to make it. So I told her its coming, then I didn't like one idea I had for it so I was kinda stuck for a while then this weak "EUREKA!" I had a brilliant idea. Shes really into Moose and lodgy type stuff, so I found this -how do you explain it- slab of wood that came right out of a tree...its oval shaped and has the rings that show its age you know? Anyway I drilled 4 holes in it in a row, then painted a moose and some trees and then wrote ''keys'' above the holes and filled the holes with rods for holding keys. So she can hang it by the front door and people can put their keys there...anyway it turned out nice I'm proud... 

So for her it really is "Christmas in July"

What else has happened in that last month....O! I went to see "Wicked" at Playhouse Square! It was sooooo incredible! If you ever have the chance to see it go. It was so clever and very entertaining. If you don't already know, a guy -Gregory Maquire- wrote a novel about the lives of the wicked witch and the good witch from the "Wizard of Oz" before the actual "Wizard of Oz", and "Wicked" is based on that novel.

I watched "Lord of War" today, It was really good and really sad, But I love Nicholas Cage...I also saw "Nacho Libre" haha...odd but funny..Jack Black is hilarious

I've kinda narrowed down what I want to pursue, I'm thinking Creative Communications and specializing in Theater and maybe Radio and see what happens from there..then I was also thinking about going to Culinary School too....hmmm...decisions, decisions... I'm just happy to have some clue as opposed to "I have no idea"...I'm sick of saying that...

I have to work tomorrow one to nine thirty...mega suck I don't like working on Sundays...

I just killed an ant on my wall...with that being said I'm gonna go watch Saturday Night Live...good stuph...

Farwell to Mabel

Yes its true, the time has come..

Mabel My Mighty Bronco is mine no more...

No more being taller than most cars and having to hop UP into my car

No more 4 wheel drive for snowy days and muddy fun...

No more being able to be a traveling Garden....

No more having to prop open the back door with a snow scraper...

Last but not least, No more Bumper Stickers!! I will miss them so...

Farwell Mabel you served your purpose well...

This is a tragedy; having to sell my car for another one thats 10 years newer that I don't even like as much as Mabel.. Needless to say it was not an easy transition..I got my "new" old car a little over a week ago and I'm still getting used to the fact that this isn't a joke and I'm stuck with this car for a very long time unless I miraculously win the lottery or something...yea..

O well I guess beggers can't be choosers and I'm grateful for something to get me here and there, it does get good gas milage, only has 40 thousand miles on it and no rust but i cant get over the fact that its PLUM...which is right there with purple..my LEAST LEAST favorite colour in the world...I don't know maybe God's trying to tell me something..."Shutup and stop being a whinney baby"...ok

On a happier note my job orientation went well, I got paid to sit in a chair for 3 1/2 hours and watch Target safety and policy videos... Talk about awesome...There was like 20 of us crammed into this itty bitty room and the girl on my rightwas saying she was going to kill herself the whole time because it was too long and the guy next to her was weird...while the guy on my right was nice and didn't talk much (not bad lookin either) Apparently the girl knw this guy and would ask him questions every 2 seconds, he tried to be nice but I could tell he was annoyed with her...when we were leaving she was like "Greg I'm so happy we'll be working together" He just looked at her and didn't say anything! hahaha it was the highlight of my day...

Well since skool is out-hallelujah- I'm gonna spend most of my day cleaning my room/bathroom to be as immaculate as possible...then off to a Bible Study at Nancy's and possibly shoppinng, I own no khakis and that all I can wear for Target.. figures..

I think I'm going to change my middle name to "BUSY"..... o goodness this ones a longy

Let me see the past few weeks have been boring busy but this last weekend was fun and interesting busy.

Friday I met Amber at Paul Mitchell hair place at around 9:45am. My hari dressers name was Kat (kewl name) She started on my hair while this other chick did my nails...let me tell you this chick was more obsessed with fixing her own nails then mine..she wasn't even good at it either.....Kat loved my hair and it only took her an hour and a half to do it!

Usually it takes 3 hours...... 

Curls! I love curls...

..and by the time I got out of there my nails were already messed up! So I ended up just doing them myself...but they didn't charge me for them either so that was nice...

Then Liz and I went to Renees work so she could do my make up. I decided to be a fairy so she was gonna do my makeup all krazy...

this is her doing it...

this is me fixing it...

After that, Liz and I discovered the best dollar store in Ohio! Its called Dollar USA (I think) and its in Aurora. I got my wand there...every fairy needs her wand..

Then we all met up at the Skool, and took pictures till the usual late people showed up..

This is the only full body shot I had of me, you can' see my wings very well though..

This is Sara and Me..

(suck kinda blurry)and these are my good friends Justin and Stu, you go with your bad selves..

We took Professional Pictures at my Grandmothers house cause its ginormous and gorgeous. Stu was funny, he was like, "woah, I feel like I'm on an episode of Cribs!"

Then we went to the Carousel Dinner Theater in Akron and saw "Greese". It was soo good and hilarious! After that we went Cosmic Bowling, lotsa fun - I kinda scuffed up the floor a little cuz I bowled with my boots on...shhh..-.

Got home at around 3:00am in bed by 3:30, dead tired. Got up at 8:30 and we all went to Vince's House for breakfast, then went to see Over the Hedge...lol it was cute. Then we went to set up for my friends weding shower, and thats where hell broke out. I'm not gonna go into it but basically vince said something that was taken the wrong way and turned into a 2 hour discussion/lecture, then me, Stu and Justin got introuble for defending him. O MY GOSH I WANTED TO KILL SOMEBODY! Thankfully Vince, Stu, Justin and I finally got to leave and go to Vinces house for dinner and a bonfire like planned. I wish I could go into details but I can't...nerve racking I know..needless to say my principal hates mine and Vince's guts...

Got home late again and of course I had to stay awake for SNL! woo hoo!, but I was so physically and emotionaly exhausted it wasn't even funny. Got to bed at around 2:30am and got up at 8:00, and went to church. Were talking about the Da Vinci Code Movie/Book...interesting stuph..then what else did I do... I don't even remember....O thats right, I went to starbucks with 2 of my sisters.

 Then I went to Bethany's house then we went to see Little Women the musical....it was..um....good... We kept getting hit on by this guy in Ghettoville, at a gas station, he was kinda creepy...we got back to her house and Beth, Amber Jon and I talked outside on the deck, it was chilly so Jon made us killer hot chocolate! Yummy.. Amber left and then we went inside, grabbed blankets and warmed up and the couch. You don't realize how cold you are till you go where its warm, if that makes sense. Bethany fell asleep and me and Jon talked until like 1:30am then Bethany woke up and kicked me out...lol 

Last night this group called Heartsong came to our church and did a concert for us, they were really good. In the parking lot I blocked Josh in..muwhahahaha I got alot of weird compliments, Chris said I looked like a gothic country singer, Alex said I looked like Princess Layla and Tom said I looked like that lady from Adam's Family. lol thanx guys...I think... Then Joe was like I think josh went outside, but really he said that so I would go outside, because Josh and Brian blocked me in and Josh put one of those steering wheel things so you can't drive on my steering wheel! haha it was hilarious, then josh stayed longer so I couldn't go home...I'm already planning my sweet revenge...hehehe

O! one more thing (this is long I apologize)

The Monday night My dad was getting ready to leave for Toledo, and hes like, "I might have a surprise for you" and I'm like, "what!?! what is it?" and he wouldn't tell me I tried severalmanipulative techniques but nothing.. all he said was that he might be able to tell me more when He calls the next night. So Last night he called and I'm like, "ok tell me!" and he said, "have your bronco cleaned out completly by sunday" I'm like, "what! why?" He said were gonna put it out on the road to sell! Omigoodness, thats sad but exciting cuz that means he has another car in mind, cuz he knows I start my new job soon....I'm excited but nervous! But I love my cr and I just started putting bumper stickers on it..the day she goes will be a sad day... But on the other hand I'm getting another car!!!

I have a Science Project due tomorrow and I just started working on it, and I have to do an oral report.... I'm doing it on Spontaneous Human Combustion...yessss I should be working on it now but I felt like updating PLUS I'm a MEGA procrastinator...o well back to studying...after my show... lol
