Another Fork Stuck In the Road

This is probably the best day of my life this year. Not that I can even remember back far enough to know... After Driver's Ed, otherwise known as "Waste of Life" or, in simpler form, "Hell," me and my mom took a little trip to the Last Stop CD Shop. One of the most amazing stores EVER. And I got, not only Dane Cook: A Vicious Circle on DVD and a couple of games for Wii, but a BRAND NEW iPOD!!!!! I'll probably earn myself back problems from it's sheer size in physical and capacity forms. It's an amazingly emo (you should see its scars from cutting itself...) black 60GB BLACK iPod. Except for it being a little scratched up, it's my new best friend. Sorry, guys...

Whatever shall I name it? Third Time's A Charm?

In other news, I must register for my Sophomore year by tomorrow and my cat is trying to stuff himself in my CLOSED backpack. I have a speech on John Lennon (flower power!) due Tuesday and must present my English project in a little under two weeks. Yeah, that English project I haven't worked on at all.

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Thank You Ending - Number One Gun
P.S. Innards still shoved to the opposite side of my insides.

Nail-Less Fingers in Acid Bath

Compliments of Zoey Groman

I weaseled my way out of my speech today! Now I have to dread it another whole day! Last night I was shanking people on our Wii/GameCube game GUN. It was quite an entertaining game, actually. Their language was atrocious though... I got to slide-attack buffalo, trample wolves (and other humans), blow off people's heads (don't read into that one...), and shoot lots of weapons in general. I also killed a horse in cold blood. Ooops... No wonder its rated mature. Heh. I also kicked my mom's butt in Wii Tennis (it's a physically demanding sport!) and got K-O'ed in boxing.

Can you all tell I have NOTHING to blog about today?!

Mrs. Wehrkamp demonstrated how to exercise with a giant rubber band in health today for a good solid 15 minutes. And yes, I did catch the dagger looks she was sending me as I read - completely ignoring her. And FYI, if any of you commit suicide, don't send me any tapes listing reasons why you started pushing your own daisies. (See: TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY).

Countdown to Nine In the Afternoon! - 6 days

Oh, It's Been So Long

I really haven't felt like posting in awhile. So I didn't. But now, I've decided that you people need to be informed of my life and times. Which really aren't as exciting as you may think.
Jon has come and gone, and I don't remember exactly what I got, but I'll post a list, based on the pictures we have.

• Guitar Hero III for PlayStation2 (YAY! Guess what I've been doing since I got it?)
• Moccasins/Slippers
  
• A Wii (This was from "Santa" for the Whole Family)
• Warm Vanilla Sugar B&BW Set
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Movie)
• A Nintendo DS Game
• Some Boots that don't fit me (Anyone where a 7 1/2?)
• Headphones
• My magazine subscription to Entertainment Weekly
• iTunes Gift Card - $15
• House M.D. Season Three (!)
• Gloves
• An iHome Remote (Too bad it doesn't work from large distances.)
• Two Sweaters
• A Giant TV Remote (This was a white elephant gift, but I LOVE it)
• A Mini-Converse ornament

Our family Christmas party was O.K. It will further be known by me as "The Tragic Christmas," because my Grandma wrote this letter to all her children and it was very touching and everyone cried. Then we started talking about my Grandpa (her husband, who has died) and it was all great. We went to the candlelight service at my church after the party and it was very...illuminating?

Not much else has happened since then. Alissa spent the night and we tried to find Monsters on Guitar Hero...for 5 hours. Ask about Moby and Dick sometime. Zoey came over and we went sledding and found Jared on "100 Greatest Teen Stars." We're going to a New Year's Eve party up in Marion at a friend's (Peg and Scott) on Monday. There will be lots of drinking, but not by me. Though everyone will encourage it. You might hear about it. Maybe I'll get back to you.

Well I haven't showered lately, so see ya! (Sheesh, Melanie, just because you don't have to go to school doesn't mean you can let yourself go...) Oh, and I have to go check out Barely Blind? Strange E-Mails these days...

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Animals - Dead Poetic
P.S. What's going on with the poll?!? PEOPLE! THIS IS IMPORTANT! (Thank you Maddy and Alissa...)
P.S.S. There'll probably be some pictures of all these events...eventually.
