Livin' Life, Life In The Fast Lane

Besides blatantly stating that I haven't posted anything here for over a month, we'll just assume everyone noticed my absence. Oh, I've been on the computer plenty since May 11, no need to worry about my general health. I've just completely ignored the blog.

School ended. Obviously. Summer started. I'm working. At camp, you may ask? Oh, no my friends. I didn't willingly head back into that disaster. I'm working at Sanford in nutrition and food service. I deliver food carts, I do dishes, and I get paid for doing a lot of standing around. I just got a shiny $240.39 paycheck on Thursday, so that's always fun. The job's certainly easy, if not disgusting most of the time. If you like playing the game where-does-this-pan-that-looks-exactly-like-the-last-one-I-put-away-but-with-a-slightly-different-shape-go?, then this would be the job for you.

That's about all that's changed in the last month, besides more sleep and free time. And warmth. There's also been a significant increase in size of my CD collection. Let's see, I've gotten a copy of blink-182's Greatest Hits, While The City Sleeps, We Rule The Streets by Cobra Starship, the Jonas Brothers' album which just came out this week, Lines, Vines And Trying Times, The Yippee EP by NeverShoutNever!, and There For Tomorrow's new album A Little Faster which is crazy awesome. I guess not that significant when I type it out like that, but still. It's the buying of things that's important. Jobs are exciting like that. They give you money to buy things you don't necessarily need. Like fish. I bought a fish. His name is Suarez. Like the bassist of Cobra Starship. "He's got that Spanish blood in him! He can enjoy the wine!"

Speaking of which, the Believers Never Die show was freakin' great. 'Nuff said. Plus it was a pretty long time ago for talking about concerts, and I don't think my description would suit the awesomeness of that concert. Jonas Brothers is up next, and with all the preparations and influx of Jonas obsessions, I may be even more excited. We'll go for an immediate update on that. With pictures. And a more successful countdown!

How many days until the Jonas Brothers concert?
17 days!

One day before the Jobros concert, All Time Low releases their new album, Nothing Personal. They've released two singles from that and they're great. Go listen and buy them now. I'm so excited for that CD I don't even comprehend how excited I am. I have my own personal countdown on my whiteboard for that one. 16 days. What a wait.

Blog updated. Check. I promise to at least make an effort here now, so until next time...

Are You Afraid Yet? You Should Be...

Funny how if you, being the procrastinator you are, wait 'til basically the night before to finish your speech your teacher thinks its the best you've done. I feel sorry for the disgrace of a speech I did on poor John Lennon. He was a cool guy though. I'm glad I did him for the speech. I even wore my (Zoey's) Beatle's shirt for the occasion. Call me cheesy...

We start the driving -

Oh what the hell. My blog "sucks ass."

Anyone want to hear anything about my pathetic life?

I really need to do tech. There seems to be a lot of drama there that I could blog about.

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
