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...

If Life Is A Joke, Why Aren't We Laughing?

Ah, sweet boredom.

Honestly, waking up just before 5 in the morning and delivering papers only takes up at least 2 hours of my long 25-hour day. Yes, 25. It sure feels that way. But Melanie, 1 hour more then everyone else isn't that much. Oh, but it is.

Boredom is no one's friend.

Tomorrow could possibly tie as one of the longest days of my life. Tied with what, you may ask? Well that would be tied with the last two weeks of my life. Sure, not being at work is grand, but the video for I Kissed A Girl and every other crappy song on all the music channels I waste my life on gets old after about the 2,500 time. And sure, Michael Ian Black is highly entertaining but after watching I Love The 80's more times than the average homo sapien, you wish you hadn't lived in the 80's. Even if you didn't live during the 80's.

bore·dom /ˈbɔrdəm, ˈboʊr-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[bawr-duh . m, bohr-] –noun the state of being bored; tedium; ennui.

Oh, but I forgot to explain myself. Why will tomorrow be one of the longest days of my life? Not because this particular day has 26 hours, but because Breaking Dawn becomes available to my eager hands at 12:01 a.m. August 2nd. And I will be eagerly waiting to attend the Breaking Dawn release party event at my local Barnes And Noble to pick up said novel. With Alissa, Maddy and Kaitlyn at spat camp and Zoey at the lake I will have no one to ease the wait. So I'll be stuck with the above-mentioned life-wasting TV crap. But Melanie, the internet is always available. Well, that would lead me to, as Seth the webmaster describes it, B.D. Countdownitis, on the Twilight website (see, http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/index.html. The Breaking Dawn quotes are also nice). Watching those silly silly milliseconds wind down the hours of my wait. That would be bad. And Twilighting is not good for the brain either.

Oh, the pain.

P.S. I recommend the homo sapien article.
P.S.S. HAPPY 75th post!

Wow, This Puppy Chow Tastes Like House...

Sorry, I've been lacking in the posting category. Not that anything interesting happens. Its summer...duh. I've been making attempts to get out of my house as of late seeing as I'm either indoors or at work. Both which lack in a social life. Well, do to loss of brain matter I've begun talking to the horses...but never mind that.

I took down the Honda Civic Tour widget, some of you may have noticed. I figured since that's over and we've come and gone from the concert I had better get over it. And going to Warped Tour this summer doesn't look very promising...

My mother is going through her second childhood right now. She bought a spiffy red mo-ped. Or scooter. Whatever they're called. And she actually cut several inches off her hair after having it the same for the past several YEARS. Not that I noticed...

In other news, The Academy Is... has a new single out from their new album Fast Times At Barrington High! I'm listening to it right now, but I'm not quite sure if I like it that much yet. It's very not-them. You will all have to listen to it and decide for yourselves though.

Breaking Dawn comes out in two weeks! I'm obsessing over the Twilight series right now and hyperventilating over the movie. Super excited, that's all I've gotta say.

Well, that's enough for today. I unfortunately had to do maintenance at camp for two hours this morning and now it's time to sleep...except not really. New Moon here I come!

P.S. 50 mosquito bites on each leg SUCKS.

Instantly Win!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Yay...internet! I'm back! I know you all had a horrible interneting experience without me, so I'm here again to relieve you! Not like that! Do the exclamation points make everything I say more exciting?! I think so!! There were TWO on that one!

Well, if you couldn't tell, my internet is fixed and we've also added about 600 channels to one of our TVs...the magic of Midco...So now I'll post something nice for you all. I don't have the time or attention span to update you on my life since May 20th 'til now, so I'll just give you a list for now:

• I got a job at Camp Leif Ericson and it sucks.
• Horses suck.
  
• I haven't gotten paid yet and it sucks.
• My mother is keeping a list of everything I buy and I have to pay her back with money I haven't earned yet...and it sucks.
• I'm about $300 in debt courtesy of the above bullet.
• It sucks.
  
• The Panic At The Disco concert was AMAZING!
• I can now legally drive by myself between the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Black is the new black.
• Camp Rock is the typical Disney Channel Original Movie but it has *cringe* made me a kinda-sorta Jonas *cringe* Brothers fan...*cringe*
• But they're all still ugly.
• There's a guy who works at camp who's the spitting image of Kevin Jonas...
• My Powerspace sunglasses came in the mail! I was super excited for them!
• Today one of my Powerspace sunglasses got stepped on by a horse...and survived.
• Silly plastic sunglasses are indestructable.
• I left said Powerspace sunglasses at camp...
  
• I got a new DS and Pokemon Diamond.
  
• I got a cell phone. Most of you probably know that. So the last month and five days haven't been entirely wasted on Pokemon

Well, that should hold you over until I have something new to say... Until next time...
