So, due to the massive amount of threats being made on my life, i have decided to blog yet again. i'll start with Friday after school....when rick came over and decided he wanted to go to DQ, so i agreed and he bought me an ice cream cone! i was uber stoked! Then after that, i took Smalls and rick to rick's house and stayed there for about 10 min, at which time i had to go home to eat (Smalls decided to stay the nite @ rick's). after i got home, i called AP and we decided that i'd go over to her casa around 9/9:30.
So, friday, foof decides to have a friend go skating w/her...for the sake of privacy, i shall keep this friend a secret and refer to her as.....Jane. So, Jane comes over dressed in her usual "slutty" attire...and she's freakin 12...let's just say i DONT like her...ok? and she had some kind of influence on my sister cuz she came down stairs...and i was like..."foofer!! you look like a hooker, go wash your face!" But, what do i know, i'm just the older sister! so, then i was forced to take Foof and Jane to skating, then i came back home and decided that daddy and i could stand to have some much needed bonding time cuz we were the only ones home (mom went to a jewlery party). so, we decided to go rent movies, we picked Ray and Collateral....about half way thru the first movie (collateral), dad got called out, so i shut the movie off for him. by the time he got back, it was about 8:20ish, and we resumed the movie....and it got to the good part just as it was time for me to go to AP's house! but, she rocks my face off harder than Jamie Foxx ever could, so i headed to her house...and had a blast...we just hung out and talked, then she called justin for a chat, and i heard him laughing on the other end...at which point i said (in a loud tone) HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! YOU SAID FIFTEEN!!! and ap looked at me with a very shocked expression on her face and said "DUDE!! schoon just said that!!!" you see, eric and i must thing a lot alike, cuz we said it at the same time, which may not seem like much to most of you, but the 4 of us thought it was pure awsomeness...then after that i talked to justin on the phone for a bit, then ap and i decided to go to my house and watch collateral, so when we got to my house, we got on the computer, and she called justin back cuz she didnt get to talk to him very long, and we all chatted it up for a while...quality times i tell ya! after the phone convo, we went up to my room and started collateral around 11:30/12ish(keep in mind, i had to be at the high school by 6:30 am cuz we had state speech contest) and we talked thru most of it, talkin about nething and everything...we are soooo good at that. then we cuddled on my bed and started watchin the movie after it was about half over! then i decided i had to show her all the pics of my family that are on my wall...lol. i took her home sometime between 1:30 and 2 am, then i came home, finished gettin my crap ready for Contest, and went to bed around 2:30, getting up just before 5:30 am. WOO, good nap i tell ya. then i got up and readied myself for the bus ride, AND i was even at the school fifteen (HAAAAAA!!! YOU SAID FIFTEEN!!!) minutes early!! at which point, i decided to go visit the potty, cuz yall know how me and my tiny little bladder are...and then Miss Madsen asked me to plz keep ppl from goin upstairs...cuz some IDIOT broke into the Superintendent's office!!! HOW RUDE!!! ppl need to get some respect and grow up! anyway, back to the story. so, everyone stayed downstairs and i pottied, then once we were all on the bus, Emily informed us that she had forgotten her speech on the "have fun" bus, so we took a field trip to the bus barn and they hunted down her paper. then we were off to Nevada!! i stayed up and talked to the peeps for about an hour of the ride, then slept the rest of the way....it was very plesent. once we got to the school, we were in the parking lot and the bus BROKE DOWN!!! i mean..it was DEAD. they had to have it towed and drive a new bus all the way to us!!!
so, times at the school were spent tellin stories in a close circle of peeps, then Riverside arrived and i was uber stoked, cuz that means.....MARKUS!!!!! so, i let the boy get settled, and then he went w/leslie (chick from Riverside) to go to her center cuz she had to perform. i met up w/him a little later as he was waiting w/leslie...we hugged, we bonded, it was great. then we just chilled all day untill Seth got there (mark, ur such a pimp, i swear!!!!) and...well, then we just kinda hung with seth all day! then before i knew it, it was time for me to perform!! mark and i were signed up for about the same time, so we went and changed, then i checked on my center....IT WAS MY TURN!!!! so then i had to haul ass all the way back to the gym and get my ballots and make it back to my center.....where i performed for a grand total of 4 people (two female judges, one very very hot male judge, and Alicia!!) she said i did pretty good, but i had my doubts...i did make time tho, which was the first time EVER making time for my Romeo and Juliet piece..i was uber stoked. then i went to go check if mark had gone yet, and i got to his center just as he was done....then we walked back to the gym and changed and anxiously awated our ratings. BTW, this was the first time (durring this years ind. speech season) that i didnt get to watch Ashley perform...i was sad. newayz, i went back and looked for my rating...i got a two and 2 ones...i was uber pumped. then we waited around for marks rating, and he got totally screwed cuz he got all twos, which is so totally not right!!!! then it was time to pack up and head back home...after we waited for a while for the new bus to get there...lol. so, we took lots of pictures and wut not, and then said our goodbyes to the riverside peeps and i stole mark's tie and he let me wear his irish necklace...i'm still wearing them both markus!!! :) alas, it really was time to go, and we all filed onto the bus, then filed off when we got to Casey's and bought celebration food (FYI.....the record for the most ones at a school is 12...so we think.....and today, our school got 22. booyahh baby.). then we all got back on the bus and quite the ride home, as i spent most of it talkin to josh about some pretty deep topics, which will remain on the bus! [what happens at State Speech stays at State Speech, right Markus!?!?! ;) ]. so, we talked the whole ride home, and i think i got josh hooked on some Eminem, cuz i had him listen to an Anti-Bush song (sorry ap, i had to) and he really loved it. then we finally were back at school, where i piled all my crap into my car and headed home....when i got there, the house was totally empty! mom, dad, and foof all went up to Uncle Scott's for the nite, while smalls was still at rick's house. i then decied to take advantage of the quite house and listen to some music on the computer while i checked my email and blogged...which brings me to this place in time!
So, to all of you who read my blog, sorry i've been slacking, and i promise i'll try and keep up! speech was awsome, alisha time was awsomer, and my friends are the awsomest! i love u guys, and i'll write again sometime soon. Bye yall!

TGIF!!!

So, it was friday, Feb. 25, 2005. i was lying in my bed, dreaming about..fun things....when my mom opens my door..walks to my bed and wakes me up with this sentence "baby girl (that's what my mom calls me)...wake up hunnie...it's 4 o'clock..." followed by me saying "hmmmmmm" and pulling the blanket over my face. then mom says " do you wanna get in the shower hunnie?" and i was like..."mmmm" (which, in morning talk means 'yes mom') so then she hugged me and said.."you better hurry, dad wants to be on the road by 5 (she ment AM, mind you...SO FREAKIN EARLY!!!)" so, she left my room and i got up and went to the shower..which i was in there in a snap cuz i was smart and got my clothes out the nite b4... :) dont u wish you were that smart! anywho, i got in the shower...and pretty much froze my butt off, even tho the water was like...scalding..i was just cold! so newayz, i finish my shower and get dressed and such...and we just left right after that! way too early, anyway, i did it...and i was sleepin again about 20 minutes later! ya gotta love long trips!
So then we stopped in some town for breakfast (aka, a slice of breakfast pizza and a bottle of water) and to potty...which i am quite good at, btw. and then i was asleep again with in the next 40 minutes or so. then i woke up when we were in C.R. and then my awsome T.G.I.F. experiance started. we walked up to the door, which was being held open by an amazingly hot young man who was tall (well, taller than me anyway!), has brown hair, green eyes, and several piercings (i would later find out that his name is Casey). we were walkin in the door and he was all happy and welcome-y and i turn back and say..."dude, you smell good!" with a smile...and he smiled and said, "thanx i try" and then i just kept on a-walkin! soo cute!! hehe. then we checked in and got a bunch of packets and such. then we went in and listened to the dude talk to us for a bit and the student pannel of ppl came in (including casey...woo wut a hottie!). then we (by we i mean all the students that were there for a visit that day) had to stand up and introduce ourselves...then it was Q & A time. after that, we took about a 15 minute break..which was much needed cuz i had to potty again!...and then the parents went in one room and the students in the other. i met a new person before we started talkin...her name was Tara and she was super nice. then we had another Q & A session with just the student pannel...again, this included Casey...he picked me when i raised my hand to ask my question (which was "what did u guys miss the most when u got here") and he was the first to answer....he said " my dog and my mom"...awwww!!! isnt that the cutest thing ever!! so, after a good hour of bonding, it was time for all the students to part ways and hook up w/their parents again. then we went to check out our "area of interest", which for me was Early Childhood Education. i was the only one in my group, other than my mom and dad and the girl that was showin us around. she was super nice, her name was Nicole. we went to the daycare place, which is where i will have one class and where i will work. and there were all these little kids there!! they were soo cute....they range in age from 6 months to 8 years...and i do mean they were absolutely adorable!! so i had a great time there and then we headed back and had FREE pizza and Dew (the first of many to come that weekend!...right ap!!??). we ate dinner and then listened to info on the open house thinger so we could go scope out apartments.
so, we wait till 1 when the open house starts, and then we head off to Kirkwood Towers...where we walk in the apartment of the ppl who so generously agreed to have their apartment on the tour. OMG...was he hot!!! he was in school to become a FIREFIGHTER!!! and trust me, he's one of the ones who you WANT to come carry you out of a burning building...soooo hot! he was really tall, like taller than my dad. had dark hair, blue eyes, was tan and he carried on a good 15 min. convo with me and my dad...so HOT!!! then we toured his house...his place was very neat...he said he spent like..the whole day b4 cleanin...and in his room was a fire fighter blankie (that he got from his dad..aww!) and a framed thing on the wall..."The Fire Fighter's Prayer". now isnt that just cute!! then we took the rest of the tour and saw the huge stack of Playboys on the back of the toilet, which had a match book strategically placed over the breasts of one almost naked blonde. sadly, more people arrived and we decided to leave the hot Fire Fighter...as soon as we were out the door i was like...mom...does the fire fighter come with the room??!!! and she goes " i hope so...he was sooo cute!" teehee, teehee.
then we decided to head to IA city...now, it was about 2ish and Alisha wasnt to get home from work till around 5:30ish so we decided to go to some store that my mom likes...it's called STUFF, it's just like Goodwill, but bigger and it has furniture and stuff...i guess that's why they call it STUFF. newho, dad and i got really REALLY bored after about 5 minutes, so we decided to walk across the street to the Harley Davidson shop...omg..i could totally see myself becoming a biker chick! we walked in and it smelled like new leather...it was hot! and daddy found the bike he wanted..almost. the design was perfect...it had a skeleton on it and all the bones were fractured! the bike was just a little too small for him...plus mom would never let him get a bike. so dad and i had a great time sittin on the bikes and tryin on $500 leather coats and cool helmets till mom showed up and crushed our dreams of goin to Stergis next year...boohiss! lol, jk. then we headed to Wal-mart so i could pick up justin's bday gift for AP and so we could get me some cash...i also picked up a pack of gum and another Dew.
We then decided it would be good if i called alisha to see wut was up...so i called her room and Jeni answered and said she was already at work, but i could still come early if i wanted. so we headed over to Dirty Burge, took all my stuff up to room 3222, met Jeni, threw all my stuff in the corner under ap's loft, and mosied back to down town. we just drove around a bit, dad likes to take in the scenory and then we went and just walked around in the mall....oh, and we stopped and got cheese balls and a root beer float, again, in the mall...and i was reminded of why i never get Root Beer floats...i dont like them! then we walked around the mall for a bit...mom and i went to watch all the little kids on the skating rink...i was highly impressed! then dad got to be mister EMT when a little boy fell and hurt his arm...i was like..yep, that's my Daddy!
After all the excitement, we headed back to Dirty Burge...it was about 4:45...so dad just wanted to sit out front of the building at wait for Alisha. i got bored and started to wonder about state wrestling, so i called Kay to see if she knew what was up. she filled me in and then we just chatted for a bit...while i was talkin to here dad points and goes "THERE SHE IS!!!" and i was like "OH MY GOD!! WHERE!!! WHERE!!! WHHEEEERRRRREEEEEEE!!!" and he pointed at her, i saw her, opened the door, waited for the CAMBUS to pass, and screamed "ALIIIIIIIIIISHAAAAAA!!!" and she looked and we both screamed, nearly got run over by the bus, then i ran across to the sidewalk and bear hugged her so hard we nearly fell over! i then hugged allison, who was with her and i met last time...stud! and then we went back and said bye to my 'rents. we traveled back into burge, where we saw 2 ppl from ap's class...and they were freakin cuz they saw me, and well, i think they were also a bit drunk, but we wont go there..ok, more than a bit...she hugged me, so yeah, she was wasted...and it wasn't even 6 o'clock yet! anywho, we went back up to room 3222 and just kept hugging cuz neither of us could believe i was actually there! then the three of us (me, ap, and alli) went down to dinner in the new kitchen at Burge...it was great. oh! so, ap gets the brilliant idea to have a Mellow Yellow chugging contest. so we go back to the pop machines and all get equal amounts of M.Y. we headed back to our table and tosted eachother, warning alli not to make us laugh. then we began the chug...2 seconds into it, ap and i are totally taking this seriously and kickin butt...when alli just bursts out laughing...at which point, ap SPITS her entire mouthfull of mellow yellow out (and i'm talkin like...Saved By The Bell, at the max, someone says somethin shocking type of spit)...it goes all over the table...not to mention...Alli's FACE! and i started laughing and bent my head down...at which point a very large and cold amount of mellow yellow came pouring out of my nose and mouth. still laughing, i couldnt breathe, alli was laughing and the 2 of us choking...it was great. then ap calmed down and finished off the rest of her pop in 2 gulps, picked mine up & downed it, then tried to do the same to alli's but alli wouldnt let her....about 5 minutes later, the girl lets out the biggest belch i've ever heard in my life!!! about 10 minutes after that, she's like "omg, i have to pee soooooo bad!" then we headed back upstairs and just chilled for abit.
after that, it was time to call and see where justin and eric were! they said they were on their way and would be there shortly. about 10 min. later, the knock at the door stated their arrival, and triggered ap's giddiness into high gear! she answered, they hugged, eric peeked around justin and goes "DUDE!!! i sooo remember you now!!!" (see, he met me the first time i was in burge, back in october and then told ap that he didnt remember meeting me, which ticked me off cuz i even gave him a back rub!!!!!" and then me and eric hugged, then me and justin hugged (we're all big on hugs, can ya tell!?!) and then we just chilled for a while in the dorm. after that, we decided to go see justin's mom at the hospital and then meet up with AJ and beth and watch the dvds that justin brought (The breakfast club and the lost boys). so we went to see justin's mommy and then met aj and beth in the lobby at burge....i met them both for the first time and got a hug from AJ (i love hugs!!) and we just hung there in the lobby for a good hour. then we decided to go upstiars and watch the movies. we didnt know it, but, by this time Jeni was home and tired, so we didnt wanna be mean, and we decided that we could all go to Justin's and watch them and AJ would then drive all us girls back to Dirty Burge after the movies. well, we headed downstairs.....we all got outside....and we discovered that some drunkin IDIOT had yanked the passenger mirror right off of eric's car...it was just hanging there by a wire! i think we were all more upset and mad than he was..i was totally impressed with how he handled it...those guys rock my face off. so, then eric goes all McGuiver and tapes the thing back to the car so it wouldnt leave a bunch of scratches while we drove to justin's. we were drivin to his place and justin's phone rings...it's aj. we filled him in on eric's car and he said it sucked...then aj tells us that he decided NOT to go to justin's, but to just chill with beth instead.
so, we were on the way to La Casa de Justin, when alisha's brilliant mind comes up with a damper to our plans. "hey guys...if aj's not comin...how are we getting home?" well that killed the mood! she had an excellent point, as the walk from justin's to Burge was over 4 miles and alli and ap both had to work at 10. so, we decided that eric would drop us at burge and we'd just hang in the loby. alli went right to bed cuz she was uber tired, but the 3 of us stayed in the lobby...and we had...the WONDERFUL honor and privilage.....of meeting...THE one...THE only Morice!!! he talked of ISU, crappy Iowa Women, the Oscars, his lack of pot intake (six whole weeks!!!), lighting animals on fire (you know...cats...ants....he likes the smell), going off on a rampage at the U of Iowa, and kidnapping his "ex" girl, tyin her up w/electrical wire, duct taping her ankles together, puttin her in the basement...no, no...the attick...no, not even the attick, the THIRD FLOOR!! and slapping her everyday. and not just slapping my friends...first the front hand...and then bring around the back hand...you know, just to make sure she got the point. yeah, me and ap were seriously freaked out...thank god justin was there to protect us...if need be! then, i was like...ok...hey alisha, dont u have to work tomorrow...we should um..go to bed! and we all said bye to our new friend Morice and he left us.
then it was bed time...we said g'nite to justin and headed to bed...ap even let me have the comfy loft! altho, it did suck having to climb out of to go potty....curse my tiny bladder!!!! so, anywho, that's it for Friday....fun times i tell ya! and the weekend only got better from there! if i feel like it, i'll post Saturday's events tomorrow, but as of right now, i'm goin to bed! nite yall!
