It's a little hard to believe that my college career is over. Those four years really flew by. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the rest of my life. I'm waiting to hear back from a job that I applied to. They originally told me that they would call me last Thursday. Now I'll be lucky if I find out next week. Other than that I have nothing planned. Tomorrow is my 22nd birthday. Why does that seem so old? That's all for now.

I don't know why I am updating right now. Probably because I don't want to finish cleaning my room. But yeah here are the things that have been going on so far this summer.
Last night I was in bachlorette auction. There were some definite hi's and lows of that event. It was for my mom's organization, the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation, and I went for 300 dollars. I don't think that's bad seeing as I didn't have any friends bidding on me, like some girls, or my boyfriend. The starting bid was 75 dollars. The guy that won me is the cousin of Eric Nies, who was on the frist real world. He seems really nice but you know I won't be leaving Paul for him. There was this really creepy guy that was following me around all night and I was scared that he was going to win me but he didn't. He asked for my number and I politely said no. Then I got hit on by this other guy but he ws just drunk and funny. Oh and I met this guy who lives around here that bikes both on and off road so if anyone is interested just let me know. I also got a gift certificate to the Stress Factory for up to 10 people on a thursday night so if anyone is interested in that let me know. It's a comedy club. So yeah I guess those are the high lights of the night.
I'm working at NY & Co and it's just like all retail jobs, they give no hours. So mostly I've been sitting home. I probably should get a new job but I really don't know who's hiring now. I'll look and see what I can find. I'm playing in a pit near the college. The show is once upon a mattress which I have expereince acting in. I'm playing in it with Katie Beam, whom I haven't seen in forever. I'm also playing in the Community Band of course. You all should come see our concert on July 10th. The band is really good this year.
My grandparents are moving back up so that's cool. We've been trying to get the house ready for them. I'm not quite sure when they are officially moving back up. I think it's going to be some time in mid July.
I know there are more things that have been going on this summer. I've seen the boy a couple of times and hung out with people. The summer is still young so hopefully something extremely wild and crazy happens before the end. This post isn't really long at all but I think I'm done anyways. Anywho, I gotta finish cleaning my room.

Do any of you like bowling? I know you do. Well this Saturday, my mom's organization has already paid for 30 bowlers to play at Rockaway Lanes at 13:30 (or 1:30 pm for all you non military folk). There will be food. You guys get to bowl for free but if you wanted to donate a couple of dollars toward the organization that would be great. For anyone that doesn't know, my mom works for an organziation that helps families that have children with pediatric cancer. So yeah, if you guys could come that would be great, and please spread the word because we need people to come out to this event. It's free bowling. You know you wanna. If you can come and know of anyone else that can come just comment here or call me on my cell. Thanks so much.

So yeah, it's nice to know that I don't even know when my own anniversary is with my boyfriend. It's a whole week later than I thought it was. Oh well, no harm done. Only took me 8 months to fix the mistake.

I have a message for Katie and seeing as I don't have her screen name, I would really appriciate it if someone would relay this message to her.
I'm sorry that you didn't get your gift with everyone else. I still have it. And I'm pretty sure I had you, seeing as no one told me when we were picking names and later no one told me when we were exchanging gifts so I have a gift for you even if I wasn't your Secret Santa. And hopefully I wasn't someone else's. Yeah, and I really don't know how you want me to get it to you , so any suggestion would be fine I guess.

You know what show I miss? Under the Umbrella Tree. Hmmmm...I wonder if I have it on tape somewhere in my house. It was such a good show. That and David the Gnome. My favorite David the Gnome episode has to be the one with the bats and they have to transpot that bats so they put them in baskets.

So that's it I guess. I should have known it would not have lasted. It's all been a lie. I apparently can get sunburn. Not on my skin mind you but my lips are feeling it. I mean, who gets sunburned on their lips? That's totally dumb. Oh well, I guess this is what I get for making fun Colin for all these years.
Other news to come later.
College Countdown: 19 days (Yes, I know certain people get to move in earlier. Yes, I know you get paid for doing nothing. Yes, I know you get in live in the Commenwealth and I get to live in ABE.)

Some things I learned as of late:
-People from the Shore can always play DDR better than you.
-Never, ever drink marinara sauce, Sour cream and honey mustard mixed together.
-I really do get darker in the sun.
-My bed is really big and comfortable.
-I need to practice at Tekken Tag.
Yeah I guess that's about it.

Ok, so here's the thing. Fienberg told me that he was very impressed with my multiple tounging. He said it was very clean and I just need to work on speed. Fienberg thought my triple tounging was very clean and wants me to practice more solos with it in it. Well according to my Kurt lesson today, I have been single tounging all along and that's why it's very clean. he was amazed, however, at how fast I have been able to single tounge and that I'm basically the fastest that he has ever seen. So I don't know how I feel right now. I mean I am a little disappointed because I thought I could triple tounge really well. On the other hand, I have had my trumpet professor fooled and that makes me a little happy inside. So now I am working on actually learning how to triple tounge and it is soooooooo aggrivating. Oh well, it gives me something to work on.
So yeah, I had a pretty awesome weekend. Joe planned this trip for some of the music majors and he tried to have it all organized. Of course, nothing ever goes right when you try to plan it so it kinda got a little disorganzied. I went to Six Flags early with Paul and we were expecting everyone else to get there at like 6. Well Craig got there then but Joe and everyone else didn't It was around 8 20 when everyone finally showed up. That didn't leave us many options for rides so we just went on Superman and left it at that. We chilled at Craig's after. I love his house. I want to live there but there might be some problems with that. The next day Des, katie and I swam while the band practiced. They are pretty good. Ok, very good. After they finished we ate lunch and then headed to Seaside. I still don't like the beach. The water makes my eyes hurt, especially with contacts in. And I know, I should have taken them out but then I'm basically blind. Then DDR was played. Not by me really, but I didn't mind watching. Let's see, after the shore we went back to Craig's. Basketball in the pool was played. I was guarding Des but then ended up guarding Craig. That didn't work too well seeing as he's 8" taller than I am and just held me whenever he had the ball so I couldn't get it from him. It was pretty intense. Then dinner and more hanging out and then I had to head home. I had a lot of fun.
There has been nothing really exciting going on, so that's the main reason why I don't update. This has been a pretty okay summer thus far. It's a little sad that the weather isn't better. And I kinda wish that my job would need me for more hours rather than like the none that I have been working. But yeah I guess that's it.

Someone to watch over me |
] |
...My perfect guy...
Hair color: Black or a really dark brown. I wouldn't mind a dirty blond but I really like dark hair.
Eye color: Grey, dark blue, or really anything interesting.
Height: 6'1" would be perfect but I don't care as long as he's taller than me.
Sixpack: A hint of abs would be nice
Long/short hair: I like it short.
Glasses: Yes because they would frame his face nicely.
Piercings: Where? An earring wouldn't too too bad but nothing more than that. In fact, no, he shouldn't have any piercings.
Chest hair: No. Not at all.
Buff or skinny: I would say kinda like Shane or Walter. They're skinny but still have a pretty nice body.
Straight teeth, gap, or braces: trumpet players never have good teeth so why should it matter what kind of teeth he has. Though, seeing as this is my perfect man, yes straight teeth would be nice.
Party or stay at home: Both. It's good to hang out with people but sometimes it's just better to watch a movie together.
Should he cook or bake: Yes, I would love for him to make me dinner some day.
Should he have a lot of friends that are girls: I have a lot of friends that are guys. I see no problem with it...as long as I am prettier than all of them. ~.^
Outgoing or shy: He would have to be a little outgoing because I would probably make him feel uncomfortable if he were shy.
Sarcastic or sincere: Both. He knows when being sarcastic is appropiate or not.
Should he watch chick flicks: haha, yeah if he's with me and it's perfectly okay to think that it's stupid for me to be crying my eyes out over the same story line that has been repeated in every single one of them.
Would he smoke: Never.
Would he drink: As long as it's not a problem and he's not making a fool of himelf I see no problem with it.
Would he swear: In private yes but not when we're at a nice restaurant or eating with the 'rents.
Would he play with your hair: Rarely. I actually don't like people touching my hair.
Would he pay for dates: Not all the time. I like to pay sometimes, especially when it's my idea. It's nice hen he offers though.
Does he kiss on the first date: I see no problem with it.
Where would you go for dinner: Anywhere.
Would he bring you flowers: Every so often. He would also know that I love lilies.
Would he lay under the stars with you: Yes and he would be able to tell me the names of the stars and constellations.
Would he call you honey, sweetie, or baby: Yes and while we are at it, why don't we just add Nubian goddess up there?
Would he hang with you and your friends: Of course
Would you hang out with him and his friends: Of course
Would he walk you to the door at the end: Every time
Holding hands: All the time
Baseball: Finds it boring.
Basketball: On occasion.
Football: Nah.
Skateboard: Uh....no.
Surf: That would be nice.
Snowboard: Yes and he could teach me.
Play guitar: On occasion
Play piano: That would be really nice.
Play drums: Can we switch that to marimba?
Clean his room: Yup, though I'm known for having a messy one.
Use the word dude: Sure
Use the word tight: HAHAHAHA yeah that would be great
Use the word hot: Yup
What kind of car does he drive: I don't really care. Z3 would be nice. Ooo, it has to be a stick though.
What is one requirement he'd have to meet: Approvial from a special friend
Have you found him yet: haha, not quite. While I did take a lot of Paul's traits into consideration, I didn't base this whole thing on him. Hey, no one is perfect.
Ok, so yeah now that I finished that I think I might take a walk to Subway and see if I can lose all that extra weight that I've been gaining. ::big smile::
