All Up In The J-Lo
- Friday, May 13, 2005 | 11:34 p.m. -

Today was super-awesome! Ok, so here goes:

I picked up Ashley and Lindsey at 3-ish, and then we went to Woodfield. We shopped for a long time and looked at all the pretty stores and it was so fun. I got this REAL cute Lucky Bathing Suit. It's soft and gray and it has these cute colorful stripes on it. Very cute. I was taking song request in the car cause I got my iPod hooked up through the casette adapter. Pretty sweet. We did lots of Keith, it was nice.

Then when we got done shopping we went to Sarah's casa and met up with her and Amanda. WE got pizza, cookies and the VH1 Country Channel (I'm TOTALLY obsessed!) and we saw ugly Rascal Flatts guy ("He got married to Scarlet Johanson!" -Linds, "Shut the fuck up, you're a compulsive liar." -Me, "Yeah..." -Linds) and then we all headed on over to Cinemark to see Monster-In-Law. OHHH MY GODDDD! Michael Vartan was absolutely SCRUMPTRULESCENT! It was amazing. He was funny and cute and FUCKING SHIRTLESS! Shit, I almost had a heart attack. It was sooooo good. The movie concept pretty much blew, but J-to-tha-L-O and Michael Vartan rocked it. Shirtless! Damn.

Then after the movie me and Cocoa played the crap-ass DDR they have at Cinemark, you have to step on the squares REAL hard, and they don't even work. Peice of shit. Then we went to Starbucks and it was yummy. Mmmmm... Frapiccino. That's all I have to say, and YAY cause it's only Friday. And tomorrow I can sleep in til 12:30 and watch Dave Lieberman. He's so cute. Then I drove Linds home and we did our jams: "Heartbreaker" and and J-Lo's "I'm Real" (unremixed). We're getting good at them, I won't lie. Then after I dropped Linds off I kept the JLo going and did a little "Waiting for Tonight" (DDr ain't got nothing on that song) and "Love Don't Cost a Thing" to keep myself in the Jlo mood. Anyway, long entry short, today was awesome, and I still got two more days to enjoy for this weekend. I'm out.

The World Is Cold But I Don't Care When You Have Flowers In Your Hair
- Friday, May 13, 2005 | 08:27 a.m. -

I'm so glad I'm a Junior. No school today! Yaaaaay!

So I think the plan is that me, AShley, Sarah and Lindz are going to Woodfield to shop for a little while then gunna see Monster In Law. Heeee. Michael Vartan. He's so pretty!

Wow. Last night was a lot of fun. After school, me and Ashley and Cocoa went to Best Buy cause I had to return that peice of shit wireless adapter thing, and Ashley had to get her schedule. But then I totally forgot to bring the reciept with me, so then I had to go back home, and then go back. So my plan was to just return the peice of shit and get my $22 back. But then I was looking in the Country section, and I realized the new Dierks BEntley CD was out, so I grabbed it ( $9.99) Then I saw that Keith Anderson CD for $12.99 that looked really good so I picked it up, but then 5 minutes later I saw a sign for it that said it was only $7.99! and THEN I was looking at Tim McGraw and I saw one of his CD's for only $5.99!!! And all the tracks on it were REALLY good, so I got that one too. So I went to the checkout, and all my CD's (with a $4 gift card) was only $21!!!! Yaaay! I returned the peice of shit, got 3 awesome Cds and still got one dollar back. Fuck yeah.

So then I went home, put all my CDs into iTunes, and then took a little nap for 4 hours. Then it was 8, and I went to Shannon's for the fondue/OC party, and we didn't do either, but that was OK. So I drove to her house, and mentally I remembered directions... but I accidently went Kristen's was on Naper instead of Shannon's... So I got lost for a half hour. Then I almost ran out of gas, and it was a mess. But then I found Shannon's house, and me and her, Molly and MeganMiller went to a park to meet John Colavo (?) and it the parking lot of the park there was this other car there, and we looked closer and there were two people inside of it NOT DOING GOOD CHRISTIAN THINGS! So we honked and flasked our brights. Hee. That'll show them to bang in a car in a parking lot on a Thursday night.

Then we drove around to some Sophmmore's house, and we went to another park and rolled down the biggest hill I've ever seen! And it was soooo fun. I rolled like 57845432 times, and I was so dizzy I kept falling down everywhere. That was awesome.

Then we went back to Shannon's and watched Wicker Park and called some kid named Brit. Then it was time for Kelly to go home, so I listened to my new Dierks Bentley CD and it's the BEST CD I've heard in a long time. Every track is sooooo good. Yay for Dierks. So now I'm here eating my hashbrowns and maybe I'll go back to sleep.

Streaming Emotions Through Microsoft Paint
- Wednesday, May 11, 2005 | 04:31 p.m. -

What a baaaaad week.

Thank God for Study halls. I have lots of friends, and it's so muich fun. Today I was feeling like crap so I drew angry pictures. Then I felt better. We've started to play a make-shift game of whoonu (
Shoe laces or Left Turn Lanes?
Empty lunch bag or Sister Mary?
Regis Philbin or kidney beans?
Underwater raccoons or tree trunks
Flying squirrels or pancakes served by Bob Sagat?
Nuclear warefare or Scott Schneider (the best one)

When other people hear - it makes no sense. It's just a study hall thing.

So last night I babysat for the Jews at 5:30. But before, the Candy Cane Drunks callesd me and asked me to babysit from 6-9... and I told them I was already babysitting form 5-7. So then they're like, OK, you can come from 7-9. Grrrr... Then they didn't even come home til 10. And, as always, they were totally trashed. Asshats.

I got one of those cassette adapters for my iPod and my car. Now I can listen to Keith crystal clear. Yaaaay!

Why does everyone suck? Honestly. These last two weeks have been so completely wierd. I get so pissed off at EVERYONE. And then people get pissed off at me for being pissed off at someone else for no reason. I have my reasons. Hey - it's my party and I can cry if I want to. Except for the fact that I'm not having a party and that I don't cry - I get mad. OK, that just made sense in my head. Anyway, I'm very frusturated at a LOT of people (and I DO have my reasons) and I feel so hostile and angry and left-out and even more angry because of that. And All day I've been bitchy and snappy. And I'm so mad that I used Microsoft Paint to express my feelings. And that's a pretty damn good accomplishment, if you ask me.

Inperpret that any way you'd like. It could be you, it could be me. You will never know. It just makes me sad because it just shows that exclusion is bad, but its been happening so much lately. And I know for a fact, that I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Anyway, on a lighter note, I don't know what I'm doing Friday. I think its me, Sarah, Lindsey, Ashley and Colleen. There was a plan, but then there wasn't a plan, so I'm making my own. 3 out of the 5 of us wanna see Monster-In-Law so we'll do that. And I think all of us wanna go shopping, so Woodfield is def. an option cause it is big and has a movie theater. But I can't call everyone tonight (because certain people are being exclusive) and some people just aren't home. So whatever, if they don't like it, they don't have to come.

Anyway, I'm done babysitting for the week and LOST and ALIAS are new tonight. I'm out.

Heh Heheh Heh, Old Hickory... Heh
- Monday, May 9, 2005 | 02:24 p.m. -

Monday. Meh.........

This weekend kinda sucked. Saturday after taking the SAT me and my mo drove up to Wisconsin to meet my dad and brother up there. I put the 'SArtist' function on my iPod on Keith Urban and listened to 44 of his songs each way. Yay for Keith. In the beginning of the soing, "I Could Fly" There is some inaudible muttering then Keith says "Old Hickory" and starts giggling. I never noticed it before, its real funny.

Sat. night we just went over to the Lodge and played pool, ate steaks and played with the cool digital jukebox thing they have.

Sun. we went to Maggie Mae's and drove home.

In Keyboarding we all had to pick horses for the Kentucky Derby. I got some horse named Giacomo, and his odds were 50 to 1, so I totally forgot his name. So then today I came into class, and Mr. Kibs was like, "Who had Horse #10?" And it was me, and he was like, "Your horse won the Ky Derby!" So then I got some Jr. Mints. Yum.

Ew. Jennifer Garner's pregnant with Ben Affleck's baby. That's so sad!

This morning at school both Allie and Kristen had amusing Keith Urban stories for me. V. strange..

Today was the worst day I had in a loooooong time. Everyone was being so retarted and mean and GRRRRRRRR! I seriously can count the people who I'm not mad at on one hand. People suck. And I have to go babysitting later. Meh. I hate today! FHNWVFHRVWHRUIEWYF84TUI54UFC

I'm Breathless
- Thursday, May 5, 2005 | 08:10 p.m. -

Duuuuuuude. They just played the new Keith Urban video on the VHI" Country channel. *Shudder* It was fabulous... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. He's barefoot, its so cute. Aw, Keith. Cant wait for this summer.

So, yeah, just chillin, babysitting. I like these people, they have good TV. The lady said that I'd prob. be here til 10:30. Duuude, way past my bedtime, but thats k cause I have all my history crap I need to stufy for our "evaluation" tomorrow. She won't called it a fricken test, its an evaluation. Whatevs.

Bored as fricken hell. Dude, they're playing the first Rascall Flatts video from like 5 years ago, and the lead singer is JUST AS UGLY. The hair ruins everything... if he'd only change the hair... well, he'd stull be ugly... nevermind.

Anyway, this keyboard is really hard to type on and I need to do history and watch more VH1 Country. Yaaaay! And I get mone. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! OK.

Look At The Cute Sailor!
- Wednesday, May 4, 2005 | 09:36 p.m. -

Yaaay! I have pmoneys! Well, not for long. I had $60 an hour ago, and then I went to Best Buy cause the CD player in my car broke, so I had to buy a wireless iPod transmitter (its SO FREAKIN COOL!) and I need gas and the Country Weekly subscription. There goes my $60... at least I'm babysitting again tomorrow. :p

Oh, I'm sad. I asked my mom if I could have a dance party this weekend, but she said that we were going to Wisconsin. Meeeeeh. That makes me sad. I want to dance crazy, but alas, I cannot. At least I can use my cool new wireless player thingy...

Meh. SAT SAturday. AT least I know a few more people who are taking it there, so it'll be cool. I'm thinking lunch afterwards. Mmmmm...

Ok, so, funny story. Today I was in the deans office cause I needed to print something (all the computer labs are closed cause of the APs) so I was waiting for the thing to print, and all of a sudden Mrs. J walks in and was like,
"Wanna see a really cute sailor?"
And since I'm deaf about 40% of the time, I thought she said that, so I didn't respond cause it made no sense to me. But then she said it AGAIN... so I went over to the window and there was this guy in a white sailor uniform just walking in the grass. ??? I didn't get it either.

Oooooh - I learned how to play a WHOLE ENTIRE SONG on the guitar yesterday!!! *Pats Self On Back* It's called "The One Chord Song" and its by KEITH! Yaaaay! KEITH! And its so funny, I love it. I had his old seld-titled CD in my hand today at Best Buy, but then I realized that I only need to download the other 6 songs from the Cd, and it really wasn't worth $15. Maybe next time.

So my mom's an idiot (what's new?). I asked her to tape LOST for me while I was babysitting, and I come home 10 minutes after it started, and she was like, "It's a rerun." And I was all, "Nu-uh! I checked on-line and it said it was new." And she's like, "NO, its just like last week's episode" ... So I was confused but then I walked over to the VCR, and realized she pushed PLAY (thereby repeating the beginning of last weeks episode) instead of pressing RECORD. Seriously, how hard can it be? The RECORD button's the only one that BRIGHT RED. I just don't get it.

Anyway, its getting late and I'm getting tired and I need to shower and I need to sleep.

I'm Good For the Economy
- Monday, May 2, 2005 | 03:32 p.m. -

Hmph! Kristen said my new haircut looked like Keith Urban's hair. Does not! Mine's longer and darker, and his is... not. Yeah. *Pouts* I have girl hair!

So I ahve to babysit tonight, but I think they only need me once this week - I hope. Then I'm babysitting for another family on Thursday. Yaaaaay for money! They're the one's with the Vh1 Country Channel. :) So by the end of the week I'll have a little over $100 and I need to go SHOPPING!

Things To Buy List

Keith Urban self-titled CD (from 1995)
T Shirts for summer
Um... I swear there were more things, I'm drawin a blank
Oh, I have to pay my mom back
Perfume
Mother's Day Gift
Theres more, I just forgot

Anyway... Today was boring. I felt like I just slept through all my classes. Except for keyboarding. Cause it always rocks. But anyway, pointless entry, I know... Time for noodles. Yay! NOODLES!

At Least It Smells Like Merigolds...
- Sunday, May 1, 2005 | 07:43 p.m. -

Ommmmgggg.. boringest weekend ever. I think last night was the first night in like 57489375 years that I didn't go out or babysit. Everyone either went to the father/daughter dance or were in Wisconsin. Meh. It was so boring, all I did was download and play the guitar.

This morning, I woke up at 1 and then went to get my hair done. It's a lot darker than it was, a bit redder. Apparently no one who works ther understands what it means to "Only a Trip, I want to keep the SAME LENGTH!" Yeah. It's about two inches shorter. I feel naked without my hair.

Kelly Got In Trouble...
- Saturday, April 30, 2005 | 07:06 p.m. -

Ew. My family's watching Harry Potter 2 in the next room. Movie scares the crap outta me. All I hear are screams.

So last night me and a whole bunch of other people went to go see The Interpreter. It was good. A bit confusing, but good. Then we went out to Bennigans. Mmm... potatoes. Then at 11 when everyone left to go home, me, Allie and Linds went to Baskin Robins and then we went to Allie's house for some MARIO KART! Yeeeeeah!

Allie won the races, I won the battles, and Lindsey won... um... well nothing. It was so fun we just sat and talked and it only seemed like an hour, but I looked at my watch and it was 2. So then we just sat and talked about things for a little while more and I got home at quarter to 3. I thought my parents would be asleep like they always are, but they were up and waiting for me and I got in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOT of trouble for staying out late. Very strange, they usually don't care. Hmmm...

So I slept in til 11 today, watched TV til 2 and then went back to sleep til 6. I like sleep. Oooh, and I downloaded a really good version of the bew Coldplay song. Shit. They're coming to the Metro FRIDAY NEXT WEEK! But after hours of begging and pleading, my parent's said that I can't go cause I have the fucking SAT the next day. SHIT, I ALREADY TOOK THE DAMN THING. GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR! I'm so mad, they're not coming to Chicago any other time soon, and I wanted to see them soooooo bad! gfijehntkehtcheow!!!!

!!!

Ooooooo! It's Like a GAME!

A T-Shirt Hanging Off a Dogwood Branch - That River Was Cold, But We Gave Love a Chance
- Monday, April 25, 2005 | 03:30 p.m. -

Mmmmm... mints! They will always be a part of me. So delicious. *Shudder*

Havn't updated for a while. Um, let's see... Last week... Oh yeah, the retreat. That was fun. I was so tired. then I had to babysit and make lots of money. The lady who I babysat for went to a wine-tasting thing and she got so drunk she forgot how much she usually pays me. Heh. I may have raised the price $2... She will never know.

Then I slept for the rest of the weekend. Um, last week not much either. Me, Lauren and Allie hung out like everyday after school. It was fun. Yay for Old Navy and 711 trips. Friday went to the Variety Show. It was real good. THE BLOWERS DAUGHTER! Yaaaaaaay! That was the best part.
...And so it is...

Then Relay For Life. It was kinda retarted. No one was being fun, so me and Sarah bonded over country music and secret crushes. I leanred to line dance with Cocoa! And we saw Ashley's mom driving in Naperville at 1:30 AM... shady.

Sat. when I got home from Relay at 5 AM, I go downstairs to my room, and I realized that MY PARENTS BOUGHT ME ALL NEW FURNITURE! How nice of them! It's real cool. v. pretty.

Then Sat. night I went over to Kristen's and me and Kristen and Dan played DDR for hours and then we switched to Mario Kart (I did real good) and Diddy Kong Racing (I did not do so good... Damn HOVER-thing dosn't even move!) and then we watched Larry the Cable Guy and SNL. And we had the BEST PILLOW FIGHT EVER! Me and Kristen totally won, hands down. It was awesome.

Sunday I slept all day... Ooooo. I'm learning how to play the guitar again. Well, it's not like I knew how to play in the first place. I once tried to learn, but then I stopped and now I'm trying again. ? I think that made sense... Anyway, I found all this sheet music on-line and I'm learning how to play "You'll Think of Me" but I need to get a capo and I need to learn how to play TABs cause they're fricken impossible. Alas, I am dedicated to learn. Just you wait.

Today was crap... have to babysit in an hour. I think this is the only day I have to go this week. I hope. Anyway, I'm gunna go download some new musics, I'm out.

Go to the DAMN JEWEL, for Fuck's Sake!!!!
- Saturday, April 16, 2005 | 09:16 p.m. -

Babysitting. Again. Both Linds and Allie called me to se if I wanted to do something. And I did. But I had to make money instead. :(

Catalyst was real fun. We stayed up late and made all kinds of new friends. Logos is gunna be a lot of fun next yuear, too. I think I want to go to the one at the beginning of the year cause then when I make new friends, I'll be able to see them the whole year long, and of course the more obvious reason, to miss swim practice. Of course.

Ew. Mother/Daughter Fashion Show tomorrow. Too much Benet-ness this weekend. And we have to go to mass. Meeeeeeeh.

Ok, so these people have NO FUCKING FOOD IN THE HOUSE! Last time I ate a can of refried beans. I swear, it was the only thing I could find that wasn't baby formulal. What do the kids eat? I don't understand. They had nooooo food, so I opened a box of pasta, and I cooked it in a SKILLET cause they have no PANS inthe house to go along with the whole NO FOOD theme... And of course they have no speghetti sauce but thankfully I found some parm cheese and salt. It was probably the grossest thing ever. Oh, and then I didn't want to make it look like I opened the box of pasta, so I covered my tracks and re-glued the box shut with glitter glue. Heh. And I washed all my dishes. They will never know...

The Things I Do For Alison Krauss Tickets...
- Thursday, April 14, 2005 | 07:20 p.m. -

Howdy. So the lady I babysit for called me like half hour ago and was like, "Oh, you don't have to babysit tonight." I got off the phone and jumped for joy. I made $60 for 5:30-7 Tuesday. I'm set on money for the rest of the week. Plus I babysit on Sat. too. Yay for rich clients. And the VH1 Country Channel. Mmmm... Keith Urban!

Speaking of Keith (OK, not really...) Um, I've been trying all day for those Alison Krauss & Union Station tickets, cause they went on sale today. So I meant to wake up extra early to get them before school today, but, of course I oversleep and when I tried to get them it was reeaaaallllly slow, so I grabbed my mom's credit card, left my house at 7:35, and got to school in record time. Ok, so I went 20 over... who's counting.
Then at school I got a pass from Mr. Ghettotello (holla!) and went on the Rivinia page to get the tickets too. And it was even SLOWER and the page didn't even load. Well, I was pretty pissed by then cause I wasted my studyhall in the computer lab when I could've been in study hall in the caf with Allie, Rachel, and Emmett. It was such a waste!
Theeeeeen, in Advanced Computer Applications (whatWHAT) I went on to get the tickets ONCE MORE and even with Benet's super fast internet, it was a failure. Hooklers!
Then I went home and tried again. Nope. NOTHING! Then I called 411 and called the damn Rivinia and was like, "THE HELL?!?!? I WANT THOSE LITTLE MOTHERFUCKERS NOW!" And they told me that I could go FAX them. Shit. I don't have a fax machine, so I went on over to my homeys at the UPS store and they did it for me.
*SIGH*
Long story short (too late...) I don't even know if I got the damn things, but I'm asuming that I did cause, seriously, who else wants to go to an Alison Krauss concert. ...I didn't mean that in a bad way... But if we get the good seats, we'll be REALLY close to the stage cause I wanted pavilion seats and the pavilion only seats like a few hunderd people. So yay!

Ew. Alias last night. Two Sloanes. Duuuuuuude.

I just went to Dominicks (I know, I hate that place...) and I bought the REALLY REALLY big bag of Lifesaver mints. The one that equals two of the smaller bags in one. Sick. I swear I'll eat them all. Mmmm... I just got a melter. I ate a whole bag last night for dinner too. I can't help it; they're just. so. good!

Anyway, I think this should be the lst update for this weekend. Tomorrow I have Catalyst, that retreat thing for school. Thats an overnighter thing. Shit, I forgot to pay my money again. Meh. There's always tomorrow. I really hope I'm in Maggie's group for the retreat. That'd be awesome. Ha. The really good babysitting lady (with the Takeout Taxi and VH1 Country Channel) called me to babysit on Sat. the 23. Dude. That's Western Night at ZG! Me, Allie and Kristen are gunna party up in there. It's gunna be the funniest thing I've ever seen! I passed up $60 to go, so it better be good. No, it totally will. I can finally make fun of all the people who go in there and experience the madness for myself. It's gunna be awesome!

There's Two Ways We Could Do This, I'll Let You Decide: You Can Take It Somewhere Else, Or We Could Take It O
- Monday, April 11, 2005 | 03:40 p.m. -

Goin to Old Navy at 5 with my mom cause I need a new bathing suit. I just got the one with the giraffe print, but I can't wear that in public - onoly at Keth's pool. I saw this crazy rainbow one at Old Navy for $10 a peice! yaaaaay! and since I got paid on Saturday ($65, what-WHAT?) except for gas that like 578427594320 dollars a gallon nowadays.

Wow, this summer's gunna kick so much ass. In June I wanna see KEITH in Rockford. I think I can get my parents to say yes cause we pass Rockford on the way up to our cottage, so YAY! Then In July I'm gunna take Linds to see Alison Krauss and Union Station in Chicago for her BDay present. It's a pretty sweet present cause I get to go too :) Then I'm gunna see Keith (again!!!) at Country Thunder and hopefully will be able to take friends up to the cottage after the concert. Then also Brad Paisley at the DuPage county fair. My mom said that Sarah Evans and Brad were gunna be in Tinley Park together, but I didn't see anyhting about that yet. She lies like a rug.

Ew. History test tomorrow. Grooossssssssssssss. I don't wanna study, especially on a Monday night. what a HOOKER. And I have to read like 5075094327509437 pages in Brave New World cause I didn't do it in Study Hall cause the physics people were there today. Meeeeeh.

Ewwwww. I heard this awesome, AWESOME song on the radio last night and it was soooooo good. And then at the end of the song the DJ said it was by... RASCAL FLATTS and I almost vomitted at my unpure thoughts of liking one of their songs. Maybe if I pretend like they don't sing it, I'll download it. We'll see... Anyway, gunna start reading my book before I stay online too much, I'm out.

Mmmmm... NEKKID-NESS!
- Saturday, April 09, 2005 | 10:22 p.m. -

Thats the only reason why I babysit in the first place. not for the money - for the videos. i just saw the one for "You'll Think of Me" aka TAKE YOUR CAT AND LEAVE MY SWEATER!!!!! Keith was nekkid. NEKKID!!!! It was fabulous. Mmmmmmm... Keith nekkid. I won't even go there. In the video for "Raining on Sunday" he's TOTALLY NEKKID THE WHOLE TIME!! And the whole time he's bangin some chick in the video. i need to download that sweet peice of ass right now.

We all took it at South, 'cept for Ashley who went to downers south. crack whore

I vote for Keith in every category. Except for the female ones - Gretchen'll dominate those.

I'm thinkin I want to go see Kenny /chesney again this summer for 30 bucks. it dosn't get much better than that sexual tension between him and Uncle AssKracker, it sure dosen't. its so hard to type on this goddamn tiny keyboard. i need my big one. i wanna go home. :(

I Wanna Kick Off My Shoes & Run in Barefeet
- Monday, April 4, 2005 | 08:46 p.m. -

Ya know, I just love my family sometimes! I came home form babysitting at 8 and I was starved, so I asked 'what's for dinner?' AND THEY SAVED ME SOME WHITE CASTLE! WC! Yeaaaaaah! And they were good. Except for the one with the onions. I HATE onions. Anyhting onion I will not eat. Little MF-ers. Anyway, it was good.

So when I was babysitting the older girl came up to me and was like "Alison's birthday is Wednesday. She really wants some Polly Pockets." Shit. I don't wanna buy Polly Pockets! But aparantly I have to to be a good babysitter. Kids these days...

I Wanna Steal Your Attention Like a Bad Outlaw
- Monday, April 4, 2005 | 03:46 p.m. -

Man oh man. Busy week. I have to babysit today, tomorrow and Wednesday (LOST and ALIAS!!!). and then again on Saturday. Oh well, I need the money bad cause I'm in debt. And I saw really cute skirts at Target. Yay! I was just wearing a skirt, but then I thought it'd probably get too cold to wear it at 7 when I have to babysit, so now I'm in jeans and my Kenny Chesney concert T.

Ooooh yay! Kristen says that she might want to see Keith with me over the summer at Country Thunder! Then we could stay at my cottage the rest of the weekend. Fun fun.

Mmmm, Sarah's having people over Sat. but I don't think I can go due to the fact that I have to babysit. But it's for the good people with the one little girl who goes to bed at 6. And I get to order out. I'm thinkin Panera. Mmmm.... soup in a breadbowl...

This morning in the car was so peaceful and tranquil. I was drinking my coffee (the whole daylight savings time screwed me up REAL bad... so. tired.) and it was nice cause I hadn't drank the yummy coffee in a while. Even though I burnt my tongue a little, it was still nice. And then Keith wsa singing "Making Memories of Us" to me, and I melted. Esp. when he says that whole thing about the 'warm wet kiss' *sigh* Keith, I love you.

Anyway, I got Sister Mary homework. Oh, BTW, she was telling us how she set three fires in the monastery while making candles. Crackwhore! One was so bad they had to call the fire dept. and evacuate all the nuns during prayer. It was sooooo funny! I love that woman. Not really. Ok, I have homework, I'll update later.

I Sold My Soul For Boardwalk In A Game of Monoply
- Sunday, April 3, 2005 | 06:28 p.m. -

No, not really. I don't think I've ever play a real game of Monoply, now that I think about it. I really want to, too! I've played Monoply Jr numerous times, but I've never played he real deal. Someone play with me... pwease?

Ok, anyway, what I wanted to post before I got off-line was that I'm going back to the pool next summer to lifegaurd for another year. I REALLY didn't want to, but my mommy said that if I did she'd buy me Keith Urban tickets for Country Thunder this summer. Yaaaaaay! So I basically sold my soul for Keith Urbans tickets. Which is fine by me. And there are other advantages, like getting a good tan, making money, and working with really hot guys. Plus I can take a lot of time off if I want. And see Keith. :p

What Is This?!?!?
- Sunday, April 3, 2005 | 05:52 p.m. -

I hate Daylight Savings Time! I hate it, hate it, HATE IT! Why must it be this way? And why didn't anyone remind me of it last night? Thanks to the stupid time switch I missed Michael Chiarello today! I woke up especially early (11:25) and turned on the TV, and he was just ending! And then I realized it was 12:25 and not 11. Psh.

Oh man, I watched LOST from last Thursday... it was SO SAD! Awwwww poor Locke getting his kidney stolen from him. It was really sad, especially in the end when he was crying and then the creepy light turned on. Poor fella. Oh, and why won't Boone die? That show is frustrating. But I lurve Sawyer the most.

Ew. School tomorrow! It's gunna be sick. SICK. And I have homework that I have to do, too. This really sucks. At least I will have some human contact. The only human contact I had was picnic with Kath and lunch with Sarah. Other than that I really didn't do anything with the others. Probably cause their all gone away. :( Anywho, the mom's gunna be back fom Church and I have to get off-line to make it look llike I was doing homework the whole time. I'm out.

Uncle Kenny's Hotter When the Sun Goes Down!!
- Saturday, April 2, 2005 | 05:21 p.m. -

Hey y'all! Ok, so now I have enough time to update properly about the weekend. OK, here goes.

Ok, soWednesday we left around 4-ish. Oooo, I just remembered that I taped Lost & Alias and I havn't watched them yet. Well, I cought a bit of Alias in the hotel room, but it was CREEPY so I think that I'll just watch Lost... Anyway, yeah. We got real lost on the way to Iowa cause we needed gas and we went off hte wrong exit and we almost ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. It was bad.

Then Thursday we took a tour of Iowa. It was really nice. I liked it a lot!! Then I made my mommy take me shopping :p I got another skirt. It needs to stop, I know, I can't help it. And when I babysit next Sat. I need to buy two more really cute skirts I saw. They're soooo adorable, I must own them. Then we just chilled and went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Again.

Fri. we checked out of the hotel and drove back to Illinois to Moline where the concert was. We chilled there for a while and checked out the John Deere museum...

That's one big-ass tractor!

Then we went to Fridays and got foods before the concert started.

Ok, the concert. So I didn't know that Uncle Kracker was actually performing. I mean, I know he does the gay duet, but he actually sang for a half an hour before Gretchen came on. My mom was like, "What the hell is this? This music sounds like crap!" And, of course, he sang his one and only hit "Follow Me" and it was really funny cause the people at the concert were country folk... and country folk don't dig Uncle Kracker. He was like:

"Maaaaan, you guys are quiet tonight!"
*Silence*
"C'mon Illinois, CLAP WITH ME!"
*No Clapping*
"Thank You! Gretchen Wilson is next!"
*Wild Applauding*

How funny. I got some awesome pix of Uncle AssCrack-er, but I'll show you those later. That was really funny, but the thing that was more funny was the lady I was sitting next to. I thought there'd be a ton of teenage girls there (and there were), but there was an equal-if not more-number of old people! So the lady I was next to was SCREAMING for Uncle AssKrack. The whole time! It was hysterical! Someone was cheering for him. Wow. She was really fat and was eating popcorn and screamed soooo loud for Kenny & AssKrack the whole time! I was truely surprised by the astronomical number of fat old ladies there.

Then Gretchen came on and she rocked it hard. She did all her good songs like "Homewrecker" and "When I think About Cheating" and she did some songs from her new Cd that she's still recording. It was really cool. She was so good! They let her sing for an hour. Not bad for an opening act. Then she closed with "Redneck Woman" and "I'm Here for the Party". She was fantastic!

Ahhhh... now Kenny. Ok, I got tons and TONS of pictures. The set was really cool cause in between Gretchen and Kenny they put up all these screens so we could see him better:

He opened with a few songs I didn't know, but then he sang "Big Star" and that's a good one.

And he continued with hits like (I'm drawing a blank here...) "How Forever Feels", "If I Lost It", "I'd Love to Lay You Down" (the lady next to me seemed to like that one a whole lot), "Anything But Mine", "There Goes My Life" ... etc. There was a long list of them.

Then for a second the lights went out and when he came back on he sang "Old Blue Chair" in the actual old blue chair. It was really cool.

Then the fun really started cause he brought Gretchen back on and they sang some duet (not the gay one - that's coming up) and it was an old song cause my mom knew it.

And then they got down hardcore:

Heeeeeeeee!

Then the BEST PART OF THE CONCERT EVER! Uncle AssKrack came back out to sing the infamous
GAY DUET
And they were reallllly into it, those two. At first it started out with a few looks:

But then it slowely evolved into touching:

Then they got reeeeeeal close:

And then it got just plain nasty!

THE HELL? Dudes are GAY, man! Jeeeeez, get a room. That was so out of control!!! Check that picture out. That is wrong. We only joke about the gayness of the duet, but apparently the joke's on us, cause, DUDE - the picture doesn't lie. AssKrack just jumped on Kenny and Kenny gladly recieved him in his loving embrace. And I don't even wanna know what went on after the show either. Dudes, if you're gunna sing about bein gay - go for it, but I didn't pay to see that!
... Sick.

Ok, so that was pretty much it for the concert, but for those of you who don't know the gay duet, I'm gunna post it. Why? Because it rocks my world.

[Reminder: Kenny and Kracker are singing this to EACHOTHER!]
(Kenny)
Sun tanned toes ticklin' the sand
Cold drink chillin' in my right hand
Watchin' you sleep in the evenin' light
Restin' up for a long, long night.

Chorus:
'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' all right
When the sun sinks down, over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down.
Yeah!

(Uncle Kracker)
All day long just takin' it easy
Layin' in the hammock where it's nice and breezy
Sleepin' off the night before
'Cause when the sun goes down, we�ll be back for more.

Chorus:
When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down, over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down.

(Both) This old guitar and my dark sunglasses
The sweet concoction is smooth as molasses
Nothing to do but breathe all day
Until the big moon rises and it's time to play.

Chorus:
When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down, over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down.

Chorus:
When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' all right
When the sun sinks down, over the water
He thinks Cracker's sexy when the sun goes down.

Mmm-Mmm-Mmm
We'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down, over the water
Uncle Kenny's hotter when the sun goes down.

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down.
Hey, Uncle Kenny.

When the sun goes down, over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...

I Am Your Tambourine - Shake Me With Your LURVE Tonight!
- Saturday, April 2, 2005 | 12:45 p.m. -

Hi. Yes, it is me, I'm back once again from vaca. Um... gotta go to Jewel to print out my pictures and I will post them later. Oh yes, pictures! Yaaay! I got an awesome one of Uncle Kracker on top of Kenny at the concert. More proof they're gay together...

watching you sleep in the evening light, resting up for a long, LONg night
...cause everything's hotter when the sun goes down

Do I need anymore proof? Anywho, will tell about the rest of my week including the picnic - I forgot the picnic. I'm out.

Dude - - BLIND JUSTICE is everywhere!
- Monday, March 28, 2005 | 08:39 p.m. -

Meh. Boring day. The only thing I did was sit on my ass and watch TV. At least The 2004 US Poker Champoinship was on. *Sigh* I love watching Poker. If I'd known that I would just stay home today I probably wouldn't have showered. Nice to know, huh? Hey, look - my website is GREEEEEEN. Wow. I'm really bored.

Let's see maybe tomorrow I'll call someone for lunch or something, I really wanna see Miss Congeniality 2. It's pathetic, I know. Hey! New Lost and Alias this week... also pathetic. It's also the highlight of my week as well.

Oooooh, I forgot to add some stuff on my whole weekend in Indiana thing. OK, so for dinner I convinced my family to go to Buffalo Wild Wings cause I'm totally obsessed with that crazy interactive game that they have (meh. the food is OK too. i guess.) and me and my brother were playing it, and one of the questions about entertainment was:

"In the new hit television series Blind Justice how did detective Jim Dunbar lose his sight?"

I was freaking out! Blind Juistice! The one that Lindsey tried out for! Well, I immediatly chose the answer 'by a gunshot to the head' and by no one's surprise I was the only one in the whole restaurant with the right answer.

Then later on after they got done with the whole game, I WON! And it was awesome cause there were like 765843760432 bajillion people playing cause it was one of those NCAA games on and it was completely packed in there, and I WON! And they flashed my name on the big screens and it was wonderful. All becuse of Blind Justice and my wierd non-obsession with it. I've only watched one episode, I swear.

Then the next day when we went to Bloomington to see IU, there was this moving van company. Ya know, like you're average UHaul or something. And guess what it was called? RAPER'S moving! I was laughing soo loud and fortunatly got some funny pictures of an actual Rape Van. I knew the people back home would like that one.

Annnyway, that was my weekend in a nutshell. And I hope I'll sctually get out of the house tomorrow. It's a-gunna be 66! Yaaaay! Totally skirt weather. Must take advantage of that. I'm out.

Spring Break!
- Monday, March 28, 2005 | 04:12 p.m. -

Yaaaay! It's spring break. For the next week I'm sleeping in til 10 (I would sleep in later, but Rachel Ray's on then) and doing nothing. And for a little spring break excitment I changed my site! Yaaay for Jimmy! I know, it makes no sense to me either.

This weekend was REAL long. Right after school on Thursday we left for Purdue. It was supposed to be 60, but it was like 30, and I was freezing the whole weekend. Friday I met up with Kristen and we took a walking tour of Purdue together. Its a really big school, I really liked it. Then we had lunch in the Union and decided to do a little DDR before she left.

Saturday we went to Indiana University. Their campas was soooo pretty! All these trees and rivers. Plus the tour guide was really hot. We went bowling in the Union and I got a 139! TWICE! I'll be ready for next Friday.

Um, other than that nothing really happened. We did an Easter Egg hunt yesterday. I'm never too old for free candy. NEVER. Well, I'm gunna get off line now. Or maybe not... we'll see. I'm out.
