suckumentary

[/justie]

So I have decided to share my summer with you guys. Not every little detail, just the events that have been happening. I won't tell everything that happened every day, but maybe a couple times a week or so, whenever something epic happens. And so begins my suckumentary (like a documentary, only it sucks).


7 June 2010
The band went to cedar point. an amusement park, for those of you that don't know of it. it was absolute fun, and my group had a blast. we checked out all the cute (but taken) guys in line, and there was this pedophile. i swear to god he was one...he had to be.. -cringes- i got sunburned. total sunburned. i will have the worst tanlines ever. because i don't go tanning (as tanning any way is bad enough), and i don't go swimming much, which means my back is white. it's horrid. lmao. i will share pictures of my sunburn. beware, i look like utter crap (not like i look much better when i try..). i haven't taken a shower or brushed my hair. i feel like crap. but i will share my pictures anyhow. HERE'S a picture of my burn (caution, slight cleavage. not my problem. i would be happy to donate if anyone likes. lmao). and over HERE is a closer picture of my shoulder. yeah, it hurts.

tonight, after dinnertime (probably around 5:45ish) i'm going to my friend catherine's house. she's going to teach me a little of how to play the mellophone. it's sort of like the trumpet, but easier and a little bigger (easier because i can play like two songs on trumpet, and it is much harder). that ought to be interesting, as both of us will still be drained from our cedar point trip. and i am going again - to cedar point - on friday. with my church. it's gonna be insane. i'm gonna wear a tshirt this time instead of a tank top. and i'm wearing sunblock. lol.
/end day.


needless to say, i am extremely stressed out right now. this whole month is going to be stressful. thursday i have a band rehearsal from 12-2 in the afternoon, then at 3 i have an ortho. friday i will be returning to the point and hopefully, hopefully returning before midnight, at least. saturday i have my ACT test, which i don't give a rat's hat about, really. monday i get my wisdom teeth out in the morning, which means i'll be drugged for the beginning of that week. and mom was asking if i'd talked to my instructor about signing up for lessons this summer, and that will just be put on my list of things to do. not to mention signing up for driving school, which will take over my summer and i'm not thrilled about it at all.

/i'm done.

OMG OWWWW. *rubs aloe vera on justie* Poor babyyy. That sunburn looks killer. However I love this idea of updating us on your summer! I think we should all start doing this =] Everytime something exciting happens we can do little diary entries and post photos. Bring us all together even though we're so far apart *tear* Hahaha =]

[Hannah;]

Ohhh justie!! Dude, but at least you got to go to a theme park!!! Totally agree with the summer updates! thats pretty awesome thinking. HAHA. lovin the cheeseyness there Lara xx

[/justie]

holy shit. i didn't realise my pictures were so huge..sorry bout that. XP the sunburn is okay today..i managed to put on a bra, which means it doesn't hurt too badly. i've had worse sunburns. *squeals* everyone should start making their own! i'm curious as to what everyone else does in the summertime.

[angelico ◊]

what about a whole extra board for summer diaries? maybe someone can talk to lara.

unless shes watching this. silly stalker. hehe

[maddi bb !]

I too agree with idea... although, mine will be pree' boring. But lots of pictures of the pony! (:

[/blockquote]

[sky+]

but still. (:

[( LARAFOO )]

(A recap of the events of) 11 June 2010
So i went down to the church and waited for everyone else. gave jared a can of red bull i promised him. we piled into the car, i was smooshed between jared and the side of the car, billy was on the other side of jared. the car ride was kind of fun when we first started off, but then everyone shutup and listened to their ipods and/or slept. i only sort of slept...for about three minutes at a time since i had my contacts in. blah blah boring car ride.

we get to the park, have time for about three rides and then attend the worship service. i sat between catherine and billy. we sang some songs and then left to go ride some more stuff before lunch. we ended up losing billy. i just told cat & sarah that it'd be okay and he'd show up for lunch, like any sensible guy. we go have lunch, indeed, there he sits with the others. we have lunch, billy goes with a different group and we aquire jared and forster to our group. we go ride some more stuff (we being me, cat, sarah & jared, as forster doesn't like the rides cause he's a loser). forster was holding cat & sarah's bags (sarah's had jared's glasses) while we went to ride the mantis. we last saw him getting food. we finished the ride and looked for him in that area twice before sitting down deciding what to do. cat went to the foodstand just to ask if they'd seen him. so we went back to the pavillion, luckily rev. deb was there to call forster's phone (theirs were in their bags). he came back and then we left to go ride more stuff (after telling him to SIT and STAY).

jared had never been to cedar point before (cause he's partially a loser). we were waiting in line for the raptor (one of the greatest rides there). we were going to have the second row of seats. he had to pee really bad. we get on the ride and i'm sitting between him and catherine. we fly down the first hill and he's screaming like a girl, i'm laughing hysterically, catherine is sarcastically 'wooo'-ing and idk if sarah was screaming or not, most likely not. we get off the ride and jared was definitely a fan and ran to the bathroom. we came back for dinner, rode some more stuff, and headed home at about 8:45 ish since they knew i preferred to be home early for my testing the next morning.

we crawled into the car again and everyone was beat. most everyone fell asleep until we made it back to town around 10:30ish and we dropped forster off at home, then everyone started talking about what happened and everything.
/end day.


12 June 2010
took my ACT test. so i was worried it'd be all uptight and official and all, but it was just like taking the graduation test my school gives. i checked in and sat down by myself. there was a blonde girl that came over and sat at my table. she seemed nice, but i didn't talk to her. but i smiled when she sat down. i kept watching the line for any familiar faces, but i was sure all hope was lost. but then i saw one of my friends, brett get in line. i caught his eye and waved to him like a crazy maniac. he came over and sat by me and we made a little small talk. we went to the room for our test, brett sat behind me. the first test i think i did okay on, some form of grammatical stuff..the reading i sucked at because they don't give you enough time and i only skimmed the passages. the mathematics portion i think i did okay on, there were some things i knew and some things where i was like, "how the fuck am i supposed to know this?! i've only taken algebra and geometry!" so i decided to just try my best...which involved a lot of guessing on science. and then i came home and ate lunch and here we are.
/end day.



so now i am tired. very tired. and i'm going to grandma's here in a bit. and i might get around to posting if i don't take a nap first. lmao. (lara. your PM will be getting to you soon. soon as in, maybe this evening. XP )

[/justie]

13 June 2010
just returned from the indians game (they're a major league baseball team where i live) i went to with catherine and john. we had a really good time. there was this hot guy sitting about 5 rows down from us, and catherine got a picture of him for us which she will be posting on facebook for me. then she managed to get me to confess that i sort of like one of her friends (who i've met once at her party, and he's really cool and rather cute, and musically inclined - which is a bonus). and i told her if she told him i'd shoot her. lol. oh, and then me, john, and catherine's mom made fun of catherine during the game. that was pretty fun. so then i came home. ate dinner. now i'm on facebook and here.

not looking forward to getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning, but whatever. so i prob won't be on for a day or two, and that's why. i'm looking forward to saturday, i'm going to the movies with one of my friends to see toy story 3. yes, i am sixteen years old and am going to see a children's movie. suck my toe. lol.
/end day.

14 June 2010
i was sitting in the small room. i can't stand rooms that are uberly sterile. it kinda creeps me out. the nurse lady came in and was talking to me about my summer and stuff. she put the blood pressure cuff on (i can't stand that stupid thing feels like my arm's getting chopped off) and this thing on my finger that monitors my pulse i guess. then she turned on the news for me and left, saying the doctor/dentist/whatever guy would be in soon. i find him to be a rather attractive looking olderish guy. he's italian. woot. anyway. so he's asking about my summer and stuffs. then he's like, "okay, i'm going to put this IV in your arm.." i would've preferred he didn't tell me any of that. i was trying to focus on not passing out or anything. so i was watching the tv and all. so i felt the needle poke my arm and i don't remember if i said ow or not...then my legs started getting all woogly and stuff, and i'm thinking "oh crap, please don't pass out, please don't pass out." then i don't remember what happened for a couple seconds. then i remember he was sort of patting my hand, another nice nurse lady came in and put a rag on my forehand and patted my arm asking if i was okay.

so then he had to put the iv in my hand, and i was okay. that was about all i remember. then i woke up and mom was sitting in the room and he was going over the kinds of stuff i wasn't able to do for the day. i can only eat pudding, yogurt, applesauce. cold stuff. it's alright. and i have to have frozen peas as my ice packs every other half hour.

so that's how it goes. i'm still alive. lol.

[/justie]

18 June 2010
so last night my sister (she's 25, btw) and i had a camp out in the backyard. we have a huge tent that can sleep about six people comfortably (we know cause we rolled over top each other to figure it out). so for most of the story you had to be there to understand how funny it was. i will have pictures up very soon, we took a bunch! and it was pretty freaking hilarious.

two things you must know: you can do approximately 2 and a half summersaults corner to corner in our tent, if you are a smaller built person (translation: if you have big boobs and are a bit of a fatty, one is only possible). and if you are about 5'3" ish, you can do a headstand in our tent (again, unless you're a fatty and don't want your boobs in your face and don't have that kind of balance). i think it was the most entertaining camp out we've had. lol. i'll also have to post the video of sis doing the summersaults. lol.
/end day.


so, chyeah. and now i'm excited because jacy is coming home from vacation sunday!! sad thing is, i have driving school the next two weeks from 6-9:15 at night, which means sleepovers wouldn't really be possible. but mom called my instructor yesterday (no idea why, because she goes showing on weekends) about my lessons, so she'll probably be calling back sometime this next week. woot!

[/justie]

22 June 2010
had driving school last night. 6-9:15 PM. the :15 is sort of extra, he says he tries to let us out early, and we did get out early yesterday. i don't like it at all. i know three people there from my school, but i don't get to sit with them, the driving school assigns your seats. and they seat us boy girl boy girl. i don't really mind that. i don't know what i don't like about driving school. we get two breaks, we're allowed to bring snacks/drinks and can walk to the corner gas station and buy them during breaks, the teacher looks like hugh laurie (no joke), he's funny (however the other kids have no sense of humour), we go through our workbooks and he gives us the answers, and no one's tried to beat me up.

i just don't want to go. -shrug-

on a better note, my riding instructor emailed me. she apologised for not returning our call sooner, as she's been busy and her life's been hectic (her dad died about a month ago now..?). she said she'd only be giving lessons to a few of her clients, and she'd be glad to have me back. so i have a lesson this thursday at 9 AM. i'm so excited! ;D

[/justie]

23 June 2010
(trying to cut it short cause i have driving school in a few)
so it started getting really windy outside today, and my tent was still up outside. i thought for sure it would blow away. i went out and brought all our blankets and stuff back in the house and when i went back out it was POURING RAIN. i dashed back in and put on a pair of shorts and a windbreaker. put the hood up and ran back outside. i started to take down my tent, thinking the rain my hold up after a few minutes. it didn't. i was running around the tent trying to disassemble the damn thing. so i got everything unhooked and pulled it to the front yard, which is not an easy task. you try pulling around a wet tent. they're heavy.

so i pulled all the stakes out and everything and pulled the thing up on the porch. mom said she'd hang it on the clothesline tomorrow. i just hope it isn't ruined.

on a brighter note, my lesson got moved to 8:30 AM tomorrow, to beat some of the heat. i just hope the arena dries out by tomorrow, or i'm gonna be mad. first lesson of the season. -shrug-
sighh. i could really use a nap right now.

tent + rain = leave it up!

1 July 2010

first, happy july.
now, for the updating.

so, have i made any updates about driving school yet..? ok, not really, other than the fact i wasn't liking it. well, lemme tell you guys that first impressions are totally wrong. and i'm kind of sad that today is my last day.

so one of the days we had to do a bit of a group activity. so the kids at the table in front of ours turned around and we just kind gave answers and stuff. the kid sitting to my left, michael, was being really funny. the kid to my right, austin, was so-so. later that first week, we had to do a partner activity. so i was partners with michael, and we had to draw all of the kinds of road signs we've ever seen. he's like, "can you draw...cause i'm horrible at drawing." so i drew the signs as we came up with them. so then time was up and we had to put our names on it so i wrote my name down and started writing his and i'm like, "it's michael, right?" and he says yeah. so i pass in our paper and he's like, "waaait..are you friends with cate lastnamehere??" and for a split second i'm thinking "who the hell is cate lastnamehere..." (her real name is catherine. but her band camp friends call her cate). then i'm like, "oh yeah! yeah." then he says "okay, so you know her and d.r. (don roger..we call him d.r. or "derr")"

michael turned out to be one of catherine's friends that she had wanted me to meet cause he's cool and in band and everything. needless to say, the rest of driving school has been a BLAST. i'm not lying. michael and i crack jokes pretty much the whole class. we'll watch the videos and at the beginning there's this annoying theme music that we bop our heads and dance to. and while we watch the movies we'll make that's what she said jokes, and plenty of other dirty jokes and your mom jokes and everything. and i've been writing our funniest conversations on the font and back covers of my workbook, and other random things in the pages. and it helps that michael is kind of good looking. lol. man. i'm gonna miss driving school.
/end that story.


so i had a riding lesson yesterday morning at eight o'clock. my first one of the season. my instructor is only giving lessons to four people this year, due to the death of her dad. that's all she really wants to give lessons to/has time for. i'm glad i get to be one of the four. i had a really great lesson and didn't knock a single barrel over, no falling, the horse slid maybe twice because the dirt still wasn't totally dried out yet and we were sort of testing the limits of the dirt slightly. and now i'm sore. i pretty much fell down the stairs this morning, and i definitely cannot sit cross legged on the floor, i can hardly bend over to pick things up, and my back probably has a thousand knots in it.


today, i have a piano lesson and driving school, in which i have to take my written test. then i'll have in car stuff to do, and get the majority of my driving hours in. tomorrow i'm going to visit jc and her chubby cheeks and play video games, then possibly shopping and going to a grad party. saturday we're going to a family reunion in west virginia, sunday i'm going to see fireworks with catherine and see d.r. and michael and their band play.
