Parsons called me yesterday. She took the bar. And she is finally free. I am going to see her tomorrow night, yippee!

we found out at least 2 other cars have been broken into on our street recently. one had nothing taken and the other only had their handicap tag taken. but no one else had damage like me. pisses me off...but seriously, what did the people think they were going to get? they break into 3 or 4 cars, at least, and make away with nothing. idiots.
the big brother feed is getting boring. the people who are nominated for eviction this week have the same conversation every day. i feel like cbs just replays the same convo. but they are sitting in different places. "i played this game with intergrity" "allah is going to get him" "james is this" "janelle is that" "i just can't believe their morals would let them do that". such idiots, and hypocrites. just cuz you got the shock of your life this week. and last week you all were the rudest people ever to kaysar (who marianne loves), why wouldn't you expect something? it's just so ridiculous. good thing i only signed up for one month of feeds and not the whole time, cuz i will probably cancel after the one month cuz it's getting so boring.
tv guide is changing their layout come october. dammit. i get a subscription for the covers. eventually, i want to do what i saw in a magazine once, which is basically wallpaper a wall with tv guide covers. it was awesome. so i have kept the covers i like. but now they will be making the mags big size (like regular mags) so it won't work out. and i just freaking extended my subscription. i am pissed.
it's too freakin hot here. heat index today could be up to 114. somewhere in va this week had the highest heat index of the country at 120something. it's really rather ridiculous. i blame gwb. it's his fault it's hot. and i want to move north. maine may not be north enough, amy (how hot is it?) that i may have to move to canada.
i really didn't feel like using caps today...

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything. |

Went to Trader Joe's yesterday. Got a heavy bag of stuff for under $30, so I was so excited. Got all 3 of us lobster bisque. Had it for breakfast and it was SOOOOOO good. Also got more whole wheat spaghetti, pad thai, chicken pot stickers, boursin style cheese, granola bars, fruit leather, whole wheat "British muffins", and peanuts (for the pad thai). YUM!
Watching the Big Brother live feed is so addicting it's ridiculous. And very sad. And I can't pull myself away. Good shit went down last night and I actually had to finally go to sleep at 3, still missing some stuff.
Cari and I headed to Frederick last night because it was Megan's bday yesterday. Met her at Bushwallers and was there for about an hour and a half before joining the other people at Olde Towne. Then we left not too long after getting there...I did wait around til I saw Laura, who I last saw in January so yay. She's good. Cari and I hit Sheetz before coming home.

I cracked!
I signed up for Big Brother's live feeds. How sick is that? I must be insane. Or bored. If I don't see anything exciting in the next 2 days, I may cancel. You get 3 free days at first. It's kinda creeping me out now though, cuz all 4 cameras are on people sleeping. No one snoring right now, but I can hear someone breathing. I may have to turn it off and come back later. Someone wrote yesterday good stuff happens when most of the house is asleep so I was hoping that getting up early I would see SOMETHING. Guess not. We'll see...
Dean tonight! It feels like we were just there. Yay, I can't wait! Alternate Routes too, so yay! My other Laurie Notaro books came in the mail yesterday, along with the new Sophie Kinsella, so I am super excited. I have to finish the one I am currently reading first, though...better go do that.

So Busch Gardens yesterday. It was pretty fun. Dad and Eric of course drove me CRAZY the whole time I was with them, Eric more than dad. Eric just won't shut up and it drives me crazy. He has to make comments on everything. And when one of us tells a joke or makes an observation, he has to like extend it, stating the obvious, totally ruining the fact that it didn't need explanation. And that's annoying.
Anyway, I had a banana and milk for breakfast and I was still nauseous before riding anything. But it wasn't bad and I figured let's try. So we rode the train to the back of the park and Eric and I went on Alpengeist. It was a hanging roller coaster. It was a really good one (Eric immediatly went on it a second time)--very smooth. And there was practically no line. Didn't help my stomach but didn't hurt it either. Dad and I were searching for a soft pretzel to maybe help my stomach. After a bit, Eric and I decided to go on The Big Bad Wolf roller coaster (we never found pretzels but I did have an icee thing). Long line, but not too bad. Stomach still the same after. Someone told us they had pretzels near the front of the park so we made our way that way and ended up with nothing. Then we figured it was time for luch so we went to the Fest Haus and I had great sausages and cake and entertainment. We went a did a build-a-bear type thing for Cari (although it was a monkey) and painted some pottery (should be in the mail to me in 2 weeks). Eric and I went on Appollo's Chariot (that is the Fabio roller coaster). It sucked. I sat on the right side (4 across) and I felt like I was going to fall out--you're not protected by like anything in front of you and on the side. You have this one thing that comes back onto your lap and that's it. Scary and I refuse to ride it ever again. All 3 of us went on Roman rapids, and after not getting too wet, hoped back in the not long line for a second time. Eric wanted to go to a store before we left so he left us and dad and I came upon Escape from Pompeii, which is a water ride. Dad didn't want to go but I did...my first ride ever by myself! Aren't you proud?
Here comes the big kicker of the day...My mom called while I was on the ride. Got out my cell when I got off and saw. Called her. My car window was smashed in. And there was a screwdriver stuck in the door. On our street! How scary. It really didn't affect me much, I was more concerned about the CDs in my car (nothing else much in there I care about). I almost was thinking why not take my car? It's ten years old and I could always get a newer one to replace it. BUt this shit just doesn't happen in our neighborhood.
We left the park and came home. Dad thinks someone was in his car because a few things were moved and quarters were missing. He doesn't keep much in his car so he didn't think there was anything for people to steal (he had left his car in front of our house, parked in front of mine on the street, while we took a rental car on the trip). So my biggest problem is knowing there is someone out there that would do this here. I can't keep anything in my car now because I wouldn't want it taken. Luckily, anyway, most of my CDs are in the house but the ones in my car are mixes that are more sentimental. I may have to now do what Parsons did in college and carry a CD case with me everytime I go out to drive.
On a final note, right before dad picked me up on Wednesday, I got the mail. In it was a jury summon (summon? summons? whatever). So I have finally gotten called for jury duty. So exciting. I had a feeling it was coming. I have had to fill our paperwork in the mail a few times recently giving them more info or whatever. And it just so happens I was thinking about it last week--thinking what if I get called for jury, what if it's Mike's pedophilia case (mentioned in a previous entry) and then I could be like, I worked with him I can't do it. But there is no way his trial would be this soon (my date it August 8th). I am like number 140something so I might not even have to report in. We'll see...

OK, fine, I'll blog. I don't know if anyone is reading but I will cave. People haven't been commenting on my myspace blog much either. It's usually Cari, which is rather upsetting. Especially since the most communication we have usually is over blogs and comments, seeing as I hardly ever see her, even though we live together.
Off to Busch Gardens today with dad and Eric. We are spending tonight in a hotel and then going to the park tomorrow. We'll see how much hair I pull out of my head after spending that much time with them. I can't wait to go on Fabio's roller coaster. You know the one? Alpengeist, I believe it's called. He was shooting a commercial when it came out years ago and while on the ride, a bird flew right smack dab into his face. How mean is it that I think that is one of the funniest things ever? I might not think it was funny if it were someone else. But Fabio. Who women "love". How gross is that? Now when I think of Fabio though, besides thinking of the picture of what the bird did to his face, I also picture him in Bubble Boy. Wasn't a big part and wasn't funny or bad or anything. Just there.
Got the new All American Rejects CD yesterday. A little perturbed. Went to Target with mom (after going to 3 other stores on errands). All around the store, picking up everything else on my list. Finally get to the music section and I don't see any of the CD. Not even any of their first CD. It came out yesterday! Under "New Releases" were things like Backstreet Boys and Black Eyed Peas. How long have those been out? FOREVER. Well, not really forever but long enough to have been replaced on New Releases at least 3 times. I saw no signs of any other CDs that came out yesterday, not that I remembered anything else that was supposed to come out. SO I went over to someone who was in the camera area. Now let me tell you, when I went to buy Rob Thomas' album months ago, 2 other people were looking for it. They approached the guy in cameras and he went in the back looking for it. No questions asked. This time, however, the guy told me that was not his area and he would talk to the guy who was in the back. He was gone for like 5 minutes, after which he came out and told me they didn't have any. HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE ANY? It came out today and it's not even noon--the store opened at 10. And it's only $7, the cheapest I saw in any ads. I said "but it came out today" and he's like "well, he says we don't have any". The guy spoke to me with no inflection and pissed me off. I was too pissed off the ask to speak to "the guy in the back". So I checked out and went to Best Buy, where I proceeded to buy the CD for $8. And I got a survey on the end of my receipt, like I do all the time. I went online and filled it out and when asked "how do we compare to the competition in...stock availability" I checked "COMPLETELY SATISFIED". Effing Target people.
OK, I better pack, seeing as dad could be here in 2 hours and I also need to shower. I did make a list for myself, which I always have to do, so it shouldn't take me long to pack. Wish me luck...

OK, so I pretty much feel really ill in my stomach right now. Cari called me today to say someone we know was arrested for pedophilia. I don't know if I spelled that right but you know what I mean. He worked at JCPenney when we were there and worked at Suncoast after that. Cari actually applied to Suncoast through him and he was fired right before she started. It's really creepy.
I hate people in this world. They piss me off. Why do you need to hurt others? Seriously, what good is going to come of it? It's very upsetting watching the news today but I can't make myself turn it off. I didn't sleep all night worried about my application for employment (and whether they got rid of it) and then I wake up today and people are dead. I guess, technically, if I thought about it, every day I wake up people are dead. But when things like this happen and cover the news, it just makes it realer, if that's a word.
I was on the phone with Cari--she was listening to the radio on her way to work, and I was watching news and we were sharing what each of us had heard. She said "Imagine" came on the radio and she was about to cry listening to it. What a powerful song.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You...you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You...you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

So Jamie and I went to Frederick last night to see Josh Gracin for free. Such cheapskates we are. Anyway, he pretty muched rocked. We couldn't see him well from where we were sitting cuz there were way too many people in front of us and we only brought a blanket, and plenty of others had chairs. He covered Rascal Flatts "Bless The Broken Road", which I love, 3 Doors Down (I am totally blanking on the song name), and Garth Brooks (no idea what song). Jamie asked me what he sang on American Idol and I had no idea. She said someone needs to cover Bon Jovi...guess what? Yup, he totally sang "It's My Life" after Jamie said this!
We were oh so psychic last night. We saw Maryland (Jamie's school) and Virginia Tech (her brother's) shirts on people. I said all we need now is a Penn State one (cuz we were just by Hood) and low and behold, I looked to the left and there was someone in a Penn State football shirt! HAHAHAHA
Mom and I are going to work on the storeroom today. It's going to be oh so fun. NOT. But hopefully I remember to bring my iPod so I have something to distract me.
PS, I have tried to delete the post below (for obvious reasons--I don't remember even hitting publish cuz I looked at it and it didn't come out--I had errors!) but Blooger is giving me lip...
