Do you ever just really want the phone to ring? I mean, obviously, you want it to be for you, but really, am I the only one who just wishes and hopes that today someone will call. I like the phone far more than messanger or e-mail. It's so much more personal. Now in an attempt to not sound desperate, I don't have this feeling all the time, just on those long days. Getting a phone call is so fun. It's so cool, I mean someone wanted to talk to you so much that they found your seven little numbers, eleven if it's long distance and called you up. So anyhow, as I'm sitting there doing the dishes for the umpteenth time, wanting the phone to ring, it does. I get this feeling, it's for me, it has to be for me. I answer it. "Hello." "Hi, this is Joel/Jeff/John/Mike/Chris/Aaron/Jason/Ian/(insert boy name of choice here) calling for Erin. Is she around?" "No, I haven't seen her in a week, call her cell."

So, Monday was the first day of school. The word of the year is cleavage. What happened to band shirts being a problem, let's go back to that one. At least the bands were all real.

That was a rather negative way to start. School is going fine. I have a lot of good people in my classes, except still no Sydnie. I think it'll be alright this year. Although I really miss some people. For example, in the past three days something has happened and I've wanted to tell former seniors and forgotten that they don't go to Lakeside anymore. However, despite that little problem, I'm already sensing that I'm going to get a lot closer with some of my friends that I maybe wasn't before. I'm really looking forward to that.

Also, I really need to learn how to say no. I have had more homework on the second and third days of school than I had at any point of the year last year. I have Swing Choir, A Capella, Contemporary, homework, and youth group planning stuff already. Today alone I picked up two articles for next week's paper and a piece to learn for accompanying A Capella. I'm an idiot.

I hate being right about bad things, it sucks.

I need to quit complaining. I have so many good things to be thankful for right now.

Have a good one everybody.

Chuck Palahniuk: I think he's got Greg in his last name. Toasted.

Today was a very fun day. I hung out with my family for most of it. I love that we've gotten to this point where we can do things together and we all like it and we have a really awesome time. First we went to Pegasus games, then we went to the scrapbook superstore, that was an overwhelming experience. Have you ever had the feeling that you want everything, that's what I had. I eventually narrowed it down to $15 of stuff. Really cool place. Then we went to Uno's and had amazing pizza and salad and hour'devours, not sure how I did on that spelling. The whole time was just very pleasant. Oh, afterwards we went to Barnes and Noble. I'm very excited about that. I got One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Fight Club, The Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka(Charles keeps telling me to read it), and for an early birthday present, Bethany bought me this book by a lady name An Na. Now I read her first book because I thought it was totally cool that her first and last name spell out my whole first name, but the book turned out to be amazing, so now I have her second book. If I ever get through the last 300 pages of Roots it'll be fun to read those. Man, Roots is a beast. It's 688 pages long, which in itself isn't such a bad thing, but it's about six generations of this black family, but the first 300 pages are about just the first generation and that's as far as I am right now. It's actually really fascinating and I'm really glad I'm reading it, but like I said, it's a beast. In conclusion to that paragraph, I really like my family. As my mother said, "We're alright, as long as you're one of us."

Yesterday was also a fun time. My little sister and I went shopping in Johnson Creek. I got a new bag and some shirts and lotion and things of that nature, but I actually got through 3 hours of shopping without crying or yelling or doing some form of freaking out, so I felt really good about that. Then I came home and napped, which is always a good thing, especially after shopping. Then last night Blake, Evan and I went to see Pirates of the Carribean. We got there ten minutes late, I'm not sure why, I mean I know why, but I don't know why Blake and Evan were behind, oh well. It was actually really fun because we were the only people who showed up for that showing, so they started it exclusively for us when we got there. We pretty much had a private showing. Ignore the redundancy of those last two sentences.

So, Sunday is the End of Summer Baritone Bash in Madison. It's going to be quite the event, very exlusive, baritones only. I'm excited. Who knew playing baritone would get you into such classy parties. I think there should be cheese cake. Yummy.

Have a grand evening/day/week everybody. School starts Monday.

Toasted.

Bands whose names technically run them out of business.

Jimmy Eat World: Once he's done eating the world, there's no on to sing to anymore, besides, doesn't Jimmy get full sometimes.

Taking Back Sunday: Once they have Sunday, what are they going to do, take back May?

Five for Fighting: That is one long hockey game he's playing.

Ben Tankard: While he's a solo artist, no Christian musician should have the last name Tankard.

Fall Out Boy: Fall Out Man just doesn't sound as cool.

Hoobastank: Well...

The Coors: The majority of them are female. Their bound to get married sometime.

Disclaimer: I don't have anything against the majority of these artists, and I know most of that was bull. It's just the musings of my very odd brain.


Hey everybody, I'm going camping with my family this weekend. It's always a very good time. I'll see you all soon. Oh, and Sydnie, quit worrying about the flippin' Elton John tape. I really don't care that you took it out.

I wish I had a song for how I'm feeling today, let me go look at the lyrics wall.

This has got to be the fastest I have ever written a post that I said I was going to write in a previous post. So, there isn't a whole lot to fill you in on. I've just been going through my little daily routine. Getting up, going to my job, learning about the complex and treacherous mind of a ten-year old, coming home, napping, eating, cleaning, and going to bed. However, there have been a few delightful blips in the routine that make it much more pleasant.

Like I said, I did stuff with Evan on Thursday. Then on Sunday Blake and I hung out and we went to Frostie Freeze and the park and Shopko and Goodwill, where he got a new soccer jersey, and we also went to Papa Murphy's for a visit with Katie. That was fun, I haven't seen that girl all summer. She's great, why don't we hang out, we live like 8 minutes from eachother.

Also, I had Swing Choir on Saturday and yesterday. The good news is we're doing a Latin dance and I love Latin dancing. The bad news is I got partnered up with Nic Kohloff, whom I have never talked to in my life. Now this would not be so bad, because we could get to know eachother or whatever but it's Latin dancing, it's a very close sort of dance. It's the most awkward thing I have ever been a part of at this point. It would also be a lot better if he would come to practices. He didn't even come to the four hour one on Saturday and he came for maybe twenty minutes yesterday. We know the whole dance, he knows two moves. Okay, I'm done now. That's my mega-complain for the day.

Tomorrow I am going to the beach with Ellie, Steven, Blake, and Sydnie. Evan is at camp so we'll be uneven which as you may or may not know, unless you're Ellie(she knows), is a big dilema, but we're just going to have to do our best to have fun. I think we'll be okay. Also tomorrow I get off work at noon, so I can take an extra long nap. I love to nap.

This is the part of the post where I talk about my feelings. Well, today I am stressed, a little, what with school starting soon and me not having as much money as I thought I would at this point, and my sister suddenly not talking to me about anything of any consequence is making me a little tired. But you know, that's not really what is bothering me, Sydnie knows part of it, and then there's the part where I worry to much, and then there's this whole thing with people changing their minds about things all of a sudden. I know that's very cryptic, but I don't want to name names and I'm just venting a little. So, unless you really care, just disregard the part of this post that is about my feelings.

I finally got to bake something from my silly European cook book today. I made these little chocolate pretzels. I like them.

Have a really good day everybody. I love you all.

Ah ha, Everyday by Toby Lightman. That is today's song. I really need to find someone to learn the guitar for that. It's an amazing song.

Tho enter the stadium in 1 min... hahaha... some more still got front seats... at first sianz cos i tot really no hillsong ppl not coming liao... but after a while still ok.. most ppl come at 6 and total got abt 3/4 full... although compare to last year full house is still less and weird cos fop usually is nearly full house...

I'm adoring you for no good reason.

I'll get an actual post in soon, but for now, this will have to do.

Swing choir started on Saturday. There's good news and bad news.

I hung out with Evan on Saturday. It was a good time. Because of it, we both have soft, well-moisturized lips, he smells good (not that he didn't before), and my boss thinks I go on horrible dates to K Mart and gas stations.

I visited with Blake Today. From now on, Today is capitalized just like Tuesday or China. Also a fun time. I like cheesy bread, Katie is very good at making it. Also, I went to my first Goodwill store.

I really should be going now, as I work tomorrow. Ellie, just so you know, although I will call, Steven and Blake can come. We'll talk very soon.

This post stinks worse that a moldy piece of slime floating from an earwig infested tree in the hot summer sun.

You're all repugnant. Why don't you just go stand under a stalactyte and bellow at the resonant room frequency until it crashes down through your cranium. Repugnant!
