I know we're...

cool.

This might just be a huge post... soo i'm going to break it up into title's so you can tell what i'm talking about.

Will's Surprise B-Day Party

ok, I dont know how I forgot to write about this, but unfortunately i did, which means I'm going to have to recall some stuff. Will's Bday party was on wednesday, which was 2 day before his real birthday (the 12). Emily Templeton and I got him his own personal Mr.Gordo. (That would be a Buffy, thing if you didn't know.) There were a TON of people there, from people who are normally at a Raines' party to people Will said he thought he would never see again.
He said he didnt know anything about it. So it was def. a big hit. Emily T, Megan, and I def. took over the theatre, a.k.a. the world, and watched Buffy. Anyway, Will actually got me a gift when he went down to Florida.

You probably don't know, so I will tell you, Nerf Herder is the band that does the main theme song to Buffy -- Which makes this key chain completely awesome. so again, Thanks, Will!


24 Hour Safari

Ah, the madness that was the 24 hour party.
Well, Cole, Emily Duggan, and I were the heads of this party, this amazing idea, this none-stop joy ride. It surprising turned out better than expected; everyone was having fun practically all of the time. So let me tell you what happened that night.... eerrr... and day

First we started with eating dinner at 6:30pm at San Francisco Bread co. We used to eat there for our off-campus lunch sometimes.
After that (7:30 ish), we went to MacCalister's for some Celebratory Tea.
I left at 8 with Will Raines and Haley Hannah, to try and get something to work by the time everyone came over to my house. I missed the rest of tea and Emily Chamber's house so I dont really know what happened there.
At 9:45 ish, people came to my house to watch Hobb's End... (a serious horror movie, but it's SO bad that we made it into a comedy.) They bought it for me at my surprise party on my last birthday.
It was then about 12:15ish a.m. by the time we left for Graceland Too. This was my second time, and it wasnt really as scary because we had about 10,000 people there. But it was def. stranger... he said so many off-color things, that it was just bad. Talking about how horny he gets and whatever it was just bad. Then of course we had some horrible questions coming from people, that were either just harsh, pointed questions or they were just those that were stupid. For example Amanda goes, "So can we see your guns? the ones you were talking about earlier?" and he def. pulled a gun out of his pocket. Yeah, talk about getting uneasy. However, before we got to the room with the bed, some of the ones who have been before, sneaked into that room and took some awful pictures on top of his bed. ...We were bad... haha. I also took a picture of Matt, sitting on the electric chair without Paul McLeod noticing. bahahaha. I havent gotten those developed yet, so I'll get them soon and post them up.
We ended up getting to out next destination, Gibson's, at maybe 3:45ish a.m. We were already falling behind schedule. We stayed there for awhile, and you could tell people were getting tired.
Next, we arrived at Amanda's for Family Guy around 5ish. We watched two episodes and the sun arose. Most people here fell asleep, aside from Me, Amanda, and a few others.
Cole's house was next and it was about 6 when we started Donnie Darko. We've all seen it numerous time, so we didnt feel bad about falling asleep during it.... though we heard some of our favorite quotes like "Go back to China, *****!" and "Chut up!" "Porky Pig, I hope you get molested!" So we all fell asleep and slept for about 2 hours.
At around 9:30ish, we went to IHOP for breakfast.
Then back to Cole's at 11 to just hang around. 3 of us took a shower at his house, before going to...
Lincoln's costume shop at 1:00ish we stayed there awhile, looking at and trying on some costumes.
We picked up our lunch at Abner's around 2 and ate our lunch at ECS like our outside lunch. We probably stayed there for an hour or so we were probably leaving at 3:15 - 30 ish.
We then stopped at some banks, because we needed to get cash before going to Jerry's Sno Cones. I had the Wedding Cake Supreme, and it was REALLY good, though I couldn't finish it all.
At our next destination, Emily's house, we arrived around 4:45 - 5:00. We talked for awhile as Emily tried finding a movie, they put in Tom and Huck, followed by our suicides. a.k.a. I really dislike that movie. So we stayed there until 6:30 which was our 24 hour marker.

so we made it. we got through 24 hours of just eachother. yes, people were def. becoming annoying. but we dealt with it and whatever. But we're all tired, even though we met again at 7:00 at Huffman's deli.

but i'm tired... and so yeah.

I'll get the pictures developed and post them somewhere.

Tristesse Globale...

Röyksopp one of the most random groups, but a group that I've really come to enjoy, they're new album is called The Understanding, but I must say my favorite song of theirs is Poor Leno, from their album Melody A.M.

Well let's see, I just got back from the DMV with Cole and Emily. (amanda was supposed to come, but she was just "too tired".) Well we went to the express DMV at the Hickory Ridge Mall to get our license updated to get all the restricted stuff off it. If you ever want to see completely depressed people, go to the DMV at around 9, everyone looked pretty much dead and I think they hated us because we were actually talking and laughing. We were
mostly laughing at Stewie and his "Sexy Parties"

So anyway, I got my updated license so now I can drive late... legally now, so it's good.

I was supposed to get my meningitis immunization, but my mom forgot the detail that it cost $85. Actually, she told me it cost $20, she had confused it with another shot. But, so this is the 3rd time I've been down there and I have yet to get my shot.

I've been really tired today and I've been taking naps every chance I get, there's no way i'd make it through tomorrow's 24 hour safari without completely dieing for a little while... but that's what the movie times are for :)

anyways, I am incoherently typing this right now, just woke up from a nap, and so i'm going to stop before i say something offensive or mean like, I hope you all die and burn by a vengeance like none other, originating from the inner workings of my mind.

phew... good thing i'm keeping THAT to myself.

11 days...

...and counting till school starts!

I'm excited and I can't wait to be down there in Tuscaloosa. My parents, on the otherhand, are not overwhelmingly excited. They --they could be any less excited. My mom's been holding back tears almost everyday and I must say that almost makes me want to leave even more.

I just want to get to the point where they're comfortable with me being far away because then I wont have to worry about their mental health or blood pressure shooting up every top-of-the-hour.

I got a pretty nice (also pretty cheap) printer/scanner at HP, so I'll be able to keep up drawing and whatever in college so i'm happy. For my dormroom, I just purchased some posters from Art.com. These are three that I got: (click on any of these for a bigger picture.)

Family Guy Poster Garden State Poster Kill Bill Poster

I was going to buy a Donnie Darko one, but it's pretty much a plain black poster, and I'm trying to make my room a little bit... not so dark... so these were some of the best I could find. I'm still looking for some other posters though... possibly maybe No Doubt? Dashboard Confessional? Radiohead? Keane?

I dont know, there's just so much to do before I go, like slaughtering the city of memphis, I dont know if I can even fit that into my schedule anymore! Oh well, maybe i'll replace that with visiting a nursing home - that always makes me happy... seeing them fall anyways! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
oh sidenote: did you know that most people say "She fell and broke her hip." when in all actuality, they fall because they broke their hip while standing. My bro learned it in a medical class. Yeah, he's a dentist, but he learned it in one of his other classes.

well anyways i think i can check this off my list:

Wrote in Blog: Complete
Informed People about what's going on in my mind: Complete
Picture in post?: Yes, Complete
Said Something Completely Offensive: Complete

yup looks like I got everything. Well later

P.S. My teeth don't hurt anymore! What was hurting was the back part of my gums, they were stretching a bit and well it's fine now, SCREW THE DENTIST!
