A Chick With Nothing Better To Do's Blurty

Time:

1:09 pm.

So, today in church, the Pilgrim Brass Quartet - which consists of Gwyneth, Mathew and Gwyneth's friend Dominic - performed for the 4th of July and things. It went pretty smoothly, I messed up tons, but so did everyone else. And my solo was good, so yay. People kept telling me that I was so good at trumpet playing, and I was like ha, you losers, if only you knew how I really sounded when I didn't have 5th-grade-level music in front of me. The best part? I got $25 for doing it. Woo. I didn't even practice. It rocked.

And then, Mom, Joz, me, Grandma and Grandpa all went out to brunch at Coney Island, and it was yummy. Ms. Price was there with her brother. Cool. And now I'm off to contact Lisa to see if she wants to do anything today. Woo.

Music:	Good Charlotte - "The Anthem".

So, I was at this site, and they were saying how Good Charlotte was a "shitty band" because "The Anthem" talks about how they didn't want to go to college because everybody else wanted them too, how they knew that being in a rock band and giving kids something to help them through the day was their calling. This chick thought that they were saying college/high school is bad, and I just don't agree whatsoever. "The Anthem" is merely stating that the only way you're going to be happy in life is if you do what's good for YOU. If you live your life for everyone else, you won't be happy, and what's worse, you'll miss out on some of the most amazing experiences of your life.

And I'm not just saying all this becaues I'm a GC teenybopper, I'm saying it because I believe in it. In fact, the reason why I love GC so much is because I believe in what they say. That's what attracted them to me in the first place.

This whole thing is a lesson that I learned just by living with my family. I'm totally different in so many ways from my family members. They're all into math and science, and the whole intelligence go-to-college-get-a-job-make-lots-of-money routine. And, a lot of them aren't happy. Sure, they got money, but money isn't happiness, kids. I can tell you that right now. Me, I'm all into creativity, and finding the real meaning of life, and so far, I haven't found a single thing in my Algebra book. But maybe that's just me.

Bottom line: Be you, be happy! Peace out.

I'm sure you were ALL wondering how I spent my 4th of July.

[silence]

Okay, maybe not. BUT! I shall tell you anyway.

Well, most of the day, we were driving home from the vacation, but! We did make a stop at this African Sufari kinda thing. It was cool, we just drove along this road, and all these animals came up to us. A buffalo actually tried to stick it's (massive) head in our car. Eek, it was scary. I rolled up my window really fast, because hello, buffalos are scary, and it got snot all over Dad's car window. Ha.

And there were warthogs and albino zebras and all that great stuff. Cute.

So, then, we finally got home, and Grandma, Grandpa and Alan all came over for a barbecue. And it sucked because Mitch, Sam and Jessie were all up north, and Joslyn wasn't even acknowledging my presence because ALAN was there. So I just watched golf with Grandpa. And it sucked.

And then, Grandpa took me to see the fireworks at Clawson, and that was pretty enjoyable. I tell ya, that city might be small, but it sure can put on a hell of a fireworks show. And talking to Grandpa is always a good thing, as well.

AND TODAY! I went to Blockbuster with Mom, Grandma and Grandpa are coming over, we're watching "Catch Me If You Can", which is a GREAT movie, although I just saw it with Dad, but hey. Leo's pretty easy on the eyes, so I'll probably manage. Heh.

Yep. So, my boring life seems back in order.

I'm back, I'm back, I'm back!

Well. I'm not that excited about being back home, but you know.

The vacation was FUN, kids. I enjoyed myself thoroughly, and I WASN'T BORED [bows down to vacation]. Six Flags is a great place, there's SO much stuff to do there, which is good, because we were there for 2 days. I think I went on all the rides - well, at least all the rollercoasters anyway, I'm not sure if I hit all the kiddie rides. It was great. Great, great, great. Almost better than Cedar Point, even. Woo.

And, oh my gosh! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! That's RIGHT up my alley, man. I loved it. LOVED. I was completely starstruck the ENTIRE time. And, DUDE. I TOUCHED MICHAEL JACKSON'S outfit from the BILLIE JEAN VIDEO (which, of course, was right next to the sign "please do not touch any artifacts")! Oh my goodness, I thought I was going die right then and there. I mean... AH! We're talking Michael frikkin JACKSON here.

So, it was fun. I enjoyed myself, I wasn't bored, Joslyn and I got along great, DAD and I got along great. It went as well as it possibly could have, so. Thumbs up!

New icon... it's Michelle Branch, yay. I loved the Joel one, but I had it since I was like, in Xanga, and that's just WAY too outdated now. And besides, I'm on a HUGE Michelle high, because her new CD is incredible. I strongly advise you all pick it up. The lyrics are from "Tuesday Morning", my favorite Michelle song BY FAR. GREAT stuff.

And, woo, I'm done packing! Now I get do nothing for 3 1/2 more hours! And we all know that I'm great at doing nothing!

Music:	Michelle Branch - "Tuesday Morning" (GREAT song!).

Suprise, I'm writing! I'm not even leaving until 6pm tomorrow, so I was a loser when I said that post would be my last until Friday. I was just in a really negative mood then. I get really weird when I'm lonely/restless/bored :/ That's how I was all last summer, and the summer before then, and I promised myself that it wouldn't happen this time around, but it's something that's pretty much out of my control. I just HAVE to be doing something, and if I just sit around too long, I get depressed. And it sucks ASS, but that's life.

Anyhoo - I did something SOCIAL tonight! Lisa and I walked up to 7-11, and we had a dandy time, too. We talked about HP for most of the way, which you know, is always fun. And THISCLOSE to bawling again when we were recapping the end-ish events. Sigh. That book, I tell ya.

And who wants to know how big of a dork I am? Okay, so, I got some mini M&M's at 7-11, but when I opened them, they looked really weird. Like, discolored and whatnot. I was way concerned about my safety at the look of these, with good reason too. Like I said, our 7-11 is rough. So, I start dumping out the M&M on top, and Lisa was like "what are you doing?!" I showed her how odd they looked, and she was like "Oh my gosh, Carolyn!". She grabbed the container away from me, and pointed to the outside, where it was advertising, quite plainly, the new CONFETTI M&M's. Which was why they were so... odd looking. Heh.

Yeah, and I wasted like, a fourth of my M&M's for no reason. Which sucks. Blah.

Anyway, Lisa and I were having a dandy time, so we went back to her house and watched "Rat Race". Which is the best comedic movie I have EVER seen, mind you. Oh my goodness, that movie sure gives me the giggles. I love the guy who pierced his tongue himself, which caused an infection, and now he can't talk. QUALITY stuff.

Um. So, that was my wild social night out. I realize I need a life, thank you.

(Just a sidenote: I'll try and write tomorrow, because, like I said, I'm leaving at 6pm. But - I haven't even STARTED packing yet, so eesh. I'll be doing that for a good portion of the day. So just in case - I'LL MISS YOU! SEE YOU ON FRIDAY!)

Yep, so I'm going on vacation with Daddy-o from tomorrow to the 4th of July, so no entries until then, as I won't have access to a computer.

Anyway, today Joz and I cleaned the entire house so Mom would pay for Jake's vet bill, heh. Jake's pretty darn sick. It's not a good thing. And he's old and stuff, and... just. Not a good thing.

And that's all I have to say for right now. My life is boring. Yee-haw!

Pacific Sunwear + my mom's $100 = Happy Carolyn.

Wee, I got two very sexy shirts today and dude, I'm so happy. <33333333333 Pac. Sun.!

And, the whole purpose of the shopping trip was to get a new bathing suit... oops. I guess I forgot :/

But anyway, Joz and I had barrels of fun at the mall. And - a hot 20 year old checked me out! Score!

After the mall trip, Grandma and Grandpa took us out to Olive Garden <3333. GREAT place, let me tell you. I freaking LOVE their lasagna, yum. I had fun.

And now, we're waiting for Alan to come over so we can watched "For Richer Or For Poorer". Should be a fun night.

But, alas, I must go now because, hello, there's thunder storm warnings! Eek!

Guess who woke up at 12:45?!

Yep, and it felt darn tootin' good too.

Anyway, Joslyn comes home from work at 1 and she has a KILLER migraine and OF COURSE, this is like, the ONLY time our house isn't full of caffiene/migraine medicienes.

So, Joslyn needs to go to 7-11, to get some Mountain Dew/Excedrin. Only problem - she's wearing, like, NOTHING. No bra, anyway, and a real skimpy spaghetti strap shirt and these short sweat shorts, because, hello. It's summer, who wouldn't wear something like that? Anyway, the 7-11 by us is rough, and it's probably not the best idea to prance into it wearing something like that.

So, how do we solve this problem? I, wearing sweat shorts with broken elastic which causes them to fall off me everytime I make a sudden movement, will go with her. 'Cause, you know, it might be harder to rape TWO girls, instead of just the one.

And of course, as soon as I get out of my car, my shorts are slipping real bad. Just to give you an idea? Somebody honked at me.

So, yeah, the whole situation was rather humurous, I thought. Which is why I'm writing about it, I guess. It's either saying that, or that it's the only thing I CAN write about because my life is so dull. So.

1. How are you planning to spend the summer?
Well, I WAS planning on spending everyday with my friends, but so far, this isn't happening.

2. What was your first summer job?
Not yet. I'm only 14, mind you, and that's not old enough for any job. Which sucks, because I NEED MONEY!

3. If you could go anywhere this summer, where would you go?
Anywhere, I don't care, as long as my company's good.

4. What was your worst vacation ever?
Oh gosh, this one vacation, my dad planned it, and dude, we just went around looking at MUSEUMS. Like, science museums! It was SO dull. And my dad's the cheapest thing, so we got this ghetto hotel with a broken TV and a bathroom door that didn't close. Augh, it was hell.

5. What was your best vacation ever?
Um, I would have to say the cruise, because I did a bunch of things most 13 year olds never get to do. I was really depressed then, however, so it could have been way better. I so wish I could go on the cruise NOW and have the time of my life, but hey. Didn't work out that way.

So, all this talk about vacation has got me thinking about the one I'm going on MONDAY! It's with my dad, so it won't live up to its full fun-potential, I'm sure, but still, it's something to look forward too. We're hitting a bunch of cool places in Ohio, such as Six Flags, Sea World, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, etc., etc. Should be barrels of fun. I think. Heh. I wish I could bring my blurty along, because there will be undoubtedly a ton to write about. Perhaps I'll just bring a notebook, but argh, I DESPISE writing by hand.

Anyway, I think Joz and me are cool now. It seems we have reached an unspoken agreement to forgot whatever happened yesterday, so yay.

Dinner with Dad was okay. We went to Friday's, which is not my favorite place. We only went there because he had a coupon, of course, that cheap idiot. And it sucked, because he told us we were going to Applebee's, and I was TOTALLY craving an Applebee's grilled cheese. But, despite that, it was fine. Dad took me driving at Hatherly this time. Heh. I drove in Hatherly a bunch today.

Grandma and Grandpa are here at the moment. They're great. I love them both so dearly. But I can tell I'm gonna get sick of them REAL fast.

So, Stacey is over Sarah's house.

AGAIN.

Yeah, okay, I know they're good friends and everything, but really now. I thought of them as my two best friends, and right now I feel like they don't feel the same way, because they haven't once invited me over.

And just blah. Blah, blah, blah. I'm so bored and my two best friends are off having fun together, without me.

This sucks. Summer really isn't ALL that fun, ya know. I get lonely so fast. Like, I don't WANT to go back to school, but... it's gonna rock when I do. TAPP is going to be crazy. And. I'll be surronded by people all the time.

Joslyn is STILL mad at me. And, I STILL have no idea why. I hope this doesn't keep up, I can't stand the thought of not being on speaking terms with Joz during dinner with Dad tonight. Blah.

Anyway, Alan just dropped by because he was on his way to Roseville Library, and he knew that Joz had some books from there that need returning. We couldn't find the books, however, so Alan just hung around, and showed me his dad's car, which usually I wouldn't be very interested in, but! You should have SEEN the music system on that sucker. Woo! I was jealous, and don't even have my liscense yet.

So then we took advantage of that fact that Joslyn wasn't home (because she screamed at us last time we suggested doing this, because Alan's obviously not my parent, and I obviously don't have my permit, and blah blah), and Alan let me drive his dad's car around Hatherly's parking lot. It was fun, a lot more relaxed than when Dad takes me driving, blah.

So. That's the extent of the excitement today. Ah. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING FUN! My friends are suprisingly BORING this summer. Blah on them!

Okay, so my sister is officially off her rocker, kids. I'm not even kidding. She's mad at the whole world and nobody knows what they did wrong and it's scary. She was even yelling at Alan and wow. That like, never happens. You should have seen this girl on the way home from Target, I was honestly SCURRED. eessssh.

Well, one plus side of going to Target with the female Voldemort is that I got the Michelle Branch CD, woo. It's pretty good, I listened to it once through already. My favorites are "Find Your Way Back" or SOMETHING along those lines and "Breathe".

Mom's going up to her best friend's cottage in Leland tomorrow at 6am. Grandma and Grandpa, for some reason, are staying with us, though I would think with Joslyn being almost 17 and Mom only going anyway for 2 days, we could stay by ourselves, but whatever...
