Over-Used Word of the Day....Stoked.

So I'm pumped x10000000, right now. Seriously, we go to Home Depot tonight to make a few color copies.....end up walking out the door with a brand spankin' new toshiba laptop that does everything the dell does, has more memory....and is about 300 bucks cheaper. Yeah. Stoked. Plus we're having tacos tonight. We haven't had tacos in FOREVER. Yeah...stoked.

Then I get home and I'm curious and reading blogs and what not....new Jack's Mannequin album....SEPTEMBER 9TH!!! AHH YES! I'll definately be getting on that bus down at Muncie to go to Walmart or the mall or best buy or wherever the hell it stops that has music to purchase it...that day...hell I don't have class until 2 on Tuesdays so you better believe I'm going that morning.

Ok, well I'm going to take my overly giddy self out to the kitchen to help with the tacos...and chips and salsa....yes.

It's Been a Productive Weekend.

So...today after church my Dad decided he wanted to go out to Fresh Market, which is ok with me. They had chocolate roses with chocolate mousse in them. They looked amazing. Didn't get one though, it probably would've melted before we got it back across town, home. Anyways after that we stopped at Walmart at Jefferson Pointe where they have Shoe Carnival and to my suprise my mom's like lets go get those shoes, you liked from wayyy back when were shopping for shoes for prom. So we got em'. My first pair of colored chucks....the first two pairs have been black. Plus they're even kinda Cardnial Red....or atleast they match my BSU hoodie really well.

Anyways we come home, eat and what not...then we go off to Tar-jay in search of a comforter. Yes, I got one....blues and greens, stripes....I like it. Plus a pillow and a robe....but don't think terry cloth here people it's green...and has a hood....with white polka dots on the inside. Now...I just need more storage in my room to put all this stuff before I leave ahh. I think the only stuff I really need to get are books (ehh), storage bins, hygene stuff, and another pair of pj pants. Then I'm good. So I'm going to try to find a place in my already full closet for my stuff....and put some clothes away because they're all lying on my bed right now.

Happy 4th!

4th of July used to mean, spending the afternoon at my grandparent's house...we'd have a cookout...and then around dusk we'd load up the wagon, an old green one, that has removable sides, and I'd ride in it. Anyways I'd be all loaded up in the wagon, with my snacks, and a blanket, and oh and lawn chairs attached to the sides of the wagon and we'd begin the trek over to the apartments that are the edge of my grandpa's addition. Of course this after all of us had been thoroughly sprayed down with bug spray....sticky...smelly bug spray. We'd find our perfect spot along Hobson....right across from the empty field that seperated the apartments from IPFW. Then we'd watch the fireworks being shot off from the baseball stadium, and listen to the radio because they always broadcast the philharmonic live. The best part was going back to my grandparents' house though....because they lived on a slight hill and there hardly ever is traffic on it....So...my dad would push the wagon and I'd steer it into the driveway haha. Sure it changed a bit as I got older and too big for the wagon...and my brother got dibs and then all my cousins moved back from California...and they got dibs...then they built dorms in that empty field.

You can't see crap now, from our old fireworks spot, so we don't have get togethers on the 4th anymore. I miss those. Don't get me wrong, today was pretty great. We went to Angola for the parade at 1....the best parades have Zesto handing out free ice cream sandwhiches hehe. Then we walked the mile or so to the park, where they had a small fair like thing set up....and watched the sky divers coming in...and the park is actually right near a graveyard....the graveyard that my great grandparents and great great grandparents are buried in. So we found their gravestones. Came home, and did dishes and junk and ate. Then it got dark and some guy in the addition behind us, started his own little fireworks show that lasted like 15-20 minutes...and I'm not talking like fountains and little wimpy stuff, these were the same ones that they were on the same scale of the fireworks that they were shooting off at IPFW. So....that was cool.

Of course next weekend, we can parade it up again for 3 Rivers....but no free candy or icecream at that parade and I can watch it on TV...so we'll see. But the weekend after next there'll be fireworks again for the end of 3 Rivers and they're not dumb asses and shoot them off of the big bank building downtown so there are actually a whole lot of good places to go to see them...like Lakeside middle school....heh. So...we'll see....it was just good getting out of the house.

My mom is hoping my very very burnt nose fades in time for my Sr. Pics by Thursday...lmao. They're calling me Rudolph.

Now....I'm Lame.

So lately I've been getting emailed these coupons for like food and laundry detergent....it all clicks in my head this morning....I can use these coupons when I'm at school...lmao. I'll be getting on that bus to Walmart with my fistful of coupons and getting my lucky charms 55 cents off, actually I'm not even a big lucky charms fan...but you know....other stuff. I mean a dollar off Cheerios snack mix.....they have that stuff onsale sometimes 10 for 10...that means...FREE! yeah, I'm a loser, the problem is my mom says that some stores don't accept the coupons from online....well that's what u-scans are for.

No one should let me blog this early in the morning.

Sarah is Grumpy.

So I'm cutting all the junk food out of my diet...or trying to..you know candy, cakes, and what not...God....I feel like I'm starving right now...and my head hurts, and....I'm cranky. This fucking sucks...I just want one of those ding dongs my parents brought home tonight....like riggght now. But I'm holding strong....I gotta hang in there. Grr..damn temptations. In the end....it's going to be worth it right?

Directionally Challenged?

Today, I'm a little less nervous, I'm a little more confident, and I'm a little more motivated. To put my fears of getting lost at college aside I found a map on BSU's site...I've realized that my first three back to back classes are super close together...and that puts me at ease. Well aside from Spanish, I'm going to have to haul butt to get to that one...and get back to English. ahh...oh well. It still puts me at ease...and I'm sure I'll find time during the 5 days I'm there before classes start to do a quick run through of where my classes are.

You're all probably sick and tired of me talking about school by now.....sorry. That's really all I've accomplished today aside from going to the library. Which I was dissappointed that I didn't get to ride my bike there, my dad put them away the other night, and like I've said before, my garage door is a pain in the ass to get open. Ok well....I'm going to go do something else later kidz.

It's Almost July....already.

So the past few days have been well.....I don't know how to describe them. Friday night my mom informed me that on July 10th, I'll be having my Senior pictures taken, yes I did just GRADUATE. I questioned her on this saying.....aren't you supposed to get those taken you know before you graduate? haha. So...I have to figure out what I'm going to wear for them. Oh jou right?

Then Saturday my Dad is determined to buy my mom new clothes...wow wow wow....took forever. I did buy myself some new jeans...skinny ones. Yeah....I tried them on and was all whoa these fit me amazingly and remind me of the pair of jeans I had for three years until the back pocket ripped out...haha I won't stick my hands in the back pockets of these ones all the time, I promise! Plus they were on sale...I'm thinking about going back to Kohls and buying another pair...yeah. We'll see though. We ended up at the Mall too....found my XL Twin sheets, in what I have dubbed "hospital blue" yeah, not crazy about the cover but here's my thinking, I use the XL fitted sheet and since I have these nice chocolate brown sheets, I use that one as the top sheet, and then use one blue and one brown pillow case for pillows and target had a comforter that would pull it all together....yeah....interior decorating skillz. lmao. Anyways, after going all over the mall....we got home 10ish and didn't eat until 11ish yeah....nuts. Oh and that wedding deal earlier Saturday was pretty crazy as well....most disorganized one I've ever been to in my life.

So today after we get the grocery shopping done, and I have some free time in the afternoon I'm surfing the web and come across this show, Back on Campus...where basically these college kids' parents move in with them for a semester and go to class, parties, spring break ect. Oh wow...haha, kinda makes me nervous but I have a feeling I won't be hitting up too many keggers unlike these people. Still nervous about getting lost and making it to my classes on time. I'm a person who likes to be on time everywhere....or even early. Being late bugs me to no end.

But aside from all of this, I feel like I should be doing something...but I'm not quite sure what. My room is clean, I'm holding off on the whole sorting through clothes thing until like a week before I leave, I haven't been able to write anything remotely decent in forever, the most creative thing I've done lately is colored in a coloring book...yes I know lame. I'm going to ride up to the library tommorrow to get some more books....I should read my freshman connections book and answer the questions but it just doesn't look very....interesting to me right now. Plus who wants to do homework in the end of June? By the way, I was at Walmart today....they're already putting school supplies out. Gah, it seems like they start doing that earlier and earlier every year.

Eck, my stomach kinda hurts so I'm going to go see what's on TV or something....gimme something to do?!?!

Thursdays...not so amazing anymore.

It's storming like crazy South of here right now, they've pretty much been getting pounded all afternoon. I can literally look out my window right now and see the pitch black sky...here...it's just cloudy. I maybe rained a tiny bit for 10 minutes if that...it didn't rain enough for me to actually witness it happening, but the bikes are wet. Heh. We've lucked out all day weather wise so far, it's all gone North or South of us. For once...I want it to rain...so I can go out and just....get soaked. Maybe that will wake me up.

This may have been the first day of Summer Vacation where I've been truely bored almost all day. I've literally just laid around all day...or I've been on the computer. Then tonight...I won't want to sleep, but I'll try just because my other options are watching tv or being on the computer which I've done all day. Dammit, next week is not going to be like this....I'm going to call up Miranda and see if I can go over to her house to let her borrow those cds she needs. Heck, I may even ride my bike over, weather permitting of course.

But for now, I wait for my parents to get home....my mom gets off at 5:30 they should be home by six but that RARELY happens, usually it's atleast 7 by the time they get home. Why they feel the need to go to the store EVERY blessed night is beyond me. Pogo here I come....almost to 2 million tokens. Heh.

I'm Thirsty

I feel like...drinking a big glass of ice water right now. But I'm holding myself back because I ate a big meal and I know that drinking all that water will just make my stomach hurt and I'd rather be thirsty eh. Any who...not much has been going on lately...just the usual.

Facebook is amazing, because I keep meeting new kidz who actually live in the Fort who are going to BSU next year....today, I met Marc who is also going to be a T-com major going into production/editing as well. He seems nice and we may even hangout at school we'll see. Right now I just keep having nightmares about my first day not being able to find all my morning classes or getting to them late since I don't really have much time between the first three...yikes. After those classes I'm not really too worried because I should have plenty of time....especially on Tuesdays & Thursdays....Tuesday I don't have class until 2 haha.....and Thursday I have Spanish at 10 but then Psych at 2 again...so It's mainly Monday August 25th I'm dreading haha. I know I won't be getting much sleep the night before...I'll be a ball of nerves. That's pretty much the scariest part of college for me...that intial start of classes. Of course I had that fear going into high school to, hence the first day of freshmen year...freaking out when I couldn't get my locker open and then yet again freaking out when I was scared I'd get in trouble for being late for lunch. And think....I basically started high school twice in my life. Yeah, I think I can handle this...maybe I'll try to scope out where my classes are ahead of time..just so I won't get completely lost.

I still need to find XL Twin Sheets dammit. lol. Grr. Yeah I need to some serious shopping...which I'm actually kind of looking forward to, unfortunately some of it has to wait until I get my roommate assignment...aside from clothes...yeah I have so many right now I can't fit them all in my drawers and I want more....ahh typical girl habit I suppose...hey it's not like I'm going to take ALL of them with me. But another couple of pairs of jeans won't kill me.

NFG is recording right now...they started Vocals today...I'm excited. I want pictures and miss the web cam thingy from Catalyst days..and the video updates and wow just all of it...I feel really disconnected this time around. But I'm still psyched, of course...I'm pretty much psyched about everything these days.

Bicycle Racers Are Coming Your Way....

So it turns out my copy of Start the Machine was completely legit and actually an amazing copy. I watched it last night because well....I couldn't wait. Don't start watching this thinking it's going to be another Urethra Chronicles....that's all I'm going to say. Seriously though...putting the subject matter aside, I really found some of the filming techniques pretty nifty....plus all the CGI work was well done too. I'm probably going to hold onto it....especially since I'll definately be picking up an external hard drive soon, that way I can free up some hard drive space for more...MUSIC.

Which brings me to the new Girl Talk album. Seriously....get it! If all flows together so well, and I like it wayyy better than Night Ripper. Right now my stupid itunes won't see it....I don't know why they're mp3's. So I haven't had any luck putting it on my ipod yet but when I have more time I'll screw around with it some more.

I just got back from a nice bike ride....well bike ride numero 2 today. This morning/early afternoon the brother and I went up to Georgetown and went to the library. Then we had a coupon for Subway, buy one 6 inch get one free with the purchase of a medium drink. Well...we ended up getting a 6 inch and a free drink...haha. So we spent a grand total of $5.05 for two sandwhiches and two drinks...not bad for lunch for two people. Then we went to Scotts to buy cookies because we didn't feel like getting back in the extremely long line at Subway to get some....and I got me some English Muffins for 33 cents! Oh yeah I find all the deals. Anyways after we got home and I chilled for bit I was bored so I went back out and rode around the neighborhood for like an hour....even rode to Kreager...didn't really feel like attempting the river green way by myself. It's just not something a girl by herself should do...incase of you know...creepy people hiding in the woods. Plus I'm sitting here now all sweaty and my chest hurts and feels kinda tight...like Bronchitis tight..GAH! NO! It's too early in the year for this!?!

I'm sure it's nothing though, probably just me overreacting. But the ride was fun, I had my headphones on and just rode....If I didn't live in Fort Rain as Senor says, I'd do it every day. But since the bikes are a pain the ass to get out....because our Garage door is even more jacked up than it was, I only do it when I remember to ask my dad to get the bikes out. Since my finger is still in pretty bad shape after my last attempt to get them out myself. But it's not supposed to rain tonight so maybe he'll let us leave them out over night and I can go riding again tommorrow.....anyone care to join me? You know gotta keep the metabolism kick started because big eating days this weekend...Rib Fest Saturday and then Mom's B-day Party Sunday...can we say home cooked meal....seriously love my Grandma's cooking. I just generally eat too much when I go to her house. Alright enough procrastination....I'm going to go wash dishes or something else boring...heh.
