This is BS. 

Living on your own is great, but it also sucks. Matt moved out of the rental house that Adrienne, Ben, and Ray were sharing, so I moved in to help out. It's great living out of my parents house, but can also be extremely frustrating. Nobody ever seems to want to do any cleaning or dishes except for me or Ray. Adrienne is never there, so I never even get to spend any time with her. And Ray gets kind of upset sometimes because nobody ever wants to come over and hang out anymore because they're all single and we're a couple... and well, you know how it goes. It's hard for single people to hang out with couples, you know?

I put up the airplane ride pictures. Took me long enough, didn't it? The only time I ever get to be on my computer is when I'm back at Mom and Dad's doing laundry. It's not like I couldn't move my computer over to the house... I could. There's even DSL already there. But, me and Ben can't get my wireless router to work with Ben's computer, so I'd have to keep my computer downstairs to have the internet, and I think not. I'm way too protective of my stuff, you know. I want it in my room.

I also have no money to do anything but pay bills, and that really sucks. I'm not used to that at all. I guess that's what being an adult is like, huh? I just wish Ray catch a break and find a job, then I wouldn't have to worry so much about money.

Back to work today. :-( Oh, well. I was getting kinda tired of finding things to amuse myself with. I never ended up getting a car stereo, but I did look for one at a few places. I did buy The Sims 2 a couple days ago. I haven't really gotten the chance to play it, though. I think my audio and video cards are kinda outdated because the game is kinda choppy. I can play it in a window, but that's not really as fun as full-screen.

Ray and I went to the zoo on the 14th. We were planning on going to the Science Center, but when we got there, they were having a power outage, so we went to the zoo instead. I put up some pictures. Check out the Jelly Belly car! It was in the zoo parking lot.

And yesterday I went on my very first airplane ride!!! The Litchfield Airport was offering short sight-seeing rides above Litchfield for $15, and my parents gave me the money to have one. It was so awesome! I took 35 pictures while I was up there! lol I put them up later on.

Today is day 4 of my vacation. Ray, Adrienne and I went to Springfield yesterday. I didn't buy anything until we got back to Litchfield, though. I went to Wal-Mart and bought Pikmin 2!! Yeah!! :-) I love Pikmin! Have you checked out the commerical I put up on the Random Stuff page? Hot Dog! Hot Dog! Mustard! Mustard! I played it until 3 am this morning, and then for about an hour after I woke up. It gets kinda hard after a while, but at least this time there's not really a time limit. I don't know what I'm going to do today. I'm thinking about getting a new car stereo. I guess we'll just see. :-)

Yesterday was the first day of my 10-day vacation! Whoohoo! I don't have to go back to work until 4 pm on the 19th. I stayed at Ray's Wednesday night, then yesterday I had a dentist appointment at 1. I was supposed to get a cavity filled, which I did, but they did the wrong one. I didn't figure it out until the numbing wore off. Figures. I think I might change dentists. They are really nice people, but they're not very bright sometimes. Later on, Ray and I went to Wal-Mart (yeah, I know. It's my vacation, and I shouldn't want to go to Wal-Mart, but I ended up making 3 quick trips there yesterday. lol) to get a new tube to fix Kristopher's flat tire on his bike. Then for dinner we ate some free pizza that Ryan brought over to the house, and some ice cream from Ice Cream Man. We then went to Wal-Mart (lol) and got me a new small blender, some strawberry mix, a bottle of raspberry vodka, Sprite, pineapple chunks, and some ice and me, Ray, Adrienne, and Matt all got sloshed on homemade cocktails. It was a good first day of vacation. :-)

Ugh. This is the second day that I've felt so sick. My stomach is killing me. I was supposed to go to a cook-out with Ray's family yesterday, and then work 4-11, but I never even got out of town. I had to just let Ray go by himself, and I laid in bed til about 7 when I finally went to work. I ended up going home at 10. I thought for sure I would feel better today, but the pain has just moved. :-(

I can't find a case for my Ipod anywhere! It's driving me nuts. I mean, I found some on eBay, but they're super-ugly, and looks are extremely important to me. I did buy this today, though.

Whew! It's been a while since I last posted, huh? Let's see...none of my Meet and Greet pictures came out, but then again, no one else's did, either. Oh, well. I still got pictures from the concert. Plus, I'll never forget meeting them. ;-)

I got an iPod the other day. One of the new generation 20GB ones. It's so freakin' cool. I take it everywhere. I've even been listening to it at work when I know no one's going to bother me. LOL

I put up some more pictures today. I added a picture of my bulletin board in my room where Ray sent a message to me with push-pins, one of my iPod, one of Chester and Mike from the concert, and a picture of the autograph I got at the meet and greet. See them here.
