The Labor Dabor-est

So, tomorrow is the holiday before school. I'll probably...do nothing and have to like it. That sucks. But today, i did do something, which was this:

Went to Ross for school shenanigans. All i got was a hoodie. Went to Target. I got a shirt and a new bag, thank Jesus. I've had the old for too long, and it just looks like i'm carrying a load of crap on my back. Seriously, though. I might give it to someone who needs it. Know anybody?

I can't believe it. Tuesday is the first "school night". And Liz gets to do all the crazy crap she wants. It's weird. Really weird.

Succeeding

Tuesday was pretty fun too. Taco salad for dinner...and then after that, Ariel came over, and her, Sam, Liz and I went bowling, and then we played pool and then rented movies again and went home. The movies? Strangers With Candy, and OpenCam, some gay thriller. And by gay, i do mean homosexual. I'd never say it otherwise. I didn't watch it. Wasn't in the mood for "thrills." The other one was okay. The show is sooo much better.

Yesterday? Nothing.

Today? Went to Taco Bell for Cody's birthday. Then now i'm here. Good times.

After the Fellows of Post-Spring Months Have Departed

During this last summer week, i've done quite a lot so far. And there's onl about 1 and a hlaf days left, and then a few more next week. Yes, i'm pissed, but whatever.

Monday: I went to the Oregon State Fair. Main reason? To see Weird Al for the first time in ages. And let me tell you guys, it was pretty fantastic. The songs? Um...let me see...

After Fat, he introduced the band, and left for a while. By a while i mean, about 2 minutes or something. Then he came back and did these.

We All Have Cell Phones, So Come On, Let's Get Real [encore]

And right after that, he did the unexcpected. He played freaking Albuquerque. Yes, that Albuquerque. He even did the extra long version, with every sort of donut you could find, and starting the song over when he loses his train of thought. It was fantastic. I can't wait to do it again.

And the fair was good too.

The Biggest Little Mistake

I get it, do you? Probably not. Haha, you suck.

So, Assassin Night III was on Tuesday. 'Twas Ben, Ariel, Sam, Mike, Mike, Kelsey, Spencer, Kira and I. Yes, both Mikes came, it was weird. Not really, but whatever.

Anyway, since then, it's been cripplingly hot. I want a job like crazy, and i have a new IPod. How, you ask? Well, Liz's beau bought her one, so i inherited the old one. It takes forever to put stuff on it and take stuff off, but dammit, i can listen to This American Life! I love that show so much. You have no idears.

Mom's birthday is on Monday. Cool. And then the 25th is the fair/Weird Al. I'm excited. The first time in like, 8 years. Taste it.

I Might Remember

Wednesday: Assassin Night II. I came this time. I couldn't last time because of Foo Fighters. Who all was there? Ben, Spencer, Kelsey, Kira, Leah, Jake, Sam, Me. It was at Kelsey's aunt's house. We were soread around a nice place. We played about four or five games, then went inside for a drink break. After that, it was time for me to find the ultimate hiding place. Jake put me on top of the roof of a small little houselet, i think i'd call it. I sprawled out and was never found. The next game, i hid under a picnic table and was almost not found.

After that, we went for Otter Pops and talked for about ten minutes then all went home.

Oh, and i bought Viva la Vida by Coldplay. It's simply wonderful.

A Breath

The next morning, i woke up. and then the next day happened. I did nothing this day. We shall go on now.

August 3rd: Went with that one girl to see our friend Leah sing for Portland Teen Idol at that Hillsboro Festival. She was tres good.

Monday? The 4th? Nothing, if i recall correctly. But sometime between Saturday and Tuesday, Sam and I walked to the shopping center deal and rented movies, got ourselves a kickball for...kickball, and groceries. by that i mean grocery.

More on kickball: Tuesday, we planned on having a kickball tourney at the park by our house. A slew of people were planning on coming, but it ended up being just Ariel, Sam, Liz and I. We played for five seconds, then went to Brookwood and played walball for another five seconds. Then we all went and saw Step Brothers. Best Will Ferrell movie in a while, in my opinion. We went back home and rented Requiem For a Dream and Thirteen, the latter i had seen already.

Requiem For a Dream is crazy, and freaky, and messed up, and very good. I can't quite explain it, but just check it out.

And then Wednesday-right now.

Not Viewers Like You

This recent silence has been brought to you by an anonymous donor.

I have no clue what i've been doing instead of posting. Drugs? No. Never.

Anyway, i think i'm going to detail the big stuff in seperate posts, small crap in combined ones. Okay. Let's start with the first.

Mom's company picnic at Oaks Park. It was Liz, Mom, Sam, Cody, Deja and I. People showed up fashionably. Then we went. Same thing as last year. We got there, ate, and immediately went to crazy things. I didn't do the Screaming Eagle, mostly because i didn't feel like dying that night. So, we did random things and got refreshments. I don't know if it was that [it probably was] or the inability to control things, but i puked on a ride for the first time in my life, people. First time ever. Now strangers think i'm one of those kids. I promptly went to the bathroom to wash it off the back of my shirt. And when i say bathroom, i mean outrageously unclean suckhole of a suckhole. It puts all the regular suckholes to shame. Honestly, it does. So, shortly after that, we walked to the car as the lights were all flickering off for closing time. We got home. I slept, then the next day.
