Flyin' back in time
wow. ok, so where to begin?It's been so long I feel like I've lost my ability to write, and yet I know it's here deep down....somewhere. So where to begin, where to begin. Well...Let's jump back a month. lol.
I went to See Drake Bell at the Fair with my brother Colton. We went down early so we could do the rides and such, and I have to say, it was probably one of my favorite things I did all summer. We did the shooting gallery, did a couple of (dare I say it, UNSTABLE) rides. lol. I even won a fish! (ok, well my brother actually got the ping pong ball into the little glass ball...but i paid for it. lol. ) I would have to say that that is my absolute favorite game at the fair and the only one I played. lol. So I was excited to win a fish! It's name is Sushi. lol. and He is is alive and well. I've even bought him this awesome wall tank in the shape of a half bubble that hangs on the wall in my room. it's 2 gallons so its plenty big for one goldfish. lol. and he's MUCH safer away from Jinx who decided one day to go fishing. lol. Anyways.... Then it was time for the concert and I don't know who the girl was that opened but she looked to be about thirty and I hate to be brutally honest but she was really really bad. Then Drake Bell came on, and although it may be hard to believe, he is even better than his CD when he performs live. Which is actually a huge compliment because I haven't found too many bands that that applies to. After Drake was Corbin Bleu but we didn't stick around, I was so deaf from all the screaming girls i think i've yet to regain all of my hearing. lol. So yet. that was a blast.
Then There was the Highlight of my summer and one of the top highlights iof my life...meeting Marat Safin!!!! I had watched him practice on Sunday and then play( and lose) on Monday and on Tuesday morning my family and I decided to hit the waffle house before my dad and brother went to king's island and my mom and I went back to the tennis matches. Then while we're sitting there, waiting on our food, my dad gets all excited and is like omg, I think that's marat safin sitting over there! and I was like "yea...right...nice one dad." and when I turned around to look knowing that he wasn't really there, my jaw dropped so far I think it hit the ground. On the other side of the waffle house sat marat safin eating breakfast. lol. Apparently he was in a really bad mood accoring to the waiter. lol. but who wouldn't be after losing in the 1st round? i know i'd still be a total bitch the next day. I was kind of afraid of asking for his photograph because I really really didn't want to bother him but I also knew that I would hate myself if I passed on a once in a lifetime oppertunity. So we waited until he was done eating and went outside when he left and asked if he would mind getting his photo taken and he was extremely nice and smiled and talked in his beautiful accent. I could have died and gone to heaven. In fact, I can now die a happy human being. well...maybe not yet. there's that whole sex issue... ;-) So anyways, yes. I met Marat Safin in a Waffle House, my new favorite place. lol.
So after the tennis tournament we headed to washington D.C. and it was hot and hot and there was a lot of arguing and promises of this being the last family vaction...EVER. but besides that...it was fun. It kind of fect like once you've seen it, you've seen it and there really isn't anything different. I would have loved to of been able to spend a lot more time in the museum of Art anf there was an Asian Exhibit going on that I would have liked to of seen. I did get to see several cool things like Kermit the frog,the red shoes from wizard of oz, mister rodger's sweater, Washington's battle outfit, r2d2 and the other one from star wars, the puffy shirt .lol. howver that was only one exhibit. I think part of my problem is my family and I have too different tastes in certain things. First of all, everything government pretty much bores me. Yes, I was glad I got to see it and don't get me wrong, i enjoyed seeing it again and spending time with my family (most of the time) I especially loved seeing the dome mural again and seeing the whispering room. However, politics is jsut SO boring I could die. But yet, it was a good trip overall, hot and some sparks flew, but overall good. I guess part of the problem was nothing was going to top meeting marat safin. lol.
After my trips, I've been working a lot and until ryan went back to school, I babysat him. We went bowling two days in a row his last week. I LOVE bowling. in fact, it's one of those things I wish I could do like every day. lol. they should sell year long limitless bowling passes and I would SO have one. lol. So yea, not that ryan and colton are back in school. I've spent my time running 8 hour shifts as work, cleaning my room(which is now almost done) watching korean tv shows ( i heart Coffee Prince) watching borrowed library movies (two thumbs up to will ferrell and shia labeof!) and getting ready for school.
I got to go down to my grandma's for a day last week, which was really nice. I took down some stuff incase I ever stay the night at her house while i'm at osu and we had dinner and talked and shopped a little and then we went to see Becoming Jane at the Grandview Drexel. That theater is so cute and cozy :-) I have to say, I honestly loved that movie. sometimes I don't want a fairytale happy ending to everything, thus real life turned into a movie. I only really had one problem with the movie and that was because I am afraid that I too am going to end up like that. I know, i know, it sounds stupid and overly dramatic but seriously. it was like watching my own movie. how sad is that? anyways, i loved the movie and i loved my grandma's little comments about how ugly the guys were, etc. even more :-D its fun to watch a movie with someone who does the same things you do. lol.
You know, people have been asking me if i'm excited about college or is there is anything i'm looking forward to about college, and honestly the answer is no and no. I'm not looking forward to doubling my gas money amount, i'm not looking forward to having to get up at 6 to get down on campus before 8:30 each day, i'm not looking forward to working 12 hour shifts on the weekend because its the only time i have available to work because my schedule is so fucked up, i'm not looking forward to classes or being forced to do stuff I don't want to do. in fact, to be perfectly honest, sometimes I feel like I don't want to go at all. sometimes i feel that this is not the life i was meant to lead. everything about my life is wrong and so i guess i feel that college is yet another thing i'm doing wrong. i'm not excited, it osu, osu which i've heard about, talked about, and have been to my entire life. where is the fun in that? you know what i would like to be? a writer. do you have to go to college to be a writer? no. I would also love to be a storm chaser and yes, college is a must, however...do you know the salary of a storm chaser? lets say myself and my cat would be very comfy in a crappy one bedroom apartment for our ENTIRE lives. I know i'll like nursing...but what if I don't? what if it sucks? all this time, WASTED. I dunno, so far, college seems like sucha busted. i'm not excited...i'm dreading it. loathing it, counting the hours of freedom I have left. UGH.
If my life itself wasn't already a mess...look at me. at the rate i'm going, i'm going to die young and alone surrounds by 5 cats and a whole house filled with nothing but movies and books. so why does it really matter what i do with my life? no one has ever been happy with me just the way i am, so i guess lately i've gotten into the mindframe that i'm no longer happy with me just the way i am. I'm just going to have to deal with it and change into someone that I actually like. I'm either going to be like one of jane austen's characters who has trouble in the middle but it's happy in the end or I will be like jane austen who although had a great career, went through sooo many hardships and still she never got her happily ever after.
Well, it's late and after 8 hours of work too many oreos and too much lack of sleep, I have created this long ass ramble of a blong that goes off into so many directions you could get lost if you didn't have a map. Well, I think that I will get some sleep sing yet again I have another 8 hour day at work. yay.... *hint sarcasm*
