So far...

This summer is not going as I originally planned. I only have two friends in town, which I rarely get to see because of the crazy hours of my spontaneous and loosely-defined job. Meanwhile, I am (once again) single, and it freakin blows.

I need to find a morning/day job to keep me occupied. Because I frequently find myself trapped at my house alone while my family is working and has all of the cars. And what do I do while I'm there? Sit around and wallow in my self-pity of one job and my overwhelming singleness.

Pity me.

I'm going to work now.

I AM YOB.

I found a job for the summer. Unfortunately, it's only at night and it doesn't pay as well as I'd like. I am a college student, you know. I'm still trying to find a job for the morning/day shift, considering I am just wasting my time every day before 4:00, and since I don't even work every day.

Oh well.

If you have any ideas of places I could work in my area, give me a jingle. I'd quite appreciate it.

Love you and stuff.

And also

I miss my best Ashley friend pretty fiercely. I so so so hope she can come back to school next year and live with me. I think I'll cry every day if she doesn't...

(Hint hint, Ash.)

This is Boyfriend.

We're ridiculous. I moved home today and had to leave this fella behind. Sad day. /: Oh well. He doesn't live that far away. We'll see how this goes.

In retrospect.

My freshman year of college has officially come to a close. I’m going to do my favorite thing and take a moment (just kidding, this will probably take like 3 hours to do) to tell you about things you probably don’t care about.

-Became extremely close with a girl I’ve known since 9th grade, but never really spent time with, and now I can’t imagine being without.
-Stayed close with my best friends from high school.
-Went to at least five missionary farewells.
-Met some people I hope I never see again.
-Learned to appreciate “hardcore” music.
-Saw “HP 7P1” at the midnight showing with one of my best friends.
-Almost fought a girl over a sneeze.
-Went rappelling off the side of a mountain.
-Spent copious amounts of time at Walmart.
-Have grown my hair out longer than it’s been since 9th grade.
-Found out throwing up can actually be really funny. (“It’s not funny. I can’t effing breathe.”)
-Ate sushi for the first time… and really liked it.
-Got like 4 different viruses on my laptop.
-Stayed up for 45 hours straight.
-Rode my longboard most of the way across town.
-Rode on three (or four?) different motorcycles.
-Fell in love with an angel.
-Got strep throat for the first time in my life.
-Only cried three or four times.
-Met my best friend in the entire world.
-Had my life changed forever by my best friend in the entire world.
-Said goodbye to my best friend in the entire world.
-Changed.
-Matured.
-Learned.
-Laughed.
-Lived.

This is not a wink face. This is the face I make in my mind when I have to wait and see what happens next.

Still finals week 2

Three down...



And that's it. The "half" final I've been mentioning is an optional psychology exam. But since I already have an A in that class, and it would only replace my lowest test score (my lowest one being a 91%), I don't see much point in taking it.

I chose not to show my face in this picture for 2 reasons. 1: In every picture I took, it looked like my left eye had no eyelashes, and that freaked me out. And 2: I am THRILLED to be done with school, but I’m not sure how I feel about how my test went. And I wasn’t sure what facial expression could show that.

Sooo in other news...

I'M DONE.

Still finals week

Two down...

One and a half to go.

I'm going to punch myself in the face. Twice.

Finals week

One down...


Two and a half to go.

The New Guy

Meet Caydin, the new frontman for our favorite band The Biggest Stunt. For a long time, Cory was doing the clean vocals and Chase did the screaming, but they both came to a point where they were kind of over multi-tasking. So after holding a few "auditions", their friend Caydin stepped forward and said he'd like to try it. He ended up blowing everyone away. He has his own style that meshes with the band, and he also has great stage presence, which is really important.

So naturally, after Caydin was officially in the band, we had to do new band pictures. Here are a few of my favorite individual and group shots.

Cory

Devan

Chase

Romeo

Jump

Standing

Grass (my favorite)

TBS

Color in black and white

And in case you were wondering, Caydin fits right in with the boys. I love these kids with my whole heart, and it makes me so sad that I have to go a whole summer without seeing them pretty much whenever I want. On the upside though, there's always next year. (:
