what a good last few days. (:


water park, friends with sara and krysta :) worked, LEARNED TO JUMP DIVE OFF THE DIVING BOARD. im actually a pretty good diver, ive just never been able to jump off the board and dive. haha. how interesting (:

went to the blast, an ice cream shop in owatonna after the water park, haha i love it there, i was there when i was really little, and i remember it was really cool, and it still is.

went to bdubbs and then to transformers 2. it was fun, besides the not fun parts, haha. then we went back to krystas house, which was fun too.

worked today. that was fun.

this was a short little update.

this picture reminded me of something my best friend eden told me theother day. haha it was really funny. so funnny i am laughingas i am writing this. it was about one of these games ->

soill just let that be an inside joke between uscuz if i tell the story it wont be funny cu i wouldnt tell it like she did. it was comical. whew, oh and by the way eden, i love your room, its so diffrent, and sophisticated, and so you.

:) i worked again today. i loved it :) i love my job. i love my coworkers. i love the pool.

goodday today, wish i wouldve gotten to do something with shelby the last 2 days. thanks to abby, i havent, but thats ok cuz sibling bonding time isnt a bad thing.

maybe ill post more later.

i got my replacement phone today! im trying to keep the little film on the screen until i get my cover...nope that didnt work, i just took it off :( ill need to buy some, but i liked the one it came with :( cuz it went around the keys!! :( ill be so pissed if i scratch this one.

whatever, its not a big deal! later.

instead of posting a new blog last night, i posted 2 blogs on my deviant art! check them out.

http://jakemanitz.deviantart.com/journal/

they are pretty diffrent fromthe blogs i post here

wow, not in a good mood. wasnt really up for getting made fun of all night, but thats just me!

so we went to olive garden, not really even gonna talk about it cuz i didnt have fun.

also worked again today. that was fun, for the few hours i was there. yelled at a few kids, and then we closed early due to the storm. ohbut karine called me and now i work sunday night!!

didnt do much else.

gonna hang out with shelby a bit tomorrow, and then maybe card club.. not sure yet.

ready for another fun day with eden soon, cuz she is the only one i seem to do stuff with as friends anymore. well that and the fact that i always have fun with her. latelyit seems like i only have fun with her.

whatever. wanna read something, i dont know what. its late, im gonna get to bed. cant wait for tomorrow with shelby :)

what a day what a day.

had lessons this morning to make up lessons from last... thursday i think..? yeah 99.99% sure it was make ups for thursday. so yeah didnt actually do much, it was more of a FREEday, and i forgot to fill out my time sheet D: shooooot.

side note: i NEED to stop swearing, i dont even like it! why do i do it!!?!?!

so i hung out with shelby after i got home and showered and ate lasagnia and found out the replacement phone they sent me was broken so they have to send me a replacement phone for my replacement phone. awesome.

so i took shelby to oxbow which started out bad cuz i slipped in mud, and i dont even know why we went for a hike.. doesnt matter, it lasted like 4 minutes. and then we went into the air conditioned building (shelby's idea) saw the animals alot, all good fun. but my favorite was just sitting and talking.

it was just... awesome.

and then i went swimming, which was also awesome. then went home, and then to eden's to see factory girl. i love it :) no matter how many times ive seen it. its just a part of me. andy warhol, edie sedgewick, and "billy" are my idols, and when i day billy i mean bob dylan...

now im home typing away :)

and sometimes i hate when people pack their summer full of awesome shit (that you are not invited to) and then say they dont do anything. wow, thanks, you arent doing anything... then what the heck do you call what i am doing??cuz im not doing half of what you are doing. but thanks for making my life look like a pile of poo.

and while im on that subject, some of my friendships (ill leave them unnamed but im sure you know who you are) have turned to a pile of poo this summer. yeah, awesome... just what i need, fewer friends. and i honestly dont think this one is gonna be the same, not that i want it to be like it was cuz it was fighting once a week. but ugh, this is not what i wanted to happen. and i just dont know what to do and there is already a crap load on my plate. like college, and getting ready for college, and highschool and getting a job for during high school, and getting my life in order, and still trying to be a kid, while im forced to make some pretty adult decisions. so sorry if i seem a little preoccupied, cuz im gonna need a spare plate, cuz mine is over flowing.i dont need added stress right now.

ugh the ups and downs of my blog, ugh life is such a roller coaster, or mine is at least, i dont even know where to begin or what to do, and no im probably not really trying to build this friendship back up (cuz i know how goddam hard you are trying) but i have other things on my plate, as i have already said.. and i dont even know where this is going, and i cannot believe people are going to read this cuz its so bad and embarrassing and a rambling mess and i havent taken an english class since 1st quarter, so no, my grammer isnt up to par. UUUUUGH


D:<

and to add on to this, im trying to plan recreational events and my mom isnt helping when she wont just make a planfor that whole family meet up thing. ugh, one concert and i dont even think it will happen :( :( :( :( :( :( :( uuugh

now i need to got get some medication for ulsers cuz ive got some serious stress issues. (doesnt stress give you ulsers. sorry mitch if you are reading this and ive been spelling everything wrong including ulsers!)

my poor computer :( now my space bar is effed up for god knows what, and then there was the whole pop fiasco last christmas, and i think thats screwed with the cd drive cuz it takes work to open that. ugh i need to go to bed now, i cannot handle this much life at one time.

you can all stop reading my blog now.

i just realised you can leave comments on my blogs, haha i hope no ones left any cuz ive never checked. haha oops!

not much news haha

got the sims 3- my review: its excelent :) i hate making people though, it gives too many choices and my people always have really wierd looking faces :( but the actual playing is fun. not a huge diffrence, i love the whole fact that you can go anywhere!! that is awesome! the best yet. though i havent done alot of house building, it seems pretty awesome too, especially the selection thingys, it has a little house any you select what you want. very cute and i like it :)

my parents werent home this weekend, but no party or anything, just picked up after my older brother. he is so lazy, i hope i dont act like that when i go to college, oh wait he never did clean up after himself.

ive been listening to the 7th harry potter book, and playing spider solitaire alot this weekend (along with the sims!!) and it got me really excited for vacation with eden :D so awesome!!! cant wait ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <- excitedness :)

oh and along with playing solitaire, i also have been doodling, and i drew really cute harry potter characters, they make my other ones look like complete shit. (though i pretty much already thought that anyways) they are so cute. ill definately be doodling more lately, i have to keep my practice up for my portfolio work :( so nervous about that. but eden said she liked my bottles! thats good, still have ALOT of work on that, and a landscape, and interior, and self portrait :/ alot of work this summer. along with deciding what exactly i want to do in my future.

hanging out with shelby tomorrow, ugh its been faaaaar too long, i miss her :( and holy crap, its been 2 freaking months!?! wow.

i still dont know what exactly is going on with sara and me, we talked this weekend, but i still get this vibe like its all my fault. and i just dont want to fight this summer! i want my friend back, but we fight all of the fucking time!! and im sick of it! and its my fault i know, but i dont fight with eden, or anyone else, its just sara. so i dont even know... and yeah you are probably reading this.. yeah id much rather just move on and not do anything this summer than spend my time fighting.

whatever, i was in a good mood until i thought about that.

and one more thing about that subject: i dont know why you would be mad at me for carrying an MCAD lookbook around school for a week, when i have spent my entire high school career working up to go to MCAD, no wait, my entire LIFE has led up to a future in art, so sorry for being excited about an art school..

and while im on the subject of things that piss me off, i hate when someone likes something, and then i like it or get like obsessed with it, then the other person has to show that they knew about it first, and then they have a reprize of being obsessed with them. or i hate when i discover somethnig, like a band or something, and then someone pretends they discovered them 3 months later when i clearly remember telling them about them, or i really hate when you like something and someone else goesto their concert and doesnt invite you... im just sayin.

wow, that put me back in a good mood. haha just a few little things not everyone knows about me haha :)

not much news, this will be a short blog.

worked at the pool for a few hours, just lessons, and only the evening lessons. the biggest news with that is sara and krysta were there and didnt say hi. how nice of them. i would have, but you know, i was just teaching a class..

i went to rochester (a pretty big city near my pretty small town) and went shopping with my sister, but didnt get anything. when i got home i tried to download sims 3 but it didnt work, and then i went to rochester again, this time with eden, and i got sims 3!!

it was a pretty good day.

if your gonna follow me on twitter, you better let me follow you or i will block you! freaking stalkers!

ok so i was thinking, and im really proud of my blog, i think it really shows who i am, and captures this part of my life. cuz i feel like this is definately a brand new chapter of my life. kinda like the harry potter books, you read the first three and were like, hmm this is pretty good, and then you read the fourth and its also good, but at the end your like holy shit! and then its not the same any more. but im gonna try and make it a good era, just like the 5th book, (my favorite) and i dunno this was a really bad analogy. haha.

i got regina spektor's new album, its freaking awesome :) my favorites are laughing with and blue lips, probably cuz i already knew them haha :) but there are some pretty good ones, i cant really think of any that stick out, but its all pretty good.

i tweet way too much, haha. just thought id say that, cuz i know everyone is thinking it, so i maght as well show that i know it too. or maybe everyone else just doesnt tweet enough! ooh!

ive been really artistic this whole break. i even painted with my water colours! haha i dislike painting (cuz im bad @ it) so its a bit unlike me to paint. but im actually considering using water colours on my still life. pretty sure thats what ill do :) ill have to get a few lessons from shelby cuz she is freaking amazing, i dont care what she says, its probably some of the best water colouring ive ever seen!

im not racist.

and my space bar is faulty :(

and sometimes i think even some of the people that are closest to me dont even know who i am.

-i am polite, except for with people im comfortable with, and then i just dont pay attention to things like when im supposed to say please and thank you.
-im hard working.
-i save 75% of my money, so i dont do alot of spending.
-im outspoken, so if you do something i dont like, ill say something. to most people this comes of rude. its not.
-im influenced by people when im in large groups, i do things i wouldnt normally do(ill do things like TP someones car) but it can also be posotive, i just dont have an example.
-idont hate many people, or at least i dont hate anyone without a reason, and if i get mad, its cuz you did something that i think was amoral. for example, when we reschedule plans cuz not everyone can be there, i find it rude to continue on with the plans without them. i dont know maybe its just me, but i trust that i have good morals, cuz my parents teach me very well. and im proud of that :)
-i dont swear alot, unless im mad, or if im in front of my mom, cuz for some reason i breathe profanity when my mom is within hearing range.
-im usually early or on time for things, and if im not, there is always a good reason.
-i do what authority figures tell me, even if they are only a few years older than me, they are my boss and i do what they tell me. ive even been recognised for doing it, so im guessing im doing the right thing.
-ive made mistakes inthe past, but i dont smoke, do drugs or drink, i also dont brag about it. but i am proud of myself.
-alot of people make mistakes in their past and, personally, i dont hold those things against people if they have changed because i would know from experiance.
-i feel that the clothes i wear are presentable, my jeans dont sag on my butt (probably cuz its a bit fuller than most guys) and my shirts are nice and not wrinkly or covered in profanity. i dont know, i just feel like my wardrobe is far more presentable than most of the kids at school. not trying to be conseited or anything, but its not ok to wear a shirt with a huge stain on the front, or the same pants for a week straight. its just not ok. even i wear the same pear of pants more than once before i wash them, but a week straight, i mean come on..


i really want sims 3 but i dont have any money for it!


my phone :( it sucks!!!!

-it shuts off on its own, sometimes at night, at its worst it shuts off every five minutes, or when i slide it shut, and usually gentle with it. and thats another thing, people think i am rough with my stuff, but im not.. i honestly dont get there they got that idea.. i also dont know where people get the idea that im a loud mouth that tells everyone their secrets. if you tell me something ill probably tell someone, unless you tell me its secret then i wont, until it becomes public knowledge, but that still doesnt mean im gonna go around telling everyone your life... sorry to get off track, but that always pisses me off.
-it adds letters in, like ill type "hey whats up" and the screen will say "heyqwert whatuys upqwe"
-when i press some of the keys, like the T key, it makes the backlight on all the buttons flicker. its hard to explain.. but when i press it the light goes off and sometimes comes back on when i let go, or it comes back on a few secods later, or slowly flickers back on.

its all so annoying. and ugh :( it pisses me off that they cant make quality products.

i also with phone companies would just make a regular phone, one that doesnt slide, or flip, or come with internet or a music player, just give me a damn phone! i have an ipod for my damn music, and a laptop for internet! uuugh!

sorry its so long again. its summer and i have few friends, so they will probably just get longer and longer and more frequent. haha

Ahhhh! first day of lifeguarding!

ok so i did lessons first, that was just like yesterday, easy and awkward, cuz im bad with children, except for the level 1's they younger kids, like 6 or 7..? im not really sure, but they are at the age where elders are the law and you listen! the only time they break the rules are when they forget, and lets be honest they forget alot (i mean who wouldnt if with a brain that big? haha JK :)) but mostly they are cute and enthusiastic, and if they arent enthusiastic, they are scared to do do what they are instructed, like today they had to go under, and this cute little red head refued, haha she would plug her nose and go under far enough for only her mouth to be submerged, but refused to got any further, and when she did she was so proud of herself, haha it was so cute. unfortunately the level 3's are at the age where they try and impress the adults by being all bad ass and rebelious.haha its really annoying and i just wanna punch em in the face and give them a ritalin. these kids are around 9, and its only the boys that are disruptive class members, the girl, a cute little asian who reminds me of stitch, i mean lilo hahah :) she trys really hard to impress us by doing everything right.

ok so then i had a break from 12-1 and then i had another break until 1:20, and it was finally my turn to have my first shift. it was really cold, so there were only about 10 kids, which means there only needs to be 2 life guards, so i was a little nervous about that, but it was alright. but then half way through (about 10 minutes) i realised i forgot my whistle!!! D: so i paniced a little, but i remembered that there was only 2 life guardsso i would go on break after this shift, and not really need to use it (unless someone drowned) but then more kids showed up, so we had to have all 4 life guards on duty, which also means i am no longer going on break, im moving on to the next station. D: that means that i will need my whistle, so that i can blow it when it isbreak time. so then i paniced more D: but then the next life guard came, and took my spot, and instead of going straight to the next station, i got my whistle first (: so then i was safe. and thats about as eventful as it gets.

except later we went back to 2 life guards, and i was in an area where there were only 4 girls about 12 or 13 years old. and i was watching them, and theyd swim around and then stop, and then move to a new spot and do this a couple times, and i would watch the whole time, so that if they drowned, i would be there to save them. and then i hear them whispering, so naturally i listen, and one girl says "the life guard keeps watching us!" really!?!? i mean it is my job...

and then there were more lessons.

and cleaning D:girls are so gross, afterthe pool closed they clean, and me being the youngest "biddy" (the cute nickname the vetran lifeguards gave the rookie lifeguards) i had to clean the toilets, pick hair and other things from the drain, empty the little boxes that girls put their... lady things in... if you know what i mean. ugh it was so sick! but then we left a little early, and i went home and painted with water colours :)

it was a fun day.

oh yeah and i ate alot of junk food:

2 sandwhich bags filled with chips...did i already list this? i feel like i did. oreos, a poptart and icecream treats! it was all bad for me but tasted good!


sorry for yet another long post, there probably wont be another extensively long one any time soon.

ive been downloading so much music in the past few days, mostly music i liked in the past, or deleted from my library that one time when i deleted it all, and i just never got it again (until now) and my library, if i do say so myself, is very extensive. i am very proud. the one thing i dislike is the fact that kate nash has so many unreleased songs that i want to download, the only reason i dont want to do this is cuz ive organised my musicinto every album, with its own album art (alot of hard work, resulting inblood sweat and tears) and if i download just songs, what will i do with them cuz they WILL piss me off if i just leave them, ive added some other songs to albums by that artist, like Lily allen did a cover of naive (originally by the kooks) so i downloaded it, cuz i really like her version of it (along with the original) and instead of just leaving it a single song, i just added it to her first cd, "alright, still" but kate nash has alot of unreleased music, and im afraid that if i download it and put it in with her cd that she will release her new cd (which is rumored to be released late summer) and the tracks i have will be on that cd, and i will be really confused cuz ill have 2 copies of those songs, and uugh what a hastle!

haha what a rant, hope you understand it :I im not the best of writers, like i wish i was.


i do still plan to write books on the side, a memoir, maybe some fiction. maybe childrens stories with my own illustrations. i have no idea what exactly i want to do in my future. looking at MCAD's look book, comic book artist looks really interesting, not that i would have enough talent for that, but its something to keep an eye out for, or try.

i dunno haha this is such a random blog!

yesterday was my first dayactually working at the pool, except i didnt watch kids, i helped with swimming lessons, i do it every day this week. which isnt bad cuz i get paid to stand there and watch them. oh wait, i get paid for that every time i work.. oh and today is my first day of the actual lifeguarding part. where i sit in the chair and watch the kids. im so nervous D: and im listening to the wombats.. they arent helping. ok now im listening to some song on the juno soundtrack. i saw a good chunk of that movie the other day, and i remembered just how good it was :) i love it. oh this song is by the velvet underground! they never fail to remind me of my favorite artist andy warhol!!! what a man :) :) ok back on track! THIS IS MY SCHEDULE today:

10:30-12- first 2 sets of lessons
1-4:30- lifeguarding
4:30-6- the other 2 sets of lessons
6-8- life guarding

now im listening totegan and sara :) one of my favorites, check them out. "back in your head" is one of my all time FAVORITE songs.

i wanna watch sweeeney todd so bad! my mom works for a tv provider, KMtelecom, and they offer free movie channel weekends, and yesterday (even though it was monday) my sister was watching sweeney todd, and i walked in like a half hour after it started, (which means i missed some of the good songs, like the worst pies in london) so i looked up when it was on again, which was 7:45 this morning (it is 7:50 right now) so i woke up and thought "well, sweeney todd is on, so i might as well get up and watch it" so i get up, and turn onthe tv, but the free movie channel weekend was over, soi couldnt watch it :( and that pissed me off, and i was really tired when i forced myself to get up and watch it! haha so im just blogging instead.\


oh! this is what i packed for my 10 hour shift at the pool! i have oreo's! 2 bags of chips (haha i am 99.999% sure they call them crisps in the uk, oh and speaking of the uk, if i remember, ill talk about that later) ok so 2 flavors of chips, barbeeque and sour cream and onion. and then i have a pop tart. healthy, i know... i need to put some healthy things in there, like string cheese! and a sandwitch.

ok so by the way, i cannot wait for the tim berton version of alice in wonderland!!! it comes out in 2010. it has like everyone thats ever been in a tim burton film, like johnny depp and helena bonham carter. IT IS GONNA BE AMAZIN!!

ok so england :3333333. i want to go there sooooo bad!!!!! i want to visit england (my dream is to live in a flat in london, and own a barnes and noble, if they have them there..) anyways, i also wanna visit ireland, sweeden, italy, whales, scotland, and some other places :3 it looks so beautiful there, and the people have AMAZING accents, and :) it looks so wholesome there X)

sweeney todd soundtrack is appeasing my need for the movie.

about to watch the tenth episode (in the first season) of true blood. its very good, i like it :)

oh and i dont think i had heroes on my list of shows i like. but i like it!

oh and i have officially been sorted into the ravenclaw house. if you were wondering. the officially only refers to the fact that i have a ravenclaw scarf. i was a hufflepuffuntil luna came along and changed my mind :P

oh my gosh!!! my favorite youtuber might actually be reading my blog!!!

http://www.youtube.com/user/Beccychan

her vidoes are so awesome! i made my own youtube page, just so i could subscribe to her. the first video i ever saw was her luna lovegood video :)

ok so me and my best friend sara (that picture is a picture of me and sara at prom haha) we are in another one of our fights. we have alot of these, and the funny part is, i really hate them. thats funny cuz its usually my fault. i am usually the one who starts them.

i also havent talked to eden very much this summer, except for pool class :( i miss her, ive been far too busy lately. but i didnt forget about her, i promise!

(this is a picture of eden, the brown haired one with the camera, the other girl is abby, my sister.)

i miss track managing :( haha it was so much fun.

my favorite movies:

charlie and the chocolate factory

sweeney todd

edward scissirhands

(i cant wait to see coraline!!!!!)

tv shows i watch:

buffy the vampire slayer

the marvelous misadventures of flapjack

heroes

grey's anatomy

dollhouse

gossip girl (hahahaaha)

any cooking shows!

invader zim

i am currently downloading True Blood, only cuz anna paquin is in it and i loved her in the X-men movies. i had such a huge obsession with x-men a few years ago :) im a little skeptical about the whole vampire thing, cuz i really hate the whole twilight obsession. i read the first one and didnt think it was anything special, but i couldnt even finish the second cuz bella is such a cry baby, and edward has no personality, i dont see how anyone can love him. he is like a robot!!

my favorite books are the harry potter books!!!I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. i dont like the movies as much, i would probably like them much more if id never read the books. i cant wait for the 6th movie! luna and her lion hat!!!!! its gonna be so good! (i hope)

i like reading fantasy books, im reading the hunger games right now. hahaha ive been reading it for like 3 months!

john green books are also really good, my favorite is "looking for alaska" its so good, i also have "an abundance of katherines" which i also like. paper towns was also really good :)

im not very proud of my deviant art page, cuz i dont think it represents my art style.

http://jakemanitz.deviantart.com/

i wish my art was more like emmy cicirega http://b1nd1.deviantart.com/ cuz i think she is amazing :)

im also in my first relationship ever. and i think i have the best girlfriend i could ever find. i hope it lasts :)

sorry this one was so long.. hope you didnt get too bored.

THIS KID IS NOT ONLY MY BROTHERS FRIEND, BUT CEDRIC DIGGORY!!! OMFG OMFG WHY WAS HE IN MY HOUSE!!!?! I DID NOT EXPECT TO WAKE UP AND WALK INTO MY KITCHEN AND FIND CEDRIC DIGGORY (NOT EDWARD CULLEN)

so, busy few days, but lets forget about that, if you really wanna kno, follow me on twitter:

http://twitter.com/jakemanitz

ok so here are a few images.

i dont know what order they wil lshow up in so ill just talk about them.

VITAMINWATER. i have been working on my college art portfolio, cuz i really need to get that finished up by the end of the summer! D: scary i know. im freaking out, sooo un prepaired. my mind is racing, and its time to get down to business and work

ok stop for a second cuz im getting a haircut (9:17-10:06 including shower)

so im pretty excited about it except its pretty obvious flaws, like the upside down bottle and the bottle sticking out from the group of bottles (fyi, thepicture of the bottles is completely diffrent from the one im drawing, and im not drawing from a picture, im drawing from a sculpture that i assembled myself) and there are also alot of stupid little mistakes, but you know what..? im not even gonna worry about them.

this bagel isntthe best...

that picture, with the kid in the tiedie shirt and the kid who's head is cut off, there is a black blob with a tan blob in the middle. this picture was taken from the news paper, and the black and tan blobs are me! i was laying down getting my blood drawn!! haha i am so proud of this!

there is also a picture taken from kate nash's website, and i love kate nash, she is going to sing at my wedding and funeral, and each birthday in between :) because she is amazing and needs to put out another cd!!

it turns out that bagels get worse when you leave them sit and get cold...

SHEEP IN THE BIG CITY!!!!

it flabbergasts me that some people havent seen this show, it is genious! go watch it :) its almost as good as invader zim!

oh X( i put 2 vitamin water pics in hehe

there is a picture of a really awesome luna lovegood shirt that didnt make it through the wash in good condition :( its still alive but not as lustrus) i made it myself, and i am very proud. ive been planning on doing it since the last harry potter movie release, cuz its my favorite chapter art :) its so luscious. actually now that i take a look @ it, it isnt that bad, just a little care warn and tattered, kinda adds a little to it :) it will go over well @ the premier!!

there is also a chicken toy, it is the new jesus statue of my car (its an inside thing with eden, i honestly dont even know the story, maybe ill have a guest blogger and have her talk about it)

the giraffe was a gift (wrapped in tinfoil) from mitch and kory. it is now on my harry potter shelf, and ill have you know that not many things go on my harry potter shelf (infact there are currently only 9books and a stuffed giraffe)

i think that is all ive got! haha ill have more deep(er) blogs later. ill talk about my deep thoughts. maybe ill write a poem, and record myself tap dancing, or paint a cow or something.

(the stuff below this was supposed to be at the top, but when i added the pictures it messed it all up, and this is what i ended up with)

im done reviewing my days, cuz i already do that on my calendar, and the only people that read this know me and know what in doing anyways.

so from now on, im only gonna talk about how i feel, or what was going on in my mind. stuff you wouldnt know if you didnt read this blog.

(why did you end up at the bottom when you were the first thing i wrote??)

dont worry everyone who doesnt read my blog.. i passed my lifeguarding class and am now certified to save lives ( this makes me a fulfilled man).

so i spent all day at the pool taking written and in water tests, but i got home showered and went to Drag me to Hell. it had really cool old time effects... i dont know it just looked like it was from the forties or something... i dont know just go see it and watch the effects. or maybe im the only one who cares about stuff like effects.

so i dont have much else to say cuz the past few weeks of my life have been lifeguarding, but that weight was lifted so were all good.


i need to load up some pictures but im too lazy, i just skanned a bunch of pictures that you can see @ my deviant art page

nothing special, just my work.

i plan on posting pictures here some time soon (incluing one of cedric)

haha that will keep all zero of my readers just frantic for my next post ;)

oh and how am i supposed to know how many people actually read this???

wow. awesome. i cant even say anything without it being my fault... this time i wasnt told cuz i had class... ok so that means i cant know about it!? wtf!? ok so now im doing something with shelby, not that i dont want to cuz i do! but you only have one end of the year waterfight once a year, and i wasnt invited and now its just gonna be retarded cuz i wasnt invited! i dont care what they say it would be awkward for them too.. or else it should be. uuugh seriously!??! i know they say they didnt tell me cuz i had class but i know they didnt even think to. they forgot. i love being forgotten about. but what can you do?

sometimes i feel like my friends dont ever consider me when they make plans... i dont really care if they do stuff but i hate looking at photo albums and hearing them talk about how much fun they had. and i hate hearing what people are doing and finding out they were doing it when i was sitting home alone being bored. i hate having to make the plans and then be the one who drives everywhere when i make plans cuz im not made of money, i cant just whip out 20 dollars for gas every week. i dont know that just really pisses me off. especially when they say that anyone can come. wow ok anyone can come, but they have to know about that plan to come... its just exausting trying to keep up with my friends. so i usually end up hanging out downloading music or something. i especially hate when people do things every single day and i do stuff like once or twice a week!

im done venting cuz its not really as drastic as i portray it to be i guess...

last day of school tomorrow. i have 1 final and it isnt until the last hour of the day. awesome, and then there is a water baloon fight.. i think im bringing shelby home so i probably wont be participating, not that i would anyway cuz my friends dont tell me anything and i dont know what anyone is doing and they didnt tell me any plans!! ugh, let this school year be over with!!!! ugh exausted!

my girlfriend is awesome :) we talk all the time, so that is good :) :3

just let this week be over! good god! im so ready to be done with skool! and finals! and i just want to swim and be with the most amazing girl ever :3 and my friends!

so life guard training is happening, i love it :3 it makes me happy :3 and it got me a little burnt, but its all good! haha i love the water :3

and then thursday (last day of school) i have 1 final and it isnt until the last hour... yeah piss me off, i have to sit through a whole day of skool to take 1 test.. fuck that.
