Tomorrow starts my three-day orientation at Aquinas.
Thursday, I'll go with my parents at around noon and do some things. They'll leave at 7 and I'll be stuck having to socialize. I can't believe I got into an unsocialble funk this close to school starting.
Friday, I'll get there at SEVEN THIRTY IN THE MORNING and do some more stuff UNTIL MIDNIGHT. I wonder if they realize that we're starting school soon.
Saturday, I don't have to be there until 11ish and I only have to stick around until 10 or so.
What sucks is the fact that, after orientation, I can't really hang out with anyone. I need to get to sleep at a reasonable hour and all that jazz. Anyway, Orientation information is here, if you're bored.
I start school on Monday!
I'm excited except for the fact that I spaced my classes out weirdly and I gave myself an early class. I'm not smart. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
Plus, I don't have a car so I'll be driving my mom's van until I get my own car. It's going to suck. I'm not even on the insurance yet and I start school on Monday. Maybe I can stay over at Nick's occasionally. He's only about two miles away from school.
I hope everyone's doing okay. I miss you already. E-mail me your addresses and jazz so I can send you letters.
I love you all.

Remember that hot girl I met at Aquinas?
Behold and beware for her hotness is blindingly so!
Too bad she's interested in men. Hee.

FIONA APPLE RETURNS
FIONA APPLE will release her long-delayed third album, "Extraordinary Machine," on October 4th. The singer-songwriter began recording the follow-up to 1999's "When the Pawn . . ." with producer JON BRION (AIMEE MANN, KANYE WEST) in 2003, but the album was shelved by Epic. Though eleven songs from "Extraordinary" surfaced online, Apple continued work on the set with producers MIKE ELIZONDO
(DR. DRE, SNOOP DOGG) and BRIAN KEHEW (BECK, EELS). The twelve-track CD will include new material, as well as reworked versions of the songs leaked online.
(Longest six years of my life. I heart Fiona.)
P. Diddy Shortens Name to Diddy
Rap mogul Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs has unveiled his new stage moniker - he wants to be called just Diddy. Combs - who changed his name from Puff Daddy and Puffy before adopting the name P. Diddy in 2001 - announced his moniker change in New York City yesterday. He tells MTV News, "It's five letters, one word. The name is changed. We made it simpler. We removed the P. The P was getting in between us. We're entering the age of Diddy. A lot of my peeps in music been calling me Diddy, so it's not a drastic change for them. But people around the world didn't know what to call me. We was at (Madison Square Garden) rocking with Jay-Z. The last time I was there, half the crowd was chanting 'P Diddy', half the crowd chanting 'Diddy'. We gonna stop the confusion. 'Diddy. Diddy, Diddy!' Simple. To the point and it sounds strong. It sounds like something is about to happen. It sounds like something is about to go down in history." Combs plans a special "unveiling of Diddy" ceremony when he hosts the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami on August 28. He adds, "You gonna see that in the entrance. You gonna see that swagger. You gonna see how I'm gonna navigate you through the journey."
(I was going to shorten that one, just leave the general gist of the article, but I didn't want to take away from one ounce of the idiocy.)
- OK, so they're coming out with a 10th Anniversary edition of Toy Story. I feel old now.
- Concerts. I. want.
David Gray @ Radio City Music Hall
Across the Narrows (Killers + Interpol)
NIN/QOTSA @ Madison Square
Weezer/Foo Fighters (where? when? Damn you, Pollstar, inform me!)
Death Cab (tomorrow. Central Park. how much? must research)
- All this stuff to do and I'll still be broke and bored by the end of September. :-)
- Still need to make that Aristocrats list. Another time, perhaps.
Now that I've got that out of the way...
- Signed my lease on Monday and the 'rents helped get everything in. Nothing really got damaged, but a few of my posters got a little wrinkled up in the process, which I was kind of sad about, especially because one was the Porsche poster Joe gave me (still looks good above the TV though). Changed phone number to a local area code so if you've tried to call me in the last 24 hours you probably haven't gotten through. I'll send out an e-mail re: that ASAP. Finally changed address. Parents bought me a nice futon. And gave me cash. They really do kick major ass. Yeah, I'm a good son (and a good person) but I'm not worth all their tears. I feel so guilty because I can't return them...
It's only been 3 days, but things are going better than expected down here. I do need groceries though; maybe I'll do that next.
...
That said, I miss you.

Hi friends.
How is everyone? I haven't seen anyone for a long time. And that is sad. But I can't do anything about that right now, on account of the muffler is hanging precariously off my car. I'll bring it in on the morrow.
Is anyone else getting annoyed with pre-college shopping and whatnot? Yesterday me and the parents got into a huge arguement over whether I needed a new clock or not. It was ridicoulous but mildly amusing.
Speaking of precollege annoyances, Katie, can I use you as a reference on a loan? So they know I'm not a bum?
So yeah, if anyone wants to hang out on the morrow, give me a call. Or I'll call you. I think that's it. Bye now.

Success!!!!!!!!!
By Käse and by George (not Rachel's dad but the monkey), I got my duvet and duvet cover!!
My family and I went into this Linen and Stuff shop after consuming a birfday meal at one of dad's favorite restaurants, and lo and behold we found what we were looking for!
Me happy!
Rachel and Tracey and Kyle, Tina gave me a CD that I think that you'd enjoy.
Squee!
Edit 11:30
I found the greatest "breakup song"! It's by Die Aetrze and it's called "Männer sind Schweine" (men are pigs). The lyrics are making me crack up xD

Well, I'm back in Rockford with three more Germans!!!!
It was nice to get away for a couple of days, and to see my friend Sarah. She has a man again, and I'm glad that she's happy ^_^ She's going to college in...Stevenspoint methinks. Middle of Wisconsin.
We didn't ever go into the city of Chicago, just stayed at the O'Hare airport. Tina's plane was late, then she and her parents walked out of a different gate than what the computers stated...but it's soooo awesome to see them again!!! Tina and I found out that we can play different regions of DVDs on our computers, so I know what I'll be asking for Christmas/my birthday ^^ *whistles slyly*
Today we played hookey from church, and are gonna go to Freddy's Gardens soon. Blegh. Oh well, at least we get to see the ginormous horse again. Again again again. I'm bringing my camera with.
So yeah, many greetings from the Krauts. Tina says hola. And I say that I love Nougat Bits!

So, I made a note to make an entry today about how my laptop was being worked on, so if you guys didn't see me on it would be because of that and the move. But before I could, there was a knock on my door. I figured it was Joe with his hands full, but no, DHL with "the package." I have to tell you, I'm pretty pleased with Dell (and DHL) for their turnaround; I sent it out Monday around 5pm and got it back an hour ago. We'll see if they actually fixed the problem (it's too early to tell yet), but so far, no "clicking." Which is a good thing, because my warranty expires... ::checks calender:: today. I'm simply overjoyed that I don't have to lose my precious connection to the outside world for another week (they would have shipped it back to KZoo and then Joe would have had to ship it to me). EEE!!!
Sitting pretty good on the packing, but I've got to get the majority of it done today because I'll be in GR on Friday (goodbye dinner at Dungeon, 7:30pm in case you forgot) and DBurg on Saturday (mmm... Aristocrats).
Peace.

My group leader informed me that she'd force each and every one of us in the group to register. I love that girl.
Hee.

I just wrote Tara a letter.
I sound like such a dork in it. Oh well, might at well let her see the real me.
Andy was talking behind my back, saying cruel things. I heard him. I'm surprised that I didn't sneeze.
Mom says that I can't go on the computer until I clean my room. Well, what am I supposed to do with all my college stuff? Shove it underneath my bed?

Hello all.
I just bought a printer for my computer. And set it up all by myself!! You should all be very proud, even though a trained ape could figure it out. It has a scanner and a copier too. I just scanned a picture of me at the horse wedding, but sadly I don't know how to get it on here. So just be contented in the fact that it is highly amusing.
I think that's it. I hope to see y'all soon.

Andy's guilt-tripping me about dad's birthday. About how I don't want to split a present with him to give to dad.
I'm perfectly happy with the book (Scheisse! The REAL German you were never taught in school) that I'm giving dad because I know that he'll use it.
Andy's just guilt-tripping me because he doesn't have enough moneys and so he wants to spend my hard-earned cash instead of his own.
Stupid little brothers.
Did you know that mom, dad, and I used to call Andy "Scrooge" when he was little? And we all declared that he was going to be a lawyer when he grew up.

Ugh, last day of babysitting. Gott sei dank.
I love the kids to death, but putting down Sophie for her nap and making Noah read for an hour is starting to become my own personal hell. Especially with Noah. He can't sit still for five minutes.
Tomorrow my family and I are heading over to Wisconson via the ferry. We'll meet some family friends and stay with them for the night, then head on to Chicago in the morning. Michi's folks and Tina arrive in Chicago around...oh, I'd say six pm. They'll go to sleep, then in the morning pick up their r.v. (ridiculous vehicle) that they'll be driving around Michigan.
I'm contemplating bringing Tomato along for this trip, if only for the means of recharging Olga. I wish she had a gargantuan battery sometimes.
Oh, and I finally got my debit card!! w00t! So now I've got all these important pieces of plastic that I can't lose.
Rachel, I forgot to give you that painting. And the moon was hot last night.
