We're the kids in america
So yesterday was the fourth of July. That was fun. Brittanie, Jill, Shannon and I went to McCarthy to watch the fire works. Katie met up with us later which was wonderful and andrea from drama club was there which was even more sweet. Totally. When we had been at the park for maybe an hour ... i called sean and told him to meet us up there... him and justin got themselves together and toddled down to the park... but they couldn't find us. So like an hour later sean calls my cell phone and was like "we couldn't find you." well i'll tell ya, that made me feel like a million bucks. lol. There was no food there, the concessions were closed and brittanie and i shared a hot dog... yeah. OOh. i forgot one of the most... random parts of the night... we went to the stage and had the band ask Sean and Justin to come to the stage...goodness the embaressment. It was fun though, and for me... pretty daring. lol. The fire works were spectacular but the music they played during them was ... crap. patriotic country music... riiiiight. So once the fireworks were over we headed over to Brittanies... wading through the mob. We got to britts and realized we were all RAVISHING. so we walked to McDonalds. Now, we started walking at probably a quater to 11.... its a bit of a walk from britts to mcdonalds.. and the curfew for us from the villiage is 11... there were cops every where... do you see where im going with this?? We get to McDonalds at maybe five minutes to 11. Great.. we order and all that great stuff.. flirt with the cashier you know the usual... but then the shift manager comes out and is like.... ummm we dont havet he meat for that. And me well i was ready to FLIP i mean come on the fourth is about a good hamburger ... and at the time being i was getting my kicks from mcdonalds... ahh its a sad life i live. So im rantin and raving. I mean really its mcdonalds how to they RUN OUT OF MEAT?! how randomly bizarre is that!?!!?!? mcdonalds with no meat... it was... CRAZY. crazy. C R A Z Y. i really am stil getting over it. So he ends up giving me and jill what we ordered (double cheeseburger value meal) and shannon her chcken nuggets and britt gets a McChicken... and yeah i feel like a crap head for making her get the McChicken but comeo n... i realy wanted taht cow i hadn't had a hamburger in months.. LITERALLY.so we breeze out of that phsyc ward at about 11:10 .... my dad was picking us up at 11:15 and it was no past curfew... great. To get back to britts we had to pass through this parking lot full of cops it was like a mine field i was possitive i was going ot end up going home in a squad car. You know at the time i wasn't thinking because it was only 10 minutes after 11.. not like it was 1 oclock or sumthing... i mean really we are such ninnys. But we were scared we ddint' have time to think rationally. My dad picked us up and we all went back to my house and slept over. We hung out on my drive way until 2 am .... we talked about vaginas and tampons... it was... great. hysterical. liberating. I love jimmy as friend i really do. Its sooooooo awesome that since i dont have to worry about liking him i can just enjoy the conversation and his humor. Its wonderful.
So that was my fourth... great i know. We are the kids in the suburbs of america. we wonder around the streets seeking out greezy food... we think we're tough breaking curfew by ten minutes... life is rich. And all irony aside... we are lucky to live in america... as a girl i know im lucky to be able to hang out with th girls at night and just be wild... its freedom. Its awesome. its a way of life. God Bless America.

<<>> i went to mall.. for six hours got some cute shirst ... realized that i have a problem with constantly buying purses... it's a sickness really. Other then that.. nothing.

well the past few days (monday on) my uncle came in from san deigo with his wife and daughter.... its been fun. we went to navy peir to the art musem. we did the tourist stuff.. but im so sick of eating out for every single meal.. i feel like a fatty... really it makes you feel fat. Yesterday night blair *my cousin* and i stayed at my aunt mary's house. That's fun. I love my aunts dog, bubba, he's a bassat hound. Im glad i stayed. Ellen (my aunt) is so high matience-y we were petting the dog and she was like "ooh... our dog's hair is so much softer, and oreo is so lean comapred to him" ugh she always has to win. its annoying. I know that they dont' read this so its oky.. im mean.. they can deal with it. i really dont know what else there is to say. on tuesday some people came over jsut hang out. Me and sean were doing some semi cuddling on the big chair in my basment. ... I know that he's probably reading this and im okay witht hatl.. i think. I really had fun... sean is... realy cool. i really like him alot. yeah... umhm.. goo "oooh" now like you're on the set of full house. i guess im done for now.... this is good.

CAMP
okay. i am finally home from Lutherdale. I met so many new friends i don't know what to do with my self. I had such a wonderful time especially eating. lol the food at camp is so WONDERFULLY AWESOME lol. Awesome is such a wisconsin word lol. I ate potato salad every stinkin day and i dont even like potato salad there is just something about the kind that they have at camp. Lol. I also have a new love for garbonzo beans lol. In my cabin there was only three other girls Brea,Katie and Rachael all from Shorewood. I stayed in a YURT which is basically just a circular platform tent, we even got free shirts that say "YURTS ... no better way to spend a summer" Our cabin picture turned out realy well, we all wore our shirts lol. I have 57 bug bites that might be contributed to the fact that on the last night of camp we all slept outside on the basketball court. hahahahaha. I have learned so much about my faith there was this evening worship on thursday night called "Human Video" It was a scene about bringing those close to you close to Christ. Krystal shared her faith story... which of course made me cry. LOL. oooh wow i forgot to mention to you the Abby and Danielle experience. Danielle was our couselor.. she is like my big sister i love her more then the big toe on my big foot. Then there was abby the arts and crafts lady who always was our sub couselor when danielle was away.. i love her so much. lol. I met this boy Justin at camp who was forced to go to camp because his church has to go because of confirmation....him and his friend Shauna.. i wrote both of them encouraging notes durning the week in arts and crafts with Abby.. i didn't sign my name or anything... but Justin knew. Shauna went home on Weds. which was parents night and Justin wrote me a note on thrusday telling me back off. I was a little hurt... i just was trying to be helpful... geesh. Justin was rediculously good looking. lol. I really thing that is all i have for week highlights. if i think of other stuf i will definately mention it... There was this evil life guard chris... but ill get that out later lol. polar bear swimming is the stuff. I miss camp tons. i drove home with Ellen and her pop and the whole time i talked about missing camp... how sad.

--- Poop is the Shit... all PUN INTENED!

I bought three THREE tanktops for me! and TWO yes TWO awesome CLEARENCE shirts that were only 8 dolla. lol holla dog. hahahaha. I bought jill's birthday present and that was exciting. i got her a mesh beach back from ae and a cute shirt. I took my mom out to lunch.. i had chicken tender which are my alll time favorite of resteraunt food. I still can't spell resteraunt... years of formal schooling and i can't spell... sad i know. Yesterday was my Potluck party... everyone h ad fun... right? a few ppl didn't show which kinda made me mad... it did say on the invite that you needed to RSVP. it really bothers me whne ppl do crap like that. I mean come on ... i'm having a party have the common curtusy to RSVP. but oh well. i am almost done packing for camp. And im tired. TIRED TIRED. im excited about camp. Im disappointed that ppl didn't show up to my party and im happy that i had fun at the mall. Hoping everyone the best for their week... don't go crazy with out me. lol.

--mcDonalds... oh man. it sickens me. I remember when it used to be just hamburgers and french fries and happy meals now you have salads and parfait... its crazy. Just leave my McDonalds alone.... please... atkins crazy world--

That's what it is to have a daughter, walking on egg shells half the time...
I was watching "My So Called Life" on Noggin last night and that's what Angela's Grandpa told her mom.. it was weird. to think that dad's are so shut out of big parts of their daughters lives... im not that close with my mom... but obviously i have to tell her stuff that i couldn't ever tell my dad... it's weird.. guys just don't ... i dunno have Guy Stuff.. i mean they do.. but you know... girls can be into it too. And this dave matthws album.. busted stuff.. i thik it sounds country on some songs. It's been awhile since i've listened to it... crazy. Okay. well band was yesterday and it was exciting not half as scary as i thought i'd actually really excited for tomorrow, we have band from 6-9... we're MARCHING! I feel so grown up telling ppl that im a freshman.. i know i'm at the bottom of the ladder again but still its exciting... i'm so old. Lol. Brittanie and jill and Katie... came over for a bit we watched you got served... which is always... soo funny.hahahahaha. and we ate pizza and had ice cream.. i love when its just us hanging out. a small group.. i don't take this for granted at all... this probably is my last summer of freedom... next summer ill probably have a job, i don't know how i feel about that just yet. lol. This summer is going to rock hardcore... next year, well that i'm not so sure about. but i have a feeling ill be okay. Ahh.. breathing... just to breathe... it's a BEAUTIFUL thing. : )

"stay or leave i want you not to go... but you should"

graduation
well today today. last night kiel and i were on the phone for the better part of two hours.. all the while i played "Otto's magic blocks" its a wierd game that reminds me of Booh Bahs. we talked about leaving.. about saying goodbye.how tough it's going to be with me going to a different school. ahh.i wrote this rather lengthy speech to all of my friends and read to them during lunch.. cried al ittle ... definately. This is my life.. in words... verbal shorthand. i won't try to describe the feeling of hte moment or what was in the speech.. it's not something we need to dwell on anymore. I just hope that they all know how much i will miss them and how much and i care for and love them all. I think its crazy how ive gotten soo close to six girls that are so radically different from eachother. Life is so weird.. but everything happens at once for a reason. i know this know. I know that i'm going to have a good summer... in fact i am sure of it. I wil it make it rock hard core. I'm looking on the bright side of things again.. she's Baaaa aaa ck! lol. catch ya later homefries.

weekend
Okay, so they've collected our books at school. The count down to graduation has really started. Next week we'll do nothing... at all. we have six flags to look forward too on thursday and the yearbook monday. Mr.Olsen let me take the "Flowers For Algernon" test... i lied to him about 8th perioud after our day of drama club performances... i told ms.ebel that he knew i was there.. needless to say he had no clue where i was.. so he had a cow and told me that the test we took in class that day i wasnt allowed to take. Great. But i took it... i probably did poorly seeing as though it had been two weeks since i had read the book but oh, well. Speaking of tests, the constitution test was on friday.. i got a 93% not bad at all. Im not one of those ninny's wo complains about not getting a's all the time.. i would have liked a 100 but at least i didnt fail and i dont have to retake it. Yesterday (friday) i babysat for a few hours and then went to Annmaries. I think im in trouble with the ppl i babysit for though because when the got home i was online with one of their daughters.. ha. Annmaries was fun we went to the park.. kinda.. it's right next to her house but it started to rain so we wnet in. It turns out her brother is the seventh grader i hit on on my way bakc to TIP from the media on weds. hahahahaha. he's cute. lol. today we went to britts me jil shannon and lindsay. that was fun until britt started getting mad because lindsay spilled water all over the floor.. yeah linds was being stupd.. poor britt. linds and i were going to throw her underwear out the window. hahahaha.i just got home so im tired. i will definately update soon and fill you on how our public takes the yearbook. Everyone who has seen it.. like student council and the teachers saw it and said they loved my dedication to mrs.bartlett.. who was our heath teacher who was diagnosed with cancer and died. The irony of that is that she was the HEALTHIEST person you could have ever met.. the woman never even had the flew.. its jsut ironic. But yeah. on awards night i got an award from yearbook a plaque and everyhting.. very fancy shmancy.. i was excited.. hahaha. i also got some acedmic excellence award.. what a bunch of who hah. lol. i got a patch for honor band and then we at some good cake and spiked punch. yeah we saw the yearbook at our last meeting..forgot to mention that.. i liked it. only one typo that wasnt' our fault,,, a name got cut off. YES!! i did!! LOVE ... AAH.

8th grade dance
okay the dance was on friday. it was actualy fun. i thought it was going to be lame but it turned out to be a really awesome time. So, i'm glad i went. i got a lot of complements on my dress.. and i got my pictures back today. i don't know if i like them... i look creepy in a lot of them. soo that's not good... but oooh well. I still had fun. sanfrantello's was great. everyone was behaved and everything like that, i was worried it would be a mad screaming fest and we'd get kicked out... luckily we didn't. I've (of course) got some gripes about the dance.. but hey i can't ever have a good time lol. i really wish i would resist verbalizing what went wrong... i jsut wish .. it didn't . But im okay. Im just glad that maybe next year things will be different... i'm not saying i ddin't have a good time b/c obviously i did. i had a wonderful time. i just think that maybe certain elements were holding me back ::hey drop me a line... if you want to talk about it, obviously too many people read this thing now adays...:: okay well i guess that's all? i'm really not sure... hm... ::smiles:: we're almost done woot! woot! -liz
