The annual big vacation from the facility where children usually lose their social virginity has come to an end this year for me. It is sometimes called Summer Vacation, and people usually enjoy this antidote for education and intelligence. I SHURE DID LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OMG TATERS AND NINJAS But seriously, this summer was quite fun, though, quite literally with the said education and intelligence comment--I did take a break from my usual joy for self education on the internet and occasionally other forms, because I think I became entertained with other things. Infact it makes me a little sad to reflect on that. I did pick up trivial things here and there, but I didn't find myself wanting to write more things for you all to read, unless it was regarding one thing I wrote for my t r a u m a t i s m blog, which I suppose I can link at the bottom of this entry. I also took a hiatus from art, which also makes me sad to think about. I painted two things, I believe, but that was it. And maybe a couple drawings. So what DID I do? Let me think about this. I remember Erika and I went to a local concert the Friday before school got out, and then uh.. The End. Not really though. Next I remember going to Carowinds, which is a park with rollercoasters in North Carolina that I'm in love with, though I had a fear of the rollercoasters at that time. Now I'm becoming more fascinated with them. The night before going I got no sleep AT ALL, so I think I ended up staying awake a total of about 36 hours. I was told I was pretty boring that day, so because I'm lame I blame my lack of sleep, and it probably had a lot to do with the fact there were a few rides I refused to ride at the time. I really did have an awesome time though. The movies. I didn't go as often this summer as I have in the past. I believe I only went three times. One was Mind Hunters (early June), which was horribly done. Possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen in theaters, right next to Boogieman. I guess we know what his weakness was... (WATCH THE MOVIE AND MEMORIZE CORNY LINES, AND YOU WILL GET THAT SENTENCE) Next was Land of the Dead (late June). George Romero, why have you forsaken me? Some of the zombie make up was nice here and there. Then Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Mid July), totally my savior, and I still love Tim Burton after all his years in the film industry. Lovely visuals, and no other actor could have pulled off even a Wonka like character in 2005 like Johnny Depp did. And minus the hair, I found him mildly attractive in it. Maybe it was the teeth. But now back to the order of events, I don't remember much more interesting things taking place in June. I remember hanging out with my friend Brittany a bit, making a trip to Wal-Mart, Taco Bell (I ordered nachos, not knowing they put meat on it :( )and various other little trips on different days. On one occasion, while with another friend at the time, I got out of the car and rolled over in the grass. That was on a day, after coming from Bestbuy and a bookstore. Next was July, where a little more awesomeness took place. Up until July 2, my computer was shit. Window Millenium edition, widely known to suck pretty hard. Plus it was having internet troubles, and many, many things that frustrated me daily. So it was time to take out a chunk of money and buy me a new computer. I bought an HP pavilion, and I love this thing. Just beautiful. And here's another cool thing, after it was loaded up in the car, and I was headed home, my mom totally decided to give me my money back, and she ended up buying it for me. My mom is the coolest mom EVER. Then July fourth came along, which now has two important meanings to me: the anniversary of my becoming a vegetarian (July 4 2004), and the day I got my first job. I went to work on that Monday at 10:00. I entered the working world as a busboy. Surprisingly, I love my job. Picking up and scraping the plates of people's half eaten food. You learn so much about people's personal lives, while you eaves drop on people's conversations, as you clean tables. I don't know why I enjoy my job so much. I think it's made me realize I love to just stay busy. Oh and yet another thing to add to my list of unfinished writing/art projects. I will be writing a comic based on the things I witness/hear while at work. Except exaggerated. Like I said, I love listening to people's personal conversations. Brittany went to Washington DC, and while there, she asked me what I wanted a picture of. Coulda been anything there, yet I wanted one thing: A picture of her toe. I only ended up with a shot of her foot next to the White House though. Oh well! She gave me some cool other pictures, however. There was one of a squirrel skeleton. Damn, I want a squirrel skeleton. And one of us together, except I was in the form of a cell phone. Then July 19 came. The first time I got to spend some alone time with Erika in a very long time. I had lots of fun. Most of my fun looked similar to the picture I'm going to post below, but there were lots of laughs, and even pizza. And I think this day inspired the greatness of July 20. On July 20, Erika and I got back together. And I was very surprised and happy beyond reason when she told me this is what she wanted. GD, I love her. My next memories involve Brittany again. We went to THE NEW WALMART WHICH IS LIKE THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD SUPPOSEDLY. I actually like it quite well. I had went before with her and Brittany, but didn't look around much. This time we looked quite a bit, and I actually saw things I'd like to buy. I did buy a bonsai tree, which I love very much, especially since I had a fascination with some Asian couture. And Buddha figurines. I saw one of those awesome as Hell chairs that I want too. I liked this one I saw at Spencers better though, pink and fuzzy. It was those chairs that have the found metal frame. I also want one of their cute little trash cans. And there was actually a shirt that I LIKED in there. It was a girl's shirt that said blonde. So cute. I think the opening of this largest one, has made me feel a little bit closer to the entity known as Wal-Mart. That makes me sick a little bit. Hm, yes so. Oh yeah, and on a later day we went bowling, with her friend Becky. That was fun, even though I sucked the first round, because I haven't played in years. The second round, I sucked far less though. After we left that night, we went to a different Wal-Mart, where I added another lovely plant to my tiny collection, which was a Ponytail Palm. It's origins are in Mexico, I think. Still beautiful! Then, I believe more recently, we went to Carowinds together. Here was where I realized how much I love rollercoasters. They also had some shades I instantly fell in love with. But we walked away, but I decided I wanted them later on much more, so when we went back to get them, we couldn't find 'em. Sad. I still want some huge frame white shades though. That are oval-shaped. Please find some for me. I made many comments as the rollercoasters took off. Very random. Like Greg Brady; where I was all "Oh Greg Brady. I want to fuck you, Greg Brady." And "Ah, my testicles..." etc, etc. Someone better plan another trip to Carowinds, 'cause I miss it already! Then Erika again. She spent the night at my house twice. Gahd, the neatness of her spending the night! I love every ounce being with her in the late hours of the night, sitting in complete darkness, except for the dim blueish tented light provided by the television screen. Since the last time she stayed the night, was just a few hours ago. I can tell you more about it. On several occasions I remember almost falling asleep while we were cuddled together. But even those vague moments in reality are so fun, and I miss her very much right now thinking about it! She brought a movie we were supposed to watch together, but never got around to it. That happens to often. BRING IT NEXT TIME, 'KAY ERIKA? BUT SINCE SHE JUST MENTIONED IT, NO I DID NOT WANT YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE LASTNIGHT SO I COULD SLEEP. LASTNIGHT WAS TEH SHIIT. I wish I could elaborate more on some things. There are so many funny moments of each of the mentioned things, and I know I'm leaving out lots of details here and there. But you know! I'm rushing to get this written now. It's 11:30 at the moment, and I gotta be up at six in the morning, to start getting ready for school. So yeah, that's a basic outline of my summer!
