streetlight concert

last night was the streetlight manifesto concert i have so been longing for...

it was a good time.

so yesterday after i got off school i headed to the custard stand with my fellows, i got a kiddie cocktail and it was amazing... although i took it home and jon and weenie drank most of it.

but anyways, after that trent came over to pick me up (what a good guy, driving for hours for me) and we headed to st. louis. surprisingly, we didn't get lost too bad or anything and we got to the spaghetti factory and it was absolutely amazing!!! the food was very good and i was incredibly stuffed when we got done eating. trent ate the hearty portion and i don't understand how he was even moving afterward, cause i was dying.

but, after that we went on our way to sauget where pop's is located... we kinda got lost in the ghetto and pulled over to look for directions from google maps (gah) and these black guys pulled up in a tan ford grandma car and the driver was smoking weed and he rolled down his window, looked at trent and said "hey bruh, need some?" and trent goes "uh, no thanks" and then he rolled up the window and i screamed "drive!" and we drove away.

finally, we found pop's, got into the concert, watched the first three bands. they were all pretty good, one band had a violin that made cool noises, they were all in all pretty interesting.

then streetlight manifesto came on!!! it was so exciting, trent and i were right up in front and i got a big bruise on my ribs from where i got shoved into the stage but it's okay. they played a botar and nofx song... it was really great. and they played a lot of new songs that i really like and it was a good time.

i bought two t-shirts and trent bought one. i also bought some stickers.

i slept on the way home... it was nice.
i yelled at trent once, i'm sorry for that.

that's all,
mrs. johnson's yelling for lunch.
and it's not even lunch time.

UGH.
the night was good.
right now, not so much.

wow, it's been a while.

hello friends...

so i haven't posted a blog in a long time...

blogger used to be the cool thing to do, when mrs. brockett was gone. but now that she's back fromt maternity leave she watches the computers like crazy and we can't get on blogger anymore or we'll get yelled at, like i did.

but anyways, now i'm in biology and there's nothing to do so i can actually write! awesome.

so high school is coming to an end as we know it. i only have like 15 days of school left and i'm going to cry at graduation. i just know it.

but, aside from graduation is prom coming up! i'm so excited! this will be my last prom ever, and i believe i'm going to make it the best prom ever. i'm freakin out man.

oh and also in other news, trent went crazy. all he ever does is sleep, work, class, and write blogs about how he's going nuts... so watch out for him. (i love you, baby) :D

okay, i think that's all for now.
goodbye.

it's back!

so i have been computer-less for the past 3 or 4 weeks.
my laptop started acting weird the day i bought it, i would be on it doing something and all of a sudden it would just turn off. and every time i used it, the turning-off would get worse. so finally i brought it back to best buy and they said they had to run a diagnostic test on it, and couldn't even complete the diagnostic test because the computer wouldn't stay on long enough. but, they sent it away (to india, trent says) and had to replace the whole motherboard. but finally yesterday i got it back and trent went to pick it up for me...

things seem to be working well now.
i hope it stays that way.

oh, and also...
my contract runs out on my phone next month and i've decided on what phone i am going to get. it's the enV(2) from verizon wireless LG and it's beautiful. look it up on the internet.

it's all downhill from here.

sup hoes.

so, i'm in biology. spring break week is over, and honestly i'm a little sad. i think the week went by extremely fast and i think we should take another week off. i didn't do much over spring break, mostly because the only person i ever hang out with is trent, and since he was up at blackburn, i didn't do much. i worked on my scrapbook for jilg, it's almost done and needs to be completely done by next week. i'm scared.

trent returned from hilton head, he said it was a really good trip... well except for the fact he had to sleep with a guy and he almost got raped in his sleep. i'm glad he didn't. he brought me back a deck of hilton head cards, they're nice. i like them, and i keep them in my purse :D and i'm glad he had a good time. he really deserved that vacation.

i haven't blogged in a long time. my brand new laptop is completely ruined. it started shutting off for no reason at all and i had to take it back to best buy and they had to send it away to get fixed and now i have to wait 2-3 more weeks until i get my computer back. i hate it. i can't do anything. i need to fill out my fafsa and it's not being done because i don't have a computer.

i'm going to have a very busy week. very very busy. then after this week is over i have to go up to blackburn for the weekend so i can do a written interview to apply for the full-ride presidential scholarship. only 6 kids get full-ride, and that would be amazing if one of those six would be me.

i think that's all i have to say for now.
i can't wait for this week to be over and to see trent!

and as everyone always says about the school year:
"after spring break, it's all downhill from there."

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

oh, tuesday.

hello children.

it's once again another week at sesser-valier high school. nothing is different, things are getting stressful again. i'm going to probably have to work on ddr shit for my entire spring break, and i have no idea how i'm going to get the videos to trent if he doesn't come down this weekend, and if he does come down this weekend, they probably won't have all of the movies put together so that we can edit them. so, what's going to happen is that i'm going to have to work on them myself because trent will be back at blackburn and i have never edited a video in my life, trent does all that stuff, and i'll screw things up. hopefully this doesn't happen. also mrs. laur said she would pay trent if he did all the video editing, and i told him he would get paid, and today she asked if he would do it, i said yes, and then she hinted at not paying him. and if that's the way she's gonna work things, he isn't going to do it. and i don't blame him.

the posse has a joint page:
www.ilovesesservalierposse.blogspot.com

haha, i just realized how gay that is.
kim's a gay person.

i'm so excited for trent to come back... i know it's only been a couple weeks since i've seen him but ever since he's been on spring break to south carolina i talk to him MAYBE 10 minutes a day, and it really sucks. it's bad enough he lives so far away, at least we still had the phone then. but now, i don't even get to talk to him on the phone. i can't wait for this week to be over so he can come back home and see me. selfish, but i miss my boyfriend.

alright, i think that's all.
guhbye.

Friday, March 7, 2008

well, she's the devil.

mrs. johnson: did you ask your teacher if you could go?
tinsley: no.
mrs. johnson: who is your teacher? you have to ask your teachers.
tinsley: oh, well mrs. laur is my teacher.
mrs. johnson: well you have to ask your teacher if you can go.
tinsley: well, mrs. laur is the devil.

bahaha! :D:D:D
michael tinsley just made my day.

so anyways, i think i'm completely done with my JILG portfolio. which is great, because that thing was dang huge and i'm glad it's finished. and since i'm done, this means that i get to sit and do nothing for the entire hour. and i actually like the kids in my class, most of them are pretty stupid & entertaining.

trent left for south carolina yesterday! he's going to be gone for a week, and i really hope he has a lot of fun! the weather channel said that there were some pretty intense storms going through that area this morning, so i hope the weather is beautiful for the rest of the week there so that he can golf as much as his little heart desires! i really hope he has fun, my boyfriend is the busiest guy in the entire world, and he does so much, not to mention dealing with me everyday, and i think he deserves a vacation. i hope it's good. and i hope he brings me a sweet present back, he promised he would :D

it's now time for me to randomly look at people and write embarassing things they're doing:

lindi just said, "iggy pop and the stupids!"
lindi's not listening to kissFM anymore because they said lindsay lohan got a face lift.
maria has the dumbest look on her face when she's concentrating
:'d <--just like that.
trishina's going to get a root canal.
the boys are laughing at katie cause she's looking at bras on the internet.

i think that's all.
i'm bored.

today is weird.

it's true. today is weird!

it's gross outside and snowy and icy and we shouldn't have even had school. lots of other schools were cancelled for today, and i feel that ours should be the same. and, the school admins are even saying that there's a possibility we won't have school for the rest of the week due to the terrible weather.
although i feel that snow days are good, i do have an argument that they are not good because i would like to graduate before next august when the kids come back to school.

trent came home this weekend, what a guy. he's so good to me :)
we had a good weekend together.
he's going to south carolina on thursday and he's going to be gone for 9 days. he says we'll be able to talk as much as we do now, and i hope so. he's the thing i look forward to doing at night! lol.
that sounded incredibly weird.

our schedule is all messed up. instead of normal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7....
this week we're going...

4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7
awkward.

and i apologize for the first half of this blog because it was meant to be published tuesday, but i got caught by mrs. brockett in computers and of course, we're not supposed to be blogging during school! so, i couldn't finish the blog. and amazingly, she didn't rip my head off and roll it down the hallway, she just told me to get off blogger. sweet. so now the blog will continue from today, thursday.

so i got my haircut. i actually got a lot chopped off and nobody really seemed to notice. maybe people don't pay that much attention to me. but anyways, i like my haircut. i have sweet layers and cool bangs. and i got my eyebrows waxed, and it hurt. hahaaa. i am so tired of school, i can't wait to graduate.

they changed the date for graduation, again!
may 22
so;; plan to attend my graduation on this day from now on.
and there WILL be a riot if they move the date back again.

ookay, this is too long. and i'm tired of typing.
goodbye fellows.

random thoughts

hello friends.

so today has been mediocre. i changed my profile earlier this morning, and i like this just as well as my last one. and weird as it may seem, i thought that my profile should be green, so this is what i came up with. although, i did ask trishina permission to use this profile because she's has the same one but in pink. but she's a chill girl and said she didn't mind. yeah. hahaha. i'm a fag.

some pregnant chick wearing capris stole my computer. does she not understand that i sit at that computer in the library every day of my life? honestly, this year so far, i've NEVER sat anywhere else. and no computer in this library is as great as my computer, NONE. i frikkin hate this computer that i'm sitting at now, the mouse sucks and the keyboard feels weird and it's mixed... no seriously. the monitor is white but the keyboard and tower are black. ugh. i wish i had my old computer back!

mrs. johnson watches lost. that's pretty cool, i had no idea that she watched it. i love that show more than i love life. she just walked over here but i had to switch to solitaire because we can't let the authoritative figures know that we use blogger, because they'll rid it just like they did myspace. damn librarians.

i think this weekend will be cool. i'm not really doing anything tonight, but that's just fine with me. i've been extremely busy this week and i'm glad that i finally have a night where i don't have to do much. i fell asleep in geography so maybe i should take a nap tonight. i think i might. but anyways, i think trent might come home this weekend. i love that kid, really. he would do anything for me, and i love that about him. he wasn't going to come home at first, but then we both realized that he'll be gone for the next two weeks to north carolina [or somewhere, i don't know] and we'll barely even be able to talk. so, being the awesome boyfriend he is, he might come home just to make me happy.

kim and lindi won't shut the fuck up. they're really annoying me.
lindi: she said that you don't sing on time or the right notes.
kim: i do sing the right part lindi! she took me off descant! i sing right i sing right!
lindi: i'm just repeating what she said quit yelling at me!
kim: no you quit yelling at me, i'm just discussing it!
lindi: well go talk to her, i'm just saying what she said.
kim: well i don't want to go talk to her...
everyone: shut up! you're really annoying. one of you go over and talk to the other. quit yelling across the room.
lindi: come over here.
kim: no! you come over here!
FIGHTFIGHTFIGHT.

that was the most ridiculous moment of my life.
i'm done now.
goooooooooooooooOooooooooodbye.

i'm FKN stressed out, dude.

it's true. this week has probably been the most stressful week of my life, and honestly, mrs. johnson's not making it any better right now. ugh.

okay, so first off, i have had so much stuff to do for school this week, enough homework to where i actually have to take it home and work on it for a couple hours a night. and to be honest, i never ever have to take homework home.

secondly, my great aunt sterling is in the hospital, again. she was there a couple weeks ago because she fell and couldn't get up, so when she got out of the hospital, i had to stay with her because she couldn't take care of herself. then, this weekend on my way up to blackburn, i got a call saying that she had fallen again and is in the hospital, again. but this time after she gets out of the hospital they're making her go to a nursing home for about a month so that she can get her strength back and then she'll go home. but to make matters worse, my dad's mother fucking stupid ass family has decided to get in on this and they're trying to make her go to a nursing home really far away. i honestly wouldn't care if they all just died in a terrible car crash. they obviously don't care about her and just want her to go away so they don't have to take care of her anymore. that's cowardly, and i wouldn't care if they just... died. i wouldn't. i know it's a terrible thing to say but goddammit, i hate them. they don't do anything for me and don't even acknowledge that i'm related to them and finally when they do see me, they give me tons of shit about how i never come to see them, and yell at me. and first off, i'm eighteen years old, and not one of those eighteen birthdays or christmases have they ever gotten me anything. why would i want to see them? and i love my aunt sterling more than anyone, she's raised me and taken care of me since i was a little baby, and i don't understand how such an amazing person can be related to such a group of fucking idiots. i don't! i swear if they do anything to make her go far away or anything i'll sue them. i'll take everything they have and leave them homeless.

and yes, i'm a heartless bitch. so what.

oh, and my cell phone bill is due in 8 days and it's $115.
i have about $50.
...awesome.

UGH.
:(

the perfect weekend


i'd like to start off by saying this weekend was one of the best weekends in a very long time.


it all started on thursday [odd day to start the weekend, but whatever] and we had a snow day at school, which was pretty great, i'm always excited to sleep in. all day i did pretty much nothing, which was also good. then on friday we had another snow day, and i've noticed, that we've never had this many days off school since i can remember, and they wait until my senior year to make all these days off school possible. i'd like to thank the schoolboard for allowing so many snow days and not changing the date for graduation. okay, so anyways, saturday i was supposed to go to blackburn so that trenton and myself and a bunch of other kids could to go to a concert. on friday, no school, sleep in, then my mom comes home from work and tells me that the roads are clear and if i wanted to go to blackburn a day early i could, which was really exciting. so i went up there a day early and trent and i got to spend the night together, we didn't do much friday night, but that's okay, because it was still fun.


then, saturday! the day of the toasters concert! we woke up pretty early, and planned on leaving at around 2. we took showers, watched ninja warrior, and cleaned out the car. then around time to leave i got to meet trent's friends mason, bardo, and travis. they were pretty cool kids, although i will admit it was kind of weird going somewhere with 4 guys and 3 of them i didn't know. but anyways, we went to the spaghetti factory and ate, which was absolutely amazing like always. then we drove to the concert and had a good time skanking the night away. only down part of the whole night is that i got harassed by a drunk guy, but trent and his friends helped get him offa me, so that's okay. and when the drunk guy got up on the stage, the bass player kicked him off and nobody caught him, so that's fun. then we went home and i was SO tired! so we went to sleep and ended the perfect saturday.


sunday wasn't anything too special, we woke up late and i got up and took a shower, but my stinky boyfriend was too lazy to do anything besides lay in bed and watch ninja warrior [which i guess was our tv show of the weekend] and finally we got into a pretty amazing wrestling match and i tried to pull him off the bed and throw him out the door. it was pretty great, i will admit it was probably the funnest part of sunday. then finally trent took a shower [i won the match, fa sho.] although, his neighbors probably think that we're crazy, but it's okay. then sadly enough, i had to return home :(


but, it was an amazing weekend. i had a lot of fun :)

valentine's day<33

so, yesterday was valentine's day...

it was probably the most uneventful valentine's day ever. we had a snow day at school and so i stayed at home all day, and didn't even get to spend the day with my sweetheart because he lives so far away. i didn't have a bad day though, just slightly boring.

although i didn't get to spend the day with trent, i did come to a realization. i realized that trent is the best boyfriend in the entire world, and i mean it. he tried so hard to make my day good for me and was just probably the cutest thing in the entire world. he called me when he wasn't busy all day long just to tell me he loved me, and although it wasn't much, it meant a lot to me. he also made a video for me just to tell me how much i mean to him and how much he loved me. and it was the sweetest thing i've ever seen, i'm so happy that he made it for me.

apparently, he says there's much much more to my valentine's day gifts, and i believe they'll be coming to me everyday until sunday, when we actually get to see each other and spend our "fake valentine's day" together. i'm pretty excited.

so basically, even though i didn't get to see trent, i did have a very good valentine's day. i spent most of the day in my pajama bottoms, but still... every time my phone rang i got a compliment and was told that i was loved... and i know it sounds silly, but it really made me happy. i'm so glad that trent & i are going out and have been for 2 and a half years. i hope it's for much longer.

hehe & since i know trent will read this...
i love you baby and i always will. you really are the greatest & you make me the happiest girlfriend in the entire world! :)

i'm bored now.
i hate first and second hours. blah.

...it's a revolution!

my bffl.

so i just decided that chelsea is probably the coolest girl in the entire world. she does crazy things and she's really weird sometimes, especially when she sings lip gloss in computers and it freaks the hell out of me. but seriously, she's a real cool girl.


i think she's probably just like me but in a more model-like way. but we can pretty much agree on anything and it think she's awesome. the end.


i wrote this entire blog staring into her eyes while she was singing lip gloss to me, sticking her tongue out, licking her lips, and dancing all over my body. how exciting.

super tuesday!

today is super tuesday.

barack, hillary, and whoever else is in the race...
nobody knows.

i'm going with trishina today after school to vote. it's kinda weird because i figured with sesser being such a small town that we'd vote at the same place, but our voting cards have us stationed at different places to vote. ugh. i'm scared to go in the vfw by myself to vote! haha. and also, just mentioning that we're going to vote after school turned into a very heated (and loud) debate at the breakfast table about who was the best candidate for president. me and trishina were screaming barack, chelsea was yelling about how the race is dead now that john edwards is gone, and bart and maria were screaming at each other about how some presidential candidate got a $2000 haircut. and who would spend so much money on a haircut if he could really be feeding the starving children in africa and getting a $15 cut at wal-mart? seriously! but no, it was loud, and quite embarassing. and of course, the debate followed us all the way to first hour computers, and where the whole entire class joined in about who was the greatest candidate...

... all because i asked trishina if she was going with me to vote after school.

rawr.

i think today will be a pretty good day. everyone came to school in a good mood, and although the debate was heated for awhile, nobody really got mad at each other, it was more of a good-mooded event. i suppose. but anyways, i hope everyone stays in a good mood and that i have a good day, because i want to.

okay, that is all for now, classes are getting ready to switch over and my computers kids are leaving me for the consumer ed kids, and i'm glad that i don't have to move and just stay at my computer for another hour.

that is all!
:)

A Trip to BC

so i had a really good weekend =]
i went up to blackburn to visit trenton and hang out with him for the weekend. we had a lot of fun, and the whole weekend was great. i went up there saturday morning and left sunday afternoon. it was really snowy, but i didn't have too much trouble driving up there, i mostly drove interstates so there were no slick spots. although, i couldn't say the same for blackburn campus. everything was iced over, and the only footprints in the snow were the ones from the first person who had to walk through the snow, then everyone else just followed the first person's footprints, so that's what i did. but aside from the snow, the weekend was really fun.

i got up there saturday morning after 2 hours of driving, and luckilly trent was able to get my phone call when i got there and come let me in the dorm, opposed to last time when i couldn't call him and i stood outside for 20 minutes waiting for him to come unlock the door for me. trent lives on the third floor now, and the stairs aren't fun, i will admit. he's also made a top bunk bed out of his bed, which is now located on the top of his dresser and desk, making it impossible for me to get up there, because i'm so scared i'm going to fall 6 feet down and hit the ground. but, after i got there we went to this chinese restaurant in litchfield, and it was really really good. we ate sushi and accidently tracked mud all over the floor :) haha. then saturday night we went to see this magician, named brian brushwood, who was absolutely hilarious. he's a college-traveling magician and he's great. he did a lot of tricks and magic stuff that was really good, and he even lit himself on fire and cut his tongue off. it's true. then after the magician i went and met some of trent's friends and played some pool. then we went back to trent's dorm and decided to go to the new wal-mart, which is AMAZING! i've never seen a wal-mart like it, and when you walk down the frozen food aisles, the lights are all off. BUT, when you walk down the aisle, the lights turn on! it's great, we spent about 15 minutes just running down the aisles and then trying to get down the aisles without turning the lights on. fantastic. then we took our little shopping cart and did trent's grocery shopping, complete with jello, granola bars, sunny d, and macaroni and cheese. then we went home and went to bed.

i woke up early sunday morning, and went to get in the shower. it was kind of awkward because there were girls in there that didn't know who i was, so being the awesome kid i am, i introduced myself and made some bathroom friends. i was up for almost 3 hours when trent woke up. we watched an episode of the king of queens and then went to our favorite carlinville mexican restaurant. it was good. then it was finally time for me to go home. but trent, being the good boyfriend he is, carried my suitcase out to my car for me and then we said goodbye, it really sucked because i don't get to see him that often, but hopefully we'll see each other again soon... and then it stormed the whole way home... and i hate driving through rain on the interstate.

but, in conclusion, it really was a good weekend. i'm so glad that i got to go up and see trent, i think he had a lot of fun too :)

now enjoy pictures of brian brushwood;














he hammered that nail into his nose.
and he also ate fire.

scholarships

i've decided that scholarships are no fun, but necessary to get me through college.

i'm working on filling out as many as possible, and hopefully i won't have to pay anything for college, wouldn't that be amazing!?

i'm also here to let you know that if you fill out scholarships there are some things that you should keep in mind:
1. if the fags on the internet tell you to pay money to apply for the scholarship, don't do it! it's a fraud. and that's bad.
2. you can get scholarships for just about anything. examples: being left handed or being ran over by a tractor on accident.
3. there are actually ones on the internet that are pretty easy to apply to. just put in your info and they pick randomly, which means no essay writing.
4. the only scholarships mrs. henry decides to show us are the ones that apply to people who are going to major in agriculture.

and that's about all for now.
be safe out there!

dime a dozen miseries

i really just hate when people are blind and can't see what's really happening.

i guess sometimes you only do what's in your best interest,
and it may not seem smart to listen to the people around you.
after all, it's your life.
not theirs.
i just wish people could see what's really good for them,
not what they think is right at the time.
i mean, you're growing up,
and i do understand when my parents tell me
"you think you know everything at eighteen,"
i'm too young to know anything yet,
just, i think a lot.
friends, family, boyfriend, school, everything.
and for me to be too young,
means my friends, the people i look up to most,
are too young too.
there's three people in particular that i can talk to about anything,
and what if they're too young to know anything?
it's like i'm looking down instead of up.
but really, it's not about me,
just about people in particular that if i were to write names,
it'd start a whole bunch of drama that doesn't need to happen.
and if your reading this, don't worry.
chances are it's not you.
i just hate to see things around me that others can't see for themselves.
i just want to tell them they're being stupid,
but i realize there are probably things that people think i'm stupid for.
so my strategy is to keep my mouth shut.
i just felt like i needed to get things off my chest,
and i just wish people would open their eyes.

it makes me wonder what i'm missing out of life.

the day after...

okay, so yesterday was my birthday, and it was really great. i had probably one of the greatest birthdays of my life. my day at school was pretty great, everyone was pretty nice to me and my friendies sang really loud to me at lunch, and everyone got along pretty well. also, mrs. laur let us play speedball in p.e., she said it was for me. definitely.

after school my friends and i had planned to go to don tequila's to eat some mexican for dinner, and i was really really happy because all of my friends came, and usually at my birthday parties a few people don't go, but this year everyone went and truly it made me the happiest girl in the world. the party consisted of:

me [duh]
trent
kim
katie
bart
trishina
lindi
maria
chelsea
and kanako!

it was really great. we went to don tequilas and i absolutely love the waitresses there [they said i'm like their daughter] and i got a soda and she didn't charge me for it! and then also i noticed that most of my friends ordered the smaller order of chicken on the beach and the waitress brought them all big orders! i was pretty excited. and then after we were all done eating, the waitress brought me fried ice cream with sprinkles and stuff on it. she put the big sombrero on me and then everyone sang happy birthday to me, and she got this huge spoonful of ice cream and shoved it in my face! i literally inhaled it and it went everywhere! it was really funny, and of course everyone took pictures. haha.

then i got to open my amazing gifts!
maria got me a cute card & money, which is always absolutely amazing, i love money. and bart got me a white board and markers and an eraser for my room which was really nice, bart's a nice kid, and he also took into consideration that i said that i wanted stuff for my room, and a white board is something i've been wanting for awhile. that was a good gift. and kanako got me haichu's, which is kinda like starburst but they're green apple and from japan, they're awesome. and she also got me this really cute necklace with an angel on it, kanako's great. bffl kana! and kim got me a whole huge bag of stuffs, such as a college fund, a red and black [blackburn colors] sweatshirt, an extremely embarassing picture of me and katie from jr. high, and a witty card with all her love! when i read the card i really almost cried. i loved all my gifts from everyone and really, just everyone coming to my birthday was a good enough gift!

to conclude this birthday blog, i say that i had a great birthday. my friends are great and i had so much fun last night!!! ily guys!<3

love,
the birthday girl.

transportation problems.

so the streetlight manifesto concert got cancelled.

well not cancelled, postponed.
they had "transportation problems."

although trent was running late, and i was mad, the night turned out pretty well. OF COURSE, trent was running late and i was angry, haha. and just as he was coming to my house to pick me up, his sister called and said that the concert had been cancelled. he got to my house and said so, and i was upset! i was so looking forward to seeing streetlight manifesto... it makes me sad. but i guess it's good that it was only postponed, that means we will still get to see a concert, but who knows when. so trent was at my house and we had nothing to do. we decided to go to red lobster to eat, which was amazing! the food was good and trenton and i had fun. we also even got crab legs and had a lot of fun trying to crack them open! tehe. it was the first time i ever had crab legs, and even though i don't really think i liked them, i still liked cracking them open and pulling the stuff out and eating it. haha.

then we went to toys-r-us. that was okay, there was practically nobody in there except me and trent. we looked at the video games and the computer games and board games, and then trent was complaining about how he had to go to the bathroom, so he left. i thought the kid went to the bathroom and he called me like 10 minutes later, and he was out in the car! he said he thought i went to the car and i thought he went to the bathroom. so then i realized i was walking around in toys-r-us like a lunatic by myself. haha. so i went to leave and i couldn't find the exit. it's cool though, the guy working there thought i was nuts though, i think he thought i was either a psychopath or trying to steal something, he asked if i was "doing okay" and then asked if i "needed any help." ...what a freak.

then we went home.
i hope i get to see me some streetlight soon.



love,
the toys-r-us bandit.
