Woo! Day three of blogging from Grammy's house.
I don't mind doing this for them because I know they appreciate it...but their dog hates me. She won't ever go outside when I need her to and then I end up having to leave her for long hours. It's horrible. I feel so sorry for her, but what am I suppose to do?
Anyway, Katelynn and I were suppose to conduct roommate interviews today buuuut none of them seemed to work out for one reason or another. I was feeling pretty aggravated and feisty for a while but then Katelynn's parents stopped over and saw the apartment. I don't know what it is about those two but they are immediate spirit lifters. My bad mood was wiped away instantly. They are angels.
Tomorrow I'll probably go out and hunt around some more and then I want to go and visit Shane's grave. It's been way too long, I'm going to try and get my friend Adi to come with me, who knows if I'll be able to get a hold of him or not though. We'll see.
I'm out for now. See ya tomorrow biatches.

Keys.
Ayeeeeeee.
Here I am again on my ownnnnn like a drifter I was born to walk aloneee...
Nah, just kidding. I'm sitting at Grandma's with Autumn watching a Criminal Minds marathon and sorting through roommate applications. We have a few interviews set up for tomorrow because - we got the keys today!! Hurray!! Some people want to come on out and have a look to see if we're going to get along and if they like the townhome. It'll all work out in the end and I'm going to stop stressing about it.
I'm obviously in another slump where I don't want to blog, since I keep forgetting and when I do remember they're so short. It's horrible, but there's only five more months of bloggy goodness left! WOO! Good times!
I'll see ya tomorrow biatches - hopefully with a new roommate.

Eh.
Well,
I failed yesterday but it doesn't even matter. Katelynn will have you believe that it matters a great deal. But it doesn't. I don't care any longer.
Today I went on a job interview, I feel like it went pretty well. I'll find out on Monday whether I got it or not. I sure hope so because I'm getting pretty pissed off about everything.
So, after my interview Katelynn and I finally got the keys to our apartment - or key I should say. We haven't had a second one made yet. Tomorrow we're going to go in there and start cleaning it to our satisfaction so we can interview people on Thursday. We have a few offers, but none that I'm super excited about. I don't know how it's going to go but it's pretty stressful and I'm ready for things to be put into place.
As for now, we're at my Grammy and Aunt Kathy's house sitting the pooch. They went out of town so I promised them I'd say here for the week and keep their pets company.
Anyway, I'm going to get going because I'm severely aggravated with this day and I'm ready for it to be over.
See ya tomorrow...probably.
Peace,
Faith

This Seems to be Becoming Routine...
Soooo...
I didn't blog yesterday, but I suppose at this point it doesn't even matter anymore. I was pretty busy and by the time I remembered it was 11:30pm and people were over and on the computer. So I just chucked it up as another loss.
Aside for my repeated utter failure yesterday was actually pretty great. I went and hung out with Angie for a while and visited with Jayden and Layna. When I got home I begged and pleaded for some human interaction and Chris caved. He showed up with his friend Robert and we watched a movie and they ate my family reunion cookies.
We all hung out, got in the hot tub, and hung out some more. I didn't sleep until at least 4:30am and woke up at 8am. AWESOME.
I did end up going to the family reunion after I picked up Hannah. I of course got lost of the way and drove around Allen Park for much longer than I wanted to.
Anyway, I'm home now, in my jammies, being emo and watching John Mayer on Fuse. I'm living the good life forrrr sure.
I'll be bizzack tomorrow. As long as I don't forget. HA!

Storms
Hiiiii
Man! Was it hot today or WHAT? We woke up pretty early and got some shopping done then came home and Holly left for the weekend. I'm just sitting here now waiting out the storms with Autumn until she goes over to Aunt Kathy's. A friend of mine is turning 21 today so they are having a crazy party for her here in Ypsilanti, so hopefully I can find someone sober to go with me. If not I'll probably just hang around here until Katelynn gets home and then watch endless episodes of Criminal Minds with her. We're awesome.
Tomorrow I have to bake about 6558758 cookies, and a few other things for the family reunion on Sunday. That should keep me busy for a pretty good portion of the day. I'm kind of looking forward to it. It should be a good time.
Anyway, I'm going to hop off here and get the house in order. I'll be back at some point tomorrow.

Kim
I figured I had better blog now.
We seem to have some pretty nasty weather coming our way so I better just get this out of the way in case of a power outage. I'm not really feeling up to it though, I'm nervous about possible tornadoes and also today is the one year mark since Kim passed away.
Needless to say it's been a pretty rough day. I've been tying to think of things that I could do to honor her memory but I've yet to come up with anything. Her family didn't have a funeral for her, or really even include my family in anything. I'm pretty sure she was cremated and brought back to West Virginia, so I don't have any grave site to visit. I don't know. It's just been rough on all of us and I'm trying to just let it go today. I have to babysit Autumn and one of her friends in a couple hours so it's probably best if I'm up to par for some 7 year old fun!
I'll be fine, I know today is just a taste of what's to come in two months. I can live with this, I can be free.
I will be back tomorrow.

FAILED.....AGAIN!
Guys listen!
I am so ridiculously aware of my failure yesterday. I was gone all day running errands with Katelynn and her Grams and didn't get home until probably 8ish. Katelynn was planning on going to visit her cousin and go to the club for her birthday, but she ended up locking her keys in the car. LUCKILY getting AAA car insurance was on our errands list and they sent a tow truck drive to come unlock her door. By that time it was too late to go anywhere so we just stayed home with Holly, fucked up spark plugs, and sat in the hot tub for ever. It was pretty relaxing.
By the time I remembered to blog, I was getting out of the hot tub and the internet was down, and stayed down until like noon today. So yeah, I failed again. Good times.
Today there wasn't a lot going on. I cleaned for hours, listened to tons of crazy music and now I'm watching MTV.
I am such a winner.
A winner who will return tomorrow.
Adios!

ARGG.
Hi.
I'm not writing any fucking stories today either. I think to even out my unusual good mood yesterday I got kicked in the ass with being super pissed off and grumpy today. Not to mention my back and side have been killing me all night and day. I'm just over it and I don't want to do shit.
I don't even know what to write right now. I literally can not think of anything I am even remotely interested in talking about. I've literally had this page open for an hour and I am just drawling a blank. My head is too filled with pissed off-ness to think about anything else.
I don't know. I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully in a better mood.
Later,

Old Fashion Fun
Uh, so shit.
I'm hung over, and it sucks.
It spend the day yesterday laying on the deck, reading Sookie Stackhouse novels and drinking bloody marys - though I think I mentioned that part already. Katelynn got off work at 11, and got home like 45 minutes later. We were literally out of the house my midnight. I was so proud of her. So we go to the Walmart up here to try and cash her check, with no luck. So we sputtered to Monroe on fumes, got her check cashed at the Walmart here, bought some pomegranate vodka and headed to Denise and Tony's.
Buy the time we actually got there it was almost 2am and everyone was sleeping besides Chas, and Chris had showed up to keep him company and wait for us. We sat around for a while and played Never Have I ever, debating pitching a tent, debating coming here to get in the hot tub, and then eventually decided to go to the beach so we could see the sun rise. So we all pile into Chris' car and head out. We ended up in Newport Beach at the shittiest section of sand and dirt I've ever encountered. There was some kind of construction going on so it was pretty hit, not to mention we were not even facing the right direction to see the sun rise. So we played on the playground for a minute and then Chris brought us back to Denise and Tony's and then we went to Chas' and slept at like 8am.
AWESOME.
It sounds ridiculously boring, and I'm sorry that I put you all through it but I really didn't have anything else to talk about today. It was fun though, nothing too crazy. Just some good old fashion fun. I loved it because I knew we would be safe with Captain SxE so I didn't really have to be reserved. It's been way too long since I've just been able to let loose. It needs to happen more often I think, it put me in a ridiculously great mood today.
Anyway, that's all I guess. It's about to storm which means it's time for me to take a nap. See ya'll tomorrow!

Survival
Today I've been thinking a lot about Shane. It's actually a rare occurrence for me to think about him so much. Don't get me wrong, I think about him regularly but for about the last week he's been weighing heavily on my mind. It's so strange to me that everyone has just picked up and gone on with their lives. That's what's going to happen with my dad and Kim soon. I know it, soon we're going to make it through entire days with out them crossing our minds. In a way I'm looking forward to it, but in a way I'm dreading it. All of their memories are slowly fading, just like their tattoos inked on my skin. Slow healing, fading a little bit - but always still there. The weird thing is that until I started writing this blog, I completely forgot that this coming up Thursday will be one year since Kim passed away.
You see what I mean? Everything is just slipping from me and I think that's why Shakey has been on my mind so much. I've let him go, and only realized it this past week. I've freed myself from guilt, and pain - and here I am. Still alive, still beating.
I'm proud of myself. One down, two to go.
Good Saturday everyone.

Short Stories
All right,
So like 10 minutes ago I was talking to my African American almost step nephew Chas. We were talking like we generally do Monday through Friday before 5pm and I was telling him about the crazy ass dreams I've been having. I'll spare you the details but he ended up saying "Seriously, you could start cranking out some short stories instead of journals." So I sat there for a minute and thought about it. I opened up a blank page and starting thinking about the dreams I've had that I could write about. I have a million, because I nearly always remember my dreams. But I couldn't do it. I'm so used to writing about real life that I was having troubles. Even thought I had these dreams, and it feels like I lived them, I know that I didn't.
So that's when I decided. I'm going to force myself to write stories, for practice. Of course I don't want to make a career out of story telling, but it could never hurt to be versed it in. This is my ad:
Send me your short story ideas. Any idea at all, crazy, weird, dramatic, horrific. It doesn't matter. Send it to me and if I like it I'll write a story about it. There are seven open slots so you'll have to make it a good idea. I'll be doing this for one week, starting this Sunday July 18th. Be gentle with me though, the chances of me epically failing at story telling is high. But I'm going to give it a go.
Wish me luck and send me your ideas!

To Switch, or Not to Switch?
I have the blog switched over.
I just haven't decided if I like the way it looks yet. It's all kind of simple and not exactly what I expected. Chances are I will still keep this blog as my project but use the other one through out the day and week to post random things that are not exactly blogging material.
We'll see though, I haven't completely decided.
So anyway, today has been chill. I did laundry, watched a movie and basically just hung out with myself. Now I'm drinking a beer because I'm stressed. Poor Katelynn is stranded in Perrysburg at a gas station because her car blew up. Of course it had to be an hour and a half away from everyone she knows. Her parents are on their way down there now to save her, but she probably won't be home tonight, boo.
But yeah, I just wanted to fit this blog in real quick while the other house residents are on a smoke break. They're watching a movie and I don't want my typing to bug them.
I'll be back tomorrow, whether it be here, or on Posterous - I do not know!
See you then!

Switching Things Up.
Hey people!
This MIGHT be my last post on Blogger. My blog is being converted over to Posterous right now and I figure I can test it out tomorrow and see how much I enjoy it. The good thing about this is that there won't be any changes to this particular location so if it doesn't go over the way I want it to, no biggie!
I know for sure that I like the site. I tested it out with a photo of Jayden and it was so ridiculously easy that I couldn't NOT try to blog on it. Parker had a fantastic hunch with that one. I'm pretty excited to see how it all turns out. It makes me actually want to blog again. Hurray!
Aside from blog converting today I did my basic house duties, hung out with Autumn and finished that "Captivate" book I mentioned earlier this week. It was kind of disappointing. It left off at a RIDICULOUS point and now I'm pissed that I have to wait for like, two years to read the next one. Blasphemy, I tell you! Also I've been feeling like of feverish all day. If I knew how menopause felt I would describe my hot flashes and sickey feelings like that. I don't know, I'm sure it'll pass.
Anyway, I am once again in the mist of cooking dinner so I should probably make this a short one. Not to mention that I once again have nothing to talk about. Oh well.
See ya tomorrow!

SOLD!
Hi,
How's it going out there WORLD?
Today was basic, nothing out of the ordinary. A friend told me about this site called Posterous and I've been considering moving my blog over, but I'm not positive yet. We'll see how that goes. That very same friend also sold me on an iPad. I really, really, really want to have one. I have a giant need right now for a Kindle and a new laptop, and the iPad is basically both of those things. I'll have to wait a while though because they are WAY out of my price range. I may have to just suck it up and skip out on the Kindle part and just get a laptop.
Who knows how it's going to go. My future and everything in it is so up in the air right now that I probably don't need to make any concrete plans.
Anyway, I'm going to watch Criminal Minds with Katelynn and probably mess around with Auto Tunes on iTunes. Awesome.
See ya tomorrow!

Spencer Carlos Donatello
Greetings,
Spencer Carlos Donatello died today. It was a very sad day for our entire family. I've known for a while that he was sick. It was very clear to me that his fins were rotting off and his water was looking quite disgusting. Last night Autumn and I decided that we should clean out his bowl to try and make him a little bit happier in his final days. So we got the bowl all cleaned out and lovely looking again and went to put him back into his little fishy sanctuary.
This is where is all went down hill. We scooped him out of the temporary bowl, and as soon as we did that he started flopping around....onto the floor. Of course Macie had to be standing right there and went INSANE. I some how managed to hold her back but as soon as SCD got a glimpse of The Moose, he stopped flopping. So panicking, I picked him up, fearing the worst. The shock of being out of water and nearly attacked my a giant land creature would surly send any fish into cardiac arrest. "NO! MOVE SPENCE MOVE!" we shouted, and to our surprise - he did! "SCD LIVES!" we chanted. I immediately threw him back into his newly cleaned and remodeled home. Not breathing sucks, even for a fish.
So there he was, back home, swimming, breathing. Alive.
At this point we think it's okay to go to sleep, rest peacefully, and wake up. We were right, mostly. Autumn wakes up - goes to feed her beloved SCD only to find him floating upside down. Glassy eyed and paler than Edward Cullen. So she runs downstairs and wakes me up to let me know that our year long friend has moved on to that ocean in the sky.
She walks back up the stairs, I lay in bed. "SHIT!" I think. *FACEPALM* It hits me. In my excitement to get the resurrected SCD back into his bowl after I was sure that he was dead for 15 seconds, I didn't temperature adjust him. I just flopped his little fishy ass right back into his bowl. I killed SCD, he passed on from this world because of fishy hypothermia, and not at all of his fin rotting ailment.
Of course, I didn't let Autumn know this. I calmly walked up the stairs saying a little prayer and sat next to his bowl. I stared at him, seeing. He stared at me, not seeing. It was all my fault.
Somehow through my guilt I managed to explain to Autumn that the fin rot must have finally gotten him. I think she took it well. After our talk I get up, grab the same kitchen ladle that we use to scoop our soup, and removed SCD from his bowl. Autumn and I then walked him to the bathroom, dripping dead fish water everywhere, and placed him gently into the Throne. Then we watched him float away. He was king of his bowl in life, and he is king of this bowl in death.
Never again will we get to see Macie with her wet doggy nose pressed up against his wet fishy bowl - playing. Never again will I find myself Googling a beta fish's memory span because I'm certain that he knows I'm the one who feeds him. Never again will I see him waiting for me each day to sit down next to him and watch him do tricks, even though everyone says his memory span is only 19 seconds long and he doesn't really know me. It's not true, he knew me, and I knew him.
Rest in peace Spencer Carlos Donatello. You were the most consistent friend I've ever had. If I forgot to feed you, you'd ALWAYS forgive me - 19 seconds later.

P.S - We're looking for a new tenet. Area holds about one gallon, comes with red and white stones, a fake plant, and a beautiful view of the fireplace. Only single fish need apply. Message for details.
Late
I am aware of my lateness. But at least I didn't forget. I actually didn't forget today I just got caught up and this is the first time I had a chance.
Today was pretty chill actually though, just busy and away from home chill. We got up and took Brad back to his house and swam for a while, until something monstrous stung me and I had to rip it's giant stinger out of my arm. I still have no idea what it was. After that we got out of the pool, went in and watched Valentine's Day and then went to Gram's and Aunt Kathy's house to eat dinner.
It was a pretty good time, Grams and I went through a bunch of her books and she gave me a lot of trashy romance novels, which I am pretty excited about. We also gushed over Fern Michael's. Don't be jealous, we're awesome.
After that Holly, Autumn and I went to the grocery store and then home and did some job searching and tested Holly's typing skillzzzz.
Good times, right now I am reading "Captivate" - I forget who writes it, but it's the second novel in the "Need" series. I dig it so far, pixies. Woot!
Anyway, I suppose I'm out. That's it for now, I will technically be back later today!
Peace!

Parties
Hiya!
I've gotta make this a quick one because I don't know what time I'll be home tonight. We're just waiting on Angie K to get here and then we're headed to a house warming party and then to a tattoo party. I don't believe anyone in our party is actually getting a tattoo but we're just going to support the host.
It should all be a good time. I feel sad for Katelynn being at work though because this means she can't join us on our adventures. Oh well, there will be plenty more for her to join us on.
Anyway! I hope everyone has a really good Saturday and stays safe!
See you all tomorrow!

Race to the Polls
Hiiiiiii hello!
Today I've mostly just been doing some research. The Michigan primaries are in a few weeks here and I still haven't decided who I'm willing to let be our new governor. Not only do I have to think about governors I have to think about county commissioners. Bill Emmerich has been knock, knockin' on my door along with Richard Deitering. I made the mistake of accidentally rolling my eyes at Emmerich last week. He stopped mid sentence and started rolling into facts about how he is a VERY liberal Republican.
It was hilarious. If I didn't know better I would have given him my vote for just that. Always the campaigner.
As of right now I am torn between Mike Cox and Virg Bernero. I'll probably end up going with Bernero though simply because he's the liberal out of the bunch. We'll see, I have a lot more to learn and several weeks to change my mind.
If anyone has two cents they want to throw my way about the governor race feel free to throw it my way!
Happy Friday everyone! See ya tomorrow!

Tatted Up
Hey, hey!
So, I was just looking through Twitter and E! tweeted something about Brody Jenner tattooing Avril Lavigne's name on his arm. I had read this a few days ago on Pink is the New Blog but didn't really think about it until now. Only difference is when I read it on PITNB there were ALSO photos of Brody's name on Avril's rib cage.
Listen, all I really need to say about this is WHAT THE FUCK?? Are they retarded? Sure, they think they love each other but how in love could they really be. Didn't Avril get divorced from Derek from Sum 41 like four hours ago or something? They can not possibly be that much in love that they know they're going to be together forever. WHAT is it with these damn reality stars being idiots. I'm pretty sure Nick Zano and Kristin Cavallari had each other's initials tattooed on their hands and where are they now? Well I don't know because they're pretty insignificant in Hollywood - but they are SURLY not dating anymore.
People, don't be fucking ridiculous. There is no such thing as people being made for each other. The chances are HIGH that you're going to eventually break up and then you'll be stuck with a shitty tattoo in the shape of a shitty name. Oh, and no I do not want to hear your pleas that you KNOW you're made to be with your current flame. I will laugh at you and probably make fun of you for many days. I don't believe in any of your relationships. Chances are your girlfriend is giving a trucker a blow job and your boyfriend is paying a hooker this very second. Give it up. Your relationship is NOT perfect.
So listen, just save yourself the money and the pain of a cover up or laser burn and JUST DON'T DO IT. Especially if you're a broke ass.
That's my two cents for the day. You better listen to it because I'm not going to feel sorry for you when you want me to take you to Kyle to see how well he'll be able to cover up "Chester" on your neck.
Stupid fucks,
Faith

GRRRR!
Hi,
Today was fine, for the most part. I wasn't feeling great at all so I slept a lot of the day.
Tonight I've been really, really aggravated and put out by something that happened. I don't really want to get into it but let me tell you I'm having a hard time moving past it, though I'm sure tomorrow sometime it'll happen.
Katelynn and I are back in the market for a roommate so if you or someone you know is looking for a place to live in Ypsilanti, just let us know.
I'm going to probably just go to sleep now so I guess I'll see you tomorrow.
I don't even care that this is like, four words long.
Peace,
Faith

Jail Bird
Yo!
Today has been filled with a WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.
I watched a bunch of TV and made a couple pizzas. That is basically all that happened. I didn't get the call for my new job that I was expecting which is irritating me pretty badly. I'm going to have to start looking else where if something doesn't happen with it soon. I can't wait around too much longer.
As for good things going on in the world - Lindsay Lohan is going to jail. She is such a freaking idiot that she couldn't handle not violating her probation restrictions. So the silly little bitch has to turn herself into the jail by July 20th to serve 90 days, and then 90 more days in an inpatient rehab center. SUCKS.
She needs it though, so hopefully it will straighten her out.
Aside from that good news, this is about all I've got today. SO, I suppose I'll see you tomorrow!

In Our Wheels
I've thought a lot today. Mostly because I had all the time in the world to do nothing but think.
One year ago yesterday was the last time my entire family was together. Everyone made it out to Dad's house and Kim made a monstrous meal. Unfortunately that was also the same day that Kim would leave her house forever. She started feeling horrible and went into the hospital. She stayed in there for the next 17 days and then passed away. I'm still not even sure how or why. I was completely taken off guard and I don't think it's something that I ever really let myself deal with. It was only almost two months to the day that my dad passed away too. I've spent so much time grieving over my loss of him that only now did I realize I never let myself grieve over Kimmy. She was there for me always, and I've just tucked her away.
It's not fair, but I know that life goes that way sometimes. I have so much grief that I just keep tucking away. I live my days on repeat and walk around like a zombie, ignoring people when they want to talk about their own feelings. I remember a time when I was the listener, the go to girl. Now I'm always just turning the other cheek on everyone's problems, including my own.
I've realized all of that today, and though I don't know if I'm quite ready to change my rotations and let myself feel everything that I will have to feel in due time, at least now I know. I am well of aware of the hurt that I'm hiding and I will cope with it, I just need to find a path. I've watched my family and friends cope with the loss of my dad and Kim and I know that their ways are not for me. Some of their ways are even unhealthy, but I suppose you could say that about any coping method.
I'm not sure. I'll find my way back.
I haven't been gone very long but it feels like a lifetime.

Happy Birthday America!
Hey!
It's been a pretty decent weekend. Last night Katelynn and I headed out to Tony and Denise's and hung out for the night. We did end up pitching the tent but we neither read ghost stories nor slept in the tent. We passed out in various spots in their house and woke up this morning to them arguing like an old married couple like they always do. It was enjoyable.
At about 12:30pm we headed over to Brad's. I drank a few beers with Chas and we ate lots of food and swam for days. Once it started to get dark and Chas' woman scooped him up, we went over to Katelynn's mom's house to get some clothes and such. Now we've finally made it home and we're probably just going to chill and read or something.
I hope everyone paid their deepest respects to this fine nation on it's 234th birthday. Obviously by that I just mean I hope you ate a lot of food, drank a lot of beer and acted like a fool. It's the American Way.
Happy Birthday America!

Will Grayson, Will Grayson
Hi hello!
Not much happening yet today but I want to get this out of the way before I leave. I'm not sure the exact plan yet but I do know that we're Monroe bound and that at some point we are pitching a tent in Denise and Tony's back yard and drinking. It should be a pretty fantastic time.
I am being a slacker though, so far today I've only managed to take a shower and paint my nails. I haven't eaten, gotten dressed, or even made my bed. Which is not good. I definitely need to get those things done before Katelynn gets home from work anyway.
In other news last night I managed to finish John Green and David Levithan's "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" and I LOVED it. I don't want to give too much away because my only reader is Katelynn and I think she is in the middle of reading it right now. She'll love it, I know. Seriously though, John is the coolest dude ever. I don't even know how his coolness is legal. It's ridiculous. I would love to meet him again, and his awesome brother Hank too, of course.
But, as for now I will settle with drinking beer and having a good 4th of July weekend. I'll be back here tomorrow night folks. See you then!

BIG Plans
HEYYYYYYYYY WHAT'S UP?!
It's Friday, and Katelynn and I are sitting on the wrap around reading books and listening to Criminal Mind. WE.ARE.AWESOME.
In our defense, Katelynn has to work at 7am tomorrow morning, and I will be drinking for the next two days straight, so I figured not drinking and relaxing tonight would be a good plan. Plus Criminal Minds is AWESOME.
Also, we were just down stairs looking through my books and I found a Webster's Pocket Quotation Dictionary. That made me pretty excited. I am obviously going to carry it around with me in my purse and randomly read people quotes while I'm in a drunken stupor. It should be good times.
As for tomorrow, Katelynn gets off work at 3pm so we'll probably get ready and head down to Monroe. We have plans to chill by Brad's pool for a little while and then head over to Tony and Denise's house. We plan on getting ridiculously wasted and pitching a tent in the back yard so we can read drunken ghost stories by flashlight. Don't be jealous.
I'll be back tomorrow before 3pm, as long as I really, really don't forget.
See ya,
Faith

Accio Deathly Hallows!
The only thing I am excited about today is HARRY POTTER.
Seriously, I've been listening to Wizard Rock and watching the Deathly Hallows trailer so much lately it's ridiculous. I AM STOKED.
I kind of feel badly for Katelynn having to even live with me right now. I've gotten into a bad habit of muting her TV shows and making her listen to random Wrock songs. I'm such a nice friend, but I have a feeling she is kind of over it hahaha. Awesome.
As for the rest of the day I'm considering drinking some beers since Autumn won't be here in the morning and simply because it's Thursday and that's when the weekend starts. Hello Journey to Alcoholism!!
Man, I guess that's all I've got for you. I'll be right back here in less than 24 hours. Don't be too excited, I'm sure it'll be half assed. That is unless there's some crazy world disaster. Which in this day and age, is highly likely.
Peace,
Faith
