Divorce is a nasty, ugly thing. I hope it never touches my life in a first person situation. I may be heinous, but I am not strong enough to take something like that. For a cynical, seemingly bitter person, I am undoubtedly a hopeless romantic. Oh well.

Try the sparkly sunday at Denny's on the new Hillary Duff inspired menu. And then jab out her little blue cardboard eyes. Mmmm... sparkles, ice cream, and violence... who could ask for more?

I heart the apartment. And that is all. I hope this works out.

Um, so... the fourth of July is coming up. I find it suprising that there is not much pre-celebratory stuff going on. I just realized this weekend that it was even coming up. You'd think with troops all over the place, people would be a little patriotic. Maybe I'm just not paying much attention.

If I could do anything without limits, would I? Or would I be content with what I have now? These questions are running through my head. Trying to make schooling decisions. Trying to make life decisions. It's not easy being green.

An old man told me today that I was so pretty my dad would have to lock me away when I was old enough to date. First of all, never trust an elderly man's compliment on his way in to get his eyes examined. Secondly, it's funny how people always assume I can still order from the kids menu.

Things to do this week:
finish moving out (bed, computer tower, couch, loveseat)
drop off keys
drop off lease applications
show dad apartment
mow
office dinner at Log Inn
meet Justin's family
4th of July family and friend festivities
watch fireworks
enjoy my personal freedoms

Celebrities should keep their political opinions to themselves. Just because you're famous and lots of people listen to you doesn't mean what you have to say is actually worth hearing. Don't abuse your position. Numbskulls.

Rad, Not Rad:
Hurrah for aparment looking today. Rad.
Curse you uterus and your evil ways. Not rad.
Hurrah for 4th of July weekend. Rad.
Curse you little children who will splash me in the pool. Not rad.
Hurrah for two free couches. Rad.
Curse you stinky blue house. Not rad.
Hurrah for another interview at the Mug. Rad.
Curse you hair that I can't afford to cut or dye. Not rad.
Hurrah for sprunch spray so no one can tell I haven't cut or dyed my hair. Rad.

I love the way the scent of people gets stuck in your hair and on your skin and your clothes. That way you don't have to miss them for awhile. At least until you take a shower.
Mess.

I did not go to work this morning. This is one huge bonus of working for my dad. However, it is also teaching me that I can be irresponsible and uncommitted and get away with it. BAD. Perhaps this is why I failed my English course. Hmmm... let's ponder this one. I will be taking that over again the last summer session, and that ugly letter will be wiped away from my transcripts forever.

Living at home is getting easier. As long as I remember to wash my dishes and hang my towel up, I should be golden. I even spent Friday night with my mail reading mother and had fun. This is momentous. She bought me a swimsuit at Hot Topic just to be nice and then watched me have a shopping spree in Walmart. I got some good stuff really cheap. I paid. I am suprised I got her in Hot Topic at all. She does not understand my obsession with that store, and generally acts like she doesn't approve. However, this purchase says otherwise. Perhaps she realizes it is not a phase? I really am one of "those kids." Hmmm.

Quotes of the weekend:
"I've never seen so many depressed kids having fun."
"Why is it you never say anything except to make fun of everyone's shortcomings?"
"Come on. Hit me again!"
"Where are my pants?"
"I didn't know Nickleback was playing here."
"So I started yelling, and then I realized I was in the middle of a movie theatre."
"Oh! Your shirt says primpin... I thought it said pimpin and then I was like, there's no m in pimpin. Wait... yes there is. Nevermind."

I feel really bad. These guys came here selling things for their baseball team, and I told them I didn't have any money. They didn't believe that I don't have a dollar. Rightfully so. I have a twenty in my pocket, but I of all people do not need to waste money OR eat chocolate. I told them to come back Wednesday and ask my parents to buy crap.

I have lost 3/10 of my goal. That's weight, numbskulls. Almost halfway there. I was hoping to lose it all by the 4th, but I don't see that happening in 6 days. It just took my body a while to decide it wanted to cooperate with me. Ah well. Maybe by Justin's birthday I can be looking all svelt. That would be rad.

People do not say numbskull, svelt, or rad enough.

The end.

"what would be the best is if he was thrown into a womans defense course and got the crap kicked out of him all day long while they screamed NO MEANS NO"
(yet another reason why Max deserves the purple haired girl of his dreams)

Clearly aimed insult #2: Greeting me in different variations of "hello" does not make me hate you any less. I know you can't believe this, but there is a girl on this planet that wants nothing to do with you. I hope you get exactly what you deserve.

Day one of living at home: My mother read my mail. I did not say anything but instead silently wished to gouge her eyes out for snooping. Again. If she doesn't want problems between us, perhaps she should not create them.

This is not going to work.

Clearly aimed insult: If by "hey" and "howdy" you mean "die scumb of the earth," then hey to you too, bastard!

I'm not blind anymore. I see everything. And I see what I have is priceless.

Justin = wonderful

Thanks mucho to Burgdorf for fixing the blog!

I would like to say:

insulting people on your band's discussion forum is not a way to earn fans(take note www.alwaystomorrow.com). I love Dan, but if this continues, I will wear a "fuck AT" shirt to the Rev show tonight.

stealing a little girl's icee is not nice.

punk is not pop-culture. It is anti-pop-culture. I'll let you see my sociology notes if you have any doubts or talk to your local Rastafarian.

You know you're a pack rat if you can't clean your room without bawling hysterically.

I heart me some Amy Lee... I think I should just call Ben Moody and be like, "hey, yo... I want to be the next Amy... except I won't date you... because I already have a guitarist." Yes... I am on drugs. No, not really. Now you're confused aren't you? Good... welcome to my world.

Things to do today: clean room, clean car, wash car... um... work out... um... watch Full House... wow... being home is eventful.

If I don't answer my phone, it's because I only have one thingy of power left and I'm keeping it on for parental emergencies only... um... so I'll go get my charger tomorrow I think... and then I can be your friend again.

Max and Natalie- I'm sorry for your name pains... if only your last name sounded like a sneeze... then you could find yourself... no problems. :) I still love you both.

Hoo and rah... I just cleaned all of the house except for my room, Eric's, outside, and the basement. How rewarding. And we're talking sweeping, dusting, vaccuming... the works. I rock. I should go mow, but honestly, I'd rather do it tomorrow. Which is the same thing I said yesterday. I'll do it eventually. Okay... I'll do it after I post this. Damn conscience.

Ronald Regan died. This saddens me. I was born on his birthday, and I have a letter from him and everything. Awwww...

Gotta go mow. I think my little angel beat up my little devil and stuffed him in a locker or something. CURSE YOU AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE <-- for Melissa.

Today's suggestion: Walk her out when you part for the night. Even if she's a mean girl and falls asleep while you're over and then doesn't walk you out... :) She really does feel bad when that happens... I swear. Anyway... it's a nice thing to do.

After a rather rude comment about bossing my boyfriend around via blog (I won't mention from whom), I should clarify the "today's suggestion" portion. These are meant to be helpful, cheap, simple ways to keep all you guys on your woman's good side. So don't criticize, or they're goners. These are not critiques of my significant other. I am already fortunate enough to have an incredible boyfriend who does this stuff without prompting(mine... back off gals). These suggestions are inspired by little things he says or does that make my day brighter. I jot it down, share it with you folks, and pass on the joy to others. Sometimes the suggestions come from things my girl friends comment on, as you will see with the Hennifer entry. I know it's public domain and people can think what they want...blah, blah, blah. I'm just trying to be helpful, so don't bitch. By now you should know I'm going to say whatever I want here or anywhere.
And remember: it's easy to go into a store and buy flowers to win a girl over. It means much more to show someone you care every single day they're in your life.

Today's suggestion: Don't bitch and moan when someone is trying to do something nice for you.

Here's the deal with this Saturday's party... it will be at one of the guys' houses and I don't give very good directions. THEREFORE, if you want to go, show up at my house at 8:00. If you need directions call me. I will wait for latecomers until 8:30. At 8:30 we will caravan to the partizzle. The only reason we would wait any later than 8:30 is if someone calls and says they'll be there in a few minutes. That's fine... we'll watch VH1 until everyone's there. No call, no wait. Simple. YAY! Now... have a nice Friday.

When people you used to play house with start getting married, a strange blend of thoughts begins to occur to you

1) you are getting old
2) they are extremely young...

now, I've not quite figured this out yet. It seems like they would cancel out each other... leaving you as... nothing? Who knows.

Today's suggestion: After reading my dearest Hennifer's blog, I felt it necessary to put this down. Most guys are not idiots but just in case. Never mention weight gain to a girl. Just don't. It'll get ugly and you'll be punished severely. Maybe not right away... but someday, somehow her pent up anger will be unleashed. And that will be the end of you. If she asks YOU about her weight... she is an idiot and deserves to be hit with large, blunt objects. Be honest. The wench asked. But if you want to keep her around (I don't know why you'd want to keep a wench around... BUT if you do...), tell her she always looks great to you. Also, when attempting to compliment her(which you should definitely do every now and then), don't use neutral words like: different, ok, nice(this seems too impersonal). Good is acceptable. Good is definitely positive and isn't too overwhelming if you just met this girl or want to be low key about how much you adore her.

Contrary to my previous belief, I am NOT dying. A full 24 hours after the no caffeine, no sugar declaration, I feel soooo much better. So... this may be a permanent change. Perhaps I can't act and eat like a 12 year old anymore. CURSES. I'm still impossibly cute though... and humble(haha... Max).

Um... party this Saturday. Give me a call for details. This one is NOT at my house, so don't go all driving to Mt. Vizzle for no reason. It's a Paradigum partay... can ya digum? OH... and they're playing a show at Hammerheads July 10. So go if you're 21, and if you're not... purchase a fake :)

My stomach still hurts... this is getting really old. I am cutting caffeine and sugary stuff out of my diet in hopes to stop this madness. So don't offer me any candy, because I'm not getting in your scary white van.

Weird work happenings:
The ladies I work with are 30ish, 40ish, and 50ish (at Dad's...not Chuck's). Today they were joking around about lube. Talk about awkward moments.

I will be cleaning like a mad woman tonizzle for Ash's suprise birthday party. WHOO!

Today's suggestion: Put up with her pouting sometimes. Sometimes a gal needs to pout. Don't let her abuse the priveldge, but play along every now and then. Who knows... it may cheer her up enough that she might cut it the heck out. Yah, we know it's annoying. That's why we think it's so cute when you tolerate it. Awwwwwww... good boys. Now go out into the world and share the joy.
