Those tiki candle stick things that are supposed to keep the bugs away..they suck. My aunt and uncle got a package of them and we set them all up and lit them..good thing I was wearing my hoodie..the bugs were not being very nice.
I got to ride a bus..it wasn't a short bus, though. It was a regular coach bus. Which reminds me, though..I got a shirt with a picture of a toilet on it with a party hat on top of it..underneath it says "party pooper".
Ron and me went to the fair when I got back to the Cape..it was demolition derby night. There were no big explosions or people screaming or blood or anything..so we weren't too impressed. We went to see a movie last night, but nothing was playing that we were either interested in or hadn't already seen. We went to Wal-Mart instead..and that kinda sucked, too. The Wal-Mart in Falmouth has to be on of the biggest suckiest Wal-Mart I've been to..it's not even a 24-hour one. We did make up for the wasted nights, though. We went to the airport at like 12:30 (that's like 30 minutes past midnight) because I needed to go early anyway. We weren't planning on getting there that early, but (unlike what usually happens) everything went as planned and we had absolutely no trouble getting there..(pause) I'm getting a little light headed now (unpause)..my flight didn't leave until 6 am. Soo..we just sat there waiting for things to happen, but nothing did..and we decided to just walk around the terminals for 3 hours. There was some crazy stuff in there..at least for 2 in the morning..and some really creepy people. There was this one walkway between terminals that had a bunch of rocking chairs just sitting there..and there was a Japanese home-making history in another one..and there was a children's science museum thing (where you go in and play with everything..it was actually one of just a couple places that was actually open). You had to be there..but it was awesome. So over the past 3 nights I have been majorly deprived of sleep. I managed to sleep between Boston and Dallas this morning for a few hours, but that's really the best I've been able to do. So, I think I'm going to crawl into my bed..wait..no...I'm going to put Planes, Trains, and Automobiles on, crawl into my bed, and get some reeeaally goooooood sleeeeeeeeeep...
7-12-2005 - Almost time to leave (kinda)..and I think I'm finished packing. I've opened and closed that suitcase so many friggin times..everything better be in there.
All American Rejects new album came out today..I bought that on my way home from my uncle's. I've been waiting for that one. And speaking of my uncle's..we definitely didn't get his garage done. We got about 3/4 of a roof on it..and that's where we were when I left this afternoon. We were putting plywood on when a nasty little storm came through and the wind was whipping around..and we decided it would be bad to try laying sheets of plywood on a roof at that point.
Ahh..I almost forgot..the trip to Alva. It was alright. Alva's a tiny tiny town..me and Doug thought we drove through it at one point. We saw a sign that said "Alva 2 miles" and we thought we'd gone like 5..but we saw nothing even resembling civilization. But, a few hill peaks later we could see a small settlement ahead. I felt bad because me and Sam had been talking about hanging out, but we spent all afternoon Doug's girlfriend and family..and Sam was having guy trouble so she was quite upset. She might be coming over here after I get home from my travels though. I went swimming, though..that was a thrill. There was nothing else to do in that town..and when swimming was mentioned me and Doug just looked at each other and cringed..but we said nothing. When we got there, we were in the water for like 20 mins when some girl got a bloody nose in the pool and they had to shut down to clean it. Then we were happy :)
I retested for math at OU yesterday..and I'm in calc now. And I can start physics my first semester..if my schedule will allow it. There is a tiny conflict with my naval science class. It'll be ok, though..cause I'm a optimist :)
My tummy is a little rumbly..the closer this trip comes the more nervous I get about it. I know why..but I don't know why I'm worried about it. There are still some people there who seeing them would turn my stomach for various reasons. I know I'll be fine..just put on a happy face, right?
Well..farewell for a little while. I shall return..and tell all..
7-9-2005 - Break time..I've been trying all afternoon to do something with my room..preferably clean and get rid of a bunch of crap. I've had some luck..I filled oen trash bag completely and have a second one half full. It's mostly random scraps of paper lying around..old clothes..books. I tried doing some packing, too...and that's just about done. So, now I can somewhat enjoy the rest of my weekend. I was talking to Sammie from Alva today..me and Doug are over there tomorrow to see her and some other people..finally. We've only been trying to do this for like 3 weeks..
I think I'm going back to OU on Monday..I'm not too sure, though. I need to talk to my dad and figure that out. I need to go before I leave Wednesday..
Anyway..food is waiting. I'll get some nourishment and get back to cleaning :)
7-8-2005 - Off to Enid for another fun-filled doctor trip. Joy o joy..
My glasses are getting fixed, though. For free too. We went to the eye people yesterday and the lady called Oakley and got them to send a free set of frames and she's just going to swap the lenses out. I think the warranty on them ran out in like December..but she pulled it all off. How sweet :)
So..Alva this weekend..Boston on Wednesday..Albany next weekend..lots of traveling to be done..
7-6-2005 - Well..at least my glasses waited until tonight to break. It still makes me mad..but oh well. I think I can still see enough to drive :) I'm not that blind. Just blind enough.
My ear is playing tricks on me, too. I went to do fireworks last night with some friends and someone threw a pop-it (one of those ones you throw on the ground and it goes boom) at me, and it hit me in the ear and popped. My ear was doing some serious ringing..on top of the constant barrade of black-cats going off. Anyway..
7-3-2005 - (2) Some more wonderful storms blowing through town. I'm extremely bored..which can be good or bad. i've been thinking about my earlier post. I tried talking about it, but it came out completely wrong. There were just a few things (a couple relationships included) that I let come in and take over where other relationships should have been. I wasn't cheating..but I took them too seriously and got into some..awkward situations because of it. I guess that's the best way to put it..I still don't feel any better about that..
(1) Is this where I come in and say I'm sorry? Where I apologize for everyone I've hurt, everything I've done, the things I've gotten myself into? Yes..I've gotten myself into a few things that..have caused me some trouble...things that are now coming out in the open, being uncovered. They have compromised relationships. Make what assumptions you will..all I can say here is that I have allowed myself to become too involved in some things, and that caused me to become less involved in the relationships that I thought were important. I've hurt myself, and I've hurt and disappointed other people in the process. I despise apologies...but I'm sorry..
7-1-2005 - So..it's been a busy few days. Things definitely haven't gone as smoothly as they could have. It's been interesting, needless to say. I'm sunburned once again..we finished pouring my uncle's new driveway today. I was supposed to go to Alva tomorrow with Doug, but holiday plans have prevailed and those plans have been set to next week. I'm exhausted..
My dad and me went to OU this week and I got enrolled. That was a little upsetting. I'm a little rusty with a few things..so I'm going back on Tuesday or Wednesday next week to take some placement tests. It's only been..what..2 years since I last did any of this? Once I'm all settled with my schedule, I should have around 18 credit hours my first semester. And I only have $400 not yet covered for school. That's out of the $6,200 that the Navy isn't paying for the year. I did get a new hat, though. Of course, it's an OU had :)
The trip for July is coming around..plans are being set in place. What plans I had earlier have changed..no trip to Horseheads :( I'm a little bummed about that one. But, everything (most everything, that is) is working out ok, though. I hope it comes soon..
