Well, well, well, looks like I haven't written in about a month so theres a lot of updating needed. What started all this business was my trip to Iowa. It was *such* a great trip, it really really was. It was soooo good to see my Dad and Doug I really miss them now but it was a blast while I was there. I met a ton of my brother's friends who are all very cool and we did some really awesome stuff. I could go on and list everything but I have the memories and you probably just don't give a damn. The point is it was a fantastic trip and I can't wait to go and see them again!

What of the Others. . .
7.16- my 16th birthday! woo!! I got lots of great stuff including money, a concert ticket, clothes, inside joke stuff (which is always great), and a GUITAR and lessons!! finally, hell yes!

7.20- first I went to a show at the chocolate schmooze. playing were a bunch of local bands and then a really good band from connecticut. . .i bought their cd. then i had to depart with emilio (one of my other halves) lastly but surely not leastly my cousin Meagan and three of her friends came (Melissa, Alison, and Tamara). They were all really cool with piercings, tattoos, the whole shi-bang haha.

7.22- wake up and start our journey to tampa where we go to busch gardens. we bought summer passes for only $10 more so hopefully we'll go up there again real soon. . warped? after busch gardens we venture on to st.pete where me and Abbs go to an amazing concert. it was sooo unbelieveably awesome. bands: reel big fish, goldfinger, zebrahead, homegrown, rx bandits. we ended up seeing some people we knew which was also cool. leave the show blistered and bruised with aching bellies and swollen throats. couldn't find any place to eat due to lack of car and direction. we ended up ordering dominos "727. . OGRE". ate the whole pizza in 5 min. flat and went on to have a burping contest, well, aren't we lady like?

This brings us up to date. Today we woke-up and tried to go back to Busch Gardens. It was pouring down rain and as doug would say "busch gardens + rain = teh suck". So, off to the Mosi Museum we go. Eventually left the museum with a cute shirt, a terrible image of a fat lady and her wedgie, and really gross icecream. The journey home wasn't too bad except for the ocassional outbursts credited to sam and serena. We made it home around 4 and I've been at home ever since. First eating crabs then spending time with my cousin (she leaves tomorrow) then hearing some terrible terrible terrible news that I really don't want to think about right now or I'll burst into tears again. And I believe thats all for now DANKEN.
