just thought you'd like to know

oh, yeah, bt-dubs, wimp.com is an AWESOME website. Seriously. It's like youtube except that there's almost no lame videos, they're all either educational in a way, just plain funny, or they make you go "what?!". So yeah, go there. New videos every day.

Back to youtube, search Very Mary Kate. Spoof on Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Hilarious. My favorites are about the cat.

yup that's pretty much it.

I am no longer hungry. I had a brownie.

That's what she said

oh hey there
I decided to do another post...after a few months. Oh well.
my summer has been crazy busy. Immediately after school was over, we left for Arcadia to be there for a week. I was up there with Blaire and Alli as usual, along with my new friend Elizabeth, Jon and Mark. We had a grand old time. They're my wolf pack. (yes, like from the Hangover)
anywho, long story short, Jon and I sorta maybe had a summer fling. That was interesting. And a good experience? Haha...uhm. Yes.
I say it like that because I really think that he's just a manwhore/a player because supposedly he had had a girlfriend, broke up with her in June, then was at camp, then at the end of August, had another relationship. Then I found out a couple of days ago that he was single again. That's what...three weeks, at the most. Who does that kind of thing?

So I've had my first stupid relationship of my life. And my first kiss. Yes. I know, shocking. Obviously, I won't tell you all about it. That would be weird. But I thought he was really nice to me, but who knows? I mean, he must have liked me, otherwise why would he kiss me? That's just stupid.

After that week, our youth group left for New Orleans for NYG (national youth gathering). We drove. For hours. For a whole day. Leaving at 7 in the morning.

We took two cars, one van and one jeep. I went with Mitch, Susie and Sam in the Jeep (clearly the best decision) and everyone else was in the van with Byron. The people that went were Elena, Adalie, me, Josh, Nick, Cam, Mitch, Byron, Susie, and Sam. So we drove till about 11 at night, stayed in a shady motel in Mississippi (someone had written on our door "Ghetto"), and watched Ferris Bueller on tv. Good memories. We left bright and early the next day, after discovering their "wide variety" of breakfast foods...take your pick from moldy bagels or cheap waffles. Yumm.

Again, we drove more and more...anyway, I won't describe it all, but eventually we got to New Orleans that day, checked in, etc...the actual Gathering started the next day. The whole thing was pretty much awesome. Oh, Jon and Mark went to NYG, too, so I got to see them.

After NYG, I went back to Arcadia, mostly just hangin' with Elizabeth and Chloe...then in August, I did In His Service (St. Luke's mission trip in Ypsi area). It's always super fun and we play lots of cut throat mafia late at night.

After that, we left for Arcadia again (I know, I know), I hung out with Chloe again, mostly and Madeline, and after a week, I worked in the kitchen for a week for end of season! yay! it was pretty much the best camp experience of my life. The kitchen is definitely the most fun. I got to be a server along with preparing the food, which everyone does. The only bad part was getting up at the crack of dawn. But I LOVE everyone on staff. They were great!

When I got back home, I basically had a week before school started again..which was the longest that I'd been home all summer. Told you I was busy. I mostly hung out with people as much as I could while I was still free and whatever...then I started school on August 30th. I like my classes so far. I have Bio, Math 169 and Photography 111. In my bio class, I know Rachel, Anna and Erika, and we help each other out and have fun, I'm glad I took that class with friends. In my math class, I only know Chris, but he's pretty much my bestie, and we have a great time...mostly passing notes about how easy the class is. It's like a review for algebra. Goodness. And I LOVE my photography class, of course. It's great, even though I don't know anyone. It's mostly awesome because you can rent out the nice cameras (Canon Rebels) from the school for free and basically the class is just learning how to use SLR cameras, which is great, because I had no idea how.

So...that's pretty much my life right now. My favorite shows are premiering this week for the fall season, which is always the best. These shows are : Community, The Office, Outsourced, and Saturday Night Live, all on NBC. Weird. I think I'll probably also watch Fringe (on FOX), the show that no one's ever heard of. I'm debating on whether or not I'll watch Glee. That show just got ridiculous, but I feel like I'll probably get pulled into it one way or another. You know what show I wish was still on tv? Arrested Development. That show is genius.

I have an 8 am bio lab tomorrow, so I have to get up extra early. Shoot me now.
But I don't have school on Thursday mornings or Fridays at all, so that's a huge bonus. I have a long weekend every week. It's great!

yeah so...bye

I'm hungry

I used to be love drunk

I'm SO BORED....
not a whole lot has happened this week...the most fun was on Tuesday, I went to the IT meeting at church, and I was planning on going to Top of the Park to see Princess Bride. After the IT meeting, James, Susie, Mitch and I just kind of hung out and none of us had had dinner, so we decided to go to Noodles & Co for dinner...it was fun :)
James and Susie are dating! woo!

Mitch didn't have a ride, so I took him back to our house because Kaitlyn was going, too and so was my mom, so my mom just drove us all in one car. We invited Susie, so she just met us there at like 9:30. Elena got there right before it started (at 10). Since we got there early, we had front-row seats in the chair section, and the blanket people were in front of us. Kaitlyn hadn't even seen Princess Bride yet, but she loved it. I've seen it a hundred times and I think it's a great movie. We ate popcorn and cotton candy and had a great time...but I didn't go to bed until 1 am :3

Consequently, Wednesday morning, I didn't hear my alarm go off, so I didn't wake up till 9, which is when my class starts. I got to school just before 10, and it wasn't too bad, because I got caught up and it wasn't that big of a deal. Yeah then I had school...blah and then at 7 was bible study at Byron's house. That was really fun. We split up into two groups, and I went in the basement with Rick, Alaine, Mac, Blake, Eliana, and Adalie. We pretty much just told stories and laughed the whole time (in between bible verses). After we had finished bible study, we usually walk over to Steak N' Shake. We started to, but then the tornado warning went off, so we had to head back into his basement until all the parents came. I left after some people had gone and the clouds had started to get really dark and the sky was starting to rumble and flash with lightening. I hate driving in storms, it freaks me out, so I was scare the whole way home, and then it started to pour. When I got home, I didn't really know what to do, so I just watched The Office in the dark living room, while the storm raged outside. I like thunderstorms...when I can watch them from inside. We lost power for about 30 seconds, but that was about it.

Thursday...I was planning on starting my paper for English class, but I didn't get to it, because the Contis came over, so I went swimming with them and Joel till lunchtime, and then Rachel came over, and we decided to do a photoshoot because...she has a cool camera, I guess. It was fun. Then at 2:30, I had to leave to get my haircut because I hadn't gotten it cut for about 5 months, and my hair grows really fast. It was starting to get boring and needed a trim, so I did that and also got layers. I like it a lot better now.

My parents and Joel left this morning for Chicago for the weekend, so once again, I'm alone. I had class this morning, then I was hungry so I went to McDonald's and got a cheeseburger, fries and their new frozen strawberry lemonade (<3) to go and ate at home while watching tv. Ah, to be free :)
After a while, I worked on my paper, which took about 20 minutes. It had to be an explanatory narrative essay, so like I had to explain how to do something by telling a story that's entertaining, so I told a story about giving Delilah a bath this one time...oh, memories...
and now I'm bored out of my brains

I have to wait until 5 to go to Kaitlyn's birthday party...but I still gotta pack. Apparently we're going mini-putting and watching movies and stuff and sleeping over. Tomorrow, I'm gonna go to IT and then...I don't really know, and then I'm spending the night at the Polk's house!!! :3
and we're gonna watch the Dark Knight and P.S. I love you and have a grand time. And maybe drink hot kool aid.

Ok that's all I have
Ciao

there's so much left of it, what am I gonna do with all this hot kool aid?!

This weekend was AMAZING. Seriously, it was so much fun :D
on friday after class, we (courtney, michael and my mom and I) left to go to Arcadia for the weekend. Also, Joel had been at 8th grade week, so we had to pick him up on Saturday. We brought Michael to surprise Joel.

So we drove up, stopped at Wendy's and got to the cottage at around 5pm. Courtney and I decided to go to Weihrman beach and take a walk because of the long drive and I took my camera. After our walk, we had dinner at the cottage and decided to go to the drive-in theater in Honor, Mich to see Toy Story 3. Man, is that an intense movie! It was really good. If you've never been to a drive-in theater, you should try to go. They're really fun.

After we got back, Courtney and I went up to the coach house, which is where we were staying and watched tv and old home videos of me up at the cottage till 2 in the morning. Ah, the 90's. Such style.

On saturday, we woke up at 10, or rather, we were yelled at to get up. We walked around for a while and had lunch. After that, we went to south bluff. It was really fun and we ran down and then walked all the way back on the shore back to camp. Usually, it takes about two hours, but somehow we got back in one. It got kind of cloudy and cold at the end, so maybe we just hurried. We got back at around four and took showers and decided to have lunch at the new restaurant that used to be the Apple. When we went in, it was very crowded and noisy. We were seated but didn't get a server for at least five minutes. I decided on a pulled pork sandwhich, courtney and joel had pizza, michael had chicken wings, and mom had a chicken burrito. All the food except for the pizza was "okay", but not great. My sandwhich tasted sorta funny and it wasn't even really pulled pork, just chunks of it.

After that, we played games and watched tv until Evan Park came and told my mom that he and Matt needed a place to stay for the night, so they stayed in the basement. When he left, he said that he and all the other teens were playing a big game of hide and seek, so Courtney and I joined him. We didn't know where to hide, so we just waited until the next round, but apparently everyone had already been playing for a while, so they decided to stop. It was a big group of kids, probably about 20 of them. I saw a lot of people that I hadn't seen for a while and had a good time.

When courtney and I got back, we watched some of Disturbia on tv. It was super creepy because Shia Lebeuf thinks that his neighbor is a murder and stuff and so he spies on him and also this other girl that he has a crush on with his binoculars and it's really weird...we didn't watch the whole movie.

uhh oh Sunday we woke up at around nine and went to church at ten...then we went to the park and went on the merry-go-round for a while and just hung out. A little bit after 11:30, the Emington's got to our cottage to be up for the day (they live like an hour and half away) so we had burgers and hot dogs and sloppy joe for lunch. Then we wen to camp and played tennis and four square and shuffle board and then decided to go swimming and play on the new island that camp has. Everyone was there...everyone being the Emington's - 1 : Josh, Stephanie, Sarah, Liza, and the Mr. and Mrs. Then Courtney, Michael, Joel and I. Most of us played in the water for a while by the island and played freeze tag and bulldog. Then we just sat and tanned for a while...or in our cases, burned, because we didn't wear sunscreen... :3
Theeeen it was like 4pm, so we had to leave at 5 to get home at a reasonable hour so we didn't have time for showers. On the way back, I was shaking my head the whole time, getting sand out :P
We watched Ocean's eleven on the little dvd players in the car and played games and whatnot. Then we stopped at KFC and had wonderful, fattening food. A large bucket of chicken wings and thieghs, (sp?!) a huge cup of pink lemonade, mashed potatoes, and corn.

Favorites quotes of the weekend....
I feel bad for anyone named Tina. Who's fat....and is...made out of...lard.

Any of the TWSS jokes of the weekend.

Brother. Please. Drink. My. Hot. Kool aid.

adios, amigos

17.6.10

this time, baby, I'll be bulletproof

I got sillybandz. Oh yeah. The outer space ones that glow in the dark. I found them at Hot Topic. I tried to look everywhere else today with Courtney for more but we didn't find any. We went to CVS, Walmart, and Hallmark. Sooooooo yeah.
Today was fun...I woke up at around 11 and then after a while went to Courtney's. I had stopped at the restaurant that work at, Asian Fuzion, and my boss gave me like 3 orders of potstickers (dumplings) and a crapload of fortune cookies. So we ate some and then went to all the different stores to try and find the dumb bracelets but we didn't, so we just got candy. Then we went to my house to go swimming, but Courtney didn't feel good but then she had some pepto bismol and felt better after a while, so we went swimming for a long time. It was pretty warm. We also played the penis game. After that, I took a bunch of pictures and stuff and we went inside and took a shower in our swimsuits in the basement shower, which is big. Then we made dinner (mac & cheese & hotdogs) and watched the office then played sims 2 and at 8:30 her mom came and picked her up.


Tomorrow I have geometry and then when I get home, Courtney and my mom and I are leaving for...(drumroll please) ARCADIA!!!! woohoo :D
We're really excited.
we're gonna watch movies and listen to music all the way up and take pictures. A lot of them.
hmmmmm so yeah I don't think I'll be updating over the weekend...but I'm finally working again on (next) Tuesday from 11 am.-2 pm (most likely) so you should come visit me. It's at Asian Fuzion...like across the street from Arbor land but further down. :D
their food is really good, too, if you like asian or thai food.

ciao,
Rach

Love addict

yeah I haven't written in a while. Not a lot has happened, I guess. I'm home alone because my mom and Joel left yesterday to go to Arcadia to drop him off for 8th grade week and my dad is on a trip. Also, I'm avoiding my homework.
I'm excited because my mom just told me that instead of going to Chicago this weekend, we're probably going to Arcadia :D whoop whoop
I wish I was done with school!!!

I bought more gobstoppers.

I slept at the Polk's house last night because I can't be alone at my house at night, I guess, so we watched Hairspray and Mr. Bean and stuff. It was fun :)

hmm...not a whole lot else is happening. I just want summer to start because it seems like it has for everyone else but me. Sometimes I hate being in college. But hey, it's free.

I'm drinking a lot of water to be "healthy".

I got a new book from the library. It's a mystery called "In the Woods" and I'll probably start to read it when I'm done with my hw.

Oh, on Friday, I went to Courtney's for a little while, and we played MASH with cards, and I played four times, and every time, I married Ike. He was not my choice, Courtney is just a poopface. She played too, and she married Ashton Kutcher or something. >:(

Oh, I forgot, on Saturday, I went to IT. :D
It was fun. Haha...
The theme was water so we had water balloon fights and stuff and I think our team won. Mitch and the rest of our team decided that our name was going to be the Space Ninja Turtles and Mitch would design and make the flag because he is an artist, of course ;) on the envelopes that the different team leaders get, it has the different seals or stickers or whatever of the different branches of the army, I guess, so we were the army because we were green, blue was air force (Ike and Elena), and yellow was the marine corps, I think. Anyway, the theme for the summer was the war room, so that's why we were the army and air force and stuff and we all wore dog tags.

One of the games that we played was making ice sculptures with ice cubes. Our team started to make a turtle, but it started to look like a platypus, so we took a big leaf from outside and used it as a beak, and then used one for a tale. It turned out pretty good, and Ike tried to get us disqualified because we had used something that wasn't ice, but Rick said that it was ok. >:)
We ended up winning because ours was the most creative.

At the end of the day, I don't remember who was winning overall, exactly, but I think it might have been yellow, green, blue or something.
It was a good day.

flat belly

I just read an article that was about how to get a flat belly. Drink 8 glasses of water a day, plus yogurt-based smoothies, don't drink fruit juices or pop or iced tea. Sounds pretty easy to me.
