   2:22 am
why am i still up? i dont know but im really bored. im just playing runescape and listening to music. well it was 4th of july today. in the morning i was still at my grandmas house, then around 2pm we went to my moms bf's familys house. they had a really nice house, and alot of land and they lived on a lake. well we ate hamburgurs there. and i saw not one, but 2 deer. we went out onto the lake and i went swimmin with a few people, and this one kid let his floaty tube thing float far away, about 175 feet away, all the way to the shore of the lake. oh yea, i forgot to mention that we were on a boat in the lake. so i had to swim all the way over there and get it for him. i didnt mind, but i had to go through alot of seeweed closer to the shore, wich sucked becuase it felt like i was swimming through hair. it was so gross. but when i finnaly got back to the boat i was really tired out, lol. when i got to the boat, i swam a little bit more, then i went tubing. tubing is where u hold onto a floating thing tied to the back of a speed boat with a long rope. it was alot of fun! then we went in and just kinda hung out, untill we left. i had a pretty fun 4th of july, even tho i didnt really see any fireworks, lol. but im not complaining, i saw plenty on the 2nd of july, lol.

   France and new love
Hey everybody. im home from my trip to france and england ^_^. i went to a bunch of places, i went to nice, paris, monaco, eze, and london. The first day was the plane ride there. it was really long but the ride didnt bother me at all. then we landed and switched over to another plane to fly to nice (pronounced neice). Nice is in the south of france, and our hotel was right on the mediterranian. The rooms were kinda small, but thats ok. the first day all we did was ride the plane.then we got to the hotel, droped off our stuff, and went to get dinner. Later on at the hotel it was me, my roomate piar, and 2 of my friends, grace and ashley. i layed down on the bed and ashley was kinda playing with my hair. Then on the second day we went out with our tour group (wich was kids from my school) and saw the city. it was really cool. they had most of the shops and stuff in small beautiful allyways between the old buildings. then we ate dinner and had time to go off in smaller groups to explore the city more. after we went back to the hotel, we were kinda havin a party in grace and ashleys room. a bunch of people were in there. they decided that they were gonna go get some alchohal and get a little tipsy. i thought it was a dumb idea, but i guess its legal cuz the drinking age in france is 16 i herd. i didnt drink, and neither did ashley, but other then that the rest of the people did. after everybody else left the room it was like 4 am, so i just said i dont feel like goin to my room, so i slept in grace and ashley's room. The next day we went with the group and went to a small city called eze, where we went to see how they make perfum. it was kinda interesting. then we went to monaco, wich is like a really small country, thats near nice. its the richest country in the world. we went to this palace thing, and went to a cool cathedral. then we went back to nice for dinner. Then at night it happend to be the nice annual music festival. a whole lot of bands were playing in the streets and along the beach. it was really awesome! it was suprising how many bands were playing american songs. it was like a huge city wide party! the next day was a free day so we just wandered the city with our friends. me and ashley and grace and jessica and piar were walking and we ended up goin to this park called parc de chateau. it was were a castle used to be, but it was destroyed. there was alot of steps, and 2 cemitaries, and a park, and lots of stuff like that. the next day we took a train to paris, and the ride sucked cuz the train smelled like fish. it was really gross. in paris we checked into our room then went out to the city for an early dinner. while we were still in the hotel i asked ashley to be my girlfriend. im happy to say that she said yes ^_^ it turns out that she's had a crush on me since before summer vacation. shes really nice and funny and pretty. il show you a picture of her. On the way to dinner it started raining, and i forgot my umbrella in the hotel, but it was hot outside, so i wasnt complaining,lol. but it was done after dinner. then we had a boat ride down the seine river, then finnaly at night we went to the eiffle tower. I kissed Ashley at the top of the eiffle tower. it was really romantic. Im really happy that im going out with her, becuase for the first time in a while i dont feel lonley and depressed. Back in the hotel i slept with her in her room. now dont confuse my words here, we just slept, not fucked, just slept, get it right, lol. we ended up sleeping with each other for the rest of the trip, even though we wernt supposed to. shh, dont tell lol. The next day we saw the castle of Versallies, wich was amazing,went to the NotreDame catherdral, and went to the louvre museum. Versallies was huge, and every room was filled with marble floors, and huge paintings, and gold everywhere. its was the most beautiful and expensive building i have ever seen. if somebody would have told me to imagine the most extravagant and exquisit building i could imagine, it still wouldnt have measured up to Versallies. The louvre was cool, but we didnt have enough time to see everything. we did see the mona lisa, wich was really not all that exciting. i just dont see what makes it better then the rest of the paintings. the whole time we were in the louvre and in versallies me and ashley were holding hands. actually we were pretty much side by side the whole trip. the next day we took another train (but this one didnt smell bad) to london. in london we saw alot of places. the thing i remember most was picadilly circus, wich was not a circus at all but like the times square in america. we also went to convent garden, wich was another place like that. then after that we went to the first Hard Rock Cafe. on then next day we saw the changing of the guard at buckingham palace. we also saw the mellinium bridge. We went to the london tower, wich was one of my favorite things of the whole trip. its a big, mideval fortress. inside there was armor rooms, and alot of swords and spears and cannons. there were these two huge Claymors (swords) that had to be at least 7 or 8 feet long. after that we went to see big been and the parlimentary building. we took some pictures, then the teacher gave me quite the suprise. she gave me the map and told me that i had to lead the group home. we had to go on the subway and walk through the city. I was really nervous, becuase she said that nobody could help me, even if we were going the wrong way. i was afraid that i would get us all lost, but i did just fine and we all got back to the hotel safe ^_^. i didnt want to do it at the time, but now im glad that i did, so if im ever lost in a city like that i will know how to get us home. Ashley slept in my room, then in the morning we went to the airport to come back home. on the plane we were talking about how it was going to be kinda weird to sleep alone again, lol. There was this girl in our group that lost her ticket, and the teacher gave her her ticket, and the teacher stayed behind in london instead. The girl was crying becuase she was afraid she was going to be stuck in england while everybody else went home. but the teacher stayed and is going to get a flight home tommorow, and the girl will just have to pay for the plane ticket for the teacher to get home. This whole expereance is something that il never forget.


heres a pic of ashley. isnt she pretty?


this is a picture of the tour group in nice. u can see me, im near the middle with the long black hair


heres another picture of the group in nice, i dont think im in this one

busy day today, tomorow france.
hey, i just wanna say this one is kinda long, but it would mean alot if you went and read it.

yep, today was a busy, hectic, chaotic, and fun day. well today i woke up and anna, heather, and brooke called me, cuz we were supposed to hang out with ivan, but they never met him so they wanted me to call him. im leaving for france tommorow, so i had lots of packing to do. so i went and did the luandry and packed my clothes, but then we had to go to the store to get some last minuite stuff. then came home and did more laundry to get all my clothes packed, then i sat down with my mom and we talked about using the calling card in france, and how to use the visa and travelers checks(or is it spelled cheques?) by that time it was about 4 pm and i finnaly got to calling ivan. then ivan said he would meet us up at this place, so i went to anna's house to go get anna heather and brooke, and we started walking to the place were we were gonna meet. that took about a half hour to walk there, then we met ivan up there, and he only hung out for a half hour cuz his mom called him. so then me and anna and brooke and heather were walkin back to annas house. when we got to anna's heather had to leave, cuz she had to be home by 6 and she lives kinda far away. i only stayed like 10 minuites after heather left, cuz i needed to be home at 6 too, cuz im goin out to eat with my dad, since i wont be here for fathers day. so i went home and after a little bit my dad came and picked me up and we went to this steak house (wich was odd becuase all they had was ribs and hamburgers, no steak, lol) then i went back and now im typing this up. so in all i had a really busy but fun day.Im leaving for france and england tommorow. its gonna be an awesome trip. im gonna miss you guys alot tho, i wont be back untill the 28th. a few days ago i met this really awesome girl, her name is crystal and she plays guitar and is good lookin and likes all the same music as me. but shes from tennesee and was just visiting michigan, and shes leaving to go back to tennesee tommorow. im kinda sad cuz i might not ever see her again. maybe she will come back sometime. i found out that she likes me, and i think that we would have been a great couple, but im choosing not to try to go out with her becuase long distance relationships never work out. oh well i guess il just have to move on. Theres a few girls that like me, and i really care alot about all of them, wich makes it an increadibly hard decision. if i choose to go out with one of them, then i know that il hurt the other ones, and i cant stand to think about that. now im hearing all these rumors about another person that i still care about, and the bad decisions that this person is making. its like there ruining there life, and i wish i could talk to them about it, but i havent had the chance. i wish i could at least talk to this person so that i could find out if the rumors are just rumors, or if there true. I feel like my life has been so screwd up and upside down latley. i have so many things goin on in my head. im happy alot of the times, but im always hurting inside. im depressed even if i dont seem like it. i really am trying my best to be happy and get over this, but its so hard for me. there is just so much shit going on in my head right now. Im goin to europe tomorow, and it will be a memorie and experence that i will never forget, but right now all i can think about is everythign going on in my life, and i dont even feel excited. just confused and depressed. and kelley, if you read this, i want you to know that your not the only reason im depressed, but you are a big part of it. I know that everything will be better in time, one of my favorite songs, modest mouse, float on.. now it takes an important meaning to me. we'll all float on... everything will be better. but right now im listening to emo music and thinking. the used... my chemical romance.. underoath... and a bunch of other bands. i dont want any of u guys to get the wrong idea here, im not gonna do anything stupid, i promise. im just dealing with this as best as i can, and talking about this to you guys is really a huge help, you have no idea how much i appreacieat you listening. before i go i just wanna say il miss you guys. but especially a few close friends in real life. il miss you anna, heather, brooke, crystal, kirsten, dallas, derrick, valerie, and kelley...
well il talk to everybody later, probbably when i get back. maybe when i get back i wont be so dam depressed, at least i hope so, cuz this isnt who i am. i love you all.

   ok, now i get to tell u about my last day of school
ok, so yesterday was my last day of school. i didnt really make a real post cuz i was short on time, lol. well anyway this is what happend. i did my french exam, and i messed up pretty badly. the essay question said to write a paragraph on the diffrences between american and french culture, so i did. only thing is that i did it in french when it was supposed to be in english. since im only in basic french it wasnt a very good paragraph, lol. oh well at least i got a passing grade, not a good grade, but a passing grade, lol. then on the bus ride home my crazy friend mike opend up his window, and threw some garbage out the window, but in came back in the window behind him and hit anthony right in the face! it was so funny! then he took out a bottle of water and tossed it out too and it got everybody with open windows wet! that was maybe more funny, but its hard to tell, lol. then when he got off at his stop, he pulled down his pants and ran screaming home! that kid is so crazy, hes awesome! then when i got home i listend to schools out for summer by alice cooper, lol. then i went to toms house and we had tacos. then i got my scooter and he got his skates and my brother got his skates and we all rode all around the neighborhood. it was alot of fun. then i went home and i went to anna's (xosweetpunkox) house, and we went to church. after that i went to my friend seans house and he taught me some bass songs. oh yea, i signed up to be in the church band. they already had a guitarist (sean) so i said id play the bass. wich is a bit of a problem cuz i dont play bass, lol. but i can learn. i play guitar and iv heard that bass is almost the same. iv played a bass a bunch of times before and its no problem for me, as long as were not doing super hard stuff, lol. after sean showd me some bass songs, we lit off some firecrackers, lol. then we watched some rammstien music videos, there pretty awesome. and he taught me the bass line for one of their songs. i dont rembember what song tho, lol. then i stayed up till 2 am playing runescape, lol. thats about it really, il talk to u guys later

the fair
hey everybody. yesterday i went to this fair that was by my house. it was ok, i didnt even go on any ridses tho, cuz they only had 2 good ones, and i didnt feel like buying a ticket, lol. I went with my friend derick, and we hung out at the fair for a while. we were walking around to see what there was to do, and we went into this big tent thing and there was a band in there doing their sound check. so me and derrick waited like 45 min for them to finish their sound check (gosh, who takes 45 min for a sound check??? lol) then when they finaly started they played elvis and we were like"oh, thats dissapointing" so we went outside of the tent and were walkin around when i ran into my friend ryan. so all of us were hanging out, and we were getting hungary. it was 3 dollars to get a slice of pizza, so we said screw it. we walked all the way to the pizza store like to buy a 5$ pizza. When we were going there i was singing screemo songs at the top of my lungs. do u guys know the song b.y.o.b by system of a down? well when it first starts off the guy screems "why do they always send the poor" and i kept screeming that all day, lol. on the way to the pizza store, this ass hole on one of those little mini choppers tried to hit derrick. he drove past us at like 30 mph and was 6 inches from hitting derrick. then we got a pizza and were walkin back to the fair, when these 2 vans pulled up at somebodys house,and like 20 people in white clothes got out and went in. they looked like some kind of creepy cult cuz they were all wearing the same clothes. at the fair we went back to the tent to see if the band was playing any good music (wich they wernt) but we decided to dance anyway. it was funny cuz we were the only ones on the whole dance floor. after we were dancing some other people decided that they would dance to, so i guess that makes me a trend setter, lol. Me and derick and ryan and a few other people that we knew started a mosh pit to a country song, lol. then later this really old guy came out and was like break dancing or something like that. it was the most awesome thing i have ever seen. it was so awesome cuz this guy was like 80 and i never saw an 80 yr old dance like that, lol. We were head banging to some of the songs too, and today my neck is a little sore, lol. We stayed at the fair, mostly staying by the band, untill 11:30. then derick and ryan came to my house and spent the night. we stayed up till 4 am. so i guess u could say that i had a pretty good weekend. thats about all that happend. im at my dads house now typing this. talk to u later.

What is your favorite kind of music? (rock, rap, rock alternitive, j-pop, emo, death metal, classic rock, country, etc...) feel free to choose more then one.
