Well hello....


I guess today's as good a day as any other to update this poor neglected xanga.


My summer's been pretty spectacular! I've been really busy. This summer I (forcefully) got a job to help pay for a car & gas & stuff. Too bad it's a job I can't get fired from. HaHa. I've been helpin out at my dad's work twice a week. Oh, it's just a swell time. Trust me. He manufactures printed circuit boards in electronic things. Don't know what they are? yeah.. join the club with about everyone else who's ever asked me where I'm working this summer. lol


I've also been attempting to weightlift. I'm sure you can imagine how that's going! Then I have competition squad practice every week at Arising Stars. HaHa.. that's a blast! & I have basketball open gyms & had basketball camp at Maryville last Thrsday & Friday. 4 games a day... another swell time.


Well, I've decided it's probably not a good idea to bore you with details on the rest of my summer, so here's a list of things I've learned so far:


1.) I'd die without Dr. Pepper.
2.) No matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise, you're out of shape. period.
3.) Don't try to swat away bees. Not a good idea.. They always have the upper hand. always.
4.) Arising Stars is hardcore.
5.) Don't listen to your brother when he tells you to move the car. You'll always end up getting made fun of in the end no matter what.
6.) After watching the movie Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, You'll go home with your heart set on becoming a true drifter. the steps? All you hafta do is jam to some sweet foreign songs about barracudas, talk trash to "Donkey Kong" the king, move to Tokyo, & develop a hick accent.
7.) Always put on your best innocent little girl act & suck up to you parents to try to get them to let you go to the Nickelback concert.. it IS close to your birthday after all!(haha.. tune in later to see if it actually works)
8.) It's not impressive to bench press the bar. (ah haha!)
9.) While at work, 10 hours of continuous play on an mp3 player is never enough.
10.) Inexperienced people with razor blades is not a good idea... including me..
11.) Those free little drink mixing recipe books at Quick Trip are useful if you ever want to know how to concoct a "Yellow Snow" or a "Who's Your Daddy?"
13.) If you want to look like curley sue, Lynn's your woman!
14.) Inbreds are everywhere.. watch out (ah haha! once again.. don't ask)
15.) Have fun.. it's summer!


more to come later!

Hello.


I honestly don't know why I'm typing in this thing. no one even reads it anyways. oh well.


so Guess what? School's Out! I'm really excited. I was getting pretty sick of it. ahhh. I'm so glad to be done with intro to business, you have no idea. grrr My teacher decided to be brilliant & gives us 3 days to write a gimongus business plan (worth 100 pts) & make a power point presentation over it (also 100 pts.) instead of giving us a final like normal classes. stressful? oh yes. you guessed it.


My Summer has been pretty grand so far.
Friday=great! pool party at Derek's.. amazing!
Saturday--hung out with Leah for her birthday. I'm so proud.. I watched "The Ring" for the first time ever. yeaaaah!
Today--party for my Grandpa's birthday, then went to Jason's for a party. heck yeslol.


&& maybe WOF and Great Wolf Lodge this week

Brooke..

A FEW PICS FROM THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL:
(sidenote: it's times like these that I sit & think real hard about why I don't have a Facebook. Then I get real mad for remembering.. Oh Yeah! it's only cuz of my own stubbornness)

--Madds-me-Al-&-Kase--<3


--Me & my twin, Derek!--


--My "ecstatic-to-be-out-of-Business" face!-- (seriously.. you think I'm joking?)




--Me & Kendra--


--Spencer, Ted, Sam, & Spence-- HaHa! aww yeah. Go John Glenn!


--a pretty sweet pic of our feet if I do say so myself--

 

AND THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS:
okay, so this isn't really a "moral", more of the mother of all ironies. Check this pic out of a car I saw at the district track meet in Excelsior last weekend.


in case you have terrible eyesight or just don't comprehend real well, that is a pic of gold-plated naked women around a license plate that translates to be "I Serve God" yeah...... that's exactly what I thought. some people....
