My feet are cold.

That has nothing to do with what I'm blogging about.

I have completely neglected this blog.

I can't blame it on being busy. I haven't been busy. I haven't been up to anything. I have just been plain lazy!!!

So I have a few updates.

1: I am now a member of the Brain eclipse video collab channel on youtube. I am Saturday. Nobody has posted since I joined though. lol. I'm sure it's only temporary.

2: With the brain Eclipse crew, we have thoroughly discussed going to Infinitus 2010. Now for those of you who don't know Infinitus is a Harry Potter Conference. It will be held from July 15-18 at the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida. The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter is Universal Studios newest theme park, and it will be so awesome. I'm truly excited about going, and I'm even more excited about meeting the Brain Eclipse crew as we head down there together. :)

3: I have started writing video ideas. I have been wanting to get back into making vlogs, and music videos. A lot of ideas have been storming into my brain, and I just need to get them out. I'll post the videos up once they are uploaded.

I have applied to three jobs; Pizza Hut, Staples, and CVS. In a week, I'm going to start calling them and asking how my application is going. I really need a job.

My brother told me that our friend, Alan, is looking for another job. He currently works at the movie theater with my brother. Now I know this sounds mean, but I hope he finds another job. If he gets another job, then he's going to quit the Theater job, and Eric is going to ask the manager to interview me for a job there. Now as much as I don't want to work with my brother (And since he is management, he'll be over what I do), I really need a job. I need something that pays, and if that means getting orders from my brother then so be it.

I need a car. For two reasons. One, I'm tired of having to ask my mother and other people for a ride places, and two because I need to go visit my friends.
Most of my friends are in college, and I want to be able to go visit them. I have a few friends (Thanks to Awanita) that don't live anywhere near me. I need to be able to go visit them on a weekend or something.
I want to be able to drive when I need to when Cassen and I go on that road trip that we want to go on soon. Let's face it I don't want my brother having to drive the entire time!!!

I've been obsessed with Doctor Who and reading lately. I really don't need to give an explanation on either one of those because they are both freaking awesome!!!

That's pretty much it.

Hopefully the next time you see a blog from me, it will include a video from me. :)

DFTBA

P.S. I forgot to mention that I've been dating Casey for two months now!!! I'm excited. I've never been in a relationship for that long before. It's weird for me.

So life after Awanita is...

BORING!!!

Going straight from working everyday to doing nothing everyday is not fun. Though I have been hanging out with Casey alot.

Last Thursday I went with Kathryn to the Easley Band camp, and I thought it was awesome!!! They have come along really well, and I'm excited to go to the competitions!!!

There is another reason why I'm excited to go to the competitions.

Back at Workcrew weekend I met a girl named Mary Ogle. We didn't talk much then, but she came up this summer to volunteer for a week.

We became really great friends!!! We have a lot in common. She's in the Wren Marching band so I told her that I would yell at her if I ever was at the same competition as her.

That is going to be extremely awkward though. Considering that Wren and Easley are major rivals. I don't know. It will be weird being in the Easley Crowd and cheering for someone in Wren!!! lol.

I Don't care!!! I'll do it anyway!!!


Also someone I can't wait to go visit! My Twin!!!

Briana Riley



I don't know when I'll get to visit her, but if she hears of a show that I might be interested in, I will definitely try and go with her.

anyways.

I got to Hang out with Casey yesterday and it was great!!!

I met his dad, and we saw G.I.Joe. Then we took his dad home which was like a 45 minutes to and 45 minuets from Anderson. Then we dropped by Best Buy where I bought Garden State, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles box set. Casey wanted to show me this comic book store called Planet Comics. It was great!!!

Casey was dumb enough to show me that they had Doctor Who books. lol. So I splurged and bought two of them. lol. Then we headed to my house. I feel sorry for Casey because he's pretty much been on the road all day.

He called me at about 9:30 in the morning. Got to my house at about 10 ish. Then we headed out at 11:30 and we didn't get back to my house till about 6:30.

We watched Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and half of the Reel Big Fish DVD that I got in the mail, and he headed home at about 9.

So yeah yesterday was a fantastic day just because I got to be with Casey!!! I like him a lot!!!

Anyway

Bama(Rebecca) posted a picture on Facebook that I've been wanting for a while now!!!



Yeah I missed all three of them all summer!!! I wish they were apart of the summer staff this year.

I'm gonna go. I am going to be making a video of my summer, so be looking out for it!!!

Much love

Home From Awanita....

And it is kind of bittersweet.

Yeah many bad things happened, but the friendships I made will last a life time.


I am fortunate to have met everyone I did. They have helped me through the bad that have happened. I learn who I could trust and couldn't trust, and I learned that first impressions can be false impressions. My first impression of one girl however did not change, and to be quite honest if I never saw her again I'd be the happiest person ever!!!



I want to give a shout out to everyone of the summer staff.

You all have meant so much to me and I thank you so much for helping me when I couldn't quite take care of myself. You all are like family to me, and I will keep a piece of each of you in my heart!!!

I also would like to say thanks to all the volunteers that have come up. You all are awesome. If it wasn't for the camp allowing volunteers to come up I probably would be single right now. lol. I would post a picture of myself and Casey, but I haven't gotten one yet. He has two on his phone, but I have yet to take any.

This summer was not like last summer, but it was a different summer, and I'm grateful for the experience.

Just for future reference, if you ever go to Awanita and you want to go down the water slide, cross your feet so that you can avoid breaking your fibula bone like I did. Yes it ended up being a fracture and not a jammed ankle.

Whatever. I stuck it out working there, and it was well worth it. I'm not a quitter.

Anyways Just letting you know that I'm back and that I should be popping out blogs a lot more than I have been doing.

peace out

and like the watermelon rind says

Don't Forget To Be Awesome!!!


~Alicia~

I jammed my ankle

going down the water slide...

It hurts, but I'll live.


I love it when I tell them how I jammed it. I get asked either "Did you hit something going down it?", or "did you go down it the right way?"

I went down it like you should... except I forgot to cross my legs, and that causes all the pressure to go into your heel. I didn't do it so my right foot went a weird way once I hit the water.

Now I can't walk on it. I can barely move it, and it hurts when I make any sudden movements.

This summer has had one bad omen after the other for me.

Cracked my zune screen
So much unnecessary girl drama in our room
Steven singing the Helen Keller song...(Actually that's pretty hilarious!!!)
Having to work in the Kitchen ever other two weeks for two weeks when I specifically signed for ropes and grounds...
My breakdown last Sunday
my ankle
having my laundry come back damp the past few times.

I'm having fun don't get me wrong, but it is definitely not last year.

In good news, everyone got Sunday off. The camp that is there right now is leaving before breakfast, and it's only like 50 campers, so they gave us the whole day off!!!

I Was excited!!!

I've got to go. My mom is going to go pick up Eric, who every time I've been home has been really nice and generous...It's weird.

Oh and speaking of brothers. I want to give a shout out to my bro Cassen up at the camp. He is just so awesome, and I love him like a brother. He is all that and a bag of chips. He helped me get from the dining hall to Angie's van which was far away...For someone on a crutch. He gave me a piggy back ride. I was scared, but he was actually able to hold my weight, and he didn't falter. He's awesome!!!

Oh and BAMA'S COMING TOMORROW!!!!! WOOT! WOOT!


Peace out.

DFTBA
And pray for me the rest of the time I'm at camp.
I'll try and keep my blog posted when I get to come home.

So today's my day off.

I'm really excited about that!!!

This might have been one of the only times I would have been able to come home.

Oh muy goodness. It has been so stressfull so far, and it's only been a week!!!

I'm already bumping heads with one of the girls. Oh she is so annoying. She reminds me of Keri-ann, a girl that work there last year. I was this close from smacking her, so I was really glad she wasn't able to come this year (thankgoodness for age limits!!!). This new girl is Keri-ann all over again, and I don't think that I'll be able to restrain myself from smacking her if she ends up pushing the wrong button.

Other than that the other people are great. A few of them are whiney. Cassen's back this year, and I don't know what I'd do without him. He's my bro!!!

I am close friends with three girls this summer, so that is a change from last year. It's mostly new girls vs. vet girls. lol. I find it kind of funny.

I had to teach ropes course. My mind is too spastic to be teaching people. I remember to tell people things like a few days after I teach the stuff. It's bad. lol. I finally got my first group yesterday, so that made me happy. Last week I had to go through and sort of supervise the new people. It was weird for me.

I'm just hoping that the stress will pass with this big 500 camp coming Thursday.

And here I was looking so forward to going to Awanita, and I'm already wanting to leave whenever I get the chance.

It's probably because Matt and Bama aren't there. :( It makes me sad. But I'll have to make the most of the situation as much as I can. I have a few people there I can talk to, but nobody I can fully trust except Cassen now.

I dye a few streaks of blue in my hair. But it's fading really fast so pretty soon, I'll have blond, and I don't like blond. Next Walmart run we make, I'm getting purple, that way when it fades it doesn't look like a different color all together. People keep asking if it's green in my hair, but it's blue. haha

Well I'm gonna go rest up, or visit Kathryn. Whichever.

Peace out!!!
