Blarg to the tenth degree.

I am in the mood to blog today so I decided I would.

I have been in such a weird mood today.

It's one of mood's where you're happy, but then you're in a state of panic, and then back to happy.

I guess I am just so worried about finding a job, and moving on with my life that is putting in the state of panic. It's one of the weirdest feelings I've ever had.

You know what is awesome? Japanese pop music. I have been listening to it for the past two weeks. It all stems from watching Human Tetris (The Japanese game show where the people have to try and fit through a hole in the wall, or get pushed off the platform into water). In the related videos box, it had a video that caught my interest. It was a Japanese fitness video with the catchiest J-pop song. After that one was finished, I went looking for more. I found something that made me so happy and so sad at the same time.

This video is the dance routine to the song Renai Revolution 21. It may seem trivial to you, but I've been listening to that song since tenth grade. I never knew the name to it, and I had no idea who sung it. My friend Sophia gave me a cd with the song on it. She was a foreign exchange student from Korea. Every time I hear the song I think of her, and how great of a friend she was. It just made my week.

I went to Awanita this weekend. Cassen, Steven, Tim, Ashley, and Alex were there. Tiffany came up Saturday, and so did Lauren and a guy named Ian. Ian was sort of annoying, but I didn't let that damper my happiness. It was a beautiful weekend. It wasn't rainy for once! Don't get me wrong I love the rain, but when I want to be outside, I'd prefer that it is sunny.





I got some pretty good shots this weekend.

I also film a bunch, and will be making a video of that soon.

*(For a side note I just tried to spell soon soong. haha)*

Anyway, Yesterday I was watching "The Women" with my mom, and I got inspiration from that movie.
There is one scene where Meg Ryan's Character tries to find herself, and she goes around and takes photo's of random things. I want to do that!!! So when I get a chance, I'm going to go around downtown Easley (At Least to Start off), and photography random things. I'm also going to film things as well. Yay for Inspiration!!!

Well I'm going to to get ready for church. I haven't been to church in two weeks. I need to learn to call people and tell them I'm going to be gone or something lol.

I am a Fag Hag...

...It's true.

I'm also watching Margaret Cho. lol.

So I told you in my last blog that I'd post my first video from my new youtube channel.



I've been coming up with many ideas for videos. I'm excited for what's to come.

I have also been applying to jobs like crazy. This week Applebee's and Bi-lo.

I need to call Staples, CVS, and Pizza Hut to see if they received my application, and have processed it.

Tomorrow might be the BHP marching Competition. The time is pending because of chance of rain, so I have no idea when it starts or even if they are going to have it. I really hope it doesn't rain.

I'm thinking about applying for Tri County for fall of 2010, or spring 2011 since they are building a Campus in Easley. It's a good step for me in furthering my education. I just really hope they have a photography class, or some type of graphics media.

Anyway. That's pretty much it.

I never have anything to say any more.

HA BISKY!!!

Best Wishes!

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.

Cassen




Tiffany


Kristen


Steven


Sydney


Noah


Jeanette


Black Zack


White Zack


Elizabeth


Katelyn

Kasey


Brandon


Josh


Colby


and Josiah



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!!!
