--- ahh good ol JennyG, I miss our Bruster's trips. Korea has a 13 hour time difference and it was a 16 hour plane ride... dang.

I realized tonight how uniquely fun my friends are. Sitting in the Cocoa Grill at 11pm Chris and Tom broke out in a capella (sp?) versions of songs that should just not be done like that, but surprisingly it sounded great... one sang while one did back up and insturments with their voice (while the whole restaurant looked at us). Went to the state capital and watched fireworks from the roof of an office building so they were RIGHT there! Pretty spectacular. I think I smiled twice tonight tho... ugh. I just... couldn't. I know it is out of love, but my parents really aren't helping me right now... keeping me home the rest of this week so I can't be with my friends is just like... taking away any happiness I might have been able to salvage. It just lasts one week, figure it out and understand. Being a parent is hard but being a kid is hard too.

You're still the one...

"... maybe I'm just a girl, standing infront of a boy, asking him to love her."

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all
- 'when u say nothing at all' ronan keatin

You've got a way with words
You get me smiling even when it hurts
There's no way to measure what your love is worth
I can't believe the way you get through to me
-'u've got a way with me' shania twain

--- Work was hot n sticky. Watch some fireworks in the state capital Harrisburg tonight perhaps. Also want to see Spiderman 2 and The Notebook. My mom said that I shouldn't need any time to recover from my root canal which is good since my parents are going to VA fri night -sunday afternoon, leaving the house to me woohoo! partyyy! hehe just kidding. So that means I can work and possibly engage in a road trip... hmph. I desperately need a haircut asap. I got my dorm assignment and so far I have NO room mate! I can't decide if I am happy about this or not. Having a room mate sort of guarentees someone to be pals with for a lil bit when u know no one. I figure everything will work out as it should. I try not to think about college too much actually... even tho I am eager to go, there is much to settle here first, and gah I will miss some people. Anywho... thinking about taking a nap since it is ghastly hot outside and my mom refuses to put on the AC. She's "saving money". feel free to drop me a line today.

The Lake house: Got there, hopped into the water which was sort of gross at first with the plants growing on the bottom, but after finding a tube to lay in it was a-ok. Then we went out on the boat to get ppl to water ski. It was fun just riding and hitting waves in the boat, caused a lil motion sickness. Took a nap inside when we got back bc I wasn't feeling too great. Got woken up by Chris to see if I needed anything, so I joined everyone with some bullshit and poker before dinner. Ate a good dinner, sat around and as other ppl went into the water played some solitair. There aren't too many things to do with a deck of cards when u are by urself. Then the fireworks came! They were pretty decent, and Tom's mom, court and I sat there talking about how cool it would be to either: have fireworks at ur wedding (or a band stand up in the asiles like in 'Love actually'), get proposed to with fireworks, or have them at ur 25 or 50 wedding anniversary. hehe. Silly girl talk was all but it was fun. "oooh I like THAT one!"... 2 min later... "no, THAT one is my favorite" I remember I used to be afraid of fireworks bc of the noise, but now I love them. So after those were done, we went inside, had an ice cream sandwhich and headed out into the crazy traffic standstill leading out of the lake community. Got home around 11:30 and I fell immediately on my pillow which was replaced on the living room couch since my rents' friends were sleeping in my room again. The phone calls def helped keep my 15 % ill feelings at a stand down and my 85% goodness striving, *wink* thanks bud. This morning I tried eating a waffel since I have not eaten one in prolly 12 years. Now off to work and I am tiiiiiiired. *sigh* Happy Fourth of July everyone!

I love my friends... the orange juice and ginger ale saved me many times, the milk shakes made me feel loved, and the company (even tho I started to fall alseep on u) was much enjoyed. thanks kiddos. No more vicodin for this girl *adds to previously non existant allergy list*

Could this be a normal day? I sure hope so. work, festivities, friend's parents sleeping in my bed... *sigh*

*hands on hips* (jk) Give me a call when u have a free moment cuz I prolly won't be online tonight. Hope ur having fun!

Look at the time stamp... yep for the next ohhhhh... I dunno... 10 freakin days I will be waking up at 3:30am to take an antibiotic and then have to stay awake for 30 minutes before I can go back to bed! Talk about lack of sleep... ugh and I just remembered I am supoosed to take this on a full stomach... I guess this feeling of "just about to throw up my guts" is why... shiiiiiiiiiiit... *runs to bathroom*... that was horrible. I am shaking like there is no tomorrow. How the hell am I supposed to be able to take this on a full stomach at 3 freakin 30 am? I need to change this... I cant do this every night. The best I can time it is if I take it at 8am, cut it short by 3 hours this one time, get being sick over with in the morning before work, then take it again at 4pm, then I can take my last one at 12am...and stay up till 12:30. I guess getting 8 hours of sleep is out of the question. Look at what I get for trying to save money with the "3 vs 1 pill a day" treatment plan. I always have bad reactions to antibiotics. Last time it was penacillin when I got my wisdom teeth out n that made me have nausia and get a fever! I can barely type my hands are trembling so bad... I hate to wake my rents up but this is kinda freaking me out. *breath* I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this... and my brother isn't even online anymore so no one is... not like I expect anyone to be when it is now 4am. I can go to bed now tho, but first I gotta puke again.

-I am getting a root canal July 8th.
--I just woke up from nap # 3 caused by the pain and the meds.
---Set up my checking and savings account today with the sweetest woman. We talked about hard to prounce last names, going to college, how cafeteria food sucked, her moving here from an island off of India for college, meeting her husband here, their marriage and how he had to go to India and do all the cultural things like write her father a letter of request to marry her, her proving her dad wrong by getting an education and marrying, her two adorable kids who came in for a bit, learning how to drive when she was 23 in Germany, her husband finally leaving the military bc he wanted to stay home with her and witness the birth of their boy, loving the military lifestyle bc she could offer all those privates a home when they were far from their's... it totally made me smile. She told me to come visit her before I left for college and I def think I will.
----I am always surprised when ppl like that tell me at the end that if I need anything now or when I am in college, at any hour in the day to feel free to call themmm... it's a bank for goodness sake. A doctor I only had once and my dentist also extended such invitations.
-----I am always happy when I am needed. I can't offer any more advise except to keep on encouraging him to do what he thinks and feels is right. I've never been in a situation where religious differences get in the way of a relationship, but I guess just to have someone to talk to is all Tim needs cuz he's called every night to update me and I am glad I can help. If anything this experience has challenged him to take a chance, make hard decisions, vocalize them and not give up. Finally all of his "not caring" is turning into caring and he is slowly getting the strength to stand up for his feelings, even if that means sacrificing a lot, including being able to talk to his parents about it. He really must care about her...
------ Had to sit out on the driving range and go cart ride festivities tonight, but I did slightly enjoy dinner out with my parents. I think it helped settle things b/w us and they are realizing that everything is ok. I might have even heard a bit of excited giddiness in my mom's voice when she was talking about her friend who met her bf online and I got to hear all about him and how gentleman like he is... and when I asked how long they have known each other she goes, "not nearly as long as you've known keith"
------- I love this smiley I could use one of those.
