smiths - shoplifters of the world unite

it's been a gorgeous day today, all sunny and cheerful since the moment i woke up. i had to go to this dumb harassment seminar, but it wasn't so bad as i thought. we put two tables together for all the KCAC lifeguards, we thought we were so cool... as i was leaving, trish and suzanne grabbed me and asked me to a little shindig with some of the other staff tonight. i told them to get me more info once they'd planned it out, and went home to take a shower! then later amy called me up, ben needed someone to sub for him, so i went in around one. what a lazy day at work... eventually, thank god, elizabeth busted out her laptop and we all watched pirates of the caribbean. i found an old tattoo of a sparrow in my purse, so i put it on and now, i'm a pirate! after work i went over to steph's and we figured out tonight's plans. she's off to go see i, robot with brandon right now (i saw it with brent and some of his friends last night. it's actually pretty good, minus the whole will smith acting thing.) i picked up terry for a liquor run, now i've got a beautiful bottle of cap'n morgan's spiced rum sitting under a sweatshirt in my car. we'll be heading down to chris's ranch (i finally get to scope it out!!) around 10 tonight, so in the meantime i'm going to catch up on my summer reading.

ten feet - someday

today during our lunch together, i told my dad about the whole, me not being a christian anymore thing. so much for waiting til college, when they expect those changes, yeah? he got real quiet and didn't say much to me the rest of the time we were together. as i was driving away, it hit me. it felt just like breaking up with a boyfriend. i was telling my dad something he was going to hate to hear, he feels guilty about it, like if he'd done something different then everything would be okay. and i felt like crying because i knew i'd hurt him but i had to tell him or things would just get worse over time. i didn't cry, though. hard as nails bitch, that's me. i'm really not thrilled about all this right now.
brent, meanwhile, got back at me for when i ditched him about a week ago. we were going to hang out today, go to a lake and swim around or something. instead, half an hour after i get home, he takes off with his friends. that butt head! so i went outside and read a book in the sun for a while. which was really really stupid of me. my legs were already burnt from being out on the lake all morning. so now they're bright red, and they hurt too bad for me to even shave them before work. so i smeared myself with aloe and hopefully i'm working with the girls tonight (or at least none of the gorgeous guys.)

311 - do you right

jason, kyle... oh, those boys are so drunk. 
work today, la-la... it was actually pretty fun, since bryce's kid vomited in the pool and we got to close early. yes! anna and i battled it out with the floaty bars, bryce and russ argued over who was the bigger pimp.. i got a big ol' hug from bryce for supporting him. and then i opened the staff room door over my foot and tore a huge gaping hole in the side, way worse than any popped blister from crew. other'n that, vegged out at tuey's for a while, then brandon's, lots of talking and playing with cell phones, yup!

ophelia's burnt cd

cole on the couch at the awesome piercing parlor. 

dude! this is so amazing. tuey just called me up - jack wants to paint us up and pose us one the street with signs for his tattoo parlor. way back in the day, david used to claim he'd paint me up with that body paint stuff. i thought that would be awesome. now it'll actually happen! and the people that own the harley bike shop in the same building want us to sit on the bikes. or something like that. anyway, this is going to be awesome... i am totally psyched now. i love tuey! she always has the best stuff going on!
so i get home, and my dog's passed out on the floor. i guess he hasn't left my room for the last six hours. poor guy.
chris was smokin' today... these 12 year old girls were hitting on him by crawling around on the ground in front of him. hey, he might not have been attracted to it, but at least he'll never forget them!
what else? indian cuisine with my dad for lunch, fun times on the water with crew. (my arms and legs are going to have funky ass tan lines at the end of this summer if i don't start spending more time outside in a bathing suit.) oh! and i went to goodwill for workout clothes! get this - bright teal spandex, purple shorts, and an orange t-shirt. how's that for fashion? hmm? ha!

311 - love song

my awesome tongue ring! 

that expression is totally how i feel right now. in your face, ha! i am so awesome! remember the ap testing way back when? and all the stress and not-studying i did, and the way i just sort of gave up half way through the essays and bs'd everything? yeah, i got my scores back today. all 5's, bitches!
peabody's got this nasty rash all over him. i took him to the vet today.. they think it's allergies, 'cause he got the same thing last year. we were there for an hour, and peabody's a pretty nervous dog. he was not having a fun time at the vet. when we got home he drank tons of water and sat outside for a while. it reminded me of when someone sits alone by themself and just tries to grasp what's been happening to them. a couple minutes later he vomited all over the floor. poor boy, i feel terrible for him.
today after crew, my dad and i went to tijuana taco, this white person's mexican food stand. not bad, but then, every time we eat lunch together, i'm starving. crew makes me open to new foods. it sounds a little weird, but my dad was being so cute today. we were driving back to his work with the windows down, i was playing my new 311 cd.. and he was sitting there, all wistful about how he didn't want to go back to work, and how lucky i was to be driving around in the sunshine with the music. it was really cool to hear my dad say things like that. usually he doesn't approve of much that i do for fun. but driving with the windows down and the reggae music playing is one of my favorite things to do, and here he was wishing he could do it, too. it was a bonding moment.

311 - come original

tuey, all happy with her coke and werther's original! 

lots of fun with tuey and mallory yesterday, watching friends and playing at the beach... but stupid me, i should've had my cell phone with me. fun party with jamie and some other people from work last night, i missed out but i hear it was amazing. grr. ah well, brent and i went swimming at lake kilarney today, so i'm a little more tan at least.
