oh yeah one more thing-mom found another gray hair on my head today. that would be number two. yes my friends, two. i'm 18. that isn't cool. stupid stress....

oh i forgot--i went to the varsity soccer game at central last night. good stuff. i went with staci lindstrom, and it was awesome to hang out with her again. i hadn't seen her since march, so that was cool. if kelli goes to bolivia, then me and staci are gonna be in the same boat.
but yeah. it was fun. i like going to soccer games, even tho i hardly ever actually watch the game... or do my homework while i'm at the game. lol. ok i need to get back to my 6 page paper about joseph for old testament...

allow me to amend that-I'M NOT SICK I'M NOT GONNA BE SICK I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE SICK THEREFORE I AM NOT SICK!!!! i don't care what reno says. i'm not sick. :)

mom came for lunch today. that was nice. i'm not homesick at all, but it was cool to see her. she brought me lots of fun stuff too, which was great. :)

there's a cross country meet here this weekend. tim's running in it. i'm gonna watch him, then we're gonna hang out for a bit (i'm gonna send him to PGB for a shower, lol). then we're going to camp for the 50th anniversary dinner. should be fun stuff. he's excited about seeing craig. those two scare me when they're together... lol.

i really should be working on my paper instead of sitting here writing in this. uck. i have my english almost done, then i have that nice 6 page old testament paper... oh joy...

i'm getting sick. i don't like it. i can't breathe thru my nose. its not fun. i'm hoping that i'm gonna wake up tomorrow and magically feel better. wouldn't that be cool?? :)

sarah bernier called me tonight! i was so excited! i haven't talked to her since the staff reunion. it was awesome to catch up with her. :)

ok i need to get to bed, its 20 til 2... :)

back to story time (as if anyone actually cared...)

craig showed us where the concerts were gonna be, then we went back and sat down near the cafeteria. for a really long time. lol. we sat there and talked-well mostly they sat there and made fun of me. it was funny tho. juan (one of craig's...hmm.. what do you call them?? suitemates? roommates? oh well i give up...) gave me a PBJ sandwich, so i didn't have to pay to eat lunch-oh happy day! :) then this guy came over. craig found this funny, he was laughing at me the whole time behind tim's back. tim was the guy. so yeah-he came over and basically hit on me. it was definitely not something i'm used to have happening to me, lol. so 11:30 rolled around, and craig, reno, and tim all went into the cafeteria to eat. i tried to call travis, but no one answered at that apartment. a little bit later, jeremiah came in. he didn't see me at first so i said "jeremiah wagner!" he was so funny, he ran across the room all excited to see me, and gave me a huge hug. i missed that kid. he went in to eat then, and craig came back out a little later. i was glad that he came out before tim, cuz i didn't want to be by myself with him... haha. when reno came out we went up to craig's apartment so he could change into some "volleyball clothes", which i found amusing. then he played VB and reno and i went over to watch us some concerts. the first band, johnny come lately, was good. i really liked them.

i'm tired. i don't feel like doing this right now. i'll do it in the morning. or maybe while i'm at work. all well. sometime later.

woo hoo i did it!! i now have comments and i'm excited!!! :)

good weekend. this is gonna be a long post most likely so get comfy.

reno and i left around 5:30 on friday. i went to the bank, got gas in dalton (I HATE THAT FUEL MART ITS SO EXPENSIVE!!!!), and got to travis' right on time. we were there for a bit, then i followed travis and 2B to tim's house. he has quite a drive to church every sunday!! from tim's, i followed them to mt. vernon. this is great, but only a few people will get it: we drove thru funk, ohio. but wait, it gets better. we were on snoddy road!!! i was yelling out the window "mandy mcmillen i love you!!!!" (reno probly thought i was nuts, lol). we stopped at a mcdonalds in loudonville on the way, and then went to some driving range or something in mt vernon to meet tim's older brother matt, and follow him to campus. i got seperated from them in mt. vernon, but luckily caught up to them again soon. which is good. cuz all i know in mt. vernon is my grandma's house, and thats in the country! when we got to the college, we headed to matt's apartment. craig showed up there to get me and reno, so we went out to my car and got mine and reno's stuff, then went to craig's apartment. then (i say then a lot... all well) they walked me over to where i was gonna be staying. i met them, put my stuff upstairs, and they invited me to stay for a movie. there were so many people in that apartment... i was kinda scared. i think craig knew that, and he asked me if i wanted to go back to his apartment with him and reno. i very gratefully said yes. so we went back, ordered a pizza, and watched 'catch me if you can' cuz i hadn't seen it before and i wanted to. craig cracks me up. he can't sit still, first of all. it was hilarious. after the movie craig walked me back to the girls' apartment cuz i didn't know how to get there. (i never did learn how the whole weekend... lol). after studying half-heartedly for a little bit, i went to sleep around 1 or 1:30. bethany woke me up at 9:20, and i laid in bed until 9:30. then i got up and called heidi on bethany's cell phone (i was super-excited when she told me to do that the night before when i mentioned i was gonna call her!!) we only talked for a little bit cuz she was at a friend's house. i cried. i said i wasn't going to, but i did. bethany was real cool about it when i got off the phone and was bawling. i calmed myself down, then went downstairs cuz craig and reno were picking me up at 10. when they came, we went over to the cafeteria to find that it didn't open till 11:30. so we had almost an hour and a half to kill.

i don't feel like typing this all out right now. i'll do more later...

i talked to travis yesterday. i was scared. it took me about half an hour after he got on to "muster the courage" to IM him. but everything's ok now. i'm not gonna go into detail about it. i just wanted to say that things are ok. which is good. cuz i hated the thought of him mad at me.

kelli just IMed me and invited me to dinner tonight. woo hoo!! good stuff! real food! :)

i was gonna write an actual post, but i get off work in 10 minutes so i'm just gonna stop for now. :)

heidi leaves in 4 days. i'm not a happy camper.

i don't even know what to write. i just caused one of the people that i care about the most in this world to get mad at me. travis has always been an awesome friend to me. always. and then i go and am a jerk and he gets mad. i mean it wasn't all my fault, but i didn't handle the situation very well. telling someone that you don't want to talk to them right now is NEVER a good thing. as soon as i typed the words, i wished there was some kind of "recall button" so i could take them back. i've never snapped on him before. ever. he's been there for me when i needed him (with a few exceptions, but he's a guy, what can i say?). and i just messed everything up because i have a freaking temper, and i let it get the best of me. i don't even know what to do now. i hate the thought of hurting travis. or any of my friends for that matter. but i've never taken anger out on him before. i don't know what to do... i can't believe i treated him like that. i'm a jerk and i really hate myself. i need a good cry right now. i'm gonna go lay in my bunk and cry.

roar. this job is boring. i finished my psych paper, which is good. its not the best paper i've ever written, but i was starting to repeat myself, so i just ended it. only 40 minutes till someone comes to replace me and i can EAT FOOD, otherwise known as lunch. then all i have to do is go to psych, then i have the rest of the night for whatever!! i don't have anything to do for tomorrow--we don't have english tomorrow, i don't have any PW homework, and i should probly read for my OT a little. but i can pretty much do that tomorrow. i think i'm gonna go to b/s again tonight (that seems to be the "cool" thing to call it, and i don't wanna be uncool do i?? lol). i called kelli last night and told her that i needed a ride if she was going and if not i needed tim's number to call him and tell him that i need a ride. cuz i have no idea how to get there.. lol.

plans for sonfest are falling into place. i'm getting excited. :) seeing relient k in concert is always cause for great excitement. :) mom sent me 4 different sets of directions in an email... lol. i haven't decided how i'm going yet. i may go rt 30 to rt 3 and follow tim miller, his brother, and travis down. but thats a little bit out of the way, so we'll see. i have a few days... i'm glad that travis and tim are going down the night before too. i hate being in places where i don't know anyone. i'm a little nervous about staying with someone that i don't know, but thats ok. i'm a big girl now... lol.

well. i think thats just about it for me... i have no life cuz i'm a loser... half an hour till i can go eat lunch :)

i wanted to see what i would get if i picked "boo!" for every question! :)

You are the Ancient Booer. You are the ugliest
thing imaginable, and often appear in people's
nightmares. Boo!

"Boo! Boo! Rubbish, filth, slime, muck!
Boo! Boo! Boooooo!"


What character from The Princess Bride are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

hehehe :)

not like i fear for my safety on campus or anything, but i really like it when a security guard sticks his head in the door to one of the labs on sundays. i work 4 hours straight every sunday. i'm in this little office sandwiched between two computer labs. it just brings a smile to my face when a guard pokes his head in the door and waves at me, just to make sure that everything is going ok. ok. thats that... now i REALLY gotta stop procrastinating and work on that paper!! all i have so far is a title... lol

and the weekend is almost over... blech. i had a good weekend tho!! :) it was very much one of those spur-of-the-moment weekends. i decided at about 4 or 5 yesterday that i was gonna go to the soccer game at central. so i left here around 6:20, stopped at massillon wal-mart to buy a pair of jeans (for $13, woo hoo!!) and i got mystery men for $4 cuz i love that movie. :) so i go on to kidron. i'm considered an adult now cuz i'm in college. blah. so i had to pay $5 to get in instead of $3. that was sad. lol. i saw katie troyer (one of my awesome campers at jr hi camp), so i called her name, and the next thing i know she's running at me full speed and jumps on me. it was hilarious, that girl cracks me up!! so then we went to find alisa, cuz she cracks me up too. it was a fun game, although i didn't watch much of it. i had to do stuff like run away from katie and alisa cuz they were spitting soggy popcorn at me (ahh the memories... lol). central lost, which sucked. but it was still a fun game. arguing with travis is always fun. :) i followed ben back to his house cuz it was only like 8:45 and i didn't want to go back to malone yet. i ended up going to wooster with him, travis, matt something, and isaiah schloneger. it was fun. well mostly. there was some big thing going on between those guys and then a group of girls--the guys hid one of the girls wallets and didn't tell her, then gave it back to her at scoops and she was really pissed... it was really awkward for me, cuz i didn't really know anyone in the group except for ben and travis, and aimee landry. all the girls ended up leaving, and we went to this ice cream place called "scoops" and ordered the super scooper. its a hugeomongous bowl filled with 15 scoops (and not little scoops, big ones!!) of ice cream. and if you order it, you get your picture taken and hung on the wall in the "hall of fame." so the 5 of us ate that. and wow, let me tell you, that was a LOT of ice cream... lol. after that we went to wal-mart. i bought some fun tony the tiger pajama pants in the men's section. lol. i fell asleep on the way back to ben's-like i was out cold. so i decided to sleep at ben's and come back here in the morning, cuz i was way too tired to drive. i ended up staying up a little later than i thought to watch 2 weeks notice, but it was a fun movie. then i went to church at chestnut ridge. it was the first time in my life that i've ever worn jeans and a t-shirt to church... it was really weird. i'm glad that i stopped to buy jeans at wal-mart yesterday, cuz the ones that i was wearing had a hole in the knee... lol. so then i ended up staying for lunch cuz they had a carry-in meal cuz marvin was installed as pastor of their church (i thought that "installed" was a very odd way of phrasing that, but thats what the bulletin said...). so i was gonna go back after that, but they were like "come watch 2 towers!!" so i did. i went back to ben's with him, brad, travis, and tim miller. i only got to see about 45 minutes of it tho, cuz then i had to get back here for work. and thats where i am now, work... so boring.
now i'm gonna go, cuz i have to write a 2-3 page paper for psychology on whether or not i'd want to be kept on live support if i experienced a severe injury... yuck!! lol

i talked to heidi for awhile tonight. i really don't know what i'm going to do. go crazy thats about it....

oh i forgot: i'm glad that i went to that bible study. i was actually kinda on the nervous side about it, cuz a lot of stuff has happened with joe and them, and i was kinda in the middle of it for awhile. not cool. but yeah, it was awesome, and i'm definitely going back. there is one problem: joe. is he gonna hate me if he finds out?? :-/ i hope not. that would be sad. really sad. anyway. babbling.... i'm gonna go. i have a boring job. a really boring job. blah.
