Hey kiddos, I'm switching to friends only. If you want to be added, let me know.

Cathy- I'll update later about Oregon/Washington. I got to go to Seattle! It was amazing and I'll fill you in on the details.

My computer wouldn't let me get online last night, so I'm just going to leave this in here. Bye Cathy! Now you can't get mad at me for not saying goodbye. Have a great week!

Sorry, Ali. I need to talk to you about some stuff, but I'm not sure when the best time is to get a hold of you. I'll try your house, but it's cool if you don't answer.

So my dad is like, suddenly wanting to be my best friend. He calls me this morning and acts like he didn't just bitch me out days ago. And he even volunteered to drive me up to Indianapolis without me having to ask. I can't say that I was surprised. This is usually what happens. He'll be a huge asshole, then call me a bit later and act like nothing happened, but he'll suddenly be ten times nicer. I'd rather get an apology than him offering to buy me something. You can't buy love, old man! He said he wanted to take me, Tiffany, and Tabitha (one of my sisters) out to dinner since our birthdays are so close together. I think this is his way of buying us dinner all at once so he won't have to spend more money on our actual birthdays. Three birds, one stone. And it'll probably end up being some predictable place like Applebee's or O'Charleys. You know, somewhere where we don't actually want to go, but he does, so we give in and let him have his way even though it's supposed to be our birthday present. But at least we'll all be together. I haven't hung out with any of my family besides Tiffany in a while, so I'm fine with it.

You know what I hate? How one of your arms is always tanner than the other. I think this is because when you drive, your right arm is more in the sun so it gets darker. Plus I have a ghetto farmer's tan from working at Kings Island. One of the many perks of working there. . .yeah right. My feet are pale ass white too. Last night Tiffany and I went out to dinner and I had on a pair of flip flops. She looked at my feet and was like, "Damn girl! Look at that. You're legs are dark, but your feet are nasty looking. I wouldn't be wearing flip flops if I were you." Of course she was joking, but it's the truth. I think it's quite sexy actually. Adds a bit of an exotic air, if you know what I mean. Okay, not really, but if I say that enough times maybe I'll start believing it. This morning as she was leaving for work, Tiffany was like, "Why don't you go sit on the balcony for a little bit? It's really sunny out." To which I replied with, "I'll be outside all afternoon when I go to work." She was like, "Yeah, but those feet. . ." then she laughed. Good times.

7 days until vacation!

Today was definitely an interesting day. I got to work and as soon as I walked in, someone from the SoB station called down to tell me that the ride wasn't going up until 12 p.m. So after I got all the paper work done and all that good stuff, I still had about two hours to kill. I called the other open and told him he didn't need to come in because our labor percent would be sky high. So I basically cleaned out the entire booth, straightening everything out. I swear to god, by 10 a.m. it was already 90 degrees out with 100% humidity. It was so freaking hot. After cleaning the booth for about forty-five minutes, I sat in the office just staring. Yes, I was that bored. Finally the ride went up at 11:20 a.m. It was Walk-On Wednesday (whatever the hell that is), so there was a long line right away. It started getting pretty busy, then Beastie called over to say that they're system was down. So both of the booths were down for quite a while. When Chris, the swing, came in, all of the printers started going haywire. One would print out a blank piece of paper and another would just not print at all. One would run out of paper and another out of ribbon. It was insane because we had a rush just as this all happened. But luckily we got it all sorted out.

So I called my dad this morning and left him a message asking him to call me back. I needed to ask him if he would drive me to the airport next Saturday so I wouldn't have to drive up and leave my car and pay out the ass for parking. So around 12:30 p.m. he calls me back. Earlier this week he hurt his ankle when he was playing basketball (funny mental image there), so he's been hobbling around all week. Well, right before I can even ask him if he'll give me a ride, he starts laying the guilt-trip on me. He was like, "I've been having to crawl around this house all week. No one is here to help me. I can't even go to the grocery store." He pretty much called me a bad daughter because I wasn't there to be at his beck-n-call 24/7. I told him that I was busy with work and he was like, "So?" Who's the freaking adult here? Does he ever care when I don't feel well or I need help with something? No, screw him. He spends all his money and time on his girlfriend, so where is she to help him out? A couple weeks ago I wanted to take him out to dinner for Father's Day and you know what he said? "Gee, I don't know. I have plans with Cindy (the girlfriend) for the next couple of nights." What the hell? He can't find ONE night available to go out to dinner with his daughter whom he sees about once every two weeks. He pawns all his parental duties off on my sister, Tiffany, who is barely twenty years old. Then when she asks for something, he gets all pissed.

I got a letter in the mail from my lawyer today saying how the doctor that we're sueing is trying to push back our trial date yet again. Our lawsuit has been going on since March of 1998. It was supposed to happen back in March of last year, but it was pushed back to October of this year. Which sucks ass because I have school and I'm going to have to come back here to testify. So now he's trying to get out of it again by saying he has to take some sort of re-certification test. It's funny how this test falls on the dates of our trial. I mean, out of all the dates in the year, it just falls on this date. Our crappy-ass lawyer said that he's going to try to make sure our trial takes place by late October/early November, but I don't hold much faith in his words. We haven't heard from this guy in over a year and a half so I don't think he really cares what the hell happens as long as he gets his money.

This guy that lives across the way from Tiffany and I is standing out on the patio playing his guitar. I had to go drop something off at Tiffany's work, and when I walked out there he stopped playing and was like, "Hello." and I said "Hi," then he was like, "Goodbye." and I was like, "Uh, bye." Then when I came home he was still up there playing. I used the back staircase in hopes of avoiding him but he saw me and was like, "Hi." and I just smiled and said "Hi." then he was like, "This one's for you." and started playing 'Crash Into Me' by Dave Matthews. I was like, "Okay. . ." and quickly unlocked my door and went inside. There's some pretty interesting people around this complex.

You know what I realized today? I'm scheduled to work 4-12:30 a.m. on the fourth of July. My flight to Oregon leaves at 7:55 a.m. on the fifth. So I won't get home till about 1:30 a.m., then I'll have to wake up at like 4 a.m. just to make sure I get to Indianapolis on time to check in and get all my flight stuff done. So this should prove interesting. Hopefully I can find someone to switch shifts with. I cannot wait until vacation. I desperately need to get out of this place. I know I'm going to have so much fun out there too because my aunt always makes sure there's a lot of plans so we're never bored. I can't believe it's almost the end of June. It feels like summer just started. Graduation is still a blur to me, it just came and went so fast.

I move into my dorm at OU on September 4th, then school actually starts up on the 8th. It's not that far away, or at least I like to pretend it's not. I'm so anxious to get started. I hope college is everything I ever thought it was and more. Because if that's the case, then it's going to be amazing. I'm also excited to meet my roommate. Hopefully we'll get along and she won't turn out to be some psycho who has an obsession with bunnies or something really weird like that. You know, like on Felicity. The first season she had the crazy roommate (who eventually turned likeable, but eh). It just occurred to me the other day (yeah, better late than never) that I'm going to have to walk to class in the snow. Yeah, I knew that I would have to walk outside when it was cold, but I just started thinking. What if there's some huge snowstorm. It's going to be like, eight in the morning and I'm going to be in my bed thinking, "I could get up and walk to English class in four feet of snow, or I could stay in my nice, warm cozy bed." Inevitably, I'll choose the bed. Or I could trudge to the coffee shop and get something to warm me up.

Kristine called me today and said that they're going to New York City tonight. She's so incredibly lucky. For a part of her job, she gets to travel around to different parks. Right now she's over by Delaware, New York, Maryland, etc. Tonight she gets to go downtown and see all the sights. That's so awesome. She said they're going to visit Ground Zero, so that'll definitely be an experience. I hope her visit there is as wonderful as she imagines it'll be. I've never been to New York City, so I have no idea what it's really like. But she called me and said that she was driving through Delaware right now and on her way to New York then she asked me what I was doing and I was like, "Just got out of Kings Island. So now I'm stuck in traffic on 71." If I was her I would've laughed evilly. She could picture exactly where I was, but I had no clue where she was. I can't wait to see all the pictures she takes.

Thank you very much, Ali. I'm totally loving the new layout you made for me. If I had any idea how to make stuff like that, I'd make you one. But I don't, so sadly, I can't.

I guess I should comment on my haircut since I made my last entry basically all about that. I love it! It's about mid-back now and there's long front layers. I'm thinking of maybe getting the layers cut a little shorter, that way they're more noticeable. But all in all, I'm very happy with the way the lady did it. I think I'll have to go back to her. She was nice.

Not much has been going on with me. I'm trying to work as much as possible, that way I'll have tons of money saved up for OU. I'm even going to get a second job. I figure that way I can put all my Kodak earnings away for college, then money from my other job will be spending money for clothes and stuff. I'm going to try to get a job at this local restaurant by my sister's apartment. It's called Harry's Diner. My dad is friends with Harry and Tiffany used to work there a few years ago, so I thought it'd be an easy place to get a job and he'd be able to work around my Kodak schedule. It's 50s themed, so that'll be fun. And no, I don't have to wear a poodle skirt or saddle shoes. Although, that would've been kind of fun. It's a nice little place, though. I can work there on my days off from Kings Island and try to work opposite shifts.

I'm finally going on vacation too! Okay, so it's only Oregon (and Idaho since they live on the border) and I'm going to visit my aunt and uncle, but I think that counts as a vacation. I'm leaving July 5th and coming back July 13th. I so need a vacation. I haven't been away from Cincinnati in forever. I just need a break from this place before heading off to college. Plus, I love going out there because it's so pretty and my aunt and uncle are awesome. The town they live in is really small and everything is basically in walking distance. I used to live out there with them back at the beginning of sophomore year, so I know my way around. I'm just so happy to be going someplace. My aunt is going to take me to the west coast so I can see the tropical side, since they live in the desert area. She's also taking me up to Washington for her family reunion. So that's three states (Oregon, Idaho, and Washington). I figure that's definitely a bit of a change.

Well, I must be off to work now. I hope this is enough for now, Cathy. You asian ho.

I need to buy some new CDs, so anyone who has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them. My favorite bands are Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, The All-American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, etc. So any bands with that type of sound would be cool.
