WEEEEKEENNDD!!!!

Yes, it's an account of my weeeekeenndd!!!!

Which was awesome!

On Friday night, I went to see Camelot in Hayesville. I really didn't want to, and if Emily wasn't there, I would have been absolutely miserable. the play wasnt.... bad. But it was really funny.

The only thing is that, we never laughed at the jokes. We just laughed at everything else. I know that sounds like we are REALLY RUDE to just laugh about it, but if we hadn't we would have been bored to tears, so I think the actors would rather us be entertained in SOME way... right?

Anyway, in the first scene, the guy that played King Arthur is wearing this tunic thing (in fact, all of the guys except one wear tunics with tights the entire play. ummm) and his skirt is... kind of short, and he sits down ... a few times. AHHHHH!!!!! MY EYES!!! And King Arthur is a lot older than Guenevere (spellcheck?)

Oh, and Lancelot's tunic thing has, like slits up both sides that go all the way up to his hips. So everytime his side was to the crowd, it was like LOOK AT MY THIGHS!!!
That was one of the main sources of laughter for Emily and I.

And, at one point, they are having a jousting tournament, and supposedly, Sir Lionel gets stabbed all the way through by the lance..... so when they carried his dead body onto the stage, they have put 'blood' on his 'armor' (silver cloth). The blood looks like he dribbled ketchup on his shirt whilst eating a hamburger. And, after Lancelot's miracle, when Lionel is walking away, there is no blood on his back. I THOUGH HE WAS STABBED ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!!

hmmmmm......

OH, and Merlin's wizard costume looked like a spacesuit. It was like, purple with a liver strip running down the front, and Lime green shoulder things.

But, the most disturbing part of the entire play was Guenevere and Lancelot's kiss. Apparently, this actress had just graduated (we think high school), and The actor was, in his 40's. I think.

Anyway, this kiss was wayyyy too intense (open-mouthed. *retch retch*), and it was the most awkward moment ever. Everybody in the theater was super quiet, and I really wanted to clear my throat just then, but I didn't.

Anyway, then Mordrid comes in, and catches them. And then he ruins everybody's life, and he laughs about it very dramatically, and he has the funniest I'm-better-than-you swagger.

So then afterwards, we all went to Waffle House, because they are open really late. ;)


Saturday!!!!

I didn't have to work on Saurday, which is AWESOME.

I hung around all day, and then last night I went to Lisa's slumber party. I love slumber parties. They make me feel like a 12 year old again.

So anyway, there was:
Bri
Lisa
Emma
Carley
Farrah
Deana
and Me

We went to the moves, and saw HANCOCK which was pretty good. It could have been funnier, though.

OH, and they decided to dress me up in Lisa's clothes. I don't know why. Apparently, my Cute is What We Aim For t-shirt is just not good enough for them. So I ended up wearing this white shirt with blue and yellow flower type things on it.

Then they wanted to do my hair. I don't know why. Apparently my gorgeous fluffy curls are not good enough for them. They decided to straighten it. Straightening my hair properly, takes about 2 hours. We didn't have 2 hors, we had about 10 minutes. So Lisa decided to leave the ends of my hair all brushed out and frizzy. My hair was very triangular.

I looked like a hippy. Which is okay I guess... I just felt a little awkward.

Anyway, then we went back to Lisa's and watched the Ruins. gag! Grossest movie ever. And we didn't even finish it. We started watching the Heath Ledger movie called Candy. He was a nasty drug addict guy. With a nasty drug addict girlfriend.

We didn't get very far into that before everyone fell asleep. approximate time: 4:30 am.

When we woke up this morning, and re-started the movie. Then I left for work. 11:30 am.


So at work today, I wasn't there long, just, like two hours, because they sent me home early to save on labor costs, my 'boss' made me so mad. She's actually a manager-in-training, and she's been at our store for less time that I have. She hasn't learned how everything works yet, and I don't blame her for that. It's just that, she hasn't learned it all yet.

Anyway, she ended up talking to me about 'respect' and stuff because I simply told her that you can fit twelve cookies on a cookie tray without them cooking together. She actually threatened to send me home. Really??? After her little lecture, she gave me hug. GRRRR.

So anyway, Dana and I told our manager-manager about it, and she just kind of rolled her eyes.
Apparently, she doesn't really care. So neither do I.

Anyway, I came home, caught up on all the sleep I missed, and then I talked to Bri a little. She's starting a clothing line, ya know. It's pretty cool. She wore the cutest dress to Lisa's. And she MADE IT.

So yeah, then I went for a ride with my daddy in Fiona, and then I wrote this.

And, I decided what I want to write my narrative about.

BAND CAMP TOMORROW!!!!! wh-hoo!

Peace.

Just need to write

WARNING: The following post is about absolutely nothing.

I finally have some days off.

After a working Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, AND Today.
And some of those days weren't good ones.

I was ready to kill someone on Sunday, and on Saturday I was so zonked when I got home, I actually took a nap. I haven't done that since I was, like, eight.

And, of course, today, I spent the entire day defending my religious beliefs: mainly my favorite college football team. GO GATORS! (Suck it UGA fans).
Anyway, my boss (Clay) is an ALABAMA fan. Are you kidding me? Bama?

Oh, and this pretty big guy came in and he was wearing a Florida hat, and Florida gym shorts, so I told Clay that the Florida guy wanted to break him in half for giving me crap about UF.

And we have a bet going that if I get valedictorian of my class when we graduate, that he has to wear a Florida shirt for an entire day. :-P and he has to like it.

So, yeah, he spent the whole day TRYING to diss me for being a Florida fan.

Let's just say his quips aren't..... well thought out.
(and he can't tell what a nickel looks like. haha.)
But, I laughed A LOT today, so it was a good day.

So now I have the next two days off. Tomorrow, I have to go ride the horse, because I haven't ridden in FOREVER, and I'm gonna make a lot of headway on my vocabulary.

Until then, I'm going to continue to watch stupid TV.
Right now the show of choice is SAVED BY THE BELL.
Which is awesome. Love it.
I love how everybody overacts everything.
NO way! The show just went into super-awesome supsenseful slow-mo for the final play of the big volleyball game. Where of course that play would be the defining factor of whether they lose the game, and their jobs, and whether or not the lovely Zack Morris gets the car.

That's just good television.


So that's it.

This is my life right now.

Thrilling right?

Yeah, it's alright with me.

LOVE YA!!

I saw The Dark Knight

Isn't it crazy?

Batman is most definitely my least favorite superhero, but this movie was good enough to change my mind.... but only on the basis that he is a total bada*s, so that makes up for his lack of any powers at all.

If there weren't as many explosions, and stunts and stuff, I would still regard Batman as a total phony... and if Christian Bale wasn't so darn sexy.


AND on top of everything, Heath Ledger played a fantastic Joker. It's too bad he's dead, but I'm not going to get too torn up about it, because there are way more important things than mourning someone who I never met, even if A Knight's Tale is one of my favorite movies ever. But the movie lasted so long!
I had to leave twice. First to get drink refills for Sara Beth and me (which I got for free even though you're only supposed to get large refills for free), and then again to pee, because that was the longest movie on the face of the planet.... I'm sure it isn't, but It's the longest one I've had the patience to sit through.



Anyway, it's a great movie. And even if my opinion means squat to you (which, of course, if it did, you wouldn't have read this whole thing), you should completely go see it.

Count the Mounds of Crisco

The book that never ends.

I have, like, less than a month to finish reading this book, and do the assignments.

I'm freaking out!

I admit to being to world's worst procrastinator, and obviously my time would be better spent asctually READING the book than sittin ghere writing about how I SHOULD read it.

Why can't I focus on the dumb book?

When I do try to read it, I just get confused. There are way too many characters.
It's like, this guy had an affair iwth her, and then their 'dead' baby was taken after someone tried to kill him, and the dude that stole the baby ends up beinga valet, and the baby is a murderer that pretends to be someone's son for money, and he's going to marry this girl that tries to run away after they find out that he's a murderer. And one girl is supposed to marry a guy, but she loves the otehr dude, and she gets her grandfather to break off her marriage to the guy she doesn't love, and then she gets engaged to the dude she loves, meanwhile, people are dropping like flies in her house, so everyone thinks it's cursed. And then she is the target of the murderer, and the Count promises that she will be okay, but now she's dead, and that's where I am right now.


I DON'T GET IT!!! I can't keep everyone straight.

I'm going to go to Sparknotes and see if they can shed some light.
