WOW. I have not updated this thing in 2 months. Seems quite a long time. But I guess there's better things to do in the summer.. like working, and working out. But I think this summer might be my best.. despite the fact that all of the friends I usually hang out with in the summer are: A) not here.. B) not available.. C) not called.. and despite the fact that one of my closest friends found out she was pregnant (YAY!!) right before our Vegas trip (BOO!) of which they decided not to go to because.. you know, the situation. BUT.. I have been on 2 vacations - Vegas (1), in which we partied hardy and drank throughout the day.. and saw PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, which was deliciously good by the way.. and witnessed Arielle getting X'ed out of the best club in Vegas, Tao - Texas (2), to visit my sister and my nephew Preston. We saw a lot of sights, some bad (I witnessed a horrifying accident on the freeway, in which there was a bad mess of blood EVERYWHERE).. but mostly good (going to NASA Space Center, going to San Antonio Riverwalk, going to hike to see aligators, almost being attacked by a racoon, etc). No drinking though, cuz you know.. family.

As of right now, just working and not doing much.. waiting for my next 2 vacations - camping at Lake Camanche (1), with a variety of friends for Pat's birthday, in which I can almost guarantee you we will be sooo hammered, it would not be funny. And then Vegas (2) again, partly for Arielle's birthday, but mostly because we got 2 free nights stay at the HARD ROCK HOTEL. YAY!! Rehab Sundays, here we coome! Although.. maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea considering we have to fly home on Sunday.. but I don't see the problem in being drunk on the airplane. LOL. Anyway. So our 2nd Vegas trip.. I'm only going because we got these complementary rooms.. otherwise, I'd stay my ass home considering I'm hella broke. But whatever. The rooms are COMP'ed!! And do you know how much a room is PER NIGHT at the Hard Rock? About $910.00.. PER NIGHT! So you know, I feel pretty damn good about this offer.

Anyway.. I don't have pictures because they are all on my laptop.. but I will post them in September when I get internet once I move back to Davis (I can already smell the cow dung!). Yeah, I'm glad I get these two other vaca's before school cuz.. I don't know how I'd feel going back for my last year and having no good memories during the summer. Plus, I'm finally 21 so I can party it up every night if I want to.. not that I will. Just maybe. =)

Stay tuned for pictures!

Summer Time

Okay, so I wrote a long ass entry about commitment and responsibility, but right before I decided to click submit, the internet goes DOWN!

So.. to save myself the trouble, I will just summarize what I wrote before and get down to the dirty part.

COMMITMENT
- When you commit to something, pull through with it! This doesn't mean just individuals (boyfriends, families, friends), this means events, trips, plans as well.
- I've made a big effort to keep my commitments to my friends because I'm loyal to them and I don't want to let them down. But recently, this proved to not be reciprocated as I would have hoped.
- I'm glad that the 8 people we invited actually kept their word and are all able to make it to VEGAS. Very grateful for that. =)

RESPONSIBILITY
- I am sooooo against incompetent parents. It's just like, how are you able to bring a baby into this world when you can't even take care of yourself? That's sooo irresponsible.
- If you're stuck in a rutt and you have to have the baby, then that's fine. But you also need to MATURE the hell up, learn to take care of yourself and stop relying on others. Because soon, it's just gonna be you and the baby and there will be times when no one will be around to help you.
- I know I have no personal experience in this department, but this is just common sense. The way I see it.. if you're not ready to be a parent, don't put yourself at risk. It's simple. C'mon people! Birth control!!! Get with the program!

CURRENT NEWS

Then, June 20 -- head out to Vegas. LOOVES IT!

So I downloaded the Usher album on iTunes (simply because Arielle tried to send her copy to me and I couldn't play it because I didn't have the licensing.. whatever). It gets my 4 stars outa 5. =) There are some really good ballads on there (just because Usher is pure genius when it comes to love ballads), and then there were some kinda corny up beat songs, but overall it was a very good album. Like all his others. =) My recommendations: Moving Mountains, Appetite, His Mistakes, Whats a man to do, Will work for love..

I wanted to get the Mariah Carey album but after previewing it, I felt it was better to just download the few songs I liked. My recommendation: I stay in Love on the E=MC squared album.

ONE MORE YEAR AND I AM DOOONE! I'm also moving home for the summer cause my counseler told me I don't need to take summer school, so I guess I'm taking the summer off. =)
