Im still so very tired. I have gotten little to no sleep for the past week and a half now. My body is screaming for some r and r. These past two weekends have definatly challenged my body to see what it can withhold. So here, let me explain the two weekends that were fun, but defiantly energy draining.

Weekend of the 8th-9th-and 10th. I left to go to North Carolina to see my friend, Meghann. Justen (a guy I work with, and a friend) and I packed some clothes, and headed down to visit for a mere 2 days before turning around and heading back up. 15 hours of hot, sticky hell on the way down, and a tiresome 12 hours of sleepiness driving on the way back. It was worth it though, everyroad trip is worth it, just to get out of the state. We really never did anything big while down there, but it was nice to enjoy a unfamiliar state's weather. We went to a local pool hall, scuba dove in Meghann's pool (lol.), went to a big festival downtown, took pictures in the park, played Marco Polo!!, and sat and hung out with Meghann's parents. And let me just say that those were the coolest older people I have sat down with and talked to. They were so nice and they held a constant conversation with us for approximatly 8 hours. So, all in all the drive was bad, but it was nice to just sit and chill with some cool people who think WE have an accent. I even got my nails painted out of the deal, lol. Meghann was one of those people that you would feel right at home with. She is the most not-fake person Ive ever met. I LOVE that about people. If I can get along with the REAL them, then Im tickled pink. We had such good karma together, and from my prosepective, we got along wonderfully. She is a listener, a violinist, a friend, a seafood lover, a great hugger, and she is so sincere in what she says. Its unbelieveable that she is that far away however. Its like, when you meet people near you you almost settle for them being your friend, kinda like, "Uh yeah, Ill probably call you." Shes one of those people that youd just say, "Oh my god, we HAVE to go to the beach today and hang out, and then after, lets just sit around my house and mouw watching the boob tube." One of those people you just are so excited to hang with, and its not because your doing something special, but because your with that imparticular person. One of those people that you truely wish nothing but the best for. One of those people that youd give the shirt off your back for because you know theyd do the same. Shes just one of those people.....

Weekend of the 15th-16th-and 17th. Friday night I went to a bar called Celebrations. A few of us from work were there, but it wasnt intended to be like that, just all of us hanging out. I wasnt in the mood when I first got there, but a half an hour later people caught me dancing on top of one of those crate things on the dance floor. I had so much fun. Its not one of those places that I have been to alot, so it was great just seeing new, outgoing faces. After the bar, Rachael, Justen and I went to a party that Rachael heard of. We were there about 25-30 minutes and then left; Justen went to a girls house, and Rachael dropped me off ant mine. Justen got back to my house about 4:00 in the morning with a huge back of fattening junk foods, so we mouwed in front of the TV and then about 5:00 or 6:00 finally went to bed. Then, at 9:30 in the morning, got up to get ready for PrideFest. Got to PrideFest at about 12:00 (45 min drive) and got ready to march in the parade. It was cool because we were in the very front of the parade and we walked UNDER the road-sized rainbow flag. After the march we watched the speakers talk about equal rights, and about the festival and what was in store for the rest of the evening. We then went to the park were all the festivities were being held, and watched this awesome concert. I found new artisits that Ive come to adore... Melissa Ferrick, Tamara Bendrick <-sp, and Half-Looking. I am in desperate need to go out now, and buy all of their CDs. I also seen a few people there that a havent seen in awhile, Brian, Elissa, and Kari. After the concert we went back to my house for maybe a half an hour to an hour then we left, went to my best friend, Amanda's house, and then from there directly drove all the way up to Saginaw for my friend (ex-girl, if that matters) party for her graduation. As SOON as I got there Stacie pulled me to the side and kept hugging me. I knew that she was completely drunk so I shrugged it off. She told me she loved me. OH god. She kept trying to kiss me, I backed away. She kept trying to just hold me, but I only held her to keep her standing. There were guys there too that were so annoying. The black guy that was sitting next to me also kept annoying me with his eyes wandering and his smart-ass comments. All of them were annoying me actually. Well lets just say that after drinking 3 beers, and watching Stacie puke twice I thought it was about time to leave. The stench of alcohol was giving me a headache by that time. So we left, drove all the way back down to my house and crashed after taking a long shower. 3:00 im the morining, I finally laid down. *BUZZ, Buzz* Alarm goes off at 5:00 AM and I get up to start getting ready for Cedar Point. So, get to cedar point at like 9:30 am. Ride the Power Tower twice ride Magnum, Millenium force, and all the other greats. My feet were killing me, my shoulders wer sunburned, it was horrible, and to think that I even walked miles the day before at PrideFEST too. I was feeling like shit with no sleep, no energy. It was fun though. I enjoyed every minute of it, especially the new crotch rocket game they have in the back, geez, those things are hard to steer, but I still got first! I am a natural, I tell ya. So, we left Cedar point about 9:00 and get back to my house at 12:30. Fall asleep at about 1:30 and wake up at 7:00, wasnt that lovely. And here I am, tired as all get-up at work, typing ever so slow on this damn keyboard. Im so tired that objects I focus on merge together.

However, I have to be thankful that a photgrapher just came in here (at work) and said he wanted to set up a consultation because I look like I should be a model. HA HA HA. Ill do it anyways, you know I will. But it was weird, he didnt like outright say he was a photographer, Justen asked him. And he was standing half across the room, until I asked him to sign his John Hancock for me. And I kinda recapped thier conversation in my head and I said, oh your a photographer, and he said, yes. I was like thats cool. He said, actually I could have 3-4 bites immediatly on you. For what I was thinking. He said, youd be a perfect model if you add 2 inches. I took offense, but also took the compliment. Hes like, Id really like to work with you, heres my number, call me tomarrow actually, and we'll set up a consultation. So I laughed, but you know Ill show for the consultation. lol. anyways, Im going to jet, my tired little self needs to go home and sleep. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz..........
