Tunes:"Always Be My Baby" by Mariah Carey

Hmmm well I haven't had a real update in a while...Last Saturday I went to Sandy's for a Labor Day-type thing, that was fun. I brought my net and killing jar and everyone was helping me find bugs. Sandy and Vicki kept pointing out bugs, and Ricky, Brandon and Caitlin all helped me catch some. Brandon, Cait and I caught this big-ass cicada killer, that was sweet. It was funny b/c we were all scared of this damn bug...it's pretty much like a 3-inch long wasp with a giant stinger...anywho, Cait and I left early to go to the Jimmy Eat World concert. The first band that went on, Swiss Army, sucked, and the second band (Paris, Texas) was good but I didn't know anything by them so it got old after a few songs. JEW was good, but they played A LOT of new stuff that I didn't know...but hey it was only $15, can't go wrong there...
Cait spent the night Saturday, we got pokey stix and played SceneIt, which is an awesome game by the way...Sunday we got up and went to Panera. The plan was to go see Harry Potter at the IMAX, but apparently the IMAX movies are on a buffed-up schedule and the last day they showed it was Saturday...if we had known we would have gone then! But it was OK, b/c we saw Napoleon Dynamite instead and I loved it! After the movie we stopped at Urban Outfitters and I got a cute tank top and skirt for only $30...yay. And I can wear the skirt with my fairy costume! (For Halloween, I don't plan on randomly running around dressed like a fairy...) Then we stopped at Media Play, Cait got a bunch of CD's and I got Pocahontas and Fox and the Hound...they were having a Disney sale gimme a break...
Yeah...so Monday I went to the Renaissance Fest w/ Kaytee...I love that place so much! And Kaytee used to work there, so we hung out w/ her friends the Pirates and thieves and the King...odd combo I guess, but it was fun. I bought 2 sweet rings, and a flower garland thing for my hair (also good for the fairy get-up)...good times. It was kinda sad though b/c I won't see her until at least January b/c she's going to SCOTLAND!!! So jealous...lol she is so going to love it there, I hope she comes back!
Nothing too exciting happened during the week...classes and what-not...my LBS 347 class seems pretty sweet. It's super-long name is "Advances in Applied Biology: An Apprenticeship in MSU's Cystic Fibrosis Research Lab." So I should be a cystic fibrosis expert pretty soon...fun stuff.
Thursday I just hung out at the house. I watched Joey and The Apprentice, and a few new scholars came and we had a chat. Sidor and I were talking by the mailboxes and all of a sudden I was like "Ooh that's a cool bug!" And I bent down and caught this clear-greenish cricket-like thing. This class is turning me into a freak...But I was kinda disappointed b/c I thought Sidor said Cody was coming up tonight, but I think he prolly said tomorrow. Seein' as I haven't seen either one of them like all day, plus tomorrow's the first home football game... So maybe I'll actually do something fun tomorrow for a change. That would be just super, I am so insanely bored right now and it's Friday night! WTF?! Rachel's spending the night, but she didn't want to go to the bar b/c she's tailgating and going to the game tomorrow. But Jay said something about going to the bar this weekend, so hopefully that will work out. OMG I miss Dana and Des so much right now!! LOL oh yeah and I'm pissed, I came back from QD and not only did someone take my parking spot (I don't have an official spot, but I have 2 spots I like to park in) but there was not one spot in the whole fucking parking lot!!! So I'm totally blocking like 4 cars in where I parked, but they'll just have to deal with it, or come tell me to move my damn car and maybe I will. I think everyone knows which car is mine, it is the only orange one...
All right, I'm out, maybe I'll pop in a movie or something...
~Peace~

And it's 1:45
And I'm feeling alive
I've got it all
And it's your last call
There's somebody new
And she's better than you
You've been replaced
By a prettier face
So look who's crying now...

Tunes: "We Danced Anyway" by Deana Carter

I have a funny story:
Last night BethAnn and I went to see Vanity Fair (which was good but not excellent...it dragged on at parts). Anywho, when we got home we were walking down the hall and all of a sudden I started shaking my head and spitting on the ground. A bug had flown into my mouth! It was so gross. I looked down and saw a white moth-like creature on the ground, and I was like,"I'm going to get my killing jar!" LOL so I caught it, it was so funny. BethAnn was rolling on the floor laughing. I guess it was kind of a had-to-be-there thing, but we got a good laugh...
Yeah...so tomorrow I guess I'm going to aunt Sandy's for a Labor Day get-together thing. Cait's riding there w/ Grandma, and I'll be taking her back here with me I suppose. And then at 8:00 is the Jimmy Eat World concert!! Should be fun, I'm not sure if anyone else is with them, but it's at the Wharton Center, which is pretty weird. That's where they have like Broadway shows and orchestras and what-not. It's pretty small too, our seats are really crappy. But oh well, I'm over it. Then we're going to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban at the IMAX theater Sunday, and then heading home. And I really have to search for my Physiology book, I cannot find it anywhere and it's pissing me off...Gunther and Bieniek both want to buy it from me, and I really want to sell it b/c I need the money. It's really frustrating b/c I know I still have it, I have the accompanying book and CD-ROM but I just can't find the textbook!! So hopefully it will turn up soon...
HAHA today I got another postcard from Shannon. The first one was from Rory (Shannon wrote for him while he was driving), and it was hilarious! Then the second one was from Shannon, and the one today had a pic of Joey Lawrence on it! It's so funny, it looks like it's from the "Blossom" days, and in the first line she said,"Here's some eye candy for you that I found in Beverly Hills!" It's great...well I guess I'll go finish unpacking, I have been here for over a week...
~Peace~

Never did I mean to
Imprison you
Here in my garden
Like I am in prison
For the love I have for your life
For the love I have for your life
Turn around...
~"Running Through the Garden" by Fleetwood Mac

Well let's see...my classes so far have been all right. Definitely some interesting ones...my Spy Teach professor was naming us off as we came into the classroom yesterday. She said she had our "secret dossiers" and that some of us seemed to be in disguise. THis one guy came in late and didn't realize what she was doing, and she said,"Jared? Your hair used to be longer, and you didn't have glasses." He looked around and was like,"You just scared the shit out of me!" It was funny... Then in my entomology lab we were told we had to collect specimens of insects over the semester. We had to check out a butterfly net, a spreading board to help pin winged insects, and a "killing jar." He recommended we should carry the killing jat around with us in case we see anything interesting on the way to or from class. Yeah...and I had to walk home carrying this gay net, looking like a douchebag... Luckily we got done early, b/c normally I would just walk to my next class from the lab, and I was very grateful I didn't have to bring it to genetics w/ me. But tomorrow we're going on a "field trip" to look for bugs and he said we might want to bring our nets w/ us. I DON'T THINK SO! Maybe, just maybe, if I get done w/ Spy Tech early and have time to come home, but I'm not bringing that damn net to another class. I have, however, been carrying my killing jar in my backpack...
Then last night I went to a meeting for the Honors Option for Genetics. What's this, you say? Lazy-ass MaryBeth doing more work than necessary? That's ludicrous! Well, it's an out-of class sort of seminar thing, and one of the sessions is about DNA analysis and forensics, and since that's what I want to do with my life, I figured I'd check it out. Last night was just the informational meeting, and I think I'm going to do it. We have to attend a certain number of 2-week sessions (We would just meet 2 Tuesday nights in a row), but I can't go to the first session b/c the Fleetwood Mac concert is on the second Tuesday of the session. So that's definitely more important, I think. I should probably buy tickets for that, btw. Maybe if I ever get any money...I need to buy my Genetics book first b/c I have homework due on friday...how sad is that, I can't afford to do my homework.HA. Well I guess I'm gonna go now, I have class..yippy

~Peace~

1. Couldn't sleep last night.
2. Couldn't drink my mocha in class due to leaking cup.
3. Drove to Jeanie's to drop off her key, couldn't find it, therefore wasted a good half hour of my time, only to find the key in my backseat when I got back home.
4. No job yet, and none that look promising as of this afternoon.
5. NO MONEY
6. Walked all the way to Ned's, could only afford one book, still have $300 left to buy (see #5).
7. Credit card declined at Blockbuster. (Although I think it was just their machine acting up, I checked my account online)
7. My phone dropped the call twice when I was talking to Cait
8. Oh yeah did I mention I might have LICE?! THANKS A BUNCH CONNOR

So the past couple of days I've been moving into the lovely Evans Scholars house...I drove up Tuesday to my aunt Jeanie's, who I am housesitting for this week. We went to dinner at Houlihan's by the Lansing mall, it was good. Mark's dad came and he's really funny, he kept calling the cat a dog. Their Siamese kitten Gizmo (who is just the cutest thing ever, btw) was laying on top of the TV, and his paw and tail were in front of the screen, and he was like,"The dog's blocking the TV!" LOL it was funny. He corrected himself the first time he called him a dog, but he did it at least 3 times...good stuff
Anywho, I started moving my stuff in Wednesday, we're still in the process as of today (Friday) so hopefully we'll be done by tonight ,or at least Saturday. I had an interview at Galyan's on THursday, I think it went pretty well so hopefully they'll hire me :) Let's see...Wednesday night I ended up hanging out w/ Brendan and some of his friends, we went to a party on BEAL STREET and WALKED...what the hell was I thinking?! I'll tell ya what, I wasn't thinking if I walked that far!!!! So my feet were killing me in the morning...it was fun though, I was a spactator in the great American sport of beer pong, and ended up walking home w/ Alisa and Beef. He was acting like he was cracking his neck on the way home, and it was the grossest thing ever, I thought for sure he was going to break his damn neck, but then he showed us a Tic-Tac container that he was tricking us with...LOL I like all the new scholars I've met so far, although I'm pretty sure I don't even know half of them.
then tonight I just bought a 40 at 7-11 and hung out at the house, there was some beach party on Beal but I wanted nothing to do with it...can't these people find parties that are closer?! Yeah...so I was just hanging out with Becket and Tierney for awhile...they got into a heated political discussion so I kinda zoned out for awhile...but overall it was a good night...and now I am off to bed so I can go home tomorrow...YAY and then DINGA is coming up tomorrow night...should be some good sleazy times

~Peace~

Tunes: "Can't Get My Head Around You" by Offspring

OK so I was looking at the TV Guide thing that we get from our cable company, and I have good news and bad news. The good news is, Degrassi is coming out on DVD. lol we don't have The N with this company (Wow!) so I haven't seen any of the new episodes, it really sucks. I miss Comcast...That's like all I did at the beginning of the summer, watched Degrassi and played The Sims. Now I don't do either one! Anywho, the bad news is: there's a new show called Forensics Academy on Court TV, where they follow students at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Why is it bad? Because some boneheads with better GPA's than me might want to go there now! Bastards...I don't want to go into forensic science b/c of damn CSI, I don't even watch it! I've always been into that, and decided that's what I want to do after falling in love with a CLASS, not a semi-realistic TV SHOW!!!!!!
LOL my mom was just singing "Gotta Keep 'Em Separated" by Offspring. What a nut. She was like,"I like that little song, don't you?" That's great...
~Peace~

Don't know what I was looking for when I went home, I found me alone
And sometimes I need someone to say, "You'll be all right. What's on your mind?"
But the water's shallow here and I am full of fear, and empty handed after two long years

Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it...

Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here
And wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes
There's nothing real for them to see here

~"Back Home" by Yellowcard

Tunes: "Shimmer" by Fuel

So I woke up this morning around 9, got sidetracked by some TV show Connor was watching, and eventually started on my way to the doctor's office. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to stop at Panera before, so I was like OK, I'll do it on the way home. Well my car's been making this rattling noise the past couple of days. I wasn't terribly concerned, I even said to Caitlin yesterday, "Forget the rattle in my car, I'm more concerned about the one in my throat." Well, I have a virus in my throat that doesn't need treatment, but my car broke down today... It was real fun, I was driving down Inkster and the overheating light went on. I was like, aw shit right? I figured I'd go to the doctor's and then bring the car to the dealer. Then all of a sudden the engine light came on and the car was having trouble accelerating. I had to stop at a red llight at Inkster and 10 Mile, and it stalled. When I tried to restart it it was shaking violoently, so I put my hazard lights on and started crying...lol I didn't know what to do so I called my mom. She said she'd come get me. Luckily we both have cell phones so I could tell her where I was. While I was waiting for her a couple people asked if I was OK, and a nice cop came by and pushed me forward so I wasn't blocking traffic. Then I took her car to the doctor and she waited with mine for the towing guy. I have roadside assistance, which was awesome. I stopped at Starbucks on the way back to my car and when I was signing the towing papers I set my mocha on the hood of my car and it fell off and spilled everywhere...great day! The dealership isn't open today or tomorrow though, so I have to wait until Monday to figure out what's wrong with it. Fortunately my mom's on vacation so she can take me to work. We have to leave early today so I can bring Shannon the CD's I made for her. She made me some too, I think we both have four coming to us. Well I guess I should get ready for work...

~Peace~

Don’t worry about me I’m gonna make it alright
Got my enemies cross haired and in my sight
I take a bad situation gonna make it right
In the shadows of darkness I stand in the light
Ya see it’s my style and I’ll keep true
I had a bad year but I got through
I’ve been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She’s not the one coming back for you
She’s not the one coming back for you

If I fall back down
You’re gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down
You’re gonna be my friend

Tunes:"Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac

On another note, I feel like shit. I think I have an upper respiratory problem, but I'm going to the doctor's in the morning to let the professionals deal with it. My throat has been hurting the past few days upon waking, and I started to get this nasty cough last night sometime. Hopefully it will go away b/c I have to work tomorrow and Sunday, and even though it's my last weekend, I don't want to get fired for calling in. Just in case I need a job over Christmas, you know...
I went to the zoo Tuesday with my mom and Caitlin. It was a good time. There were three tiger cubs who would have been more amusing if they were AWAKE, and this super-cute Diana monkey. She was a riot. Ahhh I love the zoo! My mom bought me a pencil lol...
Then Wednesday I drove up to Lansing to look for a job for the fall. I applied at a million different places, so hopefully something will work out. Caitlin came with me, and when we left in the morning Connor and my mom were watching Malibu's Most Wanted. She was cracking up, it was hilarious... Then I had to work Wednesday night, yay.
Thursday Cait and I went to the DIA. I forgot about all the DAMN CONSTRUCTION on...well every highway, apparently. I'm pretty sure there is work being done on every damn highway in Detroit. It sucks. It took us way longer to get there than it should have. I bought a pencil there too...Anywho, after the museum I had my History final. It wasn't as easy as the first one, but I don't see how I could get anything other than a 4.0 in the class. Today Mom took Cait and me shopping. She bought me 5 new shirts! I thought I was going to have a heart attack. They're really cute though, and the most expensive one was 20 bucks, but she never buys me anything anymore. It was a very pleasant surprise.
Oh yeah, so I was watching TV with Connor earlier and there was a commercial for this Kidz Bop CD... What the fuck?! That is so insanely retarded!! Why would I want to hear little kids singing "Hey Mama"? Which IS a song on one of those! Little children should not be singing that! The things they come up with these days...

Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
And that unspoken feeling of knowing
Right now is all that matters
All the nights we stayed up talking
and listening to 80's songs;
quoting lines from all those movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess when it comes down to it...

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart
and eventually you'll finally get it right.

Breaking into hotel swimming pools,
and wreaking havoc on our world.
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The black top's singing me to sleep.
Lighting fireworks in parking lots,
illuminate the blackest nights.
Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky.
2015 Riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye."
Get on the bus, it's time to go.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart,
and eventually you'll finally get it right.
