I feel like I am back at Summerscape or DLA. It is amazing here and I am so excited that I got to come and feel that old camp feeling again. It was something that was lacking from the last 3 summers. I have met some really amazing people and it is only the 3rd day. I keep thinking about how I can apply what I am learning here to my life at TA's back at in Columbia but all I can think about is how I don't like my boss. I don't know if I am ever going to to get over him but I think for the sake of my last year there and being the leader that I am I need to suck it up for just one more year. I really want to make TA Brady's fun again and I think I can do that by just applying things that I am learning to my life there. But all in all I am so glad that I got to travel over here and be with such wonderful people. I have got a chance to really look into myself and try and figure out who I am and how I interact with other people, as well as modeling the things I do after other people in my life. I keep thinking of people back home and how I learn things from there each and everyday. It is really easy to just bypass people and not know what you are learning from them. But I think for at least the next few weeks I am going to really be able to loook around and see what I am modeling after other people and what others model from me. But anyway I better get going. I am going to be sad to leave on Thursday but very glad to finally get back to Columbia and get ready for my last year of my undergraduate education.

I have made a huge mistake. Alcohol and text messages can really get you in trouble. Someone should take my phone away from me after a set number of drinks. Now I have possibly ruined something amazing. I really hope he calls me today so I can explain......

Hola internet world! So guess what...I bought a new car! Well it is new to me at least.... It is so nice! Acura Legend.... My old Grand Am just needed to much work to be able to keep it any longer. I thought I would be at least a little sad but you know not really. I love my new car so much. It kind of sucks that I have to have car payment again but I am making enough money to do that so all is well. Here is a picture

It reminds me of Chelsea's car but newer. By the way Chelsea's wedding was so nice! I am not sure if I have talked about that yet but it was amazing. And guess what else...I am going to Silver Dollar City this weekend! It is Patrick and Andrew's one year anniversary and it is only necessary for us to go back to where it all started. Kind of funny that it is at SDC but oh well....gotta start somewhere.

So my 4th of July weekend and day were wonderful. I went camping with my family including my aunt Anita and uncle Ray, Bochie and Papa, and some of my cousins. It was such a nice weekend and were at a really nice campgound. I got to swim and lounge around all weekend and I think I am actually a little more tan. OMG and Goldie my dog from home was so funny. She would swim out to my dad, who was on a raft, and then just sit in my dad's lap half in the water. It was so hilarious because she didn't even try to move off. I could not stop laughing because it looked so funny. Then monday I bought my car and drove back to CoMO. I got back just in time to got celebrate David's Birthday at Tellers then on to Arch and Columns. I really love that club! Karoke 3 times a week and a really fun atmosphere. Thank to to Patrick and Erin for introducing us. HaHa. I didn't drink but everyone else was so drunk it was great.

Yesterday was also fun. It started out at Waffle House then back home to get pick up Erin, then to Walmart to by fabric for Erin's "4th of July" dress. Meghan made it was it was hilarious. I will have pictures of that later. Then we headed to my friend Q's house. Hung out for a while and then off to Juanita's. After that we headed back to the brothel and walked up the the turner ave garage to watch the fireworks at the stadium. Always nice to see some fireworks. It is not the same as being by the river and setting them off like I have done in my past. After that we went back home and sat outside and ate some hotdogs and carrot cake. It was nice just talking with everyone that was there.

So I think I am going to head down to springfield on the 18th to go the DLA reunion. I reallly miss that camp and I would love to see Cat Atomic again. I can't believe that they are actually coming back. That was my last year of DLA and it was so rememerable. I really want to be an RA next summer. I am determined to do as much stuff with kids in the next year so they can't refuse me.

By the way I think I going to be a PRISM cordinator. That is a youth LGBT group for Mid-Missouri. It should be very rewarding and enjoyable experiece. Plus I will get all my volunteer work done for the entire year. Also this will be invaluable experiece to add to my resume. Loves it....

Well I think that is enough updating for a little while. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

I was reading some xanga's today and I suddenly got very sad. I don't think anyone knows how much I wanted to be an RA at summerscape. 3 of my friends are there right now and I don't think I have even been so jealous. I knew I wanted to have that job ever since I was a camper back in 1996.... Oh well I guess it just was not meant to be. I would have never gotten this internship with Dr. Peterson. But really the only thing that I wanted this summer was to be with those kids and help them the way that I was helped at that camp....blah..well I guess i will stop bitching about it. The only thing I can do is just try next year.

So anyway...let me see...what else has been going on....Not to much really. I have been working and chillin' down town and renting lots of movies at 9th street video. I think we have been in there every night the past few weeks. I am really loving having time to read and work out everyday. The Rec Center in the summer is amazing! I can always get the good machines and seriously there are no more than 6 people on the cardio machines at a time. It is awesome.

Oh and I wanted to congratulate my friend Jenny for getting into the PT school!!! I am so happy for her!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow PATRICK!!! I don't know if we can top last year but we will sure try!

And last but certainly not least, I want to shout out to my friend Drew. He is having some hard times but I wish him the best. Love you sweetie~

good god I am slacking on this whole xanga thing. I just don't use my computer near as often in the summer compared to the school year. I really need to do some reading but I am so lazy.....

Summer is here and I have a new computer! I can't believe it. I have an iBook G4 and I love it. It is so cute and wonderful. All I have to do now is get some music on this puppy and I am ready to go. I went back to Springfield from Saturday until Wednesday. I really love going home sometimes. I just wanted to stay for awhile and be with people I don't see very often. I am going to try and come home as much as I can this summer. I want to see Johnny's new place "The Manor" freshly painted and full of fun people.

Anyway, I go back to work tomorrow and I am sad. It is never going to be the same now that all my fun coworkers have left. Now all we have is the lame peple that Mark thinks are cool. And we all know how Mark is no judge of character. He is an idiot. I think that I am going to love working as an intern with my Nutrition professor. It will be such a change for the better. I am slowly going to quit TA Brady's before the end of the summer i just know it. I am so tired of working there and I know I will not be able to handle it next year. 9 new employees!?!?! If anyone that reads this needs a job I am willing to hire anyone that I know!! I am serious. I don't want anymore stupid people working at my job. On a lighterr note. I am going to get to see Jason on Friday. That is exciting!
