Flyin' Solo

Well that really was easy! Hahah, I took the drivers test yesterday, and got a grand total of two points off because I crossed the line into the invisible oncoming traffic. But I do that all the time, no biggy. xP

And here I am, all excited. See my cheesin smile?
And then, to celebrate my victory (okay, really it was just to have fun), I drove me n Audrey n Cece to The Great Frederick Fair. Where we had a blast hanging out with a whole hullabaloo of people, and running into more as we ran around for five (six?) hours. Then I drove us, and some extras, home. Sadly, this is the only picture I have from the fair.
See, so sad....only picture....-sigh-.

Bit o Crazy

No you see the trouble with poet is how do you know it's deceased....sorry, I'm watching Sweeney Todd, and that brings the possibility of random Olivia singing.

So let us see, what's new in good 'ole Olivia Universe? Hmm...dance started two weeks ago. This year I'm doing Musical Theater and Jazz. Hip-Hop was fun, but I'm enjoying Jazz and MT so much more. I have the same teacher as last year (for both classes!), which makes me uber happy. If I'm lucky enough I'll get her next year for Jazz and MT as well. I'm also training to run a half marathon. I admire those people who run a full marathon, but I just don't think I could run for that long, because, stamina aside, I'd get bored. Two hours, give or take a couple of minutes, is long enough for me. Ooo! And I go in for my drivers test on the 19th, woo-hoo! Then I cruise. Or, ya know, if I'm driving the stick, I lurch. Anyway, I'm excited. Though most everyone seems to fear it, but that's just because I'm "irresponsible".

This weekend we're farm sitting for Danielle and Co., should be pretty fun. Mom and I are going to spend some of tomorrow watching poor, nervous, sweaty teenagers take the drivers test up at the DMV, cause the best way to learn is through watching others mistakes. Tonight I go see The Dark Knight again, cause I love that movie and I pretty much demand all my friends see it on the big screen.

By the sea!! Don't you love the weather!! By the sea, we'll grow old together! Hahah, I love that song. And that red candy cane lookin' dress she wears is FABULOUS!!!! I want one. Actually, pretty much I want her and all of her outfits. Him too. It should be against the law to have so much beautiful in one movie. Actually, it shouldn't, cause then I'd be sad.

And that was my bit o crazy kickin' in.

Hmm...I think I am done. Not sure, I probably have more news, but I can't remember it, and I'll just keep typing it until I do and any poor readers that are reading this will have a lot to read, so I shall be done...after this. No, I'm not going to sing, I'm just gonna write that I had received my second holes. They're oh so snazzy.

Sigh

What's a girl to do when her favorite tv show gets pulled? Stargate Atlantis was canceled a couple of days ago, so once this season is over I guess my Friday nights will be free (but who knows, I just might sit in front of the tv from 10-11 making up a show as I go). Luckily, they're going to make a movie (or two), so at least I'll have that little piece of the pie. So long friend.

On another note, I get my license in two weeks, or maybe three, but either way it's soooooon. And then!!!! I'll be able to drive myself to work, dance, and soccer. Well, work once I get a job anyway. Sheetz has yet to call me about my application, and I have yet to turn in my application to The Common Market (see how productive I am on my job hunt?). But I'm not rushing, we're going to the beach at the end of September so I figure if I don't get one what's it matter cause then I know for sure I'll have off the entire week.

So uh, yeah, I think that's it. I can't think of anything else to say....hmm.....nope, nothing comes to mind. Ain't it crazy how I can go on and on in person, but you put me behind a computer screen and I'm like "......" Hmm...

Yay!

After a year and a half (give or take a couple of months) I'm getting to see my rarely seen cousin Kayla. As little kids we were more like sisters, the older sibling I don't have. As we grew up things in our lives changed and we grew apart, but whenever she comes into town I love the chance to hang out with her. Tonight is that chance, it's a little after eleven now and she'll be her in about two hours, and tomorrow we'll go down the creek. Sadly, I don't have any pictures from the past years to show you because I don't have printer that works to scan in the old pictures and my pictures of pictures just didn't turn out. I'll have it be known, we were very cute. Course, we still are, but we were cute in that little kid cute way. (: Anyhoo, I am off now to make a cup o joe cause I need to be awake still in two hours.

List of UpDates, 'Cause I'm too lazy to do anything more complex

Just a couple of updates.

1) I made it home fine.

2) I had my wisdom teeth cut out on Monday. For the first couple of days my face was, like, a zillion and a half times bigger than it normally is, but now the swellings gone down and it's only about twice the size. The stitches come out on Monday and I'm hoping the swelling will go down even more then. But for now, I shall run around the house looking like a chipmunk. -Imagine dramatic sigh here-

3) Charlotte's here! We've been wanting to host an exchange student for several years now, and finally we had the time to host one. I haven't spent much time with her (preferring to hide in my room with my aching mouth), but the little bit of time I have spent with her I really like her. She's quiet (which is funny considering none of us our), but she's also outgoing, not afraid to ask questions and say what she wants. I'm looking forward to spending the next month with her.

4) I turned sixteen about a week ago and Nic turned fifteen. I don't really feel any different than fifteen, I definitely don't feel sweet. xP

5) We're not moving to my Grandparents house anymore. Instead we're going to move....somewhere else. Don't know where yet. I'm rooting for Vancouver, B.C. but I'm thinking it'll be somewhere closer to....well, here.

6) ....Actually, I don't think I have a sixth update....WAIT!!! YES I DO!!! And it's the most exciting. Stargate Atlantis starts in Two Weeks, Three Hours, and 14 Minutes!!! :D I'm so very excited!!! If you couldn't tell.

Okay, that really is it.

White Water Rafting

Is totally righteous, I am not kidding you. Well, it's totally righteous if you don't mind getting soaking wet and/or falling out of your raft.

Ya know, it's a funny thing falling out of rafts. Take my Aunt for example, I kept telling her it was going to be her, that if any of us went it would have to be her. Why? Mostly to antagonize her. :D Turns out I was right though, and it makes for some good laughs. Watch this clip I made of my poor Aunt, who is at this present moment, my favorite form of entertainment.

Sorry there's no music, I'm not home and don't have my full library of music. I had wanted to use Evanescence's Going Under, but like I said, I don't have my full library of music, so alas. I find it hilarious, course maybe you have to be there and know the chick to think it's funny.

Anyhoo, that was my Tuesday evening. Probably one of the best times I've had since I started my trip. And now I get to go home and turn sixteen, and then get my wisdom teeth out. Ooo, and our exchange student shows up....the same day I get my teeth out.

Done With The Greyhound

Here I am, finally, in Colorado, after some 24+ hours on the Greyhound. Let me say that is an experience I will never forget. By no means a bad experience, but most definitely an interesting one. Most of the people seemed to be on the poorer side of Life, so they gave off a different vibe then those on the planes. There were definitely some creeps, but there were also some really nice people and I enjoyed talking to them. Luckily for me, I had pulled an all nighter Sunday night 'cause I had gone baking with Diana and then just stayed up and packed, which made it a lot easier for me to fall asleep in those uber uncomfortable seats. Of course, I was so tired I ended up hallucinating that I was having a conversation via text....and in the end I still didn't get very much sleep, about six hours or so in all, but it was enough for me to smile for this picture.
My Aunt and cousin were waiting for me when I got off and they whisked me off back to their house. I spent the rest of the day running around with my cousin, and then chilling at the house. I'm too tired to do much of anything. We'd been talking about going to the rodeo but it looked like it was going to rain so we nixed that idea.

I'm not sure what we have planned for while I'm here, probably just hanging out. My other Aunt and Uncle are going to be picking me up on Sunday, and I have a full week planned with them so maybe I'll just chill out while I'm here.

On a final note, despite how I acted, I was loathe to leave Corvallis and my homepeople there. I'm gonna miss the area, it had a sweet vibe to it. Be warned Corvallis, I have more then half a mind to come out for an extended stay (somewhere along 3-4 months).
Peace, and Goodnight.
