Another Trip!

So, after a long hiatus ( I can't imagine what distracted me, possibly a little something called 'school'), I am posting to say that I'm off on another adventure. This time I am not going too far from home; instead, I am going to Elk River to camp for 3 weeks. I am unbelievably excited for this. I get to hang out with all my old camp friends and meet brand new ones, too!

Road Trip Diary, Pt. 1

I'm all packed and leaving! I'll miss you all. But although the trip is to Savannah, I think my favorite part may just be Nashville. After spending my whole life utterly despising country music, I'm starting to like it. Just not mainstream. *Shudders* I still despise Carrie Underwood and Gretchen Wilson and Taylor Swift and all of them. But some of the alt- and indie country is pretty decent. Plus I'm a sucker for Johnny Cash and also bluegrass.

Mini-rant over, I will be purchasing as many Elvis bobbleheads/magnets/keychains/anything as I can find and handing them out as souveniers. My dream is to find a singing cactus, possibly in a snowglobe, but that's unlikely, seeing as I'm not going to Texas.

That reminds me, my next trip will totally be to Austin, possibly to see SXSW. Anyone want to come with me? (this offer is obviously open only to those who actually know me, not random internet creepers/blogstalkers)

Also, the reason Corey hasn't posted in so long is because she is in Argentina! She called me today and said that everything was find a dandy and I am trying to encourage her to post.

But yeah. Peace out, yo!

Summer Driving!

Summer is here! And Corey got her license! So yeah, total amazingness here. But there is one problem with driving with Corey: her sister.
As much as I love her, riding with the little girl is so annoying. When Corey is about 100 ft from a stoplight, going about 40 mph, Casey starts screaming her head off "Corey, stop! Corey, oh my God, stop!"
Like she doesn't see her slowing down. Like she'll just drive right through the four or so cars ahead of us.

Anyway, that was on my mind. But in more exciting news, I am going on a road trip! Road trips are exciting, but also very expensive, I am learning. More news to come later. I may even do on the road posts!

Sun

So yeah. I haven't posted in a long time, as Corey reminds me every day. But since then, I have learned a valuable lesson.

When you're nearly half Irish, don't let the anyone convince you that it's okay to go lay in the sun for two hours with no sunscreen. Because right now my skin is bright red. And in pain. And the lotion I put on it smells really bad.

And the moral of this story? I burn. Really badly.

Just thought I would share that insight with you.

Also, I was going to post a picture of a lobster on here, just to show how red I am, but then I realized how hideous lobsters are and how I don't want to see one every time I log on. So instead...
Nice, right?

Jake thinks he has a sense of humor.

Just kidding. I think it's funny and kind of cute. And plus Jake has not visited our blog yet. Maybe he will now that he thinks he has contributed.

Two Epic Stories From My Day

So... I got a few stories to tell.

Today, I took my license test. And GUESS WHO PASSED?????

The kid before me. I ran a stop sign which I guess is an automatic fail. It's really not my fault though. They should make better stop signs in Chaska. Haha. The examiner was really cool about it though. He was kind of laughing at me though. He was like "Did you even see that stop sign back there?" And I'm like "What stop sign?" And the stupid part about this was that it was a railroad crosswalk. EPIC FAIL.

I also knocked over a cone while parallel parking. I should just not be allowed to drive heavy machinery. EVER! Maybe it's good he failed me. I'd be like a complete menace to society.

The second story was told to me by my friend Sarah who is really cool.

So anyway, her sister's friend's brother's friend (this is starting to sound made up, i know), well, he found a glass bottle and labeled it "My Soul." Then he sold it on E-bay for $15.

I must say now that whoever this sister's friend's brother's friend is, he is officially my hero.

Who would even by it? That is such a horrible thing to sell/buy. And for $15. What a gyp.

Okay, so let me end with a question. If you bought a $15 jar labeled "My Soul," what would YOU do with it?

Public Safety Warning.

Yeah. Don't do any of the these things.

You will get electrocuted and probably die.
