Camping in a Different Way

I was supposed to camping with some of my friends. However, we did experience some difficulties.
It rained all morning on the day we were supposed to go. We decided to tough it out and go to the camp site. When we arrived it was still raining pretty hard, but we thought it would blow over. We would set up the tent and come back later. However, when we went to set up the tent, the only place big enough to fit it was suddenly a lake of water. When we checked the weather and found that it was supposed to storm all night, we figured it probably wasn't worth it. In the end, we camped out in my friend's living room. It wasn't exactly what we had planned, but it was still a ton of fun.

Camping

I going camping soon and as a first time camper I am a little nervous. I like to be outside and do adventurous things, but I have never been camping. I know a lot of people go camping and nothing ever happens, but then you hear those stories on the Today show about the guy that was attacked by a bear. I'm sure everything will be fine, but you never know.
I know it will be fun and I will be with experienced campers, but if you don't hear back from me in a month... well something might be up. Wish me luck!

Summertime

I am currently sunk in a leather chair that I have spent the past week sitting in. While at volleyball camp two weeks ago I badly sprained my ankle causing me to be on crutches for two weeks. For all of the lucky people who have never been on crutches, after two days it is no longer fun to swing around on them.

late nights...even earlier mornings

as much as i want to tell myself that im "going to bed early tonight so that im not tired in the morning when i have to wake up at 6am for work", it never fails that im still up passed 11 every night...i cite this entry as example #1 that i cant follow through with self-discipline.
youd think my being tired in the AM would cause me to want to go to bed earlier...but i dont.
i get side tracked, by the dumbest of things: myspace, facebook, youtube, saabusa.com, aol...oh yeah and this lovely site too. i dont know, its weird to me that all of that seems to be more important than getting rest, which i desperately need. anyone else ever feel the same way? (and sorry Sue and Jen for not using any puncuation at all, its late:P)

New Restaurant in Town!

Tonight I went to dinner at The Thai House, a new restaurant on Market Street. I had a fabulous duck that was in a mango sauce - yum! And the decor is absolutely amazing; it feel really realistically Thai! So if you want a unique and delicious meal, go try it.

Lions and Tigers and Pianos, Oh My!

Any Southeasterners have opinions on that fancy new Steinway you're getting?

When I picture the board's meeting in which they decided to buy a $97,000 piano, it goes a little something like this...

Adventures in New York

The cabin we stayed in was supported by cinder blocks and sticks. Enough said. I tried to walk straight and I ended up running into the wall on the far side. There were two tiny beds, a minifridge, and a bathroom twenty feet away. The spiders were as big as me.

Next time we go to New York, I'm staying with my grandparents. It was my cousin's graduation and everyone was in the house, so my family rented out a cabin by Lake Ontario. The website explained the view and how nice it was to stay in such a quaint place. I will never believe the internet again.

My latest :)

As most of you know, I quite enjoy drawing, and my latest self-assignment was to artistically tackle this season American Idol's Jason Castro....Here's how he turned out :)
