I remember when I used to be easy. I remember when I used to be hard.

Insightful song lyrics probably quoted incorrectly by Jenna.

Hey
Hi
Howdy

So, ever notice that you can be just dead tired but as soon as you find out you have the day off tomorrow its like instantly ready to stay up all night and either a.) party or b.) comb the internet for anything that will give you a fraction of a second of entertainment. Like me right now. Got today off because it was foggy as birth and it started raining like an angry gnome. Anyway, this is my fraction of a second of entertainment.. and its somewhat productive? Haha when I used to write these things and had an exam to study for or an essay to write I would always just blog and convince myself that I was doing something important.

I always laugh when I come across a music video where the girl is trying to be really sexy with humpy lookin dance moves and wind in her hair. Because most times I just think of the whole crew she had to perform those questionable dance moves in front of. Plus you can usually just read the pain behind her eyes as she tries to hold her eye lids open even though there's 40km/h winds blasting in her face.

The internet. Everything needs a username and a password nowadays. I usually just stay uncreative with both, sticking with either something revolving around my name (joryish, isjory, jorisaurus, ect) or the classic alphabettsoup. And I use the same two passwords for everything too! And I've had them for probably 5 years lol. I remember my very first computer password was Helen. Because that's my Gma's name.

I used to crack my knuckles. For no particular reason. Just did.

Jenna had no idea that Blink 182 had more songs than All the Small Things. So we listened to a whole bunch today.

Moist is a gross word.

Also, went to an appreciation BBQ tonight with my dad & uncles (aka farmers). It was ok, Mom coaxed me and Jenna into it by promising steaks and cute boys (that part for Jenna more than for me haha). We got there and ate hamburgers with a bunch of farmers (half of which were my family). I won a stress cow though :D

I wish people would stop fighting over Beyonce's hair. Like I'm sure she's not the ONLY black woman who could pull off blonde hair. Haha, speaking of her.. back in the day when Goldmember came out, we bought an afro wig and I used to pretend to be her. HAHAHA

Mess

So I donated blood yesterday, first time ever! Can't say it was anything overly special. I went to lloyd with Jen and I spent most of the time sitting in a chair,, waiting for my name to be called. I'm not sure what my mom was talking about when she said "Be prepared for some scary, SCARY questions you have to answer!!!" .. They're only really scary if you have slept with a prostitute or do intervenes drugs or lived in Africa or were born in Mexico.

While I was waiting to get called to start having blood pumped out of me, I noticed something that I've always noticed, but I thought about it differently (my mind was wandering, I'm sorry, it was so boring). Almost everyone that was waiting in the four rows of chairs were spaced at least one chair apart, as if no one wanted to sit beside each other. Maybe they like their personal space, or were worried that they would come across as weird if they  chose a seat that positioned them between two taken chairs instead of two empty ones. Its pretty sad that society has programmed us to think this way. But on the other hand, there was a number of people who seemed to be complete strangers who could just strike up a conversation with each other and carry it through until one of them was called up.

I was surprised at how much it hurt actually, the big needle when it went in. I watched it the whole time and felt perfectly fine through it, but I was only expecting a short prick and instead it felt like a knife. Haha, oh well

Hmm what else can I tell you that won't bore you? I always have all these great ideas for blogs throughout the day, and then I just forget to write them down and their gone, just like that.

Well I guess I could get ready for work.. first day of cutting grass! I'm not really excited. Being a girl out there will be horrible, some of the leases are in the middle of a flat feild with no bush or cover for miles, aka no place to pee haha

When I was around 12 or 13, I was into some pretty lame stuff. I was too old for teddy bears, yet I wouldn't let my mom get rid of ANY of them. They ended up just sitting in a garbage bag at the back of a closet for 7 years until just the other day when we were spring cleaning and mom found them. I told her she could sell all of them. I remember when she actually DID get rid of them and donated them to the Legion Garage Sale in town here. This was back in the day when I made $10/month allowance and $2/hour babysitting. I took a wopping fifteen bucks to the sale and bought all my stuffed animals back. Yea. I bought my own toys with all my savings. Then I didnt even use them haha.

 I only have two left now. One is a monkey, one of five Build-a-Bears that me and my friends all got on Brenna's 14th birthday at West Edmonton Mall. I'm not keeping it because that trip was the best time of my life or anything, more because of the wish that I made on its heart (You know how you have to like kiss a little heart and make a wish on it before you stuff it into your animal at that place? So "special" haha geez.) I wished that me and that group of friends would be friends forever. Haha, I guess all wishes don't come true. Actually, quite the opposite came true and I don't even talk to the two I was closest with back then. And the second one is probably the ugliest one I had. Its a small tiger with thread spaced out to look like fur. Its face isnt even cute haha. Back in the same day when me and my siblings didn't have jobs and only made allowance, my brother came back from Saskatoon with it and gave it to me. It cost him fourteen bucks.

At this point in my life, I also tried things like Nexopia (my mom made me delete it as soon as she found out, I tried really really hard to keep it a secret from her), Myspace, MSN and those board game -computer games that came inside cereal boxes (mostly LIFE but I guess I tried others too haha). But the one that I just can't wrap my head around is the cyber doll dress up one. You picked a body and a face, and then chose shirts and pants or skirts or dresses and just placed them over the body. I made HUNDREDS of those and spend countless hours at the home computer just making different combos. If you know me, I've never been big into fashion ESPECIALLY when I was that age! haha So it boggles me why I was so entertained by that, but moreso, I still scratch my head at how I actually ENJOYED it.

Ever had a Chiapet? I kinda want one.

At my house, we go through probably a jug of milk every day or so. My bro chugs that down like he's getting paid. So when I have to get up and work in the morning, and there's no eggo's, bread or eggs, I usually just grab cereal. Given that most times, Arlee finishes all the milk the night before, I pour a bowl of honeycombs and go to find milk and there is none! So I'm forced to eat a dry bowl of cereal for breakfast, and wash it down with water - not the most appetizing way to start off the day. So this is going to be a blog about creative ways to eat a bowl of milkless cereal.
1. Water
2. Juice
3. Coconut milk
4. Bacon Grease
5. Ice Tea
6. Dr. Pepper
7. Beer
9. Jello
10. Ice
11. Whiskey

So I get the feeling that not one of these would be a good substitute for milk on cereal. Except for maybe Jello. One day I'll make Jello-Cereal Shots and serve them at a party maybe.

Wootwoot Skydreamz "likes" that Status..

Whats happening in my life you ask? Not really much of anything. Just thought I would recap my may long for the record

My hometown crew (minus a few) went camping! We merged with Bryna's crew and had quite alot of fun. And had quite a lot of beers. Unlike last May Long, when we all woke up in the middle of a blizzard, the weather was perfect right up until the last day when everyone packed up and went home.
Things never to forget about this May Long Weekend:
1. Lee turning 19 and being ridiculously drunk, looking after him and helping him use the bathroom hahaha
2. Watching Jenna and Kirstyn swim across the lake and flipping the boat that came to save them
3. The mass fight (literally everyone around me was fighting)
4. Breaking up the mass fight by fighting with Bryna and drawing attention to ourselves hahaha
5. Jenna drunkenly asking the campsite owner to play beer darts with us
6. Riding in the back of Tanners truck, under a tent because we had to relocate
7. Playing tackle football and loosing :(
8. The Hilburg group all fist pumping, drinking beer and singing on top of a lone picnic table in the middle of an open feild
9. Tits out for the Boys (Not what it sounds like haha)
10. All 9 of us in the tent snuggling as close as possible to keep warm at night and all diving out of the tent in the morning because it was so hot. Then conveniently taking a dip in the icy lake shortly after
11. Learning what Case Darts is
12. Only eating burgers for four days straight
13. Cooking those burgers on Kirstyn's tiny gas grill, and flipping them with a melting plastic knife and a Dairy Queen spoon (possibly used?)
14. Tanners repetative playlist that made me sick of I'm Hungover, Farmers Daughter, and Honeybee
15. Earning the nickname Honey Suckle for no reason at all
16. Making Lelelelele catch on
17. MIGHTY DUCKS MIGHTY DUCKS
18. Beersbee
19. Getting repeatedly told to stop swearing so loudly
20. Looking forward to living with Bryna, Kirstyn and Jenna more and more!

And there you have it! My weekend summed up in 20 things.
It kind of reminds me of the song we wrote in grade ten about the long weekend. Theres still a recording of it on my old phone! Yep, it was just us and the guy from the Northern Pikes.

There's a medal that I dont deserve hanging on my bulletin board.

Why Do People Make Music Video's out of SIMS on Youtube? It looks dumb.

Sixth time's a charm! Hopefully.. Let's see if I can finally get through this blog. It's only going to get longer if I procrastinate more. 

Ok, so what can I tell you about my second semester in university? Well, it started out SUPER FUN, turns out my work load for the second half of the year was about half the size of the one before, and I fully took advantage of that. EVERY WEEKEND for the first two months, I went out and did something. I think I only sat and studied for a total of two weekends before finals finally put my partying to rest for a month. I hope Future Jory will remember the trip to Fish&Game dance we went to in Blaine Lake (Actually it was in Leask, but Blaine Lake is so much cooler because that's where Polly Wilson died.) We took the Death Trap up there, it completely iced over all the windows, we had maybe 30% visibility haha. We ALL wore plaid and two stepped all night, Dan stole a duck from one of the tacky candle stick holders and I pulled drink tickets for a bunch of friends given that they were all still too young :(. lol We went to a house party after that and decided it was too lame (actually we got kicked out but whatever.) so we went back to Farkys house where we were staying, but not before Bryna could puke out the door instead of in the bucket she was holding (:S haha) and narrowly avoiding getting pulled over by the cops, although the boys did! Anyway we had a great night, and learned an important lesson; Baby Duck is a horrible idea. 

Just thought I should add that in the morning we had races sliding down the stairs haha 

Other weekends included our "Fancy" bar night where the Fab Five all wore dresses (I know, someone should have been taking pictures because it might be some time before that ever happens again haha). That was fun, except that we decided to go to Tequilla's which was a horrible idea, I hate that bar, its so awful. And none of us thought to bring coats, even though it was -30 that night. We thought we would walk to Outlaws, which is ONLY five blocks away. Haha luckily a cab full of creepies picked us up after half a block and we got a free lift, and some guy gave me his jacket while we were waiting in line haha. A few other bar nights that were fun.

In January we also went to Wilkie to play in a volleyball tourney! It was a pretty good time, made some new friends and got to catch up with old ones like Jordan, Lee, Tanner and Thad. We even ended up getting second place! How the hell that happened I will never know haha. Slept over at Brynas house, but not before having a big heart to heart with Brandyn and blowing off Thad and Lee who were lost and got pulled over haha. 

Uh, lets see, what else happened.. There was a res luow .. I just have no idea how to spell that word. But it was lots of fun, everyone dressed up in shorts and their shower flip flops haha. We went home for a couple of weekends here and there and man it seemed like we went to the bar every time, and its not that I dont like hanging out with my friends, but I just got so sick of bars after a while, I just wanted to hang out in someones basement and talk about whats been going on in our lives. 

Finals went good, some of my final marks even boosted my grades! I came out with a lower average than I wanted but oh well, 86 IN ENGLISH!!! haha Just made my whole day when I finally saw my marks. Moving out of res was different, I can't believe I'll never be going back there again. It was so handy being right beside everything and being able to nap at any time of the day. Oh well, I am STOKED to be living with three of my best friends in the fall. The house is beautiful, minus its faulty deck haha but that can be covered up with some patio lanterns, because what doesnt get better when you add patio lanterns to it? Right. Nothing. haha 

And now here I am back at home after all that. I thought that maybe I would be bored here, but I haven't really even got to sit down since I got back! I wasted so much time in university passing up offers to play sports or do things with my friends in anticipation of studying, and then I would'nt get around to it, so it basically was just time that was wasted. Anyway, I promised myself I wouldn't waste a moment this summer since last summer was kind of a bust. Since I got back, I've taken up Fusion, Adult Volleyball, and community soft ball, plus a job, plus work at the farm. So I'm booked solid all week until Friday. Which is nice, I get weekends off, or whatever off if I want. 

My summer job hasn't really gotten hard yet. Its actually pretty ridiculously easy. Take today for example. I "practiced" driving tractor all day. Which I already knew how to do from discing for the past two summers. Anyway, yea, I drove tractor from 9:30 - 2:30 and then I came home. Thats including a lunch break. haha. 

Uh anyway, this post really isn't my usual style, no random thoughts ect, but I thought I'd just get this one over with so I can do other ones. It's done now! WOOO

I am bruised and scraped and cut up.
