All I know is all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on
Gah I am so freaking emotional right now. For so many freaking reasons. I should be excited because I can walk again, but no I am sitting here crying for so many reasons.
I am seriously going through so much right now

Saturday:: I went out to Scott pool to see the Allstar meet and Marlana. We hung out there and then I had to go to Sean's house for a pit practice. This should be an interesting year thats all I am gonna say about that. Then I went to work. My fave attendend Ben Matt was there and two of my favorite guards Jake and Brandyn. Beb and I just talked for awhile making fun of everything. Then Ben and Brandyn saved the day. I had dropped some cards under the platform thing and they were stuck between it and the wall and I couldn't get them. So Ben and Brandyn lifted up the platform and I jumped in the hole on my one foot and got the cards then Mrs. Bold caught us and told the boys I couldn't be jumping in there so Brandyn slid down it while Ben held it up and and I perched on the wall. After some finangling it was put back nice. Then Brandyn and I played SPIT! for awhile we are very aggressive and loud when we play. Then Ben came back and we played Egyptian Ratscrew because the pool wasnt very busy. Then Justin was giving us free food and Ben runs back with the french fries pan. He rounds the corner with this big smile on his face and yells guys a i got some fries. Mrs. Bold is right there he just lowered the pan and was like hey Becky. It was great. After work I was forced to go watch the crocodile slide show I was in in 5 times and I havent swam since I was 8 and they were all from then blah. I just hung out with Dan the entire time.
Sunday:: Church, then laid around all day. Band camp starts tomorrow blah

We were in class when the headmaster came in, followed by a 'new boy', not wearing the school uniform, and a school servant carrying a large desk. He wondered what Hurst was referring to when he said that Victor was not a ''white knight''. "Cold?" he asked. Jack didn't seem to need any further urging. And a tall boy can stop the wind so a candle of hope can burn bright.

This time last month I was in Italia <3 I wish I was back there. The last time I updated was Tuesday and that was a short update. I ended up not working (long story) the short version is I got screwed out of 4 hours blah. That night I went to Jake's party. I saw/talked to people I haven't for awhile. It was a good time. Wednesday I worked the first shift not much excitement but we were extremely busy. That night I went to championships to see Marlana. I hung out with her and mike who I hadnt seen forever. Mike and I talked all night and just clicked like we hadnt not seen each other for two years. So he came out with marlana and me after the meet to starbucks. It was a good time. The old man talking to me and giving me ads. Today I went and saw Hello Dolly! at the Benedum center. It was all right like the singing/dancing were outstanding I just didnt like the whole plot thing. I have come to the conclusion that standing ovations are totally overrated. Everyone gets one now. What happened to giving them to the truly outstanding performances. I mean our band gets them thats telling you something. And ya every concert I have been in has gotten them in times we havent deserved one. I mean the worst was the scholar athlete thing where the bball team got one for the slideshow thing blah anyways its 12:30 and I need sleep

Music: Juanes
Nothing much has been happening. I got my splint off yesterday which was great. 2 more weeks and I can walk. You never really value walking on two feet until you've been on crutches. Saturday was Kelly's party. It was fun Danny and I had a very competitive game of spit. I seriously love that boy he is so funny. Later everyone went out front and we all watched the ingram days fireworks (there werent many blue fireworks so we know what that means ha ha) The guys were shocking themselves all night with this game thing danny brought that was disturbing ((kneepit)) Today I have to work for John and then I am going to Jakes party. This was short but theres not much going on and I need to dry my hair

Yesterday was very fun. It was a much needed night out. I worked 4-8 and then Julie and Chrissy came down the pool and met up with me and Sarah and we drove out to Brewsters. Abbey was working so we talked to her a bit and got samples then went and sat at a picnic table to eat and talk. Then Sarah pulled the car around for me and we got in and drove to Steak n' Shake to visit Stefan the milkshake boy. The waiter sat us so we could Stefan in the little window. All of us but Julie got a little kids meal mine was grilled cheese <3 lol. When we were paying our bill Chrissy asked if she could tip the milkshake boy the manager was like ya I guess if you want so Chrissy went to the window and this lady was said you cant be back here and she just goes its ok the manager said i could it was great. Then we went off to the mall to visit Frank since the mall was closing soon we waited out in the parking lot for him to finish up. Then off to Julies but first we picked up Jeana then went to Julies and hung out on the back porch. I love how they just tote me around its very nice lol.

Well my sugery went well. 37 minutes. Thats it. I got there around 11 and didnt go back until 130ish. Then I went got changed and they put the IV in my hand and then they needed to do I nerve blocker (with a square needle) and that hurt really bad and then they gave me 2 more square needle shots in the knee and ankle to numb my leg for 12 hours. Then I waited until my leg got nu,b and I went into surgery they put me asleeep and then I woke up and I was still in the OR and I was like I am allowed to be up? and they said ya i was all done. This was the best surgery I think I have ever had I know that sounds weird but I mean theres not that much pain and I woke right up. Then I waited around for awhile and then went home. Sarah and Jeana came and got me around 8 and we went to Brewsters to get ice cream. The numbness wore off around 2 am ahhhh it hurt but then i was on painkillers which i might add are really strong. And yesterday I was supposed to go to a Johnny Depp party but the medicine made me sick so I couldnt I just puked and laid around all day. Today I am supposed to work so that should be fun. Well I am off for now.

Ciao Bellas
Day One:
Our first flight left at 5 and we were at the airport at 2 because you have to be at the airport early. We just walked around and shopped I bought a bra at Victoria Secrets ha ha. The plane we took to Newark we called "ghetto air" it was this extremely tiny plane but it wasnt that bad I felt like I was on a kennywood ride.
Then we got to Newark and sat around and had dinner and then got on our 8 hour flight to Milan Italy. Gah that flight sucked. I was stuck in the middle seat and the person in front of me had their seat down the entire time and i had no room.
Day Two
We arrived in Milan at noon and sat around for 3 hours waiting for the other tour group. I guess I should explain that we met up with two other tour groups while we were there and traveled around with them. One was a group of older people from Maryland they were extremely annoying and we had nicknames for most of them (Thelma and Louise, Screaching sisters, Screaching sisters' mom) and a group 12 year olds and some of their parents and teachers from Seattle. This one little boy in that group Devin loved CNN and John Kerry too ha ha. We also had some nicknames in that group (John Denver-the man in black-creepy man(all in reference to the same man)) After we met up with them we drove to Verona as in the Romeo and Juliet Verona. It was a quaint town and I was introduced to European bathrooms...they suck. They all vary from hole in the ground to a toilet without a seat and you pay to use them 5o euro cents. Then we drove on to a ferry over to Lido the island we were staying while we visited Venice. It was this pretty little Island and our hotel room had two balconies. That night we went to dinner and then to bed because we had been awake for over 24 hours
Day Three
We went to Venice. We visited Saint Marc's square. we saw how glass statues were maid and took a walking tour of venice and then we were on own. My mom and I went on some of the more residential streets and this guy who was about my age was painting a door. he totally stopped looked at me and said "I like what I see. You like nice." then he hits his friend and goes"you like what you see? I do. Maybe she has friend for you" I just kept walking my mom said I turned beat red. We walked around Venice some more and then Visited some churches, a art museum and Murano which is famous for its glass. Then we went back to Venice and actually went in to St. Marc's church. Then we returned to Lido had dinner with the group and then went back to Venice for a gondola ride at night. It was so pretty I loved it. Venice was my favorite city over all.
Day Four
We drove to Florence. We walked around there for awhile. Went and saw the Pitti Palace gardens which were just so pretty. And then we went on a tour and learned some stuff. Then we saw David. That was interesting. Then we went to Montecaini where we were staying outiside Florence it was this little town that I loved. That night Clare and her mom and I walked around we got barked at, someone dove at our feet and then followed us back to the hotel. But before that we found Termeland...it was this little place for kids. They had four trampelines together and it said Crazy Jumping Termeland I loved it. Then after that they followed us to the hotel.
Day Five
We went to this town San Giglisomething but its where Pinocchio was made ha ha. It was just how I pictured Italy I loved it. Then we drove on to Sienna where I saw the shrunken head of St. Catherine. Then we had dinner in Florence and then we went to see the Leaning tower of Pisa. That was nice you wouldnt expect it to be where it was. Then back to Montecatini for the night.
Day 6
We drive 6 hours to Sorento but on the way we stopped at Pompei. Oh my God. It was so totally gorgeous. and ya wow. then we drove to Sorento which is a mountian top town that looks over the bay of Naples. You had to drive on these winding mountian roads. The hotel was the best that we stayed at. It was built into the side of the mountian and had a pool on the roof and an olive vineyard thing.
Day 7
We went to the Island of Capri...which was stunning. It is one of the most beautiful places ever. I stood in the Mediteraen sea. We stayed there for half the day and explored it then went back to the hotel swam, ate dinner and then risked our lives to go into the town. We walked down the roads into town with cars wizzing by us. Walked around there for awhile and then walked back home. Claire and I were whistled at and shouted at again and had one car stop and people try to get out of it the guys there were hot but very aggressive.
Day 8
We drove to Rome we visited the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chappel which was very beautiful and amazing. It wasnt as big as I thought but still it was amazing. That night we went on a night tour of Rome and went to the Trevi Fountian. You throw 3 coins in. It was really beautiful but extremely crowded. There were people everywhere all throwing their coins.
Day 9
Our last full day in Italy. We visited the Coleseum which was just WOW amazing it was huge. We also visited the Roman Forum, saw where Caesar was stabbed. Then we went to the Pantheon which is still used as a church. Then we went to the Trevi fountian in the daylight for Mr. Jones to take a picture because he didnt have his camera the night before. Then we walked to the Spanish Steps and get this...they were filming oceans twelve with BRAD PITT, GEORGE CLOONEY, MATT DAMON, JULIA ROBERTS, CATHERINE ZETA-JONES, and many others. We didnt see them thought because we had to go to the Hard Rock Cafe...grrr. But I could have seen them I took a picture of one of the streets they were filming on the real kicker was that when I got home I saw in people a picture of George Clooney from the day we were there. Anyways then we went to Hard Rock had lunch and took a taxi back to the hotel. The traffic all over Italy is crazy especially in Rome just driving in a taxi I thought we were gonna die. We got back to the hotel our stuff that we had bought at the Vatican and had blessed arrived and then we went off to dinner a little later. We had pizza and then walked to a plaza and hung out there for awhile. A band played us a sung that was nice Then went back to the hotel.
Day 10
The wake up call was at 630 we didnt leave til 9. We dropped off Ms. Sonnie and her friend Maggie off at a train station and then we went of to Leonardo Da Vinci airport. We literally had to run through it and the lines were HUGE. Then we got on our 10 hour flight home. The movies were Along came Polly which I liked and Mona Lisa Smile which was ok but I had seen it before. Then We got to Cincinnatti/Northern Kentucky Airport and hung out there for 6 hours some people got on our earlier flights though. I basically slept on chairs I was so jet lagged and I had 2 starbucks I remember. Then we flew again on ghetto air home.
And that was my trip to Italy. I am sure there is more, but ya know I cant right everything.
Random THoughts on Italy:
There are gelato places every 5 feet
I love gelato
the guys there are really hot
you are constantly judged
men look you up and down and smile women give you the evil looks
ok thats all I can think of for now.

hot guys play tennis and don't go to CHS
This isn't my Italy entry. I am still working on that one. This is just and update on what's been going on with me lately.
Thursday, July 1
I slept basically all day I was jet lagged. And then that night Jeana and I went down to Crafton Celebrates. Jeana and I felt like we didn't fit in...we weren't teenage moms and were fully clothed. We didn't get the memo about bringing a baby with us. While I was there the guy I baby-sit for called to see if I could baby-sit for him that night 10-11 while he came down to Celebrates to close up a booth. I agreed and went up there because Jeana and I were tired of Celebrates it has really gone down hill. Then I had to call my mom to give me a ride home because he couldn't leave his kids alone and his wife was out of town that's the whole reason why I was baby-sitting he said he was gonna give me his car to drive home but I just said I would call my mom. I think that's illegal anyway.
Friday, July 2
I worked down the pool for the first shift. It was nice being back there. I think that's all I did. I don't remember what I did the rest of the day just working is all I believe. I think I read a lot if I recall
Saturday, July 3
Woke up took Kirsten out to the airport to go to DC and then went to Walmart dropped off pictures for Italia and went to Panera for lunch *yum* and then went back and picked up some of the pictures but my digital pictures weren't done. Went home and hung around and then went and worked at Crafton Celebrates 445-1045 6 freaking hours making snowcones and dipping things in chocolate...I think I ate like 5 snowcones but half of them were just ice.
Sunday, July 4
I worked 12-8 All freaking day. We opened late because Mr. Williams broke the pool haha Its not the 4th of July down the pool unless something happens and we either close early or later. I always end up working the 4th too I have now for the past 3 years the same amount of time I have worked there hmm. I was the only girl there except for the one attendant but she's a pool rat too so she doesn't count lol so I hung out with the guys while we were waiting for the pool to open it was interesting. And then I went over to Celebrates and hung out with Kevin for a while because we couldn't find anyone else for a while we counted how many teenage mothers we saw there then met up with some other people. Me and Kev had conspiracy going at least 2 people asked if we were going out I just laughed and was like no its Kevin we are just friends; We have known each other forever literally. Then I worked in the booth for some more blah and then went and watched the fireworks; I think it was the most fun time I have had watching them ever; I always watch them with my entire family and cousins aunts and uncles; On the one blanket it was me, brad, Connie rose, Paul and Tim and Evan and Ashley; we were just joking around and stuff it was great
Memorable quotes:
"That ones blue. It's expensive"- all of us said that because my one uncle once said that the blue ones were the most expensive ones and we thought it was hilarious so for the past 3 years every time we see fireworks we always comment on how expensive the blue ones are its just a
family thing
"Who's the Pope? It sounds like poop."- my cousin Brad he is going into 3rd grade
we all just sat there and laughed
A little but later- "Does Brad know who the Pope is yet?"-Tim
"Ya Connie Rose told him?"-me
"And we all know she's the authority on all things Catholic"-her brother Paul
"It still sounds like poop"-Brad
I guess you had to be there but it was great.
Monday, July 6th aka Today
I woke my mom cleaned my room because I admit I am spoiled and refused to. I do have to put my clothes away but I plan on doing that tonight or else I cant go shopping until I put them away. Then I went and played tennis at Carnegie Park and I saw these really really hot boys playing tennis. There were 3 but one left and little while after I got there and the other were brothers and they were just wow hot. And they asked to use my cell phone later on when they needed a ride home. It was really hot out and they were playing without their shirts and ya they were really muscular they looked in the 16-18 year old range and they live in Carnegie hmmm. Then my mom took me to Panera and now I am here writing.
Random thoughts:
~hot guys do play tennis
~hot guys don't go to Carlynton
~I would just like to thank those hot boys I saw today for making my day
~the ice cream man changed his song from the entertainer to some crappy song that shouts hello at the end so not cool
~I have surgery tomorrow and am not looking forward to it because I cant go play tennis and see hot guys anymore ::sob sob::
~I miss Amber I haven't seen for a real long time...when do you get back??
~we rearranged my room and when I say we I mean my mom and I like it.
~Its really hot like Italy hot out today
~I want gelato
ok that's enough for me. I'll have my Italy entry in the next day or so I promise.

I decided that it was about time for an update. Nothing much has happened. I have been working a lot but thats good because tomorrow I leave for michigan and then monday for Italy. yay. Monday it stormed real bad but I loved it. I worked 4-8 and then went out to Starbucks in Greentree with Sarah. Thats when the storm struck. The lights were flickering in starbucks and the umbrella from one of the outside tables was in the middle of the driveway. I saw Becky!!, Amy and Clare there. Clare is going to Italy with me but I really don't know her, Becky was from shotput (Aww I really missed here this year) and Amy and I had gym together and woul plot on how to get out of the mile together. When Sarah and I were driving home we could barely see but we made it safe and sound. When I got home my cousins came over for a bit and then I had to go to oboe at 9:30!!! I could barely concentrate. Tuesday I worked the first shift and we closed at 4 I think but thats because it was raining and thundering. Then Amber came over and we watched Love Actually and walked to tastee freeze and talked of course. Wednesday I worked all day! I was attendant for the first shift. I had to be the world's worst attendant but Ben and I had fun. We just goofed off and patrolled the perimeter and the inmates (Busted) it was fun. Then I worked 2nd as Cashier with Devney as attendant we had a good time. At 8 we were gonna renact what happened on the real world but rob pushed us in before we could so we swam for a bit and went down the slide in our clothes. Today I worked first shift and and we closed early at 3:30 Janel Sarah and Jeana picked me up and we went out to Brewsters and then we drove around some cul de sacs!! lol. After that we went to the high school and laid on the traack for a bit then went back to her house it was fun. Now I am home because I have to pack I will most likely update after Italy!!!
