Update On Me

I'm sunburnt and peeling.
I have way too many bug bites.
My legs are a mess (due to bug bites).
I'm itchy all the time (due to bug bites/peeling).
My sock tan is almost perfect.
I've memorized Part One and Two, working on Three.
I need to spend a good five hours reading to finish the AP book.
I miss David Kile.
I realized that Sam's right 99.47% of the time.
And I'm frustrated right now.

You know...

You know Rachel's tired when...

• she barely says a word during dinner
• doesn't react when her mom belches really loud
• falls asleep at the table

Yup...first day of band camp was great, I'm barely burnt (backs of arms and back of neck only) and I had a fun time, just...a little exhausted.

Off to finish secretary work (Woodwinds/Low Voices are losing...), and then off to try and get through some more of the book without falling asleep.

Family Bonding Time

So on the ride home from church today we had family (minus dad and Sanya, they're at Hershey Park for the day) bonding time.

The radio was on and I'm singing along with some songs I know and when "Bleeding Love" ended I changed the station, and it was Katy Perry!!!! So I'm sitting up in the passenger seat and I start bouncing up and down with the beat and singing along with "Hot N Cold" and we get to the chorus and ALL OF A SUDDEN, Josh (in the backseat) starts singing with me! I'm like, "You know this buddy?" and he just keeps right on singing and dancing (well...as close as you can get to dancing in a car) along to the song. So mom reaches over AND TURNS THE VOLUME WAY UP. Next thing I know, we're cruising down Main Street, music PUMPING and all of us singing, "Cause you're hot then you're cold! You're yes then you're no!" at the top of our lungs.

IT. WAS. HYSTERICAL.

"Napkin at my mouth..."

Ok, so almost every K (insert my last name here...which I will not type out on the internet, sorry creeper stalker dudes reading this! ;D) dinner has a story to go with it, something funny that happens, someone falling out of their chair, someone laughing so hard their drink comes out of their nose...SOMETHING. Well tonight...was HYSTERICAL.

It's Sanya's birthday (WOOOO!!!! Yummy birthday breakfast this morning :D), and so we were all sitting around, enjoying a yummy meal, and I was UBERLY enjoying the Shirley Temple (best soda/drink ever made by humans) and well...I haven't had soda in awhile, at least not at the dinner table. So I had these MAJOR belches (not burps...BELCHES) and lemme tell ya...they were AWESOM. So after the first one I was like, "Oh that felt GOOD" and mom just kinda gave me the furry eyeball (why do the call it that? Her eyeball doesn't have any hair on it when she's glaring at me...people and their wackadoodle sayings) so I was like, "Oops...excuse me..."

We're eating...we're eating...another one comes! And it wasn't like, "Oh I feel it coming!" it was just BAM. HERE I AM. I AM THE MOST AMAZING BELCH. FEAR MEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Yep, it was EXACTLY like that.

So after THAT ONE I said, "Oh YEAH!!!!!!" and mom gave me a DOUBLE glare (all mom's must be given that special talent by God when their first child is born), so again, I said excuse me.

Later on, I heard an ITSY BURP and I looked over at mom and she was like, "See? I burped but I had my napkin in my hand at my mouth to be polite."

Two seconds later...my dad lets out the KING OF ALL BURPS. And a second AFTER the burp, he grabs his napkin and puts it to his mouth and says, "See? I have my napkin at my mouth." Oh MAAAAAAAN, mom was not happy with him. IT. WAS. HILARIOUS.

The rest of dinner was great...long story short, me and dad were quoting movies and Broadway shows again and cracking up hysterically while mom sat there fuming.

We had our napkins at our mouths for the rest of dinner...

Veronica Mars

I am OFFICIALLY addicted to Veronica Mars! One of THE BEST T.V. shows I've ever watched...SO. ADDICTED.

Plot: After her best friend is murdered and her father is removed as county sheriff, Veronica Mars dedicates her life to cracking the toughest mysteries in the affluent town of Neptune.

So...basically, it's mystery and crime and all that good stuff. Picture Nancy Drew...but Veronica has more sass, best sarcasm in the world, and the show leans more towards the PG-13 side. Can be inappropriate, but hey, if you want a realistic show about teenagers...mmm, yup, the fast forward button it always needed.

Ok, favorite quote time!!!

Meg: You believe me, right?

Veronica: You are the last good person here at Neptune High. I believe cartoon birds braided your hair this morning.

Van Clemmons: Mr. Echolls, I was wondering if I could have a word?

Logan: Anthropomorphic.

Jackson Douglas: I hear you do detective stuff for people.

Veronica: I do favors for friends.

Jackson Douglas: I can pay.

Veronica: Sit down, friend.

Trina: Will you just hear me out, please? My boyfriend Dylan spotted me some cash a few months ago and now he's bugging me about it. I can't get him off my back.

Logan: Did you try standing up?

Keith: Didn't he get busted for murder?

Veronica: Assault.

Keith: See? He's not even a very good murderer.

Veronica: I hope we're still friends after I taser you.

Veronica: You prank-called Mandy?

Lenny: What if I did?

Veronica: Well, I want to congratulate you. Shake your hand. Congratulations! You've been named the world's biggest cockroach. This award is given in recognition in your unparalleled lack of decency and humanity. Bravo. You're going to die friendless and alone.

Lenny: Hey, everyone knows you're the biggest...

Veronica: Shut up! If I want you to speak, I'll wave a Snausage in front of your nose. You use Mandy again to convince yourself you're not a loser, I will ruin your life. Got it?

LOVE that last one, the sarcasm was PERFECT.

How embarrassing...

...so Mr. Jim called to let me know that he'll be here in 3o minutes to drop off the hamster, and he just needed directions to the house. So I amazed myself at giving fairly good directions and I ended with telling him that our house is the blue one on the right.

I took a shower and then I went outside...our house is WHITE. WOW RACHEL. So I had to call him back and apologize for my color blindedness...or forgetfulness or whatever it's called. :P

Best Dream EVA

Ahhh...Rachel Dreamland last night was SOOOO good...mmm...

I could FLY. It was AMAZING! It started out where I was with this other family and we were in like these snowmobiles or something like that and we were TOTALLY going over the speed limit, we were having a race to see who could get to the North Pole first. So the youngest kid won (didn't know names...hmm...oh well), so we just kinda sat up there for a little while and then all of a sudden the youngest kid (it was a guy) jumped on his snowmobile (I dunno if that's the right term...it looked like a racecar...except it was built for snow...I don't even know if that's REAL), so then me and some of the other teenagers climbed into ours and RACED after them! We ended up at Six Flags and we got out of the snowmobile thingies and FLEW. Like around the track, and through the loopholes and all that good stuff. IT WAS BEYAWESOM. Haha, I'd type out the rest of the dream but sometimes writing it down just makes it seems really bizarre. So I'll just end with: I went SUPER FAST on the snowmobile thingies, and I FLEW. I WAS AMAZING. ;D
