Well, it happened...I'm kicked out of the house. I don't know how it happened exactly, but basically today has been absolutely horrible. For one, I have a horrible sinus cold that is just killing me and two, my parents decided to drop a bunch of bricks on my shoulders. it kind of started last night when my dad called me and said that they don't want me doing laundry at their house anymore. They think I'm using them every time I come home and that I don't spend enough time with the family...I tend to go over to hang out with Dave, Jenny and Billy the majority of the time that I'm home. They don't seem to like that. And it's not like that I don't want to see them, I just don't want to spend my whole weekend with them. So yeah, no laundry. It was so dumb too! Because I offered to bring my own detergent back and to do it myself and they still denyed me usage of the machines. So I'm stuck here today paying $6.75 in the overly priced machines we have at Cornell. Then my parents call me today and make me start crying by saying that I either need to break up with Dave and stop hanging out with Anna/Jenny/Billy/Alli ....OR if I don't stop hanging out with them, I'm pretty much excluded from my family. I have to find somewhere else to live next summer and am not welcome back home when I visit...etc. It's not fair! It's like they are forcing me to choose a different boyfriend.It's been obvious ever since Ryan broke up with me that they want me to date someone from college. I am so mad! It's not like they even know Dave! I offered to have them meet him, but they didn't want to. They're not even giving him a chance! They just assume that because he hangs out with my "bad" friends (who aren't bad at all) that he is just not good enough for me. Which is totally NOT true! But I'm not planning on breaking up with Dave, so I'm stuck being excluded from my family. I don't think I'm going to mind not seeing my parents as much as I'm going to mind missing my brothers, especially my youngest brother. I've just been in a crying/horrible mood all day. I don't know what I"m going to do! I mean, they're basically saying that the only way I can get back into the family is if I break up with Dave and stop hanging out with Anna,Alli, Jenny, and Billy. It's NOT fair. UGHHH!! I HATE THIS!!! Well, in good news I got hired at Bath and Body works. Yeah. Liz

...and I'm sure it'll continue to be ahwile. I guess I've gotten hooked by myspace. I know, there are a lot of myspace haters here, but yup, I'm hooked. I just try to avoid the creeps and write my blogs for only the people I know. I would have to say that mindsay is a lot safer.

Anyways...school is going well, although I dread music theory IV every single day. I've become a  rock fan and sometimes I feel that my friends here don't accept me for who I am. I love them to death, I just kind of want to branch out and see if I can find someone who has a little bit more in common with me as well. Maybe I'm just paranoid about what people think about me. I feel dumb compared to a lot of people here. Everyone seems so intellegent and even though I may have gotten good grades in high school...I don't think I'm able to have "intellegent" conversations. Big words confuse me. I don't know a lot about what's going on in the world. Thus the lack of intellegent conversations.

I miss everyone in Carroll so much!! Jenny, Billy, Nathan, Dave, Alli, Tom...I miss them sooooo much! I can have so much fun with those guys in a cheap way. At Cornell, everyone seems so loaded with money. Yes, it's a private school, and that's what you're  going to find here....it just sucks when everyone wants to go out, and you want to too...but you don't want to spend the money.

I hate that.

Sometimes I wish I had more money. Maybe I should find a job.Until next time...until then, I'll be on myspace.

So, I kind of went on my first "blind" date tonight...lol, not really because I had seen pictures of the guy. It was kind of weird...

Anyways, about 2 months ago I met this guy on myspace and we talked on MSN and he seemed like a really nice guy compared to a lot of the jerks on myspace that are all like, "lets talk dirty" blah blah blah...

So tonight, I had nothing to do and I decided to go on MSN for the first time in ages...or at least I started going back on msn this week. I've been kind of busy and never have time to chat online. He was online and we end up arranging to meet at Wal-Mart. You know, I just wanted to make that precaution because with all of those internet creeps out there, I didn't know if he was telling the truth or not. But I met him tonight and he seems like a really nice guy. I don't know though...with a month before I head back to college, I don't know if I want to start anything....and I don't even know if he's my type. He made me laugh though and he's not that bad looking. I rode a motorcycle for the first time tonight though! That was fun. But, I'm just not for sure on this one. I feel a little young for him...even if he is only 23...or maybe I just don't realize that I"m going to be turning 20 in October. I guess we'll see.

Soooo guess what I did? I got my eyebrow pierced! Ummm, sorry if you guys think it looks retarded, but I love it a lot! I got in huge trouble for it. I almost got kicked out of the house. Now I have a lot of rules to live by and I have to start paying for things. I guess that's alright by me though. I was actually thinking of moving out and living with some of my friends...trouble is, is the cost. I just don't know how I'll be able to afford rent, cell phone, car insurance, food and laundry. I guess I'll have to see how things go at home first.

That's about it. I'm tired so I'm going to bed.

Yup, so I"m sitting here....typing a blog for the first time in ages. I surprisingly didn't get burned @ the lake today...barely a tan actually, but tubing was fun. I didn't stay on very long, but at least I tried. I didn't try the water skis though...those looked a little to scary for me. Oh well. My elbow kind of hurts and I don't know what I did. Ummm...just enjoying the time to myself while my family is out. Actually having the playstation to myself. I'm kind of talking in not full sentences. Whatever happened to my good grammar? Oh well. I guess I'm just typing whatever comes to my mind. The next CDs I'm going to get are: Stone Sour being released August 1st and a Rammstein CD....the next movies I want to see are: Pirates of the Carribean 2 and The Lady in the Water and Click....my next game I want to get is Final Fantasy XII whenever that's to be released. It's too bad I don't have the money for all of this. I have to be saving for college.

Sorry this is such a lame blog.
