I have an upgrade coming soon from Verizon, and I am very tempted to get an iPhone with it. Yes it's still 200 dollars, but...it's awesome. The desire is becoming too strong to overcome. I'm scared for myself.
In other news, I did Zumba today, and went crazy, and had a lot of fun. It was great. A woman said I was hilarious. bam.
Becca's coming over soon.
I kinda want to read Order of the Phoenix and not deal with people, but I'm excited to see her, because it's been a while.
Virginia comes tomorrow! And I don't work til Friday! Woo! but at the same time, booo because I need hours.
I'm going to apply at a dog kennel/groomer right near me, because they have a sign out saying they need a bather. The money might be good? We'll see if they hire me. They probably won't. but I like to be negative about this sort of thing, so we'll see.
Also: Chicago in the fall? badabingbadaBOOM

Funnel Cakes in the Rain
Today has felt like at least 4 days.
Started off with breakfast and a bible study with actually I feel like a pretty random group of young adults from Virginia Beach and Norfolk, then came home.
Then Sam came over. We dyed a streak of her hair bright blue and tanned.
We then both went to work for the same company at two different places.
I sat in a crowd of sand soccer players and viewers, bored and distraught, for a few hours. Made 13 dollars in tips.
Then Joanna came! and we talked and she made me feel happy and let time pass quicker for the last 2 hours of my shift. Also, I traded a couple ice creams for a funnel cake for Jo and I to split. I was so stoked on that, and it was GOOD.
Then we had to walk 6 blocks back to her car in the heavy rain. Wet and gross.
Then she took me to my car and I went home.
One of the best moments of the day, though: about to turn into my neighborhood coming home from work and none other than Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" comes on, so I got to do a little air drumming right before I pulled safely into my driveway.
I will finish Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone tonight (unless I fall asleep)
p.s. Yes, I gave up on Little Women without looking back. I needed Harry Potter at the moment.
I want to soak up the rays, and get my feet wet. I want to run through the daze, and not make a safe bet. (spontaneous poetry exercise)

Presto, Pesto
Our herb garden has been taunting me, I want to make a lot of things with fresh herbs.
Tonight I think I'll make pesto, for the fam.

I also have an urge to shop. These come infrequently for me, but they do come, and so all I really want to do today is go to the mall with my momma and get clothes. But that isn't happening since I must work again, (p.s. I've been riding my bike everywhere, commuting to work, riding to church and the beach, and going on pleasure rides, saving money on gas and getting muscles, hopefully.) and then I'm going to have a Zombie movie night with some friends. Thrilling (?) I'm in it just for the society.
I finished Jane Eyre by the way (Dear Everyone, Read it!) and now I'm reading Little Women, I'm scared it won't be quite as exciting or drawing as Jane was, and from the first 50 pages, I already know it isn't (at least not for me) but hopefully it will be a good read.
Then...I may have to do the Harry Potter Series again, in anticipation of July 15 when Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes out. Yikes!

So I think I've mentioned the Road Trip...
Well, by no means am I letting that dream die, but why not kill two birds with one stone?
Cross Country trip, on bike.
I'd see all I wanted to see, granted, take more time than a car, but also save the Earth a little bit (ha) and see things at more of a natural pace. The pace at which the first pioneers would have experience America. If I graduate and I have the time, and I was planning on doing a cross-country car trip anyways, why not use the budget and time I was going to use by car and use it instead on my cycling tour?!
Pros:
1. I'd get ripped.
2. Even more than with a trip by car, I would NEVER forget this experience.
3. Definite bragging rights.
4. So fun!
5. I'd probably see so much more.
6. Carbon footprint almost totally extinguished.
7. Bamiddy Bam
Now, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not.. going to disagree. I'm also not going to say that these dreams won't occur, because I just GOT MY NEW BIKE TWO DAYS AGO, and I'm ready to make waves.
Cons:
Those friends that were all down about a cross country road trip--probably won't want to bike with me. Eh, you win some, you lose some. I'm straight with going solo.
Two goals:
1. Plan it.
2. Figure out how to minimize the load I would be carrying with me. Yes, it is possible for me to ride with 100 extra pounds, but is it necessary? I'm willing to say it's not.

New Bike!
I'm so very stoked-- that I have my new bike!
Saving money on gas is about to resume. I've got zero money after this big expense, but it will all be worth it, and if I didn't act soon I would never have a bike.
Anyways, I am going to ride it to work tomorrow. Then it's the Beach Boys concert at 5th street for FREE! Woo!
June has begun, and so has my reading of Jane Eyre. I decided to retire Les Mis for now, because it's such a slow read, and I'm pretty busy with work and friends, and my mom was so insisting on Jane Eyre instead. It's really good so far, I'm only on page 100 or something, but it's flying by. We'll see what I'll read once I finish this little number.
