The Long Awaited....

Finale of Room Wars Season 2!!! I know I said I would do a summer update, but I saw it today. (Yes it meaning the Prince) I walked past him and didn't look back.

Anywho, I will now flashback to the last day of spring semester...

(flashback music plays and the screen gets all wavy)

Move-out Day!!! After getting back from my final, I open the room to see the Prince pretty much packed up. I start packing. I'm super excited to see my dog and kitty. An hour or two later, he gets the RA b/c he would be leaving soon and he wants the RA to check his half of the room for damages and such. The RA does and the Prince is pretty much ready to leave. As he was getting the last of his stuff, I said goodbye, walked up to him, and shook is hand. He didn't say a word or look me in the eye, I loved it!!! It was just the reaction I had expected. After he left, I laughed for about 5 minutes, but then the kicker came. Stinky came in looking for him (I also saw and smelled stinky the other day).

Not too long, but a nice way to end S2. Quick Update: I was charged $18 for room damages b/c the fridge needed cleaning after the Prince spilled milk and didn't clean it up, so I was p****d about that. Now (well later) we can start S3 and you get to meet the new roomies (well sort of, I still need to think of nicknames).

Summer Update: Movies/TV/Music and a fun game

I don't know why I put movies, I haven't seen any new ones.

As for TV, here are my thoughts on some of the shows I've been addicted to this summer:

Big Brother 10 - Although not so much, with tonights eviction, I have liked this season. I probably will just tune in only to see how it all ends. Most of the good people IMO (or entertaining people) have been evicted and I swear if Renny, Jerry, or Dan wins, I will be hella pi$$ed. I think Renny and Jerry are annoying and I don't want Dan to win b/c he had a terrible strategy in the first half (I hate it when people are "intentionally weak" in order to make it further). He's an okay guy, I just don't like his strategy.

America's Best Dance Crew 2 - This year was a pretty good year I thought. My two favorite crews lasted pretty much as far as my favorite two crews from last season (Break Sk8 and Fysh N' Chicks). This season my two favorites were Supreme Soul and Fanny Pak. Supreme Soul were great, the perfect combo. Fanny Pak was just amazing. They were the underdog crew and I really wanted them to win. I loved their "Toy Soldier", "Touch My Body", and "Get Ur Freak On" performances. The only time they screwed up was the create your own beat challenge so I didn't understand why they weren't in the finals. They were more consistent than the two finalists and just plain better than So Real Cru.

The Baby Borrowers - This show was weird. I thought it was funny, honestly. I know there could be some psychological damage, but it was entertaining. I liked Kelly and Austin the best and I though Morgan and Daton didn't deserve to have kids.

Fear Itself - These were awesome, well some of them. I loved the "Family Man" one and the one where the guy got lost in the woods. The "Community" one and the one with Eric Roberts were the two I hated. The other three were in between. I can't wait for the show to start up again.

Degrassi: The Next Generation - I saw this show for the first time b/c it was being shown on a local channel at my house and I must say what the f*^#??!!! This show is so all over the place, it is terrible.

Gossip Girl - Yes Ivy, I saw an episode re-running on the CW. It wasn't bad, but I was very confused.

I think that's it, if there's something else I'll do something about it later.

Music - I have been keeping track of songs I liked during the summer so I can include them on my end of the year countdown. Problem is, is that I haven't ranked them so I've decided to do the end of the year one based on how I feel and not by numbers. Here is this week's (btw youtube still sucks for me, so this took me like 30 minutes):

10 "Bust It Baby" by Plies feat. Ne Yo - I really love the parts by Ne-Yo, it shows his voice.

9. "Handlebars" by Flobots - This song really annoyed me at first, but I've sort of warmed up to it.

8. "Fall For You" by Secondhand Serenade - I heard this on my Yahoo station (when I had it) and I loved it then, still do now.

7. "After Tonight" by Justin Nozuka - One of two songs to survive the summer, it has received a boost by consistent showings on the VH1 Top 20 video countdown. Plus, I love it.

6. "Dangerous" by Kardinal Offishall feat. Akon - I loved this song so much, I listened to it every time I heard it. It's sort of died down.

5. "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay - The second song to survive the summer. This song is a serious contender for #1 just like the other summer survivor.

4. "Chasing Pavements" by Adele - I love her voice with this song. VH1 is doing something right with their You Oughta Know! artists (Justin Nozuka, Adele, two others coming, Sara Bareilles) b/c I like them.

3. "The World Should Revolve Around Me" by Little Jackie - These two are crazy together. Another YOK artist here, this is also the theme song for New York's (flavor of love) new show. The second verse is the best part IMO.

2. "Angels On the Moon" by Thriving Ivory - Originally, I didn't like this song, I thought they were annoying, but this YOK artist won me over.

1. "Devour" by Shinedown - This song is awesome!!!! It's on the Madden 09 soundtrack too, so I loved that. (you'll find out why I played Madden 09 in the next blog)

Next blog: Summer Update: The best part of my summer!!!

And there's a fun game at the fun n games forum. I'm playing (you might even get to be my partner) so everyone (well 15 b/c that's the amount of slots left) should join. It's an ORG (online Reality Game) . Here's the link:

General Life Update 2: Trip to Kennywood

First, I got my old job back!!! I can come on tv.com while I work again!!!!!

Anywho, time for my summer trip to Kennywood. The people involved are me, my stepdad (msd), my mom (mom), and my little sister (ls). In order to go, ls and I had to promise to go on rides (i.e. go on rides my parents like b/c I actually ride more rides than them) We packed a lunch (Subway and pop and stuff). We drove the whole way there (about 35 minutes I think). We got there and set our cooler at the pavillion near the Aero 360.

Our first ride was the Jackrabbit. I really like this ride, the dip is fun. Me and ls were third in line so we didn't think we'd get the front or the back (the two best places to sit on a roller coaster) but as luck would have it, the two pairs in front of us took the first to so me and ls sat in my personal favorite place to sit, the very back. It was a fun ride. Next, we did the Racers and again me and ls go the very back. We lost the race but still the back was awesome. Then we did the Log Jammer and put the heaviest at the front and ls at the back. I kept trying to tip the boat. As we came up to the top of the final hill, I jammed into my mom's back forcing her closer to msd and we made a huge splash. Everyone was surprised b/c no one could come close. Ls was soaked, it was funny. We rode the Thunderbolt next, which I'm not too crazy about. Guess where mom and I sat, THE BACK!!!! It was awesome. Then, we ate lunch.

After lunch, we decided to hit the water rides starting with the Log Jammer. We did the opposite combination, so we got very little splash. On the Raging Rapids, we got two other people put into our car and I got the least wet. I was happy b/c I didn't get the waterfalls or shot with the water cannons. Last was the Pittsburgh Plunge. We filled up the front seat. After that, we did my all-time favorite ride ever at Kennywood, the Exterminator. We had to convince ls to come, b/c she hates the dark. She got off in the middle of Noah's Ark one time. Standing in line sucked, b/c I was dripping. We finally got on the ride and ls started flipping the f**k out. I had my hands up the whole time (even though it says you're not supposed to) and ls was like whimpering the whole time. It was the only time we rode it b/c of that. While the other three did the swings, I did my other favorite ride, the Swingshot. It's like a pendulum sort of. If you get on at the right time, you can see the sun go over the hill, that happened once for me. I can't remember the order the rest happened but here are the highlights:

- Rode the Phantom's Revenge 4 times I think and right before we got on the one time, there was a problem so I was a little apprehensive to get on, but it was fine.

- Msd, ls, and I rode the Kangaroo and I punished them by intentionally flying into them or as we say "Cousin Oliver"-ing them which is when you hit someone while on a ride with them.

- Mom, msd, and I rode the new "Dark Ride" Ghostwood Estate. It's LAME. Do not ride it if you go, it is mega LAME!!!!

- Kennywood now plays music videos on big screens while you wait in line, it's really nice except most of the videos are sucky. I heard three different versions of Sara Bareilles's Love Song: the original her one, one sung by a ride operator (which was pretty good), and one sung by a group of girls while waiting in line for the LAME Dark Ride (which was terrible).

We went to go home and ran into major traffic on Parkway East b/c there was tons of construction and I almost missed the start of Fear Itself, but I didn't.

Wow, that was quick

Honestly, one of the people who commented on my last blog must be a lucky charm for me b/c as I was sitting in the last class, the lady at the FA office called me and said they found my form so I'm ready to look for a job. I'm so happy now!!!

Call me Murphy

I am furious. I went to get my work study authorization form today and they said they had lost it (the financial aid office). Now, I have to wait until I can apply for jobs, meaning I'm gonna get stuck with a sh***y job instead of the one I loved last year. I emailed my boss hoping he can save me a spot. I'll do the Kennywood story and stuff later, I'm so irate.
