For starters, I missed everyone toooo hardcore. Thank God I had my cell phone.
Okay, so anyway, Monday.
Yeah, right. Like I really remember Monday. Well, My daddy, brother and I drove up to Boise. Six hour drive. Oodles and oodles of fun. Right? ...HAHAHAHAH. NO. Well it was just like any other drive to Idaho, except add three hours. Oh! I remember that we were gonna leave at 11-11:30. We were ready and on time too. Weird. Anyway, we were all ready to go. And where did the keys go? *shrugs* I dunno! 3 hours later, they were out on the lawn by the sprinkler box. My dad did some yard work. Don't ask. So anyway, we got there about 9:30. I'm okay with it. lol.
Tuesday!: So my dad and brother were gonna go home around 2, so we woke up early to go to the Discovery Center. At first, I thought it was gonna be lame. But really, it was fun! There was this chair that it was made so that you pulled on this rope and with pullies and ropes and all that, you could lift your own weight! I didn't feel fat. =] After that, my brother and dad left to go back to Utah. I missed my daddy! And... my brother too I guess. I wanted to hear his laugh. LOL! So when we got back, I felt like an only child. The house was quiet.... It was... So... Nice. And considering my aunt had a Wii, it made things fun! She didn't really have any games, except the Wii Play! and Wii Games. But that was good enough for now. haha. So I played on that for a bit. I am the best at bowling! haha. And I can't remember what we did after that... Oh! We went to a "high class second hand clothes store". It was really high class though. They didn't just have like... old ratty clothes. They had clothes that were in really good condition and everything. I got a new (well new to me anyway) pair of pants (I love them!) and a new shirt (It's just a plain dark green, and a V-neck. I thought it was cute). My aunt didn't see anything see liked. So we just... left. haha. That's about it for Tuesday, I think.
Wednesday!: I don't remember the morning, but... Oh! I think that was the day I got to sleep in till 11:30. That was nice. The latest I woke up that entire time I was there. So anyway, all we did really was run some errands. Went to Costco, BestBuy, and PetSmart. lol. My aunt says it like "Pets smart". Then we went back to the house. My aunt took her nap. I played my DS. Oh wait, no, I talked on the phone. lol. That was fun. And then later we went to a thing called "Alive after 5", which means at this little square thing in the city you go and there is this band playing. Every week there is a different band playing. Unfortunately, there was an oldie band playing. I thought it was like gonna be an younger band, but no. So... we just left. And my aunt asked me, "What do you feel like for dinner?" "...Seafood. Or steak." "I got the place." And that place was called Mcgarth's Fish House. WOWOW. That place was amazing. The chowder was SEX. You know what I mean? Cheayh. And... I don't remember anything else...
Thursday!: SHOOOOPPPING. That's all I remember anyway. Wow. Idaho malls are better then Utah malls. Well, that mall anyway. I mean it had a couple stores I haven't even heard of. Like MaxRave. That place is so cool! It reminds me of WetSeal kinda. And I bought my mommy a new shirt. It's blue. She likes blue. That's about it for Thursday. Wow... Wish I could remember. Anything.
Friday!: Beach! My uncle has a granddaughter, Briana. She's 12. Well I guess they wanted to see their granddaughter. So I didn't argue. If she was related to my family, she must have been cool. (Yes, I am saying I have a cool family. lol. Most teens hate to say they have a family.) So at around 10 or so, she came over with her mom, Uncle Terry's daughter, and we chatted for a bit, and like... we left. My aunt, Briana, and me. We got there, and it was fun! we sat under the shade and talked a little bit. Mostly old memories my aunt had with my daddy. Why didn't my dad tell me he had to fall off of the ski ride? I love my relatives. They tell me stories about my parents my parents would NEVER tell me. So we got back from the beach around 3 or so, and so my aunt went to go take her nap. And I have no idea what me and Bri did. But I just remember she's really cool. lol. But we hung out and everything. Then later on, my other aunt came from Utah too. Bringing my little second-cousin Heather. She's 7. I didn't want to give her a piggy back right. She didn't understand that. That's all I'm saying about that. And then my cousins Kevin and Cheryl came all the way from Washington. They brought my other second cousins, or you know, their kids, Colton, 13, Brin, 11, and Lauren, 4. Heather is their sister (I really hope that makes sense). So anyway, we had dinner. That was good. lol.
Saturday!: I don't remember Saturday... Oh well I do remember at the end of the day my cousin Colton was sleeping on the couch (He volunteered to stay over at my aunts because the hotel room they were staying in at wasn't big enough for everyone in their family), and I wanted to watch TV, so it was just me and him, chillin', and watching TV. Then we got onto the topics of EX's. He doesn't know I have had a girlfriend, and it's gonna stay that way. Anyway, I told him I went out with a 17 year old for a day. And that's I'm good friends with his twin. lol. And then Little Colton (who is a head taller then me,) said that he had an Ex. I freaked out! HOW CUTE IS THAT? IT'S. CUTE. He said they only went out for 3 weeks. And that they didn't kiss. I got sad. =( But it's okay. He wasn't supposed to have a girlfriend anyway. lol. He was like "DON'T TELL MY PARENTS OR I'LL HURT YOU!" In a whisper, 'cause we had to be quiet 'cause everyone else was sleeping. And then he hit me with a pillow. lol. My other aunt came out and told me to go to bed, and I was like "Hey! He's my cousin I never get to see!" And he said "Yeah, we have to do stuff like this!" lol. I got to stay. For like 10 more mintues. Then I really had to go to bed. It was fun. A lot more stuff happened that day, but... I don't remember it. And it was just yesterday! lol.
So yeah. That was my week. I meant we did A LOT more. But this was just the stuff that was vivid in my memory. haha. =]
I missed my mommy.
And daddy.
And honey.
And pete.
And sunny.
And wesley.
Yeah.
I hope I didn't forget anything there...
GBH Concert!

This is like... one of the highlights of my summer. For realism. Here I go!
Okay so Preston wanted me to go to a conert called GBH. It's a band that's on tour with other bands called Whole Wheat Bread, and Krum Bums. I'm sure you must have heard of them. Anyway, he wanted me to go, and I wanted to go, so I went! :P
So I got Maddie to go with me, 'cause I didn't want to be alone while Brooks and Preston went and moshed and stuff. (Yes, Brooks went. I'll say more.)
And so finally Preston and Brooks come to my house to pick us up, but then he asks my dad to take us, cuz he can't fit 4 people in the cab. So lol!!! We had to go down State Street and since my dad is like a crazy driver anyway, we were supposed to be follwing Preston, but my dad going over the speed limit AT LEAST 5 mph at all times, we pasted them. It was SOO funny to see their faces as we passed them and my dad FLIPPED THEM OFF! OMG I freaked out on my dad. Preston is my friend, and Brooks is my ex. Like I really want my dad screwing with their heads. LOL!
Okay so we got there at the club where the concert would be held, and got out and... We were 2 hours early. lol. I mean we were planning to get the early anyway so we would be able to get in and stuff. And we get out and see all these... MAJOR hardcore punks. I mean denim jackets with studs all over. 'Hawks. Spikes. Leather. Tight pants. Everything. lol. And what were I and Maddie wearing? I was wearing a light blue shirt. And Maddie was wearing a black tank top. And we were just so... plain. Compared to everyone else I mean. And by everyone, I mean like... punks who were in their early 20's. Easy. lol. It was very... very.... intimidating. Very.
So we were just kinda hanging out. Maddie and I were the youngest in that bunch, and by far the least punkish. We kept to ourselves.
Okay so yadda, yadda, yadda, we hung out, kinda talked to people, and finally. 7 o'clock.
It was 15 bucks. Preston told me to bring 30. (And I told Maddie to being 30 too, 'cause... like... yeah.) And we walked in, and it was so dark! lol. I have never been to that place before, so I really had no idea what to do. Thank goodness Maddie had been there. Just a couple weeks before actually, for Battle of the Bands with Shan-Shan.
So Brooks, Preston, and they met of with their friend, Jay. (I think that's what his name was anyway, I wasn't quite sure.) So they went up at the front were the mosh pit would be, and me and Maddie went to go sit on the wooden, bench things. They sucked. lol. But it's all good.
So... Bands played. First there was this band that played. I have no idea who they were called. I didn't catch their name. Then Negative Charge went on. They were good! I liked them! The guitarist was wayyy hot. Well I thought so. Maddie didn't think so. But it's all good. =]
So we chilled, (HOLY CRAP THAT PLACE WAS HOT!!) rocked our heads to the music, talked/screamed to eachother over the ear-splitting music. It was... Amazing. And that's saying a lot. Anyway, The the Krum Bums came on. I liked them! I had noooo idea what anything they said, but that's okay. But it sounded like if you were mad at like... anything, you could listen to them and chill. But people were burning the american flag in the 'Pit. I didn't like that... But whatever. That's their business, like hell I was gonna get in the and be like "OHMIIGOSSH YOUGUYZZ!!! WHATAREYOUDOING?" Yeah... no. It only lasted a couple seconds anyway, I wasn't gonna compain.
Up next, Whole Wheat Bread. An all black punk band. Man, it was the BEST. Like they had this hardcore punk beat, but they kinda rapped in it. And if you know anything about me, I like rap. But to see those two combined? HEAVEN. And no, I'm not exaggerated. I was seriously sooo happy. And the singer? WAYYYYYY hot. =] It made me happy. lol. So when they were done with there set, Maddie and I combined our money and bought one of their cds. Can't wait to listen to it!
And last, GBH. The reason why like... 90% off the people at the concert were there. It was kinda weird to watch everyone just run up to the front. Biggest 'Pit I have ever seen. That's fo' sho'. Maddie and I just chilled. It was like... 11. We were tired! 6 hours of just like... Punk rock. It was soooo much fun. But we were just tired. Loved it though.
Okay, so there was the like... lowdown of the day. Now for my favorite highlights/lowlights. And... other thoughts.
Brooks: I thought things were gonna be awkward. Since there was so much going on, three wasn't much awkwardness. He was off in the crowd most the time... But you wanna hear something weird? To me anyway? I wore his hate. That's the second time I wore an article of his clothing. And were weren't going out. I dunno. It just kinda weirded me out. But we're cool. So it's just chill.
Preston: I guess it was just a tiny crush, 'cause I don't really like him anymore. He's just my friend. If anything more happened, it might just make things... weird. You know?
Cigarette Guy: Maddie and I were just sitting there, enjoying GBH. Or Krum Bums, I can't remember. But a guy sitting in front of us just looked over at us and asked if we had a smoke. I just stared at him. I was kinda insulted. I don't like smokers. And... I dunno. That probably doesn't make sense, but it don't have to.
Peanut Butter Jelly Time!: WWB was doing their checking the mic and the singer just started singing it. It made me so happy. Like... all these hardcore punks who HATE rap, were singing along!
I knew we could all get along. =]
(There is soooooooo much I didn't mention. But this is way too long anyway. lol!)
(I wrote this story in a weird way too.)
(Oh well.)
