I'm leaving home. For good. It's a really scary thought. But it's finally happening. I'm moving on Wednesday back to Norfolk. I know it's for school, but I don't plan on coming back to Rochester anymore.
This summer I lost one of my best friends (not to death, but as a friend). It's kind of sucked but now I'm just over it and moving on. It actually still hurts a lot, but our paths are moving in opposite directions. The only thing about it that pisses me off is that our parents have stopped talking too. I don't know if it's because of our relationship, but I still think it's annoying.
Had a major breakthrough today! The ferrets are litter trained! It was so nice to finally have them poop in the litter box and not wherever they chose. It'll make taking care of them a lot easier. When I get down to VA I'm going to buy them a playpen type thing and these fun tubes that they can run around in and play!
I'm really going to miss my cousin. If you're reading this you probably know about the relationship I have with her and it's gotten even better this summer. She's coming to visit August 15-19 though, so I'm really excited about that. Nate's coming too (her boyfriend) and it'll be great becuase then she can meet my friends and we can hang out!
I'm also really going to miss Kelly. She's coming down with me Wednesday and that's going to be awesome! We're going to Busch and the beach and she's going to help me set up the house and my room. I'm really excited and not about living the house. It's going to bring lots of responsabilities that I'm not looking forward to and force me to grow up I guess. Not that I have a problem with growing up, but this makes kind of official.
The other thing I'm really excited to leave behind is all my family's drama. It's gotten so bad that I might not go to my grandma's house for Christmas Eve. My family claims to be such Christian people, yet they don't hesitate to turn on their own family and instantly forget what they preach. Granted December is still 4 months away, so things may change, but it's ridiculous.
Well that's all I've got for now. Tomorrow I'm going to lunch with my friend to say bye. I'm not as sad about goodbyes this time. Part of me just doesn't care anymore. Oh well.
PEACE

I guess it's time to start packing
Okay, so here's my real update.
Florida was a blast! It was really hot, but it was so much fun. I think I'm glad that I'm living in Virginia, it's hot but it's not as hot as Florida. That was kind of disgusting it was that hot. We arrived to Florida and that was nice and we took a cab to the hotel. It was so effing expensive. $70 to get to the hotel. Man.
We went to Disney two days and it was so much fun. We got pictures with Woody and Buzz. We spent about 11 hours in each park and just did everything that was there to do.
The second day we were there we went to Medieval Times. That was such a blast! We watched a great show, with jousting and fighting and good food. There was no silverware so we had to eat everything with our hands. The soup was a little tricky, but it all worked out for the best! (Pictures are on Facebook).
So one night while I was laying in the bed trying to sleep I just had an ovwehelming feeling that I needed to pray. It was really weird. I don't know where the feeling came from, but I just layed there and prayed for a while. I wish that I had people to pray with, but it was still really good to just open up I guess.
I haven't started packing yet to move. I have to pack up all my clothes, a lot of my movies and some books. Other than that I don't really have that much stuff. The drive down is going to be fun I think. Kelly is coming with me so I'll have someone to talk to and share the driving with.
I'm reading another Jeffery Deaver novel and it's really good! I started it on the way to Florida and I'm about halfway done. I can't wait to finish it!
Well that's all I got for now, I woke up at 3:30 this morning so I'm kind of tired.
PEACE

Bienvenido!
Wow, I just got back from Florida and it was an amazing time! I can't believe the trip has come and gone already. I've been talking about this trip forever and now it's over.
I guess I'll really update later, but just to let everyone know, I'm moving back to VA in 3 days!!!!

Thank You Very Much, J.K. Rowling
Wow, I feel kind of depressed after finishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Only because that the series is over. It actually ended. I wonder if another great book series will come along like Harry Potter? For some reason I just don't think one will and we'll all be re-reading Harry Potter forever. I won't give away anything, but as soon as you've finished it, please talk to me about it becuase I would love to!
I'm going to Florida tomorrow!! I'm really excited about that too! Stacy, Lexe, and I are going to tear that place up! Show them how the North does it in the South hahaha. But it'll be a lot of fun. A nice vacation before going to back to VA and working again and starting school. I am really excited to go back to VA though. 9 days I believe!!!
I have to take the ferrets to the vet today, that should be funny. Then I'm going out to dinner with Sam from Cold Stone. She's a lot of fun, I'm going to miss her when I leave. I havn't started packing yet...I probably should. Both for school and Florida.
Well now I can start reading one of the 8 other books I bought, still isn't the same as Harry Potter though :(.
I should also go pack, shower, and begin my day.

Half Price Appetizers!!
Let's see, what's good in the world today? I'm currently on page 587 of Harry Potter and my goal is to finish it tonight...we'll see!
Yesterday was quite the interesting day, I woke up and read for a while and then my cousin came over and we hung out and played with the ferrets. We then went to get Chinese food and went off to Senior Palooza Part Deux, which is a big party that my class has once a year to party together. I had already decided before I got there that I wasn't going to be partying that night. So we get there and it was just about the lamest party I have ever been to. There was a theme, actually two, GI Joes and Army Hoes, and Grafitti. I didn't dress either of them, but if it really came down to it I could have been grafitti.
Well at the party, I played many games of beer pong and made my partner drink it all, which was a lot of fun. I just love playing that game! So after a while my friends showed up and it became a little bit more fun. Played more pong and just watched everyone drink themselves away.
So I already had a full car of people to bring home from the party when my friend Morgan asked me if I could bring her, her boyfriend and his friend home since they obviously couldn't drive. I accepted becuase I'm not going to let people drive drunk. Needless to say I ended up doing two runs of people home, after convincing Morgan's boyfriend that he wasn't driving, and yelling at him to get in the car. That was fun. Then I got lost getting back to the party but managed to get there and bring the other people safely to their destinations.
Everyone was trying to give me money for driving them, but they don't have to becuase I would rather pay for gas then go to their funeral, ya know? But needless to say I think there's money sitting in my glovebox. Maybe I'll spend it on dinner tonight, haha.
Well, I think I'm going to read a lot more before dinner, so that's all I've got for now.
PEACE

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Wow. The series comes to an end tonight. I don't know how to handle this. How do you just accept that it's over after so many years of waiting. What will I look forward to for a while? It might sound pretty sad that the only thing I look forward to is Harry Potter, but it is just a great thing to wait for during the summer.
Today I'm seeing Hairspray with my friend. I like movies that are musicals. I think it makes the movie more fun. I ate pizza last night. Granted I had to cut it up into little peices and chew it with my front teeth, but still, it tasted good! I think today I'll eat more Mac n' Cheese shapes. Those go down nice and easy and taste stupendous.
Wow, I'm going to Florida in 4 days. I am so excited. I was looking at the hotel we're staying at, and it's so nice. I'll be taking a lot of pictures! After the Florida trip I have three short days left in NY. It's so close and I couldn't be happier! I've been thinking about it and I just don't think I'll live in NY again. It's time for me to start my life, and I just don't forsee it involvin Rochester, New York.
I get my last paycheck from McDonalds today. I'll be honestly surprised if it's more than $30. As long as it covers my Harry Potter book I'm good.
I have to call the Virginia vet today and set up a time for my ferrets to get all shot up. Hopefully it's not too expensive, but hey, I can't complain.
I'm kind of excited to finish Harry Potter becuase I bought 8 books that I want to read, but obviously I can't read them until I am done with Harry Potter.
Well, that's all I've got for now and I'm kind of hungry.
PEACE
PS my titles never really have anything to do with what I write about. I see random things written on papers or posters and they become my title.

Take A Stand
Welcome back to another interesting update in the life of Andrew! I went to bed around 11 p.m. last night and woke up at 8:42 to a text message from my cousin. I was awake and decided I was up for the day. Then I took my pills to take away the pain, and then I fell asleep until now. I havn't slept this long at all this entire summer. I can't even tell you when the last time I slept in this late was. It feels nice though!
So I'm thinking I'll be able to eat real food soon. Becuase I really want a grilled cheese. It's kind of disgusting how bad I want one. I also want Andrew to make me a chocolate cake. Do it now!!
So I'm going to Florida in 5 days! Super excited about that! And in 13 days I'll be back in VA!!! Moving into my new house! Wow I cannot wait. I have to call the vet in VA and schedule an appt for my ferrets for once I get down there so they can have their next set of shots and stuff. They're so funny!
Harry Potter comes out TOMORROW NIGHT!!! Also really excited about that!
Last night I hung out with this girl from Cold Stone...her name's Sam and she's a lot of fun. Unfortuantely she has a boyfriend, I'm moving back to VA soon, and she's going off to college too. But who knows, maybe we'll meet up again in the future at some point. I've been to Cold Stone three times in the past two days and I really miss the people from there. They're hilarious and lots of fun.
Today I don't think I have any plans. Just going to lay around and watch tv. Maybe read something, but I don't really know. I can open my mouth pretty far now, so maybe that means I can eat something delcious!
Last night I went to my grandparent's house for dinner with my dad and brother. That was fun. I like seeing them. My Grandma made chicken and mashed potatoes and salad. I couldn't eat the salad which made me sad, but I ate the chicken and potateos. Granted it was more like I swallowed all of it, but ya know.
Maybe I'll clean the ferret cage today. It's gross but needs to be done.
That's all I've got for now!

I wish the hiccups would go away.
So I have had the hiccups since last night. Do you know how annoying that is? I am no longer numb, and I am on prescription Ibuprofen, vicodin, and amoxicillin. Aka...I'm pretty drugged up. It's amazing how they get rid of the pain though. I'm a pretty big fan of that!
Last night my brother called me at 2:46 a.m. and asked me if I could bring the jack to his car to him becuase his tired fell off the car and the jack was in the driveway. I was in so much pain from getting up without having any painkillers in my system. But I was a nice person and brought it to him. Then I came home and took a pill and passed out! But my hiccups had come back when I got up to leave.
Today my cousin Katelyn and I are going to my grandmother's house to talk to her about issues we feel are important within our family. It'll be interested to see how it goes. Last night Katelyn came over and we had a long talk with my mom about how our family kind of sucks and how it's bullshit. So we'll see where that goes!
Today I'm also going to dinner at my dad's parent's house. That could be fun, I havn't seen my grandparents since March, so that'll be fun. Then afterwards I'm going to Barnes and Noble with Sam from work. That too will be a lot of fun! I cannot wait for Harry Potter to come out Friday!!!! Then I'm going to Florida on Tuesday! I was looking at the hotel we're staying in, and man is it nice! It's only 6 miles from Disney World! I also want to stop by Hard Rock Cafe and get a shirt, becuase I love Hard Rock shirts!
Well I think Morgan might be coming over for a bit before I go to my grandma's house so this is all I've got for now.

Take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for pain
Wow, what a long day it has been so far. I got up around 6 this morning, but got up at 7. Then I got my wisdom teeth were pulled. That was the grossest procedure I've ever gone through. I couldn't feel the pain of it all, but oh man I heard it all. It was disgusting. It was very crunchy sounding as they dug them out. One of them was impacted and they had to drill it out. That was disgusting too.
So my mouth is almost completely un-numb! Then I can eat something. Kelly is going to take me to Cold Stone in a little bit so I can get a milkshake or smoothie. I don't know which I want yet. Or maybe I'll just get chocolate ice cream!!! Yumm!
Well all I've been doing is watching tv all day. Last night I bought 4 books and I am so excited to read them. Of course they are Jeffery Deaver novels. I don't know if I want to read them right now becuase Harry Potter comes out Friday at midnight and that book takes priority over any other!
Well, I have to change my shirt because it's covered in blood and it's quite gross.
Leave me lots of comments of encouragement!

16 days til I come home!
Wow, I have a mix of emotions right now. I'm really tired (I never sleep in anymore), I'm really nervous (about getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow), and I'm sad becuase yesterday was my last shift at Cold Stone. I was supposed to work 12-5 but then I covered for someone and worked 12-10 instead. It's really okay though becuase I love those people.
When the store had closed I was behind the stone and was like, "Well my friends, it's been a pleasure working with you all!" and then I hugged them all, even the new people who I had met twice haha. Then Sam walked out with me and she gave me a big hug and I'm going to miss working with them. But I think I'm going to go to Seabreeze with Sam on Thursday, so that will be fun! I'll be hopped up on vikodin too, so the rides will be really weird.
Harry Potter comes out Friday! Be excited!!! I'm really sad about that too! I don't want the series to end, but I know that it must. What if the book only said, "HAHA, the real book comes out in 2 years!" I think I would throw a fit and cry. But I know that isn't the case.
So the teeth come out tomorrow. I am so nervous. I hope it doesn't hurt for too long after they're done taking them out. I just want my face to not swell, and for there to be no pain! I go to Florida in 8 days! I'm excited about that too!!! I think it will be tons of fun!! Then three days later I peace on home to Nofo! Time to turn that house into a place to live! For a little while it'll just be Civic, Q-Tip and myself. But I have tons of people down there that I can hang out with and not be bored. Not to mention I'll also start working at Cold Stone down there again. Oh money, you're such a problem but I love you.
Well that's all I got for now, I think I'm going to go take a shower.

Leaves Hands Feeling Soft and Refreshed
Yesterday was a good day! I worked 1-11 at Cold Stone and got paid from both jobs! That makes my bank account, and me, very happy!
At McDonalds I checked the schedule for next week and I'm not on it! I told them I could work Sunday and Monday and they didn't put me on. Oh well, I didn't really want to work there anymore anyway. I'm just going to miss Becky. She was the cool manager. Last night as I was leaving she gave me a hug and said, "The ones I like always leave." And when I told her that I wish I could work longer she said, "It doen't matter, because in the end it only matters how you live." She was really fun to work with.
On to other news. Sunday is my last day at Cold Stone. Andrew = Sad. Last night was this girl Caroline's last day and it made me sad, she was a lot of fun to work with. But I've made some cool friends working there and I bet that I'll still talk to them even after I move back to VA. I think I'll bring my camera into work and take lots of pictures of them.
Today I have my cousin's graduation party and then work 6-11. Usually I'll get 20 hours in a week. I'm working 20 hours in 3 days at Cold Stone haha, I'm going to make that last paycheck count! The other day at our crew meeting we were learning about X-Factor, which is like throwing ice cream and stuff and we had a "finals" where three people (one from each group) threw the ice cream and whoever had the best "skills" won. I went last and decided to try and throw it from behind my back and it landed perfectly in the cup. It was cool. I thought it was either going to hit the wall or the cup, and it hit the cup. I got a $10 gas card! Then I was second in Cold Stone Idol.
Last night when I was working I had just finished mopping the floor and the music was on loud and I was being cool trying to dance (we all know that doesn't work at all) and I slipped and feel right on my face. I bruised my knee and my thumb (random I know, but when I stood up it was black from the bruise). I just sat there and laughed so hard because I am such a tool sometimes. Luckily only one person saw me fall and she came running laughing, then I told everyone else and they laughed too. It's a good thing I can laugh at myself.
Well that's all I got for now.

On to other news. Sunday is my last day at Cold Stone. Andrew = Sad. Last night was this girl Caroline's last day and it made me sad, she was a lot of fun to work with. But I've made some cool friends working there and I bet that I'll still talk to them even after I move back to VA. I think I'll bring my camera into work and take lots of pictures of them.
Today I have my cousin's graduation party and then work 6-11. Usually I'll get 20 hours in a week. I'm working 20 hours in 3 days at Cold Stone haha, I'm going to make that last paycheck count! The other day at our crew meeting we were learning about X-Factor, which is like throwing ice cream and stuff and we had a "finals" where three people (one from each group) threw the ice cream and whoever had the best "skills" won. I went last and decided to try and throw it from behind my back and it landed perfectly in the cup. It was cool. I thought it was either going to hit the wall or the cup, and it hit the cup. I got a $10 gas card! Then I was second in Cold Stone Idol.
Last night when I was working I had just finished mopping the floor and the music was on loud and I was being cool trying to dance (we all know that doesn't work at all) and I slipped and feel right on my face. I bruised my knee and my thumb (random I know, but when I stood up it was black from the bruise). I just sat there and laughed so hard because I am such a tool sometimes. Luckily only one person saw me fall and she came running laughing, then I told everyone else and they laughed too. It's a good thing I can laugh at myself.
Well that's all I got for now.

Solo en Dios puede una persona encuentra felicidad verdadera
My title today is "Only in God can a person find true happiness." As I've been home I think I am truly discovering this, and not really the easy way. I've been hanging out with my friends and it's been fun, I've been happy, but it's not true happiness. I know this because a lot of the time I'm with them we are talking about other people. We never really discuss anything important or worthwhile. I know that when I'm in Virginia and hanging around with my Christian friends, I am really happy because they are there encouraging me to constantly seek out God. But I've also been told lately that I'm not always going to have these people around. I need to figure out how to remain encouraged on my own, well not on my own, but without the help of physical people. This confuses me slightly becuase I don't really know how. At Rockbridge they talked a lot about being a child of God. I'm still unsure of how to do that. Why do I remain so caught up in life and buying things to notice that spiritually I'm suffering? How does buying a new computer (granted I love my new mac) make me happy? It can't. All it can do is give me something else to occupy my time instead of spending it with God. This past week I went to church for the first time since I've been home and it was great. Hearing a homily and connecting with it. I know that I find it in Norfolk so easily. But where is it in Rochester? Is the company I keep distracting me?
Where do you go when you don't know what you're looking for? How do you seek out an asnwer when you don't really know the problem? I guess this is something that will require a lot more prayer and thought. I look forward to church this Sunday and to hear what message God is going to send through the Priest and the Gospel.
Well I have a 9am Cold Stone meeting tomorrow so it's off to bed I go.
PEACE

Easy Open Grip'N'Flip Bottle
Buenos dias! And what a good morning it is. It's July 11, 2007 which means I have exactly 3 weeks left here in the ROC. I cannot wait to get to my new house where there's central air. I never realized how much I took AC for granted until we moved and it's not installed here. It sucks. Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep and it's just so hot that I stick to myself. Gross. I've been thinking about all the things that I need to bring down and I just get really excited thinking about it.
I don't have to work tonight, which is really nice, but kidn of weird. I've been working a lot this summer and a day off is just exhilerating. I also don't have to work tomorrow, but I do have a meeting to go to at 9 am in Pittsford (for those of you that don't know, it's a good 25 minutes away). But I will get paid for it :). Speaking of getting paid, I get paid Friday from both Cold Stone and McDonalds. I think I am going to love these paychecks.
Last night I saw Harry Potter 5 at midnight. It was definitely better than the first four movies, but I just get extremely dissapointed with them becuase they aren't how I pictured. The last fight between Dumbeldore and Voldemort is in my mind, amazingly huge and awesome. In the movie it was just okay. Nothing spectacular. Oh well. I guess that's why I'll always have my imaginiation and that cannot be taken away.
I've been reading this novel for a very long time and I'm almost done. It's called The Stone Monkey by Jeffery Deaver. Normally it never takes me this long to finish a book, but I've been really busy that I never have time to read a lot. I don't know if I should start another book when I finish because Harry Potter 7 comes out on the 21st at midnight and I know that I'm going to dedicate all my time to that book. Why is Harry Potter so capitvating? Does anyone else love them as much as I do? I'm sure there are people who are completely obsessed but I just get generally excited thinking about this world.
I wonder what I'm going to do when the series is over. There won't be any more books to anticipate. Maybe some new hit series will come around. I doubt it, but ya never know.
Today I'm seeing Transformers with Kelly, and then possibly Harry Potter again later tonight. I know I just complained about it, but my friends want to see it again and it wasn't a horrible movie so I can sit through it again.
Well, I have to clean the ferret cage today and I'm not too excited about it...oh well. They smell so it has to be done.
PEACE

How Much is Your Gift Card Worth?
Good morning my readers. How are we this morning? Here in Rochester, NY it's a beautiful day with a sunny skies and probably heat that will kill me later. Last night was my last day at MCDS for the week, and possibly forever. I don't know if they're going to schedule me next week. I hope not. I hate it there again. I just want to work at Pittsford Plaza Cold Stone forever! I have to work there tonight, but I get excited when I think about it. I'm also working there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Possibly Thursday too. Then I'm done :(.
Tuesday is the day that I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled. I hope it's quick and not too much pain. But we'll see I guess. Then I have a three days to get better because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out Friday at midnight, and I have to go to Barnes and Noble to get my copy!!! Speaking of Harry Potter, the fifth movie comes out tonight at midnight, which I'm also going to! I'm going to speed like the dickens from Pittsford to Greece to get there on time.
I really want to speak Spanish right now, but I don't have anyone to speak it with. I need a Spanish friend. Next Summer I'll hopefully be in a Spanish speaking country and then maybe the Summer after that I'll host a foreign exchange student! Wouldn't that be fun?...I think it would be!
I wonder if French is a hard language to learn. I start next semester and I guess after that I'll decide if I'm going to continue with it or to just focus on Spanish. If I did just Spanish I would probably be able to graduate early. OR spend a nice long time studying abroad! My goal as of now is to go to Costa Rica, thanks to a wonderful recommendation by Ryan Weber, but who knows. I also have a free trip to Spain sometime in the near future and I am REALLY excited about that.
Anyone want to go to Spain with me sometime? I want to go to Europe with my friends and chill. And if we go to Spain, it'll be easier to communicate with the natives, or Italy, and possibly France. Haha.
Well I have a lot of stuff to do today so this will end my post. I know you're heartbroken becuase you just love the way I write and it drips off your tongue as you're reading.
PEACE
PS I love my MacBook

Soothes and Cools Sunburned Skin
What a day it has been already. I went to bed at 2 am and was woken up at 6:22 by my ferrets. They're noisy drinkers. Oh well.
This morning I actually went church. Every Sunday I wake up to go, and then I sit at my computer and just watch the time go by and don't go. But I'm really glad that I went today.
There was nun there who is form Ireland who is involved in a missions order. She has lived in Kenya for 32 years. She was describing how unfortuante it is there, but how great it is to be spreading the great word of God to the children and adults. I was blown away by her stories and I feel even more convicted than ever to go on a missions trip next year. I don't know if it would be to Africa, preferably somewhere where they speak Spanish, but I definitely feel that I need to go. Not only will it help other people but it will help me grow in my faith in ways that I cannot comprehend.
Another thing the priest talked about was how we all have to be Jesus to our friends. I have been hearing this many times from someone and it never clicked. But today I realized how important it is. To be there for and to love our brothers and sisters is extremely important, and it shouldn't be detered by petty human feelings. This is causing me to reevaluate my relationships and to see how or even if I've been "Jesus" to them. Do I care for them and show them love when they hurt me? Do I never give up? These are all questions I'm asking myself and I'm guessing that everyone should ask themselves.
Well, now I have to go work at Cold Stone 12-10.
PEACE

Q-Tip and Civic
So I went and bought another ferret today. His name is Q-Tip since he's got a white head. They're pretty funny when they're together. They were wrestling and at one point one of them made a horrible screeching sound and it sounded like he was hurt, but then they continued playing. Now after they're all done wrestling they're curled up next to each other sleeping. They're really cool.
I have to work today 6-11, it should be fun. I'm working with my fun assistant manager. She likes to fake yell at me and call me Kevin. I'm going to miss these people when I leave there. I joined their facebook group so that we can stay friends haha.
I think I should start packing up my stuff and get it all ready to move. I'm so lazy that I don't want to haha.
I finally got all my stuff onto the mac (my itunes and pictures)...I have so many pictures. I have a 2GB flash drive and I filled it once already and am now putting the rest of the pictures on it to transfer...I think I take a lot of pictures. Oh well, they document life.
I don't really have anything else to write about so I might get some lunch and a nap!

Civic
Today I bought a ferret! His name is Civic. I think it's a cool name. I was driving home with him (in my Civic) and I just thought it fit.
Unfortunately he's really lonely without his siblings around, so my mom told me I can get another one haha. So tomorrow I'm going to go back and get one of his brothers. Then they'll play all day together and won't be lonely.
So much is happening so fast. In less than a month I'll be in VA living on my own. As excited as I come across, I'm really kind of nervous. I think for the first 2 weeks or so I'll be there completely by myself. That's a little scary. But I'll be working and I'll have Civic and soon-to-be-named brother to keep me company.
I'm excited to go back to Blessed Sacrament church. I love that church. I'm excited to hang out with people that I havn't seen in a while. I'm excited to eat at Jason and Ashley's. But I'm still scared. I guess this is a taste of the future. Living on your own. I know that if anything comes up my family is there for me, but they're far away. True independence and growing up is scary.
Well I'm tired and have a lot to do tomorrow, but I'll contiue this later.

Everything mac, everything else
So I got my macbook today! It's so cool! I still have no idea how to work everything on it yet, but I'm definitely in love. I cannot wait til I get it all figured out and get all my music and photos on it! Then I shall be all set!
So I have one more BIG thing to buy this summer and then I'm done spending money. A ferret. I still havn't thought of a good name for him/her (hopefully a her, but you never know). I hope it's funny and loves to play. And better yet, I hope it loves VA becuase that's where it will be living with me in a few short weeks!
Speaking of which, I cannot wait to move in! To be on my own and just live down there. I'm really excited. I get to see my friends again whom I havn't seen in a month or so.
Also, Harry Potter comes out really soon too! I am REALLY excited about that. I hope I have it finished by the time I go to Florida or else I'll be reading when I'm there!
Well I'm just waiting for my cousin to come over so we can run to Best Buy so I can finish my setting up process!!
PEACE

Here at Cold Stone we sing songs, do da do da
Happy 4th of July! I guess that's where I should start. Although, it doesn't feel like July becuase it's cold and rainy right now. Oh well. So I hate rainy days, and sometimes I hate holidays even more because I don't have anything to do. People are with their families or having parties and usually I am too, but I don't think that the 4th, on a rainy day, warrants a party. I have to work tonight and I really hope people don't want ice cream on a cold rainy day.
Yesterday I went to the dentist and my teeth are nice and clean, kind of hurt, but clean. I also scheduled to have my wisdom teeth pulled on July 17th. That means that my last day of work is going to be the 16th! I'm excited about that part because I'll have some time off in the Summer before I go to Florida and before I leave. I hope it doesn't hurt too much when they're doing it. I hope I get good painkillers too!
The other day I ordered a bunch of Disney movies from Amazon and they should be here tomorrow! Speaking of being here, my MacBook should be here tomorrow too!! I cannot wait for it to arrive. I received some helpful information so that I can transfer all my stuff to the new computer!
I bought a ferret cage on Monday, and I'm going to buy the ferret sometime next week. I'm really excited about that too. I wonder what its name will end up being...hmm
Well that's all I've got for now, except yesterday at work I cuz my leg on the stupid cold stone and it started bleeding.
Al fin.

Just brushed clean feeling
I have to go to the dentist tomorrow...not really excited. I know I have a cavity and that's just not fun. I also think my wisdom teeth need to be pulled so that's just going to suck. I hope it doesn't mess up my summer plans, aka Florida and moving back to Nofo. Although, if I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled it'll mean I can't work! Hooray! But the pain is going to blow.
So what's new in the life of Andrew...well, I ordered a macbook on Saturday and that should be here soon! I'm getting a ferret soon. I bought the cage today, and the pet store gets new ones in next week sometime so I'll go then and see what's good.
Tonight is my last night at McDs for the week. Then I have three nights at Cold Stone. Not this coming friday, but the one after that should be quite a nice paycheck! That's all that's really new with me. Just hanging out and chilling. Counting down the days til I go to Florida and then move back to Virginia. I'm super excited. I want classes to start and I just want to live down there. It's going to be great living on my own. Probably a little scary too, but overall a lot of fun. I'm going to be the only one living there for a while I think. Andrew is moving in on the 15th or so, and I don't know when the other three are moving in. I think when my mom moves me in I'll ask her if she'll buy the first bunch of grocieries! I'm spoiled I know, but hey...what can I say?
I'm excited to go to Busch when I get there because I want to ride the new ride! My friend Kelly is coming down with me when I move in, that's going to be tons of fun too! Well that's all I've got for now. Please enjoy my life.
PEACE
