Today is June 2, just after midnight. Happy Scandinavian Days! I was there Friday night, watching some folk dancing, followed by the amazing Isiserettes drill team and drum corps. Then we ventured to the north park to enjoy the carnival, and heard my friend Nathan's band perform. Finally, we saw some really great fireworks. Tomorrow, er, later today there will be much more fun and excitement, including State Fair the musical.

Today is June 2, but it's later. Almost midnight again =)
I'm at my friend Lars's house, hanging out with a bunch of my cool highschool friends. I had another awesome fun Scandi Day. First I marched in the parade, then watched the rest, then ate yummy Immanuel Lutheran Church Basement food with some of the members of "Seek First," Nathan's band. Later I took a nap and went to the musical. Right now we are watching a show with scary freaky real video on The Learning Channel.

Today is June 5. Happy Birthday Keith Baedke. Only he is off someplace learning how to be a camp counselor.
I had a beer, and it was okay. Well, half a beer, actually. Courtesy my wonderful friend Scott. It was pretty good. Miller High Life "lite" in a can.

Awesome link: Don't Stop Believin'. I was e-mailed this page by my cool cousin Ryann. It takes a while to load if you are a moron on a dialup like me, but totally worth it!!!

Today is June 11. Scott (hereinafter, "Scott the King") strikes again. This time, he was personally responsible for me signing up for a class i have dreamed about for two years, Creative Writing: Screenplays. You can read about it here (you'll have to scroll down...dang web dudes not putting paragraph tags in there!) Yeah. So I'm really excited about that. If all goes well I may be ready to pursue my dream of writing for television!!

In other news, I went to see "Enemy at the Gates" with two of my cool Hy-Vee friends. I went in thinking...oh, it's a dollar movie, whatever. But I actually liked it a lot! It was really entertaining and it had a good message, too. The only lame part of the movie was the uncomfortable sex scene....It led my friends and I to shout "WHY??!" at the screen.

Today is June 14. Work is starting to suck because of certain ppl who think I am "bossy" even after I honestly make an effort to be nice to them. But most of my co-workers are still really cool so that makes me make this face =)

One day , I decided that Larry needed a USB card for one of his PCI slots. So, I'm bidding on one. Once he has this newfound USB power, Larry will be ready for a super-cool Apple Pro Mouse! Of course, they want like 60 bucks for it, so I'll try to get that off eBay too.

Today is June 18 and I am happy. Here is a little song for you:
Life is good, said I, said I
Life is good, said I.
I got a haircut the other day (or as I call it, "my new hair") My brother is home from Atlanta where he was attending the HOSA conference. I'm going to buy some new clothes and a scanner.
On the downside, I still haven't won a USB card for Larry, nor a Pro mouse. So I guess we will have to be patient.

In other news, I have been dreaming a lot lately. Last night i had a very vivid dream that I was reading Tavie's journal. (I refuse to call it a "blog" b/c I hate that word...no offense to folks that like it). How sad is that? I have a dream about something that happens every day. Reading a web page. At least it was a cool one =) And in the dream, I was going to email her in reply to what I read...I don't think I'll tell her about the dream though!

Today is June 28. Yesterday was really fun. I went swimming at the Boone pool with my friend Sharon, and then saw Almost Famous at the Union with SUB films. Afterwards, Faith and her friend Eric and I hung out. Faith is such a cool friend and Eric proved to be a great guy as well. Starting today I have to work 4 days in a row! Scary! Tonight I get my pics back from Lars's wedding and I will scan them with my groovy new scanner.
Oh yeah, I got a UNIX book at the library the other day. So I can figure out vi (pronounced "vee-aye" according to Eric) and be cool. Though not to say that Pico doesn't rock, because it does =)
