Oh, my! Today has been quite the day.
It's almost three in the morning as I type this, and yet I'm fairly awake, despite it being a LONG day. But, it was a FUN day.
I woke up at about 7:30am and did my normal routine, preparing to head to the high school and planning on arriving at 9:40 like always. But, then, as nine o'clock rolls around, I realize, it's Friday! Friday means squeeze schedules at the high school. Third period starts at twenty-one after, and I’m running late! Makeup isn’t done, hair is frizzy, this is exam review day, I can’t risk falling behind. Without a doubt, I start panicking. So, I race through my morning routine, and manage to get to the classroom right at 21 after. But… no one is in there, not even the teacher. Time for more panic! I go through the hall and look for where my teacher and the class could be. Several doors down, I find her in another teacher’s classroom. As it turns out, it ISN’T squeeze schedule, and I am, in fact, early to class! After she explains this and we head back to the classroom, I take advantage of the extra time and work ahead on the massive review packet.
In class, my teacher invited the entire class over to her newly built (still in process, I should say) geo-dome home for a tour and cookies. The entire year she has kept the class updated on the progress of her new home. Pictures, stories, and all that good stuff. She said that the class could stop by any time between three and five; she even gave us directions.
I plan out the rest of my day on the car ride back to the house. Josh comes over after he returns from driving Bruce to Canton at around 12:30, which means I have from 10:40 until then to do math homework, fix my hair again, eat something, and other random things. Then, he’d hang out until 2:30, at which point we’d head over to the Dome Home. By four o’clock, Josh and I would be back home, and head out to Wooster to deliver some money to an acquaintance of his that he owed him from when school was in session. We’d be back by 6, which gave us time to eat dinner with the family, hang out, and play Wii.
Those plans promptly went out the window.
At 11:40-ish, Grandpa called and said he needed me to drive out to the Garage (the place where he works on cars) because he needed to compare the way my convertible’s ragtop was attached to Heather’s new car (which is basically identical to mine) so that he could properly install her ragtop. So, there went all of my prep time. I drive out there, and Grandpa says that it’ll only take twenty minutes or so. Needless to say, I don’t make it home in time, so I have to tell Josh to show up at my house later than planned since I wouldn’t be there. I had no problem helping Grandpa, though. I like being able to help.
I get home, and the instant I walk in the door, Josh is calling, asking when it’s ok to show up. He arrives five minutes later, and 45 minutes after that, we head out to the Dome Home.
The tour was amazing. That house is so MASSIVE and spacious and beautiful! Once everything is finished, the house will be gorgeous. But, since Josh and I are on a time constraint because we need to meet the person he owes money to at a set time, we have to head out before most of the people show up.
We go back to my house, jump in his car, and head out north on I-77, assuming that we know exactly what we’re doing. Well, it doesn’t take long to discover that we have NO IDEA what we’re doing.
We get lost, nearly end up in Cuyahoga Falls (which is close to the northern-most point of Ohio, right by Lake Erie). At that time, we decide to turn around, call his mom, and admit we’re lost without any sense. She miraculously knows exactly how to get us from this random place to a town we’ve never been in, all right from the mental maps resting on the tip of her tongue. What could have been a 30 minute drive turned into an hour and a half drive just to get there! Then, we can’t find the meeting spot, and we end up in the “getto” (if you can call it that) of Wooster. Now we call his friend and he somehow figures out where we are, meets us, and guides us to a safer place. There, we make idle chat, and Josh pays him what he owes. Then he tells us how to get back to my house. I don’t think we got home until 6:40 or so… It was CRAZY! We got lost so many times, over and over, on our way to Wooster (which turned out to be a lot closer than we thought to where I live), and then on the way home, it’s smooth sailing because we have accurate directions from his mother combined with that of his friend we met. Both of which collaborated with what my grandma said we should do.
Finally, when we made it back to I-77, I called Mom that she should have Grandma start the food right away because both Josh and I are famished.
Back at the house, we sit at the table talking for nearly an hour after we finish our meal of home-made hamburgers (YUM!) and discuss all sorts of random stuff, most of which often got turned dirty. Then we finally get all settled in, and Mom and Grandma have to leave to pick up Heather from some party thing, leaving Josh and me alone in the house, which shocked me. Granted, nothing dirty or bad happened, and they knew it wouldn’t, but it still was a surprise.
Then, towards the end of the night we watch the Cavs game and each time Mom walked in, they started losing; it didn’t take long for us to banish her. Needless to say, with just the last second left on the clock, they managed to come up and WIN! It was amazing. They were down a few points, and with one wild shot, the game was won. It was just awe-striking.
And per usual, Josh didn’t leave until about 1am. Frequently, he just crashes on the couch, often with another guy (Tony, or Billy, thus far), and just sleeps here. Mom loves having him around. It’s amazing how well they get along. I love it.
So, yeah, my day was crazy.

Can I Finally Breathe?
Yikes, I'm back! I have started working for my mom as part of her transcription business. Recently, she had fallen behind, and I caught the over-flow work. It never seemed to end. Right now I'm finally to a point where we're comfortably behind, rather than drastically behind. So, that has kept me from blogging.
Kent is officially over for the spring, and I shall return in the fall. Now, all I have to worry about is the one class I have at the high school. Amazingly, my teacher said that she would let me attend her third period class in place of the first period class that I'm enrolled in. The coursework is exactly the same, and it runs at the same identical pace as the first period class, the only difference is the time. This way, I can sleep in two more hours. So, that works out wonderfully for me! And soon enough, the high school shall be done for the season as well! Summer break, Here I come!

Picture It... In The Nut House... 2009
Anyone out there ever watch The Golden Girls? Well, any time I would get sick and stay home, it seemed like that and The Nanny on Lifetime were always on. So, I watched. Point being, the title for this blog comes from something Sophia used to say (by the way, she just recently died). As she'd begin one of her stories, she'd say, "Picture it, Sicily..." and state some random year then prattle of some story that always had Sal in it.
Well, as I promised earlier, now you can TRULY "picture it" with me. This entry, I shall try and stay within time order, starting at the beginning of all this insanity from this semester.
Some of the loungies back in March, this was just as i was starting to talk to them and not sit in the corner (as I am when I took this picture).
This would be Josh and Tony in March, making a pop bottle explode with Mentos.
My sister, Heather, blew up a condom after watching youtube videos, all the while my mom was video taping it and grandma was howling with laughter.
Here is the first time Tony and Josh ever came over to my house. They're playing Wii Baseball... I think it was more fun for me to watch than it was for them to play! Even though it was a nice March day, they still played inside.
At aproximately 2:00 AM, Josh started giving Billy the ride of his life! Somehow we always end up at Wal-Mart. Here, we're in the parking lot. But, this instance, no one is meowing.
And then there's Coney...
And then there's the day we built a fort made out of couch chairs in the lounge (and got yelled at for it.) Eventually, it spanned the entire width of the room and was taller than any of the people building it.

Life: Revisited
My Goodness! Have I really been away this long? Alright, it's time for me to get back into the game. So much has happened. My second semester of college has been one giant party with a dash of soap opera. I shall try to do a condensed version of the past 4 months.
When classes started in January, I had a gap of free time between classes from noon until five thirty. It didn't take me long to discover that the lounge was full of interesting and entertaining people. I even have class with two of the people that were in there at the same time with me. Soon, I learned names and we became friends. The lounge became the highlight of my day. Within time, we all started gravitating to my house and hanging there. Before long, we were playing games, making noise, and hanging out at every chance possible. February followed suit. (Literally, we played card games like euchre all the time.)
By the time March rolled around, drama slowly seeped in. As most of my people know, I have been dating Corey for a long while; almost a year and a half. But there had been rocky spots in the past where we fought over the topic of sex... needless to say, the issue became the death of our relationship and he broke up with me because of it at the end of March. Directly before and for several weeks after some NASTY things were said by him, but I don't need to rehash healing wounds. But there were many soap-opratic moments. For those of you who read this blog at the clear begining, remember Jordanne? Well, Corey tried asking her to date him, she declined, and he persisted. During the time that he thought he would be able to date her, he was happy after the break up, all the while I was misserable (because he was trying to secure a date with her WHILE we were still dating, before he would break up with me). But then, at Wal-Mart at two in the morning, Josh asked me out. Then the tables were turned. Corey had no girl and wanted me back, but all chance of that had been ruined with the things he said and by his actions. So, now, he was misserable and I became the happy one.
With Josh, Tony, Hayden, Jordanne, and all of my other peeps that I've been blessed to meet and become close with in the Lounge (go loungies!) I was able to keep myself sane during all of the drama that the issues eminating from Corey and miscellanious other people. I stayed entertained and preoccupied with trips to Wallyworld, the mall, card games in the lounge, Hayden's rice crispies (home made... BY HIM), roadtips to random places, and of course, by people staying over at my house. Oh, and by the way, Tony and Josh both LOVE my mother and she ADORES them! She talks every chance she can get with them on IM, and when they're at my house, she joins in on the fun! It's amazing the way everyone seems to get along with her.
Before I started dating Josh, I was oblivious to MANY things. As it turns out, the guys were hitting on me! ME! The silent little girl who sits in the corner and reads. It all started with one day, Tony and Josh took over my laptop as I had the webcam up and running, trying to chat with mom. They ended up being flashed by my grandma, trying to sell me to a czechoslovakian pedophile goat farmer, and counting urinals in the boy's bathroom with my mom. That was at the begining of January (yes, back to the begining, a nice little back-track). Then apparently, they constantly hit on me. I was totally oblivious and missed every instance. As it turns out, three of the guys in the lounge actually LIKED me in a sense that could go beyond friendship. But, I haven't had so much fun in the longest time. This semester has been a blast. Before I even started dating Josh, he and Tony were constantly over at my house... One time Josh even stayed past 2:30 in the morning! Another time, a week or two ago, Josh and Tony crashed at my place after Jordanne and Hayden left, just because they could! It was amazing.
Inbetween all of that, Josh was going through hell trying to sort out what to do with his girlfriend, Katie, who had broken up with him, slammed him on myspace and with her friends, only for them to get back together. Without a doubt, that was a mistake of hers. His heart broke and he lost trust in her and faith in their relationship. It wasn't long until they broke up the final time. Now, I get to be the happiest girl on Earth by dating him. Her loss.
(WARNING: here comes a small dosage of "gush" time)
I don't know how all the cards fell into place and I was able to actually meet him, let alone date him. Mom says this is the happiest she's ever seen me. He can always make me laugh, no matter what, and he treats me "like a princess" (his words). I never imagined that I would date a guy like him; he's fun constantly, loves hanging with me every chance he gets, and has a great personality, doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs! (End Gushing)
And then, just a week or so ago, Tony started talking with Jordanne. Meanwhile Jordi was in a relationship with a guy named Adam, whom she wasn't all too thrilled about. So, within a week of Jordi and Tony talking via IM, she dumped Adam and is now on cloud nine with Tony!
Now, we are trying to hook Hayden up with a friend of Jordanne's just so that we can all have someone. And, if it works, she shall be Hayden's first girlfriend!
Tomorrow (Friday), we are all meeting up at my house (as we do almost every friday night, and frequently throughout the week) and then just have a blast hanging together. Shall be fun!
My next post, I shall toss in some pictures of everyone.
