So I decided to create a blog because I never update my website, so I was thinking if I had something like this, I would update...or at least try more! So, I hope you guys like it, it's going to be pretty random, but if you're friends with me you should not be surprised by this fact.
Aloha! If you're still here than I know this blog does serve a purpose to greater America...okay, maybe not GREATER America, but part of it. Be sure and let me know what you think!

Sunday, June 26, 2005
Well, yesterday at approximately 4 PM, I arrived home from the annual Austad family trip to Holter Lake. That's right everyone...FISH CAMP. I left on Thursday and headed up there with A1, Kayla, Schubert, David, and Roscoe. I made the mistake of letting Andrew drive my car and he totally overheated it and was going like 100 miles an hour and we had to pull over in the Dearborn and skip rocks on the river for 10 minutes because it was going to explode. So yeah. We finally made it up there and found Davie's family...his dad, Dean and Tiffany and Tiffany's sister and some kid, Sue and Dan, and Carrie's kids- Jessica and McKayla. They had brouight enough stuff for six years of camping as opposed to four days of it and were already pitching their tents. We began looking for a place to put the tents when we discovered that it was 10 dollars to do so...10 dollars a tent...a day...And we had 4 tents. We didn't really feel like dropping 80 bucks for two nights of camping but we did it anyway because we didn't really have a choice. So the boys wanted to go swimming, and we wanted to pu up our own tents, so we let them go and we went to work on Roscoe's tent. We put three of them up (because Andrew insisted on putting his own together.) And were very proud of ourselves. So yeah...Oh wait...back up...as we were leaving town, we went to drop my puppy off at Bob's and I got my thumb slammed in a car door. (injury number 1) Back to the lake: so we hung out for a bit and roasted some marshmallows and made some s'mores and I called Mattie from the parking lot because it was the only place I could seem to get service. haha. I got in an arguement with David and decided i needed to go to bed before I ruined my night. So I went to my tent and....called Matty again...haha. THEN I went to sleep. The next day was quite an adventure. Upon my wakening...after eveyone else...I was informed that i missed...pancakes. Yeah. How shitty is my luck? So I got up and meandered about for a bit when we decided to go to the cove. We went to the cove and the boys (and Jungle Woman and Roscoe's friend Jeremy) went for a dip. David threw some crawdads at us and Ashley freaked out and Roscoe did a finding nemo impression and i laughed...a little. Then we decided to head up to the Arch. We rode way back into the wilderness and saw the Arch. A1 and I were wearing flip flops, but we toughe dit out. We crossed the creek and began to hike up the mountain. my shoes were becoming a hassle and so I just took them off. I hiked up the mountain with no shoes on. (injury number 2) It hurt a lot, but because of it, I earned teh nickname Mountain Woman. Yes. So we climbed up there and then we threw some rocks across the road and tehn we climbed back down. Schubert Ross and Jeremy stayed up there and hurled some 300 pound boulders down cliffs and tehn they came down. We headed back to camp to eat some lunch. Cheeseburgers. Matthew and Nicole were there when we got back. Mitchell and Vicky were coming up that night. So we hung around again fro a bit and then we took off on the boat. The boys wanted to fish a little bit, but it didn't really happen. Everyone got pushed in except Ashley. But this is the best part of the whole trip. Injury number 3! So I was in the front seat of teh boat and Jeremy was next to me. I was just about to fall asleep in the sun when I felt something hit my head. I was like ow and i turned around to yell at Jeremy for whacking me with his pole, but all i saw was fishing line attachted to my head. Not cool. He was like it's hooked to her hair so I was like..not a big deal. But then Kayla came over and was like yeah...it's just hooked to her...scalp..it's in her scalp you guys. Andrew says the reason it didn't hurt right away is because i was in shock. Yeah, shock. SO I started crying when I started to feel it and Andrew made me hold Kayla's hand and he pulled it out and he said he heard it pop and by this time everyone had stopped laughing because they realized that it really was stuck in my head. It sucked, but then AS\shley told me about how it could have been worse, I could have gotten a squid hook stuck in my throat. Yeah. And then they gave me a cold beer...to put on my head silly. It was oaky, but Jeremy felt really bad. The Roscoe decided I had to go in the water so I was hiding and they were like grab her and i was like I'll go in! I'll go in! because if they would have thrown me in it would have hurt a bit. So they said theyd give me ten seconds to get in and so i went to jump in but they pretty much pushed me in anyway. So yeah. We came back to shore and me and Kayla went up to the Boat loft to stare at Matt, the cutie that works there. We just like to listen to him answer the phone. lol. So yeah. We sat around up there and pretty much did nothing but laugh at eachother for an hour. (My face hurts!!) Then we went back down to camp and sat arounmd some more and ate dinner. I called Mattie again for a few minutes to tell him about my injuries...then Mitchell and Vicky showed up with their friends. We went out on the boat again so the boys could really fish, but we couldn't stay out long because the lights were not working right and it was getting dark. I met Mitchell's friend's brother John. he was pretty cool and we pretty much sat around the fire talking about random sutff all night. I told him all about Mattie being in South Carolina and coming home soon and he told me all about his troubles and it was a nice mutual stroy sharing evening. I had to sleep in my car that niight because Schubert had put the spider covered tarp in my tent to hide the keg and teh spiders crawled off the tarp and infested my tent. Super duper. So at four I went to sleep. We came home yesterday, leaving the boys up there (poor Nicole, she's the only one left.) I dropped everyone off and came home. I have a ragin sunburn on my legs and that's not very fun let me tell you...(haha Kayla: Nicky I forgive you, but are you kidding me? Sorry babe.) Yeah, I came home and ate some dinner and laid down around 7 for a nap but i didn't wake up unitl like a half hour ago...haha..oops. Anyway, so that was my experience at fish camp. It was a total blast and I can't wit until next year. So my phone is currently shut off due to lack of ...bill paying..haha. oops again, so you won't be able to get a hold of me for a couple days probably. Sorry bout that. Anyways, Mattie comes home in 8 days and I am so happy. The tyler thing is a long story that I can't tell just anyone, so if you wanna know...you'll have to ask me. A1 leaves in 10 days and i'm gonna cry. I'm thinking about going to college this year actually...so i dunno....but yeah...talk to you guys soon.

Weezer - Beverly Hills Lyrics
Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me
I didn't go to boarding schools
Preppie girls never looked at me
Why should they?
I ain't nobody
Got nothing in my pocket
Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rolling like a celebrity
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Look at all those movie stars
They're all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between
I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a king
Take my picture by the pool
'cause I'm the next big thing
Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rolling like a celebrity
Livin' in Beverly Hills
The truth is I don't stand a chance
It's something that you're born into
And I just don't belong
No I don't
I'm just a no-class beat down fool
And I will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
And watch the stars play
Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rolling like a celebrity
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills |
