these are my confessions....

now that song will be stuck in your head......oh usher. that song takes me back. to 7th grade. 

well, here we are. time for some confessions. they are in no particular order and may be pretty random. 

so here goes.....

-i don't understand all the hype/fascination with superhero/comic movies. in fact, i think it's dumb. 

-last night i stood on a chair to kill a bug on the wall. i broke the chair and the bug flew away. 

-i bought myself two birthday presents and wrapped them. pathetic? maybe. did it stop me? absolutely not. 

-when i'm in the car, i think i'm mariah carey. 

-i thought i broke the laundry machine because i forgot how to use it. i'm hereby publicly outing myself on how long it's been since i've done my own laundry. 

-i get more zits on my limbs than my face. 

-i think ryan lochte from the olympics is a major babe. 

-not even the sun will stop me from wearing black. 

-i haven't shaved my legs in a week. 

-going to 'the price is right' show taping is on my bucket list. firing drew carey from it is also on there.
-i eat trader joe's cookie butter straight out of the jar....trust me, if you tried it, you would do the same.

-i laugh at my own statuses on facebook. i figure if you're going to take the time to post something, it might as well be funny.

-i wish i was in seattle right now to see/hear the thunderstorms.

-i still can't believe i'm turning 20 in two days.

my brother

is one funny guy. just like this post, i'm dedicating this post to my brother and the funny slash ridiculous things he says.


chase (while watching keeping up with the kardashians) :"gotta love Bruce Jenner moments of reflection. cue the montage."


me: "burger king needs to ditch their 'trendy' nonsense advertisements and go back to the king. BRING BACK THE KING!!"
chase:"yeah! let's go king. vamos el rey! they changed from king-centric to food-centric. big mistake. the king doesn't easily forgive."


me: "are you going to any more short shorts conventions?"
chase: "haha. you like?"
me: "no. one question: why?"
chase: "answer: suns out, guns out."
me: "wow. this is when i pretend i don't know you...."
chase: "you may not acknowledge me, but you can't ignore Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary."


me: "would you judge me if i told you i was watching 'diners, drive-ins, and dives' with guy fieri right now?"
chase: "only if you were wearing wrist bands on your forearms, a watch on one wrist, 3 bracelets on the other, wearing a bowling short with flames, sunglasses on the back of your head and a visor with bleach blonde hair.
then i would judge you."


me: "chase i shot a gun yesterday! AMERICA!"
chase: "USA, USA, USA! back to back world war champs."


chase: "'call me maybe' is stuck in my effing head."
me: "HEY I JUST MET YOU.....
        ....AND THIS IS CRAZY....
        ....BUT HERE'S MY NUMBER"
chase: "i appreciate the caps."
me: "i'm having trouble CONTROLLING THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE!"
chase: "text modulation."


chase: "what is your number one jam these days?"


chase: "of course, i called Pea on her birthday."
me: "aw i bet she loved that!"
chase: "yep, discussed the merits and attributes of zoo animals."


chase: "I think joey greco produced the lipozene commercials."
me: "haha what makes you say that?"
chase: "it's creepy in the same way."

kayaking

Since today was (is...) a beautiful day at a lovely 80 degrees, my dad and i decided to go kayaking. we first went to boston harbor, but they were all booked. we decided to go to tugboat annie's (which is one of my parent's favorite restaurants) on budd bay where you can rent a kayak or canoe. we got the last double! i definitely underestimated the rowing -- my arms got tired way faster than i was expecting. 

it was definitely worth the experience - and helped the tan i am currently working on :)

 ready to go.

wishing the happiest of birthdays to my oldest niece -- pearson chase.

i can't believe it! 

i'm so happy we not only share the same birthday month, but a family as well.

happy america's birthday.

to sum it up:

i shot a gun (two, to be exact.)
i roasted a hot dog over the fire.
i watched fireworks.
i got muddy.
i met new people.

USA, USA, USA!
