GAAAAAAAAAH

So yesterday I didn't blog. I kinda felt incomplete, but I really didn't have any time to. And when I did, I forgot to get on here. Oh well. So yesterday was boring and then fun. We went out, My dad, step mom, sister, and I and we first went to Wal-Mart to get a picture for this lady that my step mom works with. Then we went to Michael's and we got frames and such. When we were there though, I found the most amazing piece of work. It was a movie clip of Breakfast at Tiffany's. You probably don't know this, but Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actor in the entiiiiiiire world. I'm serious. I love her! The picture was of her when she was staring into at the chandeliers, eating her breakfast. IT WAS GORGEOUS. It was 25x42 or something along those lines and I wanted it sooooooo bad, but I couldn't get it that day. Oh well. Right when we were leaving Michael's it started to rain. It wasn't that bad until we got into the truck, and went over to Target (Mary needed nicotine gum). Since nobody wanted to get out, my dad went out, and got the gum alone. After he left, the wind started up as well. There were about eight Target carts right beside our truck, and they were coming closer and closer. So Mary, being the loving wife that she is, got out and started corralling the carts. She was only one person though, so I got out and helped her, too. As soon as I was out there my Vans were drenched, my hair was soaked, and I officially was unofficially working for Target. I felt proud. Until I got into the truck and it was near freezing because ,up until ten minutes prior, it was 95 degrees outside, so of course we had our A/C on full blast. Then dad got back in the car and we were on our way to Chick-fil-a. Lemme' tell ya, I lovelovelove Chick-fil-a. Their chocolate milkshakes are my favorite thing in the world. I just realized I say that a lot. Oh well, anyways since we were absolutely saturated we decided to go through the drive threw. That was... A fail. They had a hood over the speaker, but the wind was blowing so hard it simply blew the rain right into my dad's face. After he rolled down the window for five seconds, he got frustrated and pulled around, and drove into a parking slot. Then we all told him what we wanted and he went inside to order. I ordered a char grilled club sandwich, JUST the sandwich. I didn't get fries or a drink so I could purposely get a milk shake, when I asked for one Mary said no. I didn't feel like arguing so I just said okay and forgot about it. When my dad got back in with the drinks and such, Mary realized I didn't get anything to drink. She said, "Oh, you didn't get anything?" and I said, "No, all I wanted was a milkshake to drink." and then she felt bad, I can't tell you if that made me feel good or great, but it was definately one of those. Then my dad, being the great dad he is, pulled into the drive threw window part of Chick-fil-a and we waited 15 minutes for a small chocolate milkshake and Mary got a refil of Dr. Pepper. I was happy. My family was happy. And when I opened the box to my sandwich, it looked like an advertisement sandwich. It was delicious. So then we went home and I changed clothes, laid in bed, and eventually fell asleep after watching three movies. In other words: It was a fun day.

Shocking!

So today went by surprisingly. Last night was... Good, I guess. The chicken Jordan made was awfully dry. I don't think it was her fault at all. I, personally, hate chicken that isn't grilled or breaded. This chicken was cooked in a pan.... So to me, it was ovened. I guess I don't like ovened chicken. Anyways, today was an off day for me. I didn't take a shower till 4:00 p.m. because I had to wash basically all of my clothes. I hate my shower. It spews out water at you from it's spout as if it didn't know how to spew. WHAT SHOWER SPOUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SPEW WATER AT YOU CORRECTLY?! It's extremely annoying. My dad's shower is perfect. I try taking as much showers in his bathroom as possible. I can't take a shower in his bathroom until my step mom gets more of her clay conditioner. I lovelovelove that stuff! It's from Aveda. I think that's how you spell it. Oh well. Anyways, it makes my hair feel incredibly soft and it smells soooo good. I wouldn't eat it though... I don't think that would taste good at all. So today I wasn't supposed to text ANYONE. That was a failure. I texted at 12:07 at night. And again at 9:45 in the morning. I can't just NOT text someone after they text me. Especially if the person that texts me is one of my best friends. So, no. I'm not even going to try that, anymore. Today Lauran and I went to Wal-Mart and were specifically told to buy scooby snacks. Scooby snacks to my family are basically oatmeal cream pies, star crunch, annnnd rice crispy treats. DELICIOUS. Plus we got 10 of these long things of little candy bars. Each case of them were a dollar. It came out to $19 and some cents. Right when we got into the truck I opened up the oatmeal creme pies and ate one. I love those. Another one of my loves are Burger King's chocolate pies. MMMMMMMM. They're to die for. I had one a few weeks ago. They're probably the only things in the world that won't ever change in flavor. EVER. If they do I think I'll die. Or maybe just wail on the floor for 6345357356 hours. Either way. I really don't have much to say. I have no idea why I gave this post a title of Shocking! I guess the shock is an after shock of some sort. Let's hope so.

Hey You.

Okay, so today was fun. Last night was awful. My allergies acted up to the point that I was basically crying. My brother did an 20+ Blessing on me. Which means that he blessed me for the next 20 times I sneezed. That didn't last long at all. Jordan's spaghetti squash was actually really good. It still had the same feeling as noodles that I hate, but other then that it was fantastic! She also made these rasberry bars. I think they're my favorite kind of food in the entire wolrd. I would show you by taking a picture, but we don't have anymore. Tonight is Jordan's last day with us until she comes back on either July 4th or the 5th. She's making strawberry short cake tonight. I thought those were pretty good, too. Today Jordan wanted to take Nathan lunch. She asked me to go with her aaaaaaaat 1:45 ? At the least. Nathan's break wasn't until 2:30. She thought it would be okay. We ended up hanging out at the Dollar Tree right beside Message Envy. We bought two coloring books, crayons, and Flips. Flips are chocolate covered pretzels if you didn't know that. They were really good besides the fact they were basically melting in my fingers. Other than that, PERFECTION. Soooooo, my cat Stripes is extremly over weight. He's like 50 lbs, but he's so cute! I made him a myspace a long time ago. Nobody added him though... Awkward. I love saying that word now. My and my friend Lili say it allllll the time. I'm trying not to text for a whole day. That day will be tomorrow. The longest i've gone without texting was 18 hours i do believe. It wasn't that bad.... Until I see someone else texting, or there's an awkward moment and I need my phone to make the moment less awkward. Otherwise I really don't need my phone that much. Anywho, I have no idea how to promote my blog. I want people to read it, but not anyone I actually know. Afterall, this is basically my diary where I vent. If there is someone actually reading my blog; Hi. "The summer plan" part of this will be coming on the 1st of July. Hopefully you'll still be reading by then.

Afterwards.

So when I left off, Marcus got a girl friend. It took me almost five months to realize he was never going to date me. Seriously. I was pretty much "heart broken", I guess you could say. I didn't love him though. Love, to me, is when two people have such extreme feelings for each other, they can't just say 'I really like you' anymore. Instead, they have to put a label on it. Which is love. I don't think i've ever loved anyone before. I think Marcus was the closest thing to it, but it still was not love. Anywho, enough about him. Let's see.... Today we went to Publix. Jordan knows how to cook spaghetti squash. We'll see how that one turns out. Two days ago, we tie-dyed. That was thrilling, in a way. I didn't wear gloves, so now my finger nails are dyed purple, yellow, and..... Fuchsia? Yes, fuchsia. The shirts came out looking amazing. I was pretty happy about it. We got white tank tops from Wal-Mart. Jordan asked me what size I needed. I told her medium. She looked at me and was said, "You can't possibly be medium. I'm a small." It took me about five minutes to convince her that I needed a medium. I thought it was pretty clear. I've weighed the same weight for almost a year now. I guess it's good, but I don't like the weight i'm at right now. I weight 130-135 lbs. I guess it's not bad, but my sister Jasmine, 17 (she lives with my mom and brother), weighs the same as me. And i'm younger than her. So I don't really know. I've gotten down to one meal a day when I have gum. It kills Jordan that my family skips breakfast, and lunch almost everyday. She has to eat all three meals, or she gets grumpy. We had chick-fil-a today for lunch. It was really good. I love their milk shakes. Jordan licked her finger and put it on Nathan's chicken finger. When he ate it, she started crying because it was so funny to her. When Nathan found out, he really wasn't that amused. Lauran and I could only laugh. I guess I was really only laughing because Jordan thought it was so funny. I didn't think the actual thing she did was funny, but she was seriously crying because of it. It was, as my good friend Lillian says, HILAR. I hate that word. Lily loves it. Since my friends in Georgia aren't here till the first of July, i'm constantly texting my friends from Kansas and Virginia. I wish I could go back to Kansas. I love spending time with my dad here, but honestly he's never home. And when he is the Braves are on. YAY. Oh well. I'm going to Colorado on August 3rd I think for volleyball tryouts. I haven't done one bit of conditioning since I got here. If i don't make one of the four teams there, it's because I died because my heart stopped beating. If luck exists, it should enlighten me right about now.

Background Check.

Hello. My name is Riki. 1st time blogger, I guess you could say. This summer i'm at my dad's house, as always. My dad's house now consists of six people. My dad, my step-mom, Mary Jane, my sister, Lauran, my brother, Nathan, and his girl friend, Jordan. And Me. Everyone's older than me. My sister is 21, going on 22. My brother, 25, as well as his girl friend. So far this summer I have done nothing. We live in Georgia, 45 minutes away from Six Flags and 15 minutes away from Atlanta. So I decided to make a plan for the summer. Jordan hates being locked inside the house all the time. She normally lives in Virginia, but she came down here to visit Nathan. Nathan, however, has enrolled in college to get his nursing degree, and also has a job at Message Envy. He's a licened Message Therapist. He went to Atlanta's School of Message, simply to find out nobody really needs a message therapist anymore, but basically- he's never home. I now hate this house of mine. Living with five cats and two highly annoying, yet equally adorable dogs; with allergies isn't my cup of tea. I've been spending a lot of time on the computer. Texting is like a third language to me now. I try not text at all, but the feeling of my phone vibrating is kind of like a reminder that not all of my friends in Kansas has forgotten me yet. I lived in Kansas for a year with my mom at Fort Leavenworth. Honestly, we didn't really even live in Kansas. Fort Leavenworth is right on the border of KS and MO. The people there were all right, some were terrible, but others were splendid. I made my first best friend there! I was soooo happy, and the best part was that she called me her best friend, too. Her name was Rachael. She was awesome. Her boyfriend was Maverick. He was one of my best friends, too. The three of us all had the first two periods together. (Art being 1st period and Tech Lab being 2nd.) That school year was the best school year of my life. Only two times were there major drama. Note to self: Don't make a fake lip ring, flaunt it around school, and then get into a fight with the girl you THOUGHT was your best friend and was the only girl that knew it was fake. Three weeks was all it took for that bent bobby pin to start making an actual hole in my lip. I knew I had to take it out. When I was a baby, my mom got my ears peirced. My ears got infected; boils started growing on them, he said. I didn't want that to happen to my lip. So then almost a month after i took it out, this girl, Ashley, decided, since I 'sided with her ex-boyfriend', she would bring five other people into our disagreement and tell them all that I cussed her out and made fun of her present boyfriend, Chris. Let me tell you something about this daaarling 16 year-old boy named Chris. First off, he failed freshman year. Twice. Secondly, he brought a gun to school last year I do believe, and he claims he had no idea how it got into his bookbag. Really? Thirdly, can I say thirdly? I don't know, but anywho- Thirdly, he claims he's going to commit suicide every single time one of his girlfriends want to break up with him. FANTASTIC, right? I'm still waiting. I think the best story out of this relationship, is the beggining. She was dating a guy named Matt. Matt and her were perfect for each other. Matt didn't come with any drama. Ashley needs drama, though. Her goal in life is to recieve the most attention however she possibly can. So she knew she had to break up with Matt, she liked Chris by then, so she told Matt, "My dad found out about us and he doesn't want us going out." So then, Matt's heart crushed, she goes out with Chris. Three days later. FANTASTIC, right? Anyways, then I started liking one of Ashley's ex-boyfriends; Marcus. I liked Marcus since the first time I ever saw him. That was in...... August of 2009? We hung out about five times. Halloween, however, Ashley and Marcus HELD HANDS!!!!!! in Ashley's candy bag. She was still going out with Matt. So she claims at the VERY moment, she had to stop talking to Marcus from then on. Why? Because they held hands. Woop-dee-doo. So anyways, then I started talking to him before Christmas break. We talked for forever sometimes. Once til 3:30 a.m. Then I fell asleep on him, oh well. The only person that I could talk to him about, was Ashley. I told her everything. I didn't even think about it. Oh, and something I forgot to say, Marcus had a girl friend at the time. Annnnnnnnnnnnd he might've asked if I would ever concider cheating with him. I told Ashley that, too. She didn't like that. She didn't like ANY of it. So I had to choose which one I would rather have, Marcus. Or Ashley. I made the worst mistake of my life. I chose Ashley. BOOOOOOOOO. I lied to Marcus. I told him I was grounded for three months and I couldn't text. I hated myself. For a long time. And then when I finally came to senses, I texted Marcus a month later. He had a girl friend. YAY.
