My heart beat beats me senselessly, why's everything gotta be so intense with me?

I don't know why I find it such a burden to type out entries, lol. I haven't updated in I don't know how long - and for some reason I just got a kick of motivation to type an entry. I'm not going to go back through the summer. Let's just say - it's been a fun/interesting one. I'll start with more recently.

I went and got my first tattoo last Saturday. I love it so much. It's on my right wrist and it's a simple heart made of a treble and bass clef. It's pretty sweet. My dad came with me because I'm a minor and Jordyn tagged along with me. I was terrified of it hurting and me moving after he put the needle on my skin more so than having something permanently on my skin. But it didn't hurt really at all, and only took him about 15 minutes to do which was nice.

This past Monday I went to Cedar Point with a ton of my family aunts/cousins. It was so much fun. I went with: Natalie, Rachael, Christina, Sharifa, Lila, Nada, Huda, Mary, Michael, Danielle and Hunter. It rained for a big chunk of the day - but that just made the already short lines, shorter. I ended up riding the Magnum XL 200 for the first time. It's one of the M roller coasters I swore I wouldn't go on. My family pushed me into the line. D: It's now one of my favorite coasters at CP. (: I ended up riding Disaster Transport and the Iron Dragon twice with my cousins, because the lines were terribly short. I also rode the Gemini, the Space Needle and went to an Ice Show. (Which was AMAZING because it was 90-ish degrees outside, and it was about 60 degrees in the place where they were holding the ice show.) Hanging out with my family was a lot more fun than I anticipated, and I got closer to a few of my cousins that I don't get to see much anymore.

I had golf on Tuesday, but had to stop after 6 holes because my sciatic nerve was bothering me. I relaxed the rest of that day because I was in much pain. The next day, I hung out with Jordyn. (: Which was a ton of fun. I hadn't seen her in a few days, and it was nice. We watched the ANTM marathon on Oxygen, played with my new camera and just hung out. We also went over my Sito's house for an amazing Arabic dinner, as usual. <3

Thursday I had golf - but I didn't go because I hadn't had a chance to go the chiropractor yet for my lower back, so I skipped and just went to the Class Congress meeting at 11 that we had at the school. There was a few of us and it was kind of nice. D had his two kids, and his boy was a trip, lol. Jordyn came back over my house for a few until she had a ride home. We played this game called Youda Sushi Chef - which is SO much fun, aha. She left because it was her mom's birthday and she had to get home! I went out to Famous Dave's with my dad for his pre-birthday dinner that night while my mom was at a funeral. It was really nice. I love being around my dad.

Yesterday was my dad's birthday, and luckily he took a personal day, because he took me to the chiropractor. :D My leg/back is still extremely messed up, but the first adjustment provided a very much needed temporary relief of pain. I came home and Kelsey texted me, saying that she was home from up north! She had been gone for a little longer than a week - so I told her to get her ass over here, and she did! Aha. It was nice seeing her again. We tried to get Jordyn over here too, but she Mike was already on his way over to her house.

We caught up on what happened over the week and then made an adventure up to Meijer so she could get some pictures printed. I also bought a bag of Sunchips, because I was craving them like no other, lol. After that, we made our way to Best Buy so she could see if she could find the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Incubus CD. She did! And I bought Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted CD. I've had most of it on my computer, but I really love having the actual CD, lol. We then went to her house and headed back here for a bonfire with all the neighbors for my dad's birthday! It was an adventure to say the least, lol. Kelsey and I talked about the future a lot, and then we moved closer to the fire. Jonas sat on me, talking about proper tattoo care, lol. Asking me if I was now addicted, planning my next tattoo. I said yes. -Sigh- I have succumbed to the addiction of tattoos, lol. I want another one so bad, but I'm going to wait a couple years at least.

Chris and Jonas were having an argument about whose phone was better? It was hilarious. They were both drunk, and Jonas was terribly animated, using his compass to go to Vietnam or South Korea, I don't know, lmao. They were having application wars too. It was entertaining to say the least. Later, he and Kelsey were talking over at the picnic table and I temporarily hijacked her iPod because I didn't want to go get mine, lol. I went inside, grabbed my guitar for Jonas to play and we had a short jam session. Kelsey left around 1:30, everyone else left like, 15-20 minutes after - Jonas and Chris were still having app wars via-phones, lmao. I went inside and read a chapter or two in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. (Re-reading books 4-7.)

I woke up this morning, and to my suprise I had two text messages and a missed call from Jordyn that my phone hadn't acknowledged with a ringtone of any sort. Elizabeth canceled the plans we had for today last night and I was going to see if Ann, Jordyn & Kelsey would mind me going with them to the see the final run-through at band camp. Kelsey mentioned to Jordyn that I wanted to go, so she texted/called me and I didn't hear it or get them until I woke up. Which was frustrating, because I really wanted to go. So, after I got them and shot Jordyn a text about why I didn't answer her, I flung myself out of bed without thinking about my leg/back and pretty much collapsed because my leg was buckling. I was in so much pain and was aggravated that the texts and calls hadn't woken me up because they didn't ring that I just took a couple motrin, laid back down and read for an hour or so. Now I'm enjoying Kelly Clarkson's CD, the delicious smell of the roast my mom is making for dinner is wafting in here and making me super hungry, lol. Still have an hour or so until that's done. ): Aha.

Anyway, I'll try and update more often — which probably won't happen — so these entries aren't so long, lmao.

xoxo
Brittney. <3
