I have to admit, after not seeing the pictures for a few days even I had trouble finding me haha :)

Yeah I have too many blogs to name, but anyway. I is bored, and blogging is the perfect way to ramble about nothing to no one that probably wouldn't care anyway :D SO. nothing important really, just that my best friend is finally back from Mexico, note; finally. And yes, I am well aware it isn't like he died or anything, and yes it's only vacation, yada yada yada, but this boy = <3 and he's one of my best friends I'm constantly hanging with, so I was lost for a good thre weeks lol. /stfuLOGAN. C; ANYWAY. we is hanging out on Fridayyyy, yayness. (: OH and I'm not going to Warped, which is the most epicfail if ive ever seen one. BUTTTT, I am going to see them Downtown Fiction boys on Sunday, so that makes up for it, and on the 25th of Augusttt, Imma see All Time Low at Six Flags in Gurnee, Illinois. W00! anddd We The Kings wasn't playing my date anyway, so bleck, though I'm disappointed I won't be able to see all the other kickass bands as well. </3 My motherdear fails a tad.

In otherrrr news, I'm hanging with one of my friends for her birthday, next weekend, considering we're going to be in volleyball camp (conditioning which is gonna kick my ass, so much and will most definitely be shitty like hella. ohjoy.) but other than thattttt. nothingg much. my summer's been uneventful, as of lateeee. >.<

"i survived vans warped tour"

Vans Warped Tour was Awesome! I only got 2 hours of sleep that day & im suprised I didn't pass out. So we got to the amp. hungout in the line meeting bands we never knew existed & listening to their music [ they were all pretty good ]. After that The Maine came out [except John O'] && I met them. Then we donated some nasty soup to the donation thing & got to get let in early. It was like 27364792843 degrees outside!! The Maine was the first band we saw perform then after that we got some stuff from Jac Vanek then went to go watch 3Oh!3 [their great performers] We left their set early to walk around & meet some of the bands! The White Tie Affair went on at the Smart Punk Stage then FTSK & I was in a huge mosh pit [ it was awesome!!!] I ended up getting to the front for the last 2 songs. After their show i was pretty much soaked in sweat ... from other people =/ not cool. Next was $Cash $Cash then FTSK m&g, everything went great then we rested & saw these two girls fight which was actually kinda funny. Sooo finally we went to the stage to see All Time Low perform but it looked like their was about to be a huge storm coming in a few so they changed stages & times & we saw Alex walking to the other stage but he had this enormous body guard with him telling everyone to back up so i didnt even bother & decided not to watch them perform ;; instead we hungout with forever the sickest kids & danced in the rain!! over all everything was great & i would def. do it again!!!! ;)

Single File just posted a new blog, check it out Here!

This summer has been a busy one. Field Hockey, Camping, Warped Tour, Six Flags, Water Country, Yorks, sewing lessons, and so much more  can't even list.  So i haven't even thought about this place until i was cleaning out my email inbox which contained 500 and something emails!  Yeah i really need to use that thing a little bit more. And the messages from you guys came up.  So i thought maybe i should update a little. 

Lets start with Warped Tour... Well as many of you may know I have a BIG musical crush on Aiden.  And when i found out they would be on Warped Tour that was the first thing on my birthday list.  So when i got the tix i screamed like a little girl.  I have never seen Aiden before cause lets all admit that Aiden kinda lacks the positive moral values that parents hope their children will find in music.  So that is the band i wanted to see the most and lets just say i was a major bitch to everyone until i saw them AND met them(sorry daddy and brinna).  Oh and did i mention I FUCKING POURED that day which made me all the more easier to deal with.  But any way Aiden ripped it up and kick ass!  And then they did signings and stuff at their tent and i was screaming like a little fan girl inside(and a little on the outside) ;)!  So i picked up their new album too while i was there and had Angel, Nick(or zombie cause he thinks he's Bad Ass with that name or some thing.) and Jake(who i didn't really reconize with that look he had going on) but wiL was a little busy so i got him to sign my shirt as wll as the other guys.  So that was i the highlight of my Warped tour as well as seeing escape the fate who was a little disapointing to be honest (still miss Ronnie) but Aiden kept walking by where we were so that was kinda cool.  I also saw A skylit Drive, I set my friends on fire, Kelsea and the Chaos, In this Moment, Meg and Dia, and Alana Grace. and got them to sign stuff so that's was also pretty rad.  i can't tell you all the shit that happen to us in the mean time because it would take wayyy to long but lets just say I did not shit my pants that was mud!  And I will also let you know what i think about the new Aiden record later because still don't know what to make of it yet as well as some bands i think you should check out.

Enough about WT now on to FH which i just took up this summer and i think i'm doing pretty good so far.  And BTw Running in 90 degree weather i not as bad as it seems cause i just did and didn't pass out!  I have a scrimage tody and hopefully it won't rain.  cause i neeed the pactice. So if i run my ass off and listen to everything coach B says i might, MIGHT be able to make Varsity.  Heres hoping.  I'm also learning how to sew from my memere.  I am making a sweatshirt thing with zippers at the top and bottem.  But right now it's just a mess and if i work on it anymore this week i might rip all my hair out and i'm not looking for the brittnay spears look any time soon.  And besides those two things i have been working on my summer reading books (some days more than others) and of course i pick the two longest books on the list!  Good going Holly.  So i'm only about 20 pages into the second one which is a tree grows in brooklyn whch i'm praying that this one is a little bit more geared away from the topic of death, because the last book i had to read had the story being told by dealth him self in Nazi germany. Talk about depressing.  So hopefully this oneis more up beat.  Besides that have motly spent the summer with my family and my BBf Brinna and we have gone to amusment parks beaches and stuff like that and not to mention one of my fav.  hobbies SHOPPING! 

So as you can see my summer has rocked to the core and i'm excited to see whst else it brings before the school year strarts up (which is in 29 days bwt)  I'm nervous about starting in a new school again but atleast i won't be wearing a plaid skirt and a polo:)! PUBLIC SCHOOL I"M COMING HOME!  Anyway i'm gonna stop boring anyone who made that dreaded mistake of reading this with my chaotic life, because i have a hot date with my couch!  HASTA LUEGO.

I just got back from the cruise so I’m going to post some sweet pictures in a few days but I wanted to fill you in on something my dad told me as a kid that I later found out was not true.

My first time ever on a cruise ship was when I was 10 years old…I walked around with my eyes wide so fascinated by everything I saw. The pool was on the top deck of the ship and I remember to this day asking my dad how they got new water in the pool since it was salt water and not fresh. He replied by telling me that the cruise ship employed a crew of pelicans that scooped the water out of the pool late at night while everyone was sleeping and grabbed new water from the ocean and placed it back into the pool.

Now as crazy as this sounds, I believed it for the longest time….I even fought with my friends who told me that the ship drained the pool and pumped new water back into it like any normal pool would do. I was completely in the dark with the whole pool water changing concept but I later found out, and this will probably suprise you, that cruise ships do not employ pelicans to refill their pools. I was wrong and I stand corrected :) I didn’t find out until I was 13 so for 3 years of my life I thought that pelicans were amazingly talented creatures.

Pictures coming soon!

So, Kim and I got the green light from our mom to go to the Warped in Mountain View. Anyone else going? Maybe we ca see each other?

Anyway, Im stoked, b/c this is my first Warped, and my first time seeing a lot of the bands. These are the ones playing:

Anyone gone before that has advice fer me? Much appreciated! thnx!
