So ok...

Today I finished the Dark Tower 6 : Song of Susannah. I have a lot of thoughts running in my head about the series. If anyone has read it and would like to discuss it some with me, please PM me, as I don't want to spoil it for others. Zach, I'll let you borrow it whenever you want it. It's no good that everyone should have to spend 20 bucks to read its goodness.

So Last night (Actually the night before last) my brother calls me up and asks if I'm coming to his party on the 4th. Of course I am. So then he asked me what I wanted to drink. He knows I like to delve into alcohol sometimes. I didn't understand him at first, and I was like "Uh... Pepsi or Sprite, something like that." then he was all "I didn't mean pop you dumbass." So I told him probably nothing as I didn't want to drink in front of mom or dad. If I got the urge I would call him. He also invited me to spend the night. At the same time he was like "you should bring Ashleigh."

He's kinda thick in the head, with her there I definantly can't drink or spend the night. Not because she cares, but because I dunno, she can't drink, that's not right. Besides I don't want to get drunk with my brother. Really you may think I'm a lush but I just know a lot about alcohol. I've only been drunk like 6 times in my life.

So anyway I invited Ashleigh, and she's on board with the whole thing. I want her there and at the same time I don't. I dont want her there not because of her, but because... a)my family = stupid, when they gather multiply the stupid part by 10, not like funny stupid either, but all "Jump down your throat stupid." My dad is going to ask about 10 different people "Hey! Don't you think he should cut his hair so he doesn't look like a freak?" meaning me. My brother will be 3 sheets to the wind, and my Neice and Nephew will be running around playing with toys. Meanwhile The In-Laws (My Sister-in-law's family, her father is preacher, her mother a respiratory Therapist, will be all "Blech, you people are retards." even though they're just thinking it. Normally with me alone, I can dodge all this by fleeing to an alone spot, or playing with the kids, which brings me to point, b) I really didn't want to throw Ashleigh into this situation, especially because they're going to ask her questions about subjects, like her parents and why she doesn't live with them, and then they're going to feel sorry for her when she tells them, and that annoys her. They're going to tell embarrassing stories about me and instead of producing the effect they think it will, it will just make the both of us all blushy and fake laughy. Finally around 10 PM, with my brother considerably drunk, he's going to ask me to help him set off fireworks. So this will leave her alone. c) I've never really had any girlfriends around my family for any extended periods of time. This of course will lead my dad to think I'm very smitten with Ashleigh and that I plan on marrying her and "knocking her up" as he would say. I in fact have no such plans. Ashleigh is just cooler than the other girls. By bringing her around my family, I only hope to show her that there is a damn good reason I didn't invite her to family outings before, and that's my stupid family. Finally d) Ashleigh's grandmother makes me angry because she was all saying silly things. I also hate small town america because everyone knows you and somehow I've built up a reputation of being "Cocky," I don't know how really, and that's what Ashleigh's grandmother thinks of me, because I never go over there, and she doesn't really know me. The reason I don't go over there is because her grandmother is scary, creepy, and weird.

Around 10PM July 4th I'll be ready to blow up a small chunk of our beloved country, and maybe release some of the anger!

After that we're going to spend several days with my Grandmother in Elizabeth Towne, which apparently at the time will be filming a new movie, entitled Elizabeth Towne, about Elizabeth Towne. Starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst apparently. So traffic WILL BE HELL! ARGHH!

Hey maybe I can meet Orlando Bloom and interrogate him about the next Pirates of the Carribean movie? Nah... Guess not.

Anyway just another look into my complex and silly life...

Sorry for the double post but check this out:

Elizabethtown : The Movie! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368709/)

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT CAST LIST?!

Small town Kentucky will be turned upside down for a month or so... Maybe mom will want to reconsider going to my Grandmother's. Which will suck for my mom because she really wants to go, but this whole fiasco will be awful. I wonder what date Mid-July, actually means?

ahhhh! so much to reply to. lol

a) my family are stupid too. both sides. maybe not in the drunken riot way, but definitely in the dumb hick way. if you ever met uncle coy, he'd probly spend the entire time talking about what a pansy you are. lol, silly navy people.

b) in referance to your brother being "3 sheets to the wind"... i've been around drunk people before john. LOTS of them. Uncle steve spent most of his visit last August crouched down in my living room floor explaining physics to his black lab.

c) people ask me this stuff ALL THE TIME! i deal with it... i annoys me... yes... but i just answer the questions and shrug a lot. lol and yes, i KNOW they'll probly tell embarassing stories about you but i'm SURE that if you were around my family, the stories would be MUCH much worse. i was a dumb little kid.

d) gangan only thinks you're cocky because she's labeled you with a stereotype based on stories she's heard from me. She's never actually gotten to know you so she doesn't really have a SET opinion on who you are yet.


and lastly... IF YOU SEE ORLANDO BLOOM YOU MUST TAKE PICTURES AND I MEAN A LOT OF THEM!

Apparently, they're not supposed to start filming until the 21st. Though I assume some actors will probably be there. I wouldn't get all up in their faces though. That's like weird groupie stuff. They're people, let them live their lives.
