How are you gonna go, with your hands on your head or on the trigger of a gun

So I have a final tomorrow in my Control, but I can't concentrate on studying for it. The NRA test which our final is based on I think is relatively easier than a test through the other book we were studying.

And I lost my I.D. again, which is a huge pain in the ass. I have no idea where my passport is, and I still haven't found my wallet that I lost like three weeks ago which included my other I.D, and my debit card. And wherever my state I.D is, I have no clue. The last time I saw it was Friday, when I went to go meet my mom for dinner. I had a rum and coke then. I thought I had it in my khaki jacket, but it wasn't in there.

And in other news, I'm changing colors from pale invalid to at least some sort of a tan. Skin cancer be damned, I want to see how dark I can get. I'm going to get highlights again soon, and maybe get pink in my hair. This is a risky thing, so I may just try some comb-in business before I go permanent.

I got my season pass to Six Flags and can't wait to go again. Xander and I went last Thursday. The park was virtually deserted, we went on all the coasters, and some multiple times. The prices of food were horrendous, though. $10 for a hot dog, plain or with chili and cheese. How ridiculous is that? But it was a beautiful day and I did get a little sunburned. It was 70 degrees and super windy. Thus leading to extreme hair entanglement.

I especially want to go to the water park. I'm thinking about going Thursday, it's my day off. I may just go to the water park in North Aurora. I like to go to that particular park, they have a lazy river. I just enjoy floating around on it for long periods of time.

Day of Delicious Food

Today me and my Mom went shopping. And shopping. And shopping. My mom really likes to take a long time to try things on. We went to Walgreens and the Bank and then the High School to drop off some pictures of my sister for some graduation thing.

First we went to Old Navy and I bought a new bikini, cotton skirt and jacket. The one I really liked, they didn't have in my size, but I found another one that was blue and brown with sparkly things on it. I'm not in love with it, and I still may return it. I still have my brown seashell bikini from last year, if things don't work out.

Then we went to lunch at Wildwood. I got the petite Tenderloin trio which was delicious. Steak tenderloin sliced thick and grilled on parkerhouse rolls with dipping sauces and fries. Garlic aioli, horseradish and a tangy BBQ were the dipping sauces. Then for dessert I got profiteroles filled with ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries. Mom got a chocolate mousse cake. I also got a Acai Rainforest Mojito with orange, lemon and lime.

Then we went to the Galena Cellars wine place next door and tried a wine tasting. 6 wine tastings for $5. Their wines are all local, made in Galena, and were really good. I tried the Peach, Rhubarb, chocolate port, may wine Riesling, crackling apple, and a chardonnay. The Peach wine was my favorite. All their wines are reasonably priced, $10 average. Last year at Swedish Days, Jen and I went into the evil Little Traveler and tried a sweet Catawba wine by August Hill Winery, which is by Starved Rock. This August Hill place is connected to the Galena cellars. It is one of the best wines I have ever tasted in my life. I will definitely return to try more great wines from this place.

After taking a nap, Mom and I take my sister to get her prom dress. Never before have I spent 2 1/2 hours in that mall without going to a movie. Mom got a dress, and shoes and I got nipple petals. Then we went to Portillo's and I got a grilled tuna Caesar salad which was super good. All though I have to admit, Caesar is my favorite type of salad, so I am biased.

I Want Revenge

g
Yesterday, I went to see the Cubs play the Marlins with Jay, Lynz and Jen. We had terrace seats in between 3rd base and outfield. Pretty good seats. We got to Wrigley Field around 6:30, so we had plenty of time to find our seats before the game started.

Milton Bradley and Theriot hit homers back to back. The game was good until they tied and went into extra innings. That's when the Cubs decided to change pitchers. Bad news for the Cubs. The pitcher let the Marlins score a grand slam. Tragedy. They lost 8-2.

Thank god today is payday. I was pretty broke for the last two weeks. I lost my debit card, so I was putting way too much stuff on my credit card. I resolve to cut it up, super soon.

I'm betting on the Kentucky Derby for the first time. I'm placing bets on I Want Revenge, Pioneer of the Nile and Nowhere to Hide. Just $20. So I'm pretty sure I wont be rich and living an infamous life style after this. It's fun to play a little money.
