Seriously...sometimes that is the only thing stopping me from picking up Crime and Punishment (by Fyodor Dostoevsky) or Wuthering Heights (by Emily Bronte). Those are the books I have to read for AP Lit. So I suppose it's not necessarily a good thing in the end...but oh well...I can deal with that later...in like two weeks...gah

Anyways, you can find amazing stuff there, like stuff on archery, mounted archery (which is totally awesome and mind boggling), fencing, and jazz musicians. I've been watching monty python videos too, along with other random stuff. Can't wait for this saturday's concert, 93.3's Big Gig with Paramore and the Offspring...along with plenty of others. I get to go with some friends, and it'll be my first...BIG concert. I've been to a friend's CD release party, and I saw Face at Broomfield High School, and I saw another friend's band at Cervantes Ballroom...well the place next door to it haha.

BTW, does anyone know how to control, or at least persuade rain?? If so, could you implore the rain to come over to Denver? We haven't had any significant rainfall since like...May. It's been in the upper nineties the past two weeks, and it is hell (or the opposite of hell if you view hell as being cold....).

One of our cats ran away last week, she's a pure-bred Maine Coon, name of Radar. I have a few pictures up on here, one being The Elusive Radar. I know it's really highly unlikely that any of you will even see her, but there is still a chance. If somehow you do see her or even catch her, please call (303) 469-7524. I don't think there is a reward, but if you do find her and bring her back, I'll see if I can do something.

On a somewhat similar note, my other cat Igor yesterday morning had a baby finch in her mouth. I rescued it...but it couldn't fly very well...so I kept it...we got a cage and baby bird food and all the stuff...but as the day wore on, it had less and less energy, and around 7:30ish...it died. No visible wounds or anything, though there was torn feathers and blank spots on the skin where feathers were gone, but no blood or anything. It was incredibly sad...it was so cute...and I was really mad at Igor...along with Gimli and Dewey (the other cats), but can't really blame them...it's in their natures...*sigh*

I have managed to do one thing for school though. I finished my AP Stats homework...which really wasn't very hard...it was just a matter of sitting down and just doing it. Lots of graphs to interpret and draw and all that jazz. Seriously need new books to read though. Anybody have any recommendations?

Really should at least read the short stories...haha...going to be 17 in less than two months...oooOOOooo...XD I won't even be 18 when I start college...that's funny. Although I don't even know where the hell I'll be going yet...community college is really becoming a main choice as far as money goes...the colleges I like are private...and therefore really expensive...and while I am smart (yes I'm very modest XD), I'm either probably not smart enough to get academic scholarships, or am too lazy to try and get better grades...we'll see as the year progresses. Can't stay home too many times, or my dad says he's not going to help pay for college, seeing as how last year I probably missed a cumulative of almost a month of school...due to surgery, pain, and being sick (though that wasn't very often...it was mostly the pain...and then the surgery). I had a 6cm cyst on my right ovary last october. I had surgery and was out for the next week (though I missed the week before from pain). This year I've still been having pain, and the narrowed it down to Irritable Bowel Syndrome...but they don't know what's causing that, I'm not lactose intolerant (had that test last week...so boring). So one of the next choices is having a colonoscopy and an endoscopy...which does not sound fun...

anyways, time for me to end this little...rant like thing...hope everyone else is having a fun summer, and doesn't have to worry about stuff like that.
