summer so far

Well, I began this post a week after my 21st birthday but have amazingly been distracted enough to forget about it util today...a month later. I apologize.

-Since I'm sure yall miss the reminders, here's one last one: It's official, I'm another year older, another year wiser, 21, and at this rate, another year closer to death...who knew that non-stop drinking for a month could hurt so damn bad?? It's been a really long time since I last updated the blogosphere so here's some of the random thoughts I've had since then:

-I hate jetskis: this summer, Jamison excitedly introduced me to the world of the sea-doo (that looks a lot funnier on the computer screen than it does on the actual jetski) for the first time in my life. After spending much of my life in boats, I automatically felt weary on the jetski thanks to the speed and lack of distance between me and the water...and that was before my second ride. After nicely declining Kyle's offer to take me out, I got suckered into going with Adam...HUGE mistake. While going roughly 65mph, Adam took a sharp turn that resulting in the flipping of the jetski and the bowling ball sized bruise on my leg. ouch.

-the World Cup is over: the end of the World Cup to me is just as tragic as the end of college football season...if not more. College football comes and goes once a year, every year while the Cup only blesses my life every 4. I am well aware that many people reading this right now do not care for Soccer and to yall I say "to each their own." I too have to admit that I expected more from the final game but my disappointment stemmed from my lack of enthusiasm for Spain and the Netherlands. I personally was rooting for Italia, Argentina, USA and Germany towards the end. I must admit I'm still a little heartbroken that Germany, the team of my future husband Manuel Neuer, didnt go all the way. But back to my point before my favorite team rant: the only thing I really didnt enjoy about the cup this year was everyone's rather rude lack of compassion. Look, I dont care who does or doesnt like, appreciate, care about or understand soccer but to all of yall, bloggers and journalists alike, that claim "no one cares" about it, go suck a dick. I agree that soccer really isnt "America's sport" but that doesnt give anyone the right to so naively group all of us in such an ignorant statement. "No one cares" is almost as ridiculous as "Soccer is a Communistic sport;" But hey, the way Obama is running this country, communism may be in our future...hell ya, more soccer.

-After 2 years of obsession and disappointment, David Slade finally did it; he made a Twilight movie worth watching. As I'm sure many already know, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are among my favorite books and movies but at least now one of the movies is legitimately decent.

-Speaking of Vampires, the wait is over, True Blood has once again consumed my Sunday nights. Though the first few episodes havent lived up to True Blood's jaw-dropping standards, I have a feeling that next week's episode is going to be perfect. Here is my quick review that will only be understood by those who watch the show: thank God Bill is gone, now if only he'd take Franklin, the creepy new Vampire, with him. I am a HUGE fan of Alcide, and the werewolf plot, though its beginning to look a lot like Twilight. Sookie really needs to forget about Bill, especially when she has bigger and better things, a.k.a. Eric, right in front of her. I am dying to know what kind of magical powers Sookie has and why everyone is after her. I have a horrible feeling about the Mickens family. I don't think Arlene's baby is Terry's. I think Tara is about to become a vampire which I do not like but her cousin, Lafayette, is back to being himself after the short break last season thanks to vampire prison.

-The second most exciting thing about the return of True Blood is the return of Entourage. I have watched it religiously for years but am afraid to say that I don't think it has many seasons left...I feel as if each character is coming to the end of their story...so sad

-I have had an awesome July so far and June was also noteworthy. This is quickly catching up with the frontrunner, Summer 2008, in the "best summer of my life" race.

-In 6 days, I embark on my 2nd trip to Athens this summer...at least this one will be more successful than the last one since Gools, Jamo and I leave for Gov't Mule and Dave Matthews Band in ATL on tuesday!!! Dave and Warren, what a pair. If anyone is feeling spontaneous, I have a hotel room for the concert so come on up or at least join us in Athens for the remainder of the week.

-I'm about to take another step towards being a grown up...I'm deleting my FarmVille.

-Questions: When does it become comfortable to drink in front of your parents? I've been 21 for a month but am pretty sure I'd still feel awkward as shit if I cracked open a beer in front of mine. Maybe it's because on my 4th night spending the night out since the big birthday my mom said "Jesus, Kathryn, chill out on the drinking." I wish my parents hadn't painted some naive picture of me in their heads...if I only I wasn't impeccable at keeping shit from them.

-I really need to get better at saving money. There are so many places I want to go and so many concerts I want to see but I'm too poor to go to any of them.

-Is there any way to get rid of voicemail on cell phones? I can't stand it anymore. To me, the only purpose behind voicemail is saying "Hey ____, It's _____. I know you dont have my number so I'm leaving you a voicemail to identify the random unknown number."

-I know, what a weak post for my first time back in over a month but I am more ADD now than ever before...just be glad I talk too much to delete this along with my farmville
