I want to go back to Utah
I want to go back to Utah...oh wait, I said that. I like Louisiana. I like it a lot. I love school, and well, school. I went to institute in Lafayette on Thursday, and that was really fun. But I miss Utah. Funny story...if I were going to go RIGHT NOW I'd have a place to stay. So weird how that turns out. But I like school. But I could do school there right? But would my mom like it? I wouldn't go now, but could I go in January? Man, I'm so confused. Louisiana it is I guess, for the time being.

My Life List
Alright, so I really don't have one, but I've been hearing a lot about them lately and I decided that I need one. I'm going to make my Top 100 list. It'll have the obvious like getting married and having kids, but I'll dig deep and get some good ones. So I want everyone out there to make their life list too, and let me know what's some of the things you'll have on it.

I needed to share...
I found this online and felt I needed to share. Kristine will appreciate this totally.
Editor's Note: When EW.com senior writer Michael Slezak wrote an open letter on PopWatch breaking up with CSI: Miami in time for the new fall season, several readers were also inspired to end their relationships with shows they once loved but are now fed up with. In fact, we got more than 100 responses, with readers airing their frustrations about Smallville, The O.C., ER, and other series they felt had jilted them — with frustrating plot lines, screwy schedules, and more. We were so amused that we selected the best breakup letters and compiled this gallery... read on for the dramatic dumpings!
Dear Gilmore Girls,
Wow! What can I say? You disappointed me over and over again this year... I made time for you EVERY week, even when you took inexplicably long breaks and showed reruns. I defended you to people who thought you were just a fast-talking, elitist weirdo. In short, I loved you. But truthfully, in the back of my mind, I knew something was wrong.
You turned the otherwise strong Lorelai into a douchebag. You transformed Luke into a clueless man who I constantly wanted to punch in the throat. You made Rory whinier than ever. And don't get me started on the whole ''Luke's got a daughter'' plot line! GG, what's up with that? I know I came to appreciate you a little late — after season 2 — but GG, when I found you, I was faithful. But you do all of this...and then, to make matters worse, you let those [fill in your favorite derogatory term] at [The CW] give a half-butt offer to Amy Sherman-Palladino, the brains of the operation??? Are you crazy, GG? She was the heart of the show. I can't deal with any mediocrity next year. Look, either it's discovered that Luke and Lorelai's change in behavior was really a mysterious brain disorder caused by the Stars Hollow water supply that made them dumb for a season, or I'm out da do'.
...and this time I'm serious.
Jen
P.S. If Lorelai ends up with Christopher, I'm filing a restraining order.

New home for Lance and Andre
There are many people who thought that the way I let Lance and Andre live was just cruel. So over the summer I earned enough money to give them a treat. They have a great new home now. They love it, and I'm glad they are happy. Here's a look at the greatest turtles ever.

Who knew quitting a job could be so much fun...
I sure didn't. Wednesday was my last day at the valet parking thing and I was so happy when I left that place. Working my butt off and getting paid crap sucked. I've only quit 3 jobs in my life...that's sad, I've only had three jobs. The first was Veg Prep and the only reason I quit was because I quit school and I couldn't work there if I wasn't a student. It kinda sucked to quit, but I had another job when I quit so the transition wasn't so bad. Plus, I went back to visit every Monday for like 4 months. Then there was Mesa Vista, and the only reason I quit there was because I was moving...to another state! I still hate myself for quitting that job. I loved it. I loved the work and loved the people I worked with. It was seriously the greatest job and I miss it every day. So now I'm up to job #3 and I hated every minute of that job. I only had really great job that I didnt' know that I could hate a job so much. It was such a relief when I finally quit. I had been saying I would do it all summer and then I did it. Man, I love not having to go there. Friday was so nice. I didn't have to wake up and go there. I just bummed all day long. But then it hit me...I have no money. I got to get another one of those job things. How much does that suck. So the plan...valet at the casino.

Driving to Lafayette with no job
Every Tuesday and Thursday I make the long trek to Lafayette. It really isn't a bad drive. It usually takes about an hour and 20 minutes. I've done it in less. The worst part is between Jennings and Crowley. There really is nothing. I play with the radio and try to keep my mind off of the drive and on other things and it goes by really fast. I usually never see cops, but this morning I saw like 6...good thing I was going the speed limit. But guess what, I quit my job. So now I have to drive to Lafayette and back and eat two meals with...NO MONEY! Dang it, why did I quit? Oh yeah, because I had a crappy job. Not that the job was that crappy but because the pay sucked. And then this woman up on 10 Tower was like oh yeah, I'll hire you...THEN SHE DIDN'T. So now I for reals got to get a job or I am going to be up a creek big time. Oh well, we'll see how long I can do it. I betting the money will last like a week, so pray that I can find another job in a week!!!

Kenny Concert
One story that happened this summer that I can't not talk about is my trip to UT and the Kenny concert. The concert was June 21. One month after I moved home I was back in my favorite place. Man I miss that place. I got to do all kinds of fun things while in Utah. I ate at Sam Hawk and got to go to RMCF and I stayed at Kristine's and had so much fun. And then I went to the concert with one of my good friends from when I was like born. Two years ago we were supposed to go to a Kenny concert and it didn't turn out quite right, so this was our second chance. It's not how it was planned, but it worked out in the end. It was great. It took everything I had to come back home, and I'll still wondering why I'm in LA and not in UT. I sure hope I figure it out soon. Anyway, here are some pictures of that oh so fun night. And by the way, Dierks Bently can't dance :)

Big Brother
For the past 7 summers I've been addicted to Big Brother. It's seriously sick how much I like to watch these people live in a house and eat slop all summer long. But for some reason I find it fascinating. And when I miss a show I can watch it at online, so really I can never miss an episode. Just so wrong. Anyway, that's my Big Brother rant. I don't know what I need to tell y'all, so if you got some questions about the summer let me know and I'll blog about it, but if not this is going to be all about school and how much I miss UT.

I'm Back
To all my faithful readers:
I'm sorry I'm such a slacker. I moved to Louisiana on May 15, 2006 and not once over the last 3 1/2 months did I inform you of my life. But that's about to change. I'm going to start doing this again so y'all can know how I'm doing. I'm not going to bore you and back track and tell you about my life all summer, I'll just start from now. I might have to talk about some cool things, like the Kenny concert, but I'll keep it simple. So get excited and I'll be hitting you with some good stuff, and when I say faithful readers I mean Mary Ruth.
