my crazy family and me

my brother Jason wanted me to write about him in my blog and i thought i knew what i was going to say but i forgot what it was... but i will tell you a little story about the adventures of my brother and me.

well, when my brother and i were little, we used to make up games to keep ourselves occupied. they were clever games too. just to name a few... there was "run ball" this was where one of us had a football and had to run to the opposite side without getting tackled by the other person... that game got old for me fast because Jason would always win. we made up a lot of games inside the house because when we got home from school we were the only ones in the house. we would play a lot of tag. just running around hitting eachother... ah love... sometimes when Jason was getting tired of chasing me he would pick something up lie a ball or something and say, i give this ball the power of my it-ness and then pelt the thing at me. we also would put the adds fron the sunday paper in a circle in the living room and run around on them to see who would fall first. that was one of my favorite games. we used to play with my karaoke machine and pretend we were radio DJs and Jason would make movies and i would film and he would act and then he would yell at me because i wouldnt press pause when he was done. good times... my brother also called me Vaughn Hayes.. the baseball player... im not really sure why he called me that... i think it was because he knew it drove me crazy... but anyhoot

i have some funny stories about my sister Jillian as well...

when Jillian was little she used to drive me up the wall! especially when she was going to take a shower... ill explain... Jill would have me change the temperature in the shower because... well i dont know why... maybe it was because she was scared to get wet... in the... Hum... anyway... i would hear... JACKIE!!! IM COLLLD! and i would have to go in and change the temp for her... and then i would hear again... JACKIE!!! IM COOOOOLD! and i would yell back... JUST TURN THE KNOB TO THE LEFT AND IT WILL GET WARMER! and then she would yell back BUT IM COOOOLD! so thats my sister... i really liked scaring her too! one time she was in the shower and and our cat, Dixie, who is no longer with us... :(... was sitting on the dirty clothes hamper next to the shower looking in... then i came up and scared the cat and the cat went in the shower and came out the other side! and then you hear Jill scream! it was the funniest thing i have ever seen!

i had a picture of jill and me but for some strange reason it wont load.

i have a question for all of you blog readers out there...

would you rather...

be able to fly or have the ability to read people's minds?

humm... that shower didn't work... maybe i'm dry clean only

hello there folks! i'm a litte sad.

no one really comments on my blog. and that makes me sad.

anyhoo

is it just me or are elevators a very akward place..... like, i have to take an elevator to my floor in the dorm and you know you just stand there in a little box with complete strangers ... or strange people... however you want to look at it... i dont really like to make eye contact with elevator people because what if they are just phyco crazy and if you look at them then they might just follow you to your room and what happens after that... NOBODY KNOWS.... (side thought) i met a drunk guy on the elevator. he said to me, " i have an 8 AM class and im still drunk!" and then when he stumbled off the elevator he said, " It was nice talking to you!" and well if things wern't akward enough. you have to throw a drunk guy in the mix. well thoes are my elevator adventures.

well, i quit my job at the pool yesterday. i just couldnt work and do school and all so i quit. i am going to miss getting in trouble for being late. and not being able to understand my boss, and all the funny people who come to the pool... like the guy how walks against that lazy river 25 times... they lady who wears her swim cap on sideways... the guy whos speedo is so faded it almost looks invisable... the comb over guy... the seal lady (she kinda looks like a baby seal trying to learn how to swim)... and the rest of the gang but i have a new job now... im singing at Mountain Brook Baptist church for Mr. Berg... its So nice to sing with him! i love that man! but anyway thats all i have to say about that.

UAB is not a safe place to walk around. looking both ways means NOTHING! even when you have the white light guy you can still get hit by a car. OH and thoes unexpected cracks in the middle of the road that you may trip and fall in the middle of a cross walk.... cough! i did COUGH and the bugs will just fly right into your eyeballs... that happend to me too.

I went to Leonardo's for dinner last night with my mom and our friends Pat and Emily. it was very nice. we had a really great waiter i think i remember his name though. but he was really cute and very sweet. oh what was his name... oh well it'll come to me... hehe

well another one of my friends that i love has walked out of my heart and forgot to put part of it back. Zach Schultz is gone i think im going to cry! i love that guy! he's such a good friend! and he's going far in life. i can tell! but anyhoo, Zach i miss ya pal!

Kierstyn, hang in there! I love you!

well i think thats all i have to write about go nuts with your comments folks! maybe i'll do what Tasha does and not write another blog 'till i get a lot of comments.

the title of this blog has nothing to do with anything. i'm watching Step By Step and Cody said it because he thought Dana was allergic to him.

"it's so damn hot!.... milk was a bad choice"

I cant wait any longer for fall....

hints: the title of this blog. the quote is from the movie Anchorman for thoes of you who didnt know. but anyhoot.

i have been running all over this campus. i'll explain...

i tried to register for chamber singers but it wouldnt let me because im only supposed to take 14 hours and that would make 15. so i called my advisor and he told me to come to his office to get a letter asking the registrar to let me register and so then i had to go to the Hill University Center. when i got there, there was a really long line because it was the last day to add a class without it costing anything. so i wait in that line and then i went back to the dorm. but when i got to the dorm... my campus card wouldnt open the door for me. so the guy at the desk came to let me in and then asked who was coming to sign me in and i told him that i lived there. Then he sent me to the office to ask the lady why my card wouldnt let me in... he didnt believe i lived there. anyway, i took it to the lady and she told me that i had to take it to the hill center, to the campus card office....SO i walk to the hill center and there was a line there as well...... i was stating to feel like i was at Disney world....but anyway i asked the gal at the desk what to do and ahe tested my card with the swiper thing and said it was working but i had to call a number to see why it wouldnt open the door. so i called the number given... and the lady on the phone told me i had to go to the burleson building to get the card activated. so i went all the way over there and the lady took literaly 2 seconds and was done. she then said to me "it should work now" and i went back to the dorm and joey called me and we went back to his house and then we went to applebee's to meet up with all the Godspell kids. ( Lucas, Jessica, Adam, Kevin, Dana, Amber, Wardell, and some other cool kids... Jane Bailey, Will, Morgan) we were there for a wile and then i was getting tired so we left and joey took me back to the dorm and i went to bed.

this morning i had class at 8. it was kinda hard to get out of bed but i got over it. i got out 30 min early from my UNIV 101 and Fund. Music class. that was nice.

well i had a nice birthday! i had music orientation and then i went to my party and we had a BLAST! but anyway. im 19 now! yay!

tonight is going to be the last time i see a lot of my friends... well Kierstyn is the only important one that i really care about! im going to miss her SO much! she's the only one who knows what im thinking and knows how to get me to talk about things and well im going to miss handing out with her and going to the pool and going shopping and making virgin margaritas and well i have to stop typing before i start to cry!

im moved in!

Well folks, i've moved in to my dorm. I’m down here in camp hall (that’s right behind the rec center) life is good. My roommate is very nice. Her name is Ashlee from Foley. Our dorm is small… go figure! But it’s really nice... except for the smell and the dead bugs in the sink. Well the last couple of days have been not so eventful. But whatever! Let’s see…

I worked this week. But we closed the pool a lot because of storms. (Yes we close an indoor pool because of storms… not rain but thunder ad lightning) anyhoot… that job is so boring it isn’t even funny. The other day I was on stand for about an hour and then the other six I was playing solitaire or surfing the net. Yep, that’s a UAB job for ya. I don’t know how UAB makes money when they pay people to sit and so literally NOTHING! But I don’t really care because im one of those people who get paid to do nothing so it works for me. But some people at the pool are really rude to the lifeguards. Which I don’t think is a very good idea because what if you drown? That lifeguard that you were just rude to and talked to with no respect may save you… but then again… may not. If I were a patron I would be nice to the people who were watching over me, making sure I safe. BUT! That’s just me.

So recap of my life as of now…

I no longer live in Meadow Brook, I still have the most boring job ever, I’m dating someone now, and I’m loving every minute of it!

This blog was typed Saturday 13, 2005 on a word document because Jackie’s internet was not up and running yet.

well... its been two days since i wrote this blog so i guess i will tell you what i have done in the past two days. well as you know i moved in on saturday. that night i went to Joeys house and watched snatch... it was a good movie, funny. then sunday i had bonding time with my roommate... we watched the Brat Camp marathon. then i went to church. after church my parents, Joey and I all went to dinner at a place in brookwood. (i dont really know the name of the place and if i did i wouldn't be able to spell it anyway.) dinner was really nice! after dinner Joey and i went over to Peterson's house and i got to see all the godspell people that i missed so much! then i came home (to the dorm) and tried to work on my internet but was just too tired and went to bed. so this morning i finally got the internet working.

the shot from hell

when i last left you i was going to play poker... that didnt really work out for me... i went all in and lost. BUT oh well.... i spent the night at Kierstyn's and the next morning Jason E. called from Chic-fil-a asking where i was... i usually i go to mass wednesday mornings at 6:20. but i didnt and he called and spoke hateful words and woke me and Kierstyn up. then i went to work and was SO bored. but thats my work for ya. that night i watched Get Shorty. it was a good movie... i thought it was funny...

thursday i went to lunch with my mom and i was going downtown to get a shot for school... so my mom and i go to the building taht we were told to go to and they told us that they dont give the shot there and that we should go to my regular doctor. so we go to the car... my mom parked in a tow away zone and i told her but she was like we're only going in for a second so we get to the car and there is a sticker on her window and a boot on her tire... so the guy who put it on there was sitting in his car waiting for us to come back out so she had to pay $35 to get the boot off. then we went to get some lunch... after she droped me off at my car i went to best buy to get a mitch hedberg cd but i got a Kelly Clarkson cd and Mean Girls and Saving Silverman... so i still have to get mitch... but anyway im in the check out line and Chris Josof comes up behind me... it was weird to see him... i havent seen him in a few weeks and it was just weird i dont know why... but anyway so then i go home and upload kelly on my ipod... then i went to meet Jane Bailey and Jessica clark at Leonardo's to see Joey... he works there... but i get there and Jane is there and we go in to wait for Jessica and we were there for about 30 min. when Jessica called and told us she was leaving her house... so we wait for her... she gets there and we order and then we see Lucas and Morgan walking up and yeah that was weird... but whatever... so we stay there talking and such for like 3 hours! we were there till they closed and Jessica and Morgan sang a song and then Joey sang a song... haha...so then Jessica and i weere going to see a movie and then joey was off so we asked him to go with us and we get to the summit and jessica gets a call from her friend who was going to hang out with her that night came to pick her up so Joey and I went to see Mr & Mrs Smith... great movie, very funny... so then ofter the movie Joey drives me back to my car at Leonardo's and i went home and went to bed.

this morning i went to the doctor to get that shot that i didnt get yesterday... so my mom and i go and i get the shot... the nurse didnt put the band-aid in the right spot.. i just thought that was really funny. so we're leaving the doctor and we get in the elevator and i starts to move down when it gets stuck. so to scare my mom i start shaking the elevator and so she starts yelling.... it was really quite funny... so were in there for about 10 or 15 min. till we start moving again.. and my mom told me that the shot was cursed. so that is the story of the shot from hell with a few side notes.

vaccine...$95
fee for illegal parking...$35
jummping up and down in a stuck elevator to scare the crap out of your mom... priceless!

waiter, there are snails on her plate

well Godspell is over and im sad. Strike was sad. i helped Alan with the sound stuff as we danced to krunk music and quoted Mitch Hedberg. then when i was dont with that and had nothing to do...Jessica and i were the supervisers... well at least we pretended to be. we stole lucas and kaylen's elevator and when we got to our floor, Joey was there and he scared the living daylights out of us... so now i have to come up with a plan to get him back! muah hahaha. so after strike we brought everything to JCCHS tears were shed and then we went to have a party in bruno's. not really we just had to get some things before going to petersons house. we watched army of darkness. a real trippy movie. i dont think i really got it. im not even sure i got the point.

yesterday was an interesting day. i got to work at about 11:30. (they took me off the morning shift...5:30-11:30...because i was late twice and i got written up... and 3-5 strikes and your out) so i get there and my boss is all hyper. he's the kind of boss who makes you do things to make himself look busy. so he tells me i need to scrub the hot tub... im a poet and didnt even realize it. but anywhat after that... im on stand contemplating life... when you gaurd a four foot pool that only college kids swim in then you get kinda bored... so im sitting there and the fire alarm goes off and so i get everyone out of the pool and on to the sidewalk and there is a sight for ya... old men in speedo's on the side of Univ. Blv. so anyway... we're out there for about 20 min. or so when we find out that it was just dust from construction. so we get everyone back inside and then that was about as exciting as it gets at work. lets see.... after work i went to OLS to practice singing for the Charismatic conference that will be held friday and saturday. so i was there till about 8ish and then i went home. i was going to watch The Jerk with my parents but they both bailed on me and so i watched it by myself. it was the first time i had ever seen it. it was really funny. after the movie i wen to go check my facebook and friendster and such. rebecca is the only one to write a testamonial on my friendster. but anyway i got on AIM... something i rarely do and Joey sent me an IM and we talked till about 3:30am for about 4 hours! i dont think i have ever talked to someone that long online before. so anywho... after that i went to bed.

this morning i got a call from Jason Eversull at about 6 and he was just talking not realizing i wasnt going to remember what he said in 20 min. so... i think he called twice. and then i got a call from kierstyn at about 11:30 telling me to get my butt out of bed so we could go to the pool. so i did what i was told and we went to the pool. then we went back to her house and i made hot dogs and she made cookies. then we watched soap operas. Kierstyn had to be at work at five so she droped me off and she went to work and now im writting a blog.

tonight its poker night at kierstyn's and so thats where i will be tonight.... lots of poker, pretzels, and of course... sunkist... my downfall.

i guess thats all i have to say to you people...
