My three blogging friends aren't updating their blogs. What the hell. How am I supposed to keep up with all the exciting developments in their lives? Oh, right... there are no exciting developments in their lives. I'll write their blogs for them. Cam is like "Yo, I is at home in Oregon not eating salad dressing and it's raining and I sit around playing videogames and hopefully I get a job soon." Eric's like "I'm in Conifer doing construction and getting paid under the table. I have lots of random thoughts and I am tall." Then Charlie'd be like "I'm sitting at home. Ryan and David are home so Ryan has to do that keg stand or buy us lots of beer. I am working early in the morning and partying every night." There. Now there's me and I'm like "I'm in Georgia and I'm sitting around, but I'm also exercising and trying to get in shape, and I'm looking for a job and I have glasses and a nose."

So I'm in Georgia now. The goals for this summer are twofold. One, a job. I went looking today but the only thing that really got accomplished was I bought some CDs. I got Rancid's "Life Won't Wait" and "..and Out Come the Wolves" (which I had already but I sold to my brother for 10 bucks, then I bought again today because it's awesome, for 7 bucks. I should be a stockbroker). Then I got a Fabulous Disaster CD "Put Out or Get Out", NOFX's "So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes" (which I already have a burned copy of, but since it was cheap used I bought the real thing), and most exciting for me, and most jealousy inducing for Brian, I got a Co-Ed Pollen split with 6 songs by each band, and it's pretty awesome. On the job front, I first went to Borders and picked up an application, then I went to Blockbuster and spent like 30 minutes filling out an electronic application there, then I went to the CD store who told me they're not hiring, then I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up an application, then I went to GameStop who said their "staff" was "full" and something about a new manager coming in that I missed the point of, then I saw a Staples sign and went there and that sounds promising, but the application software was down so I have to go back in the next couple days. That's the one that sounds the most promising. I also called this placement place that's supposed to call back if anything comes up. Tomorrow I guess I'll go turn in my applications to the book stores and maybe drive around the other side of town to see if anything interesting is over there. I also might go see if the other CD store is hiring (it's not). So that's that.

I weigh 170 pounds. I haven't weighed that little in forever. I don't know what happened, I haven't been dieting that much or exercising that hard. But last summer I weighed about 200 pounds, so somewhere in there something happened. Maybe my metabolism is picking up from all the jalapenos I eat at work. The second goal for the summer, which is basically my dad's doing, is to get in shape. He wants to get in shape and I wouldn't mind, so we're going to try to do that together. We lifted weights and played tennis yesterday, with my shirt off which scared away everyone within five miles from the flab and the blinding whiteness. But I guess you have to do that to tan. Tanning's not on my list of priorities, but again, I guess it wouldn't hurt (but cancer does). I'm all sore today, we'll see how this weight lifting session works tonight. I definitely don't feel like I can do what I did yesterday, but maybe I can. Who knows. And to all of those who think "this girl must be making Adam want to be in shape" I'll have you know that I was doing the diet and situps and pushups before I met her. Sure, she's a nice incentive, but it's not the only reason.

Sonic Heroes is pissing me off because of these stupid casino levels. Charlie knows what I'm talking about. Brightly colored pinball tables. If I never see another one of them, I'll be fine with that. The bike game is hard as shit to control, but it's alright. I'm doing some crazy tricks now. Once every hundred tries I can even land one. And Metal Gear Solid is a lot harder than I remember, but it's still awesome. The redone cinema scenes are rockin, and the game is just amazing in the first place. Oh, and Resident Evil 4 will be the best game ever. The new Zelda game will be a million times better than that cartoony shit they did for the last game. And Donkey Konga... well, let's not speak of that. Gamecube is a good system for all the shit it takes for not having a billion games or the capability to play DVDs. Go Tigers!
