So that's what they mean when they say "this big"

So despite my somewhat dirty title, I swear there is a purpose. Right now I smell of fish am tired and more happy than I have been in a long time. I woke up this morning at 4am to go fishing on lake Michigan. I went out on a boat with 2 old lake men and my family(I don't care what you say grumpy old men are awesome) Now for some of you this may not sound like fun at all, but I enjoyed it. Seeing the sun rise as water surrounds in every direction, the mist sprays my face and the breeze was just enougg to keep the hair out of my face. My father and I were the only ones to catch anything; everyone else was sleeping. I caught a 15 pound "this big" king salmon. It took me about 5 minutes to reel in and it was fighting me the entire way. Alright that topic is retired onto ... american spirit.

My father came home from Kansas City where he works during the week with about 5 bags of fireworks, which I think amounts to about 20lbs of explosives. Yay for the American pratice of celebrating our incorrect birthday by using dangerous explosives. That's about as American as apple pies and baseball (speaking of which did anyone catch the Sox vrs Cub cross town classic, that's what I thought stupid cubs fans (I'm pointing my finger at all of you), throwing garbage on your own field, Pierzynski rocks my socks.)

So because all of you are drama people I figured I could ask your opinions on one particular subject that has been causing me distress. I'm doing Beauty and the Beast this summer in which I was lucky enough to get Mrs. Potts and b/c it's double cast I get 2 nights Fri. and Sat. Which normally I wouldn't mind because those are the better nights. Here's the deal though Friday night is the Championship game for my softball team, which we may not even make it to. I'm the oldest girl on the team and somewhat of a leader, if only because I'm loud and never shutup with saying crazy things. Annnnd on the day of the championship game the girl who is normally the catcher will be gone, I'm the backup catcher and I would be gone and the girl who is my backup would be gone. If you haven't noticed a catcher is a important part to the game. So the thing is I can change the date of which performance I'm Potts in and I'm wondering if I should, after all there is a chance that we won't even make it to the game. I'm going insane I don't even know what to do anymore, someone please help!!!

Ooo guess what I got my ACT scores back and this time I scored better, I'm not going to say what it is because you all are probably going to show me up, so there. Let's just say I'm smart but not super smart.

Hey ladies guess what movie I'm watching?
Let's get down to business to defeat the huns, did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
We must be swift as a coursing river
mysterious as the dark side of the moon
(I know they're not in order but I can't type that fast)

That's it for now, so bye, so long and farewell
