[see bottom for new Michaely stuffs!!! XD]



Hey, KristenSpork.
Hey.

What've you been up to this summer?
I hate getting that question. Nothing. That's what. Compared to what you've all been doing, I've done nothing. There's nothing much TO do. I got through my first year of college and--

College. Yes. Tell us about that, little App State Mountaineer girl.
Well, I made two "A"s, three "B"s, four "B+"s, and one lowsy "B-".
Made the Dean's List second semester.
I had 5 roommates, attended 5 football games, 9 basketball games, and 10 movie showings.
I used way to much of my mom's money on stuff, especially the day I was depressed and ran through $60 for pens, pencils, and paper.
Oddly, I had not one bite of Ramen.
Or one drop of alcohol.
Or pot, though there were offers.
Or sex.
Or a boyfriend.
Not that I would be having any if I had a boyfriend. That's not what I do.
The boyfriend thing has only a shread of hope in happening anyway.
I'm nice.
And pretty.
And plump.
So guys are all,
eww.
But still.
And I'm shy.
That's a big problem... But Campus Christian Fellowship has MADE me have to get out an mingle, by throwing me head first into a nightclub (yes, they have the meetings in the on-campus nightclub) full of strangers all welcoming me and a couple gorgeous guys that Facebook later informed me were the boyfriends of a couple girls there... I'm glad I found that out before any awkward situations--

So... you've been doing "nothing" since the first week of May?
Nah. I lie. I made a scrapbook of my first year at Appalachian State University, which was a huge process but it's done and I'm so excited and proud of it.
I read a lot. Mostly non-fiction stuff, on botany like always and photography, recently.
I've been photographing like crazy too. With my Kodak EasyShare C913, and no, it is not a dSLR, or any sort of SLR, and yes, that kind of sucks, because I can't do the macro shots my heart yearns for, with the amazing interchangable lenses and all that, but yes, my photography is AMAZING, even with a little hundred dollar camera. I make do, and have over 200 photographs, good ones at that, even if you don't think the camera is worth the power it takes to charge the batteries.

You love photography, writing, drawing, and... botany? o_O
Pretty much.

Your major?
Bi... bio... oh crap, I forgot. Give me a minute...

...You're seri--
Back. Ecology and Environmental Biology with a Geography and Landscape Ecology concentration. The name is fluffy but it's essentially biology, with some extra geography classes thrown into the mix so I'll know all about the Earth and stuff. Which is awesome.

Indeed it is.
OH!!! Also, I got to see Borat for the first time last night on TV. It was amazing. The anti-semitic stuff really got on my nerves, but it is overall an excellent movie. I dunno, I'm just waiting to see if Brüno will come to this town. It most likely won't.
I'll send the cinema a lawsuit.
Homophobes.
Srsly, no one wants to see the thing... Except Michael...

So, I heard you had some news about Mich--
YESYESYESYES!!! *squees*
You know how my Michael had gone up to Pennsylvania and stuffs, over 500 miles away from here?
Well.
HE'S COMING BACK.
HE'LL BE HERE MONDAY.
OMGOMGOMGOMG.
I am like... so excited. He's so amazing. And now Kasey can see Harry Potter without worrying about having to miss it to go see Brüno that she doesn't care too much for. So that is w1n! Andandand OMG.

Have a fun, safe 4th of July!!! Seriously guys, the number of injuries each year from fireworks is crazy. Not to mention fires. There were some statistics on the school website about them and it's ridiculous. I plan on watching some and getting some awesome photos.
