i stopped posting because everyone else stopped posting, so i guess that makes me a poseur

erh so I check this forum every day, usually a couple times a day, i don't have anything really good to post about so i just check for other posts i can reply to...

All in all, lifes pretty good, I go for my N-permit test on Sat. Im pretty psyched about that. I am working two part time jobs and just finishing up school, like 4 more days. I work at a coffee shop, and a dinnerworks location, its pretty cool. This summer I am going sailing in the San Juan and Gulf Islands a lot, I have to go to oasis with my family for a kind of extended family retreat, it's pretty cool, if i get my license it'll be so much better because then i can drive, and I love driving in the mountain passes... I hope to attend pax, maybe anyone else whos going would like to meet up with myself, and I believe Dyne is going, and his girlfriend...but this summer is completely depending on whether i get my license or not, because if I don't it will be a whole lot of sitting around, if i do ill go to the lakes around and such. Anyway thats pretty much it...nothing really interesting in the love like, a few casual dates with a girl recently

btw i just finished my english exam....im in the exam room now...

Yea, I know its great america. I just figured I would say Chicago so more people would know where im talking about. Im from Central Illinois, and when someone says theyre going to Six Flags, its always implied that its either "Chicago" or St. Louis, since we live about the same distance between them. Im actually a rollercoaster nut, I drive 400 miles to Cedar Point every summer

I live there. Absolutely nothing to do.

Well, there are the classic tourist spots: Empire State Building (was there once...got a King Kong keychain), Statue of Liberty, South Street Seaport is nice. A lot of people seem to hang out around Times Square. Personally it feels like Disneyland to me on weekend nights with tourists strolling about in a leisurely manner. There's FAO Schwartz of BIG fame. Rockerfeller Plaza is near there. Central Park...haven't been there enough to recommend a section...though always wanted to check out Strawberry Fields. The Metropolitan Museum of Art...there's also the MoMA but that's mighty expensive...as well at the Whitney and Guggenheim (have yet to visit those two) Love the Museum of Natural History. Chinatown. Used to go there at least once a week. Nice to just stroll around. When walking around the numbered streets it's almost impossible to get lost. Downtown refer to a map. Restaurants a plenty.

Summer has been okay for me so far. I flew out to Portland with my girlfriend and stayed with her 'rents for a couple of days and then we started driving cross country all the way back to Pennsylvania. It was all going well until about halfway through about 50 miles outside of Chicago when I hit a deer going 65 MPH in the middle of the ****ing right lane on I-88. Busted up the headlight and passenger door pretty bad, but we still drove it home. It's still at the collision place right now.

Otherwise, I've just been practicing with the Spinto Band and whatnot. Some time in July/August we are going to go into the studio and hopefully record and finish the second album by the end of the summer. We're either going to record in Los Angeles or possibly in the UK which will be sort of strange, but it might be fun to live somewhere different for a month.

As for this summer, its basically the same old dull routine in my boring town. Im going to Six Flags Chicago with a few friends tomorrow, that should be fun. In a little over a week, im going to Pittsburgh to visit relatives with my family like I do every year, only staying there a few days, then we are going to New York City for a couple of nights, and Im really looking forward to that since I have never actually been in Manhatten.

Er stick with everything Danny said.

But I would also recommend.. need to make it there myself.

Visit the Nintendo World Store.

And the Toys R Us on Times Square.

2 days ago I called the Dutch Forest Service for an internship and tomorrow they'll call me back to make an appointment! I really hope I can do my internship there, they're probably the biggest influence on Dutch nature.

I spent my first whole weekend together with my girlfriend. It was great.
