First comment?

Here’s my contribution to the All-Day Saturday thread…even though it is still Friday here.

Plans for the summer: Trying to find a job! I just graduated from college, and I’ve got to find me some money. So no vacations for me.

boo!

Chestnuts roasted by DJ @ 05/20/2006 12:35 PM

THIRD!

And…it’s Friday. WHHAAA??

Chestnuts roasted by Terror Claws Cole @ 05/20/2006 12:40 PM

yeah, not even eleven o’ clock here in Idaho and SNT

So far the only summer plans are my cousins graduation in two weeks and The Pharcydes "Drop" as my retro tune for crusing this summer.

Friday Night SNT?
That’s even better than Red Lobster Fridays! Which are almost as good as Taco Bell Tuesdays!

Chestnuts roasted by Somethin' Funny @ 05/20/2006 12:52 PM

SNT! Not only do I get to participate now, at the beginning of Saturday, but I don’t work tomorrow night, so I may well be here then too!

A little something in the spirit of the SNT (and Somethin’ Funny‘s Taco Bell Tuesdays and Red Lobster Fridays): Anybody have weekly traditions like that? Back in my Freshman year, every Tuesday was Poker Night and every Thursday was Movie Night. Now, the days all seem to run together–six random, blah days and one SNT day!

Damn, that made it seem as though all I do is go to restaurants. Those are not my traditions.
My only weekly ritual is spending my Saturdays cleaning while watching DVDs. Usually a season of a show, or a trilogy of movies of some sort.

my friend was in town just the other day and we where talking about weekly traditions. We had two, Thursday was Smackdown night(wrestleing and root beer or orange floats) and Tuesday was Michelle night. Michelle was some girl he liked and we would take her out and hang out(well for him most nights were Michelle night but I got to go on Tuesdays)

Summer plans: No school! This is the first Friday without homework hanging overhead in forever. Maybe a weekend in Vegas, hopefully. We got the grandfolks out there a puppy that I’m eager to see. I also am planning to use the school-less time to make and implement some decidings about the work/school/living situations (thrill-o-rama, I know). Seeing late movies on hot nights and trying to avoid withdrawl from favorite shows. Eating Italian ice and not leaving the couch for hours at a time (not mutually exclusive).

This summer like the last I get to go through summer classes… Damnit… But I get out a year early for the low price of 2 destroyed summers. Luckily there’s enough time when I get out because I planned a 4-5 day flea marketing trip! SWEET!

Chestnuts roasted by Mattman @ 05/20/2006 1:18 AM

Summertime, yay! Uh, I plan to read everything you post (take your time we’ve got 3 1/2 months) and in the time not spent doing that I am building a new studio, just finished painting the walls today (the ceiling is next). I hope to go some where, most likely Michicagn (how exotic!). Doing new artwork, reading, writing, watching movies, the ususal.

Chestnuts roasted by Do Not Touch, Willy @ 05/20/2006 1:20 AM

In the fall im going to plan my daily roadtrip to Atlanta for Anime Weekend Atlanta, :3

Chestnuts roasted by DashiKun @ 05/20/2006 2:28 AM

We’re planning on moving back to the States so I can finish school, so we’re sort of saving up for that…except we found plane tickets to Paris for 40€ a piece, so we’re going to frickin’ France for 4 days. Should be fun.
Other then that, I’ll probably be working maditory over-time like I have been for the last month, because my company moved, and who ever took care of the logisticts of it all were utter idiots. ROS, oh yeah!
Oh, in a couple weeks, we’re going to a church married couples retreat. It should be fun, and hopefully nothing like Marge and Homer’s.

Chestnuts roasted by Mad Cow @ 05/20/2006 4:52 AM

My folks are flying over from the States to visit my husband and I for a weekend. Then, presuming I can get the time off, we’re hopping over to France for a week.

I haven’t seen my family in several months, so I’m looking forward to it.

Chestnuts roasted by Silkenray @ 05/20/2006 5:09 AM

Saving up money for Japan and hitting up the booze. Well, I might sneak in a camping trip or something like that here or there, but no major vacations.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 05/20/2006 5:33 AM

Me? I’m desperately trying to get my grad school and my scholarship foundation to talk to one another so I can register for summer classes, while simultaneously applying for a second job AND picking up random contracts for manual labor around campus, and occasionally emailing all my friends who are all hundreds of miles away for the summer. Yup, it’s summertime, and the living is GOOD GOD SOMEBODY PLEASE STAB ME WITH A SPORK.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 05/20/2006 7:43 AM

Plans for summer: Get drunk and par-tay! And visit Greece, if there’s enough time.

Chestnuts roasted by dudefromfinland @ 05/20/2006 7:59 AM

You know, I used to love that Rainbow Bright zoo movie.

As for summer plans, I’m gonna sleep a lot, and build a Ghostbusters proton pack. That’s all.

Oh yeah, and the library just got in some Mork And Mindy DVDs. I’m kinda looking forward to those, and they’ll kill a few hours of my summer.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff @ 05/20/2006 8:23 AM

1) Work
2) Start going to the gym on a regular basis again
3) Watch Big Brother 7: All-Stars! Whoo!

My big vacation happened last week, went to Hilton Head where all the important non-immediate relatives live. Beat Hans at mini golf. Went on a trolley tour of Savannah with a sardonic trolley conductor. While in Savannah we passed this haunted bed&breakfast that my grandparents stayed in and they have this creepy mannequin standing at the window where the chick supposedly fell to her death…or WAS SHE PUSHED?

I’m also pretty geeked to not be a nanny for the first time in two years. 10 hour days taking care of someone’s kids is not for me.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 05/20/2006 10:10 AM

Whoa, looks like a marathon session awaits us on the FNT/SNT.
Plans for the summer: (1) Not sure (2) something (3) watch T.V.

This is me and Mrs. Manimal’s 5 year anniversary so something big is bound to happen. Probably go to Charleston, S.C.
Also, I will be up in NY (messina) with Pops Manimal to pick up the niece and nephew. Along the way: GETTYSBURG and ANTIETAM!! \m/

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 05/20/2006 10:13 AM

Summer fun- Waking up late, playing with my dolls, I mean action figures! Then getting bored after a couple of days and longing for school to start. So sad.

Chestnuts roasted by Darth Poop @ 05/20/2006 10:17 AM

Summer plans? Bleh. I started my semi-summer term last week. Because my school is in New Orleans, the students were all scattered during fall term while they tried to unflood the city and such. So they’re having this condesnsed term for people to catch up if they didn’t take classes or didn’t take enough/the right classes. I’m taking the absolute max number, 12 credits (it’s smashed into 7 weeks), which requires special dean permission and all, hooray!

After that is over, I’m driving back to New Mexico to sleep a little in the remainder of my break. And apparently an archtect friend of my mother’s (I’m studying architecture) has some work for me now that I can draft on the computer. So yah, work.

I’ll most likely also be working on jewelry also. Those of you who like pretty shinies, click on my name. Etsy is a pretty cool site, everything on it is hand made. Plus, you can buy the work of a genuine x-e blog enthusiast (me)!

Eh, my summer will probably consist of the traditional drinking and swimming and swimming and drinking. There’s talk of me and a couple girls from work possibly making a trip to Hershey Park, but who knows. At some point once the new excursion schedule is out I gotta find someone to sucker into taking a ride on the Reading Railroad with me.

I’m just trying to make it through the weekend first. My cat went into the hospital yesterday with a urinary track infection, but he’s fine now and I can pick the sweetie up tomorrow morning. But my dog is on her last leg, and she’s getting put down on Tuesday. Very sad, but I knew it was coming.

Talking about vacations is a depressing subject for me. The only vacation I was EVER on, was going to Ocean City MD for about a week with my best friend and her parents. It wasn’t even that great because her stupid posessive boyfriend at the time had to come down also and so we were sneaking around, trying not to let her parents find out, though they did. It was kinda sucky…

But yeah, this summer is just going to be the same ol’ shit, different day. I always take vacation from work on my birthday but that’s not until August 24th. I don’t even have any plans for it.
