I’m taking classes this summer, but I still have an open enough schedule to enjoy my summer a little. Sometime during the sweltering heat of July, the boyfriend and I will be taking a mini-roadtrip (3 hours) down to Orlando to go to Wet n’ Wild, because we have leftover tickets from our last Orlando vacation, back in late March, when it was unseasonably cold.

Other than that, no particular plans, other than frequent trips to the beach and maybe catching up with my best friend, who just graduated from high school and will have some time on her hands.

Summer plans? Summer is the busy season hera at the ol’ Gallery of Art at Anadarko. (had to plug to justify both my position and ‘net hookup.) We get to talk to people from all over the nation, and around the world. Just making new freinds and trying not to strangle the ones who ask about "the tribes who still live in teepees." Drop on by if you’re road tripping through the Sooner State this Summer. I’ll be the dumpy guy at the computer.

This summer Hubby and I are going to LBI with his family like we do every year, I usally can not wait for it, but this year I fear it. My In Laws are going to drive me batty telling me how to take care of my son and trying to take over. I’m hoping I get the courage to have a nice little talk with them before we go.

I’m also hoping that DH and I will get our house rented before summer so we can move back home near people we know, my friend is home for the summer and I can’t wait to have a social life again

Next Friday, I’ll be departing from the safe, inviting bosom of the buckeye state to spend 10 days on the coast of Maine. It’ll be 10 days filled with fishing, boating, clam-bakes, and (if Matt’s appraisal of the region is accurate) Pepsi.

I’m going to Monster Mania in August. I couldn’t go this weekend. Corey Feldman, Roddy Piper!!!

I had the Red box of French Fries in the McDonalds Changable line.
I would always pretend he was HeatMan from Megaman 2 since he looks exactly like him.

Mystie- Sorry to hear about your dog, I don’t know what I would do if I had to put my fuzzy buddy down. I’d probably commit seppuku. It would be the only honorable choice.

Chestnuts roasted by Darth Poop @ 05/20/2006 4:22 PM

Plans for summer? Read "The Golem’s Mighty Swing," "Glamorous Disasters," and "Teenagers from Mars." Also, I’m gonna go to Myrtle Beach in late June.

Little Brother and his wife wonder what they’re going to do when the time comes for their old grey cat to move to the next world. Sister-in-Law wants to go the whole Egyptian route, Mummification and all. But my Big Sister (living with them cause she doesn’t play well with others) thinks that’s over the top. Sis-in-law wants to shave everyone’s eyebrows, even if it means shaving Big Sis’s in her sleep. In-Law’s Caddo, not Egyptian, but is a history buff.
Little Brother, in typical fashion, wants to freeze-dry the cat and display her in a typical pose. Big Sis is creeped out a might at that one. "But then we can move her around the house every so often, and place her in her favorite spots." I hope he’s kidding.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 05/20/2006 5:10 PM

None. Unless you count work and school, of course. And I don’t.

Wow, that was easy. Last year I would’ve been able to add a lot more to the discussion. =\

Chestnuts roasted by Matt(#2?) @ 05/20/2006 5:16 PM

I am hoping to make a small, or *fingers crossed* a huge move this summer. Either was I am going back to Seattle for a bit ’cause my oldest sister is turning 30, and we gotta embarrass her properly. I am also now registered for 2 different schools in 2 states, for the fall. So, I need to pick a place to live soon.
And, in high school I lived in the sticks and we’d skip last hour on wednesdays and drive to another small town, but this one had a burger king. And we called that, Whopper Wednesday.

I’ll probably go to Toronto and New York for a vacation. I’m definately going to New York in Decemeber too.
In fact, I went to Boston and New York in January and recently had a long weekend in Copenhagen.
That’s one of the great things about living in England, we get loads of vacation time and Europe is on the doorstep. I do like New York though.
And also if England get to the World Cup final, I’m going to Germany, even if I have to sell my house.

Chestnuts roasted by Scott @ 05/20/2006 6:19 PM

Pffth.
I have no plans what soever.
Besides spending all my free time on the internet.

Man this week is gonna rule.

Chestnuts roasted by Ryan @ 05/20/2006 7:05 PM

I need to get a proper job this summer.
So I can have money for college in the fall.
Which I don’t wanna do, because I feel weird about getting a late start. Some folks my age are already graduating and I haven’t even started.

But my brother loses his financial aid if I don’t go. There are worse things I could do, I suppose.

Chestnuts roasted by Somethin' Funny @ 05/20/2006 7:47 PM

I haven’t had a real vacation in years. By that, I mean taking a trip somewhere. Offtime from work, I lay around the house and do basically nothing. Glamorous, yeah I know. I don’t feel the desire to travel anymore, it all feels like work to me. I’m sure I’d feel different if I were married or had kids, but since I don’t it all feels like alot of effort for something I likely wouldn’t enjoy since I’d just feel alone doing it by myself.

That, plus I make alot less money than I used to. I work for a certain airline based in Atlanta, and we had 3 pay cuts last year. In addition to that, I’ve been on a 32 hour shift for the last year, so money is tight, not that I care so much. The 3 day weekends make up for it. Of course, having no cash means I spend all that time at home, heh. Most people take the reduced hour line to take classes or work another job; I’m probably the only one doing it just because I’m lazy.

I am very much looking forward to the summmer…because for the first time in my entire life, I’ll be having a normal, QUIET summer. No tourists making noise in the hotels and apartments on either side of me. No drunken kids starting fights on the street at six AM. No praying a classic car won’t run me down as I try to get to the boardwalk to blow money at the arcades I probably shouldn’t be blowing. No fighting for hours at work with 500 different people from three states and five European countries. I’ve looked forward to this summer since I moved to Oaklyn in February – a summer in a nice, normal little town where June, July, and August are just a warmer time of year, not the be-all and end-all of the universe.

And with all that, I actually AM taking a vacation. I’m visiting my best friend, who lives in the Berkshire mountains in northwestern Massachussettes, in late July. I’m looking forward to that, too. It’ll be just her, me, and her folks. We’re gonna hit local mini-golf courses, check out her local Six-Flags, mall-hop, and hang out and do our own commentary for her DVDs.

Damn, where the hell is everyone? It’s SNT time, bitches!

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 05/20/2006 11:21 PM

Speaking of Six Flags, I’m hoping to go to Great Adventure sometime within the next month, or when El Toro opens, whichever one comes first.

Last night (friday) was my Frat’s Formal…it’s kinda like a prom, but much more private. And BOY did I get drunk (open bar). I just want to thank XE that this was at a Holiday Inn and everyone stayed in the hotel and no one drove anywhere. I’m currently feeling my first hangover troughout today. Lots of crazy stuff happened, I just don’t wanna do anything right now.

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 05/20/2006 11:22 PM

sorry mystie, I’m tired, a few more beers and I should be good.
my dogs are the only pets that don’t make me sad when they die because they live a long time and I always expect. Excepet Scottie he died while I was at grandmas when I was seven. That was sad.

Chestnuts roasted by mrjayberry @ 05/20/2006 11:50 PM

Let’s get this bitch on ’til the break of dawn like hot buttered popcorn.

My summer will consist of slaving away at near-slave-wages at a movie theater overrun by teenagers.

Chestnuts roasted by Spoodles @ 05/21/2006 12:08 PM

Well, as nutso as it sounds. I’m playing Final Fantasy XI this summer. Yeah, two (three?) years late, sue me. I’m actually playing on a PS2. Had to trade my slimline for a chubby and everything. You do not want to know how much money I sunk into this rig. But for my favorite series of all time, I glady empty my coffers.

If anyone needs the services of a theif from Bastok, hit me up. My name supposedly means Airport Fireplace. I rule and suck simultaneously.

Well, I’m going on a cruise with my parents (I’m 14), as well as going to Universal Studios and to my grandpa’s place in Texas. That’s basically it.

Chestnuts roasted by TOM @ 05/21/2006 1:16 AM

Matt-I actually searched for the Ghoulie movies for a while. Even worse is Ghoulies IV was the first one I saw then I worked backwards. Never did find the orginal though.
