Happy first day of summer =)

I hope all of you had a fantastic year and a great summer, and I'm not giving anyone any options... if you're reading this, we're hanging out over the summer. Okay? Okay, good.

Here's some pictures of the last few weeks of school.

Jeff and I were being emo kids about the last taco day =(

The fabulous Laura and me.

Aww it's Christina and doesn't Mitch look absolutely thrilled?

Nate has something against cameras.

Me and Paulina. Yeah we're cool.

Look it's Todd!

Haha Chris is having too much fun with the camera.

Ethan was probably the most willing model. Ever.

Me and Jacob are the sexiest things alive. You can't deny it =)

Aww Goat and Beatriz. Look how happy =)

...And I leave you with T-mal yelling about her shoe. Pretty upsetting that it broke, I know. On the subject of Miss T, yay for her and Mitch! Yeah, Ace and I had to work some vaccum magic on that one haha.

Warped Tour is next week. Who's excited? Nicole is. Oh and here's an mp3 of Moneen, they're going to be there and I like this song (The Frightening Reality of the Fact That We Will All Have to Grow Up and Settle Down Someday... yeah, that's the song title. They're competing with Fall Out Boy for longest song name). [x] <click. And since you kids don't get enough good music these days, here's The First Single by The Format. [x] <click. And the new song is Lack of Air by the Sunstreak, the mp3 is [x] there.

Comments? As in more than 2 please? Yes, I think so.

I love you guys. Alot.

Isn't it sad how people don't use xanga anymore?

Tue, 23 May 2006 21:14:53 GMT

I think it is. But that's just me. I miss the days of 50+ comments per entry. If you think about it, MySpace really isn't that different than xanga, so I don't really understand why everyone's switching.

And happy 2 year birthday to my xanga, a few weeks late. I've had over 8,000 different visitors and over 26,000 actual visits. Oh and over 1,300 comments =)

Anyway, on a different note, has anyone else noticed how absolutely pathetic people can be...? Surely you can find a better use of your time than making other people's lives miserable. So if people shut their effing mouthes, we'll all be happy happy happy =)

Do you ever wonder how your life would be different if you didn't know a person that you know now? Lately I've realized that some of you have alot to do with what happens in my life, and I wonder if I didn't know you how life would change for me.

Summer is almost here. This year has been... well... interesting. Interesting pretty much sums it up. I've made alot of new friends (and I love you all TO DEATH, by the way), and relationships with some of my older friends have changed, some better and some worse (and some, I still have no clue about?). I don't think I could go a year without some serious drama, which I don't think I want to elaborate on. I've also realized that people aren't very trustworthy, with anything, whether it's secrets or toothbrushes (haha) or ________ (fill in the blank, be creative). And I also want to mention the fact that half the school owes me gum, the other half owes me money, and some owe me both. Better get going kids.

I think I've had too much time to think.

I'll leave you off with this lovely scene of summer, starring me and Christine.

New profile picture =

Oh yeah. New song (again). 99 Red Baloons by Goldfinger. In case anyone's wondering, yes, that's the song I randomly start singing throughout the day =)

New background too. Do we like?

So Yellowcard = awesommmmeeee. If you weren't there, you missed out =)

...And my A Change of Pace stopped working. Gotta love it. So here's one of my favorite songs of all time... Dance Dance Christa Paffgen by Anberlin <33 <clickkk.

So I'm thinking it's time for a new profile picture. Yet again. I'll get some possibilities up with another edit laterrr.

Edit timeeee.

Which pic should be the new profile pic...?

^Number one.^

Alright I'm back from vacation... I know you all missed me. And 51 comments to come home to... you guys are the greatest =). Guess what time it is now? Pictures! You're stoked, don't even lie.

Vegas...

The wing of the plane. Sweet, ¿no?

The view out the window in our hotel in Vegas (aka the Luxor).

The Luxor. The elevator had to go up at a slant because the hotel was slanted. It was definitely weird.

The city thing that was over the casino.

The ceiling of the Bellagio. Colorfullll.

Me and Christine trying to take a pic in the window. It didn't work out so good haha.

Bryce Canyon.

Awww. Christinie is tired...

What, they don't want yellow shrubbery?

Apparently, crouching keeps you safe in a rockslide. At least, according to Christine.

Bryce was cold. Sign = pretty self-explainitory.

View from the hotel window at Bryce.

Okay, admit it... I am THE COOLEST kid you know.

We went skiing at Brianhead. Powder = amazing. I don't think I can ever go back to ice lol.

That one is for all you pansies who went somewhere warm.

Grand Canyon.

View from our hotel room at the GC.

Christine needs a b-room break.

We hiked on the rim trail. If I had fallen off (which I almost did!) that's where I would have taken a nice tumble...

That was the thickest part of the rim trail. Yep, the rest of it was only like a foot across, if that.

Mud. I look thrilled, I'm preparing to dig myself out. Oh and I'm pointing downat my feet, but you can't really see that in this pic.

So can everyone see why I got new shoes? Thought so.

I hope you all had a fantastic spring break.

Another new pro pic. Thanks to Miss T at the volleyball game for that one =)

iloveyou

Oh. New song. Ironside by Nine Black Alps.

I couldn't find Only Ashes for my xanga. So, here's a choice for you.... Aside by the Weakerthans, or Barbie Girl (the cool version by MXPX), or the song I have on here now (Surrender by Matchbook Romance)? The chioce is yours. First ummmm five or ten votes wins. I haven't made up my mind yet, it depends how fast you leave those comments...

Edit.

It's March 09 of 06.

In case you

absolutely

needed to know.

So, I don't really care what you think. I think only two of you actually voted for the song, but I decided they don't count =) The new song on here is by The Exies. They pretty much rock.

I need help...

Keep the pro pic I have...

...or change to this one?

Can we actually vote this time? Kay thanks.

Another edit. 3-13.

I decided to delete most of my entry because I got tired of scrolling down so far. Haha. How's that for lazy?

So, my birthday is wenesday. As in March 15. Just to let all of you know =) I'm excited...

Okay, I promise. Pics up soon.

You guys are pretty much the best. I love all of you.

Mucho <33333

Guess what time it is...? Yeah, you guessed it! Picture time! I know you're psyched...

^Me, Miss T, and Courney. Apparently, something on my ceiling was fascinating.

^Yeah, I'm a cool kid.^

^Oh so seductive. You know you can't resist the sparkles (or the burger king crown!)^

^Peek-a-boo! Haha Miss T....^

^I'm a hardcore drummer with my glitter pencils and Geometry book = )^

^Ace is the singer. "You are beautiful...."^

^HAT!^

^Ace + world's biggest basketball = good times.^

^Ace is workin it with my board.^

^I am never letting Ace put me into a pose ever again. It was pretty tough not to roll across the floor...^

^I guess 10 pounds is pretty tough on Acey Ace.^

^Glad Miss T feels better. It sure was bad for the rest of us.^

^Crazy hair. I'm showing off windblown, Miss T is sporting a half mohawk, and Ace is demonstrating Asian.^

^Me and Ace playing foosball. I totally dominated...^

Best for last... it's even blown up.

^Now the question is... did Ace pee her pants while yelling at the newspaper kid...?!?^

Hope you liked the 50 million pics. This time next month, I will be in Vegas. Staying in the Pyramid. Yeah I'm stoked. Just thought I'd let you all know = )

Edit. February 17.

New song by... Nine Black Alps... Get Your Guns. Good song. The CD isn't even out in the States yet, and I already have it... Yes, that makes me cooler than you.

And since I'm so nice, here's a link so you can listen to the new Matchbook Romance. This is one of my favorite songs on the new CD, Surrender.

Enjoy la musica.

New Matchbook Romance = 9 days. Who's excited? I am! I put one of the songs on my xanga... once again, I'm amazing so I got some of it before it came out :) You have to crank it up and wait a couple seconds for it, but it's worth it.

So I'm definitely ready for summer already. It's going to be really busy but fun. And we reserved our beach house for the summer, take a look here. <<click Check out the view. It's about a minute walk to the beach, it's great.

I really don't know what to write. I might edit later, so check back in a few days.

Edit...

Our hot water is still broken. So if I ask for a shower at your casa, don't look at me like I'm loco. On that note, I have some stuff for you! Yeah, I know you're excited.

First.... I'm really thankful for the simpleness of my shower. I mean, you have no idea, some people's showers are really confusing. It's psycho.

Second, prepare yourself for Random Thoughts With Nicole.

Third, why do they have "Do not use while sleeping" written in blow dryer instructions? That would be pretty tough to do. "Alright, I'm gonna go lay on the couch while having this thing aimed at my head. Sounding like a small jet taking off from my ear? Not a problem." ...?...

Fourth, how much would it suck to have the job of carving butter? (You know those butter statues they have at fairs? That's what I'm talking about. Someone had to carve those things. There's enough butter in those for a small country in Africa to be supplied for a year.) Artists, lawyers, plumbers, whatever... they all have something to show for their work.
Person: "What do you do for a living?"
Butter Carver: "I carve butter."
Person: "Ohh can I see something you've carved?"
Butter Carver: "Oh sorry, it melted seven months ago..."
Yeah, that would suck.

Why am I having such random thoughts? I have more but I think I'm gonna stop now.

Xanga. Long time no see. I am currently avoiding a game of yahtzee by "studying"... haha. Hmm. I haven't done a picture entry in awhile, I think you're all about due for another one. I have plenty of pics for you guys, but I'm only going to post a few because I guess my xanga already takes a long time to download. I'll work on that later...

Kelsie and Sydney being gangstas at Firehouse.

Me and the B-dog. He was definitely helping me assemble that dresser.

My awesome bands wall....

Miss T is totally rockin out.

Ace and Courtney are being cheerleaders for Miss T.

Miss T just chillin.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's.... Ace?

That's my neighbor Nathan. He's pretty hardcore. I'm jealous of his sunglasses.

Yep, it's Bobby. And Christine's sculpture of Bobby. Can we see the resemblence...?

Brizzy and his Awful Mad Kitty toy. Haha.

P.S... GORGEOUS new song. Listen.
