June Bugs

Καλό Μήνα!

It's been a while since I've posted and I believe a while ago, I promised a review of Ludo live, and a bunch of other stuff, so let me recap what's gone on in the month of June now that it's over!

Spanish Class
With June ending, Spanish I comes to a close my friends! In those four little weeks, I subjected myself to an extra two hours a day of being out of the house and additional time doing homework to learn a language that I'll most likely mix up with the other three that I know :). It was a lot of fun though, it reminded me that I like school, but I also learned that full time work + part time class = the pits! So miserable! I work work work, and then I have to go to class and learn, go home study, sleep and repeat. Granted it could be a far more miserable existence that I lead, but it was rough. I pulled through though and got an A in the class! With July beginning I'll begin Spanish II and we'll see how much I've retained in my week off :).

Fun Time!
I've had tons of it in June. I kicked off the month at RU Gardens with RuthyRebecca and The Drew. I got a bamboo staff, well realistically a piece of bamboo that will sit in my house till I decide to turn it into a staff! That was a lot of fun, I like doing outdoorsish things, so walking around there and hiking was an excellent starter to that sort of stuff!





The first weekend in June, I spent it with RuthyRebecca, Erica and the Drew. On the 6th we saw Ludo live at the Stone Pony. It was a great show! The funny thing about this show is that they were all hanging out maybe 5 feet away from where we were in the bar outside and I kept talking about I should just go up to them right? But I never did, because I'm a shy lil girl and I'd get all star struck and act like a retard. I didn't particularly care for Spill Canvas, nor do I think that they should've been the headliner, but that's just my opinion.

Ludo's performance definitely ranks on my top live performances list. Their sound was great, they had tons of energy, my only complaint was that it was such a short set! Afterwards we went to buy some merchandise. (RuthyRebecca and I will only buy merchandise if we really really really like a band) And we took a picture with Andrew Volpe, the lead singer got a CD and a tshirt signed. I probably look like a complete douche cause I was a lil tipsy. Which in retrospect I probably seemed like a complete tool, but that's not so different from any other day! We left a little into Spill Canvas' set. Took a couple pictures by their van for god knows what reason. Noticed Tim Ferrell, the guitarist outside and after debating whether or not it'd be rude to interrupt his phone call conversation, I put on my best polite little girl voice and Ruthy Rebecca and I went up to him and asked him to sign our goods while Erica and the Drew sat in the car awaiting our return! (I still think it was rude to interrupt him, but after Ruthy Rebecca messaged Ozzie he assured me it wasn't -- and he's a rocker!) Dropped Ruthy Rebecca back at her place, went to the Reo with Erica and Drew where we sat for hours feasting on a various assortment of comestibles and bullshitting the night away!!




That Saturday I also went to Ruthy's family reunion. And what a family reunion it was. This was the reunion to end all reunions! I originally thought it was going to be around the same number of people that were there for her graduation, if not a few more. At most 50 people. I was dead freakin' wrong. There were at least 200 people at the Cacheeries family festival. Tents, live bands, a stage, traditional Peruvian dancers, name tags, absurd amounts of food, a banner welcoming the family, family members from various states and peru itself, families with T-Shirts and even Cacheeries family historian...who traced the family ALL THE WAY BACK to I think the 15th century...and was giving people tours and explaining relations. It was insane.

Sunday was Erica's Graduation Party Round 2. She had a party up in Maine and now back in the Dirty Jersey. I went with my fellow commrades and we rocked out...in Erica's ridiculously hot house. (Her AC decided it didn't want to work on one of the hottest days in the summer) Despite the ridiculous heat, I had a great time. Hung out with Erica and her familia, got fed delicious food, had ridiculously delicious coffee, took pictures! All around an awesome Sunday and great close to the end of the week.

The following weekend, I went to a party at Jeremiah's house. It was actually a good time. I mostly hung out with Ozzie, Abe, Ruthy Rebecca and as usual The Drew. We drank a little, avoided dancing as much as possible. Party broke up, our little group gathered at Ruthy Rebecca's. Bullshitted there and then the night culminated at the Reo.

The following weekend I went Whitewater Rafting with Maria, Jay, Andrew, Tom, Lesia, Joe, Matt and Mindy. Had an AWESOME time. Even though I got a migraine which made me stomach upset and caused me to vomit...my team however (which consisted of Maria,Jay, Andy, Joe, Peter, Paul and myself...in boat 69) were number 1! WOOT! I fell out of the boat twice too, it was great! Definitely worth doing again. Next time I'm brining Cacheeries along for the ride...and will probably pull her out of the boat when I go flying out the same way Maria did to me!


June ended with Holly coming home and our catching up with her. Along with going to see Louis CK at the state theater and buying my bridesmaid's dress for my sister's wedding. Louis CK was EXCELLENT. Hilarious, I don't think I've ever laughed for that long in my entire life. I should have rock hard abs after that show...but sadly I don't. Holly's the same, but now she's fueled with kayaking power. She showed us her Antartica album. I saw lots of snow and rocks. We watched a couple of movies, played a couple of card games, ate some delicious popcorn, did a lot of talking and chop busting. I also spent part of the weekend with Ruthy trying to figure out Montreal and all of that nonsense for next weekend as well as trying to catch Ellisif up to Paeen on WOW. This weekend also was the announcement of Diablo III. Which sparked Andrew to install Diablo II and start playing again. I'm sure when that game finally comes out, I'll surely lose him...but I'm also sure that when that game comes out...Ellisif will fall even farther behind Paeen! (Unless I hit 70 by the time that comes out, but with the expansion looming it's pretty head, I'm sure Danny will be at 80 long before I ever come close to 70!)

That was pretty much June.

Let's see what July has in store:

• Montreal Trip this weekend!!!!
  
• Possibly going to Warped Tour
• Possibly going to the Tom's River Ice Cream Festival
• Rock band with the Sac-ettes
• More bs-ing and hanging out
• Spanish Part Deux.
