living in pigeon forge the past two summers made me love the 4th of july and america. and turned me a little redneck. i throw up the 3 for dale everytime i see anything related to it and love cut off tshirts. and america. most of its a joke but i really am blessed to live in america so why not have some pride. today was the first day off from work besides weekends i've had and it was soooooo nice. i cleaned carolines house and met with my friend rory and hung with mary and hung with erica and hung with evan then changed into my cut off eagle shirt that says america on it and took my watermelon to andrew, adam, and dereks apartment and hung with some people we play ultimate with and played intense card games. then i ate food that had been in the car and it was really hot and got really really bad diarrhea. and wanted to die. but it passed. then i was an hour late to jon's party but we got there just in time for the fire works and the dance party and it was the best. michael put on a strobelight app on his iphone and we danced like fools. this boy matt and i petitioned for call me maybe and they finally put it on and we raved. then i came home to go to bed and write this blog. it was such a good day. maybe one of the best days i have had in a long time. i hung out with literally almost all my favorite people i could in this state and danced and laughed hard and ate a lot of watermelon. now i have 19 more hours to work this week till the weekend when i can do it all over again. love it so much. so grateful for days off and good friends. and remembering i can have fun without drinking, i kinda forgot that a little bit.
