Freakin' sweet findings

So I went home the other day to my parent's house and I went on to the AOL thing. Not just the internet messenger, but like old style AOL. And my profile from like YEARS ago was still up there. It's funny to read and I though it would be fun to post. Mind you it's from 2003 sometime so it's obviously centered around certain things. But have a blast, I know I did. I also think it's fitting since I didn't write on April 21st, which was the 5 year mark of Travis passing away. I will say that that night was really good for me. I got to see the Knapps, and then sing with Kara and John, and talk to Anna, and then I got to just spend some time with Justin, which was good for all of us. =) Makes me happy. But here it is!

I love our late night talks, and your laugh. Your impression of Seward and *6 ft. piece of Bacon* was hysterical. <3>
		Hobbies...I have hobbies?? I don't know wheter you consider the things I do as "hobbies" but I love being with people at all times. My friends are the best thing ever. I don't care what we do, as long as I'm with someone. I'd rather be bored with someone, then alone. I use to be a nintendo fanatic, but my sister started getting better then me, and now I just play here and there. I guess one hobby would be that I LOVE to write. Its the only way I can express myself. God is also a big part of me, and even though I struggle, I know he is always there and won't let me stray too far....I think that if anyone ever has any questions about God or losing someone or anything, e-mail me cuz I always feel like talking. =)

Blogging about Blogging

So because I'm a crazy writer person, I've created yet ANOTHER blog. It's not that this one is not good enough for me, but I needed one to talk strictly about my surgery that's coming up. I have SO much to say about what is ahead of me that I wanted to devote it all to a different blog. I mean if not, this one would be non-stop surgery talk, and I figure people will get bored with it. And the good thing is, if people are really interested in the process, then they can visit the other blogsite! Everybody wins.

The reason I have so much to say is because I've never had surgery before. It's scary and thrilling all at the same time. But there are still so many questions and thoughts running through my head, so I just need to get them all out so I stay sane. So yes, the other blog is title "The Journey of Surgery" and here is the link: http://journeyofsurgery.blogspot.com/

So yes, don't worry, I won't stop writing on this thing, just know that if you wanna know ANYTHING about my "big day" it'll be on the other blog.

Have a great day guys!

Teen Thrill Kill... you've gotta be kidding me

We'll get to the Title of this later in this post, but we'll get to the fact that I haven't written in almost a month. Not because I haven't wanted to. I've even written blogs and just saved them so I can come back to them later and continue writing. But obviously nothing has been published.

It's been busy. i have another blog that I've been working on for my class and it's been keeping my pretty busy. I'll get the link in here so you can check it out (unless the teacher blocked other users from seeing, which then I'm ticked cuz what's the point if no one can read it!) But it's about music. I'm working on it... it's a work in progress type of thing. Haha. but it's fun to do. Some of it is assignment stuff that is boring, but I've completed to articles on there. I write it in blog form more than journalism form. Whatever... i'll get better.
http://ajvergin8749.edublogs.org/

So there's the link.... but anyway... Spring Break kept me pretty busy and I just felt like there was no time to do anything! I went down to Nebraska with Ali to see Laura and we just hung out watching Grey's Anatomy all weekend. It was super laid back and I was really excited to do that. Laura and I are always running around doing things to make it interesting, but I just like seeing her. =) It was fun and Ali had a blast too! I even ate Sushi again and LIKED It... who knew! And it wasn't because a certain boy waiter was helping us. (haha Kara)

After that Ali and I drove up to Milwaukee and we slept in the same bed as Josh! It was funny. Like I've known Josh forever, so it wasn't weird at all. It was nice to hang out with both of them. I then drove back to Minnesota and yah... that was my extended weekend! It was nice having alone time on the way back. I sang the entire 6 HOURS! Haha. But yah, the rest of the time I worked and hung out with Justin and Nate- I did that quite a bit actually! I love those boys though so it's totally worth it!

What kept me the busiest was house sitting the house from hell. It was just awful. 2 dogs, 4 puppies, and a cat. Talk about a handful... and there's a smell that goes along with a house that full of animals. The woman left me no directions (apparently she packed them by accident) and the puppies grew up a lot in ten days so they were jumping out of their pen, eating the older dog's food (which they just started eating mushy food, so it's prob. not good for them) and they can squeeze through the gate. I can't win. It was not a good experience at all. And I was supposed to sleep there but the dogs never shut up and went to the bathroom EVERYWHERE. So whatever. I get some money, but I'm just glad I'm done. ten days is a looong time. Especially when it's not even close to my dorm. Ahh! Ok, done ranting

What else.. I got to see Arlene and Travis last Sunday! Mind you I've never seen Travis before (but I had heard a lot of things... good things. lol) and Arlene I haven't seen in about two years. But she's the same girl that I met then and I absolutely love her! We ran around Uptown in the rain and got coffee, and played cards, and just kept busy. I wish she could always stay! =*(

Okay, anyway, basically the other sum up is: I miss Jen and can't wait to move in with her, I might study in Hawaii for next January-term which would be exciting as hell, I might have an internship for Metropolitan Media Group for the summer and that is thrilling, I might be studying in NEW YORK CITY for Spring semester! Ahh! It's crazy and might not happen, but I'm really excited about the possibility. Uh, and I'm having something exciting happening to me at the end of May... yay!

And finally, the title of my blog: So I happened to turn on the TV to see this trial for this 18 year-old-boy who did a thrill kill sometime in 2007. This whole thing is ridiculous. APPARENTLY it was "self defense" but here's the story: JP (the 18 yr old being charged) knew a man named Dan Sorenson who owed him money and had his gun. He decided to kill him for it, almost like a "thrill kill" or whatever they have been calling it. Then this other boy owed him like a $100 so he paid this boy to help him dispose of this Sorenson guy. And it was so brutal. First he lured this guy into his grandpa's basement, slit his throat, and then stabbed him about 12 times. After that, JP took a hacksaw and cut off his head, burned his fingers, lit fire to the torso, left it in a vacant lot, and threw the head into the river. WHAT THE CRAP!!

What is wrong with people? There was no way that this is a "self defense" thing! Like the guy who helped cleaned up started out defending his friend JP, but the big thing that happened in this story is that this eye witness switched sides and is now telling all the details of what happened. Not only is that the smarter thing to do, but his sentence is less. He's gonna still go to jail for 20-30 years. But he said that he made a "bad judgment call" when he decided to help JP out. Well duh you retard kid. You owed this guy $100.... get it from somewhere else! Don't say you'll help him dispose of a body! I just can't believe people are this sick. Okay, I'm sorry.... I just came across that and couldn't believe it. Yikes

I'm out,
Amy
