Wow I had a grrrreat week! Just got back from Kentucky yesterday. It was so awesome. The best vacation ever. Every 2 years the whole family meets in Kentucky for a family reunion. My immediate family and I always stay at the Bel-Air Motel. (immediate family meaning me, mom, Granny, Deda, Michelle, Dave, Aunt Patty, Uncle Bill, Jennifer, Grant, and Justin. lol. we're all so close so I just call them my immediate family) And for many of the past reunions, a lot of other Duncans have stayed there as well. And it's always so great because almost the whole motel is filled with family. And the motel is famous among the family because it has this HUGE yellow umbrella in the front with 14 very comfortable outdoor rocking chairs forming a circle under it. And usually they're filled with no one but family. Everyone just sitting around talking and enjoying the weather. It's my favorite thing in the whole world to do. We all love each other so much and have so much fun together, it's wonderful.
Anyway... the last reunion before this one was different... there weren't that many Duncans staying at Bel-Air and those chairs outside were only filled with family like one time during the entire 8 day stay. So it was kind of sad and we all had the feeling it was going to be over soon and not be the same anymore. But this year ROCKED. The Duncans invaded Bel-Air once more and those chairs were filled almost every night with family. I had the best vacation ever.
Now the actual reunion itself was pretty groovy... awesome food, awesomer family. And Timmy showed a tape of the 1986 family reunion. It was so funny to see how different everyone looked. I was only 2 at the time and Jennifer was 4... I must say we were very cute children. lol. I started crying pretty hard though when the tape had some shots of Deda walking around with a huge smile on his face. I just wasn't expecting to see him, but I'm so glad he was on that tape. It was like even now he's still coming to the family reunions. There was also a shot of him holding me that got me even more emotional. Despite the crying, it really did feel good to see him, we've all missed him so much during this reunion.
I asked mom after that if there were any pictures of me sleeping on Deda. Cuz when I was a baby all I ever did was sleep on my Deda's stomach. It was the warmest spot in the whole world. Even now I can still remember how warm and comfortable it was because I still slept there even as a toddler. lol. I must have been like 6 or 7 when I finally stopped. Maybe even later than that. Anyway... when I woke up today mom gave me a picture... I was a few weeks old at the time, laying with my tummy facing down and my cheek pressed against Deda's and he was sleeping with the most beautiful smile on his face. It's such a precious picture, I'm going to get a special frame for it and scan it so I can carry it with me wherever I go.
Well I have a LOT more to write... about the Taste of Chicago and crazy things my family has done and all that but my post is long enough for now so it will wait. Ooh except for this... I am SO getting a job now. Nothing has inspired me more to want to work my butt off than visiting my cousin Ricky's car dealership. He owns this Honda dealership and man.... some of them cars are freakin unbelievable. I love my Saturn... but I am SO getting a Honda if it's the last thing I do. Ok well maybe my Mitsubishi Eclipse... but either way, I'm getting a HOT car. On the way to that dealership I saw in person for the first time the new 2006 Mitsu Eclipse.... it took my breath way. Be still my rapid heart.

Will the sadness ever stop?
2005 is officially the worst year of my entire life. Hands down.
My beautiful Uncle Pete (the young one, not the older one) passed away this morning. Here he was fighting cancer like his brother (my late Deda) and he dies of a heart attack in the washroom. This really blows. He was such a HUGE comfort to us all cuz he reminded us so much of Deda and now he's gone. :( I don't know how much more I can take.
But at least all 3 brothers are with God now... creatings tons of chaos I'm sure.
Keep our family in your prayers please. We need it now more than ever.

I hate people.
Ok well not really, but people are morons. Especially the kind who break into your car after you JUST got it back from the shop and were all proud of how nice and new it looked with its perty new grille. The kind that completely ignore the one simple button that has the ability to smoothly pop out a cd player and they just yank the whole bloody thing out instead, taking with it some very much needed parts to keep the air conditioner/heat working. NOT THAT WE NEED AIR NOW WITH THE FREAKIN WINDOW SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IN A BILLION TINY PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I'm calm now.
But kleptos suck.

Man, life is crazy. I never thought I'd be standing in a cemetary on Memorial Day to honor my precious Deda. But that's where I was! It was nice though, there were flags on pretty much every grave in his section and tons of beautiful flowers to match. Plus there were a lot of people there, including a guy who works there and was riding along in his trackter thingy with the song "taking care of business" blasting from the radio. lol. Somehow everything made me feel really good... all those people there, the crazy guy with the music... it was like hey even over here in some cemetary Deda isn't alone. I mean I know his soul is with it's maker and he's where he belongs right now but you get my point. The grave doesn't have to be a lonely place either.
Well then later Granny, mom, and I went over to Michelle and Dave's for a cookout and we got our very own live episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. It was histerical, if only you all could see how emotional Michelle is with that baby. I believe the entire dinner conversation went like this...
Michelle: Here, Dave if you're going to eat the corn on the cob, use these little thingies to stick on the end of em.
Dave: Sweetie, I can eat my corn fine without them.
Michelle: (now looking totally ticked off) Why do you have to be so difficult, David. Just use them. I bought them and they're cute, JUST USE THEM!
Dave: Ok I'm using them!
Michelle: NO! You have to let me put them on for you!
Dave: Ok... look though, even when I am eating my corn my fingers just slide right past them and I end up holding them the same way anyhow.
Michelle: David, there are knives at this table...
Granny: Honestly Michelle... sweetie, I can't use em either. I'm not used to them.
Me: Here, Michelle you can put them on mine, I like to use them.
Michelle: (now looking uber happy)
Dave: I swear Chrissy, you're lucky you're not sitting next to me right now.
Michelle: Just shut up David.
David: Actually sweetie if you're going to use them right you have to cut off the ends of the cob first.
Michelle: FINE. (very violently chops off an end of my cob and shoves one in)
Dave: (now laughing at her)
Michelle: (picking up knife and waving it at Dave) Honey, sweetie... I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
Granny: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM this corn is GOOD!
Come on. Does reality get any better?

All the things I wanted to say just up and ran away on their own.
So many regrets I’ve held in my hand or tucked away in my home.
The things I felt when I looked in your eyes are still around, I swear.
The memories and laughs haven’t left just yet, everything is there.
My love was the best song I never sang,
My love was a prize-winning book I never wrote.
My love is a ballroom dance waiting to be put into motion.
My love is the heart of the gold I never sold.
I’ve never felt so un-alone in all my life, I’ve never felt so un-ignored.
Every whisper, every prayer, every thought, every tear I cry is never in vain.
I’ve never felt a hand on my shoulder be as apparent and true as I do now.
Even with you gone, I swear your soul is part of the only way I’m sane.
My love was the best song I never sang,
My love was a prize-winning book I never wrote.
My love is a ballroom dance waiting to be put into motion.
My love is the heart of the gold I never sold.
I swear to you I’ll lift Him up, I swear to you I will.
Because I know the man I loved is beating within Him still.
When I cry for you, when I mourn for you, when I’m trying to get through
That hand reaches down to my shoulder again just to lift me up to you.
My love was the best song I never sang,
My love was a prize-winning book I never wrote.
My love is a ballroom dance waiting to be put into motion.
My love is the heart of the gold I never sold.
To give it away would be insane,
there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t pray
so God knows when I say I love you, that I will always love you
and that’s all I’ve got to say.

YESSSS! My favorite show is back on tv! *jigs* Complete Savages keeps coming and going, they can't decide if they want to keep it on but I sure hope they do. It's the best show that no one is watching. My mom and I watch it whenever it does come on and laugh our heads off and then go to talk to people about it but no one has seen it! What is up with that?! They need to start showing it on a Sunday or something instead of a Friday. I mean people are busy on Friday, of course it's not going to get good ratings. *rollseyes*
Anyhoo... I went to HANGnight last night with the Chancester because he was all Beautiful Tragedy is gonna be there! Which I had totally forgotten so I went to see BT and Steph cuz I hadn't seen Steph in forever... but of course BT ended up not being there. Just my luck. :( Though it meant worse luck for other people. :( :( But it was still fun. I got to see Steph, Kristin, Chancy, and Benji and Innermission was funny times and the band we saw... God's Gang I think it is was pretty good so in the end I'm glad I went. Discovered I reallly, REALLY can't wait to see Flatfoot 56 at e2 fest cuz their music has the power to get Benji and me reeeeally hyper. *bangs her head off* And now here I am... just chillen and then gettin ready for a big Halo party at the house later. Should be good times. Hectic, chaotic, and too big to control... but good times nonetheless. And I'm hoping at some point I can show Fifi the last Lost episode cuz it was awesome!!

This Revenge of the Sith Star Wars book is freakin unbelievable. This writer has captured my heart. Matthew Stover... ROCKS.
I love the way he describes Obi-Wan...
"This is Obi-Wan Kenobi:
A phenomenal pilot who doesn't like to fly. A devastating warrior who'd rather not fight. A negotiator without peer who frankly prefers to sit alone in a quiet cave and meditate.
Jedi Master. General in the Grand Army of the Republic. Member of the Jedi Council. And yet, inside, he feels like he's none of these things."
...
"He is respected throughout the Jedi Order for his insight as well as his warrior skill. He has become the hero of the next generation of Padawans; he is the Jedi their Masters hold up as a model. He is the being that the Council assigns to their most important missions. He is modest, centered, and always kind.
He is the ultimate Jedi."
Go Obi-Wan!

Ok ok ok I haven't updated in a while again but I've been really out of it. I got hives and they were TERRIBLE. They left me in a hospital bed (at Granny's house since she had one there for Deda) for like 5 days. They made me hurt and they made me incredible sick and weak! Finally I went to the doctor to make sure I didn't have mono or something and he told me it's definately an allergic reaction to something... the problem is finding out what. They took some blood at the hospital though and gave me a shot to relieve the symptoms... ahhh.... nice shot. *hugs it* But now I have to go to an allergist and he's going to run all kinds of tests on me to try and find out what I'm allergic to! And I sure hope he can cuz right now it seems like I'm taking a million pills a day to keep the hives away. :(
Well on a brighter note... I did not let these hives stop me from seeing Star Wars at midnight on opening night. I was feeling like crap but I hadn't been out of bed in forever and I really wanted to go so I got up and went! Philip picked me up cuz I was too weak to drive and we met up with Rob, Alex, and Latres and saw the movie! It was great! But you know what's weird? I think my favorite part of the whole experience happened during the previews before the movie even started. Because ok well you know how the audience is all pumped on opening night and cheers all time for great moments in the movie? Well the audience cheered probably its loudest for the preview for the Chronicles of Narnia. I was like ok this audience is so cool. And everyone was happy, people were crazy but not too crazy, no one was swearing or being jerks, it was just an all around pleasant experience.
As for the movie... so AWESOME! I loved it the first time I saw it but I saw it again last night with Philip, Chancy, Benji, Brandon, Nick, and Melanie and it was even better the second time around. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be downright in love with it by the 8th time I see it. Sure the love scenes were soooo bad acting wise and they completely ruined Padme's character, but so many other things make up for it but I'm not going to talk about them just yet incase there are some people who have not seen it yet. But yea, I think it's awesome.
Well after the movie we all went to Steak N Shake and had a crazy good time. Half way through the meal Brandon says he's heard that I'm a Lost fan and a great conversation took off. Tis always good to find people who are as into Lost as Philip and me are! Though Autumn and I seem to be the only ones who have watched EVERY episode. Philip and Brandon both missed the first few episodes including the BEST one ever based on John Locke and his backstory. But as Brandon has told me the DVD will be out September 27th so they can see it then! I can't wait for the dvd! HOORAY!
Also Philip showed me how to get into his new house and showed me my little room... I still need to go over there though and work on it, it's too drab for Chrissy right now. It's got a really nice atmosphere over there right now though. Chancy walking around whistling and singing, Philip doing pretty much the same, Brandon with his radio thing upstairs that talks to people and Chrissy at the kitchen table mumbling random things and drawing sketches. lol. I think it's going to be good times for everyone. Best boarding house ever.
