Its kind of like bret michaels

Only not really.

This weekend was the Chicago country music festival. I went with my mom to see John rich play. Someone played before him, but we had never heard of them. They were okay. Before JR came out some other people came out. It was Sinister and Chi Chi from Daisy of Love. My mom didn’t know who they were so I had to explain the whole rock of love daisy of love thing. Sinister sang some Michael Jackson song that I can’t remember right now, but it was kind of terrible. He has a cd coming out. Ick. Why are people who can’t sing allowed to do this?

Grad Party. Yay!

The quote of the day: “We are not having another party if another baby comes from it.” – Mom

Watching drunk people is a lot more entertaining than being drunk.

Multiple videos of people were taken by me. Very funny. I hate how I sound in the videos. I’d that is really how I sound to people I’m sorry I have such an annoying voice.

The atomic cake was super yummy and super tall. The slices we cut for everyone had to be super thin.

It didn’t rain!!!

The DJ played good music. At one point we were dancing and then everyone left me and I was dancing by myself. That is the second time that happened. I think people need to stop leaving me when we are dancing.

I got bit by what feels like a million mosquitos. I’m kind of spotty.

We had kind of a lot of people in my hot tub. Pretty sure we lost half of the water. Ha.

Police Department Internship Day 27

Was with three different officers today. Once again in a car from 6am-2pm.

Officer 1: I got to use the radar gun again. He wrote someone a ticket for speeding. I like using it. While I was holding it a car would drive by and he would say how fast he it was going. He did it with a few of the cars and he was right. He wasn’t like close he would say 31 and the radar gun said 31. One thing that he did a lot was sing the songs on the radio. He also dances while he sings sometimes. Definitely maybe the most entertaining officer. Even though we started at 6am he was very awake. We talked about tanning for kind of a whileish. He said he didn’t think he had ever talked so much about tanning. I don’t think I have ever talked about tanning very much. For lunch we had Subway again. It’s a good thing I like it because we eat there a lot. One of the girls working there thought I was his daughter. That would be the fifth time someone has thought I was an officers daughter. Ha. I made him feel old I think. Oops. I talked about one thing I never thought I would talk about with a police officer or with someone at a place where I am doing an internship at. It was kind of odd. It was only like a 1 minute talk, but it was still kind of odd. I didn’t really think about it until later, but it was kind of weird to talk about at an internship.

Officer 2: He stopped someone for something and I got to write out the warning. He wrote someone a ticket because of thier license plate.

Officer 3: Went to a house because people kept calling them from the county jail. Apparently people in jails do that a lot. They will call random numbers and try to get people to answer.

Police Internship Day 6

• First day after my haircut. Was able to fix it and make it look good.
• Got there right at 9.
• Went to a few places with Detective U. Saw him be all detectivey at those few places.
• Went to lunch with a few people. Was told by DU that he was surprised I wasn’t pickier or something and was like actually eating more than he thought I would (?).  I don’t know what he meant exactly, but maybe something about me being quiet/shy/girl(not eating or whatever in front of guys.) Umm…. I kind of like food and would never diet and don’t really care who i’m eating in front of. Also, girls who don’t like eating in front of boys are wierd.
• Talked about music with DU. He thinks I have crap taste in music. What-ev Jonas Brothers are the greatest! I didn’t actually tell him I like the Jonas Brothers. I did tell him I went to a Jessica Simpson concert. I’m thinking that I will stick to telling anyone there that I like country music and not Britney Spears/Miley Cyrus/Other stuff that they probably think is the worst stuff ever.
• During the talk about music I was once again asked what year I was born. (Answer: 1987) After I told him that he said something about the song that we were listening to being from like fiveish years before I was born. Umm… Most of the music we listened to seemed to be. I think the newest song I heard was from like 1997.
• Also, I agree that Kanye West the person annoying, but his music entertaining, fun, danceable.
• I might actually get to see the entire process of a thing from start to finish.
• I might be getting a badge thing tomorrow.
• Walked home. It was super nice outside.

Police Department Internship Day 2

• Hung out with Dispatchers for a little bit. (Oh. Emm. Gee. It was someone not male. It was a SHE!)
• Went to shooting range with Dare officer K.
• While driving around to the different places we were listening to satellite radio. DOK (dare officer k) kept asking me who sang the songs that were playing. I recognized about none of them. Most of them were like way old though. Apparently I need to learn good music. Each time though I would look at who was singing and I at least heard of the person/bands. Also, the songs that were playing were probably like the least popular song that the band/person wrote. Two of the people I did know were Taylor Swift and Keith Urban. (Yay! for not super old music.)
• DOK asked me what type of music I liked. My thoughts went like this: Britney Spears? Don’t say her I will get told I have horrible taste. Miley Cyrus? Don’t say her I wil be told something about horrible taste, Jonas Brothers? Oh Gawdddd I probably have closer taste to the middle schoolers he was teaching than whatever he considers good. Meg & Dia? They seem safe. I said them. He has never heard of them. & he claims to have good taste in music? What-Ev.
• Also, apparently if you say poppyish it can sound like poppyfish. I don’t know what poppy fish is, but I kind of like the word now. Is there a fish called poppy fish? I should google that. Meh. Maybe not. Don’t really feel like it.
• Ate some Subway.
• A song came on in Subway and he asked who sang it. It sounded familiar and I couldn’t think of his name. He started describing him and I still couldn’t remember his name. I said I knew what he looked like, but I couldn’t remember his name. I described him & I finally remembered. ELVIS! Yup. I forgot about ELVIS! kind of. (Not sure why, but I kind of like spelling his name like that. ELVIS! Ha. Probably not interesting to anyone but me.)
• Went to the high school and an elementary school to talk to people. Was slightly embarrased at the elementary school. Officer told me that I had to tell a joke to a stranger. I told him I couldn’t think of one. The truth was that I thought of one,  but the only one I could think of was one I read on the internet about viagra. I didn’t really want to tell that to a stranger or DOK.
• Heard a song by Taylor Swift. I think it was Love Story,  but I can’t remember. I think it is better to listen to music that I don’t know, because I usually sing when i’m listening to music and that would have been kind of wierd..
• Went To Kahler Middle School with Dare officer.
• Saw something that I don’t think i’m allowed to talk about. It was kind of totally awesome.
• Played wiffleball with Dare officer and 7th graders.
• Received a blue jolly rancher from a student. Ate it. It was blue. Realized my toungue might be blue. No one said anything. Yay for it just being a blue tongue and not my lips.
• At the end of the day I didn’t seem to get sunburned I thought.
• Got home. Looked in mirror. Nose and chest both sunburned. Nose more. I’m like rudolpoh.
• Realized that some of the stuff in this internship kind of reminds me of middle school. In middle school some of the guys on my bus when they sat next to me or in the seat in front or behind me would make comments about how I talk so much and need to quit talking. Apparently regardless of age certain jokes about quiet people need to be made. I’m pretty sure the middle schoolers and the people today said the exact same thing.
• Based on these last two days I definately need to get over this whole quiet thing. Either that or continue to feel slightly awkward around people. Regardless though I probably will.
