So I am a college girl. It's exciting! I am having my graduation party pretty soon, like 2 months before graduation, but seeing as how graduation day is also my birthday I want to have 2 separate parties, you know because I am a party animal. Speaking of parties, I went to LVC's last night. We had alot of fun and everyone looked fantastic! I feel way understressed about school, since HOA is over and the next big thing are Eng Orals,and I love Eng Orals, so no problem right? I am also excited about my TOK presentaion. It should be interesting. This summer I am going to Vermont and Maine for my cousin's wedding and then Santa Fe and the Grand Canyon...of course! I know Jake is going for sure, but I don't know who else has an open schedual and actually wants to go, because it is no walk in the park.
I went to the mall a few days ago and I went into a store. I picked out a bunch of stuff and went to see what it would cost, with all the sales and stuff. and my friend was working. He rang it up and it totalled $60. Then I asked if he did all the sales and he looked at me and said no. Then my total was $30. Later he was talking to me and he said he gave me an additional 50% off! So I got sweet pants for like $10. I saved $80!
I am really satisfied with my life right now. Very little could make it any better. I have so much to be thankful for!

Does Literature tell the truth better than other Arts or Areas of Knowledge? The real question is do I care? And the correct answer is NO! This is the hardest paper I have ever tried to write. Key word: TRIED. because it is not pretty. I want to go outside. I want to go kayaking and lay out and fall asleep in the sun. or go for a run or long walk. but instead I am racking my brain trying to solve the question of truth. Which is impossible, right? Like literally isn't it impossible?
Friday night I did the Stars of Tomorrow Comepetition. I did't win, but the lady said I did well in the competion. Alex, Crystal, and April got the top spots. I am happy those were the winners because they are all friends and I like them and they deserved it. not that the other contestants...like me didn't. but they did. I am just glad I don't have to sing at Cultural Park today for the final show. but the money would have been nice.
I have kind of run out of money becuase I pay for my voice lessons, so I am worried about Christmas presents this year. Maybe someone will die or get married and I will sing and get quick money, but it's not likely. I thought it would be cool to instead of giving presents to people who don't need anything, to give however much money I would have spent to organizations, like this Lifeline group. But I don't think that will happen this year with my budget.
Well I should stop procrastinating and write my paper........wish me luck!

| My 1st Orgasm |
[24 Nov 2006|05:20am] |
So I had an orgasm today...lol I mean a massage!!! omg, the guy who gave it to be was really hairy and ugly (it wasn't the hot guy I imagined, lol) but he was amazing. A requirement for all my future boyfriends: you have to be a massage therapist or know how to give massages and as my gift to you I will be naked. haha it is kind of ackward to have some guy's hands, who you have known for 5 minutes, squeezing your ass and inner thigh. but to tell you the truth I didn't want him to stop. I recommend it to everyone.
So my parents are putting our Christmas "tree" up. I think it is too early, so I am not in the Chirstmas mood and I am not helping. I know I will have a tree when I have my own place and when I have kids, but as of now I don't see the point, especially because it is a fake tree. My sister used to do it and didn't want my help, so maybe that is why I don't like doing it. I'll support from the sidelines, anyways they are almost done.
I want to go out tonight, but seriously is there anything to do? I think not. yeah there are some movies I want to see, but the weather is too perfect to be inside. I want a bonfire, but out little fireplace broke in a storm and we haven't gotten another one. I want to look at the stars with a roaring fire nearby and roast marshmellows, which I have. If any body has good hang out spots or ideas, let me know.

| Happy Thanksgiving! |
[22 Nov 2006|09:34pm] |
It's Thanksgiving. We skipped school yesterday. That was fun. I was disappointed that mckenzie and her friends left for lunch and didn't come back until jake and i were tired of hanging out with the other kids and decided to leave. The kids that jake played ultimate with were obnoxious and the girls that were watching were too. I like most of them ( the IB kids), not to be prejudice, but the other kids are just obnoxious and they think they are incredible special. Also, they were doing some thing that I don't really approve of and other kids also were grossed out. I wasn't looking forwarc to seeing those kids. The people I wanted to see were not there or were there and left. Luke also left because his dad had stuff for him to do. The weather is so gorgeous like it has been for a while. I am excited because I get to make Apple Pie and some bread. I am watching the Macy's Day parade and I wish I could be in NY. Not for the parade but because I miss NY. We had so much fun on that trip. I wish we could go again, but with select people this time.
I hope everyone has a great day and rest of their break.

So we had one act auditions today and I royally screwed myself over. I wish I had actually auditioned instead of just reading and listening to the other person auditioning. After I didn't get a part in the musical I was like well at least I have the one act, but i don't know how well that is looking right now. Everyone who auditioned did really well, especially the boys. i wish less girls had auditioned though because then i would get a part fo so. whinning, whinning, i know. maybe the deliberations aren't over yet and i still have a chance. i hope so.
I wish we could wear pjs to school all the time. i wish. i love sweatshirts and pj pants and socks, so comfortable and prepared. you are always prepared for bed and just chilling. it's nice. oo and we should have better desks. I know kids all around the world have to sit on dusty floors in stead of fancy desks, but while I am wishing for stuff I wish for all my classes to have chairs like my compture chair or couches. yeah couches oo and coffee machines. i like my imaginary comfortable school. we wouldn't get much done, but hey we would be comfortable. speaking of comfortable i am going to go crawl under my 3 blankets on my bed and sleep until my obnoxious cell phone wakes me up tomorrow at 5:30 am, so i live another day that is going to be the same as yesterday and the next day. School is such a blurr. Life is a blurr with only a handful of clear moments, called memories. god, i am so damn philosophical. haha"....NOT"-Borat (what a terrible movie). oo speaking of movies...JAMES BOND...yum! I think I will watch that sometime soon, but not this weekend because i have kayley's soccer game at North on fri. April's musical at Verot on saturday and whatever else gets thrown at me on sunday. Then it will be thanksgiving. I really hurt my foot today at lunch. It didn't hurt then but now it kills alot. I think there will be a huge bruise to match my now black toe... sexy, i know.

I am swamped with homework! Well at least I had some fun this weekend thanks to Kelly and Jake (surprisingly) and the NHS yard sale. I made some money like I said I would and now I have to spend some money because I got in a car crash. Well it was more a hit and miss (according to my dad), I mean a hit and run. They hit my passenger side and then took the heck off. Luckily there was a deputy nearby and so he filled out an accident report, but we didn't get the other driver's info, so I get to pay for the damage. It isn't too bad, but it is something. And then today my dad's car battery died, so he is driving my car.
I am happy with "The Wiz" casting. I think all the boys will be perfect and I don't know all the girls, but I trust Riis and Moorehead's desicions. I am glad I am at least in the ensemble and dancers because that is a little more than what I was last year. Maybe it is good I didn't get a principle because that means more time for homework, but it would have been nice. The music isn't my "style", and other people do it way better so they deserve it. No hard feelings at all, which also makes me happy (that I have handled this all well and I am a senior).
Apologies are nice, but actions speak louder than words and some actions can't be erased. Not just the obvious actions, all of them. Forgiving is easy, but forgetting is hard. I am working on both right now.
I find out about UF in a month!!!! ooo and Christmas break is in a little more than a month! freedom! I want someone to have a big bonfire so we can make s'mores when it is chilly at night. I love bonfires!
Time for church! Adios.

| life is lived in between dreams |
[08 Nov 2006|05:34pm] |
We had dance try-outs today. It went by fast because it was a short dance, I guess. I like Ms. Jamie, she seems competant, but I do miss Mrs. Minott. I liked the dance and I think I learned it pretty well, I guess I will see how well I really did on Friday! Good luck to all. Even though I didn't get a call back and I happy with those that did and I know that they all deserve it. I was happy to also see some new names because I think it is important that the musical includes people outside of the music department, so others have a chance to show their talent. I wish people could have the mentality that they are NOT better than everyone else and that everyone has a fair chance. I know I don't always think that way and I definitely know others don't too. I hope I get a part of some sort!
Life has been going pretty well. It is really nice to talk to people I haven't seen for a while like Mck and Nina especially. I have been busy with homework, lol just like everyone else. Who said Senior year is easier than Junior year? I think they were mistaken. I don't remember exactly how Junior year was, but Senior in IB is not easy by any means. I feel like I am just floating through life. Just doing what I have to do to get by. Taking it day by day right? All that matters to me right now is keeping all my A's, getting a 1270 on my SAT, a 28 on my ACT, and then getting accepted to UF!
I can't wait to grow up. I want to live in my own house/apartment and be able to have my own rules and routines. Go shopping and buying all my furniture and painting the walls and making it mine. I want to be grown up and have responsibilities and a job. I am so jealous of people who are grown up, not old people though. I want to go to parties, classes, work, the gym, and just OUT to meet mature, interesting people. I loved hanging out at Starbucks with Kay and Andres and just talking to everyone. It was fun and we felt grown up.
I also really want to live in Europe for a while. Probably Italy or Spain, like for a couple of years. Whenever I go to Florence it is not for long enough and I am still getting over my jet lag and getting used to the city before I can really enjoy myself and then it is time to go.
I wonder what I am going to do next summer? I am thinking Grand Canyon because I already have people asking to go. But now I also want to go to Spain or Mexico so so bad. I want culture. We will definitely go back to Vermont because the house is almost done, so that will be fun. Maybe this time I will hang out with my 2nd cousin, Ryan, and meet some of his friends and other people in Montpelier.
I seem to be all about meeting new people, huh? I guess I realized there are alot of people in the world and I should meet some of them. I enjoyed being exclusive, but I guess I really missed out or maybe I didn't. Maybe being single has just made me realize that there alot of people out their who definitely have potential and that others will appreciate me. I guess that is one reason I want to go to UF. Lots of new people interested in meeting new people!
I like feeling accomplished. It is a really good feeling. Like I vacuumed my car today, that is an accomplishment. I did well in my dance autditions. I have a 100 in Calculus. I turned in my completed World Lit. Paper. My body looks better than I think it ever has. I am singing at a wedding on Friday, making the big bucks! My parents are proud of me. Overall I feel accomplished and happy with my life. I am not trying to rub anything in, but I am just surprised at how good almost everything is going. Being happy is way better than complaining. I wanted to be content and happy and wanting that made be just that. You HAVE to want it, I guess. Life is good. No regretts.
I can't believe how fast this year is going by. I feel like I am on a train and I am just wizzing by everything around me. I mean I want to grow up but I also can't believe that it is almost Christmas and then we will only have one semester until graduation. My b-day is on graduation. What should I do to celebrate?
What color should I paint my room? hmm... I am thinking light pink or ooo cocoa brown. yummy. its a big decision. I really want to change my room.
Lost is on tonight, lol I am such a freaking junkie. "Lost" and "Grey's Anatomy".... (more "Grey's" though) I love them!!!
Anyways, I love music. I need some new CD's, especially The Fray's new CD and Incubus's "Megalomaniac", and Snow Mobile's CD with the "Chasing Cars" song. There is such good music out there that I need to get my hands on, lol but I am cheap. I need to learn how to download music. I had a revelation yesterday that may only be appreciated if you listen to Jack Johnson (his "In Between Dreams" CD), but I thought it was a cool thought: ~LIFE is lived in between dreams.

Friday Kelly, Amanda, and I volunteered in North Fort Myers for this Halloween Festival for the Parks and Rec kids. I earned like 4 hours so I only need 4 more CAS hours!! Then Kelly, Regina, and I went to the football game. It was alot of fun, but we stood the whole time and now my ankle hurts again. There were a ton of people, which was really good and annoying because there were no seats and the announcer could not be heard. I will admit I know nothing about football, but I do know that Noel Divine is really good. I watched him (whenever I could see the football players because the cheerleaders were right in front of us the entire time) because he was the only person whose number I knew, and he was really fast and almost uncatchable. Our guys played really well though, it seems like this has been a hard year for them but they are definitely trying.
Saturday I got new tires for my car (that is expensive!) then went to work. I need to learn how to read music. I think I am going to take lessons from this guy and hopefully I will get better. I never realized how immature teenagers can be before this weekend. I know I can be immature but it is just because I am having fun or because I am naive, but omg some other people just ARE immature, like they can't help themselves. Then after work I went to Starbucks and bought Andres's giftcard. This was one of the first times a really good looking guy has tastefully hit on me. It was nice. He offered to buy me a drink, but of course I thought he was kidding and I didn't want to take his money so I asked for water. O well! Then I drove (and successfully got lost) to Kayley's. We all got dressed and undressed and dressed again. Then Kayley, Tyler,Courtney, and I (me driving) went to Chik-Fil-A and picked up the food. Then once again went to the Starbucks and the same guy, Craig, was working there. Kayley bought her thing and we finally headed to Andres's beautiful new house. There were alot of people there, all looking fabulous. I kind of danced. I liked dancing with Andres, he can move and I feel so comfortable with him. We ate, listened to music, and continued the attempt at dancing. Andres threw a great party, but people were definitely ruining it and completely lost focus on the fact that it was ANDRES'S 18th Birthday Party and not their drama/sob fest. Girls are soo dramatic and catty and backstabbing and annoying. Why do boys even bother. So that was really a low point of the party and made me want to leave repeatedly. I kept hoping it would get better, but people just continued to get crazier. I wanted to stay because everyone who was at Andres's Homecoming party had alot of fun and I thought this party would be really fun, but it was just annoying (not because of Andres, but because of the people there who are unable to be civil and normal for one night) I knew I needed to go home so I was well rested for church and homework. Also, I didn't want to be there when people were doing things that would make me uncomfortable and inevitably upset. So I left due to my good judgment. I don't know if anything happened that would have upset me, but I am glad I didn't stay to find out. I can only take so much of certain, over-the-top individuals and I know an entire night with the unnamed few would have drove me crazy and I wouldn't have enjoyed myself at all. I feel bad ditching Kayley because I talked to her later that night and she seemed disappointed, but there wasn't anything I could do. I also feel bad about Michel. I love the kid because he makes me laugh, but sometimes his jokes go too far and I can't tell the truth from the joke. I end up not knowing how to respond. I was so happy to see Sierra. She is so sweet and fun to talk to. I was dancing with her and I was like "Sierra teach me how to dance" and so we were dancing and then Andres comes up and starts grinding on me and so then I was dancing with Andres and Sierra was like "No, haha, that's what you shouldn't do". I wasn't especially close to her when she was at FMHS, but now whenever I see her we talk for a while, its nice. So after that party I went home, ate a slice of pizza (for all those who think I am anorexic, I do eat), watched SNL, and then fell asleep.
Sunday: Woke up to my niece kissing me on the forehead. Got ready for church and then my mom and I realized we still had an hour because of Day Light Savings. So I started working on my World Lit. Paper. Went to church, then continued my paper. It is a slow process because I have to read 2 books to get an idea of how I am going to organize the paper and what quotes I will use.
I am still waiting for my SAT scores. and in about a month my fate will be reveiled, I will know if I am going to UF!!!!!
Time to go....more homework!

Well. The SW show was good today. I am so proud of the new people, from what I see they are catching on and doing well. I really want to sit out and watch a show or maybe someone's mom can record a show for us so I can watch everybody. This year SW is definitely not the think I look forward to, but I will miss it alot. It is SO weird to be a senior. All my life I have looked forward to this. I remeber when my sister was a senior and I thought it was the biggest deal ever, but to me it really isn't. One more stepping stone in life and one more thing we have to do. I mean I like school, but being a senior isn't as fantastic as I hoped it would be. Its funny, you get so excited about stuff and then when it actually happens it isn't what you expected. I like having a convinent parking spot, TOK, our sweet hoodies, being able to sneak off campus if you want, and being able to negotiate with teachers. It has its perks.
I am counting down the days until I find out about UF. If I don't get in I will be so bummed. so bummed. I was thinking about it yesterday as I made the long drive to matlacha: I totally could of lied on my entire UF application. I could of said I was the SGA president, on Varsity soccer, and tons of stuff. Why didn't I lie? They are not going to check. I guess lying isn't my thing, I always feel way to guilty, but most people lie and get away with it and then are better off, like they get into UF or whatever the situation is. That brings me to another topic, I hate liars!!! Because I don't lie, I mean I have lied before in my life, but at this point I have NO reason to. I hate that people can lie and get away with it. Why can't everyone play by the rules. I guess life really isn't fair. It should be though, I wish it was. It sucks when you are a "good girl", but in the end it gets u no where. I try so hard to be good, but I get no credit for it. And then if I play someone else's game I get called out for it and called a bitch, which I resent. blah, blah, blah....
I want to move to the bahamas, like in "Into the Blue". I want to live there and be a treasure hunter, lol. I love the water. I hope I go there again some point in my life.
There are so many things people want to do in their lives and its like they never get around to it or they forget about it. There are so many places I want to go and things I want to see and do, but 1. I am only 17. 2. I don't have oodles of money...yet 3. I have so many other things I have to get through before I go on adventures. Hopefully I won't forget my dreams and that I will always be having more dreams and I will live them. I want to go to Madagascar, Greece, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, the Iberian Penisula, Norway, Alaska, Bali, Bora Bora, Australia, and so many more places. They all seem to be on the water. I think I will always have to live on the water otherwise I feel kind of trapped and the world seems over-developed. I could never live in a city, it is too overwhelming. I always feel depressed, like in Florence. I can go to cities, but only for a little while.
I rented Naco Libre!!! I am soo excited to watch it. It is so funny.
Big game on Friday and big party in Saturday. I hope both are fun.
World Lit. paper due next Thursday!
I am so happy, I decided which question to write on for TOK, #5, the one about Literature. It seems easy, but I think it is a good one to investigate too.
I have really not had any homework this week. I know I could be working on stuff, but nothing is due, like tomorrow.
Time to go for the daily walk...

Well this weekend was crazy. I think I allowed it to get crazy so I could be distracted the ENTIRE time. Which almost worked out. But crazyness has a price, gastridous. I almost got stomach ulcers from the business, from the shit that has been going on basically since summer, starting with my parents, and from constantly drinking acidic grapefruit juice, which surprisingly I still ravenously consume.
Weekend Recap:
Friday: Jake's for like 1 hour because we skipped the pep rally and I was hungry, but when I got to his house I didn't feel like eating, I just felt sick. He fell asleep (what a good friend) and I left...eventually. (I don't even understand why I went to Jake's. Girls can be so dumb and hopeful, but maybe boys are even more dumb. It is questionable.) Went home and then went to the Nabbie's show at like 5pm. Got all ready and performed at 7:30. I was dead tired and the show went on forever, so I got home at like 11pm.
Saturday:
Damn freakin SAT! I pray to God that I NEVER in my entire life have to take that test. I think I did good, but I always think that and I never actually do good. There were tons of kids there and I had Hassel as my proctor, so it wasn't as bad as it normally is. Then I had lunch at Jason's w/ my daddy and then sang at church for one mass. Then again I had my Nabbie's show. A bunch of us got there an hour early so we went for subs and went to an antique store, it was interesting to say the least. Then we had our show. A bunch of people went, so that was cool. Then after like 10 of us went to Applebee's and were there for a few hours. The food was terrible, but the company was good and so was my drink. lol. Jeremy was the funniest, queerist kid ever. so so funny, but he didnt mean to be. Carla! stankity, stank! so funny and honest (big surprise). The Brittany's, so sweet and fun to talk to. I like Sean-David alot more in that setting. And everyone else made the experience alot of fun and well worth the time and energy and C on my History test! (lol not so much that) Then I drove home and crashed.
Sunday:
Church as usual. Then to my aunt Betsy's were all my local family and my uncle from Boston were. We ate and went on my uncle's boat for crabs and went swimming. My uncle plays the guitar really well so there was good music. Then I went home, showered, and went out with Kayley and Courtney to see "Man of the Year". Good movie, I recomend it. Then we went everywhere for food, but stuff wasn't open because it was a Sunday night, so we went through Taco Bell and ate in K's car. There was a bum nearby and Courtney was totally freaked. I wanted to give him a burrito, but they wouldn't let me. I feel bad for bums, but this guy was smoking, so I didn't feel as bad.
Monday:
Well everyone like copped out on me except for my reliable Kelly. I weeded for a while then Kel showed up and we went in the pool for hours talking about stupid reltionship stuff. And realized that all relationships end the same...it's disappointing, but what the hell can I do. Then we walked Matlacha and she took pics for photo. Then she left, I ate, went for a walk with the fam, and did homework.
It was a good weekend. I am starting to feel better, but at the same time worse. There are so many things I want to say, but I don't know how, I know I can't, or I am afraid to. God, I am so torn, like right down the middle! Part of me wants to start screaming in anger and the other part wants to curl up. I am way better though. lol I am totally distracted and that seems to be so important and helpful. Keeps my mind busy and then at night I am too tired to think and I just fall asleep. The main problem is this damn CD, which I have totally fallen in love with, but it is so so so depressing, yet so refreshing. It's James Blunt's "Back to Bedlahm". If James Blunt was my boyfriend I would never leave him. Whoever the girl is that broke his heart probably feels so shitty because now she knows exctly how he feels.
I can't wait for college. I will is my cat, Mica, my dogs, Sophia, my cousins, my sister, and mostly my parents. But I need a change of scenery and people. I need new people soon, not necessarily guys, but interesting people who are not petty (I know I can be)and who are worldly and know what the fuck is going on outside of FM. People who actually care about school. I want to live on a campus where there are always fun things to do and new people to meet. I love communities. I can not wait to hear from UF, be it good or bad I need to know soon. Hopefully I will find out in a month or so and then I will get all ready to start my new life. If stuff changed around here I may not be as eager to head out, but by the way it is looking and they way I am feeling I don't think it will. I don't think it EVER will...
Just my fucking luck.

For the last few days I have felt so incredibly confused. I have never felt like this and when I try to explain HOW I feel I get more confused. And I feel hurt, sick, sad. I am starting to feel better but it takes alot of effort and trying to not think about why I am confused. I am just living day to day, doing what feels right, but I often don't know what that is. When did everything get confusing and hard. I miss blissful ignorance of the real world. I miss alot of things. I hope I figure this life thing out and it only gets better. I am thankful for all the good things in my life and all the good things I had in my life, I have NO reason to complain.

You know who I am talking to when I say I am so sorry. Last night was incredibly stupid and... stupid. I was really tired and I get emotional when I am tired and last night my choice emotion was like a serious mix of anger and irritation, as u probably noticed. How freakin' gay, how gay! So today sucked... all of it, not even a really good part was actually good. I am sorry. But the last thing I said was true and I don't just feel that way at night. Well I hope this gets better.

Summer is coming to an end fast. It was pretty good, except that I worked, went on vacations, and did homework the ENTIRE time. And I didn't even finish my homeowrk. I can't wait to get my schedual, I hope I can change my teachers if I don't like who I get. It should be a really good year unless I don't bring up my SAT scores. OMG I had a terrible dream that I got 5 zeros on my last report card because I forgot to turn in my text books. Wow I am surrised I didn;t have a panic attack. I have been working on my UF app. I am almost done. I really hope I get in! Well this is boring.lol. I have to go work! Bye

Beautiful Mistake-Frankie Perez |
] |
Last week was a little hectic.
Aida practice, work, voive lessons, not too much homework....thats all i remember about it.
On Friday night there was a SW performance in No-Fo. It was short and sweet, then we went to Perkins. Which was alright. Saturday I picked up alex tocco and jake and drove down to naples for a competition (Florida Vocal Association). I sang 2 solos and then the judge came on stage and gave me all her critiques. It was so much fun, i really loved the judge, she told u like it is and helped u fix anything. I didn't have an major problems with my song but she showed me how to sing so I would be louder and more powerful. What I got out of it was to open my mouth more and get a new voice teacher. We will see how the latter turns out because #1 how am i going to stop going to my current teacher who I have been with for 8 years and #2 who am I going to go to now. I am really excited though to get a new teacher, i love good change.
Then SW performed and I think we did really good. I felt good. I got to do my flips and lifts and split, ( and so did mck) and the judge liked us pretty much. So the verdict was that SW and I got Superiors!!! So now i can fix the problems in my performance and go to states, when and wherever that may be.
Then Jake and I drove back to FM and sang at church and hung out at his house for an hour and he was supposed to come over but his mom said nope because today they are going to orlando.
There were fireworks in FM and they were cool to see as i went over the bridge.
Tomorrow I get to sing at a funeral! and ake some mulah$$ and then go to Soundwave practice and spread the mulch for biology.
Also jake and I have to finish our psych IA project.
I still don't know what I got on my SATs, and my parents haven't even asked, which is a good thing.
My aunt who lives in CA is having a baby in june so i convinced my mom that we should go to CA for like 3 weeks this summer and so to LA, Santa Barbra, San Diego, and long beach, and then any other place we find. Also, i have to find out when the trip to the Dominican Republic is with jake's church, and we might go to Vermont for a while! I hope it all works out.
Next october SW and the choral department is going to go to NYC to sing at ground zero and SS Intrepid and then go see a show and tours! YAAA back to NY.
Today is such a nice day i think i'll do my homeowrk outside in a bathing suit. sounds nice, but i will probably fall asleep outside.
Happy presidents day

Tell him-Lauren Hill (over and over again in my head) |

HELLO!
I hope everyone had a nice V-day.
I did.
Jake made me a necklace with a shell he found in matlacha and he gave me a little stuffed puppy dog and a kiss.
I don't understand why everyone hates that holiday so much, even when i didn't have a boyfriend I didn't hate it.
So school is way too busy, plus I have work and so many competitions...too much.
I wish it was warm again, i wish it was warm again, i wish it was warm again....then i could go swimming.
I wear pj pants to school and change in my car and i have the heat all the way up and a blanket wrapped around me, i am that cold.
So life is so busy now..yep that is about it.
No drama.
No amazing story.
Just too much life going on all at once that I don't have a life at all. I am so consumed that I only have time to get everything done, sleep, and see jake. those are my prioroities as of now.
I wish I could hang out with friends now, but it just feels that I have been focusing so hard on working hard and then just crashing that I haven't had time to spend with my old friends, and not that is what everyone, minus jake is, an old friend who has new friends and I never see them. I like my old friends but it has been so long since I have spent time with them that everyone seems so different, and I don't feel like I fit. Its ok, it wouldn't be though if i wasn;t so busy and I had time to dwell and mope about my friends, or lack of. I don't feel like a loser by any means because I am social with people at school but when people are talking about their weekends getting drunk at strangers houses and doing crazy (sometimes fun) things, I zone out because I don't have any stories to share. Well I have stories but no one wants to hear what jake and I did over the weekend. I LOVE JAKE and am so elated to have him because we fit. We make time for eachotherm, but if we don't its ok because we know that the other will be there when there is time. I wish I had time for everyone else, but now I just don't really know who everyone else is, I mean if I had absolutely free time I would love to hang out with people but I don't know all their new friends. I guess I should thank God for all my extra junk because it keeps me company. I probably just made it sound like jake is my back up because "i have no friends", sorry thats not true. Jake is my first choice, not backup.
So I am going to go finish my homework so I can ride my bike home, in the dark (ooo scarry) and start on some more homework and then watch LOST.
OMG I am obsessed. what a wonderfully terrible show.
Unpredictable.
I can't wait until we have a few days off from school and nothing due the second we get back...that will never happen.
Good night.
Sleep tight.

I have been working on this computer for months to get it to connect to the internet and finally some technical GOD got it to work!
Life has been pretty good. The highpoint-JAKE. The lowpoint-SCHOOL. So my highpoint and lowpoint seem to of collided and now my grades have significantly decreased. My excuse- classes are harder. Reality- I don't honestly care anymore. This is bad and good all at once because 1. I no longer freak out when I get an F on a test (which actually never happened before) and 2. I don't stay up late working. But overall life is good.
We had auditions for AIDA, (which is old news, but i am behind in the updating)I really liked the dances, but I would think too hard and forget a move, thats probably why I was casted into the ensemble. I am over complaining about it, because I am greatful to of even gotten a role. Jake got a main part, Mareb, and with the way Devon was acting(HOPEFULLY) Jake will get Rademes. But his original part is good too. So either way I am happy for him. Other people got really jipped, but that is the game: favorites and all the other politics.
Also, I am in the Thespians 1 Act. I got a decent party, but all my lines just feel ackward. I need to memorize my lines. Also I need to practice my duet (con Jacobo) and my solo. When the new year starts everything is going to hit me hard, there is going to be alot of stuff going on. Good luck to everyone else who has to do the same stuff as me and more(who I think is only Sean-David because he is doing another competition where we have to memorize 4 songs!! eek)
Last weekend the Choral Dept. went to Epcot and performed. For not knowing the music we did awesome. Everyone probably heard about my little run in with the girl who could only be a lesbian or have a hair fetish! OMG that is a sure way to piss me off.
On monday we had out SW christmas party. it was alot of fun. I LOVE CATCH FRASE! omg I want it for Christmas so bad. The food was good and I love the cd my mysterious secret pal gave me. Jason Mraz is fabulous!
Well I am off to go see Kong, King Kong. My dad is so excited! This should Fan-tastic, my butt kills me after only an hour, how will I survive 3.
I hope everyone has a Happy Haunaka and Happy Merry Christmas (as my uncle from Bahli says)or both!
