2:53 am - Long time
|
Okay, I will admit, I've been neglecting my blurty journal, and I'm sorry!!
To update since January will take up too much space. So, I'll update on
recent happenings.
Last month, Towne East was having a Best New Talent scout from California.
They were doing auditions for people who wanted to go to CA to have a chance
to be seen by top executives in the entertainment industry. So, I took the oppurtunity
and went. I sang three songs: Don't Let Me Get Me; Amazing Grace; and Part of Your World.
I had also signed up to do an audition for acting, so the lady handed me a paper with a list of
make-shift commercials for certain age groups. I did one from my age group and the lady gave
me some information to read over and told me to come back the next day for a call back. I was
ecstatic! I went to Hot Topic to tell some of my friends that work there the good news. They told
me good luck and they hoped I made it.
So the next day, Sunday, I went to the Airport Hilton for my call back. I had to sing 3 songs again.
So I sang: Beautiful; Once Upon a December; and Amazing Grace. For the acting part, I did a cutting
from my Serious Solo and a Comedic piece that I had received earlier to perform. After I was finished,
the lady that had seen my audition the day before took me into a conference room off to the side and told
me "Congratulations. You made it on to the next stage." I was so excited to hear that! I made it to LA to
be seen by top executives! I made it in all the fields I auditioned for too! Dramatic and Comedic acting and Contemporary singing! Unfortunately, the trip would cost me $850 for an entry fee alone, not including air-
fare to get to CA and hotel expenses and all that good junk. So, I am glad that I had the oppurtunity to find
out that I CAN make it in the industry if I could afford it. So, maybe next year, if they go back to Wichita, I
can do it again and actually be able to go to LA. :)
*new subject*
I'm an in-betweener now!! I've finally graduated from high school. Right now, I'm working full time at Norwich Care Center as a Certified Nurse's Aide. I'll be working there until the middle of July, then it's off to Ottawa, KS where I'll be attending Ottawa University majoring in Music and Fine Arts. That'll be tons-o-fun. Plus, I'll get to see Andrea and Cody more often in Lawrence. :D
*'nother new subject*
Amelie is going to be leaving our happy family in exactly 8 days. I know she's counting down. She can't wait to get home. But she told me that it's going to feel so weird going back because she's gotten so used to all of the things that we do here. But I know she's going to be so happy to finally be back home with her family and friends. It's funny, she feels like a real sister to me. Almost like I've known her all our lives. I'm glad she came to live with us. It was a delightful experience. We've promised to keep in touch and write. So, on my first day of college, I'm going to send her a postcard. It'll be neat. I'm going to be a little sad though. The rest of my summer is going to be empty. Who will I talk to while my mom's at work? I won't have a good reason to blow gas just to hang out at the mall. And now I'll have to go back to arguing with the walls. Oh well, it shouldn't be too hard to settle back down into my old routine.
But, that's about it. My life has been pretty boring otherwise.

8:53 pm - So Many Colleges to Choose from
|
I have a lot of colleges to choose from now. I'm not so sure about
this DeVry thing anymore. And I really like how it looks. Oh well, we'll
just have to see I guess. I wish college was free in America like it
is in Germany. That'd rock! Anyway, I'm going to go for now. I have to
memorize my serious solo for forensics.
One night, when I was 12 years old, my father decided to decorate the house for Christmas. He’d never done it before, but this year he had just gotten a raise at work, and I guess he wanted to show off to the rest of the neighborhood. So about a week before Christmas, dad went out and bought up all of the lights and decorations he could find. It had all been pretty much picked over by then, there wasn't much left, but he still got a lot. One store owner was so glad to get rid of everything so close to Christmas, that he threw in an old mannequin and Santa costume that had been cluttering up his store room. Dad brought it home and built his whole display around it.
(Pause---smiles at thought of it)
We didn’t have a big brick chimney like you see in books and movies, so instead of that, he put Santa on the roof of the porch, peering into the window of my parents’ bedroom. Around all of the windows, he put red lights, green lights around the edge of the roof, and combinations of the two all criss-crossed up and down in all of the bushes and trees---it was beautiful.
I remember it was really cold that year, so he did all of this with these great big boots and gloves---a huge coat that he had just bought with the money from his raise, and I couldn’t imagine how, with all of those heavy clothes on, he could climb up that ladder and hang all those lights, but he did. He hung all of them, and in between each string, he would come down the ladder, pick me up off of the ground, spin me around, and sit me up on his shoulders to get a better look.
It took almost a week to finish it, to get it just the way he wanted, but when he finally lit it up, the whole town came out to see it. Everyone! Cars driving around the block over and over again just to look at our house. I was so happy. I was sure that this was going to be the best Christmas in the history of Christmases; living in this---cocoon of color and light, with the rest of the world lining up outside to admire it.
On Christmas Eve, dad went downtown to this bar that he used to hang out in. He liked to spend Christmas Eve with his buddies, because, on Christmas, all the aunts and uncles would be over, and I guess being hung-over gave him an excuse not to be a good host.
(Small Pause) So, anyway, by the time he got home, it was way past midnight, mom and I were in bed, and mom had turned out the Christmas lights for the night---she couldn’t sleep when they were on because they would shine through her window---so the only light was from the street light at the end of the block, and, I guess, in the darkness, after drinking all night, dad forgot about the Santa mannequin---mistook it for a burglar or something, because i woke up to hear shouting out on the lawn---gunshots---breaking glass.
I ran into Mom and Dad’s room, because I didn’t know what was happening, but they weren’t in bed. And it was cold, like someone had left the window open, so I looked---and there was my mother, just lying on the floor, in the middle of all of this shattered glass and blood. She must have been standing at the window when---
(Pause---Daphne is staring into space---reliving the story as she tells it)
---and I just stood there---I couldn’t move. I couldn’t say anything. I was still half asleep. It was like a dream. But then I heard the front door open, and footsteps running up the stairs. I was terrified. I thought that whoever had been shouting out on the lawn must be coming to get me now, and I couldn’t hide. there was no place to hide, and the only thing I could do was lay down beside my mother and play dead. i thought whoever it was wouldn’t hurt me if they thought I was already dead. So, when Dad got to the door of the bedroom, he saw me and my mother and all that blood, and---he said---something---it didn’t register at first, I was so scared, and concentrating so hard on not moving---and then he stumbled backwards out of the room, and I heard him crying and saying, “no, no, no”---over and over again “no, no---”
(Pause) and I recognized his voice. I realized it was Dad. But before I could say anything, there was another gunshot.
(Pause) And then he wasn’t crying anymore------
That's my solo..so off I go! :D

9:36 am - New Semester
|
Today is the kick off for a new semester. I'm in my first hour
class right now. (Internet / Webpage Design) So far, it's going
pretty good for me today. Since it's only 9:36, that's a good
thing. I have IMP III next hour. I'm not too happy about having to
take that and IMP I over again, but if I stick to it and bite the
bullet, I'll pass with flying colors.
Justin Sutherland is back this year. He moved back from Wichita. It's
good to have him back. Some people think that he's weird, but I like him.
He was my prom date last year, I have to like him! lol
My mouth hurts.
Anyway, I'll type more later.
Don't forget to dance with those bananas!! (or donuts..whichever you prefer)

12:25 pm - Dancing with Ecuadorian Bananas
|
Has anyone ever thought of what it would be like to dance
with an Ecuadorian Banana? I bet you haven't. But if you
would like to know, just go down to Ecuador and find a BIG
banana, then get some music going and DANCE! Dance like you
never danced before! Dip it, twirl it, and just go all off!!
After you perform your banana dancing feat PUBLICALLY, go find
an Ecuadorian Cheese Puff. When you find that Cheesepuff, say
the all famous Cartman thing and go: "I WANT MY CHEESY PUFFS!"
Then eat it! :D But don't get too happy and eat the banana. For
if you do that, you won't have a dance partner any more. Then, you
will be sad. So remember, dance with the bananas and eat the
Cheesy Puffs!! :D
Love Lots!

9:55 am - Last Day of School
|
Today is the last day of school. We are having shorter class periods
because of plans to watch a movie and have the chance to win prizes.
I'm in Current Events right now. We have to type up papers on History
of People's Rights in America. I'm doing mine on Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Obviously I'm quite bored, or I wouldn't be writing. So, I'm going to
go now. I'll type more later.
XOXO,

Yesterday I got an email from Snow. She thought that
it'd be best if we cut it off for a while. It didn't
feel like a real relationship to her since we were so
far apart and doing the internet thing. I agreed to
break it off. But we both decided to try it again
after everything settled so we could actually date.
I feel different. After reading that email from her,
I feel empty inside. I guess I'll get over it. So,
for now, I'm single.

10:08 am - Today
|
Today is Wednesday. For some reason I'm not in the greatest of
moods. My mind is just blank. I want to be happy cheery, but I'm not.
I don't know if it's because I haven't been able to talk to my baby, or
if it's just because I'm being weird again. But it's kinda pissin' me off.
My mom pretty much has to start an argument with me almost every
other day. I think it's because of me. Ever since the one day she asked
me if I liked Lindsey C., it's been constant arguments. And that was 6 years
ago. Oh well, at least this is the last year I have to put up with it. Then,
I can be on my way out of here. If she wants to keep in touch with me,
then so be it. But if she wants to have nothing to do with me and my
life with Snow, then so be it also. I love my mom, don't get me wrong.
But if she can't deal with the fact that I love Snow, then I can't stay near
her any longer.
Well, now I'm all angry. So I'm done.

 You Do It Like a Gay GirlEven if you're not a girl's girl, you act like one. You tend to form deep, long lasting loves… And after you've gazed into one another's souls The battery operated sex follows! Straight or Gay? Guy or Girl? Who Do You Do it Like?
There is no boyfriend in your future, but there is a GIRLFRIEND.
Yes, you worship at the altar of Lesbos. Lucky we live in America, where
we enjoy freedom of religion.
Men don't really interest you and it's no big deal. There will always be
a steady supply of like-minded, same-sex lovelies to add to your collection.
And if not, there’s also a steady supply of gorgeous straight girls who want
to "experiment."
Ahh, America. Gotta love her. For you, it is indeed the Land of Opportunity.

Today is Friday. It's a good day for me. The football game is out of town, so I don't think I'm going to be able to go. I think I'll just stay home and watch some movies that my mom's friend Sylvia lent to us. There has to be at least 50 DVDs! I still have to work on my art project though. It's taking me forever to get done. Oh well, hopefully I'll get it done before Monday. Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Hot Topic with my grandma. She's going to buy me some stuff for the Homecoming week's events. Monday is Rock Star Day, so I'm going to get some punk/goth/rock star stuff. I might even get a bright blue wig. ^_^!
Trevor and I worked on a drawing yesterday in Government. It was quite fun to do! I had a picture of Snow in my sketch book, Trevor took it and started to draw her. I told him to "modify" it and he did. We made her look dominatrix! I can't wait to show her! Haha. Hopefully she'll like it.
Anywho, I'll update some more later.
Hasta Luego!!!

12:26 pm - Stuff
|
Yesterday was Monday. It was 4 months to the day that
Snow and I have been girlfriends. So all day yesterday I
was in a chipper kind of mood. Some people looked at me
like I'm weird, but I knew why I was happy and no one
would have been able to change that. Later in the day though,
I was getting a migraine. I went home after school and laid
down on the couch. My grandma called me around 4:30ish
to ask what we had planned on for supper. I told her beef
strogenoff. I went over around 5:45 to help her fix it. Then,
at 7:30, I had to go to play practice. It was pretty fun. My
migraine went away! So that was a plus. Then I went home and
watched the Original Latin Kings of Comedy on Showtime. That
just raised my spirits even more! I could actually understand what
they were saying when they said stuff in Spanish! Go me!
Anywho, my mom knows about Snow now. It kind of made me
mad that she wouldn't just wait for me to tell her myself. But
oh well. She's always been that way. At least she didn't kick
me out of the house. I just hope she'll come to the realization
that I love Snow and it will always be that way, no matter what
my mom tries to do.
I'm going to close now.
I LOVE YOU SNOW!!! :)
Peace,

10:41 am - How Great Sarah Is..
|
According to Sarah herself, she is the GREATEST because
she goes running at 5:45 am. She's also learning how to play
the guitar. Last night she stroked it forever just so she could
form a callus on her fingers so it would sound good. And she
knows how to play Green Sleeves! ^_^ Her cousin Michael
likes Amelie. I think it's cute. I had to work last night so they
called my house and Michael picked Amelie up to just hang out.
I wonder if Sarah is going to get as good as Michael on the guitar
to where she can play Canon in D also.
*new subject*
Snow and I haven't been talking for like a month now. I don't know
what's going on. I'm kind of worried because the last time she
called, she was sick. Her immune system isn't all that great. Our
3 month anniversary was last Friday. I would've called her, but
the number she gave me is the wrong one.
Peace

Today was a busy day for me. I went to Wichita to get my new glasses. They're
FREAKIN' AWESOME too!! Then I had to go to the Rainbow Vaccuum place and get
some shampoo stuff for shampooing carpets. Then I had to go to Sam's. 19 Rolls of
Film!! It was mainly all from my trip to Europe. I remembered everything about it too!
All of the pictures I looked at, I knew where they were from and what people were there.
Then I went to Kohl's and got a new pair of shoes for work. Since I can't wear clogs, I
went ahead and got a pair of Mudd heel shoes. They're nice and black and pretty. LOL
Then I went to Wendy's and got a drink, and finally came home! I didn't get home until about
5:30 pm. I left around 1:45. So 3 hours and 45 minutes isn't that bad I guess! :>D
Then tomorrow, I have to go to work in Maize. I have to leave at 9:00 am to be able to get
there by 10:00. And Sunday, I have church. ^_^ Yay...
Anywho, that's about it. I'll update later!!

7:09 pm - More Fair Stuff
|
Today I worked on getting a small poster made for our little face painting booth.
It says: FACE PAINTS 'r' US! Our Drawings Shouldn't Cause Any Mood Swings By
Fellow Peers. If They Do, Remember: You Chose The Picture, Not Us.
Small Image: $2.50 All Face: $4.00
I can't wait to start tomorrow! Trevor wants me to paint his face like a cat 'cuz the
drawing I did of it looked cool. I think I might even do mine like it too.
I went to my interview today for Pizza Hut. I start getting trained Saturday!! But I
have to stay home alone all weekend. My family's going to a family reunion and my
job won't allow me to go. :S Oh well. I think I'll have fun. The people I saw today that
were working seemed really nice, so I'm good to go! :D
Anywho, Snow called me today. I was so happy to hear her voice. And she made me
laugh during the whole conversation! But that's a good thing in a relationship. We've
been talking a lot about future things and stuff. Like kids, houses, things we're going to
do to embarrass each other. You know. The normal cute stuff. :)
Well, Better go!

Fire Faerie
Fire faeries are vivacious and full of life. They
are also very violent. Their chief purpose, to
their minds, is to wreak havoc upon those too
stupid to stop them. They care little for any
but themselves.
What kind of faerie are you?

11:05 am - 1 More Day!!
|
Tomorrow is the last day of school! FINALLY! I have been dying for this day to finally get here. I just got done taking my American History final. It was open book, but tiring as hell. I have to do my Anatomy and Physiology final next hour. Lucky me. :P
Yesterday, I started on a drawing of a fairy. I copied it from a sticker I had, but I drew it all free hand. The original picture is in different tones of green, but I decided to make it in different tones of blue because that's my favorite color. It's frikkin awesome! And when I get done with a background, I'll scan it and put it in my blurty to show off to the world! ^_^!
Less than 3 weeks!! Then it's Europe time!! I soo cannot wait! My mom got me a roll of film for each day. That's 24 pictures for 14 days!! Wow. I have to get a lot of people things from the different countries I'm going to. I think I might even get something for the American Idol judges, since I'm going to audition for the next one. Might as well be nice to all three of them! ^_^! Well, I think that's all I'm going to update on for now. Talk to you all later!
