[ music | Melee // Hey Stranger ]

Whoa, I've gotta say that this has been like one of the best days I've had in a long, long time. It was my first warped tour and it was so much fun.. Katherine was my ride and partner for the day and I haven't seen her in so so long and it really fun to spend the day with her. We met up with Rachael and Rebecca and their friend in the very beginning, while we were on line to get in still.. but we soon lost them without meaning to, and we didn't see them all day, til the very last set with allister.. There were so many bands there, and I liked a lot of them, I only wish that there were a couple more bands there, but it all worked out. It was an amazing day. Let's see, we saw Sugarcult first, who had an awesome song selection with included their old song Pretty Girl, which is my absolute favorite sugarcult song.. ::She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego:: My favorite lyric ever. Anyway, from there I think we went to see Motion City Soundtrack, who was really cool to see live. Katherine taught me the words to one day during a long run in track.. she taught me well lol. We then had a little time to kill and went to check out Melee, but it turned out to be Anadivine, which I liked, and I am in love with the guitar/singer man lol. His name is either Sean or Billy, I like Sean better, so Sean it is lol. He's gorgeous. Melee played after and I had heard a little bit of them before, and I liked how they sounded, so I bought their CD too. I'm listening to it now actually.. very nice. I don't even remember the order that we saw the other bands, but we saw Letter Kills, Matchbook Romance, the Matches, Hidden in Plain View, Coheed and Cambria, a little Thursday and Flogging Molly.. we didn't get to see much of New Found Glory.. we heard enough, but there were so many people at that stage that we couldn't even see them play. Allister was the last set that we saw.. We didn't get to see Taking Back Sunday or Rufio, but oh well.. everyone had to make some decisions. I bought an awesome Sugarcult shirt, I love it.

Katherine's got some really good pictures, which I hope she shares with meeeee ha. It was so gross though, not like horrible, but there was so much dust that everyone got so dirty. I was a mess.. but the weirdest guy came up to us.. apparently he goes to all these concerts and compliments girls on their shoes, and then asks to kiss them.. This guy literally kissed our dusty, disgusting sneakers.. eh well, whatever floats your boat.

I'm really tired now, I guess it's understandable. With the whole like 9 hours on your feet kinda thing. Eh, worth it though.

I'm loving this Melee cd by the way.

Ah, I'm tired and I've got to get up early to go to church tomorrow. I don't particularly mind it much, it's just the getting-up part that is most difficult, which is like with most things anyway

By the way, the subject is for this entry is from the shirt of an oh so pretty, shaggy haired boy at the Hidden in Plain View set.. sigh, I had a lot a lot of fun, I'm not even writing half the things that went down. It has been one of the best days of summer, and I'll leave it at that.

It'll be all that I have ever asked of you.. [06 Aug 2004|08:04pm]

Look at me, updating the very next day.. even after that crazy long entry.. I just had a lot on my mind and I'll leave it at that.

I'm gettin back to my eh normal schedule at home I think. I woke up at like 7:45 to go to the park and start getting in shape again. Before I left I went to the park each morning to either run/jog/walk with my mother and the dog.. it's good exercise and it does make you feel better about yourself, and in my case, it sort of justifies me sitting on my ass later watching TV.. but hey, that's me. I've been sort of power walking, as corny as that sounds, more than anything else, and it actually feels like I'm getting more out of it than jogging. However, I will start up the run soon, since volleyball tryouts are gettin within a couple weeks or so - and he's timing our miles. Supposedly, if we're over 8 minutes then we'll have to stay after practice to work on it, which would be in addition to the insane four hour tryouts felipe all ready has in store for us. joy! but I really love the sport.

I came home, got ready, straightened my hair, which is something that I haven't done in a long time.. it's gettin kinda long actually. It surprised me. My plan is to let it grow this year and next for the most part, so for proms, pictures, and sharon's wedding, I'll be able to do a lot with it.. then the summer before college, I'm gonna chop it off a lil above my shoulders. Hopefully, it'll be long enough to donate again.. we'll see. Only need 10 inches.. ha only.

I spent the majority of my day so far at my dear friend elizabeth's house and oh how I love her.. I haven't seen you in like a month! It's crazy and it just won't do. Eh, but we were both away at random times, but we're both back to stay now.. We watched two intense hours of ER, one of the best shows ever. And even though I am still confused on which character is who, I am still fascinated. We talked and caught up, ate bread and drank orange juice haha, then spied around the high school.. and I enlightened her in my obsessive little girl things I did not terribly long ago. I think they are entertaining.. curious anyone? Let me know.

Has anyone read that newsletter that the school sent out a bit ago? About the floor, and the lockers and such.. well it was all about how the lockers aren't gonna be installed for the first few months of the year, and in addition to that, they are rippin up everything in the locker rooms too. How utterly crazy and insane a plan that is, don't you think? It means that 1) we must carry all our books for every class with us at all times 2) if there isn't a place for our practice stuff, then that'll be carried too. Unless of course, we can find some nice, generous teacher that allows us to leave stuff in the room 3) I, for example, kept my flute in my locker at all times, partly cuz it was expensive and my parents like to know it's under a lock, and partly cuz it makes my teacher think I take it home and practice, even though it's only in my locker. This is gonna be so incredibly horrible, which makes us only dread the start of school even more.

My grandparents are here for the night, which means that I'll be stuck here for the night. Eh well, they're actually pretty cool. Maybe I'll get some work done. And warped tour in the morning! I didn't want to be out late anyway.

All for now -> me

Well, it has been a long time hasn't it. Mostly, it's been because I've been away for the past 2 weeks, but there was a lot of shit before I left that I had to deal with also. This, I can tell, is gonna be quite a long entry, but it will certainly get everyone up to date on my life, it may even help me sort things out as well.

Let's see, before I left I was devastated [yes I'm saying that ad] with my situation with rob.. I guess it turned out that I had my trust betrayed a bit and I was upset and angry and most of you who read this know all about the situation. I have never felt so many emotions in my life. I was crying my eyes out [rightfully so] but I was so frusterated and angry and disappointed and let down.. I just was so angry, I needed to scream and throw things and really hit rob somehow.. to make him hurt, at least phsyically, the way that I hurt deep inside.. but then I watched Love Actually [which, by the way, is like my new favorite movie, up there anyway] and it made me feel really good. See, I took it all as me and Rob broke up, and the movie made me feel that there's nothing wrong with me.. it's all the guys I choose that fuck me over, but I just had to keep my head held high and I'd find that right guy. It'll work out, there's no reason it shouldn't. And I was feelin pretty good and independent and strong emotionally actually.. I guess it turned out that that hurt rob a bit really, cuz I accepted that things were over and I was moving on, maybe not in the nicest way I don't know.

Well, turns out that rob felt pretty shitty about what he did to me, and apologized and took me out to a really nice place. Yea, that makes it sound like he didn't learn anything.. I don't know, I think that things are much better. I can't even get into words the way things turned out, but everything is much better and I think I'm happy again. I was just so crushed, and brought back to where I was during the year: in such a low place.. but this time, I didn't actually feel so helpless, I guess that had to do with the angry thing, but hey.. it got turned around and it was up to me whether or not I was gonna give rob another chance.. and let's just say that it's much better when you get to decide. But I am not at all saying that it was an easy decision, 'cause I was so crushed and hurt that I couldn't risk goin back there.. I won't let myself.

I did learn from that incident though. I think I did anyway. I hope so, 'cause that's the best thing you can do when life throws somethin shitty to you.

So I've been gone for the past 2 weeks almost all over -> Missouri, Wisconsin, Boston, and Cape Cod. In Misouri, like most of my friends have heard sometime, I have a ton of family cuz that's where both my parents grew up. Everyone thinks that there isn't anything to do here in NY, come on we all complain sometime.. but let's say that a little farming town in MO is a bit worse. I can drive to the movies in about 4 minutes, there, it's like 45. crazy, but I've gotten used to going there and hanging out with my cousin, bret, doing absolutely nothing. It's sort of fun, we make fun of a lot of things and he's my fave relative. I went to see his lift-off which is the end 'celebration' type thing of their weight training program during the summer. It was actually pretty cool, even though it got rained out so we didn't get to see the really good people. It's surprising how many hot guys there are in this little town.. Farmer boys are pretty damn sexy, it's crazy. But hey, not such a bad thing to look forward to in these annual trips to missouri.

Wisconsin is where we visited sharon and larry moody, who my sister is named after. They are both really amazing people and I really don't mind seeing them. They're like my aunt and uncle, I used to call them that, and they're both good at telling stories.. good ones at that. And Sharon understands my picky eating thing lol, she's like the nicest lady I have ever met in my life. From there, we drove to Boston to visit Meg. She's been working all summer at a lab at MIT and she's been the stage manager for this Shakespeare group, and their play opened this week. They did Romeo & Juliet which I liked cuz I knew what was going on, and I actually remembered some of it. It was a contemporary play, example, the setting was the Verona Cafe, but I really liked it. And, it was nice seeing Meg. Plus, she bought an iPod and that is oh so cool.

From Boston, we drove to Cape Cod to visit Sharon, my sister this time, Glen, and Glen's mom, Judy. They have a house in Dennis and it really is a nice place. We went on a whale watch midday, and that was basically a bust. We saw one whale, and it was seriously the only whale in the entire ocean at that point.. there were five whale watchin boats in pursuit of this 1 poor whale.. it was actually pretty pathetic.. I guess it was a nice boat ride though, relaxing. cute english boys around the boat too, accents are just dead sexy. We ate dinner, walked around, no beach time this time unfortunately, and played miniture golf late that night. I love to play, even though i am not particularly good, I lost in fact. By one stroke though! Still, I would play with anyone anytime, if anyone wants to go with me lol. really though. We left the next day in the afternoon, and went shopping some in the morning. I bought a couple shirts, and one has like the phrase skinny dippin' on it, just part of the screen ya kno.. and my mom's goin crazy over it. It's not like it means anything AT ALL! I'm banned at wearing it at school haha, truly though. maybe she thinks that it's not appropriate cuz she thinks it's like code for sex or something. whatever. she FREAKED when I wanted to buy Cosmo cuz there was some big article on something to do with sex, and she refused refused refused to buy it for me. Like I don't know anything about anything, well maybe I am naive.

Well I was entertained throughout my trip with an early birthday present: a portable DVD player. It's tiny but it's pretty cool, and I don't know how I would have occupied myself during the day. I bought a ton of new DVDs, with the help of my mother.. and I bought 4 new CDs before I left: Sugarcult, Taking Back Sunday, Name Taken, and Midtown. Sugarcult and Taking Back Sunday I've heard all the songs, and it's nice to just have them on CD.. I was disappointed in Midtown, I really didn't like it. But I love name taken. Their songs sound a tad bit the same, but I really like them a lot. In Missouri, I bought the Gavin DeGraw CD randomly, and it's really relaxing and I like it. My cousin Jenna burned me the Maroon 5 CD, mostly cuz I had to pick one cuz she wanted to.. I really don't like it. oh well.

Let's see, warped tour is on saturday and it seems that it's gonna work out. I'm goin with Katherine, I haven't seen her in so so long.. We're gonna meet up with some people there, and it should be a good day. Hopefully. I'm excited.

And my lovely boyfriend [ironically] left the same day that I got home for a week. I just love life and all the irony that gets thrown at you. It's ok though I guess, I'll see him wednesday and it'll be a happy time haha. I just don't wanna imagine some movie script ending and get my hopes up.. miss lindsey hugo style, but things worked out for her I hope. She'll be home on saturday or something, and we shall do something soon!

I was enormously emotional this afternoon. I had an orthodontist appointment, and it was supposed to be the last one before I get my braces off in september. Mind you, it was supposed to be august but then something he fixed didn't work, and it got pushed back a month. But the freakin guy decides that "Well, you'll get them off before Christmas." I had tears in my eyes in the office, but I don't even care. I was so crushed, cut down, and miserable. I guess I just had in my mind that finally this chapter of my life would be over, a day that I've been lookin forward to for an extremely long time. Last November, they said no more than a year, and possibly in six months, which would be last may. Well that came and went obviously, but they said in the summer. Then August, then September. Which I was all fine with. I saw that I'd get them off before my birthday, my sweet sixteen at that.. that I'd have a good school picture, I'd get them off before re-takes at least. But my "expectations" were let down once again. No one understands how miserable this makes me. No one gets it.

I got my AP work back and was very amused at the fact that in Mr Mellor's letter to everyone, there was a paragraph that told people to shorten their outlines, that "ten or eleven typewritten pages" is not needed. All you crazy, school-oriented people out there, that was to you.. it made me laugh.

Well, this has certainly been long enough. That's my thing, I never update every day, but when I do it's a terribly long post. I will try and change my ways cuz I know it's annoying to read this whole thing.. but hey, it helps me sort out stuff, and that's the point right? Well I love everyone who actually reads this.. let me know that you did!

[ music | brand new // failure by design ]

well, I haven't written in quite some time. partly, it's cuz I haven't been here so that's an obvious reason why I don't write. I was away for 6 days to new hampshire at like my great aunt's [I don't know, my grandma's double cousin?] lake house. granted, it's a nice place. really nice, I love it up there. It's just that there's only so much to do out there, and it's with a million people that I see once a year, meaning I'm not close with at all. I guess the best part of it is that my first cousins flew out this time, and I rarely see them at all, so it was nice that way. But again, as you can tell, I rarely see even them, and makes my family so very un-close, in every way we could be. I wouldn't ever want that like 7th-heaven type family, but one that's closer than mine would be nicer, but it doesn't look like that'll ever happen. what a shame, that there's nothing I can do about that. But meg is cool. haha.

Well funny story, it's short too lol. we'll see if it actually comes out funny, like I can get the funny-ness across haha. we were taking family pictures, the 'rosenburgs' of the reunion, and everything is fine and normal, lots of fake smiles and all.. when my grandpa just lets one riiiiiippppp.. omg, it's just about the funniest thing. then my uncle brad's like, ah, sure, that must've been the dog of course.. but it clearly wasn't, and I can't tell you how funny it was, maybe you had to be there.. but just imagine the quietness and then your grandpa of all people lettin one loose.. haha, let's just say the last picture must've captured the moment real well, and gotten some real smiles!

However, I was so scared on wednesday though. just like a couple hours after we got home [me and my mom] I got the most disturbing call in my life from Glen. I was home by myself, my mother was out doin something, and glen calls to say that sharon was in a bad car accident, and she was in the hospital, and didn't really know how she was and all. and he was so scared on the phone and I was just so shaken up. I called my mother's cell and successfully freaked her out with my lack of details, and my dad was driving home from boston and didn't have his cell, so there was no way to contact him. fortunately, and I mean luckily and miraculously, sharon was totally okay, despite her car flipping two whole times. just some cuts and bruises. some asshole SUV didn't see her and forced her off the road, where she lost control. and then they sped away like a real fcker. I've never been so shooken up in my entire life. but it's all okay. everything's all right.

well I went to the movies last night with mandee, and met up with pat, deirdre, and luz by chance, so we went with them. we saw anchorman, which is supposed to be really funny but it really wasn't. it was insanely dumb, and not even like funny dumb. sure, it had its moments, but not enough. but, there were a million people in this movie, like little parts, [perhaps they were cameos?] but still, lots of famous faces. I always love my movie dates with mandee though, =D

my mother is so moody! I can't even describe it really. for one, she's going crazy cuz I don't like to eat red meat. the doctor didn't help things cuz apparently I'm anemic, and don't get enough iron, which is in a lot of red meat. so now I'm taking a supplement and eating cheerios lol, and isn't that enough? but she's practically forcing me to eat hamburgers and steak.. and it's not that I don't like these things, it's just I can't stand the thought of it. I mean, I still eat chicken and I will eat a hamburger once in a while voluntarily, it's just that I don't prefer to eat red meat, that's all. is that so bad? and then my mother is going crazy cuz my grandparents are moving and theyre giving us their [broken] piano. let's just say that my mom isn't too happy about that lol, she doesn't want to have two and there really isn't a good place for it, but it's like sentimental to my dad or something and he really wants it, even though it'll cost thousands to fix and repair it. but it's like this huge ass fued, and I'm not even kidding. it's insane how worked up my mother's gettin at this. like I don't want to even ask to go out tonight, cuz I know she'll jump down my throat. I thought it'd be better to just sit back and relax tonight. granted, I didn't like turn anyone down, but I didn't like call someone up to do something with.. maybe tomorrow or something. maybe she'll cool off by then, I can't even imagine when the actual god damn piano is delivered here =/ however, I do find it a little funny.

and I can't think of more to say. I've got a lot on my mind and I'm just feelin pretty blahhh right now, so maybe I'll be back to write my heart out some more. ha. we'll see if that actually happens, probably not. but maybe. oooo the mystery haha. byeZz

RYAN! [26 Jun 2004|10:06pm]
[ mood | calm ]
[ music | motion city soundtrack // my favorite accident ]

oh, I am in LOVE with ryan gosling. I can't say I'm not. I saw The Notebook last night with amanda and katherine, and yes it is such a girly chick flick.. but you know what, I don't care! it was soo soo good, just as good as I expected it, and I recommend to all who love these flicks. I have been in love with ryan since remember the titans wayyy way back, I mean I loved his little part in that movie.. and i just wanted to be the girl in the movie last night, he was such the perfect guy. how much of a girl do I sound like? I don't care, I was in my own little perfect world watching that movie last night. and I couldn't be happier. I just might go back and see it again, and again, and again. I don't think I'd ever get tired of it. yes, it was predictable and you know that girl would get back with ryan, but still.. it's one of the best flicks i've seen in a long time.. there haven't been any real good girly movies in awhile actually. I haven't quite figured out how to get a pic of ryan in here, there's gotta be some way? eh well, I just want one on here so I can look and drool at it whenever I want =]

I went out to applebee's before the movie with mandee last night also, and I must say that I always enjoy our dates.. there was plenty to talk about for sure.. we never have a lack of topics, especially since both of our lives have a substantial amount of drama in them.. especially her at the moment.. we ran into freddy and tom later before the movie, who refused to come see the chick flick with us haha.. but, you know, there are several reasons why a guy should go see a flick with his girlfriend.. 1) cuz it'd show how much the guy cares about the girl, like he cares so much that he'd put up with a girly movie just for her 2) all guys could learn a thing or two from the leading guys in the movies.. there is a reason why they make us melt 3) if they agree to a chick flick, then they could do whatever they'd like the next time they do something, for example, some gory movie or something.. sigh, I just want ryan, or some guy to act like him..

this afternoon I had to play for graduation, and even though I really didn't want to be there, it turned out okay. Yes, it was pretty boring, but it was nice. I couldn't help but watch someone, someone that I still haven't quite forgot about, even though there isn't much for me to forget.. why can't I get over him? totally and completely? but, it'll be real final when I never see him again, and it looks like that's how it'll end up. still, I'm drawn to him and, no matter how hard I try, I cannot explain it. I hate myself for even writing THIS much about him. I'm done.

I don't understand relationships. and guys for that matter. when you're goin out with someone, like the beginning is the best part almost, cuz everything is new and different, and just FUN.. and like you're just overall happy, almost OVERLY happy.. and thats how I should be right now, and I'm just not.. partly cuz I don't think that rob is terribly happy really either, which doesn't let me be fully happy.. but, well.. maybe I shouldn't complain I don't know. I just don't know. Like I should still have butterflies and still excited and it's not really that I don't feel those things, but he's got me thinking and he asks me questions that makes me think about things all ready.. and I think that I'm just overthinking things.. and I need to stop. Tomorrow's 1 month, but as far as I know, there are no plans.. so that has got me a bit bitter lol.

I went to kristen's softball game tonight with leslie, and had a good time catchin up with that girl.. she saved me cuz I didn't have any plans, well actually I did, but it was to something that I didn't want to go to, and then I found out I didn't have to go.. so everything turned out better. I am, however, extremely jealous of leslie cuz 1) she has her junior license and 2) she's got her own car all ready.. well, she can drive me all around town, I love her.

And I think that that's about all. My oh my, I never write short posts, but eh, rather long ones every few days. Well, that's me and I'm out. I LOVE EVERYONE WHO ACTUALLY READS THIS! lol, really I do.

i'm back [23 Jun 2004|06:36pm]
[ music | the rembrandts // i'll be there for you ]

ok, i'm back.. not like there is oh so much for me to say, but at least i keep my word lol. in case you're tuning in, read the entry before this before this one lol.. i got interupted basically. well i should be lookin more optimistic cuz it's the first OFFiCiAL day of summer! school is officially over, at 10 oclock this morning.. ah its so nice. school isnt always so bad, like you just accept that you have to go and do work, but you do see your friends everyday.. but it's been such a hassle lately, like it's just been taking up way too much of my time lately.. granted, i was like absent, in virginnia, or workin on the play like a couple days a week for the last few weeks.. it was so just hectic for awhile.. and it was all review in each class, which is all well and good, just incredibly and insanely boring. i felt a bit behind, like in chem.. but other than that, i really didnt miss much. but thats all over now!! moving on

i was faced with a bit of a problem with rob this past week.. but it did clue me into myself and who i want to be. cuz i'm not good at talking about myself and making decisions and like putting myself out there.. i'm not comfortable with myself enough to just talk about something random, to let people know who i really am.. most people that i think know me the best have just learned along the way about the dumb little things about me.. they never let me down, and were willing to learn about me the hard way [you guys know who you are.. and if you don't, then maybe you don't know me so well lol] but everythings good now.. rob and i had a little adventure to.. an unknown softball game lol, we only tresspassed a little bit, how strange did that sound? lol why dont you ask me about it haha.. and today i went to an afternoon movie with rob, deirdre, and chuckie.. and it was a cute time lol, i had fun. we saw dodgeball! and it was dumb of course, but quite funny.. ahh, i'm a happy girl.

what else, what else. volleyball summer league starts on monday.. oo i'm nervous for it, mostly cuz i don't know if liz is able to go with me, and yes, i do know the girls, but i'm not that close with them.. i'll feel a little weird, but i just gotta be confident and go through with it.. also, since i haven't really touched a volleyball in a long, long time.. that doesn't really help things.. unless you count gym, but no, it doesn't really count. gym volleyball is a lot different than REAL volleyball, get my drift? haha

well i had a physical on monday, which all in all went fine.. but we get to the end, where they do the little TB thing and the finger prick.. it surprisingly didn't hurt, and coming from someone who hates needles and her own blood, that's sayin a lot.. but we get home, and the doctor calls and says i didn't have enough hemoglobin in my blood, probably cuz i havne't been gettin enough sleep and i'm a bit under the weather lol.. so i go BACk, and they do the damn finger prick once more, sharper this time so it hurt more.. and still it wasn't good enough. so they get out the equipment to draw blood from my arm.. so it's like tuuuubes of my blood and containers of it and ahhh i am so afraid of that.. yes i am exaggerating a bit but still.. the nurse is like, well we might as well do this random test too, YEA JUST KEEEP THIS NEEDLE IN MY ARM FOR MORE THAN IS NECCESARY WHY DONT YOU! and the nurse is about to do it, i have my eyes closed cuz i'm nervouv as hell.. and she's like 'you know what, i'm not comfortable doing this.. i don't know if i'll get the vein or not' and she was about to do it?!! ahhh just my luck. but then another came and did it, and it was over.. ahh it was traumatic for me! i kno, you all feel for me of course

well that's it, i'm out.... til probably like next week? lol

well, i'm not so good at this journal thing.. i spend more time lookin at other people's and sometimes commenting to them lol.. that i never ever come update mine.. mostly cuz i don't think much has happened to make it worthwhile to read.. eh well, maybe it'll be entertaining to someone..

well basically all that you've missed is final week, even though it's been pretty relaxed for me, my schedule anyway.. like last week i only had 2 tests, and this week i had 3, but on 2 days.. i've had 4 total days completely off, and i can't complain about them, even though i've been stuck at home cuz 1) i can't drive and 2) there's not a car for me to drive, except for our like TWELVE year old piece of shit van, which i will never drive in my life. my mother's even afraid to drive it, so there's no way that i will.. i said to my dad once, 'yea my luck, i'll be driving it and then the engine will fall out or something' he goes to me, 'oh you don't have to worry about that, the wheels will come off first' how comforting! well the regents's weren't so incredibly bad, i did fine on english and global, the only 2 that i found out my grades on.. math and spanish weren't bad, and chem today was a lot easier than i thought it'd be.. and that's about it.. my mother's flippin a shit cuz i need to make dinner or something, i'll be back later, and perhaps i shall update more

well not much is new since i last updated, but i shall try and think of sommmething to write about.. well school's over, well not officially, cuz it's still finals week, but that's besides the point. this week is so awesome for me cuz i had a test on monday and just one more on thursday.. and that's it for the week. i have three days to do absolutely nothing, and i am one who likes that time, when there's nothing for me that i actually have to do. well yes, i should be studying, and i am a little bit.. chem mostly, maybe a little global? but other than that, and possibly a review of the spanish tenses or something, i have nothing to doooo! i am so excited.. these past couple weeks have been so hectic lately, and now everything is starting to really slow down now... not that i dont like having things to do, but theres just been so much lately, and all of it has been piling up and not givin me a lot of sleep.. but that seems to be over now, and its almost almost summer.. with give or take, nothing to do! ah, i can't wait.. more so than any other summer before i think..

well last saturday was pav's dance recital, and i'm glad i went.. i've never gone to anything like that before, unless you count her mini one at our talent show in 6th grade lol.. but it was definitely a different experience and i'm very glad i went.. then later that night was katherine's party [no not kathering lol, just a typoooo] and it was a lot of fun.. lots of catching up and picture taking, as much as i dont like pictures, i'm hoping that perhaps one of the million i took will turn out decently of me.. sigh, i am so not photogenic. but later we went to saved! and i dont know, not my choice of movies.. i thought it might be better.. but haha when that kid was dancing in the wheelchair, i flipped out, it's gotta be the funniest thing i've seen in a long long time.. i'm crackin up as i write this, that was the highlight of my night i think lol. haha, i'm still laughing.. and still will be for a long time i think

ahh the only bad thing about summer is that i eat like crazy, like when i dont have anything to really do, i eat instead, to give myself something to do.. ah well, what can i do, i'm hungry.. so i'm off to find something in the kitchen..

hey there everyone, you know it's the weirdest feeling when you wake up from a nap and it's like almost evening.. cuz then it's like you should be sleeping again pretty soon. it doesn't sound like anything but i'm in kind of a dazed mood right now. i meant to get up at 4:30, but didn't until 6. eh well, the pizza will be here soon, it's good that i got up.

THE concert lol was sunday night, and definitely worth going to see.. matchbook romance did not let us down at all, they are my favorite band i think. they even sang tiger lily, which if you're smart, then you'll realize that that's my user name and such, cuz i love love love that song. yeah i'm a sucker for acoustic stuff.. actually i love the whole band so it's awesome, it's a perk.. the matches were just as good as we had hoped for, even though they didnt play eryn smith for rachael!! it's okay, they made up for it cuz they played awesome, and they were oh so nice when we got stuff signed out back.. maxeen didnt let us down either, cuz we weren't quittte sure how they were.. i wanted to get their cd before the show, but there's no doubt that i'll get it now.. i liked my spot in the pit during the show, cuz i was leaning against the back wall, so i was in the pit but not in the middle at all.. i got a little squished at times, but it wasnt bad at all.. so thanks to all you guys [rach, kathering, rebecca, and veronica] for a good time on sunday

last night was the lakeland concert and my date with miss lindsey hugo lol. actually it wasn't, but we were originally going to plan to surprise a couple of boys by showing up to their concert, and tell marko that lidnsey was on a date with me lol [it's a bit of an inside joke..] but it turned out that we needed to play, since we were oh so incredibly amazing down in virginia.. so it wasnt a surprise, which is quite all right. i got to see a certain someone, which always makes everything better..

and that is about it i believe, 3 days of school left, how crazy is that? i am oh so excited and very ready to have a break..

[ music | stay tonight // matchbook romance ]

ahh well, it has been quite some time since i last wrote. first and foremost, today has been a crappy day and i feel like complete and utter shit. today was the sat IIs, i was taking math and chem.. not so hard you would think.. however i am the dumbass blonde who takes the fckin wrong math test. how incredibly dumb is that, am i really that dumb? i've never felt so retarded before. so i can either cancel the whole thing, or take the shitty score that i will get, and explain my dumbness to colleges if they ask.. how could i have done something so entirely stupid? i dont understand, i dont get it myself.. i'll end up cancelling it, and taking the right math next october probably, and the chem after AP next year.. which probably is the best thing anyway, since i would have taken it again anyway.. but i always thought that i was pretty smart about things, that i had enough common sense to get me through things.. but apparently not. im such a dumfuck sometimes

well i'm now sitting here doing absolutely nothing, actually waiting for jane to call me so we can finish up our global project, which also is pointless and completely not worth all the time it's taking. it's the end of the year project, designed to fill time, and really of no importance at all. however, as i wait for jane to call me back, she's waiting for sidra to call her.. so nothing is being done. how wonderful and productive..

the play's tonight, the last show. it's not bad, the story really is quite crappy, but the production of it is goin okay.. it's fun backstage, maybe it'll calm me down a bit tonight.. after it's all over, there's the cast party and going to the diner to hang out with everyone and i want to go, but i've gotten less sleep over the past couple weeks than i ever have before. i dont know how i'm functioning honestly.. plus my parents are making me go to church tomorrow, so i have to get up early for that, and then matchbook romance is at our mall from 11-1 or 11-2, which is incredibly exciting, but just makes me fight with my parents a bit more cuz it's just another place i need them to take me. man, i cannot wait for my liscence, which is just another worry.. but then tomorrow's the concert which i really am looking forward to.. just the lack of sleep is my main issue.. no, i just need to relax and hang out with rach, katherine, n rebecca.. oh it'll be a good time, i just can't let other things worry me.. seeing and hearing mbr will make my day, plus the matches should be awesome, and i hope maxeen is as well.. i heard a bit of their music, and i liked what i heard, but who knows.. i shall find out soon enough though.. it doesnt sound like i'm to excited, but honestly, i really am.. rach n katherine, let me know about tomorrow, just like the plans again.. i'll probably talk to you katherine tonight at the play, i don't know if rach is goin or not.. my dad said something like i could get dropped off at the mall on the way home from church, if you guys will already be there or whatnot.. well let me know, i'd appreciate it..

last weekend was our virginia beach trip, and it'll be hard to explain how great it really was in this.. i really did need that break [even though things are still hectic, it'll all be calming down pretty soon..] i'm very grateful for the bonding with my roommates! yes you know who you are, lins liz n ad, we definitely had the coolest room, and haha i found one of our room keys, i guess they didnt reallllly matter after all.. plus i went on roller coasters [yes i was scared out of my mind] which sounds pretty petty, but not when i have never EVER in my life been on one before. i must say, they were kind of fun, well except for the big drops in the beginning.. i AM getting better, i just need someone to hold my hand lol. and of course, i cannot leave out.. my boyyyfriend, yes a new one. it sounds really quick after jason, well it's true, but it is complicated. jason and i never really were going out, it never really felt like it, all it was was a title. i felt for awhile that i was going out with rob more than i was goin out with jason at the time.. but rob's much better for me, extremely so. i even got my moonlit walk on the beach lol, you know how that's always someone's idea of like the ideal date. well it is quite nice, very much so.. oh i'm happier now, i don't really seem it right now, but i am honestly, despite some things i have heard, which i don't know whether to believe or not.. but i'm not gonna really believe it until i ask him maybe.. i think he'd be honest with me, and i will trust him, there's no reason i shouldnt. he makes me more happy than i have been in a long time..

well i still feel pretty crappy, but just writing this out does help a bit i guess.. maybe this wasnt such a bad idea lol rach? i shall be going, not cuz i really have anything i need to do, but i'll try calling janie to see what's up.. the project's due monday and basically it'll be our 4th quarter grade, give or take a test or two.. leave some happy thoughts

[ music | iris // goo goo dolls ]

well let's see. i guess a lot's been goin on. i'm officially single, but it doesn't really feel any different.. which i guess really shows me that i really had nothing, and therefore i really didn't lose a thing, except for maybe a title. it's still hard though, i can't explain it. i broke up with him in a fckin letter. i hate that, i hate telling people that, but what else was i supposed to do? i'm so disappointed, in him really.. i guess my expectations were too high? but i'm allowed to expect more than nothing. i'm better off now, very much so, but i can't help thinkin about the dumb situation anyway.. it's on my mind all the time and i can't help it, as much as i really just don't want to think about it. i have better things to think about anyway! like...

virginia beach is in 2 days! not even really.. cuz we leave after 4th period on thursday. we only have 1 full day left, and then the classes on thursday don't really matter.. it's not like we're really gonna be payin much attention anyway. let's just hope that there are stories to tell all the people who aren't goin with us. yes thats YOU katherine lol. lots n lots of stories hopefully.

i went to the vet for my dog this afternoon and he might have arthritis or something, or he's going to develop it or something. it's sad, he's just a little puppy, even though he's not.. he's 2. still, he's about the size of a puppy, and yesss rachael you will be coming over sometime soon so you can meet him more than you have all ready lol.. sound good?

the next few weeks are gonna be so busy, it's really gonna be crazyy.. memorial day weekend is virginia.. the week after that jane, sidra, and i are gonna have to stay after each day after school to work on our history project which we havent started at all.. and then janie and i will just stay at panas til 11 for the play rehearsals.. THEN friday and saturday nights are the play, saturday morning is the SAT II, but, the final reward lol is the matchbook romance show sunday night.. i'm gonna be so incredibly tired, but hey.. it'll be worth it. then on monday it's lakeland's concert, and on wednesday it's ours.. plus there's a track party mixed in there... and finally lol, there's katherine's party on the 12th, with a couple newly invited people yes?! lol that should be a ton of fun lol

well that's a good summary of what's goin on lately.. any opinons of any of it.. feel freeeee to comment lol either one of you who reads this lol.

hey all.. even though i'm pretty sure about 2 people look at this.. well it's been a pretty good day.

yesterday i moved furniture around in my room, which just made the whole room look a lot better, therefore makin me feel better lol. but it made me go through some stuff, 'reminisce' and such which is always fun. anyway, now it's very clean, clean enough for rach to come over finally lol and anyone else who would like to toooo cuz i'm currently bored and would like some company.

today was amy's sweet sixteen, and it was so cute and just so amy lol. it definitely had its moments, nicole, kris n I caught up and hung out together.. my lottery ticket sucks though, i was upset.. but whoa, there were these little girls outside waiting for a dress rehearsal or something at the dance studio next door i guess... but they staring and pointing at us forever, they looked pretty bitchy even though they were like 6! lol but kristen knew how to scare 'em off.. just take a random picture of them from inside the restaurant, through the glass window lol.. haha maybe you had to be there..

..i'm realizin that i'm in a good mood, but not in a mood to write... so i'm gonna end it here, maybe i'll come back later.. ...maybe.

hm what to say, what to say.. yes that is a great start. today was an okay day, i've been in a better mood for the past couple days, it's kind of an odd feeling.. things arent like amazingly great by any means, but i guess theyre not so bad either.. well okay, there is one real bad thing. my dumb little relationship [which if you know me, you know who and what i'm talkin about] is still continuing downward. it's so pathetic that i can't even get the time from him to break up with him.. that sounds pretty bad, but this relationship sucks. i dont even want to get into the details of it, or the lack of stuff in it.. but it is so pointless, and it's gettin me so down.. i'm so disappoited with it i guess, thats more like it. i can't explain why i like him, i cant even explain WHY i like him anymore, but i am drawn to him for some reason.. i almost hate that now. but "no matter how much this hurts, this is through." just thought i'd throw that little matchbook quote in there.. ha cuz i think i'm clever lol. humor me =]. well once that relationship is over, which it WILL be, cuz there's nothing to keep me in it.. maybe then i can move on to a certain other guy [it's not reallllly like i've got someone else already lined up, really it's not.. you want the details, i'll explain later lol] well, at the moment, my love life sucks.. but we'll see, it's actually not depressin me at the moment: surprisingly.
onto a slighty happier note, my braces will be off in august! that's not tooo incredibly far away. 3 months, give or take! i can do that, come on now.. it's gettin close.. do you know how happy i will be when they're off? omg, i'll be exstatic.
rach- so how about that dinner at that restaurant tomorrow night? lol we'll both drink about a gallon of water each hehe, sound like a plan?
well, that's basically it.. i'm in a weird mood, there's like NOTHING on my mind, which is a very, very odd thing cuz i'm ALWAYS thinking about something or other.. well catch ya laterZz

well, this is the first official post of my first official journal, unless you count like an actual diary i kept in like middle school.. anyways, my lovely pal rachael put me up to this, because apparently she'd like to have another thing to do online, so i might as well have a journal so she can comment on my interesting life. now that was a run on sentence, expect that. well this is weird, but kinda cool i guess.. personally, i doubt that my life will bring humor to those few who will read it, but hey who knows.. we shall see, and you'll let me know in your comments yes?! lol well let's see, today was a whole lot of nothing. however, we are making an awesome cd mix to bring to VIRGINIA beach in just SEVEN DAYS! thats just 1 week, imagine, right now we'll be on a bus like halfway to the beach already.. just to clue people in, the symphany orchestra is goin to VA beach over memorial day weekend, and yes it's a dorky band trip but listen to it. we play ONE time for half an hour, and that's it! it's five days, four nights.. busch gardens, kings dominion, "quality beach time," this dinner cruise thing.. omg, it'll be awesome.. well i certainly hope so, i could really really use a vacation from this hectic fcked up life of mine.. well back to how the trip came up, the cd. anyone have any other ideas on old happy songs? lol that sounds bad, but like songs that everyone knows and can sing to, that put everyone in a good mood, yeah, those kind of songs.. well ad, liz, mer, and lindsey, we will have the most awesome-est mix ever.
hmm what else, what else.. i'd like to give some props to RACHAEL once more, because this second shout out will certainly amuse her quite a lot.. plus, the matches cd is amazzzing, as is fall out boy, which i knew already, but still. they're good enough to say it again. thank you muchhhhhho for burning them for me real quick! AND giving me your last pretty colored CDs lol.
well, i'm out, have to get to an oh so anticipated orthdontists appointment to find out when exactly i can get these god awful braces off... i hate them so incredibly baddd, but, it should only be a matter of a few more months! i can deal with that.. maybe. we'll see, i'll get back to ya. well i'm leaving, hope this isnt too incredibly boring, i actually had some fun writing to the computer hehe. catch ya laterZz
