7:32 pm - I'm losing everything.
So summer's almost over. Work just ended yesterday. It was kind of sad. I will really miss most of the coworkers.. but I'll probably see a lot of them when I work winter break and hopefully next summer. One of them might actually have a class with me this semester. I'll even miss some of the kids. Haha the very first kid I met when I started working 2 years ago is this crazy little asian boy, who's also a freakin genius, named Alex. He was SOOO bad this summer. But I got him to say he'll miss me yesterday. And I made him hug me goodbye. 3 days ago he said I was the worst counselor ever, so I told him he was the worst camper ever. Then 5 minutes after that he told me he was "impressed with my drawing skills". We had a love hate relationship =P Anyway so I'm gonna miss work. Kate and I went to a small party at this guy we work with Ray's house last night. It was fun. I only knew him, another guy I work with Earin, and one of their friends I met once. And I was pretty much younger than everyone. But I still had fun. Work people might be going to Dave and Busters on Friday too.. so I still get to see some of them.

Anyway so as summer ends, I'm left feeling a lot emptier than I felt when it started. I don't know exactly why, but I feel like I lost a lot. A few close relationships I had have loosened a lot, some which I never thought would. It's saddening. A few relationships have gotten closer though so it sort of balances out. I've become very jaded and beliggerent though, because I feel like I can place the blame of my losing some close friendships on one person, and it's not me. Of course this isn't logical because I could have worked harder to keep that person from doing their damage, but I didn't. I guess it's too late to do anything now. I'm moving to College Park exactly 2 weeks from today. I got my roommate, and I sent her a message on facebook but she has yet to reply. I'm a little worried. If she doesn't reply by next week I guess I'll call her but I HATE talking on the phone, especially with people I don't know. So I keep telling myself that I will let college change me. I feel like I can't change myself until I have a good excuse to. I want college to make me a whole new person. I can make myself a whole new person, and nobody there will know it, and when I come home people will know that it was college that did it. I don't like who I am now. I'm too shy. I can't speak my mind. I'm timid and quiet when I talk to people, and I talk way too fast. I don't really care for my voice in general. And I'm insecure. I've been working on it, slowly but surely. I just don't want to put it into effect until I start college, don't know why. I'm just gonna let go of all my inhibitions and be outgoing and spontaneous. Easier said than done, I'm sure, but I'm determined. I don't like who I am now, so the only solution is to change who I am. We'll see how it all works out.

2:25 am - 8 months later............
Haha wow I haven't updated since New Years. So basically half of senior year plus this summer has gone undocumented.

Well the remainder of senior year was okay. I got into all 4 colleges I applied to. Most importantly, College Park. Yay. I leave 3 weeks from today. I'm sure I'll be home a lot but maybe not. If I like it there then why come home? So yeah high school.. wasn't sad to leave at all. I'm sure I'll miss it when I start difficult work in college but eh. High school sucked. I can count on one hand the good things I got out of it. I was so happy to graduate. The biggest thing going through my mind during graduation was that I was walking across the stage where Davey Havok had just walked like 3 days before haha :D It was awesome. Oh yeah so HFStival 2006 was wonderful. Got up really close to Kanye on day 1 with my sister. Then Day 2 Becca and I stayed almost the whole day and got up close and personal with AFI <333 Davey and I definitely made some intense eye contact at least twice.

Senior week was great. I remember approximately half of it. Haha you know that's a good sign right there. Well there was some unwanted drama at some points but aside from that it was a good time. Had some random excursions, met some random people. Ash and I basically hung out with different people every day. Marcus stayed with us 4 of the days.. we saw Kristen every day. I ended up passing out in random places then wandering home by myself late at night like twice hahaha. Didn't even go in the ocean. I went in up to my ankles one day but it was freezing. So yeah. Maybe wanna do that again but not for a whole week and not with the same people. And in a different place. Maridel was nice and cheap but we had a crazy little old security man who checked ID's every night and basically hated us. Well not us.. he liked me. He didn't like Ashley. He thought she was drunk every night. He thought I was staying sober all week haha. We actually ended up getting away with everything we needed to get away with.

So what else big has happened? Ah yes. The big 1-8. Went to work that day, I remember. Then went to Cheesecake Factory with Becca, Ashley, Dan, Marcus, and Kristen. That was really really fun. I'm so glad they all came and made me feel so special on my birthday :)

Went to orientation for Maryland. I didn't really enjoy it. Everyone in my group was shy, cept for a few people, so I didn't really make any friends. I got tricked into sleeping in a single so I didn't get to meet a roommate.. but I was tired that night so I guess it was okay. But I got a bangin schedule. No classes before 10 AM or after 3 PM (cept a 5 - 5:50 on Thursdays).

Then I went clubbing for the first time with my sister and some people from work at Iguana Cantina. That was... an experience. Ended up getting pulled over on the way home for going the wrong way on a one way. Woops. Oh well, live and learn.

Then work started. I was iffy about it at first but now I like it. It's the same thing I do during the school year, basically. I work 10 - 6 Monday through Friday, well actually this upcoming week is the last week. I'm getting sad :( I like the people I work with, a lot. I'm gonna miss them! I won't see them anymore either cuz I'm obviously not working during the school year this year. And some of them didn't work with us during the school year anyway. But they're all very cool.

So yeah, Summer has been mostly work. Some parties. Not too many but enough. I house sat for a week. That was interesting. Uhh so yeah working, little partying, lots of hanging out = summer '06.

Now I'm counting down the days till departure for college. I find out my roommate on Wednesday. Gah it's driving me crazy. Everyone else knows their roommate. I gotta get shopping for my dorm!

Okay that's all for now. I might try to update again soon. We'll see.

2:17 am - Wee 2006
I know I haven't updated in eons. I apologize. I just haven't felt the need. But, for some reason unbeknownst to me, I am feeling very expressive today. Sooo I'm updating! Huzzah!

School's been okay. Mr. Wright knows who I am finally. That kinda sucks, but he still never calls on me so who am I to complain? Physics and Precalc haven't been too bad, surprisingly. I'm enjoying Senior year immensely. And I just love the fact that I got college applications out of the way like 2 months ago. Some people are still applying.. some have yet to apply.. I'm done man. I got into UMBC and I was offered $1500 a year. Woohoo! If College Park doesn't take me then I have a plan B, which is always nice.

What else? Work is just.. work. I realized I really do like working with kids. They like me. I'm not even close to a hard ass but I'm more strict than I was last year haha. And oddly enough, kids respect you more if you're not afraid to yell at them. I guess then they appreciate it more when you're nice to them. The other day, one of the most horrible kids I've dealt with since I started working actually apologized to me. It was so amazing! He came up to me on his own free will and said "Sorry." And I was like "o.o Why???" and he says "For being mean to you earlier" I felt so accomplished!! I like my coworkers too. They're fun. "Eh? Eh? Eh?" Haha a few people will get that. So yeah.. work's not terrible!

Ummm what else is going on in the life of Megan? Winter Break is very relaxed. I was planning to paint my room this week but decided it was too much work haha. I'm moving out in like 8 months anyway so what's the point? My parentals already informed me that, as soon as I leave, my room's getting all redone and I'm gonna be living in the basement when I return. I'm kinda mad cuz I love my room. It's just my comfort zone. Getting used to dorm life is going to suck. Sharing a tiny room with someone I've never met? Yikes! Oh well though. College ahhh I can't wait!

So yeah back to Winter break.. hmm.. Christmas was very lucrative lol. I'm spoiled, and I know it. I do appreciate it though and my parents know so it's not like I'm a brat. It was a nice day though. My mom made an amazing brunch. My grandma spent the day with us. We got Chinese for dinner. Very chill. I can't really remember what I did each day in detail... Tuesday the whole dad's side of the family came over. Got to see my nephews! I love those brats. I saw my cousins too. Andrew just turned 14 and he TOWERS over me. He's 5'10 I think? Holy crap lol. Joe is 9 lol he's funny. My family's fun. We exchanged gifts and crap.. ate loin of pork for dinner. Yummm. My mom rules the kitchen haha. They all left around 7.. I went to Target then Lizzy called me! Her mom was in Michigan so I went over to her place, some other people were there. I haven't been at her house in AGES. It was cool. I had fun haha. Went home and crashed..

Friday: Becca, Ashley and I went to a movie theatre in Silver Spring to see Brokeback Mountain. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal mackin it, wooo!!! Haha sike I'm not a perv but it was fun to watch and it was a beautiful movie overall. So I give it two thumbs up :D The commute was a tad bit stressful. Glad I wasn't driving I guess. Becca got us all sorts of lost on the way home! ;) Haha. Confusing road signs and whatnot.. gist of it is, we ended up in downtown D.C. My dad is a human roadmap so I called him and he got us back on track. Seriously, it's scary. He is THE best person to call when lost. So we finally made it home and yeah!

Last night was New Year's Eve! Duh. Ahh it was sooo much fun. 2006! w00t. It's graduation year. It's college year. It's turn 18 year. I think 2006 is going to kick ass. One can only hope, right?

11:10 pm - Oh how I love brats...
Conversation between a six year old and myself....

Me: Hey Anders, do you have a cold?
Him: Yeah
Me: Well someone just complained to me that you coughed on them so from now on please cover your mouth when you cough
Him: She lied!!!
Me: Who lied?
Him: Kareena lied!
Me: Now wait a minute I didn't tell you Kareena was the one that complained how'd you know?
Him: Because she's the one I coughed on.
Me: ..Then she didn't lie you just said you coughed on her
Him: No.. she said she didn't care that I coughed on her... cuz she's already sick
Me: I really don't care it's extremely rude and you could get someone sick...

His dad walks in.

Dad: What's the problem?
Me: Oh well someone said that Anders coughed on them so I was asking him to please cover his mouth from now on

Dad looks irritated (at me) and says "Okay Anders go get your stuff"

The parents are the reason I have to deal with such bratty kids! Parents let their little snotty brats get away with EVERYTHING!

Yesterday this boy slammed a big chunk of legos on the table, so he had to pick them all up by himself. His mom walks in and he starts crying hysterically. He's in 5th grade! He tells her "what happened" and she says oh dear well your sister and I will help clean them up.

Ohhhh the little brats. At least there are good kids to balance them out.

Some of them make me never want to have children! All I know is my kids aren't going to act like they do.

1:39 am - TGIF!
Today was a very busy, yet fun friday.

So school was eh. Took a test in physics.. definitely thought I was going to fail but it wasn't that hard. So I probably will pass and won't feel the need to go make it up haha. So that was a plus. Then English... pretty easy. We got the essays we wrote yesterday back and I think we all got 30/30 but mine didn't have too many bad comments. And I asked Brother about one and he like, answered me without yelling at me or making me feel stupid haha ^.^ Another plus! Precalc was ordinary. We didn't do anything exciting... haha in Foods we make "Thanksgiving dinner". It was total crap. My group made pumkpin pie, which turned out really gooey because we didn't have enough time in class to fully bake it. Another group made the most disgusting cornbread I've ever tasted in my life. Ms. Stephens made this really good roast but we each got ONE tiny piece of it. Another group made an interesting chocolate cake which didn't taste too bad... and finally another group made Mac and Cheese, and it was actually very good. Then Sociology... I wanted to help with canned food drive stuff but other peopel were already doing like, everything so I really didn't wanna get in the way. I just kinda sat there all class, along with everyone else. It was so boring but whatever.

So after school I go out to my car and stalker Ashley is standing right there cuz she had just gotten back from her field trip =P So we go around her 'hood and pick up bags of canned foods for the drive... then I go home and go to work. That's right I got my old job back! Yayyy. It's not bad, the staff is entirely different this year aside from one guy and Marsha (my director). But it's very cool cuz last year when I started it was all old people. 3 middle aged women and the rest were like 25+ ...and no guys! This year it's all younger people and it's definitely more fun. Today we just spent the whoooole time in the gym and at the end we played dodge ball haha. Guess what... I SUCK at dodgeball =P Like really badly. These little kids were killing me! I'm definitely not aggressive enough for something like dodgeball haha. Oooh well.

So after work I go straight to Ash's then we go to the mall and get fooood cuz I was starving! Then we were shopping and Dan calls! So he was like let's see a movie blah blah and we were like well maybe, so he came to the mall anyway. Then he convinced us to go check at AMC.. the only movie that worked time-wise (it was already like 9:15) was "Derailed" which none of us knew much about. So after much debate and consideration and phone calls to parents we decide to see it. Then the lady Ashley went up to to buy a ticket asks for ID. I was like... oooomg the ONE time anybody gets carded. So Dan and I got tickets then Dan got back in line and bought another ticket from his friend for Ashley haha. Why do they even bother with the 17 rule? Whaaaatever. So "Derailed" was amazing. I'm very glad we saw it, it was an awesome movie! Then it's over at like 11:35 so we all ran out and after dropping Ash off I got in a little after 12. Parents didn't care.

Sooo yeah. That was my Friday. I know I haven't written in here in awhile but I just don't have time anymore. Not like I did when I used to write every day haha. My life pretty much consists of, school, work, homework, and sleep. I try to fit as much of that last one in there as I can. Other than that though life's been good. Got my 4 main college apps in. I'm considering applying to a few more. All I want is College Park. If I get that acceptance letter... omg I'm having a party haha. My life will be just amazing buuuut I won't find that out for a good 3 months. So until then I'm trying not to worry too much about it.

Allllrighty well I'm off to bed. G'night all!

2:51 pm - Less than 7 months left.
I'm sitting here... watching my slow-ass printer print out the FINAL copy of my essay for College Park. I'm just staring at it thinking... THAT's what the admissions people are going to be reading when they decide whether or not I get to go there next year. I wanna get out of high school more than anything. I'm so sick of it. The people, the drama, the need to be "cool".. gah I'm just so sick of it all! Field hockey's over, Homecoming's gonna be over in a week... so I have nothing to look forward to but my admission decision in February.

I just need a fresh start. I've been around the same old people in the same old town since I was like four, and I need new people and a new setting.

Well my essay has printed! Time to seal it up... sigh.

9:07 pm - It's over
I can't believe it's over. Four of the most AWESOME years of my life devoted to Oakland Mills field hockey and it's all over. I had no idea I would be this sad about it! I really didn't think I would but as soon as the ref blew the last whistle today I thought.. "Wow.. that was the last time I'll play an official game of high school field hockey". And, of course, my eyes started to tear up and I started sniffling like CRAZY and I sounded all weird when saying good game to the other team. We did our final lap and went to stretch.. Coach started talking to us and she started crying so of course I started actually crying and Christine and Meghan were too... I don't think anybody really knew I was crying though I was keeping kinda quiet about it. My daddy was there though so he hugged me and I felt a little better then ate one of the best freaking cupcakes I've ever eaten (Amelia your mom rocks =P). I was being soo quiet though and everyone else was talking and stuff and I was just like I can't believe field hockey is over for me! I might play on like a club team in college but it will not be the same at all. OM Field Hockey was just.. like.. my life! For 3-4 months each year it was my life. Now it's done forever and it's really really depressing. I honestly did not think I would be THIS upset. I think I get too emotionally attached to things.. and people. I'm gonna miss hanging out with those kids every day more than anything I think. Field Hockey gals, I love you guys! You're all completely awesome and it was SOO much fun being on the team with you this year. We all need to get together more this year! So yeah.. just felt like writing.. cuz I'm sad.

Here's to you, OM Field Hockey. It's been amazing!

Well I'm telling you now, field hockey girls, you mean a lot to me!

9:33 pm - Blahh
Senior year is turning out to be tre sucky. School isn't too hard but I have a feeling I'm not going to be getting the best grades... I prolly have C's in math and English. Physics isn't too bad but Mr. Parke is awesome so that's prolly why. And of course food and nutrition and sociology are no brainers. But ugh I don't want C's!! I've never had a C as a quarter grade in high school.. cept maybe freshman year.

I guess I shouldn't worry too much.. my main goal this year is to get into College Park. Gah I gotta get my shit together and finish my application! I wrote over half my essay but I still have to get counselor and teacher reccomendations and answer 3 questions. I will get that done this weekend. If I get into College Park my life will become infinitely better. If not, no huuuge deal, I'll just go somewhere else.

But school stress isn't the only reason senior year is letting me down... I feel like I'm losing all my friends =\ And I'm being all anti social.. gahh it's reminding me of middle school and I HATE it. I don't know what the problem is. I don't wanna lose my friends but it's like.. there's either no time to hang out with them or if there is time they don't want to. I wanna get myself out of this social slump before college for sure. I wanna meet a TON of people and that is the main reason I wanna go to College Park. Found out in sociology that 64% of married couples meet in college! That's crazy!!

But yeah. Sadness because.. friends seem less interested and school is rough. That's this year so far in a nut shell =\

Oh but field hockey won yesterday! That was the best thing to happen in quite a while.

7:22 pm - Senior yearrrrr
Well it's official, school has begun! I'm a senior woooo! And as Kelly so kindly pointed out at field hockey practice... this was the last first day of public school ever (for us seniors at least mwahaha)! So I go in... get a "new schedule" which was exactly the same as before haha but whatever. Go to Physics.. see Josh as the only person I know at the moment. Go and sit with him. Meryl came in and I know her from Drama last year so we all sat together then the kid in front of me turns around and is like "Megan? I'm Scott Salvaggio remember me?" I was like "..Scott!!" haha I was friends with him from elementary school through middle school then he went to Germany for 3 years he looked SOO different I was like wow hi! lol. So I know like 3 people in there it's a really small class. Mr. Parke (as everyone promised) seems extremely cool. That'll be a nice class. Thennnn English. Agh AP man! So terrifying it didn't even feel like 50 minutes it went by in a blur. I tried to sit near Becca but then Wright made everyone in the back row move so I was like... ahh the only person who can make this class seem less intimidating being moved away!! But it went by so fast. Blah the only class I have homework for tonight! Oh well.. So then Precalc. Matters actually remembered me I didn't think he would in a million years! He was like "Hey Megan how are you doing?" I was like ".....o.o did Matters just speak to me like a normal human being?" Haha he was nice all period! I wonder how long it will last. Don't know a lot of people in that class but it's all good cuz you don't really have to socialize in Math. So then lunch. A lunch.. I hate A lunch I'm never hungry that early! But it was full of fun people so that was alright. Then Food and Nutrition.. Rachel, Jessica D, and Katie are in my class! haha didn't think I'd have a class with Katie it's awesome. Our teacher is funny she looooves to talk so that's all we did for the whole class. She talked, we listened and asked questions. That's gonna be a fun class. I was kinda bummed though cuz I hadn't had any classes with any of my very good friends yet cept English w/ Becca but I didn't get to talk to her :( So I was like man this is gonna suck I'm not going to be able to see my friends at all during school.. then I walk into Sociology and Ashley's sitting there! Haha it cheered me up so much! I was like yayyyy thank goodness! And Colleen was there too! ...Then CJ! I was like aw man this class is my savior. And I'm already used to Shea and his methods so I think it will be a very fun class. Then Art 1. Ugh I might drop that class and get work release once field hockey's over. So many freshies and the teacher is so dull. But Meredith's in there so I dunno we'll have to see how it goes and how things pan out.

Soooo overall. Not a bad first day. I have a feeling this year's gonna fly by. This day flew by! Field hockey wasn't bad we did a lot of standing around because coach was trying to drill positioning into our heads. Us defenders got it easy the positioning is simple. Scrimmage tomorrow! Woo! At Liberty though.. a whole hour away =\ So anyway.. got home.. ate dinner with the fam and here I am now! I gotta do my homework =\ so I'll be off now. Later!

11:13 pm - Summer's end.
I'm a mix of emotions.. I think I have that condition where you get depressed when seasons change. But I adore autumn so I shouldn't be too upset. I just can't believe that my last summer as a high school student is over. I don't really WANT to go back to school but at the same time I'm totally ready. I gotta get my ass in gear and work on those college applications. The sooner I know where I'm going next fall, the better. I can't WAIT till college. I wanna leave high school. I don't like a lot of the people in our school and I'm very happy I only have to spend one more year with them. Then again.. there are a select few people that I've met through school that I absolutely love! And I don't want to leave them. I know I'll stay in touch with them and I still have an entire year before we all leave but seeing all of '05 leave makes me realize that we're next! It's sad.. but life goes on I guess. I know I'll love college and it will be INFINITELY better than high school.

Okay enough emo crap. So yeah! School starts in approximately 56 hours? THRILLED to finally be a senior! My first half of the day is gonna suck.. every day... but then after lunch it's all BS =P Field hockey's been going well. We're bigger and better than any year I've played yet it seems! My mile time is not quite up to par.. especially considering I've been able to run it faster in the past.. but hey, with age comes slowness. I can still play the sport I just can't run as fast as everyone else. This is exactly why I am on defense! Plus I just like defense better. So we have not one, not two, but THREE scrimmages tomorrow between 7AM and 1PM. Oh joy, oh rapture. Waking up at 6:30 is TOTALLY how I want to spend my last Saturday of summer. I guess the fact that we actually get to play is a nice incentive. Yeah, I'm completely psyched. I want us to do well this year. I want us to be what everyone talks about. It may or may not happen but whatever... I'll still have fun. So on that note.. I need my rest. Oy. Last friday night of summer and I'm in bed before 11:15. Whatever! G'night!

12:48 am - Hello all!
Ahhh I haven't updated since VA Beach! How crazy is that?

Well my summer hasn't been terribly exciting. I've pretty much been chillin... hanging out with a few people... going the gym occasionally. I regret not getting a job. REALLY regret it. I have very little money and I've been pretty damn bored. So next summer I'm definitely getting myself a job (and not with Howard County I don't wanna work 40 hours a week).

Ocean City with my two lovelies was very fun! We went up with Kate a day later than my parents. Instead of going last Sunday night we went to a party at Kate's friend's house. That was fun. We were the youngest people there haha. Ash, Becca, and I rode on 4 wheelers with the 2 youngest guys there! One of them kept hitting on Ashley lol.. so funny. The party was fun though I'm glad Kate took us. That night we got home and Kate was hanging out with two of her friends.. so I got online and talked to Mike and he was having a sort of party at his house cuz he was home from camp and his parents were gone. It was like 10:30 and he said we should come over so I figured my parents aren't home why not. It was cool seeing him again but we made it home before midnight cuz I didn't wanna keep him from his friends and I didn't know any of them. So back at my house Becca made us watch Dane Cook.. who was really quite hysterical. Then they went to sleep in the guest room.. well sort of went to sleep. After a really long time. Then I slept in my room, got up at like 8:30 and packed. We were outta the house by 11:30. At the Condo like 3 hours later.

I'm gonna speare the tiny details of the trip; otherwise I'd be typing forever. We went to the beach every day there cept the last day. We'd sleep late and start the day off by going to the beach! The first day was cloudy so the scopes guy came and we decided to get scopes. They were very cute. So after the beach each day we'd go home and shower then go out. We went to the boardwalk / pier a lot. Rode on rides, played games. I fell in love with a carnie. This blonde Russian guy.. ahhhh he was gorgeous and his accent was to die for. We went by his game at least 3 nights and he was there every night. We played it once and it was damn near impossible. Of course HE could do it.. nobody else though. Seriously though, I wanna marry him =P

Thursday night we went to H2O.. well.. H2O2. It was soooo fun! It reminded me a lot of homecoming or prom cept not formal lol. They played all the rap hits and everyone was dancing. Cept the single guys.. they lined up along the walls and stood there. So they were having ladies only in the cages.. Ash got in one! And she looked very good cage dancing haha.. then right after she got out they locked the cages and made all the girls in them dance in a "Ms. Drop it Like it's Hot" contest. She was happy she wasn't in it but I bet she would've done fine! So then we went and got drinks.. got back out and danced some more.. sat down again. Bec and Ash were sitting together and I was in an empty set of seats by myself. So this guy walks over and says "Is this seat taken?" I was like "Nope" Then he asks me why I'm not dancing, I said my friends are tired so he was like come dance with me then! Haha it was cool he was kinda cute. Had a shaved head though and I prefer guys with hair.. but whatever. Name was Matt and he was a student at Drexel haha I was like ooooh an older man. Then he asked if he could buy me a drink but I honestly wasn't thirsty and didn't ant him to waste his money so I was like "Nah I'm good thanks" then he was like okay thanks for the dance and walked away he was extremely nice though. Then I turned around and saw Ash dancing with this guy... and she was like trying to pass him off to Becca or I. His friend started dancing with Becca and I told Ashley I was tired so we walked away then becca came chasing after us yelling at us for leaving her with that guy hahaha. So yeah spent the rest of the night dancing or standing around. They turned the foam on at one point so we went over for a bit and played in the foam. Then we left and were home by midnight.

So other than that we just went to the boardwalk a lot. My parents took us all to Phillips for their anniversary. Ahhh it was amazing. I didn't think I liked seafood but it was AWESOME.

One night we got the Olde Time Photos done. We were pirate chicks haha. They turned out very cute. Very pricey but very cute.

I guess that's all to really say. It was tons of fun I'm so glad my two best friend could accompany me :D And chillin with Kate was cool she definitely helped us have more fun. We got home promptly around 3 on Sunday.. and that was that! I kinda miss it but not too terribly much =P

So Field Hockey tryouts have begun! It's been 3 days so far and we've run the mile 3 times -.- Coach decided that we're going to run it every day until 1/3 of the team makes it in under 7:45. I'm getting slower as I age so my mile time stinks right about now.. so I'm not gonna make it any time soon. Hopefully 6 more people will so we can stop this nonsense. I am excited for the season though. Senior year baby! It's all about us =P And hopefully I'll get to be a captain. The competition is rough but I think we all have pretty even chances.

So that's that. Long update wee. Now I'm off to bed so I can wake up in 7 hours and run another mile! G'night!

1:54 am - What a week!
So last week was Virginia Beach with Ash. T'was fun! I'll write about it...

So thursday night. Haha that was an adventure all on it's own. Kate drops me off at Ashley's and I'm greeted by her and Becca. Kate leaves, so the 3 of us go down into the little field where they had just set off a LOUD firecracker. They set off another one, I just stood there and watched. Then Ash's phone rings. I run up the hill to see who's calling... then all of a sudden I hear "Oh shit! Run!!!" And I look up at the street, see a cop car, see Ashley take off in one direction, Becca take off in another, and instantly just run behind Becca. Hahahaha omg this was insane. So Becca and I run across the bridge then she ran into the woods so I followed. We go quite a few feet in. It was dark and these were pretty thick woods, so she got behind a tree and I just got down on the ground and went fetal position. The cop car finally drove away but then all of a sudden another cop car came driving down the path that we had run down! We just stayed ducked where we were for like 20 minutes. Becca said the cop car even sat with it's lights off for a few minutes right around where we were hiding. Thank God we didn't move. Oh and I was holding Ashley' cell phone this time so I thank Lord a million times that nobody called her. Haha that would have SUCKED! So finally it's real quiet and we hear Ashley going "Becca! Becca!" So we went up the path and it was her and her mom hahaha. Her mom was quite understanding. Though she told Ashley this was her one stupid thing she could get away with =P What a night. Ashley was covered in scratches, Becca lost her flip flops, I was just flippin out. They're both covered in poison ivy now.. I have some nasty bug bites that have been with me all week. Man. Craziness!

Anyway.. so Becca went home. Ashley and I stayed up till like 3 AM cuz she WOULD NOT LET ME SLEEP! Gr. Then at 5:30 her parents woke us up. We got in the car and we both fell asleep.. we slept almost all the way to VA Beach. We got there around 11 and drove around awhile. Got lunch, walked around. Then got into the hotel room. It was really nice. Ash and I slept on the pullout couch in the living room. That first day.. hm what did we do? It's hard to remember. Okay I don't remember. Saturday we got breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Then I believe we went to the beach. Then the pool probably. There was a cute boy with glasses in the pool. He had a tattoo.. Ashley finally asked him what it said. He and his friend were playing with one of those pool torpedos and it kept coming by us so we kept throwing it back to them. I don't remember if any of this is completely correct. Anyway Saturday night was fun. We rode the trolley down to like 15th street. We saw Sonny and Cher impersonators. Some old man talked to us then asked if we were sisters cuz we had "a strange resemblance in the eyes" ...our eyes look nothing alike but okay =P It was funny we were walking around and this one guy, who was pretty cute, was like "Green Day? What the hell?? They suck blah blah" cuz I was wearing my Green Day shirt so I was just like "Whatever Green Day's awesome!" Then a few minutes later another cute guy walked by and he goes "Green Day woo!" I was like "They're awesome" and he was like "Yeah they're awesome!" haha. He won.

Now I don't remember any details of Sunday. Or Monday really... gah I remember all the stuff that happened just don't remember exactly when it all happened. Tuesday we went to Busch Gardens. It was awesome. We went on all the big roller coasters.. I love roller coasters. And that was where I got my tan! Hooray for losing paleness.

One night we were walking around after dinner and this group of guys (most of them were cute too) walked by and one of them winked at us and another one said "Wassup ladies?" Haha Virginia Beach is so full of guys! It was fun. Oh Ash and I got those Old Time Photos done. We were showgirls. With guns and booze. Hot. Haha but the pics were cool so we each got a little one of the both of us and I got a big one of theone that was just me. My parents love it lol so it was like a present =P

We also did a haunted house one day. Oh my God it was HORRIFYING! It was a walk through haunted house so that right there makes it like 10 times worse.. then I said something to Ashley and I said her name out loud so one of the actors was like (in a realllly creepy voice) "Assshleeeyyyy" and she screamed. Haha it was scary but amusing. It was like pitch black though so I was really freaked out. We got stuck at one point and tried to turn around. I just kept pulling us through though.. agh it was really freaky. We were literally cowering in fear at one point cuz of one of the actors who was like towering over us and screaming.

What else happened? Ash got her second holes in her ears! She was quite excited about that. Ummm what else? We biked around a lot. The hotel rented out bikes free for one hour at a time. We also rented 4 movies and watched them in 2 nights lol. We went to the beach more... we went to the pool more. We did the sauna once. We did the jacuzzi in our bathing suits once. We got paint on tattoos! They were supposed to last 2 weeks and both of ours are already gone. What a fucking rip! Oh well. We trolleyed around a LOT. We went in gift shops a lot. We called our lovely Becca a lot. She was havin fun with her friend Katy though. Uhh, is that all? I guess so. Oh, haha, we ate at Dirty Dicks Crab House.. twice! Ash and her dad love seafood... her mom and I both don't so I wasn't like.. "gasp! the freak who doesn't like seafood!".

Got home Friday afternoon.. hit Bob Evans that night with Becca. Then went to Carabou (?) Coffee. Cool place.

All in all.. fun vacation! Now I just can't wait till the 3 of us hit Ocean City in August! :D

11:32 pm - School's out :D
Okay I'm gonna do the whole week... starting with last Saturday!

Don't remember what I did during the day. I remember there was lots of confusion before like 8. Ash and BEcca were both at my house around like 7, and we had cake and stuff cuz Becca made me an AWESOME cake. This year was funfetti.. It killed last year's cake, and that's saying a LOT! Also had a lovely message on the top hahaha <3 Then Ash and I went to go get Charles. Then off to VIP! It was fun. We met Becca there. It was like 8:45 I guess when we got there. We played pool for like an hour maybe a little more. Becca left a little early then we left and headed back to Charles' house. That was at like 10:15 then we went back to my house. My dad was asleep and then Becca got there with, uh.. a present. :D We all went downstairs and celebrated! At 12 they sang and I got to open my presents. Lots of awesome stuff. I love my best friends! Becca got the pics back yesterday and put them up on her pic site so go there and look! :D http://community.webshots.com/user/hewasnotred

Fell asleep around 12:30.. woke up at 9:45 the next day. It was my birthday! :D Didn't have the best morning for.. various reasons. Went over Ashley's then we met Kate, Marsha, and Becca at Rocky Run. I got a crab pretzel.. yumm... Our waiter was really funny. They brought me my cheesecake shooter with a sparkler and sang to me! It was so awesome ^.^ As we were about to leave the waiter said something about 'going to get drunk' and I was just like "haha yeah!!" And Kate was like "She's only 17!" =P Then the 3 of us went to the lakefront and saw "The Pietasters" for a bit. Much confusion and boredness ensued.. so we then went to the icerink! I didn't fall on my ass! So glad. I thought I was going to haha. Then went home and studied.

Last full day of school! US History final wasn't that bad. Got a B at least. Doesn't matter though cuz I got an A for the quarter and that guaranteed me an A for the year! :D Cannot believe I aced that class. It seemed like the class from hell.

Tuesday was Spanish... I know Chris got an E so there's pretty much no way I got the B that I needed for an A overall. Blah whatever. I got a B overall no matter what. Then Psychology. We already took part 1 and I got an A. She said if we got an A on that we could take the "easy" version for part 2. Basically that meant we could write a bullshit essay. I actually was impressed with my essay. We analyzed Charlie from "Rainman" which was an amazing movie! So I know I got an A on the final and an A 4th quarter. Aced psychology! I'm happy about that.. I'm probably going to get into psychology in the future. I really find it fascinating. Went over to Ashley's that night to study for Science final. Haha we got no studying done. Well no a little bit. Like 20 min total. I was there for like 2 hours! Well, with her for 2 houra. We went to Starbucks and to feed her neighbor's cats.

Wednesday was Drama and Chem. Haha I really did not like what I did for my creative scene in drama. I liked my writing but I didn't like performing it. Whatever. Everyone else did really well I enjoyed watching them! Shea said nobody got less than a B.. so.. hurray! Gonna miss tall Shea!!! :( But we'll see him next year no matter what so whatever. A small part of me will miss drama. Then Chem. Thank God I'm done with Wolkow. She seemed nice but idk she just was weird. Hopefully got an A on the final. I'm sure I passed it. I had the only A for 4th quarter so.. aced that class too! That's why I took regular haha.

Thursday.. last day! Took the Math final. Ms. Cheeks said I got 15/19. That's like a 78.9% >.> But whatever. I got a B 4th quarter so I only needed a D on the final to get an A for the year! Yay. English.. we had a take home final. We analyzed the short story "A Jury of her Peers" which, actually, was pretty good. My essay was alright. I waited till the last minute to write it, which was stupid, but I needed an A on that and an A 4th quarter to get an A for the year so I was like whatever it's not gonna happen I'm not bothering! That class period was interesting. We evaluated the year. Mine was mostly positive cuz I really did like that class. Then we just did nothing. First time all year he let us do absolutely nothing! Jenny brought in a TV and we watched like the first 40 min of The Notebook. I asked them how it ended and they told me... omg so sad!!!! I really wanna see it though! Such a major chickflick but I don't mind chickflicks so much anymore haha. Anyway, so yeah, then school was over! Thank God!

Met Lauren and Chris and Kristi in the bandroom. I drove us all back to Lauren's. We hung out at her place for a while with CJ and Stephanie. Then Jimmy and Steven came and we all went to Chipotle. Chipotle was too crowded so we headed overto Baja Fresh. This was my first Baja Fresh experience so I kept it simple with a chicken quesadilla. Very yummy! They have good chips too. So I like devoured my food and left for work at 12:15. Last day of work for the year! It wasn't too bad. Just seemed like forever. I'm gonna miss my kids though they're so fun! Most of them anyway. So went and got Ashley. Took her to Wendy's... and we went to Blockbuster. Got "Empire Records" and went back to my house to watch it. Took her home then came home and slept!

Today got up at like 12:30 haha. Ashley called to go out to lunch. I had to clean my room and get cleaned upo myself so I left at like 2:30. We had early dinner instead. We went to Panera and got salads. Back to her house...then to my house... then to the mall so she could get her dad a present. We talked to Suncoast guy. Then magically found Becca in American Eagle haha! Back to Ashley's. Becca came and we all went to Centennial pool place. It was fun. Kate was right about the asians! There's a lot of them. The sign said you had to be 18 to enter but they let us play anyway haha. So yeah we had fun. Back to Ashleys' She pretty much passed out so I went home. Here I am now.

What an eventful week! I'm going to bed now. Good night!

10:05 pm - Shouldn't I be like, ecstatic?
The Killers were last night. They rocked. End of story.

I love Brandon Flowers! He's way up on a tier with Davey now. Of course as soon as I see AFI live (if i ever do!) then Davey will be above everyone again. So I left work at 5:30.. parked at the mall and went into Merriweather around 5:50. Found everyone.. sat with them. Mike called me then found me so I said hey to him. That was cool since I hadn't talked to him in awhile. Talked for like 20 min then he left. Some weird lady was on stage when I got there. Then this cool British group called like.. Maximo Park or something. They were kinda fun. Then Louis XIV.. didn't care for them at HFStival, don't really care for them now. Keane.. well I'm not a Keane fan. They weren't bad. Their songs were very pretty but it's not my kinda music. Then FINALLY The Killers came on! Ahhh they were awesome. Played all my favorites! So then at 11 they were done so I walked off to find my car. Could not find it. Becca called then I realized I was lost so she came and helped me find my car! Then I drove home and fell asleep. Fun fun night.

Today wasn't all that great. I was exhausted, Best thing of the day was that I finished US History for the year.. besides the final.. which I'm not too worried about. Shea doesn't try to "get us" on the big tests. Work was crazy.. the kids were being so bad! I've gained confidence in my ability to yell at children though. I used to never be able to yell at anyone now I'll be like "COME OVER HERE AND FIX THIS" or whatever.. and like... half the time they actually listen!

I went home.. the family sent me to get Subway. Went back home, ate and fell asleep. Now I'm just kinda sittin here...

My mommy is leaving me tomorrow for over a week. She won't be here on my birthday, or during finals week. Kinda upsetting. I'm starting to think less and less of my birthday. Nothing terribly exciting is happening. I don't think I'm even doing anything with friends. I get to go out and eat with my dad, sister, and grandma. I don't even want to. I'd rather hang out with my friends but I don't think any of them can. This is probably gonna be one of my worse birthdays. It really sucks come to think of it. I'm usually all happy and excited on my birthday. This year I'm just like whatever. Oh well. I'll be 17.. woopee.

I'm going to go finish Science and go to bed. G'night everyone.

10:43 pm - So....
It seems there's going to be a fifth edition to my household very soon! And no, my mom's not pregnant =P

Grandpa's moving in! I don't really know what to make of this situation. At first he was just going to live nearby which was very exciting, then he changed his mind and wanted to stay in New Jersey. Today we learned that his contract was binding so he's gotta be out by the 30th. So he's moving in here. Don't get me wrong, I love my Grandpa, this is just going to be a huge switch. It takes a lot for me to adjust when he just stays for long visits.. but this is more than just a long visit. My dad informed me that, now, he would MOST likely be a huge part of my life till I move to college. It's going to be tricky to deal with at first but, like everything, I suppose we'll all adjust. It's just a bit much to handle considering my mother didn't even tell me when I got home. Kate told me after I had been home for awhile. Being the youngest, I have a feeling this may be similar to the whole 'mom having a new kid' situation. I don't know. It will be very different, that much I know.

But on a more relaxing note.. school is even closer to being over. Only 1 more US History class left... 2 more Chem classes (and tomorrow we're tie-dying shirts), and 4 more of everything else. We're so close! Tomorrow's going to be awesome. Spanish.. Kristi and I show our powerpoint. Easy. Psych.. probably be doing more stupid stuff about psychological disorders. We already took the final (which I got an A on, despite not recognizing a LOT of stuff on there :D) I don't see why we need to learn more! Then Drama. Hah Drama is a slack class for the rest of the year. I'm probably gonna make up the blocking for my final scene though... (I say that now) Then chem we tie-dye! Easy test in math. Then English.. pretty easy usually. We're getting the story we have to analyze for our final tomorrow, blech. Then field hockey meeting! w00t!

Killers concert tomorrow! ^.^ Becca dear (and everyone else who's going) we're gonna have FUN! Can't wait. Tomorrow's going to be pretty cool for a Wednesday.

With that, I'm off to read sparknotes and pass out. G'night all.

7:37 pm - So damn hot.
So where did I leave off? Ah yeah HFStival. Hah that was like a month ago. Well since then.. uh... I went to Six Flags! Slept at Ashleys the night before then Becca came in the morning and we were off. We missed an exit but due to my amazing navigation skills we got back on track. =P We got there and really the longest line we wait in was the one to get in the park. I had to get my "roller coaster legs" so we went on the swinging dragon. Then we went to Gotham City.. Ash and I went on Joker's Jynx. I looove that roller coaster it's so fun. Then she got me to go on Superman. I'd never been before so I was nervous but DAMN it was awesome! Omgosh it was just such a rush I loved it. Then my allergies started attacking me and I felt really crappy. So Becca and Ash demanded that we leave :( I WANTED to go on Two Face. Oh well.. next time I suppose. I slept on the way home. I felt like such utter crap, I was out. Then we went to TGI Fridays. That was a fun day.

What else has happened? Uhh, SAT's were Saturday. Oyyy. 4 hours of testing, yet ironically not enough time to finish each section. I finished 2 of them. 2 out of 10! Well I finished the essay too so I guess 3 out of 10. That thing sucked hardcore. Also.. Ashley introduced Becca and I to some pool hall on 40. Went there twice this weekend, that was fun! Um, yeah that's all.

Sooo Field Hockey season is soon. I couldn't be more excited. Senior year, varsity field hockey. Ahh it's gonna be good. We have a meeting on Wednesday. Probably about camps and summer practices. I wanna try out for captain.. along with like 15 other people so It's gonna be tough. I'm really gonna try hard though. I REALLY wanna be a captain. Screw everyone else =P I'm sorry, I love the rest of you, but I really wanna be a captain!! But yeah I have a feeling this season's gonna be really fun. We have to do more team stuff this year.

The Killers concert is also on Wednesday!!!!!!! Agh so psyched about that. I love me some Killers =P Should be fun. Lots of people are going. I am so NOT parking at toby's! Aaaaannnnddddd that's it.

Summer = uber close. This is the last real week of school. Next week is finals. This year went by so fast. Hopefully next year will too. College Park is screaming my name (hopefully). So yeah only a few days till Junior year is over for good! Then VA Beach with Ash! Wooo!

So there you go. I updated. Go me. Now leave me a nice comment or two why don't ya :D

7:32 pm - HFStival 2005!!!
So brief rundown of the past week before I discuss HFStival..

Last Saturday was Mike's prom. T'was fun. I didn't know anybody there cept Mike of course but it didn't matter. Atholton played very good music. Good times!

Don't remember what I did Sunday.. uhh.. school week was long. Boring. Blah. Friday was fun. I selpt till 7:30 then took a shower and went to the Nike sale. It wasso funny cuz like 10 kids from OM were there. Then I saw Ms. Klingner! I was supposed to be in her class at that time hahaha! She finally said hi and was like "You should be in school right now" I was like "So should you" =P So I bought cool stuff! Spent 99 total. They didn't charge me for this $10 pair of shorts but I didn't realize it till Friday night.. oh well haha. So I got a "dri-fit" shirt (just like underarmour), a pair of reversible shorts, a pair of "lilac" shorts which went with this tank top and a jacket that went over it. Then I also got a pair of running shoes. For 99 bucks this was AWESOME! Then I went in to school by lunch time/US History. Shea wasn't even there! Oh well... so Friday night I was trying to go to the dance concert but didn't get in touch with Tiffany and Colleen in time. So Becca and I went to Kohl's and then Coldstone. Then we went to Ashley's house for a few then home. Then Saturday morning..

Got up at 7:30.. showered. Got everything ready then Becca was here promptly at 8:30. We got all our stuff together, went to Hinkles for Ice and Cameras.. then off to HFStival! The drive was very pleasant. We talked to Ash on the phone on the way and it only took like 20 min.. we hit pretty much no traffic. Parking was simple. We had much time to kill and Becca found Amanda. We just hung out around her car and wrote stuff on it with car chalk. This guy sold me a bootleg System of a Down CD for 5 dollars. It was awesome lol. So we went in around noon I wanna say. Between noon and 1. Apparently I bought a pretzel.. I remember getting patted down then they glanced in my purse and let me in. We were trying to find Ashley cuz she just went in too so we're standing around on the phone with her then she walked by and we were like.. ashley! Haha it was funny. Then I believe I got dippin dots. Uh.. yeah it must've been around noon cuz we saw The Bravery and I remember saying they were up at 12:25. Saw some of Louis XIV then I started feeling better cuz Ash and I went out to the street stage to see Jimmie's Chicken Shack and Becca and Amanda stayed in to see They Might Be Giants. JCS was awesome! They played "Do Right" I was so happy lol. Then we met Becca and Amanda by the rain tent.. which was very nice, btw. Becca got a slushie thing... uhh.. we heard Pepper go on. We walked around and looked at clothes and hats and stuff. I helped Ashley find her sister inside so they could watch Garbage then I ran back to the street stage and found Amanda and Becca.. Unwritten Law came on! I adore Unwritten Law. They played my 2 favorites! Seein Red and Up All Night! The lead singer was so funny he was completely gone. He even said "I'm so fucking wasted" =P After they were done we pushed up for Sum 41 cuz you know we thought it'd be cool to be close for them. Aye aye aye! It was insane!!! As soon as Sum 41 started people went CrAzYyYy!! Everyone was pushing at once and the whole crowd was going this way and that and we were getting very annoyed. It took awhile but we finally pushed out. Haha this one guy was standing near me and I was like ahh I wanna get out and he goes you wanna get out? So he pushed someone out of the way and was like "There's a hole, go go go!!" lol.. so we made our way out. Ash texted us to meet her by the Bacardi tent so we're standing there and I feel someone run up and hug me haha I was like hi Ashley. She had been stuck in the Sum 41 crowd too. It was scary for us all! So we went and sat down in the stands. New York Dolls were on and then we watched half of Social Distortion. Then we went down in the crowd and made a chain and followed Amanda so we could get closer. Ashley went up and crowdsurfed to Social D twice. She loved it lol. They finished up and we pushed closer for Good Charlotte. So they finally came on.. I loved them! It started raining during GC and it felt sooo nice cuz it gets so hot down in the pit. Everyone was getting wet but they covered the grass on the field with this tile stuff so no mud. My hair got all wet so I took it down and it was really wavy! I love it like that! Then we saw Amanda go up and crowdsurf away. Then Ashley went up and crowdsurfed away. Then I was like I have to just once! So I asked these guys to put me up cuz I couldn't find the one that had asked me earlier if I wanted to go up. They didn't seem as enthusiastic but they put me up and I went for like one minute. This other girl was up there and I almost flew into her I was like "sorry!" then she helped when I almost fell. I was like "Thanks!!" then kept going. I almost got dropped towards the front but they set me down gently and this guy goes "are you okay??" I was like "Yeah I'm fine!" So I hung out there for a few and contemplated how to get back to Becca.. I just shoved my way back and found her. We went up to Club then and sat down for Billy Idol. Watched his whole performance. Haha damn for a 50 year old man, Billy Idol is hot. He was an awesome performer too. He was like "This is a gigantic fucking audience!" Yeahhh it was. So then we walked around some more.. we decided to leave cuz neither of us like Coldplay and didn't feel like waiting for the Foo Fighters. I bought a TShirt then we went out and cleaned off her car. Talked to these guys in the parkinglot.. they were really cool. Well one them was. They were just asking what bands were on and were wondering why we were scrubbing her car with paper towels lol.. they were like upper 20's though not out age. So then we left.. it was like 9:30 so we got Starbucks then went to Ashley's. Hung out till like 11 then Becca took me home. I crashed.

Ahhh so HFStival 2005 was probably the best yet our of my 3 so far. Can't wait till next year!

So prom was last weekend.. Oakland Mills prom that is.. t'was lots of fun! Woke up around noon haha.. Kate did my nails.. went to Looks to get hair done at 3. Meghan and Christine were both there. Was outta there by 3:45 then came home and kate did my make up, I put on my dress and Mike was here by 5. We went to Meghan's for pictures. Then around 5:30 went to Christines and sat around for awhile. Took some more pics then they served dinner. Omgosh it was sooo good! First shrimp but I don't care for seafood so I let Mike eat mine then salad which was good.. Then the main course which was steak, potatoes, and really good green beans. I ate them all. And they had those fancy crescant rolls ( I know I spelled that wrong ).. and mini eclair for dessert.. it was awesome! Very very cool.. then off to Prom! We were there at like 8:15 and NO ONE was there yet haha. Dan and his girl were there so we sat with them. She seemed nice. Then more and more people started coming and we danced and talked to people it was all good fun. The chocolate fountain was beautiful. Then we left at like 11:50 and he took me home and that was it. I fell asleep, kept my hair in all night, and woke up the next day and it still looked good haha. Becca and Ash came over later and we got pizza cuz my parents were at a concert. We went back to Ashley's for a bit then I went home.

This past school week was boring but it went by fast. Nothing exciting happened.... having yesterday off was quite nice though I must say. Ashley slept over Thursday night. I met her and her friend Vi at McDonalds. Haha some lady asked if Ashley and I were twins! Vi was like "no they're just best friends", haha it was really quite funny. So that was my confidence booster of the week =P Then I dropped Vi off and Ash and I went to see Becca. We went to Target and Starbucks. Then Becca went home and Ashley and I went to Ashley's house so she could get her stuff then went back to my house. We just talked all night it was fun. Fell asleep around like 4:15 then got up at 10:30. DJ picked her up at 11 and I took a shower and stuff then took Becca to work.. then went to work myself. Work wasn't bad at all. When I got there Marsha and Kate were making some cinco de mayo smores on tortilla treat thing. Nigel was playing gameboy lol.. he's the new companion for John (special needs boy) at pointers run so he's there pretty much every day now. Then Marsha left so it was just Kate, Nigel and me. There were only like 5 kids it was nuts. Nigel took the boys in the gym and was beaming them with balls and they beamed him back it was funny. Oh and we had the radio out and it was on 99.5 so I knew all the songs so that made it more fun. 6 rolled around pretty quick and we were out. Around 6:45 I went to Ashley's.. Becca was there.. we ordered pizza. I went to CVS to get pictures then went back to Ashley's. We ate and watched Napoleon Dynamite. Went home around 11. Fell asleep early then woke up today around noon.. went and got Mike's boutoniere (probably spelled wrong) then Kate did my hair. I painted my nails.. he's gonna be here around 5:30 so I'm gonna go finish getting ready. Later!

10:01 pm - Eventfulness!
So I shallstart with the past weekend...... Friday. Worked from 12 - 6 since it was a half school day. That was loads of fun =P

Ash and I went to rent Not Another Teen Movie and Cruel Intentions. They didn't card us! Haha.. guess we look 17 =P Then we went with Becca to the mall. Ate there then went back to my house and watched Not Another Teen Movie. Neither of them had seen it before so they thought it was funny. I love that movie lol... Then we went to Ash's house and watched Cruel Intentions. Wow that was really good! SUCH an unexpected ending... very good very good! Then we slept till like 10 Saturday morning. Ash and I worked on the hot air balloon for chem and Becca went and got us donuts cuz she loves us :D

Went home at like... 2ish? Got ready then went to Mike's at 5:30. We went bowling.. he beat me by 12 freakin points! Then we went to the mall and saw a lot of his friends and talked to them for a bit. They all seemed very cool. Then we went to Chammps (two M's, right?) and ate there. Went back to his house around 9, I left at 10:15, came home, and went to bed.

Sunday I get up and Ash comes over at 1 and we go to Dan's. We work on the hot air balloon till like 4. We only put like 45 min total work into it lol.. this is why friends working with friends always takes FOREVER! So I go home, eat Sunday dinner, then go back to Ashley's till like 8 or 9 to work on the balloon some more. We got a lot done actually.

Yesterday was quick and easy. After school Ash, Dan, and I all met in Wolkow's room to work on it more. We didn't work very long but found out we're much farther ahead than a lot of the groups. The balloon's due on Friday! So then I went to work then back to Ashley's and we finished it. Tested it out.. it flies!

Today was nothing too extraordinary. After school Ash and I went to Wolkow one last time to show her the balloon then hit Starbucks. Hung out at her house for like 20 min then went to work. After work I hit chik fil a really quick then went to the meeting. It was kinda stupid. I really think Marsha could've just explained to me what they said and i would've been good but oh well, I got paid! Now I'm gonna go read and go to bed, g'night all!

current mood: tired
current music: Akon - Mr. Lonely :(
