Hello internet.

I am looking for a new haircut right now. This is harder than it sounds. I'm sure I'll find something, though. I'm thinking about dying it black or really dark and getting some sort of highlights. Haircut-wise, I don't know what I'm looking for. I just need to do something different with my bangs.

So this week was a pretty crappy week. Sort-of.

Last weekend I went up to Chicago for a Coldplay concert. It was OK as far as a Coldplay concert is concerned. I was just disappointed because the next day was an open house at Columbia (I really! want to go there when I'm done at ICC) and it felt like my mom just wanted to get out of there so I didn't really get to explore as much as I'd like to. It was relatively cold, too, and I stupidly decided not to bring a jacket or closed shoes, haha.

Monday I went to the U of I for WYSE but needless to say, I failed. I mean, not completely. I just didn't place or anything. I wasn't really trying, though. I just wanted to get out of school. Sometimes BSing stuff gets you places and sometimes it doesn't. This time it didn't!

I didn't get into the Honors Program at ICC much to my mother's annoyance. I highly doubt I'm going to get any scholarships, either. Not saying that I didn't TRY but I highly doubt they're going to pick the essay on why I want to further expand my career in film over the "I WANT TO BE A NURSE AND HELP PEOPLE!" essay. Just a hunch.

I also got kicked out of Grease which is terribly stupid. I don't want to go into it because I'll just start shaking with anger. It's just ridiculous, that's all.

I'm also not doing the greatest in a few of my classes due to my senioritis. I'll get my act together when I have to but right now I just don't feel like concentrating in school.

I registered for my ICC classes today. My schedule is OK except for hideous Math and Biology. I think I'll be able to get all of my Gen Eds out of the way sooner than I expected which means I might be able to transfer sooner. I just need to get out of here and meet new people with beards.

Well that's all I have to say for now.

What's this? A real update?

Why yes it is!

I would say "I'm sorry for not updating in a while" but I'm pretty positive no one reads this anyways so what's the point in apologizing if no one's listening?

I suppose a few things have happened between now and my last "real" update on January First.

I'm completely over both "cute boys" from that previous entry. It suppose it was fun while it lasted although nothing really happened. I think that's what happens, anyways -- stuff like that never really lasts.

There's a lot of other stuff that's happened but I'm just going to skip over it and hit the "highlights"

I'm Rizzo in our school's production of Grease. I'm actually relatively excited despite that Grease is one big cheese-fest just because I finally didn't get gyped by Mr. Camp and the part really isn't that bad. I actually enjoy it. But don't tell anyone.

I'm going to state for WYSE! Funny story ... the other day I was standing in the hallway about to go to Keyboarding and all I remember was a lot of yelling, waving, and running and before you know it, I was in a car on the way to Bradley to take someone's place because they were sick. I just BS'd the test because I didn't care! I got out of school! But it turns out I placed 2nd and now I'm going to State? Crazy.

My place of employment was leased to another coffee shop and I'm actually slightly excited because I think there might be a slight chance that I'll learn how to barista! I also think I like my new bosses. Think is the key word here because I don't want to come back here later and complain about how much I can't stand them and then have everyone thinking I'm bipolar or something...

UPCOMING EVENTS
Belle & Sebastian/New Pornographers concert tomorrow in Milwaukee. I'm really excited about this concert!!! I think it's going to be really neat/really cute and I'll probably never like another concert more than this one. Not that I know but I have a strong feeling.
Panic! At the Disco concert next weekend in St. Louis. I'm actually slightly embarrassed that I'm going to this concert now ... the only redeeming factor is that hellogoodbye is going to be there and I am going to marry them all, I've decided.
Coldplay concert March 30 in Chicago. I really don't want to go to this concert but my mom lured me in when she said we'd go shopping. The 1st I'm going to Open House at Columbia and if I play my cards right, I might be able to see Casiotone for the Painfully Alone that night. I can't wait until I can drive places myself ...


Tonight was pretty fun! Brenda, Andrew, and I were going to go on a photography adventure but we I decided that I didn't want to get wet and/or muddy so we screwed around downtown for a while, got hot chocolate, traded in a video game found in my car for a Yoshi sucker, and did a little stalking, vandalizing, and thievery, haha. Good times.


Well, anyways, I've got some other things to say but it's almost 2 in the morning so I'm out.

Happy happy HAPPY!

That's what I am right now. I'm not sure why, exactly.

Probably because I just spent a lovely evening with Amy and Carmen.

Perhaps it is because I had two "cute boy" instances today with two different cute boys (one involving music, the other involving movies).

Who cares! I'm in a very nice mood right now! :]


I haven't updated in quite a while. I haven't really had anything of importance to say because I haven't really done anything. I haven't really gone anywhere and nothing of extreme excitement has happened.


So where is the entry going?


Let's just say I love cute little crushes.

So it's 2006 already and I don't feel any different.

Last night I had a New Year's Eve sleep-over type thing. Cathryn, Beth, Amy, Brenda, Carmen, Emily, Sandra, and Carolyn all showed up. At midnight, a few of us rocked in the new year with "Say It Ain't So" and then decided to wish some of my freshmen neighbors a joyous new year. We all conspired with Heather and Cassidy to TP and fork a neighbor's yard. I made a ghost design (seeing as how it is the year of the ghost) and it was really cute! I'm actually very suprised that we didn't get caught, seeing as how I'm positive they saw me when I was standing in front of their window and when Carolyn banged her leg against a metal thing on the side of the house. We didn't do the greatest job of "vandalism" but it sufficed! We are going to plan a stronger attack on someone else in the near future.

So what did I do this past week? Good question!

Carolyn and I were going to go see a movie but we wound up making Spaghetti-O's and zesty curly fries at Stefan's house.

I met up with Carmen, Michael, and Jordan at the mall and then we went to the "ghetto" Wal*Mart and Goodwill. I aquired skeleton gloves and two necklaces!

Went out to eat for Jeff's birthday. My mother and I proceded to taunt Jeff.

Saw Memoirs of a Geisha with Brenda. It was a very pretty movie but I think if I hadn't read the book, I would have been bored. After we got out of the theater, it was quite foggy!

Carolyn and I went to Stefan's again to make macaroni & cheese (in the shapes of Spider-man, Scooby Doo, and Spongebob!) and then wound up at Danny's house and watched them play bumper pool. I told myself I'd never sit around at any of their houses and watch them do something stupid again but this is definitely not going to become a routine thing. :B

I had the house to myself because my family went to Milwaukee for my mom's friend's mom's funeral. I stayed home because I had to go to work. Carmen came over because my mom wanted someone to stay with me and we ate pizza with my Narnia friends and laughed about Lil Jon and hypothetical Keyboarding class situations.

I went to see The Producers with Amy, Sandra, and Brenda. It wasn't very good -- much too long! We then tried to take silly MySpace pictures and were approached by a creepy lady with a big tub of popcorn and frightening teeth.

School starts on Wednesday. I hope I readjust my sleeping schedule to that of a normal human being by the time I have to go back to school.

Here's this little New Years survery that I filled out last year. I thought it'd be funny to do it again :]
( Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn as 30 dialouges bleed into 1 )

So what are my resolutions?
!!! Listen to all of my CDs
!!! Expand my vocabulary
!!! Learn how to sew
!!! Aquire a Poloroid camera
!!! & a few other things.

Have a wondrous 2006.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Or, if you don't celebrate Christmas, how about a nice
Have a wonderful 25th of December!

Now that we have the formalities out of the way, let us go on.

Yesterday afternoon, I escorted my sedated mother to a family gathering for my dad's side of the family. There, of course, is a reason my mom was sedated and why I tried very hard to fall into a deep slumber hours before the gathering. The family gatherings for my dad's side of the family are TORTURE. All of my relatives lack a sense of humor, they're blissfully unaware of the bigger picture, and their brains lack the part which allows its user to think outside the box. My mom and I are very much the black sheep of the family. It's always depressing, going to my grandma's house.

"So what did you get for Christmas?" I'm sure you're all wondering.
Several band t-shirts (Bright Eyes, The Unicorns, The Postal Service, Panic! at the Disco)
A fairy patterned t-shirt
A Harajuku Lovers short sleeved hoodie (it has ears on the hood!)
The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack
Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus (IT'S IN 3D!)
A Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus DOLL (It's just what I've always wanted!)
Two My Little Ponies (one from my mom, one from my brother ...)
Night of the Living Dead ... the '90s remake! (Exciting!)
A piano keyboard belt
A tokidoki purse (it's very very cute!)
An iTunes gift card
... and some weird crap from my brothers.

We went to go see King Kong today. It was very long.
I saw Fun with Dick and Jane on Friday. It wasn't very funny.

I've been on a White Stripes kick for a few days now (heh.)


Now that I have a week of nothing to do, I'm going to ORGANIZE MY ENTIRE MUSIC COLLECTION! There has to be some way to make all of my music more easily accesible and organized. I need to think of a process that would be optimal for making mixes more easy. I've got over a week! Do you think she can do it?

So if you, dear reader, are bored and have nothing to do, I give you full permission to give me a call. TRUE! I have more important things to do like sitting around and listening to music while doodling in my sketchbook. But I think I will probably be able to squeeze you in sometime.

Signing off!
Lauren

Lately, I've been in a relatively good mood. I'm not sure why, but what's the point in questioning such a thing?

I found a Homecoming dress that I really like. I was going to wear my IZOD dress but my mom said that she didn't like it and that I would look "so much cuter" in an actual dress.

( There is a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress )

It looks better when you can actually see it.

Saturday we had our first Scholastic Bowl match of the season. We lost (of course) but I actually answered some questions correctly. After the match, my mom took me, Stefan, Carmen, Carolyn, Zach, and Daniel to go get lunch. We left without permission because we didn't think it would matter since we assumed the JV team was going to go on. That wasn't a good idea and Mrs. Kepple was very ... irate. Oh well! It was hilarious. I think this year, Scholastic Bowl will be fun. :]

Let's see, it seems that I should have something else of "importance" to report on but I don't.

So I'll go now.

Good-bye!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. I can't say mine was enjoyable nor memorable, but that's Thanksgiving for you, eh? Just a prelude to Christmas.

I am extremely bored right now. Brenda and I had an unsuccessful night of adventuring. We weren't even out for more than five hours. Everyone failed us!

I think that's a sign that this entire Thanksgiving "break" will be an extremely uneventful one. Last night, really late last night, I started to read The Fountainhead (which contains over 600 pages) and I've gotten pretty far along in my reading. That's how bored I am. It's a book about architects. How exciting is that? Not very.

Bah.

Anyways.

I guess I'm going to Homecoming with Nolan. He's a Freshman and he's kind-of cute ... in a Freshman kind-of way. I'll see if I can get him to dress up like Richie Tenenbaum. My plan would be complete! Haha.

Umm.

I'm at a loss for words.

So I'll leave now.

Goodbye.

ihaveareallybigproblemkeepingmymouthshut.

Tonight was invigorating!

Ten minutes after we leave the house for the Nintendo Fusion concert (Fall Out Boy, The Starting Line, Boy's Night Out, Motion City Soundtrack, and Panic! at the Disco), it finally soaks in to my mom that this isn't an orchestrated concert! This has nothing to DO with Nintendo! And she's wasting 5+ tickets on a group of people that won't even appreciate the concert! This angers us both.



We get to the concert and we make it just in time for P!atD which made me glad.
Their set list:

The Only Difference Between Martydom and Suicide is Press Coverage

But It's Better if You Do

I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off

Time to Dance (!!!)
That's it. Five freaking songs.



My mom's friend was "offended" by the cuss words in the song and the part where Brendon said that he was no good talking about sex (like the rest of the audience was ... and they seemed to agree with their loud cheers) but he was good at singing about it and broke into "Lying Is ...".

Which is understandable.

But you know what? We could have avoided this problem a long time ago if only I could have let some of my friends come instead of "young ears."

So I got my t-shirt and we left. That's right. All I saw was Panic! at the Disco. I'm not complaining. I haven't even heard any songs by most of the bands and I really don't care for Fall Out Boy (I apparently was in the minority judging by the disgusting amount of fan girls.) It wasn't even that good. I mean, it WAS good but Brendon (the lead) told us that he was recovering from the flu. But I heard Time to Dance so all is well.

Whatever.

Thursday night was Harry Potter night. Amy and I went to Kelsey's house at 9 for Susan's suprise birthday party. I saw Jimmy Malone there. I was in a play with him once. He had a friend with him, Ray, and he was pretty cute. He had a lip ring (+) but he smokes (-) but it doesn't matter because it's just another Lauren crush which equates into nothing.

Goblet of Fire was OK. I mean, it wasn't all that great and it seemed really rushed. I didn't HATE it, I just didn't care for it that much. I got home at like, 3:30 and got maybe 3:15 hours of sleep. Whooo.

Friday, Carmen, Sondra, and I went to go see Brenda's play and it was wonderful! PCS definitely has a top notch drama department (at least, compared to Brimfield's ...). I was afraid that people I never liked would come up to me and make small talk ("OH MY GOD! LAUREN! HOW ARE YOU?") but fortunately I evaded small talk. I gave Carmen and Sondra a tour of sorts and we ended up swinging on the swingset outside. Brenda joined us in going to Steak 'n' Shake where Brenda and I flirted with middle school boys. Then we took Brenda home and went to Wal*Mart because that's just THE place to be on a Friday night.

Sondra's a sweetheart.

That's about the extent of the "exciting" things that have been happening to me.

Guten nacht.

(PS I want a lipring. Fake. Real. I don't care.)

Well, it seems I haven't updated in over 10 days so I suppose now would be a good time to update.

It's not that nothing has happened that has been worth updating.

I just seem to be spending all my online time with a stupid little something called MySpace.


I've seen several movies but none are worth ranting about. (Besides the fact that Jason Schwartzman is clearly a better choice than Steve Martin when it comes to lovers ...)

I hate to have more than one person at the top of my bad list at a time, but it seems that it has happened. How is it that everyone seems to be an expert at being annoying all of the sudden?

Homecoming is approaching us which means there are more than necessary Student Council meetings during homeroom. Also, as much as I'd like to go through with my "ultimate revenge plan", I don't see it happening. But for some reason, I kind-of sort-of want to go even if my revenge plan doesn't fall through. Is something wrong with me? YES, I'D HAVE TO SAY SO.

It's suddenly very cold outside. I don't know why I wanted it to be cold outside. If there was snow outside, I don't think I would mind because I really like snow but cold without snow just seems senseless.

Well, I suppose that's all I'm going to say.

Farewell.

This week has been a very strange one.

I stayed home from school on Monday.
-I completed my Margot Tenenbaum costume.
-My costume was spectacular. (I'll try to post pictures someday) No one really got who I was, though.
-Wandered around town with Brenda.
-Saw Saw II with my mom.
-I didn't go to play practice.

All week, we've had play practice. It hasn't been fun. I gave Mr. Koll a piece of my mind on Tuesday. I think I freaked him and everyone else at practice out because I rarely do that. It felt nice.

I haven't been to work in almost two weeks so I expect a paltry excuse of a paycheck next Friday.

Last night was our first performance. I noticed that everyone seems to have some sort of "fear"/"respect" for all the other seniors in the play except for me. Because I just sit there and reiterate the fact that I'd rather be anywhere else than here. I love acting like that.

After the play, I opted out of "hanging out with all my awesome drama buddies" and went to Baker's Square with Carolyn and Brenda. It was fun in a very minimalistic way. Then we went to Wal*Mart to find Alex but alas, we did not find him.




OH, and for the record, guys are assholes. I didn't want to use that term but it seems most appropriate. Let's just say that I'm completely, utterly, profusely over someone. Because it's not cute when you blatantly flirt with someone and then a few weeks later act like that never happened and act like you wish that never happened.







Well, maybe another update later.

Dear friends,

I apologize for being in such a sour and cynical mood for the past few days/week/weeks. How about "for a very long time." Or we could try for a "as long as you've known me."

I just seems that like whenever something may be going even remotely correct, someone throws a curveball and everything is set off balance.

So I apologize if I have been acting crass. I apologize for complaining (even more than usual).

I'm just a little stressed out. I'm a lot disappointed and I'm extremely confused. But who isn't, right?

It's just that as time goes on, people change. And sometimes those people that you used to get along with so well start to bother you to an extreme. And people that used to bother you are tolerable (even more so than those that used to be). And I think that sometimes we all have a hard time grasping this concept (changing, that is). But it's something that happens and it's something we don't have control over.

And sometimes you tell yourself that once you've overcome an obstacle, things will get better. But guess what? Things will never get better because you can never get rid of obstacles. And in some cases, the obstacles become larger the longer you continue. And then you just have to tell yourself that whatever is over that obstacle really isn't worth the fight. Sometimes it is worth the fight. But you have to chose your battles and you have to discern what's worth your time.

That's what's been on my mind as of late.

Sincerely,

Lauren

Yurie no longer lives at my house and I honestly don't think that I will ever hear from her again. My flow of Japanese gifts has been cut off (which makes me sad) and I now have my room/life to myself (which makes me glad). The whole exchange student thing just wasn't a good idea, I suppose.

Thursday I had my senior pictures taken. I'm frightened to see what they look like because I absolutely hate pictures of myself.

Yesterday, I went to lunch with Cathryn, Amy, and Carmen and then we had a nice roll ... err ... stroll through Bergner's. Later I went record shopping with Brenda and then we and Amy went to go see Stay which, visually, was a treat. I didn't exactly understand the plotline but it was a relatively good movie. I don't think I was moved as much as Brenda was but then again, when am I ever moved by anything.

I re-took the ACT this morning at ICC. My nose was running and I didn't really feel like re-taking it. I think I might have done well but who am I to say? I probably did really bad and I'll just have a big laugh about it because it's at my school's expense.

I then took Jared out to eat for lunch because he's been sad about Yurie leaving. The guy at the Steak 'N' Shake drive-thru was hitting on me, apparently. I didn't realize that until I told my mom. I never realize anything like that, to tell you the truth.


Well, so long.

Let's see. What has happened in the last week?

I watched several movies last weekend. My favorites were Rushmore and Fight Club.

I went to an old people party at which I played shuffleboard and made some groovy tunes on an organ.

My car was cheesed (with generic Cheez Whiz) and the two easiest trees to climb in my entire yard were TP'ed. I laughed thoroughly at the amateur job until I found out that it was just Daniel who did it. Creepy.

I got my hair cut. And I mean I got my hair cut. It's quite a change for me but I like it.

I failed in my attempts to call someone to see if they wanted to see a movie. I have since decided to lay low and let him make the next move (if that's what he's doing in the first place).

I went to play practice for the second time. We're screwed. :]

I've downloaded about 10 CDs in Keyboarding II class.

Thursday was the Youth Group/Death Cab for Cutie concert. Karly was going to go but couldn't at the last minute. It was just Brenda and I. I fully realized the fact that whereas I am not a claustrophobic person I absolutely HATE it when people touch me. The concert was very nice. It was in a very small theater so it was (as some random person in the merch line stated) a very "intimate" setting. Youth Group was fairly good. Their music sounds like the music that's playing in the background in movies when people make out (So basically, I bought a make-out album. Anyone doing anything this weekend?). Death Cab was cute. As Brenda put it, Ben Gibbard has some pretty "fancy footwork." It wasn't as fanatical as Weezer but that can be expected. After the concert, YOUTH GROUP SIGNED MY T-SHIRT. I like them.

(I don't have any Death Cab pictures seeing as how my camera ran out of batteries)

Scholastic Bowl meeting in homeroom.

I built watched Danny, Jacob, and Brent build a Chinese temple in Modern. Thank you, Amy. That was the most amusing group I've been in in a long time.

Chinese food for dinner last night. Rest assured. The left-overs are in my refrigerator, not on someone's car.

Amy & I saw The Fog last night. Not because we wanted to but because we're just ... strange. We exited the theater quickly before they could catch us. Ha.

After a trip to Wal*Mart we drove by Stefan's house and they were all (and I mean ALL. All seven of them) standing on his front yard. We tried waiting it out for a while but they came after us. We then embarked on a half-hour car chase around Kickapoo. We were finally cornered because we forgot to take a turn. Ah well. It was amusing.

That was my past week, in bullets.

And now a picture.

Yesterday, I saw Weezer for the second time in less than three months (!!!)

Kaiser Chiefs opened for them but I only took one picture and it was very crappy. They were very delightful, however.

It was a very wonderful concert. I danced as hard as I could and I sang as loud as I could. I have a very stiff neck and my voice didn't come back until around lunchtime today. (My "Hash Pipe" dance was the best)

It was a Weezer/Foo Fighters concert, but we left before Foo Fighters came on because the majority of us don't like the Foo Fighters/were too tired to stand around. I feel bad because Emily wanted to see them but I decided we should leave. :[

Next week : Death Cab for Cutie! (♥)

Things aren't going to great at home. Yurie thinks I hate her and this is stressing my mom out. I know all I do is constantly complain about Yurie and there are times when she's OK (I just don't mention them) but I, in all honesty, wish she would go live somewhere else or that I could move to the basement.

After our leftover Chinese food escapade last Friday, I have received several threats and pointed fingers (as have many people who weren't even involved!) IT WASN'T MY IDEA!

I had a lovely conversation tonight with Carmen after "play practice" and I quite enjoyed it.

All I can say is that I can not WAIT for the weekend. It can't and won't come soon enough.

Oh, hello.

I'm just a slut.

And because I'm so attention-starved, I don't care.





Anyways.
I've used about a quarter of a tank of gas in about 24 hours but it was a quarter of a tank well spent.
Last night we had quite an adventure of driving around, buying silly things, and watching badminton hopefuls. I ended up amassing a wig, a New Kids on the Block cassette tape, random second hand jewelry, leftover Chinese food, and a phone number. All in all, a very good night indeed.

However, the same cannot be said about tonight. I get off of work at exactly 8:30, went to rent a movie, and then called up Brenda. We were in the process of going to see Broken Flowers when the aforementioned phone number came to mind. I called and instead of a clear response as to whether they had interest in seeing a movie I receive a "Hey, did you get that badminton net?" "No, would you like me to get it for you?" "Yeah, sure. That'd be great." After a strange situation that led up to the aquisition of said net we were greeted by an even stranger zombie-esque reception of the net. After such, we decided it would be best to part ways and in the end, I did end up seeing Broken Flowers.

If you're wondering, it wasn't very good. The ending was superb but that's about it. I've had enough Bill Murray for a few months.


So that is what my past two nights have entailed.

Until we meet again.

What a pleasant evening.

UNCHI - THE REVISITING
is coming soon.

Yes, quite soon. I'll have a tentative movie poster up post haste.

Brenda & I made a rough draft of the "script" and I will put the finishing touches on it tomorrow.


I am now the Secretary of the Senior Class. Bow before me, mere mortals, for the impossible has been accomplished.



I think I made Cathryn mad today. I told her I wasn't coming to practice tomorrow because I have to work and this was pretty much our conversation*:
Cathryn: "Are you coming to practice tomorrow?"
Me: "No. I have to work."
Cathryn: "Do you REALLY have to work."
Me: "Yes, I do. From 3:20-close."
Cathryn: "Well, you better start coming to practice or he'll give your role to someone else."
Me: "Oh well."
Cathryn: "Do you even want your part?"
Me: "No. I just tried out to see if I could get it."
Oh, it was pretty funny. For some reason, lately, I have no qualms about making people mad.
*I was going to make a visual aide but my mouse doesn't work in a way that allows me to draw.

Well, other than that, I have nothing else to say. Goodbye.

PS -- I am officially boycotting reading reviews of movies and CDs until I form an opinion of my own because I realized that by reading other people's opinions before forming your own jades the experience. Which is pretty much a "DUH" statement but I am slow so please forgive me.

Honestly --
I'm tired of having an exchange student sharing a room with me and following me everywhere. I'm tired of my mom yelling at me when I don't interact with her even though she's not entirely my responsibility and it's not my job to keep her entertained.

I don't want to be in the play this year because Stefan and Austin aren't going to be in it. And before someone takes that out of context, think about it: it won't be near as entertaining without them. I also don't want to be in it because I don't think I'll get a good part and there are a bunch of morons trying out for it. BAH.

I love Art class. I wish I had Art class everyday because I love creating things.

I hate keyboarding class. It's too slow for me.

I have a newfound interest in reading books. I can't get enough books. The sad part is, I've been spending gas money on books and now I really can't drive anywhere besides school or work until I get my next check.



I'm sick right now. I have a horrible cold. I hate waking up after I sleep because I feel awful. I don't think I'm going to go to school tomorrow for the first half of the day.

I had a CD burning party last Sunday. Perhaps it wasn't a party but CDs were burnt. I shall have to have another one with more people once I acquire more CDs.

That is all I have to say.

Oh, that and
"I'll crack your baldy head! And I know you're baldy!"

You know when you want to put something semi-significant and meaningful but somehow rude and blunt in your journal but you just can't do it?

I've been staring at this computer screen for quite some time now trying to say several things but I have no idea how to say them. I'm not sure if they're entirely appropriate things to say and I'm not sure if I want everyone to read everything.

So let's just say that some things are annoying me to no end. I wish to sleep on the sofa for the remainder of the school year. I wish I could channel some people out until they've recovered from their phases. I wish that some people would just make up their minds. And not just one person but several.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Cathryn's on Sunday was delightful. Perhaps it was because I was on some sort of caffeine/sugar high. Those who attended can attest to that. I especially enjoyed the golf cart and the prank calls from Jesus.



I like working. It's an escape from everything.



We are watching the movie Elizabeth in Modern World History and I enjoy it a lot.




That's all I have to say right now.
