How-DEE!

Well, it's been an awfully long time since I have written! I have so much to say and write about, such as both my trips to Nashville in detail (my parents took me again this summer, yay!), hanging out with Tom in Myrtle Beach, friends and family and relationships, and just how busy my life has become. But you know what? I really don't feel like writing all of that. All I have to say at the moment, that will sum up my recent past, present, and future, is simply: Dracula and Frida are both interesting movies. I have a job. I have a crush on Brandon. Tom and I are not meant to be, I can feel it, but I am trying my best to be fine. I'm so totally screwed up, but oh well. And last but not least, I will be joining orchestra this year (no more chorus), and I cannot wait to finish Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! *grins*
So..yeah...my life is screwed up, so am I, and so goes my future. But hey, even though this may sound selfish and thoughtless, I'm happy, and all my loved ones seem to be... Is there anything else we really need? -

School is almost out! Only a few more exams (and easy ones, at that, even though Coach Ball never did give us what we need to study... ^^;;). A lot has happened lately. I'll try to cover what I can remember... going to the mall with Tommy and Jesse, Thom getting out of school to go see The Matrix: Reloaded with his brother Ryan and their mom, I've been eating lots of cookies and Coke recently (for some odd reason), watching many Disney movies after discovering where more than half of them are, trying to find where my dad put The Three Caballeros, going to start up piano lessons and voice lessons from Mrs. Wimberly and Ms. Taylor as well as a summer job where my dad works, somehow becoming next year's Concert Choir historian/letter point keeper and website manager, T.A.C.O.'s secretary, I now own Italy, my family might go to London or San Francisco this summer, I can do ponytails once again since I got my hair cut, and um... Jesse = Ray Charles! ^_^
That's about it...except I got Jay's new phone number, my Grandma is traveling across the nation, I might get a new cell phone, I have a bike (yay), I got to see Rosina recently, I lettered in chorus, we have an anime club, KHAT is going fine, Percussion Ensemble's STOMP-like performance was spiffy (especially with the black lights), and I get to help out in the chorus room for the rest of the week after finals. ^_^
JOY!!!!! ........... :D -

I am not in the mood to talk to anyone for some reason. I cannot put my finger on it. What's wrong with me? I was having such a good day, too. I get Jay's new contact information, we have no test in World Geography, we get answers to a worksheet in Biology, we have fun during lunch and I get lots of laughs. An easy, fun day. What happened? I feel strange. Sick, not sad, angry?, crushed, the words are not coming to me easily...
Somebody please call. Seven minutes left! The number is screaming at me! 7, 7, 7! My phone call recieving curfew will be up soon!
And there's this guy at Kell... He looks like Peter... It's creepy... I see him all the time on the way to Spanish. It's like you always know he will be there. I never see him with anybody, never talking, always silent and akward and alone. Nobody has mentioned him, nobody has acknowledged him, but maybe when Courtney and I were talking about it, was that him? Or was it one of the other kids that is slightly familiar to this person that is frequently haunting the halls of my high school? What is this, who is this, this ghost man, this reflection of a boy now dead...? -
Been So Long

Spring Break has been over for almost two entire weeks now, and here I am with more than one guy crushing on me, struggling to pass math with a halfway-decent grade, reading my overdue library book called The Lovely Bones, and putting up with lots of stupid people (especially some boys I know).
The weather down here is crazy; last Friday, we had a tornado watch, and then yesterday morning at 5:30 pm, we have the first earthquake in Georgia for nearly 30 or 40-something years. A lot of people seemed to sleep through it, some thought it was the end of the world, and Ranu thought her bed was possessed; it was also the worst earthquake to hit the state, which is good because nobody got hurt. It scared the crap out of me, but my mom was not phased by it because she had been in more than one earthquake when she lived in Japan.
Thom has been calling me everyday now; it's great and all, but I don't want to make it get on his nerves, and it's probably making his brother Ryan think that we should go out even more (as well as becoming angry because he also wants to use the phone once in a while). I don't really want to get online anymore, and I don't know why...
Robert was going on yesterday about how Ragnarok Online would be releasing for free, and so I went to the website, but apparently nobody is able to download the RO client. Basically, we are screwed.
The other day in lit, we were talking about the Greeks and their accepting guests into their homes (we are reading the Odyssey, and Odysseus has been washed ashore, and then found by the king, who takes him in). Our teacher told us that if the guest wanted something, they would get it. (They would say something like, "Oh, I love your rug!" and then their host would reply, "Here, you can have it!" ...Or at least, that's how we all talked about it... ^^;;) It got really funny when Khali said, "Oh, I love your house!" The best part was when Emily said, "Oh, I LOVE your husband!" Haha, it was a lot of fun. (Guess you had to be there to appreciate the humor... ^^;;)
Chorus auditions were on Tuesday. I was pretty nervous, I started getting butterflies in my stomach. Stefanie and I went in together (we had to be with people from other parts; she is an alto, I am a soprano). The weird and somewhat startling thing about the audition was that we were out of there in less than a minute, but I think that our director already has an idea of where she is going to put each of us. (Fortunately for me, I will be in the elite Advanced Women's Chorus, which is the top choir to get into at our school...)
The best part of my life at the moment: a few more weeks, then summer is here! And in about two months, so is the next Harry Potter book! :) I can't wait!! -
screw this dream reality

Well, it is the middle of spring break, and Jay has moved. Hopefully he will have internet access in Oklahoma... If not, then our phone bills are going to go UP. ^^;;
Last Friday a group of us went to go see Spirited Away... Turned out that I was the only girl, and Ryan, of all people, had to show up... I'm just glad that I sat between Matt and Thom! ^^;; Haha, but anyways, I GET TO SEE JON THIS FRIDAY!!! WOO!!! *coughs* Okay, obsess moment over. ^^;; Hopefully Matt will be un-grounded by then, so then he can go to the movies with us... Maybe Jason can come too, but he'd probably get us all kicked out (seriously..).
And now I am trying to refrain from cussing/swearing/whatever you like to call it... Some of my friends have shown me some good points why not to, and I have to say that I agree. ^_^;; Andrew, Jessica, and Matt... Thank you!
While in South Carolina (like right now, even though we are leaving today), my Obaachan and Ojiichan found this video of me when I was a baby. That is really amazing because my parents never, ever filmed me, and we have very few pictures... The video is really long, too, and my dad is actually skinny!!! Haha, good times, good times... :)
One last random thing before I go... I went to Claire's because I just wanted to browse, and they an area where there were all these "best friend" things... Really girly, pink and purple and fuzzy and stuff... My mom said that I should get one for Thom, but I said no, so we kept walking around. Then later I saw some kangaroo keychains, and that was like.. The calling. To buy them. For Thom and me. ...I can't wait to see what he says!! :D
