ok, past few days......AMAZING!!!! ok, so yesterday was the dreaded oral commentary that i have been narrowly avoiding all quarter. the esteemed examiner (mr collins) has officially scared the shit out of all of us. so when he picked my name i was incredibly nervous. but hey....26 out of 30!!! highest grade in the class bitches!!! omg i was soo stoked. that day was concluded with one kick-ASS LIFE meeting. it was crazy intense. what a crucial day!
but today, the greatest gift: rehearsal. ironic, no? but scene 5 FINALLY came out right. omg it was a theatrical ORGASM!!!! everything was right on the money!! timing was perfect, i couldnt have asked for more!! i cant even really describe how incredible it really was. whew.
anyway, tomorrow i have to lead the rehearsal alone, cause rinke is takin a holiday. im scared, to say the least. but ill manage. or ill just go psycho on their asses and than theyll listen. either way, it works. |

"wow" is definitely the word du jor. actually, word du the past 2 jors. in assuming anyone reading this has heard about my accident. if not, quick recap. i missed my turn, thought i could slow down in time and make it, hit a curb, flipped my car over, and it landed on the roof. yea, the car is totaled. the miracle, i got out without a scratch. ok, i have a few bruises. but my entire car flipped over and im ok! i dont kno why, but god wants me here for something. and the second i figure it out, im gonna DO IT. what amazed me most was that amidst the sobbing and questioning, about 15 minutes after i got to the hospital, louis, grace, tommy, andrew and miguel showed up to see me. it sounds so cheezy, but i was so touched that they came to see me. claire showed up 10 minutes later sobbing and wanting to know if i was ok. they came back to see me one at a time, and miguel was pale as a ghost. his mom came and she said that she had never seen him so scared in his life. i am so grateful that nothing happened to me. as ms. garcia said to me when she drove me and my dad home from the hospital "you got angels, girl"
considering the fact that i was ok, i actually went to homecoming. it was the best dance ive been to of all my 4 years at gc. it was kinda awkward, cuz by the time i got there EVERYONE knew what had happened. but miguel and i had an amazing time. i knew going into this that he didnt like me the way i like him, which kinda sucks for me. but we had so much fun that i couldnt even care. by the way, we found his latino. hes the first straight boy ive gone to a dance to who actually LIKES to dance (any boy really, now that i think about it) and does it well. but we sang and danced and were silly and it was amazing. afterparty at my house, o man good times. well, good times for me and miguel ;) but good times in general too. everyone came and got along (accept dylan and cara cause he sucks) but it was just great. i was sitting on the couch cuddling with miguel and i thought "wow, i am soo lucky to be here." i could have been in the hospital with fractures, or i could have been dead. but no. i was sitting in my basement, cudding with my main squeeze, surrounded by a ton of my friends. i couldnt ask for anything better than that. to those of you who came to see me, called me, whatever. thank you so much. it really meant the world to me. i have never felt so completely grateful to be alive. |

Wow, today was just a really good day! its weird, its one of those days u get home and your like whoa, today was the shit!
ok, so its a blue day, which means i start off with chorus, which i love to start my day with. next, religion. HELLOOOOO!!! WERE DOING JUDAISM!!! so religions a breeze! spanish and math are jokes and i have 96% in both classes. went to 20 minutes of chamber choir. went to rehearsal and i had to direct scene 1 which went EXCEPTIONALLY well. these kids are great. they pay attention, write down blocking, everything theyre supposed to do. then....FIRST LIFE MEETING OF THE YEAR!!!!! omg it was incredible. we had about 40 people show up and it was so moving. moving, like people actually used reflection time to think and write. it was incredible. my small group rocked!! no awkward silence!!!
homecoming is also shaping up to be AWESOME. mk, of course, im being escorted by the lovely spaniard(Miguel) which i am 110% excited about. were going out to dinner w/ people from drama, which will be fun cause erins gonna be there :) then, the dance. then miguel and I come back to my house with about 15 of my senior friends (Cara, Dylan, Kevin, etc.) and we chill out all night and everyone sleeps over. kinda like anti-beachweek, but cooler cuz alot more people are coming. best of hope for me and miguel....;)
tomorrow rehearsal has been canceled and the whole cast is going to rinke's room to watch a video of the performance of frankenstein (the play). i dunno if thats a good idea, but it will certainly get them away from the "bolts in the neck" image they have now. so i know we should get something good out of it. im interested to see the overall visual PICTURE (yes rinke, there IS a "c" in the word piCture) of the show. it should be interesting.
freshman family weekend at U Del this weekend!!! GO BLUE HENS!!!!
peace & god bless! |

WE LOOOOSSSSTTTTTT!!!!!! if you saw my face friday night, you have a bit of an understanding of how upset i am. we were AMAZING last year!! and now we loose to a no-name school from virginia!! theyre not even in our conference!!! grrrrrr.... well, we have the rest of the season to start kicking ass, which i KNOW we will.
last night, went out with miguel, mike, claire and her bf tom....sooo much fun! wedding crashers was fricken hilarious. claire spent an hour looking for a parking space cause of some crazy jazz festival, so she and tom missed the whole movie. then we went on the roof of the parking garage and i taught miguel how to dance!! he cracks me up, that one does. theres hope for him yet. well, sorta. for a latino he sure lacks rhythm, which is really unfortunate. but well do what we can. claire's bf is SOOOO cute! they are the most adorable couple i have seen in a looong time. it makes me smile :) by the way, anyone got an idea where a group of 10 can go to get dinner b4 homecoming and not spend a million dollars?? give me suggestions! |

actually, i dont really want to direct. but for now, it is AWESOME!!! o man, im havin soo much fun. i met with mr essig today to block the first scene and he says i actually kno what the hell im doing, which rocks. its a totally new challenge. i get to create the "visual pitchers" as rinke calls them. o rinke! were havin good times. erin too!! were like the head-honchos, which totally kicks ass. omg by the way, saw mrs.taylor today...WOW SHE IS PREGNANT. i knew she was, but it was odd to see her blown up like 3 times her normal skinny self. anyway, thats my super-excitedness about my directing position. |

mk...surprising good week so far!! im rather stoked!!
the happiest thing for me is the show. honestly, its going really well. well...i cant really say that cuz all weve done is a readthrough. but im loving the dynamic of the cast. people are getting along. theyre excited to be there, ready to work, it just tickles me!!! o yaye!! rinke wants scene one blocked by monday. AHHHH!! actually, ive done it already. im just afraid im gonna start on it and hes gonna be like wtf. but im having so much fun with this whole directing thing.
we got a new transfer student yesterday from new orleans!! mr ehrman put me in charge of her (like i can show her around the school...HA!!!) but shes soo sweet. her family came up here to stay with her grandparents before katrina hit, so theyre all safe. but shes gonna be here for awhile. im glad, i really like her. small miracles, rite?
im also being much more open-minded about mr spottswood. his methods are very different, but hes a good teacher. not to mention i get to belt out more and i dont have to try to sound classical, which is fabulous. chamber was interesting today. im anxious to see what we end up with as far as our sound goes. we have like 5 or 6 boys and like 10 girls, but well see.
homecoming...i am OOBER EXCITED!! goin with the spaniard (miguel!) omg best group ever!!! us, erin, bert, laura, etc...gonna be off the CHAIN!!!! i just have to teach miguel how to dance, but he has that latino thing goin for him, so he should be fine.
LIFE MEETING WEDNESDAY SEPT 14!!!! GOOOOOOOO!!! ALL OF YOU!!! (who havnt graduated that is) its gonna be sweet as a muffin.
if you wanna get a hold of me, call the cell, cuz my life is crazy and im never home anymore. LOOOOVE! |

ok. i have FINALLY found time to post, cause i know your all just DYING to hear whats up with me. not that you have time to read it with your busy lives (cough cough PHIL).
school....uhg. you get the drift. no sense in bitching.
my thoughts on the new chorus teacher...mr spottswood. i am not a huge fan of the guy i must say. sure, hes NICE. whoopdie fricken doo. ive been terribly upset by the change in chorus class. i think the only kind of music he really likes is gospel, but we shall see. i was most upset by his plans to turn chamber choir into a straight up gospel choir (he said it, not me). you see, he didnt realize that chamber is an A-CA-FUCKING-PELLA GROUP!!! he was also none too happy about it when he realized we want to keep it that way. ah well, tough noogies. m-tay has been very supportive, listening to me spout my bullshit to a friendly face. i like him.
another note on spottswood, hes flat a good 50% of the time he sings!
the play, ah yes the play. i will be assisstant directing, for anyone who i havnt told yet. its been fun, watching the little freshmen audition. they make me smile. lots of potential in the underclassmen...makes me happy. we may have a real drama dept after all!
and everyones favorite topic...HOMECOMING. so tommy was SUPPOSED to come home for the weekend to take me, but has realized that he has family weekend and he cant take me. nice. phils taking diana, grace is taking louis. sweet. party. miguel and i decided well be eachother's backup dates, which is all well and good. i feel obliged now to go with someone in my grade. but as ive slowly been realizing, i dont really KNOW anyone from my grade. ive grown to hate lunch, simply because i dont know anyone. it takes a whole hell of alot to make me feel awkward, and i feel awkward now every day. i dont enjoy it. itll get better though i think. with time.
fun thought, i no longer want to marry mr collins and have wild sex with him. i want to kill the man. it took a little growing up on my part to realize how freaking obnoxious that man is! ok, exaggeration, yes. but i am not enjoying his class to say the least. wrote an interesting OP though...pertained to phil actually. it was good to write out some of the stuff i was thinking. (dont worry, i didnt use ur name)
LIFE team is going very well. im very excited about the upcmoing year. weve had a bagillion meetings and were all stoked!!
i miss everyone so badly. i kno some of you are tired of hearing this, and i sure as shit dont blame you. its just wrong, senior year and i have no one to sit with at lunch. i dont like it. i wish everything was back like old times. i kno thats selfish. i told mr taylor that i was determined to have a good senior year, since you only get one. i just wish i really believed it.
ok, im done i swear. to mis amigos off at college, have fun, be safe, dont have too much sex (thats means you too margaret...) all that shit. to my friends at home, CALL ME BITCHES!! IM DYING IN THIS HOUSE. of course the wrath of rhonda always is strong. i will survive. |

omg its been forever i know. interstingly enough, however, i dont hvae much to say. i miss everyone. ok. cool. yea, LIFE retreat was incredible. if i havnt talked to you about it yet, trust me, it was amazing. but i came back the same way i left. i have no desire to really be around or talk to anyone. im actually ok with being at the beach, cuz it get me away from people. i dont like this. i think LIFE just made it worse, cuz its one more thing that separates me from everyone else. cuz other people cant understand what it was like. so im stuck here again without knowing what to do. someone actually made a comment to me about it that really bothered me that i wont say for fear of offending people. but ordinarily, i would have been like "you bleeding imbesile, you dont know what in gods name your talking about!" but i jsut didnt really care too much. i was like o...ok. whatev. i dunno, i guess it was good that it didnt bother me. but it was bothered that i didnt care. earlier this year, cara and diana made a comment that the three of us are sposed to open up to eachother and they always felt like i was hding part of me. not being open like they were. i didnt see it till now, and its soo intentional anymore. like i jsut lack the natural desire to talk to people about stuff. rite now phil is thinking this is a good thing, less gossip. but its not evn that. ahh well... im tired of subjecting you all to this trite information.if you have read this whole post, you deserve a medal for your patience!! bravo! ill be home sunday night or monday night. hoping for better spirits by then....
god bless. |
