"Dear Yoko" ::John Lennon:: |

Hmmm ok, what should I highlight...
For starters, I absolutely love jogging, or yogging, rather, around the lake with Emtem these days. I love being with Emtem in general, but that's besides the point heh, but I just looooove this time of year and the fall foliage is beyong glorious. Love it.
Yesterday we had the senior vs. faculty soccer game, which was quite amusing. I actually got the ball a few times, so that was exciting in itself...but yea, it was kinda nice to just be out there with the class...which also includes our girls second bonfire last night making s'mores ("s'more or less..." - Cafrine) and collecting fire wood in the pitch darkness with brookie cookie.
Sooo today I was all excited to give blood for the first time, being of age and all FINALLY. So I go through the process and whatnot, and as I'm on the bed about to do this thing, the nurses tell me that my veins are too wee, and that the needle was about the same size as the veins, so I actually wasn't able to give blood at all, and probably won't ever, since I can't really change the size of my innards. It's a bit of a bumbum, but such is life.
Speaking of bumbums, Tuesday was quite a big one, being beat my shipley in the last 5 minutes of an amazing game, and then they go ahead and get their stupid goal, and proceed to beat ANC yesterday in a corner after the time is called...it would have been awesome to win FSLs senior year, especially against ANC since they took it from us last year, but when I walked off the field after my last high school hockey game, I wasn't crying bc I lost, I was so incredibly happy with how we played, I just got a bit nostalgic over the fact that I've been playing with these girls for 6 years (as Bos said, 1/3 of our young lives hah) and its just incredibly sad when things like that have to come to an end. But at least we have indoor league!!
So right now I'm sitting in Kathy's dorm room waiting to go over to the ice rink to see her hockey game this evening, and tomorrow morning I'll maybe get to meet John's new squeeze while they're up here visiting from college...then horseback riding with EMTEM out in some random but supposedly beautiful place in kennett square, quite looking forward to that one.
Speaking of looking forward to things...HP4 in 2 weeks? I can hardly WAIT.
Speaking of....hardly...WAITING....I've waited far too long to see CB. caaalll meee

"Say you Will" ::Fleetwood Mac:: |

So overall, I'd say I've been having a very awesome summer. Even though work is becoming blah, my boss is a creep and I'll probably end up quitting when I go back to school, everything else is dandy.
I've been waking up early (7:30-8ish) every morning to go work out in the weight room at school, these past couple weeks, and I just feel happier overall bc I feel like I'm getting more out of my day. Usually I've been going with Emily/Catherine, but this week EmTem joined me along with Kraus, and today it was Kraus and Derek who amused me greatly with hip hop/belly dancing, body rolls, and the assistants in our talk of making a weight room work out video tape for abdominals hah.
Another reason to smile is the fact that I feel like I've seen so many of my friends this summer who in summers past I usually don't see that often. I've either talked to on the phone/seen everyone from catherine, shellie, emily, hannah, fiona, amy, dana, liz, eudora, gabs, erika, mags, ava, dan, jon martin, derek, stu, kevin, kraus, to emtem, melissa mccourt, and even peter mayer (<3)!
Last weekend I also had an awweesooommmeee time at the beach with Catherine, we went to the beach where the weather was gorgeous, clear water, not too hott, floating waves, perfection I tell you, on Saturday/Sunday, went for a nice run, had a bbq with the family, went out to mini-golf and banana ice cream (a personal favorite), and had an awesome car ride home that included stopping (more like swerving insanely hah) for a carton of blueberries and pints of strawberry ice cream in the parking lot in unknown regions of new jersey hah. We've also seen Willy Wonka and Wedding Crashers, which by the way was hilarious and I recommend it to those of you who have not yet had the pleasure of seeing it...
....this past weekend was also enjoyable, I had Shellie over and we took a very uuuh...amusing (to say the least) bikeride through new kent after spending half an hour pumping up bike tires, followed by an excursion through this creek in my neighborhood, which we came just to look at but decided what the hell walking in creeks is too much fun to pass up, so we kicked off our shoes and spent a while walking up this creek and discovering prehistoric clam shells....hahahahah. Later that night we watched hitch, and of course our guilty pleasure, degrassi. Saturday dana and I cruised the mall for a bit and bought ice cream for my pms mood hah and watched big fish, which was interrupted by a late night drop in from derek, who ate the rest of the ice cream and took us around the corner to stu's for a minute to see if he would come to the waterpark, which he ended up not, but oh well hah. Sunday was also an awesome day, that started out with derek coming over at 8 in the morning, then dana picking us up to go to kraus' house (FCORN hahah...sorry it was this sign we saw), and meeting up with him and emtem to set off for our much anticipated trip to hurricane harbor, which was a BLAST. I felt like such a little kid on all those huge water slides, but we had such a fun time. When we got back to kraus' we ate pizza, watched hp3, named a stuff raccoon rigby who does magic just like harry, and took pictures of my fupa that was actually a heating gel pad thing for my cramps. We went out for a short dinner at this diner in wayne, then met up with kevin at frasier lanes for some bowling, followed by a brief meeting back up at my house where we applied hideous fake tatoos from the bowling alley. So all in all, it was a superb day.
Last week I finally finished HARRY POTTER, and yes, I shed a tear come the end of the book, and cannot believe that I have to wait god knows how long for the next and final one. Oh well, at least now I can start my count down for the 4th movie!!
Field Hockey camp is in a couple weeks, and since I've been running/working out almost every day, I'm very much looking forward to it. Also, Emily and I being the oldies buffs we are made a fabulous field hockey oldies cool down mix, we hope everyone enjoys it hah.
I've actually gotten to do quite a bit of Driving this past month or so too, which is always nice...a few hours closer to my license
One thing that has unfortunately been lacking from my summer is MY CB...who comes home on Saturday!! Alas, however, I will not be here, for I will be out in Seattle from Thursday-Sunday for my uncle's wedding, I can't wait! It's going to be beautiful out there...I MISS THEE CB!!
And tonight, I believe I'll be hanging out here at home with Catherine, who knows what we'll end up doing, but we have much to talk about, including my FABULOUS day today that put me on cloud nine...<3 AAAH ok this is starting to seem long I think, so I'll stop for now....

guess what I boooouuuugghhtt...TEE SHIRTS FOR CAMP!!!!! This is as exciting as it gets, let me tell ya.
Anywho...Carvel is ok as always, working this Thursday 11-4, please feel free to grace me with your presence...
Luckily I've been driving alot lately, 202 during rush hour just now was quite different than what I'm used to, but it wasn't so bad...the whole unlicensed thing has really gotten to me, it's caused me to be stranded during many a summer night.
Still reading Harry Potter, even though I almost cried last night bc I didn't want to see it, but somehow online I stumbled upon the SPOILER for the ending, I'm still upset that I found out before I read it, Oh well...at least it was comforting when Tim Howie texted and said he cried, too. hahah
Liz's shindig this Friday...I cannot wait to see everyone I've missed so much this summmeeerrr
I MISS MY CB ::experiencing major withdrawal:: It's been almost a MONTH
The frustrated sun only applies to the topic of the male species, WHY IS IT SO HARD. Shellie I had another unsuccessful encounter, you'll probably hear all about it at some point.... >:-Þ

"You Don't Know Me" ::Michael Buble:: |
] |
I really haven't updated in over a month, and what a month it's been...uuh let's seee. I think this update is going to be kind of listy. I like lists after all....
The last bit of school was both awesome and really hard. Aside from 10+ hours devoted to studying Biology and holding back tears while saying good-bye to senior friends amongst other things, the spring wasn't half bad. So much beautiful weather, canoeing on the lake while witnessing Killer at his evilest on geddes and winston, picking up trash on the brandywine river, funny faculty appearences in dance recitals, spending so much time with catherine and dana, ripping down spa night signs of norah masons, taking jogs around the lake with various running buddies like tim, catty, kelsi, melissa, etc, playing extreme field hockey and ::attempting:: ultimate frisbee on the south lawn when the nicer people would pass to us, plotting ideas for senior pranks with class mates I don't get to hang out with too much, walks to petes in the rain with kraus and amy followed by cherry pit spitting contests, and even John Baird taking a few of us to cold stone in a van, I had so much fun. It's going to be so weird next year without all of the senior boys that came to feel like our own class and not a different one, us junior girls are going to feel so alone at first, but I'm sure our 2006 boys will pull through for us, at least let's hope so....
So I'm leaving for China on Friday, and I haven't even thought about it. What am I supposed to pack?? I'll figure it out Thursday night...good thing I have thursday off from work so I have a whole day to deal with it.
I turn 17 in a little less than two weeks, and all I'm really asking for is a digital camera for taking pictures of friends and a couple Beatles albums...ooo and flowers. I would love flowers, since I always do. Pink peonies! My favorite. Oh yes, and two people have promised me baked goods. I'm waiting to see if they follow through with their word hah.
I rrreeeaalllyyyy miss the Mayer's...ALOT. I didn't think I would this much. I started to feel a part of their family at school and while I'm away for the summer I feel like they're all going to grow up so much come September. so sappy but so true. I really hope I'll get to sit for Pete a few times at least, Tr. Eric said he'd be needing me come July so we shall see...
So I got my SAT 2 scores for french and math...not the best, but not the worst. Meh, what do they matter...
I get to see my CEEBSY on Wednesday night for a much anticipated sleep over before I leave for China, and while I'm away she leaves for sleep away camp (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) Whatever will I do without you, my other half? I'll be writing a few letters I know.
I aaalllsssooo get to see good ol' Shellie tomorrow. I think we're going to hit up the semi-annual sale after I get off work at 4, and who knows maybe a movie after, either way hilarity always ensues. Loved this quote from hers truly today:
"It's the shut up and go away soup" hahahahahhaahah I love it.
Kathy and I finally took pictures of our dream houses on the way down to the shore. Woo! One more thing to tick off on my list of life goals, no matter how small. "I need to make a list of these" hah.
Oh, Daniel, if you read this, I hope you got my text about that family guy episode. I was seriously laughing so hard and wished you were there to enjoy it with me. Perhaps we can have a marathon before you leave for...where is it...Hungary? Turkey? I don't remember which...
So I have all these super snazzy pictures from the dinner dance. If anyone would like me to send them any, just ask and I'll e-mail them
Catherine sent me an e-mail from Germany and apparently the town they're in is a lot of fun. Except she was attacked a bit at some night club with a lot of mattresses, but other than that I think it sounds great.
I cannot wait for field hockey camp! I'm getting really pumped for making t-shirts for our team...speaking of which, I need to call Emily (BOSWORTH) about those. We're going to have so much fun decorating them...oh yes, and I need to call Benbow some time this week to ask about our proposition hahah, kind of forgot about that while we were still in school....
Sooooo work is going a lot better than it was when I started last week. At first it was kind of stressful bc I didn't know how to make anything and this lady got nasty with me for not filling her stupid vanilla shake to the brim. It was a little upsetting but I got over it bc I'm getting better with making all the stuff, I've actually already trained 2 people, and my shifts are reasonable (4 1/2-5 hours) so I can deal with it. Working tomorrow and wednesday from 11-4 so come visit me!! Except please don't ask me to make you a Carvelanche, I can't do those.
I love all the guest appearences from my friends and family, the first was Melissa McCourt, then my neighbor, then my mom, who next I tell you. Apparently Stu has tried stopping in but I'm never working when he does. Funny story, I was jogging through the neighborhood and I pass Stu's house and there are balloons and music and people and I hear my name being shouted from his driveway, so I stop and go say Hi, and he's just chillin on the driveway so we chat for a bit. I just thought it was funny bc Catherine and I are always kidding about how when we drive by we are going to stop in and I actually did hah...ok so maybe it wasn't that funny but you know.
I feel like this is getting long, and I'd be impressed if anyone is still reading...
Another quote I liked from today:
"Maybe when we actually do something about this we can flip our shits together...at our own celebration barbeque"
- Eurdora and I on actually asking people out. Hah, we'll see.
We WILL go to the water park! Just keep some later weekend in July free, okay?
Alrighty, I need to go bathe and get some sleep...bonne nuit.

"New Slang" ::The Shins:: |
] |
I love these nights when there's no homework to be done, but I have to enjoy it now because I'm going to be on the verge of tears in three weeks come bio/french exam time.
I feel like this update doesn't have much of a point, oh well, here goes.
So Saturday night was awweessooommeee because my ol' pal Shellie came out to this town in the west to hang out with little old me not doing anything, so we just spent 4 hours doing nothing but walking around campus talking, and I love having someone like that who you don't really talk to everyday but when you do you can literally spend the whole day just talking and it's so much fun and you don't feel this awkward need to catch up, it's more like you can't really stop talking and laughing at stupid nonsense. We're pretty good at that...Shellie I miss ya already and I wish you were here with uuuss. But it was bloody fabulous to see you again, as always. Oh, and sidenote to Shellie, I tried looking for places that do swing dance lessons over the summer and I got nada so far, how bout you? We seriously need to do this hahahah
Alex Sockell is writing his spanish paper right now and he would like to say "Hi" So there it is.
I wish I could have gotten to see Cat this weekend because GUESS WHO DECIDES TO COME TO PHILLY LAST MINUTE AND NOT TELL ANYONE...Jason Mraz. This sat, may 21st, which is ironically the same exact date he played at tower theatre last year and sure enough CB and I were present in the audience. I'm just bummed bc he's playing acoustic, tickets are only 22 bucks, and the orchestra seats are STILL on sale. But I do think John Martin's party will be barrels of fun, so I'm trying not to be down about it toooo much. Sigh...
Speaking of Jason Mraz...I have finally caved in to this whole My Space thing I've been surrounded by for months and MADE ONE MYSELF for the sole purpose that Jason has one, and if you become his friend on it you can listen to clips from his new album, so I figured what the hell. I don't have many friends on it though, hahahah, what are you gonna do.
P.S. Thank you to my (hmm...time to choose a flattering yet random adjective to describe her) SPARKLY (ooo good one) roomate for putting up with all this Shins business. But I just love em. I love Euroda I MEAN EUDORA!!!!! <3 hehehe
So yes before Shellie came out here I was out on the lake canoeing with Amy and Kraus for almost 2 hours, and it was so much fun. The wind was blowing a pretty good deal so we didn't have to paddle much, so we just all held hands and boat sides and drifted around (except a few fleets away from that damn swan) and talked and the weather was soooo nice I love having nothing to do but float on a lake, it's a nice feeling. Canoeing/Kayaking is something I really dont get to do as much of as I would like, so I think this summer I'll be working on that. So there's this one part of the lake where there's this little cove with a tree that droops in and it's nice and shady, and at one point we were floating around in there and it was very romantic. I felt like Ariel in that one scene with the sha lalala kiss the girl thing going on, except...I didn't have that hunk Eric, I had amy and kraus, who are just as good, but you get the point. So, anyone out there are looking for a nice place to go on campus yours truly would highly recommend it.
Field Hockey on the south lawn is sooooooo much fun. I've missed it so, and I love how now with three weeks of school left all of these males discover how great it is. Why they couldn't see that in the first place is really beyond me. I don't want them to leeeaavveee, I feel like stu/kraus/derek/justin/etc are in my grade or something, and I don't think it hit me that they're all leaving. I think I'm going to miss them next year and be a little lost at first...
I neeeeeeeeeed a job. But where to apply, I just don't know. Merr...I'll figure something out.
Note to Self: Stop putting off e-mailing Mike Currie!! He still needs to visit us.
I really hope Benbow will have a heart and let us go to the concert. I will seriously sit in my room and be a sulky little sulker if come next year that saturday night when it's the back to school dance I have to be HERE and not watching Jack Johnson perform. I'm a wee bit worried...he will, right???
Heeeeeey I just remembered Kathy is home for the summer NEXT WEEK. ::bell hops. But not really, because I'm in the library::: yeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
And now, instead of leaving you with beautiful words of the day from someone else, I shall leave you with my own french poem in the works about Emily, heheh.
Il y a une jeune fille que je connais,
Elle s'appelle Emilie, c'est tout je sais.
Emilie est petite, et tres jolie,
Emilie est tranquille, mais tres polie.
Eh? Eh?

"St. Simon" ::The Shins:: |
] |
I feel like it's been quite a while since I've posted. Too many things I could talk about, but I'll spare everyone since all of my friends know what's going on all the time anyway, no need to hear it all twice I suppose...
I suppose I'll start with my weekend. Friday night was at first looking to be a bummer bc I wasn't doing anything, but it turned out to be a lot of fun bc I spent almost 3 hours on the phone in my room looking out at the South Lawn laughing my ass off with Shellie. So really it was a Friday night well spent.
- ::lying on the kitchen counter:: "TOP-SECRET MICHELLE'S PERSONAL LIFE...DO NOT READ" ::Shellie's mom:: "Oh, mail's here!"
- ::in the photo lab, uuuh...:: "No it's okay I REALLY don't mind!" hahahhahaa man I love that shellie.
Saturday I took the SAT for a whopping third time, and I sat at desk number 3, and 3 is my lucky number so let's hope that 3's a charm. It damn well better be because I'm not taking them again. I wish I could have gone canoeing like last Saturday, it was soooo much fun. Sure it was raining the whole time but Amy, Derek, Kraus, all the others and I had an awesome time in the rain of course, but hey we got free Starbucks coffee, we got to canoe/clean up the Brandywine, and Derek and Kraus found a shopping cart, so all in all it was a good day. Except...yea, last week, but whatever.
Spent the night at CB's last night (Saturday night after sats), which was aweeesooommmee as always. We really tried to make it work for 5-6 days on just me getting a stupid ride, but we did and I got there and back and all is well. Those are the times I really need to have my license, not until August...ah. So let's see, oh yes well before I went over I went out to dinner at Bucca di Beppos with Kathy and my mom which was just lovely (Jay Farrow also made a guest appearence hah) it was pretty much an early Mother's Day celebration. I did the whole roses and home made card thing since I won't be seeing her today...then when I got to Cat's she hadn't eaten yet so I went out to yet another italian restaurant in the same night, it was a pretty awesome restaurant the murals on the walls were amazing but the waiters were a bit lacking, oh well, I didn't get a second dinner. But I had a chance to talk to my Aunt Nancy who really gives the best advice ever, she makes you say what you're really thinking and she's so good with analyzing stuff I don't even have to explain, it's awesome to have that for free. The sky last night was so incredible too, when we were walking to the restaurant it was that kind of sky where its blue in the background and the clouds are pink and gold because the sun set and ah, sheer art work I tell you.
Highlights from CB's:
- "Nobody notices those things like we do...like, the puppet's eyes blinking, or what else is down that long dark candle-lit hallway upstairs in his house..."
- The unicorn/sea horse drinking from the river "I really wish that WAS mr. Krab's dream"
- More photo ops at the train station. It's just not natural. Whoever that guy is, we miss you, hahah.
Tatoos:
- "Avoid Yesterday's spoon...er, eyes"
- "Don't fight inner boy"
CB I MISS YOU already...
So today I just returned from quite an eventful run. 3/4 the way around the lake I ran into Stu and Lamanna tracking down the swan and handed me this huge stick to defend myself, it was so goofy but I played along with them for a while until I continued on my jog and wished them luck. Then I ran up through the frog pond and out by the cabin and came by the Mayer house where the whole happy family is outside in the yard playing kickball and they all wave at me to come play. It was all too cute and I love kickball, so I took my head phones off and played kickball with the whole family, Jersey and Pete included for a good 30-45 minutes. It was so much fun, it reminded me of playing games like that with all of the neighborhood boys back in the good old days. Then as I was leaving they all sat down at a picnic table to have a nutrititous afternoon snack. The whole thing was so cute and it always makes me so happy to be with them, I wish I was just part of their family so I wouldn't have to go, I could play with peter all the time. But it's still awesome that I get to spend so much time with them, they're wonderful people.
Today is absolutely gorgeous outside too. Before I came back to school Kathy and I dropped off our applications so maybe we can work together which would be delightful, but we'll have to see if we get the job first...oh yes, and of course a stop at a certain store, always makes my day. Oh boy.
I'm so excited that I actually got tickets to 2 concerts I rreeaaallly want to see, both in September, for Jack Johnson and Paul McCartney, they're going to be sooooo goooood. Wow, I haven't seen homestaw in a long time either. Does anyone still watch that?
"Life is very short, and there's no time...for fussing and fighting my friends" - The Beatles
This really couldn't be truer. I've decided that I need to tell people how I feel more often, so I'm going to try and resolve some shtuff in my life that I feel like I've been sitting in an unresolved pile of...figuratively speaking.
Beautiful words for the day:
"Mercy's eyes are blue,
When she places them in front of you.
Nothing holds a roman candle to,
The solemn warmth you feel inside of you" - The Shins
Now it's time to take some pictures while the lighting of the sky is just right...

Kathy took me driving over in East Goshen Park today for the first time, woooo. Heh, so I was a bit uuh JERKY on the brakes but hey I didn't bump into anything...or anyone...so it's all good...I mean, huh? Oh yea, dad we went to the Chester County Book Co. to browse the latest novels, yes thats it...
I'm kind of in love with these lyrics, I just think theyre so purrddyy...
"Do you realize? That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize, that everyone, you know, someday, will die?
And instead of saying all of your good-byes, let them know,
You realize that life goes fast,
it's hard to make the good things last,
You realize the sun doesn't go down,
it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize?"

Hmmm...Does anyone have any ideas for a Biology project that I could do ooo say ALL of the third trimester? I'm kind of at a loss for ideas, and I kind of need to have one in mind in a few weeks time, I was thinking of doing like a fun interactive student body survey and data type thing, but I don't think that's quite the Dawnlet is asking for. I was also thinking of swabbing certain environments around the school and growing the bacteria from them in a petri dish, but the thing is that they would be from boy's and girl's environments to see who really is the grosser of the species...or something like that.
So I might not be away as much as I once thought this summer, and now I'm kinda thinking maybe I should go look for a part time job, but the question is....uuuh, what?
HOPEFULLY getting my permitt this Saturday (finally, sheesh), a little behind the rest but hey it's all good
Valentine's day dance on Saturday night, WHY it's required I do not know, but since we all must be there maybe I will be in a good mood and make the most of it. Especially if Shellie is there by my side, then I'm sure some form of hilariousness will ensue.
I was listening to this song and this part of it really caught my attention, and I thought it was really interesting, bc it's kinda true if you really think about it...

How is that the past few weeks I've been swamped with work, and this afternoon/tonight I have, well, NOTHING to do? I just did a little more than half of my SAT prep math homework, which is due in about 2 weeks, which is a little silly if you ask me, but I guess that just goes to show how much homework I don't have right now. I should really take advantage of if...but how? I'm feeling really confused, this feeling of not having anything to do, it's like I haven't had that in so long I don't really know what to do with it...oh well, I'm not necessarily complaining, just observing.
Thank you to my roomate for officially getting this song in my head.

Catherine defenitely saved my Sunday night. We were sitting around at about 9 oclock on the phone for a while, both kinda like...hmm..the night is young...you have your license...why not be bored together? So as soon as I get there we decide to rent a movie at her local blockbuster, and I decide to bring along her new purse she got for her birthday. It's the most goofy looking thing, this hot pink purse shaped like a watering can, with a spout and everything. We were making fun of how hideous it was, and then as she's downstairs getting her shoes and keys to go, I run up and grab it to take along with us, bc it deserved to be shown off to the public of blockbuster at 10:30 at night. It was the funniest thing ever, swinging it around like it was so cool when it was just so tacky. Then we ran into the Giant next door, grabbed sushi and strawberry sorbet (great combination), slip in something on the floor one right after the other, and went back home (she was driving down a road without her lights on for a bit, couldn't get over the fact that we didn't notice for quite a while...) and watched "Saved" which was pretty good I guess. Then we were online with a few westtowners til about 1 am and needless to say the conversations were too much to handle. So we finally crashed at about quarter of 2, after talking about everything from SBP's to ol' "preggers". It's so nice to finally have friends with licenses and be able to do stuff like that. Now if only I could go and get my permitt...I'm working on it.
Off to bake cupcakes...screw bio.

"Sunday Morning" ::Maroon 5:: |
] |
I am amused for bizarre reasons...but enough about that.
Sooooo yesh. It's long winter weekend, second day, and I've barely touched that poster. Hopefully I'll have a burst of motivation one of these next few days...Field Hockey tomorrow at nooon - I'm bringing cookies! So yippy skippy for that I guess...
Hhmm...I COULD mention my day full of listening to this song alot, getting my physical in order to get my permitt, paying a trip to Genaurdis and getting a free chai tea, being driven insane by my dad and the colors of my walls, calling Catherine to amuse her for about half an hour from the grandparents (she got her license!!! so congradulate her) and talking of other amusing things, going out to a dinner (Nicholass - don't drop the plates hah) where I had my favorite meal and I didn't really even want to eat it for my tummy is sttilll yucky, running out with Kathy to buy more yarn. Yes, that's right, the most exciting part of my evening was chatting to the cashier lady about my scarf as she rung up my new colors...at least I enjoyed myself. Then CVS to end our nightly excursion for Kathy to get those candy hearts she loves so much with the little messages on them. I love how no CVS employee I've EVER asked in my young life has ever known what it stands for, so maybe I shall decide for them. Hmm...how about...Candy & Vaginal supplies Store. I mean...they have tampons and, okay maybe someone else should decide.
Oh wait...I guess I just did??
I can't decide whether or not I think Valentine's day is goofy or not. But then again, I can be a very goofy person...whatever.
"Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave"
Once again, Happy Birthday to my two lovelys.

This week needs to be over. My bio poster needs to be completed, and I need a cuddle from my Kyleigh
Stressing/Confusion/Longing isn't really the best combination of feelings, is it?
I actually wrote a poem today for the first time in I can't even remember, I'm surprised I could see what I was writing, being in kind of a glazy daze, I just need a break from my surroundings...
"Retrieving diamonds from the addiction" - what is that supposed to mean now hmm??

I've missed her so much, and I really can't wait to see her. I've been wanting her to just be around me for so long and FINALLY...she makes me so happy, and I've never laughed harder with anyone in my life, so many times. Wow I really sound like I'm declaring my love for this CEEBs, eh? Well, that's because I am, because...I LOVE YOU ::glossy eyes:: CB!

Soooo I'm kinda liking this weather, because it isn't so winterish, and I'm not such a wintery weather person, so I think it's just lovely. Although, I really am starting to get anxious for the spring time of tank tops, flip flops, lounging on the South Lawn again, and sprinting through the pouring rain soaking wet in bare feet, headed for the mud slide at the track field hill. What good times...except that was fall, but none the less it was warm enough for such behavior. So yea, I kind of would just like it to be Spring...
I hate cramps, especially when they double over during running... >:-Þ

Don't you hate it when you wait around LITERALLY the WHOLE day for someone to call you back, and you get to the point where you feel almost like you couldn't call them or text them anymore than you have...?? And you don't go making anything other plans in case they DO call...but then the clock strikes 7:30 at night and you think...hmm...what could I have actually done today instead of just waiting around...for nothing. I really kinda hope there is a reason...we DID agree on Monday. I mean, it's Monday isn't it????

blech....I ate too much chinese food tonight, and food in general over the past two days.
So I've decided to donate a chunk of money I recieved for Christmas to an organization that protects rain forest lands and coral reefs and places of the like, and as I've been searching for such an org. I've come across all of these really depressing facts about the destruction rate of everything, and how at the rate we're going, 70% of the world's coral reefs are going to be GONE in our lifetime. That's really scary, and really sad. Part of me is really angry at the parent generation bc if you've noticed, all these of statistics show that these rates have gone out of control during their prime lifetime, so basically that generation has gone and messed everything up, and is now preaching to us to fix it. And then again, how can we clean it all up? Oy....
What's your favorite word, or one you really like?
I really like tangible. Who knows why
When asking Kathy..."that's hard...uuh...::starts fiddling with ring:: "fuck I don't know. Fuck."

So hey guess what the word on the street is?
Harry Potter VI is finally announced and on its way..."Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" comes out NEXT July 16th...and there's all this madness at bookstores doing preorders already. That's ok, I still need to finish the 5th one...
What should I have for breakfast? Honey Nut Cheerios...Cornflakes...cheerios...flakes...hmmm, decisions decisions
2 days til Christmas...when did that happen??
So yea, I just learned to knit about a week ago and I'm already on my first project, which would be a light green scarf, and 2nd row in I'm already having stupid problems...where is Amy when I need her? At least at school she was on "24/7 knitting emergency call" for me, heh Maybe I'll just go knit some more...or something, and eat, and finish writing cards for the grandparents, and shower, and dig up my American Girl shtuff from when I was little, to give (some of it) to my little cousin Nicki whos loves those dolls (can't blame her) for Christmas, since she's my "secret santa" person thingy...I hope I don't get too dumb and all the sudden attached to everything and not be able to part with it..I mean, they're only American Girl dolls, with all of their cool American Girl clothes, and toys, and accessories...right?

"Carry That Weight" ::Beatles:: |
] |
10:30 in the morning, no one's online...going Christmas shopping later...kinda bored now...and stuffy.
I haaaaaaaaaatteee when the winds all loud and scary at night when I'm trying to sleep, it freaks me out, who knows why.
So we decorated our tree and hung the stockings, which all looks just lovely, but it's kind of dissapointing because all I've been thinking about in terms of Christmas this year thus far is just "making the deadline" of getting people gifts, it's kind of a difficult pressure to try and ignore, you know? And as we were adorning our house last night I also didn't really feel like going all out and wrapping the stairways in tinsel and other pretty things all over because I was just thinking of how much more work it would be for me or anyone else when it comes time to take it all down, how its more trouble than its worth getting in the way and making a mess...stuff like that. Hmm...on a more OPTIMISTIC note to the morning...
I guess I'm looking forward to the first real snow around here, well ok maybe the second, bc word on the street was that it kinda snowed last night, but alas I missed it for I was taking a 3 1/2 hour nap...so yea, even though I'm really not the biggest fan of winter, I must admit the snow is puurrrddy.
We don't have indoor hockey for a while...until the 8th of January or somewhere around there, Oh how I miss it already
So Uncle Fred's party on Saturday night was pretty fun, listened to the most ridiculous conversation, heard some man scream "O CALEB!" in the other room, heard Vardaman talk about his fish (hahah), and then proceeded to go back to Prancy Nancy's house and do more word tatoos!
"Beyond Whimsy said Stupid"
"Raw Philosopher on Edge"
...And then Bertucci's the next day for brunch. mmm yes
I'm already starting to miss little old Peter Mayer...d'aw
I've already started to miss everyone at school too...it's so hard being surrounded by all these people all the time and then suddenly finding myself at home, with just...my family. (Kathy: "Bob lost 35lbs this year" - AND THATS IT" hahaha)
Off to call Dana (H.) about shopping, should be fun, lots to catch up on...
"Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Or I may be asleep" - The Beatles {Blue Jay Way}
Don't know where that one came from...?
