UPDATE:  
so i had a long weekend, four day weekend to be exact! it was pretty good! 

Sat: went to the Renissance Festival and on the way there we sang Hairspray! i got my face painted and it looked bad ass! the woman told me that it was a choice that men normally choose so she had to girl it up for me and she asked me why i chose it and i said, "I dont know, caught my eye i guess." Mitchell got his face done after me and that meant "PICTURE TIME!" i swear that damn camera is attached to Christine's hip everywhere we go! ha! oh well, i guess i will have to just get used to that! we saw this guy who was an expert escape artist and Christine got my dad up on stage...i felt bad for him. then after that we saw Kristoff the Insultor...yeah he was pretty vulger, but it was pretty funny! we ate after that...then watched other stuff. the last thing we watched was the jousting. 
"It's called a Lance! HELLOOO!" haha! sorry i had to do that! the "stadium" was so packed that we had to sit in the fuckin' dirt...boy those rocks did not feel good on the booty! on the way home we sang more Hairspray! i kept getting told by Christine that i have a good voice and that i should do something with it.
--later that day once we got home we played a game outside...i forgot what it's called, but you have to throw these coloured balls and the ones that get closest to the small yellow ball gets points. ha! my dad and i won both games!

Sun:  we looked for a dog found three we really liked. the one Christine liked the most ended up going to another family. the one i liked the best survived from Parvo (like dysentery for humans) and they werent sure about him b/c...idk, but that dog was amazing and i loved it! the one my dad liked, we were going to adopt, but didnt. we went to a festival and it was lame, but the burger i had was pretty sweet! after the festival we went back to the nicest adoption place and took the hold off the dog...long story!

Mon:  my dad and i went on a bike ride to Starbucks and i worked on my application for it....still not quite finished with it. then we popped over to Borders, which is pretty much right beside Starbucks and i bought two books. we biked home. we then went to the grocery store to buy shit for dinner! ha! that's all i can remember of that day! ha!

Tues:  my last day off and i did nothing, which was nice! i actually cant remember anything about it

SCHOOOLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O.K. DREAM TIME!

# 1:  I was in a bathtub and i was trying out for this singing thing and for some reason i didnt want to see the woman who was judging me. i got out and got dressed, but kept singing and finally i came out to see the woman and she was marking me, but it was all good critique's. once i turned off the music, she looked at me and said, "You're not what i'm looking for. We need someone more bubbly" i looked at her like she was crazy b/c all of the things she wrote down was good. it turns out that i had to do a photoshoot for that thing as well...idk, but my pictures were hot! i was very angry and a lot of ppl in my family turned up and i blew them off, but they loved my pictures! haha! 

#2:  this was the same night as the one previously and for those who have seen the episode of Scrubs when Brenden Fraser's character dies, well that was kind of what my dream was like. i was an intern at this weird hospital and one of the attending's had a friend who needed a check up, but i told him that i was swamped with patients. i ended up taking him downstairs and as soon as he got on the table he went into cardiac-arrest and i started crying and yelling! he grabbed my hand and died. that was it...craziness!

#3:  my favorite one!! this one was last night! ok! so i'm really excited about seeing Sweeney Todd--my dream was dark and set in the late 1800s in London and Johnny was walking around his room talking to himself and then he put a skull mask on (like Gerard Butler wore in Phantom when he was wearing the red suit) and he jumped off his bed and his hair is in his face, but he seemed unbothered by this. I, narrator, said something and he repeated it to his dogs and you see him take out a razor. Then it cuts to Helena-Bonham Carter's character running down stairs that came from Johnny's flat and a young, pretty girl runs past her going up the stairs. They exchange hellos and you see Helena running into an alley way. The girl walks into the flat and it is all dark and she says, "Hello?" and suddenly  lightning strikes and you see him in the shadows with the razor blade in his hand. the girl screams and before you know it a light is cut on and Johnny throws her on the bed. She struggles and he says, "You're a lot stronger than the other ones." and you can see the muscles in his shoulders and arms flexing and then he leans in close to her and....MY FUCKIN' ALARM WENT OFF AND I DIDNT GET TO SEE THE GOOD PART!!
Johnny was pretty bangin' though...he was just beautiful! i wouldnt have minded being that girl for the naughty stuff, but the end i'm not so sure i would want to be a part of! haha! the colours were spectacular and vivid! it was such a good dream!
 
i hoped you enjoyed dream time!

this weekend i'm not so sure what we're doing...i know i have to wash the little clothes that i have and i have to write an essay that is due on Wed. i also have to study for my first math quiz on monday. woohoo...not!

 





Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache

One more day till my four day weekend! yay! at least it is a short day of class tom. i will be done at 12:50! woohoo! this week has been just O.K. i'm still trying to get adjusted to living here. 
Class was rather boring...i had film today, my three hr. class, and it was pretty cool. we got to watch silent films that lasted no longer than 12 mins. each. the only thing bad about that class is that my professor goes extremely fast through our powerpoint notes so my notes are pretty messy! oh well!

I had another odd dream last night...so i was chillin' with HSM 2 ppl:  Zac Efron (yay), Vanessa (boo!), and Ashley Tisdale.  Ashley was acting like her character, Sharpay, and apparently she really did like Zac in real life.  Well i was friends with the cast, somehow, and we were at a party for the film and Ashley was being really mean to Vanessa (i dont know why i cared so much, but i did) i was the only one who felt that Ashley was really a good person. For those who have seen Stardust, the chain that Tristan's mother wore was just like the one Ashley was wearing and it got caught in a tree and no one cared and i started walking away, but i paused, backed up and went out there to help her on one condition. She had to apologize to Zac and Vanessa for all the wrong-doings she did to them. We found the couple leaning over a funky balcony looking down at the fans and Zac turned around and was like, "Oh, hey guys" he was wondering why i was with her and i think they were actually mad at me for a bit, until i told them why i was being nice. Ashley apologized to them and Vanessa forgave her right away and Zac hesitated b/c he still thought that Ashley liked him (i think he was right and i think i liked him too, but i had accepted it) and we were sitting at this round, red table and Ashley was given cocaine and she did a line (weird and rather scandalous!). i told her not to and Vanessa did not want her to do it alone so she did it and Zac got mad at her for doing it and i even told her not to. For some odd reason Zac tried a taste and i figured, if he is then i will (i guess i didnt want to be the only one who didnt) and i took a taste, not a line, just like Zac. It tasted like crushed tylenol, that bitter taste, which made me think that it might not have been cocaine, instead it could have really been tylenol! haha! but i woke up thinking that i was going to be high! haha! i wasnt! it was rather bizarre, but Zac was bangin' in his blue shirt!!

i cant wait for my shows to start back up again:  Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, & America's Next Top Model. i already have a couple of shows that i watch:  Coupling & The Graham Norton Show (both on BBCA), the Soup, The Bill Engvall Show, Sex & the City, and i bring my kid out with Hannah Montana! haha!! great!!!

anyways...cant wait for the long weekend! 
School from 11-12:50 (two classes)
Library for some movies either before or after school
--not sure about the night time
Renissance Festival sat. yay!
not sure about the rest of the weekend..possibly looking for a dog




Your moving to fast for me 
And i cant keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling lies, lies, lies...

anyways...i cant wait to go to my first Film class! i dont care that it is long as long as i have fun in there and learn awesome things. i thought my English teacher was a douche, but after today he seems pretty descent and i like my Psych. teacher, she's nice. my math teacher seems like a goofball! he wears pinky rings and a gold bracelet. he may have his ear pierced, but i'm not sure. haha! i need to go to Target this weekend with the pops b/c i need a flash drive for Eng. and maybe other classes...i would also like to have a planner, that may make life easier on me. enough about school!

so the other night i had a dream about Johnny Depp! ha! my unconcious self really respects him, man. Him, Vanessa, and i were at dinner in France, i believe and we were sitting in the back and we were just eating and drinking wine. Vanessa and i just had conversation after conversation about nothing really and Johnny would just nod and sometimes put in his opinion as he sipped his red wine! it was great. i remember lots of blue and candlelight. i never have naughty dreams with him...i wonder why.

i will have to do some homework this weekend...goody! it wont be too bad or at least i hope not!



I remembered everything
Every window pane
Every word came back to me the it used to be
Then i saw your face across the street
And my heart was home again

soo...i have not written in this thing in a very long time, but i figured i would start this up again!

i am now living in Illinois with my dad, my stepmom, and my stepbrother...it's cool i guess. i have not been here that long to really have and opinion b/c i have been out of town.

Cassie came here for a week and we had lots of fun and watched lotttssss of movies which was awesome. then when it came time for her to leave, the family went to Baltimore to visit my uncle (my dad's brother). i frickin' love my cousins! they're adorable, especially Ashely, who is five! i dominated the last Harry Potter book and when i say i dominated it, i read it in three days!  I LOVED IT SOOO MUCH!! i could not get enough of it! i cried, of course...why wouldnt i? i finished it at 2 o'clock in the morning and didnt get up till 12 and i had a Big Brothers/Big Sisters interview at 1, so i was really pushing it!

That tues. i left for  Cassie's house and i stayed there for about two wks. and we had even more fun! we saw four movies in the theatre:  Evening (really good!), Sunshine (Cillian Murphy), Once (amazing soundtrack and movie!), and Stardust (great!!!!). so that was fun...talk about spending money! picked up her brother from soccer twice a week and got to see the really hot captians without their shirts and had starbucks! we watched tons of movies from Blockbuster and i discovered my love for Paul Newman! we watched a couple of Danish movies and we were so interested in the language that we started to learn it! yay! we drove around in the country at sunset while playing Ray Lamontagne or the Once soundtrack! talk about so much fun and it was very relaxing especially when we wanted to get out of the house b/c her mom was getting on our nerves. i saw some old friends of mine and we went roller skating and Cassie and i got kicked out for doing nothing, literally! i finally met one of her friends that thought b/c i was Cassie's friend then i am awesome. ha! her mom, Cassie, and i went to the American Players Theatre, which is in the country and on a hill/mountain thing and we saw Much Ado About Nothing. it was good! at night they did a scene where all the lights were out except for one light on the man and i looked up to the sky and the stars were magnificent! just gorgeous!!!  i came back on the 12th of Aug. and i miss her a lot!!! she leaves for college tom.! good luck to her!! i'm excited for her!

the last week of summer was pretty lame...i didnt do much, but watch movies. i got my books for college and my student ID. sat. we were supposed to go to the Irish Festival, but it would not stop raining so we went to the movies and saw Hairspray! AMAZING if i may say so and Zac Efron is beautiful!! we came back to the house and played three rounds of pool and did pretty darn good! we had some appetizers and i was allowed to have a Mike's Hard Lemonade, which was good! we listened to the Hairspray soundtrack as we played pool. we then watched The Core and Christine made tacos down in the basement (where the activities were taken place). the movie was pretty intense and Aaron Eckhart was pretty hot! after the movie i watched The Graham Norton Show on BBC America and it had Dustin Hoffman and his wife on there and that was awesomely funny! i always laugh sooo frickin' hard with that show! sunday wasnt bad...i woke up, watched America's Next Top Model and flipped to I Love Lucy every so often, until the parents got home and we went to Cracker Barrel (i pronouce it Crocker and i have done so since i was little and just cant stop saying it that way! ha!) and then went out to get a bookbag at Sports Authority.  came back to the house and my dad and i went back out and i drove everywhere! went to target and got a cool water bottle for school and mango smelling razors, weird i know! then got money out of the ATM and drove back to the house...i watched the Hours (great!!) and ate dinner. at 10 o'clock i watched State of Mind and then went to bed!

i miss my mom, brother, my friends, and pets back home...it makes me sad thinking about it, so i wont bring it up unless i am already sad!









They say it takes two tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away

Senior Exit thing is coming up soon...my dad had a conference call with my counseller yest. i found out that i might not have to write a paper. now i just need to know what Newburn has to say about it. my dad is going to email him and let me know. yay. is it just me or is this year going by really fast? we are already in the 2nd sem. i was told we only have 18wks. left. i do know that we're graduating in 5months! eek!! June 10th for me at the Cricket Arena.

so thurs. i got called to do this writing test during first prd. and the scores from it will be compared with other students across the country...yay! it was only a select few of us seniors. in a way i felt special. we started reading some Beowulf in a Literature book and we have an independent read, Frankenstein. that's really exciting. i really want to read it. we have a collage(cant spell?) due in that class on monday and it has to have pictures and words that represent you...that's gonna be interesting.

SAG Awards on sunday! yay! i'm recording it b/c i wont be able to stay awake through the whole thing.

so we got Chinese food last night and i thought i had the best fortune ever! ok, everytime i get a fortune i read it and say "In bed" at the end so here it is:  "You are vigorous in words and action...in bed." haha! great...

so maybe some hw today and eat the rest of my chinese food. maybe some movies...hmmm...sounds good!

Ned was asking me if i was free so we can...you know. GAG!!! throw-up in my mouth. Mr. Crisp wasn't there and i was really sad, but we watched the rest of Psycho. my brother picked me up and we headed to his apartment and hung out there for a while. then left for the tattoo parlor and got some green tea. we were really mad to find out that it was closed, but we went to Taco Bell, then to Target. I bought a gift for the madre and we left for the apartment to watch V for Vendetta since i havent watched that movie before, but i we didnt finish it. Chad gave me a gift that he was gonna give me at Xmas, but oh well. it's a Hunter S.
