oh, i'm soo sorry that i forgot this last night (but it was kinna hectic in the room at the time...a few conversations flying and so on...) mr. rogers died yesterday morning really early (you know, won't you be my neighbor?!) yeah, that guy! he died of cancer and...yeah, that's kinna sad. i watch him everymorning while i eat my breakfast and check my email (when my internet is working). but don't get the wrong idea, i'm just too lazy to change the channel to the news so my mom usually comes in and changes it for me. (hehe...mom's are amazing creatures aren't they?!)
oh, and a special thanks to rob and doug for letting me crash at their place and use their computers! without them i could not stay connected to all y'all back home! (ally, i'm doin it for you so i REALLY hope you're reading this! oh, and don't forget to go back and get that week you missed! hehe!)
well...i'm talking to andrea (the only person on this early on a day off from school) and she wanted me to tell everyone she says hi, so...there ya go andrea!
oh, so i didn't really write about my trip up here or really anything about yesterday in last night's blog. alright, i was SUPPOSED to leave at like 4:30 cuz i wanted to get here before rob went to his last class and while doug was here and everything so i could kinna hang out with them and all but i was with my smoothie king girls and...yeah. any of you who have ever really talked to me know that time just kinna flies right by. then i went home and chris was there cuz i had to give him somthing to bring to katie wynns when he went up for his audition. so i had to do this, that and the other (and pack...which took me like 5 minutes) and then...yeah... i finally left at 6:40 and had to get gas and money and all that good stuff. so i got on the road, no big deal. i had my music i was good to go. even though it was dark and i had NO idea, really, where i was going...yeah. so i got almost all the way here no problems but i got to the fork where you go left for college station or right for bryan and i took the right cuz i thought that was correct. then i started to doubt myself but didn't know where i was supposed to go or where i was. i finally pulled over (actually, it was the first place i could pull over) and went into a gas station to ask for directions (after calling everyone in my family about a million times...my brother's had a really funny message on their answering machine) and the guy in there looked like coach phil. YAY! anyway...he didn't know where navidad was (the street my brothers live on) but the girl had heard of it before so they pulled out all these maps and everything and were asking me if i knew where things were that i had never heard of before. then they started naming streets that i had been down last time i came to see my brothers. haha...well...i guess i didn't look too sure about the way they were going to send me cuz the girl wrote the directions down for me and asked if i wanted the phone number to the gas station incase i got lost. ISN'T THAT SWEET?! so i pulled up into the parking lot and as i was turning connie off rob called murgel. (hehe...using names, hope you're keeping with me here.) i told him the story, he told me his and...yeah. then i called home so they'd know i made it in one piece and it was all good and fun. rob and i went to freebirds for dinner cuz doug and jen were out at some play thing. rob ordered me a regular and i only got half way through it and now i'm still feelin the aftermath of it. I THINK I'M NEVER EATING AGAIN!! ok, that's a little extreme, but i think i'm gunna 'splode if i eat before lunch today with all the A&M gang. alright, i'm gunna hit the shower soon and then i'm gunna lazy around til i get my phone call! talk to y'all later! oh, feel free to call me or text me or email me cuz...yeah. whatever! i'll be home sunday though so don't you worry (but that might mean that i still don't have internet).

CRAZY MAN, huh!?! hehe...i dunno what i'm gunna do next year without them. it's gunna be sad...i just hope they feel the same way about me (haha...there's NO way they do though. g already told me it'd be a lot more sane without me...)

i think tc and i named my new bscl (if we ever get her back....*GRRRRRRR*) she's gunna be dolly. i'm not really sure why but when i asked tc if he'd heard anything about buffy he said not a one and that i had to realize we weren't getting buffy back ever again and that the new one would have to have a new name. i said "her name's dolly!" i dunno where it came from, but that's gunna be her name. tc thinks it's cuz she's gunna be like buffy's clone and the cloned sheep's name was dolly, but...yeah. i guess that could be it!? i dunno, it just kinna came to me like that.

chris had his audition at baylor today and said he did really well! maybe that's where he'll end up going to school!? hehe...ok, there, i wrote about you again, happy?! j/k anyway...so about a boy is an alright movie. i mean, i've seen better, but it wasn't too bad.
my day was pretty uneventful today. i woke up at about 7 and stayed in bed rolling around trying to fall back to sleep until i finally got out of bed at 8ish then cleaned up in my room a bit and took a shower. i was getting ready to eat lunch when i got a phone call from mrs. edman needing me to go over there for an hour or so so she could go get danae from the track meet in the woodlands so i got dressed fast and went over there. i watched my big fat greek wedding while i was there and THAT was a good movie, too! (i found a flix flub-for those of you who watch channel 13 in the mornings, you know what i'm talking about.) then i came home and watched a bit if dirty dancing (i love that movie) until katie e called me. we talked about her night last night with austin and...other stuff...for 87 minutes then i came back inside and had to get ready for church. so i went to church and came home and called chris to see how he did on his audition then ate dinner. then i watched about a boy and now i'm here. interesting day, huh?! nope, not really!

today was report card friday...we all know what that means, right?! j/k mine wasn't that bad, actually. no "n" in english to speak of at least! i got all a's. HOW CRAZY IS THAT? i think this is probably the first reportcard i've gotten in ALL of high school taht has all a's on it...AND GRADES DON'T EVEN COUNT FOR ME ANYMORE! shelby and i were discussing this in precal today. we both agree that it's a little nutty that when we stop trying...stop caring we do exceptionally well! (hehe, well, i don't know about all THAT, but still...all a's for me is good!)
it was a rather gloomy day today, do you agree?! i guess it wasn't too bad when school was going on, but when i was getting ready to go to my car sixth period, i walked outside (tc and g had gone outside and were both all "in awe" or something but i didn't know what) and the clouds were crazily really dark. it was almost scary (cuz i don't like to drive in the rain and all) and...yeah. either way, i called my mom while i was walking to connie in the sprinkles and she told me to go ahead and go to the gym and work out and i would feel better and if the weather got really bad i could either just stay longer or she'd come and get me...so i did just that. actually, as soon as i got there the rain REALLY start to hit so when i got inside the guys at the front desk told me i had to leave and take the weather back with me. (at first i really thought they wanted me to leave.) i worked out for an hour today. YAY! i ran, did that other leg machine thing (not really running but i don't know wha tot call it, so...yeah) then i did some arm thingies then i SWAM! YES, YOU HEARD IT, I SWAM! i probably coulda killed myself with the weather being like it was and all but i figured, WHAT THE HECK! yeah, i'm still here! : ) so i got home and was in a really good mood, despite the nasty weather. YAY! hehe

so today's smoothie king thursday with nichole (too bad ally couldn't come today...we had fun! nichole actually bought the veggie chips!) i FINALLY got the slim-n-trim shake. IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD!!!! i can't believe i didn't try it before, but i think i'll be getting it more often now. it was kinna funny. nichole's always telling me how she wished they knew her name (since it's always the same girl with ususally someone else helping us) and when she walked in, they would say "hey nichole. gunna have the usual today?" and then, of course, she'd say yes. well...today it kinna happened. it was our turn and i asked the lady what she thought of the slim-n-trim thing and she said she liked it so i got one then she turned to nichole and asked if she wanted the caribbean way. actually, she said something a little more like "so you're going to have the caribbean way? you always sit up here saying you're going to try something new but never do. hehe!" and nichole and i had a laugh about that. oh well! nichole, you crack me up, girl! we really DO have the same life. (good luck for you! i know what's gunna happen!) man, you really can call my love life! wanna fill me in on what's gunna happen next? hehe well...i better get to my homework, so i think that's where i'm gunna go. i'll be back later!

The e-mail below was written by Lindsey Yeskoo, the wife of Paul Yeskoo, a Christian Foreign Service Officer serving in Shanghai, and details her experience of meeting the President when he was in China a while back.
Dear Family!
It is a dull, polluted Monday morning here in Shanghai and we await news of President Bush's safe arrival back in Washington, DC. He just left here less than twelve hours ago. Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that no terrorist incidents occurred here over the past days. Security was tight, as you will have seen on TV. On Friday afternoon, a crowd of 600 consulate/embassy staff + families were invited to a reception in the Atrium of the Shanghai/Portman complex, at 3:15 p.m., to meet both GW and Colin Powell. We waited a LONG time (due to all the security we had to go through), but our anticipation outweighed our tired bodies and sore feet. (We had left the house just after 10:30 am in order to do all this!).
Finally, Bush was announced, and it was so incredible to see him walk in with Powell and take the podium before us, especially with all the recent events. Quite emotional for us all, actually. He gave a tremendous, candid yet heartening speech, and then was escorted down to the floor to meet the crowds. Everyone was of course behind a tight rope, and there were Secret Service men and security everywhere.
There was no way he could meet all, but he sure did a great job of shaking hands with as many as possible. Colin Powell followed immediately behind him; he did not seem so engaging, surprisingly. Maybe the Secretary was (understandably) tired and distracted after his previous trips to Pakistan and India. Anyway, the three kids and I were in the very front row, and had an extraordinary experience with President Bush.
Bush came along and shook Chris's hand first, noticing that he was all dressed up, and said, "You're looking sharp today, boy!" Chris was SO PROUD and SO PLEASED at the recognition (if only GW had known what a struggle I'd had to get him to wear a jacket and a tie)! Then he shook my hand and I told him how much we value his strong leadership at this time, that we are 100% behind him. He went on and took the girls' hands and talked to them. Then I leaned over and mentioned that we pray for him every day.
He stopped dead in his tracks (a definite security NO-NO... the SS men got REALLY antsy). He searched my eyes as if to see how much I really meant what I was saying. Then he gave me the most amazing and unexpected personal response, Paul said for a good 20-30 seconds. He told me what the effect has been on him, waking up every day of the crisis and knowing within himself that he is being faithfully prayed for. He almost pleaded with me not to give up, but to persist with it, for this is only the beginning. Then he looked me even more squarely in my eyes, and gave me a very personal and specific series of instructions about the very things he most needs prayer for, on behalf of himself and of the nation.
He urged me that the threat against America is very great, and that one of our focuses in prayer to God needs to be "the shielding of America"...and wisdom for him as he leads the country through this time. I don't know why, but as I looked straight back at him directly into his face, he let me see for those brief moments a tiny part of the agony he himself is going through, and the weariness. He finished the conversation by putting his hand on my right shoulder, almost as if it were the close of a commissioning, but affectionate too in a brotherly sort of way.
People were pressing in at this point and almost knocking the four of us right into Bush.. Many of them were the Chinese staff who work for Paul, who would not have understood ANY of that conversation; but others caught snippets and came afterwards to ask me WHAT we had been talking about.
The President moved on. Needless to say, the whole experience was unforgettable. I cannot begin to tell you how deeply it has affected me. Certainly, I do not think I have ever prayed for a leader or government or nation (or world)! so extensively as I have done since then. It was really quite an unusual and unexpected and powerful encounter."
What a blessing to have a professing Christian as President. Please take a moment after you read this to pray for him.. He truly does have the weight of the world on his shoulders. Pray that God will sustain him and give him wisdom and discernment in his decisions. Pray for his protection and that of his family. After you have prayed, send this 0n. Our President needs Christians around the world to be praying for him. As this makes the e-mail rounds, eventually there could literally be people praying for him 24/7. This would be good; no, this would be great.

you ever have one of those days?
i was at mr. sticker getting my car inspected (THANK YOU CHRIS!!) and i forgot my credit card in the car so i had to ask the guy if i could get it. when i got back with it to pay, all i said was "sorry, it's been one of those days." and he said "yeah, i know what you mean, i'm having one too..." amazing how he knew what i was talking about...or did he? sometimes i have to wonder. oh well. yeah, MY one of those days is like today. i just wanna crawl into a corner and sleep forever...or never wake up (aka DIE). i'm not really sure why but that's how i feel today. i wonder if anyone'd care...or if they'd even notice...probably not, huh!? oh well.
so we had a band test today. being in the mood i'm in (and i'm blaming it on the gloominess of the clouds outside today...i know, always something else for me to blame my mood on) i didn't really feel like caring about a band test. i mean, clardy doesn't use those grades when averaging grades anyway. it's just for chair placement and no matter what i'm gunna stay next to janalyn and katie's gunna stay in the middle with nichole next to the horns. that's just how we're gunna keep it cuz that's kinna how we want it. i gotta be with the barisax incase clardy ACTUALLY GETS AROUND TO TRANSPOSING MY MUSIC FOR ME! which he won't do so i don't nkow why i'm expecting it to happen. i couldn't find the beat i was supposed to be playing on for the symphony cut. oh well. he'll tell me i need to tap my foot, blah blah blah. ugh. I JUST DON'T CARE! : ( anyway...yeah. ok, i'm finished for now. i'm sure i'll be back later, though!

you know something i've decided is that in band, things (sometimes fictional things) fly so much faster than factual things. and no one cares to hear both sides of any situations. we're too judgemental and don't look at people individually for who they are but we take ONE situation and let it decide what we think of someone.... taht's actually a little funny. it's pathetic but i guess that's just people in general. i've just noticed it most in band cuz that's where i spend most of my time, but i probably happens everywhere. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying i don't do it, but...yeah. i'm finished now

have you ever had something happen to you (or not really to you but it kinna indirectly affects you) and while you know you should be happy there's something hanging on your heart. something that you can't put your finger on?! yeah, well...something like that happened today. wow...something just got me into a really depressed mood. i don't feel like doing anything, i don't feel like being anything, i don't feel like living. ever feel like this!? i guess nothing good seems to be going on right now. i wish i could blame it on the weather again, but the weather's been kinna nice. i wonder if it's cuz i didn't work out today at all...oh, i can't decide. i give up...

"i'd really like you to come to the ballroom tonight and give me your answer." now i gotta wait to see what happens...and you're gunna have to wait with me...let's sit together in wonder... he's what he had to say to sarah...

(hug, kiss) man, the looks she was giving. they sure changed from "it's me i know it" to "how could he have chosen her instead." ok, NOW let's see what happens... sarah's telling melissa about it. she thinks it's funny...no she doesn't but that's what she's going to say. she thinks he's shallow for lying. man...i dunno. melissa says "he's just not it. money or no money." (they're smoking buddies. sarah's really "PISSED"! all the other girls are leaving.... now it's just zora and joe in the house. the preparation...I'M GETTING NERVOUS!!!! hehe. he really hopes she shows up but she's packing all her stuff up. i wonder what that means... he thinks zora's gunna shoot him down. : ( SHE SHOWED UP!!!!! wow, the smiles are huge tonight. well, hers actually isn't. what's she gunna say...?! "i felt that you had decieved me. as i said to you, i'm really greatful for [everything] but i really was turned off by the fact that you had inherited the money... (he's smiling) i would like to continue the journey and see what happens!" YAY!!!!!!!!!!! "i understand your feelings. i got very frustrated cuz i was going to dinner with someone that...i was playing a game with...i wanted to take it beyond all this" (the ring was given to her) "i want to continue this and i'm going to give you this. i'm not going to put it on your left hand, i'll put it on your right..." (SMILES! and a kiss!) how romantic...WHERE'S MY PRINCE CHARMING?! he's congrated for choosing the right woman...(blah blah)...they both get..........THEY'RE BOTH MILLIONAIRS!!!!! that's awesome! the producers kept the lie from joe...wow...that's awesome! "this is part of the fairy tale." (speechless) "would you like to dance?" ok, now i know you probably didn't follow all the dialect stuff on who was saying what, but..." THEY KISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (she asked to kiss him.) next week...i gotta watch that too!!!

well...it was an eventful weekend (to say the least) but is not finished yet! i got home not too long ago from san antonio with mrs. edman. but let's not start there... friday i went to school (though i really REALLY didn't want to...for obvious reasons) and the senior class is in trouble for cheating on the frankenstein ltd. taht was interesting... the rest of the day was kinna blah, but my dad came and got me after 5th period so i could go to san antonio for the TMEA orch performance. we got there and listened *cough cough* to the whole thing and it was WONDERFUL! then mrs. edman and andrea found me after the performance and we walked down to the vip room to talk to everyone together. when i got in there katie ran up to me and smacked me right in the nose, but i kinna got the feeling she was happy to see me! (at least SOMEONE was.) chris, mrs. edman, my daddy and i went to the food court in the mall to eat dinner and then walked back to chris's hotel and then we all left. it was a nice night. oh, it was soo sweet seeing all the couples walking on the riverwalk together totally in love....awww....i HATE being single!!!!!
friday night my dad and i drove to san marcos for bobcat day and stayed in a BRAND NEW hotel! i must have been really tired cuz i got in the room, changed into my jammies, brushed my teeth, washed my face and got in bed. my dad had the tv on and gone in 60 seconds was coming on. i LOVE that movie and really wanted to watch the whole thing but i don't think i watched but maybe 30 minutes before i fell asleep. oh well. i'm glad i fell asleep first cuz my dad snores and once he starts...yeah. but i'm a pretty sound sleeper so...yeah! anyway...
saturday morning my dad and i got up, got dressed and were going down to eat breakfast. it seemed like everyone there was trying to use the itty bitty ONE elevator all at the same time. it was HECTIC but i'm still alive. i was trying to convince my dad that we REALLY could just walk down the stairs cuz we didn't have that much stuff to carry, but he was certain that we needed to use the elevator. oh well...whatever.
we left the hotel and headed to swt! that was a good experience. we got to walk a little bit of the campus, listen to a few talks, get info on different majors and so on and so forth. I GOT A SWEATSHIRT!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
then i got my phone call from mrs. edman asking if i was still planning on going back to san antonio for chris's concert. i, of course, was going to go listen to my best friend cuz i felt obligated (and i thought it'd be awesome fun) so i had her talk to my dad who was going to plan somewhere for us to meet so he could get rid of me and i could join her to the concert. so we met, blah blah blah, and we were off. wow, she's a GREAT conversationalist. we never really seemd to have an awkward silence. (at least i didn't think so) we made it JUST in time to hear all the songs and they were amazing! congrats to chris and austin and nick (though i didn't hear austin's performance).
the ride home from san antonio was also very interesting. i found out soo much i didn't know before! ; ) hehe anyway...yeah.
well...i also have confirmation small group tomorrow but i'll tell more about that tomorrow! BYE EVERYONE!

(well, i guess i should probably speak for myself here, but...yeah!) oh, i almost forgot. i wrote this in a blog LONG ago, but when you're really down on the opposite sex, the best thing to do is rate them. yeah, that's fun! and it makes my day!! hehe...well...sometimes, at least. yeah, so i guess that's it for now. hehe...oh, thanks janalyn for the comment about my clothes. you looked really cute today, though. i just was REALLY comfy!! : )

oh MAN!! i really shouldn't be sitting here typing this stuff cuz i GOTTA study for my precal test (which means i need to do all my homework and reviews and everything..since i got a 44 on the quiz) plus i have an anatomy test tomorrow that i don't really know what it's over (i think just pictures, but whatever) and i need to finish frankenstein since tomorrow's the outline part of our stupid essay test thing. I HATE THOSE KINDS OF TESTS!!! IT TAKES ME MORE THAN TAHT MUCH TIME TO WRITE MY PAPER...since we have to do an outline and all...STUPID ENGLISH IV TEACHERS!!!! (none in particular of course...just i think the assignment is stupid...like most of the ones we've done this semester.)
anyway, so far today i've gone to school (alone might i add..the two people i usually bring didn't need a ride today so i was a loner), then i stopped at 24 hr fitness on the way to old town spring to see how much a membership costs (yep, you heard it, i'm gunna try to get in shape...) and...yeah, then i went and ordered my sr. pictures. OH MY GOODNESS...THEY ARE SOO EXPENSIVE!! i didn't get that much stuff and it was still over $400. it's insane how much i'm paying for people to not even keep my picture. (which reminds me, i want to everyone's senior pics, so...HAND 'EM OVER!!!!) now i'm watching "while you were out" instead of doing my homework and studying for all my tests...i should probably go, shouldn't i? yeah...alright, i'm finished for now!

Hummm...
One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"
"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.
Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"
"And what will you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked.
"Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly.
"How much do you want for them?" Jesus asked.
"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you!! You don't want those people!!"
"How much?" He asked again.
Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your tears, and all your blood."
Jesus said, "DONE!" Then He paid the price.
Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. Or is it scary?
Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).
Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
Isn't it funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Isn't it funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.
Are you laughing?
Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.
Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.
Will YOU pass this on? .... I did

oh, i didn't tell ya about last night with jacob. well, for those of you who read my away message last night between 6 and 10:15ish, know that i was at church with jacob last night. but before i tell you about that, i'll tell ya what i did before that. i woke up really late (like noonish) to my family calling me to lunch. i ate lunch then got dressed and headed over to the baumgartner's house to work on my confirmation thing with katie sherrer, mrs. rasch, and mrs. baumgartner. it was rather LONG!! we didn't think it was gunna take much time, but it took nearly 2 and a half hours. oh well...we got it done...FINALLY! now we just have to wait and hope it all works out.
anyway, then i came home and got ready for jacob to come get me for church. we got a little lost (not TOO bad, but lost) on the way up there then had fun and went to the teen thing after mass. when we got out and were getting ready to leave it was RELALY REALLY foggy. (i have to admit i was really scared cuz i dont like driving in the rain much less the fog much LESS at night.) it was really hard to see. i assume jacob could see better than i could, at least that's what i want to believe, cuz i was...yeah...pretty much freakin out. glad he was the one doing all the talking! hehe... i learned a lot about that guy. he's really interesting! hehe..anyway...yeah. so that's pretty much how sunday was for me. : )
4:56 PM

ok, i didn't write about my day on friday cuz i wrote some stuff down in precal that i ddin't want to forget. since i left my precal folder (housing the piece of paper i wrote everyting on) in the bandhall over the weekend, i'm going to tell you about friday today! so here we go... (it's gunna be separated by class)
well..first, i got to school early cuz i had to park in a different spot. stupid me decided to park in the baseball lot instead of the bandhall lot so i had to walk kinna far after school instead of walking straight out the doors. it wasn't that bad, though cuz anh and jess were with me (i'll tell you about that later...).
first period (world history) was REALLY boring. we took a test and since it took me all of about 10 minutes i had the rest of the period to do pretty much nothing. i think i continued my note to my cousin (now 9 pages long) then "rested my eyes" a bit.
second period (band): after we worked on our choir, katie and i thought we should run through our solos (since every other day we'd just lazied around and talked or done homework or whatever) but...yeah. so there weren't anymore practice rooms open when we went to practice, so we were going to go practice in the bathroom (cuz...yeah...) but then decided to just practice in the hallway closest to the parking lot next to the stairs. it was really cool how the sounds echoed and all. andy came out of the bh, however, and disrupted us and..yeah...oh well.
third period (english): we went down to the ag show to take pictures of animals for our stupid project (that i still don't understand). jason and any are in my group (along with joey but he wasn't in class thurs or friday so he doesn't know that) and jason was taking all the pictures. all we know about our powerpoint (if that's even what we decide to do) is we're going to start it with face shots of animals and end it with butt shot as the "credits". {I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THAT, HOWEVER!}
fourth period (precal): there's a guy in my class named adam. mrs. harbison REALLY doesn't like him cuz he's always talking or sleeping, never doing what he's supposed to or whatever and all that stuff. there are about 6 of us in that class, however, that are always talking (5 girls and him) and...yeah. we think he's pretty cool. anyway...adam tried to give mrs. harbison his shoes to borrow a graphing calc, since you have to give an id or something to use one, but she told him she didn't want his shoes and that he should just write his name on a piece of paper and put it on her desk. about two minutes later the girl that sits in front of me and next to adam, tamara, brought her shoes up to mrs. harbison cuz she didn't have any kind of id and mrs. harbison took them without any question. HAHAHA!!!! sorry, i thought it was really funny, but i guess you just had to be there.
fifth period (anatomy): we went over our outline quiz from thursday...i got a 100 but...yeah. oh well...today was an open note test and i don't think i did too well... :-\
sixth period (heather/miree support session): i'm not really sure what happened on friday in this class...it was too long ago...oh well.
i waited with anh for jessica to do the Bible study thing and while we were waiting we went to the slot room to lay down cuz we were both really tired. so we're layin on my letter jacket (to get some pillowage) and jacob came up and started talkin to us. then he climbed into a euph slot (acutally it was brent's slot) and i kinna closed the door and locked it...hehe...and kinna sent people in to see him. poor karen thought we killed someone and stuffed their body in a slot...or that we locked someone in that was asleep... man, she doesn't think too highly of me, i guess. ANYWAY...then when jess was finished with BS, we picked up ginger then went to the mall. we were kinna looking for fancy dresses but anh (getting her prom dress) and jess (getting her banquet dress) were the only ones that got anything. (i was supposed to be looking for pink shirt for solo and ensemble cuz katie and i were gunna both wear pink--katie, katie, and i wore blue last year--but i didn't look so i didn't find.) we had fun at the mall, met up with mikey, then ate dinner at the food court. jess, ging and i were gunna go over to val's to watch sweet home alabama but anh went home with mikey instead. so, yeah, we went to val's and watched the movie then hung out and talked and fun stuff like that, then left and i came home and got online for like two seconds and went to bed. i THINK that's all the stuff that happened on friday, but i could be much mistaken. hope i hit the highlights for ya!

ann came over...wow...that was MUCH needed. thank you, ben and jerry!!! (I'M NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN...try to remind me that 28 grams is WAY too much for miree...) i cried...you know, i'm a very emotional person sometimes about some (hmmm...) topics. if you know the right things to say i'll be snifflin all night long.

5:52 PM

well...today was solo and ensemble at klein. i got a two on my solo (i did a REALLY yucky job cuz i just get too dang nervous when i have to go in there alone and all that jazz) but i got two ones on my ensembles. i was only signed up to be in one ens (the choir) but since nichole's STILL sick, i told her ens that i'd fill in for her if they needed me to. so i did. SPEAKING OF...i hope nichole's feeling better. we really miss her at school. i've been using her horn CUZ THE DIRECTORS TOLD ME TO WHILE BUFFY'S OUT and i think she needs to come back to use it again. i called her today to see if she was feeling any better and it sounded like she was going to die. poor girl's coughing up lungs, i'm sure. : ( anyway...yeah. so i sightread one ensemble and we got a one so...YAY! katie got a one on her solo and shes in the chior so she lettered now!!! CONGRATS TO YOU, F*O*X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so after solos, katie and i came over here to chill before the choir and we ate mac 'n cheese then sat in front on the fireplace to talk. we both got all comfy under blankets and when my phone went off to tell us it was time to go back to school for the choir we both just kinna sat there. i was SOO comfy that i really really REALLY ddin't want to get up. oh well. i guess i'm glad i did. ANYWAY...yeah. so i guess that's all i really have to say for right now. i'll write again later!!

i love doing the craft thing...i just wish i was more creative. i'd tell everyone what i'm doing, but it's kind of a secret since those select few who don't know that i'm talking about them will be reciiving one of these pathetic somethings from me very soon...hehe...i know, that wasn't helpful in figureing it out! but it included paint and paintbrushes and a plate and spraypaint (which you're not allowed to buy unless you're 18 with proper ID--even though the lady didn't ask to see my ID when she rang it up) and...the thing. I LOVE DOING THIS KINNA STUFF!!!! hope they like it as much as i do. : )

THAT TURTLE... just hope he doesn't push my button infront of the rest of the band cuz i'm gunna tell him what i really think and how i really feel....and it's NOT gunna be pretty...AT ALL!!!! (there just might be some bloodshed...and it's not gunna be mine...)

on a lighter note from my previous blog...tc and g think i'm insane. they think i bring character to the band cuz of my...insanity! haha...isn't that funny!?

ok, before i forget, my phone's name is MURGEL so if you ever see my away message and it says call MURGEL, that's what it means. (andrea and i named it one day...don't ask.)
so i went to the full orchestra concert tonight. you know, it might be totally selfish of me...and incredibly rude of me to think (much less say or type) but i gotta get it out. it's SOO depressing that i'm not in full orchestra. i mean, i KNOW katie's better than i am. she's awesome and, don't get me wrong, i LOVE her to death, but...goodness. i'm a senior. I DON'T HAVE NEXT YEAR! she's going to be in it the next two years pretty much no matter what (unless she quits band) so could i NOT have done it my sr year? i mean, COME ON!!!! i want to support them in all their hard work, but it's a bit hard to be there listening to them WISHING that i could be up there participating in all of it. i would have given ANYTHING to be doing orch. i guess that doesn't really matter though, cuz i'm just not good enough. i'm SOOO jealous of katie right now...i'm such a jealous person...oh my goodness...i'm HORRIBLE!!! : (
on the way home andrea and i had a really depressing conversation. on top of the whole full orchestra depession thing guys are just...well...just that, depressing. goodness. i guess it's my fault for not really knowing what i want, but sometimes i wish they could see into my heart and see JUST how what they say affects me. i mean...UGH!!
you know, it's really REALLY a bad thing when i get a hug from chris and instead of making me feel the slightest bit better it makes be feel that much worse. (for those of you who don't know, chris is like my BESTEST guy friend in the whole world who gives THE BEST hugs in the whole world...at least in my opinion...and they always make me feel better.) he came over tonight (well...was here when i got home from dropping andrea off) and i got outta moby and saw him walking over to me and i just started to tear up. (oh...he came to get something my mom had for him, by the way...if any of you care.) i don't know what it is right now that's making me so....__________ (i dont know what's supposed to go there, but i'm sure you can fill it in yourselves). i think the weather is playing with my emotions. it's really hard to be happy and everything when the weather makes me want to stay in my PJs all day and sit in front of a tv with sappy "chick flix" and a big tub of ice cream and just cry my eyes out all day.
someone explain to me why i have to make things soo difficult for everyone...including myself. why can't my life be like a fairy tale. you know, i'd be a "cinderella" if at the end of the day (or story, whatever) i could have a happy ending. right now i just want an ending, though. ANY ending...including the stand incident. EVEN THAT WOULD WORK FOR ME RIGHT NOW... (by the way, thanks andrea for letting everyone know how insane i am...j/k i don't care!) UGH...*tears, tears, tears*

i forgot to post it yesterday, but i was talking to nico, john, nick, katie and...someone else, i think, yesterday before full orchestra rehearsal and they don't believe i could smoke weed. of course i dont (and would never think of it) but we were all getting a kick out of how much stuff you could put inside a bscl. michael is POSITIVE that despite how much i tried to convince him that i REALLY do smoke weed, i really don't. so instead we've decided that i smoke REED. YOU GET IT SMOKE REED?!?!? he's sooo clever! oh...i love my fish. (even though john's sure that michael's not my fish cuz i'm not a euphonium...or michael's not a bscl.) *for those of you who DON'T understand band talk...that's what a bass clarinet player puts on the mouthpiece to make a sound* anyway...i am going to get back to my...well, right now i'm just watching "while you were out". i think i'm addicted to the learning channel (yes, that's what tlc stands for) and the shows that are on after school about remodeling stuff. anyway..i'm gunna go make me a pita pizza thing then sit back and watch my tv show!!!!

(an update on the family i asked you to help pray for on the 3rd)
I just received word that they have found the body of Nannette's cousin Colleen, and she has been ruled an apparent suicide.
The search team found her about 2 hours after they began this morning, in the same location the Louisiana authorities said had already searched. Funeral services are being planned, there are no details yet.
Nannette thanks you for your prayers and asks that we continue to pray for her family during this sad and difficult time. God bless you all.

ok, so y'all might think i'm psycho for thinking all this, but i'm gunna tell you my story from my "Heather and Miree Support Session" (aka 6th period in the bandhall) today. so i'm sitting in the bandhall (in the setup thing from 5th period) talking to sean and listening to him practice his solo when heather walks in with a story. *blah blah* she tells me this story and while she's talking i was playing in the stand in front of me. well, i put it all the way up and turned the stand part horizontal and was leaning it over my head and said something like "oh, look! it's an umbrella!!!" heather and sean and david started laughing at me cuz i was being REALLY stupid and random and yah duh yah duh yah. i let it fall back flat to the floor (cuz i had it on two of the three prong things at the bottom) and it kinna shook a lot. random thought popped into my head so i said it outloud... "wouldn't it be funny if the top came off and chopped my head off" or something like that. so we started talking about how funny the headlines of the newspaper would be for something like that and how people would come in to interview david and heather and sean and they'd all be like "taht was the coolest thing i'd ever seen" and they'd be laughing too hard at how stupid it was to be sad or anything. then we got into the topic of death and who would go to your funeral and i think i decided that i want to die like that just to see what the newpaper would say about it and who would attend the service. but if i was DEAD then i couldn't see or read. so i decided not to do it. ok, that wasn't as funny as it was today at school...we laughed about it (and i REALLY mean laughed about it) for over 15 minutes. and heather and i brought it up again at the end of the period as well. alright...well...yeah. that's it for me, i guess. i'll write more later!

(this was an email my mom forwarded to me the other day about someone that goes to my church. i hope y'all will help us pray for those in need. don't worry, it's a true story...i know the person we are praying for.)
I not only need for you to pray for my family, but I may have to do some fast footwork this week to cover all the goings on this weekend.
I am very close to my mother's only sibling and her children. They live in Lafayette, where we lived for 8 years before moving here. My cousin has a youngest daughter (25 years old) who has been suffering from epilepsy for the past several years. Her seizures were enough under control that she was able to enter LSU vet school with high grades. Last semester, however, her seizures began again. She became so despondent that they checked her into a local psychiatric hospital. When they let her out they had adjusted her seizure medication without consulting the doctor that is treating her. They were organizing a trip to New Orleans to visit that doctor, when they refilled medication that the hospital had given her. No mention was made at her release that the medication caused severe depression and the person taking it needed to be under constant watch. Colleen was lethargic and her parents were very concerned. She slept 20 hours a day. My cousin was sleeping on the couch downstairs in case she wandered in the night, but they were having wood floors put in the next day and he went to bed upstairs at 12:30 AM on January 15. When he woke up at 5:30, Colleen was missing. They still have not found her body or her alive. No leads have given any clues as to where she is. The police is treating this as a suicide and have not organized any search for her along the banks of the nearby bayou. Dogs in boats have not discovered her in the bayou. Another wrinkle is that the last victim of the mass murderer in south Louisiana is not only from Lafayette, but also was in the same hospital as Colleen (but not at the same time.) This paast weekend, I was there helping them to make fliers and distribute them. If they have not found her or organized a search, I am going to need to do so this coming weekend. I am going to spend a lot of my time trying to get in touch with agencies to see how to go about organizing a search.
Pray for the Price family. I know that you are wonderful at giving your support. Nannette

so i THOUGHT i was going to be fine. but then at the confirmation big group thing tonight it was in the church and the ac wasn't on (or something) and it was really hot. and i guess i hadn't eaten enough or had enough fluid after giving blood and i nearly passed out. one of the other girls that was with me when i was giving blood passed out (REALLY PASSED OUT) before me and then when she came back i started feeling bad but figured it was "all in my head" and that i was actually fine. but then i blacked out and i was already sweating a LOT cuz...yeah. but the lady that was standing behind me leaned over the seat to me and asked if i was alright and i said yes but she escorted me from the church to the priest room anyway. i felt like a loser, but i'll get over it. anyway...that's the most exciting thing that's happened to me since i last blogged. TOMORROW'S MONDAY!!! (i hate mondays...)

(poopis...i wrote all this stuff out then pulled up another page before posting it, so i'll try to remember what all i had writen...)
TODAY (after church) I GAVE BLOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!! it wasn't nearly as painful as i thought it was going to be, but the finger pricking thing kinna hurt a lot and the needle to take blood out was a bit painful going in and coming out, but other than that it wasn't too bad. there were 4 of us giving at the same time that had never done it before so we all sat anxiously awaiting and nervous together. the guy that was taking my blood was really nice. he kept me talking so i didn't have to think about the needle and the blood and all. it was pretty cool.
