In the cafeteria of a Catholic school, the children were lined up for lunch. At the head of the line was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note and she had placed it in front of the apples. The note read: "Take only one, God is watching."

Further down the cafeteria line was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies...

One of the boys had written a note of his own. The note he placed in front of the cookies read: "Take all you want, God is watching the apples."

USA Today in its 3/10/03 edition had a large article on two Cowboy Churches in Texas. They printed the Cowboy's Ten Commandments posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Fairlie, Texas

(1) Just one God.
(2) Honor yer Ma &Pa.
(3) No telling tales or gossipin'.
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meeting.
(5) Put nothin' before God.
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal.
(7) No killin'.
(8) Watch yer mouth.
(9) Don't take what ain't yers.
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff.

Guess cowboys just kinda tell it like it is!!

i don't get it! i'm SUCH a jerk (like all the time) and yet i still end up with the greatest guy in the world. he seriously knows almost ALL the bad stuff about me and still hangs around. somehow, however, i try to make things NOT work with him. how much sense does that make? (exactly what i thought!) but that's how i am. i get happy and then break up with him (or try to as this weekend has showed not true!) all those girls that feel that their guy is the best...i think i have to disagree! your's can't have been through as much as i've put poor chris through and still be with you! i don't know any completely sane person that would! sometimes i wish i could break up with me for being such a jerk! but he doesn't...he just lets me have my mood and gets over it!

tonight he told me that all these things i think i'm feeling are on the outside and i need to listen to what's on the inside...well, to me that means i don't know what's going on cuz i thought what's on the "outside" was my "inside" talking. i asked him what my inside is saying and he told me exactly what i needed to hear...but how did he know that's what i needed to hear?! how come he knows me better than i do? i just don't get it! IT'S NOT FAIR!!!

speaking of... i think david's girlfriend broke up with him tonight becuase she doesn't want a relationship (sound familiar?!) and he took it pretty hard. my mom called me over at chris's to tell me that my baby needed a shoulder to cry on, but by the time i got home he was already asleep. poor thing...he likes her so much! mom's thinking that maybe david should bring helen flowers like chris brought me flowers today. i don't know...i just feel soo bad for him! but i hope that he knows if he needs me i'm here for him! i love him soo much! poor sweetie!

have you ever had a time in your life where you feel like everything's going too perfectly and you have this nagging feeling that something bad's gunna happen?

i don't know why, but i'm constantly feeling like that right now. i'm SOO happy and, yet, at the same time i'm unbelievably not happy at all. i don't know why i get all confused like this (you know what i'm talking about) but i do. SOMEONE PLEASE STOP ME!!!! i'm gunna do something i'm gunna regret and i know it but i don't know how to keep myself from doing it...or if i even can!? i mean, if i feel SOO strongly about doing it (even though i know i don't want to) then maybe that's how things are supposed to be, right? or maybe i'm wrong. i don't know anymore. oh well...

ally eiche wrote something in her blog the other day "It's amazing how much you take something for granted until you realize how quickly it could be taken away from you..." and i guess i've never really realized it before. i take SOO much for granted and i never go back after i've lost it to tell someone how much they meant to me. this is a VERY broad (i know) thanks to everyone who's ever done anything kind for me and an appology to those who i have hurt in any way. i wouldn't be half the person i am without any one of you not being present and apparent in my life and i appreciate all that you do (even those of you who don't know what you're doing...or don't think you've done anything at all!) THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!

i got this from katie wynns about the first year of college...really makes me think...and not want to go to college...

A year has passed and now we stand on the brink of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything, and yet nothing being the same. In one month we will relunctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears, say goodbye to people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to the people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left. We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends.

We will go back to the places we came from and go back to the same things we did last summer and every sumer before that. We will come into town on that same familiar road, and even though it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday.

As you walk into your old bedroom, every emtoion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you have become. You suddenly realize that the things that were most important to you a eyar ago don't seem to matter so much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand. The memories and the stories from school won't mean anything to anyone at home and yet you resent them for that, that they can't share that happiness with you.

Who will you call first? What will you do your frirst weekend home with your friends? How long before you actually start missing people barging in without calling or knocking? Who will get pizza at 3AM with you? How long until you adjust to sleeping alone in a room again?

Then you start to realize how much things have changed, and you realize the hardest part of university is balancing the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately to hold onto everything all the while trying to figure out what you have to leave behind.

In the matter of one day's traveling time, we will leave our world of living next door to our best friends, walking across campus to eat, instant messaging, 8AM classes, and the perpetual procrastination to a world that will seem foreign to us despite the fact that we lived in it for 18 years.

But it is different now. We now know the meaning of true friendship. We know who we have kept in touch with over the past year and who we hold dearest to our hearts. We've left our high school world to deal with the real world. We've had our hearts broken, we've fallen in love, we've helped our best friends overcome depression, stress, and death, and we've stayed up all night just to talk to a friend in need. There have been tims when we've felt so helpliess being hours away from home when we know our families needed us, and there are times we know we have made a difference.

One month from now we will leave. One month from now we will take down our pictures and pack up our clothes. No more going next door to do nothing for hours on end. We will leave our friends whose random emails and phone calls will bring us to laughter and tears this summer. We will take our memories and dreams, and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world.

One month from now we will arrive. We will unpack our bags and have dinner with our families. We will drive over to our best friend's house and do nothing for hours on end. We will return to the same friends whose random emails and phone calls have brough us to laughter and tears over the year. We will unpack old dreams and memories that have been put away for the past year.

In one month we will dig deep inside to find the strenght and conviction to adjust to change and still keep each other close. And somehow, in some way, we will find our place between these two completely different worlds...

ugh...boys think they're SOO funny... chris came over yesterday and was sunburned from splashtown so my mom told him to get in the spa to cool off. well, OF COURSE, he said he wouldn't get in if i didn't get in but he was already in his suit and i didn't feel like getting mine on, so i didn't. we went outside and i sat on the side while he stood on the first step of the water then i pushed him (kind of?!) down to the bottom step. yeah, well...my mom kind of told him to pull me in so GUESS WHAT HE DID!? yeah, he pulled me in fully clothed. ARGH! anyway...that's my story from last night! yesterday val, ging, ann, chris (b), and i made shirts almost ALL day...it was interesting. i still have to finish 4 cuz we only finished 4...

SIX YEARS!!!!! oh well...we'll see! yeah, so he drops me off and my mom had told me that he had to be in HIS bed at 1:15 since he has to be at work tomorrow (or i guess now it's today) at 7 for vacuum duty. and we're sitting outside my house (on my driveway) and i said something about him needing to get home and he said "but we're outside!" (see previous entry if you don't understand). it was a bit humerous to me!!! anyway...alrighty...i'm tired and my eyes hurt so have a great weekend!!!!

ok, so thursday was kleb's 2nd swim meet of the season and we ran into some more stupid problems. blah blah blah things ended up working out (don't really feel like dwelling on the bad right now) and kleb boys and girls won! YAY FOR THEM!! too bad like 15 people missed events and so on and so forth...but they're gunna hear about it at the swim meeting!

anyway, so after the meet chris, david, and i go to mcdonald's through the drive-thru to get some food then come back here so david and i can do our homework and so chris can enter the meet info into my computer. blah blah...it's time for chris to leave and i walk him outside. something gets us started on a LONG and DEEP conversation and we sit down and kinna start arguing. then holly and ray come outside cuz it's time for ray to leave too and mrs. rasmussen was saying something about it being 10 or something like that...i'm not really sure. chris and i were talking and thinking at this point. so mrs. r comes out a few times to update them on the time and the last time ray said "i know, i have a watch too!" well...chris and i (me in tears) hear this and can't help but start laughing. ray and holly heard us and we started talking. ray got mad cuz chris always gets to stay longer than he does and ray wants to stay longer! *sad puppy dog face* ray said that we must live in a different time zone or soemthing cuz chris gets there before he does and doesn't have to leave til after ray. it made me laugh even harder to hear this cuz chris always seems to say something about ray's car being at holly's when he comes in the door. then we started talking about how long it takes to get the guys to leave once we get outside so ray decided that once we're outside it's not time anymore. (cuz we always lose track of it) it was loads of fun!!! hehe...yes, a WONDERFUL conversation! made me laugh!

i went to the Y today to reinterview for the same job i had last year. woohoo...cary remembered who i was!!!! anyway, so i thought i was going to have to say some stuff about whatever but i walked in and he was like "do you remember where you took your drug test last year?" i, of course, said yes and he told me that i had to go get my drug test done today and that i needed to fill some stuff out blah blah blah! so i went to the quest lab or whatever it's called and peed in a cup and blah blah. the lady wasn't as mean this time as last time...or maybe it's cuz i'd done it before so i wasn't all worried and whatnot?! i'm not too sure. anyway...yeah. as soon as ann calls me i'm gunna go pick up my PROM and banquet dresses from the alterations lady. hope they look alright cuz i'm gunna FREAK if they don't. anyway...yeah. i'll write more later (like when i get home from the concert i'm going to with chris!)

oh yeah...at UIL yesterday we got straight 1s. (if anyone cares)

HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY!!!!

12:44 PM


|  

ok, i have a lot to write and i don't know how much time i have to write it, so this might be shorter that it should be. anyway...yeah.

WEDNESDAY: i don't remember much about the SCHOOL day, but after school was interesting. chris came over tuesday night to make shirts for the kleb swim meet and...yeah. so wednesday after school he came over to finish them and then we went to kleb (after i got dinner for us and our brothers). well, we got there about 4 and coach was reminding everyone of what they were swimming and so on and so forth. blah blah! so...ok, to make a long story short, chris and i drove, beat the bus to KF, got out, found out that we had to have the meet entries on a disk, didn't have a disk, had to go back to kleb to get the entries on the disk, remembered that we didn't have the password to coach brewer's computer (which was the computer chris had been using to enter everyone into events), i dropped him off at kleb and went home to find brewer's home phone number (why i have it is a LONG story), we both called and couldn't get through so chris brought the software over here and we loaded it from my computer onto the disk...[understand...the meet was supposed to start at 5:30 and by this time it's nearly 6:30] then went back to KF and the meet was already started and everyone was doing the times manually. WOW!! we got a nice taste of coaching! hehe. but it all came under control by the end, i think. then chris and i went out for ice cream to "celebrate" still being alive! hehe. now that i look back on it, it really wasn't that bad but at the time it sure was! hum-de-dum

YESTERDAY: oh my goodness. last night was amazing! i LOVE that mass soo much (Holy Thursday) at CGS. my uncle mike from kingwood came last night because i'm always talking about how wonderful it is and how it's my favorite day of the catholic year and...yeah. he wrote me an email today telling me that the way we celebrate it is so much different than any way he's ever celebrated it before and that it moved him in such a way as he's never been moved before. granted, i didn't cry nearly as much this year as last year, but i think i had more "bad stuff" going on last year than this year and my mind wasn't totally on mass last night. (and i'm TRULY sorry for that!) ann and chris (b) stayed with me last night as i prayed WAY past the end of mass. but then we all came over here and called the other chris and...yeah. OH MY GOODNESS!!! how on this green earth could God give His Son for me. i mean, MAN! i'm soo broken (confirmation retreat) and i have so many faults. God knew all that i would do wrong. He knows them before i know them...before i do them and He STILL gave His Holy Son, His ONLY Son, His PERFECT Son for me and my sins. WOW!!!!!! how amazing is that!? *pondering*

12:33 PM

rubber ducky, you're the one
you make bathtime soo much fun...

(ann, chris, chris, val, ging...that's for you guys!!)

11:27 PM


|  

so chris and i just finished making shirts...they should be interesting when finished. ok, the shirts are for the kleb swim team since we're the "coaches" b/c coach brewer left and the new coach knows nothing about swimming. (it's good experience for us cuz next year we're gunna try to coach together!) anyway, so, yeah. i bought the shirts today and then we went to make them. well, my mom (of course) was on chris's side. he said that i should make the shirts since he doesn't know what he's doing and i've done shirts before but...yeah, whatever. anyway, i did the pawprint for both of the shirts, but he had to write my name cuz my mom told me to write his name and it took me too long or something like that so i told him he had to write mine. then it was 11 and my mom told chris he had to go home. so that was fun! and ann and chris were over here (we spent pretty much the whole night together) and...yeah. OH, I DECORATED A DRY ERASE BOARD FOR THE SWIM TEAM AS WELL!! i'm not too happy with the way it turned out, but everyone else says i'm overreacting, so i guess it's ok. (chris witnessed a VERY dornier thing tonight...by the way.)

so ann and i went with her chris to get his tux. i think i did more deciding than either of them (which is sad cuz i'm VERY indecisive!) but it's all good. i also went to get my dressed altered but NO! NO! NO! the lady says i have the wrong size dress and for her to beable to alter it then right way, i have to get another dress. (right now i have three prom dresses in my possession from the same store...better return at least 2 of them really soon!) ok, enough with that... i'm gunna head to bed now!

GOOD LUCK SECOND BAND AT UIL TOMORROW!!!!!

oh my GOODNESS...it was soo pretty. ok, so chris and i were sitting outside and whatever..ok, so he looked up and saw a "totally outstanding" ring around the moon. wow...it looked REALLY cool. if you've never seen it...oh, you REALLY should have seen it. i bet it would have looked SOOO much better had we not been around a million billion lights, but it was STILL really cool. anywho...yeah. i asked my dad if he knew what it meant and he said "rain" so i take it that means there's a lot of moisture in the air and the effect is kind of like when you can see a rainbow in a sprinkler or whatever. (i'm going to look it up in a minute and maybe i'll come update this.) but yeah, so i just HAD to write that in here...hope someone else got to admire it!

haha....so i'm sitting here talking to mikey, andrea, zach and chris while picking at my toenail that's about to fall off (i don't know why though...it's kinna annoying) when my dad walks in and says "miree, i know your nickname!" just fyi on the way home from church my mom and i were talking and somehow i came up with a nickname for chris (edman)...nacho. ok, so that's it because whenever chris, chris, ann, and i go out it's confusing as to who we're talking to. so i'm calling my chris "nacho" cuz it's "not-yo(u're)" chris. anyway...so my dad walked in and told me that my name's "jamaican" cuz he comes home from work a lot and asks me "whacha makin'?" cuz (as he sees it) i'm always in the kitchen making something. so chris and i are not "nacho" and "jamaican". funny, huh?! i can't wait til he gets here so i can tell him!

3:28 PM


|  

so i didn't get to see chris yesterday (haha, two saturdays in a row...but we're together every OTHER day...) but he called last night when he got home, thank GOODNESS! i didn't know he was going to college station, but he did...while i was at a picnic...hehe...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANN!!!!!!!!

samedi, avril 12, 2003

ok, so last night was SOOO wonderful! ok, to make a long story short, chris, chris, ann, and i all went out. the details of the night, however, are coming....

(drum roll....)

ok, so it started about 5:45 when i went to pick chris up to drag him up to church with me to meet ann and chris. (to make this easier, we'll call chris edman "e" and chris baumgartner "b".) so e and i got there and the other two weren't there yet so we had to call them and they were still at ann's house but they were on their way up to church cuz ann had to drop some paper off and...yeah. ok, so at like 6:30 we got to pappadeaux (i think that's how you spell it) for dinner. the reason we went was a) neither chris had tasted crawfish before and ann and i really like it and b) it's lent so we can't have meet on fridays and (i'm for one) getting tired of the fish fry. so we went out and...yeah. ok, so ann and i were going to order the EXACT same thing but i decided that i'm really not that hungry so i got a caesar salad and a virgin (haha...that's what YOU think) strawberrie daquari (sp?). anyway, since the reason we were going was to get crawfish, ann and i ordered fried crawfish for an app. and chris (squared) ate theirs faster than we ate ours!! (i think they liked it.) so then e ordered shrimp and b ordered the seafood platter and ann ordered crawfish etouffee (what i was going to have) and i ordered my salad. (blah blah...i don't think anyone else had as much fun at dinner as i did cuz i was having fun with the waiter...his name was kerke!!) so something, i guess, i found really funny..and i laughed about it for like 5 minutes. i think everyone else with me thought i was really insane, cuz they were looking at me REALLY funny and...yeah. but that's ok, right? they all love me!!! tomorrow (sunday) is ann's birthday so we told kerke and he gave us a free dessert! it was SOOOO good! but, yeah. ok, so after that we headed back over here for some blankets.

ann and i wanted to go sit somewhere and look at the stars so we decided to drag the guys with us. so we got here and my mom asked what we were doing and she was like "hey, miree, bring some of your big pillows to sleep on!" ok, FIRST of all, i only have one big pillow (which caused a lot of problem cuz it's ann's when she comes over to talk about boy problems and such and e really wanted it...) and SECOND of all i couldn't believe my mom said that. oh well...i ran upstairs and brought the big blue SOFT pillow and another one i figured we could use along with two blankets and we headed out.

well, we got to (the spot) and..yeah. that was fun! i'm not going to get into too many details with all that stuff, but let's just say it was pick on miree night, i think. (and i don't appreciate that either...) but we decided it was probably time to leave when the sprinklers were coming on and...yeah. so we headed back over here for a while. yeah, we turned on "10 things i hate about you" and watched that. well, i think ann and b slept through most of it and i slept through half of it and i have no idea how much e saw. oh well...ann and b left about 1:30 (i guess) and i brought e home about 2 cuz i was SOO tired that i couldn't get up and then on the way to bring him home i couldn't keep my eyes open. (not a good thing....) oh well...yeah, so it was a GREAT night, to say the least! i hope everyone else had as good a night as i did last night. (too bad today wasn't as wonderful...)

GOOD NIGHT TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:28 PM

yeah, so today we went to a company picnic thing for my dad's company and, DUDE, i got a bit on the burned side (not in a bad way, though...it'll be gone tomorrow...). TODAY WAS SOO BEAUTIFUL! yeah, so my dad wanted to take moby, but my mom and i were like "why take a car that doesn't even have a sunroof when we could go TOP DOWN?!" yeah buddy, today was TOTALLY top down weather. wahoo!!! david and i had some "brother/sister bonding time" today. we went on the paddle boats at the picnic and were probably out on the water for 30ish minutes (at least). it was nice. i don't think we did very much talking (nothing deep at least like with me and the rest of the boys) but it was nice to have some "just us" time, ya know? yeah, so that was fun.

my mom and i set out to find the LAST needed part of my prom "outfit" and...needless to say didn't find it. we got MANY different suggestions from MANY different people, though. one funny once consisted of plastic wrap and duct tape...don't ask...

have you ever wanted to talk to someone SOOO badly that you wished they could read your mind and KNOW to call or whatever. yeah...that happens to me a LOT...you'd think that certain someone *ahem* would get the picture *ahem* but he *ahem* doesn't ever seem to. oh well... :)

i'm gunna do another entry for last night cuz...yeah, i think that deserves its own!

10:38 PM

wow...you know what one of the greatest things in the world is?! right now i'm sitting here talking to my brothers...all three of them! richard's in japan, doug and rob are in college station and we're all in a chatroom talking together! it's WONDERFUL! we do this every once in a while (when we're all on at the same time) and ususally stay up until the wee hours, so if i'm late to school tomorrow, this is why!

and to think that i had SOO much to write in here. oh well.

ok, so chris and i went to the park today and walked our dogs. it was kinna funny cuz dutch and i went yesterday and today chris and angel came with us. angel's a bit...spastic, might i say? hehe...but she's cute. i think by the last 1.3 miles angel was finally ok with dutch and the whole walking thing. (we walked 4 miles by the way.) yeah, so that was fun! i bet we looked like an old married couple...minus the old...and the married. hehe...ok, moving on...

goodness...i had SOO much to say, but i forgot it all now. oh, timma stopped by today (i didnt know this until just recently cuz my mom told me) and chris was over and apparently he got inside and said "wow...brings back memories of 8th grade" (yeah, chris and i being together and him coming over i guess?!) wow...how the years go by! i can't believe it's almost over! :(

oh...we started to skin the cat today. yeah, i didn't think i was going to beable to do it, but once we got started it wasn't that bad. i just had to forget that it was a cat and pretend i was just pullin stuff apart. the smell y'all smell in the first hall actually isn't that bad once you get used to it. (don't get me wrong, i'm not going to go bathe in it, but...yeah.) but yeah, that's the cat stuff. it's actually kinna cool skinning the cat, i mean...it's awesome to see how the skin is connected to the muscle (via fossa) and all that. i accidently cut one of the main arteries in the leg, though, so i gotta remember to cut it out of the pelt tomorrow. (oops!) alrighty...i guess that's it...mom's turn now anyway, so i'll try to write again later!

everyone pray for katie's brother cuz she's going to send him off to kuwait tomorrow!

well...here i am. it's 11:13 on a sunday night and i really don't want to go to bed. i really don't want to have to get up in the morning and go to school either. but at least i'm USED to getting up at 6:30 to be at school (unlike david who is getting up like 2 hrs earlier than usual to get to school for 7 to swim for the kleb team). what can i say? i guess next year he'll be gettin up early and (hopefully, fingers crossed) i'll be sleepin in, depending on when my classes are scheduled for.

you know that moment between sleep and awake when you think you're asleep but you still know what's going on around you...kind of... is that the same moment that i always seem to jump in the middle of the night or are those two different moments? does anyone else jump randomly in the middle of the night? it's CRAZY, it's not like a limb is falling off the bed or anything, i just...scare easily, i guess even in rest.

i think i'm getting a cold...my nose is trying to run, but it's not even quite walking. it's more like pooling at the moment. should i go blow the snot out of it (haha...literally the snot) or should i just... oh, i can't decide. the decisions i have to make at such a late hour. and what to do about them!?

yeah, so chris came over today when he got back from san marcos and one of the first things he said was "guess who i saw?" well...COME ON... you go to san marcos, who am i gunna care that you saw? YEA, YOU GOT IT...CHRIS SAW KATIE. how crazy is that? my two best friends saw each other one weekend and i didn't get to be there. oh well. he seemed happy about it. I'M SOO GLAD SHE'S GUNNA DO MY HAIR FOR BANQUET AND PROM!! she's amazing. if you don't know her you're REALLY missing out on one FUNNY FUNNY girl!

well...i'm getting a bit tired, so i will be hitting the sack soon! write again tomorrow!

ok, so Holy Thursday is not this week but next week and the Mass starts at 8:00. those of you who would like to go with me, just let me know and i will give you directions to the church or get directions to your house from you (if you need a ride) or whatever. this coming sunday is Palm Sunday which is another awesome day. (i love all of Holy week but thursday and this coming sunday are my two favorite days.) just thought i'd update that idea since i said something about it earlier in the blogging process. yeah....ok, i gotta do my Macbeth stuff now. (and study for my cat test.) i'll try to write again later!

WE GOT IT ALL FINISHED!!!! things aren't finalized, but i think we got it all good and worked out. ok, so our "group" consists of...*drum roll please* ann rasch, chris baumgartner, valerie berlin, sean murphy, ginger robertson, david cash, (anh and mikey maybe) chris edman and ME! YAY!!! :) (jessica's not going with us cuz she's going with khan in his group but we're gunna meet up at the dance...or so says the plan...) ok, so yeah. it took us maybe 2 hours to get everything figured out and typed up and all. man, we're GOOD! hehe...we got it ALL figured out (even times we're doing everything). we're not going out to dinner. (i really hope we have as much fun as we say we're going to...) instead of doing that, we're gunna house hop for different courses. (for instance, we're having the main course here, at my house.) and we're not renting a limo. (yeah, we're cheap dates.) *blah blah*

chris baumgartner's eagle ceremony was tonight. it was really nice. i'm glad i got to go and be there to support him on SUCH an awesome day for him. (now if chris would do HIS! hehe)

i guess not too much happened today around here... chris is in san marcos with guard for the winter guard competition and they're supposed to get back tomorrow, so...yeah.

I'M REALLY REALLY EXCITED ABOUT PROM NOW! i have to admit that i was dreading it a bit (ask chris...i've been really uptight all week thinking about it) but i'm really not anymore.

(copied from zach's blog)
today while i was skipping 6th period in me heather david were talking about edible diseases when, when tc came in, i noticed miree was giving me "the look" and i thought about it and realized that she has more versions of "the look" than anygirl i know so then i got to thinking about all the different versions of "The look" and then i got the brilliant idea to make a book fulll of pictures of different looks, i'm gonna make a fortune off of that. and then tc said i should call it THE BOOK OF LOOKS so i will. when i'm filthy rich i can say that i owe it all to "the look". (the only thing he forgot to mention, is if he's going to use my looks, I'LL MAKE A FORTUNE TOO!!!)

we washed the cats today. i don't remember what we finally decided to name ours, but it's a girl. one of the cats in our class (amy miller and lauren rankinen's, actually) is preg so we'll get to see the kittens and everything. this should be interesting. hehe...yeah, dead cats are rather heavy. i can't decide if i'm excited about all this stuff or if i'm really not ready for it. i did alright today with the washing but that's NOTHING compared to what we're going to be doing. my stomach hurts a lot now, but...yeah. i'll never beable to look at roadkill quite the same ever again.

so i feel really bad...i don't know why, i just do. and i'm a horrible person. does anyone else ever feel like that? yeah, well, i do right now. and chris drove by and stopped in front of the house (my mom says) but he didn't come in. i don't know why but i really wanted to see him tonight...oh well...... man, yeah... ok, anyway.

david and i just finished watching 10 things i hate about you. i LOVE that movie so much! it's a really good story line...and sometimes that's exactly how i feel about things. WHY MUST MOVIES RELATE TO MY LIFE SOOO WELL? you know, sometimes it's cool, but the good part never seems to coincide with my life. but i guess that's just a fact of life, right? haha....

wow...i have SO much i could write in here. since i'm low on time and i'm grouchy and tired, i'm not going to write it now, but i'll tell you what i have to write about.
1. cat
2. zach's book of looks
3. disease foods
hopefully tomorrow when i go to write those they will still make sense, but no promises! anyway...I HATE ENGLISH AND I HATE THE PROJECTS WE DO!!!!! ok, i'm finished for the night. good bye!

you ever have one of those days where you know there's something wrong and that something's going to happen but you don't nkow what it is or when it's going to happen or WHAT is going to happen? yeah...had one of those days today. (hehe...i had a lot of "those days" today!) anyway...i heard something today and it makes me wonder...am i doing the right thing? and is it for the right reason? is the other person invovled doing the right thing?! does he/she even know why he/she is doing it? hmm...let's ponder this one a moment... somehow things always seem to work out, though because that someone always seems to know what to say to make me loosen my doubts (cuz i can't be totally rid of them...i just wouldn't be miree without my doubts!) and to make me less worried. (i wonder if it's an act?!) man, here i go overanalyzing the situation. if katie e read this she'd be MAD at me! heeh...anyway... thank you to everyone that said something to me today (i'm sure you all know who you are) and i hope that you all had a good day. i'll write tomorrow after the DRUM LINE SHOW THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE GOING TO!

ever had one of those days where you can't really figure out why everyone's mad at you? like, you know someone's mad at you but you know there's not really much you can do about it and then you feel like everyone that "looks" at you is mad at you for something?! maybe it's just me. i don't know.

(ally, i thought...i'm thinking...don't worry, this will all get fixed eventually. i just have to wake up to reality. I AM HAPPY!)

so...yeah. after school today (well, after a *cough* nice conversation with corley and juan) chris and i went to see coach brewer. that is one funny (and blind) guy! but anyway...he asked chris a funny question and instead of answering it, chris said "well, i'm taking [miree] to prom." hahaha (knee slapper) ok, i guess you kinna had to be there.

(moving right along...)

mikey said i looked "sexy" today. hmm...i think it's just the shirt! (hehe)

so i have my lesson tonight. this should be interesting. i have mine then chris has his. to tell or not to tell...hmmm.... hehe. one of us will spill the beans, i just don't know which. (wow...that sounds like...nm)

so today we did the heart lab. mrs. ishee said we're gunna start the cat at the beginning of next week (at least 5th period is cuz we all have our stuff in) so y'all enjoy the last fresh breaths of air down the first hall of the main building. soon it's gunna smell like cat juice! YAY!!! i really can't wait but i kinna got the feeling from something she said today, that we don't get to choose who we work with for this. i think she's choosing our partners (which kinna sucks b/c i was gunna work with heather and andrea)...oh well. ok, i'm finished for now! i'll talk again later if i can think of something interesting to talk about!

hmmm...yeah. well...for those of you who DON'T know already, chris and i are "together" now, not just going to prom together. yeah...i'm happy but if i told you and i didn't seem overly excited like you probably hoped, it's cuz... humph. yeah...i'm afraid i'm gunna wake up from this dream and none of this is going to be true...none of it will have been happening. and that'd SUCK! do you know what it feels like to want something SOO badly for three years and then finally get it and not know what to do with it or how to feel about it? ok, multiply that by a million, take it to the depths of infinity and you'll still only have glimpse of what i'm talking about! (name that movie) ................ yeah... :)

well...all the choir people were back today! i bet they didn't get much sleep (cuz they were all doin it in class!) those of you that went- i hope you had a great time!

there's a stupid mosquito flying around in this room (actually, i think there are a lot of them) and i've been bitten like 6 times in the last 10 minutes. I CAN'T CATCH THEM! *argh* i think one just bited my neck. *scratch scratch* AHHH!!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! (now my neck's bleeding cuz of them stupid bugs.)

hmm...what else... wow. you know, i never thought planning for prom would be this difficult. i think that the guys should decide everything since they asked. if you really want a date to this elaborate "overrated" dance, you should plan all the stuff (at least chris should for our part of it) cuz i'm not a very decisive person. i HATE making decisions. i'll shoot ideas right and left but i don't like to be the final voice (for the most part) becuase someone always ends up not happy with what i choose. *humph* alright...i think that's it now! i'll write again later if i can think of something else to say.
