Hammertime!

Michael and his mom left yesterday for Pensacola.  They get to apartment hunt for THREE WHOLE DAYS before they have start the drive back.  yay.

Michael is moving down to Florida. which is exciting. I get to go down and hang out over both Christmas and Spring Break. He's going down for college and he says that he wants me to do the same. I don't know. I need to figure everything out before I start making major life choices like that.

Lovesong by Annie Stela is amazing & is paired here with footage from the new hit TV series, Castle.

This is great! Visit here for a hilarious story.

I haven't been on here in such a long time.  Wow!  Alright, so...Michael & I broke up back in July on our golden anniversary, the 7th. Yippee. I'm still working @ Chuck E. Cheese, but I think I'm going to get fired.  If I do, I'm going to go work somewhere much better.  Thursday night I'm going to the 12:01 AM showing of Twilight.  I'm really excited!  One of my friends, Taylor, is coming over tomorrow and we're going to make hoodies and t-shirts to wear.  It should be a blast!  My friend, Chaney, from CEC quit to work at Del Rio.  I absolutely adore Chaney & will miss her tons.  Her last day is Sunday.  Oh, Chaney...I love you!!  Bye, bye!

I got a job at Chuck E. Cheese, and I've worked three days so far, this last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Also, I tried out for drum major in Band. I should find out later today who made it. That's about it.

Today is Michael and I's 2-month anniversary for this time around.  In the past, I've never spent much time dealing with Valentine's Day, but this year, I want something.  It makes no sense, but I'm afraid that if we don't celebrate it, I'll lose him. Just an irrational fear I have. I guess I'll just have to deal with it, though.

I've been feeling good lately but also kind of sad.  Last year, I began to get closer to my friend Alex.  We talked for a few weeks, but then stuff started to get weird.  Lately, when I see him in class or in the hallway, I get very sad.  Although I'm very happy with Michael, I really miss Alex.  So, if you happen to see this, Alex, just know that I miss you and feel like hanging out sometime soon.

I've also been thinking about whether or not to begin penpalling with a soldier or someone like that.  I believe it would be very fun, and I really want to know how people in Iraq and other places feel about the paths their lives have taken.  If anyone has penpalling stories or war stories or something of the sort, I'd love for you to share them.

While cleaning my room, I found a few addresses for some of my childhood friends that moved away.  The first one is named Xenia and she lives in St. Louis.  The second one is Carissa and she lived in Texas last time I checked.

I've really been missing everyone lately.  I hope all is well with you guys.

I have fallen deeply madly in love with a new website. New to me, that is.

Here's a link: http://ixpats.com/bestoftheweb/

It's really cool. Check it out.

Here's a photo I found on it, too. Isn't it hilarious?

I was cleaning my room today, and while I was discarding some of my old papers, I stumbled upon a poem that I wrote for a class last year on my birthday. It's so dumb, in my humble opinion, but I figured I'd put it up here, in case anyone wanted to cringe at it's ghastliness.


Quick Statement: I really do care about people. I'm just joking about being glad that people are dying. I do think that maybe if people would just quit going at it like monkeys, then we wouldn't have to worry about Earth not supporting us and our growing population forever and ever. Maybe you don't worry, but I do. With that said, READ ON!!

Ok, this morning I was driving to the school to drop off my sister. I didn't go because I don't feel well. Anyways, on the way, I asked Kelsey (my sis) who her favourite actor, actress, and child star were.

She said:

Actor: Drake Bell and Josh Peck

Actress: Hilary Duff

Child Star: Miranda Cosgrove

Obviously, she really likes the show, Drake and Josh.


I tried to think of my answers to the question, and this is what I came up with:

Actor: The ever-popular Johnny Depp. I used to always say Cary Elwes, but I have evolved past my need for a romantic comedy every weekend.

Actress: For actress, I had 2 choices, again. Umm...I like Rachel McAdams and Jennifer Aniston. I honestly love Rachel McAdams' acting. She has stolen my heart with Red Eye and The Notebook, 2 fast favourites for me. Jennifer Aniston is someone I really look up to. I don't know why. She seems really down-to-earth compared to other Hollywood stars. I really appreciate that and admire her for that.

Child Star: Okay, this one goes to Dakota Fanning, hands down. I cannot think of a single child star I like better than her. I saw a picture of her in an old People magazine yesterday and started talking about some of her movies. All of my friends looked at me like I was insane. Apparently, they all think she's creepy, but I really like her.

Sooo...we have been in school for a couple of weeks now. And, I must say, I do not enjoy it in any way, shape, or form. I thought last year that it could not possibly get any worse, but I have been proven wrong.

In order to help keep myself sane, I have joined several activities. First, I joined 2 book clubs @ the school. I'm a part of the yearbook staff. I started a group of girls who will meet for movies @ least once or twice a month, and I'm going to becoming a part of a study group for my Geometry homework.

Aaggh! I hate this! It's so annoying. Right now, I'm listening to a song called Crescent Moon at Dawn by a Liu Ming-Yuan. It's pretty much just traditional japanese music. It helps calm me down. I have recently become obsessed with ancient japanese culture. I went to the public library and checked out a large quantity of books about the ancient samurai of the East. It was really interesting. I had difficulties putting it down.

The first band I became a fan of was actually Aqua. You know, the group that sings Barbie Girl. And yes, I still take time to go watch their music videos on youtube.

I have updated and added pics from the Stephenie Meyer Event in St. Louis. I have more to put up, but those are on my other computer.

And now, I must away to my bed.

The CD/DVD advertised here looks interesting to me.

Summer is coming to an end, and fall is rushing in to replace it....Thank God!!! I absolutely abhor summer. Autumn has honestly got to be the most beautiful season ever. Wonderful browns, reds, and oranges are all around us. It's so awe-inspiring outdoors in the falltime. And, when you go outdoors, you don't have to wear a jacket b/c it's cold or a tanktop b/c it's hot, of course you could still wear them if you wanted to. You can wear comfy clothes b/c the temperature is perfection. Of all the best things about fall, one of my favourites is the rain. It smells so good when it rains, and the noise of the water hitting the roof is so relaxing. Oh, it's just amazing. I truly love fall. I can't say enough good things about it.
School starts for us tomorrow. The first day's gonna be an easy one, but starting on the second, I have to be at the school everyday at 7 am for band. I love band, and it doesn't bother me to get up early. I've always enjoyed getting up early for band. I mean, I get up, take a shower, go into the kitchen, make myself some hot cocoa, and wait until everyone else wakes up. It's a good life. Whenever I get onto a career track, I hope to work early in the morning or nights, just so that I won't have to deal with the rush of people. Unlike others, I enjoy solitude. It gives me peace of sorts.
