I went to the cast party last night, which was pretty kick-ass as far as partying goes. I rode over to Joey's house with Ashley after the show and well we didn't really know how to get there... So we called Joey! And he guided us to Joey land. And he had a blinking flashing light that guided us towards him and we nearly ran him over... XD Sorry Joey. Once we got there I don't remember exactly what happened, but there was DDR and Halo and food... And wrestling! Then later we all ran outside to go swimming and though Sam wanted to jump in first, Trav beat him to it. Sam was pretty pissed. But of course he got over it. I hear the water was freezing, and no I didn't go in because well I've had bad experiences with the water and especially exceptionally cold water. But we dubbed Coley hardcore because she was the only girl with enough balls to go in... XD Speaking of being hardcore, for those of you who weren't at the cast party (or just didn't watch this), you need to go to Google Video and watch the video How To Be Hardcore. It's just beautiful and amazing...and mockingly so. Hardcore! Let's see... on the re-cap, there was very much wrestling, and we even eventually got Trevor to wrestle, but Ty wouldn't because he refused to obey the No Shirt rule for wrestling. I took Alex down maybe once but he eventually wore me out because well for one I hadn't had any where near as much as caffeine as anyone else, let alone Alex (he had practically O.D.ed). I was drained. Everyone went out for a second run to the lake, which I watched from the porch...bein' emo for a bit I guess. The DDR was intense, and some people watched 28 Days Later and LOTR later. Both of which I've seen far too many times, so I didn't join them.
    I apologize to Brian; once he fell asleep I couldn't resist... I gave him Jigsaw cheeks with this Burt's Bees lip stuff I had lying in my purse and a Hitler mustache with mascara. I didn't fall asleep until six in the morning or so after I laid outside on the deck looking up at the stars until the sun rose with Sam and Ian. Sam claims he drew on my face after I fell asleep inside, but I don't know if he actually did. Doesn't matter now because it probably washed off in the shower. I woke up around nine-thirty, but I didn't actually open my eyes and get up for another hour. Apparently people were going to flush my new collar, but Sam saved it. I remember feeling Ashely pull it off but I was only half awake. Whatever I guess it doesn't matter because I have my collar now anyway. I came home, and I feel asleep, 'cause I only got three or four hours of sleep at Joey's house. I feel asleep around noon and woke up at three-thirty... So I didn't get an exceptional amount of extra sleep, but I'm alive I suppose.
    So Friday the middle school band went to State Band Festival...and pmg, we got a 1! *insert enthusiastic screams* Yup. Pretty amazin'. I think it was the lucky penny I picked up heads-up earlier that day; it was year of 1969. Oh yeah. Oh and hopefully they hurry up and schedule the juniors because I'm getting really impatient.
    So I made Cheesy Ramen3 today as another ramen adventure... I want Elly to come over so she can have a ramen adventure with me; I think it'd be fun! Whee for ramen. And I'm sad because Garett's in Grand Rapids and I haven't seen him in a week... Emo. I've been all by my lonesome since no one invites me to anything anymore... At least I have Jamie's kick-ass party to look forward to. That's going to be so awesome! Whee. I'm not exactly sure what we're doing besides the actual camping out part; last year we went to Mongolian BBQ, so I don't know if we're doing that again or what...
    I want to see the new PotC movie SOOOOOOOO badly!!! And Spiderman 3, actually. =D Well I should probably get going. Unfortunately I have stuff to do though I'm feeling a little too low to do any of it. Fucking Sundays.

What I'm escaping in: Sunday by Lo-Pro

    Well it's Easter and apparently my dad still believes in Easter baskets. Oh well... The occasional chocolate isn't so bad. No matter how juvenile it was to obtain it. Spring break was next to uneventful by standard, but my brain was going every where, that's for sure. I hung out with Garett on two occasions, and if I see him tomorrow it'll be three. Sadly, I didn't see much of the friends... Well, I saw a lot of Trav in more ways than one. And I saw Lindsey and Matt a lot in the aspect of hanging out... We had fun at the mall and whatnot. However, what took up the biggest portion of my spring break was writing. Yup. Did a lot of that. Especially poetry. If anyone's interested they can ask me about it and I'd be happy to send you some...  Did a little reading,  but not as much as I'd like.  Oh, and of course there was the Fashion Bug  modeling. Not as memorable as I expected it to be, but still an experience I won't soon forget.  I'm also turning into a YouTube junkie.  And not by Sam's means. I started looking up some music videos, and then some more music videos, and so on so on... But I have a renewed adoring of the Strokes. And not just because the lead singer is amazingly beautiful. Ha ha. My head itches. La revedere!

What I'm escaping in: Reptilia by the Strokes

    w00t! It's finally spring break! You don't know how bad the previous week was... I refused to do anything at school at all. Which sucked, because I had to do my algebra test retake and I still only got a fifteen out of twenty... Fuck. Whatever. Who needs math? And I know I'll be slapping myself in the face for saying that if I don't cut geometry for freshman year. At this point I'm just telling myself I'll make it.
    So, as April announced, my mom now lives two floors beneath Trav's apartment! All right! I went and chilled with him, Matt and Lindsey last night. We watched the Pick of Destiny and Travis modeled all of his different boxer's to Lindsey... Each with different songs and everything. She ended up picking the "Michael Jackson" boxers, which were the ones I stuck a Cheez-it in and the Cheez-it went everywhere when Trav flung his boxers off. 'O' Travis.
    As far as track goes, I'm totally quitting.  Not because I'm lazy or anything, it's really not like that, but Mr. Starr is a fucking pedophile. He always grabs your shoulder when he talks to you and he's got the "pedosmile" thing going on, as Garett would say. Hell. That, and apparently he's coached every other sport save track, but he has no idea what he's doing on this one. I think he might be tracking-ly challenged, or something. Anyway, it's definitely not as enjoyable as it was last year and it just seems to cut into my time for writing and friends and even fucking homework. These things take priority over recreational physicalness.
    I've decided that people who give me complexes just need to die. A good example of this would be Mrs. Hill. She makes us do a shit-load of editing for our essays, and then acts surprised when we forget to actually clearly write our opinion statement. I had it in the perfect spot the first time around, but after all the fucking editing work I took it out and never put it back in. Like people don't know my opinion! I'm pretty sure that was obvious through-out the whole essay... Whatever. I still got an A- and everything, but it's just the fact I put so much work into that essay and then get the most points marked down for something so stupid...
    For all of you who were actually at Java Jones this passed Thursday, I'm sorry I didn't show up and I hope you're not too pissed at me. However, you have to trust that you wouldn't have much liked me there because I was in a very off mood and wouldn't have been much fun. Yeah, I went and chilled at the library with Garett, but I wasn't blowing anybody off because one, it was just the one time (it's not like I haven't been there every other week), and two, there's always plenty of people going who don't pay much attention to me anyway. I'm not saying it as a defense, I'm just saying no one should feel too offended. I understand that Ame said she was leaving for a while, and I wasn't aware at the time but it turns out she's not leaving now anyway, so I guess it all works out.
    All right, so in terms of plans... I'm not sure what I'm doing through-out break, but I know on Tuesday Garett and I are running around town all day so he can see Traverse... Which ultimately could be dangerous because just today both Lindsey and Anya discovered that fourteen years still didn't give me the idea of Traverse City's geography. Damn. I also know that April is fleeing my clutches going to be frolicking through the meadows and sleeping in tents with Ashley and Lindsey and all them; don't know the story there, but I figure I won't say anything unless people are especially interested in me going. So, whatever happens, happens.  But after spring break has to end (a shockingly depressing thought, I know) I know have Solo and Ensemble on April 21 and State Festival on either May 4 or 5. Otherwise there is nothing remarkable to speak of, disregarding birthdays to come and whatnot. Oh, and for those of you who will soon slaughter me if I don't get moving on chapter three, please know that I'm working on it... I haven't forgotten!
    Also, I must say it once; Congratulations to Matt and Lindsey! All right! I'm so proud! Knowing that I helped in the progression of it all... Tis pretty awesome. Maybe someday I'll control fate. XD j/k I doubt it.

How do they know these things? Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty dead on?

Whee! I got my Band Festival medal today... Because we got a 1 and the high school didn't! XD Sorry Lindsey. But States will be awesome. Not to mention Solo and Ensemble... My piece is totally awesome, so you should all come see me! j/k You don't have to come.
So I'm totally using my ultimate gaming skills tomorrow so I can show Elly how to beat that My Chem. game... And I think Garett is showing up at Java Jones too, so that'll be cool. And then there's FRIDAY, which I didn't even know about! Until Lindsey mentioned something this morning, of course. Thanks April. I'm still not sure what's going on... For one, how is everyone getting to our house? I guess I'll find out all this stuff when April gets back from the play meeting... Otherwise, to say the least, I'm gonna be dead these next coming weeks considering track is starting again...Joy. Not that I don't want to do it or anything, but I'm going to be tuckered out... Ah well. It happens. Maybe I'll see more deer frolicking through the forest...XD Yeah, I need to work this weekend... I really should stop blowing those poor children off. O.o But who needs education, right? lol j/k
So, kudos for Ame! You actually tried out for a major part, huh? That's cool. Heh, didn't know the pageant came up so soon either... But I'm a tad disappointed I won't be able to help with teching this year...except that Ashli Schneigowski (sp) is Student Director; that part kinda makes me glad I'm not teching. -_- Well, see everybody Friday, I guess?

What I'm escaping in: Dance Dance by Fallout Boy...

Yeah, I definitely hate Sundays. I don't know why, but they always put in a very...emo mood. Grr. Well, I at least had fun on Friday and Saturday. ^-^ The story is most definitely best told if you ask Lindsey, Matt, Sam or I. However, I will say there were zombies, the destroying of Joey's comfort zone, overpriced suits as well as other articles of clothing...The day later included jousting in shopping carts in parking lots, wild goose chases, FUCKING EPIC, followed by dream experimentation and the hiding of the Travan. Of course, seeming as it was experimentation of MY dream, I feel compelled to explain...:D
So, I'm completely out cold except that I can hear the ringing of Sasha's bell, which I mistook for sleigh bells. So apparently the first thing I mumble out loud is "Sam sounds like Santa" or something of that sort. And, as I had been incessantly asking Lindsey to buy me a clarinet earlier at Target, I asked Santa for a clarinet (also out loud, I believe?). Well, that sonuvabitch Santa wouldn't buy me a clarinet, so I said "I'm gonna punch you in the face, Santa!" Once Matt and Lindsey realize I'm completely out, Lindsey tells me she shouted "What do you want for Christmas, little girl?" and Matt came up to my ear and whispered "Brandy wants a pony" I don't know many times. Well, congrats, it worked. I asked Santa for a pony, but he brings in a whole dozen in rows like reindeer hitched up to a sleigh, and we get in for a ride. Well, we're speeding out of control and of course there was an orphanage, and we were going to crash into it. So at the top of my lungs I scream "STOP THE PONIES, SANTA!!!", sit up and slam Sam in the face. Sorry Sam. However, it's a dream I'll never forget. -_-

Well, the week has been pretty much shitty, but hopefully tomorrow will make up for it. As far as I gather I'm going with Matt, Sam, and Lindsey to the Mall to chill for a while and then we get to watch 300!! w00t! And it's a half day, which not only kicks ass on its own, but there's no jazz band! I get to sleep in! Woo! However, it's going to be a long day so if I pass out again, no doing stuff to me in my sleep (Matt, Lindsey, and Sam!!!) *pout*. >.< Wow, it'll be the exact same people as last time... Well, hopefully tomorrow is a good day. Cuz everyone knows Matt's TOTALLY gonna help Lindsey and I pick up guys. XD Don't know how that's gonna work out in all honesty for Matt and Sam... I believe Matt's DDRing? Yeah, anyway... Should be good fun, considering the people I'll be with. And of course, I'm totally psyched for 300. That looks pretty amazing.

Well, check THIS out! I took a bipolar test...clicked every one of 'em. Hmm... Well, let's see who else is bipolar! Take it!

Well, would you look at that? It's the first of March! And talk about spacing out... I was wondering if there were thirty days or thirty ONE days in February (trying to find out when the first was), and then I remembered there are only frickin' twenty-eight days. Yay, March...Closer to summer! And the end of school, of course. Three months, a little over.

On another note... I started my werewolf story! w00t! It is titled Thirstywork. Yup. And for those of you who didn't know about it... It's basically about the war between vampires and werewolves. It's starts out with a vampire who later joins the werewolves and so on...

What I'm escaping in: Tourniquet by Marylin Manson

I woke up at two thirty today (I got exactly eight hours) and it felt like I was going to spontaneously combust. I couldn't move at all, and who knows how high my temperature was before I went to the bathroom. AFTER I cooled down I was at 100.7, and I'm now on Excedrin AND Dayquil. I'm not sure what the day will bring but I REALLY hope it doesn't incude that spontaneous combustion I mentioned. Not to mentioin spontaneous NOSE bleeds. I think my fever MAY have come from walking to Subway in the freezing cold (thanks, thanks a LOT Java Jones). Yeah, I had to have April pull me up just to get over to the computer. So now I am just sitting here, posting on LJ, watching The Guardian (it is indeed a good movie, Anya), drinking Vernors and hoping I don't burst into flames. ...I wonder if they really DO age it for three years for they bottle it...Huh...
This is going to sound really strange, but I actually MISS being sick. I haven't been sick in a long time (because like I have said, I usually only get sick because of April) and it's just a change of pace. I'm a really strange person, I know, but the feeling of sitting around and doing nothing because I couldn't move if I tried is a nice feeling every once in a while. *coughcoughFREAKcoughcough*
All right, so, the snow is nice and all, but I miss summer with a BURNING passion. For one, I miss being able to see Bill. And camping in my backyard with Ame and Lindsey. And taking walks through Traverse City at two in the morning, listening to the bullfrogs and people shouting "Hookers!" at April and I. And who could forget the festivals? I usually go to three or so...Cherry Festival, Mushroom Festival, Harbor Days, and usually the Northwest Michigan Fair. (A.k.a "The Big Festival" in my family) Come back summer!! Oooh, emo... Well, I guess I'm just going to continuously do nothing (maybe watch Jekyl and Hyde) while everyone ELSE in the world plays D&D and watchs Dogma. \=(

What I'm escaping in: (surprisingly) La Vie Boheme

Today will remain memorable for me, for looking through many old...articles, I've dismissed the silly thought of needing my childhood (I don't want it back, glancing at those memories), however I do miss the innocence. And now I realize the error of my recent ways. I need to stop and take a breather and get back to reality... Or the reality I never had, making it the opposite; fantasy. Fantasy is where my heart's always been (Oh, Planiiqua) and where I believe I belong. I don't honestly think I'm meant for this world (which sounds really dramatic, but hell...). So I'll just do what I used to do; watch the world, not be a part of it. This doesn't mean much to everyone else, (or it shouldn't) things will remain the same on the outside. It's just something I've declared to help myself out.

And here's the long winded punch-line I promised:

A DUOLOGUE WRITTEN BY TATSUKI

(CHARACTERS: Badger- The weasel
Giraffe- The talking muffin)

It is 12:59 and the market is about to close. Badger is hungry, so he enters the market.
BADGER: Maybe I'll get some potato crisps. [Walking down the bakery items aisle]
Giraffe: Excuse me, weasel!
Badger: Badger.
Giraffe: What?
Badger: My name's Badger.
Giraffe: Oh... Do you have a minute?
Badger: I think I left it in my other fur. Why?
Giraffe: [sighs] Badger..., do you ever feel...moldy?
Badger: Excuse me?
Giraffe: Old, I mean.
Badger: I was born this morning.
Giraffe: Oh. Then how are you walking? And how are your eyes open?
Badger: [Calmly, almost solemnly] I have superpowers.
Giraffe: [Eyes shift from side-to-side slowly] Are you with the government?
Badger: ...So what's all this about feeling moldy?
Giraffe: It's just, I've been on this bakery rack for a while now, and...
Badger: And it's time for a change! Uh, who are you?
Giraffe: Giraffe.
Badger: [mumbling] Weird looking giraffe. Then let's get going!
Giraffe: To get re-baked?
Badger: [Appalled] No... To the nursery.
Giraffe: Aww. [In disappointment]
****
Badger: Here we are, the badger nursery!
Giraffe: You mean weasel?
Badger: No. Here, take a bonnet and a pacifier.
Giraffe: Since when do "badgers" wear bonnets?
Badger: They do?
Giraffe: [Claps hand to forehead]
Badger: Feel younger yet?
Giraffe: [glares] No. [Rips off bonnet and begins walking away]
Badger: Wait! Give me another chance!
Giraffe: Fine. Shoot.
Badger: Let's try the park. [pause] [Holds out hand expectantly, waiting] ...?
Giraffe: Fine.
Badger: All right, let's get going.
****
Badger: How about swings?
Giraffe: 'K...
Badger: You feel any younger?
Giraffe: I never did this as a muffinlet.
Badger: Is that what they call giraffe infants?
Giraffe: What?
Badger: Nothing. [Under his breath] I'm so stupid! How could I miss that?
Giraffe: Any other ideas?
Badger: Well, maybe we should go to the place you were born, to remind you of your youth.
Giraffe: Sally's Bakery?
Badger: So your mother's name was Sally? [curiously]
Giraffe: I guess...
****
Badger: Wow, they look so much like you.
Giraffe: Of course. [Examining the other muffins]
Badger: Do you feel young now?
Giraffe: No, but coming here has made me realize that I don't need to feel young to enjoy my life.
Badger: Then you're a wiser giraffe than I.
Giraffe: I'm a muffin.
Badger: OH MY GOD, a talking muffin.

CELEBRATING FOURTEEN YEARS OF TATSUKI!

For as much as Elly and I talk about killing ourselves it's a miracle I'm still living, eh? I've made it this far I think I can go a few more decades...XD

It's amazing... I'm actually posting on LJ! I haven't posted in nearly two months. Anyway...Back to the whole celebration thing... I got ALMOST everything I wanted for my birthday...ALMOST. Here's what I wanted; my friends. It WOULD have been perfect if Michael had shown up. He never said it was a given that he wasn't coming, he just said he was going to try even though he doesn't like groups. That ASSHOLE. Ha ha...No, I don't mean it. I forgive him. I only felt a little awkward because Jo and Isu and Ame and Brian. But it's all good, I had fun...and much helium was sucked upon...I mean WHAT? Hi. But I still wish Ame and Brian would have stayed...:( Emo.
I came back from my mom's house and my dad gave me money for my birthday! I'm only five dollars short of being able to buy tickets for Elly and I to go see Taking Back Sunday! It's pretty much what we've continuously been talking about I don't know how many weeks... O.o Now I just have to convince my dad to let me go to Ypsilanti. Wherever THAT is. I just know it's Michigan, but I have to check to make sure it's on a school day because I know there's no way my dad's letting me skip school (AGAIN) for a non-extra-curricular activity.
Bleeeeheeeew. Valentine's Day is coming up. You know what that means. Of course, it would be NICE to be able to spend that day at Michael's house but I know my dad is going to be suspicious. >.> <.< Considering all the factors my dad would take into consideration and the fact that I make it routine to go to his house one day each week... I'm either spilling it or SOL. >.> <.< I have to come up with some odd excuse...or something... Or just say fuck it and go to Elly's house. XD I would go to Ame's except that I'm sure she'll be with Brian that day. I just want to be able to celebrate with someone whether it's Michael or not. It seems that I am in a more festive mood this year because I always want to celebrate the holidays more than usual, especially Valentine's Day. wtf, mate?
