purple water

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ...even though I feel like crap and should be asleep in bed. I went home sick during school with a fever (100.7). tsk. so in spite of the halloween, I shall share a scary moment with you. I've been saving this for I don't know how long.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER NINTH: I took two showers.

Now, you may be asking, "What is so important about her taking two showers?" Well, here's something you should know: I don't take two showers in the same day. Ever. Well obviously except for what's noted above, but other than that, never. Two things worth mentioning about the showers, though:

The first shower was early morning. Suds were white.

Second shower was late night. Suds were purple.

I know what you're thinking. "Purple?! What on earth made purple soap suds?!"

Here is my answer:

:D Because Kit and me had a little too much fun when we were hanging out. Isn't that exciting? scary, I know. even though it happened a long time ago, but wahtever. I was like "I am NOT going to church with multi-colored hair!" so yeah. that was fun. for reference, this was the saturday before I came to school with the tips of my hair blue. even though no one noticed that, either. ah well. I still have some blue stuff, too. maybe I shall surprise you all. stay tuned!

off to bed,

flying bible-bearing pigs

The Bible says..."Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."

I still believe pigs can fly. I don't have to see to believe; they only fly when I'm not looking.

SEPTEMBER 21 – OCTOBER 27

11:50 AM

Me and Joel broke up.

But it was ok. 5 weeks and a day, a record to live up to from now on. Right? And it doesn't hurt as much as I though it would. But I will portray what does.

On our back to class from lunch, walking together like we always have. We walk in silence. Not uncommon for us, but uneasy, as most silent things are for me. He speaks. "I think we ought to break up," My heart plummets to my stomach. I breathe, trying to smile. I ask why. He explains. "It's just not you. You're beautiful and all, and talented too, but I just don't think I want a girl right now."

Oh well. 5 weeks and a day…who'd a thunk it, right?...

Ah.

But then I tell Kylie and she says that she's happy (not yay happy, just relaxed happy) that we did, b/c apparently he's been flirting with someone backstage in the play and whatnot, so I say posh to that. Didn't mean much to me when she said it, only when I saw him after the play that night. Then John (the idiot he is) says "oh, look, there's joel with somebody else!" so I leave and go for a drive, bawling my eyeballs out and not particularly knowing where I'm going, and I end up at david's doorstep. by this time I had kinda settled down, since my radio cut out and I was annoyed about that, and I knock on his window (since I saw someone at the computer in the upper level, and thought it silly to ring when there's someone right there). David comes out and I start bawling again. and he knows. he just knows. so we go out for a drive on the "country" roads on the other side of wolf. and we talk, and talk, and talk, and talk. which was nice.

I love that kid. (not like that, you crazy people.) he's such a comfort to me. and as we told each other multiple times, we always will be. I'm so glad to have a friend like him. makes me smile in a time of despair.

tears

and the two or three people I want the most attention from I can't even begin to bring it up to tell them...

isn't life wonderful?

I know mine isn't as swell as it should be.

more to follow. anne, visit the other.

so how are ya’ll? I’m good, thanks for asking. hehehe. little hyper, more distracted than anything, but hey. today’s post is going to be one of those where I vent, so here’s your chance to back out!

-cough- anyways. so today was pretty good. chemistry was funny, we were talking about how if you don’t know how to solve something, guess something with moles (the number, not the animal). so he was asking all sorts of questions, and one of them was “why is Illinois flat?” and we all go “MOLES!” and we all start cracking up after we realize what we said and he imitates one and goes “whoo, I’m a mole, let’s eat all this dirt, whoops, a rock. Aw, look, now it’s flat!” It was so funny. it was a pretty good imitation, too. hehehe. Band was pathetic today, practically all the brass was gone, so we had a woodwind sectional the whole time, which gets pretty boring when you don’t have the same part as everyone else. oh well, that’s what I get for choosing a scholarship instrument. :P US history was boring, had a sub and did “work” which no one did, and theory was even worse because our sub never showed up, so we didn’t do anything then. but of course, that’s when my day got considerably worse…

so I was talking to one of my friends in that class, and she told me some disturbing news. I’m not sure if I should direct that info over mainstream internet, but lets just say I found out one of my friends isn’t being the best that they should be. in the context that I now know two people that do drugs. lovely. and I thought they were so much better, and to find out they’ve been doing it for a year! I’m just horrified. my friend from theory wants to tell the drug-friend’s parents, but she doesn’t know how…. to get a hold of them, let them know and not break the friendship at the same time…. ugh, a dire situation if there ever was one. sheesh, and I don’t know who I can tell that won’t go off and have a domino effect because of me. eh.

Off of that. Distracted, leave me a comment as to what I should do, but don’t leave me a paragraph. email’s for that. yeah? …

huge bruise on my leg the size of… -calculates- …a baseball. go soccer in gym! not.

anyways... toodles!

ps- want to know something scary? I found someone CONSIDERABLY more crazy than me. I mean this is like scary-crazy when he’s like this. it’s so creepy! (by the way, mike, that would be one of the mystery contestants. :P are we keeping up with that? just for kicks?)

Fwah, I forgot to post this last Saturday:

MONTHAVERSAIRY! con me novio!

hehe. go us.

Anyways. I'm so happy, I understand music theory! and not only that, it's getting easier! I'm so proud of myself. And I get to resume lessons the 30th! huzzah!

So East's last game was last friday and I think a score was 6-46 them. I don't know for sure, I left after halftime. (I know, tsk on me! My cousin Kasey came instead and we hung out places. I took her driving and whatnot, fun stuff.) So yeah. :)

Nothing else of interest to say. Other than my play is in A WEEK FROM THIS FRIDAY.....GAH! I didn't think I would make it this far. I start the whole shibang, so what if I can't get myself to go? stuck with fear? then what? ugh....

for them, for myself

You can say everything
But it won’t change a thing
I’m sick of the secrets
You can say what you mean
But it can’t change a sin
I’m sick of the secrets

And I don't know where to look my words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness

The last girl in [her] last reason to make this last for as long as [she] could
First kiss [and her] first time that [she] felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told [her] to look past everything [she] had ever learned
The final word in the final seconds you ever uttered to [her] was love

that is why I am strong with my relationship, mike.

5 more minutes of first block.... hehehe.

SO. Carl's emo cow post was awesome, anne is a nut, mike won't update (slacker!) and I'm hearing rumors! AAH! drama rumors, no less. oh dear, I won't get into THAT, will I...

I was going to say something. Oh! I love it when peolle comment on how cool I look when I'm flagging. ex Carl last night when he was talking about how flagging is cool but he would never do it. silly carl. silly anyone who thinks flagging is easy! so many things to think about...and speaking of flagging, I learned the JP routine last night.... go me.

anyways, g2g. to gym! to gym... ew.
