crazy insanity

yeah, yeah, i know i know...ive been REALLY awful about posting. i could blame this on tra/tech week. i could also blame it on my parents. but it really is my fault.

so last week was tech week (or whatever you feel it should be called. i have my own opinions).
tech week=not much happened.
i got to hang out with cooper when we were both offstage.
he gave me a "pocket prayer" with the chorus of "Awesome God" on the back. :)
i got to read this book that mrs. cummins let me borrow called I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. it's insanely good. finished it this morning.
i got a 95 on 8, 1-paragraph essays i had to write for english. thats really good for me.
AND the show is this weekend (starting tonight) and its ALMOST OVER!! (finally.) i love doing the musical, but it drives me crazy and takes SOO much energy out of me, its insane.

so all in all, its been an.....intersting week.
i say interesting b/c not much happened to make me very happy.
but i also say it b/c my schedule was so off-whack.

also, surprisingly, i got FULL tuesday at lunch. i am NEVER full. ever. i mooch off of people (i try not to take stuff they want or w/o their permission, i really do) until theres no food left. then im not hungry, but im not full either.

Kutless, Casting Crowns, little sleep and AMAZINGNESS!!!!

the concert last night was SOOOOOOOO awesome!!!!!! im posting yesterdays this morning b/c i had like 2 min when i came home from rehearsal yesterday and i spent those two min changing into something more...crowded-arena-full-of-ppl-screaming-and-jumping-and-going-crazy appropriate. LOL.

anyways, yesterday was pretty funn. i got to sleep until 8-ish :) i cant really remember much except for the concert...OH YEAH!

cooper gave me a note yesterday. he is SUCH a dork (not for the note, for the CONTENTS of the note.) i cant even remember what it said, i just know that it made me laugh......LOL

write more later!

school and friends and high fives

soooo....i had school today!!!!!! finally! may i just say that it has been TOO LONG?!?

anyways, many things were good about school today:

• i got my DBQ essay back from mr. spooner-- 100/100!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!! im sooo happy!
• i got to talk with my friends again, and
• messing up a high five 3 times before getting it right. i love my friends! :D

bff's, emails and school!

not much happened today...was home alone while my mom ran some errands with my bro (including getting his hair cut (: )

sooo...my bff made me smile AND crack up today, on two seperate occasions! the first one was when she emailed me, inquiring as to the subject of my ponderance with the care that only a friend and sister can give. (sorry...was reading little women today. unfortunately, books/movies affect the way i tlk for a little while). then later, i got ANOTHER email from her, and the subject alone made me crack up, seeing as how im not used to that from her... "lookie what i found!" LOL. luv ya grly!

also, WE HAVE SCHOOL TOMRO!!! i kno, an odd thing to be exctied about, but im happy b/c im tired of staying at home, and i desperately want to see my friends again. so :)

YAYAYAY!!

lol--rehearsal was canceled!!!! that made me SOOOOOO happy!!! haha.

and then later mitch was being a dork and altogether entertaining.

and then i espied a ponytail holder stuck to the brick wall part of our fireplace-Sasha!! i love that cat!

and mitch is shooting his nerf darts at the ceiling and its fun to watch.

and the last thing is FACEBOOK!! theres this fan page-"60 things girls need to know about guys (written by guys). one of the rules is quite entertaining, and my brother attests to its truth:
--Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.

movies!!!

soooo....im gonna go see Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief with erin, michael and mitch today. SOOOO excited!!!! altho....Hollywood has already messed up the movie (almost majorly, in my opinion) and i havent even seen how far off from the book the movie is.

(In the book, Annabeth is blond, and Grover's a red-head, but in the movie, Annabeth's a brunette and Grover is black. *sigh*). more later!

2:53--soo...about 20 minutes until the tellups should get here :)
my brother is the BEST!!! hes very entertaining :)
also, he got the only 100% on my quiz (http://www.quizyourfriends.com/take-quiz.php?id=1002121343174355&a=1& ). some of the questions are sort of tricky...they just require out of the box thinking and a knowledge of my pasttimes...lol.

9:05--i had SOOO much funn at mime tonight!! altho, endless is gonna be interesting tomro
the movie was amazingly good. i recommend it to EVERYONE. even if you havent read the books. (and christine came, which made it THAT MUCH BETTER)
and check out my post about the facebook picture--just added more tonight!! this girl is cracking me up!! XD

more snow

is anybody else sick of this snow?

anyways, cooper and his little sister are coming over today :) we are going to make snowmen and snow forts and have an all-together good time!! i will post more later. XD

6:59--cooper and katie went home about an hour ago. we had sooooo much funn!!!!! mitch cooper katie and i all played quelf, right after katie's and my cake finished baking (devil's food with chocolate frosting in the middle and vanilla icing and sprinkles on top. yum :D )
now im hanging out on the computer until its time for bed.

percy jackson with erin michael and mitchell tomro!!!!!! sooooo excited! :DDDDDD

snow, stupid games, and more snow

SOOO...no school today. most likely no school all this week. :D and D: lol.

played rappelz again today. i died a cpl times but its no big deal. i was playing with cooper and he can ressurect ppl.

AND.....yeah. earlier we went on blizzard watch because of white-out effect. its still a WHOLE TON of snow. i heard snow drifts might get to 6 feet....lol. thats taller than me!!!!

5:14 pm--in rappelz, u click the left mouse button to move and the right one to change the camera angle. so when i went on farmville today, i kept trying to use the right mouse button to move the screen (the normal control is click and drag with left mouse button)....lol. might not amuse you, but it made me smile.

SHOPPING!!!

im going shopping with christine today!!!! yayz. it has been SO long since ive been shopping, and even longer since we've hung out.

i only have a short list of need-to-buys (a shirt and one other thing....) and an even shorter list of want-to-buy-but-dont-need-it-now (black heels to go with a cpl of my dressier outfits/prom dress, and shoes for school in the colder months)

i am SOOO excited!! ill get back on when i get home and add more later.

<3>

...later...
SOOOOO....yeah. i got my white shirt for the musical (!!) and 2 camis from aero (white and pink). im excited!! (i also got something else, but to go see that, visit for-girls-from-girls.blogspot.com GUYS ARE NOT ALLOWED!!!!

dorky brothers are the best

arent they? lol. so cooper got my brother into this online game called rappelz and we were all playin it today. it has a built-in chat so you can chat with other members of your party that are online. me mitch and cooper are all in very separate parts of the rappelz world and mitch comments that he's fighting buicks. so, of course, i crack up, b/c i immediately thought of cars. (they werent...they were these little bird-things..lol). and then he typed in something else and it ended with "IM SINGING IN THE RAIN" and i pretty much lost it. it was SOOOO random.

ALSO, we have no school tomro, and will most likely not have school at all this week (except for maybe friday. :D )

one thing...

well...2. the first one was michael. always. hes so sweet to me. these guys were being jerks to me in drama and he was being real sweet and just hugged me and let me be all mad an upset and crying like. ugh. i hate it when i cry. mr. cummins was being sweet too. :)

AND tazzie had her puppies!!!! there were....10? cant remember. check out chirstines blog http://my-optimism-initiative.blogspot.com/ YAY!!!!!!!

ms. tammy just told me (over facebook) that she called the doctors office to have michael evaluated for ADD. apparently, he had an issue driving today.....LOL

7:51--ok, my dad was watching college week on jeopardy and guess what one of the answers was????????? "Who is Charlie?" as in CHARLIE THE UNICORN!!!!!!!!! lol. i cracked up at that.

oops.

wooowww...im REALLY behind. sorry guys!! well...not THAT behind. but still! i need to post every day.

cooper came over yesterday :) we played quelf. that was sooo funn!!! lol. but actually pretty tame, compared to some pix ive seen of other games.

and today, reality dropped cooper on his foot.....dont ask. it was just REALLY funny. so was spanish. just wish some of my great friends were in class with mee... :(

*sigh*

soooooo..........yeah. again, sorry about the late post. not much has happened to make me smile. >_<

BUT this morning, ms tammy was taking me home from rehearsal (dont ask how that went) and after dropping ian off, she kinda went on autopilot. as we were turning into Bulle Rock i was like 'uh, ms tammy? i would kinda like to go home...' and everybody started cracking up.

but now the dance is cancelled (or postponed) so im kinda sad. BUT autumn is coming over (hopefully) and maybe even spending the night!!!!!!!! ^.^

yesterday and today

sorry about the late post.

so not much made me smile yesterday (it was a bad day). but alex was amazing. in chorus we started learning a new song, and apparently he liked the soprano better. so he asked tra if he could be a soprano. also, bought tickets for the dance on saturday!!!

not much happened today either. altho, beka and i came up with a new name (and move-thing) for drama therapy. DRAMA SQUAD!!! (hit charlies angels pose) LOL. had a major headache today, and then after it went away, it was a normal day.

hmmm...

...not much made me smile today.

WEELLLL........thats kind of a lie. coopers hair made me smile. his friend from new york died it red but it faded so quickly its strawberry blond now. its interesting. and everyones reaction to his hair. thas was entertaining too...lol.

also, lunch was fun. i got "high" on mountain dew. i kept cracking up, and claudia was filming sara and her friend being crazy, and then she turned her ipod to me and i started pretending to bite it. also, i had lunch with bekah today. we were INSANE!!!! ^.^

other than that, not much. i might not have much this week. tra has us after school ALL WEEK (including saturday) for musical rehearsal. *sigh* but i get to hang wit ian an cooper, so thats cool. im also in the middle of watching the count of monte cristo wit mitch and mom. thats a really good movie.

excitement, and laughing so hard til you cry :)

ok...this morning on the bus i was *probably* insufferable. i was tired, but every time i started to try and sleep, some random thought about either today or the weekend ran through my head. it was kinda wierd. lol. and totally me XD

this morning in homeroom, i tackled beka. (okay, not TACKLE tackle, but i ran up to her and grabbed her around the waist and made her shriek... >=) )she is almost as hyper as me, and we DEFINITELY feed off each others hyperness. its sooo much funn hanging out with her. THE PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY HIT PUBERTY!!!!!!! lol.

and then today after rehearsal, ms tammy dropped ian off. he and cooper BOTH got out of the car (uh oh) and ms tammy popped the trunk so ian could get his backpack (big bag+long legs+not that much space=not good). but cooper, every time the trunk popped open, would shut it before it could open all the way and ian could get his bag. ms tammy and i (still in the car) were cracking up (i was laughing so hard i had tears in my eyes), and i could SWEAR ian was about ready to come flying at cooper with a blunt object. his face was just the most entertaining to watch. (this might also be a 'you had to be there' moment. but for me and ms tammy, it was like the funniest thing in the world)

LEAVIN FOR ROCK TOMORROW!!!! sooo...i will not be posting again until sunday. but TRUST ME. i will have PLENTY to write. lol

yesterday

sorry about the late post. at least im making up for it!!!! (im gonna include yesterday AND this morning, b/c not much happened yesterday.)

well.......the one thing that DID make me smile is that mr tra didnt flip out on me for not being able to make it to a rehearsal he had planned for friday. :) instead, he switched it to today. :(

and this morning? of course, it was something on facebook. there is this fanpage that I think is one of the funniest ive seen... "'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives."
please tell me someone else finds that amusing......

ROCK TOMORROW!!!!! i am OFFICALLY excited beyond belief. i feel sorry for my school friends...they will have to put up with me and my excited hyper self... *sigh*

btw, i HAD to get mountain dew for the room...they didnt have six packs of vitamin water. grr. >_<

livi--NO DRINKING CAFFEINE UNTIL THE WHOLE ROOM IS AWAKE (or eating, either) ^.^

ROCK!!!!!!

ok, so i just got an email from a *certain someone* and i want you to guess who it is. (btw, this is only the second half of the email-the first is irrelevent)

"ARENT' YOU, LIKE, SO EXCITED FOR ROCK????????????????????????I AM!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HYPED AND SO READY TO GO SLEEP IN A HOTEL AND GET UP AT 5 IN THE MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

m&m&s

M #1--i went to the MVA to get my permit today!!! yayz. i can FINALLY drive. its wierd getting used to tho.....especially since i STILL dont know how big my moms car is around me... *sigh*

M #2--Mythology!! i got some greek mythology books from the Abingdon library. :D im looking forward to reading them... :)) altho, they didnt have the books i wanted. :( but still!! mythology is soo cool!!

S--im gonna ask my mom if we can play Spyro after dinner. i LOVE that game. it is soooo much funn!! especially when youre playing with your mom. We play games the same way (we like to explore and collect everything we can) so its much better playing with her than my bro (mr. lets-get-thru-this-as-quick-as-possible-i-wanna-beat-the-game)...oy.

sooo...yeah. also had a dentists appt and rehearsal :( rehearsal tomro, but if we have it friday im gonna be missing it b/c of ROCK!!!! YAYZ!!! sooo psyched!! lol

quelf!!

ok...guess im gonna have to go backwards to explain the title. i was at coopers today. already :) after dinner, we played this AMAZINGLY hilarious game called quelf. ever heard of it!!! its funny. i have to tie my belt around my head like a ninja. sadly, that was the funniest thing that happened. :( dinner was entertaining. michael shot a balled up napkin at mr ralphs forehead, and it hit perfectly than landed in his glass of water. LOL. (if you dont think thats funny, than you had to be there)

early, we were watching Big Time Rush on nick (i kno, stupid show, but it was better than w/e else was on)...
did you know that they now have a kids bop SEVENTEEN?!?!?!?!? thats SOOOO overkill. ugh.

two more days of "VACATION" and 3.5 until ROCK!!!!!!!! yayz.

(i put vacation in quotes b/c i still have musical rehearsal tomro and wed. D: )

facebook makes me laugh

coopers moms status. LOL

"Yesterday morning Michael Cooper pours himself a bowl of cereal and then walks into the living room. I ask him what he was doing and he said "I'm waiting for it to cool down." All of a sudden he realized that cereal doesn't need to cool down. I really do love this kid."

bible force

while i realize that i should be posting at night, i just couldn't help it!! a couple of things made me smile/laugh today

such as...
mr. larry and the bible force praise team singing mighty to save
and his pointing out olivia to all the kids.
and her hiding behind/under the computer
and her sticking her hand out to the side. lol XD
and seeing miss gretchen when im extremely tired.
(she looked kind of scared, and yet...not really at the same time
it was like she knew what was coming and knew to get away
i wonder why...lol)

so if more happens, i will post. but if not, than that is it.

Random Quotes/catch up

sooo.........since this is my first optimism initative blog, im gonna catch you up on a couple things that have made me laugh, starting last thursday.

My drama teacher. Need I say more?? His facial expressions.......sometimes, I think he could be a mime. We were performing our monologues and when certain people did their monologues, the random things he pulled out and then DEMONSTRATED were hilarious. And then AJ pulled out a stool to use for his monologue. Now, let me just say that the two stools in Mr. Cummins' room are not the stablest stools in the world. In fact, nobody will sit on one of them because its sooooo wobbly. lol. So he sat on the other one. Which was still wobbly. And me, Doni, Brianna, Megan and I think like the entire class just kept waiting for the stool to break. Definitely the hardest I've laughed this week (well except for last night).

Speaking of which, I had mime last night. Now, if you don't know what happens when I get to mime, you should be very scared. I get EXTREMELY hyper and start talking about the randomest things. Such as how my friends called me a hyper chihuahua earlier this week. And I almost fell out of my seat at lunch laughing so hard. ANNDD the pillsbury doughboy and how he hit puberty at the ravens-steelers game on Nov. 29. Good times, good times!!! ANYWAYS, i was EXTREMELY hyper last night (when am I not???) and those who were watching me got to witness the Turtle. hahahaha.

And what has made me laugh today so far??? My friend's status on Facebook is "When u r sad--I will jump on the person who made u sad like a spider monkey jacked up on Mountain Dew!!!!" Yeah, that definitely made me laugh. ESPECIALLY remembering times that those I know have been jacked up on Mountain Dew at 5:30 IN THE MORNING!!! Okay, I actually have no idea what time it was....but still! lol.

Sooo....yes, that was extremely long, but i had some catching up to do. I promise that I will not have another long one until next weekend (when I am going to be away for the weekend). But I will keep you updated!!
