[02 May 2005|07:41pm] |
i just had a sudden urge to go play the sims. i would right this second except we kept that program on our old computer because it makes everything slow... so it's downstairs. and if i start playing it i won't stop until at least 9:30. so... hmph.
i was looking through this community coupon booklet and found that there is a local business in which you can have ice delivered to your door. large amounts of ice, in fact. so if you ever, for some obscure reason, need copious amounts of packed ice, you're covered.
just thought you should know.
i got prom dress today! twas exciting. actually, it wasn't, for the first 10 minutes or so, because i realized that the company sent me a size smaller than i had ordered and the dress was a lot shorter than i thought it was going to be. no worries, though. because it actually fits better than the larger size would have and i'm beginning to like it the more i twirl around in it. i'm still calling the company and complaining about the size screw-up, though. they lucked out that it actually fit better. that's ridiculous. even the invoice has the correct size on it... i don't know what happened. losers.

| good news for people who love bad news |
[30 Apr 2005|01:00pm] |
good news:
-today i'm going to see my relatives in kansas city for my grandpa's 85th birthday! my relatives from massachusetts are in town and we're all going to celebrate. i haven't seen 2 of my cousins since i was about 12 and i haven't seen my aunt and uncle and other cousin since i was 14. so, i'm excited. it should be fantastic.
-today is tyler's birthday! happy birthday, tyler! i hope you have a super fantastic unbelieveably wonderful day.
bad news:
-last night our dog sadie died. we knew it was going to happen--she's nearly fifteen and has loads of medical problems--and last night when i got home the first thing my mom said to me was "sadie's dying." so it wasn't a huge shock. but it was still unbelieveably sad. i said goodbye to her and cried a lot, but now i'm okay. it's just that now all of our "original" pets have died. her and bea, another dog that died last year, were the first animals i knew from the beginning. i can vividly remember holding them as puppies in my hands when i was 4 or 5. sadie was the sweetest, kindest dog we've ever had, with no contest. this was really hard on my mom. we buried her this morning in our "dog graveyard" in the woods behind our house. it sounds weird, yeah. but we've got four of them back there now, and each of them has a circle of trees surrounding their graves. so it's also kind of peaceful.
-i'm sad.

[23 Apr 2005|10:15pm] |
this is interesting.
it's weird to read what people say when no one knows who they are.
reminds me that everyone has imperfections.
i like this idea.

[21 Apr 2005|12:01am] |
we have a 5-day weekend off school for spring break. HELL YES.
my family was supposed to go camping tomorrow through saturday and i have been planning on this for a week or so and i had to rearrange my schedule, take off work, etc. to accommodate this. now all of a sudden at 11 p.m. my parents say "oh, it's supposed to rain and be really cold. we're not going."
aglskhgl! i don't mind so much except that they couldn't make up their mind until the last minute. i like camping, i would have enjoyed it, and it would have been okay if it had not been such late notice.
i was kind of looking forward to getting out of the house, too. clearing my mind and all.
so now i have nothing to do this weekend.
tyler, do you want to go to KC friday or saturday? everything closes early on sundays and i don't want to go on monday because we have to go back to school on tuesday... idk, talk to me sometime tomorrow. how was your day off? oh, and apparently we're not the only ones mad at you-know-who at the moment. i shall fill you in later!

| it's been a long day |
[18 Apr 2005|07:09pm] |
i decided on iowa. yay! thanks for everyone's help. i think it was imminent that i was to choose iowa. it was... inherent. today is "i words" day. imminent. inherent. iowa. IOCASTE! (i know, it's jo-cast-ah. cool name, though).
i took my senior pictures on saturday and today the woman who took them--an amateur but FANTASTIC photographer--gave my mom a CD with a bunch of the best ones on it. a lot of them rule. it makes me happy. we tried to do some with the oskar, but the oskar was not cooperative and most of those suck. but it's okay. anyway, my senior pictures are going to pretty much be awesome.
for some reason i have this weird urge to bling-up my cell phone. with swarovski crystals. a la paris hilton. not pink though. something cooler. i don't understand this, because i am not the blingin' type. but i really, really want to unnecessarily cover my cheapo cell phone with dumb-looking crystals. i promise, i'm not usually a trendwhore!
i need to alter my diet. i eat so much crap that it's ridiculous. i'm not overweight, but i don't want to get into bad eating habits and not be able to stop later. i don't think i need to eat less, i just need to eat healthier. my problem is that i'm not the type of person who can eat three square meals a day and be fine... i have to eat constantly. i think i just need smaller, healthier portions more frequently. because what ends up happening is that i get hungry and i go get a chocolate bar or something and it isn't good for me and it doesn't fill me up... which means i have to go get more chocolate/crapfood.
i wish i could exercise more... this stupid knee thing is holding me up. i think i could go to the Y and walk on a treadmill for a while and be fine but there's no way i'll be able to do anything strenuous for a while... it sucks, because NOW that i get into a health kick, i break myself :( mom got a tai chi and yoga dvd and she said i'd be able to safely do the tai chi so maybe i'll try that.
ugh, long day. this sucks. i'm going to bed early tonight.

[10 Apr 2005|11:01am] |
so now is the point where i have to actually decide where i'm going to school next year.
right now i'm leaning toward iowa, but i don't know. i really don't. help me!
IOWA PROS
-far from home...but still close enough
-awesome honors/presidential scholars benefits
-good food (hah)
-exceptionally nice people
-seemingly small campus
| MU PROS
-i know more about the school/area
-more AP chem credit (if i do well on the test)
-$5000 less than iowa |
IOWA CONS
-horrifically cold climate
-pressure from L to join the marching band
-$5000 more than MU
| MU CONS
-i know too many people there
-too close to home
|
friday is senior skip day and tyler and i are going to kansas city for the day! it will be fun. my mom gave me some ideas of places to go--she grew up there, so she knows the town, forealz. tyler, i'm thinking we should see if addie wants to go with us--i have a feeling she's not going to be at katy's 'isolated location' (lol, did you see that letter? comedy gold!) and she shouldn't be stuck at home. but then again i don't know if she has other plans. anyway, it'd probably be better with three of us anyway, seeing as none of us will know what we're doing whatsoever. anyway... talk to me sometime today! edit: i talked to her today, she's doing something with ben in warrensburg. loser.
at 1:30 i have to go to the senior citizen prom for NHS, and i really hope it doesn't bomb. i think we only have like 20 people coming. TEH SUCK. it's three hours, aghh. this is my last NHS event, though, after this i am DONE with the ordeal. thank the lord.

[06 Apr 2005|09:58pm] |
never, ever take an AP class.
they are THE DEVIL.
i went to a study session tonight with my teacher and six of my classmates--and, ohmygod. this chemistry test is going to seriously be the most difficult thing i have EVER done. i am not looking forward to it.
however, it was an incredibly funny evening. mostly because none of us had any idea what we were doing. gordon's afraid that instead of giving him college credit, they're going to take it away from him because he's so lost. hah. i feel his pain.
absolutely the most difficult thing ever. ever ever ever.
maybe i'll at least be able to figure out a few by test day.
oh, there is one good thing out of it, though! we're probably going to get to take the test in the meeting room at the superintenent's office, and it is really nice. and apparently someone's buying us lunch afterward.
hah, this is a bleak situation if i have to be excited about air-conditioning and a free lunch.
*dies*

this day has been very "ugh."
i feel like crap, my knee hurts, i didn't get enough sleep last night.
a bunch of mean-o boys stuck in the fifth grade make fun of my leg AND my obsession with harry potter. which, the joke was sort of funny, but the more i think about it, the more i despise it. and apparently it wasn't a one-time joke, either. they talked and talked and talked about it. because it was, you know, SO hilarious.
i go to this event in town that i'm supposed to work at--volunteer stuff--and i learn that they didn't expect me to be there anyway because of my knee and didn't really have much for me to do anyway. so mum had to take me back home. i feel bad for her... going into town for us is like forty-five minutes round trip.
once i'm home i decide to make some tea. but when i'm pouring it into my cup, i forget to hold the lid down and it sort-of-halfway falls off. and, of course, it's boiling. i think i've got second degree burns/blisters on two of my fingers. it happened four hours ago and i still can't get the pain to go away.
then i sit down to watch the notebook which i knew was supposed to be really sad, but i watched it anyway. and of course it's sad. but totally awesome too, because it makes me think "WHY DOESN'T RYAN GOSLING LOVE ME LIKE THAT DAMMIT." but it's really mostly sad, because it's about dementia, which my grandmother had. and my mom will probably have. and there's a good chance that i'll get it too. therefore... ugh.
i suppose the upside is that i just remembered that tyler gave me food today. and it was REALLY GOOD. thanks, tyler!

| oww |
[28 Mar 2005|10:01pm] |
oh dear today has been ... gahlgkh.
i wasted the whole morning doing nothing and then i went to work, likewise doing NOTHING like i always do at work. i guess the upside is that it pays $6.70 an hour for me to SHUFFLE PAPERS. please... SOMEBODY FIND ME A NEW SUMMER JOB. ok. that's not the point of this post. onward...
i get home and decide that i want to take a walk/run. emily (sister) decides to join me. this is cool because i haven't really been very athletic in the last few years and although i don't want to be a SUPERSTAR, i do want to keep in shape so i'm not a VEGETABLE in college. so we go, i walk, i run, and everything is lovely. we turn around to head home. i say "oh, i'll run a bit now." 3 paces into it and CRACKPOPZING my right knee collapses!
owww. it hurrrrrts. i guess i just popped it out of place or something but ohmygod does it hurt. i couldn't put any weight on it and emily helped me start to hobble back. the problem is that we're probably about 3/4 mile from home and i am going to have to hobble all the way, plus up some hills. this sucks. never mind the fact that we live on gravel roads.
about halfway there i start feeling faint so emily runs ahead to get mom and she picks me up in her car and takes me home. and i have been lying on the sofa like a baby ever since. WAHH.
it hurts, i still can't put any weight on it and i can't really do much more than hobble. i can't straighten it, either. at least it isn't swelling, though, which is good.
i have to go back to school tomorrow and i don't know what i'm going to do about, you know, walking to class. hah.
i guess this is what i get for trying to exert myself.

today has sucked, i feel like a huge loser.
i hate that i go through these depressed phases where i feel like crap once a week or so.
i don't think it helps that i've been reading a lot of ridiculous sappy love novels/watching sappy movies lately. and books that aren't really about love but have inherent love-themes in them that make it seem like everyone can have a storybook relationship.
i mean, i feel like i need to go make out with prince william or something to make myself feel better.
aghgh!

| it's my birthday |
[22 Mar 2005|08:40pm] |
today was weird.
i was supposed to spend all day in the warm-up room helping during the band contest, but they had like 20 million annoying underclassmen that were waaay too eager to help so i really didn't do too much today. meradith and i kind of just walked around and listened to bands and ate food. we honestly only worked about 10% of the time, which really wasn't so bad.
then these weird smith-cotton people started following me around. there was a bunch of people in the gym, and there is a kitchenette attached to the gym and my stuff was in there, so i went to go get a drink and check my cell phone and these three guys from smith-cotton followed me. they just sat down and started talking to each other like it was no big deal. i didn't know if they weren't supposed to be in there or anything so i just sort of left them alone. then a load of their friends came in. and then more. and pretty soon there were like 10 people in this tiny kitchenette and they were spraying water everywhere and being obnoxious idiots. so i go find susan and ask if they're not supposed to be in there and she says they're not so i kick them out and they get mad at me.
ahahhahah funny point though: we ask them where they are from and they say "warrensburg" and meradith says "but i thought your color was red" and they said "no this is red"(it was yellow) and meradith says "oh my eyesight must be bad then" and i say "i think they're lying to us, meradith" and they all laugh. nevermind they're all wearing s-c letter jackets.
okay, another point, what is the big deal with letter jackets? it seems like boonville is the only school that doesn't really get into them. maybe because ours are extra-ugly or something. anyway.
then meradith and i go sit at a table in the gym and the three guys follow us and sit down with us! aghgh! they didn't even say anything, they just sat there. then finally they started talking to us and... it was weird. they were really, really strange.
hah, so a few hours later i catch one of them in the kitchenette again and i sort of get mad at him, but he really wasn't so bad so i talked to him for a bit and he tells me that i need to do something tonight for my birthday. because i am eighteen now.
it's a tuesday in boonville, there really isn't a whole lot to do. but... ah well.
anyway, the day was weird, especially all those sedalia people. this was really long, and that's strange because i'm not really in a talkative mood. i'm dead tired and it's only tuesday.

[19 Mar 2005|09:32pm] |
i need help.
i'm asking for one of these for my birthday but i don't know what color to get. i'm considering either carbon or ghost.
any suggestions?
they're made of silicone so either one will probably attract dust. and the ghost one glows "aqua blue" in the dark. so..
idk. opinions?

the male beauty pageant was tonight and it was amazing.
it took a really long time (from about 7:15 to 9:45) but was completely worth it. ten high school boys competing in a BEAUTY pageant. like i said... amazing is just about the only word to describe it.
finke won, and rightfully so... he was so ridiculously uninhibited, which was totally out of character for him. he's the kind of person that is normal and funny around his friends and people he knows well but he freaks out over stuff like this all the time--small stuff, even, not to mention parading himself around an auditorium completely full of people. for instance, he was nervous last year to give a speech in front of the whole student body about why he wanted to be student council treasurer. AND he was the only one running. see what i mean?
anyway, he was brilliant. they did a "personality parade" to introduce the contestants and they walked around the stage dressed in clothes that fit their personalities. kyle came out totally wrapped in this brown sleeping bag. he could barely walk. the announcer said "kyle describes himself as a cocoon, keeping his emotions inside. but we know that's not true, because he is really a social butterfly," and he flings the sleeping bag off and he's wearing a black bodysuit with these huge butterfly wings and he starts prancing and flying around the stage. it was comedy gold. then for his talent, he mimed to the song "torn" by natalie imbruglia. the one that goes "i thought i saw a man brought to life..." aghaghghghghhghaghgk funniest thing EVER. he definitely deserved to win. oh, and then, for his interview question... they asked him who he would bring as his partner on "the great american race" and he said "mr. ehlers. because he is god and he knows everything." aahhhh!! see what i mean?!
other highlights... adam, jesse and tanner yodeling... west breaking a jump rope doing a peewee herman impression... dalton changing his interview question answer THREE TIMES ("if i were a color of the rainbow i would be indigo, because i don't know what it is. or yellow because.. i don't know. or green! okay, green. because the trees are green half the time.")...oh, the whole thing was great. there was a lot more i'm sure i've forgotten, but... male beauty pageants are amazing.
