guess what guys?
it's time for..

.:~MID WEEK UPDATE~:.

fo shizzle dis be da bomb dizzle. check it.
mmmonday: *sigh* monday morning blues, as usual. didn't feel that great, but didn't feel like crap either, it was more of an.. indifferent feeling. people kept asking if i was okay, and YES i was. just feelin a little pooped out, afterall. took a math quiz that i didn't have a good feeling about. oh. i also overslept in the morning and ended up running out of the house in disarray. yay.
tuuuuesday: eh just another day, i don't think anything in particular stood out really.
weednessddaaay: today was alright, i guess nothing too thrilling going on. lex had detention after school so ash and i just waited for her, cuz she drove. hehe ash helped me out with some physics homework and i'm grateful, i SO don't understand anything in that class. also had to complete my part of the physics lab we did the other day.. ahh more homework. when i got home, i had to take dad to the dodge dealership (AGAIN!!!!!!!).. he finally dropped his car off for an oil change, and i had to take him there to get his car. well, while at the dealership, we had the dudes check my car out, at the damage from the hit and run, ya know. well they said i could drop my car off like, next next monday and they'll get it fixed and smoothed out.. it'll take three days and it will cost. $400+ *jaw drops* damn. DAMN. DAMN THAT PERSON WHO DID IT TO HELL! that's an extraneous cost to my parents that we really don't need. gah. fuck. granted, it could have cost alot more elsewhere, and the guy who'll fix my car knows my dad, so that's a plus, but still, the thought just IRKS me. *sigh* whatev.
i finally caught a full episode of THE O.C.!!!!!!!! holy shit that's a good show. i love it! it's like a modern day teen soap opera that isn't trashy! good stuff, and adam brody is adorable. :) aww. okay fine, he's really hot. haha okay there i said it. anyway, i also watched part of a "hard rock cafe live" thing on the rejects (the all american rejects, for those who aren't knowledgable. haa) which was nice. made me think back when i went to the concert. heh good times, good times.
damn i've been getting a plethora of magazines at my house. it's like a steady stream of mags making their way onto my bed. hahaha! i used to just be subscribed to YM and seventeen (both by far are still my favorites), and i think my mom just subscribed to allure and teen people for me too! i need to ask her if she got me cosmogirl too. hehe it's nice to have new mags to read 24/7 but lol it's distracting me from my work!
hmm mom will be home all week next week!! yay! well it's because my dad, brother and one of the travis's will be headed to VEGAS to attend the annunal SEMA car exhibition/show. dammn second year in a row my brother's getting to go. well since he's starting his company, it's essential that he goes, but still i'm jealous. he came back with so many stories last year, most of which i don't get to hear, because he's a naughty boy and "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas." haha sure, brotha, sure. doesn't change the fact that i'd like to go. haha one day..maybe next year.
this ebay thing is really.. emptying out my pocket. i just won more auctions, and i'm spending more money, and i have a bunch of makeup on its way to me. i'm a bad girl. i need to stop spending!!! and i need a job! but i don't think i could handle a job and school, i just don't have the skillz and i'm not capable. i really really respect the people who can time manage like that, props to them.
alright before i continue rambling on and on, i shall stop here and go try and study for this english poetry test i've got tomorrow, and i haven't read a single poem that we're going to be tested on. whoopee.

WORD

audio:: Bow Wow- "Let's get down"

hmm.
so thursday was just another day full of me not doing my homework and just not being motivated to do anything. senioritis? does it really exist? do seniors in highschool just suddenly lose all drive and motivation to succeed in school and do homework, and overall, just fuck it all?? it's a phenomenon. i don't know if i spelt that right. but it sure is one. because i no longer do my homework, and the only class i really care about is psychology. so i guess i'll do the work for that class and screw the rest. honestly. it's so hopeless i barely do anything other than eat, watch tv, use the computer and stare at my backpack... hoping that i wont get into too much trouble for not doing the homework.
anyway at school, during lunch, katie mellody and i threw a little lunch party for the girls who were in the homecoming announcement skit committee and we called in for pizza and showed the video of the skit itself. that was pretty cool, except for the fact that i hate watching myself on film. k.
WELL. ISN'T ALL THAT A BUMMER.
*sigh*
haa well friday was a late start, which was awesome, i got an extra hour of sleep and that made me reeeeeally happy. and i didn't end up going to the yellowcard concert because my brother had to go to travis's birthday dinner. i ended up going to bucca di beppo, a very nice italian restaurant for lunch, it was a surprise birthday party for brittany, the executve board student council president. that was really nice!! ash and i had to go to the mall first though and pick up some cards and small bitty bday gifts. yup. then ash and i ran some errands, to the bank, get gas in the car and she wanted to get a new belly ring, so we went to the other mall... haha and she ended up getting two, a pink regular one and then a pretty blue dangly one. good sale! haha makes me wish i had my navel done, i will though, prolly sometime next year. anyway at that that store, i saw all these bling blingin necklaces and ice and EVERYTHING and i was kicking myself in the ass for not knowing that in time for homecoming.. *sigh* nevermind. yeah later we picked lexi up (she had been volunteering at the hospital) and headed over the for football game vs. desert mountain HS. well. haaa it was THEIR homecoming game, and we kicked their asses 43-7.. BOOYAH. later we went to in and out and hung out with shannon and leia and their group, which was pretty fun, i guess.
saturday i stayed home and farted around on the internet and ended up buying more makeup from MAC off ebay. argh. online spending is bad for my pocket. anyway i've got some pigment samples on their way to me now . hehe yay. let's see. oh yeah i was supposed to go to this girl nneka's party and i called up my friend breena to get directions because the way i was going to go by (the highway..) was closed so i wasnt too sure how to get there. and ash had been working so she was tired and didnt wanna go and lex was suffering through the symphony for her cotillion thingy. SO. breena never called me back (i'll say why later) and so lexi richter ended coming over all the way from goodyear to hang out with me and she stayed the night and we ended up just cruising around, and walking around and checking stuff out at the walgreens. HAAA omg we're such losers. anyway. breena called and told me why she never called back, and it was because she was at work (she works at abercrombie/hollister.. both stores really) and she caught some girls shoplifting and so she was talking to the cops and everything all night and didnt end up going to nneka's party.
whoa
so anyway, i ended up watching bulletproof monk and charlies angels 2: full throttle on DVD at home with lexi and yeah it was quite fun, we had a feast of candy and nachos and cheez-its. yay! oh we finally got ourselves a DVD player and we don't have to use the PS2 to play DVDs anymore so it won't screw up the system. yay! haha..
and now i'm trying to do my psychology homework.. researching an article and writing a paper on .. the symptoms of panic disorder with agoraphobia. WOOHOO. the excitement.
well i keep getting distracted by my bids on ebay, there's more stuff i want so i keep checking... oh and i'm having the most awesome time surfing the net, using this internet browser : Mozilla Firebird... HOLY SHIT. it's so much better than internet explorer. OH MY WORD.. it's so awesome and so customizable, and you can surf in tabs so you don't have to have multiple windows open AND ...... the best part... NO POP UPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo! haha thanks sammie for getting me onto the MO bandwagon as well as the step by step help when i fail miserably at being a computer whiz. psh.. :) anyway mozilla firebird is awesome and you should get it.
yep that's all.

audio:: liz phair- "why can't i?"

hmm. so.. updates for today?
april dyed her hair!! she's gone dark! haha my apey is a beautiful brunette now and i think it looks friggin awesome!
katie finally got her license, so now in our "group", we're all licensed drivers dammit. it's about damn time! haha!
um. yes. so instead of .. long paragraphs of incoherent rambling, i shall post some pictures from homecoming. only four though, and don't mind the bad quality jpgs k. :)
here we go!!

this is (left to right: ashley, karly, me and sheika) some of our rapper group posing for a picture. hehe if you look closely you can see my shiny jeans!! edited to say: yeah um, there IS a blob of light near my head, haha reflection of the flash in the window!!



hmm. a weird picture of me that lexi took while i was looking up. um yeah, it's the only picture i have of myself with the tiara and everything, lol i was taking pictures of other people all night, and this is the only one of me!



this is ashley and lexi dancing at the dance itself, um the reason why they're dancing like that is because our school has the no "dirty dancing"/"grinding"/"freaking" rule, haha so the both of them were pretending to ballroom dance around the gym.



katie mellody and me!! the homecoming skit committee co-chairs. hahaha yeah it was us who singlehandedly put together the most kick ass video and skit the school has ever seen. okay well i don't know about it being the best ever, but to us, it was. :) yep.

halla back youngin!!!!
my cd's are home! yep, dodge sure took longer than a week to send me my cd's but they're finally home sweet home! yay! this calls for a celebration.. of.. NOT DOING MY HOMEWORK DAMMIT!
if i have to call dodge again so they can fix my car, because as y'all know, HIT AND RUN THIS WEEKEND, i think they're going to hate me for the rest of my life.
i don't mean to! things just keep happening to my car!!!
HOT DAMN. i'm going to find that bastard/bitch who hit my car. I WILL!
HOLY SHIT!!! yellowcard is playing on friday in tucson! hehe i have yet to convince my brother to take a road trip down. i wanna go to that show really really badly! aah yellowcard!
so yeah, some guy from the guys school, brophy, just called me to ask me a few questions on being homecoming queen. holy shit i must have sounded like a complete idiot being put on the spot. hahahaha i have no idea what to say to questions like: if there was one thing you could change about your school, what would it be? .....UM WORLD PEACE. damn, it's almost as if it was like a frickin beauty paegant or something. pleeasee. well i'll give credit to the guy who called, although i can't remember his name, and he told me too, and i forgot it ALREADY! geez. i'm a horrible person. but still. if you ever read that interview in the school newspaper thing, um. disregard what i said, i'm not the poised elegant typa queen people are expecting.
i'm just a spaz. fo shizzle ma nizzle.
YUP.

audio:: the starting line- "up and go"

alright. this has got to be the randomest entry from me in a while. but i feel so compelled to quote this.

Steve Stifler: Hey, Finch, what's the capital of Thailand?
[Hits Finch in the groin]
Steve Stifler: Bang-cock!

yes i love american pie.

:(
pitas has been down lately, so i'm only finally able to update now.
lotsa things going on, so this entry is going to be LONG as all hell. lol sorry guys. (lol sheryl!)
i'll do this day by day, as usual k. here goes!
monday: monday blues as usual i guess, it was the start of another crappy week at school with only the coming four day weekend to look forward to. i turned in my senior quote to the yearbook. "with fronds like these, who needs anemones?"- from finding nemo (marlin tells this joke at the end, if you can remember). hehe. oh yes, the previous week i wanted to get this leadership scholarship to ASU so i had to turn in a copy of my resume to see if i qualified. i was told like. 5-6 girls turned their stuff in too. and so i got a note in homeroom informing me that my school selected me to be the one nominated candidate from my highschool. friggin awesome!!!!!!!!! one candidate per highschool and then ASU picks 21 students to receive a full ride scholarship and a $1500 cash award per year (for four years). NOW. that was definitely good news :) i really really want that scholarship and what would be better than that?! haha
tuesday: suffered through a psychology test first thing in the morning and hit up the school choir "broadway cabaret" concert later that evening (hey extra credit in english class for going, plus lots of my friends are in honor choir). yep that was pretty good.
wednesday, i did an announcement with breena on the PA tv system since moe was absent, so that was fun! haha anyway i found out that they had voted for homecoming queen (out of the five nominees) that morning in homeroom and i missed it since i was on the announcements. figures, right? lol damn. anyway i was approached by the moderator for the school newspaper, and she wants me to do this independent project for her. she wants a some drawings or paintings of "fleur de lis", french flower emblem thingys. haha sorry i'm not very coherent. but yeah. throw that on top of all the other junk i have to do. man. i'm like a walking sideshow of independent art projects! and i thought i quit art class this year!
thursday: oh i forgot to mention that this week was homecoming spirit week, heeh so there were a bunch of things goin on, like trivia, that's why i was on the announcements with breena, heh. oops, bad memory. haha anyway. THURSDAY: CLASS COLOR DAY. i was decked out in red, i had a red teeshirt, jacket around my waist, socks, earrings, a bracelet and necklace!!! all red! haha yes, seniors have RED as their class color. it was so awesome, except when my stupid math teacher said that i couldn't wear my socks because it was class "shirt" day. which wasn't true because i talked to the mrs. moore, the homecoming moderator, and she said that it was fine. so i got detention from my math teacher for that, and mrs moore said she would clear it for me :) yay. but STUPID STUPID power hungry math teacher. ANYWAY. i also got back my psychology test, WHICH i kicked MAJOR disorder ass on, hehe (the chapter was on pyschological disorders), i tied for highest grade in class with another girl, we got 97% on it, and i was ECSTATIC!!!!! haha that was the best academic news for me, since i've been getting shitty grades in my other classes anyway. heheh YAY!
alrighty, at lunch there was the PARADE!!!!!!!! holy shit that was fun as hell. okay so each class and all the clubs have their billboards okay, and theyve been decorated and painted and all that, so there were friggin awesome works of art being paraded all over the place, and on top of that, the 5 king and queen lead the parade while driving GOLF CARTS!!!!!!!!! hahaha! and well the guys were supposed to come over and drive them over to the guys school (parade goes from girls school over the guys school, yes it's like a science.. lol), but the boys never showed up! so then the teachers were like okay GIRLS! you get to drive! so all of us were like "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" so we hopped in the golf carts and went cruising towards the guys school! omg that was THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER. haha i would do it again in a second. except for when i couldnt brake properly, while trying to drive and take a picture, so i hit ashley's golf cart by accident, but that was okay, it was just a tap, except with the assistant dean just watching nearby. lol. eek. boo boo on my part. haha. oh well anyway that was fun as hell once again, and yeah the parade kicked ass!
after school we drove like maniacs to brophy again, to see scott, and then to brian's house, and later i had to visit jon........ why? because we had to borrow some of their pants, because we had to wear MAN PANTS to homecoming! haha we were gonna be rappers, remember? (did i even mention that before?!?!!)
um let's see. FRIDAY! HOMECOMING DAY! the whole day was like just one big mass of excitement, haha! well on alot of our parts i guess, the seniors were most definitely pumped! haha well classes itself was a drag, but we made it through, after school, we picked up the shirts we got made for the the dance, and then headed home.
so i basically spent like 3 and a half hours getting ready, after i got home. shitttt. lol. it took so long because i had to shower, dry my hair (which is a task in itself, lol), and 3 barrel wave ALL OF IT. damn, to wave all my hair, it definitely took a lot of motivation and arm cramps. lol. anyway i put on my boxers, man pants (which were shiny jeans.. definitely thugged out FO SHIZZLE) and my shirt (the ones we got made.. the front says "rappers delight" and the back it says our special rapper names .. mine is Lil' Lim, haha Lil Kim, get it get it? and '04), and then put on all my ice.. and man all the bling bling was blinding. HAHA k well not really, but i definitely felt like a thug. haha um what else? oh yeah, i had fake eyelashes too, man i love those things! hahaa! well after we got all decked out we headed over to our friend sabrina's house, to meet up with the rest of the rapper group, and there i ended up 3barrel waving half a girls head, and another whole head of hair. lol damn my hands were about to burn off and crumble into ashes. lol. anyway we took a bunch of pictures and then headed off to the game. oh man it was so awesome walking into the parking lot and the stadium in our outfits, so many people were staring at us, because we had our "thug walks" going down and everything, ash and i had a special crotch dance that we taught everyone, haha!
well the game was awesome, i wasn't watching most of the time, because i busy looking at what everyone else was wearing and getting into the whole homcoming excitement thing. anyway at half time, the nominees had to be called down to the field and they were going to crown the king and queen. so we walked onto the field and i definitely felt quite nervous at this point. and well. they announced queen first and guess what? I'M HOMECOMING QUEEN! hahaha! HOLY SHIT MOLEY. haha i was incredulous because i thought the other girl chelsea was going to get it, and i was like turning back to say to ashley "holy shit i don't know what to do" and they were putting a tiara on my head (and my hair getting in the way) and handing me a bouquet of roses and my face freezing into a plastic smile while they kept taking pictures. lol. it was CRAZY NUTS! they crowned the king, jim, who i felt they voted as a joke, but it's okay, he looked like he was having fun anyway. so we ended up leading the parade around the track and the whole time, i'm like in a daze, it felt like a dream, ya know?
anyway, i had people PILING on top of me screaming and hugging and kissing my cheeks and "OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" etc etc etc. and the whole time i'm like. WHOA. whoa whoa whoa. that's all i had to say.
haha wow. i thank god, and my lucky stars, i most definitely didn't deserve that so i was just amazed.
okay enough sappiness, we won the football game and then headed over to the dance. the dance kicked major ass, as the seniors took over the dance floor, OH YEAH. and that was great. the music choice wasn't the best, but not bad i guess. hehe ash, lex and i wear tearing up the dance floor with our crotch dance, WORD! hahahahaha! hmm it was overall a really good dance, and good night!.......
until...... the dance was over and we headed outside to leave.. and i saw these black marks on my car, and i was like oh, dirt! and rubbed some of it off, and then continued towards the drivers side. well turns out it wasn't just dirt when lexi called me back to look at the car. and well. near the headlight, there is a dent, and some scratches and some paint is missing from my car.
YEAH
FUCKING HIT AND RUN. on MY car. in the SCHOOL parking lot. could you imagine?!?!?!? geez i was freaking out and i had no idea what do to! it pissed me off that someone could actually hit my car in a school parking lot, and TAKE OFF. well whatever, i vow to find the person who hit my car. i had to call the cops, but they didnt take a report, but gave me an incident number etc etc. well my parents were out of town too, if that counts for anything, but i called them, and they weren't as pissed at me as i thought they would be. i guess you can't do much when you've been hit and run.
sucks doesn't it? my night has most definitely been tainted, it was so awesome, but yet how.. NOT so. i guess i can't have my cake and eat it too, huh? anything to bring me back down to earth.
well ANYWAY. after that traumatic event. saturday night, ashley and i went to ASU and went to a couple parties over there, college parties, yep. that was .. fun. it's all just an experience, all an experience, that's what i keep reminding myself. here's a reminder for the wise: never drink on an empty stomach, it only knocks you out faster. well i can cross out some of the things on my "Things to do before I Die" list. not bad.
SUNDAY. i didn't do much except wander around ashley's sister's apartment complex in the morning. haha walk of shame man, walk of shame. we finally got our stuff and managed to go back to ashley's place, get some food, recooperate and then i went home.
some funny quotes: "i don't know his name! i don't even remember his name!!!!" - me. "take care of meeeee" me to ash, and ash to me.

not like you understood those, but their purpose is to remind ME of certain things. hehe. anyway. i wish lexi could have been with us, but she had been babysitting, and argh, oh well, ya know? next time lex, we already decided, next time is you and me, then all three of us!!!
sunday NIGHT, the three of us went to catch a movie (last movie i saw was in august, american wedding. lol long time ago) and we saw "SCHOOL OF ROCK" hehehe. that was such an awesome movie, jack black is hilarious, and the little kid playing the drums is going to be really hot when he grows up. haha "when i'm 28 and he's 22, it's NOT GOING TO MATTER!!!" -lex
hehehe. anyway. today, monday. i slept in, watched "the italian job" ( my brother rented it on like, sunday), which is a kickass movie, i want to own a mini cooper just to do stunt drives like them!!!! hahaa and tonight i think i'm goin to hang out with TG and some of his guy friends, if i can get my ass out of my house, that is.

that's it, folks, one long update for more than a week's worth of time.
this homecoming queen is OUT.
*wink*

audio:: michelle branch- "breathe" (well right now, that's playing, but a BUNCH played while i was typing this.)

so i dragged my lazy ass out of bed this morning to take my car in to get the cd player fixed.
holly was awake at 8am on a saturday?
you had best believe it, it was tough. lol anyway took the car in, came home, went back at like 10am to get it, and viola, my cd player is in tip top shape once again! omg i was so stoked that it's working again, i think i've been without my functioning cd player for like. 3-4 weeks.
TORTURE, i tell you, TORTURE!!!
great and dandy news, eh?
not so.
:( they said they needed some "special tools" to pry apart the old cd player, and then they will mail my 6 cds that were in it back to me in a week. um. call me a skeptic, but i doubt they'll get it back to me in a week, if they even come back! what the flippin heck. i want those cds. NOW. MY PRECIOUS!!!!!!! (i sound like gollum/smeagol from LOTR)
i have also given into the temptation which is friendster.
yep. i'm not really understanding the whole concept, it seems rather blank i guess, but why the hell not, eh? maybe i'll run into some long lost friends from singapore. we'll see. add me! dangel86@hotmail.com (that is not an invitation to spam email *grr*)
adios amigos! te amo!

audio:: lucky boys confusion- "arizona stand"

HOLY SHIT
this week has been absolutely CRAZY. good and bad, miserable and fantastic. lol.
it started out horrible, due to lack of sleep and lack of food and not doing my homework. plus, sunday night, i was asleep and katie mellody calls me up at like 1am, to tell me she's back from new mexico and she wanted updates on the homecoming skit and everything, and she was going to leave me a message on my cellphone, but it was on my bedside table and on the loudest ring, and so it woke me up. and i mean it was great talking to her of course, we had alot to do for the skit, but like. omg at 1 in the morning. for those of you who don't know, i don't usually sleep till 2ish, so the one night i'm in bed early, i get woken up. can you believe it?! lol.
well monday, tuesday and wednesday was just crazy nuts! with skit rehearsals in the mornings, lunch and after school, lol katie and i were running on very little sleep and nutrition. we had so much to do, and to think a little 15 minute skit would take so long to plan?!?! geez. lol scripts, music, costumes, approval of everything, and worst of all, getting a group of like 30 girls to listen to you.. *sigh*. we also had to go to the photo shoot to do the pictures for homecoming.. to show the background to the whole school? like trial pics.
so you could expect me to be in the shittiest mood possible, and all i could think of would be like: omg i can't wait for this skit to be OVER. ugh. lol. well anyway wednesday we got the skit approved and everything and so it was a go, since we were performing on thursday. that night i was practicing like MAD in the kitchen, because it's got tiled flooring, and i can dance better there. i was choreographing for like 2 hours straight and it was so exhausting! anyway, i got to bed by midnight that night, thank god, and there was practice, early thursday morning, and by that time i was worrying really badly, because i felt the skit wasn't ready.
well we got out of class earlier, and ran through one last time and i was so frickin nervous it was untrue. now. since the skit is over, i can actually TELL you guys what it was about, instead of "why the hell is holly so busy with this damn skit?" anyway. here goes. for homecoming, my school has this tradition, to have a skit that will announce the five homecoming queen nominees (like prom queen) and it has to performed in like a quirky new way and all that. SO katie mellody and i planned it out like this: the 2003 homecoming music awards (HMA's.. heh like the VMA's) and there are the two hosts (katie and i were elvis presley and michael jackson respectively) and then presenters and performance acts from each era (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and today's music) that announced the queen nominees. so that was the plan, we had girls acting as diana ross, the beatles, the village people, beegees, bon jovi, aerosmith, run dmc, madonna, mc hammer, avril lavigne, britney spears, christina aguilera, and nsync. whoa. and so elvis: king of rock and roll and MJ: king of pop were the hosts. and hence katie and i were so stressed out planning for this damn skit and preparing ourselves to be the hosts. whoa. crazy stuff eh? well we finally did the skit in front of the whole school without too many mishaps. hey let me tell you, i'd been practicing all my michael jackson moves, watching all his old school videos, and i can even pull off the moonwalk. lol.
here's the funny part, every time the nominee's name is announced, i run out with a flower for the girl, congratulate her and carry on with the skit. well so 4 girls have been called out (ashley got nominated! i like jumped on her when i gave her the flower! yay!) and i'm waiting for the last name to be called out, and i'm like standing there holding the flower. and then they call out my name.
HOLEY MOLEY!. my jaw like drops and then i realize that i'm holding my own damn flower and i'm like what in the WORLD?!! all i remember is lexi jumping on me to give me a hug, and then katie runs up, snatches the flower from me then gives it back to me, and i had the composure of mind to act like a silly award winner and did the fakeo OMG OMG OMG IT'S ME! thing and i remember they like picked me up and spun me around or SOMETHING. and then i go up to the mic and carry on with the finale of the show. HOLY SHIT! lol i was so frickin shocked because i had no idea who the nominees were and i was ready to go hand out the flower to the girl and, it turned out to be me?! WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!?!?!
lol wow. it was so shocking and didn't even sink in for the longest time. later the seniors went over to the field and had lunch with the senior boys over from brophy and then they announced the girl and boy nominees and so we all got to stand there looking like freaks, and i looked HORRIBLE because i had just finished the skit and i was sweating from all the hardcore dancing as michael jackson and mc hammer and ugh i'm presented to all the seniors as a queen nominee? lol. shiiiiit. once again, what are the odds? LOLOL. crazy shit, i felt like a mini celebrity after the skit performance and on top of that, the nomination. WOW WOW WOW i feel like i'm dreaming.
ANYWAY we got great feedback on the skit, everyone loved it and how it was different from all the other years and that just made katie and i feel SOOOOO good. hehe we pulled off a kickass video, AND a kickass skit. our jobs as the homecoming skit co-chairs most definitely are complete. well, moving on from that, i went to the play last night.. A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM.
oh my god. it is SO FRICKIN AWESOME. i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, it was THAT good. they really put together a fantastic show in less than 5 weeks and it was beautiful! the set was gorgeous, and the costumes were stunning and i'm running out of words to describe the play. APRIL! she played puck AND OMG SHE IS THE SHIT, she was so GREAT as puck and everyone i talked to during and after the show were so AMAZED at her perfomance, and i mean, her costume and makeup and acting was phenomenal. YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME APEY! ;) she was raised up and down on the hydrolic lift thing on the stage and that was like WHOA. and it was magical and glittery and the four lovers... holy shit talk about intense, kelly was SOO dramatic and pulled it off so well, i was so impressed and then heidi too! and then the rude mechanicals put together the most hilarious play within a play of pyramus and thisbe and cracked the audience up the whole TIME. there was kevin who played bottom and then alex the guy who dresses up as thisbe (the girl) omg. HILARIOUS. then props to tommy for being the filthy wall. and everything. WOW. great show great show, it made me just feel so uninvolved with a show this semester. i vow to try out for the musical next semester, no matter what. i need to be part of the drama people again, i miss it so much. i gave everyone i knew pretty well roses and like mauled april over when she came out. heh. afterwards i joined the cast over at 5andDiner and hung out with them for a while.
you need to go see this show if you havent. xcp today and tomorrow 7pm $7. lol.
sometimes, going to my school does pay off. it's got some good redeeming points, like the homecoming skit and the play. other than that, i can't say i love the school, but i love the people. i'll be in a show next semester, you just watch.

well. today there's no school. yeah. THANK GOD. this day off was very much needed. my intent was to sleep in, and i was almost successful except that i got woken up by phonecalls all morning. first was the dodge dealership! THEY FINALLY GOT MY CD PLAYER PART IN!!!!!!!!!! *everyone breathe a sigh of relief*!!! i've been calling them every day, i couldn't through to the stupid guy except for once, and he said he would call me back, and he never did. and i'm like what the hell, i want my cd player fixed!
lol well the dude finally called, maybe he felt guilty because i kept calling (damn i'm a persistant customer) and well he tells me the part is in, and i'm like GOOD. although it was supposed to be in last week. lol. oh well. i'm taking my car in tomorrow and YAY CD PLAYER! i just hope that my 6 cds currently stuck in the disfunctioning one can come out safe and sound.
also, i had jenna call she wanted to hang out because she had two hours to wast, but i was sleeping. lol and then kathleen called bc she heard i was a homecoming nominee and wanted to congratulate me, and shes in college all the way in tucson! aww man i miss her so much, she wants me to go visit her and i sure as hell want to. um yes so that was like a half hour conversation, and then my brother comes in and wakes me up "mei, wake uppp!!!!!! wakey wakeeeey!!! i'm going to tickle you until you wake up!!!"

audio:: ludacris- "stand up"

this song just defines how i feel.

Less than Jake
"The Science of Selling Yourself Short"

I've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,

[Chorus:]
I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy

I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I'm so over-dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy.

[Chorus]

Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day,
Self deprication seems okay,
I never thought I'd make it anyway

[Chorus]

I'm my own worst enemy [x5]

so nothing that thrilling happened from monday till yesterday. well except that i gave one of my teachers my college essay, self assessment and activities resume so she could write me a recommendation. exciting stuff, eh?
hah. well like i said. till yesterday.
friday morning, we hauled our asses out of bed and headed over to school, because our brother school was holding an early morning rally because the big brophy vs. st. mary's football game was that night. the rally wasn't that fantastic, it was better last year. but yeah there was a few things going on, like the usual cheap ass car they buy, paint green and beat the living shit out of... symbolism.. beat the opposing team to a pulp, get it? there was also this bouncy slide, as well as a mechanical bull. yeah it wasn't that great, and there weren't alot of people.. well there were alot, but not as much as last year. anyway i took a bunch of pictures and videos, good stuff.
the school day was a drag, i was falling asleep in most of my classes because i didn't get enough sleep the whole damn week. after school, lex, ash and i went shopping at walmart and michael's and picked up some teeshirts and paint and stuff.. and we came back to my house and we made our shirts. they're so friggin cute. haha. we like slashed the sleeves into flutter things, and then cut up the seams and laced them back up with ribbon and yeah. it took longer than we expected but we made it to the game to catch all the tailgate parties. where we witnessed this guy driving a pimped out suv, but he hit another car as he was trying to park. MAN i would have been so pissed. the poor guy.
as i was saying, we looked really cute.. heh i had like my red decontructed shirt, and black skirt, and lex and ash had red bottoms and black shirts. way to match, hehee.
SO anyway, the stands were packed to its limit, there were SO many people there, we didn't even have much space to stand! lol, everyone was decked out in their red, and then the kilt boys were there, covered in body paint and all. it was awesome! i really got into the game as well, it's taken me this long to somewhat understand it, (lol.. loser) and yeah we kicked their asses to the ground!!!!!!! haha we won 38 to 17 i think. most of the time i was yelling "FUCK EM UP!!!" haha and we did.. i was so proud. some tv channel came to film the game and interviewed the kilt boys, and one of the radion stations came down too, i think i saw their tent. a fight broke out where we were standing though, the underclassmen (might have been sophomores) and seniors were hurling insults (as well as other things) at each other and then it just started getting crazy and i think there were a few punches thrown even! it was nuts! but freakin awesome at the same time. haha we were actually standing in between both parties and got like mashed together when people started pushing each other. haha whoa! later we rushed the field and whooped it up cuz we wont the game. it's all an experience man, all an experience.
later we met up with ash's bf, jake (who goes to st. mary's lol) and he said he knew of some parties going on, so ash jumped into his truck, and we followed him.. but first they had to stop off at the nearby circle k (convenience store) and thats where we realized lexi lost her cellphone. so they drove off, and lexi and i went back to look for her phone, and freakin a! haha she was the luckiest person alive, she dropped her phone when she got out of my car to yell at brian for throwing a bottle of water at my car.. yeah i yelled at him too, more of a "don't ever do that again!!" heh. i'm a little protective of my car. but lex was just yelling at him like. "hey you wanna go, let's take this OUTSIDE!!" kinda jokey thing. haha. anyway a car was like a foot away from running over her phone, but she managed to stop them and rescue it from harm's way. intense stuff man. lol.
we finally caught up with the other two and got to the party, which was kinda weird, bc the girl's parents were home and it was more of a kickback. as well as we felt really out of place because we were wearing alot of red, and it was one of the rival school's (that we beat) parties? we didn't stay long anyway.
we left there and headed over to this other party, and we got directions from brian this time, and we got there before ashley and jake, who took a different [longer] way. well that party was just a little more hostile in a way, because of the whole game thing, and they kept saying we could make it better if we "took off our shirts" because they were emblazoned with 'brophy' and red stuff. lol. horny boys. but yeah that was just all the more weird, and by that time i had gotten the worst friggin migraine my head could conjure up and i was just about dying. i was standing the corner and i could barely keep my focus. urgh. i hate headaches. anyway brian helped me look for some aspirin and i found some orange juice to take it with. anyway i didn't feel like being there anyway partly because jake and ashley kept disappearing on their own and partly because that fucker lucas was there and he didn't acknowledge my presence although he knew i was there. ASSHOLE. whatever, his loss. and he looked terrible too, he dyed his hair blackish and it looked like he fell into a tub of black sharpie marker. haa. anyway our friend aly was in hysterics because her bf and her broke up, so we were outside consoling her half the time.
i basically feel like i wasted my time at those parties, and i would have rather gone to a party from my school or something. definitely wasn't fun. the part that pissed me off most was that i thought i would be taking ashley back to my house, so she could drive home, cuz her car was parked at my house. that was was redundant because her bf drove her back to my house instead. so i didn't need to stay at that damn party as long as i did, and i could have left to go home and pop more aspirin for my headache and go to bed, since she had her own ride. urgh and y'all all know by now that i hate wasting my time. i wish she could have told me about an hour earlier or something.
i talked to my brother about it, and he said i was incredibly stupid and i just should have left. he says my friends walk all over me because i'm too nice. i guess i treat them the way i expect to be treated back. tough luck eh?
anyway i was pissed by the time i got home, because i dropped lexi off, and then when i got back to my house, jake's truck was parked there already (what the?!). i got into my house, gathered all of ashley's stuff, took it out to her, got lexi's stuff out of ashley's car and went back inside to clean up the mess we made while making our shirts.
shitty ending to a good night. it just felt like such an obligation to have been at the second party.
anyway i went to bed, and then didn't end up going to the Dyno Day car thing, for two reasons. i didn't want to go by myself, and lexi couldn't go, and the other reason was that it was pretty far away. oh well. i'll apologize to TG the next time i see him.
i conclude by saying that guys come in two categories. the good guys that really geniunely nice and then the jerks who don't give a shit about anyone except themselves. i know guys from both categories, and it's sad, but the guys i tend to like fall into the second one.
i also felt so lost the whole night because i ended up leaving my cellphone at home because we were rushing to the game and i forgot to grab it from the dining room (which was where we were making our shirts). i had so many missed calls when i got home. argh.

life's a bitch though, i'll get over it.
