Ich liebe dich.

That's My Dad Outside The Car!!

So I've been listening to Nickleback's C.D. All the Right Reasons for about 4 hours or so, obsessed, not quite. It's just good music and the songs are varied in emotions. I would suggest listening to it. Life has been mellowing out lately. I drove around today for a few hours in the nice weather listening to Lazer and I wasn't really singing, I wasn't really thinking. I was just chillin and enjoying the moment. Yea cheesy, but it's not your boat now is it? But I dunno, you might not believe me when I say I wasn't thinking about anything. But I wasn't. Not about family, friends, school, or what I had to eat for breakfast. I was just existing and watching everything go by. It was like I was staring into space while driving at the same time. But today was a good day, so that's all that matters right?

Bump Up In Status

Yes after the Sweatheart show last nite, I learned that I have been moved from Sound Director to Ass. Man. It's freakin amazing!!! I will still be doing sound for the spring show, but I am training my new apprentice Emily Adams. She'll be a good one, so don't worry. But sadly it will break the tradition that the Sound people have been next to deaf. Wait what did you say? Anyways, the show was a bitch. I can't stand the Show Choir people. Their behavior and performance on Tuesday was unnaceptable and so I had a little "chat" with them after their rehersal last nite before the show. Yea, that didn't go over to well with the BIG egos in s.c. So if you want to call me a bitch, tell it to my face, not my back.

Sweetheart Show!

Ugh that damn thing is driving me crazy! V doesn't know wtf she's talking about and the whiny little Jazz kids and bitching us out left and right. And the show choir...good lord, they just don't listen. It doesn't help that Liz put me as Stage Manager. Ugh Ugh Ugh. I want to kill every choir kid at Valley!! Oh and then you have the fucking soloists who think that they're just too good and can do whatever the hell they want. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING: YOU PISS OF THE TECHIES AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE A SHOW!! YES WE MAY BE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SOCIAL STATUS LADDER, BUT WITH OUT US YOU WILL NOT I REPEAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE A SHOW! TREAT US WITH SOME RESPECT AND WE'LL TRY TO DO THE SAME!!

Valentines Dance!!! Woo Hoo!

Probably two of the hottest people I've ever seen in my whole life! Yea so the dance was last nite, obviously. I went with Elena and Alex. Yea had a pretty rockin time. Actually found a date at the dance so it made it even better. For those of you who didn't go, it was 100 times better than Homecoming. It didn't feel like a gym in pretty clothes. You could actually enjoy yourself and have fun with your date. Ran into Liz Bloomburg at the dance and hung out with her most of the nite. I LOVE LIZ!!! Yea all three of us (Liz, Elena, and Myself) all had blue dresses. That is the random fact of the day. Thank you and goodnite.

I'm Psyched About My Psych Appointment.

Yea so I had my second Psych appointment today and basically it was just me telling her
1) How meatloaf lady got her name
2) How the show choir people take techies for granted
3) That I hate Mikels for the fact that she pointed out that my mother and I are very much alike
4) Stating the fact that I am colorblind
5) Really dumb stories from my childhood like how I stuck toothpaste up my nose when I was 5.
She said that I might only have to come back for like 2 or 3 more. But the final word is up to my dad and the school. So they'll probably keep me there for like 3 years. Oh well, Carla is a nice lady to talk to so, meh whatever. If it gets me out of STC, I'm game.

On another note, out of the 8 classes that I have, 5 of them had subs. German was Mr. Evil Man Krechner- something or other. Choir and STC was Vanderpoole, Ihnen and Mr. Smith who is as tall as a sack of potatoes, and the finally for Drama and Tech Teathre was Mrs. Mitchell. A very nice old lady who doesn't know anything about Mime. Haha, it was funny.
~Until Then

Yea, Okay.

So I guess, I just got some sense slapped into me. And I think that you're gonna see some changes over the next few months. Okay so you're probably thinking "Yea this is just some bullshit that she's feeding us to make us 'think' that she's okay. But she's gonna go and pull some big stunt that will land her back in the spotlight cause she's some attention starved bitch. So fuck her." Yea okay, I deserve everybit of that. I'm not gonna lie. My behavior since the beginning of this school year has been completely unnacceptable, I'm not going to deny that either. I'm going to counseling tomorrow to try to figure out what the heck is going on in my head. My art is not depressing, it's self therapy and I'll eventually post pictures of them as they get finished. So yea. If this changes your mind about me, so be it. There is nothing that I can do about that. I'm am sorry. For real this time. No finger crosses, no take-backs. Honest truth. I knew I had this coming to me and I wish it had hit me earlier. God. I have A LOT of self repair to do before the old me comes back. But I think all of you will be at ease around me, if that means anything. Maybe this is all one big nightmare that I haven't woken up from, but I highly doubt it. So okay, I'm going to bed, but this time on the right side of the bed.

ALL STATE HERE I COME!!! YEA SOLO MIME AND IMPROV!!!!!!!!
~UNTIL THEN!!!

CONGRATS TO ALL!!!!Okay so State really wore me down. I came home and crashed and woke up maybe 30min. ago. So yea most of Valley got 1's across the board. I was so excited when I got them for my mime skit!! There were A TON of great performances and it was so much fun to see them all. My only complaint, don't have improv in the gym. I ruined my voice by projecting at the top of my lungs just so I could be heard over the fan in the backround. It also seemed to take forever for the ratings to go up, gah and then it was a mass hysteria to get to the window. But now the next thing will be the long wait for the All- State nominations, HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!! Oh BTW...I completely killed my back when I over did my fight fall while practicing up stairs. I am in pain...ow ow ow ow!! Don't ever fall 3 feet onto tile floor with both feet in the air, it hurts!

I have to go to therapy or couseling or whatever the fuck it's called once a week until my person lady man says other wise. I can't even recall her name, that's how much I payed attention on Monday during my session. But the cool thing is that I can stare down on Valley cause it has a perfect view (7 stories up) of the roof of Valley. So yea atleast I can give evil glances to that shit school. Sorry for the freak out in Improv Thane, Thomas, and Kyle. I just don't think I could handle all that crap that I had recieved that day. I sort of had a mental block and couldn't sort things out fast enough and still continue to improv. I'm better now I promise : )!!! I will be fine for State this weekend so have no fears. Yea on another note, I now feel like shit because I told someone that I can no longer trust them, and it's not who you think it would be. I have trust issues, but what they hey. Anyways that's what's going on!

Part 2 of the most hilarious thing I've seen all week.

Probably the most hilarious thing I've seen all week. Watch till the end, it's worth it.

Wow. Okay so yea this mornings Improv rehersal was total shit. I'm not gonna lie. I mean no groups had even a districts worthy skit. I none of us were really with it and it didn't help that it was early in the morning too. Hensley failed again to show up for Improv so Travers and I performed with just the two of us the first time and Thane showed up later and joined the second time we did a skit. I don't think Hensley will be performing with us at Districts, which is fine by me because him and I can't improv well together. There's a brick wall between us and Travers has to act like a carrier pigeon and get the info across. I work pretty well with Travers when we get a good skit going. It's a nice game of Ping Pong. So who knows how Districts will be.

My Final Paper- Please Read

This is my persuasive paper for fundies. It was a way for me to communicate to my teachers without alarming them. It also helped me in healing myself in ways that only I can explain. Pardon my gramatical errors, but I am still very proud of this paper. Please read this with respect and do not laugh, it's not a humor paper. Please read this, for me.

Teachers and Suicide Awareness
Suicide has been a problem in society for many years. The group in society that has been affected by it the most would be adolescents or teenagers. Many teenagers view suicide as a way out of their problems. But suicide is a permanent answer to a temporary problem. With all the stress in society today, it’s no wonder that it takes a beating on teens and drives them to suicidal states. Even with that in mind, most teachers are not aware of just how many students fall into this category. Although there is some awareness instilled in teachers, rising rates of suicide, teacher’s personal awareness, and effects of limited awareness still play a problem in overall awareness.
With the raising suicide rate in the past 10 years, the community within the school has become much more stressful. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth from ages 15-19. A self reported survey has shown that over 20% of students have seriously considered suicide within the past year and another 23% have attempted or made plans to attempt suicide. (Page, Adolescent Suicide) School plays a large part in the stress that builds up. The teenage years are generally a period of high risk for morbidity and mortality. (Page, Adolescent Suicide) Students tend to get entertained by thoughts of dark subjects or their own soul. They concoct these ideas in their heads and review them constantly. Dark as these subjects may be to others; the student is highly fascinated by them and continues to develop more ideas of the same nature. Along with school, home life is another large player in the game of suicide. Parents drive their students to be strong achievers. Students also receive self and peer pressure to perform well academically and socially. Most parents today hold a full- time job, which leaves less time for them to be around their children. Children slowly become isolated from their parents and must rely on themselves. (Gale, Interview)
Community concern about youth suicide has created community pressure for schools to develops and implement a variety of suicide prevention initiatives. (Page, Adolescent Suicide) Many secondary schools are hoping to increase the sensitivity of school personnel to recognize the signs of suicide-prone youth. (Page, Adolescent Suicide) Many teachers do not have a good sense of the warning signs and may disregard them as “normal” teenage problems. Schools seek to create programs where teachers may learn and recognize the signs of suicide before it’s too late. It is imperative for schools to have high-quality suicide prevention programs. The programs themselves are often implemented in the schools (rather than outside but school sponsored) and are usually directed towards students as well as teachers. (Davidson, Suicide Prevention)
As stated previously, many teachers do not have much of an idea of how many suicidal- prone students they deal with on a day to day basis. The teachers who are more in-tune and well connected with their students are more likely to notice the suicidal behaviors. They usually are able to do this because they (as a teenager) had deeply contemplated and/or attempted suicide themselves. They would know what the student is going through/dealing with and would be able to place themselves in their students’ shoes. (Mikels, Interview)
In areas of being connected with their students, teachers are on many different levels. Out of the four teachers interviewed for this paper, all four were at different levels or connections with their students. Mr. Cameron Gale has a fairly good sense of the emotional state of his students. He connects very well with most of his students that he teaches in his classes. But when confronted with a suspicion that a student is having a rough time outside of class, he isn’t willing to press the issues or pester his student, for fear of alienating that student farther than he or she already is. (Interview)
Mr. Robert Schebel feels extremely well-connected with his students. He says that it is extraordinarily important for teachers to reach out to their students and connect with them personally, not just strictly a student teacher relation. He realizes that teachers can’t make a strong connection with all of their students, but then can at least try. Although Mr. Schebel is relatively new to teaching, he still feels that he is very well connected with his students; some of those students are not even ones he has in classes. He commented on the chemistry of the teenage brain. They are naturally manic depressive, dealing with social environment, family issues, and school pressures. (Interview)
Another interviewee, Mr. David Cochran, is less certain of his personal connection with his students. He doesn’t feel well connected with students, and due to that he is not able to speak for the student body. Most of his students in his classes generally stay quite due to the nature of the class. He has some personal sense that he knows his students in class fairly well, but he might be completely in the dark on their real personality. It might just be that the student is having trouble in that particular class and tends to keep quite; while outside of that class the student is vibrant and outgoing. (Interview)
Like the first two teachers, Mrs. Janelle Mikels feels well-connected with her students. She can tell a lot about her students by their body language. They might be slumped over or are not attentive in class and generally stay to themselves or might confide only in one person. If a student does show suicidal tendencies, the teachers of that student will get together and discuss that student. If a student she has is suicidal, usually by the time knowledge reaches her, the attempt has already passed and she can simply do nothing but support the student. She strongly believes that teachers do play an important role in how students deal with their lives. Most students don’t actually realize this fact until much later. Mrs. Mikels is a teacher who believes in hidden curriculum. Of course a student attends a class to learn about literature, math, broadcasting, science, etc. But he or she might leave that class, having learned a lesson about responsibility. (Interview)
As wonderful as these four teachers are, there are still those out there who are very reluctant to notice suicide hints and may just disregard threats all together. A great number of teachers will disregard suicide “threats” as jokes or over-frustration. Also some teachers, somewhat like Mr. Gale, are reluctant to help out a student when faced with a threat. They might be scared for any number of reasons, but all teachers are mandatory reporters if suicide is brought to their attention. (Davidson, Suicide Prevention)
Even if teachers were to go through some kind of program and would be then able to recognize the warning signs, the initial contact between the student and teacher is very important. Teachers are the front line in the regards of dealing with students’ problems. They might hear things from the student’s friends or from the student directly. Teachers need to be prepared (no matter what area of school they teach) to deal with suicidal students. It would be very beneficial to the students; if teachers became less uncomfortable and more willing to deal with students. (Davidson, Suicide Prevention)
Hopefully, in the near future, it will become a requirement for teachers to be instilled with knowledge of warning signs and how to deal with them. If this were to happen, trained personnel would have to available within the school setting to respond to students who are experiencing troubled feelings. The timing of the interaction between students and teachers is also a major key in prevention. (Page, Adolescent Suicide)
Ultimately in the end, it is entirely up to the students to reach out to their teachers. They must take the first step in asking for help. Many students are unwilling to come to a teacher directly, for fear of getting in trouble with higher administration. Normally they will confide in a close friend(s), and the friend(s) would come to the teacher with concern for their friend. Students must realize that teachers are not mental health professionals and can’t be expected to function as such. Often teachers have no training in suicide intervention and cannot be held responsible for emergency care and/or long term therapy. (Davidson, Suicide Prevention)
There is cause for hope, however. Many teachers have (in their career) helped a suicidal student. They have been there for them in their time(s) of need. Often a student will feel a great sense of trust in the teacher and confront them after class or after school. It is their cry for help; they can no longer keep all of the emotions built up inside them. The teacher listens to them and tries to help them cope and sort out their problems that they are dealing with. (Gale, Schebel, Cochran, Mikels, Interview) The world would be a better place if all teachers opened their eyes, minds, and hearts to their students and in return hope that the students will do the same.

I recieved a score of 97 out of 100. I was highly impressed as were my teachers.

Count the Days Folks

Okay, I know that I was wrong over the summer, but I believe that I an correct now. At the end of the school year, the auditorium will be closed for construction purposes. The last thing the auditorium will be used for will be the choir, band, and orchestra concerts. Which means that the improv people will need tofind a new home. GAH GAH GAH!!! Also starting next year (school year)thanks to our wonderful Govenor, he has now passed a law saying that all the fine arts departments must now compete for grants from the state of Iowa. There goes Drama as we know it, there goes the jazz choir, there goes the choirs, there goes marching band, there goes the neighborhood. But you know, at least football will have funding. I mean that's all that matters right??

Okay Folks

Wow. Why does everyone hate my fucking guts all of the sudden? I mean yea I am not suicidal anymore. I'm just depressed and its not gonna happen at all. I mean it this time, I swear on my life for which I am lucky to have. I'm sorry to a certain someone to whom of which I have made their life a living hell. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. It's just that when I get depressed or really overly stressed, I say things that I don't mean. People never get the whole side of what I have to say. I've stoped caring about that, I mean if they don't want to listen to me, than that's fine. This past week has really shown me who my true friends are, and I'm sorry to say, not a whole lot of my "other friends" make the list, I realize that sounds harsh, but you all have been pretty damn harsh to me. I realize you talk behind my back and curse my very existance. I'm not blind, just color blind. One of my teachers pointed out to me something I never would have realized on my own, this paper that I am currently writing for fundies, is a healing process for what I went through in the bloody month of November. I am slowly healing myself, it's just going to take a really long time to complete. I will become the old Pichler again, maybe just a little bit better than that, cause I know most of you hated the old Pichler anyways, but hey who the hell reads this anyways. November was a really shitty month for me and it always will be, no matter what. I can't change that month. I'm am sorry, I know you don't believe me anyways. I really want things to go back to the way they were before all hell broke loose in everyones lives, not just mind. I hope you guys can atleast see that in me.

Maybe I should switch to Johnston and work full time. Maybe I should drop out at 16. Maybe I should just stop talking. Why can't we all just go back to 8th grade and keep relations likes those.

Homecoming is Over Rated

Yea okay so I've never actually stayed for an entire homecoming dance cause last year I went bowling after a half and hour and this year I left at 9:30 to go get something from a coffee shop. Hyvee Hall doesn't have that "classic" dance feel. Granted yes we didn't boil to death but still it seemed like gym class with horridly fancy clothes and a D.J. I mean people barely danced with their dates and they just talked in groups the entire time. It was too bright in there also. It also didn't help the fact that I had Theresa Simmions following me around all night when I was there with MY date. It was akward...really akward. Another fact I can tell you is that Student Government people didn't have as nearly as much fun as we could, reason being is that we already spent 4 hours there setting up and yea it sucked. Well atleast I didn't lose $16 cause I worked for my tickets, so that's not bad. I mean yea, I'll go to H.C. next year, but who knows how long I'll stay for that one. But Valentines isn't for a nother 5 months and that is a whole nother story.

Okay there is no point in doing a review on the Mime show cause Toma and Lemonator have nicely done that for you guys...plus for the fact that I've seen the show like 12 times. Anyways yea living with my mom is total HELL!! If I don't call her at a certain time she gets pissed. Well okay first of all I have a phone and I think she knows how to dial like 7 numbers...and secondly after living with my father for 2 years...I kinda find it hard to make a switch over to my moms house. Another thing is that she bitches on how I don't spend time at the house...I'VE OBLY BEEN THERE FOR 2 DAYS!!! Holy cow! I can't wait untill my dad gets back.

Dance Marathon

So I did that dance marathon last night/ this morning...wow are my feet dead. 10 hours of dancing will kill you. I danced barefoot and my feet were so black from it too. But it was a lot of fun. You just dance and do moves and know one cares what you do really and the songs are great cause everyone still loves them even tho no one will admit it. I mean they played the Macarina, YMCA, Doo Wap, La Vita Loca, and what not it was great. The first 3 hours or so are pretty fun cause you have tons of energy, but then as the night progresses, things get tiresome. At 3 am, the marathon was only half over and it seems like time is standing still. People really start dragging around 2ish or so, but I didn't lose energy till baout 6:30 before I finally called it quits. Was it painful...yea...but will I do it again next year? Oh yea!

Hey.

Haven't seen you much lately--or rather, I've seen, but not spoken. How's life? School? Pointless Stuff?

I've decided that highschool is stressful. Testament: I'm dropping art. Lemme repeat that--I am dropping art. Yes, 3-4 hours of homework on average a night will do that to a person.

Pichler is a H.O.R....House of Rep.

Okay so yesterday in advisory, Mrs. Loge asked if anyone was intersted in runninh for HOR. No one raised their hands, so after a few minutes I raised mine only to say I would THINK about it. I just wanted to make her feel better (I wasn't actually gonna do it). So yea then today during advisory we went to go elect people for the HOR, no one got up to give a speech. The teachers were trying to get us to try it, they didn't care just as long as someone ran. Well I don't know what made me do it, but I got up there and improved about a 2 min. speech or so...we it turns out no one else ran and I am no a HOR. WTF did I get myself into?

Heh... I laughed.

There are two statues in a park; one of a nude man and one of a nude woman. They had been facing each other across a pathway for a hundred years, when one day an angel comes down from the sky and, with a single gesture, brings the two to life. The angel tells them, "As a reward for being so patient through a hundred blazing summers and dismal winters, you have been given life for thirty minutes to do what you've wished to do the most." He looks at her, she looks at him, and they go running off together behind the shrubbery. The angel waits patiently as the bushes rustle and giggling ensues. After fifteen minutes, the two return, out of breath and laughing. The angel tells them, "Um, you have fifteen minutes left." The male statue asks the woman statue, "Would you like to do it again?" "Oh, yes let's," she replies! "But let's change positions. This time, I'll hold the pigeon down, and you shit on its head.

You apparently are in the wrong place my friend.

I guess if you miss people telling you what to do.

A modern day miracle.

Heh...only for music nerds... which is mainly me. But I picked up this funny song today and its amusing. Called "I just want to sing in a choir"

Main Choir: Each year we hold audtions, which have very strict conditions, to help us on our quest to find the best! We do need one more member in the group by late December, so we're willing to put some-one to the test.

Main Soloist: My greated desire is to sing in a choir, wether alto or tenor or bass.

*main choir responds with spoken ok*

Main Solist: Soprano is out, cause there just is no doubt, my weak squeak would bring on disgrace

*main choir laughs*

MS: Imagine the spectre of me as director, with having to sing every line? With my small range that's crazy, plus a mem'ry thats hazy, and a resonance hard to define. My pitch is not on, and my eye-sight is gone. But deep in my heart there's a fire. I'll practice my singing 'till both ears are ringing. I just want to sing in a choir!

MC: She just wants to sing in a choir!

MS: I read all that choral stuff, difficult oral stuff, other parts are so distracting. I try hard to concentrate, is this a singers fate or am I over reacting?

MC: We think she is over reacting!

MS: Alas and a lack, I am taken aback by the thought of our singing together. I have a deep loathing for the theatrical clothing and my voice seems to change with the weather.

Choir Soloist: I have a strong conviction that a singer must have diction to express the subtle feelings in a song

MC: This girl may have good diction, but we say with great conviction, that in this group she won't last very long!

MS: I drink herbal tea with basil, to avoid my sounding nasal, to make each word I sing clear as a bell. I try to say each "essss" with a delicate finessssse.

Choir Soloist: She sounds just like the arrow in the op'ra Willian Tell

*swishing sounding and choir giggles*

MS:I've tried breathing with corection, just to aid in my projection. My voice can now be heard in any hall. I can sing both loud and quiet.

MC: Say this girl's a real riot!

CS: May I suggest you try it in a rather empty mall?

*Choir bursts with laughter. Directore taps the baton and waves for instanr quiet*

MS: I find myself mumbling to cover my stumbling. A singing coach I plan to hire. It may sound absurd, but I mean ev'ry word, I do want to sing in a choir!

MC: The poor girl has passion, and in some sort of fashion, we sing this with out any ire. If she doesn't make noise and on stage some poise..Or if she doesn't yell, she can stay for a spell..and sing with us here in the choir!

*Choir cheers and yells as everyone congrats. the "new member" and leaves*

Hey everyone, I'm off to the land of the Ozarks in the south. Woo Hoo! Pichler is finally getting out of the house and now she can finally say that her sumemr vaca. has started! I'll be back Sunday sometime. Not that any of you really care but hey I'm just saying that so you can ask "Where's Pichler?" and already mhave an answer. Maybe while I'm down there I can tan this pasty white body of mine. Hahaha I make myself laugh! But if I'm lucky I won't come back with tomato skin. So I'm off! ~Until Then

The biggest oxymoron I've ever seen
expressive, open, self revealing, loves large parties, loud, social, outgoing, does not like social isolation, assertive, social chameleon, positive, always busy, likes to fit in, likes to stand out, enjoys leadership, brutally honest, trusting, optimistic, desires attention, dominant, aggressive, attachment prone, wants to be understood, realistic

Stability results were medium which suggests you are moderately relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.

Extraversion results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity

The Completely Pointless Personality Quiz


You seriously can get so many results...but I personally liked this one the best.

Okay here's a fun little link for all of you who currently have no significant other. It's just some more high-school type humor. Not bad I promise. Really quite funny though.

Something sorta like a low budget remake of The Ring.

I might just have to try this for my self.

Ok so yesterday I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and let me tell you it was extremly good. Yes I know that I like Johnny Depp and it's also a Tim Burton movie, but that's what makes it so good. Tim bring this movie to life in so many ways. The set is unbelievable and the costumes and the characters are insane. No for those of you who don't want to ruin the image you have se in your mind from the '71 version with Gene Wilder, I still recomend you go see it. Maybe you can compare the two and find similar things and differences from both movies. I myself loved the '71 version and was a bit skeptical about the '05 version but I was amazed. I strongly recommend that you go see this movie.
