Wow, 20 days without anything on here. Geesh, I'm lazy it's summer. Leave me alone. Summer has been fairly hectic with my 2 jobs. Transportation is a Bitch. Panera is easy enough to get to by walking, but my other job with Vector is in Urbandale by the Ice Arena, that's a bit further than Panera. But I like the job out there because I get to talk to people all day and sit down for my job! Yay for being a recruiter! My Germany trip is a week away and I'm soo excited. I mean 2 weeks in Germany with my bestfriend, no cares or worries in the world. Just the 2 of us doing whatever we want to! It's gonna be freakin amazing! But besides the good things from summer, I'm not sure that many of you heard of the car accident that I got into on the 10th on June, which means I can't get my full license until next June. Oh well, that's not that big of a loss. I was at Petsmart picking up 2 Parakeets, because Bobber "flew" away and so did the little Parakeet, and I pulled into this parking spot next to this car that was parked crooked in her spot and we were up against a wall, so I couldn't get out anyway else cept the way I came in, and when I pulled out (she was backed in) and I tore off the drivers side front flare and the wheel well, I damaged her flare, but it stayed on the car. The damage wasn't too bad, but the lady was a lady in her 20's so she was uber pissed. Gah! But the damage, like I said, only totalled about $1000 for both cars, my dad can put the new flare back on his car and so our premiums might not go up! Yay! But other than that, my summer has been fairly un-eventful.

Okay so yes an overly long due post is needed. So the Chicago trip was simply fantastic and amazing. You should have been there, you would have LOVED IT! But Wicked, wow, that musical was simply beyond my vocabulary of adjactives and nouns. Wicked was very well written, yes the cast could have been better, but it wasn't the broadway cast. I loved it anyways. I'm listening to the soundtrack now as I write this. Hahahah. But yea so summer has started and I can't wait for July until I leave. I refuse to let this summer be as boring as the last, I mean waking up at 6am every day for 5 weeks to go to drivers ed at VSW? That sucked. Big time. Already I've had an amazing time in a water fight and I can't wait till next Friday for the Comedy XP's 3rd b-day show! And working will be amazing, I love working and seeing people and making drinks and selling pasteries and breads. And of course that wonderful pay check every 2 weeks. Hrm. Another year down and 2 more to go for us at VHS. Next year can make or break us. I'm not exactly looking forward to it. But that's later. No I'm not going to go through and make a list of all the things that happened at VHS this year and to me. It's pointless, if you really want to know just review the last 10 months or so. But I'm looking forward to this summer, and nothing will stop me from achieving that goal. Oh yea if you guys want to hang out sometime, I have a vehicle of transportation for 10 days starting this Saturday the 10th. My daddy leaves for England with Meatload lady and he is giving me the lovely Salsa Red Jeep! Yay Happiness! Call me, y'all know the number.

Hahah I found away around the schools stupid internet cookies thing. GO ME! *takes time to dance* yea so okay I'm not in 3D art right now, there's nothing to do now that I'm done with all of my projects. But yea, I've practically lived in this library for the week working on projects. My bio desert project, my choir sight reading project, my german Auschwitz project, and then my STC women of music project. Ugh it sucks. I've never had this many projects, it's sad. No really, it is. You should cry for me. Oh well. Hmmm. I've checked out of all of my classes, I mean we're not doing anything right? Right! I mean today in math, I've heard that we're gonna color, and I have to take that final, but I'm just gonna B.S. the thing and take a C in the class. Oh well, I'll just take an A.P. class. Hrrrmmm. Choir is retarded now that all the auditions are over with and the only choir left to be posted is Show Choir, I didn't even try out so yea I'm done. Drama is done with basically and German is to. Yeeeaaack. So where was I, sorry I spaced off. Working is pretty fun. I hate the cash register, it's sooo confusing and hectic. Soo many buttons and screens. But I like making drinks, you should come in and I'll make you a Carmel Latte or an I.C. mocha. Yummy! Okay so this is the end of my rant, blah blah blah back to boredom.

Yea totally just got back from dyeing my hair. It's Pimpin Purple (thank you pink haired lady) Candy Pink, Blue Haired Freak and some random red color. I love it. She bleached it and part of my red hair wouldn't come out, sad I know. The world weeped silently for a moment. My hair is totally kick ass and I want to marry it (well no not really). Hahaha I totally rule. Totally.

I'm sooo confused! Which one is Espresso?

*RANDOM MIND RAMBLINGS* Please don't blame me if you can't follow it.
Okay so this is my first post after my birthday. Yea it's pretty sweet being 16, pretty kick ass birthday (no I don't have a car *tear*) but I mean I wasn't expecting one anyways so it doesn't matter. Yea, I mean I have an ass load of responsibilites now that I have a job at Panera's - You should all buy bagels and have yummy soup and stop in when I'm working so that you can laugh at me in my funny hat and apron- but I like it. It gives me a sense of firm placing on the ground and that I'm actually doing something with my life. I like it. School is alright, starting to slow down because I'm losing interest in most of my classes. I mean choir is only left with auditions and 6 out of the 15 STC girls didn't make it into A Capella and they all kick ass at what they do and STC'ers are usually shoe-ins for A Cap. It's ridiculous. The big thing left for me is Valley Singers and then Show Choir. For those of you who have heard and listened to me as I bitch about my mother, I went and visited her on my birthday. It wasn't a pleasent visit and I now refuse to call her mom or w.e. because I feel like she hasn't been a mother type figure to me in the past 6 years ever since my parents divorced. Wow it has almost been 6 years, geez. Sorry. But sadly I've stopped knowing what I want in life and in myself lately. I just kind of exist at school and busy my mind with my projects and technical settings. When I'm at home, I space off and just do what ever until I have to fall asleep and start it all over again the next day. My cats are basically the only campanions I have at home. Oh well, I like my dad, but I like it when he's out of the house. I think I just need something new, yea I have a job and I'm 16, sweet and all, don't get me wrong, but it's not exactly what I was looking for. Maybe something will happen soon, I hope. My relation with Nick, well to be frank, isn't that great. (Yay for bitching about my relations) I mean it's the second time that we've dated and I guess I don't feel anything for him like I used to. Sure I play the girl friend and yea it's hard to ignore the fact that this guy would get me the moon if I asked for it. He's sweet and funny, but I just don't have the "fascination" that I did 8 months ago when I first started really liking him. I think I just need to take some time and sort that out, but not be around him. Ugh. I don't know anymore. I just can't wait for my trip with Elena in July. She's my best friend and I love her to death and it's just gonna be the 2 of us for 2 weeks basically by ourselves our in Germany. Both of us have no idea what we're gonna find out there, but we can't wait. The only thing I really have right now is my art. But I get so frusterated that I just don't have the time to devote my full attention to it so that it can turn out amazing, they keep breaking or lose their meaning. If you ever got a hold of my sketch book, you'd see what the meaning behind my pieces really are. That sketch book is like my journal, but with pictures to go with it. Yay for picture books. Maybe I should write more poetry, I haven't done that in a while, hmmm.

Rain Rain Go Away Come Again Another Day

Yay for new skin! I like this one a lot!!! With the exception of the crappy weather, this weekend has been pretty kick ass. I sat at home and caught up on my sleep and watched the Blues Brothers but the major thing of my weekend was that I got a job! Yes an actual pay check job that has nothing to do with my mother! I work at Panera Bread on 42nd street near Valley and my house! Can you say "yummy bagels?" ....I'm serious can you say it? ..... There you go! I knew you could do it. If I could give you a certificate of amazing bagel speaking skills, I would, but unfortunantly for you I don't have a working printer so too bad. All that hard work for nothing. But another thing about this weekend is that I discovered a new passion that I have, Synchronized Swimming. On Thursday I was asked to run the spot light for the Tigerlillies and thought that I would just bring a book or some homework when there was down time. I was wrong! Besides from the 90 degree humidity, the shows were amazing! The theme was Rock This Town and all the songs that they performed to were oldies Rock Songs. Amazing! I'm sooo going out for it next year. It's basically theatre in the water and it is so beautiful to watch. Oh yea, my new obsession is CASCADA! Yea Techno!!

Happy Easter Everyone! So we're a week out from the play and all the pieces are finally starting to fall together. The lights are all set and look amazing! The actual set is pretty kick ass if you've actually been to rehersal at all last week. Yea I'm not exactly fond of the play this year and I've put more effort into the damn tech side than I have the production side. Oh well. And a good majority of you that actually read this probably can't wait till Monday for the Good/ Bad news about Improv. I mean yea Improv is the most frickin amazing thing ever but Hansen is being a but and wants like 24 people in the damn group, I mean look what happened last year, we can't have that. It'll ruin everything! Oh well, not much we can do about it, but atleast Joe is on our side for the matter and not Hansen's. Well I hope you have a pretty cool, drizzly, Easter!

Okay this is my poster design for Technical Theatre. I worked for about 2 hours on this things and I'm really proud of it. I took the picture my self! It's not a googled thing. You can even ask Amanda. It's her doll that I had to borrow and it looks great!! I'm so flippin happy with it!!!

Okay if you haven't figured it out already, I'm not at school. Surprise surprise! But I'm just about run down and don't want to move from my bed. I'm practically deaf in my right ear and my eyes hurt from crying (good crying) tears. Last night was soo amazing in more than one way. I know for the mimes, Thomas and Jordan, that it was your first show and you guys totally rocked my socks off with it! You are amazing actors/improvers and really can pull through in a tough situation. The whole B.D. and B.D.T. are what make my day worth while and that's why this week totally kicked some major ass!! I loved every minute, yea even when I got pissed off at you guys. But even though we all have 2 more years to go, last night will be the hardest let go next to when we graduate. Liz Bloomburg means soo much to me. And even though I'm not Ass. Man, I still have had a hard time accepting the fact that she won't be there next year with us. But the B.D.T will be strong and we won't let the B.D. down......I'm not tired, I'm not tired....

Ah the last day of spring break. What a sad occasion. I mean a week of being free of most of our resbonsibilities. A week of sleeping in til noon. A week of listening to your favorite music. A week of watching movies on t.v. A week of being completely bored because everyone else is in Florida, Mexio, the Caribbean, or where ever the hell they are. I mean come on, I swear only the cool people stay in Iowa for break. I mean we live in this exciting metrapolis of life and fun and corn. Well I think I'm gonna go light scotch tape on fire now. Tata.

Interesting night is had by me. Uhm yea well I'd love to explain but I can't. It's against my code of conduct. Lets just say I couldn't see straight after 8 1/2 hours of being somewhere coldish.

Okay so about every few months, the town home manager sends out a letter with up coming projects, events, complaints, etc. I usually just galnce through them cause I have nothing better to do, but this time there was a paragraph realation to the little presents that the neighborhood dogs leave all over the place and this sentence caught my eye.

"So the bottom line is: To our WPHA residents with pets, thank you for cleaning up after your pets, keep up the good work; To the scoundrels from outside our little world, who leave there dog poop on our lawn- shame on them; To the rest of us- it will be gone in the spring, so be patient."

I hope this has made you smile.

No I'm not depressed, I'm fine I promise. I done with that. But I figured out tonight, that I am not the person I precieved myself to be. I thought I was loud and out going, but it turns out that I am rather quiet and reserved in a large group. But still I mean all this time trying to live up to reputation that I thought I had acheived along with a personality to match? Who am I trying to fool? No one. I'm really only good for a few things (not a threat I promise) outside of school. I mean when I'm not at school, I'm at home either sleeping or on the computer just chilling and listening to music. But I really don't have that much of a major social life I once had. I mean yea I hang out with Elena, but she's usually to busy or out with Alex. Sure I have friends and what not, but they all lead very active social lives and I rarely ever hang out with anyone outside of school. I'm talking about hey lets just go to the mall or go out to Fridays or whatnot. It's rather pathetic don't you think?

OKAY... any of you that went to Indian Hills for 7th grade probably remember hearing about Altimeir's 3 laws of science
1. Round things roll
2. Glass things break
3. When you heat things, they get hot.

Well I have forgotten the concept of rule #3. I have burned my self no less than 12 times in the past 24 hours. I really don't have much common sense do I?
