Hey. I know I havn't up dated this thing in FOREVER. I guess I've just been spending more time living life than recording it on here for the like 4 ppl that actually bother to read this thing. Anyways, I'd like to invite any of my friends that do read this to come to my open house. Here's the info:
::my open house:: june 25th, 2005 -- my house-- opens at noon--acording to BmcG we're gonna have slip and slides with vegitable oil lol, so that should be interesting. Volly ball, pina colladas and strawberry/bannan daquires (I can't spell) and a number of other activities. Hope you're there!
It's going to be a lot of fun! (240-3821 if you need directions)
Hmm update on my current life.. lets see....
1.) yes me and josh are "dating" lol. 1/2 the school bugged us every day about whether we were or not, and the other 1/2 just assumed and made up crap lol.. so, the answer is yes. Please quit asking! :)
2.) I'm going to new york tommrow with CB, Ali, Nathan and Melissa. I'm hoping that turns out to be fun. I'm at least looking foward to the week off of work. :)~
3.) I'm going to attend Oakland University (so you can stop asking about that too...) No I don't know my major. One of the following : animal sciences, theater production, psychology, dancing and performing arts. Don't know yet...
4.) if you want to reach me, my new cell # is 810-240-3821... call me whenever. I really don't want to drift too far from all of the friends I've made over the years. I LOVE YOU GUYS! lol.
ummmm... thats basically it at the moment. come to my open house, call me sometime, and ummm.. I wouldn't count on this being up dated for a while lol :)~ I'm really bad with that...

so... yeah.. um... I havn't updated in quite a while. The most recent events: Christmas break was fantastic!!! The movies were awesome john.. thanks :) The musical has turned out to be a lot of fun so far. Most people don't think I have any fun at it because I don't do a whole lot yet other than run arrands and take attendance... but, I Have no other friends or life, so the musical is like my "hang out" time with everyone :) haha.. I'm such a LOOSER! Currently, my life mostly contains school, musical, work, dance... not necessarily always in that order. I'm trying to figure out who, if anyone, that I want to ask to sadies... I think I might have one person in mind, but I want a little more assurance that he somewhat would be intrested. I don't want to be stuipd about it lol! NO sense in gettin' shut down if you know its gonna happen... (it would be cool if he'd ask me.. concidering I've never been asked to ANY dance by a guy...) I'll give you all 1 clue and thats it!... hes in the musical... no more clues! EVER! haha.. unless we end up going and you'll see us lol. Anywho... This is dumb.. I'm going to stop.

So yeah, tonight was the cast party for an evening with santa. It was pretty cool. We all went to Sarah's house and by we all I mean like, EVERYONE... even some people that had nothing to do with the play at all lol. We all sat around and watched SWAT. It was pretty fun. I was looking foward to something happening with a particular guy there, and it started to look like it was going to, but then another girl sat on the other side of him, and, well, lets just say I lost lol. Guess I'm just not good enough lol. Ohh well, usually goes down that way anyways. I'm startin to get really used to it now haha. Anyways, working alot, like always. ACTS next weekend... blah. IRP's due soon, have NO idea when and I'm not even close to being done. Figures. For whatever reason the holidays have this depressing effect on me. Everyone is holding hands and proposing marrige and having partys and inviting there "honeys" and such to christmas and I'm by myself... all the time... just, me. lol. Its starting to get old, but then again I'm used to it. Kind of like school for the last 13 years lol. Anyways, I'm done, if anyone is reading this, they've probably deleted it by now. Talk to ya later.

Havn't written in a while. Sorry Katie K! I've been working my butt off at good ol' Panera Bread... just got back from some shopping :) hehe. Waiting for Kevin to get on... god I love that kid! Not looking foward to french tommrow, mrs. ranta made us do these stuipd comercial recordings and shes going to play them in class tommrow and I don't want to be embarassed by it... Plus, I think my group might have recorded over someone in our class... who knows how to use an 8 track player anymore?! lol ohh well, At this point I'm starting to really hate french with a passion. I wish Mrs. Ranta didn't go so fast and make everything so hard, and then really embarassing when you don't understand. I hate it now! I used to love it! Anyways, basically my current life is talking with Katie and Danielle... loving Kevin every second of every day, which is crazy because hes so far away right now... and trying to completly pamper myself as much as possible. Today, I bought a new blanket that is SOOOOOO soft.. I can't wait to just cuddle up with it tonight... ooo, I'm so excited... who knows, maybe someone would want to join me? ;) ::nudge nudge:: although, no girls allowed please... (sorry girls) Anyways, Guess I'm gonna talk to my guy... ttyl

ps. Katie, odds are I won't get back on this for about a week or so... just so ya know. :) |

homecomming sucked. My date didn't dance with me once. He didn't wear the boutineer I bought him, and he was really annoying and embarassing the whole time. I've been sick for about 2 weeks now. I'm finally starting to pick myself up again. I've been concentrating alot on the play, which is comming up this weekend, and should be pretty good. For some reason, that stupid depressed feeling is lurking around me alot latley. It likes to remind me how lonley I am, and how much I wish people wouldn't hurt me and use me, and just... love me, the way that my friends are loved by their boyfriends. I know that I'm really dumb, but I don't see what I do that is so wrong, that I can't have what they have. OHh well... there really isn't much that I can do about it now. I just have to live without a love life I guess. (not that I havn't for like the past 3 years...) I did have a little hint of something once, but thats all it turned out to be, a hint.. and it wasn't of what I thought it was. Halloween is comming up. I wish I had plans. I wish I had a party to go to, or friends to go trick or treating with, or something... but I think for the most part I'm going to be spending Sunday night doing my laundry and catching up on all of my homework... I know, sounds so exciting. This entry kinda sucks, sorry about that, Its mostly alot of complaining and whining.. but, I gotta have somwehre to vent wehre my friends wont get mad at me for it lol. Anyways, gotta work tommrow... and the color guard party.

hmm.. been a while, lets see. Friday, had a foot ball game. Of COURSE Fenton lost again... It was pooring rain and freezing out and colorguard was having a hard time. (I got a litte embarassed because we only have 1 more game, and I'm the captain, and when they don't make any progress, it looks like its my fault.. : / ) Anyways... Saturday I had to work, it was alright, but I was tired. Got to be on the line tho, that was fun :) Then I went over to Jasons for a bit. We watched some tv... had some fun... then I watched him play his friends guitar and then spent like an hour watching him call Rob, because he has seperation anxiety from him lol. They are always together. Sunday, had to woark again... not so good because I was on register.. I hate being on register.. its not any fun. You cant fool around or talk to anyone you just have to ask people what they want, and take their money.. ooo, how exciting! Monday I didn't really do a whole lot. Just went to school and came home. It wasn't all that great. Tuesday, Went to school, then went to dance. Ballet killed me.. I was so exhausted. Today, went to school and then got on here to waste my time like always... I go to Dance later. Tommrow we have our first tech run through for PPC.. Can't wait, it should be pretty fun. The booth is just full of party people lol, its gonna be cool. Friday is Homecoming game.. as much as I would like us to win, we probably wont... I'm really hoping that the ColorGuard looks really good. Its our last game and its going to be like 20 degreese out and I just want us all to have a really good time and be totally awesome at it. Everyone has worked so hard for it... (go colorguard! lol) Yeah, I'm stupid.. shut up. Guard is cool. Saturday I have to work at freaking 7:30 am!!! I get off at 1 and then get my hair did and go to dinner and all of that nonsense... Hope the dance is at least semi-decent. My date is a friend from work.. haha, I dont even know his last name!... ohh well, he said he wanted to go, and I didn't have a date, so. yeah, whatever. My cuz is comming from Novi too, so that will be fun! Anyway, I'm gonna go nap I think. Leave a comment... you know you want to!

There are about 100 things that I want to happen, that could easily happen and arn't impossible to happen, that... well, don't seem as though they are going to happen. Which, figures. Anyways, Happiness is on the bottom of the hill on the rollercoaster... it just sunk wayyyyy down a little while back, and now I'm patiently waiting for someone to turn the ride back on so it can climb its way back up the hill.

So lets see, today...
No school, that was nice. Didn't get to hang out with Steve, his mom wouldn't let him because hes "sick" even though hes really not lol. Then had pratice, that was pretty fun, then the game which was a blast, for me anyways. It could have been better, but, I had a ton of fun. Then the dance, which was also fun. There was this one really sad part for me, but, it passed very quickly and I got back to doing the hussle. :) heh... it was fun anyways. Now I'm on here and I'm kinda sad again because I'm thinking of random things that... well... make me sad. Tommrow is the guard party, looking foward to that, it should be cool. I have tons of HW to do, thats kinda poopy. Anyways, tired now.. talk to you later.

SO lets see... my life this week has been insaine. Monday was good, until I got online. Descided to go out on a limb and found out my suspicions were true, and that I was being lied to. At this point, I'm pretty much over that now, although, it hurt more than anything. Of all of the people (guys in general) that have hurt me, NONE of them lied right to my face, they all just danced around the truth. Anyways, yeah... whatever. Tuesday sucked because I had spent all monday night crying and had a headache and sore throat, stuffy nose, puffy eyes... the works. And then I got yelled at by like every teacher that day... and of COURSE Mr. Wright has to talk about relationships the whole hour lol... figures. Wednesday, was good. I talked to my friend all 7b and found that I have alot in common with him when it comes to people stomping all over our emotions lol. It felt good to have someone to talk to who wasn't like " i dont want to hear about your problems, quit complaining.." He listend... that was cool. After school I held a colorguard pratice to go over the side line routines for friday, not including me and katie K... only 5 people of 12 others showed up. Generally, I was angry. But the 5 people know the sidelines and hopefully people will show up to my pratice tommrow right before the game to learn them. Today, I had school.. it was a decent day for an A day... then dance... exhausting but gave me lots of random energy and then I went to the talent show, which, was canceld because the power went out, I watched a movie with Steve in his van and we talked about homecoming and a bunch of other fun stuff... hopefully I can go to his place tommrow and watch a movie before pratice and the game. Saturday is a guard party, I'm hoping its fun. Sister is comming out to do arbonne stuff and it should be pretty cool. Anyways, I guess thats my life at the moment... if you're interested in comming with me and like 10 other people to Mongolian BBQ for Homecoming.. just let me know lol... I'm makeing the reservations on like saturday or sunday. Umm, tired now. Talk later.

so yeah, tonight (saturday) was my second consecutive night at the all mighty awesome apple fest lol. The 1st night, (friday) I hug out with Rachel, Jeremy G. and Brian Yates... along with Steve Gangi and our "possie" lol... then tonight, Steve Gangi and Deven Vaughn and Rachel were my main group. Rock the "pirate gang!" Anyways, we walked around and talked with tons of cool people... actually convinced Rachel to go on the hang glider.. TWICE! And I must have gone on the bumper cars and fun house like 20 times lol. So fun... anyways, I'm so tired. Game this up-comming friday, that should be pretty fun. Then colorguard party on saturday, which should also be fun :) I've been a little sad recently and it sucks. Guys are so confusing. They say one thing, and don't act it. Its like, they say something and the one thing that would prove that they meant it, they dont do... and they dont tell you why. Ohh well... guess I'm going to homecomming alone again this year. Anyways, Sleep is calling my name so, I'll write again later when something exciting happens.

Houdy! So, I'm in a good mood right now... I just got back from Katie Wick's Sweet 16 party at Fenton House and it was freaking AWESOME! Lol... strange things happen when you put 15 band members together with pizza, bread sticks, pop and chocolate fudge ice cream cake lol... Like for example, here is a small clip of a conversation that occured.. Jim: Common Katie, you just gotta get your finger out of there and we'll have it! Katie:: Yeah.. LETS DO IT! Lol.. don't ask... you truley don't want to know. Today at school was ok. Nothing really too exciting happend cuz it was a B day, and nothing ever happens on b days, or a days for that matter lol. I actually got to see Chris once in the hall, that was scary.
( I never get to see him EVER lol) Other than that, I'm hoping to hit the club later with Rachel. It should be pretty sweet tonight, with everyone who is going. Anyways, today was boring, so I don't really have much to write about it lol. I'll write a better entry when something exciting happens.

So, basically everyone I know has one of these, and I wasn't going to get one because I didn't think I would keep it up... But, I think they're kinda cool and I figured what the hell lol. Hmm lets see, what happend today? Well, I woke up at 4:45 like always. Nathan came over and attempted to wake me up, but my mom came home so he had to book it down stairs. (guys arn't allowed in my room lol) so I didn't actually get up till about 5:20... then I left early with Nathan to go and get Katie (Who lives about 3 miles in the wrong direction) to take to marching band pratice. (Which I do every single morning lol) This morning however, I made a little stop at Chris' house, to drop off his jersey which I've had for like a week lol. So, I got there at like 6:00 am and he opens the door in his pjs, his hair is all messy and he can barley hold his eyes open. It was a highlight of my day. (Which shows you how exciting my days are lol) So I gave him his jersey and a hug, and sent him back to bed lol. Then I went to Mc.Donalds for breakfast ( I know, sooooo healthy right? ) And when I finally got to the school, my car wouldn't turn off... again... and Nathan had to spend like 10 minutes to get it to turn off. So morning pratice was just as "exciting" as always, freezing my ass off, twirling a cold, metal pole while trying to teach 13 other people how do it correctly. (Dont get me wrong, i'm not a show off, I'm the captain, its my job lol.) So, FINALLY.. my actual school day begins. I go to 1st hour, with Fitz.. lol, so basically we sleep and listen to his stories about his cabin up north lol. Then I sat in the councelors office while I watied for them to FINALLY fix my freaking schedule.. so now I have 2 choirs in a row. (easy day, if I do say so myself) and lastly I went to French 4, where I watched a movie and tried to figure out what the hell they were saying... Then me and nathan went to the store, and I took him home. And then I got online. (which happens to be like, my little world.. I'm always on this thing lol) I talked to a few good friends, made some plans for tommrow and such.. and then I got this thing. Pretty soon I have to go do my Lit and Culture homework, blah... and then I'll probably just be bored for the rest of the day lol. Anyways, so yeah.. that was my day. Why you want to read about it, I have no idea.. lol.. but enjoy!
I love you with all my heart. And don't you forget it!
