This entry shall not be funny, sorry guys.

Dominique! I love you! I have been missing you terribly lately, you are one of my very favorite people to talk to, and it's been ages since our last chat. I love that you read this, and so I just wanted to leave a message for you, reminding you that I love you, I miss you, and that you are a fabulous person!

I hope you still plan on coming to U of M in a couple of years, and I really hope you could visit sometime in the near future-- my house is yours!

Anyway, I hope everything is fantastic in Switzerland, I hope to hear all about your life sometime soon.

Love, Jill!!

It has been like two weeks since the following events occured, but I have not yet written about them. Before you get all angry, however, take note that I have a valid excuse. You see, I am in training to become a sloth. The Sloth hand book specifically says you may only type two letters per minute, otherwise you're far too fast to be a real sloth. In fact, if you type 3-8 letters a minute, you are closer to a lemur. Any higher than that and you've reached full primate status. But alas, I need to write, for many glorious things have happened, and so, for a few brief moments, I shall be shunned by my sloth clan as I type a whopping 20-some words per minute. And all for you!

let us begin with thursday the 22nd of September. On thursday I did my council in Philosophy, which was pretty cool. It wasn't very amazing, or life changing or anything, but I feel like I can talk to all the people in my class now, which was my goal after all. Nothing much to report really, just thought I'd mention it. I have been making new friends there though, which is fabulous. My newest friends are Julie Ribbits and Kyle Egerer and Christie Zelnik!

Thursday night was one of the grandest evenings of my life. I went to a BECK concert!! Even better, I went with BRANDON and ROB and GRACE. Even better, we drove through a HURRICANE to get to detroit, and I love crazy storms! Even better, my mom and brother got scared in the rain and DIDN'T COME (they drove separately)!! Beck was amazing, I got a spiffy shirt, and everything was so much fun I could have died right then and not cared. ooh sometime ask me about the opening act, it was hilarious, but I'm too lazy to type it.

On to Saturday, for friday was nothing special. Saturday was Brandon's homecoming, so I got all dressed up and clean and such. The Brandon came to get me, and we both looked b-e-a-utiful, and we traipsed off to dinner. Dinner was at Real Seafood Co., which (aside from the extremely large group of adults next to us, who we're rather loud and drunk) was scrumptious and fun.

After dinner was Robbie and Zack's comedy troupe show, and may I point out that Brandon and I looked ULTRA pretty for such a low key occasion. The troupies did a fabulous job, as usual, and I had a blast, and laughed my head off. Robert was brilliant, of COURSE, and I was so completely impressed with Zack, well, I just feel so bad for everyone who didn't get to see him up there that night.

After the show, we all stood in the parking lot for like 45 minutes just chatting, and then Brandon and I decided to blow off homecoming and go to a party at Donald's house, which was quite fun!

So lets see, I think that was all the cool stuff (or at least, all the cool stuff I can write about, *I wink at you*) that happened until last sunday night, which was October 2nd. On sunday night, I went to a WHITE STRIPES concert. It was excellently fun, mainly because I adore the White Stripes and because I got to take Brandon along at the last second. Yay for Rob Shermerhorn (I'm serious, that is, in fact, his last name), who bailed on us and voided his rights to the extra ticket! The show was great, I didn't get a shirt but maybe I'll get one online sometime soon. My whole weekend was fabulous, basically.

Then monday happened, and it was bland. Then tuesday happend, and it too was bland. Tomorrow is wednesday, and it should not be bland at all! Yay for Wednesdays!

Now I am off to plead for forgiveness from my sloth brethren, so I hope you enjoyed this. I'm going to have to comb all of their fur for a week to be let back in to such a rather exclusive club!

-Love Jillian

PS, I have come to the conclusion that I LOVE all of my friends times infinity!
PPS, not that she'll be reading this, but Julie gave me a random hug today, and that completely made my day! Thanks Julie!!
PPPS, when I was little, I always thought it was PSS instead of PPS!

Bitch! Give me my country!

So I have been in trouble lately because I don't write in this enough. Its a tricky science though, blog writing, because no one wants to know about the boringness that happens, and I must also keep it.. well, PG-13 rated. Alice says I must write though, and what Alice says is the law. So she helped me make a list of magnificent things that happened last saturday, and I will turn that simple list into many words of laughter, just for you, my dear reader, whomever you may be.

Saturday began with a phone call to the amazing Alice herself, and a plan to go out to dinner and see a movie. So we did. After some debate, we decided to walk (I know.. gross) from her house to Pot Belly's, because of fun football game traffic.

Now let me preface this story with the fact that I was in extreme pain the night before.. like I wanted to take a butter knife and remove my own organs, until I found the one causing me pain and crushed it. It turned out to be my stomach.. gross. You see, I had eaten pizza every day that week. Minimum of three (3) peices a day.. again, gross. (by the way, I have had pizza everyday this week so far too... I should be shot.)

I was feeling okay until after dinner, but then my stomach remembered that it no longer likes food. Or beverages. both of which I had. So I was a hurtin'. pretty damn bad. I like short sentences.

Alice and I were planning on seeing The Brothers Grimm at like 9:30... which I didn't really want to see anyway, although that doesn't matter. But she and I ate dinner at like 6. So we had time to kill. lotsa lotsa time. We decided to walk around downtown for a while... which is very bad for your stomach. So I changed this plan to say we decided to sit on a bench for a while.

We found these superfun benches in the Diag, that were circular with a hole in the middle... like a giant flat ring you sit on, if that helps. So Alice and I layed on the benches for like 45 minutes, while my stomach situation did NOT improve.

We decided to walk to Hannah's house, to see what she was up to that night. By now, my feet were dying as well as my tummy, because I did not plan on all this walking. So naturally, I wore nonsensical walking shoes. At this point, I decided shoes in general were overrated anyway, I mean, only 10% of Ann Arbor even wears them, right?

So for the next hour or so, I did all of my walking barefoot. Alice was not too fond of this plan... she swore I would get foot herpes. So far I haven't noticed any signs of that, but I'll keep you updated.

At hannah's, there were many boys, but we did not stay to play. We headed back to Alice's, to pick up my car and head to the movies. Once in the car, I put happy batman band-aids on my feet, and they were much better. Batman saves the day again!

We made it to the movies, and purchased our tickets, and we were waiting around while getting stared at by a scary old guy, when Peter calls. He says "hello, whats up?" fast forward- he says "I can't come to the movie, can you come downtown instead?" "sure!" I say.

But we had already bought our tickets, and I even made the ticket man punch me a frequent movie go-er card. So we got back in line with hopes of returning our tickets, but this time a line with a girl, so that we could intimidate her with our vast beauty, and great... height?

She was intimidated, and we returned our tickets promptly. Peter later pointed out to me that I had just gotten two free punches on my movie go-er card! kickass! you could get whole free drinks this way I bet!

So then we blew that popsicle stand (or is it just pop, I can never remember.. popsicle is more fun though), and traipsed downtown. We met Peter in Starbucks, my favorite establishment, being as I LOVE coffee and all (note the sarcasm), but it was fun.

Fortunately at this point my stomach illness had subsided, and, determined to keep it that way, I did not allow myself food or beverage for the rest of the night. Peter was unhappy with me for my pizza consumption rates of the past week.. he gave me a lecture that went somewhat like this "It's not like you feed olive oil to your dog, so eat healthy Jill!". Amazing. This makes sense, because I eat straight-up olive oil all the time...

So while Peter and Alice sipped their little coffee-esque drinks and bonded over their stories of volunteer work at a library, I wrote the list of things to write about in my blog. Peter loaned me a pen and paper, but scolded me for clicking the pen a bunch.. he said this would make the pen rust (it was not made of iron.. by the way). Alice and I laughed at him for a bit.

We also laughed when Peter thought your toes were called "toe fingers". HA! He claims your big toe is called a "toe" and the other four are your "toe fingers". hahhahah. Silly europeans! Alice and I thought of a great band name though.. "Peter and the Toe Fingers"!

Then Peter got into an arguement with Alice and I about duck cruelty. In california, they used to force-feed ducks (by sticking a tube down their throats and pumping food inside) to turn their livers into what Peter fondly referred to "the best tasting butter in the world"... to which my only thought was "LIVER IS NOT BUTTER. EVER." but don't worry, no more ducks will be force fed in the state of California. their Governator outlawed it. have I ever mentioned I love arnold schwartzennager?

So then we left starbucks, for it was Alice's curfew time. good job getting grounded Alice. On the way back to the car, we ran into Kate, Casey and Brock (and possibly others, but I don't remember). Kate looked quite sexy, I must say, which apparently Brock had some hand in. So we talked to them for a bit, and I got humped by Brock, but all in good fun.

Then Alice was late, so we had to go, but that was fine, because next came the absolute gloriousness. And it was absolutely glorious!

Yay!!

Homeslices?

2005-08-23T22:44:00.000-07:00

This morning was registration time at Pioneer, a very exciting time of year that makes me want to die. I spent eighteen hours in lines. Lines that did not end in something fun, like a rollercoaster, or some type of food. Thats really the gist of things, I won't say anymore about that, or I'd have to cry.

After lots of yuckiness, I headed over to Mr. Brandon's, and met his momma. Not as bad as I thought really, she kicked me once, but didn't bite me at all! Then Brandon and I watched Butterfly Effect, after some struggle with VCRs. Unfortunately, I had to go to Orientation Guide training, oh boy!!

It was boring, so I won't write about it, except to say that the instructors speeches were highly amusing. They wanted us to "De-inhibit" our freshmen, whatever that means.. I couldn't hear anything that was said during one of the schpeels on drugging the freshmen, except for a few well placed words and phrases such as "tamborine" and "I am most like a piano". The meeting was good for a chuckle at least.

Then off to the fun festivities- Alice time! After the icky meeting, Alice came over and we went to rent a movie (I owe the movie rental place around thirty dollars by the way) but nothing peaked our intrest so we traipsed off to Target instead.

For quite a while, we were bored, and then we found some chairs. I decided I wanted to sit down, mostly because Alice didn't think we'd fit. You see, the chairs were some crazy new-age dorm room peices of crap on a shelf in one of the main aisles of Target. My kind of chair..

I fit, she fit, and we sat in them on display for the other shoppers for over an hour. For almost the whole time we sat there, a woman and her son were looking at bathroom rugs. The woman was apparently listening to our entire conversation, because she told us we should be having that kind of conversation in a bar.. some people are weird.

The best part of sitting in chairs at Target was by far the three college girls shopping in the same area of our sitting. They started to get separated, and so one of them called out to the other two "Homeslices- wait, I need to get something over here." And she was dead serious. Alice and I died twice.

But wait! It gets better.. In like fifteen minutes or so they got separated again, and the one who was a few aisles over from Alice and I called out, "Guys? Where are you?" to which I quietly responded, "Homeslices?". Alice burst out laughing, and apparently the girl had heard me, and thought Alice and I were the other two sorority chickas. She started to approach the laughing. When she realized it was us and not her friends, she turned and shrunk back down the aisle, which ensued much more laughing. Homeslices? what the hell were they thinking?

Finally Alice and I decided to go fetch some treats and return to my home, but on the way, Alice decided to torture me in the most brutal and gruesome way imaginable. This next paragraph may not be suitable for children.

Alice asks me, "What is that one line from Friends, where Joey and Phoebe say one phrase over and over until they decided it sounds like something else?" of course, I know exactly what she's talking about, but I have no idea what they were saying.

So for the next five minutes, I am in extreme agony trying to remember the line. Alice and I have a conversation that goes like this--

Me: I think the second word was "feet".
Alice: Maybe "chicken feet"?
Me: But what was the origional phrase then?
Alice: was it "should've we"?
Me: Oh! It was "Shoe", not "Feet"
Alice: so "shouldn't you" instead?
Me: but "shouldn't" doesn't sound like "chicken"..
Alice: well maybe it wasn't "chicken", but I think it was some type of bird.
Me: OH! It was "wood"!!
Alice: "wood"?
Me: Yeah! the origional phrase was "Would she?"
Me: sot he other part was "WOOD CHEESE"!!!
Alice: YES!!
*celebration*

For some reason, the checkout cashier decided to completely ignore our entire conversation. I was mighty proud I thought of Wood Cheese though. I know this makes no sense to you normal people, but it was a highlight of my night, so I thought I'd tell you all about it. Yay!

Now that Alice has watched me write this whole story, she has to leave, and I be's sad. She wants me to give a "shout out" to Dominique, so there you go Dominique, that was the shout out. enjoy!

I am bored, I will go eat cookies!

titles are hard!

2005-08-21T09:24:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was Saturday, also known widely throughout Lake Forest as 'Garage Sale Day'... oooh. I offically hate having a garage sale. WAY too much work. I had to wake up at 7. I hate then number 7 FOREVER.

Enough of the grouchiness, because it's all over now. The afternoon part of Saturday was better, Brandon came over for a while! Then Brandon went home. Thats how these things usually work out children. I got clean for "Saturday night of awesomeness" which, belive it or not, I named myself, right here, right now! I'm just that good.

Brandon, Rob, Alex and I went to go see Red Eye, which was quite good. It wasn't too scary, except for the part where Alex screamed, which scared the shit out of me... hahaHA I spilled popcorn all over Brandon's lap.. that was some mighty funny business.

Then we all went and stood next to our cars for like half an hour while Rob fake threw up on us. We all parked in a happy little row, because I told them all about my awesome area of parking and, knowing I owuld be there, they came! Once the fake puking got dull, we decided to scavenge for food, so we hopped in my car and headed out.

Because we were with Rob, we naturally headed to the Coney Island with a pound and a half burger (or something like that).. but it was closed. So we tried the Coney Island by Target. Also closed.. what the hell, it was only like 10pm on a saturday night! So, ignoring Rob's complaints about eating in a place with menu's longer than a page, we decide to got to Fridays! Yay! It is still open!!

So we got the food, and bugged the waiters, and embarassed Alex, and all was good and happy. And then the greatest moment of my life occured. This will take some leading up to, just wait for it--

Alex and I go to the bathroom, traveling in a pack, as we females always do. We were in there a couple of minutes, just discussing things, and in walks ROB. INTO THE GIRLS BATHROOM. WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN THE STALLS. At first Alex and I were in disbelief. Our jaws were resting on the floor, and then I just cracked up. It was the greatest thing anyone has ever done in my life.

Rob came in to ask what, well really who, we were discussing. Specifically if we were discussing Brandon. We were. But we lied.. we told Roberto we were talking about Alex's Friend 'Paul'... I'm not even sure if she knows anyone named Paul! It was spectacular!

After sitting in the restraunt for like 45 miutes after we paid, we realized we were still there and left. I got gas and I took them back to their cars, which is a part of the story I know you couldn't have lived without!!

Ok, now I'm off to clean the house and work on college essays, which will BLOW. But later, I get to fly and then go play with Katharine, both of which will be awesome! blah for now, yay for later!

And remeber everyone-- Red and Blue make GREEN!! hahaha

Amazing

2005-08-18T21:32:00.000-07:00

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was amazing.

Everything, actually, is amazing.

Most importantly, Brandon is amazing.

The Great Adventures of Jillian

2005-08-13T12:07:00.000-07:00

So, I am in Tennessee! It used to be really fun when I was a kid, but sadly playing house in the creek and doing silly arts and crafts have lost their alure. If I wasn't quite so hyper right now, I could probably enjoy it more, but I have a bundle full of energy and no one to expend it upon. I've had fun though...

probably the best thing I've done was race Go-Karts, which is my new favorite thing ever. I have to find Go-Karts in Ann Arbor or I will die.

I also went to the pool, played putt putt, won TWO stuffed animals from a claw machine, played at the arcade, and painted a green and blue chicken with purple speckles (not a real chicken, a plaster of paris chicken. Say NO to animal cruelty).

so that stuff was all neat, but didn't take long enough. Most of my time is now spent online chatting with Brandon, which easially makes up for lack of excitement. thanks miss Brandon!

I miss my friends! I miss going out past 8pm. but alright, enough whining, I am quite happy lately, which is great fun, so get over it Jill. I'll be home on Wednesday.

yay!

Whoo! in case you missed the title, this has been a crazy few days...

This is going to be a short entry, because I want to go take a shower!!

On, some day, called Saturday, I went to Rob's birthday party, which doubled-- no wait tripled!!-- as Brandon and Pat's birthdays. It was pretty fun, because I met some pretty neat people, which is seriously one of the best ways to spend a Saturday-- making new friends!

On another day, lets call it Monday, I FLEW A PLANE!! I am dead serious. It was amazing!! I'm going to get my pilots license this year, and so I got to do a test flight. I got to taxi the plane, take-off, and do circles once we got into the air. It was a blast, you all should do it right away! If you're actually interested, lemme know and I'll tell you how (to do the test flight is about $50, and totally worth it).

I'm trying to put up some pictures of me in the plane-- a Cessna, I believe-- but my computer is PMSing today so we'll see how that goes.

Today I did my senior pictures, which I think worked out ok. Mine won't be nearly as cool as my new buddy Ians will be, I'm jealous!

I'm bored with writing this, but I'd rather write than pack... I'm going to Tennessee for a week tomorrow at 1 (pm, thank god) and for like a whole 13 hrs or so I will be derived of a computer! I could just cry, no chatting with friends, it's terrible. You can all call me!! yay!

anyway... bye!

--Jillian!

someone teach me how to use my computer...

well... It's blog time again...

2005-07-26T01:28:00.000-07:00

I suppose I don't have much to say tonight, but I figure I'll update anyways to keep all of my avid readers off my back for a day or two more....

Tonight my jewelry class was cancled because my jewelry teach lost the key to the soldering cabinet. He claims someone else lost it, but like anyone with half a brain would believe that story.

I went home to find none of my family, just my two dogs barking viciously through my legs at Sparky. I don't believe I've introduced you all to sparky. Sparky is a synonym for THE DEVIL. He, or possibly she (I'm unsure) is my next door neighbors miniature jack russle terrier. Thats right. MINIATURE. if you thought the origional was a pain in the ass breed of dog, which, granted, it is, well lets just say you truly don't understand the meaning of pain in the ass until it's been miniaturized.
This dog, or "beast ripped from the jaws of hell", as we will now call her/him, has no sense of privacy. It thinks its welcome in my home whenever it pleases. It most certainly is NOT welcome, at anytime, even if it is running from a tornado, or some type of predator with large teeth.
So of course, it decides it wants to come inside. Picture it-- I see the dog running towards me as fast as its little legs can travel, the theme song from jaws begins. I race, arms outstreatched, toward the garage door closing button, and ram into it repeatedly with my thumb. Just as the door nears the cement of the driveway, the dog slides beneath, alerting the garage door motion sensor to an intruder. The sirens go off, lights flash-- somewhere in the distance, a woman screams, children are crying and men are gathering weapons.
I shove my own ferociously excited dogs back into the house and shoo "beast ripped from the gates of hell" out of my garage. I try a few more times to close it before finally keeping the dog at bay long enought to let the ridiculously slow moving door close itself.
At long last I make it inside, and have to spend the next few minutes getting my own hyperexcited dogs to shut up. Funny, it's easier to get the one named 'Trouble' to be quiet than the one named 'Izzy'.

So, being the supercool person that I am, I played my new Nancy Drew computer game for the next couple of hours, then headed off to pick up Alice.

We ambled about downtown for a while, while I complained about having the hoe-down song from American Outlaws stuck in my head. Damn it! there it goes again...

I wish a horrible, horrible death upon everyone who can't hear this song right now over and over in their head. Everyone who can is already experiencing this horrible horrible death. Sorry guys.

Then Alice and I called up Robert, who dashed our hopes of free bowling, which apparently isn't allowed after ten. He redeamed himself with $1 bowling though, so all was right again in the world.

Rob and I bowled three games-- I lost, I kicked his ass to smitherines, I lost. Alice however, played two games. Horribly. Sorry Al, but its so very true.

Rob and I tried to teach Alice how to bowl, but failed. Actually mostly rob tried to teach her, while I laughed until my sides hurt as he used "castration with your bear hands" as an example.

I got tired of losing during the last game, and so Alice and I hid one of robs shoes. It's bright yellowness blended perfectly with the walls in the bowling alley. Rob didn't think it was very funny, but I sure did.

Then we were GOING to watch a movie at my pueblo... which maybe means house in spanish or maybe is a word I invented... but my mom said no, so I drove home in the rain with zero friends instead of two. I was sad.

And now I will go play Nancy Drew. lalaladida!

whoHarry Potter!!!

2005-07-17T23:12:00.000-07:00

Ahhh shit I'm exhausted. This has been one crazy ass weekend.

It all begins with the fact that I had to go up to my cabin over the HP release weekend, which made me sad, because no one within 100 miles of my cabin even knows how to read, therefore, no cool release parties. I didn't get to dress up with my friends so I don't have a cool HP related costume... maybe I'll make one tomorrow!! A cool vintage-esq one, oooh now I'm all inspired!! It was all quite sad, but not as sad as what happens next.

As I mentioned, I went up north to my cabin. But of course, It cannot be that simple. I forgot my flipping contacts AND my flipping glasses. So for the whole weekend, I am blind. BLIND! That really sucked, cause call me crazy, but I like being able to see things even when they're more than five feet away from my head. I'm getting Lasic surgery.

But it was all ok, because I can hold my Harry Potter book six inches from my face and everything is magically visible again. I got my book on Saturday morning, at WALMART, for $15 suckers... I bet everyone-- especially ALICE-- paid $17. (alice is here and she felt she needed to be mentioned.)

Then My cousins all hated me for the next day whilst I read HP, because I wouldn't play with them. To get revenge, they decided to make reading harry potter tantamount to flying a plane solo around the world, without enought gas, or any knowledge of how to fly a plane, and a giant gorilla attacking you. And also one of your wings just fell off.

ATTENTION!! sTOP READING RIGHT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED READING HARRY POTTER!!!

I'M QUITE SERIOUS MISTER!!

TOO LATE FOR YOU I GUESS...
I finally finished the book at 3:30am, And cried for two hours. I was going to attempt to resist the urge to reveal anything, but I can't. I am absolutely SICK over Dumbledore. I am SO excited about Ron and Hermione, Tonks and Lupin, and Harry and Ginny, who will, I am determined, get back together in the last book. I'm really worried about Hogwarts closing though, and about Harry not going back even if it reopens.

I was so very very glad to see Alice today, I was dying for someone to talk to. Frankly Alice, I am horrified that I, the one who never cries, cried and you, the one who always cries (at everything might I add), didn't cry!! Well that was an interesting sentence.

But I shall bid you all adieu, and I truely hope I didn't ruin your HP experience. And if I did, well it was your own damn fault.

I love you!! Jillian Kay Orr!!!

whoosh!!

2005-07-12T22:39:00.000-07:00

Why, hello! It's been a very long time! I am a horrible, lame person. Anyways... lots of stuff happened that I'm not going to write about; it would take far to long.

Tonight, I went to see BATMAN BEGINS, and it pretty much rocked my world, as have so many movies lately. I now have a full list of movies I have to buy the day they come out... wanna hear?!
-Mr. and Mrs. Smith
-The Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy
- I know there was one more but I can't remember it. and no, it wasn't batman. I'm not THAT dumb!

Right now, it is actually like three weeks after I saw batman begins. That is how completely lame I am. I wrote/am writing this entry in two parts, thanks to the dandy 'save as draft' feature that enables me to go eat food instead of finish what I'm writing, and ultimately fly off to europe for ten days and completely forget I was writing anything at all. that was one long sentence.

Breaking news bulletin!! (I definitely had to look up how to spell bulletin, completely oblivious to the fact that I have spell checking ability as I write this.) I hate ants. I hate ants because out of the corner of my eye they look like fast, fearless spiders. and I hate spiders more than anything else in the world.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming!! I'm pretty damn bored right now, I though about having people over but I was too tired, so now I'm writing, trying to fill the void that is my life.

Ahh just kidding, I'm having a relatively good time presently, although I'm really wanting to extend my social circles a bit, being as I hang out with like, 4 or 5 people... This makes me sad. And now, I'm just rambling, so lets get back to some life stories!!

I went to London and Paris for ten days like a week ago, that was pretty sweet. If you're reading this, I probably got you a present. That's how few people read this. And if I didn't get you a present, well, what did you bring me? Huh? That's right, NOTHING.

Anyways, trip highlights... I saw cool stuff, I bought a pair of jeans-- that's right, JEANS!! If you don't know how awesome this is you don't know me at all-- I bought other stuff too, mostly presents and shoes... I bought four pairs of shoes in one store!! In London I saw Abby from ER!! yay... This makes me... Almost a celebrity? I also hung out with Peter, whose doing an intern ship in Paris, and Pierce, who has a summer home there, and it was awesome to see both of them. I got myself accidentally in the middle of a Louis Vitton photo shoot, which was super cool. If you want to see my pictures, please ask, I love showing them off.

Then I came home from Paris and London, I had the best plane ride back, by the way, I'll tell you all about it later if you ask.

I saw three movies in two days, It was pretty sweet. First Fantastic Four, which was pretty good, but with a pretty lame plot I thought. (yay a rhyme!) then I saw War of the Worlds, which scared me shitless, and I liked over all, until the end, which was LAME. But I like dthe mans little speech. Then I saw Bewitched, which I can't make up my mind about. It was a pretty lame movie plot and wise and such, but shitfuckdamn Will Ferril was hilarious. Miss Kidman wasn't too bad herself, but it was fucking weird to see them kiss.

And right now, Its about to thunderstorm, I hear the clouds grumbling!! I am so elated; I LOVE LOVE LOVE the rain, especially when its noisy!! Maybe I'll ditch my efforts here and go read my book about Vampires!! OH! Everyone needs to immediately read a book called "skinny dip" by Carl Hiaasen... Its the funniest fucking thing I've ever read!! If you really do read it, Tool is my new favorite person ever, you shall see. (the mutants are bonding!!) please, really, read it. Carl needs some fans.

I also stumbled across a new band, called the "ass___ ____ ____" I forgot the other words in the title. Who are pretty cool. They're some guys just out of highschool with only 4 songs as far as I know, and two of them were helping my dad out at his last art fair, which makes them cooler. I'll try to get back to ya'll with the read of that name. Also they're form Cleveland Ohio. In case you were wondering.

I'm bored of writing this, but just a few things left to say--

A couple notes aside to a couple of my buddies!

I'm not exactly sure what I think about today. Mostly I guess it was pretty good. Basically, I woke up and went to school, which was pretty cool for two reasons.

1. I wore my new earings that are made of peacock feathers... they rock!
2. In sports med. we learned to do splints and slings, and I was slightly giddy... i like that class way too much. The whole bandaging people up thing is fun for me. I'll try and put up picks of me in a sling some other day... it's pretty sweet. I get to get my own safety kit soon, which i am extremely stoked for!! I even get a Mouth-to Mouth Reseciataion Barrier that goes onto my keys (how amazing is that?!?) in case i have to give rescue breathing to someone gross... it'll be awesome!! I want to save your life!!

Then... nothing happened for a while, I came home and got an SAT prep book I should be working on right now... seriously though I am completley in love with it. I want to marry it. I read it for maybe an hour and learned a shitload. I am, however, having a really hard time figuring out what a good score will be on the new SAT, it's out of 2400 now. I did a practice one and scored a 1900, without the essay, so im not sure if thats good or not. Someone more knowledgable please help!!

I'm freaking out slightly because my test is Saturday... today is Wednesday (wed-nes-day).... thats 2 days left to learn... crap!!

So the rest of tonight will be dandy I suppose... leave me a message... i check about every half hour... im very bored!!

adios amigos!!

Ford, I think I'm a sofa...

WOW!! Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was AMAZING! Everyone should drop what they're doing right now and go see it, unless they haven't read the book. I don't think it would be all that good if you haven't read it... anyways...

Today (friday) blew... I went to Katharines for a bit after school and chatted which was fun, and then I basically died. Then I went home and did SAT prep, which can bite me right on the ass! Then I took a bath, which would be uninteresting, but I'm a tard and cut my self EIGHT MILLION TIMES trying to shave really fast with a crappy razor. I did not, by any means, exaggerate. Eight million cuts on my legs means blood.. which got on my favorite new jeans. Fuck you bloody legs!! Fuck you!!

Tonight, however, rocked! After I bandaged my legs, I flew out to my car and headed off to the movies. I (again, a tard) forgot my moblie phone, which made everthing sad for like two whole minutes. I was meeting Rob at the theater, and because he was bored, he went andbought our tickets ahead of time. I did not know this. I then proceeded to the theater and bought my own ticket. Then he came, and everything was bad, for two minutes. Then we sold the ticket to some other guy for $o.75 off the value price. It all worked out.

The movie was awesome, I could not have been more happy. I will be quoting it for years. I hope people who haven't read the book don't ruin the quoteing fun for those of us who have (like what happened to Napolian Dynamite, not that was a book, but whatever). It's a privledged circle.

Then Rob and I drove to every chinese place on the face of earth. Finally, they all were closed so we went downtown, to go eat in a supposedly weird place tat has breakfast 24 hours a day, but on the way, we saw Dinersty, which is this kickass little chinese place open until midnight, which is purple. I really didn't wat any of my food, but what can you do?

Then my mom made me come home, and now here I am, very bored, with many missed calls and sad legs.

So long and thanks for all the fish!!

tralala

Long time no... write!

2005-04-28T17:07:00.000-07:00

I haven't exactly forgotten to write... I'm just intensely lazy!! Really not much has occurred over the past few days, umm lets see--

weekend-nothing cool, it fucking snowed!

monday- uhhh... I'm sure some stuff happened but I don't remember.

tuesday- tuesday was cool... went to school, blah... then ate a couple of pizza's with some buddies, had an exciting car chase. Then I played Monopoly! Rob and Alex came over... I got creamed like a can of corn, so that sucked... Robbie seemed upset... Alex won (she is not a gracious winner, let me tell you), but really he won like four times, and let us keep playing because we're girls, yay!

wednesday- does anyone else say that out loud when they write it? wed-nes-day! Anyways.. no school! I wasted my life basically! Woke up at 11 or so, ate half a pancake (someone had the "bright" idea to put blueberries in it) and a brownie... felt sick... Then did a little more nothing for a while. Then I traipsed off and picked up my pal Alice for a bit, we got gelato!! I had blood orange AND mango passionfruit, all in one cup, which rocked. We went to Borders for a bit, then I took her home and she went to Barnes and Noble, freek! I was dumb and said I'd be home at three... stop agreeing to shit!! I didn't do my english project at all, but I have yet to talk to anyone who did, so whatever.

So now you're all caught up, aren't you glad I shared? I cannot wait to go see Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy tommorow!! yay! hoping my plans don't fall through though... none of my other friends have read it, dumbasses! For sure check out the website-- it rocks. I achieved the intelligence level of a dolphin, hell yeah!! I don't really have anything else to write about... bye!!

Oooh! I looove Beck! thanks rob!

Yay! Food!

2005-04-20T15:27:00.000-07:00

Today was fabulous! It all began with a most wonderful drive to school, blasting the Hives and enjoying the rain. I am just a wee bit strange in that rain is my favorite type of weather. I arrived at school to pick up my friend Alice, and we drove downtown to American Spoon to snag (the term I have chosen to avoid saying 'pick up' twice in one sentence-- we did not steal it by any means!) the gelato for Multicultural Food Fair Day. Alice and I cannot wait another second until we are the Latin Club presidents and get to be in charge of everything-- sorry Stacey!

When we returned to school, we called up some boys and had them meet us at my car to carry the coolers full of gelato for us. I love boys! Even better than boys, however, are boys who willingly carry stuff for you wherever you tell them! They're probably second best only to boys you don't know who hold open the door for you-- now those are the best boys. For a short while after, they were at my very beck and call, and I was lapping it up. Once we set up the booth though, they kind-of vanished into thin air. There was talk about getting "napkins", but who knows.

My tummy cried for a while, so I ate a cupcake. Then I ate another cupcake. Two cupcakes for 50 cents! Feeling fufilled, Alice and I scampered off to Mr. Bernardin's room to get tape to put up the gelato advertisement signs (One for three dollars, two for 6.50... I love it!). I hadn't seen Mr. B in ages, and it's always fun to go to his classroom.

Then, we sat for a while. It was either that or math class... hmmm tough choice. Soon a plethora of useless people arrived to help, and we sent them far, far away, to the Latin room. They made more signs... goody!

Lunch was absolutely insane! I could not have had more fun, ever. I got to be in charge of the money, the best job by far, and it was very hectic. We didn't quite sell out, despite my best efforts. I am quite the sales person if I do say so myself, and I do, because I have no modesty! Anyone who made eye contact with me was forced by my awesome magical powers to buy gelato. I got quite a chuckle out of the people who, upon discovering it costs three dollars turned around and walked away without another glance. I did not, hoever, find amusing the people who wouldn't buy gelato, even the guy who kept yelling "gelato" everytime I yelled it. I wanted to kick him.

After lunch I had two more gelatos (I had already had one), to complete my shiny lunch o' health-- two cupcakes, three gelatos! I felt sick, but it was worth it.

I got three entirely new boys to help me carry my coolers back out to my car, which, by the way, was parked int he front row! Hell yeah!

Mr. Finch (latin teacher/coolest authority type person ever) asked me to count the money, and we made $575.50!! Yay for us! I skipped back to catch the last fifteen minutes or so of my fourth hour, but instead, we had a severe weather drill! Kickass! It was very looong, which was great because no school, but my butt really hurt. I sat next to "sunglasses" and friend (who smelled awesome) though, so all the butt pain was made up for.

Then I had to go to real classes, which blew, so I'll spare you.

After school Katharine and I went to Sabarro's (sp?) in the mall and bitched about various things. We placed wagers on how long it would be until I got in a fist fight, I bet a week and Katharine bet tommorow! Yikes!

Anyway, my Phalanges (sports medicine for fingers) are tired so I'll leave it at that! Tingit!!

spamtastic!

2005-04-19T15:26:00.000-07:00

I am supposed to be writing three and a half more pages for my oh so lovely English class, but instead, I have created a blog. My font, which has the honor of being selected by moi, is called trebuchet! I found that highly amusing... I have been learning all sorts of good new words lately, such as Hendecasyllabics! I don't want to explain what it means... it's too hard. Just have fun saying it, ok? Don't worry, it will never, under any circumstances, relate to what you are actually discussing.

So mostly, today was great! All days in my life generally are, because I am queen of everything, and drink too much sugar! Actually, it just so happens that any modesty I ever possessed has packed it's bags and gallivanted off to a far away land, leaving me to spend the day complimenting myself! Nobody else would, what's a girl to do? Tralala...

I didn't really do much today worth mentioning, except put three coolers in the back of my bug! This is very exciting, and the reasons why are threefold! (threefold! ha!)
1. I have recently learned that my back seat folds completely into oblivion and I have been dying to put something back there. I discovered this miracle called stow-away seating whilst it was meap weak (sorry to make you all cringe, but it's vital to the story), during one of the 28-minute first hour periods when I sat, all alone, in my car. There is a button on the back seat which I could never figure out the purpose of (I like to believe it shot missiles out at the car behind me). So I read the cars manual (gasp!), and was instructed on how to fold down the seat. sucess!
2. Tomorrow is Multicultural Food Fair day, and as vice president of Latin club (that's right, I am quite the dork) I will be manning the Latin Club's booth. We will be selling Gelato, and if you don't know what that is you should crawl under a rock and die. Or go to American Spoon and try some. I am picking up the seven tubs of gelato tomorrow during 2nd hour, and so I have coolers to store it in living in my trunk.
3. Ummm, gelato rocks! I don't really have a third reason, except threefold is so much cooler than twofold!

And now, dear readers (well probably just reader, and probably just my imaginary friend Damien (a story for another day)), I must actually go do work. But then I'm going shopping! yay for me! Queen of your life!

A little jack handey to brighten your day before I go, however! "If you're robbing a bank and your pants fall down, I think it's okay to laugh and to let the hostages laugh too, because, come on, life is funny."
