Prom, Relay and Word Nerd!

Prom was last Saturday, as you already know from Paula and Elisabeth's blogs. I got ready at Rachel Yang's house and then we went to Peace Luthern to take pictures due to the fact that it was too windy outside. Erin, Rachel and I joined another group for dinner at Green Mill and then were off to the party. The music was amazing, as were Paula's dance moves! Afterwards I went to Rachel Yang's with Erin and Rachel to sleep over. I had a ton of fun! On Monday I found out I won the Confessions of a High School Word Nerd Contest. I still can't believe it.

After taking two AP tests this week ended with Relay For Life. I had sooooo much fun, but right now I'm really really tired. Erin O'Leary painted the dark mark on my arm and we played big base, frisbee, Wii and basketball. Jessica and I also tied Hannah up in a blanket and tied it to one of those climbing ropes. I fell asleep only for like a half an hour, but I still missed the ice cream. Oh well. It was an awesome time!

GUITAR!!!!

YAY! I got my guitar today. It's gorgeous!!! Now I just need to learn how to play it.

V-ball

The Viennese Ball was on friday and saturday and it was AWSOME! Every year the Harp Ensemble plays at the Viennese Ball. The tortes were wonderfully yummy and Krystal and I waltzed and pokaed until our feet hurt. Some of the seniors from last year came to visit, but I didn't get to talk to any of them. Actually I really only liked one of the seniors that came back (Lucy) but that's alright. Also we weren't really as prepared as we have been in past years. For example, on one song, some people (cough Sarah...who happens to be an old senior) forgot to repeat for the third time, but the other people didn't and tried to figure out what was happening and so they, or should I say we, basically stopped playing and the song ended right there. Wonderful. At least the audience still clapped. All in all though it was a lot of fun.

FISH!

After my last batch of fish died, I decided I would start anew. So today I went out and bought my fish and I named him Carlisle.

ITALIAN DINNER!

Saturday I woke up bright and early to take the ACT. Needless to say, I wasn't bright and chipper after that was over. Actually I was really really really tired. But of course we had the Italian Dinner so I couldn't take a nap silly.

I got to Memorial (I acidentally typed my name instead of Memorial and didn't notice it until I reread this!) and ate with Elisabeth Paula Rachel and Noah. Then the white group went out and practice and the real stuff began. It wasn't too bad. We ran late on the 5:30 seating, but I really needed to go to the bathroom so I left right after it even though I also had to play for the 6:30 seating. When I got back they had already started O Mio Babino and of course that is the song that I am featured in so yeah that wasn't good. The rest of the songs were fine though except for the fact that I was starting to get extremely bored uncomfortable from sitting there and tired. One of the raffle prizes was a guitar. I want a guitar really bad, so I told my parents to put tickets in. At the end of the 6:30 seating they had the drawing. I didn't win, but I found out that Elisabeth, Rachel and Paula had also gotten tickets for me. Thanks so much even though I didn't win!!!! Finally it was over and that was when the real fun began!

We took down everything. Elisabeth Paula Noah Olivia and I all made a chain of lattice up to the attice and made train noises all the way up. Elisabeth and I had a laughing attack while carrying a pillar with Noah too. But once everything was away (for the most part) we took the cart and Noah and Elisbeth pulled us around on it. YAY! Then we ate ice cream and sat around talking. I then left and went home for much needed rest.

We missed you Rabecca. I was seriously thinking about how it was sad you weren't there during that excrusiatingly long 2nd seating. I wish you had been there. I think that next year we need to make sure that you can come. We could meet you half way and bring you up on a thursday, go to school with us (if you want) help us set up then on sunday we could drive back down. Also what dates in the semi near future are good for a visit?

Last One Down the Drain

Severus died yesterday. Fred died today. It seems that the epidemic spread and wiped out the colony. May they be happy at the other end of the toilet.

Another Final Salute

Sadly, Albus, my fish, died today. He had been living with me for two months before his departure down the toilet. He died while in the bowl with a skinny neck, so my mom had to stick her hand in and scoop him out. She then proceeded to plop him in the toilet, then Laura, Alexa (my sister's friend), my mom and I all watched as he left us. In my defence, it was not my idea to all stand around and sadly watch his lifeless body being dragged down to the depths of the toilet. However I did have tears in my eyes. I know I'm special, I almost cry for fish.

Good-Bye Albus.

A Final Salute

I found out that Heath Ledger died today. He was a wonderful actor, actually one of my top three favorite. He could be funny, serious, romantic and was to be scary in The Dark Knight (next Batman movie). I would just like to say that I for one will never forget him and the quality work that he presented us.

YAY JONAS BROTHERS

Erin, Rachel and I made a music video for the jonas brothers song SOS. You can watch the awsomeness by clicking on the second video or the last one (bloopers) in the row of videos on the side. hope you like them! :P

Ok so there is a problem with the jonas sister's thing coming up, if you haven't seen it, go to youtube.com and type in "J sisters" sort by "date added" and it should be on there.

FISHES!

So here are my fish, Fred (orange), Severus (black) and Albus (white with orange head).

Winggardium Leviosa!

For Halloween this year, I was Ron Weasley. Erin was Harry and Rachel was Hermione. We made shirts, so it was a causal costume, not a hardcore one. They were awsome though! I got candy for being dressed up...which is always a plus. Brantner didn't dress up, but she also gave me candy so I was happy. After school, Erin and Rachel came over and we went trick-or-treating and watched 1408. Then because we were scared, we watched some sing-alongs. Let's just say we are wonderful singers. We had school today, so they then had to leave and I went to sleep. I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!

personally, i really liked elisabeth and paula's costumes...they were so good! paula looked like elisabeth and elisabeth like paula....great idea :P

Homecoming!

So i was really upset that the parade was cancelled, but i got over it. The game was a lot of fun. I sat, talked and laughed as our team failed miserably, but thats ok, i dont really care if we win anyways. Then on Saturday, i had to work in the morning, but went over to Rachel Yang's house later to get ready. Rachel Wrobel did my hair...she's actually really good at it. Then the boys arrived and we took pictures. Of course, because the boys got there at like 6, we had lots of time to kill, so what did we do? WE JUMPED ON THE TRAMPOLINE! YIPEE! It was fun...needless to say in dresses. Then we went to the dance...Erin and I stopped for some ice cream. We danced the night away. The music wasn't that good, but they played Grace Kelly, so i was happy. Afterwards, Erin and I went to Sammie H's house to sleepover. In all everyone I saw was gorgeous and I had a lot of fun!

Ummmmmm

I havent bloged for a while, so here I am. I got a homecoming dress. I havent got Severous. I'm not sick. I like cookies. I like brownies too. Ice cream is good. School is boring. Except French, Math, Anatomy and English. My dogs are sleeping. One is on my bed and the other on the floor. My room is red, yellow and orange. I should do my Anatomy homework and every one should vote on my poll thing. :P

nighty night
don't let the bed bugs bite

Finding Nemo

So a few weeks ago I decided I wanted a fish. I wanted one of those goldfish in those classic round bowls with a shipwreck in it, perticularly. Today, since it was the last day of summer, was a perfect day to start my quest. Erin came over and we made cookies, then we decided the stores would be open (she came over really early), so we began.
Tropic Waters was our first stop. There we found a bowl. It wasn't completely round, but it would do. We also found a shipwreck and the perfect goldfish. Of course, I decided I wanted to look at my options, so we went to another store.
At Petco we found nothing but a poor fish selection, plastic crapy bowls and absolutely no shipwrecks. I did buy the bottom rock things there though...they're green.
So back to Tropic Waters. We bought the bowl and shipwreck and went home.
Back at home, we filled up the bowl and waited for the water to become room temp. In the meantime we swam and walk the dogs. Then I had a haircut appointment, so Erin left. (I like it by the way) After that my family and I ate dinner, then went to Shopko then, of course, back to Tropic Waters.
I knew exactly which fish I wanted, so I went up and told one of the hott guys working there that I wanted a fish. I directed him to the exact one, got some food and bought it. (But of course my mom and Laura had to look at all the birds and such).
Finally I had my fish. My quest was complete. I already had a name picked out for him. Can you geuss what it was? I'll give you a hint: When Erin gets her fish she's going to name it George.
Do you know what it is now. Well if you don't, it's Fred, in memory of one of my favorite redhaired twins who is sadly deceased.

Oh and I saw a black fish with popping eyes and my mom wanted me to get one of them and name it Severus, but there isn't enough room in my bowl. :(

JOB!

Cabin Fun

Friday and Saturday I spent at a family friend's cabin with my sister, Ellie. Mo (a family friend), Ellie and I drove up there together and had some very strange conversations. Once up there we went sailing and then went tubing. The three of us went together. Ellie fell of the most and Mo stayed on the most. I then went tubing with Mo's brother Mark. He is not very good at staying on his side and once he kicked me in the face. That hurt but the whole thing was a lot of fun. We then played cards and ate diner. Which was very good I might add. We roasted marshmellows and laid on the hamock for two hours laughing...needless to say that was fun. Mo fell off of the hamock and landed on the pole. We went inside then and watched Mission Impossible and Moulin Rouge and went to sleep. The next day it was raining, so Mo and I played the "war of 52 card pick-up" for like an hour...it was great you should try it sometime. Then we watched Singing in the Rain and took a nap. By that time, Ellie and I had to go home, so we did.

Edward, Jacob and Coloring Books!

Yesterday my sister, Carrie, Bianca, Erin and I all drove to Woodbury to get our Eclipse/Twilight series books signed. We stopped in Hudson and went to an antique store, where I got a really old recipe book with old recipes in it! Yeah I know, I'm special. Then we ate at Chipolets (or however you spell it) and went to the Woodbury Borders. Erin and I sat in that Borders for 3 hours, but of course, being the geniuses that we are, we brought my HP coloring book and crayons. We got through a lot of pictures needless to say. We had made shirts that said "If you were Edward would you date yourself" on the front and "I know I would" and "BITE ME" on the back. All of us stood in line after the question-answer part and got our books signed! It was a lot of fun.

FINALLY!

So with my french student here all of July I was unable to read the HP book. Well she left yesterday :( and of course, I started the book. Today I finished it and LOVED IT! I was sad to see the series end, but glad it ended well. Long live Harry Potter(and friends)!
