Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted... well, actually I can. I've been so incredibly busy with college lately that I've hardly had time to update my domain much less my livejournal. Still, I just wanted to post something because even though I may not post daily entries, I find myself constantly checking in on various communities and I just wanted to show I'm still alive. I've even managed to find a little time to do some blending and have entered a few challenges at Black and White Roses. My first entry there won Blend of the Month which I was ecstatic about, so I haven't forgotten to do everything yet, lol. Anyway, I guess this entry has served its purpose... Hopefully it won't be over a year until my next entry.

First there was Patrick's devastating and way too early departure and now David. My first and second favorites gone... What is this? American Idol seriously hates me, I tell you. Fine. Whatever. But if Taylor or Katharine leave next week at least you'll know why. Sorry, guys :(

Ack! I haven't written anything here in forever! Shame on me! Not like nothing's been happening, believe me TONS have been happening. I just never get around to writing it... but I told myself I would make more of an effort to try. And to encourage myself, I've made a new layout featuring Tim Roth (my current obsession) as Mr. Orange from Reservoir Dogs (my other current obsession).

Today was a pretty awesome day, the latter half of it at least. It's late so I'll make it brief... skipping school, because well, school's always the same and boring. Alright, so after school, I discovered I had gotten Meantime in the mail and was really excited to watch it (Tim Roth and Gary Oldman, eek!) so I started it right away. While I was watching it, I realized that V for Vendetta, A Scanner Darkly, Thank You For Smoking, Don't Come Knocking, and Ice Age 2 will all open next month (I was at imdb.com), which got my totally psyched. Then Lauren calls me up and asks if I want to come over. I say duh, of course, and when we get there we start to try to burn a DVD of Reservoir Dogs. It doesn't work the first time, so we try again which takes forever. While we wait, we sung karaoke (or I at least tried to since I'm still sick) and played DDR. Before long, it was time for dinner so got Chinese take-out (my first time doing so). While we were at the Chinese food place there was this really creepy guy who was trying to give away year supplies of pizzas or something. I don't know what that was about. Anyway, when we got back to Lauren's house, American Idol was on and the Reservoir Dog DVD was done. We decided to watch both switching in between commercials, but in the end, ended up watching just Reservoir Dogs. It was so much fun, I can basically quote half the movie now, just gotta work on the timing (LOL, do I have no life?). We were analyzing just about every scene and trying to notice all the little details of the scenes too. Well, it started to get late so I had to leave after a few more games of DDR.

... and then I came home, typed up the shooting script for TV production, did Economics homework which took me nearly two hours, wrote a myspace blog entry (which was a total waste of time since my computer froze and I lost all of it while I was previewing it... I absolutely hate it when that happens), and then I wrote this... and now I got to go to bed. Yikes, almost 3AM. Okay, well, goodnight then!

Chuck Norris Facts. Oh my goodness, these are freakin' hilarious!!

( LOL! )

Came back from my first time at the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and I have to say that I had a blast! I was a little disappointed Kristy couldn't come with me (because I feel so much crazier when she's with me), but she had plans with her family so we'll have to come up with something different for the two of us to do. Anyway, I got dressed up (not really, basically just black cami, denim skort, and heels... oh and fake hair and red lipstick!), went to the show (absolutely hilarious, albeit stupid), had a V drawn on my forehead (Hey, I'm promoting "V for Vendetta"!), laughed my head off (Davvid and Matty in lingerie, enough said), got confetti and rice all over me (and now all over my room...), had my Coke knocked over by a piece of toast (that can cost me a dollar!), lost one of my earrings (I was going to return them too), took pictures (with my ghetto camera), and came back home around 2 (my mom would have a heart attack if she knew). Overall, a great evening! I had tons of fun and want to do it again! Maybe I can get Kristy to come next time! Or not.

Yay! MIHS has Spirit Week just like all my other schools! I'm excited, I love to get dressed up! Remember last year when I dressed up as Cleopatra on Historical Character day? Lol, that was great! Well, I've planned ahead and this is what I've decided to do each day this week:

Favorite Team Day: Kinda lame for me, since I'm not a sports person, but for my dad, I'm going to wear one of his KU Jayhawk shirts. I know he's got a bunch of them, the hard part will be finding one that somewhat fits me.

Twin Day: Robyn and I are going to be twins! Yay, I'm glad I finally got a twin! I was afraid I was going to have to dress up a Barbie and wear the same outfit as it and carry it around telling everyone its my twin... actually that idea sounds kinda cool. I may just do that also...

Costume Day: My favorite day! I originally wanted to dress up as Elle Driver from Kill Bill Vol 2 with the eyepatch, sword, and everything, but then ran into the problem of my hair color and the fact that I don't have an eyepatch (oddly enough, I actually have a samurai sword though). Anyway, after thinking it through, Melissa and I came up with the perfect idea! FAITH from BtVS! How cool would that be? LOL. Still planning the outfit, but we got a good start.

Decades Day: The drama department is all going to wear 80's clothes, which leaves me in quite a dilemma here... I have no idea what they wore in the 80's! Sad I know. My dad said half of the stuff my mom has in her closets are from the 80's though so maybe it won't be so bad... *crosses fingers*

Black-and-Gold Day: Pretty self-explanatory! Looks like I'm wearing my class t-shirt (if I get it) and black pants.

P.S. Tomorrow's my Sweet Sixteenth Birthday!!

Today has definitely been my worst day at school this year. I've said why many times so I don't really feel like writing it. Still, I want to look at the bright side. I mean, this is a huge improvement from last year. Under the same circumstances at CCS, I probably would've either locked myself in a bathroom and hurt myself or eat something containing Red-40 so I could get really sick and be forced to go home. Fortunately, I didn't resort to that today. Maybe its because it seemed like some of these people, although they haven't known me for very long, were so concerned and caring I couldn't bring myself to hurt myself... Man, I really don't deserve some of these people for friends. They are just too awesome. I wish I could tell them how much I appreciate them.

I'm feeling a lot better now though, the fact that my mom was SO understanding and didn't yell at me took off SO much stress. I was prepared to go home and be yelled at for Pre-Calc and for being depressed and everything, but after I told her to lay off because I had a bad day (she yelled a little in the beginning) she lowered her voice and tried to make me feel better! My goodness, I think she might be changing!

When I got home, I talked to Joy and she made me feel a little better. Then I watched Joey and The Apprentice with Melissa and Daddy. I'm recording Ghost Whisperer right now... I'm waiting for Melissa to get off the phone so I can talk to Kristy.

In the mean time, I took a little quiz thing, and its kinda freaky how much of this is true since it was all based on just three questions...

Your Personality Is

Idealist (NF) You are a passionate, caring, and unique person. You are good at expressing yourself and sharing your ideals. You are the most compassionate of all types and connect with others easily. Your heart tends to rule you. You can't make decisions without considering feelings. You seek out other empathetic people to befriend. Truth and authenticity matters in your friendships. In love, you give everything you have to relationships. You fall in love easily. At work, you crave personal expression and meaning in your career. With others, you communicate well. You can spend all night talking with someone. As far as your looks go, you've likely taken the time to develop your own personal style. On weekends, you like to be with others. Charity work is also a favorite pastime of yours.

I've decided no more bad stuff for today. I'm putting school behind me and am looking forward to the weekend. =) Hopefully, on Monday I won't be so depressed like I have been for the latter half of this week.

P.S: Daddy came back from Hawaii yesterday!! He brought me back this rockin' squishy penguin from his convention thingy! I don't get how a penguin relates to Hawaii... but whatever, rock on SRA! Whatever that is.
