Things not going too well at the moment. I'll be in my room doing hw, most likely that humungous history reading. Fun stuff...it's better than chilling in the center of it all...
I'll be back soon hopefully...

Yay. Hey, muchachos. Not much going here. I still have hwto do...I'm procrastinating. ha ha. Don't worry, I'll finish it.
Just came back form the orthodontist. Fun stuff. I have to wear my rubber bands all the time now. Crap, I think I swallowed one when I was eating lunch...eeeeeewwwwww. Shit.
Anyways, rant time! What a year it's been! AMA, Les Miz, Drood reheasals, CDYC trip, Area All-State, family fun stuff, school stuff, friends, good times. I even embrace the bad stuff because they have been learning experiences. Thank you to all for support and love this year and years past.
Time for resolutions:
-Get in shape
-Try to wake up on my own without rushing to get places in the morning
-Learn German
-Help out more around the house
-Try not to flip out immediately when something goes wrong
I've already started some of those. I think those sound reasonable. Coolness.
w00t. Time to fly away!

H'okay. Here's an udate: went to the dentist, went shopping, went to my cousin's b-ball game, did some more shopping, went out to lunch, saw some old familiy friends, watched movies. YAY I have not started my hw, I PROMISE I'll do some tomorrow.
Kevin...his ass...is grass if one or all of the following things have happened:
-he doesn't bother with me all break
-he doesn't contact me
-he doesn't get me a gift (even though I got him something)
-cheated on me
-doesn't love me anymore and doesn't knowhow to tell me
Yeah, something's up. I don't want him to hurt me. Wtf?! So damn confused...
But I'm not going to let one stupid boy ruin my break. Hell no. It'd just be nice to snuggle with myairy devil...haha. (He actually shaved his beard and moustache but the hair is wild as ever <3) I miss him and love him and if he feels that way (or not) I wish he would tell me one way or the other.
wooo. Ran over and out.

AAAH! I just woke up and ate some cereal, right? THERE WAS A SPIDER IN MY CEREAL!!! EEEEEK! Ew, I don't need THAT source of protein.
UGH! Gross!
WoooI woke up at 1:30 because I didn't get to bed until almost 2. Fun. I was reading and listening to Wicked. Fun Fun
WOOO I got a lot of cool gifts:
-blue i-pod mini
-Son of a WIch by Gregory Maguire
-Wicked Original Cast cd
-chocolate and lots of candy
-Santa's coal bubblegum...ha ha my dad's funny a little mean but w/e...:-)
-clothes
-jewelery and belts from Charlotte Ruse (my favorite store ever!)
-a jean jacket form the Gap..oh Aunt Karen...ha ha
-Dave Matthews DVD/CDs
yay.. I had a wonderful ristmas. It was quiet, funny, and full of fun family moments. Huzzah, a normal Christmas. I took lots of pictures, ate too much, saw me sing on tv, watched Melodies of Christmas, had political discussions with my dad and Wicky (friend of the family), and just hung out.
I think everyone had a nice Christmas. It was a little tough for people because it's the first Christmas without Grandma Helen. I don't think she would've wanted us to cry and not be happy at Christmas time. I think this Christmas was a nice time to remember her and enjoy ourselves. That's what she would have wanted.
Ok, I better get dressed and do something. Weee.
Ciao!
PS: I's time to whip that boyfriend of mine into shape...he needs help in that department.

WOOO Hey, if anyone lives in the Albany, NY area here are the times to watch me and Capital District Youth Chorale on "Music for the Holidays" on PBS:
12/23 7:30 PM
12/24 4:00 PM
12/25 1:30 PM and 6:30 PM
I just saw us on tv! We're also on with Shen and UAlbany Chamber Singers. WE sound pretty damn good. AND I HAVE A SOLO!!! I sound a little tired/nervous on the first couple of notes because it took four takes in an attempt to get this one soloist (not me..she shall remain anonnymous and if you watch you'll see who it is...) to start on pitch and stuf. Oh well. I'm a little upset that Seth's, Julia's, Laura's , and Greg's solos were not aired because those songs were already done by other groups...even though they were entirely different arrangements. Oh well, at least we sounded awesome at our concert this past Sunday.
Oh rehearsal! Fun times...we're always molesting each other according to Mr. Hughes...ha ha
Hey hey NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VACATION HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!!! THANK GOD!!!!1
...but I have a lot of hw....-.- :p damn, oh well.
WOOOOOOOOOOO I'm hyper from my Christmas presents...candy...ha ha. Yay, time to put the finishing touches on the tree.
YAY!!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!! and warm winter wishes toavoid controversy... :p yay.

YAY, I GOT INTO SUBURBAN COUNCIL!!!! Soprano 2. Mrs. B must have ranked me hihg. w00t!
TOday went well. Oh rehearsal! When will the antics and wise cracks ever cease! (never I hope...lol) LOTS OF COLLEGE PEOPLE VISITED TODAY!!!! yay old MCSers visited the fudge sale...the fudeg was absolutely to die for.
Oh I have Math hw, a Chem test to study for, and Christmas gifts to get together. I better get cracking. CIao!
21.12.05
4:58 PM
I got a letter from Potsdam, but I didn't open it yet. wooo I just got back from rehearsal and ready to do my giant APUSH reading..well not really ˆ guess since I am blogging.
Oh here's what I've been up to:
-great times in rehearsal to many inside jokes and moonings by Jo-Jo to count
-got my PSAT scores back..not good if I actually took the SAT but pretty good since I didn't study. I was freaking out and saying I was stupid (which I'm not) after I found out. Now, I know that I'm going to study and do my best.
-had my voice lesson...a little tiring...I was upset kind of because I was to tired to catch my mistakes. Perhaps the week off will help me catch my breath
-school holiday concert was last block today. FUN! ha ha We should have burst into a chorus of Elijah Rock. That would have been fabulous. It went well overall.
-lots of hw, what else is new?
COLLEGE PEOPLE ARE HOME!!!! I saw Denises, Priya, Rachael Katz, Alec WIlson, Jenny Kreis, Pat Keller, and Jesse Conti. ZOMG, I miss everyone so much. YAY Jesse's going to visit Chorale tomorrow. :-)
Ok I better get cracking on hw. Ciao!
19.12.05
7:09 PM
yeah...so here's what's been happening:
Saturday: CDYC went well, tiring but alright, cookie day was alright...Michael was upset most of the time but it turns out he has an ear infection...we did our tree looks lovely...there's a couple more things to put on but we shall do that later
Sunday: woke up at noon, was at the church for CDYC concert at one, cried because I realized that people who's voices are mediocre and have not improved since I've know them for like, almost six years...oh well. My solo kicked ass.Seth, Julia, and Alli (Julia's siter) rock my socks. I was a pain in Conformation...I mean I was questioning the church...and making some very true rebuttels to some arguments about money being an object in the church...right of rollment was fun? ALl I did was sign my name in a book and got blessed and then continued with regular mass. w00t? Desperate Housewives was a repeat because President Bush decided to speak about his bad decisions..yeah that's an understatement...ah well I shan't start any political controversy right now.
Today: same old...except I found out that I have to take four years of Math to be "preparred" for college. Um, no. We need three years of Math and I'm not a Math person so I think colleges will know that. I don't know. I hope I can do my best even if I have to hire a tutor if that's the case. I may take English 12 H/AP next year along with Shakespeare to fill up that semester after Health. Cool. Emma Hebert made me climb the vertical playpen. It's basically three separate tires, each decreasing in size and increase in height, attached to a beam and then you have to climb through a tire and sit there while you wait for your partner to get up. (woah, long sentence) Emma seriously helped me a lot. Erin, thank oyu for not dropping me. Yay for belaying. Also, thanks to everyone for encouragement. I can do it! So, I had a good rehearsal...not bad. I had a breakdown during Warrior and had to leaqve for my sanity. I just sometimes feel like I suck at life and will never be good enough. I don't want to be mediocre. I want to be amazing. I realize now I cannot be perfect but I wish I could be as best I can. Fun. I'm sorry. I have to stop getting upset. Thank you Mom for being there. I need to learn. I'm learning but I still flipped out and had a breakdown. WEll true this weekend and last week was absolutely crazy but I can't take it out on everyone. I have to just talk it out and stuff. Crap. I messed up. I hope it blows over. Everyone has a mental breakdown once in a while, right? Alright, so the good news is I'm realizing this and that's good. I feel better.
Woooo. So I need to shower now before I start my homework.
16.12.05
3:43 PM
GUESS WHO HAS AN A- IN APUSH?!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
w00t. The tests were ok. Not bad. y Chem lab was in on time.Today we had schol, damnit that pisses me off. Trechereous driving..yucky slushly icey snow messes up everything. So I felt like I just wandering aimlessly from one thing to the next. REally tired but now I just want to eat and finish decorating our tree.
Oh man! ILBB strikes again! WE want to sing this awesome spiritual, "Elijah Rock" because that's one the best pieces we've ever done and we could ll learn it quickly. SO ILBB (our guy's section secret society-I LOve BIg Boobs for life...it's a legacy.) they put the piece in our folders, posted it on the board along with a note saying "A suggestion Mrs. B" Really funny and then during back-rubs westarted singing it. Shecame in the room and was like totally pissed off. She was so pissed that she didn't yell (well, vocalists aren't supposed to yell, but that's besides the point), she scowled and asked "Who went through the files?" It was still funny.
Jimbo and Dom are the funniest kids I know. Dom's laugh is fabulous and Jimbo is just crazy.wooooooo for Friday after-school bus rides. lol
12:39 AM
Please, let there be a snow day tomorrow.
I have not studied for my APUSH test or my Music Theory test. Crap.
It's understandable since I had a huge concert yesterday. CDYC got to sing with Judy Collins at Troy. It went well and we sounded great.. WE were not miked as high as Judy, yeah it is her show but I wish that your backup stuff could have been a little louder. She's not a diva and her voice is prety damn good (very pure) even though she's entering menopause. Just saying she has a nice, large range for that age, or any age for that matter is pretty damn good. Oh man, Seth and Julia and Liz and the rest of the gang...I love you all! lol <3
woooooooooooooooooo I'm so freaking tired. Only blogging because I'm just passing time as I wwait for my face mask to dry so I can wash it off and get to bed.
MY hair's short. It's like a cute bob but not really. It's adorible, at least that's what I've been told. I dunno, I wish it was a little longer...but my face would be weighed down and that would look skanky.
]
Time to go to bed...please. I need sleep badly...I was falling asleep while waiting to go at the concert...standing up. Wow, I'm SO cool.
G'night.

Shower/THoreau time...oh I am just bursting with joy...

TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS! yay shit we need to finish our tree tomorrow...
12.12.05
5:32 PM
...how lovely are your branches. Good caroling song. I should definitely go caroling. lol
YAY. The tree is starting to look pretty. Almost all the lights are up. Unfortunately, we lost two strands of lights. ?WE'll finish our tree later this week.
Christmas shopping with Kelsey, Molli and Kayden...priceless. I hit the jackpot. lol! Oh the arcade, spending al of my parents money, buying undies...good times, good times.
Speaking of undies, guess what I bought? Yup, I finally got the courage to buy a thong. It's cute but not that comfy. Duh. It's a little small but the cuteness makes up for the smallness. lol wooot
Religion...it's tedious. I have faith but I began to wonder if I should continue in my journey as a Catholic. I thought about different religious paths, but none realy fitted my life style.I guess I decided to get confirmed. Perhaps it's the class the turns me off somewhat. Ah well, it'll get better hopefully.
THank goodness, my Jackson paper was pushed back to WEdnesday. I'll do some more of it tonight. yay.
Fun day. Rehearsal was good except that our dialect coach, who is supposed to teach us Briritsh-English, speaks with a New Zeland accent...not quite helpful but at least it gives us an idea. HARRY POTTER MARATHON AT FINKLE'S HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! lol My Mom suggested that, since my main character is a maid, that I speak like the maid Rosie from the t.v. show Upstairs Downstairs. Sort of course English like YOrkshire but not quite, at least that's how I imagine it.
It's all pretty good right now.
10.12.05
1:38 PM
yeah...he's like bragging to my mom behind her back about his "hot date" to his winter dance. My mom just went about her business at practice so that's good. He is the most insecure, biggest jerk...well I know there's always someone worse. Still, right now he takes the prize. Seriously. He plays these games and ex[ects me to join in. Iwon't even though blogging about it is sort of playing his game. So I guess I"ll stop.
Anyways...Judy Collins concert. AAAH! SHe's sort of lost her prime but oh well we'll still sound wonderffl. If not, at least I shall sound wonderful.
oooh we get to put up our tree tonight! But first I have to start my Jackson paper. Then later we're going out to get our tree. YAY! Our house is Christmass-ey right now, minus the tree part since we're getting it today. Now if I can only get the giftt shopping done. Hopefully, that'll be tomorrow. I have one question though:
What am I going to get Kevin?
That is by far a tougher question than "What is the meaning of life?" or "What is the capital of Assyria?" or "What is the velocity f swallow tail sparrow?" or however that question goes...
Ok enough of the Monty Python references. Time to eat. FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
TWO WEEKS AND ONE DAY UNTILCHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

Oh thank GOd. 'Tis a blessing because I"m sick and can't talk. :p argh. Oh well. NO SCHOOL! so that makes me happy.
Now I have an extra day to rewind and a jump on some weekend hw, thank God. w00t! Now if I could only talk and stop sneezing, I"d be good to go.
Be careful on the roads out there, it's a little slippery if you're in the Northeast like me.
<3
Ciao. I want some eggnog...

3:37 PM
Quote of the day: "Laura, close your legs!" ~Colin. Oh oyu should have been there six mod today I had trouble standing up. Amusing. rofl! hardy-har-har
Anyways, here's what happened yesterday. Not much. The usual until eight mod anyway. Kelsey and Jim had a row. Not good. I believe things are starting to get back to normally, slowly but surely. Orchestra is going to sound like garbage on Don Giovanni. GAH! It's sad but I shal seriously try hard to play beyond my best to make the piece better, even if by a small margin. Well, I also heard that we are having auditions for seating rearrangements and that grade affects our quarter grade. WTF? WE've never had seating auditions nor has our seat affected our grades before. (Perhaps it's Mooney's idea) I have to tell you voice lessons with Mr. Clement are pricelss. So much fun you have no idea. I love H.M.S Pinnafore. He's having me sing Josephine's lament about giving up her life of luxury for this sailor. Fabulous, I seriously love that song.
TODAY!!! Normal also. Spanish is better now, which is good. ZOMG, I got a really good grade on that APUSH quiz that I thought I failed. Plus, I got full cvredit on the extra credit assignment. w00t I think I'll be fine in that class, as long as I do well on the Jackson paper and the test. YAY I had a lot of free time today. (drop in Chem, yay.) It was nice to relax for a little longer beofre doing my homework during my lunch mod. Yeah, and I did well on the Theory re-test. Chorale was the same concert; concert preparation according to plans. It went well. I think we;'ll be prety good even if we don't remember our words to "Jesus Child". Oh well. That song annoys me anyway.
Woo. So. I'm tired and can't wat for the weekend like everyone else. No rehearsal today or tomorrow because of concerts. God. I need that time to chill and do homework.
5.12.05
6:32 PM
so my Dad...is being a butt. w/e yeah..um..we need cell phones...but w/e it'll all work out.
SO about date with Kevin...like one of the best ever even though he didn't call until later and I had a lovely talk with my ex. Um, yeah he's jerk too. w/e Well Kevin's car is fixed but his parents wated the car to get realined and shio-shape again or something (I don't know car terminology) SO he had to wait for his mom to come back from his brother's choir stuff to give Kevin her car. It's all good. I asked Kevin to a lovely dinner at my house. Before dinner, we drove around for a little bit and talked and stuff. He's so sweet and loveable, even though he can be a little absent minded. Hey, I still think he's a teddy bear.
i.e:
me: Are you going to stare at me all the time?
him: Yeah, so?
me: Why?
him: Because I love you.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I am so lucky to have him, vice versa. :-)
I can't stop thinking about him...weird? No not realy. I just think he's an amazing guy. It's too bad he had to leave early because of my conformation class. It was ok. Imean, some of the "group parent/candidate" activities were alittle weird but i'll alright. I'm in it for the spiritual experience. I need to be more spiritual. It'll seriously help me achieve inner peace. Honestly, I think we all need to do that. Perhaps I am maturing; I don't get angry often or depressed unless it's that time of the month or something really really bugs me. I have to continue to control my emotions. I'm not out of control but sometimes I get really upset and then I spiral into an even worse mood. Yeah...not good.
Ok that's enough of that lovely rant. HAMMER TIME. I mean shower time. xD
3:50 PM
HEY STEVE!!! I'm at warrior layout since I am not needed at rehearsal. Yay? Yeah, I'm totally happy. Good times...but the Spanish and APUSH quizzes were blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah times infinity plus one...really freakin' hard, man. lol
Yeah, I had a lovely date with Kevin. He is such a sweetie and I love him. I''ll tell y'all about it in the next post hopefully. (Oh how southern..)
Back to work. Ciao!
