SO WE GOT SECOND! Thats exactly what I was hoping for. OH and my IB oral was amazing. Thats definately going to pull my grade up.

IF MOLLY OR ANYONE THAT WAS RIDING ON THAT FLOAT SAYS ONE MORE THING TO ME I'M GOING TO FUCKING BREAK THEM. I WAS AT EVERY SINGLE FLOAT MEETING (EXCEPT ONE THAT I COULDN'T ATTEND) AND WE HAD SO MANY MORE OFFICER MEETINGS THAT YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. I WAS THE ONE THAT TALKED TO ANN ABOUT US HAVING IT AT HER HOUSE, I WAS THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED WE BRING ASHLEY'S DAD TO THE MEETINGS, AND I WAS THE ONE SCHEDULING THE MEETINGS. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT GOES ON THAT YOU GUYS CAN'T KNOW. AMBER'S IDEAS WERE EXPENSIVE SINCE WE WERE ALREADY OVER BUDGET WITH HER FIRST IDEAS. DON'T SAY WE DIDN'T USE HER IDEAS BECUASE THATS THE ONLY REASON WE HAD A STAGE UP ON THE FLATBED. (THE STAGE AND FRAMES THAT I WAS THERE TO PAINT AND PRIME BY THE WAY) AND WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START BUILDING EARLIER IF WE (MEGAN, ASHLEY, JAMES, AND MYSELF) WEREN'T CONSTANTLY FIGHTING WITH AMBER FOR PLANS FOR THE FLOAT. WE THOUGHT WE HAD A SOLID PLAN BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER BUT AMBER KEPT WANTING TO CHANGE IT. (I'M NOT BLAMING AMBER I'M JUST SAYING. AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHY I'M SAYING THAT) DID I MENTION --WE GOT SECOND PLACE FUCKERS. SO YEAH BLAME IT ON ME. I'M PROUD OF THAT, WE WEREN'T BEATING THE SENIORS ANYWAY BECAUSE THEY STARTING BUILDING A COUPLE DAYS AFTER THEY KNEW THE THEME--
AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK SAID I HAD A GENERATOR BECAUSE I DON'T. I BROUGHT AN INVERTER LIKE I SAID I WOULD. AND THE MUSIC ISSUE WAS JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING. NO ONE TOLD ME IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY.

wow. i have a lot more to say but i'm finished with that. so i'm going to go try to get in a good mood for homecoming since i have to go. i really don't want to butttt i can't explain that reason online. to many eyes read this and most of you know anyway. i'll let it out after homecoming when i have nothing to lose.

Good Job 06! You guys were amazing.

threats work

so our float looks pretty good. it's not going to win first place or anything but it's definately a contender for second. i'm really excited for the parade. i can't wait. too bad i can't acutally be on the float but oh well. so i love how they kept adding on seconds to the clock at the game last night. we definately would have went into over time but whaatever, we still looked good. and the guy cheerleaders were amazing hahaha. MONDAY NIGHT GET HYPED! soooo yeah i should be working on my IB spanish oral. funnnn.

WHAT THE FUCK

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 20:26:55 GMT

get off your lazy asses and do something for your class. you always complain that our class has no spirit and we always lose everything. GUESS WHY! BECUASE OF YOU! okay this is now a threat. if people don't start participating and there are only 3 juniors at sunday's meeting i will do everything possible to make prom this year crap. then, then you will have something to complain about. oh and i'll make homecoming crap too. but i don't think homecoming needs my help to be crap.

Sat, 17 Sep 2005 04:45:43 GMT

i haven't updated in forever

oh and guys um vote for me for homecoming prince okay? okay.

and um. juniors we have a float meeting monday.

this was pointless. i'm bored. tonight was fun though.

its that dance on your bed kind of crush

my pessimism is my cushion

Fri, 12 Aug 2005 19:03:37 GMT

I TRIED SUSHI YESTERDAY! it was my first time and yes i only tried california rolls but i'm a very picky eater so letting myself try it was huge. i liked them too. soo much so angie and sarah took me to obi sushi that night. i have a feeling i will soon get random cravings. in later news, these past couple of weeks i've been keeping busy with nationals games, money making oppurtunitys, and really really trying not to take things too seriously. i have the whole school year to do that so i definately don't need to start now. lately i've been feeling like i've been soaring through different states of emotion, not lingering in any particular one long enough to identify it. I HATE HOROMONES(sp?). but yesshhhhh. i have finished my spanish summer assignment. it took me all of 45 minutes haha. that was the easiest thing and i didn't get any incorrect and i didn't even glance at the vocabulary list. i'm crossing my fingers and hoping that all of IB spanish will be like this. (which it probably won't) oh and summer reading, gosh, even though it sounds like the easiest essay i'm ever going to write i really don't feel like doing it. i've read the book like 5 times just to be able to tell my parents i'm working on it because i seriously don't want to start the essay until i absolutely have to.
so the rest of my summer will go as follows, major dog walking this coming week (i feel like such a dork saying that... i need a real job) and then the IB connections program which should prove to be fun, i mean i'll get to see some people that i haven't seen in months. and then by that time i should have my schedule so i'll be calling everyone to find out whos in my classes and then final summer get-together type dealings and BANG we're into the school year.

OH AND BY THE WAY THE CLICK FIVE CONCERT LAST WEEKEND WAS THE BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE! did anyone else go?

ummm... okay i'm finished.

its been a while

Wed, 03 Aug 2005 01:18:22 GMT

I AM STILL ALIVE. haha.

so updating you people on my life... just got back from NY. yeah thats the biggest thing that has happened since the middle of July and I'm too lazy to type anything else.

my boss told me today... "Theatre is drodgeny, theatre is hard, theatre has pit-falls, but theatre is still magic. And you, you have something special kid. If you keep your nose clean there is no reason why you can't make it to the top." =]

so i guess its safe to say that i'm officially missing you

Fri, 01 Jul 2005 21:07:54 GMT

livejournal is pretty annoying now becuase everytime i log on i feel like i'm expected to post and posting is such a hassle. but thats besides the point

unexpectedly my summer has been amazing. i've done something eventful everyday since june 23 and thats much better than being at home watching TV all the time. and today i hung out with my dad. for those of you who don't really know the relationships between my family and I, that NEVER happens. it was fun. we ate, shopped, nothing big we only blew like 100 between the two of us but it was father-son time i guess.

um don't you hate when people talk behind your back... especially when you're RIGHT NEXT TO THEM!?!? but thats besides the point as well and it didn't even happen today I was just thinking about it.

I am going to be bombarded with vacations this month which I would usually be excited about but I'm not. on monday we're leaving for disney world, staying there and also going down to miami and bal harbour. coming back and then I was supposed to be heading down to the Outer Banks but thank heavens I cancelled that trip. i might still go... and i kind of want to still go... but nothings concrete about that. so if I don't I'll be here for a while and then leaving for NY. going to new york city and the hamptons... and brittany is going to be in New York the same time I will so I'm definately amped. thennnnn ummmmmm Cabo St. Lucas???? has Whitney called me??? no. and its going to cost about $400 per person so I'm not sure if thats still going to happen.

anyway. i need a break from typing.

edit.if you want me to make you a layout i will. =>

Mon, 21 Feb 2005 05:00:21 GMT

so... for some depressing lyrics:
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Well, I stayed inside my shell this weekend. And it wasn't even because of my rejected (ness???) but yes. So it was fun going out to dinner tonight. I've noticed that lately I've been opening myself up a little too much. And i put myself in vulnerable positions. But of course i trust the people that I let know me... but I still feel a little, I don't really know how to describe this feeling... some people are extremely verbal and could tell you in an online journal entry. I'm not that kind of person but if we saw each other in person; if you looked me in my eyes... I swear they would tell you everything. I really don't want this to come out the wrong way but I'm getting too honest for my own liking. I've told people things this year that I have never told anyone in my life. It is so relieving. So relieving.

My feet, once stilled, are dancing now. I have found my voice.

Sun, 13 Feb 2005 17:18:01 GMT

C'mon here's your chance
Don't let it slip right through your hands
Are you ready for the ride of your life?
Your dreams are riding on the wind
Just reach out and pull them in
Get ready for the ride of your life
The ride of your life

Columbia!!! Definately!

You've worn all black since you were nine and knew,
even as a nine year old living in nowheresville
that you were a New Yorker at heart. Well, you
wont make it in the big city. I'm sorry tike.
Still, have fun while it lasts, because the
rumor is, most Columbia students don't.

Lyrics from the 25 songs I've been listening to the most these past few days...
This is just therapeutic for me but I posted it here just if you were extremely bored you could try to guess which songs these were from. Not that you could figure out them all. And if you could then you're really cool and we should definately hang out sometime. But you probably won't be able to.

(not in any particular order)

1.) "I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you"
2.) "even the best fall down sometimes"
3.) "you drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here"
4.) "these wounds won't seem to heal""
5.) "and we can build this destruction"
6.) "I've lost all resistance"*
7.) "maybe we've been living with our eyes half open"
8.) "I know I tend to get insecure, doesn't mattter anymore"
9.) "and today is all you've got now"
10.)"maybe redemption has stories to tell"
11.)"you'll be my vacation away from this place"
12.)"I will not fail just so you can be comfortable Kathy"*
13.)"there's a meaning to the world"
14.)"my whole situation-made from clay to stone"
15.)"tell me all the things that I want to hear"
16.)"I am in love with you, you set me free"
17.)"never thought you'd be the one to decieve me"
18.)"...maybe I don't know where they'll take me"
19.)"shes been living in her white bread world"
20.)"I am strong when I am on your shoulders"
21.)"she was gonna be an actress, she was gonna be a star"
22.)"in darkness she is all I see"
23.)"I open myself on stitch at a time."*
24.)"automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky fresh"
25.)"look around and you will find no one's really color blind"*

*non-theatre folk exempt

Go see the aviator. Seriously. It's really good and i'll go with you, it's one of those movies that you can definately see again. My only concern was that it was wayyyy too long and there were plenty of time when I thought that it was going to be over and it would black out BUT then start again. That was pretty annoying. The people sitting behind me and Stephen were annoying too. I think I deserved it though, I came into the movie late and crossed their entire row and made them move their feet so I could get to my seat. The movie was funny enough to keep you from being to ADD to pay attention but there were alot of times when it was serious and those parts are really good and well done. I also love how they did the cameras. At some points i felt like i was gliding across a room or actually flying in the sky. Wow that sounded cheesy but if you see it you'll know what I mean. And why don't people clap at movies anymore??? Natasha I think that we should take clapping back to the movie theatres. And everyone reading this we need your help. Please clap after you see a really good movie. It would make my week.

So today I'm probably (that is if my dad lets me) hanging out with Sarah, Sasha, Natasha, Stephen?, you know... that bunch... and going to the mall. I really need to go take stuff back because my parents cannot shop for me at all.

Definately having a Target run guys. Definately.

So I've been really bored lately so I've taken up a new hobby... LEARNING! It's so much fun trust me. I'll just pick a topic and find out more about it online. So today's topic (if I have time) is Roman Myths. And linking the Roman gods to the Greek gods. Should be fun.

the Aviator:
-So you're really gonna make a movie all about tits?
-Sure. Who doesn't like tits?

merry chrismas.

Sun, 26 Dec 2004 04:07:24 GMT

football game??? i really wanted the sophomore class to have possesion of the random bear hat but... meh... oh well... they were better

so my "fondue get-together" turned out okay. thank you sooo much to stephen and sash for helping me set up, thanks natasha for helping too, and thanks jackie for bringing the fondue pot haha

so today and yesterday i'm been drowning my ears in the Gavin DeGraw and Switchfoot CDs... i just got the Fantasia Barrino cd today and i was like "who hates me???" but then i listened to it and its really good... i have like $85 worth of gift cards to target now... target anyone?

natasha, becca, craig, stephen, dj, sash, stacy, sarah, katies, the rest of the crew... i really want to see you guys, lets plan something... we don't even have to do anything we can just sit around and talk but especially before you guys are back to college, California, your lives, lets hang out. lets just do something... now come on, who wants to take the initiative to plan it?

new years... what is everyone doing? is there like a party anywhere? i want to do something like go to a party. but i would be happy if i just sat on the couch surrounded by friends in front of the tv watching the ball drop and people screaming and then going outside with sparklers... i just want to spend this new years eve with some people other than family. someone plan something... or i will, but i think that we've all seen what happens when i plan something

-- and we can build through this destruction --

laguna beach? definately addicted.

Sun, 12 Dec 2004 05:15:43 GMT

Fromthesoul's favorite character on LB is...

Morgan!
So who's yours?

You know you're addicted to LB when...

You refer to the show as LB
You know all the character's names
You have a favorite character
You've seen all the episodes
You and your friends talk about it at school
You dream of living in Laguna
You've been to the website at MTV.com
You are planning your next vacation to "Cabo"
You wish your high school was like Laguna High
You try to dress like someone in the cast
You're tired of seeing the Secret deodorant when you watch clips of episodes at the website
You secretly wish you were LO
You secretly wish you had a friend like Morgan
You now desire to learn how to surf
You are starting to like "Come Clean" by Hilary Duff
You want there to be a LB soundtrack and you'd buy it

oh man... Kristin is a junior??? wtf??? how did I not know that???
and why does Morgan remind me of Natasha???
and why is Talan fat???

'cause perfect... didn't feel so perfect
trying to fit a square into a circle was no life

something has changed within me...

Sat, 11 Dec 2004 04:54:30 GMT

I'm gonna try to start over. Call me crazy, tell me its impossible, but you still won't stop me. And I'll show you, I will. I'm going to change. I'm going to make a change for the better. I want to be a more honest person. I want to be a better friend. I want to be a better student. I want to be a better son. But guess what, (and this here? this is the dividing line) I'm going to be. I'm not a good person and I think the first change I've made is to be more open-minded and less stubborn and I think that doing that let me recognize that the way i behave is not virtuous. Call this cheesy, cliched... whatever you want... but its true. I'm changing. I want a constant group of friends... people who I don't talk about behind their backs and who don't talk about me behind my back. People I can trust... and who trust me... and I can know that what they trust in me is actually real and not fake. My most real relationship with a friend right now is based on a lie and I want to change. I'm going to change. I'm going to be a leader not a follower, but I'm going to know my place. I'm gonna study hard and get the best grades that I possibly can. I'm gonna stop being negative and bitchy and just generally a nicer person and a fun person to be around... You guys will see... Its not gonna hapen over night... To keep with the cliche train that I'm on right now "Rome wasn't built in a day." But I think that I can make it work. I know I can make it work.

If you want to help me please comment but if you have some pessimistic northern Virginia attitude that you want to show me please keep it to yourself.

i love this line:"maybe I don't know where they'll take me"
