Hey, I'm glad I'm not the only one having a bad week.... I haven't been playing well in practice or really in tonights game- though we won- and its making me even more frustrated.
Also since you guys arn't super busy this fall I feel like you've been hanging out a lot and like I'm missing everything cause I'm so fricking busy I can never do anything. So you have all these inside jokes that I just have no clue about. Which sucks... I really like playing volleyball but I hate that it takes so much time out of my life that I have to stay up til o'dark 30 to finish homework and never have time with my friends.
on a side note- looking for a little boost I looked up the lyrics of that life after love thing and found out that I was wrong- which made my dad that much better.

Last week of September: CRAP week.
This has not been a very good week for anyone. It's been basically a month since we started school (WHAT?!?) so we're in full swing. Summer feels like really long ago, but not that long at all. Sophia and Hailey I completely sympathize with you. It seems like every morning this week something went wrong, I haven't been sleeping that much, I've been stressing about tests, whether or not to try out for trek (I had a moment on Monday where I was battling inside my head of whether or not to go for it, and then the list filled up and I just kind of let it go. But now I sort of regret that. But what's done is done.), and a million other little things. When I got home from school I checked my emails and found out that I did get on the tech crew for Macbeth. But I'm on build crew, not run crew. I started crying and then I got mad at myself because it wasn't that big of a deal, and I didn't even really know why I was crying- I mean I'm really disappointed...but build crew might not be that bad....eh. So I guess that just set me off. I was already on edge because I had forgotten (for probably the fifth time) that I had voice lessons and I hadn't practiced, so now I am gaining a reputation for being a flake. Which I guess I kind of am.
BLECH.
Yep, gotta love that teenage angst. It's awesome.

Children
I'm having a terrible day.
The worst part is that I don't know why even. Like, my audition went well, I'm doing pretty well in all of my classes and I have you guys and stuff but... I don't know... It feels like I'm behind on everything and I don't get anything and this year really isn't turning out the way that I was thinking it would, you know? And no my "Path Is Not Warm" or whatever. It isn't like that, but I'm just SICK of going through the motions of high school and not feeling accomplished afterward.
Angst.
Angst.
Angst.
Moving on!
My audition went well today but it was kind of bizarre... We walk in and he's like okay take off your shoes and socks and get on the stage. (Normal for Matt. He has a strange obsession with bare feet on the stage... something about connecting) Then he thrust a scrip into our hands (me and this kid called Alec -- who's in our grade even though I have NEVER seen him before -- awk) and said: "Okay, do this scene together" I did alright, he stumbled a lot but was good overall. Then he gave us a single monologue and asked us to read it out loud (finally the way I read out loud wasn't embarrassing like it is in English class). Then he's like, do you consider yourself a singer? And I'm like, sure. "Sing something"
uhhhhh.
Okay you guys. Think RIGHT NOW what would you have sung? Something cool right? Musical theatre-esque perhaps? Or maybe a popular pop song?
I sang Swing Low. REALLY? Is that REALLY the only song that could pop to my head? Ugh. I blame the fact that I was cast in ever African American role in Skyline because I was the blackest girl there.
Anyway, then he put on this music and asked us to 'respond': moving around, expanding, contracting, and interacting with each other. The music was trippy. And this guy was SO uncomfortable. I'd done this before and it was less intimidating this time because last time it was done in the dark to Enya, let by candles... oh, and with Eric Asakawa. ;) But still, I tried to think of a non freaky way to 'touch' this kid that I didn't know so I kind of did some hand touchy think and then he like grabbed me in a hug randomly and I was like
"...uh..."
That was embarrassing. But other than that it went fine.
Now I just want to go on a hike in a misty wood with my horse to calm the fuck my nerves down. I burst into tears tonight because nothing was happening the right way and I feel out of control.
Ah, hormones. They're a beautiful thing.
Picture time.

Hey Ho... LETS GO!!
So basically we've been completely failing at this whole blog thing... myself included and I was really thinking that it only tkaes about 2 minutes to do a post of any kind so we should do it more often... anyway....
I had a terribly bad morning because I got home so late from that stupid game that we played horribly in because our team is so dramatic and they (meaning brandie and Jessica) are always mad when we start to get down... Seriously no one smile the first two games and it wasn't any fun. So basically we traveled over 7 hours in total to play suckish and to eat pizza- Joy....
So anyway I didn't get to finish all my homework but was so tired I slept through my alarm to do homework this morning and actually just woke up late and had to run around and was almost late to school... THEN I couldn't find my chair and since I was already in a bad mood freaked out- though it really wasn't that big of a deal I was just really emotional from tiredness and it was just something else going wrong- so sorry that I got all pissed at you guys... I was fine I just needed one of those moments when you walk down the hall really fast on the verge of tears than duck into the bathroom to look at yourself to make sure it doesn't look like you were crying-- cause I never actually did... but things were a lot better after that
I hope you guys all had a good day. Sophia I expect to hear how your audition went and I know you guys will all do a great job teching from McBeth! Love you guys lots and for the love of Cheez its POST!!!!!

Here's come Jesus toast
Hodgepodge of stumbleuponness
Here's a random collection of wonderful things I've found on stumbleupon:

My favorite: "Veronica admits she's obsessed with pooping"
Look veeeery closely
God this is so bad.
This is flarping ridiculous.
I always feel incredibly awkward in these types of situations....

The Zombie Apocalypse
Yo girlies.
I don't get relationships like that. (referring to Hailey's experience btw) I mean, why would you ever hang out with someone only to turn around and bitch them out? I don't get it at all and it makes little to no sense. I only hang out with people that I really want to be with and when I happen to be thrown into a situation with someone I don't like then I keep my sarcastic teenage comments in my head. Or possibly on paper.
So, yeah. That's it on that subject. And yes, Hail, I'm going to the Race for the Cure this weekend... I think everyone else is too... I MIGHT actually be busy this weekend though but I'm not sure.... Intel party thing... I'm going to try to get out of it but yeah that's that.
Let's talk about the Zombie Apocalypse.
As we all know, the invasion of our undead friends is nigh and, as less of us know, we are sadly unprepared for such an attack. Here's some stuff that I was thinking about on my way back from school.
There are many factors to consider whilst planing for the Zombie invasion. You need to figure out, for example, where you would run when such an attack begins. You need the basics: Food, shelter, water, and weapons. You can't really have one without needing the other, though... I'm thinking Home Depot is a good place to go. Cause then you have weapons, and wood for shelter... but what about food and water? Sure you can fight your way out for supplies but that would take time and energy.
So then I'm like, Well Fred Meyer has a butt load of food, and water, and shelter and, like, gardening tools for weapons. Awesome. So now we're alive.
But in a crisis like this (and I'm being perfectly serious here), not necessarily in a Zombie Apocalypse, is staying alive really the only thing you should be worrying about? I mean, sure, it's your first instinct to abandon all reason and just keep afloat leaving whatever you have to behind you. But... what about our history? If somehow we do survive the crisis (whatever it is) but we leave all of the history to die, then aren't we as good as dead? We, as a human race, will forget past errors, past innovations, past massacres... and duplicate wars and holocausts and religious mistakes, and then where would we be? Isn't part of what makes us human learning from others so as not get stuck in the vicious cycle that is nature? Isn't part of what makes us human daring to go beyond simply surviving and discovering? Learning and moving forward? But really, who's going to worry about books while their leg is being chewed on by a zombie? (I mean other than me)
I spent most of my time with my dear cousin Sarah Jones (Best friend, btw. Actually you guys would adore her) talking about how we would survive the Zombie Apocalypse. Guys. Think about it.
After all. 'Tis nigh.
