golden gate jumpers

so saturday turned out okay. i didn't go to the run and i asked zach to go with me to get the tree, but he was grounded. i ended up going with my family and spending most of the day at church decorating for christmas, which wasn't bad, even if it was a little boring. 

um, not much else has been going on lately. im scared shitless for finals really. they're still like a month or so away but im just scared because they're a new thing and im not sure how to study for them or anything. =/

i love my wii. i've gotta say. i haven't played it much, but once i get some new games ill be playing it a little more. id like to play it a lot but so far i haven't really had the time. i know i'll start using it more soon because it's a whole lot of fun. =]

oh i also think im going to throw a new years party. idk who would come but ill ask around and see if anyone would be interested. i like parties but ive never had one so im not so sure how it goes, i hope im fun enough for people other than ashley to be interested haha.

welcome to the end of the road

so there's this kid.

and he has this youtube channel.

he's one of my favorite people in the universe, and i might be the only one who finds his videos funny because i kinda really like him a lot. ;] but i thought id let as many people know that i could because i want to share the lulz.

so here it is. watch some of the videos and they might make you chuckle. =]

words are just words, and you're just drunk

so yesterday was homecoming. aah it was great! 

the actual dance wasn't as cool as i expected it to be, tbh, but the company was great. =]

so early in the day i went to the mall with my mom for her fashion show. yeah, i know. it was for that store christopher and banks. she's kind of a regular customer and is friends with a bunch of the employees so when they announced that their store was having a little fashion show with customers as models, she was one of the first people they asked. she was really nervous for it but i think she had fun, it was a really nice little confidence boost for her. =]

after that, we picked up taylor and went back home to get ready for the dance. she took a million years curling her hair, but it was okay because she curled mine too. she ended up dropping her necklace down our sink, which was too bad. we've been trying to get it out, but we haven't yet. i think we're calling some plumber guy tomorrow, i know we'll get it out eventually. anyway, she pressured me into calling zach and keegan to ask them if they wanted to meet at pizza hut, which im so glad i did because the night would've been so boring without them. 

we met at pizza hut at 7, and zach was late like he always is. his sister came in and took pictures of us. it took us a long time to get our food and there were a couple kids there that we knew and talked to for a while. at first it was a little awkward because we were in dressy clothes and a new situation and stuff, but once we got our food and started joking around it was a lot of fun. the meal was like forty five bucks, which keegan offered to pay but i was like no way and we all payed for our own share. 

at this point it was like past eight o clock, but we didn't feel like going to the dance yet, so we went to zach's house and hung out for a while. we played pool [i lost horribly to keegan] and a little rock band before his parents kinda kicked us out. they drove us the couple hundred yards to the school in the really snazzy van they have. taylors friend ashley with the fake blue contacts was really upset that we weren't there on time, because apparently she doesn't have any other friends and was standing on the wall by herself for an hour. it took a while for the dance to actually be fun, but once we started dancing it wasn't bad. i didn't wear my glasses and a lot of people noticed. they said i looked nice, which made me really happy. =] zach's completely gorgeous brother aaron [who ended up being the homecoming prince] kinda danced really close to me a few times, which i was totally okay with haha. other than that, grinding is pretty gross, tbh. apparently thats the only way girls know how to dance. i loved watching the guys dance because they have so much fun no matter what they do, but all girls seem to want to do is whore it up with each other. i thought the decorations were pretty lame and the music could have been better, but all in all it was a fun time.

after the dance and hugs goodbye and pictures taken, me, taylor, keegan and zach walked back to zach's house. my heels were sinking into the grass so zach carried me a little. when we got there, we played some more rock band. i completely failed at the singing because i didn't know the song at all, but i completely owned at the bass and the drums. on easy. after that, some of zach's brother's senior friends came over and we went upstairs to play the wii. i did really good at bowling until zach started tickling me. but ahaha i was totally fine with it. my mom came to pick us up at like 12:30 before we finished the game and i was completely retarded and didn't realize that would've been the perfect time to hug zach. but w/e, i still had a lot of fun. taylor borrowed my mom's necklace, my sweatshirt, a clip and a couple other things she forgot to give back to me.

today i slept until like one in the afternoon, and then we went to a concert for the local symphony orchestra because one of my dads friends, who's probably the coolest guy ever, was the featured piano player. it was a very good concert, but it lasted like three hours and it was really hard not to fall asleep. after that we went to our favorite chinese restaurant with this guys family like we do on holidays and special occasions. i texted zach pretty much the whole time, which i need to stop doing because i used a whole lot of minutes that i don't really have. [good thing i bought some more with my bday money or id be in deep shit because im not supposed to text at all and i used more than half my money in a week.] me and zach talked about a lot of things and i guess we're hanging out on halloween. don't worry ashley, you can come too =]

so that was my weekend. i had a really good time. 

im going to go to sleep now so i can wake up so i can have energy tomorrow

you could love me if i knew how to lie

so today they announced student council reps. =]

i got in and i am so excited for it. 

aaron told me he rigged the election and i almost believe him.

oh shit that reminds me, i kinda stole his sharpie and i need to give it back. fifth hour is a good time.

oh yeah, speaking of people with the last name eicher, i think ill be going over to their house soon to watch spaceballs. zach pretty much flipped his shit when i told him i hadn't seen it and i think he was hinting around an invitation to his house to watch it, but he never said it outright. maybe ill ask him later in the week. thursday would be a good day if i don't have too much homework and he doesn't have soccer practice, even if he did it would be okay, i'd like to watch him.

anyway, i had a lot of fun at marching practice tonight lmao. me and keegan and zach stayed after and hung out in the choir hallway when zach was supposed to be in musical practice. jeremy and i got into a fight during the actual marching part of the rehearsal, but then he gave me the longest hug i think ive gotten in a while and everyone thought we were making out, haha. i got my uniform and everyone liked the scarf i was wearing, zach asked where my coat came from. =] UGH SPENCER had a discussion with me about how he has a crush on me and i told him that i 'had my eye on someone', lmao. toward the end aaron and taylor utzig came in the band room and there were a lot of piggy back rides and people playing the wrong instruments and when it was time to leave there were a lot of crazy goodbyes and talk of paper mache. i dont think aaron enjoys taking taylor home after musical rehearsal every day because he had an annoyed face on when we were talking about how she lives on the other side of town and he lives within walking distance of school. she has an even more crazy crush on him than i do, and she needs to learn to not be so, idk, not pushy but demanding? clingy? overbearing? with people she likes. she did that with wyatt too, and i want to slap her because it doesn't get her anywhere. they just get annoyed with her, which sucks because inside she's really a good kid, just over enthusiastic. 

um, this post wasn't really that interesting i guess.

it was mostly just me listing my thoughts. thanks for reading if you did. =] 

tomorrow is superhero day and i have no idea what to wear. ive got a batman cape but idk if i want to wear that to school...

chi-town

so yesterday i went to chicago with ashley, lauren and morgan.
i lost my first staring contest with a guy on a bus, but it was okay because he gave me a thumbs up. a lot of things at the aquarium scared me, but that was okay too because i like aquariums a lot. navy pier was a little boring and the walk we took was like ten million miles long but that was also okay because we had a whole lot of fun on the spinning chair thing and i bought some great lemonade. the water taxi we took was amazing. i didn't know how much i liked boats, but now i do. =] we laughed a lot, which made it a good day.

its hard to describe how intensely i want to live in a big city like that. well, more like i wish i was raised in a big city like that, so i knew how it all worked and stuff, you know? i mean, i don't live in a tiny town or anything, but i used to, and its not like where i live now is the biggest city on the map either. idk, i just like big-city life and i wish i had all the opportunities and different situations that a place like chicago provides.

and idk what's wrong with me, but i feel pretty angsty lately. like there's something huge missing from my life and no matter what i try to fill it with, its only temporary. i guess it's a good thing school is starting soon so i can have things to think about other than how empty everything feels. =/
