don't forget to hold back your thoughts and live like robots

BUT the latest news is:

- I'm kinda excited for school....dreadful, i know

- the golden compass is an excellent book

I have more to say!

Woah this has gotta be a record. Two posts in a row!! Well, it's either boredom or i have a really interesing life...I'm going with the first one. So anyway, I'd like to inform you all of a new crush:





ta-da! the lovely emile hirsch. This is not to say that he is just eye candy. He is an incredible actor (all the more reason for the crush) For those of you that have seen Into the Wild (if not, I strongly suggest you do) you've seen his talent as an actor. He was also in Speed Racer and a few other movies. Apparently he was in Sabrina the Teenage witch?? Don't remember that...and he had an article in the November issue of Teen Vogue. Now you know.

Summer!

I have decided to blog, even though it is just one post, purely for the spontaneity of it. I hate to say it, but facebook has been dominating my internet life. Among many other excuses as to why I haven't blogged in a few centuries. But summer is progressing along quite well. Ugh that sounds depressing. Ok. How about....I've been having a really great summer AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOR A LONGG LONGG TIME. Just so that it doesn't seem like its ending. Or even getting close. The fourth of july was amazing, the 5th of july was even better, as it ususally is. I went swimming today, played tennis, ate an omlette and some ice cream, watched TV, read a little bit, took a walk with michelle, swam with michelle and have been in my bathing suit all day: one of the perks of warm weather. The next few weeks? hmmm what's in store: i have to return my library books on wednesday...how about something more interesting...i may be going hiking tomorrow with Jenn and Kerianne, hopefully I'll be having a sleepover with erin, suzanne, kerianne and danielle, i most defenitely will be crying my eyes out when Kerianne leaves on Satuday =( and lets see....in the more distant future, I have about 10 books left to read on my, well, my list of books to read. I have three sets of books going: 1) books i have to read for school 2) books i have to read for battle of the books and 3) books i am reading for my own pleasure. I'm sure it is becoming increasingly obvious that I have been doing a lot of reading. Ok, back to the distant future. July 17th is Mariel's birthday (car time!!!! no more bus yesssssss) July 23rd is national MCR day, for which i will be celebrating quite intensely, I have the legendary battle of the books on August 13th, which we WILL WIN (dream team: mariel, kerianne and I) and thennnn (drumroll please) the JONAS BROTHERS CONCERT (august 14th- save the date) which i will be attending with Ms. Keay-Golyakovsky and my dear, darling sister. We will be making GIANT posters which range from "Nick J is off the chain" to "kevin, will you go to senior prom with me?" that one is all mariel. Expect to see us moshing our way through screaming flocks of ten year old girls and/or bottling demi lovato. In between those events, I will be partying (lol), reading until my eyes fall out of my head, writing a couple of essays, swimming and volunteering. call anytime! <3

how time flies!

I seriously forgot I even had a blog! I guess that comes with the territory of being an obsessive facebooker. just as a little catch-up (ketchup ahhahaha) my life is going pretty well. The weather is beautiful again, just in time for my two fieldtrips, i have my dress and shoes for formal, all i need is earrings, the speaking part of my french final is out of the way (9/10) and im pretty darn excited about my field trips, formal and cedar point!!!!!!!!!!!!

one day at a time

I would like to think that you guys are still reading my posts. Even though you're not commenting. But I can't really say anything cause I never comment anyone elses. But I really have nothing exciting to say. I'm basically counting down the days until spring break. I have a bad case of spring fever and I'm trying not to let it affect my work, but after a certain point, theres really nothing much I can do.

I presented my french project today. It went really well. Most people's took about 5 minutes...ours took about 35. But Merritt loved it. and I love Shane. Because his video was amazing. and I wish he would put it on YouTube. But anyway, we now started on our research project for english. I need an "influential" person to research (could the subject be less specific?) does anyone have any ideas? please tell me if you do

I am really looking forward to not going to school Thursday. Even though Thursday night will consist of me studying for the 3 tests I have on Friday....exciting.

I spent about 20 minutes laying outside in the sun earlier, and its amazing what a little Vitamin D does for the soul. It was so peaceful. Only me, my thoughts, and a gorgeous little bird. and some cats =) Then I watched the papal visit, which was pretty amazing. They were broadcasting live from the military airport.

So now I have some global homework, I have to practice for NYSSMA, take a shower, think of a birthday present for Courtney, and watch american idol. and throw some dinner in there somewhere.

p.s. cool side note: the title of this blog was from a song i was listening to, but it worked out to fit the content of the post.

I'm all out of titles. I'm also all out of insight, so don't expect any from me. Instead, I will try to recount my recent activities as best as I can. I went out to eat and then to Cinderella last night wth Becky, Elly and Cheyenne. We had a goooood time. The show was pretty good! The energy was low, and I couldn't help but compare everything to DiLeo's way of doing it, now that I have the experience. But I enjoyed it. There were defenitely people who stole the show.... =)

This morning, I woke up to the most gorgeous day since last spring. I just had to check the temperature....and it was 75 degrees!!! It actually got too hot to stay outside for a long time. I loved it. There are flowers in front of my house that are completely in bloom. Gorgeous, full, sweet-smelling blooms. I mainly worked on my french project all day, of course taking breaks to revel in the weather. For the rest of the night I will be reading, eating dinner and watching Sweeney Todd. Oh, and trying to contain my excitement for Florida =)))

"Some weather we're having..."

Though is is often used as an obvious conversation starter when grappling with what to say, in this case, I feel it perfectly acceptable to speak about the weather. In the "heat" of the day, it must have gotten up to about 70, because it's now about 65. As we all observed, it was rainy and muggy for the good part of the day. But as of a little while ago, all the moisture has burned off, leaving a beautiful setting sun, interfaced with a sporadically placed breeze. I'm fortunate to be able to experience this beauty from my own backyard, and of course I took the opportunity. Just to stand out there for a few minutes, I felt so at peace with the beauty of the natural world. I hope you all appreciated the gorgeous weather this evening.....APRIL FOOLS. But not really.
