Long time......

Ok, so I really need to stop making it such a long time in between posts on here. It's my senior year of high-school, and I'm still finding it really hard to believe that I'm actually graduating this year. I finally decided on what I want to do with my life, now to just narrow it down to a major, maybe two. I've alwyas kind of wanted a double major, as crazy as that sounds. Anyway, I'm taking the SAT tomorrow, hope it goes well, the only part about it that I'm really nervous about is the math portion. Math has never really been a srtong point in my life, and since I finished my math requirements for school last year, I haven't been in a math class for quite some time, unless you count chemistry. I'm still looking for a job. I really need money for college and life and everything, only problem is, if I get a job, I'd have to ask for time off right away because of the schedule for the school play I'm in. Oh, yeah, I'm in the school play, by the way :P It's really fun so far, but soon we're going to start having to be memorized and everything, and things are going to start getting really stressful really fast. And also if I get a job, there's no guarantee that I can audition for the school musical, either. Oh well, I'll just wait until college or after or something. I'm still young. But still, I would hate to miss out on it. Especially since all my friends are trying out for it.
Anyway, my mom and I got into a little fight earlier about my college plans and how I intend to pay for it and all that. My mom says that I'm not being very practical about it all, that I need to get a job and start earning money before I can even consider applying to a university, maybe even community college. I want, no NEED to go to college next year. I'm not going to end up as one of those people who "took a year off" and then never ended up going. I've always wanted to go to college, and I WILL. One way or the other. Thing is, I don;t have the grades for a scholarship. I mean, they're good grades, A's and B's, but not good enough. And I haven't played my cello in a year, so no hope there. Besides the fact that I don't want to major in anything to do with cello, as much as I love it.
I don't know, things will work out in the end. I'll just keep looking for a job and praying and hoping, and something will turn up. I'm half tempted to sell half my stuff just for some money to put towards college. I tired selling some of my books and a couple movies to this place called Half-Price books today, and I only got ten dollars from it. I brought at least 6 books (one of them signed by the author himself) and two or three movies, all in really good condtition, and all I got was ten bucks. And when I tried to give it to my mom to pay her back for something, she told me to use it as my lunch money. So there goes that.
I'll figure something out, I always do. And life goes on, whether we like it or not. And as long as it's going, I'm going to keep trying my best.

Hopeless romantic

That's it. I'm tired of denying it. I, Laura, am a hopeless romantic to the extreme. OK, maybe not that far, but pretty close. All my life I've dreamed about what kind of romance that I would want to have, and after years and years of watching movies and tv shows and seeing people that I know fall in love and get married, I still have absolutely no idea whatsoever of the type of romance I really like.
I really shouldn't be saying "type of romance". More like "styles of wooing" Or even "type of guy" would be more appropriate. Although as I have been informed by many, you don't really have types, you just kind of fall for someone. Why then do I keep getting crushes on guys who all share a lot of the same qualities and personality traits, then?
MOVING ON.
I know (sort of) what I don't like, outside of the obvious things that every girl has on her list (and if they don't, their priorities are messed up and they need to see a therapist ASAP) No alcoholics, no abusers, no druggies, etc... But I'm not really clear on what I DO want. Oh sure, there are some things that I see, both in real life and in movies, that I want, like the way the guy looks at the girl, or how happy they look together, and I know that I want that, but that's pretty much it.
I guess that's all I really need to look for, anyway. Someone who makes me happy and loves me as much (or maybe even more O.O) as I love them and is nice to me and likes kids (I plan on having at least 4, but no more than 6 or 7) and really cheesy movies (like Bride and Prejudice,  Spectacular, Spy Kids, etc...)
But if I don't know what I'm looking for, then how do I go about dating the right guys for me?! Am I just supposed to wait for them to come and find me and ask me out? What if they're too shy (I hope not, I'm not a big fan of shyness, but it depends on the degree of shyness) or if they think that I'm not interested, or something.
I want a guy who gives me a single rose, and holds my hand as we walk, and lets me sing around the house without getting too annoyed with me, and likes to go to amusement parks and ride the roller-coasters and play a bunch of the games and will try to win me the biggest stuffed animal they have for me to carry around all day, someone who puts his family ahead of his work, who laughs at my cheesy jokes, and who knows exactly how to calm me down and make me see reason when I start to get one of my mini freak outs. And it wouldn't hurt if he was cute, but I don't think that that will be a problem. If they have a great personality and I genuinely fall for them, I'm pretty sure that I'll find them attractive.
Just have to say one more thing on the topic of romance: I'm watching the Bachelorrette right now, and it is the stupidest thing ever. Or, at least, she's making stupid decisions. I keep sitting here, yelling at her as she lets some really great, awesome guys who truly care for her get away and lets those who are there for all the wrong reasons (i.e. tv time, promoting their own business and actually really hate her in real life, coughBentleycoughcough) AFTER being warned about them from a friend who knows the ex-wife, anyway. I do empathize with her a bit, though. More than I'd like to admit, I'm afraid. But I don't agree with a lot of her decisions. She is just putting herself on the road to depression and despair and heartbreak, and I wish her all the luck in the world.  She's gonna need it :/

Just an experiment....

Leonardo DiCaprio, yes that one guy from such famous movies like Inception and Titanic, age 36, is allegedly going out with 23 year old Blake Lively (Gossip Girl, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) O.O Only very recently, Leonardo and his ex girlfriend (whose name I do not remember but apparently is a model and 25 years old) have broken up (again) after a 6-year on/off relationship. Some sources (anonymous) say that they do this every couple years or so. "They could be back together next week," says anonymous source "They're like that."
And miss Blake Lively herself has also recently (not as recently as Leo, though) broken it off after a long term relationship with one of her Gossip Girl male co-stars after about 2-3 years together.
So, not only are Leo and Blake 13 years apart, but they're also both kind of on the rebound. Now, I actually don't think that the age thing is as big a deal as a lot of other people do, but it if someone (cough, Leo, cough cough) repeatedly has girlfriends over ten years younger than him, that either says that they're extremely mature for their age (which, let's face it, to be in that business you either have to be  extremely mature or extremely immature), or that he's immature for his age. Or maybe it's just a coincidence that both his last girlfriend and his new one are much younger than him.
How long will this romance last? Hard to say, as they seem to be moving pretty fast. Already, after just being spotted twice together, they're vacationing in Italy, trying to hide the fact that they're there together, but failing miserably. So either this is just a short fling, or the start to the greatest, fastest whirlwind romance of the 21st century.

NEW STORY!

Selena Gomez is no longer hiding the fact that she and Justin Bieber are going out. They were seen together in Hawaii embracing and having fun and being in young love on the beach, apparently with little to no parental supervision, with Selena in a tiny bikini, and Justin showing off his two tattoos , one on his rib-cage and the other on his lower stomach. The young 18 year old actress/singer said that she's tired of hiding their relationship, and although she does like to keep these sort of things private, it's not really possible anymore.
They first went public at a Vanity Fair party after the Oscars, when they kissed outside while waiting for their car. They even had matching outfits on, for goodness sake!
Anyway, this couple is no longer in the dark, and they are enjoying every minute of it, by the looks of things.

NEW STORY!

If you watched the finale of American Idol, then you probably saw winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina share a smooch. For many, this cemented the fact that they are an official, couple, but in interviews since then. Scotty says that they're still "just friends." Scotty went on to say that he knew that Lauren was going o kiss him if he won, because she told him before the show. "It was meant to be a joke," he continues, "Lauren's like that."
So, what do you think? Just another cover-up to hide the truth, or is a kiss really just a kiss?

Sorry that it's been forever :(

Ok, so I am officially the world's worst blogger. I haven't posted anything in FOREVER! Oh my goodness, I don't even know where to start. Well, it's that time of year again! Spring Formal (aka Mormon prom) and school prom are coming up! Yay!! I already know about four people who've been asked to one or the other, and we have more than a month to either of them. In fact, in two days, it will be exactly a month until Spring Formal. I don't know whether or not I want to be asked to either of them. I mean, I;m still a junior, and the senior prom is the one that you're supposed to be all pumped up about to go to, right? So, if I don't get asked this yea, I'll just have my own little party at home this year, like I did last year, and not be too heart-broken about it. Same with Spring Formal. I heard somewhere that the guys are supposed to ask girls in their wards, and that kind of rules me out. Actually, it doesn't kind of, it does. We don't have many priests in out ward, and the ones we do have wouldn't ask me. Now, I'm not being down on myself, let me explain. One, one of them is my best friends younger brother, and I've known him since forever. Can you say awkward? The next one doesn't go to dances, and claims that he doesn't even like girls yet. He says that he never wants to get married either, let's see if he can keep that up his whole life. The next one is one, younger than me, and two thinks that I'm an idiot and really doesn't like me. And the last one (I think we only have four) doesn't like going to dances at all. Sooo, yeah.
Then there's the school prom. As far as I know, there aren't any boys who would ask me as their first choice, not to mention the fact that there are practically three times as many girls as boys at my school. And besides, the guy I like likes another girl, and I've been trying to make sure that he asks her to prom, because I know that she likes him back, so yeah. And I'm not one of those girls who doesn't want to go with anyone but the guy she likes, I'm sure I'd have fun with whoever I ended going with if they asked me, unless they're a creep, in which case I'd have to say no to them O.O
But yeah, that's my dating life in a nutshell. Non-existent, at least until the next girl-ask-guy dance. I don't mind asking the guys out that much, but after a while of being the only one asking, a girl does start to wonder. But I'm not the only one out there not being asked out on dates every weekend, so at least I know that I'm somewhat normal. Besides, it's not like I;m marrying age. Yet. Scary thought there. Yet, I've been looking forward to being married my whole life, so I don't know why I should be in a y way scared of it. But then I guess that the whole idea of growing up is scary to everyo0ne at some point in their life.
Whoa, way off topic there. Sorry 'bout that. You just got a little glimpse of the way my mind works :P
Anyway, so there's a girl in my ward who is lamenting the fact that I've never been kissed. In fact, she was telling me that I should just go up to the guy I like and kiss him. I tried telling her that you can't just go up and kiss a guy randomly and not have it somehow backfire on you, especially when you know that he like someone else, and you happen to be friends with that person and she likes him back.She responded that after one kiss from me, he would stop liking her and like me instead. I didn't bother to respond that then it would be for all the wrong reasons, and that really, I'm fine with never having been kissed. Most people I know advise against it at such a young age unless I do happen to find my soul mate, but even then I'm still only 17, for goodness sake,. that's preety dang young in the scheme of things.
Ok, my fingers hurt, but remind me to tell you later about a couple games of MASH and, maybe, choir. :)

New opinion...

So, I don't hate all teenage boys anymore. I wrote that out of anger at one guy, and that's not fair to all the other guys out there. Soooo, not all teenage boys are horrible people. Just like not all teenage girls are perfect little angels.
I was going to talk all about Sadies in this post, but I'm really busy right now, so I'll just make a new one later and tell all about it then. :) Just let me say this: IT. WAS. AWESOME!!!! :D Soooo, yeah. More to come :)

Teenage boys....

So, I have this theory, please correct me if I'm wrong (and I don't think I am), but I have this theory that teenage boys are the stupidest creatures ever to walk the planet Earth (with a few exceptions who are few and far between and very rare). Seriously. What my cousin Jenn said about boys being stupid till they get back from their missions and get a masters degree, then they're finally decent, is soooo true. At least, it sure looks like that right now. And I'm sure the more boys I get to know, that this belief will only continue to build  >:(
So, I found out that, apparently, the guy I like is a major player. As in, he has a girl for every day of the week. He'll ignore you for most of the time, but when it comes to be your turn, he'll pay all the attention in the world to you, the go back to ignoring you all over again. And I realized as the person who was telling me all this said that that it really was true, except for two people: me and the girl he likes. Me, because I don't wait for him to come up and talk to me, I go up and talk to him, so as the person told me this after I said this, "See, he probably didn't even need a day for you; you talk to him all by yourself." Or something like that. Close enough. And also the girl he likes because, well, it's the girl he likes, so they're always together, etc....
I went to visit my dad today. I sat down by his grave and talked to him, about boys, about my talk that I'm going to be giving in stake conference, just stuff going on in my life, etc...  I miss him so much, especially right now in my life. I know about the Plan of Salvation and all that, but it doesn't quite numb the pain of missing him or anything. I have more to say, but I'm tired of writing, so I'll stop here, except for one more thing. SADIES IS TOMORROW, AHHHHHH!!!!!! :D I'm glad I have the date I have. He's awesome, even if he is a bit of a flirt at times, he's a nice guy and is very sincere. :) Well, at least I have one thing to look forward to involving boys this weekend.

My current love situation...

Girl likes boy. Boy likes different girl. Different girl likes boy back. First girl watches boy and different girl together.
Girl asks another boy somewhere. "Another" boy is nice. Girl starts thinking maybe she should like "another" boy to take mind off of boy. Doesn't quite work. Causes girl to go into emotional hysteria.
Boy seems to be paying less attention than ever to girl. Girl starts to notice and feels sad. Girl tries to talk to boy. Boy doesn't respond very well. Girl starts to get annoyed with herself but disguises it as being annoyed with boy. Maybe girl is annoyed with boy and the way he is acting. Maybe not. All this thinking is driving girl into yet another case of emotional hysteria.
Girl is very confused. Does girl like boy, or does she like "another" boy? Or maybe girl likes both, but in different ways. Maybe same way.
Oh, no, girl doesn't like that, not at all.
Girl notices that the more times she types girl just how strange looking a word it is, and how funny sounding, too.
Girl starts to wish that all this could just end and she could go back to being happy. Girl hates faking it.
Girl has lots of friends in relationships. Girl very happy for them. Girl also very sad and jealous.
Girl afraid of never finding anybody to love her. Girl even more afraid that she won't love them back, at least not for long. Girl worries that her emotions are too easily swayed. Girl also worries about being good enough, not really. Girl thinks that she is good enough, just worried boys won't think so.
Girl very tired of writing like this  >:(
Girl just wants everything to be ok again. :/

Just venting....

So, I've fallen for this guy. I know, I know, the story of every teenage girls' life. we fall for someone, we think that it's the end of the world if they don't notice us or happen to like someone else, or even worse, turn out to be a major jerk and end up breaking your heart on purpose. Then there are the ones who are your friends, and are totally oblivious to the fact that you like them, or think that it's just going to go away and it's fine, so they continue to flirt with other girls in front of you anyway. Stupid boys. Then there's this guy that I think I am totally giving the wrong impression to, the impression that I like him as more than a friend when I don't. I like him as just a friend, and I hate the fact that I might be giving him the wrong impression, but what can I do? I know, stop leading him on, but I never meant to in the first place, so how do I stop now? I was just being myself, wasn't I? Aren't I? I don't know.
Anyway, back to the guy that I DO like, I really am at a loss of what to do. I just keep feeling like I'm not good enough for him, that there's something that I don't have like I'm lacking an extremely important quality, and then I start to nitpick at everything about me, my weight, my life habits, the way I act, talk, my grades, the way that no guys that I am ever interested in like me. These last couple weeks, I've worried more and watched my weight more than I have ever watched it. And I've been comparing myself to a girl that I know he does (or at least used to, I don't know if he still does) like and wondering what she has that I don't, the I get even more depressed. And I've tried that experiment where you let them come to you instead of always going up to them, and not once has it worked. Mostly because I can't help not going up and talking to him when I have something to say, or when I need help with something and he's there to help me.
As the book says, Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks At Them. I don't actually know if that would make me feel better, but you never know.
You want to know what the really funny/ironic thing here is? I used to make fun of girls who got like this over guys ALL THE TIME. AND I swore that I would never act that way over a boy no matter what. Karma, I'm telling you.
Anyway, I've been in this position once before, I can get through it again. It won't be fun or easy, but I can. With the Lord, all things are possible, even what seems like a hopeless situation and impending heartbreak. :)

Poem for a boy

You look at me, you smile
I look back and smile even bigger.
You flirt, you tease, you talk, you help
You laugh at my jokes, then move on to someone else.
I see you flirting with her, the one you like
I look at her, wondering what you see in her that I don't have.
And so I start to change.
I work harder, try harder, talk to other people hoping that by not paying as much attention to you you might notice me for once.
I know what everyone says, don't change yourself just so someone will like you,
but what if that change is good?
What if by trying to get you to notice me, I become a better person?
But then I look at how jealous I get, and I the know the answer; If I were really a good person, I wouldn't be jealous of anyone, not even her, the girl you notice,
the girl you like.
So I wait until the day comes when I am finally over you, when I find someone who will love me back for me, someone for whom I won't have to change myself.
And all the while I can't help but think to myself in the dead of night
that all this is going to take a while.

Been a while

Hey, so yeah, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Sorry about that. Life sure does get busy during the week, especially with school and all. Let me fill in on what happened this last week. I've been feeling kind of sick, if you remember from my previous entries, but even so, my friend Mary came over on Monday to hang out. We watched the first two episodes of Buffy, walked to Walmart to buy some snacks, got hit on by a car full of guys while walking back (they just honked and waved at us), then played Just Dance on the Wii while eating our snacks (yes, I know, counterproductive). Then, on Tuesday, I went to school, where I found out (during choir class) that our choir teacher was leaving and that we have a new one in her place. It was a big cry fest, especially since most of us have had her since junior high, and not just as a choir teacher, but also as an orchestra and band teacher too. Anyway, after we had all hugged her and got all the crying out of us, we sang our Les Miserables medley. And might I say, we're getting pretty darn good at it, too. Then, in my sci/fi/fantasy class, we watched most of an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. We're going to (hopefully) finish it today. Then, yesterday (Wednesday), I went to school, like usual, and had a pretty normal day. Then, for mutual, we did extreme volleyball. A friend of mine and I decided to dress up crazy for it, including bright tights, awesome shorts, and headbands. :) It was pretty fun, although I managed to twist my ankle before I even got into the building by dancing to the music that someone was blasting from their car. But it didn't hurt that much, I still played and everything. It wasn't until this morning that it really started to hurt. Yeah, that's all my news so far. :) Drive safe, people.

My Sunday :)

Today was pretty much a typical Sunday. Went to church, had a great time, came home, ate lunch, and went to sleep. And boy, did I sleep for a LONG TIME. I think it has something to do with the fact that I am absolutely exhausted from having little kids around the house and the fact that I think that I'm getting sick. :(  But it was a good nap, so it's all good. I don't remember my dream, but I do remember that I had one. I hate when that happens, I like remembering my dreams. They make for very interesting stories. Anyway, then I talked for about two hours on the phone with one of my best friends, Mary. We're planning on hanging out tomorrow and watch Buffy, play the Wii, maybe take a walk down to Walmart or Shop Kwik (yes, I know ho to spell quick, but that's how the store spells it, kwik. Weird, right?) Anywho, I also talked to my "sister", Devaune (a really close friend who's more like a sister than a friend to me) for a little bit, mostly about boy troubles, and Celtic Thunder, whom we both happen to love oh so very much :) Now I'm going to go and watch a movie then go to bed. Yeah, peace out!

Revision

I just want to say in regards to my former post, that holding a baby in your arms can instantly change your mood from bad to good. :) That's all.
~Laura

My house is being over run with little people!

So, this morning, my mom went to go baby-sit my nieces for my sister, and came home with them. Now, I don't usually mind it when my nieces come to visit, even if it is ALL DAY, but today, I was in a bad mood. No, that doesn't even begin to describe it. I was in one of those absolutely awful, terrible, horrible, dreadful, deplorable moods. And the fact that I'm stressing over my research paper for English and the fact that I could have gotten my license yesterday except that we couldn't find my birth certificate (which, by the way, I found today) and that I really, really, REALLY want to get out of my car pool but now I can't even if I had a license because my sister-in-law is borrowing my car for the next two weeks or so wasn't helping AT ALL. And other things, too, but they were smaller. So, today wasn't really the best day for me to have anyone around me, much less my nieces, and now that they have finally arrived, my brother and his family, complete with yet another niece and my nephew and their super-annoying-follows-me-practically-everywhere dog. AND my sister and her youngest daughter are coming for dinner, so that's pretty much my whole family, minus my other brother and his wife, and aunts/uncles/etc...
So, about my research paper, I went to the library today (with my mom and nieces) and got 8 books, which by the way, contain only part of the information that I need for my paper. I am so mentally tired right now from all the research that I've done today, trying to decipher what all these people who clearly don't want anyone to understand what they're writing because they insist on using all these words that are super long and that I've never even heard of before in their writings. I'm a pretty smart person, I can usually understand that kind of stuff, even if I have to re-read it a couple times. But not some of these. Five times, at least, and I am no farther in understanding what the heck they are going on about. Anyway, so I got a lot of stuff for my paper, but I still need a periodical source, and an internet source. I certainly have my book source covered.
Ok, scratch the whole being just mentally tired thing. I am also physically exhausted. And in no mood to deal with people at the moment. And I'm going to have to, all night tonight. I think I'll just hide in my room till everyone either goes home or goes to bed. That sounds like a good plan to me. Then I won't snap at anyone and get people mad at me.
On a happier note, I absolutely love it when my brother sits down and plays the piano. He is soooooo amazing at it, and I love just sitting there and listening to him. I now have one more qualification for my future husband that I would absolutely love him to have; being able to play the piano really well and with lots of feeling and to play it often. And, as the song says, "I want a man to stand beside me, not in front of or behind me" That's a good song, I was listening to it not that long ago. And, even though Sadies isn't for about two months, I'm already trying to come up with a group to go with and a day date for us to do. I'm really excited for it. The only bad thing about it is that Prom comes after it, and I have a bad feeling about Prom this year. That I will A. either not be asked at all, or B. be asked by someone who I don't want to go with because they're a complete creep or something like that. I don't know what I would do in the second case, it would be mean to say no, but at the same time, I don't want to go to a dance with someone that I am not comfortable around and who I wouldn't be able to be a very good date to because of my un-comfortableness. I would probably be trying to ignore them the whole night, or something like that. I don't like creepy guys, I don't really know of anyone who does like them, really.
Oh! And today, there were three marathons of amazing shows that I love on tv today. Buffy, White Collar, and America's Next Top Model. But, unfortunately, I only got to see a couple minutes of any of it before my mom brought my nieces home and we went to the library. :( Sad day. Well, I think that that's enough ranting for one post. Hugs, not drugs, my friends.

My Friday

So, I was talking yesterday about how I didn't know what I was going to do all day, but then I wake up and surprise surprise, my mom left a note asking me to basically clean the whole house. Now, it's not unusual for her to ask me to do the dishes on Fridays, but usually she has me do my homework on Fridays and leaves all the cleaning (minus the dishes, that is, since those are kind of an annual thing) for Saturday. The problem is, I slept in really late today, so now I have a little less than two hours to do all this cleaning before she comes home from work, and it takes me a while after I wake up to not feel sore enough to actually do stuff. I think I need to revise how I sleep, cause this is kind of getting old, the whole waking up super sore nearly every day. I might not get done by the time she gets home, but I will get most of it done. But until I'm done eating my breakfast/lunch, it will have to wait. I don't mind cleaning, I really don't. I actually sometimes enjoy it. Except for dishes, that is. And my room, but apart from that, I don't mind it. And I have more than enough homework to last me most of the late afternoon/early evening. Maybe even into the night, depending on how fast I can read and do my research. So yeah, my day actually looks pretty full at the moment. Maybe if I get done early, I'll watch some more Psych, or some White Collar in anticipation of the premiere coming this next Tuesday. Tomorrow's a different story, however. If I do all my cleaning today, and the majority of my homework also, what will I do tomorrow? Or Monday, since we have school off? And Sunday afternoon, well, I'm not too worried about that, I'll just watch a musical or a Jane Austen movie or something like that like I always do. Maybe I'll plan a hangout with one of my friends for Monday. Maybe. Maybe I'll just have a "me" day, you know, nothing super important to do, just do whatever I want, relax, stuff like that. Or, if the DMV's open, go get my license, that is, if my mom can find my birth certificate by then. She seems to have lost it right before I could test for my license. Anyway, I should really go and start cleaning. Love, peace, and chocolate :)

Wow, there's really nothing interesting to say right now.

Ok, well, as you can guess by the title, I really don't have anything mind-blowing to say, at least not right now.I am currently listening to Michelle Branch and watching some of her videos on youtube while waiting for my show that I've been trying to watch to load. It's taking a while. Any of you ever heard of Psych? yeah, I just recently got into it, and now I'm watching the show online trying to catch up. *sigh* I really don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I mean, I have homework and all, but besides that, nothing much to do around here. I suppose I could play my Wii some more, but I'm already super sore from playing it last time. Oh, wait, I do have something exciting to share. A couple days ago, I asked a boy (Ben is his name) to the Sadie Hawkins dance (it's a girl ask guy dance) with the help of one of my friends (Shirley). We rapped it to him, in front of a rather large crowd of people, might I add. By the way, I think that I'm probably the worst rapper in the world, but it was really fun and I really enjoyed it. Anyway, today during choir, the teacher announced that Ben had an announcement, and he got up and got everyone clapping, and then he rapped his reply to me, which was a yes :) So now, I have a date for Sadies, which is in about two months. The reason I asked so early was because I knew of a few other girls who wanted to ask him, and me being the kind of extremely competitive person I am, I wanted to ask him first. So I did. Literally, like, four days after Winter Formal. Wouldn't have happened, though, without Shirley encouraging me and helping me (actually, she practically wrote the whole thing herself, I just provided the rhythm to follow, which was the Fresh Prince of Be;-Air theme song. You know the one, "Now this a story all about how my life got twisted upside down" etc...) Anyway, apparently a lot of girls are mad at me, now. But I'm going to be nice and let them all have a dance with him, if he'll dance with them, which he will cause he's awesome like that. I just have to make sure to have the first and last dance with him. And some mixed in the middle. I wonder what the theme will be. I hope it's something really fun like it was last time. Last time was soooo much fun, 80's themed, at Skateland. Yeah, it was pretty epic. Anyway, now I'm just kind of rambling on and on. If you continue to follow me, you'll find that I tend to do this quite often. Although I can stay on topic if I really want to.
Eghh, I just remembered that I have a research paper for English that I need to start researching and everything. I usually love to research stuff, I really do, except for the fact that this time I happened to choose a kind of obscure topic that so far I haven't really had any luck in finding anything on that would be extremely useful. But I'll find something, and I'll write a really awesome paper and get a good grade on it.
Whoa, I just looked at how long this post is. Sorry about that. Wow. It's also really late right now. Whoops. Well, goodnight world. Have fun, be safe, and yeah. Stay cool. Peace.
