No Power *throws confetti*

~~~~ Feelin' Fine

But wait you say... if I have no power how am I typing on a computer... requiring power. Well, at my house there is no power.... actually there's been no power for about 12 hours now. So dad and I have found the comfort of electricity at my grandma's. Oh, Shelby too, of course she's here. I've been reading a lot today. I finished the Count of Monte Cristo yesterday and started on The Hobbit... for the fifth time. *blushes* yeah I'm insane, I know it.

Billy and I had been making plans to hang out today but I think they went down the pooper after this wonderful ice storm. That's ok, I'm content to stay here the rest of the day. I brought things to do, she has a computer (duh), and it's warm here! I'm not complaining.

Well, this has been the most exciting day of break so far. I've been doing a bunch of nothing... and that's fine with me! I'm actually welcoming this escape from the chaos that is my life and sleeping, reading, and hanging out on the computer is a wonderful change. I will have to do a couple of labs for A.P. Biology and Zoology before the break is done but I still have a week and half. No worries yet, I'll probably procrastinate and that'll be bad but I have nothing to worry about for now!

Interesting...

The Dark Side of the Dream

I don’t dream. It does no good to dream because it always ends in disappointment. Today I showed weakness. Today I dreamed.

Pink Floyd talked to me. And not the way they usually do, like when I’m in a circle listening to “Dark Side of the Moon.” I mean, Pink Floyd literally talked to me.

I was at the gas station filling up the El Camino when the entire car was suddenly covered in shadow. I assumed, of course, that it was the apocalypse. But when I looked up, I saw the coolest, most awesome thing ever: a hundred foot long, airbrushed rock n’ roll tour bus. I tried looking in to see who was inside but with the combination of the bus’s tinted windows and my tinted glasses all I could see was black.

Then it happened. The door opened and this big fat bus driver came out. But right after him came Roger Waters - the genius behind Pink Floyd and the man who taught me to combine my two favorite things in life – rock songs and my stash.

That’s when I began dreaming. I couldn’t help imagining me and Roger talking about rock. He’d invite me on the tour bus and the next thing you know I’d be in the band on stage rocking out in front of thousands of screaming fans. Of course, I’d have to leave the gang behind but they could be groupies if they wanted and Fez would be happy with just a free t-shirt.

I was in the middle of rocking Madison Square Garden when Roger Waters spoke to me: "Where the hell am I?" I knew we had a connection. That’s the exact kind of philosophical question I pose all the time – where are any of us? I tried asking him that but it turns out they were just driving to a gig in Milwaukee and he really just wanted to know what town they were in. I told him and he got back on the bus and left.

Serves me right for dreaming. I went back to filling up the El Camino. Seventy-four cents for a gallon of gas. What a load of crap

If The Week Keeps Progressing

~~~~Feeling Better

This weekend started out real bad but it's progressivly getting better. Ironically it's getting better the further away from my birthday. Monday was the worse and that was my birthday. Today was better. Not only did Nutcracker run more smoothly and less stressfully but Billy wasn't there to make me feel bad so it worked out pretty well. See, yesterday I asked him to show because I knew we needed him but before I got there he was informed by some jackass parent that he was neither wanted or needed. I'm so pissed off! I know it's just because he has crazy dreadlocked hair and he himself is just abnormally hairy for an 18 year old boy. Oooh! I'm just mad thinking about it! That's the thing I hate the most about people in the Nutcracker, they're so narrow-minded. There are the occasional alright group but it's all the parents there that just piss me off! I know I shouldn't work it to stand up for what I believe in but I need the money and they feed you... it's just too hard to pass up. I am gonna just leave tomorrow and hang out with Billy. I know that'll put a big burdon on Micah but if he doesn't seem to mind I'll do it. I probably should be doing what my little mouse is doing... sleeping. But I'm not and I don't plan on doing that any time soon. I'm still trying to get stupid nutcracker songs outta my head... *cranks up the Evanescence* It just won't go away!!!

The Best Birthday Ever

~~~~Happy

I had the best birthday ever today and I'm not even 18 yet. Actually, my realy birthday is on Monday but Tom took me out for a "special suprise" today and it was better then any other birthday ever!

First Tom cam to get me around 10:30 with my present. He made me a hemp necklace! He knew I've wanted one for a while so he got his sister to show him how to make one and he did! It has 5 silver beads and it's absolutley perfect! Well, it's still a little rough and scratchy but it'll soften up soon. Then we drove to the nearest Panera Bread (sadly around an hour away) for lunch. I absolutley adore potato soup in a sourdough breadbowl! Then he took me up to the Cleveland Art Museum because I love to spend hours just looking at all the artworks... plus they have an Egyptian section! *yay* After spending all day there we went to the BEST sushi restaurant ever. I mean this sushi was to die for. When I told Chanda all about it she said: "nothing says I love you like a plate of dead fish"... I don't care it was still good!

After I got home my parents gave me my mini iPod (I'm putting songs onto it right now) and I hung out with Billy for a while. It was a very good day all-in-all.

Sadly I have to work tomorrow... the nutcracker starts on Monday and we have to get all the misc. stuff into the PAC tomorrow. Joy and Rapture. Chanda said she'll stop by to give me my birthday present sometime so at least I'll have that to look forward to... and a nice fat paycheck... *sigh* sounds good!

The Weekend *woo-hoo*

~~~~Ecstatic

I felt like this week would never end. And now that it has words cannot describe how joyful I am. I have no homework, I'm sitting here enjoying some chicken fingers, Chanda and I are planning to go see Alfie, and the rest of the weekend will be jam-packed with not-at-home activites.

Tomorrow is a speech tournament in Copely and the final South Pacific show. After the show Colin's having a party so that's how I'm spending the rest of my Saturday. I'll probably be somewhere other then home until the show on Sunday too so I'll go there then strike set and the cast party. I'll never be home and I'll be having a blast! The fun I'll be having will totally make up for the zero sleep I'll be getting this weekend. Sometime this weekend I do have to write my Marine Bilology essay, rewrite my college draft, and make sure I get my application fess paid. Plus next week is only three days until Turkey Day and 10 until my birthday! I'm uber excitied. These next few weeks are gonna rock!

My Theme Song

~~~~Jammin'

COLD HARD BITCH

Gotta leave town
Got another appointment
Spent all my rent
Girl you know I enjoyed it

Ain't gonna hang around till there's nobody dancing
I don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
That's all that I need

Gonna check her out
She's my latest attraction
Gonna hang round
Wanna get a reaction

Gonna take her home cause she's over romancing
Don't wanna hold hands and talk about her plans alright!

Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
And I that was all that I need
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees

Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting

Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
And I was all that I need
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting give me

Some of the Stress Gone but Something Else Here

~~~~Dirty

The first weekend of South Pacific is over and I'm actually quite sad. I'm gonna miss rehearsals and the time I spent with Bryce and Billy. T.P. is supposedly real mad at rail because the boilers got shut off and we're instantly the ones to blame. *Grrr* it wasn't our fault. We didn't do anything. I hate that. Oh well, we'll see how things go in Zoology tomorrow. I'm actually kinda hoping Billy gets on tonight. I have some things to talk to him about. Brittany's coming home Saturday and we're making plans to meet up after the show. I want it to be Saturday right now. I just want a lot of time with my friends lately. We went to CW's after the show this Saturday and stayed until 2 am. It was great. Probably the best part was driving to and from with Billy. It was nice to spend some one and one time with him and it was fun to sing Beetles songs with him. Overall I'm beginning to remember why I dated him when we were in edgewood and I hope we don't fall away after South Pacific is over this year. This week will probably stink. I'll just want it to be over so it'll probably drag on and on... never to end! I even have absolutley nothing to do on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's gonna be real weird and I don't think I'll like it. I hope I can just hang out with my friends all week!
