So There's This Boy...

Okay, so I refuse to be upset

There is giant list of terrible things

That have been upsetting me

For several days now

But I don't want this post to be 

Depressing and sullen... 

It's going to be a happy one...

Okay, so there's this boy...

I don't think he reads this, 

Nor does anyone else that knows him

But I'm going to be intentionally vague

Just in case...

Anyway, for a long time

I haven't really been interested

In anyone... 

No one seemed particularly special

So I didn't push the issue...

But now, I found a boy...

And he's adorable

Sweet, funny, kind...

I'm not going to say a lot...

Again, we're going for vague...

Suffice it to say I have a dreadful crush

On this perfectly lovely boy...

And it makes me smile :)

20th Birthday Reflections

So, I just wanted to take a moment

And share how wonderfully my Birthday went.

I was out of rehearsal by 5:15 

Left Kent by 5:30...

Got home at 6:45, took a shower

Went to the movies...

Jess, Sondra, two of her friends, and I 

Went to go see Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Which was wonderful

And absolutely HILARIOUS...

It was a lovely evening.

Then, Saturday my Mom made me a cake

And got ice cream

And she sang Happy Birthday

I got to blow out candles...

And we watched a movie

And played Scrabble

And she made me a grilled cheese

And nobody fought

And it was wonderful.

Then, Nikki, Britt and I went out to dinner

At Olive Garden

Because it's my favorite

And they both got along

And Brittany actually talked to us

And stayed off the phone

For the most part...

The waiters and waitresses sang to me

And it was funny and wonderful.

Then, we all went back to their house

And their Mom had gotten a cake for me.

And they sang Happy Birthday 

And then they sang it in Dutch

Because that's how their family does it

And I blew out more candles

And it was wonderful.

Then Sunday, I went to Celia's

And I got to see her

And little T.J.

Who is 7 months old

And not so little anymore

And I did laundry.  

We chatted and swapped clothes

And watched Charlie Brown

And it was wonderful...

Then I had rehearsal from 7-11

Which went rather well

And I got to be the mean character

And use my big girl voice.  

Afterwards, I went and brought a slushie back for Connie

Who had fallen asleep at her desk

And Jaymee brought me a blueberry muffin.

And then I parked my car,

Came back here, answered all my messages

On email and facebook, etc.

Then decided to write about how absolutely perfect

My weekend was...

And how for once, everything was wonderful.

Taking a Few Moments

It's 2:50 p.m.

I know... I never post at normal hours...

This is big for me...

I missed French this morning

Beacause I had a really weird dream...

I feel the need to share it...

So my friend Tabi and I were on this boat 

Because one of the girls I went to high school with was getting married

It wasn't even a girl I was friends with
And the bridesmaids were wearing white and yellow striped cotton dresses

And the bride had on a matching shirt but like a white flowy cotton skirt 

It was just weird how much I actually remember from it...

Anyway, I got lost from Tabi

And some guy took my cell phone 

But I finally got it back, called her, 

And she said to meet her at the elevator

So we got on, and it must've been a tall boat, 

Because we were going up and up and up, 

But all of a sudden it stopped and the doors opened, 

And it was just wall... 

Like, we were between floors 

So we panicked and decided not to touch anything 

And just stay really still... 

The doors closed most of the way, 

And it started going up really slowly, 

But we looked up and the floor thing said [147] 

Then all of a sudden it was [59] 

So I said, "Why did it drop so fast?" 

And then the elevator just fell... 

And I remember hitting bottom and it just being black.... 

It was like I was conscious just long enough 

To know Tabi died and that I was going to... 

And thank God Tabi finally texted me

To ask why I wasn't in French

Because it vibrated against the duty radio 

Loud enough to finally wake me up 

Because the alarm on my phone wasn't doing it

So that was my dream, 

And it really freaked me out...

So I missed French...

And now I'm going to go practice piano

Go to my last two classes

And then hopefully go see a play tonight.
