I'm Feelin' Festive!

Well as you all can see, and by all I mean Steph and Natalie, I decorated for the season. I put up my little Christmas tree and mom put up her massive snowman collection.

Sadies was last night. Casey and I went as Aquaman and Aquagirl. We got orange long-sleeved shirts, green tights, and, dare I say it, spandex/underwear which made Casey's butt look amazingly amazing. ;) (I'll probably get in trouble for saying that later, but it's so true.)Anyways, superheroes from all universes came to participate in the merrymaking.

Until it started to rain.

Yes, most likely the result of a synaptic misfire, some idiot from ASB and the faculty decided that it would be really fun to have Sadies outside! Apparently, imagine me saying this with extreme disdain and sarcasm, "everyone" kept asking for it to be outside. Oh really? Who? The abominable snowman??? Seriously, it doesn't take a lot of brains to realize that it's December, and that an outside dance would not be acceptable like our usual October Sadies dance. The cherry on top is that there was a storm predicted for Saturday night, and our class president, bless his heart, TJ, came up to Casey and I and said, "Man, there was a 0% chance of rain this weekend, I swear!" As he walked away Casey and I just stared at each other and at the same time said, "Uh... no!"

Other than the subzero temperatures, I'm talking sub-60 degrees since us Californians aren't used to having to put on jackets and scarves, the dance was pretty fun. I got tired halfway through at 9:30 since I'm not a big dancer anyways so I wasn't generating a lot of body heat, and I had spent 3 hours at Deseret Industries earlier that morning sorting through hundreds of plastic utensils and horribly ugly handbags.

----------------------------------------------------

Nothing special is going on this week. On Saturday I have my piano recital and then I have to go to a Stake dance because I'm on the Youth Committee, which makes me morally obligated to go since I helped plan it. As the French say, zut! Next week on the 15th is my choir concert: Winter Wonderland so come one, come all!

BTW, if you know anyone else who might want to read this blog, give me their blog URL or whatever. I can't remember if I put my privacy settings to an invite-only blog or an open blog.

Ta-ta!

Well I've clearly neglected this poor, empty, pitiful excuse for blog for awhile now; i guess I should breathe some life into it...

I haven't been doing anything exciting. Unless you count finishing college apps as "exciting". I see my other friends applying to 10 or 13 colleges and I just think to myself, as Natalie would put it, "Halle-FREAKIN-lujah!" I'm so glad I finished applying to my staggering maximum of 4 colleges....

Senior year is well underway. AP Lit is driving me bonkers with all of this reading business. We just got Emma, and simply based off the movie, I hate it already. Sorry all you Austen fans, I'm one too, but I hate brown-nosers. Not only do they get in your beezwax, but they smell like crap too (I got a kick outta that one :P). Plus, my teacher-love him to death, but he's gotta go--was that creepy?-teaches us nothing! All he does is host little class discussion, meanwhile, we don't actually learn how to discuss, or even how the read for that matter.

Casey and I went Sadies shopping yesterday which was an all-day event. I asked him via cat-litter cake (thank you Lori Stephen!). Let's just say Tootsie Rolls never looked so good!
Anyways, we're going as Aquaman and Aquagirl - the theme is Super Sadies - and lemme tell ya, it's gonna be great!!!

That's all for now!

Love Febreeze

Something has been going around CHS, and it's not the flu....

Well, to be perfectly honest that is going around, but not as much as the illness FAR worse and FAR more painful (both to have and to witness...): the infamous, the audacious, the beau-dacious

LOVE BUG!

Indeed, Spring Fling Fever is in full swing in the little ol' town of Claremont. I have no idea why or when, but a week or two ago everybody was hit. And hit HARD.

Take for example, two of my friends who magically got significant others within the same week!

My one friend Elena has been flirting on and off with this one boy, we call him "T.C." but his real name is Thomas, and it was cute. For the first little while.

Anyone with eyes could see that she had fallen hard and fast for this tall hunk-cough- I mean average Joe with glasses, on the football team, and a bass voice in choir. (She's a soprano! Perfect!) As predicted TC was soon into Elena as well, and the rest is history.

My second friend, Scott (kind of an odd character, but a really sweet guy), just recently mustered up the courage to ask a girl in our seminary class, Kalyn, out. As in OUT out. Girlfriend status. Everyone knew within the first two days what had happened, and now everyone has just been fawning all over them. It's not hard to see why. They are made for each other...at least it would seem.

Well, let's tone all these shenanigans down to reality.
Is it me, or has anyone ever noticed that whenever a couple on a TV show (the kind of couple that the audience knows that they both love each other, and so do the couple, but neither will do anything about it; they refuse to raise their relationship above 'just friends') finally gets together that the ending result is just kind of......blah? I mean, all of the romantic tension has built and built, but then when the moment comes, you just wanna say 'Awww......lame.'



No? Really? Well then I guess it's just me.



Anyways, that is exactly how I feel.
This liberal misting of the Love Febreeze is getting old. Fast. Too much love. Too much!!! Even too much for an Australian ballroom! (Strictly Ballroom reference....)

I'll admit, I'm a sucker for romance and for getting all mushy-gushy with my own Snugglebunny, but come on people!

Weirdos.
