So, today was the last day of school. I feel really old, but other than that, not much has changed. I guess it'll hit later on or something. Getting robes tomorrow. Practicing the walk. That's all I have to say for now. Latahs!

I was getting really sick of seing the jolly drunk guy at the top of my page, so I decided to upload this journal.

We WOULD have a break right now if it weren't for all the freaking snow days we've had this year. *curses the forces of nature* Anyway, at least Seniors don't have to come back after graduation (which happens to be on June 15th for anyone who cares to know)

Short journal today
I don't know what else to say.

So, after a week of no electricity, the power finally came back on in the wee hours of the morning. I woke up at 2 to go to the bathroom and there were lights on! It's amazing... it's almost as if I woke up from a dream of darkness and dispare into a world full of shiny technology. "Computers? Dishwashers?? Television?? Refridgerators???" I'm sooo happy

I'm also very happy to know that none of my homwork will be due until next year XD Even though I haven't finished homework yet that was supposed to be due last Monday

Anyway, I'll be babysitting in about 40 minutes, and then going to a Christmas dinner tonight with my parents and the families of some people they play soccer with. Tomorrow I'm working from 11 till 3:30 and then going to A Christmas Carol with Sanday at the ACT! I'm also excited about the New Years party Well, got to go try doing some of that homework I was talking about ^____^ talk to you later!

"Have a great..
..whatever you celebrate"

This Thanksgiving was definately.. different for me. It started last night when me and my friend Sanday stayed out in the hottub talking until well after midnight. I remember her leaving at about 3 am and then my mother coming in and waking me up at 9 to see a movie. It's a tradition of our family to see 2 movies the weekend of Thanksgiving, and because my parents are busy for the rest of the weekend, we were going to see both today, one before and one after dinner. Well, there weren't any early showings for Flushed Away, and we promised our cousins we would watch Happy Feet with them, so we ended up staying home for a few more hours and cleaning the house.


Once at the Renkert residence, there were greetings, yadayada, watched some parade and then I saw American Pie II for the first time with my cousins. It was then that I learned things >_< about my parents that not only stunned and confused me, but also changed the way I look at them, at least for now. That's pretty much all I can say about it, though. Just.. wow.

Anyway, after dinner, which was delicious, but not important, I beautifully demonstrated a classic Thanksgiving Flop. In other words, I was passed out on the couch for a few hours because I was so full and tired. My crazy aunt then wanted me to sing for her. Repeatedly. This lasted about 10 minutes before mom finally convinced everyone we needed to leave.

We went to Happy Feet first, but drove to the wrong theater. On the way there I saw a sign that read "Lakeshore Learning Store", but the "Lakes" was out. I found it amusing. Happy Feet was pretty much amazing. I effing s!! On our way out of that movie, both my dad and Bailey farted in the elevator, but we were the only ones in there. Right as the door was opening, my mom says rather loudly, "Who farts in an elevator??!" It was the funniest thing ever, or at least all day. We watched Flushed Away second, and it wasn't as good because there were about 43 refferences to other disney movies and it got old after a while.

And that, my friends, is my entire day beginning to end. Now I'm sitting at my computer freezing even though I'm wearing knitted footies, a sweatshirt and 2 blankets on top of my normal clothing. Brrrrr. Happy (late) Thanksgiving.
, me.

It was about time I updated this thingy, so I'll just go ahead and tell you all about my amazinating weekend.

Friday was the day of the game, and I wore a pretty amazing purpleish gold colored toga to school. We rehearsed for the field show during 6th period and still had some problems, so I was a little worried about that. My parents left after school (and won't be back until tomorrow o.o) so I pretty much had the house to myself all weekend as well. After school I took mom and Bailey into Woodinville and then came back home to get ready for the game. Kyle came over a little later than expected and I missed warm ups, but that's ok. The National Anthem still sounded great and I'm pretty sure my unwarm voice didn't throw off the entire choir XD THEN there was much excitement/nervousness for the first half of the game where I had to sit next to Color Guard and when Half Time came we went on the field and did the best we could (which I heard was pretty great) It was sooooo much fun, too! I was pretty much bouncing off the walls afterward. Friday night can't be explained. It was just that amazing.

SATURDAY was the day of the dance and I, being a spaz, didn't have jewelry, so Katie, Sanday, Kyle and I went to Redmond to get some. Upon returning to my house, Katie and Sanday pretty much attacked my face and hair for a couple of hours and amazafied me for the dance !! Kyle and I left for Ruby's diner, after being photographed, where he was checked out (repeatedly) by the waitress. whoohoo. We ended up arriving at the dance an hour late, but that's allright cuz it was in a barn Good times, though. The music wasn't TOO bad and there were some hella rad people there. I was glad (really glad ) to be back home afterward, though. Did you know that hot tubs are amazing? I like them a lot. I'm happy to have one.


Sunday was the not so fun day full of cleaning and taking care of little children. Tomorrow's going to be the same way, only 5 hours of it (because I get to skip first period) will be spent at school. How exciting. At least I'll have the weekend to look back on, though!
