Do I have to go?

The final performance and strike of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" was last night. The cast party was at Witzke Manor, as I like to call it. It's a very nice house. I am relieved that this show is over now, but it makes me sad because I know I will never be in another play with a lot of the new people I met ever again. This show has probably introduced me to the most nice people I have ever come into contact with. I just look at them and think about how these people are the ones who will continue on the theatre department. Kinda weird. I only have 2 shows left. It makes me feel sad, because I am not ready to leave the theatre department yet. I am ready to leave the classes, the stupid drama that everyone creates, and the dumb people that need to try to win Darwin Awards. Christmas break seems so close, yet so unattainable. We still have 3 days of torture left. I need Christmas break badly. Well, my attention span is almost up, so I am gonna get going. Love and hugs.

Ehhh, why not?

Well, lately there seems to be a blogging trend. Everyone, well, almost everyone seems to be putting their input in on the whole "thing." I dont' think I need to mention it. Here's my opinion, I will try to keep it as simple as possible.
1. It takes two to tango. Yes, I know it is legally rape, but if we went by the government we should all be in jail for downloading music. For sex, it takes a penis and a vagina. In this case, both parties were consensual. I think Sam is the only one entitled to claim rape, and as far as she has said to me, she doesn't consider it to be rape. End of story.
2. I do not approve of the actions of Craig when it comes to the lying part. Personally, I don't think he should have had sex in the first place since it is for marriage, but everyone has their preference. I was lied to by one of my best friends. Not cool. It takes time to gain trust back, but I am not going to hold any punishment towards him. That's God's job.
3. I don't think people should be able to decide that he needs punishment. If God thinks he needs punishment, he will punish him appropriately, so shut your mouths about that.
4. This is a big one. No one, has the right to tell someone that they aren't a good Christian. NO ONE! If you think you can tell someone that they aren't being very Christian, it means that you think you know EXACTLY what is right and wrong. We don't know. There are so many differen't interpretations of the Bible that we don't know exactly what is being said.
5. No one has the right to tell someone that they aren't a good friend, unless they are referring to their own relationship with the person.
6. Physical threats are very dumb; especially if the only reason you are threatening them is to impress some girl that you like. That doesn't rate very high in my books.
7. Do not speak for other people. You make them look weak and petty.
8. Don't let your anger speak for you. You will say things you don't mean to. This applies to everyone who has posted things. This is why I waited to say my thing.

Now, I would just like like to say for the record that I hold no harsh feelings against anyone for what they said. Audrey, I still love you like a sister. You have never wronged me. Even though I don't agree with most of the things you say, I still love you. Chase, you voiced your opinion on your own blog, nothing wrong with that. Ben, you said harsh words to Sam and that's not cool. You also voiced your opinion, which is okay, but you might have crossed the line. Drew, thanks for the outside view. Katie Barth, also thanks for the outside view. Sam, let's keep our legs closed until marriage. (Not to be mean, as I am sure you regret it.) Well, I have to get going to play. Feel free to leave comments, just beware. If you break any of my rules, I will respond. Love and hugs.

Jerking off to Norah Jones

Well, here's the much-anticipated...maybe a little premature, post that all of you have been begging for. Well, I had madrigal, it was...madrigalish. I had school; it was schoolish. We are doing The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! It's turning out to be quite fun. We had two matinees today, so I am really tired, and it's not because of the shows...

Love and hugs, bitches.

Matt is full of surprises...so is his cancer.

So, I am here at Leslie Manor. We just finished watching movies. It was a fun time. Hmmmm...I don't have much to report. OH WAIT, I FORGOT....As is oft my lot. As you read in an earlier post, I have been accepted to Augustana. Well, yesterday, I received another letter from them. They are giving me $30,400 to go to there. I am so excited. That's $7,600 per year! Yay! So, I have decided to make it official and go to Augie. Yay for me, and no more big decisions for a while. So, apparently in six days I am marrying the love of my life. That's about it. Love and hugs to those who love Halo 2.

Half day? Why?

Hello all, yes, I am updating, for once in a very long while. I have been busy with many important things...along with some things that are just necessary to keep my sanity. Yes, I am talking about Halo 2. I waited in line for 3 hours to get the game, and now that I have it, I am spending a lot of my free time playing it. It is a fun game no matter what anyone else says because: frankly, your opinions don't matter. So, lately I have been in the mood where I am getting annoyed with a lot of my friends, and I am anticipating college a lot. I can't wait. We have gotten into the full swing of play rehearsals. I am playing Reverend Hopkins. Currently, I am in the choir room because we were supposed to have a choreography retreat today, but our choreographer is sick *cough* hungover. *cough* Last night, I hung out with Geoffy, Audrey, and Stephy Tschetty. I had a nice talk with Stephanie about a multitude of things. I was told about some things that just disturbed me immensely, and I was proven something that I have been doubting for a while. Audrey joined in the conversation later. Thanks for the talk. I needed it. I love you two so much. Anywho, I am going to leave now. Love and hugs to those who I respect.

Hi Sean!
Congratulations! You have been admitted to Augustana College! Thanks so much for submitting all of your application materials! Be looking for your offer of admission to arrive in the mail in approximately 10 days!

I would love to meet you sometime! I hope you will consider scheduling a time to come over and tour campus! If you'd like to meet with Dr. Jim Johnson, Director of the Augustana Choir and/or Dr. Julia Pachoud-Bennet, theater professor and director of our Improv troupe, that could definitely be arranged! Have you been over to visit Chase or Amy at all yet? They are both great people that I enjoyed getting to know last year~I'm glad to see you are friends with them!

Hope you are having a fantastic Senior year! You did very well on your ACT/SAT but I see you are planning to take it again...good luck!

Only two more shows!

Well, hello everyone. But, before you say anything, I just want to say that I know I haven't updated nearly enough. I have been quite busy with the play. Also, I have hit the college application process pretty hard. And, I am happy to say that I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ALL MY COLLEGE APPLICATIONS. Yes, for once, I haven't procrastinated. I figured that this is something that will change my life drastically, so I decided not to be my usual procrastinating self. I have applied to Augie (YAY!), Luther College, St. Olaf, Gustavus Adolphus, and I have to send in my application to SDSU and USD. Now, my goal is to apply for as many scholarships as possible. For sure, I am doing the Augie theatre scholarship, and I might do the Pro Musica scholarship for keyboarding...just kidding, I would do it for choir. I am taking the ACT again tomorrow. I am shooting for a 27. (That's all I need for a certain scholarship.) And, as usual, I will take this time to promote the play. THE LAST TWO PERFORMANCES OF DEARLY DEPARTED ARE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT AT 7:30PM IN THE LITTLE THEATRE. IF YOU WANT TICKETS, MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE DAMN EARLY. WE HAVE SOLD OUT ALL OUR PERFORMANCES SO FAR. IT IS A FUNNY SHOW, AND I WANT TO SEE ALL OF MY READERS TO BE THERE. While I am on the topic of promoting things, I'll use this opportunity to tell you of another function of mine. ROOSEVELT'S SHOW CHOIR, EXECUTIVE SUITE, WILL BE SELLING PIES AT HYVEE ON 26TH AND MARION ROAD TODAY FROM 4-7PM, AND TOMORROW FROM 11-3. EVERY PIE WE SELL, WE RECEIVE $2 FROM HYVEE. IN ADDITION TO THE PIE SELLING, WE WILL BE DOING A CAR WASH ON SATURDAY FROM 11-3 AT THE HYVEE GAS STATION. YOU CAN GET YOUR CAR WASHED FOR THE LOW PRICE OF ONLY $5. *Steps off of soapbox* Love and hugs to those worthy.

Amanda is the love of my life!

If you love me...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to quickly post this:
EVERYONE SHOULD GO SEE THE PLAY: Dearly Departed.
Roosevelt Little Theatre
October, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23
7:30PM
General Admission $5

If you love me, you should go see it. Hell, if you dont' love me, you should see it. It is a friggin' hilarious comedy. I hope to see you all there! Love and hugs.

Bliss

So, I guess I should update, huh? Well, not much is new in my life. Show Choir this year kicks some serious ass. I can't wait to go to the competitions and see the looks on everyone's faces when we are actually awesome. It just makes me smile thinking about it. Our show at the pancake feed was awesome. We perform in the homecoming talent show this year, which is exciting that we have songs done already. We performed "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban and "You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray. At the talent show, we are just doing "You Can't Stop the Beat." I am excited for it, even though we are probably going to be called fags by the retarded jocks. It's okay, I think they can be bitter since they will be serving me lunch at Burger King when I am old and successful. I agree with Geoff, friendships are changing. And yes, I believe that it is a good thing. This year is busy. We are in full swing of rehearsals for Dearly Departed. It's a funny show. You will all enjoy it. Also, I will probably be taking Stephanie Tschetter to prom this year. I asked her if she'd go, and she said yes. So, that'll be tons of fun. Last night, Geoff, Craig, Ashley, Melissa, Nick, Stephanie D., and Kelly hung out at Chase's dorm. Amy Jorgensen was there too. We watched some movies, and had a generally fun time. In case you don't know who Kelly is, she is a new friend of ours. She works at Starbucks, and we kidnapped her the other night. She is really cool. I look forward to hanging out with her more. I added a link to her blog on the right in my links section. Speaking of my links section, I added some more. I will be going through them someday and eliminating the unimportant ones, so just a heads up to save the sites you go to in your favorites as they won't be there forever. I hope to change my template too. I may even change my title. I have a good title in mind, we'll see if I follow through. I am very busy, so I don't know if I'll have time to make all these changes. Well, I am gonna go. I need to do some stuff for college applications before I go to work. I work 3-9 in casual dining. Come on in and visit me! I love visits. If you are stupid, don't visit me, I don't want to see you, but everyone else can come. Well, love and hugs all. Until next time....

Who am I?

Well, it is now 10:46, and I am supposed to be working on one of two papers due tomorrow. I don't know how to describe myself in a paper that is 2-3 pages long. I sit here and think about myself. I wonder what I have used my time for in the past 3 years. I realize that I have spent it: being in theatre, being in choir, wondering whether I was in love, wishing I was in love, wishing I was thinner, wishing I was better-looking, spending time with friends, having deep conversations, being jealous, denying the truth, laughing at things that really hurt, procrastinating, laying in bed thinking when I should have been sleeping, treating a best friend as if I hated her, and doing other such things. I think about it, and most of the things I have done in the past were self-centered. "The good of the one over the good of the many." I don't like the way I have been. I could have changed. I chose not to. Now is the time for the change. I am going to be less selfish, and I am going to start treating people the way they should be treated. I would just like to apologize for any wrongs I have made towards any of you. I should have left my problems in my head rather than do things to other people out of jealousy, anger, bitterness, and envy. I am sorry. Well, Stephee and Jenny, that's my post. Love and hugs, everyone.

Many apologies

I am sorry I haven't updated for such a long time. In fact, you will have to wait longer because I am going to bed very shortly. The only new thing is I am drama club Vice-President, and auditions are in swing right now. Well, I am gonna go take a crap, then I am gonna go to bed. Talk to you all later, hopefully. I am a very busy person. Well, love and hugs.

Question...

Well, now that school will be starting, I just thought I would try to make my life a little easier by eliminating some unnecessary things. I am talking about my quotation blog. Do you want me to keep it, or should I just abandon it? It all depends on whether or not you read it. I will keep it if you want me to. Just leave a comment telling me whether or not I should keep it or abandon it.
Well, I was going to post more, but I am off to bed. I'll talk more later. I work in casual dining from 1-9 tomorrow. Feel free to come and visit me.

End of Summer Drama?

Well, this is probably not going to be a long post because I am tired. Lately, I have noticed a lot of drama between friends. Is it end-of-summer drama? You know, kinda like end-of-schoolyear drama? Just an observation.
Well, I am officially ready for school: mentally and physically. I got lots of new school clothes, and all my supplies. Plus, I am ready for the stress of the senior year. It'll be a fun experience.
I have been working lately, and tonight I am going over to Chase's house tonight for the party for the people who helped him move into his new house. Yay! My parents just left for camping. They get back on Sunday. This weekend, I hope to get my laundry done...yeah, we'll see if that actually happens.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I got a haircut today after work. It's much shorter. I haven't decided if I like it yet. Only time will tell.
Well, I don't want to type anymore, so I will just leave you some words for thought from my Mom's "Women's Thought of the Day Calendar".
"Longing for things to be different clearly means that we are not accepting them as they are."
Wow, very true....

Friend or Fake?

I bet you are wondering what that title means...well, maybe you are not. Well, it's very simple. Sometimes I wish there was a way to tell whether someone is your true friend or if they are just faking it. Even though they may act like your friend, and do all the things that a true friend would, they just are missing one thing. What is it? I have no clue, but it holds the essence of friendship. So, until I figure everyone out, I am just going to keep smiling and moving on with life. Oh yeah, If you are in "The Core" you are already figured out, so don't worry.

Moving on... Today was an average summer day. Geoff screamed obscenities out the window. I drove everyone around. Craig, Geoff, and I played video games. Well, Geoff played them. I watched. Kyle, Geoff, and I drove to Renner to return "Signs" to Pam Degelau. She wasn't home so we put it in her mailbox, and put a note on it. Then, we went back to Craig's house.

At Craig's house, Geoff, Chase, Craig, Kyle, Aaron, and I were going to watch "Resident Evil." We were really looking forward to watching it, since we had went to all the trouble of going to Geoff's brother's apartment to borrow it. Tonight was a test of my nerves. I really am proud of myself. I didn't say the things that were on my mind. I let others do the blatantness. Geoff and I held strong....well, I did. I quickly left Craig's after the movie. And, if it looked like I was avoiding something...you're right. I left and played my much needed, happy song. Thank you, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. On my way home, I saw Hale and Lindsey Bruse. I asked if they wanted to hang out, but Hale had to be home at 11. Ha, I laugh at you minors. Ha. When I walked into the door of my house, my family was there. Pleasant people to be with compared to my other option. I talked to my mom and dad. We had a small argument, but that is to be expected when you don't see each other for days upon end, and you live in the same house.

Tomorrow is an exciting day in my household. We are getting a new oven! Yes, it may seem like nothing to some people whose parents seem to have money flowing out of the faucet of their homes, but to my parents, it is an exciting change. We have lived in the house for 17 years. For that whole time, we used the stove that came with the house. An ugly, brown, gas-leaking stove. And, the other day, my dad came home and said that we were getting a brand-new gas stove. I am so excited. I am so excited about it, I am going to leave you the link to it. Maytag Gemini
Love and hugs.

You Can't Stop the Beat...literally

Well, I am sitting her at 3:24AM, and I don't want to go to sleep yet. Yesterday was the Show Choir retreat, which fully charged up my enthusiasm for the school year to start. I can't stop singing the songs. Plus, my mind seems to be only on show choir lately. I heard "Footloose" at work, and it gave me this warm feeling. It was the feeling you get when you find out that your crush likes you back. Or, when you know that everything will be alright. Overall, it made my day so much better.
Geoff and I spoke on the phone last night. It was a good talk. We talked about people and the usual, stupid things they do. Some people never learn. But, I love them anyway.
Well, I am going to go to bed. Or, maybe I will continue watching TechTV? Who knows. There is more I want to say, but then again, I don't want to say it. (I am adapting like the Borgs from Star Trek, and trying to better myself. ((Which means, not being blatant....well, no being as blatant.))) Love and hugs.

Quotes

I was reading Chase's blog, and I heard him say how his blog was his comfort. I find some comfort in my blog, but lately, I have been finding comfort in quotes. If I don't like the quote, and I don't get any comfort from it, I can just brush it off saying, "The author is too cynical." But, then I find a quote that gives me comfort. It is just what I want to hear.

AND, SPEAKING OF QUOTES, I JUST UPDATE MY QUOTATION BLOG. YOU CAN FIND THE LINK TO IT ON THE RIGHT OF THE PAGE IN THE LINKS. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT AND MAYBE EVEN MAKE SOME COMMENTS ON IT.
So, I am going to go to bed. Actually, I am just going to read some more from 1984 by George Orwell. Wonderful man. Excellent author. Terrific book. Love and hugs.

Charge what?!?

Well, this morning was the Rough Rider Charge. I hate going to that. Hey, guess what guys? I am officially at a high risk of being fat. They tried being nice about it, but I saw right through it. It sucks, but I don't really care. Thus, I am fat. I saw a bunch of people and I got my schedule. It goes as follows:

1. Precalc Wettlaufer
2. AP Biology Becker (Yay!)
3. AP World History Holmes
4. Executive Suite/Lunch Mitchell
5. Concert Choir DK
6. Advanced Comp Hansen
7. British Lit. Unknown

If you have any of the same classes as me, post a comment, and let me know what classes I have with you. I am at Chase's house right now. I just was working on my show choir music, and "You Can't Stop the Beat" is very easy. However, "You Raise Me Up" is a little tricky at parts, but it is definitely in our level. So, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Anyway, after the school crap, Geoff and I went to Starbucks for coffee with Kyle and Chance. It was pretty tasty. We needed it, especially that early in the morning. Oh, before I forget, I was also kinda pissed off. My locker is different. It isn't anywhere near where it was. Hopefully it is in a more convenient location. I already scoped it out, so who knows. Tonight I have absolutely nothing going on, so if anyone wants to do something, let me know. I am up for anything....except sex. I am not in the mood today...

Recently, I have decided that I am ready for school to start. I miss not having anything to do. I need some stress in my life. I don't like that I have time to think. Thinking is a curse sometimes. Especially with me. I always think about relationships and whatnot, and then it makes me sad. Thus, I need stress and school to keep my mind occupied. Or, just some shiny object.

Another random tangent...Star Trek. Lately, Chase, Geoff, Craig, and I have been in the mood to watch Star Trek movies. We started with the newest and are working our ways back to the beginning. It has been interesting thus far. I never knew that they could be so entertaining. That confirms it...I am definitely a geek.

Show choir...I miss it terribly. I miss all the dancing, and all the people. It is going to be quite the interesting year. Between new members and lack of old members, it should prove to be very....interesting. I am looking forward to the retreat. I can't wait to see the entire group together like a....family! Geoff, we may have some serious assimilation to do. Resistance is futile.

Call my house tonight if you want to do anything. I will be home at about 7 o' clock...probably. I want to keep typing, but I have nothing left to type. So, I shall bid you all adieu. Love and hugs all around.

Nothing Left...

Well, this is going to be a different post than normal. I am actually going to steal Ashley's post. This is the exact post Ashley Ludewig posted tonight, and it really made a lot of sense to me. I hope it makes as much sense to you as it does to me.

Why is it such a preposterous idea that two people should meet eachother and be able to have an uncomplicated, happy, functional and uneventful relationship?  It seems so rare that two can get together at just the right time anymore, whether it's because one is currently attatched, too recently un-attatched, moving away, or unintersted all together.  It drives me mad. Additionally, why are teenagers built with this idea that the person they choose to be in a relationship with now is the most important decision they will ever have to make.  Honestly, why can I not be frivolous and just go with the flow?  I feel the need to decipher the pros, cons, possibility of longevity, how my friends will feel, what my family will think, and what effect it could have on the rest of my life--versus doing what my heart says and doing what feels good and right.  I say a person should never be given more than one relationship option at a time.  Save us all the trouble of having to choose between two. You know, a funny thing about our group is how gossipy we are.  None of us can deny it, either.  I think we feed off of it to tell you the truth.  We all suck the juicy information from eachother and then move on to the next social gathering or call someone else and share what we've uncovered.  Like a swarm of bees pollenating a group of flowers.  It's amazing.  I don't really mind, though, I think we somehow get some satisfaction out of knowing what we think no one else does. The reason I bring this up is because I've been recieving a lot of the "pollen" lately and some of it is... well... upsetting.  I know that logic says, "Well, it is gossip, so odds are it isn't true."  However, I have witnessed it firsthand so there is no doubt.  The most truthful reasons for this particular news to be hurtful, or the news itself, cannot be posted here because, well... frankly, it involves a reader and I'm not going to broadcast it to everyone.  (You'll all have to wait until it trickles down the grapevine.)  It's hard to explain because it involves a very precious piece of myself that has been essentially played down and belittled.  Whether or not it has been done knowingly I will not know because I'm not sure I'll ever get to the point where I can openly confront this person.    Before I dwell on this subject anymore I will move on. In eleven days it is "Rough Rider Charge" day.  On that day the RHS class of 2005 will get our schedules for our senior year, buy our final parking tags, take our last yearbook picture, and all of this in probably half an hour less.  Such a momentous occasion crammed into half an hour.  To me, this event signifies the beginning of the end.  Or the beginning of the beginning if you like.   Ten months from now we'll be watching eachother march up an aisle in the arena, grabbing a piece paper, shaking some hands, and moving on to the next phase of our lives.  "Ashley Marie Ludewig..."  A lot can happen in 10 months.  Surely, some of us will start relationships, end relationships, be relationship-less, and be in relationship-overdrive.  "Katie Rose Fritz..."  One of us will probably lose a loved one.  "Melissa Marie Huntsinger..."  (Odds are it's me because all four of my grandparents are pretty ill.)  Who among us will be going to the college of their dreams? "Geoffrey ------ Nixon..."  Which of us is going to be famous? "Sean ----- McCain..."  I know one of us will be. "Jacob ------ Grauf..."  Thinking about all the amazing, heartbreaking, memory-making things that are about to happen excites and scares me.  The future is knocking on our door.  Who has the courage to open it? Sorry I don't know any of you boys' middle names. I think I'm going to make the conscious choice to change something about my life.  I think I'm going to be more open about how I feel about people.  It's going to take work, it'd probably be graduation day before I'd tell someone I love them. (Speaking hypothetically of course.)  If I were to die randomly one day, I want to have no regrets.  It's better to regret something you did than to regret  something you never had the courage to do.  I think I'm going to go on a crusade to tell each and every person what they mean to me.  Don't worry if I don't get to you soon.  That probably means you're just harder to say.  That or I don't see you often enough.I want to keep going but I think I'll stop because I think this post is getting a little to long.  I love you all.  For once I think I really truly mean that.

New pants make me feel pretty while I save lives.

Well, as you can probably tell from the title of my blog, I got some new pants. Yes, everyone, Sean bought his first pair of Express jeans. I love them. "They hug in all the right places." LOL j/k I like them because, as Katie and Weeza pointed out, they make me look less fat. I also bought some new work pants. Dickies, from Hot Topic. I like them, but I am definitely going to wash them before I wear them because they have a very rough texture.

Well, you may be wondering why I said that my pants make me feel pretty while I save lives. It's simple. Tonight, Craig, Geoff, and I are going to go donate blood at the hospital. It'll be fun. I am looking forward to it. Especially since I am doing it because I want to, and not because people are forcing me to do it. Well, I have successfully finished this blog post without saying any of the mean comments that are going through my head right now. Don't worry, they are probably not about you...or are they? Lots of love.

Surprise!

Well, a blog update is probably in order. The events of the last couple days have been quite exciting. Let's start with Wednesday. It appeared to be just a regular day at play practice. And it was. Play practice was totally normal, minus the strange behavior of people throughout the day. I knew something was up, but I wasn't quite sure what it was.

After play practice, I drove over to Craig's house, and sat outside in my van while waiting for he and Geoff to arrive at his house. During my wait, I spotted Mr. DK walking across the parking lot of the Mormon church. I drove upto him and I could tell he wanted a ride, so I just came out and asked him if he needed a ride. He quickly said, "sure." He got in, and we had a little small talk on the way to his house. I dropped him off and headed back to Craig's house.

Right after I arrived at Craig's, they pulled up. We went into Craig's basement and played XBox as usual. Craig then got a phone call from "Geoff's Grandpa," saying that we could head over to the hotel that "Geoff's grandparents were staying at." We departed, and I headed to my car to drive to the Americinn Hotel, and Geoff told me that I had to ride with him. I immediately knew something was up. I insisted that I drive since "my mom was preparing me homemade macaroni and cheese," as I requested for my birthday dinner, and I would need to leave "his grandparent's hotel room" early. We then walked up the stairs to room 201. Geoff, earlier, told me that he had a key to the room. When we got to the room, he knocked on the door, and said, "We're here!" When the door was opened, I was surprised to see my family sitting in the room on the couches, and yelling, "Surprise!"

I then began giving them hugs and all, and the double doors in the hotel opened up and my friends from the summer show cast and some of my best friends yelled, "Surprise!," as well. I was shocked to see them all there. I was very delighted too. There was tons of food, and many presents for me! I just want to say to Craig: Thank you for convincing my mom to unground me that night, and for helping her with the party. Geoff: Thanks for inviting friend to the party! Chase: Thanks for acting dumb, and not telling me anything. Everyone else: Thanks for being there! I truly felt loved, and almost wanted to cry. Thanks for making me feel special on my 18th birthday party. To those who didn't attend: Sorry for not hearing about it. If you want, you are still invited to my party at Cool Beans on Saturday, July 24th, at noon. I will be there.

Well, that sums up the day of the party. Now, onto Thursday. Thursday was opening night of "Get Smart." The show went well, and after the show, we went to Perkins. It felt odd not having to rush home before curfew. Ahhhh, the joys of being 18. It still feels weird though. After leaving Perkins, Chase, Amy Jorgensen, and I planned on watching The Company. We originally planned on watching it out at Amy's house, but Weeza called and said we could have it at her house. Since we loved her so much, we decided to go to her house instead. The movie had no plotline, but the ballet dancing was so cool. It was a wonderful night. I enjoyed the movie, and the company very much. We shall have to do it again. You guys are so fun to hang out with. I love you.
Tonight was the night of the play, and we performed very well. We had one tech mixup, however. A certain person decided that she would slam the door, and make it fold the wrong way on the hinges. The door decided that it wouldn't open, and chase had to improv a reason why it wouldn't. He did very well. After the performance, we went to Cracker Barrell. The service was so much friendlier than it was at Perkins, and we got out before they closed at 11. We then went to HyVee so Geoff could check his schedule and pick up his pay stub. Chase and I just walked around the store randomly. Weeza called, and asked us if we could pick her up before we went to Craig's house. I said that it wouldn't be a problem, and we picked her up, and proceeded to Craig's house.

At Craig's house, we watched Geoff and Craig play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Weeza seemed bored, and to tell you the truth, I was a little bored. Geoff livened up the night by sexually assaulting Weeza. You know, the usual Geoff activites.

Now, I am at home, typing this extremely long post. I think I shall go upstairs and write in my journal. *is reminded of Weeza and smiles* Thanks Weeza!

Come and see "Get Smart" tomorrow night! I love you, and hope your days are filled with wonderful people like mine.

Suspicion

This is going to be very short. I have a feeling that something is going on behind my back. I hope that it isn't what I think it is. OH yeah, before I forget. Geoff, we have to cancel coffee on Wednesday night. I have family coming over at 7:30PM, and my mom is making me a birthday dinner. Homemade macaroni and cheese, as I requested! Yummy. We can do coffee after the family leaves. Call me when you read this.

Who Knows?

So, yeah, I am sitting here, watching "Jerry Maguire." I got invited twice to go hang out with friends, and, for some strange reason, I don't feel like going out tonight. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I got 5 hours of sleep. Who knows. I am really tired, and don't feel like being around people. My family came home from camping today, and I came out right away and told how I had friends spend the night. They didn't care. Maybe they are beginning to trust me...? Who knows. I am just chatting with Cali, Ashley, Jacob, and Linsdey from work. I have the feeling where I am bored, but then I have the feeling that I am sick. Maybe I am. Who knows? To the friends who keep asking what I want for my birthday: I don't know what I want for my birthday. If you want ideas either ask Weeza, Geoff, or Chase. They know me very well, and might be able to come up with some idea. If all else fails, give me money; money always works.Well, before I leave, I just wanna say sorry to Weeza for being rude to you. It may have felt like I was blowing you off, but I just didn't wanna hang out with anyone, I dont' know why though. Who knows? Well, I love you all; I hope you had a lovely evening.

Another Update

Well, I updated tonight. At first, it may not look like much since this post will probably be short. However, I did update my link bar at the right. I added some names, and some names I still need to find out their new address for their blogs. Well, I was scheduled to work 2-9 tonigh, but I ended up staying until 10 because Aaron, my manager, asked me. It sucked, but I got over it. Right now, Craig and Geoff are both sleeping in different parts of my living room. This weekend was lots of fun. Especially since my family was out of town. I had people spend the night every night.
Yeah, I shaved off the Mexi-stache. It was getting disgusting, and I hated it. It didnt' grow long enough anyway, and it didn't add to my character. If Mr. Hanzen wants a mustache, I'll draw it in like I did last year. Anyway, I am disappointed that no one has commented on my large post before this one. Maybe because they have more important things distracing them....
Anyway, tomorrow is play practice. Oh yeah, did I mention, I TURN 18 IN 3 DAYS. Well, 2 if you count today as tomorrow already. But, I haven't gone to sleep yet. Anyway, my birthday party is at Cool Beans at noon on Saturday, July 24th. Be there! *flashes back to Mr. Quick's announcements, and is filled with dread at the thought of school*
Hmmm....I think I summed up my past couple days! And here's a reminder: Don't forget to Check my quotations blog and my poetry blog.  I try to update quotations every other day or so. The poetry blog depends on when I feel inspired. I haven't felt inspired in a while. I am too tired right now, anyway. Don't forget to comment on my blogs, and let me know that you are still out there and care for me. Well, I am going to bed. I guess it turned into a semi-longish post. Oh well. I love you, and hope you have a wonderful week!
P.S. See the play at Roosevelt. 7:30PM July 22, 23, 24. Tickets $5 general admission. I hope to see you there! 

Disappointment haunted all my dreams....

Well, everyone. I finally got my AP test scores back. I received a 1 on the AP History test. *damns Mrs. Leistra to Hell* And here's the real shocker: I got a 2 on the AP Lit and Comp test! *smacks self in face* I thought that one was easy! What the hell did I do wrong? I'd like to see my test and what I got right and wrong. Obviously I sucked if I got only a 2. Oh well, life goes on.
Today was the day we had Audrey Anderson's surprise birthday party. She had no clue what was going on. I loved it. Weeza came over with her cousin, Peter, who I haven't seen since our trip to St. Olaf. It was nice to see him again. He's pretty fun to hang out. I hope we get the chance while he's in town.
Anyway, tomorrow I am going to be seeing. I, Robot. I cant' wait. The previews look so cool. I am going to mow the lawnn tomorrow. (Something I haven't done in forever.
Guess what everyone! I turn 18 on July 21st! Yay! I can't wait to be exempt from the damn curfew law. Everyone is invited to my party that my bestest buddy, Geoff is throwing for me. I am not sure exactly what to expect, since he is highly unpredictable. My party is at Cool Beans on Saturday, July 24th, at noon. I hope everyone can come!
While I am throwing dates out at you all, I may as well pitch what I have been spending the past month doing everyday from 1-6. Everyone is invited to see "Get Smart" at Roosevelt High School at 7:30PM. The performance dates are July 22, 23, 24. I hope you all can come! We need people to come so we can continue our summer theatre program. Plus, you will love it, since I am in it. I play, Agent 44. The best way to describe my character is a whiney bitch who gets all the grunt jobs that no one else wants.
Hmmm....What else is there to talk about? Well, I work this weekend. My parents are going camping tomorrow for the weekend. YAY! More peace and quiet.
Well, I dont' know what to talk about, but I still want to write. Lately, I have been working on college stuff. I am applying for scholarships already. Blah. I hate it. I decided what I am going to go to college for. I am going to be a high school teacher of a subject yet unknown to me. Thus, I will major in Secondary Education and Theatre or English. I am not sure yet. We'll see how it goes. I decided that I am almost ready for school to start again. The way I see it, the sooner we go back to school, the sooner I can graduate and get the hell out of there.
One thing that I loved about the summer is that there was no drama, until recently. Why do people have to be dumb? If they hear something, it is probably best not to tell people that would take offense or be hurt by it. People suck....like Marisa. (Sorry had to throw it in there.)
Well, I am going to try to get some sleep. You know what they say...Early to bed, early to rise. Haha. I wish that applied to my summer sometimes. LOL. Anyway, I love you all, as a mother loves her child. (Yes, that much.)

Relisting My Ideals

In my life I am going through something like the maintenence of a computer. I am going through and prioritizing things in my life and deleting things from my list of things to accomplish, and even adding to it. I am removing things from my life that don't serve a positive purpose. This takes lots of work and thought. If I seem distant, don't fret. I am just thinking about other things, and don't want to be disturbed. Also, I am making things in my live flow easier. I hope to apply to my colleges before school starts. I want to get this out of the way. I also want to start looking for scholarships, and making plans for college. Well, we have play practice tomorrow, but before that, Chase and I are going jogging. It's going to be a good time. It's nice to have some one-on-one time. I hope to have a nice conversation with him. Well, I am going to go. A friend needs to talk to me. I love you.

A Call For Help

I try not to do it. I make an honest attempt at it. But, when push comes to shove, I do it anyway. Why? I don't like the bitterness, but just one annoyance sends me down the highway of bitterness. I am going to stop the bitterness. I ask you, my true friends to stop it. Although it may be warranted, I hate it, and ask for your help to stop it. Just make me gag, or slap me on the wrist. I would appreciate it, because I don't want to destroy something so wonderful.

Realizations

I am at craig's house. Today is a wonderful day, it is payday. I got paid $139.00. YAY! Well, I spent the night at Craig's house last night, and now, we are just going to get ready to go to the bank, so I can get some cash out of the bank. We have play practice at one, and I need to go early so I can fix something to prevent my death. I just realized that I have to pee, and Geoff and Craig are taking up both bathrooms. Speaking of realizations, I have come to some realizations in my life. You can ask me about them, if you want, and I might tell you. But, there are some people I just will not tell, for reasons of my own. I really have to pee. Well, I better just get going, because I don't want to type anymore, and because I have to piss.

Reliability

Well, my parents came back from camping today. They knew that friends spent the night, but they didn't care at all. According to my old neighbor, there were lots of girls over here. LOL. Jacob, it's time for a haircut. I really wowed my parents when I showed them my room. Thanks for the help with cleaning my room, Jacob. I appreciate it.
Well, the night my mom and dad left, Jacob, Chase, Craig, and Geoff spent the night. We had a lot of fun. We ate multiple bags of chips. Chase ate a half of a box of fudge bars. We ended up staying up until 6ish. It was funny, because my living room has a lot of windows. It got kinda bright in there.
The following night, we stayed at my house, yet again. We did the same stuff that night too. Including going to sleep at 6ish. Well, on the fourth, Geoff and I worked 4-10. After work, we got some food, and then we proceeded out to Renner to Pam Degelau's house. We had a lot of fun out there. At about 2am, we went to Craig's house, and spent the rest of the night there. We woke up at 12:30, and then we went to play practice. I developed my character a little more, and it's gonnna be funny.
Over these days, I realized that I can rely on everyone and everything in my life to not change. They never change, they are always the same. It can be both a comfort and a nuisance. Play practice is always 1-6, and I see the same people. Work is always dumb, no matter how many friends are working. Summer is always lazy, no matter how hard I try to wake up early and get some stuff done around the house. And, I can always rely on Geoff, Chase, and Craig to hang out with me. I can always rely on my family to not get along with each other. I can always count on my friends to do the same stuff to me that they have always done. Reliability, what an amazing thing...or is it?

My Stupid Mouth

I believe that the song "My Stupid Mouth," by John Mayer, has a lot of meaning to it. I never seem to be able to follow through with the ideals in that song. Well, here is the song that describes my situation down to every last period.

my stupid mouth has got me in trouble
I said too much again
to a date over dinner yesterday
and I could see she was offended
she said "well anyway"
just dying for a subject change

oh, another social casualty
score one more for me
how could I forget
mama said "think before speaking"
no filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

we bit our lips
she looked out the window
rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess
with the salt and pepper shaker
and I could see clearly
an indelible line was drawn
between what was good, what just slipped out
and what went wrong

oh, another social casualty
score one more for me
how could I forget
mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

I'm never speaking up again
it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
oh, I'm never speaking up again
starting now

one more thing
why is it my fault?
so maybe I try too hard
but it's all because of this desire
I just want to be liked; I just want to be funny
look like the joke's on me
so call me Captain Backfire

oh, another social casualty
score one more for me
how could I forget
mama said "think before speaking"
no filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

I'm never speaking up again
it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
oh, I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
starting now

I Said a Prayer For You Today

This is a poem, I don't know who wrote it, but it was one of my grandma's favorite poems. It has been on our refrigerator for a long time, and I never really read it. But, recently, I read it, and it fits for what I pray for my friends, each and everyday. I love you all!

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard-
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)-
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small-
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

Well, once again I am just sitting around the house wearing only my boxers. It's nice when I can be that lazy. I have play practice in about an hour. Ben Kramer is going to give me a ride, since my car has absolutely no gas in it. I CAN WRITE CHECKS TOMORROW! YAY! Tomorrow I have play practice, but after that, I am going shopping with Kacie to pick up...some...stuff. Since she is going to come with me, I decided I would take her out for dinner or coffee too. It's going to be fun. Kacie is fun to hang out with, and I haven't gotten to talk to her lately. It'll be a grand old time to catch up on the goings on in hers and my life. I should get in the shower now. Lately, I haven't been shaving because of the laziness of summer, but I am getting tired of looking like a dirty Mexican. I don't think I have let the dirty Mexican mustache grow this long before. It's sicky as Stephanie and Weeza would say. =) Anyway, I am going to go get ready. I love you all very much.

Agent 44

Well, today was the first day of play practice for the summer show. We did all our auditioning today, and even found out what our parts were. I am Agent 44, a secret agent working on the good guy's side. I am stuck with all the grunt jobs like hiding under tables, in garbage cans, and such. I complain a lot about my job, and I often cry. It's going to be a fun role to play. I am looking forward to it. Congrats to Chase for being Maxwell Smart (lead role). Well, I don't want to type anymore. I love you lots.

Free man

Hello all. I am now a free man. I just got done doing two days in the McCain Penitentiary. My mom went on another power trip, and grounded everyone. Today at work I was working, and I heard the song The Reason and it made me smile because of the message behind it. (No comments, Chase) Because of that song, my day was awesome. Work didn't seem like work. It was a wonderful day. After work, I came home and had Subway for supper. Then, I went over to AJ's house to hang out with Nick, AJ, Ashley, and Craig. Then, when AJ kicked us out of her house, we went to Walmart. We walked around a little, and then Chase picked out an expansion pack to Civilization III. Then, we went to the self check-out. It was fun, even though Chase messed it up. Then, we went to Craig's house and sat around, until I had to go home. Now, I am sitting here, waiting for someone to come online, because I want to talk to them. They must be at work... So sad....=(

Love Actually, is all around

Well, last night, I spent the night at Craig's house with Geoff, Chase, and Craig. First, we watched Fight Club, and when that was over, we watched one of the greatest movies ever: Love Actually. If you ever are sad, just watch that movie, and you will be happy. If there is anyone special in your life, you will think of that person so much during that movie, and you will feel like crying just because they aren't with you. Anyway, I am going to stop talking about this. It is making me feel like I want to cry.
Well...today we plan to go see Mr. Pope. Then, we are going to go back to the school for crew call. I hope to be able to talk to or see some certain person today, because I always feel that I need to see them. Anyway, I better get going. I love you. Have a great day, I know I will.

Wonderful Surprises

I don't feel like writing much. I am in an extremely good mood. I worked tonight, and it was an OK mood then, but after work, I found a note on my car, and that made my night so much better. I love surprises like that. They make me want to cry and smile at the same time. Well, I don't have much else to report. I love you, you secret note-leaver. Thanks for everything. Oh yeah, to my other readers, well, I love you too....kinda. LOL

Sean McCain: Ultimate Blogging Trend-setter

Well, it's official. I am a blog trend-setter. The other day, I decided to try the new Audioblogger feature, and guess what? Now everyone has one! It's OK, I can't blame you all for wanting to be like the sexy piece of human flesh that I am. (teehee) Anyway, I have had a wonderful past couple of days. Let's see. Yesterday, I didn't do very much at all. The only thing really worth-while would probably be going over to Weeza's house to watch Mona Lisa Smile, which is a wonderful movie. After the movie, everyone but Chase and I left. Weeza's dad's flight was delayed, so he wouldn't be home until 1ish. So, being the wonderful friend that I am (LOL), decided to make Chase stay (he was my ride)so we could keep her company. She gets scared being alone, and I wouldn't want her to be scared. Anyway, we looked at some pictures of Weeza when she was younger. (Don't worry, these lips are sealed.) Chase played some piano, Weeza played some piano. I listened. Then, we sat around and talked. Her dad came home, so we left. It was a very fun night.
Today, I worked. But, before work, Jenny Roth invited me to coffee with her, Kacie Meyers, and Chelsea Graber. We had a lot of fun. Very nice discussions too. We should hang out again soon. It was tons o' fun. And, then after work, I went to Sherman Park to watch a softball game with the gang. We then, proceeded to Walmart. After Walmart, Chase, Craig, Geoff, and I went on a covert operation, and then we rented Office Space. Very hilarious movie. Well, I am tired of typing. I shall be thinking of all of you. Love you all.

Poem

I was surfing the Internet for poetry, and I came across this one. I didn't write it, but it really made me feel good inside.

So Easy

Whisper to me
The infinite language of our hearts.
Uplift me
With your joyful smile.
It's the little things you do
That make loving you
So easy.

-Emily Coombs

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Have a nice day. I love you.

Same-sex unions?

Well, today was the day at the Synod Gathering that we started delving into the same-sex ordination and unions. It was a very interesting day. I went to a pro-same-sex workshop, and a anti-same-sex workshop. The anti-homosexual workshop was called: Three contrasting viewpoints of homosexuality. I thought it would provide 3 opposing and supporting viewpoints. Man, was I wrong. I listened to a guy ramble off statistics that said homosexuality was a disease and it was treatable. He also said that the reason we have gay children is because of the school district. He said it encourages them. Well, I disagree with that since I am a student, and I haven't been encouraged to be a homosexual.
On the flip-side, I listened to this ordained minister talk about how the Bible doesn't say that same-gender unions are wrong and immoral. What the Bible does say, however, is that prostitution, the use of callboys, and other sex slaves is immoral and wrong. When the Bible said in Leviticus 20, "When a man lays in a bed with another man, they have both made an abomination." it was referring to the time, in Greek history, when little boys between the ages of 12 and 15 were sold as slaves to be used for sexual acts. There are only 6 verses in the Bible that mention homosexuality, and they are referring to the Greek usage rather than the same-gender unions.
I have listened to both sides of the story, and I believe that same-gender unions should be allowed in the ELCA (the Evangelical Lutheran Churches of America). I have prepared a little speech to say in front of the Synod, and tomorrow, when we discuss the issue, I will be discussing it, and voting pro-same-gender unions and ordination.
There was more I planned on saying, but it will have to wait, since I just forgot what it was. Love all around.

Swirling Mind

I told some people that I would be updating tonight, but my mind is in a swirl. I hope you understand. I did update my quote blog. That might appease your thirst for Sean. LOL I sat down to update my blog, but there were so many things to say, and so many things I don't want to say. I need time to organize them as not to say things I shouldn't. Love you all.

Long time, no...blog?

Well, tonight I decided to update my blogs. This blog, is the first. But, if I don't update the others, oh well, I'll do it when I feel motivated. Today was a good day. I woke up around 10ish and did nothing all morning. It was very relaxing. Well, before I get started with my actual events of the day, I will just talk about some other things. Recently, I heard some information from a friend of mine that explained a lot of the occurances going on in my social life. It really lets me know why certain people do certain things at certain times. Some things just never change. Sound vague? Good. Thanks Jacob.
Onto more important points of conversation. Isn't it fun to watch the grass grow? Just kidding. I got ready for the day by taking a shower and getting dressed in my studly Express shirt. I proceeded by waiting for Geoff and Craig's phone call. Meanwhile, my dad told me to get a check from him and get the CD Player out of the wagon. So, I went to Ultimate Electronics to get it removed. Geoff and I pulled up with Courtney to the back of the store. We walked into the workshop and there was one guy in there. We told him that we were the people who called about getting a CD Player removed. He recognized the phone call and dug in his toolbox to get two small pieces of metal. He walked out to my car and got in the front seat and put the pieces of metal on each side of the the CD Player. It easily slid out. So, he unplugged the wires and got out and said, "Have a nice day!" Geoff and I stood there confused. Free of charge? Cool.
We continued to Peking Chinese Restaurant to get some lunch. We went in, and enjoyed a meal and conversation with Elise. Well, we paid and left the restaurant. While trying to start Courtney, I was frustrated to find out that the key would not turn. We called Craig's mentoring teacher, Mrs. Rindsig. She came and picked us up. Not only did she pick us up, but she took Craig, Geoff, and I out to coffee. Then, she took us to Craig's car, and we asked her if she needed any help with packing up her room. We went over to Oscar Howe, and we helped pack up boxes and all that good stuff. After that, we went to go get my car at Peking. I got there, and found that it started right away. It's funny how things work sometimes.
Well, we went to HyVee to check our schedules for this upcoming week, and so I could find someone to work for me this weekend because I have the Synod gathering and the RenFest this weekend. We decided to have a grill-out at Craig's house. We got brats and BBQ chicken. Also, we bought some strawberry cheesecake. I cooked everything. After our feast, we went downstairs in the basement to watch Chicago. Since Chase hadn't seen it before. When the movie ended, Chase and I had to leave because of the parental units. Well, that about sums it up. I am just sitting here talking to Chase, Jennilee, and Samantha. Now, I am going to read everyone else's blogs. Then, maybe I will write some poems and update my other blogs. Love all around.

Love Song For No One

This song shows my thoughts on my love life right now. Even though this song is kinda depressing, my life couldn't get much better.
I have created yet ANOTHER blog. The link is located to the right. Click on "My Poetry." This blog is where I post poetry that I have written. I want you all to visit and make some comments. Even though all negative comments will be disregarded because I don't care about your opinions.
Thanks,
Mr. Blatant

staying home alone on a Friday
flat on the floor looking back
on old love
or lack thereof

after all the crushes have faded
and all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it

I'm tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here
so tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here

searching all my days to find you
not sure what I'm looking for
I'll know where
when I see you

until then I'll hide in my bedroom
just staying up all night just to write
a love song
for no one

I'm tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here
so tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
could I have missed my chance and watched you walk away

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
could I have missed my chance and watched you walk away

I'm tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here
so tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here

you'll be so good
you'll be so good for me
I know you'll be so good
for me
for me

Would you like my tasty weiners?

Today, after school, Chase, Steph, and Louisa came over to my house for lunch. We had beans, ravioli, and hot dogs. These hotdogs were natural casing weiners. They had a red casing on the outside. Louisa was complaining about how they looked, but she ended up liking it.
*Fast Forward to after work*
After work, I met Chase at the mall. He hadn't eaten yet, so he picked up some food at Taco Johns in the food court. This is how the conversation went:
Me: ...and Louisa was bitching about the color of my weiner.
Girl glances backwards surprised at what she heard
Me: She knows it tasted good, she can't deny it.
Girl begins to grin and tries not to laugh as Chase and I realize she heard only part of the conversation and begin to laugh out loud.
I tell you what, it was the funniest thing ever. Anyway, I am tired. Tomorrow is the last day of school! YAY for summertime!
P.S. MY BLOG IS OFFICIALLY ONE YEAR OLD NOW! HUZZAH!

Mary Katherine, just because she makes me smile.

Erasing memories

Well, just now I did a very bold thing. I deleted my private blog. I have been typing in my private blog for a long time, and I wrote a lot of things in there, and I continually went back and read them. I would get pissed off every time I read it. So, I decided to get rid of those memories. I won't remember the times when I was extremely happy, and I won't remember the times when I was completely crushed and depressed. I don't want to remember them. They are being erased from my life forever, and I don't care. Well...that's all I guess.

Hello

I got this new cool program called Hello. I can upload pictures to it, and it automatically puts the pics in my blog. It's really nifty. Well, today I woke up to find out I didn't have much time to get ready for church. I got into the shower, and found out that my dad left without me. I got out and just got dressed. I would have driven to church, but my car is still at Amber's house. Oh well. I am waiting for Geoffrey to call me so we can go over to Katie's house. We were invited over there to eat supper. Yummy. Well, I just found out that Craig will be over to my house soon. I must depart. P.S. I updated my quotation blog again. Check it out.

Cresta and I at prom. Don't we look bitchin'? 

Empty heart, empty eyes

Well, Monday night was Drammies. It was a fun night. We performed "Mr. Flatulence" and it went well. We also performed "Look at Us." It went well also. Drammies was a night filled with tons of randomness. It was friggin' hilarious nonetheless. Anyway, I didn't cry until I saw the video of Mr. Pope in the hospital. It made me weep seeing the person I look up to as someone I wish I could be like when I am older in the hospital. He looked weak. Well, not all heros have to be strong. Senior moments emptied my eyes and emptied my heart of all feeling. I am going to miss the seniors although I know they will be moving on with their lives, trying to fulfill their goal of being like their hero. Time moves on. I am going to be updating my quotation blog and trying to make it look better. Check it out, and damn it, visit it and post comments, or I'll chop off your fingers and feed them to...Heather Burch.

Indulge yourself

Wow. Lately, I have been so happy, I could cry. I have been hanging out with Craig. I realized he is a wonderful guy. I love hanging out with him, he is so much fun. Not to mention, my parents love him. Anytime I come home late I just say, "I was with Craig," and I get off, punishment-free. Last night was the best night of my life. I am anticipating the summer. Three simple words are going to make this summer so much better: "I'm with Craig." Thanks a lot Craig, you're a pal. Well, this week is going to be a busy one. Monday: Drammies Tuesday: Spring Fling Chorus Concert (gag me) Wednesday: Hanging out with Craig and Jenny (probably) Thursday: Fine Arts Awards Banquet and Chicken Dinner Friday: Taste of Suite
As you can see, this is going to be a busy, yet fun week. I won't be able to hang out with the do-gooders as much. OOOOHHHH! I forgot a very important event of the week. On Thursday, we will be posting a coffee shop review of a certain coffee shop. You will want to get a hold of a copy of this one. YAY! *smiles* (OH no, I just said "*smiles*." Please shoot me before I get as annoying as....) Anyway, I am going to get going now. I need to go to bed. I have 7AM rehearsal tomorrow. Talk to you later. Lots of love, and don't forget....Indulge yourself.

School

I have found that school isn't really important to me right now. Especially since it is the end of the school year. I don't like thinking this, but I do. Even show choir, my favorite time of the day, is getting old. I am ready for summer.
I have noticed that not many people are reading my quote blog. READ IT AND COMMENT ON IT! I like reading your comments. Click ME!
Here's a poem that I thought you would like. Note to Jacob: This is the poem I was telling you about.
Flamingo Rising

In time you learn
that sometimes
you have to let other people
save you from yourself
and that everything isn't your fault.

In time you learn
to forgive yourself
and finally admit
it was an accident.
You did all you can.

In time you learn
that children grow up
and buildings fall down
that sunflowers grow tall
but die by winter's chill.

In time you learn
that each day you live
has a purpose
and some sort of meaning
and that life is a gift
that shouldn't
be taken for granted.

In time you learn
that though you may fail
you can always try again
and that only you
can make your dreams a reality.

In time you learn
it's the people you love
not the people you know
who really matter.

And though you may part
there's always tomorrow

In time you learn
to step forth
and admit that you were wrong
and accept your faults
and try to improve.

In time you learn
that you are loved
and though grief has come
you will rise
and overcome
your greates fears
and love again.

Playing for the World

Tonight was once again a night of reigning for the "Do-Gooders." In case you don't know what the "Do-Gooders" are, they are a group composed up of mainly Craig, Geoff, and I. As a part of this group, we travel around Sioux Falls doing things to make people laugh, smile, or just be happy while thinking about their childhood.
Tonight was a memorable night for us "do-gooders." We drove and picked lilacs at some house. They won't miss them. We then proceeded to Mrs. Votaw's house to give her some flowers, but she wasn't home. We, then, decided to go to Mrs. Benz's house to give her some flowers. As we passed over I-29 on 26th Street, we saw a man standing by the road playing guitar. We could tell he had a sign on, but we couldn't read it. We quickly made a U-turn and stopped while Geoff gave him some lilacs and told him to have a nice day. As we proceeded onwards towards Mrs. Benz's home, we decided that we needed to give him more than flowers. We would give him some Jellybeans that Craig had in his car. We turned around and gave him some Jellybeans. We then found out what his sign said. It read: Everbody needs help sometimes. I am trying to go home. Arriving at Mrs. Benz's house, we gave her some flowers and had a nice conversation about life in general. Mrs. Benz is a nice lady and a good teacher. She ranks up there with Mrs. Votaw and Mr. Pope. We told Mrs. Benz about our plan to stop and talk to the mysterious guitar player and give him a ride to wherever he needed. She told us to be careful and we promised we would. Parking by the guitarist, we got out and walked up to him. We started talking to him, and we asked him where home was. He said he was from Missouri. He said he was in San Diego and ran out of money on the way home from there. He was playing for gas money. I asked him how long he had been away from home, and he replied by saying, "Six months." He said he was in San Diego because he quit college in Missouri because it wasn't working for him. He said he just left and went to San Diego with his guitar and played there for a while. He played in a coffeeshop in order to make some money. He decided to come back home, but ran out of money. It makes me think, how can someone just leave their home in order to go see the world and play guitar? I wonder what would motivate someone to do something like that?
Well, after talking with him, Craig, Geoff, and I went to Falls Park to think. We climbed around on the rocks and walked around on the railroad tracks to a bike path. We talked a lot on the way, and just had an all-around good time. I hope to enjoy many other times like that. After I got home, instead of lying to my parents and telling them that I had worked, I told them the truth and didn't get into trouble. I was very pleased. My parents might understand life a little. I had a nice conversation with Craig, and he gave me some good advice. I am going to listen to him since he hasn't lead me astray yet. Well, I better get going. Lots of love all around.

Revelation on Theater

Sitting here reading my blog, I have decided to start writing my own play. It's going to be something interesting for me. Oh well, it will be a working project. Don't ask to be in it, I am not modeling the characters after anyone. Sorry. Lots of love.

Revamping of the Blog

Today I logged on to Blogger in order to update my blog as usual, but was happily surprised to see that they revamped the site. I was pleased to be able to rid myself from the old comments service to use the built-in comments. Also, I have decided to be like everyone else and add the post title to the blog. This was done for YOU, my readers so you can easily find the post in the Previous posts section located at the right side of the blog. Anywho, Geoff, Craig, Stephanie D., Chase, and AJ went to Shalom Ethiopian Coffeehouse, and had quite the experience. I am not going to say much about it now, but I will say more about it in the newspaper article on Wednesday. Speaking of which, I need to go type that up now. I will talk with you later. Lots of love.

Well, today was officially the longest shift I have worked in a long time. I was scheduled to work 10-6, but I ended up staying until after 7. OH well, more money. I trained Geoff in at casual dining. I am sure he did fine. After work, I went to the mall with Chase. He bought a present for his mommy. I helped him pick it out. We then went to Walmart so he could buy some clothes hangers. After that, we went to Cool Beans, and we sat down and played a game of chess. I won. Yay! I never win! Anyway, I work tomorrow 1-9, and it will suck because I don't want to work. OH well, I guess I don't have a choice. Well I am tired I am going to do a few more things online, and then I am going to bed. Night, and lots of love.

Well, tonight was fun. In fact, the last couple days have been fun. I have been carefree and just lived my life and enjoyed it. I have made a lot of changes in my life recently, and am happy to say that I am enjoying life more than I ever have. I've been doing a lot of sitting around and having philosophical discussions with Craig or other friends, and I am trying to get my life into order and weed out the bad things from the good things. This will (hopefully) make next year much smoother. My mom and I have been talking about senior pictures already (wow). It seems as if just yesterday was my first day at Roosevelt. My...how time passes. My only regret: Not joining theatre earlier. I cry sometimes thinking about how much opportunity I missed by not being involved in theatre. OH well, I can't dwell on the past, but I must push into the future. Lots of love.

Well, I am now online, and I am finding that absolutely no one else is on. I am kinda bored. But, I have kept myself busy by watching the "Friends" finale. It was pretty good. I almost felt like crying because I thought about how I will have to say goodbye to a bunch of people this year too. But, I can't cry now. (That's what Drammies are for.) I may act a little strange as the end of the year comes closer, but don't worry, I'll be OK. I just have to get over the fact that some of the most important people in my life will be going away, each taking their own separate paths. Even though our paths may cross in the future, they will never be as near to me as they have been for the past years. I am done talking about that for now. I updated my quotations blog today, and there is a wide variety of quotes. I suggest you check the site out.

Well, tomorrow is the AP History test...aka...Doomsday. I am pretty sure I am going to fail. I don't care either. And guess what!?! I found out that AP World History has a DBQ (Document Based Question) on that test too! Damn it! Oh well, I think World History will be much more entertaining. Anyway, I don't feel like updating this blog right now, but I will be updating my quote blog. Here it is: My Quote Blog

Well, today was the day of the AP Lit. and Comp. test. I arrived at Holy Cross at 7:20ish, and we went in, and waited for the test to start. After much confusion and stress on Dr. Hansen's part, she began to read the general instructions. Then, at 7:50, Ashley Blake, the drama queen strolled in. She made a huge deal that she had mono, and needed to be near the bathrooms. I can't stand her. She flips out about every little thing! *cough*Whiny bitch*cough* Well, after the test, which wasn't that bad, we went to Applebee's to eat. Steph E. and Amber had to sit at a different table, which was sad, but it was okay, I am sure they had fun. If not, then they are too picky. Anyway, after eating the yummy food, we went back to the school, and we had totally skipped concert choir. I guess I tied with some people for Concert Choir officer. Well, that's cool. I definitely have some suggestions to make for next year. I have high views to promote unitedy in the choir. Anyway, I am getting off topic again. The last two periods of the day were quite boring. I didn't pay attention at all. After school, Geoff, Steph D., Melissa, and Kurt went driving around to HyVee, and then we went to Renner. We went to see Pam out there, and then we ended up swinging on the swingset at the school. We then drove back into Sioux Falls, and we went to our separate housese which brings me here, sitting and talking to Maren and Jessica. Now, I am tired. I am going to go. Lots of love.

First Anniversary of My Blog: The Life of a Geek!
Yay! I have had this blog for a year. Well, officially not until the 25th, but I don't care. I now have a year's worth of archives! I am so excited. I have been looking forward to this month. And now, it is here. I have decided that I am going to rename my blog this year. It is now going to be: The Truth, According to Me. Yes, that shall be it. Anyway, now I will go back to talking about my day.
Well, I worked in casual dining 1-9 today. It was the busiest day I have ever seen. We had to bring 4 tables down from the breakroom because we ran out of room for the customers. Those tables are damn heavy! Then, I had to take them back upstairs, which was even worse since it is going upstairs. Well, now I am at home, and procrastinating going to bed. But, since I have the AP Lit. and Comp. test tomorrow, I really should go to bed. My knee hurts right now. I bruised it while helping Chase move yesterday. It's okay Chase, I won't sue. LOL Well, lots of love!

Well, let's see. What did I do today? I went to school, it was uber easy. I had absolutely no homework...unless you count algebra, but I do that during newspaper. Well, tonight I went to see our town! Kudos to everyone! Stephanie Tschetter, you did an awesome job. You have to comment in my blog if you read it, that's what I look forward to: coming home and seeing if I have comments. I even like reading the cynical responses to my outlook on life. (Even though I am right.) Anyway, the play was awesome. I cried. I am looking forward to seeing it again tomorrow. Well, after the play, we all went to Ghetto Pan, and we were going to eat there, but the workers were being very rude and discriminatory towards us, so we left. I am going to be writing a newspaper article, and I will be publishing it in the school paper. (hopefully) I will then send it to the corporate offices and to Fryin' Pan itself. Well, I am going to go now. I will talk to you later. Love all around.
P.S. Kiss me, I gave blood!

I also received this in the email from my friend Jessica Limke, and I almost started crying. Thanks Jessica! It made me think.

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4.. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet theperson, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you! least expect them to.

I have no problem with the freshman class. I tend to get along with most of the freshmen I know. On one of those quizzes where you answer questions and send them off to friends, and the cycle continues, I mentioned that I wouldn't mind naming one of my future children Mary Katherine. I received a wonderful letter from Mary Katherine Leslie. I will post it on my blog for everyone to see. Mary Katherine is a wonderful example of the ideal freshman. She is kind, and doesn't overstep her boundaries with seniority. I know someone may not enjoy me saying this, but I enjoy seeing Mary Katherine everyday. She brightens my day. Here's the letter:
Dear little Seanathon,
Just wanted to say i'm deeply flattered that you like the name Mary
Katherine enough to concider it for a future daughter...I thought it was
some what a coincidence because MY NAME IS MARY KATHERINE TOO! ;)...how is
life? You should write a book about your life, I would read it, I think you,
Geofffffffff and Chastiffer..oh and perhaps miss Katie and little Aaron too
should write a big book about your adventures. I think the title should be
something like, "Living Outside the Sock Drawer". Yes that would definetley
be it...something random like that. By the way, you have a beautifully
metro clothing style which I think is simply adorable beyond words.
Whenever you wear your precious designer jeans or one of your collard (sp?)
shirts I applaud you. Have a good one dear little Sean, and remember to
moisturize daily
Your little freshman friend,
Mary Katherine Leslie :)

I don't know if she reads this, but, "Thanks for everything Mary Katherine!"

Well, last night was quite the interesting night. It all started when we were at Cresta's house for pictures.
The Pictures 6PM
The people in attendance were: Chase, Sean, Jacob, Stephanie D., Cresta, Sandra, Melissa H., Brittany Neiles, Sandy (Cresta's mom), Mike (Cresta's step-dad), Pam (Stephanie's step-mom), Steven (Stephanie's dad), Donna (Chase's mom), Pat (my mom), Sandra's mom, Stephanie's mom, and Mert (Chase's dad). Well, as you can probably guess, there was a little tension at the picture-taking event (nothing was said, but I could tell). We took the pictures, and Chase's dad left early to go reserve a table at Granite City for us. We left after pictures and when we arrived at Granite City, our table was ready for us.
The Dinner 6:30PM
We sat down, and were helped immediately. We all ordered and just sat around talking enjoying ourselves. Our food came, and we began eating. It was very delicious. Half-way through dinner, Stephanie's cell phone rang. It was her dad. He said he wanted her home by midnight. This dampened the dinner, but we all tried to stay happy. We told Stephanie that Cresta's mom would talk to her dad to tell him that it would be fine for her to stay there, and that the boys wouldn't be spending the night. We finished our meals and proceeded to the school for the grand march.
The Dance 8:30PM
Well, after arriving, we went upstairs and waited in line for the grand march. They called our names, and we walked down the grand staircase. After succesfully making it down the stairs without falling, we decided to unite the parental units to discuss the night's events. After much discussion, Stephanie's dad was bent on the fact that he wanted her home by midnight. Stephanie's mom, however, said to go to Cresta's after the dance. She decided to listen to her mom, and disobey her dad. The dance was fun. We danced ALL night. We didnt' sit out for a single song. It was so much fun. I danced with a bunch of people, including one that I hoped I could dance with. I enjoyed that very much. After the dance we took some pictures, and headed off for Cresta's house.
The After-Party 12:30AM
We went to Cresta's house to watch some movies. Cresta's parents talked with Stephanie's mom, and she said that he would probably show up to take Stephanie home. She told them, that if he did, they were to call her. Well, we began watching some movies, and enjoying herself until, we got a phone call. It was Stephanie's dad. He was on his way to pick Stephanie up. Stephanie called her mom to tell her that he was at the house, and she told her to call the cops. We called the cops, while Stephanie's dad was outside knocking. The cops arrived, so did Stephanie's mom. We all hung out inside while the cops did their thing outside. Stephanie's mom came inside and said that he would probably come back. He did. He didn't try to come inside, but he just took Stephanie's car and drove off, leaving his car behind. The cops were called again, and they couldnt' do anything. The just told Stephanie that it would probably end up with a power struggle between her parents. She may have to emancipate herself in order to stay in Sioux Falls next year. We left to go eat breakfast at Perkins.
The Breakfast 5AM
We arrived at Perkins, and had a lot of laughs because we were so tired. Everyone knows that everything is funny when you are tired. After eating, and seeing some friends from Lincoln, we paid and left. We all went to our individual homes, and Stephanie's mom picked her up at Perkins. I arrived at home at 6:30, and I went right to sleep. I woke up at 4:30PM. Overall, it was a fun night. A good friend of mine told me once, that "things will turn out the way they are supposed to." Lots of love.

Hello all! This should be an interesting blog post tonight. It pertains to my honors choir audition today. After school, I met Geoff in the chorus room, and I practiced my song with Weeza, my wonderful accompanist. Thanks Weeza! After leaving the school, Geoff and I went to Kate Person's house to listen to the Jazz Band perform at the Bando fundraising garage sale. I enjoyed it. It was quite the sight. Afterwards, Geoff, Aaron, and I left the rummage sale, and came back to my house for a dinner of Ramen Noodles. On the way home, we discovered that we could have a lot of fun by playing Aaron's trombone out the window of Audrey. We laughed our asses off. Anyway, we had dinner, I got dressed in my tux for my auditions, and then we proceeded on taking Aaron to Roosevelt for play. We left Roosevelt, and decided to go to Geoff's house so he could get his original copy for auditions. We arrived at his house, and to our dismay, we found that the music was nowhere to be found. Well, I told him to get me my music out of my backpack, and he couldn't find it. After dropping the "f" bomb, I quickly drove to RHS, where we had both left our music. We were running out of time. At RHS, we went to the chorus room, where Geoff found his music, and mine was nowhere to be found. We decided that I would just take a disqualification and let Geoff audition. On the way out to Audrey, we ran into Ebony, who was at the school looking for her purse. She told me she had my music, and we all ran to my car and sped off towards Washington. We made it, and actually had some extra time before our auditons. My audition went pretty well. After singing the patriotic song, Mr. Stanga said,"Why didn't you sing your solo that well?" I stammered out a crappy answer, and continued on with my audition. As I figured, the sight-singing rocked my world. I definately forgot the solfege syllables, so I just muttered out random syllables. I dont' know if I got the pitches right. Probably not. Oh well, the tonal memory was good. Anyway, I will just find out when the results come out. Kind of a boring post. Oh well. Lots of love. P.S. I updated my quotation blog. See the links------------->

Wow, last night was the first time in a long time that I had absolutely no homework. I couldn't believe it. Tonight is my honors choir audition. HAHAHA I laugh. Well, that's about all I have to say about that. Anyway, I am looking forward to summertime, when I don't have to worry about getting stuff done by a deadline. I think everybody's minds need time off from school in order to repair themselves and things in their lives. I think everyone is a little different lately. People have been acting funny, saying things that they dont' usually say. For example, Ben Kramer. Wow, he's been acting quite crazy. It may just be the large amount of sugar he's been ingesting lately. Then, there's my closer friends, who seem to flip out about everything. I am just dismissing these as stress relievers. Anyway, the bell is gonna ring. I'm out. Lots of love.

I am going to quickly post, since I am in Newspaper right now, and the bell will ring soon. This is just a thought that I have had recently. Friends are wonderful to have. They make life so much more fun to go through. But, friends can also be a burden. They may not always be large burdens to you, but sometimes friends can influence you to do something that you have said you would never do. Peer pressure, a terrible thing. I hold to my beliefs and try not to let people influence me to do anything. However, sometimes, I succumb to the power of peer pressure. Usually, when it is a girl. (What can I say?) But, when I see another friend being influenced in a negative way, I get angry, and that is what this post is all about. Be yourself and don't let others influence the way you make your decisions or live your life. *Steps off of soapbox* P.S. Check out my new blog. It is in my links as: "My Favorite Quotations."

Hello everyone. Welcome back to my blog....Wow, I don't think I have ever started a post like this before....interesting. Anyway, today was an early-start, early-dismissal day. I went out to eat with some friends at the mall, and after eating, everyone went shopping, and I took Chase home. I was then left with nothing to do, and no one to hang out with. I came home and did nothing, and then I am going to go to Chase's to help him pack. Anyway, I am tired of typing. I am just going to get going over to Chase's house.

Random thought for tonight: Honors Choir Auditions
Well, as Honors Choir Auditions are rapidly approaching, I sit and think about how they will go. The outlook doesn't look good. I am now taking the kind of attitude that I had for the ACTs. I don't care what the outcome is. I will go in, and do my best. Well, I then asked myself why I want to go to Honors Choir. I know everyone who went said something to the effect of it being "the most fun they have ever had," or "something everyone should go through." Well, I really am not excited about whether I make it in or not. I don't plan on making choir my career or anything. I would rather save the registration money, and make some more money during the summer as a plus. I need to start saving up for college. If I make it, I am not sure whether I will actually go. If I don't make it, oh well. This random thought for tonight has been brought to you by Coca-Cola. Great when you need to stay up late.
