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.

Well, I don't feel like typing a whole lot tonight. I am watching an awesome movie. It is called Murder Live. I will tell you all about it later if you want to know. Anyway, Concert Choir went to see Cats at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. It was awesome. Chase almost got some pussy...cat. LOL I enjoyed the night, and we had a clinic with the director at Northwestern College. It went very well. She seemed extremely impressed with us. That's always nice! We went to the Mall of America, and I didn't buy anything except some bracelets from Hot Topic. On the way home, we accomplished the task of planning what we are doing for prom. Chase, Stephanie, Jacob, Sandra Callies, Cresta, and I are going to Granite City. It's gonna be a fun night! Well, I want to get back to the movie. Lots of love, all!

I was just now reading before going to bed, and I came across something in the book I was reading that I thought was very good. Here it is:

Infatuation

You've probably experienced it--the constant thoughts about someone who has caught your eye, the heart palpitations whenever that person walks by, the hours spent dreaming of a future with that special someone. It's infatuation, and I know it well, having experienced it myself!
Many of us have a difficult time seeing infatuation as potentially harmful. But we need to examine it carefully, because when you really think about it, infatuation can be a sinful response to attraction. Any time we allow someone to displace God as the focus of our affection, we've moved from innocent appreciation of someone's beauty of personality to the dangerous realm of infatuation. Instead of making God the object of our longing, we wrongly direct these feelings toward another human. We become idolaters, bowing to someone other than God, hoping that this person will meet out needs and bring us fulfillment.
God is righteously jealous for out hearts; after all, He created us and redeemed us. He wants us to focus our thoughts, longings, and desires on Him. He lovingly blesses us with human relationships, but He first calls us to find out heart's delight in Him.
In addition to diverting our attention from God, infatuation can cause problems for us because it is most often founded on illusion. When infatuated with someone, we tend to build up that person in our imaginations as the perfect guy or girl. We think we'd be happy forever if that person would return our affections. Of course, we can only sustain our silly crush because we've substituted fantasy for all that person's true identity and discover that our "perfect" man or woman is human like everyone else, our dreams fade and we move on to a new crush.
To break out of this pattern of infatuation, we must reject the notion that a human relationship can ever completely fulfill us. When we find our hearts sliping into the fantasy world of infatuation, we should pray, "Lord, help me to appreciate this person without elevating him (or her) above You in my heart. Help me to remember that no human can ever take Your place in my life. You are my strength, my hope, my joy, and my ultimate reward. Bring me back to reality, God; 'give me an undivided heart'" (Psalm 86:11).
My dad likes to say that when you let God be God you can let humans be human. When we place God in His rightful place in our lives, we don't struggle so much when human relationships let us down. In direct contrast, when we make another human our idol, God can't be our God.
After placing God first in our lives, we need to continue to avoid infatuation by resolving not to feed attraction. "Don't nurse a crush!" a girl from Brooklyn, New York, told me when I asked her how she beats infatuation. And she's right. Attraction only grows in to infatuation when we pamper it.
Each time we find ourselves attracted to someone, we have a choice to either leave it at attraction or allow our imaginations to carry us away. I was once a guest on a radio talk show and afterward talked to the producer, a single woman in her thirties. She told me teenagers aren't the only ones who deal with crushes. This beautiful, intelligent woman still had to resist infatuation as and adult. She made a statement that I have found very helpful. "Joshua," she said after telling me about how aq gentleman had recently been pursuing her, "I want to stay focused on God. Until the right man comes along, I refuse to feed romantic expectations and let my heart get carried away."
For her, feeding romantic expectations meant daydreaming about a guy on the way home from work, putting his picture on the refrigerator, and giggling about him with friends. At the right time in a relationship, each of these activities might be appropriate, but before the proper time, she knew these actions would only lead to fantasy-based infatuation.
How about you? Have you found yourself succumbing to infatuations, removing your focus from God, and fantasizing about the "perfect" partner? Perhaps you need to take a step back and evaluate the role infatuation plays in your life.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! HOPE YOU ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR WEEKEND! LOTS OF LOVE, SEAN.

This is not a regular blog post! If you are reading this, call me if you want to do something. I am bored! Someone call please! I don't want to spend time with my parents! I love you all.

Well, this is an interesting topic(the one on Onion Head). I agree with you Chase. Love can be very deceiving sometimes. You may feel you love someone that you have known for a long time. You may tell that person you love them, and tell them secrets you don't tell anyone else. They might even love you back. They may even go to the point of saying you are their "soul mate." This, however is not always real love. One day, they love you, but the next day, they could meet someone totally different. They might abandon you, leaving you with feelings that instantly are destroyed. Your "love" is gone. In high school, a person is not grown up. Hell, in college, a person isn't grown up. It takes time to be able to actually love a person as in the type of love that marriage/dating comes with. One may see someone and think they "love" them because: 1. they are good-looking 2. they can be talked to easily 3. they "love" you for who you are 4. you can trust them 5. etc. The list goes on and on. This, however, is not "love." This is friendship. Just because you meet someone who you mesh with well, and can say nice things to you, doesn't mean you love them or they love you. It is friendship, simple friendship. There are two types of love. 1. friend/family love 2. "soul mate" love When you have only been on the earth less than 19 years, you have probably not experienced "soul mate" love. You may have thought you have, but you haven't.

Well, today was quite the busy day. First off, early this AM Concert Choir had to be at Augie to perform for contest. We performed and rocked the house. We received superior ratings from all three judges. We sat around and slept....I mean listened to the other choirs until around 11:40ish. We headed back to Roosevelt and we changed and went to sixth and seventh period. Seventh period was interrupted by the fire alarm. We did the whole drill thing, and then, we went to Augie to perform. Chamber surprisingly received ones from all three judges. I was shocked, and Chase expressed his shock too. Anyway, Suite performed following Chamber. We were the only show choir to perform. Mrs. Fode told us not to take the results very seriously because they were so different from all the judges. We received a one, a two, and a three plus. Very diverse opinions. I hung out with Steph T., Nicholas, and Jacob. WE had some fun, and then Steph and Jacob left, so Nick and I saved Hale from the familia. We hung out and went to Walmart. Then, I took him home. Today was a good day. I enjoyed myself, and started thinking more optomistically about Suite next year. On the topic of Suite, I am going to respond to every single one of the comments in my blog. Here's the disclaimer. If you dont' like my opinions and blunt honesty, don't continue reading. If you get angry easily, dont' continue reading. If you like to make anonymous posts, FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T CONTINUE READING. THERE'S NOTHING I CAN'T STAND MORE THAN A PERSON WHO CAN'T PUT THEIR NAMES ON THEIR VIEWS!

1. Weeza, It was my business, it did affect me for multiple reasons.
2. Weeza, I do understand, people are caught up in the traditional hype. Except, one person has a valid reason to do it and I support her totally.
3. Jenny, I am not concerned what DK thinks about my opinions.
4. Jenny, Who said I wasn't going to be your friends, just because you chose Chamber? All I said was that I was disappointed in the decision.
5. Jenny, there are some good points to them leaving. It will make it so that there are some veterans left for when we leave high school. You have me there.
6. Jacob, thank you.
7. None (I hate anonymous), I regret my decision to be in both Chamber and Suite. I was pressured by DK to be in both. I would have quit in the middle of the year if I would know that it would affect the group. We already were low on people. Plus, I am not so cold-hearted where I would leave you high and dry in the middle of the year. I know I'm an asshole, but not that big of one.
8. Shane, good point about the harder working. What I tell other people about chamber shouldn't affect how chamber performs. I know that whenever I go into a Chamber performance, I try my hardest, just like I do in Suite. I don't let my opinions affect my performance. Hell, I was in President's Men for two years. I performed my best, still keeping in mind not to let my head get huge trying to make other people believe we were better than we actually were.
9. Jenny, People have made their own decisions. I made my opinion known. I just wanted my best friends to know how I felt since, I do care about them, and want to be with them next year as much as possible. They made their decisions. I don't necessarily like all of the decisions, but I don't say anything to them anymore. It's done and over with. I just need to figure how to make things work with what Suite has for next year.
10. Echo(*slaps* damn the anonymity), quotes are nice. Any words can be twisted and twisted. How about looking up some quotes about loyalty? There are plenty in the Bible; try looking there. I do like the quotes though, I'll add them to my collection of quotes. Thanks.
11. Stephee, thanks I was getting worked up while typing all of this.
12. Katie, I don't think your advice worked. Thanks though. LOL
13. Jacob, here's the post!

There is my opinion in it's censored entirety. Thanks for reading. If you want to comment, please do so. But.....DON'T POST ANONYMOUSLY. If you can't stand up for your opinion, don't comment in my blog. You are not wanted here.

Well, today I received some saddening news. Next year, we may be losing some members of Suite due to a shift in dedication. It does dampen the spirits since they are all strong assets to the show choir, but we will go on if they do decide to go down the path of crap--*takes deep breath* takes the path down towards chamber. I wish them the best of luck at their decisions and would just like to let them know that I will miss them.
Onto a happier topic....Tonight was the pre-contest concert. We did awesome. Concert Choir got 2 standing ovations. I was pleased with the performance; I don't think it could have gone any better. I don't want to type anymore. I am kinda in a weird mood. Good, yet bad. Well, I'll talk to you later. Love ya.

Well, yesterday was Best of Show. Good times. Afterwards, we went over to Amber's house and hung out there until it was time to go to Lance's house for a party! He really has fun parties. Last night's seemed extra fun, I don't know why, it just was. Maybe because there was a smaller company than usual. Anyway, we performed, and did awesome, I thought. We got fourth out of five, which I am pleased with. I had a lot of fun. We had a good show this year. Next year will be even better once we implement the Show Choir Bible. The group will be a little more selective next year probably. *winks* I am looking forward to dancing with all those who decided not to give up on Suite and just stay in to help develop the program. Well, the next performance we have is on Wednesday at large group contest at Augie. I am sure we'll get a one, like last year. Before Best of Show yesterday, I took the ACT at Augie. I am not very worried about it or anything. I am hoping for a 30. We'll see how I do. I am not the kind of person that gets worried and freaks out just because colleges look at the score. It is just a test. Don't freak out about it. In conclusion, Suite is gonna rock next year, and....dont' freak out about stupid tests. I work today 1-9 in casual dining, you can come in an visit if you really want to. Love you all lots!

Well, lately a lot has happened. I got a new vehicle to drive. We retired Courtney and I drive Audrey around now. She drives really well, and it is fun to drive. Today, after school, Jacob, Aaron, Geoff, Chase, and I cleaned and air-freshened Audrey. She smells really nice. We were driving around to find something to do. We were presented with many ideas such as: picking people up and driving around some more, we could go to Coldstone, or we could just go to our own separate homes. We chose to pick AJ up. We are getting tired of ice cream, sorry. Lo and behold, AJ's shmoopie was on his way. We waited for him, and kidnapped him too. Well, we drove around, and then went to our individual homes. We now are just hanging out. I thought I would just type in my blog. Wow, everyone is coming up with new blog ideas. I feel left out. I will try to come up with some ingenious idea to make a blog with. Anyway, I will get going because I have nothign important to say except...nope, nothing important. LOL P.S. Tomorrow is payday. I need to remember to keep some of my money out so I can pay for my meal prom night. I know there is plenty of time, but I have problems saving money. $40 should cover my meal, don't you think?
