Do you ever have one of those weeks of extremes, where everything is eiher really really good, or really bad?? OKay, let me start a while back, perhaps last Wednesday. We had our end of the year choir concert, which was a fantastic night! the choir sounded magnificent, and we got a standing ovation, and I mean, we all had fun. Which is what really counts, right? A bunch of my friends came, which I really appreciated, because I know choir can be really boring to some people. Laura said a little speech about mrs Sinclair being awesome, and then started to almost-cry, and we sang our finale.. After the concert, a bunch of us went to Dairy Queen and hung out for a while, which was cool too.

then not much happened until Friday after school. I was supposed to be burning my Blackout DVD's for the screening party which was THAT NIGHT, but some gods must have been against me that day. I spent four hours, and ten bucks worth of DVD"S trying to make the stupid thing, and it didnt work! I was so frusturated and disappointed! And I kept thinking that all my friends would be really disappointed and not want to go to Lauras.. however, my day wuickly brightened when I actually GOT to Lauras, and my friends appeared! They all assured me that it was cool about the video, and they could all see it later, and that any excuse to hang out was a good one. We had an excellent friday night. We chatted for a long time, and played Romance, and I Never, and then talked some more. Great fun! Laura was really pleased because she rarely hangs otu with Stefanie, glenn, Cora, MArtha, etc, but really likes them.

Saturday was dull for the most part until I picked up Laura at 6 and went to Stephens for his birthday party. Im still sore today from all the bruises I acquired that night! Maybe I shyould explain that.. :P Because I was with a bunch of boys, I couldnt help doing boyish things. All the other girls were on the grass being weenies, while I played volleyball, and roughhoused. Actually, with the exception of Kate, who was tackling right along with me.

Highlights of the party:

• Wrestling with Tim, because he actually tries, and we're on equal footing. Also it was funny when his shirt came undone
• Watching five guys try to light a barbecue for ten minutes
• watching Martha and kevin act like a married couple
• being picked up by Rob like I weighed as much as a cat
• Mocha icing on the cake!
• hanging out with Stephens crowd, who I dont often see
• Seeing Geoff dash out of the backyard away from girls
• playing v-ball ( to the best of my ability, which isnt much)
• singing Seussical songs after almost everyone had left

there was much more fun stuff, but thats the condensed version

Lowlights:

Well, there was only really one, and that was kind of fun anyways

• Being carried on Tims shoulders and thinking I was going to fall off and DIE.

Sunday was the day of Seussical auditions, which started out terrible, and ended up being an awesome day. In the morning, I couldnt sing at all, and I was freaking out. I dont know why, but my voice just wouldnt work properly! I was seriously considering not going, when Kevin drove up to pick me up. lame. But, I was glad I went later.

First off, only seven people showed up; Me, Kevin, NIcole, Mel, Laura, Rosie, and this girl named Wallis. This was cool, because it was a good atmosphere, knowing everyone and all. Me and KEvin got to do a scene with Mr and Mrs Mayor, which actually went really well, and was uber fun to perform. Then, it was time for my singing audition, which I was less than psyched about.

I was singing The One feather Tail of Gertrude McFuzz, and I started normally, just singing. Then Mr A was like, stop. JUst stop. So I did. Then he said, now sing as Gertrude. So I did as good a job as I could of acting like Gertrude. Then he made me do it as a monologue, which was really tough, as I have never actually done a monologue before, especially spur of the moment. Then he got up, rummaged around for a while, found a phone prop, and unplugged a cord. Then he tied the cord to my pants, and handed it to me syaing "this is your tail, now sing it again".

So I got really into it. I swung it around mournfully, and at appropritate times, played with it, looked at with disdain, and at the climax of the song, tossed it aside, klicked it a few times, and scuffed my foot on the floor in true Gertrude style. Mr A said he was really impressed, sp I was pleased with myself.

After that we all hung around chatting and doing a lot of nothing while waiting for Laura M to get there for the dance audition.

Sunday night I went to dinner and the movies with my mom, and saw the Longest yard, which was suprisingly funny.

"He's so fast, he makes fast people look...not fast."

Yesterday kind of sucked. Maybe i was just in an emo mood, but everything seemed to suck more than it should have. Like the four part harmony stuff at gators. ARG. I was so frusturated. When I cant learn a part that I know isnt hard I freak out, and throw things. Its stupid, I know, but I just cant help it. Oh well, today was better. ( but still dull)

Only 7 days of school left!

listening to: Seussical music ( surprised?)

thinking about: the summer, and how excited I am.
