  <description>Today was one of the best days of my life.&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;woke up around eight, but I&amp;nbsp;was feeling lazy, so I&amp;nbsp;didn&apos;t really get up until 10:30. I&amp;nbsp;had french fries for breakfast, then I went to the Y. Steph had this get together where we all played on a giant inflatable slide and inflatable obstacle course. It ended up just being me, her, Brad, Joe, Caitlin, and Pat Coit, oddly enough. We jumped around and slid and raced and just lay around and it was fabulous and we were all six years old again. Steph sprayed the slide with Pledge so it would be super slippery, and it was amazing, and I&amp;nbsp;even managed to run UP&amp;nbsp;it once!!! It was epic. But of course, there were giant-inflatable-slide burns. lol. I&amp;nbsp;have one of my hip, and one on my elbow, but whatever. And when we weren&apos;t playing, we were dancing around like fools or beating the crap out of each other with giant Q-tips. An epic afternoon overall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then it was time for stage crew. We really don&apos;t do much of anything, so we just sat wayyy down the hallway while I&amp;nbsp;read everybody crap from the College Humor Guide to College Book. NEVER&amp;nbsp;accept a backscratch from a boy. NEVER&amp;nbsp;EVER! haha. And then Steph gave me a makeover.&lt;br /&gt;Steph and I&amp;nbsp;snuck in the back of the auditorium to see the crucifixion - it gave me the chills, ngl. Though it could also have been the fact that the fence was rattling and little kids were singing, and it kinda creeped me out. idk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thennnn we air banded for like ten minutes - Steph, Caitlin and I&amp;nbsp;just danced around.&amp;nbsp;It was fun. Any day you dance more than you walk is a very good day, imo. Then we went to Friendly&apos;s and were really obnoxious and ate ice cream and it was just wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today was a day where I&amp;nbsp;just really loved all of my friends. It was an awesome day, and I&amp;nbsp;am going to miss everyone. Even though I&amp;nbsp;guess there won&apos;t be anyone to miss except all my underclassmen friends. Pm all of us are going to Boston or near it - Steph, me, Caitlin, Brad, and JOE!&amp;nbsp;because he is NOT ditching us for the South anymore. You have NO&amp;nbsp;IDEA&amp;nbsp;how happy this makes me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This summer is going to be epic - just great days like this, all day, every day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now with that lovely thought, I&amp;nbsp;think I&amp;nbsp;am going to go to bed. I&amp;nbsp;mean, I&amp;nbsp;DO&amp;nbsp;have to be there tomorrow at 11:30!&amp;nbsp;haha&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

BOO!&lt;br /&gt;and everything else requires too much thought&lt;br /&gt;um....maybe spaghetti? idk&lt;br /&gt;but enough about what I&apos;m going to have for dinner. lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the last like three days, I&apos;ve REALLY gotten into the Beatles, and I kinda feel like a poser now. idk why&lt;br /&gt;it&apos;s not like ANY people my age can be all, &quot;well, I knew them when they weren&apos;t famous!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;or any of that shit&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m just weird, I guess&lt;br /&gt;but whatever&lt;br /&gt;they&apos;re really really catchy, and making me happy&lt;br /&gt;so idc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so yea...that&apos;s my life right now&lt;br /&gt;FOUR MORE DAYS! then two finals&lt;br /&gt;then I&apos;m DONE!&lt;br /&gt;FINALLY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and being able to wear shorts and a tshirt to school tomorrow and monday is making me WAY too happy&lt;br /&gt;my life is small, I suppose&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I realized that I might be able to upload vids from my camera onto like youtube or something! the thought just hit me like yesterday.....now I just need to find the cord and see if I&apos;m right&lt;br /&gt;if I am....oh man, the stupid crap I might do.....haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really need to go to the bookstore...I am in dire need of new things to read&lt;br /&gt;I should do that tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;guess I&apos;m done now&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>yay! midterms are over! (did I already say that?)&lt;br /&gt;I went to bed around 3 THIS MORNING, so I&apos;m a little wonky right now. ugh&lt;br /&gt;AND my cousin&apos;s here. I don&apos;t wanna say I&apos;m anti-my family but.....I&apos;m anti-my family. They are....bleh&lt;br /&gt;I prefer to think I&apos;m an alien, or I sprung fully formed from the ocean. ANYTHING&lt;br /&gt;plus, she still likes Hannah Montana. She&apos;s TWELVE. That is NOT ACCEPTABLE. haha&lt;br /&gt;Anyways....I went to Wrentham yesterday - YAY new jeans! I had to buy them &quot;tall,&quot; which I find funny cause I&apos;m only 5&quot;8 (ok, so I&apos;m taller than Tom Cruise and 95% of the women in Hollywood...but STILL! I&apos;m shorter than Brad, Katherine, Joe....basically lots of people. haha)&lt;br /&gt;urghjlfksdjigenfij.......I&apos;m mad.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;but I&apos;m not telling, cause then you&apos;d think I&apos;m an evil selfish bitch. More so than usual.&lt;br /&gt;so there! *sticks out tongue*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I got my hair cut. Google Christopher Gorham. When he had long hair? It looks just. like. that.&lt;br /&gt;Even when I try to look like a girl, I STILL look like a fucking boy. jesus&lt;br /&gt;(not that that&apos;s a bad thing)</description>

More people crying and less people wearing shoes.&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe that&apos;s just the&amp;nbsp;people I know...we can be a pretty dramatic bunch.&lt;br /&gt;ha&lt;br /&gt;so that was it&lt;br /&gt;PreCalc midterm I didn&apos;t study for tomorrow! oh joy&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll be ok though&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I hope&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description>

  <description>two&amp;nbsp; midterms down, four to go!&lt;br /&gt;I totally rocked out Mr. Macek&apos;s essays.&lt;br /&gt;So I just spent the past half an hour reading ALL my old LJ entries. A year in my life, chronicled for the world (ok, like 7 people) to see. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;It made me realize a few things:&lt;br /&gt;-I&apos;ve actually grown up quite a bit&lt;br /&gt;-I repeat myself. A LOT&lt;br /&gt;-I really like bright colors. REALLY.&lt;br /&gt;so....yea (oh, yea, I say that a lot too. haha)&lt;br /&gt;The rest of this week should be pretty chil&lt;br /&gt;Physics study party at Marina&apos;s tomorrow? hells yes! Even though it probably won&apos;t help. Can she just give me a 50 and be done with it?&lt;br /&gt;So Caitlin&apos;s writing a semi - biographical book about us. That should be pretty fun. It&apos;s turning out pretty dramatic - cause we ARE pretty dramatic! haha. I think someone should get married in Vegas. That would be pretty kickass. haha&lt;br /&gt;so I&apos;ve been online for like FIVE HOURS (!)&lt;br /&gt;and my back/legs hurt&lt;br /&gt;and AI is on (yes, you can make fun of me. But I don&apos;t care - not much else is on!)&lt;br /&gt;so....peace out, girl scout!</description>

  <description>&amp;nbsp;I should be sleeping, dreaming of Amish kids and other weird crap, but I&apos;m sitting on my bed - very much awake. ack&lt;br /&gt;Fingers crossed that the cast list is up tomorrow! Though I doubt it - it&apos;d be nice, right?&lt;br /&gt;Today someone threw a Diet Coke can from the 3rd floor girls bathroom down to where Nate and I and some other people were standing. Nate got hit in the head and soda got all over my skirt. We&apos;re all fine, but we couldn&apos;t find who did it so we could kick some ass. poop&lt;br /&gt;Ugly Betty was new tonight (*happydance*) and it made me realize - I could &lt;strong&gt;never &lt;/strong&gt;be a model. Cause I&apos;m too &lt;em&gt;fat&lt;/em&gt;. That is just disgusting. When a size four is considered fat......argh. that&apos;s just messed up, man&lt;br /&gt;so yea...I guess that&apos;s my mini - PSA for the day. haha&lt;br /&gt;My eyes are starting to hurt - that&apos;s my cue to try to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;but Panic at the Disco (no ! anymores kiddies) are headlining the Honda Civic Tour this year - possibly with The Hush Sound??? AWESOME!!!!&lt;br /&gt;(yes, I&apos;m sooo dorky, I know)</description>

  <description>&lt;font color=&quot;#993366&quot;&gt;so I auditioned today, and it was &lt;strong&gt;nowhere&lt;/strong&gt; near as bad as I thought it&apos;d be (though Adia and Katie and whoever else dancing helped =] )&lt;br /&gt;ahh.......FRIDAY!?!?! crazy&lt;br /&gt;it &lt;em&gt;so &lt;/em&gt;doesn&apos;t feel like Monday. More like...Wednesday or something. I wrote Friday on my history notes; I think I&apos;m cracking up. haha&lt;br /&gt;now I&apos;m procrastinating - physics review? &lt;em&gt;no such thing!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;religion test - &lt;em&gt;what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;history assignments - &lt;em&gt;what&apos;s that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;um....yea&lt;br /&gt;I should probably get to all of that&lt;br /&gt;and someone STOLE MY PHYSICS BOOK!!!!! *shockhorrordisaster*&lt;br /&gt;whoever did it must be Houdini or something, cause my locker is one of the few that actually closes all the way, and I keep it locked. ack&lt;br /&gt;nah...I probably left it in the classroom.&lt;br /&gt;we shall see tomorrow! *dramatic music*&lt;br /&gt;I NEED TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;farewell for now&lt;br /&gt;*is off in a flourish*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(um...I seriously need help.

  <description>&amp;nbsp;ahhh I&apos;m making mac and cheese, and I just went in the kitchen and there was SMOKE EVERYWHERE!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;except it was just steam&lt;br /&gt;then I freaked out and spilled a bunch of the noodles on the floor&lt;br /&gt;wow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that wasn&apos;t how I was going to start this, but anywho...&lt;br /&gt;2008, eh? I &lt;em&gt;guess &lt;/em&gt;this&apos;ll be a big year for me - turning 17, starting my senior year of highschool. But I don&apos;t know...things never seem to go as planned for me. ugh&lt;br /&gt;but I made resolutions! Does anyone actually do that anymore? seriously...I never do. But I figured, what the hell. Here they are:&lt;br /&gt;1) stop being so damn angry! In case no one noticed, I was mad a &lt;strong&gt;lot&lt;/strong&gt;. It&apos;s not really who I am - I need to chill out more&lt;br /&gt;2) stop being so neurotic about everything. I&apos;m a professional nervous-breakdown haver. It&apos;s stupid - I need to stop&lt;br /&gt;those are really the two big ones. There&apos;s the superficial &quot;like omg I need to lose weight!&quot; one (but in my case, it&apos;s more like gain muscle - haha) and some other things I&apos;ve been working on for a while (like swearing - I don&apos;t really do it anymore! yay!)&lt;br /&gt;so I guess things are ok now - physics is still impossible, but the year is almost halfway over! woohoo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! (even though it&apos;s a little belated. ha)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh, and the macaroni I mentioned? When I went to put butter in it, I stupidly put the plastic lid of the tub on the HOT BURNER!!!! there is now a gray circle of melted plastic on the stove. oh joy&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m so stupid</description>

  <description>that I&apos;m already sick of vacation? Christmas is over - let&apos;s just go back to school!&lt;br /&gt;ok...maybe I don&apos;t mean that. I&apos;m really not ready for Macek or Physics or midterms 4 days in a row&amp;nbsp;(*dies*) - I just miss everybody! But I don&apos;t think they&amp;nbsp;miss me - I haven&apos;t gotten a single phone call, text, or IM. hmph. Guess my New Year&apos;s&amp;nbsp;shall be spent alone on the&amp;nbsp;couch. &lt;em&gt;again&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;m not really mad - just bored out of my freaking mind. I&apos;m an only child. My mom likes to go to the gym. A LOT. My dad works. I&apos;m home alone. It&apos;s really boring. And seriously - &quot;500 channels and there&apos;s nothing on&quot; isn&apos;t just an expression. IT HAPPENS!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God for the Internet, or I would have jumped off my porch just to see if the snowbanks would soften the fall. ha&lt;br /&gt;But even &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; gets boring! ack.&lt;br /&gt;Which brings me back to the beginning of all this - school. At least there, I know what to expect (for the most part), and have people to talk to.&lt;br /&gt;So yea....three more days. I&apos;m counting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I think that&apos;s it&lt;br /&gt;oh, and I&apos;m painting my new room BRIGHT YELLOW!!! yay</description>

I probably should have started some of this today, but too late to do anything now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hope everyone&apos;s christmas is very merry, and if you go shopping the day after, I hope you don&apos;t get trampled and find lots of great bargains&lt;br /&gt;I should probably go to bed now - if I want to complete the above list tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;night!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: I saw&lt;em&gt; I Am Legend&lt;/em&gt; yesterday - it was pretty good, but sad. really good special effects&lt;/font&gt;</description>

Everyone liked them, which made me happy....but now&amp;nbsp;all the cookies at my house are gone =(&amp;nbsp; I need to make some more.&lt;br /&gt;and then I got a text from Lauren asking me if we had had school today, cause someone told her that we didn&apos;t. I shouldn&apos;t find that funny, but I do. I mean, did she not check the news??? ack&lt;br /&gt;Anyways...it&apos;s SNOWING! or at least, it &lt;em&gt;was. *&lt;/em&gt;happydance* We haven&apos;t had a white Christmas in a while.....this should be fun.&lt;br /&gt;and...OIJKFDjsIOJNFKDSLFJKDSLMF Christmas is in FIVE DAYS!!!!!!!!! omigosh. I&apos;m still like 4 when it comes to Christmas. I can&apos;t get to sleep on Christmas Eve, then I&apos;m up at like 6. It&apos;s ridiculous.......but I love it.&lt;br /&gt;The sad thing is, I already know basically &lt;em&gt;everything&lt;/em&gt; I&apos;m getting (cause I peeked - I&apos;m sooo bad): some books, makeup, a combo CD/cassette/record player, pajamas, and a stuffed giraffe&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I just hope there&apos;s more than that - I&apos;m pretty sure there is.&lt;br /&gt;TOMORROW LAST SCHOOL DAY OF THE YEAR!!! omigossshhhhh&lt;br /&gt;haha&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not making any sense anymore - I&apos;m too hyper&lt;br /&gt;what the hell is going on with drama?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?&lt;br /&gt;and my cat is only half shaved (long story) and he&apos;s trying to keep warm - it&apos;s sad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#993366&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh, and this is random, but I was looking at this list of the 100 sexiest celebrities - and ZAC EFRON WAS RANKED SEXIER THAN JAMES DEAN!!!! I was appalled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I forgot how much I liked this song&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>I&apos;m not sick anymore! woo! just in time for my big partaaaaaaay weekend - but the weather has me worried.&lt;br /&gt;*crosses fingers* please don&apos;t rain on&amp;nbsp;Sunday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyways, I&apos;m just sitting here.....and my bike is next to me. It&apos;s taunting me, &quot;go for a ride!&quot; But I can&apos;t. Besides the fact that it&apos;s &lt;em&gt;raining&lt;/em&gt;, the tires are flat. argh. When I move I&apos;m finding a park and going to ride my bike ALL the time - I don&apos;t do it as often as I&apos;d like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow...this is the first FULL week of summer, and yet it feels like we&apos;ve been out forever.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;um......this was basically pointless. whatever</description>

  <description>These past couple of days have been icky. But I&apos;m trying to get over it and be more positive. I mean, honestly, does it matter what stupid thing I did or said months ago? NO! so I should stop feeling bad about it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I tried making a list of the best moments of my life, but I could only think of a couple. How sad is that? And really, only one wasn&apos;t from this year. ha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyways....Pirates is Saturday! I&apos;m superpumped...even if I will be in the company of 2 girls wearing shirts that say &quot;I&amp;nbsp; Want Your Booty&quot; . Not to mention the apparantly horrendous dare Adrienne wants me to do. ack.&lt;br /&gt;I used to be &lt;strong&gt;innocent&lt;/strong&gt; before I met that girl! now.....ah! I NEVER should have told her about top or bottom. NEVER.&amp;nbsp;ugh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that&apos;s itfernow. the week&apos;s almost over! YAY! except for on Friday it&apos;s supposed to be NINETY and we&apos;re all gonna be in the gym. funnnnnn</description>

Stupid me picks truth, and Adrienne asks&amp;nbsp;THE question.&amp;nbsp; I answer and she doesn&apos;t believe me! honestly, what&apos;s the point of asking a question if you&apos;re not gonna believe the answer? and now she has me second-guessing myself. *facepalm* ugh&lt;br /&gt;Everyone &lt;strong&gt;else&apos;s&lt;/strong&gt; life is an episode of Degrassi - does mine have to be too?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yea I know, it&apos;s supervague</description>

  <description>school&apos;s almost over! but not soon enough....argh&lt;br /&gt;this year has been the worst year of my life, academically speaking, but the best in every other way. So I guess they balance out. I just need to stop the the self-loathing - EVERYONE says stupid shit all the time.&lt;br /&gt;it&apos;s no big deal&lt;br /&gt;I should probably stop running into things, too. My face still hurts from yesterday. ow</description>
