8:01 pm - Claudio-o, Dear Claudio-o
|
This is a long boring post about the concert monday.. read at your own will lol.
So me, keith, russ, dirk, and adam all went on our journey to Houston Monday morning. I went sleep at russ and Keith's sunday night and we left around nine in the morning in Dirk's fantastic vehical whose air condition doesn't always work lol. but it was fun.
um, we got there like, 1-ish, ate at Hard Rock Cafe, then waited around from 2-5, then waited in line (in the front) from 5-7..ish. So we all go in on the floor (except for Adam but we were kinda jealous of him anyway.)
Keith was first and the only one of us who got on the wall. So i was a little nervous that i wasn't on the wall to start with. But i stayed as close to everyone as possible... that is until the show started. It started with this ridiculous emo-screamo band.. really really bad lol.. The lead singer kept coming into the crowd and actually stood on this guy's shoulders for a minute or two while singing.. then he decided it was a good time to crowd serf. So he jumped into this crowd of like 6 or 7 girls, idiot. so then he got back on stage and was screaming his little heart out on his knees when the bassist kicked him in the head as if to say "stop being an idiot!" lol.
anyway.. when that was finished i was near dirk and russ. The minute Avenged sevenfold came on, people came from everywhere rushing toward the front, i got completely seperated from russ and dirk and ended up right behind keith. i couldn't move or breath well for at least 15 minutes cause people wouldn't stop pushing toward the front.. and let's just say me and keith got to be great pals haha. cause i wasn't gonna get behind anyone else. sha. A7x was alright.. not the best..but i only knew one or two songs from them going into it. during the middle of their set they said "alright i wanna see a huge mosh pit!" i stayed as close to keith as i could hoping not to get pushed around.. and it worked.
After their set i went by Dirk and Russ. Then, the band of the evening came out, Coheed and Cambria. I just wanted to cry lol.
They were amazing. Well they did their first song and the crowd wasn't too bad. There was a rush to the front but not as bad as A7x. i could feel dirk behind me and i saw his hand on my shoulder but i couldn't see russ anywhere. anyway in about the middle of their 2nd song, these complete idiots came from the back of the crowd. They were really big dudes, not fat big, but like mocho big. There were like 5 of them and they linked arms one in back of the other and ran to the front pushing people out of the way. THERE WAS NO ROOM! i almost fell several times and was freaking out cause people kept pushing and me and dirk ended up in the middle of the crowd which is like the worst place to be. where we were it felt like a wave, like the crowd would lean frontward and backward a bunch of times. I was shaking really bad cause i was really scared lol. I don't know if there was reason to be, but i was. and i couldn't enjoy the show, which made me really pissed off. I mean, if you go to a show, a good one like co and ca, why do the mosh pit and crowd serfing crap? enjoy the show, and stop being annoying. I honestly felt like i was about to faint, i think cause i was so nervous that i would fall down and get stomped on. So Dirk was behind me and was trying to push the dudes off of me and i tried to help but he was like "let's just go" so we left and got on the bleechers.
It was actually kinda better up there. ughh and then they did The Crowing, which is all i really wanted to hear. Flawless.
We found Russ, bought shirts, and went sit at the top of the bleechers, which was a good place to be cause we could hear them really well.
at the end, Claudio was playing the guitar with his teeth! lol his hair kept getting in the way, but it was good!
They put on an amazing show. i still have addrenaline pumpin.
we drove back that night.. i tried so hard not to fall asleep, but did.
Dirk got us home in like.. 3 hours i think. he must have sped the entire way back.
when i got to their appt. i fell onto the sofa and i think i fell asleep right when i hit.
anyway. T'was an amazing concert.. coheed's anyway.. and it was so worth the money and the time away from my essay writing.
i called a couple of people during their set for them to listen but they probably couldn't hear anything.
yeah, i'm in Hammond right now getting some stuff, then going home, so farewell my friends

12:11 am - okay i'll update!
|
Right so, not too much has been up. For Mardi Gras we only had 3 days off, but i went home and spent time with family and went to parades. I got to see some old friends that i forgot how much i missed.
On March 15th i'm going with Danielle and whoever else is coming to the House of Blues to see Anberlin and Meriwether. I like Anberlin and like what i hear so far from Meriwether, but the more exciting thing is that in April i'm going see Coheed and Cambria with Russ, Keith, Dirk, his girlfriend, and maybe some other people. I am so excited, it's in Houston. This road trip will be so much fun.
Classes are sucking at life right now. Tuck loves midterms and hearings and quizzes and worksheets all in one day. so that means i have to love it too, or fail! I'm kinda worried about his midterm, since i failed last semester's (though i still passed the class with a B) lol..
I might drop biology and take it later. I don't think i can take it right now.. or maybe english.. ugh.
well, that's all i got.
hope that i do well this week!

10:41 pm - yes, we all know that i'm a sucky updater
|
So these holidays marked for some of the funnest, and some of the most boring, lazy, and pointless days of my life!
the "fun" days that i speak of refer to New Years. Some of my friends from the camp that i worked at this summer, Glorieta, came for a party. These people are great. Even my roommate from this summer, Lacey, got to come. It was great to hang out with everyone. that could be the last time i'll get to see some of them.
The past couple of days, however, have been lazy and pitiful on my part. Like waking up after 12 everyday.. staying in my pjs and lounging around until i wake up the next day and do it all over again.
In brighter news, I'm going back up to Hammond tomorrow. I can't take all of the boredom that is the bayou any longer and i'm just ready for school to start so that i can get it over with. This semester will suck.
I feel like a nerd lol..
In sadder news, i have a pimple in my ear and it hurts.
also, i need to get a job because i spent practically all of my money already.
um... the end.
"This is all wrong
and it shows
the certain things i promised not to let you know
You've got this silly way of keeping me on the edge of my seat.
but you're only counting the clock against the drain and i'm miserable,
and you're just getting started
i'm miserable
you've got me right where you want me.
let's never talk, let's never talk about this again because
I didn't want it to mean that much to me." -tbs
current mood:  lazy

6:32 pm - Cingular needs to go run into a train
|
Alright so.. i have much homework to do for math.. so i decided to come update.
My birthday rocked, i had such a great time! We went to the Buzz, and then to Jakies Bar.. and then back to Les and Jen's apt. It was just a great night. My friends that i haven't talked to in a long time called me and that made m really happy.. even though Cingular sucks right now and doesn't let calls go through all the time but, anyway.
Midterms are this week and i think next week.. Music Theory is seriously gonna be a beast. That one's Friday and i decided that i'll start studying today for it.
I've bought so many cd's since i've been here lol.. me, who rarely buys cds.. i'll type them up and rate them for your enjoyment lol.
1) Hawthorne Heights- I really like it.. It would be great for someone who like, just broke up with someone. It's a fun one to sing along with.. for me anyway lol. It's a screamo and it's f
2) Taking Back Sunday- I like this one.. lol everytime i hear it it reminds me of hurricane Katrina cause i bought it before the storm and listened to it driving to our evacuation area heh. So i just listened to it again without the hurricane drama and started dancing in my room! so there ya go. But i do kinda like their old one better.
3) I bought old Dave Matthews Band cds.. like Everyday and Remember Two Thnings.. and a live from Chicago thing.. They weren't that expensive so i figured i'd live it up a little lol.. But i love Dave Matthews.. you know who he is.. that's all you get
4) Underoath- This is like.. the best band to me right now. I love them.. like.. if they were here right now.. i'd so make out with every one of them.. i don't even know what they look like.. that's how much i'm diggin them (lol what a neat saying.. diggin) anyway, They're really hard, but their transition from hard to their little bridges and stuff makes me love them that much more. Ugh.. I wish they would come close for a concert =-( They're one of the bands that i'm singing to loud loud in my car not even caring what i look like lol.
5) Coheed and Cambria (the good appolo)- alright i must confess that i did not buy this cd.. thanks to Russ.. but hey w/e i have it lol.. But they are teh awesome. if i were wearing socks.. they'd be rocked off by their awesomeness. and if they weren't so scary lookin.. i'd have all of their kids heh, There is just something about Coheed and Cambria.. you either love them or you hate them. I am one of the lovers. They have little references and lyrics to their previous cd too(In keeping Secrets.. ); i thought that was way cool, because i love their old cd. In comparisson to this one, hm, i don't know.. I might like them both the same right now.. They're similar in a lot of ways and different.. I think the new one is just less dark than the other one. w/e lol. get it and see for yourself.
6) Emery (The Question)- *sigh* Emery is just one of those bands that i'm gonna love for life. I thank Jared for telling me about them, i just want to meet them because their songs are just so.. ugh. I love them. They are geniouses. Their harmonies get me. their lyrics are so true. The way you have to read between the lines and just almost feel what they're feeling just, ugh. I would LOVE to see them in concert. Their first album wa very, like, slow and deep i guess. It was flowy and didn't have very many hard songs on it. I love that cd (the weak's end). The new one, however, is harder and wouldn't put you to sleep heh. I love both equally as of now. There are songs on both that i have in my head many a days. Emery is probably my favorite. Even though some people (like RUSS) don't like them but some people are nymphos.. so yeah lol.. j/k
7) My Chemical Romance- i didn't buy this one either. But really there are only like 3 songs that i really like on the cd. I thought i'd really like it. Maybe i have to listen to it more.. i donno but the ones i do like are great. So i'm glad i didn't buy this one.
Hm.. alright well.. that's 5 that i bought.. but that's still a lot so donp't hate. Next i either want Silverstein or Terminal. They both rock from what i listened to.
um.. yeah.. so there's my update.. i must study and do homework now..

1:31 pm - Heck yeah it's my Birthday
|
So.. it's definately my brithday today.. lol
I just had 2 classes today so i'm off for the rest of the day. Except for tongiht =-(
i have rehersals.. but i'm gonna call and see if i can get out of it somehow. Cause that would be very sad if i had to stay there tonight. I don't want to be a nun for my birthday! i dunno dude.. But i'm prolly gonna go to Leslie's tonight with some people and i donno what's the plan after that.. =-)
but yeah. I've been having such a great week.. And this weather rocks!
That's it.
" The ghost of you, has almost faded now,
drifting in and out of my life
When leaves fall you'll come right back
cause i was yours.. for a little while.
You will always be
a ghost who lives and breathes
and you lay me down in reverie
every tear that falls
remember me
and i thought i heard your haunting sigh
like your love for me, you said it would never die.
but i've grown accustomed to your long goodbye
i wish you were mine
hey.. you were mine
you will always be
a love who failed to see
it was cold inside your misery
every year that falls
remember me"

10:04 pm - .. must.. study..
|
Aright so, the other day i'm in the computer lab, minding my own business, and updating my little journal here when this old, scary, smelly guy comes sit right next to me. He sits at a computer that doesn't work when there are at least 3 other computers on our same row that were, in fact, working. So he's trying to fix this computer by turning off the computer.. but it was my computer that he took off! i was like *sad face* "you just took off my computer" he appoligized and moved away. So i go back on here and started over on ma little deal and this girl comes sit and does the exact same thing. At this point i'm just like 'dude what the heck!' lol but i didn't say that. Anyway she tells me that the numbers on the computers were switched. obviously.. so, i decided that day was not my day to finally update my journal.
So.. yes.. my birthday is Friday! I will be 19..that means i need presents. =-)
I'm not exactly sure what i'm doing.. but Leslie, Jen, and Brandy wanna take me out somewhere.. That's usually fun.. but i still don't know what i'ma feel like doing.
My parents are coming Friday to bring me my computer! That makes me smile. I really miss ICQ and AIM.. lol i know that's lame but.. shut up.
This past weekend was pretty fun. Saturday me and jordan and two of his friends went to Baton Rouge to go shop. I saw Tyler there and that made me happy! i haven't seen him since before Glorieta. it was so cool that we bumped into him. And then that night Jen brandy Leslie and i went to a lil bar up the street. It was cool, it reminded me of the festivals down the bayou heh, cause there was a live band in this little club in the back of the bar. It was fun we had a good time.
So.. that's all for now.. i guess i'll go study.. later

I'm considering changing my major next semester but i'm still not sure. I hope i figure it out soon.. even though the semester doesn't even end till December 19! Ugh i hate hurricanes.
But anyway.. i just feel like updating cause i'm in an updating kinda mood =-)
So this'll be a boring post
I got to go up to Pineville to visit Danica 2 weeks ago! it was so cool i had a blast i missed her so much. I still miss her. I wish we went to the same school so that we could hang out more. But i didn't mind the alone time to myself driving up there. haha other than the me getting lost while i was finding the school.. twice.. lol.
But before i got there i stopped in Laffyette to visit ol Russ. That was fun i met his friends and stuff and he burnt me new Co and Ca and My Chemical Romance. I also bought the new Emery.. They all rock from what i listened to so far.
"the last time is right know
this choice will take or make every thing
your face is fading out
wash those days
from your eyes and let them fall away
drown the fear that holds you
wash those days
from your eyes and let them fall away
drown the fear
he felt the wake
of torrid days
ushered through
by warm mistakes
suddenly
his broken feet
took their rest
on bended knee"

10:45 pm - i see the door named "heartache" and i just let myself in everytime
|
I'll start by just thanking God that my friends and family are okay from the hurricane, because it could have hit us so easily and i just feel very blessed.
Alright so School started a few weeks ago and, though i have a pretty long and tedious schedule, i really like it. Well, i like it so far. We didn't have school for about 2 weeks because of the storm and we're getting roughly 1500 new students. That also means less parking spaces! lol but i just won't drive anywhere. I can't wait till i get a computer, i'm on my roommate's right now and she's cool and lets e share it with her. But i'm getting into the routine of school now and i really like college.
Yeah, so i hate boys, the same thing happends over and over and i keep walking into the same heartaches over and over! i feel like i bring it on myself.. but i don't know i'm just so blind to things i think. So whatever boys of the world i forfit lol.
I'm a music major, my classes aren't that hard except for a couple and as long as i apply myself it won't be that bad. The people who change majors from music to something else usually do it because of Music Theory. That class is a beast because it's the technical and mechanics of music.. So hopefully that won't be too hard that i would wanna quit. I don't like to quit things, it makes me feel like a quitter.. lol.
I'm also in a musical at my school! isn't that crazy heh. It's the Sound of Music I'm in the nun's chorus. I tried out because i either had to be in two choirs or a choir and a musical.. i don't wanna be in two choirs so.. there ya go. I'm pumped up though.. So you can call me Sister Sophia haha.
what else.. I went out a couple of times and it was fun. There are two clubs right by school that e/o goes to, My roommate, Brandy, and me and some of her and my friends all went and it was really cool. but it's not fun unless you know alotta people. I dunno.. I'm having a great time up here
My brithday is comin up so nobody forget! October 7! buy me a present lol
i want the cds:
My chemical Romance,
Underoath
New Emery
New coheed and Cambria
because i don't feel like buying them myself. =-)
k, God bless

7:23 pm - i miss crawfish
|
Alrighty so it's been forever since i've updated.. i don't really have much to say so i'll say some highlights of this summer.
Day Camp is probably the best job that i could have over here. It is a blast. I love being around the kids and stuff but i've crossed it out as a career. I don't think i want to be a teacher at all, i get so aggrivated with the kids. But anyway, i'm excited about this week because it is our last week with kids and we have all kinda water balloons left unfilled, so we are gonna have a huge water balloon fight. i can't wait.
Last weekend we went on a trip to Six Flags in Denver Colorado. Oh gosh i had so much fun. The friday night a bunch of us took some sleeping bags and pillows and went watch movies in the preschool room. we there about 5 and i then went to my room to pack. i slept about a half hour then my roommate and i got up to leave at 6. It was fun. i slept most of the way there. We went to the park saturday and slept in this awesome little cabin that night. Left sunday afternoon and ate at bubba gumps (which is the coolest restauraunt) we came back to Glorieta in time for Staff worship at 9. It was a really good service i enjoyed it.
Tuesday night is our banquit. There is a talent show and i really wanna sing because i've been going crazy over here not being able to sing. Like seriously i've realized how much i love and need it everyday or else i'll just be kinda aggrivated. Cause there's nowhere to sing over here ya know? lol. i dunno i just really miss it.
This was such a great experience. I'm so glad that i'm here. I wanna come back next year. alright.
peace out and God bless
current mood: excited

8:53 pm - mm mm good
|
So this week i'm off for Day camp. Not like we needed a break or anything cause we've been only working for 2 weeks. But anyway, there's no kids so there's nothing for us to do. I decided to go and work in house keeping cause they really need the help. It's kinda hard work but i think i'll appreciate Day camp a lot more, plus get some extra money.
Last night was some fun let me tell you. We came back from a Student Life service in the chappel and came chill in the lobby. When we left here we decided to go swing lol. We went to the play ground like 6 or 7 of us maybe. While we were there we heard these noises come from some bushes. If you didn't know it already there are many bares in New Mexico. And there's also a big one that come on campus at night. So anyway, we hear these growling noises and were trying to figure out if it was a person. So Josh and Odie goes to discover that it was Thomas... ohh that thomas... lol
anyway, while Hannah was swinging the swing broke, not broke but like, the hook came undone and she fell on her hands. She thought she broke her fingers so we ended up having the funnest time bringing her to Security to see what was up. The security guard was telling her that there wasn't anything wrong with them that they should be better by tomorrow, then goes about telling his whole life story to us about his encounters with bears... lol that was some funny stuff. But anyway.. that's the excitment for last night.
Today i worked in house keeping and decided that i'm never going to be doing that for a living aand am very glad and greatful that i can go to college. Um, but after that my roommate and i had like a dinner party.. it was so much fun. A bunch of our friends came over and we ate good food prepared by Lacey(my roommate) and me. I cooked something that my mommie makes.. it's kind of a cross between like an etoufee and a jumbalia. So i brought some cajun food to this crazy place and everyone loved it.. i was so pumped.
well i'm having a great time over here and i love it.
God Bless..
Sarah

11:07 pm - So here i am at Glorieta
|
Wow, it is amazing up here.
I've just been here 3 days and i am having so much fun. I love the people and the atmosphere.. well not the actual atmosphere because the air is try and thin and i can't even breathe good.. but the christian atmosphere that i am surrounded with. It feels so good to be somewhere where people my age are so on fire for God and aren't afraid of it. I know that this summer will be on of the best ones of my life and i can't wait. i'm gonna miss my friends and everything like Lainey and Bret and T-Clay but, it'll be worth it because i really love it here.
Today was rockin... I played Paint ball for the first time in my life lol.. It was crazy because i was so scared i was gonna get hit so i just hid behind this tree the whole time and shot whoever i could. It was greatness. I'm getting used of the altitude up here now because i have to walk so much. It's like 7000 feet above sea level where as where i'm from we're like below sea-level and whatnot. But anyway i'm still rambling lol.
ummmmmmmmm.. yeah..
Oh the other day was Orientation at Southeastern and that was pretty cool, other than the me not knowing anybody part lol... but i like the dorms and some of the people were cool.. I don't really like the BCM for what i saw so far but.. i'll still try it out and stuff.
well, i'm tired so i think i'mma go to bed now.. PEOPLE SHOULD CALL ME SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIVES!!.. but i'm just very excited to see what God's gonna do here this summer.

So yeah, It's been a while..
I ended up getting a little scholorship from Southeastern in voice for 400 a sem. I of course have to major in voice to get it, and we really need it. So i decided to major in it for the first semester and see if i like it and what i could do with it, but i'm still scared about it cause even though i love to sing and stuff, there's nothing that i can really do except teach singing lessons. I dunno.. I'll have some thinking to do. But i kinda have a peace about it because i think it's where God is
leading me..
anyway, i graduated heh =-)
The graduation itself wasn't that bad, i thought it would be a lot more boring. I was all the way at the top with some fun people so we laughed alotta the time. After grad. Me and lainey went to bet's house and chilled for a little while. Then we went to Lauren's party until like 4.. That was really fun everybody had a blast, especially wesley... lol.
we brought wesley home and then headed to bret's house again to wake him up. we chilled there till like 6. we always have fun when we go there lol. my mom called at 6 for the car (yes, i took the mini that night.. but i don't have a car so shut up!) and so we went home. It was the funnest night omg. being prisoned in the house for the mont before that was almost worth it since i got to go that night.
This summer I'm gonna be working at a christian camp, Glorieta, in New Mexico. I'm gonna miss Jared's wedding cause they're having their wedding on the 12 and i'm leaving on the 11. But i'm gonna have so much fun i think. I'll be working with kids for Day Camp. That's like Vacation bible school every week. I'm so glad that i got this job cause it's exactly what i need right now. They said ti's so pretty up there. I'm leaving on the 17 so i'm gonna spend a lot of time with my friends and family.
alright well..
God bless~!

Last weekend was so much fun.. i spent like the hole weekend at Lainey's house and a bunch of us went to the beach. It was lainey, wesley, t-clay, bret, and slade. It was so much fun lol.. me and lainey and slade were in the water and bret would throw the football and we'd all dive for it lol it was freakin retarted. i wanna go back.
This weekend was kinda cool.. i couldn't do anything friday cause my parents think i'm still 5.. but Saturday was State music rally and i got a Superior!! =-) so did Wesley and Jordan. We had so much fun. Later that day we went watch Shannon Edwards' little recital in Thib.

Katie's wedding is Friday too so i'm gonna have to rush back for that. this weekend'll be fun.. maybe after that my parent's will start letting me do more stuff.
i eman.. it's not like i'm a bad person.. i don't even do anything.. that's what gets me so aggrivated. like i don't even drink or anything and they don't let me go out anymore, when some peoples parents let their kids do whatever they want. I'm going to college next year what the heck do they want from me!
i dunno.. i've kinda been down lately because of that..
well anyway.. i'm going to bed.
later

12:36 pm - finally the silence
|
Not having a job is so great right now!
for everything that i've been having to do i'm so glad i don't have to worry about finding someone to take my place at work and stuff, although i feel lazy most days, i think i deserve some time off to rest and do what needs to be done.
Last weekend was Strawberry jam, and that was some fun let me tell you. Danica came with us and we slept at my aunt's house in Hammond. I wouldn't have had any fun if she wouldn'ta came. She was also singing at the festival, and wesley too. They did soo good. We had a blast i loved it.
Farm bureau 2 weeks ago was also fun. Wesley and Sadie won overall and lisa won 2nd i think. But we all had fun. Anywhere that i can sing i'll have fun, appariently.
umm.. yeah, two weeks from now is auditions for vocal scholorships at Southeastern and i'm so nervous! i want to do good. The day after that is the satin created ACT, and prom....
I''m not going to prom... sad, yes, i know. But here was the deal. I was supposed to go with a boy Wesley from Central that i was gonna have so much fun with. It was gonna be me, him, Lainy, her date, and maybe a couple more people. But my main thing that i wanted was to have fun for my senior prom, and with these people, that was gonna happen. But, The other night, my friend Chad told me that Wesley couldn't go to prom because he wanted to go to his prom now. I said i wasn't gonna go because it would be impossible to find a date in a matter of like 4 days (cause that's when the tickets stopped going on sale.) So Chad, my wonderful awesome hero came to the rescue and told me that he can't go to my prom, but he would take me like, on a little date or something and we'd hang out with everybody after. This idea is a great one. I think i'll have more fun doing that then going to prom. He is so cool so we'll definately have fun. So, yeah.. there's my news about prom. I am still kinda bummed out though, because it is my senior prom, and you're supposed to go with all of your close friends and have a blast. But i am okay with not going. Like, last year was my perfect prom, i went with my best friend, with my best friends, and we had so much fun! So i'm okay with not going to this prom.
well.. nothin else has been goin on.. laterz
current mood: thankful

11:37 am - *cough cough*
|
So i woke up yesterday morning with a bad cold not being able to breathe. What a perfect time to get sick when i'm SINGING TONIGHT!
i'm exhausted.. I quit my job the other day, i really needed to. It was time.
Tonight is Farm bureau i'm so pumped up. I went shopping yesterday and got a cute dress and some really cute clothes for next weekend's Strawberry Jam.
Next week for school, seniors don't have to go till 9:30, tuesday we don't have to go till 11:30.. and wednesday too i think. So that'll be some great sleeping time for me.
I really don't feel good. I just want to sleep all day today..
well.. if anybody wants to go see me tonight.. The contest starts at 5.. but i probably won't sing until like 6 or 6:30..It's at Central Lafourche.
current mood:  drained

9:37 pm - You've been the only thing that's right, in all i've done
|
I wish that i could just stop time for a little while so that i can not have to worry aout anything; not stress about school, work, ACT, college, or relationships.. have a moment to myself without feeling like i have so much weight on my shoulders that i can't think about anything but what needs to be done and how far behind i am for all the senior things that need to be done. I mean i know that everybody else is just as busy as me, if not more, but i just hate being so busy. It is getting me ready for college life, but it's still really hard to have a non-stop schedule that i just want a second to myself where i can do something. I'm so jealous of a lot of my friends who are carefree and don't have anything to worry about. I just want to punch them in the face! lol....
I also feel like i lost one of my best friends.. we don't hardly talk, i miss that person a lot and don't think they feel the same way. That makes me pretty sad.
I'm going to college next year anyway so i guess nothing'll matter by then
Last Saturday was music rally. No one could take my spot at work, like usual, so i had to beg my boss to come in like 2 hours late. Music rally was cool. I sang an Italian song called Caro Mio Ben. (it's the song that hilary duff completely botched in her movie Raise Your Voice).. anyway i got a Superior, which i was so pumped up about because that's not the easiest song to sing. So now me, Wesley, and Jordan get to go to state and compete.
Last tuesday, My friend Leslie and I went visit Southeastern. I missed 3rd and 4th period and went with her. We got a tour, and talked to some councelers, it was cool. I like SELU.
Last night was just so much fun. I went sleep by Dnica's house and Lainey came too. we talked and prank phone called people tille like 5 in the morning. It was so great. I felt like we were back in jr high prank calling people but it was still really cool.
umm.... Farm bureau is this coming saturday. i'm pumped up about it. It's a talent contest that they hold at Central Lafourche HS. It's kind of a big deal it's just a lot of fun cause it's what i love to do.
the weekend after that is the Strawberry Jam and Toast to the Arts festival in Hammond. Wesley, Danica, and I are going and sing at it on different stages. That is so much fun. I love going so much. That same weekend is the variety show but we have it worked out so we can go to both.
i have so much stuff coming up.
anyway.. i'm gonna go to bed now..
hope my ramblings and complaining didn't put you to sleep
later -Sarah
"to think i mihgt not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry
and as we say our long goodbyes, i know they do
light up, light up,
as if you have a choice
even if you cannot hear my voice
i'll be right beside you dear
louder, louder
and we'll run for our lives
i can hardly speak I understand why you can't raise your voice to say."

6:25 pm - "Here, let's play sock puppets!"
|
What a good story i have to write about on here.
Okay, so Friday night i was off, didn't have to work so i was sittin at home chillin when my phone rings. It was my friend Leslie asking to see if i wanted to go to Houma see a movie. I did so we went see Coach Carter. It was good i liked it. Well when i got in the car she tells me "my car is making funny noises but that's okay we are making it to this movie on time" lol what a GREAT idea we had to go anyway. After the movie we're going along and all of a sudden, in the middle of me telling her a story about this boy i dislike very strongly.. the car blows up!!! lol just kidding.. the car just stops.. the engine went kapooey. She was pressing on the accelerator but nothing was happening, so we somehow got our way on the side of the rode by the bridge in front of win dixi in Bourge or somewhere. I was trying not to cry but she cried a lot of course because it was her car. so we just sit there for like a minute not knowing what to do! so since we JUST got our cell phones for christmas, she called her dad and said that he was coming and was gonna fix it or whatever.
So while we were waiting we were scared to death that someone was gonna pull over and help us, and at the same time was mad that no one did stop and help us heh. A little later an old looking car pulls up right in front of us and two men walked out! they went to the back of their truck and got hammers out. and of course we jumped to conclusions like we girls like to do and just like, hid under the seats lol. But we saw them pull out signs for sales at win dixi or something and then we chilled out. So they went like, all around our car and put signs and did not even knock on the window to see if we needed help or anything! even though we didn't want them too lol, still that was kinda funny. So after they left she was digging in her seats and found a pair of socks. She was like "here let's play sock puppets" So we did and that occupied our time for a little while.. great times..
So um, then her dad pulls up right behind us and he pushed us into the parking lot of win dixi and said taht the transmition was shot.. So we rode back with them and then went to her house and fell asleap. the next morning i had saturday school to finish an essay. Ya know i really don't get why in Mrs. Guidry's class we can't do ou essays at our houses. Like, i do so much better when i'm at my house and i finish them earlier too. Like i can't think in her class and we never have enough time. It's not like i'm gonna make my mom or somebody write it for me. and in college it's not like the professors are gonna give us time to do essays in class! so anyway that's one thing that i don't understand about that.
I got a 17 on my ACT. Which is freakin scary!! I got a 22 in english though! so if i can just bring reading and math up i won't have to take remedials in math and might get a 20! because science is out of the question for getting any higher lol.. that part is so hard!
I had to work Saturday night and sunday morning, and last night i went sleep by danica's and rented Sleepover, which was too cute, and Garden State, but we didn't finish watching it so.. i dunno how it is lol. well.. i jsut felt like updating.. peace out playas.
"Sleepless eyes open wide
Before heaven I stand again
If there's no winning this war tonight
I was wondering
If You could steady my spinning head
And trusting gets harder now
I wish You were here beside me
My failures, my fears and doubts
Have been haunting me
I'm just not who I thought I'd be
Freefall
Weightless and terrified
On I go, crossing over
From living to so alive
And purified
I know weeping is cast for the night
But joy . . ."

8:06 pm - Can i have your tots?
|
Well it's been a while. This week is like, the never ending week! I think it's cause i work almost every day this week that it seems so long. i worked monday tuesday, today i took a girl's spot, and tomorrow. that's like 4 days on a school night! Also, early graduation is Thursday and i won't get to see my friends graduate cause i'll be at work =-(
Next freakin week is Thesbian Convention already.. hardly nobody knows their lines.. and the Cell Block Tango that we're doing is horrible. we just started practicing like a month ago.. 1 or 2 practices a week. What is that? okay when hardly nobody knows their lines or what we're wearing or how to act you'd THINK that we'd have a little more practices right? well we don't! I'm like so nervous about the Cell Block Tango that we're performing like a week from Saturday!! There's no way unless we start having more practices that we could ever get it right.. Joni made a big difference in our harmonies when she came help but like.. still we don't even know what we're wearing yet! this is so uncool lol
Anyway.. God has been working in me so much lately. I am not so stressed out about college or my future. It is so weird how it just magically dissappeard. I think i'm definately going to Southeastern if i'm accepted, and pretty sure i'm going for speech therapy unless i change my mind
um, i have a cell phone. hooray for that
and i love napolean dynomite..
now i must go do the tons of homework that i have yet to start.
with a sigh i greet the day
i feel the morning on my face
weary at the moment i awake
even as i lie
the thought returns to mind
"welcome to the rest of your life".
somewhere i've lost my way
from saved to stray and failing
in silence my spirit pleads,
"is the vision lost
or has it been passed on?
is there any use continuing?"
my soul will wait
my soul-wait silently
for God, my God(God my refuge)
and i will live
and i know some destiny
still waits for me
his faithfulness, my hope
it brings comfort to my soul
with a still small voice whispering,
"call upon my name and i
will set you up on high
be still and know that i am God
creation speaks to me
i'm stricken to my knees
in reverance and fear
forever my Almighty
the heavens in your hand
surpass the grains of sand
who am i before you
elieonai eli adullam [God my father, God my refuge; Hebrew]
