too bad nobody reads this thing because i never update it, i rock like that
update on college status:
JMU- accepted
GMU- accepted
Catholic- accepted
Penn State- still accepted
Peabody- randomly accepted
Villanova- accepted
UVA- haven't heard yet
and...last and most sad
Georgetown- rejected :(
but i guess i have a lot of good choices still, especially if i wanna be a voice major (wtf peabody?)
oh and i quit my job at dry ice, but never fear i'll be back in the summer if my boss and manager stop molesting eachother
this is my little haiku about oakton
every single day
people seem to get dumber
throw me off a bridge
it's still in the works, i don't think it coveys the complete and total idiocy of the average student at oakton high school yet.
that's all for now

I'm really getting bad about updating, but when i have no time to myself i don't spend those few precious fleeting moments updating. i shower. hooray for smelling good.
I had a job interview with dry ice the other day, i kind of want to work there but a kind of not, just because i would get money but i would have even less time. i'm really trying hard to 'fit in' aspects of my personal life but i spend so much time worrying about it that i spend that time all frustrated. it's just a stressful time right now i guess.
i got into Penn State, so now i'm actually into a school i want to go to unlike madison or mason.
been throwing up a lot again, it's kind of gross, one time it resulted in sunflower seeds getting lodged in my nose...ewwww
Kari is my valentine, sorry everyone. we're going to buy eachother flowers and go on a hot date, although we probably won't because it's a school night, and i'm going to get her chocolate with nuts, otherwise she won't like it. i have such a difficult date. by the way kari is my life, as well as my sanity. she gave me chilli last night and i kept it down!!!
so we're supposed to have horrendous amounts of snow this weekend, which resulted in cafe musique being postponed....but i bet we'll still have SATII's, cause things work like that
annnnnnnd that's about it, perhaps i'll update in the resonable future

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
mine is....
There was another interval of utter insensibility; it was brief. for, upon again lapsing into life there had been no perceptible descent in the pendulum.

so we were looking at poetry in english today and i found this really amazing poem, read it.
The Naked and the Nude
Robert Graves
For me, the naked and the nude
(By lexicographers construed
As synonyms that should express
The same deficiency of dress
Or shelter) stand as wide apart
As love from lies, or truth from art.
Lovers without reproach will gaze
On bodies naked and ablaze;
The Hippocratic eye will see
In nakedness, anatomy;
And naked shines the Goddess when
She mounts her lion among men.
The nude are bold, the nude are sly
To hold each treasonable eye.
While draping by a showman's trick
Their dishabille in rhetoric,
They grin a mock-religious grin
Of scorn at those of naked skin.
The naked, therefore, who compete
Against the nude may know defeat;
Yet when they both together tread
The briary pastures of the dead,
By Gorgons with long whips pursued,
How naked go the sometime nude!
hehehehe, i love it so much there were a couple other good ones which i'll put below, if you don't like poetry go sulk in your illiterate corner.
To Sleep
John Keats
O soft embalmer of the still midnight,
Shutting, with careful fingers and benign,
Our gloom-pleas'd eyes, embower'd from the light,
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine:
O soothest Sleep! if so it please thee, close
In midst of this thine hymn my willing eyes,
Or wait the "Amen," ere thy poppy throws
Around my bed its lulling charities.
Then save me, or the passed day will shine
Upon my pillow, breeding many woes,--
Save me from curious Conscience, that still lords
Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole;
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards,
And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul.
keats rocks my world, and so does sylvia plath, read "mirror" if you get the chance
THERE IS A GARDEN IN HER FACE.
by Thomas Campion.
There is a Garden in her face,
Where Roses and white Lillies grow ;
A heau'nly paradice is that place,
Wherein all pleasant fruits doe flow.
There Cherries grow, which none may buy
Till Cherry ripe themselues doe cry.
Those Cherries fayrely doe enclose
Of Orient Pearle a double row ;
Which when her louely laughter showes,
They look like Rose-buds fill'd with snow.
Yet them nor Peere nor Prince can buy,
Till Cherry ripe themselues doe cry.
Her Eyes like Angels watch them still ;
Her Browes like bended bowes doe stand,
Threatning with piercing frownes to kill
All that attempt with eye or hand
Those sacred Cherries to come nigh,
Till Cherry ripe themselues doe cry.

will i ever feel good ever ever ever again? or even experience, if just for one day, what it's like to be a normal healthy kid?
i don't remember the last time i had a whole day with no pain, i'm such an 80 year old
but as they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but if it does kill me i want a moon bounce at the funeral...hell yea. They'll say what a nice kid a was and how good of a student i was and how i wanted such a big future, and then just when everyone is all teary eyed...MOONBOUNCE! it's perfect!
but don't worry, i'm not going to die. i'm just having one of those setback days, tomorrow i will go out with friends and not give a damn how i feel like i do every day :)
I wish AE would get around to those interviews
peace

happy belated thanksgiving, i hope everyone's turkey was yummy. i on the other hand had no turkey cause i was sick :( boo. but i took home leftovers and had my dinner later when i felt ok, it was delicious. my aunt showed up with lipstick all over her face, keep in mind she's about 190,000 years old, but it was kind of funny cause all of her teeth were pink and she looked like a three year old that had gotten into her mother's makeup. none the less i took her into the bathroom and fixed her up.
the weekend was beyond amazing, jason came home and i was elated, then we had martha's birthday sleepover which was such great fun, so pretty much nobody slept all weekend.
and the last bit of exciting news, i may be going skiing with collin over winter break! i haven't gotten to ski since my last knee surgery, and i plan on warming up on a black diamond..eeeeee, skiing is my drug i think, that or my high....perhaps skiing is my drug and jason is my high. i should consult billy, he knows about getting high :P
i get to go pay my good friend the doctor a visit tomorrow, isn't that just so exciting? you know it.

waaaaaaaaa district auditions tomorrow, oh how i hate them because i never make it. i'm 0 for 2, but this time i'm gonna do it, i hope. if i am a good singer why don't i make anything ever? this is why i don't believe people when they tell me i have a good voice, because i have nothing to show for it...ho hum, but because of this it is my quest for tomorrow to turn that around if i'm able to move enough to go ::crossing fingers::
sidenote: i love our chemistry class, it makes me happy
i'm gonna go ice my neck cause i'm retarded and pulled a muscle :P
current mood:  nervous
current music: switchfoot- beautiful letdown

wow i dunno if i can handle these long days, three AP's, and being really sick...we'll see how this goes
so i went to school, which was less stressful then expected because my teachers are actually being really cool about all the school i missed/will be missing. they've all pretty much told me i can take as much time as a want to complete things, yay! this is why senior year is cool...teachers don't care as much.
then after school was GSA, and we ordered shirts kinda, it was exciting. so then i got changed and was off to conditioning and i got home around 6:30, ate dinner and now have all my homework ahead of me...gah
if i don't start on homework until around 7 i don't know how i'm going to accoplish the amount of work i have because conditioning is every day of the week plus saturday. as i said, i guess we'll see.
crew isn't really what i was hoping for this year. i thought it was gonna be just like season one except we would be better, but now we have an asshole coach and people from last year all think they're the shit, and all the ego trips flying around make me want to gag. "rar, look at me lift this big heavy weight. aren't i just amazing?" no. no you are not. in fact there is something about a guy lifting weights that really turns me off, i don't know, i'm just weird like that...but seriously, it's just one big testosterone frenzy, there are a select few that have remained down to earth, but to all that think they are god's gift to crew (or women) your not and you make me sick. the end. hahaha....yea, that was just on my mind all practice but i also as a result came to the realization that humility is my favorite trait in guys. I have always hated jock like mentalities, but nobody in crew had that last year, but now everyone has changed and i'm remembering why i avoided sports for so long. maybe their heads will pop and they'll all fall back down to earth. mmm, wishful thinking
peace

so i just spent the night in the ER, it was so much fun.
I started vomiting blood but my parents weren't home, so i called my doctor and he made me go to the hospital...oh joy. so i get there feeling like crap and all the nurses are dressed up like prisoners for halloween or something, that didn't make me feel any better. after making me put on a paper dress and taking all my blood they decide, hey, we're gonna send you to x-ray then when you come back we have a surprise for you! what's the surprise you ask? i two foot long tube that they fed through my nose into my stomach!!! then, when it couldn't get any better then pumped out all of my stomach contents so that they could 'examine' them. rar. so then after all of that fun stuff, and after i flashed half the people in the ER cause my stupid gown thing wouldn't tie shut, i got to go home cause the doctor didn't know what was wrong, oh the genious of the medical community.
so that was my great adventure, i was planning on eating tacos, but that didn't work out as planned. maybe next time.
current mood: sick

hello out there!
this is gonna be hard keeping a journal here and for school, wowzers.
anyway, homecomming rocked hard, martha went home and that is sad...but we had an awesome week with her as always i mean how could you not have fun with martha? i also saw a lot of ashley and she is the sweetest, i love her to death
Ashley- "I love the color of these walls!!"
Ryan- "They're white."
hahaha
so the actual homecomming game was dumb, and i fell down the bleachers, ouchies. But the dance made up for it, and now everyone is sore from dancing, and tired from being up so late. I love you guys, you rock ;)
peace
