so i am posting from my brand new laptop!! thats right, santa was really good to me this year and brought me a new hp notebook. i think he knew how much id need it for college. but its SOOOOO cool. im not bragging or anything-- just excited! and since ive had it, ive discovered photobucket and blink makers! its really amazing the things you can do when you have faster internet connection. my one problem is that my pc with all my novels, poems, and essays on it has word perfect and this has microsoft works. so im not sure how i can transfer them when the files wont convert from perfect to works... or at least, i dont know how to convert them. so you computer people, i could use some advice. oh and transferring my itunes too. i tried with a memory stick but all the songs wont fit and i dont know how to break them up, so if you know, please let me know! other than a laptop, i got some clothes, books, makeup, jewelry, money, and movies. it was the best christmas EVER! i hope all of yours was just as grand. and now im so pumped for new years! of course im going to the browns party and its gonna rock! im gonna dominate in the b ball tourney.... right. as for resolutions-- read my bible more, cut back on the diet coke, exercise much more, eat healthier (which means less chipotle), learn how to be an adult (pay bills, change a tire, do the laundry), and basically be the best daughter i can be for my parents who have worked so hard to raise me and are very upset that i will be leaving soon. im going to be 18 in 35 days. its so strange, cause 18 always seemed so old to me. it still does! and i do things i never would have thought an 18 year old would do. im still a kid! i like to wrestle with my brothers and pretend im a princess and watch disney movies and eat pop tarts and cuddle and ride in the shopping carts... i know that 18 doesnt mean i have to stop being a kid, but it makes me wonder if i will be able to survive adulthood. anyways for my birthday im getting a piercing (ya tyler!) and going to the melting pot (mmmm expensive fondue) and going sky diving (if i do my hw about it)! its gonna be the best bday ever!!!! anyways i want to hear how everyones holidays went and what their favorite present was! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

where to begin? well first, i must tell you all that i have lost my cell phone. so if you call and i dont return your call, dont be mad or sad or anything. so i guess im sorta out of contact until i find my phone or get a new one... neither of which is likely to happen anytime soon. no to update on the past month of my insane life. midummer nights dream went really well. it was actually record breaking ticket sales for the fall play... and its shakespeare! so that was really cool. then before i had time to catch my breath, me and my friend sydney had to put on the school talent show. that was an exhausting awesome experience. we had to deal with all the tiny planning details then we had to deal with all the people and then we had to deal with all the technical difficulties. other than that... ive been doing college stuff- which is really only scholarship apps for me since im only filling out one college app. i actually feel kinda bad, cause my friends are going crazy with all the college application they have to get in and im... well, not really worried abuot that. but i want to know where all my senior friends here on pleonast are applying to! we are also getting ready for our choir christmas concert. and the christmas season is always insane because our small madrigal choir gets hired to sing at all sorts of parties and stuff so we end up missing a lot of school. its neat though. and the choir gets paid, usually pretty well... of course, we personally never see that money but i think it goes into buying music and other choirly things. i hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, and in case i dont post for another month (which im gonna try really hard to update more) then merry christmas too! hey and happy new year... just to top it all off. everyone PLEASE let me know how youre doing cause i feel so disconnected from you all. and i hate that feeling. miss you love you

so florida was awesome! i had an awesome time and i can't wait til next year! i got to see all of my amazing friends and catch up with people i hadn't seen in a while. i got to watch volleyball and soccer, go to the mall and the beach, listen to a great devotion and sing in the mosi amphitheatre, and even hear the echo spot in the library. from what my mom had said about the dorms, i was afraid i was going to be swallowing spiders and taking drip showers, but i was pleasantly surprised. unfortunately, i was also surprised at the quality of the food. i mean, id heard stories, but i couldnt have guessed. on saturday, i ate a pancake, cottage cheese, a biscuit, and curly fries... ok so thats kinda my fault but it did make me kinda sick. and it was nice to see my great aunt again. shes like 75 and lives all alone way on the other side of the country from other family. but now its back to the real world of chemistry, choir drama, and late nights filled with homework and tab. i already miss everyone i saw this weekend! so, if you ever get the chance to go through the denver airport, i highly recommend going to the overpriced cantina grill, because it was the closest thing ive tasted to chipotle. better than moes thats for sure! still cant say anything about freebird's though. right now im overwhelmed with the school wide talent show that the vice presedents of choir (me and my friend syd) are in charge of organizing and the play. only 3 weeks til opening night... oh boy. its all so exciting, yet tiring.

hey guys, i hope you dont feel negelected if i havent posted on your blog in a while. i read about your life, but i dont always take the time to comment cause i cant think of something witty, or its too cliche, or im too lazy. i feel super bad cause i need to call about a billion of you but haven't. im busy but its not an excuse. i thought though that even if you hadnt heard directly from me in a while, then you might still want to know whats going on in my life. schools been going for 2 and a half weeks now and its ok. i really only have 2 solids (AP lang and chem) along with my two electives (choir and drama). lang is hard but enjoyable, chem is easy and incredibly boring. besides school, im organizing the school wide talent show with my friend sydney cause we are the vice presidents of choir this year and that show is our gig. its alot of planning but its fun stuff. then im working, though hehe im only working three days in september. i just need enough hours to stay on the pay roll until next summer when i will have a life again. then there is soccer 3 times a week and saturday games. this is my "me time". im so happy to be back in it! i wish i could practice everyday. then i just tried out for the fall play , a midsummer nights dream, and got cast as hermia. if you know the play, its kinda a big role which is exciting but time consuming. i got lots of lines to memorize. but it should be fun!! i think thats it... since i already know im going to fc i dont have college aps to worry about like my friends but i am applying for lots of scholarships. its not bad though. what else what else. im going to the state fair on monday and im so excited. i love the fair so much! i never get tired of the venders, the cows, the corndogs, the dog shows, the rickety rides, the people watching, the quarter foot messager things, the photo booths, the spray paint artist, the bands. yes its hot and yes its crowded but i dont care! so thatll prob be the highlight of my labor day weekend. although today i slept 13 hours. that was nice. im not a bum, i needed it. im a teenager... (cant use that excuse too much longer so im getting my money's worth out of it) thats all i got. i hope your lives are all going as wonderfully as mine. i love you all and even if i dont get around to calling... were still family and that doesnt mean i love you any less... it just probably means i passed out at 8 o'clock before i had unlimited night minutes.
ps. october it is!
