1. today i woke up early to go to school and take pictures/get quotes for the annual reagan band 5k.  it was actually really fun?  i like covering school events and all the band kids were really nice and cooperative and helpful and etc.  the drum line flirted with me.

    i picked up breakfast tacos for my dad and i then i came home for an hour, uploaded pictures and wrote my news story, and then went back to school for theatre rehearsal.  i was there for nine hours? yes nine.  i’m the best light board operator there ever is or was.  

    i got home, published my story, and now i’m going to read three chapters of the great gatsby and promptly go to bed.

    bitches get stuff done.

  2. i miss you but i just miss you really as a friend and i wish things could go back to being the way they were before i messed everything up!!!

  3. alison whittington and victor carrillo are my favorite people in the whole world and there’s nothing you can do about it.

  4. ok we’re going to make like 1865 and RECONSTRUCT!!!

    i’m going to do things right and i really mean it this time and this blog is a testament to my commitment. 

    i’m going to focus less on myself and my **emotions** and more on other people

    i’m going to procrastinate less

    i’m going to spend less time on The Internet and more time doing productive things

    i’m going to do more yoga (hey kris how many times have you said this SO MANY TIMES)

    i’m going to stop talking bad about other people god this one is important

    i’m going to be more sociable and conversational 

    i’m going to tell more stories and learn how to be funny again

    i’m going to try to make new, different friends?  i don’t know where to even begin to accomplish this, but it’s really time that i spent time around other people.

    i’m going to learn how to be more eloquent and more open 

    i’m going to eat healthier

    ok that’s all those are the things i would like to focus on and i think these are all reasonable things to ask of myself

    ready, set, go!!!!!!

  5. we’re going to get over this quickly.  like a band-aid.  only faster.

  6. well i guess “we had a nice run”  ”i’ve learned from my mistakes” “this is probably for the best”

    i was in a horrible mood all day but i managed to be nice to mostly everyone :-)  in fact, i think i’m a more pleasant person when i’m trying to compensate for a bad mood.  

    i’m going to ayleen’s house later to watch movies!!  good.  a nice fun friday night is in order.

  7. yesterday my psych teacher was talking about asperger’s.  he said “people with it are really smart but typically have social problems — they’re quirky.”  he talked about how they have trouble functioning in social situations.

    that’s uh

    that’s me.

  8. oh and guess what!!!!  we may be going to new orleans in the summer and then iceland for new year’s :-)

  9. hi

    ok wait i have a muscle cramp

    ok we’re good.

    if i could plan out my life here and now here’s how it would go:

    i would graduate from high school with lots of scholarships and some nice memories and immediately invest in an almost entirely new wardrobe.  i would attend the university of texas at austin and i would have a really cute dorm and a good circle of friends and i would work so hard for every class and i would be a staff writer either for the daily texan or for the texas travesty or maybe both.  i would be hip with the kids in the indie music scene (all of them) (i mean it’s austin) and maybe write for a music blog or run my own.  i would go to lots of cool parties (with music) (it’s austin) and date lots of cute people.  in the summers i would either intern for publications like the austin chronicle or go on humanitarian trips or be an RA at a youth camp like cty.

    then i would graduate with even fonder memories and bright optimism for the future.  i would start a career maybe at a paper in austin or somewhere else or maybe i’d write for a magazine like variance.  i would continue to write music blogs and go to lots of shows and have a large network of people both in the music and journalism worlds.  i would probably barely make ends meet sometimes but i would do lots of yoga and keep good faith.  

    eventually i would find The One and maybe we’d move to canada or maybe we’d stay in austin but it wouldn’t really matter.  i’d continue writing for various publications or just one publication, but no matter what i would love it.  eventually maybe i’d have kids and i’d have the type of family - loud and honest and friendly and loving - that i like the most.  i’d have a cute house with cute furniture.  along the way there would be a lot of traveling.  

    maybe eventually i’d write a book or become a professor or a teacher.  yes this would be good this would all make me happy.
