Haha, oops, haven’t written in here in awhile. But oh well — semi-formal was awesome!

Brad came and everybody who met him, like, loved him, and today at lunch Jackie said that we were cute together! Hehe, my face hurt from smiling so much. Grr, I wish I had my formal pictures back already, lol — I have so many people to show them to. And I can’t decide what the best part about Saturday was: Brad giving me a single pink rose from his house before the dance (aww!) or when we went to Jai’s party, and during Jai’s turn at pinball, Brad would gently pull me to him and hold me, leaning against some chair. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but it’s the greatest feeling having your boyfriend wrap his arms around you (and of course you doing the same), and not having to speak any words because your hearts do it for you. Hehe, I just made that part up, but it is true. Hope it didn’t sound too corny. But yeah … I guess I’m a cuddling kind of person.

And know what was weird? That night I went to bed around 2, woke up around 9, and wasn’t tired, haha. How is that possible? ‘Cause if that were the case at school, I’d be knocked out ’til like noon. But oh well, I dunno … I guess I’m used to being tired now that all my friends get on late, haha.

And omg, my English midterm is tomorrow, and I really hope it isn’t too bad! I have a feeling it’ll be like how Dr. Schoberl’s were last year, so I’ll know how to study and stuff, but still … grr. Why is it that the only class that has midterms is English? Oh well, at least I take it early so I can get it over with. And with it being the first one of the year, the material won’t be too hard *knock on wood* Hehe, but yeah … well, g2g get Erica for dinner now, but I’ll talk to everyone later — bye!

Happy 16th birthday Zac (Hanson)!

I swear, this dorm has no heat, lol *sighs* I’m waiting for Brad to get on. Knowing him he’ll get on at like 1 minute to 11, lol. I hope he called earlier today … ’cause if not then semi-formal is like, not happening. But I know he did … he wouldn’t forget something that. Oh, guess what? NeverLetGo on MatchMaker is finally hooked up with her Romeo! It’s so cute, I haven’t talked to her in forever, but seeing that picture of them together made my day. I was just like, aww, they’re together now! Hehe *shivers again* Damn, someone needs to crank up the heat here. It’s freezing And I don’t know what to write. Hmm … aww, Brad showed me the poems he wrote for his ex a long time ago, and they’re, like, good. There’s so much feeling in them, I could tell he really loved her. I’m not jealous, though, ’cause on the main page of his site he wrote (on the night when he “confessed” to still loving me), “this semester sucks … I’m trying to recapture the heart of the girl of my dreams.” That’s ME! How awesome is that? I almost fell over when I read it. And I thought he never updated that site anymore. Hehe. Well, I’m gonna go read the poems over again ’cause I’m bored, lol, but ttyl!

How awesome is it that I can charge semi-formal pictures to home account? Score!

I don’t know why, but I’m suddenly in love with the movie Love & Basketball. All the other times I’ve seen it I didn’t like it, but now when I actually see almost the whole thing, I’m like damn, this is pretty good. I would be watching it right now, but it made me miss Brad, so I’m hoping he’ll get on soon

I so don’t wanna have study hall. I’m so tired, I just wanna sleep. And the end of this week and next are gonna be hell: paper due, semi-formal, midterms, parents’ weekend … *sigh* … I’m tired of everything happening all at once. I didn’t even have time to add pictures to my site this weekend — a first for me, ’cause I usually do have time. Now next weekend, when I’m only gonna be home 1 day (max), I’m gonna have like 50 - 100 pictures to put up. Fun fun. Which I probably won’t get to … I’ll either still be in dream mode from semi, really tired, or hungover from Jai’s party. If I even go. Dad has this crazy idea that I need to home at 1. Right. If we leave school at 11, get there at 11:45, leave at 12:15, and get home at 1, that leaves 30 minutes for partying. I don’t think so! Grr.

OMG, I wish Brad was here. I wish it was Friday, with no school to worry about, and we could curl up next to the fire (i.e., warmth!), eat s’mores, cuddle, and watch Love & Basketball with my friends. Aw, that’d be great. But no … it’s only Monday. I have a ton of work to do. My arm still hurts a little. I’m cold. And I miss Brad a ton already. I wonder if he’s missing me. He said he was last night *sigh* I’m so tired. Oh well, just thought I’d add another random entry in here before study hall starts. Gonna go check MatchMaker now, so TTYL. Bye.

OMG, I don’t know why, but seeing Brad last night was the best. We didn’t even do that much, hehe, but I guess seeing him after not being able to in like a month can do that *smiles* Too bad none of my friends at school were there when he came. But maybe that’s a good thing, ’cause they would’ve been freaking out. LOL, and everyone who’s seen his picture has been like, “WOAH, he’s cute!” LOL. And Maya was so funny … like she COULD NOT believe that I had a boyfriend. She kept saying over and over, “what? You have a boyfriend?” Hehe, it was funny. Anyway, back to last night … from school Dad drove Brad and I to his house. On the way Brad listened to random songs on my laptop and configured it so that I’d be able to put a CD in it and be able to convert the songs to MP3s — yay! Damn, he knows too much about computers I mean, when we got to his house he put my computer on his network and gave me like 100 songs that he liked. I was like, okay, cool! I just gotta be careful now that I don’t use up all my hard drive space … ’cause I only have like 2 GB left … but that’s a lot, so hey, I’m fine After we did the computer thing at his house and some other stuff, we went to Jai’s house, had dinner at this really good chinese restaurant called House Emperor or something, and then went back to Jai’s (and looked at jokes on the net for like half an hour ). OMG, Jai’s house is like computer heaven. Haha … he has this big 5-foot TV that he sets his computer screen to show on, a WIRELESS mouse and keyboard, and these huge, really really comfortable chairs that I could’ve fallen asleep on if I wanted to. Plus, they can fit 2 people (a.k.a. Brad and I)! Hehe … and know what was cute? On the way to Jai’s house and when Brad drove me home, since he was driving the “limo” car which has 3 seats in the front instead of 2, he had me sit in the middle (closest to him), and like held my hand and stuff the whole way. Aww *sighs* It was sweet, like sitting there in the dark next to him listening to the radio and watching the road go by. The bad part was me getting back home late (by about 20 minutes), but Dad was like, “okay, earlier curfew for you next time.” Grr. Oh well … it was worth it!

My right arm is so sore from riding. Like if I do anything other than typing it hurts. Grr … I hate horses that take a lot of strength to stop

Hi. I’m bored. The sign-in bell just rang, and I have nothing to do. Already did laundry, homework, the usual Monday stuff … tomorrow is gonna suck ’cause I have NO free periods, a riding lesson, and the growing doubt that I again didn’t make the riding team. WTF? Oh well, it’s not like my favorite thing in the world, anyway. Being manager is just fine. OMG, I’m so sick of all the high-pitched snobby sophomores in this dorm. There’s only so much screaming, chasing down the halls, and boy obsessiveness that a person can take. Geez, we weren’t like this last year! *sigh* I’m cold. Just my luck that all the internet jacks are near the door, so everytime someone goes in or out, this big gust of negative 100000 degree air blows in. Fun fun. And why is no one online? Justin’s busy with his computer project, Brad hasn’t been on all day, Shaune and Kristen hardly ever get on anyway, and the people who ARE on aren’t even my close friends. And what is up with us bombing Afghanistan and all? I mean, we aren’t even sure that Bin Laden or whoever did it. It’s not gonna solve anything, and us going to war sure as hell isn’t. Why can’t we ever do anything peacefully? This is like the first time the US has been directly involved in a war since I was born.

Well, I’m back from Williamsburg! It was pretty cool, except for it raining and being too cold. My favorite parts were talking to the “planter” on horseback, meeting the weird 20-year-old colonial Indian guy with Erica and Julie, and going on the carriage ride, hehe. Draft horses rock! And going to the candy store that I would’ve bought all of if I could Man, the caramel candy apples they had there were so good — I was like, omg. Haha. I also got a half pound of licorice (which I love), but got sick of ’cause I ate it too fast, lol — but I still like it! I also posed with a few of the soldier guys there, which was funny. It was funny watching them march around in their little colonial suits Especially when one of the guys’ hats blew off and they had to break formation or whatever to get it back — I was cracking up! And dayam, the cannons they had back there were LOUD! They were doing a little demonstration thing and all of a sudden, BOOM, my ears felt like exploding. Geez, how did they not lose their hearing? But oh well … I guess they’re used to it *shrugs* Anyway … *thinks* … Brad needs to get on! I gotta tell him what Dad said about Friday and semi. Hmm … *thinks more* … well I’m gonna go now and surf aimlessly, so ttyl!

I am now officially in love with the William & Mary bookstore. I dunno why, but Sierra had to practically drag me outta there! I couldn’t decide between 2 CDs … I wanted to get a journal and frappuccino but didn’t have time … and wanted to steal one of the free CDs from a $9 (WTF?) import magazine (’cause it had Linkin Park on it!) but didn’t have the guts. Oh well — I guess you could say I have a newfound respect for Barnes & Noble!

For those of you who care, my Smurf name is “Phil the Smurf.” I feel honored In news that someone might actually care about, lol, Brad and I are now going to semi-formal. Which I’ve never gone to before … which I hope won’t be too, like, mixer-ish and stuck-up and snobby and all, haha ‘Cause that would suck — now all they gotta do is tell me what I need to do if I wanna go to it and invite Brad. And what’s the deal with the whole “RSVP by October 15th” thing? Grr. I hate how this school procrastinates. And now Dad won’t let me go to Jai’s (Brad’s friend) party after semi-formal — it’s not like he has a good reason to! I didn’t do anything … I can’t do anything when I’m stuck here. Geez, but how stupid is that? It’s not like I’m gonna go get drunk and have sex with 10 guys. All I wanna do is spend the night with Brad *sigh* Why won’t he realize that I’m 17 and can take care of myself? Double grr. But oh well … at least I’ll get to see Brad, have all my friends meet him (especially Monica and Erica, hehe), and experience semi. Well, g2g get ready for riding now, so ttyl!

And why are the freakin’ college people so mean? They’re all like, “take the hardest classes you can and do well in them!” Haha, more like fail them. And … uh … shouldn’t you have told us that last year before we registered for classes? *sigh* Plus, the PSATs are on the morning of semi-formal. WTF? I really don’t get the college people.
