-Kingston Inn burned down, one of my favorite Inn's now lost.
-I now own a Nano iPod.
-I also now own a "vintage" (brand new and beatiful) Schwinn Bicycle "Majestic"!
-My PSA for Film-Making starts Production tomorrow, I am an assertive Director. I hope I'm the good kind of assertive.
-Went with Rachel to her Young Womens, did things that will never leave the church involving boots and lines, and Dancing with McKay while he held Sunflowers in his teeth.
-Like my job at L&T still, but feet starting to suffer from all the standing.
-Getting Rachel an application to L&T, it'd be so cool if she worked with me!
-Becoming a popular writer, heard from a couple of last year's litmag staffers that the editors this year are anticipating reading my application, as well as Lawrence. It's weird because Lawrence has told me for two years now that I'm a "shoo-in" but they still want me to turn in an application. I suppose it's just because they keep them and like to look over them.. I feel a tad pressured now when I write, but I enjoy it and writings been so wonderful to me.
-Loving AP English and AP Studio Art. English with Drake is wonderful. Heavenly. I'm intellectually in love with him. Dad says Drake told him at P/T Conferences that I'm "just wonderful" "a delight to talk with" "a natural writer" "going to make a wonderful english teacher" and such. I was so happy to hear all of this.
AP Studio Art is also wonderful. I'm ahead of the class by two assignments, kind of three, and so I get to just do my own thing, make some zooms and personal composition impressions. I love it so much, and I love hanging out with Rachel.
-A Holocaust Survivor named David Faber came to talk to us this week, on 9/26. He was the only survivor in his family, aside from his sister who fled to London illegally before anything, never really saw her again though, I think he said. He watched his brother (who was a member in the Résistance and was betrayed my ahis partner) tortured to death when he was in his early teens and watched his mother die helplessly of a heart attack while they were in hiding with his sisters. He went to 9 different concentrations camps. He was amazing, he gave a beautiful talk. He has a book calle "Because of Romek" --Everyone should read it. After school that day, Betsy and I were feeling so humbled and depressed and just, god.. Anyway, we got together and watched "The Pianist" that night. I hadn't seen it before that. Wow.
-I feel a little distant from Karen lately. We're supposed to study for the ACT together, but we haven't really seen each other at all out of school. She's way close to Candra, which I wouldn't be jealous of, but it seems she's definitely a higher priority to see than me. And that's not totally fair, it's not like I'm saying to Karen everyday "hang out with me!" because I hardly ever, but still. I call her.. she hasn't really called me this year.. I won't stress about it. I mean, she's trying her damndest to do well, and by god, she has been making amazing improvement on her grades compared to last year, as am I, so... We'll see. I love her though.
-I'm starting to become closer and closer to Rachel. I really love her as a friend, and it's so, so nice that she's Spencer's sister too. I went to church with Spence and the family last Sunday, and it was Fast-Sunday, so people were bearing their testimonies. Rachel went up and said hers then when she came back down, she told Spencer and I that she was half-planning to just say "I love my Family, my Friends, and my Marque" not meaning, she says, that I'm neither friend nor family, but that I'm both. I love her.
-I need to start making more of an effort to hang out with Betsy and Karen. I have a newfound appreciation for Betsy now that she's working. I've been way irritated with Dustin lately because he won't find a job and is basically a bum. He doesn't have his dirver's license so he uses that as an excuse to not get a job but Betsy doesn't have a license either and maintains a job at Jamba Juice. AND she's still an amazingly artistic girl, jeez, I'm so proud of Betsy. I love her.
-Austin, one of Spencer's friends, and now one of my, is also someone I've become closer with. When I see him in reality, we joke and have a wonderful time. Online and such, we're both saps. I love it. I can talk to him about romance and Spencer and love, and he'll talk about his pursuit for Mary Anne in a world full of Gingers and it's just so much fun. I love Austin too.
-My life is definitely lacking Sam, McKay, and The OC. How can I fix this?
-Sam heard me singing the other day and told me I was "in the band"! I'm sure this band is pretty disjointed anyway, but whatever! Someone likes my voice, no matter how mousy I think it is! Awesome. But really, I can belt out and carry a harmonious tune every once in awhile. I'm just so shy.
-Need to write Fi back. And Clara too. Well, I just need to write Clara in general.
-I have been trying to reach Jack about writing some music together and collaberating with me and my films. Must get on that.
-Life definitely lacking Spencer, but what can I expect? He's a student-filmmaker, there will be our parts and reunions, at least we made this last weekend definitely worth our time. I fall in love with him all over again every time I see him.
-He also brought me to see Corpse Bride this weekend. I personally loved it. I loved the music, the story and the animation has improved so much! The emotion these puppets can convey is phenomenal. I want to see it again.
-Life is wonderful! Straight-A's, teacher's I love, a good job, and a healthy, fulfilling, intoxicating love life! I'm ecstatic!
