hey hey!
so yesterday after an easy [yet hot] track practice i had the third, and last, markette tryout. i'll cut to the chase: i didn't make it but laura and meliss did and i'm sooo happy for them because i love them like whoa. i think tyler n., dayna, alex, mia, sam r, and another 8th grader made it too. so yay for them. of course i was sort of dissapointed but i dont know, i guess it worked out because i cant do kicklines/leaps for shit and also i'd be stressing so much over practicing the dances and the summer camp they have and stuff. the people who made the team deserve to be on it and are definitely better dancers than me. at tryouts i totally fucked up my kicklines and leaps. actually, when doing leaps i ripped a hole in my sock so when i went across the floor with each bound i took there was a loud "Squeeeak" and it was lovely. we had to try out in groups of 2-3 people so i was with dayna d and melissa. even though i'm okay with not making it of course, it still hurt. i don't know- to be honest i'll hate having to tell people in school "i was the reject who didn't make it." heh, so please save me some dignity and don't ask "How were tryouts?!" if possible. i understand if you do though. but actually, i'm doing much better and this is all thanks to three lovely young ladies.. katie, hilary, and ruddock.
for starters, ruddock baked me a cake and brought it into school the day of tryouts to wish me good luck and made me a sign. then katie made a poster and got people to sign it wishing me luck, just because she's adorable. i wasnt that upset when i didnt see my number on the list of people who made it, but in the car ride to katies after tryouts around 7:30 i felt very blehh and started crying [because i'm a puss] but once i got to katies, katie, hilary, and ruddock all came up and hugged me and were soooo incredibly sweet. i felt bad because we were supposed to go to applebees but since i was late we only had time to go to mcdonalds. but we did, and i had the best damned grilled chicken caesar salad ever. then we went to loews and saw "13 Going on 30" where we ran into alycia and shannon. the movie was soooo cute, such a chick-flick with the corny lovey ending and everything! i was actually all teary eyed towards the end [what an emotional day!] while we were waiting to be picked up by good ol' vincenza mcnulty, hilary randomly went up to some ghetto-ish kid she thought was hot and asked if she could lick him. [why, i do not know.] and he simply responded, "Uhh.. where?" Hilary's intellegent reply, "Anywhere." the entire conversation i was behind her pissing my pants.
then we went back to katies and did the craziest shit. we made up the stupidest games and talked til 5- even though we woke up around 8 to make chocolate chip pancakes bc hil had a softball game. i ate SOO much last night and feel gigantoid but it was well worth it.
then today i went with katie to work at the "Rainbow Spring Fair" at middle gate from 11:00-3:00. we helped with the "fish-bowl" station where we scooped fish into plastic bags for like an hour [which was real lame because all the fish kept dying and we were afraid to give kids dead fish], a football throwing station, a can throwing station, face painting, and some other fishing game. we tried to win a cake on the cake walk, but kept losing to 5 year olds because we sucked. but overall, it was very fun. after katies, the rest of the family picked me up from her house and drove me to my uncles surprise dinner at some fancy italian restaurant. i was all sad because all my relatives were there but melissa wasnt because she had to go to her friends bat mitzvah =( but i chilled with my 2nd cousin, victoria, who's 4 and absolutely adorable. i find her adorable because she hit ben in the balls, started giggling, and did it again. "it takes balls to hit balls"-- my new modo.
tommorow my mommy is taking me to the trumbull mall [or another one? just not danbury] so i'm all happy. and i'm glad the stress of markette tryouts is over, because i was really losing sleep over it. i don't know, i feel a lot more relaxed knowing that it's all done with. i don't think i'm trying out next year. i'll probably do soccer again next year, though i'm not looking to captains practices and summer camp in august because those are brutal oh well, i shall enjoy the rest of the year in peace. i'm out because i'm dead tired. peace, mofos.
