So, today started out with a bottle drive (yay Scotland fundraisers, like omz. -_-). But, you know what? It really wasn't that bad. I worked with Robyn and Adam and yeah, it was hot as hell, but it just meant that we got to run through everyone's sprinklers yelling, "Aiiieeeeeeeeee!" ^_^ And sometimes the running through the sprinklers was coupled ( Read more... )

So, today is the first Independence Day I can remember where my family hasn't had any sort of celebration. Ben and I sort of caught some fireworks last night, but this just doesn't feel like the fourth of July should somehow. Perhaps it's due in part to the current state of our country. It's all kind of depressing. I suppose I can pretend that ( Read more... )

Yesterday was an interesting experience for me. It was Robyn's birthday celebration and I wanted to not be shy or awkward...but I only knew RObyn, Adam, and Matty, which would have been fine, but Robyn and Adam were always together and Matt was always with Crystal and Sophia...and then there were the YAGgies (how do you spell that?). It was like, " ( Read more... )

So I'm becoming sort of an insomniac. I'm always tired but can't sleep at night because it's been so darn hot. Plus, everyone else in my family is up making a racket because they don't care about sleep. It's the summer! I should at least be getting my eight hours, right? Oh well. But, as it is, the heat usually causes me to have pretty strange ( Read more... )

So...I think I'm bored of summer already. (That's why I'm updating my lj, right? Except I have nothing to rant about, really, because that's been purged from my system by emailing Dominique) I've had two and a half days of it, two of those containing Scotland functions and all containing friends, but...I'm just like, "Agh! I need to do something!" ( Read more... )

I haven't been to a full day of school since last Monday and I won't again until this Thursday. Gosh, life is kind of ridiculous ( Read more... )

Since Friday, I've been telling myself that I'm going to update this. It makes more sense that way, because if I let things build up then I end up with these super long entries that everyone's annoyed about taking up so much space on their friends page. But I don't want to leave stuff out, because going back and reading old entries is always ( Read more... )

This past week has felt rather pointless. I mean, it was National Cowboy Poetry week, so Adam and I did manage to come up with a Cowboyish pohm, but that's only passing silliness. The current tragedy of my life is that Alek is no longer in Chamber Singers ( Read more... )

So, this has been by far the most enjoyable school week this year (the school year, not strictly 2007, mind you). "Why is that, Elizabeth?" you might ask. Well, I'll tell you everything right as it fell out ( Read more... )

On the upside, it's starting to look like Midsummer will be worth coming to see. Yesterday was a long rehearsal, much needed, I might add. But one of those that goes "as long as it takes" and no one's allowed to leave during the short dinner break ( Read more... )
