Gotta love woolsey
For those of you who may not know it, the AP lit lest is tomorrow, a fact which has been met with everything from calm reassurance to all out panic attacks. Sam was having one such panic attack in Lit today, at which point woolsey decided to give us some extra homework for tonight; Go home, rest, get some icecream and watch a movie. And because I'm such a great student, and because Sam needs something to take her mind off of studying, I'm having a movie night of sorts at my house tonight, though I'm not sure what time. If anyone's interested leave me a message or give me a call.

Help needed!
On Thursday I am planning on going to Westminster to see Jenn and Katie's one act play. I need to know who is interested in coming. It's free, so that's not a worry, and it's supposed to be really great.
I know that Bekah and Bailey are planning on coming, but I need a definite count asap. We're meeting at about 5:45 to drive up there and we'd really like all of you to come and support them!

Missing
Have you ever had the unsettling experience of being almost awake, listening to a really obnoxious beeping that’s growing louder and louder, and while it’s enough to make you uneasy about continuing, it hasn’t reached that breaking point? Yeah, I thought not . . .
That pretty much sums up my life for the past little while. I’ve been really unsettled, anxious about college, money, jobs, schoolwork, extracurricular and friends, yet it hasn’t reached the point where I can honestly allow myself to panic my way out of it. I’ve been really sick for the past few days, which is honestly a rare occurrence with me, but its come from pushing myself too far.
Friday night/Saturday night Cameron called me to see if I was busy. With no idea what we were planning on doing, I ended up driving over to his house. Honestly, it’s the first time in a long while that I’ve done anything purely for the heck of it, and I didn’t realize how much I’d missed it until I got there. Our plans ended up being tossed to the wind, but it was so much fun to just talk and relax with people. And that’s what I’ve been missing. I miss calling people up at 10 PM for no reason at all and talking till 4 AM about nothing important. I miss taking time to watch a thunderstorm. I miss walking in the rain with a friend. As such, I’m going to make more of an effort to actually be engaged in the people and things around me.
For some specifics;
Cameron - Thank you for forever being so you. I’m sorry for being such a whiner about past history. I’ve completely missed spending time with you presently for being so fixated on some idealistic past, and I regret it. I’m going to do my best to forget it. After all, we still need to crash that wedding reception, roast mini marshmallows, tour model homes, and do all of those other things on that list.
Bethany - *chuckles* Thank you for your attempts to bring me back into the world (or, more accurately, away from it). Your phone calls and posts always relieve so much stress and worry and allow me to be myself, rather than my obligations. Feel free to call me anytime just for a talk, and I’ll do the same. I need one of those spur-of-the-moment, no reason at all calls and I expect to hear from you soon
Jenn - I’ve neglected you over the past little while, no scratch that, a long while. I’ve been doing a horrible job of keeping up communication, and I should be slapped for it. I haven’t seen you in ages and I know next to nothing about how life is going for you nowadays. I still need to come see one of your plays/one acts and visit you there at Westminster, and I’d better see you at Footloose (which, BTW, runs April 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11). My phone number hasn’t changed and I need to find your number asap.
Addison - We must needs play! As in right now^^; Seriously, the only time I get to see you nowadays is due to debate, and even those are few and far between. Your boooooooring desk job needs a break now and then, and you need to get out to spend time with me!
Aubrey - I can’t remember a time where you were not there for me and I deeply appreciate it. Its been wonderful to just spend time with you over the past while (inversion tables and Sunday naps come to mind). Now that the stress of Mock trial is over I’ll have more time to be there in drama and ready to participate in our scene, come what may (erg..state).
Bekah - You’re one of my last sanity-savers there at Lone Peak when it comes to rant processing. We need to play, and we need to talk/rant till the wee hours of the morning before my head implodes, with it not based on any past or present school activity (not to name any names...).
Richard - You know, one of these days I’m going to have to stop being so mean to you^^; Seriously, we need to play in times other than those dictated by stressful extracurricular outings.
Adam - I’ve seen so little of you at school this year, and now that mock trial is over I fear that may end up happening again. I miss being around you, sexy beast that you are, and we need to play more in the future. Hopefully any future excursions will not involve gigantic mud bogs and stuck trucks though~_^
Hadley - The truck comment goes for you too young lady^^; We also need to play more. I miss your hugs/squeegees (funny enough, that is a word according to my spell check) and we need to talk about random stuff so’more
Justin, Loni, Katie, Bailey, Grady, and Shambray -
Except for a few brief glimpses of Justin (last Friday or so) and Katie (today) I haven’t seen any of you for months and months. Some, like Shambray and Grady, seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. What’s going on? How’s school? Friends? Life in general? I’m dying to know what’s going on.
*sighs* I proly shouldn’t do that very often. I always feel like I’m forgetting someone and as such I end up adding people until I can’t think anymore.
So yes, I’m working on it. I’m sick of hiding.

I'm not dead yet!
I'm soooooooo incredibly glad that this term is pretty much over. it's such a relief to be able to sit down and take a breather for once. As such, I also have time to update!
As far as various competitions go;
Debate is almost over with. we have our last competition next weekend. Unfortunately it just happens to be right over conference weekend. In my three years competing with debate there has not been a year that one of our tournaments has been scheduled in conflict with conference. My sophomore year it was on districts weekend and Spencer Hermansen brought a radio with him, meaning that we were sitting in a side hall of a Catholic school listening to LDS conference, which was incredibly humorous in enough itself. I'm planning on doing the same this year, though I don't know how well it will turn out. Also, Addison and Justin came by the school yesterday, which was incredibly fun, I've missed seeing both of them around. *hint hint - Justin and Addison need to show up more often - hint hint* Addison is trying to come to districts for debate, which would make the whole think better.
With Mock trial, we managed to make it to semis, though I don't know how much of a chance we have. The judge who hated the Prosecution side of the argument last time we preformed just happens to be our main judge for semis. This means that we have the disadvantage of being on the prosecution side again, but now at least we know some tricks to get higher points with him. *crosses fingers*
I'm also soooo glad that Acadec is over and I don't have to worry about it anymore. The competition was really fun, especially the parts where we weren't competing, but it was a bit of a hassle. At the end of it we managed to scrape 29 (I think) medals, and everyone came home with at least one. I got a silver in Speech, and a bronze in literature, Interview, and, strangely enough, in math. I think the Math one was my favorite as I pretty much bubbled in the entire test^^; much fun.
As for the rest, I can't believe how incredibly lonely it is without the choir people , particularly Bekah, Richard, and Adam. On the one hand you wouldn't believe how unclogged the hallways feel, but I want them all back.
And now, I'm off to do packets so I have a possibility of graduating. Love you all!

Duuuuuuuude!! You have to try these drugs!
I had a really weird dream last night that went something like this:
School as normal, only I was trying frantically to get Shepherd to help me with something (which included interrupting her class and having her banter back and forth with me while everyone watched) but to no avail. I tried talking to Smith as well but he went somewhere to refill his mug and never came back. Somehow I ended up getting frustrated and bored and decided to skip lunch and drive to AF high (which looked nothing like what the school actually looks like) in the parking lot I met Adam, who just happened to be getting out of his car as well. Deciding that his objectives were probably clearer than mine, I tagged along, meeting Crystal and other AF friends on the way. Once inside the school we searched for AF’s equivalent of the yearbook room, only to discover that someone had discovered our intentions and was tailing us. Assuming that he was a janitor, Adam and I backtracked, then hid from him for a while. Assuming that he was gone, we split up, intending to meet back in the yearbook room hallway/classroom pod. I arrived in the hallway before Adam did, only to discover that the guy who was following us was NOT a janitor, but was instead an evil AF equivalent of Adam, though he looked nothing like him. I ran away from him and ducked into one of the classrooms, which wasn’t a classroom at all, but instead it lead to a rickety old metal set of stairs overlooking this huge old airplane hangar, which was stocked with all of these really cool old planes. My shock at this (partially due to the fact that the stairway was suspended about 150 feet in the air and was really old and rusted) caused me to stop and the evil Adam guy caught up to me. Fortunately by this time the real Adam had crept up behind him and together we forced him to tell us about the place. Apparently the hangar had been there all along, and the students from various mechanics classes had been helping renovate all of these old planes for collector purchases. We finally convinced him that we meant no harm and that we had every intention of leaving as quickly as possible and Adam and I scurried out of there like two bats out of hel...heck. Driving back to the school, plots were made to come back with reinforcements to kife one of the planes and park it atop Lone Peak as a senior prank (and I think there was some mention of also adding a balloon gorilla, but I may have been mistaken). We made it back to LP free of injury, were late for 4th period, and I never did get what I wanted from Shepherd.
The End!
*note* Bear in mind I was on drugs at the time, so I claim no responsibility for how insane my dreams appear to be.
*another note* It's really disconcerting to look at the little blue kitty that is my mood icon right now.

Life update
So I haven't posted in a while so I figured I'd actually get off my butt and update.
My life for the past three days:
Friday: School (nuf said). Stayed after for debate to prepare for Regions, including trying to convince Kami that her fears were unfounded (which was proven Saturday) and that Alisha and I really didn't need to practice PF, despite having stolen cases from Brian and Clark that day, and being clueless as to the topic. We succeeded in wrangling our way out of it for the most part, and practice concluded. Apparently it was at this point that my body decided that if it had anything to say on the matter, I would end up actually sleeping that night. In a brilliant effort, I became violently ill upon arriving home, promptly went to bed, and slept until about 1:00 AM. After scrounging some food, I fell asleep again. It truly is a mark of how messed up my sleep schedule has become, as such is not out of the ordinary.
Saturday: Woke up at 6:30 (which is actually sleeping in for a tournament Saturday) to get ready for Regions @ PG. Ended up getting there late, and still ended up waiting around for postings. Upon my arrival I discovered that Addison had been roped into judging, and was taking full advantage of the casual nature of judge attire. The tournament proceeded, though there seemed to be a lot of problems with judging as far as biases. Considering only 4 schools were involved, and only 3 really brought any judges or competitors, it was to be expected. I ended up with Addison as my judge in one of my rounds. Considering some of the devices in my speech, there was a time in there that I actually though he was going to kill me (I pretend to forget part of my speech to prove a point, and he was shooting daggers at me for it). Fortunately no harm was done and my speech was approved of. At one point during the rounds I managed to get a hold of Shambray’s cell number, and, knowing that she was planning on being in town, called her to beg her to come judge for us. Though I did manage to get a hold of her, it was only to learn that she had been kidnaped to a California beach somewhere. Despite her desperate desire to come to freezing Utah to judge a debate tournament, she was being held captive by a horde of devilishly good looking male swimsuit models, who were blackmailing her into getting a tan, while they force-fed her fruit and chocolate. I personally feel lucky that such a horrible thing has never happened to me.
At about that same time I was informed that Kami’s job was in fact on the line, and that our performance at Regions was to be the determining factor in whether she was to be rehired next year. As such, the entire team was a bit on edge when the awards were announced. We needn’t have worried. Lone Peak swept the whole competition, with a first place in all but two events. Every captain but two managed to get first place in their events, and the PF worry was proved null as each of our 4 teams placed in the top five, including Alisha and I^^;
After the tourney I had planned to go visit Richard, but could not find his house for the life of me (I blame Richard for this of course). Resigning myself to spending the rest of my life directionless, I drove to Addison’s house to return his stopwatch, only to see Loni and Justin at his house ( = <3). At that, I drove home, and once again collapsed
Sunday: My entire family work up late for church, meaning that I ended up driving my siblings to church. After dropping them off I headed to Warners for Aubrey’s brother’s homecoming. I ended up spending most of the day fooling around with Hadley, Mike and Aubrey, which was a well needed break.
Which leaves Monday!
So it turns out that my cold from Saturday came back with a vengeance. Considering that there wasn’t really anything important that needed to be done today in school, I decided to stay come and placate the beast. I attempted doing some packets for graduation, but nothing much came of it, and I spent most of the day in bed. On the plus side I should be returning to school tomorrow though.
