   *Panics*
Ok...My family got together in the living room a little bit ago to say the rosary (we try to say one every Sunday) and right before we started, Dad announced that Mom's pregnant!!! If you don't already know this, I'm the oldest of 10...actually...of 13 now...See, the reason I'm panicing is because my Mom is almost 43. She's had two miscarriages in the last three years, and I'm afraid for this next baby. He/she is due around Halloween...I'm gonna be three hours from home, up at college, nineteen!! by then....*freaks out* Please, if you're religious at all, please pray for this child!

Well, Prom was alright last night. I danced with my friend mentioned in my last post. I was getting really depressed. He said I'm one of the five ppl he wants to keep in touch with next year. I really wish he was straight.... *tears*
Anyway, now I'm really tired (we didn't get back from After Prom 'til 3:30 or so...) And now I have reading homework for tomorrow...I really do not want to do it....
Later, ppl

   *sigh* Crazy days
Well...things have been interesting the past few days. I'd like to say, "Happy Birthday, Matt!" even though he doesn't come to this site. He's one of my best friends. However, he's been buggin' just a bit. He's one of the other MCs, and they keep shoving me aside. (Of all the MCs, I'm the least popular and the only one who hasn't been in Madrigals...) I felt like crying earlier today, but that was probably a combination of things...*shakes head*
Oh well. Let's be happy!
On Tuesday, I was baby-sitting for my regular family, and I ended up watching Little Nemo after the kids went to bed. Now, there's an interesting little movie. As far as I can tell, it was one of the first anime-ish movies to make it on the U.S. market. Watching the credits, you notice that many of the names are Japanese. However, one of the voices is done my Mickey Rooney! (of all ppl...) The movie was made back in '93. We bought it around then, before I had any idea what anime was. I remember thinking that it looked different, but it never occurred to me why. (At the time, I was a stalwart Disney fan...Disney alone for animated movies.) lol
Before I go for the day, I'd like to thank all the people who've signed my guestbook. As of right, the most recent was Patita. She likes my funny posts! *blushes* I need compliments to keep me sane! Thank you, Patita!
Have fun everyone! I probably won't post again for awhile. I have Prom this weekend and Eagle Esprit all of next week....*groans*

   Blood, sweat, and tears
*cries to self* Ok, my computer's messing up, so twice now when I've tried to go to the HTML Tutorial, My Computer's frozen, and I've had to restart the Internet. So, finally, I just when directly to founderweb.com. Then, when I clicked something on there, the stupid computer froze up again. So, I've restarted the internet again. Screw any formatting....I'm thisclose to either crying or throwing this piece of s*** out the window.
Blood
As you may have seen from duorocks17's recent post, we had a Blood Drive at school yesterday. I was really excited to give blood because I felt like I helped people last year when I did it. So, this time, I tried to be better prepared. I drank lots of water all week and made sure I was one of the first people to go. I get into the room, lay down to give blood, and my nurse comes up to me. The first thing I notice, is that she has a bad speech impediment and seems confused. I start thinking, "I really hope she knows what she's doing..." She asks me to start squeezing the little ball. My left hand is pretty weak, but I don't want to give blood out of my right arm becuase I want to be able to use it the rest of the day. So, I already have a bandaid on my left middle finger (they have to prick your finger to check for iron content), and it's a little difficult to squeeze the stupid ball. The lady has a bit of trouble finding the vein, but she finally puts the mark on my arm and sticks the needle in. It hurt more than I remembering hurting last year. I keep squeezing the ball like she asked me to, but it hurts a little bit each time I squeeze. I can feel the needle moving a bit. I tough it out and try to think about the people who can use my blood (I'm a universal plasma donor.) Several people come up to me saying, "Are you doing alright?" I watch, and they're not saying that to anyone else I can see...I'm starting to get worried now.
Suddenly, the lady comes back and looks at the tube connecting me to the blood bag: the blood had stopped flowing. Maybe I hadn't been squeezing enough, I don't know... So, she starts pulling the needle (not completely) and shoves it back in a slightly different spot... OUCH! I don't know if it was becuase I seem to be in pain, but she ends up taking it out and puts the swab on my arm and tells me to lift up over my head. Then she starts telling me about how I should I keep it clean and dry for the next 6 hours and not do any heavy lifting. At this point, I'm a little shocked and rather peeved that I didn't get to give a full pint of blood. I may be small, but I gave a full pint last year. So, for the rest of the morning, I was a little nauseous and somewhat light-headed. My arm hurt, and today I have a bruise on the inside of my elbow.
Sweat
So, then, after school, I have to set up for the MORP dance. Not too bad. My friends realize that I have a bad arm and are sensitive to the that. I go to the dance in the evening and approximately 50 people show up...we're a school of 1000. *rollseyes* A lot of people don't go to MORP, but this was a lot less than usually. It was a 50's theme, and I had a lot of fun (no crowd!), but I was really tired, and sweaty and gross by the end of the evening. *yuck*
Tears
Today's been a long day. I had to drive up to Newton this morning becuase I had State Music Festival...Our Chantrelle choir got a "2" rating...not bad for singing in czech...However, by the time I got to the stupid school I was really frustrated...I can't stand driving in small towns...20 mph speed limits only belong in school zones...good grief...
Combine that with being tired all day and really frustrated with this computer, I honestly am close to tears...

I hope everyone else has had a better day than mine...

Whoo-hoo!!
Well...We got into Eagle Espirit!!! We had auditions yesterday, and my friends and I made the cut w/ "Send in the Clowns". (Erin sings all pretty, and Ann and I goof off in the background with a wig and a blinking clown nose.) The judges were laughin' their butts off.
Now the only other audition I have for the show is to see if I get Mrs. Potts' solo in "Be Our Guest" (the opening song of the show). I do, however, need some ideas for skits. We have two guys and two girls, and the theme is "Time Travel"... Not everything has to fit the theme. We might do the "techno" song from homestarrunner.com (it only takes four ppl. and it was pretty big at our school for awhile.)
Well, Happy Divine Mercy Sunday everyone!
Over and out.
