Hi. It's been awhile! I feel like I've been swamped busy, but I really haven't been. Now that the play's done and over with I've got a lot more time after school to be lazy and sleep, which isn't necessarily a good thing but. What can ya do. Speaking of the play, it went well! I attended the Saturday night show and the Sunday matinee and I'd say both ran smoothly. I particularly remember Brianna's scream at the Sunday show being above par. So kudos to you, Bri. I wasn't at the opening Friday show since I saw Devendra Banhart play at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston. It was a beautiful show, to say the least. The Center was awesome itself, and the atmosphere was awfully laid back and relaxed. I thought it so sweet that Devendra let each of his band members from The Grogs showcase a little something each of them had written themselves. Devendra's a funny guy. Alex, Alex, Kelly, Kevin, Kara, Mia and I all went out to pizza afterward. My slice was rather spicy. Oh, and totally teared up during I Remember, not gonna lie.
So aside from that, I haven't been doing much else, socially wise at least. I've been sitting in front of my computer a lot and starting projects that I know will take ages to finish. I'm still excited for them though. I don't want to reveal much yet, but the first I'm doing is a type of collage using only fortunes from fortune cookies, another involves receipts from food and clothing purchases, and another consists of cutting and pasting macbook photos like these:
Fun it shall be. Also, it's snowing outside right now for the first time since that one flukey day in October. I can't wait to spend break days laying in snow heaps and drinking hot chocolate while I wait for the feeling in my toes to come back. Winter rules.
So yesterday I didn't have school because it was an inservice day and I was supposed to hang out with Chris Bunce, Tyler, and Mia but plans got muddled so instead I sat in my pajamas and talked to Kara on the phone the entire day, making wishlists for Christmas online. I've never done that before, but Kara convinced me to and it was actually fun and my mom is actually ordering me my list! We never do much for Christmas anymore, so it was pretty surprising to me that she said she'd be willing to buy me all these thangz. Here's what I asked for, if you're interested. The first set is all from that online store, ModCloth. Two pairs of leggings, a ring, a watch, and a pair o' suede flats. And the bag is from urbanoutfitters. I need myself a solid bag.
(SUCH a funny picture ^
makes me laugh every time)
Well, that's enough of my selfish desires. I didn't ask for anything else, no books, no nothing. There's one or two CDs I'd like to have in hand but I doubt they're in fye already, if at all, so. That's that!

I was going to tell you yesterday what my line up for the night was, but I might as well just tell you about my night now that the day's already passed. I went to mass for four and for the first time we had a contemporary band play instead of having all the old catholic ladies bellow to us in incomprehensible speech from the balcony above. And we sat up front too, so it was probably the first time in over a year that I heard every word the priest said. I was kind of interested though, I must admit. He was talking about Da Vinci's painting methods..
Anyway. After mass we headed on over to the Holy Cross gym for a pasta dinner for Saint Michael's. So weird, being there again and having some woman I don't know tell me that I'm in Saint Michael's and not Holy Cross. I sat with my parents and their friends and chatted it up with Mrs. Rivers who is so in love with me it's ridiculous. And Brianna invited me to see Mrs. Bedore with her and her sister and her sister's friend and we did, it was wondrous. I had a good time.
After thaaat we ended up picking up Mia and going to a game for Springfield's one and only, brand spankin' new basketball team, The Armor, or The Armors, or Armor, or something like that. We lost really, really bad, and it was pretty humiliating since our city was born to the founding of basketball as a sport, so.. Embarrassing? Yes, very. But Mia and I enjoyed ourselves all the same. There was this lively black family that filled the row behind us and the grandmother of the family was pretty vocal and sassy. She yelled, "OKAY, OKAY. OKAY, RUN IT. RUN IT, OKAY. OKAY," just about the entire night. My favorite part about her was when our team did something wrong (which happened a number of times) she'd yell, "AWWWW SHEEEEITTTTT!" in a very high pitched tone. And when she started dancing during half time she tapped Mia and I on the shoulder, so we got up and danced with her. Gotta love it.
Oh, and our team mascot is the biggest joke. So that was my night in a nutshell.
Now quick! Here's some funny photos Mia and Derek made for me a few nights ago!

and one I made! :
The original photos that these were drawn over were taken on this past New Year's Eve. Sean and I were a little hyper and decided to take photos of ourselves mid-air.. Speaking of Sean, today he and I hung out in his room (pictured) and pretended to beat each other up. I would punch and slap and bite the air, and he would throw himself onto the bed or the floor as if what I was doing was actually happening to him. He's really good at it, he could totally be a stunt double. We bond in the weirdest of ways.
Today's my dad's birthday, he turned 52 so it was a party all day. My grandma and my uncle came over (they're the party) and we all hung out and had an early dinner and dessert so my dad could go to the radio station which is where he is right now. Ryan made scallops as an appetizer and ooohhhh maaa gawwwt they were sooooo good. He really should become a chef, he makes da bestest fewd. We all watched home videos after we'd finished at the table and that was amusing, to say the least. I was the weirdest little kid. Not to say that this hasn't changed..
Man, I just do not want to go to school tomorrow. I should probably finish this up, I still have a history paper to write and a chemistry worksheet to do.The first two photos are of Annabu. She's one of my favorite girls from lookbook and yes, I like lookbook, as pretentious as it may be.
