all fun and no blog makes annie a very dull girl.

um.

wednesday was a very nice improv. beforehand jon played us a new song he'd written, and i asked to see the lyrics later. talking and flirting. he makes me happy.

thursday we had a half day. it was quite nice. i came home for a bit, and then i went to play frisbee with rachel, sarah, audrey and joe. i had listened to my summer mix cd earlier, so i was nostalgic times ten. it was awful. but i ended up having fun. we climbed a tree and sat there for awhile. i wish i'd had my camera.

after that was the ben folds concert!! i didn't know him that well, but what i'd heard, i liked, and he was going to be in town... so yeah. sarah and i went. we stood in line for a little over 2 hours, and then sat waiting for another hour. we had great seats, but then they let us go up and stand. we had an amazing view for the opening band, who were called the fray. they were AMAZING. they sounded great and i loved watching every single person in the band. anyway, afterword we had to go check on our stuff and i needed a drink... at the water fountain i was talking away to drew and totally missed when the band walked right by me. i didn't even look. it made me really mad.

so we lost our spots... but we were still pretty close and could see well. ben folds is my new hero, pretty much. he's the nerdiest guy i've ever seen, but HOT DAMN, i've NEVER seen anyone rock a piano like that before! but he was so funny... and sounded amazing.. somebody shouted something random and he made up a song about it. on the spot. it was great. and then he covered a dr. dre song. the last song was my favorite... the one i'm listening to now (i have been all day, haha)... there's three-part harmony, and he taught it to us, and we sounded AMAZING. at the end he got up on the piano and conducted us and started this really cool rhythm thing. so great. so sarah and i were on a major high afterwords. hahaha.

today was enrichment... i could go on for awhile about how much i dislike the people in my dance and philosophy classes, but i'll only touch upon it. the people in dance all came cause they thought it was hip hop. we improv'd to nickelback. it was hell. and everyone in philosophy has the most closed mind i've ever heard.. which is completely wrong for that class.

after school i had to pick up the cookie dough i sold for french. two full boxes. 36 pounds. carried from end to end of the school. i thought my arms were going to fall off... and i was sweating and stuff... i still can barely lift a pencil. hahaha. and i'm having trouble typing. it's weird.

today is my daddy's birthday so we're going out to dinner and then i'm going to night watch, the school play. and probably the cast party afterword... at perkins... and people from sound of music are going there too. so it'll be cool.

could it be that everything goes around by chance?
♪: the hold steady - little hoodrat friend

blah. sorry. i've really felt too crappy to update. umm... sunday i went to cedar point with teresa, yay! i was really freaking tired, and therefore somewhat glad i hadn't gone with dan and jon the night before. the bus ride UP was ok.. i hate buses, though. we watched 'freaky friday', haha. it made me all anxious for some reason. anyway, yeah, how many people can say that their first big rollercoaster was the raptor? probably my new favorite rollercoaster, too. i was still pretty tired until we rode the magnum late in the afternoon. it was soooo much fun. there were all these bunny hops so you stayed in the air for ridiculous amounts of time. i busted my shoulder, too. but it was so worth it. the highlight of the day was the millennium force, duh. we waited in line for an hour, playing 'would you rather'. i wasn't scared the entire time... but once we were getting in the cars and going up that first hill i was freaking terrified. i had to shut my eyes at the top of the hill.. but OHHH MAN, on the way down... most incredible feeling ever. dropping straight down at 90 mph... we couldn't stop talking about it afterwords. probably one of the top 10 greatest things i've ever done. seriously. anyway, i didn't have anything to eat all day except cheese fries and a donut, so on the bus ride home i was starving AND bus sick, and my throat hurt. it was hell. i tried to sleep but the movie was loud and the boys in front of us were obnoxious.

so the next morning i woke up with a fever and i basically couldn't move. i HATE staying home from school, but i didn't want to get sicker. so i stayed home and watched tons of crappy tv. and slept. a lot. this morning i didn't feel much better, but i really HAD to go to school, cause i'd missed enough. so i did... and i felt like i was going to pass out all day. it was really hard getting caught up. i have a chemistry test tomorrow, and i have to do all my math homework, and i had to take tons of notes. but it'll all work out, eh?

earlier i felt like doing a lot of ranting about how people always talk about other people, and stuff... but all i have to rant about now is dan. not how dan bugs me, but how it bugs me that he bugs other people. if you try to overanalyze him and figure him out, you're just going to get really screwed up and confused. i understand him because i don't TRY to understand him, you know? and i can tell that he sometimes treats me differently. he thinks about things other than himself - which he doesn't often do (it's not cockiness or arragance, it's just the way he thinks) - and he admits his faults. argh... i wish people could see him the way i do. and now i'm done ranting.

i'm also dizzy and i can't see clearly.

♪: the killers - mr. brightside

hello there. this is really early because i had to get up early cause i'm going to cedar point with teresa today... lmao. it's free. i'm excited. only dan called me last night and he and jon were going to the movies at 11 and needed someone to drive them cause they have their cinderella licenses... yes, annie at the movies with ONLY dan and jon... but it's ok. although i'll admit i was frustrated. haha. but he understood that i'd TOTALLY be there if it wasn't for the fact that i had to get up at 6.

the old people yesterday were really cute. they're just like little kids again when they get old. i helped some make spiders. this one lady absolutely could not figure out how to bend the legs... and she and this other woman found this to be the funniest thing ever. it was so pathetic. but sort of cute too.

then i went shopping and found a harvest dress, and then i went to the halloween parade with whitney. it was cold and the parade wasn't too exciting, but it was tradition, so it was fun. but we couldn't find any hot chocolate. sigh.

so i've got to go and find my earrings and do my hair before cedar point. yes, i'm excited. just tired. and i'll be more excited once i get there. haha.

♪: the killers - all these things that i've done

oh, yesterday was so lovely. absolutely the perfect way to spend a day off. ♥

i slept in... ish... and then we went to meet my cousins and my grandma for lunch. wendy's. i really detest fast food. i eat their french fries frequently, but it's takeout. i hate sitting in there and blahhhh. anyway, sarah, isaiah and tommy are still adorable. we went back to my grandma's house and played games and stuff... hehe, they're so cute.

afterword i went over to leah's with sarah and we knitted and listened to rent. i finished my hat. it's pretty fricking cute. it matches the scarf i knit(ted?) last year. and i still have a bunch of the yarn left, so i'm going to make a matching ipod cozy and then trade some to leah for some of her fuzzy stuff. rent is freaking awesome. and i know what's going on now, so a) i'll understand the movie, and b) i can listen to the songs randomly when they come up on shuffle and begin to learn them. teehee.

after that we came back to my house, and rachel, emily and dan came over. akljkjksdkf dan hs no hair. but it's ok. i FINALLY freaking saw donnie darko and rocky horror. perfect halloween movies, eh? hahaha. but yeah... i really loved donnie darko and i actually understood the ending. i mean, i get WHAT happened... just not exactly HOW it happened. but i don't think anyone does unless they've seen it an analyzed it over and over. rocky horror is fucking weird. but hilarious. anyway, i finally got the massage dan owes me and my shoulders feel much better. haha. and the quote of the night was, "we're not really sitting on a couch unless we lose track of whose limb is whose." it's so perfect. :) and the other themes of the night were transvestites and time travel. (rent, donnie darko, rocky horror. you figure it out.)

today i have to go play games and do crafts with old people. but it should be okay. i looooove 3-day weekends.

thursday, i don't care about you
♪: the cure - friday i'm in love

oh, i feel much better now. BECAUSE WE HAVE A 3-DAY WEEKEND!!! and also improv, my friends, and amazing skirts make me happy.

jon came to improv yesterday. i didn't get to talk to him. i miss him. a lot. i haven't had homework or dance all week, so i've had major chill time. it's been pretty sweet.

umm... i wore my hippie skirt and headband today, and they were making me happy. and i had a pretty good day. we walked in circles in gym class instead of playing colony ball.

tonight is trick-or-treating, but i'm not going... i'm going over to help emily pass out candy. and then we might go to a little party get-together thing afterword. funness. and TOMORROW i'm going to leah's house with sarah, and we're going to knit and listen to RENT. i still haven't listened to the whole thing in order. and THEN we're coming back to my house, and rachel and dan and maybe emily are coming, and we're going to watch DONNIE DARKO. i'm really excited.

yeah, i make it sound like that's easy. it just got worked out. this group of people has a hell of a time working out plans. so rachel made me call dan because "we're good at working out plans". psssh. so not true. but yeah, we worked it out and then i ended up talking to him for like 45 minutes afterword. haha. it was great.
