so it is possible to fall in love with inanimate objects. note the new layout. hahaha.

sooo yesterday was chris's movie party. lots of people... and everyone came & left at different times, so i may have forgotten someone. rachel, emily, leah, teresa, mara, christine, joey, kate, olivia, jillian, kim, sherri... those sort of people. yaylove. hehe. we watched 'the hebrew hammer', some family guy, and 'bride and prejudice', but nobody really paid attention during that one. we were making shadow puppets. haha. we also listened to a little rent and danced a bit. oh, and joey gives the best hugs ever. yeah, it was extremely fun.

this morning my mom and i drove out to the knitting store, but it was freaking CLOSED. this is the second time i've tried to go out there and it's been closed and i REALLY need yarn... so we ended up going to the joanne fabric's here. haha. i got really nice yarn there, though. i love yarn shopping. XD

and tonight is my family's thanksgiving dinner. i'm actually excited. i'm going to knit there... and play with the kids... i'm more excited about the socializing than the eating, obviously. but ish cool.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! yes, i'm listening to a christmas song on thanksgiving... it's not my fault my itunes shuffle has bad timing. anyway, yeah, i choose to get better at writing when it's vacation and there's nothing to talk about. haha, go me.

sleeping in is so wonderful. ♥ i lay in bed pretty all morning with my puppy. it was wonderful. and i was even warm, even though there's like a foot of snow outside. heh. when i came downstairs leeeeeeeeeah called me to go sledding. so i went... god, walking up the hill to get there was HELL, because i was dressed in about 6 layers, so i was overheated and chilled at the same time, you know? and it was exhausting. but worth it. sarah, kim, rachel, emily and edith were all there. we sledded for awhile and then i went back to r+e's for hot chocolate. their kitchen is looking really great and it was cozy. heh.

so my mom picked me up and then we went and got my grandma. our REAL thanksgiving dinner isn't until saturday, cause mary has to work or something, so tonight we sort of had an easter dinner. lmao, it was an accident... my dad made kugel, which is a lithuanian potato casserole thing, and one of my favorite foods ever. it was some of the best he'd ever made, too. haha. we had that and apple sauce and some other stuff. w0rd for being vegetarian on thanksgiving... and tofurkey is freaking nasty, so we don't go there. haha.

tomorrow is MOVIE PARTY AT CHRIS'S and i'm way excited. because a) pretty much all the people that were there yesterday (like 25, seriously, hahaha, and i love all of them) are going to be there. and i'm feeling really in love with joey (platonically) and jon (crushingly) right now... and i'll get to see them. and i love those people. and i'm rambling.

we're not gonna pay...
♪: rent - one song glory

today was RENT DAY! it was kind of our recurring phrase throughout the day. it was also sort of jon day for me. which could never be bad. haha. actually, my morning wasn't so hot, but honestly, that boy cheers me up beyond belief. i was sitting down at lunch and i hear "it's RENT day!" and he sits down in his old seat with us. it made me so happy. we had some good conversation, too, and on my way to english class we saw each other in the hall and smiled and he waited for me so we could talk. um yay.

after school i went to chris's house and there were lots of people there. jon came for like 5 minutes but then he had to go get his glasses *giggle* i said i'd go with him and he's like "do you really want to? yeah, come on!" but then i thought everyone would yell at me, and i'd have to get someone to buy my ticket (cause we were leaving soon and he'd be late) so i didn't go. i'm sort of kicking myself for that now. really, freaking karma. turns out kim locked her keys in her car, so she had to call for her spare. she and leah waited and i took their money and paid for their tickets. & i just realized i didn't give her all her change back. HAH. oops. i can't do math. but anyway, yeah, that happened and then i didn't get to sit next to jon. he sat down and rachel sort of went "i'll sit next to him!" so yeah. i got stuck on the end. i was really lonely. but it was okay.

THE MOVIE WAS FREAKING AMAZING. one of the best i'd ever seen. i mean, i really LOVED the soundtrack and stuff, and i was familiar with the story line, but just seeing it was... unreal. i was NOT disappointed. mimi (my new favorite character) and collins were especially amazing, as was the way they did 'take me or leave me' (my favorite song). i didn't cry until the end, but by then all of us were in tears. i knew pretty much everyone in the theater, haha, and we all hugged afterwords and sang 'seasons of love' with the credits. major whoopie moment.

and i'm really freaking glad we're on vacation now... if only for the fact that i'm going to be able to SLEEP. because i really think i'm going to die without social contact... *sigh*... but i think we're going sledding tomorrow. yays. oh, and my thanksgiving dinner is saturday (wtf?) and there's a movie party on friday. wooooooo!

so basically, GO SEE RENT. NOW. i mean, i feel sort of bitter because i knew it before the movie came out... but really, there are people that have known it a lot longer than i have, and they shared, so i shouldn't be all stingy.

these are the days that i'm split down the middle
♪: rent - tune up #1

update, update, update! sunday was rehearsal and i feel much better about the dance now. i'm actually excited. after that was the international dinner... all the food was really good and i saw jc :) he hit me with his fan. haha. leah and i had about 5 cups of iced tea which we're not entirely sure was decaffeinated... and then had to go study chemistry/geometry with rachel. CRAZINESS. we were sooooo freaking hyper and giggly. but i guess we studied enough.

tonight is ARTS NIGHT at the school. we're performing our dance piece that we're doing for cookies and milk. and the jazz band & mashapella & string ensemble will be there... which means jonnnnn... and i'm excited to perform our piece, and stuff. haha.

the rest of today i spent a lot of time skipping class (rehearsal for tonight... ahem, coughcough, pshhhhh) and working out stuff for going to see RENT tomorrow. i had to chase jon down and find out if he was coming. so i got to talk to him for like 30 seconds. i miss him. umm... yeah, i don't know what else to say except that after tomorrow it's thanksgiving vacation until tuesday. woot.

♪: counting crows - anna begins

YAWN. i am so freaking sleepy. i wish i could sleep more. i just can't. but i feel pretty damn good. satisfied. warm. content. and this week is only a 3-day week, and then thanksgiving break. lots of sleeping time. and on wednesday i'm going to chris's house and then to see rent with a bunch of people and jon is sooooooo coming. <3 i'm going to do my best to get to sit by him. haha.

sooo yesterday morning whitney called me, and she'd been to HP the night before and it was packed. so i spent the day stressing and trying to get ahold of justin and dan (she called teresa and julia) to tell them to come 20 minutes earlier. it all worked out. but my phone was kinda ringing off the hook all day and i didn't really know what to do with myself. haha. i knitted about 1/4 of my fun fur scarf, and finished it. it's really cute.

i liked the movie. i don't really know what to say about it. it didn't thrill me, and i didn't hate it. it was good. actually, the more that i think about it, it was probably the best done of the 4. i hope they keep this director. it was just SO intense, though. leah made a point that it'd drag without all the action, but like... the whole thing was so dark. it also bugs me how there are so many pretty girls and no hot guys. grr. haha. so i was there with (i'm going to try to remember left to right in the theater so i don't forget anyone) alicia, teresa, justin, julia, whitney, amber, leah, dan, and jonas. i sat in between leah and dan and we were kind of lying on top of each other... haha, it's the most comfortable i've ever been in a movie theater. we had great seats, too. so yeah. verdict is that i want to see it again to make a better judgment.

today i have rehearsal from 2:30 - 4:30, and then the international dinner. i'm so glad this is a 3-day week. my big family thanksgiving dinner isn't till saturday, but that's okay.

xoxo
