oh my godddd. the new POTC was sososososo good. i went last night with tsa, whitney, melissa and alicia. we couldn't get five seats together, but we sat close. we had to sit in the front section, where there's no incline, but i've never sat there before so it was semi-neat. the whole entire theater was full. haha. it was pretty cool. anyway, i am convinced that johnny depp is god. he was beautiful and brilliant and every other great adjective you could possibly describe him with. and the movie... oh man, i thought it was so amazing. i can't remember my initial reaction to the first movie, though, so who knows if it was better or worse. all i know is i love them both. and johnny depp, and kiera knightley.

so i've been in pirates land since then... i came home and couldn't fall asleep so i started to read 'diary' (which i've been working on, slowly, for ages) and ended up staying up until 2am to finish it. it was amazing. it was like... amazing story night for annie. hahaha. chuck palahniuk is the best storyteller. he gives you little bits of the mystery and when he gives it away in the end everything all makes sense, and you remember everything, you know? i highly recommend it.

i ended up having a dream containing absolutely everything that's been on my mind: POTC, diary, dan, jon, creating landscapes, babysitting, and jade puget. haha, i feel like there's more, but it was insane.

i feel special because i've worked out all my plans for today already, and i didn't even have to call anyone! first, sarah called, and we're doing the 8:30 show of POTC tonight. so i was all ready to call dan, and then he ended up calling me. hehe. it's soooo nice when he calls *me*, even if he has to, or something. so yeah, he yelled at me for seeing it already, and i go, "you better not avoid me or anything" and he says, completely seriously, and i can tell, "i'd never avoid you, annie." what followed was awkward silence punctuated by my mumbling and giggles. eeep. but it's okay, he's coming tonight. hehe. *happy*

also jill called back and we get to go visit the baby today. :] so i'm excited for that, too! AND my mom is picking me up the first POTC, so i get to watch that. good day. it'd better end well.

xoxo

hi, my name is annie and i'm addicted to blogging.

today was a college search workshop that my mom signed me up for. leah and sarah and, it turns out, mikayla, were doing it too. it was pretty cool... before the sessions started we took a tour of campus, which i already know like the back of my hand, but my mom said i'd learn some interesting stuff. and i did. still not going here, because i want to get out of this town, but y'know. also, our tour guide was basically who i want to be... she's the captain of the ultimate frisbee team, is studying in india, is a vegetarian, and is involved with the peace coalition and college dems. i was like... TEACH ME HOW TO BE YOU! hahaha. so actually my favorite part was the tour.

the seminar thingies were kind of boring. they were VERY helpful in "charting my course to college", so yeah, haha, just once they covered how to tour colleges and do the applications, i zoned out. until the end, when they had a question and answer session with current students. that stuff actually interests me.

OH! and my hair is showing up now! in the sun it's REALLY red. i think it got lighter. so i'm excited about that. :D i also had a major 'squee' attack last night, thinking about landscapes starting. it's gonna be so sweet.

i think tonight i *might* go to pirates with tsa and some people, but i'm waiting to be called back about that. tomorrow i basically get to spend all afternoon on the phone with dan, which makes me an incredibly happy person.

xoxo

do you feel like a man when you push her around?

yes, i'm updating again today. screw you. i feel like blogging constantly lately. hahaha. i vow to do it absolutely every day during landscapes, because i'm going to want it later. i look back on previous years and curse myself for not updating every day so i could relive memories.

my hair barely shows up. it's copper-y in the highlights, but that's about it. i think my mom *might* let me actually dye it permanently. i would be very excited.

the landscapes meeting went well... i sat next to dan, which was a big mistake, because you know how you can just feel someone's presence, and their eyes on you? i zoned out the entire time, and i was also incredibly tired. so that didn't help. we had to go around the circle and tell about ourselves, and of course he went right before me, and i nearly forgot what i was going to say because of the way he looked at me and smiled when it was my turn. stupid, stupid boy. we also whispered during pretty much the entire second half of the meeting. hahaha. but anyway, i'm working with the red group, like i already knew, and sarah's and my job is to (wo)man the morning drop-off station on sunday and for the rest of the week. it'll be cool.

i stayed and talked to people for awhile afterwords... we're hitting up pirates of the caribbean saturday night. why am i not excited? i manage to un-excite myself about everything, because i worry too much. i get a sick feeling when i think about it and i don't know why. i'm sure it will be amazing. stupid annie. anyway, yeah, that and going to jack's mannequin on tuesday is officially official. i'm very happy about that, for sure. no hesitation.

ps. i smell like him.

i am going to be SEVERELY angry with myself if i don't update every day starting next week, unless i have a damn good excuse like not being home. okay?

xoxo

nothing can be good on its own
♪: jimmy eat world - believe in what you want

heh... okay... so much for the adam layout, because my afi obsession has severely intensified in the past few days, if that was possible. they've been absolutely all i've listened to... except now i'm taking a tbs/jew break. so anyway, the coding on this layout was actually quite difficult, because of the table. and i got rid of the side table because... it was hard to fit in. i'll probably put it back someday. but right now, the important links are at the bottom. mmkay?

anyway, the fourth of july was alright. we went out to visit my new baby cousin. she. is. so. cute. she's the tiniest baby i've ever seen and all she does is sleep. she's also freaking adorable, especially considering that she's a newborn. i got to hold her for a bit and i've fallen in love. haha. denise asked me if i'd like to babysit and i said sure, but warned her i'd never babysat a real baby, and she said "gotta learn sometime!" haha. i'm so excited.

my grandma came over for dinner and i spazzed out because of the soccer game. i really wanted germany to win... but it's okay, cause i don't dislike italy, you know? just... aghhhh, germany. *sigh* then later we went out to find fireworks. we sat on some random road by the country club for like an hour and finally they started. haha. they were pretty nice.

yesterday leah's family came over with their company from israel to watch the other soccer game. FRANCE WON!!! :D :D :D i was sososo happy. and still am. haha. then we made/had a huge dinner, then we kids played cards, and then we went out to hank's. fun night.

yesterday i decided i wanted to dye my hair with henna today. so i did. i did it all by myself and i didn't even make a mess. at all. :] right now it's setting in and i'm going to leave it until about 3 to make sure it's really in there. haha. i have reddish-brown dye, cause they said not to use the full red on dark hair (it wouldn't show up), so i didn't. BUT when i opened this package it said that you could use red on darker hair. *sigh* so i'm gonna be ticked if this doesn't come out just a little red.

at four i have a meeting for landscapes. and i finally get to see dan and talk to him about the six thousand things i have to talk to him about. he said he would be there, but that was before the meeting time was two hours earlier. so... i'm hoping he'll still be there. or i'll basically flip. hahaha.

♪: AFI - the missing frame

before i start... i set up my last.fm and it's just about the coolest thing ever. it makes no sense right now because it's only what i've listened to TODAY, so... yeah, i'll link to it later on the sidebar. haha. i also found an adorable picture of adlaz that i'm obviously making an adorable (and more summery) layout out of. it's gonna be sweet.

so. it turns out saturday both jill and my cousin's wife, denise, had their babies! both girls. jill's apparently has dark curly hair and is called elizabeth cathlene (ella for short?). denise was deciding between hannah or rachel, and my mom told me, and i said "i bet you it will be hannah marie." and guess what... it's hannah marie. NO LIE. i didn't even know they were considering marie for a middle name. IT WAS SO FREAKING COOL THAT I GUESSED. :D so i can't wait to see both babies. :]

anyway, sunday leah and i ended up going to see superman. i looooved it so much. kate bosworth was really great. i think brandon routh is gay. hahaha. i don't know why i think that. but yeah, lots of action and we were in the big theater and stuff and it was just really exciting. i forgot to mention that i saw jon saturday night. he said nine people showed up for his graduation party. i felt so bad. :[

today emily called me to go swimming. so i went over there and we walked to the college, but the pool was closed. college holiday. so instead we went to julia's and swam there. hehe. rachel and amanda d (who i'd never officially met before but sort of knew through other people) were there working on cast gifts for tom sawyer. anyway, i talked to them all about landscapes and stuff and even rachel the pessimist said it was going to be amazing. so i'm not worried anymore. did you even know i was?

later i went up to the lake with my mom to visit her friend carol. they were best friends in high school and they still visit sometimes. anyway, we were supposedly just meeting the baby but turns out it was an all-out family reunion. i met soooo many uncles and cousins and sons and everything and it was nuts. there was a really cute & nice boy (went to a school around here, too) and then i found out he was a twin. i was scared, but then his twin was even cuter. and i never saw them at the same time, so... hehe. they're kind of jockish but seriously soooooo hottttt. *drool* carol said we can come up and visit any time and i had SO much fun, and i got along with everyone great, so i think we're going to and i'm excited. :D

we didn't get back till late... i was maybe going to go over to julia's but we stopped and talked to her dad after dropping my grandma off and it didn't look like anything was going on over there. but i didn't call, and i feel bad. :[ oh well, too late now, i think?

tomorrow is independence day, my favorite holiday for some reason...? we're having leah's family and their friends over to watch the soccer game and then my grandma's coming for dinner. should be fun.

xoxo
