So...tired...can't...function...

I hate mondays. Hate them...loathe them...abhor them...pick one...but know that I have a severe dislike for the day Monday. Why may you ask? Because on a monday I have to get up to economics and finish with epistles. On a monday I have to call serniors, who really don't want to talk to me and who get annoyed by the fact that I just called them three weeks ago to ask them the same questions I asked this week. "How is your senior year going? Are you coming to Senior Days? DId your parents or anyone in your family go to FC? Have yougone to any FC camps? Are you considering coming to FC? Have you received the calender we sent in the mail? Well if you look on the first page of it there is an application and if you fill it out and send it in before Oct. 30 we'll waive the $25 application fee. Okay well keep having fun and have a good evening!" I make myself sick with my super sweetness. I almost gag everytime i get off the phone...but oh well...it's better than somethings. why else do I hate mondays? Because from the time I get up in the morning to curfew I have a grand total of 3 hours in which I don't have something scheduled. In this time I'm supposed to eat, do homework, and be social...yeah can't all be done. So what suffers? The homework which isn't good cause I'm paying a heck of a lot to get this homework. But i have to eat and by default i'm social. Blah...need...sleep. Can anyone tell it's midterm week????

    it's kind of reassuring knowing that at least the people who used to call my house felt as akward as i did.

It's been awhile

Okay yes it has been, but at least it hasn't been a month this time. Things are going great at FC still. Midnight madness was awesome and can I just say that Omega showed just how cool we still were with our original glow in the dark show. It was pretty awesome and we got a lot of compliments.
The one act festival has begun rehearsing. The shows are as follows: The philidelphia, words, words, words, sure thing, richard III, Sorry wrong number, and I'm herbert. if I have time I might memorize a monologue by christopher durang called "mrs. sorken" to open the shows with. Right now we're only doing one show on Oct. 24 at 7 in McCarty hopefully. But we might end up doing it again cause everyone will want to see it i'm sure.
Well, I'm really busy and don't really have time to be writing, but I like to procrastinate so...hope everyone is safe and well. Love you all!

    Mmmm... procrastination... I love seafood.

Ta-da!

Did my amazing disappearing trick work? Pretty impressive i know...actually not writing in my blog for a month... well it's lame. hahaha. Lots has been happening since i last wrote. I made it down to Florida and am so glad to be back. Life is great. I've been so busy this past week trying to get all the arrangements made for the One Act festival that I've barely had time for anything else. Friday I went and saw cold creek manor...good, but dissappointing. I was only scared for about five minutes of the movie. Right now i am at Constance's house hanging with her and monica. We just watched Barbershop which is much better movie than the previously mentioned. We had a lot of fun earlier playing with Microsoft Paint and editing pictures. I had no idea how much fun that could be. Maybe i'll post one later. Well...seeing as how i have church tomorrow and that i got up at 6:30 to go to coastal cleanup i think i'll cut it short and go to bed. But if you were wondering...I'm alive and well.
  • schweetheart411

I'm leaving tomorrow! I'm leaving tomorrow!

Well, incase you missed it, I'm leaving for school tomorrow and I can't wait! It will be sad at church tonight though cause it will be the last time i see my best friends amanda and aubrey. Aubs came over last night and we dyed eachother's hair. Fun times. I showed her the film festival movies. She didn't understand Don's (did anyone?) but loved colin's. Too bad I don't have a copy of I Can Sing to show her...does anyone know where i can get one? Can i still get one? Well...my room is pretty empty and my car is going to be PACKED and I have to make my 12 cd's to have on the trip. It's going to be great. I'll have 960 mins of music for a 720 min trip, so if we don't take too many stops then i won't have to listen to the same song twice! Was that dorky to anyone else? ha. Alright can't wait to see you guys! Peace out!
  • divineharmony

    I'm taking down a mix you made and gave to Kyle, who then gave it to me and Nicole to burn, who then gave a copy to my sister. So now 4 other people have your lovely mix to listen to on their way down to FL while thinking about how much they love you? Is your whole family driving down?

La cucharacha...

so last night I watched fear factor and they did one of the scariest, most gross ones i have seen. And what made it even better was that it was a celebrity episode. Now laying in a bin that's divided into three sections: your head, your torso and your legs, is in no way scary. Laying in a bin with your legs covered in nightcrawlers...is gross, but not scary. Laying in a bin with worms on your legs and madagascar hissing cockroaches around your head is not only REALLY REALLY SICK but freaky beyond all reason. Laying in a bin with worms on your legs, cockroaches crawling across your face, and snakes sliding all over your torso while you sort through and find the white ones to put in a bin...that's insane. I was only watching and was getting chills ughghghghgh. It's just wrong really. However...it was really fun to watch all the celebs freak out. Especially David Bowie, who was acting all macho, squeal when the roach tried to crawl in his nose. hahaha. Just as a poll...who of you would go on fear factor? Ya think you'd win? Have you ever had your own fear factor?

    I linked the website where you can check out more pics and read about some of the other Fear Factor Stunts

    I'd go on fear factor, I'd lose, no, never had my own fear factor. So, give me my shirt!
    by tat2883 at 08/12/03 3:14PM
  • hamm0ndeggs
    i think i would do it. i would try to win. i wouldn't really care if i got bitten by stuff, because 1)it's a lot of money, right? and 2) they're not gonna let anyone get hurt, because the hospital bills would probably end up being more than the prize. not to mention it'd kind of be a boon on the show.

    here, here, brodieman610. the money would be worth it all.

  • TheMrsCrabtree
    actually...it is very possible that you could get severly injured on the show and you sign a waiver in case that happens. They take all the safety precautions they can, but part of the stunts is that you could get hurt. For example: check out the allstar challenge on the site.

    it's so gross yet you put a picture of it on your blog? ;)

    i'd do anything-- well, just ABOUT anything to pay off my student loans like, NOW.
    by hamm0ndeggs at 08/12/03 9:32PM
  • elgriff
    I would so go on fear factor..i would win as long as i didnt have to eat that nasty junk, i can take heights and the moving fast stuff..but NOT the eating part

  • lindsey
    Lauren, I watched an episode like that... celebs for charity? Yeah, well the girl couldn't make it with the roaches, so in order for her to go on, she had to swallow a worm and the host of the show had to eat a roach. I lost it when he opened his mouth and showed the chewed up roach. Esp. since I'm roach-o-phobic.
