Day Twenty-Eight; More Laze.

Today was still very cold. There was some mild drama, and I ended up having to spend another night at Brandon's because Jill can't take me home until tomorrow. That's okay. I'm not complaining. Baha.

We went to lunch with Caitlin and her boyfriend Toby for Mexican food. It was yummy. We then came home and watched movies. Well. Movie. We watched Angels and Demons. I kinda sorta fell asleep on Brandon in that chair you see above. He kept trying to wake me up. He failed.

After that, we had a lovely steak dinner and watched some of the Grammys. Brandon is asleep since he has school tomorrow. I'm about to go take a shower while Caity does her homework. It's been a nice day. Goodnight.

Day Twenty-Seven; Relieving Cabin Fever.

Okay. Don't shoot me or mail me anything explosive. I know this is a day late, and I'm sorry. Better late than never. Truth be told, yesterday was one of those days that many might call boring. I, however, happened to find a lot of joy in it.

I believe that Brandon, Caitlin, and I were experiencing a bit of cabin fever. The proof? We got overly excited when Jill suggested we go to the movie store and to Subway. We hurriedly got dressed and drove in the van (after de-icing it) to the local movie rental place. We had to pay off some Buchanan debt to that place since they seem unable to return movies. We rented a bunch of movies.

Then, we went to Subway. I got a chicken teriyaki sub. Yum. We went back to the house, ate, watched movies, and good stuff like that. All-in-all, it was nice to get out, even if just for a few minutes in the freezing cold. It was a good day with the Buchanans. 

Day Twenty-six; Snow/Ice Day.

Mr. Landers is so smart. My school was canceled today! The surprising part? So was Brandon and Caitlin's. I spent a great deal of my day today sitting on that couch above and talking to Caitlin. I allllways enjoy conversations with her.

I can't believe it's only 9:30. Brandon is already asleep, and I keep falling asleep. I think I'm gonna head to bed. Nighty night. Sorry for the short post. 

Day Twenty-five; Unexpected Visit.

There were a few key points of today. I found out which part I'll be in the musical. It's not what I wanted, but it'll be fun all the same. I am very proud of Bryce for getting what he wanted. All-in-all, it'll be a fun musical. 

Mr. Landers told me that he figured he was 80% sure we wouldn't have school tomorrow, so I decided it'd be smart to head to Brandon's tonight, before we got iced in. So here I am, lying next to him while he sleeps. He's most likely still gonna have school tomorrow.

Well. I think I'm going to get up and move so I can go to bed. Hopefully school gets canceled. Bring on the ice for BK. I won't be there either way, though. Haaaa. 

Day Twenty-Four; Auditions and Bed.

I would have loved to put a picture from auditions here today instead, but I couldn't for two reasons. These reasons are as follows:
1) I think Mrs. Pace would have a conniption if I just took my phone out and started taking pictures for no apparent reason in auditions.
2) I was honestly just having too much fun and was far too busy to even try to sneak one.

I hope you all understand, whoever even reads this. I noticed yesterday that I'm getting less comments than before, but I also remembered what I said to begin with: this is a project to do with ME. I am learning about myself and developing as an individual. It's all good.

Auditions went very well. I felt like I did great, and people said I did. What a relief. Now, all I have to do is see which part Mrs. Pace thinks suits me best. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

Besides that, I laid in bed and watched two programs, one that annoyed me much more than the other. The two programs I watched were American Idol and the State of the Union Address. Guess which one annoyed me more? Hint: It doesn't come on every Tuesday and Wednesday on Fox and the main speaker was NOT Ryan Seacrest or Simon Cowell. That's right. Obama really got on my nerves. I am starting to feel like every word he says is a lie; add that on top of the fact that I already don't agree with the way he has been running his administration, and I'm thoroughly annoyed with the man.

The best part of his speech? He said something along the lines of, "We are ending this war and all of our troops are coming home." Alright, he says he plans to have every single troop out of the Middle East by July of 2011. His words, not mine. Jill's deployment orders? From February 21st, 2010 to SEPTEMBER of 2011. Wow, looks like some stories are conflicting here, huh?

Bryce and I had some political conversation after that, as did Brandon and I. The address just really got on my nerves. For the first time in my life, I was on the same page as the conservatives in that room who weren't clapping with every other sentence the man said. Sometimes that's annoying in itself. Half of the damn program is the audience clapping. Let's all just sit down and hear what he has to say. Then again, I wasn't really interested in that. I'm all for a healthier environment, even though I don't believe our climate is in any immediate danger. It's still important to prepare for the future. But honestly? With our economy in the state it's in? How can we be worrying so much about clean energy? Wait until we're back on track. THAT is the smarter thing to do. Meh.

Away from politics, I just had a nice hour-long chat with Cassi, and I also just sent Brandon off to bed. I'm going to check my Facebook and lie down myself. I am exhausted, and I feel horrid. Goodnight everyone.

Day Twenty-Three; Hilarious Lunch, Technical Problems, and Practice, Practice, PRACTICE!

School was pretty uneventful today until lunchtime. It. Was. Hilarious. Everyone was overly-hyper; well, more so than usual. By the end of lunch, Chance was singing "The sun'll come out TOMORROW, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow..." with hand motions and tons of exuberance. Bryce and I were singing Seuss songs. Dakota was motorboating Tyler's arm, and Tyler and Shannon were red in the face from laughing. We also joined in our tradition of singing happy birthday to Kevin on random days. We love Kevin, our deity. HAHA.

Last night, a transformer blew up in town, and our server at work ended up crashing because of it. So I got literally NOTHING done today. I did enjoy many hours of talking with Glenda and a trip to Sonic with the same woman. I really, really like working with her. She's just nice to talk to.

Once I got home, I lounged in bed for a while. I was really wanting a nap, but I didn't take one. I watched American Idol, talked to Brandon, and PRACTICED. My musical tryout is TOMORROW. I have been practicing so much. In fact, it's midnight, and I'm just now getting in the shower.

The picture above? I laid in bed between songs and practicing to watch Teen Mom. The flag you see is from Fan Day back during the spirit competition. I was Brandon Buchanan's biggest fan. The painting? One of my several birthday gifts from my boyfriend. Teen Mom brought tears to my eyes, btw. Call me a softy. I don't care.

Day Twenty-Two; Nathan's Seventh Birthday.

Slow and sluggish; that's how my day started. I didn't want to wake up. I absolutely loathe Mondays. As I was getting ready, however, I spied my little brother, his hair tussled and his eyes nearly closed. I wished him a happy birthday. The little booger is seven now.

School was pretty uneventful. Lunch was great, as always. We are planning a surprise birthday party for Mrs. Pace on Friday in Choir. I'm so excited. Work was busier than usual. I actually had stuff to do for the majority of the time that I was there, and when I didn't, Glenda and I had stuff to talk about. That's always fun.

When I got home, I really wanted a nap, but I was denied that particular privilege. My mom and Jason were preparing dinner for Nathan's birthday and our family that would be over because of the occasion. Steak. Yum. It was delicious, as was the cake. Above, you see Nathan with his new starter guitar and his...yes, phone. I think it's ridiculous, too. But my mom says it will be good for him to be able to keep in touch with his dad in California much easier. I still think it's ridiculous.

Anyway, I have just been talking with my mom and Jason and practicing for the musical since everyone went home. I'm going to go read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire now. I'm really, really tired, but my day will feel empty if I don't read at least a couple of chapters. Plus, it's only 11:10 now. Not too late for some Harry. Baha.
