Good friends make me smile...

People who have made me smile this evening...

Thank you for the interesting theatrical and non-theatrical aspects of that conversation, Chris... I have missed talking to you too!

Chris: but i'm glad we had this talk...i miss talking to you
Amanda: ditto :-)
Chris: someone who matches me in my vigor and zest for all things theatrical!

Hehe... that's quite a compliment in my opinion :) 
------
Also, thank you Nichole for the insightful Barbie discussion...

Nichole: That's not a Ken doll... that's a Jude Deveraux doll...
Amanda: That's a trashy romance doll, is what it is!
------
And thank you to Andy for the conversation we had because it was very helpful to me and I have missed our talks also.

Andy: Sometimes just smacking people would be fun.

How true is that?!  :)

Thanks guys, I really needed you all today.

Love you all sooooo much!

Why?

Will someone explain to me why it is that the mother of every boyfriend I've ever had has tried as hard as possible to make it impossible for me to see him? 

I don't get it! 

Do I dress too sluttily? 

Do I have bad manners? 

Am I a bad influence? 

Do I do drugs? 

Do I go out and get drunk every weekend? 

Do I lead them down the road to sin and away from the path of righteousness? 

Maybe I have some flaws that I can't see.  

If anyone else can, please tell me about them so I can fix it!








I quit.

Drama, drama, drama!

I had thought myself a sensible, non-emotion-driven person... last night proved me wrong.

If the person to whom the deleted poem was written read it, I apologize.
Even if that person didn't read it, I still apologize.  Some things should not be aired publicly like that.

Anyways, today was largely uneventful.  I woke up again being unable to speak.  I went to school and walked in with Laura & Monica.  Laura did my hair after I gave Jordahl his book back.  (Yay Magical Laura!)  Then Adrienne and I talked about the possible test questions for Great Books to Great Music and then went and took that test with Nichole (and the rest of the class, obviously) and then listened to Dr. Allen talk about how Tolstoy thought sex was evil and, if only humankind could be like eunuchs, then we would reach our full potential and it wouldn't matter that we didn't procreate because our point would have been accomplished.  By the end of class, I could talk normally-ish!  Yay!  Then I went to Jazz History, where we watched a movie about Charlie "Bird" Parker.  After JH, I wandered down to where Nichole, Dan, Monica, Laura, Melissa and Pound were sitting and we chatted for awhile before going to choir, where we sang and sang and I had a girls sectional and we sang and then we listened to the boys sing pretty and then I left.  I stopped at MHS and left a note in Cameron's truck and then I went home cuz Adrienne and I were going to go shopping but she called me and left a message saying she didn't feel well so we'd go some other time.

So now I am talking to Andy, and blogging, and don't really have anything to do until Theatrix tonight.

Rah.

Well, I'm off.  More later!

To discover the meaning of the Spatula Dance...

Go here and read the entry called "Ode To The Spatula Dance"

Interesting...

[Literary-minded] men choose Hamlet because every man sees himself as a disinherited monarch. Women choose Alice [in Wonderland] because every woman sees herself as the only reasonable creature among crazy people who think they are disinherited monarchs.

Bleah...

Nothing to write about...

I'm a slacker... but I'm sick!

Yesterday was uneventful... slept til what I thought was noon, realized it was only 11 (yeah Daylight Savings) so got up and helped clean... wasted time til Cameron came over... wasted time til we had to go to work... went to work at 5:30 thinking we opened at 6 - we didn't open til 7:30... worked... came back home... Cameron & I ate... ended up driving him home cuz he was half asleep, so his truck spent the night at my house... causing my dad to be like, "Um..?" in the morning...

I can't breathe... and I can't talk... and I feel like crap... make it stop!

It's Saturday Night!

And I am home...

Anyways, so yesterday I went to school at 9:30 a.m.... which was, largely, pointless since I didn't actually have class til 11 (which Monica & I skipped) and so I sat around until my 1 p.m. class which was also rather pointless since it was all review.

Then I went home... where I think I did a lot of nothing (including a nap) until Cameron picked me up for work... OH!  I remember - I was mad at Cameron because he didn't come with us on Thursday, but I got over it.

So we went to work and I scared people, and got squashed onto the sofa a couple times, and scared by the guy wearing the Michael Meyers mask, whom some kid said, "Hey, you're the guy from Psycho!" to... special people.  Got home around 12:30, was up til about 1:30, cuz I'm dumb.

Got up this morning at about 8:15... 8:30... (yay snooze button).  Took the fastest shower EVER and made it to Theatrix by 9:01.  There I was entertained by the energetic children... went to a board meeting... and then drove Brooke over to SMC to open it up for Grease rehearsal.  Then I went home.

After awhile I went to Perkins with Nichole, Cathy, Adrienne & Dan and Cameron eventually joined us.  Once we finished chatting and eating and playing cards, I took Nichole & Cathy home and Cameron came over for a bit.  It was nice to just be able to hang out and watch movies for once... But he had to leave for work around 5:30 so then I got ready to go to Wisconsin Singers.

I met Tommy, Nichole & Cathy at KHS around 6:30 and we got our tickets and sat around and waited til the show started.  We suffered thru KHS' show choir and then watched WI Singers (yay cute boys with amazing voices!  and yay Holly for being the blackest white girl I know!  "Shhh... Holly's singing!").  Then I came home where I amused Lara's friends by dancing to Chicago and then Lara and I chatted about Burial Chamber (where she and her friends went tonight) and now we're having a sleepover! 

So... I'm going to go sleep now!  Gnyte!
