slimy, yet satisfying.

first weather related early dismissal today. excellent start to my thanksgiving weekend.
however, i forgot how much i dislike ice. i spent 15 minutes scrapping that ish off my windshield after school today. it's a good thing i live 73 seconds from the school now.... haha, actually it's not that big of deal because i drive a tank of a vehicle (jeep.) that can handle whatever weather is thrown into it's windshield.

on another note, i have a point to blogging this time...
how the lion king influenced/relates to my life.
i had the extreme priviledge of watching it last weekend after watching the most horrendous film ever screened (splice. this is a fair warning. DO NOT WATCH. your eyes will bleed and your mind will forever be seared with horrible images)

also, before i get started, i ask you not to judge..... seriously.
1. simba, to me, was very attractive. (no, i do not have a fetish for animals...) i basically had a mini crush on him and wanted to be his best friend. or boyfriend. haha. i was extremely jealous of nala... for obvious reasons. except when i was little, i only thought simba was cute when he was a little lion, and not a big lion. however, after watching it last weekend, i find big simba just as attractive now. again, no judging.
so basically. i wanted simba to be my first boyfriend. sadly, this did not happen.

2. as much as i hated the hyenas (cuz they help with scar, therefore automatically making them evil.), i couldn't help but want to be their friends. let's face it. they have funny jokes, and laugh a whole lot more than necessary.... story of my life.

3. hakuna matata! first off, second favorite scene in the movie. (first being can't wait to be king. duh.) second off.... you know how pumba and timon eat bugs? ok, obviously haha. well. those bugs looked and still look HIGHLY appetizing. so. around the age of 4, as i watching this movie i came to the conclusion of wow. bugs look tasty, "slimy, yet satisfying!" so what happens the next day while playing with chalk on my driveway the next day? i see a centipede. "slimy, yet satisfying!" runs though my head. i pick it up. i place it in my mouth. i chew it. it did not taste like chicken, and it was not "slimy, yet satisfying." oh and no worries. it was dead. probably fried up by the sun.
so, if i hadn't ever watched the lion king, i probably never would have eaten that bug and wouldn't be in this place today if it weren't for that bug.
ha jk lolz.

those are the top 3 ways the lion king has influenced my life. i hope you were highly entertained by me spilling my inner childhood secrets to you.
love, timba.
(if you didn't catch that, it's simba and tressa put together.... ;) )

summarizing.

so i happened to restumble onto my blog again.

so many things have happened i don't even know where to start....

i think i last left off at... oh yeah. night before the first last day of school.

right now, senior year has been awesome. and stressful at the same time.

i think i'll just sum up each month...

august:

i got hired at juice stop, my dream job. only problem, i worked every minute i wasn't either a.) dancing b.) schooling c.) fall show practicing d.) sleeping/eating/breathing. it was horribly stressful.

marching band was rocking and rolling, and we started learning pieces for our show (january 15, 2pm and 7pm at the orpheum: the princess, the sheik and the swordsman/chicago blues and red dancing shoes) i got the lead in chicago blues and red dancing shoes :) :) :) guess what my characters name is? sassy. awesome, i know.

september:

extremely nice weather.

extremely busy.

lots of mband competitions.

made homecoming court! couldn't believe it. homecoming week was definitely a blast. we got a hummer limo for after coronation. 4 15" subs in the back. enough said. here's a pic of court, and i got the priviledge to be escorted in by my bestie josh. :)

october:

lost our homecoming football game to roosevelt :/

marched the best marching band show ever at FOB finals, but placed 8th. couldn't believe it. it was always colder than hades heart that night.

got let go at juice stop, because i couldn't work the required 15-25 hours. to be honest, it was a huuuuuge relief.

fall show.... came together at the very last minute, like usual. lots of fun.

and then! all state choir in aberdeen :)

t'was a blast, however, we didn't get to leave a day early due to a snow storm, like last year. my quartet was awesome, yet again. (josh, elliYOT, and haley. wooooot.)

creepy, yet funny story. the tenor that sat in front of our quartet, who i swear, was 6 years old, was a creep. he constantly turned around, so the afternoon rehearsal of the first day, josh and i decided to make a tally of how many times he could turn around in a 4 hour period. we guessed around 100 times. wrong. after hour 2, he had turned around 122 times. thats sick. he would turn around while singing, whenever i said a comment to josh, whenever i sneezed, whenever josh hiccuped... the epitome of a creep. by supper time, the tally finished out at 187. grossed out? you should be. he figured out halfway through we were keeping a tally of something... but josh told him it was a hiccup count. big lol.

and now, november.

nominated for the mock presidential election by my class, and had some epic commercials. you should check them out here http://tg018.k12.sd.us/ just scroll down til you find my name :)

but... apparently kyle had better commercials, cuz he ended up winning it. he put wayyyy more time and effort into it than my class did, so i wasn't too let down.

it was 70 degrees last weekend! ridiculous!! i love it though, i'm definitely not complaining.

i officially bought my formal dress today :) i'm very happy with the purchase, and can not wait to wear it. i, however, need to aquire a date asap. i'm not too worried, though.... haha.

and in the very near future.

as in, next week. i'm going to the harry potter premiere! woo woo woo wooooo! i'm so pumped.

there. all caught up now?

excellent.

i'm sure i'll be back to fill you in on more detes in a month or two. or three.

i am a s. i am a s-e. i am a s-e-n-i-o-r.

hey guess what?
tomorrow's the first day of school.

guess what else?
i have 15 quotes left to reflect on.

what's that?
yes, i am procrastinating like a mo'fo.

....you get my drift.

i finished lord of the freakin' flies last night around 1230.
i have yet to even start decorating my notebooks, let alone finish unpacking.
my senior year is going to start off on a fantastic note.

ps. you're looking at the latest juice stop junkie employee :)

so i guess i wasn't being entirely sarcastic about the fantastic note thing...

happenings.

obviously i'm having a very busy summer, doing everything from sleeping to rollercoasters at valleyfair to working to not doing summer reading. hahaha.

basically. a catcher in the rye was the very first book i checked out at the library this summer, and will probably be the last one to be turned in.

i leave for honor choir tomorrow. i will be extremely surprised if it lives up to last year's honor choir. cuz there won't be hilary and jenny, red jello, or the bench. :(
and a couple other things, but that's rather unnecessary. haha.

and next week after i come home, i'll have to pack up my entire room and say goodbye to the house i've lived in for 12 freakin' years. it's gonna be a rather difficult thing to do i think.

other than that. i have no excited news whatsoever. ta ta.

just call me the phone breaker.

no really. i've been to verizon at least 3 times in the past month.
first, my voyager screen cracked. just from being in my bag.
then it started to open weird, and then the sound completely went out.

awesome.

so i completely downgraded to the phone i used my 8th grade year.
but it started opening weird too! and then it completely basically broke in two.
and then the screen went black.

so i found an old enV. it works perfectly fine, but when someone calls me i can only talk to them with my phone on speaker phone. eh whatevs.

and my dance concert went excellent. i'm glad i had 2 lovely friends come watch me. wink. :)

anyways, i'm off to work. bye.

summer is my drug.

summer brings out the best of me.
my productiveness level goes up soooo much. i wish i was as dedicated to homework and studying as i am to being productive around the house.

basically, i've done everything from scrubbing floors, to shopping, to downgrading to my phone of 4 years ago, to laying out... you know, summer stuff.

so, i'm off to do more... summer stuff.
haha.

oh, i'm gonna be in another car commercial tomorrow! yippee. my line is "wetzel's the place to go in richmond, indiannaohio." so simple.

EXCITEMENT.

DONEZO.
I DID IT.
I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE SEMESTER TESTS.
I'M BASICALLY A SENIOR.

i just had to blog my excitement real quick. the end.
