YAY Ok so the bad news.. MY GUITAR FREAKEN BROKE IN HALF!!! MY BABY!!!! MY CHILD!!!! DEAR GOD!!!! I was so pissed and I was balling. I still cant really believe it broke. Good thing though...my dad said he might be able to get me a new one. PHEW. lol it sucked. but yeah. thats all the exciting news i have. ttul pals and friends. xoxoxoxoxoxo feel my pain

Hello friendlies!
I am way happy because I have 7 songs recorded now! woo hoo! Now i just have to edit them...eeek.lol I had two shows yesterday and they were way fun! I played piano at a nursing home and sang, it was for class, and then there was a concert i was in where i played piano and sang with this drummer who is freakin amazing! We hit all of our transitions and it was flippin awesome! Lots of people liked it so I was happy. Mommy didnt show up though. too busy with her boyfriend. oh well. shes making up for it by taking me to lunch today. yay! no stinking dorm food!! lol I am totally stoked because my grades were so good this quarter! I got 3 A's and 2 Bs! Good God thats good for me sadly! its way cool. Since i did so well im getting payed for my grades. lol. which is nice because i am broke. I get 20 bux for each a and 10 for each b. woo hoo. well i g2g ttul my buddies!! xoxoxoxoxoxo

I made a kick ass song up today on piano and i have no idea where it came from. It made me happy.

Ive felt pretty shitty all day. Im running this show and its taking a lot out of me. Ive been getting outrageously frustrated at my own stupidity. Plus theres this girl who is a total bitch to me and i didnt even do a thing to her, if anything im nice to her, but she still keeps giving me bullshit. I gotta tell ya she sure is in for it if she doesnt stop because im pretty damn close to just bitching her out and beating the shit outta her. oh well. That was my vent of the day. Otherwise I guess things are ok. Im running for student government so thats exciting. Wish my show luck and a blessing from God. Luv ya'll toodles! xoxoxoxoxo

hey everyone its been a while. I miss everyone a ton. I have new friends but its not really the same. Im getting kinda sick of being single. Its just really bugging me. Most of the other girls in the dorm have bfs that they talk to every night, and it kinda makes me lonely. I wish i had someone to call everyday, to cuddle, hold, yeah you get the deal. oh well. so whats new with everyone? ive still been writing tons of stuff. blah. im in such a crappy ensemble! god theres this one girl who absolutely drives me nuts cuz shes SO full of crap its just ridiculous! Shes so full of her self cuz shes been in a couple talent shows. gee wiz. shes one of those kelly clarkson wannabe girls who was the popular bitch at her old school who everyone though was funny because of her antics, and said she had a good voice. ive heard her sing, and not to sound like an asshole, but i have no idea how she got into this school. eeeeek!Whatever. School is way fricken easy! I have art of speaking 1st, then precalc, then i have block 3 off, (an hour and a half) then theres lunch(a half hour or so) HUGE BREAK yippee. Then after lunch i have my ensemble, then my voice tecniques class, then music theory/ear training, then finally choir. its pretty cool. dorm life isnt bad either. itll take getting used to, but its decent. I miss everyone so much everyday. I miss ashley and meg sitting around me in math, chris sitting next to me in english tuning out the teacher with his mp3 player, mr russel, lunch with everyone. lunch at this school is boring.

Im way excited about one thing though! When i found out about how big of a disaster Katrina was, i immediatly was trying to figure out ways i could help. I sent all of my clothes from my closet and bought a buncha kids stuff- diapers, crayons, all that kinda stuff and i shipped it to tennessee to a church with a bunch of the people at it, but that just didnt seem like id done enough. So, i thought of the idea of putting together a bunch of the talent at my school for a benefit show to get a good amount of money to donate. Well i asked my instructor about it Monday and he said he would look into it, and today he gave me the ok. im sooo excited to put it all together- im TOTALLY in charge of basically everything. It will probably be thursday the 22nd. im going to collaborate performances from musicians, dancers, poets, photographers and anyone who wants to showcase something for the show. IM SO EXCITED to see how it turns out. wish me luck. Well, i g2g. luv yall! xoxoxoxoxo

oh yeah, i got my wisdom teeth out last week and it sucked cuz i got dry sockets and it really hurt!! eeek. Im on a liquid/soft diet and im losing weight from it. lol
