i think im happy
no wait... i know im happy.

i seem to have found that lovely and perfect boy that i accedently missed while i was dating someone else.

Winter dance week was good, but i hardly had time to breath and be alone... which i kind of wanted.
we are very much considering starting an asheville rapper sword time, we just need one more person, and fiddle player and swords.

two of the most beautiful moments of my life happend over the week, they are as fallows:
1. We played The Game, and then got out the ping-pong table for a game of round robin ping-pong, which is pretty cool as is. however, we had more people than paddles, so one person used a mushroom, and one used a book. we gave up on trying to keep the ball on the table. Chris got out his fiddle, and played us a pretty little tune. Chloe requested a jig, and everyone started in on our rapper swoard step, and contiuned to play ping-pong. so we had a round robin game of ping pong, played with a mushroom and a book, in a beautiful jig step. it was lovely.
2. At the end of the dance on newyears, everyone still out that late stood in a circle and held hands for the goodnight song, which bob led, but only sang the normal "good night to you all, etc." Chloe Able Taija and I had been excited about getting to sing Ring It In. so once everyone started dirfting away, I said that we should sing it anyway. So the four of us started singing as loudly as we could. The people standing neer is starting singing with us, more and more people in the room joined in, until eventually we were back to everyone holding hands in a ciricle all the way around the room singing. Bob just smiled at us and shook his head.
After that event, i was standing with Annie Fain, and Emily Willy, and talking about how amazing and beautiful what had just happend was. Annie Fain said "Well, the moral of the story is that if you do anything loud enough and confidently enough, everyone will join in"
Emily said "Yep. I bet if you started dancing around the room like a chicken, and you did it confidently enough, everyone would join in"
so-- i started marching around the room flapping my wings... sure enough... i eventually got about twenty five people to prance around and flap their wings in a ring around the dance floor. people i dont even know. It was amazing. No one even wanted to know why they were doing it.


life is good.

Hazel got married, and Chase got engaged,and Sarah Webb is now engaged. We're getting old
oh, and there is a new boy. We'll see how that goes when he gets back from being across the world.

In honer of the christmas spirt, my mother took down the curtian in the downstairs bathroom, to use to rod to hang up orniments in the kitchen windown. we have new neighbors on that side of the house.

There is sand in my bed. God knows how it got there.

Isaac is home. We are recording Ol' Cook Pot, Bye Bye Baby, and the gothic cowboys orginal "I'd Love to Love You" on monday. I'm excited. i also stole lots of music from his computer...
What a beautiful face i have found in this place.

We won again.
this year the shows were better than last year at state.
NCTC is the best part of the school year i think.

we got,
Production Disigin
Todd got Best director
honerable mention Ensamble acting
Honerable mention for feamale actors
Lauren Lampley
Amber McCleary
And best actor went to little Tucker Shelton.
we were rated as "superior"
and we are going to state!

The most amazing part is that on tursday night, Lauren Williams was dancing for some community band concert, she did a high leap off the stage and broke both of her feet. She couldnt get out of the hospitle in time, so Maren had to fill in for her... She learned all of her lines on the way up, and we organized all sorts of diffrent people for out set trasition. She pulled it off beautifully.

im really excited we get to go to state again... I'm really attached to this years class, i think it's because of the amout of time i spent with them out of class this year, writting the play... good bonding time.

There are lipstick marks on the spout of the water cooler
we must've run out of cups

i am, working again.
doing nearly the exact same job as before
im the youngest, again
but this time, not by a couple years, but by at least 40
today im working with a lady who looks like she has stuck
a little butter knife
into an eletical soket
for the past 50 years of her life.

We went to molly's house after work
it was snuggly
and cold, but only halves at a time,
because there was a fire
(and also a caravan of red necks)

thrusday: im a bad person. again. this seems strangly framlier... hum.
Friday: our first dance class! it was wonderful, the teacher is all kinds of cute and happy and not a crazy dance lady (why taking dance at the flat rock playhouse and not from one of the dance studios is better). We did the 1920s, and learned exciting things. after the class we went to the house of reed (it's reed's house only when chloe's at school) and watched garden state. it make's me all happy and want to be in love again. tucker told me he wishes he was in love with me. hehe
Saturday: went to the folkart center to see forrest's clogging team dance. they were pretty amazing, i've never actully enjoyed watching clogging before. i cant click my heals. Then to asheville, where tucker and i had lunch at rosetta's and picked up chloe and came back here for a little photo shoot.
After pictures, we headed to the dance, which was tons-o-fun, but im still a bad person
Sunday: one year! it's amazing. i wanted to buy cherries for our senior picnic, and run around explaning to everyone why i did so. the picnic was alright i guess, i'm a tad sunburned me thinks. we played with egg for the first time in a long time, so that's good.
goodbye

last night i went to pick up fritz's MOM from the air port
bow chica bow wow.


luke was on the same flight, that was excting.
i made peach jam
my skrt still isnt done
i got two nancey drew books, and a hardy boy's book from the library. i am so excited about our play.
today i hiked with tucker, al and our dogs.

i wish it was fall

please excuse my typical "i'm a teenager and things suck" livejournal entry
but it's true, i am a teenager, and things do suck.

i think i want to learn how to dance.
today we are going to see the new dancey-folk movie, which is kind of a macacistic act on my part. They always make me so sad... and i spend the rest of the day, bouncing around, and relizing that that is not dancing.

I really wish i had gotten my shit together and done something this summer, i havnt even made a book, or started the quilt i was planning on. Lack of money causes all sorts of problems.
I dont think i've ever said this in my life, but i may be ready for school to start back. Things are just boring. I'll be sad when everyone leaves again, but that hasnt sunk in yet.
i have been close to crying everytime i realize, that in a short year, Al and i will be parting our ways. That is soon. That is sad.

Umm. Drum circles, and dancing...
oh! fire spinning! im going to learn how to spin fire, so that i can pretend to be cool...

i must say, this has been the worst summer yet.
feel no need to read, 'cause
( and i have lots to talk about )
