Finally an update...

Hello everyone. I would just like to say that I know I've been absent from this site for awhile (something that cannot be helped...) and I know that I will for a short time in the future. Fair, once again, is going to take over my life. Once that's over....then I'll be back. Until then....

An Assortment of Annoucements and Anecdotes

Last night I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Definitely one of the best times I've had at a movie theatre, just because of the fact that the movie was so good!! Johnny Depp was so amazing, and little Freddie Highmore is just making a better and better name for himself. Between the odd giggles of Willy Wonka, to the occasional Oompa Loompa song, I could not suppress my laughter. And for all those who don't already know--I HEART JOHNNY!!!!

I received my Harry Potter book on Saturday, and managed to read it in about 14 hours. I have not yet decided on how I feel about it....when I do, I'll be sure to write it.

Our first full band practice was today, and that in itself presented many opportunities for chuckles and smiles. I managed to (in a matter of 2 hours) embarrass myself as much as humanly possible in front of all the freshmen, re-memorize about 8 songs, teach someone how to properly execute the horn swagger, AND...no, that's about it. But it was still pretty fun...I got to see everyone, which was great, and the whole experience made my day.

I also thought I'd write about Peter...I've had to wait this long to write it just because I couldn't bear to until now...now that he's back, I'm gonna have to face it all.

See, about 4 weeks ago he told me that when he said "I need to step back and think about things" he meant he was gonna see other people....people like his ex-girlfriend. He wanted me to be a best friend, rather than a girlfriend, and that was that....obviously, I haven't been able to handle that too well--I couldn't admit to it til now. But today I got an email...he's back from his vacation. And whether I want to or not, I'm gonna see him at band tomorrow..and I'm gonna have to treat him like anyone else.

Believe me when I say that I loved him.....possibly in more ways than John, and it's been so hard. Every night before I fall asleep, my thoughts dwell on him, and every morning, no matter how pathetic I know myself to be, I can't help but think of him. He haunts every move I make, every word I say, and despite my attempts of removing him from my head, he stays. I loved him, and prolly will for a while....it'll take time I know, but I've waited.....I just thought I should write it down....

Quite a busy time.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!! Here's the rundown...=>

Friday: go to the movies with Steph to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...DROOL!!

Saturday: attain Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince-read of course
this is the day I get my dog (unless my parents decide to change their minds
again)

Sunday: I get my dress (Yes, my Homecoming dress...I know it's only July, but this time
last year I had my dress, so actually I'm a little behind..and it's really pretty.)
and if I don't stay up all night reading, I'll finish Harry Potter today

Doesn't that sound exciting!? I am definitely on cloud nine right now, so if you see me this weekend, don't worry. I'm not doing drugs...I'm just high on the weekend!!!!!

(big smiles, deep breathing..)

Ahh.....hehe....I just saw Johnny Depp on the today show this morning...he's so beautiful...=D.

While we were in Missouri this past week, I had a Johnny Depp Marathon, watching Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, and Finding Neverland. (I was going to watch Benny and Joon, but I didn't get around to it.) And how excited am I about his new movie!!!!!! I definitely have to see it..Depp&Burton together again!!!

**by the way, we got back last night....lol

Swift departure..

Ahh...just got home from the extended grandparent visit, and now I'm leaving tomorrow. Not that I'm upset, I love going to Missouri to see the family and all..I just like being at home too. sleeping in my own bed....=D....it's something I always miss. So, now that I'm finally home where I belong, I'm swiftly departing.....just thought I'd let ya'll know that....don't miss me too much.

Kisses.
