concert tonite. i'm hella nervous for my solo. but it will be SO MUCH FUN.

see you guys monday.
i have been blogging a lot lately. iono if you can call it blogging with how short the posts are, tho.
it's 7:11. that's my 5th favorite time. heehee. well.. yea. i guess i should go to school. maybe i'll finish later. doubt it tho.
i'm tired. i slept in the car.
i get math. i don't get latin.
i haven't worked on english at all, and i have it tomorrow. or maybe thursday or friday. let's just say i have it tomorrow.
&&
i keep playing night after sidewalk. i broke a string though. damn.
why, yes, they DO mess up friendships.
&&
cedar point was awesome. the lines were crazy. but the lines were.. entertaining..
50th post. that went by.. quick. except it took like 15 years. not sure how that worked out.
let's start yesterday.
birthday party for my cousin. it rocked. we just ran around in the woods. we had a bonfire and played night games, plus glo in the dark football. i was the only one who caught it, but also the only one to get hit in the face.
oh, and their apple tree didn't do so hot this year, so we had all these tiny apples all over the ground and we had an apple fight! it rocked. i carried mine in my shirt though, and now i'm all itchy because there's a lot of mosquitoes there. a LOT. and besides, running around shirtless in the woods anywhere is pretty dumb.
so i got back at like 11, and then read til 2. i'm reading this amazing book, like a hole in the head, about this girl who's.. nvm. it's awesome. it takes place over at least a week and the girl doesn't sleep, she's always drinking and buying coffee and pills and so when you're done you're like "i have such a HEADACHE" because you get really into it because it's very.. actioney. she's a regular person in some crazy situation and she's making stupid choices. i like books like that. the woman didn't write any more books though.
dance tonight. should be awesome. i hope that thing that's going to happen doesn't happen because it would be awkward, not allowed, and just.. unnecessary. first high school dance. i wonder what that's like.
&&
i just finished it. fantastic. it's been too long since i read all day.
this is my new baby. 24 inch screen. except it's not really my baby.
my AUNTIE SARA is moving in. well.. she's already moved in, as of 5 minutes ago. this is her computer too, and my mom's. amelia likes playing with the remote, too. i like playing with the camera and.. taking screenshots.. WE'RE GOING TO WATCH THAT SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS MOVIE. I KEEP MAKING MISTAKES I THINK BECAUSE THIS KEYBOARD IS SO SO SO BREAUTIFUL AND I LOVE IT. see, caps lock. =] what did i tell you!
all right. putting the thing in the SIDE SLOT..
&&
such a cool movie. kind of bad script, but the sets and costumes are all really cool.
&&
orientation was pretty pointless and there was nothing for the parents to do except like... socialize. james doesn't like socializing. neither do i, really, it's kind of fake and forced, but whatever. we got most of my books, too.
&&
i love working at the shop. always good music, cool people, fun.. money.
dinner at grandma's tonight. i made NECTARINE BLUEBERRY [bluebry] CRISP! .. or something like that.
we went to tracy gallup's house today for dinner. lydia aiken's mom, the 2006 senior. they have such an amazing house. really awesome dinner, too. lydia made it and she's vegan so... yeah. and dessert. peaches and blueberries and this really good walnut almond.. thing and TOFUTTI.
and sudoku.
and talking to lydia about greenhills. i like going over there. they have kittens. little gray ones with white boots. they're calm, too. i want at least one kitten so bad. i will love him and cuddle him and i will call him george. except the girls are calmer. whatever. GAH.
but i'm gunna try, and thus NOT TELL YOU.
today was amazing. except i had to have steve check out my hamstring. i probably won't play monday, but hopefully by tuesday.
&&
after practice i hung out with diana for a while and talked. i really, really missed talking to diana. we went into mrs. ward's room and talked to her. i was in there for about 45 minutes, because diana left with haley but nina came. she's such a cool teacher. we looked for mr allen and mr jones but they weren't there.
&&
nina and i walked around the school, found meredith, and walked outside and sat in the library courtyard and sat on that bench and talked. meredith had to go, but came back when marion found us, and we just hung out. it was super muddy, and meredith was barefoot. we tried to throw her in the mud, but she didn't want to.
i hate walking by john and having him completely ignore me. i figured maybe he wouldn't hate me, but i guess i was wrong.
with a spork!
..in the nude
&&
see ya at SCHOOL. can't wait for the rafting trip =]
i updated marion's blog for her since she hasn't in a while. i changed her profile, there's a link at the bottom of her info. go check it out.
i came back to michigan today.
i'm posting my schedule. tell me what classes we have.
latin II - michael powers
english I - kelly williams
choir - benjamin cohen
foundations in civilization - nereida nazzaro
jazz band I - neil donato
geometry honors - DR roohi baveja
intro biology - martha friedlander
so that's THAT.
i have soccer, more later.
&&
soccer was pretty fun. more running than in ohio, that's for damn sure. it's refreshing being able to have the ball without high expectations and just pass it away. i miss being forward though. maybe if we are ever winning by a lot i can play up there but i doubt it. whatever, it's still soccer.
i made some cool dinner with my mom. mango salsa on some tofu and beans and rice and onions with cumin and then some chilled avocado soup. i fried some pieces of tortilla and put that on there. it's a cool cookbook. the avocado stuff sounds nasty but it was good.
just hangin out. i wanted to hang out with aj but i cant because apparently hanging out with him without his parents is a big nono. even though i could ride the bus to ann arbor and then see a movie and then eat dinner there with some girl i pick up [which i wouldn't] and then come home at 8 if i wanted to.
who wants to see bourne ultimatum with me? soon?
i built my brother the coolest train track. he'll end up "blowing it up with spiderman with a bomb and superman is bad BOOMBOOMBOOMMMMMM" by the end of the day, but it's still cool. i used all the pieces and everything.
i'm wearing pants because it's raining. good. i hope it stops lightninging before soccer because i can't STAND a cancelled game. NOOOO. and we're going to kick their asses because they're not the most talented group of children.
but not by too much.
anyways. i retuned my guitar back to the normal kind and i'm learning a lot of new songs at once. they're all too boring compared to what i had been playing. i need to start writing again.
well, i guess we're going to CHUCKY CHEESES' [i love spelling it that way. usually at least one sheltered child with fond memories corrects me..] so i have to leave now.
all turning, interlocking, propelling everything towards the end. even the smaller workings have an effect on the greater scheme and the daunting large ones only serve the tiny purpose. hundreds of thousands of perfect teeth, propelling everything towards the unkown. why is the unknown so hard to accept? fear alone should not justify pride.
i hope at least meghna gets it. meghna. looking at facebook, one wonders why she hasn't been on oprah or something based on sheer popularity and the general assumption that she's obviously the world's next supergenius. let's hope she figures out a way to grow dark chocolate m&ms on trees, because i have a serious craving for them right now.
that was random.
&&
today i relaxed because i was super sore from the soccer game [one of these posts i won't mention it, i PROMISE] and because it's hot enough to turn heather's dad's pool into a bathtub. 100 degrees, at the lowest today. we went to geneva for a while, which is a chintzy little strip with mini golf and crappy plywood signs.. but we ate lunch at ferrante, which is this winery. one with actual GRAPES on the vines outside, you know. real pretty, real tasty. i got some pasta with peppers and white wine creamy sauce. delicious. oh, and a salad.
then everyone took a nap so i was bored.
&&
i got back into reading the dark tower. it's really, really, really, really sad. but extremely well written. i hate stephen king. it's not as though i'll stop reading his artwork. so sad.
&&
AHH! hehehe. WHOA!! hehehe. AHH! hahaha!
&&
a moving removal
omniscient, reminiscent
remember, regret, forget
it's like the three step plan for recovery, right thur. ha.
i'm in a weird mood. the kind where you can be creative and look back lovingly on how genius you thought your own dumb remarks were. i also like pretending to be so emo i'm poetic.
not that it was poetic. WHAT THE HELL, i'm still keeping it.
&&
comment me.
soccer practice sucked. it was really hot so no one wanted to run. i did a lot of running, but then i waited until the end of practice to go throw up in the bathroom. i can't run for a straight hour with no water in that heat.. i guess it was smarter to slack off? less puking anyways.
we watched the game that came after our practice then and it doesn't look like we will have any problem with THOSE teams.. hehe. we might have a good record this year. definitely winning. i hope. but i can only stay for four games out of eight.
done with my obsession. more later.
&&
wow. at the soccer game there were people behind us from the other team.. our age, you know? one of them can't read. one of them has less vocabulary than my little brother. the other is intellicent but has absolutely no idea that i completely made fools of them all when they tried to fight with my friend and i. it was hilarious, because he was like WHAT'S WITH YOUR VOICE, YOU'RE SO GAY. and i said "what's your name?" and he's like "joe!" and i said "what's your favorite color?" "..uhhm.. red.." "now what, joe, did you just call me?" "OH YEAH, A FREAK!" "right." my friend's laughing. he's talking to one of the other ones. "you know, his brother has a bigger vocabulary than you." he's like "huh?" "i can't believe you don't even comprehend that." "um.. what's that mean!" i laughed and told my friend that the irony was killing me. the kid asked why we were making up words.
hmm..
&&
my parents keep going to bed at 9.
&&
i can almost play "night after sidewalk" by kaki king all the way through! i have all the parts, but the transition is hard. it's a really good song.
i just edited. at the bottom. go read it. i would have made a new post, but i like this title. finally, i have a "meghna" title. HA. try your best. except i just changed the horrible blog title that was only there for a day. in your face, childish[ly] nonsensical[ly] unfortunate[ly] desire[able]s. HA. that wasn't me.
&&
we are having soccer practice every day pretty consistently. i love riding my bike. today it was pouring rain all through practice and then it started raining even harder when it was time to ride back.. fun stuff. so i rode no hands with my headphones around my neck and spraying mud everywhere, singing. i got some weird looks.
&&
i just kicked lauren's quizz's [ha] ass.
&&
i can't wait for high school.
i can't wait for soccer games. maybe they'll be less fun because we aren't as good this year.. although, in a lot of ways, we're better. a lot better. i don't know.
i can't wait until i say something you don't all know. comment anyways.
&&
maya, that's not what i was referring to. i wasn't talking about a "secret" or anything like that.
&&
i have a song stuck in my head.
this is the first day of my life
i'm glad i didn't die before i met you
so if you wanna be with me
with these things there's no telling
we just have to wait and see
but i would rather be working for a paycheck
than waiting to win the lottery
besides, maybe this time it's different
i mean i really think you like me
oh, and.. you have no idea. seriously.
"we all know, josh, jeez, we could all tell.."
no, you seriously have absolutely no idea.
except one person. who doesn't seem alive.
high school musical is SO BAD. so bad.
sorry.
okay, really. it's getting old..
&&
casino royale is next.
&&
i'm really confused. i'm really, really confused. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNN ITTT. i'm beginning to wonder how many promises i'm going to have to make before.. god..
&&
MAYBE WE'RE GETTING PUNK'D!!
&&
camping was pretty fun. "canoeing" sucked. but then heather and my brother got out and walked and stopped stressing and so my dad and i were fine. we didn't tip at all. the people with us tipped within 5 seconds, and their entire canoe was full of water. they put their canoe 15 feet into the rapids, sideways, and waited for their dad to get in. didn't help that the girl was being a humnifuh.
sitting around the fire with my dad at midnight was the best part.. he was telling me stories about this national geographic guy.. i can't make it sound cool. it was REALLY QUIET. and pitch black except for the embers of our fire. you could clearly see the milky way.. it was really pretty.
&&
see you guys. comment.
ah, so stephan spent the night and that was cool.
"stop shooting your gun, it is killing me."
"no, see, i was shooting the guys around you so they would go away."
"you just shot me."
"good point."
we rode around ALL DAY TODAY. to the lake, to get slushies, and onion rings, and crap like that.
i finally talked to nina. i hope everything.. yeah.
more later.
&&
it's later
i'm in michigan. yay.
this is by that fountain in ann arbor. it's where my mom's art fair spot is going to be. there are a bunch of fairs.. but she's in the good one.
i cropped amelia out. she was looking away.
whoa! it's.. it's.. i can't believe i just posted a picture of myself on a blog. completely unheard of. oh well.
this makes me happy. putt putt!
&&
no one told me i had a broken link in the last post. meghna, darling? where WERE you on that one?
kidding.
i have to tell you this before you make assumptions, patrick duggan [jswiss...]. it's meghna rao. heehee.
but only because she showed me the best song ever. it's on my myspace, should you care to look.
today rocked, mkay?
my brother woke me up at 9 and is like NATURE HUNT NATURE HUNT me: huh... him: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
so we drive a few hours into pennsylvania, and it's all these hills and trees and rivers and we jumped out, ate a picnic lunch, and hiked. we found this waterfall, and it was maybe a vertical half mile to the top. it wasn't straight up, though. it was just flowing down through mossy rocks and in this awesome forest. i'm tired because all i did was climb straigh up the thing, on all the rocks, slipping,laughing, ya know. heather and my bro and dad took the paths mostly. i was hanging upside down above the water and i saw this cool little salamander crawling on the rocks i was hanging onto, right next to my left shoe, but i couldn't grab it.
i love mountains.
i read past the boring part in my book, and so now i'm booking [hopahopahopahopa].
i've just had a stunning revelation. i haven't been invited to a single chat.. in.. i honestly don't remember. HA. eat it, world. GRR.
meghna and i are arguing about mental disorders. in a good way. also whether i have any. myth: plausible.
&&
OH YEAH. and that song? the video's on their myspace. watch it. NOW.
&&
cool whip.
cool hwip.
cool whip.
cool hwip!
you're eating hair!
&&
he drove them into a great singing force that seemed to go through them like a wind, turning them into something as insubstantial as a thought, or a dream in the head of some sleeping god.
&&
and with that.. i'm out. thankee-sai.
&&
just kidding. you can get a BIB with that on it! AH!
