It seems that just when I think everything is good and I've got it all figured out, Ben points out something I've done wrong.
Not that he means to.
But he often knows what he's talking about...more so than I do.
And apparently I can't share my feelings with anyone without crying.
Woo, estrogen!!
No wonder my dad freaks out at me a lot.
Yeah.
"So Close" by John McLaughlin is my favorite song right now. It's adorable...and driving me crazy.
My favorite part of "Enchanted" is when Patrick Dempsey starts singing that song to Amy Adams, and she starts crying.
And then Idina Menzel and James Marsden cut in.
The sermon was so good today. It was about Hannah and her problems conceiving, and how much Elkanah loved her.
And Pastor Barry actually made it possible for us to feel sorry for the other wife, who was so mean to Hannah.
I mean, you would be mean to her, too, if your husband didn't love you.
Not to excuse it, or anything.
And then Hannah's desire for a son was a God-given desire...but he'd closed her wound and was waiting for his timing.
Then, when she gave up her first born, he blessed her 5 times over, with 5 more kids she hadn't even expected.
The people behind me had a 4-year-old daughter and they started crying.
And then they sang some really good songs. I love Sundays.

Go Straight To Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $200.
I just spent an hour and a half playing cars with little kids, and then having them send me to jail.
Summer small groups at church are working out REALLY well so far. We met some cool families. They all liked Tie a lot. The little kids liked Luke, and he was nice to them, and I let them change his water.
Mmm, ice cream.
"Uno" is a stupid game.
So my dad's dreams finally came true: I like jazz.
Mr. Faxon dragged us all over to North Thurston to play at a jazz festival, even though we were the only ones from our district to attend. Not weird. But it was fun and there were a lot of good bands (even one that played "Let's Groove", which is my favorite song!!!). The Seattle Women's Jazz Orchestra played, and they were pretty spectacular, but the BEST part was going to the Olympia Farmer's Market for lunch. Paul, Alexis, Sarah, and I got German-American food, and I ate all of Sarah's curly fries and mozzerella sticks, but she ate all my ice cream, and then we were all too full....
...and happened to pass a bakery full of the most delicious desserts known to man.
Drat. Drat that stupid ice cream and it's Caramel Caribou goodness.
Talent show, talent show.
I hate the talent show.

Cotton: The Next Generation of Hobbits
I'm addicted to the way I feel when I think of you, WOOOAH!!
WHEN I'M ALL ALONE, I JUST CAN'T STOP MYSEEEEELF!!
And I don't know the rest of the lyrics!
The morning paper.
Yeahs.
This middle school band came to party with us today, and they were pretty good, but Mr. Faxon wanted us interspersed (sp?) throughout their ginormous band (Us: 20, Them: 40), so Daniel and I sat together, because it was awkward otherwise.
We talked about all manner of things, such as cotton, "The King and I", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and other things.
6 200's! A little hard, but not TOO hard. Only when I tried my hardest, it wasn't hard enough, because I couldn't get my times to fall between 35 and 40 seconds. I'm averaging 43, and my time yesterday was 41.27. AAARGH. My best is 36.27!!!
Take one for the team, you all know what I mean. ^_^
And I'm so sorry, but not really. Tell the boys where to fiiiind my body. New York eyes, Chicago thighs, pushed up the window to kiss you off.
Dance tracks!!!
So our first meet yesterday was cool, but it was 40 degrees outside, and it's not that fun running in short shorts and a flimsy jersey in 40 DEGREE WEATHER!!1
I love this song!!!
Yeah. Coach Thorniley made me run 4 events, so I ended up doing the 200 and 60 as well as the 100, then did shotput to round it out.
Shotput at a tri-meet SUCKS.
I wanna dance. I'm going to freshmen with Amanda. Screw boys.
Today was the Day of Silence for the all the gay, lesbian, bi, and transexual people who feel discrimination. I took part in it for about three hours with all of my friends, but after a while we couldn't do it and had to talk.
So I felt a little bad, but we did "tell" people what we were doing and they were cool with it.
Except my dad definitely did NOT participate in the Day of Silence, and he not because he hates LGBT people, but because he feels we should treat all people equally and that Day of Silence is not necessary because he and others he knows treat all people equally. And he doesn't stand for gay marriage.
Well, neither do I, but I am against discrimination of any kind, and Day of Silence was sort of about all discrimination, not just discrimination against LGBT, and though I know people sometimes make a big deal out of nothing, I know what prejudice is like and have seen it, so that's mostly what today was about for me.
"The Carpal Tunnel of Love" is my new favorite song.
"Infinity On High" is my new favorite album.
What's THAT supposed to mean?

Red headed boys were bred for cheerful song singing
Agh.
Adam Wylie was the voice of Louis in "The King and I".
Adam.
Wylie.
THE BOY FROM CRAYOLA KIDS! HE'S 23 NOW!
23!!!
He was like 14 when he did TKAI.
He sucks at British accents.
"Moonshee, come here! [British]You'll get in trouble[/British] with your [British]master[/British]."
Ew, he was also the voice of David in "All Dogs Go To Heaven 2".
Hey, I used to like that movie. NO LONGER.
Anyone who willingly stars as a guest in an episode of "7th Heaven" does not deserve to live.

Also known as "furniture".
I was eating some key lime yogurt today and it was all seperated and the whey was all...whey-y, so all I could think was, "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!"
AAAAH I GOT MY BOOKS! Well, I got Madison Finn #11, and the Pony Pals, but the other Madison Finn is coming tomorrow, or next week...hopefully.
I think it's Brian. Dang you, Brian.
I changed my mind about Christiane Noll. She has a very clear, expressive voice, and I guess she had to add all those inflections because it was an animated film and she couldn't act very much otherwise, but it made "Getting to Know You" extremely annoying.
Who wouldn't want novelty St. Patrick's Day curtains?
Omg, prom fabric!
Yeah, I spent some time at JoAnn's with my mom. XP

I now know why my parents hate me.
Ew. Ew. Ew. Never watching "Quest For Camelot" EVER again.
Because Cary Elwes is the voice of Garrett. I knew his voice really bothered me for some reason, but I didn't know why.
Okay, when you look on the back of the movie, it doesn't look like there's anyone famous enough to have their name put on the back, but hello? Pierce Brosnan, Cary Elwes (ewwww), Celine Dion, Gary Oldman, Don Rickles, and Eric Idle provide the voice talents for this movie. Wows.
"The King and I" was even worse. I guess the filmmakers decided if they smushed 2 hours of plot, a few of the award-winning songs, and tons of "hilarious" slapstick humor into 90 minutes of cartoon, it would be great AND kid-friendly.
Not so much.
The songs were great...except Anna Leonowens had the MOST ANNOYING singing voice ever. Too breathy, and she sounded like the mom from "The Swan Princess".
Aaagh, just too awful. It was pretty racist, too. Master Little? Painful. And they gathered elements from ALL Asian cultures and tried to pass it off as Siamese.
The worst part? They didn't even use the theme from the original "The King and I".
However, Tuptim and Chululongkorn sang "I Have Dreamed", my absolute FAVORITE song from the original film (even though it technically wasn't in the original one).
Oh yeah, the delectably shirtless Lun Tha was missing, replaced by a grown-up Chululongkorn. Lol. And Tuptim was a flower arranger instead of a concubine, because concubines are not family appropriate. And, you know, it would be really awkward if the Crown Prince wanted to get with the girl his dad has been sleeping with.
Aaagh, Louis kept forgetting to put on his British accent. Kralahome = so evil. But he didn't even wear a skirt!
ROFL, there's a board on IMDB for "The King and I" entitled: I was on the staff of this movie and even I hate it.
So I'm watching it again this afternoon.
AAAAAAAH I FOUND A DRESS FOR FRESHMAN!!!!
It's a black halter with pinkish polka dots and netting under the skirt. I also got Vans that look like slippers to go with it.
So pumped.

Facepalm!
Heh. William made a pretty hilarious joke last night.
Lauren: [bringing up a topic that had been part of a discussion several nights previous] So once the king made sure Tuptim wasn't a virgin anymore, couldn't she and Lun Tha go for it whenever they wanted?
Mom: No, because she was part of his harem.
Lauren: So?
Mom: Meaning she was constantly being watched, so there was no place for them to be alone.
William: Yeah. [imitates Lun Tha] Okay, I think we're safe. [imitates tour guide] And over here we have a rare species of bird... *eyes widen in horror*
I guess you just had to be there.
So none of our family has been watching "American Idol" lately, because it's so boring, but David Hernandez was the first one voted out!!! That is so wrong! I bet it was because of the whole gay-stripper thing. Chikezie's out, too! For the love of pancakes, WHAT ABOUT KRISTY LEE COOK? SHE'S BEEN IN THE BOTTOM TWO FOR 3 WEEKS IN A ROW!!!
Aaargh.
"Beauty and the Geek" was pretty hilarious. "Hi, I'm Sara, and I've been sexually active with my boyfriend-" "Sexually active? What does that mean?" "Are you serious?" "So it's having sex...actively?" "No, having sex passively. Continue, Sara." "Hi, I'm Sara, and I've been having sex with my boyfriend-" "*covers ears* AAAGH, I need earmuffs!"
One of the guys looks and talks like Adam Sandler.
"Hell's Kitchen" was on, too, and no one could recognize Chef Ramsey with a prosthetic nose on. Then one of the chefs made a meal using raw venison, scallops, caviar, and white chocolate. Chef Ramsey threw up. Pretty sweet. Who doesn't love reality television?
