The sleep deprivation I have undergone in the past few days is setting in; therefore, I am currently unable to fill in the major, lovely details of the weekend. It will all be revealed in time...

WRANGLE THE WILDCATS! HOORAY FOR A 1 AND 4 SEASON!!!!!
ok, so I'm not really getting into the homecoming mode. Sure, let's back up our football team, especially in the hard times, blah blah blah. I'm sorry that I happen to notice when you lose 9 out 10 games the previous season, and then vow that "we're going to have a great year!" Where exactly is that year, may I ask? Because the games I've been attending (it's a requirement, at that) are certainly not what was promised at many a lackluster pep rally. The parade was long, sweaty and cumbersome, but not unexpected. I saw tons of people with looks of intense excitement on their faces, so I guess it was beneficial to some. The bonfire and post activities were not all they were cracked up to be. I went home and cleaned up mildly, and returned to the bonfire. There I saw a total of six people I knew well enough to comfortably strike up a conversation with. Multiple cars had cranked up rap songs playing, while juveniles commenced inappropriate dancing. Couples were sucking face, and I was reminded of a Friday night at movies 8th grade. So, I went home after seeing jason hopper shirtless (?), daphne wandering aimlessly, being asked by some kid for $20 to pee on the bonfire, and ray whisenhunt, the phantom of chick-fil-a. All in all, a uniquely strange evening. Tomorrow may prove to be just as odd.

My head is aching right now. This is not due to the fact that I'm working on the economics exam for mrs. mmkay, but that being surrounded by terrible remixes of "dance to the music" and the like, loudmouthed carnies, and cigarette smoke for a whole day grates my nerves. Yes, I went to the fair, and ate more than enough for all of the people who chose wisely to stay in the comfort of their homes. It is really amazing the amount of money poured into the entire excursion by everyone involved, myself included. We won't even get into the unsanitary aspect of the whole ordeal. But, after a comment on germs by one of my companions, I went back to the bathroom and washed my hands more thoroughly. I suppose that as a younger person, the experience was more fulfilling, but when you leave with an overwhelming aroma of perfumed scents that cause your temples to cringe, the enjoyment and glee just don't come to mind. However, there was a silver lining, which entails a b&w beatles picture I got from this cool asian dude, and a nifty 'authentic' african bracelet. I was pleased with these purchases, as well as the lack of vomiting witnessed, or partaken in. And now for something completely different: Arnold Schwarzenegger is the governor of california. I am quite amused.

"Yes, now you know. Now you know! That's what it was to be alive. To move about in a cloud of ignorance; to go up and down trampling on the feelings of those...of those about you. To spend and waste time as though you had million years. To be always at the mercy of one self-centered passion, or another. Now you know--that's the happy existence you wanted to go back to. Ignorance and blindness."
This weekend was semi relaxed, and a bit hectic, and generally progressed too rapidly.
Friday's game was predictable, with Rockwall leaving Plano West in defeat. Some people there came down with a crappy stomach virus a little later that night, so I truly hope I haven't taken in any germs. Half-time was decent, and the bus ride was surreal. I had a few of those moments where I felt like I wasn't really a part of the situation around, but a casual observer. This could be due to the fact that I was listening to Radiohead, and feeling mellow. But, aside from the screaming, estrogen filled back of the school bus, everything went smoothly.
Saturday, I woke up much later than planned. There was a group of people meeting at Starbucks at 8:45; however, when you get up a mere 20 minutes before that, the likelihood of your attendance is slim to none. So, I dragged my weary body to the high school at 9:15ish, and was nearly late. We made it to Mesquite in one piece, performed decently enough, and got a 2, 2, 1. Not good, but not bad either.
Trekked over to the homestead to discover that family went to eat. I made a whataburger run, and then journeyed with the female parental unit to collin creek.
Dillard's had a respectable enough selection of dresses, and after picking over most of the selection, I found one. Black, spaghetti strap, knee length with puffy, sticky out material at the bottom. Red belt sash at waist and black velvetish design on whole thing. To my great pleasure, dillard's also has a nice shoe selection, so I got some red, rhinestone heels that scream "hot" (no, really!).
today, aka sabbath, went to church, then youth council. to my dismay, we got out at 1:20, when I had been told to meet at 12:00 for working on the economics test. Thankfully, there was a slight delay, and we all met up at about 2:00 at Rach's.
Progressed fairly well on the test, but some of these problems are bleak looking right now. Departed from the economic chewy goodness and had choir and youth.
And here I am, attempting to do this test, and occupying myself with everything except the dreadful packet from hell. It's back to the matresses, for now.

When the busy day is done
And my weary little one
Rocketh gently to and fro;
When the night winds softly blow,
And the crickets in the glen
Chirp and chirp and chirp again;
Where 'pon the haunted green
Fairies dance around their queen,
Then from yonder misty skies
Cometh Lady Button Eyesbloggerpic.JPG

This morning I had a realization: my spiral that I use for everything and one of my folders just wasn't conveniently located in my bag, but somewhere in the black abyss of rhs. Thankfully, dr. simpson had retrieved the aforementioned items and safeguarded them for me. So, I was free to create works of utter stupidity and randomness yet again. I mean, what is school for, after all? And now, while I read sparknotes on my novel for ms. o' hateme's class, you, my loyal minions, I mean readers can be entertained by the fruits of last week's labor.

I need to post more often. and I don't mean that as a semi-dedicated, fakey promise to myself. after thinking about it, I need to commit fully to the limited activities I actually care about. so, I signed up for nanowrimo about 5 minutes ago, and am actually going to attempt this insane feat of literary...well, not genius. But you get the jist.
School has been moderately easy as of late. the workload this year is sufficiently easier than junior year. My sincere empathy to all you ap scholars. You will survive, even if you have the occasional nightmare about andrew jackson, or outburst of "we didn't start the fire." And to those of you kiddies in pre-cal, words cannot begin to convey my utter loathing and contempt for the subject matter. enough griping, I've gotten over that bridge and burned it, believe me.
Ms. o'brien gave me two tolerable grades on my college essay, I got a 91 on my euro project, and I've finally decided what I'm going to major in. wait, nix the last thought, that was mrs. duran speaking for me. I guess I'm reading 'beloved' again for my outside novel. As far as I remember it was a lovely read, filled with a mother killing her youngest baby, and that baby returning to haunt the unlucky woman who graphically ended her life. What an uplifting experience. sparknotes.com is my bosom buddy. Also, The Iliad is due soon, so be prepared, ap english peeps.
my typing has gotten lazier than the average american. what a disgrace

finally made my presentation look tolerable. methinks dr. simpson will be a hard grader, but there is always hope. a speaker came to health today and told how he was the driver in an accident that killed a girl when he was 18. he'd had a couple drinks and now, his life is screwed. hardly any job opportunities, a criminal record, the scorn of the general public, massive fines and payments. this was not some below normal intelligence, drunkard. he was a good student, and a fairly upstanding person. it's sad that one decision can shape the route your life will take. at least my class was respectful to the guy. psa meeting was the highlight of the day, and band sucked, but what else is new? yay for leslie being spotlight sweetheart, and justine for psa. huzzah
i really do love the weekend. despite the ridiculously light workload i have this year, saturday and sunday are peachy. school was blah all week, and crappy substitutes who just happen to be cheerleading moms should go away and burn. "no one stays in a dorm their sophomore year, that's nerdy." gag me with a bottle of hair dye and color me orange with skin cancer.
went to panda during lunch, and finalized the cheer created originally by rachel and leslie (here comes the next part!) friday after school, cast list was posted. some major shocks and revelations were made, and surprising choices by ms. cross. i am remaining impartial due to lack of involvement/ opinion on the subject. except, why did russell get a part? my mind is still reeling from the...grief? well, after leaving school and committing random acts of randomness at starbucks, rach, lez and i ventured around the general area with me ina shopping cart, to the horror of wal mart's many patrons.
friday night was football free (how about that alliteration). for some absurd reason, i rented Oliver! which is a spiffy musical filled with adorable, malnourished, british orphan boys who sing. it just doesn't get any better than this.
saturday, went to the aspasians after sleeping in for a good duration of time. bought a pimp necklace which uses 'fractals' as designs. tis the epitome of grandeur.
today was relaxed. actually ate with family after service today. applebee's has finally redeemed itself with me. godspell is going to be sweet, as long as everybody will be serious and actually try to act.
and now, sleep. dual credit tomorrow, MMMMKAAY? abe.jpg

quick detour from my ap euro project. you'd think the renaissance would be a fun time period to study, yet this power pt is really bogging me down.
got starbucks on the way home from umyf, so i'm prepared for an all nighter, yet i doubt it will be necessary.
well, the football game was entertaining apart from rockwall's horrible attempt at being halfway decent. i would say 38 to 10 says something about the head coaching, but that obviously hasn't clicked with the athletic director, oh wait, the varsity coach is the athletic director too. CRAP.
saturday was tolerable, but i sincerely dislike town east mall. must find the easy way to get to collin creek.
reasons town east is horrible:
1. the stores and general atmosphere cater to the ghetto
2. you can't walk around comfortably without worrying about personal belongings/ getting shot
3. overcrowded
4. 1 out of 5 people there are from rockwall, and they are always the ones you don't want to see
5. cleanliness is not just an abstract concept
please note, the above statements are overly opinionated/subjective, and the author is by no means, a bigot, rascist, fascist, janitor, terrorist or a nazi (despite the claims of certain band members)

HUZZAH FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES IN FILESHARING
so, this entire saga with the Kazaa, Morpheus, Win MX et al. is really a bit bothersome. did anyone honestly download music knowing "I'm obviously breaking eleventy billion copyright laws! ::smile::"? and are the main artists in question (Madonna, Britney, and rappers I don't feel like naming) really tightening their belts and suffering because of this. if so, i would like to apologize for the fact that i don't always want to buy a cd for one or two songs that i actually care for out of possibly 12 songs i don't give a darn about.
i hope everyone who has a major cache of songs on their computer has avoided this crap. and to all you lucky folks with subpoenas, my utmost pity. screw you, riaa.

today was one of those "what is the main point of me even being here" days.
besides the fact that i have no substantial classes, we didn't even log on in bcis.
and then, when i considered switching to ap comp sci,
1. this was the last day to get out
2. i don't know if i get a tech credit from ap c. sci
3. randolph usually dismisses people's requests to alter their schedules, unless they are mandatory
4. mrs. duran was on the phone when i feebly attempted to switch, so i didn't want to interrupt
5. i almost wet myself upon entering the counselor's office out of sheer terror of the staff.
needless to say, bcis will be...interesting, if not educational

well, the summer is coming to a close. it has been truly quick, yet exhilarating. the college kids are heading off this weekend, so we are officially the top of the school, seniors '04. i have to get schedule today, despite the fact that i know all of my classes, and the general order of things.
tomorrow is the swim recreation thing at rush creek for band. so from 1-5, anyone who wants to come and terrorize the freshmen, please bring some life to the party. hazing will not be possible, however, so no gallons of milk, pickles, markers, dog food, cheese wiz, peanut butter, whipped cream, illegal alcohol, or your old mexican nanny will be allowed. other than the aforementioned mayhem, anything goes.
this is a public service announcement by the 501C3 known as kathryn.

went boating with allie and the griffin gals yesterday after service project madness. quite a lark, for I successfully kneeboarded a few times. i had never attempted this before, so the entire thing was really entertaining. watched E.T., because that is a sweet dvd. now broomball tonight and lock in. most excellent.

I'm an American Idle. yes, summer has instituted the lackluster phobia of work and all things associated with it. got to read the rest of Catch 22, and the Iliad, and Beowulf. catch 22 is a semi easy read. the humour is wacked out, but it is about war. but now, i'm chillin' after a day of thrift store mania, and "cracker barrel 'o fun." got five shirts at stine's favorite store, aka the goodwill in greenville. also, got a nifty green jumpsuit from a store on the square. i love bargains :D is anyone doing anything remotely entertaining on the 4th? if so, contact me asap. my plans are not yet laid (heh)

upon my arrival after choir tour, several things had occured. my parents went to a honda motorcycle store. i am seventeen years of age. i am currently suffering from sinus drainage and an eye infection.
well, i finished Harry Potter OoTP in no time. great book, all (866?) pages of it. the overall mood is angry and more dark but i still <3 jk rowling. she made a statement whilst being interviewed by katie couric. apparently, all the talk of her having writer's block and getting sick of harry is bs. ::cheer::
going to six flags tomorrow, despite detriments to my health. went to the byrd's house sunday night and watched/ poked fun at blue crush.
oh, i saw the hulk at amc yesterday. it was actually not a daredevilesque flop. two thumbs up.
i missed tons of drama/entertaining events during my leave of absence. i went white-water rafting in colorado springs and got to sing at the capital. candace called but i never got back to her. drove to irving fumc on my own on saturday. wahoo for loop 12.

this week is going to be hellish. stress doesn't end with school. i have to get suitable attire for trip, get ready for friday (leave for colorado), practice on mon. and thursday, ortho, take brother everywhere, survive
rooney tonight. probably won't be able to go. it's my mom's birthday, plus the fact that it's in deep ellum is not exactly thrilling to my parents. they didn't care about riding with russell/matt/stac but this is different. oh well, it may all be over soon
I'll make the calls,
You cover your ears,
Niagara Falls
Still flows on New Year's,
I will save your plunging neck line,
I kiss your face,
You try to deck mine,
If I behave it's gonna cost him,
Skip the rave in downtown Boston,
And we know the show must go on,
Guess I know,
I guess I'll throw on,
rooney tonight. probably won't be able to go. it's my mom's birthday, plus the fact that it's in deep ellum is not exactly thrilling to my parents. they didn't care about riding with russell/matt/stac but this is different. oh well, it may all be over soon
I'll make the calls,
You cover your ears,
Niagara Falls
Still flows on New Year's,
I will save your plunging neck line,
I kiss your face,
You try to deck mine,
If I behave it's gonna cost him,
Skip the rave in downtown Boston,
And we know the show must go on,
Guess I know,

day 3 of summer vacation. here's a recap of the past few days' activities:
-Sunday: first service in the new building. everything went smoothly, and it looked hella tight (TGS). played in orchestra all 3 services, and went to senior reception after. then went home and laid around for a bit. choir practice and pool at the belew's. home.
-Monday: woke up at 10:00. ha, suckas. cleaned up, then went briefly to school, and cleaned out my locker/turned in project/ got TEA form. then went home and lazed around some more. burned two cds with rooney, phantom planet, radiohead, switchfoot, etc.
-Tuesday: got up at 9:45 and got ready for one measly class. went to spanish to sit around andplay cards with duran and others. went home at 2:30. watched half of titanic. went to harry meyer's to play volleyball, and had a swell time. finished movie at 12:00 am
-Wednesday: got up to the sound of incessant pounding. roofers came this morning to repair the roof, and they've been here since 8:30. I HAVE TO GET OUT. the rattling is causing tiny bits of ceiling to fall, and you can't hear yourself think. at 7 i'm going to chili's to eat with disciple folks, but other than that, it's solitary confinement and chinese water torture.

SCHOOL IS OUT! well, almost out. i actually have to go to class on monday and tuesday for various reasons. and i lost my spanish book. $48 for a language i'm never going to study again. probably the first text book i ever lost. ::sniffle:: no I AM NOT BITTER
band banquet rocked the house. catering was actually edible and the drum major/ section leader results were...predictable. i have no further comment on that delightful part of the evening, except that the slide show was good. dance wise, the music selection was acceptable, and going stag is quite fun. i danced with multiple people (some of which i didn't know), and was unobligated to tag along with a date. :D go singles! hyperness and attempts at raving ensued. a good time was had by all.
cole's house until 3 am. i now know what a drunk driver feels like. so, an entertainment filled evening wrapped up a superb year, and by superb i mean HELLISH.
what i signed in cook's 'yearbook':
Dear Mrs. Cook,
Thank you for making this year fun, and by fun I mean stressful. (just kidding)
Have a great summer.

in the opposite corner, i added a more personal note: FHGWDADS!
and the beat goes on.....

She doesn’t have the answer yet
The answer yet
I’m breathing down her neck
Maybe I should give her time
If it were up to me
She would know that
She’ll be the one
When I’m dead
Will use my bed
And she’ll spend her life
Thinking of us and making a fuss
If it were up to me
She would know that our love (our love )
Is the best love (best love)
If it were up to me...
Yes our love (our love)
Is Real love
So just let it be

That we work as one
Like the Jackson five
And the temptations
If it were up to me
She would know that our love (our love )
Is the best love (best love)
If it were up to me...
Yes our love (our love)

So just let it be
Well your mother likes my smile
And your father likes my lifestyle

It’s easy (easy)

Oh it's been awhile hasn't it? thank god for summer in less than a week. this weekend was off the hook. state was a sucess and by sucess I mean, we got a 3 on our ensemble. but we had fun in the process. from weird kids calling the room to being unbreakable, it was a grand affair. one might even say a magnificent obsession.

"The three headed Advanced Placement monster is within striking range of its prey. It bares it yellowed, surgical-grade fangs and growls, not menacingly, but rather, ominously. It begins its slow crawl, ready to toy with its prey before it rips it to pieces. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
A few stand against the beast. They laugh indifferently as they sharpen their Ticonderoga #2's. Their voices laugh; their eyes do not. Their laughter belies the steely flint of determination set in their cold eyes. Putting aside competition and rivalry, each wishes the other luck as they walk off, individually, in an attempt to best the creature. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
lol, what a load of crap."

You have a mysterious kiss. Your partner never
knows what you're going to come up with next;
this creates great excitement and arousal never
knowing what to expect. And it's sure to end
in a kiss as great as your mystery.
What kind of kiss are you?

presuppositions make an ignorant public
the mutual prejudice makes me want to scream
the political moves that are rash and so quick,
and we'd like to pretend that it's just a bad dream
while a battle ensues, and the soldiers die trying
our flags are raised high and the proud anthem plays
yet in that foreign land, there are people there crying
waiting for a time when they'll have peaceful days
the sons and the fathers of families like ours
brothers, and cousins and uncles there too
all forced into conflict by government powers
these men have to fight us, the red, white and blue
and when I hear our fighters have killed people aplenty
not only the armed men who can surely fight back
but the women and children from that distant country
that were driving a van, not planning an attack
I wonder if we are the righteous defender
sworn to take down the dictator so vile
for we destroy all the land, and we choose to render
all that we love, to make fighting worthwhile

hats off to the cast and crew of 'splendor in the grass.' they took 3 awards: rachel got honorable mention cast, taylor got all star cast, and kristin got best actress over all. ::cheers:: congrats for advancing to area! my dad and my brother were in a civil war reenactment in fort worth from 7:30 am to 8:00 pm. today i went out to old navel with my maternal unit, and ate at el fenix, only the best mexican restaurant EVER. then we saw 'the hours' at amc 30 and it was quite odd. not what i was expecting at all. it was about 3 women living in different time periods and their lives in one day. very depressing, yet still really good. lots of unexpected kissing between women. an older couple in the theatre got up and left in the middle. i kind of laughed and felt akward at the same time, because it was weird seeing nicole kidman practically make out with her sister. still, worthy of praise, and liberal enough to be recognized by the academy. ciao (oh, i bought the evanescence cd and it rocks my face to a pulp) o.0

"Adagio for strings and peppermint things blind the eyes of ones who are captivated by the light and cannot turn their mind from the beautiful distraction. Angels fly and elephants die at the hand of jealous vengeance in adulterated minds. Thoughts of confusion and bombs of delusion light up the skies and missiles are streaming as the sun cries: disappointed in our failure to potentially love. Bombs will never be a safe alternative to love. I would rather Saddam or Bush take my life than anyone else's. I would die for all of them if it quenched their thirst for blood. I am driven by love; turned away by hate. I write this, as on the news I see not love, I see not even a feeble attempt at love, not a grain of gratitude offered up to the one we worship on Sundays that we have to opportunity to love. When you feed the hungry, you feed God. When you comfort the weary, you comfort God. When you shelter the homeless, you house God. When you turn on love, you turn God."

war, what is it good for? well, we must ask ourselves this at the moment when all the events from the past two years come to a climax. 'terror' has gotten a grip on the hearts on minds of americans everywhere. finger pointing runs rampant. political and social dissent cause abrupt change in culture as we know it. censorship, bigotry, prejudice, corruption all play into our government and our everyday life. but hey, we're still the 'land of the free' at least 'somewhat free'

It's a jazz affair, drum crashes and cornet razzes.
The trombone pony neighs and the tuba jackass snorts.
The banjo tickles and titters too awful.
The chippies talk about the funnies in the papers.
The cartoonists weep in their beer.
Ship riveters talk with their feet
To the feet of floozies under the tables.
A quartet of white hopes mourn with interspersed snickers:
"I got the blues.
I got the blues.
I got the blues."
And . . . as we said earlier:
The cartoonists weep in their beer.

If I was your love, I would want only you. so I lay at this altar, waiting for all that is true. but this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you. and there is nothing you can do...for love I have scaled the face of these kingdom walls. so, let down your hair let our kiss make fools of them all.

"alas my love, you say goodbye. wipe the poison from my brow. alas my love, this guilty night, it gives me up like a foster child. and in this moment I take my vow, these angels sleeping at my feet. and in this moment you do not know how my spirit wants to flee" One man, against the night, taking on a multitude that had left him high and dry. no candle burning vigil could light the way. darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite. he wrestled until morning with human souls and dark angels, and there he finished his work
on the third day.
on the third day.

yeah, that's me. always silent in the face of adversity.
oh pooh. exams have been procrastinated by the ignorant school district, and life is misery for all students unfortunate enough to suffer the test wrath.
I've had separation anxiety from my computer. it's been over a week and I hadn't gotten on at all. haven't checked any email yet, but last time I had 83 new, and only 2 were relevant to my everyday life. what is it with these spammers? they need to have an unfortunate death by ice pick.
guitar is improving. i haven't got mad skill yet, but hey, how do you get to carnegie hall?...(if you didn't catch that reference, you were a deprived child)
must get down to business on the cook review and other miscellaneous atrocities. wish me luck!
