| Hey all. I'm back from my final choir tour, and I must say I feel quite
relieved. I'm done now. I don't HAVE to go back. It's a good feeling. I
mean, I'll want to come back occasionally, but I am totally ready for a
break from GPC.
If you wanna know about the trip, just ask.

| Final GoodbyesYou know, I've been looking back lately at all of the entries I've ever
done in this thing. It's kinda crazy. I've grown up a lot, it seems. I
graduate in a week. I know I'm just going of to community college, but
it feels like I'm leaving something very important behind. But I'm okay
with that. I've never been okay with things like that before. I was
petrified to leave elementary school. I went back and visited it the
other day. It seemed so much smaller than it once had. I was nothing
short of grateful to leave junior high, but that's to be understood,
looking at the junior high I went to. I walked out of that building
confident in the knowledge that I would never enter it again. Not for a
million dollars. I think that's my one exception to what I'm trying to
say here. I mean, every summer I hate having to leave my friends!
Because we all suddenly are away doing other things. It'll be the same
this summer, only some of them will go and I'll never see them again.
And I guess that makes me sad, but mostly I'm okay with it. Why is
that? Why am I accepting this fate? I certainly don't want to loose my
friends, but it's inevitable. I guess, over the years, I've learned to
accept the inevitable.
There's something else I've really come to accept about myself this
year, on the topic of my writing. I've finally realized that I do not
want to be a writer anymore. I don't even want to study writing in
college. I even hope I won't have to do too much writing in college,
although I know I'll have to. I've realized that, as far as writing is
concerned, I'm finished. Burned out. All those classes have driven me
to it. I mean, I always knew I didn't want to go into journalism
because it would require me to write with deadlines, and I knew I
couldn't do that. Writing has to be for me only, on my time, whenever I
feel like it. I'm only really just starting to grasp that that applies
to ALL THE TIME for me. People say that "if you want to become a
writer, you have to learn to deal with it". So you know what? I won't
become a writer. DON'T get me wrong, I'll still write. But I will do as
a very wise man once told me: "Write for yourself. No one else."
Write for yourself. No one else.

| Hey all.
So.
Let me tell you about my weekend.
Saturday:
COULD NOT sleep Friday night and was up by 4:00 on Saturday. I sat
around and watched movies until 7:00, when I got ready to go to the
Fundraiser Car Wash for theatre Scotland trip. I was at that from 8:15
to 12:00. It sucked. THEN I had to go immediately to the first Stepping
Off Place rehearsal (the show we're taking to Scotland). It went really
well, 'cept I scraped my knee when I plummet to the floor in a pool of
tears. And I felt REALLY bad for Alec because Mac kept picking on him
'cause he's just a sophmore and has never work with him before.
Thankfully, Alec is tough and he gets what Mac is talking about.
Finally Mac gave us time to eat in the middle of rehearsal (it ran till
5:00). After rehearsal I made my parents go out to eat with me to make
myself feel better.
Sunday:
Church. Usual, 'cept the praise band was really good today. I love it
when that happens. Takes me back to the good old days. Anyway, Went
home for about two seconds, then went back for handbell rehearsal for
concert. I went and got lunch (Subway, yummm) and went back to church
for the concert. I completely messed up during one song 'cause Marshall
wasn't there to
turn the pages of the music for me, so I kept getting lost. But it only
took me 8 measures to come back in   .
W/e. It's done. Went back home for two more seconds, then to pick up
Austin and go to choir. Thank God there was no handbell rehearsal that
afternoon. Choir was better than usual. In other words, it wasn't a
total disaster. No one was outragously disrespectful to Tracy and
Jason. It's been months since that's happened. So yeah, I was pleased.
Went to the LAST senior meeting for Senior Sunday. If any of you are in
town, you should come. That means you, Rand.
Currently I am at home and eating Chocolate Decadence. It is very possibly the best desert in the entire world. Awesome possum.
I will end this entry with some John Lennon lyrics:
"Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism
Isn't it the most
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Ev'rybody's talking about
Ministers, Sinisters, Banisters and canisters,
Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Pop eyes,
And bye bye, bye byes.
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Let me tell you now
Ev'rybody's talking about
Revolution, Evolution, Mastication, Flagelolation, Regulations.
Integrations, Meditations, United Nations, Congratulations
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Oh Let's stick to it
Ev'rybody's talking about
John and Yoko, Timmy Leary, Rosemary, Tommy smothers, Bob Dylan,
Tommy Cooper, Derek Tayor, Norman Mailer, Alan Ginsberg, Hare Krishna,
Hare Krishna
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance"

| Hey.
So, yeah. I totally got cast as Brandy in this play, A Stepping Off
Place. Brandy is like, supposed to be this crazy-ass bitch who's trying
to
kill this other girl that slept with her fiance and kill anybody that
gets in her way. I think what got me the part was how I almost killed
Alec at
the auditions trying to get to Tracy. It was funny. I don't think those
people had ever heard me curse before. Just made me laugh. Oh, yeah,
and Brandy like tries to kill herself about three times before the show
ends. So, yeah, SOUNDS LIKE ME! Not.
Apparently we're supposed to perform it at this, like, crazy important
theatre in Dallas before we take it to Scotland, but I'm going to be on
choir tour then. So it's a good thing it's double cast. Oh, yeah, I'm
also playing this girl Darleen, which is actually just like Random Girl
#4 or something, and it doesn't even have a line.
But, yeah, I think it's gonna be a fun
summer.
I just watched Juno. That movie freaking cracks me up.
