So life is just glorious! Today Annie and I went shopping to find her a dress, we make such a good team, and other fun and festive items. When we were done at the mall miss Wad and I went back to her home and I curled her hair. It looked soooooooo pretty. I did it how she wanted it to look for homecoming so that she could get the effect of the dress. After I finished she decided that she liked it so much that she cancelled her appointment with her stylist and is now having me do her hair for homecoming. If you would like to see pics they are on Miss Wad's xanga. So when, we were done with that, we went over to my house for a bit and spur of the moment just decided to die our hair. It was quite fun! They both look good. Mine is really dark, and Annie's is like auburn with brown. It looks soooooo good on her! There are also pics on her xanga of that as well.....I think. Anywho, life is grand! Hugs and Kisses.

God Bless!

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:

Because I knew you:

have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?

And because I knew you:

Because I knew you:

Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.

So evrything is falling into place lately. It's amazing how you can not believe in something for so long...and then you meet someone and your oppinion just totally changes. It just makes me believe even more that evrything happens for a reason.

Today was wonderous! I went shoe shopping with my ma (no luck there) and then Andrew came over. We hung out in my basement and played poker and just talked and stuff. I love being with him! Ahh! Life is grand!

So exciting news of the day!.....I move into my new house this weekend! Yay rah! I am quite stoked. Andrew is coming over on saturday to help us move all of our stuff. I can't wait! My room is beautiful! The whole house is. My family is due for a change.

More big news!....My uncle Sal is coming in to town in a couple weeks and I am uber stoked! I cannot wait. He is the coolest person ever, with the most amazing voice. We are having a humongous karaoke party while he is here so I will post details when i have the info.

MORE NEWS!...The loverly miss Wad and I, have decided to hold a halloween party. I have no idea why, but since I am moving I feel the need to do something productive and since my house is much bigger Wad and I have decided and costume party is in order. I have no idea why I am posting this now seeing as halloween is forever away but it is currently on my mind so I decided to write it.

Anyway, I am leaving now! Hugs and Kisses!

God Bless!

So today was a quality day. I had a lot of fun. Andrew came and picked me up at 8 in the morning to head over to Charlie's house. We packed up evrything and then headed to his land which is a little over an hour a way. We stopped for breakfast at sonic. Sam, Andrew, and I jammed to Bob Marley on the way up there. It was fun. When we got to the land it was sooooo much fun! We drove around on the four wheelers for a while. The guys then decided to make a hanging rope which worked really well except for the part where they had to take out like an entire tree out of the bottom of the pond. Yeah, quite interesting! So that was fun then we all drove the gator and played in the wooded area for a while. Highlight of the day would have to be Sam's master rowing techniques used to get us accross the pond. Haha good times! Anyway, Andrew and I headed back to his house got dressed and then went over to his uncles house for a BBQ type thing. It was tres fun! Now I am home! Well there you have it. That was my day. Exciting, huh? I thought so. Hugs and Kisses.

It is really difficult to make the fall play so I am so happy I have this opportunity. I will be playing the role of Elizabeth Sandry. She is like this freaky freaky religious lady who is just...well...freaky. I can't wait to start rehearsal. This is going to be such an amazing experience. Congrats to evryone who made the play. I can't wait to get started. You are all amazing! Wahoo! I am in a grrrreat mood. Hugs and Kisses.

Today was the first day of school! I had so much fun. Chambers and Chorale are amazing. I have a whole bunch of my friends all in 2 classes where we get to do what we love to do. I can not wait to start performing with our choirs. Yesterday we had rehearsal to learn the dance to 'Keepin the Faith' so we can perform it on friday. It looks awesome so far. After rehearsal we all went over to Stephanie's house for a pool party. I took a few pics but Moe and I got there kind of late so some people had left already.

Moe looking ever so hot in David's glasses.

David's confuzzled face.

So, Stephanie's chairs were really wabbily and if someone pushed on them it felt like you were going to fall over as examplified in the beautiful picture with Brad and Moe.

Stephanie

Landon and David with their manly pose.

Me and ma boys\

ummm shall we say exorcist?

Freaky pic of me

Joel!

Moe's first chambers lift.

BLUE STEAL!!!

Me and my Landon.

What a quality way to begin the school year.

God Bless!

So this entry is about Friday, and how it was just glorious! Let's start out with the beginning shall we?! So I got up at 11:00 IN THE AM (yes that's right people in the morning) to get a shot. Not too faboo of a start to the day. So I haven't gotten a shot since I was about 8 years old. Now I am sitting in the office bed health room thingy freaking out when my nurse finally comes in with the shot. Now I am not even going to begin to describe how rude of a nurse I had at the doctor's office because she was a biatch! But to my surprise, the shot didn't even hurt. It was like a little prick. So my dad came and brought the car and I got the keys and got in to drive to the mall,however; when I was driving my arm started killing from the medication in the shot.It is better now though. Anywho, I got to the mall and me and my pa were shopping from 12:00 until 3:00 and then I got home and my ma wanted to take me to Betsey Johnson to look at this dress she found. It is beautiful. Not to mention the PERFECT shoes to go with it. It is a bit pricey, but totally worth it. So I got home and took a little nap when my Dan called me and asked what I was doing. I invited her to have dinner with my family and I, and she accepted. We had all of this macaroni with marinara sauce, tomatoes, ceasar salad, lots of bread, and some portabella stuffed mushrooms. SOOOOOO GOOD! After dinner I went and showed Dan my new house (that I am moving in on September 15th) It is so beautiful!

The picture doesn't even begin to do it justice. There is a beautiful garden in the back and we have an amazing deck. In the front we are adding a bunch of flowers to add some color. It is beautiful! I can not wait!

So after we went by the house, I decided since I had my camera with me to go get my pictures developed of baker and craxy for you. That was fun! We had some really cute pics of us together and I got them in black and white so it looks more vintagy for my room. Tres cute! While we were at walgreens, my Andrew called! We explained to him the we were having a pajama party and if he wanted to hang out he would simply have to wear the appropriate attire. He showed up around 9ish and we got in the basement to watch 13 going on 30. Let me tell you, that is a quality movie! We got borred half way through the movie though so we decided to go see Andrew Okenfuss at Coldstone. When they got done eating their ice cream and I was done with my brownie, Dan and I went and played in the sprinklers. It was fun. Then at the end of the night we went back and finished the movie. What a way to end the day! Here are some pics of our night!

Dana lounging on the comfy chair.

Wow! What a hot picture!

Dan takes time from watching tv to take a beautiful picture.

After countless attempts this is the biggest smile we could get from Andrew.

a little kiss for the camera. Making sure to show of the cool blues clues bandaid the nurse gave me.

Dan and andrew stop in the driveway to take a quick photo. Hot eh?

The Ride to Coldstone

Dan got scared a bit because andrew is a bad driver.

He didn't care he was pimpin it out in the mom car.

I just sat in the back and watched them be weird.

We Arrive

Andrew recognized us as soon as we walked through the door.

Dan was really excited to get her ice cream....

and I saw by far the biggest ice cream cone I have ever seen in my life!

We all got bored eating though so we decided to play with our food instead. (Great fun!)

Ahh what a quality day!

God Bless!

Fame Tech Week

Well tech week was somewhat stressful at the beginning. It always is though. We had to be at rehearsal at 1:00 and then had a break at 5:30 for dinner and had to be back at the park at 6:00. It was hectic. But Tuesday was totally the saving grace of the week. We got to rehearsal and we literally ran the opening number and then they were like "So we just got a call that they are shutting off the electricity so you guys have the rest of the afternoon off, be at the park at 6:30." Well a bunch of people were trying to figure out what to do and some of us decided to go swimming. It was soooooooooo fun! Cassie drove Caitlin, Brian, and I over to my house and they all wore my swimsuits. Brian's was especially flattering with the flames arranged in a paisly design. Then we went to Cassie's dad's pool and Vazi met us there along with Tara. We spent most of the time figuring out jobs that Brian would suck at. It was quite fun. Ah! What a quality way to spend the afternoon!

The Show!

So Fame is going just wonderfully! Because we all have bright and dazzling futures! It is amazing! We had the biggest opening night of the season and topped that the next day. It is awesome to see all of those people there. This show has been so much fun to put on. At times it was stressful, but this past week evrything changed. I became even closer to people in the cast it was just glorious! I am so sad to only have one more performance. You guys all have to come see the show. We close tonight. The dancing is incredible and the show is just filled with energy. I hope to see you all there.

My Back

So sad news! Before the show on opening night I was on Vazi because he was holding me and as I got down I slipped and dropped like 4 feet on to the cement and landed on my back! It hurts tres badly. Anyway. I am going to see 42nd street today and I can't wait. Woohoo. I have heard great things. Anywho I must leave now. FAMÈ!!!

So I am home from Baker. I wish I wasn't though. This year was so amazing. I made so many new friendships and got the opportunity the grow in the old. Some times were confusing, but evrything paid off in the end. I felt that this year I grew especially close with my conselor and conseling group. The first day we got to play all of these team work skills. It sounds uber cheesy but it was so much fun and I learned a lot about people who I didn't know anything about. Here are some topic highlights of the week:

~ Suck and Blow

~ Prank calling the mormans

~ Fung Shway at 2 in the morning

~ Nights of beauty

~ Jordan Hough---Hough----Houghton--Houghen----Houghthon

~ Upper ass massages

~ Pedicures with Annie

~ Taylor walking in......

~ "YOU BROKE THE CODE!!!"

~ Steph Le's wedding

~ Open mic in James and Brock's room

~ Scat girl

~ Sharing Session

~ The infamous hair flip

This year was amazing. I feel like I grew so close to so many people. I miss everyone so much. Here are some pics from the week:

Annie had an unexpected picture taken in the midst of decorating our room.

When I got back from TTIP that night I found out that she had made a poster for our room.

..... However, some people's posters for their rooms weren't as inviting.

Later that night I found out that Jessica had a shower curtain so Emma, Steph Le, and I went to bring back some old memories with the shower pictures.

Annie and I were really excited when we found out that Sarah and Jo Ho were our accross the hall mates so we made sure to take plenty of pictures throughout the week.

Annie me and Jo Ho

Sarah bear and Annie Waddle Duck

Me and B-dizzy

Don't you just love metrosexual guys?

Um yeah...I have no idea what is going on in this picture but it makes me laugh.

Cute, eh?

Our Staff

At the end of the week evryone was really sad to leave...

The Cast

I miss you all so much!

"I Know Him So Well"

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back I could have played it differently
Learned a little more before I fell

But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?

Oh so good
Wasn't he fine?
Oh so fine
Isn't it madness?
He can't be mine?

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
More security

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back I could have played it differently

Looking back I could have played it some other way
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
I was just a little careless maybe
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know him well
I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
Oh so good
Wasn't he fine?

Oh so fine
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
Didn't I know how it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me --
More security

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

It took time to understand him
I know him so well.

God Bless!

So....New York was incredible. Wicked was nothing short of life changing. Here are some pictures of our trip.

The Plane Ride There

<---- This is me at 6 in the morning. Lovely heh?

Towards the end of the flight, Vazi's Ears started popping tres badly.

We were tres excited when we were finally ready to land.

Our Arrival

This picture was taken right as we walked out of laguardia airport. Our first New York picture together.

After we dropped our stuff at the hotel we went to get some real New York pizza.

After lunch we headed down to SoHo to do a little shopping a people watching, this is where tay and I found out how hot we both look when pimpin' out the trucker hats.

Later that night Vazi and I got dolled up to see Avenue Q.

.... However we got ready a little early so we hung out in the bar and had a few drinks and appetizers with our parents.

....On the way to Avenue Q

The show was amazing! We waited after by the stage door and got some pictures with the cast. Here are a few....

Now I do have a picture of tay, John, and I but I am waiting to get it from taylor so this will have to do for now.

Day #2

On our second day in NYC, we spent most of our time at the wax museum and walking around. Here are some pics from the waz museum...

The Beatles!

Let's play a game shall we. It's called guess who doesn't fit in with the family!

We ate at Boom for lunch and had the yummiest seafood ravioli plus the coolest waitress ever, Tina!

After a hectic day of shopping we went back to our hotel to get ready to see Caroline or Change.

Mrs. Vazi and Tay took time to pose for a picture before going into the show.

So did my ma and I.

Our Last Day

We are up bright and early and off to get a good start on the day before we go see wicked. We got a lot accomplished such as...

Going to rockafeller Center...

Spending approximatly five minutes in Central Park...

And going to the American Ballet Theatre.

Outside ABT they had all of these obscure sculptures here is me in front of pink balls.

On our way home from wonderful brinch....

we saw this sign! I know! I am saying!

So anyway, after our exciting morning we went back to the hotel and got prettied up for WICKED!!!

This is Vazi and I before the show.

When we got to the theatre we were happy to see a sign at a level that we could take a picture in front of.

After the show we waited by the stage door. We got evryone who came out's autograph but it was too crowded to get actual pictures with them. So here are some of them...

....We couldn't resist.

How could this weekend have been any better you ask? Well on our way waiting for Idina and Kristin, Tai Diggs drove up and got out of his car and was like a foot away from me. My ma got a picture!

......My life is now complete.

The trip was amazing. Fourth of July night we went to South Street Sea Port to watch the fire works over the statue of liberty. It was so fun! I am so thankful for getting to go on this vacation!

God Bless!
