i need a hero!

hello! its the happy weekend! and i had so much fun! friday we didnt have school and i got to sleep in look at some music for theater and i just sat at home and relaxed. it was so nice! and then yesterday, i rehearsed my scene with mike. i love that scene! its so deep and simple at the same time. its really quite poetic! ok i have to explain it now that i have perked your interest ;) so its about these two strangers riding a ferris wheel together. the man, john, is a traveling salesman trying to quit smoking. the woman, dorie, is an eccentric person and rides a ferris wheel once a year to get over her fear of heights. these two people are in their late 20s/early 30s and they're single and even though these people are completely different from each other, they both have this want this need for human contact and a connection with someone. so they get to know each other while they're stuck on this ferris wheel and its really touching and funny and its just a great scene! and i have a great scene partner! our scene's gonna rock in comp!

so yeah! we rehearsed our scene in the early afternoon. then at like 6 jon and bowen picked me and alicia up for theme. we went to noodles & company for dinner, then we went to the dance. we were at the dance for quite a while! i didnt think we'd stay that long..but we were there almost for the whole thing. we stayed til the last song. then we went to walmart and we had a scavenger hunt! it was soo fun!! we ended with a tie..even though me and jon kicked butt..lol! yeah it was sooo much fun!!

and then today is my daddy's birthday! i dont think he'd be entirely happy if i put his age up on blog so..lol! but he and my mom went out friday night and came home saturday afternoon. they seemed to have a lot of fun and dad was really happy for his birthday, so thats all that matters! lol! yeah fun stuff! and now the next big thing is this next weekend we're going to uta! i'll be sure to take pictures and post on facebook and i'll put the best ones on blog. lol! so thanks jon bowen and alicia for a super fun weekend! lots of love!

:/

i havent blogged in a while.. course not much has happened.. although much will! and that'll be my next big blog. but for right now i wait for the great exciting things to happen. and i'm still working on patience..... its hard. :/
but these past few weeks have been good! i was sick for a while though. in fact its really weird. cuz well ok! so the last weekend of the winter break, i got a migraine and such and it wasnt much fun.. oh! side note! that sunday i went and surprised jon from the airport cuz he was in florida the whole 2 weeks and i went with his sister to pick him up and it was so fun to surprise him :D anywho..during that i was ill. and i missed school cuz of the migraine and such. and then i had this weird freak thing happen..my ear was plugged up for 2-3 days and it just unplugged itself over night and it was weird. and then i was really weak and such and then i woke up one day and my eyes were puffy! like really puffy it was weird! and my throat was a little swollen too.. so i went to the doctor. the doctor didnt even know what was up with my puffy eyes! weird..but he said that i probably had either strep throat or mono.. the whole mono thing would not have been cool.. and he took a strep test and it was negative but he gave me drugs for strep anyway and i started taking them and i didnt even use all of them before i got better..... so yeah that was just weird!
and then for this past week i've just been hanging out.. nothing extreme or exciting. well i've been working for my teacher ati so that i could go to uta cuz it cost 180 and i dont have 180..so we, me and jon cuz he's poor too, were working to pay that off and today is our last day! we've been working for her for about a month now..so thats exciting :) oh and i'm going to the theme dance this weekend, my dad's birthday is sunday, i get to meet jon's dad that lives in dc this weekend, and next week we're going to uta in ogden/weber state where lots of fun alumni go to school and all sorts of super exciting stuff like that! so fun to come! but right now..nottin. :/

we're stupid

its amazing what a little thing like waking up early can do for your mind. for the christmas break i have been sleeping in till 11 or noon every day cuz i prefer to sleep half the day away i guess..makes the break go by faster..but today i decided i'd wake up early so when i get up for 9 o clock church tomorrow and when i go back to school on monday i'm not dying. and even though i only got a few hours of sleep last night, being alone in the quiet living room with the sun coming up letting light slowly come in through the windows, i find myself more alert and my strange and obscure mind is actually functioning and i'm..thinking..weird....i also actually took my vitamins and pills today maybe that has something to do with it too..i dunno.
so anywho, with my mind being more alert, i let my crazy random mind go and i randomly came upon the thought of how dramatic high school is, particularly on the subject of dating. i think i came upon this subject because one, i was looking up a play that i took a monologue out of and my character in the play is a high school student who just wants to be loved, but she's quirky and obsessive compulsive and has strange dreams of being on the stage..so therefore she's single and likes to rant about it. and i also think i came upon this subject because i just learned of some dear friends, a couple of couples, who have split up. and also the semi recent news of me and bryson breaking up and i'm now with jon and the strange differences between the two boys.. and here is my thought on dating in high school: we're stupid. i'm not saying its bad cuz, well, i do it! but i mean we get so caught up in our own little world and we think we're so happy and that nothing will shake us, nothing will stop us, we'll love each other forever and get married and all sorts of unrealistic dreams. i mean how many people out there actually marry their high school sweetheart?? i'll admit, i got caught up in this fantasy too. but you know what?..when he left for college and i was left alone, i felt like i was tied down and i really did feel alone. then that relationship ended and everybody freaked out cuz them and their little high school minds thought we were gonna get married! but when i got out of that relationship, i realized how stupid and how young and naive i was..the both of us are SOO young! and we were stupid. and now i'm with this super sweet guy jon and we actually talked about what will happen when we graduate, and i'm very happy to say, we both agreed to go our seperate ways. we have thought realistically and keeping minds open. he'll be going to the u and i'll be going to suu. and we both were in serious high school relationships and we were stupid and in the end we realized we were stupid! and we're not gonna hope and dream and wish we'll wait for each other and try to have a long distance relationship during our first year at college. i mean thats just stupid! tied down and miserable. but after we both agreed on that, it just makes me love him more.. but i wont let myself get caught up in that serious high school relationship thing again! and i hope that my friends who recently split look back on their relationship and not think bad on the person and the great connection they had, but look back at their serious high school relationship and think..we were stupid..and learn from the experience. and maybe one saturday morning they'll wake up early and with their open and alert mind they'll come upon the same conclusion as i have this morning.
