Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. - Timothy Leary

Hey, I'm just sayin'.....

Wow, I'm tired! Yesterday Pro Cantorum choir and the RHS orchestra and symphony went to play at the OMEA conference down in Eugene and it was a long day. I went to the first fifteen minutes of my English class first period before heading of to the Arts and Communications building. Hun out for a while waiting to get going and then spent two and a half hours on the bus going to down to Eugene. They gave us an hour for lunch during which a couple other people and myself wandered around the Hilton looking for somewhere to eat. We ended up stopping at a Chevron mini-mart and grabbing some quick snacks. Once we got back it was another two hours until our performance during which we sat around and did nothing. The choir had to warm-up in a back hallway with cooks and hotel employees rushing past every so often. The performance of the Carmina Burana went really well, we put on a good show, (At least I think we did, we'll find out in class on Monday.) but right afterwards we were rushed out of the room and hurried on the buses for another lovely two and half hour ride back to the school. When I got home I was so tired, I did a lot of sitting around. I went to bed around 11:30, but that wasn't the end of the exhaustion for yet. Oh no....

This morning I had to wake up at about 6:00 AM so that I could be at RHS at 7:00 AM to get on yet another bus and head off to District Skills competition for FBLA. I was really tired (partially due to the fact that I woke up at 2:00 AM with a horrible stomach ache and had trouble falling back asleep again) but I still did really well in my events. I did "Introduction to Business" and "Introduction to Business Communications" and got first place in both events. Nathan and Peter did well in their events too, but they can tell you about that themselves.

So, the last two days have been really good (especially in comparison to the events that plagued the begginning of my week) and I'm really hoping to keep up this "happy trend" for a while. I don't like being in a bad mood about "stuff".

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. - Anais Nin

If that is true, this stage is quite the unusual one. I dub it the, "confusing, weird, oh my gosh what is going on?, why is my life so messed up?, sheesh I'm so stressed" stage. It's really weird and occasionally perplexing. grrr.....

ANYWAY! Yeah, I got to visit my old school today and that was fun....except for the part where the sewage pipes got backed up and everything flooded so they had to call the parents of the students to come get their kids. (some of whom didn't get picked up for hours) Meanwhile, no one was allowed to drink the water or use the restroom.

Have you ever experienced that interesting phenomenon where as soon as you are told you can't go to the bathroom, you really have to go right now? It's not pleasant and was a widespread problem at the school today.

I now submit for your approval LNSEMSF. Don't be afraid, be enlightened.

Salsa anyone?

Mean lil fellow, aren't you?

Just Slow Down.....

Where did you go?
I was searching, searching,
on a one way street.
I was hoping, hoping,
for a chance to meet,
I was waiting for the operator on the line.
She's gone so long.
What can I do? Where could she be?
No, no, no, don't know what I'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

(You gotta) slow down, slow down,
sweet talkin' woman, slow down,
you got me running, run, run,
you got me searching.
Hold on, hold on, sweet talkin' Lola,
hold on, it's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I was, working, many days go by.
I was thinking, thinking,
'bout the lonely night,
communications breakdown all around.
She's gone so long. What can I do?
Where could she go? No, no, no,
don't know what I'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

I've been living, living, on a dead end street.
I've been asking, asking, everybody I meet.
Insufficient data coming through.
She's gone so long. What could I do?
Where could she be?
No, no, no, don't know what I'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you. Ohhhhhhh!

I Fear for My Life...

Tomorrow I have to go to a dress rehearsal at school for RHS' performance of the Carmina Burana for the Oregon Music Educators conference next Friday...and we're toast. Today was the first time we've actually "practiced" the piece since.....October. Mr. Brooks is going to personally murder us, or Mrs. Bohart at the very least. We should have been practicing this for months, they've know we were going to do this for a while now, we should've been practicing it all that time! So now we have a performance in a week, and half of the choir doesn't know the words! Grrr....

We are so dead.....

I Always Knew I Was an Angel...


You are one of the few out there whose wings are
truly ANGELIC. Selfless, powerful, and
divine, you are one blessed with a certain
cosmic grace. You are unequalled in
peacefulness, love, and beauty. As a Being of
Light your wings are massive and a soft white
or silver. Countless feathers grace them and
radiate the light within you for all the world
to see. You are a defender, protector, and
caretaker. Comforter of the weak and forgiver
of the wrong, chances are you are taken
advantage of once in awhile, maybe quite often.
But your innocence and wisdom sees the good in
everyone and so this mistreatment does not make
you colder. Merciful to the extreme, you will
try to help misguided souls find themselves and
peace. However not all Angelics allow
themselves to be gotten the better of - the
Seraphim for example will be driven to fighting
for the sake of Justice and protection of those
less powerful. Congratulations - and don't ever
change - the world needs more people like you.
