Layout:
Version 2.0
A Little Something Refreshing
6/22/05-Present
I have wanted a new layout for quite a while...and most of my previous attempts just didn't seem up to par, so I just kinda gave up for a while. Then on the GP forum Breathless was making images and such for people when she made a sig for PBL<3 that had a super cool No Doubt pic on it! I've always loved this photo shoot and I wanted a really bright layout in contrast to the dark one I had last time! I know this was against my layout rule about having full faces and stuff...and I know that most of ya dont like No Doubt...but oh well! Thanks again to Breathless...and here ya have it...A Little Something Refreshing!

My layout won't work!! I had it all almost perfect...and then I put my pictures in...and it ruined everything! I'm so so so so sorry! I gotta start all over from scratch and such...so no new layout...
No layout yet! Sorry! But here's a little vent for ya!
Because of Hayes' little stunt last night...I could not find/print out everything that I need for this layout(which I had hoped to complete by 12ish today.) Soo...I'm finding everything that I need right now. I have everything printed and if I work fast enough I just might be able to make a 2pm deadline...hopefully! But here's a lil vent that I wrote last night after everything with Hayes...I read it to my mom(cleaned it up of course) and she said that I should post it. So here ya go!
The following is a once-in-a-lifetime entry. That's right....a vent. If you would like to keep the image of me as a happy-go-lucky person(which...ya know I still am...except for last night when I was messed with like this) I suggest you leave or not read this entry!
As some may know, last night Hayes told me that he had overdosed on Advil. Of course, I was freaking out, but remained as calm as possible. I tried to tell him to tell someone else about it because I didn't know that much about him(ie-address, phone #, etc.) At one point, my messenger said "Hayes is typing a message." for nearly half an hour. I spent that half an hour hoping that he was okay and that he had told someone.
Then his 'sister' came online and told me that he was at the hospital getting his stomach pumped. This was quite a relief, so I started to pick apart the situation to find out what was really going on.
In my investigation of sorts, I discovered that he had taken 1/2 a bottle of Advil. Then his 'sister' started to act weird and ask me if i was going out with him or something. When she mentioned Ybbil I was really confused...but it further pushed my suspicions. Then I heard a few stories about him doing this as a joke in the past(knowing that I was talking to him by now...) I got sick of dealing with it, so I said I had to go...and he finally confessed.
Now I didnt flip out cause if I would have, it wouldn't have been pretty. I gave myself plenty of time to cool down before expressing how I felt. Though one could assume that my reaction is quite harsh, you have to understand that I have been nothing but kind to Hayes and that I did not deserve this. So here's my little mini-vent. Cause as my bob(stepdad...i call him my bob cause...long story...maybe i'll post about it later) says, "If you're going to dance with the devil, you have to pay the fiddler"(i never thought one of his little quote things would ever be useful, silly me!)
Hayes' Mistakes
1) Saying that he took 1/2 a bottle of Advil-As the daughter of an EMT, I have a lot of information at my fingertips(books, magazines, my mom's brain, etc.) So when he said that he took 1/2 a bottle of Advil, I instinctively asked my mom if that would kill you. Within about a minute I learned that all it will do is mess up your stomach. I also learned that they don't pump your stomach in a case like that, they make you drink that nasty charcoal stuff. So next time anyone wants to mess with me ona medical aspect, please don't waste my time...but if you must, do some research!!!
2) Talking like himself while he poses as a 12-year-old...and then using 'like' a whole bunch to cover it up-I am a VERY observant person. So I tend to know how people talk and their commonly used expressions. I also have a 12-year-old sister, so I kinda know what 12-year-old girls are like...
3)Doing this in the first place-I have 2 theories as to why he would do this...1-to assist kyle in his "revenge" but that wouldnt make any sense...as hayes hates kyle and 2-to get back at me or something because he digs me and i dont dig him. he needs to learn how to fucking deal with it!
4)After being told that I will most likely get into a whole lotta trouble for this, all he said was "hehe"-As most know, my bob is VERY VERY VERY strict when it comes to computer time. So there's a 99.9% chance that i am/will be grounded for at least a week. Guess what this Wednesday is?? My birthday! So I'll be trapped in my room on my 16th birthday! Thanks Hayes! Hope you're THRILLED!
Things Hayes Did Right
1) Used Suicide-I wouldn't put it past him...
Hmm, that was quite a relief...I feel so much better now!

New Layout On The Way!!!!
I was just sitting in my room listening to the radio when I got this wicked rockin idea for a layout! I wont give out all the details...but it is like the exact opposite of what I have right now. There will be more color...and thats all I really wanna tell ya! I'm feelin like being a tease today!

Yay!! School's over...for the next 3 months...
So yesterday I went and check on as many finals as I could and...
I got a 90 in Adv. Algebra I(yay!!!)
I got a 93 in Orchestra(yay!!!)
I got a 71 in Chemistry I(thats REALLY good for Chem...cause that final sucked!)
I got a 94 in Biology I(yay!!!)
I'm not sure about Minority Studies, Photography I, PE 10, and Honors English 10
After I found out all of that stuff I went to Hammens and we hung out by the pond and talked to babes on Yahoo. And then, mi amor Ginger arrived and we went to the pond again!
Then i had to come home...which kinda sucked...But today i was walkin around town(in my the-day-after-school-is-over tradition) and I saw 2 hot guys and Kellie Raether(yay! she <3's me...but she <3's Phil more...oh well!)
k...well there are stormies on the way so I'm gonna jet!

Lily is sooo cute! I had only be hanging out with her for about a day..but by Sunday night she had so many stories of our "adventures". And Aidan is adorable...he looks so much like Aaron(Hagan...my brother in law...not Schmit!) Geryd filled me in on what all he's doing in his last days of school...and Rira tried to keep me safe from uncle joe(birthday spankings cause he wont see me around my birthday...but he only got me 4 times!)
It was so great to see Jen again! hopefully Kat comes and visits on her way back up to crandon tomorrow(i think...) I'll have to tease her and call her Aunt Hunny...lol. And as always I had a grreat time talking to Crystal!
I have so much to say in response to Kurt and Dan's posts...and I WILL post about it...but not right now. I need to go study for my finals!
ps-Final Schedule(for me)
Today
8-Honors English 10(i think i did ok)
9-Biology I(i'm pretty confident about how i did)
Tomorrow
1-Adv. Algebra I(i'm sure i'll do well on this one)
2-Orchestra(i understand the circle of fifths...i'm good!)
5-Photography I(I'm way way way confident for this one)
Thursday
3-Minority Studies(its just my opinion...easy peasy)
4-Chemistry I(i'm kinda scared...btu i get a whole sheet of paper...so it'll be ok)
7-Gym(no brainer)
Jun 4, 2005
Well...I didnt go to Hammens...which sucked...but at the same time was probably the best thing for me. I got a bunch of sleep(yay!) I'm still kinda in need of more sleep...but I won't complain cause I'm lucky to have gotten the sleep that I did.
Looks like I have to play my viola after church tomorrow...and my mom has her vocal rehearsal thing so I get to sit through that. What fun! But after I get to go see my babes(Ger-Bear, YiYah, Lily, and Aidan!<--nieces and nephews) I can't wait!
Hmm...nothing terribly new besides that...other than my birthday is in 11 days! k...well I'm gonna jet!

"Fred...You Didn't Sign My Principal Thinger"
The title is a quote from me. Last night at the Music Awards Banquet I got all my award-y things(including my music letter, my medals from regional solo and ensemble, and my little certificate thing for being section leader twice this year.) But Fred didnt sign my certificate! I guess its all peachy cause he didnt really sign anyones. I'll get him to sign it on the day of the final!
Anyways...I have quite the weekend/week ahead of me...
Friday- School, after I have to get 2 more music theory units done. Then I'm off to Hammens till around 4:30 when I have to go back to the school to play for graduation. Then its back to Hammens for the rest of the night.
Saturday-Hang at Hammens till who-knows-when. Get home and clean up and whatnot. Probably go out and buy something for Aidan(nephew) and Mariah(niece) cause their birthday party is Sunday. Then maybe(hopefully) I'll go to Kay's(bobs ex) house to see Jen, Aaron, Lily, and Aidan(I havent seen them since Christmas a few years ago)
Sunday-Probably church in the morning. Then its a visit to Sugar Bush for the Birthday party(Rira is 5, Aidan is 1.) Who knows when I'll get home...but I'm sure I'll be exhausted(4 lil kids...ari...ayla...and I'm the one who'll get to watch them all)
Monday-School...and thats about it...well...I'll be preparing for the dreaded...finals. I might have to finish the bio dissection(a rat...we named ours Susie! lol)...but its no big.
Tuesday-Honors English(ick!) and Bio(easy peasy) finals
Wednesday-(not sure about finals from here on out...so this is just a guess) Advanced Algebra I(easy), Orchestra(WAY easy), and Photography(iffy) finals...but its a half day!
Thursday-Minority Studies(easy), Chemistry I(kinda scared of this one!!), and Gym(no-brainer) finals...The last day of school...and ANOTHER half day!
Friday-try to recouperate from the week....maybe go someplace...who knows...
Hmm...nothing really interesting happened today...I dont think anyway. Well..we started the dissection in Bio...but thats no big. And...in English we watched some random clipsof funny(and gross--but tony warned me...i just didnt listen) stuff and we watched a little bit of some episodes of power rangers(the old stuff...oh those were the days...)on tonys laptop...mike dahlie randomly started to tap my nose...it was kinda funny...but a smidge weird at the same time...oh well!
Oh...and about all this drama with Kyle and stuff...I'd like to publicly state that I will not take part in any sort of fight or whatever you wanna call it. I have far too much to be concerned with at the moment to deal with some little conflict like this. However, I am more than willing to discuss what is going on with the involved parties and come to some sort of understanding.
Sorry that sounds so formal...not very GJ-like...but it'll do.

I'm not really into the American Idol scene but I would LOVE to see Bo win. I'm kinda thinkin the odds are against him though.
K...Rick was in the pumpkin costume reading the "To Be Or Not To Be" Soliloquoy for our honors english video thinger(we decided it was a great way to be lazy...wouldnt have to know it word-for-word or anything)...and we had all done something random(except for joe!) I was "grilling" a can of pudding, Trevor was going to jump off of the roof...and then he ran around...and rick was sitting on the toilet. After he finished he kept saying "can the pumpkin flush the toilet?" and kinda strugglin to reach to flush...and he just smashed his head on the marble sink...it was a huge bump...but we watched it on video a whole bunch. and then we had to cover up the "god damn" in there...so we had rick smack up the sink a bit. AND i got to hear some of the new HATS songs...they're sounding good...I'm seriously considering playing bass for them.
k hammen...theres your update!
