Hi. Sorry it's been so long. I'm just busy working and haven't felt like writing. Christmas was good for me. I really enjoyed the time with my family. Today i went shopping with my mom and got a few things. I'm thrilled!

I don't have much for plans tonight. Going to hang out with Diana and Tim for a bit, but then i might head over to Kloempkens to hang out with Steve, Ione, Mandie, Kristine, and MIssy....no Heidi though, she's in the cities. booo. But it will be fun just the same. So yeah..still not a lot to say, but I hope you all have a very very Happy New Year! I'm off....See ya all! Be good tonight!

i'm pooped!
christmas was good. got some fancy things and such....it was a good time. I got to bond with my cousins...got kisses from Jensen, hugs from grant, a bruised lip from Sam, A few good laughs from Alex, uno from Brianna, and nothing but love from brice and gavin. hahahahaha

Anyway...i worked today and for the most part i only had to deal with one rude customer..and i pretty much ignored her. So it wasn't bad...the mean people started after i got off work. That was kinda nice. i didn't have to deal with them. so yeah...i think i'm going to take a nap now. I'm pretty tired and my feet really hurt. sooo i'll update ya'll later. Hope christmas was good to you!

So tomorrow is Christmas!! I'm excited!! I think that Pooky is probably going to come wake me up in the morning...he is udually the one who gets up before me...least now days. Last time he woke me up at 8 am...when it was me who used to get up at 6:30 to see if santa came yet. Well let me tell you..this girl can wait to see if Santa has come. Well...Have a Merry Merry Christmas! WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!

I have really itchy skin. I want to scratch it all off. But i can't. Oh..and for those of you who are concerned about my car eating my head...it left its mark. I have a gigantic bruise on my noodle that hurts like "you know what." Stupid car...how could you? Mom read my last update and laughed her head off. How nice of her. I almost DIED and she's laughing because my car tried to eat my head. Nice. Thank you mom. COAL for you. anyway..bedtime. i have to slave over the laundry tomorrow before i go to work. Cinderella they call me. where are my mice? Least she had mice to help her. Oh well..i don't want to clean up mice turds..it's better this way.

Ow. The trunk of my car just tried to eat my head...Only it missed and cracked me right above my left eye...only it was on the top of my head. It hurts. I have a big bump. I need to go sleep it off. Ouchie. Boo to cars.

I"M HOOOOOOOOOME! Finally done with the semester and time to just relax and spend time with nan and butt and biddy! i am sooooo excited! Nap time i think...i was stressed out from all that darn driving...nap will be good. Ok...see you all soon...christmas is on Saturday! HOLY BALLS! ok..bye now.

well...tomorrow is sunday, which means i don't have a final. Yes everyone...i have finals on Saturdays. I'm sorry if that disturbs you, but it's just how things work here. So...tomorrow i am devoting my day to sleeping late and working on History of Theatre aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall day. it's going to be a good day! In the mean time i need to crawl into bed. Oh sick...my roommate's boyfriend is staying over and when he stirs in his sleep he makes the sickest noises with his mouth. I'm about to vomit here. He does that "my mouth tastes bad" noise and then grinds his teeth. ew ew ew ew eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. ok..bed time. sleep as long as i want to. This is the life!

Last night i went caroling to some of my professors' houses with a bunch of my friends. It was a great time. We went to the dean of the theatre department's house...and then to the chair of the theatre department's house. it was so much fun..we hit up a bunch of people.

Tonight i worked on my homework and i'm done writing papers for classes now for the semester! I also now have 17 credits for next semester! That makes me happy!!! tomorrow is study day and i'm going to go to rochester and shop for christmas things. I don't have anything to study for and i'll be home by like 6 or 7 so i can get some studying done tomorrow night. No big. Yeah!! Well, i'm off to go watch the stars! It's a beautiful night out!

i went christmas caroling tonight. it was a lot of fun. We sang to the dean of the theatre departement, the chair of the theatre department, and a few other people...it was a lot of fun. I almost didn't go, but seeing all of them smile made it worth it. Anyway...time for me to sleep. I have a lot of homework due tomorrow. ick!

Night!

Well, today is my last day of classes for the semester. YaY! I'm really ready to be done with school for the semester...i need my christmas break. I need to go home and wake up in my own room in my own bed, warm and cozy..Biddy at my feet and mom and dad downstairs doin their thing. I can't wait. This break will be good. I will get to work and see Nan. I am sooooo Cited!!! Anyway, i better go get ready for my next class. This one got done early, and so i've had like 45 min to blow. Off i go to my next class. Blah. Have a great Tuesday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY BUTT!!!! YOU'RE 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yaaaaaaay!

I had a choir concert last night. I hadn't told my parents about it until 10pm the night before..oops, but they came and supported me. That was wonderful of them! Thank you mom and dad...i really appreciate you being there. I love you both very much.

I have a day full of homework ahead of me. boooo, but that's what i get for not doing it this weekend. Oh well. Papers are dumb, but they must be done. i must be going now. just thought i would update because i fear i'll be getting family complaints if i don't. so here you go. Not much in the life of megan...that i can write about anyway...somethings have to be kept secret for the time being...but i will tell you about them when the time comes. Muhahahahahaha

I saw a car accident today. How scary! I knew the kids that were in it...it was in front of the theatre and the one kid who hit the other was going about 20mph. The kid that was hit went up against the fire hydrant and then straight through the baseball fence. It was really scary. His car is like totally ruined. If he had been trying to turn just a little bit later the other kid would have t-boned him right in the driver's side. but instead he hit the driver's side passanger door. so it just missed Wesley. Wow was Wes shook up. It was really scary. I had to give witness testimony. Hahaha..i didn't really say much, but i saw the whole thing happen, so they made me stick around. No one else really was out there to see it happen. So yeah..that was an interesting twist to my day! Anyway, i better be going. need to check winona movie times. See ya'll.

Just in case you all were wondering...I STRESS EAT! i can't help it anymore. I just have given in today. I worked out and i plan on doing it all again tomorrow, but i have allowed myself to stress eat. I had my directing scene tonight and it went alright. I had to direct a scene from a play and it was performed tonight. EEP! I hope i did alright with it all. I'm soooo nervous. Whatever..it's done.

Anyway, I need to finish this analysis on my classmate's scene. sooooo..night all.

I've said it before...but i'll say it again.

"i get by with a little help from my friends."

Thank you Justin.


break is almost here and i can't wait. stress to the max.


May you rest in peace my sweet little pup. You will be missed. Take care of the others you'll find there. We think of you all each and every day.

Tonight was an amazing night. I'm really glad i was there...Thank you.

The snow IS beautiful...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE'S 21!!! YIPPEE!!!!

had a lunch date with aaron today! that was a good time! he asked if i wanted to go to lunch with him, so we hit up the hyvee deli...we ate chinese food. It was goot. But yeah. I gotta do some homework and then go practice my song...so i'll catch ya all later! Happy B-day Brandon!!!

Well..half done with the darn paper i have to write and hand in by three today. It's just not easy for me to take on the persona of a religiously based terrorist. I'm sorry but i really don't want to hurt anyone. So this has been a difficult task, but alas i have figured out a plan. Now all i must do is write the rebuttal. Someone, like myself, trying to convince my alter ego (the terrorist) not to go through with this act. D-U-M DUM. This is a stupid assignment and i don't want to do it because it is so dumb. It just makes me want to barf. AND i've come to learn that i didn't have to take this class because going to London would have covered it. SOOOOO..no one told me that. Thanks guys. Thanks a lot. boooo. Back to the paper. Ciao

Well, today is December 1st and some of us might remember today because of a certain saying that was said on this day a year ago..."Hey AJ, Can today be the day?" Of course when i said it a year ago i was on cloud nine. Today, i'm hangin in there. I guess time brings changes..whether they be good or bad, they must be accepted. And so..today i am accepting my current position and gettin on with it. In time things will change again..and it could be good, or it could be bad. But for now, i've decided not to dwell on time. I can't tell what might happen next..so i think i'll let it be a surprise for me. What other choice do i have? Accept and move on. So...as was said yesterday..a new page is turning..and i really am excited to see what's written on the other side. I hope it's juicy! Happy December eveyone...Brandon, you'll be 21 on Sunday...Heidi, you'll be 21 on saturday the 11th. I can't wait for both of you! yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

A new page is turning...and i have no objections...there is nothing i can do to make time stop, so life goes on as it does. Let the page fall, I'm curious to see what's on the other side.

i don't understand...I'm back at school and already wish i was at home.

Well, my time here at home is drawing to an end. It makes me sad. I wish i had more time to spend here. I'm just not ready to go back to school. It's just so monotonous there and there is so much drama (NOT caused by me thank you!) I'd rather be home for a while. I get to see Timmy...i get to talk to my friends. It would be great just to school from right here. Why do i have to go live in a dorm? Why do i have to deal with rediculous people? Is it fair for me to say that i'm ready to be done with college. I want a real job, i want a real life where i struggle to make ends meet. I want to live in an appartment by myself. I want to just be done with school and the dumb dramas that go along with it, and just have my own life. A real life that isn't sugar coated. Something that i can mold...a raw life that i can make my own. It's a complex thought of mine, but basically i just wish i was done with college and schooling. I want to be an adult now. I'm beyond ready! SO that's my take.

Now onto dumb things like homework. What a drag. Guess i better procrastinate and fine my cats...they're outside. Brrrr. Cold Kitty Paws!

IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!


Biddy and Isabelle woke me up and won't let me sleep, so now i'm sitting in the living room with them while they watch the snow fall. it's addorable! I love my cats. I think i'll have some toast. As long as i'm awake i might as well eat something. Enjoy the snow people! It'll be pretty for like a month. (then it will need to leave) tah!

So far..this in life are good. I have no complaints from the past few days. Cept maybe to say that i'm really tired and i'm going to go to bed. Good night all! Sleep well! Have a great weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Eat Turkey! mmm.

Oh my Gosh...i have so many things due right before break i could puke! Do you all realize that i just smashed my finger in the bathroom door. OUCH...today is going to be a looooong day. Very long day. UGH! I hope you survive it.

Kelly was here!!! I had so much fun with her. We went to a bar to watch a band play. I'm friends with the guys in the band..and since i am 21 i got into the bar and she was on the "safe list" so we went to watch them..don't worry Dad, i didn't drink at the bar...no drinking. BUT kelly was getting hit on HARD CORE by these two really ugly guys. It's the hair...she has fire red curly hair. soooo pretty, but yeah they wouldn't leave her alone and we ended up having to leave afer an hour and a half. Then we went over to my friend Liam's and hung out for a while. We stayed there until..oh 1:00ish. The we came back and ate a lot of junk food and went to bed. It was soooo much fun. We made an excursion downtown Winona today. we were trying to find the backery..which after 45min we found and then turns out it is closed on Sundays. WHO DOES THAT? so yeah. I must confine myself to my homework now. I have a lot to do. AND i have plans for the evening...so i better get crackin. I miss you all and can't wait to come home for Turkey Day! Even though it's going to be the weirdest Turkey day i've ever had. WHAT ABOUT THE LEFSE?? Anyway...i must run. I will update again...when i feel like it. MUAHAHAHAHAHA

Well...i've been MIA for a bit...but i've been keeping busy and staying happy! So no worries there. I have great friends who make me so happy just by being a part of my day. I love all of them! Today i was trying to do my homework and Justin came out with his guitar and tried to learn one of my favorite songs...and i was singing along. and i got nothing done. THEN i went to get my music for my Cabaret audition in January and He played the Piano while i sang and we drew a small crowd! The hall director came out a couple of times to see who was making all the beautiful music..and then a couple girls who actually live in the room right below me came out and were like "oh my gosh...you guys, that was awesome. You sound so good. Very nice" and so on. it was nice to hear. I belted it! And it felt DARN GOOD! So eat that...haha. I'm really tired...it is 2:15am and i am just not ready to sleep yet. But i am exhausted. whatev. I need to do something productive if i'm going to be awake. sooooo..good night all!

Go here and check it out!! It's my brother's first project at Target completely done by him! It rocks my world!! Nice Job Pook!

I've been busy busy busy tonight. I got my focus story done for reporting and i took care of Justin all night. He's not feeling well, so i took him to the store and bought him popsicles and i've been checking in on him every so often. What a great friend i am. I feel i kinda owe him though..he's been a great friend this past week.

All of my friends have been great this past week. APRIL MICHELLE JOHNSON just called me a "DUNCE" who says that? How rude. i take that back about ALL my friends...hahaha muhahahahahahahaha. Oh boy. I need to read a play for class, but i thought i would just let you all know that i had a pretty productive night and i'm hanging in there.

ps. KELLY MICHELE JENQUINE IS COMING TO VISIT ME ON SATURDAY THE 20TH OF NOVEMBER!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT! A SLEEP OVER WITH MY OLD ROOMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! KELLY...YOU SMELL LIKE FISH!

Thank you Mommy, for coming and spending the afternoon with me. I'm really really glad i got to spend that time with you. It was so good to see you and i had a lot of fun. I miss you so much...thank you again!

i'm gonna stick to the plan i have with you...because that's what you do when you care about someone. you stick to the plan.

I find it hard, hard to let go
And you are entitled to know
You have brought nothing else but bliss
A great deal of frustration
Voluntary occupation
Driving me insane and off the wall

And we were free to choose each other
Now it seems like something other
Have you placed me where I stand?
We turned caring, like a mother
Afraid to lose each other
It got us this far
Now problems are:

I have no bags to pack
No suitcase waiting in the hall

I'll get by with a little help from my friends...

"and as far as i can see right now, i want you to be my happy ending."

talking to my momma! i love her.

Yesterday was a busy busy day. I went to a hockey game with aaron and then out to lunch with his roommate and family. Then we went back to his place and i took a nap while aaron watched the Badger's game. (Badgers won...beat Gophers 38-14) Then we went bowling with A bunch of friends and we came back to SMU and went to Blue Angel. It's a kinda talent show put on by the music frat here...it's a musical showcase more or less. And that was a good show...then we came back to Gilmore (my dorm) and watched a movie..which i fell asleep during. so i went to bed. It was a good night. I had fun, but now today i have a lot to do. tons of homework to get done. blah! I best start on that! Bye

I finally have clean sheets and clean clothes. It's good to have a roll of quarters. Hint Hint. Anyway...time for bed. I GET CLEAN SHEETS!!!! Good night everyone! Have a good weekend!

YIPPEE!!!!

I'm tired...it's been a long draining day...but a good day altogether. I got to see my daddy and i got some issues off my chest. So...bless today and may tomorrow be better.

I voted...but i really don't like election day! It makes me nervous and there are so many liberal minded people who go to school here...they all hound me for liking Bush...and i say...keep it to yourselves people. I don't care what you think..so you shouldn't care what i think. There..i said it!

I just want you all to know two things...

1. I am sick of the rain.

2. A certain cousin of mine, namely Brianna, needs to update her page. I'm bored with it.

that is all my friends. that is all.

HEY HEY...I was at jamey's this weekend for a smashing party with my friend Sarah and alllll of jamey's buddies and co workers. It was a blast. We had such a good time at the party. I went as a black cat and my friend Sarah was a fairy. Jamey of course had an awesome costume...and i wish i had the photo program i used to have so that i could show you all pictures, but alas i do not. It was a lot of fun at the party. Sarah and i also went to the Cross Counrty meet yesterday afternnon in the cities at Como park. It was a conference meet and aaron ran very well. I was proud of him..gievn the conditions of the terrain. It was rainy and mooshy, so very hard for him to run in. Anyways....overall the weekend was amazing! I had so much fun! Thanks to all of you who made it awesome!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!

i'm frightened. I just finished an assignment and turned it inn ahead of time. I'm both shocked and amazed....hee hee!! But proud just the same. I'm at aaron's right now...technically i shouldn't be here because it's after midnight, but who cares about the rules. I really can be here if i want to. I'm cool enough. let's be honest!

I have no class tomorrow and i'm pumped! Today was a GREAT day. History of Theatre wasn't bad today. Normally i leave there loathing Brother Tom...but today he asked us to speak our mind about the test we had to take for the mid-term and so we did and we got through to him. It was great. He really just wants us to talk to him about stuff. SO..i shall keep that in mind and remember the next time i get upset..i'll speak my mind! HA! he'll be sorry! Anyway, today was a good class.

Tonight i went to see a play that Bro Tom required us to go to and the whole calss sat by eachother and we were all really upset for being required to go, but it was actually really really good. I'm glad i went. It was a good show and many people told me that the woman in the show reminded them of me. I don't know why...i didn't really think so...but i'll take it!! My i'm trying to rap...so i'm gonna go now. It's hard to be eminem when you're typing!!!! BYE BYEEEE!

NAN GETS A KITTY!!!!!

I got a free SMU CREW shirt tonight! yayayayaya! It's the exacta shirt that Aaron Purmort wants, but i haven't figured out a way to get one for him yet. I'm working on it...however, in the mean time i have one for me....yip yip! Maybe tomorrow i'll buy my new ID. UGH! I hate when things are lost! It bites. Welp...gotta do homework!

Worms stink!

it's just another day looking for paradise.

so i just spend a wonderful night up in the cities with my big brother jamey. we went to the Cake concert and had a blast! then today we bombed around Uptown and i bought some clothes. spent some money and stuff...James took me to see I Heart Huckabees which is a GREAT movie. if you get the chance to see it...SEE IT. it's a wonderful film...Mark Whalberg is great in it..and Jude Law is beautiful. I LOVE THAT MAN....good thing i have a wonderful one right here in Winona with me. (But if i didn't....watch out Jude!) Speaking of Aaron...tonight he let me straighten his hair (Mel helped) and then he let me trim it. Don't worry Mom/Lori...i took no more than a half inch max...you can't even tell. His hair was fried. Not that any of you really care about the condition of Aaron's hair, but this is big for me because i have never cut hair before. I did a good job though. It's all very even and it looks nice. I always have to do things perfectly when it comes to little stuff like this. so it was bound to wind up good. And i figured...even if i did catch a spot and make it too short...it will be curly anyway and no one will notice. Just like when i "highlighted" his hair right?! hehehe...well no fear...i didn't mess up. So there is nothing to worry about. I done good. I'm an insominiac. I don't know how much sleep i'm going ot get tonight...i think i'm going to work on my homework some....i should probably get that stuff out of the way. SO i must turn in for now. But fear not, next weekend i should have some good stories to tell. Stay Tuned....

going to see jamey tonight. gonna see a CAKE concert and go to a WIG party with him...yes, one must wear a wig. FUN! Gotta pack! i'm a busy girl!

i am verklempt. Mark My Words.

dear Jamey and Sean,

if i could have Mika i would have her in a heart beat. no, she will not replace biddy, but she would be a good kitty to have. she is beautiful and i want her so bad...please bring her to me.

Megan.


But to those of you who would like a kitty...there is a beautiful friendly cat who needs a home. She is very lovey and likes to lay at your feet. She is spayed and like to cuddle...she is an indoor cat...you can't let her out! i wish i could show you how pretty she is...she is half himalyan and half siamese....Take her with you..Sean can't have her in his new appartment. Makes me so sad. I want her.

Thank you Thank you to all of you who came to my party on Sunday! It really meant a lot to have you all there. Even the Turkey's showed up for my bash! they thought they'd just gobble through to say hello. hehe. it was cute.

AJ...i tried to update the other day, but it wouldn't let me...so there.

I've had a good relaxing weekend. Aaron came home with me for my party and all my family and friends were there...it was just so good to see everyone who cares about me. I'm so blessed with great people in my life. Thank you again to all of you who came and made my day special! LOVE YOU! and thank you to those of you who couldn't be here, but thought of me on my birthday and sent your happy wishes my way! YIP YIP! Love you guys too! Well have to go to nan's. BYe bye bYEEEEEEEEEE

Hi all, i think my cousin Brianna has some issues. She needs help. Understandable.

I wanted to tell everyone how awesome my boyfriend is....he bought me Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!!!! I"M SO EXCITED! And tomorrow is my Birthday! I'll be 21! An old girl! Anywho...i need to shower...it's time

Well..just finished a midterm...did bad on it. Oh well...i have the rest of the semester to kick this class' butt. and i will! I get to have a party this weekend and i'm really excited about it! YIP YIP! cake and rootbeer and good things. mmmm. I'm soooo sleepy i might take a nap this afternoon. Yes, i think i will. I really don't have a lot to say except that i'm glad Diana isn't dead. I dreamt that she fell down the stairs and broke her neck. I was so concerned..i felt bad for tim, i was lost without her, it was the end of my world as i know it. but she is not dead and i an happy for that!!!!! You musn't die anytime soon Nan, i will be lost without my sister. Just lost!

On that note...i'm going to flee. i need to look some stuff up for my next class. "Lord, please help me to stay awake." RAWR!

Rain Rain, Go Away...Come Again Amaddo.


blah

Well, i just got back from working out. It felt good to go and run my butt off for a while. It was much needed and will continue to be needed as long as i eat "the bird." mmm what a good sandwich. Which by the way i am cutting out of my diet...i just decided that now. Too many calories and carbs...gotta get in and stay in shape for Cabaret in the spring! YES! It is going to be a hard task...i'm lazy, but hopefully i'll stick to my guns. whatev.

Had a good weekend at home. Tonight i get to kinda relax...it'll be nice for a change. I still have to interview some people for a paper i need to write tonight and tomorrow, but everything is going to be alright.

Welp...i get to go home again this weekend for FALL BREAK...and just so those of you who care can know...SATURDAY IS MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting is that?! I know i know..really really exciting. I'm having a kegger on Sunday...a rootbeer kegger with my family and close friends. It's going to rock my face off! YESSS! Ok...i need to jump in the shower...i'm all gross from working out. ick! Talk to y'alls lata!

All i can say is "wow april, wow" Hahahaha...Silly Goose.

I'm in class and i haven't conducted my interviews yet, so i am unable to write my news story for the time being. I need to get those interviews done for next week. I have a draft due. hehe. Whatev...
it's rainy and icky out...and i'm sleepy. I feel like i'm going to keel over. I hope that our room is not being taken over by asian beetles this afternoon. I don't want them sleepin in my bed. ICK! i hate those guys. We have created a bottle of death for the buggers and they will feel my wrath should they be hiding in my bed..or even crawling on my ceiling. I hate them so much. We took a soda bottle and put dish soap in it and filled the rest with water...then when you cath the beetles on the ceiling you trap the and they fall into the bottle of death where they get stuck in the soapy water and DROWN! sounds insensitive and savage, but one must take that approach when dealing with a myriad of asian beetles. they must DIE! alas...it is time for me to go and find something to do. i'm in class, but i have nothing to do..and people are free to go whenever they want..but i have nowhere to go and nothing to do, so i'm just at a loss. I wish i could read my relatives' web pages, but they never update them, so i have nothing new to read. Oh well. I guess they can't all have lovely and exciting lives like i do. on that note..i must go. Later dudes!

SO last night i had a dream that i was getting married. It started out that one person asked me to marry them, and then by the end of the dream i was married to someone else....a guy i know from Stevens Point. HAHAHAHA. Strange, but all i can say is i hope my real wedding is better than that one. It was realy sad...it happened at Grandma Erickson's house...not in a big church. I WANT THE CHURCH! (I love you Gran, but i don't want to get married in your house) Oh and Jackie, Rick, Brianna, Brice, and Gavin didn't even come to the wedding because it was too short notice and they didn't want to come. I know that would never happen. They would come. So....it was a strange dream...i didn't like it. boooo... Ok. time to shower. I need to wash this gross stuff out of my hair. (no i haven't showered since monday before Of Mice and Men...so i still have gunk in my hair from that show!) I'M GROSS!

Well the show is done...and tonight went very well. We took the set apart and now everything is really really done and over. It makes me sooooo sad. For more reasons than one. But i don't want to get into it all. It will make me cry or something. The run was good, SHORT, but good.

On a happier note...April Johnson and I have decided that we are going to have a Village in the New next year and we are going to live together!! I'll be in London for the first semester and so we'll have to find someone who is going to florence in the spring that can take my place...but when i come back i'll get to live with April again! She realized that things aren't going as well as she might have hoped with her current living conditions. (i didn't want to say i told you so, but i knew it wouldn't be easy living with the girls she sees allll the time.) So we talked about it all a lot and now we're going to be roommates again! Only we'll live in the new village! It'll be awesome! I CAN'T WAIT! YAAAAAAAAAAAY! I love you Apes!!

So..in conclusion...the last month has been good. I've devoted much of my time and passion to this play and it turned out wonderfully. Knetl was proud of us all, and that makes me happy. I'll miss working with all those guys. specially him. hahahah! Gotta work on a paper. Good night!

Well..the play was alright today. NOTHING compared to last night. the show was amazing last night and tonight it was ok. I forgot a few lines and Lenny had to cover for me...and he also fell when he was trying to kill me, so we both ended up on the ground. he tripped over the tarp on the floor, and so the death scene wasn't the greatest. I just didn't feel this performance, so i'm really really glad you all came last night...aside from the hemmers and the raulins. but i hope the show was wonderful for you just the same. One more to go...tomorrow night and then it's done. i'm going to be sad when it's over. this has been such an awesome opportunity for me. I'm soooo glad i was given the chance to show them all what i can do. Even if it was Saturday's performance that rocked...it doesn't matter, all the directors came that night anyway. so i showed them what i can do, and they can take it into their hands now. if they like me...GOOD, if not, well then i guess they won't cast me. Whatev. I feel good about what i'm doing right now, so it can only get better from here. Anyway, Thank you again to all of you who came and supported me. I love you all!

THANK YOU THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SEEN AND WILL BE SEEING THE SHOW HERE AT SMU. I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU WHO CAME TO SEE AND SUPPORT ME. I LOVE YOU ALL. IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME TO KNOW THAT YOU CARE...OH AND THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO SENT YOUR PRAYERS AND GOOD THOUGHTS MY WAY. THEY HELPED TONIGHT. THE SHOW WAS PHENOMINAL! I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR COMING TO SUPPORT ME. (AND FOR SENDING SUPPORT MY WAY) MEANS A LOT TO ME!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!

Hi all...welp, tonight was opening night of Of Mice and Men. The show was kind of a disaster altogether, but the second act was good. Oh well...it happens right? That's the beauty of Live Theatre?! I don't suppose it's good when they skip your entrance though. Expecially when it's the scene that defines who your character is. OH well..Tomorrow if George cuts off Curley's Wife again...i'm gonna chop his head like a chicken. So he better watch out. I WILL make my entrance...muhahahaha.

well i have a choir concert tomorrow as well as the show..so i'm going to get to bed. I have a big day tomorrow. I'll let you all know how the show goes...and THANK YOU TO AJ, RICK, BRIE, AND GAV FOR COMING TONIGHT TO SEE THE SHOW!!! I'm sorry it was messed up. I love you all! And i can't wait for the rest of you to come and see. Love you all too! Gotta get some zzzz's....night. HUG

HI all, i know i don't write in there that often, and then get on your cases to write and update...so i'm sorry. BUT, i have been extremely busy with the play. Tonight we have a show for the local high school. Hopefully the small sudience will give us an idea of what to expect TOMORROW when we open the show. I'm real nervous, but things will be fine right?! yeah man. They will. Anywho, i have to go to more class. I'm beat..and trying to kill this cold i've aquired. It is not welcome here. GRRRR.

I've simply got to vent about this. I loathe Brother Tom right now. I have been spending far too much time near him in the past month and i can take it no more. I think if i have to listen to him talk so long that he runs out of breath and has to force the words or hear him say "in terms of what's going on..." one more time i think i might have to pull a zoolander and kill the prime minister of malasia...only this time it will be Br. Tom. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
If that many only knew how absurdly annoying and rediculous he is, i think he would loathe himself as well. I can't take much more of him. I need him to go away and not teach my class anymore. I need him to NOT be the make-up and costume designer for the show..i need him to just go away. I NEED A NAP! time to take a short one. Choir is not going to be pretty...blah. this isn't a good day for brother tom...he's gotta be feelin my wrath. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hey hey...this weekend had been nuts. attemped to play hide and seek in the theatre the other night, but it fell through. So we went exploring and got ourselves scared anyway. it was awesome. Last night a bunch of us went and played kick ball in the dark. that ruled! I had a good time. Then we made brownies and watched Mean Girls. It was a good time. I definately had an awesome weekend. I love my friends here. BUT I MISS YOU ALL WHO AREN'T HERE! :( Oh well...show opens this weekend...friday...i'm skeerd. But it'll be good right? Yes..it will. so anyway...hungry...need food. Later.

Well..it's late again, but hey, i'm going to have all my work done and then drag through tomorrow which is one of my longest days ever. Rehearsal is going better. So that's good, but yeah..it's still not perfect. I wish it were. Tonight we got more direction from Knetl though, so that was good. Anyway, not a whole lot to say seeing as it's 2:30am and i'm beat. So i'll update when i have something exciting to write about. Oh and go to the link from my last post..it's got pics from the dance on it!

i don't have anything to say...i'm tired, very tired and stressed beyond belief, but what can you do? I think i'll take a nap. Go to this web address and check out pictures of my friends and i from the dance....

you might enjoy them. I had a good time. YAAAY!!!

Oh...and on a side note..why don't we just hit her while she's already down. Thank you..I appreciate the way i now feel. You're swell.

rehearsal was terrible tonight...Some people need to jump on the train and have their lines memorized when we're supposed to. How rediculous..we spent the entire night feeding lines to people. I'm just a little peeved that some of us worked really hard all weekend on our lines and when tonight came...yes, we were a little shakey, but we had them for the most part...and then others don't work at all and let the rest of the cast down. I think it's saying something when the director leaves early because the rehearsal is so abysmal. I'm venting, but rightfully so. All i have to say is that someone better get his butt in gear and learn those lines because i refuse to show my family a horrible play. People don't come to plays to watch actors stumble over lines...they come to be taken to another world if only for a few hours. They come to hear the story that the characters have to tell. They want to believe...not be bored to death because a hearty character can't think of his lines. next week is tech week, which means the show needs to be in tip top shape. We don't have time for this. I'm scared.

On a happy note...i had a GREAT weekend. I hung out with my friends friday night. Aaron was in Wisconsin for a Cross Country meet...i made brownies with Brie and Sar. They were yummy. Saturday, i didn't do a whole lot during the day, but Missy helped me work on my lines all afternoon. And good news Miss...I actually remember them! So thank you thank you. I love you lots! Then saturday night after missy helped me with lines i got ready for the dance. I had a BLAST at the dance. It was just soooo so so much fun. I love my friends...Aaron surprised me by showing up to the dance. I had called him and he didn't think he was going because he hurt his ankle and didn't want to be on it all night, so i went without him. Well he went and got all handsome lookin as usual and came to the dance. I didn't dance with him TOO much though because he was with his CC team and i was with my drama dorks. Butu we met in the middle and spent a good chunk of time together. I had a blast though. This weekend has been good despite the rediculous time waste i had tonight. I don't blame Knetl for leaving. I would have too, but they told me i couldn't. (I was on stage for like 5 min all night...and it was a 4 hour rehearsal. nice huh.) Well off to work on my play analysis. There goes my life. BOOOORING! I'll update later...or something.

Guess what guys...I DIED GOOD TONIGHT....the guy who kills me tripped me kinda so i went with it and made my body go limp..and everyone seriously thought i was hurt. The director and the guy who kills me came up to me after the scene and asked if i was ok. "that looked really painful the way you were flopping around up there." well i had to tell them that i was fine..i just let my body go limp and so no harm was done to me. This girl knows what she's doing. So the death scene was convincing tonight...i hope it stays that way. YESSsSSS! I'll keep ya'll posted! Time for sleep. I'm tired. i'm out.

Tonight we did it. We finished blocking the show...now we can have full run throughs of the show. We must be off book by sunday. That means i have a lot of work ahead of me. I've been slacking in my duties...BUT it'll come to me. Don't worry. WE GOT TO HAVE THE DOG TONIGHT!!!! The show calls for a real llive dog..and we got Grendal. (for those of you who are familiar, it's from Beowulf) He's an awesome doggy...so gently and well behaved. Beautiful pup indeed. He's a 10 year old mix of Black lab and Rottweiller (sp) He's so beautiful. We all love him. Perfect for the show. Now all we need is someone to play CROOKS. But that will happen. I'm sure of it. There isn't much time though. We;re almost done with week two..which means only like two more weeks of rehearsal, then the show is up! EEEP! I'm real tired, so i think i'm going to get some sleep. Haven't seen much of my boyfriend in the past few days. Don't know what the deal is there...but i'm sure it will resolve itself and i'll see him soon. I miss him is all. Anyway...Things are great. Poured like you wouldn't believe here. RAIN RAIN RAIN. It was kinda sick. I walked from Yon's hall (choir) back to Gilmore (my dorm) and that is like a 3 min walk..not far at all..and by the time i got into Gil i was soaking wet. it was just rediculous. But i guess we kinda needed the rain. It was a good thing i suppose. Anyway...gotta get to bed. I'm tired. And my abs hurt from working out...note to self: never work out again. KIDDING! Later all! Have a good day!

i'm so bored...i didn't have production hours today...which is when i go down into the costume shop and work on projects for Alice...the costume shop manager...(as of recent i've been working on my own costumes) Sooooo..since Alice isn't here today, i don't have hours to work...and all of my friends are at class...no one is around. What is a girl to do? Hmmm...i think i might go out into the plaza and work on my lines. That seems like a logical idea to me. It's a beautiful day here in Winona...i'm going to go enjoy it. OH and JAMEY...i slept in until 3 on Sunday as well..we must be siblings! Ok...gotta jet. Lates.

Let me please just tell you that tonight was one of the best nights of my life. Thank you for all that you are to me.

Hi all...just got my GARDEN STATE CD today....music is awesome..and i'm in love with it all. The movie, the music, everything. If you haven't yet...you really need to get to that movie. You'll Love it! Not much going down here.

OH...and you can also check out Gran's page and Jackie's page at

Brianna...You're a suck up. This won't get you more presents at Christmas. Oh, and I'm bigger than you!

muhhahahahahahaha

check out brie's page at http://www.brianna14.blogspot.com she'd be happy!

still awake...don't know why...but i'mm going to do crunches now. HAHAHA! working out at 4am. silly stuff.

homework homework homework. HOW BUSY IS THIS GIRL?!?!?! Very very, but it's a good thing. It's keeping me level-headed, but leaving me hungry. Not enough time in the day to make it up to the caf, so i am forced to eat something healthier at the pub or just find something in my room. It's difficult...but i get by. Jamey sent me a wonderful CD and i'm in love with it. It's so wonderful...it's called "details" by Frou Frou. I LOVE IT! you would like it too. Hit it up!

well i have more work to do, so no more break for me. Later...

Tonight my Dade and Mom came to Winona to help me with my computer. I know it seems a silly reason for them to drive all the way here, but i'm their favorite daughter and yes, they love me. So...My daddy cleaned out my computer.."it's just like new" he says...sooooo i don't have an anti-virus program on here anymore and i can't get one to download...so i still can't get all my updates until i have an anti-virus. I WANT TO SHOOT THE PEOPLE WHO SET UP THIS SECURITY SYSTEM FOR THE NETWORK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, i got that off my chest.

I'm really tired, but my roommate and i are bonding...we're listening to sad love songs....*sigh* it's a good thing. hee hee. Boys are trouble sometimes. I guess maybe it's time to go to bed. We're making ourselves sad here. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! hee hee..that's what girls do. They bond by talking and listening to music. It's a good thing. Ok..well enough computer crap for the night. I'm really preoccupied with many different things. The play, the computer, homework, boy, friends, friends' boys, etc etc etc...you name it. SO it's time to put this busy mind to rest. Good night!

no time no time no time....there is just not enough time for me. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I went to Rochester last night with a bunch of my friends. The seven of us went out for pizza and then went to see the movie Garden State. Wow...i can't even explain how powerful that movie is. It really had an overwhelming effect on me. Great Great movie though. Amazing...wow...then after the movie..i was in dire need of ice cream, so we all went to Cold Stone and then out to my house for some F-U-N in the hot tub. We had a blast! It was a really good night. Then this morning i called up aaron and asked him if he was up for making pancakes..and he sure was...so he made me chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. YUM....i had my first Mice and Men rehearsal today. It's going to be an awesome show. It's a drama, but Brian Knetle is directing it, and so it will be amazing. And as the only female in the cast i will become even less lady like than i already am! It's going to be great! Anyway, i gotta do homework and get my lines prepared. Later!

So to all of you who are dying to know...the cast lists are going up today...as far as i know..i have been cast for the role of Curley's Wife in Of Mice and Men. It is the only female role in the entire show and she has a pretty dramatic end to her. SOOOO...i am pumped for this show. Rehearsals begin tomorrow and i am just soooo excited. ten men and me! hahaha...does that mean i'm the mouse? No no no...anyway...yay for me! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend knowing that i am Curley's Wife! hee hee. I'm excited if you haven't guessed! Ok, gotta go. Byeeeee

The call back sheet went up today for the plays this fall and i was on both sheets....so tonight i have auditions again for both Of Mice and Men and The Misanthrope. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Wish me luck ok?! I hope to GOD that i get a speaking part. PLEASE! pray for me those of you who want to...so that i'll get to say something on stage for once...something important. hehe...Ok..love you all and i'll keep you posted!

Well, for starters...i got the chamber singer's roster tonight..and just as i suspected, i am on the alternate list. I didn't make it, but i'm an alternate...which means i can't be in chamber unless someone drops from my section. Oh well...the reason i really wanted to be in it was to go to France in February with my friends. BUT everything happens for a reason right, and so there is a reason for this, but i have yet to figure it out. Oh well..i'm not crushed.

I had auditions for the two plays tonight. Allison will have the call back sheet up tomorrow and i'll find out if i got called back for any of the shows...and if i did i'll have to go back tomorrow night to read for parts. SOOOOOOO, Wish me luck...actually tell me to "break a leg." I'm hoping for the best! I'll know by saturday sometime if i made it into any of the shows or not. sooo i'll keep you all posted.

Well, i'm off to spend some time with Aaron...i don't get to see him much. I'm so busy. He is too, but we make it all work. That's what happens when you care about someone. You make things work. yes....anyway, Ben Folds is making me sentimental...i need to stop writing. Ta ta all!

This is my 400th entry. Isn't that great?! Well...

Today as i was walking to class i saw a Dinosaur back behind the library. It was one of those long necked dinos that eats tree leaves. I said "hello, little feller, well...i guess you aren't little, but hello to you anyway." and he began to cry. "Why are you crying?" i asked him...and before i knew it the dinosaur had begun to charge me. I ran as fast as i could but it was no use. The dinosaur scooped me up onto his head and i promptly slid down his long neck onto his back. He rushed me away to a land that i had never been to before. There were many trees and lots of other dinosaurs. He looked at me with a tear in his eye. "is that your family?" i asked. he nodded. "Do you miss them?" he nodded again. "Well why don't you go back to them? I'm sure this is a much nicer place to live than behind the fitzgerald library." and with that the sadness on the dino's face disappeared and anger emerged. it seemed he didn't want to go back to his family because they disowned him. He shook his body so hard and so fast that i flew off and hit a tree. My body wrapped around it and my feet kicked me in the head. The impact was so hard that i broke my arm and sprained my neck. and THAT my friend, is why i have this neck brace.

interesting.

Oh What fun college is. I just had my first class and it seems as though it will be a lot of work. It was Reporting, which is a writing intensive class that i fear is going to be awesome, but much much work. So i guess, welcome to the many late nights you'll spend doing homework Megan. Welcome. I have a little while before i have another class, so i've got some time to waste. I Went through my monologues for play auditions that are on Thursday...I'm nervous about that. I just want to get called back. EEEP! And later today..around 4:10 to be specific, i have choir auditions. I'm nervous about those, but come what may...If i make chamber, YAY, if not...oh well. Gotta decide what's important here. That's not too important. I would like to, because they're going to FRANCE this winter on tour, but otherwise i don't really care that much. I just hope i can get in. CROSS MY FINGERS!

Well, I'm off..i gotta write some e-mails to some people. Have a great week! PS. internet still not working in my room. That WOMPS!

I'm all moved in! SCHOOL IS SOOOO AWESOME! Gosh i missed it here. I'm so glad to be back. I miss my mom and dad and cats and nan..of course, but i'm soooo pumped to be back at school. The air conditioned rooms are awesome, all my friends are here again and it's just great! Well I'm off to practice my monologues...So Have a great one...and don't forget you can e-mail me too!! I like those!

I don't have internet access yet on my computer...but i will have it later today. No Worries..then i'll be back on IM. yayayayaya!

So, today is the day. I'm moving into SMU. I'm really really excited about this. But there is a feeling of sadness. I'm leaving my mommy and my daddy, and my baby kitties, but i'm going to join my friends and learn. I'm really excited about that! So, i need to eat some waffles...then get ready to go.

Don't you think it's dumb that they aren't letting people check in until after noon today. STUPID! Oh well...anyway, Love you all! MUAH

Heidi's gone now. Missy leaves tomorrow and I...I don't leave until Sunday. I'm dying to go. I have so much anxiety that won't go away until i'm there and finally moved in. So yes. PLEASE make tonight and tomorrow go fast! I need to move in. *sigh* Soon. soon...the anxieties of a college student. bad things they are. *sigh* Time to go pack and what-not.

I don't make rash decisions. I never have. Infact, that's not even an option in my list of decision making techniques. I just can't do it. If someone were to ask me...."will you come on vacation to england for a month with me..we'll leave tomorrow." and i knew that i was not busy for a month, i still would not go. I don't make rash decisions. It's not me.

So in conclusion, don't ask me to go to England with you and then proceed to tell me that we'll leave tomorrow. I won't go. I just won't.

My Aunt Jackie rocks my world. (as do my other aunts, but she is beinf featured today due to the fact that she featured me in her online journal.) She welcomes me into her house and lets me eat her cookie dough. She also gave me a wonderful cuzzin that i love ot hang out with. Of course my Uncle Rick had a hand in that too. Anyway...Auntie jackie has the bird shirt and is going to will it to me many many years from now. But i shall be glad to have it. Anyway...My AJ is awesome and pectacular in many ways. But most of all she's my auntie and i love her. Thanks for being my Dad's sister AJ! WOOOOOO HOOOOO!

I got to play with Brianna today! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...i haven't seen her in soooo long. We finally got to spend some quality cousin time together. I worked my last day at Barnes and Noble for the summer today and then went over to Brie's. We made cookies and colored and watched olympics and talked. It wa s a lot of fun. I miss her. Anyway, i have to get up at 7am to go and watch those terrors. sooooo i'll be off to bed now. Good night!

Today is a beautiful day from the inside...but as i've been told...and as i have experienced this morning...it is chilly. I suppose by now it has warmed up, but i still think it's a little too cold for an August day. Hmmm...

I watched the Men's All-Around Gymnast Competition last night and i almost cried. Paul Hamm is so cute. He screwed up real bad on his vault, but came back and won the competition by .012 of a point. He didn't believe it. I hope you all saw it. When they showed his brother, Morgan, in the crowd...it just was soo addorable. He was so proud! Wish i was a twin. Oh well.

I have to work back in Music tonight at Barnes and Noble...so if you feel like you need to get out of the house, do come visit. I'll welcome your company. Anyway...only 3 more days of work at BN, then i'm almost done. Back to school in about 10 days. ARGH! Maybe i'll move in earlier! We'll see if i can! Gotta go get the mail though. Have a good one! YAR!

I can't understand why the cats don't want to be outside. It just doesn't make any sense to me. BUT i guess they have other agendas. Whatev.

I'm making a pizza for lunch. I didn't really have anything for breakfast because frankly, we're out of milk, so that rules out a lot of things. Like cereal, pancakes, toast...well ok, not toast, but you get the picture. All the things i wanted. like cereal and pancakes. So ya know, i guess and ice cream sandwich will have to do for breakfast. BUT fear not...i went rollerblading, and so i worked off the icky stuff in the sandwich...(least that's what i tell myself) And now, i am waiting patiently for the pizza to be done. I LOVE pizza.

I went to Winona yesterday and while i was there i was attacked by a huge swarm of killer whales. Oh, you thought i was going to say bees, but just you listen here, killer whales. It was frightening. I had to spend the night in the hospital while they tested me for killer whale disease. I don't have it. I managed to get away clean. But after i defeated all the killer whales i was attacked by a giant pile of books. Now that's not cool. The damage cost me a pretty penny, but i suppose i needed to buy the books. One must learn, yes? So then my books, whales and me all went to check out my dorm room. It's going to be a nice little place for me to live. I can't wait! Anyhow....after i checked that out...the whales and my mom and the two stavlo boys and i went to the beach. we soaked up the sun and then came home. It was a good time. Oh...my Pizza is almost done..i must save it from the firey depths of ovendom. TATA!

What a weekend. The STI kids performed on Saturday for their parents and had a blast. I had such an awesome time with all those kids. They were great! I already miss them! After that was over Aaron (who got here on friday!) and i went down to the river and played in the Scumbro river. Umm..we got a little wet. That was fun. We went with mom and dad to the fireworks in kasson...dorky and all that, but we had a good time. Aaron and i laid in the back of dad's truck and rode into town in the freezing wind. Good thing we had blankets!! That was fun as well. THEN on sunday jamey called, he was in rochester for a wedding. and so he decided to come into kasson to go to Daniel's for some breakfast. He called and we met him and his friends there. Then mom and dad took aaron and i to Valleyfair. We had so much fun! We got to see Ed and watch him perform...He's such a good performer, a little over the top, but good. I had a very good weekend, but i'm soooo so tired i can hardly stay awake. It's a hard knock life for me. well, it's all worth it anyway. I must be going, babysitting for the rugrats and i need to make sure they're reading like they should be. UGH!

And i'm off...

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!!! ooooooooo...scary!

It's the last day of Theatre camp for me...The show is tomorrow at 11am. I'm going ot miss it somthing awful. But i'm so glad i got the opportunity to do it. They've asked me to come back again next year! I'm pumped. Well, i must go prepare for the day. Have a good one! I know I will....AARON'S COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamey...I love your new page!

Sleepy Sleepy Sleepy...make that EXHAUSTED!

Christina, i miss you already. boo hoo

Looong day at work. I'm sick and tired of BN. I just want to work at theatre camp for the last three weeks of summer. BUT i guess we can't always get what we want. Anyways, i got some choreography to do...Theatre Camp is waiting for ME! YAYAYAYAYA!!!

Wow, This theatre business is a tough one. Who knew that musical theatre choreography could be so hard to come up with? you'd think it would be simple because the movements have to be simple, but it's hard stuff!! Oh well. I'm almost ready to retire for the night. The kiddies have auditions in the morning They'll be so nervous!

On another note...Congratulations Jamey!!! I'm so proud of you...AGAIN!!!

So, my friend timmy called me today with "A huge favor." he then proceeded to ask me if i would be the head choreographer for his theatre camp that he's directing this summer!!! I did a little job juggling and now i am starting my fourth job for the summer tomorrow!! I will be teaching the kids some basic movement and then a little routine thing. It's gonna be so much fun and i'm going to make some awesome money. PLUS it gets me into my field of study AND it's something that will look awesome on a resume. YES! I'm so excited! SO wish me luck tomorow as i wake up to go to camp and then to Barnes and Noble for a full day of work! It's gonna be a big one! YIP YIP!

I fear it is very very humid outside today. This can do bad things for one's hair. UGH! Time to go get ice cream with Christina! YUM!

So..this is my Ode to you...you know who you are.

You make me happy.
You make me smile.
You make me laugh.
You make me feel special.
You make my life wonderful.
Thank you.

Four to go, then the big change is here. muhahahahaha. *wink*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM AND JENSIE!!!

I wasn't able to make it to the party today because i had to work. No one would cover the day for me. I'm really sore. I did a lot of lifting and things with my arms over my head, and my back muscles are sore. Maybe i'll sit in the hot tub tonight. I don't have anyone around to give me a backrub, so the tub will have to do. Well, Biddy is crying. She wants me to play with her..so i shall. I love Biddy.

as usual i forgot to post this...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA E!!!!!

i went to the beach today with the boys and Nan.  I have a headache right now. I'm thinking it's because i've eaten little to nothing today and i'm going through boyfriend withdrawl. I miss AJ a lot. i don't like living so far away from him. it makes me sad. 

On a happy note though, i get to go to a movie with Diana tonight.  We're going to see the Terminal...the one with Tom Hanks. I hope it's good. I wanted to see The Village, but i guess that doesn't come out until tomorrow, so we're going to go see the terminal tonight. or maybe we'll wait for the village tomorrow..(when i say come out..i mean come to kasson...we're lazy.)
Anyway, nothing much new here. I'm hungry! Later.

I'm having a rotten day. I can't really pin-point why, but it's rotten. I am very very ready to go back to school. It isn't that i can't live with my parents anymore, no. It's not that; it's more or less me needing my friends. I need to live on my own in a place where i am surrounded by people going through the same things as me, having the same anxiety as me, and working towards the same goals as me. Its hard to be home where you're away from all those people that you grew so close to. It's like a spring break that never ends.

Now don't get me wrong. i love my friends that i have here. I love them a lot. But things are different.  They all know what i'm talking about. It's not the same. Kasson/mantorville is boring and in our hearts, though we all love being together, we all have somewhere else we'd rather be living. May it be Iowa or the twin cities or Moorehead, or even Winona, we all long to be there.  So...in conclusion...Summer, i love ya, but you need to hurry up and go. I need to get back to school where my heart can be happy again!  (but just know..if you're one close to me at home..i love you all too...but you understand.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!

sorry i didn't get this up sooner. Been busy. no excuse! I love you.

Ok, so my brother rules.  He has a picture that he took in a nation wide magazine.  It's a photo of the band Devilinside.  You can find it in the Rock and Roll magazine called REVOLVER.  Barnes and Noble carries it and it's on page 40.  I'm proud to have him as my brother! YAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!  PROUD OF YOU POOKS!    

Buy it...Love it.

 

I went to a Minnesota Thunder game with Heidi last night and it was fun fun. (Soccer for those of you who don't know...our soccer team!) They won, one to nothing..goot time.  BUT then after the game we called up my Big brother to see what he was up to and he of course wasn't doing anything too important, so we went to visit him.  We ended up going to Little T's for enchiladas and just talking and hanging out. It was a lot of fun. SO my day off yesterday was well spent making cookies and hanging out with Heidi and James! YIP YIP!  Haven't much else to say...so  i'm out.

HI all.  I'm very very tired. I've been going going going for a whole bunch of days now. I"m kinda ready to be done. ready for a break.  I think i might go lay down for a nap for a bit. An hour or so.  They sent me home early from work today. That was nice. Apparently they didn't need me and 3 other people all standing around at the info desk together, so they thinned the group out by one. I was the lucky one!  (Had been there since 9am though...left at 3, a good 6 hrs)
 
The boys i babysit for brought a kitty down to my house this afternoon. it was the cutest cat ever...they said it was a stray, they had found it up in a tree. so i kept it for a while...hoping maybe to convince a friend to take it, but no luck so mom and i took it back to where they found it and we set it free. We made the boys come too, to help us.  Oh i wish my brother would have been home. I think i would have convinced him ot take the cat.  He says he wouldn't want one right now, but deep sown i know he loves cats and he will have one. Oh yes he will.  He's got Carcass right now, but he needs his OWN kitty. so yeah. anyway.  I'm gonna run upstairs and take a nap i think. i'm tiiiiired.  lates

    this is new.  All of the sudden they've gone and changed my blogger.  I'm not complaining mind you. That would be just silly. BUT it is a little strange.

    Anyways...I worked at BN tonight and we had the author Tami Hoag come in. She talked and did a book signing. it was crazy stuff, the store was sooooo busy. I mean all the people that were there were there for Tami, but still before and after her thing it was mad. Ah...Tomorrow i have to be at the boys' house at 830am and then we're going to spend the day at the Dodge County FREE fair. I hope it will be a good time. If the boys behave...Then from 8 until 1130 i will be working at Barnes and Noble...again. I have no time to do the things i want to do. Oh well, least i'm making money. HEY and good news, My Heidi Butt is home!!!!!  HOORAY FOR HEIDI!  I missed you Butt.  Glad you made it home safe! 

   Anyway, i'm tired; time for bed. Good night.

 

I'm burnt out from today...spent the entire day outside next to the pool in Kasson. I was babysitting for the boys and i got a lot of sun. But i got to see some fun people. Yayayaya! Anywho...i'm out. Time for dinner. mmmmm.

Here's some of the events from the 4th of July! It was a good time.

the annual tracing...





Fun 'N' Stuff...





And the Finale...


He's so cute! tee hee. Have a good night everyone.

May God Bless you Isaac WIlliam. We love you.

Happy Fourth of July everybody. Now I am letting my cousin type whatever she wants in the remaining space.

Whooooooo hoo...giggle, this is way fun. Hi, I'm Brianna, Megan's cuzzin. So, here we are at Gran E's. The highlight thus far of this day of indepence has been the drawing of the carcasses. What? you ask...well, let me explain. Every year, Meggie Lou and myself trace each other as if we are at the scene of a crime with chalk. This year, the coolest part was that Grandpa actually got down on the concrete and let us trace him, also, the introduction of the severed head. No, this is not strange, it's fun!!!!! Also, we've played football, catch, and helped gran find canine droppings. Oh! and the icecream making took place as well. Sam and Jensie are not here, cuz our auntie is due any day now, so we miss them dearly!!!! Also, Jamey!!!! where are you??? Well, I have never written in one of these, I hope I did it justice. Happy 4th to the all of you, many of whom I do not know, but nevertheless....yay, we have a free country, yipyipyip! crackle crackle fireworks fireworks boom bang crackle pop...yay....devil egg sprinkles......ask megan...teehee, bye!!! Oh, I love you cuzzin!!!! You are the best!!! I can't wait for the grand opening of carcassinc. XOXOXOkisshugXOXOXO
Sincerely, Brianna M. Hemmer

SO i get to go see aaron tomorrow. YAAAAAAAAY!!! I hope the drive doesn't take forever. Looking at the time i'm gonna be tired while i drive. I have to be to work at 8:50 tomorrow morning so i should be in bed, but i'm actually talking to my brother...who i've decided eats boogers. Yeah i know it's gross, but you can't stop the kid, he loves em. Booger Eater!

I was oogled at by a 12 year old boy tonight at work. That's wrong. That is a strange and messed up boy...he kept yelling out "I AM SPIDERMAN!" he had headphones on and couldn't hear how loud he was. it was rediculous. But yeah...i hope you never get oogled at by a 12 year old. It's just...well it's just wrong!

Just get through tomorrow, Dear....

Holy Cows...i didn't realize what time it is. I have been playing computer games since like midnight...and now it's 2am. woops. Welp, tomorrow i get to have my hair cut and then i get to go to the chiropracter...it'll be good i think. I hope the hair turns out! It's amost friday too..and that means i get to go see Aaron!!!! I'm a happy happy girl! Welp..i need to go to bed...eh...id on't wanna wake up and be cranky again. Good night!

i didn't know that i was supposed to work today, so naturally i got to work an hour and 15 minutes late. how awesome am i? Well i just wanted you all to know that i am jealous of my brother because he got to see THE DARK CRYSTAL last night on the big screen. It's an awesome movie by Jim Hensen...and everyone should see it at least once in their life. I just also wanted to let Aaron James know that he is to call me as soon as he can. Why? Because i miss him. That's all. Ok...well my dad just made hot dog fries and i think i might need to go vomit...i hate hot dogs and the fact that he just sliced them into "fries" makes me even more ill. Ok...must go. NAN IS HOME...I AM HAPPY!

killing me slowly...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Hi All,

I've been busy babysittin gthe boys down the road. They're keepin me busy and i sure don't need a better form of birth control. I'm in no hurry to have children these days people. All i can say is that when my kids get defiant i will NOT tollerate it. I'm about to crack. However, i think given the weekend and next week vacation, i think i'll be ready to take them on again when the time comes.

I'm off to rochester tonight with Brandon to hang out and maybe eat some food at rochester fest. Should be a good time. Anyway, I got to go carcass hunting with my cousin Brianna on Wednesday. I had a blast, but i got burnt real bad. my skin is sooooooo sensitive still. Anywhooooo...time to go brush my teeth. Brusha-brusha-brusha...

I went carcassing with my cousin today. we had a good time and i am now burnt on my back. Ouch. Oh well, burns will fade, but the tan is here to stay! yessss...gotta go...ta!

Boy was i ever in a foul mood when i left for work today, but as the night went on i lightened up a litte and things got better for me. I had a man compliment me...i won't relate to you what he said, but it made me feel good. it was sudden and unexpected...but it made my night better.

Tomorrow i will be spending my morning with Brianna. I don't care really what she has to say about that, but i will spend my time with her. i think it would be fun to build a fort and watch chick flicks in it. or even fall asleep. it's supposed to rain and that won't be good. we were going to have a beach date and carcass hut all morning, but due to the predicted thunderstorms, i think we may have to settle for a fort. Time will tell and we shall see.

teeth need brushing...good night.

I forgot to post a Happy Father's Day to my father and my Grandfathers...I'm sorry for being a bad (grand)daughter. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY EVERYONE! *hug*

My peeeeeety Nan and Waaaaaynerd!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH...I LIKE IT!!!! thank you thank you...

can anyone see the picture from my last entry, because i sure can't...e-mail me and let me know. Hungee14@yahoo.com

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

it's on now...

ok Pookerella...IT'S ON

but first you have to make my blogger work so i can put pictures up...it's gotta be a fair battle.

So i haven't done anything for the last few days. I'm pretty sure i need the Stavlo boys to come back from camp so that i have something to do. I'm bored. I think i might lay out again today...maybe. I'm thinking about going to the beach with Diana, but then again that probably won't happen. *sigh* i just don't know what to do with myself.

Ya know what's really special? Waking up at 4am to a cat yaking in my room. I got to clean up cat yak annd that wasn't fun. BUT i guess if she doesn't feel well, then she should yak. I'd just prefer it not on my floor. Poor Kitty. Anyway, nothing else to say. Life is uneventful. My cousin is neglecting to return my phone calls. What a poop. Maybe one day she'll do it. Maybe. a girl can dream right?

what a beautiful day. i was in madison this last weekend visiting aaron and i had a blast. it was the best weekend of the summer so far! Anyway, i have to get ready for work. i don't have a lot to say. eh...you know. blah. lates

tired....

i bought an awesome CD tonight. It's by "jem" and it's called "finally woken" i would highly advise you all to check it out. I love it...so yeah...that's FINALLY WOKEN by JEM. and no girls it isn't the jem from the 80's. not her. better.

I have nothing to say.

Boys are being fairly good...(the boys i'm nannying)

Barnes and Noble today for a few hours.

Heidi still gone...me sad.

Aaron's on Friday! YAY!

nothing to say. Lates

i'm hoooooooooome. Gotta babysit at 730am...can't sleep, this isn't good. oh well. I'm home.

Oh Pookey...you make me laugh...ahahahahahahahhahahahaaaaa

ORANGINA: THE DRINK OF CHAMPIONS!

tonight it's the Tony Awards....watch them, i will be down there and maybe on TV...hoooooray!! don;t know what we'll do today though, we'll see!

HARRY POTTER: THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN, IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! I LOVED the movie and LOVED the fact that i was seeing it on a huge screen in New York!!! Wow..i have stories to tell. Amazing movie, Ron is beautiful...Hermione is wonderful...and Harry, well Harry is growing into a handsome young man. ARGH! Why can't i be famous NOW? time for bed. night.

do i have ambition?? No, not today. i don't know when i'm going to get ready for the day, but i suppose it should be soon. Eh...maybe i'll shuffle some cards...i dunno...no plans. la la la la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Went walking around a bit this morning and saw CHARLES GIBSON AND DIANE SAWYER from Good Morning America...We also saw the band Lonestar...Cool huh Nanner?? Then we walked down to the Today Show ans saw the back of REBA McENTIRE'S head...didn't see Matt or Katie though. Oh well. Yesterday we went to Tavern on the Green and when james and i were emerging from our feast, we nearly ran smack dab into RANDY from American Idol!!! How cool is that? I'm sure there were other's there or on their way, but i didn't see anyone else i recognized...only Randy. Sooooo, i guess we're all over the famous people scene. Tonight Jamey and i are going to go to a Yankee's game. (Somehow i feel like i've written all this before...maybe it was in an e-mail?? sorry if i already blogged it!) That will be fun! BUT will it be as fun as seeing The Phantom of the Opera? That show was awesome! Phenominal job done by the actors, the flies and back drops were amazing (flies = things that drop in and fly out...) Scenery was so cool. I LOVED how they set things up to make you feel like you were really on the roof of the theatre or in the basement, or out on the river...it was super cool. Jamey liked it as well. I'm having a blas here in this place. NY is amazing, but i could never live here alone...i've decided...it's too much for me. I'd get lost! Well, i'm tired, back to bed for me. i had my fun this morning...time to snooze a bit. Sunday night is the TONY AWARDS....Jamey and i are going to go and wait outside before the show to see if we can get a look at some of the actors. I'm pumped. A Dream come true...Off to sleep! zzzzzzzzzzz

I'm in New York...YIP YIP!! Today my brother and i walked around all over the place. We saw the Library where Ghostbusters was filmed and we saw the MTV studios and the rockafellor Center area, we went into a bunch of stores. I only bought a CD all day. I'm proud. But now it is time for me to take a nap. I onl;y got 4 and a half hours of sleep last night, plus in NY they move you ahead an hour, i'm tired...so i'll catch up with ya'll later. we have random spurts of internet in our room, i don't believe we're supposed to because the woman at the front desk said there isn't wireless access in the rooms, but here i sit, living proof. so i won't complain i guess..free stuff!! YAR! I'm out to sleep for a bit!

so today my boyfriend leaves me, and i leave this town to go to the big matropolis of St. Paul...then tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn i leave for NEW YORK, NEW YORK! By the way, something you all should know; Chocolate is GREAT for breakfast! You should try it. So all of you...Breakfast is chocolate! gotta go..AJ is leaving me. :( bye

I waited and waited and waited...and now he is here!!! AQaron is finally here and i am happy! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY..it's been a month since i've seen him last. that makes me sad! BUT tonight mom and dad are taking Aj and me out to dinner at the japanese place in rochester and then we're going to a movie. so it'll be a good time with the rents. Today has been a lazy afternoon. I'm just not in the mood to do anything. but i do need to go shower...so i'll catch ya'll in the flip. Lates!

this cold...it's killing me. ugh!

"Excuse me, Do you have any Carcass Doccumentaries?" Who would walk into a barnes and noble and ask such a repulsive question??? None other than my beautiful aunt Jackie. She and my fabulous cousin Brianna walked into my place of employment and bothered me for a while. It wasn't a bad bother though, i welcomed it. Then i proceeded to have my snack/lunch with them out in the food court. It was a lovely afternoon i must admit. THEN my friend Mikey came in to see me and i was very very happy that he came in. It has been since last summer that i last saw him. TOO LONG!!! I miss that kid. A lot. He's a great friend of mine and I don't know if i could survive a summer without my Mikey. Hee hee...Today was a good day all things considered, minus the ill/cold factor. So yeah...Jackie, I've updated my page, featured you, and i gave a few extra tid-bits of information. So i hope you're satisfied! hee hee hee...CARCASS!

Oh and just so you all know. I am leaving for New York in ONE WEEK! i'm pumped! YAAAAYAYAYAYAYAYA!

OH and another thing....AJ is coming to visit me this weekend!!! YESSSS! i can not wait! I haven't seen him since the 3rd. It's time. Ok..anyways...gotta go. Love you all...See you and Thanks for stopping to see me those of you that did. You're the greatest!

LOVE YOU! MUAH

I AM GOING TO NEW YORK CITY WITH MY BIG BROTHER!!!! IT'S OFFICIAL!
yes, it is indeed official. I am leaving June 2nd and staying in the wonderful city until the 6th i think. I think we might go see the broadway show Wicked...supposed to be awesome!! but other than that i intend on spending some time and money in the stores. Oh i'm a sucker for clothes! Oh...here's a little side note. I love Biddy. For real i do. Back to it, I'm really truly going to New York City and i can't believe it!!!! WOOOOO HOOOO! Hopefully someday, when my dreams come true, i'll be living out there...or in Hollywood. Whichever will have me. It'll be GRAND!

But yea..The dork is at another game tonight...Looks like they might not win this one, but we'll have to see. Go Wolves. KG make my big bro proud! hahaha. (PS, he thinks you're beautiful!)



dork.

Alright, forst i want to say that Jamey...You're a DORK!!

secondly, i really haven't much to talk about. Nothing exciting or new happens in my life these days. Eh, i'm alright with that though. anyway..nothing new. don't be alarmed. HEE HEE

So, tonight i made homemade pizza with diana, we made food for my family...then we made cookies. So much for the diet my family was on. Turns out we all blew it today, so we decided "Diet starts tomorrow" I like that idea. I'm so sleepy lately. I don't know why. Maybe it is due to the late nights. OH well...

anyway, the other day at work (Barnes and Noble) i was standing behing the counter ringing people up and this woman walks in. She apparently noticed me because after she walked out of the store she turned around and came right back in. She walked up to me and said: "You might think i'm a fool, but i walked in and noticed you standing here and then i went and toured around your store for a while, and i notied you again as i walked out. Suddenly a little bell went off in the back of my head and i thought 'i need to go talk to her' so here i am. i was wondering if you'd like to me a mary kay model for me. blah blah blah..." Well...i was deeply flattered yet, a little weirded out. So she calls me today...and asks if i'd liek to come have a facial tonight and learn some application techniques and such. I told her, "well, i need to check with my mom and see if there is anything planned for this evening, i'll call you back." sooooo...

I called her back around 5pm and here is what i said..."Charity, I'm sorry i didn't call you sooner, but i was kidnapped by some wolves in my back yard. You see i live in the woods and the wolf population is enormous out here. I forgot to have my wolf repellent out and so they got me before i could save myself. They took me to their den where they politely yet, demandingly asked me to be their queen. I agreed, but soon fell hungry. They fetched me a clump of plants and told me to eat, but i needed something more. after they all ate, one by one they fell asleep, i crept away from the den and found my way back home. I just returned and called you as soon as i walked in the door. Sorry for the delay, but due to the horrible smell of Wolf toilet, i will be unable to come in and assit you at your party. Sorry for the trouble." She seemed very understanding and was greatful that i called. Interesting lady!

Well actually, i just told her that mom said we had to go out to dinner with my brother who lives in the cities....we didn't, but she bought it! so yeah. I'm FREEEEEE! welp, time for bed i think. Good night dears! LET ME HAVE A GLASS OF WATER!

HOOT HOOT.....

So, my last day of vacation is today. I begin working tomorrow at the Barnes and Noble. Time goes by so quickly. I tend to enjoy passing my time sleeping in my bed, however, there is so much beauty outside that i regret not having enjoyed. But you can't have that time back, you can only learn from laziness and appreciate the time you do have outside. Whatev...i'm rambling about the weather..and such.

I'm kinda feeling...eh today. I don't know how to explain it. Something is kinda turning inside...i don't quite know what. it's not like an illness...nothing like i feel sick, but my mind is just running overtime. (that might explain the headache?) I really need to talk to Aaron. He always makes me feel better when i don't know what's going on with me. Could be the begining of an anxiety attack..again..oh boy, wouldn't that be fun?! Well at any rate, he at least helps me to forget what i was thinking about and relax a little.
Being that he is 3.5 hours away doesn't make for an easy summer for me. I'm not enjoying this distance between us. I thought i would be fine, i did this one other time too, but it's hard. Very hard. Distance makes the heart grow fonder...right? Well in my case i think it does. And judging by his voice last night on the phone it seems that it may be having the same effect on him, but just because we're growing fonder, doesn't mean anything. I can't be with him. I can't spend time with him, talk with him face to face, see him do those silly faces that make me so mad sometimes. I can't get my daily backrub...now THAT i miss...hee hee. There is so much that i have to wait for until we have time off from work. then i can travel the 3.5 hours to see him...well whatev...enough sappy talk about me missing AJ...none of this will help. Oh well.

hmmm...so work tomorrow. ack. i best be on my way to relaxin...i'm gonna need some sleep pretty soon. good night everyone...sleep sweet.

I just had a terrible dream. I dreamt that i got no credit on my acting final which would put me at a C in the class. I was so upset beacuse first of all Gary (the prof) knew how hard i had worked on it, and secondly, there was absolutly nothing wrong with my presentation...It was supposed to be 2 minutes long, (we had done a final monologue) but supposedly mine wasn't even a minute. i was so angry...but then i wke up, good thing too, because i was about to wreck house. There was no way i was going to let him give me that grade.

I'm just glad it was a dream.

Happy Mother's Day all you moms. You make us proud! I love you Mommy.

I'm hungry...yes i realize it's only quarter after five in the morning, but i need to go get something to put in my tummy. that bad dream burned out all the other stuff i ate. hahaha, or sumpin. welp, back to bed for an attempt at more pleasent dreams.

CONGRATULATIONS JAMEY DEAN!!! YOU DID IT. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. YOUR LITTLE SISTER IS PROUD. WAY TO GO. GO GET 'EM TIGER!!!

I'm home...it's nice. My own bed. My own room. My own friends. (although i miss the ones i shared) No school. No drama. All good times and Lots of sleep! (until school is out for the little kiddies...then it's early mornings and long days full of young boy behavior....oh the Stavlo's.) It's a mixed emotion kinda thing, but i'm glad i get to go back and see all my friends again. I miss you all...AJ...K-I-F-F. hahaha....night everyone! Nan...I love you!

This is it. I'm going in for the kill....two finals left...look out, here i come!

musta needed the sleep...just woke up...YAR

So, only one more day of finals then i'm home free. My dad came and helped me pack up my things today. It's kinda sad to be actually leaving. I mean, this change of location for me, from Stevens Point to SMU has been one of the best decisions i've made in my lifetime..(maybe one of the only decisions i've made in my lifetime) AT any rate, i'm very sad to see my friends go home. I don't want to leave them all. SO many of them live in Iowa or Wisconsin ar up in the Cities...so it's a bit of a trek to get to them...it's going to be difficult to meet up over the summer. A bunch of us went bowling tonight. I got 4 strikes in a row, don't ask me how i did that, because to be honest i don't have any idea. I ended the game with a score of 156 or something like that...it was amazing. I was on fire, but the best part is, i was with my friends, Aaron (aj), Aaron Reihl, Jenny, Lee, Sar (Vi), Shea, Kassie, and one of AJ's friends from back home named Steve. We had a blast. I won the first game...i just can't understand how that happened, but it ruled. And then i stunk up the ally the second game...i was horrible. Oh well, it was worth every second. I had a blast. Anyway, i'm going to get to bed...i need some sleep, these bags under my eyes aren't exactally what one might consider attractive...Welp...Good night my fair readers. I am in good spirits and i tend to end my day the same. OH and i almost forgot to tell you all how wonderful AJ is...he took me on a picnic in the bluffs today. How sweet..he made plans and told me not to do anything around noon...and then we went on a picnic in the bluffs...blanket and everything. it was beautiful. I'm so lucky guys!

First of all i just want to say that i am DONE WITH CLASSES FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR! and that i have the greatest mom ever. thank you for the package you sent me. I really really appreciated it. mmm candy..yay for shower gel and way cute stickers. ALSO i'd like to say that i'm not only getting spoiled by my mother and my boyfriend who bought me gerber daisey's the other day..as you saw below, but also by his family. I received a beautiful red rose from the Raulin's yesterday just because. I talked to Rick (his dad) and asked him what i did to deserve such a beautiful flower and his response was, (and i quote) "Not a damn thing." It was very very sweet...the card said, "To Meg, with love from your other family." How wonderful! I now must tell you all that today is study day and i am about to go over to the theatre and work on a monologue for my Acting Final. Ahhhh...Tata...

here you go, food for thought....

Kitty

Paws that pitter patter
across the
kitchen
floor.
The food dish sits beside
her, empty,
she cries
for more.
Her big, golden eyes
stare into
mine like
never before.
A smile curls across her face
as i open
up the
cupboard door.

Picture From the Past

Tears fall down my face
and they splatter on the frame
a picture from the past
now my life can't be the same
the mourning sun will come, but
they will not be hwere
their memory haunts my mind
like an image in a mirror
they were a pair together and
were seldom seen apart
deep inside, they held a love
that beat within their hearts
i cannot lose the memories or
forget the way they sound
I'll love them always and forever
as they sleep beneath the ground

You're lookin at a published Poet! Muhahahahahahaha!

STRESS.....

finals week...

STRESS.....


BUT, look at the pretty flowers I have gotten this last week from my boyfriend...I think I'll keep him.



Oh oh, and look at the cute kitty.

So at about 11:00pm on Thursday, April 22, 2004...My cousin Brianna and I went on a small jaunt with my friend Allyn, who later became a friend of Brianna's. We ventured out to the great HyVee where we purchased things such as shampoo, toothpaste, snacks, and hair dye. Have no fear my beloved readers, i did not dye my hair, no way would i ever do such a thing. However, i did manage to dye Allyn's hair...Brianna and I frosted the tips...badly, yet it doesn't look bad...well then there was all this hairdye left, so naturally i dyed Grant's chest hair...just a patch. Then we decided it might be cool if we straightened Aaron's hair and then gave him highlights. So Jen straightened his hair while i highlighted. Next we convinced Shea to let me work my magic on his hair. sooooo, she got his three mohawks tipped. It was a lot of fun...I needed the stress reliever and i needed to spend the time with my friends...and family member. It was good...BUT before all of this went down, my dear dear friend Sar(ah) suggested that we go out for chocolate chip pancakes at Perkins. We sort of have a special thing with those types of pancakes and she saw that i was having a bad day and she thought we needed some CC Pancakes. She was right. I love my Sar. I love my friends here too...they have all been so great. The people who truly care that is, i can tell the people who are just hiding behind that fake smile, and i'm not going to waste my time with them. The people that were a part of my life today are the people who really matter in the town. I'm so lucky to have them. Thank you to all of you...you know who you are. I love you and i had a great time!! MUCH NEEDED! Good night

Dear Lord,

Please let this week be over. I'm stressed and i need some time to relax. Let these last 11 days go by quickly and painlessly. I pray for wisdom and courage. I pray for strength and energy. i pary that everything turns out alright in the end. Thank you Lord.

Amen.

Can i just say that puddle splashing is sooooo much fun, but it's even more fun when the RAIN DOESN'T STOP AS YOU WALK OUTSIDE TO PLAY IN IT! Oh well...the concept was still fun...but i am beat...I went all over Winona with my mom and dad today looking for Geo Chaches (sp) I was up on Sugar Loaf (ps..i hate the word LOAF...i can always see Amy Veerkamp saying it and it drives me NUTS) And then like across the whole town looking for treasures, which was fun, but i got beat up by the briars and i was bleeding and sweating and it was hot...i just wasn't the happiest of campers, but i wouldn't be me if i didn't complain about everything! so i think today was successful! I'm soo pooped...do it's off to bed for me, but thanks to mom and dad. I had a great time today...sorry i complained, but as i said before...would it have been me if i didn't? oh and Ma, i think my eye is going to be ok...

Welp..Good night everyone...and Jamey...GOOD LUCK ON YOUR THESIS PRESENTSTION! I'll be there rootin for ya! Go Get 'Em Tiger!

What a beautiful day today. I spent my entire day outside with Dolly Durley. I had a lot of fun actually. I've never hung out with her before, but it was fun. she's a friend of mine, but it's never been just Dolly and me. I had fun. My skin is burn, i can tell that for a fact...which might not be the brightest idea because supposedly i'm not supposed to have long term exposure to the sun being on this medicine i'm on, but heck...you're only young once and i wasn't about to waste an entire day inside worrying about sunburn.

so yeah...school is dwindling down and i only have about a week and a half left...then i'm free!!! it's gonna be good. I'll miss school and the people here, but i need the time away to replenish my bank account and have some down time. ahhhh...summer. Ok, but anyway...I'm back outside...will be fun! Lata

Today is very nice out, but we had one single clap of thunder that scared everyone in winona. It was loud and frightening and it didn't even rain. it was strange. But yeah...i'm sleepy. the sleepyness hit me like a ton of bricks and i can hardly stay awake. AHHHH!

I'm at work right now and i still have a half hour to be here, i'm bored. Woop...looks like my friend Cole wants to play Phrase Frenzy with me. you should try it too (http://www.gsn.com) it's great! Ok..lates

What a gorgeous day outside today! It's absolutly beautiful. Yesterday was gorgeous too, Aaron and i went on a walk in the bluffs. It was so pretty out there. It's fun to see all the kids outside playing and running around. It's a whole different atmosphere here again. People are happy and lively! It's wonderfull...the air smells so sweet, the birds are chirping and it's just amazing outside.

Only 10 classes to go!!!! YEE HAW!

OKOKOK...i'm back at school. Easter was fun, home was fun, but i'm glad to be back! I have classes again starting tomorrow and i only have 12 of them left before finals! eeep! how exciting!

I'm real tired so i'm gonna head to bed...Thanks for everything ma and pa...and it was good to see all my relatives. Good night everyone.

Oreo Cookies, Danny, Oreo Cookies!!!!

i love carbs...i can't stop. they're like a drug...however i must control it. hahaha...GOOD LUCK MEGAN!

so anyway, today is super sunny and beautiful, but don't let the looks deceive you...it's windy out; quite brisk the wind is. interesting. My cats were out all morning and now they are just lying around, sleeping. i feel like sleeping, but i slept all morning. didn't get up until 12:15 or so. I think that going back to bed would be a wast of time for me...i know i could sleep. i'm sure of it, i just know that there is stuff that i can do, like clean the bird poop off from my winshield on my car. Stupid birds..poop somewhere else. I don't appreciate the poo on my freshly cleaned car. i just really don't apreciate it.

Oh and just so you know...Chartreuse is the coolest color for dying easter eggs....i can't believe i get to work with such a splendid color on saturday! yayayaya! Gott go!

Hi all...I haven't much to say today except the weather outside is beautiful! my hair is getting long and i like it a lot. i laid out in the sun today...fell asleep, it was nice. i am sooooooo looking forward to saturday because then i get to see Aaron (AJ) and i miss him. so i'm glad he'll be coming here. I can't wait! hee hee...anyway, this doesn't make sense, so i'm going to be done writing now. i must call diana and see if we're going to a movie or not. so i'll write more later when i have something to say. bye

Oh and PS...i got the solo for the song in choir...another girl and i get to sing it...the other girl isn't the favorite among most students, but the teacher likes her so of course she's in...anyways..just thought i'd let you all know. i got the solo!

Hello! Today was a good day. It seemed to just fly by though what with daylight savings and such. i'm not too sure i enjoy losing an hour of sleep in the night time, but i can get over it.

i got up today and went on a walk at Oxbow park with my mom and dad, then i came back and did nothing for a while, then i cleaned out my entire car. cleaned her real good...and after that i gave her a bath. she's clean as can be right now. I had a lot of ambition tonight...i don't know where it came from, but i got a lot done. i unpacked a bunch of stuff that i brought home from college today too. it was good to have it done, however i'm not done, i just got it started.

yesterday i helped Jamey move into his new place. it's an awesome place and i can't wait to go and stay there with him. it'll be a good good time. BUT, i think i'm gonna go get the fourth Harry Potter book and read it. the phone is busy at AJ's so i need to burn some time before i call him again. Good night everyone. have a great week!
