It’s a weird mix - I’ve had a horrible week, but yesterday was the best day of the year so far. Homework, tests, etc., the boring stuff that people normally complain about. But yesterday was the Regional One-Act Festival. We sort of… got first place. So we’re going onto states in December! I feel really bad though, because Savanna got sick and threw up before we went on; Laura had to take her place. We actually got cheers after we performed. *hysterical giggles* It was a good day for Charlottesville yesterday; our team won the Forensics meet, and Helen got first in her category!!! Yeah! A lot of us went out to Chili’s after the award ceremony, that was fun. Well, that’s my update. Thanksgiving break is next week! Hopefully I’ll post then.

I’m so upset I missed all this awesomeness! But still very, very happy. Good for you.

Oh my goodness, I’m so happy for you guys!!!! I told you that Lorax would make States, you’re fab.

Read my blog for more on 1st placing.

MICHAEL IS MY LOOOVER.

RAWR

hi, Michael!
so yes it is “uh freak” posting a comment on your fabulous blog

honestly my group’s radio show in my opinion was a disaster - i couldn’t get the voice of my charact up to par - and i didn’t like the plot - it was bad - but if the cricket chirping part sounds/sounded cool, then it rocked

so HI. you hate me don’t you? (probably because i am an obnoxious…. and insecure (yes I admit it)… “uh freak”) i’m sorry i pick on you so much! i do love you (in a brotherly sort of way of course) I must say I am VERY proud of you. you have been standing up for yourself this year, which is great.

the headphones for the recording in theater really did make you look like a cartoon. it was cute (arg i hate the word “cute” but it’s the one that fits the best…). you looked like a cuddly (arg… another word I don’t like) monkey.

oh yes. it is freakish how the freshmen are this year. they have LATCHED onto me in a sense. AHHHHHH. well in a way it is good, but in a way i don’t want them to.

okay. this year i have mainly “hung” with “the gang” meaning Miranda, Meetra, Brittany, Savanna, Yarden, Haley, and the like… but oh my i feel like i need a new group of friends. don’t get me wrong. i love these guys, but some of them talk about things that i am so strongly against and that break my heart. arg. i need new people, but i don’t really fit in so hot with the “freshies” (meaning the Peabodies and those who “hang” with the Peabodies). CHS is such a limiting school. i don’t want to go with the preps, jocks, or the ghettos. i just want some good moral friends who don’t talk about sex and perverted things. i want a group that can be serious yet fun and crazy in a controlled sort of way, that i can trust, etc. i just not on the same page as my friends at CHS. it is so frustrating sometimes.

ok i’ll stop ranting

Dear Michael,

You are now my Cuddly Monkey whenever Sarah is around. Hopefully it will bother her as much as the hair thing bothers Maria.

Deah Sarah,

Freshies = Peabodies? Are you talking about last year’s freshies, or is freshies an eternal title?

I assume you’re talking mainly about Savanna in terms of the sex and talking about things you’re uncomfortable with. The truth is, darling, that not everyone else is as moral as you nowadays (hate that word). We all have to learn how to deal with things that we aren’t comfortable with. You probably have a more difficult time with that than most, just because so many people aren’t being as responsible as they should be.

Try not to worry about them. They’re good people really, as I’m sure you know. Also, I don’t think they really mean a lot of what they say; they do like to talk about it, though. I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time, I hope it gets better.
