Hey All! i realize that i havnt updated in a while and thats because theres still nothing really new for me. i do know that im going to Albion College next year. All this stuff about college has really made me think. i really miss my senior friends from last year. I miss evan, meredith, kate, and jamie especially. I dont see them anymore and its kinda sad knowing that i wont really see my senior friends this year too often when i go off to college.
in other news, hannah got me the movie, Moulin Rouge, for my birthday. i had only seen parts of it before, but now i love it. i really love the music! i guess thats what got me thinking about jamie! (miss you :-() hmmmmmm, what else is new? im going to disney world over easter break which is pretty darn exciting. I really hope i run into peter pan. wow, that sounded quite lame. anyway, yeh kyles family is going too, so thats pretty sweet.
Hopefully, ill see or talk to some of yall soon! Love you all! And happy birthday andrew!

HIJACKING!

It's Hannah. As usual. Amanda's doing pretty well. She has been drained from swim practice, and her knee is really giving her a lot of pain. She had a piano lesson today, but she doesn't know whats going to happen when Mrs. Haury goes to Garden City with Mr. Olsen. Well, maybe she does, but I don't.

Amanda really loves Kyle. Its pretty cute, I'm not gonna lie. But we had this moment at lunch the other day, when I was like "I'm off in Hannah-land" and then Kyle (in a separate conversation) said to Steven, "Is it right here?" and pointed to his hair. So me and Amanda laughed for a really long time and we couldn't breathe. I know, it wasn't actually that funny.

Oh my gosh, Amanda's World Civ teacher is really nutty! See, she's really supposed to teach Home Ec or something like that, but she really just mumbles really fast and confuses everyone.

Well, thats all for now. Hope I succeeded in confusing you!

Yesterday i went to kyle's aunt julie's wedding. It was a blast! I had so much fun at the wedding and the reception. I got to meet a lot of kyle's family which is cool. He's got a lot of aunts and uncles just like i do. I danced a lot which was cool. i probably looked like a loser, but kyle didnt say anything and neither did the rest of his family, haha. it was just awesome

anyway, my sister did my hair which was pretty awesome. here's a shot of it! i had 70 bobby pins in my hair!

and here's one of me and kyle! we match again!

... i love him!

well, im back from Alaska! the trip was amazing!!!!!!!! i want to live in Alaska, or at least go there a couple more times! it was my favorite cruise i have yet been on. im not sure exactly why. i guess that alaska is just so much more interesting than the caribbean in my opinion.

it seems like a lot has changed since ive been gone...
1.kyles got a job
2.steven and lisa are dating :-) (oh i love that!!)
3.powers been going on and off in my house
4.there were some major shark attacks in florida! (i think that stuff is interesting)
5.ive pretty much lost contact with almost all my friends
6.im not in school... which is of course great!
7.and it is hot!!!!

i am somewhat relieved to be back, but its been kinda weird coming back. it seems like ive been gone a really long time! im so glad that i can see kyle now! i love you!

like i said, the trip was great. if any of you guys want to hear more about it and see pictures or just plain want to hang out, leave me a message here or give me a call!

Mon, 20 Jun 2005 04:09:30 GMT

STAR WARS!!!!!!!!

Tue, 17 May 2005 23:15:23 GMT

well, its getting closer and closer! one of the coolest things ill ever do! and although things havnt been going the best lately, ill rise above it... for star wars! i mean, what better of a reason could there be? about 29 hours now until i go to see... Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith!!!!!!!! and today i found out that evan is going to the same midnight showing as me and kyle and his family which is pretty awesome. tomorrow my sister is doing my hair like princess leia on hoth in Empire Strikes Back, but im not sure if ill have it like that for school. Should i? if not, i might leave it in and wear my hair like that on thursday. hmmm... decisions. anyway, the time is nearer and i cant wait!

okay, this is HUGE! officially going to see star wars episode III, 2 times on may 19! 12:01 am and 2:30 pm showing! what a day it will be! then nhs... but star wars!!! yes!!! 9 DAYS!

Tue, 10 May 2005 20:44:24 GMT

So things are going pretty good. i took the AP chem exam today... not so good. and im not allowed to talk about the questions under pain of death haha. it was alright. i got to see my friend summer saad who i havnt seen since middle school and i talked to her for a bit. and the test kinda sucke, but once that was over, yes its over, i went to lunch with my mom, dad, grandma, and katie to mexican fiesta.

so yesterday, me and kyle and the rest of my family watched phantom of the opera. i love that movie. but apparently a lot of people think that the guy who played the phantom wasnt very good. what do ya'll think? i thought he was pretty good, especially not having any previous singing experience.

anyway, dumb dcc tonight. i miss you kyle!

Wed, 04 May 2005 00:41:18 GMT

So Hannah pimped out my journal for me because she rocks, and because she doesn't want to think about Chem or Euro right now. I mean, I keep telling her, "Think of your future, Hannah! Don't blow these tests!" but she just does what she wants...she's off eating choclate, and air guitaring and falling asleep, and here I am, slaving away, calculating equilibrium constants and finding the reducing agent when you add an ion of copper to a solution of magnesium chloride.

actually, thats a lot of bull, because this is hannah. which you may, or may not have guessed. (especially if you looked at the music)

Tue, 03 May 2005 01:42:56 GMT

So, i havnt updated in a while. but first off, today marks exactly 2 months for kyle and i going out! what a great time its been! he is the greatest. im so happy to be with him! :-) i didnt really care what we did today as long as we were together, but it turns out we went to my brother's soccer game. it was fun.. while it lasted. my brother twisted his knee and is actually at the hospital right now. i hope hes ok. we still had a good time with it and all though. but anyway, thanks for such a great 2 months so far kyle!! <3 you!

not to completely change the subject, but this month marks the release date of episode III on may 19! its so exciting. going to 12:01 showing, dont have the tickets yet i think... yikes! but its going to be a highlight of my life, haha. im think im going with kyle, steven, breana, alan, kyle's dad, and maybe his younger brother noah. its going to be so great. but heres a really cool star wars ep. III thing that i think i would want to watch even if i wasnt obsessed with star wars...

CAROL was turning 17, lol. and i got to stand on my chair while they sang their birthday song. it was great, lol.

today was a pretty cool day. we initiated some kids into the german national honor society and we all hung out together and ate schwartzwalderkirchtorte. and hannah and i popped popcorn for everyone. well... mainly just me and her, lol. hannahs so awesome, but she doesnt remember the other day in math when she did this funky thing with her eyes and thought it was the coolest thing to do. anyway, we also watched run lola run. man, thats a good movie. thats all i kept saying during it.

oh man, on saturday, the lincoln park kb toys is having the girl who plays shaak ti sign autographs! and im totally going.

oh! also, this past sunday i went to kyles lake home. it was tons of fun. i went canoeing for the 1st time ever! plus, we saw 2 otters. wow was it awesome! do you know how cute otters are? now i do, lol. by the way, things are going great with me and kyle. i couldnt be happier!

Mon, 04 Apr 2005 02:28:38 GMT

wow... well spring break was pretty cool! on tuesday i got back from my grandmas and got to hang out with my friend mat coston who i really dont get to hang out with that much so that was cool. on wednesday, i got to hang out with the awesome aaron booth (which we really wanted to fly a kite, so he bought me one for my birthday). i also got to spend some time with evan on wednesday! im telling ya'll, kfc parking lot is the new place to hang out! then we showed up at meres house and got to see colleen, jasmine, katie, and mere! it was really cool.

then on thursday i went to ann arbor with hannah and lisa. oh what fun that was. we went to the hands on museum and just hung out around ann arbor for the day. it was awesome tho, we took the train! first train ride ever for me! and we rode in seats that face each other like harry potter lol. oh and some people tried to brainwash us into eating delicious international cuisine! lol. it was so stackin!

on friday...kyle came back!!!! it was so great to see him. he had been gone for a whole week! i didnt know i could miss someone as much as i missed him! so we just hung out and talked on friday. well... and i met his 2 cousins... anyway, then saturday we celebrated our going out for a month thing! (i cant call it anniversary bcuz apparently thats like annual) well, we went and bought a bunch of star wars stuff! it was like a dream come true! lol. oh! then we went out to dinner with my parents and our waiter got kyles order all messed up so kyle was eating while the rest of us were all done. i felt bad... but it was funny! and his food did end up being free, haha.

today was my little family early birthday party which was awesome. i got some kickin stuff. kyle and aaron also came! :-) and hannah stopped by earlier to give me my birthday gift (yey for fun birthday cards!) but if you want to know what i got, just ask. cuz i got a lot of awesomeness on a stick stuff!

the Sith seem to enjoy taking an adjective that starts with "in" and removing the "in" from it to create their titles (insidious = sidious, invader = vader, etc.), I have to think there may be a few Sith we have heard little about somewhere back in the order's history. Perhaps some of them might be:
Darth Surmountable - The first Sith to be killed once the infighting began.
Darth Hospitable - He'd do all kinds of nasty dark side things to you ... after making you feel REALLY at home in his lair.
Darth Seperable - Had a hard time keeping apprentices.
Darth Valuable - Everyone wanted him as their ally.
Darth Advisable - Voted most easy for the other Sith to manipulate.
Darth Genious - Highest Sith IQ.
Darth Sufferable - His company could be tolerated, but that's about all.
Darth Stability - Most coveted for marriage by female Sith.
Darth Credible - The other Sith believed everything he said.

oh man, i just thought that was so funny! but to all you non star wars people, it is quite possible that you think i am one of the weirdest people ever, lol. well, i had a pretty great weekend and a pretty good day today. i went over kyles and hung out with him and steven. we watched starship troopers which was good, but i wasnt expecting quite that much gore! it was fun. then we watched the Star Wars Clone Wars season 3 premiere episode, lol. then i came home and did chem... no really! lol

Sun, 20 Mar 2005 01:38:33 GMT

Sponge dance was so great! kyle and i danced for like the entire dance with only one break. we went to amigos for dinner which was really good bcuz i didnt know that there were still good mexican restaurants left! and we went to big boys after the dance which was just tons of fun. we double dated with breana and alan which was interesting... jk, it was lots of fun!

today, kyle and i hung out with kate and steve and watched episode II. it was pretty awesome. i liked hanging out with them. then we had to try to fit kyles bike in steven's car. oh thats a story in itself.

...kyle is the best guy ever! the more i talk to him and hang out with him, the closer we get. and yesterday was the first real serious thing that we had to go through together and he was so great. thank you so much kyle!

Sun, 13 Mar 2005 01:10:07 GMT

wow...what a great weekend this has been already...theres too much to write, so if anyone cares, they can ask me. like about twister, lol.

anyway, today i went and saw the movie ROBOTS and i liked it a lot. it was funny. but the coolest thing, before the movie, i saw the new STAR WARS EPISODE III preview!! and to make it even better, i saw it with kyle!
...and someone behind us was eating a hot dog, lol

last week is over!

Tue, 01 Mar 2005 01:49:32 GMT

So...this past week was so great! i went on a cruise which in itself was awesome and everything just seemed to go right for me! Itll definitely be easier to ask me about the cruise but here are some highlights...

hanging out with laura, kim, michelle, and christian
ordering room service at 230 am
24 hour buffet!
the food in general!!!!
swimming with the dolphins (obviously)
cave tubing
seeing a pirate ship + pirate booty lol
hip-hop dance class (which i will be performing at sponge along with laura)
emailing
eating pizza on the pool deck
watching movies under the stars

Some of those are self explanatory and some you may have to ask me about! then yesterday, i gave kyle his birthday gift and he really liked it which was pretty awesome. so yesterday was awesome. plus, i finally got to watch clone wars! lol

Mon, 24 Jan 2005 23:42:40 GMT

Yes, it is me! I realize that im never on the computer, sorry. Honestly though, nothing is really new with me. Actually, this past weekend i went to Albion and spent time with katie and her roommates. It was a great time, especially cuz i miss katie a lot. Oh and for anyone who doesnt know, im going on a cruise to the caribbean over mid winter break. Um,26 days i believe. anyway, itll be great. How's everyones new schedule? Mines pretty good. I have C lunch with a lot of people which is cool, but i dont really like having ms. mcdonna at all. the rest of the schedules good. Im rambling so im gonna go!
