Perfect Time of Day

If I do this right, this post should be unbelievably long, but I might get tired or forget stuff, so I guess we'll see...

Last post was on the other one on Monday the 25th - that was a long time ago! Well, that Tuesday MeAndLauren (all one word) :D went to the game in Sedalia and had a rad time as always! "Cookies? I WANT COOKIES!" "I'm not drinking that!" Three words: FRITO CHILI PIE!!! And Katie on the phone, "Let me talk to Amy!!!" "Let's do jumping-jacks" "The bathroom has a heater!" Tampering with the sound system, them having the wrong score and the argument conversation, "We do it, too, and everyone thinks we're serious" "That's how we roll"...too much fun! Can't forget the Hanson song!!! And the only reason we stopped playing 8's was cuz you knew I was coming back!!!
Then, Wednesday was weightlifting - don't remember it and had practice, too.
Yes, Thursday was an awesome day! Had to go to the StuCo meeting after school because I'm at the high school in the mornings, so MeAndLauren went to the meeting, Lauren, my moral support, of course. And then we decided that we were gonna go to Shaka's instead of waiting at Simonsen for Mom, cuz that was gonna get boring and she would just pick us up at Shaka's. Went outside and talked to Syd, and then saw Junior and told him our story!!! Talk about stupid, but, dang, it was fun. Didn't go to weightlifting because of the meeting and then the game was afterwards, but it ended up getting cancelled. So we walked to Shaka's and tried on some very, uh, different clothes. I think my mom and Lauren can attest to that one. Very interesting! Then it was time for my tetnus shot. Talk about enjoyable. "Just look at my beautiful face" "I want a band-aid!" "You need to thank her" "For sticking a needle in my arm? I think NOT!!!" And MeAndLauren definitely got the coolest bling-bling on the planet from the doctor's office, no joke! It didn't fit, but that's beside the point! Went to BK and got some very awesome toys - cranium cadoo. We decided that we're gonna collect them all and then figure out how to play.
Friday we left for Springfield after school at 4:30 and Hope, Abbie, Hope's mom and I all went down together. Had some crazy convos, for sure. Got there and then went to Lambert's, then to the hotel, then back to Lambert's because the rest of the team hadn't gotten there the first time. Let me just say, our waiter had to have been one of the hottest guys I have ever come in contact with, no joke!!! "Hope, his teeth are beautiful!" And Tina's sister was all over him...absolutely hilarious! He was one of those guys that makes you say, "Damn!" I think most of the girls came to the conclusion that he was, um, not straight, but I think otherwise. Next time I go to Lambert's, I'm asking for David, without a doubt! Then we went back to the hotel and I didn't have a swimsuit and was really bummed. But Tina's sister came to the rescue! Abbie, Hope, and me got in the pool then went to the hot tub with Tina, Morgan, Brooke, and Erin. Mimi and Jalin showed up and were insane as usual - those girls are awesome! We finally decided to head up to the room and continued with Hope's very entertaining texts. We ended up trying to watch The Exorcist II but it was so jacked up that we just fell asleep. Woke up way too early and had to have a continental breakfast and ended up almost getting lost. Got there and played, not much to say, really. Except for the last game, Jalin and I were just so totally, well, there's not really a word for it! "No, it's more fun this way" "We should just stay here cuz I don't wanna go back over there!" "GOGGLES, LADIES!!!" Jalin is my homegirl! Then, that pretty much ended our season and we went home. The end.
I just decided on Friday that I was going to run for President, and, as you have read, I was gone all Friday night and all of Saturday, so I got absolutely nothing done. Went to Wally-World on Sunday and bought all kinds of stuff. Ended up staying up till 2:30 AM Sunday night trying to get posters done.
Came home after school on Monday and slept 2 hours. Did Geometry and tried to get more campaign stuff done - another very late night.
Tuesday there was nothing going. Came home and worked on more campaign stuff and did homework - another very late night.
Wednesday came home and tried to get some homework done, but that didn't really work, considering I had to eat and then leave to go to our last practice. Hope...the blanket..."It's been real" "Thanks, Big Boy" :D And we learned that our parents really aren't as good at volleyball as they think they are. I think they have a renewed appreciation for the sport and what we do! Fun season...till next year!!!
Thursday MeAndLauren went to weightlifting which Lauren forced me to go to. Oh, yeah, I didn't mention that Wednesday was another very late night! I was not in the best of moods (an understatement) at all. Everything was going wrong, not even kidding, it was horrific beyond belief. So to those of you who dealt with me on Thursday, my sincerest apologies (especially Lauren and Kelsey), but if you have read the above, maybe you get an idea as to why. Left early so MeAndLauren could go to the game. That's what I love about Lauren...we always have a good time, even if I'm having the crappiest day of my life, it is guaranteed that if we're partners-in-crime, it will always get better. And it did. "Where's the frickin jug at?" I'm only gonna say...black underarmour!! "What are those things for?" "I need your jumping skills" "It's the wind, we can't do anything about it" "It's cuz God hates me" "God does hate you" "WHY?!?" "Run!" "Check out that skill, they need me" "Twice!" And Sam and the rope thing! "Why don't you ever answer us? We really do ask good questions! Maybe you should use this, it's good material. I think if you listened, you'd find it very interesting" "Geometry is STUPID!" "I got some talent carrying all this" And, can't forget, "Weightlifting and then Coke and Pringles?" "That's how we roll!" "I just feel like taking the lid off" That was awesome!
And we arrive at today! This is truly the most relieved I have ever felt in my entire life. Just that election week is over. Some people are nervous now because we don't know the results, but that's not seeming to phase me. I'm just so glad that everything's done and worked out halfway decent. It all started when Peter brought the bike up to the 2nd floor, then had to take it back down to the 1st floor for the skit. When he got it back down to the 1st floor, apparently, he was riding it around the hall and skidding and Mrs. Muenks caught him and told him he was out of the skit. Hope saw it and told me, thank God. I talked to Muenks about it and worked my magic...Peter was back in the skit. Talk about a few seconds of sheer panic, though, not good at all. So, things worked out in the end, I suppose, and no one even remembers what anyone did now anyway, so it's all good.

Here's my editorial and opinion on things: First of all, I love Phil. He is one of the awesomest kids I know. I had never met him before the dress rehersal, and I was mad that the other candidates were treating everyone (including me) really bad. Then I talked to Phil and I was thinking, "If anyone deserves to win, it's him, because he doesn't even know me and we're each other's 'competition' and he's so sweet to me!" So, even if people think he "can't get the job done", I still think he deserves it if he wins, because he is so down to earth and just awesome. If Phil wins, more power to him - he is such great guy and I think all the hype about him was totally deserved.
Piece of advice: if you want to run for an office, plan it out ahead of time. Definitely more than deciding the day the petition has to be turned in...it will make life A LOT easier!
People often say things without thinking, and I am no exception. More and more, I am finding faults with myself, but maybe that makes me appreciate the good qualities more, who knows? I just need to learn to think before I speak...everyone can always improve on that point. Maybe I should become a Monk. ;)
I am thankful for all the people that helped me. Especially my mom, who pretty much did just about everything. And, of course, everyone that helped me pass stuff out, promoted me to their friends, and kept me in a good mood, even though it seemed impossible (that's you L.O. - you're my girl!) And Peter was an awesome campaign manager, especially risking a few days ISS for some of the stuff he did, but the 'danger factor' makes it all the more fun...knowing you can get in trouble, but can weasel your way out of it - he's definitely talented at that. I could not have had anything without everyone's help, and as far as the election results go, well, what happens, happens. I gave it my best shot with one-day notice, did the best I could, and that's all anyone could expect/ask for.
Geometry is, without a doubt, the worst subject in the entire world. There is absoulutely NO point to it AT ALL!!! Stupid Geometric means and volumes and surface areas of pyramids and cones!!! Absolutely pointless!!!
To end on a good note, I'm sleeping in tomorrow and plan to take full advantage of it. And then be a bum all day tomorrow. I think I've deserved it, don't you?
Till next time...


It's the perfect time of day
It's the last day of your life
Don't let it drift away
While your heart is still racing
It's the perfect time of day

Close your eyes and take your last breath
Press your head aside
The end is the beginning
Everyone between is so lost, so lost

Let your colors collide
The time is so fleeting
I quit running behind
Oh, I know your meaning
You look for
For what you want to say
And you look for
The perfect time of day

It's the perfect time of day
Come on now
It's the perfect time of day
