Changing info.
My new LJ screen name is irises_glitter.
I dunno why. This journal will remain active, though. I like to keep track of my past. Heh.
Add me! Do it, do it now!

[Link] | I am absolutely, positively dead.
That sub in Bel Canto today had some neat ideas, but she doesn't know how to speak French. I didn't want to be a snot and say something to embarrass her. But grr. Ladies, she messed up on telling us how to pronounce that last phrase. See Megan or me or Ariel or Abby on Monday and we'll tell you how to really pronounce it.
After school, Meghan and I went thrifting for the Big Band Dance tomorrow night. I saw some really cute dresses, but most of them didn't fit... so I settled for this purple plaid sundress [which is a lot cuter than it sounds], some funky clip-on earrings, and a bracelet. I like it, and I'll probably end up wearing it to school some warm day. It goes with my button flip-flops perfectly. <3
I think a nice long bath and Return of the Jedi will do the trick for tonight.

[Link] | Today's forecast: partially cloudy. Sunbreaks here and there. Particularly when compliments were received, or people cracked jokes. The fog started rolling in when geometry books were opened. Rain in the form of a long shower.
I'm such a dope.
Tomorrow I'm going thrifting with Meghan for a retro-ish dress for the Big Band Dance.
Don't you love it when you've watched the episodes of Who's Line on ABC Family so many times you can almost recite the skits by heart?
I should sleep.

Today bites. I need chocolate, a shower, American Idol... and my mommy.
By the way, I don't care how that sounds. =P

[Link] | "Mossing" is uber fun. I just hope we didn't "over-moss" the set yesterday. I still have black paint underneath my non-existant fingernails.
Shawn and I went to Olive Garden last night, which was really nice. Usually when we go out to dinner we're in a rush for whatever reason. But no... we had all night just to kick back, and we even had dessert. It was a pleasant evening.
Last night I woke up around 2:00 because I heard what sounded like gunshots somewhere outside. About 10 shots in all. I went back to sleep, thinking it was nothing, but then I was woken by a blood-curdling scream. I heard two more screams following that at about 3:30... I was really disturbed. I got up and told my mom, and she said it was probably nothing [I knew she would]. But THEN I heard people outside having a really loud arguement/heated discussion, and eventually I just got so irritated that I shut my window, put on music and went to sleep. I still don't know what happened. Oh well.
I've been lying in bed all day, watching Star Wars. Oh, and I had Taco Bell for lunch. I have math homework that isn't due on Monday that I could be doing because I won't have time to next week [wow, run on sentence] but I really don't feel like it so I don't think I will.
My head hurts.

Kidnapping, Darth Vader, and prom, oh my!
So... it's a mediocre day. Musical let out late, everything had to be rechoreographed... bleck. And I'm sitting at home, and Nicole comes over, and we're just chatting. All of a sudden:
Nicole: Do you hear something?
Stevie: No...
Nicole: I thought I heard something.
[she gets up and goes to the front door, opening it and stepping outside]
Nicole: Anybody there?
Voices: Oops.. sorry, wrong door.
[Stevie opens the door to see what's going on. Darth Vader and a Jedi with a blaster and a lightsaber darkly loom in the doorframe]
Stevie: What the?!
Vader: You're coming with us.
Jedi: Get your shoes, let's go!
( Continue... )
I was totally "punk'd". I never saw THAT coming, that's for damn sure.

My history teacher thought it odd that I was in a good mood.
No thanks to anyone or anything. I was just in a rare, purely good mood.
No news. Just... existing.

[Link] | Thank you Jessica and Lindsey for forcing me to do that mirror exercise. Maybe some day soon I'll start to believe in it. :)
Today was long, and tiring... and I'm really not very happy right now. Nobody (except possibly my grandparents) in my family was planning to go to Pirates of Penzance. My mom asked for the performance dates, but she told me she "couldn't afford to take a Friday or Saturday off". ...Um, yeah. Tears? I think so. Most definitely.
Tomorrow after practice Meghan and I are going to go find a pilates course to take. Because I am really sick of how unhealthy I am. Time to take action! I think I'll enjoy working out a lot more if I have a friend to do it with.
Ugh.
One way leads to diamonds
One way leads to gold
Another leads you only
To everything you're told.
In your heart you wonder
Which of these is true;
The road that leads to nowhere
The road that leads to you.
Will you find the answer
in all you say and do?
Will you find the answer
In you?

I wish I were rich.
Because this jewelry is gorgeous.
I love the rings. Particularly this one and this one and this one, too.
Hell, I like 'em all. If only I actually had a chance at winning the lottery.

[Link] | Yesterday made me very happy. I love how you're so full of surprises, and how you make me feel beautiful. You take the time to consider my wants/needs, and I thank you for it. <3
I just wanted to sleep and sleep and sleep today away. I'm still not dressed. Which makes sense, considering I spent the entire afternoon on the couch.
Blonde is a very interesting movie. Marilyn's story is so... dramatic.
Do we have to go back to school?

[Link] | I want a 50s taffeta dress. Because I think I would wear it a lot.
Meghan and Lacey came over yesterday. Finding Neverland met my expectations, but the ending just depressed me. And then I proceeded to depress myself further by talking about problems which deal with the attitudes of people in the musical, and what I plan to do with my life. Great.
I'd like to be that girl who always seems to glow. I'd like to have infectous laughter and a witty sort of charm. I'd like to have wings or the power to fly, or maybe even read minds. I'd like to write amazing poetry and I'd like to invent something everyone would want to buy. I'd like to have sexy legs. I'd like to be sexy, period. I'd like to live somewhere sunny and I think it would be an interesting experience to swim in the ocean. Lying on a beach by myself at night looking at a sky speckled with stars would be relaxing. I'd like to be somebody's world... even if it were only for five minutes. Just so I know what it's like to be worshipped. I'd like to try living in the country, but then again the city sounds nice too. I wish I could speak French fluently and I wish money didn't necessarily have to buy happiness. Because admit it, in the long run it does. I'd like... I wish... I'd like for a few of my reasonable [unlisted] wishes to come true.
I need some cheering.

[Link] | Today was nice. :)
Shawn and I were supposed to go bowling today [as I have free passes, woo!] but alas, the lanes were all full. So we racked our brains for an hour, and I decided I wanted to play video games. So we went back to his house and played Sonic Shuffle. And then I kicked his behind at electronic Battleship and a simple game called Emerald City. We had a rather nice afternoon, I should think.
And now I'm just relaxing at home, thinking about all the cleaning I'm gonna have to do for tomorrow. Because supposedly lots of people are coming over and I don't want my friends to think I live in a pig-pen. I have a feeling the only movies anyone brings will be on DVD. I have a DVD player, but only in my room. And methinks my TV and my room are too small for five [more or less] teenage girls to watch movies in/on. So I'll also be adding the challenge of trying to hook up the DVD player to my very heavy, very hard to reach television in the living room. Ack.
"You're so sexy.... you make me think of... sex." <333

[Link] | So. Break is break. I'm not super-impressed so far.
But Shawn bought me my absolute favorite childhood movie [Return to Oz] when I wasn't feeling well yesterday. He rocks the casbah, that one.
Oh, and Nicole and I got stuck in traffic for two hours on our way to Bellevue Square. Let's just say the other drivers around us will always recall two crazy girls who used lip-gloss and lotion as microphones and screamed Moulin Rouge lyrics in their car. Heh. And that, friends, is why my health failed.
Better today. Antibiotics are finally starting to kick in.
Hey you....
When hopes and dreams are far away
And you feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump, I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash, then crash and burn
You're not alone. <333 Much love.

[Link] | I've pretty much convinced my mom to buy me the dress! Yessssss.
Went to the Everett Clinic this morning. Neither me or my mom have bronchitis. Just sinus infections. So we have antibiotics. Joy.
I'm going to relax now. Because waiting in an office all morning long has made me tired. Time to sift through my Disney collection.

Ooh, lightning!
So, Lacey and I took a wee little road trip to Centralia this mornin'.
And I totally whooped her arse at the License Plate Game. Yeah!
I came home, and lo and behold... people wanted to hang out with me. But I said no because I really didn't feel like hanging out with anyone this afternoon. Peace and quiet is the key. Peace and quiet. Two of the people who called, however, wanted to hang out later this week. Which sounds absolutely faboo, and I cannot wait. I put my quiet time to use by finding a dress for prom which looks somewhat like the one I originally wanted, but won't cost me an arm and a leg. (http://www.keepmeinstitches.biz/maid2522.htm)
How is it I keep finding totally awesome icons for everyone else, but I can't find one I like for me? Blah.
I watched Holes this afternoon.
[Kate is crying]
Sam: I can fix that. [kisses her, holding her tightly]
God damn it... romance is my weakness. I sobbed like a little girl. For that one scene. Which lasted a mere two minutes.
Time to make myself useful and fold some laundry. G'night.

And it ended beautifully.
Everything in between was pretty cool, too.

[Link] | Man oh man.
"One day more..." Ha! Corny, but true.
Why did we sit around for an hour today watching a movie in musical? And why aren't the directors telling the cops where to go? Meh. Oh well. I'm sure we can all work something out that will be spectacular. I have faith.
...I have optimism. Holy hell, where'd that come from?! 'Tis a mystery. Life is full of them.
The world is all grey and gloomy outside. I'd love to just smear it with color. There needs to be more warmth, more sunshine. Ragdolls and teddy bears and candy canes even though it isn't December. I want to see majestic purple sunsets and just one tiny glimpse of the ocean. Tulips. A field of tulips. And me in a crisp white sundress, pinwheel in hand. Some child-like fun. Let's break out the board-games. Let's watch Disney movies. Let's find our crayons and coloring books.
Or not. We could just grow up instead. Or we could stand on our heads and wiggle our toes to say hello to the sky. It sounds like a good time to me.
Alas. The constraint of being 17.

[Link] | I'm tired. It's time for a break. I had plans to actually go places, but that'll probably have to wait until the summer. We're all poor.
And tired. Did I mention that already? Poor and tired.
The first hour and a half of musical wasn't so bad. I like doing headstands with my fellow cops. I think Kristen may have taken a picture of it. ...Meep!
I'm so... non-moody. I love it.

A film in her eyes from the glow.
I'm happy to report that I will be making a full recovery, although a headache seems to be the non-negotiable side effect. Oh well.
If only I could manage to be something spectacular instead of nondescript.
I know I can get there. I'm a bombshell in the making.
The air is warm
A gently smothering blanket
And the ground is damp
Shiny with the wetness from the sky
Jackets and umbrellas
Protect the scurrying people
From the moisture that falls
Afraid of what truths it may reveal.
But I throw back my hood
And I tear off my shield
And I bare myself to the rain
For it washes away impurities
It cleans away my flaws
And leaves me naked and new.
Fresh like the bud of a wildflower
Thriving, alive, awake, and listening.
Watching a waiting for the one sliver
Of a moment.
The moment where I bloom
And join the whole of the garden.
The whole of the world.

But I really want to write.
Thank you, dearest.
