Save the One Act.

Today was super-crazy. It was just an odd day. We watched War of the Worlds in Mass Comm today. That was stange...in a hokey disturbing way. English was a zoo as usual. Many students were angry about all the homework, others got angry about their complaining, I think everyone had PMS or something. There was a lot of shouting.

ONE ACT WAS NUTS! We were going through picking parts. One girl proclaimed dibs on a part...another girl wanted it. They both got a bit mad. On girl pronounced death on anybody who would want this part...she was kidding...but it was still unsettling. People were just edgy all day. Ryan, Come home...fix it.

Just another animal in the zoo, Emily

Miss Cellophane...should'a been my name.

*Sigh* I feel so invisible. Unimportant. Like my life, and the things that I do, haven't made even the slightest dent in the world around me.

Today in class Matt called me Ashley. He was attempting to say hi to everyone in the class. And hen he got to me he got a little stuck. Anna asked him, "Do you know her name?" "Ummm....Ashley." Upon realizing my name wasn't Ashley he apologized and said "You remind me of an Ashley." *Sigh*

At first I thought everyone thought I was freak, but now I doubt that they even notice my exsistence. I guess I'm nothing but another silent face in the crowd.

Would you bring me back a sombrero?

I made bars today. They are warming quite comfortably in the oven as I type. My father and little sister are singing the "meow mix" commericial in the next room. Heaven only knows why.

I've been thinking a lot of college life. I intended to finish my application over this long weekend, but I was unsuccessful. Drat it all. Now that I'm a senior random people ask me where I want to go to college. What I want to do with my degree. How I wish to spend the next 70 years and how much wealth I intend to accumulate. Bah. I'm scared to go to college, but I'm even more scared not to go. I've seen the fate of those who choose not to leave for college, they become the pariah of this little community. "Why didn't you go to college?" "What are you doing insted?" "How is your family doing dealing with this shame upon their household?" Bah. Nosy old people. I'm excited to see how my future will play out....

And, *crosses fingers* I think I've chosen a major: Communications and Media. - I wanna write. :)

Lost in thought...

Oofda! It has been a long time since I last posted. I decided I should write about politics more often. I got 5 comments to my post about Bush. And only 1 was negative! ...granted, I wrote one of the comments myself. *giggle*

So it's been a crazy busy week at school. I gave my speech for English class today. I got a prefect score. I knew those mindnumbing mornings on a bus for speech would pay off someday! Choir has been more boring than usual, although solo contests are this tuesday. Too bad I can't remember the words to my song. And we toured the radio station this week for mass comm. I had this over-whelming urge to organize their closets, which were exploding with seemingly worthless items.

But all in all I had a pretty fab week. And last weekend was SO fun! I went to Trout Lake Bible Camp for a retreat. It was so great! Plenty of time to rest, relax, and reflect on life. And I'm excited to be a Christian again. It's been so long since I have been in that atmosphere of bibles, peace and quiet, and fellowshiping with other Christians. It was just what I needed. We had an insanely huge bonfire at the end of the weekend. It was the equivilent of burning 3 of the LBBBC cabins. Ha.

The only real downside to the weekend was my recurring role as a 3rd. wheel. Anna had her beau, Mike, and Michelle hooked up with an old guy friend. And for those of you who know what it's like to be that extra person..yeah..it sucked. But my and my youth pastor kicked it for a while. And I've decided I prefer think of myself not as a third wheel, but as a uni-cycle.
His Grace is Sufficient, Emily

Yes, I am a Bush Babe .

My beloved President George W. Bush has won another 4 years in office. I'm floored. I stayed up until 1:00 in the morning watching election coverage. God bless Ohio. It felt good to know that people cared about where are country is going. One poll said that more Americans voted based on moral issues than the economy. A first ever for our country.
