Sacred Forest Meadow

Trick-or-treating with Heather was the most fun I've had in quite a few Halloweens ^_^

- talking about my wizard school story idea, and getting some ideas for broom-riding cheerleaders by fiddling around with her prop broom
- confusing the hell out of the neighbors with my costume (pictures will be coming ASAP!)
- one house completely decorated like a medievil castle
- another house with the strobelight murder in the window that I mentioned in my phone post
- the last house we visited with homemade moving dolls on the front porch! fucking blew my mind away!
- "There's a fuzzy thing on your butt" (discovering that Heather had a fuzzy pom-pom bat on a string of her robe)
- one house with a black cat living in it, and it ran by when the door opened..."Heather...I believe a black cat has just crossed our path!"
- shining my flashlight on Heather's ass
- Heather retaliating to the above later when I dropped my flashlight
- my cell phone (set to vibrate) going off in my bag..."whoah, time out, my bag is vibrating!"
- enthusiastic puppies galore
- listening to Heather's brother, Ben, babble about Morrowind (SP?). Sounds kinda like RPGMaker ^_^ maybe I should check it out!
- singing "This is Halloween" at the tops of our lungs
- mini juggling act with Ben when trading candy
- amusing Ben and Heather by telling the story of evenshadowscry's inadvertant impression of a Goron (from Zelda) several years ago
- watching Nightmare Before Christmas
- nearly flooring Ben when Jack saw the door to ChristmasTown and I said "Shiny senses...tingling"

I was Buffy in the episode Helpless. Or more or less in the same situation.

It was the Friday of Otakon, and the first day of school. My plan was to go to the con with other people from school right when they let us out. I was in Algebra with Ms. Liu, and I turned in a book that I'd forgotten to return the previous year, but she said that I already turned in my book, and started trying to figure out whose book I had. I sat out in the hall while waiting. There were several people dressed up for Otakon so they could go after school; one person helping the janitor was dressed as Alucard from Hellsing. I saw Corey coming down the hall and ran up to talk to her. Woke up just as Heather came by and I was about to tell her and Corey that I was going to Otakon.

the whole gang Except Corey who wasn't there :( And Heather, who was taking the picture.

I have been absorbed by the video game monster. Damien brought me his PS1 memory card. Oh, sweet, sweet Chrono Trigger, how do I save thee?

Anyway, recap of the party, in a giant coconutshell.
( IT'S A MADHOUSE!!! )

WHY IS THIS THE ONLY PLACE I CAN GET INTO RIGHT NOW?!?! ARGH!

Anyway...

Heather called a little while ago. She was wondering why I wasn't at school. Sho shweet! ^_^ Now I remember why I'm friends with that girl.

We finally fixed the problem with the vacuum, so I did the family room, and as I was cleaning the game room, I determined that the floor was good enough not to vacuum. Tomorrow: THE MOVIE ROOM! Dun dun duuuuuuun!

On another note: Today I have eaten...
- crackers with peanut butter on them
- ramen soup
- a donut
- chips and chilli

and I'm fine!

That means that I'm MUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better :)

No, I didn't audition for the musical. I was kinda thinking about it at first, but like I said before, I want to start looking for jobs again right after the One Act festival, so there's no way I'd have time for both. But I decided to go watch Corey audition at least, and I ended up seeing lots of cool people audition :D

So...once again, Mrs. McCary couldn't get the rights to the play, but this time it wasn't her fault. They haven't decided on the play yet, so the singing auditions are on hold. So I got to see people's monologues. There were some pretty good ones. I think my favorite was the one where I got to do a little improv;

This one girl's monologue was about how sick she is of every boy she meets staring at her chest. She had Spencer on stage drooling at her, then at the end of the monologue she kneed him in the crotch (acting, of course). Then while she was getting her picture taken for the audition papers, I ran over and helped Spencer up the stairs (yes, still acting). Now, I know what you're thinking; "Was this an excuse to act and be silly or was this an excuse to touch Spencer's arm?"

Good question. *giggles*

My gaaaaawd I want Spencer's audition mug shot! *hypersonic squeee*

And I was very happy for the people who did the lunchtime monologue from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Because without a very kind Charlie Brown wiling to donate his sandwich, I wouldn't have been able to watch the whole audition, let alone Corey's.

Speaking of Corey, we established once again how clueless Heather is; I came into the building, and Corey and Heather were having a discussion. It was obvious from the look on Corey's face that Heather was being stupid again. Heather sees me and asks "Do you notice anything different about Corey's hair?" I blink at Heather and say "Uhh....she got it cut?" in a "duh" voice. Corey jumps up and thanks me graciously. Apparently Corey asked her this and she thought it got longer. Umm...yeah....I think Heather needs a little bit of Corey's Ritalin or something.

Another rehearsal tomorrow, which means being out reaaaaaaallllly late. But at least we're getting costumes prepared! Yay!

Must remember to pack my cell phone.

My parents were away and I took Dad's van to some restaurant because Heather was there and I wanted to give her some kind of message. I got the message to her and meant to go home but I ended up hanging out and spending the night at her house. The next day I went to her Middle School (?), and Erin from Volleyball class (IRL) was there, making it very obvious how much she hates me. After school, she started to chase me, yelling at me about what an evil girl I am and I don't deserve to live, making death threats. I planned to pull out my keys while I was running so that I could open the door immediately once I got there, but then I remembered that I didn't have a key to Heather's house and besides, I left my fanny pack in the van. I finally got to the house and started banging on the door screaming for Mr. Neri to open up, but nobody came, and Erin cornered me. I took off my shoe and knocked her out with it. I knocked on the door again, Erin came to, I hit her with my shoe again.

I went to a grocery store with a bunch of people (my friends or my parents) and saw a cashier abusing a little girl. I ran outside and called the police on a cell phone.

There was a courthouse where a bunch of criminals were being held. They were trying to escape.

On a river rapids ride with Mom.

Woke up with Wipe Out stuck in my head.

Corey and Heather and my parents and I spent the day at the county fair. It was fun! We spent the first few hours in the agricultural section, and we saw the piggie races (SO CYUTE!) and there were some beautiful pictures in the art exhibit. Reminds me that I really need to make something to submit to the fair sometime.

Then we went to the rides. We went on the ferris wheel first, to see what else was there, then we went on the Bobsled, which basically spins around and is really fast and has heavy music and a cool snow machine. I got some of the snow in my mouth, though. Ptooey. Then Corey and I went against each other in the bumper cars, with Heather shotgun in my car. Then we went on the carousel. Then Heather and Corey went on this really intense spinny ride that went verticle, and Heather started to get sick, so we walked around for a little bit. I did a ducky game where I won a fake red rose. Heather asked who my secret admirer was, and we all agreed it was from Syngo ^_^ Heather started feeling a little better, so we went on another spinny ride that wasn't as intense. That was fun, and Corey said we looked really funny with Heather squashing into me and my head leaning over the side of the car. Heather was still a little woozy after that, so we stopped to try to meet up with Mom and Dad. We walked around some more after meeting up with them, I won a stuffed clownfish on a stick (which I wrapped around my rose for convenience), Corey and I went on the Bobsled again, then we started getting tired, so I played a few more games and won a little stuffed whale and a stuffed ray. We met up with my folks, won a prize for Mom, got some funnel cake, then started heading home.

So now here I sit, feet no longer hurting, but legs starting to ache, with the rose in my lap, thinking that this is the most fun I've had at the fair ever. Probably 'cause I'd never gone with friends before.

It's a shame Damien couldn't come with us :(

While Heather can be a bit of a pain, she's great at gift-giving.

She came by a few minutes ago to give me something she bought for me in Greece. It's a pretty wooden music box in the shape of a lute ^_^

Waaaiii! I luv it! Thank you, Heather! *hugs*

We had a party this weekend. It's still running right now,but a lot of people have already left. Damien, Orenda and Corey, namely. Several others too. I had way too much fun! Why'd they have to leave already?

Heather's still here, but she's playing a game with Marc.
