Hot new layout. I know you're jealous.
I went out to eat today, that's about it. I'm ready for camp and all I have to do is start packing.
Should i do a birthday thing? I'm soo lazy. That's all.

Rules for Yearbook Entries: 1. Do not ask me if you can sign my yearbook. Ask me if I'll sign yours, and I'll generally reciprocate the favor. This is common protocol. 2. If you know I don't particularly like you or know you well, be prepared to have two exact same entries. If Joe wrote "Hey! Ur sooo cool! HAGSXZ! Luvv, Joe", then I'll write "Hey! Ur sooo cool! HAGXZ! Luvv, Joe" in my own handwriting, right next to that same entry. This is sweet sweet vengeance upon you for even thinking of asking me to grace your yearbook. 3. Do not get mad if I ask to sign your yearbook in another class that you'll see me in today. For God's sake, I'm not even making you wait til the next day. Mainly, I'm just trying to get people I rarely see to sign it first.

I am thinking it's a sign That the freckles in our eyes Are mirror images and When we kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate That God himself did make us into Corresponding shapes like puzzles pieces From the clay That's a good song. In other news, I am almost done with high school. After 12 years of school, it's an exciting prospect, especially since i'll be leaving home. far, far away to Iowa where my only friend is corn. But really, after these last three days of school, i won't have anything to do. I'm really at a loss for what to expect. I have from the 18th to the 7th to get ready for camp, start getting ready for college, and manage to keep in touch with my friends. It'll be weird. Usually summers mean a break from school. This time it's the END of school. I'll have no summer reading, no summer assignments excpet those I assign myself. I know, I know; I'm still going to be going to school, but it's going to be a whole different kind of school. It's a school without parents and curfews, without dress codes and really conservative people. I'm really really looking forward to it, but it's still a scary prospect. I'm scared I won't be able to keep up with the work load and I'm scared I won't like it at Grinnell. Most of all, though, I'm scared I'm going to lose touch with everyone from high school. It's a really upsetting thought, but I'm just so bad at keeping in touch. I hardly even talk to people from camp, and those people are the best ever. I guess I'll have to work on that aspect of myself, but I don't know. This really is an unusual time in my life. Here's to a new era! and maybe a new erin!
Now i'm going to go cut my hair. It is getting entirely too long.

You know, if you're going to make a valid argument, it's pretty crucial to know the difference between "accept" and "except"

Right now, I'm waiting for my nails and hair to dry. I am in the stages of prep for prom.
I've done my makeup except for my lips, which I will perfect right before going to Mallory's house.
I'm excited, so much more excited than last year. I think it's cause of the dress...
I'll update later.

Little Plastic Castle--Ani DiFranco |
] |
Yesterday, I was driving around in Anderson with Lauren B. And I saw a doggy on the side of the road. And I passed it. And she ran out in the road after me. So I said, "Lauren, I think we're turning around to get that dog now." And she said, "Okay." So I pulled over, put on my hazard lights, and put out my hand to stop the oncoming traffic. (yes, i stopped oncoming traffic!) And I grabbed the doggy, put her in the car, and took off! She subsequently tried to jump out of the window, so I had to put up the window. After bringing her to an acquaintance's house, where we called the numbers on her tag, we hung out. We took her out on the boat with Ansley, Lyndsie, Lauren, and said acquaintance. She tried to jump off. When we left Anderson, I took the doggy home with me. I made her a bed out of my old comforter, and she slept the night away. This morning, my acquaintance called to say that her owner called. Then we called him. He came all the way from Anderson to get his puppy. We met him in the parking lot of Target, and she hopped out of our car right into his truck! She was soooooo happy, and her owner paid me $40 that was completely unnecessary but a nice gesture. I feel good today.
Her name is Lucy:

Such Great Heights--the Postal Service |

A very special Cancerian
Erin Mcbxxxxx is a tough cookie. You can't pull the wool over Erin's eyes and you had better not try! Erin was born under the sign of the crab and she can deliver a very nasty nip! Cancerians may not be the fiercest creatures in the zodiac but they are blessed with a brilliant set of self-defence mechanisms. They have impenetrable armour and sharp, scary claws. Erin's shell is especially strong. She won't let anyone come anywhere near to her heart unless she knows for sure that they mean no harm. Her impeccable instincts inform her of this and alert her to act accordingly. This is why the world around Erin is divided into two sorts of people - those who don't know quite what to make of her and those who have been fortunate enough to meet the real Erin McBxxxxx.
The real Erin McBxxxxx is soft, kind, caring, loving and giving. So soft, so kind, so special as to deserve a sainthood. All praise to 'Saint Erin the Caring.' 'Saint Erin the Caring.' It has a ring to it does it not? It is fair comment, is it not? Indeed it is, as all who know the true nature of Erin will willingly and eagerly confirm. There's only one problem with being a saint. It is what it does to your ego. Erin McBxxxxx is a true saint and true saints are not just naturally loving and compassionate, they are also naturally humble. But true saints have a tendency to turn into martyrs. Sometimes, just sometimes, Erin can be a little too good for her own good.
