so for those of you who haven't seen me yet... i did something a little bit crazy today. zany, if you will. i had ten inches of my hair cut off so that i can donate it to locks of love! shazaam! i kinda miss my golden locks already considering i've been growing them out since 6th grade. but i like my new haircut and hopefully it will be much less high-maintenance.
whoop there it is!
Current mood:  happy Current music: it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...

So today is Halloween. My favorite holiday of all time. It was a pretty
good day for a monday but kind of a sad Halloween for me. I had about 6
tiny groups of trick-or-treaters come to my house and that was a bit of
a dissapointment so from the hours of 5-7 I mostly sat in my best
Halloween getup (homecoming dress and orange and black knee socks)
anticipating the arrival of tiny trick-or-treaters but ended up
watching the History channel and eating candy with the occasional
ringing of the doorbell. You can stop reading now if you'd like. This
isn't going to get much more exciting. Today is my last official
Halloween spent as a child. It makes me want to cry. But then again I
will always love Halloween whether I am at parties in college, going
around with my own little trick-or-treaters, or old and whithered and
wearing a sweater with cheezy pumpkins and leaves on it. I can't help
but love it. Here's to you Halloween! I raise my cup of hot chocolate
to you and all of your splendors.
Happy Halloween!

Today was one of the best days i've had in a while. Thank goodness for cookies from a grandma, occasional country music, target, panera bread and coffee, my best friend and coincidental boyfriend whom I love so very much, getting homework done, dinner with my mom and dad, and last but not least this lazy-sunday fall weather.
Current mood: happy Current music: the good stuff

life's been going pretty well.
very busy.
way busier than i am used to.
i've decided that i'd really rather not work.
it kinda sucks a lot.
my cat is staying up with me and pleasantly munching on her food while i type.
i thought that was pretty nice of my little fuzzball.
i should be going to bed.
i need to figure out what i am doing college-wise.
it seems like everyone else pretty much knows what they're doing.
i have noooo idea.
i swear someone over 40 asks me every day about what i am doing about college.
wish i knew.
i found a pretty dress today.
i don't really like updating my journal because i always want to delete my entries.
but i promise i'll try not to this time.
i love you.
sorry for the un-punctuated, uncapitalized, fragmented sentences.
oh and just for kicks and giggles-
i dropped a AAA battery on my foot last night and it left a perfect battery shaped circular bruise on my foot. it showed up like a minute after it happened. it was pretty crazy.
Current mood:  stressed

ok went and got my scheduale today let me know if we have any of the same classes pleeaasee.
AP English Mr. Cobine
Spanish 3 Mrs. Eubanks
Homeroom Mr. Russell
Computer Applications Mrs. Nolte
Band Mr. Ballin
Percussion Mr. Bettner
Pre Calc Mrs. Hansing
Government Mr. Wier
(Computer Applications may be subject to change)
A quick note about State Fair:
The two best performances we(or at least I) know we ever had were rewarded unfairly. The summer overall was awesome. 4th place for percussion caption... as Claire so elequently put it... you've got to be kidding me. That left a bitter taste in my mouth that I still haven't gotten the chance to spit out.
See you Tuesday if not sooner.
love and kisses,
Mary

if you choose to read this entry be prepared to trudge through a lot of talk of band, friends, family, school, the love life, and other ramblings as if you were wearing rain boots filled to the brim with mud.
BAND- i am very pleased with the way things have been going. sure there was some drama in the beginning, and sure my section has 8 freshman,and only 1 sophomore, 1 junior and 2 seniors. things are progressing really well. i feel fairly comfortable with the music and can't wait to get more. yeah we aren't the hot shit yet, and yeah not everybody is getting along, and oh yeah i suck at being section leader. but i'm happy. band camp is mere weeks away and i can't wait to room with juliann, eat fruity pebbles for breakfast every day, work to know my music like the back of my hand, senior dress up nights, all the traditions, and of course probably crying at bonfire. i can't believe we've all gotten so old all of a sudden.
FRIENDS- i miss megan. good lord my other half has been ripped away from me. we need to stitch ourselves back together before i die from losing this 115 pound vital organ. this summer has been awesome so far with getting to hang out with everyone all the time though i miss some people i used to see in school everyday. the people you never really hang out with much but realize how much their presence means once you are apart for a while. lately i've been missing some of the kids i grew up with in church and went to logos with for a smidgen of time. i just kinda drifted away from them once freshman year rolled around i guess. it also amazes me that i'm still finding new people to learn about that have been in my grade all along that i never really got to know. holy crap this entry is gonna be long.
FAMILY- with work and band and being with my friends and robin almost 24/7, i really haven't seen my family much at all, which,as it turns out, has it's perks as we are all getting along fairly well and appreciate each other's company when we can. i just took at trip with my mom to visit a college in michigan and it reminded me just how much i love her. my sister comes home from ecuador this sunday and i am anxiously awaiting her arrival. 7 months was a long time to be without her.
SCHOOL- as senior year approaches, the thought of all these finalities and decisions are weighing heavily on my mind. raise my SAT scores. raise my GPA. find a college. get accepted. wrap up your high school career. all those sort of things are sitting on the back of my mind causing the occasional stress attack until i push them back into the furthest nooks and crannies once again. there is such a sense of comfort in richmond. i always thought i'd be so ready to go to college but now that i am realizing what all it will mean, being away from friends and robin, not knowing my way around, having to compete in a specialized field. having to pick a major. writing essays. it's all looming there, a thick black cloud, brewing up a storm in my noggin.
THE LOVE LIFE- things are going swell. what can i say. i get to date my best friend ( well i mean you know besides megan and juli) we are able to look at each other and realize how lucky we are not to have to fight constantly and worry and deal with uneccessary drama. we just understand each other and don't care if all we do when we hang out is stay at home like old people sometimes. i dunno. i write for hours.
EXTENDED RAMBLINGS- i've been watering juli's neighbor's flowers while she was in chicago and such and i really enjoyed it. these beautiful houses with flowers in full bloom and the occasional fat neighbor cat following me around and rubbing against my ankles totally unswayed by the huge watering can or hose in my hand.
i really enjoy cooking for people.
i've been working on making shirts and such for myself and others almost every week this summer.
i love bran apple pancakes.
working isn't that great but having money is nice.
i've been doing 400 crunches a day which would be impressive if i didn't waste it all by eating two desserts a day too.
my birthday is coming up pretty soon.
DCI is soon.
band camp/state fair/ two-a-days are all soon.
i haven't been swimming in 3 summers.
i forgot how much i love the library and reading.
there are still so many things i want to do with the summer, i hope it stays as wonderful as it has been.
sorry for how long that was, guess i needed to get some things out of my system.
love,
mary
oh yeah and sorry i was too lazy to capitalize and punctuate correctly. deal with it.

the way my legs look you'd think i've been wrestling timpani all the way to the orchestra room, but au contrair mon petites, i am merely an easily bruised pale kid who takes 15 minutes to roll an effing drum into a building.
so if you happen to see my legs today, there's your explanation.
no my father and robin haven't been beating me.

Today and yesterday has taken all that I have in my and my better judgement to not just break down and cry, vomit all over creation, and scream at the top of my lungs. Don't ask me why, because it's a dumb reason and when I look at it from an outsider's perspective it makes me see how pathetic/immature/selfish (take your pick) i'm being.
But I want to say thank you for coming over just to hold me when you could hear me on the verge of tears on the phone. It meant the world to me.

guess who just got her first real job?....
the suspense is killing you isn't it?
that's right!
you guessed it!
it's me!
i start training tomorrow from 5:30-9 at Dad's Ice Cream (just moved in attached to west side family video).
crazy as it may sound,and as reluctant as i was to hunt for jobs, i'm looking forward to this. the whole thing is set up like a retro-ish diner and i get to listen to the grease soundtrack and old rock'n roll all day long and scoop ice cream so that one of my arms will get all buff.
whenever the store actually opens you should let me scoop you up some delicious ice-creamy goodness.
it'll be fun.
you know you'd like it.

I now bring you another update on the mayhem and madness that is my life! aka the good and the bad! But luckily this time the good outweighs the bad by like...a lot.
So we'll start with the bad so that we can end on a happy note here:
Drumline is over for this season but no matter what the politics were or how much drama there was, it was still an awesome season.
I have to find a job
I need to look into more colleges and figure out what i'm doing with my life and what I might be good at.
SAT's are soon and I am positive my scores will be horrendous because I haven't studied and the only thing I did well on with the PSAT's was the english portion.
Some of the weight I lost might be coming back.
I miss my sister.
My grades aren't too bad but I could stand to make them better.
My arms and face are burnt compliments of watching Alex's soccer game saturday.
Robin's mom thinks we never spend any time apart from each other and never hang out with just our friends. crap.
On to the good!:
My mood has been skyrocketing ever since spring break/beginning of these year, for the most part things just keep getting better.
I have a feeling this summer will be truly awesome. I can't wait to just be with all my friends and have a super long version of spring break with some kings island and some camping and some drive in movies thrown in there. I have a feeling that during this summer band season our line can be really close if we want it to be. Granted, we are all pretty close already but just looking at riverside's line and how they interacted with us and each other really is inspiring. I want our line to be that close and to strive to be that good.
I love all of my friends and Robin of course so much.
We are going to have a drumline next winter and things will just keep getting better, I was so relieved to hear Mr.Bettner say that our line will still be intact next year.
It's hit me that soon (most of us) are going to be seniors and that just kind of blows my mind. It's a good thing but it's scary to think about for too long. I'm not quite ready to leave the comfort of knowing everyone and not having to worry about what I am doing with my life. The kids that aren't in band won't really get this but after all three years of listening to seniors that i've admired speak around the bonfire it's crazy to think that i'll be listening to all my friends this year.
It's also hit me that with us becoming seniors the other seniors are going to be gone. I'm going to miss Chris, Courtney, Claire, Michael Morris, and all the other seniors that i've looked up to and have made me laugh.
Ok well this is just getting long and excessive, I think i've covered almost everything and some things that everyone else has already covered too. Sorry about that.
-Mary

and i'm thinking to myself that "gee i should get outside!" because it's so splendid out there, at which time a seed from the apple i'm eating throws itself into my mouth to meet its doom. i almost choke. god is trying to smite me. or something. either way i think it's a sign that i should be out living my sixteen year old life instead of sitting in front of the computer.
you should too.
love,
ME
Current mood:  in toasty
