more details of my oh-so-thrilling life...contain yourselves, chilluns

i'm sure you're not bored to tears at this point...

august

• 1- well, my life has been pretty boring and predictable lately. today i'm going to work. i hope i don't have to deal w/ the creepy guy. other than that, nothing.
• 7- don't confuse my silence on this front w/ being busy...although, for me, i guess it's been cool. working a bit. i'm gonna cry when i leave @ the end of the summer. on sunday, my baby steph came to church. haven't seen her since she went to idaho, so that was cool. i also had my senior pictures taken. get this...my mom had me get one w/ gretta in it...she wants me to have that one in the yearbook. i love my mom. i've been working at biology like a maniac...i'll finish in time. so yeah, that's my life up to here.
• 10- so yesterday was my mommy's birthday...i tried making a duncan hines cake w/ egg replacer...don't try this @ home, kids. does anyone remember the commercial w/ the guy making cake...it was all kinds of falling apart. i think it was for a church. anyway, if you do, this is what my cake looked like. so i threw it out and made one from scratch. yee-haw. talked to steph on the phone for a couple hours. ran. on the treadmill. again. GET COOLER, DAMMIT! ahem. so yeah, that was my day.
• 12- tomorrow's the magical mystery tour. can't wait. whitney's back from the beach...saw her today. steph, too. and steph's boy matt. leaving early (to me) morning. i'll be back thursday, so don't cry.
• 18- we went to new york city. oh my god! it was the most fun ever. all these people thought we were locals...got asked directions a couple times. it was so awesome. i'm working all weekend. i love my work.
• 19- today all the kidluns who went to mexico led church. brandon and ben yee and stephanie did beautiful sermons...and they all sang. go people. i had a short shift at work, and now i'm at home. blah. i've been pulling away @ my biology. i'm almost finished...only 2 more chapters. tomorrow is some stupid nhs thing...and thursday is orientation. yuck.
• 21- i had this stupid nhs leadership thing yesterday...waste of my time. i was also accosted by a memeber of the xc team who asked, *are you planning on coming to practice anytime in the near future?* but fuck it...too bad i've been running about twice as much as she has...too bad this person is one of the varied and sundry reasons i HAVEN'T been going to practice.
• 23- yesterday i had my trip to *the centre*...bwa ha ha ha. today was orientation...i got to drive myself. i hate my school.
• 26- yesterday was good and fun-filled day. i worked. steph was SUPPOUSED to come over, but her mom wouldn't let her go out. blah. i played life w/ mom. fun fun. i get to work today. which i'm excited about but not as much as i was yesterday.
• 30- tuesday was my last day working at the common market. i miss it. yesterday was my first day of school...the big senior year. i like most of my classes, so it's all good. and i have lunch w/ my friends. i was late to xc practice, but oh well. that was scary...there's like 40 people on the team...i walked into the room, and just about had an aneurism. most of them are freshpeople. *****LATER***** today was fine. only 9 months left. xc was good...we did five or six miles out 180. there are so many people! i talked to kenan. she moved out of my neighborhood and now there are evil children around. i consider it her fault.

september

• 5- this weekend i went searching for a graphing calculator. the cheapest one i found was *only* $85. excuse me, but i don't have that money. so i'm borrowing whitney's for the year. thanks, whitney. today i have an xc meet. i'm nervous, but i always am before the first meet. channel the adrenaline, jessica, channel it. yeah, so um, that's about the only thing i can say for my life. oh well.
• 6- our meet was awesome. the girls placed 6th out of 15...and we were missing two of our runners. so now we're all excited about this season. i made a PR by a bit, so i'm psyched about that too. go us. *****LATER*****today was a pretty easy practice...prtein lecture from el coache. yeah, yeah. tomorrow we have liturgy b/c the bishop is coming to our school. yippee.
• 7- tomorrow is the clear springs meet. i'm all revved up...i hope it goes as well as practice today. i was in the zone, just soaring. i barely remember it. i had to help set up for the back to school dance at school tonight. yay. @ least i didn't actually have to go to the dance...which would have sucked even worse. nhs=free labour.
• 9- due to the direction my life is taking, as of today, i will no longer be updating this portion of my website as often. If I have any thoughts that pertain to the rest of you, I'll put them here.
• 16- PEACE. i hear all these people throwing around words and phrases like, *nuke 'em*, *disporpotionate response*, *war*, *revenge*, *kill 'em*...these are not cool words, people. do you know what war means, really means? how many innocent people do we have to kill to prove that the u.s. is strong? why do we have to have a war? will death cure the problem? does mass murder make us any better than *the enemy*? do you even KNOW who *the enemy* is? PEACE. NOT DEATH.
