Super Slack

warning: this is long and rambling, but worth reading, I promise.

I've been super slacking lately on blogging and I apoligize greatly for it and if there is anyone still reading then I love love love you for it.

Today was a snow day, however there wasn't any snow. Why did we have a snow day you ask? Because people in Georgia are babies when it comes to cold weather. They freakout at the slightest chance of a freezing temperature and the 30 percent chance of rain. I'm not complaining, because hey, it got me out of a day of school. It was just stupid. However I went back to my holiday sleep schedule and slept until noon woke up and ate Subway watching some criminal minds and went bowling with my family where we listened to Bad Romance about 238952045 times. I love it. The reason I slept until noon was mostly because I was working on my essays for my UGA application which is due on the 15th. The essays have to be 200 words max and the questions are a little ridiculous if you think about it. I've gotten 2 of the essays done and now I'm just completely stumped in the last two: "Select a musical piece to be your theme song. Tell us what it would be, and more specifically, why it represents who you are." and the one is about an interestiing story about myself. I really have no idea what song would describe me, I've thought of a few that would describe my life at this point. the song "Closer to Free" by the Bodeans kind would be about how I'm so close to the next step in my life, going off to college. I really don't know though maybe the Kings of Leon song "Use Somebody" or maybe something by U2. Any suggestions? I know some of you have read some of my posts, so do any songs stand out that might work for me? The story one I'm just going to have to think about, some of us were talking and I was thinking maybe about the time I met Paula Deen and I cried, or when I accidentally though the doctor asked if I was "socially active" instead of "sexually active" and at the time I was 13 so I just rambled on about how I do stuff with both boys and girls and how sometimes my parents are even there, thinking that I was talking about hanging out with my friends, not having sex with all of them. So when she asked if I had "been useing protection" I was like: "ummm wait what?" So to say, that was just an overall embarrassiing moment in my life, especially at the fragile age of 13. Man, being 13 seems so far away, I have such different and better friends now, its amazing. From the way middle school turned out I thought I would be completely screwed over in high school too.
I've had a very proactive week, the word "proactive" was actually used to describe me, yes me, the usual procrasitinator, yesterday by one of my favorite teachers. I've been really trying to get things done lately, and being better about getting all the things I want to get done, done. So trying to get adjusted to a busy schedule this semester after such a show semester is quite a change. I've turned in 4 job applications and I actually have an interview on Monday at Carrabas, and Thursday after my voice lesson with my new favorite voice teacher I talked to him about his catering bussiness and he told me he'd give me a call sometimes to work at some of his events. Especially since I cook all the time, and I tend to be really good at it, not bragging or anything. I also gave one of my teachers the recomendation form I needed her to fill out for UGA and I got a form about Literary festival in March, where I'll be doing a solo! I've actually been asked to do it every year, but they always tell me about a week before. Do you know how hard it is to prepare TWO operatic arias in one week. Its hard, no its impossible. So I'm getting ahead and I'm already working on a stunning french and a german piece for literary and depending on my progress we'll pick one. I'm really excited. I also have a busy day tomorrow, I'm doing stuff with some of my favorite people, which should be fun! Now the only things I really want to be able to fit into my schedule is the gym, and of course some downtime, because this week, I had none! Which I like, but I still need just a little bit.
Prom has also been a real big topic lately. I have been telling myself for forever that I was one of those girls who didn't go to prom, and that I didn't want to waste the money, but all of the sudden I've just had this drastic change and I really want to go now. I would prefer to go with a date, and yes, I have a few people in mind(but I won't get into that right now) but I'll still go without one, I just really don't want to. I've been looking at some dresses so I might post a few later, because I'd love peoples oppions, I think we might actually go shopping in Atlanta eventually.
SO I just found out that one of my all time favorite performers, Sondre Lerche is coming to Atlanta Feb. 11, the day before my birthday, to do a show at the Earl. Of course, seeing this I get super excited, especially since I've been on a live music craving lately, seriously, If I don't get to a concert soon, I might have to hurt someone. But anyways, I was so excited the tickets were only 15 dollars and I was determined to go, even if I had to go alone, especially since I have my handy garmin now. But I get to the website and what do I see? I see this pretty little bitch of a symbol: "21+"! YES! 21 and OVER! SERIOUSLY! I think I screamed. I hate being 17. Atleast when you're 18 you can go to some shows, but the 21+ is just stupid. The place is just too cheap to get some frickin hand stamps. COME ON?!? Now I'm pissed. I think I'm going to go watching either the movie "The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp circa 1999 about Satan and the Gates to hell, sounds good to me. or The Last Picture show(the show referenced in the Dawsons Creek episode "The Longest Day") or High School Musical 3. Yes, I do have a broad type.
