I beleive I have made a discovery.

I realize now that I will never survive without a show. The people in this show are my best friends. I can't beleive I ever lived without them. I have friends at school, but they aren't the same.

GOD, I want a man. Phillip, to be more specific. I know he won't be there tomorrow (volleyball game) and that makes me hurt inside. I really, really like him, but he says he doesn't like me. Ughh...

An old one I found
Monday. 10.8.07 7:59 pm
mood: happy, sad, retarded?
listening to: Æ’oo Æ’ighters
Well, I just rediscovered this on my flash drive, and I thought it was cool, so here it is.

Stardate: 8.20.07
Mood: Amazed
Listening to: Don’t do Sadness/Blue Moon

And here I thought becoming a freshman wouldn’t be such a big step.

Turns out it’s an enormous, colossal, gigantic step from 8th to 9th grade.

I have seven different classes like middle school, but unlike middle school, they’re not all confined to one and a half halls and a stairwell. I have to navigate two stairwells, three floors, and several different classrooms. Not to mention in five minutes without getting lost or bumping into a kid bigger than me and risking getting beat up.

The class I like the best right now is English. I was worried because I didn’t get Mr. Easter, but I like Mrs. Smith. She’s nice. I like Biology, too. Mr. Powell seems to like what he teaches. My least favorite class currently is Geography, but only because Mr. Gist compared me to Sarah. Said, ‘You have a lot to live up to!’ URGH! I’M NOT SARAH! But, whatever. He’s nice too, so it really doesn’t matter. This can all change again tomorrow. It was only the first day, and who knows?

In German I feel like an 8th grader sitting in on a high school class. There are practically no 8th graders in that class. I’m sitting next to a junior who thinks he’s the king of the world, even though he’s a total dip. He cusses and acts all cool when really he’s just an idiot. I dunno. I reserve judgment. Scratch that bit about me being mean.

High School is not a step from Middle School. It’s a leap.

Awesomely yours,
~E

Oh, Men...

It's a lovely term my gal pals and I coined when I was in the Outsiders as an extra. It perfectly describes love in the theatre. If you have been in a lot of plays (well, not even a lot of plays, just even a few plays) you know the term I speak of. That term, ladies and gentlemen, is 'Showmance', and I think it's great.

I'm currently in a production of Oklahoma! to celebrate our centennial. I'm not a huge part, and I barely even have a name (it's Ike). And Ike Skidmore, my friends, has a crush on another cowman. Actually, Elijah (moi) has a crush on Phillip, to be more specific.

Showmances abound in this show. My friend Christina has a crush on her childhood chum Jon (he shot her down) and tall, dark, and handsome Sean has a crush on some platinum blonde chick (not sure if this one's true, my gal pal Ryan told me so, though). All in all, this would make a great story if only they wouldn't kill me if I wrote it.

*sigh* Phillip is a great friend, too. He's not afraid to hold my hand and let me sit on his lap (and GOD, does that boy have a comfortable lap), but does that mean anything? In shows here, everyone flirts with everyone, making it hard to tell who's serious and who's not. It's terribly confusing. I'm 'with' so many men right now (and a few girls), but I'm careful not to show my feelings truly. God, do I want to, but I just can't.

He holds my hand. I sit on his lap. We follow eachother everywhere. He buys me sodas. We talk on the phone. My friend Tiffany thinks we would be a cute couple. Her twin Brittney thought we were going out. Could this be any more confusing?

And I really want a boyfriend. Could Phillip be my next?

Someone help!

On the subject of summer...
Friday. 8.10.07 1:16 pm
Listening to: Queen

Mood: Sad

I don't want it to end. My school starts up on the 20th, a scant 10 days from now. I've just finished my summer reading, and lemme tell you, Things Fall Apart SUCKED. I have to rant about this.

Things Fall Apart is about...*ahem*..."Although his father was a lazy man who earned no titles in the Ibo tribe, Okonkwo is a great man in his home of Umuofia, a group of nine villages in Nigeria. Okonkwo despised his father and does everything he can to be nothing like the man. As a young man, Okonkwo began building his social status by defeating a great wrestler, propelling him into society's eye. He is hard working and shows no weakness - emotional or otherwise - to anyone. Although brusque with his family and his neighbors, he is wealthy, courageous, and powerful among his village. He is a leader of his village, and this place in society is what he has striven for his entire life.

Because of his great esteem in the village, Okonkwo is selected by the elders to be the guardian of Ikemefuna, a boy taken prisoner by the tribe as a peace settlement between two villages. Ikemefuna is to stay with Okonkwo until the Oracle instructs the elders on what to do with the boy.

For three years the boy lives with Okonkwo's family and they grow fond of him, he even considers Okonkwo his father. Then the elders decide that the boy must be killed, and the oldest man in the village warns Okonkwo to have nothing to do with the murder because it would be like killing his own child. Rather than seem weak and feminine to the other men of the tribe, Okonkwo helps to kill the boy despite the warning from the old man.

Shortly after Ikemefuna's death, things begin to go wrong for Okonkwo and when he accidentally kills someone at a funeral ceremony, he and his family are sent into exile for seven years to appease the gods he has offended with the murder. While Okonkwo is away in exile, white men begin coming to Umuofia and they peaceably introduce their religion. As the number of converts increases, the foothold of the white people grows beyond their religion and a new government is introduced.

Okonkwo returns to his village after his exile to find it a changed place because of the presence of white men. He and other tribal leaders try to reclaim their hold on their native land by destroying a local Christian church that has insulted their gods and religion. In return, the leader of the white government takes them prisoner and holds them for ransom for a short while, further humiliating and insulting the native leaders. The people of Umuofia finally gather for what could be a great uprising, and when some messengers of the white government try to stop their meeting, Okonkwo kills one of them. He realizes with despair that the people of Umuofia are not going to fight to protect themselves because they let the other messengers escape and so all is lost for the Ibo tribe.

When the local leader of the white government comes to Okonkwo's house to take him to court, he finds that Okonkwo has hanged himself, ruining his great reputation."

So.

He's a man who kills people, drinks out of heads, then kills himself. This was a STUPID BOOK. I hated it.

Props to BookRags for the summary.
