Yeah, that was random. Anyway, something exciting happened this morning: I found 4 dollars in my khaki pants pocket!! Yay for having 4 more dollars than I had before (or at least more than I knew I had before). At least that's something to smile about, haha. Last night was kind of crappy, save the nice conversation with Jared. Seriously, I've been looking forward to the later hours of my nights for that very reason - I hold onto that to get me through the day. *laughs* So now Jared's going to be all like, "whoooa you're weird. *scoots away quickly*" ...Honestly, I haven't had anyone to talk to for a very lengthened period of time for a while now, so it's a welcomed and enjoyed diversion.

Moving right along, my despair last night heightened from having to memorize 18 lines of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales by today at 1:30 (on which I got an A, by the way! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^) to additionally being notified that I have to come up with a talent to perform in chapel tomorrow as part of Homecoming Court! *stabs self in face* LoL. I figure I'll just recite some Shakespeare I memorized a long time ago that has managed to stay with me completely ever since.. and today at lunch, Paige and Michelle convinced me that I should say it a second time, really ridiculously fast, afterward - and yes, I can do it. They said even if I mess up, it'll be hilarious. So it's decided. As per request, that is my talent for tomorrow... in front of the whole school, mwahahaha!

I'm really excited about this weekend, despite my nervousness about being out there in front of everybody and their mom...TWICE. Here's just hoping I don't trip on my dress when I'm walking on the field. LoL, yikes. This is definitely a completely new experience for me, and I'm glad it happened. I know my friends and family are going to be out there in the crowd rooting for me, no matter how much I look like a dork . Thanks, guys - I love you! Oh, and my brother's coming up and taking Michelle, Kim, maybe Peter?, and me to see The Corpse Bride tomorrow night, so I'm like wet-your-pants excited about that!! ...and strict room was cancelled for tonight, so I have more time to catch up on some homework I've fallen behind on. Yay! God does like me!

P.S. I heard the song listed as my current music last night while waiting in line for Midnight Madness (at which I was early enough to get that free t-shirt and pizza! yeah buddy), and it really grew on me. So I found it on Dogpile. ^_^ For the record, I'm not lonely anymore, I just like the song a lot - and it doesn't really sound that sad, so it's all good! And now I'm off to watch Escaflowne till dinner...
