the good, the bad, and the what just happened?











{April 25, 2008}   Explanation

Ok, I realize that my last post was very unspecific and vague. I will explain my hypnosis:

 

There are a series of books by Stephenie Meyers. Currently there are 3 but soon to be 4. The first is called Twilight. It took me a while to finish for various reasons but I have and now I am halfway through the second: New Moon.

 

I first heard of this book through one of the students that attend Huntington where I work. She just raved about it but she always did that about any book she read; yet I could tell that there was something slightly different this time. After that over the last couple months I kept hearing the name “Edward Cullen” and how he was “perfect” and “amazing”. I figured he was some kind of new actor I have not heard about and looked him up.

 

I soon learned that he was a fictional character in a book. ‘What a bunch of retards,’ I thought. Obsessing this much over a person who didn’t even exist. Well a girl I work with decided to check out this “Twilight” book and see what all the fuss was about. She thought the same thing I did about these freaks.

 

She practically shoved the book down my throat before she was even finished. I thought this book must be incredible for this girl to act like this. So, I picked it up one day at work (since she brought it everyday and worked on it little by little) and started reading. At first, it was like every other book.

 

It took a quick turn. I have never been so captivated by fictional characters before. I read it whenever I can and if I’m not reading it then I think about reading it and what could possibly happen next.  I am debating weather to tell you what its about…not because I might ruin it, but because you might find me slightly as insane as I thought all the others who have read it…

 

I dont think I will…

 

If you so happen to look up what it is about then don’t just shove it away because that is exactly what I did for so many months. Just know that I know that I sound absurd and crazy. But I’m telling you that is exactly what this series of books does to you.

 

Alright now that I have assured you that I am a freak of nature I would like to apologize and if you see me in person please dont point it out.

 

 



{April 23, 2008}   Twilight Series

I’m OBSESSED. I can’t describe it. I think something is wrong with me.

 

If you’ve read them then you understand and realize what i’m going through. for those of you who havent…there’s no way of explaining it.



{April 15, 2008}   Greatest Trip Ever

That might be a little over the top and it might not have actually been the greatest trip ever. But to me, my senior spring break couldn’t have been better in any other place besides memphis.

 

I went to a skillet concert thursday with Jesse M. on Beale St. @ the New Daisy Theater and it was awesome. I must say that the cello player was my favorite. He was incredible and totally made the band.  Friday night a bunch of us went to see Prom Night. Pretty good movie but not as scary as I would have liked. It was very jumpy though. Then all 9 of us went to IHop at around midnight. It was a lot of fun. What was weird, since it was such a small town, people kept coming in that we knew. 

Then the next day I woke up and met some friends to watch a movie we have been wanting to see together for a long time and we finally got to do it so that was fun. After that I went back to the Woodards’ house and got ready for the greatest night ever. We left and went to Hard Rock on Beale St. and then headed to the Redbirds Game. They won >YAY!< and there were fireworks at the end. It was so awesome cuz they played the song “Walkin In Memphis” and it was kinda sad at the same time because me and Maddi were leavin the next day. Well after the fireworks ended, we headed over to Bigfoot to get some dessert. Dustin got this s’mores thing where he could roast his own marshmellows and Jesse got the deep dish cookie. Ashlin, Maddi, Karlie, Kelsey and myself all split The Yeti: 18 scoops of ice cream with thousands of toppings. Ok, not thousands but there really was 18 scoops! Needless to say we didn’t finish it all.

 

We all went back to the house and decided to make a video.  It turned out interesting… If you want to watch it, It’s on Jesse’s blog…www.jmoffat.wordpress.com

I thought it was pretty funny and we were up till 4 finishing it up. Watch and let me know whatcha think!

 

Conclusion: Great trip and it was extremely difficult to come home.

 



{April 10, 2008}   Finally Here

Well I have finally arrived in good ole memphis.

Left this afternoon around 1:30-ish and got here around 9ish. Got to the woodards’ house and now i’m just hangin out. It feels so good to back here with all of them. I have some plans set for this week and will let ya know what happens!



{April 5, 2008}   Movies and Flat Tires

Last night a bunch of us got together and went to see Leatherheads with George Clooney and John Krasinski from The Office (which was my main motive to see it).  I get there early and Ian, Tyler and I go in and get some seats expecting it to be sold out. Matt and James get there and all we were waiting on then was Mackenna. All of a sudden she calls me and says…

 

“I wrecked my car.”

 

Yes she did. Not bad luckily. And plus she was right outside the movie theater. So she came in and watched the movie (which was pretty good but not great) with us and then we went out to inspect her car. She slashed her tire and part of her bumber came off a screw, which is easily fixable (says Ian, cuz it’s not like I know). The boys changed her tire and I held the umbrella so they wouldnt get wet :)

I did what I could, ok?

 

Now I’m just counting down the days until Memphis and I meet again: just 4 days…….

 

 



{April 3, 2008}   Spring Break

4 school hours until I am officially on spring break.

And approximately 6 days until I leave for Memphis.

I am so excited! I plan on going to a skillet concert with pretty much all my favorite people from TN.

I have never wanted a weekend to go by so fast in my entire life.

Oh, and Happy Birthday Jesse!!!! 18!! (even though I’m about 4 hours early) :)
