a view of the city

Last night we drove around Salem on the hunt for Chinese food. Driving around with friends makes me feel so happy. I know it's dangerous, but we're careful and I love the freedom. Then we went home with our chinese and watched Jackass 2. It was probably the most nostalgic movie ever.

I just got back from the PSAT's and I don't want to think.

like a junkie needs a fix

I can't say the same for school, but it's been a really good week for music. My McFly Deluxe Edition CD came in the mail yesterday, and after waiting for it for two weeks to ship to America from the UK, it was well worth the wait. And then tonight I downloaded Tom Felton's new EP, All I Need, which gives me yet another reason to love him.

I'm rambling, badly. I need a shower.

christmas vacation, here i come

It's only October, and I am already looking forward to weekends and Christmas vacation. As if the world doesn't stress me out enough, I've also got a demanding social life to deal with, one that doesn't understand how to be put on hold. I can't afford to take a day off of school, or else I'll miss a test, practice, or meeting. I start to panic when I lose sight of my organizer. I have PSAT's next weekend, my mom is looking at colleges and cars, and I have no time to do anything anymore.

It's going to be a super year, I can tell.

embarrassment + a loud voice = friends?

Yesterday, Derek informed me that yet another person was added to my fan club. I don't mean to sound like a snob, but it's pretty exciting to think of how many people actually enjoy my company and input.

I'm a chippy!

Things I've learned this week:

• How unreliable the world is the week before my period
• How much I hate junior year already, and it's only October
• To never order stuff off of Amazon.co.uk again, because it takes forever

The highlight of my day was sitting at lunch, reviewing a certain plan with Devon and Vicki, when Krista stole our top secret notebook. All three of us screamed and jumped into action at the same time and Krista never got a peek. :) Then we sat and laughed for fifteen minutes about how pathetic we all are.

"You Bostonians take your sports teams way too seriously."

Last night, Mel and I went to the Death Cab for Cutie show at Boston University. Despite some less than desirable people around us, we still had an awesome time. It was surreal to see them live, I would do it again in a heart beat. Only, next time, with earplugs. :)

Also, an update on my ear: I went to the dentist, and my pain hasn't been because of my wisdom tooth. I went to the doctor's office yesterday and she said it could be an ear infection behind the ear drum. Which is, in all senses, awesome.

Total Sick Count: 2

I will have been in school for a month tomorrow, and already I've been sick twice. I'm going to the dentist today to see if my mysterious fevers on the right side of my face, spontaneous pains in my jaw/ear, and swollen jaw have anything to do with my wisdom tooth. I personally think it's an ear infection, but my mom is determined. I just want some painkillers to make it shut up.
