[8:35pm] Tomorrow I'm going to Tulsa, where I'm going to take many many pictures and compete at 8:00 am on Saturday.
Whee! Okay, time to concentrate. And go elsewhere.

Today is a snow day. We got about an inch on the road and like 85,528,269 schools shut down. I have to admit, I am
thankful for this snow day because the left side of my head feels all huge and swollen. My throat and my glands..
I'm wondering about tonsils..

[7:42pm] Uhh.. So I put the personal poem up, it's called Look What I've Gotten Myself Into. Don't ask me any questions
about it, please. I'm spouting stuff and it's coming out but I'm not gonna divulge any dirty details. (What's with the
alliteration in this entry? Personal poem, divulge dirty details, spouting stuff... Hmm.) Anyway, this poem may seem
choppy, but I love its rhythm because it's my life and I'm allowed to love its rhythm!
[7:05pm] Tomorrow is Eureka, sigh. I'm kind of sick. My throat is sore and I have a headache and swollen glands. Yucky.
Today was Will's birthday and tonight is Ryan, Lacey, and Christie's 18th birthday party. They all turned 18 this week
so they're just having one party. I am not going because I want to sleep this stupid illness off. I'll write them all
"condolences" notes. Ah.. *passes out.* I wrote a pretty personal poem last night and I'm debating whether to put it
on here or not because people will ask me about it and I don't want them to. Maybe I can just put it out here and if
they ask, I'll just say maybe to everything. Yeah, good idea!

[9:15pm] At 8:02 pm it was 20:02 20/02/2002. Whee! Gallery up for Northwest
in photography. Yeah.

[8:51pm] Two new galleries in photography. Francis Howell is one, and just February miscellaneous is the other.

[3:32pm] I went shopping with my mom and my brother. I also wrote a poem
about Saturday.
[9:14am] Saturday was the WGI competition. We performed an excellent show for the amount of changes we had made (up
until Saturday morning!) When they posted us, we were 4th. Eventually, we ended up 18th (not placing in finals) out of
29 guards. So we'll just clean some more and then perform our hearts out.. I'll put pictures up soon, I think. Okay.

[4:17pm] Happy Valentine's Day! I got the toe x-rayed Monday and it wasn't broken. But it was bruised pretty badly.
Umm.. What else? Tonight I'm going to go to Walmart, and pick up some valentines so that I can give them out tomorrow
or Saturday. Yes, tomorrow or Saturday, because I'm a NONCONFORMIST. (Ha.) I'll probably end up getting the last
package of valentines there. It'll be like Rugrats, birdwatching, or Destiny's Child valentines. Cool, because I want
to be a nerd. Carrie gave me a box of nerds today, so on hers I am going to write "Thanks for the Nerds! 'Nerds for
nerds,' I always say," even though I don't always say that (probably because it doesn't apply to very many situations.)

[4:38pm] Yesterday before the competition we were practicing pulling the tarp so that we could be under the time limit,
but I tripped when it bubbled and I think I broke my toe. It's all purple and disgusting but whatever. Yesterday we
competed very hard and got 3rd, so whatever. Just try better.

[7:54am] I am so nervous. Today is the first winterguard competition I've ever been to/in. I'm so scared. Kris and I
got our uniforms yesterday from Mrs Smothers' house and they're putrid. They're orange and see-through and supposed
to be form fitting, but rather baggy on everyone. Perhaps this is because they took measurements on everyone in like
December, and I know that I have lost much weight since then. So mine fits all right, but Kris's.. hers is just wide
and baggy. Anyone who is of a fuller figure will feel/look like a pumpkin. I like our sashes though.. Well, I was
just updating so that I could tell you that last week's roadblock raised $1175, very proud, yes. I have to get blood
work done this morning, so ciao!
020702
[8:03pm] Yes, new poem is up. I'm just spouting poetry lately. I
think it's because I'm so tired. Yesterday I had practice til 9:00 and I got home and bathed and around 10 I realized
that my oral report was the next day and I needed a visual aid so I was up til midnight and then I had to get up at 6.
Sucked.
020402
[4:36pm] Today Ashley and Everett have been going out for 11 months. Wow. Umm.. Two new poems. Yeah. Written last week. The
recurring theme in these is sort of a personality crisis. Jeez. So young, so confused. That's what reading bits of Self-Reliance by Emerson will do to you. Practice 6-9 tonight.
Yeah.

[1:04pm] I swear my dog is the cutest thing in the world:

[8:20pm] My brother and I just watched The Amanda Show and I really noticed how
skinny she was, and darned if I wasn't worrying that she had an eating disorder of some kind. See what I mean:
[2:52pm] I added two new galleries in my photography section. Both of from December.
[1:07pm] From 8:00am to 12:00pm I was in a roadblock. My little intersection of Kris, her mom, and I made right around
$300. The guard as a whole (with only about 15 people working it) raised around $1000. No final numbers til Monday.

[6:34am] Today is Kris's birthday. Today is also the deadline for the Original Poetry and Literary Scholarship, which
I am entering with Windswept and Tidy. Ahh.. I took pictures of Kris's stuff and I'll post those as soon as I get my
other picture file folders up from December, much less February! Really, you guys.. It's not even 7:00 in the morning
and you're already on my tail to do stuff. I have practice tonight so na-na-na-na-boo-boo thpppp. I wrote a poem last
night and I'll get that up soon* too. Promise.
*Soon is a relative term. Does not exactly indicate today, nor tomorrow. Rather, it would
indicate before the 31st of this month. (ahahah, can't believe you fell for that one!)
