| A VERY busy past couple of days... |
[21 Jun 2007|01:02am] |
Well... it all starts on Monday... I went to see Ocean's 13 w/ Meghan that afternoon... and then I had promised Jess on Sunday that I would see a movie w/ her the following day. She really wanted to see "Knocked Up" so we were gonna go to the 9:55 showing of that... but... the people who sold tickets checked I.D. so, when Jess want to get the tickets when i was in the bathroom, they wouldn't see her the other one unless they had my i.d. and since I'm only 16... we ended up seeing the only other movie that hadn't started yet... Ocean's 13. But, it worked out. I still love that movie even if i've seen it 3 times... George Clooney/Brad Pitt is love! : )
Yesterday (Tuesday) Meghan, Claire, and myself got to go to the JOHN MAYER CONCERT IN KANSAS CITY! It was so freaking awesome! We all had so much fun! We left Lincoln around 1:45 PM... and returned @ 3:45 AM : ) It was seriously awesome, though! I didn't know a ton of the songs, but I still very much enjoyed it. And, we had really good seats. It was just a ton of fun! After we returned to Lincoln Meghan and myself spent the night at Claire's house. It was a fun day!
The Girls!
John himself!
Now, today, we woke up @ noon, Claire showered, and then we were getting ready to head to my house to meet up w/ matthew and hang out and stuff... and I realize I don't have my keys to my car. I realized a while back that I didn't have my keys in my purse, but i didn't think anything of it b/c Claire's mom was driving us to kansas city... so why did i need my keys if i wasn't driving... but I didn't put together the fact that i had to drive to Claire's house... stupid! So, I had to call matthew and get him to come pick us up... I felt so bad!
We went to check and see if my keys were in Claire's mom's van, which was @ meghan's house... they weren't there... so, we decided to worry about it later and head to my house... there we played supersmash brothers until my brother moved so we could play basketball. Claire and I dominated Matthew and Meghan! Twas awesome (but also EXTREMELY hot!!!)
Then, Matthew and myself had to pick up my brothers and drop them off at places... I felt so bad about making him run my family around, but he seemed ok w/ it... Then we came back to my house and played the piano and stuff... it was kind of fun : ) Afterward we went to Matt's baseball games (which his team won both! sweetness!) Then I went to get my car from Claire's... she had called me earlier and said she found my keys sitting on the trunk of my car... they were NOT there before, but i don't really care about how they turned up so long as they did... that was a SCARY situation. Then Matthew and myself went to the park for an hour until he had to head home. it was a very stressful/fun/enjoyable day!
So yes, things have been kind of hectic... I'm looking forward to a good night of sleep!

| Ocean's 13!!! |
[18 Jun 2007|05:35pm] |
Ok, I've seen the movie Ocean's 13 twice now, and I love it so much!!! 11 is still the best (and I haven't seen 12 yet), but I really did love this installment! George Clooney is so hot! And I think he has about the best voice EVER!!! Plus, Brad Pitt is so dreamy! (I don't like him as a person... after the whole "jennifer angelina" thing, but still... good looking guy!)... And, I'm pretty sure I'm in love w/ the Danny/Rusty pairing... they're just like too perfect together. So much chemistry... if you watch the movie you can see all that stuff!
haha, when i saw it w/ Claire we assigned ourselves to a charcter.
-Myself: Danny Ocean
-Claire: Rusty Ryan
-Meghan: Blonde Whore/Linus Caldwell
it was SO FUNNY when Linus went to seduce that blonde bitch... we were like "omg, meghan's getting it on w/ herself... and her dad just walked in" too funny!
but yeah, totally obsessed w/ that series now! just some good fun stuff! : )
|
|
| So things were kind of different... |
[18 Jun 2007|05:10pm] |
Ok, Saturday I went out w/ Matthew. We went miniature golfing... I don't really like mini golfing all that much, but I'd go... I didn't care what we did so long as we did it together. We played the blue course... I got 4 holes-in-one! (3 in a row, then a fourth one)... It was so awesome! I ended up getting par for the whole thing. Go me!!! (I beat Matthew SO BAD! YES!!!) Then we went to eat @ Mamasitas. It was REALLY good. yum! Afterward we went on a walk in the park by my house and then sat down on our bench...
well, the night was going well... he was telling me about how he was upset w/ Sam and everything. I was trying to be a good friend and listen and offer my support... after he finished talking I tried to switch topics and cheer him up... somehow I wound up talking about the scrap book and then... idk... I just went off on this long very exhuberant tangent... and then he stopped me and told me that I was being annoying. It was like a shock to the system. I got really quiet and was trying to recover and keep things light and easy... but all I really wanted to do was go home... I just felt so embarrassed... and kind of angry... i wouldn't tell my boyfriend that he was being annoying... that just really stings! And so he was talking about how he didn't want to leave... and I said what I was supposed to... but really I was thanking God that I got to go home... it was hard playing it cool. (and it was just my luck that the one time his curfew gets extended a half hour is when i don't want it to)...
I kept trying to convince myself the whole night and next day that i was fine w/ what he said and that I just needed to move on... holding a grudge wouldn't be good for anyone... but it was different from when I was mad @ him b/c he hadn't talked to me for 3 days... i was really upset and hurt... I mean I was probably making a mountain out of a mole hill... but... that comment really made me think "so, does he think i'm annoying all the time? Does my personality bug him? If he doesn't like me for who I am, does that mean that we need to part?" and I've never questioned whetehr I could see us lasting in the long run... but as bad as it sounds, it gave me this doubt... which is scary... and even now when I think about him, I'm kind of uncomfortable... like i'm not sure if i want to go back to that park bench and stuff... it just really hurt me... but he sent me an e-mail the next day apologizing for his behaivor. It was sweet:
i just wanted to send a note saying sorry for some things i said last
night. especially when i said you were being annoying. it wasn't nice
at all, regardless of how i was feeling. i understand you were just
tryig to get me to laugh after, jeez, it must have been like half an
hour where i was just moping about things that honestly don't matter
anymore. afterward i felt like i was involving you in a feud that had
really nothing to do with you, and i could tell you were a little
uncomfortable, then when you tried to change the subject to lighter
areas of life, i was still kind of mopey, and lashed out at you. i
felt really bad like right after i said it, but for whatever reason,
probably some sort of egotistical bigheadedness, i didn't really say
anything. but it bugged me the rest of the night, and you didn't
really seem the same either. im really sorry, all you were doing was
trying to cheer me up and i just kind of tried to take you down with
me, i suppose - it was really horrible thing to do, and i can't
believe i could be so cold like that. i really do have a great time
with you, and i really appreciate your trying to get me happier, after
all, i'm pretty sure im a funner person to be around when im happy. i
was just so frustrated, especially after wednesday; i just don't know
what to do...i really appreciate your listening to some things that
happened before you knew or cared who i was. can you forgive me? i
love you more than i can possibly express, and i wouldn't want to do
anything to hurt your feelings...my eyes are tearing up just writing
this - you really are the best thing that's happened to me, lindsey. i
love you so much, and i'm really sorry. maybe i'm just fretting over
nothing, but i feel just hyper-sensitive recently to things, i don't
know why, i swear my eyes are going to be all puffy now... but i just
feel some things really hard, and the wednesday thing just kind of
started a spiral downward, god i don't know whats wrong with me...i'll
be fine, don't add this to your already long list of worries, i just
need to talk to someone who'll understand, that's why i'm sending you
this email that's way too long. im sorry for the ramblings, it made me
feel much better, i just don't understand myself sometimes. maybe it
wasn't a big deal to you, but it was to me and i just wouldn't feel
right about not saying anything. sorry about the volume of the email,
i just found it hard to express myself.
love you
matthew
so yeah, that was kind of rough and weighing me down... I just wanted to get my feelings down about it... anyway, lighthearted stuff to follow!

| The consequences of being distracted by me... |
[10 Jun 2007|06:17pm] |
Warning: close proximity may cause distraction and/or loss of
reasoning and higher thinking abilities!
How do you know if you've been infected? Luckily there are a number of signs:
1.) phone bills are outragiously high due to text-messaging
2.) gravity points toward 3116 pecos rd
3.) that gravity is stronger than that formed when sam cries
4.) forgetfulness (see, i told you it wasn't my fault!)
5.) birdbaths, trees, and popcorn never look the same again
6.) cameras flashing can be oh so beautiful
7.) said camera causes mayhem online with a single phrase
8.) random shirtless people sit at your picnic table and start up conversation
9.) baseball games are cut short as if by magic
10.) time flies
11.) birds nest above one's head
12.) you walk in front of a car (see, again, not my fault :) )
13.) mario kart ceases to exist as a game and becomes war
14.) blue shells make you want to throttle something (or someone)
15.) "video games" means something totally different
16.) the word "Chicago" brings back more memories of buses than sightseeing
17.) an andy is a unit of time
18.) you stay up into the wee hours of the morning emailing
19.) you decide to spend even more time in close proximity to me
(remember, you tape this to your head.), and...
20.) you LOVE every minute of it!
...
If diagnosed, your chances of reemergence into normality is very low.
in fact, you may be unable to do so, owing to the fact that you like
where you are, in which case you, too, are most likely infected. (if
infected, have the one from whom you received this condition photocopy
their forehead. then, tape the photocopy to your forehead and try to
avoid spreading the condition farther)
...
"um, lindsey, i think i'm sick...or just crazy...btw, you wouldn't
happen to know the cure for this condition is, would you?"
...
The only way to treat this condition is by immersion - just spend more
time with the person, and before you know it, you won't even notice
anything anymore. in fact, you will probably feel better after a time.
...
"um, lindsey, i already feel good when i'm with you, does that mean...?"
...
yes, that means what you think it means - you too, are infected.
...
"no cure, none at all. i suppose i should feel upset, but strangely
enough, i feel filled with joy...i...am...happy!"
...
thank you for breaking me out of my shell, you asked to describe the
consequences of being with you, and, i listed them, and, well, as i
look them over, it all seems ok - surely an occasional injury from
mario kart is worth it, huh? It's definitely a joy to be around you, i
really mean it - all these things are kind of true, but i'm sure i
contributed at least half of them, so if anything, it's been quite
mutual...
i hope i fulfilled your expectations for this email, i wasn't really
sure what you had in mind, and i hope i didn't come down too hard on
you, it felt like walking a tightrope there, cause it seemed like you
wanted me to give you a hard time. i think i managed to do just that,
though tastefully. but i really do enjoy having you in my life,
lindsey (again, cliche-ish, but true) it's such a joy just being
around you. when i see your smiling face, i can't help but smile too.
Thank You, so much! I love you, Lindsey!

| So... |
[10 Jun 2007|11:43am] |
Well, last Sunday I found out that Meghan was a cutter. That was really a shock to my system. I knew that she was struggling on and off w/ some form of depression, but I never realized that it went THAT far! Needless to say, I was very freaked out! This past week I've spent some time every day w/ her... My frame of mind was that "if she was talking to me, she couldn't be hurting herself"... So this whole past week has kind of worn me out... But, I'm glad I was able to be there for her!
Yesterday Meghan left for a week in St. Louis for some cult convention or what not... But after she finishes this, she'll officially be done w/ challenge. I'm so happy that she's getting away from them. The group was making her miserable!
Matt had a baseball tournament at Optomist yesterday, and since I hadn't been to any of his games yet, I decided that I'd hit the one @ 2:30... I texted Matthew inviting him to come b/c I hadn't seen or heard from him since Wednesday and b/c I didn't want to sit all by myself (my mom was 2 nick's game acrossed town @ the same time). The Hawks ended up losing and getting run-ruled... but Matt played well... which is about the best I can hope for.
Afterward Matthew and I got a shake and went down to the park and just talked and hung out. It was really nice. We always have so much fun! That's my favorite thing to do, just sit and talk and enjoy each other's company. He's so sweet! I just love him!
Us at the Park!
Sam invited me to go to a movie w/ her, so we went to see the 9:50 showing of "Gracie" @ East Park. Surprisingly, I really liked the movie! It was a really sweet story. Although, the girl, Gracie, really had some anger issues! She acted like the bastard child of Dan Davis and Sam... yikes!
Overall it was just a really good day... (oh, i also finished my book "Everyone Worth Knowing" that morning too... It's good book!)
Here's "poem" that Matthew e-mailed to me earlier in the week b/c he figured I might need some cheering up after the news of Meghan's problem... He's so sweet! and strange...
How Should I Know?
- A "Poem" by Matthew Shea
How should i know what to put in the subject line? jeez, the
computer's getting pushy - first it asks for my username, then my
password, then a subject for each and every one of my emails? Goodness
knows how difficult it is for me to come up with them! Now i have to
come up with a witty, humorous subject line for this email, what's a
matthew to do?
...
How should i know what to think of rain?
There was lots of rain here, we got an inch and a half - too much in
just an hour. Then again, i know that in four or five weeks i'll be
complaining about how dry it is, and how we haven't gotten rain in
forever.
...
How should i know what bird baths are for?
What are bird baths for, anyway? birds don't take baths in them, they
use them as public toilets.
...
How should i know the point of grass?
Have you ever wondered why we grow grass in front of our houses (and
behind them too). why grass? what makes it so special? what if all the
grass revolted against us? after all, we water it so it can grow so we
can chop it down to water it some more.
...
How should i know the reason for trees?
trees are really peculiar, come to think of it, just grass on
steriods, cause we do the same thing to them (well, we don't mow them
down, but we tend to prune them up (bushes too, right?))
...
How should i know why people go to see dumb movies?
The dumber the movie the more people tend to show up - who came up
with the idea of movies anyway? if you think about it, it's rather
absurd, really. We spend $7 to sit and watch a bunch of people play
charades while we consume unheard-of amounts of soda and popcorn, then
leave before the credits play so we don't get to find out their names.
...
How should i know why everything that tastes really good is so bad for
you?
no seriously, popcorn is the best munchy snack, but we're really
eating an exploded corn kernel with more salt and butter on top than
corn underneath.
...
How should i know these things? or more aptly, WHY should i care?
if you have any answers at all, or any questions of your own, (the
answer to the question is "no, lindsey, i'm not high, just in a
particularly pensive and jovial mood") don't hesitate to respond.
...
How should i know if i love you? - now there's a question i KNOW i
have an answer for!
Love You, Lindsey!
~matthew
...
ps -just thought these thoughts would liven your day
pps -and shame on you for wondering what the answer to the last
question is
ppps -oh, for both of our sanity, maybe your response shouldn't be in
question form (or answer, for that matter)
i'm not sure when i can get back on the computer, but maybe i'll just
call ya up a little later...

| Tonight was... entertaining to say the least |
[31 May 2007|12:23am] |
Ok, well while my day was rather uneventful, tonight was a nice contrast. I went over to meghan's to just hang out b/c i was bored... totally casual... I also brought this sticker journal that i wrote in for like a couple months @ best... and we counted how many times i mentioned matthew (the pronouns in reference to him count as well), and it was 276 times! Holy crap! I need to get a life... but some of the stuff is so cheesy... but I need to give myself a break... I was still pining for him @ the time...
Anyway, meghan and I joke around for a while... @ about 9 sam calls me and asks me to go w/ her to see Delta Farce @ East Park @ 9:40... since meghan didn't care, and we were only killing time I agreed. On my drive down there I saw this really huge truck... and idk who was driving... but there was this mexican guy in the back seat that would not stop staring at me... and he was giving me this "i'm hitting on you" wave... it was SO FREAKY.. and seriously, he wouldn't stop staring... I was so freaked out... yikes!
I pulled up to East Park, met Sam, we got tickets, and sat down in the theatre. Now, earlier in the day we spent about 90 minutes texting each other, and Sam told me that Matthew told her that he was coming back friday. This upset me b/c matthew had yet to tell me when he was coming back. So, Sam decided that she wanted to mess w/ his mind, and we sent him all of these texts telling him that either i was upset/hated him and that sam was hurt/offended... it was rather entertaining... we did this for the first hour of the movie... (it was MUCH more entertaining that the movie)... Sam kept making fun of matthew and i for what we said to each other (once i stopped pretending to be mean) but i didn't mind... : )
here were a few cute messages from him:
-What? why would i lie? i really do miss u! u have no idea how much i want to get back. ur just the best person to be around. love u, even if you hate me...
-I really do miss you too. really want to get back and see u again! i love u lindsey!
-No, actually i'm turning off my phone now. good night, lindsey. (i suppose u better tell sam i say g'night to her too) i love u (that's just 4 u though!)
Awww! I miss him so much! I really can't wait until he gets back on Saturday! But yes, that was my evening... kind of crazy...
|
|
| ...I'm getting rather impatient |
[30 May 2007|01:15pm] |
Ok pretty much everyone is leaving me or has left... Meghan and Claire BOTH (it was supposed to be just meghan) leave for sky camp tomorrow... I mean that's not a very long deal, just 3 days-ish, but still... they'll be gone!
Matthew is coming home God knows when... freakhead... I really miss him. It's been about a week since we last talked (a brief text message every other day hardly counts) and it'st starting to get to me. I just wish i knew when he was coming back. What kind of people leave for vacation w/o knowing when they're going to return? That makes NO SENSE AT ALL to me.
Now I'm just very bored @ home. Yesterday I got a new swim suit. It's very cute, and when I'm in it, it doesn't immediately make me hate myself. And that my friend, is not an easy accomplishment. Speaking of hating myself... I've been going through a really rough time w/ the whole weight stuff... I just hate the extra blubber... So I'm really going to work hard and get on top of that this summer. My goal is to be a size 6 and to get rid of the love handles... ew, so gross!
Happier subject now: I'm in love w/ the Office! Omg that show freaking rocks! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ryan... such a cutie! So I pretty much hate that I have to wait until september to see the 3rd season... but I'm really loveing the show! So yeah, now i think i'm going to be really lazy and just mess around on the computer doing nothing productive, yet kind of fun. Later!
|
|
| Ok... so I guess I really suck @ writing in this thing... |
[28 May 2007|12:28am] |
I really should start actually writing in this thing... As of last Wednesday, I am OFFICIALLY IN SUMMER! It is wonderful! Right now I'm kind of going through a rough time... I tried on my bathing suit, and omg I just look terrible! I hate myself for letting my body look that way. So, my goal is to get myself into shape this summer... hopefully I'll be able to stick w/ it and actually get to the point where I see some results...
My boyfriend, Matthew, is out of town for God knows how long... (who leaves on vacation w/o knowing what day they plan to return? honestly...) but he said it would be from 9-14 days... today is day 4... I really miss him!
Tonight I went w/ Sam to see Shrek 3. That was... interesting. I didn't love it, but I wasn't completely disappointed... It was nice to see Sam again. She's gotten a lot better. She was really mean for a few months... hm... well... idk... I'm just glad that she seems to be back.
I know this is really short, but I don't know if I feel like doing a whole "this is everything that's happened since I last wrote" b/c it's been A TON! but I guess I'll just give a brief run down:
-I went on vacation to Maui
-Went on Chicago trip for band
-Matthew asked me out (April 17th)
-Went to District Music Contest
-Went to Prom
-Went to the Senior Graduation
-Finished Sophomore Year
So yeah, it's been kind of crazy! Hopefully I'll be more faithful to this thing this summer! xoxo! ~Lindsey

[11 Feb 2007|09:49am] |
Ok, so back to Thursday. Overall it was a rather dull day. The game was pretty boring. There were hardly any people there. The only clarinets were Claire, Meghan, Melanine, and myself. So I was pretty much the only one you could hear playing, but it was ok b/c I'm pretty much amazing! lol, jk! Claire's friend Quyhn hung around us during the game. She can be kind of rude. I don't make fun of people until I know them real well and am friends with them. She doesn't seem to mind making fun of people she barely knows. She told me, "I love this part of your hair, but I hate this." That statement made me feel bad. I don't really like her. The girls ended up losing. I drove Claire and Quyhn home, then I dropped off Meghan as usual. Around 10:30 or so I got a text message from Matthew who was at the honor's thing saying "Save Me". That made me laugh.
Friday at school was rather uneventful. Sam and I hung out and stuff, but I missed Matthew. When making plans to see a movie that night we decided to invite Matthew to come with us. We really wanted to hear all about his "honor's experience".
At 6:30 we all met at Don and Millie's. Immediatley after seeing Matthew I noticed he got a hair cut. It's really short and makes him look kind of silly. It'll take some getting used to, but I still find him adorable. (wow, I have it bad) We all sat down to eat before heading over to Edgewood. We caught the 7:25 showing of "Because I said So". It was so funny watching Matthew react to the movie. I was sitting in between them, and Sam was constantly telling me how hot the guy was, and Matthew was leaning over to tell me what he thought was going to happen and make some other humours jokes. It was fun. Plus, Omg Matthew was wearing cologne, and it smelled REALLY good!
But midway through the movie Sam turns to me and says, "Matthew got a haircut." And I was taken aback, "You JUST noticed?" "Well, I don't pay attention to details." And I just give her a look because she does notice details, "Well, I don't notice DETAILS with Matthew." That just made me laugh, and I turned to Matthew and told him that Sam just noticed he had gotten a haircut. He was surprised that she hadn't noticed sooner as well... I mean it was VERY obvious he had gotten a haircut! But that's ok, I'm the one who likes him, not her. (for which i'm thankful)
After the movie I came home and talked to Meghan on the phone. I ended up falling asleep while we were talking. I woke up the next morning and couldn't figure out why i was still in my clothes from the previous night. I felt really bad. Meghan and I hung out during the day Saturday. It was rather uneventful. I did get a new coat. I'm no longer turning into a bird! Yay! My mom, grandma, and myself went to see "Catch and Release" last night. It was really good. Plus, the main guy was SO HOT! wow!
My parents agreed to let me have the clarinet party before our Winter Concert. So, when I got home from the movie I felt the urge to clean. I think I stayed up until 2 cleaning. I'm not done, but my closet looks NIGHT AND DAY better!
Today should be rather dull. Tonight we're going to grandma's for dinner to celebrate my dad's 42nd birthday (which was on Friday). I think that's all I've got for now. Will write more later! xoxo!

[07 Feb 2007|04:56pm] |
Hm... let's see... so I found out Sunday night that my best friend from grade school, Kelsey, drinks... so now out of my 2 close friends from Cathedral, one drinks, and one is a lesbian cutter suffering from unrequinted love to the nth degree... ACK! So yeah, needless to say that i was slightly overwhelmed by the whole experience! I ended up talking to Katy about her problems until 2 AM monday morning... I was pretty much dead Monday morning at school... When I got home i got on the computer and talked to meghan and messed around... She went to dinner @ 6:30ish... I slept from then until 9! It was crazy! Then i went and talked to my mom about the Kelsey and Katy things... I think it's good i told her, it makes me look responsible, makes her feel included in my life, plus then she will be confident that if i ever have issues I can go to her... It makes me feel better.
Yesterday, Tuesday, was a rather unique day... I was selected to take the AMC math test @ school, so I got out of 1st and 2nd period (band and chem) to go take that... Matthew and I sat together, so that was cool! : ) The test was freakishly hard... wow, it made me feel so dumb! (I wanted to keep it so matthew could show me how to figure it all out! but they picked them up...) The rest of the day was ok... nothing too eventful... After school Matthew pretty much hung out w/ me for a while b/c he had Math Counts @ 4 but didn't want to get there really early... He gave me a ride to my car, but b/c i was taking Katy home and she didn't know where i parked he had to take her as well... so we had to be somewhat discrete in our conversations... but it was still fun! : ) He heard this noise on the radio and thought it was his phone, got out his phone to check and realized no one had called him... i then got out my phone, saw ashley had called, checked a few other things, then decided to call matthew... he's like "oh, my phone really is ringing this time" and he kept saying "Just watch, it'll be Mitchell... Mitchell you better hurry if you want a ride" and then he sees that it's me and I just burst out laughing... haha twas fun!
Katy said that she was going to beat him up if he didn't ask me to prom... she can see that we like each other just from being in the car w/ us once... kind of freaky... i just hope she doesn't do anything weird to creep him out... she said "he better not be stupid... b/c after last time" (she was referring to my time w/ James... wow did that not turn out well... ew, glad that's behind me!) So i went to Katy's after school... It was really boring... we just kind of did homework and stuff... They went to eat dinner and didn't even ask me to eat w/ them... I just sat there... it was so rude, but w/e! Lol, Katy and I went downstairs after she ate dinner, and I went to check my phone to see when I could leave, and I notice that I missed a call from Matthew Shea just five minute prior... so i dial his number and said "Matthew, did you just call me?" "Yeah, I was wondering why you had called me at 3:36" and I said, "um, Matthew... that was when i called you in your car... remember... we were both there" and he just laughed and said "oh yeah, now i remember" and said he'd see me at the game later... lol wow... that made me laugh!
So I went to go pick up meghan early b/c I wanted to run through Taco John's to get something to eat before the game b/c the Vrchota's didn't feed me... lol once we pull out of Taco John's Meghan goes "Isn't that a blue echo?" and so i hurry up and get right up behind the car, we check the license plate, and it's matthew! HA! So I drove like super close behind him for a while... I got meghan to call him a few times but he didn't answer (I wanted to yell @ him for picking up his phone whilst driving! haha!) So after he switched lanes i sped up and cut in front of him! It was fun! Then at pius we were laughing about it... this morning he told me that he wanted to put on his brakes and mess w/ me, but he said he was afraid i might hit a patch of ice or something and then I'd freak out and he'd feel bad... he didn't want to have to drive us to the hospital...
The game was a lot of fun. Sam and I discovered that Matthew and Mr. Murphy are trying to break us up (and Chris thought we were lesbians when we said that... wow... he so doesn't get us... we're not lesbians... jeez... Chris...) So we were nailing him left and right due to his friendship w/ mr. murphy... haha SO MUCH FUN! Pius boys ended up losing to Southeast in basketball... but it was kind of close... like 53-60 something... idk somewhere in that range...
After the game Matthew was behind us trying to get out of the pius lot... I was trying to get him to notice Kealey and Brandon in the car to our left but he was being stupid and couldn't figure out what i was pointing at... so i called him... then he got it... duh dur! After dropping meghan off and going to the grocery store, i went home and remembered that matthew forgot to remind me to bring my band uniform to turn in at school the next day (today) and so I thought i might text him... but it was like 10:30 and i figured he probably had gone to bed so i didn't...
I show up at school this morning, go to talk to him (we were really early... sam wasn't there yet) and he forgot to bring his uniform... I felt bad... haha, funny! It was kind of nice b/c I was doing my lit homework before school... so i was reading the story before i had to answer these 5 questions... and once matthew got done explaining physics he was like trying to talk to me... I think he said i could move over closer, but i was reading and didn't know for sure if he was talking to me... and then he asked me if i saw him last night @ highway 2 after the game and i told him that i didn't... i swear he took the other way home... but yeah, it was nice having him have to be bored while i do homework rather than the other way around! It was kind of cute...
The rest of today has been dull... Mrs. Davis has been sick for 2 days in a row! It's awesome! I heard a rumor today that she spent $20,000 on that fashion show, and I know she didn't make that much money... she could get fired! That'd rock! lol, i just got on parent conncet and the pop quiz that i should've gotten a 60% on I got a 100%... idk how that works, but i'll take it... So yeah... tonight's God Teen's is w/ Father Minke... it'll be boring but w/e... tomorrow we have a game but matthew and sam won't be there which'll be sad... hopefully i'll still have fun... Sam and I are going to see "Catch and Release" on friday, that should be fun! Welp, I'm going to conclude now! Shall write more later! Kisses!

| Whoa! Guess I forgot about this thing... |
[04 Feb 2007|04:02pm] |
Ok, so hm... I'll pick up w/ Thursday... So thursday night was a Varsity Girl's basketball game, so we had pep band... Sam had to work, Michael had crew, Kealey was @ Hasting's for honor band, so it was just matthew and myself rank leader wise... Earlier that day around 5:30 i went to Meghan's to watch Tuesday's Gilmore Girls (Luke's making a comeback! YEAH!) and afterward her parents gave us money for food and kicked us out practically... we picked up some juice stop and headed over to pius... I'm pretty sure we arrived @ 6:40 for a 7:15 report... twas insane! (and SUPER COLD!) Well Matthew eventually shows up about 10 people into my "guess the person walking inside the door game"... lol "oh, that's matthew" and i receive a weird stare... fun times! Matthew and I were practicing his part of the Entertainer... we were having fun... Then we sat together throughout the whole game... and talked... and flirted... it was fun! : ) Just a very happy night! (although i had to get gas @ 10:20 in the freezing cold and was up till 12:50 doing homework... but it was so worth it!)
Friday was spirit day... we had no breakfast food. I ate a popsicle. I tried to get sam to bring me food b/c band was a study hall so the seniors didn't have to be to first period on time.... but she just missed my message... Well the day was rather uneventful until lunch... @ lunch Sam and Chris were talking about something, and I wanted to know what. Sam says, "I'm not allowed to tell you." and b/c it's Sam I dismiss it (b/c she'll get really pissy about these type of things) and Sam asked Chris if he was going to be @ the game... he said no... and idk how that related to the secret, but it had something to do w/ it... then during lunch sam moved over to tell chris something... i wasn't allowed to come... but she was making sure I didn't hear, but they didn't really seem to mind all that much about the other people around them... so I'm thinking that it might have something to do w/ myself and matthew...
after school matthew asked me to sit w/ him during the pep ralley... it was cute (although he always seems to not mention i'm his friend "well none of my friends are here" and i'm just like "hello! I'm standing right here" and he's like "well obviously you're here" haha... i guess our minds don't work the same way... which is a good thing!) We got michael to sit w/ us for the staff vs student football game... he was acting really weird... he'd get into the game and then all of a sudden zone off... it was strange... after the game i got matthew to come w/ me to the band room, then we talked at his locker (again... he just went there after school... wth?) and then he offered to drive me to my car! : )
i was having a taco inn nacho craving so meghan, claire, and i got some of those before the game, we showed up early, we played the "guess who's coming in the door game", then matthew showed up, then sam showed, once we got to the stands michael showed up... idk... the game was ok... we barely beat Aurora... after the game Sam said she was going to drive on her own to VI... this made me think of lunch and about chris and sam and so i thought "well maybe something'll happen"... but nothing did... VI was fun... not one of the better ones, but still enjoyable... i had more fun thursday night than friday (but that's b/c i spent more time w/ matthew thursday...)
so now i'm very confused, hoping sam's secret had something to do w/ matthew and myself, and looking forward to not watching the super bowl! Will write back if anything exciting happens! Kisses! ~Me!

| How Ironic... |
[30 Jan 2007|04:57pm] |
lol so just yesterday i was talking to Meghan about how funny it would be if I had to ride in the car w/ Matthew and Mitch... and today after school Matthew asked me if I wanted a ride to my car (b/c friends don't make friends walk a long way in the cold) and I said yes. Well then he mentioned that his brother would be there too! HA! So Matthew comes w/ me to my locker, (disappears and returns w/ cookies they had in the science room for science club or something), and we walk to his car... I called shot gun but Mitch was already there! Ha! We barely said much of anything.. listening to matthew talk to his brother is amusing! I don't think it works very well...
So yeah, i found that rather ironic... now here's probably the funniest thing that happened to me all day... so my English "teacher", Mrs. Davis, is an incompetent fool who has no right to be teaching sophomore English (I was Mrs. Connealy back!!!!) We spent 40 MINUTES figuring out when everyone was going to give their book report! It was CHAOS! Omg! She's so stupid! And stephen springer was getting an extension on his book report b/c his book was over 500 pages, well today he said he had it done. So Austin goes "Congratulations, but i have a life" and Mrs. Davis heard AND FREAKED OUT! OMG! Drew told Makayla Urban what he said and they both got demerits... Drew kept talking and she freaked and gave him a detention... wow... But she spent forever and couldn't figure out what days people were going... she gave Nick High like 6 different dates... She scheduled me for Feb. 16th when we don't have school... so i got moved to March 5th! ha! That class is the BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME! Mrs. Connealy would MURDER us if we acted like that! She never wasted a minute! Mrs. Davis wastes SO MUCH TIME! I think we've wasted at least a week's worth of class time if not more... she's just so bad! (Mrs. Connealy mentioned to someone that she was going to talk to Mrs. Fraiser about getting us a real teacher... i hope that happens soon!!!!)
so yeah, today was rather comical... all in all i rather eventful day...

| Ok i'm going to try this |
[30 Jan 2007|12:02am] |
Ok, I can't seem to keep a real journal going on b/c I'm way to slow of a handwriter to get all my thoughts down... i end up getting fed up and then abandoning it... so i think i'll try to keep a CPU "journal" if you will...
so yesterday meghan and i were messing around on aim and decided that it would be cool if I could get matthew to come to pius and help us set up for the junior high band concert... i was a little chicken, but decided that i would send him a text and act all nonchalant about the whole ordeal... well meghan and i knew we had to go to pius now b/c I asked matthew and michael to come help... so i go upstairs to play piano for the remaining 10 minutes before i leave to pick up meghan
I get meghan and on about 56th and Highway 2 i have her check my phone in case i missed a text message from sam... she read it but hit some weird button and then said that i had missed a call from matthew... i force her to call him back (she was afraid to talk to him) and we were able to get him to come (even though he said he probably wouldn't b/c he wouldn't be there in time, but i said that was nonsense!) but needless to say he ended up coming!
So we help set up, apparently matthew couldn't get into the building, but mr. murphy pulled up and let him in... "Matthew, what are you doing here?" "Lindsey recruited me" (yes, i AM AMAZING!) So we were setting up... i kind of slammed my finger... matthew laughed and asked me if i hurt my finger, or if i was just waving to the floor... we laughed but it still hurt... then he got all worried, it was sweet! We also had stand rack races... it was fun... until i almost lost control... then he grabbed my stand rack and made us walk together... meanie... (he also performed a stand surgery... that is a very delicate process (he told me so))
So we got done helping out @ Pius (me w/ a few bruises), and Matthew asks us if we want to go to Gateway and get something to eat at the food court. We thought it sounded fun (like i could turn down matthew...) and so we drove over. We go to the food court, get our food, and sit down. I ended up spilling some grease on my jeans so i go running for the bathroom... they were laughing at me... Once the meal was over I tried to distract matthew so that he wouldn't leave... he drew this super sweet picture of a panda and some other stuff on a napkin... this kid's amazing! Then we took turns drawing things... i "drew" a horse... idk if you could really call it a horse though... it looked horrible!
Matthew's Drawing
So we pretty much hung out @ the mall for like 5 hours... it was insane! Matthew kept telling us he was going to leave (like 4 times) but he didn't want to go home and clean and we were more than happy to stay there and hang it... It was pretty much one of the most fun days of my life! Meghan said that he was totally flirting w/ me (omg he was teasing me so much!) and idk i was just very VERY happy! Life is so fun! So yeah, that was pretty much one of the most fun days i've had in a very long time! : )

| Yay for no school! |
[20 Sep 2006|07:19pm] |
Ok, i didn't have school today, and it was awesome! I got up around 7:45 (yeah i slept in almost and hour and half longer than normal! It was great!) And I ate breakfast, messed around on the computer some, nothing too exciting... I worked on my speech that i have to give tomorrow... UGH! Thank the Lord this class is only a semester!
On friday we march in our band uniforms for the first time of the year! I'm pretty pumped! Hopefully this weekend won't be as full of work as the last two!
Tomorrow is the 3 weeks till my birthday point. I'm trying not to be all 'this many days till my birthday', b/c it probably annoys people to no end! We'll see who really remembers come October 12th! I really want a surprise party! Kealey jokingly told me that we'd have a clarinet/my birthday surprise party... that'd be the best! but I don't know what i'm going to do for my sweet 16... probably what i did last year, go out to dinner w/ family and have that be the just of it (although my birthday party and christmas present were combined and my mom and myself went to Chicago... so I guess i did do something!)
welp, not much is new. There's a boring update! I'll be off to God Teens now! xoxo~Zeppy

well my leg is better... not healed, but it holds up ENOUGH to go back to Cross-Country! So yesterday after school, i rejoined the team! I'm surprised that i missed it as much as i did... i detest meets, but i miss the atmosphere that accompanies the sport! It's nice to practice and know that you won't have to run in the meet (gosh, those would make me ill, literally, i couldn't focus on anything but the dread of an upcoming meet!)
nothing else that exciting... marching band uniforms make their grand entrance a week from friday, September 22nd! That'll be interesting... welp that's about it!
ONE MONTH TILL MY BIRTHDAY! xoxo~Zeppy

| My Birthday! |
[28 Aug 2006|10:23pm] |
As of this very moment my birthday is in 44 days! I'll be 16 in 44 days! Look out roads, here i come!
yesterday my grandma ordered my birthday present! It's a Robert Best designed Barbie! I'm so excited! here's a picture of her!

ok, well i'm sick... ugh! I hate being sick! My throat was like killer horrible Friday and Saturday... it's not too bad now... but my nose has decided to make an appearance so... whatever!
My Birthday is in 51 days! Woot! I can't wait to be 16! I wanna drive so freaking bad!
Right now I'm killer board, and should probably just go to bed... but I might stall for a few more minutes.
But oh yeah, on the topic of my birthday, I have begun to form a list b/c I'm sick of getting money... so... dun, dun, da, dah!
Lindsey's 16th Birthday List
1. Robert Best Barbie "Tweed Indeed" $66
2. 1st Season of Project Runway $43
and so far... that's it... I really need to think of ideas... hopefully I'll keep adding to the list for a while! But, I think i know what to tell my grandma! (hopefully she'll buy it, and not tell me that it's dumb!)
That's all for now! Later!

I really wish that I could just live with my grandma! My mom is so mean to me! I'm about ready to cry! I simply asked her if we could swing by Runza on the way to Dave's, she said she didn't have time, so I asked if maybe we could leave a little earlier... BIG MISTAKE! Suddenly it's all my fault that she has to work late... I didn't think 5 minutes would make that big of a difference... but I'm going to try not to cry, b/c I don't need to ruin my make-up... lately she's just been a total bitch to me... I don't think I'll have a very close relationship with my mother when I get older (I don't feel like she cares... she just sees me as a burden that she has to deal w/, and frankly he makes me feel like shit! She's one of the reasons that I suffer from depression.. and right now all I want to do is make her feel as badly as I do, but that is wrong, so I'll just vant to my CPU for a while.) bye!
