Well...I haven't updated in a reeeeaaaalllly long time and I really don't want to try to fill all y'all in on the last month or so.  So I won't start updating again until the new year...it'll be a resolution...or not. Haha.  I might start writing in my myspace instead.  Hmm...yea.  Well...Bye for now!

Ok since it's been a while since I've updated...I'm just gonna say the highlights instead of a day by day thing.  Becca's house was soooooo much fun!!! Omg!  We stayed up till 6AM watching movies, playing improv, talking...etc fun stuff! (What sound does a pdaradactyl make?  Not all wrappers are safe, just ask the mini twix!).  Last Wednesday was the Fall Concert...good job Razzies! Good job S-time!  Razz had a 2 song quick change, and I was running in my character shoes (1 1/2 inch heels), and I fell and hurt my foot really bad like...I could barely walk but it's ok now.  After the show, Bobby,  Danielle, Michael, Alex, and Lisa came over, and we watched Shrek 2.  The following Friday I went to Tijuana with my family and that was cool.  Sunday my 'uncle' Steve and his wife Lisa came over to our house. We all huing out as a family for a while...that was soooo much fun! I hadn't seen them in like....2 years.  Today was super super fun!  But also pretty sad...I'll tell you the fun part first.  Improv was great!   Morgann and I ran it since our managers weren't able to be there(sick and ortho appt.).  There weren't all the people that make things hard to deal with so it was relatively easy.  Melissa called and the whole team that was there talked to her.  We played 4:05 for the first time in a loooong while, and JT and I collided haha now my wrist hurts.  Now for the bad part...a member of our improv team, Jason, will be leaving us due to his dad being a total ass...he's gonna take him out of SP and his gf, Socks, was really sad....and her dog died too...so bad day for her...poor Socks.  Well I must leave you all now.  Love ya!

Love always,

Man..another full week without updates.  I hate it when I do this...I can never remember what happened on some of the days lol.  Saturday Bobby and I went to a party at my friend Jason's house.  That was fun. We watched Moulin Rouge, listened to music, played "moving people", and the guys fought over a fork...it was a lot of just hanging out.  That was a good respite from real life (haha vocab word!). Sunday I went to the heritage festival at my brother and sister's school for halloween.  I hung out with Taylor and Cathrine most of the time.  Monday (this is the part where I forget) I don't remember what happened.  Tuesday I went to improv and that was ok...Wednesday I went to youth group.  Thursday I went to improv again, but I didn't really do much.  After improv, Danielle came over until the we had to be at the school to perform for Razz, and that went well. Friday after school I went with Bobby and Alex to hang out before the Battle of the Bands which they were playing in.  At the show they were sooooo great!!!It was awesome!!! They were the only band that got asked for an encore, and the people let them play it too.  They didn't win tho. The outcome was up to these judges that were like...catholic older people.  The group that won sucked really bad....but they played up to the judges and said "Jesus loves you all!"  so yea.  They won caza that which sux but theres nothing to do about it.  Tonight I'm going to Becca's house for a sleepover with some totally awesome girls from tennis and Razz.  Anyway, I'd better be going now.  Byes!

Love Always,

Wednesday it rained soooo much!!! Omg, it was sooo awesome!  At school I was all cold and stuff...and I didn't have to go to tennis so that was cool.  After school I went to youth group, and after youth group I danced and stood in the rain w/Andy.  Fun stuff.  Yesterday we had tennis pictures.  I hope the buddy pics come out really well.  Today I went to school, then left school to get a flu shot, then went back to school, then I went home. My brother and I went to the mall to hang out for a while before I had to go to SP's production of Antigone (a lot of my friends were in it good job!!) to take tickets and sell stuff at intermission and stuff.  Yep.  That's it.  Tomorrow I might be going to a party...but I'm not sure.  I think Imma go see the play again too since it's the last show, and I wanna see what changes they make to make it funny.  So now I'm gonna go to sleep.  Ttyl!

Love always,

I found this in Linda's xanga and I thought it was cute so here ya go!

Survival tips from one guy to another:

1. Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house...they run around in their underwear just like we do.

2. Don't cheat on them. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be mud. 

3. Beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the damn hat.

4. Never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.

5. Don't refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.

6. If they slap you hard, you deserved it.

7. Don't be afraid to touch them if you want to. If they're going out with you in the first place, it's because they like being in your arms.

8. If you DO sleep with them, don’t tell your friends that you did.

9. You can be dirty minded in private, really...most of them are not offended by it.

10. Not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.

11. Most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a *****.

12. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts, and a really pretty ring. Even if it's not a serious relationship. (I like that one! Hahaha)

13. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.

14. If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick the **** out of him.

15. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.
16. Never, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.

17. Go to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.

18. You're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents and best friends. Be prince charming to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.

19. Don't flirt with their moms...that's just freaky

20. Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like ****, so be understanding.

21. If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.

22. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend.

23. Don't stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.

24. If they complain that something hurts, rub it for them without being asked.

25. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentlle.

26. Memorize their god damn birthdays. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life.

27. Don't marinade the cologne, but smell good.

28. Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.

29. If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt you more if you draw it out.

30. After you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.

I have a normal post below this one too so if you wanna read that you can.

Love Always,
