09:05 pm - ITunes Meme-Thing
I was always jealous that other people could do this game. Now I can too! You know the rules:
1. Then the rainstorm came over me and I felt my spirit break
2. Don't mind telling you in my humble fashion that you thrill me through with a tender passion
*3. God, I dreamed there was an angel who could hear me through the wall
4. There'll be no darkness tonight, lady of love, will shine, guiding the light
*5. She's his yellow brick road, leading him on and letting him go as far as she lets him go
6. It's morning, I wake up, the taste of summer sweetness on my mind
*7. It's sad, believe me missy, when you're born to be a sissy
*8. We're living together, but still it's farewell and maybe we'll come back to earth, who can tell
*9. How can I hope to make you understand, why I do, what I do?
10. Don't look sexy, but it just feels right, not too dirty and it's not too tight, why I never threw it out, I'll never know exactly why
*11. I've got every reason on earth to be mad, because I just lost the only girl I had
*12. In other words, just from sitting along in a room reserved for two, a person can develop the flu
13. I love you and I love you and I love you to; Baby will you call me the moment you get there?
14. I finally come to realize that we're all the same; if there's nothing left to loose then there's everything to gain
*15. Cut my life into pieces; this is my last resort
*16. Glass of milk, standing in between extinction in the cold and explosive radiating growth
17. Do not adjust your radios; Turn off your televisions; Put the kids to sleep
18. I've been working a graveshift and I ain't made shit
*19. It's a still-life watercolor of the now late afternoon
20. She can sing with her hands through the bedroom door
I've got a mad weird library.

My desk is beautiful. I am happy with classes, loving all my auditions, but right now I am filled with joy as I gaze at my spotlessly organized desk.
It's breathtaking.

I, er, didn't intend for my last post to be public. My bad, intended to be a vague overdramatic message to self. Definitely an idiot. Summer's going well, hope everyone's enjoying themselves :)

07:28 pm - Question
Did you receive an Honesty Box message that said "I'm sorry. Please forgive me"?
Hoping that everything's well and that everyone is enjoying the night, while I enjoy "Holiday Family Lockdown Mode" AKA Isabel may not leave the house for reasons that remain unclear.
Hoping all is well.

I'm literally checking the Yale application status every time I go online, just in case that there's a glitch and I can find out something before Friday.
It's so sad.

04:38 pm - Bothered (Apologies for a Whining Entry)
Way to go, music world, way to go. I thank you once again for another lovely weekend during which you stomp upon and crush my sense of melodic worth. You choose someone else above me, pretending to look for the correct style and then coach them to sing my way. You audition a large selection of singers from the Boston are and I'm not even in your top half. Thank you, choral community, thank you. I am quickly running out of redeeming experiences within high school singing. That is overdramatic. I am very thankful for the Ziguenerleiben (haha, my attempt) solo. I also apologize for crying the last two days during Madrigals. I'm making everyone around me exceedingly uncomfortable :)
I know I can't have everything I want, but it's still frustrating, very frustrating.
Much Ado went very well.

In English, I Gmailed with Winston. In Math, I made faces and put my hair into funny styles. In Spanish, I took all of Danny's possessions, so that he was left with a binder, one shoe and a tupperware container.
I am a disruptive presence in the classroom.
Additionally, you should all come see 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7PM, 5$. Good stuff.

10:29 pm - Pleasant Summer
I love running at night. I just really, truly love running at night. It doesn't matter how fast I run, I don't worry about sun or cars. I'm simply running, feeling attached to and content with nature. Even the roads I've run a hundred times see mysterious, new and exciting. All the while, there's just a hint of danger behind ever shadow, but I run by them and everything turn out alright. Whatever your athletic skill or interest, I highly recommend it.
I also adore reading in my attic during thunderstorms. While nature beats down on the world outside, I lie curled in my attic, protected by my walls and windows. It makes me feel so warm, safe and fortunate. Fortunate to have a room to call my own, fortunate to have books to tell me of anything I want and fortunate to be able to spend my time as I want to, in this case, curled and reading in my attic.
I love the feel of history beneath my fingertips. Even the most mundane tasks of sorting or labeling still fascinate me, as I know I'm promoting something I love so much. I'm promoting historical research and discovery for future generations. Even if someone never sees one of the documents again, at least I did. I saw corn used as the major draw to a Navy reunion in Norfolk, VA in 1926, I saw the regulations of the scrap wood pile, the hospital slip of the man discharged after contracting syphilis and the incredible control of the media by the army during the nuclear bomb test at Bikini Atoll.
I love wandering the streets of Belmont, Cambridge and Boston, exploring the world and opportunities at hand, trying to find a perfect niche.
But even if I don't find it, even if after all the volunteering I've done hither and yon, I don't find a field or subject I want to dedicate my life to, that's alright. Because I have time and I won't be able to live like this ever again. At least for this summer, I'm just enjoying the journey. Peaceful times.

I like most of the people I know. They're good to me. Thank you :)
I hope everyone's having a fabulous summer and that I'll see most of you at some point. I've returned to the volunteering and college visiting circuits. By this Friday, I'll have visited 8 colleges. I like traveling about. But overall a very peaceful summer. Life continues as it is accustomed to doing.

09:33 pm - These lists suit me
I have got to stop procrastinating.
I have got to quit freaking out about everything performance-related.
I have to find a monologue.
I have to fully appreciate my education.
I have to be nicer to Aidan.
I have to start running again.
I have to read and argue more, nicely of course. I had a 45 minute discussion yesterday about human rights/ equality and it was invigorating.
I have to remember to moisturize the ol' wound. Scarringscarringscarring, ahhhhhh!
I have to write those three highpoint articles.
I have to other silly work.
I have to buy clothing. Especially socks. And jeans.
I have to focus myself on more specific interests. Haha, you know how people like to keep all options open until the last minute? Don't want to 'close any doors' too soon? Well, I sometimes feel like I'm in a hall with lots of doors that I prop open, but then the wind comes a'rushing through and I have to scamper around keeping them from shutting, because if they shut...then the bees won't leave and then the bees'll get me....Gotta keep the doors open, gotta get the bees out....Yum. Terrible, terrible analogies.
And this appears to be a rather narcissistic entry. But, don't worry, I bet you have things that you are currently failing to achieve as well!

12:18 pm - Decisions
I want to go win the 2 mile. But I also want to vomit.
We'll see which side wins out.
Edit: Neither :) Came in second in the 1000 (ever so, ever so close) on a full stomach.
Now my voice is shot from singing like a banshee on the way home. And I may be about to spark an outbreak of disease unseen since the 14th century. All in good fun!

09:52 pm - Paragraphs and coherent ideas are overrated
My feet reek.
I have a page of speech to memorize for Wednesday, when I will be fleeing and then returning to rehearsal via bike.
A prom can be a very, very tacky thing. Ask the pirates.
I have a history test Wednesday?
I feel guilty for withholding certain truths from my parents, but at the same time feel shallowly accomplished and enjoyed the ol' spark of my 'inner Cantabridgian', as I sooooo often refer to it.
I didn't run twice even though I promised Mr Dunn that I would. But I've still been running fast. At least in practice. Cursed two-mile. Cursed race. Cursed quads.
Improv workshop on Friday? I am a flake
I have four Drivers Ed classes yet, will complete them in the next two weeks, but, er, should really learn how to drive.
Damn, I should practice the dance shouldn't I...Mmm, yes, yes, you should....Good notion, Isabel
But, I am genuinely looking forward to this week. Maybe because I am maintaining a solid level of denial about these various activities. Oh well. I'll just have to stay content with my own farce of obliviousness, won't I?

08:14 pm - Let the guessing begin
Nothing more fun than babysitting at home, on a Friday night, with only my 7-year-old brother for company. Who I actually haven't seen since I returned home..... Anywho, here are my twelve (they may be long, I have a lot of time):
1. I legitimately respect you. Sometimes you make me feel a bit demeaned, but, hey, I can be pretty strange. You do some things I don't agree with and you annoy me now and then, but all in all you're are just incredibly kind to me. Thanks for everything.
2. I'm frustrated with how things are going between us right now. I don't appreciate you challenging my intelligence or guilting me. I know that you don't mean to insult me, but sometimes you just seem to push things. I apologize for snapping at you sometimes, in fact, next time I see you I'm going to apologize for something again. But don't pump up the importance of our relationship and then treat me like a puppy. I'm weird and not incredibly worldly, but I'm not dumb. Clearly, you're trying to strike a healthier balance, kudos to you for that, I'm just getting a bit impatient.
3. Awwww, I like you lots and lots and lots. You're adorably kind and sweet and nifty-like. I feel that you could be placing yourself in a better situation than the one that you're in right now, but that's ok. Thank you for being such a marrrvelous friend.
4. Oh heavens, what am I to do with you? I've been trying and trying, but still things remain uneven and awkward. Utter, utter ridiculousness.
5. I've only gotten to know you this year and I appreciate all the time that you've patiently listened to my exhausted ramblings. I'm thrilled that you feel comfortable enough to mock me now, even though you're so quiet most of the time. Thanks for putting up with me :)
6. You are still an illusion in my head. I haven't actually talked to you in several years and I definetly don't harbor any feelings for you anymore, but you still linger. Like that Evanescene song. I like the creepy feel of the band, though they do have so many pitch problems.....But I digress. Anytime I attempt to think about any some sort of relationship, I think back to you. Which is silly, because, haha, it was elementary school, but that's all I really have and I was just so incredibly devoted to the idea of you. For six years, I was going to marry you. I pretty much ruined my relationship with another kid, which I still feel horrible about, as I continued to hold out for you. I have pictures of you and your family, which I've REALLY been meaning to return, but I don't really want to mail them because that would be awk and I never see you. Anyways, I was looking back at these pictures and recalled the emotion I would feel whenever I looked at them. I'd glance over them and just sort of smile to myself. I'd get so incredibly excited if you came over and pace back and forth, fixing my hair. And I appreciated you faults. I knew them, but I wouldn't obsess and would just cherish the time we spent together. We could just spaz and spaz and catch frogs and spaz, while maintaining our adorably childish relationship. This is not an ode to you, you've changed some, but you're still traveling the world, which I thought was so wonderful and still do. It's just as I try to figure out how I want to interact and open up to people, I regretfully muse about how I don't harbor that same loyalty to almost anyone. It's coming along, but you were so incredibly important to me. I apologize for rambling, I'm just very separated from my time in Cambridge. I don't really talk to anyone from my old school, so I feel incredibly distanced from 2/3 of my life, which I find very daunting sometimes. (Liz, if you've got this far, we really ought to see eachother)
Well, I'll add another six if I get bored later. That last one has drained me a bit. Cheers.
PS. #9. Lord almighty, are you lucky that I don't have a *censored* cupcake *end censor* right now. But you won't be so safe forever. Count your days, count your hours, even minutes. Existence is a fragile thing, my foolish friend. A fragile thing.

08:01 pm - I apologize beforehand
Cousin's having a wedding in June and her selections (still to be narrowed down) are most delightful. Perhaps one would make a nifty little prom dress....This post should summarize the fact that I am a 16-year-old girl, damnit, and I'm proud. I just had to share.

11:28 pm - Fun
Lists do not need coherence:
I am really happy, but it's a'gonna fade. Not to become depressive, I just had a very fun night :)
I really loved my grandparents.
I apologize to Jacob for not writing that Highpoint article.
I hate vocabulary.
I resent the fact that we can't go in the hallway costumed after shows anymore.
And the fact that I don't get to submit a bio.
I really need to run.
I'm a bit of a spaz.
English is silly and so are vitamins.
I should stop obsessing over names.
Unless I can bring sweets to less that 50% of my diet soon, I will die before the age of 26.
That's good enough.
