I Wanted To Be Like You, I Wanted Everything : 8:59 p.m. : December 08, 2003

On the bright side, I found a place that's hiring. As a matter of fact, it's an underwear store. This could be interesting. hehehehe. Me, working at an underwear store. Mrehehe. I can see it now. Maybe I'll get discounts!

Ack, finals week next week. Blech. I guess this is technically called Dead Week this week, when the panic of finals hasn't really set in yet and we are all kind of dead.

Camp reunion maybe scheduled for beginning of Winter Break!!! AAAAhhhh. Talked to Chloe, Ellie AND Shayna today about what we are going to do next summer. I think I am going to do this Teen Service Learning trip to this country in South America, to build houses and stuff. It would be so awesome to do that, especially with people I love so much. I have to sign up pretty quickly though.

I was watching PotC (the DVD is awesome, by the way, totally worth your money) and there was this bit about the premiere. And I saw a girl I know! She walked up to Orlando Bloom, he signed her thing, kissed her on the cheek and she walked away. Perfectly calm. And I was just blown away by the random fact that I knew her. She goes to my school. How weird.

School definitely strange today. Ick. But I must record what I wore, just for posterity, because it was incredibly cool, if I do say so myself. OK, here goes: Wine-colored t-shirt, sweatshirt (school emblem), black lacey-ish skirt, black and white sneakers aaaaand......BLACK FISHNETS WITH RHINESTONES ON THE BACK SEAM!!!! AAAHHHH!!!! It was beyond spiffy. It was way out of the universe of spiffy. Wow. Everyone I either told or showed said it was totally me. Wow. Am I really that cool? I didn't think so. Wow.

OK, for all you people out there who are huge LotR...er....I guess Trekkie equivalents, there is a huge thing in Premiere magazine about the hobbits and Lord of the Rings in general. Not that anyone out there would be interested, of course.

Don't you hate it when they put a really good picture on the back of another really good picture and you either have to decide which one you like better so you can put it on your wall, or you have to Xerox it or something? I hate that. There should be a law against it. Forget the Patriot Act, I want to see some action! Outlaw putting good pictures on the back of other good pictures! Yes!

Also, I have some very mucho coolness just pour moi - I went into the school library after school and they had NEW LOTR BOOKMARKS!!!! So I took what I thought was one of each (total of 10) because the librarian likes me and said I could, but actually I ended up taking two of each (still a total of 10) because they were all double sided and I didn't know that. So I am now the proud owner of 2 sets of RotK bookmarks. Heheh.

I definitely need to make a wishlist, for Hanukkah (which really isn't that big of a deal in my family) or just as a list of things I need to save up for. *Sigh*

Repeating Post-it to self: get job.

Raechel is a senior now, and she told me that she is thinking of moving in with her boyfriend if she ends up going to the college she wants (after she graduates, obviously). It's things like this that really shock me into seeing that she isn't really a kid/teen anymore. She's technically an adult, at least in how she acts and what she does and all that. It's a bit depressing actually. I miss the old Raechel. The one whose house I went to when all the power went out last year and we lit candles and talked all night because there was no power. I sort of miss the one whose car I sat in near the parking lot of my old middle school and cried out all my thought to. I definitely miss the one who I made go see Two Towers with me, who fell in love with Haldir the elf who DID NOT DIE BECAUSE HE LIVED IN THE BOOK. I miss the Raechel that used to call me her little friend. I guess when I outgrew the "leetle friend" term, I sort of feel like I outgrew her a bit too. And I hate it. I miss her so much, because even though I see her, I still love her so much and I feel like she's off somewhere else. I miss the Raechel who trusted me. I miss the Raechel who I used to bum illegal rides off all the time right when she first got her license. Mine and Raechel's friendship got started with her dreaming about me. She had some random dream about me, and told me about it, and we had this class together and we just hit it off, I guess. I miss those days when things were a bit easier, on the Raechel front at least.
