1.10 // just quick because i have 3 more BS sentences to pull out of my arse for essay&anal

yeah.
wore this yesterday to josh's party.

scarf – orchid lane
hat – ??
jacket – deb’s (i usually don’t find stuff there, but this was $9, so whatever)
jeans – target
shoes – DSW

as i said, can't spend time on this - got to write 3 more sentences for e&a, write 1 more paragraph on fashion for history (a tad more enjoyable), and make a time line of WW1. oh, and make a french plot for a "santa's actually in the mafia" comic.

whoppee. probably should've spent less time watching BLACK BOOKS today, but hey... it's addictive.

actually ran today was well, which was nice.
ciao.

this was halloween, this was halloween....

good day. wore my lovely poodle skirt to school... changed in 5th hour to sweats :P
B gave me a ride home again, and i was much less awkward. until he brought up Yesterday. (i'll explain later). apparently he thought i meant 'awkward' as in, we don't have the same friends/see each other at school. NO. i meant, no eye contact sort of awkward. but whatever, we figured it out... we're going to try it, i think, and see how it goes. i think. my mind is a little (lot) bemused/confuzzled at the moment, i'm SO tired... i got 4 hours of sleep yesterday. meh.

so, halloween. i ended up going to patrick's instead of courtney's, and i'm glad i did. it was a lot of fun. but i crashed at like, 10. random bits:
halloween caroling
smoking people
k's crutches
clawing dewey's scalp for an hour
ping pong
k singing for rock band

so umm, yeah. that's about it.
a few random B-Sit deets: he doesn't like pink floyd (DIE), rides are less awkward but they're ending since i'm going to run now (tomorrow especially... i'm only taking 3 days off. lol. i can't take it anymore!), i left my xc jacket in his car, he ate a whole cupcake, and he said something along the lines of 'i'd do anything you told me to do.' ...yeah.
ok i'm crashing as we speak, sorry.
oh, talked to D about it. he said it's good, that i decided to say ahh wtf, what's the worst that could happen? so yeah.
OK really bye now. happy halloween :)

10.26

SO DAMN TIRED. i didn't know it was physically possible to be this tired. but whatever, i need to give an update here...

10. 24 [friday]
regionals: cold, wet, windy, rainy, muddy, cloudy, and freezing... aka, perfect running weather :) i PRd by about 30 seconds, and i had the most AMAZING kick at the end... woot.

the lock-in: yeah, i went. ONLY because annie & molly & vonn wanted me to, and gave me a kitkat (mmmm...) at lunch that day. it was actually alright, since we just goofed around the whole time. JUBILEE! and "free s*&%? get in my BAG!" came out of it :P fell asleep in the bleachers multiple times, texting people sitting around me while we played monopoly, and... other fun things. but my camera broke.... AGAIN. i'm sending it in (AGAIN) and demanding a new one. this is ridiculous.

10.25 [saturday]
shopping with mom, after falling asleep somewhere: went to target, marshall's, and somewhere else. i got shoes and a running shirt.
got back from that, and went directly to...
annie's: good. sindocore. by which i mean sardines, of course. then scattergories (me and molly OWNED, completely) , then food (AMAZING), then a bit of capture the flag. then...
natalie's: SUPER AMAZING FUN!!! woot! me, camille, monique, and natalie + sugar + dark = AHGHHGHGHGHGHHHHH that much fun. we popped bubbles, limboed, TPd, (!), and kicked a can. FUN. then i went home...
SNL: stayed up till the weekly report, then conked out on the couch, only to be awakened by mi madre at 4 am...

10,26 [sunday]
mass, pumpkins, hailstorms, fashion, sketching, naps, homework, naps, chocolate, no running, naps, and... yeah. that's pretty much it. g'night all.

~ r

oh. here's my little inspiration thing i put together...

lize's and the day apres

the xc thing was fun. scavenger hunt (our team won), lots of food, swimming @ nicole's (awkward swimsuit/football guys moment on stairs), left early in am. slept with contacts in... BAD idea. my eyes have been sore and burning and OW all day. it's 11:13 pm and i'm still working on this rather stupid french comic strip project...
OH. i watched 10 Things I Hate About You & PS: I Love You.
10 things: GREAT!!! one of my top fave movies, definitely. heath ledger is in it, and i was like "oh hes kind of cute, who's that?" then i look him up and i'm like, "oh. he's DEAD. that's... weird and creepy and depressing and sad. and a waste."
PS: ily: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW is the best way to describe it. i cried for basically 2 hours straight. soooo cute and romantic :) makes me want to have a lovely BF (again?), both these movies. aww schnuggle schnuggle.
oh yeah, the rodeo was today. not much to say except HICK and yeeeehaw. and cowboy's prayer (so sacreligious?) steve gave me a ride home... aaawkkwaaard

ok i really have to run now. ttfn,

~ r

party report: molly + annie

it was so fun. A picked me and C up, then we met M at the movies and saw my best friend's girl... r. yeah. A underestimated the amount of naughtiness in it. (so we "saw" The Women). pathetic/poetic mistake. shot in boston?
then we hightailed it back to m's, where we ate cheesecake and played guitar hero. then C had to leave, and we sat on the roof and took stupid pictures and almost fell asleep out there. we came back in and watched Pink Panther. (well, i did, because it was too loud for me to fall asleep to. A and M were out.)
am: A and i tried to get M up, but failed, so we started to watch Failure to Launch. but we had to go.

ok, now i'm off to lisa's bday fete. ciao!

~ r

ps: xc yesterday = capture the flag

un autre jour en la vie de becca

yeah, idk what's up with the french titles.
anyway, today... good, until bio. i got an 82 on a quiz (STUPID mistakes!) and i'm already down to a 92 in there, before the quiz. math quiz was alright. then i realized i somehow got a B+ on an E&A w/s packet... IDK WHY. late? but i was absent. i really don't think i got half of them wrong. it PISSES ME OFF.
xc: blech. my tummy felt SO GROSS. but otherwise ok. emily's cool.
tomorrow: annie/molly's bday partaaaayy!!
saturday: xc sleepover? and lisa's bday
sunday: helluva rodeo

fun weekend. :)

activities: me, c & a playing with magnetic words, making dirty, DIRTY sentences... :P
swimming
chasing/catching/hunting/herding fishes
tanning
avoiding creepers/goons
riding the chipmunk
searching for speakers and food (me, J and A)

ok i quit now. night.
school tomorrow...

~ r

Party Report: Patti's

ok, it's way late and i'm way tired so this is going to be very fast...

patti's place
5-11 pm (but i got there at 6 due to running with D and K, and biking there - but missing the turn on the trail and being extra late)
funny stuff:
- i ran into a tree playing capture the flag
- we (the girls) quit and just sat around the fire talking
stuff that happened:
- J was being totally obnoxious and rude (particularly to me/michelle, as he has been of late).
- Z and i tried to tell him this, but he pretty much ignored/didn't believe us (that it was a group concensus)
- A, K, M, M and i all talked about J, and how annoying/obnoxious/rude/immature/ego-inflated he is/has become.
- apparently J is annoyed that i "don't take YG seriously enough anymore"/"aren't involved enough"... well, excuuuse me for not wanting to do the same stuff as him! or have a life... or run? hello? ag. oh well.
- oh, A thinks that's partially b/c he "doesn't want to lose our friendship"... HA. too late. and he "thinks that if i do YG more, that'll help." not bloody likely. i told her, the way he's been acting i don't want to hang out with him. ever. self-absorbed ego-on-legs thinks-he's-so-cool jerk.

lessee, i think that's about it.
TOTAL BIKING MILEAGE: about 20-22
TOTAL RUNNING MILEAGE: 5 - 5 1/2
TOTAL SWIMMING MILEAGE: ?? but about an hour

so i am supremely tired. but overall it was a good day. other than J being stupid.

peace and love and all that *jazz*,
~ r

(me) "well, they'd be doing this-" (grindy motion) "-so i think they'd notice.", (J) "becca peed... ice!", more ice down my shirt. (me and cait, very loudly) "I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIIIIKED IT..."

party overview: short version

mmk, so basically we ate pizza, rented some movies, didn't go to the beach, ate ice cream, watched no reservations and sydney white, then C and i stayed up and started watching mad money... C fell asleep, i stayed up till almost the end. i went to sleep around 3:30, i think. oh yeah, we also called J around 1:30 or so. he seemed very happy/awake... teehee.
in the morning, we ate lots of waffley foods and whipped cream, and went on a walk, then went to the beach even though it was about 69 degrees and cloudy, and sometimes drizzly. we swam (sort of) for a little bit, then went on the sand. when a very large cloud came, M & M (ha ha) left, and C and i stayed on to run around, make a sand castle/bump, and find 31 clamish things. (we named a few: janice, phillip, jillian, frederick...) then we came back, ate, and sat around and talked for like an hour. we ate yummy brownies and played disney songs on the piano. C and i danced funny in the living room. then i departed and the party was o-v-e-r. lol. spent the rest of the day sort of studying health (MONDAY!!), thinking/worrying about band camps, and going to mass then BWW (loud but good, but smoky. bumper sticker: "i'm only speeding because i have to poop"). yeah, so mature. came back, studied a bit, read breaking dawn. i'm off to bed now, toodles. :)

sleepily yours,
~ r

beware the pizza man...

the day: semi-dull. slept in, didn't run, went to jesse's gig... got hit on (sort of) by his (OLD!!) teacher ("damn, you've got a hot girlfriend!" if i was, in fact, his girlfriend rather that his SISTER).

the party: we swam, we knotted, we light sabered, we talked about e.c., we waited for pizza, we got stranded in a dark and lonely park and had to wait in the back of a pickup truck for josh's mom to get un-lost and pick us up... while we waited, we examined the possibilities of:
1. getting murdered viciously
2. having to stay overnight
3. NOT paying for the pizza, if it ever came!
4. getting raped (by monkeys!)
5. the movie rights of our wonderful ideas

toodles! peach mtns with annie (and kayleigh?) tomorrow...
~ r

the morning after

haha, not what you're thinking. but OW yeah my boobs hurt. for no apparent reason, i guess.

anyways, today was basically filled with lots of noise in the form of, in approximate order:
the kids across the street (9 a.m.)
the trucks at the parade
the beeping at the registers at kroger
the highway sounds
the jets at the air show (WHOOOOSH very loud! also i got sunburned on one side mostly, which is just oodles of fun.)
fireworks
bottle rockets
the cat meowing a lot
sirens as i type this
and soon, me snoring (or not... i don't snore, but you get the point) as i sleep. mmm.

oh, i didn't make it to the party at S's today... hmm. too bad.

zzz-ily and patriotically yours,

~ r

not long...

there's a storm coming, so this'll have to be a quickie. not that kind of quickie, perv. get your mind out of the gutter.
not much new has happened... C's moved the date of her party (again - indecisive much??) so now i am unable to attend. sigh. guess it won't be much of a party. ;)
seriously.
i've been working on the ol' six-string lately, feeling a bit musical.
oops, lightning, gotta run - drive, actually, and rescue mi padre from the hail. ciao!

~ r

hear ye, hear ye... there's a concert tonite!

...and i'm going!!! so be there.
deets: here

K's party:
fun. sausage game. mall scavenger hunt (ehh). shopping at 12 Oaks mall = fabulous. new fave mall. new fave store: forever21 :)

$$ PURCHASES $$
blue summer dress - aeropostale
GIANT white leather purse - f21

too much junk food was consumed, but it was delicioso. movies were watched (made of honor and the notebook) and laughing was... laughed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

running this morning: slow. sooo terribly slow. and i don't know why (neither does A. it continues to stump us both). N was there, and in front of my. my left shin, ankle & knee are all DEAD. ag. i'm definitely hoping as the summer progresses, so does my speed. lol :P

well, C's graduation party is on sunday. there's a flurry of cleaning and general preparation-ness going on, so i can't be much longer on here. and i still need to do abs, shower, and snuggle into my sweats.

until later,

~ r

last day of school, first day of freedom

yes folks, it’s finally happened. the last few grueling hours of school have gone by and we’re now free to do as we please… pretty much, short of lighting the house on fire or staying up all night every night for two consecutive weeks.
haha, fun.
anyway, today was pretty fantastic. i got a 107% on my sci exam - excuse me, but
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*cough cough* sorry, just had to get that out of my system. also, apparently i also made it into wind ensemble… without trying out, per se. whatever. as long as i’m in. i just hope he doesn’t hear the CD and pull me out or something bad like that.

pool party = fun.
water polo = mass groping.
funky ratios of guys to girls = way too much fun to be legal.

;)
