dear diary pants: “that’s another reason why boys are a bother”

in today’s entry, we discover the following about the party-planning, keanu-loving life of posh d:

1) entertaining boys is really, really stressful.

2) things are still ON LIKE TRON with keanu.

3) apparently, posh has created and mastered a “cute thing” she does with boys she likes.

4) never having hat hair = magical quality

note: parts of today’s entry will be segments rather than the entire entry because, as you may have noticed, i apparently felt the need to write about every single minute aspect of my fifteen year-old existence.

Travis and Danny can come to the party! — but RAndy can’t. So far, it’s 3 guys and 8 girls. I sure hope Trey and Seth can come! I also hope the party will be a success. See, that’s another reason why boys are a bother. Now we have to worry about keeping them entertained! Siiiigh. Oh bother.

P.S. Seth cut out this article about Keanu Reeves’ dad from “The Star” (reliable source, I know). But it has this pretty big, awesome picture of my honey pie from “Speed.” Could anyone look any finer?

I love the Theater! [ed note: yes, i capitalized it]. I saw “And Then There Were None” with Keriann, Emily, Rachel, Mom, Mrs. Schreiber, Joy, Joy’s friend Teal (freshman) and Teal’s mom and Aunt Margaret! It was very good. The set was awesome, and the sound (although a bit loud– we were right nex to the speaker) was awesome. The thunder was loud enough to make you jump out of your seat (which we all did). Even the outside balcony looked real, with color changing skies, wave sounds and real water rain! I think being on crew and tech has really made me appreciate all of these things.

Guess what– I saw Billy there. Yes, Billy Conway! [ed note: a really cute senior boy and all around drama star-- this kid was jesus in "godspell"] It was wonderful– he talked to me and Rachel for almost the whole intermission. We discussed the play, then went on to P.E. and Health [ed note: RIVETING]. He’s going to Baylor (I did my cute thing– punched him in the shoulder). He said he’ll come back to Cy-Creek and visit. I hope so! I’ll really miss him.

It’s great to have 2 last-day-of-schools in one year. It’s weird to think that I’ll probably never see any of those people again. I will probably never swim in the Cy-Falls pool again. Actually, I’m *sure* I never will.

I didn’t even say good-bye to a lot of people– like Sharew (spelling?!!). Man, he had the best hair I’ve ever seen (he challenges even the mighty Keanu). It’s black (I think he’s Indian or Philipino or something), short and has awesome slightly surfer dudeish bangs. He *never* had hat hair!!! I still can’t believe he’s going to be a senior.

I got Melissa’s phone #– although I’m not very optimistic over our meeting again. I also took pics of the group (click click).

Ahh– I can sleep late tomorrow!!! Racel’s party… I’m definitely excited, but anxious.

[ed note: is this a cliffhanger ending or what?!!]

LINKS

my most heartfelt thanks to john for posting this video, which is basically the reason why youtube was invented, i.e. a collection of every single time michael scott has uttered the words, “that’s what she said.”

and, to continue with the laughing, check out the “generic off,” care of our greatest national treasure, “the daiy show.”

ok, seriously, i think all of today’s links are all about the hilarity. you MUST read george saunder’s humor piece in the new yorker about lipstick, pigs, pitt bulls… oh sweet fancy moses.

and the hits just keep coming with jezebel’s investigation of some really, really word xmas ornaments (hint: there’s a menorah!).

but LET’S GET SERIOUS NOW with this awesome article in the ny times about goth. no really. goth. in the NYT.

    Sheroo- he and I talked for about a month after summer school. I don’t think he was going to be a senior. I think he was only a junior. Becky used to have the most awesome picture of him. Gosh he was gorgeous! I totally crushed on him! (of course- he was Indian). Unfortunately Dad felt I was Too Young to date and Sheroo couldn’t wait until I turned 16. *sigh*.
