dear diary pants: “Aren’t they supposed to like Mariah Carey?”

in today’s entry, we learn the following about the world of newly sophomored sarah pants:

1. whoah, tension with “the preps” brings out a little bit of mean girl! paging s.e. hinton…

2. rather than being protective of, say, cool indie music, sarah is defending 70s classic rock.

3. sarah’s dad has not changed at all since 1994. (i love you dad!)

4. CHEMISTRY SUCKS.

5. no, seriously, chemistry may actually end sarah’s life.

6. high school theater can be heartbreaking. like, i haven’t seen this much angst since sarah couldn’t get that speed poster.

7. sarah’s ultimate HS goal = letter jacket. oh yeah.

Well, the Steve Miller Band concert last night was so awesome!!! Whoooeeee!! I was surprised when I saw all of these preps, like Courtney C. and Karen W., walk in. Hello? Aren’t they supposed to like Mariah Carey? [ed note: ZING!] I was kind of mad and territorial– what gives them the right to come to my concert and suddenly start liking my music? But after a while, it didn’t bother me.

The band started off really well with “Swingtown” and ended the first half with “Rockin’ Me.” Now that was sooo cool! I recognized it when it first started, and I just stood up and started dancing and screaming and singing– it was such a blast. Everybody was rockin. We had to leave at 10:30 (it was from 8-11) to miss traffic and weirdo drivers [ed note: typical dad!!]. I was disappointed because they hadn’t played “Take the Money and Run” and “Joker,” although when we were walking to the car I heard “TMR.” It was so exciting– I’m so glad I got to go. I bought a shirt, black, and I wore it today (8/16/94– I was too tired to finish writing last night!).

Chemistry has been so frustrating! I get so mad and anxious and worried and depressed. How can I survive?

Today was better– we presented our Haiti project in History, and it went really well. I tried out for “Taming of the Shrew” and I had tons of fun beign Kate. I know I won’t get Kate or Bianca, but i might be an extra. And Chemistry was easy… until I got home BUT I don’t want to talk about it. I’ll just stay for tutorials or something.

this is actually my 8th grade picture, but i just got it from my parents, and my multi-colored braces are just too awesome not to share. also i totally got those earrings at 5-7-9.

I got to actually watch a half hour of TV (“Wings”) and I’m going to read even though it’s 9:46 because I haven’t been able to read my Star Wars book since Sunday and it is so fantastic and I love it and I love Leia and Han Solo and Chewie and Luke and everything!!

8/18/94

I received my sixth rejection today in theater– you guessed it, I didn’t make “The Taming of the Shrew.” Well, it’s not like that’s new or anything. It’s just that Mrs. Miller told our class that if we tried out, we’d have a good chance of getting a part– extras or something. But then again, it seems like I’ve been led on by her before.

I guess I’ll work tech. I hope she remembers what she said about the letter jacket because after the next play, which we just found out will be “A Chorus Line,” I have enough credit to get it. Well, maybe not, I mean, I haven’t even had a major or supporting role. I think I’m on Theater burnout right now [ed note: "on"?]. I just don’t care about it. And we have to dance a lot in “Chorus Line” and *everyone* knows that I have so much experience in THAT area. Eeeks!!

for all of you hoping to be cat ladies in the future (ahem, jessica), please note that the bar for crazy has just been set a LOT higher.

speaking of cats, BAD CAT! but also, kind of pretty great (thanks selina, for the link).
