I Feel

like a freshman again. getting rides everywhere from my parents and my upperclassmen friends. sucks.

i am officially the proud owner of a passing French grade. thank you, thank you, thank you very much. i have never been so proud of a seventy two.

so other than that, not much is new. um... im burning Kimberly a CD right now. its very possible that the majority of the CDs that once were in my house are now in Kimberly's car.

sorry this is a boring post. but its alright since no one else reads this but me.

So Today

i was at TACT rehearsal, and me and Mariya were going to Northpark after. fun times. but i was like "well my favorite thrift store is down the street so lets go there first" so we parked in a lot that apparently was illegal, and when we finally left the store my car was on a tow truck. fun times. so i had to pay a hundred dollars and now i am carless for a week.

fun times. NOT

Why Im Not At The Jason Mraz Concert

because my life sucks.

thats all.

TACT

i thought of something else. i want to explain what i think is the most important thing i can do with my extra time.

I'm in a theater group called TeenAgeCommunicationTheater, or TACT. its run by Planned Parenthood of North Texas. after i finish saying the second sentence, most people stop listening and immediately label me as left wing, liberal, baby-killing whore. But honestly, TACT does not condone abortion or abstinence- we really just want to make sure that our audience makes informed decisions, whatever that decision may be.

so an outline of what TACT does. we have a repertoire of skits, written by the troop, about a variety of different topics that affect teenagers today, such as underage drinking, drug abuse, parental alcoholism, abstinence, marijuana, abusive relationships,and yes, abortion. we (the thirty or so teenagers from around the Dallas area that auditioned and were selected) go to churches, youth groups, juvenile detention centers, synagogues, etc. basically anywhere there are teenagers. usually these kids are underprivileged, but not always.

i cant even describe what it feels like to perform the skits. You're playing a character in a situation unlike anything you, or anyone you know, has ever experienced. what we do is stay completely in character thought the skit, and afterwards the audience asks us questions, and we answer them as the character. for example, when i play the pregnant teenager, the audience may ask me "are you going to stay with the baby's dad?" in which case i would answer whatever i think the made-up girl would say, like "we don't really know whats going to happen after this. we're trying to focus on what to do about my pregnancy"

the reason i started this with "the most important thing i can do...", is because i feel like its so rare for a teenager to feel like they're making a difference. even if my whole audience texts the whole time, but one girl or one boy asks questions and seems to understand what we're saying, its worth it. id rather make a difference in the way one person thinks than be mostly ignored by a huge group of people.

so anyways, thetas what TACT is. we also spend ALL summer learning about all the issues, so I'm a "sexpert" now. its nice.

kay.bye again.

When

did is get so cold? my car was like antarctica today.

The other day at work, this jewish woman from New York (although thats just a guess. all adult jews have new york accents. its proven) was on the phone with her husband and was like "well im shvetzen (jewish for sweating) right now. but next week the cold front comes in, it'll be seventy degrees!" with an eye roll.

so orthodox jewish lady with child and cake batter ice cream? its fifty four right now. TAKE THAT.

Also, when did i suddenly become so unintelligent? i've NEVER had to work this hard at school in my whole life. AP French is going to be the death of me (sera la morte de moi, je pense) because i only just realized that after five years, i actually dont speak french. im looking forward to a fun year.

alright, time to walk my dog in the blizzard outside. Fun times.

peace

Blogging Virginity

Im jumping on the bandwagon, and making a blog. i kind of feel like im in sixth grade and im making a xanga. blogspot is the xanga of the educated and sophisticated, evidently.

all i've really been thinking about lately (thats bloggable, anyways) is that i always seem to have a theme song- a song that i play on repeat every time im in my car, or listening to my ipod, or getting ready for school. and whats so strange to me is that they really, really affect my mood. maybe become more and more moody is all part of the fabulously raging hormones that come with being a teenager. or maybe ive just been so stressed out that my brain needs the repetition to get my mind of all the other stuff going on. either way, my head has been like a soap opera, with the violent mood swings ive been having.

so other than that, my lifes pretty boring. maybe ill just make up stories so my blogs as cool as everyone elses. next time, ill tell you all about the time i got attacked by a cobra.

i bet im the only one that ever reads this. whatever.

bye!
