The way your smile just beams...the way you sing off-key...the way you haunt my dreeeeams! <-- good song

Well...last night was AJ's birthday party. That was fun! We pretty much just played mafia for four hours! We played by the fire too, and ate, and opened presents, of course. I got him a CD and a Build Your Own Peace Garden Kit! Haha, I designed the kit myself (with a little help from Kelsey and Hannah). He said he's putting the sign in his room. It says Testosterone Peace Garden-Feel the Manliness!
haha.
Matt gave Paige, AJ, and I our scripts yesterday. That's cool...I haven't read the whole thing yet, but since it's so short we probably did 9/10 of it at callbacks. I can't wait till rehearsals start! Then I can stop taking the bus! lol somehow I don't think it's the funnest experience, but it's probably good for me.
Mom signed Grant and I up for swimming lessons starting today. I hope that all the other people in it aren't like first graders or something. That'd be so wierd. And shameful. haha.

I love it when I'm busy. Sitting around at home like a lard is so boring. Of course, I love biking, and going places by myself, but it gets a little repetitive for every Saturday! I still need to see Across the Universe. That looks like such a good movie! It should be rated R...for you know, the cussing, the SEVERE drug references, the partial nudity... Sometimes I wish Hollywood could get a grip and portray the parts of life that don't have all of that in it. One the other hand, this movie is to show us the 60's- complete with the anti war rallies, the drugs...I hope it's worth it.
Of course, who knows when I even think I'm going to see this! It's a pretty full weekend- to my delight. We start swimming lessons today...but those are only for half an hour, thank goodness! Maybe we'll rent a raquetball court for afterwards. That would be fun. This afternoon/early night I have another birthday party, which sounds like it'll be the bomb! I still need to get them a present...That'll be today, and then tomorrow I have church of course and I think Operation Christmas Child with Hannah. Maybe it doesn't sound like much. Maybe it does. Either way, I know I'm pretty full. But if I got an invitation, I'll bet I could squeeze it in.
One other thing I have this weekend- that I'm NOT looking forward to- is homework. Groan! Oh well, I don't have that much. I have...let's see here...history (working on my perfect society. Which I think would be torture to live in. I mean, in a perfect society, nothing would go wrong, hence the perfect. No one would ever learn from their mistakes, and think of how boring it would be! Plus, if the society is perfect, pretty soon we'd think WE were perfect. And then we'd be left with the worst thing ever- no need for God. Somehow I don't think Ms. Hollis grasps what she's asking for.), science (well, my Cell City brochure isn't exactly bad...Exactly...lol. It could take a bit of time...), and then french (let's just say I'm not a fan of those little magazines she always gives us! haha). So, not bad. Not bad.
I can't wait for Tuesday- CHATAQUA!!! I love our field trips there. So, it'll be cold. But we can go on a short hike with our friends and then chill at base camp. I mean, we can run around and play games and not get yelled at! Just be sure to bundle up!
Well, as much as I'd love to stay, it sounds like I've got a few things to attend to...
Luv y'all
God
Bless
