HAMBURRRRRRRRGERRRRRRRRRRS.

I really want hamburgers.
I ended my ACT essay with the word, "hamburgers."

Anyway, so today was Senior Skip Day. I was lonely.
I don't know how I'm going to take it when I'm a Senior next year...

Josh got in trouble for ditching and then returning for drama, so all of our plans for tonight fell out the window and landed on Tuesday. No biggie, I'll be fine.

We have a "date" tonight on AIM, though. Sounds lame, but I assure you, it's cute.

Oh, and during drama I had a WONDERFUL Christian conversation with a Mr. Ryan Henry today. It was one of my favorite conversations I've ever had. I'm going to miss him. This is his last week for student teaching for choir. Good news though, he got a job at an elementary in district #204 (Indian Prairie) so he'll be with us in the summertime. Plus, on Friday there is a chance that VJ will get to meet Mary, Mr. Henry's fiance.

Other good news:

MY MOMMY WILL BE A SOCIAL WORKER AT NAPERVILLE NORTH HIGH SCHOOL NEXT YEAR!

Yay!
I'm happy.

Well, I don't think I'll get hamburgers tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
Otherwise, I think I'm probably going to leave.

It was good, if you couldn't tell. Didn't feel very good for a part of it, but then it passed and I had fun.

Now off to a picnic!!!

OEHS Prom 2007

It's tonight.

I'm so excited!

^-^

Off to the land of PRETTY!

"When I fall in love, it will be forever."

"There are 8 campers (including you) going on a camping trip.
Each tent holds 2 people and their gear. How many tents will you need?"

The answer?

Negative twenty-seven point three (-27.3).... degrees.

Take that, PSAE. Take that!
Can't stand the heat?
Stop being easy.

Tart.

Pardon my French.
I left my English in my test folder.
My mistake.


Prom is almost here.
I can't wait.

Can we fast forward tomorrow?
I'm sleepy.
Too tired for my own good.

Merrrrg.
~ Hilary

"Hallelujah! Done, done my duty. Put on my travelin' shoes."

He cut his hair!
It's so short!
It's so cute.

Oh man, what are am I going to do?
I am beside myself with attraction.

Prom 2007.
It's coming up.

Three days.
Three almost there days!

ACT (#3) was today. 'Twas long. As usual.

Ate Panera with Rachael, Yessie, Kit, Mike, and Adam.
Then went to Graham Crackers Comics with Mike and Adam.
And laughed.
Hard.
All along the way.
With two people that never cease to make me cry because I'm laughing so hard.

Ladie's Ensemble was today.
We're singing "Death Came A-Knockin' " by The Duhks.
And Siren.

And I actually get to go to church tonight.
I love this day.
It's better than I thought it was going to be.

Especially after yesterday, and Saturday, and a few Tuesdays ago.

Oh man.
Prom.
I'm so excited.

I can't wait for the after party either.
^-^

Life is good.
And in lieu of what has happened in the past couple of weeks, it's gettin' there.
Life is good.
Keep on livin' it.

"Hallelujah! Done, done my duty. Put on my travelin' shoes."
~Hilary

Shoes.

Buying shoes always makes a woman feel good about herself!

Off buying shoes.
Let's get some shoes.

Stand in the Rain
~ Superchic(k) ~

She never slows down.
She doesn't know why;
But she knows that when she's all alone,
It feels like its all coming down.

She won't turn around.
The shadows are long,
And she fears if she cries that first tear,
The tears will not stop raining down.

So stand in the rain,
Stand your ground.
Stand up when it's all crashing down.
You stand through the pain,
You won't drown.
And one day, what's lost can be found,
You stand in the rain.

She won't make a sound,
Alone in this fight with herself,
And the fear's whispering:
If she stands she'll fall down.

She wants to be found.
The only way out is through everything
She's running from,
Wants to give up and lie down.

So stand in the rain,
Stand your ground.
Stand up when it's all crashing down.
You stand through the pain,
You won't drown.
And one day, what's lost can be found,
You stand in the rain.

So stand in the rain,
Stand your ground.
Stand up when it's all crashing down.
You stand through the pain,
You won't drown.
And one day, what's lost can be found,
You stand in the rain.

So stand in the rain,
Stand your ground.
Stand up when it's all crashing down.
You stand through the pain,
You won't drown.
And one day, what's lost can be found,
You stand in the rain.

I miss you Sammy Skye.

And my, when it rains, how it pours.

My goodness!

Somebody honestly needs to tell the sky to stop crying.
It really needs to not do that.

Today was an extremely bittersweet day, more on the bitter than the sweet side.

...

Just one thing:
I love my "family."
Not necessarily MY family.

But I love my "family."
And my "family" knows who they are.

I just want to be around people.
Mostly the people I was around today.
And people other than that, who I care about.

I love you Erin.
I love you Jared.
I love you Josh.
And Dani.
And Cavyrr.
And Lauren.
And M!DizzL3.
And everyone else I haven't named, because there are so many of you.

I really love you.
A lot.

And that's it...
That's all.
I have nothing else to say.

Goodnight and sweet dreams,
~Hilary

Be nice to me, I gave...

Charlie Corpuscle says:
Be nice to me, I gave blood today.



---

And for the first time, too!

It was an interesting experience.
It also was a 3 hour experience, from the moment I got there to when I left, too.

Hrmmm.
I don't think it was supposed to be that long.

Tomorrow's a costume day.
And we have a VJ performance.
Yay.

Tonight was the Poms vs. Cheerleaders / faculty vs. seniors basketball game.
Very interesting.
Indeed.

Well, I have nothing more to say.
I think I'm going to go to sleep.
Goodnight.

Peace.
~Hilary

Animator versus Animation I & II

Animator versus Animation: episode one and it's sequel.
It's HUH-LARIOUS!!!

Yay!

After school Josh and I went on a walk. It was very fun.
I don't really know why we wanted to go on a walk, because we are quite sore from the past week.
Hrrrrmmm.

I have no homework, so I am just surfin' around the internet, finding lame online games and rather amusing videos.
I really wish there was just ONE site on which ALL of this could be found, but there isn't one.

Oh well.

I am very tired and sore, as I stayed up mighty late typing an english paper.
Tonight is a very well-deserved night, though, so I can catch up on sleep and just hang.

Well, I'm going to return to my festivities of having nothing to do tonight!
~Hilary

Procrastination!

To do:

- Man & Men Formal Writing Analysis
- Eat Chipotle
- Be inducted into NHS

National Honor Society induction tonight!
Huzzah!

I really should stop procrastinating.
...
Schmeh!

Oh well.

Have a good day everyone, I feel cute today.
Love <3

I must have done something right.

How does he do that?
He leaves butterflies in my stomach, every moment I'm with him.
It's a-m-a-z-i-n-g .

Please, never let apathy kill us.

Come what may.
I will love you,

Must Have Done Something Right
~ Relient K ~

We should get jerseys, 'cause we make a great team.
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're out of my league.
And I know that it's so cliche to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new "best day" of my life.
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust.
It's jealously; they can see that we've got it going on.

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know you're more to me than what I know how to say.
You're okay with the way this is going to be,
'Cause this is going to be the best thing we've ever seen.

If anyone can make me a better person, you could.
All I gotta say is I must have done something good.
I came along one day and you rearranged my life.
All I gotta say is I must have done something right.
I must have done something right.

Maybe I'm just lucky cause it's hard to believe.
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me.
And I know that it's so cliche to talk about you this way,
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside.
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us,
That we have got something real good going on.

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know you're more to me than what I know how to say.
You're okay with the way this is going to be.
This is going to be the best thing we've ever seen.

If anyone can make me a better person, you could.
All I gotta say is I must have done something good.
I came along one day and you rearranged my life.
All I gotta say is I must have done something right.
I must have done something right.
I must have done something right.

If anyone can make me a better person, you could.
All I gotta say is I must have done something good.
I came along one day and you rearranged my life.
All I gotta say is I must have done something right.

I must have done something right.
I must have done something right.

ISU guestnet wireless internet connection = love

Yay!
Hello.

Greetings from my sister's Level 5 USA Gymnastics State Meet!!!

I'm currently at the Illinois State University field house.

Not only am I connected to a wall cord, but needless to say, I am also connected to the internet.
Thank you, wirelessly connected ISU!!

I'm on Josh's laptop. Oh boy!

I am showing him the ways of the gymnastics meet. What fun!
I wonder if he's bored yet.
Hrmm....

Well, anyway.
Hello!

And goodbye.
I'm done posting.
I have nothing to say.

~H!DawG

annoyed

He wonders why I don't submit to the listserv...
I look around at the ten bazillion noisey things happening at one point in time at my house.

...

That's why, Mr. Query, that's why.

Having ADD sucks.

You've Got Everything to Lose...

"As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment.
And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.
Then gradually, time awakened again and moved sluggishly on..." ~ Of Mice and Men.

These past three days have been... well...
Difficult.

...

When...
...when is everything going to decide to NOT be topsy turvy???

...

I want...
...I really want the sky...
...to stop crying.
Sky... please,
stop.
PLEASE stop crying.
For me...???
For us...???
Can you do that?
Do you know how to do that?
Are you able to do that?

This is Your Life
~ Switchfoot ~

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead.
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken.
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes.
This is your life, and today is all you've got now.
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have.
Don't close your eyes,
Don't close your eyes.

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be,
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose?

Yesterday is a kid in the corner,
Yesterday is dead and over.

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be,
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose?

Don't close your eyes,
Don't close your eyes.
Don't close your eyes,
Don't close your eyes.
Don't close your eyes.

This is your life are you who you want to be?
This is your life are you who you want to be, yeah?

This is your life, are you who you want to be, who you want to be yeah
This is your life, are you who you want to be (who you want to be)
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be,
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose?

And you had everything to lose...

Complete Orgy of Taste Buds...

I just had THE MOST AMAZING & TASTEFUL meal of my entire life...

Shogun Restaurant...
A-MAZING.
I recommend it.

'Twas definitely an OOT...
That is, an orgy of taste buds.
Quite delicious!

And, being surprised by my boyfriend after a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, it made all the BETTER!

Just for the record:
- I hate driving in the pouring ice rain during rush hour when late for a flute lesson. -
I suggest that you NEVER do that.

Not only will you miss the flute lesson, but you will nearly cost yourself your life on the way there because you are inexperienced at driving in that kind of weather AND you will be so embarrassed that you will cry the entire way to your boyfriend's house, when of course, the weather will be much better and there will be SIGNIFICANTLY LESS traffic than there was on the way there...

But hey, maybe he'll be affectionate and thoughtful and surprise you at his door with a "don't take your shoes off yet, I'm taking you somewhere" smile, a coat, and car keys like my boyfriend was when I arrived at his house.

Ah, adolescency, you never cease to get in my way...

Thanks,
~ThE H!DawG
p.s.
As to why this day was so bad, I have no idea. All I know is that I just want to be happy again........

=]]

The Best Thing...

As I sit here and sip my Culver's Oreo milkshake, I reflect on the things that make me happy:

- comic books
- Josh, the boyfriend
- milkshakes made with custard
- milkshakes made with ice cream
- milkshakes
- Oreos
- Kitkat bars
- chocolate
- chicken salad with tarragon and almonds
- driving around Naperville and Oswego while chit-chatting with Adam Casey (or any of my friends)
- being skinner than I was the day before
- looking cute
- looking attractive
- missing my boyfriend, but knowing that I will get to see him in a few days
- coming up with new ways to match clothing
- Yogurt Blast Cheerios
- Raisin Bran Crunch
- dresses
- clothes
- sleep
- Star Wars party games

and above all, Jesus!

I'm quite content today.
Yesterday, my brother turned 8.
Today's his party.
I have to run errands.
Yay!

Here's the sweetest song ever...
The Best Thing
~ Relient K ~

It's been a year,
Filled with problems.
But now you're here,
Almost as if to solve them.
And I can't live in a world without you now.

All my life,
I've been searching for you.
How did I survive,
In this world before you?
'Cuz I don't wanna live another day without you now.

This is the best thing,
The best thing that could be happening.
And I think you would agree:
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me.

All I'm gonna have
Is all that you can give me.
And I'll give right back,
Everything I have in me.
'Cuz nothing ever felt as right,
As this does right now.

I'll go back to before we met.
Can I erase the past?
Try harder to forget 'cuz
Nothing will ever be as good as here and now.

'Cuz when I looked into your eyes,
And you dared to stare right back.
You should've said "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half."

And this is the best thing,
The best thing that could be happening.
And I think you would agree:
The best thing is that it's happening.

This is the best thing, the best thing,
The best thing that could be happening,
The best thing...
And I think you would agree:
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me.

Always knew
I'd find someone.
I never dreampt
It'd be like this.
You've surpassed
All that I've hoped for and ever wished.
And I'm tryin'
So hard,
With all my heart and mind,
To make your life
As good as you've made mine.

This is the best thing, the best thing.
The best thing that could be happening.
The best thing...
And I think you would agree:
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me.

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me.
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me.

The best thing, the best thing that could be happening.
The best thing, I think you would agree:
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me.

Dear God...

...Why is it snowing outside???

I'm so tired, and I don't really know how I feel about that.
I don't really know how I feel about anything today.

I think I'm just feeling-less.
Because I'm tired.

Zzzzz.
Yeah, that's pretty much everything.

~Hilary

p.s. and I hate these jeans. I feel obese. Oh wait, I forgot... that's how I feel everyday!
I think that I might just eat fruits, vegetables, and baked chicken for the rest of my life. Maybe I'll just eat celery. Maybe...
Oh God, I wish I was cute, little, and sexy.

Boy, can I keep dreaming!

Sulking in the corner.
Leave something if you wanna.

SO...

...Disney was pretty much amazing.

This is all I have to say...
(and only a couple people will know what I am talking about)

"I wish we could go to Africa everyday!"
~ the Cavyrrrrrrr

And:

"Tony!"
"What? I'm not a fruit!"
"No, Tony. It's what comes after the fruit..."
~ Nick, Tony, and M!DizzL3.

Man, good times.
I'm gonna miss it.
Only 41 more days until the end of school!
