my voice is shot. what a great time to lose my voice.......in the middle of rehearsing for the school musical. great timing. i started off with a sore throat. then i got a cough. and throughout all that i was singing and dancing at rehearsals. and on friday i sang like allllll day after school. first voice rehearsals then off to reconciliation at irvington to sing praise songs.

wow...reconciliation night was pretty freaking awesome. the speaker was really great. i seriously felt that everything he was saying was directed at me. all the questions he posed were all questions that i've had. and he provided me with answers which was awesome. i could totally related to all of his personal experiences that he shared. and he really made me think. i felt that God was talking DIRECTLY to ME through him. that night just totally brought me out of my self-absorbed life. i'm so happy i went =D.

then on saturday i was out from 10am to 3am. first the clothing drive which i think was pretty damn successful. and from what paula said, american and fremont christian were successful also. aw, i'm so proud of her for organizing this whole thing. what a spiffy area rep =D. then we had an officers meeting for like three hours. when everyone finally left at four o'clock michelle, paula, and I were FRANTICALLY running around the house trying to get ready for it's a wrap. it was CRAZY. we had to get dressed, do hair, do makeup, print directions, duct tape michelle, and bake cookies, all while three freaking phones were going off every five minutes. first paula's house phone rings cuz willis doesnt' have a ride, then her cell rings cuz fatemeh needs directions, then my phone rings cuz eric needs directions. and when we finally hang up, all the phones start ringing again. holy crap.......i was about to throw my phone in the toilet. i wish someone video taped us. it was pretty freaking hilarious.

then we left with ruthann for a potluck at tina's house. i guess since i was so busy that day i didn't notice that my voice was getting progressively worse until laura says, "what happened to your voice?" potluck was fun - tina makes excellent pizza, rahul gets turned on by my sexy voice ("could you stop talking cuz im about to jump on you." HAHA), tickling while taking pictures, getting hand massages from carlo, and getting high on sugar (well that was just me).

the dance was soooooooo awesome. only six people from SS Ryla were there, but it was still heck of fun. the dance was not even ryla rated. compared to whs dances, it wasn't DIRTY but it definitely wasn't ryla-rated. at one point there was this looooong freak train. it got really hot and sweaty. HAHA. i won a bottle of apple cider but that doesn't even compare to all the my little pony stuff that kevin won. hahahahaha. i got lots of compliments on my "look" (as eric calls it). i had some people tell me my outfit was like britney spears and other people tell me it was like michael jackson. funky. i just got the idea from our marathon dance.

so after the dance, it tooks us DAYS to figure out what we were doing. We finally went to donut wheel, played ten fingers, had trouble figuring out rides, almost decided on a sleepover at brian’s house with eric, me, michelle, and paula but parents got in the way of that idea, and just plain fun talking. While me and jp were talking in rahul’s car, eric and rahul started shaking the car from the back. HAHA. Some people are so dirty. Paula was all like, “I can’t believe these guys are our friends.”

After that it was back to Fremont. Didn’t get to hang with eric and brian in palo alto and see Christmas tree lane or go into the hills to see the view – too many ride problems. Damn it sucks being a pedestrian. But I had nice talk with brian in the car on the way back. I seriously could just sit in a car with a friend and talk for hours. We met up with paula and eric at paula’s house and talked in her living room for almost an hour….

Me: It's wierd how you guys [Eric and Brian] are both shaking your legs at the same time
Eric: It's leg masturbation
JP: Yeah it's supposed to make yourself feel better
Brian: No it doesn't... (stops shaking his leg) Wait... you're right. Now I feel kinda... empty.

That carried on for awhile. They tried shaking their whole bodies….but it didn’t produce the same affect. hahaha.

Finally got home and went to bed at 3am. It was a good night =D.
