A quick note: so my blog isn't working very well. It sorta loads the page halfway and stops. BUT, you CAN see the entire thing (or at least this works for me) by doing this: instead of hitting reload, just click the little address bar with the URL and hit enter. Next time it loads, you can see the whole thing. At least, every time I try it, it works.
So now check this out! I thought this was pretty cool, it gives you a lot of information and stuff.

So guess what I did last night. I killed my knee. Very badly. Basically I can't walk on my right leg, and all I have to help me is an ice pack that practically doesn't work and an umbrella for a "cane". Anyway, I've decided to take this optimistically and hope that it clears up in a day or two. I'm still doin' what I do, although it can prove kinda hard sometimes, 'cause, well, y'all know how much I love moving around. Anyway, on the brighter side, PARTY ON TUESDAY! At Demler park! 6:00! Scoooooooore! Please please be there, cause maybe you'll never see me again for a year. And I want to say goodbye to people :)
Ooooh! My state honors choir practice CD came today in the mail. I'm listening to it right now. We sound pretty! Yay! I'm proud.
So I really need to start getting ready for school. I still haven't gotten so many things! And I need to decide what I have to take. Oh god, this song is so beautiful! I can't even believe those soloists are human, let alone high school aged girls. They just sound amazing. Anyway, I got most of my school supplies yesterday, woohoo! Notebooks, pencils, a new backpack (first new backpack since 5th grade, wow), the like. Man, the beginning of the school year is such an exciting time, especially this year. I still can't really comprehend that in a month I will have been living there for a while. . . it all seems so surreal and alien. OH WOW, less than two weeks 'till I'm there! Scary scary scary. What if I can't handle the workload? What if everyone's amazing, and I'm just this dull, two dimensional bore that nobody likes? Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I wonder if I'll get very homesick. Usually I don't get that homesick, but you never know. This is very different than anything else I've ever done. But you know what? I'm just gonna have to go in there with my brave face on, and take my fear by STORM! Bam, interlochen. I shan't be scared.
Ahhhh, I LOVE this song! I'd forgotten about it, and it's so great. Riiiiiide onnnnn, King Jeeeeesuuuuuuuuuuus! No maaaaaaaaan, hinder thee. I get like psycho when I sing this song 'cause I get really carried away. I totally understand those gospel choirs where they're so passionate about singing, because the songs are so powerful that even as a non-christian I got excited. Funny how music can do that.
Ahhhhahahaha, there's my voice on the cd! I'm reading the intro to the next song. I get a kick out of that. Heh heh.
Holy shit, I really need to take a shower. I am SO dirty. e e cummings is such an amazing poet. His work is so innovative. I REALLY need to read some poetry before I head off.
I love how when you touch the computer screen the image seems to ripple. It's actually really pretty. It sort of gives me that tiny feeling of influencing something. It's funny how even false senses of that can be intoxicating. It's sort of like dipping your finger into a pool of water. Except the water is obviously more beautiful than poking a computer screen :)
THAT was the most beautiful chord. In. The. Entire. World. It's even prettier than that one chord in the piano part for "ragtime" where there all the stacked minor thirds. Well, they're both beautiful in their own ways. But this chord just makes your hair stand on end. Mmmm.
Wow, soup sounds really good right now! I think I'm going to gow downstairs, make myself some soup, and then take a bath. Relaxxxxxationnnnnnn. Niiiiice.
Supergirl is relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxed.

Woohoo, going to Mona Lisa's tonight for dinner with my family, then probably going to ellen o'meara's house to watch some movies. I haven't seen her in FOREVER! And I love her soooooooo much! Well, forever as in a week or two. And right before that we were hanging out so much. Man, Ellen just seriously rocks my world.
Yuck, I don't feel well. Well dinner soon.
Listening to the Starlight mints, of course. Twilight Showdown. Good song. All of their sogs are good. I just need their other albums now, sooooo badly.
I really like the word whom. With whom, by whom, from whom, to whom, over whom, next to whom, around whom, under whom, away from whom, near whom, do you walk? Good question.
Ohhhh, Valerie flaaaaaames.
Hmmm, maybe I can also do something with Glenna. I love her so much too! Man. Girls girls girls. Woohoo!
Alright, I have to go quickly throw on some pants before I go out to eat. Check y'all later!
Supergirl enjoys some fine cookin'.

AMAZING MOMENT OF MY LIFE:
well, actually, not that amazing, but halfway. definitely had a lot more amazingness potential. Well, anyway, so I'm online, and a "moooo" goes off, and i thought it was my alert for when R comes online--well, no. Wasn't R. It was STAR WICK. Of OZMA. I almost pissed myself. So this is the conversation I had with the lovely Ms. Wick:
almost trying: Hi, is this Star, from ozma?
almost trying: well, you're probably busy or something, i just got your screen name off of the ozma website, and i'd just like to thank you for being part of one of my favorite bands ever :-)
almost trying: your music is just captivating :-)
almost trying: well if you ever get the time, my name's Lauren, it would be interesting to talk with you
almost trying: later

Woohoo, go me. Next time I'll see if she'll talk. I wonder if she even read that, or if she was busy doing something else. Hum. Well, I can just hope that sometime I'll get to talk to one of them, and it will be a bit less one-sided than that. Well, at least I got the thrill of seeing her name on my task bar. God I'm a loser.
Man, some people really know what they're ding. Color me impressed.

Alright, well, I don't think I've really told many people this at all, so I'll just letcha know. I'm leaving tonight (today is friday) for wausau, and then tomorrow morning i'm going to chicago. I should be back late monday evening or so (i believe). Just going to hang with my grandma and cousin, go to great america, probably go shopping or something :) So off I go in a few minutes (ahhh, my family is behind schedule . . . as always) to wausau, then to chicago. Ooop, my mommy is telling me to go pack my swimming suit, so I think I should probably go . . . just leaving love to everyone--yes that includes you--for the couple days that I'm gone. Have fun without me :)
Oh, and I don't know *what* or *where* it will be, but i htink i'm going to plan on the 23rd being my goodbye party! So mark your calendars! You're ALL invited! Yes that also means you! And if you have any ideas of what i could do for it (my mom is like, "mragh, you shall not just have people hanging around my house, blah blah blah, i have no good reasons but it is so!") that are "outside the box" then email 'em to me or somethign and rock my world. :)
Supergirl hurries off to "Lauuureennnnnnn, don't forget to pack your swimsuuuuiiiiitttttt!!!":

GRRRRRRR. Lost my post. Anyway, I'll try to recap . . .
best cd ever. amazing amazing amazing. the starlight mints, the dream that stuff was made of. ooooh, seriously, worth every penny.
So needless to say, I went CD shopping today. Bought the starlight mints cd, also the music--the music and the streets--original pirate material. I am also adding 3 new cd's to m wanted list: dead kennedys--plastic surgery disasters; ours--precious; jack johnson--on and on. And also, although the whole list still stands, i have moved these three cd's to priority setting:
dead kennedys--plastic surgery disasters
the strokes--is this it
Morphine--Cure For Pain
I was very dismayed to see that best buy does not sell:
David Bowie--Hunky Dory
Shudder To Think--well, anything by shudder to think. they carried none of this at all. sadness.
Dispatch--bang bang
belle and sebastian--if you're feeling sinister
I didn't check for some of the other cd's yet, some were also very expensive. Well, expensive as in more money than i had with me at the time, not expensive as in relative to other cd prices. Yeah. I'm hoping that I can get those three priority cd's at least by the end of the summer, if I can somehow come up with the money. I only have a few allowances left, and I also NEED a new cd case (i've been double-stuffing cds and can barely zip the case any longer). Maybe I can babysit for Ben and Selika again sometime before I leave. Seriously, their little boy Clay is the cutest little boy ever. It's actually enjoyable babysitting for them, and I get paid. Rock on. You know where I'd like to work while I'm in college? A small music store. That'd be cool.
So I was talking with Rachel yesterday about careers, and I think I've decided that it would be really cool to go into journalism and fashion, as I have interest in both fields. Or journalism and politics. I'm trying to tie in writing to thinks that I find interesting, or really enjoy. I really need a job I enjoy, because, well, I think I'm too whiney to live with a job I hated. I'd get melodramatic and freak out about it all the time probably.
Rolling my stomach is really peaceful. Or at least right now thats the way I feel. Peacefullll . . . mmmm. No music, actually, just the hum of appliances and the sound of my own breathing. And my fingers on the keyboard. Mmmm, perfect for a loser like me who sits on the computer all day. Damn, I need to get out more.
Speaking of which, last night we went downtown to the roof and watched a meteor shower (although i'm such a spaz that i couldn't sit still long enough to see a shooting star) and I saw Jared, which I haven't since my dance recital. And i saw MARY BETH! Yay! I was very excited, although her and jenny didn't mix very well with the people i was with, and that was weird. But it was a very cool night indeed.
And tonight we're sort of having a nostalgic bowling night, 'cause we used to bowl every friday in 8th grade, and now we're all getting back together again (although i don't know if everyone is coming . . . fisch isn't for sure as he lives in some state that starts with a vowel. i always get those damn vowel states mixed up). Excitedness! Speaking of which, I need to go get ready, so, cheers! And everybody go download the song "the irony of it all" by the streets, and the songs "margarita", "sir prize" and "the bandit" all by the starlight mints. I can GUARANTEE you will like them all. They ROCK MY WORLD. Alright, later y'all.
