Hello eveyone. It is the middle of the night and I am bored and miserable. I snuck up to my Nana's house (where the computer is) to update my site (I live nextdoor to my nana for all of you who are confused). As you all might have gathered from Kassi's comment on my last post, I am grounded. This makes it hard for me to post (explains "SNEAKING" part of scentence before). I just wanted to let everyone know I am still alive.

The situation between Kassi and I this summer is what has made me miserable. I will explain. A week after school got out, she went to Destin for a week and three days. After that, we had four days togethor in which I could only see her after five o' clock because she works 7 days a week, so we only got about 8 hours togethor that week in total. Then Kassi left for Massachusetts for a grand total of two weeks, and to make matters worse I was grounded during those two weeks and could not speak to her on the phone. Then my mom, as soon as she got back, said that I could not see her because she said I had disobeyed my restriction by taking the car (I kinda had to because I was taking care of Kassi's house and I wasn't going to let her cat die). So, after an arguement on the subject in parentheses in the last scentence, I was grounded again for two more weeks. so, now I cannot see her until Saturday (which is when I leave for four days at the beach and my mom gave me no choice but to go). So, I am alone and sad and I'm sorry I had to drag everyone through that story but I had to let it out.

If someone talks to Kassi, then tell her I love her.

Kassi, if you read this, I love you and I miss you so much.

Goodbye everybody; sorry if my next post is a long way away.

Hey everybody! My apologies go out to all the people in the fall comedy. I'm sorry that I was absent yesterday. Then I had to go and lose my rehearsal schedule and I thought practice was tomorrow. It's all straightened out now though, so I will try my best not to miss another practice (excluding band camp, of course).

Tomorrow I head to the beach. I'm going to Shipwreck waterpark with my cousins. Then the next day more cousins will come and we will most likely go to the beach again(St. Andrews State Park). I like the waterparks more though because I hate to deal with beach sand. I'm sure many people share this philosophy.

Anyway, I think I'm going to bed early tonight because I went to bed at 5:00 a.m. this morning and got called to play practice at eight. I'll probably only last a few more hours before my brain shuts down. So, goodbye for now.

I don't know if anybody else worked outside today, but it was HOT. I was out raking for three hours in 98 degree weather. I was very happy when we had that little bit of rain and it cooled off a bit.

Well, I was supposed to be notified about a job interview with Video Warehouse, but due to a minor catastrophe they won't be able to go through applications or set up any interviews for a few more weeks. So, alas, I am still jobless.

My cousins are coming tonight and I have a wedding rehearsal to go to tonight, so I will say goodbye and have a good day.

This just happens to be my first post in MONTHS......

So I must apologize to all the people who probably abandoned me because of my extreme laziness. So, I am sorry! Please leave comments, sign my guestbook, and continue your support my friends because... I AM BACK!!

Sorry for the long absence. I would have continued writing in the summer, but I was everywhere once school got out.

Some updates: I got a new dog. He is a Daschound and his name is Beau.                                                    I just competed in the statewide Alabama Country and Gospel Music Association State contest and am still awaiting results. I sang the traditional gospel song Old Rugged Cross.                                   I am also singing with the choir at Mrs. Clouse's daughter's wedding on Saturday.

That's about it as far as news. I will update regularly (hopfully) ((no, really I will)).

                                                           Peace out,

Sorry to everyone for not being able to update in a while. I hope I haven't made you think I had fallen off of the face of the earth . I am here now and tired as heck. I don't know what has been wrong with me the past week because I keep wanting more and more sleep. I hope I don't have some kind of disease opposite to insomnia.

This weekend I will be going through hell because we have to do yardwork and wash the paneling of the house and the gutters. Makes me almost wish I was in school........not. Oh well, it's all okay because we have a three day weekend and I get to SLEEP! Yes!

To everyone in the play: I promise to work on my lines and songs this weekend. In fact, we probably all need to because the play is closer than you think. The end of Febuary isn't far away and there's no way we can put off something of this magnitude to the last minute. I'm tired of hearing people say "oh well, we still have a month" or hearing of people in the chorus that don't sing. Enough of that though; I don't mean to scold anyone.

Sorry again for the lack of updating. None of you give up on me. THE XANGA LIVES AGAIN!! I hope everybody has a great holiday weekend and see ya'll on Tuesday.
