First, I must start off this entry by saying.......
HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY TO CLAY AIKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::CHEERS LOUDLY::
WE LOVE YOU CLAY!!!!!! *MUAH!*
GUESS WHAT PEOPLE?!?!?!? CLAY GOT WHAT I SENT HIM!!!!!! Ask me for details. It was part of me and Lauren's plan a while back....remember? ::wink:: if I know you, ill tell u. I still dont' wanna give anyone any ideas. *wink* lets jsut say i was jumping aorund the house thanksgiving night after i found out.! Thanks Deanna!!!!! even though you didn't fullfill my entire request, thanks anyway!!!!!!!
Also, a special thanks to Jeannette for taping all that Clay stuff for me!!!
Today was a good day. I really don't know why either. It was just good. I got out of work at 2 and just went to the book store cuz i signed up for this special card that you can get discounts from and stuff. When I signed up for it they gave me a 5 dollar gift cirtficate, so I went there to use that. I just love walking around book stores. I was leaning towrds getting the first book in the "Series of Unfortunate Events". But I spotted two other ones that I wanted even more. One is called "Bed knobs and Broomsticks", which is also a movie. I've loved taht movie since I was little and I wanted to see how the book compared to the movie. I started it, and so far, it's pretty different. BUt I'd recomend the movie. It's really good. It's a kid's movie though so it's corny at times, but it's definatly worth seeing. I also got this book called "The Theif Lord". It sounds really good. Kind of indescribable.
I'm downloading a lot of stuff right now on KaZaa. I can't wait till their all done. a bunch of Goo Goo Dolls videos and Wierd Al. LOL. strange combo huh? If you all get a chance, I'd reccomend downloading the video for Wierd Al's song called "Amish Paradise." it's sooo funny! at one point, this amish dude looks at his watch and it's a sun dial! LOL. And "Pretty Fly For a Rabbi" is funny too. I wanna get his CD's.
In the near future, I'm gonna make a new 101 facts about me list. Just because. No real reason.
I'm ALMOST done Christmas shopping. All I have to do is get something for my mom and i'll be all set. I also might get something else for my dad, but it's gonna have to wait untill next pay-day! I can't believe in 2 and 1/2 hours it's gonna be December first!!!!! unbelieveable!! I still remember last Christmas!! This year went by like nothing. Although, I will admit September certainly took it's time. MAN THAT WAS A LONG MONTH!! Probably because school had just started.
Oh! btw- LIke my new lay-out?! I took down my Bender one. I couldn't stand the thought of Clay not being on here anymore! LOL. I really like this one. Jeannette said it was creepy with the song and the picture together. LOL. I really like that picture. Although Angelfire and Village photos just LOVE to mess up my pictures. It reallyt doesn't look like that, It's actually very clear....::sigh:: I also have a grey version of that picture. The letters are grey instead of yellow. But I liked this one better cuz u can read it better. I might take away my blogroll and put another picture of Clay there. I dunno. We'll see.
My Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. I went to my aunts house and had an awesome dinner. I seriously wish I could cook like she can. YUM! that was really good. After dinner we watched a little of "Finding Nemo". Cute movie, I gatta rent it to see the rest. I also had my first full drink. Thats right people, Lauren had a drink. Like a drink-drink not like soda, like an alcohol drink. Trust me, I won't make a habit of drinking...not good at all. I had a Pina Colada flavored wine cooler. Wine coolers are like 5% alcohol if that. But it was really good. ;) My uncle gave it to me. LOL. He tried to get me to have some B&B after that but i'm like No thanks! LOL.
Anyways. this was certainly a worth-while entry huh? well, i must be off to KaZaa to see what other goodies I can download. Ciao!
Peace, Love, and Clay Aiken.

WHOA! I had some weird dreams last night. One of them was a good dream and the other one wasn't really good or bad. It was jsut really weird. I don't remember all the details of the really wierd one, so I'll just talk about the nice one. Okay, I was sitting on this wall near the IHOP up the street from my house. (There is no wall that actually exists over in that area) and I had a lap-top and I was talking to this guy on instant messanger. I forget what we were talking about. Then, I remember saying to him "Thats me sitting on the wall over there" Aparently he was driving by me or something. Then I see this guy walk up to me. Not bad looking...he was no Clay Aiken, but he wasn't that bad looking. He had dark hair and he had a nice face. We didn't even say anything to each other yet and he just grabs my shoulders and kisses me. Weird huh? He was obviously older than me cause after that he said something like "I know we can't actually date because you're not 18 yet." And thats where it ended. I liked that dream. LOL I'd love to have another one like taht again!!! LOL. I might try to find a dream interpretation website to see if it means something....I dunno, i guess I'm hoping. LOL. The other one was just kinda disturbing. I dont' remember much about it.
Guess what? LOL, this gay guy applied to work at my store! I hope he gets hired. He's SO cute! but, alas, he's gay. It sucks that all cute guys are gay. He would make working there that much more enjoyable. But me and my mom are going job hunting on Saturday for me. Yay!!!!
I also printed my invitations for my New Years party that my dad is actually letting me have. Well, i printed some of them. I have a general idea of who i'm inviting.
I'm SOOOOOO Behind on Clay stuff. I still have to watch his thing on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I think Wednesday is gonna be my day of cathing up and relaxing. I have nothing going on for ONCE in my life!!!! (besides school) YAY!!! NOBODY ask me to do anything on Wenesday because I'm NOT gonna, under any circumstance!!! Wenesday is gonna be watch Clay on JImmy Kimmel, and switch Jimmy Kimmel and Clay on Ellen Degneres onto another tape so I won't have the comercials. Then, After that it's hopefully finish Chanel's tape and get that sent to her. Ugh.
anyways. Im gonna go!
have a hapyp Clay day!

I'm so stressed right now. I need a day off!! a day to just do NOTHING. Since school started I've been running around like an idiot every waking moment of the day. I can't take it anymore!!!!! I'm either working, or with my mom, or at school. I work everyday for the next FOUR DAYS! Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. I'm about to have a mental breakdown. And I have no idea why I keep being schedualed for every frickin Sunday. Me and James are supposed to be alternating. And guess what?! WE HAVEN'T!!! I do have Youth Group on Sunday's that I really would like to be able to go to once in a while!!!!!!!! URRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!! I'm so fed up. I wanna quit. But I don't have another job, and unless I get one, I have to stay where I am. Anyone know where I can get a job?! anyone? Please?!
I saw the play at school last night. It was called "Our Town". To be honest, It wasn't as good as previous years. But Mike was REALLY good. He was the only character I found entertaining. Other than him, I kinda found it rather boring. (Sorry Mike!!!!!!) I zoned out a couple times. But it was a fun night I guess. Me and Rae met up with Kristin really early because we wanted front row seats. We got em' too!
They're wasn't that many people there either. But I did notice that people were messing up alot. Some of them tripped over their words. But It's all good. it happens to everyone at some point.
I'm not even in the mood to write about anything else. perhaps I will latter on tonight. For now I'm calling it quits.

Wow. I actually have a little bit of time to sit down and type out an entry. I've been sooooo busy. I haven't even had time to update about New York. I'll probably do that tomorrow, and post some of my pictures along wiht it.
Well, to start off, Like the new lay-out? My whole "month long celebration of Clay aiken's b-day" thing sorta fell through. I didn't make it as interactive as I wanted it cuz I just didn't ahve the time. I put this up temporarily untill I make my next Clay one (which should be soon). I'll probably put my Happy birthday Clay Lay-out back up next week sometime for the final count-down.
Moving on...
CLAY WON AN AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD!!!!!!!!! HE WON THE FAN"S CHOICE AWARD!!!! ::gives claymates a high-five:: WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!! ::CHEERS:: His performance with Ruben was alright. I don't think they should do duets together cuz their voices just don't match up right. They both have good voices, but they don't blend that well.
Something seriously bad happend at work on Sunday. Ill talk about it tomorrow, right now I'm gonna go. Just wanted to update alittle bit.
Ciao!
Peace, Love and Clay Aiken.

Im so mad right now it's not even funny. I'm so sick of my job. I can't deal with it anymore. I might quit. Just for my own mental stability. Tonight I really almost went postal on the place. I was checking in shipment the entire night. And you know what? I didn't even get to take a break. Not for 5 minutes. So i was stuck there working for the ENTIRE FRICKIN NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe Rhonda didn't let me go on a break. she just kept saying "check in this, check in that". She didn't even take into consideration that I might need a break. And she went on like 3 breaks. Then Cat came in to do some stuff and they both went out for a cigarette when It was about time for me to leave. So I had to stay an extra like 15 minutes just so they could fill their lungs with smoke and cancer. Being in that store for too long just drives me crazy. If another incident happens like this again, Im quitting. Im affraid I'm gonna have a serious mental breakdown if I don't. The best revenge I could get is to quit on the day after Thanksgiving when all the holiday shopping starts and the store gets really busy. ::Mr. Wick laugh:: ::evil grin::.
Anyways, enough about my crappy no-good job....moving on to better things.
Allow me to introduce you to my latest crush...

Photo credit I might ahve the link wrong...sorry, it wont be up for long
If you've seen The Breakfast Club you know who he is. He's Judd Nelson, the guy who played John Bender in the movie. I really don't know what I see in him Theres just something about him that I love. Of course, this movie was made back in the 80's so he obviously doesn't look the same now. (he actually looks rather weird now) but I LOVE him in this movie. I love his character, and everything about him. We watched the movie in psychology and i just fell in love with it....and him. LOL. But don't get me wrong, CLAY IS MY NUMBER 1!!!!! Don't ever forget it people! LOL.
Anyways, Im gonna go kick my dad for being loud now. ugh. someone help me. Ciao.

Eh. The past few days have just been...eh. Lauren hasn't been talking to me really. But then, I haven't been talking to her. I think the death of that kid got to her. I think she was good friends with him. I should get her a sympathy card or something. It was weird, she was in math class, and then she wasn't in guitar. Maybe she went home after 3rd period or something. Who knows. I hope she's at school tomorrow. So I can give her a card or something. I hope things lighten up as it gets closer to the Holidays. Im sick of all this doom-n-gloom.
I got my 5 dollar rebate in the mail from my Anger Management DVD though...so tahts an extra 5 dollars in my pocket. I wasn't even expecting to get the stupid thing. Or get it like 6 months from now when I forgot about it.
Ive been so busy lately. No time to do anything. I'm either working, at school, or at my mom's place all frickin' week. I just want it to slow down. I think school is the main problem though. School really gets me in a bad mood. Im so sick of it. I mostly hate waking up so frickin' early. Every morning, 6:15. That sucks! I like to sleep till at least 8 or 9.
On Friday I'm going to talk to my guidence counseller. Im asking her help. I know I'm gonna regret it, but I'm going anyways. The thing is, i have no direction. I have no schools picked out or anything. I dont' want to not do ANY form of education, I'm just being a little picky. I only wanna go for 2 years TOPS. No more than 2 years. I refuse. And I don't wanna take ANY academic stuff too. I just wanna focus on my acting and stage stuff. I have reasons behind that too other than i'm a dumb lazy freak who fails all my classes.
Anyways. I suppose i should shut up now while I still have a chance. Ciao :)
Peace, Love and Clay AIken.
(this is from Jeannette's journal. LOL
Well, that was quite interesting. In a split-second it started pouring rain, and then no more than a few seconds later, it stopped raining completely. Then five minutes later there's a clash of lightning (and no, Lauren, this time Im sure it wasnt someone taking out there trash can! )

No school tomorrow!!!! ::Dances:: I'm SOOOO happy. But I have to work at 6 so that kinda sucks. But Oh well.
Me and my Dad watched Monster Garage. Great show, it's on the discovery channel.
Guess where I'm going on Saturday?!?! NEW YORK CITY!!!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!! I LOVE NYC! being there is one of my favorite things. Especially little Italy ;). I also REALLY love TImes Square. I hope we get to go there. I am SUCH a city girl. Which is really weird because neither one of my parents are. Which is probably why i'm so antsy to get out of here!!! I can't wait! i'm soooo excited. The only thing that sucks is that we have to take subways around everywhere. I have this horrible fear of subways. I've been on them before, but I'm clostrophobic (sp?) so it's a little tough. I also have this horrible fear of bridges. I hate driving on a bridge over water especially....OH man, we had to drive on this bridge that was SOOOO big. It took like 15 minutes to get across on the way to Rhode Island on Saturday...I swear. I was gripping the seat and My eyes were shut tight. I hate bridges so much. Even walking or driving under a highway bridge scares the crap out of me. Yeah, I'm strange.
I can't wait to get my next lay-out up. It's gonna be "Solitaire". I'm still in the process of makeing my layouts in honor of all the songs that Clay sung on American Idol. Theres a couple that I might not do because I don't ahve any screen caps from the songs, and they're too long to upload onto Angelfire without it having a panick attack. After I'm done with those, I'll probably just start making general Clay lay-outs again. I've also had a couple ideas for other lay-outs to make besides Clay. But it's hard to stop making Clay ones! :).
I wish Kristin would get on!!!!!! me and her had the funniest conversation with this guy in a chatroom last night. OMG, it was SOOOO Funny. I was crying from laughing so hard. HISTERICAL! LOL- if u wanna learn more IM me. It was soooo great.
Anyways, Time to lie down and watch whose line!!!! yay!!!!
Peace, Love, and Clay Aiken
EVERYONE VOTE FOR CLAY!!!!!!

Awwwww!!!!!! I just had such a fun time at my cousin's wedding!!!! He looked so cute!! And his bride was beautiful too! i can't wait to get my pictures developed!!!! They look soooo cute together. But it wasn't just fun because we got to dance to "Grease Lightning" and "Summer Lovin'" (LOL). I twas fun cuz i think Russ is actually trying to start a more cousin-like relationship with me. He was so nice to me the whole night. When him and Catherine came around to the tables to say "hi" to everyone, i asked Catherine if I could take a picture of her and Russ together, and when i took it, Russ said "hey, get one of all three of us". I thought taht was kinda sweet All three of us did take a picture togeter. then before I left when I was saying "goodbye", he hugged me for like a minute. I suspected something like back when i went to my aunts for a cook-out. He was nice to me then too. He never was really talkative to me before. Im glad he is now. :-)~ Now all i ahve to do is get Julie to start talking to me (which will probably never happen) and ill be all set. but i really love my family. I love them all so much. I wouldn't trade them for anything. LOL- the funniest part of the wedding was when my cousin Glenn went up to my grandma and said "Hey gram, are you gonna bust a move on the dance floor?" LOL! I know it doesn't sound funny, but it was the way he said it that was just histerical. Oh, the wedding was so much fun!!! I had never been in a place where tehre was so many cute guys in my life!!!!! everywhere i turned BOOM! there they were. The closest I got to picking one of them up was when the bar-tender did a double-take when i walked by. he was REALLY cute! There was also this one guy who looked almost EXACTLY like Johnny Depp (escept shorter) I swear, he should enter a look-alike contest. The place where they had the wedding was a beautiful church. It was really nice in there. And the hall where they had the reception was REALLY nice. Really Really nice. I felt so rich and important the whole time. LOL. Anyways, I'm really tired and I gatta get up for church tomorrow. Ciao :-). Peace, love and Clay Aiken. More on the wedding tomorrow.

Okay, the kid who died was name "David". and I found out I know exactly who he is. He used to date Alix. I never said a word to him, but i saw him just about every morning. The worst part is that all of my friends knew him really well and they all don't wanna talk to me cuz they're too sad. I talked to Alix about it for a little while yesterday for the first time in God knows how long. But Lauren wouldn't say a word to me which was very bad because me and her talk ALL the time. It was so weird to go through math and guitar class not saying a word to each other.
Hm. i had a lot to talk about a minute ago. guess that didn't long. Ciao.
Peace, Love, and CLAY AIKEN

Today was sort of a weird day. We got some bad news. This kid named....umm....I honestly forgot his name...it started with a "D"....hmmm...I can't think of it. Anyways, it was announced today that he died last night. He either hung himself, or someone hung him. I don't even know who he was, but Katie told me that I would know him if I saw him. He used to hang out in the lobby in the morning with me and my crew, I just can't even picture him at all. I doubt I ever talked to him before. But isn't that sad? They don't know if it was an accident or not. It was announced today durring 5th period. I was in gym when they announced it.
Anyways, on a brighter note, tomorrows FRIDAY!!!! I don't know what it was with this week, but it was murder. Every day felt like Friday and I was looking forward to not having school the next day, and then i realized it was a different day.
Oh, a couple other news flashes that will have you all gasping. First of all, Lauren got a skirt. the first one i've ever owned in my entire life. I didn't buy it just for the hell of it, so don't get too excited, I got it for my cousin's wedding on saturday. I had nothing to wear except for my sleeveles dress that probably wouldn't work considering it's gonna be like 40 degrees on saturday. So, i was forced to buy something. If you're lucky, I might take a picture of me in it. but don't go getting your hopes up ;).
The other news flash is Lauren might actually be getting good grades this quarter! (except in math)
this is what i'm guessing my report card is gonna look like:
Psych- anywhere from a B- to an A
Math- D, possibly a C if a miracle happens...)
Acting- A (obviously ;) )
Guitar- A
Gym- A
English- anywhere from a B- to an A.
anyways, i gtg...ill edit latter.

yay!!!!! WHOSE LINE MARATHON TOMMORROW!!!!! 7 HOURS!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! ::dances::
This year is the first year that I didn't go trick-or-treating. I was originally supposed to go over Katies house but I didn't. Nope. She was in a bad mood and I didn't feel like dealing with it. I don't think Rae ever made it over either. I ended up going over Lauren's hosue and we watched movies the whole night. We watched Not Another Teen Movie (I have no idea why i ever agreed to watch that movie. It was discusting and really increidbly stupid), and Tommy Boy which was histerical cuz it has David Spade and Chris Farley in it. Then we watched my DVD of Saturday Night Live: the best of Adam Sandler. I went there at 6:30 and got hom at like 12. yeah, it was a long night. LOL. Lauren drew me the CUTEST cartoon of Clay. Im gonna scan it and put it on here. It's SO cute!! And she also drew me a picture of the Autism Awareness ribbon. Very very cool. Lauren also let me borrow her Adam Pascal CD. He's REALLY good looking and a great singer. HELP! She's turning me into a ZOMBIE!!!! You can blame her for a couple things...She's pretty much how I got obsessed with Clay because she's the one who told me to watch American Idol. (well, part of that was also Jeannette because she started watching it and writing about Clay in her diary.) Now she got me started on her favorite authors (adam rapp) books, and she got me started with Adam Pascal too. It's her fault!!!! LOL.
I know I was supposed to have the rest of my Clay stuff up today but I didn't have time. I might get to it tomorrow, I dunno. We'll see. right now, im gonna go. Ciao!
Peace, Love, and Clay Aiken
