Why We Need Caller ID.

Alyssa: Hello?
Voice from phone: [slurred, stumbling]Hey, how's it goin'
Alyssa: um. HelLO?
Voice from phone: Hey babe. Wassup?
Alyssa: I- uh- I think you have the wrong number.

Voice from phone: Who's THIS?
Alyssa: ....This is Alyssa. Who IS this?
Voice from phone: ooh. Thassa pretty name. What's yo-...
Alyssa: CLICK.


Well. That was awkward. Happy Halloween, I guess. The holiday of drunken prank calls.


ps: When I tried to *69 the number, it had been blocked. 25¢ down the drain.

This Weekend

Murder Mystery is this weekend... I am so incredibly excited.
Not only do I get to go to MM10/ the Shine Bright Baby concert, I get to see so many people... including my BEST FRIEND, whom I have not seen since camp. Ohhh, I can't wait.
I'm so glad things are so... normal.. on my end again. HOOOOORAYYYY!!!!
AAAND I get to see my Gracie, and Jocie, and Jared, and Maggie, and Molly, and Levi, and HUNTER!!! AHHHH!!!!!
Now I just need to stop being sick.
Meh.

To Ten Million Fireflies, I'm Weird 'Cause I Hate Goodbyes...

History class starts at 1. NOT 2. History class starts at 1. NOT 2. History class starts at 1. NOT 2. (Repeat 100 times daily, until that does not happen again- close call, but it was alright!)

I took the PSAT this morning. It was disgustingly easy, but that's all I'm allowed to say about it, under punishment of law (or destroyed test scores.) Of course, Emilyy and I may or may not have chatted at Applebee's after... but whatever.

We left our tip for the waiter in the shape of a vampire face.

I'm tired of dreaming about backdrops and portrait collections.

I have a blue wristband on my left arm that says "DOMINATE." It's for work. I'm unnaturally excited about it.

"But I'll try, for your love"

I need to sleep for about 36 hours. Even 24. I might settle for 12-14, if they were uninterrupted. Bleh.

English class today... I got more angry than I've been since Mr. Marakovitz told us that our song for band was about "Jesus and other crap like that" in 7th grade. But that's another story for another time.

Stopped at Emilyy's on the way home from English to share with her the offending piece of poetry, and the accompanying essay and dialogue. Both of which are also, other stories for another time.

Worked from 1-7. That lunch break I was supposed to have from 2-3? It was consumed by photographing two adorable children in Halloween costumes. (A turtle and a giraffe, both age 1)

I met my boss's boss, took a LOT of pictures, escaped twice to gulp water from the drinking fountain, sweated through my makeup, scheduled some appointments, enhanced portraits, sold portraits, assured parents that the cut on their child's chin was NOT visible in the portrait, fake-smiled, and made lots of noises like "Aaahhhh BOO! I'm'a getchu!! I'm'a getcher toesies!"

Bought an Arizona Tea on the way home, and here I sit. I need to write this History paper and GO TO SLEEP.

Today has been Eventful

So far today...

Warren (The 55 year old man behind me in Spanish) announced that he "could do the Cupid Shuffle."

Bergita told us about "Santa's Little Helpers."

I found out that one of the girls in my Spanish class is going to Spring Arbor.

I witnessed a man loudly writing a rap song in front of the CMC.

I watched a hackey-sack circle.

It's only noon. And I still have to work. This is going to be interesting.

"When the hours turn to minutes and I'm seconds away."

This last week or two has been crazy.
Highlights:

Home(school)coming 2009!!! Sooo much fun...Kaylie, Craig, and Jonny stayed at my house after. Angela was an incredible hair/makeup/photographer. Rrrrrossa was a great ride :] The whole night was such a grand time of laughter, Italian food, bowling, and staying up late.
I got a 102.6% on my first ever college exam. Granted, it was Spanish, and it was incredibly easy. But still. I've made "friends" in all of my classes- at least, there are people I could call if I missed, and they would tell me what I had missed.

Nana and Papa took me to lunch between classes one day. On the way home, I managed to get lost in downtown Flint. THAT was an experience.

I got a job!!! I start tomorrow at the JC Penney Portrait Studio. I'm pretty excited- I get to take pictures and get paid for it! :]

We got to go to a Tigers' Game in a suite courtesy of FSN Detroit... food, friends, and fun :] (I'm alliterating- because Billy Sr. came!) The fact that Kaylie was there meant that I didn't WATCH much baseball... but the Tigs won 7-2.



Hillsdale County Fair Weekend 2009 was incredibly fun. Sleep-deprived secret telling, early morning, coffee with Jared, Wendy's for "real food" and wi-fi, family, "lunch" with Jared, Fair, Levi finally coming, meeting new friends (Kyle, or Conway, as Emilyy called him), and one of the best family dinners in a long time.

Today, I taught Junior Church. We have such an incredibly diverse (personality-wise) group of kids in that class, it's always intriguing.
After church, we had a delicious lunch, then I finished my English essay (observing a scene.) Watched some TV, read for a while, then I actually took a nap. The last time I did that was at camp.
Well. I think I'll go to bed now. I'm pretty much an elderly lady when it comes to sleep patterns right now... still trying to catch up from staying up until 5:30 after hsc. :]]

Love.
