[-Hey All-]

Today is ok. Eh, not the greatest. I'm frickin' worried abou this AP test. Oh lordy, I need to study, but what the hell is my problem? I'm an idiot. Anyway, guitar was fun. He just bought this Eric Clapton signature acoustic guitar, which is cool. He let me play it, but I played this stupid song which is easy and gay. I should have played Layla, cuz it was Eric Clapton signature, get it? Ok nevermind. Yea, but it was fun. I just suck. I'm not being hard on myself, I mean, I do think that I'm good for as long as I've been playing, but I can be a lot better. I want to be as good and better than everyone else. So, we're just gonna have to practice more and do things more slowly because I'm just trying to go for speed, which is retarded because it obviously doesn't sound as good. So I need to do that. I was reading this guy's newsletter. He thinks a LOT of himself. His name is Jamey Andreas or something like that. I mean, yeah, he does have some good advice and stuff about playing, but he always says how he helps people to play their best and that he corrects all their bad techniques, ect... and it sorta pisses me off. But hey, whatever. Um, yea. I'm gonna stop with guitar for now because it's sorta frustratin' me now. I want to be good. I'm gonna make flash cards for myself so I can learn the fretboard. Cuz I need to do that too. But I'm getting better, "a little bit better all the time."

We had a team dinner tonight. It was fun. It was at Sam's house. We had lasagna. It was good. We watched Enough. It was a pretty good movie, suspenseful. Yep. I guess that's about it. Oh just kidding. We've been doing that STAR (Standard Testing And Reporting) testing lately. It's pretty boring after you get done with the test. Dude, my CD player is so loud when you turn it on. Not the volume, the mechanism that turns the CD. So I press play, then everyone looks at me. Damn. Oh well. Yea, then today there was a lock-down. A real one. It was scary. It always seems to me that I'm the only one who cares and is actually panicked. Whatever, apparently some guy threw some girl out of a window near "our" neighborhood and some dude was running around with a gun. So yea, that's pretty scary, and then Amanda was saying that last week 3 guys were planning to go around our campus and randomly shoot at students. Ok what the hell. Our school has like no security ever. Our school isn't even inside. There are no hallways or corridors, it's just open. So I don't know if that's true or not because Morgan told her this. But anyway, I thought it was scary. So I guess that's it noooww. Better finish those 4 math problems, well, the last four. Then get some sleep. Ciao.

[-Happy Easter!-]

Hey everybody! I hope everyone had a nice Easter (or day if you don't do Easter). So anyway, today was allright I guess. I don't know, we should have just done it at our house. Well, my grandpa is in the hospital (still) and my grandma is too weak to do anything. So it sorta sucked. Well, I woke up about 10 this morning. My mom kept trying to wake everyone up. I was the only one who got up. My sister just sleeps all the time, and my dad had a hang-over, which wasn't cool. Well last night my neighbors John and Elizabeth came over with dinner. (See, we always have them over, but they've only had us over once. There's sorta a problem when they want us to come over because they're dining room table is messy because John uses it as a work bench. So they just made dinner and brought it over).

But I wasn't there, as you all know I was at the Plummer Auditorium (in Fullerton) to see the Reduced Shakespear Company. They were very funny. If they're near you I suggest seeing it because it's really funny. I had a good time. We left school about 6:30 pm and got there about 7:40. The show started at 8 pm. Ms. Linville bought all these seats because she thought people were going to go, but they didn't. So we got to trade our bad seats on the end for some ones closer to the middle. Sean is a dumbass. Sorry Sean if you're reading this. It must be that "then-the-dragon-comes" syndrome I've come up with. But that's besides the point, it was a fun night. After the show (about 10 pm) we went to Baskin Robbins. Muahaha, it was fun and yummy. Haha, before we left on the field trip, Tim rides up with his dad on their motorcycle. It was pretty funny/cool, like in a movie. You know how the person takes off the helmet then shakes their hair, yeah, that happened. It was pretty funny. It sorta sucked though, because the juniors are my friends, but they aren't my close friends so I sorta only had Sean. But whatever. I got home about 11:20 pm. My mom painted my nails, and I fell asleep on the couch. Then I woke up and was going to sleep in my bed, but my guitar was lying on it and there was other stuff and I didn't want to move it all, not to mention my room was already a mess. So I went back out to the living room and decided I wanted to go get my favorite pillow, so I went back to my room and my mom scared me because she was going to put flowers in there, so she's right behind me when I turn around. Ay. Back to the beginning-

(So I get up) and I check out my Easter basket. It was cool. I got a bear in a bunny costume (hehe), candy (of course) , Taboo (the game), and some Sponge Bob toothpaste (???). Then I go take a shower and get ready, go online, wait for my other family members to get ready. By the time everything is done and we get over to my grandparents house it's noon. My aunt and uncle are there (yay!) and we just chill until dinner is ready (well lunch/dinner). Then afterwards we went to the hospital to visit my grandpa. Which is sorta sad. He obviously wasn't home and my unlce didn't really want to sit at the head of the table, because that's not his place at the table, but he did anyways because my grandma said that's what grandpa wanted. It was saddening. But I won at egg warez! (hell yes!) I made this cool yellow egg and I put a smiley face on it with those weird Q-Tip things. I kept winning, and they all said it was rigged. What? No. They just don't know how to play. Muahaha. So after everything we got home around 5 pm. Then my sister left. And other not-that-important stuff happened.

So I hope your Easter was better than mine. It's not like mine sucked or anything, but it could have been better. Anyway, see ya'll later. CAT 6 testing coming up this week (BOO!) so do good on them so you can get another scholarship (yay! free money!) So I'm tired. 'night.

[-Hell Yeah! (Hell Yeah!)-]

Today is getting better. Hopefully tonight will be fun. I'm going to see this play with History Club. We're going to see this play in Fullerton by the "Reduced Shakespear Company." So I hope it's cool. There's this cool music station on our Satelite dish it's the "Roadhouse" Channel. It's cool. They play good music. Cool country stuff.

Today we went over to my Grandma's house to color Easter eggs. When we got there, my sister and I thought she was dead. It was scary. Well, she was just sitting in our chair and wasn't moving, but then we saw her chest go up so she was breathing (thank the lord) and so we're like "Oh she's just sleeping..." Oh man, it freaked us out. It's not like she's that old or anything, it's just that she's sick and sutff, and my Grandpa is in the hospital. He had some sort of heart failure. Oh lordy, I'm scared. This is going to be the first Easter I've had without him. Apparently he wasn't there before, but that was like 20 years ago. But our eggs were colored cool. We made them marblized, like the one's in Martha Stewart's magazine. Then there's these weird things that are like Q-Tips with dye in them so you can write on the egg or draw stuff, whatever. So I wanted to write 'Happy' on one and 'Easter' on the other. But that didn't work out. Haha, see, On the front of one egg it says 'Hap' on the back it says 'py.' The other egg says 'East' then on the back it says 'er.' Oh it's great. Hehe. So that's where I'm going tomorrow. We should have just done it at our house. My grandparents refuse to believe that they can't do it anymore. They're not even making anything. We're, well, more like my sister, is making the dinner for us to go over there. Hopefully my Uncle Johnny and Aunt Bonnie come. They're cool.

I just heard this great guitarist on the Roadhouse channel. Her name is Susan Tedeschi, I only heard one song, I hope the rest is as good as that one song. It's called "You're in my Hair." I'm gonna try and download some more of her stuff. She sounds really cool, it's blues. I was surprised it was a woman. So we'll see.

So last night I hung out with Sammy at her house and we went to pizza. We watched This is Spinal Tap. Oh man, that movie is funny. Not as funny as some other movies, but it's a great mock-umentary. Muahaha. Conan O'Brien rocks! School was ok. We sent Sammy like 40 balloons, but not all of them got sent, so even more get to come on Monday! Muahaha. Hmm, I guess that's it.

Here's the friday five.

1. Who is your favorite celebrity?
Number 1!! Initials are TS. If you guess who it is, I'll give you a prize...maybe.

2. Who is your least favorite?
Either Mark Walberg or Jennifer Love Hewitt

3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?
YES!! I saw John Laroquete, Bill Mahr, Tommy Lee, and Al Pacino. We actually at lunch at the table next to Al Pacino at and then another time by John Laroquete. It was so cool!

4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?
Hells yes. Because I would want to have a lot of money. And I could live next door to other celebrities. Yay!

5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?
Ooo, um, maybe Frankie Muniz because he's young and probably knows a lot of cool people.

[-Sara Talks to Melissa (the good Melissa (Anderson))-]

Yesterday, was a pretty busy day. It was a busy day I guess, or I just don't study. I don't know I'm retarded. I've been downloading songs a lot. Mainly Stevie Ray and stuff. It was sad. I found out how he died. I knew he was dead, but I didn't know how he died. In a helicopter crash BTW. Um, Guitar was fun! He quote "bitched" end-quote at me. But I said I needed to be bitched at. I can't do quote "wussy hammer-ons" and I need to quote "get it like this (really fast and good, so it sounds good). Don't come in here and play it like this (all wussy and timid, just like the way I play)." I wish I had like 3 hours a day to practice, but I don't. IB takes up a lot of time, but that's more important. Um, yea, it's really cool. He's letting me borrow one of his CDs and he's going to keep giving me a new one every week so I can come home and bring it back. I think that's cool. Well, we listen to the same kind of music, so that's cool. We listened to it. It's the Fabulous Thunderbirds. This cool blues band. Well, from what I heard they sound cool. He kept asking me if I liked that kind of music and I do. I don't really have a lot of this kind of music in my house because I don't really go to the music store a lot and my dad doesn't really have any. I wore my contacts tonight. I wish I hadn't, but I need to wear them. I don't feel like myself without them. I'm going to wear them tomorrow at school so we'll see what happens. Oh, so I knock on the door today and guess what. There's a guy there. Before I went in I told my dad someone was gonna be there when I knocked on the door. Oh well. Haha, so we worked on hamme-ons and pull-offs. I was doing ok. I just make everything sound wimpy. I should just play loud all the time, loud and crappy. It'll only make me better, right? Hehe :-) So yea, I get some cool music now. My dad also wants a copy. Wanker. Haha, I'm just kidding, kidding.

Our game today got moved to Corona. We were supposed to be home, but our field was too "muddy." Or something like that. So I didn't get to tell my friends I was coming over. But I saw Melissa then I called her tonight. She seems to believe I have a "thing" for my guitar teacher. I just like to play, you know. I like have it on my mind all the time, I want to do so much better. I want to be as good as Greg (and better). But that takes time. But anyway, she says "ewww" to people I'm friends with. Like Amy B. and Will. But hey, she's not their friends. Oh well, I don't care. Enough rambling. Eh, she's dumb. Haha, just kidding, but she doesn't really know what's going on in my life and how I react to people anymore. It's probably similar to before. I don't know. I'll shutup. Hehe.

Euro test was pretty easy. I don't know about the pre-cal test though. We'll just see tomorrow. Roy wasn't here today. He was sick I guess. Well, he had like a fever or somethin'. I was sorta dissappointed when I had to leave chemistry. The notes were really interesting today. Yea, I'm a loser. Tomorrow's a minimum day, yay! Maybe I'll get something done. Hehe. Just too much going on. I'm just gonna stay at school and eat my lunch. Go up to the field about 12:50 pm, practice is at 1:00 pm. I don't know what else I was gonna write about. I'll think of it later probably.

[-My Weekend In Review-]

This weekend was allright. I still need to do my Euro worksheet though. But that's allright, it won't take that long. Well:
Friday- I went down to Irvine with my sister we ate at my Grandma's. My cousins were there. They're cool. Then after that my sister and I went to go see Old School. That movie if FUH-NEY! Ear muffs! Will Ferrell is funny. And Luke Wilson is cute! I like him.

Saturday- Oh yea, I went to get my contacts. Yep, Sara finally got contacts. I think I need some make up or something to get rid of these lines under my eyes. They're only there when I'm tired, and IB is not helping that. But I love IB. Although it's a pain in the ass, I still like it. I wouldn't want it to be any other way. Um, yea, and I just like went shopping with my mom and stuff.

Sunday (today!)- Let's see. Well I had practice with my travel team. Hmm...I don't know if I want to stay. I guess as of now, yeah...but I really need to call 2 or maybe 3 people. Ok. So we'll see. Then I worked on my homework. I actually finished in a good time. Then ate dinner. Watched the Simpsons. Oh man. Tonight's show was really funny. That's the most I laughed at a Simpsons episode in the longest time. Sure there are a few occasional chuckles, but tonight had full on laughs. Anyway, back to the daily grind tomorrow. How exciting. Oh, yea, I got all the dates and stuff for April's Calendar, but I'm too lazy to go get it, and too tired to type it all in. Possibly tomorrow. I'll probably have time. Here's the last friday five.

1. What was the first band you saw in concert?
Boys of the Lough (it's Celtic), my parents took me, and I do like that kind of music.

2. Who is your favorite artist/band now?
The Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughn (he's amazing).

3. What's your favorite song?
Oh, wow. Ok, well I guess for now "Long Afternoons" by Jerry Jeff Walker. But he didn't write the song.

4. If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
Well, I play the guitar right now, so I wanna play it better. But I guess for this question either a mandolin or a banjo.

5. If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why?
Ooo, um, Stevie Ray Vaughn or Eric Clapton. Ooo, or maybe Jim Morrison.

See ya later!

[-Jerry Jeff!-]

Hey all. Let's see, what happened today? Well, I got up, went to practice, came home, and was an idiot. Practice was okay. Amanda was running it. She would be a good coach. I don't know but people weren't into it. Then my neighbor came to pick me up. Kim gave me a ride down to the teacher's parking lot and I almost killed myself when I got out of the car. Hehe, well, it's not a car, it's a truck, not to mention it's only LIFTED with HUGE wheels. So I was getting out of the car and I forgot how high up it was so I stuck both feet out waiting for the ground, and it didn't come. Haha, so I sorta just slid out of the car. But it was fun. Then I came home and was an idiot because I didn't do any homework. I really need to do it man. That's why I'm doing all of it tomorrow. Adam R wants me to go to Disney Land with him, but I have to stay home and work on my homework or I'm going to be screwed this weekend, and I don't wanna be screwed. You know, there's only like 9 weeks of school left. Wow. UGH I want it to be summer! That's "my" season. Go look up some astrology stuff, I'm cancer by the way. Anyway, yea, if it was summer I could rock all day long. I want/need to be better. I feel it. I love it!!

So instead of doing homework, I cleaned my room. I was going to do hw, but I really need a clean environment, or a somewhat clean environment. It's hard to do work when things are thrown all over the place and you're tyring to find something. Now my room is clean. Yay! Then I left because I had batting tonight. It was allright. High school isn't helping me out right now. Stupid school ball. Oh well. Then I came home from that and ate dinner. My mom did my nails after my shower. They're blue. I feel like something is missing in me I don't know. Let me think this through.

I finally found the 1st volume to Jerry Jeff Walker - A Man Must Carry On. I've been looking for it for a long time. Well my dad had the CD case but no CD. Now that I have the CD, I can't find the case. It'll turn up. Anyway, it was really bothering me for a long time because I would be singing one of his songs and I couldn't think of who the artist was. But now I know! "Don't it make ya wanna dance? Don't it make ya wanna smile? When you're down, down, down, in the country let me sing a while..." I also like they're recording from some barn. The track is called "Stereo Chickens" mauahaa...Yesssssss! He's great! I should probably listen to the 2nd volume again. I tried to listen to it before, but it's not really any songs, I think it's just poems. All I can remember is that he talks an awful lot. But maybe it's good stuff, you never know.

I've been reading my horoscope lately. I don't think any of them have "come true" or maybe I'm mistaken. Ehh, now I'm just telling you junk stories. I'll just see you later. Bye!

[-Hmm-]

Hey everyone! Today is Adam T.'s birthday. Yay! Ok, well not today anymore. It was Karan's party tonight. I had a nice time. I don't know, I'm really tired right now. Well, this morning I had practice, then I had to go to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, then I went to the hair dresser to get my hair cut. Yea, and she accidentally cut my face. Not cool at all. Ugh I need to go wash my face because it feels gross. So my mom and I spent like 2 hours in traffic. That really sucked ass. It was making me bored and tired so I ended up playing snake on my cell phone. Damn that sucked. So Karan's was fun, we played video games and watched some TV.

What the hell is my problem. Why do I tell priveledged information to people!? I'm an idiot. I won't do it again. Or at least I'll try not to. It's like a drug. I need to give it up. (By the way, I DON'T do drugs. That really screws you up too). I need a really really close best friend. I'm not being mean or anything to my best friends right now, it's just that they don't like my music and that's important to me now. But I don't know anyone, so yea. One day...

I better do my homework tomorrow. I don't care. That's all I'm going to do. So that means I better go get some sleep. So I'll see you later. Have a nice day, don't do anything bad, stay safe. Peace-

[-He playfully grabbed my arm-]
I was stunned. I didn't know what to do. He thought I was looking at him 'meanly' but I was just surprised. Why don't I ask him questions about himself? Ugh. Then I would know more. I wonder if he thinks me as a friend; I think him as a friend, and I love him as one. He's a really cool guy. Too cool, too cool for school.... :-) Then I walked into the place, I could smell his smell. Yum Yum Good.

Today was fun. Roy, Noah, and Adam T. called me on there way from Adam R's (they spent the night) wanting me to come over to Roy's. I did. I almost didn't go. But they convinced me. It was fun. We played pool and went to this Chinese Buffet that was allright, but I really didn't want to go there. We should have just gone to Jack-in-the-box. I wasn't that hungry! Oh well...It was his dad's idea. Later we played poker, Filipino poker, and blackjack. We called Sammy over later. She wasn't home before. Then I left about 3:30. I didn't want to be there all day like I was at Adam's. Damn. Oh well. I had to practice my guitar anyways. And that brings me to guitar.

I LOVE IT!! Today was great. There's that "almost summer" feeling in the air. It reminded me of the days with Mark. Aww, Mark. But yea. I played Black Dog for him because that's what we had just done. Haha, dude, Greg is like an astrology guru. Ok, not "guru" per say, but he knows what dates are in each sign. He asked when Bob's birthday was and concluded that she is aquarius and that's why she -senihw- all the time. Then he asked when my birthday was (June 28 everyone, hehe) and noted I was a cancer just like his girlfriend. And that I might be a -renihw- too. I told him. WoOoOo!! Haha, I guess he likes me the best because he jokes around with me all the time and tells me stuff that happens to him. Well he's never mentioned a girlfriend before. Hmm, I wonder if it's the same girl he had his kid with? Note to everyone: Having a kid without being married is not cool. I don't like it. *Unless both parties consented to having a child and raising it together. But anyway, yea. Um, we worked on the book. I learned some new chords. I really need to memorize the ones I don't know. That doesn't make sense; what I'm trying to say is I need to learn the names of the chord shapes I already know. Haha, he actually remembered something too, hey there's another reason on the list of why he likes me better than that other person. Hmm...That Kieth Richards thing. Anyway, remember about that "almost summer" feeling, well there were flies, well not really flies, more like gnats in there. He was saying something like the trash can was right there or something, then I said "Who brought them in? You?" Hehe... "Oh, that was cold" "Just kidding!" "No, but Kelly says she has them too" "Yea, Kelly brought them in, it was Kelly" "I feel better now :-)" He was talking on the phone when I got there. You know, I should just knock on the door from now on. Dude, seriously, whenever I come no one is there. Actually, hmm, I wonder why he was in a good mood today. Well, he's always in a "good" mood but today he was in an especially good mood. Eh whatever. But I LOVE playing the guitar. I just love playing it. It's so fun, and it just like relaxes me, and when I do something new or I actually get something, I amaze myself. Yessss...Smiles!

[-Hey Hey Mama said the way you move, gonna make ya sweat gonna make you grove-]

So what's up ya'll? Nothing much over here. Let's see what happened this past week. Well, I was getting restless at school because it was almost spring break! Yea!! Um, I forget what happened, so let's talk about Friday night. I didn't have practice that afternoon (allrighhh; although we did lose to Santiago the day before [10-0]). So Sammy and I walked to her Grandma's house. Then she gave us a ride home. My sister didn't show up until about 5:00. My parents went to Vegas this past weekend so they weren't home. So I danced around and sang cool songs, went online, watched some T.V. Then my sister went to the store and bought a Fresceta pizza. It was good. Then I stayed up really late watching 100 Girls. Haha, it's a funny movie. So I like went to bed at 4 am. Which wasn't that good because I had to go some where on Saturday, but I didn't really have to get up when I did. Saturday I had to go help my travel team with a fundraiser. It sorta sucked; I helped run the snack bar. It was okay, but the first customer, my friend Allison and I were trying to make change, but then she decided to buy something else, so we got all mixed up and I felt really dumb. How sad is that, I'm an IB kid. Come on now. So then after that my sister came and got me and we went to my aunt's house for dinner. I spent the night. My cousin's supposed boyfriend was there. Dude, he is so rude. He hasn't even said hello to me. Fucking jerk face. I'm not just cussing because; this guy is really rude (and ugly). SO after we dropped him off we went to Tower Records and I bought a Led Zeppelin CD. Oh yea...I wanted to buy a Johnny Cash CD but I couldn't find his name. I found Commander Cody, but I already have a couple of CDs from him. Uh...then my sister and cousin had a hankering for Fun Dips (hehe) so we went to 2 liquor stores. The 1st one didn't have them, but the 2nd one did. We almost didn't get any, but I saw them on the way out (oh, I'm good). So we went back to her house and my sister left and I spent the night. The next day we went to Disney Land. It was fun. There was hardly any lines. The longest wait was like 40 minutes. That's pretty good considering it's Disney Land. Usually the lines are like an hour and thirty-five minutes. We went on Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, the Jungle Cruise, and the Tea Cups (muahaha). We probably would have went on more rides but we got there at 3 pm. Hah. Ya.

Today, I had practice in the morning. It was only batting. Pretty easy. We have the same thing on Wednesday and then fielding on Thursday. So after practice Roy came and got me and we went to study at Adam R.'s Noah and Adam T. came later. Um, we studied the 1st couple of chapters and then we studied the last chapter we covered, since we have a test next Tuesday. Then we watched Tora! Tora! Tora! I thought it was cool, but I didn't really get to watch it, well, they were talking and wrestling. Haha. Um, then we just started to play games and stuff. I guess they're going to Roy's tomorrow but I'm not sure if I'm going to go. I think I want to do all my other work, because I have other things planned for the week. Yea, but I've got to go to dinner now, so have fun. Bye!

[-Hey Everybody-]

What's up? Eh, nothing over here. I'm really tired but I need to study for chemistry. I've been having weird dreams lately. I kept dreaming my coach would put me in. I actually got to start today. I really don't care how stadolka feels because I felt the same way. So there. Guitar was fun. Yea, I had this other weird dream that I was getting a guitar lesson at my house and we were going to play the banjo. Haha, banjos are cool. Um, yea, then my light went out. And when I woke up, my light was out. But it wasn't the same one I dreamed about, it was the other one. Weird... So anyway, we worked on Black Dog again. I'm getting better on catching on to things. Yep. I'm good, but I want to be pro. Damn, one day, one day... Hahah! He was doing this funny-ass thing I guess Keith Richards does. He strums down to sustain the chord, and then like squats down and points to the crowd. Haha, so Greg showed me. It was pretty frickin' funny. He kept doing it too. I was "trying" to be serious. Haha. Yea, it was funny. So I just need to work on that song some more. Dude! People keep bringing their guitars to school. I used to be special, but now it seems like everyone plays and that they are better than me. I haven't ever heard them play before, but I it's threatening. That's my reason for everything. If I don't like someone it's either because they're threatening, or they're just plain frickin' annoying. Or, they try to hard to get people to like them. Ok, don't they understand they're not funny/they aren't smart. Ugh, it PISSES me off!!

Enough ranting...
