Texas was SUCH a blast!

Let's start with the plane ride there. Ang gets a new camera and, like I was when I first got my cam, was obsessed. So we're taking picture after picture, totally annoying the people around us on the plane. The one guy in front of us keeps making comments like "That's a nice little toy ya got there" Pretty sweet. Then Ang decides to smash a can into my head while taking a picture of it right as the captain's walknig by, and he goes "No fighting girls" Then when he walks by again Ang is making an angry face picture and he's says "Girls, settle down." I'm sure if we hadn't been 3481983251 feet in the air they would've thrown us off

So we get there and Tori sees us through the glass window at baggage claim and we run up screaming and hugging and all that jazz. Honestly people thought we were crazy.

Her house is beautiful! unfortunatly it's in the middle of nowhere with cow pastures all around and only one coffee shop for the whole town which isn't even a Starbucks. Her school is no joke in the middle of a ranch. I was like whooa culture shock. 

Funny conversation:

Angela: What's the diff?

Brandon: (heavy southern accent) Diff? What's diff?

Angela: Difference, like um take a long word and cut it in half, abbriviating it.

Brandon: Uh, I don't say any words longer than three syLAbles.  (he pronounced it wrong)

Ohh boy. They also didn't know what the word vulnerable meant, they didn't think they lived in the country, and they thought WE were the ones that had SOUTHERN accents. I could understand if they thought we had an accent different from theirs, but they said "Nah we don't have no accent. Y'all have a sweet southern accent."

We drove up to Dallas like an hour away to the Galleria which has the best shops in the world. I found these adorable shoes which where like a million dollars but who cares. When I'm a movie star I'll wear all the million dollar shoes I want. We also went to Saks Fifth and TIFFANY's and tried on everything.

Let's see, we also went swimming a whole day and got black basically. Our Mexican waiter was spanish... Tori spoke spanish to him perfectly while me and Ang would yell out different phrases that we knew like COMO TE LLAMAS and GRACIAS. The basics.

So Lisa leaves for college monday, and then Friday I'm driving up with my mom to get her situated. I'm so so sad she's leaving. Also really sad I had practically no time over the summer to hang out with her. I think on the way back though we're visitng Luke in Gettysburg so that will be fun.

Show choir camp next week and then school starts. I probably won't update for a while so this one was extra long to make up for it. Although I guess it wasn't that incredibly long, just details of trip to texas. If you haven't seen them, the pictures are: http://community.webshots.com/album/425085066nOLFvw 

Love!

Mk so I wrote this long entry then I accidently deleted it all so I'll give you the brief summary:

Ahh TCL was amazing!! I met soo many great people, although I don't think I'll ever get Afternoon Delight out of my head. I'll get my pictures up some day... my camera died on me so it will take a while to charge up. Here's Alyssa's pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/419346055wOeOWP

She was by the way the best high ropes partner a person can have. I looved my small group too.. you guys are the best.

IMPORTANT!! I'm going to see Tori Link this weekend!! I'm SO excited!! And we're going to ride on dirt roads into town, and party with cow boys, and have our whole life revolve around high school football like all the locals there. And Angela is coming too!!! OMG excitment to the MAX

I babysat today and it was awsome because 1, the girls are angels. 2, one of them was away at a friends house all day, but 3, I still got paid $14 an hour. Lovely.

Well I have to go call Angela as well as Tori. I love you all! (especially my TCLers!) muah

I've been so incredibly busy lately. Mostly because of playhouse, but that's over Friday -- the day of the show. So if you really want to have a good laugh, I'd recommend coming to Playhouse in the Park at 2:30. And you won't be laughing at the improvisation, like you'd expect to after watching Who's Line is it Anyway because there's only like five people that are actually good at improv and the rest of us are positivly horrible. You'll be laughing at the choreography of the whole musical theater section. But honestly, you probably shouldn't come at all because it will be a waste of time.

I've actually had a ton of fun the past two weeks with everyone in the camp although I'm not a big fan of the teachers. Sarah, Paige, Angela, Alex, and I all decided we're doing TX next year... we'll just have to find out if their musical interferes with our spring play.

Ahh enough of all this drama business. Theater doesn't totally rule my life or anything...

I learned how to drive a stick shift! Sam let me drive his car, and I must say I'm excellent at it. I only stalled the car twice, and once was in the parking lot at the very beginning when I didn't know anything. So basically I'm amazing at that.

Last night I hung out at Amanda's house with Bobby and Chris... that was fun considering I hadn't seen them in sooo long. They both sufficiently made me feel guilty for not coming to Bobby's party on saturday, although it honestly was not my fault! Plus I looove Amanda and our fantastic Moulin Rouge singing skills.

Did I mention yet that my brother got a bunny? And it completely hates me. Robby will pick it up and it will cuddle on his shoulder or whatever. I pick it up and it clambers all over me until it finds a spot to settle down and dig it's nails into me. It also runs away whenever I try to pick it up. I've given up.

Soo yeah that's about it for now. Oh wait I just took this quiz to see what year I should live in... I got 1958. I prove my point

Playhouse in the Park started yesterday, and it was pretty fun. Haha out of a class of 25 people, there's 24 girls and only 1 guy. I feel kind of bad for him, but kind of not. I wouldn't exactly be complaining about being in a class of 24 guys and me.

Anywayy so that's been happening. I also hung out with Daniel, Matt, and Amanda the other night. That was probably the most fun I've ever had until the very end of the night which was horrible. Amanda, after your get back from Florida and all, we're going to party it up again. Oh and I still have Daniel's sweatshirt which is like a dress when I wear it because he's a foot taller than me.

ahh haha so I found this name thing in Monica's lj, thought I'd give it a go... see if any are more interesting than my own name:

1. YOUR PORN STAR NAME: (name of first pet + street you live on): Tippy Tecumseh
2. YOUR MOVIE STAR NAME: (grandmother's/father's first name + favorite snack): Izolina Ritz
3. YOUR FASHION DESIGNER NAME: (first word you see on your left + favorite restaurant): Links Panera
4. YOUR SOCIALITE NAME: (silliest childhood nickname + first town where you partied): Never had a nickname which I'm really quite angry about
5. YOUR "FLY GIRL/GUY" NAME: (first initial + first three letters of your last name): KMor -- I get that a lot anyway
6. YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite animal + name of high school):  Zebra Ursuline
7. YOUR BARFLY NAME: (last snack food you ate + your favorite drink): Kiwi Daquiri
8. YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name + street where you first lived): Anne Ocean
9. YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (favorite candy + favorite musicians last name): Reeses Morello
10. YOUR OPPOSITE SEX NAME: (name of [opposite sex] friend + cell phone company you use): Brandon Verizon
11. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: ( first 3 letters of your last name+ last 3 letters of mothers middle name /+/ first 3 letters of your pets name + first 3 letters of the town you live in): Morria Cheind

Hmm well, I'll have to agree with Monica that it seemed a lot cooler before I did it.

I'm still in search of a more exotic name than Kristen though... so if you have any ideas be sure to let me know.

Alright I'm off. I need a shower before Playhouse.

Currently Listening Oliver! (1963 Original Broadway Cast) see related

I WILL NEVER HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER DRIVING CLASS IN MY LIFE! My last one was today... it was actually quite a fun one. Me and a couple other people had a tic tac toe tourny, also hangman and other such games. We were being really loud, but it wasn't until like half an hour later that the instructor guy looked up and goes "Why aren't you paying attention to what I'm saying? Now, which one of you will volunteer to sit on the other side of the room." haha what kind of question is that?? Who is going to be like Oh Oh pick me! Anyway, he chooses me and this other guy to sit at opposite corners. Pretty sweet. Got my test over with with an hour and half let to go.

Ew and the girl's bathroom flooded. That was gross.

Ahh last night was funnn. I went over to Izy's and Don was there, so he drove us over to Sam's dad's house where he and Will were all dressed up in suits. Apparently they walked around all day in them. Very hot. Then we went to Sam's house. I can play guitar now!! Yeah I'm pretty much amazing at it. Sam, Will, and Conner left me, Izy, Jen, and her friend at his house. Izy cut Lauren and Katie's hair. I met new people which is always fun. Heath like a heath bar. haha let's go over why I'm retarded again....

SP -- great game haha Izzzz. Too bad we never went swimming. By the way I love you Izy.

Everyone's going to Warped Tour tomorrow. I never got a ticket because I wouldn't have a ride anyway and I don't really listen to that music. So I'll be on the outside of all the fun inside jokes they'll all have, but when Ang get's back so will she so we'll be outers together. If that made any sense. Fabulous.

So I start listening to Oliver and all, hoping that I'll like it by the start of school. No such luck so far.

As of right now I'm reading Pride and Prejudice for summer reading. Well, I started it but then I realized we didn't have to read it but I'm almost done anyway so I'll just keep going. Then I have to read A Pitcure of Dorian Gray which I hear is really depressing so this'll be fun.

Lovely.
