Christmas Bells

COLLINS
You don't have to do this -

ANGEL
Hush your mouth it's Christmas

COLLINS*
I do not deserve you Angel
Give Give
All you do is
Give
Give me some way
To show you
How you've touched me so

ANGEL*
Wait!
What's on the floor?
Let's see some more
No no no no

ANGEL
Kiss me it's beginning to snow
~*~"Christmas Bells" RENT

*Collins and Angel are singing at the same time. That was kind of hard to do, but it's a really cute scene during that song, so I had to use it. I'm such a sucker for cute love songs. And at other times they make me cry. Or throw up. But on to other matters.

So I haven't posted much lately, but I've been really busy. Let's see... Wednesday and Thursday I was sick. Okay, I'm still sick, but those 2 days I was like, incoherant, like on another planet or something. I apologize, Jordan, for making you sit through all my sneezing fits on Wednesday. I will try not to contaminate your air space anymore. lol.

Friday I was back at school to take lots of tests, and then went to auditions for fall play after school. That was fun. I got to scream with a sore throat. At least I got to say "a penguin just bit me!" That was really funny. But anyway. So I got home at about 5, and then my mom and I went to New Lenox to get my new dance shoes... She was so happy to find out I needed new pointe shoes, new jazz shoes, and a new leotard. I told her to look on the bright side: at least I didn't need new ballet shoes, and since my feet don't grow anymore, I will have to wear these shoes out before I get new ones.

Today I went to ADC to try and find a leotard (which I didn't). and then we picked up my brother at home to take him to his soccer game. On the way we dropped me off at Rich East so I could help out with the car wash. That was a lot of fun, actually. I was there for about 3 hours washing cars. Though I spent the first half hour out on the corner yelling, trying to get people to come to the car wash. And in case you don't know, you have to yell REALLY loud when you're standing on Sauk Trail about to get run over by a bunch of cars. Yeah. But once I got to actually wash cars it was pretty fun. Although Taylor got me numerous times with the hose, and once twice with a sponge, Kevin got me with the hose, and either Tara or Tana hit me with a wet towel... damn that one hurt. But yeah. Got soaking wet, cleaned a lotta cars, and spent time with friends. Then Stadt gave me a ride home in her nice new car.

Had a bunch of chores to do when I got home, then I ate dinner, did homework, and now I'm here. And since I'm here, I'm going to post a poem I wrote yesterday during civics.

Incineration
I don't want to live forever
I just want to start this over
I don't understand what hate is
I just want to be with you now

Someone explain all the fire
In the creeping darkness -
Teach me how to burn
I've learned all my lessons
Before I've fallen -
With nothing left to give

Surrendering - to your power
Living in my mind
Surrendering - to my obsession
Seeking what really is

Manifest in a world of isolation
Connect - on a frozen plane
Death tonight in a world awakend
Gone in the whisper of a sunrise

So lemme know what you think. Post a comment for a change! I know there's people out there reading... I always talk to people, and they say, "oh yeah, I read your blog," so why not post a comment while you're at it? It doesn't take that much work. Come on guys, or what's the point of it all in the end?
