fall
all of the leaves in my yard suddenly turned orange and fell of their respective trees. i guess that means that fall is here... or almost here anyway, considering that the temperature outside is currently 90 degrees give or take and my parents still won't let me wear the oh-so cute sweaters i purchased at the end of the summer. and by the time i actually wear them they will be out of style. but thats ok. i like them anyway. but omg omg omg
my clothes came today from american eagle!! yay!! in their own little plastic packaging and everything. they even still had fold lines. i love that. knowing that no one else has ever tried them on before, that i will be the sole and only wearer (until norah inhereits them or they go to charity/ the thrift store). i don't know why. i guess its because i am such a selfish bitch but thats ok.
i've just been busy lately. with high school and homework and whatnot. none of it is interesting enough to write about though/unfortunately. i'm babysitting today. from 7:00-9:20 while the babysittee's mom (and my mom) go to a religous school meeting. or something like that.
anna ruth's house was cool last weekend. it feels like yesterday even though it was five days ago. amazing, time goes by so fast i wonder where it has all gone.
east merchandise goes on sale on fridays. perhaps i'll manipulate my parents into buying me a $30 sweatshirt. it's also club week at east. i think i mentioned that in my last post but thats ok. i signed up for amnesty international and the service hours learning club (my mom wanted me to). it kind of surprised me when i traveled to upper quad c today (where club week is being held) and saw the christian fellowship club thing. they had posters that said "g-d loves you" and one of the girls was singing a gospel and playing along on her guitar. i guess they're allowed to have their own thing but then shouldn't all the other religions have clubs too? like the jap club? the hindu club? united-islams-of-america? it doesn't seem equal but i guess when there's not an interest...
hurricane ophelia is hitting the outer banks as i type. i think it was upgraded into a category two. oh just kidding. the weatherman says that it is a "furious category one" which seems sort of silly because obviously it is absolutely nothing compared to katrina. i doubt that "ophelia" will add to the list of retired names, camille, floyd, katrina etc etc. i guess thats all for now. having dinner soon. lamb chops and garlic primavera risotto.
uh oh. the atlantic beach pier just collapsed. perhaps its a bit worse than i thought. i mean not the destruction of new orleans but it is moving so slowly that the winds and rain pound unrelentlessly before finally letting up. it's hard to identify when we're not getting any rain though. for goodness sakes i think we're actually in a drought! the sky is a nasty color though.. a disgusting gray. gray skies are the worst. sunny and cloudless cool, stormy cool, but gray is just so gray and bleh. makes me sad. i was born in rochester, new york and my mom says that when we lived there the gray skies made her so sad. everyday, gray for the entire winter and a good part of spring and fall too. i don't think i could ever live somewhere so depressing.
speaking of depressing i'm reading a very depressing book. it's called I wonder when you'll miss me and it's about this (fat) girl who tries to commit suicide after being raped at school. she goes to this rehab place and loses tons of weight and returns to her home 6 months later but still doenst fit in. and to top it off she's haunted by her former fat (thats the only reason why i mentioned her weight issue) self. which classes her as a skitzophrenic (spelled wrong i know). and her father died suddenly of a brain anyruesm when she was 11. and her only friend in rehab (or ever)commited suicide (while in rehab) by drinking a gallon of cleaning fluid. and im only on page 50 or so. she still has to run away from home etc. i dont know why i like reading those books. i think they make me feel better about my own situation. and speaking of that:
today on oprah there was a special about these people that think they're ugly, hideous, monsters even though most of them are all pretty normal (or even above average looking). extreme disorted body image. this one woman had like 26 plastic surgeries even though she was only 28 and looked like a scary version of barbie. her nose was like 3 sizes to small and her lipe 10 sizes too big (even bigger than angelina jolie's i know... hard to believe huh) her hair was beautiful though. it was platnium blonde and long and shiny and flowy. it was her best feature by far. other people couldn't drive cars because the mirror distracted him so much, he just wanted to stare at himself and think about how he could make himself look better. it just made me feel better about my own situation. it could be worse.

ok: so there's a hurricane going on and its raining and hurricane strength winds and 1.5 foot flooding and the weather lady is out there saying "its raining really hard now" and "this is why everyone had to evacutate" not to mention "the flooding is coming up to my knee" and "you can tell just how strong the wind is... it's blowing me this-away". thats really the smart thing to do. next thing she''ll be knocking on the doors of the houses losing their shingles and ask the people inside exactly why they did not evacuate even though it was mandatory by the governor of nc. dinner is served
maybe i'll post some more later when i have more to say. though i realzied i just wrote a lot a lot a lot even though i supposedly had nothing to say. whatever/later. (l8r!!)
