Lotta News, Lotta News...

Yes, it's the moment you've been dreading--
Patrick's new Xanga is here.

Yes, you guessed the username. Thanks for the inspiration, Jacob.

Tonight, I auditioned for the Wheatland Chorale and I'm staying on for a season before I go to college. I'm excited. They are amazing. Like--you can hear the harmonics in the room--amazing. Along with having a great time singing, I'm going to learn all this great music that I wouldn't get to otherwise (other than Regionals, etc.). In addition, everyone is really nice and sociable--I had a connection with virtually everyone I talked to (LMH alums, parents of LMHers, random Mennonites, sang with my mom, etc.). I'll get used to the fact that their all adults. Let me tell you, adult group humor is bizarre. I'm so glad that I'm going to be in a good choir this year.

Sometimes I feel like my life couldn't get more perfect.
Like when I'm dancing at Long's Park.
All worries can be forgotten in that moment.
It's just the music, the movement--surrounded by people that you love.
Thanks to anyone and everyone that made Long's Park what it is for me.

poodles to that boy who I respect far too much to read his journal. I promise.
poodles to that girl who's back in town and who I will be seeing tonight.
poodles to that girl who sent me a letter before she left for college.
poodles to that girl who I'm friends with and is friends with me.
poodles to that girl who can "sang". You know you got "it".
poodles to that girl who is the weirdest person I know.
poodles to that girl who's thinking of me. sometimes.
poodles to that boy who IMs with me late at night.
poodles to that girl I'm getting to know and like.
poodles to that boy who I play phone tag with.
poodles to that boy who I now eat lunch with.

Sounds Of Summer - The Very Best Of The Beach Boys

You know the feeling...

You know that feeling--when you get home from the beach and you suddenly realize that there's sand in your belly button and as you start to extract it your mind flashes over the entire day of beaching, inside jokes, boardwalking, Gravitron, obnoxious couples (yes, I said it), skin, and traveling. So thank you, belly button sand, for putting my last vacation before experience into perspective.

Another good feeling from the beach is the feeling of warm. On your body. You think, "Should I take something off--I'm hot." But then, you realize that you've soaked up sun and there's no solution but to let it run its course.

The OTHER great part about the beach was getting to know people. And the fact that it was two days before school when everyone else is scrambling around doing school shopping. Yes, that's what everyone else was doing.

I went to the doctor's today to have my warts inspected. The nurse after taking my weight, ushered me into a room to take my blood pressure.

So, here I am, alone with this nurse (who's wearing a covering, flowery nurse shirt, skirt and white shoes--the usual conservative Mennonite wear) and then she asks me:

"Are your warts on your hands or um, your--"
"Hands."

Sometimes I like my computer.

Like when I write music on Finale 2003, put it on Finale 2006 (thanks), make it sound better, make it a 'wav' file, burn it onto a CD for my family and friends, rip it onto my computer as an 'mp3' file, and then transfer it to my memory card, which I then put in my phone--so that I can listen to the music on my phone. Like I am right now.

[sigh].
