Hello my wonderful readers. I thought you'd be tired of seeing that last entry for so long, so I'm writing another. Here's what's been going on (juciest stuff first):

Well, I'm not obsessing over Joe anymore. That's stopped, like I said it would. To clarify obsessing, that means that I would think about him so much and so often that in order to concentrate I would need to hold my head in my hands and take deep breaths to calm down. That's it. No writing names on notebooks with hearts or anything stupid like that. So, like I was saying that's stopped. And Joe read my entry. He said that he was proud of me for stopping the obsession (though sometimes they aren't nessesarily bad things, unless they keep you from focusing of other stuff), and that if it wasn't for that distance between us (<5 hours driving) he would have been with me a long time ago. Don't that just beat all?

In other, less jucier news, I saw Moulin Rouge on Friday the 8th. It is a wonderful, fantabulous movie, and I recommend that people see it immediatly. It's a bit of a chick flick, with all the romance and stuff, but the guys will like the costumes and possibly the music. DON'T GET TURNED OFF BY THE MUSIC. It's mostly modern songs, sung in a style fit for 1900's France. It is a musical, so if you don't like musicals, you probably won't like this. But the music in it fits with the rest of the movie, it's really well done. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman gave stellar performances, and John Leguizamo, Jim Broadbent, Richard Roxburgh did really really really well too! I'm getting this movie when it comes out on DVD.

Graduation practices are almost done! My actual Graduation is on the 19th (Tuesday). We've been practicing since the 12th. The final dress rehersal is the 18th. I can't wait to graduate! Lis already graduated on the 15th. Her's was great! Earlier in the month, a guy by the name of Ryan Thomas (I think), let a 300 lbs greased pig loose in the hallways of the school. So, no only was that a running gag at the graduation (Valadictorian pig joke, someone pulling out a wooden pig from his robe when handed a dipolma...), but also, some people had brought along beach balls and blow up beer cans and stuff, and were tossing them along the bleachers, with people running out to get them when they went on the grass. It was great because it was all going on behind the principal's back, and she was oblivious.

Lastly, Preston, Leah, Lauren, Hillary (Leah's sister), Matt (my brother), and I all started up a Rocky Horror Picture Show cast thing. Here's the cast list so far:
Preston: Frankie
Leah: Magenta
Steph: Columbia
Jason: Brad

Lauren: Janet
Matt: Riff Raff
Hillary: Narrator
C.C.: Dr. Scott
Rob: Rocky
The Chorus: Karol, Lis, and Brooke

All we need is an Eddie and some more chorus people. We've got a bunch of costumes and make-up and everything. If we can pull this off, it's gonna be good.

Well, that's about it. That was your update on The Life O' Me.
