This morning, in second hour, Justin talked to me about being an M.C. and how our drama teacher wants us, Justin and I, to be the M.C.'s. I don't know why or how, but I really didn't think too much of it. As I am thinking now, I wonder what I thought it meant...because I certainly didn't think it meant what I now know it means.
And, I can't not mention, the hug I received from Kelly momentarily after I sat down from filming the day's announcements. I still don't know or understand why, but that's just Kelly. She's a sweetheart, and that's all there is to it, I guess.
And then, at lunch, I received another surprise hug that really came out of nowhere...I don't remember why...my memory sucks lately. Or maybe I've had too much Kelly, like, she's a drug. Like, everything leading up to the hug is a bit hazy. Okay, laugh out loud please...but I just can't remember...OH yes, I do...haha...but it was hot. We were talking about Homecoming (more later), and just as Kelly locked around my neck (it was hot, I tell you), the other girls at the table saw Zack in the office!!
I had no idea what was happening for a few moments and then I saw Zack in the office! Now, in case I haven't talked about it before, Zack is Kelly's boyfriend. So what's she doin goin around hugging other guys like Justin and myself in second hour? She's a sweetheart.
But yeah, Zack's in the office, from the OTHER SIDE of the lunchroom, he�s looking at Kelly locked on my neck. I turned red and I'm pretty sure Kelly did, too. Then Zack shows up, "You trying to steal my girlfriend?"
"Yes Zach, that is indeed what I did try."
It was funny. But that's my sweetheart story of the day. There are so many nice people in this world, and I gotta talk about the most random ones in here. Also, Emily is a really nice girl. As a freshman, she doesn't get to spend any year in High School with her brother, a senior last year. She's really good at improvisation in drama, and she's just funny in general, but living with a brother like Ben will change you in ways that...well, she will never know. I mean, she's not normal...but it's good to be different.

And yes, I sit with a table of girls only. Anthony, who does sit there for the first half of lunch with me, commented yesterday that he could learn a lot by just sitting and listening to the girls. Oh, they talk about �The O.C.� and �Laguna Beach� and boys and problems and girly stuff and guy stuff and about Drama Class and...whatever�s happening. It�s all interesting.

Before I talked to Emily in the last hour of the day, I was sitting in a circle with all of the others in the Drama class, counting the votes for this year�s play. Last year, �Bye Bye Birdie� won by only two votes, and we never forgot voting day.
This year...it was between �Oklahoma� and �The Sound of Music.� And I�m sorry, but I have to say that the only way I was gonna vote for Oklahoma is if I wanted the lead singing role...because I can�t depend on anyone else to take it. And I can�t take a lead in singing. So �Sound of Music� it is. It had really good music, catchy music, memorable songs, and everybody knows it.
Now, as for what the parts may be...I feel safe enough to say that I really want to be Rolfe. I mean, he�s blonde, and that�d be a good excuse to mess with my hair, right? Haha, I doubt I�d go blonde...my skin isn�t light enough...but maybe I could do highlights or something. The captain is my second choice for a part...and Max is my third. I don�t know if I could pull Max off. We�ll see.
I love �The Sound of Music,� and the vote was 3-1, so I think a lot of people are excited about it. For those of you who aren�t, just know that a lot of people are and that it won�t take a helluva lot of a work to learn the songs. They�re easy, and they�re fun, and good. It�ll also look good, saying that you were in �The Sound of Music,� the most popular movie musical of all time (West Side Story being another one). It�ll go by fast, and performing nights will surely be entertaining, and the memories will last a lifetime as always. No, we don�t get to dress up as cowboys...but stay positive.
It�ll be fun.

This weekend is Homecoming. Spirit week this year...I just have no spirit or something. I had white on for class color day. But I can�t wait for the weekend. The week felt long YESTERDAY...today�s Wednesday. I�ll go to the game, and I�ll have a lot of fun at the parade and stuff and then I�ll be tailgating. Then, after the game I think I have plans with Emma, but after that (or for that) I will be viewing a Halloween-type movie. Last year I watched �Nightmare Before Christmas,� and the year before that I watched �Army of Darkness.� I�m thinking of buying �Army of Darkness.� If I can get out to Best Buy before the week is over, it is mine. Except it�s, like, less than an hour and 20 minutes...so I gotta get the DVD with the ORIGINAL ending and a bunch of special features.
And at lunch today, just before sweet Kelly handed a hug to me (er, gave me one), I was talking to sweet Chelsey who was kindly making sure that I would be going to the movie later that night. See, I told her that �I didn�t have to go,� and what I meant was that I couldn�t drive...so I wouldn�t be going without a ride. Which would happen anyways. Chelsey said that she didn�t want Zach to be the only guy at her house, and pleaded that I come...and I really want to.
Hopefully I�ll have the van...but we�ll see.
M.C. stands for Master Commentater...or Host. (Correction by 'diarist': M.C. stands for Master of Ceremonies, but I'm sure you all knew that. Both work, I think. Okay, resume entry) I wanna write something for it. We�ll see.
We�ll see.
