After school today, my mom informed me of the death of Alexander McQueen. For those of you who don't know, he's a revolutionary British Avant Garde designer. He's designed for many celebrities, including Lady Gaga (every pair of crazy, platform heels in the Bad Romance video? Yup, those are all Alexander McQueen). His designs are so unique and his runway shows like art, that even though he has...

He was serious. And he launched into a long description that he obtained somewhere in the science section of the New York Times. Gee, Dad, thanks.A lot has happened since I last posted. I've rarely been on mibba since I was forced into creating a facebook. I'm sorry I crossed over to the social networking side of the internet; it's just so addictive. But facebook has helped me out a lot with...

I'm sorry for the desperate title, but I'm in a really terrible situation right now. I won't go into everything, but it involves my boyfriend (I guess he's my boyfriend). I will summarize the situation, and the whole story of how we met and all that is in another journal.So after we met on the choir trip and the trip ended, we kept in touch. He lives four and a half hours away. I visited him once,...

I was going about youtube today, which is what I usually do when I'm bored, and I came across this video. I probably watched it fifteen times in a row before clicking the "favorite" button. Watch:Yeah... I really don't have much else to say about that... the video says it all ^_^...Last night I went out with some friends (to get my mind off of shawn) and we decided to get super dressed up, in...

Yeah, I'm suffering from it and it sucks. I went to warped on thursday with my friend and it was awesome... so now I'm sad that it's over.The bands I saw:We Are Union- I didn't know them before warped, but Nikki and I stopped and watched them cause we didn't have anything better to do at the moment and there was a trombone player in the band! Hooray for band geeks! (and I can say that cause I'm a...

I'm back from Europe, and I have been for almost two weeks. But as soon as I got back from europe, I left to ride RAGBRAI again, and that got over saturday. So I've been kinda busy, and now I'm super tired. I appologise for not being on. I really miss this place but part of me feels like I've grown out of mibba. It hurts me to say it, because I love it here. I'm definitely not leaving though, so...

Seriously. I got up at 11 this morning, and took my shower at 11:30. it's now almost 2:30 and my hair is still damp. GAHHHHH.But still, it's summer, and school is out =DThe last day of school was on thursday, and now I'm thinking about how a bunch of my friends were juniors last year, meaning they will be graduating next year. And a year from now, I will be in their position. And I'm scared about...

Yes, I have. It used to be three times, but I saw them again on Saturday night. I probably wouldn't have gone to see them again if it hadn't been for the opening bands, which were Hey Monday (eh, I wasn't too excited about them, but they put on an OK show), Metro Station, All Time Low, and COBRA STARSHIP <3As I said, Hey Monday put on a fairly good show. I don't know any of their songs so I...

Today was an eventful day. To start off, we had a mock accident assembly thing that took up second and most of third hour. They staged a car crash and had ambulances, firetrucks, and a helicopter come. Then we all filed into the gym to watch the rest of it, which included a court “trial” for the “drunk” driver and a “funeral” for the two that were “dead.” They then showed us a...

This is where we stayed in Ecuador. No, we really did. But only for one night. =)haha.I got back from Ecuador last Wednesday, so I have been back over a week, but I’ve been too busy and tired to do anything here on mibba (aside from posting another journal that I took from the entries I wrote while I was down there)[Here comes the part where I rave about how much I loved it]The trip was amazing,...

These are my entries from the whole time I was in Ecuador.Day one: Airport: counter-clockwise toilets south of the EcuatorStart time: 3:30 AM.By 4:30 we were at the local airportMr. Wymer was late, even though he was the one who had told us to get there so early. He arrived at 5:00Our plane left by 6:30The flight was about a half an hour, which I passed by looking out the window at the specks of...

At least not where I’m going, so don’t expect any updates from me for at the very least, two weeks. I have to leave my house tomorrow at FOUR IN THE FREAKING MORNING. The first plane leaves at 6:30, where we fly to Chicago, and then we fly to Miami, and then to Quito, Ecuador. We will spend about a week in Ecuador, parts of that time in the Amazon rain forest, and parts in Quito and in some...

I baked a cake today, even though it was from a box and the frosting was from a can, but it was good. Once I spun the can of frosting around once, I noticed that it looked like break dancing, so I started singing “U Can’t Touch This” and my mom thought I was crazy xDI then spun the can on the floor so my dog could see it. She just batted at it and growled at it. It was cute; I love my dog...

And it hurts. I've been kind of anxious all day and I don't know why, but I bite my lip when I'm either anxious or nervous, and currently, my lip is puffy and red and in pain. Not my best idea.Lately I've noticed a few people who just glare at me, and I have no idea why. There is this one guy who is always sitting in the commons when I'm on my way to the choir room after first hour, and he will...

If I sound like a fan girl, I'm sorry, it's just because it was amazing and I'm still really excited. =)When: Feb 28Where: The People's Court, Des MoinesWho: We The Kings, The Maine, The Cab, There For Tomorrow, and Versaemerge.The ticket said 5:00, so we timed it that the show started at five, but actually that was just when the doors opened. So at 4:59 we were standing in the cold (Thirty...

No, I did not get bit by Edward Cullen, nor is this about Twilight, so if that's the only reason you clicked on this, the back button is up there. However, if you're actually interested in my traumatizing experiences, then avoid the back button =DI did get bit, but not by any sexy vampires. I got bit by a pit bull mix. I was walking my dog (Molly) after school on Thursday, and I saw these two...

Thursday night. Masterworks concert. The most epic choir concert ever (or at least so far, there could be more to come xD).The masterworks concert is a concert our school does once a year, where all the choirs (Concert choir, woman's choral, treble choir, and bass choir) all get together to do a masterwork. This years piece was only about 20 minutes from start to finish, while last years was near...

hehe, I couldn't help it. That title was the title of an article (in anticipation of the Super bowl) in our school paper that came out last Friday. Eh, I'm not a fan of football, but I LOVE the commercials, and that's the only reason that I'm watching it right now. Plus, I'm pretty psyched that Bruce Springsteen will be on at halftime ^_^But I'm also typing my comparison outline for English,...

Well, they're more like my thoughts before I drop asleep, but that doesn't sound as cool. Today was exhausting, and let me say this: I HATE THE HOSPITAL! I hate it! I had to go to the travel clinic to get shots and pills and crap for when I go to South America. I was there three freaking hours! And half of that time I was waiting doing absolutely nothing but staring at the wall. I had brought a...

I'm sorry to all my readers that I haven't updated, and I had originally planned on writing some this weekend, but I'm sick. I have a headache, a sore throat, and everything is achy. So typing this isn't really helping the headache =[I haven't really gotten around to talking to all my friends either b/c of all this. I'm sorry. I miss you! =DThe only remotely good news is that I might be going to...
