Banquet @ MindSay

Cross Country Banquet was last night. and it was really nice.

there were so many more people on the team this year than there was last year, so the place was packed. BUT. good job Welton. we still have the shortest banquet at Elko High School.

i didn't letter this year. got DAMN near close, but didn't letter.  but. you know. Cross Country is a harder sport to letter in than a bunch of others. actually like all of them.



whatevs. i'll letter next year.

A wish; a hope; a dream; a vision; a desire; a want...

 

An unlikely future. All of those terms perfectly describe this idea, this wanted yet unwanted feeling. I might as well call this whole blog "Meredith's aspirations and her moments of bitchiness." Yup, that sums up what it seems to be now. I guess I should start with the story now, huh?

 

Well, band banquet is coming up! OH YES!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

....Oh no. I don't have a damn date! GRRRRRR y'kno if I was flirty enough or prettier or skinnier or just more outgoing, I might have a date. But... that's not the case. Ok, I'd be perfectly fine with not having a date, but I kno that come banquet when everybody's slow dancing with their dates and are having a good time, I'm gonna be that girl on the side just watching and wishing that it were different... and then the nerdy kids who wanted to ask me as a date or did ask me as a date and I said no because they practically stalk me [seriously, random myspace messages, text messages, phone calls when I DIDN'T give them my phone number...] are going to start coming up to me saying "Would you like to dance?" and I'm not going to be able to hide anywhere. My friends will either pity me or say "Well it's her own fault for not getting a date." Seriously, no self esteem on my part.

And then there's the guy I'd LIKE to go with. The guy I have a very tiny small crush on. The guy I've always thought was cute and was nice and had a great sense of humor [humor is a MUST for me and is a great turn on, too. If you can't make me laugh, then don't bother. And I don't mean laugh like 'heh...that's funny.' =] I mean like serious belly-aching laughing, where I'm swinging my head back and laughing really loud. :D] and was a good friend. I'd like to ask him, but I don't kno how. For starters....he's 4 years older than me. We're in the same section and we're actually pretty good friends. Not GREAT, but good. We can carry on a conversation and we're close enough where we can hug and exchange secrets and I can cry on his shoulder and I kno he'll be there for me [which is what I love about him the most.] Now, I kno we'd never date, at least not while I'm still in high school, but even after that probably never so I kno boundaries and I accept that fact. I'd still like to go with him as a date though. Also he doesn't have a date, and I don't have a date. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

 

OK, so now I'm going to ask you to bear with me because this gets confusing. Vision 1: I had a dream. A dream where I was at school and I was enjoying my day and even though some weird things happened it was good. Fast forward dream; It was lunch time and it was D lunch. D lunch is the last lunch. Most seniors who have D lunch and then senior release for last period usually just leave and don't bother going to lunch. Ok, so I'm dreaming and in my dream the guy I want to take as a date comes to D lunch. He NEVER has come to D lunch because it's not his lunch and he's a senior so why bother staying?? Ok, REALITY: Less than a week since I had that dream, the guy actually comes to my lunch!! How weird as that? Ok, I'm not psychic but I've had several of these dreams lately and I've had a lot of deja vue's.

 

Vision 2: Quick version; my date for banquet is the guy I want to be my date. He's there! And we're having fun, and we actually act like a couple almost. Is this dream possible?? At least the part about him being my date??  I wish it were. I hope it is! So now I can either talk to my friend about asking him for me, or I can ask him myself [which I really don't want to do because I'm a wuss, I'll stutter a lot, and I'm afraid of confrontation], or just ignore and either find some one else or go alone. Any ideas???

Hello everyone!!

*Went to FFA banquet with BRAD!!*

OK so this is how the night turned out!!

 

When I got home around 4:15-4:30 I called to make a hair appointment, BUT they didn't have any open spots between then and Thursday. Darnit. Then I called Brenda the 4-H advisor about the workshop sessions that nite(or so I thought it was that nite.).

Talk to Brenda and she say's that the workshop thing isn't that nite but it is the 24th not the 4th of April. WE're just having the final meeting tonite, she says. 

Me: Oh ok well talk to you later...

Brenda:Ok see you tonite!!

 

OK SO I DON"T HAVE FREAKIN WORKSHOPS TONITE!!
SHOULD I CALL BRAD!?!?!?

 

OK gonna call. So I call and say: " Hey brad It's Mariah! I was wondering if you still had that spot open for the banquet.

Brad: YEah I do.

Me: Oh well I have a funny story! Ok so I called Brenda to ask her what time I have to be there and I find out that the thing that I am teaching sessions at is on the 24th!

Brad: Ok We'll be down in about 15 or 20 minutes ok?

Me: Ok c ya!!

 

*** People you must be happy for me after this Because i actually talked to him and didn't make a complete fool of myself!!***

 

 NOW ... Have 15 minutes to get ready to go to dateish event with guy I have an obsessive crush on!! OH MY GOD PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC!!!!!

Got dressed, brushed teeth and put on lippy just in time.

 

He get's there in like 30 seconds after that.

 

 Walk out to the car and he has his friend Clay with him. My mom says bye and we are on our way.

So on way to banquet brad and clay talk about cars and stuff not really interesting to me...

 

I just listen to Brad's handsome voice!

 

Then we get there and walk in and there are 4 officers from upper.

They both stare at me like what the hell is she doing here.

I just point my finger at brad and mouth i came with them.

Hi!

Guess what! I get to go to the Wynford FFA Banquet on Tuesday!! Yeah!! 

Me, Nicholle Lang, Hannah Bianchi, Kelsey Gibson, Katie Hurley, and Jewl Wolfgang are goin!!

Oh,yeah, plus Courtney Lang,Nicholle's older sis who happens to be a state FFA officer is driving us all there. FUN!!

 

Wynford lost their regional game Friday. Tears. Oh well, that means that there was an awesome picture of Brad in newspaper. YAY!! Friends at upper will get to see it!!

 

Oh my brain just had awesome idea. Should go to newspaper website and put pic on blog... Nah. That would be more obsessive than ever. 

 

So this weekend and the end of last week have been obsessing over face.

* Really hope I don't have a new colonization of acne pop up on my forehead*

But watch, from obsessing, I'll probably wake up the morning of the Banquet and I'll have a volcanoe there, right in the middle of my forehead.

 

My little bro went tping last night. he had a b-day party. Happy 13 Mitchell.

He had 5 friends over. I swear they don't sleep. I don't have a door to my bedroom so they woke me up at 8 a.m. on a sunday!! I was ticked.

 

I have a really bad cough. Hopefully its gone before tuesday.?!

 

Ciao,

Mariah

 

 

 

Band Banquet was yesterday, and it was a lot of fun, I had some trouble with my tie before we left, but it was all fine, then Erick and I started to head out after I left a message for Sondra (its actually spelled with an 'a' but pronounced like that) in case she needed a ride, and so then as we got ino the car about to head out, I got a call from Jenn.... or at least from her phone.... it was Sondra and she needed a ride so we said we'd wait for her and we waited.... and waited...... and waited...... Jenn came down and old us that she was still getting ready and..... get ready for this...... PUTTING ON MAKEUP!!! Now Sondra is a gal who doesn't put on a lot of makeup so it really suprised us that she was putting on makeup that took quite a while(not really THAT long but long for her). ANYWAYS! She came out looking very nice in a cream skirt and black top, and then we were off to the band-quet! So we got there and parked, walked in and went over to the ballroom where we were ran in to a bunch of people including Krystle, Sam, Ben and Dan,  and chatted them up for a bit. Went over to talk to Margaret for a little bit and then saw a blond gal in a stunning black dress and I was like....  who is that?! and  as I looked again she walked toward the table next to me... and it was ANDREA!!!! Not to dimiminish from anyone else (they ALL looked REALLY REALLY GREAT!!!) but that dress on her just looked ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Courtney had like a prom dress on(also looking ravishing!) but I didn't get to appreciate it right away as she came over and gave me a birthday hug!! I snagged a sideways one from Andrea but I think it kinda scared her lol ANYWAY, started talkin to people then we took a Saxophone picture but, ah, my camera was bein wierd and didn't take that one or the all Alto one.  anyways! started walkin around tryin to find a place to sit, ended up sitting with the other Altos (minus Andrea and Tyson) and Sondra. The food was DELICIOUS and we had some fun conversations at the table, and watching the slideshow (go STEVE!) and the first part of the DVD was awesome. Its too bad that this will be the last time seeing some of the seniors but they all had such nice things to say!!! Now as for the "best section" award, I was disappointed that the chops got it, not that they aren't deserving but for such a large section they really didn't do enough to earn the award, I really think that the Horns deserved it more than they did but its all good, cuz next year, the SAXES will win the award!!! anyway, got to take a few pictures afterwards, they're on facebook now if you wanna see em then, erm, get on facebook! oh, also, got a pic with Krystle (who explained to me what the deal was with her BF today) but you don get to see her awesome skirt, which reminds me, I need to grab the picture with me and Michelle off of her camera, but again, you don't get to see her black dress which made her look amazing, in fact all the girls came out looking like movie-stars and even though Margaret only had on a black top and some nice slacks she looked really nice too, (AND! I got a birthday hug from Margaret, hehe, not many people can say that!) so then I came home (Sondra went home with Lacey and Mark came home with us) dropped off everyone and then basically crashed after a bit, and still not feelin 100% but I only have one final tommorrow morning so I should be able to rest afterwards, anyways blogging will be on and off during vacation so have a great one and expect more bloggin later this week!
