today was a good day. i got to sleep in, then leah came over. we went to lynne's church to hear her play handbells. it was awesome!! i didn't really know what handbells were before this. i mean i knew, but i'd never actually seen anyone play them. it was great. :) then michelle mcvay called me and i met her at the food court in the mall. it was kinda weird to be walking around the southern park mall with michelle, considering the fact that she lives in st. clairsville... lol. we went to famous footwear so i could buy my graduation shoes, but they didn't have any in white. i wasn't a happy camper. we went to jc penney to find a suit for her, went to the hallmark store and bought car air fresheners (macintosh apple :-D delight inspired me, and she got that one that smells like guy's cologne that jenny used to have), then walked around till it was time to meet her parents back in the food court. then i took those shoes that my mom bought back to burlington, stopped at home for a sec, then headed to alliance to the mall to go to the famous footwear there. they had them. so now i have my cute white graduation shoes. if only i could find a dress... lol.

i'm going to michelle's graduation party next sunday. i'm excited. she named the people that are going, and it sounds like fun. :) i hear weird noises coming from the tv in the other room. i'm going to go investigate...

The Best Deceptions by Dashboard Confessional
I heard about your trip. I heard about your souveneirs. I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights, and the cool guys that you spent them with. Well I guess I should have heard of them from you. I guess I should have heard of them from you. Don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over? And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you. So kiss me hard, cause this might be the last time that I let you. You will be back some day and this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips will be of service to keeping you away. I heard about your regrets. I heard that you were feeling sorry. I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us. Well I guess I should have heard of them from you. I guess I should have heard of them from you. Don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over? And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you. So kiss me hard, cause this will be the last time that I let you. You will be back someday and this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips will be of service to keeping you away. I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers, I'll be alright when my hands get warm. Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing. I'd rather you'd never heard my voice. You're calling too late, too late to be gracious and you do not warrant long good-byes. You're calling too late. You're calling too late.

i like that song.
so i just decided that i'm gonna go to purple door this summer. i can't wait!!!!! its about 5 hours away, but if people go with me i'll be fine!! i'm sure i can find someone to go with me. there are so many good bands there!! like five iron, relient k, benjamin gate, brave saint saturn, bleach, the list goes on... i'm so pumped!! that gives me plenty of time to talk mom into letting me go. its august 15-16. :) ok i need to go finish getting ready for my physics test next period, i just wanted to share my excited-ness with anyone who actually reads these posts. :)

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!

Monday, May 12, 2003

i think i'm gonna go see two towers on wednesday. its at the cheap seats. leah said she wants to come. but just in case she doesn't, i'm still going. i want to see it again. plus its a good excuse to get outta the house for over 3 hours. :) thats always a good thing. i should get off the internet and work on my government. but all well. i'll do it before i go to bed. as long as i have a short presentation for tomorrow i'm good. i think i have enough info.

leah falzetta cracks me up. she's like my "coach" or something. not gonna get into details cuz too many people already know and it scares me... lol

erin milhoan you're awesome, i just read your post for the 11th (the first one). we're a lot alike. :)

i'm done now. bye.

Sunday, May 11, 2003

yawn. i need more sleep. all well. leah was at church today. we're gonna spend the next couple weeks "church hopping". next sunday we're going to st. paul's to see lynne play handbells, the sunday after that we're gonna go to columbiana nazarene church, just cuz we always said we were going to and never did. the sunday after that i might go to greenford, but she doesn't want to go with me. all well. i think i know enough people there by now. i need to talk to jeremiah or steve and see what time their church starts, and corey jones to see which service he goes to at gcc. wow this is a boring post... lol. but i'm off to find something more interesting to do, like find brian hershberger a fun b-day card. :)

Saturday, May 10, 2003

prom was great. i had a lot of fun. definitely better than last year. :) jeremiah was a blast. definitely better than last year's date. i love keefry, but last year just doesn't compare to this year. i won bullcrap yesterday. i've never won that game in my life. but i did yesterday. :) i played with leah, leanne, and christy. kim and i started a club. we call it the suspenders club. i think we have (hang on lemme think.... me, kim, kory manly, corey cantaloupe, alicia kyser, kara kundravi) 6 members. we all have one thing in common: we like people who we can't have.

yes, i like someone. big shocker, i know. its been awhile since i've said that. but don't get too excited about it. boys don't like me. i don't have a chance. so i'm not gonna do anything about it. there's no point in setting myself up to get hurt. i just need a good dose of "christy-ism" to talk me out of it. :)

afterprom was so much better than last year. there was more to do. allthough i mostly just sat around and talked or listened to jeremiah singing and playing guitar. there's nothing better, right kelli? :) i was near kelli's house last night. or rather, this morning. it was probly around 1 or so. on our way to the grand slam. anyway, afterprom. i didn't sleep at all, on the way there or back. kim and jeremiah were both sleeping, so i turned backwards in my seat and spent the ride talking to lolly and cheese. it was great. we sang along with the radio, talked about lighting farts on fire, made fun of the sleeping people, fun stuff like that. lol. i didn't see shannon a lot. that made me sad. she was the only reason i didn't die of boredom at last year's afterprom. i went miniature golfing!! lol. me and lolly both suck at it, so we shared a golf club and took turns hitting our golf ball. we were terrible. we would hit the ball 7 or 8 times and say that we only had 3 hits for that hole. it was great.

mom, tim and i went to see x-men 2 today. it was awesome, well worth the $6 i spent buying all 3 of our tickets (gotta love the carnation mall.. its so cheap!! lol)

i'm off now. i'm running on 5 hours of sleep, and my mom wants the computer. there's so much more i could say about last night, but i can't. thats what old-fashioned journals that no one ever sees are for...

Wednesday, May 07, 2003

so prom is in 2 days. i finally have all the stuff that i need. i just need to wash my car. i told tim that i'd take him to see x-men 2 if he helped me, so on saturday me and him are gonna go see it. i'm excited! :) i have to pee. but i'm in school and i hate school bathrooms. rrrraaaarrrrrrr.

so 2nd period i'm sitting in the elementary office, like i do every day. and i look out the window to the hallway and i see jordan posey and laurie hoover walk past.... i'm confused. they go to columbiana. why are they here? hmmm...

speaking of jordan... i haven't talked to him yet. i'm still a little weirded out by saturday night. i guess i just don't understand why it's his problem. i'm the one who is me... that doesn't make any sense.

kim just told me that zachy's coming back for graduation. that makes me happy. i haven't seen him since he moved. woo hoo!! i'm excited! that kid cracks me up.

i'm gonna go find something fun to do now... blah blah....

i need more sleep.

got my car. i love it.

so work last night... wow. not really sure what happened. but i ended up flipping out on jordan, which i don't think i've ever done before. but he said some stuff that really bugged me. i dunno... i didn't know how to react. i think that i'm ok. yeah, so i don't trust people easily. so? is that really a bad thing? it saves me a lot of pain! i dunno.. i need to get off here. i don't want to. i'm talking to joe and lacey and it makes me happy. i miss those two. but i just saw joe today. i need to get to bed cuz i'm tired... i still need to think too..

CAR UPDATE!!!!
exciting news: derek said that after school tomorrow, he's gonna hand me the keys to his car, and its mine. :-D :-D ok i'm gonna go find something to do now.... :)
rarrr. i need more sleep. there are finally computers in the band room. maybe i'll keep up with this thing that i never write in.

i have the money for derek's car. its in a check made out to derek. i want it. but i work today, tomorrow, thursday, and friday. :( :( plus i have to tan on wednesday and friday before work. i really want this car but i don't have time to get it. thats sad.

my inbox has been full of email lately, after my email writing rampage. thats happy. christy is looking at the computer. hi christy. how are you? you whats always fun? to type everything that christy says. here we go....
you whats always fun? thats really bad grammar.
you might want to fix that.
*nods head and spits out apple chunks onto herself*
how about every lisbon game i make a total butt of myself. (note from tracey-christy is obsessed with butts)
and i just dropped apple on my crotch.
what was i gonna say?
oh.
i found someone that was more obsessed with butts than i am.
brittany schrode.
i have been mooned 3 times by her.
um.
she openly admitted that she likes butts. i tried to explain to her what a fetish was without being gross. it almost worked.
yes you are.
the better to eat you with my dear.
my hear nice.
you typed hear first then erased it.
i don't wanna talk to Inchak today.
cuz mallory is cheating on me with him.
no not really.
um.
i have to talk to him about the car wash.
i know i packed a lunch. amazing isn't it?
huh-uh.
thats not till next weekend.
period.
remove foot from mouth then speak.
um.
yeah.
that happens.
when i think about you... never mind i'm not gonna finish that line.
people would start to wonder
be like "tracey your friend is really gross and obscene i don't see why you like her. she should crawl in a hole and die."
kara you should crawl in a hole and die.
i'm tellin ya, i have a lot of butt pictures.
i'm sorry.
what?
hooblyhuttiwhattie?
not that i'm the greatest speller in the world, but i don't think thats right.
oh my.
um.
dee dum dee dum dee dum.
don't ask.
it still looks wrong tho.
yeah you're torched.
dude's cajun style.
so what would happen if i took that bottled water and squirted it into the computer? just be like "skruu" and it would be like i'm peeing.
i think we're gonna need to let someone in.
i tell you what.
feels nice tho.
susan es muy torched.
awww does rubber cement work really well?
is it acid free?
you're screwed.
she had a beard and it felt weird.
she had a beard.
if susan ever has kids, so help me...
no. who do...excuse me cuz i wasn't talking... yeah
um humminna
do you think i give a flying fickle?
just kidding.
um.
yeah allow me to pull it out of my sphincter.
what?
*weird noise with mouth, sorta like sucking in*
at least its not weird noise with butt.

and thats all cuz the scary little torched kids are coming into the bandroom now... LUNCH!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, April 23, 2003

i feel like a butt. i was just looking at jordan's webpage. he mentioned me in his friend thing. and i feel like a butt. cuz i am a butt. i have a big butt. we were talking about that at school today. (how i have a big butt.) i think i need to go to sleep now... my bed is calling me "tracey...tracey..."
derek brought his car over to my house after school today. i'm so pumped. its gonna take a bit to pay off (prolly a year) cuz i only have about half of what i need, so i have to take out a loan on the rest. but still. i can't wait. my very first car. complete with a cd player. i can't wait. i think i said that already. oh well.

kurt blackburn is a very random person. in case you were wondering.

i got the new brave saint saturn album this weekend. it hurts me to say this, but i think that i possibly like them better than five iron frenzy. its nice to listen to reese roper's voice singing a different style than ska. don't get me wrong. i love my ska (lol sarah and katters). but i also love the sound of reese singing pretty songs. well they're not all pretty, but you know what i mean.

ok i'm gonna go continue discussing the necessity of gynocologists with kurt now. i'm out :)

Tuesday, April 22, 2003

Drewbobfire: yeah... I'm going to send the tickets on Saturday I hope
Drewbobfire: about what?
Drewbobfire: don't worry :-)
Drewbobfire: you'll get the tickets ;-)
relientkbandgeek: if you can, try to send them friday. they have to leave the post office by saturday or they won't get to me in time
Drewbobfire: okie... I'll see if I can get them tomorrow then
Drewbobfire: :-\I couldn't get a group
relientkbandgeek: that would be good... i just want to make sure that they get here in time
relientkbandgeek: its ok i'll bring $4 with me
Drewbobfire: ok... if I don't get them sent by saturday I'll fed-ex them on Monday from my dad's work
Drewbobfire: okie?
relientkbandgeek: that'll work as long as i have them by 4 or so on wednesday!! otherwise you'll be the one paying for two more tickets so i'm sure to get into the show!! ;-)
Drewbobfire: wait... so I should bring $30 to the concert in case you don't get your tickets?
relientkbandgeek: i'll call you guys as soon as i get them to let you know. or i'll call before i leave on wednesday if i don't have them. that way you'll know
Drewbobfire: ok :-)
relientkbandgeek: ok i feel better now :-)

i'm going into this with much reservation. and if for some reason the tickets don't get here, he IS going to be paying for me and leah's tickets. i'm not shelling out $20 bucks and don't expect leah to either. this whole thing is really ticking me off tonight.
ok i feel better now after that last bit.

on a better note... here's a fun story. while writing my research paper i came across the word "brouhaha". i found it highly amusing, so i made a fun, colorful away message out of it. i didn't give a definition of it or anything, i just typed the word. i get online tonight, and jordan posey's away message is:
brouhaha
n 1: loud confused noise from many sources [syn: hubbub, uproar] 2: a confused disturbance far greater than its cause merits
i just found that funny.

off for now... gotta go read for a bit, those brio girls books are pretty good :)

Tuesday, April 08, 2003

Sunday, April 06, 2003

I'M DONE WITH MY ANASTASIA REPORT!!!! :-D it only took me like 15 hours out of 2 days.. lol

today's convo w/heidi wins most torched IM convo of the year award. lol. i was so tired of sitting in front of the computer... here's part of it.
relientkbandgeek: this is my online equivalent to hiding in a bathroom :-D
WICheri44: haha
WICheri44: so chatrooms are now the online bathrooms?
...
relientkbandgeek: grrr i lost the chatroom... it was running really slow on my computer anyway
relientkbandgeek: i guess i can't hide forever
relientkbandgeek: lol
WICheri44: oh... cna i get you back in the bathroom?
WICheri44: I don't know how if I can
relientkbandgeek: lol!!!!!! that sounds hilarious!!!!!
... (thats called an elipse. i learned that while doing my report. well i already knew it, but anyway. you use it when you take out info from a resource :) )
relientkbandgeek: lol its like a mini-soap opera
relientkbandgeek: a bathroom soap opera
WICheri44: and I'm intently watching my "soaps"
WICheri44: hehe how fun
relientkbandgeek: get it, bathroom soap?? haha! lol
WICheri44: haha
...
relientkbandgeek: sorry that was lame... i tried to joke and it didn't work
relientkbandgeek: lol
WICheri44: no no.... not lame!!!
WICheri44: I love my Tracey's jokes
relientkbandgeek: cheesy... but then that would have to be a kitchen soap opera and thats another story...
relientkbandgeek: wow i'm sleep deprived and you can tell..... lol
relientkbandgeek: she just said scurry
relientkbandgeek: who says scurry?
relientkbandgeek: i've never in my life heard someone use that word
relientkbandgeek: lol
relientkbandgeek: i'm going nuts over here
...
relientkbandgeek: LilMilhoan06: so when he walks down the hall as he says he can talk to you and you won't scurry away
relientkbandgeek: scurry... thats a funny word... lol
...
WICheri44: haha
relientkbandgeek: in like 7 minutes i'll have to scurry away and get back to my report
relientkbandgeek: or maybe scurry to the kitchen and get some dinner
relientkbandgeek: or scurry to the bathroom (the real one... lol)
relientkbandgeek: maybe i'll start calling chatrooms bathrooms and bathrooms chatrooms!!
relientkbandgeek: timmys mice scurry
WICheri44: haha... go to your teacher at school... "I need to use the chatroom please"
relientkbandgeek: i'm going insane... i'm sitting here laughing my head off at my retarded scurry jokes... wow
relientkbandgeek: lol
WICheri44: he has mice?
WICheri44: did you give him his picture?
WICheri44: did he like it?
relientkbandgeek: yes, yes, and yes :-D
WICheri44: haha... that's ok... b/c I"m laughing too
...
relientkbandgeek: because i'm in a weird mood
relientkbandgeek: lol
relientkbandgeek: full of sleep deprivation
relientkbandgeek: and scurrying
relientkbandgeek: and bathroom chatrooms
WICheri44: hhaha.... you make me smaugh so much
...
relientkbandgeek: is he going to scurry? ... lol i'm sorry... funny word and i'm sleep deprived, which makes it funnier

and there are the highlights of my conversation with heidi. minus the parts that got deleted from "the bathroom" where i was hiding (aka a chatroom so i could put up an away message and pretend i wasn't at the computer) when i got kicked off AIM.

i'm off for now... i can't stand sitting in front of this screen any more... lol

18th b-day: 9 days
skillet concert: 10 days

oh one more thing... notice how all of a sudden a bunch of people are using blogger? yup. when i started using it no one had heard of it. now people are using it. nice. i guess i'm a trend setter.

ok i'm really going now... my hands are dry and need lotion

Thursday, April 03, 2003

awww i wish i was still at kelli's! that was an awesome weekend. it was great to just get away from crap for awhile and just have fun. and thats exactly what i did: have fun! i love those girls... seriously. i forgot how close the 3 of us used to be (well 4 if you count leah). i don't know what i'm going to do when heidi is in another country for a year. joe said i'll hang out with him. :) that would be good. he's great. it was awesome see him since i hadn't for a year. i was so surprised when he said he wanted to go to the coffee house with us. i hadn't been there in a year, and he said he hadn't been there in like 2. it was the first "church" type thing that he'd been in for that long. i wish we hadn't gotten there so late, but me and heidi got soo lost trying to pick joe up... lol.

i'd better get back to my anastasia report... but actually i'm talking to travis and thats much more fun, so i'm gonna continue doing that.... :)

Saturday, March 29, 2003

things are getting better.


i'm at kelli's house w/my heidi!!! i somehow forgot how much i love those two. i can totally be myself with them, and they don't care!! they love me anyway. we went to starbucks earlier and it was great. we just sat there in comfy chairs and talked about stuff. i'm so excited about going to malone next year and being so close to kelli. i'm glad. i'm excited about being near brian too, but i like having a close gal friend so near.
the three of us decided that we need to start sending care packages again. we used to do it all the time awhile back, we'd just send random things to each other, and they're so much fun to get and to make for each other. i love this, i love being here. i don't want to go back home to all that crap. i'm just gonna stay here w/heidi and kelli forever. :)
