I promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

*Graduation was last night. It's sad, I will miss a few seniors. It's hard to believe that I'm a senior now, and that will be me next year. Kind of shocking, and I don't even know my major yet. It will probably be the infamous UNDECIDED.

*Yesterday after school, Dana and I took a road trip to China. Everytime I asked for something the guy was like, "OKKKK". So cute. We got free watermelon, that kicked ass! After we stuffed our bellies we went back to Dana's and watched the prom video. Some were very amusing. Then we went to graduation! :( I'm going to miss Dana. (She didn't graduate, she just went to Hawai'i!

*Since I am almost a senior, I have decided to contemplate my future. I have three possible roads to take. Let me explain them.

***1.) I could go to college, get my degree in Psychology, move to Los Angeles, New York City, or London, and start my own practice.

***2.) I could go to college, get my degree in Secondary Education for Literature, move to a small town in Alabama or Florida, and obviously teach.

***3.) I could go to a specialty school for interior/exterior design, and get a job on Trading Spaces. Or just get a job with decorating.

*It's so hard to make a choice, I thought I could go into Psychology, make a lot of money and then in my free time interior decorate. Oh well. I told my parents I was thinking about Interior Decorating and they were like, "Maybe you should just stick to going to Shepherd." At least now they aren't being mean and saying I won't make it in, but I know for sure that I will be going far away because my mom said I will be leaving ASAP! Haha.

*Well, on the way home from Case-Case's, Trish was driving by Doolin Bank and we saw GLORIA! Haha. I hope we have arena scheduling soon. Later Days

My baby. I rasterbated him (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/).

*I'm so excited! I'm almost finished with my room furniture! I'm only allowed to get ONE piece of furniture when I'm there so it will be about two years before I'm done, and I'll already be in college so I can just keep making trips up there and buy furniture for my new apartment. Ok, day dreaming. Anyway, first we all went to Ikea. This would be Trisha, my bro, and my dad's firsts! So Trish and I went on without them (they were to fast for our pace and we lost them in the kitchen areas) and we found some cool stuff. We were looking at this one bedroom and this guy (most likely gay, not that there is anything wrong with being gay) walked up to us and said "Would you girls mind if I just, laid in that bed for a minute?" What was I supposed to do so I just said, "Go for it." The guy with him was hot. We spend two hours at Ikea and I called my mom or her cell phone to make her mad :). Some of our friends are graduating and we were going to get them lamps or something, but we just decided to get them cork coasters and decupage them! After Ikea we went to the mall and ate CHINESE! My favorite. While we were checking out at the Chinese restaurant the electricity went out and the mall shut down so Trent didn't get his shoes. Boo hoo, like he needs new ones. After the mall we went to TJ MAXX and I found these shoes that I used to have (I lost one of the shoes), and they were there so I was like "YEA!" and bought them. Trisha bought some sandals too, they were cute. Next we went to this Half Price book store, which is the best. We spent like 500 hours there. I carried around like 923098 books, but I only got 4: The Perfect Elizabeth, Aimee, Salem Falls, and Milkrun. Trisha got The Virgin's Knot. While we were there Trish looked at a Kama Sutra book, I was the look out! Then we went to Kohl's which was closing at 10:00 and we walked in at 9:57. We also went to Krispy Kreme, but they were closed, no electricity. So we went home.

*Well, I'm going to go give my friends there cats! See you later!

Love Ashley

*Yes, that's right, I watched ALL 104 Strong Bad Emails. Yesterday. From 3:30 P.M. until 10:00 P.M.. I took a few breaks and went up to my room and realized I was bored so I went back to my one true love, Strong Bad, or was it Pom-Pom? Can't remember, oh well. Don't get me wrong, I don't watch Strong Bad all the time. I was just REALLY bored yesterday, and felt like doing nothing.

*After school I went to Baristas with Casie, Dana, and Stephanie, and after we were done drinking we went on a walk.

*Oh yea, today during school, I found out that when I'm mad I press my fingernails into my palm and press REALLY hard. I guess that makes me keep my mouth shut :)

This is my favorite SB Email. You definitely need to watch it!

*Haha! Sorry Trish, had to do it!

*Anyway, I thought that since I had such a busy night planned I would write in my blog now. Actually, the only thing I have planned is going to my grandma's to get my brother. And I'll steal a kitten while I'm down there too! If anyone wants one, she has... 2... left... I think. I feel like watching the Newlywed Game. That always cheers me up, but I don't want to go check and see if it's on.

*Our theme for Relay for Life is Native Americans. By the way everyone is talking I think it will be neato! Trish, Megan, Casie, and I are going to make shoes out of, some, stuff... and feathers!

*Later days

nothing's standing in my way
on this perfect day
where nothing can go wrong
it's the perfect day
tomorrow gonna come too soon
i could stay forever as i am
on this perfect day

*Say "Woah Hen Ki Scene". That means "I am very happy" in Chinese. They have a symbol, but I can't make it on this thing. Johnny taught me that. He's the Chinese student that sits beside me in Algebra 2.

*Anyway, today I slept in until noon so I went to school during lunch. I felt very refreshed. When I went to school I only had three classes: Study hall, English, and Band. Basically three study halls! I'm excited - we get to start watching The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tomorrow. Anything is better than reading.

*So I went to Casie's tonight for a meeting about Relay for Life. It was quite funny, I think, well, nevermind. It was just funny listening to their ideas. So we decided on car washes and a band concert. So if you want your car washed bring it by May 31st and June 5th! I don't know when the band concert is yet...

*Well, Trisha and I are going to Kennywood on June 5th. SOOOO EXCITING *sigh*.

*Ok, so I've been looking for this song forever! It's on that IPod commercial with the dancing posters, and I've been bothering John about it all week. I finally found it, and it was The Vines - Ride. So I've been listening to it like 2394872 times.

*Today I went up to Dana's and we talked about so much stuff I can't even remember. She is so funny, it's unreal. Her "good friend" Mark Hasselburger called while I was there, and Jessica called Obby so I just watched Homestar Runner. Right when I was leaving her house, Case-Case (short for Casie) called me. On the way home we made plans for our camping trip. So far it's just me and her, but whoever else wants to go, you are welcome to. Right now it's just an all girl trip, but I think if the guys just "showed-up" it would be cool. So I ask my mom if I can go, and she's all like "Well, I would like to go." NO WAY JOSE!

*Well, tomorrow it's back to school, at least for me, not for me bro! :(
*I'm outta here!

That's the start the finish won't be in
Aren't you glad the universe pretends
If I don't get this message home
Once again I'm demonstrating

*I have never killed anything with my car before. Until now that is. I killed a rabbit. I feel bad and kinda sad. But seriously, I think it wanted to die, it darted out in front of me, while I was going 40 mph!

*I also went to the percussion ensemble concert. I went with Trisha, John, Myself and Mark showed up, and we hung out with Meghan. She's so funny! My favorite part of the concert was when Andy picked up the cowbell and played it! It was great... I always get nervous when Stewart plays Flight Of The Bumblebee! He just plays it really fast (and good) and I'm scared he'll mess up! But he didn't, at all. Good job. And of course Casie did great! She always does though, she's one of those people who does good at everything, I don't think she realizes it though. The drum part sucked only because the fire alarm went off and you couldn't hear it, but I'm sure they did grand!

*After the concert, we went to Choo-Choo's and ate. Talked. Drank our ice water. Then we went and put my dead rabbit in a bag to get it off the road. Well, John put the rabbit in the bag, and I took a picture and Casie got mad. I feel bad now. I will throw the picture away :(.

*I don't know why we can't talk
Every time we try we get choked up
Running with the feelings that gets caught in your head
'Til I can't remember what it was we said
All my friends say I'm in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?

*So I went to the party and we gave Sarah her Playgirl. It was so funny! She saw the picture of Viggo Mortensen on the cover and thought it was about Lord Of The Rings, but when she opened she started laughing! The party was so nice! All her family was there, they were very nice! I'm supposed to be at Dana's but when I called no one answered and when I rang the doorbell no one answered! I hope she's not mad at me. So now I'm home and I'll be leaving again at 6:30 to go watch the Percussion Ensemble for the 3rd time! This time Trisha and I are NOT sitting in the center. All you get is Channel's butt for a view...

*I'll write more later!

*Check out this cool blog I LOVE it!

*Last night I had the WORST charlie horse ever! It hurt so bad. I thought I would share that with everyone.

*I'm more awake now so I'll fill in what I did last night. Mark, Jed, Trish and I went to 7-11 to get our friend a graduation gift, a Playgirl. Since Mark is 18 he bought it for us. While he was buying it dumass Trisha starts laughing and the clerk lady looks at us. Oh well, it was a fun night. Trisha opened it and let me tell you, weird and disgusting, oh yea, and old guys!

*To be continued...

*Well, hello everyone. I'm 17, soon to be legal, I'm a junior, but in a few weeks I will officially be a senior. Except to Casie, she thinks to officially be a senior it has to be the first day of the 2004-2005 school year, I disagree. As soon as the band is finished playing the Fanfare and Recessional we are seniors!

*Well, my life has taken a major spin. Awful things after awful things keep happening. I think I can handle it, so far-so good. It just makes me nervous to think about it or I would write it.

*On a happier/sadder note, depending on who you are and what grade you're in, today was the seniors last day. I'm sad for a few, but glad some are leaving. At least the hallways won't be so crowded. Anyway, I was invited to a graduation party for Sarah and we (Me and Trisha) got Mark to buy us a Playgirl for her and we taped a picture of Viggo Mortensen on the cover. Very clever!

*I'll write later!
