He seemed no different from the rest Just a healthy normal boy His mama always did her best And he was daddy's pride and joy He learned to walk and talk on time But never cared much to be held and steadily he would decline Into his solitary shell As a boy he was considered somewhat odd Kept to himself most of the time He would daydream in and out of his own world but in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself In his solitary shell A temporary catatonic Madman on occasion When will he break out Of his solitary shell He struggled to get through his day He was helplessly behind He poured himself onto the page Writing for hours at a time As a man he was a danger to himself Fearful and sad most of the time He was drifting in and out of sanity But in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself In his solitary shell A momentary maniac With casual delusions When will he be let out Of his solitary shell

My Dream
My family...or maybe just me ...we had a slurpee/smoothie maker. And I went to this place and I thought it was cool because it made those in like minutes (cuz it doesn’t anyway??? lol) and so I made 4...1 for each member of my family
Then I was with my gym class and like this spirit came...or a ghost or something (he was somehow connected to my family too) and we were getting ready to meet him (he came out of like a magic lamp or something) so someone was like...we should give him the smoothies...I’m like....err.... but I didn’t tell them that they were meant for my family because I figured I could make more
So someone (it may have been Melanie) helped me to make more...but we had to make 4 different flavors because they were all out of the ones I was supposed to make and I had no idea how I’d explain the fact that the flavors were wrong to my family. So anyway the guy came and he put up walls all around us and Mr. Morrello tried to explain that we had to go to classes but the guy wanted us to stay with him and never interact with the outside world.
Everyone was kind of freaking out...but at the same time no one quite understood what the walls meant. Then he was like I can do this too and he grabbed me and put up walls around the two of us and Mr. Morrello was like...that’s not cool you shouldn’t do that
So then I think I started getting claustrophobic and I was panicking and the guy felt bad. I was complaining that I couldn’t breathe because I started realizing before everyone else that we were going to be stuck here. So everyone got on a bus to go back to my house but he rushed me back there with him. We went to the like the attic and he started kissing me and he was all happy and didn’t want anyone to come ruin it. It was like his first kiss or something (don’t know how I kissed a ghost lol) and then people arrived and he was trying to find anyway to keep us from the rest of the world. That’s all I remember. It was weird though.

"We convince ourselves that life will be better after we graduate, when we get a boyfriend/girlfriend, when we break up with the boyfriend/girlfriend, when summer gets here, when we go to college, when we get married, when we have kids...and on it goes. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when we get our driver's license, when we get a car, when we get a nicer car, when we can afford a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Alfred D. Souza said, 'For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first-a rough week, the big game, an injury of a cold. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.' This perspective helps to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with special people, special enough to spend your time with...and remember that time waits for no one.

So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until sport season, until you turn 16, or 18, or 21, until your song comes on, until this day is over, or this week is over, or this month is over, or this year is over. Like who you are. Like who you are with. Like what you have. Like where you are. Happiness is a journey, not a destination."

Thanks Sarah-dude. You started a trend. ;-)

So I decided that I'm going back to the good old days...you know, the days where I worshipped actors and musicians... Melanie and I worked out guys into three groups according to Hanson.
See, theres Isaac, who is a 'Hot Guy', Taylor a "Pretty Guy' and Zac, "The Chunky, but still cute guy"
See Johnny Depp is inbetween being pretty and hot...hes definitely both, Orlando is pretty, Shawn Ashmore...pretty, Heath Ledger...pretty. Lots of pretty guys. Haha it was a fun night.
I was thawing out. (Melanie would get this hehe)
And falling in love with fake people instead of real people. Fake guys are sooo much better to fall in love with. You can obsess over them and they will think its normal becuase lots of people do it! Isaac is so hot when he sings "Ain't No Sunshine When Shes Gone" :D ::Deep sigh:: See everything is better when you think about how great a fake guy is lol. I really like those guys that sing...or sing and act...like Heath in 10 things i hate about you. When he sings to her from the bleachers ::SIGH:: That was the best movie moment ever. And the poem at the end is cool...

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick --
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh --
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way
I don't hate you --
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

And then they get together and its all happy.

Ok back to my Hansoness and working on my Purdue Application to turn in tomorrow. Bye

Awww Look At The Dog
So. I am officially sick. Woo yeah.

Saw Garden State again. Amazing, as usual. Can't stand Zach Braff still. Urgh.

Sandy was so funny. There's a part..where the dog humps the guy's leg. Right before that, the dog walks up and everyone else in the theatre can tell whats about to happen. Sandy goes "awwwwww.." then the dog starts..umm. yeah. I almost died. Haha. Good times.

Work wasn't bad. I'm too "innocent" I decided. Don't know what a "square" is. Well. Now I do. Poor innocent me.

Now I really don't feel good. So I'm going to try sleeping. Although it won't work. ::shrugs:: I want Caribou, in case anyone's wondering.

You know what I'm going to tell myself wheneveer I feel like complaining alot or over-reacting? There are people who have it worse. It helps. makes you feel bad for wanting to complain.

So yeah

Much love my friends.

-Patrice

Chipper makes me sound like a bird
So. my horoscope told me today that either I should A) completly slack off all day and not do anything productive or B) Finish all my "chores". Then my other horoscope told me to over-indulge. That made me think of chocolate cake. Haha.

So. Screw photo. Screw lit. Screw trig. Screw cleaning my room. Screw colleging. I need a day off. Atleast until 5:45. :-P

So take that. Ha.

I need to shower
I haven't updated in nearly two weeks I think, maybe more. I guess I haven't had the "inspiration" to write lol. So here's a quick recap:

-School started...it's not bad...Isabelli isn't bad so far...he really expects you to learn and I like that...I think I'll get a lot out from his class this year...I'm just not looking forward to writing papers for him. Also Dircks isn't too bad either. She seems to be ok with me so it's all good. Her voice can get a little annoying but other than that, I don't mind her. She really seems to know what she's talking about and I like that as well. Things actually make sense and I'm estactic.
-I didn't make Dracula which I'm fine with actually. I was pissed but it wasn't because I didnt' make it I swear. I mean I was disappointed with things...but because I kinda let my emotions get in the way of how I presented myself. I could've done so much better...but I was pissed when I got on stage and that affected my presentation. I didn't have the feeling of "I gave it my all" when I was sent home. That's one of the reason's I was pissed. But overall, I felt really great about making callbacks. I had never been so excited to be call back in my life. They cut 50 people!!!! Yeah exactly! They only called back 21 out of 70 people...of course I feel great about that.
-I decided to do One Acts. I'm gonna work really hard and try to make it. It can be my little practice type thing for the musical. That's the one I'm gonna be freaking out about. I really really REALLY REALLY REALLY want to get a good role for that one and I need to be able to act and I need a lot of practice in that area...especially because I'm not great of an actor. But I try and I have fun with and that's a plus, I think.
-I decided not to ASM because there really isn't a need for two for a 10 person cast. There really isn't. Phelan said so himself. And it was good because that's what I was thinking and he kind of got me out of the grey area. And I've ASM-ed in the past and Stage managed. I generally know what I'm doing. There's still some things I need to learn but I don't need to be trained from the beginning. So I decided I'm gonna go tell Phelan on Monday that I'm not gonna ASM but do One Acts. I'm really happy that he wasn't going to turn me down though. He said he was plaining on having me ASM in the first place and that made me really happy. Just the fact that he wasn't going to turn me down felt really good. Sorry, Phelan, but I don't think you need me for this show. Now for Bo, I'm happy to help him out by joining crew :-).

What else is there? Oh yeah, people are flipping out about Homecoming. I decided I'm not gonna go. It's no big deal...well unless I'm asked...but I'm not planning on that. Last year, Homecoming was kind of arranged and it wasn't as fun as it could have been because both my date and I were there because people wanted us there. ::Shrugs:: He's still cool though. He's still super awesome.

I'm racist against dances, boys, and bugs.

Always, Sandy

The Vain and Unimportant Rants Of Me
My sisters all went out for lunch and to go to the mall. Now, as much as I hate the mall, I hate the fact that I was left here. Do you know why I was left here? I'm Patrice. Amanda and Erin don't mind hanging out with Gabbie and Kristy because they're younger versions of themselves. They won't make Amanda and Gabbie look bad. I wish I was pretty or atleast normal-looking sometimes.
