The Big One-Eight (You Know, 18)

Time: 10:16 P.M.
I'm wearing: My sky blue Luxor, Las Vegas shirt and jeans.
I last ate: Linguini with marinara at Ruggeros and Tirimisu for desert.
Song that's in my head: "On the Line" by... all those people.
_________________________________________________________

Welp, today was my birthday. My best friend, Sarah came over with her boyfriend, Justin. Sarah gave me a pillow that she made me. It's her best one yet! It says "Cabbage Patch Holl" on it; it's so cool!

When Justin had to go to work, Sarah, Mom and I went to Circuit City. I told my mom I'd like to go shopping with her to pick out what I wanted for my birthday, instead of her buying me something, like usual. I decided on a DVD player for her house and the Empire Records DVD. Mom also decided to get the Walk to Remember soundtrack and Rachael Lampa's CD. They're both really good. Then Sarah and I went to Deb and admired the prom dresses.

At 6:00, Dad, Zach and I all headed out for my birthday dinner. I decided on Ruggeros. Then we came back home and I got my presents from Dad. He got me the hard-cover copies of the two Harry Potter books that I only had in paper-back, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban (awesome!). I also got the DVDs of Pearl Harbor, The Family Man, and one of my favorite movies of all time, Xanadu! I was thrilled.

Yesterday wasn't so great, however. When my dad got home from work, he was all, "Holly, I got you an early birthday present!" I was like, "Sweet, thanks!" But it turned out that my "early birthday presents" were GED studying books. I mean, I need them and everything, but for BIRTHDAY PRESENTS?! What the...? Oh well. Later!

It's My Birthday and I'm Blue

What's Wrong With Britney?

People keep telling me they can't believe that I listen to Britney Spears. My cousins think everything she does is sinful, my step-dad says she shouldn't be showing her belly button, and my best friend hates her because, apparently, "she's such a slut!"

Okay... Britney may sin, but geez, don't we all? I mean, nobody's perfect. Yes, she does show her belly button. And the point is...? What? The girl is in excellent shape. She does two hundred sit-ups a day, along with constant areobics. If I were in that kind of shape, I'd want to flaunt it, too. As for her being a slut, who really knows? All I know is that she has a boyfriend that she's obviously very much in love with. I really doubt that she's sleeping around on Justin Timberlake. I mean, come *on*... he's JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

I was reading my Seventeen magazine the other day, and someone wrote in saying, "Britney is talentless." She *is*? Could've fooled me. I *love* her singing voice, and that girl can *dance* like nobody's business. So I don't see where they're getting this "talentless" crap from.

I wish people would just give Britney a break, or at least quit telling me how dumb I am for liking her.

--Holly

A Walk to Remember

Time: 10:02 P.M.
I'm wearing: My glittery pink turtleneck sweater and my new jeans.
I last ate: Pizza that I found in the 'fridge.
Song that's in my head: "Cry" by Mandy Moore.
_________________________________________________________

Mom, Mike and I went to see A Walk to Remember today. It was dang good, and it made me cry twice. Mandy sang a couple of times in it, and the songs she did absolutely rocked. And wow, Shane West's character was so sweet... well, for most of the movie, anyway.

Rachael Lampa's on the soundtrack! She performed at the Amy Grant Christmas concert this past year. That girl is so awesome. I think Rachael is really cool because, not only is she an awesome singer, but she also has an awesome idol. In every interview I've read with her, she says she really looked up to Amy Grant while she was growing up. Rock on! 'Course, Jessica Simpson idolized Amy Grant as well. She rocks too!

Anyway, getting back to A Walk to Remember, I loved Mandy Moore's character. When a girl told her (sarcastically) that she liked her sweater, Mandy simply said "Thank you," and kept walking, even when the girl and her friends started laughing at Mandy. She said she didn't care what people thought about her, but she always made an effort to talk to them, kind of inviting them to hang out with her, as long as they were nice. I loved that about her.

Alrighty, see ya!

Dad's Birthday and Zach and Tracey's Near Breakup

Time: 3:24 P.M.
I'm wearing: A comfy multi-colored sweater and tie-up jeans.
I last ate: A banana.
Song that's in my head: "Tomorrow Night" from the South Park movie. Zach's got it on in the family room.
_________________________________________________________

Yesterday was my dad's birthday, so Zach and I got him a book he wanted called The Testosterone Advantage (some health book for guys) along with a big pack of Reeses (nice combination, no?). The cake was just too tempting, so yesterday, I majorly cheated on my diet. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if my diet took me to divorce court right now, that's how much I cheated on it. Yup, it was bad.

A few hours after I went to bed last night, I woke up with horrible, painful leg spasms (I have Restless Leg Syndrome) and stomache cramps, so I was awake for a good portion of the night. I figured, no big deal, I'll just sleep during the day. My brother works third shift, so I thought he'd be asleep in the A.M. like usual. I was wrong.

As soon as I got back to sleep, around 10:00 A.M., I abruptly woke up to the sound of Tracey yelling at Zach. She was mad because he said he'd be up early to take her out to breakfast, or something. Well, he didn't apologize or anything, so she started to leave, but then she came back in, and they screamed at each other for another hour or so. I was so tired, I couldn't stand it, and I actually sort of *wanted* them to break up just so I could go back to sleep.

Within the next half hour, they were laughing at something Zach had found online. Their relationship was obviously still intact. I couldn't say the same for any chance I might still get for sleep, though. I was wide awake, and a bit angry, so I decided to give it up, and get ready for the day. As soon as I got out of bed, of course, Zach and Tracey announced that they were leaving for lunch. Ugh! Why couldn't they have fought once they had *left*?! Man... Oh well.

Hoping for a full night's sleep tonight,
Holly Rachael :-D

The Lost Kissing of Atlantis

Time: 12:08 A.M.
I'm wearing: A blue sweater and jeans.
I last ate: Tortilla chips.
Song that's in my head: That new Enrique Iglesias one. "Escape" or something like that.
_________________________________________________________

My dad and I were on our own tonight because Zach went to see The Verve Pipe with Tracey, so I suggested that we rent a movie. We ended up with Disney's Atlantis, which I always wanted to see.

Michael J. Fox's character, Milo, was really adorable, just like M.J.F. himself. The plot was interesting, Milo's friends were all very cool, and the leading lady was cute as a button. There was no music (except for instrumental) and that *sort* of bothered me. But the movie would have actually been pretty darn good if it weren't for the fact that there was... NO KISSING SCENE!

Atlantis ended and I said to my dad, "See that? They ruined a perfectly good movie by not adding a kissing scene. There was not *one* single kiss in the whole freaking movie!" and Dad was all, "Oh, this is a kids' movie. Kids don't *like* kissing*." Whatever! All I know is that THIS kid *points to self* has ALWAYS loved kissing! I grew up on soaps, for God's sake! Arrrrgh... don't people understand, you need kissing to make a good movie?

Ah well. Maybe the next Disney movie'll have some kissing. Later!

Apology Entry

Time: 4:45 P.M.
I'm wearing: My red Planet Hollywood, Nashville shirt and jeans.
I last ate: Cheeseless pizza for breakfast.
Song that's in my head: "First Date" by Blink 182
_________________________________________________________

Uh-oh, looks like I wrote a stupid entry yesterday! Man, *that* should teach me never to write in my diary when I have a migraine. Geez, I was so mean! I was bashing people who don't believe in God? What was wrong with me?! I NEVER do that! I have friends who are Wiccans and Atheists! I don't know what got into me.

Anyway, I'm deeply ashamed of the entry I wrote yesterday, and I'm REALLY sorry to anyone I offended. Everyone who left me notes telling me how close-minded I was being, you were absolutely right. The weird thing is, though, I'm not usually like that at all! I usually stand up for all religions.

I do have to stand by what I said about Rosie, though. She, Conan O'Brien and David Letterman are my favorite talk show hosts. Ooh, and Space Ghost, of course!

Again, I'm so sorry I was being a moron yesterday! Feel free to punch me in the face if you know me. I deleted the entry, btw. It scared me.

Do you have my pills?

Hey... this is the survey that I stole from... um... uh-oh. Well anyway, this is the survey I stole about my *psychodelic echo sound effect* ~DREAM MAN~!

HOLLY'S DREAM DUDE...

Glasses?: Yeah, that thick Coke bottle kind.

Straight teeth, a gap or braces?: No teeth.

Height wise, where do you come up to him on?: Well, *he* comes up to *my* knee. I thought we'd established that with the whole 3'7" thing.

~*Personality*~

Funny or serious: Oh, come on. Which do you think a girl with the name "Hollarious" would want? Serious, of course. Duh.

Party boy or stay at home and cuddle guy: Stay at home and party guy.

Would he pick you up?: Are you kidding? This guy is 3'7", I would pick *him* up if anything. *Shakes head*, stupid people...

Bring you flowers?: Nope. He'd bring me burritos from Taco Bell.

Call you hunny, sweetie or babe?: No, he'd call me "Poopy Bumpkin" and I'd call him "Nerd Boy."

Would he hang out with you and HIS friends? He doesn't have any friends.

When he hugs you, where are his arms (above or below yours? are they on your waist or are yours around his waist?): Let's see... he's 3'7"... I'm 5'7"... his arms would be about to my knees, I think. So... that's below my arms.

Does he pull your head into his chest with his hands (gently of course): No, he's too little to do that.

~*PDA level (public display of affection)*~

Holding hands: Good Lord, no! We're both obsessive-compulsive, and we could get germs so easily that way!

Hugging quickly: No, he usually holds onto my leg and I've gotta shake him off.

Short, sweet kisses?: Long, onion-tasting kisses.

Fondling of body parts?: My leg.

Neck Kissing? When he has a ladder.

Forehead kissing: When he has a crane.

~*Last Question*~

If he's real, does he have a girlfriend?: No, he has a boyfriend.

_________________________________________________________

Duuuuuuude, Port Charles is so awesome lately! The other soaps are so boring compared to it now. Port Charles has been the "weird" soap for a while now. First, they had time travel, then they had vampires, then they had an angel, then they thought they had aliens, but they just got more angels.

Another cool thing about Port Charles is, they have "books." They've had "Fate", "Time in a Bottle", "Tainted Love", "Tempted", "Miracles Happen" and now "Secrets." On Port Charles: "Secrets", they have all these angels who have come back to Earth to take care of whatever unfinished business they have.

My favorite angel is this hottie, Rafe. He came to Port Charles to fix all the Port Charles romances that this vampire, Caleb, ruined. Well, everything was fine and dandy like sour candy until Rafe fell in love with 1/2 of one of the couples he was trying to fix. Rafe has quite a bit of trouble trying to help Alison and Jamal stay in love when *he* was in love with Alison. Poor dude. So anyway, Jamal recently went psycho when he accidentally shot his nutty ex-girlfriend, Valerie. Well, Jamal left Alison, and today, Rafe and Alison hooked up! But it's so sad because Rafe only has seven weeks left on Earth before he has to go back to Heaven! Oh man!

Can you tell I'm obsessed with this show? Alrighty, see ya!

Dad's New Piece of Dangerous Excercise Equipment

Time: 3:26 P.M.
I'm wearing: *Looks down* A yellow shirt with flowers and butterflies all over it, and jeans. Wow, where did I get *this* shirt? Huh.
I last ate: Chips and soy milk for breakfast. Weird.
Song in my head: "Wherever You Will Go"--The Calling
________________________________________________________

My dad has some sort of strange addiction to excercise that I didn't seem to inherit. He keeps ordering all this crap like the Ab Rocker, the Ab Roller, and everything else he happens to see on an infomercial. Yesterday, the UPS guy dragged a very large box to our door. When my dad got home from work, he was like, "Alright! My Inversion Table came!"

Dad spent a good portion of the evening putting this ridiculously large thing together while he watched Boston Public and Ally McBeal. This thing is as tall as me. What you do is, you strap your legs onto it, and then you lean back really slowly until you're upside down. Apparently, it's supposed to stretch your back out, but it's terribly dangerous. *Shakes head*, I can't believe my dad spent $300 on this stupid thing. I mean, if I had $300, I'd spend it on something valuable... like burritos.

Later.

Bed-Time Bear, eh?




Hmm... why am I not surprised? I can't even believe I'm awake right now!

--Holly Rachael :-D

Underneath the Chuck E. Cheese Head...

Time: 1:27 P.M.
I'm wearing: The blue shirt that looks like it has another shirt under it, but it doesn't, that my dad got me for Christmas.
I last ate: Leftover Super Bowl pizza without the cheese, for breakfast.
Song that's in my head: "The Distance" by Evan and Jarron.
_________________________________________________________

Sarah, my best friend and brother's ex-girlfriend, dresses up like Chuck E. Cheese every evening. It was there, underneath the head of Chuck E. Cheese, that she met her current boyfriend, Justin. They'd been going out for three months as of yesterday, and I hadn't met him yet. So, yesterday, during the half-time show of the Super Bowl, Sarah and Justin stopped over.

I was thrilled to finally meet Justin, because I feel that it's just wrong for my best friend to be dating a guy I've never met. Turns out, he was very nice, likes Daria, loves Harry Potter, and would sit through an 'N Sync concert for Sarah. Therefore, I entirely approve of this boy, who makes the pizzas at Chuck E. Cheese.

The only problem was, my brother, Zach, and his current girlfriend, Tracey, were here when Sarah and Justin arrived. I don't think Tracey minded this all that much, but Zach sure did. For some reason, Zach has been very angry with Sarah ever since they broke up. He wouldn't even speak to, let alone look at Justin. *Shrugs*, I don't know why he can't just let go of whatever problem it is that he has with Sarah and her new boyfriend. It's just not fun for your brother to not get along with your best friend, you know? I probably never should have played matchmaker with Zach and Sarah all those years ago...

Anyway, since Zach is uncomfortable around Sarah and Justin, I've got to have a seperate birthday party with Sarah and Justin than with Zach. Argh...

Later!

I wish I were in Vegas

I've decided to write a theme entry, because if I wrote about my life right now, I'm afraid it would depress people. So, the theme says something about "If you could go on vacation anywhere, where would you go?"

For the first 11 years of my life, my family either went to Tawas, MI, where there was a beach, or to Orlando, FL for our vacations. Tawas and Disney World are all well and good, but no matter how much I like the beach and lazer shows about The Little Mermaid, neither of them can compare to the dazzling lights of...

VEGAS! When I was 11 years old, my family switched vacation spots. My dad liked gambling, so we started going to Las Vegas. The first time we went, I was in awe. We stayed at the Luxor, and had brought along my whole extended family (except for the ones who think everything is sinful).

Ever since that first trip, Vegas has been my favorite vacation spot. I've been there (counts) 10 times. We usually stay at the Luxor, but I've also stayed at Harrah's and the Flamingo Hilton. I think my favorite casino is the Vinician, but I dunno... I love 'em all. We'red headed to Vegas this August, but I'm dreading flying there now, 'cause of the whole terrorist thing. But if I want to go, I'm gonna have to fly, because we're going for a business trip of my dad's this year.

Anyway, whenever I'm not in Vegas, I wish I were. That's how much I love that place. Everyone must go there. Okay, later.
