Carrie Has Graduated & Grandpa Fell Off the Porch
Time: 5:52 P.M.
I'm Wearing: My "Please! Don't Eat the Animals" shirt and jean shorts (with rivets... ooh).
I Last Ate: Stuffed pumpkin shells! Woo hoo!
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: "You Make Me" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
________________________________________________________
Whoaaaa, a fruit fly just flew by! *Ducks*. Whew! He juuuuust missed me.
So anyway, the night before last, my dad and I were sitting there, watching Life As a House when this bat flies by! Dad's like, "WHOA!" and I'm like, "Sweet, merciful crap! Another bat!" And then it got in my hair, so I was like, "AAAAAAH!" I proceeded to run down the hall, and barracaded myself and Zach in his room while my dad chased the bat out of the house with a tennis racket.
I've recently discovered that I dislike bats. They're poop-heads. The next day, we got a cage for the chimney so the bats can't mistake it for a cave anymore.
Last night, I went to Carrie's graduation with my grandparents Shoup, Mom and Mike. Mike's all sick and everything, so he hardly made it there, and it was like, a 3 hour graduation! I swear, like 50 million kids graduated from that freaking school! And the valedictorian decided to make an hour-long speech. Ugh. It was more crowded than an 'N Sync concert, too, and all you could smell was B.O. Eeeeeew.
After stopping at Tim Hortons to purchase donuts and muffins, we all went to Mom's house (except for Carrie, who went to the post-grad party). We ordered pizzas and watched previously-recorded episodes of Port Charles. Well, my grandparents had to leave eventually, and the stupid porch light stopped working, plus there's no railing on the steps, so my poor grandpa fell down the porch steps, into the rock garden. Owwwwww.
Mike's grandpa is in the hospital with heart trouble. Poor guy. He's like, one of the sweetest guys in the world, too. :-(
G'bye!

Self-Made Harry Potter Survey
I got the Harry Potter DVD yesterday, and I swear, I've been doing a happy dance ever since! Mondie (Quidditch Chaser) did a play (that included me!) in tribute to Harry Potter VHS/DVD Day. Since surveys are my specialty, I thought I'd make up one!
1. Who's your favorite HP character and why? Hermione Granger. She's so cool, with all her House Elf rights stuff! I'd be the same way if I went to Hogwarts!
2. Who's your SECOND favorite HP character? Sirius Black. I'd try to kill Scabbers too, the lousy traitor! SIRIUS IS THE MAN! I imagine he'd be really hot. I wish he had his name cleared so poor Harry could live with him!
3. A "'ship" is a fan's preference of a couple. What HP 'ship do you sail on? Harry/Hermione. I love the idea of them together because they're friends, which I think is an excellent basis for a relationship, and they already kind of love each other. I actually have a whole list of reasons. If Harry and Hermione hooked up, that would be the happiest day of my life (yes, I have a sad life).
4. Which of the 4 books is your favorite? I think it's "Prisoner of Azkaban." But I love "Goblet of Fire," too... I don't know. I think it has to be POA because Lupin isn't in book 4, and I love Lupin (that should be a show)! Plus, all the Harry/Hermione alone time in book 3... *yeah*.
5. Can you say "Voldemort" without stuttering? Yup. I'm so proud, heheh.
6. Which HP villian is your favorite? Rita Skeeter. Ha ha, she's in a jar!
7. Who's your favorite HP teacher? Professor Flitwick. I imagine him all little and cute... Aw. And I think Charms would be my favorite subject.
8. If you got the chance to go to Hogsmeade, where would you head first? Honeydukes. I'm a candy junky! Zonko's would be fun, too, though.
9. What magical item would you like to own most? The Marauder's Map. Wouldn't it be cool to know where everyone is at all times?
10. Which magical creature would you like to own? A Niffler! Not because they can find gold so easily and everything, but because they sound so cute!
11. Do veela remind you of anyone? Yeah. For some reason, I picture Christina Aguilera when I read about veela.
12. Do you think you'd like owl post better than E-mail? No. I enjoy typing too much. But I would send presents by owl, just because owls are so cool!
13. Which spell is your favorite? "Accio," the summoning charm. I'm really lazy, so it'd be great to just say, "Accio remote!" or "Accio jeans!" Yeah...
14. Have you ever (or would you consider) worn a Harry Potter-related Halloween costume? I haven't yet, but this year, I think I'll dress up as a Hogwarts (Gryffindor) student to pass out candy.
15. Do you think you'd prefer Hogwarts to your current, or old school? Absolutely!
16. Are you for or against House Elf Liberation? For! I'm an activist for like, *everything* in the Muggle World, so why shouldn't I be in the Wizarding World? House Elves have rights, even if they don't realize it.
17. Do you believe Divination is accurate? No, but I'd take it anyway, 'cause I think it'd be fun.
18. Who's your favorite Hogwarts ghost? Moaning Myrtle. She's a jerk, but I think she's funny.
19. If you were on your House Quidditch team, what position do you think you would play? Seeker. I'm actually pretty good on the HP Playstation game! Heheh.
20. Would you be afraid of Bludgers? Yes! Whenever we played sports in gym, I *dodged* the ball. I was the worst volleyball player ever. "AAAAH, HERE COMES THE BALL, RUN FOR IT!"
21. Do you read Harry Potter fan fiction? If so, which one's your favorite? Yes, I do. I think it's "A Kiss Isn't Just a Kiss" by Elia Sheldon. But it might be "The Pep Talk" by Elia Sheldon. Or perhaps "The Matchmakers" by silverphoenix. I like Harry with Hermione and Ron with Lavender (yes, I know Lavender isn't a main character... but she should be!).
Here are the addresses to my fave fan fics! READ THEM! READ THEM, I TELL YOU!

BAT IN THE BASEMENT!
Time: 12:41 P.M.
I'm Wearing: Mauve Amy Grant shirt and jean shorts.
I Last Ate: Corn flakes w/ bananas & soy milk.
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: The Harry Potter theme.
________________________________________________________
I hope my title sounds something like Quirrel's "TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!" becauses it's Harry Potter DVD Day! ALRIIIIIIIGHT!
Anyway, though... Last night (or morning) around 3 AM, I was in the kitchen, making a sandwich when the phone rings once, then stops! What kind of moron would call us at 3 in the morning and promptly hang up?! According to the caller ID, it was Richardson, Dave, whoever that is.
Then I looked up, and there was a spider on the wall! I'm terrified of spiders, so I started hurrying to finish making my sandwich. But then I heard this noise... It reminded me of that movie, The Mummy, when all those scarabs were running accross the floor. I looked around anxiously, but I didn't see bugs... I saw a bird, or so I thought, flying from the half-bathroom to the basement!
I ran down the hall and yelled, "DAD! THERE IS A *BIRD* IN THE HOUSE!" He replied, "A bird? Are you sure it isn't a bat?" I was like, "Um... no." IT WAS A *BAT*! So, Dad came out of his room and locked the bat in the basement. He told me, "I'm too tired to chase it out of the house now, but he won't hurt ya while he's down there."
So, I went back to bed, all the while freaking out. As I lay there, I heard all these banging noises. My dad must've heard them too because he knocked on my door and said, "Is that you making all that noise or is that the stupid bat?" So he got up, opened all the doors and the garage, and chased the bat out of the house in about half an hour.
Dad went back to bed, but I couldn't sleep because I was still really shaken. So, I turned on my TV to calm me down, and guess what was on? BATMAN!

Holly Rants
What in blue blazes is a fresh-pickled toad?
"Deeply" is a brilliantly sad, underappreciated movie starring Kirsten Dunst.
My dog sleeps with a pink mouse. In the daytime, she attempts to kill it.
Cledus T. Judd's cell-mate thinks he's sexy. I beg to differ.
Ken West is an old man who goes to my church. One day, when church was just ending, Ken stood up from his pew, and took maybe 3 steps before his pants fell down to his ankles.
Why do people live in Bay City, Michigan? Don't they know they can move?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is one of the many things that are wrong with me. Thanks to OCD, I feel the need to do everything from right to left, pity inanimate objects, and make sure I do everything (walk, talk, chew, breathe) an even amount of times. I also have a constant prayer running through my mind, exhale when I think about something gross, and inhale when I think about something pleasant. Fun, huh?
Prom dresses are preeeeeetty.
I need money. Lots of it. But I don't want to get a job. What to do...?
Harry Potter should not crush upon Cho Chang. He should set his sights, instead, on his gal pal, Hermione Granger.
And they say that a hero can save us. I think I'll just stand here and wait.

Holly's Song Pick For Today: "Nothing But the Blood of Jesus" by Amy Grant.
________________________________________________________
Last night was a lot of fun. Zach and Mom both had the night off of work, so Mom got us all pizzas at her house. We watched K-Pax (my pick) and everyone loved it. Then we watched Not Another Teen Movie (Zach's pick) and everyone hated it. After a while, Carrie and Karen came over, and we played Scattergories while eating Rolo's.
Today, however, was not so much fun. I didn't wake up until 4:00 P.M. (!) and I had to be to my dad's house for dinner around 5. As soon as I got dressed, though, my grandparents came in. Mom called Zach to tell him I'd be at Dad's soon, but we all got caught up in looking at Carrie's prom and Disney World pictures.
After about half an hour, my grandparents and I got in their car so they could take me home. We had to drop off the videos from the previous night first, though, and as soon as we got to the video store, my grandma said, "Ugh... I don't feel so good." She felt dizzy, sweaty, and like her stomach was doing flip-flops.
She and Grandpa realized what had happened right away. See, my grandpa is diabetic, and has to take pills to lower his blood sugar. Apparently, this morning, my grandma accidentally took Grandpa's pill instead of her vitamin, which means her blood sugar plummeted. It was like, in the 40s, which is NOT GOOD.
So, instead of taking me home, Grandpa turned around and headed for their house. Grandma wasn't very aware of her surroundings at this point, and she felt way too weak to make it into the house. Somehow, though, she managed, and was soon lying on the couch. I got her a cold cloth while Grandpa got her a cup of regular Coke. Then I got her a big glass of orange juice, bread with lots of sugary jelly, and some Fudge Shoppe cookies.
As Grandma was finally dozing off, I realized I hadn't called my dad and Zach to tell them where I was! I called them immediately, but they were both seriously angry with me for not being home (they were waiting for me to go out to dinner w/ them and they were hungry). Zach said I'd taken too long, and they were going to eat without me. He didn't even seem to *care* that our grandma was seriously ill, and that I had to stay and take care of her for a little longer!
I put in a DVD to calm Grandma down, and her blood sugar eventually got up to 96, thank God. Zach came to get me after he and Dad had their dinners (the jerks), and we came home. I can't believe they were mad at me for staying with my sick grandma! I mean, she's always stayed with me when I was sick, and that was pretty often! So screw Zach and Dad. But Grandma is going to be okay, thankfully.
Alright, later.

An Outing With Carrie's Baby
Time: 6:36 P.M.
I'm Wearing: A white Myrtle Beach T-shirt and jeans.
I Last Ate: Pizza special w/o cheese @ Ruggero's.
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: "Imaigne/Sing the Wondrous Love of Jesus" by Amy Grant.
________________________________________________________
I spent the night at my mom's last night. Mom's new Amy Grant hymns CD came, along with the bonus DVD, showing how they made the CD. We *love* it, it's awesome stuff. Hymns are so much fun, and Amy rocks!
Today I went to the doctor 'cause my ears were hurting, and it turns out that I have a sinus infection. Grrugh. Then Mom and I went to Circuit City and Meijers. I must say, it's jolly good fun to go grocery shopping with my mom. She lets ya get *anything* you want! She's such a sweetheart.
We got back home from Meijers, and my grandparents and Carrie were over. The moment I walked in the door, I saw this baby carriage on the floor... with a baby in it! I was like, "Aw, a *baby*! Is Carrie babysitting or something?" It was a child development class baby! I thought it was real! I felt stupid. But then we all went out to eat at Ruggero's, and I didn't feel so stupid anymore... All these old people were glaring at Carrie like, "She's swinging that baby around! Child abuse!" Heheheh. This little girl came up and was like, "Can I touch your baby?" Heheheh. Oh, man...
Alrighty, well, I'm gonna try and find a survey now. Goo-bye!

No More Ally!
*Cries loudly and uncontrollably*. I am so upset! I just watched the last episode of Ally McBeal... EVER! *Sob, sob*.
Everybody came back for the last show, like Renee and Georgia... and she dreamed up Billy, so he was there... Even the Ooga Chucka baby and other hallucinations were there!
It upsets me greatly that Ally did not hook up with John. I've always wanted them to be a couple, even before he admitted that he hoved her in a not-so-platonic fashion. *Sniff*.
Richard actually got married, though... the minister who kept passing out (or whatever he did) was funny, I'm sure, but I was crying too hard to really notice. I haven't cried this much since my biggest obsession of all time, Daria, left!
*Wipes eyes*. But I've got to remember. Next fall will be a new season... and I become easily obsessed... so bring on the shows!

I Last Ate: Peanut butter and jelly w/ soy milk.
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: "Theme From Spiderman" by Aerosmith.
________________________________________________________
Attention! ATTENTION, I SAY! I officially have a new obsession: Spider-man. Yuuuup. I went to see it again with my father yesterday afternoon, and it was even more rockin' the second time around! I wish to see it again now.
I chatted with my dad at dinner last night about the G.E.D. I must get. Well... actually, he lectured, I listened. He told me I had to call around today and see if anyone gave G.E.D. tests during the summer. Dad says I'm only on his insurance until fall, and then I'm off unless I'm going to school... which means I'd have to be enrolled in college by then. So... uh-oh.
*Shrieks* The Harry Potter DVD is coming out soon! *Happy dance*.
I have a tendency to get my stories very, very wrong. For instance, if I heard my brother say, "I have to break a date with my girlfriend," I might tell my mom, "Zach has to bake a cake with his squirrel, Ben. Did you know Zach had a squirrel?"
My favorite Dr. Suess book is The Lorax. When I was in junior high, I wrote "Holly Zintel--Your Friendly Neighborgood Lorax... I speak for the trees!" on all my papers for some reason.
My nose is always cold and I'm always up for food and lots of attention. My dog and I have quite similar personalities.
Did you know Snapple bottles can dance? They never do it for me, though. Maybe the Snapple company is falsely advertising on their commercials. Perhaps I'll sue.
If I could go back in time, I would go to Israel, right after Jesus was born so I could ask Mary if it hurt when she gave birth to Him. He's perfect, so I figure it didn't. Then I'd give Jesus a hug, an Amy Grant CD, and a stero that runs on batteries.
The person I most identify with is the Insomniac Music Theatre guy on VH1.
Okay... g'bye.

***** SPIDERMAN SPOILERS AHEAD*****
Mom and I just got back from seeing Spiderman. Oh, man! It was so cool with the plot and special effects and the hottie... but Carrie was right. WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT ENDING?! I mean, I understand that this ending leaves an opening for a sequel, but... COME *ON*! Poooor Kirsten! Wait, Kirsten probably made a ton of money off of this movie, so poooooooor M.J.! I mean, her dad was an A-hole, and that Harry dude sucked, and she didn't even get that acting job she wanted.
So what does Peter do? "Gee, it's great that you decided you're in love with me, and kissed me and all, after I've been in love with you since I was 6 years old, but let's just be friends!"
Okay, okay... I'm being a little unfair. Peter didn't have a choice. He's Spiderman, and that's his gift and his curse-- the people he loves will always suffer. So he's trying not to love M.J. so he can save her. I've gotta admit, that's pretty sweet. The dude is giving up the chick he's loved since he was 6 years old so that she won't have to suffer. That's... that's actually *really, SUPER* sweet. But... she doesn't understand, and that saddens me to a major extent. And it's too bad that he had to be "Spiderman" 'cause he wanted to be called The Human Spider.
Huh. Now that I've written about the movie, I seem to get it. Okay... I've decided I really, really like the movie. It's not as good as Harry Potter! But it's pretty dang good.

Who Needs a Carwash, Drive Around in the Rain
Good Lord, it is *pouring* outside. According to Homer Simpson, those people driving around out there are getting free car washes. Wahoo. And now, since nothing exciting has happened in the last week, here's another survey.

Strange Relationship
Time: 2:23 P.M.
I'm Wearing: Deep pink Amy Grant shirt and khaki shorts.
I Last Ate: Peanut butter and jelly w/ soy milk.
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: "Strange Relationship" by Darren Hayes.
_________________________________________________________
I borrowed my mom's Darren Hayes CD that I got her for Mother's Day (yes, I know it sounds like a selfish gift, but I'm only borrowing it so I can burn myself a copy!).
The whole CD is really good, but there's this song on there called "Strange Relationship." Well, my brother, Zach used to go out with my best friend, Sarah, and they had the *weirdest relationship*. They were *constantly* fighting, but when they broke up, they always got right back together again. Now they're broken up for good, and Zach won't speak to her.
Well, check this out. I think this song sounds creepily like them, back when they were together.
Do you love me
Or am I just another trip
In this strange relationship?
You push and pull me... yeah
And I'm about to lose my mind
Is this just a waste of time?
Keep actin' like you own me
I keep running, watch my walkin' out that door
I hear you behind me...
(chorus)
Give me that strange relationship
Never felt pleasure and pain like this
Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong
I keep holdin' on
Give me that strange relationship
One of us gotta let go of this
I keep pushin' and you keep holdin' on
I'm already gone
Do you love me... yeah
We break up and back together
And I swore to myself never
But oh, how you do me, yeah
You strip me of my honor
And I don't ever think I'm gonna...
Break free of these mind games
All I'm tryin' to do is modify my plan
'Cause I can't contain you
(chorus)
Give me that strange relationship
Never felt pleasure and pain like this...
Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong
I keep holdin' on
Give me that strange relationship
One of us gotta let go of this
I keep pushin' and you keep holdin' on
I'm already gone
You keep acting like you own me
I can't control me
You said you never really wanted me back
Well, maybe that's a fact
May I suggest a brand new plan of attack?
And in the fizzle that you're hard to crack
You're way off track
I want you back, I want you gone
Maybe I'm sick of holding on
Do you love me... yeah
Or am I just another trip
In this strange relationship?

Mother's Day Loveliness
Time: 9:40 P.M.
I'm Wearing: My puppy-print nightshirt and adorable pink heart-print socks.
I Last Ate: Shells with pesto sauce at Ruggero's.
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: "Mamma" by Boyz II Men.
_________________________________________________________
Today was Thanksgiving. Wait, no it wasn't... Today was Mother's Day. Sorry, I'm so full, and I spent the whole day with my extended family, so I figured it must have been Thanksgiving.
Dad, Zach and I went to Grandma Z.'s house at 3:00 for Mother's Day lunch/dinner. Everyone ate waaaaay too much, except for Zach, who had eaten a huge breakfast at the Citgo Buffet. Yes, the Citgo Buffet. Yes, I *am* talking about the gas station. I tell ya, that's high-class dining right there. Zach DJed a wedding reception last night with his friend, Dave, and in the morning, they went to eat at the Citgo Buffet. Insanity. Purely.
At 6:00, Mom, Zach and I went to Ruggero's, where we were meeting my grandparents Shoup. It was there that my mom opened her present. Zach bought her Darren Hayes' CD (alright!) and I got her an exquisitely delicate, girly pink dress from Rainbow. She loved them both, which makes me gleeful. My grandmas both loved their gifts as well (a book and a hanging plant).
While we were at Grandma Z.'s house, my cousins, Lindsay and Jennifer, informed me that they had seen my step sister, Carrie, at prom the previous night. They agreed that Carrie's dress was the most gorgeous one there. Jenny showed me some pictures of her and her boyfriend, Mike, at the prom, and Jenny looked simply beautimous! She wore this pretty, elegant dark pink dress that had little flowers and ruffles around the bottom.
And what did I do last night, while my cousins and step sister were at prom, and my brother was DJing a wedding reception? Why, I went to a play called LaCage Aux Folle, and was escorted by my mother and grandparents Shoup. It was quite a hilarious play, what with it being about drag queens and all. It was no prom, I suppose, but I did have a marvelous time.
Ta ta for now.

Carrie's Prom Night
Time: 7:01 P.M.
I'm Wearing: My pink hoodie and jeans.
I Last Ate: 2 bean burritos with no onions or cheese from Taco Bell.
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: "Just One of Those Days" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
_________________________________________________________
This afternoon, my mom and I went to some guy's house in Granc Blanc, where my step sister, Carrie, was posing for prom pictures with her friends.
Carrie was wearing this beautiful princess-style hot pink dress with little diamonds all over it. Her best friend, Karen was wearing a gorgeous princess-style yellow dress. They both looked like they stepped right out of a fairy-tale.
We got all kinds of cute pictures of Carrie with Karen, with her boyfriend Garret, and with her whole group of friends. Then we took some pictures of just Carrie, then just Karen, then I took a picture of my mom with Carrie.
When we were done taking pictures, Mom and I went to Target to drop the pictures off at the one-hour photo lab, but... uh-oh. Small problem. THERE WAS NO FILM IN THE CAMERA!
My poor mom. She didn't remember to put film in the camera because she's so sleep deprived, and I can never remember to do *anything*, so we screwed up Carrie's senior prom pictures. *Sigh*. Well, at least Carrie's grandmas were there, along with Garret's parents, and Karen's mom, so we'll have to get double prints from them. We sure felt stupid, though.

Guys are such perverts. Do you know what my brother talks about in what he thinks are normal, everyday conversations? Sex toys! He sits here online, IMing his friends about sex toys and porn. Now, he may think I'm a nerd for talking to people about Harry Potter and Disney movies, but at least I'm not addicted to porn!
I'm not saying *all* guys are pervs. I used to have a friend named Anthonie who said he never looked at porn a day in his life, and you know what? Other guys made fun of him for that! They said he had to be gay, because he didn't look at porn. And then there's my step dad. He thinks that porn is utterly disgusting, and thinks there's something wrong with guys who like porn.
But *almost* every guy I've ever known is like, "Huhuh, porn is awesome." Call me old-fashioned, but I've about had it with Zach talking like a drunken sailor, and thinking porn is the greatest thing ever invented! I wonder if he'd be any different if my dad hadn't had porn on the TV when Zach was little. I don't know, but I wish Dad hadn't done that.
Ugh! I love my brother to pieces, but I am so mad right now... What is *up* with *guys*?!

Thank God
I called Mike's hospital room a few hours ago, and talked to my mom. There's some really good news and pretty bad news.
The good news is that Mike's fever was nonexistent today. He said he felt better today, although still sick, and he's been able to keep down solid foods, and even a little liquid.
The bad news is, it's confirmed that Mike has hepatitis. He also has a few little gull stones, and he's got pneumonia. On top of all that, the doctors still say that Mike is a puzzlement to them. He has some other illness that's making him feel this bad, and they just can't figure out what it could be.
The other day, Mike told my mom, "I feel like just checking out." She said, "You can't check out yet, honey, the doctor said you have to stay in the hospital for at least another week." Mike replied, "No, I mean, I feel like *checking out*." Apparently, he told Carrie (his daughter and my step sister) something along those lines too, and it really bothered her. It really bothers all of us to hear him talk like that... especially my mom, I think.
It's my guess that Mike will be a little more confident that he's going to make it from here on out because of how he's feeling today. I really think he's going to be okay. I want to thank everyone who prayed for him; I believe it really helped, and is still helping.

Mother-Daughter Lunch-in Minus Mother
Time: 1:15 P.M.
I'm wearing: Blue Old Navy shirt and jean shorts.
I last ate: Frosted Flakes with soy milk.
Holly's Song Pick For the Day: "Calling Down an Angel" by Plus One.
_________________________________________________________
Welp, Saturday was the annual Mother/Daughter Lunch-in at church, and Mom, Grandma and I were all looking forward to it as usual. Unfortunately, yesterday morning, Mike called from the hospital, and said he needed my mom there. So, she had to go to the hospital, and miss our lovely lunch-in.
I went to the lunch-in two and a half hours early with Grandma so we could help to set everything up. I felt that, since I was dressed up, my walking cast was inappropriate, and I wore two sandles. My ankle felt fine, so I didn't see any reason not too. All of our church friends attacked me about it, though. Ah well.
The lunch-in was so much fun this year! Our entertainment was a couple of fourteen-year-old girls who sang amazingly well. They sang "Written On My Heart" by Plus One and a Rachael Lampa song I can't remember the name of, plus a song called "Jesus is the Rock" that was supposed to be an interactive thing with the kids. But the only "kid" that would participate was 16-year-old Ashley Little! That girl is hilarious. Also, my favorite actress from the Flint Community Players, Andrea Consiglio, did a reading. It was awesome.
Yesterday, Dad, Zach and I went out to dinner with my grandma and grandpa Z, Aunt Barb, Uncle Don, Lindsay and Jennifer. We haven't done that in months, seeing as Grandma and Grandpa have been in
Alrighty, it's raining, so... ugh. Later.

Ugh... Sickness = Not Fun
Time: 4:04 P.M.
I'm wearing: My purple Planet Hollywood: Disney World T-shirt and jeans.
I last ate: Frosted flakes with soy milk.
Holly's Song Pick For Today: "Calling in Sick" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
_________________________________________________________
I seem to have developed a cold. This is not cool. I was supposed to go to my therapist at 5:00 today, but there's one tiny setback: I CAN'T TALK TO HER WHEN I'VE LOST MY VOICE! *Cries*.
Yes, so my throat is killing me and it hurts to drink anything, my ears hurt and I've run out of eardrops, and I can't even talk about it because my voice is gone! I feel sort of like The Little Mermaid when she was trying to mime stuff to Eric, 'cause Ursula took her voice.
Mike's condition has not improved, except that his fever broke last night. The doctors at the hospital still can't figure out what's wrong with him, but he does have some tiny little gull stones. He's so sick, he thinks he's going to die. And we don't know if he *is* going to die or not, because the doctors don't know what's the matter. Poor Mike... My entire church is praying for him, and so is my entire family. I'd like to ask my readers to pray for him as well, please. It's scary to see Mike without a sense of humor.
Okay... well, I'm gonna go, play The Sims. Bye.
