I Know, I Know...

So, I've been told that I haven't written in a really long time. This, I know, but, I honestly have a very busy life. Not as busy as Austin or Sarah, of course, but, I can't write as well as fast as they can, and also, I have updated more recently than Sarah. But, Sarah writes better and more frequently anyway. She has like 30 to my 5. But anyway, I knew for my return to the blog, I had to have a good topic. This has taken a lot of thought, but I think I have decided my topic:

FRIENDS.

Here's a quick overview of the people I will be discussing lest there be any confusion whilst thou is reading:
Micah - my 17 year old friend from Keys who I went to London with and co-starred in "Murder on Center Stage" with, currently dating Melanie (slash Renee), senior.
Melanie - my non-evil and awesome roommate from London (commonly referred to as Melly-Welly), acted with her in "Murder on Center Stage" and "Doctor Dolittle", currently dating Micah, junior.
Blake - really short kid that's kinda cross-eyed and perverted but is hilarious, involved in band, freshman, sits at my table.
Alex - kid who likes to joke about how he used to be deaf in one ear and is half-black, also hilarious, band, freshman, sits at my table.
Madison - best friend, I think that's all that needs to be said.
Simon - my giant friend who I've known for seven years (haven't always liked) who I am currently filming a movie with and who is hilarious, sophomore.
Matthew - Simon's counterpart who lives a block away from me that I've known since pre-school, creator of Botswana (said movie above), sophomore.
Jordan - my geeky friend who loves Star Wars as much as I do who I have regularly gone to the movies with since Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was released, junior, band, in love with Sarah, but currently dating some Winterguard girl.
Chris - my other geeky friend who I have known for seven years and who I go to the movies with every Sunday, junior, band, currently dating Kristin.
Kristin - Chris's girlfriend, hates Star Wars, very shy, pretty nice, senior, band queen.
Anderson - best guy friend who I haven't really talked to this year who is in Choir and Band and always talks about how much better Band is than Choir yet still is in Choir, always has something to talk about that is "so stupid," freshman, band, known him since Kindergarten.
Logan - other best guy friend who I've known for five years that has made me kinda mad this year because of his tormenting a special needs student.
Renee - friend from London who uses people and has shown her true colors since we returned who I am currently trying to cut out, sophomore, Drama, dating crazy Chris Lindsay.
Joy - my friend who, well, how can you really explain Joy?
I know that I write about them a lot, but this is what's fresh on my mind right now, and I gotta rant a bit. Hopefully, the two people that read this will enjoy it, though. (random comment-I heart Conan. Seriously. Every single thing he says makes me laugh.)

And now, what you all weren't really waiting for, the post....

Well, as bad as it is, I guess I'm a hypocrite (you'll find out later). I have two seperate groups of friends: the friends that are my age, and the friends that are older, and the friends who I dearly love, but unfortunately rarely socialize with. So, three I guess. But I'm mainly focusing on the first two.
Now, these two groups all know each other, but for some reason, they don't really mix. I guess it's because the group of people my age hang out with other people outside of school, even though we're really close. The only person my age who gets to cross over really is Madison, and that doesn't always happen. I kind of like having my own group of friends to hang out with outside of my friends my age who sometimes act like they don't like me or something.
Here's what's up with my older friends (Jordan, Chris, Micah, and Melanie). Last night, I hosted a Star Wars/End of Tri party. The people invited were: Jordan, Chris, Kristen, Micah, Melanie, and Madison. Melanie ended up not being able to come because she was going to be out of town, but Micah was still going to be able to come, and so was everyone else. Madison showed up first. Shortly after, I got a call from Micah saying he was bringing Renee. I yelled. Yeah, I was angry. I didn't invite her and he brought her anyway. And, it's not like he knows I'm trying to cut her out, or anything. I'm sure he just assumes she's invited, but GAR. She's SO MEAN to him. Everytime she comes over she just sits and makes fun of him and Chris, so I have to counter the whole time, and it really isn't fun.
So, they show up and immediately ask if they can borrow some movies because, Micah being home alone, and Renee, not wanting to be at home, are both sleeping at Micah's house. I vaguely say, "Yeah, I guess so," while I mentally recoil in horror for Melanie. I can tell you that she would DEFINITELY not like that.
While we were eating, Micah got a call and had to go meet his brother-in-law and took Renee. So, we started Star Wars then began Trivial Pursuit. After a while, I got stuck and called Austin. It was great. They kinda flipped out, then just played on a team themselves and didn't care as much. Kristin read questions and eventually helped me cheat, and I still didn't win. But, it was a lot of fun. At some point while we were playing, Micah and Renee return, get my movies, then leave for the night. I was so angered and disappointed. I was really looking forward to hanging out with Micah. I still had fun with everyone else, though. After that, we finished ROTS, then watched Thumb Wars. Me, Jordan and Madison were the only ones that ever really laughed during it, since Kristin hates it and I think that influenced Chris, but whatever. After that, we played Chris's Pokemon/RPG type game, Epic Duels. The first time I was Darth Vader, then I was Luke. That was REALLY fun. Except that the last 30 minutes or so of the second game, Jordan was in a bad mood because of his dad. Everyone besides Madison left once we finished. I called Micah and basically let him know that I was mad at him. We went upstairs and crocheted/knit for a while. Today, Chris, Madison and I passed out some flyers and when I was waiting for Sarah to pick me up, I called Micah again. I told him that I was mad at him and that apparently, I just wasn't fun enough for him and Renee. Then I told him I had to leave and hung up. And he still didn't bring my movies by today. Mr. Walker is on my dirty dog list, for sure.
As with the friends my age, they drive me nuts a lot more often. Anderson, I haven't really even seen lately. I have one class, Choir, with him and he doesn't even like Choir as much as Band. I kinda miss how he and Madison and I hung out all the time last year. Logan has been having a great time making fun of a special needs kid, so much so, that he made him get out of Choir. Anderson has been participating, also. This just disturbs me. I don't understand why Logan and Anderson would act like that. I mean, Logan was really sweet with Eric Bradley, but did he make fun of him behind our backs? THe whole thing is just weird.
Joy. Drives. Me. Nuts. She is always talking about how band has this incredible bond that nobody else can have or understand. My argument was that people in Choir do, too, because you have to like eachother to be able to perform well. And she goes, "I couldn't stand Taylor Bear and I still sang." I shot back, "Yeah, but you sucked," then added a, "Just kidding." (Another quick random comment - My Fair Brady is the most terrible, yet addictive show EVER!) She's having this Christmas party and keeps talking about how she has to balance out the different groups of people at the party. Who cares? It's like she doesn't want people not in band to have friends in band or something. I mean, I just don't get it. What's so great about band? I'm not by any means saying that band sucks or whatever. I just don't get why all of my friends act like it's the ultimate thing to be involved in. Really, there needs to be no animosity between Band and Choir. We should be sticking together. After all, we're both on the endangered list in Tahlequah.
One thing that really drives me nuts about the friends my age, is that nothing is ever as fun as the thing they did I wasn't involved in. Especially Anderson. After he came back from All-State in 7th Grade, he talked about how much better it was than children's All-State. I'm sure he didn't think about how it made me feel bad since I didn't make All-State. Same with everything else he has done, like OSAI. Or anything Band. "Oh, the St. Louis trip was so much more fun than Dallas." Anderson, if Choir sucks so bad, why don't you just quit? I mean, really. I think he just likes to have something to whine about and being Ms. Holly's favorite.
Well, I guess that's all. This was really lame and basically one big rant and not really that good of a post, but it's a post.
