12:28 am - Closing of summer entry... how sad Well... the end of summer has arrived...we go back to school tomorrow...i start my junior year tomorrow...this should be interesting. I have a feeling it's going to be a good year, but i don't want to jinx myself (so i'm knocking on wood). Looking back on this summer and summers past, I have realized that this has been my best summer ever! I had a ton of new experiences they i will remember forever. I have learned so much...i've learned about theater, love, friendship, and myself. I have realized that you need to be secure enough, not to mention happy, with yourself to grow in any kind of relationship. I feel that I am in a much better place in my life this year than I was at this point last year. I'm stronger, eager, and more willing to face the challenges that life throws at me, even if i do complain about them sometimes. In the upcoming year i will take retarded standardized tests, try to keep my gpa at a 4.0, and worry about what college i want to get into. I will do comuunity service and other activities that will benefit the community. I will learn about the trials of love and friendship. I've got another year to grow and learn, another year... well i guess we never really know if we will get another year, so i will be grateful for each new day I am given. I'm getting really tired, so before i start rambling I will say goodnight. I hope everyone had a fantastic summer! See most of you in school on Wednesday, ugh! (no offense, i'd love to see you, just not under those cirumstances) <3 SaM Current Mood: grateful

08:36 pm - WiCkEd! So yesterday was officially the longest day ever...but AMAZING! I woke up at 5 a.m. to be at school at 5:45. We took about a 5 hour bus ride to Chicago. That was really fun. I was sitting with Colin, Jamie, Shelby, Brian, Carrie, Sam, and Paul. Listening to Wicked, Rent, MAN IN THE MIRROR, colin getting pissed cuz he was trying to sleep...oops. lol. We watched Seussical too, which was sweet! We got there pretty quickly and went to Navy Pier. I ate 2 corn dogs YUM! A really off-colored magician came and scared the shit out off me with a stuffed swan! It really looked real. Magician: "Hi what's you name" Me "Sam" Magician "What's your first name" Me "Huh?" Magician "It's nice to meet me too" He turned a dollar bill into cockroaches in Shelby's hand! haha! Jamie and I screamed and Mr. Cobb thought it was real funny. All that happened in 45 minutes then we got back on the bus and went to Michigan Ave. We stopped at H & M and Urban outfitters and I got some cute stuff. An hour and a half later we got on the bus and went to Wicked. Our seats were not so great, but my seats were better than Jamie's... 14.50! I cried practically everytime Elphaba sang... let's see, Wizard and I, I'm not that Girl, Defying Gravity, No Good Deed, and then I cried from the beginning of For Good until 20 minutes after the show ended. Most of the time that I was crying were like small tears. But during For Good, I had to use all I had to keep myself from making noise. I had a lot of things going through my head... I really miss you, also, I sang that song to my cousin who just died when she was in the hospital before she died. Everyone was really good. Fiyero was ok, Madame Morrible was kind of balls, the Wizard was really good, Glinda was the understudy and she was great, Elphaba was really good as well. I thought that the best was Nessarose who was played by Libbie from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. SHe was INCREDIBLE! The whole thing was amazing. We went to Hard Rock Cafe after, why did I order the pulled pork sandwich, Jamie? THe bus ride home was truly never-ending... but we definitly had a good time. It is a day I will remember forever! IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN! We got back at 1:20... and I didn't sleep in... I actually went to school...whoa! It was rough... I just watched the OC Season Finale... I can't believe it! It's time to watch PISTONS with fage! Go Pistons! <3 SaM Can't wait for summer. Current Mood: impressed

06:29 pm - Wow, it's been quite a while! I'm a terrible livejournaler. To all you people that manage to write a short novel everyday...I am throuroughly impressed! I think that the last time I updated was right after spring break. Well a lot has happenned since then. Life has just been abso-fucking-lutely fantastic! Up until May 2 I ate, drank, lived, and breathed seussical! It was unbelievable! We had sooo much fun. We sold out a record 4 or maybe 5 shows! We got such great feedback from everyone who saw it and I am so glad that I was a part of it. I know it's a little late, but better late than than never, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR ONCE AGAIN MAKING THE MUSICAL THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR thus far! I'm not going to say too much, because I know that you have read about it in other people's journals. I had some serious depression after the whole thing was over lol. It's tough going back to real life, real life is a little more boring! Jillian came to the show, that sneaky s.o.b. I heard shelby scream in the lobby, and I just knew she was there! I immediately started crying. Everyone must have thought that I was a complete lunatic, if they didn't already, lol. It was such a wonderful surprise. I had talked to her earlier that day before the show and she gave me some bullshit lie that she was swamped with work and going to the library and she wished she could come... blah blah blah... and she came! I LOVE YOU! june 3rd, can't effing wait! Annie is gonna be unreal! Everything has been going really good... I am extrememly happy! Jamie and I are going to Stage Door Manor together from June 20 to July 10. Everyone must write me! Peace <3 SaM ps- is anyone else so fucking tired that they don't know what to do with themselves, or is it just me? Current Mood: tired

08:35 pm - back from FLORIDA! Hey everyone! I'm back from Florida. It was a very relaxing trip, I had a very enjoyable time. I got the most tan I've ever been on this trip (which doesn't say a whole lot, but you definitly can tell on went on a tropical vactaion. I sat by the pool a lot. I went to the flee market and the mall which was so fun (i love shopping and i can't wait to go to NYC!). I also made one very special trip to Miami. There were definitly a few bumps along the way... but ultimately it turned out perfect. I felt like a was in a romantic movie. I felt like I was dreaming...long walk along the beach with the waves crashing and the sun setting and kissing on a small rocky cliff overlooking the ocean... it literally took my breath away. Enough gushing... I'm probably making a lot of you sick, I apologize, lol. The trip itself was great, but getting to and fro couldn't have been more of a hastle. Northwest lost my Zaydie's credit card number when they needed to pay for the taxes on the tickets, so instead of calling and getting the number, they just cancelled our reservations. Dumbshits. So they got us a flight from Detroit to Newark, New Jersey and for Newark to Ft. Lauterdale. We were supposed to arrive in Florida at about 3 o'clock originally but we didn't end up getting there until 12:45 a.m. On the way home today, we had to do the same thing (ft. lauterdale to Newark then Newark to Detroit). Everything was going smoothly until they had to hold us in the air for an entire hour. We only had 50 minutes to go from one flight to the other, that was shot to shit. We had 10 mminutes before our plane was going to take off but they were going to hold it because there were a few people who needed to make the same transfer. Great. We have to take train to the next terminal. we get there and they told us that they overbooked the flight and give away our seat. WTF! they told us to go back to the terminal we came from even though it was Northwest's fault. Luckily we got on a pretty decently timed flight, so we were in detroit, but it didn't end there... no sir'y. They fucking lost our luggage! so currently i am still luggageless- G-d only knows where those dumbfucks sent my luggage to. Here's a joke: A guy get to the airport. He unloaded his three bags from his car. An airline worker asked if he can help him check his luggage. The guy said thank you and also said, "I would like you to send this bag to New York, this bag to San Francisco, and that bag to Chicago." The airline worker said "I'm sorry sir we can't do that." and the guy says, "Why not? You managed to do it last week!" hahaha, that was a cute joke that lightened the travel day. I am home, sad that I have to get back to real life soon, but it has been great! TEN random things about me: 10. Soap Operas are my guilty pleasure 09.

05:08 pm - Sorry- it's been way too long! Hey guys! I haven't updated since i was bed ridden for my last surgery! Well I had another fun experience last night- I had severe pains in my stomach, went in my hospital, and now i am tired cuz i got no sleep. I'm fine though which is good. I am gonna try to forget that last night happened cuz it was a ghey joke. There was I really disgusting guy next to me (definitly addicted to some substance, which is good) and he was moaning and barfing his guts out! eww! I thought that I was for sure going to get my appendix out and have a terrible break, but thank the lord i was wrong! I can't wait until FLORIDA! i need this relaxing 10 days more than anything! i can't wait.... truly, I'm soo excited. I'm so tired I can hardly finish a sentence right now. I didn't get home until 6.45 a.m. and I woke up at 10:00- whoa! Good night (5:17 p.m. is the time of day) <3 SaM I miss you so much! "Who can say if I've been changed for the better, but, because I knew you I have been changed for good." "And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend."

12:22 pm - break... oh what fun! Hey ya'll... yes i just said ya'll! i hope everyone is having a good break, i have to say that i have had better. I had a small surgery on monday, but im okay. I had a great night with colin sunday night for valentine's day. He brought me beautiful roses, and then we went out to dinner at Angelo's, it was good, but i hardly ate anything because i was nervous about the surgery the next day. Then, we went back to my house and just chilled and watched garden state. :) fun stuff Monday i got to the hospital at about 10:30, they got me into a room really quick, and immediatly gave me my IV, which i was really really freaked out about, but the nurse did a good job and i hardly felt it at all. There were a bunch of nurses and doctors that came in asking me all the same questions, which was ghey, but w/e. Then the anistesiologist (don't know how to spell that) came in with a good looking med student and a nurse, they gave me a drug and i was out in like 5 seconds, the procedure only took about 15 minutes, i was taken into the recovery room, where it took me about an hour and a half to wake up. i had such a hard time waking up, and i was so noise sensitive. my parents were in the room whispering (practicaly lip reading), and i kept shooshing them, my mom was bouncing her leg and it felt like an earth quake, my parents made up some story and the floor shaking because the hospital.... i don't know, some bullshit but i was on drugs so i believed them! hahah, that was funny. so i finally came to and i had to pee like crazy, so i tried to go, and i couldn't so they gave me more fluid in my IV and had me drink some apple juice, after 4 hours i finally went ( i know you are all so interested in this!) i came back to the room to get dressed and go home and a vomitted... i got in the car... vomitted ... three times... got home and went upstairs to lay dow...vomitted...slept for a little while... woke up, ate one cracker... tossed my "cracker"... slept through the night and felt fine on tuesday, but still very uncomfortable. I just layed around watching moviess all day. Colin came and visited me after his tv ten shoot, which was fantastiv, made me feel better :) but i was not very exciting company i was falling asleep every other second lol. so now i am here, in bed, for a change. brittany luse, i left you a message, i hope you are doing okay, i know that you will be fine... you are strong... stronger than most people... and i admire that you are able to get through this. call me guys, i could use someone to talk to bird girl rehearsal tomorrow at my house.. cal me for directions <3 SaM Current Mood: uncomfortable

07:37 pm - time to start thinking about next year... I guess that getting all the stuff for my junior year schedule means that i have to start thinking about next year... i wish we could just live in the present. But I guess we can't, so w/e... I'll deal. IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS ABOUT WHAT CLASSES TO TAKE AS A JUNIOR LEAVE A COMMMENT. Should I take socialogy or world religions?... are there any good english electives you suggest? Just tell me of any classes you have taken in high school that you really enjoy... I'm open to anything. We had the first seussical rehearsal on Monday... I had so much fun, it's really cool not being a veteran (well sort of), I just really had a great time. I'm soo excited, these next few months are gonna be amazing! yay! The show continues to grow on me, it's just so fresh and fun, even uplifting :) The weekend can never come soon enough... I think it's going to be a fun one. remeber... leave me a message about what classes you would suggest I take! it is much appreciated! Current Mood: happy

06:36 pm - How much studying can a girl do? So... I have been studying til my brains hurt for the past couple of days, and i have realized how completely and utterly ridiculous finals are... and teachers. it's complete b.s. They act like their class and their work are the only calsses that matter. Take Spanish for instiance, we have to know about all the frammar that we have done this semester, which is reasonable and we have to know the vocab from the lists that she has given us over the past semester... but not only do we have to know that vocab... she says that every vocab word in the book for the first 6 chapters is fair game... WHAT IS FAIR ABOUT THAT SHIT?! nada! How is it that 20% of our entire grade (that effects what school we get into, and not to mention, that determines our future)is based on one test taken on one day... and the other 80% is only ALL of the work that we have done for over one hundred days of school, studying, and test taking? It just isn't logical! The only thing that describes this week: GHEY! (i did get an A on my chem final, though :) Well, not everything is ghey... actually everything is rather fantastic... but again, i don't want to jinx it! Congrats on everyone who is in Seussical, you all did a fantastic job and it is going to be AMAZING! Bird Girl, heck yes! I can't wait for it to start. My car is great, I love having my license, but it sucks having a car ready for me whenever ii need it, and not being able to use it (to drive myself to school). Not complaining though! I recorded a demo yesterday with Eminem's producer, I had the most amazing time, it was sooo sureal. If you want to hear it... seek me out and I will play it for you. THat's about all I have to say about that. I can't wait til finals are over and we have a 3 1/2 day weekind! oh yea! <3 SaM Current Mood: cheerful

04:13 pm - ahhh! OMG! I got my license and a jeep liberty! I was so shocked and soooo excited! my parents got it on tape and it is hilarious! I used quite a bit of profanity, lol. I don't feel too good today so i'm making this extra short... but i thought that i definitely needed to update about this! This week has been pretty amazing, i can't believe how good things are right now! New Year's Eve tonight! Should be fun! Looking back, this year has been pretty fantastic... and I am hoping that 2005 will be even better! Break is almost over, ugh! not cool! <3 SaM Current Mood: grateful

I'm now 16 and it doesn't feel quite real yet. I had a great birthday... I went swimming with dolphins, I went to an awesome aquarium, I got a massage (amazing), and then I did karaoke.

Sam: so true. i'm updating live journal right now, but im too lazy so i don't know what to say about my trip Jill: just say how in lov eyou are with me. Jill: duh!!!! My trip was very good... the place i stayed at was beuatiful, i did some snorkeling, i did some yoga, did some singing, saw some shows, ate some bad food, and tried to relax to my best ability. If you wanna know anymore give me a call and i will be happy to tell you about it. lol. I went to yoga this morning and i sang and it was a good class, but it doesnt get any better than practicing yoga next to my love jillian wallach, no sir. She came and surprised farge and it was great, then we went to starbucks, she came back to my house for a few minutes, and now i'm here, writing this. I don't feel so great right now, so i will right something a little deeper in the near future. RIP Reggie White. It's sooo sad. <3 SaM Current Mood: content

02:57 pm - why is it never like we expect it? Today I am trying to think about all I can be thankful for, and there is so much. More than I could possibly write down in this journal, but if i have so much to be grateful for, why do i feel so empty today? It's a bad feeling. One minute everything was amazing.. and the next... well, i don't know what happened. the question always comes back to why? why don't thinks stay the same. why cant everyone be happy, get a long, love eechother? we will probably never alone and im just gonna have to figure out a way to accept it. Thank you to all who have always been ther for me. I am thankful that i have you in my life! Love and Peace Namaste <3 SaM Current Mood: disappointed
