Yeah, well this picture hit me like a ton of bricks.

Because 1: that movie

and 2: that accuracy.

Hello All

This is one of my favorite photos from Annie, because it was my favorite scene to act in,  so I thought I would share it with those of you who hadn't already seen it. I hate telling you all how good I'm doing because it makes me worry you all will think I don't miss you, but I really really do. I have a lot of new friends and there great, I love them, but no one could ever replace you all.

Laura: we need to chill sometime and catch up, I'd love to hear some good Gatton stories, and ask you about Prom, your dress was gorgeous. :)

Hannah: I talk to you almost everyday, so idk what to tell you, except that I love you tons.

Taylor: We really need to hang out, and I would have loved for you to have seen Annie purely for my costumes. haha I thought they were pretty perfect. I haven't seen you in a while, and we really need to catch up, and have some good talk time. Also, your Prom dress was simply stunning. :D

Braden: I talk to you pretty regularly too, but I haven't seen you since Prom, Stephanie really wants to see you, and all my friends loved you they ask me about you all the time.

Lekey: Girl I haven't talked to you in forever, How've you been? We need to chill too. I hope your road trip thing is extra awesome.

Anyway I completely 100% agree with Hannah, we need a sleepover ASAP. :D Love you all!
~Heather

Field Day is Tomorrow!

Who's pumped?

I is!!!!

Who's also pumped for the season 2 finale of Glee!

I IS!!!!!!

Hehe!

Taylor, I'm glad you like my Youth Salute bio!

Lekey, PROM DATE! I can't wait until you come home!

Laura, :D I saw you twice this week...and I shall many more times!

Hannah, So I talked to Brendon.

Heather, FIRST WIFE! I MISS YOU!

So Delaney (the awesomely cute, cat loving, Quakerly one) might be in Berea this weekend. :O

HAY GUISE

Well then, looks like we need to have a sleepover!

I can't do this Friday but I could maybe do Saturday. If my mom would let me. Oh wait, there's trash pickup Sunday. NEVER MIND. :( So next weekend? Also remember Memorial Day.

I was just thinking about all this and I'm like 'Wow, if they were all there and nobody else.... I would be totally comfortable.' I know you guys won't judge me and won't have any biased views on my problems and things the way some people I hang out with sadly would. I'm honestly looking forward to this, whenever it happens. To be honest I used to get tired of hanging out with the same 4 or 5 people all the time, but now that we hardly ever hang out I kind of miss it.

And I'm so glad Laura's around. And whenever Lekey gets back I'll be happy to have her around. Yay. :)

Braden, I'm sorry you didn't get any prizes at the Youth Salute thing. I just found out I didn't win anything at the Art Expo. But Isaac got first overall, yay! Anyway, but it makes me so happy every time I see your picture out in the atrium, and read the words "Nurturer" "Quaker" and "Southern Appalachian Young Friends" on the Youth Salute board.

Laura, it's awesome that you're around. It's too bad I'll be away for like 6 weeks this summer! But that's only 6 weeks and we'll have plenty of time between now and when you go back to Gatton. I'm so glad you're having an awesome new experience but can also come home and pick up right where you left off.

Hannah, you and I both have problems with change and I know you feel left behind. I know high school has not been the best experience for you. I'm confident though that if you can get through one more year and get into Western your life will take off and fly. You may not realize it but you have grown so much since I first became your friend in seventh grade.

Lekey, I hope you're having lots of fun on your road trip! I'm so glad you came to prom. I really need to hang out with you more. I'm really super excited that you're coming back to school (I don't know how you feel about it)! I feel like you're good for me and that somehow whenever we hang out I end up baring my soul and then you pour some like antiseptic on it or something and it's all better. <3

Heather, you're all gone and stuff! I haven't seen you since like that one time at Libraraoke back in March or something. It seems like you're doing okay at Garrard and I'm really sorry that I didn't come see Annie! It was like PROM and I couldn't think about anything else except Midsummer. SORRY <3

Kaylyn, you never get on the blog.

Taylor, good job getting those five dresses finished even if you had to stay up until 11 two nights in a row. You're a hard worker if a procrastinator and now you're going to get like $80 or $100 for your efforts. :)

too many things are changing.

too many people are changing.

I've never coped well with change.

I don't like it.

not at all.

We need to have a sleep over. Soon.

I have a lot of things that I need to get off my chest.

And I'm sure you guys have some things to talk about as well.

Or maybe you don't. I'm not sure.

I don't really talk to you guys anymore.

But yeah, we should find a time when we're not all busy.

And I'm never busy. So whenever you guys are available. Let me know.

-Hannah

I may never sleep tonight,
As long as you're still burning bright.
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
Count me away before you sleep.
I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes,
Or they fade away.

(the song is 'Trade Mistakes' by Panic! at the Disco I've been listening to it a lot lately.)

Youth Salute

As most of you have probably seen, I'm on the bulletin board in the atrium with everybody who got selected for Youth Salute (this youth leadership program).
Today was a seminar/awards ceremony at Eastern.
The seminar was cool. We had a motivational speaker who has spoken to corporation leaders and Olympic athletes do cool stuff with us. I got to meet a few people too.
Then the awards ceremony.....it sucked.
There were 15 people that got $4000 scholarships to EKU, Georgetown, and Midway. Then 44 people got Awards Stars for being the top youth leader from the 44 schools in the program (some of which had received a $4000 scholarship already).
Then there were other $100, $500 scholarships given out (most of which went to people who were already up on stage for getting awards).
So only a handful of people actually got awards while most of everybody who showed only got a certificate....that the people passed out without any names on them.
I'm kinda pissed. I thought I would at least get a $100 scholarship.
I didn't sign up for any of the $4000 because I didn't want to go to those colleges (and Midway was females only).
There's also this national conference in St. Louis in October that 6 people got selected for. I figured it was the same weekend as SAYF, so I didn't go for it. I'm pretty sure the 6 people that got selected were already on stage.
I'm not the happiest that I usually am because I felt cheated and I felt like it couldn't been run better and that everybody could've gotten an award or at least their name announced.

So it was all dumb.

Hello all!

Do you realize that we have over 500 posts on this thing? And that we've been posting since 2007? Crazy, isn't it? And to think that we still use this thing! On and off throughout the years, but still pretty regularly, I think...

It's cool! And to think that it all started in 8th grade. Taylor and I in my basement and we were all "Let's make a Phunk Sister's blog!" and something awesome was born. ;)

We had the original four and our glove things, remember? I still have mine up in my dorm! And I wore it at the Rave last Semester!

And then Lekey and Kaylyn and Braden were inducted and there were 7... And it was awesome. Still is, actually.

I guess a lot has changed. And now, at the end of the Semester, I'm getting nostalgic. 'Cause I'm about to leave my new friends for the summer. And some that are graduating, I may never see again, you know?

But then I know that I still have you guys for the summer. And we'll have to do something awesome. I don't know what. Just something awesome. :)

But yeah. My life consists of laying around in the grass with friends, sex jokes, shooting guns, and lots and lots of work for the last two weeks of the semester.

So yeah. Guess what? Less than two weeks and I'm hoooooome! Expect random class visits. And we have to have a sleepover. Just us, if ya don't mind. We can have more people another time. But when I first get back home, I want to have some time with just us, kay? I feel so disconnected from most of you now. And that's pretty depressing.

A lot has happened to me in these past months. I've accumulated an awesome group of friends (Though they can't compete with you guys yet ;) ) , gotten a guy, broke up with a guy right before prom(his fault), really learned to dance a little dirty(winkwink), learned to joke a little dirtier, discovered the stress of life, discovered panic attacks(Don't wanna talk about that now. Ask me later.), learned how awful I am at keeping in touch with people, discovered more about who I am, and lost just a bit of shyness and self-consciousness.

All in all, it's been a good year. :)

So tell me about life guys!

See you in two weeks!
~Laura (always of the phunk)~

Well.

I don't know what to say, honestly.

It's the same old, same old with.

Bringing up my grades and all that jazz.

Stressing over prom.

Which I shouldn't because I probably won't have a good time anyway.

All the important stuff that's been going on, I'd much rather talk about in person.

I miss you guys. I really do.

I feel as if we're barely friends anymore.

I talk to Heather. That's it. Well that's the only real life friend I talk to about my problems.

At this point in time Yoela and Dexter are the people that are closest to me. And that's kind of upsetting seeing as one lives in NYC and the other in Ontario.

I don't know why I don't. But.

God. We need to have a sleepover. Soon.

I would suggest a prom after party at someone's house, but we'll probably be dead after prom.

We'll think of something, I'm sure.

Peace out.

-Hannah
