All is good. I had a new costume to wear, and my friend Doug got a new guitar, so we repaired his old one well enough for the show and . . . well, it was a lot of fun to hear the collective "gasp" from the crowd.
And the guitar actually survived!

I haven't seen Batman yet *sags head* but I will soon... hopefully!

Thats good! I misplace things alot, so don't feel irresponsible :)

Well same old, same old. I got to see some of my friends from school yesterday so that was nice. Other than that just reading, playing video games, and attempting to make plans with friends (some of them can be so unreliable).

How have you been?
Kitty





Jul 24 2008 4:30 PM

Well yesterday I was supposed to go to a concert, but it ended up not working out. I was really bummed but then this guy I like called me and I talked to him for maybe about three hours. After that I felt all better. I'm probably going to end up talking to him for hours again today AND he's also ungrounded so now I can see him again.
