So Ball was super awesomely amazing fun...it was ten times better becasue jessie was there! We all danced the night away...I think the best part was our RV had HONK IF YOU LIKE BALLS on the back of it...for the most part it was a drama free night... Cal and Kelly won Ball King and Queen...and my cottage was super fun, minus the whole part of me having to go to work...wow I love my friends...

...school is almost over...I'm very excited but sad at the same time...excited because I am going to Arcadia University in Pennsylvania and playing field hockey there...but sad to leave everyone I know and love...but on the upside I will have a friend down there in near by Philly...I will definitely be coming to visit you John, its a $7.50 round trip on the train...so much has been happening...college, scholarships, senior project, APs, and trying to get in as much times with my friends as possible. I have gone to a lot of shows recently...Franz Ferdinand/Death Cab/The Cribs, Dr. Dog/The Strokes, Tons of Local Shows- Out of Line (numerous times), The Demos plus there are like 4 Demos shows coming up (one in NYC!!), and OK GO/ She Wants Revenge at the Penny...I have really put music just out of my life only going to a few shows, but now I'm back in it and I love it...I'm in the works of making a mix CD to play in the background of my life...if anyone can think of any great songs that might represent me in someway let me know...lifes just been going by for me i can't wait till the summer, till working at summer camp...I'm going to miss work when I'm at college...I will miss the kids...I'm especailly going to miss Evalee and Tea the little girls I babysit for... oh and Bogart and Mosh my pets...It's really going to be hard without them... and my family of course I'm going to miss them tons but I can call them... I just can't wait for college, I am completely terrified and overly excited at the same time...
much love
Rachel

So I have decided that I like dancing...a lot...not like ballroom dancing but hanging out with friends at b-day party dancing....I used to be that shy kid who would just stand there at shows and tap there foot or sway to the music...but the last harmony house show I went to I actually danced with some pretty cool friends of mine...and then I had dans party and there were a couple of people who just stood there while everyone around was dancing and having a good time and I thought...wow that's what looked like...well no more i am a dancing queen...haha not really...nicks party was the best...we all were dead tired from dancing around and making fools of ourselves and I can't stop from dancing around the house now...I have fallen back into listening to music outside my car....music+dancing= a happy Rachel...I just thought I should post that because it has been on my mind...

~anyone want to dance this weekend? haha

[16 Dec 2005|07:25pm] |
Perks of being a wallflower is an amazing book...I recommend it...Erin let me barrow it...she also gave me a ladybug hamper for christmas...she gave it to me early because I was really sad today...I will not go into details why I was sad...but I'm glad I have friends to be there for me... thanks
So this is my life.
And I want you to know
that I am both happy and
sad and I'm still trying
to figure out how that could be...

| I saw your face in a crowded place |
[11 Dec 2005|02:02am] |
I can't sleep...so I will write...part of the reason I can't sleep is because I'm listening to you're beautiful by James Blunt and it makes me sad and because I miss people...I got to hang out with Carly and Erin tonight and it was amazing because I haven't been able to...but hanging out with them made me miss even more people...seeing your friends in school doesn't count...I miss Kelly, Carly, Erin, Marissa, Andrew, Steph, Cal...and so many others...I miss my brother...it's still kinda wierd with him not being home I mean even when he was living hear he was out all the time but it's different...no more making fun of him, getting into fights, or stealing his t-shirts...it's made me realize how empty the house really will be when I leave for college...speaking of brothers I miss John...Ryan told me he is moving and I started to cry...I never get to see him as it is and now I really won't if he moves farther away...I miss all the people that use to be around...especially Colleen...last time I saw John and Colleen was over the summer and now it's winter already and its just sad...I have so many great people in my life right now, but I don't even get to see them...I love my busy life and I hate it...I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't busy...but I would have more time for friends...but honestly I wouldn't be Rachel if I didn't do all the things I do.....I like snow...it makes me happy, it's so clean and fresh, and new...Christmas is a good time...I watched Christmas movies all day while I was cleaning my room and doing homework and knitting...they made me happy...made me think of memories...I'm not one to dwell in the past but sometimes it just feels good to remember all those fun times in yourlife...you play it in your head like some horribly edited movie that you love...so many things have happened this past year so many good, and so many bad it was the best and worst at the same time...I don;t know...now things are so different...I know everything has to change but I wish I could go back to this summer...back to 8th lake, back to the cottage for kelly's surprise party, back to hanging out with my friends everyday...back to webster park...back to car rides with friends...just back...but I have to move forward, turn 18, get accepted to college, get through senior year, survive ap chem, make to graduation, live out my summer...and leave... but I know I will come back and I know I will see my friends because I love them to much to let them go...okay I should go to bed it's 2:30 and I have field hockey and apchem to do tomorrow...
okay so I had to put the lyrics down...this song makes me sad but in a good way (if that makes sense)...
"You're Beautiful"
My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

life is busy at least for me...I know it's always been busy but this year seems 10 times worse I thought senior year is suppose to be fun...well it's far from it...I was so used to hanging with my friends almost everyday and now I can't even hang with them once a week...it's frustraighting but thanks to Andrew's party I'm finally able to get out of the freaking house...I know it's mostly my fault that I'm so busy but it's not like I can say no to yearbook or field hockey or school...all I can say is if I didn't have my friends I would probably be in an insane asylum...I g2g...school calls

I totally stole this from Carly...but whateva I do what I want, cuz I hardcore...
Camping in the Adirondaks was the greatest conclusion there ever could be to summer...I'm sad summer's over but it's senior year and hopefully it's going to rock...so far I like all my classes minus APchem...it's going to be the death of me...but I'm trying...I will not give up...I need this to prove to myself that I will and am going to become a vet...I can't even explain how much I love my friends it's going to be hard to say goodbye to them next year...but I guess for now i will live for today...so here's a quick summary of the weekend...
It dropped to like 30 degrees every night. Solution, everyone sleep in a big tent.
There is no cell phone reception and only electricity really in the bathrooms. Conclusion, millions of stars.
We, meaning Me, Carly, Erin, Kelly, Cal, Tyler, Matt, Emily, and Mama and Papa Saunders camped on 8th lake.
We kyaked while singing songs from Pocahontas.
There was an island on 8th lake. Gives us use of the handy porta - potty. Kelly and I left our mark.
We climbed a mountain, bad knees and all, with Mama-Saunders.
We went shopping in the cutest little towns.
And really got to know Papa Saunders he is one cool dude.
Definitely a great conclusion to my awesome summer.
"Remember the inlet, Where memories and mountains meet."

| We do what we want...cuz we hard core!! |
[06 Sep 2005|12:35am] |
wow this weekend was amazing...it made summer go out with a bang...I love those people so much...just to all be able to hangout in for one last time in an amazing place like 8th lake just was awesome...this summer has been by far the greatest summer of my life...in many aspects it was the worst as well...but it dosen't matter...it just doesn't...
amazing memories with amazing people = the greatest summer of my life
Remember the Inlet,
Where the memories and mountains meet...

| Last Show |
[14 Aug 2005|11:52am] |
|
a lot of stuff has happened since I last updated but It doesn't matter things have turned out great...Kelly's surprise party was a huge success...I love that girl and all my other friends who helped plan it...especially Lauryn who was my right hand party planner, Erin for the cakeness, Carly for being "aunt mary" and Cal, Alex, Jason, and Alicia for playing at the party...Kellea had no clue what was going on...it was so great. Then last night was The Demos "Last show" at least for a while with Alicia and Alex going off to College...it was there greatest show yet...they all really got into it, I mean all of their shows are awesome but this one was over the top...it was amazing and i love that were all friends it made the experience even better...awesome show guys....well minus the whole confrentation with FF...ah well such is life...bashing the drum set at the end really made everything come together...I will miss not having any of their shows to look forward to...but I guess Cal and Jay's Electiric Bass group will keep us from going insane...I love all of those people...
