Cabaret

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Wow, it's been quite a while since I posted! Let's see. Tonight is the school's annual talent show, Cabaret. My dad (the school's Chem/Physics teacher) is going to be performing, though I was rejected. Not that I'm bitter. Or even remotely upset. Nope. Totally calm over here.

Okay, so maybe it bugs me a little. Still, I'm not going to obsess about it. I got that over with the night the list (without my name) got posted. Tonight I'm just going to watch the show, and it's going to be awesome, I'm sure. :)

Anyway, I don't know everybody who's going to perform, but I'll see who all I can remember. Hannah Miller. Mr. Williams (the English teacher) and Katie Karr are doing a duet. Ummm... Haley Boland. Luke Garrigus (sorry if I spelled that wrong!). I think Nathan Sheryak is doing something... If I remember, I'll post again later tonight or tomorrow and update who all was actually there. Till then--bye!

The Final Final Prayer

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Dear God,
This is the last prayer I can send about finals. Your tornado, which I requested yesterday, did not come. Nor did the blizzard I asked for the day before. Today, however, I'm asking for something much simpler, for your convenience: ICE. It's already cold, and it was raining earlier, so all you have to do is cool it down a few more degrees in time to cancel my Trig, Spanish, and Choir finals today. Easy as pie.
Also, there was no Damien McGinty, like I asked for. So now I want the cute waiter from the Mexican restaraunt down the road. Easy as pie, again. No celebrities, just a cute Mexican waiter.
Thanks!
Love, Amber.
Amen.

Another Final Prayer

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Dear God,
Maybe you didn't hear me yesterday. Maybe you were out of instant blizzards. Whatever the reason, I had to take my Physics and History finals yesterday. Also, I recieved no Michael Buble. Not a good day for me.
So today I have a new request: tornados. Please send a massive tornado to whisk me off to Oz, where they presumably don't have English or Journalism finals.
Also, I'd like a Damien McGinty.
Thank you!
Love, Amber.
Amen.

Finals and a Prayer

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Dear God,
As you may know, today I have my Physics final. I also have my History final. As you may also know, these happen to be my two worst subjects. How exactly they managed to fall on the same day of testing, I do not know, but I'M FREAKING OUT.
Normally, I'd be asking for a little divine help. You know, expand my brain a little to help my testing ability. But, God, I'm not sure that'll do it today. See, I forgot to study last night, so testing ability might not cut it.
Instead, I am requesting that you drop a sudden blizzard over Indiana. Please shut down school until after Christmas.
Also, if you have any extra Michael Buble-s hanging around that you don't need, I'll take one off your hands.
Love, Amber.
Amen.

Get Effin Back on Facebook!

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay. On the way to school today, I was listening to Bob and Tom. One of the news stories was about a town in Ireland deemed "inappropriate" by Facebook, and is being blocked. Name of the town? Effin. Seriously. Effin, Ireland. That's not inappropriate. Funny, sure, but that's legitimately the name of the town! Come on, people. Tell your friends. Tell your friends' friends. (And so on, obviously.) Let's get Effin back on the map!

Been a While

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Hey, everybody. So I've been sort of grumbling a lot to myself lately, like, "Why don't I have any followers? Why doesn't anybody like my blog?" and other needy grumblings. Yes, this is another Needy Amber post. I can't help it. I'm needy. Anyway, I haven't posted in a while and will try to pick back up on the posting, but it'd really encourage me to post more if SOMEONE would follow me.

Pnemonia and Other Unpleasantness

Thoughts for today from Amber...

So, my little brother has pnemonia. It's been pretty bad, and he's missed four days of school, not counting the two we got off for Thanksgiving. He's still sick, too. I'm a bit worried, but he doesn't ACT sick-- he's just got this fever and he coughs from time to time. I'm not really sure what to do about it; I've been trying to keep my distance so I don't get sick, though. Is that bad of me?
