Emily: AHHH! OH MY GOSH!
Sean: Oh shush you're fine.
Emily: You know Sean, the more I let you drive me around, the more unsafe I feel.
Sean: Well recently I've discovered that I can be more dangerous and still be living.
Emily: I don't even know if that makes sense or not... but I think that's the smartest thing you've ever said.
Sean: I know.

Christmas is tomorrow! I can’t wait to see my family over this break. Christmas Eve is probably the most memorable day for me each year, as it hopefully is for most Americans, and I don’t want anything to ruin it.
Kinda stressful though, because I have a major interview project for Career Prep due the day we get back from break, and my Yearbook page deadline is January 11. Yikes!...

I have been very cold today. My skin feels like paper when I touch it, and I’m afraid to get too close to the fire with the fear that I will go up in smoke. So instead, I put on layers. The clothing made me feel stuffy and uncomfortable rather than comforted, so I removed them quickly. In conclusion, I’ve given up trying to be warm right now. Instead of actually making myself warm...

Needle and Thread - Sleeping At Last
Katherine: Emily?
Me: Yes, Katherine?
Katherine: This red paint looks like blood.
Me: It's just red.
Katherine: Well should I keep painting the snowman's face this color, or not?
Me: ...You're painting the snowman's face red?
Katherine: I guess that does look a little creepy.
Things I found cleaning today, and what I think of them:
Dust - Self explanitory.
My old pink Columbia jacket - I thought I lost it in 7th grade.
Songs of the Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult - I need to finish it. And yes Kate, I still dislike the characters.
Scotch tape - Which is funny because I thought I was all out.
Daisyboom - I smiled and put her back where she belongs.

Today I heard the most ballsy thing from one of the littlest people I know. The accusations went on for about 15 minutes. I just really hope she talked some sense into those boys. Someday maybe I’ll have the guts to bitch out someone deserving of it like this person did, it was very liberating to watch. Anyway-
Tonight is Office night with my boys… plus Kate Glenn! Schedule: COD, more...

Hopefully this weekend will be a blast, I’m pretty sure I’m doing something with someone different everyday! I guess the possiblities are endless when you’ve got A DRIVER’S LICENSE?!!@!!??!?!!@!!!!

Mike: Snowday tomorrow!
Me: What should we do?
Mike: Build snowforts, obviously.
Me: And have a snowball fight?
Mike: Yes.
Me: Or in your case, a snowball massacre.
Mike: It's so on!
It's so on.
Lacrosse is a very rough sport. I was completely unaware of that fact until today. My two favorite Pannke brothers, Sean and Mike, played today while Kate and I enjoyed ourselves on the bleachers. I love them, they’re such nice boys. They always text me the same things at the same time without even realizing it.
Also, we bought our Christmas tree today! So that was pretty...
