State of Shock
posted at 12:51 pm on 05-10-2009
My community got a massive shock last tuesday. One of my school's most outstanding seniors committed suicide in a bathroom at school. We went into lockdown the second someone found out, then were evacuated down to the nearby middle school.
No one will ever forget the events of May 5, 2009 and neither will the senior class forget our classmate and friend Tom Kane. Tom was a class clown and the kind of person who didn't care what you looked like or if you had a disability or whatever. He was one of the few guys in my class that treated me like another human back in middle school and the first year of high school.
I don't know if this event made national news, but it certainly made local news. It may have made national but I don't know.
Tom, we will all miss you and I hope you found what you were looking for. Rest In Peace, TK.

Why can't people just leave me alone!?!?
posted at 08:57 pm on 04-07-2009
so, for the first time since...well, i don't even know when i am really and truly happy. everything is going right.
i have my first boyfriend, a guy who i have been friends with since the 7th grade, and my sister had to bring up a few rumors that flew around after his last girlfriend dumped him. one rumor was that he made his girlfriend feel like the greatest girl in the world, then just stopped talking to her. i'm not being the over-protective girlfriend here, but i know for a fact that this rumor wasn't true at all. she broke up with him and immediately started going out with a 2nd guy she had liked for years. she was also a jerk to one of our mutual friends when she noticed that those 2 were hanging out more often. my sister is younger than me, but b/c she's more outgoing (not to mention NT) she has more "street smarts" while i am the "book smart" one. she is afraid that my boyfriend is just using me, but my opinion is that, 1. i have known the guy for 5 years now, and i'm a very good judge of character and 2. if our relationship ends badly, its not her life that ends up a mess.
thats the major part of my "i wish people would leave me alone now that i am happy" shpiel, everything else is just the typical teenage angst things: parents annoying the hell out of me, school(ohmygosh its my senior year!!!!), friends driving me beyond the point of insanity....yeah, typical teenage stuff...
on the plus side: no meltdowns in almost a month!!!!!! :)

Theatre and Senior Year
posted at 05:34 pm on 03-22-2009
So, this is my final year of high school and it has been amazing so far.
Last night was closing night for my last musical at my school. The show went off without a single mistake for cast, stage crew or pit orchestra. Anyway, before the last show all of the seniors get in this massive group and each person tells a story. All of the stories end with everyone screaming "rip s**t up!" at the top of our lungs. Most guys in the circle tell stories about taking a crap, while the girls tell mushy stories about getting into the Players(the name of our Drama Club) or what the Players mean to us.
For years I have watched and listened to the Senior Players tell their stories and have wanted to join in. This year may be the last time I will ever see many of the Class of 2009 Players. My own story was not about taking a crap(though there were a few good ones), but about the Players.
"I joined the Players on Stage Crew in sophomore year. That first year I listened to the stories and watched on, wondering why the seniors did this crazy circle. Now I know. It's because the Players are a family of their own. My life before I joined the Players was crap and I am thoroughly convinced that you guys saved my life. In memory of that, let's go out there and...RIP S**T UP!"
I was stupid, at the beginning of the show, last weekend, I promised myself that I would not cry until the end of the last show....didn't happen. By the end of the circle, I was bawling my eyes out...and I cried again at the end of the show.
If anyone is reading this, thank you, if not, oh well....but anyway, Thank You, Class of 2009 Players

New to Wrong Planet
posted at 07:10 pm on 10-09-2008
'Allo, my name is Sarah & I'm (obviously) new to wrong planet. I was just recently diagnosed with Asperger's and I still don't know much about Asperger's.
My life is really crazy, between school, my school's theater program and all the other things I do, so I might not get on all the time, but I'll try to stop by this corner of cyberspace every so often. I'll have to see everyone later.
Bye!
