I LIVE!!!

Title kinda tells the whole story, but I'll expound anyway. I realize I've been off my blog for quite some time, so now it's time to bring people up to speed. I passed all parts of the grad exam, but I still have to finish Jr. and Sr. year. Bleach. Anyway, my English teacher said that those who passed both of her parts(reading and language) would not have to take her final. Yippe! Do you remember me saying I had submitted a story to the Fine Arts Compition? Well, I won first place in book chapter! I'm going to nationals! That made my day on the 5th while I was at prom. Now for the prom. What can I say about that night? It was a warm May evening, the dresses were gorgous and the lobby in front of the ballroom was smoldering. I was complemented on my dress(which I borrowed from my sister, yeahness) and even though my feet hurt nearly the whole night, it was an experiance I would not give up. I opnly got one, poor, pic of myself on my phone, so my fam may be a bit dissapointed, but I got it. So, my sister's wedding is this Friday night. May 11th, and finals are creeping closer. Mama mia when will this crazyness end?! Just kidding. We;re doing very little at school right now and once the wedding is over and the finals have taken their toll, I'll be chilling in my room with the door closed for a day and then be my usual charming self. I haven't really been that busy, but I just didn't have anything to write. If anyone has any ideas for another blog story, comment or see if you can message me another way. noe, let us see what I can come up with for Gilligan.

Finally, a quiet, private moment. Ever since I worked Skipper around, things have gone quickly. It was hard to get that wet blanket to dry out and warm up, but I did it. Still not quite sure how I did it, but it worked. Anyway, I stepped up after Skip calmed down and helped the professor work out a way to get off the island. The faces of my companions were pricless when I started talking about wind velocities and relative wieghts and aerodinamics. Oh, it was beautiful. And when my plane actually flew for more than one minute... I thought Skip and Jess would explode! Well, we flew until the fuel, or inerta rather, ran out, but by then I had finished taring the bottom of my flexable raft and when I noticed we were falling, I tore open the plane's hull and used the bamboo to strangthen the raft's structure. We paddled until the boat we're on now found us. The professor and millionar pulled some strings and go us a ride to the same port we had left from. They also got us use of a phone so we could call for a ride. All in all, I'd say this was a succesful trip. I've found a way to get along with Skip, as well as his name. Get this, Skipper's name... is Skip! How ironic is that? I've been calling him by his name for years and never knew it. Crazy huh? Oh, here comes Professor Scotty. Yes, that is his name. Again, irony anyone? Scotty the scotish scientist who could do the near impossable in the tv show 'Star Trek' has a real life counterpart. Now I'm gonna be looking over my shoulder for Spock, Kirk, and Dr. Bones. This is going to be an interesting time, and not just because of the aformentioned phenomena. Skip is trying to pry all my secrets from me. I supose I could tell him, or I could let him see, or find out, something dark and sinister from my past... Ah! The possabilites! But no, that's mean. Oh, he's here. Time to greet him before he asks what this little book is.

Signing off for the last time,
Gilligan

  1. Rae Anne!! You finally posted!! :DDD (This is going to be kind of long since it's been a long time) Did you change the layout of your blog? It looks fantastic!! Also, I heard Megan finally tied the knot!! Where was the wedding? Is it weird to have a married sibling? I know Michaela says it was super weird with Starlyn. Anyway, thats AWESOME you passed the grad exam!! Way to go!! But I'm just curious, why did you take it if you still have to endure junior and senior year? Well, it will definitely look good on your transcript, that's for sure!!! And I did see that your book chapter won first place at Fine Arts!! Congratulations!! I think your mom posted about it a little while ago...you must must MUST let me read it sometime! How many times have I and countless others told you that your writing skills are unbelievable and that you're going to go far?!? I'm betting on you taking all at Nationals! You are THAT good! I knew your smarts would get you snatched up once you went to public school, which they did :) So you're still with him? Or did you break up, already find another boyfriend, and go to prom with that one instead? I'm just kidding :) But if you somehow find yourself single before senior year, I can assure you it won't be that way for long. HAHAHA Gilligan is such a nerd!! Aerodynamics and wind velocities!! Hahaha! And Skipper's name is really actually Skip?! It's not a nickname for...oh, I don't know, Frederick Martinez Jorgensen III or something? I never knew that, either haha! And I love your little shout out to Star Trek there! Just shows how Gilligan is the perfect mix of sarcastic and witty..."Scotty the Scottish scientist" - hahaha! Wow, what a way to leave the reader in suspense!! "What are Gilligan's secrets?" "What is he hiding?" "His 'dark and sinister past'?" You really left me hanging! :) I think that was a great way to end a very suspenseful, very deep story that I, personally, LOVED reading!! Need I say it again? You're GOOD!!! And getting better :)) There, I said it again :) Just on a side note, we had graduation at Trinity a few nights ago and it really got me thinking...that's going to be US up there in caps and gowns and diplomas in just TWO years!! I try not to think about it but...is that weird to you? Two years ago is like...when eighth grade ended, and that was NOT long ago at ALL. Scary stuff...
