That’s horrible. I’ve been in 2 car wrecks in my short 13 Years. One when I was 5 and the car hit totaled and one on the way to school when I was 12. It was in the way to school. I still made it to school on time. Now THATS frustrating
Yeah. This is actually the second time she's totaled a car, so fantastic work Emily
ah jeez
Slow clap for Emily
Fuckin hate her honestly…. not just because of this tho lol
I was in a wreck with my sister three weeks ago
You guys ok?
I haven't seen my brother for a long time (he's in the Marines) and the second i see him, he insults me. Not like an "oh you suck lol". No. It was personal and it hit my one weak spot. I started crying and then he played the victim and started to say "oh, so I'M the bad guy, huh?". He's acting like my bio father and i can't take it.
Omg! What?!? That’s awful!
I have to ask. My grandma gave me Lay’s original potato chips and spaghetti and meatballs out of a can. I hate both of these things. What do I do.

Why did she give them to you?
I don’t know. She’s crazy.

Combine them. Play with the food. Make it look disgusting.

AAAHHHHHH A GOOD THING HAPPENED!!!!
AAAHHHHHH A GOOD THING HAPPENED!!!!
oh?
MY CHURCH REPAINTED THEIR CROSSWALK IN PRIDE COLOURS AND IT'S AMAZING!!!!
claps That's great!
Yeah. I mean, Christians generally get a huge anti-LGBT reputation and there's reason for that, and especially for more traditional churches, but I'm glad that this stuff is changing. I'm just really happy right now.
So uhhh… You know how I've complained a lot lately about never having anything to do, how my life is extremely boring, I'm stuck in the house all day doing the same three things over and over again, etc, etc? Well, this week is the exact opposite, so much is happening that I'm kind of slightly very stressed out and don't know what to do about it.
I'm volunteering at my church to help with Vacation Bible School, aka, a group of constantly screaming children being forced to sit down and actually learn about scripture instead of Fortnite dancing through the hallways like they insist on doing any time they get the chance. So I'm helping from early in the morning until lunchtime, which is a lot of fun but also really exhausting so by the time I get home, my voice is dead along with my eardrums and energy for the day.
On Thursday, the whole group including us volunteers are going to meet some nuns that are quite famous around here for their incredible singing skills, so that will be great, but also extremely tiring because I've only been there once, I don't know how to navigate the place, what happens if a child runs off? So that's great
I'm also in the church choir, and they decided shortly after I joined that "Hey, we should pick a list of complicated, completely unheard of Latin songs that take a lot of practice and dedication to sing, record us singing them, and put it all on a CD to sell at the bookstore! That sounds like so much fun!!!"
The recording is this Saturday, I barely know most of the songs, my voice is completely fried from singing and yelling at children, so I'm extremely anxious about the whole thing… If I mess up even slightly it's forever going to be burned on a disc for the church and my whole family to hear
And then the day after I'm going with my little siblings to see my grandparents… The ones that live three hours away. So I still won't get to rest afterwards cause I'll have to pack for the trip, and once we get there it's non-stop running from some cool tourist attraction to my cousin's theater to two different swimming pools to a restaurant… There's no break, no rest, no nothing…
And then once that's over, everything goes back to repeating the same boring days over and over again probably for the rest of summer.
internal screaming
The worst part is though, I won't be able to get to confession once again, so by my religious beliefs and everything, if for some reason I die soon, there's no hope for me whatsoever and that's a really terrifying piece of information to have in your brain when leaving the safety of your room for that long
Ugh! What Latin songs? I prob know them since my schools like, here’s a Latin song! SIng iT!!

I know 8 of them partially, but the rest are completely unknown and I’m running out of time to learn
damn, good luck
Yep. I know some of those, like Ave Maria and a few more. That really sux.
Some context:
I’m doing this show called Once on This Island. It’s tech week. For those of you who don’t know that’s the week before the show. We have super long, mandatory rehearsals (like 4 1/2 hours for this one) and we run the show onstage with costumes, mics, set, lights, and stuff
I play a villager for most of the show, but for Mama Will Provide I’m a breeze and I’m part of the heart ensemble for The Human Heart. For Mama Will Provide I have these wrist things with ribbons hanging down and for Human Heart I have these red armbands. (II wear these with my villager costume)
At the end of rehearsal last night I pinned my breeze things and heart things together and put them on the prop table so I would know they were mine and they wouldn’t get lost. Now you can probably guess where this is going
So before we ran the show there was a pair of heart armbands that someone left and the director asked who’s they were. No one claimed them.
Then we’re told to go backstage to check if we have all our props
Guess what’s not on the prop table
My breeze and heart things
Ok, this is just awesome. Act 1 goes by fine. Then we have a 5 minute break for intermission. Then the first song after intermission is Mama Will Provide (after that is a scene with Ti Moune and Daniel and then Human Heart). I still don’t have my things. Awesome, wow. (Yes that was intentional.) Well there weren’t enough breeze things so we had to share and a couple of us only had one (we were supposed to have two, one on each wrist.)
So I’m waiting (for life to begiiiiiiiiiiiiin)(jk) in the wing about to go on for Mama Will Provide, trying not to cry. I know I was overreacting, but I was really stressed about this. We do the song. I smiled, but I felt like people could tell it was fake
Then after the song there’s this scene between Ti Moune and Daniel before Human Heart. Still no heart armbands. Again: awesome, wow. So I have to go onstage without them. I’m the only one without them, so I know people noticed.
So yeah that was awesome. And I still don’t know what happened to my costume pieces. And I know they’re going to say something about it during notes tomorrow. Sorry it’s super long
OH MY GODS I FEEL THAT
its hiding with the stage manager. it always ends up there or in that one crevice that every theatre has somewhere where the Lost Things go
