The cops just called my house. Apparently when socalledbeast’s friend jokingly hit that kid on Friday, someone called the cops and told them I was there. My mom is FREAKING OUT. I’m denying it, of course. Crazybestfriend and I just walked around town for a while, and I had nothing to do with the scavenger hunt. But I’m completely fucked. I have to go down to the station for questioning. I don’t know what to do…

My mom almost found out where I was on Saturday, and she’s most likely going to figure out that I was lying.. so I’m bracing myself for the backlash.

She was talking to my friend’s mom yesterday (I had no idea they talked!) and she told her that he went to a party with a group of us. I’d told my mom he drove me home.. so she was quite confused as to where I was/how I got there.

I told her I’d gone to the greek festival, then driven back to crazybestfriend’s house with the whole group, then gone to another friend’s house before returning and sleeping at 12 sharp.

That’s obviously not what happened.

Let’s hope she doesn’t talk to crazybestfriend’s mom (who’s one of her close friends).

Boy updates….

1. Shyboy is playing “hard-to-get.” I think he knows I have a complete hold over him, but he doesn’t want to come across as weak. Except I totally know his plan, so it’s kind of backfires… but he doesn’t need to know that. We took a walk the other night, and just talked like friends. It was nice! He was glad we didn’t hook up saturday night - he didn’t want to, according to guybestfriend (I guess that goes along with “playing hard-to-get”).

2. Flirtyboy and I are still friends, I guess. I mean, he’s a flirt, so we flirt. But I don’t like him as more than a friend. Even though he’s really cute! But I’ve been becoming friends with some of his friends, so it’s kind of weird. Also, he records music with some guys, and I think they might ask me to do a song with them.

3. Promboy has a girlfriend now. Obviously I don’t like him or anything, but I just thought I should mention that. I talked to him on saturday. He’d be a cool guy, if he were into more than going out and partying. It’s okay though, we’re still friendly.

4. I still haven’t really talked to funnyguy since Junior prom when he tried to get with me (again). I’m fine with that.. he’s SO HOT but not really boyfriend/”talking” material. I’d hookup with him again, sure, if we were drunk (most likely), but I’m not looking to pursue it.

5. I haven’t talked to singerboy in a while. I miss him! He posted all his prom pictures of him and his girlfriend (UGH - I didn’t like her dress, but she looked perfect of course..) and the last time I talked to him was when I texted him to say how great they looked together (GAG). I think we’re trying to organize a class reunion, so we’ll see each other then. I hope.

I’m totally fine with being single right now, and I’m totally fine with shyboy playing hard-to-get.

I just tweeted “two can play at this game #leggo”

Because obviously, I’m going to win :)

I’m currently stuck between two songs for my audition next week:

1. “Gravity” by Sara Barailles
2. “A Quiet Night At Home” from Bare: A Pop Opera

Both these songs are absolutely gorgeous! My only problems are…

• I don’t know if the second one reflects the character/show right
• I don’t know if I’m completely comfortable singing a non-MT song for an MT audition

But I’m learning both songs anyway! I’ll probably decide 5 minutes prior to my audition.

Oh well!

My friends and I talk all the time about “the phase” - it’s that time of a teenager’s life when they constantly crave parties, drugs, etc. I went through my “phase” earlier in the year.. but a few of my friends are convinced I’m reliving it. But I’m not. I’m not a huge fan of parties… but lately I’ve been trying to branch out, make new friends, etc., because summer is coming up and a lot of my friends are leaving!

But anyway..

Last night after the Greek festival my friends and I went to this sophomore’s house for a party. His uncle was there (and partying with us.. it was WEIRD) so we were totally chaperoned. It was great - he bought us beer, smoked with us, and made sure the cops didn’t come (it was actually kind of creepy, but I wasn’t about to complain). A lot of people were there - but I’d decided early in the night that I wasn’t going to hook up with anybody. I’m kind of done with that for now. A few memorable things did happen, though:

1. Shyboy’s rebound (the really hot one) hooked up with his friend all night! I met her, she was actually kind of nice.. it was weird. I wasn’t as inclined to hook up with shyboy once that happened - I’d originally planned to be all over him if she was hitting on him. Why am I a bitch..? :)

2. Crazybestfriend broke her boy fast - this is the longest she’s lasted abstaining from boys (it’s been a little over a week, I think)! There was this really hot guy there from another school who was totally hitting on her (and his ugly friend on me…EW) and I convinced her to go for it - I told her if she’s going to break her fast, it’s best if it’s a hookup from another school. She was kind of annoyed at herself for hooking up with him instead of this other guy (the other guy was more her type) but I think she was okay with it, because he was hot.

3. This douchey senior from my school tried to get with me… He’d actually be a great guy - somewhat attractive, athletic, smart, rich, popular - but he’s SO ANNOYING. The only reason I’d EVER even consider hooking up with him is to get back at this girl I don’t like (she used to fuck him, and then she fell in love with him, and he never actually liked her.. it’s a long story). But I’d never stoop that low. But he always teases me/makes fun of me/etc. and last night we were talking and his friend gave him THE LOOK* so I literally walked away from him (it was a great moment).

4. I talked to shyboy - but we didn’t hook up! One of my friends lectures me FOREVER every time he gets drunk to get back with shyboy, and last night was no exception. It’s kind of annoying, but pretty funny. We ended up talking, and kind-of-cuddling, but I didn’t kiss him. Actually, crazybestfriend and I tried sleeping over his house, but he had to get up early this morning so he couldn’t hang out (I crashed at her house instead). I think if I’m going to give our relationship another shot, it’s going to be SLOW and he’s going to have to start instigating. But I’ll see.

It was a pretty good night. I had a WEIRD dream.. but all is good! I like not waking up with any regrets or lost memories :)

*THE LOOK: That look you give your friends when you’re going to hook up with somebody. There are 100000000+ variations of THE LOOK, but for hookup situations, girls usually make eye contact and raise their eyebrows, while guys usually give an approving nod.

Last night, my friends and I lived out our annual tradition:

My 7 friends and I have this tradition that every year we go to this Greek Festival near our town, eat the food, sit on the hill, make fools of ourselves dancing, and then have a heart-to-heart. It’s our one annual tradition, and it keeps the group together and functioning. This year we all went (except for one of the girls, but she’s new to the group so it wasn’t a huge deal), and followed tradition as we always have. We got roped into dancing backup for this singer (it was a true “right/wrong-place-at-the-right/wrong-time” moment, depending on how you look at it), we ran into some people from our school (and then ditched them), we ate Greek food (except for me, because I’m a vegetarian - I ate the fries/pastries), and we yelled “OPA!” too much. The festival is right near a college football stadium, and since our spot on the hill was taken we hopped the fence and had the heart-to-heart there. I would have preferred having it right on the 50 yard line.. but we didn’t want to make our trespassing too obvious! But it was a good talk - I told guybestfriend how he had to stop hitting rough spots when he (“jokingly”) made fun of me. We talked about making new friends (like socalledbeast and quietthug) and how the group needed to stop judging crazybestfriend and I for wanting to branch out and make new friends, since our current ones are going to college next year. We talked about the guys judging me for my hookups (“dick month,” they called it - a play on crazybestfriend’s “dick week” a few months ago), because I’m capable of making my own choices and taking care of myself, and they need to realize that all the negative judging hurts (because I never judge them for all the dumb shit they do). I think it was successful.. We weren’t as tense afterwards, and we all headed out to the next phase of our night..

TBC…

As I already mentioned, the senior scavenger hunt was last night.. and it didn’t really go as I’d anticipated.

Crazybestfriend and I got to the meeting place late, when they’d already left, so we walked around bored for a while… but we found socalledbeast, quietthug, and their friend (let’s say footballfreak - he loves football) driving around sans the rest of their team, so we joined them. They’d split up the list - the 3 girls on their team (these whores from another town) would go and do the sexual stuff, and the guys would do the other stuff. So we drove around getting points, and it was fun! Until the cops started chasing us… TONS of cops were out - they must have heard it was the night of the scavenger hunt - so they were literally trailing people. So quietthug, who was driving all 5 of us with a provisional license, decided to ditch the car. But not after the guys “beat up” this sophomore kid. He’s kind of their friend, and they told him it was for the scavenger hunt, and they barely touched him.. but the girls he was with (I think it was socalledbeast’s exgirlfriend and some other really annoying girls) got mad, started making up stories, and told their parents (who I think called the cops). So we ran, ditched the car, and tried to act normal.

At some point we started heading back to the meeting place, but when we got close we stopped because there were multiple cop cars outside the girl’s house. Turns out, this senior (not the smartest kid) beat up a stranger (it’s on the list) right outside the meeting place, and wasn’t fast enough getting away. So he got arrested (also on the list - but only just in case) and the cops were there forever, while tons of people were hiding inside the house. We (luckily) were not, so we snuck around back - where people were sneaking out - and tried to figure out what to do. The judges all came out, telling us to go home - that the hunt was over/cancelled and we’d hear more from them later. But it wasn’t over. The cops left, the judging was postponed until Monday, and we headed over to footballfreak’s house to plan our next move.

Several other (not-as-gross/sexual/illegal) items on the list:

-Christmas caroling at a random house

-Have a conversation with a stranger in another language

-Find a $2 bill

-Sell something door-to-door

-Eat an orange without peeling it

-Do the cinnamon challenge (socalledbeast did it 2x in a row, without throwing up or anything!)

..and it went on.

The list (all 6 pages of it) was not as bad as I thought it would be. There were a LOT of sexual/illegal things - one team did all the sexual things (EW - including toe-ing someone, 69, and more) which was also illegal because they’re under 18 so the evidence is child pornography - but mixed in were funny tasks involving things like teachers, strangers, and random objects.

Despite the annoyances caused by the cops, it was a fun sober night!
