This photo describes my day and my current mood:
It's a good thing, I'd say. Confused, though I know exactly where I am and what I'm doing. I'm fairly content.
Today, I saw almost all of my close friends. It was really a great day. I went shopping with Lauren and Steph, making a stop at Burger King, where I crowned myself and kept my title until I made the title null and void so that I could be the only king, ever. :)
Then I went over to Elise's with her and Enrico for a really tasty pasta dinner and playing with dogs. Enrico really got me during dinner. Elise and I were making a salad, and I said that the greens tasted like chocolate. They said I was strange, and the concept was dropped until dinnertime when Enrico took a bite of his salad and said, "Hey, this does taste like chocolate." I was happy that someone agreed with me and said, "Yeah, doesn't it?" and he said no. I didn't see it coming. But I laughed for 5 minutes.
I guess you had to be there.
Then we headed to Cool Beanz which, aside from the awful Christian rock bands, was pretty chill. Time went really quickly. Steph and Lauren came back, and Sarah came by, and I saw my brother, and was drafted to work there from 7-12 on Friday night.
I work far too much. I worked Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and am working Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday... sigh. At least I have money for the time I'm not at work. It all gets drained by car insurance and my phone bill and car things (though I can't complain, being that I spend an average of $25 for two weeks on gas, and I have to just eat it when my car needs a tuneup and/or oil change as it needs tomorrow).
But seeing all of my friends today was really wonderful. I hadn't really hung out with anyone in a while, so hanging out with everyone in smaller groups was refreshing.
Phil is in PA for a couple of days, and while I miss him, it's not an obsessive feeling. I'm really glad it's this way. I'd hate to be the kind of girlfriend who doesn't know what to do with her time when her boy is away. I always have plenty to keep me busy.
I think I'll get some sleep now, simply because I can. Tomorrow, I have a very short list of things to do before work, so I can wake up whenever I want and take it easy until 5:30.
Life is pretty damn good.
Goodnight, everyone.
Peace and Love,
Sun Green

Okay, so I have an intro to write, but first, this:
List ten things you want to say to ten random people, but you know you never will say these things to them. Don’t say who the comment is meant for, and use people only once.
1. I wish you'd have some confidence in yourself, because you have no reason not to, and your life would be much easier, and it bothers me that you don't.
2. You make me feel completely free when you're around, except when you give me bad vibes, and it makes me feel really terrible about being myself.
3. I never want to get on your bad side, but since I don't see how or why I'd do that, I'm really glad we're friends.
4. I feel like you act more stupid than you really are, and while it's amusing a lot of the time, it always has a very sad reality to it, because when someone pretends for long enough, their pretense becomes reality.
5. I admire how happy you always seem, even when you're sad. Never lose that.
6. Maybe if you'd be true to yourself all of the time, I'd be with you. But that's you fault, not mine.
7. We're probably perfect for each other, and you're the only one who can make me feel giddy. I won't let myself think about that too much, though.
8. I think that when we finally get down to business, it'll be just that- business. But it'll be satisfying, none-the-less.
9. You have to learn how to be assertive. Some people are too aggressive, but you, you need some fire to you, or else you won't ever quite get what you want.
10. I don't know if I was right when I said that I don't love you anymore.

Life is so wonderful right now. Let's backtrack. Right now I'm listening to Nickel Creek and I really love them. I just came home from Friendly's, where I ate ice cream for the first time in over a week (due to my dairy fast to avoid phlegm) and it was so very tasty. There was a boy in a yellow shirt working behind the counter and I had Enrico give him a note saying that one of the girls at my table requests his phone number. Then, as we were leaving, I took one of the coloring books and traced my hand and drew two dots and a curved line to make a happy face in the palm and folded it and asked another worker to give it to the boy and we left and we saw them giggling about it. I bet that made his night. And my best friends were there, and it made me really happy to be surrounded by such great company. We talked about weird sex moves that everyone talks about but no one does (I think "the toboggen" it my favorite) and I met Kevin's new boy and he's super cool and Cait Z. and Victoria were there which was excellent. Before that was night number two of The Crucible, which wasn't as good as last night, but still wonderful. The audience was really giggly and chatty and I didn't dig it but they were well-behaved during the vestry scene so I was pleased. And I was given flowers for the second night in a row, and it made me feel really special. I love my parents so much. Before that, I had really wonderful pizza and spent the entire day doing NOTHING which was so needed. I felt like a waste for the first time in months and it was so good.
Life is good. :)

So the week as pretty alright. Day by day it was slow but I turned around and it was Friday. Rehearsal went until the second blackout (8:45) and then I got to leave and pick up Aaron and get to the Red Flannel Hash Band show in Babylon. I danced until I thought I couldn't feel freer, and then something happened at the end of the night. Too long to type. It was, no exaggeration, the scariest experience of my life. I'm alive. Everyone is alive. That's all that matters.
So to take my mind off of it, here's this:
Ten Things I Love That Start With the letter "P":
1. Pomegranate. It's tasty and smells lovely. By far my favorite fruit.
2. Personal gifts. Gifts that you know someone thought a great deal about. Often hand-made, or in writing.
3. Pillow. My pillow. Sometimes there's no greater feeling than laying my head down on it; it tells me that the day is over.
4. "Prudence," as a girl's middle name. Especially when coupled with "Julia" as a first name.
5. Pumpkin cheesecake, and any product stemming from such a flavor.
6. Playing in a forest. It makes me feel human.
7. Posters. They're all over my room. Some tell me where I've been, some are silly, some make me feel at home, some I like getting lost in.
8. "Pseudopod" and other words with silent "p"'s.
9. "Ph" and how it sounds the same as "f". Why? Because, it wants to.
10. Pictures. They remind you of what you've done, where you've been, who you've been with- even when you don't want to remember.
So I just saw Cuckoo's Nest at west with Steph. It was pretty damn good. Kevin did a great job. Best surprise of the night: Mr. Shelley was there. I miss that man. I get to see him next weekend, too, for my play.
My play. Mmmm. So soon.
For now, I must sleep.
Goodnight, all.

Life is pretty darn good today. Besides the fact that I'm doing so poorly in math and Italian. It's cool. There are more important things in life.
I donated blood today. Though I fear needles, I figured that no fear of mine was more important than saving a life. I also got to be the blood mascot, which was more fun than anyone could imagine. I did a Towlie/southern-slave accent the whole morning and danced around and almost got locked in a band locker but it's alright! My favorite part of my whole day was this:
No teacher would've created a more awkward situation with a student in a giant fuzzy drop of blood suit than Mr. Nadramia. So I found him in the teacher's office and asked if he was donating blood today. When he said no, I asked why, and he smiled and said, "I've gotten multiple piercings recently," in the typical Nadramia fashion. I'm glad that I was wearing the costume because I scrunched my face and glanced at his crotch- I both know why and don't know why at the same time. Then he laughed and said, "No, no, I'm kidding. But really, who is that?" When I told him that it was his conscience telling him to donate blood, he reached for the bottom of the costume and bent as if to look up and see who it was. So, my identity being shielded by the costume and my voice, I said, "That's sexual harassment!" He immediately stood up and said, "Yes, yes it is; I didn't do that." So I told him to donate blood and left.
I laughed for about 5 minutes.
Last night there I stumbled upon a really captivating boy. I know nothing more than his name and where he's from, and that he sings and plays guitar and harmonica so happily. I do so wish to know more. Maybe I will, if I am lucky.
There is also a boy in school who has caught my attention. I don't really know him, at all, and he probably thinks I'm on crack, but it's still all delightful business.
Friday was the best day I've had in weeks. City with Lauren, Elise, Kevin, and Enrico- it was just so carefree and perfect. Life was lived in the moment, as it should be. I need more days like that. And the Dark Star Orchestra concert was ridiculously good.
Keep shining, life! I like it this way.

Thanksgiving was pretty good.
Quote of the night goes to my dad's friend Henry, whose views seem to be stuck in the 1950's. Eh hem: "Joe McCarthy was an American hero!" He then went on to say that we were too easy on the American communists and there was no difference between shooting a Vietnamese communist in the head than an American one, so why wasn't it done? Yes'ah.
Life is pretty good. I earned my first 4.0 on my report card in years. Dark Star Orchestra tomorrow. Play very soon.
I really like Robert Crumb's artwork.
That's all for now.

Now it's time for the big one. The big "let me write down everything that happened this weekend before I forget it" entry. I couldn't do it last night, being that I hadn't slept since 7:30 the morning before, but with 15 hours of shut-eye under my belt and the greatest happiness one girl can feel, I'm ready to tackle this one.

VIBES!
Just as it was last year, Gathering of the Vibes is the highlight of my summer. I love the VibeTribe so so so very much. There's nothing better than a weekend full of making new friends (and planning weddings,) dancing like crazy, enduring the rain (okay, so I cheated a little bit there,) and, of course, the funkiest/grooviest music on the planet.
You have no idea. :o)
Pictures to follow!
Thank you VibeTribe'06 for another great year!

So, life is at a great high right now. I'm driving one of my dream cars, and I kissed Cactus.
As soon as I get new pictures of my baby, I'll post them. But for now, here's a couple of shots from the ad:
 
It's all jazzed up now. I love it SO so so so much. Every time I see it, I'm reminded of how lucky I am. What a car.
The show last night was ridiculous. It started with one of my favorite things about shows: the lot. I found some nifty stickers and things for my car and a poster and a snowcone and a really tastey chicken wrap with raspberry sauce. Then we went in and met up with Jim and James from Red Flannel Hash and they were already sporting their backstage passes, so I told them I wouldn't mind if they asked Rob if he had any extras. Well, low and behold, after the Trey/Mike/Duo set, Jim shows up with a pair of passes for Adam and I. We followed him to this underwater tunnel to get backstage. I never thought a backstage area would look like that. It was like a little outdoor lounge, with a massuse and drinks and lots of dressing rooms, and, oh, Mike Gordon.
It was so amazing. He was just, sitting there. We were walking around and I saw him and stumbled and he saw and I felt silly, so I smiled and waved sheepishly. Then I turned around and giggled like a schoolgirl for a while, until I worked up my courage to go up to him and give him a big hug and kiss and thank him for everything. Then I scuttled away and we went back to our seats to watch the first Phil set:
Set 1 with Sless:
Playing In The Band>
China Cat Sunflower
Let It Ride
Reuben & Cherise
Big River
Sugaree
During setbreak we headed back through the tunnel and thanked Rob and watched them set up the stage from the wings, where I saw Mike again, and decided to ask him what I've wanted to ask him for years: do they actually get any of the mail sent to Phish's P.O. box? He laughed and said that up until 1990, he personally read and responded to every letter, even if there wasn't a question in it. But it began taking 10 hours a week, so he quit altogether. Then he asked why, and I told him about my sweet 16 invitations that I'd sent to the four of them, and how I had a dream where I met him and asked if he'd gotten them, and he'd just walked away. Mike's response: "I wish I would've known about the dream before so that I could've walked away when you asked me, and then, I would've made your dream come true." He's such a chill guy. Before I left, I gave him another hug and kiss and thanked him again. Then I fluttered back to my seat for the second set:
Set 2 with Trey, no Sless:
^Scarlet Begonias>
^Fire On The Mountain>
Space>
Dark Star>
Space>
Feedback>
The Other One>
Stella Blue>
Not Fade Away
E: Donor Rap/Intros
U.S. Blues
I can't even start saying "___________ was so amazing..." because every song was mindblowing. I've never danced harder than I did to the Not Fade Away and US Blues.
That's enough for now. Hope everyone else is feeling great. Hey, how about the sun finally coming out. :o)

Well, the summer is just about here. Two more regents tests and then it's good-bye, junior year. I can't say I'm sad to see it go. The last two weeks really took a lot out of me and I'm just now settling into a normal sleep cycle again.
I've been working more than I probably should be. Since this Monday, I've worked 25 hours, but I'm doing a 7 hour shift tomorrow and a 6 hour shift on sunday. As tiring as it may be, my promotion gave me a little more energy, as well as the absence of school. Not to mention the nice pay checks I recieve...
But I've been feeling very detatched from my friends. The last person I hung out with was Caitlyn, and it was so nice to spend time with a buddy. I just feel like I haven't seen anyone else for weeks. I suppose that'll be remodied this Sunday at my party. It shall be good.
I don't know how I feel about turning 17. I guess it's not really a "landmark" age, but on the other hand, I won't be so scared of cops while I'm driving. It's also my parents' 25th anniversary on the 20th; they're the happiest couple I know. I can only hope that my marriage goes so well (when that time rolls around.)
Lobster and steak dinner tonight- excellent. I best go make the fire.
'Til the next time,

Alright! Updating from Chem class because it's a nice little slot of time to sit and relax. Two tests are done for the day, one to go. I have a nice full weekend ahead of me. Lauren's birthday bananza tonight, and then I depart for D.C. around 4 something AM on Sunday with Eissa. Excellent.
But, hey! Are we all going to see D.S.O. in a couple of weeks? Okay it with your parents, asap, so that we can get tickets.

Overall, it was a great break. I hardly remember much of it- it's not like I drank or did drugs.. it was just lots of good stuff all blurred together. Work? Party? Bonfire? Beach? Swimming? Easter? Great friends? Yeah.
So over Easter dinner tonight, my uncle is talking about nude beaches, and comments on how people never argue because, "Imagine two naked men yelling at each other. It'd just be ridiculous." So my other uncle jumps in with, "Imagine two cannibals having oral sex."
I'm one of my breed. :o)
We played bocci and left dad's and my makeshift court up, so, friends, let's all play bocci soon!
Another "soon"- DSO in the city. Let's get tickets this week... I don't want them to sell out.
I'm leaving for Disney on Friday morning. Yes'ah.
Life is pretty damn okay right now.
Goodnight, all. Enjoy your last day of break.

Okay, guys... it's official. I ordered the Vibes tickets a few minutes ago. August 17th-20th will be another installment of euphoria. Maybe even the 16th, too, if we do a cabin-going day. I'm so so sooo very excited. :o)
I had so much fun tonight. Steph, Kevin, Elise, Lauren, and I went to Country Kitchen to see Mike as the bear, which was frightfully excellent. I was so devastated over the lack of bread bowls, but, whatever, I think some place in Port Jeff serves them year round, so I'll have to venture down there soon.
Tomorrow will be awesome. I love when we don't have school. Life seems so full and joyous. Summer, you're so close.
I miss not seeing Kevin all the time. Oh, Kevin, come to Jr. Prom. Yeah.
Anyway, time to try to relax and get some sleep. Bunny Breakfast thing at the Fire Department tomorrow? Girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do (to get a scholarship for college.)
Lunch with Mr. Shelley on Monday? Hopefully! So excited. I miss that man so much. Caitlyn, Lauren and I will just stare at him with awe the whole time. <3

Okay okay, so Dark Star Orchestra at the Nokia Theater on May 12th and 13th (Friday and Saturday). Let's decide on a day now, get a number of people going, and get the tickets. Yes? Rob will be playing with them, so I can almost guarentee a Shakedown Street. Start asking your parents now!! Vibe Tribe (and whomever else would like to come) must assemble. :o)
Gala last night was AMAZING. It was the first time in a really long while that I've just kind of, let go. I haven't had that much fun in a really long time. The interpretive dancing to all of the band songs was so much fun. I can't wait to see Steph's pictures of that. And Friendly's... haha, oh Michael. I think I'll call him in a few weeks. "Remember me?" Or, I could keep calling, breathing nervously, and hanging up.
These next few months are set up to pretty much own. Oklahoma, Disney, spring break, better weather.. yes'ah. I'm really excited. I can't wait for summer, but these months will be a good lead up. They'll be insane and busy but full of great things.
But now it's time to eat and get some cleaning done and homework and all that great Sunday afternoon jazz.
Get ready for greatness!
Love,
Sun Green
