This is Jordan Maben

He is a musical genius, and I'm not just saying that. He is in orchestra, plays piano, and various string instruments too. He composed a song; so me and my girlfriends demanded he play it for us. I wish I had a better camera on my phone because it only would record 30 second parts, and the sound quality is shit. But here are two parts. My four friends and I were literally brought to tears while he played.



In short; I love my friends.

Run away

So this is a first. I actually ran my most recent ex boyfriend out of the state! I want to be proud, but can't. My mother has denied me when I asked her to take me to the Tigers game on my birthday. Oh well.
My hair is brown. I get new classes tomorrow. I bought a new dress. And I have some semi-decent friends. Everything will be fine.

Well This Week Is Just Peachy

Yes, finals are going horribly, and I may end up with a C, two D's, and three A's on my report card. I ran out of gas, and don't get paid till Friday. The reality of college kicked in today when I visited U of M-Dearborn. And the year isn't even half way over.
To add to this week or wonderfulness, I am now single, which I can't say is a horrible thing. So I refuse to let that ruin my week.
My social life is currently hanging by a thread, because no one really wants to hang out anymore.
And! I found out no one will take me to the Tigers V. Chicago White Sox game on my birthday /:

Someone must take me, I demand it.
But here are the classes I am ending my high school career with:

• Lit. Appreciation
• Research Techniques
• Statistics
• Physics
• Sociology
  
• Community Service
  

New room.

Tomorrow is the first of a few steps to turning my room from "So high school" to something new, and a little more classy. My room currently consist of a mattress on a box spring, a black bookcase with shelves that are drooping because of the overbearing weight of books and movies, a brown and wide five drawer dresser, and a small white table holding up my new flat screen.
Now, my room looks horrible around this new flat screen TV. So I am finally getting all matching furniture.
Here's what I am probably getting.

Bring it on, but stop after the sequel.

Bring It On, many people look down on this movie, but not I. At this very moment, I am actually watching the end, and eating a Big Mac (: This movie was, and still is a very good movie for it's particular storyline. Two rival teams face off, but in the end, the underprivileged team from the hood win.
This is also a great example of a movie franchise going too far.
Bring It On was followed by direct-to-film movies, Bring It On Again in 2004, Bring It On: All or Nothing in 2006, Bring It On: In It to Win It in 2007 and Bring It On: Fight to the Finish.
I can stomach half of Bring It On Again. But I feel sorry for Hayden Panettiere, because I am sure Bring It On: All of Nothing was a far step down from her inspirational role in Remember the Titans.
Although I have not seen the last two installments of the movies, I noticed a trend in majority of the films, and maybe this is what draws in those few viewers.
So here is the question I leave you with; why is it that whenever cheerleaders duel, it's between the white blond girls, and the hood-like black girls?

Coming home

This years Coming Home theme is Circus Circus, and I have decided to vear away from the average knee length dress and silver dress heals.
How about a mid-thigh long, bright red, $11 dress from Forever 21, with some black leather ankle boots. Finished off with a high waisted belt of course!
The only mistake I made with this asamble, is, I tried it on without taking my pants off... So I didn't really see how short it was. So black shorts will be required under my fabulous dress.
Shannon is wearing a black shirt, red tie. We will be the hottest couple there! Well, maybe not, but at least in my group of friends.
Last year, I skipped coming home. Mainly because none of my friends were going, but also because I had a prom dress to pay off. This year; however, is different. My friends and I feel an obligation to go, even those who never go to dances, to go to Coming Home and prom this year, since it is our final ones.
Time to get to sleep, and a wonderful day of school in the morning and work at night. Ugh.
