Ben and Jerry no longer
The Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream fully supports gay people and has Hubby Hubby ice cream, so Lue and I are boycotting them. Our mallets are now named Orville and Redenbacher. Not as catchy, but also not gay, so all is well. Thank you for your attention.
Homecoming
Daniel Edmondson asked me to homecoming. :) He left a scrapbook page in each of my classes, each of which had a word of the sentence "Will you go to homecoming with me?" And then he gave me a scrapbook to put them all in. Cute. :) For homecoming, Maren so kindly did my hair, Mom rushed to finish my dress (she was up until 430 in the morning. I have guilt!!), and I did my makeup. My dress is fantabulistic. Mom is so amazing. 
After mucho picturos, we and our group of seven couples or so went to the Fukuda tepanyaki place on Sunset for dinner. That was very fun as well. Our chef was intense. We left there a little later than planned and went to the dance, where we spent our entire time waiting for pictures. Ha. Fun stuff. Daniel and I got two pictures. I'm posting them, so feel free to enjoy. :P
After the picture taking (two couples left our group, but that's not important to the story), we went outside and got on our party bus!! A party bus!! I'd never been on one before. It is sized like a small motorhome. The interior has the driver's seat and passenger seat sectioned off, like in our motorhome. The rest of the bus is pretty nifty. The perimeter of the thing has leather couches and drink coolers and cup holder and glasses. The center of it is a small dance floor. :D There are some handle bars on the ceiling so we didn't all die whenever the driver put on his breaks. We went down to Fremont street. It was interesting. Kind of crowded, but the lights on the ceiling were cool. After 20 minutes, we got back on our bus and headed back to town. There, we changed into more comfortable clothing, and headed down to Veterans Park, where Shano's dad (Shane Peterson) had so kindly set up a projector and DVD player for us. We started watching The Sandlot but then the sprinklers turned on and the battery that was running the electronic started beeping at us. :P So we moved this party to my house. Daniel and I made brownies while people finished the movie. After the movie and snacks, everyone went home. Homecoming was really fun. :D I had awesome, painful shoes. :)

Ben, Jerry, and Daniel Eugene Edmondson
This blog is about very important figures in my life. First off: Ben and Jerry. Not the ice cream makers (though ice cream is very important as well), but the two mallets given faces by Lue and names by me. Jerry's full name is Jerry the Mallet O' Smiling Death. Ben's full name is Ben the Mallet O' Impending Doom. 
Ben and Jerry are friends, tend to be perhaps a wee bit violent at times, but are overall fun and entertaining sidekicks. And yes, I'm personifying two mallets. The kind you hit drums with. I got Jerry first, though he did not begin as Jerry. 
He was given to me by my band teacher after: I sang in choir this year, though I wasn't in the class. While waiting for the bus to go to festival, the rest of the choir was looking on the west side of the band room to see when the bus came. It ended up coming on the south side, where I was. I told them the bus was here, but they were apparently ignoring me, or just didn't hear me. So I grabbed a drum mallet and whacked a bass drum and yelled, "BUS!!!" My teacher thought it was hilarious and gave me the mallet. Lue decorated him for me, and then she wanted one too. So we came, begged, and eventually got the other mallet buddy. And thus it began. They went with us to Disneyland and school and anywhere we wanted. 
One time Jerry was kidnapped for a week. I think that was the saddest week of my Junior year--well not really, but I was sad.
Daniel Eugene Edmondson: volunteers at the hospital twice a week; runs a teen service organization that he founded named TAC (Teens Actively Contributing); was Spanish student of the quarter for two quarters; looked like Zac Efron, but then he cut his hair so not so much (he greatly dislikes the Zac Efron comparison :P); loves serving people; got the Nevada High School Prudential Spirit of Community Award (which is a service award. He got to go back to D.C. for a weekend for it, and only one high school and one middle school student get chosen from each state. Daniel won that this year AND he won it his eighth grade year. He just loves serving people); he got the Harvard Golden Book award, or something like that; he's in line for high school Valedictorian (did I spell that right?); he runs track and cross country (dang crazy people who run); and he loves acting. So pretty much he is amazing. We've been going out for about five mont

So yea. That's Daniel, Ben, and Jerry for ya!

MY FACE HURTS *warning this post is kind of gross*
I got my wisdom teeth out two days ago. It was so weird. I was just numbed up, so I could feel and hear what they were doing to my poor, innocent wisdom teeth. It didn't freak me out too much then, but thinking back on it is gross. First, I could hear them sawing at my tooth. You know the sound of an motorized saw and how it goes up in pitch when it cuts into something? Yea, I heard that...in my mouth. Then: "You're going to hear a crack," Uncle Danny would inform me, and indeed, there it was. One half of one tooth gone. eeek. The pulling to extract the other half of my tooth was fine, expected. But THEN, oh my goodness, they got out a hammer and chisel. Since, Danny informed me, they could not easily see the top two wisdom teeth, they had to go at them the caveman way: with a hammer and chisel. Yea, the same tools that are used to enrave into stone. Danny would position the chisel in my mouth: "Tap, Tap" he'd say; Thwak, Thwak I'd hear, and my head reverberated. Needless to say, after that, I was a bit shaken. My leg was quakin'. And I was achin'. :( ( ;P )
Anyway, this post is way too long, and it's just me relating my trying but necessary extraction. Thank you, Uncle Danny, for taking time to call and check up on me, and for making my surgery bearable by being funny, and singing Oh-SO wonderfully. I feel much better now (I only take 3 ibuprofin instead of that other stuff) and though my cheeks are pretty ginormous, I'll live. With big cheeks, I look like Lindsay's baby Daniel. 
Anyway, I was way numbed up, so it didn't hurt a ton yet. I just held some ice on my face while Mom showed Danny how to look at blogs (I was reminded of the cliche "the blind leading the blind;" though I don't REALLY think they are blind when it comes to technology. Just a little visually impaired. :P) When we finally got home, I slept...a lot. I couldn't swallow my saliva so I had to drool on myself (well, on some paper towels); It was gross AND my pain killer made me really naseous: I'd move an inch and my head throbed. That first day was no fun. I couldn't keep food down, and my face hurt.

But while I've been just lying around, I read Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. It was pretty intense. I recommend it if you just want a easy-to-read but entertaining book. I enjoy Agatha Christie books because they're simple yet have this nifty plot and usually involve a psycho killer who doesn't seem psycho until they reveal themselves. You never see it coming!!!! Anyway, this is my long post. I hope it didn't gross you out. ;)

oh...
So I have no idea what I'm doing. Is having a blog or a facebook better? Or should I just stay annonymous and not post my thoughts on the internet? I'm not sure, but my fam has blogs, so bring it! This is my first blog. I took an AP test today, and I will take another one tomorrow. Oh joy. I spilt hot chocolate on myself...twice...once on my white sweatshirt...and once on my white shirt. yay. Anyway, school is almost done for my junior year. It is so weird. I'm just rambling. Bye.
