Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh

I can't stop listening to Bright Eyes, it's just too amazing to not listen to.

It's once again been well over a month since I've updated and I'm sure you're all just so relieved to see that there is indeed a new post.

What you may ask has been going on in my life since August the 2nd? Well I'll tell you since you asked so nicely. I started my senior year of high school on the 17th of August and while I'm ready to graduate and move on to bigger and better things I'm also anxious about leaving home. I wonder if I'm really ready or if it'll all just blow up in my face soon after I leave.

The Friday before school started my dad's retina detached, that was not a fun experience. I had to take him to the hospital that night for emergency surgery that night and then he was down for a little over two weeks recovering from that. It was a tad stressful being the only one who could drive or really do anything outside the house. Though he wasn't allowed to read or do anything on the computer. He started watching a lot of T.V. and that's how he got both of us hooked on Mad Men.

Let me just say that I love this show. I love the characters, the story line, the actors and most especially the clothes. I love how they stay true to the way things were in the 60's. Kids riding in the car with no seat belts let alone car seats, as well as mixing drinks for their parents and running around with dry cleaning bags over their heads. :)

The clothes are awesome and while I don't think I could always wear something to make my skirts fluffier all the time it would be fun to dress like that for a while.

I went to homecoming this past Saturday, and while my date was a total dud. Ignoring me for the most part for his friends and just in general not talking to me, I had a good time. Thank goodness for big groups of friends and Tiffany and Bridger. I felt kinda bad because they came to the dance together but I think I dance with Bridger more than Tiffany did. But it was great to get to know both of them a little better and I had a lot of fun hanging out with them. I think I made a little bit of a fool of myself at the dance but hey I had fun and I think that's all that matters.

My dress was way cute and cost like 10 dollars (thank goodness for thrift shops) and my hair was amazing and took so little time to do. If I can find the pictures on my dad's computer I'll put them up on here.


My date's name was Scott and I doubt I will ever see him again thank goodness. Pretty sucky first date (pathetic that I have to wait till my senior year of high school to go on my first date) but it was a great first high school dance, it'll probably be my last as well but at least I'll be able to say I've been to one.

I've been home sick today which hasn't been fun at all. I was up most of the night paying tribute to the porcelain alter. I'm staying away from chicken in garlic sauce for a while.
