Super Tuesday
Rachel: I'm still not sure how to register.
Jessie: Hmm...you still have time to think about it?
Rachel: Eh, I guess. I just keep leaning both ways at the same time. WHY CAN'T THERE BE A NORMAL PEOPLE PARTY.
Jessie: WHY CAN'T REGISTERING INDEPENDENT BE REASONABLE. Reasons to move to Europe.
Oh, IB Memes.
I’m sad to say that I’m virtually certain that I’m never going to get anything done again.
But if it’s related to IB, it’s productive…right?

Yippee, hooray, and other excited words
I got my prom dress today. And it is great. I didn’t IMMEDIATELY fall in love with it upon trying it on (though I did like it a lot), but the longer I look at it, the more awesome it is. Furthermore, it has every single quality on my checklist of my perfect prom dress.
I’m very excited.

Naomi in the Morning
Over Facebook chat.
Naomi: Go to bed. Why are you awake?
Rach: Dude, I've been awake since like eight.
Naomi: Why?
Rach: I was cleaning.
Naomi: It's 10:43. 10:43 is bed time. Go to bed!
Rach: AM. It's AM. Not PM.
Naomi: Go make me some toast.
Naomi: Then go to bed.
Rach: What kind of toast?
Naomi: Like cinamon toast!!!!!
Rach: How toasty?
Rach: Only if you come sing the Yeah, Toast song with me.
Naomi: Very toasty
Rach: Okay.
Naomi: Nooo.
Rach: Like burnt?
Naomi: Sorry I'm asleep.
Naomi: Nooooo.
Naomi: Not THAT toasty.
Rach: Then how toasty?
Rach: You're awake.
Naomi: Like a dark gold.
Rach: Okay.
Rach: So what level on the toaster?
Naomi: Nuhuh!!!
Naomi: Uuuuuggghh I'm coming.
Rach: You can't Facebook in your sleep.
Rach: HA your door just opened.
Rach: You're in my room.
Rach: You're telling me to go to bed.
Rach: You're sitting next to me.
Rach: You're reading my chats.
Rach: You're climbing in my door, snatching my people up.
Rach: You're asking if I'm making you toast.
Rach: You're awake.
Naomi is offline.
Rach: You're offline.

Lost a few followers over the past few days. Cool story, Nay. Happens when you post what you want to. I am happier.
Today? Kill ‘em with new stuff. Gain twice as many in a day.
If there’s one piece of advice I can give to those who ask me how I have so many followers it’s: post original stuff. It’s milkshake that brings the followers to the Tumblr-yard, even the lactose...

That whole 10 Things to 10 People thing.
1. Love you. Love love love you. Love you so so so so much! You are my favorite fairy princess :). Or one of my two favorites at least. I would not survive chem labs and math (even though it’s technically 2 classes) without you, and you always make me smile. I can’t wait to go through the rest of IB with you. Because you’re awesome. Oh…and we need to get together and watch...

you feel like you’re losing touch with someone you really care about. You don’t talk as much as you used to, and long conversations that you used to have with them suddenly turn into a polite ‘Hey’ or something. You start keeping certain things from them, you hardly see them, stuff like that. It’s one of the worst feelings in the world. Especially...

Yay Highschool...
Umm okay…I’m pretty sure that psychology teaching me that I can’t trust my own opinions/perceptions, and need to objectively look at the facts to form my opinions+Theory of Knowledge telling me that I can’t trust others, or even my own perception of reality because it’s all relative, but not all truth is relative because that’s a relative statement= I’m...
Day 6
Favorite Super Hero and Why
Oh dear. Ooooh dear. I really don’t have a favorite superhero. I’m not a comic book kind of person, and I don’t want to say ‘Jesus’ because if I do, the song Jesus You’re my Superhero will be stuck in my head all day.
I think I’m gonna have to go with the Crimson Chin. Come on…he’s CRIMSON.
Day 4
A habit that you wish you didn’t have.
I go through phases of phrases…for example, presently I say “You know” WAY too often. I also have bitten my nails since I don’t even know when, but I’m actually starting to work on that (finally). Hooray!
Day 2
The Meaning Behind Your tumblr Name
Reanna and I call each other ‘Rizzle’. There are two of us. So Rizzle Squared.
Day 1
A Recent Picture of You and 15 Interesting Facts
That picture was taken at Wall Drug in Wall, SD.
If I could relive any time of my life it would either be a mission trip or sometime at camp.
I only wear a contact in my left eye.
My sister is 3 weeks away from exactly 2 years younger than I am.
She’s also my best friend.

Readjustment, etc.
Reanna and I have both kind of deserted this…sorry.
Coming back from camp is weird this year. It’s always weird, but I’m living in the present so the last week and a half have seemed weird. I had the usual, “Hey, why are you wearing flip flops to dinner?” for a couple days, I’ve had the random sadness of unpacking, I’ve creeped on Facebook pictures from...

“Home is where the heart is. And my heart is at camp right now. So this is home.”
That’s what one of the wranglers said a couple days ago.
It’s weird to realize that it’s done.

home.
I’m back from Germany! Feels so good to be home, but I miss the group.
Rach gets back tomorrow from camp. So we’ll both be home again. :)
Summer<3

Feels like summertime...
…I never wanna leave this place.
Name that song/the other blog post where I quote it and I’ll give you a cookie. No joke.
Anyway, I’m trying really hard to find the motivation to pack for camp since today is really my only time to do it. But I can’t. Shannon’s present is the coolest thing ever, though!
Instead, I’ve been actually voluntarily practicing piano...
I officially CAN keep a straight face while wearing a fake moustache.

You should probably be jealous.

Update
I told my sister about Old Lady Leary, and now she wants to know the significance of every camp song ever.
In other news, I AM SOOO EXCITED FOR CAMP! (Yes, something changed, but I’m gonna pull a Theners and make you ask why, because it’s too long and confusing to type.)
And I miss my Rizzle :(.
~Rach
The song “Old Lady Leary” is about the Great Chicago fire, with legitimate historical hypotheses linked to the possibility of it being true.
I am flabbergasted.

Pretending to be Deep
Have you ever been so happy that you were a little bit sad, too? I know that sounds kind of weird. But it’s like, smiling until you hurt, or something like that. Only emotionally. Being so happy that it hurts. You know, being with people that you love and having a great time and then just having this thought resounding throughout your head- I am going to miss this. And that affects how you...

Movie Reviews and Morality
Lalala, I’m killing time while waiting for a phone call and not cleaning or packing.
So my mom, sister and I watched ‘The Invention of Lying’ last night. There were most definitely some really funny parts. I liked all the signs a lot. “A quiet place to think abotu the Man in the Sky.” Very honest. However, one thing that bugged me is that instead of just telling the...
Not happy camper.
So the joint in one of my toes was really inflammed last winter, to the point where I couldn ‘t dance for awhile and couldn’t do pointe for over a month.
It’s inflammed again.
I have a performance (ON POINTE!) in a week.
I go to camp the next day, so obviously I can’t be injured.

I feel like I’m on the verge of going deaf and mute. Or I could just be getting tonsillitis. That’s still bad though. I’ve been singing and screaming because I’ve been catching up with all the Jonas stuff I missed during finals and AP and stuff. So now my throat hurts like crazy and I can barely…

Hi, so it’s Rach again.
Just letting you know that tonight was even more exhausting than I imagined.
I do have a funny story about it, though. I’ll type it eventually.

Worryworryworryworry
I’m bored.
So anyway, as you might have guessed from the title, I’m worried. As in not just stressed, but like LEGITIMATELY worried. You want a list of everything? No? Too bad, you get one.
Workshop is tomorrow. (For those of you who don’t know, that’s the end of year dance performance thing, and you should seriously come see it. The info is on my Facebook.) And as...

…and in 3 days I will be on an airplane headed to Chicago, then to London, then to Germany. Then my nice little German family will greet me and take me home to their sweet, warm little German home and it’ll be amazing.
My BFF Meghna and I are randomly on the same flight (but she’s ending up in India)! This is awesome, and we both freaked.
But some news is our flight out of...
Creeperrrrr.
I was informed tonight that random creepy old men can stalk my blog.
Also, apparently I don’t sound like myself on the phone.
And my sister is in high school.

I found an old school notebook from like 8th grade while cleaning tonight. We had to write a definition of ourselves, I guess.
“Rachel-noun (orig. United States)
a person with six different sides:
school
church
dance
camp
home
sad
with different personalities for each side, that never overlap without divine intervention.”
I still kind of like it.
~Rach
tell me you'll remember; forever young.
So, it’s the end of the year and Rach and I are almost officially juniors. Crazy, no? Everyone’s been signing yearbooks and giving people cards and reminiscing. I’m sorry but I’m not a mushy person. I can’t write things that make people cry or sad or anything like that. I’m bad at remembering inside jokes to write in cards. I can’t write little notes that...

Let's rant more about camp.
Finals start in two days. Guess where I am! At my computer in the lab from last year. Long story short, sick teacher=free day. It’s kind of weird to be back here, though, because it feels like nothing’s really changed at all.
For some reason this year reminds me a lot of eighth grade, even though we’ve all grown up since then. I mean, 8th grade was years ago. But it still kind...

Sorry, I’ve been to busy studying/cramming for the AP Gov test that I’m going to fail anyway because our teacher has taught us nothing and now we’re all screwed.
And how are you today?
