Hey y'all.
Well, last I wrote it was Sunday. I haven't done much since then but I've had the weirdest dreams EVER. OK here's the one I had Sunday night to Monday morning.
SUNDAY'S DREAM, PART 1
Me, a family I don't recognize, and Orlando Bloom are swimming naked in this random river. (Great start, isn't it?! ahhh...refreshing...) Suddenly Orlando tells us all to grab this raft in the middle of the river. I touch it, then push off, swimming away. When I come back up he tells me, "I told you to stay there because he's going to set the TOWN on fire!!" Then Geoffrey Rush comes out with a match, grins, and bends down. The sidewalk square in front of him immediately bursts into flame, and it spreads toward Orlando and I. Now clothed, we run down the length of the oceanside city. I am in front of him, and I continually look back at the burning city (and the burning babe). Finally Orlando directs me into a pub. There, I meet Erica, Stephanie, Caitlin, Allison Franson, and two other girls whose faces I never saw. Orlando treated us all to ice cream shakes with different colored ice creams and the shake part under the scoops. They were DELICIOUS. Randomly, Jeff Rabinak walks up and stands next to Orlando, claiming that he's taller and is therefore cooler. Not caring that the fact is true (the taller part, NOT the cooler part!!), Orlando simply states, "Please, step aside," and walks away.
PART 2
The same group of girls and I walk further into the bar into a back room where a karaoke stage is set up. I suggested we sing something, but Allison complained about the size of the screen that showed you the words (it was very small and 6 feet away from the stage). Plus, there were no lists to pick a song from. We decided not to perform.
PART 3
A bunch of random people I don't know are driving away in a car. I'm standing in the foyer of a house watching them out the window. Desparately I look down to find my other black clog so I can catch up. A really hot guy stayed behind too, and was singing a rap on his cell phone to convince them to come back for me. I kept searching for my shoe, which was buried somewhere in a humongous shoe rack that spilled into the closet 3 feet to the right. I found one shoe that looked pretty similar, but it was only the same brand, and not my shoe at all. The guy continued to sing the rap.
PART 4
My sibs Georgia and Carter and I were watching something on our basement TV. The couch was pulled out for the queen-size bed and we were lounging on it. I got up for some reason and headed towards the basement stairs. The hot guy from Part 3 was sitting on one of the lower steps with a preppy-lookin' chick next to him. They started making out and I realized what I was doing; I was holding two hangers, red and white, and I needed to put them in the laundry room. For some reason the door appeared on my right (usually it's around the corner) and I turned to enter. A boy about 17 was dressed in an animal mascot costume: something brown and fuzzy that vaguely resembled a muskrat. He had a girl two inches in front of his face (another prep blondie) and he said quietly, "I don't know how to say this..." I slammed the hangers into his hand (he had the mascot hat and hands off) and shut the door closed right before they started kissing too. I stomped back to the couch and sat against it, fuming; I was really angry that I was the only girl in the basement who didn't have a boyfriend (besides Georgia, and she didn't need one!). A semi-cute guy walked past, and I was hoping he would talk to me, but he didn't. My attempt to look upset failed. SUDDENLY-- All the people from Part 3 (the people in the car) were sitting around a table in the space where I had walked 6 seconds ago. I got up and tried to give them a rhythm lesson so we could put on a show similar to Stomp. Nooo way did I succeed.
THE FINAL PART: 5
All the chickas from Part 2 were back, sitting around the same table. The atmosphere had a beachy feel, and I realized we were right by the ocean now, instead of my basement. Allison stood up on the table in protest to my mom's Bible, which had a plastic covering on it filled with pink seafood meat (salmon, crab? I don't know...). Just before Allison kicked it off the table (which she did), my mom said, "Well, for those of us who aren't vegetarians, we can put meat in our Bible covers."
Then I awoke.
OK, that dream's probably weirder than the one I had last night, but it's pretty odd too (this one only had 3 parts, and they're shorter):
TUESDAY'S DREAM, PART 1
A circle of beds surrounded me. I was in one of them, as was my mom (her bed had curtains around it). The rest were filled with teenage girls... I knew none of the faces that I saw, although I didn't see all of them. A skeleton was sitting on the ground looking at me. It was about the size of a 7-year-old, smaller than any of us, but definitely not from anyone I knew... I picked it up, scared, and threw it to mom. Frustrated, she slammed her curtain shut, but the last image I saw was the skeleton's skull and other bones on her face. Shocked, I stumbled back across the circle to my own bed and fell asleep. In the morning, while I was waking up, I gently pushed away my two blue pillows (the ones I have on my bed, some of you know what I'm talking about). The girls told me they were floating away, and I realized that my part of the circle was on the edge of a very large hot-tub-shaped pool (although the water was still cold). I dove in after them with my long-sleeved silk PJ's. When I had grabbed them, I came back up and said, "Ah, nothing like a morning swim." The girls giggled because they were beginning to jump in, too.
PART 2
I walked up to my bathroom and Jenny was sitting on the edge of my bathtub talking with a guy I didn't know who was sitting on the toilet (lid closed). She was trying to help him work out a date with someone else I didn't know. They succeeded (the girl said yes) and I was happy for him.
PART 3
I was holding 11 or 12 pieces of "gold" (orange circles of hard plastic, like the plastic you get when you melt the beads in Tech at Lincoln JHS). Standing in front of a cafeteria counter I didn't recognize, and already holding my main course (no clue what it was), I wanted to buy juice, dessert, and mashed potatoes. She said I had enough and took some of my money so that I had about 2 coins left. However, once my parents (who were apparently behind me during all of this) walked away to the left towards some tables, and I turned back to get the rest of my lunch, the girl backed away to the back of the counter area with a smug smile on her face. I kept asking for my food, but her evil grin seemed stuck to her face, and, although 1 or 2 other cashiers bustled about behind the counter, she did nothing.
(P.S. There was also something about me being in a school similar to Hogwarts... it was a castle, see, with gray stone walls and blue, uh, flags or banners, one of those.... I was trying to register at the school, maybe... That's all I remember, not enough to constitute as a "Part X" of the dream.)
Yeah, now see, those stories are MUCH more interesting than telling you what I've been doing. Although, some things were GR8!! I slept over at Stephie's, saw POTC for the second time (AHHH! IT WAS JUST AS GOOD!), and ate a Hershey's Chocolate Bar... mmmmmm.... But those stories take the cake.
Oh, guess what I forgot last post? HPS!!!
HPS:::58.045% done
OHHHHH YEAH!!! LOL... I'm on page 505 now. I read tonz at WI and am reading even more now that it's getting even better... wOOt! (Jennu, it looks cooler when you type it cuz your font makes the "OO"s rectangular, but iss ALL GOOD!
LOL-- I talked to Steph abt this earlier this week, and KT abt it today -- homecoming is coming and I'm going to have a date. Both times I talked to them, we wondered who we would take out of our "group" of friends if we had only these certain guys to pick from. It was quite fun. We all picked one, even me... I don't like him, just a friend-type-deal, you know, but I'd still ask him if I have nobody to go with... although I really hope one of THEM asks ME, it's tonzzz more fun that way!!
One last "interesting" fact... I'm saving up for a double-sided Orlando Bloom postah!!!! It has Keira Knightley on the other side, but PPPHTT! WHAT-EV! Poor girl, she'll never see the light of day... Anyway, Vania, I'm making a poster for our locker, so don't you worry about decorating! JK... email me about other celebs you want featured (besides Orlando, he goes unsaid... well, now I just said his name, so he DOES goes said... WHATEV!!). Unfortunate part: $40!!! Not including S&H charges, since it's over the Internet. O well... someday my pirate will come....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
You guys have NO idea how bad I feel abt not updating this for 10 dayz! AHH! BAD CASSIDY!!!!
OK so I went to WI, here is a BRIEF-AS-POSSIBLE synopsis of my vaca. SORRY, IT'S LONG!!! But c'mon, it WAS 6 days!! Here goes...
THURSDAY 7/17
OK so I left Friday, but Thurs. night was hilarious... My mom took us to Colonial for our last Napervillian meal (for a long time). Halfway through our main courses the weather made an immediate switch from beautiful to hideous, and it began pouring rain, like DRENCHING rain!! We all found this out when we had to walk to our car. Or should I say, wade. Yeah; we took off both of our shoes, then WADED entirely across the parking lot to the other side!! Amazing, amazing...
FRIDAY 7/18
(Just to let you know... this was a long day.)
We started the drive to WI at 6:15 AM (arising at 5... yeah). On the radio at 6:37 (this is for you, Jenny!!) they announced they had a word of the day, and then started off on an ad for window clings. They kept talking abt them, and described them for so long I just assumed that that was the WOTD! FINALLY, a literal 5 minutes later (which doesn't sound long but on the radio it is), the male announcer picked up right where he left off; "The WOTD is 'jeremiad'," and listed four definitions and the other announcers guessed which one fit the word. Eventually (after a long, boring guessing session), I found out that "jeremiad" means a cautionary, angry horang (horang = sound). Whatever.
Next we passed some very interesting ads. Here are two good ones:
*One potato, two potato, three potato, pork. The other white meat.*
*It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
And we don't play games. That's why you always win.*
I thought those were pretty good.
OK, best part of the day: (alright, NOT the best part!! Just the funniest:)
My mom planned on driving to Milwaukee and then, SOON after that, finding somewhere to eat. Just to give you an idea: we reached Milwaukee at 9 o'clock. OK? Yeah, just keep that in mind....
So the next exit, the VERY next exit, my mom sees a sign for a home cooking restaurant. We turn it down because all of us, even my mom, wanted to find a Cracker Barrel to eat at (great breakfast place, MMM!). We had recently passed 2, so we figured there'd be one coming up. Well.....
For the next 16 exits... 16!!!.... there was NOWHERE to eat. Then we saw a McDonald's, but it was only 10:45 by now, so we decided to wait... oh man.
By this time we were in all the really small WI towns, so there were small diners everywhere. Each and every one was either deserted, disgustingly dirty, or smelling of varnish. The big joke was that we would complain that we would eat ANYWHERE cuz we were so hungry!!... then we'd get somewhere and BEG to leave. My synopsis: (M=mom, K=kids)
M= "You sure you want to eat here?"
K= "I'm starving!!!"
M= "Smells like paint."
K= "Let's go!" (meaning, let's leave)
And you must remember, we are absolutely exhausted by now. We made ZERO stops at gas stations, really had to pee, and were SOOOO HUNGRY!!!!
AT LAST we reached the town we were supposed to get to!!! We had driven the full 5 1/2 hours without eating breakfast! We continued past the motel we had reservations at, and reached downtown. We ate at the Village Cafe, the restaurant we usually only eat at on Sunday, after the church service. I had the WORST craving EVER for French toast!! I couldn't wait to be seated. The first thing the waitress says is, "Oh, yes... Since it's 11:30, our chefs have just switched over to our lunch menu. Of course, pancakes and omelettes are served all day." Me, desparate: "What about French toast!?" Her: "No, I'm sorry, but pancakes and omelettes are served all day." GRRRRR! I was mad beyond mad, and completely lost my hunger. Well OK, not completely... I split an omelette with my little sis. But still! You can't fry some bread in eggs?! IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!! Much easier than making pancakes, or OMELETTES!!!! ROAR! [large sigh] At least I got a hot chocolate with tonsa whipped cream and chocolate syrup on top (they also add chocolate chips on the bottom... mmmmmmm..).
Went to motel. Met grandparents at motel. Swam for four hours at the motel.
SATURDAY, 7/19
Swam for three hours.
O yeah! And my mom also said I might go to a percussion camp next year with my brother (that's the whole reason we were in WI; we were watching my dad perform at the camp since he had taught there the entire week). I HOPE I GET GOOD ENOUGH TO GO!!! I need to learn vibraphone; I already know steel pans, luckily! A good start, I guess...
SUNDAY, 7/20
After church (during which I had a KILLER sinus headache.. owwww!), we went to Village Cafe and they served us BREAKFAST!!! (after a 10-minute wait. O well; it was WORTH IT!!) I ATE ALLLL MY FRENCH TOAST, 4 SLICES!! YAAAY! haha... (o, and of course I had another hot cocoa... mmmmmm...)
Then the five of us (Mom, Dad, Georgia, Carter, moi) went on a bike ride to Peninsula Park. My mom went too fast on one of the hills and skidded and fell, scraping open her elbow, knee, and hip. There was lots of blood, and it wasn't even her fault! There was a patch of loose gravel there. Suddenly, two bikers coming the opposite way (complaining they were lost) saw us, stopped, gave mom their only water bottle (plastic, half-full), and went back the way they came from. I think they were Mom's guardian angels... you never know. Plus, we never saw them again......
MONDAY, 7/21
We ate breakfast (brunch, really, since we swam another 2 hours) at a restaurant called Al Johnson's. It's a Swedish restaurant; the specialty is Swedish pancakes with syrup and lingonberries.... MMMM! O, and they have goats and grass on the roof. Pretty nifty.
We stopped at a confectionary to get candy. I got half a pound of semi-sweet SnoCaps... ohhhhhh..... And finally we got to my cousins', where my aunt said I grew tonz. Wow, reassure-ment (is that a word?). whoopee.
TUESDAY, 7/22
I checked my email... realized how much I MISSED all of you!!...played U Don't Kno Jack (hard game!! well, the movie version is hard, anyway)...bounce-bounce-bounced on a trampoline...worked on making my bracelets...played cards... played Monopoly... and watched vh1. Yay!
WEDNESDAY, 7/23
Ate a chocolate muffin, came home... YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!
OK, and then Thurs. was sitting around, Fri. was Erica's b-day bash, Sat. was babysitting for my sibs during the day and other kids in the evening, and today, Sunday, was working at my church picnic. Fun.
Now I gotta go, my brother is board! (Yay Caitlin!) Then I'm going to spend time with Caitlin and Steph, two o'my bestest buds evah!; going to see
P-I-R-A-T-E-S!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Love2all, thanks for checking this site again! I PROMISE I'll be more faithful now that I'm back in the state!
Always, <+> Cass
You guys have NO idea how bad I feel abt not updating this for 10 dayz! AHH! BAD CASSIDY!!!!

Hey all!!
Today was actually eventful. I'll try to go chronologically (wow, special word) but no promises...
OK so I am woken up at 9 am for my viola lesson (go figure; the night you go to bed late, you are woken up... but w/e). My teacher tells me I am quote, "quite good", which is always amusing because the weeks I never practice he compliments me. But ya know, that's how this world works, rite?
OK so then I water for mom, practice piano... bla, dee bla, dee bla. Then I sit down to lunch w/my sister and suddenly something struck me.
I was watching this really bad movie called the Borrowers. It's about little people who "borrow" stuff from "beans" which means, humans. (human beings, beans, get it? Yeah...) It was very lame, but I realized that Peagreen Clock (what a great name, huh? <-- dripping with sarcasm) looked and sounded incredibly, INCREDIBLY familiar.. and suddenly I realized, abt halfway thru the movie, that it was TOM FELTON!!! Ya kno, the guy who plays DRACO MALFOY in Harry Potter!!! AHHH! It was soooo amazing, I felt soooo intelligent, which NEVER happens during the summer!!! Of course I had to check to make sure I was right, so I looked online and sure enough, a search for "tom felton" gave me a website listing that was entitled, "tom felton, aka draco malfoy, offical website". haha!! I felt so smart.
When the bad movie ended, I took my sister to the pool. Yes, I do wear a bikini, and all I wear over it is shorts, no shirt. OK so I'm walking to the pool and there's an African American guy like 17 maybe, teaching tennis lessons to this 11-yr old girl. I start walking past the fence and all of a sudden a tennis ball smacks against it, and out of the corner of my eye I saw him swing the racquet. It was a good way to get me to look at him, cuz it worked, and he looked nice, but I was going to swim, not talk, because a) that's what I came for, and I was not going to have my sister just stand there for a while; b) do I know this person? and c) he was teaching someone! I am not one to interrupt little kids' lessons. So there I was. OK, this is hit #1. Just remember that.
So I swim, good times. Get home, eat Chinese and watch "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"... or at least, 50 minutes of it. Then ERICA ARRIVES!!! Here's where the fun really starts......
So we get all primped and cute-lookin' for the .... library?! O yeah, you know those male librarians... JK!! It was karaoke nite, so I thought it would be "fun" -- O, and it was!! OK so we walk around first; we look at romance novels, browsed on the computer, and finally went to a desk to ask for directions to the community room. She gave us the directions, and when I at last thought we could escape she goes "Karaoke, huh?" Erica of course, walks rite by like she doesn't know me (lol she did that on purpose, wink!)!! It was soo funny.
So we're finally at the door, and Erica, amazing wonderful magical Erica, decides she wants to quote "fake her embarrassment for attention" (she was really embarrassed "because of the old people in there", another quote! LOL). So I spent 10 minutes reading the document on the wall about lowering mercury counts in the library. Um, yeah. Finally she said, "OK, one song, Rock'n'Roll, and then we can go?" And I said, "One song." We waited for the 300 minute song, A Thousand Miles, to end so we could enter. At last, we did.
So we walk in and some random girl handed us packets to pick out a song. We paged through and there it was, the Joan Jette version of I Love Rock'n'Roll. After a little while we told him we wanted to sing it, and around 10 minutes later he called us up.
It was amazing; I did my "ow" and all!! Erie was soo brave, she did it! Yay... it was one of her summer goals: "sing in front of people I don't know". I guess it was worth it just for that, or maybe for what happened next...
BOYZ!!!!! BOYZ BOYZ BOYZ... From 8 to 9 we "stalked" all the cute boys in Naperville that were available at the time. At one point (8:40) we seriously chased two of them who were especially cute, wearing orange and navy blue shirts. Unfortunately, we lost the trail due to checking the time we were gonna be picked up. Of course, we found them later; the one in orange walked away with a girl (grrr, that's the one we both wanted) and the blue one got lost. But we still had an amazing time with each other.
We walked around the Riverwalk for one whole hour, stopping only in: Gap for clothes shopping and perfume sampling, Starbucks for Erie's Mocha Malt Frappucino (however you spell that, I am not a coffee-drinker... I hear it stunts your growth and with my height I'm not risking it...) and my hot cocoa, and finally a bench by the weirdo fountain where we had a brush with death...
OK not really, but close. Erica met the eyes of a creepy guy in a yellow polo. She smiled friendly, and he smiled creepily back and started walking over to the empty seat next to me. Erica immediately whispered, "Let's go, let's go" and pulled me up up and away. I had no idea what was going on but have faith in her, so I stood and followed. She told me what was going on later and I'm glad she saved me!
So now we are home, checking out mercyseat's website (new band; the guitarist handed us fliers... o yeah...), doing each other's hair and back-massages, and hopefully watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days very shortly!!! (after all, I never finished it!!!!)
O, almost 4got...
HPS:::11.264%
And here are more inside jokes:
"wha-BAM!"
"get your hands off your boobs, orange man!"
"subject: mstirtz!"
"very verry it's-all-good, woohoo fun-timez LIFE!"
"1-800-fultonfunding"
And not all of those were from Jenny's house, either! So yay for me, I am expanding my horizons.... whatever.
Love y'all, two more days to WI...

Sry, four that I forgot:
"Ahh, I swallowed a bug!" [minutes] "What, did you swallow another one? You should've had more HAM if you wanted more protein!!"
C = Cass, J = Jenny, K = Kelsey
C: "We should be Charlie's Angels!" J: "Drew Barrymore!" C: "No, I call her!" J: "OK... Cameron Diaz!" K: "Great, I wanted to be Lucy Liu! I've got the straight hair." J: "And I'm blonde on the inside! YAY!" C: "Well... Drew Barrymore's the shortest."
"Does this doll have implants?! Babies are NOT supposed to have that much hair!!...Wait, that sounded bad!!! [hysterical laughter from all 4 people in the room]"
"We have cups you can use. We don't drink out of bowls in this house!" "....we do."
O, and two quick things:
Jenny, Kelsey is SOOO COOL! KELS, I LOVE YOU!!! We must get 2gether more. I think Kelsey is sooo much fun to be around, and she's sweet and nice! I think we could become GREAT friends. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE STAYING IN ILLINOIS!!!!!
Erica: My mom said it's a go for tmro nite at the library!! I'll call you tmro afternoon!
Lotsa luv to all, and KUDOS for ppl who read all that and did not understand it. You win a gold STAR!

Wow that was the best 4 hours of the week... here are all the lovely inside jokes I remember... (in no particular order; I wanted to try chronological but I don't think they'll come out that way!):
"I don't know you but I feel like I do, so - HUG!"
"OMGIhaveoneofthosebraceletstooIgotitformybirthdayfrommyfriendCaitlinshegavemecharmswithcakeandicecreamandIboughtanAmericanflagjustlikethatoneandalsogotadanglingseparatestarthingwithadiamondcrystalinit... OK I'm done."
"RUN! My mom is mad and we need to get home NOW!" "I have cramps, Cassidy, wait for me!" "Ow, I stepped in a weed!"
"I like guys with hair that's dark and wet.. A sprinkler! Now I'll get nice and wet for my boy....!!"
"They came to my house and bugged me, so now I'm coming to their house to bug them..."
"Fat!!! Why is she allowed to be in a bikini?! EWWWWW!" "What accent is that?!"
"Hey you kids, cut that out!" - line from Lizzie McGuire, er, Little Mermaid... ?! "Hey you Jenny, you RUA-"
"'Whoa!' Cassidy cried as a piece of ham from Jenny's mouth flew past her ear...!"
"NO ASTHMA ATTACKS!!! I'M SORRY JENNY!!"
"There's only one cookie left" "It's mine, I bought them, with my money, my own money, give it to me!"
"Wait... the CD, that's what we came for. Run! Go go go GO!!!" "[Exhale from Cass as she lands on the bed w/a thump]"
"I'm bad at roundoff's... I'll do a cartwheel going the opposite way!"
YAAAAAY for good times! That was so much fun... I'll add more later when I think of them! And for all of you who aren't Jenny, Kelsey, or Erica... SORRY! This next part's for you:
HPS:::9.080% done
LOL I didn't get very far from yesterday, I was soooo busy today!!
People always want what they can't have. You wish for winter in August and spring in January. People with long hair want short hair b/c you get so sweaty, and people with short hair want long hair b/c they "can't do anything with it". And finally, when school is in session, you long DESPERATELY for summer, and when summer's here.... well, you do chores all day, are never home for a break, and don't see any of your school friends until late August. Kinda confusing, but most of u know what I mean.
Well, love2all, I have to get reddy for bed. And I'll clean my teeth... Jenny and Kels: SPARKLE! LOL or rambunctious (Jenny, make that the word of the day tmro!! Or... Africanaphobia!! AHHH! That's another one!! hahaha...

OMG sorry i didnt post yesterday, guyz!!
Jenny you need to get a life girl, why bother w/those 300 question surveys when you can spend 2 hours of your life gazing at Orlando Bloom in a movie theatre? HAHA! And that goes for all the rest of you too.... JK!!!!! I love you all and I will not force you to go to see Pirates w/me! But if you want to... 848-1726!
OK to make things shorter I will abbrev from now on in all my entries: HPS means my Harry Potter Status, which will tell you what percentage of the book I have finished. I'm on 5 now, finally! And wow, it gets sooo suspenseful in CHAPTER 1!! I was amazed. O and Caitlin, thanx for telling me who dies! LOL JK!!!! Completely my fault. Anywayz...
HPS:::8.275%
I'll be leaving for WI on Friday, peeps, so I won't be able to put up messages for a while -- tear! I would bring you all back the highly coveted souvenir known as cheese curds but I don't think they'd make the trip. Ah well, u will have to survive.
The only eventful thing that happened yesterday was when I hung out w/Caitlin. We bounced on her neighbors trampoline and went from attempting to do flips (and Caitlin attempting to teach me, thanx babe!!) to talking abt life: parents, friends, change, skool... It was pretty cool. KT u know, heaven! haha... thanks.
I'm getting a zit on my chin that is the size of a ping pong ball, some1 help! Well JK... it's not that big YET but I'm going to a dermatologist in like 2 weeks so we'll see what can be helped.
Love to all -- I must go finish my so-much-fun chores.....<+> Cass

And Sunday's supposed to be your day of rest.
It began with church. I ran the slides this morning, which means the song lyrics saved as a Powerpoint document are put up onto the projector screen by me. Yeah, that is always thrilling cuz you make at least 2 mistakes that you beat yourself up for afterwards. Wahoo.
Then my family went to Portillo's, where the best hot dog in the world seemed to disappear too quickly. I finished my fries, moved on to my soda, and when all the food around me was gone I asked my brother for the chocolate shake he didn't want. I finished all of that, too.
Then... BORDERS FOR MY HP!!!!!! Wow the 5th book has the greatest color scheme: blue and black. I love it soooo much and I'm only on pg 24!! (BTW, out of 870 pages that is 2.758% of the way done!! LOL!!!!)
Solitaire... swimming pool (where I discovered I need to work on my front flip and my backdive)... Giordano's deep dish pizza (sausage... mmmm)... and finally, South Pacific the musical. That was refreshing; Technicolor at its best. Ah.
So! here I am. It's been an amazing day. Hopefully I'll be going out to Pirates again Tuesday w/Jenny. Again, if NEbody wants to go just email or call, ur welcome!
Love yas ~ <+> Cass

Wow, what a week.
Most Saturdays at 10:30 in the morning I'd be chillin in bed, reading my HP. However I am behind the other 7 billion ppl on Earth, and I was reading #4. I finished last nite and Mom says she's gonna buy me #5 today, so as of now I am board (lol Caitlin). So, starting my own website looked pretty appealing.
Watch out world, Cassidy's on the web! I couldn't help but notice that everyone else on the planet had a blogspot address -- now I know why!!
OMG OMG OMG:: favorite movie of all time is now Pirates of the Caribbean!!! Johnny Depp is amazing, so was Keira Knightley, I was impressed. But Orlando takes the cake, OMG he is so HOT!!! In a notebook some of my friends and I pass around I started a chart asking the girls how hot they thought he was in that movie. I was the only one who put "desirable", altho he got a couple "sexy"s and some "hot"s. But oh man, if there was ever a bigger motivation for my becoming an actress, I do not know of it.
Well I'd better make sure this thing works. I'll type again later... love to all.

I was the only one who put "desirable", altho he got a couple "sexy"s and some "hot"s. But oh man, if there was ever a bigger motivation for my becoming an actress, I do not know of it.
Well I'd better make sure this thing works. I'll type again later... love to all.
