Announcement for anyone who reads this (simmons girls included)::
OK, as you guys may know, or may not know, last year I did a team for the walk to cure diabetes.
It was in memory of my aunt who passed away last summer after complications from a long batttle with diabetes.
But don't let that be a downer! The walk is really fun, you get free stuff, and you get to meet my friends from school!
Even though I'm not at NRHS anymore, if you still are or if you are going to college nearby, or you live nearby, join my team! You can get about 5 hours of community service and any walk supervisor will sign you off for community service hours too if you bring your sheets.
It's October 1st, along the Charles River in Boston, and if you are interested you can hit up your friends/family/neighbors to sponsor you.
You can register online now (choose "Team Flamingo" as your team and "Amy Eicher" as the team captain) if you're interested or IM me (flamingopnk) if you have any questions.
P.S. As I head off to school, I wanted a fresh start in the world of live journal and I have made a new one: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) amyinrevolt It's friends only, and just because you're on here doesn't mean I'll add you again automatically, leave me a comment there. I'll add you automatically if you join my walk to cure diabetes team though!! amyinrevolt amyinrevolt amyinrevolt amyinrevolt amyinrevolt

john mayer is really expensive.
i just bought a ticket to see the john mayer trio at avalon in october and it was about fifty dollars.
if you'll be around boston this fall and you want to go with me, go to ticketmaster.com or teapartyconcerts.com and buy a ticket. it's general admission.
also, nashville was cool. i really wish i got to see justin and anna and ellie more.
my summer has been really boring so if yours has too, give me a call. i haven't seen anyone and it's completely my fault but i don't care as much as i probably should.
i can't wait until september 4th. i never thought i would count down the days for summer to be over...

so it's july already. wow.
so far i've had a very busy summer.
i had orientation and it was fabulous. i met some excellent girls that i am excited to hang out with in the fall! i miss you girls already!
i've been working a lot.
this past week was VBS and sports camp at church. it was exhausting but fun. i love all those kids.
good times: "oh i'm sorry, i thought you were brad pitt", "no dogs may sept??", "we're debating two things here: is this a coaster and how old is he?!?!", "do you want a riiiide?"

i really love my new job at bertucci's. the people are cool, it's exciting, the time goes by fast, and the money opportunities are pretty sweet.
i am so glad this whole high school business is almost over. i am quite sick of it all.
i have one week of classes left, one week of finals, senior week, then i graduate. yesss.
i think i am having my graduation party on sunday june 25 at 2-ish. i'm not sending out invitations to my friends because i have a huge family and that's just too much paper so let me know if you would like to come.
friday night was cool. not because i went to see some high school kids play shows, because i was actually kind of bored during that, but because i had a picnic of bertucci's with amanda, jackie, and ryan in amanda's driveway. we are all portuguese/azorean so that's pretty sweet.
this is what an azorean meal get-together looks like (supposedly, according to google):
this is how lovely the azores are:

the disney trip was excellent!!! i spent about an hour uploading pictures into webshots but then my account was full :( tragic....
my group and miss gauthier got to see the red sox at the airport and it was amazing. it's a good story-- ask me if you want to hear it all.
some of the highlights of the trip were the super room, morrocan food, being extras in indiana jones with lynsey, lots of cool rides and 3D shows, playing trivia on the plane, getting thisclose to the hotseat for who wants to be a millionaire, a crazy foam party with laura, free coke with lime, and genuinely enjoying the company of most of my senior class and chaperones. i just didn't like waiting for people but it was still awesome.
today i found out that stupid dandi-lyons wants me to work at 5 AM on mother's day. that. sucks. royally. i have told my manager that i can't work sunday mornings because of church... nice of her. at least i have orientation at bertucci's on wednesday. and little shop! then retreat this weekend which should be cool except now i can't mooch sox tickets off of dave.
since i won't be patient enough to upload pictures for a while... here are a couple to tide you over.
blurry johnny damon!!!!
rooomies who saw him with me!! ellen, lynsey, me, erica.

it's been awhile...
anyways i had a good vacation. i went to DC, i stayed overnight at simmons with katie, i went to garrett's birthday party, i ate cake with tara and matty, and was pretty busy. i didn't get to see very many people over vacation but i was doing something all the time it seemed.
i am extremely excited for simmons next year. my level of excitement is borderline geeky. i made an lj community for the class of 2009 and i have talked to a lot of awesome people from it. i can totally see myself being friends and hanging out with these girls. everyone seems as enthusiastic as me and it's really nice to know that i've found where i am supposed to be.
i'm in a very cranky mood today... but i leave for florida tommorrow so i am sure that will be changed soon.

the caliber of intelligence in my civics and gov class never ceases to amaze me. dr. saul had to say the title quote to someone in my class... good times.
just in case though, we should keep condi away from my brother's family because... i'm going to be an aunt again!! my sister-in-law, anna, is having another baby and i am very excited. she is three months along so the baby is due in october. not only is that my birthday month but mrs. ferderline is having her baby then too! (that's britney spears to you common folk.) gee whiz that is probably the best part of all... except not.
well, she may not be a girl... but she's a woman now.

i haven't updated in a million years.
since that time: i have gotten into emerson, performed in guys and dolls (which was a lot of fun and i will miss but am ready to move on), been pepperonied and had my cake stolen by little JP, joined a gym, and hunted for a summer job.
i also had an amazing day yesterday with mollllly! we went to boston and watched the society for creative ananchronism do some medievel reenactment on boston common. we took our picture with a wicked cool guy and met another simmons class of 2009 chick. supposedly i haven't decided where i am going yet but simmons is probably it. anyways, we went to newbury street and ogled expensive items that we couldn't have. we found a cool band called eisenhower... we ate pizza at the pru, and had some transportation issues, but an altogether awesome time. then we met up with laura and lindsay back in NR and wreaked havoc.
i loved spring because it's making me in a good mood again. i was kind of cranky in winter but now i don't hate everyone and everything.. haha. ali must be a prophet of school knowledge because she left me a comment on how everything woud get better and it pretty much did. now i just need a prom date, but mr. mac said he would find me one. sketch...

i'm in environmental science right now waiting to go to an assembly.
yesterday i got into gordon! they sent me a bumper sticker. sweet. so far i've gotten into every school except for emerson who i'm still waiting on. it's cool but it makes decisions harder even though i love simmons. a lot. i hope i get some good financial aid packages in the mail soon.
also yesterday i went to lexington to get the dar (daughters of the american revolution) good citizen award. it's kind of an odd old-fashioned organization but it's still a nice honor and it was a cool little event. they are going to give me a flag that flew over the capitol.
i was kind of sick of the musical, and i am sad that i can't go on foreign exchange field trips because of it, but it's starting to get more fun. cuzzy and i like to think of funny room raiders scenarios and kaite and i tried to figure out brown bread in a can. good times.
i just read the play m. butterfly for ap english and it was really good. definately the best thing i've had to read for class all year. hopefully whatever question i get on the ap test i can use that play for because i feel more confident writing about something that i like.
yesterday i was standing in the lobby of school and i opened the front door and got hit by a snowball. that brett molhan is a trouble maker! it was a little hilarious though.

there are ten of the exact same posts on my friends page. no exaggeration...
i know i am guilty of re-posting quizzes and surveys and all that jazz, but this excess has turned me off of that for awhile.
to all of you: no offense and yes, i remember that time when it was really fun and we all laughed and hugged!
i stayed home sick from school today. i feel better now thanks.
i also got into northeastern today. sweet.

cambridge with annie this weekend was super fun.
i got my favorite pizza from crazy dough and went to planet aid, oona's, and the garment district. i also got almond hot cocoa at tealuxe. i got a red bangle and a han solo pin and a lacy 1950s dress. we also bought records to make bowls and i made some and they are sweet. no prom dress :( but it was still fun and i love that girl to bits.
burning cds with laura and kathryn was fun too, but playing the babysitter's mystery game was better. dawn and i are practically the same person. i got sick from delicious pretzels though.
church was funny with intense youth group games... oh man.
this week should be okay even though i am sickish. wednesday is a half day AND i'm doing a focus group thing for gordon college for dan AND i have small group.

things have been a little bit sweeter lately.
i got my license. i actually like driving a lot now. i drove allie, collyn, and kathryn around the other night and it was fun.
i went to salisbury beach with james and jeff. it was nice because i hadn't hung out with them in awhile and i love those boys and we got harmonicas and saw my old house in byfield.
i went to simmons on saturday for an accepted students thing and it was awesome. i love that place a lot and the student panel was so helpful and i met some really cool girls, people that i could see myself hanging out with. i also decided that i want to do crew if i go there so i need to get pretty jacked before fall.
the snow ruined my day today. i was supposed to go vintage prom shopping in boston with annie and i was excited. alas, the snow foiled our plans and we have to wait until march 5th when we are both free. i really want to go to boston this vacation though so if you'd like to go with me, leave comments.
prom dress shopping is fun. prom date shopping is not. it stresses me out even in february that i have no idea who to go with. oh well, i have til june..
( go away snow! )

so i officially hate high school now.
it's kind of sad because i used to like it a lot.
and i don't mean i just hate school. it's the whole high school mentality.
blah... when did i become a cynic?
( a small town is like a small stage )
but things aren't all bad. vacation is next week. small group is tomorrow. i had a really cute driving instructor on sunday.
don't worry. my inner optimist is still there.

This weekend was very chill.
I did nothing besides work, fundraise, watch Ray and Little Women with my family, and go to church.
I didn't do anything "social" (unless you count fundraising with Kathryn and going to church) and no one called (besides KT acorn of course). But I didn't care. I didn't really desire to do anything. It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I wasn't in a very "people" mood this weekend. I can't wait until college, I'm tired of high school, especially the people- sorry.
Anyways, church today was so good. It was just what I needed and everything felt like it was spoken right to me. I usually chicken out on going up for individual prayer, but this week I felt like it was something I really needed. Pastor Ray prayed for me and he knew exactly what to say, even though he doesn't know me that well. I am so glad to have a community like that. Everyone is so loving and so supportive. I trust everyone in my church so much more than people at school.
I know most of you probably think its uncool, or just don't care, but it's one of the most important things in my life. I get so much out of it and I love the people and it's fun and not boring as many would expect.
So, consider this an open invitation. If any of you are curious as to why church is so amazing or if any of you need a community like that, you are more than welcome to come to church or small group with me. Youth service is Sunday and 9. Church is Sunday at 10:30. Small group is Wednesday at 6:30/7:00.
Some of you are probably snickering to yourself right now, some of you probably think I'm lame, and some of you already have a pre-disposed hatred towards religion, but I don't care. Just think about it. I have something that gives meaning ful in to my life. Do you?
