Not Dead Yet

Filed Under:

But I know who's trying to kill me.

"Regina, you are paranoid."

Yes, but let me explain. Every year the seniors at my school play a game called "Assassin". You get the name of someone you have to assassinate, and when you kill that person, you have to assassinate the person they were given, and so on and so forth.

How do you "kill" someone?

You have to get them all alone, OR when no one else can hear you. And you tell them that they've been assassinated. Whispering it in their ear is very cheap, so you should say it in a normal tone of voice.

It's actually quite exciting, and I killed my first victim two days ago. Now the next one is going to be tricky, especially because he's already "dead".

Yes, student council screwed up and gave two people the same person to kill. So I'm not really sure what to do now... except wait for them to fix the mistake.

At this moment, my asssassin is waiting for me outside in the atrium... and he just sent one of his buddies to tell me to go out because Nick wants to tell me something in the atrium.

Not. Going. To. Work. I'm hiding in the library right now because it's a safe zone, and I'm not going to go out until school is over and there are a bunch of people out there in the halls.

Anyways, aside from that, I'm going skiing this weekend with Nick and his family! This will be my third time skiing, ever(!), so let's hope I don't come back blue and green all over! :)

Have a good weekend everyone!

March Break and Thoughts on Prom


Today is the last day of March Break week, and I'm not ready to go back to school. Boo. Here's a list of what I did:

  • Added 2 new pages to this blog, since Blogger lets you do that now. I added an "about me" page and a "blogs I read" page --> Links are in the sidebar.

  • Finally watched Avatar. It was great; you can't go wrong with that storyline. I didn't think it was as awesome as everyone hyped it up to be, but it was an enjoyable experience. I also discovered that I get incredibly nauseous when watching action shots in 3D. Wearing 3D glasses on top of regular glasses is pretty uncomfortable too, but I got used to it.

  • Played piano like crazy.

  • Planned out some hotel details for my summer trip to France with Nick. So excited!

  • Went shopping and tried on some dresses for prom. Nick and I also bought each other 1 year anniversary presents. :)
If you are still in school, do you get a break in March? If so, what did you do?

On the note of prom dresses, some people have already purchased theirs, which in my opinion is slightly ridiculous since the event itself is 4 months away! Having said that, I think my friends can tell you that I've been looking at prom dresses online since September (just to get an idea of what I like)... But I didn't go out and try them on until today!

I also proved today that you don't know what looks good unless you try it on. I had been set on buying an A-line dress or an empire waist, but it turns out those just make me look pregnant. Instead, I looked better in the dresses that I had previously deemed too "tight" (probably because the girls modeling the dresses were in very... erm, suggestive positions). I didn't look like a skank! :D

My friends will also tell you that I'm very worried about my hair. I'm not sure what would look good for my face and hair type: I have a heart shaped face and black straight hair that goes down past my shoulders (picture in sidebar). Any suggestions?

I also wouldn't mind suggestions/past-experience-sharing from people who have attended prom. What was yours like? How did you get ready for it?
