I think hell IS freezing over!
So, I graduate from high school in 2001, and immediately afterwards, weird things start happening there. Well, maybe not immediately, but close enough. Spring of 2002, they put on Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (why not 2001? why?). Spring 2003, they put on Les Miserables (WHY NOT 2001??????). Granted, Candide was great fun (even though the oboe part SUCKED, and I was consequently faced with the decision of either being a-bored out of my mind in pit orchestra performances/rehearsals, b-dropping out altogether, or c-taking on a keyboard part. i opted for choice c - and that may or may not have been one of my smarter ideas!)...and I now have a greater love of the Voltaire novel, which I own two copies of and have read over and over again.
Anyway, in Shorewood recently, there have been two fires (see March 4 and Sept 22), with the latter being suspected to be an arson!?!?!?!?!?!? Huh????

And the story of all stories is the winning football record that they hold as of now!! HUH??????????????????????????
Forgive me if I'm in a minor state of shock, but PLEASE. When I was in high school we won two games - in four years. Yes, we won one game when I was a freshman, and another game when I was a senior. They won a game when I was in eighth grade as well, in 1996, and the last game they had won before that was in 1988. Yes, you read that correctly, 1988. So, after winning three games in my entire middle school/high school time, it's somewhat hard for me to believe that the team is now 4-2???????? Yeah, weird. I think hell is freezing over somewhere...
Maybe I will go to a game or something over fall break, because hey, who wouldn't want to see a team win? Or at least score. :)
Oh, and some loser left me a voice message in box two of my room phone!!! Hopefully it wasn't important!!! :)
