Well, I'm at work and none of my friends are online, and Scott is at his gran's, and Amanda isn't answering the phone at home, so I have no one to share my bad news with except you folks.
As you can see below, Scott and I have moved forward the wedding date. This is great, of course! But that meant changing the reservations for all the places we already have reserved. I haven't gotten ahold of the Events Coordinator at Ella's Restaurant yet to see if the date can be changed there, but I did get to talk to the owner of the Dickson Theater where the reception was to be held. It just so happens that September the 18th is also the wedding date of my friends Anna and Don. They are having their reception at the Dickson Theater on that day.
Not only does this mean we no longer have a free venue for the reception, but half of my friends are going to have to decide between weddings.
Sure, it would be easy for me to say, "Well, Scott-darling, let's just make the wedding the next weekend, or the weekend before." But this is not possible. Because, you see, September is part of football season. And if you've ever lived in a college town, you understand that game days are TERRIBLE days for trying to get out of your house. Unless you're going to the game, you are insane for trying to do anything on a game day. And unfortunately, every weekend of September, except the 18th, is a game weekend. Which means we either move to wedding to October (which I absolutely do not want to do) or move it to August (which is way too close and therefore something I do not want to do.)
Anyway, this is just a little bit of bad news. Let's hope nothing else bad happens. (Lord, I'm praying that you please keep Ella's open for that weekend so we don't have to change those plans either.)
Please give me your sympathy. This just sucks.
Love,
Lori
PS. Anyone wanna host our reception somewhere for free?
**UPDATE**
Ella's is ours. Whew.

Ahem, hem, hem. Pay attention ladies and gentlefolk, if you will.
I have an announcement to make.
Lori and I have moved our planned wedding date forward to the 18th of September, 2004.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say "Yay!". I'm getting married to the most beautiful, funny, intelligent girl anyone anywhere has ever met/seen/known. That's Lori, btw. Not my other wives.
Well, I'm off to a gig. It is the wonderful Heraldo Beige. Have fun :).

Everyone tell Lori to take the test.

This has been a crappy, crappy week.
I've cried so much I get a headache just thinking about crying.
Me and Scott had a miserable phone conversation this afternoon. Lots of crying on my end, very little talking from both ends. So as I got in bed a little while ago, I decided to call him. But my call wouldn't go through! I called the operator and she told me I had a block on my phone, so that I couldn't call the UK. She didn't know what the problem was and neither did I. Before I tried calling him, it wasn't that big a deal. But after discovering I couldn't call him, I burst into tears again. This is getting to be so unfair!
I have a test tomorrow morning. It's a make-up test. Technically, I don't have to take it since the teacher drops the lowest test score. I'm a A kinda person, but tonight I decided to settle on a B. If I take the test and make an A, I'll have an A for the class. But if I take the test and get a B or if I don't take the test at all, I'll get a B. I've decided on the B.
I feel horrid. I have a little poetry reading thing tomorrow afternoon at the Middle School. I was pretty excited about it, but now I'm not. No one is coming with me, and I haven't prepared anything, and I'm too tired and too stressed and too upset to think about it. I guess I'll just have to prepare at work tomorrow.
Work. That's another thing that sucks. But more on that later.
Thank God tomorrow is the last day of school. After tomorrow I have two papers and a test, and I will be finished. Until summer school starts, that is. But I'm looking forward to summer school a little bit. I'm taking Math and Biology. Two classes that don't require papers. That side of my brain hasn't been worked in a while. Maybe my headache will move to the other side now.
I want to be married.
I miss you, Scott!
*cries.

Things I Love About Getting Married
1. People talk to me about sex.
2. A certain freedom I feel to wear a bathing suit, as boys are no longer a consideration.
3. Looking at my calendar and writing in things like "Rehearsal Dinner" and "Get wax this week".
4. Making elaborate plans and leaving the money issues to my parents.
5. Wearing a ring.
6. Married people actually talk to me now.
Things I Don't Love About Getting Married
1. Girls asking me, "How will I know when he's the One?"
2. Having to tell people the same boring details everyone asks about. (when, where, how we met, colors)
3. People assuming we will have bagpipes and a cealidh because Scott is Scottish.
4. Dieting.
5. Those faces married people make to each other when I say something naive about marriage.

Dang it, I just screwed up Superlori.com. I must've saved "intro" as "index" and now my index page is lost. Grrr. I don't know how to fix it, Scott and Chris are the ones who helped me get the index page all fixed up right in the first place. Arg!
I quit.

Corinna's Going A-Maying
It's Saturday morning, I'm dressed and ready for Springfest, but Amanda won't get up.
The birds are calling out to me. What do I do?
Get up, get up for shame, the blooming morn...

Mmmm, chocolate.
Chocolate makes me feel much better after a bad day. Which is what I had.
First: some idiot woman decided that instead of drinking her tea, she'd instead pour it on my hand as I gave it to her. My fingers are now very red and sore.
Second: it was hellishly busy.
Third: it was KFC. It's never good.
Well, some amusing news. My vegetarian friend, Paul, who plays for my old band The Ocean Fracture (formerly Emberfall), got a job in KFC. They were discussing training him in kitchen, which would mean he'd have to pull apart chickens and suchlike.
I think it's funny, anyway.
My blogs are really boring, I know.
