I think I've been a bit sour today. Blah.
I didn't go to most of first period today and I missed a test in Chemistry but I'll make it up later, besides I'm just starting to understand it.
Math was pretty uneventful but the class next door sure were having a blast. It was Spanish 5, period 2. I wonder what goes on in that class that it's so fun. I have Spanish 5, period 3 with the same teacher and it never sounds like that. I mean seriously, what's up? Ok, maybe a few times...
We had to write an essay in spanish that was supposed to be 200-250 words but there was all this space to write and an hour, and then she says, it CAN'T be OVER 250 words. And I was like, crap because I'd already had about 500. So I just rewrote the essay in ten minutes and I got it to 223 words! YEAH! that's right. We finished watching a movie in period four that was tres triste. Wow, I just combined two languages right there, or three.
They actually have a sign in front of a lawyers firm that says, "Life's Short. Get a Divorce." Wow. Tan interesante I must say.
We had a potluck at lunch but everybody came and just dropped their stuff and left so there wasn't really anybody to eat it. It was an interesting mix of items consisting of: saltine crackers, brownies, craisins, raisins, seaweed, and a cashew candy bar. Yep. Interesting. Like I said.
Most people went to go see the battle of the bands, but it wasn't good for the health of my ears. Haha, it wasn't that bad. It just happens that some vocalists would probably do better toca-ing something rather than vocalizing.

Innocent Tragedies
I didn't go to school today. I had a major migraine. Which really worries me because I saw something on the news that said that every time you get a migraine, you could be getting brain damage and I get them quite a lot, so that can't possibly be good. I think it was actually because it was so flipping hot and then i decided to dance for about two hours and got overheated, especially after the hot shower, i should've just left it cold, or lukewarm because drastic temperature changes aren't good either. Anyway, so I woke up around fifty times, but I woke up around 12:30 when it was officially gone. Which was nice. I recorded a song today which was nice, and I actually think the first recording when the best. Or the third. Can't really decide.
I saw a movie called Catch and Release yesterday which was weird because of the overwhelming attempts at being creative. I swear to god if I have to see ONE MORE movie where they start off fighting and giving glares and then make out I'm gonna go crazy. I'm telling you, the only people that happens to in real life are people who watch too many movies.
My Movie Watching Trivia:
I tend to like the evil characters in movies
I usually like the promiscuous character rather than the innocent one.
I like people who can admit their faults and show that they have some.
I typically like the weird character who always says stuff at the wrong time.
I love it when there are open endings.
Even if I don't like a movie, I might just love it because of the soundtrack (aka Marie Antoinette)
Sadly while I generally like the bad characters I myself apparently look too innocent. Which is sort of tragic, but good at the same time I guess. I feel really bad now because when I was younger I used to do all this stuff and blame it on my cousin even if I did it and everybody believed me. Actually I think my grandma saw me break something one time, and I got away with it on account of: "He told me to." Which is just plain wrong. Not that I was complaining or anything.
Anyways, I missed the makeups for the high school exit exam. NO i did not fail it, I just was absent for the math part. But I heard I did really well on the english bit which was nice.

Heat Combustion
I am against using death as a punishment. I am also against using it as a reward.
- Stanislaw J. Lec
Just to start off the post. Lovely really.
So, I REALLY want to go to Tibet. And Thailand.
Some Places I'd love to Visit:
Tibet, Thailand, Japan, Egypt, Singapore, Portugal, Brazil, India, Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, Greece.
Yo estoy escuchando a una cancion en espanol y es tan bonita y ahora quiero hablar en espanol. Tal vez es porque estoy en la clase de espanol cada dia. Tambien yo tengo suenos en espanol y alugunas veces yo hablo en espanol en las otras clases mias. No quiero poner accentos ahora pero tal vez mas tarde.
Ok, now that that's out. Anyways, in period four we got to "research" in the media center for our video projects, and i was doing the mussolini interview and that's when it occurred to me that I would have to actually write the interview responses as well. Obviously as I'm not really interviewing him. This guy had a shady past right from the start. He got thrown out of church, disobeyed authority, stabbed a classmate in the hand, and threw an inkpot at a teacher. Doesn't sound like someone who should be ruling a country.
After school we got into the topic of the world cup for some reason. It was random, I remember my friend rooting for Ghana. All the way.
blah, its so hot here that i just might die of heat combustion.
Anyway i really can't remember what i was saying, so I think that's all for now as I'm feeling the urge to dance.

Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Power Yoga
Fabulous news! I actually just forgot it... oh yes, more driving over the summer. Vi has volunteered to help as well as my grandmere but you never know.
I am technically also banned from getting in the car with my aunt interestingly enough.
Oh, for the holidays I can't wait for snow, so all I have to say is that there better be snow. Actually, the highlight of my holidays will probably be the fat chips. I think I'm starving already. Oh, and of course LUSH!!! One of my favourite places in the world. I know. How superficial. But... the bath ballistics! Actually I still have about ten and they are all from 2004. That is how far I go in saving things. I know, tragic isn't it?
I really think I need to go to the beach. Random, but it's so flipping hot, school has really got to end. Tenth grade is never-ending. Really. I thought it was supposed to get better every year, but maybe not. OH PLEASE! I'd better get Yael started on my prom dress, because she's going to make it. Not because I am an unbelievably cheap scrooge but because she is talented connoisseur in the art of making fabrics that would ordinarily look like a pig hurled phlegm all over them into gorgeous works of art. At least in theory, I have yet to seen this evidenced, but whatever she makes will be fine with me as long as it does not look like the aforementioned description. I really do hope I'll still be in the same high school before then. Who knows, by then I may have been carted off to Greece. Which is a nice place to visit, however I think I'd like to stick to living in English speaking countries from now on. If possible.
Yeah! So today in Spanish, someone was talking about a sports article they read about a game this weekend where Chelsea won 1-0 against Liverpool. Yeah!
So yeah, that is awesome, although Milan did beat Manchester.
It was a bit cringey listening to how they said the names of the players, but otherwise, it made my day!
Although Chelsea did concede their title to Manchester Utd. but all the better because if they didn't they would be having lots of respect issues and you definitely do NOT want the media on your bad side, or the world to think you're crap when really you're the best.
Technically they just had a draw with Arsenal and no one won.
Chelsea were champions for the last two consecutive years but you have to lose sometime. Fouls really tick me off though. It's such a shame that Boulahrouz got kicked off the field after his foul with Baptista. So Silva gets the go ahead to actually get a goal for Arsenal with a penalty kick. Although warranted, it's a disappointing first goal really. Chelsea had lots of player issues though with Drogba off on an ankle injury and Boulahrouz having not played in a while. Congrats to Essien for being the best player for Chelsea, having actually scored the goal. Arsenal did pretty good, but Chelsea had a chance of getting ahead.
Not gonna lie, referees usually are just unbelievably annoying when you want to watch a game but this one, really, free kicks galore everybody, although I can't complain since he did seem to be more on the side of Chelsea.
At least Mourinho handled the loss well. I have to say, all in all, great game. And good job to Man U. They did start off the season in top form and carried on through to win the Premiership title. Well, Chelsea will be back on top to win it next year! I LOVE Jose Mourinho. Fantastic manager, really.
Oh hell, silly fools.

Anyway, yeah, so today was pretty good. I had an awesome hair day, although it only lasted until period three when my hair tie broke. Oh well, it was fine. I apparently wear too much olive green now. Before it was brown, and now its olive green. Wow. And my favorite colors to wear are red, yellow, and true, Green, and brown.
We had some new ideas for our video project in history but nothing too substantial. I still have to script the entire Mussolini Interview, probably by tonight. Then, I'm gonna have to get it filmed, and get the italian translated so i can subtitle it. AAAAHHH! Lots of work I have to do there. But otherwise yeah, I think its all good. Noticias tomorrow! I always forget! Hopefully I won't. In fact Tomorrow, I WILL NOT FORGET ABOUT NOTICIAS. There, I won't.
Right now some weird movie is on the telly and its with some chick who looks like Molly Ringwald. Somehow I then got into the subject where my dad mentions how Benicio del Toro looks like Brad Pitt. I'm not seeing it but i don't particularly like either one over much.

Yesterday I went to G'Brellas house so we could work on our project and she didn't answer her phone the entire day so basically I just got a ride from April. Anyhow, I wrote two commercials and thats just about all we did in four hours. Gelly and I worked on the live concert portion of our video and we couldn't find an upbeat swing song that had singing in it. I think we'll just end up using a song from Swing Kids or something, I don't really know at this point. April and I tried to use G'Brellas huge hula hoop but it had lumps on the inside and it was giving our stomachs bruises. That's how they get you into shape. They bruise you until you can't eat anymore and throw it all up. This theory came after using it after having eaten some cake, chips, bread, and fabulous Rice Krispies made by Gelly. Then there was some treadmilling and various song incantations as well as plenty of messing about. I talked to Mads earlier too. She was supposed to work on her project but apparently decided to go off biking and climbing trees since that didn't pan out. It sounded like so much fun. I need to climb trees more often.

So Sally Stay Silent
So yay, yesterday I went out to eat for cinco de mayo. It was yum and I ordered a quesadilla cos they are amazing. Obviously. I really wanted to go rent Hercules because for some reason I couldn't get the song "The Gospel Truth" out of my head all day and just went around saying "and that's the gospel truth." Anyways, so when we went to the movie store it was out! Very tragic. you may be questioning as to why i don't own it already, and that answer to that is: i don't know. So then I decided to get The Black Cauldron because I haven't seen it in so long. Actually, I think the last time might have been in italy, which, pretty much guarantees that I have NO idea of what it's about. Although I do remember a pig and some evil things. Or maybe thats just random speculation. I didn't get to watch it yet since I fell asleep when I got back. I did some video recordings of people playing music and will probably make a montage later but I won't be releasing it to the public. Oh, yeah, and then I found out there was a Mulan II! Who knew? I'll have to see that later, but now I really want to see Dream Girls. I had advanced screening passes for that but I never went. :(
Anyway, for school our English HP teacher is following us to English AP. Naturally you get the hardest teacher twice in a row. He's Mr. Feeny'ing us like in Boy meets World. We should be scared.

They are all back there in England but my mum promised we'd go back for the holidays! And what a lovely crimbo that'd be!
Why is it people insist on calling adults "grown-ups"? I don't mind at all but I mean really, then are we "grow-downs" or "young-downs" or "slow-downs" or we should be called "young-downers" and they can be called "grow-uppers" Alright. Never mind.
In addition to the lovely world of ladies, I am posting the essential:
PMessage about PMS-age
Essential 5 Things You Need If You're Friend Is PMSing Kit:
1.) Massive Boxes of Chocolate
2.) A mug of hot choccy
3.) A weepy film
4.) A soft, fluffy blanket
5.) A Hug
These are sure to cheer up any friend on the downs. For sure! Although in my case its more of a comedy that makes me cry.

Y You, Yeah.
you know everyone makes the same old same old, amazing, sensitive, hippy acrostic, so i thought this would be more creative. Just wish the people who were judging poetic skills understood that concept, but alas, we are at a loss of originality in this world, after all, everything you can possibly think of has already been thought twice over, which is weird considering what goes on in my mind. Has ANYONE else seen that purple dinosaur floating around with balloons on the bus in fourth grade yet??
Prime example, band name: Cadenas de Seda. Spent time coming up with a title in english. How bout chains? of what? silk sounds gnar, lets use that. Oh, hey lets look it up. chains- cadenas, you sure? whatever, silk? sedas? possibly. ok, fine. cadenas de seda.
oh, few months later, "WE ARE NOW OPENING A NEW EXHIBIT CALLED CADENAS DE SEDA." naturally. besides there is symbolism in there not that anyone could guess it. unless, well, you'd have to not be in where I am now. and then, well, its possible if you were, well thats all.
Lovely Quotes:
"The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood."
"Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!"
"Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild."
I am going to go to my friend G'Brella's house at 3:30 and I still have yet to get ready but it's only ten so i suppose i could wait an hour. Although, hanger on, I'm getting my food NOW.
Ugh, all I have left are Chocolate Rice Krispies. I don't like anything chocolate really. Except for reese's peanut butter cups and thats because i love peanut butter. and sometimes i even microwave them to melt all the chocolate off. It's really easy to peel off if you do it right! Interestingly enough I have not been able to develop that strange fear of "peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth" sydrome. and i have enough strange phobias. You would think, that after asking someone politely to NOT TOUCH your cereal they wouldn't. Actually the exact words of the culprit were, "I won't eat a lot, there's a lot in there!" He must've eaten a hell of a lot. Right, and I've barely enough for one bowl and I eat about three. Sometimes. I know, thank you.
Since this is pretty accesible for later I think I'll right down some useful information for later:
Stress pimple-izes you and causes dry patches. So be happy and hang out with people you like. Leaving you with a gorge glow.
(Maybe I'm misinterpreting that? )
Lemon toner - Squeeze the juice out of a lemon and sweep it over your T-zone using a cotton wool pad. Leave it to dry and then rinse it off. The natural acids from the lemon (won't burn your face off but) remove oil and dissolve dead skin cells. Leaving you with a gorgeous glow.
wow, lots of gorgeous glows going on there.
Whizz up five large strawberries and a cup of orange juice in a blender for a delicious fruity treat for you and your complexion.
Ice is a good way to get rid of zits. Hold it to your worry spot and eventually it will go away.
Six glasses of water a day, leaves you with a gorgeous glow due to toxins being flushed out of your body.
Yoghurt Mask:
Soothe sun-frazzled skin with this easy to whip up DIY mask.
Mix 1/2 a small tup of natural yoghurt with two tablespoons of finely chopped cucumber (take the skin off first!) Then smooth onto clean skin and chill out for ten minutes before wiping it off with a tissue and rinsing clean. (they also said Mmm! but that didn't sound too Mmm! so I neglected it.)
Another way to get glowing skin: Upping the amount of exercise you do. Jumping, dancing, oxygen helps!
Here's an explanation of why guys play video games:
1.) It sharpens skills vital to real life, eg. hand-to-eye coordination, reflexes, alien-slaughtering.
2.) It's great for fitness, providing excellent workout and toning for those all-important thumb muscles.
3.) Playing tomb raider is the one time in a boy's life when he can control a girl's behaviour.
4.) Playing video games has fewer health risks than other hobbies like reading (paper cuts), playing music (deafness) or chess (getting beat up for being a chess player.)
5.) And it provides escapism from stressful tasks they don't want to do, eg. homework, washing, cooking, and actually leaving the bedroom.
and there you are, all sorted.
The Steam Machine:
Fab Facial Sauna
Ingredients:
Freshly Boiled Water
Two tea herbal tea bags (chamomile for dry skin, peppermint for oily skin)
A towel to place over your head
1.) Pour 500mL of boiled water into a heatproof bowl (a pyrex one's perfect), add the tea bags and stir carefully.
2.) Pop a towel over your head and hold it over the bowl (at least 30cm above) to start your steamin'.
3.) After no more than five minutes, rinse your face with cold water and pat your skin dry. Now go party.
Why oh why do I do these things? I don't really know.
Daily life:
Photobooth compilation of pictures of me. Yay!:
My hair WILL grow back, it WILL grow back. Oh whatever, I'll probably just go and cut it again. It works.
"Turning Around and Around on This Music Box That's Wound By a Key."

They are all back there in England but my mum promised we'd go back for the holidays! And what a lovely crimbo that'd be!
Why is it people insist on calling adults "grown-ups"? I don't mind at all but I mean really, then are we "grow-downs" or "young-downs" or "slow-downs" or we should be called "young-downers" and they can be called "grow-uppers" Alright. Never mind.
In addition to the lovely world of ladies, I am posting the essential:

Essential 5 Things You Need If You're Friend Is PMSing Kit:
1.) Massive Boxes of Chocolate
2.) A mug of hot choccy
3.) A weepy film
4.) A soft, fluffy blanket
5.) A Hug
These are sure to cheer up any friend on the downs. For sure! Although in my case its more of a comedy that makes me cry.

you know everyone makes the same old same old, amazing, sensitive, hippy acrostic, so i thought this would be more creative. Just wish the people who were judging poetic skills understood that concept, but alas, we are at a loss of originality in this world, after all, everything you can possibly think of has already been thought twice over, which is weird considering what goes on in my mind. Has ANYONE else seen that purple dinosaur floating around with balloons on the bus in fourth grade yet??
Prime example, band name: Cadenas de Seda. Spent time coming up with a title in english. How bout chains? of what? silk sounds gnar, lets use that. Oh, hey lets look it up. chains- cadenas, you sure? whatever, silk? sedas? possibly. ok, fine. cadenas de seda.
oh, few months later, "WE ARE NOW OPENING A NEW EXHIBIT CALLED CADENAS DE SEDA." naturally. besides there is symbolism in there not that anyone could guess it. unless, well, you'd have to not be in where I am now. and then, well, its possible if you were, well thats all.
Lovely Quotes:
"The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood."
"Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!"
"Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild."
I am going to go to my friend G'Brella's house at 3:30 and I still have yet to get ready but it's only ten so i suppose i could wait an hour. Although, hanger on, I'm getting my food NOW.
Ugh, all I have left are Chocolate Rice Krispies. I don't like anything chocolate really. Except for reese's peanut butter cups and thats because i love peanut butter. and sometimes i even microwave them to melt all the chocolate off. It's really easy to peel off if you do it right! Interestingly enough I have not been able to develop that strange fear of "peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth" sydrome. and i have enough strange phobias. You would think, that after asking someone politely to NOT TOUCH your cereal they wouldn't. Actually the exact words of the culprit were, "I won't eat a lot, there's a lot in there!" He must've eaten a hell of a lot. Right, and I've barely enough for one bowl and I eat about three. Sometimes. I know, thank you.
Since this is pretty accesible for later I think I'll right down some useful information for later:
Stress pimple-izes you and causes dry patches. So be happy and hang out with people you like. Leaving you with a gorge glow.
(Maybe I'm misinterpreting that? )
Lemon toner - Squeeze the juice out of a lemon and sweep it over your T-zone using a cotton wool pad. Leave it to dry and then rinse it off. The natural acids from the lemon (won't burn your face off but) remove oil and dissolve dead skin cells. Leaving you with a gorgeous glow.
wow, lots of gorgeous glows going on there.
Whizz up five large strawberries and a cup of orange juice in a blender for a delicious fruity treat for you and your complexion.
Ice is a good way to get rid of zits. Hold it to your worry spot and eventually it will go away.
Six glasses of water a day, leaves you with a gorgeous glow due to toxins being flushed out of your body.
Yoghurt Mask:
Soothe sun-frazzled skin with this easy to whip up DIY mask.
Mix 1/2 a small tup of natural yoghurt with two tablespoons of finely chopped cucumber (take the skin off first!) Then smooth onto clean skin and chill out for ten minutes before wiping it off with a tissue and rinsing clean. (they also said Mmm! but that didn't sound too Mmm! so I neglected it.)
Another way to get glowing skin: Upping the amount of exercise you do. Jumping, dancing, oxygen helps!
Here's an explanation of why guys play video games:
1.) It sharpens skills vital to real life, eg. hand-to-eye coordination, reflexes, alien-slaughtering.
2.) It's great for fitness, providing excellent workout and toning for those all-important thumb muscles.
3.) Playing tomb raider is the one time in a boy's life when he can control a girl's behaviour.
4.) Playing video games has fewer health risks than other hobbies like reading (paper cuts), playing music (deafness) or chess (getting beat up for being a chess player.)
5.) And it provides escapism from stressful tasks they don't want to do, eg. homework, washing, cooking, and actually leaving the bedroom.
and there you are, all sorted.
The Steam Machine:
Fab Facial Sauna
Ingredients:
Freshly Boiled Water
Two tea herbal tea bags (chamomile for dry skin, peppermint for oily skin)
A towel to place over your head
1.) Pour 500mL of boiled water into a heatproof bowl (a pyrex one's perfect), add the tea bags and stir carefully.
2.) Pop a towel over your head and hold it over the bowl (at least 30cm above) to start your steamin'.
3.) After no more than five minutes, rinse your face with cold water and pat your skin dry. Now go party.
Why oh why do I do these things? I don't really know.
Daily life:
Photobooth compilation of pictures of me. Yay!:
My hair WILL grow back, it WILL grow back. Oh whatever, I'll probably just go and cut it again. It works.

Logarithmic Logging that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Logs. (Thank God.)
Well, I thought this should be easier to update than a journal thing, but maybe not.
Hopefully.
So anyways, yesterday night I saw Urinetown (that's right, Urinetown, not "You're In Town" which is what the majority of the sane population originally thought.") with my friend Jess. It was pretty ace. It's a school musical our school put on and they're really talented folks so I really liked it. It was bit long, but I think I might have an undiagnosed case of ADD, so much that I can't even watch TV. The only thing I can keep doing for long is listen to a song and that's usually due to me doing other things at the same time and not noticing that its ended. Jess thought it was absolutely hilarious. She happened to find it very giggle worthy when someone pulled off a girls knee brace and said freedom in the play. I didn't think it was that funny but when she laughs, I end up laughing, and then she started laughing again, and it went on like that for ten minutes. I nearly cried and I reckon we must have looked mental. They did a few song samples from Rent and The Cabaret as well which were fun. I liked the dancing best. I love dancing and so thats what I critique. Anyhow I went and bought our friend Zo who's in the play a bear and a flower from me and my friend Alex and Jess brought a card that we all signed. We waited for her after the show but she was practically last! But she said she really liked the gifts so that was good. I went and talked with Alex and Yael after which was interesting. During intermission I was outside talking to Ella and I said I was cold but that I'd left my jacket inside and she got really worried and asked me if I wanted her to go with me to retrieve it. Naturally I was confounded as I figured you could just leave in your things but she said it was over. So I freaked out and we went back in and I was wondering why there were lots of people still inside and then we checked the program and found out it was intermission. She was a bit embarrassed but we pretended like we had a grand adventure when we found our friends in the loos. Interestingly enough, all of the signs on the toilets said "it's a privilege to pee." It wasn't a very happy ending either. The plays we have are unbelievably strange...
Before the show I talked with Alex in the loos to get her to sign the card and such and interestingly enough she mentioned her 50 cent contribution that got returned today by G'brella. She's actually seeing it again today for free due to her volunteer ushering. I should've done that, then I wouldn't be here writing this nonsense. Actually I would since it's over by now, but still, I wouldn't have gotten this far in my ramblings. There was also a bit of boy talk, but I completely zoned out of most of it as I was busy glaring at the monstrosity that was my hair. But you know, what else can you expect when your hair has been chopped off in uneven lengths in pudding bowl hairstyle but your salon owning neighbour?
Well, Sunday I'm going to G'brellas house to work on a project we've been assigned for history along with Lirpa, Gelly and Evie. Its a video project thats supposed to be for twenty minutes. Crazy. It's on WWII and we're having G'Brellas dad play Mussolini and speak in Italian so I can subtitle it. Naturally I get to be the person with the British accent, but I could always play french or spanish. Although Spain wasn't really involved, was it?
Anyway, I've went and scheduled a "rescue call" for the affair. I initially declined the meeting for other favorable locations to be instead of in a house attempting to write a script that will end up resulting in gibberish mixed up lines and poor acting (not that I'm exempt, mind you. Actually I had this video for Spanish 4 last year and you could literally see me bending down to read my lines with my nose on the paper, and a guitar that I'm supposed to play, in the air. ) The call is supposed to be for bad dates but this applies. I mentioned that I would not be able to get a ride, but some people decide kidnapping you from your house is the best option to get you to participate in school related activities. While actually I did work on the project with Evie for about half an hour on Wednesday. I was there for maybe 3 but at least we got part of a cast list done and researched the battle of normandy. I do want the video to be good though, and thats why I'm going to channel my pro acting abilities, and use my pro writing skills to scripitize a script, and provide a soundtrack and utilize my editing software as a fair contribution in my opinion. Anyways, the rescue call was something I stumbled upon at this site accidentally: girlsguidetodating.com The call system is actually very useful. "SCHEDULE YOURS TODAY." WINK WINK Incidentally, I also signed up for a free razor. IT WAS PINK.
Apparently I'm babysitting just about every week now. Vi needs to go see her fiance. Apparently the son of her fiance is sixteen and VERY handsome. All I said was that if he was ANYTHING like her fiance, I would pass wholeheartedly. So naturally she denied, denied, denied. And went on to describe someone sounding fairly boring. But that's alright. It's just not working for me. I need someone funny. That's all. Funny. With good hygiene. I don't think that's too much to ask for but apparently, it is.
I really can't stand the telly. I really can't. It's this little buzzing noise in my ear with absolutely nothing to say. It tells you to buy the "new electronic banana peeler that fits in to twenty five outlets all over the world." None of which fit mine. Naturally. Not that I bought it or anything.
That and it also lets you listen to people complain or talk about absolutely nothing that concerns me or is of interest. They also insist on making commercials immensely long. I can't tell/y you how tired of hearing about statistics I am. OF COURSE YOU'LL AGE BY THE TIME YOU'RE 85. Did you know, that one in one women will die?
Although sometimes football/soccer matches are a bit interesting. I don't know why. It's flipping guys kicking a flipping ball. Oh right, guys.
You know, its really annoying when they give you things like "tests for astigmatism" when you know you have it and you can't understand what on earth they are talking about.
"To a person with astigmatism, some lines may appear darker than the others."
As opposed to what? Some lines ARE darker than the others. Just cos they can't see it doesn't mean I have a problem, shouldn't their keen eyes be able to pick up on such subtleties?
In other situations, my dad did bring me home some hummus today and it was original flavor which was nice. Goodness KNOWS i'm tired of spicy and sour mixes. I practically gave it a welcome home speech and nearly spazzed until I found the pita bread.
I've also taken to mentioning the special connection between my amiga Berry and her chitterchatterargue guy, "Limon." Very sophis, I think. Well, its a lot better than Mevin.
I wonder what you call someone when you are mad at them these days. I think its best to just say nothing or give them a glare as nowadays people just go on saying "hey slut, freak, &%@(#, etc." Very entertaining to watch.
During standardized testing this week I was bored out of my brain. Literally. And I just did my hw all through the extra 2 hours of doing nothing. I did not use my iPod at all. Not once. I'm kind of proud.
I also managed to record 8 songs. Some are ok, the others are well, decent. And then there are the ones that are crap, but we don't mention those.
I have absolutely NO idea of what goes on in Chem. I really don't. I swear to god, that class is crazy. Well, maybe if I did my work more. But then, i've just skived off on three math assignments. oh yay. not really. i'd like to pass for once.
And we're still singing songs in Spanish. You'd think after five years that they'd think you've finished your contribution to the musical arts, but no, they insist on people flaunting their musical incompetence. If this happens in AP next year, I may have second thoughts. You can't honestly expect us to be able to sing songs AND know where pronombre tonicos go, now can you?
Oh yeah, last sunday mads and her friend went and came to my house on account of them having been stranded across the street. Not even giving a thought to the fact that a) I might possibly have just woken up granted it was 5:30, and b) I don't let people in my house.
(Mostly due to the fact that it is messy as hell, and I've got to clean it.) But they used a cell phone and I went with them back across the street and went and bought myself a pizza and some candy. I know, how healthy. Did you know, I can buy grapes at my school for 50 cents!?! That's crazy. G'Brellas brother said 25 cents but I didn't believe him as who sells buckets of grapes at school in the first place?
Oh man I have this huge bruise on my arm after having attempted to climb the gate to my community after having left the keys in my house after Evie dropped me off. Its painful. However I typically do this. As does everybody else, which is why it is not a very safe place, I think. Although if anyone has gotten a serious injury like this, then well, hey, maybe its working.
I babysat last weekend again. I also got to talk to Steve and Megs. Yay. Well, anyways, aside from Jay driving me absolutely up the wall, we went and stayed overnight at my house so Vi could stay over at her fiances. So what happened there was that I found out Jay hadn't seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and we went straight to the video store to rent it because every child in the world should see that movie. I LOVE IT. He also actually cleaned his room without a problem. It really was amazing. He was unbelievably hungry though and I had to attempt to make all kinds of food even though I can't cook a thing. We also ended up playing a few games as well, and listened to Barbie Girl. Right. And Meg came over for a bit. Granted we were watching Drake and Josh on account of Jay loves that show, and I've seen WAYYYY more episodes than is humanely palpable. Which kind of reminds me of Evie's house. One of her old favorite songs was called "You Know." It was really funny cos i was reading the second side of the paper kind of reading it and i was about to ask evie if she wrote it and then i turned it to the front and it says in big letters, "YOU KNOW BY DRAKE BELL" It was classic. The lyrics are pretty poor but you know, people like different things i suppose. I ended up watching part of the video but i got really freaked out really quick. Sadly, as many times as i have seen drake and josh i cannot, for the life of me ever remember how the theme song goes. but i pretty much memorize every song i hear within the first time of hearing it. i think its cos jay finds it fun to jump on me or stifle me with pillows. Anyways, I've forgotten what I was talking about and so i'm just gonna go ahead and end the topic.
In Algebra II today we had a sub so I basically played on K-Fizzles calculator for 40 minutes. We even got to do a flash card game for history on a math calculator. We skipped all the math problems of course. Although one question did ask me to read a musical note of which I thought was a C, but apparently it was a middle C. OBVIOUSLY. I didn't even know those existed I guess thats the EGBDF scale and not the FACE scale which are whole notes. I guess. To make it sound logical. Which it isn't.
It was Brookers birthday today. She got given a balloon by Mol in 1st period and it had elmo singing "Happy Birthday" with an eerie laugh at the end every time someone hit it. So naturally it was very "sensitive" and everybody went and hit it. At lunch we had brownies, cookies and some rice krispies made by Savvy who was clearly insistent upon their terrible taste every time I took a bite. She was quite nearly paranoid as they were terrific.
My GOD!!! Everyone I know seems to have rock hard abs. A few days ago I poked Nic's stomach and my god, it was harder than Gabs! and she's a dancer with absolutely no weight. So basically everyone is going around being all strong and flat and then Mads goes aheads and says, "GOSH, only me and ashley have squishy stomachs." which was nice of her to mention. besides she isn't squishy. she's taller than me and weighs 114 lbs. She's flat. But squishy. ??? Lets see, I'm 5' 3 and I weigh, er, hang on... I hesitate to mention on a public facility but its only 108 right now, but I'm still growing. Round the middle that is. Not that I care, food is my love. I'm good.
We had testing today. After my friends exboyfriend was waving to me and I just ignored him. And then at lunch he went and mentioned it and I just said that I simply didn't see him. And then he said, "there was direct eye contact! I waved, and then you put your head down on your desk." My response? "I'm passive."
Well my friend Gabs has broken up with her bf finally. They've been offagainonagain for ages. So I guess that doesn't really count as news then. Moving on.
Mads did get mad at Gabs the other day, she thinks she was flirting with her aforementioned ex-bf and got really jealous. Gabs firmly denies it, HOWEVER, anyone who knows Gabs knows that every time she talks, she is flirting. She shouldn't be blamed for it if she hasn't got a clue but you can't tell that to some people.
I did burn my pizza. And managed to accidentally make Mads cry in remembrance of her old bf. I also got sent about 5 pics of their old escapades.
I also need to buy a new pair of boots. I now have only 150 dollars maybe. Oh well, there should be a discount, it's summer.
I have no idea why I've just spent about an hour logging this all down. Well, whatever works.
Tomorrow being cinco de mayo, I'm going to have to go to Chevy's and have some fabulous comida. Reservations anyone?
I think I need to go to a concert. Dunno, just a hunch.
Hopefully.

Oh man I have this huge bruise on my arm after having attempted to climb the gate to my community after having left the keys in my house after Evie dropped me off. Its painful. However I typically do this. As does everybody else, which is why it is not a very safe place, I think. Although if anyone has gotten a serious injury like this, then well, hey, maybe its working.
I babysat last weekend again. I also got to talk to Steve and Megs. Yay. Well, anyways, aside from Jay driving me absolutely up the wall, we went and stayed overnight at my house so Vi could stay over at her fiances. So what happened there was that I found out Jay hadn't seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and we went straight to the video store to rent it because every child in the world should see that movie. I LOVE IT. He also actually cleaned his room without a problem. It really was amazing. He was unbelievably hungry though and I had to attempt to make all kinds of food even though I can't cook a thing. We also ended up playing a few games as well, and listened to Barbie Girl. Right. And Meg came over for a bit. Granted we were watching Drake and Josh on account of Jay loves that show, and I've seen WAYYYY more episodes than is humanely palpable. Which kind of reminds me of Evie's house. One of her old favorite songs was called "You Know." It was really funny cos i was reading the second side of the paper kind of reading it and i was about to ask evie if she wrote it and then i turned it to the front and it says in big letters, "YOU KNOW BY DRAKE BELL" It was classic. The lyrics are pretty poor but you know, people like different things i suppose. I ended up watching part of the video but i got really freaked out really quick. Sadly, as many times as i have seen drake and josh i cannot, for the life of me ever remember how the theme song goes. but i pretty much memorize every song i hear within the first time of hearing it. i think its cos jay finds it fun to jump on me or stifle me with pillows. Anyways, I've forgotten what I was talking about and so i'm just gonna go ahead and end the topic.
In Algebra II today we had a sub so I basically played on K-Fizzles calculator for 40 minutes. We even got to do a flash card game for history on a math calculator. We skipped all the math problems of course. Although one question did ask me to read a musical note of which I thought was a C, but apparently it was a middle C. OBVIOUSLY. I didn't even know those existed I guess thats the EGBDF scale and not the FACE scale which are whole notes. I guess. To make it sound logical. Which it isn't.
It was Brookers birthday today. She got given a balloon by Mol in 1st period and it had elmo singing "Happy Birthday" with an eerie laugh at the end every time someone hit it. So naturally it was very "sensitive" and everybody went and hit it. At lunch we had brownies, cookies and some rice krispies made by Savvy who was clearly insistent upon their terrible taste every time I took a bite. She was quite nearly paranoid as they were terrific.
My GOD!!! Everyone I know seems to have rock hard abs. A few days ago I poked Nic's stomach and my god, it was harder than Gabs! and she's a dancer with absolutely no weight. So basically everyone is going around being all strong and flat and then Mads goes aheads and says, "GOSH, only me and ashley have squishy stomachs." which was nice of her to mention. besides she isn't squishy. she's taller than me and weighs 114 lbs. She's flat. But squishy. ??? Lets see, I'm 5' 3 and I weigh, er, hang on... I hesitate to mention on a public facility but its only 108 right now, but I'm still growing. Round the middle that is. Not that I care, food is my love. I'm good.
We had testing today. After my friends exboyfriend was waving to me and I just ignored him. And then at lunch he went and mentioned it and I just said that I simply didn't see him. And then he said, "there was direct eye contact! I waved, and then you put your head down on your desk." My response? "I'm passive."
Well my friend Gabs has broken up with her bf finally. They've been offagainonagain for ages. So I guess that doesn't really count as news then. Moving on.
Mads did get mad at Gabs the other day, she thinks she was flirting with her aforementioned ex-bf and got really jealous. Gabs firmly denies it, HOWEVER, anyone who knows Gabs knows that every time she talks, she is flirting. She shouldn't be blamed for it if she hasn't got a clue but you can't tell that to some people.
I did burn my pizza. And managed to accidentally make Mads cry in remembrance of her old bf. I also got sent about 5 pics of their old escapades.
I also need to buy a new pair of boots. I now have only 150 dollars maybe. Oh well, there should be a discount, it's summer.
I have no idea why I've just spent about an hour logging this all down. Well, whatever works.
Tomorrow being cinco de mayo, I'm going to have to go to Chevy's and have some fabulous comida. Reservations anyone?
I think I need to go to a concert. Dunno, just a hunch.
