The Clock is Laughing in my Face


Today's one of those wierd days that we have all eight of our classes. I'll tell you about my day so far, and I'll indulge more 4A if anything else interesting happens. Which I doubt.

1A-Novella. Had to read and summarize some chapters of that retarded story. I just skimmed and wrote down important things. Then I worked on my notecards for English.

1B-Photography. We prepared our photos for our showcase coming up next month. That includes naming them. I named the one of my Wall of Green Day "Obsessed is an Understatement." LOL totally true.

2A-German. We read der Werwolf . We have a new German exchange student! Her name is Katja and she's totally cool!

2B-Algebra II. I was a rebel. I was supposed to be doing Cognitive Tutor. But I typed the blog for yesterday instead. Muhaha.

3A-Winds. Is now. I'm in the lab, watching Lyra play Don't Shoot the Puppy. You gotta play it. It's hilarious!!! The screen says Congratulations, You Won! but she's afraid to move the mouse because she thinks the screen is a trick like the dark screen. She doesn't wanna shoot the puppy!!!

Will type more later...if there's more to type.


Song on my heart of the day:

THERE'S A CLASS FOR THIS

Cute is What We Aim For


What you got now gotta, gotta give it up

What you got now gotta, gotta give it up

What you got now, what you got now


We keep ourselves a mystery

But we provide, provide the clues

So the rest is up to you

and don't forget to check the obvious

We are so serious

So I guess it all comes down to how curious you can be


What you got now gotta, gotta give it up

What you got now gotta, gotta give it up

What you got now, what you got now


Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back

I may be ugly but they sure love to stare

Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back

I may be ugly but they sure, they sure, love to stare


And you check labels more than the FCC

and these calories are, are killing me

But this is a sticky situation

So keep your chest in the game

And drop your jaw and coax me(just coax me, just coax me)


What you got now gotta, gotta give it up

What you got now gotta, gotta give it up

What you got now, what you got now


Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back

I may be ugly but they sure love to stare

Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back

I may be ugly but they sure (they sure) they sure


This is a party without the people

This is a show without the sounds

This is a dance without the steps

Now I gave you the clues, so find what I've found

This is a party without the people

This is a show without the sounds

Now I gave you the clues, so find what I've found


Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back

I may be ugly but they sure love to stare

Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back

I may be ugly but they sure love to stare

For Lack of a Better Word

I really don't know where I left off. Oh yeah. I was rambling about the retarded eighth grade drama. Ha. Totally over it.

Let's see if I can recall yesterday...

1st Block-Photography. I worked on making an insanely hard print. I could not acheive the tonal value no matter what I did. I spent the whole time doing test strips and I didn't even make a print. I don't think I'm cut out to be a photographer.

2nd Block-Algebra II. Nothing interesting. Just work.

3rd Block-Chemistry. I totally paid attention. I didn't text in class and ask to go to the bathroom to see who the random person was that called me and I didn't know. I wasn't at all breaking the rules. Nope, not at all. We're just doing Lewis Dot Structures, which is very simple and straightforeward. I knew what I was doing.

4th Block-English. We heard some great antecdotes and had a lot of fun. We worked, but we got a nice balance of goofing off with it. The guys were throwinig Jake's pet tampon named Flo around. It was funny. Frau Claypool laughed along too, but eventually made one of the guys throw it away. Jake was sad, so I told him I'd bring another one the next day. It was quite amusing...Oh, and I asked my visual arts major friend Alex Hoover if he knew how to anime-i-fy people and he said yeah and I asked if he'd teach me. He anime-i-fied me, and it was totally cool! I can't wait to learn how to do it.

Later, we went out. I bought Borat so I could break my $100 and get a Green Day poster from Shelbi (that I already have, but hey, my guys ruined her chance of getting a cool HIM poster, so I have to make up for it). I can't wait to watch it. I talked to Korean the whole time I was at Wal Mart and earlier when I was at Bojangles. Bojangles is yummy. They have good buscuits. And fries. Anyway, it was cool ^^ He was telling me about funny things Randee had done/said. Randee is hilarious! I love Randee!

Funny story how I met her. Technically, the first time was in my neighborhood. She was staying with my other friend Carmen and they stopped me on my walk to ask advice. Brandon, the neighborhood perv, invited them to come in and "watch a movie." I knew Brandon well enough to tell them not to trust him.

The second, official time we met was at Wal Mart. We were in the music section and she was listening to Green Day. I started talking to her, and we talked a long time about music. We traded numbers, and she called me that night. After talking a while, we realized we both had Carmen in common, and then she remembered me advising them not to hang out with Brandon. How special is that? It's a small world after all.

Anyway, I'll type more later about today. That's basically all that happened.

Oh, I was talking to Kate, and she said I was one of the nicest people she met here!!! I felt special. Yesterday was her birthday and I was going to go over for cupcakes, but I got home too late and it was storming. I still want to do something for her, but I'm not sure what.

Anyway, Tchüss!!!

Song on my heart of the day:
HIPS DON'T LIE
Shakira
Ladies up in here tonight
No fighting, no fighting
We got the refugees up in here
No fighting, no fighting
Shakira, Shakira
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama (si), bonita (si), mi casa (si, Shakira Shakira), su casa
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest ideaUntil I saw you dancing
And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way you right and left it
So you can keep on shaking it
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama (si), bonita (si), mi casa (si, Shakira Shakira), su casa
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
And I'm on tonightYou know my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on lets go, real slow
Don't you see baby asi es perfecto
Oh I know I am on tonight my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Oh boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don't, don't really know what I'm doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraintHave come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know
That's a bit too hard to explain
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama (si), bonita (si), mi casa (si, Shakira Shakira), su casa
Shakira, Shakira
Oh baby when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
Senorita, feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!Mira en Barranquilla se baila así
Yeah
She's so sexy every man's fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a 3rd world country
I go back like when 'pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats
I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto
Oh, you know I am on tonight and my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tensionBaby, like this is perfection
No fighting

Grasping to Control...(So I'd Better Hold On...)

I have five minutes to type, so my readers will have to know about today tomorrow...if I even get time then.
The computer's being really slow as well.
I guess I'll just fill you in on later yesterday.
I told Lyra about the tail coming off Brego, and Lyra's friends with Paull, so before she was going to get mad at him, she was going to have him prove it. Apparently, Korean was misinformed, for the tail is still attached. I know he wasn't lie about it, because Korean wouldn't lie about something like that. You know, I'm SICK of 8th grade drama. I'm going to simply not talk to Paull anymore, and once I get my stuff back, I prolly won't talk to Landon either. No crap ever got started when I wasn't talking to those two. Landon's not so bad as Paull, but still, I met Paull through Landon, so yeah. Korean, however, never tries to start crap with me. He only tells me things when I need to know them and he doesn't make up stuff to piss me off or HANG MY LEMUR AND SEND ME A PICTURE OF IT!!!!! I mean, Blair told Paull she didn't wanna be dragged into it, and he wondered how he got into it, but none of this would have happened had he not sent me that picture of my lemur.

Anyway, that's the bell. Gotta go.

Smashed the Radio with the Board of Education

<- Cherie Priest rocks!!!
So...today wasn't very eventful. First block, Ms. Hansford pissed me off (like she always does) by simply giving me a reading assignment. I don't wanna read her crap!!! I wanna read Wings to the Kingdom by Cherie Priest!!! Waaaaahhhh!!!


In second block, I simply worked on comprehending a German story.


Third, I practiced my clarinet and worked on my 50 cards that are due tommorrow. Stress.


Fourth (now) I'm typing this here blog ^_^. I'm a little distracted though, 'cause I'm chatting with Korean. I'm no good at multitasking. Well, he just got off. Now, maybe I can indulge you with more details.


Last night, after I typed yesterday's entry, more stuff happened. Paull sent me a text saying he did something to my lemur and he would give me two on what he did. Apparently, he got it all muddy and put it in washing machine. Korean said the tail came off :'-( He also said Paull called me a whore in gym and Landon kicked his arse!!! WOOT for Landon. Maybe he's not so bad after all.


Well, Korean's back on. TTYL!!!

to all my friends




Do You Have the Time to Listen to me Whine?


Hello, my faithful readers!

I found a way I can make time to write. I can type my entries at home, save them to my jump drive, and paste them into Blogger at school. Thus, you’ll have better and longer entries. This means that all my entries will be a day behind, though. Or not…I could always write out my day on A-days and then, only my B-days will be behind.

I didn’t tell you anything about my day yesterday. It was B-day, so first block I had photography. Mrs. Blair didn’t show, so we all sat out in the commons. I just hung out with Logan, Carrie, and Lauren.

Second block was Algebra II, and we learned about quadratic binomials and finding the coordinates of parabolas or something like that. It was easy stuff.

During lunch, I went looking for Serena so I could give her the scarf I crocheted for her to give to her Lolie friend, but I couldn’t track her down. I don’t think she was at school today, even though Blair said she was. I wouldn’t have missed her though. She has bright, pink hair! X-D

Third block was fine until Paull texted me. He told me Landon told him I did something I never did do and never will do. I won’t say what. It’s too horrible, and I don’t want to repeat it. However, I texted Landon to ask him why he told Paull that, and he said he didn’t. I don’t know whether or not to believe him. I wouldn’t put it past Landon to lie, but I also wouldn’t put it past Paull to make up stuff just to piss me off. And he wonders why I don’t like him. Anyway, for the rest of third block, I was shaking and on-edge. I wonder why I even deal with eighth graders. I thought I left the eighth-grade drama behind when I left Hunter Middle, but here I am, caught in it again. It sucks. I WANT MY TINKER BELL JACKET AND MY LEMUR!!!

Fourth block, I was still shaky. However, I had English with Frau Claypool, and there’s so many amusing people in her class that I can’t stay upset for long. We were practicing Greek roots, and Frau Claypool used them to make a bunch of words up that we had to guess the meanings of. One of her words was hedonecroxenometry, and nobody could figure out what it meant. Everyone offered suggestions from what we knew, which was this: hedon=pleasure, necro=dead, xeno=foreign, and metry=the art of measuring. The answer was the pleasure of measuring dead, foreign people, but the funniest suggestion was one Michael Terril made. He suggested “the foreign part of measuring dead pleasure.” OMG! Now think about that!

I haven’t heard from Korean all day. I wonder if he’s alive.

I came home, and I started to work on my English research paper. I have 5o more fact cards to write out, and I accidentally turned in my blank index cards to Ms. Claypool. Now I’m stuck cramming it all in last minute. Oh, well. I shouldn’t have homework tomorrow. Oh, but wait…church. OK. Yeah. I’ll be doing the cramming. Oh well. I’ll get it done one way or the other.

Nothing else important happened today. I can remember. I’ll be going now. Peace out!!!

The song on my heart of the day:

MAINTAIN CONCIOUSNESS

Relient K (again)


Our concentration it contains a deadly flaw

our conversations change from words to blah, blah blah

we took prescription drugs but look how much good that did

well I think I had a point, but I just got distracted


Lately it just seems to me

like we've got the letters A.D.D.

branded into our mentality

we simply can't focus on anything

because its17, 18, 19 routine and here at 23 it's the same old me

and that one thing of the moment

that we all happen to like will

only very temporarilykinda break the cycle

of the double edged sword

of being lazy and being bored

we just want more and more and more

till it's all we can afford


to keep our eyes open for just one more day

to keep on hoping that we'll stumble on our way

to keep our minds open for just one more day

cause its completely up to usto maintain consciousness


well no one can possibly listen to this

more than 4 reps is just monotonous

we're losing interest, losing interest, losing interest


because its17, 18, 19 routine

even here at 23 it's the same old me

and that one thing of the moment

that we all happen to like will

only very temporarilykinda break the cycle

of the double edged sword

of being lazy and being bored

we just want more and more and more

till it's all we can afford


to keep our eyes open for just one more day

to keep on hoping that we'll stumble on our way

to keep our minds open for just one more day

cause its completely up to usto maintain consciousness


to keep our eyes open for just our more day

to keep on hoping that we'll stumble on our way

to keep our minds open for just one more day

cause its completely up to us

to maintain consciousness

What's the Consolation Prize?



If you know me at all, you know that this is NOT something I would do. Last night, I received a PIX message from a number I did not have in my phone. I knew, however that it was Paull's, because he tried texting me before and Jordan told me who it was and I didn't reply. My ex-boyfriend Landon and I traded lemurs, and he was supposed to give that and my Tinker Bell jacket to Jordan to give to me, but he didn't and I got this message from his retarded friend. I think it was Landon who did this, because it was a foreward. Anyway, I tried to convince Paull he had the wrong number, but that failed miserably. Grr. You know, I have the perfect idea for revenge. I'm not going to do it, because I wouldn't want to sink to their level. I have Landon's trumpet. I could take a picture of one of my friends pretending to play it with his/her butt. Megan would be ideal, because she makes a good constipated face. Wow. That would be horrible of me, and I'm not going to do it, but when I thought of it, I cracked up.

Well, I don't have much time to write more. I'll leave you today with the song on my heart of the day:

I SO HATE CONSEQUENCES
Relient K
And I'm good, good, good to go, And I'm good, good, good to go
I got to get away, get away from all of my mistakes[ repeat ]
So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get byI don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Whoaa! Consequences
God, don’t make me face up to this
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Cause I know that I let you down
And I don’t want to deal with that
And I'm good, good, good to go And I'm good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes
It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn’t get that
And every trace of momentum is gone
And this isn’t turning out the way I want
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get byI don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Whoaa! Consequences
God, don’t make me face up to this
And I so hate consequencesAnd running from you is what my best defense is
Cause I know that I let you down
And I don’t want to deal with that
And I spent all last night
Tearing down
Every stoplight
And stop sign in this town
Now I think there might
Be no way to stop me now
I'll get away despite
The fact I’m so weighed down
All of my escapes have been exhausted
I thought I had a way but then I lost it
And my resistance was once much stronger
And I know I can't go on like this much longer
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was more
The love I’d wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no I told you so’s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
I hate these consequences
Cause i know that i let you down,and i don't wanna deal with that

Content in the Same Old Schtick Again



Back to school today. Nothing really happens at school. I HATE school.

Yesterday was the extreme YOOTS night. It's where the people of the youth group get together for kickball and dodgeball. It was fun! This one guy was trying to throw a tennis ball at some other guy, and he hit me hard in the stomach instead. It was larger than the average tennis ball, so it hurt. However, I cracked up when I got hit. I'm not a pansy. He kept apologizing. It was hilarious. I kept telling him I thought it was hilarious, but he still continued to apologize. I just won't tell him about the bruise that was on my stomach later X-D.

So...this morning...In Hansford's we talked about our winter break. I told about going over to the M's house and them taking me out for my birthday. I liked listening to Jason talk. He's funny in the smart guy way. He's totally awesome! In second block, which is German with Claypool, we learned the der-Tabelle. I already knew it, so I was going around "helping" people with theirs. Third block, we actually played music (winds ensemble with Mr. Hoffecker). I found out later that All East Senior Clinic auditions would be in KNOXVILLE, and the practice/performances would be in GATLINGBURG!!! I can't do that! I payed the money to audition and everything, just to find out it would cost more money. I thought it would be in the Chattanooga area. This totally sucks. Fourth Block is Hansford again...I did absolutely nothing. I got on the internet and chatted with Jordan and I wrote out this blog. Ha.
I hope I find my Tinker Bell pen... :-( I had it first and when I went to write in second, I didn't have it. I either put it in my locker or someone in Ms. Hansford's third stole it. I'll cry if I don't find it. I love that pen!!!
Oh, good news!!! Ms. Claypool is going to let me take an easier topic for my research paper!!! Instead of doing Grimm's Law, I'm simply going to do my report on the Grimm Brothers. Grimm's Law is a bunch of linguistic stuff that Jakob Grimm discovered about relationships between words in different languages. The problem is, I don't know enough about linguistics to understand their lingo. Ha ha. Linguistic lingo. That's hilarious. I talked to her about it, and now I can focus on their fairy tales. That's my favorite thing about them. Hooray for the Grimms!!! ^_^
Well, I shall indulge you tommorrow, if I get the chance. You'll only know of half my day though, becuase I'll only be able to post during lunch.
Tchüss!!!
