I want to be forever young.

Aaargh I kind of hate that song. Whenever I hear it on Jack or something, I keep thinking of Mormon dances and Napoleon Dynamite.
A snow day!!! I was so convinced it wasn't going to be one (I've stopped looking out my window in case of disappointment). But it was. Yeaaaah.
I shouldn't be this excited, but I'm planning on making a new Sims 2 neighborhood full of Princess Diaries characters. Eeee. Sooo much drama. Only I'm not sure where everyone's going to live, because Mia has a million friends and I don't want to create individual families for all of them. I'm thinking JP, Ling Su, Perin, Lana, Josh, and Tina will all live with Principal Gupta.
At least I'm not making a Harry Potter neighborhood. Where would all the Weasleys live? Although Fred IS dead now, and Percy, Bill, and Charlie no longer live at home....
I just realized that George married Angelina, who I always thought would end up with Fred. Doesn't that make her off limits? No respect for the dead.

Agony enjoys tormenting the nonathletic.

But there's an Ipod on the cover! It must be good!
My little brother's watching "Flight of the Navigator". :P That movie blew my four-year-old mind. IAnd not in a good way.
For the first time this year, I'm really hoping I don't make the basketball team. I'm really doubting that I will anyway (seeing as my legs are still sore from a 2 hour practice; so much for running every day), but that will free up my Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can possibly play with the worship team. Dad said they sometimes have a horn section. Noyce. And they really like bass players? I can sort of only play "The Bitter Uprising" (and barely), but hey.
Do do do do do.
Hm. I was trying to decide which Harry Potter I liked best. So I made a list.
1. The Goblet of Fire
2. The Prisoner of Azkaban
3. The Chamber of Secrets
4. The Sorceror's Stone
5. The Deathly Hallows
6. The Order of the Phoenix
7. The Half-Blood Prince (for some reason I really hated this one)

The Classic Crime's "Albatross" is like my favorite CD right now.

Patrick Stump's dad is an actor?

Major spoilers for National Treasure 2. If you care. Which you shouldn't. Because it REALLY sucked. Seriously. These spoilers could save your life. And your wallet. Is this movie worth $7.50? I think not.
Dang it, Nathan!!! He saw "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets" with his friends and said it was AWESOME, so my mom took me to see it on base, and it pretty much sucked.
AAAAARGH, Helen Mirren (statement revised due to complaints made by the author's mother) has larger bosoms than I do!!! They're all taut and apple-y like they're supposed to be in the prime of your youth! And she's like 80!!! She and Jon Voight have absolutely NO chemistry whatsoever. She's a pretty good actress (kind of creepy....), but Jon Voight wasn't even trying. How is he Angelina Jolie's father??? Argh, he annoys me, and he never realized his phone had been cloned.
Nicolas Cage can't act, either, and he has a widow's peak. Not that that's a bad thing. Ian Mckellan (sp?) has one, too, but he's a better actor.
I never liked that stupid Abigail girl. I kept screaming internally, "DITCH HER! DITCH HER!"
Riley was probably the best character. Added semi-obvious-but-still-fairly-funny comic relief. And he's still pretty cute.
OMG, opening scene when John Wilkes Booth propositions Thomas Gates? Wait, let me rephrase that, because that statement sounded sexual. Whatever, I'll leave it. But you know that scene? Am I the only one who finds Thomas Gates really attractive??? He looked like an older 1856 version of Patrick Stump. Too bad he died after 5 minutes. At least he saved his country. His son was super annoying, as are all little boys in action movies. Or any movie.
Waaaait, I'm still confused; how did finding the City of Gold prove that Thomas Gates wasn't a conspirator in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln? City of Gold...diary page with Thomas Gates' name on it...ABSOLUTELY NO CORRELATION.
And the bad guy? Way too Southern for my taste. And how did he go, in the last few minutes, from, "Ben Gates must sacrifice himself or I'll kill his girlfriend," to, "I'll sacrifice myself to save you, your parents, your pretty cute/nerdy assistant, and your girlfriend as long as you give me credit for finding the City of Gold." And he gets crushed by the door? And you see his body? But they wanted the door closed? And his body got in the way? MAKES NO SENSE!
And the City of Gold suddenly has no water/waterfalls once the President is on the scene? Ooooookay.
EW, Randy Travis was at the president's birthday party!!! I would NOT have voted that guy into the Oval Office. He was probably a Democrat, lol. But as soon as I saw Randy Travis, I kept thinking about "The Wager", and how saving a little boy from his mom's abusive boyfriend was MORE IMPORTANT THAN WINNING AN OSCAR!!!!
"I'm sorry I screwed your entire family over, Benjamin Gates, but I wanted to make my mark on history."
The clues didn't really make any sense in this one. And the action was pretty lame, because Nicolas Cage was always the last one and they'd be like, "He won't make it," but it's Nicolas Cage, and without him, THERE IS NO MOVIE.
So yeah, I pretty much loved it. Sort of. I'd buy the DVD just for the opening scene and Patrick Stump's dad.
Enough of that.
There was a study session at Jessica's house today, and her dog randomly licked us and slapped Kevin's butt??? But we got a lot of the math packet done. And then we harassed Connor and ate pizza.
Kedino!!
Is there a reason people think Noon Day Sun is a rap group??? Three emolicious girls with guitars and a Pete Wentzish bass player don't exactly scream, "Hip-hop."
I just used the word emolicious.
I'm going to hell.
Pretty much.
I bought a Brian Dixen band CD!!!

Wait...so all I ever learned in kindergarden doesn't apply to real life?

So she tells me she's done, and I apologize, and that's it? I'm confused. It made for an awkward car ride, but now we're not talking, with me undeniably in the wrong. I just feel bad, because I'm a moron. And lacking in maturity. Where exactly do I go from here?
So, tired of reading the emotional ramblings of an annoying teenager yet?
Hm. Don't blame you.
Heath Ledger died yesterday.
I need to learn how to drive pronto.
And possibly get a car, but that won't happen anytime soon.

C'est pas rigolo!

I'm already in politics. Ha ha.
EMO SPRAY!!!
Aaargh, it's REALLY bugging me now. Mrs. Sims told us about Japan one-upping us again and making it possible to read books (in shorthand) on your cellphone. Holy crap. Doesn't that majorly effect (I still don't know the difference between affect and effect. I'M SORRY.) the book industry, and thriving businesses like Barnes & Nobles? A good portion of their customers have cellphones, and if a good portion of THAT good portion decided to access a shorthand version on their Sidekick rather than buy it for $10.99 at their latest book store, the book stores are screwed, because doesn't the money go to the phone companies rather than the publishers? Or even the authors? Or am I just stupid?
That's why William thinks I need to go into politics.
But I'm already in politics.
And I already said that.
Argh. It's just because I understand "Animal Farm" now.
I was right: Snowball represents Trotsky, not Lenin (yeah, Paul). Napoleon represents Stalin, whose secret police (the KGB, or the guard dogs. Whichever you prefer) chased Trotsky into Mexico (where he was later assassinated, but that is not mentioned in the book). Marx (Old Major) had a semi-good idea that unfortunately involved oppression, so the people (animals) overthrew the Czar (Mr. Jones; is "overthrew" even a word?) and tried to create a society where there was pure economic equality (communism, which sucks).
Yeah. I feel enlightened. Russia is awesome.
Which brings the Beatles to mind.
"Back in the USSR, you don't know how lucky you are."
Breaking news? "Rawr. Rawr. Awww. Oh, we're live."

And I thought I needed serious mental help....

O.o
I like how all I ever do now is read Harry Potter, look up Sims 2 videos, and blog.
When I'm not at school, anyways.
AAargh. I want to watch a Harry Potter karaoke party. REALLY BAD.
Hm.
Still trying to convince myself to grow a spine.
Math is pretty amazing.
And I'm pretty sure I passed the science test.
Apparently I'm a Romance Sim. That sort of depresses me.
I'm not sure if I should be worried or laughing....
Dododododododo.
Hey, tomorrow's Thursday.
Crap.

You don't even know!

There are some things that 15 hasn't quite changed, but it's all good. Heh. My mom, trying to learn my innermost secrets. She doesn't even know.
Cheesecake Factory is pretty cool.
Bacon sandwiches sound really good.
I'm rereading the Harry Potter series. AGAIN. On book 2, and almost done.
Aargh, so I bought this book at Barnes and Nobles, and I'd heard it was pretty good and trendy and what not, but I read the first chapter, and it's so annoying. "Freshmen year? Omg! Best day eva!" Which is exactly how I talk. But the plot is so obvious: two best friends grow apart because the bubbly, extroverted blonde (Marnie) becomes popular, and her loser, shy, brunette friend (Nola) becomes a nerd. -_-
I'm proud to play the trombone, for various reasons. Hee.
This is the coolest Sims 2 music video I've ever seen.

But over 5 million people have switched to Vonage?

I think I'm an uptalker. No, seriously.
That's not really a bad thing, but if it means I sound like that lady on the Vonage commercial, I might just kill myself. She would always smile in that infuriating way and she had way ugly bangs.
Aaargh. The youngest child in the family should not be able to tattle. Especially if they're over the age of 10. But youngest children of all ages seem to get away with tattling and crocodile tears more often than not.
Oldest children: Grow up to be control-freaks.
Middle children: Grow up to be mopey Eeyore-like adults.
Youngest children: Grow up to be spoiled, dependent adults.
So I'm on the right track.
It's hard having a people-person as a mom when you yourself are semi-antisocial. Right. 6 people were killed on Christmas Eve and I'm bemoaning my mother's wish for me to attend youth group.
I guess I'm in a bad mood today.
I did watch a good movie last night, though. "The Terminal" with Tom Hanks is SOOO amazing. Tom Hanks is one of the coolest actors on the planet. I loved the little Indian guy, and Emerson from "Pushing Daisies" was in it. I don't get how Enriquez and Doris got married, because she didn't even know him, yet she agrees to his marriage proposal. "She's a Trekkie!" So Catherine Zeta-Jones was basically a nympho? So not worth it. You can do better, Victor. I thought, when Gupta started running towards the plane, he was on some sort of suicide mission.
If you've never seen a 70-year-old Indian man running toward a jet, you have not lived.

Democracy is a good idea (and good entertainment!)

OMG!!!! I SAW "27 DRESSES"! I READ "PRINCESS MIA"! I FINISHED "MAXIMUM RIDE: SAVING THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS"!!!!! In other words, a good Saturday.
So "27 Dresses" was pretty good, but sort of really depressing. James Marsden is growing on me, but I've seen at least 6 of his movies in the past 6 months. I really like Katherine Heigl. "Don't you have needs?" "Nope. I'm Jesus." EW, the boss guy was SOOOO creepy and the little sister was such a slut. And she treated Jane like crap the entire movie, and she never really owned up to it. "You ruined my wedding!" "You based your entire relationship on lies!" "...but you ruined my wedding! Because you're jealous of me!" My favorite part in the whole movie was when Jane tells her best friend Casey and Casey screams, "That selfish whore!!" during yoga. I don't know what Jane's problem was; I liked some of the dresses, especially the one from that "goth" girl's wedding. White wedding dresses suck.
I love Maximum Ride!!! It was sort of confusing, but shocking and amazing and Max is Mexican?? That's cool. Wings? Mega boys? Ari becomes a good guy and wears plaid? So cute, I love Ari. I would so make out with Fang in a cave. I'm going to check out his "blog". No ways, it's real! Awesome. I sort of really hate Total. Fang and Max = sooo cute.
Dang it, Fang, why'd you have to call him "Billy" Shakespeare?
OMG, "PRINCESS MIA" IS THE BEST PRINCESS DIARIES EVER!!!
I THINK MY JP THEORY IS RIGHT!!! w00t!!! I underestimated Meg Cabot. So Mia spends like 50 pages brooding over Michael (loser), but it gets better. And there's actually a plot. I like Mia's therapist. Lilly is such a *see above on 27 dresses*. J.P. is pretty much the most amazing boy in the world. Mia's sort of clueless. Okay, really clueless. And Kenny blows up the school. Ha. Not even lying.
JP: ...there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time now, and every time I start to, something seems to happen to interrupt me, so I'm just going to say it now, even though this might not be the ideal moment. And I know you're going to freak out now, because that's what you do. So put down your pen and take a deep breath. Mia, I'm in love with you. I know up until now we've been just friends - good friends - but I want more than that. And I think you do, too.
Awww. I almost started crying, no lies. This was worse than that one episode of "Ugly Betty" where Gio hugs Betty and he looks so happy, but she doesn't even notice!!!, because Mia's just like, "Crap, Kenny blew up the building! Gotta go, J.P.!" She kisses him at the end. Awwww. For once in my life, I don't know what's going to happen. I bet it's going to be a showdown between Michael and JP. I don't know about you, but I'm voting JP.
I hadn't realized he doesn't normally wear jeans. I always pictured him wearing jeans. Just saying.

3 day weekend...who cares about the 60's?

I love assemblies. The MLK was splendid. The powerpoint was pretty effective and our speeches went well. I had my doubts about the new diversity monument, but it turned out really cool. I love this shirt. YOUnity.
So I finally got my ASB picture retaken. But it turns out I didn't even NEED my ASB T-shirt. Lies, lies.
I love pep band. So great. Only "Another One Bites the Dust" isn't that great. Not so fun to play.
OMG, I finally got "Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports". I'm waiting to read it. The fourth one comes out in March!! w00t!
I can spell 'youtube' now!
I DO NOT like Robert Plant.
Math is okay. When I understand.
Skipping science? Pretty cool. I hope Mr. Barry excuses my absence, though. I hate the pink slips. And I had to skip for ASB reasons, not because I wanted to smoke pot with my friends.
Dogs are nice. That one was, too.

Thursday, January 17, 2008

Hee hee heeeeeee, now I know why it's my favorite song!!

Wow. My favorite songs are often prophetic. Let's hope this one will be....
"Um, hi, I don't know your name, but I couldn't help but notice that you're really beautiful and I'm sort of in love with you."
Ha ha ha. That would be amazing.
That so reminds me of the part where Vanessa meets that bartender in "Gossip Girl". Awww, so cute.
I read "Wolfcry" and it was not bad. The ending was weirdish. Well, I say weird because it conflicted with my morality, but honestly I just wanted both characters to be happy at the end. And it was pretty predictable; how could they not end up together? [Spoiler warning]: I don't know, though. Is abdicating your throne and running off with a girl a real solution? It worked, and it seemed right, and she found rulers for both thrones (Salem, a cool kid, and Sive, a not so cool kid), but I don't know. It seemed way sad. And her parents were way mean about it. It was kind of weird, because I wouldn't have thought of that as a solution. But I guess Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is different. "If you can't decide which guy to marry...abdicate and marry a girl!" [/Spoiler Warning]
The next one, "Wyverhail", came out recently (I think), but it doesn't look good. Hai, my LEAST favorite character, has to take the throne. Whaaaaaaaat? What happened to Salem? Dang. He's going to die. Or something. I HATE HAI.
DUDE my birthday was so amazing. I got a new stereo!!! With an Ipod-dock!!! Yay! I also have an *sparkly* emo sweater and some new pajamas. w00t.
I'm thinking about making an Avalon playlist.
Ugh, school was not so good today. I don't know why I suck so much at math!!! I got a 62% on the last test!!! Aaargh!! Everyone says I have test anxiety, but isn't their some anxiety involved with that? I NEVER feel anxious for tests. Even if I haven't studied, I feel confident. I took that math test, I only left 2 questions blank, but the rest I KNEW. I KNEW the answers.
And I got 19 questions wrong.
Crap.
So I got really emo, but I have really cool friends that cheered me up, and Mr. Faxon gave me the trombone part for "Another One Bites the Dust", so hey.

Muffin of misery

Aujourd'hui est mon anniversaire!!! J'ai quinze ans. Je ne donne pas une fete pour mon anniversaire.
I love school! And I'm so glad it didn't snow today! My mom and I took muffins to jazz band. Partly because they're delicious. And partly to make a point.
I sort of really like the song "My Friend of Misery". I used to hate it. Why is that? Dunno.
Oh, and "Struggle Within".
Monica is a cool kid. I'm sort of understanding science, though I don't really listen all the time. Mr. Henrichsen got a new windbreaker...but he needs to gain at least 100 pounds for it to fit.
Lol, "American Idol" was on last night, and it was pretty intense. The first guy was SOOO good, and I hope he wins, but he probably won't seeing as only the beautiful people make it past the first round. And what happened to Melinda last year? She easily had the most talent. And LaToya London of season 3? What happened to her? She also should have won. The Star Wars girl scared the crap out of me. And she was REALLY ANNOYING. That one Alexis girl was high.
Do do do. I'm seeing a big difference between last year and this year. I don't know, it's just weird to me. Nice, though. Freshman year is pretty much amazing.
Amanda wrote a really cool story about Dan the Racist. Only she changed his name from Rudy to Dan!!! "I'll be C, for Charlie! You can be A for Allen. There's no 'T' in 'Chad', Trevor, so you can be 'H' for homo." "Aw man!"

PS I love you

Red velvet...it's like eating an ugly but delicious-tasting kitten.

I just started "White Fang" and am more than halfway through already. White Fang is sort of messed up. I know he's quite wolfish (at least a quarter wolf blood), but all he does is kill things and hate people. He ate a kitten once. It sounded kind of gross and sad, because I love kittens and I could hear it purring, but kind of good at the same time, seeing as I am attracted to all things meat.
Connor stepped on my shoes and I was like, "Rawr!"
Connor, Kevin, and I are going to play "Winnie the Pooh" together. Yeah.
I made hot dogs for aliens and New Yorkers yesterday.
Online, of course.
I hate Mondays.
"Animal Farm" is great. Too bad I've already read it.

Friday, January 11, 2008

I need to pee and my arm hurts.

Just keeping it simple.
5 MORE DAYS.
Hurry up, Hannah Montana!
ROFL I got a Toothtunes toothbrush. It plays "Best of Both Worlds", which makes me laugh hysterically. It's sort of lame, because instead of going into the keychange, they just repeat the same chorus over and over. Way obvious.
I do it my way!! YOW!
I wanted to buy the Pooh Bears with the rubber outfits, but I don't have any money. I'll get some pretty soon, though. As soon as I do, I'm running to Skateland and buying 15 of those things. So cute.
Avril Lavigne is my alter ego?
Okay, the first time I went to OEFC's youth group, I cried for like 20 minutes cuz I was so freaking nervous. So last night, I was going to go, but I started getting really nervous, and begging my mom to let me stay home, so that by the time I got to the church, I was freaking out. Yeah. Ended up turning around and going home and watching "King of Queens" all night long.
Little Debbie Double Chocolate Swiss Rolls. BUY SOME.
A bunch of my friends went home sick. :(
I passed the math quiz! 11/13!!
Then Connor was all, "13/13!!"
-_-
Connor, Kevin, and I want to make a trio for solo ensemble. We're planning on playing an arrangement of "Winnie the Pooh". I forgot the words. Something about a "tumbly, tumbly, silly bear".

The nature of...bubbly teenage girls that don't wear pink?

Today was sort of an off day. I've been in a perpetually bad mood. It started with me waking up too early because I thought there was jazz band, but forgot it was a Thursday. I did like seeing the slush outside, though. It snowed...AGAIN! It snowed on Tuesday, too, which was pretty much amazing. We got more snow than Seabeck! Bam!
Argh, it started with that stupid "Becoming Beka" book. You know I hate Christian fiction, and when I started reading, found it boring, and then found out it was Christian fiction, I should have just put it down. Even if it had been a normal book about depression and anger, it was badly written, I did NOT sympathize with Beka, and the Christian aspect just made things worse. It made non-Christians seems all the same: slutty, sarcastic alchoholics that have horrible relationships with everyone around them, and Christians seemed perfect. ??? That's not how it is, and I loved how they pointed that out towards the end of the book, but it was kind of like, "*cough cough* Hypocrite! *cough cough*" And I know that when people become Christians, they often say, "I'm a totally different person now." I know what that means, and I think it's cool, but non-Christian Beka and Christian Beka seemed like two totally different people. I know people change, and that God changes people, but it honestly seemed like the author got bored with delinquent Beka and wrote a new version of her. And Beka questioning other people's hearts and asking why they didn't wear "I love Jesus" T-shirts to school was considered a good thing???
Then I got fired up about a book my mom got on how pop culture stereotypes little girls and is stealing their childhood, but I'll only say a little on that: why is it that girls can't be all girly now? I realize the whole "prep" stereotype and that it comes down to either preppies or losers, but if my little girl was interested in clothes more so than sports and running in the dirt, WHY IS THAT BAD? It's not necessarily the media; EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT! And they kept harping on pink and how girly-girl's and femininity was bad and sporty girls are good. Stereotype much? I also sort of took it personally. I like shopping and boys, and they called me a slut. Hello? I don't wear pink. Thanks.
Orange Tootsie Pops are therapeutic, I think.
Agh, it's like I've been getting mad at everything lately, AND IT'S NOT PMS!!! You can feel like crap and be in a bad mood and NOT HAVE IT BE PMS! I'm living proof, seeing as I'm in a bad mood practically all the time, not just every 28 days. Rethinking youth group tonight, because I want to make a good impression, and I don't want to bite anyone's head off.
And I don't think I'll fit in, but hey. I gotta go sometime.

Baby, baby

"Congo" was made into a movie! I'd like to maybe see it, but people get their skulls crushed with giant paddles. Um, what? That's not something I'd like to see. Whoa, I didn't know Munro was black. I HATE KAREN ROSS! The book was okay, but the end was kind of lame. I thought there would be more gorillaness and death. Ooooh, Munro was white in the book. Thought so. Michael Crichton is a genius.
So I'm head of the Talent Show comittee now?
Because I love cookie dough ice cream?
But the Honors Society meeting went well today. We broke the talent show into chunks and had people sign up for different things. Yaaay, I get to be an MC. :P
I got fudge 5th period. Bam.
Oh, and peanut clusters. But I couldn't eat very many. Curse you, Hein.
I went to Amanda's house, where she proceeded to beat me with blunt objects while Kevin insulted me via the telephone.
French: make your family tree. Ooookay.
I got a candy cane. Thank you???

That's not all we shared.

"Temple of Doom" was definitely the worst Indiana Jones, but "The Last Crusade" ruined the entire trilogy for me. And he and his father screwed the same girl?? Whaat?? And it's justified, because "they're only human". I'm sorry, but that's disgusting.
Do do do do. I watched the last half of "Pride and Prejudice" (the good one with Colin Firth, not that joke with Keira Knightley) and it was all right, but I hate Jane, Lydia is a slut, Miss Bingley looks like that unibrow girl from "Dodgeball", and Mr. Bingley is way too jocular to live.
"The Wish List" by Eoin Colfer is a really good book. The theology is messed up, but it's really clever and so much better than the lame "Artemis Fowl" series. One of the best books I've read in a long time.
I've read 4 good books in a row. Huh. Then I decided to finish the Christmas themed Madison Finn and plowed through Pony Pal #31. Neither was very satisfying. Actually, the Madison Finn book was good because there was so much drama and the creepy stalker Drew kid was in it a lot.
"I'm going to Switzerland. Does anyone else want to go to Switzerland??"
I'm still addicted to White Rabbits. I ate 4/5 of a package today. That's not right.
Church was cool today. There was a potluck after church for new families, and they decorated everything to look like a 50's diner, and we got free burgers while "Happy Days" played in the background. Pretty sweet. The worship pastor was really nice and came over and talked to us. He told my favorite drummer joke and seemed to know a lot about music. Good man. He said I could probably play with the worship team because they need a bass or a trombone. Sweeet. Although basketball is starting soon and that will eat up most of my Tuesdays (band practice) and Thursdays (youth group). Oh well. I'm going to youth group on Thursday. Not as apprehensive as before. YEssss.

All I want for Christmas is a singing possum.

Steven Spielberg is a racist git.

Okay, I know many might disagree, but "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. Even if you have demons on your side, it's anatomically impossible to rip out someone's heart. And the special effects were SO FAKE! I don't care if it was 1984, the High Priest was ripping into rubber, not flesh, and everyone could tell. I was hoping for something at least a little scarier. And why would all those Indian people agree to be in it? It was SO RACIST! Indians eat curry, not snakes, and lentils, not chilled monkey brains. Way to go, Steven Spielberg. Someone needs a lesson in filmmaking.
"Were you and Trudy...intimate?"
"We held hands A LOT. Sometimes we woke up and found we'd been holding hands all night."
"Yes, but was there anything besides holding hands?"
"Look at the time, I need to go!"
I read two pretty good books: "Going Under", by Kathe Koje, and "Face", but Benjamin Zechariah. I saw the first one and was like, "EVANESCENCE SONG!" And there was what I thought was an apple with pills inside on the cover. Turns out it was a pomegranate spilling pomegranate seeds, because the whole focus of the book was the Persephone myth. So sad. I thought Ivan was going to commit suicide.
Okay, if I'd been in a car accident and had my face horribly disfigured, and my boyfriend started acting like a jerk and cheating on me, I would kill him. But that was not the lesson to be learned in "Face". The main character took the high road and insulted her to her face. Pwned.
I love my shoes. Paul doesn't like my shoes, but he has spinners. "4 and 9 and 0 and 10 and 7 and 6 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 4 and 8 and...."

I can feel you all around me

I heard that song on the radio the other day, and I sort of liked it, but for the most part it way got on my nerves.
Yay, wearing new jeans as well as shoes. You have no idea how GOOD it feels to be able to slip off my shoes whenever, instead of wearing stupid Converse that take forever to lace up. They're really comfortable, too. If I'd known that, I would've bought a pair a LONG time ago, instead of writing them off as "emo shoes" while I was secretly obsessed with them.
Mr. Henrichsen was at school today. He's not bad as a teacher, but I miss Mr. Campbell. I understood the text, though, which is new. I guess taking notes does help? I understood math, too. This is definitely a bad omen, but it was pretty fun. We had to figure out how some teacher in Alaska could do math tricks. Pretty shweet.
Pre-AP was pretty cool, because we didn't have to do any work, but we had to listen to a guest speaker, which was pretty unbearable. :P He was very confusing and I couldn't really see any point in his coming. First he was telling us that you need to stick with school, then he told us that school doesn't matter because you need to work hard, and working hard you can do anything, but THEN he said none of that mattered cuz life sucks. Um, WHAT???
They made Thursdays 5 minutes longer. That doesn't seem like a long time, but those were some pretty agonizing 5 minutes. I was all done with my science notes at 12:30, but thanks to the extra 5 minutes, I had to take even more. Curse you.
So science AND math homework, but it's easy, and someone found "Congo" for me. How nice. I'd been wanting to read it over break, but I guess I left it at school. All right then. I'm still on page 79, lol.

Vans reminiscent of Oggy

EEEE I HAVE NEW SHOES!!! How positively girly of me to say. Whatever. I love them. They're my first pair of Vans: black with pink puppies. And I bought some jeans, so now I actually have stuff to wear. I don't care if it's stereotypical of women or demeaning to our gender, but I love shopping. It's therapuetic. We also bought stuff for my dad. I picked out a shirt AND tie for him, but I really don't think he liked it. Oh well.
Yeah. That's basically all I did today, besides read "The Magician's Nephew" and ravage a package of White Rabbits. I can't wait to wear my new shoes. And jeans. But there was this amazing belt I saw and now I can't find it. It's the phantom belt. I saw that one girl eyeing it enviously as I admired it the last time I was in there. I bet she took it.
Sims 2 Stuff Pack: Teen Style? Looks amazing. I haven't actually created a teen character yet. Or an elder. I'll add one to my brand new neighborhood. I think I'll create a Harry Potter family, but I'm torn: create him as a teen, or create him married to Ginny already with a family? Time will tell, I guess....
