I couldn't make a decision like that on an empty stomach

Now that I've reinstalled and figured out how to play the Sims (I knew before...never mind), I'm ashamed to admit I've become a tiny bit addicted. Apparently, when you have a two people of the opposite sex in the same house, the game assumes they're already married. When there are more than 6 people (3 guys, 3 girls), the game assumes certain characters are gay, roomies, or polygamous. Something is wrong with Sims moral issues. So I'm trying to play without tripping over any of this stuff. But thanks to this realization, I know how to get Sims married, even tho I had to delete one of my awesomest families to do it. :( But I keep proposing when they're all in bad moods. Grrrr... But I've heard the move_objects on code gives you instant marriage if you delete their bed or something... No kids so far. Except Billabob Jr. (still a baby) and Cassandra (YOU MUST DIE!). I'm thinking about buying an expansion pack, but I have no money and am saving up for like 20 CDs you can find cheap at Walmart. DEMON HUNTER RULES!!!
I probably have to go in like 20 minutes. But I'll stay on for now and put my shoes on later.
Totino pizza rolls taste gross when you first eat them, but every time after that they are the most delicious things on this planet. I've had about 45 in the past 3 or so days. Yum. But mine were spurting sauce and didn't look so appetizing.
I had apple pie for lunch. I don't even like apple pie. So I ate half and put the rest on the table (it was on a plate, no duh, I'm not THAT stupid).
8 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT!!!!! Actually, according to the principal, there's only 6 days of school left (they don't count the last day or field day). But I have a half day on the last day! EEEEEEE 10:30 RELEASE I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!
I have "Danny Boy" ("LONDONDERRY AIR"!!) pretty much memorized. There are some chords that are a little iffy, but I can fix them by tomorrow afternoon. I hope. But I'm not wearing a skirt over jeans for the recital anymore. No. I'm just wearing a SKIRT. Ew. *shudders* I'd like some ice cream. Preferrably some of that double fudge brownie I had last night.

One by one the penguins take away my sanity...

If I had a therapist, I would like to sit in the waiting room and play Barbies. But only if the therapist had some Kens. I mean, seriously, you're there for traumatic sessions discussing your sanity and Barbies are very relaxing. And you could make crime scenes. Then again, that's why I need a therapist...
AAAAAAAAAAH it was soooo annoying, YESTERDAY Blogger had the dumb glitch that took forever to fix, so I couldn't blog, and then I wanted to today but my mom took me shopping for my recital and I'm just going to wear a really scary buttonish purple skirt over jeans. Whatever. We're good.
School is busy. The Dog project is finished and Naked the dog is currently on the cover of mine. Today they served burgers (on WHEAT BUNS), chicken, and hot dogs (not Kosher: no thanks) instead of pizza. :( The chicken tasted okay, but was rubbery and tasted a little bit like a turkey sandwhich on French bread. Which isn't good. There goes my lunch. So I just ate half of that and two sugar cookies. Yay. Sugar.
Mrs. Moon suggested I wear a skirt and look nice on my first day of eighth grade so I can make a nice impression on my (apparently) non-humor appreciating teachers. Then she said I could always come back to her room if they were mean. Me: Yeah, I can always roll on your floor. Don't ask.
AAAAAAAAAAH MY SIMS WON'T GET MARRIED! AAAAAAAH!
Soooooo......that's basically it. One by one the penguins take away my sanity...

GAAAAAAAAH

AAAAAAAAAAAH the CD I made last night MESSED UP cuz I somehow took off songs I WANTED ON THERE!!!! IT'S SO WEIRD!!!! I KNOW I put "That's my jam" on "I think I hurt my jam", BUT IT'S NOT THERE! And the songs I DID take off ARE. NYAAAAAH! My cpu is dumb. And my other CD ("Peanut Butter Jelly Time Mix") has "Superstar" on it TWICE, when I know I put "Living on a prayer" there. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA AND WINDOWS?
I still can't figure out how to get a picture. I had an awesome one of a duck on paint, but I can't put it on there. Lame-o.
Okay, if you're trying to tell someone they're "distracting" many people, make sure "many" people are actually distracted. Cuz Toni and I were working on our dog project and Toni drew a scary picture of a raccoon dog that looked possessed, so we were laughing, and then Billy and Walker starts laughing, and the teacher assumes it's all my fault and zeroes in. "Get out of my classroom, you are out of control and you're distracting people." Not really. No one was paying attention cuz we're not exactly popular, THANKS. And then I was listening to Herman's story about his sister and I laughed; not loud, not obnoxious, AND SHE SENDS ME OUT AGAIN! She's doing this on purpose. If something is funny, I'm obviously insane and need to be punished. Grrr...
We had this "ice cream party" during study hall, but they served melty frozen yogurt and poured chocolate syrup on people's shirts (the staff. I swear, it's true), so it wasn't worth it. But we got to skip study hall (most boring class I have) to eat crappy yogurt and talk to friends.
I'm gluttonous. Oops.
Erg, I have to memorize "Danny Boy" ("Londenderry Air", whatever) by Sunday and I'm DOOMED. I don't even know what to do when I get up there. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAY A PIECE I HARDLY KNOW (scratch that, 3 pieces) IN FRONT OF THE CONGREGATION OF MY CHURCH (actually, I did that this Sunday, but I knew that piece really well and it wasn't as hard...I think). *sigh* I hate recitals. And then I was having depressing thoughts earlier. I think I'm suicidal. Then again, I'm Christian. Christians can't be suicidal. *ray of hope* *disappears* I kind of like being depressed. Oh well. Someone needs a Bible study...

"L-l-larry." "Little Larry. Get up here!"

So the cable guy was at my house fixing my phone and I'm so PSYCHED cuz my online's finally working again! Cuz for like the last 2 days, whenever we picked up the phone, there would be this incessant drone and it wouldn't let us go on line. And it turns out it was the cable guy's company's FAULT. Nice going, Larry. But it was weird, cuz my mom called him like twice and couldn't be there to wait for him, so when I got home from school yesterday, I was like, "Who is this blonde woman and what is she doing in my hou- Oh, hello, Sarai." Yeah.
AAAAAAAAAH I GOT X 2006 YES YES YESSSSSS!!!! And it's really good. And more infused with hard rock than 2005, so I'm SO HAPPY. And there's a little bit of punk, but they added one of Sanctus Real's lame songs ("I'm not alright". Neither is this song) and a weird Building 429 song (the lead singer always sounds tired/drunk and he tried to hit so many high notes, I thought his lungs would pop. Or his brain would freeze. Their drummer is gross. Grossy...) Speaking of music, WHO'S TAKING A CLASS IN BURNING CDS 101 TONIGHT? ME!!!! YAAAY! So I'm going to make a CD with all of my favorite songs on it and there's going to be like 30 tracks (even tho Dad has one of my CDs...I WANNA ADD "MARATHONS" BY FALLING UP!) and I kind of know how to do everything, but I am not the masta yet. *bows to the sensai*
School was weird/awesome/annoying/not bad. The band sub wouldn't let us go and then she was like, "Oh, I thought you got out at 8:20." Hm. I think we would know that better than you. But she's nice otherwise. And she's really good at keeping time and stuff. PE, I had to make up a jump rope. Nyaaaaaaaaaaaah but I guess 535 isn't too bad. Whatever. And we had a nice sub in LAR/SS who could rap and is thinking about going pro. And I accidentally told him about Nathan and he's like, "Well, if he's only that old and can do it...hm, food for thought..." What have I done? But I hope he goes pro. Even tho poetry might be better than poetry in motion. But that's God's decision.
Why, at concerts, are you waiting for your favorite band, and they have like 6 local bands play first? It drives me NUTS! Like at that Manafest concert I went to last summer and they had that REALLY BAD local band who was totally tone deaf and out of tune/style, but it turned out they were from the same place I live (ew) and guilted us all into going to one of their concerts there (we said yes; we did not go.) and then hit on Sarai. Bad bad bad.
Yeaaaaaaaaah that's it. I would like a Twinkie. But after all those crispy Totinos, I think water would be the best option. Still trying unsuccessfully to make a picture of myself.

Let's wear hats!

We had the car wash today. Wet. And cold. And my favorite pair of shorts, which fit PERFECTLY last summer, are now (get this) TOO BIG! It was like Jared the Subway guy fitting on his old pants and I was like...whoa. So I was running away from a car trying to run me over (well, he wasn't trying, but I was in the way) and they slipped almost all the way down. Bad. So the whole time I was pulling them up. I need a belt. Although last time I wore a belt with those pants, it BROKE. Nyaaaaah...
I tried to make a cartoon doll of myself to use as my picture, but it was really grainy when I enlarged it. But it looked okay before. Except I don't have straight black hair. But the hair I used looked a lot like my hair when I straighten it (not with my straightener, which stinks). And if I straighten and dye it black, I'll look JUST like that cartoon doll. I really want an orange hoodie. Or a bright yellow one from Whistle Workwear!
Sooooo yeah that's it, wow my shortest post in a while. Eeeeee...

Just between you and me, I have something to say...

Okay, this is going to be very short, but I FOUND A BOOK CHARACTER! Okay, I didn't "find" one, I mentally created one! YAAAAAY! AND SHE'S MY EVIL TWIN! So I shall be describing my life through...AAAH must not say her name. Olaf's spies are...everywhere...
*Twilight Zone theme*

We are the champions, my friends

AAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAH!! AAAAAAAH! AAAAAH AAAH AAH AAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
You're probably all, "Why the heck is she screaming and eating ice cream while typing on her very long and opinionated blog?" Why, you ask? Oh, no reason, except...
WHO just had a pep assembly at their school?
ME.
WHO just screamed the fight song so loud their ear drums burst?
ME.
WHOSE grade for the first time this year won the screaming "spirit" contest.
MINE DID!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GO SEVVIES!!!!
I am PUMPED! For the first time all year, the lowliest grade at my school got to prance around the school, singing "We are the champions", screaming, and waving it in the wedgies' and fresmens' faces. It. Was. NICE.
Unfortunately, I got home and no one was here. Just a bunch of groceries. :( So, without having anyone to brag to, I said, "You know, a victory like this deserves some ice cream." So I got some ice cream. Or rather, some Breyers Twix ice cream covered with Family Size Milk and Special Dark Hershey's chocolate syrup, all on top of a brownie I made yesterday afternoon. Then I realized the freshmen don't care (I seriously said, "Sevvies own," to this one and he was ((seriously)) like, "Yeah, you guys did good, congratulations." AND HE WASN'T KIDDING.), since they're leaving anyway, but the 8th graders DO. Hehehehe. So I am calm For the most part. But I wore my red sevvie shirt over a long sleeved white shirt, so it's very hot in here. But ice cream is cold, grass is green, and markers stain clothes if they're not washable.
PE, we could do basically whatever we wanted, so I play piccleball with Sam, Evonne, and Alli and Evonne served it at my head and we all ended up on the ground contracting asthma, we were laughing so hard.
Yeah. That's it. Need to go read like 6 books.

100% THE CAT'S FAULT!

I was going to be a Nazi and man the TV, phone, AND listen to "Matlock" while I typed/made cartoon dolls/e-mailed/wrote down song lyrics, but that would be selfish cuz I'm already tying up our phone and wasting time on here. Plus, it was an old episode of "Matlock". Well, they're all old, but I've seen this one multiple times. "We're having an affair." "She lied about having an affair."
"Bad Kitty": BEST BOOK EVER. Okay, the main character is like my evil twin/exact opposite AT THE SAME TIME and it's pretty much AWESOME. Cuz, yeah, I'm not exactly half Jamaican or 6 feet tall, BUT I LIKE FORENSIC SCIENCE! I AM INSANE! I HAVE INSANE FRIENDS! I HAPPEN TO LIKE A GUY WHO MIGHT POSSIBLY BE A MURDERER! Wait... BUT IT'S A GOOD BOOK! So totally replacing "The Princesses of Atlantis" on my profile. Move over, Talar. Hello, Tom. Sorry, busy, currently putting a hold on "Rain Dance". Kay, all done now.
Walker cut his hair. We switched seats today in LAR/SS and Toni and I had to beg Jose to let us take his seat. Billy even promised not to call him "Josie". But he moved. And we're all good. But it was very melisolfgopalopatedious. I should've shot him with my chickoelesophagunette. DIE DIE DIE! *gets hit in the face with breading* SCORE!
I WANT TO WRITE! REALLY BAD! A NOVEL! WITH FOOTNOTES! (or parentheses. whole paragraphs of them. Yeah) Cuz I haven't made a writing attempt in...*gasp* 6 MONTHS AT LEAST! AAAAAAAH! Wait, no, it hasn't been that long. BUT IT'S FELT LIKE YEARS! Seriously, I only write here and in my writing journal at school, but at school, I save all my good ideas for this blog and write about Kermit the frog underpanties and X-rated material (such as eating poop). I want to make a character that is like my evil twin/exact opposite AT THE SAME TIME, but that would be plagirism. I've made too many blonde characters in the last year... (I MEANT THAT AS A CHARACTERISTIC, NOT A STEREOTYPE!) Must ponder this...
I would like some more fries. Walker got hit with a milky nickel. My pizza had sausage and a lone red pepper. I do love waffles.

Run away from stalkers...but they'll still follow

It's true. Anyways...
School was okay. Except for science. We had to observe paramecium under a microscope and I couldn't find any. And Mr. Griffith was making fun of me the whole entire time. "Why is it so hard to find these things?" But I finally found some. But they wouldn't eat the yeast, so they didn't turn blue. :( Then I stole Brianna and Kylee's sample. Well, I didn't, Mr. Griffith did, and I had to use it. But they had like the best sample ever. Awesomeness.
Can I help it if I'm really bad at piccleball? I'm sorry, I play BADMINTON, you know the game with the BIRDIE that's LIGHT and doesn't make loud smacking sounds against your racket. And I can't play with a wiffleball. It's really hard. I'm seriously the worst piccleball player ever. Sam was suffering because of me. I'm sorry.
AAAAAH it was dumb I was walking home and they were cleaning out the gutters or whatever so I had to walk AROUND the construction people and got home like 10 minutes late. And it takes me like 2 minutes to get home. Or 3. NYAAAAH I SHALL KILL YOU.
I haven't worn my cat hat in a while. I don't like to, cuz it looks weird and bumpy, even when I'm wearing it "right". Maybe it's because it's such a light color. I'm ruined. I need a black one. Like that girl I observed on the ferry that one time over to Seattle. I was staring at her cattish hat to see which way was the right way to wear it. I was wearing it wrong. And now it's no longer a cat hat. It's a bump hat. Cuz Nathan did something to it that made it all bumpy-like.
"I was SO disappointed in this scene because I was going to do an interpretive dance about the blue gate." "Was it a jazz dance?" "It was jazzish. Jazzish..."
I feel like a new color of font. How bout this (just choosing random colors)? Ew, no it's like the same color as my glasses. Or not. But I want a different one. One that doesn't refer to this states horrible weather. Whatever. Orange is good.
Soooooooo...(I say that a lot now...for some...odd...reason...) I picked fleas off my dog. How...fascinating. OOH OOH I MADE UP A WORD TODAY! Melisoflgopalopatedious. I think. I might have forgotten a letter or two. I'll check tomorrow. Proper definition: An action or task so boring or frustrating that it causes the doer to eat poop... I had other stuff in this definition. It was flamablamablous. But I forgot. I'll check tomorrow. I also made chickoelesophagunette. But the definition might offend some people. So it's basically just a feathery chicken shape weapon that emits Shake 'n Bake breading. Yeah. Weeeeee...
Flamablamablous.

Does it taste like hickory?

Tuesday night: Nothing to do but blog. NOW I think up all my new ideas. Ideaish stuff, at least. Well, "Last Comic Standing" is on. Can't watch it. :( "Shanghai Knights" is on. William can't watch it and he's manning the TV. Nyaah. And now everyone's watching a foreign program. It's weird. I'm being open-minded to other cultures, I swear, I just can't understand the lyrics and I don't like ballads.
Random conversation bits: "Do you like guitars?" "PARTY HATS!" "I was pretty much in love with the Argentinian!" "I bet you were!" "Tickle him!" "It's a girl, actually." "I don't care." "IT'S YOUR SISTER AND I DON'T WANT TO TICKLE HER!" "Never mind." "OWNAGE!" "See, James, you jinx, look what you've done." "*thinking* He looks like a UFO." "Take that face off your nose."
I was doing dumb homework on Africa. Actually, it was a political map of Africa, and I love political maps, but Africa has 53 stinkin countries and I had to fill them all in. Not from memory, tho. And I have to memorize the name and location of 18 countries: Botswana, Rwanda, Djibouti, Kenya...there were more, I haven't memorized them yet.
DUMB DUMB DUMB I have to play piano in the service on Sunday and I DON'T WANT TO! Sure, I get to use my music and everything, but I don't like playing in front of other people. It's dumb and my piano teacher makes me wear skirts. So for the recital I have to wear a skirt, but for Sunday I'm going to wear jeans. BAGGY jeans. Darn. I don't have any baggy jeans. *stops random gangsta on street* May I borrow your jeans? Oh...they're not very baggy. Gangsta: You know what, you're stereotypical and if I had a mic I'd BATTLE YOU! Me: ooooh I'm scared. *Dave Chappelle comes* Dave: Pity the fool, you have to battle me. Me: OH NO, A HILARIOUS COMEDIAN WHO'S JOKES I SHOULDN'T BE HEARING!!!! AAAAAAAAH!
I'd like a puppy. Or just a bunch of dogs so Oggy wouldn't be lonely. Actually, he'd just fight all of them like he did Howard... *eyes glaze over* Howard... *sniff* But I do want some dogs. Like a Cocker Spaniel...and a Pug...and two Dachsunds (or Dacshunds? Whatever)...a Maltese...and a Jack Russell Terrier (they own Parson Russells). We're good. I would like a big dog or two, but child actors have made Golden Retrievers a stereotype. *chooses* GREAT DANE! No, NEWFIE! Or something really big... *looks around* I WANT THAT IRISH WOLFHOUND!!!! Whoa...IT'S BIGGER THAN ME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *runs away*

Ugly truths about McDonalds

I can't believe it. My awesome science teacher LIKES Micheal Moore. That's just not cool. Cuz we were talking about "Supersize me" and he was talking about how great and amazing it was and we should watch it, and then described another Moore movie about living on minimum wage. It's like, "I'm sure it would be a great movie if he didn't turn around every 5 seconds to blame it all on Bush." Laaaaaaame...
Soooooooooooooooo...nothing much is going on. Except random stuff. I had a lot of good things before to blog about, I guess, but then my mom took me to the library...and we had to pick up William...then we had to go BACK to the school cuz we might've forgotten Paul (uh, gee, HE'S SICK)...then some little kids make fun of my bad arm (I CAN'T THROW, I play BASKETBALL and ride HORSES! I don't LIKE fastpitch!)...THEN we go home THE LONG WAY. Nyaaaaaah...
I kind of got way off topic in LAR today, but it was fun. "Magic is often used in fantasy novels. Harry Potter uses magic. Harry Potter is a hottie. Actually, he WAS hottie, but then he got girl hair. He should wear a dress because he looks like a girl."
And about fantasy: WHAT'S UP WITH THIS? I'm at the library, looking for my favorite genre, and all the fantasy they have is like A: There is no God and we are the gods saving us all from demons and whatnot. B: Not really "fantasy" but modern-day books about Wiccans under pressure fighting back with MAGIC. C: Infused with politics and world issues. D: Already been read by me...multiple times (um...Harry Potter? Getting old). In fact, the majority of books at my library aren't fantasy, but "LET'S GET READY FOR PROM! Aw crud, prom not a fairy tale! Oh well! Premarital sex and relationships RULE!" kinda story lines. The last part is very prominent. Well, relationships, but not excluding premarital sex.
Okay, so I go from nothing to write to random rambling about stupid libraries. And Harry Potter. I need a Twinkie. Or...I'LL BAKE A DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE! YESSSSSSS!!!!

"Is she on holiday?"

Yesterday we went up to the beach to spend time with my grandparents and help out, but a bunch of my other relatives ended up coming. Emily brought cheesecake and I was like, ":O" so I was going to eat like three pieces but my mom was like, "No, you already had two pieces of cake." My bad. And then we kept feeding Lachlan, BUT HE NEVER STOPPED BEING HUNGRY!!! He's like A BOTTOMLESS PIT!!!! And we foolishly asked him to make an animal noise while eating. PFFFFFFFT! All the lemon cake in his mouth goes across the table. Ew.
Omg, we had a "Neverending Story" marathon, but ended up skipping 2 and going right to 3, because 2 is lame. Well, 3 is even lamer. It's not even WORTHY of "Neverending Storydom". It doesn't even make sense. But Jack Black is in it. He's pretty hot in that movie. Lol. Not. But at the end he turns into a nerd and wears BIG GLASSES AND A SUIT!!! Spare me. The ending was THE LAMEST ENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN. So Bastian and his stepsister are all walking down the hallway, then they jump up in the air and high five. Then it pauses and that's the end. LAAAAAAAAME! I forgot how cheesy 1 was, but I still like it. Except for Atreyu's on again/off again British accent. "NOO!!!! AAAHTEX! STUPID HORSE!" It was like the mom on "The Waltons"...only she kept forgetting to say "suppa" instead of "supper" or something! TALK ABOUT WEIRD! And Atreyu greatly resemble the mom on "The Waltons". He looked like a girl, at least. A LOT like a girl. So much so that Nathan and I were all, "Stop hitting on my girlfriend!" "She's MY girlfriend!" Yeah.
So today (we stayed over night) we just slept in, watched "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and sat around being bored and eating leftovers. Pancakes are good. Yesssss...
Riki's party is tonight. After youth group. Speaking of which, I have to go like right now.

Friday, May 26, 2006

Oh, we're gonna dance all night, dance all night to this DJ

Interesting Friday. In short:
Donovan no longer has any hair. It's just "fuzzy".
Toni and I are doing our Dog project. We keep coming across picture's of a dachsund's nose (don't ask).
We spent the whole science period talking about viruses. My braces HURT.
I couldn't exactly eat lunch because of the INSANE PAIN so I just had Cheetos. (I had to suck on them. How sad is THAT?) And I can't take these things off thanks to the astronaut glue they put on my teeth. Whee, I'm SOOO grateful. Not.
Surprising: I can still play trombone. Maybe it's because I only got the top set. But playing high notes is really hard. Well, not hard, but during Showcase in the library, I had to play high and trombone sounded all fuzzy and vibrato. Yeah. Like Carmen off of American Idol: Season 2.
I'd really like a Coke right now. Especially now that I can't have it. Oh the unfairness of it all. And I know I'm complaining, but there's not much else to do around here. Someone threw away the Classifieds and my mom still has my sudoku book: hence, no sudoku. AIM is lame because the same 2 people are on whenever I get on and it's like..."Why?" No good sites, I don't think. However, there is...KIDDONET.COM, THE FUN SAFE WAY FOR KIDS TO HAVE FUN or whatever. More like the safe, lame way for kids to get bored. I used to go on like every day in 4th grade. Fastforward three years. *VCR sounds* Golly gee, I'm so bored. No good sites, eh? (Oh snap. I believe I just pressed the Fast forward CANADA button. Oops. I am not insane.)

Bop to the Top

I GOT HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL I GOT HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL I GOT HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL I GOT HIGH SCH...yeah. Actually, I've watched it twice since I got it and now I'm good for a while. It gets a little tiring. But I was RIGHT! "I can't take my eyes of you" isn't even IN the movie. Try LAME.
:# Who got braces? ME!!!! They're bright green and all crooked. :( It's pretty embarassing. They're not as bad as I thought they'd be. Just annoying. And they don't hurt. I just can't have diet. EVEN diet soda. HOW LAME IS THAT????? But I had a nice hygenist today who felt my pain (she still had braces). But I still want some gum. Or taffy. But Mom let me have ice cream. So we're good.
Aaaaah Tuesday was DUMB cuz I had to wait in the doctor's office for three hours while getting a scoliosis thing done and X-rays and all that and, in the end, I am not the LEAST bit improved. Except for my posture. It's better now.
Colton was singing "My heart will go on" today and I was like, "NO STOP BAD!!!!" But he kept singing it. And Toni and I are doing a report on dogs. Carver was doing a report on sharks, but there were some REALLY bad pictures in that book. I mean, come on, "MATING SHARKS"? "This is a picture of a male and a female-" "YEAH, OKAY, I GET IT!!!!"
Wedgiedom doesn't look too bad. But I just don't want to turn into one of those never shut up wedgies. If anyone I know makes a "you already have" comment, shove it.
GOT TAYLOR!! GO TAYLOR!!! YEAYA KATHARINE GOT OWNED!!! WHO'S THE SUCKA NOW??????? And we were all busy making fun of her mom's dress last night. "*gasp* GRANDMA!!!!" But I thought Chris should've won. Or Elliot. But Taylor rocks. He was definitely my 3rd choice. And Randy was right, it was a guy this year. Someone's psychic. I dunno, I kinda enjoyed the Prince performance. Okay, I REALLY enjoyed the Prince performance cuz I like Prince. No, not like that. But we were surprised by the endless skills of his backup dancers. "They can sing, too?"

Down with the King [County]

I'm sitting down, JUST ABOUT TO BLOG, when dingalingaling... "Lauren, the dog woke up!" AAAAAAAAAAAH I HATE THAT!!!!!
I walked into school today and everyone commented on my lovely red face, slightly tanned arms, and cigaretty voice (NO, I do not smoke), courtesies of BIG SPLASH!!!!!
Big Splash, unlike last year, WAS SUPER AWESOME!!!!!! Except for the part that I forgot to sunscreen my back and face and got MAJOR BURNS. Oh yeah, on my feet, too. But it was fun. I got to eat ice cream for dinner (their pizza still tastes like...)(btw what was up with the tasteless watery Coke?), go on every ride multiple times (such as the Timberhawk), and party on the water slides and stuff. (well, not party, but sure, I am so addicted to their water slides. Especially the intertube kind. Yellow slide OWNS.)
The concert wasn't too bad. DJ Maj was okay (my dad kept calling him DJ Mac when I told him about the concert, then was weirded out when I told him it was M-A-J. "That makes no sense." Whereas DJ Mac makes A LITTLE sense, it's either a name, or he worked with Tobymac, which he did, on Diverse City.) and Superchick was lame, but in a nice way (that's putting it lightly. They were kinda boring. And I didn't like Trisha's hair. But Melissa the guitarist was cool. And Melissa ((as in NOT the guitarist, btw)), who I was sitting with, was all, "Her name's Melissa!!!!!!!") But TFK and Hawk Nelson...well, let's see...PRETTY MUCH ROCK!!!!!!! No pun intended. JASON DUNNE HAS A FAUX HAWK AGAIN YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'M SO HAPPY!!!!! Better than his weird girl haircut. And he was wearing HIGH TOPS!!!! HA! HAHAHA!!! Low top wearers are SUCKAS!!!! Well, that includes like all of my friends, so I take that back. But still, HIGH TOPS ARE WAY FLIPPIN BETTER!!!! But Daniel Biro grew like this combination of mullet and Brit rock hair. :( It was sad. And he reminded me of this guy I saw at a Kutless concert leading a worship band last summer. Ironically, THAT guy looked just like Billy Boyd. Daniel DOES kind of have hobbitish hair... Even tho Billy Boyd's hair is like way short. So I didn't know any TFK songs except "Rawkfist" and two others, but it was a cool concert, even tho I couldn't do anything cuz everytime I moved, I'd slide down the stupid hill. Grrrrrrr curse you...
Colton had magnetic balls today. But he wouldn't let me play with them. (for all you sick minded, no I don't mean it like THAT) Then Tori stole all of them. Or at least most of them. And then I had to put the Bazooka Bubble Gum book cover back on Colton's book. But the bell rang. So Toni just slammed the book shut and threw it on the cart. "Close enough."
Mr. Griffith called me 4-eyes subtlely. Being insulted subtlely isn't exactly awesome. "And this alien is you. *points to many eyed Dipteron googalophicus or something*" Nyaaaaah...
AAAAAH in PE we did a 12 minute run for the first time in like 4 months or whatever. I got 16. Better than last time. :) But I still hate those runs. And Mr. Eathorne was putting us down, but he's a gym teacher and he gets away with it because all inspirational coaches taught "tough love". This is PE. Not "Coach Carter". Stop yelling at me to run while you're walking.

The Da Vinci Crud

I don't care how awesome my day was, or wasn't, I just really want to say something.
HELLO RON HOWARD!!!!!! WHAT IS YOUR FLIPPIN PROBLEM???????
All I keep hearing is "The Da Vinci Code", "The Da Vinci Code", and how great it is. "Access Hollywood" was like, "Well, of course the Catholic church was offended," but they totally wrote that off as an overreaction. No, silly, an overreaction would be me cutting off Tom Hanks' head and waving it around the Louvre. But NONE OF US CHRISTIANS ARE DOING THAT!!!!! Tho maybe we should... SERIOUSLY!!! In A&E today, they were like, "'The Da Vinci Code' gives us something spiritual to look into. For those who are spiritually hungry, this is the greatest gift ever," and other crap. WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM??????????????????????? THE HIGH POINT OF THIS BOOK IS THAT JESUS LOVED WOMEN????? Gee, took you a while. Actually, the whole truth is: Jesus loves EVERYONE. Not in the sexual/marriage/monogamous sense, but like familial love, ONLY DEEPER THAN EARTHLY FAMILIAL LOVE. Dan Brown used NO historical evidence in his book, yet everything he says is being presented as fact. Like the whole evolution theory that we're being taught at school. There is no EVIDENCE, it is a scientific THEORY that has NOT YET BEEN PROVED, yet it is being presented as FACT. "Gee, were you THERE 6,000,000 years ago, Mrs. Snickers, even tho that seems possible..." If you want your "spiritual hunger" craved, READ THE BIBLE!!!! Sure, everyone turns to other religions like Bhuddism and Hinduism and Wicca, but when it comes to the end, they have to consider where they're going. Yeah, I can't prove Jesus is God and that Heaven is real, but that's why it's called faith. I believe in Jesus because I know he's real. And I'm not decidedly mental. You don't HAVE to be decidedly mental to believe that. Although, there is one scientific method we could try... A non-Christian and a Christian wait till they die, see where they go when they're dead, and then come back and tell everyone. It could happen. Maybe... Okay, not the coming back part, but then they'll know whether they're right or wrong.
So today...(oh boy, it's going to be hard coming back after that. I'm going to get a heck of a lot of comments) I finally hit Dillon with my trombone. Then I sproinged his hair. Toni and I didn't wave to Matt today cuz his classroom door was closed. Sam's mom made really good Lumpia, and we ate 324 calorie Japanese snacks. Mine was chocolate. Connor rocks cuz he likes strawberry. And I wrote the coolest "Jason's Gold" ending ever. It just had to do with Jamie leaving Jason for Kip Barker, and then Jason gets eaten by polar bears. Actually, it was a lot like the ending to our Lost skit. "Hope the polar bears don't get you!!" "But...polar bears don't live in Alaska." "They do now, sucka."

"Len, you just did a great impression of a clogged artery."

I. Am going. TO DIE!!! Seriously!!! If only I hadn't been so greedy!!!!
So I come home, and I'm hungry, right, cuz I'd kinda skipped breakfast and eaten very little lunch (the tables were covered in ranch dressing. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT??? And I don't like watermelon Gogurt), so I grab a blueberry Poptart and put it in the freezer. While I'm waiting for it to freeze, I forget that I've put it in there after listening to a rousing chorus of "Get'cha Head in the Game" by B5, so I grab a mini serving size bag of Fritos. After eating those, I'm all, "Gee, those were delicious, I should have some more!!" Only instead of Fritos, I pick Lays. Unfortunately, halfway through my second bag of chips, I remember my Poptart and realize the chips I've eaten have 10 grams of fat. Each. And the Poptart has 7 grams, so yeah, my arteries are DOOMED TO DIE!!!!!!!! :*( Why me?
Anyway, on a more positive note, BACK TO SCHOOL TODAY!!!!!! And I only agreed to go because it was a short day, but I have to do tomorrow too. >:P But science was cool, we got to draw. And not scientific stuff. Adrianna's drawing kittens jumping on sleeping bags. I'm drawing a physicist, a forensic scientist, a historian (who once was on Monty Python), and a recently graduated engineer or something like that setting boxes of ginger snaps on fire (the recent graduated is pouring the lighter fluid. All the others are taking DNA samples or reading Einstein's theory of relativity or whatever he's so darn famous for). Seriously, THIS IS FOR A GRADE!!! I love science.
At lunch, we waved at one of the 7th grade science teachers, but he was like, "Aaah, scary," so his wave was very halfhearted. And he's one of the COOL teachers. At least I think so. Even tho he made fun of the shirt I accidentally wore on an assembly day ("Aha, two blues in a sea of reds." And he was wearing GREEN when he said this.)
I've been gone for two days, so I didn't know what in the world demonstrative pronouns were or how to pronounce demonstrative. (it's apparently de-MON-stra-tive. Weird....) But we were naming pronouns and replacing words with pronouns, so I got that somewhat. But just as I'm getting the hang of it, we move on to ADJECTIVES. *sniff* Noooo.... Actually, adjectives are pretty much the best words ever, but yeah, I was getting so attatched to those pronouns...
Aaaah we finished "Jason's Gold" in LA/SS (FINALLY) and I heard the ending was really funny ("HAHAHA SHE GOT ON A BOAT AND LEFT HIM!!!!" Well, I thought it was funny, but a lot of the romance-freaks were like, "THAT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!!! IT WAS LOVE, TRUE LOVE!!!"), but now we've started a book called "A Single Shard" or something and it's like, "NOOO NOT ANOTHER HISTORICAL FICTION BLAH." Dumb. But all the guys are like, "it's SOOO good." There must be little to no mention of girls then. Darn.
I LOVE MY HAT I LOVE MY HAT I LOVE MY HAT!!!!!

King Boris

I love SUBWAY COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That dude on them is so awesome!!!!!!! He's like the reincarnation of Zizou Corder's character King Boris. Only taller. I just saw the newest commercial. "The blonde boy's a loser! And now dinner!"
So here I am, not at school, once again. I'm much improved from yesterday, but I really didn't want to go to school today and I'll probably be completely healed by tomorrow. Also, I had a lovely McDonald's burger. That should fix me right up. Ah, that sounded really dumb.
De ja vu. All over again.
I've pretty much had the rockin awesomest morning ever. First: read reviews of movies I'd heard about/already seen/kinda wanted to see on http://www.pluggedinonline.com. Movies they hated: "The Producers" (understandable), "Rent" (way understandable), "Phantom of the Opera" (WHOA! Big surprise, there.). Movies they sort of liked, but didn't reccomend: "When a Stranger Calls" (wow. Weird.)
Second: Watched a movie of the Bibleman show that my mom got at the library. WOW. How 90's is this? This one kid seriously wore overalls where the bib WENT UP TO HIS NECK!!!! GROSS!!!! And they did all this "nifty" choreography. I was pretty much itching to get up and dance. NOT. Aaaaaaah how scary. But I felt bad because this one kid I THOUGHT was a girl turned out to be a guy with dreads and a spectacular singing voice (I COULDN'T HELP IT!!! I thought MICHEAL TAIT was a girl too when I was 6!!!!!). Oh well. And then BIBLEMAN HAD TO ESCAPE FROM THE EVIL MADAME GLITZ. He ends up doing so, tho, and WITHOUT USING HIS LIGHTSABER (or the Sword of the Spirit, but it is SO a lightsaber) squishes her into the TV. Actually, he doesn't do it, God does. Bibleman justs quotes Scripture.
Third: Watched "The Never Ending Story II: The Next Chapter". I've already seen this once before, but I'd forgotten how dumb it was. I mean, as a four-year-old, I LOVED the first one. Even tho it was scary. And Artex dies. :( But this one was BEYOND LAME. And Bastian suddenly has blonde hair, when in the first one it was CURLY AND BROWN, and then, LO AND BEHOLD, in the third one (which I've yet to see), IT'S BROWN AND CURLY!!! BOOYA!!!! Yeah, and he kills Atreyu. And has a girly scream. And at the end, I was like, "IT'S THE RAPIDS FROM HIS DREAM!!! FANTASY!!!!! NIGHTMARE!!!!!!! WHATEVER!!!!"
Lastly: Watched Ellen's 499th show. Tomorrow's her 500th show. And next Monday Tony's leaving forever. :( NOT TONY NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Carson Daly offered him a DJing job and he was like, "No, sucka." Actually, he said something along the lines of, "There's only one show I'm going to DJ on." Yeah.
So that was it. The blonde boy's still a loser. And not Bastian. I wish I could still write trail journals.

Grasshopper eyeballs

Things that have recently happened in my life in chronological order:
1. I got sick (again. what is up with my immune system? I'M GONNA DIE SOON!!!!! NOOOO!!)
2. I watched 2 episodes of "The Waltons" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" (fell asleep halfway through, tho)
3. Looked at the books Mom got me from the library (including 2 about....*drumroll*...FORENSIC SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She also got "Red Feather Filly", which looks slightly lame.
So that's about it. Besides the fact that I really wanted to watch "Ham on the Street" today, but we don't get the Food channel. I LOVE HAM!!!!! I LOVE THE STREET!!!!! Except for the thing on Stone soup. That was dumb. "IT'S THE CHICKEN LADY!!!!!" "Yeah, I was, um, hungry."
I love my new hat. It is pretty much super awesome. And it's black. And it looks like the hat I saw a New Orleans trombone player wear. I think that was him. Yeah. I love it.
By the way, what's up with my state? Everyone's all, "New OrLEENS." And I'm all, "Um, I pronounce it New Orlins." (duh, I know it's not spelled like that) and they go, "NOO NOO NOO, it's New OrLEENS or N'awlins!!!!!" Wth? THAT'S SO DUMB!!!!!!!!
"...3,000 people? That sounds like quite a party. Why wasn't I invited? And you say, 'Of course you were invited.' Well, it's not really a party..." I love Geico. hehehehe.
I'm contemplating making a motivational CD this summer. Or for summer anyways. But my family refuses to show me the art of burning CDs. However, my dad WAS all, "That's PIRATED." when I showed him my new Fresh Digress CD. "Um, no, it's not pirated, Amber burned it." "HA. Not pirated." Yeah.

Haaaaaagen-Daaaaaaaz

So I'm all sitting in the dentist's office reading "People" and there's this picture of a scoop of Haagen-Daaz's new Mayan Chocolate ice cream. Come on, people. MAYAN CHOCOLATE!!! But I told my mom about it and she thought it looked gross. That's what I said when I was about to try my first bite of Mayan Chocolate, and, hello, THAT'S NOT GROSS!!!!
Angelina Jolie is apparently the most beautiful woman in the world, and she has the most beautiful family.
I got SOOO mad yesterday. I tried to install Catz 3 on my cpu, but it's like too old or something, because it kept freezing and when the menu popped up, it wouldn't be fully installed or something. And I compeletely lost Legacy. I'm looking up the possibility of getting one of the Petz 5, but I have no money, and I'm also looking at 3 CDs and "High School Musical", which is coming out really soon.
Nathan's saying to hurry up. So I gotta go. NYAAAAAAAAAH...

Happy Mother's Day

I told my mom to sleep in till 8:40. She almost made it, but then she woke up and begged my dad to let her come out. But it was nice. She even made a cake after we left for church. And she liked her card and flowers. We should've got her chocolates. Then we can force her to share.
THE WANGSTA SHOES ARE FINALLY CLEAN!!!!! They mstill somewhat like horses, but they look okay. Only my dad polished them for me (I cleaned them last night, but he insisted on polishing them) and covered up the blue stitching. So now it says "Converse" in white. On white. A little hard to see.
Soooo that was basically all I wanted to say. I was going to play "Legacy" but I can't find it. :( Worship team today was AWESOME. No youth group, tho. :( Oh well.

Mugging the Pizza Man, man

That's what I did today at Amber's, along with Emily, the other Emily, Sarah, and Amber. And we had lightsabers. And hats, after I insisted. It's not a raid without hats. We were waiting for...the pizza man. And then he finally came, but he broke the Domino's law and didn't put the little Domino's thing on top of his car, so we didn't know it was him till it was too late. And we chased him and insisted he give us our pizzas. But he didn't and was like, "Whatev." Blaah...
Pretzel Time rocks, but next time I need to ask them not to put any ice in my soda. Cuz that meant I only got half of a small. There was that much ice.
So we went to the mall for a Mother's Day gift for Grandma, but I still had these giftcards that had sat lonely in my mom's purse for many months, so I used those and got an awesome hat and stuff... But we got Grandma something nice. Even tho we didn't get her truffles, like I thought she would like and said so outloud in the Hallmark greeting card store, but everyone just laughed. I'm not a pig, I'm not.
:( Apparently Fall Out Boy isn't the awesome band I'd hoped they would be. They're just a sex-obsessed lame excuse for punk/emo band. And the fact that I heard clearly the lyrics of "Dance, dance" in the Gap didn't help. Nyaaaaaaaaaah...

M. Night Shyamalamalamalamalamalama...

So we've been wanting to have a 2-movie M. Night Shyamalan marathon all week, and my mom got two of his movies for us to watch. However, instead of "The Village" and "The Mothman Prophecies", she got "Signs" and "Unbreakable" (I WAS RIGHT!! It's NOT R-RATED and it IS M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN!!!! Told you...)
Signs: This was actually a super good movie. Because it was freaky when nothing scary really happened. Like, the Portuguese kids see the alien and it just WALKS PAST. It doesn't pop out from underneath the window box. It doesn't smash through the walls. It just WALKS PAST. That, my friends, is scary. To me, anyways. The end was kind of lame cuz it wasn't that scary, but everything finally made sense, so that was okay. But I thought it was sad when Morgan killed Houdini because he tried to attack Bo.
Unbreakable: This. Is. The. Lamest. Movie. I. Have. Ever. Seen. Seriously. The first scene isn't even ABOUT Bruce Willis' char, it's about Elijah Price and how he was born with broken arms and legs cuz he has the bone shatter disease. And it turns out David Dunn (Bruce Willis) has the same disease, only in a different form so his bones DON'T shatter EVER and he never gets sick, unlike Elijah. But he's SUCH A DORK. David, that is. Because Elijah told him to go where the people are and he gets all these premonitions about them (like a lady steals something from a jewelry store and a girl gets taken advantage of) and he lets these people WALK AWAY. Then he goes to this house that someone broke into and he waits A REALLY LONG TIME before going in, then WALKS AROUND THE HOUSE. And it turns out the parents are dead. OMG, he had a twelve year old son in that movie WHO I WAS PLANNING TO KILL, HE WAS SO ANNOYING. He was like obsessed with his dad and stuff and then threatens to shoot him because he's all, "You're invincible, I swear, it'll just bounce off." And then his mom is like, "NO SHOOTING FRIENDS, JOSEPH!" So Shyamalamalama let me down. I hope his other movies are better.

Welcome back, Chris Daughtry

I can't believe I've failed to mention this.
It was so shocking, just too sudden...
I couldn't believe it was even happening...
WHY THE HECK DID CHRIS DAUGHTRY GET OUT ON "AMERICAN IDOL"??????????
EVERYONE, including Simon, SAID HE WAS GOING TO WIN IT ALL. Yet he goes home. Why? Because KATHARINE is 1. a girl and 2. one to shake her chest and wear low cut outfits DURING SONGS. Like Paula. Only Paula's gross and old.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'M SO MAD AT THEM WHY?????????
However, I did write THE AWESOMEST story ever about Jake and Whitney, and Jake cheats on Whitney and the whole thing is resolved with Nokia picture phones. And Twinkies. And Diet Pepsi giving you cancer. And there's like 6 morals.
Guess what I did in PE? WALK THE TRACK, BABY!!!!!!! Aaaaaah I hate it... But I actually passed Mrs. Hurd, so I get EXTRA CREDIT HEHEHEHE!!!! And I was too lazy to do it again, so I just stayed right in front of her the whole time. And she didn't catch me once. But she made us walk like a mile and a half. In the freezing cold. Brrr.
Okay, how come the 7th grade LA/SS block NEXT to ours got to eat food and watch "THE LION KING", MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER, while we read about Commodore Perry and his valiant trip to Japan? :( I almost cried. It was really sad. And in study hall, all these kids were offering the teachers cookies, but not the kids, and they were really big and looked pretty awesome, so I screamed after a few freshmen, "Why are you giving them to teachers and not us? Huh? You're mean, I hate you." And Mr. Griffith got mad. And the freshmen were like, "Oh, silly sevvies, you shall never faze us with your incessant shouting. Nevermore, nevermore!!" (it's only because they're watching "Romeo and Juliet" that they sound like that. I could hear "A Time For Us" blasting out of the walls all 1st period")
Gaaaaaah I have a super long word find with 117 words on it that I have to finish by Monday. And it's gonna take me several hours. And Scott was all bragging about how he finished it in one period. Liar. I bet. I'm pretty sure. Yeah.
I would've gotten home pretty early today, thanks to the fact that I grabbed my trombone BEFORE study hall and not after. But I didn't have any keys thanks to Nathan. So Mom's getting us both a bunch of keys. And I have a super awesome keychain/ring thing to go with. :) I also had a scoop of Bunny Tracks ice cream when I got home to ease the pain of the unjustness. Nevermore, nevermore...

Smooth Reuben

I am now in the making of...making the awesomest baby ever. As in the science thing we have to do. I tried twice AS SOON as I got home from school (but while doing so, knocked over my Coke with a sparkly purple pencil and spilled half of it on an article about white people getting mad over the race of the Viking Queen or whatever), but they're pretty sad. I mean, both Britney and Peter Pan have bushy eyebrows. And Peter Pan's mom was a platinum blonde supermodel. Britney's dad is scary. But they're not awesome. And I had to draw a picture of my "daughter" for science. OMG, she is the SCARIEST thing I've ever seen, cuz Adrianna and I used Gatorade bottles to make the head round...AAAAAAAAAH SCARY MONSTER!! And I did this pretty awesome drawing of our daughter as a baby, but then Mr. Griffith is all, "No, do them as a teenager." NOOOOOOOOO!!! So I do that. Big disaster. She resembles a walking melon. Nathan drew her lips and they make her look a little like...a walking melon... Yeah. But I'm going to create two babies and write a "tragic" story involving them. And one of their mom's is going to be...a platinum blonde supermodel.
I just made brownies with BAKER'S CHOCOLATE!!!! Wow, that sounded...interesting. Like Jamie from "Walk to Remember" interesting/scary. Baker's chocolate is NASTY. It looks good, it smells heavenly, but it tastes like...gross, just lost appetite.
Today we had the world's awesomest band sub. She's actually a music teacher or voice teacher or something, but she's a pretty nifty band teacher.
YAAAAAAAY we got to work in the library for like ALL of 6th period. And since I had nothing to work on, I got to read "Midnight", 1st book in the "Warriors: The New Prophecy" series. Although, that book is REALLY hard to get into. Cuz it's TOTALLY about Bramblepaw, the cat I really wanted to know more about from the first series (even tho NOW he's Brambleclaw), but so much has happened between series and not only is it hard to keep up, nothing interesting is happening. It's just "a day in the life of". So I read Bram Stoker's "Dracula", Usborne version, illustrations and all.
HAHAHA in PE we had this assignment to keep track of what we ate in one day AND I'M ALREADY DONE!!!! I just wrote down all of yesterday's meals. But then Mrs. Hurd made me walk around the gym because I couldn't find anything to do for 20 minutes. I mean, basketball: awesome, but I'm horrible. Hockey: Who really wants to play this with a bunch of 6' 180 lb freshman guys? Not me. Volleyball: HECK NO. So I walked around the gym. I've been doing a lot of that lately. Walking, I mean.

Walk the track

PE is so lame. The only options they're giving us are play softball or walk the track. Guess what I've been doing for the past TWO WEEKS? Yep, walking the track. I've gotten better wind and stuff, I guess, but Mrs. Hurd ALMOST caught up to me and I was like, "NYAAAAH!!!" and run away. That's basically what I do. Wait till she catches up and run away, then walk.
OMG I saw the "7th Heaven" series finale on Monday and IT WAS SO DUMB!! Cuz yeah, no one wanted Simon and Rose to get married, but it was so VAGUE. Cuz the whole thing was like Rose cheating on Simon with Umberto (I love that name. If I was taking Spanish, that would so be my name. That or MAHCEL! Marcel. Whatever.) and planning to marry HIM instead, and then all the Camdens were like, "FLASHBACK TIME!!!" And at the end, it turns out Simon and Rose DIDN'T get married, and Ruthie has a Scottish boyfriend who's also a waiter? and carries nail polish remover around? Um...Ruthie?? And EVERYONE who's pregnant is having TWINS!! What is UP WITH THIS???? Matt and his wife: WE'RE HAVING TWIN BOYS!!!!! Lucy and Kevin: Um, SO ARE WE!!!!! Mary's ex: Yeah, we're back together and WE'RE HAVING TWINS!! GIRLS!!! And the mom did this scary thing where she was like, "*gasp* THAT'S AMAZING," in this freaky poltergeist/"Mommy Dearest" voice. It was FREAKY. "Nooooo...wire...HANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yay we might possibly have an M. Night Shyamalan marathon sometime this weekend or something. Except I can't see any of his R-rated ones. But I swear I read about this one movie with Samuel L. Jackson in it that SAID IT WAS HIS and now everyone's like, "Noooooo it's not you're craaaaaaaaaazy..."
WE MADE BABIES IN SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was pretty dumb. We had to flip coins and stuff for the traits and Adrianna and I basically cheated the whole time. So I pretty much have all recessive genes on my side. And it's a girl. And Daniel was the mom of his boys. But it was weird, all the girls paired with girls and all the boys paired with boys. There was only ONE hetero couple. But we weren't allowed to say that cuz it made Mr. Griffith mad.
We have the AWESOMEST music now in band. Cuz Mr. Villiers surveyed which pieces we didn't like and we got rid of some, like "FIDDLER ON THE ROOF", thank goodness. And he gave us this Disney piece called "Disney Blockbusters" with THE AWESOMEST Aladdin song of all time: "Friend like me", sung by Robin Williams. I think. Yeah. It's super awesome. I'm lovin it. "Aladdin" was once my favorite Disney movie, even tho I've seen the whole thing like 3 times in my life. Sad. But he has the awesomest insults. "Two faced son of a jackal!!!!!"
Awesome Aladdin insults that I've mad up: see above, stupid son of a camel, slobbering son of a dog, snivelling son of a desert rat, stripy son of a tiger, no good son of a llama, ugly son of a parrot, flexible son of a monkey.

Gummy Bunnies!!!

Nathan got some of those for Easter and I ate most of them. They're fake, they're unhealthy, but they're so darn GOOOOD!!!!!
Aaaaaaaagh I was reading "Keeper of the Night" today and that's like the most pointless book I've ever read. It's just the daily life of this girl who's like, "I hate haoles, I don't remember my mom." It's REALLY LONG, too. Actually, it was only like 308 pages, and they were super short, but it felt like forever when I was done. "Party Princess" was okay, but whatever, I still think Mia needs a new boyfriend. Cuz in every book now, it's always, "OMG MY BOYFRIEND SAID SOMETHING AND I THINK IT MEANS SOMETHING ELSE WHAT DO I DO HE'S GOING TO BREAK UP WITH ME AAAAAAH!!!!!" I liked the first three books better. 4 was lame. 5 wasn't too bad. And then came 6, which was SOOO STUPID. And 7 was basically just like 6. Only better. And funnier. But Michael is always saying stuff that gets misunderstood. And then he's all, "How'd you get that, retard?" Um, maybe it's cuz you're so VAGUE. Die. Die. Die.
I've read 9 of the Phantom Stallion books in maybe a month or less. I'm currently taking a break. One, because I have so many books right now (currently 24 checkouts, even tho I'm DONE with 8 of them, so that's only........16 checkouts), two, they're slightly annoying, and three, holds from this series pop up every three days and it has my mom running around trying to keep up with them.
Not cool. William and Paul be dissing on my horses. The ones on "Dynasty Warriors", anyway. And how color signifies rank and stuff. Which I find kind of cool, because I'm down with color coding, but dumb cuz it causes my brothers to be all, "DUMB HORSE, lame-o wrank, haha sucka." Grrrrr... And then Paul was just all, "Oh sure, save the horse." Okay, I KNOW it's a war, BUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH SAVING THE HORSE?????
School: not worth mentioning. Yesterday was better because we had semi awesome subs for periods 1 and 2 and Mr. Jansen came back YAY!!! But today was dumb. And Daniel got really mad at me, so I feel kind of bad about that now. And I KEEP RUNNING INTO DONOVAN. It was cool, tho, cuz we were making bar graphs of like mountains and stuff in the library and Billy was talking about something a teacher wouldn't appreciate (or maybe any adult), and then Mrs. Moon comes over and he didn't see her, so he kept talking, and then he saw me staring at her and shut up. Okay not so funny. But it was at the time.

Yellow sticky notes on my bulletin board...

So yeah, the reason I haven't posted for three days is that I was at Miracle Ranch, no duh, like I've mentioned before. I think. Vaguely, anyway. I can't believe I forgot to on Friday. About that AND about my new wangsta shoes. They are (surprise, surprise) Converse All Stars, but not Chuck Taylors, so they look totally different from my other shoes. And they're white. But they had a heel, so my mom let me wear them to Miracle Ranch. They surprisingly didn't get as dirty as I would've thought. Well, they hadn't by the last day, anyway. Then a big old Clydesdale trots up and STEPS ON MY FOOT!!!!!! So much for docile creatures. He was the only horse that did that all weekend. Although, I didn't have Cisco this time, cuz he stepped on my foot A LOT last year. Well, I started out with Cisco, but he was being a pill, so I switched with Kat and ended up with Jazz. She's a bit slow, but other than that, the awesomest English horse ever. But even riding English, she can herd cows with the best of them. Except that caused her to freak out and canter like crazy, causing me to LOSE STIRRUPS, so Clif didn't let me let her do that anymore. But the cows were kind of scary. They kept licking Rio's legs. "Heeeello Meeester Coooow Ponyyy." *shivers*
GONG SHOW RULES!!!!! Sure, I forgot/messed up my lines twice, along with several other people, but it was fun and everyone was like, "Wow...that was really, really deep." Lol, not really. But they liked it. And they all enjoyed my portrayal of a goth in need of anger management, dubbed Mad Max. But I swear, during the LOST skit, we had to watch the lamest Jeff Probst flashback. AAAAAAAAAAH RAT POISON!!!!! And then Sarai got mad when I dropped my derby and Peter stepped on it accidentally. Or semi mad. Or not really mad. I don't know.
YAAAAAAAAAY I GOT A HAIR STRAIGHTENER!!!!! Except I'm not very good at straightening yet. My hair's still curly and stuff. Only semi straight. And I keep freaking out in thinking that I'm going to MELT my hair or something, like that woman on Oprah whose husband set her on fire. So whenever I see it shine or glisten under the light, I'm like, "AAAAAH MELTY SCALP HELP ME!!!" Then I feel it and it's hot, but fine. Phew.
No fair, it's pretty hard to chew gum (even delicious Orbit Peppermint gum ((TM))) when you're missing FOUR TEETH. But it's not that bad. Just keep it up front or in back. Away from the dumb premolars. Yeah, I defied the dentist and trotted on Friday. But NOTHING HAPPENED. And my spaces/clots are all healed all ready. It's just NORMAL. Now, anyways. But they ache sometimes. Lol, that sounded like something from "Ladies in Lavendar". Not that I've seen that movie. But I kinda wanted to. Except the violinist's name is ANDREA. And he's a GUY. Sure, sure, that's a GUYS name in Russia/Poland or whatever, but it strikes me as SLIGHTLY odd. I'm an American, I guess.

It was Friday, school was out tonight...

...everything seemed to be all right. I said, "Yo, are you going to the party at the cove?" She said, "He's pickin me up at 6 again and I don't wanna disappoint my boyfriend."
Another great Friday song, not unlike Olivia the Band's "Saturday", only that song was about, well, Saturday. Aaah I'm wearing my compression shorts right now and they are SOOOO comfortable!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHO FINALLY GOT "PARTY PRINCESS" FROM THE LIBRARY??????? MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Except the whole plot has to do with the fact that Mia misunderstood Micheal YET AGAIN and has to figure out that he didn't mean what he said. Whatever. It's still an awesome series. Way better than the All American Girl series. "Ready or Not" was REALLY disappointing; Sam's a major loser. But I think Mia should break up with Micheal. Hello, there's always THE GUY WHO HATES IT WHEN THEY PUT CORN IN THE CHILI, aka J.P.!!!!!!!!
It was weird. I kept running into Donovan today. I seriously ran into him like 4 times and, get this, he ALWAYS has 2nd lunch, but who do I see at first lunch 10:10 in the morning?? DONOVAN, that's who. And he said it was to hang out with his "buds", but then Kyran (I seriously don't know how to spell his name, but whatever. Sorry, dude, if you see this and happen to get offended at me not knowing how to spell your name. Seriously.) was like, "No, you cannot have my fries." So it was interesting.
Unfortunately, we did not get to make babies today in science. :( How unfair. But we did do this survey graph thingie to see who in class had the dominant traits and what not. But seriously, HOW IS HAVING 6 FINGERS ON EACH HAND THE DOMINANT TRAIT? Cuz everyone in class had 5. Not 6. 5! Weirded out.
It was SOOOO weird. I had to give Mrs. Hurd this note to excuse me from running in PE and what not and she was REALLY nice about it. It was like someone had a personality transplant... "Okay, Lauren, hang in there. Was it wisdom teeth?" "No, premolars." "Okay. You don't have to run today. You don't want those clots to start bleeding again." And she was totally sympathetic. But then Evonne told me I smelled like hot chocolate. But I don't. Will Smith does.

I love laughing gas

Dude, if they're teaching you not to do drugs in school, then WHY DO THEY GIVE YOU LAUGHING GAS (or happy gas. Whatever) IN THE DENTIST'S OFFICE? I am so ADDICTED to that stuff now!!!! Cuz I had to go to the dentist to get like half my teeth removed (okay, only 4) and they gave me vanilla happy gas. That was pretty much THE COOLEST experience ever. Except then they turned it down and my mouth wasn't numb, so I felt part of the operation and freaked out and started hyperventilating, and then that would make me snort cuz I had my mouth open and then I raised my hand and they were like, "Hmmmm, needs more Advil..." By then, of course, I couldn't SWALLOW!! But then it wasn't so fun anymore, even tho they talked with me about American Idol the whole time, because they made me put these dumb gauze strips in my mouth and make clots and my mouth was numb and my bottom lip was like bigger than Lisa Rinna's and I LOOKED LIKE A WALRUS and it really hurt. So yeah. I'm still kinda bleeding and everything tastes like blood, like in the last Warriors book that I just finished. Except for milkshakes. They tasted okay. And cheese sandwhiches.
Lol, it was funny in science because Mr. Griffith was all, "Okay, don't jump to any conclusions, but tomorrow we're gonna make a baby," and the whole class goes, "WHAT?" But no, it has to do with Punnett squares or something. And flipping coins. Which is fun. I love genetics. But then we have to make our own root beer on Monday. :P Nasty.
HAHAHAHAHA I DON'T HAVE TO PLAY TROMBONE TOMORROW! And I possibly get to skip PE. Hehehehehe. Well, I can't run or do jump rope, anyways. Maybe I can walk the track while everyone plays wiffleball. :( *starts to sing* I'm all alone, there's no one here beside me. My troubles have all gone, there's no one here to deriiiiiiiiiiide meeeeeeeeeeeeeee....butcha gotta have friends!!
MIRACLE RANCH IN APPROXIMATELY 23 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

Silly potatoes

So I actually created that last post on Monday, but Blogger was all, "THERE WERE ERRORS," so I decided to post it later, but then yesterday, it wouldn't let me on and later when I was GOING to go on, my mom decided to talk on the phone for like 2 hours. Nyaaah... So now I'm back.
I just realized I'm pretty much bad at all sports. Even the ones I like, and I actually like playing most sports (just not WATCHING THEM). But seriously, I'm one of the girls who makes the team for having "the most heart". Blaaaaaaaah how bout no? Like Coach Chris, one who was not such a positive influence on my life, said, "Lauren's not always going to play center because she's tall." Thankfully he didn't add, "Because she's bad at basketball for the most part but has a lot of heart, so I'll make her cheer you guys on." Only that didn't really happen. But he did say the first part, which was weird, cuz I wasn't even the tallest person on the team. There were two people at least 2 inches taller than me. Ooooh amazing. But everyone else was short. But that was last year. I still have my uniform, tho. I wear my shorts for gym.
But yesterday I played wiffleball. It wasn't so bad, even in the outfield, even tho I ended up on the team where the girls either screamed, giggled, and dropped the ball, or didn't throw it and were like, "I WAS MAKING A PLAY!" when there's no one where they threw it. Uh, first base was THAT way... But today Mr. Griffith was in Yakima (can you believe it, he's moving too! I don't even know where Yakima IS!), so we had a sub and I didn't want her to boss me around during wiffleball, so I walked the track. It's definitely spring in Washington. The sun was all shining and the sky was blue and stuff and these nice but slightly annoying breezes were making my hair like that of the model on the Venus commercial, but then Mrs. Hurd started jogging and I had to run to keep her from catching up. Ouch. While NOT running, Evonne and I talked cuz we were bored. We even started on burgers. I love life. And burgers.
Today we started this poster on China (we already DID one, but now we have to do ANOTHER one on a specific subject) and I'm doing mine on Przewalski horses. But I still don't know how to pronounce that. It's pretty interesting, tho, the only other topics were things like Bhuddism, Confucius or whatever, Shinto, Taoism, and the zodiac. Oh yeah, and pandas and dragons. Which everyone's doing. So I went back to my horse roots.
Speaking of horses, MIRACLE RANCH IN 2 DAYS!!!!! Even tho I'll miss the Gong show dress rehearsal, and can't say that I CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSS 3 SOLID (kay, not solid) DAYS WITH HORSES I'M SO STOKED!!!! And I just managed to sound like gross surfer Bethany Hamilton....there goes my day.
AAAAAAAAAH I have to go put Oggy in bed AGAIN. He will NOT shut up and it's like the 3rd time I've put him in bed, so he CANNOT still think I'm not here. Then I have to go on the library site and check for books. So yeah. Gotta go.

MAYDAYMAYDAYMAYDAY!!!!!

I just realized today was May Day. I mean, duh, it's the first day of May, but that wasn't significant to me at first. Then Mrs. Pomeroy was like, "Oh, it's May Day!" and I'm like, "...so...?" I need to change my calendars. But today was a Monday: really stressful and boring. Actually, not so stressful. But it was good to come home to a new sudoku puzzle no one had done from Saturday and a bunch of comics I needed to catch up on (how did Luann get where it is today? No, literally, I miss like one day and I can't follow the storyline). Luke was being evil and cage obsessed. And I think I caught up on all my missed homework. Which was super easy. Because I read three chapters in 20 minutes from "So Far From the Bamboo Grove" and was still one of the first people done. Honorable Mother died. This book is so boring.
It was really weird, we had to watch this play for the remainder of 6th period and all of study hall about not doing drugs. The guys met this girl named "Addie" after going to the "third floor" and kept going "higher". Duh. You're ADDICTED! No need for an ALLEGORY!!!! And the end was super lame. He's all, "Keep talkin, Dad. It's good to hear your voice." And his girlfriend had a weird name. "I'M MLIA!!" Or something.
I'm currently playing with Silly Putty and it's sticking to the keyboard. And I just listened to the rest of a book on tape (Rachel Cohn's "The Steps") for like two hours ON END. It was pretty bad. But the book was okay. It was just the NARRATOR. "That's GROIT!" That was her idea of an Australian accent. And her TV credits include "CSI"? I hope she played a corpse.
Lalalalalalala can't think of anything to say.......except....AAAAAAH WHAT IS UP WITH THE DORK AT MY LIBRARY? I'm 1st in line for "Party Princess", but that means someone already has it and WON'T GIVE IT UP!! They supposedly have like 3 copies, but if that's true, why are the only using one? Or maybe they skipped me. That one librarian never did like me after I had two cards cuz I lost one in that little Pochaco (sp?) purse and my other one DIDN'T WORK. But I check the library site every day and the only book on hold that's currently at the library is "Desert Dancer". Weeeee...
Wife Swap is on tonight. Except cowboy husband goes mental and is all, "PUT ON YOUR HATS, MEN, WE'RE GOING ON A RAID!" Or not. But he does beat up the other lady's husband. Oooooh...this should be interesting. I better go do something other than getting high ON THE 13TH FLOOR!!! Not like I do. But I shouldn't start. That's what the little play company said anyways.

Fast for Food

That's basically what I did from 12:30 P.M. 4/28/06 to 6:30 P.M. 4/29/06. And let me tell you. It. Was. AWESOME!!!!!!!
Okay, not awesome, but it actually wasn't that bad. At first, it's like, "AAAAAH I'M SOOOO HUNGRY," but then you get used to it after a few hours. And since the whole thing was about helping the hungry, it's like, "Well, duh, this is how they must feel every day." But we got juice every few hours. Which made me go to the bathroom like every 3 hours. But not like you need to know that, sorry.
So I was in the Kangere tribe, I think that's how you spell it, and we got owned at like every single tribe game, but not the Albertson's game and the shelter thing. Yeah. Rock on.
So that was basically our 30 Hour Famine. It was pretty darn spiritually uplifting. I can see why Christians sometimes fast. It's cool. Except for like the last 10 minutes, we were doing communion and I was SOOOOO hungry, my stomach was growling and stuff, and then I launched myself out the doors into a world of spaghetti, breadsticks, and garlic bread. And Fritos. And cake.
Grrrrr I just read Book 4 in the Warriors series. Bluestar is evil, she must die. And Tigerclaw. I'm sorry, Bluestar is just a WIMP. "Oh, I should've done this differently, it's ALL MY FAULT!!" *6 chapters later* "IT'S ALL STARCLAN'S FAULT, I'M GOING TO GO PARANOID AND BE BLUE!!!!!!"
OMG William's watching Extra or something and they're talking about Ace Young (as in self-obsessed girl-like Ace) and he's like, "I'm such and such years old and I'm single and ON THE PROWL." EWWWWWWWW!!!!! HOW STALKER IS THAT!!!! It's like, "STEP AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN!!!!" I'd better lock my doors and close my windows. *shivers in bed* Aaaaah...

We are the Knights of Camelot!!

Yeah, so I had to go to school today because it's the last day of WASL and I am so glad I did (especially since Mom pulled me out after WASL was done). WASL ROX!!!!!! I think I'll actually miss it. Cuz after the test, Paul and I told Alexis about "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and she drew manga picture thingies to illustrate what we told her. There was this one with dancing ghosts of Camelot. Dududududududu, dududu, dududu, dududududududu, dududududu. *dead guys claps* My favorite was a picture not from "The Holy Grail", but the Monty Python show on PBS, where an old lady screams, "I DON'T LIKE SPAM!!!" And Alexis drew this picture of a lady killing a bunny with her cane. Or rather beating one up. Same thing.
It was weird. I saw this kid Noah who used to go to the same school as I did last year, before I changed schools and went to the jr. high. He was all playing hackey sack with these kids and I was like, "I know him...IT'S NOAH!!!" But he didn't recognize me, and no wonder, cuz we weren't exactly friends. *shivers* Gross.
Actually, I should be eating lunch right now. Cuz I usually eat lunch at like 10:10 AM. And it's almost 10:30. But Mom said she might make me a form of dairy product...as in milkshake. :) :) :) YAY!!!! Oh gosh. Now I'm REALLY hungry.
Omg, William's watching TV (he's staying home today, too) and it was Rolly Polly Ollie. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. "Geeeollie, Ollie Pollie, your stomollie looks rollie!!!!!" NYAAAAAAH!!! But I did the same thing yesterday. Watch pointless Y7 shows, that is. But just not Ollie. Hold up...IT'S "NANALAND", AS IN BEST CANADIAN PUPPET SHOW EVER!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAH!!!!
Cheating at computer solitaire rox. Just right click. I got a score of 14000. In 52 seconds. So yeah. Right clicking comes in handy.

Blueh

Woke up at 2 AM. Was up for 3 hours, dehydrated and insomniactic (is that even a word?). Then I woke up my parents and puked on my bed. Aren't you glad you go to know this little bit of info? So yeah, I've got the flu and currently have a fever of like 100.2, but I feel AWESOME!! (no joke) I can keep food down now and I get to skip school after last day of WASL, YAY!! But my brain is a little fried from hours of on and off sleeping and "Jakers!". (although watching pigs tramp through Ireland is actually quite relaxing)
About famine: Really confused. My parents were sort of hinting that I wouldn't be able to go (maybe they didn't mean to, but that's what I picked up), but last night, everything was under control and I CAN go. Depending on tomorrow, anyways. It was pretty weird...
That's basically it. I need to check my library account. Cuz I think I MIGHT have "Party Princess" and/or "Size 12 is not fat". Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

A knife would be nice...

Why does my life tend to suck after it seems to be so awesome? I mean, some of it's just little stuff: Alex will NOT get off my back and keeps giving me crap and is all, "What, I was just teasing!" "*trying to kill him* What, I'm just trying to..." And let's not go there. And there's also being really tired, being forced to walk around the track for an HOUR in PE, and stuffs like that. But then there's Mr. Villiers and the latest: no famine. Well, that's not what my parents are saying, but it seems like that. Mostly it's just that I'm disappointed that I'm probably not going to go (didn't I say something about "dropping the bomb" earlier? Hope they didn't read that...), but then again, it's like, "What the flippin heck is wrong with this youth group?" Seriously. At least one pair of parents has a problem with one event, then there's a whole conflict, and the kids (us) try to help, and then the adults are like, "Well, we want your input, but since you have an IQ sigNIFicantly less than mine, I'll modify your idea and make this more complicated." And the whole time I'M supposed to choose sides!!!!! Sometimes, I feel like my parents are TOTALLY overreacting, but this time they're right and it SUCKS cuz everyones going to be all, "You're not going? Oh..." And I'll feel bad. When nothing's my fault. If it were that easy, I'd switch churches. But I can't. And don't want to. But it would be a little bit nice. I remember something said a few years ago that was funny at the time: "It's the summer from hell, ironically at church!" Why does it suddenly apply?
So, while I take some antidepressants, on a more postive note: Yaaay I'm #1 for Party Princess. Woo. *waves noisemaker* Not like I care. And I got "Click here to find out how I survived seventh grade" from the library. "Have you webbed any feet lately?" hahahaha. Ha. haha. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Party Nerd

NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHO'S NUMBER 2 IN LINE FOR "PARTY PRINCESS", UM THAT WOULD SO BE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so obsessed, but I can't help it. Meg Cabot has a cult following; they follow her, like a cult. I got "The Challenger", aka next in Phantom Stallion series, and I looked at the cpu JUST before I checked out and it said I also had "Rising Storm" there, which I have been WAITING for for like 2.5 months. But the librarian didn't give it me, so I was like, "???whatever???" And they gave me this book that my mom had put on hold, cuz they saw the same last name, and then were like, "Wait, this isn't your book..." "No, no it isn't..." "Would you like to check it out for her?" "Sure." And I lost my library card, so they made me use my military ID. And it had this picture of me from like 4th grade and I didn't have my glasses yet I don't think, I don't remember. *looks at it* Wait, yes I do, they're just my old glasses. And I had bangs. But I was wearing a cute top. Anyway, back to library, I put a hold on "Size 12 is not fat" and "A Dangerous Path" (cuz I thought I had RISING STORM AAAAH!!), but I'm still #2 in those lists, too. I'll wait.
Apparently George Gershwin died of a brain tumor. That I did not know. I knew he died at 38, just not what he died from. As I was reading his biography, I was all, "Dude, he's buff and totally fit, he can't have died from a heart attack, HOW DID HE DIE?" His brother was cool, and slightly nerdy, so I identify with him more, cuz George Gershwin wasn't so admirable as I thought. :( But he's still a nifty composer. "RHAPSODY IN BLUE"!!!!
I spent the majority of my afternoon at the library and reading a Hilary Duff biography. Sad. And what is up with her nickname, Juicy? I'd rather live as a worm in a pile of poop then be called "Juicy" to my face. I dunno, maybe that's just me. CMM has a weird shaped face.
Another WASL day, BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! But we had a good snack today. They ACTUALLY gave us Rice Krispie Treats. Okay, so they were the cheapo slightly healthy Little Debbie kind, BUT THEY WERE SOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Monique was like, "Do you want mine?" and I was like, "YESSSSS!" Then during break Mrs. Moon let me take the snack boxes back to the cafeteria. And Mr. Johnson stopped me and asked if I had any food. He's cool. Almost makes me wish I'd joined track/baseball/fast pitch. But not totally.
Lunch was gross, I got 2 pieces of pizza and one had like a mushroom on it, so the flavor of the mushroom was burned into the cheese, and I'd gotten the pieces cuz they were like REALLY big and REALLY cheesy, but I don't know what was wrong, maybe the ovens were broken, they tasted GROSS!!!! It was pure cheese. Which is not a bad thing. But fake lukewarm cheese in large doses can be lethal. *shudders* Even the SAUCE was cheesy. Even the CRUST was cheesy. This wouldn't have been a bad thing if it had come from Pizza Hut, but NO! *shudders again* Then I felt really bad cuz I saw this kid who usually sits with friends but he was alone today and he looked kind of bored, and I was like, "Why don't you go sit with him?" and then I was like, "Um, no I'd rather pray for him." Which isn't a bad thing, but then again it's like, "Don't be a wimp." Cuz oooo I'll pray for him this one time and then what he'll be GONE?
After further examination of this ID, I can conclude that I am my dad's X-chromosomed CLONE. Scary, isn't it?

Mr. Clean

So yesterday was an interesting, spent mostly at Amber's house, infused with episodes of "The A-Team" (MR. T!!!!) and going to the theater where I saw the very awesome "Glory Road" to watch "The Wild", which is basically a cross between "The Lion King" and "Madagascar" with all these "Star Wars" references. Pretty weird. And Emily and I were practically puking over the prescence of strawberry ice cream Skittles. They should be labeled "Bulimia pills". Seriously, if you want to throw up, EAT SOME OF THESE, THEY ARE DISGUSTING!!!!
So yeah. I wrote a song about Mr. T. It's basically the Mr. Clean song with the lyrics changed to benefit (yeah right) the dude Rocky beat in "Rocky III", because I am incapable (sp?) of writing my own melodies.
Today: Not good. But not bad. I just kind of lived through it. In science we're going to make our own root beer. :P Gross, how sick is that? To all those who actually like it: You know what process is used to MAKE root beer? Yeah, that's right. Fermentation. NASTY!!!!!
Question: If wine is made out of fermented grapes, what is beer made out of? Fermented beets? Plus golden rich flavor, football players, cheerleaders in sad excuses for uniforms ("It's just a two-piece." "Oh yeah, then why is one piece of you hanging out?"), and alchohol?
Mr. Villiers is leaving us. Forever. Yeah, that's what he told us the start of second period. "I'm going to China." I don't get it. He says it's an oppurtunity too good to pass up, and not everything's about money and he gets free food, and I don't know if he's a Christian or not, probably not, so this might be some sort of a God thing, but WHY NOW? I'm taking ONE more year of band, couldn't you quit then? Or better yet, NOT AT ALL? :( So everyone's pretty much bummed. Except Emory, who's sick. :P But Mr. Villiers said he's calling this dude my brother had as a band teacher when before he became an all important high schooler. Oh boy.
FAMINE IS IN 4 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I'm doing it, that is. I hope I am. And I'm pretty sure my parents are okay with it. Unless they do that last minute "drop the bomb" thing. Which I HATE! Except I don't wanna be in on the whole "no showers" thing at the famine. Deoderant, yes. Toothbrushes, yes. Sleeping bags, yes. Extra clothes yes. Hair straighteners, shampoo, makeup, and hair brushes, NO. I'm actually okay with the whole makeup and hair straightener thing. But I need a shower. Or my hair gets all oily and NASTY and without a hair brush, I will resemble Stretch on NBA street. Eeeeee...
Gotta go, apparently my connection has failed and my post won't post. Bla.

1 Saturday Morning

If it were a Saturday morning and you were EXTREMELY hungry, what would you eat for breakfast?
a. a piece of Pilsbury Spring Cake that you'd made last night and IS ALMOST GONE ALREADY!
b. two scoops of yellow Spring Funfetti Frosting
c. a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats (with almonds)
Actually, I ate all three. Even the frosting. Which was really good. And I HAD to eat some cake because whenever I make something, someone has like three pieces in the middle of the night and then the next morning there are like three pieces left, so I was selfish and ate some. Lots of sprinkles. But surprisingly, I didn't break a tooth. Yay!
So yep, this is a boring Saturday morning, and I have the women's tea at 1:00, but other than that, I have pretty much nothing to do. Besides clean the bathroom. And get Luke some food. We're actually making progress, he let me pet him without biting or growling first. And, dare I say it, I actually like him. :)
Nathan had this talent show thing last night and he went. Most of the judges thought he was really good (except for the ones who, like me, don't get hip hop, so I felt kinda bad cuz I probably would've given a half hearted score) and this lady asked him to perform at this Hip Hop Church. And I told Amber and she was like, "YES!!!!!" So we're probably going to get someone to drive us (illegally, if possible, like the girl in Sleepover; adds to the suspense.) there and be like, "HEY NATHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And he'll be like, "I don't know them." Then he'll flip his hat to the back and he'll call it a lid. You know what else he did? He stacked books from the floor to the ceiling. Said something about trying to get to heaven... Actually, I should stop there cuz Nathan isn't 11. And that's how the song goes...
Gong show practice RULES! Except Tiffany was trying to pull me into a group hug and I accidentally rammed my foot REALLY HARD into her shoe, so it was all red and swollen, and I was like, "Oh no." But it's not broken like last time, which wasn't her fault either cuz it had nothing to do with her, and basically this time it was my fault. And then Sean was all laughing during LOTR, so I started laughing and the play's supposed to be all serious and I felt sorta bad. Then Jason, as Gimli, fell backwards and kicked the pedestal (music stand) thing over, which was pretty much the awesomest thing ever. And it stunk, cuz Jeannie had brought a video camera, but we didn't get it on tape. And today I'm going to the church again....and I get PIZZA!!!!!

Olivia's subliminal messages

NOT A FRIDAY KIND OF FEELING, WEEK IS OVER, WEEKEND BEGINNING, OR A SUNDAY, FOLLOW MONDAY! NO THIS IS A SATURDAY AND I'M FEELING GREAT, ONE THING LEFT TO DO, TIME TO SAY, "BEAUTIFUL DAY", TIME TO SAY, "BEAUTIFUL DAY, THESE DAYS ARE FEW AND SOMETHING WHEAT? (sweet, maybe) GET ON YOUR FEET AND SING ALONG WITH ANGELS AS THEY CRY THANK YOU FOR LIFE NEVER TAKING ANY BREATH OR ANY SECOND FOR GRANTED, I WILL FAIL YET I WILL TRY!!!
*sniff* I love Olivia. Actually they're really called Olivia the Band, but whatever. So yeah, that's kind of how I felt today cuz it's WEEKEND!!! THREE DAYS IN A ROW OF NO WASL (none on Monday, either! :) School tho.)
So today wasn't so bad. It was writing WASL, but I can't say what it's about cuz the state's all paranoid and act like Harrison Ford is going to steal all their textbooks...BECAUSE HE CREATED THE SECURITY SYSTEM! Weird moment there. Science, I finished my drawing and stuff, and band was cool, but I HATE 3RD LUNCH NYAAAAAH!!!! PE was so boring, it was supposedly a "free day" (we could do basically whatever we wanted as long as we were moving), and I tried playing hockey with some guys, but Daniel was like total control freak and telling me what to do and then Sam was like, "FOUL, TOO MANY BLUES!" so I was like, "Whatever, I'll quit." So I just walked the track instead. Which was way boring. Cuz we had to run or power walk or Mrs. Hurd would catch us and get a zero. Not cool. She walks FAST!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I BEAT "DIAMOND MYSTERY OF ROSEMOND VALLEY"!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! (note: if you haven't played this game and don't want to know the ending, DON'T READ ON!!!!) Yeah, it was Bob and Carla, which wasn't very hard to believe (I'd figured out the Malcolm and Lucy thing anyway, so yeah, it was easy), and they stole the diamonds and ripped of Peter Parker or whatever his name was, the dude that married Kit Grace. Then I'd all put the diamonds in the display case, and she took them out and an alarm went off and closed all the exits. It was funny. But the end's dumb, everyone's at the diner, and Emma's talking about this pirate legend cuz she's an "ace reporter" like that.
"Party Princess" is taking forever at the library. I've been #6 for several weeks. But I moved up to #5 today. YAY!!

If I only had a brain (doo dee doo dee dododo doo)

SERIOUSLY? What is WITH people and heroines with glasses?
For example:
Harriet the Spy had glasses. But not in the movie.
Megatroid (or was is Megatron? I forgot) had glasses (at least before "A Swiftly Tilting Planet"). But not in the "A Wrinkle In Time" movie that I stayed up watching for like four hours when it came out.
This is true of several other books made into movies. SO WHY "HOOT"?
Seriously, I'm reading the book before the movie comes out, because the movie looks okay and if you read the book AFTER you see the movie, it ruins all the unique character pictures you could've come up with. Like me and LOTR. I saw the movies first. Even tho the books are like way better. But back to "Hoot".
BEATRICE TOTALLY HAS GLASSES!!!!!! And CURLY, but not STRAIGHT GIRLY SURFER, blonde hair!!!! And in the movie? Really tan, not so tall (not taller than Roy, anyways), NO GLASSES. Who is this, BRIDGET from "The Sisterhood of the Flippin Traveling PANTS"?
Okay. Now I'm done.
So yeah, I haven't really been on. The last two days haven't been worth commenting on. WASL is boring, as usual, but we got a break from it today. But tomorrow we have it again.
I FINALLY FIGURED OUT "THE DIAMOND MYSTERY OF ROSEMOND VALLEY"! I spent like half an hour looking for cheat codes on Google (and stumbled upon several computer hacking websites that my cpu labelled as "criminal content"), BUT IT FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!! I found the poison arrow and went from chapter 4 to CHAPTER 7!!! Which is THE LAST LEVEL! But I didn't finish the game cuz I'd been playing for a while. And Emma has this thing for Malcolm? It's weird. And I convinced Tom to get a haircut. And I think Bob's a criminal. Boo, bad Bob.
I never thought I'd get so addicted to a series. Well, I should've learned my lesson last time with "Jedi Apprentice". I only read those books for a joke, but I got so addicted and they became like my favorite books ever. But this time, it's "Phantom Stallion". Yeah, they're corny, and Sam's a lame character, but it's like HORSE FIX TIME!!! Cuz these people actually ride western. It's not like Saddle Club and Pony Pals (gag, not like I read those anymore) where everyone's all, "Shall we have some tea?" "After I polish my quirt. Cheerio, cheerio!" Don't get me wrong, I like English (which is what I'm going to be doing for 2 solid days at Miracle Ranch in May: ride English. Lucky me. :) Seriously.), but I learned on Western and I like it a little more. YAAAAY FOR THE PHANTOM STALLION!!!!

Flavor: 17

I just watched the end of "Celebrity Cooking Showdown" that Mom taped for me last night after she made me go to bed. Here I was, all rooting for Tony, AND HE UP AND LOSES!!!! At least Allison lost. That made me happy. She was annoying. Cindy was okay, but when Alan Thicke was commenting on her chicken breasts, I was like, "Are you sure those are the breasts you're looking at?" I thought the affagado (sp?) sundae looked pretty darn good, except for the espresso. That's just nasty. Weird: I don't like coffee, but French Silk is like my favorite flavor of ice cream. This is definitely going to be my new favorite show. And it's on TONIGHT!! YEAAAAH! Who needs American Idol when you've got CELEBRITY COOKING SHOWDOWN!?!?!?!?
My grandma sent me an e-mail of optical illusions. I figured ONE out, cuz it was really easy (it was impossible not to see OPTICAL spelled straight across the horizon), but couldn't figure out the other ones. (who know inside the word me, you could spell you?)
Since both my parents were too busy to cook, Mom bought us pizza. It was Pizza Hut, too, so I was like, "YESSSSS!!!" But she wouldn't buy the cheesy bites kind. I'm sorry, I think it looks good. Except for the commercials. That curly haired dude looks like he could be the older brother of someone I know. I bet his name is Ronald. *GASP* HE'S THE SON OF RONALD MCDONALD!!!!!!!!
I am plotting the assassination of my brother, who's now like president of his senior class or something. So I was trying to get him to choke on water/craisins all through dinner, but he wouldn't, which ruined the part of my plan about self inflicted injury. (If he chokes, it's technically not my fault, right?)
I had donuts today. They were squished. And melty. But still kinda cold. Which reminds me of the GROSS discussion we had in science, about McDonalds and their preservatives. (how many times have they gotten sued? Remind me never to watch "Supersize me". My bad, I'll probably have to watch it freshman year. *shudder*) Okay, so I was wrong, they don't give cows hormones to genetically alter their babies into long lasting milk producing FIENDS!!!!! But I could be right. If I'm not, what's with the cow on the Kraft cheese snack packages? Is it some kinda secret code??? "What are you doing?" "Spying on Agent W!"

Sore leg muscles leed to instantaneous DEATH

One of the bridge verse things from B5's "Get'cha head in the game" pretty much describes my thought pattern for this last week, despite my efforts to stop. Except I had to switch all the "she"'s to "he"'s. Cuz I'm a girl. And pretty straight. Pretty darn straight.
Here I am, legs sore beyond belief, munching on a chocolate marshmallow egg. I'd rather've had some of my grandma's pound cake, but there was only a little left, and I didn't want to eat any of my bunny cuz whenever I get an Easter bunny that's Palmer's, I always give it a personality, then feel bad when I bite off his head. Cuz I have an active imagination like that. Hello. So I settled for chocolate egg.
Today was MESSED UP cuz of the WASL. I had to go right to Mrs. Moon's room, where I spend 2 hours of my day anyway, and had to sit behind PAUL!!! But that was okay, cuz we made fun of the so called snacks they gave us. Seriously, FROZEN ORANGE JUICE? In APPLESAUCE CONTAINERS? Weirded out. o_O So we were all, "It looks like a smoothie." "But it's not smooth. Aw man, sucked all the juice out." "That's what you do with popsicles." "Shouldn't we call it an ie?" And random stuff like that. And at the break, Toni and I ate Cheetos.
The rest of the day was WEIRD! I usually have 1st lunch, but lunch today went by your 1st period teacher, so I had 3rd, but I wasn't hungry, and I'm not now either, which is weird for me, I just want JUNK FOOD!!!!!! Then in band, Emory learned a new word ("queer"; it's like, "Hello, as if that hasn't been around for so long already...") and was using it on us, but we either rolled our eyes and ignored him or congratulated him on expanding his vocabulary. To which he replied with another barrage of insults. Whatever.
PE: NOT COOL!! They made us do a cross country AND get 4000 steps!!!!! I did better this time (10:52 as opposed to my 11:14 last time) and got 4282 steps, after walking with a bounce so my stupid digiwalker would work. It's weird: whenever we do digiwalkers, I always manage to end up with a blue one. Not on purpose either. What's wrong with me?
"Snail Mail No More" should so have a sequel, cuz it's one of my favorite books and it's NECESSARY!!!!! I know it's already kind of a sequel, but still, I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HOWIE!!! AND WHETHER HE AND ELIZABETH ENDED UP TOGETHER OR BROTHER AND SISTER!!!!! CUZ IT'S HAUNTING ME!!! EVEN THO I HATE ELIZABETH!!!! And if Little Bo will contract a horrendous disease and destroy the entire population. *shrugs* It would be nice.
Does he think about me, does he feel the same way,
should I go for the three, something something blaaaaa...
Think I'm going insane.
Can't get him outta my brain!

Easter aftermath

Surprisingly, my digestive tract is still intact. Hey, I'm a poet, and I don't even know it. *gag* How lame is that?
TOMORROW IS WASL!!!!!
Pros of WASL week (even tho I've never taken it; having gone to a private school for the last 3 years, I just did "Achievement testing"):
-parents give you junk food for breakfast (OTIS SPUNKERMEYERS!!!)
-chips are permitted for snack time (need my itos: Cheetos, Doritos, Fritos. Cooler ranch = nasty)
-a lotta free time if you finish early
But that's pretty much it. I'm not that excited. It's not like they're giving us a half day LIKE THEY SHOULD!!!!! BLAAAAAAAH SCHOOL BOARD IS EVIL!!!!!!
So I'm pretty much just posting for the sake of posting. I had a lot of stuff to say earlier, but I was a. making sure the holes in my ears hadn't closed up completely, and cleaning them after they swelled from my constant prodding, b. reading my Bible (make time for the Lord, thank you, not have him make an appointment) c. eating (I, dare I say it, am having a "growth spurt", as some of you might call it, and now eat approximately 4 meals a day. It's slowing down, tho, so it might be over soon), so I can't remember any of it now.
"The Chase" isn't as good as "Lion Boy" yet. Slightly boring. Besides, all this Zizou Corder is going to my brain. GET THE ALLERGENIES!!!! NYAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!
William's "Dynasty Warriors" is REALLY ANNOYING right now. "We're falling behind! NOOO! *deep grunt and sigh of pain*" But it's way overdramatic. Which I totally crave. For cartoon characters, they sure no how to get their.....lost it.

HAPP YEASTER!!!!!

Lol that was totally on someone's Myspace. I don't have one, so don't think I do. But seriously, what is with peope's obsessions with Myspace? You just blog, put scary photos of yourself on it, get random people to be your friends and then shun them by putting a selected few in your top 8, and seeing cults of people online obsessed with pretending to be celebrities (so far the cult includes a few Jessica fans, several Paris followers, and a Britney double. that I've seen, anyway. As of like, yesterday)
So, yesterday. No youth band practice, like my dad and I thought, so rather than wait there while the adults practice for a seemingly endless two hours, Mrs. Rarig dropped me off at Jocelyn's and Jeannie straightened my hair. After which everyone at youth group (minus the guys, who could care less) was like, "OMG IT'S ADORABLE!!!!" I thought I looked slightly punk goth. But it wasn't that bad. But I washed my hair this morning (like always, why stop now?) and it's back to curlyish whatever.
Soooooo Easter today....I actually don't want to go on in detail, so read on:
Morning: skipped church breakfast for the first time in like ever in favor of bear claws and oatmeal. Oh yeah, and chocolate. SCORE: got a Big Ears. Mrs. Moon might not like Palmer bunnies, but I do. :) Half his ears are gone already. I'm just past where the left ear (his left, my right; Big Ears', I mean) flops over. So yeah. I consumed a lot of chocolate.
Church: Wore my green striped Montanaan shirt (no offense, Montanaans, I like the shirt) and rocked out to "Your Grace is Enough" on drums. Got freaked out, tho, when I started to play and THERE WAS NO SOUND!!!!! But then they gave my drums sound and I was like, "Phew." Couldn't sing Easter hymns (which, believe it or not, I actually enjoy) with the choir or listen to what my parents said was a really good sermon because I was in NURSERY!!!! It was SO pointless, cuz all the moms of the babies WOULDN'T LEAVE, so they didn't even need me, but I had to miss Easter Sunday anyways? I did get to play with Payton, tho, cuz his mom did leave and came back several times to walk him around and stuff, but he was funny, even tho he almost killed Olivia by sitting on her (accidentally).
Grandma's: Ate Easter lunch (for me, ham, a lot of rolls, chicken, and turkey. And the majority of the Easter candy she gave me. Was kind of weirded out that people have forgotten how much I like horses. Sure, I like ducks, but I've been liking horses FOR A LOT LONGER and I like them a HECK of a lot more than ducks. But I doubt there were chocolate Easter ponies. Oh well. It tasted good. Braeden got a white chocolate/milk chocolate swirl cat. Looked good. But she's too smart to trade. And she's only 5!!!!! Greg has a Johnny Storm (aka HUMAN TORCH) haircut. But it looks good. And little cousins (Brooke and Lachy) are funny, even when throwing tantrums. And they can kind of say words now. Lachlan has moved on from "Baniiiiis" to "NANAS!!!", which he screams at my grandpa and his parents while they're eating banana cream pie. The rest of the day, I just ate a lot of pound cake and tried to read "Princess in Pink" and "Dark Sunshine" while waiting for Grandma's computer to finish installing Printshop so I could blog/look at my library account, but that never happened, so I just played solitaire and attempted minesweeper (her custom setting didn't work. Nyaaaah). Then we left with pound cake, pie/cake stuff, and a few movies we could borrow ("RED BOOTS FOR CHRISTMAS"! MY FAVE!!!! It's like this Lutheran cartoon, and it's hilarious without trying to be funny. Or maybe I just have a sick sense of humor. Whatever). So yeah.
Okay, I know I love to write, but I already have a blog, and that's basically an online journal (omg, journal is THE dumbest word on the history of the planet. Besides DIARY!! I remember when I was like 9 and my stepcousin ((I think that's how we're related, anyways)) Corey was like, "YOU'RE WRITING IN YOUR DIARY!" and I got really mad cuz diaries are for losers. And when I saw a Zorro cartoon and he talked about his diary, I made fun of him till the end of time. That Zorro cartoon was NOT very realistic. Robots were involved and I was like, "WHEN does this take place???? Uh, BEFORE ROBOTS!!!"), and they're pretty, but what use are REAL journals to me? I've TRIED keeping a blog and keeping a NOTEBOOK (I REFUSE to give into your stupid journalish terms!!) and it's not easy. It's one or the other. And I can't just be like, "Oh this one will have my early writing attempts in it," cuz it says JOURNAL ON THE FRONT! That means DAILY RECORD!!!! How bout no? And if I try to write fantasy novels on here, y'all will be like, "Aaaaaaah, she's CRAZY!!!"
Omg, I just reread that. And I take myself way too seriously. Like that girl I once read about who was like, "Oh, I'm so POSITIVELY brilliant, I wish EVERYONE were as smart as ME!" Like I'm really gonna be a novelist when I grow up. Because in like EVERY student textbook on the PLANET (okay, no, that's just college ed texties), they're all, "YOU CANNOT BE JUST A WRITER, YOU NEED ANOTHER JOB TO SUPPORT YOURSELF." And I'm all, "Hello, that's why you get MARRIED to someone who HAS a job!" But in College Ed, they're all, "YOU ARE NEVER GETTING MARRIED, NO ONE IN YOUR PARENT'S GENERATION WENT TO COLLEGE, GET A JOB AT MCDONALD'S CUZ IT IS REWARDING." Which isn't true. Although, I do spend a lot of time saying how I'm never getting married lately. I'm not going like feminist or anything. I just don't really want to. I mean, basic American couple scenario: Man has job. Woman cleans house and BALANCES CHECKBOOK! I don't know HOW to balance a checkbook!!! And when I hear my parents talk about our monthly budget, it takes like 2 HOURS to plan that stuff out!!!! And it's all because of US KIDS!! I'd rather be a loner writer working at a bookstore, thank you. Or a missionary. Or a vet. Darn, I had another job interest in the "Human Resource/Helper/whatever" field, but I forgot. I dreamt about it last night, too. Grrr...
