When you think about it...

...Nair is sort of disgusting.
It does awful, awful things to your bodily hair.
When you feel the hair in question, it's awful and stringy and disgusting.
But that's after not shaving for a while.
It keeps the hair away longer! Yay!
Enough about that. I probably shouldn't be telling you that.
Ahem.
The crazy cheerleader that made me so angry yesterday is once again sending confusing signals.
But what else is new?
Soooooo one day she's insulting me, and the next she's trying to engage in stimulating conversation?
Or throwing herself at the guy I like for weeks at a time, then joking around with me and ignoring him for three days in a row?
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??????????????
I doubt her intention is to make my life hell.
At least not all the time.
But it's so weird. I can't figure her out.
And there are days when I'm bipolar like that, too, so I can sort of understanding, but still...?
Confused.
The oral book reports continued today.
I was really surprised by the one this one kid gave.
He did it on Laurie Halse Anderson's "Speak", which was a good book, but he didn't just like it, but it seemed like it really affected him.
And he was super honest in answering the questions about how he related to the main character and how he felt for her and you could tell me meant all of it.
It was really cool, because I'd never seen that part of him before.
He might be an ENFJ. Hm.
But, when reading up on personality types on this amazing website, they mentioned that everyone is different. Even a group of 20 ISTJs are completely different people, even though they might think or act similarly in certain situations.
So it helped remind me not to prejudge or go off on another rant about Sensors vs. Intuitives or Judgers vs. Perceivers.
Even when someone was asked WHY men abuse women, and someone answered with WHAT men do to women.
Because they gave the WHAT information, it was assumed they'd also covered WHY.
And the Intuitives in the room freaked out. Myself included.
It's part of dealing with people, I guess.
Phew. Sophomore's almost done. 4 more days. Then a whole summer of missions, sun, and working on people skills.
And teambuilding, now that you mention it.
Hm. Our team better start planning soon. And drama! The meeting's in two days! Memorize script!
AND FINALS ARE NEXT WEEK.
Phew.

Could I be different, too?

Nobody knows you, nobody knows you like I do.
"Lagaan" sucks. Surprise! Bollywood musical! But everyone who's seen it has apparently loved it.
The dialogue is awful, and the acting isn't much better.
:P
But "La Belle et La Bete" is pretty fantastic, for a 40's fantasy movie.
The special effects are cheesy, but kind of cool.
Except for the faces on the mantle. And the bed covers that pull back by themselves.
Just about peed my pants watching those.
The Beast is kind of a creeper, but not as much as Avenant, who practically rapes Belle in the first 5 minutes.
If she says no, it's rape!
But he apparently doesn't care.
Luckily, Ludovic walked in.
Ludovic is sort of an awful person, but a nice brother. At least to Belle.
But he tells Avenant to slap his other sister (who's crazy), so Avenant does, and then he gets all mad and is like, "HOW COULD YOU SLAP MY SISTER? WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND MY FAMILY!? NEVER TOUCH HER AGAIN! EVEN THOUGH I DON'T LIKE HER AND SORT OF WANT HER TO DIE ANYWAY!!!"
Okay.
A bunch of people are doing Running Start next year, which is a waste of time, but I can't stop them, which I want to, because it's a waste of time and other such things.
But I guess I can't stop them.
But one of my friends keeps asserting that NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE and that we'll still hang out ALL THE TIME and she'll GO TO PROM and everything.
But it won't be the same, and she refuses to see that, but I can't TELL HER THAT.
And she acts like I'm challenging her decision ALL THE TIME, but I haven't said anything, because she's doing it no matter what I say, so why bother?
We have new seats in English, and they suck.
Terribly.
Because all the annoying people gravitated to the same spot.
And just have fascinating conversations.

His weak chin shaking in anger....

You Are Macaroni and Cheese

Compared to most people, you are quite playful. You are a big kid at heart. It doesn't take much to make you happy. You live for simple, happy moments. You are very content. You don't try to make life overly complicated. You remain thankful for whatever you have. Even if it isn't much, you make the best of things.

What Pasta Dish Are You?

It's always nice to spend an entire day doing nothing.
Lisa left this morning. Tie told her off for waking up so early.
She left me "The Kite Runner". I'm 100 pages in and it's good, but also sad. It's impossible to completely hate Amir, though, because though his reasons were selfish...I don't know. I just don't hate him.
Poor Hassan, though.
Nazis suck.
"Eclipse" is dragging. I need to finish "The Deathly Hallows" and "Inkheart", not to mention loads of library books, so I'm rather tied up at the moment.

The Saxons are coming!!!

I finished "The Three Damosels" and it pretty much taught me everything I need to know about life.

1. If you're forced to marry a creepy old man, he won't take advantage of you.

2. A good way to test your relationship with your man is to disguise yourself as a hag and nurse him back to health.

3. If you and are your true love are slain, an old man is likely to come by and bring you back to life.

4. Life is so much easier if you're pretty, but it's also less exciting.

5. Revenge is never worth it; also, beheading a rapist is not as satisfying as it seems.

6. Finding the Holy Grail is surprisingly easy.

7. Never let an old man take your Holy Wafers.

8. It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. (I still think that's a load of bull.)

9. Never change clothes in an emergency situation.

10. When an old dead king says he'll come again, he's probably just being metaphorical.

11. Dragons are really easy to kill with four people and some sticks.

12. Being joined together by a dead guy is the equivalent of being married by a priest.

13. When you think you've won the battle, you're probably wrong.

14. Ugly guys make the best partners, because it's what's on the inside that counts...except during battle, these guys are more susceptible to massive (and often fatal) head wounds. No one quite knows why.

15. Women are just as cool as men.
Which is basically the most important rule of all.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

"God Wants You to Shine" was pretty spectacular. The creepy drummer guy tries to rape Faith in a bathroom, but she runs away and her little brother protects her. It was so sweet. Then later he (the brother) gives her his autographed Yankees baseball and is all, "Whenever you look at that baseball, I want you to know I've got your back."
But she gives it back and he gleefully accepts it.
Nellie is still a horrible friend, but then she realizes that what goes on between Faith and Niles is NONE OF HER BUSINESS, and then she gets burned big time by Ethan, so Faith stays friends with her.
They adopt Faith's cousin Belle, too, because her mom got in a car accident, like in "Raising Helen" (only unlike that movie, the mom doesn't die...and they never say what happened to the dad). But they seperate Belle from her brothers...what's up with that?
INFP.
Anyways, NILES!!!!!! He just randomly comes up to Faith one day and is all, "Well, I'm going to be honest with you. I really like you. I think about you all the time. I know all of your schedule, and show up all the time in the halls."
!!!!!!!!!!!
Kind of creepy, but what teenage guy would have the balls to say that to someone's FACE?
But Faith is like, "Well, I want to still be friends with Nellie, so I can't be with you." Then she runs away.
But later, she's like, "Niles, are you dating anyone else, because I'm sort of in love with you," and Niles is all, "Sweet!!"
But they're not going out or anything.
Yet.
Faith is KIND of a Christy Miller, but a lot better and more relatable.
And she's not dating a surfer named Todd, thank goodness.
Yeah, that's how I spent my morning.
There was an article in Christianity Today that was like, "How do we save Christian bookstores? Stop making them so religious!"
So true.
