You shall above all things....

Math WASL is over.
Thank goodness.
Gee, I wonder if I passed.
I'll be on the edge of my seat until the results get back...
...in August.
Waste of time.
Ew, "West Side Story"....
This whole stupid situation has just gotten worse.
And a lot of it's my fault.
And the fact that we're both immature idiots.
"The Scarlet Pimpernel" is my life.
He's done wrong! He can't be trusted! I have to hide my feelings! But true love prevails!
Only this isn't true love. But he's my best friend, which is why this sucks.
Lol, romanticizing teenage conflict. So fun.
But seriously, "The Scarlet Pimpernel" is the greatest movie we've watched all year.
Ian McKellen! Jane Seymour! Ew, Percy Blakeny has a very weak chin. It's rather hard to take him seriously.
They seek him here, they seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere...

Karma: Attractive people having ugly babies

But the babies shouldn't be punished for it.
Just their parents.
AAAAAAAGH I was playing with my Princess Diaries Sims and all the teens went to college.
They all looked pretty good for young adult sims, at least pretty normal.
Then Michael Moscovitz got out of the car.
He used to look like this. He's the only one not wearing glasses.

You don't even want to know what he looks like now. Actually, I'd show you, but I don't have a current picture of him.
Speaking of babies, Tyler and I made one together. Her name is Captain and she has black hair, blue eyes, clodhopper feet, and is freakishly tall.
Tyler made her look disgusting.
Great. Our child is a clown.
Even though, seeing as we're cousins, she should have three heads and flippers, so I guess she doesn't look that bad.
Classes for next year! Paul and Kevin are taking English Lit with me, but Amanda is going full time at the college (lame) and Emma is dropping out of band.
So next year has some possible suckage.
Ugh, if any of my teachers mentions the WASL one more time, I'm going to walk out.
THE WASL IS A WASTE OF TIME.
THERE IS NO NEED TO PREPARE.

It won't be long, yeah

I really missed daily discussions about horses the other day.
Then Alexis and I spent all of PE talking about riding.
NO!!!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!
SCREW YOU!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH I saved that A MILLION TIMES!!! I pressed "SAVE DRAFT" 80 BILLION TIMES!!!!
HOW CAN IT NOT BE SAVED?????????
That's the third freaking time!!!!
HAAAAAAATE!
Yes, Timothy T. Mitchum. Soothe my frazzled nerves.
Enough, Jaclyn Moriarty.
Her books always suspend belief.
And not in a good way.
Motorcycles? True love? Mock trials? The circus?
No. We're done here, Jaclyn.
Because I know for a fact that Australia is just as boring as the United States.
Only they have kangaroos.
Finals week has been sort of boring. And the finals themselves were nothing to be scared of.
EXEMPT!!!
Yay for friendly fringies.

Mmm, sounds good right about now.

Your Ideal Island Vacation is Nevis

On an island vacation, you need the sun, the beach, the sand, and the ocean. In other words, it doesn't take much to make you happy. That's what the vacation is for. Nevis is perfect for a true island vacation aficionado like yourself. It's underrated, small, and laid back. Sure, it's a slower pace, but that's ideal. You won't be overwhelmed with activities, and you'll take the time to truly relax.

What's Your Ideal Island Vacation?

Happy Finals Week, everybody.

Would it still smell gross if I was alive?

We just started "Night" in English class.
The narrator concludes that God is dead after watching children burn in the ovens.
The foreword was about a Christian who met up with the author and had no way to comfort him.
It's pretty heartwrenching.
Some people are really cool, but they never talk!!
THE BOYS ARE BACK, THE BOYS ARE BACK!!
Sing it, Corbin, sing it!
My friend and I spent a whole weekend thinking one was mad at the other.
Seems like everyone's full of lies these days.
I got my ASVAB results back!
I'm in the 99th percentile in my class for verbal and math scores, but only in the 80th percentile for science.
Then, in the packet they gave us, we had to fill out a survey of activities we'd like to do.
I'd rather write a musical than fix a leaky faucet.
Surprisingly, I scored in the 96th percentile for Social careers.
So, with high verbal and math scores, I should be a secondary English teacher.
That made me kind of excited.

What Your Height Says About You

You are a true adventurer, and you live for the thrill. You have a lot of charisma, and you're good at convincing people to join you in your schemes. You are open to the world, and you make connections easily. You have lots of friends. You are likely to have many life paths to choose from. There are many possibilities open to you. You are about as tall as the average British man.

What Does Your Height Say About You?

Happy colors and fashion advice

Fridays are so great. Best day of the week.
I finally took my chocolate to school again and sold almost half my remaining bars.
Progress reports don't come out until next week, but I'm pretty sure I'm passing each class with at least a high B.
WE DIDN'T FAIL THE HISTORY TEST!
Kay wasn't here today and missed the movie about parasitism. :( The bird ate the zits of the mistletoe and then crapped them onto the tree!
No more subtitles. We're so screwed.
Janessa's party is tonight, and I'm pretty pumped.
But there's so much to do.
Ew, gross. I think I'm fighting a losing battle.
In math, we just started STANDARD DEVIATION!! YES! I'm good at this!!
Alexander the Great was a hottie, apparently.
Tie's foot started bleeding all over the carpet when I got home from school.
And that interesting tidbit and the fact that I have nothing else to say means it is, in fact, a Friday.

You should be an electrician

You Would Be a Good Spouse 35% of the Time

In general, you have the skills and ability to make a marriage work. However, you're still a bit too selfish to be a good spouse. You almost always put yourself first. If you want to have a good marriage (either someday or right now), you're going to have to give more than you take. Be proactive every day. Work on being a good friend, family member, and partner. With practice, you'll be an excellent spouse.

Would You Be a Good Wife or Husband?

Hahaha I love life.
That explains why both Sierra and I want to die as 80-year-old virgins.
Kay draws amazing pictures. There was the elephant victory cry, and then her panda ate my elephant. It was quite graphic.
Paul was emo. He didn't like our solutions. He even drew a pencil so he wouldn't have to deal with any surprise "get better" hugs.
We took the ASVAB today. It was basically a gigantic military-issued aptitude test. A bunch of officers gave us super-sharp pencils and were super OCD about the perforated edges.
The best part was missing 3 class periods.
Then, when it was all over, I realized I'd just missed my 3 favorite classes of the day and had nothing to look forward to.
Besides French.
Dang it.
Tyler and I bombed that history test. The 10 points we got taken off didn't help.
That class sucks. All my friends have another teacher and talk about how much they LOVE history, where they get to make pyramids out of donuts.
It's not so fun when you have a teacher who loves history but has no idea how to make it interesting, besides allowing girls to bring in cake.
Ugh, I'm not happy with how my dad handled the whole worship team "situation". He called the youth leader and told him how "upset" William and I were and sort of put it all on him, but WE WEREN'T MAD AT HIM!! Our problem was with the kids!!!
And then he ended up being on his side, saying he understood "his point of view".
But he'd totally missed the point.
"He doesn't want to penalize the kids that can't come."
But it seems like he's penalizing the ones that actually do. "Thanks for showing up...we don't need you."
ASVAB results won't come for a few weeks. So today was a waste of time.
I'm going to end up as an electrician.

You Are a Chicken

You are a naturally curious and inquisitive being. You are often poking your nose where it doesn't belong! Collecting nuggets of knowledge is important to you. You enjoy knowing everything you can. You are very independent and strong willed. You don't like to be bossed around, and you do as you please. You are quite determined and able to take on challenges. You will “peck away” at a problem until it's gone.

What Animal Are You?

The Epic of Gilgamesh

Ooooooooooh. I know I failed that history test. I don't think anybody studied, or even read the chapter.
At least Mr. Hurd gave us freebies.
Tyler looks surprisingly good with his head shaved. And the seedlings are really soft.
It's kind of like he's always had a shaved head.
Though he does sort of look like a skinhead.
Ugh, people who think they're utterly superior bug me.
I guess that's why I won't be going to UW.
It's just annoying when my friends start acting that way.
And I know I act that way about some things.
I just never knew how annoying it could be.
Youth group SUCKS. It's like everytime I go is some new drama.
So I'm minding my own business and I get hit in the face with a ball, hitting me square in the nose and popping both lenses out of my glasses.
Nice, guys. Real nice.
So I start crying and Sierra had to fix my glasses and some guy (whose name I never learned) got me some ice.
That set the stage for a wonderful evening.
And my nose still hurts. At first, my mom told me it wasn't broken, but now she's saying it might be.
Ugh. All I know is it's even larger than normal.
My dad was listening to a pastor on the radio talk about homosexuality, and he supposedly "drove his point home" by stating, "Homosexuality was a non-issue until the Bible came out."
And that was supposedly a REALLY good point that showed how wrong homosexuality really is.
?????
Seriously?? If I were a non-Christian, that would just convince me that the Bible is stupid and homophobic and God is screwed up.
I think my dad wants grandchildren. He snatches up every baby he sees.
Well, no, he doesn't, because that would be weird.
But when there's a baby at our house, he's like, "Baby! *scoop*" and holds it for 12 hours.
Matt was pregnant, but he gave birth and someone stepped on the baby. OUR baby.
Then he kept sucking on that stupid smoothie.
"Can I have some brown sugar Pop Tarts?"
"Cherry?"
"You're going to ruin your life! RUIN IT!"

Ha ha, I'm an it!

Your Surfing Habits are 40% Male, 60% Female

There's no way we can tell whether you're a man or woman. Of all the internet users, you are the most broad based in your habits. You use the internet for research and your career. But you also use the internet to keep in close touch with your loved ones.

Do You Use the Internet Like a Man or a Woman?

This always happens.
Have you ever, shall we say, lost something. You can't find it and you're really mad because you KNOW you didn't touch it and you always keep it in a certain place and it's supposed to be RIGHT THERE all the time!
So you keep trying to find it, but after a while you forget about it.
And then it turns out it was right where it was supposed to be. You're just stupid.
Why am I not a very nick-name-y person?
WHOA. Blogthings has this AMAZING site for requests and such. I just went on and it's BEAUTIFUL.
Like a true nerd, I requested "Rent" quizzes.
Agh. One person likes this idea.
Please help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
We have a bunch of tests all in a row. :P
Ow ow ow ow ow.

Kookabura...gum...something like that...

It's days like these, when the rain won't stop, thunder and lightning are abundant, and my internet is slow, that I love Washington.
Note the sarcasm.
Driver's Ed is FINALLY over.
We had our final test today and I passed!!
Eh, I was pretty sure I would, because the test wasn't too hard, but it's good to know anyway.
Except I didn't have time to feel cocky and triumphant (which is good; I need to work on NOT feeling that way) because nearly everyone else failed.
.....
Oops.
My aunt visiting for a week. My dad picked her up at the airport and is on his way.
It's too bad, though, that it's raining so hard.
She lives in Florida and was just in San Diego, so a thunderstorm might be a bit of a shock.
Welcome to Washington, Lisa!!!
Uh-oh...how did this happen?

You Should Follow Islam

You believe that there is one true God and that it's your duty to submit to his will. Life may be trying, unfair, or painful here on earth. But you're waiting for the Paradise in the afterlife. Religion is the most important thing in your life, and you are fully devoted to God. You are willing to fast, pray often, and follow all of God's rules to make sure you have a place in heaven.

What Religion Should You Be?

Yeah, it's a monotheistic religion that believes in God and God alone, but that's where the similarities between Islam and Christianity end.
Well, not really, but I don't believe agree with Islamic beliefs.
Ah, and I was one question away from getting Christianity as my answer.
Don't judge me!!! (Ha, taking a leaf out of Pastor Ty's semi-ridiculous and confusing sermon)
Rather shocking news today. A girl from my former church got pregnant...on purpose.
I did NOT see this coming.
Not only was this completely random and out of the blue, but it sort of evoked feelings like, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON PURPOSE??? 'JUNO' WAS JUST A MOVIE!!!"
Seriously, WHY does watching "Juno" make someone want a baby??
She didn't even KEEP the baby!!
Yeah, yeah, Pastor Ty, don't judge.
Um, I read that passage in the Bible yesterday, and it TOTALLY cleared things up.
1 Corinthians 5:12-13
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked man from among you.
Still, he did make a good point about not condemning anyone, because that is setting yourself up as God, but if it is someone who is KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY sinning, you need to have a talk with them.
That sounded totally psycho-Christian, I know, but pregnancy??

Even more cuteness!

Snatching is so much fun. But Sarah got paranoid and was running from me all day.
All I had for lunch was cookies. Tyler had some magically delicious cookies from a pouch, and a cookie that looked like vomit but tasted good, and Sarah gave me an Oreo, and then I ate some Chips Ahoy.
Phew, both English finals were SO easy. Band, Health, and French didn't have a final, and I got a B on the science final, so the only thing I have to worry about is the math final on Friday the 13th. How clever, Mr. Kovacs.
EWWWWWWW we had to watch "Life's Greatest Miracle" today in Health, and we didn't get to the part where the baby comes out, but we had to watch sex from the inside!! You know what I'm talking about, right? Not only that, but we had to look at guys in Speedos, various animals mating, and this guy make out with some random girl on a beach WHERE HE TAKES OFF HER DRESS!!! WHOA!!! WHY ARE WE BEING ALLOWED TO WATCH THIS???
And then we had to take a good look at HIS sexual organ, and then the baby's stump. Not quite a penis or anything else, just a stump.
Connor, Sarah, and I were practically barfing. And we had to watch all this RIGHT AFTER LUNCH. I almost literally tossed my cookies.

FM Static's lyrics cure clinical depression.

We're still learning about mental disorders and depression in health, and it's...well, depressing. We had to learn about Ryan (who looked a lot like Egg from Madison Finn), who was extroverted and friendly but took two bottles of sleeping pills and died. They said he had problems at home but never said what they were, and when the interviewed the parents, they seemed to go around that topic.
Later, we discussed gay rats in science. We asked Mr. Henrichsen if he thought people were born gay or early experiences made them gay. Mr. Henrichsen mentioned a test where they cut off testosterone for baby boy rats and those rats presented themselves sexually to other males. That sort of supports both cases, if you think about it, but I'm confused. How do the babies get the testosterone? What causes the testosterone to stop in real life, creating "gay" people?
Ooooh, I remember when John Kerry said that thing about Dick Cheney's daughter.
This article is a bit redundant. And not at all helpful.
Writing WASL today!! Got to skip 3 periods!! But I missed a math test, which isn't good.
All right, fine, it's PARTLY a choice.
Hm, I like this girl.
Chuck E. Cheese on the 27th!!! w00t!

Yeah, I'm pretty much famous.

Aaaaaaaargh Tim and Tyler got suspended! Now what am I supposed to do in math/science? Actually, I can live without Tyler in math, but science is very boring without Tim. And why is it that Tim got a longer suspension than Tyler??? So confused. I'm calling the Justice League. Although I like Marvel comics better. I would so rather have Spiderman save me than Superman. Or Wonder Woman. I like Batman, too, even though he's DC. Or Daredevil, lol. Or the Flash; he has a cool costume.
I guess Superman is too good for us little people.
Superman: Save you? Pah! I'd rather be off fathering illegitimate children with my longtime love.
Lauren: ....didn't she marry James Marsden?
Superman: Crap.
But enough about him.
I had four tests in one day. It was pretty crazy, but I think I did best on "The Raven" in Pre-AP. Maybe math. I wasn't so hot in French today, and science was all right.
Mr. Campbell is leaving after tomorrow. :( I'm bringing him some soup and a delicious batch of sugar cookies.
Yay, I get to play in the jazz band for all three lunches.
Omg, "If We Were A Movie" is my favorite song, you have NO idea. I really want that CD, no lie.
The elementary tour was good. It was pajama day and all the little kiddies were wearing pajamas and rain boots and looking adorable. Kevin's little brother had a lot of questions. AAARGH, Mr. Faxon made us skip "Jumping at the Woodside", therefore skipping my SOLO!!! XP I worked hard on it, too.
"I'm Like A Lawyer..." is a cool song, too. I might even like it more than "The Take Over, The Breaks Over".
Ben is my hero.
BAM, I got A's on all my "Pride and Prejudice" letters.

We act like we're on speed!!!

Despite getting like 5ish hours of sleep last night, I am feeling rather perky and talkative, rather like Kirsten Dunst. I don't know WHY, though, because during the stupid ASB meeting I was like practically passing out and I almost fell asleep on the crossword puzzle. I think it's my dad's fault. He only knocked on my door at 4:51 AM!!!!! Whaaaaa? My alarm goes off at 5:30, Dad. Kind of cheesed me off a little, because I couldn't go back to sleep, and when I finally did, it was time for jazz band.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! Yeah, I didn't go see Mrs. Sims to schedule a conference, so she put me down for TUESDAY MORNING AT 6:45 AM!!!! WHO IS EVEN AWAKE AT THAT HOUR? BESIDES MR. FAXON??? Oh, and I guess...ME??
Ew, that water tasted SO NASTY.
Lol, we have a bunch of 8th graders playing with us to get all the parts covered. Oh, the agony and the French horns. Micah kept being all, "Bla bla bla, so and so is SOOOOO good at French horn," and he really sucked. Micah and Kevin are all right, though. Lol, one of the trumpets sneezed really loud during "Greensleeves" and the whole back row started laughing.
Jason Weaver is so amazing. And Simba-y.
Second period was pretty carazy. Screaming, crying, talk of cradle-snatchers, child molestors, and Edgar Allen Poe. Oh yes.
Lol, the new American Girl doll is a hippie. She looks just like one they had a couple years ago, that weird surfer girl Kailey or whatever? Except this girl is a hippie in the 60's and her books are probably going to be about protests and pot and John Lennon.
"Watership Down" is really good, but they've already unleashed a conspiracy and a dystopian society and now one of their former aquaintances has been mortally wounded and I WANT TO KNOW HOW!!!!!
Aaaah, bad, I got a 31/70 on my science test. The entire class failed. Okay, how did Drake and Jesse both get a higher score than me for the second time in a row?? Thankfully, Mr. Campbell is letting us do a retake. *sigh of relief* This probably means I should pay attention.
