Christmas!!!

It's only 2 days away now!
I just finished wrapping all of my presents (which I bought shortly before that. haha. Could I have procrastinated a little more?).

I spent $157.57 at Wal-Mart today, on 9 gifts, 3 of which double as birthday presents, too.
So, I'm counting them twice which makes my average spent per gift $13.15. Not too shabby.

However, that isn't counting the money I have to give my brother to make up my half of our mom's present... I think that's like $40, which gives me a grand Christmas total of almost $200.

OMG!! That's like 27 hours of work. Everybody better appreciate this big time.

I already told my mom that if anybody wasn't EXTREMELY excited when they opened their present, that I would take it back, because I didn't buy 1 thing that I wouldn't mind having myself.

Anyway, this is the first year I've ever bought ALL of my presents by myself (I wrapped them all myself too).

haha, I'm so grown up.

I would say that this is shaping up to be a great Christmas break, but I was grounded on Friday after school. I didn't even get to the official start of the break. :(
It's all Jeffkidd's fault. Oh well.

I'm bored with this now, and I'm pretty sure nobody even reads my blog anymore.

But if you do: HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

yay for me!

I made 100 on my transcedentalism paper for Mrs. Batchelor.

That makes me feel awesome... I've never made 100 on a batch paper before (though, let's face it, I've been close. haha)

Anyway, I'm glad that THIS is the paper that I did really well on: it was very personal. Really. Joe, I don't know if you even read my blog enymore, but if you do, I really didn't want you to read my paper, I wasn't just being weird.

This paper makes me want to cry every time I read it.

I wonder if Batch cried. I doubt, it but that would be absolutely phenomenal.

Ha. I love making people cry.
:)

That's all for now. You can hold your applause. I know that I'm amazing.

Motivation

I really really want to be one of those people who is motivated by letdowns.
Like if I make a bad grade on a paper, that it would make me try that much harder to prove that I CAN do it.

Unfortuantely, i am not wired that way.
As cocky as it sounds, there are just some things that I am not used to failing at, and when I do perform badly, i never EVER want to revisit that particular task. I want to give up, just turn my back on it, and focus on somehting that I CAN do.

So, some things that I'm bad at and that I gave up on:
- gymnastics
- college admissions essays
- Jacob's little hackysack rhythm game thing that he tried to teach me in BDA
- throwing a frisbee (although i eventually had an epiphany to try it with my left hand)
- running a long distance (or a short distance. haha.)
- probably a million other things that I can't think of right now.

So what does motivate me??
Competition, I know for sure.
Anything that I've tried really hard at, I can trace back to competiton.
I hate being second best, especially considering that i have been indoctrinated from a very young age that "Second place is just the first loser".
Seing that now, I am eerily reminded of the popular Ricky Bobby idea that "if ya ain't first, you're last" which is even identified as a twisted belief in the movie.

But what else?

What am I willing to work for?

I don't know.

I DO know that Christmas break can't come soon enough.
(honestly, that stems from my 'giving up' thing too; I'm not rocking school as much as i usually do so I want to stop... at least for a while)

GAHH!! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO LIGHT A FIRE UNDER ME??

I wish I knew. It would make everything so much easier.
:/

So it looks like I'm never going to slow down

First of all, OMG! I can't believe how long it has been since I've written on here.

Anyway, as of yesterday, it looks like I will never ever get a chance to relax again.

Why is that?

Batchelor's class.
It's not like she's asking too much (REALLY! not sarcastic). however, it seems to me that she has forgotten that we have 7 other classes to do work for. And most of us have jobs, and we participate in various clubs and other actividades extracuriculares around the school.

Honestly, if all I had to devote my time to was her assignments, it would be a cake walk.

And I KNOW that it's obviously not supposed to easy. It's an Honors course for a reason.
I can handle hard assignments. Where I struggle is when we have OVERLAPPING (!!!) hard assignments. we have two essays revisions, a mini research project-type thing, and new book to read, and these have all been assigned within the last, like, 4 class periods.

She always says that she gives us assignments in advance so that we don't have to do anything at the last minute. FYI: 4 days is not that far in advance, AND I have to do things at the last minute because it is my ONLY spare minute.

I have assignments due for other classes, I work all weekend and somewhere in there, I have to try to have a social life.

I'm still a teenager! I don't want to spend all of my time locked away behind a computer screen typing power verbs and practicing for the SAT.
But I have been ASSURED that these are the steps that must be taken to have a successful life. so, I will soldier on.

Begrudgingly. :/

Things have changed for me...

and that's ok! (Panic! At the Disco)

Anyway, I haven't been on here for soo long.
And I'm neglecting my faithful readers! (Ya know. Nobody)

So yeah, I looked back at some of my old posts, and everything is sooo different!
Looking back, a lot of my latest posts have been really kind of sad. I complained about not being able to be happy, and about being totally stressed, and all this other crap.

I'm here to say that that is definitely not the case anymore.

I'm definitely happy. For sure.

But that brings me to hwat I actually wanted to write about.
I have a friend (and I'm really not going to use names here) who has cut herself. She also has told me that being sad makes her feel alive.
That idea is just completely mind-bending to me.
Why would you not feel alive if you're happy?
Why would you not feel alive if you're angry?
How can you ever feel dead??
Obviously, you are alive. The sensation (wrong word, but close enough) of that should never ever change?
Should it?

Is feeling 'alive' relative?

I can't even wrap my head around this. Like how you would feel un-alive (?).

I guess I probably shouldn't be writing about it considering that I have NO IDEA what I'm talking about.

Oh well.

I'll just let this marinate for a while.

Peace!

Today supremely stunk

I love when people tell me that they love it when I'm not around.

That's definitely what I needed today.

Oh, and when I got home, I got on Delias to order the adorable trench coat that I've wanted for a couple weeks now, and it was on clearance for 35 dollars when it was originally 74 something and I was soo excited... and.
they don't have it in my size.

I seriously want to cry.

Friday, August 21, 2009

I have a lot to say

So let's get started.

So, this year... how to describe it?

So far... I have been overwhelmed and frustrated almost to the verge of tears.
I am exhausted everyday, but I feel like I'm not getting anything done.
And my patience has been shortened a lot. I find myself making more and more sarcastic/rude comments to or about people. i don't want to be seen as a bitch, but I have no patience for stupid people, and like right now: I know I shouldn't say that, and saying that I don't have patience for stupid people doesnt exactly refelct how I really feel, but I'm too tired to think of a better way to phrase that. Oh well. (PS, I really want to say that everyone can suck it. SEE? I know thats wrong. Why do I keep saying things like that? I don't want people to associate me with meanness. Being labeled like that makes me wanna cry.
I also dont want to be known as the smart girl. There is so much more to a person than that.
Like, Lisa did this thing on her facebook that is a picture, with a bunch of different things on it like "The person I always have fun with" "The sweetest person I know" "The person I can't live without" blahblahblah and you tag your friends on which one they apply to. I don't know if that makes sense or not.
Anyway, guess what I got.
Did you guess?
I got "The smartest person I know"
That really makes me want to cry. Like, am I not appreciated for anything else? Am I just the smart girl?


Also, my social life is suffering from being so tired from school and practice. Tonight's Friday night, but I don't want to go out. I want to relax for once.

HEY!! Super announcement.
This is what I've decided.
Sophomores are waayyy worse than freshmen.
Freshmen are still kinda scared and they know their place... if that makes sense.
Sophomores think that since they've been in high school for 1 year, that they have license to be jackasses.
YOU DON'T!!
SOPHOMORES ARE STILL UNDERCLASSMEN!!!

I have more to say, and I really dont want this to be all about how I'm always tired, but I guess thats enough for now.

There's more.... but it can wait.

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

I'm having trouble...

...expressing myself.

Like, I can't say whatever I want to say, which is partly why I havent written any new blogs any a while.

I just can't get my thoughts into words.

I'm thinking that if this persists, I'm gonna go Shakespeare on the world's ass and start making up words that apply to the events in my life.

Saturday, July 4, 2009

Is it Too Much To Ask

that ones of my best friends might actually want to spend time with me???!!!

(The following blog is kind of... explicit and has lots of inappropriate language. Joe, I would advise you not to read any farther... Actually, I'd feel better if nobody read any farther, because I'm really just ranting. REALLY ranting... you can read it if you want to.)
Further note: since writing this, I have calmed down A LOT and I went through and editted the parts of this that really embarrassed me, but I didn't want to just delete the whole blog, because I want to be able to look back on this one day after this is FAARRRR behind us.
Anyway, it is more appropriate now... but you can use your imagination.

Apparently, it is.

Ugh. I HATE feeling like I'm putting so much into a friendship and not seeing much of a return on it.

When the hell did a freaking girl who he's only known a few months become more important than the plans we have had since before they EVEN STARTED DATING??
I guess when she bought him and iPod and a cell phone and a ton of clothes and started *edit* him.
That must be the problem. I only provide, you know, fun and friendship and loyalty and all that other useless *edit*.
Maybe if I *edit edit edit* he would actually want to hang out with me once this summer.
That's not even the point.
He says he has plans FOR THE WHOLE WEEK OF HIS BIRTHDAY when he KNEW that we were supposed to hang out. I couldn't care LESS if he wants to spend his birthday with his girlfriend, but WHAT THE HELL? He can't save ONE DAY to spend with me?



I was going to bake that asshole a birthday cake.

Ok, I feel a little better after that rant.
Sorry.

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

In the middle of Summer!

I literally have nothing to write about... but I'm bored, so I'm gonna anyway.
This has potential to be the DUMBEST post EVER!!... except for the one that Joe made me write about him.

I got to lay out in the sun today... and yesterday.
Not that it's really doing anything, but it lets me kill a couple hours.

I'm sooooooooooo booooooooorrrrrrrreeeeeeeedddddddddddddd.
I miss Emma and Sara Beth and Geoff.
Emma and Sara Beth are both at camp and (duh) Geoff's in Europe.
He is going to Berlin tomorrow.

OK, I found something better to do.

See ay later, suckas!

LA face with an Oakland Booty

We brought Geoffrey to the airport today.

My dad is a nervous wreck. He's so worried that Geoff and Leland are going to get into trouble... like being mugged or scammed, or sommething that has to do with them not being able to come home if they have to... not like he thinks they are going to CAUSE trouble.

So my mom, Daphne, and I dropped them off at the security checkpoint. My mom's eyes welled up, but that was it.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I guess that's because it was really abrupt. we went them to check their bags and then walked all of 100 feet with them to security, then we left. I guess I was expecting more time with them... and now I'm just waiting for it to hit me that I'm not going to see them until July 12th and I want to keep myself buusy so that I don't have to think about it so much.. at least until I get used to it.

So tomorrow: First thing, CLEAN MY BATHROOM. from top to bottom. I'm gonna play some music really loudly and lock myself in there (with the window open so the cleaning fumes don't kill me) and clean the whole thing. And I don't have to worry about Geoff making a mess in there for a whole month. ahhhh bliss.

Then! I'm going to take a shower. Probably in my parents' bathroom because I'm not going to want to mess my up.

Then! I'm going to check my Facebook and see if Joe replied to my message and if not, I'm going to call him to see if he can go to the movies with us tomorrow.
I'm going to see The Hangover with Kayla and Ashley and I think Caleb. Even though I've already seen it, but it was SO FUNNY!
Last time I saw it, it was supposed to be me, Kayla, Ashley, and Jeffkidd, but Ashley and Kayla both flaked out at the last minute leaving me alone with Jeffkidd. I think they did it on purpose.

Anyway! After the movie, I don't know what I'm going to do...

Maybe I'll read more of the Scarlet Letter. I've only read up to page 60 so far. :/
And not because I'm not putting time into it, but it takes me a while to get through it because the language is weird and I keep getting distracted and then I have to go back and re-read what I already read.

Anyway, this is turning out to be a pretty good summer.
:)

PS. If you are wondering about the title, Kayla says that I'm growing a butt. YAY! I've always been totally flat-assed. HAHAHA!
Peace.

Reflections on the end of my life as I know it

Graduation.

A time when one chapter in a young person's life ends, and another begins blablablah.



In two days my brother will graduate.

In 22 days he is leaving for EUROPE with Leland.

In a few months, he is going to MOVE OUT!!



That means that he won't be sleeping in the room next door to me anymore. He won't be around to watch stand-up comedy with me anymore. He won't help take some of my parent's heat off me. He won't randomly swing dance with me anymore. He won't reenact the Medieval Times fight scene from The Cable Guy with me in the kitchen with spatulas anymore.



I seriously can't imagine a school year without him.

I know he's only going to be in Dahlonega so he'll probably be back every weekend... but my world is falling apart right now, so I'm thinking people should stop discrediting my complaints. (In other words: SHUT UP AND LET ME WHINE!!!)



I mean, he's MY BROTHER!!! I read an article somewhere about how siblings play probably the largest role in somebody's life because parents will eventually pass away and your siblings are the people that you can pretty much be super-close with for your entire life.

I've never been away from him for longer than, like, a little over a week.

the real problem is that this isn't just going to be for a while. I can stand the month in Europe, because I know he'll be back.



But after he starts college, he's going to be GONE FOREVER. (Yes, I KNOW he'll be back on weekends and for holidays, that's not what I'm talking about.) He isn't going to LIVE with us. It's like he's not part of our family anymore. He's moving out.

Ok, so I'm not doing a very good job describing the ending of my life. Oh well, I don't care. This isn't about you, is it?

:(

PS. The first thing I'm going to do when he leaves (on June 11th for Europe) is clean our bathroom from top to bottom.

Segun mi padre...

"There is no way you can go through life without knowing how to throw a frisbee."

That might just be the cutest thing ever.

PS. Did you notice you amazing Spanish skills?
I AM A MASTER OF LANGUAGES!!! *maniacal laughter*

heehee.
Really hyper.
Today was a good day.

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

the trouble with nice guys...

...is that you can't tell if they are just being nice, or if they are being nice to you for a reason.

I can't wait for summer, so that I can forget all of this frustrating high school crap.

Why can't anything be easy?
Why can't it just be like "we like each other let's date"?
There's always all of this other shit.
I'm so sick of it.

I wonder how you know it's time to quit.

Uggghhhh.

Pilates class

I just attended one for the first time. (taught by Kathleen, Emma's mom)
It was really hard; she's my hero now.

It was fun though, because I went with Emma, Stephanie, and Carley, and we kept laughing at each other.

Stephanie fell off of her giant bouncy ball like 5 times, and emma made the funniest faces when doing whole body crunch things.

Anyway, I went to the pliates class bacsue Stephanie and I (and some others who have expressed interest) are going to get HOTT this summer.
We're gonna come back to school and everybody will say "Wow! They got HOTT this summer."
That's how HOTT we're gonna be.
yup.

Oh! I got my haircut today. To me, there's a huge difference. It's, like, 2 inches shorter, maybe. Everybody else is all "It looks the same."
But it's not. (Just so you know)

Oh! new phone too.
I wasn't even expecting it. My parents were just like "Here you go". It's a Matrix (I think) That's what Becca told me because Jeff has the same one.
I miss my pictures and ringtones, and the camera is screwed up on this on I'll have to take it back, but that's cool for now.
That's why I have my awesome digital camera that is the shit (Remember? I got it for Christmas, but some of you, like stalkers maybe, already knew that. *ahem* Tucker, you're a freak)

LOOOVVVEEEE YOOOUUUU!!!

Holy Crap Spring Break already

You might remember an earlier post about how I couldn't wait for spring break.
That's still true, but now it's only, like 9 days away or something like that, so.... yeaaahhh.

I'm not ready at all. I need a new swimsuit, and some warm weather clothes (my mom and I are going shopping soon, I hope), and I need to lose, maybe 5 lbs at the least (I'm going to run on the treadmill after ANTM, but I have to watch it now, becuase SB is gonna wanna talk about it.

I need to fake a tan. I think I have some fake tan stuff from last year. I know that sounds ridiculous, but if any of you have seen my legs after a long, frightful winter hiding under jeans, you would understand.

They are FREAKISHLY white.
Ghost legs.

yup.
LOTS TO DO

ha. I'd like to see Joe copy this one too
heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee.

Oh, and I really need to get my hair cut too...
not to mention all of my school work, too.
AGGH

-Ska music

-Breakfast for dinner

-Getting mail

-Watching movies with Geoff

-Marching season

-Pretty pictures of me (I know, really self-centered)

-Ending with a perfect drawer at work

-AND SO MUCH MORE

Pet Peeves/ just stuff that bothers me

These are things that REALLY bother me.
Not really in any particular order.
(Do pet peeves have to be something that OTHER people do that bothers you, or can it just be an occurance? If its the first one, then these aren't actually pet peeves.)

-When someone tells me to calm down/chill/ relax or any other form of that.

-When the bottom of my pant legs get wet from walking around on wet ground and then its all cold and sticks to your legs and won't dry forEVER!

-That Vonage commercial with the phone, and they're adding up the amount you pay for your phone bill ON THE PHONE!! I'm like "That's not a fucking calculator!"

-When people copy me/my ideas

-When people don't listen to me

-When people HEAR me, but still don't listen to me

-OVERLY sarcastic people

-People who SAY they are random. If you have to tell people that you are random, then you're not random.

-'Luxury' car commercials

-Not being taken seriously when I'm actually being serious

-Being taken seriously when I joking

-When people talk about my hair. It's a soft spot people! I just got comfortable with my frizz and poof like, this year. I L-O-V-E it, so shut the hell up about it already.

-Girls who complain aobut their weight just to get attention/to seem humble even though they KNOW that there body is rockin.

-Boys that know that they are hot. They always have huge egos and are usually assholes.

-When my food on my plate touches.

-When people look at my toes/feet

Ummm...
I'll add on to this I guess if I think of anything else.
I don't really know what the point of this is, but I hope you like it.
If you think of anything else, let me know!
:D

Anticipation and Expectation

I can't wait until SPRING BREAK!!

Lasst year I went to Florida with Geoff, Leland, and my mom, and that was super-fun because we went to the Islands of Adventure (which is where that picture was taken, I don't know, its somewhere over there ----->).

This year, I'm going to Hilton Head with Emma.
Which will be awesome, because we are going to spend all day at the beach (and stare in amazement at my legs that CONTINUE to shun sunlight), and we'll eat seafood, and I'm going to meet Kathleen (Emma's friend from camp who lives on the island... not Emma's mom, who I already know... VERY WELL if you know what I'm saying... hahahaha!!! I love mom jokes, evn if they make me sound like a lesbian), and we'll make fools fo ourselves when we try to dance to songs we don't know the dance to.
Umm... last year we had on MTV, and Thriller came on, so we jumped up and attempted the dance, and then someone (I honestly don't remember which of us it was) got the bright idea to go out on the balcony to do it. So we run to the balcony, and do like, one head twitch, and the claws in the air-type thingy and then ran out of moves, and looked at each other and ran back in, hoping nobody noticed what we did.
haha!

And we'll ride bikes, and we'll walk to the store for frozen lemonade and mini ice cream, and well play mini golf, and we'll go to the movies, and shop, and stuff!

And it WILL ROCK!!

The only problem is that Spring Break isn't until April 6th. It is going ot kill me to look forward to something that far away.

So, I'm going to look forward to tomorrow, instead.
Tomorrow, I have to work, but that's ok because I like my job. But then, after work, I'm gonna come home, get in the shower, fix my makeup, do my hair, then I'm going to Emma's to help her get ready to PARTY!!!
Yeah, Birthday Party tomorrow!!

And after that, I'm going to look forward to Monday. Monday after school, is the meeting for DRUM MAJOR TRYOUTS!
When I first thought about trying out for drum major, I was just kidding, but after I thought about it, I thought it would be REALLY fun!

I think I'd be a good drum major. I definitely have a pretty authoritative personality, but I don't think I'll be OVERBEARING (i.e. I'll know when to turn my 'drum major' off and have fun with my friends)

I probably won't get it, because I don't think Mr. Rittenhouse takes me seriously, and Eric has been helping Katie A LOT and she's trying out too, soooo....

Anyway, yeah, this post is kind of all over the place, but whatever.

Friday, March 6, 2009

Worst week of my life?

No.

But, definetly the worst week I've had in a while.

Apparently,
  • I am an awful writer, and I'm incapable at getting better.
  • I am destined to live alone, because the only guy who has liked me since 5th grade likes his girlfriend better. (that sounds weird, I know, but you don't knowthe whole situation, do you?)
  • I miss my last semester classes
  • I feel bitchy, and just want to be mean
  • Everything annoys me. EVERYTHING!!... well more like everyONE.
  • I am super-stressed.
  • I am exhausted, but I have to work tomorrow, and after that, I've got my first official Beta Club event.
  • Worst of all: NOBODY IS TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!!!

>:-(

(haha, this is my 69th post. haha! 69!! Billy Madison reference: LOVE IT! ps. that's an allusion within an allusion!! wrap your mind around that, suckaaaaaaaas)

Thursday, March 5, 2009

1,2,3,4, I really need to slam a door!!

5,6,7,8, days like this I really hate!!!

I don't want to talk about it.


My head hurts.

:(

Sunday, March 1, 2009

I miss the sun

Today was sooooo crappy.

Gray and sad.
I hate days like this.

I can't wait till spring, when I can feel the sun on my face, and I have to wear sunglasses, and I can feel a breeze without it chilling me to the bone.

I MISS THE SUN!!
But maybe, whenever it decides to return, it would like to eat lunch with me, the moon, and the ocean.
heehee. I'm so funny.
ha.

Saturday, February 28, 2009

OMG, I'm so lazy

I have to write 1 perfect paragraph for English about how men in Greek epics lost happiness when they try to escape fate, and I haven't worked on it AT ALL today.

I also have to do a section in Physical Science, which isn't nearly as big of a deal, but I haven't done it either...

I literally just watched TV pretty much all day.
I walked my dogs, started my laundry, drove to grandma's for a few minutes to pick up a movie that Geoff and I never ended up watching, and that's just about it.

It was nice, because it's been a while since I just spent the day vegged out on the couch, so it was relaxing, but I have to work tomorrow, so I guess I'll just write my paper after that....

Oh, and I was supposed to go to the movies tonight with Kayla, but she never called me.
Oh well, that's cool anyway.

So... while today was relaxing, it has caused more stress for tomorrow, but I guess it all evens out, right?

hhaha.

Friday, February 27, 2009

State!!

I don't get to go tonight.
I'm going to a play with Emily instead, so that's cool anyway.

Omg, this is random, but nothing sucks worse than getting on myspace, aor looking at your phone or something, and you have no new messages.

Doesn't anybody love me?

I feel like such a myspace loser, but I am waiting on replies from, like, 3 people right now, and on a reply from Joe on facebook, and NOBODY HAS REPLIED!
grr......

I need something to do until it's toime to go to the playu, and I was going to catch up on my correspondence.... but I guess there's no catching up to be done.

Oh! I did get a friend request from some random guy I don't know.
He doesn't have a name. D-LOC is what it says on his profile. His picture is him with a bandana covering his face, and his profile is all aobut Crips.... like the gang.

Creepy, much!?!?!

I don't have any friends.
haha.

Ok, Umm, this is the weirdest post ever posted.

I guess I'm going to go figure out what to do with my hair before the play tonight... which is Into The Woods by the way. It's at Young Harris, and Ashley Murray is the lead. I'm pretty sure its about Red Riding Hood...

This willbe fun.

:D
BYE!!!

Thursday, February 19, 2009

Ew

I don't feel good today.

But last night at work was soo much fun!
I've honestly never had that much fun at Zaxby's before.

I was soooo hyper. I would randomly start laughing at nothing at all. One time it got so bad that I almost fell down, and I had to lean up against a door. And, I wanted to run around and sing and dance like an idiot.
I told my boss "It's days like today that make me wish I could tap dance".

Ohh... and I've gotten strangely obsessed with Whose Wedding Is It Anyway on the Style Network. I don't know why, I usually just critisize the taste of these women. I've never really been one of those girls who planned out her entire wedding since she was 8, but watching this show has made me think more about it.
I don't know what this has to do with anything... but yeah.

Oh, does anybody know if you can actually take your dog into Petsmart with you? I always see it on the commercials, but I've never seen anybody with their pet with them in there before, not that I've been to a Petsmart very often, but still. Wouldn't dogs get in fights and stuff? What happens if your dog gets hurt in Petsmart? Are they responsible, or do you have to sign, like, a waiver to bring in your dog?

I Have the Best Friends Ever

On Saturday, (aka, Valentine's Day; aka, a day that most single people are all depressing and sad) me and a bunch of my other friends who are single (7 of us in fact...) went to see He's Just Not That Into You. It was the best cliche movie to see, and it was super-awesome/ the shit!



Ok, first we ate at Enrico's. Not the REAL Enrico's, but the one in Funworld, and then we we saw the movie, and then we went BACK to Funworld and ate ice cream, and walked around.



Oh, I guess I should tell you who was there. It was :

-Me

-Sara Beth

-Emma

-Kayla

-Wendy

-Ashley

-and Kasey



OMG!! Anybody who knows Kayla KNOWS that she is KA-RAZYYY (!!) and Emma actually ENCOURAGED Kayla to drink a Rockstar Energy Drink "Because you are one". Bad idea, Emma.



So then Kayla was super hyper (and I have a video of her being hyper on my camera), and we were sitting at a table eating our ice cream, and she's like, "You guys wanna walk? We should go walk? I wanna walk. I'm so hyper..." so I'm like "Yeah, in a minute we can go out to the go-kart track and then you can CHASE THEM!!" And her eyes just lit up.

I was like "Ummm, I was kidding."



So after we finished our ice cream, we DID walk around, but we did NOT chase the go-karts.

And Mark Steely, Connor, Casey, Casey's girlfriend, and Jonathan and Jonathan's girlfriend were there, and they were like standing an akward distance away from us while we were eating.

the distance was between "I know you and want to talk to you" and "we are just random people who are standing here in a group". I didn't know whether or not to acknowledge them. At one point Steely walked over, and was like "What are you guys doing?" and that was actually more awkward, because nobody actually likes him.

ha.



OMG!! I've decided to have a continuation of THE ZAXBY'S CHRONICLES.





Sunday Morning:
I'm working from 11 till 4.
There is always a rush after church.
It was especially bad yesterday.
It seems like everything went wrong at once.
I needed to wipe down tables,
There was a looonngg line, so I had to take orders
The teas expired, so I had to make new ones.
The cooks ran out of trays, so I had to wipe those down
Somebody spilled enough of their cole slaw on the floor
To feed a small Ethiopian child
For 3 months.
So I had to sweep.
Orders are sitting in the window waiting to be eaten,
So I had to get food out to customers

There was just sooo much going on, and it was hard to keep up. After everything slows down, I'm about to take my break, and the Becca calls.
She is supposed to work from 5-9, and can't come in.

I said I'd work for her too, which was ok, because I need more hours (more hours = mo money), but I had to work basically from 11-9, except my break between shifts.

OMG I WAS SOO TIRED.

but I also pushed my paycheck up above $100, which is great, because I haven't had a paycheck over $57 since I can't even remember when.

AWESOME!

SOOO. I have to work on Wednesday from 5-9, because Victoria wanted someone to cover for her.

MMMM... I love smelling like fried chicken.

That's all.

New Zealand?

I think maybe I should go. haha. Not really. But I did just have a crazy dream about it.

Ok, so my dream didn't actually start in New Zealand. I don't really know where we were. Emma and I were on vacation. I think we were supposed to be in Hilton Head, but that was definitely NOT her condo. We were in this GORGEOUS beach house, that I think I once saw on an episode of House Hunters International, and it was built around a tree.

Ok, so the tree ALSO had a lab in the basement, because I think Emma was, like, a scientist, but I don't know, because I wasn't allowed in the basement... I mean lab.
So Emma was working in the lab, and I was hanging out reading a magazine, and watching TV, and this really cute guy came in. His name was Ethan, and he was from Aruba. It turns out that his parents and Emma's parents were friends, and he had known Emma since they were kids. I was like, "Oh, well Emma is in the lab if you want to talk to her."

So Ethan went in the basement to talk to Emma, and I don't know if I ever asked her, but I knew that Emma didn't like him, but she wouldn't let me talk to him, either, and I was really jealous.

Anyway, Ethan invited us to spend the summer with his family in New Zealand, which is really weird, because he was from Aruba.
So we spent the whole summer with his really big family, and it was awesome. His grandfather was an aborigine, kind of.... He had a bunch of younger brothers and sisters, and they were so much fun, and a lot of my dream consisted of me chasing a toddler around their front yard so that I could give him a bath. (????)

Ok, so near the end of my dream, Emma and I had to come home, and we were at the airport, and I was super depressed because I missed everyone, but then we turned around, and Ethan and his entire family moved to America. Yay! Then I woke up.

So... I Googled dream interpretations (I don't really believe this stuff, but I was curious), and there was one website with a dream dictionary and this is what I got:

+Travel- To dream that you are traveling, represents the path toward your life goals. It also parallels your daily routine and the way you progress. If your travels come to an end, then it symbolizes successful completion of your goals.

+Children- To see children in your dream, signify an aspect of yourself and your childlike qualities. You may be retreating back to a childlike state where you are longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurtured. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Alternatively, the dream may be highlighting you innocence, purity, simplicity, and carefree attitude

+Aborigine- To see an Aborigine in your dream, represents both your untamed, natural self and your innocent side. You need to be more in touch with your natural intuition and forces. It also suggests that you are being overindulgent or overly emotional. You may be harming yourself and jeopardizing your well-being due to your unrestraint.

+Jealousy- To dream that you are jealous of another person, signifies that such feelings may be carried over from your waking life This dream may reveal you unconscious feelings of jealousy toward that particular person. Alternatively, it represents your vulnerability and your fear of intimacy. You need to work on self-love and acknowledging your self-worth.

Foood for thought... yum.

hahaha.

Wow. Nothing is happening...

So... we've just settled into the routine of the new semester.
BTW: Am I the only one who notices how after being in a new semester or school year for a few days, everyone relaxes, and the whole school just seems to settle with a contented sigh?

Anyway, that point just passed, and I think too much in my life has settled. Not into a rut... per se, but I go to school, where I do pretty much the same thing everyday: I have the same classes, that for the most part are the same thing everyday, and I talk to the same people, about the same things, and I drive home, grab something to eat, and then I watch some TV while I do my homework. Then I pretty much get on the computer and Myspace and waste time until it's time to go to bed.

I need some excitement!!


Oh, and I wonder if Myspace is going to be in the dictionary soon, like as a verb.

I hope so... that would be neato.

Hahaha.

I'm boreddddddd

My parents went out on a date-thing. I don't know, it's weird.

And Geoff is out with STEPHANIE. Equally as weird.

So I am home alone. I would have gone over to Emma's, but she has a basketball game tonight.

Heavy sigh, heavy sigh.

Well, Sara Beth's birthday party is tomorrow, so that will be fun. I just have to ignore the cloud of un-finished English homework hanging over my head.

Especially because we have an extra day to do it (Thanks MLK!)


Iiiiiiiiiiii'mmmmm laaaaammmmmeeeee.

New Semester!

Ok, so as anybody who has read my last blog knows, I was super excited for the new semester.

I was totally right. This semester is gonna rock!

1st block: Espanol with Sra. Pestana (Wallace?) no. Pestana. She seems really nice, and the class doesn't look like it will be very hard. Casey Phillips is my unofficial, but still pretty official partner in that class. Whenever we have to team up to speak Spanish, she's my partner. Oh, and we all have to pick Spanish names and there is no Spanish form of Heather (unless I wanted to make my name Heatherita, which I don't think counts.), I picked Guadalupe. Because it's fun to say. But only if you over-accent the Lu part. Like GuadaLOOpe!

2nd block: Physical Science with Mrs. Colwell. I'm going to start calling this class PhySci, just to see if it will catch on. I don't think it will. Anyway, we have 3 workbooks in her class. There is an EOCT prep workbook, a Science Notebook that goes along with our textbook, and one other workbook that we have to keep in our binders. I had to buy a 3-inch binder for this class. She seems like she is going to be extremely METICULOUS about how things will be done. She gave us a 4-page-long syllabus. wow. I have Hannah and Ashley Swanson, and Kacie, and JeffKidd in this class, so it should be pretty fun, I guess.

3rd block: Honors English!!! I was looking forward to this class more than any other. I love English, and this class never seems long enough. Whenever we get into a really interesting discussion, the bell rings. I kind of wish we didn't have lunch during this block, because it, like, interrupts whatever we are doing/talking about. I think I kind of had a rocky start, but everything is going to be fine. I need to get stuff together for my Create-a-Text assignment. I already have somewhat of an idea of what I want to do, but I need MORE! I wish I could just decide what I want as my background, and start building from there. I want to incorporate as many of the senses as I can, but I don't know HOW. I have a few pictures that I really want to include, and a couple ideas of STUFF, and when I went shopping with Stephanie, we got some stuff in the scrapbooking section of WalMart to use. I really think I will like this class. There is a great sense of community. Everyone in there is kind of in the same groups (except Vincent, I fell bad for him, but I guess he has Jacob from soccer at least), and its a small class. Everybody in there gets along, and is pretty much friends.

4th block: Band. Easy. Exactly what I was expecting. Band is just band. Execpt now we are in the same class as percussion, which makes everything that much more interesting. The drumline is sooo friggin cool! I love them.

Umm I guess that's it.
Those are all my classes, and this semester is going to be waay more challenging than the last. I NEVER did homework last semester. I mean, not ONCE. I'm going to have homework EVERY night now.

Plus, I can now GO places. I have my license, and a car, and my daddy isn't being as super-strict as he was before. He let me drive to Walmart with Stephanie, and to the basketball game last night, even though he doesn't like me driving in the dark or the rain. I'm glad he's finally loosening his iron death-grip on me. I'm not going to do anything stupid, and I've never given him a reason not to trust me. I don't drink or do drugs, and I'm waiting till marriage to have sex, so he doesn't have to worry about ME doing anything dumb. If he is worried about somebody ELSE doing something dumb (i.e. rape me. like that's going to happen), he should just buy me some Pepper Spray. Which I told him to do.

So, yup. Things are looking up.

So the Rain Keeps Falling

And falling
and falling
and falling
and falling
and falling.

It has been raining for practically 2 months straight.

I miss the sun. All this rain makes everything gray and bleak ad dreary and grim.
This weather just kind of sucks all the life out of me, like a dementor (whoa! Harry Potter allusion. Bet you didn't see that coming!! haha).

But seriously, I don't want to DO anything like this. This weather is why I'm sitting around blogging all the time. I don't want to go out and be a sad gray part of the sad gray world out there right now.

WHEN WILL IT BE SPRING!!??

I love Spring. It is my second favorite season. Everything comes back to life and is warm and sunshine-y and bright.

Ugh. It's only January 6th. The first day of spring is not until March 20th.
(I just looked it up. heehee.)

Even though I HATE being cold, I would at least like to see SOME winter weather.

If I have to endure 3 months of winter, I'd at least like to get a little snow out of it.

Anyway, Im going to stop complaining now.
New semester starts veryvery soon!

I can't wait! It's time for some new stimulation.

I want school to start... NOW!!

I can't wait for the new semester.
I like my clases now (except Drivers Ed, but I don't really count that as a class), but I am ready for a change.

Plus, I miss all of my friends.
1 day after Christmas, my parents friends from Florida came up to visit, bringing their 15 year old daughter, and her boyfriend.
I've known them since I was born, and Mandy (their daughter) and I get along ok, but she's got nothing on my friends.
My friends just bring the best out of me. I'm always more fun and outgoing when I'm with my friends.

I think I'm having, like, withdrawls or something, because I keep flying off the handle at people for no reason, and I'm really cranky, and I'm throwing up (hee, not really).

Mandy and her boyfriend just fight all the time. They just had their 8-month anniversary, and if their entire relationship was like this, I can't believe they are still together.
He is funny and stuff, but he is really rude.
I wouldn't stay with a guy who treated me like he treats her.

I just want them to shut up.

They have been here for a week, and they both smoke, and I'm sick of them fighting with each other and all their secondhand smoke.

They are leaving tomorrow, and I can't freaking wait.
They were entertaining for like 2 days, but they need to leave.

I know that makes me sound rude, but all they do is fight with each other. They are no fun.
They just piss me off.
