Oh, and by the way, this is what we do in our spare time in Newspaper:



I had a mini-DIML but it was fairly uneventful.
Status update on life: things are good.

I got bored so I made a collage. Not v. interesting, so my feelings won't be hurt if you scroll.

Paranormal Activity.

I'm not quite sure what I just saw, and I'm not quite sure I liked it, but I think I did? I yell at the screen too much. After all the hype, it's really not very scary. Maybe a little at the end. ( Cut for spoilers )

I slept in until 3! GDI there goes my day.

Apparently Ally and her mom are going to see Paranormal Activity so I'm crashing that party but that means I have to shower and eat in 30 minutes RUN LIKE THE WIND BULLSEYE

More interesting post including what I thought of Paranormal Activity (since you know, my opinion matters) when I get back!

My head, throat, and ears all hurt terribly. But of course, Doctor says, "There's nothing wrong; just eat some chicken noodle soup and you'll be okay!"

I'm starting to wonder if I'm not a hypochondriac because that seems to be the answer I always get from them. I'm not entirely sure I'll be going to school tomorrow, but only because the pain forced me to tears this afternoon and I do not care to have a repeat in front of people.

Ibuprofen is doing absolutely nothing.

I'm being nagged again for "staying up late" (it's not even 11 yet), so this entry shall be short. Hope everyone is doing well.

I've been making a lot of God jokes lately and I'm not sure why.

I'm going by Starbucks to get a caffeine fix, and then I am re-doing all of the math homework for this section to try and boost my homework check grades.

Also, we got interims today. Maybe the reason I've been making God jokes is because there must be a God, because somehow I must not have failed the English quiz. You know, the one where she pulled out passages from Episodes 3-5 and we had to explain the significance? When I'd only read the prologue-Episode 2? And I had no idea what actually happened beyond Episode 1? Yeah, that quiz.

If nothing else, I am very proud of my ability to bullshit right now.

I give up. My right leg has obviously been taken over by the devil.

You can still see the scar from where I scraped it straight down the shin, and my ankle hasn't healed right since the sprain, AND I have an old bruise right next to the newly-forming one that I am now icing in a futile attempt to stop the colorification of my leg once more.

So I'll get the hack saw and the tarp. Any volunteers who want to play Amputation? It's a lot like Operation, but much easier to win.

People need to stop writing songs about California and Jenny.

I think I found out why my ankle isn't getting better.

Okay, don't laugh.

( I'm pretty oblivious. )

Invariably, as soon as I brush my teeth, floss, and put my retainer in, I become ZOMGSTARVINGLYHUNGRY. This is what I get for being anal about flossing, right?

So I really want to drop my math and bio courses about now. I'll shut up about this after interims, but whatever. They make me want to set fire to small animals. And as much I love fire, not on small animals D: but I spoke to my guidance counselor and of course she does not advise it. Fucking hell, I just want an objective opinion. I KNOW I'm capable of applying myself and getting good grades in there IF I WANT TO, but I DO NOT WANT TO. Biology is soooo dry this year. Math, well, I've just had so many bad experiences with that teacher that I am having a difficult time imagining that this could be fun. Not to mention the added pressure of The Math Project, plus the Paper 1 and Paper 2 exams for both classes (yeah, it's IB lingo. idgi either). I don't have to take it. My class rank is seriously up there. I already have an above average gpa for the college I'm aiming for, and I've got a little above the average SAT score even without retaking the math portion. I'm one of the only seniors taking a full schedule. I don't need these classes. I will be okay without these classes.

I would very much like to enjoy one year in high school please.

So I survived the first week school. I keep flip-flopping between dropping Bio and math or sticking it out. I do know one thing for sure; if Craft doesn't make my Newspaper grade weighted then I am going to punch her in the ovaries and drop that shit like it's hot.

SHE PROMISED ME A WEIGHTED CREDIT IF I WOULD JOIN TO BE COPY EDITOR
PROOOOMISED :(

I will feel no remorse, either.

And that is my story.

Ally and I are going to the zoo today. Because we can. I just called the volunteer office and told them I wouldn't be coming in, and when Regina asked if I was okay, I played up the stress cold because my nose does sound stuffy. I doubt she believes me.

My MRI consult is on Monday. My ankle has been being a bitch lately. If they don't have a proposed solution to this problem then I will be amputating my own foot.

It's been pretty chilly here recently, which is very abnormal for VA so early in the year. I like it.

Also, I went to bed at 8something pm last night and woke up at 10:40am this morning. I win.

I FUCKING LOVE SHAQUILLE O'NEAL.

THAT IS ALL.

Hello, tell me you know
Yeah, you figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now

And baby thats a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
Cause you and I
Why, we go carrying on for hours, on and
We get along much better
Than you and your boyfriend

Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still cant say it after all we've been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

Well how long, can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you,
Before I rightly explode?
This double life I lead isn't healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all
Baby there's a lot that I miss
In case I'm wrong

Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

If I should be so bold
I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said I would
I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again

All I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
I think it might kill me

And all I really want from you is to feel me
It's a feeling inside that keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
It might kill me

I keep seeing a snow-covered forest in my mind and I don't know why.

J.K. Rowling is sitting somewhere completely flabbergasted at the world she has created for us.

Dude. I wanna play.

The Greatest Survey Ever, as snagged by twystedfate


1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
I'd be nineteen. Still pretty youthful, but a bit more mature. Also, painfully underage for fun things.

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?
Never trying. I live in a constant world of what could have been. At least if you fail, then you know what happens. I'd rather have an unsatisfactory ending to a novel than have the last chapter of the novel ripped out.

3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
I don't know. Maybe it's because we think what we're doing will help someone else, even if it sucks for us. Even though people can be selfish, I do believe that they can also be selfless to a martyresque point.

4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Unfortunately, I believe so. It's easy to dream because in dreaming there is no fear.

5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
I have to agree with Patricia on this one. No more discrimination, no more hatred. I still can't believe our system is so messed up that we can't have gay marriage everywhere.

He is such a sweetheart. I'm pretty sure if left to my own devices, I would have a whole pack of dogs.
