I love it when teachers don't talk to each other.

Since everyone in my Eglish class failed the chapter test, and because of that all of us have low-ish grades, Ms. BP gave us an extra credit project worth 25 points. The assignment: Pick an immigrant group, and write a two-page thesis paper about them. Focus on their struggles, the jobs they got, or anything else relevent.

Sounds like a lot of work, right?

Nope. Not for anyone is Ms. NP's class. It just so happens we had to do a project identical to that one two weeks ago.

*changes the date and period number, prints out a fresh copy of the report, and puts it in her backpack* Yay! Extra Credit's done!

Off to go take a soak in the new hot tub, which we've had for two weeks but I haven't been in yet.

Am really not in the mood to talk about Harvey. It didn't suck, just am slightly disappointed at the lack of the color orange in the room. *sighs forlornly*

On a much, much, MUCH higher note, one of the fics I wrote got Niffled! For those of you not familiar with FictionAlley terminology, when a fic of your gets 'Niffled' it is put on a list of highly recommended fics, and is (in my opinion) the fourth-highest honor you can get at FictionAlley.

For those of you who care, third is posting enough posts to be able to have a customized avatar, second is getting a positive review from someone like Cassie Claire, Heidi, Aja, or SlowFox, and first is being added to the Master List of Most Recommended Fics... They don't have a sub-category for Songfics yet, but if they do add one, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. *squees* I got Niffled!

Halloween was...

...boring?

...cold?

...disappointing?

...all of the above?

I woke up at around 4:30/5 to the oh so wunderbar sound of rain on my skylight (I would have been ecstatic had it been any other day) and groaned, because I knew I would be freezing my ass off the entire day.

I was right.

Even though I'm pretty sure that everyone who reads this knows me in real life and thus knows my costume, I'm bored and don't want to do my History homework, so I'll describe it in great detail.

I went as Columbia from Rocky Horror Picture Show. I had tap shoes, turquoise socks, black shorts (missing the ribbon) a black tank top (instead of a sparkly black bustier) a sparkly gold tailcoat, bright pink wig, sparkly gold top hat, red bow tie, and whore make-up.

yay for whore make-up.

The party I went to was... quiet. We played video games, watched Nightmare Before Christmas, and played Charades.

yay for making fun of people behind their backs!

Right now I'm insanely tired and easily amused (piraaaaaaaaamide....*laughs hysterically*) And I get to do homework under these conditions! Yay!

I just had one of the most frightening experiences of my life. I had to help my mom get ready for a Halloween party. And guess what her costume was!

She was going as a goth.

Yes....slightly scary.

You never know how much you love your mom for being the way she is until you see her in all black, with black lipstick and a blood-red wig, with spiked cuffs around her wrists and a dog chain around her neck.

*squeebles* Today was a good day.

Okay, so school's out. I'm walking with a couple of my friends, and see the guy I'm obsessed with (in a healthy, non-stalker-like way). He's starring in our movie for VP, and I had to give him a message about filming. So, I shouted his name, and yelled the message. He nodded, and even though he was with his friends, he abandoned them to talk to me about the slackers in my group. Swoon!

But there's more....

Hector was giving me a ride home, and we saw him walking. Hector asked him if he wanted a ride, and he said yes, so he got in behind me. Double swoon!

But there's more...

We were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, not moving anywhere, so I decided that I would probably get home faster just walking, so I got out to walk, and he went with me! *squeebles* We walked and talked for awhile, then he jumped into a car his brother was in. But we pretty much walked home together! Triple swoon!

And now for something completely different.

Okay, my US History teacher is really, really stupid. She has no personality, and her idea of thesis statements is royally screwed up. Grading thesis statements, you can get three points. You get a three if you 'explain'. You get a two if you 'describe'. You get a one if you 'state'. Uh. Excuse me! *waves hand around* A thesis staement is just that: a STATEment. So we get a one out of three if we STATE a thesis STATEment? *fumes*

I wasted an entire lunch, standing outside, in the blistering cold. For no avail. I did not even go to get food. I had a Ritz cracker for lunch. One cracker. *cries* So right now crew is myself and one other girl...I'm trying to get Tabitha to do it, and I'll see if I can scrounge up anyone else...

This sucks. I really was looking forward to having a kick-ass crew this year.

Mouse is still alive.

I really don't like Spanish right now. Especially since I have to take it next year, too. I realized that if I hadn't taken Spanish this year, I could have taken three electives, one of which would have been Drama 2 (with the boy I like, love), and I would have had US History with my best friend. *cries at evil colleges who want challenging classes*

Yesterday was...an interesting event.

Woke up at five thirty with a massive stomachache; after dry-vomiting I felt a bit better (betcha all needed to know that!).

Despite bouts of faintness and/or dizziness, went to Great America with several friends (one of which is dead). 'Twas interesting.

Instead of car-pooling, we rented a huge-ass 15-person van, but there was still two cars (one of the chaperones took their own car). It was fun, Billy (the dead one) was in the other car, so everyone in the van had a massive Billy-hating session. Yeah for massive hate-sessions!

Line for Top Gun was well past the little gate thing, yet we amused ourselves by singing 'La Vie Boheme', the 8-minutes song from Rent. About halfway through the line I felt like throwing up, so I was courteous and moved to the side, where I could throw up on the grass instead of on fellow GA patrons. Instead of puking, though, I got horrible, horrible vertigo, (i.e. everything went dark and swirly) so I sat down, and according to my friends, turned insanely pale. More pale then usual, that is.

Still went on Top Gun, and didn't throw up, although I did almost black-out once. :D. No worries, though. Once I got some food in me I felt better.

On a side note, all of my friends but one were concerned about me. Guess which one wasn't. Yup, that's right, the dead one. Another reason he's dead to me.

On another nother side note, Eugene was very touchy-feely with me, Sabe, and Hector...weirdness.

We didn't actually get to the park until 10:30, and didn't actually get inside the park until 11:15 (ticket difficulties) and since the park closed at 6 we didn't have a lot of time to go on rides, although we *did* go on Top Gun (a good ride, as always), Invertigo (first time on it, very fast, very fun), Rip Roaring Rapids (very, very cold), and Drop Zone, which is in my top five of favroite thrill rides.

The full list is as follows: #1: Loch Ness Monster, Busch Gardens Virginia; #2: California Screamin', California Adventure; #3: Stealth, Great America; #4: Drop Zone, Great America; #5: Top Gun, Great America. Close runners up are The Big Bad Wolf, Busch Gardens Virgina; Medusa, Six Flags Marine World; The Madderhorne, Disneyland; The Big Dipper, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk; and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Disneyland.

*nods*

Wow, I just wasted about 30 seconds of your life.

Go me!

On the way back home I broke my vow of deathness to play Twenty Questions with Billy, along with Hector (eheheh) and Tabitha. We were tired, so the things we came up with were quite...random.

Twenty Questions topics: Cyborgs, a no-smoking sign, some random D and D thing, Edward (Hector's imaginary boyfriend), Mr. Snuffles, ice scupltures, Nedriek's bedroom, a sliced zucchini, a yawn, a kumquat, and my personel favorite, nose hair.

Billy will be dead again tomorrow.

Oh, and Abdul? Could you e-mail me the URL for the tagboards? Also, if I were to give you two pictures and some text, could you change them into a moving avatar? Thankies!

Today was a bit better then yesterday.

I didn't forget any grade-altering assignments at home, at least.

Was reading lines of an evil old vampiress (for VP) when I realized that...I'm a pretty decent actress. I had the voice change down, and only screwed up when the hand that was holding the script I was reading began twitching. *is proud, as it was not her hand*

Also, had very little homework tonight, so I cleaned my room and will get started on sewing my Halloween costume (I have the pattern all made, now I'm ready to cut and sew!)

Oh, and am almost certain that the guy I like likes me as well. *bounces*

Today...was not a good day.

Not at all.

Reasons Why My Day Sucked:
- Billy is dead to me. 'Nuff said. I have no idea how long he will be dead to me, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be for a very long time.
- I have a cold. Am pretty sure I got it at Billy's party.
- I burnt my tongue on my peppermint tea this morning.
- Said tea tasted really funky and ended up giving me a stomachache
- Almost got sent to principal's office b/c of the idiot at my lab table in Bio. (Old Weston...)
- Had a super-hard time on the test in math because about five minutes prior I found out what exactly Billy had told Lori (Tabitha did absolutely nothing wrong, for those of you who might care).

And the icing on the cake: I forgot my US History essay at home this morning, and since it's late, the best I can get on it is a 20/30, which is a 66%. PLUS, I can prove that that was Billy's fault: I was so mad at him last night that I wanted to go to bed as soon as possible so that I could stop thinking about that. I was in such a rush that I didn't put it in my backpack. *points an accusatory finger at Billy*

Okay, time to rant about my busy, busy life.

On Friday: Tenia (con accente) una examen de capitulo uno en mi clase de espanol IB (I had a chapter one exam for my IB Spanish class)

On Saturday:
- Had PSATs from 7:30 to 10:30.
- Had filming (for video productions) from 10:30 to 4:30 (at three seperate locations!)
- 4:30 to 5:30 Got ready for Halloween party, which involved shaving (betcha all needed to know that!) and spraying my hair black (the fact that I'm allergic to hairpsray did not help the matter).
- 5:30 Left house to go to party, which had started a half hour earlier, at 5.
- 5:45-12:00 AM At said party, which was very fun, or at least, was at the time.

On Sunday: Had to do lots of oh-so-wonderful homework most of the day. Also had to help parents clean the garage. Also was suppossed to film that evening, but realized that the batteries on the camera were dead. Fuuuun...

On Monday (today): Had school, which was hell, as usual. Had projects/essays/reports due in English, Biology, and Spanish. Did the filming that was suppossed to happen yesterday.

I also have an essay due in US History due tomorrow.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Now that that's out the way, I get to rant about why I am SO FRIGGING MAD I AM HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING FROM SCREAMING.

There is a certain person that I know that has a very weird ritual with secrets. He will not tell you anything about his life unless you promise not to tell ANYONE, not even your dog, and even then you have to pull it out of him and he is very cryptic.

However, he has no qualms telling anyone he meets *your* secrets, even not one of the most gossipy people in the entire friggin' school! *is enraged* And then when you confront him, he completely avoids the question:

Me: What did you tell Lori?
Billy: hmmm?
Me: Lori was telling me that she heard "interesting stuff" about me, regarding your party, from you and Tabitha
Me: What did you tell her?
Billy: i didnt actually tell her anything
Me: Then what did Tabitha tell her?
Billy: i dont think we really told her anything, at least nothing concreat
Me: And what is that suppossed to mean?
Billy: well, we didnt tell her any specifics, at least i dont think we did
Me: STOP AVOIDING THE F---ING QUESTION
Billy: well, i dont think we did
Billy: im not avoiding it
Me: Yes, you are
Billy: im not trying to
Me: Well you are
Billy: sorry, but i dont rmember exactly what we said, or was said, but i dont think we really think we said anyhting too concreat
Me: Well I'll just have to ask Lori tomorrow

Yes, names have been changed. I'm not sure why, since the only person who reads this blog who would know the original people already knows all about it. What can I say? I like fake names.

And as you can probaly tell, Billy will be dead to me for quite some time.

Am reminded of the second scene of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which a man tries to get rid of an old bloke who is "not dead yet." Spitzi is still alive, but not looking any better. I cleaned her cage and threw out all her toilet-roll bedding in hopes that she will be too distracted chewing up *new* bedding to scratch/chew herself. My brilliant plan does not seem to be working,

On another note, I took a PhD certified IQ test. According to that, my IQ is 129, which means I'm "gifted, borderline genius".

On another-nother note, I do not want to do anything today but work on my novel and watch TV, but seeing as I have a stack of homework to do, along with cleaning my room and such, it looks like I will not have any time to do so. *sighs*

I have a feeling Spitzi is going to die tonight. It's really strange, I don't really care that much about her, yet I still think it's really sad that she's the way she is (neurotic). She keeps scratching/chewing on herself, and now she's covered with open sores/bald spots. Whenever she's not doing that, she's either drinking water (which she actually never did that much), or walking around her cage, twitching. I'm almost hoping that she *does* die tonight, because I don't know if either of us can handle another day of her behaivor.

Today sucked. Sort of. One part of it sucked, and that brought the rest of the day down.

I am so stupid. I recently wrote a story that implied that I had a boyfriend/had my eye on this certain guy. (Which, for the record, I don't.) Other then not being all that accurate, it was really well written. So, being the fool I am, I showed the story to the guy I've had a HUGE crush on for like, a year. I was purely thinking about the writing of the story, not the content. But then, when he was halfway through it, I realized my stupidity.

So yes, I'm not quite sure how to tell him that I like him instead of the guy in the story without telling him that I like him.

2003-10-07T18:04:00.000-07:00

Okay, erm...nothing really new to mention, except that I'm finally getting started on my story/novel...

In Video Productions, I was all jazzed up because the video I was editing had a KILLER ending. It was totally dramatic and artistic and stuff... It shows a guy waking up, reaching under his pillow, pulling out a pistol, sticking it in his mouth, and pulling the trigger. Right as the trigger is pulled, you hear a shotgun fire and the screen goes black. Everyone always jumps the first time they see it. Total awesomeness. So, when the rest of my group said that they were going to tweak the video a little bit, I said, "Fine, but don't change the ending, 'cause I really like it." They said okay, and I felt I could trust them.

So we were doing a showing of the final pieces yesterday, and it was our turn, and I was totally excited. The ending came, and...

They totally screwed up the ending. Totally, utterly screwed it over. There was no dramatic-ness. When the guy pulls the trigger, instead of a gunshot, you hear the first beat of the ending credit music. And it's HAPPY music, for shit's sake! He pulls the trigger, and music starts playing. GAAAAAAAAAAAH!

But since I don't have any friends in the class I sorta have to stay in this group. At least for the next movie I'm writing the screenplay, and it's pretty hard to screw up someone else's screenplay. Unless, of course, they edit out three or four scenes.

Wouldn't put it past them.

On my Harry Potter day-by-day calender I've come across an oddly hot picture of Dan Radcliffe, aka Harry. It's weird, cause I don't like him that much anymore. Right now it's all about Tom (aka Draco....don't EVER call him Malfoy)

But yes, I should be doing homework but I need to finish reading this magazine first *waves around girly magazine* so I'll be leaving,

Well, the thesis essay went over better then I thought it would. The teacher said I had a great thesis, so that's a good sign.

*smiles widely, for a reason she will disclose tomorrow*

Why, oh why must I procrastinate? I kick myself every single time, yet end up getting fine grades. *sniffles*

I hate thesis essays.

Wow, it's been forever since I last posted *doubts anybody cares, because she doubts anybody reads this*

Oh, the things I do for drama. Tomorrow I'm wearing a bright blue wig and a sparkly gold top hat. The next day I'm wearing a sandwich board. The next day I'm wearing a formal dress. The next day I'm wearing a toga. Oh yeah. That's sexy.

It's all for Thespian Society, a traditional, non-violent hazing of sorts. *nods* Fuuuuun-ness.

Okay, quick update. I was on the tennis team for three days but then quit, so am instead going to audition for the school play, "Harvey". It's a neat play about a man who sees a six-foot-tall white rabbit. (Unfortunately, it's nothing like Donnie Darko).

Oh, and my bio teacher is psycho.

*twitch* In less then 36 hours I'll be back in school. 35, to be exact. Where did the summer go? *cries* *plays with her Harry and Draco dolls in an innapropriate manner*

I've had waaaaay too many Jolly Rancher Fruit Chews. And pineapple candies. And caffeinated breathmints. (Penguins!)

Got me new CD burner! And it works! *dance* Lots of coolness. It burns a 45-minute CD in 13 and a half minutes. Is that good? I think that's good...But yes, I've made two already, and am looking forward to making lots more.

Also, I'll be playing tennis this year para mi escuela. Fuuuuun. *twirls finger*

33 more days!

The events of yesterday:
1) Got CD Burner.
2) Danced.
3) Returned CD Burner after father kindly pointed out that it was an internal drive, and eMachines were not made to have extra stuff shoved into them.
4) Stopped dancing.
5) Kicked computer (figuratively, of course).

So I'm taking Daddio down to Circuit City tomorrow to help pick out an appropriate unit. Also will be down at the County Fair Grounds, working on 4-H booth. 'Tis a Cnderella theme, and 'tis kicking ass. Has a most awesome design *does the 'Im an awesome designer' dance*, and yes. Very mucho cool.

*scarfs Lips candy, little pineapple-flavored hard candies, dusted in powdered sugar and stuffed into a cute little tin that she's now become addicted to*

Okay, my schedule is pretty okay...I unfortunately got the 0 period (which starts at 7:30 AM) so I'm going to be seeing if I can change it to seventh period, my free class. Also, since I don't have my driver's liscense yet (*hangs head in shame*) there will probably be a problem with me having to walk home every single day (it's a 1/2 hour walk, three/fourths of it up-hill) so that would be a good reason to transfer. It's not 'cause I'm lazy! Honest!

But then again, I might no be able to get a ride *to* school if I start at 8:20, which means that I'd have to keep the 0 period *and* get a 7th period...Hopefully if that happens I'll be able to get a no-homework class (like TA or something like that).

Will continue work on Dead-Cow-Scrapbook (TM) after I post.

Did the voice-over thing...It was actually quite easy, and pretty fun. I could defenitely do this for a living. Especially because for an hour of work, got 100 bucks. In addition to the 200 I got for originally doing it. *can't beleive it*

The student-teacher for VP was there (it was at his house, actually), and he told me that I got in. *dances* For once, the high school *doesn't* screw up my scedule. Now I just hope that I don't get a 0 period, and all will be well.

Off to go pick up my schedule. I'll post again once I get it.

In late June, I was in an industrial for Apple Computer...unfortunately I got a call a couple days ago that they couldn't understand me and so this Tuesday I'm going to be doing a voice-over session. Not sure whether to be excited of scared out of my wits...Prolly a bit of both.

I can't wait until a year from now, because then I'll be a senior and not have to worry about upperclassmen. Not that I worry about them, per se, it's just that I tend to get nervous around them for no reason. *nods* Kind of annoying.

Started continuing work on HP Why trivia. *wonders why* It's hell, but worth a bunch of points (like, between 5 and 8 thousand) and yes...*nods, and continues to count Harrys*

Me y me madre ran errands today, and I realized that I don't care if other people think it's lame; I LOVE MY MOM! *nods earnestly*

Went to Hot Topic and got two awesome shirts (a black lace-up wife-beater, v. cool, and a PotC one, mucho v. cool) along with punk-ass Hello Kitty school supplies. Also stopped by PetsMart and got toys and nibbles for my mouse.

Spitzi, by the way, has the oddest sleeping habits I've ever seen in a rodent. She'll be awake at 11:00 in the morning, but sound asleep at 11:00 at night. Which is fine by me, cause then she can stay in my room at night, but still. She's suppossed to be nocturnal.

41 days. *smiles broadly*

Up to four Readings....*twiddles thumbs impatiently*

Received and sent back the second chapter of Jeepers Creepers 3 (I'm Patrick's beta) *nods* There's the link, go read it.

Oh, and the best news of the year:

On October 2nd, 2003, at 8:00 AM, I will be braces-free. I have had these braces, or some form of, since February 2nd, 1995. That is: almost 9 years. 93 months. 400 weeks. 2,797 days. 75,519 hours. 4,531,140 minutes. 271,868,400 seconds. (Wow, that's a lot of time...) But yes. I will be DONE with braces in six weeks. *dances*

You know what I hate? Stupid people who sing songs from cult-classics when they haven't seen the movie. Because they start singing 'The Time Warp' (out of order, I might add), and then when you say something as simple as "Starts with an 'S'". and they have no clue what you're talking about.

Samantha: its astounding...time is fleeting....madness takes it's toll...but listen closely....not for very much longer....i got to keep control
Me: Starts with an 'S'...
Samantha: What does?

*dances* I've already got two requests to do Readings! *does the 'I <3 Arithmancy' dance* Granted, they aren't total strangers, which is what I was hoping would happen, but oh well, I don't care. It's still something.

On another note, I'm taking a tote bag that I got from FA and back-stitching all the ship names that I sail on it, in corresponding colors. So far I've got 'Mirror', 'Irish Leather', 'Best Mate', Lonely Heart (het)', 'Flying Books', 'Slither and Soar', Kicks and Giggles', Prince and Pauper', 'Guns and Handcuffs', Loonies and Lions', 'WolfStar', and 'Triple Threat'. And yes, I do realize that out of those 12 ships, a whole 2 of them are het. *waves slasher flag*

*groans* Giants had it in the bag. Bottom of the ninth, they were ahead 2 to nothing. Then Wilkerson, of the friggin' EXPOS (a most pitiful team, IMO) grand-slammed to center field, winning them the damn ball game. *cries* We (the Giants) haven't been doing very well. We've lost our last four games (not counting the ones that were cancelled cause the Mets didn't have power). But, since we're so awesome, we're still 9 and a half games ahead of the Diamondbacks, and the Dodgers are 10.5 back *does the 'dodgers are losers' dance*

The mouse has settled in. I couldn't decide whether to call her Spike or Fritzi, so I compromised and am calling her Spitzi. She doesn't really look anything like a Spitz, but oh well. I think that the moping thing is normal. I hope she realises that the hamster is a little bastard who bites anyone who tries to pet him.

My cat (Dusty II) is sitting on my bed sulking. He doesn't like it when I have rodents in my room because I yell at him when he tries to eat them.

On another note, I'm reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It's about the meat-packing industry in early-1900s Chicago. I swear, if pigs and cows didn't taste so good, this book would make me a vegetarian. And I will forever be wary of sausage. The book goes into great detail, including listing the ingredients in old-time sausage: spoilt pork, potato flour, borax, and live rats. Yummy yummy.

Whee. A blog. All for me. All mine. Mine. Not yours, mine! *brandishes rubber triceratops in a menacing manner*...*coughs* yeesss, as you can prolly tell I'm extremely tired and should prolly go to bed, seeing as it's almost midnight and I'm sick. But oh well, I'll be stupid and stay up late pretty-fying my *new* blog.

My sister gave me her mouse, so I've been spending the past couple of hours trying to think up a name for her. It's between Spike and Fritzi.

Fritzi is, of course, from the movie Camp, a great movie about drama camp. And let me just say this: I ship Vlad/Spitzer. There. Now there will be a dated record of me saying that, so when twenty million other slashers pop onto the internet, I can claim to be the first official Vlad/Spitzer shipper. I think I'll call it S.S I'm Confused. *grins* yes, a goodly name. And I get to be Captain! *dances the captain dance*

And the mouse is now looking peaky again. She's been doing this off and on the last few hours, sitting on a perch and just staring off into space. It's really weird, because she's suppossed to be active at night. Ah well. Maybe she's pining for my sister's hamster.
