PX625A

Los examenes fue muy facil. I think I did pretty good at english, I really didn't need to know much about TKMB anyways. Spanish had 140 questions. To quote a friend of mine, "gag me with a spoon." (to be honest, I think the last time she said that religiously was a year and a half ago, but it stuck with me). Biology was a pain in the ass to do at 7:15 in the morning, but it's okay. I wish I knew how aeries worked so I could check my grade, because apparently, they're already up. Algebra only had 34 or so questions. Gosh. Geography was very easy because it was open notebook. Band had no finals. PE, I presented lacrosse to our class. we got 20/25 because we went over our time limit by 52 seconds, but that's only because we really knew our shit. I lost my ipod when I got back from that presentation. I was stupid enough to not lock it in the PE office. I really hope it shows up. My mother will be extremely upset with me, becuse she got it for my birthday and I lost it on my 5th day of ownership. GOSH. (I do believe it was stolen, though.)

In other news, I watched brokeback mountain for the first time this morning. I didn't start from the beginning, because it was on TV, but if I had, I probably would have been more upset in the end than I was. It was a good movie, but people talk so slow in Texas. =[ and you know, for a movie about gay cowboys, there were an awful lot of boobs in it.

Yesterday at winter percussion I ran into two tables, Connors drum, Doug (numerous tims), and this girl Hilary. I felt really stupid, because it was all within the span of two hours. I almost threw up on our run, and I felt extra dumb because I was the last to get back. I feel useless on those runs because I'm so damn slow. I'm getting better at drumming though, and I basically have both songs memorized thus far. I just have to practice the very end of F so I really have it engrained. We got drill yesterday, which is the marching bit. It's pretty cheesy at the beginning, but it's sort of cool ish I suppose. Once we start marching, though, it gets good. there's so many things to remember. I have to be flat at the front during the buzzes, and then gonig back, I have to be...not flat. and start on my left, which always throws me off. Then I can't square off edges and I have to lift my right leg in a count and lunge in the next. And I have to stop running into doug.

After winter percussion, the family came over for a birthday dinner. not much to say about that. It was our family getting together. Some awkwardness, smidgens of drama, and mature or immature jokes. (My stepmom said "that's what she said" and my uncle and I had a giggle fit for at least three minutes.)

I need a battery for my camera, and film.

Lerh.

I have so much to blog about, and no way to say it, I suppose.
Just another unbloggable. that sucks.

I wrote another chapter, making three.
My single fan seems to enjoy it.

I put more music on my ipod, which makes 216 songs, two videos, and a TV episode.
I totally blew my 50 bucks.
50 bucks well spent, I'd say.

I have to get a shot tomorrow and I have my english final first thing.
I'm very concerned, I took nothing away from To Kill A Mockingbird.
People say it's a lifechanging book, but I got nothing out of it.
It was okay, but nothing big.
Kudos to Harper Lee though.
If I had to write about a boring racist town, I'd go insane.
She should be proud she pulled it off.
But my spanish final tomorrow should be superduper easy.

I want to go on a proper date and I don't care with who.

dexter.

So I had a good day, right?
And I was thinking "I'm going to sleep naked tonight" because I do that when I'm in a good mood. That's a lie, I just lied to you. I do that very rarely. and by that I mean sleeping naked. Actually, when I think about it, I lie very rarely too. If I ever told you I sleep naked all the time, it was probably a lie. That would be one of the rare times I lie.
So anyways. I was having a good day and whatnot. but then I remembered we have finals next week. And I have to shave my legs. And study for biology and english. Not fun. Not fun not fun NOT FUN.

In other news, my mom got me an iPod. So now, FINALLY, the biggest part of my life (music) can come around with me everywhere. I swear, it killed me inside when I couldn't have my music. Because good gosh, it's all I do, you know? anyways, I took all the CDs I have here at my moms and uploaded them all and bought some stuff, so I kept busy today. my day was actually really darn busy. It shocked me.

I woke up and my door was wide open. There was a walkie talkie next to my face and my clock was unplugged. the DVD player thing was gone (I was watching Blades Of Glory in the wee hours of the morning). i assume that my brother came in, unplugged the DVD player and accidentally unplugged the clock with it. He then stuck a walkie talking next to my face so it made noises at me to wake me. He then scampered out of the room to go watch The Pink Panther or something. It would not shock me if that's exactly what happened. I checked my phone. It was around 10. I got up and had breakfast. Yawn. Shower. Check e-mail. Then my mother took Jonah and I to the farmers market, leaving Noah to watch cartoons in his underwear. We return bearing pizza hut for noah, veggies, and a baguette for dinner. Noah eats. Mother takes Noah and I to Old Navy for jeans. I emerged with two pairs of jeans, three pairs of boxer briefs, and three pairs of valentine themed boxers. Yum. We come home. Mom makes me babysit Jonah while she gets Noah a haircut. I busy myself buying shit from iTunes. This is basically it.

I'm really digging Chanson Des Chats right now. I wish I had more of a life.

McGuesstimations.

First off, thank you everyone for all the happy birthdays and hugs and chocolates and songs and wishes. It was really great. I thought my birthday would suck but it totally didn't. It was oodles of fun, man. I'm not going to lie and say I don't have time respond to all the birthday comments, because I do. I have LOTS of time. It's patience I'm lacking. So I'm thanking you here. Thank you!

Also, I realized that there are some things that you just can't blog about. And let me tell you, it's devastating to have something running around in my head, kicking me in the brain, and knowing I won't be able to blog about it. If I could, blogging would be the professional boxer in my brain that knocks out the stupid thing running around kicknig me in the brain previously mentioned. Maybe a better analogy would be those mucinex commercials. Annoying thing you can't blog about: Snot guy who throws football parties and complains about gettng kicked out ("Mucinex, you've ruined my beauty sleep!"). Blogging: Mucinex. Do you UNDERSTAND the CONFLICT? I sure do.

In other news, tonight I tried those nine steps to overcome stress that I posted in my last blog. I got through steps one and two easy. I knew I was stressaed. Whoo. I can check that one off my list. Step two, stopping what I'm doing. I wasn't really doing anything anyways. Shizzam. Step three, relaxing and calming down. I took five deep breaths and decided to take a scalding hot shower. However, my shower was only scalding for about five minutes, because my brother was giving his stupid trombone a bath in the other room. I don't understand. Trombones don't even need hot water to shower. So after the water stopped being scalding, it started being freezing. So I had to rush. I may or may not still have my delicious conditioner in my hair. Well, relaxing and calming down obviously didn't work. I tried taking more deep breaths but it was too cold. So I decided to save my destressing for another day. Honestly, I don't even think it can wait. It's waited way too long enough. =[

And Andrew didn't even end up baking me cookies yesterday. My first day of being 15 was SO lame. Recapping in chronological order.
1. Torie says she needs my opinion. I thought was something important so I waited for her. It was about shoes.
2. Mrs. Smiley was in a bad mood. But I guess it was okay because no matter what mood she's in she seems to like me. We found out we're going to Patel next semester. People don't like Patel.
3. Mr. Reichert was...Mr. Reichert. I guess it wasn't so bad. Mai called me a "wor" because that's how she thought "W H O R E" was pronounced. bless her little asian soul. She was only joking about the whore thing, we were playing telephone. I am NOT a whore.
4. I met my new algebra teacher. She seems nice, but she's absolutely nothing in comparison to Mr. Hernandez. It ticks me off that he's leaving us.
5. torie said she needed to talk to me about something very important. She didn't. She just wanted to get away from someone else.
6. Mr. Cruz was being Mr. Cruz. Davy really is officially kicked out of our class. I got points taken away because the girl behind me stuck postits on her face and Kate asked me for help. Charlie got moved across the room. I am devastated.
7. i was supposed to take my biology final today. Since I decided not to, I now have to show up on Thursday morning at 7:15 to take a test on my worst subject. After that, I head straight to Algebra and take a stupid algebra final. My second worst subject. THEN I have to present Lacrosse to my stupid PE class.
8. UN-BLOG-ABLE. See second paragraph. you know, unless you don't want to.
9. Grandma takes us all out to dinner then forces me and Noah to go into safeway and get her cherry tomatoes and milk. I was very nearly raped. That safeway is a tough crowd.
10. see third paragraph about trying to relax but taking a really cold shower instead.
11. I broke down the block of writing. Writers block, haha. I wrote six more paragraphs to my story. It's coming along nicely, I suppose.

So that's basically it.
P.S. I still have cuts from eight days ago.

stress levels.

I attended a stress seminar tonight. mostly against my will, but it actually really helped.

The nine steps of dealing with stress:
1. Acknowledge that you're stressed.
2. Stop what you're doing.
3. Calm down.
4. Think about your goal. "What do I want to happen in this situation?"
5. Ask "can I make that happen?"
6. List options for reaching said goal
7. Analyze options. Choose best one.
8. Take action.
9. Congratulate yourself.

In other news, Andrews baking me verona cookies and getting me a light up necklace for my birthday thursday.
yay!

The only way.

I thought the only way to explain ANYTHING right now was to sample brian again.
but then I realized that required far too much brainpower, and I can hardly spell required right now anyways. In fact, if I tried to make it through this post without hitting backspace, you probably wouldn't be able to understand a word of it. And you know what? being delirious as I am right now, I'm cracking up like mad at how awful I'm spelling everything. It's those laughs where you try to not do it but then you hurt your abs trying to contain it. so you snort and buckle over. or maybe thats just me.

well, all I wanted to say was to please stop making me grin uncontrollably because I'm far to busy and tired and even though it's just me here and you can't see through the computer, I'm sill super embarrassed because I'm smiling so hard. And you remind me of me and I don't remember the last time I did something like this except maybe those winter days over two years ago except the difference is that I ended up with a pretty broken heart after that and I was typing a little better and I wasn't listening to the same music and I'd probably be on the phone too, smiling without a reason, but there really is a reason and it's because I was completely in love, but now I don't think I can really be in love, I just think you're really cool and you made me smile a lot.

P.S. Fuck Punctuation.

Busybusybusy.

So me and torie wrote a song today!
And it's really cool. Really Really cool. Except it was a beezy to get on myspace, no joke. I had to ask a million people how to convert the files 'n shit. And I downloaded iTunes (finally I had an excuse) and it took forever but it's finally on myspace.
I'm totally convinced I have a lisp. Honestly. Everyone tells me I don't but I always hear a darn lisp. And stuffiness. Oh well.

I got my books today. I ordered them on new years. They took forever. =[ But now they're here so I'm happy. Sure they're ugly, but used books are cheaper and i wanted to get a bunch of okay books then like two new ones.

I figured out how to make my week go by faster today. I just look forward to whatever I'm doing that night.
Monday: Winter percussion, Mediums on TV
Tuesday: Hebrew High
Wednesday: Winter percusssion
Thursday: DeFrank movie night
Friday: Whatever I want.
so see? It's perfect!

My back is all glittery from torie spraying my backpack with peppermint glitter spray. AUGH.

Oh yeah, and if you leave an anonymous comment on my blogs, I appreciate it, but do you think you could say "-Insert Name Here" after the comment? I'd like to thank you personally, and it's cool to know who reads my blog. :]

sweet.

my names was the name of the day today on behindthename.com

LEAH f English, Jewish, Biblical
From the Hebrew name לֵאָה (Le'ah) which was probably derived from the Hebrew word לְאָה (le'ah) meaning "weary". Alternatively it might derive from a Chaldean name meaning "mistress" or "ruler" in Assyrian. In the Old Testament she was the first wife of Jacob and the mother of seven of his children.

totally cool.

summer storm

This is mainly for the sake of having a post that says 2008 on it.

Alright, so I spent the night at my friends place last night. I think I forgot how stupid I can be. I was trying to spell enough outloud to her and I said "enougf". Yikes. WEll other than that, it was a fun night, because we had winter percussion practice beforehand and we learned a new excersize that night. I have it down, now, yay!

Today I woke up, had breakfast, did Kikis makeup, and then my dad came to pick me up. We went to lunch and then went home. I played some game with my brother and then started to feel miserably sick, which sucked, because I had been planning to go to the defrank center for over a week, and tonight was the night, and DAMN, I was sick. I almost didn't go, which would have sucked. But I ended up going and I felt better. It was movie night and we saw this movie Summer Storm. It's in German and its about this rowing team who goes to a rowing camp, and they meet this other team made up of all gay peoplem, and this guy tobi realizes he's in love with his best friend from the team, but he has a girlfriend, and tobi has this chick really into him and he does this guy on the gay team lalala. But it's a really freaking good movie, in my opinion. Cinematography-wise, too.

So yeah. Going to the defrank (finally) was cool. Thumbs up. Being sick was not. Thumbs down.

Plus my cat threw up that tinsel stuff from our tree.
