Hello everybodyyyyyyyy.
It's been while mmmm?
Guess I'll start with school then, since I REALLY have nothing better to do with my time than tell you about my life.

French
French class is...interesting.
When it's not stressful.
My Russian French teacher yells at me a lot because I don't do so awesomely in her class (I have a C or a B at the moment, not terrible but annoying) and I don't know why I don't. Maybe it's too early in the morning or something.
My fellow students are amusing.
The other day, Mrs. Nabs had to leave for a the French Honour Society induction thing and Sean (annoying fat creepy child) was all "Noooo" and went up and hugged her. Then John tried to hug her and she was all "Lolno."
Today, we took the listening part of the final.
It wasn't too bad...there were several sentences of complete gibberish that I couldn't understand, but I think I did alright.

Band
Our band is full of delinquents.
But they've been pretty good recently, probably because we haven't been playing.
We're doing finals stuff, which is either nerve-wracking or boring.
Did my rhythm test yesterday- I kept screwing up because I was nervous.
Today other people did their rhythms tests and then some people did their scales.
I played this one card game of which I do not know the name with Catherine and Melissa. And then we played Egyptian Ratscrew with Dane and this one guy Micheal.
I actually didn't die for once- Dane and I ended up being the last two players but he beat me.
It was really fun though- there were several epic moments.

Math
Math is bleh.
We've just finished all the stuff we needed to learn- ending with basic trigonometry. It was REALLY easy. I got a 95% on the test which is the best I've gotten on a math test, since I suck and fail at math.
The air conditioning was all squeaky today but it wasn't doing anything- the room was hot and uncomfortable.

Lunch
Mostly, everybody plays Egyptian Ratscrew.
I don't usually participate- I don't like getting my hand smashed and eugh.
Gini gave me my late birthday present today as well. A beautiful little perfume bottle.
Usually, I talk with Chum because she's the only nearby person who doesn't play most of the time.
She gave me a donut with chocolate icing today. She said because her teeth hurt too much and she needed to give to someone epic.
I was very grateful and flattered.

Bio
I really do like bio.
We're doing rat dissections right now. They're actually not that bad. I'm working with Chum and Alex S.
We named our rat Destiny (a bit hard to explain but lolsome).
We finished skinning her yesterday- she had a fur cape for a bit but now it's just a coat.
We have to identify all the muscles- Chum broke Destiny's arm trying to see the Epitroclearis (hope I spelled that right) and Triceps Brachii.
I was all "SFFHXNXZncxzbcbshjhdsbdvbsvb D:" because it sounded A LOT like what my ankle sounded like when it broke.
We went to Mrs. Reed, who was looking at somebody else's rat and were like "We broke Destiny's arm, is that okay?"
"Yeah, it's fine."
She snapped both of the rat's arms- snap snap.
I think that was the must disgusting part of the dissection so far.

Gym
In November, I broke my ankle on a tennis ball.
And then once it got better, the pregnant woman left to be pregnant and we got a long-term substitute, Mr. Horrigan.
I really don't like him.
He's no better than any of the teenagers- teases the girls about who they are going out with, makes fun of Dean, etc.
He doesn't like Chum and me.
He confuses us a lot.
Like the time we were out on the tennis courts. I was talking with Connor, Chum was lying belly down on the warm asphalt, quietly. He was all "Shut up Chum" (except using her real name) and Chum was like "...?!?!"
Because we look so alike and all. I have such black hair and she is so tall and blue-eyed...
We're doing floor hockey right now.
Lame.
At least it's better than frisbee golf.

Government
We're doing Chesapeake Bay stuff right now.
Mrs. Deese really is my favourite teacher. She made these oatmeal raisin things today and they were SO YUMMY OMG.
We had to do this one assignment where our groups we had supposedly been giving a plot of land with forest, stream and cave to do what we pleased with.
We were supposed to do happy environment stuff- our group did- but instead people planned to sell drugs or build hotels.
Obviously, the authors of the curriculum did not have any idea how teenagers work.

English
English is bleh.
We did the ECR portion of the final today and it was easy. I finished 15 minutes early and sat for a bit and thought.
We read Lord of the Flies and I REALLY LIKED IT.
The part where Piggy died made me cry. I believe that's the first time a book for school has made me cry.
Otherwise, English has been...rather dull.
But okay.

After-school Crap
Been selling Sequels. Only sold 6 because I suck at it.
Caitlyn and I joined Robotics recently.
I like it a lot.
Antonio, Sam, Catherine and Matt V. are in it and yaaay.
Yesterday was the Senior Picnic. It was really awesome.
Just for some reason.
We had meeting today, which was interesting.
Yeah, I'm starting to get lazy but I persist.

England and Scotland
I went to England and Scotland over the summer. It was nice.
Rainy and cold and gray but nice.
I really don't want to tell everybody about it.
I don't know why.
It seems sacred by now, I don't know why.
As if I share the memories with someone but I don't.
Only me.

My Birthday
I think this birthday was my best one yet.
It's been a while but 4 weeks. Eh.
It wasn't necessarily awesome.
I don't remember my birthdays past 7th grade. Which is lame.
7th grade wasn't that great, 8th grade sucked, this year was nice.
On the Friday before, something good happened.
Well...I have debated whether or not to really say what for a bit but I think not, not right now.
Things are still up in the air about this (mmm love life. no, it's a secret. If you don't know already, then you shouldn't) and I don't want to risk doing stupid crap and making him angry again. I'm sorrrrryyyyyyy luv. ):
But I wound up dancing around the house madly.
It was awesome.
Then I went to Chum's house and we watched A Separate Peace.
And on Saturday I went to Caitlyn's after trapeze class.
It was really fun, until we got tired, and then it got a little depressing and she was tired and wanted to sleep but couldn't and I was just "asdnsbnbsehuiq" and then we fell asleep at like 4 in the morning.
We went to my house after and went to the Sheep and Wool Fair, which was okay.
Got some lovely peacock feathers.

Evan's Bar Mitzvah
Also a while ago.
3 weeks to be precise.
Weekends in may have been pretty exciting.
Well, it was awesome.
First was the ceremony for Evan and his brother Jeremy.
Caitlyn, Tyler and Patrick were there, and after the ceremony there was fun dancing.
They gave out all these sunglasses and bouncy wiggly things and random crap.
After the ceremony, I went to Caitlyn's for a bit.
We learned the Soulja Boy dance and it was really amusing.
Then there was the after party at Evan's house.
Another thing I don't want to tell the whole wide world about.
It was just such a good day.
Afterwards I was just "bleh" because I missed it so much.

My birthday party
I was hoping for it to be awesome but everybody got angry at each other and stuff so it was mostly stressful.
Another really good thing happened that day though.
I was happy for two days straight and would've continued longer if stressful things hadn't arisen and made me worried.
After the thing happened I just laid on the grass and Tyler put his foot on my stomach and said he could feel my pulse through his shoe.
Like...imagine winning the lottery.
How you'd feel.
And then take that, multiply it several times, six or seven at least, and imagine two days like that.
The most amazing thing ever.

Kooza
Last Friday, Ian and I went to Philly to see Cirque du Soleil's Kooza.
It was sooooo much fun.
The show was awesome.
See it.
More memories for me to keep a secret.
It was just an awesome day.

Dreams
I think when I was in England, they started to get really weird.
Disturbing sometimes.
Other times it just showed how unhappy I was.
I had one in April I think where I actually died- got hanged in a restaurant and then was resurrected. And then I was on some band field trip and Ian was playing the clarinet for some stupid reason and we stopped at a Rite Aid and everybody wandered off. And the Rite Aid was behind this forest and I was trying to get back to the buses and someone was all "u can't go thru the forest, theres a csi investigashun" so I was like "lolk" and walked around. And there was some evil dog that had the bodies of other dogs all around and was eating them. And while it was distracted I tried to get through but it attacked me but randomly didn't harm me. And then I got past and got around the forest and the buses drove away without me. ):
And then the ones involving someone and they were so unhappy...
But since May came they've gotten better.
Though I did have one frightening one about an axe-murderer. And on Wednesday night, I had one where a shark bit off my legs at the knees and then I had to go an obstacle course, which was a bit difficult.
Last night I dreamed that Mrs. Nabs had a haircut I didn't like.
I had an amusing one in which I had an AWESOME room and then Cirque du Soleil + Pokemon.
And then the one with the white room but let's leave that be for now.

Shut up
I really should. My head hurts.
I did this because my father was all "MAKE THE BATTERY DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE" (helps it recharge better later or something) and I had NOTHING to do.
