Stuff

Journal: I found out that my friend in my math class (Jessica) knows every person in my group except me. I guess she knows me now, but not before this class. The class is very fun, though. We can sit wherever we want and i sit next to her and she's very hyper and we just sit there and giggle the whole time about nonsense. Apparently she gets up at two in the morning everyday to watch inuyasha, but she couldn't think of the name until I said it, and she has no idea what it's about. I guess that's what you get for waking up at two in the morning every day. She was also one of the people who Robert used to stalk. I guess they're all friends or something. Toshi's the one who introduced me to Jessica, and I know Kena knows both of them. Jessica was one of her fellow orcha-dorks (Kena's word, not mine.) in seventh grade.

Thought: Isn't it weird how sometimes the exact same thing can have the total opposite effect on people? Like a rebellious song, let's say. Some people start thinking "this is totally my life" or something and it makes them rebellious and some people here this song it's just kind of "Hmm, interesting song." or maybe they sing along and that's just kind of the way they vent their feelings, then they go back to normal. Adults can say we're really the same, and we did start out that way, but we really aren't anymore.

Review: I started reading Artemis Fowl. I finished the first book. It was so good, but it kind of bugs me that his name is Artemis and he's a guy. Whatever. It was way good. It was kind of the same smart-people-battle-of-wits type thing I loved about death note. I hope the next ones are as good.

School is run by idiots for the 500th time.

I got my class schedule today. or what it would have been if I hadn't gotten into SUCCESS Academy. Thank goodness I did, that's all I'm saying. They got rid of Theatre and Spanish and turned my Honors World Civ class into normal World Civ. They replaced the two credits with Electronic Basic and Automotive Service Basic. okay, so two stupid vocational things, both of which have a class fee? seriously? You'd think they'd be able to figure out from my class choices to at least replace it with academic or art classes. Someone Selected my classes with eenie meanie miney moe, I swear. I also just noticed they turned my honors Biology class into regular biology, and my algebra 2 class into elementary algebra. They bumped my down two grades in math.

Don't you hate it...

when you say something and immediately realize it has a double meaning? and that the other meaning is pretty bad...

Math Class

Journal: I started a math class today. It is fun. it's in preparation for the success academy thing, so all the kids are smart which makes it fun no matter what. There's a ton of homework. took me forever to finish.
I went to the library today. did you know there's a limit to how many books you can request at one time? I believe it's seven, but I wasn't actually counting. I got two books I know are good, one I'm pretty sure is, and two I'm just praying for.

Thought: How come all the smart kids are so hyper? I guess not all but like 90% or something of the straight A students are the crazy people. kinda funny, isn't it, cause when you think smart you think nerdy and boring.

Review: The Year of Secret Assignments. The main characters are 3 teenage girls, Cassy, Emily, and Lydia. They get an assignment to have pen pals in a nearby school. They've been best friends since elementary and their parents are all lawyers. It was very funny, but there were some ever so slightly creepy parts. Not really bad, though.

Girls' Camp!

Journal: Girls' Camp was awesome. We didn't even stay in a tent. beat that, guys. We stayed in an awesome cabin that was bigger than my house. We went rappelling on Saturday. my sister and I made the top 3 worst crashes. I'll have to post pictures of mine when we put them on the compy. Everyone slipped in the exact same place. I ended up upside-down. freaked me out so bad that when i got to the bottom it hurt to open my hands due to my white-knuckle death-grip.
The beehives got attacked by an invisible bat. We were sitting there and we heard screaming. we ran out and the beehives were all screaming about a bat in their room. no one saw it after that, and even the girls still cowering in the corner of the room couldn't say where it was.
I tripped on the hike. the young women's leaders were very escited for a chance to use their first aid stuff and amde me stop so they could apply liquid bandaids. my shoulder still hurts.
Awesome pranks I helped pull: lock all the doors and the snipe hunt. Katie was furious about the snipe hunt. She doesn't like to be fooled.
We watched Chrissa: An American Girl. We got a little to into the movie. It was about a girl who was being bullied and we were shouting at her and insisting we were about to go into the movie and kill Tara. A mob of 30 teenage girls against one fourth grader. right.
We also had a warline of cows against us, and found 10 bones in the river. We named the bones: Don, Neck, Tie, Can, Stan, Bone Buddy, Butt, Kick, Blade, ...and another I can't seem to remember. we told my sister we put them in her sleeping bag and she freaked. She's such a prep. There's probably other stuff, but I can't think of it now.
My cousin's farewell was today. he said he didn't think this many people would be there (3 missionaries at once) then quoted a scripture from king benjamin about how there were so many people they couldn't here and said deacons would be copying down anything worthwhile for people at the back to read. sure no one thought there'd be that many, which is why you had the scripture ready, right?
My sister just threw a tape measure at me because I didn't want her reading over my shoulder. she's just charming, isn't she? now my arm hurts.

Thought: We're probably the only state where being a mother is not only a perfectly acceptable carreer option, but practically a No Duh thing, you know?

Review: Mall Cop. So stinking funny. "We don't have an oath." "I sort of made up my own. it's on a plaque in my room."

I need to post already cuz I'm a slacker

Journal: Well, school's out. that's cool. I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. I set up a website. *smile* it was fun. The thing with not posting is when I get on I have nothing to say. You'd think it would make me have more to say, but it doesn't. I just don't put any details about anything. I need to change that.

Thought: *static buzzing in my brain*

Review: We watched X-men on monday. I thought it was awesome. Storm's line was kind of anti-climactic, though. "do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else." He's got to be thinking: seriously? that's the line I'm gong out on?

This post was way short. Deal.

The man in the lavender suit

Journal: We finished our science end of levels. I have to do my Math and Biology end of levels this week (I have two science classes.) I also have my spanish and computer tech tests, I don't know when they are. I have two and a half weeks left of school. Nyah!
I tried out for the talent show, but I didn't make it. I'm kinda sad, but not really. I think my tryout was the worst I've ever played that song. If that was me panicking because one person was listening, what would I have done in front of my whole school. Also, I practiced to much. If I do something too many times, I can't do it right, don't know why, I'm just weird like that.

Thought: English is such a stupid language! seriously: i before e, except after c or when sounding like as in neighbor or weigh. And on weekends, and holidays, and throughout may, and you'll always be wrong, no matter what you say! It's all the fault of the man in the lavender suit! seriously, though, I think some words are designed purely to make fun of what they describe. lisp? seriously? "I have a really bad lithp." are you trying to torment whoever has it? and isn't attention deficit hyper disorder a bit of a long name for a condition that makes it so you can't focus? and how about abbreviate? why do we use such a long word to mean making words shorter?! About the lavender suit thing: in grade 6 someone asked the teacher why english was so confusing. He said "there's a man in a lvaender suit, who lives in a lime green room who makes up all these stupid rules for english and then breaks them." about half the class bought it, too. We should totally try to spread that just to see how far it gets.

Review: Tennis Shoes series. It is awesome! It's about Some people who find this cave that transports them back to nephite times (for those who don't know what that is, it's from the book of mormon. My religion). Later they find another cave that transports them to biblical times. There's some scripture stuff, but a lot of it is really just action and adventure.
