head like a steel trap

today was a pretty decent day, minus the first half. math was just math, same old stuff that we do everyday and french was just one huge headache. aly wasn't in french today, so i was like dead bored :( GET BETTER ALY!!! towards the end of french, they called me down to the office and i went. to my surprise, THEY HAD MY WALLET! no one believed me that it had actually gotten stolen, but now they do. all that was missing was ALL of my change and an empty gift card. whoever stole it is like the lowest person on earth. who steals a wallet, takes all the money, and then gives it back?! if i ever find out who did it, there will be hell to pay. on the brightside, i have my permit so now i don't have to go get a new one! the rest of the day carried out normally, and lunch was like super fun today. marissa and gille's pie came and visited us! when i got home, i had to go sell ads for yearbook, it was a bummer. i got all no's but it's okay, i have my 100 points for the semester which is like a load off of my back. i just want it to be tomorrow already but i have so many things that i need to get done before then. HALLOWEEN :) i'm so excited for halloween this year, i usually never do anything to exciting. taryn, me, and hopefully marissa(get better marissa!!!) are going trick-or-treating in megan's neighborhood. i got my costume yesterday. i'm throwing a bunch of random clothes and accesories together to be a harajuku girl. hopefully, my outfit will turn out okay! oh! and i might be sleeping over at megan's, but i don't know yet. time to get my homework on.
adios amigos!

due to a busy schedule, i've once again neglected blogging for a few days. on thursday, i went to the nc state fair with taryn and my sister, emily. we rode on the ferris wheel, scrambled eggs, flying bobs, and the tilt-o-whirl. it was a great time, minus the creepy carnies with raspy voices. as taryn stated "it sounds like they have all been smoking for *insert large number here* years!" i experienced fair fair, for the first time. i had a fried 3 mustkeers, call me crazy but it was like heaven on a stick. we got home that night at around nine thirty and i showered and hit the sheets as soons as possible. the next day was just a normal day of school, or so i thought. fourth period comes around and i decide to check my phone to see if i had an missed alerts and i did. i was reading the text and then responded when mrs. fletcher, my english teacher, walks by and sticks her hand out signaling me to give me my phone. me, being a goodie two shoes, gave it her immediately. i was shaking anxiously for the rest of class knowing that something bad was going to happen after class. the bell rang so i went up to her desk and asked for it back. she handed it over and said "i'll see you for detention on tuesday during lunch *insert idiotic laugh here*" i walked out of the class room and basically ran to the car where i preceeded to bawl my eyes out. did i mention that i've NEVER had a detention before? because i haven't! i'm still really distraught about it. after i was thrown that curveball, i uploaded fair pictures and then i packed all my things together and prepared to go to the hunt center to meet marissa and megan(but i refer to her as "gille's pie"). samantha was already at the hunt center so we waited around until they arrived. we all went into "the party room" as referred to as marissa and megan. from five thirty to seven, we painted and tattooed little kids faces. my one attempt at painting a face was a failure. my bat was miserable, poor kid that i painted it on! after that experience, megan's father drove us to marissa's house to spend the night. once there, we ate our tacos and then went up to marissa's room and made a manaquarim! the manaquarim is hilarious, he says things such as "hey goddess, i could spend all day looking at you" and "you look like the smartest woman i've ever seen", it's great entertainment actually. marrissa then taught me and megan how to make these cute like string bracletes, my first attempt was totally fail but i taped it to my purse anyways. i made a second one that survived and i am now wearing it, it's purple, green, and pink! after a few hours of making bracelets and listening to music, we went downstairs to make cookies. megan made a special cookie, it had chips and a mixture of random spice in it but marissa's brother ate it on accident without knowing. anyways, while the cookies were cooking, marrisa and her mom got into this huge polictial debate, it had to be one of the most entertaining things i have ever experienced. it was actually very hilarious also! while eating cookies, we watched videos on demand. most of time, correction, all of them were all time low ones. i actually didn't mind one bit, i think they are alright and extremely cute! then we went upstairs, listened to pretty odd, and then fell asleep. this morning, we playing with marissa's dog and watched spongebob squarepants until my mom came and picked me up which leads me to the current time. i really need to start blogging daily because this whole "re-cap" thing is getting super old.

p.s- marissa, are your feet tired?!?!?!
cos you've been running through my head all day.
we love, i mean HATE, you creeper #2!

headfirst slide into cooperstown on a bad bet

i want it to be the weekend.
i have so many plans, for once. it will be epic.

friday: going to the haunted house with marissa and megan, then going back to marissa's house to make bracelets and then sleeping over!
saturday: coming home from marissa's and then going to sam's house and then heading off shopping somewhere from there and possibly go to see HSM with emily and taryn after that.
sunday: work, work, and more work.

i'm excited to say the least.

does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band

things have been great lately, yet not much as happened except the unfortunate event of yesterday afternoon. as i mentioned before, my wallet has been stolen meaning i've lost my permit. yesterday, i had the sudden urge to start driving again because i would like to receive my license before this upcoming summer. while on the way to the DMV, the car starts to jump around as if the we were driving over a bed of nails. we pulled over to discover a flat tire. the only place we could pull over was by a guardrail on the side of highway 55, not very safe at all. we called my dad to come rescue us from the side of the road. he came changed the tire and then finally we got to go home. after all the controversy, i never even arrived at the DMV meaning no permit for me. not to mention that i spent an hour getting my hair looking decent for the picture. it's alright though, i probably would have been a pusillanimous baby and not drive home from the DMV anyways.
today, on the other hand, involved no motor vehicle trouble! i got out of taking my math test due to an absence on friday which meant i missed our lesson on the quadratic formula. i have to go make up the test during HOT lunch on thursday, two more days to study :) although, i did take my english vocabulary test and i know that i did extraordinary. as soon as i finished my test, the fire alarm went off so we had to evacuate into the parking lot as usual. i walked down with megan and talked to her during the drill. she reminded me that we are having a taco/bracelet making party at her house on friday. color me excited, it's been torture not being able to make bracelets all week. beads in my household are very scarce so i need to save them from our party. even though, i am going to walmart to buy more beads and stretchy string to make the bracelets with. while i am at megan's house, emily will be enjoying high school musical 3. i was invited to join her but me and HSM don't really mix, kind of like oil and water actually. oh, and another fun fact for the day, i think i will actually go to the YMCA and work out tonight. i should really start going again because i really need the exercise and i have more free time on my hands lately. i am off to prepare for the gym :)

keep a calender, this way you will always know

thursday was a really bad day for me, i won't go into much detail but it really sucked a lot. yesterday was a huge deal better than thursday. although, i was sick yesterday morning. i stayed home for first and second period and then came into school at lunch. i probably would have have come in if it weren't for the fact that it was yearbook deadline day. i worked all through lunch, class, and until four in afterschool. thank god, i'm finally done with those spreads. next deadline starts monday and ends on the twenty-first. possibly the worst day for a deadline for me, but i talked to mrs. apicella and we figured something out. i came home and then made plans with taryn to go to homegrown. when we were there, i was texting marissa and she was at the haunted house that i kind of wanted to go too. i convinced taryn and emily to come with me, so they did. we met up with megan and marissa and talked for about a half hour until megan's mom came to give her money. I HATED THAT HAUNTED HOUSE. okay, yes all the people working it go to my school but they are so creepy. this stupid clown followed me from the first room into the second, i hate clowns. then this other freakish dude started to follow me so i yelled "CAN YOU STOP?!!?" thankfully he did. i don't ever want to go to those things again, and it was even worse because no one would hold my hand. my mom came to pick us up then we watched degrassi, it was a lame episode. after that, i went to make bracelets and they kept breaking on me so i gave up and went to bed. i slept for like twelve hours, it was so nice :)

i want to go to the fair.
someone should give me a ride!

i've got troubled thoughts and self-esteem to match

last night was the happiest i've been in a very long time. i went onto my bed, all the lights off and turned on my ipod to listen to the new fall out boy song. i was prepared for the worst. i started to listen to it and it put a frown on my face but then it slowly became a smile. when the song started to end, i heard "where is your boy..." in my right ear and i automatically freaked out. the next thing i know i heard "going down, down..." in my left ear. and then "dance, dance", "this ain't a scene", and "thnks fr th mmrs" and finally, "growing up". when i heard "growing up", my eyes just welled up. i don't really know why i cried because i don't usually cry when i'm happy at all, last night being an exception. i listened to the song three or four more times and then just laid in bed and thought to myself about how much i really love and appreciate fall out boy. i was giving up on them, but "what a catch, donnie" renewed my faith in them. they are the only thing that is constant in my life, i mean, like pete always says "music just can't stop talking to you". it's always there for me and it's sad to say...but it feels like the only thing that is there for me and that's why i love fall out boy so much. since seventh grade, i've been one of their biggest fan and not to mention meeting them. meeting them changed my life completely! they are just so special to me that not even these words can express it. too bad "folie a deux" got pushed back to december 16th on release....i was getting really excited. i might even start a countdown...

shameless

here's a play-by-play of my day!
period one//algebra two: algebra always gives me a headache, and it's not because it's hard it's because i really hate that class. i really don't like the sitting arrangements so i have to crane my neck to see the board, which is most of the reason it leaves me with a headache. today in algebra, lauren was acting strange and at the end of class she was tearing up. i wanted to ask her what was wrong but 1) i doubt she'd tell me and 2) i didn't want to upset her anymore than she already was. poor girl. also, i got my quiz back that i took on friday and i got a 99. boo and yah!
period two//french one: french has always been my favorite class of the day, so it was great. as usual, i talked to aly off and on all through class about shows. i also sit next to nick, he's quite annoying but i have to admit, he can be humorous. he told me that he loves madina lake and he tells me this daily. today he was like, i love river people, me vs. the world, and the auspice. i told him "the auspice isn't really a song, it's like instrumentals" but apparently he loves that song. he was amazed at the picture of me and nathan and mattew on my binder. HA! i love that.
LUNCH!: miss birthday girl, alyssa, met me in mrs. apicella's room where i gave her her gift, which was this shirt that she's been dying to have. she was so happy, and everyone was making her food including me and sam. we all got forks and just started to dig into the cake and SURPRISE! there was polly pockets in the inside. yesterday, me and sam shoved a alyssa polly pocket, a alyssa's sister polly pocket, a minuature lawn chair, and tiny picture of justin timberlake and britney spears, a small guitar, and a plastic sign that says shani. alyssa was freaking out! she loved it and it made me happy that she loved the cake that we worked so hard to make. oh, and i told off aaron during lunch today too, it was really great.
period three//yearbook: i HATE yearbook. point blank.
period four//ap english three: we went to the library today to work on our graduation project papers. although, i did no work at all. i talked to megan the entire class period. she is the most entertaining person ever (minus hayley :D). we just talked about shows, her obssession with all time low, and other random things. she told me to give all time low a try, so i might but all of there songs sound the same....or so i've heard.
afterschool: i came home and ate the house basically and then myspaced until the present time. how come i never do anything interesting that is actually worth blogging about?

the happening

if you couldn't tell by the lack of updates, i've been busy this weekend which results in me being completely exhausted. as i said in my last post, i went to the homecoming game and i didn't go alone like i thought i was. me and emily met up with taryn and lacy at the game, let's just say...it was wet. i don't even know why i decided to go to the game when it was raining meaning the bleachers were wet. whatever, it was a mistake besides the fact that i got to hang out with taryn. i left the game early with soaking wet pants, how comfortable. once we got home, i went straight to bed because the next day i had to go sell ads with the yearbook staff. we spent four hours riding around town going door to door and sold one ad. only one ad. i felt like it was a total waste of a day because no one in my group even wanted me there so what's the point. it wasn't very fun to say the least. brad came home on friday night, but i only got to see him for an hour or two before i went to bed because like i said before i was so tried. yesterday, i went to the mall to go buy alyssa a birthday present because her birthday is on monday. i bought her this shirt from hot topic that she has been dying to have, i know she will love it. i came home and chilled for a little while until i went over to samantha's house. we watched 'the happening', what a freakish movie, and i loved every second of it. we woke up this morning and made alyssa a cake. oh man, that cake is epic. i'm not going into detail because i don't want alyssa to know anything about it, it's a surprise! well, i just got home now and i'm so tired and i've been feeling way under the weather lately. i hate feeling this way but i seriously can't help it. anxiety keeps getting the best of me.

p.s- i really hate when people say things just to get a rise out of me. how freaking childish can you be?

epic, much?!

today was sort of epic in more ways than one. so...
epic moments of october 9th 2008
1) today in french we had to put on a puppet show, as i informed you all in an earlier post about the creepy puppet with the ashlee simpson nose. well, the skit was in fact epic...but not in the positive connotation. it was actually epic failure. hiding behind two desks with a tinkerbell plastic tablecloth isn't very realistic or even fun for that matter. it was so awkward too, me and two other kids for my class that i barely know close together under a table that wasn't very comfortable. as soon as we finished, the bell ran signaling that is it time for lunch which leads to....
2) BLACK GIRL FIGHT DURING LUNCH, hell yes. me and sam were standing in line waiting to get cookies when we her the infamous "ohhhhhhh". we turned around and say two black chicks scratching, pulling hair, and potentially killing one another. all the police officers abandoned their segways, which i thought they had to get to a fight quicker...., anyways, it was kind of hilarious because everyone was freaking out over if. but for once, i actually got to see it. i never see the black girl fight, that's why it was epic.
3) the lamest pep rally in holly springs high school happened during fourth period today. i mean, it was in the stadium and did i mention that it was hot as balls outside?! well it was. i found samantha, luckily and we attempted to find a seat. we ended up sitting in the junior section(i am a junior, but sam...not so much). we turned around and i say aly! so we moved up and sat next to her. she is possibly the best cheer-er in the whole school. we would have totally made varsity cheerleading. her cheering made the pep rally epic. she's hilarious! me and sam saw a-ron a while rows ahead of us so we called him over because it's his birthday and we wanted to say "happy birthday a-ron, the pimpest" well, we didn't say "the pimpest" part but it's so true. ask anybody :)
4) this isn't really epic but it sucks that no one wants to go to the homecoming game with me. i'm like, what's up with that?! sam can't, alyssa can't, aly can't...i really have no one else to ask. blah, so i'm going to follow my sister around. fun stuff, right? no, not really. and i'm really envious because hayley is at the all time low, the maine, every avenue, and mayday parade show.
I'M SO JEALOUS. i'll get over it.
i'mma go get ready to have a lame time at the homecoming game.
a bientot!

from under the cork tree

period one//algebra two: we changed seats again...! i sit in one of the worst seats possible. i face a wall, i have to completely turn to see the board. on top of that, i sit on the way other side of the class away from lauren. she was basically the only thing that helped me survive that class. we took a quiz, also. it was super easy and i'm pretty much sure i got a good grade on it, thankfully.
period two//french: we also changed seats in french, but this seat change,i was actually excited about. instead of the front row, i'm in the very back now! hip hip hooray! i also sit three seats down from aly. i'm really glad i finally get to seat close to her in that class, she's the only person i actually hold conversations with in that class. we took a test, c'est facile! LOL. just playing. that was my failed attempt to include french in my french paragraph. after the test, we got into our groups to practice for our skit on thursday. the only good part about our skits are that we get to use puppets! i aimed to get the scariest puppet i could find. trust me, i succeeded. we decided that it looks like a drag queen with pink hair and an vashlee simpson before surgery nose.
lunch: nothing too special happened during lunch. me, sam, simmons, and aaron walked around like usual. we actually went into the courtyard today for like the first time the whole year.
period three//yearbook: this week is yearbook appreciation week at school. so they have been making accouncements about it over the intercom. yipee. each day we get something to show their appreciation. yesterday was cupcakes, today was candy bars. what are they trying to do, make me fatter than i already am?! me and allison worked on our spreads until the end of class.
period four//english: first, we took a vocabulary test. those things are like epic failure for me. why?! i have no idea. i studied like crazy, i always do and i always end up getting c's. i actually think i have a d on the one i took today. after the test, we did boring classwork until the last few minutes when i talked to megan. i'm envious, she's going to the all time low, the maine, mayday parade, and every avenue show at the norva on thursday. she's constantly telling me about how she's meeting all time low, but i feel bad because i kind of don't like them at all. no one knows how badly i want to go to a show! and everyone i know is going to like five. jealous equals me. alyssa needs to convince her parents to let us go to the show in charlotte for her birthday!
afterschool: i came home, ate like the pig that i am and watching five million episodes of degrassi. oh, and today i've offically known hayley todd for eleven months!

that's all folks!

the best part of believe is the lie

i'm so angry!
scratch that, i'm not at all actually. i finished my Frederick Douglass essay and i'm going to the powder puff game.
today actually wasn't bad whatsoever. i'm starting to love school more and more. i have made so many great friends this year. so now lunch is actually something that i look forward too and like a lot.
i'm going to eat some dinnah and get ready for the game.
<3

bark at the moon

today started off plain strange, and it's just gotten even more stranger since then. i woke up at 8:10, that is so not like me. i went into the bonus room watched an episode of degrassi and then managed to crawl back into the bed and go back to sleep until 10:40. i got up again and ate some breakfast and talked with my parents on the back porch. the topic of traveling over thanksgiving came up because my mom wants to go to new york city to watch the macy's thanksgiving day parade. well i figured since they were talking about traveling, that'd i'd ask about going to hayley's house for her birthday. surprisingly, they said i can most likely go. they say this because they are leaving on halloween(my favorite holiday) for a ten day caribbean cruise. they are leaving me and emily home alone to deal, so when they get home...i should be able to go to hayley's as a reward for being a good little girl :) OH! speaking of halloween, i figured out what i'm going to be....a harajuku girl. like gwen stefani's whole love, angel, music, baby thing. and plus, japanese people are adorable. i also want to have a halloween party, it'd be great. me and alyssa were dicussing that on friday. i really want to have one, as long as it isn't lame like the last halloween party i had was. oh man, most awkward night of my life really. i should really be working on my AP english paper, but i'm so not in the mood. since i'm home alone, i like to enjoy it and not slave over my english homework. they should be home any minute acutally, and they are bringing me home moe's! i'm out.

100th post, ftw!!!!

this is the reason why i hate elevators now, but you have to admit this is the most hilarous video i've ever seen. i'll explain about it later in this post.
yesterday afterschool, alyssa rode home with me from school. once we got to my house, we attempted to get on stickam but my computer was not correperating. after many failed attempts to connect on stickam, we re-did our hair and make-up. at this point, i introduced alyssa to my clip box which contains all my hairclips. if you aren't familiar with my clip box, then you wouldn't know that it smells TERRIBLE! words that can describe the smell are as following: mrs. kumar, mrs. oosha, and mrs. glympasammi. i doubt you'll ever want to venture into my clip box. alyssa though this was hilarious. then we walked up to homegrown and when we arrived we saw lauren and kisti sitting in our favorite booth. we sat down with them and then chatted with them. a bit later, emily, shelby, and taryn came and sat with us at homegrown. we just ate and talked, and came to the conclusion that after we finished eating we would go pay the elevators a visit. the elevator is in the commerical building like two feet from my house, so we always tend to ride it. at first, we all rode up and down but then decided to spilt up into to groups and take videos. as you may notice from the video above, my elevator experience was pretty horrific yet epic. while in the elevator, alyssa exclaims "CHERIE BERRY IS A F*****G SLUT!" i started to crack up laughing, so hard that i infact fell into the buttons on the elevator. when i fell, i accidently pressed the button that says "press in case of emergency", and it started to dial 911. all i could do was press the 2 button until the doors finally opened. when the doors finally opened we proceeded to run far, far away. shelby stopped us from running away because she feared that the police were going to come. me and alyssa knew they were not going to come, but we had to wait and sure enough they never came. after being scared silly, we went back home and then got re-dressed to go to the mall. me and alyssa spilt up and taryn, lacy, and emily went on their way. we went to hot topic(first time), looked around and bought little fizzy candies that are delicious! then we walked to charlotte rouse so alyssa could get her perfume and she got this rad zebra ring. emily was in american eagle because she had a 25 dollar gift certifiate. i helped her spend it and then we ventured to hot topic for the second time, this is when i spotted the gloomy bear keychains, they are so freaking expensive, but it was so worth it. i got a purple one with a muzzle :) the cashier, of course, was my favorite one....the gay guy who i want to be my best friend. he's so cute! it's got a pink stripe of hair and he was wearing uber tight bermuda shorts. i love him but i was way too upset to actually talk to him. we got milkshakes from chick-fil-a and said our final good-byes to jess because she moved back to new jersey today. once we got home, we watched the elevator videos on the t.v and then decided to go outside and chill because it was cold. cold weather makes me swoon. we all layed in the hammock, minus emily. i'd rather not talk about what happened on the hammock because it ended up with me running into my room crying. alyssa came into my room and made me feel better. we watching videos on my itouch and then went to bed because if you can't tell, we had a really really long day. this morning, we had muffins and then watched paula dean's show. we noticed that she deep fries freaking everything, even cheesecake. i took a shower and then took alyssa home. all that happened today was parade of homes, i went with my mom. it was really hot boring, remind me not to go next year. well, i'm currently extremely anxious and scared but i have to admit that blogging chilled me out for a little bit. and, so what if my 100th blog entry wasn't the greatest...i know you laughed at the video :)
