A rather histrionic outcry of lamentation and woe.... [01 Feb 2005|10:03pm] [ mood | aggravated ] [ music | "Little by Little" by Oasis ] Can I kill something, please? I really, really, really just wanna watch all these high-strung stoners dispear from the face of the Earth. They give me fricken headaches during lunch with their insesant chatter. "Few are my years and yet I feel this world was ne'er designed for me". Byron is just as right in the 18th and 19th centuries as he is in the 21st. I'm so glad the play is over, but somehow I feel we really got cheated by the judges. They were so god damn condesending, and all the time they just told us bad things while trying to make themselves sound like they thought we were good. Bastards. Really cranky, thanks to Mrs. Hall, who is normally awesome. I decided to see if there was anything I could do to make up beforehand missing 2nd period tomorow. And she said no, and she was GUILT TRIPPING me about doing Connecting People. Well, gosh darnit, if you wanna see the two kids who I work with get left alone tomorow morning, why don't you tell them I'm not going to be coming? I'm certainly not. Had a long talk about IB and PSEO with parents over Chinese (gotten for my getting straight As this semester). I can't decide. My mom's suggestion is just to take everything Higher Level, and not bother about the dimpolma. Hmmm. Going on a Nora Roberts spree. Seems to be the only thing that saves my sanity. 2MAGICwebsSHEweaves

"Floating, falling, sweet intoxication...." [25 Jan 2005|08:41pm] [ mood | apathetic ] [ music | "Pie Jesu" by Andrew Llyod Weber ] Bah upon Christenson and the GRHS drama program. So many practices, and have stopped wanting it to be good, because he just KEEPS CHANGING WHAT WE'RE DOING and it gets on my nerves like a cheese grater on chedder. First day of new semester. Evil test thingy first and second period. Got to go to history third period. Melia, Beck, Mateya, and Audrey are there. Will be a good class. Yayness. French. Now we have B lunch. Sat by Dorey and Tyler. Yay. Sonya Erlandson didn't know we had B lunch, and she came in late and we all laughed. Hehe. Twas funny. Love that class TO DEATH. Choir. Same old, same old. Considering dropping next year. Must think on this. Six period math with Mr. Hagen. Sit by Stacy Everlud. Should be just dandy. Seventh period Multimedia Mania with Mrs. Rutherford. Not sure if I should drop. Hmmmm. But it's with Matt Wilson and Amanda Broaderick. Shouldn't be too bad. Play practice. HEADACHE. Kept getting asked if I was sick. Erg. Went home, watched "Spirited Away". All hail Miyazaki-san! Am happy. But worried about gym class. Eck. Oh, well. Will have Coly. Good thing. Please don't let me die, God. At least not until I've kissed Ron Weasley and Faramir. And Toby Stephens. 8MAGICwebsSHEweaves

[05 Jan 2005|04:59pm] [ mood | cynical ] [ music | "Nothing Precious At All" by the Stereophonics ] Speech rocks my world. Yah. And homework, not so much. 4MAGICwebsSHEweaves

Maren's Christmas, in the nut variety.... [31 Dec 2004|10:14pm] [ mood | blah ] [ music | "Jealousy" by the Stereophonics ] I'm sorry I've not seen you guys. I'm really tired. I just wanna curl into a little ball in my basement and stay there. Or, you know, just sleep all the way till Monday. Here in my Christmas vacation in a nutshell (or, in fact, summary): Went to my Grandparents in Deitroit Lakes on the first Saturday, then my Grandparents in the cities overnight, then went to Chicago the next morning, came back at 1 in the morning on that Thursday, Christmas Eve and Christmas with the usual gathering of family in the cities, then my friend Julia came on Boxing Day. We went up to GR, where she met Laura and Johanna, and then we went back down to the cities and she went back to her relatives. Then on Wednesday when with my camp friend to Phantom. (EEEEEEEEE!!!!!) Ever since then, I have been trying to get rid of the weariness of the stressfull semester and whatnot. Bah. Is it just me, or is being bitchy getting alot more common now? Wish I had prosac or midol, or some form of sleep inducing anti-histemine. Cannot breathe. English history will save my soul, I tell you. 2MAGICwebsSHEweaves

"If you can paint, I can walk!" [29 Nov 2004|06:20pm] [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | "Getting Low" (Blame it on Jake, like everything else) ] Good day! I went to talk to the French 1 peoples about French Club, and who should be there but-Tyler! Who I hadn't seen in like a week! Oh man, it was so good to see him. I seem to miss him even for short periods of time! LOL, I love having good friends. In English it turns out none of the guys wanted to be MacBeth- so who is going to play the deranged Scottish lord? Marnie, of course! LOL. Jake pissed Fulton off today, and he had to go sit away from me, Becky, and Steph. :: giggles :: That boy is so silly! Well, randomly Jake and Melia decide to go to the animal shelter, and I was going to go with, but guess what? We lost Jake and Naomi! So Melia and I just walked home, and had fun talking. (We figured out why I have an attraction to men with sticks up their asses, lol. And maybe someday Melia shall learn England-Boy's name!) So, then I went to the library, and got a load of good movies and books (And saw Katrina!). I've got a TV older than I am in my room now, and so I can watch movies in the comfort of my own bed. SWEET! I love how Tom and I are sitting about less than three feet apart but haven't said even a hundred words to each other. The complications of sibling relationships. Huh. Don't ask me. 7MAGICwebsSHEweaves

"With one look I play every part...... [23 Nov 2004|09:49pm] Tom's home. Weeeeeeeeeeird. I love this English assignment, the words just seemed to pour out! :: Maren strikes poetic pose :: So, yeah. I had a French and a Bio test today. I think I did well on both, because not only was I the first to finish in both classes, but I think I actually knew what I was talking about (Except that one question about Protists, but that will just be between you and me). JD and I went to Brewed after the Speech Meeting (which was a BLAST!) and we split a latte and a cookie. Then we read in the bookstore for about an hour, and then she had to go to work. Laura Evenhouse is coming on Friday, so I am uber excited to see her! 2MAGICwebsSHEweaves

[22 Nov 2004|08:21pm] [ mood | annoyed ] [ music | "It's Raining Men" by Geri Halliwell ] Tara's gone. ;( These whole almost two months when I haven't updated haven't been all that great. After the play, it's been one thing after another, and I just feel like locking myself up in a room with a ton of books and movies and telling everyone to fuck off. Yeah. Tiredness does something to Maren's brain. So, anyway. I bought Bridget Jone's Diary, which made me happy untill I had to go do my homework. Which makes me not so happy. At least we all had fun at snowball! And I bet you anything me and Paul Scank were the only ones all night to discuss Italian literature. It's still hard to believe Tara's gone. 2MAGICwebsSHEweaves

"Sunny days I thought would never end..." [09 Oct 2004|07:05pm] [ mood | busy ] [ music | Vahala (one of Johanna's SCA songs) ] Wheeeeee! Went over to Jakey's last night and Tara and I drove Steph and Jake crazy with French! Nous sommes tres, tres bon a ca, ma copine! And we had some interesting Truth and Daring going on. ( :: giggles :: ) My face looked like Kristina Leppenen's last after tanning. Then I watched movies till 4:15 in the morning (Melia, we are SOOO having a Hitchcock marathon!) Today I built set with Johanna, my 9th speech buddies, Nick Lynch, and Ashley Kastner. It's wasn't that bad, and we had the added bonus of being able to stare at Nick's butt. Then Johanna went to Medival Affiar and I watched this movie that won Best Picture in 1929. LOL. There were some really cook bits, and some not so cool bits. Then Johanna and Dorey came back and we went to Sam Goody, where I bought a manga and Dorey bought a DVD. Then we got beverage at Bixby's, movies at Mr. Movies (where I saw David! which was cool...), Ginger Ale from Wal-Mart (where I met Johanna's friend Jake, who totally cracked me up), food from Cub, and general amusement from Gamer's Haven (where I met Johanna's imfamous friend Tom, lol). Now I am sitting here waiting for my parents to let us use the television! Damn adult supremacy! 6MAGICwebsSHEweaves

[03 Oct 2004|04:39pm] [ mood | bitchy ] [ music | "Live Forever" by Oasis ] Well, I just had the suckiest weekend ever. Went down to the cities Friday night, and had fun then with my parents and Mary and Jim. Sort of. Then on Saturday, I woke up sleeping on cushions that were scattered (very uncomfortable) in the very warm computer room (and Maren can't stand heat). Then I went to this funeral (which wasn't any more uplifting) and then to Barnes and Noble, where I didn't buy anything because I told Dorey I'd buy her this manga if she paid me back, and by the time I realized that the store didn't have it, I didn't have time to get anything for myself. Saturday night we went and visited Tom, which was kinda weird. Because he was so different, and I felt so unconnected to him, and that everything I was saying was frivolus or mean and had no interest to him. And I got told off by my parents for chewing my nails half a dozen times. Then I woke up again in unecessary heat (why couldn't I have just slept downstairs on the acutal couch?) and proceded to be cranky all day. The only good part was that I got to see my buddy Kari. Then we drove home (and my parents refused to stop at Barnes and Noble, even though they said last night I could) and they made me cry by talking yet again about the importance of not biting my nails and I just kept thinking: I want to see a friendly face. I had just been so miserable all weekend, and had felt so left out and unloved and I just had to let it out. I cry over the weirdest things. It's always been that something small is the tip of the iceberg. Well, then on the way back we stopped and visited the wookworking guy I told you guys about at the auction committe and he said he'd be willing to make us that picnic set. So, at least that's good. Anyway, so I just wanna see someone my own age, which I haven't all weekend. I'm sorry I'm so cranky and tired, but I've had SUCH a sucky week and I miss being able to laze around with you guys more often, like this summer. God, I've just felt like such shit on a stick lately. :: le sigh :: I need an anime night. And some friends. And a hug. Badly. 8MAGICwebsSHEweaves

[20 Sep 2004|09:31pm] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | "Close Your Eyes" by James Taylor ] Well, I went to school today, maybe hoping for the part of the servant or even Helen's mother, but what part did I get in The Mircle Worker? Helen Keller. Dude. I was freaking out when Audrey told me that she had seen the list as I was on my way that. Poor Audrey, I think scared her. She told me, and all I could say was: "Fucking hell!" Anyway, I calmed down a little in English, cause it was funny watching Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale make out in the movie of The Scarlet Letters, which so does not happen in the book. And French was fun, cause I hung out with all the awesome boys in my class and did this speaking activity. And then choir and Biology wasn't as bad as usual cause I actually understood it! Then we had our first practice, and I know it's going to take alot of self-restraint for me not to talk on stage. Dude. It's going to take a mircle for me to pull this part off. Johanna come over afterwards, and we got stuffed with ice cream and pizza and watched anime, and then I tried to do my math homework (key word: tried). La de da....I hope I get to watch The West Wing! 6MAGICwebsSHEweaves

It's Survey Time, Kiddies! [19 Sep 2004|07:07pm] [ mood | blah ] [ music | Eternel Flame by Atomic Kitten (I saw them in concert, once) ] ( Wheeee! Surveyness! ) 6MAGICwebsSHEweaves

[19 Sep 2004|05:31pm] I'm so hungry!!!!!!! Dad and I are stratagizing as how to convince my mom to let us go to Sammy's and get some pizza. Please say, yes, please. I'm dying for some pizza! 2MAGICwebsSHEweaves

Back to Maren's Random 3 AM Updates [19 Sep 2004|03:16am] [ mood | anxious ] [ music | "Man on the Moon" ] LAAAAAAZY day. Sat around, and watched Alias. I should have done my PT excersises and my Bio and English homework, and I should have called Dorey, and told her that I was going to be in town and not going to Deitroit Lakes. But I didn't. Hehe. I'm evil. I've come to the conclusion that the reason I'm always happy is because I never take romantic risks. So many of my friends are caused heartache and some lose some of their trust in humanity. Can't I wait untill I'm older for that? A time machine should be built so I can go to Monday and see if I got a part in the play! 10MAGICwebsSHEweaves

[15 Sep 2004|09:42pm] [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | Tomorowland from An Affair to Remember ] School makes my lfie so busy. I had thought I was crammed this summer, but so far it's nothing compared to school. I get up every morning, see my friends in the cafeteria, go to Adamson's class, then to double English with Becky and Katrina, and then lunch with Johanna and Dorey (today we sat at the table with these randomly nice senoirs), go to my lovely French class, then choir, and get a headache in Biology listening to Jake. Poo. I was sad cause I don't get to sit with my cool group in math anymore. I now sit by these preps who wouldn't talk to me, and this boy who looked like he walked out of the 1950s with bad body odor. Eck! I feel like I've been so mean lately, and I don't know why! Today was try-outs, and even if I don't make it at least I had fun with Eliane and Johanna (Me and Elaine kept screaming the lines we had to try out: Me: "Maybe she is!", Elaine: "And maybe she ain't!" and when we went down the main staircase there was Jahovne, and him and everyone else turned their heads and stared at us) so it was worth it. I really want to get the part of Helen's mother, but I don't think I will. :: fingers cross :: Well, I must be off to bed! The one weird thing about it not being summer (besides not getting to see Amelia pratically everyday) is that I actually have to go to bed before 2AM. That's just weird, dude. 8MAGICwebsSHEweaves

Second Day of School [03 Sep 2004|09:58pm] [ mood | hot ] [ music | random James Taylor ] Today was alot better than yesterday, and much less confusing. I think I'll find a rutine in 10th grade, although it is still odd to have so many deja vu moments. Woke up late, got to school in time to hang with Steph, Melia, and all them. Math was kinda fun, I like the group I'm in, English was cool, French much fun, lunch great because Laura Evenhouse came and visited us (YAYAYAYAYAYA!), choir ok cause I did my English, and biology HORRIBLE. I swear, that class is going to dry me to the brink. She gave us the final exam she gives 7th graders and I kept thinking "Dude, I didn't do this in 7th grade science because we were too busy talking about religon and volcanos and tectonic plates and minerals and forensics!" Bah. My Grandparents came, and we went out to our cabin and I just sat and read. We're going to my uncle's cabin tomorow in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Which should be fun. They have a funky boat! I'm so tired. Maybe I should have actually rested this summer. SHEweaves

First Day of 10th Grade [02 Sep 2004|07:27pm] [ mood | calm ] [ music | "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca ] I was going to wake up at 6 AM and walk with Steph and Melia, but I had accidently set my alarm to 6 PM. Got up at 7, and then got to school. I swear I had the most horrible deja vu throughout the day. Started off great. Found Steph and Melia and we hung out in the cafeteria till it was time for our yearly stupid announcements and crap. Best thing about it was that was found out that Jahovne got a PONYTAIL!!! :: giggles insaitiably :: First period math was very boring, but fine. I sit by Kayla Lafrenier, who I say by last year in math too. (Irony, man) Then I had double English with Becky, and Jahovne's crowd (Brian, Robbie, and David) which was fun and interesting (apparently no one else is as enthused as I am about Shakespeare quotes). Our teacher seems pretty cool, and looking at all her books in the back, she has very good taste. Lunch was very uncomfortable, as I sat by people I didn't know. Urg. French was awesome. It was like nothing had changed at all, and I was still a freshman. Choir was boring, as all we had to do was range stuff for Stubbs. 6 and 7th period biology looks like it will be nothing short of hell. Besides having Jake (who now is going to call me Marnie and dancing on my tombstone), the teacher doesn't seem all that nice. Eck. So then I went home, did some online stuff (including two new journal layouts, this one and my blog), and had some food with my parents. Now going to go watch The West Wing. WHEEEEEE! Pretty boring first day, over all. Looking forward to tomorow, though! 7MAGICwebsSHEweaves

"Couldn't you have taken her out for malted shakes?" "Malted shakes? What is this, Our Town?" [01 Sep 2004|02:51am] [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | None ] Today was fun, but odd. As it turned out, only Melia and Coly showed up. But we managed to entertain ourselves ::evil grin :: . We watched all of the American Pie movies, and I'll just say that apple pie, and various other food items are now things I won't be eating. LOL. (Especially chocolate sauce). Then I just sat and watched Alias (my tape just cut out! I'm going to murder Johanna!) and eventually went to the Y with my mother. And then we went to Target, where I got loads of new clothes. And then we went home and watched some West Wing. I think I've figured out why my mother gets so pissed at me. I think she sees something of herself in me, and wants me to (effectively) become her. Sure, she's had a very happy life, but sometimes I wish my mother would endorse my decisions about my life. (Particulalary clothing. There was THE cutest green sweater, but mom wouldn't let me get it, saying SHE didn't think it looked good on me, forget the fact that I might be wearing it, not her. Bah.) I forsee that I shall have to become an Alias junkie. And that not only am I never going to grow above 5 foot (so says my leg doctor today), but that I will also have arthritis and no cartalige by the time I'm 40 (at the latest). Oh, well. C'est la vie. I'll write some best seller and prove I don't have to be a jock like the rest of my family. 4MAGICwebsSHEweaves

I am Maren, here me roar......or whimper [29 Aug 2004|10:56pm] [ mood | grumpy ] [ music | Universally Speaking by the Red Hot Chili Peppers ] New (depressing) layout featuring Vash the Stampede of Trigun. Bah. I'm tired, slightly cranky, and in much pain. My dear Auntie Floo isn't helping, and I think that my back is starting to give out. Oooow. Wednesday was fun, but we missed Tara. Thursday I missed Amelia and Amber, but found my English and Biology classes, which was good. Friday was AWESOME. I got woken up by Laura and Johanna, Dorey came. We went, got movies, pop, and phish food ice cream. Then we had a Matrix marathon (Dorey was a Matrix VIRGIN!) and other various movies. Oh, and I saw X-Files for the first time. Good day! Yesterday we had a surprise birthday party for Lee Norton's mom. That was kinda fun, except Brian McDonald's dad kinda made fun of me. I'll just say I have very similar qualities to my dog (who we had for the weekend!). Bah. Today I was a load. Just sat around. In pain. And rain. Melia, will call you tomorow. Sorry I missed you on the phone tonight! 6MAGICwebsSHEweaves
