9:10 pm - Hola mis amigos.
|
I must have the coolest student teacher ever. I mention a band, she knows who they are! =) It's great.
Today I had literacy team... and literacy team is probably the dorkiest after school activity offered by my school, but it's fun. We're reading "After the First Death" and the next meeting is next month. By then everyone is expected to finish the book. Then we discuss! We also get fed cookies and water or Pepsi. Marvelous.
What else? I've been in such a writing mood lately, but school always disturbs it. And darn. I have a chapter to treat but I am the epitome of what it means to be lazy, so I'm going to get that done some other day. I know that I'm motivated.
I lost my planner. Gee. I think I left it in Literacy Skills which is somewhat ironic.
92 on my protest and reform paper. =(
I went out to eat with my sisters and step-dad. Linguine all von Gole, or something like that, is what I had... it had clams in it. Yum.
...I hate my period. =( =( =(

2:43 pm - Snow.
|
We got almost two feet of snow over the weekend...
Andy will no longer try to not come on the computer, but she assures me that school will be keeping her busy...
Yadayada. At this point in time I no longer care. Everything will always be pointless. People I know now I won't know in a year.
...Whatever is the most basic message I am trying to convey. Whatever, whatever, and... whatever.

4:54 pm - Rant.
|
I decided to not be lazy and made myself an icon. =) The picture IS of me but photoshoped the ugly thing to death.
...As for my rant. I am extremely tired of older fans of the music I listen to discriminating against me because I am only fourteen.
1) I am, more than likely, more passionate about the music.
2) My musical taste is superior just because I'm not limited to pop-punk or what is popular in our obscure scene. 3) Who says that I like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte? Or that I once liked them? Not me, you jerks.
4) I am SMART, and not just book smart. I'd know intelligent music if I listened to it.
5) Who cares if I go to a damn concert with one of my parental units? More money for the band, and I am showing support.
6) I don't scream. I don't think any of the band members are hot.
7) I don't wear sparkly halter tops, nor am I a Hot Topic whore! In my attire I look more like a boy, thruth be told. =(
8) People who mosh at shows are stupid; not because they step on me, but because the shows I have gone to have featured SOFT bands like Mae and Something Corporate! Grr. Mosh to real and hard rock, please.
...Yes. I don't quite care for all the generalizations people make about individuals my age. (Obviously). Even at fourteen, I can be a fan of good music. All right?
Darn straight!

9:31 pm - Hmph.

I still need to take a shower and do my Algebra homework. =( But my Algebra homework shall take me... 0.02 seconds. I have to graph percents and then write a paragraph about it. EASY! I think I'll do my vocabulary for math while I'm at it... so I can free up some of my weekend and do nothing as usual.
I went out to eat with my mom and sisters and Nicole (my sister's evil friend)... it was good. Overall I feel pretty happy. A little tired, but happy. I didn't get a lot of homework, and I don't think I'll get a lot of homework.
History was fun. My MEH (Modern European History) teacher took me aside to tell me that my protest and reform paper was very uncharacteristic of me. =) I think I said I complained about summer reading. Well, I don't like it. I love to read, but I don't like summer reading because they assign you cruddy books... and I won't read anything else because then I feel guilty. So because of summer reading I end up reading less. I know I'm a geek. Proud of it, too! Before History I got to poke and prod Stephanie at lunch. She is in none of my classes which is sad... but that's what I get for being an advanced Freshman. Pretty much, my academic subjects are with sophomores and other adv. Freshmen. Except for math. I retook Algebra... and I regret it because I'm really bored.
Next year I get to take American Studies! I'm sad that - if my plan to go to early college by the time I'm a junior works out - I won't get the chance to take Humanities.
It sounds so fun! Says the super geek.
I was looking for some good Blurty communities to join... but I haven't found any. =( My search shall continue. I need... friends. Seriously.
I HATE ABSOLUTEPUNK.NET and PUNKNEWS.ORG. Everyone on those two sites are homophobic. And narrow-minded. And think Dashboard Confessional and the All-American Rejects are emo. ...Okay, okay, I'm done.
Now because I pwn Spanish...
Hola, amigos. Me llamo Amber. Yo necesito una vida. =(

4:13 pm - Detention.
|
I was supposed to have detention today but my math teacher let me go. =)
Oh. The pro's of being, 99.9% of the time, an "ideal" student.
I did my History paper on summer reading. It felt funny typing this for the reason that summer reading and History has nothing to do with each other... ah well.
I was up until midnight then, as well. I need to start getting things done earlier.
Tonight I have some Spanish I homework, but that should be easy. Amber freakin' pwns Spanish!
I need to get more people to talk to online. I have been going on the computer a lot more recently and I am utterly bored.
...If you want to stalk me, my AIM is theteenageloser. =) That is also my account on FictionPress.com and I implore you to check out my work there! Finished with the plugging now.
I'm happy. Christmas vacation is in... three weeks? I can hardly wait! And then the school year is half-way done, and before I know it I'll be a sophomore taking on three wonderful junior classes. I hope they get more challenging/interesting. I doubt it.
I'm already thinking of my summer... I can't say I like school even though I'm good at it. People always think I like school.
I got my report card some time ago. My grades are dissapointing, only because I know that my evil rival did better than me in my MEH and Spanish class. =(

12:41 am - =) Yay.
|
I just finished three out of my five assignments. Hellishly late at night, but they're still done!
The other two, my Health and History projects, can be put off until tomorrow. =)
So, now, you know, I can go to bed. Because bed is a seemingly good thing.

So Andy does not want to come on the computer anymore...
I don't know what to do now. She was one of the few people that talked to me over the internet. She was one of my few friends. I guess I'll just have to stick with e-mailing her, although it would be a lie to say that e-mail is the same as AIM - and actually talking to each other over the program with a mic. =(
Yesterday I hung out at Stephanie's house. It was fun. I finally got to see "Finding Nemo" and the movie was... quaint. -Shrugs.-
I have a lot of stuff to do today...
Chapter 37 treatment for Biology (vocabulary, 12 questions, topic conversions)
Protest and reform paper for History
Read up to chp. 15 of "Catcher in the Rye" and do questions for English
Smoker interview for Health
A helluvalota math
...Fun.

I got my first 100 on my Modern European Essay. =) I repeatedly received 99s because I screwed something up on the formatting, but today I finally prevailed over MLA format. Take that, teacher.
I have not RPed in forever. I don't seem to have any homework (or, rather, I can put off what homework I have for tomorrow or the long weekend) so I may take a nap and wake up later to type something resembling a brilliant introduction... except it will be crappy. Hence "resembling".
-Grunt.- I had to go to the doctor. They wanted me to take my clothes off but that did not happen. =) Being young, I get away with saying "I'm not comfortable with that". Apparently I need to shed some many pounds, but I really don't look my weight. I'm not slim, but I'm not fat...
I don't care, but I'm going to try and get rid of that extra weight. I'd just feel better about myself if I didn't have legs the size of hams.

2:52 pm - ...Revelations
|
I don't have any friends whatsoever. It's sad; but my own doing. I have no idea how you actually make them, but I guess it would involve not being as shy as I am. Or mean. I happen to be pretty mean to guys. Not girls, just guys. Because I tend to initially dislike them. Couldn't explain why.
Hmm..
I have no idea how I got this published in an anthology.
Swords have called on brother’s blood,
Bullets have reigned in torrent floods-
For peace we would always fight…
If we could just see the endless plight.
On long and far foreign lands,
Foreign crusaders have fallen to our crusading hands.
Baths of blood give us our ill-founded security,
As if foe’s blood meant something more than just our national impurity.
Hold the hands of countries starved,
Then maybe peace will not be so very far.
Weapons and bloodshed could we put aside?
Do not tell our people that we have already tried...
This is the blood of our brother slain
coming from his severed veins.
And while fighting has brought us so much pain,
Think of all it has attained-
Nothing.
It was bad.
I'm not a good writer, but some people think I am. It really annoys me. And I hate when people will just say "Oh, that's good!" without giving me constructive feedback. I did this story for school, and let a few people read it, and they didn't even have anything to say about it. That makes me mad.
I also don't understand how anyone could dislike the new Saves the Day album. It's the best one by far. I believe that some don't like that it lost its punk sensibilities, but everyone's trying to do punk, so becoming more poppy just sets it apart from everything else. It's original.
That's it.

I was up until 7:00 AM. Not a record, but still worth recognition.
All I do on the weekends is work and go on the computer. I don't hang out with my "friends", so I guess I'll end up talking about online people more.
Pheo really can get on my nerves, but I guess I just have to deal with it. Maybe she'll just stop IM'ing me. I don't think I'd be too mad if she did.

Halloween was fun. I went trick-or-treating and got candy.
Someone thought I was Kelly Osbourne, though, which I did not care for.
Today I went to work. Before then I went on the computer, and Kat decided to IM me. I think the only person I like from the internet is Pheo, to tell you the truth, but I did like Oron. Except he was a Neopets only person, and because Neopets changed, I haven't seen him round.
I don't believe that Pheo really likes me anymore. I don't know why I think that, but I do.
Things are alright. I've been really sad and tired lately, but I'm always sad and tired. Depression, maybe. I wouldn't know.

I know the layout's ugly, but I am too stupid to figure out how to change it. =)
Today at school was funny.
This kid, Ryan, was talking to... Erica, I THINK her name is. He was asking her if she did drugs or not.
Then he turned to me, and said that he wasn't going to bother asking me.
"Rocker chicks who wear all black definitely do drugs."
Phff.
I believe something else happened at school that was worth mentioning, but I forgot. =(
I'm so... cool. I'm going trick-or-treating with Alyssa and Marrissa. I do not really care for either of them, but at least I am not just sitting in the house all Halloween night. =) I am going to look cool. I was considering wearing my costume to school, but I figured people ALREADY thought of me as a big dork; didn't need to confirm it.

3:42 pm - Hi.
|
I have no friends, but most of the entries are going to be friends only. So, if by some small chance, you do want to read about my boring life... please feel free to request to be my blurty buddy.
"Blurty buddy". Quite a nice sound to that.
