x[A Pirate's Life For Me]x's Journal

7:02PM - WHOA.

I seriously haven't updated this since prom? Crazy. I guess that's because I started LJing, which I still might do. Maybe I'll do dual journals, or just forget to update this like I do the other one.

Let me catch you up:
I love Tech. Duh. If you came here you'd understand :)
My classes aren't that bad, which is sweet.
Mon and I don't hate each other, like everyone thought we would. Sorry to burst your bubble. We're sweet.
Dionis and I are still dating, despite our rough spot. So yeah, yay.
I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THANKSGIVING. Basically just because I want to decorate for Christmas and eat good food. Exciting!

Mon's Mom and sister came today and they're awesome. Her mom loves me. We ate some Mexican with Leviticus. It was fun.

Okay bye.

(for Captain Jack)

3:11PM - Finally, something worth updating about.

Prom night was wonderful. I just thought I'd start out by saying that. Now I'll go through the whole day.

Well Friday is actually when it started, since that's when I got my nails done. Monica came with me and we made fun of people and I got some nails! It's really crazy to have nails. I've had little nubs for my whole life. Because of this, I haven't stopped playing with them since I got them. I am lame.

Okay, now the actual Prom day. I got up around 8:20 or so and got to the hair place by 9:30, where she put me up in curlers and under the really hot dryer thing that almost made me vomit. She did someone else's hair and then worked on mine. She had to tease it and used tons of hairspray and stuff, but I really liked the way it turned out. I thought it looked a lot like the picture I showed her so I was pleased. I got home around 12 and between then and 3:30 got all my other stuff on and ready. Gma and Gdad came over at 3:30 to see me and they liked my dress. Then they left and Dionis showed up around 4:30, looking very handsome in his tuxedo. We took a bunch of pictures, so I guess I'll put a couple up here?

We left for The Melting Pot at around 5:20 because the mapquest directions said it was going to take 40 minutes and our reservations where at 6:15. We ended up getting there at like 5:50 or something and went in and sat down. The booths were sweet, by the way. Basically, dinner was really awesome. We had cheese fondue with vegetables, apples, and bread cubes for our first course. Then we had a salad with really good house dressing. Our main course was chicken, pork, steak, duck, shrimp, and "pot stickers" in some weird cooking style. We were morons and weren't using our sticker things to cook them, so that was embarassing. For dessert we had a chocolate fondue with bananas, strawberries, pineapple, marshmallows, pound cake, brownies, and a peice of cheesecake. GOOD LORD. Now, keep in mind these were all tiny portions (only a couple small peices of each thing), but it still filled me up SO much. I thought I was going to rip my dress. Not even kidding. At some point during dinner my mom called and was like "The prom tickets are here!" (long story...), so THAT sucked and got me upset. Then when we went to leave the purse I was carrying broke for NO apparent reason. Oh, and all the little roses on my corsage kept falling off. So needless to say, when we were walking around after dinner waiting for my mom I was not in a good mood and I was afraid that my evening was going to be ruined. Well, my mom showed up with the tickets and we left for prom at around 8:30 or so.

We managed to get there without getting lost, which was nice. We parked and walked in and I immediately checked my shoes because they were really uncomfortable. We chatted with people for a little while and then went to dance. We danced a lot and it was really fun. The only downside was that it made my stomach hurt because I was SO full. Richard was dancing and it was the cutest thing I have ever seen in my whole life. And Chase did the robot in the middle of the floor which was pretty hilarious. We just danced a lot and it was a lot of fun. It sucked when we had to stop for senior walk. Dumb waste of time! So after that we danced some more... basically until the night was over. Dancing was probably my favorite part of the night, actually. I wouldn't have thought it was going to be, but who knows. I was lucky to have a really good dance partner, so that was nice. The dancing was all over at 12 and we left for home.

We were rushing home so we could make it to school by 1 and get a door prize, but I was too late. Meh. We got to school a little after 1 and watched NF play. Then we walked around and did... I don't even remember. I was really tired the whole time. All I remember is Dionis gambling and me eating icecream and watching NF play. Oh, and then we played ping pong. And got our picture taken. And played mario tennis for 2 seconds. And .... yeah, don't remember. I was too tired. They called us all into the gym at 4 for the door prizes which took FOR-FREAKING-EVER. We were seriously there until 5:30 in the morning. They saved the Ipods for last (what I put all my raffle tickets in), and when they called my number for the 30 gig one I didn't even realize it. Dionis had to be like "HONEY THAT'S YOU" and I was just like "...Oh." and walked down there. I was too tired to be excited. It was only today that it hit me that I got a $300 Ipod for free. It's pretty awesome.

Anyway, it was a great night. I'm sad it's over.

(1 kiss | for Captain Jack)

10:16PM - So so silleh.

I can not update from Monday. I'll just say that I love American Idol so so much. That should cover it.

Let me just start with Friday. I got up and went to school for 1st period to take some dumb quiz. It took 5 seconds and then I just sat there until fiesta Friday. We got fun stuff like hats and cookies and pins and bubbles, so I guess that was pretty sweet. I just ate my cookies and left. Good day at school! From school I went and picked up Dionis and we came back by the house for 2 seconds before hitting the road. For 5 and a half hours. Woo. The drive wasn't too bad. People who ride my bumper make me angry so I think I probably flicked off like... 10+ cars the whole trip. It made me angry. We listened to a million CDs and... yeah. Just drove for a really long time. We got in to Charleston around 3 and met up at Dad's work. We went in and everyone was watching some basketball game on an enormous-screen TV in a conference room instead of doing lawyer-like things. Maybe I should consider going into law... except that I don't like basketball.

We went up to the house and gave Dionis the tour. Then... I really don't know. I think we just played video games/watched TV/played ping pong for a long time. I was really tired from driving. Maybe Dionis and Jack played baseball? I don't remember. Betsy made good dinner. We had steak, salmon, and broccoli. Uhhh.. I don't remember what we did after that. Probably played more video games? I was really beat from driving because I'm lame or something.

On to Saturday! It was this morning when I was going to get in the shower that I realized I was missing my class ring. Just bear that in mind. We ate pancakes and then went out bowling. Guh. BAD IDEA. I went back to sucking. I started off my game with a strike... and it was all downhill from there. Seriously. We were playing 2 simultaneous games, one with bumpers and one without. Let me just say that I lost out of EVERYONE (that includes Jack and Annie) in the game without bumpers. I don't understand myself sometimes. It is kind of upsetting when you suck at everything.

After all the bowling we went to Lowe's for a little while to get like... paint chips? It kind of reminded me why I like interior design. Anyway. As we were driving to go to lunch we noticed that something was on fire (like, really on fire) over in the city part of Charleston. Apparently it was really close to both Jack and Annie's school and their church. Jack got really excited and thought he'd never have to go to school... but it wasn't their school. It was still weird. Anyway! So we went to lunch at this place called the Bistro and it was really good. I got some... turkey, bacon, swiss... thing. Was good. Made me very full. Then we came home and... psh. I don't remember. I think people played pool while I played video games. And then I got a head ache/stomach ache/eye ache(???) while everyone else watched TV. That sucked. After dinner Dad, Betsy, Dionis, and I watched Life of Brian. Then... I went to bed because I was very tired. OH. Also, we looked for my ring all day, but to no avail. :(.

Today was a long day. Let me tell you. I got up early and we had sausage and cheese biscuits before hitting the road. We made pretty good time and were able to stop for lunch, which was nice. I even let Dionis drive. How nice of me. He was talking in a country accent for like... 30 minutes, at least. Then when he tried to talk in his regular voice he couldn't and it was really hilarious. I'm sure other funny stuff happened but I can't remember. The ride back was better than the ride up, I think. But it was a nice weekend and I feel better about some things, I think. At least for the moment.

I came home and took a nap after that. When I got up Katherine, Mom, and I went out to eat at Uno's. Uno's burger with bacon and cheese = fabulous. I had been craving a cheeseburger since I had seen the huge grills at Lowe's yesterday. It was really bizarre because a paramedic came in the restaurant and wheeled a stretcher up to the bathroom. Eventually they brought out some woman who I think was vomitting?? But yeah, it made me feel really uncomfortable and no longer hungry. I think someone said she may have been "insanely drunk"... so I'm thinking alcohol poisoning? Not smart, children.

When I got home Gma and Gdad came over and we talked for a while about various things and watched the cats run around like small children. That was nice. Then when they left I watched an episode of Golden Girls. Best. Show. Ever.

Oh. So I never found my ring at Dad's house and it made me very sad. Tonight I was on the phone with Dionis and I walked in to the bathroom and saw that it was on the little ring holder thing where I put it when I take it off to shower. The conversation went as follows:
Me: Oh my gosh, I just found my ring!!!
Dionis: Are you kidding me?
Me: No! I found it! I'm so happy!
Dionis: You're so dumb.

It was funny... and I am dumb. But yay for not losing a very expensive piece of jewelry!

This week might be long.. but the weekend should be nice. I'm actually really happy that I get to go to Kindergarten this Friday. Nerdy! And maybe a show on Saturday? Who knows.

(1 kiss | for Captain Jack)

5:25PM - "Seven. Seven prostitutes."

This entry should be considerably shorter than my last.

Yesterday was alright. We went to my grandparent's for Katherine's birthday breakfast thing. Breakfast casserole = awesome. If you haven't had it, your life is not complete. We talked about random stuff like when there was a bat in Katherine's room and when that bee stung me on my throat when I was sleeping. Good times. We had cake and icecream and opened presents and it was nice. Then people started working on cars and there was a big misunderstanding and I think everyone hates me, the end.

When I got home I helped Katherine pack her car and then got ready to go to Pony Pasture with Dionis. It was a really pretty day. Unfortunately there were a billion and a half people at the river, since it was pretty much the first nice day of spring. The water was so cold. So while Dionis swam around in the water, I just kind of laid on the rock and watched/laughed at him. Some dumb girls kept losing their flip flops and Dionis kept having to catch them for them. Then they like... put on some music and were dancing around like stupid sluts. STHO AWESTHOME, GUYSTH! Annoying. So we were there for like an hour and then decided to go. We came back to the house and I made him a sandwich before he had to go to work.

I helped my mother in the yard some because I'm SUCH a good daughter. Then I came in and did homework. We started to watch Pirates but we didn't get to finish it. Sad face.

Today was pretty dumb. I had to go to the library forever and work on that stupid history packet. Still not done, actually. It's ungodly long.

Now I'm here cleaning out the turtle tank, which is sufficiently revolting :(

(6 kisses | for Captain Jack)

1:19AM - Cause you had a bad day...

Oh snap. It's really late.

Wednesday I think I just... came home and did tons of homework. Oh, wait. This was the day that really sucked. I got sick AND started my PERIOD, so I hated life. I just did homework and napped and then watched American Idol. <3 Kevin so much.

Thursday was a stupid day. After school we had rehearsal until about 3. Then I went to Jersey Mike's where I met up with Dionis and he bought me a sub. We ate and sat in my car and listened to music until I had to go back to school at like.. 3:40. I was in the sight reading room for seriously... 5 hours. GUH. I completely missed American Idol. Life over. But I guess I got all of my Tri-M hours? Whatever. We log rolled and decided that it should be an Olympic sport. Cross country log rolling. It was really hilarious at the time.

Friday was busy like whoa. School was pretty stupid, if I remember correctly. I can never ever remember school. Oh well. Right after school I went to Salem Elementary ALONE to volunteer with the little children. That same little girl made me go everywhere with her. Katie Simmons? I guess we're BFF or something. And a bunch of little children drew me pictures. Like this little black boy named DeRon drew me a picture that said "Becca. DeRon. I love you." Ha. It was SO AWESOME. Volunteering there just makes me love little black children that much more. OH. And some little boy asked me if I was having a baby. WHAT THE HELL. I wanted to die a little bit. That is seriously the WORST feeling in the world when someone asks you that. I was like "WHAT?! NO. WHY?!?!" and then he said "Because I'm never going to be line-leader." I didn't really get the connection, but it still made me immensely upset. Whatever. It was a white child, so he sucks anyway. A white child with a mullet.

After all the children went home I went to Dionis' for a little while since he lives like 2 feet away. Nadely was like "I saw you at school!" and it was really cute because I had seen her like... 30 minutes ago. She's adorable. So I watched Harry Potter with Dionis for a like... an hour, maybe. Then I went back to school. I went in the sight reading room because I was early and hung out with Tana and other children. Eventually Manda and I "led our band". We had Mr. McCarney who was being a huge jerk. We ended up having to stay in the sight reading room through Sym-Con because no one showed up for the sight reading room shift or something. Stupid! But I think I got... 3 more hours? Which hopefully I can use towards regular Honor Society. We'll see.

Since Manda and I both got out at the same time I invited her to come to El Paso with me and Dionis. Sooo.. I guess I went on my first double date with Manda and David. Giggle. I am so in love with white sauce, omg. But yeah, it was nice. After that Dionis and I went to WalMart to kill time and I felt like I was going to pass out. We met up with Aaron and Leslie at about 9:30 at Holiday Bowl. I started out okay, but it went downhill rather quickly. I started getting really mad because I was sucking so much, so this like... professional bowler guy in the lane beside me told me some technique to try, and the next thing I rolled was a STRIKE! It was so sweet! Then I rolled another one after that! It was amazing, really. If you had seen how much I was sucking before.. it was miraculous. I got a 69 and came in last place out of 4 on my first game and then got a 98 and came in 2nd on the second game. Leslie and I beat the boys! It was tight. I love that bowler man, whoever he was.

After that we went to Friendly's and ate icecream and I love marshmallow sauce. Mmmm. Now I want some. I got really really tired at Friendly's and... then came home. Hooray.

[Side Note: Sorry this is so long. I need to update more regularly.]

Now... TODAY. I got up around 9 and ate raisen bran and watched TV. Katherine was running around getting ready for Valerie's wedding and being dumb and laughing at how she's dumb. I basically did nothing until I left at like... 1:30? I went and got gas which SUCKS because it's so freaking expensive. Screw you, gas. I went to school and then realized I'd left like... everything I needed at home. So I went back home and got it and came back. Then I signed in and just sat around waiting for Manda. There was a band that got straight 2s and all the kids were like "HOORAY!!! WE GOT 2s!!!!"... and it was really weird for me. Manda showed up but we didn't even lead our band because the guy was like "We've done this a million times... we don't need you." Uhhhhh...... okay, sir. He was creepy anyway. So we sat around and talked and it was nice. After a really long time we got ready to play and I realized that I had told Mom we performed at 6:30 but it was actually at 6. SO... I was flipping out, but I eventually got to my phone and called her and she made it. Go mom. I kind of thought we sucked, personally. At least on Prairie song. I don't know about the others. But we got all 1s so whatever. Hooray, I guess.

I went out to dinner at Applebee's with my mother after that. I was in a bad mood for reasons that I will not put on here. If you know, good for you. We got Dionis as our waiter (even though I didn't ask?) and he told me he had to close (even though he hadn't been scheduled to), so that was cool. Anyway. Mom and I talked and I inhaled my fried chicken salad because I was quite famished. We split a blue ribbon brownie which is pretty awesome. But yeah... I was in a bad mood so I'm sure I wasn't fun to be with. Sorry :(. I am lame.

When I got home I had a huge headache so I fell into a coma on the couch. I didn't wake up until Dionis called me at like... 11:50... but he was still at work. Thankfully my headache is gone now, because my head was throbbing and it sucked.

I still need a job but apparently the library isn't hiring right now. I think I'm going to go to the library on Monday to do homework and I'll get an application then. Fabulous. Because, yeah. I really need money. And apparently if you volunteer at the library that helps you get a job, so maybe I'll have to start doing that. I don't know if I want to, but I just really... need money. :(. WHOA. Maybe I could apply to that animal clinic on route 10 as well. I think Stephanie works there and they're probably not hiring... but I could try because that's pretty close and I like animals. [Thoughts on this would be great, thanks.]

I should really go to sleep right now. Bye.

(for Captain Jack)

9:17PM - When the minutes seem like hours and the hours seem like days...

Hanson = sweet.

Today was okay, I guess. Odd days are actually not that hard for me, which is nice. And I was in a relatively good mood. I don't know why, but having all this stuff that I have to do actually makes me feel kind of good? Weird, I know. I think it's because I'm FINALLY getting the stuff done that needs to be done and not procrastinating feels nice.

After school I just kind of sat in the parking lot because I didn't know what was going on. Josh came over and started talking to me... and when I put on Hanson he knew the words. Like, he seriously knew the words from my title. And he didn't just know the chorus, either! I was kind of in shock, but it was sweet. So we sang Hanson until he left and then I went to meet Dionee at WalMart. He bought HP4 (nerd.) and then we looked at car stuff. Again. He's all about his car these days, but I guess that's cool. When we were checking out we saw Patch. Oh, Patch.

From WalMart we went to AutoZone and then I decided to go home. I did tons of homework and watched Golden Girls and had interesting conversations with Mom and Katherine. Then it was AMERICAN IDOL TIME! Lololllz. Love it. OH MAN. I heard this rumor today that CHRIS MIGHT LEAVE THE SHOW AND JOIN FUEL. But... he's my favorite! :(. I guess we'll have to see tomorrow night.

So I started planning my spring break today. I think Monica and I are going to take a road trip to VT one day. A 3 hour car ride with Monica? Can you say THE SWEETEST CAR RIDE OF MY LIFE?! I can't wait. That will be a very fun day. I also have to go bowling with her over the break as well, just because bowling is actually fun... even though I'm horrible at it. It's cool. So if anyone else wants to make tentative plans for Spring Break let me know because... having plans makes me feel organized.

Monica and I were also talking about the Busch Garden's field trip for Physics... which is going to be SO AWESOME. That'll be a really fun day. I'm excited :)

Oh oh oh. I think I'm going to get a job application from the central library tomorrow. Eek. Let me know what people think about this. I just... really need a job because money is kind of tight. And really... having money is awesome.

Okay, now I need to print out this stupid BioMed current event. Grr, school. But it's okay because I'm actually in a good mood right now, despite the fact that I'm getting sick, about to start menstruating, and this week is stressful. Woobee.

(for Captain Jack)

9:24PM - Oobs.

I guess I lose again!

Last week was probably not interesting anyway. Thursday was the Pre-festival concert, which was sufficiently stupid. We kind of sucked a lot, but whatever. I had to rush home after we finished to watch AMERICAN IDOL because I'm really lame like that. I love Chris. He better win.

I'm going to have a serious delimma starting this week. Both America's Next Top Model AND the guy's night of American Idol (my favorite) come on at 8pm on Wednesdays. LAME, TV PEOPLE. VERY LAME.

Friday was pretty busy. After school I went and volunteered at Salem Elementary with Monica and it was sweet. Seriously. I kind of love it. There were cute little black children and they said they were my friend! And some little girl like... became my best friend and made me go everywhere with her. And then some boy proposed to me, but he was kind of creepy. Oh, and I saw Nadely! She's adorable. I love her. But overall, it was a pretty awesome experience. I'm glad that I'm getting to volunteer doing something that I enjoy doing.

After that Monica and I went to the library and worked on our government project. After a while Lorennzo showed up and it was just... really embarrassing after that. He's so loud, but he's really hilarious. We went to Dairy Queen and Dionis met us there. I just laughed the whole time and we made some random girl who was there start laughing and it was just... pretty priceless. I guess you had to be there.

I took Monica home and got a call from Dionis saying he locked his keys in his car at Flagstop with his car running. GUH. So I had to run to his house and get his keys and run to Flagstop... and when I got there he told me that he had just left the radio on, not the whole car. Grr. Anyway, from there we went to Uno's and had the loser waiter guy again. Then we came back and Dionis left to go bowling and I watched Legends of the Fall. But Dionis ended up coming BACK so we watched half of Legends of the Fall together.

The next day he came over at some point and we finished it. I was crying uncontrollably and he... laughed at me. Nice. Uh, he went to work and my mother and I went out prom dress shopping. Eee. It was really annoying for the most part because everything was really ugly and cheap looking. I finally found a dress in Hecht's that was pretty so I bought it. It's brown with a halter top and it's pretty cute, I think. I don't know if it's "the perfect dress, omg!", but it'll do. I'm actually like... excited for prom. I got really girly and looked at ways to do my hair and accessories to use and yeah. Lame stuff such as that.

Monica came over that evening and we worked on the government project again. Or we... talked online and did the train and did a little work. Ha, we're awesome. I had to get gas before taking her home because my gas light came on... but I only had 2.57 on my gas card. That was pretty dumb. Anyway, so after that I picked up Emily and we went and got an appetizer at Applebee's with CSIs. We laughed about Hanson and were really embarrassing and colored pictures. "YOU CAN'T DRAW BOOBS ON LEPRECHAUNS!" Oh man. Hilarity. "Patchy Pants the Booby Leprechaun" is awesome. We stayed forever and I eventually took her home. Dionis came over after work to see my dress and we ended up falling in to comas because we're interesting.

Sunday I slept in and then did homework. It was nice, minus my mother yelling at me for relaxing. I watched the Discovery channel for a really long time. It's actually a pretty sweet channel. So yes, very chill day for the most part. Dionis came over and we went bowling, where we happened to see Michelle and her boyfriend. I suck at bowling and it is awesome :). But I did get a strike! And... lots of gutter balls. Go me!

And today was bleh. I'm just glad we got our Government project over, even if Adler did try to sabotage us. Screw him. School is dumb and Monica has no attention span. But after school I hung out with Monica, Manda, Josh, and Jenelle for a little bit and then went home and did tons of homework. Hooray.

(for Captain Jack)

10:33PM - I am so going to name my child Pippa.

I am so on the ball with this updating! Go self.

So yesterday was relatively chill, if I remember correctly. I got up and ate cereal and watched TV or something. That really is the life. Mad love for Saturdays. Dionis came over and we made up and played MarioKart. We finally beat it! THE WHOLE THING! In a way it makes me kind of sad... but then I think about how angry it made me and I stop being sad. I don't really remember what else we did because I'm a bad person. Eventually he left for work and I watched Discovery channel for ages. I was watching shows about dinosaurs for seriously... 3 hours. Then I started watching some movie about a guy who lived with grizzly bears but got eaten, but luckily I left the house about 45 minutes into it. That was just TOO much discovery channel.

I picked up Emily and we blasted Hanson for the 2 seconds that it takes to get from her house to Applebee's. When we got in the guy was like "2 for Dionis, right"... and we were immediately overcome with shame. They sat us in some booth that's supposed to seat like 8 people, so we just pretended that we were sitting with Hanson. Invisible Hanson. OH MAN. THAT SWEET SONG CAME ON. "Bop bop bop bop..... AHHH." Not as sweet when typed, but whatever. We basically just laughed like morons the whole time about dumb stuff and it was coo.

Today I got up and got ready for some MAHCIE TIME! I picked her up and we jammed on the way to Uno's. When we got there we sat down and did the train/laughing thing/t-rex a billion times in a row because we're SWEET. Eventually Dionee showed up and he ate all of my salad. WEH WEH WEH. (Jk. No one but Monica will get that.) Anyway, so we were really nerdy the whole time and it was fun. From Uno's we went to Friendly's where I realized that I had left my sunglasses at Uno's. But instead of going back we just ate icecream and listened to this bizarre family that was sitting behind us try to speak Spanish. Amusement. Next we went to Target and played video games forever. Need for Speed is STILL AWESOME... but I think I prefer the old school? Maybe that makes me a loser. Before taking Mahcie home we went BACK to Uno's and Basil had my sunglasses! Aw, so silleh. Anyway. So... took Monica home and blared my horn at her because I luhh her. From there Dionis and I went to Food Lion for 2 minutes before he went to work.

I came back here and watched Storm of the Century and did homework and ate grilled cheese. And now I really don't want this next week to come because it's going to SUCK. :(.

(2 kisses | for Captain Jack)

10:02AM - I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery...

Oh, Kelly Clarkson.

So on Thursday we had practice but it ended up only being like 45 minutes which was pretty sweet. Mr. Shaffer finally announced that he's going to Cosby next year. Everyone already knew, Shaff. He was getting all choked up and I was just like "For the love of God, please don't start sobbing uncontrollably or something"... so yeah, it was kind of bad. And awkward. The silence afterwards was awkward, that is.

School yesterday was retarded, as usual. After school I came home and Dionis came over. We had to take his sister to work so we did that and then went to the mall for no reason. To kill time, pretty much. We tried to find the prom dresses but to no avail. I was sad. So instead he bought me a Kelly Clarkson CD which I am totally excited about. I'm not even ashamed to say it. I LIKE KELLY CLARKSON. AND HANSON.

We went to dinner at Joe's Inn and we both got the chicken finger salad. It was really really good, actually. I kind of want another one. Then we went and got lottery tickets because it'd be really sweet to win the lottery. We decided to go get some ice cream so we went to Friendly's. So good. I think I'm addicted to chocolate and ice cream, which is kind of bad. Whatever. After that we came home so he could watch some basketball game and I fell asleep because I guess I suck. And then when he left we got in a fight about... I don't even know. It was stupid and we never resolved it so I guess we'll see what happens today. Super.

(for Captain Jack)

3:48PM - "Cut the crap and get back the damn bear."

Hahahaha. Oh man. Rose said that on Golden Girls and I almost peed myself. But then again, maybe you had to see the episode. Yeah, you did. Nevermind :(.

So. I don't really think it'll be possible to inform you of everything that's happened in the past 2 months of my life. For that I am sorry. I really REALLY would like to start updating regularly again, but I'm just such a procrastinator! I'm always like "Meh. I'll do it tomorrow"... which is dumb of me. So let's see if I can possibly backtrack at all.

I had a really crappy couple of weeks towards the beginning of January. That sucked a lot and I just cried the whole time and it was NOT FUN. Then there was that Alley Katz show, which was fun... minus the second-hand smoke inhalation. Uh, yeah. This is hard. I almost need my planner (NERD!), but I will resist. I think I did nothing, pretty much. Hung out with Dionis. Went out to eat. Went to school a lot. You know how it is. Some day I did this photo shoot with Emily and it was really embarrassing because I was running around in a field right next to 288 with an umbrella... and it was not raining. So I guess I'll post those pictures here, because I think Emily told me to a really long time ago. I don't know if she still wants me to, but I will anyway. It's not really public since no one reads my blurty, so yeah.

Really nerdy, but whatever. Uhh... fast forward? Two Tuesdays ago was Valentine's Day. I got a heart necklace and bracelet. :) Cute. We helped his dad renew his green card which made us late going out to eat. SO, by the time we got to Friday's (where we had our first date LOLZ!) there was an hour and a half wait. GUH. We waited, and thankfully it was only 45 minutes. There was a creepy clown and some child fell backwards out of her seat. Fun stuff. But overall, it was a nice Valentine's Day :).

This past Friday was BandFest. We went to the Dominican barber shop beforehand... and it was really awkward. I was the only female... and I was the only white person. Awesome! It was really strange, but that's okay. Then we went to the mall for a while before going to find somewhere to eat. We went to Uno's and were in and out in literally 30 minutes. And it was packed. And we got an appetizer. How sweet/disgusting are we? So we went to Bandfest and everyone was there. For the most part I hung out with Dionis, Chris, and Mallory. We played some intense... fooseball? FOOZBAWL?! I don't know, but I won once. I saw Sean and Paul which made me really happy. They're still so small and cute :)! Love it. Neighborhood Friendly was awesome as usual. Everyone was there to see them and you could tell. Afterwards all these children were like... asking for autographs and hugs and it was really cute and hilarious. So strange.

Uhhh... don't remember anything interesting from the weekend? I went shopping with my mother and I got a bikini for Florida. Mehhh. I don't know if it was a good idea or not. Never worn a bikini in my life. We'll see if I end up taking it back or not. Blech.

Monday I went to Applebee's with Emily and it was awesome as usual. We just... laughed uncontrollably the whole time and she took really ugly pictures of me to add to her collection of hideous pictures of me. :(. We were so caught up and being lame that we forgot to tip Dionis. I felt bad so I went back and tipped him and apparently he didn't even notice that we hadn't left the tip. Sthuper.

Tuesday was back to school. BOOOO. I don't... really remember anything interesting. Sorry. Today was also boring. I realized today that without Monica I would not be able to survive school. She is SO SO SILLEH and I really do need some form of comic relief to get me through the day. She needs to come to college with me so I can survive that too :P

After school Mahcie came out with me and we jammed in my car for a while. Then she called Josh over and we actually talked ant it wasn't awkward. :). It made me happy. I'm hoping that's a sign that things are getting better and maybe we can be friends and it can be cool. Monica and I were being super-retarded and doing the robot and the train and stuff and he was laughing and said "I forgot about this"... and it was funny. I figured he had forgotten how completely stupid and retarded I can be. Obviously I haven't changed much and I hope he realizes that.

Anyway, so then I took Monica home and she was doing the robot and just... I love her. I really do.

Um, yeah. Now I need to to homework... and update this more often. I'll really really try.

What's up this weekend? NOTHING, and that's totally fine with me :)

9:56PM - sup 2006.

Bsktballgirl01 (9:46:33 PM): whoa begguh
kraziebc87 (9:46:43 PM): wuh?
Bsktballgirl01 (9:46:53 PM): yo blurr needs sum updaitin
kraziebc87 (9:47:17 PM): i know. I sugg.

Man, we're awesome. But besides that... she's right. Sorry about the abandonment, blurty. So far 2006 has pretty much sucked. I would fill you in, but I need to do some other stuff. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not.

I went back and looked at the entries from about a year ago. It's so weird to me. Time has flown by and so much has changed.

Bleh, I'll do more of this later.

(1 kiss | for Captain Jack)

9:41AM - :(.

Yeah, so I failed again. Sorry.

I don't even know what's been going on. I've seen no one over break except for Emily, Andrew Holt, and Dionis. I feel like I have zero friends. All I ever do is play my GameCube and go out with Dionis and sleep and watch random movies. I feel kind of bad because I'm a really horrible friend or something. I don't know :(

And I guess everyone has plans for tonight that I don't know about. Have fun with that.

Maybe I'll have friends again when I go back to school? But I'm really dreading going back to school. I just would like to have friends and not go back to school, that'd be great.

I don't know. Just :(.

(for Captain Jack)

6:36PM - All I want for Christmas is YOOOU!

Oops. Looks like I haven't update for a week again. I'll try my best to remember.

[It's really sad that I actually have to get my planner to help jog my memory on what I did. Very lame.]

Monday: Naturally, I do not remember school. I know that AFTER school I had rehearsal and it was really dumb, I'm sure. I also believe this was the evening that Dionis came over and helped me make cookies. It was cute.

Tuesday: Nothing happened in school. Unfortunately, this was the day of the concert. It was really bad. Poor poor Symphonic Concert band. And we really weren't that great either. Whatever. JACOB MERTZ WAS AWESOME. And I embarrassed myself on stage in front of everyone by freaking out every time Jacob was about to play. Cool, self. Cool. Dionis and my Mom sat together and it made me giggle. After the concert Dionis, Jenelle, Michelle, and I went out to Applebee's for something quick to eat. Tana, Chad, Tiffany, Rick, and Chase ended up showing up too so that was weird. And Ashley Williams was there too and sat right next to us and it was REALLY AWKWARD. :(. Um... so I ate my chicken tenders and laughed about dumb stuff and went home.

Wednesday: Phsyics test? And nothing really after school. I didn't want to go to the Tri-M thing so I just didn't. I probably slept and wrapped presents or something instead. It's all good.

Thursday: This was the day that I went out to Applebee's with Jenelle. I'm seriously at Applebee's ALL THE TIME now. It's a little sad, but that's cool. I had 2 CSIs and my piggy bank money because I'm a high roller like that. So we ate desserts and Dionis and Brian talked to us and it was cool. I guess then... I came home? I don't really remember, which is sad since this was only like 2 days ago. Wait. I think Dionis came over after work and I have no idea what we did. Probably watched TV. Sound about right.

Friday: I got to sleep in and go to school late since I exempted my 2nd period exam. And the rest of the day was pretty pointless. I don't really know why I came in at all, but that's okay. After school Dionis came over and we spend FOREVER trying to decide what we were going to do. Eventually we decided to just to go the mall and look for the rest of his Christmas presents. He saw approximately 2349287 people he knew because he's STHO popular. Guh. We went to a bunch of places and got it done and then we went out to eat at Joe's Inn. I actually prefer Applebee's fried chicken salad. Weird. So we ate a lot and got really bloated and then went to the old people pharmacy for no particular reason. After we came home we wrapped his present and then watched... Homeward Bound. I don't know why, but I cried a lot at the end. I'm such a nerd. Then we watched Nip/Tuck which is a REALLY weird show and he left at some point. It was a nice night.

Today!: Gma and Gdad came over this morning to look at the house. I guess they liked it. We visited for a while and ate cookies and it was nice. After they left I went over to Dionis' house before he had to go to work. He played video games while I just layed there. Then we watched TV. And got on MySpace. We're lame, but it's cool. When I came home I tried to wrap some presents but I got a pounding headache so I took a really long nap. Now... here I am. I don't know what I'm doing tonight, but I really want to play Paper Mario. That is all.

This entry sucked. Sorry.

(for Captain Jack)

11:22AM - From the light that she had wished upon..

I <3 TSO.

Let's backtrack.

Tuesday
Snow daaay! Yay. I got up and did some of my Christmas shopping on Amazon.com. It came out to some obscene amount because shipping costs an arm and a leg. Oh well, Christmas comes but once a year. After Dionee got out of class he came over and... I don't really remember what we did. I think we just watched TV or something until my mom had a client and we had to go out. We ate at Burger King, which has become really gangster. I hadn't had a double cheeseburger in like... 3 years. It was good. So then we went to CVS for a while and waited to see if he was going to have to get called in to work. He didn't!

So we went to his house to check on his money and then went to the mall. Well, actually, first we went to Costco to see if they had anything for a good buy but there wasn't really anything. I really want a huge flat screen TV for the computer room :( It would be awesome for both LotR and video games. I'm an enormous nerd, sorry. So THEN we went to the mall and did his Christmas shopping. I thought we did a pretty good job, money wise. But apparently he's going to go spend more money later, so oh well. When we got home we helped decorate the tree some and then he left.

Wednesday
Um... had to go to school. I don't remember much about the actual school part, so it must not have been that bad. We had band practice, so that was lame. Then I went to the library so I could study for Government and other stuff and it was nice. After that I just... came home and ate stuff and watched the season finale of America's Next Top Model because I'm really lame. I was sad that the white girl won. Oh well.

Thursday
School, once again. Interims started this day, but I don't remember anything interesting happening. 1 test and 2 quizzes, which I hope I didn't fail. After school I went to the library again to do some homework before going over to MAHCIE BAHWAH'S HOUSE! I love her mom. We went out to the Arby's where Patch works and I got a bacon beef and cheddar, which I haven't had in FOREVER. It was good. I think we almost got Patch fired or something, but apparently he's "tight" with his manager. I don't know. We stayed there forever and it was really funny and then we went back to her house and took a bunch of pictures. It was a fun evening.

Friday
I hate Mrs. Brooks. She gave me a B on my interim and wasn't even looking at a grade book. I have an A in that class, so screw you. URGHGHGHG. Umm... the rest of the day was okay. I'm really disappointed in my interim because some how like... all of my grades went down? Well, a lot of them. I guess I'll just try really hard to bring everything back up to A's, even though it doesn't really matter because I already got into college.

After school I had to go to the barn (which was gross), and then I met Dionis at the house. We were going to go out and shop some more... but we just decided to stay in. So we ate soup and wrapped presents and played Family Feud and watched Harry Potter and it was a lovely evening. We're nerds. OH! And I accidentally punched him in the face and busted his lip and made him bleed. I'm such a wonderful girlfriend.

Oh yeah, and this was the night I found out about Tech.

Saturday
Dionee came over for breakfast. Then we played some video games and he took a nap. WE'RE SO FUN. But yeah... he had to go to work and I had to go to Gma and Gdad's for Mom and Aunt Carla's birthday. They have their new tree set up and it looks nice. They have the train and some of the village set up under it, so that made me really happy. They haven't had that in a couple years and I missed it. Moving on to the actually meal: THE STEAK WAS SO GOOD. It was really rare and I loved it. And I ate SO much cake, it was bad. Bad for me, that is. It actually tasted magnificent. Unfortunately I had to leave to go to BAND. GRRR. It was really dumb. I don't like hockey and there weren't enough fights. However, it did make me want to learn how to iceskate. Specifically, figure skate. That would be really awesome. I hung out with Manda, Phillip, Dustin, and Jacob pretty much the whole time, so that was cool. But for the most part... waste of time. There were like 20 people there. Oh, and Jacob told me that apparently Josh like... says stuff about how I suck and still hates me a lot. That's cool. Blah. We got back around 11 and I went home instead of going out because I had zero friends and zero dollars. I played Paper Mario for a long time because I AM A GEEK.

Today!
And as for today... I've done nothing. Here's my to do list:

[ ] Do some homework.
[ ] Make my room Christmas-y.
[ ] Go see Dionis on his break.
[ ] Work on cleaning the house/putting up more decorations.
[ ] Hopefully put on a movie or play Paper Mario. We'll see.

Okaybye.

(5 kisses | for Captain Jack)

12:58PM - Meh.

So... I got into Virginia Tech.

Mixed emotions. Severely mixed.

(for Captain Jack)

12:37AM

SNOW FOR LIIIIIIIIFE!

(2 kisses | for Captain Jack)

11:04PM - Bleh.

Today was okay.

I got to sleep until 10:20 which was fabulous, even though I felt a little guilty for wasting some of the day. Not too guilty. I helped mom with a bunch of decorations before Gma and Gdad came over to see how it looked. Our tree isn't done at all. At this point we have all the lights on and no ornaments. Jeez.

After they left we did some more decorating before going to run some errands. We went to Hallmark to get an ornament and to Food Lion to get some food. I was STARVING today, probably because I had a chip for dinner last night. So we came home and I ate some nachos and discovered that our house smelled like a gas leak? But then I left again and went to the barn. When I got back Gma and Gdad were there and said they didn't smell anying, so yeah. Who knows. After they left Dionis came over and we played Boggle before dinner. And then during dinner we kind of played Boggle. AFTER dinner we played Who Wants to Be a Millionaire because we're really nerdy. I lost, naturally. I'm a moron. He had to run home and watch Dead Zone and here I sit.

This is why I don't update. Because NOTHING HAPPENS.

IT BETTER FREAKING SNOW.

That is all.

(1 kiss | for Captain Jack)

1:14AM - Frustration.

Ugh.

I woke up this morning and showered before Dionis came over for breakfast. I taught him how to play Boggle and then totally OWNED him in it. Yes, I said owned. I hadn't played that game in forever. Breakfast was really yummy: scrambled cheese eggs with ham bits, bacon, and toast. Hooray for eating! Then I had to clean my room and do stuff while Dionis read Harry Potter. How interesting.

THE GAME WAS SO STUPID. What a waste of my life. It was so close and we almost won like a million times. Guh. Whatever.

After the game I went and ran some errands for my mom before going home. We worked on the tree and decorated various other parts of the house as well before the Tech game. Ugh. That game was freaking lame. I don't know what happened to us, but it was bad. I got really frustrated and fell asleep at about the 2nd quarter, and when I woke up the score was still 3-3. That's when things started going downhill. Dionis came over and I was really pissed because we were just spiralling out of control. I'm annoying when I get mad. So I stopped watching and worked on the tree some more. We managed to redeem ourselves a little at the end by getting 2 touchdowns. Final score: 22-27, not us. Whatever. Lame. I'm still loyal, so it's all good. Next year, boys.

So Dionis left and I unfolded some more branches and now I'm here! And it's 1:20 am. Oh, wait.

Happy Birthday, Female Parental Unit!
...and Britni Poulsen, and every other person on the planet!

Everyone was born today. And I'm done.

(1 kiss | for Captain Jack)

11:43PM - necessary.

Today was pretty nice so I thought I'd write about it.

Actually, school kind of sucked a lot, but that's nothing new. I hate it. I don't have the tolerance anymore. ...Yeah. But I do love me some Mahcie Bahwah.

After school I went to the eye doctor, which wasn't bad. Somehow my eyes haven't gotten worse in a whole year! ACCOMPLISHMENT! And they're perfect besides the fact that I'm nearsighted. He was like "You're eyes don't even look like you've ever worn contacts!"... so obviously sleeping in them DOES NOT hurt them. Apparently I have awesome contacts though. Word.

Unfortunately he had to dialate my pupils so I couldn't put my contacts in or take my sunglasses off for the next 2 hours. Mom swapped me over to Dionis in the Burger King parking lot and we went to Lowes to exchange some stuff. Then we went to Target and bought christmas lights and gushers. Healthy. So we went back to his house and put lights on/decorated the tree. I'm really glad I was able to give them that tree. Nadely was really excited about hanging up the ornaments so it was cute because she's 5. I'm glad I could do something for them.

We went out to dinner at Uno's and almost died 3 times on the way. It was crazy. We ate way too much and still got dessert because we figure we'll just grow fat together since we both love eating. So... we ate until we felt like we were going to die and then jogged to the car. Embarrassing.

From there we went over to Commonwealth 20 and saw HP4. It was pretty good, but I still prefer the books. The cheesy parts are just... SO CHEESY. But anyway. I actually was going in and out of consciousness at one point, but that's just because I was full and had been up since 5:30am. So then Dionis dropped me at my car (which was still at BK) and I drove home and came semi-close to hitting a raccoon. Except it was really far in front of me.

And now I'm really tired and pissed about the game tomorrow. So bye.

(1 kiss | for Captain Jack)

7:27PM - Crazy.

Yeah. I know, I know.

I'm going to start with... Tuesday. Sure. That works.

Tuesday:
This was the day that Katherine came home from college. On the way to taking her car to Gma and Gdad's we came across an injured bunny and it was the saddest thing ever. He had been hit by a car but was still alive and sitting in the road and just. Omg. So we had to go home and get Mom and she brought gloves and put him in the leaves. :(. It's a sign from God that I need to be a vet. That was the scary event of that night.

Wednesday:
School was completely pointless and I couldn't stop thinking about the bunny. When I got out I went and picked up Katherine so we could go to lunch at El Paso. Guess who was there! MAHCIE AND MISS BAHWAH! <3333! It was awesome. Except that we had the guy who has a crush on me or something. He knew my order and I definitely haven't had him in a while. Weird. Oh man. And there was this girl from UVA sitting at the table next to us talking about the Tech v. UVA game that I wanted to punch in the face. She was talking about how the UVA kids were turning around to the Tech kids and saying "How many of you scored above a 1300 on your SATs?!" and then the Tech fans wouldn't respond (probably because you're a moron). So then they'd turn to the UVA kids and be like "How many of you scored above a 1500?!" and they'd all cheer? Um... right. I'm sure all you UVA snobs scored perfectly on your SATs. Way to be really pretentious and obnoxious. Ugh. I just hate that. I don't understand why they're so full of themselves. And people who say that they aren't are wrong. I have my sister to vouch for it, and she GOES THERE. Well, she's a grad student there so she doesn't really have loyalty to them, but she's around them all the time. They're really NOT that much smarter than people who go to Tech. Tech is a bigger school so more people are allowed in. I just.. will explode if I talk about it because it's really annoying and I wanted to punch that girl SO MUCH. It was a football game, not a standardized test. We won. You lost. Get over it.

So if you go to UVA, please don't let it go to your head, unless you've already been molded into this mindset. If that's the case, you annoy me.

Moving right along! Then when we were paying a table of Hispanics AND a table of creepy plumber men were like... blatantly staring? Awkward. Just so awkward.

We came home and Dionis came over and we all watched RotK EXTENDED EDITION. Love it so much. It's so unbelievably long. Anyway. Then he left and we went to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra! <3!!! 2nd year in a row and still good. I love them. I ESPECIALLY LOVE "THE WOMAN"! She does opera and it's just really awesome. I was waiting for her the WHOLE SHOW. Anyway. The bass player had really nice hair so Katherine and I got our Aunt to ask him what kind of shampoo he uses after the show. We're weird.

Thursday:
Thanksgiving! I went to WalMart with Dionis and Jasmine to do some shopping. Random. Then we went down to Gma and Gdad's and ate aroud 2:30. Naturally, I ate way too much, but it was fabulous nonetheless. I passed out between dinner and dessert. I always go into coma's on Thanksgiving. It's tradition... and the chemicals in the turkey. UMMM. We came home and I watched some of A Christmas Story until I called Dionis and rescued him from his aunt's house. He came over and we worked on his English for a little while and then watched Finding Nemo. It was a nice evening. Oh, and then I stayed up until 2am playing Paper Mario because I'm really cool.

Friday:
I guess I was in a coma because I couldn't move my body to get up and go shopping really early. Instead I woke up at like.. 10:45 and got ready to go out with Dad. We went to Uno's for lunch and it was good. I got the usual. Then we went to see Chicken Little. Dustin was there, which was random. Not at Chicken Little, but outside the theater. Anyway! I thought the movie was pretty funny. Mad love for Runt. And the little thing with 3 eyes. That is my review of the movie. So then we came home and Dionis came over while we were watching My Fair Lady. It was probably a little girly for him. Katherine left and we decided to just not go out, so we ate ham biscuits and left-over homemade mac and cheese for dinner and watched Hook. We're dumb!

Saturday:
We went to lunch with Dad at Phil's, which I haven't been to in several years. It was good. Then we went to Coldstone which was completely unnecessary and I exploded. When we got home I immediately turned around and went to WalMart where I met up with Dionee so I could see him for 2 seconds before work. OMG THEY HAD EMMET OTTER'S JUGBAND CHRISTMAS ON DVD. Has anyone else in the entire world seen that besides my family? I really don't think so, which made it SO CRAZY that it just happened to be there on DVD. Really. CRAZY. Um.. then we played video games for a long time because we're 12 year old boys. We killed time and just did nothing and went to a jewelry store? Yep. So he went to work and I came home and played MORE Paper Mario because I'm really lame. Nevermind, Paper Mario is really sweet. Then we had to watch the Tech game, which got old when we knew we were going to win. Oh well. Tis the norm when you're a Hokie fan :)

Today
We went to Gma and Gdad's and had breakfast since Katherine was going home today. Then we came home and packed her up and sent her off. I miss Marleh Pewp :(. He's really small and hyperactive and makes the house less dull. I helped Mom decorate for a while and then went to Applebee's to visit Dionis on his break since he works all day. I love Daniel Inman so much. He's so cute. Anyway.. we played with Trivial Pursuit cards and ate and hiked to China Wok and then he was almost late. So I came home and practiced my sax which is SO BROKEN. I'm really upset and don't know what to do about it. Hooray. We went to Taco Bell for dinner on my mother's suggestion... which proves that I really am her daughter. Now I'm bored. And I should probably practice some more. Aren't we having a quiz or something? I just... can't go back to school. I can't do it :(.
