ITS FUCKING DONE! Thank Gaia. I am so happy, even though I'm sleep deprived as hell and my parents are fighting and I'm broke.
Songs of the day that have made me happy:
I Will Survive - Cake
Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Event
Lover I Don't Have to Love - Bright Eyes
A Perfect Sonnet - Bright Eyes
Daniel - Bat For Lashes
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
Lost! - Coldplay
Violet Hill - Coldplay
Southside - Gwen Stefani and Moby
Aaaaaah I feel so free. Even though I have to work in an hour, and don't foresee getting any rest whatsoever until my tooth surgery on june 2nd :P
That's only ten days away, haha.
I entirely remind myself of this Alanis Morisette verse from her song Hand in my Pocket:
"I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby"
Gah :) |

Today began like all days when I wake up before ten am do; badly. My cell phone alarm incorperated itself into my dream in the form of an actual alarm clock that refused to shut off. It was the kind with a cd player on top and it continued to ring even after I'd unplugged it, opened it up and taken the cd out. It was 'What is Love' by Hadaway, which is something I should look into changing. Having that song make a recurring appearance in my dreams is getting old. Just yesterday I dreamt that it was reverberating throughout this cathedral I just happened to be in.
My throat felt (and still feels) as if I have a golfball stuck down one side of it and my right ear is not much better. Swallowing is not easy and neither is yawning. Despite all of this, I decided that I ought to go to school, seeing as how I'd missed two days already and we were supposed to be starting Hamlet in College Comp.
So, with twenty minutes to spare, I got up and got dressed, had a cup of coffee and left.
After checking my phone I noted that Geoff had called at 3am and left a message, thus recounted; "Hi, you're probably not going to get this until the morning or maybe the afternoon, but I feel really bad about not paying attention to you earlier. I'm not a morning person especially when I don't wake up next to you. I'll call tomorrow and be attentive." then there was a pause and a sheepish "I love you." It sounded rehearsed, like he was reading lines, like maybe he'd gone over it a couple of times before making the call. A thought that simultaneously pissed me off and made me swoon.
Upon arrival to school I noticed that in the rush to get out the door I had completely forgotten my bag at home; a bad move if I was actually supposed to make it through the day. So mom and I turned around and she mentioned that it was a sign that I should have taken the knockoff dayquil medicine. I mentioned in response that I was going to be late to class and that she should come in with me and get them to give me a pass, so as to avoid me having a tardy on my record. She agreed on the condition that I take some medicine and eat a piece of bread to go along with it. So I did, and it was awful. Swallowing is a bitch. And on top of that, they said that I wasn't late enough to even need a pass and that I'd have to take a tardy.
I spent the entirety of first hour taking notes on the biography of William Shakespeare, a man whose very depressing life was revealed in his plays. I picked up Hamlet, went to newspaper and did research on hickman bands and local shows, asked people questions about what they like to eat (the resounding answer being "BACON!") and then spent an hour in study hall doodling and being bored.
Dustin and the girl who suddenly sits behind me passed notes all hour, which was annoying at the very least. At one point he turned to me and asked "You hate us, don't you?"
I simply shook my head at him and smiled slightly, recounting the note passing days of AP World, and all the middle people who had to help out, whether they wanted to or not, and how grateful I'd been to them. It's funny how things work out like that, I'm pretty sure it was karma.
I'm now in my fourth hour Newspaper Independent study, and should probably be researching local music stuff, but I thought I'd give this whole story telling how my day went thing a try. I've decided the purpose to keeping a journal is to be able to look back on it later and remember, rather than posting random poetry and sobbing requiems and looking back on it later and trying to figure out what the hell was going on. |

So I've been fucking around with the idea of making each lj post like a newspaper, layout wise. Sortof. So I'd have a news brief on something short like:
What to do tonight!
Tonight I can either go to A: OBAMA! or B: ROCKY HORROR! and it is a ver very tough desicion. On the one hand, Obama is yay. On the other, ROCKY FUCKING HORROR! shit. I can go to RHPS next year, assuming I'm still in the state. Obama may never come around again but what if he doesn't become president? Then it's pointless. Ugh, I dont know. Maybe I'll stay home. My aunt Janie is coming in tonight from Colorado anyway. And I need to get these pants to Care.
and then I'd have a feature story maybe, except I'm lazy and don't feel like having one today. So I'll skip ahead to the column:
Top three song pics of the day!
1. Hurt - Nine Inch Nails
2. Underground - Kimya Dawson
3. You're Gonna Go Far, Kid - The Offspring |

Okay so my schedule this year is going to be hell
so I've decided that dropping a few things would be a great idea
for instance, and although I thought this class would be amazing, top on my list of droppage is Write to Publish. A. because I haven't done anything at all towards the assignment and summer's halfway over. B. Because I know for a fact that it's going to be hard as hell on top of AP calc and AP psych and I'm lazy and since I'm going to be working this year, yeah.
So my classes are these:
Write to Publish
AP Calc AB
Accounting
Newspaper
AP Psychology
A'Capella
College Composition
The non-negotiable ones are Calc, Accounting, Newspaper, Choir
The rest are things I probably have to have, for instance a social studies credit is required I think and she wouldn't let me sneak by without an academic writing credit >.<
honestly this wouldn't be an issue if she'd let me not take that but nooo my counselor has to be mean and make me a well rounded individual
Anyways, thoughts, you guys?
Besides, Cat said Stover was a bad fucking idea, and I am inclined to believe her, I like my grades being somewhat presentable, and I'm going to try and not have to work that much this year (maybe I shouldn't take psych?) |

EEEEEEEEEEEK.
Me interviewing Sra. Barrenechea = THE BEST IDEA IN THE WORLD EVAR. She's amazing and has some amazing stories about Peron and the revolution. GYAR. I am so happy right now, I could burst. I have a real story, a great one. I'm all....WOW. ^_^
This weekend was fantastic!
Friday night Megan, Julia and the boys came over and we had pizzzaaa and then Care came over and we studied for the ACT
saturday I got up at 5:30 and met Sarina, Ally, Lexie, Erin, Kathleen and Matt at Ernie's and then me and Ally and Erin went to Rockbridge to take the ACT. After that I took Ally to Hickman and then went home and watched a few romance movies and then went to the Amnesty thing with Care and saw William play and flirted with a few people and poked a few people and laughed alot and then went home coz Care was sick and needed to be in bed, which was fine coz I didn't really wanna stay anyways :P
And then I did laundry!
And then Sunday morning me and William wandered around forever looking for a good cup of coffee and finally found one at the Artisan which opened at noon.
And then we went and watched a movie called Normal Adolescent Behavior which was actually pretty good, it put adolescence into perspective for me.
And then when I got home Bree was in town so we went to McDonalds and got fooods and were in a slight hail-storm where I was like 'OMG WE'RE GOING HOME NOW' and Bree was like '...why? there's no shelter for your car there, let's go eat.' and I was all '...fine.' So yeah! And then we went to Brittany's dorm and hung out and went to Peace Park where Bree dropped her celly in the water on accident. And it sucked but it survived somehow. And um....yeah. There was a filling up the car with gas incident ... where I overestimated the amount of money I had and mom had to come bail me out. But uh...it was my first time ever filling up the car on my own...so she was kinda proud of me... a little. :P
I fail XD
So I'm in a really good mood,
except 3 hours of AP next.
I'm in journalism right now, by the way. ZOMG WE HAVE A SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING JOURNALISM PEN AND ITS AMAZING AND BLUE AND WHITE AND WE WRITE NOTES WITH IT AND MARK THINGS UP WITH IT AND ITS AMAZING. I mentioned that, I think.
Oh well, Yay life!
