Instantly Win!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Yay...internet! I'm back! I know you all had a horrible interneting experience without me, so I'm here again to relieve you! Not like that! Do the exclamation points make everything I say more exciting?! I think so!! There were TWO on that one!

Well, if you couldn't tell, my internet is fixed and we've also added about 600 channels to one of our TVs...the magic of Midco...So now I'll post something nice for you all. I don't have the time or attention span to update you on my life since May 20th 'til now, so I'll just give you a list for now:
  • I got a job at Camp Leif Ericson and it sucks.
  • Horses suck.
  • I haven't gotten paid yet and it sucks.
  • My mother is keeping a list of everything I buy and I have to pay her back with money I haven't earned yet...and it sucks.
  • I'm about $300 in debt courtesy of the above bullet.
  • It sucks.
  • The Panic At The Disco concert was AMAZING!
  • I can now legally drive by myself between the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
  • Black is the new black.
  • Camp Rock is the typical Disney Channel Original Movie but it has *cringe* made me a kinda-sorta Jonas *cringe* Brothers fan...*cringe*
  • But they're all still ugly.
  • There's a guy who works at camp who's the spitting image of Kevin Jonas...
  • My Powerspace sunglasses came in the mail! I was super excited for them!
  • Today one of my Powerspace sunglasses got stepped on by a horse...and survived.
  • Silly plastic sunglasses are indestructable.
  • I left said Powerspace sunglasses at camp...
  • I got a new DS and Pokemon Diamond.
  • I got a cell phone. Most of you probably know that. So the last month and five days haven't been entirely wasted on Pokemon
Well, that should hold you over until I have something new to say... Until next time...

Title Under Construction

So a lot of weird stuff is happening at school these days. And I'm not just talking about the Teriyaki Chicken Chunks at lunch today... But, I'm not quite sure who or what to believe, so if I'm a little stressed out - you probably know why.

Today in Hellth, we did all diseases and impairments of the female sexual system along with childbirth, and boy, do I not want to have children. Ever. Or use tampons... Wehrkamp ruins EVERYTHING. Not that there's much you can ruin about menstruation.

Would you find it weird if a person my age walked into the library, got one novel and about 15 children's books? Because I thought it was odd, and I didn't have to check myself out. (Not like that...)

The number of times I've almost killed me and other people while driving has drastically increased as of late. Lane changing is a lot harder than it looks, sheesh. And your car shifting to Neutral basically on it's own in the middle of a turn on a busy street is not a good thing either. On Saturday, I started driving with our instructor for the exam. I. Hate. It. I've relayed the whole story several times, and I'm not about to type it up, either. Too much mental pain...

Well, those are my thoughts for today. Piano recital coming up next weekend, and I practiced once this week. I have to give my huge, semester test controversial speech this week, finished it yesterday, and our Oral Interp. presentations and catapault start on the 5th and 6th of May. God, I hope school is almost over. I can't handle these huge projects anymore...

I Should Totally Honk

So, if there's anything more weird than being stared down by your sweater guy while you're alone in the foyer, just minding your own business (or untangling your headphones, not that it matters...), it's seeing a person who's been missing for months on end while trying to DRIVE. But, I remained Slow, Safe and Straight (those are my three S's *wink*), while having a mental explosion. You see, if you haven't caught on, on our way home from piano (I was driving), I would just so happen to see two people walking down the sidewalk, and guess who! It's (nameshallgounmentioned) and Alissa's sweater guy! Lets just say I FREAKED. So, missing a yield side and almost crashing and burning on our driveway, I promptly run into the house (on my feet, not physically with the...never mind.), and call Alissa where I continue to not breathe for a good 10 minutes.

After all that excitement, it's been a pretty good two days otherwise.

P.S. It's "Homegoing" week here at our high school. Lame, right? Tomorrow's plaid/polka dot, closely followed by class color day and formal day. We're, or at least I, am dressing up in a tux-like outfit for formal day. Forget dresses...go Ryan Ross!

I Like The Voice In My Head...

Well, it's been a good week in my life for music. I actually have TWO favorite songs this week. And I don't think you need lyrics and band pictures to enjoy them. So, they are...

- Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape by UnderOATH from their album
They're Only Chasing Safety
-
Between You and I by Every Avenue from their NEW album Shh. Just Go With It

Go check 'em out. You'll probably enjoy them.

So I just got back from driving around...and right turns and yield signs can go jump into the center of the busiest intersection. Another couple tally marks to add to the number of times I've almost killed myself and others while behind the wheel.

Mrs. Wallenberg is officially out to get me. No lie. We (we being Zoey, Rich, Mary, Jake and myself), were standing at my locker, comparing the graffiti on it to Mrs. Wallenberg's room/Satan herself. (It says "hell," by the way, if you don't know me). When over my shoulder, she appears in her sunny yellow sweater and wants to know what we were going to finish that conversation with. Several "uh" and "um"'s in response. When she leaves, we burst out into frightened, nervous giggles.

On top of that, since Zoey was sick today, I waited for my dad to come in a very dark Little Theater with three guys for an hour. Wanna know what we talked about? I'll never tell.
it was pokemon

Poor Forgive Durden. They broke up, ya know?

Fancy Guitar Chugga-Chuggas

Why have I not been posting as of late? The real question is WHY DON'T I HAVE PANIC TICKETS?!? I'm gonna be SOOOOO pissed when they're sold out without a nice seat/floor space for Melanie. Beyond the fact that everyone will be going to two concerts that weekend, I will be alone - possibly not even going to one. At least I'll have Alissa to pout with. Let's all cross our fingers that she'll be able to join the rave in Council Bluffs, minus the electronic dance music and ecstasy. (Well, I could be surprised at what Pretty. Odd. will sound like...or what designer drugs are used in Iowa.)

It's been a pretty good week. I finished my English project and gave the presentation of said English project...AND DIDN'T FAIL! Which is always good. I also didn't have to give a speech or write one this weekend. I had no homework, therefore allowing me to have a social life again. Too bad me and the little satan were home alone all weekend, thus limiting above-mentioned social life. Oh, and she had a child. What does that make me, an aunt? Ick.

I've driven a few times since we last...read. I almost killed me and my mom and the groceries on our driveway. That would be why there's a giant Prius-shaped indentation in our snowbank - going UP the hill. Who put that snow there anyway?

I really need to watch more movies. I'm thinking DVR. Free movies On Demand = hours of entertainment. And they're cheaper than buzzing out to see what's playing locally. Since they're free.

More random thoughts next time...
