Another Tally on the Chalkboard

Today is December 5, for all you non-calender types. Do you know what happens on December 5? Well I'm not entirely sure, but December 5 was supposed to be the day the video for A Beautiful Lie was released. You don't know what A Beautiful Lie is? You don't know me. But was it released? No. I was sorely disappointed, and called Jared several bad names (right, Kaitlyn?), and blamed the whole ordeal on him. Was it his fault? Probably, but there's no proof of that. It made me feel all better to accuse him, though. Since I didn't have anything NEW to watch, I found the video for Your Guardian Angel by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. While this was new to me, I'm assuming it didn't come out December 5. Here's several snapshots that I would like to elaborate on.

This one appears throughout the video. Ronnie...alone...in a dark hallway...with one, not two, but one light bulb that most definitely needs to be changed because the friggin thing keeps flickering on and off. Now who would want to meet Ronnie in a dark hallway? (Put your hand down, Maddy).

This one here gave me a nice round of giggles. Due to the lack of a microphone, Ronnie decided to sing his little heart out to the lonely light bulb. Good thing he's closing his eyes, otherwise that might burn a bit.

Even though I have a lot of fun making fun of this video, it was very good and I love them all. I'm glad Ronnie doesn't have my hair anymore, though. I also sang to my dog. Today I also watched a lot of Underoath videos. They make me feel very claustrophobic. Just go watch them. You'll understand. Turn down your volume if you don't feel like listening to constant screaming.

Today in English, we watched the video version of The Odyssey. As if reading it wasn't enough. I won't go into any detail, for your sakes. But let me tell you, there were at least three sex scenes...not to mention Hermes.

Countdown to my birthday: 13 days
Number of presents for Melanie under the Jon tree: at least 4

This weekend, I have to both babysit two spastic dogs, and do the paper route. Plus work on my model, which I should start working on now.

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Let Go (Acoustic Cover) - Boys Like Girls

Are You Sure You're Sure? ...Are You?

My sweater guy was wearing his striped zip-up jacket today! Yay! These are the little things (*coughcoughobsessionscoughcough*) that make my freshman year so much more enjoyable. God forbid I'd see the guy even once a day now, though.

Today in Individual Dual Sports, we were supposed to take our long put-off test over Lawn Games and Archery. Guess what we did? Well, I'll go into that in a couple of sentences, but we did not take a test... For the other gym classes in that period, they brought in a professional karate/tae kwan do/self defense/a bunch of other things he rattled off teacher and we got to learn some stuff from him. Well, it was that or spending some quality bonding time with the sweaty, noisy, smelly and just downright hellish weight room. Like I can't already not move any of my appendages from the last two days of pure agony. So back to today's lesson... I sure wouldn't want to meet me in a dark alley around now. I could knock you all down with my butterfly kick. K/O-ed!!! I've pretty much got blocking down and we learned a few fighting techniques as well. I hope I don't have a grudge against any of you people...

In English we watched the video version of the last several chapters of the Odyssey that we read. At least 15 minutes of the movie was spent at this big orgy-fest. Nothing better than a bunch of half-naked (and probably married) men spending a good 5 years with a freakin' witch. Not to mention we were watching this whole thing with MRS. WALLENBERG. Blach. And talk about awkward...

We're going to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight, probably to celebrate my dad's new job change. That's, what, four now? Oh well. This one's at some college, but we'll only have to pay 10% of tuition if I end up going there. Or get forced to go there. Not like I want to get rid of the 'rents and child anyway. Not to mention you people...If only I knew who most of you were.

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Skyway Avenue - We the Kings
I have Rich's scarf for the whole weekend now too! He knows I have it, though. I gave it back this morning as well, but...
