"Double"

Why is it that my posts always come ONE ENTRY before a landmark one?

BEHOLD, the 199th post of OMAS!

Whoever posts next, make it good. It's the only 200th post we'll ever have! :P

If you're wondering why I'm all giddy and hyper, it's because the N* Snack Shop has just been restocked! YES! And because of that, I've come to the realization that a pretzel is not a Cheeto. What a revelation. (Don't ask. My thoughts are so random at times.)

I'm bored. I finally can spend my N* time socializing instead of doing physics. (Aren't you proud, Jane? I'm t-a-l-k-i-n-g. Hehe... I only learned from the best! :P) Physics is...physics. Why did it have to become an actual high school course?? My GPA was fine without it.

Since the next six weeks technically begins today (since all the grades for the next six weeks start now), I'm trying to stay upbeat and happy. I need to improve. One six weeks may have passed me by, but I want to go back to being myself. Giddy, J-pop fanatic Sarah. :P No more breakdowns! No more failures! No more Sarah feeling sad!

OOH! Cheetos!

Eurotrip

hello fellow bloggers. i am so bored right now!!!! whee!!! i have no hmwk!!! another whee!!! but i've got two tests on friday:( not so whee...lol. i've had one of the crappiest days today because i totally failed on of my math quizzes and even though i'm not failing, i know i could've done so much better...stupid mistakes sucks!!! but nevertheless, i am so happy for some reason. maybe it's the caffeine...i dunno. so how is everybody? don't even get me started talking bout school cuz school sux. if you ever come to the academy you realize tha even thought the reason you're here is that was one of the most hilarious movies ever..kinda like a road trip movie...but i can't compare because i've never seen roadtrip before. if you don't like stupid movies though..i wouldn't watch it. it's just really funny and pretty pointless. that's how i'm feeling right now. very free and without a care and i just wanna have fun!!! GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!!!

You know what i realized, i've really cared less about grades since i've come here. i mean, it's still in my mind beacuse it's been drilled there, but im' just not like omg!!! a B!!!! maybe it's because back at ln, but getting straight a's was just kinda something to do for fun, but here it's hard sh*3t and they're serious about it. not saying that ln didn't have some hard classes cuz chemistry was hard for me and it sounsd like physics really sux too. i'm so with you sarah. i've already had to have a tutor session just so i survive the class. i would've never thought in a million years that i'd need a tutor but...i'm stupid enough to need one. i'm glad someone feels smart:-d

i'm so bored... and none of you guys are online to talk to:( hm....lets see...what else is there to talk bout... OOO. we got our schoolk pics and jane actually bought some this year!!! so exciting. she had her hair all curled and everyting. since she never blogs i'll just tell y'all for her. she thinks that she looks chubby in the pic but it's just the hair. plus the camera adds ten pounds. guess where this line from: "so how many cameras were on you?!?!" haha...it should be pretty easy if you are a habitual watcher and it's pretty popular. anywayz, i'm actually considering putting lyrics from a song on here...hm...should i or should i not..
ooo!!! how bout i do and then you try to guess who sings it or the song name!!! okey dokey...this should be pretty easy:


who can say for certain
maybe you're still here
i feel you all around me
your memory so clear
deep in the stillness
i can hear you speak
you're still my inspiration
can it be
that you are mine
forever love
and you are watching over me from up above.

fly me up to where you are beyond the distance stars
i wish upon tonight to see you smile
if only for a while to know you're there
a breath away's not far to where you are

I’m gently sleeping
here inside my dream
and isn't faith believing
all power can’t be seen
as my heart holds you
just one beat away
i cherish all you gave me, everyday
cuz you are mine
forever love
watching me from up above

and i believe that angels breathe
and that love will evolve and never leave
fly me up to where you are beyond the distance stars
i wish upon tonite to see you smile
if only for a while to know you're there
a breathe away’s not far to where you are
i know you're there
a breathe away’s not far from to where you are

"Long Time Gone"

I'm failing Physics. Yes, a C+ is failing to me. Still, though, when you leave two open-ended questions blank and guess wildly on three others, and there's only 12 questions total, it doesn't mean anything good.

I can see my report card now: A+ in Etymology, A+ in Chamber Orchestra, A in Honors PreCal, A- in Interdisc (I'm just guessing here...we'll see the actual grade later), and then F in Physics.

I don't need this now.

Mean Girls

been hearing that lotsa people saw that movie this weekend. although i'm not the biggest fan of lindsey lohan...she's a slut...but the mnovie did have it's cute part. she had some really cute outfits too. And that guy...hello!!!! where'd he come from. the movie stars always get all the hot guys even like lindsay lohan...slut...sry if any of you guys like her...but she's going out with a guy that's like 6 yeasr older than her. it's like demi and ashton...except a lil better considerin she's not like old (not dissin' Demi cuz she looks pretty good considering her age so kudos to her, but that does not erase the fact that she is still and forever will be older...a lot older than ashton) and everything and hoping it's just a phase. didya hear about the olsen twin ashley?!?! heard she was going out with some 36 year old guy or something. no one should ever read tabloids. they just rot your brain with stupid and useless information that probably aren't true in the first place. but being the person that i am, i get bored when i'm at meijers and wal mart and they're handy. gotta keep up with my current events, ya know?;-)

anwayz, this weekend just put me an a great weekend. I have no idea why considering I didn't do anything that involved hanging out with friends...but i did get 14 hours of sleep which is usually unheard of these days. it was so nice...sleep makes everything go away...at least for a while. as of right now, it hasn't worn off yet cuz it's 2:3- and i'm still awake typing away. i'm even doing homework that isn't due tomorrow!!! *gasp* yea...well, that won't last for long. hope this week goes better than it did last week although that's probably a little too much to ask. just hope the week will go fast. i think this is the most that i've ever blogged within a week...mwahahaha

"Far Away"

An awesome week ended with an awesome weekend.

Friday night, I was planning to spend the night shift with one of the copy editors. Turns out, I worked with a *former* copy editor who is in charge of designing the City & State section of the Sunday paper. She brought warm, fresh-baked cookies for us to snack on... HEE! I got the chance to sit in on a section meeting about this week's Greg Oden story, meet more influential people, and finally take a tour of the ACTUAL Star building (which I was hoping I'd get). The CCI program that they use to design with is so much more sophisticated than anything we'd use, and I remember thinking every few minutes, "Why don't we have this????" :(

Saturday afternoon, I went shopping at the mall. (GASP!) It's been months since I last went into Forever 21, and I bought a Vuitton-esque purse (I love those...) and a formal dress. (Jane and Evan were fighting over me. Hehe... *cute grin*) Whether I wear it to the Homecoming dance or not, we'll see.

It's strange. For once in my life, I may actually skip a dance because I don't know whether people I know will be there. I managed to go to every middle school after-school mixer and survive without knowing anyone there; I spent two hours wandering at Homecoming last year because everyone bailed on me to go to a pool party. Suddenly, I actually care who goes. (And if one more person comes up to me and says they aren't going unless they have a date, I'm going to slap them. I absolutely HATE that.)

Around ten, I went over to Jane's for our spontaneous - yet planned? - sleepover. It's been a long time comin', hasn't it? Staying up until four, reminiscing and talking... It felt great to get some things off my chest that only Jane and I can talk about. Of course, now I'm just kind of in a low trance, but that's to be expected.

I have Interdisc to do. Night.

"Your imagination's stuck in your crack, honey."

The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of.

Yeah, I know it's not in French or Latin. But I like this quote a lot. I've been so happy this week. It's been so wonderful!
Not much has gone wrong this week which makes me so incredibly happy. I've only forgotten one thing at home too! (That would be my psychsim...whoops! and double whoops! I forgot to turn it in this morning...)
I still have to outline my TOK paper. I got a lot of comments on it, and most were really good questions that got me thinking. I really like that way of peer review. It's really interesting. (What we did was took everything off our desk but our papers with our theses on them. Then we walked around the room and made comments and questions on everyone else's papers.) It made me really happy to see that some people in the class really took the time to read what I wrote. I only had one person not agree with me. By the way, my thesis is that terrorism should not be just limited to violent acts by one country against another but should also include violent acts of people against another in the form of domestic violence.
I also have to write my rough draft of my paper for English. I am kinda interested in what I have to say, but yeah. I also have to finish my IOP on Monday in the library. It's due Wednesday! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
(My IOP is my Individual Oral Presentation for IB. We are required to do one this semester over one of the books we've read. I chose to do mine on the Awakening. I am the first one to go. We have one shot and only one shot. It's also 15% of our English IB score I believe. It's videotaped and sent to IB headquarters when we graduate.)
On Monday Evan and I went to a college thing for Georgetown, Harvard, Penn, and Duke. I like Georgetown. They have a really good International Affairs Program. SO does Princeton, and so I'm going to see the Rep on Wednesday when he comes. I must also add that SOMEONE *Cough*Evan*Cough* got us lost twice that night. Once on our way there and once on the way home. It was so funny though. I had a great time laughing about it.
Wednesday was Youth Group. That was fun. It's especially fun if you're playing a game where you have to guess people's answers but you don't know the people. My first time around, I chose Phil and just said that he said each one ergo, I did get one point.
Ah well. I should be doing my Englsih essay, but I really don't want to. lol.
Alison, I agree so much with you. I hate physics right now, basically because I don't often understand it and it frustrates me. so yeah.
Well, I think that's all.
"Feeling someone up - the new holiday tradition!"

Just a little update

All right, so, I haven't posted in awhile. (As usual.) Let's see...what should I talk about? (I'll probably just give my perspective on things that other people have talked about. Deal.)

The homecoming game was really fun! I barely paid attention to the game freshman year, and I missed it last year because I was in Florida (oh darn), so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I had dinner with Claire (Simmons) and Katherine at Claire's house and then we arrived at LN in time for a little bit of the pregame festivities. (And yes, I was VERY surprised to see Sarah!) I bought a pom-pom to support the choir department, of course. :o) The crowd at Homecoming is always the best crowd at a football game, and we certainly had an exciting game! It was awesome! Of course, we can't forget the "sight gag" king & queen either (Greg Oden and the shortest girl in the court). Just as I predicted. hehe It was a great night.

School has been going pretty well, though I have a lot of homework this weekend. Oh well. I have yet to feel truly overwhelmed/stressed/whatever, so I can't complain. I think I'm managing much better this year.

I have been thinking a lot about college lately, mostly because several people in my youth group are in their first year and they're always talking about how awesome it is. I think wherever I go will be a lot better than high school, so that's exciting, but it's hard to know where I will be accepted (as in actually admitted to the school) and where I will be truly happy and all that. Also, has anyone else noticed HOW MANY colleges there are?? It seems like as soon as I research one, I find out about 10 others. Sheesh!

Sorry my entries are kind of pointless. I post so much in my other journal that I don't really know what to write here, lol.

"Feeling someone up - the new holiday tradition!"

Wimbledon

It is such a cute movie!!!! you guys should all watch it. it's a lil on the chick flick side and ifyou don't like tennis, you can pretty much skip it, but the movie is so cute. plus, i love kirsten dunst and paul bettany(?) so i absolutely loved it. i just realized that every weekend that i come home, i go to the movies. that might sound awesome but the sad thing is that that's all i do. no mall, no calling up friends. life is a bit sad right now. i mean heck, it's a friday night and i'm here typing on blog and talking to ashley bout how we have absolutely nothing to do today. lol, difference being at least she's happy;-)

everyone should hate physics. it is the most evil thing on earth. i got an Academic Progress Report, which they only send to your ANd YOUR PARENTS if you are failing or they think you're going to fail. guess what subject i got one in...yea...PHYSICS SUCKS!!! good thing my parents don't really care though..at least i think so cuz they haven't said anything yet. lol, school here is so sad and depressing. i'm just gonna stop talking bout it cuz then it's gonna make people be depressed and that's just pathetic of me to do. right now i hate all happy people in the world so do'nt let me see you being happy or i'll wanna kick your a$$...no just kiddi'n, although i see a smiling happy person and i'm just like grr.....hopefully next week will be better.

"Feeling someone up - the new holiday tradition!"

"Happy Girl"

I am in SUCH a good mood. Yesterday was great, and today was AMAZINGLY fun!!! :)

I raised 35 bucks in an hour last night for the Interdisc Walk-A-Thon, which added with everyone else's donations for our grand total of almost $3200! YEAH! We met in the Marsh parking lot and walked about a mile one way and came back. (Yes, that's the first time I've exercised in quite a while.) Then the five non-drivers (Jonah, Nathan, Gretchen, Cristian and me) all were driven over to Burger King and dropped off. After eating, we followed Cristian's lead to a Blockbus- I mean, Video Gallery (:P) and checked out the cheap DVD sales. Then we managed to trek the semi-long way back to school, even with Jonah almost getting run over at a major intersection.

Of course, our stuff was in the back of Crousore's car, and so we missed a few minutes of R7 to go out and find his car (a harder task than it seemed, especially with wrong directions - hehe...). Orchestra was awesome, with Beth and I laughing our heads off the entire time. Turns out Beth is from Czechoslovakia. (Don't ask. You won't understand it. It's what happens when you're physically tired and energized at the same time.) Interdisc was awesome, since we had been given a heads-up that the quiz was matching. EASY! Now I'm in N*, of course, preparing for Physics. Ugh. I just have to remember that it's only 25 minutes long today. (It seems so long compared to our wonderful 12-minute periods yesterday. We did absolutely NOTHING in PreCal! YAY! NO HOMEWORK!)

Anyway, tonight = Physics studying. That's about all I'm going to do. I DESPERATELY need an A on my binder and the test!! Night, y'all!

"Feeling someone up - the new holiday tradition!"

On revient toujours à ses premiers amours.

OKay, well my whole post just got deleted I beleive, so I''l rewrite it.
Sarah and I have talked. We're taking a vote:
Evan for Sushi 2004!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!! (Although he doesn't quite know this yet....lol)
If you'd like to see my dear friend Evan as a part of Oh, my aching Sushi! And you are a part of Sushi already, please, leave your vote in a note at the end of this post.
Other news: Not much. Didn't make the show. Ah well. I have so much going on right now that it's not funny. I have a college thing tonight, PEERS ( I still need to do my ap for it.), my psychsim, and my IOP. oh, and my English paper. Ah well. I'll get it done. I'm one of the idiots who forgot to turn in my forms for I-STEP so now I get to sit in the library! Woohoo! (Actually that could be worse. That could be a lot worse. I'm actually going to get work done, which should be nice.)
And yes. I agree with Sarah. I think that in his first post, Evan should explain a little about our new quote:
"Feeling someone up - the new holiday tradition!"

"Power"

WOOHOO! Chocolate + N* + Amaris = happy.

I'm feeling better today. Completely exhausted, yes, but content. Just finished editing a huge stack of N* stories and now have free time. YAY! I should be reading AP, but guess what?! I'm not. (At least, not until tonight.)

Speaking of tonight, I have a lot of stuff to do. Violin lessons, AP reading, PreCal, Key Club stuff, preparing for job shadowing tomorrow... Hmmm.... Fun night for Sarah! (LOOK! When I get tired, I act like Jane! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!)

I dreamt that I had a conversation with Jane similar to the strawberry one that I posted. I also dreamt that I was pregnant. Go figure. (And no snide remarks! You know who you are!)

Evan needs to come and post the story behind the new endquote. (wink, wink)

"Feeling someone up - the new holiday tradition!"

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Bwahahaha! I now have a FRENCH quote! :-D I didn't realize for the longest time that I had a website of French proverbs bookmarked. Whoops!!!
So yeah. Previously this week is Ashley's life....
Not much has happened. She's supposed to be working on her IOP, but she hasn't been. (She'll most likely do that this coming week in the library. We hope.) Depsite Evan's warnings, she also twice stayed up til 11 talking to William. (Yeah, she should really start listening to Evan when he's right.) Otherwise, it's been homework ruling her life.
Well, I didn't go to the homecoming game. Yeah, I didn't really feel that there was a point, and on top of that, I was TIRED. So I spent Friday night, doing homework and sleeping! Yay for doing our TOK essays!!! :-D (Please, someone tell me that they are NOT due next class, i.e. TOMORROW. I so don't want to argue my point right now.)
Saturday, I slept until 3 pm. Technically, I got up for like an hour, but then I went back to sleep. Then Evan called around 3:30 and he came over. When we got bored and saw that Sarah was home, we went over to see her. Then, we took a detour on the way home to see William. Much fun was had. And then, I slept. And now, I am getting ready to go to the store with my mom so that we can have FOOD here. That makes me somewhat happier.
"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

Fast Women

You kno what? People really suck right now. I'm so pissed at just about everybody with two or three friends in exception. I think people need to start pulling their heads out of their *sses and look around and realize that "wow! there are more people in this little world than i realized! gee golly! maybe i should give some consideration to them as well!" It's that wonderful time of the month and people freaking suck. So for now i shall sit and maybe if im lucky someone can piss me off even more and i can kill them... or if im feeling merciful just cruelly torture them. hmm.. the thought makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and i think i feel better already...

"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

"Don't Start Now"

Yesterday started great, got worse, and ended great. :) Couldn't ask for much more since, in reality, none of my days are perfect.

First was Meet You at the Pole. Wonderful turnout. Wonderful weather. Wonderful experience. For once, I walked into Interdisc in high spirits and was somewhat cheery, a drastic change from my usual "I-am-tired-so-don't-talk-to-me" attitude.

Then came the Interdisc test scores. Ugh. Bad. (48 out of 80...Thank goodness for curves!)

Etymology was easy as pie, which made me feel a bit better, and then I managed to finish all but 2 Precal problems in study hall! YAY! Precal itself was neutral, although I did get three people complimenting me on my pink shoes. (Hehe... I'll give Jane three guesses on which ones they are!) Journalism workshops after school, though almost completely review, kept me entertained. (Technically, Kaylan, Beth, Roxana and Jordan kept me entertained, but we'll overlook that.)

Then came the forum. Wow. What to say? 1) The schedules offered to us all suck, in my opinion. 2) Whenever the students spoke, it seemed like the administrators weren't even listening. 3) Some LC sophomore got all cocky and was about to start a fight with Wally Burke (or however it's spelled). I didn't like her. She annoyed me. I can't stand an attitude like that, and judging from Janice's facial expression, neither did she. 4) I didn't get home until 10:00 because of everyone asking the same types of questions and not using the sources in front of them to answer them.

Three hours of statistics and stupid questions. Goodness. The good news is that I rode home with Janice! YAY! My second ride in a car with a teenager! (Kaylan was the first.)

Off to chat with my fellow N*'s! The topic today is turkey legs! WOOHOO!

"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

Diem perdidi

Or I loost the day in English.
Actually, I don't feel as if I lost the day. I think today went very well. I took my precal test again, because I didn't do well in there the first time. In physics, I sat for 1/2 an hour trying to figure out one problem and never did. IN English, our project went really really well, and I got a lot of feedback for my question. YAY! And our teacher loved my visual aid.
After school. I went to speech to find a prose peice, although I never did. :-( That's okay though. Floyd and I colored part of a poster. And I talked to a whole bunch of new speech people.
Then Clyde surprised me by buying me gas and dinner. It was very very yummy and it made me very happy.
Then I went to Youth Group - technically it's small group, but whatever works. I don't really know anyone there, but the people are really nice and they made me feel welcomed. We all either go to LN or LC. OH! And a guy there named Phil, speaks French AND.......




LATIN!
I'm not alone anymore!!!! :-D

Yay! So yeah, then I came home. I've been home roughly an hour. The funny thing is, I didn't come home for 14 hours today. That's sad, isn't it?

Well, I was up until 11 last night talking to William online, so I'm going to go to bed now. See you all soon!


"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano

But lately the quote has not been true. (It says, let's hope that there is s healthy spirit in a healthy body)
Anyways, First off:
Evie: Merci beaucoup! Je l'aime. Beacoup. (Mais tu savais ca, n'est pas?) Je t'aime! Beaucoup! lol
Okay, that was because Evie sent me the coolest thing ever! She gave me a Bescherelle. It's awesome. it conjugates French verbs.
Yesterday, Clyde and I washed my car. It was fun. We fought over the hose, which meant that each of us were soaking, lol. So I borrowed some of his clothes to wear because I was cold and wet. We really did have fun. And I stayed for dinner.
I then came home and talked to people for a couple of hours. (And to those of you, Sarah, Evan, and Jane to be specific: I am so sorry. I really am. It won't happen again.)
So yeah. I didn't wake up until 12 today. Whoops! I needed the sleep though. I haven't been sleeping well this week.
Today, I spent the day doing my English homework. Yahoo. wOOt. Fun. Remind me never again to wait until the last week to read a book. Please. I don't ever want to have to read Chopin in one sitting again. (Don't get me wrong, I like Chopin, but I didn't like having to read 80 pages today.)
Flashback to Wednesday:
Clyde and I go to get gas with Chris in the car.
Steering wheel starts shaking
A lot.
Funny noise and smell appear.
We drive to KinderCare on 82nd and park.
We drop Chris off inside and call Mrs. Moreland to come get us because the tire is completely ruined.
I go to school and call mom and try hard not to cry.
After speech, Evan's dad gives me a ride home and my dad and I change the tire.
FIN.
I now have a cell phone. If you need the number or want the number, IM me and I'll give it to you.
"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

Fight Club

Finally got my dvd back from chris who's had it for about half a year!!! lol, and it's just a great movie. you should all watch it!!! brad pitt has an awesome body and the story is just even more awesomeness!!! i think there's enough awesomes in there.
i was so happy to see all you guys on tuesday!!! tear...i miss hanging out with all you guys. sry i didn't catch you olivia!!! but i pretty much saw all the important teachers. some things just never change. and it's a good thing me and jane didn't check in at the front desk to see if we could have a visitors pass cuz that's what Tyler (Rudd) did and they didn't let him in:( but nonetheless, we didn't get caught and it was so much fun annoying frankum. at the end of the day, we went to his room and he was there with one of his guy friends, and he just rolled his eyes when we went in. of course being a teacher, he had to be nice to us and we teased him by saying, aren't you glad you don't have us for another year? in which he replied, "actually, i'm teaching AP stats which mean i could have another year with you guys if you stayed (eye roll)." haha, so fun messing with him. you could tell from the moment that we set foot in his room that he didn't want to talk to us and just wanted to get us outta there. betcha that right after we left, he started complaining to his guy friend that was just sitting there. mwahaha. aren't we just an evil bunch. :-d
now that i have written, i have broken that evil cycle of just ash and sarah blogging. sry i didn't before, but things have been quite hectic. just to tell you i hate physics, civitas, and american lit. they're evil!!!!

"Angel"

Amarismoon.com has a new look. It's kinda ugly and bad design, but you know what?

I DON'T GIVE A CRAP!

I am in SUCH a bad mood. Ugh... Darn crapping PreCal. Goodness, why'd I have to just sit there? I know better! (Want an explanation? Go read my blog. I don't wanna type stuff all over again...)

I spent all weekend analyzing people. Well, more specifically, people and their relationships with me. I've been thinking too hard about what others' intentions are, trying to figure out what they want, attempting to please them while getting what I want, wondering where we are, asking myself how much longer they can pretend...

I think too much. I need to stop. Night.

"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

"Everything and More"

O.M.G.
There's never been any doubt that Billy Gilman is my favorite artist (yes, he's always going to be higher than Ayu), but just to remind me of the fact that he's my #1 artist obsession and idol, he sang his new single on the MDA Telethon (the association of which, I might add, he's Youth Chairman of. :P Shameless bragging!)

Let's just say I died in the rocking chair and went to HappySarahLand. Never am I happier than when Billy comes out with a new song. He is absolutely amazing with his new, "post-voice change" vocals, and he's still got his comedic personality. Mom wants him as a son-in-law. I told her I had no objections. :P

Speaking of new music, I bought three CD's this past week: The Coors "Summer Sunshine" (In the heat of summer sunshine, I miss you like no one else/ In the heat of summer sunshine, I'll kiss you and nobody needs to know), Malibu Storm's debut CD, and Twelve Girls Band "Eastern Energy" (a group of 12 Chinese girls who use ancient instruments to play Western music, such as Coldplay's "Clocks" - the CD came with a DVD performance in Budokan, Japan, too!!!).

Happy Sarah, especially since I was able to donate 10 bucks to the telethon this year. It was late birthday money from a family friend, and what better things would I have for it? None. Exactly. :)

Off to do precal now while I'm still in a good mood.

"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

Dura lex, sed lex.

Hello all! I am so avoiding my physics homework. And my theory homework. And my PreCal homework. And reading that book for English........Hm. Lots to do today, I guess.
Well, not much is new here.
Let's talk about Saturday! :-D I had a wonderful time Saturday with Evan. I'm not going to go into every little detail, but I will tell you a somewhat funny story. (Funny now, but not at the time.)
Evan and I went to a wedding reception. They were getting ready to throw the bouquet and asked all the single women to come up. I knew no one there and was not about to go up there. There were only like 2 people up there, so the dj started calling people up by name. Evan went up and told the dj my name and that I am single and that I wasn't going to go up. What did they do?
Called me out by name.
So yeah. We also babysat for a little bit. The kid was so cute. She was 8 mo. old and round. Really really round. But CUTE! And boy did she sure like to throw Cherrios! lol.
Yesterday after church I went over to Sarah's for a little bit. I never get to see her anymore, and that makes me sad! So I headed over there and we went to see a movie. Way too happy for my tastes right now, but cute
Ah well. I think that I had better start my homework before it decides to eat me alive! lol.
Jane and Alison- POST PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

OK, OK, I'll post!

Sorry I haven't been posting regularly. I don't have much Internet time now that school has started and I am attempting to have better study habits than last year (read: not spending two hours on the Internet after school before beginning a pile of homework), plus I have at least two other journals to update and I don't often feel like writing the same things three times in a row.

ANYWAY, that said, I really am going to update. haha I went to The House at Glendale last night with some people from Chamber Singers (and saw a few other friends there, too). Three bands performed, and two of them featured people in Chamber. (The third band was Relentless, the one you hear about all the time at LN.) All three bands did an awesome job, and I really got into the music. I was totally buzzed afterwards (well, let me rephrase that. By the time the entire night was over, I was tired, but after the second band I didn't want to stop moving!)!

I love student bands. Since that is something I have just gotten into lately (thanks to Katherine, who took me to my first show at Cathedral to see some friends of hers), I am inspired to make a list of other things I have gotten into that I think everyone should experience at LN:

Homecoming
Home basketball games (and/or games leading up to State)
Choir concerts
The spring musical
Student band concerts

Well, that isn't very long. Oh well. Hopefully a shorter list means you can see more of them! :-D

ps. My 17th birthday is Wednesday!!! (We're having a party in French class!) :-D

"Clyde! Bus! BUS!!!! BUS, CLYDE!!!!!!!!"

"Haru Yo Koi"

This isn't funny. Someone just keyed my car for the second time in less than two months. We don't have a 1000 bucks to just throw around on other people's rages. Goodness...

Argh. My parents keep asking if anyone has it in for me. Heck, how would I know?

The police are coming to check it out. :(

This weekend has been good. And it's only Saturday morning!
So yesterday was much much fun! Probably the best day of this school year so far.
School was......school. In Precal we got our PRP back and Nate and I got 100%. In TOK, we had to present our projects. Yuk. I'm not sure how well ours went considering no one asked any questions. It was kinda creepy. In Latin, I'm haing fun doing things in my own time, working by myself. Also in Latin as I was doing my French homework, I realized that the lady who wrote the article that we read, also wrote my book French or Foe about French culture. In French, we didn't really get around to you know doing much work. :-D We talked about IU honors! That makes me very very very happy. The cost this year is $4700! :-( We leave around June8 or 9 and don't get back until late July! :-D I take my test October 30th!!! Wish me luck when it gets closer to the time!
After class, Evan came to find me and he, Clyde, Sarah, and I went to Plato's Closet. That was a blast!! :-D
After that, I went home and took a nap. :-D Sleep is good!
About an hour and a half or two hours later, Evan came to get me and we went to see Garden State. That was a good movie. Quite enjoyable and funny in parts! :-D I really had a great time.
I love spending time with my friends!!! :-D

"Long Night"

I checked the archives last night, and I realized that the last time anyone posted (besides Ash or me) was Ali, back on August 17th. Am I the only one that sees a problem with that? It makes me feel like I have no life, people! BLOG! :)

Met up with some of the LC Key Clubbers at Panera last night. It went fairly well, I must say. I knew the answers to the questions they asked of me, and my throat was sore afterwards from talking so much in just over an hour. For me, that's a large improvement, and what made it great is that I now have a nice LC Key Club shirt to wear around LN! :P I'm so proud of my "kids." (Compendium peeps (esp. Michael), I met Rachel Bossi in person, but I didn't get a chance to tell her I knew you guys. :( )

Got an 8 out of 9 on my ID Friday paper. Not bad, but I always can improve. (I know, there'll be people posting flaming notes on here because they got a 1 or a 3 - which is what some of my friends got, surprisingly - but I can always blame Olivia for getting a 9! *evil laugh*) It could have been worse - I could NOT have sent it to my Hotmail account and just settled for a zero.

Plans for this weekend:
Going to the Andy Griggs concert tonight. (I got tickets originally for Josh Turner, but he backed out at the last second! *tear*)
Coming back and cleaning/redecorating all night. (If you ever wondered what I do in my spare time...)
Saturday - shopping, sleeping, reading, having (hopefully) a "zen" day :) (Why do I doubt that?)
Sunday - church, blah, blah, blah, JERRY LEWIS TELETHON! (Just like last year, I'm staying up all night to tape Billy's performance(s?) and his co-hosting duties. It's Billy. Yes, I'm obsessed. Get over it.)
Monday - TELETHON! Homework, hopefully doing some stuff with people (Who wants to make plans? I'm up for a day out of the house after watching TV all night!)

"Easy Breezy"

I'm sick. Well, not exactly sick, but my allergies hit me hard this weekend. Good news is that I get to have free time in orchestra! (Mom called in and said I won't have to play next period because I feel lousy.)

More good news! I found a recent Sacto radio interview with Utada Hikaru, and she's releasing her first American album ("Exodus") on October 5th!! PLUS, she and Ayu might possibly have a joint concert in Cali! :) I seriously need to just go out and live in California.

Get this: Utada's first single goes "Easy breezy, I'm Japanese-y!" I'm not joking.

And even more good news: I got a 53 on the Interdisc exam! (It's going to be curved around 55, according to E & C.) I also apparently got an A on my physics exam, since Mr. White called my house to continue his tradition of letting his students who get an A on the first exam know about their "success." :P I thought I had died on both tests, since I hadn't been home the entire weekend before and I couldn't study. Getting A's on them made me extremely happy. :)

FINALLY, "HAPPY AMARIS" HAS RETURNED! I'm off to copy edit some more!
