Another day, another politcal debate. Ugh, I'm so so so sick of politics. Let's just have the election and stop talking about it! In social today, we talked about what Bush and Kerry think about some of the bigger issues, gay marriage the war etc. Mr.S wanted us to decide which side we'd be on, and I tied, because I sided with Kerry on gay marriage, and education, and with Bush on the war, and abortion, and couldn't decide on the death penalty. I think for the purpose of the assignemtn I might side with Kerry, so I can have a good group. Then we watched a video on what it means to be a liberal or conservative. And it confirmed what Leila and I concluded a dew months ago, I'm a liberal Republican. And I concluded that liberals tend to take a pro-actice approach to problems, while conservatives are more reactive. I was talking to my mom about this, and she asked me what I sided with Kerry, on (my parents are very conservative republicans) and I told her, and she then proceded to tell me why I was wrong. So much for free speech. Oh, and then I wasn't listening attentively enough, so she got pissed, and walked off in a huff. Can you say hormones?
In other news, yesterday was the fall student council summit, I had written a post regarding that, but my blog appears to have gottne hungry, and eaten it. What can oyu do? Basically the summit was an overdose of politics, but I did get to have lunch with Vabner, it was good to talk to him. The bus ride was rough though, we discussed politics some more, and eugh, it was way too much, and every one was just cruel to one another. It probably would have been alot of fun, except I don't have friends in student council. They encouraged me ot run so they didn't have to. But, I can cope.
Back to the homework. Damn the wheat.

Well, to sum up this post in a few words I'll give you a quote from yearbook today,"I hate this school". I don't understand why we have to be so mean to each other. Today Ann had to collect the votes for which style jersey we want for our senior jerseys, and she picked a cool alternative to the few we always choose from (football, hockey, baseball ect.) she picked out rugby. I think that it's really cute, because it's very different from what people always do in or school, and we could have a crest, and look like english people. But noooo, our grade starts yeling at Ann, because that would be dumb, and look wierd. Sound familiar? Poor girl had people saying that she would probably change the vote totals to make rugby win, and this was one of her "friends". She's never had ridicul like this before, and I was talking to her after school, and she's like, I don't get it, why is it such a big deal? But you know if we were to change the size of the senior picture sin teh eyarbook it would be like committing one of the mortal sins.
I also don't understand what the point of coming to school is, if when you leave you get less homework than you would have had, had you been there? I asked my teachers today what I needed to do t make up being gone tomorrow, and they're like well we're oging to do this, but you don't have to make it up. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind not making things up, but if it's not important enough for us to make up, whya re we learning it in the first place? What a waste of time. Well, I'm off to the Chior festival. Ciao.

I think my brain is farther gone than I had orignially presumed. I came on MSN and read "boo sinus infections" and thought I was reading french. And I can't talk, and I said hi to someone on MSN then walked away. You know, I was going to do my homework tonight, but I'm thinking that could be really bad. Those darn ACT's will get you everytime. I really hope I do better this time, I don't want to have wasted another saturday to only end up with a 27, it's not a horrible score, but it's not stellar either.
I had a crazy dream during my nap today, and it was (okay this is going to sound really wierd, but I'm going to say it anyway) a really thick dream. For some reason, I think of dreams as thick and thin as opposed to vivid and foggy. How it works in my head it that the thin dreams are like wispy clouds, and when they hit your brain they just disintegrate, but the thick ones are too dense to go right through your brain, so they get stuck, and you remember them. If that makes any sense. So anyway, the dream I had, Wonder Woman had come home, and the rest of us were just fighting with each other, and we wouldn't stop. She found this very amusing, because she got to leave. Then Mahinda came over to wish me a happy birthday (don't know why cause it's not even close to my birthday) and as this was happening in my dream Mahinda actualy called me, and I was really confused as to why she was calling when she was already here. But now I get it. Okay, that's all for now.

Hooray for an exciting friend full weekend. I have like five more friends this weekend than usual. Yey! Though, I'm relaizing how socially out of shape I am. I'm not used to having this many people to play with. I think I'm burning out on social endeavors. Yet, I'm off to a poker night tonight, and church and Sunday School tomorrow, and then right back to school. Craziness.
Man, I had to work at a wedding today, but yesterday was the rehearsal, and I forgot about it. I got a call 15 mins after I was supposed to be there, asking if I was still coming, and I'm thinking *explitive* I can't believe I forgot. Then I get there, and can't get the DVD to play on the screen, it would play on the TV screen, but not out front, and I was freaking out, so I called Eric, and he came in, since he was on his way home from work and helped me fix it. Apparently you have ot have the VCR on for everything to work. Who would have known? (The wedding coordinator game me some pretty evil looks though). But today it went well. I don't believe I screwed anything up. Yey, and I made money.
I really want to know how Leila did at her audition in Buffalo. She auditioned yesterday morning, but Mahinda and I can't find anyone who knows how she did. Augh. I can't imagine how crazy Leila must have been going before she found out. Well, For now I'm out.

Hoorah! I had friends tonight! Disney movie night. And we might have friends at lunch tomorrow. I think we might have to comvince Lola to come have lunch with us on Monday too. That'd be so much fun. It's wierd though I'm not used to having this many friends anymore. But Christmas vacation there will once again be friends. Even Wonder Woman will be home. Yey.
I had a dream while I was napping that Leila came home crying, so I think everyone should pray for her tomorrow. (I got confused, her audition is tomorrow not today) While you're at it, you can feel free to pray for my pre-calc test too. It's going ok, but I'm still nervous. I don't really have anything of value to say, so I'm going to leave you with the quote of the dya, by our very own Mahinda. (in reference to the mad hatter while watching Alice in Wonderland) His hat says 10/6 and that reduces.

I appologize for the absence of postage lately, but my computer has been ill. It's on the mend now, and least I hope it is.
So Thursday Mahinda and I went and were "good citizens" and cleaned for Adopt-a-Highway. It was an interesting study in Highway practices. I found 13 beer cans, 2 beer bottles, 1 bottle someone had used to relieve themselves in, and one bumper. Among countless other things. So What I learned from my commmunity service experience. People around this area are quite gross, Mountain Dew and Pepsi are the soft drinks of choice, and I will never drive on that part of the highway agian, because I will be hit by a drunk driver. Later that day, Mahinda , Rory and I went to the woods, and took pictures again. It was tons of fun. I re-discovered the spot we called "The Sandbar" when we were little. It's like a mini-beach on the river. What a fun place to hang out. I was dissapointed though, I tried to do a double exposure, and it didn't come close to working out. Sigh, I guess I'll save that for another day.
Friday Mahinda, Rory and I went to see the Forgotten, which I thought looked very good from the previews, 1984 esque even. It sure isn't. All I wanted was a good government conspiracy. But I won't spoil the ending in case you actually did want to see it. I also got my first three signatures on my back pack. Hoorah.
Yesterday was a bore.
Today Sunday school was awesome. It was Leila's lesson, so I go to relax. So in opening, the leader asked us, What is the last book of the Bible? And a little boy behind us yelled, INDEX! It was great. Then in class, one of the boys was looking for a sticker, and one of the girls goes it's on your kneee. He said what? She: it's on your knee. Your knee. Two other girls join in. Knee Knee Knee KNEE! And All I could think was: We demand a shrubbery? Leila was thining along the Monty Python track too. That made my day. Then tonight we had Breathe. Pratice was exceptionally stressfull, We just got a new computer in the tech room, and were switching to it, and none of the stuff was loaded right, and some of it wasn't working, and to make it more stressful, we only had a one hour practice scheduled, and four new songs. But somehow, as always we pulled it off.
And now we're up to speed. And I almost forgot to mention, Steve Cours is now my favorite politician, simply because of this quote on Meet the Press today. "I think now we mainly need to be worried about Iran and North Dakota, err North Korea." He's a real person! Hoorah!

I changed my template all by myself! Who's proud? Me! Mahinda oyu should be too, you didn't have to fix it for me. Hoorah.
So who want's to hear about my poopy day? Too bad I'm going to post it anyway. I'm inbetter spirits now that I've had a nap, but it still wasn't a good day. So it started off with my mom accusing me of losing her medical insurance card. I've never touched her insurance card, it's reminiscent of me spilling the fish sticks all over the freezer while she was digging in it. So then I get to school, and still don't understand my pre-calc, after school I am walking out to my car (I don't wash my car very often, because living on a gravel road there's really not much point) and someone had the urge to draw big penis's all over it. And to make it even better, I had to drive it to my babysitting job before I could wash it. Stupid immature crappsville people.
Alright, venting is done. So I realized that Alot of the music I listen to reminds me of my friends. So I thought I'd tell you what reminds me of who.
Leila: Beatles, Bye Bye Blackbird
Mahinda: Indogo Gilrs, Rent
Lola: Rent, Sha Sha
Giles: Damien Rice, Eric Satie
Uma: Jeckyll and Hyde, Pippin
Aden: Third Eye Blind, Techno
Abner: Office Space Sound Bytes
Paco: Anything 90's
Wonder Woman: Evanescence, Vocal Technique
Vanber: Dave Mathews Band, Counting Crows

Ok, that's it. Have a wonderful evening. Sorry, this post struggled.

Another episode of the school news show aired today, and it really struggled. All the audio was off, so it looked like a foreign film. They did a segment on the ALC, which is illegal, because they identified ALC students, which your really not supposed to do , because that can cause law suites. They did a segment on "What is a Mudpuppy." And a segment on well I already forgot the last one. There was also a senior video preview, which was definitly the highlight of the show. Abner was on it with his advice to seniors. "It's not worth it, drop out now." I miss you Abner, with all your helpful hints, actually I miss all of you departed seniors, well now freshmen. But I'm gonna do the same thing now, I've made friends with a junior, Rory. So I would like to appologize in advance for leaving.
Can someone please tell why I came to school today. First hour, did nothing, this hour, doing onthing, next hour seeing a mobile art gallery (could do that on my own), and I don't know what i'm doing the rest of the dya, but I'm pretty sure that it won't be much. I hate having my time wasted. It makes me angry. Good news though. I hin i finished my painting. but i really need to stop looking at it, because I keep finding things wrong with it. and I need to stop.
oh, and I think my pre-calc grade will be coming up soon. I currently have a 56%, but I re-took the test that I bombed, and I think I did better, I felt like I knew better what I was doing. Okay, but now I feel much smarter. Some one in my web page just asked for help finding row 1, column 3 in their table. They didn't know wat rows or coumsn were. But i'm sure not going to feel smart on saurdya, when I get to look stupid on TV. We have the high school challenge deal. And our team is struggling this year. We lost our three best players this year. Giles, we need you! We didn't know the capitol of dermark. It's copenhaugen people! Augh, and none of he underclassmen can buzz at all. And we lost our history guru, and we struggle on gramar, our coach is the only one who knows gramar. Sigh. Maybe i can add to my knowledge bowl ribbons collection this year, add to the 5th and 10th place. We realy need the question, spell phenolphthalene. I can do that! I might to go on awaymeets this year though, that's kind of exciting.
Hey, idea! Leila is having people sign her pants, over the year this year(she has one pir of pants, it's not like they're signing the ones she's wearing. And since we don't really sign yearbooks this year, i wanted to do something similar, so I think I'm going to try to find a light colored backpack for people to sign for me. I'm pretty darn excited. People will have to sign small though. cause back packs aren't that big. I need to stop writing now, because this is a really long post, that really doesn't say much. I'm sorry that i just wasted about 5 mintues of your time. Please forgive me.
