Well hello friends. So today was rather uneventful, had church. Leviathan and I were a tad loopy in the tech room though. We both needed sleep depseratly. And then sunday school, nice job Leila. I had a good time today. And then I wnet home, and slept for 8 hours. I think I was really tired. But now I'm not, and it's 12:30 oh dear.

While I was sleeping I had a very interesting dream. I drempt that I was outside, (this is after a lot of stuff happened that I can't remember) and there was a crazy thunderstorm coming. There were tornadoes touching down all around Crookston, the sky was deep blue, and it was warm (*tear* I miss warmth). The wierd part was that the tornadoes didn't really scare me much, I didn't even go to my basement, I went outside, and got in my car. I took Ben to the movies, I don't know what one we were seeing. But We met Leviathan there, and we were getting concessions before we got our tickets, which was wierd, and once we got in, the movie was in this conference room, we all sat at a long table with chairs on either side, and it was wierd.

It was kind of interesting, because I've heard from a few wise people (mainly my mother and my aunt from Pittsburgh) that tornadoes in a dream mean that there are changes ahead. So if there were multiple, does that mean that there are a lot of changes coming? And if I was enjoying the storm, and not terribly scared of the tornadoes does that mean that they are good changes? Not really sure.

But I need to go do my pre-calc it's actually do tomorrow. Night Night friends.

Lovely evening to you all. Well technically very early morning. So today was One Act subsections. It went very well. We took second, and EGS took first. So we both adavence to the section competition next weekend. We're not allowed to go to state though, because we'll loose half our cast to dance. Eh, what can you do?

We had a cast party tonight at Leviathan's house, and it was enjoyable. We watched The Devil's Advocate, horrible movie, don't watch it, it's like porn in a horror movie. Blegh. And we also watched Drop Dead Gorgeous. I like that movie alot, but it cna only be watched once in a while, or it gets old. I got aome pictures today too. I hope the ones of the lava lamps turn out, though the yellow lamp was hard to get, as Waite kept tickling me. I'm alot more ticklish than I thought I was, and I have a problem with people touching my neck, which basically means I have problems. I should really get that checked. I'm alos a lot more of a pansy thatn I thought I was, hmm, I don't know.

Oh, fun quotes of the day. We were at McDonalds, and Suzie eats a french frie and goes "these taste like potatoes." And then on the way home from the cast party, Mahinda and I were tlaking about how the snow was gone from the medians, and how that was nice because you were able to see again, and then she goes "Where did they put the snow?" and I told her oh somewhere out of town, a field probably, and she replies "How do they push it that far?" And very Wonder Woman comment. But I need to go to bed. It's nearly 2, and I have church tomorrow. i hope my homeowrk wasn't pressing this weekend, and I hopw there is no Mr. CHS practice tomorrow.

Ok, so technically today is the day we perform the One Act for the judges. C-day if you will. Now I'm obviously nervous, but not as nervous as I was for the performance, becaus eI know we can do this, and I know it can be good. I just don't know if people will be able to hear me. I practiced projecting all the way home. I was talking over my music, and I hope I can do it. I'll feel really bad if we loose points because I'm toon quite. That's why I'm not really a team sports person. I hate the guilt and pressure that go along with team sports, but I love One Act. I'm thinking it's going to end up being my favorite high school memory. I'm amazed at how close the cast has gotten in just a month or so. It's awesome. I *heart* you cast members, and standing ovation starters, and basically every0ne right now. Except the monks that developed pre-calc. I don't *heart* you stupid math monks.

And now for something completely different. I think the theory of spellitivity is in motion again. For those of you who don't know, the theory is that the more information you cram inot your brain the fuller it gets, until something just has to leave. So the first thing for me ot og is spelling, and that left long ago. Now my ability to tell time is struggling. In pre-calc one day I looked at the clock for a good 5 mins and asked "Aden, what time is it?" He asked me if I needed new contacts, but really i could see everything just fine. I just oculdn't comprehend what the time was. Auugh. Anywho, I need to get to bed. I need to be somewhat rested before we perform, and I have a feeling I may be getting sick. Eek, bad timing. But not to fear I took around 1600% of my vitamin c for the day, so hopefully I'm feeling better tomorrow.

Pray for safe travel, no dropped lines, and solid characters.

Ugh. My mom has already started on the Who-are-you-going-with-to-prom thing. I don't know! I don't want to think about it for a while. It's January! Prom is in May. Augh. I already have a plan. When I odn't have a date in late March I'll start to get concerned, and when I don't have one by April I'll start to do something about it. But It's January, give me the last month or so to not worry. I was really enjoying it. Oh, goal, I resolve not to say anything mena aobut people who are close to me in this blog whilst it is prom season this year. I won't have prom committee though, so that will help enormously.

Journal Assignment: Why do celebrities deaths have such an impact on society?

I think celebrities tend to have a bigger impact on society once their dead, because they can be more easily researched, and once someone is dead, you don't feeel bad about devling into their personal life. It becomes history, and society says you have liscnese to know everything aobut them. They also can have no new impact on society, so once you've learned about the impact they've had you know all there is to know about them, and find yourself wanthing to know more. Since they're dead, they can't come out with anything new, so you end up searching deeper for more information, such as when someone published Kurt Kobain's journals. I'm sure that never would have happened had he been alive.

Alrght, so I jsut typed a sentence without typing. Interesting. So our first One Act performance is today. I'm scared out of my something or other. Last night rehearsal went horribly. I forgot lines, Mahinda forgot lines. Suzie didn't even show up. The other scenes were doing better, but I'm so scared. Let's practice.

Well, I guess you did.
I didn't think you did, I didn't feel anything.
I really don't think he felt anything Jay, I don't think he had time. I mean by the time his nerve cells reached his brain, it was already squished. Jay don't feel bad.
He didn't suffer, he didn't feel any pain.
Jay
Look Jay he's totally falt. He died in a heartbeat, like fast, like so fast he didn't have time to swallow, he didn't have time to think about sawllowing. I'm not kidding. By the time the tire reached the front end of him...
It's not your fault, you didn't kill him.
He couldn't make up his mind, you weren't driving recklessly, it's not like you were going 90, you were only going like 30, like maybe 35. You tried to miss him, but he was just going back and forth, back and forth. He was totally indecisive.
You want to bury it, him?
Suzie just cut it! You want to light a candle? I have a candle in my pack. Jay?
He has two lines on his back, like the lines of a highway.
She's not a murderer! Have you ever run over anything before?
I don't think I have.
Suzie shut up!
Eat him? You really do? Jay?

Ok, I have to get to class, but that's what I ahve so far. If I screwed them up, I'm going to cry. You realyl didn't ave to read all that, it was just to help me out. If you did you get a gold star! Love and dropped lines.

I'm awefully bored. I'm in social. We have a research paper due the end of class tomorrow. I finishe dearly today. Sigh. I absolutely despise thsi calss. It's a complete waste of my time, and I am always so insanely bored in it. It wasn't so bad when I had friend sain my class. But now I don't, and it's painfully long. I caught myself lookin got see how much was left befoer the final bell had even rung. Sigh. Four more minutes, Is it sad that I look forward to sitting by myself in the hallway doing math during this class. It's just that painful.
In other news. We have a full dress rehearsal tonight for One Act, we're doing costumes, make up, the whole thing. Anywho, it's time to head back to calss. :P blegh. Have a lovely day.

You know what? I'm getting tired of being so naive. But I also really don't want to know a lot of stuff that would remedy that problem. I'm kind of at a stand still. I just am finding out stuff this year, and I can't believe that I've missed all of this before. Even people I thought I knew semi-well are just blowing me away, oh that's a bad choice of words, amazing me is better. *music begins to play, and you see a silent movie of Manda learning, studying taking test, diagrams are shown, and finally she falls to the floor exhausted*

But really, I was thinkings about it, and if I know this little now. I had better pray that none of my kids are into anything I'd dissaprove of, because I would never know it. They'll be smoking pot, having an orgy in their room, and I knock on the door "Oh nothign mom, just burning insence and playing a game." And I'd never know the difference. Or else I had beter pray my husband will be able to figure it out. Because I'm a senior, and I have no idea about I'm sure more than half of the stuff other seniors do. Do you ever get that feeling like everyone got together, and planned something butdidn't invite you. yeah that's what it's like. It's like there was a seminar while I was gone or something. I don't get how you all know all this stuff. It's kind of like the Mr. CHS practice today, had no idea that was going to happen. Glad people communicate with me. Oh well what can you do.

Anywho, I got back new pictures, I must be off to scan. Love to all.

So Leila and I had a fun idea for our sunday School class in April. We're going to have a worship sunday. Which means Amanda needs to re-learn how to play guitar. But it's probably good for me. I really should practice if I ever want to play for camp. I just got out my guitar, and realized that you should really have callouses to play. I forgot about that, which shows you how long it's been since I've played. Sad. But I have items to attend to. Have a lovely day!

Hola Amigos. So today is Friday. I can't believe this is only the third day of this semester. I am so ready to graduate. I like the majority of my classes, but the 2 1/2 hours right now sucks. I have lunch, with no firends really, then Social with no friends really, then discrete by myself in the hall. Sigh. and so goes the last semester of my highschool career.

So today it's snowing. Again. It's only january, it's going to snow for a lot longer too. Like two more months. What the crap is that? Who actually wants to live here? I'm sorry. I'm being really negative. Tell you what. I'm going to stop right now.

So Rory was telling Aden and I in pre-calc today that there's a plan to go camping this summer in the badlands or somewhere. It sounds like a lot of fun. I'd really like to go. I hope my parents will let me if we go. They've been wierd lately. Empty nest syndrome starting to hit agian I believe. Wonder Woman had the same problem last year. I do enjoy camping, but I've only gone with my family, and that's not as fun as one would imagine. If we were in the badlands we could get some way cool pictures. I'd enjoy it.

Oooo I have most of my costume now for One-Act. It's not half bad. I have a pleated plaid skirt, and a white button up shirt, and shoes from Leila. Huzzah. Though I really need some shorts to go under the skirt. I feel awefully exposed on stage like that. Speaking of one act, who wants to give Suzie rides home from now on. Because I surely don't. She talked the whole way to her house yesterday about the very demographic of my grade that I try to avoid as best I can. Ugh, and evey time I bring her home, I think about all that we heard last year about how Suzie pays you back when you give her a ride home. EEEEW.

Anywho, I have a creativity test to work on. which i'd rather not. But I have nothing left to say, and nothing better to do. Arrivederci.

So today, not the best day I've had, though it did improve istead of getting worse, so that's a plus. So this morning I was on my way to school, got up early, so I had extra time, and I believe my painting is now completed. So I am almost to the highway, and bummer, there's a hidden snow drift that grabs my car, and we did a nice little spin again, not nearly as scary the second time, and got stuck, on the road mind you, in a snow bank. had to call my dad to pull me out this time, was late for Bio (first day of the semester, great start) adn then proceeded to forget to save my work on el computadora and lose it all. Painting was fine, Pre-calc got back my 86% semester grade *droop*, then went to lunch and felt like I was going to be sick the whole, time, sat with Macon and his friends. Though I did find out that our social class may be getting switched to B lunch, so that could drastically brighten my semester. Then "math seminar" aka Discrete was just fine, I got to plot points on a graph! I can do that! English is going to be a good time, I really like my class, and Yearbook will be interesting to say the least. One Act we all struggled, but it was fun nonetheless, and Leviathan came over afterwards and we watched the Brave Little Toaster, shared the drug induced moments (on the writer's part, not ours though you realize) , it was a good time.

I'm now off to do pre-calc up the wazoo, myronic moments, bio, and discrete wahoo? Have a lovely night, oh and I wrote another sotry last night, which needs some fine tuning, but I might post it later tonight.

Mandar's Eventful Day!

Written and co-produced by Mandar herself

I awoke to a beatiful azure sky, and greenery everywhere, and my first thought of course, where the hell am I , this is not where I live. That's when I realized I'd been kidnapped by wood knomes and translocated to Aruba. Now I wasn't opposed to this, as I hate living in Crappsvile, but I am also one of the few sustaining pasty pride memebers and I was not about to give that up for some silly yet dashing wood knomes. I formulated a plan, escaped from their lusterous lair (aka sunny tree house) and hijaked a plane back to the cities. Once there I met this awefully sweet armenian taxi driver, named Hwaninindmenfjejsghcghfsf, who agreed to drive me back to crookston for only 7 billion dollars, and I said alright, as long as he drove at least 800 mph. We travelled back to crookston in a record 20 mins. It was quite the journey, you'd never believe the blurs I saw. I was on time for play practice. I hurried my butt inot town only to find my scheme foiled by crappy weather which canceled the greatly anticipated rehearsal. So I watched Sleeping Beauty and The Brave Little Toaster (which I'm sorry must have been written with the help of acid or some other halucinogenic drug, I mean come on, have you seen the meadow scene?) wondering why I didn't agree to be the sugar making slave of the dashing wood knomes in Aruba forever.

The End

A snow day! First one of the year! The day after my painting is done....hmmm. Well I'm not going to complain, hey it's a snow day!

So I had the crazyiest dream last night, I woke up and looked out the window, and it was raining, and everything was green. (I couldn't figure it out at first, I'm thinking something looks wierd, and it was because everything wasn't white) There were flowers blooming, so I was putting on my playing in the rain clothes, and I ran back out to the front door, and it was a blizzard! It was horrible, I'm pretty sure I about cried. Everything was covered in about 2 feet of snow, and everything was white agian. A rather depressing dream. I miss summer, or even spring, or fall. I was in Gap Body in the cities, and there was this candle there, and it smelled like fresh mowed grass. I smelled it, and was in love with it. I made Wonder Woman smell it too, and she couldn't remember what it smelled like, sadly she'd smelled it only one month prior, it'd been probably three for me. Alright, well I'm off to enjoy my snow day. I think I'll watch some friends, or a movie or something. Love and whiteouts.

I totally forgot to blog the funniest/saddest part of the museum trip! My dad squished the art! There was a "sculprute" or something of the sort made out of soup/jiuce/pringles cans held together with packing tape, and he squished it, thinking it was a joke. I can't believe he didn't get kicked out. It was soo bad. That's when you turn to the perosn next to you, and go who brought him? that's it, thought I should share.

Aaaaah, welcome back...to Hell. I got to venture to the cities this weekend, Wonder Woman was flying out form there, and so we made a weekend of it. Wonder Woman made up a lovely new game, which consists of her tickling my eyelashes while I'm asleep, and then her telling me it was giraffes licking me. After that little game we had a big discussion trying to size giraffe's tongues, and then I couldn't remember how big giraffes even were, I was picturing them like dinosaurs, and then I'm like, that can't be right, and then I was seeing them like horses, and I knew that was wrong. It was a tough brain weekend. We visited the mall, and the Art museum (I had never been to the art museum befoer, but I'll detail that later) And then we saw Wonder Woman off this morning, and headed home, trying to get me back for One-Act rehearsal, and I made the second run-through, so that was good. And then we had Mr.CHS practice, got nothing accomplished because no one would hsut up or get off their phones. But, we did get the sign hung, and we got schedules to the guys who showed up and had either not gotten, or lost them already. So I guess that's a start?

After I came home my mom and I had to have a "talk". It's more listening on my part, but whatever. She thinks I'm getting sick again, which I'm really not, but she thinks I need to be getting more sleep. Lol, no kidding, last week was finals week, but I slept most of the weekend. I feel Happy! I think I'll go for a walk. She always thinks I'm sick, and she thinks I'm anemic (the doctor's have told her that I'm not anemic). Augh, but mother knows best right? :P Anywho...

So I was in the cities this weekend! And I went downtown, everythings great when your downtown, everyone's waiting for you! We went to the art museum! And we read between the lions!! How cool is that? And I saw a Manet, Picasso, the carcass one from Mona Lisa Smile, Georgia O'keefe. And the best part, I got to take pictures! There was this really cool one thought, it was almost surrealistic, but not quite. It was a window, with a canvas set in it, and it appears to have an exact replica of what's outside on it, but then the caption tells about how what's outside the window could actually be completely different, what's on the canvas could be all in the artist's head, or it could be real, and itw as soo awesome, I was out of film by then though, so I didn't get a picture of that one.

I must run, I have a painting to paint. Night night all.

Alright, I'm feeling a little crazy tonight, so bear with me. So hmm, lets start with my crazy afternoon. So school was going fine, pre-calc was alot easier than I expected, and I didn't have to take the painting final, though it didn't sound tough, some how I was exempt even though I still have my materials, and I'm not done, but I'm not complaining. So then after school, I was thinking I can just relax in knowledge bowl right, and then nope crap, I have to make a Mr. CHS poster right now. And so we got started making the poster, and one of the One Act memebers comes up, and asks are you coming to practice? And I'm like practice right now? I thought it was at 7, but okay. And apparently it was a full run-through. So I was quite frazzled. But not to worry, we didn't do horribly. The lights are insanely bright though. I've never been onstage with lights before. But I got my self collected again after that, and I made it home. I just really hope the girls remembered to bring the paint back to Mr.S after they were done, or he's going to be mad at me.

So then I came home, and decidedI needed a nap, so I laid down, and my brother, as soon as I drifted off to sleep decided to shoot his gun right outside my window, for a solid minute. (I hate having red-neck "culture" brought into our house. It makes me city sick) I was not happy with him, so I got up, for a record 20 mins or something and needed more sleep, so this time I woke up to Wonder Woman sticking her finger in my eye. Apparently she was trying to open it to see if I was awake. Silly girl, and I didn't get up when she did that, so she stuck her finger up my nose, and I was sleeping, so I may have hit her in the face. Note to friends, don't stick your finger up Manda's nose while she's sleeping.

And finally, I was trying out my skill at photoshop and I made you all a picture, I hope you enjoy.

Well hello friends. So today started out really poorly. Manda got up late, spilled her paintbrushes all over on the way to her car, got her car stuck in the yard, all within an hour. Then proceeded ot be late to the Student Council meeting, and found out I need to go to the Mr, Chs practices since I'm on executive board. Though that won't be so bad after this week, I should at least have less homeowrk. The day went alright until pre-calc again, always hate pre-calc. But not to worry we just have the final tomorrow. Sorry, I'm complaining again. But moving on. I then came home, and am feeling better now. Broke out the frappuccino, toe shoes and rent. ah bliss.

So we got some bad news today, my grandma fell at my aunts house it was either today or yesterday, and broke her leg. We're not really sure if she broke her lower leg or upper leg, or hip or what, but whatever it is, it's not good. so if you guys would want to pray for her that'd be lovely. I wonder if they'll end up in California longer now? *ponder*

Umm, "Get out of my Woods" is preogressing, and the missing brushes have been located! They were in the snow outside my house. My mom found them while shoveling. Only one slight casualty, but not to worry he got a bandaid. She Has 1/4 her eyelashes, eyeliner, all she needs is hair, and ear and the rest of her nose. Huzzah!

Giles came to KB practice today, and of course ripped us all. 6,6,17. Bah who needs smart people anyway? Well he was handy in searching for brushes around my car when one was located. Thanks for that dear sir. I appreciate it. But I must bes getting back to my homeowrk, if we have school tomorrow I'll need to have studied. Have a lovely night, stay safe, warm and relaxed! Good luck to my fellow pre-calc buddies, but not too good, it is graded on a curve you know.

Hello Blog viewers, I got an extention on my painting! Hurrah! It's technically an incomplete, but I say extension, because I have two weeks to finish now, instead of minus 12 hours or so. Yey. I've decided I'm going to call it "Get out of my woods!" Is it wierd that I pick comical names for my serious paintings? Like the Wheat ended up being "Amber waves of death." And the one-stroke was "17" becaseu I had 17 zones of color!

I also have a pleated plaid skirt for the play now. Mahinda and I went and found some today, and mine is only like 7 sizes too big, but that's what safety pins are for right?

Wonder Woman was provinding quite the show tonight, she got three qoutes within a few mintues. First she comes to me and asked me, again, "Manda, shove oranges in my mouth!" So we did that, and she got 9 slices in. Then she looks at me, and goes "Let's sword fight with our legs!" So we did that, and I am the undefeated champoin, she said I was as good as Domingo Montolla. And then, this is the best one. She comes out of my room form looking for an adventure with a lampshade on her head, and says "Would you like me to shed some light on your activities?" Crazy girl. Anyway, the computer is in high demand tonight, so I must be going. Have a lovely night/day.

So jsut returned from One Act, and a pre-calc study/complain about the stupid class party. I know we didn't et much done tonight, but it felt really good toto comiserate with someone who is struggling like me, and doesn't call me mean things for worrying about my gpa. Today in class I felt like I shoudl be in remedial math again. Just dumb. Ugh, I wish I were good at math, but it's jsut really hard for me, and we seem to move just a tad too fast for me. I think if I had one more dya to struggle a lot of times I'd probably get it, but I haven't gotten that most times, so I am awefully scared for the final. Adn we're done with pre-cacl, because I'm getting depressed.

Speaking of depressed, my painting still isn't done. It's due tomorrow at the end of class. That's a laugh, never going to happen. I'd have to paint her whole face tonight, and her shirt, and i don't even have a neck ot work off of, because Wonder Woman wasn't cooperating. Oh well, I didn't shove oranges in her mouth either, so I guess we're even?

Sooo, still haven't found anyone in my lunch this coming semester except for Marklar, hmmmm. What's a girl to do? Sit by herself in the corner I guess. Ho hum.

Soooo, ummm, I need to paint. Have a lovely night. Good tidings etc...

I just got back from Forga, and Phantom of the Opera was spectacular spectacular! It was sooo good! I'm actaully listening to the soundtrack at the moment. Coolest discovery, on amazon.com as soon as oyu buy a cd you can listen to it online, or at least some cd's. I was way impressed. I want to live in the Opera house so bad. It's incredibly gorgeous, and has caves underneath! Jekyll and Hyde rocks as well, we listened to it on the way down. Mmmmmm musicals!

So after the movie was went to TJMaxx, and we witnessed a guy in progress of picking up a girl shopping there. It was actually really cute, not even sleazy or anything. As I was listening to them, I began wondering if I might be seeing the first meeting of a couoke that will grow old together, and teach they're children to be upstanding citizens etc. Oh if they'll go on one date, decide they don't like each other. Or maybe he'll kidnap her and force her to live in underground caves and sing for him. Who knows and I'm not sure why I just shared that.

I was also thinking, recently I read something about someone accepting Jesus into their life, but only because they wanted to make the person who helped them happy, and I wonder how often that happens. I also wonder if Jesus really comes into your heart then, or if it happens once you've truely accepted him as your savior? Hmm, somethings to puzzle over.

But I have to get going, my paiting awaits, and my pre-calc, and social, blech, and we have Breathe tomorrow, and a Leo Board metting. I kinda don't think I'm making it to the board meeting. Auuugh, stupid school crap. Anywho night night.

Hola friends. Wonder Woman and I planned to leave here about 10:00 today for Forga. Well, it's now 11:25 and I'm blogging. What does that tell you? Oh great, and now Wonder WOman is pissed at me, because we have to drop Garden State off in Crappsville befoer we leave, so we don't give Rory late fees, and that takes a whole 15 mins. Urgh. But we're going nonetheless. Oh ooo! I got Jekyll & Hyde and Anything Goes in the mail today! Hurrah, we now have carride entertainmetn.
I
desperately need a nap, but we have to get sisterly bonding time in before Wonder Woman heads back to college, and it's doing bad things to my school work, and sleep. I have ot get my painting done by teusday, and pretty sure that's no going ot happen. I'm basicaly done with my forest, but I still have a person to make, which takes a long time. *whimper* I hate finals weeks. why can't we end at Christmas like colleges do? it'd be so much more convenient. Instead of Christmas vacation being here try to "relax" while trygin to get caught up in all your classes before finals two weeks after you return. It'd be here relax after your incredibly stressful week of finals, so you're ready for next semester. I'd like that alot better.

So yesterday we went over to Aden's house to visit our infirmed friend. He's just fine. He's on day three of recoving form having his wisodm teeth out, and he can smile, he can laugh, he can eat a bowl of soup in 15 mins, and he can stick his tounge out! Though he did bleed a lot more than I ever did, but he doesn't remember it. So you suck Aden, you and you're rapid healing.

But I must be off. Have a lovely day/evening.

Hola friends. So funny/morbid story. I was showing Leila my housing application in English today right, and I showed her the dorm I'd like to live in, and I told her "I could be living there in 8 months!" so she took my application, and counted up 9 stories, and informed me. "A guy jumped out of that window. Persephone saw his guts on the sidewalk." and in a true Manda Moment I asked " Was he okay?" And you all know the answer to that, because you're a little shaper than manda. Nonetheless, I'm still excited to go.
So I got my background trees done tonight, I have to make big in front trees tomorrow, and hopefully start the face friday? That would be good. Productive even.
I've decided that I really need to watch the brave little toaster again. Thanks to Watson I imdb'd it, and the memorable quotes are really funny. Not somehting I would have gotten as a child, but funny. examples:

The Radio: I think Houdini did this once, and if I remember right, he was out of the hospital in no time.
Lampy: Well, that's reassuring.
----------------------------------------
Lampy: I really thought I'd turned in my warranty that time.
-----------------------------------------
[Air Conditioner's view of the other appliances]
Air Conditioner: The whole bunch of you gotta have a combined wattage of maybe five, maybe less. It's scrap metal time.
------------------------------------
The Radio: Things could be worse you know.
Lampy: How?
The Radio: How what?
Lampy: How could they be worse?

Lampy: Holy Mother of Edison! What were you thinking? You could have broken my bulb!

So I lost the rest of my train of thought, so I'm going to stop typing......now!

Waha! I'm crusing on my trees all of the sudden. I had a mini-epiphany while painting. I currently am the antithesis of Bob Ross, it's like Paint happy trees with Bob Ross, or paint Scary trees with me! Hehe, I like it. But any way...
So I've been thinking all day about college, and I'm so crazily excited! I was filling out my housing application, wich confused me a bit, I'm going to need some help froma current student I think, but I was looking at the dorms, and I'm like I could be living there in like 8 months! Downtown Minneapolis! I was thinking about how good it felt ot be done with like Core Math, and Spanish, and then I'm thinking, you know, when I graduate it's going to feel like 1000 times better, because I'll never have to see those people again if I don't want to. I jsut feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I think about it, now that may also be the caffeine, but we're keeping that on the downlow. I'm just so excited!
Oh and speaking of excited, I'm just so excited for yearbook next semester! *whimper* We have out of the 10 or so incoming people one and a half that have working potential at least as far as I can see. I dont' want to be editor anymore. I wonder if I can resign? I'm just sick of it all, the drama and everything. Why can't we just let a few things slide, and make things easier for everyone? Oh that's right, that's not how our class functions. Sorry, I rant alot on here, it's unkind, I apologize.
But I need to keep painting. I have student council tomorrow, 7:30 at -30 fricken degress, oh only to be 110 degrees warmer. Though I will say good luck to Aden with his wisdom teeth tomorrow, and word to the wise, no matter what they tell you don't try to eat while your mouth is still numb, it just won't turn out well. Love and paint thinner to all, and to all a goodnight!

Bored, annoyed bored again. I don't want to be here, in webpage that is. Or well school in general. Not a fan of a lot of these people, and after my education this vacation, I'm looking at them awefully different now.

So Today is officially the last day of Christmas Vacation, call it a teacher workshop if you please, but eitehr way it's still way too soon. I want a longer break, like I'm supposed to get. I'm jsut getting started, and it's over. Boo this school system. But I shouldn't complain, because alot of other schools didn't even get this much time. I'm sorry, I should shut my mouth now.
So we had play practice again todya, and I've noticed that drama is a touchy club, much more touchy than any other club I've participated in. Not that this is a bad thing, I've jsut noticed. Today we did a Massage circle, which freaked me out, because my shoulders are awefully close to my neck, and we know how Amanda feels about her neck being touched. But I survived. and then we did a trust circle, whic is much less scary than trust falls. We always do trust falls at camp, and the're scary. Down side to tonight, Beth basically said I have to quit gymnastics while I'm working on the play, because we have full cast time on thursdays at 7, and I'm supposed to be in GS at 8. Hmm. I really want to go though, I love my new class, and I really love gymnastics. Boo stupid nightime practices. Why not after school? And end rant, upside to tonight, I think I'm pretty darn close to having my lines memorized. Thank you Wonder Woman for rehearsing with me. I'd struggle otherwise.
I organized (am organizing) my cd's today! It's very exhilerating. Though strange that I'll do this yet neglect to wash clothes, oh well, I still have enough, though I need a painting shirt now, I've ruined too many. But I'm missing some cd's and that disturbs me, like wicked which I bought instead of pirated, missing, Sara Mchlaughlan that I bought, missing, What is the Sound of one Hand Clapping, missing, and I just had the later two a few days ago. Puzzler. Wow, I jsut had another "edit undo" moment. I'm listening to my disc man, and it was loud, so I opened my realplayer and tried ot turn it down, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Anyway, I'm off to bed. School tomorrow *blech* Have a lovely night!

So yesterday Leila and I watched Garden State. A very good movie. especially the end, I'd reccomend it to a friend. So watch it! While we were watching it, one of the guys was lighting something that looked like a bong, but there was liquid in it, and I was musing "Is that like liquid pot? cause that would be wierd." and Leila responded "It's be like green tea." Ah, I'm going to miss my quotable friends. They make life very interesting.
So today I woke up, to go to church, and I am ready to walk out the door, and my dad decides I'm not allowed to wear my shoes, I have to wear boots. So I felt about 6 as I walked to the car in my boots, and of course there was approximately 1 1/2 feet of snow covering the ground between the car and I. *sigh* It's officially winter again. During church I really started to miss Bible Camp, i didn't have a chance to go this summer, and I felt wierd all summer. Bible camp rocks because you get to be outside, and most of the time it's at least warm. Sometiems it's mosquitoy, and sometiems it's rainy, and once in a while it's cold, but none-the-less it's fun. It's one of the only places you can be innocent for more than 20 seconds and no get teased. I always had culture schok leaving camp, you get home from a week of bible parties, chapel, campfire, and turn on the Tv and surprise someone's having sex, or swearing their mouth off. Sadly Camp Minne-wa-kan is closed. *tear* I shall miss thee.


I believe I'm going to be a counselor next summer, then I won't have to spend it here in Crappsville, and Ic an be at camp all summer! Though this summer I'm still too young. Prince of Peace, Blessed Be, If I had a Hammer, Awesome God, and many more I miss you as well.
Alright enough wistfulness, I'm off to paint more scary trees. Seven down, hopefully I can finish two more tonight.

Happy 2005 to all. To quote Lola "We're going to like totally graduate this year!" Though Ironically she's already graduated.
So this year my friends (who are the only people who read this, silly Amanda) thought it would be funny to dub me the group drug dealer, becasue I'm "the innocent one". And I kept telling them whenever they'd bring it up, that I'm really not as innocent as they think I am. But I've been learning so much about people that I never knew, I beginning to think that I'm more innocent thatn even I thought. At the poker party, I didn't get alot of jokes, and everyone else did. I couldn't figure out how they knew all this stuff. It's like orchestra all over again, somehow the kids learned more than twinkle twinkle and Mary had a little lamb, I missed that. And a lot more people than I thought drink. It's like shock after shock. I believe I've been a very sheltered little girl. Oh sad, I'm taking a quiz right now, and it is asking me
In the sack, you tend to:
Finish first
Finish second
Finish third
Don't finish
and I don't think I get it. I'm going to be severly shocked, and probably teased for while once I get to college.
Hey look, I took the Geek Test

The Simple GeekYou answered 52% of the questions as a geek truly would.
You don't seem to sway in either direction, however you still seem to have some latent geek attributes within you. Maybe you're interested in computers but not a gamer? Maybe you've got geek hobbies but none of the awkward social tendencies. You may be slightly geekier than you thought and in denial!
The simple geek usually has various quirks that friends may make fun of, but in general can be considered a fairly normal person. Your geek attributes make you less likely to conform to society. The popular kids don't hate you but the geeks don't either, so it's a respectable demographic.
In a nutshell, you answered enough questions with geek tendencies and enough questions without geek tendencies that it's difficult to pinpoint your exact alignment.

I lost my blogging steam, so more later.
*heart*
