Hello Friends. My foul mood is no more. I had an awesome weekend, and I'm ready for another week. Last night Paco, Leviathan, and Aden came over for a "Disney movie night". We ended up watching Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. Lol, what can you do? Now Aden and Paco were being strange, and since I denied Aden Frappuccino he stole one and they left. But that's fine, then Paco had to deal with him caffinated, sorry Paco. After that Leviathan tried to help me fix my keyboard which I may have spilled some tea and water in. We got pretty close, but it didn't end up fully functional. Then we tried to figure out my negative scanner, couldn't get that either. And then played Chess, which Manda struggled at. But then we watched Friends, and that worked very well.

Today we had church, and that went well, and then for Sunday School one of the 7th grade classes taught all the 3rd graders, so I didn't have to do a lesson, but they got done really early, so we went back to our room, and drew on the board for a while. I've decided I really like similies. I made up a new on in Sunday School today. God is like an army of octopi, because he can do everything at once. Similies rock. Oh my gosh, and we got our spring teaching materials, and we're never even going to make it to those. We jsut started winter a few weeks ago. How do people go through this many? Baffles me.

I think that's all, I had some crazy dreams during my nap, but I can't remember them. I just know they weren't normal. Oh, one was another car dream where I coulnd't stop, I hate those. I think I'm slightly aprehensive about my driving abilities some days. Well I'm done now for real. Have a lovely night.

Today was a rather uneventful day, long but uneventful. Odd, I'm hearing phantom msn calls. I must be going crazy. Today in knowledge bowl Mr. Eff mocked me. It was crazy. He mocked me for saying "We so have pens and paper already." And I didn't mean in how he thought, I meant we had more than we needed long ago. Sigh.

We also had the first read through of a Midsummer Night's dream today. It was interesting. I understand that Shakespeare is hard to read extemporarily, but it was painful. I think it caused me physical pain. Probably because I really like Shakespeare, and especially this play, but people got every other, or even more words wrong every time they read. And these people have big roles. It was kind of depressing for those of us with 5-6 line parts. And get this, I'm supposed to sing lol. Oh dear. Some people will be great though, and I'm really happy with our fairy group. They rock, all of them. Much like my script, I got the packet. Do you know how big a Midsummer Night's Dream is in packet form? It's impressive. I was reading for an absent Puck, and it was sad because I got to read the way cool monologue at the end but they had me skip the middle and just do the firts and last two lines. I need to stop complaining about this, it should be fun, and I feel like a sucky person for being not super happy with all the casting, and very haughty. I'm a drama virgin, I don't think I have the rights or experience to complain. So I'm going to stop.

But I have to study for my painting test. I've hardly gotten to paint all week. Just a few minutes today. It was depressing, I thought I was done with my trees (I stippled dang near a square foot) he then told me how to fix the trees, and all of the other background elements that are wrong. Sigh I have a long weekend of painting ahead of me. I don't want to stipple any more. I'm just really whiny and pouty tonight, so I'm going to stop typing. I'm annoying myself. I apologize.

I should really be sleeping, but I feel like blogging. Teehee. Crap, I lost my train of though already. Maybe it went to Memphis. (sorry that was a joke only Wonder Woman will get, and it's not even all that funny unless you're really tired.) Oh, back on track. I don't really have to be functional today anyway. Crap I mean tomorrow. I don't have school, we have a student council summit, which I'm not sure why I signed up, because I didn't enjoy the last one, stupid manda. Well, it could be fun if the other Manda goes. I'll get to see Vabner though, that'll be fun.

So today was exciting. We had a really dull school day, and then we had tryouts for a Midsummer Night's dream. Yey, they were lots of fun. I really hope I make it, I don't even really care what role I get, I just want to do shakespeare. I love this play. It just rocks. But coolest thing ever, we got to do forward rolls, cartwheels and handstands as part of the tryout! I was so excited. I had to quit gymnastics for Drama, so it was nice to be able to have it reincoorporated. Lol, I don't think that sentence is ever remotely grammatically correct, but you get my drift right? Good. We got our One-Act shirts too. Props to the awesome designers. They look wonderful. I really like the colors, and the car.

So Leviathan came over tonight because his drier is broken, and he needed to wash clothes, so we were watching Friends waiting for them to finish, and then of course gave them the obligatory 20-30 mins for cool time right. And we realized it was almost one. Lol which is why I'm so loopy. So in closing, it was a good day. And I'm now dreading tomorrow less. Good luck to all that tried out, I'm super nervous to see the cast list.

Hola. Today was a rather low key day. Slept in. I had quite a few crazy dreams last night. I only remember a couple, the first one I had a historectomy. Bad memories of The Devil's Advocate. It was really strange. The wierdest part was that I didn't have an inscision, or pain. But I knew I'd had surgery. Another one I was a new counselor at camp, and I found out that a few counselors before me had drowned in the shower. Explain that one to me. Hmm, there was one more, but it's slipped my mind for the present.

All I did today was paint. Well I also dusted my book shelves. Lol go me. But last night I had an epiphany, and figured out how to get twice as close with my camera. I was so pumped. Llama llama duck. I played with it a bunch last night, and a bunch more today. A gummy bear fills about half of the frame. It's so much fun. Yey for my camera. I saw a really funny comment on someone else's deviantart account today, it was talking about how if you have a camera like what mine is it's not only handy for taking pictures, but for beating off would-be camera thieves. Yey for solid metal cameras. You know, that could be why my film wasn't damaged going through the x-ray thing at the airport this summer.

Well, I have nothing else remotely interesting to talk about, but wish us luck at Midsummer Night's Dream tryouts tomorrow, and I wish all the tryouters luck.

Hola Mi Amigos. So I believe that is the extent of my remaing spanish. And that makes me sad, because I like languages, and our language department struggles more than Math and English combined. (Just so you appreciate this, people in my Senior English class couldn't figure out what nouns and verbs were, *whimper*.)

Any way, so last night was another poker night. Mahinda and I decided that we can't go unless we're sure there will be another female present. There can be far too much testosterone in the room at points. Claudia was there last night too. I don't know if she realized what she was getting herself into. She looked like she was having a good time reguardless. There was the usual lightsaber fighting, weight throwing, Aden injuring. And they decided that I needed to watch this one part of Euro Trip, and I'm not completely naive, I at least knew what the movie was about, and that I didn't want to watch it. The dialogue wasn't a problem though, so I just shieled my eyes. Hooray for opaque hands. Then afterwards, I was driving Leviathan back to his car, and he asked me to prom. Hooray for him. Now the pestering by my parents can stop, and no having to worry about it late April. Yey for Leviathan.

Today we had church, really struggled in the tech room today. Can't even blame it on the equipment. It was all user error. Sigh. Sunday School was fun though, no gummy bears, so they were relatively civil, and Leila had a wonderful lesson for us. Props to Leila I enjoyed it. I even have a badge certifying me as a courage officer now. (We learned about Ester today) Yey. I'm going to go paint. I don't have any more big block color to work on, but I do have grass and trees and little rocks. And I'll leave you with a Science joke.

Archimedes, Pascal, and Newton are playing hide-and-seek.
Archimedes covers his eyes and starts counting.
Pascal looks around and hides behind a bush.
Newton grabs a stick and scrapes a one meter by one meter square in the dirt and stands in it. Otherwise he does not hide at all.
Archimedes opens his eyes and looks around.
Of course, he immediately sees Newton and calls "I see Newton"
Newton calmly says "But hang on, one Newton in a square meter is a Pascal!

Ok, now your job is to leave me a comment rating this joke's nerdiness on a scale form 1-17, 17 being the nerdiest.

Hola friends. day two of our five day weekend. Yesterday was a good day. Short compared to most of my days. But good. I got up late, and then I painted for a few hours. My sky is now done except for the pheonix. I then cleaned which was actually rather enjoyable since my brother and father are currently in California, and therefore it stayed clean until Mahinda and Leviathan arrived. We played Out of Context for a while, fun game, but only for a certain amount of time. Then we talked for a while, and decided to watch a Midsummer Night's Dream. And Mahinda promptly fell asleep, though she is definitly allowed to, she hasn't gotten to sleep very much in the past week or so, and she's been sick, and once the movie was over we all fell asleep, unitl about 1:30 oops and they both went home.

I fell asleep on the couch after that, and had a crazy cool dream. I worked at the theater, and I was the person in charge of starting the movies. They could run by themselves, but I just had to start them, and put on the next one when they were done. So I put one on, and was heading outside to this place wich I don't really know what is was. it was like it was in the country, and on the beach and inside all at the same time. Leviathan was out there too, and we sat down together behind a window like thing, (I'm not sure what is was, because if we were inside a window would make sense, but it this was outside it doesn't make much sense at all. It was a pane of glass for sure) and on the otherside of this pane of glass was the ocean, and we watched it wash up against the glass for a while. I have a lot of dreams where I watch the ocean from behind glass. And I'd love to do it for real sometime. It's so cool, I can always see all the stuff in the water, it's like seeing a piece of the ocean. I miss the ocean a lot. It smelles so good, and it's so pretty, sigh love goes out to the ocean. I'm going into my summer withdrawls. Time for a plant in Manda's room I think. I'll bring Harold back, yey he still isn't in his pot, project for sometime. Ok, I'm rambling now. I'm going to stop typing befoer I bore you all to death.

Props to anyone who read all of this and is not yet bored.
Love to all.

So today I am happy. Not even just contented, happy. This is quite a feat for me in Feb. I'd like to thank my way cool friends for making this possible.

want to be happy too? K, check out this e-card. It makes me laugh. http://www.hallmark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10051&storeId=10001&productId=548861&CatIDsList=-2%3B-102001%3B11444%3B-102130&step=&tabOn=products&rank=P1R1SO

So, today is Tuesday Feb. 15th. I feel kind of out of sorts today. I'm not sure why. This happened sometimes last spring too. I don't feel real today. I noticed in art today that I do something wierd when I talk about society. I wirte/talk about it as if I'm not a part of it. I wrote down "society craves, cosumes and produces idealism." when on the board Mr. S had written "We craves, we consume, and we produce idealism." Is that odd? Most likely.

I'd like to take this time to welcome back the dancers, and say I missed you guys. I missed having friends who possed levels of estrogen more in tune with mine. Now, I love my guy friends, I really do. But I've just had a lot of testosterone the past few days. Yey for an equilibrium.

Exciting news! The sping play is going to be A Midsummer Night's Dream. How cool is that? That's soo soo cool. I'm way excited. Kind of aprehensive though. It is Shakespeare, if we had trouble with tranquility..... But it will be fun, and there are 20 roles available. So that makes me feel a little better. Few lines would be a-okay with me. Shakespeare has to be difficult to memorize.

So today I spent 10 consecutive hours in the school. It wasn't as bad as it oculd have been though. And it's no where near my record (I believe that's near 15). That last two kind sucked though. I had to "sell" yearbooks to the parents coming for parent teacher conferences. Well, didn't sell a one, though I did read two plays, and wrote a couple pages in my journal. I got really bored and described the sunset (which I could see out the doors) for about 3/4 of a page. Well, I'm off. KB tomorrow, so my long weekend begins kind of early? It works for me. Have a lovely evening.

So recap, today was nuts. Three Church services, one practice, and sunday school. The first two services went well. Minor technical gliches that didn't actually cause problems. Sunday School was insane. It could have something to do with the pound of gummy bears that my three kids ingested. They got exponentially louder as class progressed. Oh man, exponentially, I've been doing too much math. And for proof, (Ahg proof!) Leviathan and I were listening to the sermon today, and Pastor M had a few equations for how people came to be, and we took, combined and simplified the equations, and came up with:
[(Abraham+Sarah)+Rebeka]+Rachel or Leah=Bilah & Zilpah
Way way too much math this semester. But, on to Breathe practice, I get there, and Erik informs me that things aren't working correctly. I was supposed to run the comptuer today for breathe, Erik had to leave during pratice for a meeting, and yeah it didn't go all that well. The back projector wouldn't switch to video, so the worship leaders didn't know the words to the first song, computer worked though, so the rest of the songs worked. But then the cameras were struggling, they wouldn't focus, the middle camera was extremely blue for some reason, we couldn't lighten or darken them, and the damn cross was in the way again. I do believe the equipment may have been possesed. Time to call in an exorsist? And on top off all of this, our table looks like it's about ready to collapse, there's actually a tape stuck under one of the boards that is bowing right now, and I'm afraid that that's all that's holding four tv's two dvd players and a VCR up. Augh. Stressful tech day.
On the plus side, I got my car washed today, and there were five cars in front of me, so I made it to Exodus in my bible, and of course it rained once I got home, but you know what that means? It's warm enough to rain instead of snow, so I don't care if my car is going to be dirty. It's warm enough to rain! I haven't bitten my nails since tuesday! Love to All.

Ah, a lovely day, it was warmer, though still chilly. I had awesome dreams last night about summer. There was one where Leviathan and I were looking for someone's house out in the country, and came upon this road (much like the one where I go walking a few miles from my house) and we didn't actually go walking on it, because it was really muddy, but there was no snow, and it was warm. The dreams may have had something to do with watching Life as a House last night, that's set in LA I think, and it looked soooo nice. It was so nice this morning though, I slept in, I haven't slept in for maybe a month. It felt darn good. Though I'm not terribly tired right now. Not so good. And I got most of my homework done too. Except for social, and I didn't work on discrete, but I wasn't moving too slow, so it might be okay. Leviathan came over this evening too, and we watched most of the Two Towers extended version. It's awefully long though, and it was almost 11, so he had to go home. Oh, and I also got an acceptance letter from the honors program at the U, so yey, all I need now is my housing, and I'm set. Though a scholarship wouldn't hurt.

So tomorrow is going to be a busy day, We have church, I'm teaching Sunday School by myself. We're having a dramatic re-enactment of Jonah, playing "the game", and finishing our song. Yey. I should probably print a color sheet too. I don't think that'll hold us the whole time, or we could just play a game. They like games. But then there's Breathe too, and I have to run the computer, since Erik isn't going to be there. Firghtening, I haven't run the computer in a while. We do have a practice before hand to help though. Good for that. I should go to bed soon though. have a lovely night friends!

Ps. My dad went to Sam's club today, and bought frappuccino, yey for frappuccino!

Hello All. So tonight I went over to Leviathan's and we watched movies, played grand theft auto (terrible terrible game, my children will not play it) it's rather amuzing to run around places, or steal a car though. But I feel really bad when I run over pedestrians, some of them even crunch, that's not cool. And apparently the police can shoot you while you're in the river. I didn't know that. Just a little FYI for you.

So ponderings of the day. Why must people of this area be so homophobic? I hate it. In english today, someone said somehting, I can't even remember what it was, but it was derogatory in that way, and I told them that that was not cool and that he should at least try not to be homophobic. He couldn't understand why this would bother me, as I'm not gay, but you know I have some good friends who are. I know they wouldn't appreciate it. This stupid town. I hate living here, you know I don't think the weather would really even bother me that much, if it weren't for the kind of people who live here. They're so closed minded. Yes, I realize homophobia is a sin, but it's no different than adultery, gluttonty, or materialism. Those things run rampant in America, yet there are hardly as many rude comments made at these people. Ugh, I should stop complaining, but honestly what's wrong with people? Ok, well the nyquil is coming, so I'm going to stop posting before it hits, or I'll never make it to my bed.

Love and cough syrup

Alright, some one please explain this to me. We get the paper today (it comes a day late by the way, because we live 4 miles out of town). Front page news. The auto parts store is getting new letters for their sign. You go back to page 8 of 11 "North Korea admits to nukes, and refuses to disarm." What the crap is wrong with our paper? Now it's just me, but wouldn't you say that nuclear weapons are a little more important that signs? Of course I supposed that all depends on your priorities now doesn't it?

Ugh, we're so small townish it hurts. Buagh.

Well Hello. Today was an interesting day. We had knowledge bowl in TRF, we actually ribboned this time too. Granted EGS and a few other teams were not present, but still it felt good. Blue got 3rd, and Gold got 4th, we were one point apart. I belive I caught whatever is going around though. It was fine until we were ready to go, and I was having trouble breathing, and felt like I was going to faint, but about half way down the hallway I started feeling better. It was really wierd. I've heard people saying this is the flu. That's really too bad, because the flu usually sucks, and I don't want to suck. Thought now is the perfect time to suck, because I have nothing big for at least the next week. So if I have to be sick, now is that time to do it.

Ok, my brain is muddled right now. I'm going to go before I confuse you all. Love and shallow breaths.

Hello Friends. So tomorrow is the beginning of Lent. I thought about it, and was trying to decide what to give up this year. A lot of times this doesn't last long. But I came up with a good one. I'm going ot give up biting my nails. It'll be really hard, so if you see my biting my nails slap me or tell me I'm making God angry or something. Thanks. I should really gibe up saying like also, but that was my revised New Year's resolution.

So today I decided I have a new philosophy, or just relaized my philosophy perhaps. I decided it's okay if 'I expect things to be not good because then at the end of the day instead of being depressed because things didn't happen that I wanted to happen I can be excited, because the day went better than I had anticipated. Take today for example. If you read my post yesterday, I wasn'te xcpecting today to go well at all. But I had a pretty good day considering. Bio test was not too bad, though Aden turned my English journal in to Mr. G because I fell asleep, and he was bored or something. Didn't appreciated that. But then, Art was interesting, we got informationa bout contests, and then did our art topic discussion for the week. I'm thinking aobut submitting something to contest, but I'm not sure what yet, maybe be a painting, maybe a photo maybe both. Then Pre-calc, so far so good on our 2-day test. Social was actually interesting, my mind was almost challenged, discrete test going well, even drew a picture, english reading, I like reading, and yearbook got a few things done, but mostly calming Mr. Eff's nerves with meetings.

I'm feeling like I shoudl paint, because I brought my painting home tonight for that very purpose. I like painting, I think well when I'm painting, though that may be the turpentine talking. I'd suggest it to everyone. So your assigment for the week is to paint something, anything. A sign, a pice of paper, ever painting a solid color feels good, each other, whatever. It'll be good for you, I promise. Love to all.

Good evening. How is eveyone this evening? I'm very well. It was an alright day. School was paintful as always. Ugh, tomorrow is not going to be fun. Bio-test, painting-lecture, pre-calc-test, social-mock trial stuff, discrete-test, english-discussion, and yearbook is never terribly difficult. But 5 of my seven classes are going to suck. And two math tests in one day. Eeew.

School today was boring as always. I actualy left when it was over though, I didn't really know what to do with myself. I was gone before maybe half of the other people even. It's been a long time since I've had nothing after school. But not to worry, tomorrow I have knowledge Bowl again, but that's cool, I enjoy kb. This evening was rather enjoyable. Leviathan came over, and we played mario cart, I actually won one race, watched Faulty Towers, and playe dmy new retro board game "Out of Context". A way cool quote game from 1985. There are some good one,s like "Winter is mother nature's way of saying, up yours." Yey, but I have least squares formulas to memorize. Pray for my pre-calc grade. And have a lovely evening/day.

Hola, So I decided that people need to use the smiley face emoticons more. It was in Vabner's name when I was talking to him earlier todya, and people jsut keep using it today, and it's making me happy. Yey for the smiley face emoticon.

Today was One-Act sections. It went alright. We got 4th place. EGS took 2nd, after a tie breaker for first, Bummer, I wanted them to win. I know I for one had no energy today. It didn't help that we were last to go, and had been relaxing all day. I'm still jello-ish. Which is probably why I'm talking in such abreviated sentences. Wow, those are pretty short. Any who. I lost my steam. This is going to be a short post. Oh! I was going to post pictures. Ok, I'll do that since I have to words.


Watching Leviathan play Monopoly


Dean, toothpaste somes melted


See no Evil, Speak no Evil, Hear no Evil


cast party


No exactly sure what's going on here, but cute nonetheless. Yeah that's right Aden, cute.


Real make up/ costume room. craziness.


Vabner putting on his lipstick.

That's all for now. I'm tired, and leaving.

Hola. So yesterday, Paco, Aden, Leviathan and I went to RENT. We met Lola, Giles and others there. It was lovely. The live show is so much better than just the cds. We had the best seats too. Row FF, the very last row in the whole place. And you all should be very proud of me. We thought we were going to be late, so I drove 80mph on the interstate. Don't tell my mom. But we got there so on time we were early! It was great. And One Song Glory was amazing. Mmmm soo good. Mmmmm musicals. I didn't cry again. Though it was nice to be sitting only with boys, so that I didn't feel bad about not crying. Lola I love you, but i'll never be able to see RENT with you. Maybe the movie. We'll see. It was cool though, some of the spot lights were directly overhead, so we could hear all the tech commands, and they were real commands, instead of "push the button to your right, nope a little further, oh backa little. there you go." It was "ready spot 2, cue spot1." crazy real commands.

The ride home was exciting. We ate at Burger King before we left, since we parked illegally in their parking lot, and Aden had had caffeine, and Leviathan was just crazy. But then of course everyone fell asleep about 20 mins out of town, so I ended up driving all the way to Great Spoons to exit the interstate, as I couldn't remember which exit to take. It was really funny though, as we were getting off in Great Spoons Aden started groaning and moving around in the back, and at about the same time Leviathan (who was sleeping on my shoulder) started thrashing about. I was having a really hard time not laughing.

Now, because of this little expedition, my Mom thinks that I am not getting enough sleep, and am anemic, and need to take 10billion vitamins everyday. Urgh, I wish she had someone else to mother for a while. Wonder Woman, I definitly know how you were feeling last year. According to her, I can never be a doctor if I don't take iron. My little brother will never make it out of Crapsville if he doesn't improve his handwriting, and if I leave my window open during a thunderstorm I will be struck by lightening. Motherly wisdom right there. Ok I'm done ranting, but I have to vent somewhere, or it's awefully hard to be civil.

I got my pictures back from One-Act sectinos today, and from the Evening of one acts. I was very excited. I'll be posting them when I can. But I must be off.

To close on a hppy note. I'm 62% loser, and I don't care.

Hello All, have you ever picked something up and missed, grabbing your finger instead? that's a really odd feeling. Speaking of odd feelings. My mid back fell asleep today in english. How wierd is that?

So I decided this afternoon that I think Heaven will smell like fresh but grass, by the ocean, and laundry detergent. Mmmm that'd be the best combination of smells. I think there is definlty an ocean in Heaven, and I think it's summer all the time. I wonder if heaven isn't different for everyone. My brother loves winter, and I don't think he'd be happy if it were summer all the time, and I know I wouldn't be happy if it were winter all the time, so do you think for each of us it will be different. Or maybe there are different parts of heaven, there's a winter part, and an ocean part, a mountian part, etc. Hmmm. I'm awefully curious. Though I'm not yet ready to go, that's for sure. I'd love to see the world first. I wonder what my Hell would be like? It'd probably involve factoring, failing classes, and toturing innocent things. And of course someone would be constantly grabbing my neck.

That's about all for tonight. Rent is tomorrow, I'm crazy excited. But it's going ot be an insane day. 7:30 student council, KB at 8:15, back by 3:45, be late for play practice, and if we go through it twice probably leave right from practice for Fargo. Auugh. Oh well, it's all stuff I enjoy, well except student council, and being late. But I must go, and sleep sometime tonight.

(This is an attempt to generate commetns, k ready..) What do you think your heaven/hell would be like?
