Today is Emily's birthday. Visit her and send her birthday wishes!! I command you!!!
If you don't, I will beat you up. Though, I don't know who all you are, so really I couldn't do that, but still!!
On an entirely different tangent . . . I am extremely angry. I found out today that the Superintendent of my school district resigned. There has been something of a money scandal involving his former secretary. However, she was let go, and is paying the money back to the district. Our local newspaper decided that they needed to take matters into their own hands. They began writing editorials every few weeks since the announcement. Basically they've been attacking the Superintendent, causing him to "fall on his sword" eventually, as one School Board Member put it. I have worked very closely with the school district, the Assistant Superintendent even wrote me a rec. letter for college! I am very pissed that our little newspaper blew it out of proportion so much. So I am composing an article for my school's underground newspaper, FRICH. When I finish it, I'll post it here for you guys to read.
On yet another tangent, there are reports that school will be closed tomorrow, one news station has it on their website. I really really hope so, cause that will allow me to go to the library and do the research I need to do for my editorial.

I got home from work at 7:45 only to discover that my mom had been sent a progress report informing her that I have an F in chem. I had no idea that my grade was that bad, and I managed to convince her that it wasn't a big deal, that we didn't have that many grades yet, and I hadn't turned in a few things. Actually, that is all true. I'm actually feeling pretty icky and tired, so maybe I'll go to bed soon. Ha. Dina and I forgot to relay this story to the world. We were going back to her house to pic up some stuff during lunch, and she completely missed the turn to her own house. Those of you who know, we have this thing about every Dina story ending with "And then I went home." Well this particular story ends with "And then I didn't go home." That isn't really as funny in print as it is in real life, and if you don't get it, well then you're not meant to. So there! I've been listening to Alanis all day, and I'm loving the CD more and more. I had a nice conversation with Jill today about how much I'm going to miss her and everyone else. All this stuff came up suddenly because of the poster of Madison that my parents put up in the dining room. I just look at it and get all happy about the future and sad about leaving. I don't know what I'm going to do without my friends and co-workers. Probably die. If I get to speak at that national conference, Jill would come out to see me, which would be nice. After two months of college, I'll really be missing them, and seeing Jill, even for a few days, would be so cool. That is if I get to do it. I really really really really want to, it would be such a great opportunity, and I love speaking about assets. I want to give the speech I've been writing in my head, even if it's not at a national conference. Just goes to show how cool I really am. :) Tomorrow is Emily's birthday. I command you all to wish her a happy birthday, she will finally be 18!! Oh yeah, and today is Jackie's 18th, but she doesn't have a website, so you can't visit her. Just send happy birthday vibes.

Tonight, I went to Target and got the new Alanis CD, on the day it came out. I felt really cool. Plus, it was on sale for 11.88, so that made me happy. As soon as I got to my car, I opened it up and popped it into my CD player and called Jen. She is my Alanis buddy, the only other person I know who appreciates her as much as I do. Anyway, the CD is great, you all must buy it!! I didn't really do any homework tonight, but I did watch a bit of TV. Then I went to bed at 9:30, as my mom randomly requested me to. I obviously couldn't sleep, so I laid in bed reading Lord of the Flies. After an hour I got up to update. Woo. Today at work I began jotting down ideas for the national conference thingy. Jill needed it to write the nomination letter. Then Dina called me after her hair cut, and I commanded her to come to my office so I could take pictures with our digital camera. Isn't she cute? I went to German today for the first time in over a week, yay! I had an interesting conversation with the less annoying Jon about what kind of prom dress I want. He seemed to be very interested for no particular reason. We both have girlfriends, so it's not that. Hmmmm.
2-25-02
I had something interesting to say . . . really, I swear. Maybe it will come to me. I was 20 minutes late to class this morning, but I couldn't have cared less. I spent the rest of class trying not to fall asleep. And then I got to go bomb a psych test, and try not to fall asleep the rest of the period. I had a nice big lunch at Wendy's, and had to sit through an hour and a half of calculus. Yup, you guessed it, I almost fell asleep then too. I didn't really do a whole lot of work today. I sorta worked on the website, but I've lost the excitement I had last week. That is exactly why I couldn't be a web designer, I can't keep working on a website, I just get frustrated. Then Brenda and I made almost 40 phone calls in about 30 minutes. We rule!! I got home at 6:30, and ate and did some work--ooh! I just remembered my interesting thing!-- and right in the middle of my German "homework" the phone rings. Here comes my interesting thing, you ready? I answer the phone: "Hello?" To which the other person responds, "Hi." It's a male voice that I don't recognize, and I kinda paused waiting for them to follow up that greeting with "This is . . . " Nope. So I say "hey" again, just to have something fill the silence. The other person responds with "hey" in a more familiar matter. I decide that we could go on like this all night, so I say, "Who is this?" Finally I get some sort of response, to let me know that this isn't a computer. "Who is this?" "Smartass!" I think, but I say, "You called me . . . " Click. That's what I thought. Anyway, stuff like this makes me realize that I am sort of a bitch, cause I said all of this in a snotty tone. Oh well, what do they expect calling me like that??? Anyway, that was my interesting thing for the day. Hope you enjoyed it.

Watching the Olympics, the true irony of the situation came home to me. The Mormon capital of the world hosting the Olympics. If you don't know, the Olympics started in ancient Greece, where a bunch of homosexual men ran around naked competing, and then had sex with young boys. We are just finishing celebrating that fine tradition in the Mormon capital of the world, Salt Lake City. That amuses me greatly. My only accomplishment today was shaving my legs for the first time in a few weeks. I enjoyed seeing Bon Jovi perform in the closing ceremony tonight, especially after watching him every week on Ally. I was just watching Friends, I think it was "The one where Ross can't name all the States" (they actually have names like that), and was reminded yet again why I love Joey so much. Two classic Joey quotes from that episode: "When the package is this pretty, no one cares what's inside." And, "It's a moo point. It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo." To which Rachel replies, "Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all make sense?" That episode is even one from after they started sucking, but the Thanksgiving ones are always pretty good. So anyway, this was incredibly pointless, I hope you enjoyed it. Somebody please sign my guestbook!!
2-23-02
I got up this morning and drove to Denver for a *fun* meeting. I really don't know why I go to these meetings, cause they are really pointless, but I do get paid as well as reimbursed for gas. So I suppose that's the point. Plus, they're only once a month, and I miss every other month it seems. Like, for example, I can't go to the April meeting because I have a conference that I will get back from the day before the meeting, and then on the day of, I am flying out to Orlando for another conference. So yeah, as pointful as these meetings are, I think I'm gonna have to forego that one. I drove home from Denver in pretty light traffic, and then went to the mall to shop for Jackie's present. Her birthday is the day before Emily's. Anyway, then Emily and I went to Denny's where we were met by yet another new guy. He wasn't as funny as Terrance, but he did seem to think that the world revolved around him, and that all girls within fifty feet should fall at his feet. That provided amusement. Then we went down to the nice big mall to look at prom dresses with Dina, and ended up trying a whole bunch on. I came home and watched TV for a while, and then got out of bed and got online. I contemplated redoing my nail polish, but decided that it would require too much effort.
2-21-02
Ummmm, today was day-like. Don't really have anything to share that's interesting. I woke up at 6:50, which is kind of a problem, cause I have class at 7:20. No person should be expected to get up that early, but I did choose to take the class. Anyway, my alarm, a buzzer, had been going off since 6am, and had failed to wake me up, for whatever reason. So, I was a little late to class, I got there only to discover that I got an F on our test, woo hoo. Dina and I came back to my house and ate Spaghettio's for lunch. Yummmmm. I attempted to do my Calc, and failed miserably. And I consequently failed the quiz. Then I came home and studied for a quiz in Celtic Lit, which I think I did ok on. I had a meeting at 6:30, yay!! When I got to work at 6, I found out that I am going to be nominated to be a KEYNOTE speaker at a NATIONAL conference. The conference isn't until early November, but it is still really cool!!! I have to help my boss, Jill write the nomination paragraph. The national organization was asking for suggestions for speakers, and they sent an email to the statewide organization in my state. I guess whoever got the email immediately thought of me!! I am so cool. The only speaking I've done for them, was once at a funder's luncheon, and then again at a state-wide conference last spring. But I've actually done a lot of speaking locally. But, yay for me, I'm so special!!
2-20-02
Today I discovered that the tip of my nose tingles when I get excited. No, not *excited* (mind out of the gutter), just when I get really excited or happy about something, my nose tingles. I've had this happen a few times but I just made the connection today. I wonder what Freud would have to say about that one . . . Today I was excited for a really dorky reason. I have a website at work, it's linked at the bottom, and today I did a major overhaul, and I was very proud of myself. I'm not quite finished, but take a look anyway. I am so cool. Today I was feeling *sick* and didn't make it to German. Instead I went to breakfast with Emily. We were going to talk to the interventionist about prom, but caught her on the way out. Oh well, it's not very urgent, prom is still two months away. I came home and showed my report card to my mom, cause she asked about it this morning. I've had it for a few weeks, but haven't wanted to show it to her. I knew she would freak out about me having a 3.2. Tonight I just decided to bite the bullet and I did it. And *shock* she didn't freak out at all. She actually told me that she thought I was doing a great job. Let's hear it for crazy parents. Woo. Anyway, somehow I'm in an ok mood today, maybe because I only went to one class. Although I did have a 4 day weekend, so that doesn't really make sense. I will be missing German again on Friday, but that class is incredibly pointless, so it's not a big deal.
2-19-02
I walked into my room tonight just as Stroke 9's "Little Black Backpack" came onto the radio. I really like that song, but it did nothing to improve the mood I'm in tonight. I didn't have a bad day or anything, I just hate the world right now. I got up at 6:30, went up to Eldora, had fun, then I came back and managed to stay awake through class. Then I came home. I took a shower. I ate. Then later I started looking through the fridge again. I was craving Spaghettio's (can I come over Dina?), but I knew we didn't have any. So I was looking for something else that looked good. My mom instantly materializes at my side and starts pointing out everything in there that I could eat, then she goes to the freezer and the cupboards. Every time she does this I tell her that I can figure it out on my own, I don't need her to tell me what we have to eat. This happens on a daily basis pretty much, and she does it every time. Why?? I'm 18, I'm capable of finding something to eat!! So anyway, then I'm sitting in my room reading, and she calls me out to the living room to see what I was up to. So I sat with her for a while watching figure skating. Woo. This doesn't usually bother me, but tonight it was getting to me. My parents won't let me close my door unless I'm in bed sleeping. I don't really know why. I mean it's not like I'm doing anything particularily bad in here when I have the door closed, I just like to close it. There's a lot of noise in my room, from the furnace running, I would rather not have it amplified by the washer and dryer and the dishwasher all running simultaneously. Grrrrr. But that's not really why I'm in a bad mood. I just am, ok?? I don't feel like talking about it! I really don't think I'm gonna make it through the rest of the year at home. I have 101 days left. It's not looking to good at this point.
2-17-02
I really don't feel like updating today, but since I am so devoted to you all, I decided to anyway. I had a really bad day, but I don't really want to talk about it. I went to Perkins tonight with my parents, and had the same waiter as I did with Emily on Valentine's Day. I could tell he recognized me, but didn't say anything about it. It was very exciting. I should have tomorrow off, cause work is closed, but I'm going to go in because I need to work on the website. As of today, I have 103 days before graduation, which is too long. I'll be moving out as soon as I graduate, but I don't know if that will be soon enough.
2-16-02
I'm really tired today, I think it's because I haven't really done anything, and I haven't had any coffee since 2am. And I only got six hours of sleep last night. I know I didn't update yesterday, I'm such a horrible person. I know *all* my fans must be really disappointed in me. I didn't update because I was, otherwise occupied. I don't really have a good excuse, I just didn't update. Last night Emily and I went to see LOTR at 8:30, then we hung out at Denny's for 2 hours, from 12 to 2, the latest we had been there together. We could stay out so late because we were staying at Jill's house. We went back to Jill's at 2 and watched MTV, hung out and *talked* for a while. We went to sleep at about 5:30 and woke up at noon. Pepe slept with us on the bed all night. I came home at 4pm today, and haven't really done much since then. Yeah, I really have nothing exciting that I want to share with you guys, so I'll just stop talking.
2-14-02
Emily finally posted her newest smut. Read it!! I command you!! Trust me when I say it is great writing!! Today was a nice day. Classes were not difficult. Work went smoothly, well mostly. I had a 40ish guy from Warehouse checking me out. Joey scolded him though, cause I'm obviously pretty young. Not to mention, as I told Joey, I'm taken. He said something about passing the word along, but pretty much everyone there already is aware of my taken-ness. I know that's not a word, but I don't care. I think he and Lory and Victor are the only ones who don't know. At least I don't know that they know. But if I get a certain surprise tomorrow, they should figure it out. Tonight was amusing in that Emily and I walked into two family restaurants holding hands. The first one looked too busy. But it was worth going in there for the looks we got. The second one wasn't as busy, plus it's fun to see the looks on faces when we use the name Snodgrass. It's not actually anyone's last name, but you get great looks from hostesses when you use it. Tonight the manager happened to be standing right there and she spelled it for me, because the hostess was not too bright. Then being led through a restaurant filled with older couples and families with small children holding my girlfriend's hand. It doesn't get much better. As we were leaving our waiter said "See you tomorrow night." Which is really strange cause Emily and I haven't been to that restaurant in a long time. And tomorrow night we are planning on going to see LOTR and then to Denny's. We are staying at Jill's, so neither of us has a curfew. When I got home tonight, my mom came in and asked how Pepe (Jill's cat) was, but she didn't say anything about Emily. I know she doesn't want to know, but it was weird all the same.

Right now I am wearing my "pajamas." Or at least they would be if I wore pajamas. ;) Anyway, it's this giant bland green sweatshirt, black pants with a blue stripe. I am also wearing a hat with little pom poms on the top. Now, I will admit that the pants are fitted, and that I have a nice ass. However, the "small" Hanes sweatshirt covers it up, for the most part. Why am I telling you this?? Well, tonight I went to the grocery store in this outfit, and got whistled at by a 14 year old with his mother. I got checked out by a couple high school aged guys, as well as a few pedophiles. Maybe it's the fact that Valentine's Day is tomorrow that makes people act that way. However, just because I happen to be walking around in the grocery store alone does not make me single!! I'm wearing pajamas in an effort not to be noticed!!! I'm buying Bugs Bunny Kraft Mac and Cheese!! Anyway, after being really annoyed by the really cool people at Safeway, I went to Jill's house to hang out with Pepe, her cat. I really enjoyed doing that, being alone, talking to a cat, watching MTV, feeling all adult by taking care of myself. Not that I don't do that already, but it's different when you live with your parents. Plus, I had to be home at nine, cause my mom is stupid and didn't want me spending the night. She made up some bullshit reasons, but really she was afraid I would have Emily there with me. *rolls eyes* Hello!! I'm waiting until Friday night to do that!! So I get home and I'm in the bathroom getting ready for bed and I hear my cell phone ring. I missed the call, but since I have handy-dandy caller ID, I called back to a number I didn't recognize. However, whoever I talked to was obviously stupid because he told me I had the wrong number. Umm, sorry buddy, but it's kind of hard to do that when you don't actually dial the number! So yeah, I was just amused because they called at 9:11 on the 13th. Emily and I made something of a scene after school today. Read about it.
Today was pretty interesting as well. One of my stories was too much to be contained in this small space, so I chose to add a new page. This is something that us web gurus get to do whenever we feel like it, and trust me, it's exhilerating. Anyway, enjoy my exciting story, there will soon be more. I had something of an awkward moment tonight with my parents. They were trying to figure out what they were doing for Valentine's Day, and I wanted to know what they were doing to make sure that Emily and I didn't run into them. They just got a little weirded out. Though I kind of neglected to mention that Emily and I might hang out at Jill's house after dinner. Oh well. I went over to Jill's tonight so she could show me where all the cat stuff is. She again reminded me how cool she is by continuing to show me where food stuff is, how to use the tv and computer, where towels were, etc. She's basically letting me take over her house for four days. She also told me that it was fine with her if I had Emily come over. She basically just asked me to do it, cause she knew I would appreciate being able to get out of my house for a few days. Yay for Jill, she's so great. Actually I think her and Susan cooked up the plot. So they're both great. Umm, after that I really didn't want to go home and kill my good mood, so I went to Wal-Greens to get mints, and ended up propigating my good mood. I would share all that with you, but can't because of someone who reads the page. Then I came home to my lovely tense house. My mom was actually nice tonight and massaged my shoulders cause my neck was out. I'm sure I'm really helping that by being on the computer, but oh well.
Today was a very exciting day for me. I found out that there are rumors out there about me and Emily!! I've never been the object of rumors, and the fact that our relationship is causing them amuses me. Let me see if I can get this straight. Jenni asked Amy to ask Jackie if Emily and I were dating. Jackie told them to ask us. They didn't. Then today in Psych, I kind of "came out" to the class. I didn't plan on it or anything, but this one guy pissed me off, so I reacted. We were supposed to write a word or phrase on the board to finish the sentence "I am." This hypocritical Christian wrote "a Disciple of Christ." We were talking about personality traits, and that really isn't one. So I figured if he could put that up, I could put bisexual up. And I did. I'm not sure how many people saw me write it, and I don't really care. Jenni happened to be standing right there, and kind of laughed, not taking me seriously. I looked her right in the eye, and was like "I'm serious." She stopped smiling. I laughed. When I got back to my desk, I was shaking. I wasn't really freaked out, but all the same I was scared about people's reactions, in a way. No one made any comment whatsoever to me. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I'm not really concerned. Tonight I was talking to a girl from German class, and she said that she heard something about it. So yeah, people are talking about me. Right now I'm just getting really pissed at the hypocritical Christians at my school, and I want to start pissing people off like they piss me off. Too bad most of the time I'm not brave enough to. *sigh* Someday.
Today was not exciting. I laid in bed for a long time before I could bring myself to get up. I washed my sheets, thanks to Mr. Underwood. I also cleaned all the clothes off of my floor, and was going to do some laundry, but then I didn't. I've been watching the Olympics tonight, to avoid doing any homework. Surprisingly, it's been working. Thanks to Emily for informing me that "I Want You To Want Me" was orignally done by Cheap Trick. However, I was listening to the "Ten Things I Hate About You" soundtrack, and that version is by Letters to Cleo, and that's the one that was stuck in my head. Emily and I were talking tonight, trying to decide what to do for Valentine's Day. We sort of want to do something different than usual, i.e. not go to Denny's. But then, coming up with somewhere else to go requires thought. Denny's doesn't. So if you want to place bets, I would bet that we'll end up at Denny's. Though the idea of going somewhere else is tempting, anywhere else we go, we are bound to run into couples from school, who we could shock just for the hell of it. We still have four whole days to decide, and we'll probably put it off until Thursday night, cause we're cool like that. The nice thing is that I will probably be housesitting for Jill Wednesday through Saturday, so Emily and I will have somewhere private to hang out, if we feel so inclined.
I got to see LOTR again today, yay!! I went with Dina, so it wasn't quite as interesting as usual, but at least she appreciates Legolas as much as Emily and I do. Then we went to the mall to visit Emily, and then to Denny's, where Emily met us when she got off. We spent 2.5 hours there, and I had 6 cups of coffee. The happy waiter was there, and he kept coming over to talk to us. Our waiter was actually the new guy, who we saw getting trained a week ago. He was somewhat incompetent, but his biggest problem was that he still took his job seriously. I give him a month. Plus, he walked funny. Very urgently, like walk-running, but he was never actually in a hurry. Plus when he brought me my first refill he kind of dove into the table. We were complaining to Jeremy (the happy waiter) about him, but he didn't get the walking thing, I don't think. Then we left, and Emily and I made something of a scene in the parking lot. It was fun, but we scared Dina off a bit I think. Plus there were these three really cool guys who stared at us as we were heading out, and I think they were watching Emily and I kiss. I guess if any of the wait staff hadn't picked up on the Stefi-Emily thing, they did this time. In the past few weeks, I have had cause to be offended by people making stupid comments at school. Like, last week in math class this guy didn't like a certain problem, and he said "That's so gay!" I sat there and ground my teeth, but what I really wanted to do was beat the shit out of him. If he does it again, I will. Even if I wasn't bi, that would offend me, how can it not?? Being gay doesn't automatically make you stupid!! It's not stupid to be gay, so why do people use it in that sense? I knew some people who would do that all the time in middle school, but I thought it had stopped. Then Frau Dwire made a comment about a movie we were making, because we had switched the gender of the characters, and she was concerned about there being lesbianism in the film. She said, "We don't need to see two girls kissing." The point of that was that Emily and I need to start shocking people, pissing them off like they piss us off. However, we both lack the bravery to do that, but we'll have to try. That's all that new. I'm really jittery!!
I can't decide what it is that I want right now. I'm not exactly tired, nor am I hungry, I just feel like something is missing. Oh well. I actually managed to stay awake in class today, woohoo! German was fun because we had a sub who was grandma like, but really cool anyway. We had to tape ourselves reading this German poem, and we made the tape fun, with the sub screaming in the background and all. Work today was busy, but not stressful busy, just I had stuff to do. Plus I got to talk to Amy, the supervisor, which I don't usually get to do. She's pretty cool to talk to. Emily and I were going to see LOTR again, but we were foiled by the changing movie times. Grrrrr. So instead we hung out at Denny's for a long time, big shock there. I'm ok with it though, cause I'm gonna see it tomorrow with Dina while Emily is working, and then hook up with her after she gets off. I've been thinking lately. I can't work up the energy to care about school right now, how much worse is it going to be when Spring Fever sets in? Oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I feel sorta bad right now, cause I told Matt Wednesday that I would call him sometime to hang out, and I haven't yet. But I've been busy. I have plans for the rest of the weekend, and Emily doesn't work Friday or Saturday next weekend, so that could be booked too. So if you're reading this Matt, I'm sorry. But I am feeling better than I was on Wednesday, so yay!!
Today was exactly like the last two days, except that I got a nice 45 minute interlude with Emily before class. It was so nice to just sit around and relax and not think about any work for a while. I am so exhausted today, but once I get into bed I won't be able to sleep. That's the problem I've had all my life, but usually when I'm really tired all the time it goes away, but not this week. I fall asleep every time I sit down, but once I'm in bed, I can't sleep. I could barely stay awake through Chem and Psych, and then I came close to napping during lunch. Then in Calc, I almost dropped off. Then Mr. Keilian explained how to prove limits, and it completely blew my mind. I understood most of what he was saying, but couldn't comprehend it. My mind is still fried from yesterday, so I knew it would be a waste of time to even try today. Plus I had to finish my english paper. I actually stayed awake during class tonight, even though we watched more of the boring movie. After that I went to work, and talked to Jill for a bit before the YAR meeting, and I talked to her a bit afterwords too. I enjoy talking to her just as much as Susan, they are both so cool. Plus she asked me to house sit for her next week, yay! I am sooooooo exhausted right now, words can't even describe. Tomorrow night Emily and I are going to see Lord of the Rings again, I think. It's not so bad though, because we didn't see it last weekend.
I got home at seven and wanted to pass out. I think I literally did fry my brain today. But of course I couldn't do that because I had too much homework to do!! It's very frustrating to be this busy because you can't even finish one thing before another comes up. Like today, I went into work thinking I had two and a half hours to prepare to talk to this kid and his family. I get in and find out that one of the other kids that frequents the Youth Center died last night in a car accident. Everyone had spent the day dealing with it, and I got sucked into that. Then I ended up helping Catherine for a while with a flyer, while folding my newsletter. Before I knew it, I had like 15 minutes. Just then Jackie calls me, because we needed to figure out when we were doing a project for YAR. She was on her way back from the hospital where her dad had just had surgury. Anyway, we made plans for that, and while I was talking, Victor came in to tell me that the family was here. Ack!! So I get my stuff together, remind Joey to bring Matt in when he gets here and went out to meet the family. Victor had to be downstairs to talk to other kids about the death, so I was solo for a while. I managed to fill it up with having them fill out a checklist thingy that takes a while. Then Matt got there and it was ok. However, that got done at 4:30, and I had another meeting, in the same room, at 4:30. I wasn't sure if I was gonna need to cover it for Susan, cause she didn't know yet at 3:30. Turns out she was ok to come, but she had to leave halfway through cause a family member of the kid showed up. She had me finish it up, which was stressful. Then I wrap up the meeting, and the door opens and Stacie is standing there do we can finish filming our German film. That took half an hour, then Jackie and I did the YAR flyers and I came home and did some more work. The highlight of my day was breakfast with Emily and Dina. Everything just went downhill from there.
Today has been the longest day!! I went to school at 7:20am for a Chem test that I probably bombed. Then I had Psych, then I went home to cram for the Calc test at 1pm. At 3pm I had to be at work for a meeting. At 3:30 I had to leave for class at 4. I got out of class at 5:15, and made it back to work by 6 to film some of my German movie. I got back home (finally) at almost 8pm. I ate, worked on my english paper and attempted to memorize the last two stanzas of a German poem, but quickly gave up. For a while I was thinking that tomorrow was Thursday and I only had one more day to write my english paper, but then I realized that I actually had two. Yay! I actually got about half of it done anyway. I have another quiz in English in the morning, I haven't even begun to study for it. But that's what breakfast is for, if we decide to do that. The sad thing for me is that tomorrow is going to be just as busy as today. I have that quiz, then German, where I'll be filming more of our movie. Then I have to rush to work to get ready for this thingy at 3:30. We might be filming more of our movie before then as well. About halfway through the thingy Matt is coming in to talk to the kid for the thingy. Then I have to sign him off four comm. serv. At 4:30, right when my thingy ends, I'm supposed to be in an Outdoors Club meeting, but I guess I'll be about 15 minutes late. Then one of three things will happen. We will film the monkey's escape scene for our German movie, or Jackie and I will send out our YAR flyers, or both. Then I get to come home and struggle with finishing my paper, because there's no way I can do it Thursday night. Sounds like fun, no? I am so tired right now, I could fall asleep! It's not even 10! Yay! Emily is sending me more of her story that I'm addicted to! Wow, it was good! If she ever posts it, I'll be sure to put up a link.
I actually feel like writing today, yay!! I was pretty late to my first class, woops, but I don't think the teacher noticed. We got our latest quiz back, and I got an A!! Yay for me!! The really really stupid people in front of us got pissed of at the class for talking through the beginning of class, because then he might give us a vocab quiz, oh no!! If they studied their stupid words, it wouldn't be a big deal, it's free points!!! Then, when we had a quiz anyway, they got pissed at Dina, even though she had been sitting there quietly throughout most of this time. This little battle has been going on for quite a few weeks, and mostly it's because this girl is such a bitch and thinks she is the queen of the school. But screw her, if she wants to start shushing everyone the moment she walks into the room, then she can waste her breath that way. We'll just have to talk louder over her so we can hear each other. *sigh* Ok, done ranting about that. Dina, Emily and I were all very amused to find that we had the exact same grade in english. Then I went to german, and slacked off. I made up a Psych test after school, which was sadly easy. Then it was off to work, only to discover that my presentation for this afternoon had been cancelled, leaving me with nothing to do. I managed to find work, and avoid doing other work, so it worked out. Brenda's brothers gave me crap about my hair not being spiky. I've been trying to patiently let it grow out so that I can get a perm, and then cut it really short for summer again. But now I'm not sure I can be patient. It's really annoying at this stage, cause there really isn't much I can do with it. The only person so far who has told me not to cut it immediately is Louie. That surprises me because he loved my spikes, he would rub them every day for *luck* He's growing his hair though too, so maybe that has something to do with it. But I also like my hair curly and cute. Anyone else care to comment?
Today has just been, eh. There isn't even anything exciting that I can share with you. I didn't see Emily, I went to lunch with my parents and I watched a Pop Stars 2 Marathon. I am very ashamed about that last one, but it was pretty amusing. So anyway, I'll spare you the details of my exciting day, and instead tell you how exciting my week is going to be. My entire week is one meeting after another at work, and one big assignment at school after another. Oh, I did see parts of the Superbowl. I watched it during the commercials. I saw the last few minutes of it, very exciting. I wasn't really rooting for either team. The Rams suck cause they beat the Packers two weeks ago, and the Packers stomped the Patriots in Superbowl XXX. So anyway, I'm getting bored typing this, so I'm gonna stop talking.
I just had four cups of coffee, so I'm really wired. I'm also in a much better mood than I was yesterday. Probably cause I spent time with Emily tonight, in Denny's. Plus, I had a productive day today. Instead of sleeping till noon, I woke up at 11, and got out of bed at 11:30. I had some coffee, then took a shower. Then I spent a few hours cleaning my room and bathroom. My parents were out shopping so I had the house all to myself, it was nice. Then I watched Mansfield Park cause I was bored. My parents rented it and watched it last night, and I watched it tonight. It's an adaptation of Jane Austen's book. I realized while watching it that her novels, as well as the Bronte sister's are all about the same thing. The stories go the same way. This girl loves this guy that she grew up with, but he loves someone else. This other guy loves the girl, and proposes to her. Sometimes she marries him, and sometimes she doesn't. If she marries him, he dies soon, so that the other guy, who finally realizes that he loves the girl, can marry her. Isn't that so true?? Now, I'm basing this on Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Emma and Mansfield Park. I could be wrong otherwise. Anyway, then I went to the mall to hang out with Emily. She called when she got off and we went to Denny's. But my mom wanted to me come home at 11:30, randomly. I think it's because I told her that Emily needed to get something to eat, and then we would probably just hang out and talk for a while. She probably thought I meant something else, which I didn't. But whatever. If I was going out with a guy, my curfew would have been 1 or 1:30. Parents are cool like that sometimes. Anyway, that was my day. Exciting, no?
I'm in a bad mood right now, for no particular reason. So don't mind me if I'm a bitch, I don't really mean it. (Okay, so I do, but I'm in a bad mood, play along with me) Ummmmmmm, I rolled out of bed ten minutes before I needed to leave this morning, and somehow was almost on time to class. I was actually inside the building when the bell rang! Today kind of sucked. I actually got some work done, for which I was very proud. I talked to Susan a bit, but I don't feel any better, so it didn't really accomplish it's purpose. I avoided my parents tonight instead of talking to them like I should have. I just didn't have the strength or energy. Hopefully they'll be out of the house tomorrow so I won't have to worry about it. I'm also feeling really tired, so I'm glad that I decided to opt out of our snowboarding trip tomorrow. I'm glad it's the weekend, but I have another 2 five-day weeks before we have another day off of school. And next week is just as crazy as this week, with work. Arg.
