YR, you stretched the page...could you take off a few of those o's?

I keep having massive breaks between postings. School completely took over my life. I have this project in Chemistry due Monday. We have to build a model of a molecule (everyone has a different one) and write down a bunch of information on it. It's not hard, just time consuming. I've never been very good at projects...though the DNA model Emily and I made last year was incredible. And despite what some say, our WAS the best. So, anyway, I painted the little styrofoam balls I'm using for the individual parts, but I have to wait for them to dry. As I'm incredibly impatient, I decided to do that tonight so I could do the rest tomorrow and Sunday. This would have been all well and good except we have a Bible study tomorrow. We're going to the park at noon. I'm hoping people are bringing food, otherwise, I might die. *dramatic pause* Oh, and then I got invited to a birthday party. It's technically from one thirty to ten-ish, or something like that, but they're going paintballing and I've never been, and I really don't want to look incredibly stupid. So, yeah, if I went, I'd be going at like, six, for the bonfire. I'm not sure if I'm going yet because of...well, that's another paragraph.

Well, my dad has a kidney stone. Again. He's had it for a week now, and the doctor said to give it another week, and if it doesn't go away...they'll probably have to put him in the hospital. Of course, since he's such a work-aholic he went to work while under pain meds twice, which isn't the smartest thing to do. If that's not bad enough, my brother got sick a couple of days ago. My mom is completely overtired from all the doctor and hospital visits, and I think I caught the same thing I had a while ago, with the soar throat and coughing and overall ickyness.

A little conversation I found amusing...that you might not...but first, a little background. My dad's truck broke down a while ago. The battery needed to be replaced, but since the hood decided to stick, it had to get towed. [That looks wrong...did I spell it right? Ah well.] This resulted in a number of trips all over for mumsy. Also, my dad has a bottle fetish. He collects them. There are sooo many in our house. Recently, he discovered Ebay.

Dad: You know, with all the trouble with my truck, and my illness...I think I deserve to buy another bottle.
Mom: After you see the bill from your trouble with your truck and your illness, you won't want to buy another bottle.

Hehe...

I can't wait until spring break. Not for the break itself, but for what comes after. The band (and choir, but whatever...it's the band that counts. ) is going to Gatlinburg the Thursday after spring break. I'm sooo excited. We stay for about three days, and only one is actual competition, so we can go be tourist-y.

72 hours left. That's hard. There are so many things I haven't done, things I should have done that I didn't. It's not so much that I haven't been as good of a person as I should have, because that's pretty much a given...but I haven't been the kind of witness I should have been. Missed opportunities, times when there are things that maybe could have made a difference. If I go any farther into this line of thought, I'll probably end up offending somebody, so I'll leave it at that.

I have to call back my neighbor and tell her that I can't babysit tomorrow, so I'll quit my ramblings. Toodles!

Hey, I actually have an excuse for that one, finally! Sleepover + 10:00 Mass + softball game at 6 = very, very tired. I'm praying it will rain, seriously. 'Cause if it does, that means no game. And if there's no game, that means I don't have to risk getting hit in the face by a flying softball because I'm too tired to see it (or lazy to catch it).


Heh heh...sleepovers...My friend's birthday is in November, but for the past two years, she's been planning parties that never actually happened. So, we threw her a surprise one yesterday. It's actually really funny 'cause she called us while we were at the mall shopping for our presents and she got _so_ mad that we didn't invite her or something like that. Meantimes I'm thinkin, Welcome to the story of my life. I've only been to hte small...3 times this year. Yup.


So, it's funny, it's like 2 am and we're making these videos entitled "Why We Quit Cheerleading (even though most of us weren't in it to begin with)" In which we tackeld such things as the Pyramid and such. Actually, we were successful with the pyramid, which is amazing because there's six of us and one tinnny living room. Needless to say, my back hurts a bit today, .


In other news, I've become severely addicted to Hayley Westenra. "Dark Waltz" is amazing. I've already learned the first page on the piano, and it's a beaut, it truly is. Gaah, how on earth do you spell that, anyway? Truely? Truly? !!!!

*sigh* I'm really tired. I'm gonna go sleep on the couch or something.

...



EDIT: Oh, Angel! I'm sure your dad will be okay. You _could_ have it worse, believe it or not. Listen to this: My teenage (ok, well, college-age) cousin is in the hospital and has been for some months now. They don't know what's wrong with her. Her mother might have breast cancer. Her cat died. Her grandma just had brain surgery. Happy times, eh? But I think they're ok now. Mostly. But my cousin is still in the hospital....


Oh, and something happened yesterday. It was...really scary. There's this intersection like a block away and right around the corner of my friend. Well this kid who goes to my school, he's just a sixth grader, 12 years old...Well, he got hit by a car. And it's pretty bad. He hasn't regained conciousness yet (but the doctors say he's doing very well and they are optimistic). I really, really hope so. It's just a sudden reminder of how little time we have.

Reminds me of this girl a couple years back...she's was in like fourth grade, I think, at the time. She was diving into a local pool for competition. She had a seziure under water...It was so sudden, and she died. Just like that. It's weird to think of. I don't really the the school has been the same since. We don't need another tragedy....



Wow, it's weird how in all this face of unhappiness I can still be happy. Must be music. *goes to rummage for books* Cheers, fellows, I'm now going to read and probly listen to "Dark Waltz" again, heh heh .

Okay quick post.
I´m in the Galapagos, don´t envy me any of you. I don´t think that its all that amazing so far. We might do a tour or something, see more stuff.
Internet is expensive here. Just thought I´d say hi.
Uhmmm. I´ll add more to this later. I´m not loaded with anything to talk about.

So, just thought I´d say hi. This is one of the most boring post from a girl who can type the heck out of a keyboard. Hah.

[marina salem]

<-- That is the story of my life right now. We had a volleyball tournament yesterday, in the afternoon *gag*. However, we won 1st place in our bracket and got medals! Mostly, my ecstaticness (is that a word?) comes from the fact that I rarely get any sort of medal/trophy/token of acheivement, so for our team to get something was a real happiness-producer.

We all love lunch time, don't we? Time to eat, talk with friends, eat, buy ice cream, eat, and do homework that should have been done last night. Right now, it's eat and talk. Sarah's boyfriend broke up with her, apparently, according to Kim. *feels sorry for her amiga* Hopefuly indoor soccer will cheer her up (unlikely).

Uh-oh, there it is again. Time to end this post and conserve energy into staying awake through geometry.

Oh, and Mel, it's "truly".

[nita2011]

Okay, so here I am siutting in this class. I was like "I cant believe you call my boyfriend a ***" and she is like "well look at his screen name" and I am like "You need to be nicer to him" and so she was like "God, you are so suductive to your boyfriend" So I'm like "WHAT??" and she is like "Well, yah. You are totally attracted to him." And so I was laughing my head off, as she had NO CLUE what the word suductive ment and we are in Eigth Grade. Oh, got to go. Class has started.

HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY MONKEYGIRL!!!

[Dairine]

It would figure that Jamie would say "HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY MONKEYGIRL!!!" in ToGR... BTW, for those who don't know, I am MonkeyGirl... And any things that he adds on there. So, if you don't know who he was talking about on the fourth of April, it was me... Just though y'all should know!

BTW, I had the best birthday ever. I loved it and I went to the mall and just about killed myself there...

[Mel]

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!!


Also, Happy Easter to all you Christians out there.


Ahh, chocolate splurges after none for 40 days.... I be stuffed silly, in a happy sort of way.

Besides, I get a pretty new dress!!



You know, it's weird, it was snowing here today...It's a weird Easter. We were origionally supposed to have this gihugic rain storm, but it never came... It's funny, apparently on yesterday's date in 1927, it was 90 degrees...well, here, anyway. And normally it's like ...60. It's sort of odd, ya know?


bllh...I'm tired. I'm not sure why, but, uh, well, there you go!


So...have fun today, everybody! It's goigeous, dahling, goigeous!

The mall never stood a chance

So...much...snow...this is not Easter anymore, it's like Christmas again. Except last Christmas, I gave you my heart...lol, not really. Last Christmas, it was raining, like it normally is on Easter. And right now, we've got about 2 feet of snow which has come down in the past 2 days. It's madness. Very cold and wet madness. Urgh.

In itself, Easter is a good day. First, I get waken up at 7 by my 13 year old sister, who wants to go get her "presents" in her Easter basket. (You'd think she'd have gotten over the novelty of waking me up at 7 to go and look in a basket that will still be there in 3 hours, whether she wakes up or not.) Around 12, we go over my paternal grandma's house, and stuff ourselves at Easter brunch. She makes these awesome donuts; I only eat the raspberry filled ones, but my dad and brother love the lecvar (sp) ones...yes, lecvar like prunes lecvar. So weird...but the raspberry ones are good. Then, we went back home to our driveway, which in our absence had re-filled itself up with snow. (Told you the snow was crazy insane. And it's not like the snowplows were out, because it's Easter. And it's April.) So we shoveled ourselves into the driveway, and got food ready since my mom's side of the family was coming over for Easter dinner. I'm not going to lie...I kind of slept through all that. I woke up for dinner, and went back to sleep after dinner. I ate a lot today, and food like that...just makes me pretty much pass out. Very funny, I know.

So, that's my Easter. When I wasn't eating or sleeping, I was sitting there, watching the snow fall down, since it fell down literally all day long. It's madness. Bad madness. I wonder if we'll have track tomorrow...hmmm...I suppose it's kind of hard to run RPIs on a track covered in 2 feet of snow...and the parking lot is definitely not shoveled out yet, so it's not like we'll have anywhere to park our cars. Watch, I'll get up there tomorrow morning and Coach'll be like "Oh, sorry seabiscuit, practice was cancelled. Didn't you get a call from the phone chain?" Yeah, the thing about the phone chain is...I'm at the end of it, since my last name's near the end of the alphabet. Therefore, I have never once gotten a call from this "Phone chain." Apparently, the chain always breaks before it gets to me.

Yes, I'm ranting. But I'm tired, and I slept through my chance to rant to my family. But it's ok, since I've got lots of chocolate to rant to...*looks at basket full of chocolate* At least I've got chocolate to comfort my pains from the snow. That, and a new pair of Converses. Normally I don't wear my Converses much, since they have no arches in them, and that hurts my feet; also, they just aren't really runner's shoes, since we all wear running shoes and other random shoes that are good for your feet, like Birkinstocks...however, I really like this new pair-they're sort of khaki colored, with this pattern down the back.

And now I'm talking about shoes. I should go to bed...after all, I might have track tomorrow, for all I know. I still wonder if it's possible to run the work-out with 2 feet of snow on the track; I really don't think it is, since it's a speed work-out, and it's obviously hard to be speedy in the snow. Therefore, I guess I'll go to sleep now...

But do they know who 'Jamie' is? Satisfied *snuggles MonkeyGirlDrivesBoysToDistractionAndWeWouldn'tHave ItAnyOtherWay*

You know what, I've just noticed that there is a newbie with 'Jamie' as his username - maybe we'll actually have to start referring to you as wizardling

I hope everyone had a happy easter - and that you haven't given yourselves a sugar fit from eating too much chocolate!

I should probably get back to doing my uni work. Stupid pracs that eat up my holidays. I gotta get these done by the end of the day, so that I can do some socialising tomorrow

[wizy123]

two things first happy belated birthday (i havent been on a while) and hope you all have a great easter and or spring break

[Dragon Writer]

*looks up at this* don't we have a birthday box thread for birthday things? *Shrugs* ah well, what's randomness for but random in and of itself. and if you understood that, then please fill me in. (Not really.) *thinks on what to say* *can't think of anything to say* other then...hey dairine! long time no see! *goes off to tree of plenty for most posting ideas for OTHER parts of forum*

[Mel]

EDIT: This sort of sucks. I had a whole page here and just deleted it....

<span class="ev_code_RED">WARNING: Ranting ahead.
Proceed with caution!</span>

The bad stuff first.

Ok, so first with what happened recently, about 30 minutes ago, actually.

It all started in first grade. I was running and had chipped a tooth, so they filled it up so it wouldn't chip more and so it looked normal. Yeah, well, today I was gnawing on some hard Easter candy, and then I suddenly realise--my filling came out. My tooth is now chipped. Ok, it looks sort of bad, but I can live with that. What's bad, though, is that the play is in 4 days. I really, really don't want to go on stage with that chip. Especially when it gets taped...

Ok, second rant, and this one is worse. My brother's always been rude and sort of mean. I've always been able to deal with it. This, however, is an entirely new level to him.
He broke up with his girlfriend of three years. Ok, that's ok, it's his choice. He did it a month before her senior prom. That's bad. He didni't give a reason. That's reallly bad. She cried for a week +. He didn't cry at all. He has a new girlfriend. He went to her prom. He wants her to go to his prom, even though his ex girlfriend was supposed to go with him. She already has the dress, and her asked the other girl. ....look, do you see where this is going? I don't know whther to hate the girl or feel sorry for her. I'm feeling a mixture of both, actually.

To make matters worse, my mom and his now ex's mom became really close. After my mom found out about the break up, (he didn't tell us! We found out 5 days later!!) she called her and she was crying because she thought that they wouldn't be friends anymore, and she doesn't have a lot of friends. It was really sad. And his ex's grandfather really like my brother, and he got really angry at him, like, "Why did he do this??" kind of thing.

Oooh, I have a lot of bad feeling about my brother right now....



*sigh* but onwards, always onwards...

well, I have some good news anyway. There was this whole saga about my english and math placement tests. First, we completely and totally missed them. They started ast 8. My mom remembered at 1 pm. Craziness. So, we call my high school and we get the principal and my mom and she talk it out, and they decide the next closest day they can, I will take it. So, I'm in school on Tuesday (we had off Monday) and I get this note: 2:30 dismissal. Ok, I says to myself, orthidontist or something. I go to the parking lot and my mom says, "Guess what? You're taking the test in five minutes!" And so, slightly freaked, I take my tests. The English was easy, but hte math not-so-very 'cause I didn't have time to study, and I didn't finish the questions. So, I'm at play practice that Friday. Well, this Friday, actually, and My mom's in the car and says to me, "Apparently you were borderline Algebra 2, so you have to take it again tomorrow at six, ok?" And now I freak out a little 'cause I don't have my math copybooks. So we go back to the school and ask the technology teacher to let us into the building, which she's not supposed to do but lets us anyway 'cause she's just hte awesomest lady _EVAR_!! For other reasons, as well, but anyway. So, I study and I take it, and they were so nice about everything, and so considerate! They gave me pencils and scrap and even a bottle of water! And, I swear we got home and were not in the house for three minutes when we get a call from the Sister who gave me the test, exclaiming I did really really well and that I was in Algebra 2 and that I was gonna be working really really hard next year.


Then, today wasd the freshman Mass there. It was really nice. Their music department is amazing. And the chapel is beautiful. I really don't like most churches, they're either overdressed or under, but htis was nice. There were giant paintings of saints and stuff on the ceiling, and as my other brother's girlfriend said, "It's ok if you can't pay attention to the homily. You just look up and feel better, like, contemplating the saints. Hey, St. Michael, lookin good!!" And they ahd wicked food afterward. They even had chocolate covered strawberries!! I think that I'm really gonna love this school, they've done so much for me already!

...the sad thing is, half the stay knows me by name now, including the principal, and several of the girls. I don't even go there yet! It's craziness, it is.


Well, I think I should go do my homework now. I've got a half an hour, then off to my Grandma's for her 79th birthday. Crazy.

Thanks for reading this if you did. I don't blame you if you didn't, XD

Dai stiho!
