The Topic of Great Randomness

[Gryphon]

I know only three flawlessly awesome guys. One is my brother's friend R. Another is my boyfriend. The third is my crush from last year. They're all the selfless sort that make you smile just to be around them, and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world just to know them.

Poor deer. :/ When I lived in FL, we would see some run through our yard. Now, the only times I even get to just hear about deer is my busdriver talking about how he'd pack up and take home a roadkill deer if he saw it get hit and it'd make him some good dinner. (no lie)

Heh my garden. Summer '05 I actually had a genuine garden of marigolds that I checked up almost everyday and pruned. This year, I grabbed a handful of marigold seeds, sprinkled them around, and forgot about them. I don't even know if they're still alive.

Dee:
Oh well. Fall always seems very crisp and clean to me. Does anybody else get that feeling? Like you can go outside for a walk when you haven't showered for two days and you're still in your pajama top and your hair is in its ponytail from yesterday, yet you can come back inside feeling spotless and like you've just been drycleaned? I get that feeling from autumn.

Me too! I love fall.

Dee:
I was all set to wear my blue strapless dress that mom hates me to wear because it is very immodest

My mom is such the opposite of yours >< You have no idea. :P

And the dancing! Last night, I watched my two hours of tv, then stood up and wrote whatever floated into my head (I was supposed to be working on a plot for VGDawn :P ) but then got sidetracked and drew all over the page. I don't know about you, but a lot of people say that they listen to music when they write. SOmetimes helps with ideas or whatever. Well, that's all great, but when I try to listen to music and write at the same time, I come out sounding really incoherent and brain dead, let alone the sudden drought of ideas. And so, because I loved my iPod too much to turn off the music and try to write some more, I ran around downstairs and danced for 30 minutes. <3 You can't go wrong with a little industrial metal and MSI. :P Pyscho

FERRETS RULE! we nammed them ziggy and pop, ziggy cause he reminded dad of zigazoon in pokemon, and pop because of iggy pop...they're ziggy pop apparently..don't ask me...blame me for the names of the upcoming kittens, maybe, but this was all dad...and they're SO cute...i'll get pictures as soon as i can...we're stil waiting for them to decide what they want to steal, so we can find their hiding spot, decide what we need, and let them keep what we don't...it actually helps, cause they can find things you lost possibly..but if you take TOO much they'll know you found there spot and they'll moveit...but they have short attention spans and won't recognize the item if they see it again...they think it's great, grab it, hide it, and don't really pay attention to it afterwards...butthey usually put stuff in the same spot....sorry for the ferret rant...but people are annoyed at me when i rant about roleplaying and i need something to rant about...besides, SOMEONE said that most people in chat liked hearing about cute furry things...anyways, sorry if i'm ranting a bit too much and i probably won't post again unless they do something SUPER Cute...well super cuter then usual anyways...or unless i have pictures.

[Dragon Writer]

Ok...I need to respond to something pm said in memoirs of a newbie, but since this isn't a memoir i can't post there...knowing pm reads every post, i'm posting it here..small town's interests didn't drift away...her mom just won't let her have anything to do with sites involving magic. She told me on yim...though recently she hasn't even been there and i think her parents took comp away from her...

[Gibby Gibson]

Gryphon talked about:
It's that kind where it doesn't have real straps, just that thing that starts in the front, goes behind the neck, and ends in the front again. (Called a halter top? I think I sound pretty clueless already) Navy blue with a design of light blue, sparkly outlines of flowers, and it ends above the knees.

Angel_Star said:
Gibby, I'd love to dance! *twirls* Whenever I see your name, I'm reminded of my Chem teacher. She's Mrs. Gibson. My friend E calls her Gibby.

Dee:
And Gibby, I would love to dance! *twirls with Angel_Star and Gibby* Yay!

[Gryphon]

GibbY;
Hope you enjoy your homecoming.

I <3 you Hope you enjoy life

I have a journal, but I rarely write in it. Recently, I flipped through it, and I don't remember writing most of the stuff that's in there. I wonder where it is now...

[Mel]

Today had something worty of writing down in any journal.

We were coming back from my Music Theory class. We were taking a different way because we had to hit the bank, so it's all normal. Out of nowhere, this cop car pulls up behind us with the lights on, but not the siren. Okaaay. But then a second on comes, pulling in front of us to keep us from going any further while the first guy makes this car in front of us pull over. The first cop gets out. He pulls his gun and hides it behind his back. He looks at us like, get out of here, and my mom tells me to hit the deck, so I huddle under the seat. We finally find a way to make a u-turn. Then we see four or five other cop cars and one cop-van thingy. I am so happy to be out of there! It's one thing to watch "Cops". It's another to actually see a gun. It seriously scares the crap out of you.

So, we figure, the guy maybe robbed a place and stole a car. The police might have followed him, or heard accounts before they found him 'cause they came outta nowhere. Scary stuff.

In lighter news, I, for once, have actually learned something in theory.

Also, Friday was such a weird day. It started out funny 'cause me and my friend were saying announcements for the first time, and we totally botched them up. It was sooo much fun though.

Then was lunch which was totally fun. I'm part of the tech club, and all we basically did was plug these things into USB ports or whatever, but I got to take pictures with my teacher's camera for the yearbook. Most of them are so staged looking or just funny, it's great. Like on is a picture of a poster that says, "I'm Proud of You!" Another is me and my friend holding the 2nd grade's bear (long tradition, I'll tell about it later), but most of them are us looking sooo stupid plugging in these things.

So then we go to science, and my teacher keeps making these offhand political snides. Even if I did agree with her, I would still be angry. She putting her opinions off as facts. She doesn't give us proof. Her opinions are totally irrelevant to class. Our history teacher is very opinionated, but he gives his facts and proof, doesn't try to win you over or dissuade your opinions, only makes you think about what you say. Our teacher doesn't. It makes me sooo angry!!

But then, in computer lab, my first grade buddy was soo cute, She was sent upstairs to find me. It's really funny 'cause she's really hard to understand, and she was dancing the whole time. She does that a lot, dancing. In her seat, walking to the bus, soo cute. And she's really tiny, even by first grade standards. It takes her forever to get up or down stairs. But it turns out her mom ordered a whole bunch of stuff from a fund raiser and it was too heavy for her, so I had to carry it home for her. But it was soo cute.

And in a couple of hours, I have a halloween party which I am excited about, even though it is going to be outside, and it is freezing right now. Luckily, my costume is many many layers. Jeans, boots, two shirts, a large overcoat, bandana, hat, etc. so I should be ok.

Yay for Gibby!

And Gryph: Firstly, is your avvie a skirt? And what was that british band's name that you gave me? I forgot to write it down....


EDIT: and teachers are begning to annoy me now, too. They all want a hundred percent, but we can't give them that all the time. There's too much. I just wish that teachers would remember what it was like when they were our age. Seriously. Yes, school is important. But so is everything else we do.
Thankee for letting me rant!! :P

[the_peridexis]

You know Mel, I was just thinking that Gryphon's avvie is either a skirt OR an upside-down head, with red hair and part of the forehead showing through. Which one is it, Gryph?

Anyway, some weird things have been going on. My cat ran away. Poor baby, I'm really worried about him. He's barely out of being a kitten! And i think I botched my English report on the Danish resistance, which is odd because English is one of my strongest points in school. But to completely contrast to that, ( did I even say that right?) my designs and my poetry are thriving. Odd, isn't it? Normally when my poetry is doing well, so is my English stuff...but Fate is fickle, I suppose. I'm really happy with my designs, though. I've been doing mostly clothes, but the rooms I did turned out really cool too. But something else is getting on my nerves; whenever I sign on to AIM, my buddylist refuses to load. But just five minutes ago, a friend just Imed my sister, who's signed on. What?

It's times like these when I wish some of you techies were over here...and some of you other people to chase my brothers away, who are at the moment throwing a tiny ball around and trying to hit it with a stuffed animal, like some twisted version of baseball. They keep yelling the crap out of each other, screaming foulplay and...and look, there they go bumping into the damned computer, nearly knocking me off my chair...no, you idiots, I will NOT referee your stupid game! Arrrrrgh. i know i sound mean and uncaring, but this bothers me to the extreme. Oh look, they've stolen my slipper for a bat. My toes are cold!

School, school...it's beginning to suck. I'm doing pretty good; I managed to get 5 A's on my interim, but when I was planning to get A's in ALL my classes that's not quite cutting it, especially for my parents. Why are parents so pushy? I try my best, but if all I can manage is that much, shouldn't they be happy and proud of me? I understand they want the best for me, but they need to reconignize that if they keep doing this, then my respect for them might...dwindle. No, I could never be DISrespectful of them, but I just wouldn't care anymore. They're pushing me too hard. And how am I supposed to manage my my huge load of homework AND helping with my ungrateful little brothers'? This is not working. At least i have this place to spill all my worries into. That helps a lot.

I haven't posted here since October started, so I guess I will.

Well, for one, it doesn't feel like October to me. It feels more like... September still. I mean, I have a Halloween avvie and we put our Halloween decorations out on the first, but... I dunno. I haven't gotten my costume yet, so maybe that's it. I don't know what I'm going to be, but I have some ideas. Like Athena, or a witch, or something...

It doesn't feel like Saturday either. It feels more like... A Tuesday during the summer. An August Tuesday. Don't ask me how it feels like an August Tuesday and September at the same time, cause I sure don't know. I wish it was Christmas break.

Speaking of Christmas, the one thing I want the most is internet in my room. But my mom said I wouldn't be getting it, so that really sucks. I'm also asking for stuffed animals, cause I haven't gotten a new one in forever. I really miss getting Beanie Babies in my stocking, I love those little guys...

And then, right after Christmas is my birthday. Oh, yay for me. I wish my birthday was in July! Then I'd get something new sometime other than in those two weeks. I mean, not counting the stuff I buy with my own money and everything. Wait, what money? I don't have money! I spend it all on BOOKS. That's the only thing I get for the rest of the year, not counting clothes, shoes and other things I need.

I really need to find a less-expensive hobby...

[seabiscuit1009]

I feel like death...our football team has a pancake breakfast every year to raise money for...something, don't know what. Anyway, my cross country team decided to go, since we love food. And being the crazy team that we are, we decided to have an eating contest with our coach. Coach is a big man-he's not fat or anything, just semi big. But one of the girls has beat him at eating before, so we thought we could do it. BAD idea! He ate 11 pancakes, the girl who's beaten him before ate 8, and I ate 9. So now I have a new reputation as the craziest girl on the team, and my stomach hurts. See, when the pancakes hit your stomach, they feel like they expand, which makes you full faster and makes you feel sick. Either way, it was hilarious, and even though my stomach really hurts, it was awesome.

So, yesterday I had a cross country race, and I ran my best time ever-a 23:45. It was just such a good meet-the course is the fastest course in the state, and it was dry for once, and there were a whole bunch of hot boys teams there, which of course made our whole team go insane. XD Good day.

And then last weekend, I went to a cross country meet in New York. Not the whole team goes, since it's out of state, so it was fun. After the race, we went north to Canada and ran around Niagra Falls for half the night. At the hotel we got in trouble because we had a "rave" in a room with all the team members who went (no, there were no drugs involved in this "rave.") Got in trouble because we had boys in a room at 3 AM, but it was still pretty sweet. Then, the next morning, we went on this boat and went, well, basically white water rafting on the Niagra River (we were way upstream from the falls though.) We got soaked-it was so funny. They gave us these wool sweaters to wear, and this rain jumpsuit, and this poncho to wear to keep warm, since the water was slightly cold, but underneath that we just wore shorts and a t-shirt, since we knew we would get soaked. And we did get soaked, so it was a good thing we didn't wear something like jeans. Fun trip.

I'm starting the whole college search business, and I'm already a bit sick of it. I just don't know what I want from a school! And I'm sort of afraid that once I get there, I'll absolutely hate it! Grrr...

Other than that, nothing has happened in my life. No boyfriend, too much schoolwork, my friends are ignoring me because cross country is taking up so much of my time...Bit annoyed about that, but oh well. I'll get over it.

Still feel sick from those pancakes.

My room's a mess, and it's driving me crazy. THe thing is, I started cleaning it right after school let out for the summer, but then my great-grandma died and I had to stop for the funeral and stuff. Then, I started work, which took alot of time. When work was over, I went to camp. Then family vacations, and then school started. So basically I'm living in a room covered in junk, and it's driving me up the wall. I think if I could just get it cleaned up, I'd feel a lot better about life in general, but I just don't have time to clean it up! And because I'm such a packrat, the massive amount of stuff is just stopping me from doing it.

What's it called...some song that they play in that movei One Night in Roxbury just came on the radio-I think it's called What is Love. Some boys on cross country are obsessed with that song, so I heard it about 400 times yesterday, and then we actually watched the movie itself last weekend on the way home from New York. Weird movie, but this song just makes me laugh because I've got funny images in my head of the team dancing in the aisle of the bus to this song. I love cross country-they're like my second family. Too bad there's only 2 weeks left in the season. When'd we get this ? I've never seen that smiley face before! Guess I need to hang out here more-too bad I don't have time to. Ok, got to go-I've procrastinated long enough.

[Mel]

Well, I'm back from the party. It sort of sucked. You know how there are always those like couple of guys that seem to like to be destructive? Well, they were going crazy. Jello was flying (that wasn't so bad), but then they had a bull horn and the cops almost got called, then they threw rocks at the next door neighbor's house and he came out all angry and stuff.

Then two people started making out. *sighs* I remind all you people that this is eighth grade.

Well, one good aspect was that there were these three guys that dressed up as like Captain Underpants or something stupid like that, but it was sooo funny 'cause they were in like leggings and spongebob boxers and had capes and stuff. Reaallly funny stuff.

So then, finally the party ended (yay, I had a huuge headache, was wet, and was ready for it to go), and we went inside and watched some tv shows and played music videos all night long. Then today I had a class for 4 hours, and I was totally wrecked, and now we're watching the football games, so I'm ok now.

So, that's just another chronicle in the life of ME.

[Angel_Star]

Mel: Ewwwww kissing... I'm not sure where that came from, lol. Whenever any of my friends says something about guys, I say, "Boys are icckkky. They have cooooties." I'm totally joking, btw...in case that wasn't apparent. The one thing that I don't like about typing is that you can't always convey your tone correctly...whoa, off topic. Anyway. When I went ice skating with some friends, we saw these people making out right by the entrance to get on the ice...it was rather disturbing. *shudders*

I've had conversations with my neighbor about kissing. Rather interesting. I feel like I need to paint "never been kissed" on my forehead so he'll quit asking me about stuff. Whoa, you can get a lot from that. All I meant was that he's asked me twice about my relationship with my ex, and I explained in detail the first time.

Well, this guy had a party yesterday that I went to... I felt horrible. The kid invited 80+ people, and 30 said they would come. Four actually did, including me. I felt sooo bad for him. I mean, we're not close, or even all that friendly, but he's not like an awful person or anything.

But before that party, we had a meeting for the Gulf Coast mission trip that I'm going on with school. I gotta talk to the senior in charge of the worship to see if I can help out with that on the trip. We got to wander around the school hanging up posters for our spaghetti supper. We're raising money for all the mission trips.

Lesse...oh, we had a little birthday party for Shoe today at a pizza place. That was fun. I wore my boots. I <3 my boots. Ooo. Let me see if I can find a picture...clickie. So, yeah. They amuse me to no end. However, I fear that I must depart now, for I wish to go to bed early so I'll stop falling asleep in Bible...

[mythbusterfan]

WOOT! ok, this past weekend was absolutely amazing!!!

shanon, and i went to our homecoming football game witha buncha friends, and it was really cold so i lent shanon my jacket, and put my arms around her cause she was really cold. and our team lost about 28 to 34 or something like that then afterwards we all went over to perkins to eat. then they dropped me off at home.

then saturday was our homecoming dance (i went with shanon of course)and shanon and i and a couple of friends went to Olive Garden to eat.
i had chicken alfredo, and OMG IT WAS DELICIOUS!

then we got to the dance around 9:30ish and that went pretty well, considering all the music they played was rap and hiphop and no decent slow music...=P

but it was really nice.

i can't wait till prom.


and today now i have a health test 4th block so assuming anyone reads this before then, wish me luck. lol.

and that's all i can think of to post at the moment. so... dai everyone.

[the_peridexis]

Livvy! I haven't seen you here in so long! Where've you been all this time? I know what you mean about the time thing--it's what, Monday I think and it feels like Sunday. But that's probably just because today we didn't have school and so everything is just melting by like blurred candle wax...*sigh*

Ah, Hungry, you are amazing. :P 9 pancakes, was it? That is very cool, but I suppose the sick part isn't very exciting...your Niagra trip sounded amazing! I went there awhile ago (more like years ago) and I remember it really vividly. The Falls were gorgeous, weren't they? Did you get the chance to go to the butterfly conservatory? I was lucky enough to go, and a big sappire-winged one landed on my shoulder; it was lovely. I've been thinking about something, Hungry, and I was wondering if you'd think about giving me some advice on it; I'm not into sports very much, but I need to stay active somehow, (riding bikes can get rather boring after awhile)so do you think track would be an option? I'm not incredibly fit, mind you, and I'm not fat either, so I'm pretty sure I can handle it...but I'm not positive. Would track be a good choice for a beginner runner?

Sorry about your less-than-awesome party Mel; seeing people making out in public can be rather akward. And I know all about destructive guys, since I happen to have the incredible good luck *COUGH* to be in school with a buch of them. I think it gives them some strange kind of thrill...the phychology behind that kind of behavior might be interesting. *winkwink*

I agree completely, Angel; sometimes while online I mean to sound wry or sarcastic, but end up sounding completely mean. It's like *woopsies...* That's definently caused just a few arguments.XD See how the internet benefits our young lives so much? I feel sorry for the guy you were talking about; sometimes people can be be horribly inconsiderate.Those boots of yours though; 0_0 I want them! But they might not look very nice on me...oh well. Do you know that feeling, especially when you're out shopping? It's like o_o I WANT that dress...but I'd look horrible in it...but I still want it...yeah, it's a confuddling emotion. :P

And now that I've answered all you persons' posts, I will begin my rant: ahhhh! WHY are eighth graders suck jerks??? Every time I walk onto the bus, the first thing I hear is the eighties ridiculing the poor sevies. It gets very tiring, constantly telling the off, you know. No matter how many times I tell the stupid idiots that they were sevies three months ago, they just keep opening their moronic, demeaning mouths. Grrrrr...okay, that's my rant for now. I feel a little bit better.

SEAN! Wow, going for a 4.0 GPA...you poor thing. *huggles* Try to eat more, you'll feel better, really. As for the sleep...well, try your best but i understand perfectly if you can't...it's one of those thing that will constantly evade you if you go looking for it. And what's up with the sudden wanting for a kitten/puppy? Oh, that was a dumb question, nevermind. And I think I can give a guess at what the comment "stupid skirts" meant. Things'll get hard, maybe harder than they are now, but I think you'll get through it...with flying colors at the end, if I know you at all.

Okay, for no apperant reason I now have "Lips of an Angel" stuck in my head...weird...I wonder how many people will actually read that post?

-peri

[Angel_Star]

Oh, the boots don't look terribly great on me...lol. Not much does, but whatever. Yeah, whenever my friends and I go dress shopping, I see this amazing stuff, but...yeah. It's really annoying, 'cause it seems like most stuff is made for those people who are tall and skinny. I am neither, so nothing looks exactly right on me.

Clothes in general are just annoying.

My chemistry grade is sinking. I can tell what class I'm defintely going to be struggling in this whole year...though I'm sure Algebra 2 will be down there as well when my test grades get in.

I'm incredibly excited. For one of my friend's sweet sixteen, we're going to a play, and we get to dress up! Dresses make me happy. Another of my friends is having an actual dance for her sweet sixteen. I have to go dress shopping. I don't wanna wear the same dresses over and over again. Hehe...and it's a good excuse to get a new pretty dress.

I should probably go finish my homework. I actually don't have too much tonight, which is always a good thing.

[seabiscuit1009]

Wow Mel, your party sounded a lot like my homecoming! Lol, but we had a lot of that, and it's scary that those people are in eighth grade and acting like that...we corrupt the youth. Oh well.

Angel, those are hot boots. I now want them, but I'd never wear them so there'd be know point in buying them. XD I go for comfy shoes. I wore heels to homecoming and it killed my feet, so I think I'll stick to flats for now. Clothes are very annoying, but I have problems finding things for girls who are skinny and pretty tall for a girl. Haven't been shopping (for clothes) since June as a result. Hehe...sweet sixteens. I never went to one-everyone at school who had one didn't invite me, and now everyone is already 16 so that's not happening...hehe. I'm in a weird mood today.

Myth: I know what you mean about dances. I used to hate them, but then I went to homecoming this year and was like "when's snowball?" (snowball is the junior/senior winter dance at my school) So much fun, except for slow dances. Don't know how I made it to junior year without ever slow dancing. I guess it's just my mad skills (jk! I'm actually a horrible dancer.)

peri: THOSE BUTTERFLIES!!!! I went in there when I was 10 and went to Niagra Falls with my family, back before I became terrified of butterflies. Maybe it's because of that trip that I became scared of them. Yes, I'm afraid of butterflies. Don't laugh *laughs at self* They're just big, and the blue ones always flew in my face...I have issues I guess. Butterflies are not even scary in the least.

Also, I'd have to say that track can be a good choice for a beginning runner-I went into track freshmen year never having run more than about a mile in gym class, and it was great. If you think you can handle it (a lot of running is mental, surprisingly) you should try it. If you've got friends who run, or who'd be willing to do it with you, it makes it a lot more fun too. Even still, do it! Most people have fun even if they're new runners or not that good at running, just because runners in general are awesome people! (Yes, I'm biased-I love running, and some of the best people I've met are runners.)

peri: everything is just melting by like blurred candle wax...*sigh*

That sounds so cool...just had to say it. :P

rant coming here:

All day long, most things people said to me were complaints. I'm so sick of everyone just dumping their complaints on me at school! I had an awesome weekend, and I came to school ready to share that awesomeness and hopefully listen to other people's awesomenesses! I just want to tell my classmates to stop dumping on me about their lives, since really, most of the complaints were about events and problems that they've brought upon themselves. -end rant-

Cinnamon ice cream is good...too bad I ate the last of it earlier. Oh well...you know, if I had my drivers license, I could go get another carton...need to get on that, and take the test preferably before winter gets here, because I hear it's a lot harder to take the test in the winter.
