  • My tan is fading! *sobs* Naw, I really don't care. I went bowling with a bunch of friends yesterday, and I was one of the darkest ones there. I was very amused. Usually, I'm the pale one, but I wasn't this time! Muahaha! I bowled an 84 the first game and an 102 the second. That's pretty good for me.

    I babysat last night for the same family. It wasn't nearly as difficult as before. After convincing T that his mommy would wake him up when she got home to give him a kiss, he went on to bed at eight thirty, then B went to bed a bit before nine thirty after complimenting my colorful nail polish. When I get bored, I paint my nails. I did that a lot last summer. I really need to redo mine now... *clucks dissapprovingly* They look horrid, but apparently B liked the colorfulness. C stayed asleep the entire time, much to my infinite relief.

    I'm wearing my shirt that I got in Florida. It shrank in the dryer. It's still huge. *sigh* It's not as bad as some of my other shirts. I have one that completely covers my shorts. That is annoying. This one only covers my shorts about half-way.

    I mentioned my old Spanish teacher's blog a while ago...well, three people got blogs because of it, all from his old 5th period (me included). I find that to be very amusing. Mr. C's fifth period will take over the world. We will dominate! Muahaha! Well, my friend E got a blog too, but she didn't even have Mr. C, so she doesn't count.

    I could never be a doctor. While I'm not totally freaked out by blood and stuff, it does make me very uncomfortable. *recalls a certain incident* In Biology, my friend broke a glass stirrer thingum, and the glass cut her hand rather deeply. She was just staring at it, and Lovey (to those who remember her) just laughed...so I kinda got a little agitated, and was trying to find the teacher, 'cause she definitely needed to get to the nurse. She ended up getting stitches. Apparently, my face went completely white, though I think they were exaggerating. I didn't feel sick or anything, I was just upset that nobody was doing anything. Meh.

    I wanted to be a vet when I was little. No way would that ever work out.

    A psychologist or anything like that...couldn't do that either. I have enough problems of my own. I'm also not a very people-person, though I do think I have a lot of empathy. Okay, this might sound kind of stupid...but you know how in some books that, say, you have to read for class, and there are people who make fun of the characters for things they do in the story and think the book's stupid? Well, I generally like those stories and can place myself in the character's shoes. I dunno. I generally like the books that nobody else in my class does. Then there are some people who can never look past their own beliefs and their own lives. I don't understand how people can not see the world through the eyes of others. I don't know...maybe the whole "others first" thing was really drilled into my brain while I was little. I mean, I don't always agree with people, and I certainly have my own opinions on things, but I can usually see where people are coming from and understand why they do things or believe things. Whoa...that went on longer than I meant to, and sorry if it didn't make much sense.

    Speech pathology is a type of therapy, but not emotional, so it wouldn't be as much of a strain...or maybe not, because many of the people who would need speech therapy would probably have other needs, too. And while you wouldn't be necessarily dealing with those needs, you would still feel them. It's still a straining job, just maybe not as much so.

    I'm rather tired at the moment. I stayed up until three reading DW. Well, finishing SYWTBAW and starting DW. Because of my vacation, I got all behind in the reading. I stayed up until two the night before last reading SYWTBAW. This is going to catch up with me big time if I don't start going to bed at a decent hour. I don't think I've gone to bed before midnight in a week.

    Did I already say that I started voice lessons? Well, the lady's really nice, and even though I've only gone once, she's really helpful. So... I would be placed as an alto, 'cause I can hit the notes...below the C? I derno. But I have "the clarity of a soprano" (I think that's how she put it), and I can hit a number of the rather high notes. So, she said that if I get into Chamber Choir, she wants me to sing 2nd soprano to get more practice with the higher notes. I doubt I'll get in, though, 'cause I can't sight sing.

    I'm going with a friend on a trip to Michigan. We're going up to a cabin by a lake somewhere in the tippy top. I'm assuming the tippy top (lol), because it's a twelve hour drive. Should be fun. The trip, not the car ride. She has two sisters, one who's gonna be a senior in high school, the other who's gonna be in first grade. Big gap. We'll be gone for a little over a week. I get two vacations! lol.

    Wow. I rambled a lot.

    • Hmm, you know, I don't think I would mind too much about being a psychologist. I thinks that I'm a people-person, at least most of the time, but I dunno. Some people I just can't understand, and I feel like turnin me skiv on.

      ....not that I own a skiv..heh heh...

      Sorry, I just finished a faboolus book called The Curse of the Blue Tattoo. It was mighty amusing. Has anyone ever hearad of the Bloody Jack Adventures? Amazing stuff, they are. Mighty amazing. I just love pirates and heroes and girls who won't let the world keep 'em down, even when they're orphaned an' thrown in the streets. They just pick 'emselves up, disguise themselves as guys, and board the British Navy ships to become famous across the seas. Woot!

      Speaking of beloved pirates, is anyone else like out of their minds in waiting for Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest ? I seriously can't wait until Monday!! *smiles giddily* (Ok, techincally, it came out today, but I'm seing it with me hearties then).

      Well, me shipmates, I'm going to go search for the other manuscripts of me dear series, and if I fail, I'll continues on readin me other Pyrate bookie.

      Book ahoy!
      just let your heart take over and sign with a flourish

      • I read The Curse of the Blue Tattoo a while ago. Can't remember when...but it was a good book. I liked it lots.

        Lovely. My ex is confusing me. I started talking to him, trying to convince him to come to our Bible studies, and now he's saying things that make no sense. *sigh* Why did I bother?

        I should probably get offline and get ready for bed. Of course, I won't actually go to bed, just get in my bed and read until the wee hours of the morning as usual, but whatever. I really don't feel like getting offline just yet.

        Now he's talking about basketball. Looovely. More stuff that I don't understand.

        My brother has more of a social life than me. He does something almost every day, whether it be swim lessons or whatnot, and today he went to his friend's birthday party.

          • Oooh, I love the Bloody Jack books. The third one came out a while ago, Under the Jolly Roger. I bought it when we left for spring break, hoping it'd be enough to keep me occupied while we were travelling... not so. Lasted... ohh... probably for the flight there, and then I finished it in the 10 minute bus ride over to the rental car place. And then I had to start on the rest of my book stockpile. The unfortunate thing about good books is that they go fast.

            Uhhh, Slash, I don't want to nag, but maybe you could try to include a little substance in your posts? I mean, I know it's asking a lot, but it'd be very nice. I mean, remember, DD pays for this stuff out of her own pocket, and I highly doubt that she finds your toenails and your navel as hilarious as you obviously do. Pretty please? Let's work on substance, shall we?

            Have fun on your trip, Angel_Star! And good luck with the singing lessons. I wish I could sing... I can sing... uhh... a few songs. The Chemical Worker's Song, and most of the songs from The Little Mermaid. Other than that? Pfft. My voice can shatter glass.

            And exes are always confusing. Okay, maybe not always. But it sounds good to say that. Hope everything works out. *huggles*

            My brother's always really upset because I have a better social life than him. Then I remind him that my social life is virtual, and I don't actually know half the people I'm friends with. Then he feels better. I swear, my part-time job is boosting his ego. You'd think with all the college frat parties and whatnot, he'd have a life. Oh, wait. My brother's a geek. Oh, wait. I'm a geek! Somebody help me.

            • i'm a bit of a geek too...let's start a club, i'm sure there are others!! and my sister consoles herself(she's a geek too, but worse off than me, cuz she's boring)by typing away at her computer all day. me? i flaunt my geekiness! we WILL rule the world one day you know...we're too smart not too. how does one begin world domination? ahh, i know! *contemplates taking over starbucks*

              • *waves raised hand and shouts* can I join the club?? (not that i really wish to rule e world) i mean, i'm a geek too, alright?? cos everyone (i mean.... almost) complains to me abt being caught up in the books to go out and "have fun" - which to me a little waste of money (that's the main resaon, together with bein a little lazy to go out *heehee*). and they sorta bet on me bringing a book out wherever and whenever i go out.. LoL.. the one who bets that always win though.... oh!! and something else contributes to this fact.... I'm a librarian in the school library!!!!

                Geeks will rule the world!! All because we flaunt <span class="ev_code_WHITE">'smart-cells'</span>
                -peri: how about REALLY taking over starbucks first????

                • Peridexis? I hate to point it out, but just about all of us here are geeks. (No offense meant, of course.) Heh...

                  Oh God, not the Tomatoes! My garden is RUINED!! AHHHHHHH


                  Ok, enough of that sillyness.
                  I believe another Bloody Jack book should be coming out soon, but I could be mistaken. I think its just rumor, but apparently he's thinking about it. I'll research it.*researches* Ah, yes. "In the Belly of the Bloodhound" should be published in October 2006. Woot! Apparently The Bloodhound is a slaver, and guess who's locked in the hold on the way to the auction block. Fweesh.

                  Angel: Exes. fweesh. again.

                  Social Lives: I'd say my brothers are certainly busier, but that doesn't mean they have more a social life (which is probably true anyway), it just means they are less bored than me and my friends, have money, jobs, and/or possibly cars. I'm not old enough for a job (a year or two. prolly the latter. great.) Money? What's that? And car's I'm not even going to think about yet.

                  In other news, my friend is at that Johns Hopkins camp. I think she's having fun, but she also prolly hates a little too. What really sucks is when she gets back, three days later is her birthday, and she gets to go to the orthodontist. Oh, how much fun.

                  Well, since I've been falling out of excersise ecouse of lack of being able to do much of anything, I'm gonna play DDR. I could use to lose a few pounds.

                  L8r my friendly g8rs. (or as me friend B, would say, cheese g8rs. hah)

                  bye!!

                  • Oh, oh! I'm a geek! Pick me! *jumps up and down* I get told I'm a nerd, geek, freak, antisocial...wait, I'm quoting the shirt. It's an amazing shirt. "You may call us nerds, geeks, freaks, dweebs, hippies, weirdoes, antisocial, loonies, eccentrics, dorks, etc. But someday, we will rule you!"

                    See? It's amazing.

                    I've had friends tell me that I have a nice voice, but my mom keeps me grounded with a "you're okay." Aren't parents supposed to be the ones telling you how wonderful you are? lol. It's really just something I do for fun. I'm constantly listening to music, and usually singing along.

                    AH! MY FRIENDS ARE LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE! Well, some, anyway. Four of my friends are turning sixteen in the next couple of months. *growl* I'll be fifteen. *moans* Soooo not fair! I complain too much, yesh, I know.

                    Hey, look, it's my doggy. Hello, doggy. You are a very sleepy doggy, yesh you are.

                    I'm gonna go eat lunch. I skipped breakfast, 'cause I only woke up an hour ago. I'm hungry.

                    • Wow... It's been a while since I last posted in here. It was... May? The first of May. Well. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss school. Well, not the work, of course.

                      Hey, Peri, can I help you take over the world? I can plan the domination of Abercrombie, or MTV. This will be fun...

                      My little brother is watching "Danny Phantom." It's... interesting. Yeah... I'm changing the channel. Nothing's on... TV go byebye.

                      I have a new shirt, and I think it describes me. It says, "Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting" Yup, that's me.

                      Now I'm going to the pool. For the 18,000,000,000th time this summer. Kinda short... Oh well. Dai~Olivia

                      • ooh oooh me me!

                        I could probably scare off some of this forum with geekiness

                        And I do too have a social life...what you don't call your robotics team a social life . And talking to other geeks from school online through gmail? Oh, then what about people online? They're not all geeks...ok maybe they are...and they don't count either because they're virtual. Ok then, maybe I don't have a social life.

                        Yeah, robotics and online, thats all I have for a social life.

                        You'd think with all the college frat parties and whatnot, he'd have a life. Oh, wait. My brother's a geek. Oh, wait. I'm a geek! Somebody help me.
                        frat parties? You mean that there are some sort of parties other than LAN parties and anti-prom parties? Wow... thats news. (Only not because I know one person who's in a frat...and yes, with knowing alot of college students, probably 30+ through robotics and 30+ through SFS (science fiction society if you want to know) there's only one frat member.

                        Then again there is a frat which is known by the social crowd (read: I don't know how I know this..oh yeah I do, its people in my classes who were mad at us high schoolers for existing and beating them) to have parties being everyone sitting around with laptops programming.

                        Oh geekiness how I <3 you.

                        Anyways, I had a few quotes from me to amuse you. These were all said without thought.

                        [On walking back and forth trying to get laundry done, because I'm walking without shoes on] "I feel like a hobbit...other than hobbits don't travel much, in fact they travel no farther than the nearest pub, other than of course Bilbo, Frodo and such."

                        [about 2 minutes later] "I wonder how far I've walked...lets see normal walking speed is 4 miles per hour. It takes 3 minutes to get from side of hotel to other...and this is my 10th time walking it...wow I've walked 2 miles?!"

                        [On giving parents directions in hotel] "Turn right at Gaelhawks, then walk until you pass SPAM, then turn left. Then you'll see the pool...oh wait, I meant to say 230 then 180...you don't know the names. Oops"

                        [Now that I just got home] wandering around...looks at box of zipties "OH WOW, ITS A REUSABLE ZIP TIE! THATS SO COOL!"

                        [While eating at a restaurant] "This alfredo sauce has really low specific heat..."

                        [While kayaking, thinking of a time we kayaked a few years ago] "The torque would be really high depending as to where the boat was rotating around...Why didn't they just untie my boat? It'd be so much more energy efficient, all the force output would be in the forward direction then..."

                        [to my sister who broke her key into the room] "How many times did I have to tell you? You can't store the key in the same place as your cell phone. The electronics will interfere with the magnets because electicity and magneticism are basically the same thing, so by keeping them together you change the magnetic field on the key card and it'll..."[cut off by sister who's ready to attack me]

                        [while walking around P-Town] "Wow, I just realized over half my (even-halfway) normally warn shirts are ones I got from robotics for free...I have a 2k4 team shirt, 2k5 team shirt, vex shirt (from 2k5), 2k5 savage soccer shirt, 2k5 robonautica shirt, two 2k6 team shirts, a 2k6 battlecry shirt...at least...The only other shirst I wear normally are 3 or 4 life is good shirts and 5 turtle t-shirts."

                        [Said while kayaking (for the almost millionth time now)] "My kayak's same of same plastic as our robot!"


                        I'll add a few more, but I need to go find powercord first.

                        Oh, and if you really wanted to take over the world you'd know the internet's where you need to start. I mean, seriously, first off you'd get all the geeks to help, then you'd get people who don't know anything confused and would pay you easily. Then you'd do geeky work, and could take over.
                        We will remember you PM. And your little GingerBear.

                        • I would shoot you, Tuttle, if I weren't nonviolent. And if I had something to shoot you with. I don't even have bloody water guns. And if I was close enough to do so. And if I actually cared to do so.

                          We're all geeky here.

                          Driving is fun. Weaving and dodging and speeding, oh my! Actually, I should probably not mention that for fear of Ariel smacking me upside the head.

                          Mel - JHU Center for Talented Youth Camp, for three weeks?

                          Peridexis - Psh, you try taking over Starbucks, whereas I will just mind control the world leaders, thank you very much.

                          Dee - Substance? What's that?

                          Angel_Star - We all have problems...but amusingly, the empathy that you just mentioned in your earlier post is exactly what shrinks need the most of. Very few people can do what you can and see the world through others' eyes easily, so amusingly, you qualify more than most people.

                          On a separate note, LAN parties rock. Haven't had one in awhile, but they still rock.

                          • Uuuuummmm, shooting people is a no-no. I haven't had a water gun since...an eternity ago. My li'l bro has water guns. I found them to be too much of a hassle to deal with. *ish lazy*

                            Let's see, what would I take over...nah, that's not my style. I'm more the type to watch - and laugh. It's really fun. You should try it some time.

                            I was mentioning to a friend how two people in the "posse" would look really cute together, and he told me no plotting. I then informed him that it was not I who was doing the plotting, I was merely watching and laughing. I am no meddler in the affairs of lovers. (That sounded weird... *blink) I don't like getting blamed when things go wrong. Not that I ever _have_, but I never want to.

                            My mom was a social worker. I say "was" because she's not working at the moment, and I'm not sure if she wants to go back to social work. But anyway, she told me that she'd never let me go into it 'cause it's too much work for too little pay, and that she'd always bring her client's troubles home with her. She felt like she might as well have gone into counseling or something.

                            I guess if it's something you love, it doesn't matter about the strain of the job. But it wasn't what she liked. She cared for the people, and felt bad for them. I think she always wanted to do more for them, but couldn't.

                            While I can empathize, I can also be judgemental. Not as much as some, but still. *sigh* You'd think that a Christian school would teach not to judge, but instead, it's the opposite. The views presented to us are so judgemental of people, it's sickening. I'm not going to say that the views are forced on us, 'cause you can't really force somebody to behave or believe a certain way. Some of my teachers can get me so angry with their self-righteous attitudes that I just want to get up and leave. Of course, I don't generally speak up. I probably should, but I don't.

                            What really gets me upset though, is when my friends start saying stuff that's incredibly...aggravating. I guess it might have something to do with the political divider, considering that there are maybe ten democrats for every one hundred republicans at my school. Or maybe it's more the financial line the school draws between itself and others, because all of the students have to have families who can afford the tuition, which, while it isn't the most expensive in the area, isn't cheap. Just comments that aggravate me. They aren't really things that affect me, but it still gets me upset that some of my friends seem to think that they are somehow better than people in different situations. People are people. Christians are supposed to love people, not judge them.

                            Whoops, didn't mean to get into all that.

                            I have too many windows open. I'm getting confused. Six. No, seven.

                            Gracious, I'm tired. I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open. Maybe I really do need to get to bed on time... It's only 3:50, but I feel like I've been up for an eternity.

                            • Angel_star: You should tell off some of those teachers one day...I've had some awfully ignorant Sunday school teachers before (one of them told us--when I was in fifth grade--that Muslims worshiped the devil. I got really mad and told her off). Although there can be consequences, I believe it's worth it to knock 'em down a peg.

                                Uuuuummmm, shooting people is a no-no. I haven't had a water gun since...an eternity ago. My li'l bro has water guns. I found them to be too much of a hassle to deal with. *ish lazy*
