"Electricity from these turbines is fed into the local utility grid"... Woah, what?

BeforeSchool: Ate my Lucky Charms again! And worked some more on Jesse's letter. Erika gave me another pair of those awesome sunglasses. :D
AcademicPrep: Finished the Reading section of the 4Sight test. I love those chairs!
FirstPeriod: I have to find a current event article tonight that's no more than 5 days old. We talked about how the Jews wanted to move back into Palestine and the Balfour Declaration... Yeah, I pay attention. :)
SecondPeriod: Aha. So we play the first song and are pretty good, the next song we play changes meter every other measure, and the next song we "forgot how to count". We still sounded pretty good.
Lunch: Joel and Alex like to play Would You Rather. Gabby and I like to listen. :)
ThirdPeriod: Miss Acri left early, so we watched the movie of A Doll's House. The part we watched before class ended was so funny. Those are some bad actors... haha.
FourthPeriod: I'm here now. :) I turned in my business card and flier, and am now working on a worksheet about wind energy. As you can tell from the subject of this entry, I don't understand what I'm reading. Haha.

I'm a little tired, not too much. This morning I was really awake. I think if I fall asleep before 11 at night, I'm good for the next day. Apparently I can operate on 7 hours of sleep. :)
When I get home, I have to find that current event article, finish my essay for Global, finish a few more notes for the class, and write my last journal entry for Wuthering Heights. I finished the book last night- I'm so happy. :D It wasn't that bad; it was actually pretty good. But it was just so boring and confusing at the beginning.

I guess I need to go finish this worksheet now. :)

xoxo, me.

Changing my ways?

BeforeSchool: I woke up, ate Lucky Charms, and ended up with about 20 minutes to kill. So I continued Jesse's letter. Aha, that text was so funny. "Oh, well, she's super beautiful." :)
AcademicPrep: Stupid 4Sight test. It actually wasn't that bad, I think I might have answered all of them right. But I think the point of the test is just so ridiculous. The school should already know what they should teach to students; why do we need to take a "pretest" to the PSSA's, to humiliate the students and the teachers? But, I was in a good mood. :)
FirstPeriod: The first half of class I was in my good mood. Then it started to fade. :/ I don't see why Mr. Carl piles loads of work on us.
SecondPeriod: Another relaxing day. I forgot to get the non-existant DVD. Oops.
Lunch: :) Pretty funny.
ThirdPeriod: Dang. Miss Acri doesn't mind calling people out in class and making a scene... ha. OH MY GOD. I'm so upset! She's such a harsh grader! I got a 37/50 on my test (Well, now it's 37/48), and some of the ones I lost points on, I had the same answer that she had read off the paper! Now I think I might have dropped down to a B, like in Global. Of course, I don't know, since he doesn't upload grades...
FourthPeriod: We showed our video, and I presented my poster. We learned how to make business cards, and James was being ignorant and chewing his gum right at my ear. Mrs. Guise pulled me out to talk about possible career and college plans. Yay. :/

"Who would you rather marry: Erika, or Madi? And whoever you don't choose, they have to die." -Joel
"That's so mean!" -Gabby
"Uh... Madi." -Alex
"Bye, Erika! I'll miss you!" -Me
"Yeah, I'll send you texts!" -Gabby
"What? Alright, I'll reply later." -Erika
"No, you won't." -Me.

"Hey! Where did you come from?" -Gabby
"Mrs. Guise's room. She pulled me out of Intro To Tech." -Me
"Ohh... Did you have fun?" -Gabby
"Oh, definitely. We played games and had such a great time!" -Me

So I need to read a little less than half of Wuthering Heights tonight, and write a journal entry about halfway through that. And I need to take notes for Global, and work on the essay that's due Wednesday. Yay...
I love my mom. Just want to throw that out there.
:)

Mar. 22nd, 2009

Updates. :(

Alright, it's been awhile since I've posted anything. So I better do it now before it's too late.


Remmy:
March 17th, late at night, they took her off of life support. It was up to her own self to start breathing again. Around 3 or 4 in the morning, Paikea (Remmy's cousin) called Saoirse (Remmy's other cousin) and told her to come to the hospital. Apparently, Remmy had woken up after they took her off life support and called for the nurse. The nurse came in, thought it was Paikea, blahblahblah, Remmy was alive and awake. She stayed in the hospital to get the nutrients she needed, but didn't fall back into such a heavy stupor. March 21st Remmy was back online; she posted a new photo, thanked everyone for their prayers. I talked to her for a good portion of the day.
March 22nd, today, I went on Saoirse's profile, and read this: i'm not sure what today is, except sunday. erhm. i'm texting pai. she said in the middle of the night she went to go get some food since remmy was sleeping and everything. but then when she was gone, remmy apparently started barfing up blood, and now she's like really delirious, she keeps singing like weird song lyrics and then crying and stuff. it's kind of a let down. she was supposed to go home soon and everything was going so well :/ LATER: i'm just going to post the text that pai just sent me. "wow, in the past few hours it's just been like an epic downfall. she is superrr pale, and there is like little bits of blood coming out of her nose. and she is weezing again, and shaking really violently. right now she's like singing bohemian rhapsody, and her eyes are all huge and she's staring at like nothing. oh, now she started crying. i'm trying to get her attention but it's like she doesn't know who i am.
" looks like it's time to get the prayer bandwagon together again :/
:( This is such a huge disappointment. Remmy was looking at a full recovery, and now... she isn't. It's very scary- Saoirse was saying that they don't know what to expect, and how many more times this will happen.

Please keep praying for Remmy. She needs it again, and hopefully that miracle will come once again.


Paige:
I have another friend, Paige, who lives down in Maryland. She's been through some rough times in her life, and has always had a history of bad health. A brief overview is that she bruises easily, can't stand for more than 15 minutes, and will pass out/faint if she doesn't sit down or get the fluids she needs. March 20th I was talking to her- it was just another normal day. She doesn't like any of the doctors she's seen, because they all don't know what's wrong, or what to fix. Her parents had been really rough on her, saying that they don't believe anything she says now, that they think she's a slut, that she does drugs (someone put a bottle of pills in her mailbox the other day, but she doesn't do drugs), and that she's just a bad kid. Which she's not. She was hoping to go to her aunt's house, because her aunt had been through some similar health situations and was the only one in her family who truly supported her. Paige couldn't go to her aunt's house, so she was stuck at home. March 21st, before Erika's party, I see a new friend request from a girl named Brittany, whose status says "friends of paige- read".
So I accept Brittany (Paige had told us that if her health got worse and needed to go to the hospital, she'd have a friend make an account), and read this: for those of you that don't know what happened, this was all that paige told us. she went for a walk and some guy attacked her. she knows who it is. he was trying to rip her clothes off, but she was struggling to much. he had a knife and ended up cutting into her thigh, and she ended up punching him in the nose and running. she hid. he found her. she ran. she felt ill and collapsed. luckily he didn't find her. but she refused to go back to her house, and swam a short distance in the reservoir and came to my house.
Such a horrible thing to happen to Paige. So when I got home from Erika's party, I found that Brittany had sent me a comment, but it wasn't her- Paige had snuck on to her account. She told me exactly what happened, told me the guy wasn't the ex-sex-offender everyone thought it was (I guessed who it was, and was right), and insisted on not going to the hospital. She had been there before, and was tired of people saying they knew what to do, when it didn't help her at all. I was the only one she told, and I'm so very grateful she trusted me with all this. I'm glad she came to me, instead of keeping it all inside of her. March 22nd, today, I started talking to Brittany again. She read the comments me and Paige had sent to her each other, and realized who it was. Um, I can't remember much... Oh.
Either before or after I talked to Paige, here is another update from Brittany: paige was doing better, but last night she seemed to worsen again. she was screaming in her sleep, which didn't frighten us to much. but then later, she started convulsing again. we didn't notice for a while, which my mom said is very dangerous for her health. we think she might have hit her head when she collapsed, which would cause what's going on. she's still wavering in the idea. hopefully we can convince her, so we can find a way to stop it.
So Brittany and her mom were helping Paige to get better, because her mom is a nurse. But they finally insisted on taking Paige to the hospital, and she agreed. For the past few hours, she's been admitted into the hospital, and was having blood tests done and scans and all that.
A few minutes ago, this is the update Brittany posted from the hospital: PAIGE PROBABLY HAS A CONTUSION IN HER BRAIN. they checked out her head, and think she has a contusion. this can be life threatening. they said she's okay, for now. but in a few days, her brain will swell. this will cause possible memory loss, inability to function, focus, etc.


Things are so stressful right now. For both Remmy, and Paige, but also for me.
Both are such wonderful, amazing girls- why should their lives be at stake right now?
Please keep praying. They are in desperate need of them right now.


PS: Saoirse just gave me an update- i have no idea. but like an hour ago she had this really bad seizure, or maybe it was just convulsions, i don't really know, anyways she started bleeding from her nose again, and pai said she actually like became herself and was like talking about how much pain she was in or something, but then she passed out. i guess that means she could function like herself soon.




Please pray, okay? It's very easy to do, and takes very little time. We just need the thoughts coming from everywhere and as many people as possible.

Thank you.


xoxo,
Amanda.

Mar. 21st, 2009

Oh, we're halfway there, woah-oh! Living on a prayer!

Ah, tonight was so fun!
We held a surprise 16th birthday party for Erika at this place over in Lancaster. If you didn't know, Lancaster is the "Amish country", and it's SO beautiful there. I wish it didn't take that long to go there. Anyways.
Maybe 15, 30 minutes after we got there, Erika showed up. It wasn't much of a surprise- when we first got the invitations, Emily let it slip out to Erika by accident. She said hi to everyone, and then we had dinner. TACOS! Yum. And fruit shish-ka-bobs. They were yum. :) After that her aunt had made a DVD of photos from Erika's birth to now; she was so cute! And then there were photos from our parties, and of COURSE the picture of us wearing the mustaches and Em's green hair was in there. Haha. ;)
The DJ got us up to play a game, and after that we started dancing. It was a little awkward- Erika's mother invited her friends from church over, but they don't really listen to music; she said they listen to hymns, and that's about it. So while we were dancing to and singing "Baby Got Back", they were standing off to the side...awkwardly. :/
We ate cake, then requested a whole bunch of songs and danced to them. That's basically what we did the rest of the night; we played limbo once, but the music was constantly playing and we were dancing all night. It got so hot inside that the windows fogged up, HAHA. We went outside a few times to cool off. Emily had to go call her mom and tell her what time it was over, so we were standing outside and I was dancing up and along the sidewalk. That was fun. :)
Erika didn't get to open her gifts, but I really hope she likes it. I think she will. She'll appreciate pretty much everything. :)

I've had to keep this a secret so long. Thursday in school, when I uploaded the entry, I had put at the bottom plans for the weekend, including this. Emily read it, and told me I might want to take it off, just in case Erika would read it. It wasn't much of a surprise to her, but I don't think she expected it to be as big as it was. :)

Her birthday is the 25th, so... Happy early birthday, girl.
<3

Speaking my mind.

Is there anyone you'd like to fix things with?
I don't know. Maybe it was meant to be. But I'm tired of playing the good guy- if she wants things to be better, she's fixing them first.


Do you have something to say to someone?
I'm tired of all this- I'm not worrying about it anymore, because it appears as if you don't either.


Is there anyone you regret hurting?
No, because she's hurt me too.


I believe I'm done playing these little games and believing lies.


PS: Thanks to Caroline for yelling at me to listen to this band. I love them now. :)

Crying over a Disney movie.

Last night (and this morning) was so fun! When I got there, I felt kind of out of it- everyone was yelling stories across the table to one another, and I barely knew what they were talking about. Once we went downstairs, though, I was fine. Gabby opened her gifts, and then we watched High School Musical 3. HAHA. "I love you, Wildcat..." "HAHA!" Madi was a leeeetle hyper last night. ;) Then we raided the kitchen around midnight and ate some awesome cupcakes with rings and had ice cream. We're wearing the rings to school Monday. Only 6 of us were there then, because some left early, so we looked up Truth or Dares, but couldn't find anything. So then we searched for Would You Rathers... HAHA. Those were hilarious. And creepy... Ew. Anyway. After that, we put in Step Up 2, watched that (well, Erika, Natasha and I stayed up), and then turned MTV on. I think we fell asleep at like, 4...? And then we woke up around 8 and listened to Gabby's mom make breakfast, ha. It smelled yummy, and tasted even better. :D

Awww. :/
So I saw HSM3 in theaters, but on the DVD, they had this bonus features thingy where they interviewed to the cast and talked about how it was their last time together and all that. It was so sad- we almost started crying. It was depressing to watch, especially with your friends sitting right beside you who might be leaving you in 2 years! :(
It reminded me of when we were at musical and talking about colleges...

I don't want to split apart friendships. :/

Mar. 19th, 2009

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her...

beforeschool: Got up without mom yelling at me. :P Hehe.
firstperiod: Took the 26:1 quiz today- I got an 8/11. Which is a 72%. :( That's not going to help me keep my A for the marking period...
secondperiod: Wow, we're actually sounding really good. That new song sounds awesome. Ms. Bollinger sat beside me today, since she was playing the flute. :) And Mr. Martini asked a question, and I got it right. :) Hehe.
thirdperiod: Took the SAT vocab test- I think I got a 100%. It was pretty easy. Then we read the rest of the period. Ha- Miss Acri actually thought I wanted to do grammar. :D
fourthperiod: I'm in here right nowwww! Teehee. Allison and I just finished our movie- I think it's pretty cool, eh? So we're presenting that and then I have to show my poster today, if we have time. Cool! :)

I've been in a really good mood all day. Maybe it's because it's a half day...? I dunno. I'm cheery, so that's good.
When I get home, I'm making lunch for myself and probably Ryan. Then I'm reading a little, and I'll probably put some things away in my room. I need to finish editing my first chapter and send it to Saoirse, so she can read it to Remmy the next time she's awake. :) Then, I'm preparing Gabby and Allison's gifts, and packing for tonight!
^^ Yeah. Tonight Gabby is having a sleepover, mainly for her birthday. But I haven't been able to give Allison her gift yet, so I'm bringing hers tonight also.

Tonight shall be great. :)

Mar. 18th, 2009

My heart is racing.

Okay, I'm totally not supposed to be on here (mother's wishes). But I could not resist this.



THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! <3
I swear, I'm about to go outside and jump for joy or something!

Saoirse: "i'll try to act calm, cool and collected, but.......i can't! it's just too great! ok. so. last night was paikea's night to sleep at the hospital. i had just dozed off around 3 or 4 sometime. then, i got this phone call. originally i didn't want to answer it cause i thought it would be bad. but then paikea yelled at me to get my arse down to the hospital. so i got there as quick as possible. here's what happened; paikea was dozing off, and then all of a sudden this nurse came in. she was staring at paikea for a really long time so paikea was like 'uh, can i help you?' and she said 'well, you called me in here...' and then remmy's eyes opened, and she sort of mumbled 'i have to pisssss' and then a while later she opened her eyes again and said 'i'm famished. anyone care for some tofu?' the nurse started screaming, because apparently she thought remmy had woken up from the dead. ahh, this is great! she sort of fell back into unconsciousness, but she is getting her nutrients now. this is such a happy day. happy happy happy. thank you guys sooooo flipping much. all these prayers, they have to stand for something (: god bless ALL of you, specially paige who made a beautiful make a difference sight dedicated to remmy (: i love you all.
"



Holy shitters.

I'm so happy right now.


PS: Keep praying, please. She still needs to get better and out of the hospital, but being awake and getting nutrients is just so wonderful.
<3

Daydreaming in class...

beforeschool: I got ready in 10 minutes; don't know why my mom flipped out on me. I didn't miss my bus or anything!
academicprep: I finished my Muhammad book, and then went on random sites. Mom sent me a reply of my email to the account I used yesterday, but since there was no link attached, or because it was from AIM and not the MailCatch file thing, I couldn't read it...? I don't know. I have to wait until I get home to read it.
firstperiod: Talked about what exactly is happening over in Iraq and Iran. Mr. Carl gave us some inside secrets that the public will hide from us in the very near future...
secondperiod: Sat around since I finished my testing Monday. I read over the newsletter, and then talked with my friends. That teacher was a creeper! Eww.
lunch: Outcasted, again. Listened to Joel, Anand, Joey, and Alex talk. Allison participated in their cracker challenge; it's not that hard, boys... lol.
thirdperiod: Read Wuthering Heights before lunch, and then did more grammar when we came back. Our test on the SAT words is tomorrow.
fourthperiod: Hehe, I'm typing this in here now. :) Nothing much- I tried working on my poster, but the printer doesn't use color, so I'm waiting until I get home to print and put my poster together.

I'm still worried about Remmy. I (obviously) didn't check Sugarloot this morning, and the school blocks that, Facebook, and MySpace, so I couldn't see if anyone had an update. I'm nervous to come home, but I got to stay strong- she would have wanted me too.
:'(

Mar. 17th, 2009

We need answers; why do the good things in life fade so quickly?

beforeschool: Did not want to wake up. My first thought was of Remmy. :/
academicprep: Emily and I were in the same room; we were on the computers the whole time. "Horton hears a who! Oh, wait..."
firstperiod: Finished our ABC thingy, then presented. I don't see how we're limited to one piece of paper next time...
secondperiod: Went pretty well. We're getting better.
lunch: I still don't see how Emily thought I meant something when she said to "put a cork in it"... Wow. Lmfao.
thirdperiod: Grammar, yay! Haha. I feel special- I didn't take Latin, but I did just as good as the Latin students did on the self quiz.
fourthperiod: We're almost done our video. We'll finish with the sound tomorrow. I guess I need to work on printing things out tonight for my poster.

I miss Remmy. I want to talk to her at least one more time. This is so unfair, things shouldn't end like this.
:(

Mar. 16th, 2009

Here comes the start of every sleepless night...

I'm praying. I'm crying. I'm hoping. I'm wishing. I'm dreaming.
:(
Keep fighting, Remmy. <3


This song is so sad...


Why does it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and you're left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye

High School Musical jumps are the best.

beforeschool: Dad was home because he took off. :P Woke up early-ish.
academicprep: All the sophomores went to the cafeteria since the juniors had PSSA's and the freshmen were taking their 4Sight test. Sat at a crowded table with my peeps. :)
firstperiod: Haha, we got him to talk to us for at least half an hour. Mr. Carl told us about how the statistics work for who will succeed in college and in the work force. ...Yay.
secondperiod: Watched our concert from Friday night. Kylie and I got our singing-testing over with.
lunch: HAHA, oh my God. I can't believe they didn't realize Miss Jackie was behind us watching them fight over the chair. Anand didn't get a water bottle today. :/
thirdperiod: Worked in grammar before lunch, and then after lunch we took the Doll's House test. I think I did okay... There was one quote I wasn't sure who said it, so if I got that person wrong, I got my sentence wrong. So I'm predicting I got at least 3 points off. Out of... 51, I think.
fourthperiod: Allison and I made our video. That was so funny- "No, Bryce, you should use a gay voice." We have to finish editing tomorrow, and then film our "shots" video. And then finally work on our posters; I want to do mine on an actress, maybe Selena Gomez? :) I don't know. Gimme ideas, please! :D

So I ate dinner at 3:10 today. EW. I hate eating right after school. One, I'm not that hungry, because I just ate at school. And two, now I'm going to starve tonight around 8 or 9, and I don't want to eat a lot before bed. :/

Things that need to be done: Read some more of Wuthering Heights. Practice guitar. Finish chapter 1 and work on chapter 2.


Ciao, bella. :)

Mar. 13th, 2009

Whining Voices Don't Do The Head Much Good.

beforeschool: So Ryan missed the bus; he better thank me, I saved his butt from being late to school! And we found out we have a creeper... lol. It's kinda scary to think about.
firstperiod: HAHA. Alesia came in to sell more tickets, and told us that Mr. Carl has a story about him playing soccer at the military base. So we got him to tell us about this, and then that leaded to even more stories... We had storytime for about half an hour. And no, his stories are not boring, no matter how much he thinks they are! "So he told me, 'Make sure you check out your station.' And I told him, 'The only thing I'm checking out are these alligators.' ...I got in trouble for that one." :)
secondperiod: Miss Bollinger is so nice! I'm excited for her to conduct one of our pieces. And listening to the recording... we actually didn't sound that bad last night...
lunch: HAHA. "Anand, you're definitely not a G if that hat is so much bigger than your head." "...They're giving me dirty looks, I guess I'll put my hood up." Oh my.
thirdperiod: We read the first half hour, then worked with grammar the rest of the period basically. Yay. :/
fourthperiod: Allison and I planned out our video; I love how we're having Bryce advertise chapstick. Haha. And then we presented our websites.
advisor: Group therapy! Lol. "It sounds like Alcoholics Anonymous! 'Hi, I'm from Central York, and I've used this program for 2 years.'" | "I'm tired." "Well, that's good. The first step is admitting you have a problem."

How to sum up the whole afternoon/evening... 6th graders are annoying. Middle school kids are so NOT cool, not matter how much they think they are. We are going to have some strange freshmen next year. And Nigel, Gabby's brother, is hanging out with some very disturbed boys... Lmao. I almost spit out my water when Jen was imitating him. "I feel like I'm in a petting zoo!" "Now I know how the animals feel when you tap against the glass."

I have so much on my mind, and I want to sort it all out, but I don't know how. I'm just going to go read and calm myself down.

Mom's birthday is on Sunday.
1 week left to decide whether I can or can't go to the Jonas Brothers concert.
49 days until the Honor Society concert.
:/

Mar. 12th, 2009

Throw A Brick Through The Window.

And this one.
:D




I Noticed You Noticing Me, And I Wanted To Put You On Notice That I Noticed You Too.


:D :D :D
I love this so much. Thanks to Lindsey and Sammi for finding it. ;)

Who's A G?

beforeschool: Uhm... Nothing really. My bus keeps getting to school later than usual. :/
firstperiod: We watched a 21-minute movie, ha, and then worked on our review thing the rest of the time. Only I only got to #8, lol. :) It's just more fun to talk in that class!
secondperiod: It was okay; went over the songs for the concert.
lunch: "Anand, I am a G, okay? My NAME begins with a G." "Yeah, well, my last name begins with a G!" "Uh, the last time I checked, first comes before last, okay?" | "If there weren't girls around here, I'd let it all out." "Let what all out? That I'm a G and you know it?!" Oh boy. Sometimes, there are perks to sitting at the very end of the table. :) And that whole water-bottle scandal was priceless.
thirdperiod: Oh my gosh, we spent almost the entire time watching SAT videos. Only our corner wandered onto another site and was watching those videos. :)
fourthperiod: Basically did nothing. We found out today that Allison and I do need to make a video along with the poster. She went to talk with Teal and Kendall, so I just sat there and did whatever I could think of, haha.
clubs: The pictures that we had were either blurry or dark, so we couldn't do anything with them except organize them. And then Kylie and I were talking about the true meaning of "If You Seek Amy"... it's so obvious once you know it, haha.

So we found out today in English that in two weeks, while the juniors are taking the PSSA's, we have to take a 4Sight test? Which is telling us how well we'll do on the PSSA's...? Stupid, in my opinion. And Miss Acri was having a nervous breakdown, HAHA. That was so funny.

When I came home I got a shower, and when I got out, my dad took Ryan to work, so I was home alone. Which is why I started singing songs at the top of my lungs; no one could yell at me. ;) Ha. Once Mom got home I helped her with organizing the subs and sandwiches, and dropped another hint about the Jonas Brothers concert.

Wow, this is turning into a full-out blog. ;) Anyways.
I don't think people realize just how much I want to go to this concert. I mean, I know I've been to one before, and they aren't "everything in life". But they are my idols, and I look up to them, and I want to see them succeed; which means me supporting them as much as possible... And I mean, c'mon, who DOESN'T want to see someone they admire greatly live, on stage?? ...Exactly. I make such a big deal out of it, but it means a lot. Everyone around me is going, and I know they're excited, and I'm happy for them, but it just really puts me in a bad mood when everyone is celebrating about them going, and I have less than a week to convince my mom to buy tickets.
This is when it sucks to be poor.
And a mom that won't drive far.

The band concert tonight went fairly well. Usually the symphonic band plays such long, involved pieces, but this time they really didn't. And it was our band that had the 3 long songs. Our band did so much better than in January, but it still wasn't the best we could have done.

When I got home, I tried to get on quick to watch the Honor Society live chat. When I turned it on, they were singing "Don't Close The Book" live... and that was the end. :/ I'm upset, because apparently they talked about a lot of great things. So I'll have to go on this weekend and find that clip on their page.

Okay, and I think that's it...
I'm going to go read some more Harry Potter and lie down.
Goodnight.

Mar. 11th, 2009

Life Ain't A Piece Of Cake Tonight.

Tonight isn't going so hot.
I'm not sure if I'm going to the Jonas Brothers concert.
Friends are... yeah.
I feel like I'm getting nowhere with guitar.
My flute case fell onto the floor of the bus this afternoon, and then when I tried playing the SmartMusic assignment, the higher notes didn't want to come out. And I have a concert tomorrow night.
I posted a status on Facebook that got Erika's attention, but she's also got a status that's a little scary... And she hasn't said anything to me about her situation. And I'm a little sad that she "forgot to mention to me today" about the lunch for her birthday...

Although;
Ashley can take me to the Honor Society concert.
And... I think that's about it.
The Jonas Brothers are being animated tonight for an episode of South Park. ...I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it.

Inching Along.

beforeschool: I don't know why mom yells at me to get up if I'm ready in time... :)
firstperiod: Emily was making a big deal of whether Joel would be in Spanish or not... Anyways. Tomorrow Mr. Carl won't be there, so we learned a lot about Islam today. Yay.
secondperiod: Mr. Martini is trying to praise us. I'm sorry, but considering the people in our band, I'll only agree with the things he says and truly appreciate and believe what he says if he tells me directly. :/
lunch: Um... I waved to Haley, who was sitting at the table beside us.
thirdperiod: Fishbowl discussion! Ha, I loved our group. ;) She sent two students to get the computer cart, yet we didn't even use them...?
fourthperiod: Wow... Allison and I are FAST. We finished the whole lesson today, and actually took a full page (front and back) of notes. So now... We're kinda bored. We finished with about 5 minutes left.
academicprep: I worked on my story. Sort of.

Dang. We have some real drama queens in our school...
Anyways, about this Jonas Brothers tour. Yeah... I don't know how I'm getting to a concert. Meredith doesn't seem that into them anymore, and I don't want to rely on Nicole again; I feel bad about that. And I'm already going to a Honor Society concert in May with Ashley and Lindsey, so I don't them to feel like they're going to have to drag me along with them. Even if they do get amazing seats. :P

My plans tonight? Work a tiny bit on the Muhammad book, practice guitar, do the assignment on SmartMusic, and read my two books. Yay. :)

We Are Fans.

So I wasn't having as great a day that I had yesterday. Until Kelsey posted this.
And it just put the hugest smile on my face.


Through all the laughs, tears and screams; for one hour, everything disappears. Nothing else in the world matters except for the music blasting through our ears, the rhythm in our feet and the carefree smile on our faces.

For one hour, we can escape to another world; we can wake up on the roof with our brothers, we get bored with games, go to the year 3000 and most of all, just take a breath.

For one hour, we forget that our parents are dancing like fools three rows behind us and that the sweat on our face is ruining our make-up.

For one hour, we know exactly why Nick J is off the chain.

For one hour, it is okay to wear sunglasses inside.

For one hour, our hearts belong to those three boys.

"Now I know, that every single one of us has gone through a hard time.
" -Nick Jonas.

What they don’t know is that for one hour, they help us forget about our problems, the stress and just life. We dance to the songs that we scream at the top of our lungs and we enjoy the bond that 6,000 people share when they are on stage.

For one hour, we are fans.

That's All I Ask Of You...

beforeschool: I really hate Daylight Savings, ha.
firstperiod: We wasted half an hour because some people didn't do the assignment last night. And then we spent the rest of the period listening to Mr. Carl give us an "in-depth" view of Christianity. It's a little awkward for me...
secondperiod: Phantom of the Opera! :D
lunch: I love trading for applesauce! :)
thirdperiod: None of those books sound exciting... I put Fahrenheit 451 as my top pick. :/ I got a little bit further in Wuthering Heights.
fourthperiod: Finished editing our video and showed it to the class, and Shannon did some kind of quiz thing for me. Ha.
academicprep: Oh my God. "No, I'm serious, get off. I'm going to kill you." SECRET LOVERRRRS! :)

Agenda:
~Practice guitar.
~Second assignment for SmartMusic.
~Work on Muhammad book.
~Get a shower.
~Read Harry Potter. :D :D


You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
