Wednesday's post on Thursday!

Being as I was remiss on posting yesturday, I shall have to post about yesturday today! Discussion? I didn't think so. So yesturday, although I was not allowed to go to Al's, I was allowed to go to Mark's. Hmmm, can anyone say double standard? Anyway, so I was suppose to phone Mark at 11 and we would decide when I would go over from there. However, I didn't wake up until 10 30, so I was rushing around trying to get ready in half an hour (which didn't happen) because it creeps me out to phone people in my pyjamas. Particularly phoning boys in my pyjamas. It's right up there with phoning someone after you get out of the shower and all you're wearing is a towel. *shudder*. ANYWHO...enough of my paranoia. So we watched Prince and Me, and then went into the Park to see a film at the Cinema, and then had supper back at his house, so it was delightfully fun. But when I phoned my daddy at 8 to tell him I was coming home, he sounded so lonely. He was all alone, because my mommy was working, and he was lonely without me! My poor gingersnap! What ever will he do when I move away? I watched Nanny 911 last night. Those children were atrocious! They desperately needed a nanny. Well, I'm off to do some english...*mutters* stupid english...why I oughta...*shakes fist*

Sorry, no good title forthcoming

Today I laid around and watched Moulin Rouge and then went to work. Huzzah. It was incredibly boring, which means I made money for standing around. Not a bad system, really. And I'm nearly finished the book I'm currently reading, so that's always fun. Mum and dad were cleaning today, which was not fun, but I didn't do much, so it's all good! Yay!

Shopping...ick

Today I went shopping. I rather dislike shopping, but I had a gift card for the Gap which I needed to use. I bought a lovely sweater which was made in Sri Lanka *coughchildlabourcough*. And my mum just had to look around at various stores and spend about 2 hours in antique places. I hate antiqueing. Now I'm home. Woot. Oh, but I have finished revisions to my first world lit paper and it is completely done, footnotes and all! And it's only 1499 words! Huzzah!

I think I forgot..

I believe I forgot to mention that Evan had a car accident the other day. He's alright, apart from a nasty bump on the head for which he refuses to see the doctor *shakes fist*, but I'm afraid his car isn't. Poor skippy, however shall he beau his lady friend around? Well, he liked his Christmas present, which I thought was funtabulous apart from the wierd looks I got buying it, and he actually considered buying me something in a similar vein hehe. Okay, I know y'all think it's wierd. I guess we're just insanely comfortable with each other. Just wait till your birthdays....mwahahahaha! I do beleive Willis is up next...hmmmm. hehe. Guess who bought cue card and a cue card box today! That's right, I did! Now I can organize my study notes according to subject. I was really excited and started getting squeaky about it in the store, which I think embarrased daddy, but oh well. He will live. I'm not allowed to go to Alyssa's on the 29th :( *sigh*. It sucks alot. And Rabe is going to Calgary! WHOA! What shall I do without Rabe?

'Twas the Day After Christmas

I don't know about the rest of you, but I sure am glad Christmas is over. Suprise of suprises, my uncle did not, in fact, get drunk this year. Although, the innapropriate jokes were just as they always are. My family is creepy. And I wasn't able to go for the much anticipated walk because my mum wanted to leave. I think my favorite present this year was my luggage and Paris, 1919. You know, as much as I love my family, I'm kinda getting tired of just getting money every year. I know they sometimes don't know what to get me, but the 'here, have $20' kinda says 'I don't know what you want and I don't really care'. *sigh*. Oh well, at least it's finally over. Who ever thought up Christmas should be shot. I have just realized how much homework I have, and it sucks. Alot. I have to study for math, study for history, history w/s, math review and questions, world lit, poetry, and physics. yikes. I guess I better get started sometime today.

Mare's Day of Worky-ness

Mare worked today, which was alright because she worked the early shift (9-530). And Mare was priviledged enough to finally meet Myles of the Gorgeous Eyes. I think I left this out on last posty-ness, but a girl I work with, whom I shall call Betty, went on and on and on and ON about new guys Myles and his gorgeous eyes. Well, Mare met Myles of the Gorgeous Eyes today and admits that she did not, in fact, gaze deeply into them to acertain their gorgeousness. How remiss of her. Otherwise, work was fine. Then I dropt Evan's gift off at his house (but, alas, he was working) and now I'm home. I have a headache of gargantuan proportions and need to eat before I faint from hunger, so off Mare goes to feed herself full of suppery goodness!

Don't Try This At Home...

And now for an exciting episode of Marence's stupidity:
Ok, so i got home from the dentist (I'll tell you about that later) and I was looking in my medicine cabinet (for absolutely no reason at all, I was just bored) and I found some of those breath easy strip things that you put over your nose to help you breath. Well I thought, 'hmm, I've never tried one of these, maybe I'll give it a go and see if they work'. So I find my size and put it on just like in the picture. Well, apparently it's suppose to make you breath by adhesing (if that's a word) to the side of your nose and pulling in out further to 'open up your nasal passageways' (doesn't work, by the way). I felt utterly ridiculous walking around with this thing that made me look like I broke my nose and didn't do what it was supose to be doing . So I go to take this thing off, and oh my goodness! You know those biore commercials for the pore cleansing strips that you stick on your face and then pull off to take off all your blackheads? Well this is one of those feelings, only waaaayyyy less fun than it looks in the commercial. OUCH! That company should be making glue.
So, the dentist. Well, I have a something developing that could develope into a cavity, so they'll fix it later. Woot. I also get to get my wisdom teeth out in the summer. Double woot. however, I did get a nifty little bag with a new toothbrush and new floss and new toothpaste samples! YAY! I now have samples of 3 different Crest Whitening Expressions: extreme herbal mint (natural mint with herbal extracts), fresh citrus breeze (a light splash of citrus flavour), and cinnamon rush (a bold blast of cinnamon). It's quite exciting, I must say.

Par-tay at Rabe's and Fleg's

So yesturday was the super fantabulous party at Rabe & Fleg Ltd., which was full of super fantastic fun! I enjoyed myself emmesely. Aside from getting chocolate and sugar everywhere possible, of course, but even that has some goodness to it. mmmm chocolate... Tobogganin was good aside from the few bumbs and scrapes. However, my face is rather red from plowing into the ground with it, and my mum told me that my face looked (and I quote) 'pink and gross' this morning. Just what I wanted to hear after being woken up 10 minutes early after not enough sleep. My mum is seriously considering allowing me to attend Lex's NYE party, which is fabulous. Anyway, I have to go get ready to see the dentist so I can say 'look mum, no cavities!" just like I always do so I can return to my childhood...lol.

grad pics = uglyness

I got my grad pictures back today and I look UGLY. I look like a CREEPER!! It sucks alot and I'm not allowed to go for retakes. I have this stupid smile that looks like I'm on Valium or something. And the one where I'm looking off to the side looks like I'm high and watching a butterfly go by or something else crazy. AND I LOOK LIKE A CHIPMUNK!!! Honestly, it looks like I gained about 20 pounds. *sigh* Why oh why did I choose to smile like that? I'm bringing them to Rabe's tomorrow to get the final say on whether I look like a creeper or not, but I'll still think they're ugly no matter what. My hair looks stupid too. But I like the color. It looks more red than usual. Or it looks like it always does and I just don't look at my hair. Either way, I like the color.

Postastic fun

Since I know you're all just waiting with baited breath to hear how my day went on saturday and sunday, I'll tell you! I made cookies all morning, then went into town to get Evan's Chritmas present, then went to church. Churchw as boring as usual, and I messed up on the songs I played, but oh well. As its just church, no one really notices anyway. Diana's party was fun to the max. When we got home, Rabe and I talked for awhile and then went to sleep, which was delightful. When we got up, I said hi to Will, but he didn't like me. :( it was sad. Work was stupid. There's this new guy Allen, and he is THE most pompous, pretentious, prat that ever lived! (how's that for alliteration?!) I dislike him immensely and will strangle him with his hairnet if he tells me about my name in Spanish one more time, or tries to show me how to do something I already know how to do extremely well as I've worked there for longer than he has! GRRRRRRRRR!!! Kelly, the other new person I worked with, is really nice. I like working with her. I would have liked work last night if it weren't for Allen. Isn't that sad how one person can ruin my day? Oh well. I went home and ate a great deal of food and blogged and slept, which made me feel better. Plus, today is a monday, and I'm not at school! YAY!! Oh, theb has updated for those who don't know. Yay for Theb!

Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for those people who can't remember where they leave things. -- Unknown
This is a very comforting thought. I always misplace things, although I think it all ends up on my floor anyway.

NO MORE SCHOOL!!

Huzzah and hooray! No more school for two weeks = sleep and fun = a happy Mare! And Mare likes being happy. So today wasn't as bad as I expected. WWII is always interesting, so History was good, plus we got candy. English I studied/zoned out into nothingness/ listened to Mark and Blair argue about computer programs, plus Mrs Williams didn't teach AND she gave us candy, so English was also good. Lunch was full of studying-ness and eating poppy-seed muffin-ness. Bio wasn't as bad as I though it would be...I think (and candy-ness). I hope I did well, because I really have to pull up my mark. Chem was terrible, but we got candy. I could hear Mr Lam's class loud and clear through the thin walls (yet again) and was very distracted (yet again). I just can't block it out when I'm trying to think. And then DEDECORATION was fun, and h.ro gave us more candy which I always enjoy. And then....STEEPS! Didn't have quite as creepy music on today, although the people kept giving us weird looks. And then we went shopping, which I dislike immensely, but it was ok. I got Mark's present and my secret santa present (YAY). Now I just need to get Evan's present and I'll be good to go. Then I had supper at Rabe's (which was delightful and tasty) and then picked up Clare for choir. 2 hours of singing kinda makes my throat scratchy, but oh well. At least practise went fairly well (I goofed on my songs). And then home sweet home! Actually, home is less than sweet due to us all getting in a big fight again, but what else is new? Suffice to say I am rather displeased, and mum and dad are less than happy. *sigh* One day, we will actually go without fighting and I will die of shock. Anywho, I am superlatively glad that we have no school in the near future and intend to celebrate by sleeping and making cookies tomorrow. Superlative!

1 More Day of Hell Left to Go!

That's right, just one more day of Hell left to go and then SLEEP!!! I can't wait. So today was meh. I was running late due to the fact that I descovered I had no clean pants, which meant I had to find a skirt and shave. I hate shaving! Being a girl sucks. Anyway, I finially got myself together and got to school (after freezing because of aforementioned skirt). ToK was aight. The presentations were fairly good, but long. I don't think ours was that long, but then again I wasn't listening to us, so it probably seemed a lot longer to everyone else. Math was ok. I didn't get called on, which was nice. Lunch was ok. I went down to the caf and thence to the library with Mark. Spare was delightful. I read a magazine, attempted to study, and attempted a nap, but couldn't due to the amount of noise people were making. I'm very proud of my physics notes guys! They aren't as delightful as Clare's, but they're still pretty darn delightful if I do say so myself! And card games and pictionary were fun. I was feeling very abandoned after school because Rabe was Rabing Clare and herself home, and my significant other didn't show up at my locker. However, I felt slightly less abandoned as aforementioned significant other met me outside and I was escorted across the parking lot. The kids on the bus were absolutely horrible today! One kid, whom we shall call Joe, allegedly threw a snowball at onther kid, whom we shall call Fred. Now Fred got extremely angry and started holler about how Joe had no right to throw a snowball at him, and a long string of expletitives. Now Joe had the bright idea of defending himself by saying that if he hadn't of thrown the snowball at Fred, someone else would have, he just got there first. Oh boy, did Fred explode! After another long stream of expletitives, he stormed off the bus and made it to the stop light before another kid, whom we shall call Bill (aka: TB boy) caught up with him. Bill managed to convince Fred to get back on the bus and, once on, Fred began to cry. And not just normal crying, but full out wailing. You know, like when a two year old falls over and bangs his head? Well, just like that. After some more expletitives and crying, Fred finally decided to be quiet (about 3/4 of the way to the fort). Fred, I might add, looks to be about 12 years old. *sigh* I hate the bus. Mark is a real IB kid now guys! He went to bed at 4 AM! Oh, the life of IB students. Speaking of going to bed, I better go get some caffiene so I can go study!

Ugh

Well, today just redefined crappy. When I went out to the bus this morning, my cats had decided to be thoughtful and leave half of a mouse on my doorstep for me, which was disgusting. History was pretty good though, and I learned quite a bit. H.ro's muttering about steel and having to use graphite was odd, but hey, whatever floats his boat. English was stupid and pointless (suprise suprise). I finished off Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, which made me cry because it's sad. That was somewhat embarassing, but oh well. It was an emotional ending! Then I had a bit of a tiff with Mark, which was not good. See, (oh theb, I'm using your word!) he said Evan was a little bastard for ruining his words, and even though I knew he was joking I got offended by it. I shouldn't have but I did. And then I got somewhat angry and recieved a lovely case of frostbite in return. And then I had to go apologize for over-reacting. *sigh* You would think I would learn. Anyway, that totally sucked. Bio was not all that fun. Granted there were no notes involved, and for some reason, Clare and I laughed for like five minutes over Rabe saying 'arse', but still sucky class. Chem was very boring. Although, I did "go to the washroom" (aka: went for a walk to the caf with Mark). And then I got to ride home on the bus (woot) which is full of devil spawn. I watched ANTP, and I'm kinda glad about the outcome. I dunno, I haven't really been following all that closely. Anywho, I better go do some homework.

Even Crappier

Today trumps yesturday for crappiness. I had to sit behind the worlds biggest prat on the bus. I hate that kid. I think our ToK presentation went ok, but I'm not sure.I would like everyone to take note that I said 'dictionary' correctly (woot). I talked waaaaaaaaayyyyy too much during discussion. I don't know why, but I suppose I was in a talkative mood or something. Or perhpas someone slipped me a mickey. Either way, too much talking. Math was stupid. I accidentally ripped my notes which sucks because now I have to redo them. And, of course, randyhere asked me questions which I was unable to answer. I'm sure I came off looking incredibly stupid. Lunch was ok. Grad COMEG didn't last as long as usual so Willis, kk, Rabe and I went for a field trip of fun-ness, which was delightful. Spare was aight as I read Harry Potter the whole time. Physics was horrible. That test was soooo bad. I failed. *sigh*. I've gotten quite good at failing actually. I am quite the failure. And I missed the Yearbook meeting because I had a Dr appt, which was stupid. And now I have way too much homework that I don't want to do. I HATE IB AND I HATE HOMEWORK AND I HATE SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED THREE THINGS.

M is for Moronic...and Monday

I don't know how many times I have said this, but I hate Mondays. Oh, excuse me, I dislike Mondays immensely because it's impolite to hate them. Today was another fabulous specimen of a Monday. I got up this morning and came upstairs to get breakfast (like I do every single morning) and was greeted with "there she is!". Was I missing? Was someone looking for me? Was I playing peek-a-boo? This really irritated me. I don't know why, but it did. I get very easily irritated in the mornings before breakfast. Actually, whenever I'm low on sugar I get irritable. Anywho, I got to school and put my stuff up in h.ro (as Rabe says, or rather, types) room (as per usual). H.ro said good morning (as per usual) but he also accompanied his 'good morning' with a smile. Now, the only times I have ever seen him smile were during pst conferece and when I asked him a question at lunch once, so that was rather odd. I guess he guessed right off that we were responsible for the decorating. I hope he liked it and wasn't just being nice about it. History was aight, but I wasn't feeling well and just couldn't focus, so I have practically no side notes, which sucks. I usually have quite a few, but I'll just read from the text. English we were extremely unprepared for the english oral today. However, I thought we did a delightful job, considering we basically winged the whole thing. Bio was stupid, chem was confuzing. That about sums up the day!

Babysitting and Cookies

Now, because I just know you are all dying to know how babysitting went last night, I'll give you the details. Apparently Cheyenne (Who I'm going to call Jill because it's easier to type) was waiting since 5 o'clock for me to arrive (at 7 30), which is kind of cute but makes me feel bad because I haven't been the nicest person to her. It all has to do with when we were little and her taking over my mum and stuff. You know, childish jelously feelings established a long time ago that never really got better. Anywho, CJ was in bed, so Jill and I put together a Harry Potter puzzel for awhile and then watched some tv and played with the cat before I sent her to at least lie in bed at 10 pm (didn't actually make her turn out the light until 11, aren't I nice?). However, CJ woke up like 5 times. Now, I like babies, and I consider myself a fairly good person to take care of them, but how the heck am I suppose to figure out how to move the railing on the crib?! It's impossible! I had to get Jill to show me! Gah. Anyway, I just had to quiet her down and put her back in (and then run back because I forgot to put the stupid railing back up twice). And then I got to go home at 11 30! YAY! Anyway, that was babysitting.
Now on to the cookies portion of this post. What kind of cookies do you all like? I'm making them for D's, and I haven't quite decided on which kinds I'm making. I was thinking gingersnaps, pretzel cookies, peanut butter cookies, and possibly sugar cookies. Any suggestions? Oh and one more thing to bother you about before I go, how do you pronounce scenario? sin-ahr-ee-oh or sin-air-ee-oh?

Saturday

So today was aight. Well, apart from my being sick. I am now drinking hot water with lemon juice in it (in essence, basically hot lemon juice) which tastes...well, not good. But it helps. Anyway, I was rudely awoken this morning at 7 30 AM by the stupid phone! I let the answering machine answer and then got up to find myself abandoned. Well, my mom was at work, but my dad abandoned me and I didn't know where he was! And I called my mummy, but she didn't know where he was, and I felt so abandoned! :( Poor Mare all alone. But when I was going into Rachel's, I passed daddy's work and saw his truck, so that was good. At Rabe's, Clare, Rabe and I did our ToK presentation. We didn't finish by the time I had to leave, though. And tonight I have to babysit. Woot.

Friday = End of Week of Suckage

I am very glad that the week is over, because it's been terrible. And I'm sick! Ugh. I hate colds, but I guess I should be proud of my immune system for mounting such an adequate defence...lol. Yesturday was ok, I suppose. My mother gave me permission to go tobogganing with Mark and his friends, so I went to school all happy. ToK was aight, I didn't fail math, so that was all good. But Mark informed me that we were going sledding in Edmonton. Big uh-oh. So I call my mum and, as expected, I am no longer allowed to go sledding. *sigh*. If that wasn't sucky enough, when I told Mark he seemed to get rather annoyed at me. See, in his opinion, I just shouldn't have told my mum we were going into Edmonton. But I consider that lying, because omission is just as good as lying which I try not to do to my parents. So, now he is annoyed at me. During lunch Willis, Rabe, and I went on an excursion, which was fun. Spare was enjoyable as all I did was read Harry Potter. Physics was aight. Operation Decoration/Jolly it up/Brown Knitted was tons of fun. I think we all did a great job, and if he doesn't like it, well at least we had fun. Then the mix up with mc's mum, which was no one's fault, just one of those things. Then I ended up going to mc's for dinner where we had delicious chicken curry and then to choir. And then home where I slept. Mmmm, sleeping. And that was Friday!

another boring day

So today was another boring day of school. Woot. History was good because I like history, English was less than fascinating (however as we did groupwork it was aight), bio was dreadfully dull, chem was dull also. That bio 'movie', if it can be called so (more like a low budget production) was sooooo dull. I nearly fell asleep sitting up, and I do believe Nick did. At lunch I helped sell tickets (well, somewhat anyway). This dude (hereafter to be referred to as 'Fred') came up and asked for a guest ticket, which we weren't selling today. We nicely explained to Fred that we couldn't and we were sorry, but we had orders from the high and mighty administration. Then Mr Fisk comes and is all "SELL THIS BOY ANOTHER TICKET OR ELSE!" and we had to. So I've decided if we get into trouble, it is all Mr Fisk's fault. So there! OC is on tonight, as is Apprentice!

Water Molecules!

Last time on Water Molecules Gone Wild, Admiral Sacha dismissed Mac (and after all that waiting on the phone!) and the water molecules problem. Our always resourceful Sally however, had a solution. She went off to, once again, contact Wiersy, whilest Mac was sent back to Sally's house to water her desperatly dry plant. Will Sally be able to contact Wiersy? Will the plants get water? Tune in to find out...
The phone rang at the Pentagon. "You've reached the Pentagon," a recorded voice announced cheerfully. " If you would like to report a UFO siting, press one. To speak with Captain Samuel's office, press two. To speak with..." Sally entered her secret code to ring Wiersy's private line.
"Wiersy here," Wiersy spoke curtly.
"Hey Wiersy!" Sally greeted the Vice Admiral. "This is Forsythe. We need to meet."
"All right," Wiersy agreed, "But this better be important."
"Oh, it is," Sally assured her. "How about the abandoned warehouse on Dock 7?"
"I'll be there in an hour," Wiersy confirmed.
Sally hung up and raced down to the warehouse, leaving the door unlocked for Mac so that he could water her plants.
*****************
Mac's quick, purposeful stride soon brought him to Sally's 7th floor walk-up. Taking the stairs three at a time, he leapt up to Sally's floor as quick as he could, hoping to catch her before she left. Sadly, Mac's hopes were dissapointed as Sally had already entered the elevator. Sighing, mac contented himself with the thought that he was in her apartment and undertaking the dangerous mission of water her plants. Placing the report on black holes in a drawer so it wouldn't get wet (he just had to bring it along in case he had a chance to peruse it) Mac set to work sneaking up on the watering can.
Three hours later, after a concentrated effort, Mac was able to neutralize the watering can and water Sally's plants with heavy water (which, as we all know, doesn't go as wild as regular water). That done, Mac removed the black holes report from the drawer and settled down on the couch for a good read.
Back at Dock 7, a two meter tall man was leaning agianst a lampost across the street from the abandoned warehouse as Sally cautiously approached. The man was wearing a bulky trenchcoat and a hat strategically dipped below one eye, and a scarf of apricot colored flannel.
"Broemling? What?! Why are you wearing that awful scarf?" Sally addressed the conspicuous figure.
The two meter tall man straightened up. "Randyhere," he corrected, "and remember that I am only here for reinforcement. Do not inform Wiersy of my presence."
"With that aweful scarf she'll probably notice you anyway." Sally said, grimacing.
"Is it really that bad? My wife bought it for me..." Randyhere replied, eyeing the flannel critically. "Oh and before you go, I must inform you that my organization, you know, the Mathematics Society for Control of Uncommon Instances of Non-Real Events, has given me the authority to unleash our most secret device in order to force Wiersy to co-operate if neccessary."
How is Mac's report coming along? Will Wiersy show up at the warehouse? And what is the most secret device of the MSCUINRE? Tune it next week to find out...

yearbooking

Today was yearbooking, which was aight except that I was tired and couldn't concentrate. Not that we did much anyway, but oh well. Beth, Diana (oh to Oxford comma, or not to Oxford comma, that is the question) and I had a lovely chat. I can't quite recall about what we conversed, but I do remember taboo, gynocologists, and the non-complexity of boys were each discussed in turn. Mum picked me up and we went home where I ate a whole bunch and attempted to study whilest I watched About a Boy (smashing film by the way). Sorry if I sound funny, but now I've got Hugh Grant's mannerisms in my head from watching the film. Don't you hate that? As soon as I finish watching something, I have the characters's mannerisms stuck in my head for half an hour and can't get them out. It's really very odd. Anyways, I ought to get back to studying. I refuse to be up any later than 10 tonight, so there! Take that IB and stick it where the sun don't shine!

Monday, how I do I hate thee? Let me count the ways...

While I dislike Mondays in general, today wasn't all that bad. ToK was quite interesting, even though Clare and Rabe weren't there with whom to have fun (did that make sense Willis?). Math wasn't all that bad either, even though Mr Broemling did pick on me. Theb and I spent some quality time together during lunch (*tear*) which was delightful. Spare was full of homework, and physics was full of lack of homework. Hmm, strange how that works out. New kid on bus insisted on talking to me again, even though he could clearly see that I was desperately trying to read Eats, Shoots & Leaves (thanks Willis!), which is so far fantabulous. Who though learning could be so enjoyable? I tried to be polite, and he eventually got the hint (half-way home) and decided to read the article about his football team in the paper. Supper was good (left-overs from last night's dinner with Mark and co.) Now, off to studying. I promise I will get a new WMGW up soon!

HAND HOLDING TENSION!

Today was a fairly good day. In fact, I'd say it was a flat out good day. I got up at 8 and watched the remainder of Van Helsing, which I started last night. It's a really good movie which I wouldn't actually mind owning myself. Lots of shooting and Dracula, and Dracula's spawn and all. It was delightful. Then I showered (that's right Rabe, I was CLEAN!) and helped mum tidy the house a bit. I then read some of my book (which is absolutely thrilling) until it was time to go pick up Mark. When we were at Mark's Bracken and Bear and Rusty had a conspiracy and knocked me on my butt on the doorstep. However, as they are all cute puppies, I forgive them and like them just the same :) . We put up the Christmas tree today. I absolutely covered it in tinsel (or 'tinsel bits' as Mark refers to them as). It's still ugly though seeing as it's fake and short and all. We watched POA (which is full of hand-holding tension and WINSTONING on Hermione's part) until his parental units came out for dinner, which was lovely. And then they went home and I made a heroic effort to begin my chem lab and discovered that I can't do it because I don't have some crucial information. So I did some history w/s instead.

You know, I have realized that I have been rather pessimistic lately towards school and whatnot. I need to be more optomistic about these things, that way maybe I'll be inpired to work harder on them and get good marks. From here on in, I have decided that I like school, particularly math, physics and chemistry, and delight in doing my homework. I also enjoy and delight it tinsel and crunchy apples.

How true that is. You know, I think that if people knew half the things that I've done or said or regretted, they would really look at me in a different light. Good thing they don't. lol.

Saturday of Laziness

So far today, I have accomplished very little. I did some poetry, looked over ToK stuff, and watched all 5 hours of Pride and Prejudice. And not just any Pride and Prejudice, the one with Colin Firth. Because, as we all know, Colin Firth = superb actor + fanatabulous Mr Darcy. Theb, I am very jelous that you have P&P on DVD! I have to go to church soon, which sucks, but oh well I suppose. Then I'm going to my cousin's house where I will attempt to do my homework. Tomorrow is more homework and decorating the Christmas tree. In my opinion, it is much too early to decorate the tree. And it's such a pathetic, fake, 6 1/2 foot tree. *sigh* Does anyone know when the physics lab is due? Well, I am off to dress for church as I really don't think Fr Stan would appreciate nor condone wearing my pyjamas (puh-JAH-mahz) to church.

Friday = Chem test

Today was aight I guess. After having had 3 hours of sleep and 2 cups of coffee, I arrived at school rather buzzed. Personally, I prefer buzzed to zombie, but that's just me. Another cup of coffee and History. I really liked History today. It was pretty interesting. Then, another cup of coffee and English, which wasn't as painful as usual. Mr O'Donnel has a lovely accent that I wish I had and does not try to interpret poems by picking his favorite word and declaring it a symbol, which I must say is a large step up from usual. Another cup of coffee and lunch was delightful. I like Egyptian war, even if I can't slap. Bio was better than usual because we got to talk all class. Unfortunately. I ran out of coffee half-way through, so I was starting to get tired come Chem test time. I know I definitely got some stuff wrong, but all in all I think I did ok. Bus was actually ok tonight, as I started a new Jeffrey Deaver book today, which is awesome so far. Then I came home, ate some din, called Rabe and here I am! With a major headache from caffiene withdrawal. Sigh. 5 cups of coffee is definetely too much. Next time, I'm sticking to sugar. Well, I'm off to go to my hot date with Weimar Germany, ttyl!

Thursday of Blahness

I don't know about these thursdays anymore. They are just the same as the rest of the week. Shall we recap today? Yes let's: Tok - boring and sleep-inducing, Math - not all that bad because it was a work period and (shocker of shockers) I actually understood the majority of questions I did, lunch - I sold dance tickets, spare - read my book, Physics - took fantabulous notes (if I do say so myself, and I do) and did the lab. So all in all, a blah day; not quite crappy enough for a crappy day, not good enough for a good day. I'm a little worried about this ToK thing as I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I hope one of you ladies know how to run powerpoint, because I don't remember much. I have the general idea, but the details are a little hazy. I'm also kind of worried for this chem quiz tomorrow. He tends to test on the things that he didn't teach us, but thinks we picked up by ESP (or ESPN for Willis!). *sigh* At least tomorrow is Friday. And the OC is on tonight, which should be fun. You know, I think we should construct a time machine and go back in time to when whats-his-face (that Thomas or Thompson dude from physics) decided to ask questions about electrons and protons. Then we can bonk him on the head so he forgets his question, and viola! No more physics! What do you think? If that fails, Rabe and I can still go backpacking across Europe as bar wenches, along with whoever else wants to come (but you have to be a bar wench also!). I personally think this idea has merit. Well, I want to finish a chapter in my book and do some homework before OC, so chek ya lata! (Now was that gangsta Rabe or was the gangsta?) Peace out! (lol, I'm such a fool!)

Well that was embarassing

I have now embarrased myself sufficiently for today. Daddy asked me a question (I can't remember what) and I started yelling about how I'm tired and didn't study enough last night and should have stayed up to study more and how I don't think I did well on the test and how stupid mrs williams and english is and how boring bio is and how stupid I am at chem. And then I started crying. And to top it off, daddy started laughing at me and said 'there there' rather patronizingly. However, I do feel slightly better now. *sigh* I hate stress.

Early Out

Howdy everyone! So today wasn't all that bad. It didn't start out good, but it ended well. This morning I was super tired and stressed from studying for History plus all our other homework, so I guess I wasn't in a super fantabulous mood. Mark is of the opinion that I'm grouchy. I suppose I am though, but I'm trying not to be. After the exam, I felt slightly less stressed. But not much as I was freaking out about how bad I did. I seriously felt like I was about to start hyperventilating any minute. English was stupid, as it always is. I hate Mrs Williams's take on every single poem. I am of the opinion that she just picks her favorite word and makes some things up about it. I was supposed to do homework at lunch, but I really couldn't handle it, so I didn't. Biology was boring. Mrs Wiersma's notes annoy me. I can't tell where the heck her headings and subheadings are, and the different colors and bad punctuation annoy me. *sigh* Chem was actually fun. Rachel and my lab was HOTT. Even if we were mentally incapitated by the end lol. RAABE! The bus ride home was boring, but as there wasn't anyone home when I got here, I was happy. Gilmore Girls and The Apprentice are on tonight! YAY! You know I was just thinking (which I occasionaly do) about something Cedar remarked on to me today. Now I know she didn't mean anything by it, and it doesn't bother me that much, but I'm kinda curious now. She told me she didn't expect Mark and I to "last as long as we have". Do poeple speculate on the length of other people's relationships? I know I sure don't, but then again I am oblivious to alot of things. I realize the 'typical' highschool relationship last like, two seconds, but honestly, there are many of us that go in for a long-term thing. Well, in my opinion anyway. I dunno, maybe I'm just being overly sensitive to the comment (as I seem to have been all week). Maybe I'm just thinking too much and should stop before I hurt myself...
