Calling people

Apparently there are some people that are feeling left out, and not wanted when they do not receive phone calls to do something. This is an understandable feeling, and it blows. I know we've all felt like the world hates us when this happens, but it has to be an even worse feeling to know that you've said it bothers you, and still no one does anything differently. I'm not here to point fingers, or to name names, but we're acting like 7th grade girlsm and we're better than that. So can we try and be mature and respectful of other's feelings? If you know something is going on, give everyone a call. No one likes to be left out. If you're organizing a big thing, call everyone. Don't just tell people after the fact that you have to call around to find out what's going on. At first even I was guilty of saying that to people, but put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel if you wanted to hang out with a group, you had to call around asking if it was okay if you went? Wouldn't that feel as if you're intruding and that they don't want you there? That's how I would feel, and I'm dead inside. In closing, call people. It's not that hard. Who actually pays for their phone bill, and even so, what would one more phone call do to the bill anyway? That is all.

oh JT....

hehe - so I was talking to JT and i laughed at something and he responded with this -
Katydidpt05: hehe
Wigwam363: i have to tell you. it's not just you but whenever i read hehe, i can't help but to draw the mental picture of a mouse giggling

hhehehe, ok... thats it.

Someone smarter than me please help me.

I think I jinxed my digital camera. Today, I told someone it was perfect. Of course, he reminded me that nothing is perfect, but I tried to transfer some pictures to my computer about an hour later, and less than half of them would transfer correctly. Including one stunning picture of Merge, Anna, and I. So I need someone smart to come over and fix it.

In addition: for those of you who were a part of the potty/horse sheath conversation at the BBQ, I have found that I fold my toilet paper, never rumple it. I actually tried rumpling it to see what it would be like, and I felt very rebellious, but a little too strange. Unless I were to wrap the rumpling around my hand somehow, I am afraid I would get my bodily substances on my hands, which would not be preferrable.


I feel so sad for those SLUH boys and others who don't get to decorate their lockers. My locker is well-loved. Posted by Hello

WE'RE DONE!

we've graduated and i'm very very happy... and granted i just spent way too much time at powell (nerinx and sluh's graduations both) but i'm happy... woohoo! way to be done!!!!

pictures

It's funny how people don't really know what they look like. We see other people from all sorts of angles, in real life, so we know when a picture doesn't represent them well or catches a weird expression. But when you look at a picture of yourself, you don't have anything to compare to. Even seeing yourself in the mirror isn't the same as real life. I don't know. I guess I was just wondering how accurate our self-image can actually be. Like, does Michael Jackson think he's hot? Or Britney Spears think she's ugly? How is it possible to judge yourself accurately? But there isn't really a definition for ugliness... hmm. Just musing.

AKLSDJFAISDJFOAISUERKASJJFKLAJF

IM SO EXCITED I CANT TYPE STRAIGHT! MIKE IS BACK FROM MEXICO! MIKE IS BACK FROM MEXICO! MIKE IS BACK FROM MEXICO! (i was planning on being really obnoxious and sayin that close to a hundred times but i decided not to)

zzzzzzzzzz

Yeah, so guess who woke up an hour ago so she could finish cleaning her room? That would be me. And guess who woke her up? That would be Nora. And why, did you ask? So I could finish cleaning her fucking room because she "has to go to school" and didn't feel like doing it last night. What a shit fucker. I hope she gets in a car accident on the way home from school. Take that you stupid monkey. Alright, I'm going back to bed, and not getting up until at least noon, like a normal human being. Adieu.

sith happens

I have not blogged in what feels like eight years, so here i go. I saw episode III on opening night! wow. And i have actually seen it three times (it hasn't even been out for a week). call me loser. Not only that, but when cleaning my room i came upon loads of old star wars stuff (calanders, young jedi knight magazines, books, action figures) and realized that i obviously have no life.
on that note, there are only 51 days till half blood prince comes out!!!!
For anyone who may have forgotten, my graduation party is this sunday, May 29th, and everyone is invited. May 29th also happens to be my birthday, wahoo, so everyone has to come!!

What the hell is your problem?

Sometimes, I ride my bike to work. Four familial members, one car, I don't always get to use it. So today, I'm riding through the lovely Tower Grove Park when I am approached by five or six girls who are also on their bikes. As I pass, one of them smiles a goofy smile. "She's cute," I think. Then, from one of their mouths I hear the word "Bitch" directed at me. Following the expletive, I feel a sharp pain on my left ring finger and then hear whatever they have just thrown at me hit the ground. I take a quick look to make sure I will not run into anything, then turn my head, and scream, "What the hell is your problem?" They laugh and shout more crap at me, which I do not comprehend. Then, I feel bad that I yelled. It didn't help anything, it only fueled my anger and made them taunt me even more. I do not like to think of myself as a violent person. I am just glad they didn't turn their bikes around and follow me. Because I was already completely out of breath.....

Assholes II

Come to think of it, I like all the calls I've gotten this summer inviting me places. It meant a lot to me. (note the sarcasm)

Assholes

I like the call I got inviting me to the zoo. And I was up early this morning too.

important loser info!

ok, i have just decided to move the loser of the year party.

it will NO LONGER be thursday the 27th at 6.

instead, it will be tuesday the 31st at 6pm. tell your friends.


why, you ask? well 1) we don't really have food 2) the awards aren't ready 3) my mom told me i couldn't go to any parties this weekend until i sell all the girl scout cookies, which makes me think that she forgot about this party. there wasn't really a great time to bring it up without her getting really pissed.

anyway, come to that party!

our day at the zoo


if you want to see more pictures of our day, visit my photo blog (yes, i'm blog happy).

Blah Blah Blah Blah

Yeah, what the title says. I"m bored. I woke up from my nap about 30 minutes ago. What's going on tonight? Dave King and I are supposed to hang out, so whatever. I still have yet to try out my swim suit. I had a dream about diving last night. It was funky. Anywho. I have nothing important to say, but I do work from 6-9 so whatever. Give me a ring-a-ling on the cellular modular BANANA phone. Sorry, I had to add that in there. Hasta

UGGHHH

i have to sit at honme tonight because im sick. not like i would see any of you anyways becase you guys never call me. anyways i am pissed at wherever this sickness came from. i lost my voice for nine days. my throat hurts real bad. and then i was taking all these medicines the past couple nights so i could go party with the christinas and etc but today my mom said i was taking too many pills and i couldnt take any today. wtf? so now im at home, bored, blogging, because im bored, about how my chest burns from eating salt and how ive been waking up in the middle of the night because my throat hurts. and its moved to my tongue. you know when you are sick and the sides of your tongue and your ears hurt? it blows.

I Love Salt...I Eat It 'Til My Chest Starts To Burn, Then I Stop

im actually experiencing that right now. you know those big pretzels you can buy and make yourself? well i always end up eating most of the salt and my chest is burning. just thought id let everyone know how much of an idiot i am by slowly killing myself. k bye.

just in case i forgot to tell you...


Party!
Graduation Party at Missy's
This Saturday
3:00-7:00 (open house)
671 Amelia- mapquest it (i'm too lazy to give directions)



oh yeah, MY 'HOT' BROTHER WILL BE THERE and sluh guys, you can come whenever (i hear you have this graduation thing too) even if i have no idea who you are. this would be a good time to meet.

Return of the Cute Boy

K first of all Missys brother is pretty goodlooking, not gonna lie. Second, that cute book salesman came to my house today. i was loading heavy shit into the attic for my dad so i was all sweaty and dressed nasty and didnt have socks on looking gross (as usual...but extra gross this time). so we chatted and my dad came out and the kid tried selling his books but my dad doesnt buy things he doesnt need (which explains why he is driving to tennessee tomorrow to pick up yet another atv...). anyways didnt buy any but the cute guy was there and he smelled good. mmmmmmm boys who smell good. speaking of boys and smelling good mike is coming back from mexico friday! i cannot wait..........seriously i cannot wait. been partying a lot and its taking its toll on my throat again. but now the sides of my tongue hurt as well and my ears hurt too. my mom said she wouldnt let me go to the doctor because they will just tell me its a virus and that we will just end up wasting fifteen dollars on them telling me to sit it out. well im done rambling...talk to you later.
ill probably be in a good mood next time i talk to you because mike will be back.

tennis ball blues

there is a torn up tennis ball on the carpet about 5 feet away from me. i think my dog did it but i wouldnt put it past my little brother to do something like that. speaking of brothers. my big bro, john, is coming home on friday and his band might be playing at my graduation party (it is June 4th from like 1-4 so all are invited), so there is more incentive to come! oh yeah, and still speaking of brothers... missy's is oober good looking! i mean yowza, when did that happen? he he he love you melis but i cant deny the fact that you have one hunkalicious brother! LOL. anyway, whats the dilly for tonight or the rest of the week? im bored right now so give me some stuff to do. please. catch ya on the flip side.

"FIZZLE" ~ yeah thats right, mama Burke whats up?

The Goddesses of Pool



Guess who figured out how to 1) post pictures and 2) use the scanner her brother got for his birthday? and in that order too.

AM or PM?

*disclaimer* Summer vacation has begun to set in and therefore my IQ has dropped and I am not the smartest person in the morning ....

Haha ok so I was really really confused this morning. I woke up when rolling over and decided to check my clock to see the time. The sun was shining so prettily outside that I was like "hmm.... it has got to be like noon" - nope it was 7:25. The first thing I thought was "HOLY SHIT I SLEPT UNTIL 7:25 PM???" and I therefore freaked out for a moment, and even looked at my cell phone to see the time (it said 7:15 but that is because my alarm clock is set 10 minutes fast...). It took me a moment to realize that it is 7 in the morning and not in the evening. Yeah, I felt kinda dumb then..... but of course I was by myself and no one would ever know my ditziness unless I decided to share it with everyone, like I am now. Yep..... :) And of course after that I rolled over and went back to sleep for another 4 hours.

today someone called at about 8:30, so naturally i woke up and answered the phone. however, then i didn't feel like going back to sleep, so i stayed up. it has been a very boring morning. i ate breakfast, read the comics, watched some poor quality television, and three or four times checked my e-mail and the blog. wake up! say something!!!

Cute Boy

(thats where cj goes!). then he was like "are you in highschool?" im like "no im in college" and hes like "hey me too". then we just chatted for a while (omg he was so cute). then he asked for a ride to his car becase it was like subdivisions away so i drove him and we chatted. he said hes coming back later on or something...i totally forgot i have to work though! im pissed a cute boy who said he would come back to see me and im going to be at work. the world hates me.

Yeah, boredom has me in her clutches. I have naught to say, naught to think, and naught to dream. I did all my internet prowling, and it is all for naught. I am bored, and bored I am. I cannot wait until later tonight, when we watch Mulan at the house belonging to Stephen Flanagan. I am going to start wearing more dresses, because they make me feel pretty, even when I know I'm not. I believe I shall look for dresses on the internet. I bid you adieu. Adieu.
The time has come, the walrus said, to speak of many things.
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.
And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings.

Roar.

Question: is my picture showing up on anybody's computer? Cause mine just shows the little red X and I am quite sad.

Weekends are the shit.

Isn't it amazing to have a weekend and not have to worry about school the next week? I almost didn't go anywhere after Mr. Bell's BBQ last night cause I was tired, but then I thought, "What the hell? I can sleep in all week!" So Friday night after Jazzography we went to Justin's house (a friend of Sam's) and Merge, Jacquelyn, George, and I took a walk in the subdivision. When cars passed, we sort of jogged along in formation like we were in a car. It was fun. Although I was laughing so hard I almost wet myself. Good thing there were some big trees in somebody's yard. After much peer pressure, I just tinkled between two trees. Later, when we were doing the car formation thing, this car of older guys (I think) drove past and yelled "Streakers!! They're so stoned off their asses." And it's funny cause we weren't. We were just being our normal delightful selves.
I was surprised at how few seniors were at Mr. Bell's. I mean, he's pretty spiff. But of course, my psycho mother was thinking about how, after the girls' parents left, it was just him with a bunch of high school girls. And I was like, "Mom. Chill out." I can't believe she would think anything of that. And Mikey's was fun. I mean, of course, we made it fun. Although a certain someone (I'll give you a hint: her mom's blind) was taking pictures down people's shirts and up one person's skirt (I'll give you a hint: she looks exactly like me) with Mike Hill's camera. So that's cool. Thanks a friggin lot.

i think this sums up the past four years

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost

WAIT

who took nam? can anyone tell me what "Home Before Morning" was about briefly so i can write a paper on it? i checked spark notes its not on there.

Thursday, May 19, 2005

oh no! sith!

so, this evening i went to see revenge of the sith with ella and jon... don't worry, i'm not going to reveal anything important. it was SOOOOO much better than episodes one and two!! why? it had several really good things going for it:

1. hardly any romance (thank god!)
2. only tiny tiny amount of child acting
3. pretty cool special effects
4. lots of dark shots of anakin's face
5. they really tried (and generally succeeded) to connect with the original trilogy

things they should have avoided:

1. chewbacca, for goodness' sake!
2. yoda's way of speech, overdoing
3. honestly, how many hands can you cut off in six movies?
4. "intimate" scenes with padme and anakin
5. this one green alien dude that had a really stupid voice

i'm sure more will come to me eventually, but please see the movie and let's have a lively conversation, shall we?

South County?

ok so tonight me and christie were just sitting at home watching whose line whlie my dad is at work and my mom and jane went out to eat. marge and mike were sleeping and michelle was up at SMMA (for those of you who dont know what that is it is the gradeschool i went to its right across the street from my subdivision and everyone and there mother went there). anyways in 7th and 8th grade the cool thing to do is hang out at school and watch the guys play sports. so michelle and her friends and bf were up there and they all left and she got offered a ride but shes like "ill just walk home". so she gets to the front of the subdivision and this man in a pick up truck was driving down ringer (the road my subdivision is off). the car drives past her, slams on the brakes, and pulls a u turn and starts driving towards her. so she starts running to our house. the guy parks the car in front of the subdivision and she said she didnt look back but she heard his door slam. she came running in the door crying all freaked out so i run outside to see if the creep was still out there. i see the pick up truck peel out and drive away. good thing shes ok. whats up with all the recent crime in south county? my dads car got broken into like two weeks ago. actually, all growing up there have been lots of murders around my house. my neighbors had their house burned down but they didnt die by some guy. my other neighbor was raped and killed and a nother neighbor murdered by his brother in law. wtf?

MORE IMPORTANT SEINFELD INFO

i lied...it actually comes on at 6:30 on fox

IMPORTANT SEINFELD INFO!

ok so you know how i always do that elaine thing where instead of saying "no" i go "mmm...mmm" and shake my head with that weird look on my face? well if you dont go to hell. if you do that episode of seinfeld is on tonight. at 6. which is in one minute. watch it.

Menopause?

I think I may be going through premature menopause. Or maybe I'm just a freaky hormonal teenager. I've been having the weirdest mood swings lately. Tuesday I was in the crappiest mood. I don't even know why. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Class Day kinda sucked ass. But I was sooo pissy. And then today, I've been so completely slap happy. This convertible was driving down the street with these three guys sitting up on the back and they honked at me and Merge and I asked them for a ride to McDonald's. And then I just laughed. And while I was at McDonald's, I could not keep a straight face about anything. Reba and Anna can tell you all about what a freak I was. I definitely tried to eat Anna's ice cream cone with a straw. But she wouldn't let me. So I had to get my own. Hmmm, good thing it's 2:40 and I haven't had lunch.

My Rant on Mags

so today was our lovely humanities presentations (btw. .our group was amazing.. we just totally got cheated) anywho, so i go up to present and after two sentences mags asks me to just summarize the play... well that would have been nice had the play been about anything... our topic was minimalism... so the play was about nothing.. i just stared at her like are you kidding? the play has a table and four people end of story.. so my huge humanities end of the year exam presentation lasted a grand total of about 35 seconds and it was lovely... mr. hunt did make me feel better about it though b/c he said that he noted that mags told me to be quiet and that she was crazy... so yay! that made it alittle better... i'm just mad that i spend all that time preparing to be told to shut up...
ok i'm done, sorry about the rant.. it was just a frustrating day

are you loser of the year material?

Hey all, the Loser of the Year party is Thursday, May 26th, at approximately 6pm at my own abode. If you think you should come, you definitely belong. There will be awards. And food. RSVP within the next few days so I have some food idea happening.

P.S. If you have ideas for any fabulous awards and/or nominations, please tell me (though preferable not on the blog because it's awfully public-call me or something).

OMG OMG OMG

k so today after work mike was giving me a ride home in his sweet car (you know as usual) and he remembered the way to my house without me having to tell him. so then i was like "i feel bad because youve given me too many rides home since you know how to get to my house" and hes like "no dont worry about it. i enjoy the quality time we spend bonding". and he wasnt kiddding or being sarcastic! isnt that awesome? then he told me he was going to pick something up for me in mexico (hes leaving for mexic0) and he spent a bunch of time complaining about his gf. and i found out hes only twenty one not twenty two. hes so hot and nice and funny and he has amazing muscles from the marines. and he enjoys spending "quality bonding time" with me.

stupid stupid stupid stupid

hey humanities people- how long is this essay supposed to be? and are there in-text citations? mla format? and i'm really glad there was that article about how to make your essay 3 pages longer. how am i supposed to write a five page (?) paper on waiting for godot? it's a play about minimalism! isn't this incredibly ironic? also ironic, it's technically due tomorrow and i haven't started. stupid stupid stupid stupid me. even more ironic, i don't care. i think i'll take a nap....

Tuesday, May 17, 2005

Ummmm...Yea

k so about the senior pranks. people knew i had something to do with it for some reason. i dont know who leaked that information but katie p and a few other people were like "hovis you did this didnt you?" they claim it is "something i would do" but i bet carolyn and her loud mouth (we all know when you are preggy you tend to be bad at keeping secrets) told everyone i had something to do with it. thanks carolyn. when you are ready to pop that kid out i will stick it back in you for another nine months as your punishment.

the agenda!!!

ok so what do we have to look forward to this summer? events, parties, concerts, vacations...? what group things can we do? i dont want to hear about your non group activities cause thats not as much fun. lets make a list!!! ok kiddos... GO!

"her name was lola, she was a show girl...."

also

if anyone has shoutouts for the senior edition, i need them by tonight. the issue is going to be awesome

let's get this party started....

so class day tomorrow. no classes = party. we're gathering at my house (missy) at 10pm tonight. there we'll plan our excursions. then tonight we'll probably do some stuff tonight (dumpster, straws, gazebo). you can spend the night and we'll have an early morning to do the fish (we have fish!) and markers. sound good? bring food and sleeping materials, if you so chose.



"is it sacreligious to beat up a priest with a mop?"- m*a*s*h

when would this pre-lock in party be? at your house before the lock in? well, that would make sense, wouldn't it...i can't. mi familia is having a grad. party that night at 5:30 (which everyone is invited to come to! but i know you all would rather go to the pre-lock in thing, or you have your own stuff to do, so i haven't really talked about about it...but if you would like to come, it's at my sister's apartment on Lindell at 5:30; come to me for directions and such), so i won't be attending (probably).
i think our prom was more prom-ish, but i had a good time at them both. i liked our decorations and food better, but it was a blast all the same.
keegan, that was so embarassing when we went into the middle....i wanted the floor to split and i could fall in...or maybe the electricity to go out and we'd be plunged into darkness so no one could see us. that'd been good, too.
k bye all.

Honestly, I'm going to pass out and start sleeping at the desk

Wow, I am so unbelievably tired, it's not even funny. I wish I could sleep with my eyes open. Okay, so...fuck I completely forgot what I was talking about. Balls. Oh yeah. We're having a pre-lock in party at my house, where all of y'all (yes, I kicked myself) can come over and hang out and then we can carpool to the lock in. Originally, Dave wanted us to walk across the street in a huge group, but since the lock in isn't at Nerinx, we really shouldn't do that. Right, so he doesn't really want parents to come over, because "parents are boring." And that's a direct quote, I thought you should know. Ew, my brain is starting to hurt with all these different colors, but I do it just to bug all of you. So who actually had fun at SLUH's prom? I honestly did, but then again, I like dances. Even though the dj sucked I still had fun- I really enjoyed yelling (to the dj) "man, fuck you, play a full song, jackass!".I'm going to go now because I need to study for anatomy. Balls on a sunday.

Revenge of the Sith

So guys, the FINAL (*tear*) star wars is coming out Thursday, and I want to know who wants to go see it with me. Anne McCarthy is seeing it at the Esquire, and has invited us to go along. And someone I know at Kenrick theater said they have only sold a few tickets, so we go could there. But I need to know as SOON as possible, as it is coming out in a few days.
I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this for a long time. Anakin finally turns into darth vader, and we get to see Anakin and Obi Wan battle (poor anakin has to fall into lava)!

My Life = Scary Movie

So last night I had one of the scariest moments of my life - seriously.
I got home from JT's at about 12:30. I get outta my car and I was thinking "damn I hate going into my house alone when its all dark." My house is creepy when it is all dark and I am the only person home this weekend - my parents are out of town and my sisters dont live at home anymore. It is too big and there are too many floors and dark rooms. So I enter my house, go up the stairs, turn on some lights, and then i realize that i left the back door open. (*scary music slowly begins, you know the creepy stuff that makes you nervous for no reason*). The door was unlocked and open about two inches. It took me a few minutes to remember that I had even left the door open, but I had - I opened it when I was eatin my breakfast. ANYWAY So I locked the door and then thought "wow, that is kinda creepy. thank goodness nothing happened - like someone coming into my house or something." So then I went to go check the answering machine (which is in the next room) and as I am walking to that room I hear a noise upstairs, and it sounded like a the door to my sister's room slamming. (*scary music get suddenly louder and makes everyone in the theater jump and grab their neighbor*) So I jumped about 5 feet into the air. I instantly stared at my ceiling, as if that would do anything... I heard another little noise sounding like something moving around. At first I thought maybe my cat had knocked something over, but no, she was in the bathroom chowing down on some food. So I was shaking all over and I was like "holy shit what should i do???" so i whip out my cell phone, press 911 - but i don't dial it yet, i just have it ready. I slowly ascend my stairs and round the corner so that I am then facing my sister's room. I quickly glance in my room and don't see anyone. I the proceed to my sister's door, and I kick it open (yes I seriously did kick the door) - it flies open and hits the wall and it reveals a room that is.... totally empty except for my sister's furniture. The windows in her room were open and the wind had made the door swing open and then slam closed again. So I checked her room - under the bed, in the closet etc... and there was nothing. So I felt like a complete idiot with my cell phone in hand still dialed to 911. It took me about an hour to fall asleep last night, I was all huddled in my bed trying not to think of other places a person could be hiding in my house. Then I kept imagining someone coming into my room with a knife or something. yeah..... quite a fun time at my house last night.

o and by the way, for all those who can't see the little counter thingy at the bottom of the screen - it is now at 844 visitors since April 26th.

funny story for psychology students

so i have this new dog, right? and she puts everything in her mouth. shoes, tv remote, sofa cushions, etc. she once tore up an entire ream of printer paper. so i was working on my graduation announcements and invitations and such (you're all invited to my party, by the by) and my dad thought it'd be a good idea to show suki (my dog) the the expensive invitations. so he held it up to her and i counted 3 seconds until she lunged and got her slobber all over it. here's the ensuing conversation.
dad: well, what can you expect. she's in her oral phase. (he was a psychology major)
me: well, at least it's not the anal phase.dad: eww....

anyway...

yea! i get to create the first post-sluh prom post!

so sluh's prom? eh on the food. eh on the facility. good music. terrible dj. i was very close to shooting him at the end. was it marty who yelled "you're the worst dj ever"? it's true. and i can't believe they didn't play "like a prayer". that's like a crime.

ugh i'm tired.

nerinx really is conservative

so did any one see our economic t-shirts? on the front it says "adam smith is my homeboy" (adam smith is the father of economics) and on the back is a quote from the movie "wallstreet" (it's from the 80s- charlie sheen, martin sheen, michael douglas-- need i say more?). the quote is "greed is good". so on the one side you got free trade, capitalistic loving adam smith, and then evil capitalistic man on the other. it's a good contrasting shirt. and the shirt is the color of money and the text and stuff is off white. it's really cool. but ms. johnson-budd didn't get it approved by the administration. apparently (i got a call tonight from "karen johnson, your next-door neighbor and economics teacher") there's been a lot of backlash from faculty and administration and we can't wear the shirts at school. ms. johnson sounded freaked. she has to go talk to sr. barbara about it.

what the fuck happened to our school? i'm glad we're leaving when we are. it's only going downhill. soon it will just be a female cbc...

Well Damn

Well damn, y'all suck shriveled monkey nuts. No posts? What am I supposed to do during my prison sentence (Resource Center)? Huh? What now! Let's see...I honestly have nothing to report, which makes me feel very boring. Maybe I'll find something later. Oh yeah, guess who gets to watch CSI tonight? That'd be me! Why's that, Keegan? Cuz I don't have to work Thursday night for the first time in over 6 months. Nice. So seriously, I have nothing to do. Christ.

Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Stop blogging and start. Funny though, cause if I was obligated to blog, all the powers of hell could not get me to touch a keyboard. Eh, maybe Sunday night all this will seem important. Until then I'll use my powerful defense mechanism of intellectualization (eh? Steph? Missy? Keegan?) to convince myself that in the grand scheme of life, none of this really matters. Which happens to be oh so true. See? It's working already.

senioritis

So I was talking to Carolyn and she was talking about how she keeps getting distracted from writing her humanities crap. I asked what was distracting her and a few minutes later this idea was born........ a list of senioritis symptoms:
for those who don't know what senioritis is (i don't know how you couldn't but for those that live in caves all their lives and have decided to crawl out just to check our blog) - Senioritis - n. seeing as how this is impossible for me to articulate, i will steal a quote from conglomoblog (don't worry i will cite it!!) one hears the inner desperation of my mind trying in vain to pull back its last train of thought from the tar pit it has so recently drowned in. All that lasts is a shadow of a memory cast by the dim florescent lights that light a classroom filled with students of equal brilliance. There is nothing to do now but wait for inspiration or memory induced destruction. Uneasily, I let the shadow go and let it slip into the nether regions. - Parker, Tom. "Tangential Memories ." Online posting. 10 May 2005. Conglomoblog. 11 May 2005. . (and yes, that would be MLA form - thank you citation machine. hehehe)
ANYWAY! On to the list!
You know you have senioritis when....... (editors note - the line "instead of doing homework" can be added to many of the following statements)
- you are entranced by smudges on a wall
- you post pictures of random crap (literally and nonliterally) on your blog
- you have 3 papers, 2 projects, and 3 subjects worth of homework to do but instead you look at prom pictures online, google yourself, play free cell, etc etc etc
- you have officially broken the record of one of the following computer games (solitaire, spider solitaire, free cell, hearts, or minesweeper)
- you have broken other pointless personal records (length of time it takes to _______, how many _______ you can _______, etc etc....)
- when you hear your parents coming you hastily bring up some random essay you wrote months ago hoping that it will look like you are doing your homework
- you don't even bother to bring home your bookbag anymore
- you don't even write down your assignments
- you calculate EXACTLY how many hours/minutes/seconds of classes you have left
- you spend time grumbling about how we get out later than other schools and the injustice of it all
- you spend time thinking up senior pranks that will probably never happen
- you make lists of symptoms of senioritis
- you are sleepy all day, not from staying up doing homework, but from staying up all night chatting with friends about how bad your senioritis has gotten
- you can't remember the last time you actually paid attention for an entire 1.5 hour class
- you can't remember the last time you took notes
- you can no longer form simple sentences in whatever foreign language you are currently taking
- you can't remember what language you are supposed to be learning
- you go get snocones daily after school
- you laugh at the little underclassmen who still do their homework
- you have begun to forget math - 2+2 is what now?
- you are constantly checking blogs to read comments and/or new posts and comment on them even if you really have nothing to say
- you can't remember what kind of day it was today (it was a D day for all those that had to stop and think about it - and yes i did have to. hehe)
- you can't remember what day it is in general (amanda and erica on the morning show this morning?? it is the 11th girls)
- you can't remember the last time you actually got up the FIRST time your alarm goes off
- your english grammer has slowly begun to regress
- your days all seem to run together (i.e. now was it yesterday that i did that or the day before?)
- deadlines no longer matter
- you have forgotten the definition of deadline
- you hear teachers use the line "please just turn this in before summer, you know before you leave....
- you can't remember the last time you touched your bookbag
- you spend free periods playing cards (etc) or doing other mindless activities


ok i am done for now. I am creativity and wit drained. (yes those all came from my brain! woo hoo!!)
post more on comments! hahaha :)

there's a reason i don't talk to my mom

so, my mom always complains about how i never tell her things, so today at dinner i'm like, i'll tell you something. so i say how we're wearing extra uniforms tomorrow, then i have to explain why, and THEN... she starts talking about how we have a "persecution complex" and the administration isn't out to get us and i'm all like MOM! this is why i don't talk to you!!

the end


They even had cute little tails. Posted by Hello


This is a close-up. They clipped paper in their hair with hair clips. Dorks.  Posted by Hello


Ok, so I come home from school and I hear kids screaming "MOM" and I'm like what now. Apparently Mike and Marge dressed up as bunny rabbits and were trying to scare my mom. (as if rabbits are scary). Isn't that cute/stupid? Posted by Hello



Just thought I'd make you all cringe.

viva la revolution!!!!!!!

here's the deal nerinx grls- we're going all out with our uniforms tomorrow. be totally in uniform, but in a cocky, arrogant, rebellious way. i'm talking three skirts and five polo shirts and blue shorts. that means all the uniform clothes you got, wear em. together we will break the system! we will have a dress down day, dammit, or we will die trying! what is our empowerment for if not to question and meaningless and trivial life details? we will tell the administration how we should be out of uniform because we can wear 2 plaid skirts at one time! they will bow before our awesome powers and consent like no other! join me! we shall bring change!!!!!!!!!! 2-4-6-8 c'mon let us graduate! 3-5-7-9 you have so crossed the line! (sorry annarita, i messed the first one up) please contribute to the catchy-slogan campaign- we like rhyming
