High Heels and the End of the School Year

So...it's almost the end of the school year, which is pretty cool. I can't believe middle school is almost over; it seems like just a couple of days ago I was saying 'I can't believe elementary school is almost over'. Today I went shopping at some outlet malls in Kittery (sp?). I got this awesome pair of black clogs. They're pretty normal as far as shoes that I get go, except for one thing: they have a two inch heel! I've NEVER worn high heels before, so it's sort of different, but it's kinda cool. So...yeah...

Freaking Out (About High School)

Mkay, so here's the deal. I'm freaking out about high school again. They don't know where CBHS is going to be (either ground floor of PHS or at PATHS). Also, I've been thinking about what if CBHS doesn't work out (too easy, etc)? If I transfer out I'd probably go to PHS, as they have better AP and less people that I know (mean snooty people) there, but I also didn't really like PHS when I shadowed there. However, if I transfer out of CBHS I'd have to change high schools, which would suck (and I'd leave behind some friends, such as James at CBHS who I'd miss). Also, the entire idea that I may have CHOSEN THE WRONG SCHOOL is creeping me out. I knew my good mood wouldn't last ^.^.

Weekend

It was a weekend of movies (Spiderman 3, In Pursuit of Happyness, and The Princess Bride), gardening (new plants, new pots, and lots of weeding), and whatnot (my new favorite word). Well, yeah, pretty self-explanatory, besides the whatnot part, and mystery is the spice of life, right?

Brownies Are Yummy (And Dares Are Pretty Cool, Too)

Well, I just finished making brownies (it's, like, my favorite baked good to make). I also just watched last Monday's Heroes episode for a second time (my mom hadn't seen it yet). Let's see...today we were supposed to go to Funtown, but we didn't because it was rainy. That was pretty lousy, because we had regular BORING classes instead. Hmm...and in our class at school it seems like everyone is either 'ZAPing' people or 'ZAPing' people, dare version. I got ZAPed (dare version). I haven't carried through with my dare yet, but out of all the dares I've gotten over the years this one is pretty cool (and no, I'm not going to tell you what it is).

It's Been A Long School Year

Last night I was thinking about how things have changed so much since the beginning of the school year. I mean, I was reading through my journal from the beginning of September (before school started) where I was worrying that everything was going to change and suck in eighth grade. That's what got me thinking; things HAVE changed a lot. However, the really cool thing is that I actually like the way things have changed. I could list the things that have, but I don't want to bore you guys. But anyways, long story short, stuff has changed, and stuff is awesome. Right now I'm correcting a French test that I got an 88% on...so...yeah

Well.

I am tired. I usually am. Except when I have coffee. Though that rarely keeps me awake long enough. I don't get the math homework. I'm writing painfully short sentences. Well, I was just noticing that I don't really write anything new here, it's just basically the same thing five bazzillion times. So, since I want to make a list, here's a list of things you might not know about me (maybe you do, I don't know) *not in order at all*:
1. I don't like Oreos or wafer cookies
2. I suck at geometry
3. When I was in kindergarten I was convinced that I wanted to be a farmer
4. I often get plot ideas from nightmares
5. I've read Harry Potter books 1-4 at least 5 times each
6. I never stay mad at anyone for longer than a week
7. One of my top two favorite authors of all time writes literary fluff
8. I knit (seriously)
9. I read superhero comics
10. I'm addicted to coconut mango sorbetto
11. In general I root for the villians in books more than the heroes
12. Sometimes I can be a girly-girl
13. I know how to play D+D (I blame my brother)
14. I'm a good cook (and I like to cook)
15. I grow bonsai
16. I've dyed my hair three different colors
17. I'm a pack-rat
18. When I grow up I want to move to Ireland (Galway)
19. The idea of going to high school sort of terrifies me
20. I'm better with a bandsaw than I am with a paintbrush

Script Frenzy and Showing People My Writing

Well, as a sort of extra birthday present to James I let him read my writing (almost all of it, anyways), including lots of sucky poetry (one of which was about him *I'd forgotten to take it out*). Also, I'm doing Script Frenzy, which means I'm going to be writing a 20k word script in the month of June. I actually think my script will be pretty good; however, it's going to be really dark. No more literary fluff for me, I'm going to actually write something dark, serious, and (hopefully) interesting. I got a great idea in the middle of the night this weekend and I'm just working off of that. Another thing that will be different about this piece of writing is that none of the characters are 'me', and none of them are anyone I know either. Sure, I can sorta relate to some of my characters, but they are truely works of fiction this time (which is nice in case I decide to kill a character off).

STILL In A Good Mood

Well, I'm still in a great mood. Yesterday was fun because I went to the dance with James and hung out with a ton of my friends at a game night. The music at the danced pretty much sucked, with the exception of '1985', and a couple of other songs (I liked one by Avril, James didn't...). Anyways, I'm still in a good mood, which is like a record this year for me (like, an entire week of being crazy happy...what is with me?) Whatever, you won't see me complaining.

GREAT mood

I don't know why really, but I'm in an absolutely fabulous bouncing-off-the-walls-good-mood. I just feel so good, like I've just had tons of coffee and everything good in the world has happened (haven't had any coffee and nothing out of the ordinary has happened).

Field Trip

Yesterday was totally awesome. Seriously. It started of okay, and then it ended great. For starters it turned out that James (bf) could in fact go on the field trip we were going on to Bowdain, despite his knee energy. Then, we split up onto two buses and there was NO ONE good on my bus (who wasn't already sitting with someone else), so that was sort of sucky. But, then all the kids on the other bus got off and moved to our bus and so I ended getting to sit next to James, instead of someone else who was bugging me about why I was mad at one of our mutual friends (I didn't exactly want to tell him). So, we listened to my mp3 and just hung out :). Then, we toured Bowdain's facilities and had a GREAT lunch (I had a grilled veggie panini - so good). So, it wasn't educational at all, but it was fun and there was good food, so whatever. Plus, on the way back I got to sit next to James again (not kidding I think this is like the first time in history I've actually been able to sit next to someone I wanted to on a bus ride). And, to top it all off it was like, 75 degrees outside.

It's Sunny Outside, I'm Done With My Homework and *gasp* I'm In a Good Mood

Well, like the title has said I'm happy. I had an okay day and then I came home and I'm listening to the Bowling For Soup cd "The Great Burrito Extortion" online that I haven't bothered to buy yet (it got really bad reviews and such). Anyways, it's pretty good, my favorite song is "High School Never Ends"...it's got some great lyrics. It's weird, it hasn't been a great day or anything, but I'm all *squee* anyways. School's going pretty well (A+ in Science, Social Studies, LA, French, and (I think) in Algebra). I mean, when you think about it I should be in a BAD mood...last night's MCR concert was cancelled and I'm not speaking to one of my semi-friends, but I'm in a good mood. I suppose I shouldn't overanalyze it, but that's what I do ;). Oh, the new Avril cd is pretty good too. Like the BFS it's really total pop, nothing new or unique by any means, but it's good. My favorite song on the Avril cd (The Best Damn Thing) is "Hot". I swear, some days I just put that song on repeat and listen to it for, like, a half hour (I'm prone to do that when I like a song).

Actually Doing Something With My Poetry...

I'm doing like what was done with the book Witness, and I'm taking my poetry and putting it together so that it tells a story. It's actually turning out pretty good. I'm just running into problems telling what events the poems are refering to (so that the reader won't be totally lost) without telling them straight out. It's interesting to write, and I'll probably never show it to anyone that I know (it sort of would make them think I'm depressed and screwed up xp).

Life Can Suck...Life Can Be Good...You Get A 50/50 Chance

What the title says. I have stuff to do and I'm tired...so I'll work on this blog entry later....
