Alright, so I'm WAAAY behind on my livejournal. Luckily, I've been keeping track of most everything in my written journal. So, since I have like an entire hour to do, well, nothing, I'ma start typing it in. Sound good? Alright.

Spanish is still evil. Always will be. I can't stand it. Aubrey gives us too much homework. And the little pieces of paper .. yeah, remember those? They're going to take over the world by way of folder destroying. Anyway, she has some of the stupidest questions to ask. Here's an example STRAIGHT FROM A WORKSHEET!
1. Ask Sr. Kranz if he puts on jeans on the weekend.
WHAT THE HELL?! What kind of question is that? Friggin weirdo. This teacher needs help.. Seriously. You don't ask that. What kind of shit is on that lady's mind?!
Anyway, Mrs. Dolan seems really pissy today. A few people started complaining because she "didn't tell us she was going to quiz on that," and she just exploded. She said something about anything she says in class can be quizzed on, and then told one of the guys that she didn't like that tone of voice. SCARY! Her face was red and everything! Everyone got silent after that. Heh .. we're all scared of her now. Or, I think that's the case.
.....
I can't wait for next Tuesday! I get to leave school at 10:30 and go to Bismark! I am NOT sitting in the front of the us this time. I'm thinking middle-back. Or, rather, back-middle. Whatever. Just NOT the front. I had an awful time in the front last year. Although .. last year when I'm thinking of was that dumb band day thing. No, wait, it wasn't dumb. In fact, I found it fun. But the stupid uniforms were burning up. Stupid things anyway. They're so damn uncomfortable and UGLY!
The play I wrote is being performed soon. I always seem to find myself smiling whenever they read it. It's just so cool to hear the words I wrote being acted! And although many of the lines are VERY corny, I was told by them after they finished it that it was very good. It really feels good to hear that kind of praise coming from other people my age. I mean, my parents are practically required to say that sort of thing, and other people might just say it to be nice. It's amazing to watch it come to life.
Okay, enough of that. My grandma's really starting to bug me. She's acting all depressed still. One line I read in her journal said it all. She said something about life getting harder to live. Pssh! We let her stay with us to get away from it all! We helped her, we've been so nice to her, we've done everything we could, and she's still depressed. In fact, she's saying things are getting harder!!! What is her problem?!
March 8-
So I managed to switch buses. However, I'm really sick. I was sick yesterday - enough to stay home from school - and I'm sick again today. I came to school today because of the band thing. I'm not going to miss that. I'll probably have to give Amber my ensemble part, though. Oh well. It's better than me messing up in front of everyone.
Yesterday was awful. I felt like hell all day. My ears are, like, permanently popped ... like airplane popped. My nose is really stuffed, and I have an awful cough. I blame Brandon. He was sick last week, and I probably got it from him. I couldn't get much sleep last night or yesterday morning when I should have. Last night, I left the TV on again. Yesterday morning I COULD have gotten more sleep, but my grandma wouldn't stop talking. Even when she knows I'm sick and need my sleep, she's still attention-desperate. It's really getting on my nerves.
March 10-13
I figured I'd group the weekend together, since I'll probably be writing on and off throughout. I didn't really finish off my last one, but I cut it anway. So, I figured I'd start off with how Tuesday went...
I had a GREAT time! FANTASTIC! On the bus, I sat in front of Sam, Sam, Ian, and Forest. Well, actually I was in front of Sam L and Forest, diagonal from the other two. Got their attention with the movie we were watching. I figured Dodgeball would interest them, and it did. From there, things just got better. When interest began to fall, I let Amber Adams watch the movie and I played poker with the guys. it was fun! Sam L brought Hooters cards, and that was slightly disturbing, but the game was fun. We played both 5 card draw and blackjack. Out of the two games I played, I won, well, both of them. I got a 21 in blackjack and a straight in 5 card draw. I kicked ass! And .. I won 2 dollars! Ha! After a while, people started running low on money, so the poker stopped, and we moved on to watch 10 Things I Hate About You. It was great to be talked to. I doubt it had any effect on everyday standings, thought. Still, it was great!
While we were there, I hung around with Sarah. Luckily, Amanda wasn't there, so I didn't have to deal with that. I just sat and talked ... and ate. Best way to ... well, no, that's not true. I could have been playing poker with the guys, but I didn't want to intrude or anything. Still, it was okay.
The performance was good until Chinese Folk Rhapsody. The French Horns missed their part, which threw the flutes off ... and everyone had to adjust. We ended up with a bronze ranking. Yeah, it was sad. There were people saying that out freshman band was better than us. Damn freshman. I can't stand 'em .. or, most of 'em.
Afterwards, Cassie let me try her trumpet. That was awesome! I REALLY want to play it. I might, next year, if the teacher'll let me. Apparently, you can change instruments in that class. hell, I used to like the Clarinet. But I haven't tried any other instrument, and I think that's what I want to do. Pssh. Whatever.
Anyway, moving on, the trip back was fun, too. I almost had to switch spots, which would have killed it, but in the end I didn't. We watched most of the rest of 10 Things I Hate About You until my DVD player went out. Then we just sat and talked for a while - the rest of the trip, actually. I had 3 dollars anf 50 cents in quarters, but we didn't play poker. The story behind that was pretty funny. Sam L had a drink or something in his backpack, and it spilled out everywhere. The story was that "the Hooters ladies got wet and they can't come out now." It was funny as hell! Kinda sucked that we couldn't play, though. Next time, I'm bringing cards and chips. Then that won't be a problem.
Overall, it was a GREAT day.
The scary ting was when I found out what happened on the other bus. Sarah kissed another girl.. They had an "orgy"... Sarah flashed the bus. Yeah, I'm glad I was on the other bus. I would have been more scarred than I am just KNOWING about it.
I was sick again Wednesday. Actually, I was sick Tuesday, too, but I forced myself to go. So I've basically missed 3 days of school. I caught one math class and one spanish class, but that's not helping much. I have to understand 9.1 in math before I can do 9.2. I have to ask someone for the notes on it, and THEN I'll get it done. I'm gonna be so damn busy this week it ain't even funny. PLUS the play... I don't know how I'm going to handle it. Dress rehearsal is both Monday and Tuesday, and I've got to go to those.
We got a new cat. It's name is Nessie. sure, it's cute, but she's not easy to accept as a new, permanent member of our immediate family. I like her color, and she's different, but she's not very playful. It's hard to get used to her. She's just not the same as CC. And no, she was nevver supposed to REPLACE him. Nothing can replace that cat. I MISS MY CAT! Nessie is NOT the same.
My grandma is still here, and really getting on my nerves now. I'm trying to avoid her as much as I can because I don't want to yell at her. Her little dog just gets in the way. And she does NOTHING. She is NOT a child!

I'll add more later. I'm outta time!
