Tomorrow is my birthday today was my party. Five of my friends and I went to Dave and Busters, well really four cuz Lena couldn't come last minute, she couldn't get grounded tomorrow. Had fun there won lots of tickets came back had cake, my great aunt and uncle came over as well as my uncle and his boyfriend for the cake bit. It had lots of crunchies I was happy. Hung out a while afterwards, watched Mean Girls and don't care for that movie much. I had fun, got kool stuff. It will be a nice memory.

I wanted to do something with Lauren because she couldn't come to my birthday party. We spent a few hours at the mall shopping then saw Corpse Bride and paid as a gift, thanx again. Some may want my verdict on the movie, since about everyone of my friends offered to see it with me and mentioned it to me as soon as the heard of a stop-motion film by the maker of The Nightmare Before Christmas which happens to be Victoria's favorite movie. By the way I knew about before anyone else anyway. Did I like it *drum roll* yes? Was it anything close to the greatness of NBC? No, I knew it wasn't going to be. I was a bit surprised it did have a few song about four I wasn't expecting that. They weren't that great though there was one I like a lot. The stop motion was awesome and I did like Burtons touch. The story was based of a Russian folktale, stemming from Jewish girls while on their way to the church to be married, were killed to prevent from reproducing and Jewish tradition buries a person in whatever they were wearing. Despite how cool that sounds I think the story was a little lacking and the movie a little short. I did however like hearing my name said over and over in Depps 'can easily be raped voice.' In the beginning the movie suffered from overrating and high expectations. Some may know that the fact that shirts for the movie, as well as for Charlie and the Chocolate factory were being sold before either movie hit theatres irked me. What really pissed me off were the people who bought them without yet seeing the movie. The movie wasn't by any means bad in fact it was quite good, but just a little short of great. It didn't live up to hype and is now probably doomed to live in NBC's shadow. Dim future.
10/7
Day one of a three day weekend
10/8
Went to Starbucks with Kassie and Irene last night it was a long while since the three of us were together, brought me back three years and two bra sizes. We hung out in my house afterwards till later in the night Kassie left before Irene. I love talking to Irene her word dyslexia makes me mine look like poetry. She can be sweet and cruel at the same time but always keep a smile on my face, she came over today too with all of her bootlegged movies she got from China. Most of them wouldn't work in my DVD player though, we watched Hitch and Miss Congeniality not exactly my type of movies but I enjoyed them.
10/9
Today I had to film a commercial for an English project advertise the Ying-Yang the washer/dryer of the future, one day it may grace our television and make me millions.
10/10
Spending a lot of time trying to spiff up this journal and get it up to snuff. I also made dinner for the family - tacos. I got to fill my craving and no one died either I feel accomplished.
10/11
Today's Meredith’s birthday, I feel so bad because I forgot it. I was trying to remind myself for a week. I was pretty good with remember birthdays so far this year I was all proud of myself. My I can pirate a few songs for her as gift since I can't get to a store. Speaking of birthdays and pirates. I finally received my birthday gift from Jackie I had a few mini-Milkyway midnights (yum) a loofah sponge and my much desired rubber ducky that I requested. He's a pirate, with a kick ass sword I love him so we'll be bathing together later on tonight, and we just might get intimate. Shhh!
10/12
Wednesday day, gazebo day. I actually went today second time all year. It was fun; more calm last time was one big make-out fest with me as a spectator. This time it wasn't like that, though there were two people who do suck face quite a bit. It was a little awkward for me, there are a lot of people which I'm still not comfortable about, but am getting better with. Also talking to Nadia and Sabra now always has and odd feeling because we have lost touch since ninth grade and aren't as close. Actually I was never really all that close with Sabra something which I kind of regret because I heard more about her then from her. I think she was ahead of her time because all of her negative qualities aren't that rare compared to others and is pretty much on the same page as, maybe even better then others, she still got her problems though. Who doesn’t? There were times when the group sized reduced and I had a lot of fun talked to Eric which I hadn't in a while that’s always interesting if nothing else, but now I have Bat Country stuck in my head - I blame Ashley, Caitlin, and that other girl. I was also taught new teen terminology I know what, or rather who scene kids are. Who!
10/14
Friday finally, school was interesting if nothing else. I have another zero to bring this quarter's English grade down. All of my classes were kind of a downer, but I was in a pretty good mood, I love the current whether so much it makes me default setting happy. When I was getting a binder of mine out of my locker I stood straight up but the end of my binder went straight into some guys ass, smack dab in the middle too, he said he enjoyed it though, no fowl I guess. Again it was Friday so Irene hung out after school for a while a new Friday ritual so it seems. That’s about it I guess
10/15
I went and took the PSAT's today. I remember thinking last night that even though it's Saturday I can't sleep in, so on my own for no reason I woke up at 4 went back to sleep woke up again around 5 then again 6:30 rolled out of bed around 6:45 washed my hair pulled in a tail to concentrate better while test taking, sharpened my pencils grabbed the calculator and stuffed an éclair down in the car for breakfast got there early I guess got to sit in the second row whoo! I carpooled with Irene she was the only one I knew well, I saw a few people Blake, Amber and Neil who I talk to but aren't real close with Jon too I guess though I never really talk to him. I was pretty easy till we got the writting section, more specifically the middle part where you had to identify an error; I'd rather do the analogies personally. Afterwards me and Irene went to Dominick’s and got a large pie, we each ate our four slice I guess test taking make ya hungry, right now I so tired. I feel bad because I couldn't hang out with Kassie, I told her tomorrow but something tells me I'll end up breaking that promise, I do have a lot to do I’ll try to get as much done today but I’m pretty tired and am moving at snail speed. Guess I should stop talking about it and actually do it; I'm always getting on Mel for wasting time talking about how there's not enough as is. Hopefully tomorrow I can have some fun, she wants to have a movie night and rent movies, which is fine but I'd rather do something outside of the house.
10/16
Did house work & school work, got caught up with Fast Food Nation, which actually made me crave McDonalds. I rode my bike up there ate with Irene and Bronson who were already there and I FINALLY got Meredith a gift.
10/17
I got Meredith a gift but I left it at home, oops. We also made plans to go to the movies Saturday in her honor she wants to see The Corpse Bride, which as you may now if you go up eleven days or so. I won't mind seeing it again but I'd rather see something else. Since it is in her honor and she gets the swing vote it'll probably be Corpse Bride. As for that I didn't do a lot out of school, nothing out of the normal yet I feel pretty darn good. The no explanation and I think its best that way. I smiled more today than I have in the past month.
10/18
There’s no school tomorrow which makes today kind of like a Friday in my opinion. Since it is Irene came over first we played a chess game, that lasted two hours. Ug, she had the upper hand for most of it in the begging but in the end I won. Then she brought over Chinese Chess, which she said she was better at, she taught me how to play and I beat her first try. Then we played checkers which she never played I slaughtered her in though. Afterwards we started construction on a castle, one we're done with the castle we're going to make a volcano and a few other things, and make it a setting of a movie. Just go with it.
Oh and the tickets finally came
10/19
Wasted the day away did absolutely nothing, and proud of myself too.
10/20
Report cards came I got five A's and one B. I'm pretty darn proud of myself, especially after last year when I let apathy take over and barely pulled B's even got a few C's it just wasn't me. I couldn’t even say yeah I got a C but at least I tried my hardest, because I didn't. O well, I have the exact grades posted else-where. Mel and mom were yelling at each other over her report card, now some of the stuff Mel says I agree with. Mel was mainly yelling at mom to shut-up because she's rude, and can't talk like a human being. Now I agree with Mel on some aspects, but it pisses me off that the same stuff she screams and whines about is the same charge she is guilty of. Not to her friends only to this family she'll admit it too, she treats everyone in this family like shit, wrongfully so. She is the youngest and is way out of line. Now yes, parents can't talk to their kids in anyway that they please, or they shouldn't, but mom began the conversation stern with an undertone of pissed, what do you expect especially having know the woman for how many years, Mel started the screaming, she deserves a lot of the blame. I don't know what makes her things human beings deserve that much. There was more that angered me, from both sides, and the neutral bystanders of Dad and Grandma. I won't get into it because I have a hard time explaining it without having to write it. Their argument is what woke me from my nap, now I have an English project to do, ta!
10/21
O man, that project. I was up to two doing it, first of all, the internet was being slow, and at one point was offline; I had such a hard time find an article. Finally found a suitable one, wrote the summary and essay went to print, printers out of ink. E-mailed it to myself, went to the other computer, that one is out of ink as well. I'm angry, don't know where a spared ink cartridge would be IF we had it, can't wake-up my parents to ask because it's getting closer and closer to three. There is my grandma's computer put to use it I'd have to wake her up. In the morning it won't be a big deal if I wake her up. SO I decide to go to sleep and just print it in the morning. One problem I can't fell asleep, I tried to read, watch TV, lay in silence, I finally crashed somewhere between 4 and 4:30, so on barely two hours sleep I went up to grams room to use her comp. Now her printer has ink it's just not working. My mom had am ink cartridge that we were able to install in one of the printers downstairs but that takes a few minutes and needs to run off a few test papers. It printed but with a few problems, two came out fine, the other two came out really faint. I ended up being late for first by about 15 minutes; I was still able to finish all my work before some other idiots in that class. Took a test second. AT third Mr. Shannon said the light ink was fine, but I realized I forgot to double space it crap, I very nearly did too. We had to write an essay in class m pen died half way threw and for some reason the other five pens I made sure to put in my book bag last night weren't in there. I found them later on the bottom of my locker, guess they fell out. After ten minutes of searching in every possible place I finally asked to borrow someone. I was able to finish but I'm not happy with my work at all, I'm usually 10% happy with it, today it's zero percent. I can easily say it's my worst; I did do what the prompt did so my worst grade will probably be the same as my best grade. You might only understand this if you've taken that class. Had to write another essay for IT with a kid reading over my shoulder correct my grammar and spelling as I went. At least he was helping; this is a group project, 3 of the six works, while the other three do absolutely nothing. -Which by the way, Y is not a vowel it is sometimes used as one but it isn't one, correct if I'm wrong but in wheel of fortune you don't have to buy it. To understand this, you'll have to be in that class, Neil challenged Chris to come up with a word with no vowels. All he came up with was 'Shhhhh' I said crypt and although y is used as an 'I' it's still a y. I did come up with 'hmph' which they accepted. In chemistry we had a lab dealing with fire, Yay. It calmed my hectic essay writing day. You may think on 2 hours sleep it wouldn't be a good thing, but I was actually more energetic then I was most days, I was singing and dancing during lunch, from my chair. Around four I finally felt tired and napped until dinner, we had Chinese food, Mmmmmm (can that be a no vowel word?) all I can say is "Thank God it was a Friday."
10/22
NONE
10/23
Went to the mall in the search of getting me shoes and Mel a homecoming dress. MISSION: COMPLETE in both aspects, I actually got a dress in case there’s a wedding; it’s black so I can wear in case anyone dies too. We didn't get back till late though. I also got a Mad Magazine, YAY.
10/24
Didn't do much, I learned you cannot walk through puddles wearing converse, I got new boots though so hope the problem will be gone from now on, talking to Heather on the phone right now, she's a hoot.
10/25
Ah the sweat bliss of water resistant ass-kicking boots. Nothing special happen today, tomorrow will be awesome, this I promise you.
10/26
I upheld my promise! To day was no normal hump-day wed. The school had a pool party for all the juniors, it was nothing special, but it got us out of class, and I was able to hang out with my friends for a few hours, slightly better than if I stayed home and just slept. Went to Jacki's house for about a half an hour and ate her food, it was my first time there it was nice, was danced for most of it, badly by the way. I slept from 2 to 4 got ready and went to the Breaking Benjamin concert with Heather and Coral. It was awesome! Smile Empty Soul played and a band called 10 years, opened. I like them a lot so I bought the CD they were selling for $10. Jacki ended up being in the row behind us she hugged the singer/guitar player from SES, Sean I think his name is. She started crying I was laughing so hard. I felt like a bad friend laughing at her while she cried whether it was tears of sorrow or happiness, but I couldn't help it. O well you would have laughed too. But Breaking Benjamin was so awesome they played Home my favorite song by them, me so happy! The had an encore and played two more songs, one being 'Blow Me Away' which is another song I love very much and almost made Heather piss her pants. A good night indeed got home at 11:30 went o bed around 1 nothing special, except I didn't do my homework for math, chem., or English.
10/27 & 28 (I'm combining them)
Got up and got ready without any problems despite what a few people in my house thought. Ended up lucking out in English in Science but not in math. Also in English I have a project of sorts to do nothing major but will take at least an hour or two. To bad when I came home I did my math and science, finished reading chapter 9 in fast food nation decided to take a nap around 4 and to the report after. Only I woke up around 5:30AM Friday morning, or today which is when I'm writing this. SO now Fridays update, I'm staying home to finish up, it is my fault my mom woke me up for dinner last night, I said I wasn't hungry and went back to sleep. So after this I'm gonna go search for an article I can use. Wish me luck and happy hunting.
THESE NEXT 3 ARE FROM MEMORY
10/29 & 30
Nothing Special, as far as I can remember
10/31
You should know what day this is, Halloween!!! And yes I still went trick or treating damn proud too. I wasn't going to simply because I couldn't find anyone to go with me, and I had no costume but the Jacki asked me to go with her and threw a costume together last minute. I was a brain donor, wrapped some gauze around my head, a little fake blood, grandmother robe a jar with my brain it and a label reading type: Abby Normal. I was good to go, I went with Jacki who was Sally, Heather who was 'A college student' or no one, Anthony who was Neo, and Steven who didn't have a costume either though if he stood close to Anthony he could just say he was Morphous (sp?). Had fun got lots a candy, my brain leaked on some it though, and Jacki got a lovely pet pumpkin named Nicolai. We hung out at my house afterwards, had a candy throwing fight Neo nearly fell asleep and Tera who more or less invited herself was on Steven the whole time. It was kind of calm but relaxing I enjoyed, had a very fun night. Oh! I did spend a little time with Irene before she went with some of her friend and everyone else came for me.
Here are some pics.
 a loofah sponge and my much desired rubber ducky that I requested. He's a pirate, with a kick ass sword I love him so we'll be bathing together later on tonight, and we just might get intimate.

I wanted to do something with Lauren because she couldn't come to my birthday party. We spent a few hours at the mall shopping then saw Corpse Bride and paid as a gift, thanx again. Some may want my verdict on the movie, since about everyone of my friends offered to see it with me and mentioned it to me as soon as the heard of a stop-motion film by the maker of The Nightmare Before Christmas which happens to be Victoria's favorite movie.

I was a bit surprised it did have a few song about four I wasn't expecting that. They weren't that great though there was one I like a lot. The stop motion was awesome and I did like Burtons touch. The story was based of a Russian folktale, stemming from Jewish girls while on their way to the church to be married, were killed to prevent from reproducing and Jewish tradition buries a person in whatever they were wearing. Despite how cool that sounds I think the story was a little lacking and the movie a little short. I did however like hearing my name said over and over in Depps 'can easily be raped voice.' In the beginning the movie suffered from overrating and high expectations. Some may know that the fact that shirts for the movie, as well as for Charlie and the Chocolate factory were being sold before either movie hit theatres irked me. What really pissed me off were the people who bought them without yet seeing the movie. The movie wasn't by any means bad in fact it was quite good, but just a little short of great. It didn't live up to hype and is now probably doomed to live in NBC's shadow. Dim future.

Went to Starbucks with Kassie and Irene last night it was a long while since the three of us were together, brought me back three years and two bra sizes. We hung out in my house afterwards till later in the night Kassie left before Irene. I love talking to Irene her word dyslexia makes me mine look like poetry. She can be sweet and cruel at the same time but always keep a smile on my face, she came over today too with all of her bootlegged movies she got from China. Most of them wouldn't work in my DVD player though, we watched Hitch and Miss Congeniality not exactly my type of movies but I enjoyed them.

Today's Meredith’s birthday, I feel so bad because I forgot it. I was trying to remind myself for a week. I was pretty good with remember birthdays so far this year I was all proud of myself. My I can pirate a few songs for her as gift since I can't get to a store. Speaking of birthdays and pirates. I finally received my birthday gift from Jackie I had a few mini-Milkyway midnights (yum) a loofah sponge and my much desired rubber ducky that I requested. He's a pirate, with a kick ass sword I love him so we'll be bathing together later on tonight, and we just might get intimate. Shhh!

Wednesday day, gazebo day. I actually went today second time all year. It was fun; more calm last time was one big make-out fest with me as a spectator. This time it wasn't like that, though there were two people who do suck face quite a bit. It was a little awkward for me, there are a lot of people which I'm still not comfortable about, but am getting better with. Also talking to Nadia and Sabra now always has and odd feeling because we have lost touch since ninth grade and aren't as close. Actually I was never really all that close with Sabra something which I kind of regret because I heard more about her then from her. I think she was ahead of her time because all of her negative qualities aren't that rare compared to others and is pretty much on the same page as, maybe even better then others, she still got her problems though. Who doesn’t? There were times when the group sized reduced and I had a lot of fun talked to Eric which I hadn't in a while that’s always interesting if nothing else, but now I have Bat Country stuck in my head - I blame Ashley, Caitlin, and that other girl. I was also taught new teen terminology I know what, or rather who scene kids are. Who!
10/14
Friday finally, school was interesting if nothing else. I have another zero to bring this quarter's English grade down. All of my classes were kind of a downer, but I was in a pretty good mood, I love the current whether so much it makes me default setting happy. When I was getting a binder of mine out of my locker I stood straight up but the end of my binder went straight into some guys ass, smack dab in the middle too, he said he enjoyed it though, no fowl I guess. Again it was Friday so Irene hung out after school for a while a new Friday ritual so it seems. That’s about it I guess
10/15
I went and took the PSAT's today. I remember thinking last night that even though it's Saturday I can't sleep in, so on my own for no reason I woke up at 4 went back to sleep woke up again around 5 then again 6:30 rolled out of bed around 6:45 washed my hair pulled in a tail to concentrate better while test taking, sharpened my pencils grabbed the calculator and stuffed an éclair down in the car for breakfast got there early I guess got to sit in the second row whoo! I carpooled with Irene she was the only one I knew well, I saw a few people Blake, Amber and Neil who I talk to but aren't real close with Jon too I guess though I never really talk to him. I was pretty easy till we got the writting section, more specifically the middle part where you had to identify an error; I'd rather do the analogies personally. Afterwards me and Irene went to Dominick’s and got a large pie, we each ate our four slice I guess test taking make ya hungry, right now I so tired. I feel bad because I couldn't hang out with Kassie, I told her tomorrow but something tells me I'll end up breaking that promise, I do have a lot to do I’ll try to get as much done today but I’m pretty tired and am moving at snail speed. Guess I should stop talking about it and actually do it; I'm always getting on Mel for wasting time talking about how there's not enough as is. Hopefully tomorrow I can have some fun, she wants to have a movie night and rent movies, which is fine but I'd rather do something outside of the house.
10/16
Did house work & school work, got caught up with Fast Food Nation, which actually made me crave McDonalds. I rode my bike up there ate with Irene and Bronson who were already there and I FINALLY got Meredith a gift.
10/17
I got Meredith a gift but I left it at home, oops. We also made plans to go to the movies Saturday in her honor she wants to see The Corpse Bride, which as you may now if you go up eleven days or so. I won't mind seeing it again but I'd rather see something else. Since it is in her honor and she gets the swing vote it'll probably be Corpse Bride. As for that I didn't do a lot out of school, nothing out of the normal yet I feel pretty darn good. The no explanation and I think its best that way. I smiled more today than I have in the past month.
10/18
There’s no school tomorrow which makes today kind of like a Friday in my opinion. Since it is Irene came over first we played a chess game, that lasted two hours. Ug, she had the upper hand for most of it in the begging but in the end I won. Then she brought over Chinese Chess, which she said she was better at, she taught me how to play and I beat her first try. Then we played checkers which she never played I slaughtered her in though. Afterwards we started construction on a castle, one we're done with the castle we're going to make a volcano and a few other things, and make it a setting of a movie. Just go with it.
Oh and the tickets finally came
10/19
Wasted the day away did absolutely nothing, and proud of myself too.
10/20
Report cards came I got five A's and one B. I'm pretty darn proud of myself, especially after last year when I let apathy take over and barely pulled B's even got a few C's it just wasn't me. I couldn’t even say yeah I got a C but at least I tried my hardest, because I didn't. O well, I have the exact grades posted else-where. Mel and mom were yelling at each other over her report card, now some of the stuff Mel says I agree with. Mel was mainly yelling at mom to shut-up because she's rude, and can't talk like a human being. Now I agree with Mel on some aspects, but it pisses me off that the same stuff she screams and whines about is the same charge she is guilty of. Not to her friends only to this family she'll admit it too, she treats everyone in this family like shit, wrongfully so. She is the youngest and is way out of line. Now yes, parents can't talk to their kids in anyway that they please, or they shouldn't, but mom began the conversation stern with an undertone of pissed, what do you expect especially having know the woman for how many years, Mel started the screaming, she deserves a lot of the blame. I don't know what makes her things human beings deserve that much. There was more that angered me, from both sides, and the neutral bystanders of Dad and Grandma. I won't get into it because I have a hard time explaining it without having to write it. Their argument is what woke me from my nap, now I have an English project to do, ta!
10/21
O man, that project. I was up to two doing it, first of all, the internet was being slow, and at one point was offline; I had such a hard time find an article. Finally found a suitable one, wrote the summary and essay went to print, printers out of ink. E-mailed it to myself, went to the other computer, that one is out of ink as well. I'm angry, don't know where a spared ink cartridge would be IF we had it, can't wake-up my parents to ask because it's getting closer and closer to three. There is my grandma's computer put to use it I'd have to wake her up. In the morning it won't be a big deal if I wake her up. SO I decide to go to sleep and just print it in the morning. One problem I can't fell asleep, I tried to read, watch TV, lay in silence, I finally crashed somewhere between 4 and 4:30, so on barely two hours sleep I went up to grams room to use her comp. Now her printer has ink it's just not working. My mom had am ink cartridge that we were able to install in one of the printers downstairs but that takes a few minutes and needs to run off a few test papers. It printed but with a few problems, two came out fine, the other two came out really faint. I ended up being late for first by about 15 minutes; I was still able to finish all my work before some other idiots in that class. Took a test second. AT third Mr. Shannon said the light ink was fine, but I realized I forgot to double space it crap, I very nearly did too. We had to write an essay in class m pen died half way threw and for some reason the other five pens I made sure to put in my book bag last night weren't in there. I found them later on the bottom of my locker, guess they fell out. After ten minutes of searching in every possible place I finally asked to borrow someone. I was able to finish but I'm not happy with my work at all, I'm usually 10% happy with it, today it's zero percent. I can easily say it's my worst; I did do what the prompt did so my worst grade will probably be the same as my best grade. You might only understand this if you've taken that class. Had to write another essay for IT with a kid reading over my shoulder correct my grammar and spelling as I went. At least he was helping; this is a group project, 3 of the six works, while the other three do absolutely nothing. -Which by the way, Y is not a vowel it is sometimes used as one but it isn't one, correct if I'm wrong but in wheel of fortune you don't have to buy it. To understand this, you'll have to be in that class, Neil challenged Chris to come up with a word with no vowels. All he came up with was 'Shhhhh' I said crypt and although y is used as an 'I' it's still a y. I did come up with 'hmph' which they accepted. In chemistry we had a lab dealing with fire, Yay. It calmed my hectic essay writing day. You may think on 2 hours sleep it wouldn't be a good thing, but I was actually more energetic then I was most days, I was singing and dancing during lunch, from my chair. Around four I finally felt tired and napped until dinner, we had Chinese food, Mmmmmm (can that be a no vowel word?) all I can say is "Thank God it was a Friday."

NONE

Went to the mall in the search of getting me shoes and Mel a homecoming dress. MISSION: COMPLETE in both aspects, I actually got a dress in case there’s a wedding; it’s black so I can wear in case anyone dies too. We didn't get back till late though. I also got a Mad Magazine, YAY.
10/24
Didn't do much, I learned you cannot walk through puddles wearing converse, I got new boots though so hope the problem will be gone from now on, talking to Heather on the phone right now, she's a hoot.
10/25
Ah the sweat bliss of water resistant ass-kicking boots. Nothing special happen today, tomorrow will be awesome, this I promise you.
10/26
I upheld my promise! To day was no normal hump-day wed. The school had a pool party for all the juniors, it was nothing special, but it got us out of class, and I was able to hang out with my friends for a few hours, slightly better than if I stayed home and just slept. Went to Jacki's house for about a half an hour and ate her food, it was my first time there it was nice, was danced for most of it, badly by the way. I slept from 2 to 4 got ready and went to the Breaking Benjamin concert with Heather and Coral. It was awesome! Smile Empty Soul played and a band called 10 years, opened. I like them a lot so I bought the CD they were selling for $10. Jacki ended up being in the row behind us she hugged the singer/guitar player from SES, Sean I think his name is. She started crying I was laughing so hard. I felt like a bad friend laughing at her while she cried whether it was tears of sorrow or happiness, but I couldn't help it. O well you would have laughed too. But Breaking Benjamin was so awesome they played Home my favorite song by them, me so happy! The had an encore and played two more songs, one being 'Blow Me Away' which is another song I love very much and almost made Heather piss her pants. A good night indeed got home at 11:30 went o bed around 1 nothing special, except I didn't do my homework for math, chem., or English.
10/27 & 28 (I'm combining them)
Got up and got ready without any problems despite what a few people in my house thought. Ended up lucking out in English in Science but not in math. Also in English I have a project of sorts to do nothing major but will take at least an hour or two. To bad when I came home I did my math and science, finished reading chapter 9 in fast food nation decided to take a nap around 4 and to the report after. Only I woke up around 5:30AM Friday morning, or today which is when I'm writing this. SO now Fridays update, I'm staying home to finish up, it is my fault my mom woke me up for dinner last night, I said I wasn't hungry and went back to sleep. So after this I'm gonna go search for an article I can use. Wish me luck and happy hunting.
THESE NEXT 3 ARE FROM MEMORY
10/29 & 30
Nothing Special, as far as I can remember
10/31
You should know what day this is, Halloween!!! And yes I still went trick or treating damn proud too. I wasn't going to simply because I couldn't find anyone to go with me, and I had no costume but the Jacki asked me to go with her and threw a costume together last minute. I was a brain donor, wrapped some gauze around my head, a little fake blood, grandmother robe a jar with my brain it and a label reading type: Abby Normal. I was good to go, I went with Jacki who was Sally, Heather who was 'A college student' or no one, Anthony who was Neo, and Steven who didn't have a costume either though if he stood close to Anthony he could just say he was Morphous (sp?). Had fun got lots a candy, my brain leaked on some it though, and Jacki got a lovely pet pumpkin named Nicolai. We hung out at my house afterwards, had a candy throwing fight Neo nearly fell asleep and Tera who more or less invited herself was on Steven the whole time. It was kind of calm but relaxing I enjoyed, had a very fun night. Oh! I did spend a little time with Irene before she went with some of her friend and everyone else came for me.
Here are some pics.
