shirley's birthday
yesterday, january 7th, shirley turned 18, but i didn't get the chance to actually get online cause we went out. i guess i'll start with school...
i finished my trifold, barely, today. it looks so bad, i'm almost thinking about re-doing it...lol. i used a light yellow w/ a kinda light kinda dark purple, which are laker colors, and i'm not the biggest lakers fan. like one half of my board was semi-neat, then you have the ghetto side with the ripped construction paper and the wite-out...which i don't really feel like explaining...i show it to mr. rapp and he just stares at it, then says "you get a D." i'm like are you serious? then james tells me it's D for Done...i just laugh and walk away. Mr. Rapp is so annoyed with me that he tells me to go take a flying leap, i think he meant off a cliff, but i go leap across the LGI anyway. too bad halfway across i step on something and hear a loud popping noise, then i collapse laughing because i'm really scared that i just broke something. maryann told me i ran over her board, and i just felt so bad, even though it didn't really show because i was still laughing...anywho, after school was the pizza party for poms and cheerleading. me and some others went to ms. davidson's car where the pizza was, and i was really dissapointed when i saw it was dominick's pizza...if you don't know what dominick's is, it's a grocery store...well, our coaches aren't really that rich, so i can't blame them i guess?
so while we were waiting for everyone to get there, we just watched the videos for our preformances. i looked like such an idiot with this huge smile on my face because we had to smile, that most of the time i just turned around and started talking to candace because i couldn't really bear to watch. most of the dances looked good, but the holiday routine...ow. me and about 2 other girls were the only people on beat, so it looked as if we were early, even though we weren't. it made me laugh inside when the whole other squad were whining "Holly! You are SO off!" when they're the ones who can't distinguish the simplest beat it's almost depressing...but i won't let it bother me. so then we ate these HUGE peices of pizza, and they said we could have two, plus they gave us a whole can of pop, ice cream, chips, and some candy. i told candace that i would gain about 10 pounds when this was over. mrs pomero showed us our yearbook pictures, and i guessed i looked kinda cute in them. candace and i laughed at the fact that we were the only black girls in the entire squads...if that isn't enough, we're also the tallest. so everyone besides poms left because we still need to finish learning this stupid dance. it's cool and all, but i just don't have it down, and it frustrates me....we only have 3 practices left until pom night. waaah actually, the only thing that's bothering me is formations. other than that, i only have to remember the moves and then i can be ok. so far the only thing i like about the dance is that it's to faint, which is a song that i like a lot.
so when practice was done, i went home and wished shirley a happy birthday, since i kinda forgot. she had this cute little pink dress that i think my momma bought for her, and then it hit me that i didn't really get her anything... she didn't mind, so i pushed that aside. then my sis caroline came over, along with dee's friend shayla and we all went to old country buffet WITHOUT my dad of course, since he was "working." if he went with us we would've gone to olive garden, which is like 6506060 times better than old country. but he didn't go, so i had to kiss my chances of breadsticks, salads, and chicken parmesean goodbye. *sniff.* so of course when we get there, half the food isn't warm and has no flavor..only select few things are good. those stupid commercials lie...so anyway towards the end of my meal where i ususally get ice cream/cake, i started eating then coughing when dee and shirley stand up and start dancing, then of course i throw up. jessica jumps up and runs away, which makes no sense. so i clean myself up then eat nothing else, even though i look at my slowly melting ice cream with extreme sadness...so we left, dropped my gramma off at home, then went to dee's apartment dorm to help her move her clothes in. for some reason i'm SO tired that i just fall straight asleep on her living room couch. then we leave, i go home, then fall asleep again.
this entry is a little TOO long, so i really doubt anyone will have gotten this far. if you have then...yay?
