Hello everyone.
Wow. I'm... SO sorry. I really didn't mean to abandon y'all for this long! I've been REALLY busy (which is why I just spent two hours reading pr0n on FFNet and skipped Gym to do my independent trigonometry study). So... yeah. Apology officially out there.
Alright, just to get it out of the way: CAS came. She stopped drinking for a week. And now it's exactly the same. So... yeah :).
I got the House soundtrack!!! Hurrah!!! :) I highly recommend it. On a related note, I'm getting an IPOD TOUCH for Christmas and, as I have never had an MP3 player before, I am super duper excited lol.
On a completely NON-related note, I am having a small min-crisis because I saw this scrawled in a bathroom stall at my school: "Kayla and Lena are hoes." Now, Lena is my best friend (apart from Mandy-boo), and I don't know what I should do. My strategy so far has been to not tell her and dissuade her from going into that stall. What do you think?
This guy Taylor started talking to me this week, which is just weird, 'cause he's never talked to me before. I think it's 'cause he just started going out with my good friend Patrick the Turtle (obviously not her real name), and he wants to get to know her friends, but that doesn't really make sense, because I'm pretty sure she broke up with him. So... o.O for now.
Got my report card back! 87.5 average, which isn't HORRIBLE, and I got a 97 in English, so I'm pretty happy. And I'm getting these really adorable pants that my school sells. Our mascot is a cougar (the Colonel By Cougars!!! Whoot!!!), and we have this thing called the Den, which sells clothes. I'm getting these sweatpants that have cougar paws on the back :P. I'm also getting a "Property of Colby the Cougar" t-shirt and a zip hoodie. Yay!!!
Speaking of hoodies, I can't find my grey hoodie, or my grey sweater... Which is VERY disapponting, 'cause I liked those. And speaking of clothes, my grandma broke in AGAIN and left these clothes. She really likes them, but they're not very nice clothes. She got them at thrift stores, etc. And my mom got really angry. So they're fighting, again.
Uncle John has visited five times during the past two months, and STILL hasn't come to visit me. Last year, he came and we went skating and he bought me hot chocolate and we had a lot of fun. I don't want to tell my mother this, but I miss doing "father-daughter" things. I used to do those things with Dad (my grandfather), whom I regard as a father, but now he's eighty-eight years old and, for obvious reasons, can't go outside often. Uncle John is the only person I can really do those activities with, and the fact that he hasn't even bothered to TALK to me really hurts. I haven't really focused on it, 'cause I have so much other stuff going on, but it makes me feel even more unwanted than I already do. I mean, my father doesn't care to know me, I lost my mother to a bloody bottle, and now Uncle John doesn't even want me. We've never been THAT close, but still.
Moving along... I'm on Facebook now! My friends finally made me capitulate :P. I'm starting a Short People Alliance, and you MUST be 5'3" or less to join. It'll be fabulous :P.
I can leg press 190 lbs.! Go me!!!
Ugh, I have a cold, or virus, or something. My throat kills and I'm caughing and sneezing and woke up several times in the night freezing cold, with a fever. I think it might be because I refuse to wear sweaters - it's always t-shirts, t-shirts, t-shirts with me, and I will wear a miniskirt in the middle of the winter without blinking an eye. I don't really care about the cold that much, but apparently my body does, as it is telling me to lay off.
I'm doing really well in Spanish! With any luck whatsoever, I'll be fully trilingual by the end of the school year. I also want to learn Italian and Latin.
I saw Beowulf this weekend, and Troy, as we're studying Greek mythology in English. I'm reading The Iliad on my own time. There's a LOT of exposition, but it's really good. My favourite character is Briseis, and my least favourite is Paris.
Remember that Brian guy who I liked? Yeah, I realized that he's kind of an idiot. Not that I'm not friends with him, or anything of the sort, I just don't like him like that. He can be pretty stupid with his words... like, in a hurtful way. He's started eating lunch with my group and I again.
I recently found this amazing journal: limyaael. She does these rants against things in fantasy literature that are WONDERFUL.
Two good books: Vampire Academy (more of an eye candy book, but still interesting) and The Riddle, a fantasy novel.
Limyaael is an English professor, and just learning that made me think more seriously about my future. I know that my mother wants me to become a doctor, or a lawyer, or something equally prestigous. All I really want to do is study English Lit and some Anthropology/Sociology/Psychology. She shouldn't be able to decide what I do with my future.
I just got this burst of creativity the past few weeks, it's fabulous. I re-started that novel that I was writing, after writing 20,000 words already. I realized that it was complete crap - not my fault, I started it when I was twelve/thirteen - and that THAT was the reason for my writer's block.
Well, I'm gonna go start my Short People's Alliance now. Adieu, World!
