AND ANOTHER ONE.

11. Drove a car? No.

14. Dumped someone? See above. I've broken up with someone, but it wasn't like, "I hate you! You are so dumped!" It's always been more like, "Geeze, this sucks and I don't really want to do it, but I have to."
15. Stole money from a friend? No.
16. Gotten in a car with people you just met? Probably? I've gotten in a car with someone I really didn't know well. But I never get rides from total strangers unless they know a friend of mine who trusts them and happens to be there at the time.

31. Lain on your back and watched cloud shapes go by? I've lain on my back and looked at stars, but I don't think clouds.
32. Made a snow angel? Duh. It's a crime to live in Russia and never make a snow angel.
33. Played dress up? I used to all of the time at Athena's. I was her doll.
34. Cheated while playing a game? Um... probably, when I was younger. No instances come to mind, though.
35. Been lonely? Eveyone's lonely sometimes. But guitars are a miracle cure.

37. Been to a club? Nope.
38. Felt an earthquake? Yeah. That crazy one back in... whenever 6th grade was. The TV almost fell on Mr. Pinkley, and I saw the band room floor ripple. It was simultaneously awesome and frightening.

41. Been suspended from school? Nope.
42. Had detention? I had it once, but I went to it twice. The first time I went, I didn't have it, and then the guy let me out, not because he knew I wasn't supposed to be in there (because he didn't know), but because I was able to give a good definition of "compassion." The second time, I had skipped science class on a half day. Karina skipped, too, but she didn't get detention for it.
43. Been in a car accident? I've been in a near-accident.

56. Had a dream that you married someone? Yeah, I think so.

67. Broken a bone? I'm surprised I haven't yet.
68. Been easily amused? Lack of sleep gives me the giggles at everything.
69. Laughed so hard you cried? Heh heh... plenty of times. I've also laughed and then started coughing up more lungs than I even have. That was Art's fault.
70. Cheated on a test? :-/ Once. I still regret it.
71. Forgotten someone's name? Yeah, but it doesn't happen all that often.
72. Blacked out from drinking? The most I've had to drink has been a few sips of wine. I think I might go for the wine this Passover, though.
73. Played a prank on someone? Eh... no. I'm not much of a prankster.
74. Gotten expelled? Nope.
76. Failed a class? I failed leadership. How sad is that?
77. Pretended to be scared? Dunno.

80. Did you celebrate the 4th of July? I always do.
81. Thrown strange objects? I threw a guitar pick at my cat. Got her right between the eyes.

92. Been in a band? I've been in concert and pep band.
93. Drank 25 sodas in a day? Don't think so.
94. Broken a CD? I've gone so far as to microwave one. Then it borked because it was brittle.

98. Have a major crush on someone? Yes.
99. Who? FREDRICK. He is my only love.
100. Wonder what people would say at your funeral? *shrug* Just so long as it's honest and not a bunch of, "Oh, she was the kindest person in the world," bull crap. If they feel I was kind, then good, but I don't want to be painted a saint unless I really deserve it, and I know I won't deserve it.
That took me an hour to do.
Anyway, I'm not at school today. My lungs have been in pretty bad shape and I've been coughing a lot, so I need a day to relax. Tomorrow isn't an option, because I have a staff in-service at work, and then I'm busin' it up to Queen Anne to chill with Karina and then go to a spaghetti dinner at Ballard High School.
I got my gig bag yesterday, so now I can bring Fredrick with me to school and other places. I'm happy about that.
Man... Fredrick is so pretty. Every time I look at him, I'm surprised. It's like, "Whuh? That's my guitar? Huh... that's perty."
I just realized that I have to get a check to the pool today. They're ordering lifeguard hoodies, and I wrote my name down to get one, but they need payment today. I'll just have my mom write them a check and then pay her back, 'cause I really shouldn't be going anywhere. The most strenuous activity I'm allowing myself to do is play Fredrick, though I probably should limit that. He puts weight and stress on my chest if I'm not careful.
I ♥ my Fredrick.
I think I'm gonna delete all of my icons and get new ones.
