stuff....
This update took me quite a while to do. About a week infact. I wrote in it on Monday, Thursday, and Tuesday. Fancy that. I’ll break it up into chunks for you.
Monday:
I’m sorry for abandoning my live journal. It’s just that IB is such a tremendous amount of work, and I’m very stressed. To tell you all the truth, the reason I am able to update now is that I’m not at school. I’m home being sick. And to tell you the truth to, I’m not even sick. I WAS sick over the weekend, during my ACT and all, but I feel pretty much fine now. It was actually my mother’s idea that I stay home today and get stuff done. She wanted me to finish college applications yesterday, but I had loads of homework, so she said "Well just stay home tomorrow." I was shocked. But here I am. Home. And I’m not doing much of anything. Well that’s a lie. I’m doing a bio internal assessment. Which, considering my record of internal assessments isn’t much of anything. For those of you who don’t know, I have solid 3’s down the board. So all I have to do is just change what I’m talking about from a pervious internal assessment. It’s rather mindless, truth be told.
I was going, as I sad last entry, to tell you about another annoying freshman, and my dealings with her. I think you shall all find this amusing. Well, the first day, this freshman, (like Nyssa did her freshman year) sat down principle chair in orchestra. Thank goodness for her however, that she plays cello, and not violin, because I don’t really take that pompous crap anymore. Anyway, she’s horrible and so that was annoying. But what really got me irritated at her was how she was so self absorbed and narcissistic. Especially about drama. She emailed the entire drama mailing list with her ideas of what we should do for a show, because that’s what she likes. Keep in mind, she’s a freshman, she’s never been to a drama meeting, and she knows none of us. She tells us that we should do a musical, Les Miz, or Fiddler on the Roof. And blah blah blah, these are the musicals that I like, so that’s why you should do them. At the first meeting, Hannah tells her that we don’t do musicals. Fine. We don’t have enough people, enough money, or enough good male singers to pull if off. Well, at the same meeting, after Hannah tells her this, she proceeds to tell me TO MY FACE, keep in mind that this is ME, that and I quote, "you guys should do a musical so you can give me the main role. I can’t act all that well, but I sure can sing. I’ve always got the main role before in musicals." I just looked at her and said in my snidest voice, ‘my how very interesting.’ So then, after the meeting, she sends an email to the whole cast and crew saying how she would ‘write a musical for a small cast of mostly females because she’s written a lot of shows and, yes, some of them have been musicals.’ Great. Fine. No. We don’t want to do a musical! And then she proceeds to bad mouth the entire Athens theatre program (Athens is her home school) and how the director Mrs. Mandretti is a moron who doesn’t know what she’s doing and dresses all the girls like sluts and nobody can act and the tech is crap and she’s so glad she isn’t there. I have no idea if this is true or not. But what I sent her back was this, "Rose, I can’t believe you just said that. Mrs. Mandretti is one of our close family friends! I hope my sister doesn’t read this because she will be sincerely hurt by what you said. As for all my friends in the Athens theatre, they deserve respect both as actors and as forensicators. I am deeply hurt by what you have just said." Keep in mind that I know neither Mrs. Mandretti or anyone else in the Athens’s theatre program. At least I think I’m funny.
Thursday:
La dee da. Extended Essay is due tomorrow. But I don’t have to work on it. I got an extension so now mine is due on Monday. I guess at parent teacher conferences Mr. U couldn’t stop raving about me. He’s considering me along with one or two others for the award. He says that I have the enthusiasm of a seventh grader with the thinking level of a college student. He says he loves to talk to me and that I express opinions and critical analysis very well. Half day! Yay!!!!
And now for something completely different. -

Tuesday: I feel sure that Kerry has:
California, New York, Michigan, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnisota, Vermont, Conneticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, and DC.
Please, for all that is good and right in the world, for the future for your children, for your rights:
Vote for John Kerry and John Edwards
GET OUT TO VOTE IF YOU CAN!!!
If John Kerry does not win this election I will have lost all my faith in the American public. If there is any good left in our society the people will not vote for George Bush. I don’t really love John Kerry, to be honest, but how can our society be so blind to what the truth really is? I mean, if people look around, it’s Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz who are such frighteningly horrid, greedy people. I am actually scared for the future of our nation if we continue on this course.
And vote no on proposal to as well.
How can anyone vote for a bill based on hate? This isn’t about hate. In this country all people are created equal, gays too. Don’t amend our state constitution to display hate. It’s not ok to hate gay people. You know one. At least one. I know it. Why would anyone try to force their religious beliefs on a whole state? And how could the President give such support to such an evil institution of discrimination? It’s not ok, and it’s not acceptable. Don’t discriminate, don’t allow people to deny human rights.
Please ask people you know to vote no on two and yes for Kerry/Edwards.
