Okay, the (belated) story of Agatone (The Official Name of my mom's tiny, purple unicorn figurine) is now starting.
It started with an AP English project. (You should probably learn to love/loathe those words, depending on your sense of humor.) We were told to pick a partner and write our own, original, Greek myth together. (I don't know what our ( Read more... )

 It's been a while, guys, and for that I apologize. I know that when I started this I said I would update at least twice a week, and yet I haven't kept that promise. The truth of it is that I've had very little time to even think about LJ, and every time I do think of it I can't dredge up the energy to form coherent sentences. I'm going to attempt ( Read more... )

 I'm sorry, guys! I've been so caught up in everything that I haven't managed to post anything recently. I've been applying for scholarships and the like. I've also been trying to catch up on my reading of what seems like everything under the sun. With the reading came trying to chip away at my writer's block, which has set in something fierce.

 Fall Break is so close, I can almost taste it. I just have to drag myself through Dedication Day tomorrow, and then I've only to worry about the aftermath. Of course, Dedication Day isn't as bad as I make it out to be. It does bring the Craft Show with it, and most of the teachers don't make us do anything major during the week of it. Still, it's ( Read more... )

 I've just come to realize that I am so corny sometimes. It's ridiculous. (And how awful is it that I still think of Harry Potter when I see/think/hear that word?) This morning in Spanish, I realized that I used one of the single most cliché metaphors in existence for one of my poems. (I look like a duck/But, in reality, I'm a swan.) Jeez, self.

 I just met my cousin's roommate (flatmate? Apartment-mate? Whatever.) He seems like a cool enough guy. Bit of a jerk, but most of my friends are. I think we'll get along if he hangs around for any amount of time. We had a conversation about what we should do for their Halloween party. That turned into a discussion about scary movies, which turned ( Read more... )

Just about every day in fourth period, Government and Economics, someone says something that royally ticks me off or makes me think the person is a complete imbecile. I'm just glad we're finished "amending the Constitution" because that was just awful. Now, I love the teacher. She's sweet and funny and an all around good person. The other students ( Read more... )

 I has it. Or, at least, I was suffering a bit of hysterics in eighth period today. It seemed like every few minutes, something would set me to giggling. It was ridiculous. I blame fever ( Read more... )

  Is a nice, long, uninterrupted night's sleep. I'm pretty sure one of my friends has given me whatever god-awful disease she has because I'm suffering the same symptoms she's told us about. Headache, stuffy nose, sore throat. It's just wonderful. Except, you know, it's really not ( Read more... )
