So here's where things stand right now.  I'm getting a haircut tomorrow.  Not a lot shorter cause I can't go much shorter than my shoulders/chin without my face looking really round.  But I'm going to put in layers and make it cool and choppy.  Which of course is going to make Hogan's braiding job a lot harder this weekend but I have faith in her ( Read more... )

So I'm home... and everyone else is in school taking their PSATs. Which I am not taking. So now I'm reading back emails about the reunion that Andy is trying to plan. And so therefore people can come and stay with me... ack.. REGENTS WEEK IN JANUARY... except that that only helps NY people cause everyone else is in school. But we need to find ( Read more... )

So for the first time in like ever I'm pleased with our local newspaper.  I mean, it's not bad, but it's kind of conservative for my taste normally.  But they're in the middle of a really supportive four days of gay rights articles.  Their polls show pretty good mass public opinion.  And the men in staten island are discriminating pigs but I think ( Read more... )

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully ( Read more... )

Well this basically decides it. Olivia sounds absolutely in love with Simon's Rock and her description basically completes my dream. So no my mother is going to have to listen to me plead with her about making an appointment to go see it since I can't wait till december to go to a discovery day. I need to do this now. I can't wait. I think I' ( Read more... )

Went and took my SAT... pretty easy I think. The math is where my real confidence lies for this one. And that was the idea. To improve the math.

Went to Sara's birthday with Lauren for a bit but it was too crazy with the small folk so I walked home in the rain. I like the rain.

Now global homework. Of course.

I don't envy having to run the ( Read more... )

I forgot about this. I love my friends because they're so random and unpredictable. Who shows appreciation by kissing people on the arm? And Anthony has a random stalker. And wierd stuff today. But awesomeness ( Read more... )

I've realized how much fun I actually have in school. Okay, so most of the people I have a really good time with either are older than me or don't properly appreciate said good time.. except for Keri and Megan who get mutual joy with me about sitting, comparing different pretty black markers during lunch. And then Lilia calls us wierd. She's ( Read more... )

I guess sometimes you know where you belong but it takes a little time to get there.  Today was good.  Had the best conversation that I've had, probably since CTY, with Marc in gym today.  Mary was trying to figure out if Katie was a republican or a democrat (because Katie had no idea) and once they started in on politics Marc went off on his own ( Read more... )

I don't think there's ever an excuse to use obscene language with a child. Ever. There's not a need for it. And then parents wonder why their kids have dirty mouths and unnacceptable habits. And then they try and blame it on the media but they block out the times when they used that kind of language themselves. There's a way to handle anger ( Read more... )
