Just little old me ranting on random things, including movies, music, crazy people, and Conan O'Brien. Enter the Lair if you dare....

FREE AT LAST!!!!!!!!

The rat bastards in the district finally decided to free us poor school children. I hope my language does not offend, but it just makes me mad thinking about them.

And the fact that I know of five states personally that got out at least two weeks ago...

Yeah, Friday was the last day. I watched the Stepford Wives with my friend Alicia. I highly recommend it--just not the original. I kind of wish I hadn't watched that first. That was Brian's stupid idea. STUPID BRIAN!! Probably not even reading this.... It's pretty much an angry feminist movie from the 70's without a bra in sight. Which holds a certain appeal for many of my pathetic male friends, I imagine, but doesn't do it for me.

I would have liked to hang with more of my buddies at the end of school, but I have no problem with hanging out with Alicia, of course. And burning stuff. I highly recommend that, as well. I took all the loathed assignments I'd accumulated throughout the year, piled them in my barbecue, squirted the whole lot with lighter fluid, and tossed a match on it.

I only wish I hadn't been so thrashed. I only slept for 3 hours the night before because I forgot I had to bake and frost cookies for my final Biology project (I had decided to make sugar cookies frosted with the names of cell organelles as a handout for the class. They were good.)until about ten at night. I also had neglected five chapters of review assignments for Algebra 3-4. That was my own lazy fault, but it still sucked. At least I'm done with that, though I don't relish Pre-Cal.

My classes next year are (in no particular order): AP Language&Compisition, AP European History, Honors Chemistry, Digital Filmmaking, German 3-4, Pre-Cal. Rather ambitious of me, especially considering the number of extracurriculars (about ten, I think) and the number of them I will be in charge of. And hopefully a job, but still no word on that front. I'm stoked about Digital Filmmaking, though. It's going to rock, but I'm going to have to work a lot harder to catch up. I'm technically not supposed to be able to take the class without the prerequisite, but I have connections. :)

Well, this has turned into a rather long post. I suppose I should wrap it up now...

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

One last thing, I swear. I've been playing my cousin's snowboarding game, Amped, and they have some pretty cool music on there. I heard a lot more from Yellowcard, and I'm thinking about getting their CD. And I finally heard The Getup Kids, and now I really wished my stupid friends hadn't bailed on me for that concert (Dashboard Confessional, Thrice, and The Getup Kids). It would have been an AWESOME show.

Okay, now you can go.

quickie

I think one day I'll write a screenplay where every time somebody says something stupid, they get stabbed. Then I'd kill of all the main characters and completely change the plot right in the middle of the movie. It will be horrible yet awesome. Horribly awesome, if you will. Don't any of you steal my idea! Consider it copywrited! I'll sue!!!

I'm calmer now....

NO I'M NOT!!!

Woah, I'm feeling random today. Must be the heat.

a thought

I've noticed something. There are two kinds of blogs that people read (the third kind, quiz results posts, are seldom read). One, somebody's ranting about all their woes and the unfairness of the world and the darkness of their tormented soul, with morbid/depressing poetry intersperced. Two, somebody just chronicles random thoughts or their day. I think I'd rather go with the second option.

School is so much nicer when you miss 2 1/2 periods. I had a docter's appointment which caused me to miss fourth and part of third period, but it ended exactly as lunch began. I could have easily gotten back in time for fifth period. But that's lame. It would have been a boring period, anyway, and it seemed a shame to waste the fact that my older brother was the one taking us to the docter (my younger brother had an appointment, too). So when Graeme commented he really wanted scrambled eggs and suggested we go get lunch, Alex and I were very quick to agree. We wound up at IHOP. That was only the second time I've ever been there, and the first I didn't even have pancakes (go crepes!). It seemed wrong to go to a pancake place and not order pancakes so I had some apple whatever pancakes which came with like five pancakes. Crazy. So we said we really didn't HAVE to go to fifth period, and naturally Graeme didn't care. Rock on.

Wow that was boring and pointless. But seriously, nobody else is still in school. I've talked to people in four states, plus a different school district in this state, and they're all out by now. I hate this district so much. But then, school in general blows, though I seem to have a knack for it. It's so painfully pointless. Grr...

The universe is a crazy place sometimes. I keep seeing all these really strange coincidences regarding a certain person, very frequently. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I can't think of what else to say at the moment...Weird. It must be the sunshine outside. It's destracting, and it does weird and wonderful things to my brain.

yet another quiz...no, I don't have anything better to do.



take the "what's your dark secret?" quiz

lil' help...

Can't think of what to title this poem. I love writing poetry, but titles are usually really hard. I know nobody reads this, but I'm posting it anyway 'cuz I like it. I might submit it to something. Teen Ink accepted my last poem I sent them, but I think I might like to try a contest or something, maybe win some money. Yeah right. Don't make fun of me, because exposing my poetry is very personal--I don't usually do it, so try to encourage me to not be an "emotionless robot" ;).

I just woke up at like four one morning a few weeks ago and had to write this. It was just there, and I put some paper in front of it. I think I wrote the original on the back of a receipt, actually. It's sort of corny, I guess.

Anyway, any thoughts (unless they're just mean) from any random people who happen to be bored enough to glance at my seldom used blog are welcome.

UNTITLED (for now)

Because love is the most mysterious and puzzling,
Yet compelling and rewarding force on Earth.

Because there's no other feeling like love,
And it's never exactly the same.

Because love is a perfect fit
No matter who you give it to.

Because love only gives,
But that is in itself receiving.

Because love never judges you;
It only embraces you.

Because love always has your back,
Even when the whole world is against you.

Because love isn't about you.

It's about raising up everyone around you.
It's not just about loving a man or a woman,
It's about loving your friends,
Your sisters,
Your brothers.
It's about parents loving their children
And their children loving them back.
It's about everyone coming together
And loving eachother as well.
