Go through your blog, take your 23rd post, 5th sentance and post it here. ^^  If you don't have a 23rd, use 17.  Or 9th.  Otherwise just...figure something out! >_< 

...Mine is "I used to always get the chocolate kind, but lately (the last 2 times) I've been getting grape. :o"

o0;  Fun, huh?

   Today went pretty well. ^^  My grandpa came over and fixed the zipper on my jacket because he's good with zippers.  So it works now!  Yaaaay!  I don't have to get a new one.  I want to see how long I can keep this jacket before it dies or something, or I grow out of it.  I've had it for ~4 years now. (it was huge on me when I first got it)  And maybe when I can't wear it anymore I can give it to one of my little cousins or something if they need a coat so it can be passed down in my family, generation after generation!!!  :3 (ooh, dramatic) Yaay, heirloomness.  Plus, when I was cleaning out the pockets, I found 2 secret pockets I didn't even know were there until now!!  That's awesome! ^^  I found a lot of weird stuff I didn't know was there, too.  Like this purple flower hair clip thing I *thought* I lost, these 2 smiley face stickers from those $.50 machines (one's an ugly dog smiley and one's a lifesaver, like the candy)...And this bracelet with green beads I got from my friend from X-Mas that I also *thought* I lost, this wooden coin thing with the star of David on it from this Bethlehem Revisted thing I was in, a butterfly clip, 2 pencils, 1 pen, my stick collection (seriously, i'm not kidding i had a bunch of sticks in my pocket!!), and lots of other various random things.  Lots of trash, too. >__<  But that's all gone now. ^^  Except the sticks, of course.

   Yesterday I saw the movie, Hitch.  It was pretty funny. ^^  Play practice went well, too.  Homework went...er...as well as homework can be. o0;

   Tomorrow's Valentine's Day.  ...Yeah.  Holidays are kinda fun.  Whoooooooo.

The letters you can easily see when you turn it upside down are s, h, i, b, o, l, e.  Shibole.  I wonder if that means anything...? o0;  Well, there are probably others, depending how loosly you interpret the numbers...  Anyway, I made a list of *wonderful* words you can spell by flipping your calculator upside down! Kind of like l33t. Feel free to post any other ones you think of. (no swears though, lol. ^^)

1.  407145!  My dog's name. ^^  Figure it out.

2. Hello. 07734.  Except sometimes you have to put a decimal point before the 0 or it gets cancelled out.. ^^'

3. Lie.  317.  My poor lucky number.... ;__;  I knew it was too good to be true. *sob*

4. Boss. 5508

5. Hi. 14

6. Bell/Shell. 7738///77345

7. Bee. 338

8. Hole/Sole. 3704///3705

9.LOL. 707.  Except that's not really a word. 

...And other various stuff.  ANYWAY, back to reality....  Today was kind of blah, but it got progressively better.  Yay. ^__^  Art museum tomorrow!!!  Then play practice the next day, then prop weekend (DI)!!!  Eeeeee, awesomeness. :3

  Today, today, today.  Nothing much happened today.  Or yesterday, for that matter.  Well, maybe, but not much that I can think of.  (ended a sentence with a preposition WHOA! :o)  Ohh, DI prop weekend was fun. ^^  Felt a little long at the end, but it was still awesome.  The art museum was fun too.  ...Yeah.  Fishness!

   I'm glad I kept that fake snow in my room.  Eventually some of the wateryness dried out and it returned to its beautiful sparkley-white state, insted of the formal greyish mush.  I think I need to add some water soon, though.  I think it's drying up.  It's interesting, though, to watch.  It's becoming this weird apricot-ish color.  Fun.

   Almost March.  Freaky.  o0;  Ohh, but guess what that means!! ^__^  March 17th!  No, it's not my birthday...And it's not St. Patrick's Day...(well, maybe a little...)  But it's 3/17!!!  My own personal holiday. :)  317 is the *luckiest* number EVER! Yeah.  Luckiness.  I should try to do something exciting that day.  Something that requires luck.  Hmmm...I'll think about it.

   Early dissmissal today.  Yaaay.  Although I'm not doing anything too exciting, as you can probably see.  Well, depends on your definition of exciting.   Lots of people could be having a BLAST right now, typing all this random junk!! WHOA!! :o  Not that I'm not...but...okay. I'll probably get of off (WHOA! 2 prepositions in a row!  i'm a rebel! :o ) the computer soon. 
   Ohh, in the school play, I have my own song.  MY OWN SONG!!!  It's 100% awesome.  ...In fact, it's a miracle, since i don't always have the best singing voice...Well, I can sing some songs well! ^^  Okay, maybe it's not awful, just mediocre.  Yeah.  But it's not about singing it beautifully, it's about being LOUD and all that other stuff, which I can defenetly do. ^^   Since I'm the Queen of Hearts, it's about chopping people's heads off.  AWESOME.  I love the last part.  "Your heads would look much better off!"  (WHOA, another prepostion! the queen of hearts is a rebel, too.)

  *****Sentence of the Day:  Tacky teeth hope to type to learn.  WHOA.

   Ahhh....today was...alot.  ...Yeah. -.-;  Eeep, I've been gone all day and yesterday.  So I don't care if it's late. ^.^. I don't (emphasis on the n't) like being overly-busy. @__@;    Yeah.  I had play practice this morning.  It was alright.  But it was kind of funny at the end, when I got to work on my song.  We're going to change it around a little so it'll be all like, "Your head would look much better OFF!  CHA CHA CHA!"  And then I'll probably get to use those cool clicky castonette things.  Yay!  And the lady was trying to explain how I was supposed to act...  She was pretty into it.  She's like, "The queen of hearts isn't just a b****, she's a b**** with *flair*!!"  ...Uhm, sure..! ^.^;;

   I did this Girl Scout Cookie booth sale thing.  We sold seven boxes in 2 hours!!! ><;;;  Kind of a waste of time.  We just happened to be at this Knowlan's all the way up in Maplewood, which hardly had any people coming by. I got to see rachel though, which was fun because I haven't seen her in a while.  (...Not counting last Monday.)  But then we got seriously bored and we had this paper and I started making these signs to hang up outside.  The first one was somewhat normal but for the second one was fairly bizarre.  I made this really weird bit of scribbly...uhm...."art" and then wrote the cookie stuff next to it.  So people would be all like, "What the heck is that?!?" and then they'd read it and they'd say, "Ohhh, it's about buying cookies let's go buy some!"  And then there were the subliminal messages about fish on the sides.  And we started making paper cranes.  Rachel's turned out good.  I *USED* to be awesome at cranes, but I guess my talent faded overtime or something... *sob*  But it was fun because I wrote all these subliminal messages about fish and buying cookies and some postive persuasve words like "AWESOME!" and stuff before I folded it so it would be full of subliminal messages.  But when I was done it looked more like a flower then a crane so I added this stem and 2 leaves, which took quite a bit of tape to get to look right.  I used tape in origami.  Hahahah, I'm a cheater. ^^  Rachel said it looked like a Bird of Paradise (as in the type of flower).  I've never seen one, so i don't know.  Anyway, so now (I put it in my stick pocket, I think....)  I have this TOTALLY AWESOME paper flower full of TOTALLY AWESOME subliminal messages.  Yaaay.

   And THEN I went to my grandma's house to help watch my little cousin.  To be totally honest I'm not really the babysitter-type-person, but my parents said it would only be for an hour, but it turned out to be more like 4 hours....  My brother wasn't paticulartly helpful, either. (*COUGH*COUGH* Evil unhelpful brother!)  >__<;   ...Ohh well, my little cousin is cute. ^^  He loves planes and it's really cute because you can just point at a plane and be like, 'What airline is that?" and he'll say United or Northwest or whatever it is. And he knows some of the different models, too.  For example, I think a DC10 is a type with these weird little jet/wing things on the tail.  ...That's all I remember. ^^;  If you listen, you might not think he knows what he's talking about, but he does, and he's only 3, sooo....YEAH!

   We watched Forrest Gump on TV at my grandma's house.  I *thought* I saw the whole thing, but I guess I didn't because I hardly remembered anything.  I only saw bits and pieces because it was up at the cabin and I was doing other stuff.  I still haven't seen the whole thing, though, because I missed some because I was helping watch my cousin and stuff.  Missed the end.  But I think I saw that already.  Anyway, it's a good movie.  ...Yep, that's today.

***If the pic doesn't show up, which it probably won't, just go here:

http://tinypic.com/view.html?pic=1yn0jk

...Yaaay, it's a picture of my **100% loveable** fish, Pyro.  Awwww, cyuuuute~~!  I didn't color this, but he's shiny yellow with black spots.  It was a little hard to draw, though, since I'm not used to moving targets...Espeially with Pyro.  He can be very spaztic at times.  I'm not sure what kind of fish he is; I forgot.  I'm a horrible, horrible person. ;___;  If you think you have an idea though, please tell me! ^^

   Yikes, I have to go, like, NOW, but I'll just type something really quick.  Today was 100% AWESOME!!!  Yaaaay! ^___^ *so happy*  We have DI every day this week because the competition's on Saturday, which is SOOO FUN! ^^  I have to miss a little of it tomorow though because I have dance. *sob* ;__;

   OHHH I got into CDH!!!!  THAT IS SOOO FISHARIFIC~!!!  It's especially hard to get in because I have absolutely NO family members who have even gone there or worked there or anything...  But I made it!  Yaaaay! ^__^  But it's cool because it's right next to my other school so I can still walk there yaaaaay! ^^

***Random Question:  If you were at a petting zoo, which animal would you see first?

I'd see the llama.  Those things are awesome. ^^

  Yesterday was boarderline crummy, but today was better. ^^  I should probably be doing something less useless, or more useful, or whatever you want to call it, like homework or practing the script or something, but...not right now. ><;  The only problem with that is that I end up staying up a bit later and then I'm dead in the morning, until I take a shower, then I'm fine until the class before lunch, then I wake up at recess, then the class right after that I'm tired, then all the energy somehow comes back after that.  ...Very confusing. 0__o;

   Gaaaah, I get such awful dry skin on my hands! ><  Then sometimes it gets all chapped and I get all these annoying little cuts...  More to the point, I just put this lotion stuff on my hands and it BUUURNS so bad!!! ><  Like this face-cleaning stuff I used to use.  It said, "cool, tingling sensation," but it really should have said, "EXTREMELY PAINFUL BURING SENSATION!!!"  Aggghhh.  ...Okay.

   DI competition on Saturday.  Eeeep.  I don't really want it to end... ;__;  But it's not over yet, so I won't worry about that.  ^^  .......Yet.

   ****Today's Random Question:  Foamy cubes or foamy carpetting?

    Personally, I think a foamy carpet would probably be more fun.  But you never know. ^^  Depends on how many cubes they give you.

   Yaaaay, sooo happieeee!!!! ^___^  We won the DI competition!  EEEEE, we're going to state!! Yayayayayay!  *happy scream*

   Ohh, for some less recent stuff, I got into CDH!  Yaaaaay! ^^  I just never got around to posting it.

   Ohh, on a darker note, my fish died. ;__;  Gemma.  She looked just like Pyro, if you saw the picture from before *pokes previous entry*, except she was a slightly paler yellow.  But you probably wouldn't be able to tell, because that drawing's just black-and-white... @__@;  I took good care of them and all, but she got stuck in this one thing...  We got her out, but she got scratched up pretty bad. ;__;  She seemed just fine though, she was swimming around okay.  But she got progressively worse and ended up only living until the next day.  She was dead when i got back from DI (last friday). ;__;  I feel bad for Pyro, though.  They were so cute, always following each other around....   I'll miss her! :'(

   Yesterday i went to my friend Anna's house and we did stuff and it was fun.  Then we went to the DI party at Snuffy's, which was fun. ^^  Everyone left right after we ate, though.  Oh well.  I left a scratch on the candy-claw machine. ^^;  I was swirling it around, and...yeah.  It broke, which was fun. ^^  Only temporrarily, though.  it was a play-until-you-win game, but 4 times I got something, but it didn't count it and I got to go again. Yaaaay.  I still only got one thing each time, but for 25 cents, it's not too bad.  Unlike Tyler who got 2 pathetic-sized tootsie rolls for 50 cents.  Hahah.  Ohh, I got to meet Carter in real life.  Everyone else I had already seen before.  ^^  ...Yup.  And that was yesterday.

   Today was pretty normal.  I had hot lunch, yaaay.  No more rotting carrots. ^^  Improv was fun.  Arrrgh, I still have all these stupid Girl Scout Cookies to deliver.  I swear, I'm never taking orders from school again.

-__-;  No, you may not have them for free.  Because then I'd have to pay. ><;  ...Yeah!  So, they don't fit into my locker, so I didn't want to drag them home because my dad's not home so he couldn't pick me up, so i stuffed them into my brother's locker.  Hahahah. ^__^

   WHOA I haven't been here in forever. ^.^;  Eeeeep!  ....Anyway, hi.  Guess what?!  My half-birthday was 4 days ago! ^^  And it passed by, totally unnoticed, even by me. o0;  And yesterday was pi day.  3/14!  And in 2 days it'll be Lucky Fish Day! ^__^  Oh, and I guess St. Patrick's Day, too.  No school on Friday, yaaaaay! Except I still have math, because CDH has class, noooooo.... And it's a test, too. -.-;;  Ermm.....anyways....

   Improv was yesterday.  That was fun. ^^  Then when I got home I got this creepy letter from my pen pal...  ...Yeah, I'm not going to get into that.  And then..er...okay, this has been a pretty normal week.  Ohh, I had my friend over this weekend.  Yaaaaay.  Then on Saturday I got to eat at Chipotle!  I *looove* Chipotle!  Especially the steak kind.... *___*

   Ahhh, it's a good thing I read this over....  Typoness.  Eeep, I used to be okay at typing...but now I've been killed by the typo monster.  *dies* >__<;

   ....Mutilated melons. o0; (...Okay, I had to throw that in somewhere. ^^; )

  On your next post, post it to mutilated melons!  Then we can start our own group of...mutilated melon people! ^__^  Wouldn't that be awesome?!

...Erk, I did *not* mean to change the colors on this.... ><;  *annoyed*  But I don't feel like fixing it now, so yeah.  Oh well, blue and orange are fun.  Just like fish! Fish are fun. ^^

   I found my camera!  Yaaaay! ^^  It's been missing for SO long!  And to celebrate, I'm taking it (almost) everwhere with me.  *snaps pictures of random people*  YAY!  I can't wait to see the roll of film that was already in there, it's been in there for quite a while and I forgot what it was all of.  It'll be nice because I like to look at my photos, but they're all from about 2 years ago! ><;  ...Yeah, so it'll be nice to take some new ones.  Then I'll probably be a little more enthusiastic about actually DOING something with them instead of just leaving them in some album thingie.

   I did stuff with my friend yesterday, we had ice cream, YAAAY!  And it was chocolate.  Yay to chocolate. 

   Whooo, I have spring break this week!  *spring break dance*  Mwahah, I'm not in school right now! ^^  *no school dance*

http://www.imagehosting.us/?id=344501&type=viewpic

...Yaaaay....Just to warn you, though, it's a pretty big image since I didn't bother to try and size it down a bit.  So....yeah. ^_^

....Somehow I didn't get to sleep until 3 AM. ><;  Something between going to bed late and taking several hours to fall asleep.  WHY did I leave the cool radio station on??  It's fun to listen to, but the music keeps me up all night.  So, what am I doing here, instead of sleeping?  I have nooo idea.  My body just randomly decided to wake me up at 8 and not let me fall back asleep. Sooo, here I am.

   Soo, somewhere around 2:30 in the morning, I wrote this....uhm....."poem."  Yeah, that's what we'll call it. ^.^;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like doors

But you need a floor

To have a door

".....WHERE'S 'MAH DOOR?!?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...When I first thought of it, it didn't have a meaning.  But when you really, really think about it, I suppose it does have some deep, inner meaning.  You just have to FIND it!!! (good luck *cough**cough*) (well, actually, it's not that hard, if you think about it...)  

Subject:  The INSANE CAMPBELL'S SOUP FLAVORS in the BATHROOM and Other Business.

From:  Mr. PERIWINKLE, CHERRY Supervisor

To: All Employees of SUPER-CHEWY FISH Inc.

It has come to my BIGGIE attention that the BATHROOM has been SWIFTLY STABBED WITHIN with INSANE CAMPBELL'S SOUP FLAVORS. I am tired of dealing with UNHUGGABLE employees and their INSANE CAMPBELL'S SOUP FLAVORS. The BATHROOM is meant for OTHELLO.  It is not a NEWSPAPER room.

On a more VIOLENT note, I would like to HUG all of you for the POKEABLE work you all did on the LILAC CANDY JAR account. You should all be WISTFULLY THWACKED.

Also, be sure to welcome STEPH, the newest member of the WHOA department. They will be a OOEY GOOEY DOOR to our family.

SADLY Yours,

Mr. PERIWINKLE, CHERRY Supervisor.

...They're funnier when yoy put in actual people.  LOL. ^.^;;

Once upon a time there has a young HOBO named CHRIS.  He was INSANLEY NOTHING in the FISHARIFFIC forest when he met CHEESY TYLER, a run-away JANITOR from the EDIBLE Queen STEPH.

CHRIS could see that CHEESY TYLER was hungry so he reached into his BUG JAR and give him his GLOPPY CHEETOS. CHEESY TYLER was thankful for CHRIS's CHEETOS, so he told CHRIS a very WHOA story about Queen STEPH's daughter MOLLY. How her mother, the EDIBLE Queen STEPH, kept her locked away in a SKYSCRAPER protected by a gigantic FISH, because MOLLY was so SLOPPY.

CHRIS FWOOSHED. He vowed to CHEESY TYLER the JANITOR that he would save the SLOPPY MOLLY. He would THWACK the FISH, and take MOLLY far away from her eveil mother, the EDIBLE Queen STEPH, and FISHIFY her.

Then, all of the sudden, there was a UBER-BIG HAILSTORM and CHEESY TYLER the JANITOR began to laugh. With a puff of smoke he turned into the gigantic FISH from his story. EDIBLE Queen STEPH SMOOSHED out from behind a PICKLE and struck CHRIS dead. In the far off SKYSCRAPER you could hear a KABLOOM.

THE END.

   Today was kinda blah, but then it got better later. ^^  So now it's good.

...I know I had a weird dream last night.  But I can't remember it!  I remembered it right when I woke up.  But now I totally forgot.  I hate it when that happens.  ^.^;

   I was going to do stuff with 2 of my friends on Monday, but stuff came up, so we couldn't. Oh well, there's always later. ^^  ..Yeah.  Other than improv, today was kinda uneventful.  Ohh, I had the worst lunch EVER!  I had a peanut butter sandwich, a clementine that looked like it'd gone bad (I didn't eat that.  I've had enough bad experiences with weird food, especially after those carrots...>_<; *shudder*), corn chips, and a little box of RAISINS!!!  Ohh, of all things, RAISINS!!!  Not that they taste THAT bad, but...ohh...just the name, "raisins..." makes you feel like a raisin inside.  All wrinkly and purple. :/

This weekend was fun.  On Saturday I had play practice.  It seemed longer than usual for some reason.  I'm going to have to work on my script a lot this week.  I think I know most of it, but I don't know the last scene or the trial scene very well.  it's kind of hard to practice when your lines are once every paragraph  then you get them kinda mixed up.  And a lot of the stuff isn't really conversation, it's just 5 people kind of taking turns saying stuff.  Like when they're chasing the Cheshire cat, it's just like, "Follow that cat!" "After the cat!" "Catch that cat!" "Hurry up!  Get rid of it!" "I'm trying!" "Oh no!" "Oh yes!" "Nooo, don't catch it!" "YES!" NO!" "YES NO YES!"  And stuff like that.  But it's kind of funny, because all I say in the first few scenes is: "Off with their heads!"  Or his head, her head, everybody's head, whatever.  Needless to say, I don't have much trouble learning those. ^^

 Then I went to a friend's house for a sleepover because it's her birthday's today.  That was fun.  We went to Camp Snoopy this morning.  I hate rollercoasters, but I went on it anyway. ^^ I forgot what it's called.  It's the kinda big one that everyone says isn't very scary.  It freaked me out, though!  But by the end it was fun.  It's probably just because I'm not used to it, because I've never really been on a rollercoaster before.  Except fot this one time when I was little I went on the mini-rollercoaster there.  I screamed my head off and yelled that I wanted to get off, but the guy wouldn't listen.  Meanie. :P  And then I went there today and saw how small it really was.  It's tiiiny! o0;;  It seemed so much bigger back then....  Anyway, now that I've done that once it probably won't freak me out anymore. ^^

   My homework took my about 2 seconds.  Yaaay, I'm freeeee....for the rest of the day, anyway.  (...Except for that thing due on Tuesday, but I'm not doing it now.  *is a procrastinator*  MWHAHAHAH! (....And I ended that in an 'h' ON PURPOSE!  It sounds eviller.  I mean, really, between 'ha' and 'hah,' the differerence is obvious.))

   Oooh, I have a deviantart account.  fishify.deviantart.com  ...If you've seen it before, there's nothing new.  I don't think I'll end up posting much on there....But I'm giving you the URL anyway. ^^

   Today was alright.  Improv was fun, though. ^^  I haven't posted in a while.  Anyway, the weekend was pretty fun.  Saturday was the best!  I went to my friend's house and we walked around and fed these ducks and other stuff.  The campus at St. Kate's is really pretty.  It's fun to go on the roof. ^^  Not the roof of the highest building, we probably couldn't get up there, but if you go around you can get on top of this one part...  Lots of cool rocks up there.  It's fun because you can make a wish with it and throw it down so it hits the power generator.  ...Eheheh. ^.^; Took me a few times to get one to stay there, though.  The rocks are always rolling off.  Sunday was less eventful, but still pretty good.  Today was alright for a Monday.  I hardly had any homework, yaaaay!  So now I'm freeee.....well, sort of, I still have my non-school stuff to do.  Like working on my lines, etc.  I got most of the actions for my song, so I'll have to practice those.  Hopefully I can remember everything...?

   ....The word of the day is "squigee."  ....I have a feeling I'm spelling that wrong.  (Or maybe not?) Squeegee?  Squegee?  Ehh, something like that.  But squigee seems right. 

Arrrrrghhh I HATE my computer...!!  ><;  Now it's not just slow, it doesn't even let me sign in at all...But I got lucky today. ^^  For now, at least.

  Play practice today.  It was pretty fun.  I have my lines down pretty well, but some of them I need to work on a bit....Eeep. o0;  Yesterday we had the DI competition.  We didn't place, but it was fun, so it doesn't matter. ^^  We'd miss too much stuff if we went to nationals, anyway.  I'd probably go if we could, but we can't, so on the bright side at least now I don't have to worry about that. ^^  Yup.  The word of the day is thing. ..Yeah. ^^;

  The dance on Friday was fun.  Except they played so much rap/R&B (What's the difference? o0; ) that after a while it all kind of mushed together and sounded the same.  But oh well.  Yesterday I ate at Chipotle.  I looooove Chipotle... *__*  Except I didn't eat the whole thing, so I was going to eat it this morning, but I was tired and forgot to take the tin foil off... ><;  It got mutilated.  But I only put it in for 25 seconds...! ;__;  I scraped off the silver shards, but even after I scaped half of it away it still smelled like burnt rubber so I had to throw it away. *sob*  ...Poor burrito.

   We have to write an intro to our EEEEEVIL term paper, but I haven't even gotten a chance to go to the libray yet...Eeeep...Ohh well, I'm sure I can put *something* together...  Mine's about different types of phtotography.  Like arial, portrait, landscape, underwater, etc...  Infared photography sounds cool, because they filter the light so it's all weird and the colors get all messed up.  ^^  Anyway, I think my topic's probably a little too broad, but it's the only thing I can think of that I'd really feel like writing about, so too bad. ^^

   Ever had a word stuck in your head??  Not a song, but a word??  Or two??  Like chicken liver???  Any tips on how to make it go away???  PLEEEAAASE???! o___0;;;

Gaaah the play last night was so screwy!!!  Everybody forgot at least a few lines I think, unfortunatly including me... ><;  The trial scene was very screwy...Even more screwy than the croquet match, which in and of itself is kinda scary.  Looking over the script, I forgot this one kind of important line (I'm not sure about any other ones, it was very mixed up...), and if I had remembered it would've ended a lot more smoothly....Nooooo....;___;  And then after that all I could think was "eeep that was bad"  and then I forgot I was on this other scene right after (Well, we only actually practiced it once!  The rest we had to do by ourselves at home...), and they had to say "where's the queen?" a couple times before I actually figured out which scene it was because i had totally forgot about it....gaaah, sooooo emmbarrassing! ><;;;;;  Well, I definitly wasn't the only one...  I had to say other people's lines, too.  So I suppose it all evens out? Right?!??  I hope so... ><;  I hope the show today is better...

   Urk, I haven't even had a chance to go the to library yet for my term paper.  I've been too busy with play practices and stuff...  Well, I can do that this weekend.  I'm good at procrastinating, so it shouldn't be too bad.  It's not due until Thursday, anyway.  I actually don't really mind wriiting about it, but we learn about the stuff that should go into it EVERY SINGLE DAY in English class, which completely kills it, and the class, because English is usually my second favorite class, besides art.  ....They killed it...!! ;__;  *big dramatic sob*

  They kind of killed art class, too.  But that's more my fault.  I have to draw myself when I was little, and I found this really cute picture that I was going to use, and then it was eaten by my messy room...So then, at like 7:50 in the morning, I had to race through the old photo album to find a new one, and I found this other one that was kinda so-so...Either that one or this kind of creepy one where I'm wearing this sweater that's really huge on me and I have this creepy smile and my front tooth is missing and....yeah. o0;  Except my head is slightly bigger in the picture because it's taken from above.  So when I draw it, the head's kinda big and it looks like some weird half-anime thing, but it looks kinda like that in the picture..!  So in an attempt to make it look more "real", I end up making it look waaay older, so on the way back from math Laura helped me get rid of it by handing it to the office lady and asking her to recycle it, which she did because she had no idea what it was because it was all folded up. ^^ Yaaaaay.  (We were thinking of tossing it down the sewer, but why should trees die because of my horrible...attempt?  Plus, it'd go to a river, which might kill a fish or something. Evil little thing, it is.)  We could say we lost it, because they lose my art things a lot...  They lost my boarder, when I was almost done, and my landscape, which I spent forever on and was turning out pretty well...If they can lose my art, why can't I lose my own?  Except I don't think they'll believe me because Mrs. Columbus kind of walked in on me and Laura trying to "accidentally destroy" them, because she didn't like hers either...  So she's like, "I wouldn't do that if I were you, unless you want to fail art class..."  ...I could fail art class?  That'd be kind of pathetic. o0;  So I'll have to come up with something to replace it before Tuesday....^^; 

   Tommorrow will be fun. ^__^  I'll get to see Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the movie), YAAAY. ^^  I've read the first book, so it'll be interesting. That's tommorrow, right after my EVIL math class.... ^^;  Even though we don't have school, CDH still does...Ohh well. ^___^  Yaaaaay! ^^ 

   Confirmation was tonight.  I think it went pretty well.  Got to see everybody, which was cool.  I'm soooo happy that we have a while off, since I've been so busy lately...School play and confirmation and DI just ended recently, and the only things left are school and my dance recital in 4 weeks.  I'm missing the Thursday preformance, though, because of 8th grade retreat.  But it'll be worth it.  ^^ 

   ...I thought the curse of the chicken liver was going away, but then when I talked about it, it came back, and I acccidentally spread the curse to Chris...Ohh well, at least I'm not suffering alone...?  Eheheh? ^.^;;

It's so weird, but it's soooooo cute!!!! ^.^  How can you not love a bunch of cute smiley eggs?!  It's impossible!!

   Today was awesome! The movie was pretty good, even though they changed a bit of the book and added stuff.  Yay. ^^  And then after that we got ice cream and we roamed the wall, being menaces to society and all that. Except the only problem was that after the movie I fell into this really annoying sleep-deprivation mode, which is evil because then I can't think straight... ><;  My brother is EVIL, because I was up late last night and I was planning to sleep in, but in the morning right before he was about to go to school, at 7 something, he woke me up just because he felt like it, and then I couldn't fall back asleep.  I sat there for about 30 minutes, but then I gave up and I had to get up and I was tired for the rest of the day. Blaaaaah. -___-

   The curse of the chicken liver is almost worse than ever before.  But the good news is that I'm not the only person anymore.  It's slowly spreading to even MORE victims, mwahahah.  ^^    I've infected other people's minds too.  I guess it's contagious.  Spread the joy, right? ^.^;

   Today I realized something.  .....Ice cream HATES me.  But I love ice cream...!!!  ;___;  Waaah.  Somehow, I feel rejected.

   Gremlyn Day is almost over, yaaay!  No more being gremlfied! ^__^  *throws a bag of mini gremlyns out the window* ...Mwahahah....

be warned, because here are some cases of this happening;

Jake Bullet, of someplace, USA disregarded this letter, and in three hours he left to go get some snacks at a delicatessen, a couple blocks away. he walked down a street, and there wasn't anyone there, he was the sole person there. a paint can fell on his head from a mysterious place above, then he tripped over a wallet, and got his neck sliced open from a sharp... blade, and was never seen again... not that anyone saw him die, anyway.

um... my creativity is used up, so i'll just get to the letter part;

--------

-------

be warned.

you don't wanna turn up, like Jake Bullet, of someplace, USA.

---------

i warning you again....

hey... i could use like a cocacola, right now...

oh wellllll....

---------
hey, this is pretty fun, now i know why so many people write annoying chain letters
---------

here goes;

MESSAGE:

i hate chain letters, 'specially those that are like all "if you don't do [such and such], [something bad] will happen"

ick.

now postefy, my children, rise from your graves...

don't break this chain, or you'll like... face the consequences

  Hmm, I haven't posted in a while. Improv today was fun. ^^ Yay.  The curse of the chicken liver seems to be infecting even more victems, although some people seem to be developing a resistance... o0;  Urk.  Guess what a totally awesome word is.  Shlorp! :3  It's very fun to say, minus the annoying contagiousness of hicken liver.

...Other than that, today was a pretty normal Thursday.  ...Yup...

Err...I was bored? ^^;  Go ahead and answer them, if you want.

1. Dill pickles, or spicy pickles?

2. Favorite soup? 

3. Is this soup REALLY souppy, or just trying to be?

4. What's your "other" name?

5. What color is the keyboard you're using? 

6. Have you been afflicted with the curse of the chicken liver?

7. Do you know what the curse of the chicken liver is?

8. Fish are fishtastic!  (oops, that's not a questuion.)

9. Fweee?

10. If you could choose, would your house be made of styrofoam, shiny objects, or tweezers held together by duct tape?

   I was at my cousin's house this weekend (my twin cousin and my other cousin's house).  It was really fun. ^^  We went to the YMCA because they're members and we went swimming and stuff.  And this morning we went bowling.  Except I'm not very good at bowling..^^;  But it was still fun. We did other stuff too, like we played DDR a little because my cousin plays it too.  On the way back Michael took a toy car/jeep and tied it on a string and put it out the window when we were going like 60 MPH, and it was bouncing all over the place. Like in Napoleon Dynamite. ^^;  He was going to reel it back in to see what it looked like but he was laughing so hard he let go, and then I turn around and there's this piece of string in the distance, just kind of lying there on the highway. ^^;  He kinda got in trouble, but it was still funny.  And on the way back we had an interesting conversation on carnivorous tennis shoes. 

  The Spanish test was hard.  Eeeep. -___-;

   Improv on Thursday was fun. ^^

   ...Yup.  I have a ton of hw because I have to do my whole Spanish thingie. o0;Yup....

   The only classes I had today were art, social studies, and gym!  ^__^  Except the only thing we did in art was pick which thing we wanted to be shown in the art fair.  I couldn't decide between my smiley sun and my other thing, but I ended up choosing the other thing.  But I put the sun in my room! ^^  Along with in interesting map I found in the newspaper.  It shows what areas call "carbonated berverages": pop, soda, etc.  Of course, everyone knows that POP is best. ^^  Some people call it tonic.  ...Cool.  ...Tonic.  (But pop is still better.  Mwahahah.)

   Anyway, I didn't have ANY classes in the morning because I was working on the calligraphy thingie.  I had to do our groups whole section, except for the few lines which flowed onto the next page, which the next page people did.  At first I was all like, "ARRR I don't want to do the whole thing!" since ours is pretty long.  But it was actually pretty fun, and I got to miss more classes, so HAH! ^^  And after lunch+recess there's stuff, and then CDH math (Ohh, that counts as a class, doesn't it?) and then BAM.  ...Okay.  Well, the only *schooly* ones I had were SS and that. ^^

  ....Annnnyways....yeah.  My term paper turned out swell, 194 of 200.  I'd make swell the word of the day, if it wasn't already lollipopness.

   Today was really blah, but it got better near the end.  And recess and interdisiplinary were fun. ^^ ((lol, i was really hyper at recess...^^;; ))  For interdisiplinary I'm cookie monster and a weird old lady (Edith from All in the Family)  I forgot to write the page for my math homework though, and Laura's not home and I lost the school directory so I had to guess what it was. o0;  Ohhh well, I'm sure I'm close snough.  And...yeah.  Other stuff.

   Hmm, I haven't thought about chicken liver much today.  I guess the curse is fading?  Maybe?  Hopefully? Ehh? ^^;

I can't find my glasses. >_<;  EEEP!

...I have this other pair, because my usual ones are kinda old, but I don't like them at all.  I'm not sure what I was thinking when I got them. ^^;

...It shouldn't be a big difference, because the prescription never changed, but for some reason my eyes refuse to adjust and it's like blaaaaaah.  I hope I find them before tomorrow....

Today was towel day, so all day I carried my towel around, which is fun, because it really is useful.  Like for getting caught in the rain and stuff.  I don't mind getting wet, but it's still fun to have a towel on your head.

My dance recital's tonight.  And Friday.  Wheee.  Don't have to get ready quite yet, though.  But soon.

Retreat will be fun. ^^  Starts tomorrow! YAY!  I have to pack.

...The improv show's tonight.  it'll be fun, even though I have no idea if it'll go well, since, obviously, it's all improvized....  We probably should have written at least one or two sketches, but I kept on forgetting! ...Oooops... ^.^;;  Well, it should be good.

  The graduation party was kinda weird.  Not what I expected at all.  But it was uber-AWESOME!!!  they had that huuuge backround thing!!!  ...When did they make that??  It looked....I dunno, hard to make..  Well, it was cool, in a random way. ^^  Anyway, it was REALLY REALLY REALLY FUN!!!!  The DDR thing was cool, but it was weird because, i think it was just me, but it was so big and it tilted weird that after awile it felt like the screen was moving and it makes you really dizzy, so I didn't do too well. Ahh well, it was fun anyway.  ^^

   Last night I slept over at Bailee's house, which was fun, and later that morning Tyler came over and we walked over to the park and stuff, which was fun.  We watched Shrek 2 last night!  I only saw it once before, at the theater.  Except it was kinda funny, the DVD thingie was all screwy and it kept on skipping, and it'd always do backwards anf freeze and weird spots and stuff.

   I was going to make a post about the retreat, but I never got around to it.... ^^;  Ooops.  I guess I haven't posted much lately.  Anyways, it was FISHTASTIC!!!!  Most of the time I was walking around and stuff, I was thinking about swimming, but i didn't feel like, it, so yah.  The s'mores were good.  Those are always good.

   Oooh, random suggested tags! :3  ...Well, actually, most of them aren't too random, except fior the therapist one.  And of course you have to include the spicy pork. ^^  Well, I have to go eat.  Bai-bai! ^.^

   Aggh, this computer is starting to really bug me!!!  it takes three stupid minutes for one page to load! ><;  ...And this computer's pretty new, so it should be fast...It always was, until yesterday.  Hopefully it'll go back to normal...? :P

   Yesterday was fun.  I haven't been this busy in awhile...Well, not really, but it feels like it. ^^  My math class is FINALLY over!!!  Now I'm REALLY free for the summer!  It never really hit me before, because even if there wasn't regular school, there was always math, RIGHT in the middle of the day...(Well, at least you can sleep in! ^^; ) But NOT ANYMORE!  Sooo happy!  To celebrate me and Laura did a bunch of stuff and it was fun.  We went to Chipotle, and I didn't finish it, so I carried it around in my pocket for awhile, and it looked like some weird burrito-tumor.  But I knew we'd be walking around for awhile, so it'd go bad, plus, I had to take it into the bathroom with me, which was kinda blah, and, yeah, I suppose it feels a little strange having a burrito-tumor, so I ended up....throwing it away! ;__;  Well, at least I gave it a funeral.  ...Sort of...Maybe....Ehhhh.

   Ben's party was fun. ^^  I only swam for a little while, and then I spent the rest of the time doing stuff.  Like eating a hotdog.  With a watermelon slice.  Yum.  Tyler found a chip that looked like Jay Leno!!!  Seriously!!!  ....But then ben ate it. -__-'  He ate Jay Leno. o_0;  Then we walked over to ben's house, and I pretty much played badmitton the whole time, because I'm such a DEDICATED player.  ...Yup. ^^

  I just got back from a church picnic thing.  Not at Holy Spirit, at St.Columba, because my grandma goes there.  So we got to see my grandparents and stuff.  The food was good. ^^

   I have to change the fishes' water and just do stuff in general, but not right this minute. ^^  I have all night, right? Heheh, that rhymes.

   Oh, random thoughts from yesterday.  When we drove to Ben's party, there were these 3 huge trucks in front of this one person's house.  They all were piano mover trucks!!!  How many pianos do they need..? ^^;  And then there was this bumper sticker on someone's car that's like, "REAL HIPPIES EAT MEAT!"  Lol, I added that to my list of quotes. ^^;  Well, I think it's great to love animals, but I love eating them too much to be a vegetarian.... ^^;  Eheheh...

   Yay, the picnic thingie on Thursday was fun.  Then later we walked to this ice cream place.  I had a chocolate malt.  Yum. 

   Okay, other than that the last few days have been pretty...uneventful.  That's probably why I haven't been posting much.  Not a whole lot to post /about/.  It's not boring, but...yeah. ^^  I was around.  I was home alone last night because my parents were at a wedding.  It was "adults only", appearently because the food was too expensive. ^^;  ....Yup, that's about it.  Yup, I'm addding all the suggested tags.  And spicy pork.  Oh yay. ^^

Yay, I have my friend Anna over! Whee!  She's at xanga.com, username pirogoeth_805.  Yup. ^^

Anna wants to post stuff: er................. hi? well, most of the "classmates" i know. shout out to: Hilary(softball rocks, and you know it. guess what? i'm a catcher!!!),Tyler(only because our patrol corners were somewhat nearby),and any others i knew and haven't mentioned.  so my life? ok... i guess. i've discovered that:ego lingam latinam amo!!!!!(if you can read this(even though it's very basic and i can do far more complicated things with latin) i be: A.)very surprised, B.) give you my congrats on knowing latin, and just learning some analytical skills, and C.) saying that you're pretty well educated.

okay, if you're bored, you could go visit my blog(listed above) and check up on me..... spread the word that i'm actually paying attention to my "website"... and whatnot. you could start another blog so you could post in my guest book^_^. well.... i'll give this post back to steph(btw, i'm sooooooo happy! back in feb. my borther won 3rd at state in the 3A 135 pound weight class(i'm talking about REAL WRESTLING, NOT that crap you see on TV.)and now he's going off to the big meet in Fargo this summer, and he's on the junior nationals team, i think. he also just transfered to Simley from Totino Grace((stupid crappy idiotic catholic high school)not all catholic high schools are bad..... this is just one of them.)

Yay, Steph is back. ^^  Okay....not much else to say right now....see ya! ^^

...Today has been fun so far. ^^  I had my play production class today, which has been every day this week from 9 AM to 1 PM.  We're off on Friday, though.  The play we're doing's called The Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr (abridged).  It's very funny. ^^  But there's a lot of roles, and only 11 people, so we all have multiple parts.  I myself have 5. ^^; I'm Lady MacB, Actor 2 (which is basically this storytelling thing, which is really fun), Romeo (Lol, but I guess it evens out, since they made Juliet a boy. ^^;  It's pretty fun, except today it was a little weird because it make me randomly start cracking up, a lot, so I'd have to stop for a second...and yeah, that was weird. ^^; ...Eheheh..), Claudius (this king person), and Prologue 2 (basically this short little blorb at the beginning). 

   Anyway, so that's pretty much all I've done today. Yesterday was busy, I had the acting thing until 1 again, then I came home and went online, and then Chris (gremlyn) wanted a free altoid, so, yeah, anyway, we ended up biking around in random directions and looking at random houses for about 2 hours. ^^;;  It was fun, anyway.  Then I went home and basically sat around for an hour, and then I had dance ((Yaaay, I'm taking the summer classes! They're really fun, even though they're harder because it's kind of an adult class, even though there are around 4 or 5 other people my age (it's a /really/ big class).))  Then I got home at 8;30 and...yup, that's it for yesterday. ^^

   The day before that was fun too, I had play until 1, then I had Anna over (as you can see by the post before the previous post).  I haven't seen her in awhile, so, yup. ^.^  I'm using all of the suggested tags today, again. Although none of them are too weird...Although that one is wrong, today isn't boring. ^^ And.....yeah.....that's...er....everthing! YUP! Bye! <END?>

We were at the cabin this weekend.  Added another layer of plywood to the floor.  Not much to say about that. -__-;  Everyone else went to the lake afterwards, but I ended up staying behind because I felt sickish. But I'm better now. ^^

I need to work on my lines more before tomorrow; we need to be off book by next Monday.  It's hard trying to work on lines at the cabin.  I think I drove my brother crazy, whoops.  Then he started throwing Kleenex boxes at me, so I didn't get much practice in.  Although I did memorize this one poemy thing I have to say with Juliet at the beginning, we have to do these really weird movements to them.  It's fun, in a melodramatic way. ^^  Now I just have....the rest of the script.  ^^;  Well, not really, I'm not in /every/ scene...but...yeah.  Anyway, it's fun, so it's worth it.

Stole this from someone, forgot their username. ^^;  Ooops, oh well. :3

1. What's the first word that comes to mind when you think of me?
2. Go to Google and conduct an image search for that word.
3. Reply to this post with one of the pictures on the first page of results. Please refrain from telling me the actual word. 

http://www.quizdiva.net/shortestpersonalitytest/pink.jpg">color="#000000"> You are dreamy, peaceful, and young at heart. Optimistic and caring, you tend to see the best in people. You tend to be always smiling - and making others smile. You are shy and intelligent... and a very hard worker. You're also funny, but many people don't see your funny side. Your subtle dry humor leaves your close friends in stitches.

1. What is your favorite food in the whole world?  Tangerines! :3  I love them, and they love me.

2. What is the weirdest food you have eaten?  I don't eat many strange foods, but I had squid once.  It tasted like a rubber band and had all this spicy stuff on it.  Yup, that was when I was sitting outside with my neighbor, and they were eating it for lunch and he gave me a bit, but it was soooo spicy and I'm not into/used to spicy food, so I ended up rushing back to my house for a glass of water. ^^;  Except that was a reeeally long time ago, I'm sure I could tolerate the spicyness better now, at least I hope....

3. Do you belive in ghosts, aliens, etc?  ...I /usually/ believe in ghosts...So yup. ^^  Although I don't believe they just tandomly go around haunting things, so I'm not really afraid that I'm going to bump into one or something if I'm walking around some dark/creepy place.  Aliens-- I'm open to the thought, but I don't think about them much because I seriously doubt we'd ever come in contact with them, that is, supposing they do exsist.

4. What is your favorite thing to do...? Not sure...I like a lot of things.  But probably drawing, if I had to choose. ^^

5. Do I know you? :-p lol Ok Ok I'll give you a read question. What is your highest grade on DDR and what song on what mode?

Nope, you don't know me. ^^ ((...or do you...? o__0; ))

Uhh, DDR...((I had to go turn it on to check. ^^)) The highest score was AA* (with the little star thingie) on "There You'll Be", in standard mode.  Ohh, but I got an A in heavy mode once. ^^  It was "Drop the Bomb", although I feel kind of silly doing it because there's this little thingie at the end that just makes it look like you're running back and forth, because it repeats realy fast. ^^;

...Like the new theme? It's from My Neighbor Totoro.  I love that movie!!!  I've seen it like a gazillion times.  It's so cute. :3 

  Theater today was SO MUCH FUN!!!  Probably the best day yet, at least the most interesting. ^___^  For awhile, they had to work out a few paticular scene problems, so the rest of us got to work on our costumes.  I found the last one I needed (Claudius) fairly easily.  Then we got to hang out in the costume room and listen to this cool soundtrack.  OHH, the awesomeness.

   There was that big strorm 2 days ago where everthing was just barely missed us, if I remember correctly.  I was in Highland Pool when the tornado sirens went off!  The weather itself was kind of dreary to begin with, I suppose.  Molly invited me to go swimming because it had stopped raining, but by the time she picked me up it was pouring. ^^; The rain itself has been pretty off and on all day.  We had to wait about 15 minutes to get in, because we were a little early with the opening time, and they were a bit slow. ^^;  Then we got to swim for 10 minutes, then the tornado sirens went off.  Then we had to stay in the locker room for half an hour because they can't let us leave until they lift the tornado warning.  I'd think it'd be creepy, but it wasn't really scary.  Storms used to freak me out, not really anymore.  They don't really bug me unless we're camping or up at the cabin or something.  Well, it is annoying when the power goes off, because then you can't just ignore it and do other things and you're usually left stumbling around in the dark.  And the dark makes the lightning seem more dramatic and brighter and creepier.  Hmm, yup.

   Oh, randomness.  When I had Molly over last Thursday, we were talking, and suddenly I'm just like, "Whoa....I just remembed....I /graduated/!!!!"  Obviously, I knew that, but I mean it in the context that....Well, I made this time capsule in first grade, that I wasn't supposed to open until after 8th grade graduation.  Most people lost theirs, but mine was always in the same spot, in the high shelf in the kitchen.  Anyway, most of the stuff was pretty normal.  Except the first thing I grabbed was this photo.  It was just some random guy.  I had to ask my dad, and he said it was his cousin Dan.  That was sooo weird.  What the heck was he doing in there? ^^;;;

It's so awesome!  ^^  Cuuuute!!!  Oh, this one's fun too.

You Are From Mercury

You are talkative, clever, and knowledgeable - and it shows. You probably never leave home without your cell phone! You're witty, expressive, and aware of everything going on around you. You love learning, playing, and taking in all of what life has to offer. Be careful not to talk your friends' ears off, and temper your need to know everything.

  Well, I got back from my cabin yesterday.  It 'twas fun. ^__^  We skipped the fireworks yesterday because we already saw them on Sunday.  Exeland actually has /really/ good fireworks, especially for a town with a population of only ~220. (It's the closest town to our cabin, 6 miles away.)  I think we were a little too close, though.  The fireworks were almost right above us. It was a little freaky at first, because the larger ones looked like they were going to come raining down on us, but it was so far above that the sparks died out before they hit the ground, except for the occasional ones that refused to die out.  One landed by my foot.....yeah, not that it matters...^^;  Ohh, and there was this random screamy guy sitting somewhat near us.  My favorite screamy quote from him was, "AAAAHHH THE CARE BEARS ARE ATTACKING!!!!"  That was interesting, to say the least. ^^

   Ohh, and at our cabin, being one of the only lights for miles, it was creepy, because it was late at night and I looked out the window....there were soooo many bugs, it was like some eerie horror movie. o__0;  One of the larger ones happened to die on the window...It's the huge moth that's about the size of my hand.  It was there when we left, too.  Ick.

Yay, another interview.  These are fun. ^__~

1.)who's your favorite manga character and why. If you could be them, would you?

Kenshin's my favorite, and no, I would /not/ want to be him.  He always gets caught up in fights, and I don't like blood. ^^;  (Plus, I'm a girl, and I'd like to stay that way. lol.)

2/)What's your favorite non-konamix DDR song, what mode do you do it on, and whats your best grade?

There You'll Be, standard mode, and the highest score is AA*.  But I also *REALLY* like B4U, heavy mode, and my highest score is B. It's one of the few heavy mode ones I can do.

3.)if you were given a choice of how you could die, what would you chose,why would you choose it, or would you decline the offer and say it's too cliche to choose how you die(because you're the adventurous kind of lass who thinks that not knowing how one dies makes life more interesting).(?)

Hmm, I think I'll decline the offer, not that not knowing how I'll die would make my life more interesting, but it would creep me out.  I prefer to not think about death until I'm dead, or nearly dead, or something to the effect. ^^;

4.)What is your favorite word, and in how many languages can you say it in?

FISH!  Fish=English, Pez=Spanish, Fisch /might/ be German, I kinda forgot. Sakana is Japanese, and I /used/ to know it in sign language, but I only vaguely remember.  So if you count the vague answers, I know 5 off the top of my head.

5) If someone kindnapped the person you cared about most, and said you'd never see them again, what would you do(although what i'm getting at is, who in the bloody hell is said person(didn't know where to put it in the question.))?

I'm not sure who it would be, but I'd chase after them.  If I couldn't catch them, I'd send the wonderful little fish minions to go get my most-important-person back, whoever they may be. ^^

- 1. Leave me a comment saying, Interview me.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your mindsay with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions

Random font change. ^^ Oh fun.  I get to eat Subway today, and I love Subway, so I'm excited...! ^__^ Yesterday I saw Howl's Moving Castle with Bailee. (Chris and Tyler couldn't come...Aww, too bad...)  It was AWESOME-AWESOME-AWESOME! Triple-awesomeness.  Maybe even quadruple.  I love the talking fire, it's so cyute. :3

Some random details. I also had dance yesterday, which went well, and then I was riding my bike around for awhile.  And then I went back and organized my brother's marbles, because they were just sitting there in a random pile.  They're so much fun. :3  Then I went online, and....that 'twas all.  Although I didn't fall asleep for awhile because I was reading stuff, but that was basically it.

Ohh, on the entry about my cabin, I forgot to mention the....the.....*dun dun DUUUN*....CHEESECAKE!  My grandma brought this cheesecake that her neighbor brought for her to share. ^^ It was soo yummy, it had chocolate chips in it, and was covered with little bits of chocolate and caramel.  Best cheesecake EVER!

I get to go to Anna's cabin this weekend!  I think Rachel will be there too.  It's going to be SOOO much fun! ^.^

"Random men talking." Lol, interesting suggested tags.  Yup, that's all I have to say for now. ^^;  Bai~bai!

I'm going to Anna's cabin this weekend!  Yaaay, it's going to be so much fun!  So, anyway, I won't be back until Sunday.  Bye bloggie! *waves*

Hmm, not much else to say. ^^;  Okay, well, uhh, bye!~

Take the quiz: http://www.zenhex.com/quiz.php?id=1988

"What does your birth month reveal about you?"

September
Suave and compromising. Careful, cautious and organized. Likes to point out people's mistakes. Likes to criticize. Stubborn. Quiet but able to talk well. Calm and cool. Kind and sympathetic. Concerned and detailed. Loyal but not always honest. Does work well. Very confident. Sensitive. Thinking generous. Good memory. Clever and knowledgeable. Loves to look for information. Must control oneself when criticizing. Able to motivate oneself. Understanding. Fun to be around. Secretive. Loves sports, leisureand traveling. Hardly shows emotions. Tends to bottle up feelings. Very choosy, especially in relationships. Systematic.

...Eh, it's not perfectly true, but I'm not going to bother correcting it, because I have this weird way of jinxing myself.  Whenever I say I'm /not/ something, I do something similar to that trait shortly after without realizing it. o__0;
...HTML dislikes me, I think.  At least on my mindsay. ^^;  Eheheh....

   I just got back from Anna's cabin!!!  It was FISHTASTIC! ^__^  In a nutshell, we were basically in the lake for most of the time, and we played DDR and there were other various bits of awesomeness.  Like we listen to the Numa-Numa song on the way back!!!  I swear, that's my new favourite song. :3

   We went tubing, which was fun. ^^  I also tried waterskiing for the first time.  Aaah it's hard. @__@;  Didn't really get anywhere with that, but it was my first try, so....yeah.  Also played on the blob, although I had near zero luck with bouncing anyone off. ^^;  Eheh.  Watched the third Harry Potter movie.  I can't wait until the 6th book comes out...! Just a few more days, right? YAY.  Although I'm going to have to fight with my brother to see who gets to read it first...  Blah, I've liked it way longer than he has, I always read it first.  Plus I read faster.  He's just randomly deciding to get back into it again by reading the 5th one.  Ohh well, can't win everything. ^^;

  YAY, Numa~Numa lyrics!  ~^___^~  And in the non-English version, just for the fun of confusing people.

SW33T!!!!  3V/1N355!!!!! 

Oh yes, fish are yet ANOTHER step closer to our plot of.....WORLD DOMINATION!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Congratulations on being the creator of a new Evil Plan (tm)!

 Your objective is simple: World Domination

 Your motive is a little bit more complex: So another race can take over

 Stage One: To begin your plan, you must first Blackmail a Chosen One. This will cause the world to sit up and take notice, stunned by your arrival. Who is this Evil Genius? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good as an Evil twin/Opposite?

Stage Two: Next, you will Seize control of the Pacific Ocean. This will cause countless hordes of Animal Minions (rats, birds, etc.) to flock to you, begging to do your every bidding. Your name will become synonymous with Fuzzy bunnies, as lesser men whisper your name in terror.

 Stage Three: Finally, you will Activate your Great Supernatural Forces, bringing about an End to Sanity. This will all be done from a Underground Secret Headquarters of Doom, an excellent choice if we might say. These three deeds will herald the end, and the citizens of this planet will have no choice but to elect you their new god. Trust us, it'll all come together in the end.

Two years ago I planted 8 bulbs in our backyard and nothing happened.  Then the next year 2 of them sprouted, but one of them snapped while weeding.  And then this year, the one that lived *FINALLY* got flowers....They're soooo huge!  Yay, I *heart* it so much!  I need to think of a name of it, it's so cyute. :3

   I'm going to my cabin this weekend.  I'll probably have to get off somewhat soon.  Or maybe not.  I dunno.  The new Harry Potter book comes out tommorrow, yay. I thought it was today, but, nope, it's tomorrow.  Yup.  Uh, yeah.  Kind of an uneventful day, but that's because we're going somewhere.  Ohh, we went to that Axman store this morning because my dad needed something...  It was so random. ^^

....Heheh, almost done with the Harry Potter book.  I just finished the part where....nooo, I wouldn't tell you.   Spoilers are evil. ^^  Near the end, though.  Usually I read these MUCH faster, but I just don't feel like reading it right now...eh. I probably could've finished yesterday but my eyes were weirded out from too much reading. @__@  But so far it's uber~good.  I'll make sure I finish tonight for sure, though. ^^

   Today I was around Highland with Anna, which was SOOO much fun. ^^  We were generally in Barnes and Nobles the whole time, reading various manga bits...mwahahah, awesomeness.  Then I got a hot chocolate thing, yaay! ^^  And then I got home, and I haven't been doing anything much of importance, sooo.....here I am! ^^

Today I went to Highland Pool with Molly. It was fun. ^^  Matt and Louie were there too.  Had a giant splashy-thing.  Yup.  Last night I was up pretty late because I was mixing in my new photos into my photo album.  I just got the ones from graduation and the 8th grade retreat developed.  And this really old one from last year in Washington DC...wow, lotsa photos. 0.0;  Lol, they're awesome.  There are some really strange ones, too. ^^  I kind of like the cover that comes with the album, but I felt like making a new one anyway.  I'm in the process of cutting things out to paste them on.  And that's it, yup.  I'll probably have to go to the cabin again this weekend because my parents really want to work on it, but I'm getting tired of going up there all the time....-_-  All this to get ready for NEXT weekend up there, where we'll have lots of people from my dad's side there.....Blaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh............

  Today was uneventful. I rode my bike in the rain fow awhile, which was fun. ^^  Not much really going on, though.  Been online a bit more than usual lately.  I feel like an Internet junkie. @_@;  Eheh, oh well.  I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Bailee, Chris and Tyler yesterday.  It was uber~good.  We went to Chipotle before that, which was uber~yumtastic.  I *heart* Chipotle. *___*

*turns into Chipotle zombie* "STEAKKKK!!!!" *drool* *wants Chipotle*  ...Er okay I'm done. ^^;  Bye?

Your element is Water. You have a calm aura around
you and are in tune with the world around. You
observe it but rarely interfere. Because of
your shy and timid nature you will not have so
many friends in your life. But then again,
large crowds aren't your thing anyway. You are
comfortable on your own and are reserved to
others who you don't know or know very little
of. You know everyone out there does not want
to be your friend, and knowing that is good.
However, people who don't know you that well
thinks that you are cold and distant since you
don't want to talk to them. Although you mean
no harm, you can't always be perfectly
understood in the world. No one can. Life in
general are you quite serene with even if there
are some things you don't like. Your love-life
is not so full of boys/girls, but if you
flirted more with the ones you were interested
in I'm sure something would happen. The hobbies
you choose are calmer ones, you are no party
girl that likes to drink and party all night. Reading
a book or swimming is more your thing. Rate and
message!

What is your element? [with pics + 7 outcomes + detailed answeres!]
brought to you by Quizilla

Yup, I usually get either water or earth.  So it works. ^^

Your soul is caring.
Other people are your concern, even if you
don't know them. If you see a person trip you
worry is he is okay. You put your loved ones
first and you're very mature. When someones
sick you're nurturing and always try to help
family and friends when failure strikes them.
You can be called the motherly one, if you are
in a group of people, which doesn't have to be
bad. Love is something that's already in you
and you have a lot to give whether you believe
it or not. Your friends probably love you very
much and come to when they need help since
you're reliable. People can feel secure with
you and generally like you.

How is your soul?(pics)

~*~Result nr 3~*~

Your power is: The ability to fly

Explanation: This powers speaks pretty
much for itself. Though you don't need wings
for this power,you can fly anyway. Some people
may consider it as telekinesis since they can
also fly, but you can't make material things
move like they can. This ability could be a
relaxing activity when you want to get away
from everyday troubles. Also it is good when
sneaking upon an enemy since it makes no sound.
When going over to the "dark side"
the power could be used to harrass and break
into building through windows etc.
You are quite similar to this power since you
like to have your head in the clouds.
Supernatural things amuse while ordinary life
does not. If your daydreaming has gotten a
little too far you might be zooned out all the
time, even when you are having a conversation.
Your desires and/or goals tend to be
unrealistic even if you know those would
probably never happen. Travelling is something
you would be interested in doing since seeing
exotic scenery fits with your fantasies of
escaping your plain life. You can also have
some creative ability (writer, playing an
instrumen etc) that interests you.
Negative aspects: The whole reason you
may be escaping life could be fear of being let
down by it. So if that would come to happen,
and an important dream had been crushed you
could get depressed.

I got this from Pirogoeth_805 who got it from Blurryeyed:

****Take this and post it in your own blog (but do it first!):

 Ask me ten questions (or as many as you can think of). They can be anything. Anything you've ever wanted to know about me, and I have to answer them as honestly as possible.

Your wise quote is: "Be kind to unkind people,
they probably need it the most" by
Ashleigh Brilliant.
You try to look beyond apperance, try to give
people second chances and are probably very
kind. Understanding is your biggest personality
trait, and thoose you can see through should be
grateful. If they aren't already. You detest
narrow minded people, because they can't see
what's really there. Facades is not your thing
and you strive to always be who you really are.

What wise quote fits you?(pics) UPDATED

Yup, I'll come back later when I feel more like typing and post about my day, so I don't have all these annoying quiz entries....Until then, this'll do. ^.^

   Mmm, I changed my mind, I'm going to make today's entry separate from the quizzie one...It's eventful enough to stand on its own...Not that it matters, but okay. ^^ Today I had my friend Grace over, which was uber~fun.  It's the first time I've seen her since last summer, since she lives in Florida and all....  It was awesome, we did lots of stuff.  We played othello, which was great because I haven't played it in /forever/...  And looked at my (good, not the junky one) photo album, which has lots of odd pictures I find amusing...^^ She did too, since everyone looks so much different than how she remembers.  And other various awesome stuff, like walking around by the school/playground/swings and whatnot.  And we got pizza for lunch, which was soooo yummy. :P  I love pizza. 

    So that was fun...Then she left, I didn't really do a whole lot then...  Ate dinner, etc.  And then I got to rent a movie! ^^ I picked Castle in the Sky, I haven't watched it yet, I'm going to try to squeeze in a little before I leave tomorrow for my cabin.  I've been wanting to see that for a long time, so yay.  So today in general has been completely fishtastic.  And I actually woke up at 9, for once a reasonable time, so I didn't have to yell at myself in the morning for sleeping in too late. ^^

   Yeah, tomorrow I'm leaving for my cabin.  Our whole dad's side is somehow going to manage to squeeze in there, I'm not sure how they do it. @_@  They're just barely enough room for us to all sleep in there....Actually I think last year at least some people were outside in tents....  Anyway, it should be fun, although all of my really little cousins are on my dad's side, so it gets a bit tiring after awhile...But I can handle it, yup. ^^  It shall be fun.

   As for the other unmentioned days of this week, they've been fairly uneventful...  Not much to say.  Hung around the house, rode my bike a lot when it was nice...It's pretty repetitive.  Although 2 nights ago we went to the Mall of America (aka-The Wall ^^), and I got shoes for school, since they have to be brown or black dress shoes.  Yup, mine are black.  Okay, that's all for now. Bye~! ^___^

Hmm, I'm posting because I haven't posted in awhile.  I'm back from my cabin, I got back on Sunday...  Yesterday was uneventful, but I'm going to try to have a friend over today, so today'll be more fun. ^^ Later today I'm going to go and get my uniform for CDH...Yup, that'll be interesting.  It's too bad that we don't get our schedules until the student orientation (August 29th, we still have awhile), because I'd really like to see it and see if any of my friends are in my classes and stuff....But oh well, I can wait. 0.0  Today...well, there hasn't been much of it yet, so there's less to say.  Well, bye for now. *waves*

Aww, so cyute.  It's spinning....@__@;

You're the United Nations!
Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go.  You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result.  But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

   Oh, and today my brother won this gold tournament! Wh00t!  "3M Championship Skills Challenge, Overall Winner-Boys Division Age 16-18". My brother's only 13 but they bumped him up because he was so much taller than the other guys in his age level....Yup, that's cool.  Tropheys are fun, although the only ribbon I ever got was from DI, not that that's a bad thing, it was still a lot of work. ^.^  And 3rd place in the Marathon Day 2003. (6th grade) ^^; Yup, they're both on my closet door.  So much fun. :3

   Well, since we had the block party all night (I just got inside ^^) I didn't get my uniform, so I'll do that tomorrow. Tomorrow's going to be busy (yet very fun).  I have the uniform thing, then I'm in this anime thing at the library from 4-5:30, that's ever other Wednesday.  It's awesome. ^^  We're going to watch the 2nd half of Ghost in the Shell.  To be totally honest, I didn't like it all that much. Some parts were kinda cool, but...eh.  Some of the street fight scenes got really boring.  And it seemed a bit morbid.  But hey, that's just me.  I won't have anything better to do so I'm going to watch it anyway. ^^  Then I have dance from 7:15 to 8:15.  If I decide to go it'll be the last time until the regular classes start (like around when school starts), because we only bought 8 summer classes. You see, the summer ones are kinda stand-alone lessons, so you just come when you can. Yup, and that's everything in a nutshell.  Okay, I'm done now. ^^

Yay, I got my uniform! ^^  Usually it's boring, but it wasn't bad because it's /finally/ a different one, when I've been wearing the same uniform for 9 years...0.0;  Yup. I didn't end up going to the anime thingie, because I was getting my uniform... But that's okay, sicne I wasn't paticularly enthusiatic about going today anyway. If I didn't like the first half, why would I like the second...? 

  And I'm not sure if I'm going to use up my last dance class tonight, since I've been really tired all day.  I always have trouble sleeping...@__@;  Well, it was actually somewhat normal until about a week ago, so recently it's been taking me like 2 hours to go to sleep, which is REALLY annoying, and I keep on waking up...  However, the good thing about that is that now I remember all of my weird little dreams.  Ohh, here's one from yesterday:

   I was in this summer class thing, I think it was another acting thing.  Anyway, I met this little kid there and he thought I was really cool.  ((He seriously resembled the dark-haired kid I had to babysit in another dream, when we were in the Circus Juventas tent and we had to fight Lord Voldemort, except he looked like a giant slug, and...yeah, that's another story. 0.0; ))  The day afterward he's like, "Wanna come over to my house to play???"  I said, "Uh...sure!" ^^  Except he actually ended up coming to /my/ house...But it wasn't /really/ my house, it was only mine in the dream.  It was huge, and there was a hole in the wall in the kichen where, if you climbed on top of the refrigerator, you could climb into my room.  I had a bunk bed, too. Anyway, we were going to play hide-and-seek.  He hid, I couldn't find him, so I started hiding, in the top bunk of my bed.  He finally found me, and you could tell he was annoyed. He said, "I've been looking for you for 30 minutes!" Then we walked to the porch, except now it was my REAL porch from real life. (it's inside)  It started storming and he said, "I better go home now." So he walked home and I watched out the window.  I woke up, the end.  Okay, yup, that wasn't as random as my other dreams, but what the heck, I feel like posting it. ^^;;

   By the way, I'm back. Oh swirls! :3

   I got my fish yesterday!  They had the same breed as Pyro, but they only had little baby ones.  I ended up getting 2, Ritz and Yumi.  At first I was worried that they wouldn't get along well with Pyro since he's so much bigger, but Pyro's a friendly fish.  They're SOOO cute!  And they're always swimming together, awww. :3

   Today Molly and I went to Highland Fest.  'Twas awesome. I won a little stuffed mouse, yay.  It was that guy, where you can ask him any question. It can be anything as long as you know the answer. (You have it down though so you can't cheat, eheh.) I asked him what my favorite animal was and he said mongoose, mwahahah.  Anyway, it's a cute little mousy. I had a slice of pepperoni pizza and lemonade....(yes, i'm sure you were all dying to know that, lol)  And we went on a ride (The Scrambler, I think it was called...) and...yup.  Lotsa walking.  Well, I'm home now.  So...here I am.  Yup, byez. ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 I can post more about Michigan later...It was fun. Too much time in the car, though. Even when we got there we were driving half the time...@_@  But I liked it. Well, maybe I won't post more, there's not much to say about it, eheh. ^^;

   Yup, school starts on the 30th for me, with orientation on the 29th. Kind of looking forward to it, but not entirely...I can just imagine the piles of homework accumulating...-__-;  Oh well, it'll be interesting, at least.  ^_^ In general, it should be good.  So I'm not worried.

   I should've probably done more stuff today since I only have so many days on non-school left, but I didn't. ^^;  I went to the bookstore for a little while, that was about it.  So it's wasn'y entirely uneventful.  Read volume 14 of Ruroken, yay!  Too many long fight scenes for me, though.  But it was good near the end. ^^  Nothing else really, except sleeping in and being online.  I need to reclean my room today, yet again....

   Tried to change my blog theme, but I didn't like the way it looked, so I didn't bother finishing. Looks quite mismatched, I'll have to fix it later.

  Listening to: Only One - Yellowcard...I love this song. :3

What's the first word that comes to mind when you think of me?
Go to google and search for that word.
Reply to this post with one of the pics on the first page.
(Don't tell me the word).
Post this in your blog.
And please do it, I'd like to see.

   I'm going to fishify my layout later, so then it'll be fishtastic, yay.

   Today has been uneventful, again.  Oh well.  I might go to the library later, I have some books to return. I never really firgured out that palm reading book, it's wicked hard...So many little details you have to take into account...My eyes aren't that observant, eheh. ^^;  Oh well, I tried.  I should probably finish my summer-book-reading-essay today, too.  Yup, that's all for now. Byez! ^^

  I'm going to go work on my summer reading essay (not due until Tuesday, thank goodness ^^; ) before I start ranting anymore, eheh.  I have most of it handwritten, I just have to type it.  I'm still not entirely sure what they meant by question 4, though.  It's kinda vague and could mean more than one thing, and I don't want to waste my time writing something I'll just have to get rid of later...I'll have to ask tomorrow.  On the paper they say that you can E-MAIL one of the teachers; what a coincidence that I don't see that until the day before orientation. ^^;  I'm not even going to bother, I'll just wait until tomorrow.  Unless you know (obviously you won't if you don't go to my school), you could reply to this. Please? *bigsmile*  Pfft, so much for not ranting.  Okay, done now.  Really.  Bye!

*Listening to Yellowcard - Only One.  Again.  Because it's the only song I have saved to my computer at the moment.  Oh well, fun song. ^^

**Listening to - Yellowcard -Only One (The only one on my computer, mwahahahah.)

(with an accent over the "I")  It's a cool name, because it sounds like my awesome regular one. ^^  But I'm regretting not picking Zara, which I really like, but I was afraid they'd try to make me roll the "R," which I have problems with, eheh. ^^; ...Except now I know you only roll it when there's 2 or if it's at the beginning of the word, at least that's what I think she said.  Eh, it doesn't matter, it's only for a class.  I'll pick it next year.  It's weird, because I have a friend (Molly) who has a friend with that exact same name...  I've never met her, but she's shown me a picture before.  It was either her or her sister, I don't remember. @_@;  Coolio.  So there's someone out there with my name, yay.

    Today was really fun.  And then play production....it went well at first, but Hamlet went really...er....not so great.  I'm so glad we cut this one part, it was a big pain.  Other than that it was good, and I have to practice yet again before tommorrow sometime tonight.  Not much else to say.  I'm meeting people, yay.  Some people I remember well, some I don't.  I feel like Dory when I don't, with the short term memory.  Always introducing myself, lol.  ^^;  Anyway, tommorrow shall be fun.  Well, if you consider the work to be fun.  I don't mind it, at least I never do at the beginning.  I'd type more, but I don't feel like it, mwahah. ^^ (~the end~)

   Although my camera croaked today. ><  (So did my purple flower clip, but that might be fixable...)  I've had that camera since forever, wah.  Well, since my golden birthday, anyway.  So almost 4 years ago.  Sure, it wasn't a fancy camera or anything, but I liked it all the same.  Shame it had to die in the middle of a roll of film, wasting 9 potential pictures.  It's really broken this time, last time I thought it died was the film was just jammed.

   Well, what I was trying to take a picture of was this cat that wandered in our yard.  I see her occasionally, although this time I hadn't seen her for a really long time.  I don't know her real name, but I've named her Paige.  She just looks like one.  She's white with green eyes.  I doubt she's stray though, because she's been around for at least 2-3 years and she's still....alive.  Really, a stray couldn't survive the winter.  But I never have any idea where she comes from, I'm kind of curious.  Never has a collar or anything, hmm.  Maybe I'll find out someday, you never know....

You Are Likely a First Born

At your darkest moments, you feel guilty. At work and school, you do best when you're researching. When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often. In friendship, you are considerate and compromising. Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking. You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead... But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself. You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place. You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

How Machiavellian Are You?

Your Birthdate: September 11

Your birth on the 11th day of the month makes you something of a dreamer and an idealist. You work well with people because you know how to use persuasion rather than force. There is a strong spiritual side to your nature, and you may have intuitive qualities inherent in your make up, too. You are very aware and sensitive, though often temperamental. Although you have a good mind and you are very analytical, you may not be comfortable in the business world. You are definitely creative and this influence tends to make you more of a dreamer than a doer.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Your Japanese Name Is...

Midori Kujo

What's your Japanese Name?

I like that name. ^^  Midori means "green" in Japanese.

You Are 15 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Coolio, I'll be 15 on Sunday, so yay. ^^

We watched the Prince of Egypt and made all this commentary and it was hilarious except I can't really explain it because you'd have to be there, lol.  I love the music from that, I got the soundtrack when I was 8 and I still listen to it. :3  And today's Erin's 16th birthday (she's in the cast), which is awesome, and then my 15th birthday is the day after, which is TOMORROW!~ :3  I'm so excited, yay.  I've never done a preformance on my birthday.  I know before I thought I would be relieved when all the shows were over, but I take that back.  I want it to last forever, it's SO much fun!!!!

JACKALS!!!!!!!!  ^__^

....Hmm, I could just leave it at that, but that would be kinda short, wouldn't it?  Auditions for Godspell were on Thursday.  I guess I did alright, doubt I got in though.  Unless you can get in without going to callbacks, but there's only 11 people in the cast so....no. Lol.  Oh well, it was really fun.  It's good practice, anyway.  I sung "All for the Best."  We had to sing the fast part, it was hard. ^^;  On the bright side, on the very last day I was very desparate to find that song, so my dad downloaded it for me, yay! ^^  Just 99 cents, like if you have an Idod.  (Nope, I don't.)  So I have my own "free" copy of it on a CD, all for me, to listen to whenever I want. ^^  It's a fun song.  I should've picked a different one for singing though ( we had 3 choices), but I didn't know the tune to any of them so I just kind of picked the blue sheet because I recoginized some of the lyrics. ^^;; (I've seen the movie before.)  I /might/ be able to do crew, but if you want to do anything you had to turn a paper in today before 8.  And of course, I woke up late....I ran into the theater, but I didn't see Mrs. Gregg, but I just kind of put in in this box of papers that was laying out because I was almost late for class....  Whether she got it or not, I have no idea.

   Homecoming is next week; it shall be fun.  I had dance on Thrusday (aka yesterday), which went....er....alright....*cough**cough*  I've been pretty tired lately, which is really annoying.  But today I was definitely awake, so that's a good sign. ^^  My gym class was so funny today (arobics/tae bo)(sp?), we followed the video again.  The people on the video are...um....interesting, lol.  I guess you'd have to be there. 

   YESIT'SFINALLYFRIDAY!!!!! ^__^  Sooo happy, I'm finally free from all the homework, ect. for a few days.  Or one day.  Or maybe just a few a few hours....?  (Pfft, I'm not doing it today, it's Friday!)  Mwahahahah, I'm going to do nothing right now.  Just because I can. :3  Yay.

  Last weekend we went up to our cabin.  It was really fun, since I haven't been up there in forever.  And the weather was all cool and inspirational and stuff... Oh, and my brother got Animal Crossing, it's soooo much fun. *_*  We made fish clothes, lol.  Except it looks better on the guy character because then, when you turn around, you can be all, "SWEEE there's a fish on its head! <3!"  But the girl's hat is like a cone, so the fish just kinda go in a circle.   But it's still awesome.  If you can guess the name I picked I'll...um...draw you on the computer, lol.  Just a warning, I'm no good at drawing with a mouse. ^_^;;

  So far, highschool's awesome. A lot better than before anyway, although I miss DI.  Sometimes the homework's a lot, but that's to be expected.  Yay for silver values, mwahah.  Those poor gold people. ^^;   Sure, silver values gets homework, but at least it's usually a reasonable amount.  I really need to be more active in crew, though. (For Godspell)  I picked all the stuff that isn't needed until the very end, eheh. Publicity and archives, basically.  There was some set building that anyone could join last weekend, but I was out of town. I still haven't replaced my broken camera yet.  I feel like all this time is passing, totally unrecorded.  Although it's only been 2 months, they've been quite eventful and I've had several moments where I've thought, "OHH, I wish I had my camera~!!"  Well, I still have like a gazillion pages in my *real* journal (i.e., paper, pen, book, etc.).  Hahah, so not /completely/ unrecorded. ^^;

And, there it was, placed right next to it. The tea was ashamed that any other tea as low as that would even come within its 5-feet radius. Feeling annoyed, it gave a threatening slosh in the other's direction.*

	*The tea sloshed more, within the teacup, to allow it to seemingly "walk" across the table.

Anyways... I saw Godspell on Sunday, and it was amazing!!  The last part seemed really real, and...yeah I'm not going to give it away....  Anyway, it was awesome.  So go see it. :P

Yay, it's Friday! ^^ *sings Friday song* it'sfridayit'sfridaylalalalala..... This weekend won't really seem like a weekend though because I have so much stuff to do, with finals on Monday and all...  Plus this big values presentation due, but I'm pretty far on that.  Eee, I love that angel kao I found, it's so shiny. *__*

     I really need to get more sleep though, I've been really out of it the last few days.  It mostly hits me during values (Of course, that class could make anyone tired. ^^; I usually don't mind the class, it's the homework that bites.), then carries on to Spanish.  Then I wake up at lunch, then math sort of lulls me back to sleep, but after gym I'm alive again.  Last day of the tri, wow. I don't want it to end. ;__;  My highschool experience is already almost 1/12 complete.  Err, well... Now that I think of it that way, it doesn't seem that big. ^^; Anyway, today was a pretty typical day, so there's not much else to say.

Via the link on the sidebar of msn.com. Pieces. My sun sign in virgo, if you were wondering, but I doubt you were.

 "Changes in your career are stirring up emotional insecurities deep down inside. Be careful of attaching too much of your self-identity to your occupation. Otherwise the fluctuating circumstances at work will translate into fluctuating emotional patterns that can result in major health problems - both mental and physical. Today's sextile between Pluto and the Moon is encouraging you to find your power from an internal strength that lies well below the surface. Do not search for answers outside yourself. Find them within."

  

   ...Eh.  Maybe I'm not confused.  Just kind of sad.

 Huh, today's kinda like yesterday, but at least I'm not confused. ^^;  Anyway, I'm kinda in a good mood right now, which is kinda odd because I thought I'd be feeling really blahed out for awhile...  Well, I was, I won't deny that, but I don't like to prolong that sort of thing. :P  The one thing I'm regretting though are the things I left unsaid... I hate it when I do that, and then I always wonder if things would be different then, if I had. But then if I just went up to them it would be awkward and out of context...  Um, anyway. Aside from all of that, today was awesome. I love my acting class, it's sooo much fun.  I think there's crew tonight for the play, but I'm not completely sure.  If there is I think I'll go for a bit, but probably not the whole time because of all that homework stuff.  Whoo-hoo, I got to miss math class because a speaker came and talked for awhile.  Yes, an actual author, how cool is that?  It was Stanley Gordon West, from Until They Bring the Streetcars Back.  I thought the book was really good, anyway. (We read it in class.)  Although for some reason he seriously reminded me of Mr. Rogers.  I dunno, maybe that was just me?  ^^; 

   That's all for now.  Sorry about my extreme vagueness at parts, but I'm really paranoid about posting stuff from my real life, even just saying some of that was stretching it a bit...

We got a Christmas tree yesterday! ^^ I've never had a real one before, so it's pretty cool.  Although we got one that was already cut, so I didn't feel as guilty about it. ^^; I mean, I know they're made to specifically become Christmas trees, but still.  It's kind of sad, they have to grow for like 10 years to get to the right size, just to be chopped down and sit in a room for a month or so.  But ours had already been chopped, so I don't feel bad.  I mean, it's like buying a turkey.  There's a difference between buying a frozen turkey in the store and going out to hunt one, where you have to look it in the eye before youy chop it's head off.  Haha, actually, that was my mom's analogy, but it makes a lot of sence. :P  Anyway, on the bright side, it smells pretty nice.  And you get sap all over your hands from putting all the ornaments up.  But, I swear, the tree we got was so perfect-looking, it's just like our fake one except slightly shorter and chubbier.  I'm not sure what I want to name it yet.  I keep on thinking of it as a "Clyde", except lately I've been naming everything Clyde..@_@;  Eh.  Any suggestions?

            Gram angrily glared at his math test.  Not that it made any difference.  No matter how threatening he tried to look, the big red ‘F’ stared right back at him. 

            “Oh Gram, you’re such a square!” laughed a girl named Pam.

            Before Gram could respond, his math teacher pulled out his magical wand of doom. 

            “Geometreo!” his teacher yelled while pointing the wand at Gram.  Suddenly, Gram disappeared.  Everyone thought he had disappeared, anyway.  He had actually been sent to a magical place called Paralleloland.

            When Gram opened his eyes, he realized he didn’t have any eyes. He only had four sides, and didn’t know what they were for.  This made him very confused.  Suddenly a giant geometrical shape flew towards him.  It stopped only a few inches away.

            “Oh, look, it’s another parallelogram!  Yay!” said the shape.  Gram couldn’t help but notice how green it was.

            “What?  Why am I a parallelogram?” asked Gram.

            “You’re in Paralleloland, silly!  Everyone here is a parallelogram!  Plus it was really easy to tell, because your opposite sides look extremely congruent!  They look really parallel, too.  So that proves that you’re a parallelogram,” stated the green shape.

            “That’s really cool!  So, what do parallelograms do all day?” Gram asked.

            “They go to parallelogram parties!  Follow me; you can come to one too.  By the way, my name’s PQRS,” said PQRS. 

            So Gram followed PQRS along a long and winding road.  Along the way, he saw a bunch of new shapes dancing around a fire.

            “That’s a rectangle dance,” explained PQRS. “Only rectangles can go to those.  They dance around and sing the Rectangle Song.”

            In the distance, Gram could here them singing.  He closed his eyes and listened.

 

“Rectangle, rectangle, rectangle,

If p-gram with one right angle, then rectangle

If your diagonals are congruent

And you’re a parallelogram

Then you can be a rectangle too, yay”

 

            “I have an idea!  You see, I always carry my totally tubular protractor with me!” squealed PQRS excitedly.  Using the protractor, he measured an angle.  It showed that it was exactly 90 degrees!

            “Yay, I’m a rectangle!  Now I can go to the party!” said Gram, as he ran over to dance with the other rectangles.  He danced all night and had tons of fun.

            The next day, when the sun rose in Paralleloland, Gram wondered if he would ever get back home.  Then he looked over and saw that PQRS was crying.

            “My protractor broke!  I’m so sad; my life had lost all of its meaning.  All I have left now is my old ruler,” PQRS said with a sob.

“It’s okay; I can help you find the meaning of your life.  Maybe you’ll find it at another parallelogram party,” reassured Gram. 

So they went in search of a new parallelogram party.  But along the way, they happened to run into a rhombus party.  This party looked just like the rectangle party.  They were singing a different song, though.

 

“Rhombus, Rhombus, Rhombus,

We’re so fun, we don’t use a syllabus

For our homework

In the city bus

Everyone wants to be a parallelogram

With diagonals bisecting their angles

And diagonals perpendicularly bisecting each other

Just like us, without a syllabus, in the city bus,

And…..”

 

Before the song could finish, PQRS burst out in tears.

“Now you’ll never be able to tell if you’re a rhombus!  All because my protractor broke, I’ll never be able to measure the angles!  I’m so sorry; your life is ruined because of me!” PQRS cried.  They both stood there awkwardly, not sure what to do.  Suddenly, Gram had an idea.

“Wait,” said Gram, “maybe we don’t need a protractor!  In my math class, I learned that parallelograms with congruent consecutive sides are rhombuses, too!”

“That’s so cool!  My old ruler really is useful!” PQRS said, smiling through his tears.  Then he measured the consecutive sides.  They were indeed congruent.  Gram and PQRS cried tears of joy.  Suddenly a new shape approached them.  This one was purple.

“Why are you so happy?” asked the purple shape.

“Well, yesterday I found out I was a rectangle.  And now I just learned that I’m a rhombus, too!” Gram explained with a smile.

The purple shape gasped.

“Do you have any idea what that means?!” she shouted.

“No, is it a bad thing?” asked PQRS.

“If you’re both a parallelogram and a rhombus, then that means you’re a SQUARE! Hahaha!” she laughed.

But before Gram could speak, everything went black.  When he finally woke up, he discovered that he was back in his math class, and he was human again.

“Wow, Gram fell asleep in class again.  He’s such a square!” said Pam.

Gram realized that PQRS and his adventures in Paralleloland had only been a dream.  But then he looked at his math book, and realized that all of his mathematical adventures were right there in front of him.  He smiled.

“Pam, you’re right.  I really am a square,” said Gram.  But this time, he was proud of it.

   I read volume 16 of Rurouni Kenshin yesterday, yay! ^^  Poor Kenshin, though, he really got hurt....like worse than usual....Aaaw, so sad.  TT__TT  But he's the main character, so he'll be fine. Lol.  I'm really behind on that series because I read half of 15 at the bookstore with a friend, then we had to go and I never finished, and who wants to buy one when you've already read half of it?  But I figured he must've won or at least survived whatever the heck he was doing, or there wouldn't be a 16, or 17, or 18, etc....  Yup, so it got skipped, oh well.  I used to try to read manga series's backwards, like start with the last one...  Not anymore though, I got sick of ruining all the endings. ^^;

   Oooh, and I found a downloadable version of the DDR song "Butterfly" today.  Yay, I love that song. *dances along*

All along the edges, substituting the :heart: with a real one. *doesn't know how to make the little :heart: character...*  I'm excited to see how that'll turn out. :3  Then later we all got a malt, yum.  That was really fun.

I was feeling really artsy yesterday, I cut a bunch of random stuff out of magazines for later use (as a collage).  I also tried to ink this older drawing I kinda liked...  It got better and worse at the same time; it's kind of hard to explain.  Just a little RPG character-design thingie.  I was all done, then of course, I spilled the ink all over the floor...^^;;; I could've sworn I twisted the lid on tight, but I guess I didn't...  Anyway, it's all better now, thanks to the advice from some cool blog people (see previous entry). ^^  I also went to the dentist yesterday, which hurt more than usual because I haven't been going there quite as much as I'm supposed to..^^;  But seriously, who asks their parents to go to the dentist unless they have a teeth problem...?  Yeah, we all kind fo forgot. 

  My Christmas went really well, I forgot to mention that. ^^;  I got the book of names I wanted.  It's really nifty.  It doesn't do a lot in the way of listing names, but it says stuff about your (potential) personality, destiny, etc., regarding your name.  It also has the power of your name and other aspects like that, too.  And how different letters effect people, or their impression on them, ect.  I'm kind of a language freak so it's really, really, interesting!!! ^__^  I also got a Furby....Another one. 0.0;  I used to be obsessed with those things!  Maybe someday instead of being the crazy cat lady I'll be the crazy Furby lady or something. Oh yay.  All of my (girl) cousins on my dad's side got one from my grandma.  They didn't all work, though.  It's kind of funny, in order to make it do anything you have to say, "Hey Furby!" and wait until it responds, then tell it to do something.  Lots of voice-stuff, more so than the old ones.  But they didn't work, and it was weird because we're all shouting "HEY FURBY!" at the same time and they still don't listen... (Yes, we switched them to "on", so it wasn't still on "try me"...)  Eh, I suppose that's one of the things where you'd have to be there.  But the nice thing is that there's an off switch on these, haha.  I'm sure anyone who's ever had one has had trouble with making it be quiet.  Like when my cousin accidentally left her Furby in her parent's room.  It wouldn't shut up, and it was late at night, so my uncle threw it out the window.  One of those second-story windows too, since they live in the suburbs. 

  ...That Sailor Moon kao has absolutely nothing to do with this entry, but that's okay. :)

  Although today was fun, it wasn't very unusual, so there's not a ton to say...  Oh, I had a weird dream last night.  ((Actually I remember having several, but I forgot them...))  We had 8th grade graduation again, but insted it was in the CDH auxillary gym.  It wasn't a real ceremony we were just stating around and talking. It was all weird and dramatic, like "the parting of the clans..." and all these creepy random phrases (("PROSPER!", lol. except that was from real life...)).  But at least it's easier to sleep now, anyway. I remember on the first night-before-school-starts again (for Christmas break), I was up until around 2 in the morning.  I was all ready at 10:30, but then I had this crazy writing impulse and was writing stuff until about 11:45, then...yeah....  Hmm, not that anyone really cares about that, but I have nothing else to say today. :P

I’m from the Oregon Trail

Played in a backyard

Life in a hula-hoop wagon

Is really, really hard

Every “night” we sung the National Anthem

Before we’d lay to rest

Even during a thunderstorm

That part was the best

 

From my grandmother's

Who share an identical name

The one I used in Confirmation

Is really quite the same

Both Joans’ houses are the meeting place

For Christmas, birthdays,

And sometimes marbled cake

 

I’ve come from my photo album

With images oh-so-real

Like my uncle

Holding a stuffed seal

And places in Washington D.C.

My twin-cousin and me

Then two pairs of socks

My dad on some dock

And a singing fish eating the dog’s treat

The turkey sandwich filled up with meat

 

I’m from our dear kitchen

In the winter, the scent of clementines

Wafted from the refrigerator

Along with microwaved hot chocolate

Oh, how that cup burned my teeth!

 

I’m from a book of fish

In which I discovered my favorite kind

Yes, even before Nemo

Reigned Supreme-o

The clown fish!

While they won’t make a tasty dish

These are the best fish

That you will ever find

 

And from the front yard

Where I’d come to watch

On the old concrete steps

The evening pass into night

Shining with the sun’s final light

For today is becoming yesterday

And the fades of time

Are so hard to describe

If I tried to paint it

You’d think the colors were a lie

To show the day and night’s final tie

As I watch it fade away

Clyde II, named after my loveable keychain. 

It's ironic, when I went to the Mother-Daughter Dinner I also named the jack-o-lantern I interited Clyde.  He grew up just like him/her/whatever gender that pumpkin was, how cyute. :3

 

Edit: Took a quiz.  It seems pretty acurate, actually.

It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional. You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others. While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well. At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything. You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.

]]> http://www.mindsay.com/comments/ultraviolet/school.mws http://ultraviolet.mindsay.com/melinda_rose_johnson.mws ultraviolet 2006-01-19T09:01:14-05:00 http://ultraviolet.mindsay.com/melinda_rose_johnson.mws  The light from the sunset shone into the living room.  I looked to the corner.  Katie and Sophie were playing with their little toy mouse, as usual.  They look so cute when they’re playing together like that.  I couldn’t help but smile.  As I walked over to say hello, I wondered where the third cat was.  Smokey had been hiding a lot lately.  It seemed like he only would come out to eat nowadays.   But before I could do anything about it, I heard the phone ring.  It took me a second to recognize the sound; the phone didn’t ring very often.
     “Grandma? Is that you?” the voice asked.  I knew who it was right away.
     “Yes, this is your grandma!  How are you, Lori? I haven’t seen you since last month!” I exclaimed, maybe sounding a little too enthusiastic.  But she didn’t seem to mind.
     “Oh, I’m doing great, school’s going well,” Lori said.  “Anyway, I called you to see if you could come to my swim meet on Saturday.  It’d be nice to have somebody to cheer me on!”
     “I would love to go, of course I’m not busy,” I said.  The rest of the conversation was cheerful, although short.  As I hung up the phone, I glanced out the window.  The sun had disappeared.  Already?  Time seems to go so fast when you get older…  I walked into my room.  For the first time, I noticed my bed looked quite out of place.  The rest of the room consisted of natural hues, like browns and muted greens.  But the quilt made for my bed was an odd array of colors, which made it look much brighter.  Not in a bad way, though. Someday I should try to achieve the same effect with my watercolors; that would be quite interesting indeed.

   I was just about to call it a night when I found Smokey, all bundled up in the corner.  He must be lonely, I thought.  The other cats didn’t pay much attention to him. 

            “You need a friend, Smokey,” I said.  He just purred and curled up in a ball to fall asleep.  I chuckled and fell asleep too.

            The next morning I woke up earlier than usual. I knew if I didn’t get out of the house right away I’d just be stuck home all day.  It’s an odd thing about me- once I settle in, I don’t want to go anywhere.  So persuaded myself to get into the car and drive to the library to do some reading.

             When I finally climbed up the library stairs, I was out of breath. 

            “I’m way too old for this,” I huffed as I opened the door.  Yet it would not open, no matter how hard I pulled.  I glanced at the sign on the door.

Library Hours

Mon-Thurs- 1-8 P.M.

Fri-Sat- noon-6

Sunday- Closed

           

            Today was Friday; the library wouldn’t open until noon.  I still had an hour to wait!  So I went all the way back down the stairs and into my car.  I started driving around randomly.  What would I do for a whole hour?  As I drove, I saw a row of little shops I had never seen before.  One in particular caught my eye.  A pet shop!  I impulsively parked my car and went inside.  I walked straight over to the cats.  All the little kittens were so adorable!  One of them, however, seemed a little older than the others.  I asked the shopkeeper about him/her.

            “Oh, that cat’s been here for awhile.  We’ll have to get rid of him if nobody buys ‘im soon,” he said casually.  I supposed he was used to that sort of thing.

            I watched the cat walk around in its cage for a bit.  It was as white as a ghost!  I immediately fell in love with him.  So I decided to do something wild and crazy for once. With the new cat in my arms, I somehow managed to drive myself home.

            “Jeez Melinda, don’t you have enough cats in there?” my neighbor inquired.  Usually those comments bothered me, but today I just smiled.

            “No sir, I’ll never have enough cats!”

            “Ugh, crazy cat woman,” I heard him mutter as I went into the front door, but I didn’t care.  I was much too happy to care!

            “Hey Smokey, I think you’re gonna have a new friend now!” I called as I walked into the door.

            Smokey, who was camping out under the table, stood up and walked over.  He saw the other cat in my arms and watched with interest.

            “His name’s Casper,” I announced, and placed him on the ground.  By the way they looked at each other, I could tell they were going to be good friends.  Since I hadn’t gone to the library, I spent the rest of the afternoon rereading an old book of mine and watching the two new cats get to know each other.

            The next morning I woke up on the couch.  I was so caught up in what I was reading, I guess I just dozed off with the book wide open on my lap.  I looked at my watch.  It was noon already?!  I hadn’t slept in that late since I was a teenager!  Lori’s swim meet would be starting soon, too.  So I dashed over to my closet and put on my nice red sweater from Christmas and a pair of black pants.  After a quick bowl of Cheerios I drove to the pool as fast as I could.

            I didn’t even get to see Lori until afterwards.  It was awkward; I don’t think Lori’s parents usually attend her swim meets.  All the girls were wearing swim caps and goggles, too!  I didn’t know which one was her. So I had to sit by myself, once I found a space on the bleachers.  It was really warm in there, actually.  I immediately regretted wearing my fuzzy Christmas sweater.

            When the meet was over I walked to my car, feeling defeated. I was too tired to find Lori in the crowd.  But I got lucky- she found me instead.

            “Grandma!  We won, our team one!” Lori cried.  She gave me an excited hug.  Seeing her happy like that- it made sitting in that steaming room for 3 hours worth all the trouble.

            “Oh Lori, I’m so proud of you,” I said.  And I really meant it, too.  I laughed and my eyes started to tear up a bit.

            After visiting for awhile, we went to a nearby Applebee’s to celebrate.  The food was absolutely wonderful!  And before I knew it the sun was setting again.  The day had passed by quickly, just like it always does.

The auditions are funny, mwahah.  Although I do feel a bit guilty laughing at some of the bad ones, because they're getting their dreams crushed and all that...  Oh well, it's not like I could do any better, lol. :P

  Not a ton to say.  The weekend before last I saw that Dick and Jane movie.  It was pretty funny at parts, especially with the lawn... Har-har-har.  Uhm, yeah.  I really wanted to see Narnia, but my parents picked the movie and I forgot it was in theaters so I didn't bring it up...whoops.

   Speaking of movies, there was a movie night at school last Thursday.  I couldn't go though, since it was the same time as my dance class...  Anyway, the movie was Camp. I thought the preview made it sound like a really good movie, since it was about drama camp and all that.  So I rented it last weekend.  It was AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL!!!  I don't think I liked a single character; they were all stereotyped so bad...  I'm usually not a critic of movies; I like most of the ones I see.  But seriously, it was that bad. -_-

  We're doing monolouges in acting class, mine's by Queen Margaret in Richard III. (They're all Shakespeare.)  She's all bitter because Richard's killing everyone.  It's fun. ^_^  Act IV, Scene IV.  "Bear with me, I am hungry for revenge...And now I cloy me with beholding it," etc, etc.

  I didn't get into the children's play, Pippi Longstocking. ;_;  Well, I'm hoping to get into Singing in the Rain, which has auditions in about 3 weeks I believe...  Maybe I'll have a better chance, since I do tap dancing outside of school? (There's a dance part of the auditions, since there's a lot of tap dancing in the show...)  *crosses fingers*  I really, really do hope so...

My first period class was RIGHT NEXT TO IT, which is probably the sole reason I'm not late for school most days. ^^;  And then some friends were my locker-buddies, but I won't be seeing them as much I suppose.  Hmm, well, maybe there will be fun people by the new one. You never know. :P

   In the meantime I'm sharing my locker with Marie (marshpelt).  Except the shelf I'm using is one of those plastic ones that'll probably be caved in by the time I get back, eheh...

   No school tommorrow, how awesome is that?  Yay for parent-teacher confrences...

   I'm really mad at my blog right now...GRRR....This computer is being evil, it won't let me change my userpic.! And when it does, it clips the wrong picture!  Ir resizes it wrong and shows a different picture, so it never gets clipped right.  What's up with that...? (Edit: It works now! Yay!  After fighting with it for awhile, anyway...)

   Dance tonight was tricky. 0_<  Or maybe I'm just slow, eheh.  Well, I wrote it all down, so I have all week to practice.  Our song is all rhythmatic and really fun...  Can't really explain; there aren't any lyrics.

(Yes, I counted them.  You know, shaped like an 8?)

   Wow.  It's late.  I'm tired. -__-  But I feel like writing anyway, so oh well.

   Went to my twin-cousin/other cousin/aunt-and-uncle's (who are also my godparents) house today.  They got a puppy!  He's a yorkie, named Buddy.  So cyute.  And small.  And fuzzy. :3

   Not much else, I woke up late.  I was up drawing the night before, it got really late. ^^;  I should post something on my DeviantArt, I still only have 2 (old) things on there...  I want a new username, my other one's kinda blah.  Probably just clownfishgirl, my usual name for everything (except mindsay).  But I like it. :) Other stuff: Practiced tap a bit. Went to library.  Read some manga. Changed some fish tank water.  Made a card for someone.  Went to cousin's house.  Went online.  The end.

  Sudden realization:  I've been on MindSay for a year, since January 7th.  So a year and 21 days.  Wow, it feels like it's been forever.

  And then I took a quizzie.  Stolen from foolmoonchild .  I'm somewhat surprized that I didn't get "insanity". Oh well, this works too? I think?

I still haven't been assigned a new locker.  First I had 311, near room 204, but it was taken. Today I got 429, by room 213.  This time it wasn't occupied, but rather it was a sorry mess and wouldn't even open.  Hopefully tommorrow's locker assignment shall work...eheh...

 

We're reading Romeo and Juliet in English/Values.  I thought I understood most of it, since I was in a semi-short spoof of the play (as Romeo).  But gosh, I really didn't. ^^;  I had no idea the first scene was so...perverted.  Well, we didn't have that part in our show (since we shortened everything), but still. Eww.  Other than that, I'm really excited to be reading Shakespeare, since I'm a theatre nut and all, mwahah...  We have to read scenes I-II today, which would be a lot easier if I understood Shakespearian language...  So you have to read all the little footnotes and it takes forever. Oh well, it's interesting anyway.

 

I'm in props crew, since I didn't get into the Pippi play... I'm going to try go go more this time. Last time I only went twice, so I felt really bad when they but my name in the program... ^^;  Although I went to a general stage crew one too, so that's 3, which is a little better.

 

Umm.  I like mozzarella cheese. 

 

And that is all. :P

Yay.

   Still don't have a locker. ^^;  I forgot to talk to the attendance lady yesterday though, which won't exactly speed up the process...  Although Marie and I were walking on the old floor upstairs, which is basically where all the empty ones are.  We found a few non-locked, empty ones, and I wrote down one of the numbers.  Now I really want that one, we'll just have to wait and see if it's taken...:P

   Huh, not a lot to say.  I should really finish reading Wicked because I'm doing my journalism beat project on it.  I'm only about halfway through though, eheh.  So far it's been going okay, but I'll need to have finished it for the editorial article. (I'd been hoping to do a book review...  Can't exactly do a book review without reading the book.)  It's a good book so far, definitely not for children though...0_0;

   The clouds were thick in the sky, and they stopped the sun’s light from shining into the water.  Instead of being blue, the water reflected the sky’s grayish-black hue, and created darkness in the world below.  Two fish swam opposite each other amid their bleak surroundings. 

            “Oh look, stupid little Axel is swimming around my reef again,” taunted a rusty-gold colored fish named Goldie.

            “It’s my reef too,” retorted the bright yellow fish.  But even though his scales were brighter, his eyes were just as old and worn as Goldie’s.

            “Well it shouldn’t be! And you’re…err…uh,” Goldie said, trying to think of an insult. “Yeah, you’re an ugly little codfish monster,” he sneered.

            “Hah! Coming from you, I’d take that as a cod-pliment,” said Axel. 

            “How dare you?!” yelled Goldie as he charged at Axel.  Goldie missed and hit a rock instead.  Suddenly another fish swam over to him.

            “Oh no! Goldie!  Are you okay, sweetheart?” asked the other rusty-gold fish.

            “Grr, I’m going to get him,” growled Goldie.  He tried to charge at him again, but the other fish stopped him.

            “Goldie, I don’t care if he’s one of those awful yellow fishes!  If you keep on fighting, the evil shark police will come and eat you,” she warned.

            So they both decided they would stop fighting for the moment and went back home.

A few feet away, in a forest of kelp, swam two other fish.  Their names were Fred and Pyro.  Pyro was one of the yellow fish, and Fred was a random shade of green.

            “Oh Fred, I’m so depressed.  It’s like a giant piranha took a bite out of my heart,” sobbed Pyro.

            “Stop being so sad!  There are other fish in the sea,” said Fred.  But Pyro wouldn’t listen.

            “No!  No fish in the sea is as beautiful as she!” Pyro said.

            Fred sighed.  Pyro was being very difficult to work with. Suddenly, Fred had an idea.

            “Hey, let’s go to the fish party!  Everybody goes to the fish party!” he said.

            Pyro cried another tear of despair as he thought about it.  Maybe the fish he loved would be there?  Then he could sit in his shadowy corner of angst while basking in her heavenly glow.  He’d see her swimming with all the other fish and could probably have a good cry over it.  It sounded quite fun, actually.

            “Fine, I’ll go.  But I’m only going in order to see my beautiful angelfish,” he said with a sigh, and then they both headed over to the party.

 

            About a mile away stood a large, rainbow sea castle.  Inside the room of the largest tower, a voice could be heard.

            “Hello, Mr. Goldie sir! I have a favor to ask of you,” said a brightly-colored carp.

            Goldie looked over at him.  It was Cloud, the richest fish in town. 

            “Why, hello my dear Cloud!  I would be more than happy to hear your request,” Goldie replied, perhaps a little too earnestly.

            “You see, I would like to marry your daughter, Gemma.  She’s quite a nice catch, you know,” said Cloud with a smile.

            Goldie paused.  Gemma was his only daughter!  He couldn’t just give her away to some random carp, even if he was a rich fish.

            “Sorry, I can’t just give her away.  But if she falls in love with you, I won’t object to the marriage proposal.  Hmm…well, maybe you’ll just happen to run into her at the fish party tonight.  You should come!” said Goldie with a wink and a nudge.  Cloud smiled again.

            “I’d be happy to attend,” Cloud said and swam away to get ready.

 

            Meanwhile, the sun was beginning to set.  But it had been so dark all day, no one had really noticed. However, a rare beam of sunlight shone onto another tower of the rainbow sea castle.  Inside this tower 3 other fish were talking.

            “Why did you want to talk to me, mom?” asked Gemma as she swam over to her.

            “Well, sweetheart, you see, um, uh, well,” her mother began.  She didn’t know what to say to her own daughter; they didn’t usually talk much.  The other fish, named Misha, spoke instead.

            “She wants to know how you feel about getting married,” said Misha as she dusted Gemma’s seashell collection.

            “Oh, I’m sure it’s great, but not for me. Boys have cooties, yech!” Gemma said, wishing to end the conversation.

            “Well, fine then.  But do you remember Cloud?  You should look for him at the dance! He’s such a nice fish,” suggested her mother.

            “Yes, he’s also quite a fine dish, if you know what I mean,” said Misha with a laugh.  Gemma looked at the floor.  What strange a bunch of weirdoes.

            “I guess I’ll look at him, but only because I love you,” Gemma said dutifully and quickly left the room.

 

            Finally, the fish party began.  Fishes from all over the country came to sing and dance in the rainbow sea castle.  Everyone was having a tuna (ton of) fun, except for one fish.

            “Come on, Pyro!  You’re not going to have any fun unless you join the party,” said Fred.  He was getting frustrated now.  But Pyro would not move.  Then, almost magically, a school of fish left the partying area to get a drink of water.  Gemma was the only one left.  Pyro looked up, and then he saw her.  Her beauty filled his mind with random poetry that he couldn’t keep inside.  He yelled it to her as loud as he could.

O! You are prettier than all the starfish in the sky

I love you!  But I don’t know why

But when I see you, I can fly

In the sky

With cherry pie

In my old school tie

And…um…more pie

Oh my!

            “You’re kind of creepy,” said Gemma.  But Pyro wouldn’t give up.

“Oh, don’t be so koi!  I even brought you something,” said Pyro. He magically pulled out a daisy and handed it to her.  It was very expensive, since it came from the surface world. 

            “Don’t buy me flounders.  I don’t want it,” Gemma said. She gave the daisy back to him, then swam away and smiled to herself. Pyro didn’t follow her.  As time passed, she eventually wandered over to talk to Misha.

            “Um, did you know that fish’s name?  The one that was hiding in the corner most of the time?” Gemma asked, pretending not to care.

            “Oh, didn’t you notice that shade of yellow?  He’s the only son of the evil yellow-fish family! He’s Axel’s only son,” Misha said without much thought.  Then she swam upstairs to go to bed.  Gemma gasped.

            “NO! My life is ruined!” she screamed.  And in the end, her prediction would be correct.  But everyone had left the room anyway, so nobody heard her.

(Notes:  Obviously, this isn't the real story... But we had to retell it in our own way, hence the fish, and the really crappie fish puns.  Yes, stuff was left out, like the scene with Sampson and Benvolio (I think?) at the beginning, I just went right to the Montague-Capulet fight.  And the character of Abram entirely...^^; And the little exchange between Tybalt and Capulet, and possibly other stuff... But it only needed to be 2 paragraphs anyway so I'm sure I'll be fine. ^^)

Yay!!! ^__^ The only time I ever really sang in front of people using my normal singing voice was for this play audition in 7th grade, which was a disaster. ^^;  (Luckily I got to redeem myself later, eheh...)  I had a solo last year, but that was an angry head-chopping song.  People generally don't sing angry head-chopping songs in high pitched voices, so it all worked out. I can't wait until Tuesday, I believe that's when the cast list comes out.  Oooh, I hope I got in.... *__*

Anyway.  I wrote my act II summary for that Romeo and Juliet thingie (see previous post), but I won't post it here because I did it late last night just to get it over with, eheh.  A bit dull.  Anyway...um.  Not much else today, other than this week was really long and full of homework.  Yay for Friday!

So adorable.   If he were real, I'd eat him in like a second.  But anyway...

  I cannot find my science lab. :( Grr.  So I'll have to do it late.  Well, I spent the that 30 minutes tearing arpart my portfolio in the crazy search, but to no avail.  I'll probably be mad at myself tommorrow when it pops up in some really randomly obvious place. Oh well, I can always do extra credit over the weekend.  Because I don't want to do it now, mwahahah.

   The cast list for the play comes out either today or tommrow!!! Oh yes!!! *is excited*

   But seriously, Gloppy is an adorable name too.  Try saying it aloud.  ANOUNCIATE (especially the beginning syllable)...  It's fun, isn't it? "GGGGLLLLOOOOPPPPYYY....."  Erm, yeah.  That's all for now.

   And since this entry is so short, here's a "poem" just for you. 

Gloppy had a lot of fun

Until, one day, in the sun

 He played ping-pong

For far too long

Ever since that day

He's always been melting

Really, he was sweltering

And then the kids came to his house

(A jolly house, without a mouse)

"Gloppy, can you come out to play?"

They would say

He sighed, "Maybe another day,"

So Gloppy continued his lonley life

His lonley life, so full of strife

For about three weeks

Until Tree Week

On thay day, all the trees came out to play

One tree named Bob

Asked, "Hey Gloppy, wanna make a shishkabob?"

Gloppy said no

In his sorrow, full of woe

Then Bob said,

"Hey Gloppy, you can hide under my branches!

"Don't you believe in second chances?"

So Gloppy came out

And he didn't even pout

As they made their happy barbeque

Even though the sun didn't shoo

But accidentally, the tree walked away

He thought Gloppy would be okay

He forgot about his chocolately state

It seemed that melting was his fate

Yes, Gloppy did melt

For he didn't wear a belt

But he never went away

Into the sewage fray

And that made him happy

Even if the newfound goo was sappy

And Gloppy danced with the trees

And was attacked by bees

And creepy little children

That ate him all up

:)

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day! ^^  I got pretzels from my parents, mwahahah.  They were covered in white chocolate, YUM.  You see, all chocolate and/or yogurt covered pretzels hold a special place in my heart. (Needless to say, they're all gone now.) I didn't get any flowers for anyone this year, but I probably will next year.  I should've sent an anonomous one to myself, then I could walk around and be all like, "Hey, I got a rose from anonomous....mwahahah....who could it be?" I did get a rose though, from my friend Laura/Fable! Yay, thank youuu!! (even though she'll probably never read this, but oh well) 

   Gosh, our final project in acting class is quite....dark? ^^; With a title like "Crimes of the Heart", you just know it has to be dramatic.  I'm playing Meg, which is interesting because she's the exact opposite of me.  We have the scene, they're just in the kitchen (I believe the entire play takes place in their kitchen) talking... Granddaddy got a stroke and probably won't live, and Billy-something got stuck by lightning and died. (Billy is a horse.)  It's so sad. ;_;  And then there's that whole thing with me and Doc... Lol, my character is so self-centered. "I mean, can I sacrifice their happiness for mine? Yes! Oh yes! Yes, I can!" I love that line. ^^;

   Wow, I'm wasting time, I have too much homework to write an entry of this extent...AHHH....

   The cast list didn't come out today.  I was so excited, too! Well, I guess we'll just have to wait until tommorrow...0__0 *very disappointed*

It's kinda weird though, the 2 other girls in my tap class who go to CDH auditioned (there was a dance audition portion, since there's a lot of tap dancing in the play), but none of us got in. Hmm.

   This weekend has been pretty fishtastic so far. I've been at home most of the time, but it's still nice to get a break from school. Yay for President's Day! ^__^  I finished these pants I started last year, in a sewing class we did for Girl Scouts.  The class was cut short, so I don't think anyone finished...  Anyway, they're dark blue denim with this flowery pattern.  They're really big on me though; they're like my pijama pants... But still, finished projects are always fun. ^^

   I'm still reading the Wicked book....(By Gregory Maguire) for that book review.  I mean, it's a good book, but sometimes I just want to slam it down and scream, "EEW...why am I reading this??"  Really, after listening to the soundtrack, it seems like such an innocent book...^^;  Well, nevermind me, it's still good dispite all that, eheh.

  We went to the grocery store today.  And then my grandma's house.  And then I was reading, but my parents went back to my grandma's house to see how our dog (Shiloh) would get along with my aunt/uncle/twin-cousin/other cousin's dog (Buddy), since my grandparents are watching Buddy for the weekend.  Buddy was following Shiloh around an awful lot though, I don't think he appreciated that very much. Poor Shiloh. :(  Later I went the the bookstore and looked at stuff for a long time but didn't buy anything.  It's kind of weird, they always seem to have every volume BESIDES the one I'm on, hahah.  Well, when you get all they way up to 19, I guess you can't exactly expect them to have everything all the time. ^^;

   Look, it's a fish.  I named him after that Subway guy.  And no, he is not pink.  He is faded red.

   Not a lot happened today.  I hope I can go see Pippi this weekend, but we never got tickets...So probably not.  I've already seen the play in its entirity while taking pictures for archives, but I'd feel bad if I didn't OFFICIALLY see it because a lot of my friends are in it... Hmm, not really sure what to do there.  Not much to say about last week.  It was really fun, but included way too much homework.  And now I saved all my homework for Sunday again, meaning I'll be stuck with it all day.  Oh joy. :(  Well, it's not tommorrow yet, so I can still have fun now, right? ^^;

            The clouds were thick in the sky, and they stopped the sun’s light from shining into the water.  Instead of being blue, the water reflected the sky’s grayish-black hue, and created darkness in the world below.  Two fish swam opposite each other amid their bleak surroundings. 

            “Oh look, stupid little Axel is swimming around my reef again,” taunted a rusty-gold colored fish named Goldie.

            “It’s my reef too,” retorted the bright yellow fish.  But even though his scales were brighter, his eyes were just as old and worn as Goldie’s.

            “Well it shouldn’t be! And you’re…err…uh,” Goldie said, trying to think of an insult. “Yeah, you’re an ugly little codfish monster,” he sneered.

            “Hah! Coming from you, I’d take that as a cod-pliment,” said Axel. 

            “How dare you?!” yelled Goldie as he charged at Axel.  Goldie missed and hit a rock instead.  Suddenly another fish swam over to him.

            “Oh no! Goldie!  Are you okay, sweetheart?” asked the other rusty-gold fish.

            “Grr, I’m going to get him,” growled Goldie.  He tried to charge at him again, but the other fish stopped him.

            “Goldie, I don’t care if he’s one of those awful yellow fishes!  If you keep on fighting, the evil shark police will come and eat you,” she warned.

            So they both decided they would stop fighting for the moment and went back home.

A few feet away, in a forest of kelp, swam two other fish.  Their names were Fred and Pyro.  Pyro was one of the yellow fish, and Fred was a random shade of green.

            “Oh Fred, I’m so depressed.  It’s like a giant piranha took a bite out of my heart,” sobbed Pyro.

            “Stop being so sad!  There are other fish in the sea,” said Fred.  But Pyro wouldn’t listen.

            “No!  No fish in the sea is as beautiful as she!” Pyro said.

            Fred sighed.  Pyro was being very difficult to work with. Suddenly, Fred had an idea.

            “Hey, let’s go to the fish party!  Everybody goes to the fish party!” he said.

            Pyro cried another tear of despair as he thought about it.  Maybe the fish he loved would be there?  Then he could sit in his shadowy corner of angst while basking in her heavenly glow.  He’d see her swimming with all the other fish and could probably have a good cry over it.  It sounded quite fun, actually.

            “Fine, I’ll go.  But I’m only going in order to see my beautiful angelfish,” he said with a sigh, and then they both headed over to the party.

            About a mile away stood a large, rainbow sea castle.  Inside the room of the largest tower, a voice could be heard.

            “Hello, Mr. Goldie, sir! I have a favor to ask of you,” said a brightly-colored carp.

            Goldie looked over at him.  It was Cloud, the richest fish in town. 

            “Why, hello my dear Cloud!  I would be more than happy to hear your request,” Goldie replied, perhaps a little too earnestly.

            “You see, I would like to marry your daughter, Gemma.  She’s quite a nice catch, you know,” said Cloud with a smile.

            Goldie paused.  Gemma was his only daughter!  He couldn’t just give her away to some random carp, even if he was a rich fish.

            “Sorry, I can’t just give her away.  But if she falls in love with you, I won’t object to the marriage proposal.  Hmm…well, maybe you’ll just happen to run into her at the fish party tonight.  You should come!” said Goldie with a wink and a nudge.  Cloud smiled again.

            “I’d be happy to attend,” Cloud said and swam away to get ready.

            Meanwhile, the sun was beginning to set.  But it had been so dark all day, no one had really noticed. However, a rare beam of sunlight shone onto another tower of the rainbow sea castle.  Inside this tower 3 other fish were talking.

            “Why did you want to talk to me, mom?” asked Gemma as she swam over to her.

            “Well, sweetheart, you see, um, uh, well,” her mother began.  She didn’t know what to say to her own daughter; they didn’t usually talk much.  The other fish, named Misha, spoke instead.

            “She wants to know how you feel about getting married,” said Misha as she dusted Gemma’s seashell collection.

            “Oh, I’m sure it’s great, but not for me. Boys have cooties, yech!” Gemma said, wishing to end the conversation.

            “Well, fine then.  But do you remember Cloud?  You should look for him at the dance! He’s such a nice fish,” suggested her mother.

            “Yes, he’s also quite a fine dish, if you know what I mean,” said Misha with a laugh.  Gemma looked at the floor.  What strange a bunch of weirdoes.

            “I guess I’ll look at him, but only because I love you,” Gemma said dutifully and quickly left the room.

            Finally, the fish party began.  Fishes from all over the country came to sing and dance in the rainbow sea castle.  Everyone was having a tuna (ton of) fun, except for one fish.

            “Come on, Pyro!  You’re not going to have any fun unless you join the party,” said Fred.  He was getting frustrated now.  But Pyro would not move.  Then, almost magically, a school of fish left the partying area to get a drink of water.  Gemma was the only one left.  Pyro looked up, and then he saw her.  Her beauty filled his mind with random poetry that he couldn’t keep inside.  He yelled it to her as loud as he could.

O! You are prettier than all the starfish in the sky

I love you!  But I don’t know why

But when I see you, I can fly

In the sky

With cherry pie

In my old school tie

And…um…more pie

Oh my!

            “You’re kind of creepy,” said Gemma.  But Pyro wouldn’t give up.

“Oh, don’t be so koi!  I even brought you something,” said Pyro. He magically pulled out a daisy and handed it to her.  It was very expensive, since it came from the surface world. 

            “Don’t buy me flounders.  I don’t want it,” Gemma said. She gave the daisy back to him, then swam away and smiled to herself. Pyro didn’t follow her.  As time passed, she eventually wandered over to talk to Misha.

            “Um, did you know that fish’s name?  The one that was hiding in the corner most of the time?” Gemma asked, pretending not to care.

            “Oh, didn’t you notice that shade of yellow?  He’s the only son of the evil yellow-fish family! He’s Axel’s only son,” Misha said without much thought.  Then she swam upstairs to go to bed.  Gemma gasped.

            “NO! My life is ruined!” she screamed.  And in the end, her prediction would be correct.  But everyone had left the room anyway, so nobody heard her.

After the fish party, Pyro really wanted to see Gemma.  No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t get her off his mind.  So he sat down and talked to himself for awhile.

“Oh Gemma, how I miss her so!  I wish I could see her, just one more time. Although I should really think about other things.  Like octagons.  I need to draw some more octagons for my special geometry class.  They say my grade is so low because I haven’t been drawing enough octagons.  But I don’t have anything against them really, they’re actually look quite beautiful…like…like Gemma’s eyes, they’re like little octagons!  Oh, whoops, um… What wonderful kelp plants surrounding me.  They’re so green!  It’s that wonderful color that comes after yellow. Yellow, just like me.  Yellow kind of looks like gold though… Like Gemma… Wait, uh, the sky... The sky is full of stars, isn’t it?  I can’t really tell from under the surface, but my father told me so.  They shine like little sparkles… I bet they shine, just like…just like…just like Gemma’s golden scales” Pyro said with a sigh.  He gave up trying to forget about her; she had him hooked.

  So after sitting for awhile, Pyro compulsively turned around and hurried back to the rainbow castle where her family lived.  He had never noticed how many windows the rainbow castle had!  He swam and swam around, but he had no way of telling which door was Gemma’s. So Pyro took a shiny blue pebble from the ground and tossed it into a random window.  There was an awkward silence; nobody stirred.  Not wanting to be near the scene of the crime, he swam to the other side of the castle to hide. 

That was when he saw Gemma, already peering out of a window.  She seemed to be talking to herself.  Pyro decided to be sneaky and listened in. 

“Oh wow…  Pyro’s so awesome; he’s way better than that silly Cloud that Mom and Misha were ranting about.  I love him to pieces, I really do,” she said, and oozed into a really long and sappy speech.  Pyro, being the kind of guy he was, listened to the entire thing.

  Right when Gemma was about to go back inside, Pyro popped out from behind the wad of seaweed he was hiding under.  Gemma screamed in surprise.

“EEEK!  Why are you stalking me, you creep-o?” Gemma yelled, trying to cover up her embarrassment after that gooey speech.  Had Pyro really heard what she’d said?

“Are you alright, dearie?  You’re going to wake the entire castle!” Misha said and rushed into her room to see if she was okay.  Pyro darted back into the kelp, and hit his head on a rock.  It was quite painful, actually.  Misha eventually went back into her own room, and left Gemma alone.  Pyro swam back to where he was could be seen.

“Let’s get married tomorrow! Wouldn’t that be fishtastic?” he suggested. Gemma gasped.

“But, but our parents would never allow it!  They would be ashamed of us, for the rest of our lives… Yet, what’s it matter, anyway?  Yellow and gold are practically the same color… Heck, even if we were blue and orange, does it really matter?” Gemma pondered.

“So, should be get married or not?” asked Pyro asked.

“Yes, in secret, though.  Our families would never forgive us if they knew.  If you can find someone to marry us tomorrow, I will come,” she said decidedly.  Pyro began to swim away, but Gemma couldn’t help but noticed how ghost-like he looked in the dark.

“Geez, your face looks like it died and came back as a zombie!  What happened?” Gemma asked.

“I hit my head on a rock,” Pyro explained, trying to ignore her initial comment. Then Gemma swam back into her room, and Pyro went home.  But Gemma had no idea that, in a few days, she would be the one wishing Pyro had magical zombie powers.

            The next day, Pyro rushed to meet his old friend Marian.  Marian had been a judge in her past, but she had quit because she was too old.  However, she was still well versed in the fish laws and rites.  This was exactly the kind of person whom Pyro needed to find. 

“Will you marry me?” Pyro asked her.

“Will I what?!” Marian exclaimed, completely shocked.  Wasn’t she a little too old for him?

“No, no!  Marry Gemma and I, like as a priest?” he clarified.

“Ohhh,” she said, relieved. “How long have you known Gemma?”

“Umm…since yesterday,” Pyro admitted.

“What?! That’ll never work out! Are you insane or what?” she shrieked.

“Yes, I suppose I am insane.  So, will you marry us?” Pyro asked.

Marian reluctantly agreed, but only after listing off all the potential problems that could go along with marrying too quickly.  Marian often gave lectures like this, for she had had quite a few bad experiences involving marriage.

            Pyro rushed back to his home to brainstorm a way to tell Gemma the good news.  On the way, he bumped into his friend Fred, and then Misha.

“Hi Fred! Hi…um…whoever you are,” Pyro said in greeting.

“I have a name, you know.  It’s Misha. I’m a servant of Goldie’s castle, and also Miss Gemma’s nurse,” she stated.  Pyro grinned.

“Oh goodie!  Then you can tell Gemma the secret message,” Pyro said.  He whispered the details of their marriage to her.  Tomorrow at midnight, they were to be married in Marian’s secret cave.

Misha was too shocked to respond.  She just headed back to the rainbow castle to tell Gemma.  Once she reached Gemma, she had an emotional breakdown.

“Oh, my little girl’s all grown up now!” she said with a pathetic sob.

“What happened, Misha?  Did you see Pyro anywhere? Huh, huh? Are we getting married?” Gemma asked frantically. Misha sighed sadly.

“Oh gosh, I remember when you were just a little fish.  You were such a nice little fish, you really were,” she mumbled.

“Come on! Spit it out, what happened?” Gemma asked.

“Now, now, don’t rush me while I’m having a breakdown,” she cried.  “You’re so grown up now!  You’re even getting married tomorrow! You are!  Pyro got all the details figured out,” she said.  She told her everything, and cried the whole time. Gemma, however, didn’t really care.  She was too happy about her soon-to-be marriage to care.

            The wedding went exactly as planned.  Next midnight, Pyro and Gemma met at the secret place and were quietly married.           

                        Time passed slowly the next day, because so many things were happening all at once.  The water in their world was a bit warmer than usual, both above and below the water’s surface. Fred the fish was talking to another fish named Ritz.  Ritz was blue with black, shiny stripes.  He would’ve looked perfectly normal without the stripes, which made him look oddly threatening.

            “I don’t think we should be out in the water at this time of day, Ritz.  It’s fishing season, you know,” warned Fred.  Fred was afraid that they would run into a fish fight, not to mention a few fishing lines.  Fishing season always made everyone crabby.

            “Too bad! I’m really angry today; I wouldn’t mind having a fish fight to stir things up,” grumbled Ritz as he angrily threw a pebble. Fred just sighed.  Sometimes Fred thought his brain was made of crackers.

            Right on time, a golden-colored fish swam by them.  He accidentally bumped into Ritz.  This fish wasn’t exactly a goldfish, but you could tell he was related to the goldfish family.  His name was Sunny, because he was a sunfish.  However, he was a very angry fish and never had a sunny disposition on life.

            “You bumped into me! Rawr!” yelled Sunny angrily.

            Hearing all the commotion, Pyro came out from behind a large rock.  When Sunny saw Pyro, he got even angrier. 

“I challenge you to a duel on the fishing grounds!” Sunny yelled to Pyro.  You see, all of the fishermen who lived in the area had a “lucky fishing spot”.  It was a lucky spot because it was one of the only sources of food in this deserted piece of ocean.  Lots of fish had to rely on the “bait” for food. In a fish fight, they had to eat as many worms as possible without getting caught on the hook.  Pyro, of course, didn’t want to fight. 

“Come on now, we don’t want to fight!  We, um, love each other, right?” Pyro meekly asked.  Of course, Sunny ignored him.  Usually Pyro wouldn’t mind fighting, but there was no way he could fight someone who could be related to Gemma!  Their families had enough trouble.  By avoiding this fight, he hoped that he could minnow-mize any damage he had already caused to their family structure.  But the tides of the water were changing.  By not moving, they had accidentally had floated into the fishing grounds.  The fight was unavoidable now.

            Ritz was the first one to begin the worm-eating battle.  He bit a worm and took it right off the hook.  He made it look so easy!  Just to show off, he took another worm.  He had almost had it off the metal fishing hook, when Sunny suddenly swam up behind him.  This took Ritz by surprise, and he was tugged out of the water by an evil fisherman before he could escape his evil wrath.  Ritz had disappeared forever.

            “NOOOOOOOOO,” screamed Pyro.  This was the final straw!  He took deep breaths and waited for Sunny to take his turn.  When Sunny tried to eat the worm, Pyro shoved him so he couldn’t escape the fishing hook.  And then the line pulled, and Sunny was gone.  At first, Pyro was happy.  He won!  But then he turned to Fred with a realization.

            “Whoops, I just killed my own relative…err, in-law, anyway,” he said thoughtfully.

            “I guess so,” said Fred.  Pyro was afraid the shark police would eat him, so he quickly swam away.  Fred was slow and lagged behind.  One of sharks approached him.  He had a shiny nametag that read “Carl”.

            “What happened here? Was there a fish fight?  I bet there was; I can smell the lack of fish in the air,” said Carl. 

            “Oh, well, I wouldn’t want to argue with you, eheh,” said Fred.  “Basically, Sunny challenged Pyro to a battle.  But Ritz was kind of in this violent mood, you see.  He didn’t do anything wrong, though! But Sunny killed him anyway.  Struck by the terror of his dear friend’s death, Pyro sort of, um, kind of killed Sunny.  But it was practically out of self-defense! Pyro really didn’t want to fight.”

Carl turned the situation around in his head. Since Pyro was only one left alive, it seemed fitting to punish him.  So he decided to have him “ousted” from the area.

            “Oust (ouch), that’s too bad.  Poor Pyro,” said Fred.  Carl ignored his remark.

            “If I ever see him again, I’ll eat him,” he warned.  Misha, who had been secretly hiding in the background, heard everything.  She rushed over to the rainbow castle to tell Gemma that Pyro had been ousted.

            “Oh no, not Pyro! How could they oust Pyro?” Gemma cried upon hearing the news.

            “I’m sorry, Gemma, but that’s just the way the world works,” Misha said.

            “Well, I’m not mad at him. I can’t stay mad at him for more than a second!  I mean, I know I’m related to Sunny…  But he’s never exactly been a bucket of sunshine to be around.  Pyro is more important than my silly old relative anyway.  Why, I don’t even know how we’re related in the first place,” Gemma contemplated. “Although, I guess it just makes me sadder.  Now I’m losing both of them at once...”

            Misha wished she could help her feel better, but she knew there was nothing she could do.  Instead she just sighed and stared out the window as Gemma sobbed loudly.  She could be quite a screamer when she wanted to be.

            Meanwhile, Pyro had gone to Marian’s secret hut to hide. 

            “Why, hello Pyro!  I’m sorry it’s so messy, I’ve never had visitors in my secret lair…err, I mean cave,” Marian said.

            “It’s fine, I’m only here to hide anyway,” Pyro reasoned.  It was a creepy place, but it would work for now.

            At the same time, Cloud had continued his conversation with Goldie in the basement of the rainbow castle. Gemma could hear everything as she stood quietly behind a large golden pillar.

            “Cloud, I’ve changed my mind.  Seeing Gemma looking so upset over Sunny’s death just breaks my heart!  I know she’ll be much happier if she marries you,” Goldie said with a slightly evil grin.

            “Oh, that’s wonderful!” Cloud exclaimed, but there was no glint of evil in his eyes.

            “I have it all planned for this Friday.  I know it’s a little soon, but we’ll make things work out,” Goldie said.

            Gemma wanted to scream upon hearing this.  Marrying Cloud would make her life worse, not better.  Gemma couldn’t say anything, though.  Her vocal chords were all choked up after crying so loudly over Pyro’s ousting. Instead, she grabbed her old fish hook swam to Marian’s cave.  Unfortunately, Pyro had already left. 

            “Marian, what will I do? My father has arranged for me to marry Cloud!  He doesn’t know I’m already married to Pyro, though. I can’t marry two people at once!” she said.  Then she took out the fish hook. “If you don’t think of something I can do to save myself, then I’ll have to die.  I’ll swallow this fishing hook and die!” she threatened.

            Luckily, Marian knew exactly what to do.  However, she couldn’t tell Gemma right away because there was a knock on the door.  It was Cloud.

Cloud and Marian looked quite odd next to each other.  Marian was a faded grey and almost blended into their surroundings, while Cloud clearly stood out with his bright reds and blues.

            “Greetings, Marian,” began Cloud, “I need to speak to you about something.”

            “Go ahead, I’m listening,” she said absentmindedly, while organizing some documents.

            “Well, I’d like to have you marry me and Gemma this Friday.  It shouldn’t be too much trouble,” Cloud said.

            Marian gasped, despite having just heard this from Gemma.  Somehow it seemed more real when Cloud said it.  She looked completely horrified, like she’d just found out she’d be cooked in the fish fry picnic with lots of creepy little children.  In fact, if she married Gemma to two men, she probably would be. After a few seconds, she tried to regain her usual composure. 

            “Can’t you move the wedding to a later date? That’s in two days, you know!” Marian said.

            “I know it’s early,” Cloud said, “but Goldie planned everything thing out, not me.”

Gemma walked in on the middle of the conversation.  Cloud smiled.

            “Hello, Gemma! It’s nice to meet you,” he said kindly.

            “Go away.  I don’t have to talk to you.  We’re not married yet, you know,” Gemma hissed. Cloud looked hurt, and decided to give up for the moment and head home. 

            Once he was gone, Marian began to explain the secret plan to Gemma.

            “Tonight, go to the evil lair, err, I mean cave, in which I used to live.  Yes, we’re standing in it right now.  You’ll probably want to go home and grab some stuff beforehand. Anyway, you will stay here for 2 days; I’ll bring food and water.  …Wait, uh, never mind the water part.  When you don’t return home, I’ll be there to tell your family that you were captured by a fisherman.  It’s fish fry season, you know.  Happens all the time,” Marian explained.

            “What about Pyro?  He’ll set his very soul on fire if he thinks I’m dead!” cried Gemma.

            “Don’t worry.  I’ll send him a secret message about the plan.  He’ll know all about it!  And, once both your ‘wedding’ and ‘funeral’ dates have past, you can run away with Pyro and live happily ever after.  The end,” Marian said. 

Gemma agreed to the plan, but swam home before she did anything.  She had to say goodbye to her parents somehow!  She could also pretend to be happy with marrying Cloud.  She didn’t want to “die” with an argument between them.

“Oh Mumsie, oh Popsie, I’m so sorry!  I was such a pain before.  But now I’ll be super-duper happy to marry Cloud!” Gemma said with a large smile on her face.

Her father smiled.  So did her mother.

“We’re so proud of you!” she sniffled.

“Even though you’re getting married, you’ll always be our little fishicakes,” cooed her father.

“Aww, thanks you guys! I’m just going to go on a little walk before I help you plan the wedding. I need to just sort things out for myself, you know?”

“That’s a great idea, honey.  Take your time,” they both said in unison. 

  Once Gemma got through the front gates, she swam to Marian’s cave. At first, she was a little nervous.  Didn’t Marian accidentally say the cave used to be her evil lair?  For all she knew, it could be full of nets and traps for her to get caught in! But she decided that anything was worse than not seeing Pyro again.  She entered the cave.  It was quite a boring cave actually, so she took a long nap to pass the time.  Gemma brought her old fish hook though, just in case something went wrong. 

In the rainbow castle, everyone was happily planning the wedding.  It was getting late, though.  Goldie and his wife were beginning to wonder what was taking Gemma so long on her walk.  Marian suddenly burst inside.

“Oh, it was horrible!  I saw it all right before my very eyes! Gemma is gone!  She was just swimming around, when a fishing net caught her and took her away,” Marian cried.  Her fake tears were very convincing.

“Oh no, Gemma is gone!” her parents sobbed.  Everyone in the castle cried along with them.  All of their marriage decorations were ordered to be painted black.  Instead of a wedding, they were going to plan a funeral.

Pyro, however, was far away from the rainbow castle.  The news hadn’t quite reached him yet. He was currently residing in a town called Bath.  In Bath, he met up with his old friend named Greenie. 

“Fishizzle, yo!  I just saw the rainbow castle, man.  There was a huge funeral this morning.  They said Gemma was caught in a fishing net.  She’s probably at one of those fish fry picnics right now,” Greenie said without much thought.  He had no idea that they were married, nor that they had even met.

Pyro didn’t take the news very well.  He screamed and rushed over to the rainbow castle.  He didn’t want to live anymore.  However, he was in such a daze that he accidentally swam in the wrong direction.  When he finally realized where he was, he was standing in front of an old cave. It was a very dreary place.  However, Cloud was in the way.  What was he doing here?

            “Move it, I don’t feel like dealing with you right now!” Pyro sobbed.

            “What? I’m sad too; I can walk wherever I please,” Cloud replied.  He had only been swimming around, as he did every other evening.  He particularly needed it tonight, to sort out his thoughts after losing Gemma.  He wondered why Pyro was so offended.

            “NO YOU CAN’T!” Pyro yelled and slapped Cloud as hard as he could.  Cloud fell over and died.  Pyro walked into the cave and left him there.  He then walked into the cave.  He noticed two things right away.  One was the randomly useless door next to the mouth of the cave. But then he saw something that he did not plan on finding.  It was Gemma, lying on the old stone floor.  Pyro didn’t know why she was in the lair, but he was so filled with sadness that he didn’t care.  Gemma was dead!  He saw the fish hook lying next to her as well.  It was the one Gemma had brought, just in case.  Pyro swallowed the fish hook and died.

            Two minutes later, Gemma woke up from her nap.  She had quite a painful headache from sleeping so long.  Then she saw Pyro.  She also noticed the absence of the fish hook next to her.  What he had done immediately became clear to her.  She was very sad, and somewhat mad.  She was smad.

            “How could you swallow the whole fish hook?! What about me, huh?  Why didn’t you leave any sharp objects for me, you jerk?” Gemma cried.  She wished Pyro had zombie powers, so that he could come back to life.  There were too many things she left unsaid.  Even if he were a smelly old zombie, she’d love to see him again.  Suddenly, she saw Marian’s shadow from the outside of the cave.  Seeing another fish interrupted her train of thought.  She seemed very jittery.

            “Come out, Gemma!  Please, just come out, you can have a very happy life out here!  I bet I could get you into my old college for free, doesn’t that sound fun?!” Marian pleaded.  Her buddy, who was supposed to send the letter to Pyro, had not sent it.  Pyro never knew that Gemma was only sleeping.  Cloud’s dead body lying around didn’t exactly make her feel better, either. If anyone found out about the whole situation, everything would be her fault. 

           Gemma ignored her, though.  She was too sad to listen.  So instead, she ran into the randomly useless door and died.  Marian was afraid of going to jail, so she swam away.

            The next day, the news had spread about what had really happened. Goldie and Axel sadly swam into the cave where everything had taken place.  Carl the shark (also a policeman) was there too.  Everyone was sobbing. 

            “I don’t want to fight anymore.  It just isn’t worth it,” sighed Axel.  Goldie nodded in agreement.  They had both lost the one thing that meant the most to them, over an old family feud.  The whole fight seemed so stupid now.

            “What a crappie ending,” sighed Goldie.  And he was right.

   I saw Rent on Friday night... Yeah, it's a little out there at times.  But it was AWESOME!  I mean, the music is so catchy, I had it stuck in my head all night, and the next morning.  Someday I'll have to try and get the soundtrack....Really, it's that good. *__*

   I have this week off, since we have spring break early.  I was kind of a bum today, eheh.  Although I got up at 9:30 A.M., go me! ^^ Really, I was up until midnight-ish with all those final projects and studying last week.  I slept in until 1:45 P.M. on Friday! Holy crap!  That beats my old record of 12:30...  But I was actually sleeping the whole time, that's the weird part.  I wasn't just sitting in bed or anything...  Luckily I snapped out of that, or it could've gotten WAAAY worse. Being nocturnal isn't very fun when you want to actually DO stuff with your day off. 

  Today I finished my math take-home test, and sent it in the mailbox.  The realization of having homework freaked me out last night; I had completely forgotten. ^^;  But it didn't have to be postmarked until Monday, so it all worked out.  Then I was pretty much drawing for the rest of the day. I had almost forgotten how much fun it is, since I've been so busy.  I turned one of my lesser-used sketchpads into a sketch diary/journal.  Like a combination of drawing and writing... I always thought it'd be really cool to have one of those.  Of course, I'll still use my regular one.  I'm on journal #6 now, not counting the other ones where I randomly stopped using them when I was about halfway through (Such as the little ranbow one where all the pages fell out, the ugly one, and the other ugly one. (from last year's Girl Scout stuff...  Seriously, it was a hoodie on a neck with no head, lol.  And those goofy cat eyes that were staring at me. o_o)).  Erm, anyway.

  Speaking of Girl Scouts, this is the first year since 2nd grade (I'm in 9th now) that we're not selling cookies. No cookie mom, you see. Oh well, last year I was stupid and got like a million orders from school and they clogged up my locker (not to mention our living room) for weeks.  So that's the one thing I don't miss. ^^

  I was at a sleepover at my friend's house on Saturday!!! (Molly, if you'd know her...) I was awesome, we had pizza and KFC. *drool*

Which Magical Dark Creature Are You?

Witch
We all know that there are some good witches out there in the world - like Glinda in her poofy pink dress. But that's not you. You're a regular house dodger and you know it. Always seeming to be pissing other people off and being pissed off at other people you have a nack for not fitting in many places. You prefer being alone because of this and though very independant, you are very wrathful upon whomever may cross your broomstick. Youre as bitter as ground parsley. I think you need a hug. ----l:-/ your quote : Mwahahahah!

I had found it! Oh, how beautiful it was.  I held it up to catch the light from above.  The old store's light, anyway.  The manager was always using those ugly bright yellow party lights.  It was Mrs. Anderson's, the store owner's, way of trying to be "cool" and "psychedelic".  Psycho maybe, but definitely not psychedelic.

   "Are you gonna get somethin' or 'wut?  I don't wanna sit here all night, you know," Mrs. Anderson scowled at me from behind the cash register.  She must've given up on her "cool" act for now.

 I sighed and set it back down onto the counter.  I didn't have forty dollars to give!  My parents would never approve of me spending all that money on a marble sculpture, anyway.  At least, not one carved in the shape of a pi symbol!  I sighed and looked at the floor.

  "No ma'am, not this time," I said and walked away.  The metal door swung shut behind me with a loud crash as I headed back home.

 

Edit: I took a quzzie.  Stolen from marshpelt .

 

What Tarot Card are you?

you are .... The Fool! As Card 0, the Fool lies at the beginning of the major arcana, but also somewhat apart from the other cards. In medieval courts, the court jester was someone who was not expected to follow the same rules as others. He could observe and then poke fun. This makes the Fool unpredictable and full of surprises. He reminds us of the unlimited potential and spontaneity inherent in every moment. There is a sense with this card that anything goes - nothing is certain or regular. The Fool adds the new and unfamiliar to a situation. The Fool also represents the complete faith that life is good and worthy of trust. Some might call the Fool too innocent, but his innocence sustains him and brings him joy. In readings, the Fool can signal a new beginning or change of direction - one that will guide you onto a path of adventure, wonder and personal growth. He also reminds you to keep your faith and trust your natural responses. If you are facing a decision or moment of doubt, the Fool tells you to believe in yourself and follow your heart no matter how crazy or foolish your impulses may seem.
