Behind the times...

Like, EONS behind the times.

Is it really Christmas Eve?

Boo for holidays sneaking up on people.



AND IT'S STILL RAINING.



_{If I come back from Texas to a swamp, I will not be pleased, Ohio!}

"COME BACK TO TEXAS"

"THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH OHIO, EXCEPT THE SNOW AND THE RAIN-"


Haven't been to Texas.
UNTIL NOW.

We're going down Christmas night, to be with my mother's side of the family. Her 5 brothers & sisters, their spouses, their children, and NONNA ♥
That's like, 30 people.
Most of them are loud, a few are obnoxious, and all of the adults drink heartily of the "acqua di vita", aka WINE.

It's going to be interesting.


In other news.
Went to the Holt Heroetes Christmas party after Christmas concert (which I NARRATED, and everyone thought that it was someone else with a prettier voice because I have a cold and it didn't sound like me). I must say, WOW. If I was that type of girl, I'd totally steal Mark away from his girlfriend, because he has developed into a FINE young man.
But I'm over him, and I'm not that kind of girl, so I should probably nip that thought in the bud right now.
Vicky & Becca were at the party, which is col because I haven't seen Vicky in forever and the last time I saw Becca she was asleep the entire time.


Aaaaaand...

Amy should be coming by shortly to pick me up so we can go over to her house & I can wrap my family's presents in secret.


OH! I forgot.

We have a new kitty~♥
I wasn't thrilled when mother sprang it on me that she took in a stray, but then I saw him. He's ALL BLACK- nose, whiskers, tummy, toes, everything except his eyes, which are yellow/ green. They named him "Samhain", which is some Celtic or Gaelic or something word which is equivalent to Halloween.
I call him Sam Wheezy, because he has a cold and it sounds like a rapper name :D

Cringe

So there's this book called Cringe, and it's a bit interesting because it's just a bunch of journals and diaries from people that used to be teenagers (imagine that!)
It's called "cringe" because the author had this thing where she wanted to find the worst /slash/ most embarassing entry ever, the one that made them physically cringe.

It's hilarious, but it's also interesting because, HEY, I'm a teenager. Except some of these people we like, 11 when they wrote the entry, and they were WAY more into dating and popularity than I was when I was 11.

That's not really saying a lot, since I was a weirdo, but still...


In other news.

I'm proofing Tae Jun's college application essay thing, and it made me realize, "Crap. I'm awesome at editing stuff."
I just hate writing essays.

It's been in my mind quite a bit because I have to figure out pretty soon what the heck I'm going to be when I grow up, since I'll have to major in it and live with it for the rest of my life.

My mother is assured that I will be a doctor.
My father is still harboring a secret longing that I will become some sort of artist.

I HAVE NO IDEA.

I like teaching, giving people back massages, and doodling.

I'm good at giving back massages, editing, and memorizing things.

I HATE MATH, WHICH BASICALLY RULES OUT ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.

I miss Meagan :(
and MVA.


Speaking of MVA...

It's been bothering me that I don't really like it as much as I did. I mean, I still love it there, but the administration has gone CRAZY and I never get to talk to Dean Shiela and it's all just ridiculous.

I'm going to go work on my wedding project now, like I should've been doing the entire time...

When it's cold I'd like to Die...

I miss that song...

In other news.

My little brother is having his birthday party today.

I'm surrounded by pre-pubescebt HELL.

It was worse earlier.

They had NERF GUNS.
I think some of them drew blood.

Except! My favorite is always Isaac. He's so polite! A few years, and he'll be someone's dream guy.


Aaaaand...

I'm bored.

And tired.

WELL THEN.

I'll have a senior year, no meat, to go please. Yes, I'll have some crappy administration on the side. Wild Times? I'm not sure. Okay, but just a size small... Already? Wow, I guess that's why they call it "to go"!


:D


So, there was a sign on Mrs Daniels' door that was asking all the seniors to go give her information for their gown sizes.

We were pretty much freaking out about it, in a very low key way.
(Is that contradictory?)


In other news.

Did I mention that I'm campus bound, taking counseling, working in the cafeteria on weekends, and have my phone taken until January (minus homeleaves)?

Apparently, I'm becoming a wild child.

Will & Alex were suspended for 10 days and missed government trip for streaking naked down freshman hall. Jeff got an in school suspension for telling them NOT to streak down freshman hall.

Jessica and Kristy got a talking to and a letter sent home.

Everyone's been having a ridiculous amount of detentions.



Moving on.

Other than that, senior year = AWESOME.

WALL E

IS COMING OUT ON DVD

THE DAY AFTER MY BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY!

8D


Oh, and I'm campus bound for the first semester. And I have to take counseling with Dr Balraj.

Because I'm an irresponsible juvenile delinquent.

:D

Cyrano de Bergerac

He's my hero.

And it's super tragic, because...

Well, you should read it. Or watch the movie, even the modern interpretation one with Steve Martin, Roxanne. Mickey & Allison are actually watching it right now, and that's what reminded me. Except I think this one has a happier ending than the real story.

By the way-

Steve Martin = ♥love♥

LA Story is one of my favorites, along with A Simple Twist of Fate. Of course I like the random funny ones, like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, The Jerk, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Oh, and ¡Three Amigos!.

So, anyways. I could go on and on, but I'd rather rant about something else.

Like how
I'M HOPELESS!

Completely in a kidding-yet-totally-true way, of course.

Oh, plus I think I'm starting to become popular and I don't think I like it a whole lot. I don't get to talk to Ayana as much :(

There's a few other things, but they're mean and I don't like that when there's even the smallest chance that the person that I'm talking about might see it.

Because sometimes I feel mean, but I hate to actually offend anyone.


In other news...

Ummm...

Gymnastics has started. We aren't going to Acrofest because (in my opinion) our coaches were afraid to take the risk of actually trying to work for it. I've been kind of feeling useless too, because we have more guys on the team this year, which means that I'm probably just going to be backspotting and giving pointers. Plus the whole thing where we did knee-shoulders and my shoulder did that thing where it goes in & out of the socket, and as soon as that was feeling better I sprained my wrist.

I have a theory that next thing to go will either be by butt-bone, my hip, or my knee. Since I've already messed up my nose, neck, shoulder, and wrist.

Anywho.

So, I'm going to go now.

I've let myself type way to much :D

PS- I love Flapjacks ♥
