For some reason, I have the urge to say, I'm back! BITCHES! .....and so, I think I shall.
I'm Back!! ... BITCHES!!
Alrighty, so I've discovered something wonderful! I've been hearing everyone complain that they are too tired/stressed out/overworked lately, and I must say, I've been feeling the same way. But accidentally, I'VE FOUND A SOULTION.
Yesterday, I came home around 5:30 so I could babysit when my mom left at 6:00. I was dead tired, so, I set my phone alarm to go off in an hour, and gave it to my sister to come and wake me when it went off.
I vaguely remember her comming to wake me up, or, at least, I think I do, because when I woke up just a bit ago, at 12:30, my phone was underneath me.
I woke up feeling fantastic! Not only am I completely rested up, but also am full of energy. I think I'll have some breakfast, and then start my homework!
Odd dream involving Ashley, Matt, and Mrs. Weber.

Oh. And also, before I forget, I'd like to share a funny dream I experienced this morning. For some reason, we were at my grandma's house, and Matt needed to take my bed, so I reluctantly gave it up. Mrs. Weber and Ashley were there too, and we were getting ready for the next school day. In the dream, I remember I forgot to study, so Mrs. Weber yelled, "Lets go!" and we, for some reason, had to go back to Saint Hilary's so we could all study.
So, in order to get to saint Hilary's, Mrs. Weber breaks out the lawnmower, and Ashley, Matt and I get our boogie boards. I remember, Ashley's was Blueish, and it read, "I can Spell!" Matt's was brown, and across it was spelled in white letters "C H O C O L A T E." Mine was yellow-orangeish, and I can't remember what it said.
So as Mrs. Weber took off on the green lawnmower, we had to tie our boogie boards in a line quickly so we would be pulled/dragged by the tractor, and then attempt to jump on. Ashley's was first, tied to hers was Matt, and I tied mine to Matts. But Mrs. Weber kept driving wildly, and I couldn't jump on to my board, and kept missing. Eventually, I got on, but it was terribly difficult to hold on. And I couldn't figure out how the friction from the road wasn't lighting our boards on fire.
And then I woke up. >_>;;;;;;;

I have such a wonderful life, I was thinking while in bed. I'm terribly sick, having trouble breathing, coughing at least every minute and a half, am phsycially very weak, and my nose is raw from it being so runny; but even so, its not that bad.
I'm done this month with feeling self-concious. So for now on, I just won't. Yesterday I went out to southpark mall to buy clothes for senior pictures tomorrow, and dressed as myself. I put on my favorite sasuke shirt, complete with a permanent stain somewhere around middle. I put my hair up because, well, I like it that way. My face is breaking out too, because it natural, and I didn't put on any make up because it was easier not to.
It was wierd. I felt very exposed, but then again, why does it matter?
I'm feeling a bit of regret right now, though. I'd like to make something, but out of these four days off, I haven't studied yet. I figure I should probably start now.

Hearing::: Jack Johnson - Coccon
Yesterday was wonderfully relaxing, with a bit of fun mixed in. I spent some 13 hours with bill, and actually got caught by his dad doing... well, absolutely nothing, and thats what made it incredibly awkward. The night before I only was able to sleep for 3 hours, and so I was desperately tired after the mass. We both went up to his room, and I jumped on his bed, wrapped myself up in the covers, and promptly fell asleep. Bill sat on his computer and watched his favorite family guy episodes, and then his dad came in. His dad saw me on the bed, bill on the computer, and freaked out. Come to think of it, it IS rather funny, but that still doesn't take away from the fact that his dad is now most likely thinks a great deal less of me. But thats alright, as long as I know that I'm still a good person, its alright.
Went swimming, watched repeats of bevis and butthead (I haven't seen that show in forever, went to swensons, kill bill, then more tv. Its funny how such a simple and unexciting relationship (and by unexciting, I certainly don't mean boring. I mean no-stress, no drama, no going out everynight and partying [not that I do that anyhow. but i'm trying to make a point]) could keep me so happy and content.
Today, I woke up at one, and to my fortunate delight, discovered I have a cold, AND still have my terrible cough. I was so bored today, I started reading Dante's Inferno, which I thought might be exciting because, well, it's a British translation, but I was sorely mistaken. Upon opening the book, I discovered it was written in terza rima (3 lines), and poorly at that. Because of the translation, you can tell how forced the ryhmes are. While I'm usually a fan of iambic pentameter, i'd rather just this story be written in paragraphs. I don't know though, maybe its just this particular translation is a bad one. Maybe I'll go out and try to find another.
..>_> Wait a second, why am I talking about this in my journal? -_- I really must be bored. I think I'll take a shower and then get ready for kaitlins. *runs away*

Today was GREAT! I stayed home and watched the first part of Two Towers because I was bored stumbled across the dvd while searching for something to do.
I almost died multiple times today due to laughing so hard and losing the ability to breathe. Damn Ashley's constant Napoleon quotations and funny stories.
And get this, I had TWO Chai Tea's today, not one, but TWO!
And the day got even better when Bill agreed to play FF7 for a week.

Also, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate Soupy for comming up with the phrase "Chest Magnitude." All shall praise his genius.

Does the term cannon and fannon apply to nonliterature things as well? Hmm
Yes, its 10:53, and I have not started my college entrance application essays yet, and they are due tomorrow. Ah well, I'll figure it out in a bit.
What a fantastic week this has been. Very relaxing, very enlightening, and lots of fun was had. Friday was spent with Bunny and Gary, and it was so good for me. We had the biggest icecreams ever and then traved south to visit Kaitlin's unsuspecting grandma. When I saw how genuinely happy that woman was, I cried. Life makes me so happy.
Saturday was spent with Bill. First, He took me to an amazing pizza place called Luigi's downtown. I'd never been there before, but I definitely want to go back. It was delicious! Afterwards we headed back home and watched Jackass, followed by an hour or two of hilarious tv. Gah! Even though we don't go out much or do anything exciting, just being with him makes me so happy. Wait, didn't I say something like that earlier? *scrolls up*
Oh.
And now, I conclude with a quote. Brought to you by the ever-famous Gary(Kaitlin), who said this last friday over lunch: "Sellin' your boobies for Jesus."
Sellin' your boobies indeed.

Today was National Ron Appreciation Day, and I didn't know!
I had a blast this morning with Kaitlin on the announcements. I mispronounced words at least three names, stuttered a few times, giggled more often than not, and at the end, I ended up announcing that the cafeteria today would be serving "Chicken in a basket with heaven rolls." .........Heaven rolls? -_-

Ah, and there was another fine demonstration of my intelligence when Mrs Rafferty called me out of class because my headlights were on. ...Me? Forgetful? Not likely.

In other news, my college essays are due in a week, I want to drop my math class, and spent practically my whole day devoting myself to Advent Children. I finally found a trailer with subtitles, and my god, I've been fangirling ever since.
Saturday should be a blast! And one more day until Shoeboxday!

When I whisper this song, its haunting.
I'm afraid to go to sleep, because when I do, I'll wake up a senior.
All in one night, I feel like I'm growing up. I'm moving on. I'm leaving.
It scares me.
I... don't want to grow up.
I want to say that my friends are what will get me through this year, but now that I think about it, that's like setting myself up for a big downfall when at the end of the year, we all separate. It reminds me of that old song, Wear Sunscreen.
"Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind… the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself."
I'm The one that is going to have to get myself through this year. If I let myself get down over it, than how am I supposed to enjoy this last final year?
And I don't care about making the year "the best," or "The most exciting," what I want, is for it to be the one year that I don't regret. I feel like my whole life has been one long period of procrastination, and now time is running out.
What I want, is for this year to be my happiest. When I look back, I want to recall this last year with such fondness that tears come to my eyes and I'll be able to say, "That year I loved the world the most."
Tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of my life.

Yesterday was so overwhelmingly eventful I can't even fathom where to begin.
Ah, I guess I shall start with Kaitlin. I got to hang out with her for the first time in forever, and she introduced me to the fantastic delight that is Handels. And believe me, as avid an ice cream fan that I am, I've never had anything better. It was a banana cream orgasm in a cone. Dear Lord.
I had such a blast. We introduced eachother to new music, made fun of my car, packed, and ate delicious food. After dessert, we headed down to my school and set up camp for the night in the parking lot. And by camp, I mean we were really roughing it. A heated car, comfy seats and a portable dvd player. We watched the -cutest- movie and then people started showing up. Kyle and Nick Lenos ended up joining us and soon we were listening to crazy music and singing fun songs.
Ah, and before I forget to mention, it is tradition for the seniors to spend the night at school to be the first in line to get good parking spots for the upcomming year.
Around 11, Kaitlin left for the night and I almost died in Nicks car. I swear, I was so scared, he is a terrible driver. Then nick left and Kyle and I decided to go on an adventure. We drove to Giant eagle for coffee but ended up taking lots of pictures and printing them out. The coffee was sadly forgotten. We drove back to Walsh and walked around for a bit. There were about 50 people in the back part of the parking lot having a bonfire and playing crappy music, so we decided to find something else to do. Of course, I suggested we go on the roof and started climbing the walls. About 20 minutes up there by myself, Kyle finally helped me down and we decided to find another way to easily get up there. Using all the strength we could muster, we carried extremely heavy benches to the wall and started stacking them, eventually making a pyramid about 10 feet tall. Needless to say, we conqured the roof spectacularly.
We spent about 2 freaking hours up there exploring how high we could climb up and taking pictures to prove our expidition. Now that I think about it, that was probably a really stupid idea.
After climbing down, (3) trips to Sheetz, (lots of) aimless driving, (1) sleepy call from my cousin, (3) doughnuts, and (1) macaroni and cheese later, it was roughly 4 in the morning and a group of us were gatherd around a box of doughnuts making fun of Fr. Peppard and his obsession with little boys. 7 of us decide to all shove in my car and drive to the back to bonfire, and when we get there, courtney decides to -steal- my car. Fantastic.
The bonfire was a blast though. No one cared who anyone was and we all just sat around it with giant pixie sticks and laughed at eachothers stories, ocassionally pouring extra lighterfluid (nicknamed the pimp juice) into the fire to scare those who were starting to slip into sleep. Around sunrise at six we tossed the bottle in the pit for "The final whammy" or something like that (I can't remember), and it the result was exceedingly dissatisfactory. At 6:30 Kaitlin showed up very graciously with (more) doughnuts and coffee. I am still very grateful. Before cleaning up two of the boys (I'm too tired to recall their names) danced to NSync for us as promised. We were laughing so hard
Then around a quarter till seven we headed back to the front of the school and lined up at the doors. After a while of a terribly boring wait we were let inside, and I, as predicted, made the stupidest mistake.
I WAITED ALL THAT TIME AND GOT US A BAD PARKING SPOT, DAMMIT!

First off, I'd like to apologize for that last post. It was the medicine talking, I swear. And the sickness. I get either really violent or really hyper when i'm sick. I can't help it. *hides*
Secondly, "Happy Today!" I took Kyoshi out for her 18th today and we spent the whole day together. Sadly, I had to drag the kids along with us to, but I can be a good babysitter when I want to be. And I think I scared the children by letting my inner fangirl out too much. I haven't squealed that much with giddy laughter since... well, last night, now that I think about it. But still. It made me happy, and thats all that matters.
Thirdly, speaking of last night, I realized that I torture myself a lot more than I should. And also, I love this music video. It's the first time I've seen Kyo without black lipstick smeared all over his mouth and cheeks. Adorable. :3.
Oh. And one more thing. NO ONE FREAKING TOLD ME THAT AYA FROM PSYCHO LE CEMU WAS A GUY!!! JESUSHCHRISTWHEREDIDTHEFAKEBOOBSCOMEFROM!!? how strangely erotic.
