SO SO SO SORRY

I haven't like, updated in FOREVER. HW and crap like that.

Soooooo sorry.

Ugh, I PE so much

This is going to be a super short post.

My collarbone STILL hurts from when Collin Meris CRASHED into me in PE.

I spiral bound notebooks. SO much. They're out to get lefties.


I'M SO TIRED. I mean, we had like, a test in Computers, and one in Science, AND in Math. I think I got a B on the science one. =-( and probably a A- on the Math one.


I'M GONG TO TAKE ARION AND CHUCK HIM OUT THE WINDOW [great idea, Melinda]. Or kill Garrett Krebs. Or both. Sorry. They were both being serious idiots today in core.

Schedule!

So, I got my schedule today. *sobsobsob* I have:

Computers w/ Mr. Rigney =-) and Saskia and Melissa
Spanish w/ Mr. DeWall and Grace and Sydnie
P.E. w/ Mr. Peters
Science w/ Mr. Place and Maddie Zechar
Math w/ Ms. Vasarhely =-(
and English and History w/ Ms. Skrivan =-( and Kai

So yeah. I'm sad because I have Ms. Skrivan and I WANTED MS. HEATHCOCK!!!!!! And coincidentally, a ton of my friends have Ms. Heathcock. X-P

Sunday

So, turns out that Josh McPaul was well enough to preach Sunday, but he nearly died in England or something.....

And yesterday we went down to Palo Alto and spent the day with the Yans, and we haven't seen them for AGES, only once a month ago for the first time in two years. Emily and Beth fight a LOT. But Beth's awesome, and we both like the same books. And she LOVES Twilight! =-) Uncle Jerry really loves video games.... so we spent a looooooonnnnnnng time just staring at the TV screen.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! ORIENTATION'S TOMORROW!!!!! Can't wait to see everyone! Yay! It means that soon all the school supplies in Target are gonna go on SALE (eventually down to 75% off) and I'll be able to convince my mom to buy me tons and tons of pens and pretty notebooks.

Wow, I didn't really write a lot this time. I guess it's cause I just updated two days ago....

Collin

I just found out yesterday that my friend Collin (short, blond, going into 7th grade, broke his arm a while back, was on the track team...) has been in the hospital for a WEEK and he's gonna have to stay there for two MORE weeks because of a hip infection. That seriously, seriously sucks. And he has to miss the beginning of the school year.
And Josh McPaul's in the USA now, I think they moved him from England recently. He has in the hospital with some rare type of malaria that's immune to the meds they made everyone take when he and the FOCus team went to Uganda, I believe......

Sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER

Um, so......... I was in San Diego from Tuesday to Sunday. There was awesome Mexican food and we stayed with my uncle. Saw some of my parent's friends who live in LA and went to Legoland. Sadly, there weren't enough fast roller coasters there. But Annette finally tried going on them and LOVED them. Oh, and there were a TON of Westfield malls down there, so I also got to do a bit of shopping. =-D But it is sooooooo warm and humid down there. I'm glad to be in Northern CA.

I bought Eclipse a few days ago, because before San Diego I went to Barnes and Noble and my mom only let me stay for 2 hours, so of course I couldn't finish it. But anyways, my mom caught me reading it around 11 with a flashlight and it was taken away from me for 2 days. But I got it back last night and was able to finish it! =-)

And they have the second floor framing and subfloor up! And most of the roof framing. Which is really exciting, even thought my parents and I are the only ones interested in the houses progress (Eliot and Annette couldn't care less, really).

I cannot WAIT until orientation, cause then I get to see everyone! And I got my EARS PIERCED yesterday!!!!! =-D My mom's been begging me to get them pierced since I was 10. And I said I'd get it done when I turned 11, and then 12, and then 13, and when we were in a mall in San Diego we passed a Claire's and I was like, "Can I get my ears pierced?" It was totally random, but I decided I might as well get them pierced then, but my dad made me wait until we got back to the Bay Area. So now I can't take the earrings out for 2 months, and need some type of earrings to be in my ears at all times for the first 6 months. But it's kidna annoying cause I like to tug on my ears when I'm bored and (actually, I just tried to w/o thinking...)and the earrings keep scratching my hands. =-(

And in San Diego I watched HSM2 on Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night! It was amazing, and I made my brother watch as well! I've had Every Day stuck in my head for a while now. =-) And in Claire's I a hairbrush that said "I love Troy" on the back. I need to buy it for Tacy and Veronica.

Pictures

I kinda went insane with the pictures. =-) It was really fun. And if you haven't realized yet that I'm obsessed with Harry Potter (yes, I hide it well)........ And there are lots of HP7 quotes, and other quotes, and SBP quotes, and Twilight quotes, and other random quotes.

Randomness

Hi, sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER, the Internet was down all yesterday. =-(

Swimming on Thursday was GREAT because we didn't do any hard stuff- we just did drills and stuff, only 50s and we didn't need the clock, which was awesome, because I hadn't been to practice for like, two weeks before then. And yesterday the only thing we did was dryland, warm up and then we played SHARKS AND MINNOWS the entire time. It was amazing. But we had to do wall sits, and I hate wall sits. And when we were playing S&M Dave made it a rule that you could drag people up to the surface. As you can imagine (if you know how the game works) it was really quite painful because that game the guys were the Sharks. Collin, John and Juan (this weird freaky guy) all decided to show up on the same day, and it was really violent and annoying because there were only six Minnows, and all three guys would drag one person up each round. But besides that, it was really fun, cause Sydnie was there, but she had to leave early. =-(

And Ms. Chea sent out a huge email today! But it's really sad, because Ms. Chea was really nice and cool. And I kinda want school to start really soon, because I can't wait to see everyone. And I really wanna we in tons of classes with everybody, and I want to know which teachers I'm gonna have...... It's NOT fair, because my cousin in Norway gets a class list and knows which teacher he's gonna get for the next year at the end of the school year, so he gets to know all summer.

And I'm also really excited for San Diego, because the Yans are going the same week as us, and I've only seen them once in TWO YEARS (because "Auntie" Alice has been so sick and "Uncle" Jerry's dad was also really sick, and sad stuff like that) and they're really good friends, and I've known then since, forever, really. So yeah. And we recently saw the Sanders and the Tus, and it was really fun, because Leana and Alison are really good friends, and Rachel is SO BIG now (she's 8, I think).

And soooooo many people are in mission trips in Uganda now, the Chinens, the Morgans, the Barthels, FOCus people...... It's kinda sad, because a lot of my church friends are gone and stuff, and I'm gonna be in San Diego with Uncle Dave (ugh. I don't really LOVE my uncle all that much....) the week they get back. AND ECLIPSE IS COMING OUT IN TWO DAYS ON AUGUST 7!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait. The other day (because Oma decided to randomly send me a $50 gift card in the mail) I went to Barnes & Noble and bought Twilight. And a ton of girls at Westminster Woods were reading Twilight. So yeah. I'm excited. Something to look forward to. And I checked out this great book at the library, but it's really short, so I finished it really soon. I really like the writer's style of writing. (The book's The Fruit Bowl Project)

And I babysat for Keiko and Ethan on Thursday and Monday I'm babysitting a little girl on my old block. And the house passed an inspection, so they're starting to work on putting the subfloor and insulation in, and there's part of a wall up! Hopefully it'll be built soon.

Sorry this entry's just really random stuff. =-D

Back

I'M BACK!!!!!! I had soooooo much fun at camp I could go on for HOURS about how evil Nick Henry is and how awesome Tacy is and how scary Micah is when she's sugar high, and how awesome Jessica is and how rude Tom is and how EVERYONE loves Mitch (no clue why, he's ugly,)...... And how much I'm gonna miss everyone. ::sobsob:: Today was soooo sad, because everyone lives in different parts of CA except for Maddie and I and Micah and Shannon, so it's really sad...... But Tacy's still there for High School Camp, so Maddie and I are gonna send her like, 20 letters so she has to sing a solo. =-D

And I read Harry Potter 7 in FOUR hours on Saturday! And we also got a Wii on Saturday.... And my siblings are OBSESSED with it (the Wii). So anyways, let me know if anything big happened when I was gone and such.... GRR! I've got Jem and the Holograms stuck in my head!!!! (We are the Misfits/our songs are better/we are the Misfits, the Misfists/and we're gonna get her!.... The music's outrageous, contagious)

sick

hey guys. i went to swimming today, went home, showered and afterwards i had this massive chill, and it had my teeth chattering REALLY loudly. now i have a fever[and they're all gone now, so i'm sneaking on). =-( if i'm not better by saturday, i'll be back online on the 29th, cause harry potter 7 comes out on the 21st, so nobody will see me and i will have NO contact with ANYONE (except my dad, who is going to holland) and then i'm going to go to camp from the 22 to the 28. i hate being sick.

love y'all!

joanne

Writing Camp's OVER

I'm sooooo sad!! I had so much fun there, and made a ton of friends, and now it's over and I won't see a lot of them again. =-( It's only been out for less than an hour, but I miss everyone already, like Justine and her Kingdom Hearts OBSESSION, and Claire and Jack's flipping-each-other-off-across-the-room and staring contests. But I won't miss Alex's annoying flirting with all the girls.

And on Tuesday NOBODY was at swimming, except for these two weird high school guys. And it was sad, because I could swim faster than them when we were sprinting, but then we did distance work, and I HATE distance swimming. I suck at it. And the intervals were too fast for me, so I've been tired and sore ALL week.

And Wednesday, we had the poetry reading at Cody's! And it wasn't that bad (like Syd kept telling me) and I had fun, and my anthology is PRETTY, because I decorated every single page. And it's better looking than Jack's. So there.

HARRY POTTER 7 IS OUT IN A WEEK!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Harry's totally gonna die. Everybody knows that. But it comes out the day before the day that Maddie Z and I leave for that camp, so I only have a day to read it, but I'll probably get to finish it anyways. =-D

Heather's back! But she's only a leader, and Mat's gone, so it's kinda cool, cause everybody thinks that she's in charge, and she's not. And my team had the BEST hiding spot for Capture the Flag, even though I HATE that game.

Oh, and I have to email Jerry, and tell him that I can't do RESL, cause I'll be gone, and he won't believe me, and my mom'll have to tell him that I really can't. And Annette wants to have a SLEEPOVER with her friend. She's 6! She's probably gonna call at 10 asking to go home again. =-) And my dad's gonna be in Amsterdam because of work the week I'm gone.

I'm bored. Really bored, and I don't have anything to say, really

The title pretty much says it all. I have Thanks for the Memories playing again and again and again..... And I saw Jake again yesterday! Paul hasn't changed a bit. Oh, and happy belated birthday to Lesly!

Jenna's probably gonna go to Summer @ the Park on Thursday! And Grace might be able to go. =-) And it would be awesome if any of you guys can go, cause we basically just eat pizza and play games, and then Mat (but this week my mom's teaching) talks for 20 min. It's on Thursday from 6-8 and it's at Codornices Park in Berkeley (across the street from the Rose Garden, the place with the AWESOME concrete slide). I MISS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

And that poetry reading is on Wednesday at Cody's. =-( I mean, I love hearing other people's stuff, but I HATE reading my own work aloud! So I'm kinda freaking out about that, even though it's only Monday.....

And I might not be able to get the Memorial Park thing together! ::cries:: Because everybody's doing different things on different days, and once my writing camp's over, I think I have a week before Maddie Zechar and I go to Westminister Woods, and then as soon as I get back my family's going to San Diego for a week because my uncle's house is there, even though he lives in England..... So it might end up happening in AUGUST. Which now seems like a LONG time away. =-'(

HAIRCUT

I got a haircut today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And now it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO short! I think it's 4 in. shorter. I LOVE IT! =-D And the teacher at my writing camp loves the short story I wrote and wants to keep a copy as an example next year! So today's a good day. =-)

But- Helen Wong's moving to China!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =-'( She's soooo nice, and I talk to her alot, and she doesn't like Ms. Lamson! (She had her, too.) So today's her last practice, so I'm definitely going.


Sorry, but I don't really have anything else to say......

July 4th

Happy almost July 4th everybody!!!! Hope you have an awesome time and stuff (I'm going to a house of an old family friend that owns like 4 houses in Oakland and Piedmont. XP)

Tomorrow my mom and I are going to be helping out in the booths at this July 4th thing that the Gators are responsible for, and I think that Kenny's mom is gonna be there because our moms were talking about the parent's meeting that they had and all that fun stuff! And so far this week I haven't had to go to practice, but I think I have to go Thursday....

And yesterday I went to see Ratatouille! It was good, but part of it was sooooo cliched.

And Jake, Andrea, and Charis came over for dinner last night and he had a ton of fun together. I haven't see Charis in FOREVER [when I was in 5th grade], and the last time I saw Jake and Andrea was over a year ago. But I saw Josh (who isn't in CA) just before the end of the school year and Paul's flying in tomorrow night, so I'll see all of them except Josh in Sunday @ church.

ED SO SOOOOOO ED!!!!!

I AM SOOOOOOOO MAD AT THAT LOUSY A**HOLE!!!!!! ED!!!!! ANGRY!
HE IS GOING TO DIE!!!!!!! [on Tuesday]
Because Grace is totally going to smash him to pieces. , I tell you. And I will laugh. A lot. Because Grace and I are MAD.

~A few minutes later........~

Calmed down. A tad. Well, so there's this Henry guy (I'm sure you've heard of him from Grace) in her science class...... And he was dissing Asians! And then he said he was a quarter Chinese...... And there were Asians there and didn't do anything..... GRRRRRR

La la la la

This entry is just going to be a ton of my completely random thoughts and things I feel like putting here:

I'm listening to Umbrella (on Sydney's blog) and now I think it's gonna be stuck in my head all day. =-)

Sooooooo sooooooooooo sooooooooooooooo soooooooooooooooo bored!!!!!!!!!! And EJ keeps annoying me. Grrrrr. X-P And Travis and Chris were freaking me out on Tuesday [don't ask. Really, don't]. And I MISS EVERYONE!!!!!!

And oh my gosh!!!!!!!! ANDREA, CHARIS, AND JACOB FLEW IN LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're staying at the Mowat's cause they're on this road trip thingy. But they're staying for like, 6 days. So they won't be here for long. =-(

And I got an email from Maddie J. today. She got an email account! Yay. Finally. =-) So at least I won't miss her SO much, cause I can email her now.

Now I'm listening to Thanks for the Memories by Fall Out Boy. I dunno why, but I really like this song.

Swim practice today, so I'll probably see Travis and Chris again. It was so funny yesterday when Sydnie, Rebecca and I were pretending not to know them yesterday. Going to practice again today, but I've had this major stomach ache all day, so I might not. Depends on my Mom, who isn't home yet.

Summer @ the Park today. Can't wait because I haven't seen ANYBODY all week from FPCB, because I didn't get to do VBS this year. ='-( And Lexie's moving up to high school.

Yesterday Lucy and I were on Neopets and we were playing Cheat! [I love that game. It's so easy and fun. And in 5th grade, EVERYONE in my class played BS.] and it took 30 seconds to load the new windows and it was boring. I think Lucy's computer hates her more than mine hates me (Remember, Syd?) because it worked fine for Calvin.

I need to send out the Massive Email soon. Sometime. Soon, hopefully. I miss all you guys soooooo much!!!!!!!

I might have to go to a Meet in Sunnyvale or something on the 6th. And I REALLY DON'T WANT TO. But I might've missed the registration date. =-D

At my camp we made origami shirts to put poetry on. And we have to do a reading at the end to the 3 weeks. And I really hate reading my work out loud to people. I don't like people reading my work AT ALL. And I really hate having to read it out loud.

People need to get on Meebo!!! But I have to get off at 1.

Oh, and Shing and I both got these freaking comments by this Rodrigo dude (or something like that) in Spanish (I think) about customized shirts). I'm guessing it's just one of those random computer generated ads that people put on blogs. Or it's some type of joke that Kenny or Kai did.

I fell really sorry for the people who live in Tahoe because some of them might have to be evacuated soon.=-(

And WOW I wrote a lot!

Swim meet

The meet today was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!! But it was over really fast, because it started at 9 and ended by 11 (it was only a funmeet w/ us, the Hammerheads, and Montclair...)

I won my heats for 50 fly and 50 breast, which is really surprising, because breaststroke is my WORST stroke!! And back is my favorite stroke, but I was 4th or something. And for the 100 free I got tired halfway through the 3rd lap, so I was 2nd. And I'm kinda sad, cause I was leading nearly the entire time. But whatever. There's always room for improvement.

Kenny missed the hour of warmup and only did the first two events because he had to leave at 11. Which is so not fair, but then he had to do the relays (and I felt bad for him because he was on Clio's team and she was sooooooooo slow!) And Sydnie won her heat for the 50 fly!

The bad thing is that my goggles broke right before the first event(X-P) so I borrowed Sydnie's, and then my dad went home and got me my brother's pair....

And it was really weird, because Kenny's mom came up to me w/ Sydnie and Rebecca's sisters, and she was like "Oh, you should ask Joanne if you need to know anything about strokes! She knows everything you need to know! (and I was like, really? do I? and then she said, yes, you do) Joanne, yes, this is Joanne." And then I answered their questions, and then Dorise was all "Just go to Joanne if you have any more questions!" And then Kenny said "I said basically the same thing and they didn't believe me!"


And my writing camp starts tomorrow, and Summer @ the Park starts on Thursday. Which is really good, because I've been doing basically nothing all week except for swimming.

Memorial Park

Went to Memorial Park today and yesterday (babysitting) and it still says Chynna <3 Kai! And all those scribbles that Juneyoung or somebody made. You kinda can't read it, though. =-(

Went to swimming yesterday and Sydnie, Rebecca, Kelly, and Kenny were there. But Kenny was being really mean to everyone. And Jerry's making me do ALL the events on Sunday! Which sucks, because I have to do 50 breast and I'm soooooo slow at breaststroke. It's a fun meet, cause it's postseason, so we can do 50s! [Which is GREAT.]


I've been really bored all week, babysitting and playing video games. And I miss everybody!

DEPRESSED AND EMO RIGHT NOW

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!

I dunno if you guys have heard, but this guy killed his two children, wife, then committed suicide!(apparently because of financial problems) And his youngest daughter was on Annette's soccer team! ='-( And she went to Cornell too, and her parents were SO NICE.


On a lighter note, here's Purpling! (Every year the high school people do parodies of stuff, this year they did a parody [several, actually] of The Office.)

SO SORRY I haven't updated in FOREVER

Friday was the last day of school!!!! It's sooooooooo sad! =-'( I'm only gonna see some of my friends; my FPCB friends and Kenny, Rebecca, and Sydnie, and Paige, if she goes to Gators.
And Travis went to Solano with us. That was not cool. And now Pia and I kinda wanna know what Conner and Kevin were talking about.

But overall it was really fun Friday! And we totally should've started doing MASH a little earlier. We went to Jamba Juice and then got lunch and went to Memorial Park. And I'm gonna send out that massive email to everybody soon (in July).

Finally figured out how to use Meebo, which is good, cause then I can talk to people through AIM. But Syd, Grace, and I were having SO MANY ISSUES Thursday w/ the group chat thingy. =-)


Swim practice on Wednesday was SO fun! Originally, Sydnie, Rebecca, Kenny, Paige, and I were all together in lane 8, but Jerry moved Kenny and I to lane 7. But we did lots of kicking and we all went slow so we could talk.


Tomorrow I'm gonna start babysitting Ben, which should be fun, because he's just gonna play w/ Eliot the whole time.


And I already miss ALL my friends!! I mean, yeah, it's only been a few days, but I really miss all of you. But I'm not gonna post a fricking list of everyone.

Sunday

The eighth graders are now officially (in First Pres) OUT OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now I won't have to see them anymore (until next year). I'm sooooooooooo sooooooooo sooooooo happy!


And Melissa wanted to highlight her hair and now it looks like crap. Really. It kinda matches Zoli's now.


Got my Presidential Award for the second year and Mr. Gann said my name wrong. He said Joanna. Hello! I was, at one point, in TWO of his classes a day! And he usually says my name right......


And today, it was soooo funny, Sydney was on her mom's cell phone calling her dad, and Kenny went up to her and hugged her and said "Hi Sydney!" Then I told her she was talking to her dad and he totally freaked out. =-)

Small group

Yesterday was our last small group! =-( And Lexie's going up to high school after Sunday. I mean, she can be ultra hyper (scarier than Sydney) at times...

But a little birdie told me that next year it's gonna be once a week instead of twice a month. Which is good, because we only get around 20 minutes to talk. We play too many retarded games. Can't wait for Summer in the Park. And HEATHER MIGHT BE COMING BACK FOR NEXT YEAR (as a volunteer, sadly). I mean, Mat's okay, but everybody loves Heather. Mat's not so popular.


And I am SO SICK of Alden! It's always "Alden's such a nice person!" "Alden's so nice, don't you wish she was your friend?"

Drama today

Albero was being a perv today too... (he's the Al I was referring to yesterday). We were doing that commercial improv and he- again, I'm not going to describe anything. But it had something to do with being wild and bedrooms. EW! It was really gross!!!!

And today was Hawaiian/Eat on the Field Day. It was really fun, except RB followed us onto the blacktop..... Cause she eats lunch with us. Kinda. I don't think people talk to her.
And then Kai went up to her and shouted BANANAS! But she just laughed. I really wish I was there when she fell flat on her face.

Swimming

Went to practice today. Kenny tried out and made As (he said he'd try to make Bs..... I think him mom made him), so we were swimming and stuff- then we saw Clio.

She's on Bs. (I just realized that I've talked a lot about swimming recently. =-) I'm about as swimming obsessed as Grace is track obsessed. ) SO, anyways, Jerry was correcting her freestyle cause before she got in the pool (this was WAY before her practice started, she spent nearly thirty minutes sitting in a chair doing nothing). So, later, Kenny was like, "I know which one's Clio!" and he points that this short kid thrashing around in the water. I think they were attempting to do butterfly. I'm not sure. I asked him "Why do you think that's Clio?"

"They're sorta short and they can't swim." It was sooo funny!!!

And today in Drama we were watching Whose Line is it Anyways? And there was this clip.... I refuse to talk about it. It was NASTY. And all the guys eyes start bulging and their mouths fall open. Some start laughing. It was worse than the part in Dead Poets Society and the guys pull out that poster (the guys LOVED that).

And later Al was like, "There's nothing wrong with liking it. I actually kinda liked it." I almost gagged.

Gators

And Becca and Sydnie are on Gators!! They're As too, so I'll have some people who are my age on the team besides Dannie and Holly (and Laura). Jackie's really nice, but she's 3 years older than me. And Holly almost never come.

I guess Kenny and maybe Seido'll start swimming again soon, but they're Bs and Kenny, who could probably make As, wants to say in the Bs cause he's really lazy.

Today at Lunch (again)

Oh my gosh! So, today at lunch, I was about to go to the blacktop when 90% of the school starts running towards the blacktop, and some people are climbing the fence. So Grace was like, C'mon! And Sydney and I started running after her, and then there are tons of people running toward the gap in the bushes on Cougar Field. And then we hear the sirens and people say they heard gunshots. And we kept running around on the blacktop.

And I kept on saying that they probably found crack on Cougar Field (there is a suspicious bag on the perimeter filled with a white chalky substance... [most likely chalk]). And it's possible. Ryo kept on telling people that there was a dead body w/ no head. Yeah right.
Then Garret Kreb's dad shows up in his police vest talking to people on the BART track. So everybody starts eavesdropping.

And in eighth period Ms. Lamson reads us a statement. That's the second time this semester (Ms. Sorg). The police got a suspect in a robbery. Ms. Davis thinks it was a high school student. Funnily enough, they got the suspect, but not the victim. Anyways, it was REALLY funny to see everybody running like mad.

And Travis kept on swearing today and I got pissed at him because of that.

Today at Lunch (and a couple other things)

Ok, so EVERYBODY's written about the Renaissance Fair- about how cold it was and how fun it was, so yeah.... And the African drumming thing was- it's kinda hard to explain. Such good blackmail material, though. If only somebody got a tape of all our teachers shaking their in front of the entire 7th grade. But at least we missed Science.

Sydney and I were saying that we've been scarred for life twice (those guys waxing their legs TWICE!!) , but now this is the 3rd time. Just great.


And then today Chris got one of those 6-foot bubble gum tape thingys that were so popular years ago and put all of it in his mouth! He started chewing like crazy, (and Veronica gave him a Pocky, and he almost ate it WITH the gum in his mouth. Gross.) then eventually he spit it out onto a stick, which Conner hurled over the fence onto the BART tracks (he's such a litterbug!). Later on Ms. Shepard (she's in the FPCB directory, but I've only seen her there twice) and she shook down the soccer ball from one of the trees and ALMOST stepped on the huge wad of gum! It would have been sooo funny if she did!


Then Chris took two packs of gum (Bazooka and Dentine Ice) and started popping Bazooka gum into his mouth when the bell rang. It's just so gross! How can you shove ten (plus) pieces of gum into your mouth?! Ew. Like Sydney said earlier, how did we/I end up with such a crazy bunch of people?!



And today in Science, I got really annoyed at Travis. Actually, annoyed is an understatement. I was really pissed. He kept on talking to Craig and Rylan, hitting random keys on the keyboard while I was TYPING (and I was also the only one doing any work) and- oh my gosh! HN's music video for Zero came out Thursday! Ok, so, back to the Travis thing, and he kept on being really annoying and complained how bored he was but didn't help at ALL. So when Rylan thought he was being really annoying (he wasn't really), just humming and singing, and I ignored him, which made him mad, because I constantly told him he was being annoying, so he got mad that I ignored him.

So he starts bugging Seido, right? And then saying that Seido likes me and all that crap, so Seido threatens to break his nose. Travis squealed and tried to get as far away from Seido as possible (which was about two centimeters) and covered his nose. Seido says that he'll get Kevin to help. Travis said that Kevin said he's never hit Travis again (does ANYONE believe that?!) It would've been REALLY funny if he did break his nose.... But that's mean, so I didn't say anything and kept on typing.


On Sunday my mom taught. And those stupid 8th grade boys sat in front of me, in the very front. And they kept on raising their hands in the middle of her talking asking stupid questions like, after she mentioned that she grew up in Sweden in one of her stories, "Do you speak Swedish?" and crap like that. And then they started giggling and snorting and laughing and everybody in the room wished they weren't there. They were lying down, with their feet close to us, and Hikari got so mad she took her cell phone out of her pocket and was about to stab Taylor's leg with it, but she decided not to (Jenna and Martine were all for it).

They are so IRREVERANT (sorry, inside joke with my History/English class) and have NO respect for authority! When my mom asked them to move they just said "NO" (and she's the only they actually listen to most of the time) and so when Evan asked Jack to move it took five minutes, and Jack refused to sit where they asked him and he was just in general being a butthead. And then Alden just sat there and laughed. Everyone says she's nice, and I guess she is, sorta, but she hangs out with them, and-


Kim Watson (Peter's mom) told me sometimes she gets jealous of how popular my mom is with those idiots, but honestly, sometimes I guess I get jealous too. Well, not really jealous, but annoyed that Alden can go up to me and say "Sarah's my best friend", or that the time we saw Jack in Target (what was he doing in Albany anyway?) he ran up to her and gave her a really big hug, or that Taylor keeps on telling me that my mom's awesome and totally cool. I mean, she's MY MOM. MY mom. I know that she's done some pretty things when she was young, I've heard all the stories from her and my aunts and uncles, but I mean, sometimes- most of the time, I really wanna slap them all. I mean, they don't think their moms are cool, so why do they think mine is? I just- she's my mom. Not their best friend.

I'm okay with Adrienne, Lesly and Hikari saying that my mom's awesome, because they're my friends, and they're not annoying. WOW. I wrote a LOT. Sorry.

Sydney's blog

I know that this happened a long time ago, but I was reading Syd's blog and then I remembered that time when Kai decided to wax his legs. Idiots. Anyways, here's what Sydney posted:

Today, I am officially scarred for life.

It all started with the election ppl who were putting up their posters today (our school is COVERED with posters). A lot of ppl at The Dome had masking tape and duct tape for the posters. So they started taping each others' wrists together and putting it in their hair, etc. Then, OMG, this is painful to recount, the guys dared each other to PUT TAPE ON THEIR LEGS AND RIP IT OFF!!! As in, like, waxing their legs!!! They all started to wax themselves and Conner got a big rectangle without hair on his legs. And Kevin, being the dummy that he is, decided to use DUCT TAPE. I think we all know how strong that stuff is, so, when he ripped it off, he screamed like a little girl.

When I think about this, it makes me wonder: How did I end up with this group of crazy ppl?!? But, I like my group. We always do stupid/crazy stuff and have a lot of fun without caring what other ppl think about us. So yeah.


When I asked Kai WHY he did that he said: "It's just one of those things that guys never do. I wanted to know what it was like!"

Drama Monologue

I REALLY don't want to do that Drama thing tomorrow! I haven't even STARTED to memorize- I know maybe, 5 or 6 lines. And I need to know it by TOMORROW! This really sucks.


I think basketball season for St. Jerome is over, which is bad, because then Laura will start showing up at swimming nearly every day. Darn. But I don't have to go to practice today because my mom can't give me a ride.


ACC was really fun! And we all love Susan! =-) She's the BEST.... The ropes course was interesting- I didn't go. And Mat just doesn't understand that I'm kinda scared to heights. "Church office" is really funny (NO PURPLE) but there aren't that many episodes. And I ALMOST bought a Skillet CD in the book store, except it was only a demo and I couldn't buy it. =-(


The demo people used 6,000 gallons of water when they tore down the house, and now the lot's completely waterlogged. You can jump or walk on it and the ground ripples. It's kinda freaky and cool at the same time.


Finally read The Last Days and I keep on thinking of "nine kinds of...".

House demo

The house (940) was torn down today!! Finally, so hopefully we can start building today. The idiots were supposed to show up on Monday, but they didn't show, so they prepped the house yesterday. My dad put one of the vids up on YouTube, so here's the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvFfQNJw6xA


ACC's coming up soon, and I can't wait! It's so much fun, except I'm pretty sure some people are going.


Swim practice today, and IT'S LUCY'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!! (It actually could've been yesterday, I'm not sure.......)


AND I'M TRAVIS' PARTNER FOR WISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also sit across from Rylan and Craig. Oh joy.

La la la la la la la la la

I still need to do the Spanish hw that was due on Friday. =-) Grace and I kept on "forgetting it at home"....... I really hate Spanish homework.


Drama today was fun. We started watching The Dead Poets Society, which I've heard was really good before today, but we only got to see 30-something minutes of it so I'm no exactly sure what the plot is yet.


Swim practice today, tomorrow, and Thursday. Tomorrow 23 comes, and maybe Remy, but he'll definitely be there Thursday, sadly. Today wasn't so bad, we did pretty mellow stuff. And Jackie's back!! =-) because track season for CPS is over (they didn't make it to NCS). And Colter attempted to flirt with her before practice. I wonder if he'll get Andrew to ask her out again (he's done that quite a few times, actually....)


Three tests today. I think I screwed up on the first part of part B on the history test, and I thought I messed up on the second part of the Science test, but Ms. Lamson showed me what I got on that after she finished grading it (I got minus zero for that part) so today wasn't that bad.


Today at lunch people started playing Zap, and then Veronica- well, Grace wrote what Veronica told her to, zapped me with SEIDO! (and someone zapped June young with 5 different girls, me, Grace, and somebody else...... Veronica zapped Kai with Jennifer, but he wouldn't ask her out.) And then before Science Rylan found out. Oh great. So then Sebastien started whispering (in the middle of the test) "Joanne, Seido completes you.", "Seido, Joanne completes you.", "Joanne, you complete Seido.", "Seido, you complete Joanne." and all that kind of crap and I got really annoyed at both him and Rylan.

Ugh

EVERYONE today was talking about Albert, Kai, and Conner. Conner said that he did it because it was "fun" and later on he said that it was funny, but fun and funny are kinda different. Huh. Yeah. sure. Sounds like a lot of fun. Kai said that the s kept on looking at him *gags*. I'm kinda surprised Kenny didn't to that, actually.........

ALL DAY people kept on telling me how Conner has a six pack and that Kai and Albert are really skinny and aren't nearly as buff as Conner.


I am soooooooo sick of people telling me that I should go out with Kenny!!!!!!!! (and that I look like a "biker chick" in Maddie's sunglasses) And it's mainly Kai. X-P So I told him that he looked cute with Chyna and he shut up.


Rylan, again, drove Saskia and I crazy, but he was moved halfway through the period. =-) But Simon's really annoying, too.

Drama

I know I probably already told you guys, but everyone says I didn't really well on my Drama thingy!! (I think it sucked, and I skipped a line) But it really wasn't that bad. The good thing is that my partner annoys me, so I didn't have to pretend to be really mad.... =-)


Small groups tonight, can't wait! And Remy decided not to show up at swimming today, so it wasn't that bad, because Peter left early, and Robbie wasn't there. And Rylan was annoying at school, but Saskia was there.

Whispers in the Dark

I think I've listened to it at least 15 times today. I really like that song. And Rebirthing.. They're both really good. P.O.D. and Pillar are pretty good, but I think Pillar's another genre.


Remy decided to show up at Swimming today, and it was really annoying, but he wasn't in my lane; I was with Amanda and Danielle. Amanda's unnaturally fast, and my foot kept cramping up...... Ha ha, Laura likes Colter! [And Jared and Ethan and Max, and pretty much anyone on JV/Gauchos/Gators who's at least 2 years older than her.] And Colter's really scared of her now. O crap. Tomorrow's Wednesday, which means that she'll be at practice tomorrow.


P.E. today really didn't make ANY sense. Really. And Mr. Gann said he'd run a lap because he made us do this retarded thing but he didn't! So it wasn't fair. Kai looked like an idiot when he put his backpack up his sweatshirt to be Louis the Fat.

In Drama I got an A! =-) (For knowing my lines) I was soooo nervous at lunch and then Kai decided to steal my script so I couldn't really practice and he wrinkled it, too. My partner wants to do lushka so we're going tomorrow. And I'm gonna screw up REALLY badly, but it's lushka which means he'll go easier on us. Thank goodness.


Rylan was impossible today! Saskia left early =-( and he didn't get anything that we were doing so I had to help him and he and Simon drove each other crazy all afternoon. He calls me Googly now and it's annoying.

Um......

Kai thinks he knows who Peppermint is and it's sooooooo annoying so Veronica came up with "Beat Up Kai Day". And at lunch all the guys were singing "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" and Potter Puppet Pals stuff (I USED to be obsessed with them, awhile ago.... Lemon Demon's cool, though.) and Kai can't sing for crap. And I finished Math hw in class today, it was really easy. =-]


The Fourth Power was pretty stupid. When Mat started whacking Sam on the back really hard and fast and yelling I got kinda scared. I think most of us did. Not a lot of FPCB people [kids] like Mat. And we played Steal the Bacon/noodle hockey. That was strange, but I did score a goal =-). And Mat kept on sucking up to his small group. Surprise surprise.


I think Saskia was ready to kill Rylan today, today he stole my binder (again!!) and scratched it up pretty bad so I whacked him on the head with it and them Ms. Lamson told Rylan off. But for some reason he's fixated on calling Saskia "blondie" and it pisses her off. A lot.


Just in case you were wondering *coughsydcough*..... Jess is Cliff's dog, and she's had multiple surgeries. I think that Cliffy's cat had cancer too and died a year ago.

Google is sexist! (my dad was doing this search quality evaluation thingy for work and he emailed me.........)

Ok, now I'm pretty pissed. Google's totally sexist!

Search:
she shoots she scores
she invented
she achieved
she suceeded
she discovered

and check the bit at the top saying "Did you mean:"

Then compare it to:
she failed
she lost
etc.

4th Power

4th Power today. I kinda don't wanna go, but I promised Maddie I would. ::sighs:: I wonder who else is going, as long as Cat doesn't show up I think it won't be that bad- then again, Mat's idea of a fun game is very different than mine (he makes us play retarded games with complicated rules and they don't make any sense.). But a little birdie ::coughmymomcough:: told me that somebody else is in charge of games on Sunday, but I'm not sure about tonight.


Rylan was super annoying (as per usual) today. Saskia and I were really ed by the end of the day; however, he only mentioned me dating someone once, so it wasn't that bad. But he kept calling Saskia blondie and stealing my binder and pen.


That thing for drama. *sighs* I have to memorize my lines by Tuesday. I know most of them, except for that reeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllly long paragraph at the bottom of page 2. I memorized half of that. Japan Report was turned in today ::grinsanddancesaroundtheroom::!! Now I don't have to have to worry about that.

Right now I'm currently obsessed (don't I sound like Alice?) with "Whispers in the Dark" by Skillet. I really don't get how some people think Skillet's emo. I also really like "Searching for Angels".


All day Kai bothered me about guess who? [If you guessed Peppermint, good for you, cause you're right.] And it was annoying, really really really very annoying. I almost slapped him after school when he asked me for maybe the millionth time this week. But it was really funny to see his expression after I reminded him that *coughcoughsomeonecoughcough* practically STALKS him...... And Maddie J wasn't that much better. I really don't get why so many people care so much; it's really bugging me.



......................................................................





.......................................................







And now I'm really sad; my mom just told me that Jess died. The cancer spread to her toes and they put her to sleep.

La de da da da

Swimming again today. Oh joy. Thank the Lord we had a really mellow day yesterday because there was only 10 or 12 people tops. But a lot of people show up on Thursdays, including Remy. Again, oh joy. I can't wait.


Japan Report due tomorrow. I only have 3/4 done. Some people aren't even halfway finished; but I did do all of the Ch. 14 work, instead of only going through to 14.5. At least tomorrow's back to normal, though STAR testing isn't that bad.


And I can see why Lilia said that we were immature. We put Kai's bangs up in a ponytail that stood up straight and Joun Young had two pigtail of the top of his head. They both looked like Emily, Grace's little sister. It was pretty funny, but we couldn't convince them to run at the track meet like that.

Kenny is being v.v.v.v.v.v.v. annoying today, but our moms were there, so I couldn't do anything....

Okay, so after swim practice I was sitting on the edge of the pool, talking to Danielle, and Albany was there because they don't have blocks and there's this major meet coming up.......

And Kenny and Conner were there, so I said Hi to Kenny and was talking to Danielle and Kenny said: "Oh my God! It's Joanne! You're a . For a second I thought you were a guy... Oh crap." I had a cap on, but most guys don't wear caps (Ethan and Max are VERY special people).
Later on Danielle and I were wandering around, she was looking for a friend of hers, so I went to talk to Kenny and AGAIN he thought I was a guy. I was really pissed, but my mom and Dorise were right there, so I couldn't slap him or anything. And today in Spanish he spelled "pescado" "PISSGATO". It was hilarious.


Today (and yesterday) was SOOOOOOOO hot! I really hated it, because Sydney and I had P. E. right after lunch (grrrrrrrr I really pigball. It sucks, and me being short does NOT help), and, as you guys know, our P. E. uniform is BLACK. I really love cold weather. So much fun. Also, Sydney was on another team, with Chloe...... so I couldn't complain about our being short to her. There were too many tall people on the other team. And there was a BREEZE around 3:00. Only an hour and a half too late.


And I'm kinda annoyed that everyone thinks that Seido and I would be cute together. It's getting really old and did you see him and Joun Young at the end of lunch?! (I know they're not gay, but still.)


This week in swimming we're "going to end our two week taper (here is when you hear everyone starts swearing and saying oh crap), and are going to go really strong, until NCA (or whatever it's called). Next week we're going really mellow, because Sunday around 5:00 we find out people's times." Oh goody goody. Can't wait. And tomorrow's Wednesday, which means that Laura's going to be there. I pray Remy won't.

And I got Tessa to listen to Skillet!!! They're an awesome band, and I think that it's the only Christian band she likes (besides Jennifer Knapp and Jars of Clay, maybe JoC......)

I swear I'm gonna end up killing Rylan before the month is over....

All today we would not SHUT UP about how I should go out with Seido. All period. I wanted to scream, thankfully I don't have any classes with him again until Wednesday when I have Science again. He also started bugging Saskia about how cute she would be with Craig. Ew.

It got to me so much that I took one of the really thin Science textbooks and smacked him over the head with it when Ms. Lamson wasn't looking. It effectively shut up up for a grand total of 2 minutes. I think that's the longest time he hasn't said anything the entire time I've sat at his table. And Saskia was really annoyed by the end of the day, I felt sorry for her, and for me.

In Drama I'm partnered with Rosemary Davies. Yeah, the arm girl, who can't stop waving her arm in the air when she acts. She asked me, and I felt sorry for her. We're doing Knock, Knock. I wanted to do Uncle Vanya, but..... ::sighs:: SOooooooo many people are doing Rainy Day. And Peppermint was being a perv today, sorry Grace.

La la la la la

Yes, Remy is that weird ten year old kid who has a "girlfriend". Apparently he tried to get my friends Holly and Danielle to kiss him the other day; he's psycho. And surprisingly, I am not a member of the I Have Remy Club. I think Laura would join..... if she knew about it, but I don't think that Colin and Peter (the founders) would allow her to join.

Today in Science, Seido and I were talking, and then all of a sudden Rylan screamed out that Seido and I would look cute together. The thought is just SO . And then he convinced Craig that we should go out, and they spent most of the period begging us to go out because we would win "Cutest Couple of the Year" (Besides Lily and Rylan, of course. Rylan said it, not me. I'm just directly quoting him.....). I doubt such a thing exists in AMS. There is "Biggest Flirt" which Rylan would DEFINITELY win.
Then they both proceeded to talk for 20 minutes how much I look like Kristel. Craig earlier in the year would not shut up about how similar our hair is, and now he's started up again. I sit across from Rylan and now I'm beginning to think that he'll never shut up or stop trying to tell me what to do (besides nagging me about Seido and Kristel, he lectured me on how I should date, and that "once you go out with somebody, you start seeing the world differently.") I kid you not. I think there was something wrong with him today.

Besides that, today was an okay day. My back still hurts from when Malia ran into me and hit a bone. In math we got NO TIME to do our homework, so I have to go a do that now. ::Sighs:: We're playing pigball in P.E. and I really tall people now..... The whole wear-your-shirt-backwards "club" is really retarded.

Swim Practice

No SCHOOL TODAY!! It was AWESOME.


Went to practice today. Amanda and George's birthdays were passed recently, so we forced them to jump into the pool and swim a lap. Fully clothed, shoes, jackets, all that sort of jazz (Gator/Gaucho tradition). Amanda, poor girl, hadn't changed into her suit under her clothes before she jumped in, so she had to change back into her soaking clothes after practice. And George.... is annoying. Cal and Jerry said that I didn't have to jump in. =-)

And today George brought three REALLY cute dwarf hamsters (the ECHS biology labs have some, and George volunteered to take care of them for a week, and as Colter said, 'Poor hamsters. Having to put up with George for a week.') And they were soooooooooooooo soft and I held one for a second.

And the grossest part of today was that Remy tried to hit on me. It was really gross and Andrew and Colin said they'd strangle him in the locker rooms. Might a sideaffect of him not taking his medication for a while (I'm joking, of course, but he was a bit off today... jumping up and down, shrieking, screaming illegible things, splashing Holly, Danielle and I more than often.)

Happy Birthday Shing!!!!!!!!

It's Shing's birthday today!!!!!!!! =-] And because she's a day older than me, my birthday's tomorrow! And I can't wait!! Cliffy-diffy (excuse the childish nickname for one of my very favorite uncles) emailed me a pic of Jess. =-D She's so much bigger than last time I saw her. And recovering well, which is totally fabulous, of course. She's happy and healthy. (Jess is Cliff's dog; she had cancer and at one point they were considering amputating one of her legs. Luckily Ciffy's a vet.......)

Track people ran a lap at lunch today. The ironic thing is that I dragged Sydney out there, and she grumbled almost the whole time about how she couldn't eat, and then when we DID eat, she wasn't hungry!! Grr. Then Melissa practically JUMPED me (repetitively) for my water bottle..... she was pretty scary, actually. I'd tickle her, she'd let go, then make a grab for the water bottle again.

NO SCHOOL MONDAY! Yes!!!!!!! So so so so so happy and excited and hyper.....

Listening to Relient K. I really love bed, Give Until There's Nothing Left, Up and Up, and Come Right Out and Say It. Give Until There's Nothing Less and Come Right Out and Say It are my new theme songs.

I finished my Science homework, and I'll probably do the EC Japan crossword...... And we have that pretty stupid poem to translate for Spanish (it's called "The Bellybutton of the Moon". Yeah, it's a pretty stupid title of a poem.

New Layout

Ok, so I know Sydney loves the new layout, but tell me what you think! And I need a better blog title, mine's pretty lame right now.......


Can you believe that Gabe doesn't know what "clique" means?! Grace, Kenny, and I were talking about stuff during Spanish and Gabe was like, "Dude, what are you talking about? Why won't you tell me? Just because you're Asian doesn't mean that you can't tell me. You guys are so racist!"
And I said, "No, we're not racist, we're cliquish."
And then he asked me what a clique was! He had to ask Kristel....


Doing silly outline for Japan Report. And I added tons of new stuff to my blog stuff.... =-) I really like the new layout.


And Scott Westerfeld has a new book coming out soon!!!! And Max Ride 3's coming out soon, and ECLIPSE!!! Not to mention HPDH in July. Summer is such a happy summer [I usually prefer Winter, but this summer is going v.v.v. happy.] Also, I'm signed up for a writing camp this summer @ AMS sponsored by UC Berkeley, for three weeks. I'm so totally excited, cuz I just love to write.... as most of you know.


Hawk Nelson is coming to Modesto on August 28!!!!!!!!!! And my b-day is really very soon. I think I'm becoming more of a Relient K freak now. Their new album came out in March, and I was totally obsessed fifth grade-December of 2006. The song "Forgiven" on the new album is one of their best songs!!!!!

I went to swim practice today, and I was so tired I felt like fainting halfway through. I really didn't feel like swimming today, but there's no practice tomorrow because there's a meet there and I really don't wanna time for them, and Thursday's TAKE YOUR KID TO WORK DAY, so I won't be at school then. It's also Open House, and I actually quite surprised that the teachers have barely mentioned it, in Cornell and last year the teachers were going insane over getting ready for it. Some of them haven't even mentioned it.

Clusty.com is awesome!!!!!

And if any of you know what it is before you go and type the URL into the browser you get 1,000,000 bonus points.

We get DONUTS tomorrow in History/English! Because people in my class voted of donuts instead of pizza, but Ms. Chea wouldn't let us go on a field trip to El Cerrito Plaza... =-( I don't really adore donuts; they're OK, but apparently everybody else in my class save a select few prefer donuts over bagels.

And I know who Grace likes!! =-) And I'm not going to tell, so Grace can stop stressing over anybody finding out. I think Kenny gave her a heart attack when he said he knew (he didn't).

Boooooooorrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeddddddd. I really the Japan Report, it's so annoying. And the Knife Fight is sooo funny. Thank gosh for Clusty.com, it makes researching so much easier.

Modesto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Modesto soon!!!!!!! I am sooooo soooooo soooo sooo soo HYPER right now! And I'm bouncing in the chair and I think I drank too much soda....... Plus it *RAINED* this morning. I *lurve* rain. But it's not raining now. =-[ I also love cold weather........ and windy weather, and snow. That's why I love NZ and Sweden.

Doesn't help that I'm listening to Superchic[k]'s Anthem which is loud and bouncy and loud. I think I packed like, way more clothes than I'll need, I mean, we're going for 4 days, but I've packed at least two more shirts than I need=-). And I keep on thinking that I haven't packed enough. But that's just me. And we might be painting again, so I'll need the other clothes...... I've been racking my brain for ANYTHING that I might need. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Do I need anything else? ::sighs:: I worry too much about things like this.

Now listening to Hero by Superchic[k], and it's really depressing me, which is weird, because I'm still bouncing like crazy and humming random tunes, but I'm still sad.

Easter/Modesto

I wore a pink skirt and jacket-thingy on Easter. Yes, pink. Thank goodness for the white shirt, or else I'd've been ALL pink! ::Shudders:: The outfit was pretty cute (yes, Jenna, I agree with you on that.....) But I was wearing it! Anyways, it was only one day. And a couple million pictures.... ugh. Pictures. Evidence.

And turns out that Cole, Peter, and Jack are going, and possibly Taylor. To Modesto. I'm praying that Abby, not Peter, is the one going, but maybe both. It's not gonna be all that fun if Catherine and those 8th grade guys go. But I guess I'll live. But it'll be FUN. !!

On a HAPPY note, TODAY'S SYDNEY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! Yay!! And mine's in 18 days. So I'm really happy and bouncy. But I have to go to swimming, and that's not very fun. Because I don't think Holly or Laura is going........ Wait! It's BREAK! Yay. So maybe Laura'll be there. And I need to talk to Colin about Remy's "girlfriend".

And I got Presidental!! Pretty surprised I made it on the Shuttle Run and Push-Ups. I hate push ups. Really really hate hate hate hate them.

MODESTO!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Yay!! Minimum day tomorrow, we get out at 12:30! Yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!! I'm slightly hyper right now (I ate too much red bell pepper). Can't wait for MODESTO! =-D SO so so so so so happy!!! And I'm listening to Krystal Meyers, which might be contributing to the hyperness. Wiat ---------------- Friday's GOOD FRIDAY! But I really don't see how it's GOOD. Well, then again I can.


So, anyways, here's who is going to Modesto [that I know of, or am pretty certain]:


Jennabennabear


Lucy


Lesly (duh duh duh)


Joanne (duh)


Larissa (she better go, it wouldn't be fun w/o her)


Mat Grover (again, duh)
Amy Grover (not sure)


Noelle (possibly)


Liam :-|


Lexie


Bailey


Rachel L (sadly, most likely)


Catherine R-T (praying she won't, can't see the working)


Hmm.......who else??!


Maybe Sam L will go...... eeeeeewwwwwwwww. Nope not.


Cole (no no no no please no!!!)


Peter (not likely, probably off in Costa Rica like last year...)


Taylor (if he isn't off in Costa Rica w/ Peter, his family's into that sort of thing [his dad is, at least])


Grace-- nooooo!!!!!! No no no no no no no! They must NOT allow it!! The ty bimbo( even though she's not , and she picked a really shade of red-orange to dye her hair. It's just-- ::shudders:: Ew. She won't do ANYTHING, she'll just sit and flirt all day. Ugh. )


Alexis (hopefully =-) )


Embrys [both] (them, Liam, Sam, and hammers. Oh no. ::groans and prays it will not happen::)

And some other leaders and people. La la la la la.


On another note......


EASTER IS THIS SUNDAY!!!!!!! Yay yay. Like, the only time in the year I wear a dress. My dress this year is PRETTY. (yeah, I know, Joanne's gonna wear a dress OMG) Actually, I do occasionally wear dresses, to weddings and stuff...... I think last year I wore a skirt, yeah. I did.


Right now I'm typing my story for Science. It's pretty cool, actually. The main character's name is Potizo (Greek for water.....he's a water molecule). Potizo is just such a fun name, I should actually put that in the name suggestion box or Ms. Keopp's baby. Or not.


Gotta redo Shuttle Run w/ Sydney and Rachel WW tomorrow. Fun.

La!

Yes, everyone, I know I'm a total HN freak, but they're awesome! And their new single is on iTunes. =-) Yay.

But oh gosh, we watch WAY too many boring videos in Health that show the same footage. It's boring and annoying. And I really hate Fitness Testing. It's annoying, and Mr. Gann made me stop doing curl-ups because I was on 70 and it was enough. We never got weighed and measured.... Love Barlowgirl too, and Tobymac. Been listening to them way too much lately.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! The MMT (Modesto Mission Trip) is coming up and it's gonna be SO MUCH FUN!! And I hope we get to tear down more houses this time. =-D But alas, Catherine is going too. Fun. Fun. Gonna be so much fun (more if she wasn't going). Yes, I know it's mean, but I just can't imagine the girl actually WORKING and HELPING PEOPLE, or doing anything productive. And she's way too clingy, and failing all her classes in school... and whines about soccer.

Oh my -- we have WAY too much work this week! I can't procrastinate! We have that poster for math; Create a Creature, but I did a lot of the work in class today; had a test yesterday, and had a math test/quiz today, and something else..... oh yes. That Character Kimono. Too much work.

Zero

Listening to Zero by Hawk Nelson and it's making me CRY!! =-( It's such a good song, but it's SO sad.

Remy Clarification

Ok, so someone *coughtessacough* wasn't exactly sure who Remy was, so, in case anybody else was wondering......
Remy's on my swim team. He's ten, and has a "girlfriend" he's never met. I'm like, .5 o an inch taller than him. Less than that, actually. Kinda sad, huh? And he's going to JO. It's not fair!! Like me, he's a backstroker. Oh yea! Backstroke is the best stroke there it. NOT troke, Laura!! =-]
So anyways, Remy IS NOT Remus Lupin. But they do have the same initals......and it is common in FF for Remus' nickname, not including Moony, is Remy/Remmy.

Letter to the President

Remy has a girlfriend! =-) Isn't that cute? Not.
They met online. Remy's TEN (and claims the person is 12.5). Colin thinks it's a teenager "laughing off his ass at him(Remy)" (direct quote) And I think it's a 15 year old poof. Then again, it could really be a girl. A really desperate girl.

I really really really really really wanna redo the Shuttle Run! Because I didn't really try the first time and I was off my three tenths of a second. Poor Sydney. She was .1 of a second off. =-[ And we have the Sit-and-Reach tomorrow. Should be fun. =-] It's soooooooo easy.

HAWK NELSON!!!!!!!!!!!

Been listening to Hawk Nelson, but now I'm listening to Headlock.... I really wanna buy Joy Williams' Genesis, but I CAN'T! Because I have to order it online, and my parents won't let me use their credit cards. =-[

Now listening to Goodnight and Go. Imogen has really pretty hairstyles in all the music videos, and her website is cool. You get me every time. Why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you..... It's bad we get along so well. Say goodnight and go.

Grace drew an awesome squirrel, and the little playing the violin is so CUTE!

Read Fly by Night, and I loved it! I look forward to any other books by Frances H- something. She really needs to write a sequel! But somehow I doubt that'll ever happen. Dang it, you Mugglenet people! You really need to update! And somebody needs to return Uglies by Scott Westerfeld to the AMS library so I can read it.

not really sure why i'm happy, yet, i am

This is a pretty sad thing to be happy about, and I'm ashamed to admit that I'm happy about it, but Daniel Kelly might be expelled! =-[ But I feel really bad that I'm happy, because this isn't the sort of thing to get all happy about.....

Music at Noon

Still kinda upset at Nir. Because of the whole WT thing. And Zoli really pissed me off today, but he usually does, so....

Grrr. Still pretty mad at Mr. Gann. He made us run a perimeter because SHAN WAS CRYING AND WE WERE SEEING IF SHE WAS OK!!!!!!! ::grumbles angrily::

And Peter keeps on calling me Rosemary. ::rollseyes:: At least he remembers my name 99% of the time. I mean, I've been at his table in Core and Science how many times?? {a lot}

Listening to Imogen Heap. LOVE "Headlock"!!! Except the music video's a bit weird.

Peter is NOT silverkiwis~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He said he was today!!!! I don't even know how he found out, but it's totally NOT cool. Even though in general Peter isn't that bad. SWIM PRACTICE!!!

Kenny is EMO?!

Well, I'm not really sure that he's emo. He said he was. ::rolls eyes:: What Sydnie said was mean.........but he'll get over it eventually. Just like he got over Jennifer.

Anyways..... Alice, THE COLOR IS NOT WEIRD!!!!!!!!!! It's just GREEN! I love green. More than you love purple, anways.
And Sydney, why freak out over Picture Day? It's annoying, but not that bad.

Alice's veil was pretty today, but kinda long. And Kristen stabbed her with a sewing pin twice!! =-] Right after she said that she'd never hurt Alice.

Grr, must go off to swim practice soon. And HOLLY REALLY NEEDS TO ASK COLIN OUT! She said she would, like, two weeks ago. Laura and I've been working on it, but she's chickening out. Library's been closed SO OFTEN lately it's making me mad.

Grace's blog background is PRETTY. And that reminds me, I still have to do Comidas and Postres for my menu. Crap. Ari is annoying. All Tuesday he was yelling in my ears about how he's Chinese......... HE'S NOT!!!!!!!!
I am, though. And so is Grace, so it ed me off A LOT. Now Ari says he's going to dress up as a Chinese guy for Culture Day.

I posters. And we have to do a poster in MATH. Posters are intimidating.

SPRING PICTURES!!!!!

I HATE HAVING MY PICTURE TAKEN! It's evil!!! But it is better than swim team pictures. ::shakes head:: Those are the WORST. Poses are UNNATURAL. ::sighs:: Please excuse the ranting...... Getting my picture taken scares me.

And I have FLAWED DESIGN by Stabilo on a YouTube LOOP. I totally love this song, but I'm pretty sure that it's gonna be stuck in my head all tomorrow. I'll just remedy that with a bit of Superchic[k] in the morning, and then I'll have THAT stuck in my head all tomorrow. Well, must go to bed now.
