Four days remain! Boooya!

Mary might have a date for homecoming. Yes this is a year of many firsts....

I'm listening to Damien Rice. Everyone should!

Giving blood tomorrow! Wahoo!

My breaks!

FIVE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm tired and my head hurts. I have stupid History homeowork to do. Poopie. My favorite book is any that I don't have to read for school.

Sarah I think we should have a Jackass party.

Nate you did not run for homecoming court. I don't believe you

I wish people could read my mind. It would be so much easier. Everyone would know exactly what I feel and would know when I lie. See I told everyone that I was Ok today. But I wasn't. I just...act so different from the way I feel on the inside. I hate my surroundings and I want out more than ever. I have no reason to go to school other than I have to. I have nothing to look forword to besides graduation. (And Katja. But that doesn't count!)

I hate procrastination. I have an AP Psych test tomorrow. I haven't studied or read the chapter or anything. I don't know why I take AP classes. Maybe it's cuz Pete did and I'm still in competition with him even though he's left high school.

Rachel are you still coming home tomorrow? I've been really excited all week...

Katja will be on American soil in a mere 11 days! My head might explode! Who is Katja? you ask. Well. She is my German partner from GAPP (German American Partnership Program) She and 26 others are coming to stay for two weeks (then they get to go to NYC) Katja wants to go to homecoming, so I will take her. It's fine I guess. Anyway I am really looking forword to it. Plus we are taking her to Chicago for a weekend to see all the museums and fun stuff!! Yay! I just hope my dad doesn't try to talk to her in german because the only phrase he knows is "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" Which means: "Do you speak German?" Of course she speaks German! She is German! I try to correct his German when he tries to speak it but it doesn't always work. He thinks cuz he's been there, he's an expert. I laugh a lot.
Speaking of homecoming - I'm running for court. That's right. I'm running for court. Jenny Stone and I nominated each other today. Jenny says if she is elected queen she will go in drag. I think it will be really funny if I'm elected to court. Haha ha ha hah!
Got 8.5 on my introductions for Mr. B. Not bad. Still not happy, but he had reason to.
So I really like having a stay at home mom. Mom is always there when I get home. We watch Jeopardy together and talk about our days. So interesting.

Katja is coming two weeks from tomorrow! I am so very excited!

Petey's roommates are getting a cat. They are naming it Cali, after the Colombian drug cartel. (Just kidding.) I will play with it when I visit in October!

I can't be helicase for Halloween because I am going to be Inigo Montoya!

Ladies and gentlemen, the new Saves the Day CD is....kinda sucky. You see, the singer used to SING the songs. Now he justs sings them. Get it?

I am so mad at Mr. Buchholz!!!!!!!!!!
He grades on a 9 point scale - 9 being the best grade right? We have these introductions to questions we have to turn in for every unit that he assigns right? So I worked really hard on Chapter 4 turn in KICK ASS intros - he writes on my paper that my intros are worth a 9 but he doesn't want to give me one because it's too early in the year and he doesn't want it to go to my head.
THE FUCK?

The End.

I loooooooooooove Biotechnology. I love Biotech so much I want to be helicase for halloween.
Booya!

I miss: Allison, Rachel, Bekah. (Maybe Nate)

Three words: boys are stupid

Wowie! A glorius new school year has started! I am a senior! I am cock of the walk! Yay!

Here are my classes in review:
Eagle Band: Poop on a stick! I sit and contemplate suicide because I am better at my instrument (at least playing pep tunes I am) and I know it.
AP Psychology: Enough with the touchy feely shit! I wanna learn!
AP Lit and Comp: I wanna read books! Not talk about literary terms!
Biotechnology: My favorite
Philosophy: Interesting but it still doesn't meet my standards of learning
German 4: How gives an oral test on the second day of school? Don't answer that question....
AP US History: Hell on Earth. I don't want a class with freshmen please.

I'm sure it's no big surprise to you that your
romance is The Princess Bride. A heartwarming
tale of "Twue Wuve" that has giants,
Spainards and swashbuckling. You really do
think that love can overcome anything. You may
be a touch naive but your heart is certainly in
the right place. You've probably got one of
those relationships where proper nouns have
been replaced with "Snookums" and
"Pookie Pie". Eww. Beware a cuteness
overload.


What Romance Movie Best Represents Your Love Life?

HOT SHIT!

Man, a week from today school starts. Except I have to go back on tuseday to be nice to freshies.
Man.
So I found out who my flock of freshmen shall be. No one I know. There must still be hope to train them as ninjas.
Man! I'm gonna be a senior! Wowie! It's not every senior who gets to touch up her own senior portraits. I have a chipped tooth that will look nasty as an 8x10. I'm gonna fix it. It's only chipped cuz the bonding stuff they stuck to it is starting to deteriorate. That's so not cool.

Blah.

My nose is stuffed. I better not be getting a cold. Goddamn alergies.

I miss you Sarah P!

Is consuming alcohol at your boss's house in front of your boss a bad thing?


SO MAD it's not even funny. My head might EXPLODE

I can't believe summer is almost over. The end of August reminds me of water going down the drain in a bathtub. It's all slipping away from me. Allison, Tony, and Rachel are leaving and I won't see them even half as much as I used to. That is what happens when all your friends are (were) upperclassmen. I had a thought: Am I starting to grow up? Does turning 18 all of a sudden start a new chapter in your life?
Oh enoguh of this melancholy shit.
I can't wait to be a senior. Cuz that means I'm cock of the high school walk. All you weirdies out there are saying, "She's still in high school!" Oh I know you are cuz I get it all the time. Getting out of high school means going to college. I can't wait for that. I get to learn new things and meet new people.
God just shut up.

Fight Club!


What movie Do you Belong in?(many different outcomes!)
brought to you by Quizilla

The day from hell.
No I'm serious.
First I can't sleep. Then I go to work and all the fucking day staffers leave early. Buh bye. Then Three out of four working machines break down. Meaning we can develop film but not print it.

But I'm listening to U2 so all is good.

Dear fucking god.
Also - this one is for you, Blake. Maybe you've already seen it?

It's 5:30 AM. I've been up since 3:52AM. Why the fuck can't I sleep? I moved to the couch in the basement because I thought maybe a strange place might make me fall asleep (it usually does) but it didn't. So here I am.
Today is a big day. Today, I have to ask my boss for a college recommendation. I'll be at work anyway for most of my waking hours. Or least I would've been had I been able to sleep! Anyway, since I work in a photo lab and RIT is a really career focused college, I thought it might make sense for Bill (that's my boss. How cool is it that I can call my boss by his first name?) to write me a recommendation. That is, if he thinks I deserve one. In my opinion I do. I am honest and hard working. I think.
I'm also excited. For other things. My brother is going back to school tomorrow. He is moving into his house. This means he won't be home very often or for very long at a time. What makes me really happy is that I haven't had to buy one full tank of gas at all this summer. He's been using the car so much that I don't bother. I just trick him by putting in a little itty bitty amount.
So that power outage is really crazy. You know what? I don't give a shit. Nope. Yeah it's interesting and at most amusing, but it reminds me of when the eastern seaboard gets lots of snow or is having a really cold spell. It makes the national news. But if it happens in the midwest....no gives a hoot. Not like I care, nothing interesting ever happens here.
Funny. I hate snow yet I want to go to RIT. They got 140 inches of snow last winter. Yay! Luckily there are tunnels underneath the school. I would never have to go outside all winter! How lucky.
I hope you all noticed the notice on Sarah P's blog. We need to find that kitty a home. Unless she did already and didn't tell me.
This is quite possibly the longest post I've written all summer. Crazy!

Tori never fails to amaze me.
Wowie! The concert was awesome! Tori even played "Purple Rain"! and Ben played "Chopsticks" (by Liz Phair). Wowie!

I haven't been putting much in this thing cuz I haven't been doing anything exciting or interesting. Here is what my day consists of:
6:30 or 7:00 AM: Be rudely awakened by brother and father yelling at each other on the stairs
9:30 or 10AM: Get up, realize you are alone in house, eat breakfast, watch two reruns of ER in a row.
11:30 or Noon: Shower, get dressed, sift through the mess in room looking for clean underwear
12:30PM: Lunch?
1 to 2PM: Watch Futurama and Family Guy reruns.
2 to 3PM: Check webcomics, email, and play computer solitare.
3 to 3:30PM: Watch Extended Play while waiting for brother to call for a ride home from work.
3:??PM: Pick up brother.
3:45PM: Get dressed for work.
3:50PM: Leave for work.
3:55PM: Arrive at work.
4 to 9PM: Work.
9:15PM: Home.
11PM or Midnight: Bedtime.

You see? Nothing to write about. The thing I have to look forword to this week is the Tori Amos/Ben Folds concert I'm going to on saturday.
I want to shoot myself.
I want a nap.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I am so back. Back from RIT that is. See, I went there for a visit and to go to this college and careers exploration thing.
It was glorius! I love RIT. Love it! So yeah....if the gods of the admissions office smile down on me...I'll get in.

I'm working tonight. Working so hard for the money. Probably till 4AM. Maybe later. I hope to break this summer's record.

Sarah and Greg aren't boring, it's just that I was tired. OK?
Had a great time in St Paul yesterday. Wheee. I laughed a lot. And got the hiccups.
I had so much to say. Then I forgot. Now I can't remember.

I'm so tired I might go to bed early tonight.
Last night I fell asleep in the car on the way home because Sarah and Greg were talking about boring things. I don't think they noticed. When I woke up, the convo was still boring. I wish I could be as well read as those two.
But we are going again tomorrow! I cannot wait! The zoo! Twice in one week! Como Zoo not Minnesota. That place (MN zoo) bites my ass. You can really smell the exotic animal shit at the Como Zoo.
I'm listening to Ben Fold's right now and it reminds me that I'll be going to see him in less then a month. With Tori, too no less!
Ugggh. My head hurts. I'm mad at my brother cuz he punched me in the stomach really hard for touching his Metallica tickets. A waste of money I say.
I wish I could wax intellectual about something. I don't even know as much about cameras as I think I do.
And bisexual porn! We couldn't pull those boys away from it!
