right. yesterday at lunch, i was happily eating my salad when i looked up and for some reason, danielle and berlin boy were trying to stuff granola bars in taberis' ears... i almost died because i started choking >< that lunch period was very amusing...
today was fun too, meg harassed me about how i dont talk, and i was just like, "d00d, i dont normally talk. that's danielle. i eat at lunch." but it was very amusing, because berlin boy and meg kept putting pretzels on their noses, and taberis wore lettuce on his head... i eventually ended up semi-joining the insanity by putting a spoon on my nose... it was hard though, because the cafeteria spoons suck for that. i was so happy when i finally got it to stay, though ^.^
guess i'm just very easily amused.
still cant play piano or guitar, but i can type... i dont have to stretch my fingers too much for that. but man, this sucks! i can't do anything i normally do! my creativity begins to seep out of my brain when i dont get to play my instruments. well, i guess i'll just have to spend the entire afternoon/evening making a new layout... >:}

getting promoted to green belt next thursday ^.^
jason, you suck for taking my paper. get me more.
wow. that was easy. of course, not nearly as amusing.. i worked hard tying in lots of funny comments for the original entry... grr... stupid internet explorer...

You're Siddhartha!
by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try
anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent
some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in.
This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's
time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in
ferries.

i went to gettysburg today for my interview... it went really well. instead of asking me a lot of hard questions, the guy was more like, "well, if you don't get in, i'm quitting, because you've done everything perfectly." and he basically just told me what classes i should take in the fall and stuff. so it was cool. i'll officially hear from them in about 3 weeks, and they'll send me scholarship info then, too. cant wait ^_^
but then... i got home... and jason did SOMETHING to my computer that killed it......... he hooked up my old moniter (ok, if i WANTED that done, i would have done that myself!) and then i fixed that to normal and started it up again and it WOULDNT WORK RIGHT... it just kept going into safe mode, and i was like, "wtf. when jason gets home, he's going to get a massive beating. i think i'll practice my kicks before karate tonight..." so just a note to anyone who ever wants to use my computer...
dont
touch
ANYTHING
or i there is a high probability that you will not live. if i'm in a good mood, you might get off with a small punch or something, but if i'm tired/hungry/angry, i wont tolerate it.
there. all done. now i need food before my stomach implodes.

XD they're really good, and they write their own songs and... i was just like *_* wow. it was fun. they did some recording for a demo cd.. i'm sure they'll get some gigs. i cant wait to see them play in a real place!

so, i started the girl's guide to hunting and fishing today.
so, i finished the girl's guide to hunting and fishing today. it was really good. maybe it would have been better if i had spread it out over more than a 6 1/2 hour period (and spent some of that time working on a research paper due thursday/friday that i havent even read my story for yet), but it was still good. and i still havent figured out where that random part in the middle came from ><
and so i think it's time for bed. i seriously need to work on my paper, but its just not getting done. these days are going too fast.
°09:59 p.m.°
°Monday, February 16, 2004°
omg, today was so fun! XD well, ok, this morning was kinda normal... did some filing for my dad (which took twice as long as it should have because once i did it we realized that it should have been completely different, so i had to reorganize everything -_-;) and then we went out to the auction for a bit, didnt get anything though.
after we came home, i went to pick up kyle and we drove out to borders. it was great XD we saw taberis there, and so after we picked out our books, we all sat down in the cafe and talked for like, an hour and a half. we probably would have stayed there a lot longer had i not had to take everyone home so i could eat and go to karate ^_^; i got the soundtrack for "once upon a time in mexico" (and its awesome XD i love "siente mi amor"!), the girl's guide to hunting and fishing, Jung on Christianity, and a collection of stories from 1001 arabian nights.
i got a sweatshirt, too, but that wasnt at borders. that was at kyle's. it shrunk in the wash, and it fits me perfectly ^_^ plus it smells like him. i think i'll wear it tomorrow. heehee. guy sweatshirts are awesome. i need to pilfer some more.
::listens:: d00d, the cat must be going crazy in jason's room. or maybe its the snake trying to bite its way out of a glass cage. anyway, its weird.
time to work on nate's picture a bit! ^_^

new york was great.... so tired though =_=
actually bought stuff! and i have money left over! i know, its weird.... i got a hat and scarf (it was really cold. street vendors are smart.), a really cool swatch watch (i love that store XD), and some OTR.
saturday night we went to this cool japanese place for dinner. it was so fun ^.^ i got a bento box, and it had so much food @_@ and then i had mochi for dessert.... my new favorite thing. and i got a great view of the sushi chefs, and everyone else in the place >:} i made a new friend, too, but i didnt actually get to talk to him. :(
anyway, it was good. definitely need to go back when its not so cold, and then i can go shopping on a day when not all the stores are closed -_-;
i think its time to actually eat something.

°Friday, February 13, 2004°
ahh, last night was so fun! went to the jade garden with danielle, reuben, taberis, meg, alex, and andy. it was so yummy *_* and i had fun hanging out with everyone. we got done at about 9... meg and andy went home, and alex had to leave too, so the rest of us just went back to my house and fell asleep. ^_^;; well, at least i did. we started out on the couch up here, and then we moved downstairs and watched toonami and i fell asleep on taberis. he was warm. danielle stole my blanket. ;_;
around 1 (we thought it was 2), reuben and tabby cat left, and danielle and i got ready for bed, watched food network a bit, and then went to sleep. danielle woke me up this morning, and we went upstairs to get food, and ahh! surprise! danielle got me a valentine's day present!! ^.^ i felt so loved! i got a rose and chocolate heart-shaped muffins and hyde's shallow sleep cd!!! XD its so awesome, and so pretty! now i have an explanation for why danielle was singing that song all week when she doesnt ever listen to hyde... ^.^ so i'm really happy. i gave danielle lots of hugs. it was fun ^_^
now i'm working on my sketch again.... i drew a pic of the guy, and its cool, but i cant draw his face that small. so i'm drawing a co-pic of just his head ^_^;; i mean, i really wanna try the expression thats in my head. (btw, this is a pic based on nate's poem that he sent me)
and my brother is talking to me on AIM, whining about how he wants food and asking me to make stuff for him. i mean, really. he's across the room. geez.
°10:23 a.m.°
°Thursday, February 12, 2004°
omg. danielle made me a macaroni card and meg made me an l337 valentine. XD i less than three you guys!
i got ambushed trying to leave school today. people see food and they're like, "*pounce* can i have some?" except they didnt ask. it was more like, "ah! those look so good! ::takes food:: thanks! ::shoves food in mouth::" while i'm just there like, "....." ^_^; at least they were enjoyed.
tonight i'm going out to the jade garden with some people. makes me feel like i have friends ^.^ ~excited!!
ahhh... life is good.
°03:32 p.m.°
°Wednesday, February 11, 2004°
i made valentine's day cupcakes ^.^ they're really yummy. i tried making a few heart-shaped, like in my kraft foods magazine... but... it failed. they just looked mutilated. so i had to eat them. well, some. i gave one to my dad and there's still one up there. but at least i have plenty for physics! XD
had to go to the grocery store to get butter... old ladies kept looking at me like i was a lost child. ¬_¬ ok, i'm sorry, but i havent been to that grocery store in a while, and at the other giant, the butter is down by the eggs. i was a bit disoriented.
strange... i've been really hungry lately, but i havent been able to eat as much. >< its annoying. its like my stomach wants a small, constant food supply, not an entire day's worth of food split up into 3 (or 4) meals like i normally do. baka bauch.
another valentine's day coming up. i'm kinda glad now that i wont be at home. :|

and, because i didnt mention it yesterday (thank you danielle for pointing this out), taberis put bologna on his head at lunch ^_^ it was very amusing.
went on a walk with my mom today and had a really good talk with her. it was fun.
and i've noticed that i've stopped giving so many details.... shorter paragraphs... oh well. prolly just cuz i have nothing to say.

baka carrie. you know i have to do these things.
THE PERFECT GUY
Hair color: depends on the guy, but i tend to prefer lighter hair.
Eye color: any, as long as they're not cold..
Height: taller than me (which isnt hard) but i wouldn't want to be below his shoulder.
Six pack: abs are hot, but they dont have to be incredibly defined.
Long or short hair: NO MULLETS.
Glasses: doesnt make a difference

Would he play with your hair: yes ^.^

omg!! this weekend was amazing!! we had so much fun... way too much to try to put here. i took lots of pictures, so when i get those developed, i'll put up the best ones.
i got to go to the emergency room!!! see, i was going down this black diamond at camelback, and it was this really icy part, and a snowboarder couldnt go down, so he ran into me and we both fell off to the side, but i hit this tree and---
just kidding, guys. i wish it was something fun like that. actually, i was going up the lift getting ready for my second run down the mountain, and i put my goggles on... but there was this dirt or something in them, and it got in my eye! so i was trying not to rub it, and hoping it would come out, but it didnt, and it really hurt... so i got off the lift at the top and stood there for a while talking with steph, katie, and mrs. farrell, and then i decided that i could ski down and then i'd go to first aid... so i went down holding my one hand over my eye and trying not to run into anyone or hit huge bumps because of my complete lack of binocular cues. it was fun. then i got to sit around for 5 hours until we decided it wasnt getting better and mrs. farrell drove me to the emergency room. first time i was there... we went to the one in east stroudsburg (pocono general), and it was really nice! it was all new and didnt smell like hospital, and there was barely anyone there. so anyway, the doctor came over and checked out my eye... he found some stuff in it, even though the people at the first aid place said there was nothing in it >:O and he got it out for me and tested to make sure my eye wasnt dead, but everything was ok, so we left.
i got an orange bracelet with my name and bday on it. its hot. -_^
yeah. it was so fun! the place we stayed in was awesome, and saturday it was snowing, and the guys washed all the dishes.... haha, i feel bad though, because steph and mrs. farrell were the only adults. kevin was supposed to drive up on friday later, but he got lost. ("THERE IS NO ROUTE 380!!!" "You're supposed to be on 80 East!") then there was the continual joke with me about people coming to kill us from the woods... they were so mean ;_; and the worst part is, they were going to play a joke on me at dinner and have phil go outside to the balcony, and have us eating, and then just be like, "OMG JENNY THERE'S SOMEONE BEHIND YOU!" and i'd turn around and phil would be outside in the dark and i'd start screaming.... but luckily they didnt do. decided i had gone through enough that day with my eye. @_@ Gott sei dank!
mmmm.... this post is pretty long now. i'm gonna go check everyone else's blogs and catch up on their weekends. way to not be home so i can call you, danielle! >:O
°04:41 p.m.°
°Friday, February 6, 2004°
leaving for the ski trip tonight! XD i can't wait! i just hope its not raining up there.... >< that would suck massively. i'd have to cry.

i guess in the meantime i should do more laundry and pack for this weekend... ^.^ see ya sunday!

the cake was actually really good this time. i had to have seconds. ^____^ and the chicken parm turned out well too... surprising, because i had no clue how to make it, so i just put some stuff together....
so um, i dunno. talked to pat in study hall (actually, more like listened and thought a lot) (and stop rolling your eyes), and i can really see where he's coming from... i mean really. he's a really good person... you can tell how much he cares... and it just makes me feel so horrible to know that he's hurting so much inside. and i dont really feel like there's anything i can do... :-
skiing this weekend!!! i so can not wait. ^.^ <- giddy

"Even in the deep bush, where you could die any number of ways, the war was nakedly and aggressively boring. But it was a strange boredom. It was boredom with a twist, the kind of boredom that caused stomach disorders. You'd be sitting at the top of a high hill, the flat paddles stretching out below, and the day would be calm and hot and utterly vacant, and you'd feel the boredom dripping inside you like a leaky faucet, except it wasn't water, it was a sort of acid, and with each little droplet you'd feel the stuff eating away at important organs. You'd try to relax. You'd uncurl your fists and let your thoughts go. Well, you'd think, this isn't so bad. And right then you'd hear gunfire behind you and your nuts would fly up into your throat and you'd be squealing pig squeals. That kind of boredom."
haha, that's from The Things They Carried (Tim O'Brien). i found that paragraph extremely amusing...
well, making my mom's birthday cake was certainly an experience. haha, today in general was an experience. ^_^; anyway, the cake turned out horribly.... i knew it was all going downhill when i tried to catch an egg between my knee and a cabinet door. i realized my mistake as i felt the moisture of the yolk seeping into my pants. -_-; and then i forgot to do a whole bunch of stuff and i hoped that it would work, but it didnt. i think i'm gonna stick to the mix. its too hard for me to mess that up.
physics lab today was incredibly amusing. john and i were ganging up on jason, and it was really fun. then there's jason and his graph..... heeheehee..
anyway... my mom's bday is tomorrow, and i need to do a card thing.

 What's Your One Piece Doujinshi Personality? brought to you by Quizilla
Analysis:
You tend to keep things simple. Food, friends, and fun, the best things in life, are always what you seek. The line between right and wrong is very clear for you and you are quick to point out when a person has wronged another. Your sense of justice is strong and therefore you need to be with people who you can respect as "good people". You can't be bothered to have a relationship with someone you can't look up to. This is awesome. You are friendly to everyone, and open, but you choose your companions very carefully, and once you have chosen them, you give your heart to them.
Friendship and love are one and the same to you, inseperable feelings you naturally have for one whom you have admitted into your trust. You don't wait for loved ones to extend shows of devotion to you, you are the one who demonstrates time and again, that you will be there for them. But because of your simple nature, you're not one to burden them with love confessions and such. You will wait until they do so first, and then you'll let out the love that you've had for them all along.
A caution: As doujinshi Luffy, you may exhibit outbursts or strange behavior, including but not limited to, spontaneous hugging or kissing of your companions, fits of childish possessiveness, sudden girlishness, blushing, innuendos having to do with eating or references to rubber, pouting and petulance, and overly innocent ways pertaining to bathing and sleeping which may lead to the development of Rorikon in Zoro-types and/or Shanks-types if gone unchecked. Please use caution and stick close to a Nami-type and out of the water. Thank you.
You are most compatible with: A Zoro-type also takes love very seriously and would compliment your easygoing nature well. A Nami-type could really use having a person like you in their life as well, and will find your attitude and beliefs refreshing.
Advice: Take a little vacation with someone you love. And give more hugs, your hugs are great.

wtf. i swear, css is the most unreliable code ever. sometimes it decides to work, sometimes it doesnt. *sigh* i need to figure out what i'm doing wrong, and how it magically changed.
book's going good, but i'm getting a research paper assignment and another book in english tomorrow, so it'll probably be slow going after this. i'm not actually reading it cover to cover, i'm just going through and finding sections that interest me and reading those. and besides, i already have a waiting list @_@
people look at me weird when i read it though, like, "wtf are you doing with a 600-page book about religious texts?" and i'm just like, "its 627 pages and i like it."
yes, i am a complete dork. :|

the butterfly effect was soo good!!! when we were driving to borders, taberis and i kept discussing if the stuff in the movie actually worked or not, and we decided that hey, it actually did work, and the person who came up with everything must have been good. at least, that was my conclusion.
got a good book on religion at borders. should be really interesting, and i have to finish it as fast as possible so i can give it to taberis to read @_@ i think all that information will make my head explode if i read it too quickly, though. i also wanted to get the girl's guide to hunting and fishing (recommended by my awesome physics teacher) and Jung on Christianity (which i just found and thought would be really good), but i didnt have enough money.
talking to zach and a whole bunch of disturbing images from the movie just came back X_X

See all without looking,
Do all without doing.

so, i've been telling my dad for a few days that i dont have any gas left, and he always starts up the car in the morning, so he checks to see how much i have left, and then he's like, "you should be fine." so today after school i'm like, "hey dad, i dont have any gas left." and he's just like, "why didnt you get some?" me: "because i have no money right now and you said you've give me some when i needed to get gas." dad: "fine, we'll leave 15 minutes early so i can get gas for you tonight."
at 6:45, we leave, get out to the car, and i turn it on, and he starts spazzing out about how i let the gas get so low, and how i have to be more responsible, and blah blah blah, and i calmly reminded him that i've been telling him every day that i'm getting lower, and he sees the gauge in the morning, so he should know too. then he was like, "you have a bank account with money in it, why didnt you go to the bank and get money and get gas?" to which i said "when i started driving, you and mom told me that you'd pay for all my gas. i've been asking you for money since saturday and you said i didnt need any." and he's all like, "blah blah blah i dont like it when you argue with me!" and i was just thinking, "no, you just dont like it when i actually have a good point. i'm not arguing. i'm defending my position."
but really, i could have gone to the bank and then to the gas station. however, he has seen my gas gauge every morning and has repeatedly told me that i "should be fine for today."
it just makes me mad when he spazzes out at me for something that i've pointed out repeatedly and he's reassured me that its not a big deal. -_-;
karate was fun. tj was wearing glasses, so i had to make fun of him. of course, all of my jokes became moot when i asked him what time it was because i couldnt see that far. ^_^;
time to do phsyics and pray for my computer to be healed. ::prepares offerings for computer-god::

"Even through all the Gothic elements of Frankenstein, many Romantic characteristics also rear their ugly, boring head."
"His excursions in Switzerland, Germany, and England replenish his soul and help pull him out of the depression Victor so often finds himself wallowing in."

finished my pic, i think. i like it. for now.

so.... today was good. thing's are kinda normal again... as in, i'm not insanely giddy, but i'm on the happier side of neutral. old arguments have resurfaced... ah, it feels nice to be dealing with the same old problems. but then again, i keep thinking that we should be past this by now...
today is nate's birthday. happy birthday nate! ^_^
i think... that i want to draw that picture. i also think that when i get some money, i'm going to go to ac moore and buy one of those wooden people. that would make it so much easier to make body positions look normal. trying to figure that kind of stuff out takes up way too much of my drawing time x_x
i also think that i want to go see the butterfly effect sometime this weekend. maybe.

so i did a lot of thinking today.
ok, so, this afternoon it wasnt really a good thing. i was getting pretty depressed. part of me was all like, "bah! everything sucks! nothing i do ever matters to anyone... its not like my life really makes a difference." and then there's the other part, which kept reminding me of how awesome it was saturday just hanging out with my best friend and driving around and driving her insane with my giddiness over how beautiful the world was and how great life is... how much i've laughed today, how i have so much fun with life sometimes...
thing is, each time this happens, i have to make a conscious decision to either be sad or be happy. and every time so far, i've been depressed, but not enough to ignore the fact that if i choose to be sad, thats the last choice i'll be able to make. then the next time, i'll keep choosing depression. and wow, that would suck massively.
so i was talking to jon about it, and by actually discussing the situation with someone who had a good idea of what i was going through, i started to feel a lot better. ^_^
i think tomorrow, if we have off, i'm gonna try to convince my dad to let me spend an hour or so in the park so i can just kinda... commune with nature. and i'll take my sketchbook. even if i dont find anything good to draw (or if i find that everything is too good to be mutilated by my mortal skills), i think it'll make me feel a lot better. and no, sitting outside in my backyard just won't have the same effect. :P
ah... this is nice. i feel content. i feel so... ready. for anything. because hey, if i make a mistake once in a while, what does it matter? -_^

"btw, I have some questions for other people...
Malice Mizer co-worked on Castlevania on its original soundtrack. Does somebody
know which song or melody was used?"
somehow.. i'm not surprised. when i first heard music from castlevania, i was like, "wow, that sounds like malice mizer! XD" because that was the only band i had heard that sounded so gothic.. but it's pretty cool, i think. MM is awesome, and so is Castlevania. ^___^
i really hope we dont have school tomorrow. i wouldnt mind it that much, i just want snow so i can go outside and build a snowman ;_;
right now i'm also hoping that my mom didnt notice that the scholarship thing wasnt in the mailbox this morning.. i think i'll go do that now. ^_^;

;_; torture isnt fun.
in other news, i finally got around to learning stairway to heaven tonight. its fun.
i also spent a while drawing. i wanted to do more, but then i decided that i might kill the picture... anyhow, i'm pretty happy with it, which is rare, because its a sketch, and those usually dont go too well. but i had fun shading in some chess pieces. i wanted to draw my dog, but he wouldnt stay still >< oh well. i need someone to model for me. just so i can practice. any volunteers?

wow, been a while since i last posted...
friday zach actually came over and ate his birthday cake! *gasp!* it was amazing(k). then i just stayed home and played piano that evening while my parents went out with their friends.
saturday...... hung out with danielle. grocery shopping for chinese new year's party, then to the outlets with my mom and mrs. robinson. danielle and i were in rue 21 and we saw this guy there who looked a lot like haido-san. ("he was asian, short, really skinny, effeminate..." "you could have just stopped at asian.") and it was fun because he was laughing at our insanity. ^_^ saturday night was sushi with my church. yum! ^.^
today was really fun. we had the CNY party, and it was yummy and amusing. cooking with a wok is fun. cooking with a nate is also fun. he came over tonight and we made chocolate chip cookies. my parents forced us to play pictionary, but it was entertaining. especially jason and his religious dog. ^_^ we traveled downstairs later and nate played some guitar, and it was really good. i love listening to people play guitar. i just kinda get in a trance because it sounds so cool...
so this was a good weekend. i hope we have snow tomorrow. that way i can actually sleep X_X i kept waking up at 6:30 and trying to go back to sleep, but it didnt work too well. i'm exhausted! well, not really. but i'm pretty tired. i think i'll go to bed soon. oyasumi!

today is national compliment day. it was hilarious in math, because mr. zechman always makes fun of people. elise said that if you receive a compliment today, you should compliment 5 other people. the class freaked out... they were like, "FIVE PEOPLE?!?!? THAT'S SO MANY!!!" and i just sat there in awe and said "isnt it sad how people think its so hard to compliment people, yet they probably dish out at least 10 insults a day?" i mean, it's a compliment. to five people. it's NOT THAT HARD. and it really brightens up someone's day when you say something nice to them. it was fun watching people compliment eachother (the few times that i was able to observe it) because the person's face would just light up and they'd smile and say thanks, and the person who gave the compliment would feel so good about themself because they made someone happy. it was so nice! why can't people be like that all the time?
i've probably said this before, but i have this very nice ability that allows me to completely tune people out, especially when i'm eating. like at lunch at school. very nice.
pat has lunch with us three days a week now.
so i had a very good conversation with nate last night. we discussed our beliefs a little bit, and he made a very good point. it doesnt really make sense that the only way to be with God is through Jesus... i mean, there are so many people in this world who aren't Christians. would God really want so many of His children to suffer? (think about that, carrie) the really important thing is to live a good life, whether influenced by a desire to follow Jesus or just your own free will. i definitely agree with that.
ugh.. harissment about scholarship things again that arent due for another 3 months. ><

"Leos need respect and admiration from others like they need oxygen."
stumbled upon this statement while pretending i was doing homework. haha, with me, thats so true. no wonder i was freaking out so much last night.
so i was talking to my parents about beliefnet, and they were like, "we wanna try the belief-o-matic! XD" so i took them downstairs and told them how to use it. my dad was some weird thing and islam, and my mom was tied 100% liberal quaker and unitarian universalist (which i am). so we ended up having this huge discussion about the origin of the universe and the possible form(s) of God. it was very interesting, except my dad was always like, "no! that's wrong!" and it was really funny, because we kept having to remind him that we were sharing and debating our beliefs, not condemning them. it was entertaining at least. and i got to know my parents better. so it was fun ^_^
anyhow, i'll go back to randomly browsing the internet. bye!

today is national hug day! ^_^ danielle told me this morning, and i was just thinking, "hmm.... a great reason to torment my best friend!" so i kept sneaking up behind her and giving her hugs. it was fun ^_^
and for some reason, jason had this obsession with pulling on my sweater today. i eventually got so paranoid that i wouldnt let him walk behind me anymore. it was amusing. i also found out that i have a knack for balancing weights on meter sticks. john would try like 20 times, and then he'd give up, and i'd get it on the first or second try. ^_^; but it was fun.
that reminds me... i need to finish my lab, do my econ worksheet, and outline 2 modules for psych.
i finished digital fortress today. i need to have the awakening read by next week. its only 150 pages, and i already started, so it shouldnt be too bad. i can read it every day in my 4th period study hall and also in my nothing-classes, so i should definitely be able to finish it in time AND read timeline at home. so i'll be booked for a while @_@ hahah... booked... i didnt even try for that one.

wow, 3rd post in one day. havent done that in a while.
this evening sucked massively, but i told zach about it and he forced me to make it better. good job, zach :P haha, but really. thanks.
in other news, i took beliefnet.com's belief-o-matic thing again, and i've changed from liberal quaker to unitarian universalist. not much of a difference, but UUs "welcome all deity beliefs as well as nontheistic beliefs," think of Jesus as more of a "Wayshower," Heaven and Hell are more like states of consciousness, along with a lot of other viewpoints that seem to have been formed by a merger between the best of all religions/belief systems. it was really interesting. i'm starting to like UU.

ok so i got to school really early to do annoucements with christina because she asked me to on friday. and i dont forget that kind of stuff. she came in at like, 7:10 (late) with caroline, and as soon as caroline saw me, she was all like, *anger* because christina asked her to come early with her in case i forgot. which should be fine. not a big deal, right?
well apparently she was a little p.o.ed about it. i mean, really. after school today i was at my locker and she was across the hall with christina, and she was just like, "oh, look. it's jenny, the whole reason i had to come early today to do nothing..." and i was just like, "wtf. suck it up." if she really wanted to do the announcements that bad, she could have just told me and i would have gladly given her my spot. i dont just sit and sulk when something doesnt go my way, unlike her. of course, i didnt say that to her face, because if i did, i'm sure she would have gotton even more pissed off and probably would have wanted to fight me, which would not have been cool. although i did say mutter it under my breath when i opened my locker, much to the surprise of those around me... ¬_¬
other than that, nothing really exciting happened today. except for planning stuff during gym class. ^__^ cant wait!

ok. someone had better have a damn good excuse for tonight. when i spend my entire afternoon (no, i'm not kidding.) making an awesome cake that i have to guard with my life so my family doesnt eat it, i dont appreciate rushing home from karate, running around getting stuff ready, and finding out that, hey, guess who's not here? *glare* i could have actually not spent so long standing in the kitchen that it hurt to walk after that.
so can you tell i'm a little pissed off right now? i dont like hard work going to waste. especially if the thing i'm working hard on tastes best the day its made.

haha, last night was fun. addi, jason, and destinee came over, we watched some football, and then all the girls went downstairs to watch "identity." my mom really liked it. ^_^
got msn messenger hooked up last night, and i was talking to reuben and tony on it using my webcam. it was so fun! ^.^ i mean, that has no real reason for being so fun, but it still was. i was very amused.
and today........ today i'm trying to figure out if i can just start going to mrs. houser's to tutor 2nd period again next week... and i need to do my physics because i completely forgot about it. and my book is in my locker. -_-;

^___^ i watched "identity" again today, and it was still really good. but now i have the urge to watch "equilibrium".... unfortunately, my mom wont let me go anywhere because of the condition of the roads.
destinee and i made really good cinnamon buns. ^.^ they're not too sweet, either, so my dad wasn't spazzing at all about the sugar content. i think i'll have to make them more often....
