Female ID continued
To continue my point, I have a point to make. There is this new freshmen at Beaumont, and I know her first name is Mary, but I'm willing to bet if you know her, you know her as "The Boy".
She has a somewhat-masculine build, I've only seen her wearing pants @ school, and the biggest thing is her hair; its cut like a guy would. I remember the first time one of my friends saw her, she came up to me and said "is that a boy in our school? because he or she looks too young to be here, and well, looks like a boy".
While this may be true, I think it is the rudest thing to call her a boy. While I don't actually know her, she does kinda seem stuck up. However I don't think that its right to call her a boy. And this goes back to the whole long hair=external beauty which is the defination of female identity. Its just stupid shit like this that bugs me
So right now I'm really tired cuz we went cosmic bowling again. It was much fun, except watching those 2 people grinding and it was just nasty and yea. But I otherwise had much fun. So I'm just kinda chillin now waiting for Wayne to stop by, and watching Reno 911! with my brother cuz i guess they're running all of season 2 cuz the finale is wednesday, so thats exciting, lol
Fall Fling is in under a week. Yay

Female Identity
In British Lit, we read this short story "Rapunzel, Rapunzel", and had to write a thesis statement on it. So to sum up the story, this woman [narrator] has a heart attack, and went into this home that was kinda like assisted living, but also a nursing home. At any rate, on of the woman who shared her room was Mrs. Peterson, with very long silver hair, which she decides she wants it trimmed, but they guy cuts it really short, and after that she says "no one will love me, no one will think i'm beautiful" and then "leaves the home".. so you can assume she dies.
And the relation to me?
So this all has been dwelling on my mind because of our class discussion/my thesis statement. At the end of class on Tuesday we came up with the statement "external beauty defines the female identity". While, yes, for the most I agree because you look at girls who have to have all the makeup, clothes, and be model-size, etc. I suppose the reason the whole external beauty defines female id bugs me because I never had a wonderful opinion of myself. And it's like telling me that because I dont have long hair (yea, for whatever reason, I just have to be a lesbian cuz i have short hair) nor do I spent hours getting ready to go, or money on clothes/makeup.
So I guess I am bothered by it is because I do not feel pretty, and I'm more or less hearing that my identification is based on the way I look. Which, is of course, the worst message to send out to the female population, because as a whole, we are sensitive, and most do care about that sort of thing. I guess I just don't like the way society works
On a grayer (sp?) note, I've been feeling ilke I jsut wanna run away from home again because of the stupid shit my father does. Only 11 more months roughly, of having to deal with it on a day to day basis. Yesterday was just one of those days when I wished I didn't have a father or that my mother would leave him
But, on a much happier note, Fall Fling is only 9 days away. I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm happy that Sami's going and Bean and Monia are going. Should be fun
I suppose that is all she wrote... just one more class...

Too Many ILTs...
It really sucks that i have 3 on the same day... the only other one I have is tomorrow, but I get to have group guidance then. How much fun.
So I guess Thursday is going to be my e-mail random people day, cuz I literally just wrote 5 people emails... that weren't that short either. I should probly email my mum just cuz... we email back and forth sometimes and its really funny when she signs her emails "Love, Joanne". But thats just me
So we had our big sis/lil sis breakfast today, and mine is pretty cool. One of the other frosh chicks at our table was talking about some seniors, which was funny, but it wasn't anyone that I really liked, so it didn't matter.
ahhhhhhhhh time for trig

I WANT TO QUIT MY JOB!!!!
My boss is such a fuck up at life, and I just wanna strangle him like you wouldnt believe
Other than that, I had an incredibly wonderful weekend, and I don't think it could have been better (well, maybe, if I had gone to Denny's with everyone... but I don't think my dad would have let me). Cosmic bowling was soooooooo much fun, and I think we should all go any time when we don't have school monday. What do yall think?
I'm also happy cuz Mo is coming to Fall Fling with Bean and Sami is now has permission to go cuz she'll be ungrounded. yay. I seriously can't wait... its like 17 days away
I'm soooooo excited because I got an A+ on my first trig quiz, and only one other person got an A+... so yea, Janet did a happy dance, lol
Ummmm, I think that's about it...

How Beautiful Life Is
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW newborns are the CUTEST THING!!! I got to hold one today, and she is the cutest thing ever. Kyleigh was born Tuesday the 24th, and she is just too sweet. Seriously, it makes wish I could have a child (but people, please don't freak out cuz I don't intend to until I'm out of school and married). It was just so wonderful, holding her in my arms, watching her yawn and strech, feeling her body moving and touching her tiny hands. It's really amazing the size of their hands... newborns, just so tiny. And her nose, it was sooooo cute. I just hope its a responsibility I'll be able to handle... I mean, the entire life, everything is up to me and his/her father... we have to take of her eating and sleeping and everything. Aww, its just so much to think about
It was just so cool
SO school is ok. Didn't have it today, which rocked. So then I get a four day weekend, which is also sweet. Gonna go cosmic bowlin sunday so if I haven't already invited you, you're invited, lol. It's the freeway lanes @ mentor... we'll probly go about 9:30; but most are meeting at my house around 9 (plan on leaving bout 9:30)... email me about if you wanna come
I AM going to Fall Fling (Wayne is my date)... so y'all better come too, cuz I awnna have some fun w/ all girls... and especially cuz its our last year together, for homecoming. *tear*
I think I'm gonna go look at Kyleigh some more (it just never gets old)

**Fall Fling**
Alright, so it's September 25th (3 week from Saturday) and I don't know if I'm gonna go anymore. I wanna go, but for one thing most of my friends have been saying "I don't know if I wanna go/don't have a date/dont have a dress" etc, so yea. And now Sam's grounded, which sucks and she can't go to Fall FLing, so what's the point of me going if none of my friends go?
But I already have a dress. (but I didn't have to pay for it at least... and I guess I could wear it to prom)
Weekend is coming thank goodness, and I don't have school on Friday... argh, well I must go now to Bio

I've got School Spirit...
But I don't compare it to my legs...
Wondering (for those who arent at Beaumont) what I'm talking about? So probly the funniest thing of the first day was when all of student council got up and did this cheer. I was humored, very much, so I'm hoping you are too
Hey Beaumont
Hey what?
Wanna talk about ya mama?
No way
Wanna talk about ya spirit?
OK!
My spirit's strong and fine, just like these legs of mine
And when I cross the street, the cars go beep, beep, beep,
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Yea. That's what i got to put with yesterday. Last time I checked, my spirit is not in any way, shape or form like my legs. But it was funny.
I've been kinda moody today. Ok, I've been really moody. But thats ok. I'm excited for the weekend, cuz tonight is Kat's and tomorrow I'm going thrifting and possibly bowling. Ohhh, and service tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to it, cuz i haven't been there for a few days and last satuday when I went, a lil old lady told me I was her neighbor, and that I lived there. It was fun, lol
Time to get SOMETHING done before I go out

baseball, college, and back to school
There is something wrong with the world when you go to an Indians home game and you find that the team shop thingy is selling not only Indian's merchandise, but also Yankees shit. I'm not nearly the biggest Indians fan, but I was offended by that, lol. It was fun tho at the game... we went Monday when they lost :-( but I had to much fun with my family... Jean came up from Columbus to see it. so that was cool. Lots of Yankees fans came to see the game and it was funny when the yankee fans started cheering for something, like 5 seconds later, they were drowned by boos from the Indians fans. so yea, that was fun
I went to Ursuline Tuesday to visit/tour the campus, and I absolutely fell in love with it. I really don't wanna go anywhere else now. I do plan on applying there and to Notre Dame of Ohio and possibly to BGSU (just for you Sami)... but I pray to god I get into Ursuline. I doubt I won't; with the grades I have, I can get a $2000 scholarship already, and if I can get a 27 on the ACT then I'll be able to get like $7000... thats the only thing keeping me at the 2 grand mark.
Today was my first day of school too. Not too bad, but not that great. I have homework already which sucks... but I gotta go to work, so I'll write more later

She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Try so hard to say goodbye

Well, I've noticed a few people (ok, Mo and Ivey) have responded to this whole smoking thing. Honestly, it makes NO SENSE to do it cuz everyone knows that its not only killing you, but the people who have to inhale it second hand. I remember in seventh grade going to visit my uncle who was dying from lung, throat and mouth cancer... from smoking. I remember when we visited, which was a week before he passed, where he was stuck in a hospital bed in his living room. All things considered, he looked somewaht healthy (he didnt look like he was about die)... he seemed happy... and then a week later, he was dead. I guess its just stupid cuz we KNOW that smoking causes cancer. It's not like when my grandparents, and parents for that matter started smoking. I mean, back then no one knew. but we do.
Argh everyone's leaving me from school. Todd left yesterday *tear*, Nick today, Anna tomorrow, Ben saturday and i think Wayne on Sunday. I can't wait til Sunday tho, right Mo? Lol. Ohhh, and I ordered my senior pictures today. I still have like 2 months to wait til they come back. So I'm excited. And I hope to have my license for Fall Fling so I can drive my lovely date, lol. (but i dunno if that will happen, cuz I think I've been scaring my dad, lol) o well
Service hours have been interesting... still working at the nursing home, with NO patient contact. Which actually kinda sucks cuz I remember when I went there like sophomore year, and there was this really funny old Italian woman who barely spoke any English, and she was like in love with this really sweet old man, who she called "mr. jimmy"... and she ALWAYS had to sit next to him... I wonder if either have passed?
YAY, I wrote a college essay... its the one I'll be sending to Ursuline. ok, I shall be on my way now

Ok, so when did everyone start smoking? Is this like the new trend or something, and I was just not notified? Honestly, it's ridiculous. I don't wanna name any names, but what the hell are those people thinking?! Argh. But anyways, I had a great weekend; went to the Feast in Little Italy saturday and sunday, which was lots of fun (and saw people from beaumont... smoking... argh... sorry, it's just disgusting, and I know it's wrong, and they're fucking cancer sticks. Ok, think I'm better). But yea, it was lots of fun hanging out with everyone, eating lots of cavatellis (yum) and other stuff. Oh, and yesterday was my brother's birthday, and the poor guy has to start school in 2 days.
Getting closer to my license... hoping to have it by September
I thought I had more to say, but I dunno, I really don't. So I guess I'll go shower cuz I'm kinda icky, and eventually write more

Ok, so I'm in a really good mood. I've been up since 7:30 (and for the first time, I feel fully rested) cuz I did service hours (yes, for my junior service project) at grande pointe nursing home. I painted for 3 hours. Or just aobut 3 hours. It really wasn't that bad. So I get to do that again tomorrow morning, and then Saturday.
I also got my senior pix back. I'm funny looking. lol, but some did come out really nicely. so in like 2 months, I'll get whatever it is that I order. Ohhh, and I got to drive back from mentor (granted, we didn't take the freeway... so it like 40 minutes)... my dad's been really cool about letting me drive... he just kinda hands me the keys and says "you can drive, if you want". So I'm hoping to have my license in a month.
mmm, well I must be off now...
