Hmm... so last night I was up till like 1:30 am. ^^; I was about to archive this site just now but my computer sometimes does these weird symbols (usually Japanese), and I noticed them popping up in the HTML so decided not to tempt fate. But, dun dun, I made layouts for Inspired Verbalisms and Tree With Lights. I sent Michelle a sample of my layout and she had very nice comments for it. ^_^ Ego stroke baby! :D I had so much fun last night making new paint brushes... yes, I have no life. ^^

Today was George's funeral. ;_; It certainly was... interesting. First off I saw my math teacher from last year there... O_o We didn't talk to each other or anything but he was sitting behind me. There was lots of stories about what a great and funny guy George was that made everyone laugh at his humorous nature. ^_^ He truly was a wonderful man. During the service though this man named Bill fell asleep (hehe) and actually fell forward and hit his head, falling onto the floor. O_O;;; Everyone freaked out and they screamed for a doctor and everyone got out their cellphones and called 911. Eventually the paramedics came and while we were waiting they played music and had us pray. O_o; Bill is okay my Dad found out which is good... I was really afraid he had died of a heart attack (I don't know the guy and just saw him across the way before the service started) and I almost started crying. -_-; Afterwards we went downstairs for food and ended up waiting to get into the room for half an hour then another friggin' half an hour to get through the line. George would have enjoyed this though. :)

I got this funny review for one of my stories. :p Basically "Update" written a hundred times. ^_^; Very subtle... I was thinking of writing something today and it'd be a short thing but then again, I'm in an HTML/layout mood this weekend (which is very rare for me). Hazzah. Let's hear it for Spring Break! *sniffs air* I smell cookies... *grinning*

*yawns* I don't know why but I can't get anyone to go on a walk in this household! *shakes fist* Tomorrow is George's funeral... ;_; I think I'm going to go though I didn't really know him all that well... he was so nice and funny the few times I saw him I figure I should pay my last respects.

Hayley called me from France! She had left her address book here in the states and needed my address. ^^; It was a nice surprise. :) Michelle came over and we watched lots of movies. :) Then I drew on Leigh's oekaki board since she sent me a not to subtle e-mail to draw on it while she's gone. (yeaahh... subtle..).

Bored... I think I'll go knit. ^^;

Last night I did something pretty uncharacteristic: I watched TV. GASP. Okay, I admit, I usually have the TV on when I wake up and eat breakfast (for the news) and at various points my parents will be watching TV through the day, but rarely do I stop and actually watch what is happening. But yes, last night after I stopped knitting (I've been asked if I sit on the porch and gossip with the neighborhood... -_-;) I went to my room and, dun dun dun, dug up the remote and watched some "quality" TV on the TV my grandma gave me before she died. Lots of channel surfing. I watched something about the Civil War (hey, I love history), a travel channel thing on Little House, er... Futurama (probably spelled that wrong)... King of the Hill... realize I was channel surfing... but yes, at 11:30 I switched it to channel 5 for some Leno but passed out before he even came on! I woke up again near the end of his show. -_-;;

All my friends (well... not all but I only really have a handful of good friends) are gone. Hayley went to Spain and France for Spring vacation and Leigh left today for Italy. Those skanks (Anne is very jealous). My brother Josh and his girlfriend leave tonight for New Zealand. Damn him. That brother has been everywhere already... England, Russia, er... Canada... ^^; Africa, and now New Zealand. Very jealous of my older brother and friends.

Michelle is coming over so we can have no lives together. ^^ I had this huge urge to go on a walk last night, however, my neighborhood is: (a) the middle of no-where, (b) pitch black when the sun is gone and, (c) has all sorts of creepy ass animals in the neighborhood. Hazzah! So I've informed Michelle we're going to take Midrift (Midnight) and Stinky (Sierra) for a walk. ^^ Very excited. I don't know my current mood right now... I've just woken up and know I have a week of nothing but hey... nothing is better than, er... death... :p (Anne, the eternal optimist). :)

teheehee! For some reason I'm really happy at the moment... perhaps I'm bipolar or something....? I mean, I can go happy to sad in just a few seconds... hmm... very curious indeed...! I did just get an e-mail though that made me very happy so that's a very good thing before I go off to art class and am bored out of my skull (seriously, I love drawing and all but looking at slides and discussion what "art is" is boring... I've almost fallen asleep both classes... O_o;).

So, I'm babysitting after class today. Dun dun dun! I should like bitch-slap the kid since he was most likely the source of why I was sick two weeks ago... course, I'd get in trouble for that and Lane is so funny and not at all (well... sometimes) like the other brats I've babysat (kids down the street). I should try to find something here to bring to entertain the kid since we always end up bored but I don't know where all my games went from when I was a kid... perhaps I'll just loose marvelously at basketball to him. ^^

In Health today we watched a movie on cancer that accomplished it's mission: scared Anne shitless. O_o; I'm pretty paranoid so that movie didn't really help me. However, I'm on this new campaign: drink some tea everyday. I used to do it while living in Japan (obviously... but not everyday... tea isn't my favorite thing in the world) and... yeah. I'm trying to get some physical activity daily (like yesterday two laps on the treadmill...). Still have a long way to go with that. I ended up laying on my floor last night, knitting. ^^ Did that until I forced myself to stop at 8:30, got up, laid in bed, and read The Princess Bride. About half way done with that, bu-yah! Oh yes, and Leigh got me to say this:

I have an eating disorder.

Got me to admit it this weekend. -_-; She says it isn't like HUGE or anything but I am concerned about what I eat/weight/etc. Ye-haw. Another to my list of weirdness. ^^ But it's not like I'll go puke or anything... I can't stand throw up... OH yeah, Hayley! Have fun in Spain and thanks for the Aragorn picture (my precious). :) I'm going to put together the layout shortly... just need to find somewhere to host the images.

Ahhh shit, need to go to class. -_-;

Grrr. Heavily pissed off. I just spent like 20 minutes reviewing this one story and, ha-friggin-da, the I hit "enter" and the stupid thing is like, "Experiencing difficulties, try again later!" I was like, "NOOoooo!" so I found a way to get the review back and copied it then closed the window. Course, I opened up Word which tends to erase the stuff I've copied. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGH! I feel like I just wasted a shit load of my time. -_-;

Math midterm tomorrow, la de friggin' da. The army called again for me after dinner. I think it was the same guy who talked to me before. O_o; This time I simply told him the truth: I wasn't interested. Ahh the joys of being eighteen.

So, still pretty depressed since yesterday. My Mom has this theory that it is this (since I got bummed at Sakura Con): I'm trying to fit in with my peers yet I've moved on beyond their level of maturity (etc) so I can't fit in. I told her growing up sucks and she said, "No it doesn't! It just is hard!" Sometimes I think going to Japan was a mistake... but then again, I've never really fit in, have I? I feel very cynical... I think I'll go read some more LOTR... something is going to happen (Sam and Frodo are talking after they met with the elves... action packed by the second!). Seriously though, I'm enjoying it... just can't read it when I'm sleepy.

Waste of time! That long review!! *weeps*

Life certainly is... interesting. I got back from Sakura Con today and have been feeling kind of empty inside. I don't know... the Con was pretty interesting and all. I saw this guy who dressed up like movie Van, thus Leigh and I joked he was my soulmate. ^^; Also, on Friday I was so tired I passed out around 11 and blacked out until about 4 AM. O_o; Did almost the same thing last night too...

So, Dad picked us up at the hotel this morning and I'm kind of happy that it is finally over. Yesterday I saw Les Miserables in Seattle with Mom and her friend. I admit it was good however I enjoyed the London version I saw in 7th grade better. But... yeah. My Dad told me that George, the priest and my Dad's churchs husband, died last night. He had had surgery for his heart on Wednesday and has had issues with it for awhile and, well, passed away last night. I don't know, since hearing that I've felt really empty inside....

*sigh* I don't know.... I'm in one of my depression spells again. I feel like nothing in life is working really and well... ergh. I think George's death is really affecting me. I didn't really know the man though. I've only seen him a handful of times and two Saturday's helped him with yard work at the church for community service. He was really nice and funny... I can't believe he's dead. His service is this Saturday and my parents are going so I asked to go with them. Perhaps this is shaking me up so much since I've never really had anyone I really know/enjoy being around die...

I feel like shit. I was planning on writing and such this week but now don't really see a point. I hate depression spells.

Ugh. Finally. done. I've been putting together and organizing my scholarship crap for the past five hours. (insert sigh of annoyance/relief here). I ended up with twenty-one different entries when all I really needed was at least five.... let's hope with all the extra entries they'll love me more and won't end up hating me... (sudden sense of foreboding). But now all I have to do is pick up my high school and college transcripts tomorrow and I'm set to go! :)

So, Ingrid and I are making a clique together. ^^ It's going to rock I tell you that now. :) I have this urge to work on it tonight but I really should go to bed since I still need to take a shower and shit.

Tomorrow I am going to go to Sakura Con for the weekend. I'm not sure if I am excited to go or not... I don't know, last year wasn't as exciting as I had pictured it to be so I am slightly weary about this year. Hehe, I admit, hardcore otaku's scare me shitless almost. :p I'm looking at the website and noticing that people are going to sell their art there or something...? haha, perhaps then it would be worth going there next year. ^^ Perhaps a year at the art institute will make me a better artist..?

Tired... sleepy... oh yes, I am entering this blog layout in the scholarship. What? It displays my, er, computer graphic-ness... (lame is Anne). I updated my story (yay). Kind of exited but at this point nothing is exciting... meaning I should go to sleep. Damn body and its dependancy upon sleep.

Wednesday, April 2, 2003

Hmm.... well, I was thinking about writing today but decided against it. Why? Cause, someone ticked me off. I am very easy to annoy, I know, but hey... yeah. I don't know, writing this blog is making me actually want to go write. Perhaps I'll just start doing like one of my friends, i.e. writing but just not posting the crap. It's a whole evil society I tell you, people almost taking it as seriously as a practiced religion. I'm in a ranting mood, obviously, because I'm already worried about that stupid thing called prom...

Yes Hayley, you've accomplished scaring me shitless about this whole prom deal. Do you really trust me enough to get dates? I think the smart thing to do is pick up some random guys... haha. :p The more I think about that evil high school tradition the more I get that heavy sense of dread. Bah.

Worked on yet another scholarship picture, hate how it's turning out. I walked up to my Mom yesterday and said, "Do you think if they hate one picture they won't give me a scholarship?" "No!" I have this sense that I won't get the scholarship. My drawing skills sucked compared to others... I wonder if art school is such a good thing for me? I want to go and improve my skills but the competition and seeing people who are really good kind of scares me. Shit, all these random thoughts going through my head make me think I need an internet/MSN type break... when I use the computer it gives me too much time to think about the future and lack of skills. Urrgh. I should study Japanese for tomorrow.

Stared college classes again. Booo. Today I just had Japanese and, gasp, learned stuff that I actually didn't know before hand. Hear the thunder clap, the children cry, and the melodrama behind Anne. (dun!). Tomorrow is my first day of "Experience of Art." Slightly concerned about that class... how do you experience art? I am sure that I can make up how the art work makes me feel and stuff like that... I'm sure that is what Michelle said the class was about.

Herm.... so, I was looking at the sheet about the scholarship today and dun dun dun, turns out I haven't done one of the requirements. Shiiiiiit. So I'm doing a picture of Luna and Fritz from when they were kittens, cuddling, and writing "Siblings, always there for you" or something corny like that. Shit, only three days to get that done... I should probably be working on that... tomorrow I have a Health presentation though. -_-; I can b.s. my way through it (I think). I have the notes/sources I can look at during the thingy. I'll work on that scholarship thing tonight and tomorrow in the library during first period work on the presentation and what to say. Yeah! *Guts!* That's it... probably should go over the crap before I sleep though... hmm....

So, played a April Fools joke on Ingrid. She was not pleased. Hayley played one on me about getting us prom dates. Scared the shit out of me I'll tell you that. O_o;;; Well, must go actually work.

^_^ Highly amused. I was surfing the internet and came upon this website. It analysizes names and stuff... ^_^; I typed in 'Anne', since duh, it's my first name, and here is what I got:

Your first name of Anne has given you a rather quiet, reserved, serious, studious nature. You have sensitivity and appreciation for the finer and deeper things of life, the beauties of nature, music, art, and literature. The people who mean the most to you are those who can offer you intellectual companionship. It is only when you are among those who understand your deeper nature that you can really be yourself. The experience of having your remarks taken lightly or belittled, particularly during the early years of your life, has caused you to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. You do not express yourself spontaneously when conversing with others; hence other people may often regard you as being aloof, and even unfriendly. Your difficulty in putting your deeper thoughts and feelings into words can lead to problems in more intimate associations. This name has caused you to live much within yourself. You are rather easily hurt or offended. At such times you can withdraw into a mood, and may not even speak to others. Aside from these points, this name contains many fine qualities. You are a thoughtful, analytical person, and you know your own mind, even though you may not speak it. You are very conscientious and competent in all that you do. You take seriously any responsibilities that you have--in the home, in the community, or at the job. Worry and mental depression could be problems in your life. Physically, any weaknesses in your health would centre in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.

hehehehehe. ^_^

Wahoo! I don't feel as much like crap as I did yesterday! :) After I turned off the computer I went upstairs and changed back into my pj's and laid in bed eventually falling asleep. For some reason I was very cold (though I have like five blankets on my bed), so when Dad came in to talk to me (Sierra was sick and he wanted to know how, etc) I asked him to give me another blanket. ^_^ I slept a good three-four hours and got up, wandered around the house, went and slept some more, and eventually got up again. For awhile I dinked around on the computer and came to the conclusion that sitting up made me sick (ugggh), so went and laid in bed for awhile. I eventually made myself some dinner (one f'd up omelette... turned out scambled eggs with ham and cheese mixed in there) and played on the computer till I got sick again and watched Disney's Robin Hood.

While sick I thought of ideas for stories and wrote them out however am not in a writing mood. I'm waiting for Regufu (hehe) to get home so I can drag her with me to a trip downtown (well.. not downtown... into the small city near us) to get some paper for my Health posters. Boo to Health.

Feet are cold... perhaps socks would fair well with me... hmm.. *ponders* I asked Dad to go to Kinko's for me (shit, starting to feel sick again.. -_-;;;) however the man is watching TV, not moving. ;_; Well, he must realize if he doesn't do this that we'll end up paying more for art school. Yeah, I thought so! *scowls then sighs* I feel sick again... perhaps I should go eat something... I hate being sick. -_-;

Ugggggh, feeling horribly sick. -_-; I have a the feeling where you think you might throw up but you know you won't. F**k I hate being sick. I think it was definately something I ate at some point that is making me sick... either that or Lane made me sick from being near him while he was sick for seven hours. His Mom informed me the day before he had been throwing up... shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttt.

So I don't think I'm going to go to Caitlin's tonight. ;_; I don't want to drive all the way out there and since I'm feeling like shit at the moment I don't really want to go all the way there and end up like, for example, barfing. That'd be bad. All I really need to do this weekend is my Health posters, which I'll try and do tomorrow.

In Math today Hayley and I were writing notes (in my planbook, hehe) and then at one point after I wrote, "I feel like messing around with websites." she whispered to me, "Fanfiction... writing.... Prescription for Love....!" I am wondering how many people I will have at me before I actually update that story. Leigh has the friggin' writing skills at the moment. I hate how when she can write I can't, and vise versa. Boo.

In other news: Mom at a quilt retreat this weekend meaning Dad is in charge (noooooo!); Muffy is crazy, par usual; Sierra is sick and acting funny since yesterday (perhaps she feels my pain?) so I need my Dad to take her to the vet, or give me a credit card and I'll take the dog down there; and Noah got his tattoo colored more on Wednesday. Life is just peachy... ugggh. (sick)

Feeling nasty... either I got sick from babysitting yesterday (since Lain had a cold) or the dinner my Dad made made me feel sick (also, at the time, I was really hungry so pigged out -_-;). Another reason could be: I ate a cinnimon roll today. -_-; You think I'd learn not to eat the damn things (as previously discussed, because of a certain Thanksgiving and the smell of cleaning and cinnimon rolls I to this day can't eat them without getting sick). Why must my beloved cinnimon rolls make me sick every time I eat them?! I really think it was what Dad made for dinner....

I need to call Caitlin. I'm suppose to go over to her house for the night (tomorrow) but am so tired and lazy and don't want to drive all the way there (an hour and thirty minutes, uggggh). I haven't seen her since October but... UGH. We always hang out over at her house... perhaps I should make her come over here tomorrow. :)

Went to Michelle's house today. Fun shit! Her sister made us breakfeast (or in my case, lunch) of cinnimon rolls (gyaa!!), bacon and eggs (feel the thighs expanding). Then Michelle and I watched Cruel Intentions while I did my math homework (66 math problems is just wrong). Then we watched Enemy behind the Gate, or something along those lines with Jude Law. *_* Also, after months of forgotten-ness we revived our blog, Inspired Verbalims. GASP.

I realize that I also have to type out a bibliography or something.. I'll do it tomorrow morning in the library (go Anne!). Oh yes! Found out my college grades...! Japanese: 4.0; Political Science: A-; Experience of Literature: B+. My parents reaction was great ("That's wonderful!" "That's pretty good"). Go me.

Yup yup yup, as predicted, in a better mood today. I babysat for like seven hours today (Lane had a cold so had to stay home from school thus once I was done with my high school classes I went over there and his Mom went to work). I caught up on my bad children programming and such... ahh the wonders of childrens shows. I got my math "finished", or as far as my simple mind could figure. -_-; Lane's tooth also fell out! O_o; I haven't had one of my teeth fall out in six years so was kind of disgusted. ^_~ Oooh yes, he also had me draw "Link"... or whatever his name is from Zelda (?). I was happy he liked it and had him do the background, encouraging him to seek a career in art much like myself. ^_^ His Mom was very impressed when she came home and was talking about exploiting my art skills...!?

Speaking of art, I finished the drawing I'm going to enter for the scholarship!!! It's only taken me... hmm... how long? I did the picture back in December which probably took me two hours... then I've been coloring it since last Friday... the coloring job probably, if I took all the time but together, took about... *hmm* I'd say 6-7 hours. O_o; Whoa. I have no idea though what I want to do for a background. -_-;;;; Tomorrow I'm going to stop by Kinko's and photocopy it so I can mess around with various copies to see what color looks best (Lane suggested I do a sunset... ugggggggggh, too much effort).

I've been searching through the internet trying to find images for Hayley and my blog that we are putting together. ^_^ Very creative name, tehehe. Thus far I want to make layouts with pictures from My Fair Lady, Ten Things I Hate About You, and of course, Lord of the Rings. Now that I'm thinking about it, though I didn't love the movie, I want to do Vanilla Sky... and Chicago, though I haven't seen it, sounds appealing... URGH. All these ideas, must smack head firmly against desk!

I don't think she reads this blog but I haven't colored Paige's birthday (which was Feb. 26th... :p) picture. O_o; Me and CGing takes a loooooooong time and the right mood. Perhaps if I finish reading Memoirs of a Geisha, which I probably have like fifty pages of left (!!!), I'll work on that tonight... course, layouts... PICTURE FIRST! (you go girl, rawr!).

Tuesday, March 25, 2003

My day just progressed from bad to worse. I don't know, everyone seems so... grrrrrrr today. I sat around reading Memoirs of a Geisha some more then got a call asking if I could babysit Lain after my school tomorrow since he has a cold. Then, since I had planned something with Michelle, I had to call her to ask if we could do it on Thursday then we got on the topic of math... -_-; After she tried to help me I worked on math some more and got so frusterated since the equations in the book aren't working properly I worked myself into a headache. Then I come online to check my grades and end up surfing and end up hating my existance! ARGH! Why me!?

A lot of my friends seem pissy lately... perhaps it's me. -_-; Hayley was weird this morning, some people haven't talked with me in awhile. That's it, I've decided! I was fiddling with the idea for awhile but I'm cutting off communication with people for awhile! GRRRR to my life and crap! I hate when I get into these rutts. I'm like that artist in Memoirs that I work myself into a rutt then get into a drunken stupor and am anti-social for awhile (or at least that's how I interpret him... -_-;). I don't drink alcohol or anything but I can drink my knowledge in words and be anti-internet campaign once more. Goodbye my friends, until I get out of my rutt, tis Anne, signing off! (most likely I'll be in a better mood tomorrow, but at the moment I want to tell everyone to f' off).

Hmmm... *pondering* I'm deep in thought at the moment. I just finished writing an e-mail to Sara and am avoiding going to do either my math homework (boo to you log equations!!!) or making dinner. Dad didn't want to make dinner so gave the option of a restaurant, which of course Anne hates going to (boo to restaurants!). So, Noah and I are fending for ourselves, meaning most likely I'll end up cooking.

Sunday night I started reading Memoirs of a Geisha again. I haven't read it in over a year so thought I'd get re-acquainted with an old friend. I really ought to buy Dave Berry Does Japan since that book was hilarious. So much so that I finished it in a day. :) More trees are coming down in my yard by the way. The ecocide continutes, however there is one tree I actually want downed (it's rotten probably through 3/4 of the tree and if it falls its going to hit MY room! O_o;;;).

Leigh and I joked around today since we've noticed when one of us can write the other can't. Leigh obviously has stolen my muse, that bitch. I can't write and don't have the patience for it currently. I'm cutting back on computer time and working on those drawings for the scholarships, also getting back to reading real books. I think someone may be mad at me... *sighs* I'm in one of my anti-internet moods... this one seems to be lasting longer than the other... guess I won't be chatting for awhile (rather check e-mail or something for like ten minutes). You go girl, rawr!

I've been so lazy this weekend... ahhh well. ^_^ I've worked on that fairy drawing some more and it's actually turning out pretty good *proud of self*. Also I worked on that Escaflowne website I'm making which will most likely bomb but hey, I like it. :) Also started writing some more but stopped when I didn't like what I was doing. Perhaps I'll work on it tonight? But then again, today is, dun dun dun, my brother Josh's 30th birthday! Happy birthday brother who doesn't read this blog! :D :D :D

So, was being lazy, par usual, on the computer when suddenly my friend from Norway signed on! Course, I was helping unload the food cause my Mom had just come home but when I got back to the computer and noticed Henriette had MSNed me I was like, "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" I totally freaked out! I haven't really talked with her since like a month after I got back from Japan. It was so nice talking to her! Ahhh Hen-chan, my beloved buddy from Norway. ^_^

I think I'll go work on the scholarship drawing some more and do my research for health... I've wasted the day, go me!!!

Ahhh, this week is finally over. I feel like I could sing...! ("No, no, we'll have none of that!"). I think that research paper freshman year I wrote about Monty Python and the Holy Grail seriously made me (1) Know lots of the lines, (2) Know weird facts about that movie and (3) Made me to this day, four years later, still unable to watch the movie.

So while I was sitting around in first period in the library (since I don't have a first period anymore, yay!) I was working on my fairy drawing I made back in probably... December-ish. I'm pretty bad at colored pencils, but I'm working to improve (GUTS!). Math class we learned about... er... log something or other (great memory Anne has) and in the last three minutes of class I worked on the drawing again. The girl who sits in front of me turned around after she got up and went, "Wow, that's really good!" and Hayley said, "Yeah, too bad it's a coloring book." *takes a minute* "HEY! It is NOT a coloring book!" -_-; Finally picked up my letter of recommendation from Mrs. C and then went to my couselor who wrote me a quick letter saying, "Yes, this is original work she is entering."

On the drive home I noticed that my neighbors house is for sale. Whoa. I mean, in my neighborhood there have to be at least six or something for sale signs on the way up the hill. Geez.

Great fact for my fellow Washingtonians: Washington state has a higher rate of suicide than the rest of the nation! (WA: 15.9 per 10,000 or something while the nation is like 13.8...?). I guess it has to do with our lighting outside perhaps? How fast paced and competitive the job market is here. Be proud Washingtonians! We take the suicide method! (not promoting it but still, that fact is pretty weird/interesting/psycho).

The quarter from hell is over!!!!!!!! Omigosh, I can't even grasp how wonderfully amazing this feeling is! I don't even think that is has sunk in yet! Finals over, those horrible classes over with... YAY! Hear the choir music fill the air, those dancing children playing hopscotch, and insert other happy shit moteef here.

So Noah got his wisdom teeth pulled today. I didn't know until I saw my Dad walking around with an icepack and ask where Noah was. I glanced outside and said, "He went outside. What's the ice for?" "Noah got his wisdom teeth pulled today." Oops. I guess that's why he said yesterday he was going to be living off of jell-o. (call me blind to the obvious).

The tree murders knocked down a bunch of trees today. Grr. I said to Noah when I got home from my final,

"So, did the tree cry blood?"

"No they didn't cry blood. What would you rather have, trees crying blood or a moldy house?"

"*thinks*... moldy house!"

*yawns* I actually went to bed at a good time last night (9:50 p.m., BU-YAH!!!), however my wonderful cat Dingle (okay, her real name is Madeline, but hey) decided she wanted to get high on cat-nip and meow for half an hour until I got annoyed enough to go out there and yell, "SHUT UP!!!!" ... Anne is pissy when she is trying to get to sleep.

So, Math this morning we changed seats. I'm next to Hayley Bayley, BU-YAH!!! I can sense that our teacher is already regretting her decision... hope we don't change seats again this year. ^_^ Hayley and I actually got our math homework done during class, GASP! At 8 a.m. we turned on the news and watched the announcement by the Pentagon. Truly scary shit... I honestly have no idea what the outcome of this war will be. My prayers are out to the citizens and our soldiers. ;_;

I have my English final in four hours. Yay? At noon today there is a walk-out at school to protest the war. I bet most of them are only going to do it to get out of school. I mean, sure they have rights under the constitution to protest but seriously, what are a bunch of high schoolers going to get accomplished by "protesting" while they're suppose to be in school? Stay in school, get an education, and make a speech quoting the consitution and rights, morons. (sorry to offend but seriously guys, I know most of the people (that I talked to) are only doing it to get out of school, lazy bums).

*sigh* The tree murders are here to begin their massacre of my yard. Perhaps I should go chain myself to a tree, protest the war against the trees *rolling eyes* Don't get me wrong, I'm neutral on this war! But... yeah... Anne's weird when nervous.

So, I finally changed the layout. Amazing shit, no? Thanks Ingrid for hosting these images. I figured I need to get this layout up asap since I was already starting to hate it before it's public debut.

So, babysitting this afternoon (YE-HAW!!!). I have some Math homework to get done which, luckily, I don't really understand. I should have dropped math, I really should have dropped math. I also have studying for the final... I highly doubt I can study while I babysit since Lane (aka kid I babysit) has this obsessed with playing basketball with me each time I go over (I think since I suck at basketball).
