7:58 pm - And I thought it couldn't get any worse...
|
As it turns out, yesterday evening, Ingrid's parents made the decision to take her off life support. I'm not sure as to the basis of their decision, however, I'm sure she must not have been progressing as we thought she had.
Today, we basically didn't do anything in Government and Economics. As she was in both those classes, our teachers thought it would be best to just give us time to ourselves. One good thing was that we had a prayer service for her and we were allowed to go up front and say a memory we had of Ingrid.
Well, I was very proud of myself because when I told my memory I made everyone laugh. I went up and said that I most remembered Ingrid for her intelligence and I specifically remembered that it was always because of her that we never got curves in Chemistry. ^_^ I also said that I admired that even though people would ask her what she had gotten on the test, she would just sink down into her chair, content to stay perfectly humble.
It's really strange because I feel like Ingrid is just at home sick and next week she's just going to come sauntering in the door. It really hasn't registered with me yet that she's not going to be coming back again. Ever. I've never lost someone I knew well, so I think that this is the reason my reaction is like this. I'm not in denial, however, it's almost as if my brain can't comprehend her death.
Her funeral is on Friday and all summer school classes have been closed for that day. I feel really bad because the more I hear about Ingrid, the more I see how alike we were. She liked drama, animals, and she was also very reserved. I really wish that I had gotten to know her better before the opportunity slipped through my fingers.

1:15 pm - Oh no... ;.;
|
I just found out this morning that one of the girls in my grade got into a jetskiiing accident and is currently in a coma. She has a broken nose, broken ribs, and the doctor said that when she wakes up she will most likely have brain damage.
I just can't believe it. This fellow student is in my Government summer school class and I just saw her Friday! How can someone go from completely fine...to being critically injured?!
I didn't know her extremely well, because, like me, she is very quiet. However, Freshman year she was in my Biology and Sophomore year she was in my Theology and Chemistry classes. I'm really worried about her. Since Freshman year, I've admired her for her wonderful grades in both science classes. I also feel a little bad because I never really got to know her well.
Hopefully on Monday, I will be able to find out what hospital she is in from one of my friends who knows her well. That way, I can send her a card and some balloons. I know it seems a little stupid, because she is in a coma. However, I want her to know that people are thinking about her when she wakes up.
I know some of you reading this are not religious, therefore, I won't ask you to pray for her. Rather, I ask you to please send positive energy her way and the way of her family.
That's all for now. I feel like it would be inappropriate to add anything lighthearted to this message. See ya...

current music: None...I can't find any that fits the moment

8:14 pm - I know I got back Sunday...but I had 56 emails to read! o.O

Konnichi wa!
I had a lot of fun at A-kon of course. I met so many people and I saw a number of wonderful costumes.
The best day would definitely have to have been Saturday. That morning we met cosplayers of Tasuki, Kouji, Suboshi, and Vash (the hottie! ^_~) and we all wandered the kon in a great big group. We spent the morning searching for the Chichiri and Hotohori that we had seen the day before, 'cause we wanted to take a group FY picture.
Around lunch time, our little group piled into Vash's car and we drove down to McDonald's. Well, we all got out of the car and began walking away before we a strange pounding noise coming from the car. It turned out we had forgotten to let Kouji out of the trunk! (Don't get me wrong, Vash had a SUV, so it was an open trunk!) After we let her out, she was complaining about how minor characters like her were always forgotten.
That night, Tomo-chan and I lined up for the cosplay contest. While waiting in line, we quickly made up a little skit that we could perform when our turn came to walk on stage. Well, just before we were suppose to go on, the fire alarm rang! It turned out someone had been smoking next to a smoke detector, however, this was not discovered until all the cosplayers were evacuated outside. It was hilarious watching all these Sailor Moons waving out to people driving by on the highway. ^_^ Well, soon we were lead back in and our turn came up.
Tomo-chan and I walked out on stage, arm-in-arm, and she said, "I'm Nuriko and this is my miko! Say hello Miaka...Miaka..." and I held up my UFO catcher doll of Tamahome and glomped and kissed him, dramatically shouting, "Tamahome...Tamahome!" Finally Tomo-chan began to drag me off stage, and I promptly grabbed the microphone back and shouted, "Tamahome daisuki!" It was great. We actually got a laugh!
I spent exactly $100 on merchandise at A-kon, which really surprised me. I bought a Tamahome UFO catcher doll, a fuzzy Totoro plushie, a Tare panda keychain, a set of decorative chopsticks, Pocky (Yum!), a shonen ai Nuriko/Tasuki doujinshi (Kawaii!), and a beautiful FY artbook. I also decorated my A-kon badge with a Tamahome, Tare, and Mokona pin.
It was lotsa fun and I can't wait until Ushicon in Febuary! I'm probably going to cosplay Legato if I can make my costume by then. Tomo-chan is going to Kuroneko-sama! ^_^ Wai!
Time to go now, I'm not in the greatest of moods, but I'll keep my rant to myself...ja ne!
P.S.- No, you're not delusional, my name did change, but I will refrain from explaining the reasoning. :P

1:21 pm - Why have all my recent weeks sucked? -.-
|
I was having an alright week, what with most of my finals being pretty decent, but that was all ruined today.
I had my Honors Algebra 2 final today and in order to make sure that I did alright, my mom called the Learning Center (she deals with extra time and tutors and stuff) and organized to have a tutor come over. Well, she ended up being a senior who I had met briefly in cross country before she quit my freshman year. She seemed to be a big help and we went over all my tests and she helped me figure out why I had missed things.
However, when it came to the test, I either knew how to do things right away or was at a complete loss. Though some of you already know this, I have extended time do to the fact that I have a processing problem that causes me to take longer on tests. Well, even though I was given an hour over the regular time that students get, I still had three pages left to do! Two of the pages had multiple choice answers, so I hurriedly just circled letter, but the last page I had to leave totally blank. It really made me mad, because the stuff I didn't have time to do was all the information we had just recently gone over and I really understood it!
I'm really frustrated with myself. I hate having my stupid learning problem that makes me take longer than everyone else. It's really difficult because people don't understand why and I end up wasting time on things that other kids can do in half the time I can. It makes me feel like a complete idiot...or that there's something wrong with me. Why does it have to take me so long to get things like math and latin?
I'm fine in English. It's my best class. I'm also alright in Chemistry because it's a bit more abstract than math. I think it may be because math is so much comprehension and my teacher never taught me based on my learning style.
*sigh* I really needed a good grade on that one too because I didn't do well in Algebra this nine weeks. After the tests were taken up, I hurried into the bathroom and started to cry. I know it seems stupid, but it's not just because of the math grade. I mean, this final factors into whether or not I get to go to the college of my choice! It's not good...I'm really bummed out.
To make matters worse, my character in Tanora Weyr didn't win the gold flight that determined the Weyrleader (Highest position in the Weyr opposite Weyrwoman). I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up, but I really wanted just one important character to play. Oh well...Tomo will probably do a better job than me anyway.
Well...that's all for now. Perhaps I'll feel better later when finals are out...

4:13 pm - -_-;;;;;;; I'm not having a good week...
|
I'm really not having a good week...
I don't know why, but this whole week I've been depressed. First of all, I'm mad at myself because I want to do well on finals, but I really don't want to study. Therefore, I've been wasting quite a bit of time throughout the week.
Secondly, I'm currently very peeved at a friend. I won't mention any names...but well...She's making me feel very unwanted, if that makes any sense.
I have a tendency to get into these moods where all I want to do is sleep. I don't want to be up, 'cause then I'll have to study for finals. And if I stay on the net, watch T.V., or read, my parents will get mad and tell me to study. Therefore, I just end up going to sleep, 'cause no one can get mad at me for doing that.
Also, to add to the other things along with being stress, I'm feeling very sensitive at the moment. Anything anyone says or does that would usually just annoy me slightly, really grates on my nerves. It's not good... -.- No wonder I'm not feeling close to any friends at the moment...
The only good thing is that we have Frosted Mini Wheats. I love Frosted Mini Wheats, they taste good. ^_~ Now if my mom would just go to the store and get some bagels and jam, I'd be set for the weekend...

3:22 pm - More school tomorrow...Someone save me!
|
Well, I'm not having a great day.
First of all I haven't done much this entire weekend except be bored. The only thing I did of any relevance was I babysat this morning and I made a bit of money.
The little three-year-old I babysit is really adorable and she asks some pretty perplexing questions. Well, maybe not perplexing if you interpret the them the way she means, but abstract me always seems to find some sort of sybolism out of them.
Anyway, we were coloring pictures in this coloring book that her mom had bought her when she said, "You color pretty," and naturally I said, "Thank you, your picture is pretty too." Well, we continued to color for a while and she said, "How come I can't color inside the lines like you can?" And I responded with, "Oh, but I really like the way you colored this part." She seemed satisfied with that until about five minutes later she said, "I wish I could color as good as you."
Well here comes my abstract breakdown of that conversation. If you don't want to here some analytical talk, then just scroll through this paragraph. Alright, well, I was thinking, you know what? That's how life always ends up. Whatever you do, there's always going to be someone better than you. I think that's why when people brag it really gets to me. I mean it's just like their rubbing your nose in the fact that they are much better than you.
Another point is that I'm a person who really wants to be special. And the thing is, I used to think I was pretty smart, but since I've attended St. Michael's my grades have started going down hill. The only thing that I feel truly good at is acting, and I still don't have much of a chance in suceeding in such a competitive field.
Therefor, I think that what I need right now is something that I can feel really good about. Anything that I can do and feel my heart fill with pride. Don't get me wrong, I'm satisfied with myself...but I'm not happy.
Also, and there is corniness coming on so scroll through if you don't want it to send little cupids beating their heart-shaped bows on your head, I long to meet my soulmate. I just want a single person who can understand me and make me happy. I also need to feel wanted...Like my life stands for something...I need someone I can laugh with and cry with...*sigh*
Well that's all for now...I think I'll go sulk in my bedroom. -.-

7:46 pm - I'm not in the mood to think of a subject...
|
Well, this weekend was very active!
Friday was opening night for the musical I was in and Tomo-chan came and saw me. ^-^ It went quite well, though I did make a few mistakes that were barely noticable.
On Saturday, I went over to Tomo's house and she, Kathleen, and I watched the first Rayearth tape, Get Real, and the beginning of Interview with a Vampire.
That night we had our second performance and it went well also. On Sunday, I went to church and then hurried over to the theater. We performed, and afterwards there I had a cast party at my house. It was a lot of fun- People were throwing each other into the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and squirting one another with water guns.
Today was as normal as any Monday is. I have a History test tomorrow and we have our make-up Chemistry test. Therefor, I should proabably be off.
Toodles to one and all!

4:37 pm - Even though it's Friday...I'm not having a good day... -_-
|
Well, hi everyone. Today didn't go too well for me.
It started off with this stupid NHS induction that the whole school has to go to. That got me really depressed because it made me feel like I'm not working up to my full potential this year, which is probably true. Last year I was set on getting into NHS, but after last 9 weeks' grades...I didn't have a chance. -.-
Secondly, our dean of students, who basically deals with all the punishment at my school, was the one to give a speech about NHS. It was horrible...he had the entire thing written out on paper, and didn't look up once...not to mention that it was quite obvious he was reading it as his voice inflected about twice every minute.
I began to critisize the speech and had two teachers glare at me. Then after NHS, I found out we were going to have a speaker for stupid Diversity week. Well, it turned out to be this guy who was dyslexic. That wasn't a problem, but the thing that pissed me off was that he only talked about dyslexia, and he was suppose to be representing how diversity is good!
Finally, during lunch I was jarred by millions of sophomores and freshmen trying to shove their way to the front of the line. Then I went to Theology and got to here people after class, griping about how much the hate our Theology teacher, who I really like.
On my way to Chemistry, I went to check on whether or not my service hours had been posted or not. I'm suppose to have 43 service hours but the stupid dude whose in charge of them, doesn't even have my name posted on the sophomore's list.
Hopefully, I'll perk up tonight 'cause I need to be hyper to do a good job in my part. Well, my right hip is sure to cheer me up. ^_^
current mood:  apathetic

Well, I just went to Chemistry and found out the whole story about the cheating. It turns out that one of my good friends Higo-chan actually had the opportunity to cheat as well.
What happened was one sophomore somehow got a hold of the test early and wrote down all of the multiple choice answers. She then proceeded to give her whole group of friends the answers, which they programmed into their graphing calculators. Higo overheard two guys talking about it in her History class and they asked her if she wanted them too. Needless-to-say she ended up taking them along with a lot of other sophomores in that clique.
When it finally came to the test, Higo felt too guilty to use them and cleared her calculator of the answers. She told me all of the people who did cheat though, and it completely destroyed any ounce of respect I ever had for them. -.-
I just don't see how anyone could do that. I mean sure, I've let my eyes wander before, when I was really desparate, but I could never go into the test knowing exactly what was going to be on it! I mean...that's just wrong...how could they do that and not feel guilty? I'm beginning to doubt my school and many of the students in it...though, it's probably not much better anywhere else.
Oh yeah, and it really surprised me that Higo even concidered it! I mean, it'd be one thing if she got into trouble all the time, but Higo comes from a very religious family. Her dad works for her church as a marriage councilor and her mom teaches theology at a private school. I feel bad being mad at her because I know she feel horrible that she was about to cheat...I'm just...really shocked.

Konnichi wa, minna-san,
Here I am...updating my journal. Well, so far this week has been going pretty well. Last night during practice we went through the entire show without stopping. I'm really impressed! I think that it is all going to come together after all. ^-^
Tonight is our last practice, and I heard that a lot of people will be coming tonight because they're going out of town this weekend. Hopefully we'll do as well as we did last night. Anyone who'd like to come, email me and I'll give you the times and such. (I don't exactly want to post them for the whole world to see- there're sick people out there *coughTOMOcough*) ^_^
Tomorrow I'll be getting my math test back, so hopefully I did well. I think I understood anything...but whenever that happens I always end up getting a bad grade somehow. ~_~ *knock on wood* Uh oh...our computer tables are made out of plastic, what am I gonna do? Oh well, it has to count for something, right?
I found out today that everyone has to retake the Chemistry test that we took Monday and Tuesday. So many people cheated on it that my teacher wants to make up a new one. I guess I don't really mind...at least this time I'll have a better idea of what to study for. Well, class is starting, I'm off!
Ja ne.

Well, I had a very busy weekend. I already told you what I did on Thursday and Friday, so we'll go right into Saturday. Well, Saturday I ran through my lines a bit and then went to practice. That practice went much better than the previous one and was much less stressful. Sunday I went to church, as always, and then went to practice again. I didn't do as well as Saturday, but it wasn't all that bad.
Today, I finished all my homework except math during school hours! Yipee! That means that I won't be staying up increadably late since I have practice from 6:30-9:30 tonight. Needless-to-say, Tomo, I won't be going to Signulls. Sorry! =/
I'm about halfway through Dragonquest and it's great. I even made a character in the Pern RPG that Tomo's a part of. Now if the webmistress would just update the page...
Not much more to say and school just ended so I should probably go...ja!
Oh yeah! I have a little Japanese riddle out of Hiroshima, which we're reading in English. Here goes:
Q. What is the smartest animal in the world? (Close your eyes if you wanna guess, though I doubt you'll get it right)
A. Kaba (Hippo), because it's name is a rearrangement of baka! ^-^

8:16 pm - Yawn...no school today...
|
Well, we didn't have school today, 'cause my school is weird and they give us a day off for prom. I'm only a sophomore though, so I stayed at home and slept in.
Ugh, yesterday I was completely stressed out. We had practice for the musical from 6 to 9. As I've probably already said, I am the narrator. Needless to say, I kept forgetting my lines that I had perfectly memorized, others kept forgetting words to songs, and all our dances really sucked.
Well, my not doing well on my lines just added to my drama teacher's frustration...so, he got rather fed up with me and at one point decided to just get through the musical and stop blocking me.
It was hard, because I had only memorized my lines and at the same time, I was trying to figure out what my cue lines for songs were and remember my blocking. Another thing that added to my stress was the fact that I didn't once throughout the entire practice get a break to go sit down or get a drink of water. I mean, seriously, there wasn't a point when I didn't have my feet on the stage until we were done!
I'm alright though, now. I was very tired today and I took a nap at 6 o'clock. Watch, now I probably won't be able to get to sleep tonight! ~_~

Konnichi wa!
Well, this weekend I did quite a bit. Friday I went to the mall with Tomo-chan and we wandered around, bought a bag for Tomo's mummy, bought smoothies, and ate some Bertie (not Bernie Tomo!) Botts' Everyflavored Beans. ^-^
On Saturday, I went to dance practice for our musical. It was abnormally stressful because our choreographer was in a abnormally bitchy mood. ~_~
After that, I went to my friend Higo-chan's b-day party. It was alright...though I just feel like I don't have all that much in common with them. It was a spend-the-night party and she had it at a hotel suit so that we would have enough beds. Well, guess who was the lucky one who got to sleep on the floor? -_-
I started to depress myself, laying there on the floor. It bothered me that no one seemed to care that everyone had a bed but me. I started to wish that at some point in my life I will meet that special person who cares just as much about me as they do about themselves. I just want to feel needed. Like I have a purpose in life.
Well, anyway. Sunday, I went over to Tomo's house, where she, Saru, Wedge, and I watched Lost Universe and Cardcaptor Sakura. It was fun.
I should probably get going. Oh, and Tomo, if you read this before I talk to you tonight, call me 'cause I'm not sure whether or not I'll be going to Signulls.
Toodles!

Hiya peeps! (Tee hee, I could resist. Every time I hear that word now I automatically think of the little yellow marshmallow chicks. ^-^)
Well, not much going on at the moment. I did get my hair cut and layered yesterday, though! I like it, it looks a lot better and isn't all plain anymore.
I also got a new ring at the mall, 'cause I lost my old one over the Mexico mission trip. It's really pretty and it has a butterfly on it.
*sigh* I'm feeling very unappreciated at the moment. I don't know why, but I feel like even if I were to die, most of my friends probably wouldn't even notice. ~.~ It's a very lonely and depressing feeling. I guess I'm just a little too sensitive and expect too much of people.
Man...I have a history test tomorrow over three chapters and of course this is the one test that my teacher is refusing to give us a review sheet on. >.< Slacker...he's only doing it to save himself some time. :p
Oh, I have two quotes to post...one was something my mom said last week that cracked me up:
Mom's driving advice: "You have yield to all pedestrians, even the stupid ones."
Something I said today in history when one of the preps was annoying me: "Ugh! I'm going to murder Megan! I'm going to take this spoon and gouge her eyes out...Oh, but first I have to finish my yogurt."
Toodlesies!
current mood:  melancholy
current music: The sound of my tummy growling..."I'm hungry, feed me!"

12:36 pm - It's Monday...sigh...
|
Well, so far I'm having a pretty crappy day, but first let me tell you about my mediocre weekend.
On Friday I left school at lunch time in order to get to the college where TAPPS was being held in time. I preformed my prose and poetry and even watched a pretty good round of duets. However, after performing my poetry was when everything began.
I quickly rushed outside to see the postings of who had made it into the prose finals and noticed that my name wasn't up there. I calmly shrugged it off and went to meet my drama coach. That was where he explained to me exactly what had happened. I had been disqualified because the judge thought that I hadn't looked down at my book often enough, showing that I had it too memorized.
I was kinda disappointed that she hadn't given me a chance, but at least I would get to sleep in the next day!
On Saturday, when my mom and I were all set to go, we noticed, much to our horror, that the front tire of her car was flat and my dad wasn't home to take me. She dashed back inside and luckily called up one of her friends who lived close by and was willing to take me. By this time, however, we were quite late and I was stressing about whether my drama coach was going to be pissed of at me.
Well, needless to say, we did end up getting there on time. I performed my piece and was confident that I would get placed in the top four. My parents took me to get some tapes at Animagix and when I got back to the college they were just posting the results of the poetry finals- and I wasn't listed.
I started to freak, because I thought maybe I had been disqualified again, but then I noticed the placing only went up to 6th when there had been 8 people in the round. I truly didn't understand why I would have gotten placed 7th or 8th because I was positive that I had done better than many of the contestants.
Well, it turned out that the judges thought my piece was too "immature" and I ended up getting placed 7th. It really frustrated me because that was the only bad comment on my entire ballot! ~_~
That night I was little happier though, 'cause I got to go to Tomo-chan's and she, Saru-chan, and I went to the mall and then came home to laugh hysterically at a Fushigi Yuugi dub, and cry as we saw the last episode of Slayers TRY.
Sunday morning, we three went hiking and I got lotsa manly scrapes and bites over every inch of my body. ^-^
Then I came home did homework, went to church, and watched the left over Saber Marionette J episode that I had.
Today started out quite bad...In H Algebra II my teacher told me that he was reluctant to sign my schedule sending me into honors again next year. He said the reason was because I had a low PSAT score. Thanks Mr. Lavigne...make me feel like an idiot as your up there happily signing everyone else's schedule without a second thought. -.-
Also at lunch today, my friend...err lets just call her Higo-chan, was talking about how this freshman girl in choir said that her boyfriend was never going to forgive her for what she had done with this other guy over the weekend. Well, she and my other friend Oshaberi are trying to figure out what it is she did. I was looking around the table and silently thinking to myself, who cares?! I mean, it was none of their business anyway...so why does it matter so much to them?
current mood:  frustrated
current music: None...and it's probably better that way...

Alright, well today was ok. Other than the fact that I sorta...erm...failed my Chemistry test. ^^;
It was a lot harder than I expected.
I finished Interview with a Vampire (yay) so now Tomo and I can watch the movie!
Thankfully, I don't have practice for the musical so I can go home and sit around on my butt. Fun fun! Well, of course, I hafta do my homework first.
Eek! Tomorrow I'm competing in state! O.O Hopefully I'll do well. Send positive energy my way please.
current mood: calm
current music: None, but I'm going to go home and listen to some!

2:37 pm - Today's a Wednesday...yay, I didn't hafta make my bed! (The cleaning-lady comes today ^-^)
|
Alrighty, here I am, wasting away in the computer lab, while I should probably be doing my math homework. Oh well, I have an hour and a half study hall today 'cause today is block scheduling.
I finished Left Behind and it was increadably good!! Now I'm reading Tribulation Force and I'm almost done with Interview with the Vampire. Then Tomo-chan and I can rent the movie and oogle over Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. ^_~
I took my Latin test today and I think I did alright. The site translation was a little hard, but over all it wasn't that bad. Tomorrow I have a Chemistry test, but it shouldn't be too hard if I decide to study. ^-^
I'm still practicing my prose and poetry selections for the TAAPS state competition this Friday and Saturday and I'm confident that I'll do well.
A week from Saturday I'm going to an Easter party that I go to every year and Tomo-chan was going to go with me...but no...she hasta go to the beach instead. =P Therefore, all Easter holiday I'll most likely be sitting at home, rotting away into a crusty lump of maggot-infested boredness. -.- Oh well, hopefully I'll survive.
Well, that's all for now, I need to go and finish my math homework so that I don't have a lot to do tonight. Toodles! ^_^
current mood:  moody
current music: I need napster! Get napster you stupid school computers!

12:53 pm - Tuesday...boozeday? >:)
|
Konnichi wa!
I should probably be going to Theology as lunch just ended, but I'll put a quick update in here first.
I'm so happy! I got a 92% on my History test!! Yay! ^-^ Now, if I just study as much, maybe I can do as well on the test next week.
Erp...I have a Latin test tomorrow...Hopefully I'll do alright. Wish me good luck.
Saru-chan, stop appologizing! I really do forgive you. I promise!
That's all for now...on to Theology.
current mood:  bouncy
current music: Clicky computer keys

Konnichi wa, minna-san!
I'm in a happy mood today. ^_^ I dun know why, but I think it's 'cause I don't have much homework tonight.
I took my History test today. I was suppose to take it on Tuesday, but since I wasn't there I had to make it up today. We have block scheduling on Wednesdays and Thursdays so that we only have half of our classes.
I'm babysitting tomorrow, so, hopefully I can make so more money and am able to pay my mom back for my A-kon ticket without dipping into my money stash. ^-^ And yes, Tomo, it is the cute little three year old. She's the one who, when watching the movie Babe, asked why Babe drank water and not sprite when he got sick. Wai! ^________^
Yesterday I had dance practice for the musical I'm in and all went quite well. I'm actually getting the dances and not tripping over my two left feet! Yay!
Oh yeah, one last thing before I go...I overheard a great quote yesterday in dance practice and I just have to share it with you... "I'm having a bad day. Someone stole my banana bread and it's been down hill from there." ~~Jeana
current mood:  amused
current music: A weird kid in the computer lab singing the Pokemon theme.
