No No Drama [11 Sep 2005|12:42pm]
[ mood | irritated ]
[ music | Audio Delite at Low Fidelity/BEPs ]

I have been caught up in such a retarded situation that I didn't even want to be part of in the first place. I need to complain in something that won't go and blab everything to those I am having a problem with. Unless, of course, those who I have a problem with are looking for trouble.

Firstly, it started when two people, the girl being a good friend, whom I shall call Super-Sally, began to like a guy. One that I didn't like so much. Let's call him Dick. Dick, in the past, didn't have a spotless record in the dating industry. He had the inate tendency to hoarde women around him and "like" them all. The one he went out with he dumped at the time of a school dance. She was, in his words, "boring". Tragic, yes.

Dick and I had never gotten along well. It was, really, the only mutual understanding we had, and became the nature of things. But then Dick met Sally. Over the summer, they decided that they liked each other. (Collective "awww", here.) But most of my friends and I also share a mutual understanding, and that is that we didn't want this Dick dating Sally. We thought Sally could do better.

In one great collaborative effort, we did everything we could to keep Sally from saying "yes" to the question that was bound to come. Reasonable lists of his pro/con traits were made. Logical complaints were placed. Nagging ensued. We whined like the sun wouldn't rise again.

Excerpts from Conversation with Sally )


By now, I was finding all of this rather amusing. The urgency of the situation had worn off, and as long as Dick stayed away from me, I didn't give a damn one way or the other what Sally chose to do. So I backed off, and told my friends to back off as well. I mean, I wasn't about to take hold of the reins in Sally's life. I was still her friend, and I respected her.

This peace lasted for a few days. Then, I recieved this message from one of Sally's friends:


ANGRY MESSAGE )


Now whoa Nelly! This just came out of the blue! Then, perhaps a half an hour later, Sally attacked!


Sally, Holier Than Thou! )


Okay. So I assured Sally again that I wouldn't intervene. And I don't. And school starts, and for a few sweet days nothing happens but a hug in the hallway. Then I recieve a brilliant wake-up call from Dick's livejournal.

HOLY CRAP. The deed had been done already? They were going out and nobody had told me? And now I needed to be "taken care of" because I had been "bitching" to my friend? This came as a little bit of a shock. Sally decided to clue me in on her little tete-a-tete with Dick late yesterday over IM, because I am obviously too much of a monster to "break the news to" in person. She didn't want to damage me and get damaged in the process.

Then the comments came rolling in. Oh yes, the comments.

That is as far as the situation has progressed. My friends have been telling me to lay off a bit. I tell them to sod off, because that was precisely what I have been doing for the past two weeks. Now Dick has roped his friends into telling me to fuck off?

Fine. This is so out of hand, I'd rather be doing that then involving myself with these pieces of garbage.

Summing Up [09 Sep 2005|03:26pm]
[ mood | amused ]
[ music | Ba Bump/BEPs ]

It is official. I have survived one entire week at school.

NOT that I'm saying that I have come out unscathed. Because I totally haven't. Let me summarize my days:

FIRST: I get in school with Caitlin. Go to third hour, which is my homeroom. Am told that my schedule has been switched, and that she does not have my schedule. Dash to biology, which is first hour. I hope that I don't get caught without my yellow schedule. I don't, and run to the office and get my schedule. Lie my way out of potential conflict. Late for history. Then french, my new homeroom. Find new math room. See Sarah. Goes to lunch. Back to math. Then art. Then english.

-MISSION ACCOMPLISHED-
-status: distressed-

SECOND: Same deal, but with my schedule fixed up. I know my way to rooms, mostly.

-MISSION ACCOMLISHED-
-status: slightly shaken-

THIRD: Same. Is assigned an unworldly amount of homework.

-MISSION ACCOMPLISHED-
-status: overwhelmed-

FOURTH: Same. This is the last day of the week, since we started Tuesday. Will finish the French project over the weekend. Not happy about that.

-MISSION ACCOMPLISHED-
-status: dreading the French project-


Okay, so that has been my week. In a word, it can be described as sucky. In two, spectacularly sucky. Oh, but I crashed my bad aunt's computer, the one that I used in Chicago. That was pretty cool.

Put on a Happy Face [05 Sep 2005|05:55pm]
[ mood | cranky ]
[ music | Sting/Until ]

Tomorrow is school. Oh God, tomorrow is school.

I know I am making a big deal out of this, but school is so something that I don't want to go back to. It just tires me out, the socializing. And I like my late nights. And half of my classes don't have my friends in them, so I am going to flounder about looking for people to sit next to. And lunch period! I don't know if anybody has the same one as me.

*pulls out hair* I am so nervous!

I also wasted one glorious Labor Day Weekend away in Chicago. My parents were invited to a relative's wedding/wedding reception. Josh and I politely (and feverently) declined. My mother didn't want to leave us home and get a call from Social Services, so we were dragged along on a four and a half hour drive to Illinois. On the day of my third-cousin's marital union, I got to stay at my aunt's house and babysit two dogs.

For twelve hours.

For those of you who don't know, I used to be allergic to dogs. This allergy, normally dormant, reared its ugly fucking head during those hours. Of course, no one would think that this wedding reception would run until twelve thiry AM, or to give me some allergy pills to pop. So I wheedled away half of an exhilarating day sneezing until my sinuses came out of my nostrils. And then we drove home.

So here I am. A word for the wise: don't piss me off tomorrow.

Oh Boy [02 Sep 2005|11:23pm]
[ mood | anxious ]
[ music | The Postal Service/We Will Become Silhouettes ]

I need a gun layout. This guy is shot, so I figure it's good enough for now. Basically, I am as bored as hell. It's 11:30 at night. I should be asleep, and I am tired, but whatever. I'll just become cripple when I wake up for the first day of school. No big deal.

Okay, so I went to a football game, and I'll say this: football = boring. What a neanderthal sport. Seriously, what underdeveloped caveman came up with football? But no one was really there for the game but the players. I saw plenty of people there, including... Andy???!!!!? What?! He grew out his hair, and it kind of curls like a piglet's tail, so he has all of these brown/blond sprockets growing out of his head. Apparently, this is a hot look.

And apparently Diana doesn't have enough faith in me to not make fun of her to tell me that. She always tiptoes around me with guys. What? Am I some anti-man machine or something? Diana, if you are reading this, then I'd like to know why you'd think that. And don't say "I don't", because I know you hate talking to me about guys. I'd like to let you know that I wouldn't insult your opinions unless I was certain that it would be in your best interests. Such as Little Miss Sann, who needed some help. I mean, you tell/talk to Carly about it (and other people) right in front of me and then refuse to tell me. And that makes me mad, in a jealous and hurt kind of way. An online quiz said that envy was my strongest of the seven deadly sins, and it's starting to show here.

Moving on! I really wasn't into socializing right then, so I kind of fell asleep in my brain. Whenever someone talked to me, I'd nod my head and agree.

Sarah: And them my mom had to drop us off -
Me: Uh-huh.
Sarah: ... and our bikes -
Me: Yep.
Sarah: ... and so then we all laughed. But what would you -
(This is where I realize that she was talking to me, and I snap back into attention.)
Me: No! I mean, yes! Wait, what did you say?

And then! Oh yes, then someone suggested we go to Big Boy's. *stabs whoever that person was* I mean, Big Boy's? At nine at night? I was so not up for this, but I wasn't about to be the one who took a dump on my friends' party. So I went.

And we drove down the rode in what I wanted to call at the time "The Crowded Van Of Upbeat Singers Who Enjoy Dirty Hip-Hop & Songs That Bring A Tear To One's Eye And A Bike". I promptly turned off my mind in what I liked to call "The 'Ignoring The Upbeat Singers Who Enjoy Dirty Hip-Hop & Songs That Bring A Tear To One's Eye And Relishing The Angry Sideways Glances Such Singers Receive' Method". And I continued to use this method all the way into the restaurant, where I found a seat near but separate from my friends, closed my eyes to get my contacts back in place, and lowered my forehead gently to the table.

Diana joined me, followed by Sarah, Abby, Alexia, Christine, and... that's it. I ordered what Diana ordered to save brain power, which I had cut the supply off of, and fiddled with my cell phone. As I am normally the one to start up a conversation when the previous topic dies, my friends found themselves disappointed in me and decided to call Lauren. I wasn't paying attention to their giggles and whatnot until I realized that in my hand was the cell phone. They had passed it on to me.

Hesitantly, I brought the phone to my ear. "Hello," I asked, more than said, tentatively. No response. "Hello?"

And then Lauren responded, and I was revived from my zombie mode! I batted away anyone who wanted to talk to her, and I found myself spilling some rather important secrets of my friends. That, I reasoned later, was what friends were for! She surprised me with some rather mean and sarcastic comments, much in the style of myself. Granted, I did relay them to my friends with my own flair ("He can sing with a lisp" became "I was wrong when I said he had no good traits, Sarah. You see, he can sing with a lisp! *complacent stare*"), but she was my inspiration. Ah, Lauren, where hast thou's "holier than thou" attitude gone to?

And then we drove back, and I was myself again. Oh, and today... er, is it twelve yet? If it is, supply a "tomorrow" where I put "today". Anyways, I rode my bike to 7 Eleven. Where I ate an Icee and paid for my friends' snacks. Yeah. Good times.

I don't want to go back to school.

Out.

A Hint of Lime [30 Aug 2005|08:35pm]
[ mood | touched ]
[ music | Javert's Suicide/Les Miserables ]

WHICH TREE DO YOU FALL FROM? )

I am held steadfastly in the clutches of the song "Javert's Suicide" in Les Miserables. I've heard the soundtrack before, but now that I lsiten to the lyrics and the voices it all came colliding together. That song is incredible. Just... wow. I am in awe of Monsieur Mann. Complete and total awe. I am now going to read the book, if only to see Javert's character.

Oh, and by the way, I am a Lime Tree. Kind of accurate, in a way.
