Carpe Diem! ... And parents watching cartoons
My theory about this is that I-
Okay, I know that I just completely stopped midsentence, but I just experienced a somewhat odd moment. I just heard the theme song for the cartoon "Johnny Test" playing from the living room. I assumed it was my brother finally getting his butt off the computer and watching TV instead. So I got up to congratulate him (great role model and stuff, I know), and I just see my mother staring blankly at the cartoon on the TV. Then she looks at me. "Why am I watching this?" she asks quickly, then switches the television channel WAY too rapidly.
Alright then.
Anyway, I think my sudden urge to pull myself out of my depressing/depressed (which seem to go hand-in-hand) state was probably because I had the sudden realization that I was absolutely no fun like that. I was constantly beating myself up over things that were completely out of my control. So, in effect, I was also not "carpe diem"-ing... Or seizing the day. Which was my promise to myself.
Ultimately, "life's what you make it", so to speak. (Quoting a certain Disney star here... Can you figure out who?) In a rather morbid way of looking at it- life's pretty darned short. Honestly, you could die any second... A day will never come back. Sometimes, one really needs to take a step back and think: "Is this really important in the grand scheme of things?" "What will I regret more? Doing so-and-so or not doing so-and-so?" ... And the such.
Carpe diem!

Past, Present, Future Me
"Look out, guys! Don't walk into that bench!" *trips over bench*
And today this was me:
"Oh, no! He's choking! Hemlich remover! I mean, maneuver."
And tomorrow, hopefully this is me:
"That's right, I AM awesome. I want to thank everyone, even though they are not responsible for obtaining this Nobel Peace Prize- I am, because I'm just that friggin' awesome."
Or:
"Awww, you had secretly harbored a passionate, undying love for me? That's cool. That's cool."
Or:
"Yes, I DID just spiked the volleyball for our winning point. Yes, I AM awesome. Proceed with the cheering; go on."
Or, uhm, maybe not. As far fetched as it seems, all that COULD happen though. (Possibly.)

Hullo, Mate
I would like a British acccent! I would also like it if I could buy one and transfer it into myself like data on a computer. That's be pretty sweet. Moving to the UK would be an option too, I suppose. I mean, not just to achieve that awesome accent (authentically). No, that's silly. Of course not.
Well... Maybe a little.
Or I could just get a boyfriend with a British accent... :)

Double Sigh
I can't believe I thought nothing would change after I move(d)!
That just goes to show how naive I am... Haha. Uhm I really wish I would stop dwelling on this and move on with my life. But nope. That's me!
It really does feel like a day where everyone is utterfly repulsed by you.
Sigh
I just typed that and now realize that was really, really, really depressing and negative and stuff. Heh.
Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!
~Lauren has only an umbrella between her and the rain. She is drenched.
~Her borrowed black fur boots are soaked.
~Her clothes are soaked.
~She is freezing.
~She is getting sick.
~Her formerly curly hair (which took a long time to do in the morning) gets wet and completely straightens out.
Yay! How fun.

Lip Piercing and Halloween Costume
Then again, today I came down wearing my Halloween costume.
Me: *cough cough* Hey, Mom, this okay?
Mother: Is what okay? *still chopping veggies for dinner*
Me: This. *points at attire*
Mother: What about it?
Me: It's my Halloween costume! Is it okay??
Mother: OH, YOU'RE WEARING YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME??
Thanks, Mom. What's that suppose to imply?
Teacher's Pet? NO WAY!
I was really doing poorly... For me.
The 8th grade my grades (especially math) went up in the beginning of the year. (Perhaps because of my extremely happy mood in being in a relationship? Oh no... Sudden terrifying thought occurring! My grades are affected by my emotions! NOOOO!) Anyway, then my grade went... Down...
Because I suffered a break-up, duh.
And now... GUESS WHO'S BACK, BABY?
Well, if that wasn't obvious enough... And even though that was sort of a rheutorical question... ME! Straight A's, 95% overall average! Heck, yeah! (Though, I'm a little upset that it's no longer a 100% average. Stupid ONE missed homework in two classes.) Luckily, for on-and-off-again overachieving me, I was the only one to get an A on an English test in the entire grade... So that should count for SOMETHING on my grade!!!
So yes... Point is, I am probably now officially the teacher's pet in my English class... Taught by the most difficult teacher in the school, so says all. I mean, he teaches 12th grade AP English. And OF COURSE, 9th grade honors English. Why not, right?
Yep. I am now OFFICIALLY a nerd again. =)
This is so exciting! I just wish random people would stop coming up to me asking "Are you Lauren? Are you the person that got the only A on that test?"
Ehm, what?

Some Mental Vomit
Anyway, some people would not be able to understand or even begin to fathom why people hold grudges... Unfortunately, I am not one of those happier people. Yes, yes, I am a dark, highly mentally unstable child that holds grudges. You would think that after a year, I would be over something. Alas! 'Tis not the case if you were hurt as much as I!
I will never, ever forgive.
Anyway, just saying that hypothically, if your ex was in fact actually at first a "rebound" to the traumatic experience of being rejected by someone else that you fancy and your best friend was crushing on said ex and at first your intention was to approach the ex as a friend as a way to get him and your best friend together and it ended up NOT being that way... Well let's just say that happened. Would it make you in the wrong? Was it karma that said ex dumped you because "you weren't getting anywhere" and "you were ignoring him" and "you act more like friends, so you can still be friends" and you're pretty sure that his best girl friend was jealous and was a main factor in it that pressured him to break up with you? Karma?
Or just what happens?

Oh well! That $20 will go to a worthier cause... Like buying a Pillow Pet. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

87th Post: Unsatisfied?
But, uhm, that's not exactly WHY I am typing this up. I mean... That was a nice surprise.
I must be an extremely odd child considering that I am NOT satisfied with my overall school average of a 95%.
GR! I'm pretty sure if my English average was still a 100 I would at least get my 96%! Although, 97 is a nicer number. It has a nice ring to it. Like 87.

Drama!
Especially old drama. I would rather not drag that around with me. And I especially don't appreciate people that attempt to draw me into old drama too. Such selfish, conceited people. These kind of people need to get lives and do something other than gossip and sneer and whine. Thank you, that is all. :)

Babysitting?
I mean, of course I've looked after little kids in my family and stuff, but this is different... I don't know the parents all that well, except that they are our new neighbors. (Well actually, all the neighbors are new.)
I'm excited. Of course I'll insist on not being paid- it's 30 minutes after all- but it's the thought that counts! I'm pretty nervous too... The kid is cute, but I don't know her all that well. Thank god the other two kids aren't going to be home. (The reason I'm babysitting is BECAUSE the parents are picking up the other two kids.) I think one kid is good for now...
Wish me luck! I'm going soon... In half an hour...
Hope I don't totally mess this up.

There's a Reason for Flags in FLAG Football
I wasn't really hurt... He was more hurt than I was. And he got off immediately and apologized and asked if I was okay over and over. And how could I possibly say I wasn't? Graciously, I accepted his apologies... Plus he was seriously cute. Like, hot....
Haha. :) Teenage girls = hormones.
2, 4, 8- Why did I get home late?
I'm just kidding! :) Obviously I am not at all rah-rah, spirit-y... Though I did go to the game. Blame my friends! OF COURSE I was also wearing a skirt because all my jeans were in the laundry. Therefore, I was freezing my butt off. I was a Lauren-sicle.
It was fun, actually. I had no idea what was going on, BUT I was there with friends, so it was cool. Will I do this again? A definite maybe!
... Shakespeare?
It is FANTASTIC!
And so I have come to the conclusion that I like Shakespeare and classical music.
And screamo, and K-pop, and techno... I suppose that makes me self-contradictory. Which I already knew, of course. Hence, many surprised faces when I explain my strange tastes in music.

PE is your worst nightmare...
Imagine, if you will... There I am, in my stupid PE uniform... First, I end up paired with some other unfortunate schmuck and we have to throw the football to each other.
MY FACE + FOOTBALL = OWWWW!
Also, then my partner found an excuse to leave PE and school early. I get paired up with the teacher of course.
Wow! Could you imagine all the thoughts in the other kids' heads?
What a loser!
Ah, what a day. And of course we were outside, the sun was beating down at full force... And I Hate (yes, a capital "H" is necessary!) tanning!
What fun.

First Day of High School
Feelings: Nervous, excited, dorky, alone, scared, and many many more emotions.
Teachers: My homeroom teacher reminds me of the crazy hippie drama teacher on the show "Victorious". Except my home room teacher wears a dress shirt, so it's all cool. My other teachers seem okay... Though my PE teacher is a little on the heavier side...
Transition between classes: AHHHH SO MANY STAIRS! And so many people! They're tall! NOOOOO! Scary! Otherwise, I have 7 minutes between each class and it feels so nice to walk sort of slowly. :)
Actual classes: Seem quite easy! No more to be said about this subject.
Friends: Uhm, well obviously I don't have like really really close friends, but I did meet some friendly, potential friend people. A list- Beth (9th), Aartie (9th and moved to MD from NJ too!), Ben (9th; moved after 7th grade to MD from NJ; used to go to my Chinese school), Gracie (10th?), Alex (10th? 11th?)... That's about it hehe.
Lunch: WAS DISGUSTING! Did I think that my new school's lunches couldn't possible be as bad as my old school's lunches? Yes... Unfortunately, lunch was even WORSE. I couldn't finish the whole thing because I felt nauseous after half my lunch. I also sat with Aartie and these popular (?) girls (???) that just enjoys talking about making out with guys. Boy-obsessed much? Ha! Why did I sit with them anyway?? At least they were nice, in a air-headed way.
Bus: Only four stops, and only half the bus is full. I sit alone, but I always have anyway!
Anyway all in all, not a bad day I guess.
I really hate having only four periods and having to sit for a whole hour and a half before I can move on to the next class!
So yeah, my school schedule rotates in an AB day cycle, so of course tomorrow is like ANOTHER first day of school. JOY!

Ways to Bug Your Parents
Best way to do it: Shout out "HEY BUSTER!" at your dad, then hide. Watch the confusion on his face. Watch the irritation overtake the confusion. Watch yourself get in trouble. Remember to yell that you have to go to the bathroom as soon as he yells, so you can comfortably laugh on the toilet seat.
Waffles, Pink Nail Polish, and DUCK DUCK GOOSE!

And uhm well I am in Arizona, but will leave soon to go back home... Er well my other aunt's house.
There I will stay for a while until it is MARYLAND TIME. Yey.
So right now my nails are pink?? My kid cousin decided she would paint my nails. Each day I saw her. I have layers of pink sparkles on my nails now.
I love playing Duck Duck Goose with all 6 of my cousins! Especially considering that one is a college graduate, two are college students, and two are middle schoolers. You would think this great game idea was my little cousin's. (The cousin mentioned above that painted my nails.) It was my idea.

West Side Story
So, the actress for Anita had been injured at some point and I saw the understudy at work. The understudy was pretty good actually!
Then, the alternate actor for Tony performed. (It was the original one's day off.) Apparently, the alternate was better than the original.
Then, of course, the ever-lovely Maria was played by Josefina "Something" (forgot her last name). Anyway, she was trained as an opera singer, and she was just PHENOMONAL!
The whole performance was fantastic. The dancing was amazing, the orchestra perfect, the singing on pitch and WOWING, and the acting was lovely.
I would totally give this six stars out of five.
I even got the signature of the actress for Maria on my playbill!! We caught her outside the theatre after the show! YEAH!
Credit to Taylor
If I didn't say this, some friends (ie: TheSillyObservor) would be very, very mad at me.
Though he really did do pretty well! ... Much better than Kristen Stewert, at any rate.

Eclipse: Third Movie of the Twilight Saga
In my case, I went to the midnight premier of Eclipse last night with a friend. (She had invited me.) Though not a big fan, I still managed to enjoy the experience. After all, the visual effects in the movie were great, while the action sequences were exciting.
Anyway, the acting was not bad... Though in my opinion, Kristen Stewart (who plays Isabella/Bella Swan) and Rob Pattinson (who plays Edward Cullen) canNOT act. They're acting was horrible and made me wince throughout the whole movie. Rob certainly has improved in acting, but Kristen just sucks. She definitely has Bella down appearance-wise, but I really don't care for her voice and attitude that she embodies Bella as.
Also, the previous actress for the antagonistic vampire Victoria was no longer a part of the cast; which was truly a shame as she, in my opinion, was the perfect actress for the role. Then new actress that plays the part of the revenge-driven-crazy vampire has the look right (they look like they could be sisters), but her attitude does not fit the character quite as well as the old actress. I really can't give her too much trash-talk though, because those are hard shoes to fit and in her own way, she had done well as Victoria.
The movie had a few funny moments, a few heartbreaking moments, and was truly just an entertaining watch, despite the few things that I have nitpicked at.
Also, (excuse my typical teenage, hormone-controlled behavior) but I liked watching the actors for the characters Riley (evil vampire Victoria's puppet), Alec (evil vampire from the royal Volturi coven), and Seth (15 year old new werewolf in the Quilete tribe). Riley and Alec were just HOT, while Seth was so cute (both in human and wolf form), I felt an intense urge to just jump into the screen and hug him to death.
Okay, now why don't guys like this exist in MY world? Darn you, lucky Bella!

Out and About
Tomorrow I am going to my friend's house to stay the night because we are.... GOING TO THE MIDNIGHT PREMIER OF ECLIPSE!
No, I don't really like Twilight all that much. But heck, it'll be fun anyway. (Team Riley all the way!!) I'll act like a crazed fangirl or it's fun to make fun of the movie too. :) Can't wait!

Your Love is My Drug and Echoes
I am happily typing on my new laptop. :)
Your love, your love, your love is my drug! That song really brings back memories of a line from Twilight, something about Bella being Edward's exact, preferred brand of heroin. I knew there was a problem with Edward. He's a druggie fairy. I do love that song though!
My house makes amazing echoes because it is completely empty. ECHO ECHO ECHO!
My Life is Average
Here are a few MLIA stories:
- Today was Cougar Day at my school (our mascot is a cougar) and every girl walked around hitting on younger guys. Including teachers. MLIA
- Today, we got our yearbooks at school. My math teacher walks up to me and asks to see my cell phone. Thinking she's just kidding around, I hand it to her. She then turns around and continues her way down the hall. When I asked why she told me to check page 33. Apparently, there's a picture of me in the yearbook texting while in math class. MLIA
- Today I got out of bed, didn't bother to put on makeup or do my hair and went out for a nice jog at 2 in the afternoon. I ran by the same guy I see everyday who never bothers to talk to me. As I ran by him, he pauses and says, "You look gorgeous today". MLIA
- Today, I had to go to the emergency room for severe pains in my stomach. The doctors gave me morphine for the pain, then let me sit for about 20 minutes before wheeling me off to do a CT scan. I don't remember most of what happened. However, my mother now has a 17 and a half minute video of me singing a medley from the musical "Les Miserables," interrupting myself 4 times: twice to laugh randomly, once to look pitiful and ask for a blanket, and once to grumpily demand a glass of water. Oh, morphine... MLIA
- Today, I had to deliver a paper to my old teacher. As I was leaving, I said, "I'll see you tonight!" to which he replied, "I can't wait. I'm looking foward to it!" His class looked at me with such suprise. What they didn't know was that we were talking about a chorus concert to which he is chaperoning. MLIA
- Today I got a text from my friend. It was a creepy picture of her eyes and the message read "I'm always watching you. Always." I was on the toliet when I read it. MLIA
- Today in math class, we were taking a final and our told us if we didn't bring anything to write with, we failed the test. My friend forgot a pencil, so she did her test in eyeliner.(: MLIA.
Whoo! =)

Graduation Song
Anyway, so this song is Pyramid by the ever-talented, rising star Charice Pempenco. It's so sweet and I'm gonna cry whenever I hear this song! (Which is a problem because I love, love, love this song and keep replaying it.)
I actually loved Stardust's (this "special" chorus class that my music/choral teacher Mr. R teaches. The thing is, I think he's a pedophile. Plus, the members aren't all that good. I mean a few are SUPER TALENTED but some of them can't really sing all that well. They try to copy pop artists' singing style, but it just fails because it's like they can't be original! Plus Mr. R's arrangements sometimes just suck.) arrangement for Pyramid! They turned it into an acoustic guitar version, which sounds like it would just KILL the song, but it made it oddly even more emotional. Also, they change the beggining lyrics from:
Shawty's love is like a pyramid (ooh)
We stand together till the very end (eh ooh)
There'll never be another love for sure (ooh)
Iyaz and Charice let we go...
To:
Our love is like a pyramid (ooh)
We stand together till the very end (eh ooh)
There'll never be another love for sure (ooh)
Class of 2010 here we go...
So that it just fits graduation perfectly! Otherwise, this is obviously originally a love song. ;P
Graduation: A New Door Has Opened
I would like to take credit for piecing together the idea of graduation and the quote above, but I actually stole it from one of the student speeches during the graduation ceremony, heehee.
Honestly, I think that's definitely true and applies to many situations in life.
But anyway, yes today was my last day of school in this town (and state) EVER. First, I was in shock at school. Then it hit me later in the afternoon at the graduation ceremony, and I cried so much. It's weird, but no one has ever seen me cry until now. So yes, this proves that I AM human. :)
I'm kind of at loss for words. I don't really wanna get all emotional because I don't really want to start the waterworks again! So, at this very moment, my parents are setting up air mattresses and such because our beds have been packed away with all our other belongings. In fact, the house is pretty darned empty, with just this table that my laptop is on right now and the little stool I am seated on. It's cool that since it's so empty, it ECHOES. I think that if I wasn't on this laptop, I would probably be playing with the echo-y noises. Heh.

I Don't Appreciate Rudeness
This happened to me a few times today.
A minor incident was one of those awkward moments when you see someone you don't talk to from your school OUTSIDE of school. Everyone must recall a moment such as this one, right? The moment when your eyes meet... The surprise, the shock, the utter uncomfortable-ness? Obviously in this moment, it's nice to greet the other person. OBVIOUSLY. Just, ya know, common knowledge and proper ettiquette. Yet, this girl just completely ignored me when I said a tentatively friendly, "Hello!" Rude-o-meter (from 1-10, 1 being the lowest): 6
Another moment? When I was trying to get one of my teachers to sign a petition for something. She just completely ignored me even though we were the only ones in the hallway. Maybe she is hard of hearing? Maybe she is mad at me for not getting her an end-of-the-year present? Rude-o-meter: 5
Finally, the moment to top all moments! Those of you who have been in a relationship know the awkwardness between an ex. Heck, even if you haven't experienced this yourself, you can probably imagine it! Picture if you will: I, along with four other of my band friends, were in the bandroom for 6th, 7th, and 8th periods. There we were, helping the band teacher (who is, by the way, the best teacher EVER) clean the room and prepare it for next year. Enter ex-boyfriend and his best girl friend. AWKWARD. Being the kind person I am, I brightly exclaim, "Hi!" along with my friends. His best girl friend (who all my friends suspect of liking my ex) says hi, even to me. Oh yes. But the ex... He says hi to everyone BUT me. I am totally ignored when I say something to him later as well. Ironic, isn't it, that the night before, I was the one who told him that the band teacher would be present. That I would be present as well. Yes, he responded the night before on a text, yet apparently is too chicken to talk to me face to face. Rude? Very. Rude-o-meter: 9
If anybody reads this blog besides myself and (occasionally) TheSillyObserver, I welcome you to share a rude moment and rating it. Sometimes, it feels better to vent it out.
A Few Final Words
The cons of moving?
-I'll miss my friends, duh!
-It ended a perfectly good relationship for me
-Starting over
-BORING IN MARYLAND
The pros of moving?
-Making new frineds
-Since I haven't known all the people since like kindergarden (like where I live now), I have come to the psyche that it would make it easier to find the right guy. Because it's weird to be dating a guy that you have known since you guys were in diapers or something.
-Starting over
-New adventure!
So... Yeah. I'm sad to be leaving, but excited to see a new place. It's like a new story is about to unfold. Yes I am aware that I am corny/cheesy; but honestly, this situation calls for a little of the cheese.

Why is it...
~ That disgustingly greasy, bad food is just so delicious?
~ That the sky is the color blue? Why not pink? Or purple?
~ That when you tell people that you are moving, either they suddenly realize that you exist or that they try to forget that you exist?
~ That fried frog legs and crocodile nuggets taste like chicken?
~ That I am so L-A-Z-Y?
~ That my foot fell asleep on me?? Come on foot! You need to help me walk to the bathroom!
~ That it's so hard to wake up at 6:30 in the morning on school days, but on weekends, I easily wake up at exactly 6:25?
~ That I (rather geekishly) find World of Warcraft entertaining?
~ That boys' lives revolve around video games??
I don't get it.
Ignorance Is Bliss... Not
You play the victim very well
You build yourself indulgent hell
You wanted someone to understand you
Well be careful what you wish for because I do
You've got a fancy turn of phrase
You set your trap
You made your plays
You're so fond of games
You must never lose

The graduation party itself was great too! It was a party that my friend from Florida held at her aunt's house. (She had come to visit.) Yummy food! Besides eating and swimming, we also gathered around a fire and listened to our guy friend play the guitar. It was very homey and comforting...
We were going to make s'mores too, but the host decided that we had had way too much sugar anyway. (We giggled at EVERYTHING. That's a sign that you have a sugar-high.) Oh well!! At least the cake was lovely and sugary and the burgers juicy and fresh off the grill!

World of Warcraft... Gah
WE FINISHED ERES TU MARIA YESTERDAY WHOO!
Okay.. Now that THAT'S out of the way. Wow, today I felt so cool. I finally gave in and played World of Warcraft. With my ten year old brother instructing me around of course. (This has been an ongoing way between me and my ex about whether World of Warcraft or Pirate of the Caribbean Online is the better game.) Unfortunately, World of Warcraft is not the devil-incarnate like I had hoped... It's actually okay. Still, Pirates Online beats all! Because, come on - it's PIRATES!

Even MORE Testing??
What else to say? Ah well it's a gloomily rainy day. But I just had some lovely rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes for a snack! Because, yes, I enjoy having an extra-meal-like snack after school every day. I think it's probably better than stuffing yourself at dinner, because after dinner you go to sleep and your metabolism slows down. So it's unhealthy and you gain weight.
Well you probably knew that; just wanted to clarify!
Relationship Rant
So I did the logical and smart thing. (But not really..) I announced on Facebook that I was over him. My responses were pretty funny. (He was like: "About effin' time!" His best girl friend was like: "THAT'S A LIEEEE!!!" And I made up a bunch of stuff. People are very easy to manipulate and fool.)
Well obviously I'm not over him though I should be... It's been what?? Five months?? Yes I am a loser.
Anyway it makes it easier. I'd rather leave on a positive note with these peeps before I move.

Me: Uhm... I'm like 85 pounds! *hides*
Anushka: OMG. Ya know, technically, a sumo wrestler could eat you.
Steven: So could Michael Phelps.
Thanks guys. Gosh, I love my friends.
Oh that happened on the band trip to Six Flags. Did I mention that both the band and chorus won first place in the Six Flags contest? Yeah. We're just that awesome.

Mental Vomit :)
Nah.
I've just been lonely. Not particularly lonely in general, but lonely as in I miss Michael...
What a buttface! Do guys even realize how bad they make gals feel? How come HE'S okay and partying (literally. Why wasn't I invited??) and I'm still feel exceptionally (excuse my language) crappy? Now, that is just not fair. Then again, as our mothers always say- life isn't fair. Get over it Lauren!
But besides this random loneliness, I've been pretty satisfied with life. Or rather, content. I'm excited- I'm going to Six Flags on Friday again, this time a chorus trip. Fingers crossed that we win first place and the Esprit de Corps award!
Also, I am now the proud owner of a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen! Aka... Nail polish pen. Yes, so I am happily tap-tapping away on the keyboard right this instant with silver and black tiger striped painted nails that I proudly did myself! It's been a while since I've really paid attention to my nails. (Last year around the beginning of school, I was having a nail art craze. Black nails with lime green polka dots... Black with purple stripes... Hahaha!) Maybe I should get into the manicurist proffession?? Unfortunately, that may also include PEDICURES, and ehem excuse me but I'd rather not touch other people's feet... I have germ issues. I'm a germaphobe, thanks. Hand sanitizer as much as possible! (Preferably a Bath & Body Works scented hand sanitizer bottle, too.)
Hm so I got Sims 3 on Monday as well. (Now [prepare to cringe at my geekiness...) It is fantastic! The graphics are amazing... And the multiple creation options are just ENDLESS. I can make a crazy goth sim marry a dream guy... It's all good! I admit, sometimes I will make a virtual me and make an awesome dream guy to go with me... Yes, I'm a loser. But I'm sure I'm not the only one that does that, like seriously! I also enjoy making virtual versions of people I strongly dislike and then kill off the sim. There are seriously so many ways to kill a virtual character... It's very helpful in times of emotional unstableness and angst.
So this whole post goes to show... That I am a complete nerd/loser/hopeless/emo/sortaspazzzyy/bored person.

In Perspective
Also, I guess I seemed to have changed alot. For example, I guess now I am slightly more sarcastic... As well as impulsive. And then there's also the huge change in me: I'm a lot less... Hm how to put it? ... Less bound by the rules. Not just like school rules, parent rules, laws or whatever. Just that I let loose a little. I suppose I was a little more uptight a while ago. Like just two years ago actually. It's actually quite... Amazing if you think about it. Maybe the inner change was brought about by becoming wiser as time went on. (Sure, cheesy I know... But it's obviously true.) Then again, I guess I just became more comfortable in this world. (There is also the fact that my moving date looms closer and closer. Perhaps knowing that I will be uprooted from my currant life makes me want to enjoy life all the more.)
Even though I've only been in existance for 14 years (ack.), I've been through quite a bit. Whoever said that the younger generations have it easier was dreadfully wrong. I don't believe that we children/teens/young people (ha) have it much harder, but I also don't claim that we have easier lives. We just are. In other words, I suppose everyone cries, laughs, smiles, and hurts through life, just as much as any other person. We've all been through our own emotional trauma and joys, though none of our experiences are even remotely the same. Feel free to disagree, but that is my view on this...
Personally, the last three years of my life were pretty special. I really changed mentally, emotionally, and even physically (but that comes with puberty, rofl). Middle school is just a turning point of my life. A transition, I suppose. And I just can't wait for the rest of my life to come. Like all other people, I would not hesitate to freeze time as it is and sustain this contentedness that I feel at this point, yet I want to move on too. There's a lot more in store for me in life- I can just feel it.
It's strange how about a year ago- not even, maybe a few months ago- I was ready to just give up on life because of all the hardships that it's put me through. (I admit that life started to bear down on me. I became.. I suppose, suicidal. Please don't yell at me for this.) Now, my life is honestly being put into perspective. I refuse to give way to life. I want to live it and not run away from it by using death. That would, in my opinion, make me weak. Or rather, establish my cowardice to the world. I would be one of the many that could not bear the weight of the world. I want to be strong. (Who doesn't?) Rather than running away from the difficulties, I embrace them.
I've had my share of harsh obstacles and miracles and love and hate and joy and anger. And a fair amount of sorrow. I'm not mad at the world. Instead of viewing my move to Maryland like I was descending into Hell, I think I will simply accept it. No- that seems passive. How to put it? I suppose I will enjoy life as the wind takes me. Why fight the currants in the air? I'd rather soar through the horizon on the air thermals. I can't wait to see where life takes me.

Dress???
Unfortunately I just went to the mall yesterday. It escaped my mind to find a dress... So I will have to wait a while before I'm allowed to the mall again... Wahhh!!!
How come everyone bought a dress already?? It's in two months people!!! PRESSSUREEEEEEE!!!!

For Sale?
Oh and do rude people realize that they are rude? It's strange... Because maybe they don't. Hence their reoccurring rude-ness.
Oh and here's a project that I did for social studies involving the ever-lovable and yummyy marshmallow peeps!
I did John Reid, Joh Brown, and Sugar's voice! Haha my accents rock... But not really. :)
Here's some bloopers...

Sheet Music!
Okay well it's not copyrighted or anything and I don't plan to get it copyrighted. SHARE THE MUSICAL LOVE!! Here's the flute duet for "Somewhere" by Within Temptation! (Remember to turn off the music on the playlist before you listen to this, lol.)
I imagine that you can transpose that to piano or something, right?
I also have another, it's a 2 flute and piano arrangement, for the song "Tomorrow" by 4tomorrow. It's not quite finished yet.
Uhm I guess this goes without saying, but if you don't know the original songs for these two, look them up. Derrr. Lol. Right. Posting it now.
Thanks!
But anyway wanted to thank TheSillyObserver!
For uhm dealing with my random emo-ness, my randomness, my random boredness, and whatnot lol. I miss you too!!!
But anyway. Life goes on.
I should consider switching my mindset to a more optimistic outlook. Uhm. If that were possible.
ANYWAY.
Enough with the drama! It's spring break! Yey! ^-^
Went to Maryland for a few days to go house hunting (weee). For once it was NOT raining or snowing while I was there. Maryland actually doesn't look gross when it's sunny out. :) (No offense to those Marylanders out there. I salute you!!)
Hum I need to start my painting for my project. Procrastination...
THE ENTER KEY IS MY FRIEND.
I need to spend less time on the computer.
Peace! Love! I think I'm going to change the color scheme of this blog so that it's a little less depressing heehee.

Yoooo people of the world!
Okay, don't people have other things to do rather than rag on and on about me (and a certain other person I refuse to mention)?
Life doesn't revolve around dating and guys (or girls); sorry to break it to ya folks.
OMG the talent show auditions are tomorrow! I'm singing "Is It True" by Johanna and I assure you that I has no connection to my life gosh. I just love the song! Wish me luck!
My story for AEP totally freaked out the people in my class and the other AEP class. Yey for me, sucks for them. :) (And I quote my buddy Hannah S: "It was a bad idea to read it at night.")
Uhm tomorrow is also the day I perform my friends play in front of the class. My character's a total spazz- like me whoo!!!
My brother wants to wear my hair extensions to school Friday for Crazy Hair Day... Uhm, okay, whatever you say.
Ohhh I saw Alice in Wonderland. Awesome movie! Johnny Dep rocked, as usual. 3-D movies rock!
I need a life. :)
OMG BOO EMO-NESS
And maybe lose the ghetto-gangstah-ness too. Hm

Life Sucks
My ex boyfriend is frankly, an ass.
Some people who were my friends really aren't.
Rumors and gossip are petty and it annoys me how involved people get in those. It's silly; grow up.
Just because you have a guy friend doesn't make you cool. It doesn't make you more grown up. Get over it and solve situations more maturely.
One of my friends is in the hospital.
All my friends are drifting away.
Or maybe they just never were good friends in the first place?
The friends that were truly my friends are gone.
I'm moving in three or four weeks.
Hip
Hip
Hooray
Lalala LAUREN LAND
I'm listening to Owl City right now. Okay, Mad, you got me. They're actually not bad. Though Fireflies is over played. xP
Today I'm going to visit a friend in the hospital... Um. I can't tell you why she's there, but she's not on the brink of dying, in case anyone was worrying. Actually I gotta go right now. I'm gonna buy her stuffed animal so she doesn't feel lonely or something. :)

Nailpolish and Gruesome Stories
I'm writing a story for AEP that is really... Well I can't find the word to describe it. Here, read some: (Tell me whatcha think...)
The corpse twitches once more and pulls me down. Get up Nessa, get up! Try as I might, the corpse is stronger and pulls me closer, clutching me in a bloody embrace as the other corpses twitch to life and onto me, descending upon me with the angry song pulsing within them. The white fear dances with the song, as the doubt screams along. Every cell of my body vibrates with the harsh melody, attempting and failing to block out the sound. I open my mouth to scream once more, but more red comes rushing out. Everything is no longer a bright red, but a horrifying bloody black. Onyx and ruby intermingle, harmonizing with the song, until everything is dark once more.

Beatboxing... I Kid You Not
Don't believe me? Just ask this guy.
He = my new idol. I tried doing it, and I did it baybee!! Well not on a song quite as difficult as this one but whatever... We start out small, and work our way up right?
And it's possible to make an instrument similar to a flute out of a carrot.
I kid you not.
It's called an ocarina....

... Y'all...
I miss drama now... Grrr. I hate going on the bus. Like seriously, the people on my bus have nothing interesting to talk about. And nothing remotely appropriate to a delicate mind such as mine... (Me = Not so delicate but whatever.) Some info is just too much, people!
Ahhh I have a litarary analysis due tomorrow... Not even close to done... Oh well. There is no way in heck that I will be able to finish in time. I'm gonna go sleep. Nighty-night, y'all!
And yes I said "y'all". ;)

Attempted Poetry Turns Into Rant Session
I am excited and scared.
In 23 hours I will have to face my stupid ex-boyfriend AGAIN
I am fairly frustrated.
In two days I will see an old friend again...
I am DELIGHTED. (That wasn't meant to sound sarcastic.)
In a few months I will move to Maryland...
I will angrily protest and tie myself down to a tree so I don't need to move.
In a few months I will graduate middle school..
Joy, high school.
In a few months I will start over...
Yay. Not.
In three days I have a literary analysis due...
Which I should really start.
This was meant to sound sort of poetic, but it really doesn't. Oh well, if I must complain, I shall complain with multiple 'enter' key presses. HOORAY FOR PARAGRAPHS THAT DO NOT CORRELATE TO ONE ANOTHER IN ANY WAY!

.... ADAM IS HOTT
The title will make more sense when you read the rest of this post...
On Friday, I had an unexpected invitation. "For what?" you may ask. Why, only to a concert featuring the four most amazing bands EVER. That's right. A Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin concert, with the opening act being Flyleaf! (If you dont' know these bands, I highly suggest you look them up. Then, you'll build them a shrine and begin worshipping them. That is, if you love heavy rock with a little bit of screaming.)
This invitation was unexpected because one of my friends was going. Her whole family of four was going actually. But then her dad decided that the concert was going to be a little inappropriate for her dear brother in third grade. (Good thinking too, because Ben Burnley and Adam Gontier enjoy dropping the F bomb randomly. Both in their songs and when they were addressing the screaming crowd.) So my friend had an extra ticket to the concert and since they didn't want the ticket to go to waste (really really expensive because these are popular bands. Even if you haven't heard of them, trust me on this!)... Guess who got the extra ticket... ME!!!! Whoo! That night was probably one of the better nights of my life. =)
The only complaints I have are:
- The couple next to me were more into each other than the bands. It looked like they were cannibalizing on each other's faces. That is, until the girl's dad came back from the bathroom (he was in there for a loooong time) and scolded her.
- The cotton candy man is horrible at posing for pictures. Well, at least I got to eat cotton candy at a rock concert.
- The three high school boys in front of me were obnoxious. If I wanted to wave my cellphone in the air like everyone else, I would do that myself. I don't need a 16-year-old moron telling me to.
- The three high school girls in front of me looked like they belonged at a strip-club in Vegas. It's called "clothes", girls. Oh, and getting drunk while looking like a hooker at a rock concert full of drunk guys is a good idea.
- The pretzels were too salty. It literally looked like they had just decided to add an extra salt layer on the pretzel.
- Barfing in public bathrooms is disgusting. Don't do that in sinks, folks. At least get to the toilet before it all spills out. Then we can at least flush it down. (Another reason to NOT DRINK.)
- Oh and why are band T-shirts so dang EXPENSIVE? The world may never know.
I complain alot. Clearly. But at least the concert rocked. And Adam Gontier, the lead singer of Three Days Grace? HOT. Unfortunately, he is married. I'll stick with Michael I guess...

Friday, February 5, 2010
Anyway, uhm, er, had a field trip at school today. We went to a university and saw a play about the Civil War. Fun stuff.
Not.
It was only about an hour long but it was sooooo boring.... I mean don't get me wrong, the acters were awesome, but it just wasn't my type of play.
Plus I was sitting with none of my friends, so that just adds to the boringness. Sitting next to the witchy popular girls is NOT fun.
Uhm and last night I stayed up until one in the morning working on a math project that I handed in today... And of course I woke up at six as usual. So I had only about five hours of sleep. Isn't that ridiculous?? I think I'm turning into an insomniac. However, I wasn't tired at all today. In fact, I was completely wide awake. Is this bad??
Omigosh I haven't blogged in so long, I don't really know what to say...
Oh heyy Chinese New Year is coming up... Tomorrow was supposed to be my Chinese school's Chinese New Year party. The mayor and other important people come to watch the Chinese New Year performances that my school hold. My class, unfortunately, decided to do a fashion show... Me + Catwalk = EEK! Thank god my teacher isn't making me wear high heels... Or I will surely trip.
Oh but what was I saying... Oh tomorrow there is supposed to be a huge snow storm, so Chinese school is cancelled and the party is postponed until February 20th. Thank god!
Oh and what am I wearing for the fashion show? These images are the closest things I could find to my items... They are not the exact ones, but you get the jist of it. (Or is it gist? Hmmm...)
For the last one, disregard the rest of the clothing on the mannequin. It's just the grey half-sweater thingy.
By the way, don't you just hate when you want to text someone but they won't text back?? That's what's happening to me right now!!!
Right, okay, I'm done spazzing out now.... Aloha! (In the good-bye sorta way.)

Don't Trust Eighth Graders With Fire
I'm not sure what to say at the moment, but I feel like blogging, so mwah! =D
I think I may copy my friend (The Silly Observer)'s last post format... Since I just read that post, and I feel inspired to type up my own thoughts on the subjects that she touched on. =)
So what am I doing in Science? Well several weeks ago, we conducted an experiment to observe physical and chemical changes. So of course we.... ROASTED MARSHMALLOWS! With hot plates! Not kidding!! We even got to eat them!! I used to think my science teacher is a completely boring and dull with zero creativity for her lessons, but as this experiment shows, she does have a somewhat interesting side. Hehe, we even got to eat the marshmallows... My friend Kristen's marshmallow caught on fire though. Oops.
And on Friday, we had another experiment in which we observed the decomposition of water. So we hooked up a beaker of water and sodium hydroxide (I think...) to a battery pack thingy, and performed electrolysis on the solution to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The said hydrogen and oxygen were contained in syringes... And you'll never guess what my teacher entrusted us to do...
She had us light matches and light a splint, and put the flame or glowing splint into the syringes containing hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen-filled syringe made a pleasant popping noise (like a popping balloon for example) when we put the flame inside and the flame went out. As for the oxygen... Well obviously we didn't put a flaming splint in THAT. (That would have been stupid, even for us lil' eighth graders.) No, we put a glowing splint (think glowing coal, like not on fire but glowing...) in the syringe with the oxygen and kept relighting the flame.
It was awesome.
But dangerous. Who trusts psychotic eighth graders with matches? Apparently my science teacher. I was slightly frightened by my classmates, but I'm sure they were scared of me whenever I lit the matches... I'm sort of a pyro, lol.
As to The Silly Observer: Do those friends that think they're in love include me? HAHAHA
Ooooh I'm totally hooked on two K-pop songs that just came out.... I will post videos at the end.
Anyway, uhmmm.... Wow Saturday I was practicing a dance with my friends, and then I tripped and fell... My whole right side of my body is completely bruised. I limp now lol. And then of course today, I walked into a wall, releasing a new wave of pain. o.e Ouch.

Shout-Outs and Random Rants
TO The Silly Observer- AJ or RJ? Because Elyse and I were talking about that and if it's RJ... Every considered that RJ could equal RRJ (as in reader response journal). So this is what Elyse said: "What if you said that you were doing 'RRJ homework'..." LOL her words, not mine!
TO Saph- DUDE omg I don't even remember who "he" is. Axel right?
TO Kendara- We need to do more of those dances. After Chinese school, maybe? =)
TO Twi- If you're annoyed by my constant talking about Michael, then just tell me! I mean, I understand. You just seem like you want me to randomly burst into a rant.
TO Val- I realize that there are other countries out there that have farm land or/and are less fortunate than we are in the US, thanks. I'm not that self-absorbed, unobservant, and shallow thanks. I mean, I'm not like Sierra. I am highly globally aware.
TO people in Haiti- I hope you guys get along and get the aid that you need to survive through this tragedy. My heart goes out to you.
TO Mrs. W in Art- I don't think people are actually willing to bid on wooden painted hearts that a bunch of 8th grade art students made. Even if the money goes to Haiti. Wooden hearts are just not that desirable.
TO Mrs. B, my principal- Why did you yell at Mrs. Maio? She did nothing wrong. TYLER was the one that flipped off on her and ran out of the classroom. Mrs. Maio was not to blame. I mean, she couldn't chain Tyler down, could she?
TO Tyler- Stop being such an a**h*** to teachers. They want to be here just as much as we do. And even if they want to be at school, they went for the job to teach. Mostly for our benefit. Just stfu Tyler. You're not cool!
TO Will L.- Accept Stayla's FB friend request. Seriously, she bothers me about it every day. I don't want to talk to you because you're annoying and weird, so just accept it and move on!
TO Aqua- Are you sure you don't like Michael anymore? I still feel horrible.
TO Michael- Okay, seriously stop blowing me off by lying. I hate liars. Just frickin tell me it to my face so I can openly blow up on you. Do you like me or not? You said you did. You said you loved me even, so what the heck is your problem? Or have you just been lying all this time?
TO Dad- Stop yelling, I can hear you.
TO Mom- I want the new Reader's Digest! FINISH READING IT SO I CAN!
Okay, I'm good. Hope that was entertaining! =)

Grounds for Sculpture
This one is actually really tiny and was hidden among bushes on a trail through these trees next to a treehouse type building. I loved this one, because it was so perfect, and TINY!
This one we walked by, and since it is winter, the trees around it had no leaves and such. The water was also ice, and some snow that refused to melt still lay around. This one is really impressive, because it's huge, and when you walk past a dense area of trees, this one is like BAM all of a sudden there!
This one is a life-size recreation of a famous painting, but with a few tweaks. For example, if you look closely, one of the members of this party is actually a sculpture of J. Seward Johnson, who of course, was not in the original painting.
So, that concludes my enormous novel of a post! Since you have only seen 3 out of around 250 sculptures from the Grounds for Sculpture here, I really recommend that you look some up. Or even better- take a trip to the Grounds for Sculpture! Even if you live far away, the trip will be worth it. =)
I really do recommend that you go during spring or summer. Or fall. Anytime besides winter, because it's mostly outside and YOU WILL FREEZE TO DEATH! And also, there are some fountains and special sculptures that only go out in the spring/summer. I missed those. =( Hopefully, you will not! Adios for now!

Break-ups Suck
Apparently it's better being "just friends"... Ugh, and "if that doesn't work out, maybe we can just go out again". Direct quotes.
Uh huh definitely. Some people are a tiniest bit naive. Not naming names.
That's okay though... I'll make sure being "just friends" "doesn't work out". I have plenty of opportunities this week actually! ;)
I was crying all day... But I'm done crying, and time to bounce back and get to work!
OMFG HUZZAH!!!!!!
I HAD ANOTHER CONVERSATION WITH MY MOM (QUITE SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE, WHICH I HAVE POSTED IN AN OLDER POST, WHICH YOU MAY WANT TO READ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY OR YOU'LL BE REALLLLLYYYYYY CONFUSED).
I ASKED OUTRIGHT IF SHE DECIDED....
AND IT'S A YESS!!!!!
THOUGH SHE SAID TO TAKE IT SLOW FIRST AND BE FRIENDS FIRST. BUT WE'RE FRIENDS ALREADY DUH SO YEAH. I MEAN SHE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW HOW THAT WE'VE BEEN GOING OUT...
OMIGOSH I HOPE SHE DOESN'T READ MY BLOG, I MEAN I GUESS SHE DOESN'T REALLY CARE THAT I HAVE A BLOG SO SHE DOESN'T CHECK IT SO IT'S ALL GOOD I GUESS.
OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OFF TO CELEBRATE WITH A FEAST OF MY STASHED CHOCOLATES!!!

Mental Vomit ~SAVARDISM~
Today at school, we had an assembly during 1st period (which I hate missing because it's Art class, and I would really like to finish my painting of a hummingbird, wolf, and such.) on... THE DDR FUNDRAISER! Omigosh, I love DDR! I used to be absolutely obsessed with it, and would play it every day all day (aside from the time spent doing homework, eating, etc.). I mean I still love it, but I'm so out of practice, I'm really excited about this fundraiser because it's pretty motivational for continuing my obsession. Lol.
I honestly don't understand the fundraiser though! Basically, in order to raise money, we beg relatives and friends' parents for money so that we play DDR, but even without raising money, you're allowed to play DDR on the day that it replaces your Spanish or gym class. Hum, that is begging, isn't it?
Anyway, my boyfriend thinks that maybe we "are more like really good friends because we don't see each other outside of school these days". I mean that's true, but are "really good friends" thinking about kissing each other? Not that I know of. And anyway, he knows that we can't really go out much because of my parents' "no dating until 18 rule". (Yes, stupid I know.) But I hopefully changed it... Because yesterday I had a talk with my mom about changing the rule.
Basically it went:
Me: Hey Mom, uhmmm.... Can we uhhhh.... Talk?
Mother: Sure
Me: Uhmmm privately??
Mother: Uh huh.... OH WAIT! YOU MEAN SO THAT YOUR BROTHER CAN'T HEAR. Okay... *moves to room across from my brothers room* (not effective)
Me: I... Uhhh.... Can we change the no dating until 18 rule??
Mother: WHAT? O.O Uhmmm why?
Me: Because it's silly and it's my last year here (*** I'm moving soon***) and I'd rather live life fully and do everything I wanted to do, or I'll grow old and regret not doing some things.
Mother: Wait why are you asking this though?
Me: Uhm...
Mother: You do know that this rule is place because I don't want a boyfriend or anything distracting from schoolwork right?
Me: Uhmmm yeah but what if the guy, not saying that there is a guy, is more serious than me about schoolwork? Like seriously, what if he is a good influence?
Mother: .... Are we talking about someone in particular here?
Me: .... No.... Maybe...
Mother: Yes. Who?? Do I know him?? I'm assuming it's a him...... o.o
Me: *hides head* ... Michael...
Mother: HA I KNEW IT!!!! *jumps on bed in excitement*
Me: o.o So....
Mother: Well I'll think about it... But only group dates...
Me: But that's not fair to the people coming along. Just regular dates Mom, please? I mean, it's not like I'm going to do anything like.... O.O I WOULD NEVER OKAY.
Mother: Right well... I'll think about it.
Okay well that was basically it. I mean maybe some parts weren't exactly it, but that was essentially it. Though the conversation was much longer, and I even broke down in tears to try to convince her. (Horrible I know, but I really did cry, which somehow went toward my benefit.... Strange.)
I just really don't want to break up with my boyfriend because I'll probably become depressed, etc, etc.... THAT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE I AM VERY EMOTIONALLY-RULED.
I'm a drama queen, thanks.
But anyway, onto a different topic, as I'm sure everyone doesn't wanna hear anymore about my boyfriend problems! (Those problems have been on my mind alot lately....)
HUZZAH!! ON MONDAY THERE IS A PARTNER MATH TEST! Apparently only TWICE in during the whole year, my math teacher lets us do a "partnered assessment". Aka we will be able to do a test with a partner, which I am excited about. Hopefully my partner won't slack off and be one of the idiots in my class that only got in because they cheated and what not. I WANNA RAISE MY MATH GRADE! =D
I. AM. MENTALLY. VOMITTING. (see: Savardism!) Lol! ;)

WAIT THERE IS MORE
Tomorrow is a full day band trip, which I won't be able to go on because it ends after school ends (at around 9 pm or so), and my mom won't let me go because of a Chinese school essay I have to write. Grr. =(
Also, the word of the day is...
HUZZAH!
And it shall stay as huzzah for all other days until I decide on a different day. I'm good now, too much typing a posting! Peace out, girl scouts. ;) Or... if you're a guy... Boy scouts. =)
Geography Bees and STUPID Compromising
But speaking of Derek! He is the best(?) friend of my boyfriend, and funnily enough one of my friends likes him... It's really funny because Derek and UndisclosedFriend are friends, and personally I find it sooo obvious that she likes him! Anyway, my boyfriend, our friend Roma, and I are getting a little exasperated and just want UndisclosedFriend to TELL DEREK THAT SHE LIKES HIM! She's scared to though, understandably as she is aware that Derek likes this other girl... UndisclosedFriend kept asking me who he liked, since she knows I know, and I accidentily told her, which led to this sorta fight with my boyfriend... But then I cleared it up and lied to her about it.
I really hate lying. If you know anything about me, you know that I really hate lying to people, especially my friends, but if it's necessary well... I'm gonna be honest and un-modest here and say that I'm a pretty dang good liar. Lol.
Ah, I also forgot to mention that yesterday was that dreaded beginning-mark day in gym... The single most torturous thing known to middle-school-student-kind... That's right folks, you guessed it, SQUARE DANCING UNIT! How in the world do the gym teachers think that square dancing is good for "cooperation"? Basically, the students freak out over who they will be dancing with first. Packs of girls and groups of guys form, opposing each other, sizing each other up. In the girl's minds- Omigod, I wanna dance with [crush's name!], but I don't wanna pick him... Pick me! Omigod, okay I wanna pick him! NO I DON'T! I am obviously not a guy, but I imagine that in their minds, it's like this- When is this over... Holy crap, why is that girl staring at me??
That's about as accurate as I get for a guy's mind.
So after the groups are established, then it's the actual learning the dance moves part! For the scenario of a girl who managed to find a partner that does not suck and she finds acceptable, or likes: The girl guides the guy around, while flirting with him, being generally friendly, and basically sickening. For a girl that ends up with a horrible dance partner that she secretly wants to run away from puking: The girl guides the guy around through the dance steps, keeping as much distance as humanly possible while holding hands doing a promenade. There are also those extreme and unique situations, where the girl absolutely hates her partner and leads him around angrily, attempting to finish as quickly as possible so she can leave and never see her partner again. In fact, that's MY situation!
I hate my partner, and I hate my group. (Besides the girls, because they're more or less my friends.) Anyway it's a long story, so I shall type it all down!
What happened is that in my gym class, my gym teachers finally trusted us and let us pick out groups out ourselves. So of course, that lead to a problem. I have exactly 5 friends in my gym class (they're girls), and counting me that made 6 people. We had to make group of four girls, to be paired up with a group of boys by choice. Well my friend Elyse decided to make a group with her friends Kayla and Rachel, but they needed one more person. So the remaining 5 of us stared at each other, wondering who would be the first to leave or get kicked out and join Elyse's group. (We're a very close group and some of us are a little... Antisocial.) So I had the brilliant idea of playing rock-paper-scissors against each other, and whoever was the only one who won OR lost would go to the other group. Well this idea sucked, since the one who ended up winning against us all was my friend Kristen, who is the shyest of us all and absolutely refused to go to the other group. Then everyone started arguing, and I decided I had enough, and being the good person I am, went to the Elyse's group. Well how was I repayed for my generousity?
Everyone else in Elyse's group picked the group of boys that were literally THE WORST choice ever. The boys' group consisted on one kid that hated me, one that was known for picking his nose, farting, etc. in class, one that was new and clearly did not like me, and one that I barely knew but was verryyy annoying.
Oh and guess who the group that I left got? They got the group that consisted of guys that were mostly my friends, and one which USED to be who I liked (until my boyfriend came along... lol).
I hate being compromising.
