I was hanging out with some great friends yesterday after school, Camille and Peter. We were just walking and chilling, going to the green chair and talking. I had some money so we got some snacks... then Camille had to leave. So we walked back to my place so that she could get picked up. When she got picked up, Peter disbanded and I went inside to make dinner.
When I'm done MAKING dinner, Amy tells me to get ready. "what?" I ask.
"For dinner."
"I just made dinner." o.O
"Oh, but mom's taking me out. You should come with." ^-^
"Oh, OK. DAD, here's dinner." ^u^
We went to Red lobster and I got Shrimp and a lobster tail. It was OK... though I could have made better...
So when i get home, I go on the computer and play WOW for the first time in about 3 weeks!
Later I go on Facebook and chat with Isaac; he's at Brandon's house. Since they're about 5 blocks away, i ask if i can hang out with them (seeing as it's 9:30 on a Friday and I really should get out tonight since I have nothing better to do here.). After the 'thumbs up', I grab a sweater and in about 5 minutes I'm over there. It was pretty cool until 11:30, when my dad asks where I am. We get that figured out that he will pick me up around 12.
I stay til my dad shows up, and I come home and sleep.
I actually had a GOOD dream. this is the second day in a row. :) Usually they're just nonsensical dreams that switch from theme to theme and character to character or just really bad dreams. But this dream was so sweet. :)
This is what I need more often.
but what I want to vent about today is alcohol. Yep, I'm pulling this bugger out of the box...
I don't know why this came up in my train of thoughts, but it seems to be a very opinionated topic. I've heard both sides, so I'm not just venting for no reason; I just want to get some facts straight.
Let's start...
Back a long, long, LONG time ago, people in the Neolithic revolution stopped hunting and gathering and started domesticating and farming. This has NOTHING to do with booze, but a long time ago someone did create the process of brewing beer and distilling vodka and making tequila and all that jazz. It's basically a toxic liquid, poisoning your blood and numbing your senses, but it gave you a good feeling most of the time. Thus, people continued brewing and fermenting.
Now, for those who have a problem with drinking, there are many reasons. One is just plain selfishness, arrogance, and stupidity; they just do it to get drunk and then it becomes a habit. Another reason could be depression, where booze helps get rid of the icky feelings when sometimes really it just makes the problem worse (kind of the same with drugs). Another reason could be that it runs in your family, that your family tree's history has had a problem with booze. What I find funny is the things that come with certain drinks. Like my friend's father, he drinks beer, and he used to drink it A LOT compared to the average person; he wasn't an alcoholic though, don't get me wrong. He understood that it wasn't good for him, so he switched to wine sometimes, until he finally said, "you know what? screw this! I'm just going to cut down on booze."
And he did. He's got less beer in the house and goes out less to get one. When he goes to the bar, he orders a lemonade or just a water, even sweet tea. He takes a break from this once in a while at home, but except for that he's pretty clean. :D I'm so proud of her for supporting him through this; I know it must have been difficult for her.
But, before he quit, he was pretty unfit. He went to the gym almost every morning, but when you drink beer as much as he did, you get a tummy problem. It's called a beer belly, and it's from the fats in beer that stay in your stomach. You've heard of a six pack; try tapping a KEG!
And wine. I know many people who are normally fit and drink wine, but I know many more skinny people who drink wine. I find it pretty funny. :)
Fun Fact
It's been proven that a glass of red wine a day helps your heart, but more than 4 glasses (3 if you have a low blood potency) can increase your chances of getting liver disease and cancers. But, if controlled right, booze can do little to even no damage to your overall health. But to be safe, try to wait til you're 21 to do the really hard liquors, and NEVER overdo it. I can't stress this enough.
I recommend not trying Vodka for your first drink, since I've learned it's hard to tell how much you've had until you've had a little too much. And since it blends in with almost whatever flavor added to it, it's hard to tell how much is in it unless you've measured it out.
Again, sorry for the really touchy topic.
Just had to get it out somehow...
Saturday, October 10
Sunday, October 4
Surprise, surprise... ew!
Well, I was supposed to go to a Band practice on Friday, but I had no ride there and I was already going to go dress shopping for the dance. It was such a cute dress! It was a strapless flirt, black, tight at the top and the mid, and it kind of poofed out at the waist, not like a tutu but still with some body. It went to about a third the way to my knees. :D
And so I get this dress and stay at my mother's. Well, the next morning, my mother leaves to go on this weekend outing with her friends, leaving me with my sister and John at her house. so i get a ride to the game by John, where I have to play pep band. But, since I wasn't at the practice, and I don't know what they're planning for half time, i'm stuck to play with the drummers and the trumpets. And i've got a WOOD clarinet, which is different from the standard PLASTIC Clarinet that everyone else has. So those who have wooden instruments have to carry theirs in their cases when we march so that the rain doesn't damage them. LOL
And then there was the ticket issue...
Oh goody, i get to tell this tale. Well, see, to get into the dance, you have to buy a ticket and have your ID ready. Well, at pep band, i brought my folder with me (the one i use for poetry) so that i could work on this book i'm writing. So i was packing up my stuff and when i come back, my folder's gone! In that folder was not ONLY my poetry stuff, but my TICKET... AND my ID!
So I thought that I just put it in my school bag, which was at home. So i get ready and i go to my bag... no ticket, or ID. So i try to go back to school with John to go to the band room, but when we get there the school is shut down for the day. Completly closed!
I'm freaking out, so i go online and get my schedule so that they know that me is ME, and my dad comes to pick me and Sami up (since she's riding with me), and he helps out at the front desk. So, NOW, we're there.
*phew*
Breathe...
And the dance is so fun! I loved it.
And Sami and Henry and Annie and Bryce and Heather and Chloe and Abby and Nate all hang out in the lobby for our rides. Sami and I eat dinner at Joe Sensor's with Father Michael (the name i call my dad nowadays; my mom is Mother Teresa) :D. lol
Sami sleeps over, we go out for breakfast at Perkins this morning, and now i'm typing my blog.
I'm going to John's family's house today to hang out. We got cookies!
... cookie cookie bored...
So now i'm going to go. Later!

Well then...
This is Spirit week this week,and the funny thing is today's wacky tacky day...
I FORGOT SOMETHING WACKY AND TACKY!! :( And so i just took a sharpie this morning and colored a strand of hair on my left purple and a strand on my right magenta. It's wacky enough for someone who has no creativity or memory to think of something when i'm at my mom's.
Oh, yeah, I stayed at my mother's last night. See, my mother always watches Desperate Housewives and Brothers And Sisters on ABC every Sunday night with her friends. I got into it in 7th grade and watched it ever since. But last night went later than thought out and I stayed at mother Teresa's. :D
But now i'm tired and trying to procrastinate this Assignment in Biology; Biome Report. I'm doing the Tundra, which is quite simple really. It's found in the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, North America, and Russia and contains Lichens, bushes, and sedges. This website i'm researching with is probably half accurate since I'm PRETTY sure there's no penguins in North America or Europe... Imagine a penguin dressed like a Russian folk dancer doing the Kadrille to an Accordian... Hey! lol
I got to admit, that would be pretty cute. :)
But I probably should go work on this. I'll talk to you guys later.
(Later, 6th Hour, 2:39 pm)
GOD!!! I finished the assignment for Hoselton's World History class, but he won't let me turn it in yet because he's being a stupid little butt head. :P HAHA! Take that, silly teacher man...
But, now I have nothing to do but type in here. Maybe i'll write another poem??
Maybe. But for now, I'm in a pickle (yes, dill isn't so sweet). Homecoming's on Saturday, and i'll probably end up going alone because
1) I have no boyfriend to take me (unlike LAST year...)
2) almost everyone i've asked already have dates (like, ACTUAL dates, where they dress fancy and giggle at each other; kind of like crushes. It's really sweet. :D)
3) some that I ask don't even want to go to Homecoming at all
4) I don't really care enough to go around asking every person I walk into like a clown.
So I just hope that I can get a ticket still. I'll probably be able to. I need the money from my dad and then i'll be fine for lunch tomorrow.
Which is Harry Potter day for Spirit Week...
hrm, i need to find a Helena Lovegood costume... CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS??

6th Hour is such a bore today...
It just is, please don't ask.
... I'm stuck in this Sauna of a computer room with nothing to do and a horrible assignment that's too easy for me to even type it out... Oh, and I have an F in this class simply because Hoselton forgot to grade our timeline project (which was a bore also) with flying colors... :P
This class sucks. I have a B in participation, and thats GREAT! Just don't have the assignments... it's a 32% F. if I got the assignment in, it would be a 62.25% D-... That would mak my overall grade a C or a B. but it's NOT!!!
And I know i can be in apush because I was in honors world geography last year with great grades. But i'm learning the same stuff from when I was in YBR at Armatage (Elementary School).
We learned about Mesopotamia and the first start of humans in the 3rd grade class. So why am I being forced to melt my brain again??
:P Well i got to go. We have a minute til the bell rings and i can go home! :D
BYE MY LOVELIES...

tired of this Bull
Yes, i'm a Taurus, so i should take offense to the title, but i don't. YOU KNOW WHY?
Because today was kind of BULL... Just a boring old Monday. We need to jazz things up a little bit; maybe Thursday should be "National Make Someone Feel Uncomfortable" day. :D Total fun.
But speaking of Taurus, my horoscope told me to tke a "me" day; to enjoy my old favorites.
So I biked to Super Usa by my house and bought an Amp, a mexican Coke, and an Oriental Ramen Noodles. Then i made a ramen for dinner and watched family guy. After that i took a long, hot bath. AH, relaxation... ;D nothing better than that.
After that I got in my robe, made a hot cocoa, and posted a blog... So now i will go on WoW for a little while and then go to bed.
NIGHT!

Crepe Recipe
So, you know that sometimes i make crepes for breakfast. Well, i got a few tips on what to add to the mix i have already, which is
1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1tsp butter, melted
But what I add is
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp powdered sugar
And this way it tastes so much sweeter, kind of like belgian waffles, and it doesn't leave that wierd taste in your mouth. :D I fill it with chocolate chips and strawberries everytime. It's so nummy!
So, yeah...
um, not much else, so; BLARGH!!? Eh, probably not then.
Well, i'm going to go now.
Bai.
Bai.

Yeah, I really want to see the movie.
i probably will this Wednesday... i hope. :S But i need to ask people at school if they want to go. Some of them might not want to go that day...
*crosses fingers and holds in breath* ... *GASP!* AGH, can't hold breath for that long...
ANYWAYS, i can't go on WoW for a while... not til my dad has a beer anyways. See, we made this bet (oh no!). For everyday that I don't play WoW, he doesn't drink beer. That does not disclude whiskey or scotch or other liquors (like it doesn't disclude Blogspot, Facebook, or any other computer game I happen to play). :D i see it as a win win for both of us. I will spend more time on homework and he will get rid of his beer belly.
Let's hope it works, huh?
If he cracks within the next 24 hours, then he will have to buy my ticket for 9 on Wednesday and give me enough money for a slushy. :) But he has to crack sometime soon... :S
AGH!! Well...
Let's see if works soon then, right? :)

FML
So my mother's been looking at my facebook today...
not so happy. She apparently cares about my life now and wants me to not say "fuck" on facebook. OR ELSE...
You know what mother?? FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!
... Wow, that was mature.
So i'm hopefully going to survive this round, but we shall see again. >:P
But today I hung out afterschool with some friends. It was really fun. We didn't go out anywhere special, we didn't do anything unique; we just sat around and chilled for a while... like 6 hours or so the last people dispersed.
Total amazingness.
But I got to go to bed now. NIGHT!

HEY!!
Pep band this week has been fun, but I realised today that we're NOT marching tomorrow (like last year), but the second day of school... which reminds me i need the permission slip... MR. LIUZZI!!!
... anyways, I think this'll be fun. FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING, The march will take place at the State Fair Grounds around 11 or so. Last year we were behind the people in the cute little cars, but i don't know where we'll be on The 2nd. :S
But please come! It will be fun! (oh, yeah, did i mention we'll be taken OUT OF CLASS??) :D
REALLY can't wait. :)

CAMPING
I can't wait. I'm being picked up at noon (yes, she's late) to head out to Casts Lake and go camping with my mother, John, (maybe)Amy, and John's family. :D
I'm really excited. But, Ian's been gone for a week now off on the East Coast (Washington DC, New York, etc.). :( Also can't wait til he gets back.
And then, it's august, time to think about school again. :P And I want to know what my schedule is, but (GUESS WHAT) they fucked up the schedules on Parent Portal. ha! But now I'm worried the schedule I had gotten is the wrong one, which for many people it is the case. Most, in fact.
So, i'm going to have to wait.
And, remember Anne-onymous? Well, I've been given an update.
The girl who liked her is still being a baby about it. :P She's debating telling this girl that she needs to back off, or Anne will send her boyfriend after her. Well, I think she should! Are you guys with me here?
... hello?
Anyways, I got to go. BYES! :D
