Sticking together with the tape of love.

Kady_kutthroat = Kady.
Kady is amazing. She brought over the entire season of Flight of the Concords. And made us mini apple pies. I helped. But need I say more?

Dusting off the cobwebs of my old Eljay account.

I don't believe I've posted in here since my freshman year.
But this is going to be my senior year, and though I haven't even touched my Culminating project or any of my AP homework, I actually feel like I'm off to a good start. (Why? We don't question it.) I have my proposal letter almost finished.

My hair is bleached and streaked pink with an bit of indigo here and there.
And I will most likely have my senior pictures done that way.

My summer has been pretty much uneventful, aside from the daily drama between Marsha and Justen and my chronically insane band friends and their alter-egos. But entertaining nevertheless.

I've passed the time playing Rock Band, watching anime (Go FMA!) , and telling people about my insane band friends.
And reading my old English teacher's blog: http://themisanthropesjournal.blogspot.com
*Cough* Buy his book! *cough*

I have discovered the joy of Expo Dry Erase markers and been constantly drawing all over the windows, computer screen, Tv screen, Fridge, and anywhere else it is a flat, shiny and easy to clean surface.

Well, I guess that's about it for now.

Painful.

2006-02-09T03:43:48Z

We actually worked out in PE, or fitness or whatever they want to call it. I started it last week, then we did the introduction to the machines and how to use them ect ect ect. But this week we actually -used- them and checked flexibility and weight ect. I'm unflexible compaired to all my friends, I could only reach 7.5, Dominique got 15.5, Emily got 17, and Zara got 13. But Dominique is in gymastics, Emily used to have gymastics and is very competitive, and Zara used to be in Drill team. Rawr. Tuesday the last 20 min of class we played ownership, it's sortof like dodgeball but the balls are squishy and its everyone for themself, if you get hit, you sit down, if the person who hit you gets hit, you stand up. And there is absolutely no teaming up with your friends. If so you have to do lunges until the teacher says stop. Emily and I kept hitting each other, though there were some dodges I made by sliding on the floor and now my knees are skinned. Now even sitting down on the floor is painful and climing up or down stairs. My legs Ache. Dominique is having trouble with her gym locker, it keeps jamming.

We got our grades back today. Mine reads:
Int Math 1A Schatz B
World History McGibbon C Uses Critical Thinking Skills / Pleasure to have in Class
Intermed Band Hartse A Pleasure to have in class
Science 9A Sande C Pleasure to have in class / Progress is acceptable
Health 9 Stinson C Pleasure to have in class
English 9A Murphy B Pleasure to have in class / Progress is acceptable

My GPA 2.667

): 3 C's! Now I have to have straight A's though the rest of This year and next to get a 3.5 GPA. Dominique did really well, she has exactly a 3.5 GPA. Sasha has a 2.1 while Britni (whom I dislike) has a 1.8

But Apparently I'm a pleasure to have in class. That goes for all my teachers. Except Math. Maybe thats why I got a new math teacher? Well my new math teacher is Mr. Sleeth. He gives drawings for No homework passes. I havent had a teacher like that since elementary! But I don't mind, especially if I recieve one. That B shall be an A soon. My biggest problem is Science now, I don't really understand it. But I get the work done, wich is more than most people in the class, It's nice having Dominique to check answers with. But there are so many people who copy other people's work. If my handwriting was readable I could charge them. Usually they ask someone like Rebecca, she copies sometimes, but when she does, it only a few problems. She is really smart but she's usually doing other things instead of paying attention.
I have to be in Bed by 8:00 tonight, and I want some pie first, I'll be sure to update again soon.

Weekend.

2006-01-09T03:07:19Z

This weekend was fun. Steph came over and stayed the night twice. We watched Fruits Basket, And bits of Ai Yori Aoshi. She also Brought over her Ps2. I'm addicted to it all over again. Alas, I messed up and we can't get one as soon as we originally planned. If I'm good [good grades, hw everyday, litterboxes, school everyday ect] for 30 days then we can get one... If I fail at one of them, the count starts all over. Tomarrow is the start of day one... I hope steph brings her ps2 over again... especially since I get up earlier than her..

A scary thing happened, Takuya was in the dryer for a few min with a bunch of clothes... Hes fine now it happened yesterday... His bones are fine he eats and drinks... His mom loves him... and he plays like it never happened... Mom was so upset... I was sad... But he's alright.

Well I've been interested in an Anime called Last Exile but all I know about it is the theme song... Mom wants to watch a movie called Shadow.

Cheese.

2006-01-06T04:03:49Z

All is well.
I was watching Romeo and Juliet.. but Rika and Donovan decided to fight behind the Tv. Everyone is okay, but most of the power cords were unplugged and I'm not strong enough to move the Television and "stuff" out of the way to plug them in, and its too dark for me to slink behind it and we are fresh out of the batteries the flashlight uses. Doomed.
Today... was alright. An average day. I missed the bus. Like usual. Except I was early and I was at the bus stop. Then I remembered that I forgot my note from my mother to give to the school. so I had to walk back and get it, missing the bus in the process. The sad thing is that I missed it by a couple of minutes. It my backpack wasn't so heavy filled with hw, and my mathbook and my reading book, and other stuff, I could have ran and made it. Or if I lived 2 blocks away instead of 4-5 blocks. So I just ended up sitting at the Bus stop for 30 min until the next one came by. It was Cold. But I only misses half of math, and my math teacher loves me because I'm one of the few people who actually understands and pays attention and does the work. It's easy, he gives us 2 days to do the work, and we only see him almost every other day, so you almost get 4 days to do it. But I usually do it during lunch the day it is assigned, so I can suffer on World History. Who I only try to like because she knows good books on King Henry VII and spent 2 years in Japan. I have her class first tomarrow. My class is the worst of all her classes. It's a fact she wrote the average grades of each of her classes after an assignment or test. My class always has the lowest percent. Always.
Band was good today. Got some new songs... Then some guy came and tried to recruit Brass players. His speech was long and boring. I just wanted to play music and he wasted 20 min of it! In Nov. We got a new health teacher because our old one had a baby Nov 23. And she was teaching at school that day... She didn't have it at school but she was there... So we got this new gut, and I don't remember his name. But he makes us write -alot-.
I actually made a decent entry.

Fruits Basket

2005-12-29T16:00:54Z

Erin Just left to the Airport. I don't think she's forgot anything. I'm going over to Kady's today.
I have 2 cute little kitties on me. Rika is in heat, so we have to lock one up when the other is about.

Wow... My post is short.

Duck Hawk

2005-12-27T19:30:40Z

I just found out there is an animal called a Duck Hawk... You learn something new everyday.

Well I'm on an Anime Craze, and exposing it to everyone. Mostly Erin and Mom and the Anime Fruits basket. Mom's friend at work burned me more Dvds to add to what I have...
Christmas was Awesome. I got losts of presents Including 2 Awesome Anime Calenders, 2 Manga books and a Zen book, 2 Neat bookmarks [That way I can stop using paper I tear off of my HW], Nausicaa, armwarmers legwarmers, And tons of others. =3
Kitties are Cute.

I still have Kady's presents. So I need to get ahold of her.
I've been watching Sasha's Pets while they are out of town. 2 Dogs, 2 cats, 1 turtle, and 1 fish.
She used to have a school of fish, a catfish, a geko and 2 hermit crabs. But half the fish died and the other half was given away. The geko was returned to the store for being "Mean" and the Hermit crabs died..

Well It's raining.

Weee!

2005-12-16T01:49:50Z

Well Lots-O-Stuff been happening. Lots of Drama between friends ect... Most of which is resolved now.

Anyway more importantly Kady and I need a ride to the Airport to see Erin tomarrow. Mom has informed me that there is not enough room in Sue's car for us... So if anyone is going, can they take us too?

2nd Day.

2005-09-08T02:51:38Z

I walked over to Sasha's and Mel's dad gave us a ride. I took a second look on my Id card I got yesterday and I look stoned in the picture, mostly because my eyes are tinted red and I have hat-hair. I felt really dumb in World History because The teacher asked "What is your name?" And I thought she said "How was your day?" So I said "So far so good." So the rest of class she called me So far so good. She did learn my real name... But if I would have known I would have made a name more.... Creative. What was sad is she would forget it and ask. Mom said maybe she thought I said it like a name "Sofah Sogood" Or something like that. The cool thing is, she spent 2 years in Japan.
Dominique was in all of my classes today and one of yesterday. Science on the second floor. The teacher was kind of boring. Though, someones Cellphone went off and The room was silent for about 3 minutes while it was playing. No one made a move, until the teacher finally said something about it. The guy claimed that it was his sisters phone. It's now against the law to bring any food or drink except bottled water into Sci. (Or so the teachers have been claiming) And absolutely no gum. He said If we want to try an experiment with gum, chew some while pealing onions and the smell is so strong, it will make the gum taste like onions. Though I'm not very eager to try it.
Lunch! I got to have 2nd lunch with Sasha! We ate outside and I had Nacho's for the first time. It was quite peaceful. I met yet again, another Emily. Afterwords me and Dominique went to English with Mr. Murphy. He was quite humorous actually. Though at first it did disturb me that he spelt "and" "ant" but he corrected it immediately. Sasha said he does stuff like that on purpose, For example, she said he spelt yellow, Yeloooooooooow! But he was cool.
Afterwords we met up with Sasha and were hit up for cigarettes, again. Sasha said something about not wanting lung cancer and we walked home. (Happened yesterday too... Do we look like smokers? I've been asked for cigarettes 5 times in my life, and 3 of them this last 2 weeks.) I just realized, alot of high schoolers smoke. Yet it seems that none of them buy any cigarettes.
When we got to Sasha's Kady arrived home. I got to talk to her and Sasha gave me a Sobe. Then, a squirrel in a tree, started doing something.... odd, making barking sounds, and it's tail went wacky. Then I came home and Stephie was here. I was so happy.

=P

2005-09-07T02:47:31Z

I haven't written in a while. I've finally been tackling the huge pile of books I've wanted to read. Stephie is back from Arizonia, with a brand new super cool laptop. That (with our help) Has wireless internet.
I started High School today. Kady, Allie ,and Briana go to NC. Sasha, Mel, Dominique, and I go to Shadle and Stephanie goes to Rogers. 3 different HS in all. I'm officially a freshman. Though, I did get into Band. It's over 80 students in that class. And I met another Emily in my Health class. I was so glad Sasha was there. She knew where everything was and the shortcuts to get there. I only had 3 classes today, but I'll report on the other 3 tomarrow.
I have no one I know in my math class. But at least the teacher seems....nice.
I love my band teacher, he has a great sence of humor. My health teacher is currently Pregnant but she is so nice. I'm also told I'll like 2 other teachers that I'll have tomarrow... But no one seems to know the third teacher... I also have both, 1st and 2nd lunch. They alternate between days.
On Monday, I have all my classes. On tues, and thurs, I have per 1,3,5. On Wed and fri, I have per 2,4,6. It's a bit confusing really. Well I have a little bit of HW to get done. I shall report more tomorrow.

Ack.

2005-08-26T00:55:40Z

I just got over being sick. Allie was sick before me and now Kady and Mom are sick. ._. Thats not allowed. Not much is happening. Though I did spend the night at Allie's house. I got to have Jello and Key-lime pie. And for breakfest Allie and I had homemade freshly baked muffins. =D Right now I'm insanely addicted to .Hack//sign I played the game at Allies house again (I've played it last time I was there) and Played it 'till Allie fell asleep and I was stuck. We also brought Donovan there for a test drive. He loved the house, just not the other 4 cats in it. He slept next to me purring (Loudly might I add) and didn't stop till 6am. Then I woke up and looked around for him, but he was nowhere in sight. Then I fell asleep until 8am and he came back.

They decided not to take him because he already has a good home.
Hmmm I smell popcorn.
Kady is going to loan me her ps2 while she's in Canada! Woo! Alle said she'll loan me her .hack game too.... And in 2 Days, Steph is coming back. Well I'm going to see where the yummy popcorn smell is coming from.

=D

2005-08-16T16:57:10Z

Erin and Clint have a phone Yay! The house is officially clean! Well, except the attic and the basement. Donovan wants to play, lost all of my anime sheet music because mom deleted my folder, but we worked things out. I finally got past the water temple in Zelda: Ocarina of time. (For those who don't know I was stuck on the water temple for about 5 months) Now I'm in the Spirit temple.

You scored as Harry Potter. You can be a little reckless and hot-headed at times, but a more brave and courageous friend would be hard to find.

Cleaning.... yay.

2005-08-13T03:36:50Z

A couple days ago mom said we should clean the house. Today I decided to tackle the mess of the kitchen. Mom came up from downstairs astonished that I actually did something.
Here's the pictures of my hair for those of you who haven't seen it. Mom uploaded pictures yesterday. =3

2 chapters to go on Harry Potter 5. I'm so behind ._.
Rika, my kitty, has been in an extra loving mood. I think she doesn't want to share me with Donovan.

Not much has really happened. But I did find several Anime sheet music sites. The thing is, it's mostly for piano. But fortionatly I found 2 flute songs I liked. after that I found 2 anime Karaoke sites with a little bit of J-pop. (Japanese something or other)

There was a pretty thunderstorm today. I got to burn cardboard.

It's been a couple of days.

2005-08-09T17:34:34Z

I went to silverwood the day before yesterday with Allie, Sue and Mike. I convinced Allie to go on Tremors with me. She was nervous in the line getting to it, then she wanted to sit in front. But we ended up sitting in the middle. I had completely forgot how it felt. On the corkscrew, I can feel my weight fly up like I'll fly away on the first drop, then the drop ends and I'm okay. But on Tremors, It's like the drop never ends. you just go up and up and up. But I'm proud that I had my eyes open the whole time. When our pictures came out my hair was whipped back and Allie had clenched teeth.
The Last time I went on Tremors, it was my first time to silverwood. I stood on my toes to make the height limit. My mom said she had to hold on to me.
I had a carmel apple for the first time, it also pulled out my other loose tooth. And I had my first Funnel cake. They were both really good.

If I go over to Kady's house I'll upload a few drawings I drew yesterday...

Granger, Indiana

2005-08-04T20:26:55Z

Erin and Clint just called a few minutes ago, and are currently in Granger, Indiana. Baxter is happy and content, Holden wishes he was on a stable couch. They are now taking food and water and the litterbox. They are going to stop at another KOA camp. They didn't sleep last night, they just rode right through.

They'll have internet by monday, and their phone won't be on 'till the 13th.

The trip of Erin and Clint.

2005-08-04T13:54:22Z

Day Three: When they called last night, they were halfway through Minnesotta. They had lost some time because they lost the gas cap and had to hunt all through South Dakota to find a budget Dealer to give them one. That didn't work. So they had to buy one somewhere... Erin was really tired when she called, and was going to go to sleep. But Clint felt fine and was going to continue driving.

Army

2005-08-03T19:12:48Z

Hmmm I'd join the Army if it weren't for the killing 'n stuff. I like the food. Clint left some here, I ate some, mom said Clint left them here on purpose. But I'm afraid to eat the potatoes....

Our favorite Check-out from walgreens has joined the Airforce National Guard. I think his name was Toni? Well, Off to Kady's house for hair dye...ness.

Erin and Clinton

2005-08-03T18:51:09Z

Night one:
They called from Butte, MT and they were going to a rest stop 1hr past Butte.
When they checked on the kitties, Holden had broken out of his cage and was is a state of shock. So they decided to take the kitty harnesses and bring them up front. Surprisingly, Baxter is the best traveler. He gets Belly-rubs and lays in Erin's lap, occasionally looking out the window, Holden still in shock. Neither of them wanted, food or water or the litterbox.

Day 2:
They only had 3 hours to sleep, so they took a lot of naps and made it to Buffalo, WY. So they decided to spend the money on a KOA campground, set up the tent, air mattresses, showers, hot tub. They hope to have a good night's sleep.

What they want for Today:
Hope to make it to Minnesota or possibly even Chicago.

Erin and Clint

2005-08-01T22:40:36Z

They have set out for Ohio. At 3:37 pm. August 1st.

Haiku

2005-07-31T05:56:54Z

After the short talk about haiku today, I came home and it popped into my mind. So I decided to write some. I'm not a writer.

Rika:
Black and white kitty
The little one who missed me
How glad she is now

Story of a Leaf:
Glimmering green leaf
Smiling under the sun
Turns orange and falls down

Wind:
The wind blows gently
Blowing softly against me
The whisper it makes

Life of a table:
The table sits there
Collecting dust in it's life
How sad it must be

Donovan:
Trouble is his name
Kitty uses his cute looks
Mischievous cat

Boo:
Anger management
Abusive to other cats
Loving she can be

Baxter:
The fanged fraidy cat
Scary we may seem to him-
But we love him anyway

Holden:
The sleeping fat cat
He hates ham but loves chicken
Beautiful blue eyes

Some of them I could do better on...
One thing to look foreword for tomorrow is that Erinpoo is going to Princess Mononoke with me. I'm so happy! Maybe I can make pancakes, if we have eggs and flour left.

Donovan II:
Two modes, on and off
On, He bounces off the walls
Off is when he sleeps

Donovan III:
Molds to current spot
Adjustable to everything
The baskets he loves

Donovan is collapsed right next to me so it's easy to write about his furry lump of Joy.

Happy Day!

2005-07-31T03:34:55Z

Hello there posse. If that is how you spell it. I'll find out once I use the spellcheck. I'm at Clint's mom's house chillin' ..... literally. I see you. For get this. I can't see a thing. This keyboard has no cord. D=< Kady get's to read this first. While I sit in the living room, while she gets to tell me my mistakes. Well yesterday I pulled out my tooth. It hurt. ._. Actually, typing like this is quite entertaining. Though it might seem "odd" for someone reading it. My kitty, Rika, escaped outside today, through 2" of open window with a screen. I don't need a spellcheck with Kady around. I am sortof learning how to swim. Kady is psychic. She knows what I am going to write. >.> I went on a cleaning streak today. Yet the house is still a mess.

Now, back at the computer.... Oh how I've missed you sweet, loveable computer. Well, not much more to say... I'm wet.

First Entry!

2005-07-28T16:38:57Z

Erinpoo talked me into getting on LiveJournal. So here I am using Clint's computer. While Donovan is stirring up trouble. Rika, My kitty, is almost all better and improving. I'll miss Erin and clint when the leave in 3 days.... Not much to say right now.
