I'm a Sinner!

I stole an $8 bracelet from Wal-Mart ehl-oh-ehl. It was exciting. It's cool-looking too, teehee. And OMG! I swear it was like gay night at Wal-Mart because I saw some really fruity ones out there! There was this gorgeous white guy with a nice tan and green eyes. I followed him around a bit then stopped, teehee. He was cute. I was going to buy more scrapbooking pages but forgot about it.

I went to church and it was okay. Jose texted me and told me that he was coming to church with us next week. For sure. At least that's what he said.

Today was super cold. And we still went out and shopped. It sucked getting out of the car every time! The wind was just too much! But oh well, we got over it and bought some household necessities.

I decay what else to talk about so I'm going to finish off by saying that I finally wrote the letter to my teacher in Mexico. I hope the Spanish is not too bad but then again my mom read it and said it was fine. I'm sending along a picture of me in my Technician outfit. I explained why I was wearing such garment as well. I hope she's proud of me!

It's Pretty Much Three In Dee Ay Ehms...

I had some people over. Since eight. They're still here. I don't mind much, except that tomorrow is church day and I don't think I might end up going. I think I want to go because Jose might be finally coming along though.

I finally changed my layout! Yes! It's pretty, I think ^^

Oh yeah. I was going to talk about the Technicians's Christmas Party. I loved it. I had lots of fun. I was kind of sad that some people weren't able to go or couldn't show up. At first I thought I wasn't going to cry because Ms. H's letter/speech wasn't really sad or emotional. But then we all started singing Christmas Wish and I lost it. I hate crying in front of people because I fear they think I'm doing it for attention. I'm not though. I just want to cry. Then I found out something even worse after I had left, and cried some more. I love my friends. Technicians are awesome. I gave Ms. H a big hug and said Thanks. She brought up the first time we met. I felt special because she still remembered! I was in Beginning Choir!

That night I played a lot of DDR! I even held hands with Tesia while playing it! That was fun. It wasn't too hard but then again it was kind of crazy. And then she'd give me a kiss every time we finished a song.

Oooh! My mommy made ponche de fruta, or fruit punch, for me to take and share. Some people loved it. Some not that much. I was glad that Emily Green liked it. She loved it. And she was one of the few who gave me a hug and kissed me goodbye before leaving. I love her. She's so nice.

Other people's happiness mean a lot to me. If someone is sad, then I am sad. I don't know why.

Thursday night was our last Christmas show. Some seniors cried a lot. I turned away as soon as we had finished Christmas Wish because I thought I was going to be the only one crying and that people were going to laugh at me. Then I saw April and Jesi almost next to me also crying. We all hugged and cried together. Then some more people came along and hugged us. I gave Jose a big special hug.

Today, well yesterday, Saturday, I texted Johnie a lot! He texted me first, after having gone like an entire week without talking. He surprised me. Then he got a little tipsy around 9/10ish and started asking weird questions that you might now want to know about.

Oooh! We also bought a new DDR pad for a future DDR party. ^^ When? "I decay"

OMG! April got into Butler! That was the school she wanted to go to as well! Go April!

Last Day of School

Today is the last day of school! For this semester, at least! I still have one more final to take though, but oh well.

Oooh! I got the highest score in my English final! Actually, three different Mexicans got the highest scores in all three classes. My teacher said that it was "a big day for Mexico."

Tuesday night was the Winter Wonderland concert. It was pretty awesome, if you take Gospel Choir out. s2yt52r4e3fdstfewnhtnhwbqgvjhwebvggtfhvyfikmhubytvf huizer <----- Tesia "typed" that. It's a code for something, or so I think. I think it says something about Angelina Huizer. Hmmm, a possible murder.

Last night we had a show at the mall! The Artsgarden, to be exact. We didn't really have an audience. Isaac and April got the pins. Some of us stayed after the show to go around and have fun.

"Sarcasm!" Ms. Jesse sang just now. It was chotto kawaii! ^.^v Angie, not Angelina (same person anyway!), put the nose in my Japanese peace-sign face. Tesia, Angie, and I really think that this entry is uber ADfuckingD. Right?

Angie doesn't say effing, though, because she doesn't believe in cursing in blogs -sigh- Silly children these days.

Oooh! The Cannon is out! It's awesome-looking! And it tastes pretty good too!

People fighting are funny. Vampire-wannabes. Haha. Punch!

DDR is effing awesome too! Some Technicians stayed after the show.

Angie just told me that she saw a license plate that said DDR. And she told me she had forgotten to tell me. What a friend.
Ouch. She just punched me and told me "Imma cut-choo"

People are laughing and talking about me. In front of me. People like Tesia C. West Rodriguez Dominguez Salamanca Solano Zapata de la Villa Cruz. Heffa. She's silly.

Oooh~ I've been accepted to IUB! I also got my UofI admission letter! I don't remember if I mentioned this or not, but reinstating it wouldn't hurt.

Last night, after school, we had a pizza party for the newspaper/yearbook. It was okay, I guess.

"To be continued..."

Tired As Eff!

Tonight I was on double-slave-duty. I was serving and taking pictures for the yearbook. I got to be "invisible" by wearing an all-black outfit and taking pictures of the Madrigal. It was really fun and I felt special because I was able to, ummm, interrupt. But I was also serving, and for this I had to have my costume on. Yeah, I lost count of how many times I hurried into the kitchen and changed as fast as I could. The Chef and cooks were just admiring my ability to do both things at once. "Here he comes again!" They said. It was funny. I thought I deserved some dessert and food, but I didn't get any. Oh well.

I also let Angel borrow my shirt today since he pretty much got his all dirty. I thought I was only going to be serving the Top Table with all the Tech people but I ended up helping as well. I just hope people didn't notice it much.

I think I forgot to mention on this morning's entry that there was a mistletoe hanging from Ms. H's office's doorway. Audrey took my hand and took me under. We gave each other cheek kisses. That was so 'kawaii!' ^^
Then I think Jose saw that too so he also grabbed my hand and said "Come on Erick, let's go" and laughed and I laughed. Then I think I kinda shook him off. Haha, oh well. Some other time. Privately. Haha.

OMG! Tesia looked so cute in her little Jester costume! I wanted it! I also think I got some cute pictures of Tesia just dancing around being, a clown(?).

I think I have three finals tomorrow. So I should probably head to the shower and then bed.

"Thug Life, kgh kgh"

I can't really remember what I did on Friday!

I know for a fact that Audrey and Greg went to my house to drop off a Venture Crew application. Since that was their first time being in my house I gave them a tour. Audrey liked my house! She thought my room was clean! It really wasn't though. But, I guess. Ehl-oh-ehl.

I also went to Audrey's house for movies and hot chocolate! We ended up watching Joseph! It was so fun. Shatoyia showed up in the middle of the 'event' as well. Overall it was a really great time and I really wish we could gather more often to do these kinds of events.

Emily Green drove us home. I wished her and I would be more close. She's really cool, but I guess we have to hang out more to get to know each other.

Saturday was really boring. We spent the day driving my mom around. Some people went to the mall after the Technician show. I was kind of upset when I found that out, because I wasn't invited. Someone had told my brother but he never told me anything. And it was because we had to drive my mom around. Oh well. Maybe some other time all the Technicians could go to the mall together and spend the time at Gameworks, or something. I think I just really want to go play DDR or something. Or something.

My mom also ended up making fried fish and tilapia so the entire house stank for the entire weekend! It's Monday morning and my coat still stinks! I went out of the classroom with body spray and engulfed myself in too much of the good stuff. Now I think I smell like a merman, haha.

Saturday I was also asked go to and help serve for Madrigal. I went and loved it! It was awesome and fun! I might do it tonight as well. It was tiring, standing up all night running around serving people and stuff. Oh well, the show was really awesome so I enjoyed it.

We took Jose home. I like Jose, he's a really awesome dude. I think.

Oooh! I also got the Show Pin for Saturday morning's show! Yay! Second time!

Super Tired

All these shows and school work is really tiring. I know I have a final probably tomorrow in English. We don't do any real work in there so the final will probably be something easy that I can ace.

Today I was awakened by a text message. Which was awesome because I had overslept and so had my parents. So when I woke them up I was pretty much yelled at for waking them up late. How lame is that? It's just another excuse to make me mad. But making me mad worked for me because I was stronger to go to school and face all the problems, which, mind you, seem to be somehow fixed now.

So I went to school and whatnot. I tried to finish my illustration for my illegal immigration story but I couldn't because my presence was required for the cover picture of the newspaper. I don't really think I should have been in the picture but no other boy was available. I hope people know who their paper's Editor-in-Chief is now!

So then came time to leave! To the museum, the Ed center, and City Market. I loved City Market! Mainly because Jose actually asked me if I could buy him lunch today because he had forgotten his wallet. I definitely said yes! I saw this as a chance to make up for what I had done the day before and bought him lunch. He told me he was going to pay me back, but I told him it wasn't necessary.
Oh yeah, the guys who worked at the place we bought our food were Hispanic! They were speaking to everyone in Spanish! It was cool! Somehow. Jose and I were going to sit together but we ended up sitting with Shawnee, Yajaira, and Shereese. I just want him to be happy. At some point in time we hugged. I can't remember why, but I think he said "I love you" and then I said it back and we hugged. He's a great friend.

I also bought Gelato and shared with friends. I especially love sharing with boys, I don't really know why. I guess it's because I'm gay? -shrugs- Cranberry! Hey!

Oh, at the museum, I tried to teach some girls how to dance Duranguense. I explained it carefully and then I went crazy and I cranked it up. They were laughing at and with me. Ehl-oh-ehl. I just really want to go to a party! Aaargh!

The Ed Center was just so funny! Ask me about it if you don't already know. (Self:Fruitcake)

I stayed after school for a Yearbook meeting and I finished my illegal immigration illustration. If you don't get The Cannon, you can read it online. Just go to Tech's website and find the link that says "The Cannon"

Then I came home. Ate. Took mom to work. And left for the Zooooo. We saw Emily Bolick's mom on our way to the Zoo. She asked about ourselves and where we were performing. We told her and she ended up showing up! With Emily! That was fun.

The Zoo was just awesome. I keep capitalizing zoo because it was that important and fun, by the way. We performed without coats! It was freezing but singing helped, I think. We also got free Starbucks! Weee.

I think most of us also stayed to see the rest of the zoo. It was fun. It was great. I especially loved the dolphins and randomly singing in front of some Christmas trees. It was great.

Back home again, in Indiana...

So Much! I Don't Know What To Do!

I am feeling miserable. Incompetent. Handicapped. The true reasons I cannot reveal. But it isn't about me. Or it is.

I feel horrible inside when somebody yells at me. Even if someone raises their voice towards me. When they look me as if I had just hurt them. I got one of those looks from Jose today, but that is because I snapped at him. I regret it. Badly. I apologized but I still feel really bad.

I was pretty much yelled at for being absent yesterday. I can't help it lady.

Ms. Jesse called my piece sublime. I am sorry, I have to go right now: there's a know in my throat and I need to go and lie to my parents. I truly love you! Thanks for caring for me

The following I typed before I typed the above.

I am sometimes pretty good at hiding my own feelings. I consider myself a good liar. But I let stuff get to me too much. I let stuff go wrong sometimes. I feel like I let people down. I feel like some things are my fault. I try to have everyone happy. I try my hardest to ignore it when I am depressed.
Sometimes I just go and cry in the shower and when my parents see my eyes all red and stuff I lie to them and tell them soap got into my eyes. Then I go and cry some more in bed. There's just no other way.
I've come to think of suicide. But it doesn't get too serious so don't worry about it. Is it weird that I often dream up my own death? Is it weird that I dream up the "perfect" death? I just love to imagine that I will be forever remembered and missed.

Crying hurts me. Somehow. But that's when I truly let go and let time fix stuff. I guess I am just not really ready for life. Is it bad that I am texting friends and telling them I'm all right? That I tell them I am truly okay when I am not? Is it okay for me to cry while I type this?

I don't know if it's because I am the way I am. Or if it is because I am surrounded by people I love and they end up hurting me somehow. It really hurts. And the pain is always there. I don't show it though. I never do. Or at least I try not to.

There is no day I don't want to cry. Yet I act peachy and nice. There are notes I've written in my notebooks before. For that one day I'm not here.

Last Technician Tour

Today was the Technicians's famous Christmas Tour.

Our bus had apparently left us and we were waiting outside waiting for it to return. I was standing outside talking to Steven. It was fun. At one point Ms. H gave me her umbrella for me to hold and then Steven took it and pretty much shook it in my face. Like twice! It was fun though! Not the getting wet part, but I am so glad we are getting along after some misunderstandings.

I think we all love this day because we go and sing and have fun and enjoy ourselves. And we get to skip school, hahaha.
It was really tiring though. I know my cheeks hurt from smiling and my voice was cracking during the penultimate show.
Our last show, though, made me feel better; the kids were already waiting for us and they were really excited to see us. They made me feel happy again and so I gave them my best.

I think April got the pin twice today! Go April! I didn't get it though -shame- Oh well. Some other time hopefully.

We had fast food for lunch and I went to Taco Bell. I got me a number 9, which is a Yummy Crunch Wrap for you Taco Bell-illiterates. It was really yummy. At one point I put a bunch of fire sauce all over it and passed it around for everyone to have some of what I really enjoy. Three people did: Emily V., Steven, and Audrey. I think they liked it. Emily did because she went and got one herself. Haha.

I pretty much drank two things of Pepsi! That was a lot of soda! Really! And my taco? I was sick by the time we went to our show right after lunch. But oh well.

I can't really remember all the fun stuff I did with my friends but I love Technicians, and I am really going to miss it when I go to college.

We got to school around 3 something and I had a nosebleed. I was lucky Kristina had a roll of tissue with her otherwise my white shirt would have been red.

Then I had to leave for a Key Club meeting which I arrived to just in time to close it. I was upset at myself for not being there but I had no control over it. I hope Ms. Solchik isn't upset with me.
I've been feeling like that lately. I feel like I am letting people down and losing their trust and confidence. -sigh-

So then I called Ms. Jesse to see if she had a Newspaper meeting. Only one person showed up. Some of us were Technicians though, so it's fine. I just hope we don't lose "production."

I came home and showered. OMG! I only have enough gel for like four days! That is crazy! LA Looks, I need some more! Ehl-oh-ehl. Seriously. If you want to get me gel for Christmas, LA Looks is the best, and any other shit makes me get dandruff and gross.

So yeah, I took my shower and ate and had a tamale. Weee tamales.

Then my dad decided to take my brother and me to Methodist Hospital an hour before we needed to be there. Oh well. At least we got there.

Then people started arriving as well. I swear a girl took a picture of me with her cell phone! She just stuck it out and pointed at me. I tried to pretend I didn't notice but I did. And there was also a really hot guy next to her so of course I didn't care.
They had a self-playing piano as well! It was so cool! It wasn't magic, it was just a ghost sitting there playing. Or so they told me.

The space for the show was really small and I kept bumping into people and getting stepped on. It was fun though. And I loved us. I didn't cry though, yay!

April brought me home!

Then I got a call from my journalism teacher and The Cannon adviser, Ms. Jesse. She congratulated me on my awesome Illegal Immigration story and had me answer some questions. She also has some more questions to which I can get answers tomorrow from "Cynthia" (sorry Jeffrey! Her name was the first name that popped up!). So now I have something to edit tomorrow and find a way to illustrate it. Ms. Jesse said we could make my story a spread. Weee. I feel good about myself now.

Ms. Jesse also told me she wasn't feeling very well so she might not go to school tomorrow. That's a bummer because I really want to work with her to get my story and the whole newspaper done. She says she wants to concentrate on Yearbook from now on so that will leave me in charge of The Cannon. That's scary.

But I still have U.S. History to do. Oh well. I can get that done quick.

Oooh~ I got an e-mail from IUBloomington:

Dear Erick Gama,

I am currently in the process of reviewing your application to Indiana University Bloomington. After reviewing your transcript we were a little concerned with you grade of D in Calculus your junior year. Otherwise, you performed very well throughout your high school career, do you have a reason or explanation for your grade in this course?

Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.

Yeah...

Stressed Out- Again

Okay, so Friday I spent almost the entire day trying to make up and finish a story about someone selling their soul to the devil. Mine isn't that great, but I guess with a bit more work it could at least be something. Too bad I already turned it in for credit.
My teacher didn't want some big story so that limited how much I wrote. It was only two pages long and didn't have much detail. Except on how the protagonist died a, ummm, horrible death.

Today I spent the rest of the day writing my Illegal Immigration story. I thank the lord that I had previously interviewed people and only needed to put everything together. Now I am thinking of adding more stuff. I think it's okay, overall. It could be better. But then again, I thought it was due Wednesday, not today. Oh well. I had enough time to make another sudoku and its answer to turn in as well. I also have an ACT/SAT story going on the paper. That would be three contributions! Go Editor-in-Chief! Hehehe.

I asked to go to the media center today during Journalism because I get easily distracted by friends. They are just so funny and hard to ignore. My home computer also distracts me because of certain websites -cough- and Facebook. Blogger not so much because I try to do that last.

I learn better with worksheets. I found that out today when Ms. Frank handed out yet another questionnaire for another section in our book. I like them.
She also gave me tomorrow's work since I won't be there. She got upset when I told her I wasn't going to be there either. Eff her. As if she were a teacher in a classroom, make me laugh.

I went to that Navy meeting for a scholarship in the media center. It was okay. Worth a lot of money too! Too bad I can't apply...

Peer Tutorness- I'm starting to hate helping random hispanic kids. They just don't want to do anything and I really can't translate the entire textbook for them everytime the teacher gives out a worksheet. Oh well. I gots hugs from peoples. Yay. Summer was there too! Yay

Music was kind of fun. I hate it when people watch me when I'm singing though because it makes me laugh and crack while I sing. Singing is fun though.
Jose tried to play with me and took my 50 pesos. So Isaac took his candy and gave it to me and we exchanged goods. ^o^
I gots Audrey-hugs-and-kisses. Yay.

April and I practiced lines, once, during lunch. Yay

April and I both got 9.5 on our Japanese test! This one was kind of hard. And I only missed some questions about culture because I hadn't been there when they studied that. Oh well. No biggie.
I reviewed a lesson today. Hopefully I'll do better next time and on finals.

We are still doing work in Env. Science. It's cool, but it's too much. Oh well.

Time for bed now! Getting ready for the shows tomorrow! I'm going to put vaseline in my teeth so I can have more chances of keeping the show pin! Haha

Changes

I need a new layout for my blog.

Right now I am stuck doing the homework I've been putting off since the beginning of the semester. Mainly in my English class. Now it is all due Monday. I really need to hurry.

Oh. Last night I had worked on two book reports also for my English class. I got to school today and looked for them. Nowhere to be found! I came home and they were neatly folded underneath a book. It really pissed me off because I even wrote super small to fit all I had to say about the book. Grrr. I told my teacher about forgetting my papers and he said I was trustworthy and reliable so he let me have it my way and turn them in Monday. That will probably give me time to re-read A Lesson Before Dying and writing a book report on that as well for extra credit.

It's been done. I will be auctioned off for a fundraiser. I hope someone buys me so I don't look like a lame loser that no one wants to be with. The other two boys participating have expressed their concern about same-sex bidders. I really wouldn't mind, unless . . . yeah.
At first I wasn't going to do it but Ms. Jesse said I should. I hope I do get some money, ehl-oh-ehl. Actually, I hope Huggins lets us do this. Because it's an awesome idea and a great fundraiser. If we have more sexy people it would be so much better.
"Heeey!"

Oooh! Today during fourth period I got to somehow flirt around. My friend Summer wasn't there so Josh went and did me company and showed me his new electronic device. It's some iTouch thing. Really cool though. We played little games and I beat him on one. I think it was something to do with memory. And then! Ooohness! Andres came up behind me and was looking over me. You know what I mean? Like me sitting down and he leaning over/behind me with his head like right on top of mine. I felt special, ehl-oh-ehl. I really don't think he's gay at all, but it'd be nice.

Music was okay. Somehow Ms. H's speech on Improper Moments To Cry seemed to have been directed at me. She even fixated a look on me while she said to not cry. She stared for like an entire minute! Even people noticed and they started laughing. Some were asking me not to cry right there. I didn't.

I had chicken nuggets today for lunch.

Japanese was cool. We had a cute substitute in there. He was young so that helped. I didn't want to bother him so I didn't even ask him his name. We did watch a cool movie though. Not Grave of the Fireflies because that would have been embarrassing and awful. For some of us. Or most of us.

SMOGEE. Since we are done teaching 7th graders we are going back to book work. I brought mine hope so I could hopefully finish it (ha!) during the weekend. Along with all my English and Journalism work due!
Turns out we also have a final for that class. It's not necessary. But Environmental Science is fun and very interesting.

Techoir after school! I had some free time and tried to play J.S.Bach's Prelude with April doing the flute solo but it turns out I was playing something different. I've been told to play what I know and that it should still be fine. I hope so.

Rehearsal was kind of fun. Silly jokes and silly people are awesome.

Angel pays a lot of attention to body odor, I think. Or maybe to the really bad ones. I should start bathing in cologne from now on, hehe.

You of I

I missed a call from the University of Indianapolis. I excitedly listened to the voicemail they kindly left behind. Guess what? I GOT ACCEPTED! EFFING ACCEPTED INTO U OF I!
Okay. But yeah, I got accepted. And on top of that, I obtained three scholarships (3!!!). The lady in the voicemail told me they would be sending out my letter of acceptance in about seven days. I was so excited! I got this at the end of the day so that pretty much made my day and made me happy for the Yearbook meeting. I was congratulated by the rest of the Yearbook staff and my teacher. They are the only ones who know, and know you too. Keep this a secret: I want to announce it with my letter in my hand!

Yearbook meetings are going pretty well. Much better then Newspaper ones. I think we need all reporters to show up not just the editors because the editors only work on their stories, at least I do. I should say something about it.

I missed almost the entire school day because of the SMOGEE trip. I skipped out on one presentation and only did one. The students were being crazy and funny so I started doing the same, in a good way. Making serious faces at them and then laughing and saying I was only jay kaying. They loved me and paid attention. It was productive, kind of.
Sucky lunches. Grrr. Jail leftovers.

Got to school back in time to take a dunk haha. Really though!

I also have two book reports that were due yesterday. I think. Or the day before. The point is I missed it because I was doing a show. I finally got the papers and did them for homework. I gave up on one of them though, but it's fine. Hopefully I can re-read the book and finish it. It's only 256 pages.

Yay For Renewed Friendships

Today was a pretty good day for me: I finally got the Performance Pin in Technicians (after two years of being patient!) and I found $8 on the ground on my way back to the Music Hall from the Arsenal.

On our way to the church, Jesi and I were talking, in Spanish, mind you. It was pretty fun and I loved it. I wish we had more classes together so we can talk. Audrey too, because she wants to learn Spanish. She's getting there.

Oh, yeah: the stage. Steps! Again! I kind of don't like them but they are fun sometimes. It was fun going up during some moves and coming back down to our partners. Did I mention I got The Pin? Ehl-oh-ehl.

I want to keep it! I hope I do well on our next performance so I can keep it. Jesi also got the girl pin. The girl pin is cuter, I think.
April was really happy because she had gotten the girl pin last night and I got the boy pin today. Yay! Same week! So she called her mom about it. She's silly. Tee-hee.

I have to express some big love for Are-Jay because thanks to him I was able to do well on my Japanese test. At least I think I did well, tee-hee. I hope so.

I texted my friend Jeffrey right after I was done too. April saw me texting him and asked me for his number so she could also text him. I don't know how well their conversation went.

SMOGEE. Weee. -.- Not very fun.
Thanks to this shit I am missing school tomorrow. Again! I am only worried about English 11 because I have a book report due, a short story due, some questions due, and to finish reciting MLK's speech. Yeah. It's a lot. I'll have a cram session sometime this week. -sigh-

OMG! I just went outside to help bring in groceries and I went out with shorts, flip-flops, and a sweater. My flip-flop broke during my journey from the door to the car. I had forgotten it was raining and both my feet and sandals got wet. It hurt!

Steven and I have clarified some questions. Hopefully there won't be tension between us anymore. Mutual misunderstandings, I would say.

I was also missed today during 4th period! By my friend Andres! I should get all his info! Heheh. He missed me! ^^

Hidoi-Horrible

Possibly the worst things to happen in the same day for one show:

Wrong location.

No pring prings.

No piano.

Ms. H and my brother went to our house to pick up our keyboard. Turns out we didn't need one because Peter had one in his van, or his mom did. Some smart Technicians kept pring prings and the front row got to use them. I don't know what the back row used. Thankfully both my partners for various songs were there.

I need to wash my shirt because it's starting to get nasty. At least my hair isn't gross anymore.

The new cute boy wasn't at school today.

My friend Shanez has a girlfriend. And I am still single.

Today is complaining day. For me. I hate my life today. Right now. This week. I hope this month gets better.

Mondee

Throughout the day I kept having these awesome ideas of what to write on today's post. Where did they go? Who knows?

One of the things I was going to talk about was the snow.
It pretty much happened while we were having a Technician show for a very appreciative crowd. We had entered the church and there was no snow outside. Suddenly we just opened the door and it was just beautiful. For some reason it really got to me. I don't know if it was because it was my last Winter season with the Technicians or if it was something else. At this moment I truly don't know.

I rode with Angie. Same spot: back/trunk. With Joey! ^^ I loves her.

I got to third period late, but oh well. The teacher didn't even notice. I guess my Technician outfit give me special unknown privileges. I like wearing my schowchoir outfit because I get looks that say "I can't talk to you because you are too important" or "Let me keep walking because you are better than me." Of course that's not the feeling I want to convey but it's not bad; it makes people move out of my way.

Someone asked me if I worked at Colonel's Cupboard. That was because I had taken my vest off and was 0nly wearing my bow tie. Whatev.

I think someone stole my chair from my Peer Tutor class. Oh well. I go around helping anyway so no chance to sit down.

Not much really. Or, little time right now (It's 10:20 in the pee ehms!)

I gots my haircut. I don't really like it, but I'll see what I do with it tomorrow morning. The guy who did it was cute though, so no complaints there!

I Give Thanks

For life. My family. My friends. For God.

It was a pretty lame Thanksgiving this year. I really felt like partying and socializing, that's how we celebrate it, you see.
I woke up at around 11 in the morning for lunch. After that it was slave-day. Kind of. We put up Christmas decorations outside of our house and lights too. We were going to put two reindeers out too but they wouldn't stand. We'll figure it out. I saw Jose out of his house too, he was doing something to their van, probably effing it up. Haha

Then we kind of moved inside and cleaned the house. Actually, I think we cleaned inside first then went outside. It doesn't matter, because we still worked. It was fine though, not my house looks beautiful. I am planning on keeping it like that until Christmas or the end of the year.
Hopefully we can have people over soon as well.

The it was car washing time! -.- Yeah. In the middle of November. And I am not talking about going to an actual Car Wash and getting our vehicle semi-professionally cleaned, no, I'm talking about doing it ourselves with cold water and rags. Yeah. I was the hose boy. I'm good with it, haha.

After that, since we were doing and it was only about four I got on my computer and watched anime in Japanese. I love it! It's so cute! And I can understand some of it. Like, 1/4 of what is being said. Go me!

Mom came home from work and we went out to eat. Everything was pretty much closed but we got to Golden Corral an hour and a half before they closed. The heffers charged more because it was a holiday: 11 per person plus 2 for drinks. Yeah. It was $60 for the four of us.

Turns out we are not going shopping tomorrow because my dad has to work. It sucks, because I wanted to go out and get cool new stuff like movies or probably even an iPod! Grrr. Oh well.

Thanks!

Still Working

At this moment I find myself still doing work for yearbook and journalism. I don't blame anyone else but me though; I keep putting stuff off. My usual problem.

Today Mid-Terms were handed out during first period. I had all As and a B in U.S. History. That's not my real updated progress though; Ms. Frank didn't realize grades were due so she just gave us the ones she had previously recorded. Lame. Liar. Loser. LaVitch.

I realized that one of the girls under my yearbook section had an F in Journalism. I am partly taking the blame on that because, being the Academics Editor, I haven't given out real assignments.

Speaking of being Editors. I am the Editor-in-Chief of The Cannon, and I truly believe I am not doing as great a job as I could be doing. But then again, there was no Editor-in-Chief last year so I really don't know what to do or what to follow. I know one of my duties is to make sure all staff writers have their stories, but seeming that I am only in one Journalism class I don't ever see or know the other ones. I think that next semester I will take both classes to make a bigger impact and participate in yearbook meetings.

If I auctioned myself, would you bid and strive to get me? I ask this because I want to take part in the fundraiser for The Cannon newspaper and yearbook. And I don't want to do it if no one will even try to get me and just make a fool of myself. That is one of the things Ms. Jesse is afraid of: Feelings being hurt.

Oh yes, of course, U.S. History. Ms. Frank spent half the period looking for our Chapter 9 tests. She seems to have misplaced/lost them. Her usual self on crack, I guess. I really want to make it my job to get her fired. But that is evil and it contradicts my philosophies in life.

Oooh! Remember the new cute boy I've been talking about in my English class? Well, he and I were the only ones done with a small project. I felt special somehow. As if by accomplishing this I will gain his friendship, trust, and love. It's a small step towards the long road of hope leading to the City of Dreams.

I was really busy today during fourth period. I didn't realize until later that I had barely spoken with Summer at all.
It was mainly due to the teacher not being here and me having to help the ENL students since no passes were allowed to go and get help. I was moving around the room from end to end translating and showing where the answers were located in a passage. Then the bell rang. Time went by fast for me.
Even non-ENL students call me George/Jorge now. I love Andres. He is silly. I told him his name was my first name and he said that he was going to change it then.
I let him have the Sports section of my Indy Star and I explained to him why I didn't read that section.

I was surprised to see Tech alumni during Music App today. I thought it was only going to be Chordially Invited. But there were more! I definitely wasn't expecting to see Amber and Claire! They are awesome people. Austin was looking good too.

I guess Ms. Brown wanted to show us off by having us sing most of our songs. This was really bad for the basses (only Angel and me up there!). It didn't help that the guests were attentively listening for later critique amongst each other, as usual. We handled it, though. And later, Lerron showed up and helped too.

Ms. D and Ms. H had some of us on a search for the Christmas trees. Somehow they disappeared. They weren't in the Guitar/Prop Room or the Technician Dressing Room where same-sex members go in and dress for shows at the same time. Ms. H really wanted to locate these two trees to adorn them for Christmas. I hope she found them. I found the small one that they always put by the window on top of the piano in the music office.

Lunch. Yay. Japanese. Yay-er.

SMOGEE. Free day! No IUPUI people showed up and Ms. Solchik wasn't there. Since we are a special class, no assignments were . . . assigned. We talked the whole period and some of us (me) read. Or at least tried to.

Right now we are getting the house ready for visitors. People are coming over to celebrate Thanksgiving with yummy Mexican food.

And I am still stuck trying to write my Illegal Immigration story and making up assignments for my section staff.

Fucking Bitch

Sorry, but I think those two exact words really describe Ms. Frank. That is why she can't get no man! Because she's a fucking bitch!
The reason why I am saying this is because she took my Chapter 13 test and told me I had a zero on it. This is because I had started talking after I was done with my friend Monique who wasn't taking the test at all. We were discussing how much of a bitch Ms. Frank was for getting her suspended. Just for having a gray undershirt that she could have easily hid underneath her polo. She was being infantile and stupid.
Eventually, as usual, she walked out of the room and left the class unattended to do some random shit. I really wanted to go to the phone and personally call Mr. Huggins or Ms. Bogard asking them whether they could send someone there to watch over us since no adult was present. That would have probably gotten her packing her shit right now and looking for another school. I just might some day. She really isn't a teacher.

Anyway.

Fundraisers for The Cannon and yearbook! We were talking about auctioning people off for dates and dinner. Do you know what I am talking about? Let's say The Cannon was going to auction me. People (crazy people, if you ask me) would bid for me and the highest bidder would get me. Dinner would also be included. This is a pretty nice fundraiser that we hope Mr. Huggins will let us do. With the right people and no emotions hurt.
We agreed that "music" people and magnet people would be the ones actually participating in the bidding.

Today in English I read a short story titled By The Waters of Babylon which reminds me of the popular song Rivers of Babylon (...by the rivers of Babylon...). The story was actually pretty good and nicely done, I think.
I was being distracted by the new cute boy, of course. How can someone be so cute!?

I forgot what I did in fourth period. Except that I got a hug from Josh and a girl grabbed my butt. Yeah. She really wanted to and I had never let her. I let my guard down today and she took advantage. I also got slapped by Josh for leaving him with questions yesterday. It was pretty funny, but then again, it's Josh!

We had Technicians again, just because Chordially Invited is coming tomorrow to sing for us. Yay!

Slave-Duty
I had to go and stuff mailboxes with permissions to take kids out of class. I think I've done that six times already. It's not that hard, but it is tedious because we don't have the keys that open all of the mailboxes at once so we do them individually. Our best method so far is opening them all first and then sticking the papers inside and shutting them. It's pretty easy, but annoying. Oh well.

Lunch. Yay. Nothing special. I had hot popcorn! Whooo~ Black people talking about black people are so hilarious. Especially if the "talking" is racist.

Japanese! Yay! Sensei has been having us translate a lot of stuff lately. And we can do it! Well, most of us! It's really fun, and I really feel confident. I think I just need to be entirely surrounded by Japanese to really get me going. Just as it was with English!

Last day of SMOGEE! Yay! Technically, if you want to get technical, it's our penultimate day since we still have to go on December 4th to go around and present our boards.
I really can't stand my kids. They just can't focus.

Journalism after school. I really need to keep going on my story because there are still some questions unanswered.
We're also looking into another fundraiser: shirts. They sell hoodies too! With personalized logos! They are hot! I'm going to get one! Possibly!

By the way, just a question: Why are ghetto people so ghetto? Do they not realize their actions also make others look bad? Or feel embarrassed? I think they have some sort of brain tumor or ADD/ADHD. Do they have common sense at all? I think I should address this in an essay. But I need statistics and studies, and that's just too much. I think I will just let black people be racist to each other. It's pretty funny.

No Johnie today.

Good Or Bad Influence. Priorities.

Am I a good or bad influence on your life?

I think that should be my next Honesty Box question. I just ask this because I think I was the one who got people to start blogging. And it's really fun! Somehow I think of it as a way to keep in touch when we all go our ways after high school. -sigh-

We got assigned seats in U.S. History. The lameness! Oooh~ I'm all right though. I will still keep on doing my work and texting at the same time. It's much better now, for texting, I mean, because I am away from the teacher.

Sustained silent reading in English! Yay! Angels & Demons is so good! And the new cute boy is just so cute! I guess he really is a good student because he keeps on reading even when the class bitches, sorry, class clowns start being annoying and loud and disrespectful. I do the same. I've always ignored ignorant effers.

I now actually feel like I am helping in my Peer Tutoring class. I guess my friend Summer is the one who keeps me going. I think I would have already dropped that class by now and switched to another Japanese class to get more practice. But she's there and we keep each other company and talk about stuff and life and boys. It's nice. Our friendship has definitely grown a lot more this year.

We had Technicians today. That was weird. I definitely felt confident and was singing louder than usual. I thought I did a good job blending in with Isaac. I think I just need to know my stuff and be more confident. I am confident in Techoir, but not Technicians because in Technicians we do everything so quick and we barely have time to actually get the notes right. Or so I feel.

Lunch. Yay. Nothing special. Except a new arrangement of tables and chairs. People seriously need to stop fucking with them! It's getting old!

Nothing much to say about Japanese. Same stuff. I understand. And I think I know more vocabulary than two other girls, and Liz knows a bit more than I do. I think she does actually study. I hope I can continue my studies of Japanese in college, otherwise this would seem like a waste of time! And I really want to learn Japanese! (My goal is to have a cute Japanese boyfriend, you see. Tee-Hee)

SMOGEE. Yay. We talked about the positive things we've seen in our students and something positive from us. It almost got emotional. Someone else felt it besides me. Tomorrow will be our last day, then we are going back on December 4th to do a presentation to other 7th graders. Speaking of SMOGEE, it's almost 10 and I've yet to type out their papers for their board. Whoops.

That leads on to my other topic: Priorities
I've probably talked about getting my priorities straight and whatnot. But it's really hard. Once I turn my computer on Facebook and Blogger pull me in. Then, since my piano keyboard is right behind me, I go and practice my little song that I am hoping I will be able to perform with April for the Techoir Spring Concert. It'd be cute.
Something I should be really worried about: college. I've only applied to IU and U of I. UofI is private so I don't really want to go there. But I doubt IU will really accept me, ya know? I should really get my name out there and apply to IUPUI and Purdue as well. I am just so lazy and barely find time for myself. On top of that, I also want a job! I really do! I need the money!

I forgot to mention that I went to pick up my Senior pictures from Prestige on Saturday. They got my order wrong and my 16 by 20 pic was not included so they are going back and re-ordering it. It should be here in about two weeks. Yay.

I called my teacher from 4/5th grade back in Mexico and she told me to send her pictures. Last time I talked to her, face to face was 7 1/2 years ago. On the phone: 6 or 7 years.

She's really proud of me.

Oooh! My cousin might be coming here from Mexico for winter break! Yay! I love him. He's cute too. -GASP- ehl-oh-ehl. He's a bit younger than my brother and I. But same age, kind of.

I was actually reading a chapter today from my history book and it was really interesting. Talking about the Klan and important information from the Twenties. I think that's actually a nice period because of the mass media and flappers and Jazz.

Nothing Much

There really wasn't anything major or important going on this weekend. Except for the Fall Play! I thought it was funny and awesome! We had some really good actors and funny sexual innuendos. I almost wish I would have tried out for something. Geez.

I kind of want a smallish role in Cinderella. I am happy with chorus though.

I may have a birthday party! My parents were talking about it and getting the place to reserve it ahead of time. I hope we have one! It will be our only real party here! Our 18th birthday! I just hope people don't show up with dildos and random gay stuff for me. I'm thinking of also inviting my friend Johnie, he could bring all his rich gays and buy me cool stuff! Yeah!
But yeah, a birthday party sounds great right now. And college doesn't seem that impossible either.

Somehow, church was real special to me today. Probably because the choir sounded good and we are doing a new pretty song.
Jose might be going to my church next week! Wooo! He's getting a new experience. I hope he wants to sing in our choir just for that day...

Yay for new bloggers! By the way, Summer, it popped! Ugh and Ewwwies!

"He was big!"

That was my usual response to those who dared ask me why I was walking funny today. I received many different reactions garnished by funny looks. It was funny.
I didn't really want to explain the truth of my pain.

I woke up really early today just to send a morning text message to Jeffrey. That was at 6:11 a.m. I went back to bed as soon as I had pressed "Send" just because I was warm and cozy in my bed and really didn't want to get up. I eventually did though, -sigh-

I was left in charge of shutting down the computers in Journalism after period one today. This was because Ms. Jesse had to go to a Springboard workshop and she didn't want her other students to have access to her account. I am pretty sure she meant log off, but I shut them down anyway. She'll probably tell me to just log off tomorrow morning since she won't be there again.

Today we had silent reading in English! Yay! I was really getting into Angels & Demons by the time we had to leave. The awesomest part was this, though: Cute new boy sat right in front of me. As in the chair right after mine! The seat he had taken on Tuesday was taken today by a girl. So I told him to sit in front of me since the boy who sits there wasn't at school today. I want him nearby, so I can silently work my magic.

I actually did something fourth period today! That was stapling papers for the ICP students. I also tried to help two ENL students but it was worthless. They pretty much got it anyway.
I was also given chocolate by my friend Summer. It made me happy and warm. Tee-Hee.
Oooh~ Andres was trying to be funny today by standing over the door and putting his leg up so I wouldn't be able to go into the classroom. He failed though.

Musica! Yay! Ms. Brown said she could hear the three basses; Angel, Jose, and me. Greg said it was only me though. And I really never heard Angel sing. I heard Jose because he messed up. I just hope they can deal with this next year without Isaac or Peter.
Audrey looked really cute today. I don't know if it was her little necklace or if it was her make up, but she looked really cute.

Lunche! Yay! The whole table pretty much works on Sudokus while eating. It is really funny. It's almost like the intellectual kids are right there and everyone around us is just ghetto and immature and unimportant. That's pretty cool.

April-Honey wasn't here today due to emotional problems that she is facing at the moment. Therefore, I walked to Japanese alone. I tried to hurry but my pain slowed me down while trying to go up the stairs. It's so much easier to go down, really.
Sensei was pretty much speaking Japanese the whole period, which was awesome. We could all understand her! It was awesome! She told us we could probably write about our daily lives in Japanese. Awesome-ne?

Wee! SMOGEE! The poster board was due today. What do we have on the board? Just the title that I made yesterday. The kids pretty much expect me to do everything, which I am not going to. I told them it was their grade. I really can't blame one for having a really bad case of ADHD. But then again, I think everyone has that.

There was a staff meeting after school today so some of us Junior Scientists weren't able to go the library. We stayed in our teacher's room playing Uno. I was texting Edric while playing too. It was okay.

I froze my ass off for 20 minutes waiting for my mom to pick us up. It's getting so cold, and it started snowing a little bit too.

We came home and ate then headed back to school again for the College Fair for hispanics. They always do raffles to encourage public attendance. We won two things: a mug with candies and an IUPUI t-shirt. Yay!

College doesn't seem so impossible now. I just really need to start looking for them scholarships.

Today's Post (Read Yesterday's First)

I wasn't texting as much in U.S. History as I am coming used to. Johnie texted me first. So I blame him. Kind of. Ehl-oh-ehl
I did manage to do some work though. And people need to quit being rude.

Oh, there was an announcement on the intercom saying that "all hispanic students should report to the forum." I thought we were about to get deported! I'm jay-kaying!
But that was rude. They could have at least told all hispanics the day before so as not to embarrass them all in front of the whole school! My teacher asked me if I wanted I pass. I just said "Can't you see I'm hispanic!?" She and the other students laughed and she gave me a pass. So I went to the stupid gathering. About something I already knew. I think I was only there for like five to eight minutes when the bell rang and I just decided to head out for my next class: English 11.

We had to pick a book on which to do a book report. We will be getting class time to read our book and on the due date, the teacher will be having us answer questions instead of us actually writing a book report. I got Angels & Demons. I haven't read that and I've been meaning too. It's worth 600 points.
I tried to talk to DJ, but Shanez was doing most of the talking. She asked him if he was gay or bi! He said neither.
DJ is very cute by the way, in case I missed that in the other entry, tee-hee.
We talked a bit, pretty much like two minutes since I had to leave the library early to do a presentation for School 91.

The presentation was okay, except that I didn't get to talk. Not that I really wanted to anyway. I hope they come for the Foreign Language Magnet!

I skipped the rest of fourth period and went to Techoir. We did Christmas, yay!

Then Technicians! Stupid Christmas Wish. I am actually starting to like it, ehl-oh-ehl. Because it's my senior year I guess.

Emily Green's birthday! I think she turned Seventeen! Whooo~ Technician Kiss!

Lunch. With the bitches. They fucking moved our shit! From our table to another table! I don't even know how their scrawny asses lifted my book bag because it sure wasn't light! I'm not like them, only carrying a purse and a fucking comb in my back pocket!
Whatever. At least they guaranteed us seats and a table.

Japanese was cut short for me today because of another SMOGEE day. Meh. Almost there. I saw Dylan at Shortridge. He still cute, ehl-oh-ehl.

Since I had nothing to stay after for, I went to the library and cut out some letters for my kids and printed out some polar bear pictures for them to use on their final project; a poster board displaying and telling what they learned during these past six weeks.
It's too much for their smallish brains.

Yesteryday's Info

Oooh~ Ms. Frank will not be at school for this whole week! Yes! Now I need to stop texting in class and start doing my work.
I was surprised when I felt my phone vibrate and looked down too see who the text message was from; it was Johnie! My friend from Greenwood! Him and I have been talking for a week now, but it was usually me who started off the conversations. Now he texts me! He is really funny and he does color guard too! He likes rifles though.

Oh, there was a new (hot, cute, sexy-as-hell, yummy-looking) boy in class today. I've yet to personally ask him about himself and what-not. But my friend Shanez asked him his name and he said it was DJ. Hmmm. She thought he was gay. I really hope so. He's cute.

I texted during most of my fourth period. That's my "free" period, so why not? I also helped my friend Andres with his Spanish homework; it was pretty confusing because you had to unscramble letters to make words for body parts. I didn't get most of them.

We had a talk from Ms. Brown about the All City event on Saturday for the opening of BOA Grand Nationals. She was embarrassed, she said. And I guess I would be too. Actually, upset. But then again, they could have just had Techoir do it; it would have sounded better.

I walked by Ms. D's door and her "4th Period Student Microwave Privileges Revoked" sign was up. She told me she was going to get revenge, and she did. She also hid the 1000-Piece puzzle and turned the only table in the office over and put the chairs up so no one could chill in there. So I went and sat on the floor. With my book bag and big coat on. She just laughed.

Oh yeah. Ghetto lunch. Can you believe a girl almost fought me over a fucking chair? Well, it was kind of my fault too for not wanting to let go of the chair. But then again, it was my brother's, and his stuff was on it, and she had just decided to take the stuff off and put them on the floor. I am sorry. But what the fuck is that shit? Only ugly ghetto people do that! There is no need! First come, first serve! She just pissed me off! So she and her uglies went and sat down somewhere else. She warned us that they wanted their table back the following day.
Overall, I think people need to stop removing tables and chairs from the cafeteria to avoid these problems with ugly ghetto people. I really did almost punch her in her fucking ugly face.

Sorry.

I read my Japanese letter out loud today. My teacher liked it. I had two mistakes, but it was all fine. I thought it was cute.

SMOGEE again. Bleh. I am glad it is almost over.

We had a National Honor Society meeting after school. I can't remember what we talked about. I think they wanted to do Toys For Tots, but Key Club is already doing that. Go Key Club! Whooo~

The meeting ended pretty early so my brother and I went to the music office. Lance and Vannesha (sp?) were there working on the puzzle and dancing to random music. It was okay; at least I wasn't out freezing my ass off.
Joey showed me some cute love too! She's so cute. I asked her why she couldn't be my sister and she said that probably because we wouldn't get along. So I'm glad. She still hasn't talked to me though. About something she told me she wanted to talk about. Hmmm...

My text message inbox consisted of mainly two days today: Johnie and Jeffrey. Johnie is wild, let's say. Jeffrey isn't, so much.

Mukashi Mukashi

Right now I am in the middle of typing out my letter for Japanese. I want it to be funny and cute.

Oh my God! Today I finally got a call from Marilee Updike, she's the ESL Coordinator of IPS. I had been trying to talk to her for an interview forever! Today she finally called! At 4:24 p.m.! I was in the restroom though -.- As soon as I felt the phone vibrate in my pocket I thought it was a text message. But then it kept on vibrating. So I was all "%$@! and *&^&%!" and stuff. So I got up and pulled my pants up. I reached into my packet for my phone and in the process dropped it in the trash bin (ugh! Ewwwies!). Luckily enough, the phone tilted the small trash can and it fell on its side, emptying its nasties. Yeah. Just my luck, huh? So I hurried and told Ms. Updike to wait until I got my pen and steno pad out (hah! I was actually trying to pick up the trash with a tissue while trying to zip and button my pants).
So I hurried down the stairs with my pants falling off of my hips and sat on the couch with my pen and steno pad. The interview took about 22 minutes. It was really interesting and she really wants the Dream Act to be passed.

Today I had an emotional breakdown due to college stress and me not being able to go. I blame myself the most because I haven't been managing my time and I haven't set my priorities straight. I rather be on Facebook or some other websites than typing out essays or even looking for private scholarships.
So I was talking to Dr. Robinson and my counselor about it and they got to the point of asking each other whether they knew of girls that would marry me. It was funny.
My counselor would've married me, ehl-oh-ehl.
The breakdown was after this talk though, right on my way to fourth period. I walked in the class and saw some people I loved and I just started crying. So the teacher took me to a corner and asked me what was wrong. I told her and what not. Other people asked me too. Even Andres! (Woo! I'm going to tell him all about it tomorrow during class) I just really want to stay here. -sigh-

After I had calmed down, I was sent with my friend Summer to put up posters for Toys for Tots out in hallways and in front of offices. I really want Key Club to be awesome this year. I want to be known for having made a difference somewhere, in someone's life. I just want to be remembered.

Oh my gosh! Fifth period was crazy today! Evil seniors cleaned up Ms. D's desk! Everything was gone! Even her file cabinet that is right next to it. Of course she didn't find that out until 7th period. April and I were there. I was recording her every reaction and facial expression. She sounded sad, ehl-oh-ehl. I'll see when I'll put the videos up on Facebook/YouTube for everyone's enjoyment.
Since it was her lunch time, I helped her find a fork through all her stuff that was shoved into the "senior" file cabinet. It was funny.
But let me say something: I hear revenge acomin'! She said so herself. She wouldn't tell me what though. She only said "Wow, they gave me a whole 24 hours to think of something!" And she laughed. This is going to be great!

Today I didn't text my friend Jeffrey as much as I could have. I feel like a bad friend, ehl-ehm-ay-oh.

Angel got a cute monkey from Build-A-Bear for his birthday. I think he's 16 now! I took pictures of him and his cute monkey. He loved it.

Go Reverse Osmosis

I learned a lot today, mainly due to the fact that two guys showed up to test our water. Overall, it was pretty cool and interesting.
I learned that water from the faucet, even if "purified" by a home filter, will still hold high amounts of chemicals including lead. We did a small test with a bulb and electric current; filtered water turn the bulb on, and bottled water did not. Yeah.
Somehow, after sticking some metal sticks in a beaker with both kinds of water, our water turned an ugly green with some kind of rust floating. That was disgusting! And it's what we drink!
Here's what they offer: a full system that purifies and cleans water for the entire house. Through reverse osmosis (I haven't yet looked up the process, but it's the same Aquafina uses). The price? A mere $7,600. To be paid in monthly payments of $126.77 I think he said it'd take five years to pay it off. But it is a really nice system and great for every one's health.
That's why I drink bottled water honeys! Aquafina. Fine Water, apparently.

Today I was supposed to go with April to Angie's church. I couldn't, of course, because my dad had to work (on a Sunday!) and we had to drive my mom to church (she doesn't dare drive downtown) for her to be there at 11.
I had plans to go to both churches, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to. I hope we can go next Sunday! (Apie, Angie?)

So I went to my church today with my hot-green Aeropostale shirt and hot jeans on. My hair was hot too. I need to get it cut though, it's getting long at the top.
Also, there was this really hot white dude filming today's Fiesta after the service. His facial hair was sexy and he had the coolest choker on. He was hot. One of my girls took two pictures of him; they aren't great, but they show him, kinda.
I tried to accidentally bump into him but he kept on moving. At one point I lined up right behind him to get tamales but I did it too late and he left. Oh well.
I didn't even get a name! How lame!

My family was invited to go out to eat with some friends so we went to a Chinese place. I was full because I had gotten out of the Fiesta so I had a plate of rice and more stuff and a salad with lime and salt. I was so bored that I had an ice cream and more soda.
I need to stop texting under the table. I need to stop texting as much, period.

My brother had a tennis match to go too so my dad took him in the middle of dinner. Laym! That's why they lost!

After eating, we went to my friend's house (same family as dinner). The, guy, who's also in church choir and a good friend of mine had on a black Aeropostale shirt on and hot jeans too. We almost dressed alike! He's not too bad, either.

I love my little Godsister; she's so cute and she can almost talk now. I love seeing her run around the house and smiling and laughing.

Stress To Go, Please

Now that I don't have to stay at school until 7-ish, I realize I have more time to catch up and do homework. I can also finally study for Japanese tests and try to get a job!

Speaking of tests, I took one today. And a quiz.
The test was in English. We had a vocabulary test on some words from The Devil and Tom Walker. The first time I took the test I did bad; 15/25. Today was the retake, and I felt pretty confident; I think I was the first one done with it actually.

The quiz was in Japanese. It took my by surprise because I didn't know about it. Mainly because I had not been in class for about three days and didn't have much study time. Thanks to R.J., though, I was able to pass it with a perfect score. It's not like I cheated, no. I just memorized the last answer and saw what the test included. Overall, I only missed one word. Hey!
We are also doing a play in Japanese. It's called Momotarou. Literally, Peach Boy, kind of. Since I am the only boy in the class I will be the lead! Go me! Not only do I get to memorize lines! I get to do it in another language!

Okay, so I guess Ms. Frank was degraded by her first period class. She is leaving for a few days and we don't know when she'll come back (never hopefully). She came into second period with her eyes out and boogers across her cheek; well, not really, but kind of. I hope we get Mrs. Newsom back because I learned with her!

Oh my God! Fourth period was the best today! I am getting some attention from a cute sophomore. His name is Andres. (I think I have a thing for Andreses/Andrews) He is really funny; he calls me George to get my attention and flagboy when I don't respond immediately. He's pretty cool though. And he calls me over to his table just to talk to me and to hold my cell phone. I wonder if he is. I really don't think so, but it'd be nice.
Have I mentioned I like something to hold on to? Yeah, Andres is tall, and chubby. So it's fine. I was called a Chubby Chaser by my friend Jeffrey. That is somewhat true. Tee-hee.

Speaking of unlimited texting and a full keyboard to mess with, Jeffrey is the person I text the most. It used to be Johnie, but then he fell off the face of the Earth. I just don't feel like texting him. Anyway, I checked my Inbox folder, and his name repeats about 19 lines continuously and then someone else's name pops up. This goes on for the rest of the 100 messages that are automatically saved and removed.
He's awesome though.
In case you're wondering, I met him my sophomore year in AP Chemistry. He didn't talk though. He still doesn't O.O He does, but not really.

I spent my fifth period teaching teaching choreography to Kim. She's so cute. I wasn't the only one though; Audrey, Jesi and Isaac were there too. I didn't really feel like singing so I probably sounded like crap. Whatev.

I think n-words was finda bump up in the lunchroom tahday. Yeah, ghetto people. I dee kay why though, but suddenly people got up and started paying close attention to that one table where an argument was going on. Whatev.

SMOGEE is no fun anymore. I have the kid with the worst ADD/ADHD under my supervision and I can barely have him answer one question. It's super hard and he stresses me out.
It's almost over though! Yes! Finally!
Our teacher gave us Kroger cookies and I think they had something in them because everybody in the class was hyper after they were done. I know I was.

I rode the bus home o.o The boy sitting in front of me stank T.T People need to shower more often -.- At least every other Saturday.

Now I have to worry about what to wear for tomorrow at Lucas Oil. I think I'm going to take a change of clothes with me because I don't want to be looking like shit all day. I can't wait to see how awesome the bands are.

Band Season Is Over

It's sad but true. Everyday I would look forward to staying at school until six. Ten during home games too. No I have to come home at around four. I will actually have time to do homework and finish small projects I've been meaning to for ages!

Bands of America marked the end of Marching Band season being over last night. But it also opened Grand Nationals were bands from all across America compete here in Indy. Awesome! But it also says that IPS is not good enough for competition. I wonder if "All-City" could do it? If the directors got together and chose the best music! With just Tech's Color Guard, of course! That'd be cool.

What sucked about last night was the rain and the coldness put together. It didn't work that I only had a muscle shirt to "cover" me from the cold. I pretty much think everyone was cold and wet. And pissed because of the truck driving away with the percussion.
Some instruments broke before the show too.

Being in there was awesome, but I was a little scared of the echo at first. We were fine though. And the band and color guard managed to stay together throughout the entire show.

It was great though, performing in there. I'm a strong believer in us, and I still can't see why we didn't even get second place. I guess because we don't strive to be mediocre/ghetto.

Last night was our last night with Jess. She's awesome. And I freaking love her. I hope she does great stuff in life and that she keep in touch with us. She made special little scrapbooks for guard members. They were nice.

Today was All City Choir rehearsal. I wish people were more cooperative and less rude just so we could all get along and get stuff done faster. Tenors don't need to shout either. People just need to stop being ghetto. It's not necessary and it's just ugly.

Oooh~ Today a high school from Alabama came and used the parking lot to practice for their performance tomorrow for Grand Nationals. Their show had a Magic theme to it and the guard had a girl disappear at the end of the show. It was awesome! I was clapping! And then they showed me the girl; turns out she was hidden "in" a table!!! Yeah! I hope they win. They were awesome. And one of their drummer boys was cute too ^^.

Right now I am being overwhelmed by work. Mainly Journalism, and Yearbook.

Business Cards

They are done! I figured out a way to make them! It wasn't that hard but the first ones were really crappy because the ink was a bit rusty, and I definitely had to change the black one. Overall, I take it more as a learning experience. My dad was really happy about them though, and he's going to start handing them out tomorrow to rich people.

I had a test today in U.S. History. I think I did pretty well, but I don't know how well. I know I'll have at least a B.
Oh and apparently Ms. Frank and one of her students, Donnell Effing Duncan, will appear in Tyra Bank's Show! For what? He was voted best intern for Obama's campaign. Eff him. Actually, I'm just jealous.

Today I was supposed to have my English book with me but I didn't, but since the teacher knows I'm a great student, he let me borrow his. I took pictures of the answers too ^^v

Today I flirted around with a boy in ICP today. He's a cute sophomore. Kind of a smart-ass, but still cool. I love him

Today was also Kimmy's first day in Technicians! She did great I think. ^^
Ms. H made sure to tell me not to have a great day today because of yesterday's funny incident. She loved me! ^^

We watched Japanese Anime today! We went pretty far into the movie too! Something that is really rare in that class. Then I had to leave T.T For Shortridge. Most of the kids in there are ADD/ADHD! I swear! They are so annoying and inappropriate!

Band sucked a little because it was freezing cold outside. After a while though, my hands went numb and I didn't feel them anymore. I was afraid I was going to get frostbite or something though. It was that bad! And cold, wet poles don't help much either.
We did great though. I think we are getting 1st place! I hope so!

Charging The Cell

My phone is currently being charged because, as you may have repeatedly heard from me, tomorrow I get unlimited text messaging and I will be texting away my friends I don't see everyday. And Steven, ehl-oh-ehl.

Let me see, something important that happened today. Band!
It was freaking cold! My hands were burning! After a while my hands did go numb and I didn't feel the flagpole, but they still hurt a little. Then, after I tossed the flag up it came down and hit my cold index finger hard. It was the one that had once been broken too. And I can still feel it. I can't move it much. But oh well. Then, I got hit in the head by another flagpole. I blame this mainly on myself because I should have been looking for the flags. But it still hurt and much sympathy was shown towards my burning head. I don't recommend you getting hit in the head by a flagpole.

Before that, though, I had a Yearbook meeting and I created a list of work for the people that were assigned to my section. Since I am the Editor I can make them work for me -smiles-.
I also took this time to finish my ACT/SAT story. And she forgave my Illegal Immigration story not being done because she wants me to talk to someone downtown about it.

Right now I am trying to make my dad's business cards with a new software he bought me. It was $30 I think. It's real nice, but he got mad because he wanted me to use the one I made yesterday. Of course I can't because the software only has pre-designed business cards. I think I found a way to actually do it though, but not right now; it's 11 p.m.

Unexistent Company

Right now I am being employed, without payment, by my dad to develop eye-catchy business cards for some lawn services he wants to offer around wealthy neighborhoods up in Carmel. I think it's pretty cool, but it's too much.
Whatever, we are letting him have his way. Making business cards is harder than it seems/sounds though. At least only using Paint, it is.

Yesterday, Saturday, some of the National Honor Society members had the opportunity of working at Second Helpings. It was pretty fun and we all really want to do it again; especially me to peel/chop onions.
Some of us who didn't have hats, or decided not to wear them, got to wear "beautiful" hair nets. They were pretty silly-looking on most of us, but fun. So Angie, Audrey, my brother and I decided to wear them at random times during the day. Yay for randomness! ^^v

Then Brahms. Yay! It wasn't that bad. Except the seating at the church because some of us were being squished! I had Johnny and Angel pretty much close enough to be more than friends. I looked behind me and I could see room for like three people. It was annoying, but I didn't mind it much.
The music was awesome. Especially Number 2. Everything was really emotional and cry-able. I didn't cry though: good!
The greatest thing about this performance was that my choir director from church did actually show up! He lives in Bloomington, so that is really nice from him! He told me from far away, with the help of sign gestures, that it was pretty awesome and he would see us next week.

So we finally got on the bus to get back to Indy. The ride home pretty much sucked because of all the people who decide they want to keep on singing random crap and being loud. Some of us had been up way before 2 in the afternoon so a little bit of understanding would have been nice.
Oh well.
So I came home and we got two medium pizzas for $14 at Just Pizza! They are awesome. They had our stuff done in 20 minutes. Yay. I ended up eating two slices from my pizza. Yeah. I have a small stomach.

Today I also got up early to get on my computer. I don't know why though. And I've also been getting messages from this dude in Beech Grove (I think? lol). He seems pretty cool. He wants to text but I told him not until Tuesday. He can't wait. Tee-Hee.
Brahms was nice today as well. Pretty tight, but nice.
After that we had to drop my bro off for a tennis match with his team. They ended up losing against a team of younger kids from Greenwood. They've been playing forever though, he said.
While he was getting tired I was eating Chinese food. Yay!

-sigh- Crying is a stress-reliever. I love crying. But not that much. I love talking to Edric on the phone too.

Oh, and something very cool: Steven sent me a text message asking me why I haven't been texting him. I thought that was nice (he was thinking of me! ^^). I just told him my problem with my little 300-message plan. I really can't wait for Tuesday to get here.
Oh, and April found the Little Town video! ^^ Yayness!

Major Breakdown

I mean to update last night, but seeming that I arrived home at around 10:30 at night ready to go to sleep, I just didn't find the energy to do it. Besides, I really needed some rest.

I had a breakdown in the middle of Brahms rehearsal last night too. It was mainly because Angel and I were passing a note to each other and then Joey so that so she tried to read the note but Angel didn't let her. Joey got mad, I think, and I felt guilty. She wouldn't talk to me as much as I told her that there was nothing bad in the note or whatever and that I loved her. She seem to not care and I remember that this year was my last year with her and I wanted her to be happy. I whispered into her ear "I love you" again and started crying. She noticed too because I had put my head on her shoulder and she felt it. So she started crying too. Eventually everyone noticed. Audrey and April took me out to the lobby so I could cry peacefully. Tesia gave me a hug when she saw me outside too.
This wasn't the first time it had happened either.

So I calmed down and things were better again. I think people need to pay more attention to the director who is madly conducting everyone. I noticed that he would cut us off and people were still singing, all into it and everything. And Altos did drag everyone. And they almost never look up either! It's so annoying.
Much to my chagrin, I didn't catch anything last night.

Today, the Technicians performed at the Gift and Hobby Show. It was the worst performance ever because it seems that pretty much everyone messed up. I know I messed up once. And I was right in front of everyone. It was more of a "Duh, look at me!" So embarrassing.
Oh well, I had a great time for the short time we were all there. I think Steven was trying to talk to me too but we never managed to. I need Nov. 11th to get here fast; I get unlimited texting then, so I can text Steven everyday at every moment.

So I called my dad to ask him if he could pick my brother and me up at school and he told me to get someone else to do it because he was at the hospital. I still don't know what for, but he's on his way home now.
I overheard my brother on the phone repeating something like "something behind the kidney" was hurting all day long. Ouch.

I have to wake up tomorrow early and go do some volunteer work with fellow National Honor Society members. Then probably come home and have lunch. Hopefully work on finishing up my stories and then head back to Tech for Brahms. I'm hoping I can sit with him on the bus, but I doubt I will be able to.

Stressed-Out
