Larry

My Uncle had to put Larry down today. =/






There is Larry and then my Uncle holding him. He's 17 though, so it's not like it's all that tragic.

Other than that today was the most boring day I've ever had in awhile.

I'm mentally exhausted from trying to think of something to do and laying around.

JJ and Mom brought home McDonalds and then him and I went and watched Wal-E.

It was an okay movie, cute, but I'd never see it again. Up was better. =p

After that I got the outline for Chapter 4 done of my book and then played Bejeweled 2 until Mom decided we should go visit Grammy.

We watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy then went back home.

Did you know they changed the Final Jeopardy waiting song?!

It's the same tune, but different instruments.

Fail.

I hope the rain stops so everyone can have a good graduation party.

I'm going to 3 in a row starting tomorrow. My cousins (which I don't want to go to), Jessica B.'s, and Cy's (which I do want to go to).

I also have a lesson with Ross tomorrow at 3 as well.

Hope you guys found something to do on this rainy and muggy day. =/

I Sang This

(Or should I say yesterday morning since it's 1 now)

I woke up to something I've been waiting for a long time.

Summer.

Which of course meant I had to sing School's Out For Summer while munching on Fruit Loops.

I'm planning on making a summer themed playlist and linking you on the side bar. I'll tell you when it's up, but I'm not going to put it on my blog.

Today JJ, Mom and I went to my Uncles house to see Larry, his little Pomeranian. It's pretty much the beginning of the end for Larry. While we were there he started having another seizure. I expect by tomorrow he'll be put to sleep. =/

He's 17 though, so he lived a good doggie life. =D

Next JJ and I went to The Range and I tried to help him with his golf. I hit only half a medium bucket of balls because I couldn't concentrate on trying to help him and help myself.

Drove back home and dropped him off them Mom and I went to Petites and I took pictures of flowers and her and Nicole (an employee helping her there) picked out the ones on the list my Mommy had.











Those are all the ones I liked out of the bunch I took. Some of them I'm still eeh about, but I'd like to hear what you think.

JJ said I should post a picture up of my computer background every time I change it, so here's what it was before:



And here's what it is now:



I like making my own computer backgrounds, I think that's the only reason why I take pictures of things. =p

After the flowers Devlyn invited me to Pulse up at Roseland Lanes. Jess and Bryan ended up coming as well. We bowled a quick game before going in the next room to dance.

Richie Miller showed up and started to try and mess around with Bryan so I pushed him away hard and was going to punch him in the face if it weren't for Dev stepping in between us.

=/

In the end the mood picked up again once he stayed away.

Dev's Mom got us all a free drink since she works there! =D

Got dropped off and chatted with my Mommy before coming upstairs.

Now I think I'll work on the outline for the book I'm writing.

=)

ily.

Dear Skin

Dammit you will tan.

Not burn.

TAN.

...

Finally finished section 2 of notes...these things take too damn long...2 hours a section at least

*headdesk*

Now I must catch up on my English book.

While lounging on the deck.

In my swimmy suit.

=)

Catch ya on the flip side yo.

ily.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Excuse my French.

(Whys it French anyways?)

Screw that. Excuse my Chinese.

So the afternoon was completely boring.

I got up, and was still sick, which also got me out of helping re-arrange JJ's room and take apart his bunk bed.

Now he has two normal beds. His room is cool though, I'm jealous.

Anyways, I read Of Mice And Men. It only took me about two hours, between 1 bathroom break and then helping my Uncle Scott try to find a CD that my Dad had borrowed from him (we still didn't find it).

It was a good read, kinda sad in the end though. =(

After that I took a few half naps during the day. My sinuses have been draining so I'm all bleh.

The only thing I've had to eat today was KFC (which I feel guilty about...I told JJ to go to Arby's for my popcorn chicken craving, not there...).

I was on the computer checking e-mails and chatting with Cyrus when Mom came up and asked if I wanted to rent a movie.

So I was like sure and got in the car and I drove up with her to Network video.

Well, in the distance near Panini's I saw a bunch of red and blue lights.

And no, I was not speeding.

Mom and I had thought that someone had tried to pull out of their parking lot and got hit.

I parked the car and then Mom and I went to investigate.

All the while I was pointing out the fact that you could be the happiest person in the world and it didn't matter because everyone is so interested in death and tragedy as soon as you see a car crash you go "OMG MUST CHECK THIS OUT!!!"

But I digress.

We went to the fence and there was a bunch of clothes in the parking lot. I watched Fox 8's video, and they showed them.

It was kinda scary since I was there to see some of it (not the actual shooting but the clothes and the jeep and such).

Apparently the two are still alive.

Man, what is wrong with people?

*sigh*

Went to Network video after that. The guy that owns the place (Scott) older son (who looks like he's maybe...7?) came up to me and wanted to sell some chocolate. Naturally since he was so cute he suckered me into buying some M&M's.



Then, the youngest son came up to me and handed me a little piece of paper with a smiley face drawn on it.



That made my day. ^-^

More things happened (but they're seeeecret). =x

Mom and I watched the new Mummy movie together, it was nice.

I still feel sick...bleh.

Hopefully it'll pass by tomorrow morning.

I'm going to work on a test map and stuffs tomorrow morning for VV.

Hopefully.

Oh yeah! I also gots a DailyBooth! I took that picture awhile ago...I still don't like it all the same though. I hate pictures of me. I always look...bleeeh.

ily.

Suddenly Tired

I suddenly feel so tired I don't want to blog anymore...

Found out which class Lost Asian has during 3rd period.

Also ran into Seizure Man and Peter Parker a few times as well!

Thinking of getting a Dailybooth account. I wish I had someone to take my pic though...it'd be easier...

I was going to get it today, but I'm too tired now. I'll do it tomorrow maybe.

Mr. J wasn't here today. We had a quiz and then watched a extremely boring/cheesy movie. =/

English we did our scheduling.

Piratically ran to 129 to sign up for my driving class. I got in though! =D

Cyrus drove me home. On the way he stopped to get gas and while he was out of the car Lienne and I colored in the little ceiling like with Sharpie markers. It's all pretty now. =p

Got to drive around after dinner...it took my 5 times to pull into the garage. But I pulled it in perfectly on the 5th time! =D

Just thought about checking if my library book is overdue or not. It needs to be renewed tomorrow. Mwuahahahahahahaha. I'm safe.

Worked out, tired now.

Will finish the rest of my homework tomorrow...

ily.

If You Cut Me I Suppose I Would Bleed the Colors of the Evening Stars

I'm addicted to Owl City right now. =p

Had the scheduling classes yesterday.

Methinks I will take honors Gov. and Econ (and yes they have it, it says it on the purple sheet).

I dunno. Jess says it's easy, mostly just lecture, take notes, then test, then more lecture, then more notes, then another test. Peaches says to go into honors too.

Thinking of going into Honors Chemistry. I dunno why I haven't been taking honors science classes, I'm good at science if I actually pay attention and apply myself. Something I'm starting to do in physics.

Know I'm dropping down to regular English again. Just can't do honors. I've always had A+'s in English since 1st grade. But I just can't do honors English. Either that, or I just can't do Newcomer's class.

Her tests are so stupid and such a bitch...

Also, I hate vocabulary. I've never remembered a single word we're learn and I normally fail the vocab. tests because I either forget to do them, or fall asleep as I study.

And who the fuck needs to write how you pronounce it with the little accent things or whatever you call them?

Stupid.

Going to take web page design next year. Was gonna take it this year but you all know what happened.

Hope I make it to Spanish 2...

Can't wait for the City Reads thing. Get more of The Bell Jar read. I like reading anyways.

Talked to Billy for the first time in ages yesterday, it was nice. =)

Got home, and had a headache to I took an Advil and slept from 3:30-5:30. Got up, ate dinner, did all my other homework and then watched Hero's with my Dad.

Was too tired to do the essay questions, which didn't matter anyways since the test today didn't have an essay.

Study hall today was fun.

The lady at the guidance desk handed us about 10 passes. I went "Oh my gosh, it's a pass explosion!" and she chuckled and was like "Wow, you're funny." =p

I made up a game with the passes too! You shuffle them, and pick them out, and then you add up the room numbers. Whoever has the lowest sum wins!

=D

Today marks the day of Cy and I being together for 2 months now. =)

There was a paragraph from the Grapes of Wrath on the history test. While I was reading it I was thinking "Why does this seem so familiar..." Then I saw the author and book title. =p

Abused Cyrus in art today. If his arm bruises I'm gonna laugh. =p

English was awesome.

Newcomer was in the classroom for only 5 minutes before she left to help peeps in the library. Max hid in her little closet thing and Jimmy smoked him out with Axe. Then we balled up one of Ellie's gloves and threw it around and played girls vs. boys pickle in the middle.

I made some good blocks. =p

Max, Vadict, and Jimmy roughed around a bit and hit and tackled each other. It was funny. =p

Then Max hid in the closet again and when Newcomer came back, she couldn't find him in it and he walked out right before she locked it. =p

The bell rang, and I ran into Carlos and hugged him. I miss giving Carlos hugs. =/

Talked to Mike for the first time in ages as well.

Beat Greg on the big 2 days in a row now!

Devvy chan's mom finally got the info to us this afternoon so Devvy chan will be sleeping over my house from tomorrow until Monday while her mom and mom's ex husband and now boyfriend again go on vacation.

Cleaned the guestroom out, did my physics and Spanish. Will do English tomorrow.

Now to catch up on youtube vids.

ily.

Jessica's Back! The Hunt! And Back Breakers!

Jessica is back from Ireland!!

She still doesn't have an accent though. =p

Discovered she is in my lunch and English class.

Claps and cheers!

Discovered that I did not have my:

-Spanish Binder
-Spanish Notebook
-Spanish Book
and
-History Binder

For the life of me I didn't know what happened to them.

Then something came to my attention while I was talking to my Aunt DB.

I had called to thank her for the outfit she got me for Christmas and that I had worn it today (thanks to the many that complemented how nice I looked =D).

Anyways, so I'm telling her how I lost my books and binders and I told her all the places I looked and she jokingly said "I but Cyrus stole them, ha ha!"

And then I realized...

HE DID.

O.O

Okay not really, he was carrying them for me and forgot to give them back (same difference though =x).

Apparently they might be in Touk's room.

I'm so glad I remembered what happened to them!

Although...I was pretty set on my theory that a little elf came and took them...

=p

It's the new year, so we're back to a serious workout at the Costello house.

Did the normal 3 sets this time instead of two, and we also did a new workout.

Back is quite sore now though...Dad says I should get it checked out. =/

Had a sub for a bus river this morning...man...why does it seem we only have them in the middle of winter where it's pitch black out in the morning?

He knew which roads to turn down, but he had no clue where the houses were. We tried to help him...

Charlie: You're going to want to slow down here
Bus Driver: *completely stops the bus* There's no one waiting here
Me: .....You have to go up about 3 more driveways, it will be on your right.
Bus Driver: *speeds past the house*
Charlie and I: ......You passed it...
Bus Driver: Well, if you would give me better directions

..........

*sigh* At least we made it to the school I guess...

When I got home from school today I putted in the basement and then played 2 games of pool...with myself...alone...without anyone to talk too...

Just kidding, it was actually quite peaceful. =)

For some reason I started feeling woozy so I lied down to take a small nap before dinner.

We had Matzo Ball Soup...I think I burnt my tongue on it though...it feels funny.

Also, I have managed to chew off all my pretty long nails that I grew over break...I blame school and my lack of ability to control my habit.

But mostly school.

=p

Talked to Mr. Mayer today, apparently he just didn't put my grade into progress book, but it is graded.

Got very angry today in math class...

Out of all the other problems Coach L has, with his daughter, and raising his other little ones, trying to help his wife, etc, it was brought to his attention on New Years that his mother has cancer.

I guess it's kind of a silly thing to get mad about but, he always has circles under his eyes now, and he is very quite, and always sounds sad all the time. I don't even remember the last time he smiled...

*headdesk*

Well...it can only get better...right?

=/

ily.

It's Late

I'm thinking of pulling an all-nighter because I'm not tired at all but I dunno what to do.

Sure there is Twitter, but it all depends on how many people tweet.

I've watched all my youtube vids.

Already took my midnight shower.

I could be productive and finished reading the rest of the chappie summaries and commentary on Grapes Of Wrath.

I also need to catch up on my Vampire Knight Guilty episodes.

Might work on my outline for my book Maro. Polo. Die.

Haven't set my eyes on that for awhile. =/

I cleaned my room a bit (amazing right?) and I found the THING.

I was thinking of giving it to JJ but I threw it in my closet (heh, we'll never see it again).

Speaking of which, JJ needs to go to the doc's tomorrow.

Apparently he whacked his one finger really hard on something and it's been purple and swollen since the end of the party last night.

=/

I hope it's okay...

Probably just sprained though, right?

Only a few more hours till Cy comes over...

And I can't sleep them away.

=/

Humph.

ily.

It's 2009!!!

Now what?







When I did finally go to sleep last night I was sleep talking.

Me: Ugh...everyone go home..
Mom: Ashley, everyone is home.
Me: Noo...they're all here, I want to sleep...
Mom: Ashley, it's 4AM, everyone is gone, you are asleep
Me: Noo...*mutters something insignificant*

I kept on thinking everyone was in my room drinking shots and partying still. =p

Woke up at 2:15 today and watched the Twilight Zone marathon they had on Scifi!

50 Years!!

Read the chappie summaries and commentary on The Grapes Of Wrath.

It's actually quite interesting, I'll have to actually read the book sometime. =)

Played a little pool then changed my blog template back to the sunset one as you can see.

This is my favorite. =)

That's about it.

Cy is coming over tomorrow, and then on Saturday we're going to bake something for my Grammy and visit her! =D

ily.

Um...boo?

Dammit I'm out of creative postie title at the moment...

So JJ keeps calling me his little sister now because he's taller than me...and...he's 3 years younger than me...

*sigh*

In a way it's actually kinda cute. ^-^

Didn't get my Spanish test back yet...I wanna see how I did!! =/

Mr. Johansson said I'd be fine about the test...

I've decided to quit crying over it and laugh at myself instead, so it's all good. =)

My bus driver was laughing at my bad karma. =p

Coach isn't going to be at school for awhile because his daughter is getting hip surgery. What's cool though is that his mom is going to be taking over for him. Should be interesting.

History class we watched the rest of the PBS video, I was actually interested in it, so it was good. =)

Art was normal.

English had a test.

When I got home I finished my Spanish homework and talked to my mom in Spanish. She was having fun getting me to say different things. =p

JJ was sick today...

=/

HOLY SHIT JJ JUST WALKED INTO MY ROOM AND WAS ALL LIKE "I GOT YOU A PRESENT!!" AND I WAS ALL "WHAT IS IT?!" AND HE GAVE ME A KOLONDIKE BAR...

I must pause in my blogging while I eat this gift from the gods...

I gots chocolate on my nose. =p

Caramel talked to me on my blogger chat and said he hurt his foot at diving!

=/

He's not gonna be in school anyways since he has an ortho. appointment though. =/

Hero's on tonight!!

Eclips!!

o.o

OMG ALSO!!


Bad news! Andrew Bravener, from youtube, has strep.

=(

I've had it many times...it's not fun...

Well that's about it...

Oh, guess who downloaded Decode?!

Watch Paramore's music vid for it.

It was made especially for Twilight! =D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvnkAtWcKYg

There, now watch, watch I say!!

Now for Hero's!

=D

ily.

IZ SNOWING!

I took Hamilton outside this morning to see the snow and he tried to catch all the snowflakes. Silly little kitty. =p

Didn't do much today. Slept in until 12 because there wasn't anything to do.

Felt like being real juvenile after taking my history test.

With my dad.
As he watched as I got some of the answers from the online book.
And helped me look for them.
And then as we checked my score.
To see I failed it.

*head desk*

Why. Can't. I. Take. Tests. This. Year.

I mean fuck I could do well on tests (except in math) and not do most my homework until this year.

Now where the tests will bring me down like, 2 letter grades, even if I DID do the homework, I can't take.

I haven't gotten a single A on a test yet.

And I think I do so well on them and then BAM congrats, here's an F, piping hot and ready for your let down!

*sigh*

I'm still feeling juvenile...can ya tell?

Yeah...

BIG MOMENT!

We watched a movie as a family today.

We haven't done that in AGES!

We watched Indiana Jones, it was kinda lame, but I'd recommend it to people.

Studied for my English test tomorrow (HA!) and then read some of Grapes Of Wrath. It's actually a pretty good book. I understand it at least. =)

Speaking of books, started writing mine as well. Didn't get very far, only have a page but hey, it's progress right?

Dammit I bit all my finger nails off today.

Old habits die hard...

Rayy you forgot your shirt and pants at my house so I'll be bringing them to school in the morning. =)

Meh.

You ever just want to get in bed and sleep off all of your problems forever?

Yeeeeeah.

But life must go on!

So I should stop ranting about my tests and starting thinking about the music and format for my VV movie. =D

It's 11 right now...but I'm not that tired...

School...

Everyone better wear their PJ's inside out.

=p

ily.

Techno

Woke up and dad took me out to get pancakes!

Then we stopped at Ink Stop to check out those electronic frame things, we were thinking about getting a pair for my grammy and then my grandma and grandpa (grammy= mom's mom, grandma/pa= dad's parents).

Then we decided since there wasn't anything else to do we'd go up to Best Buy and look at cameras since ours was on the fritz.

So, we came in to get a camera and left with wireless Internet and a laptop stand.

Now I know what you're thinking, how'd we swing that?

Well, turns out that we can't trade the camera, we can only send it to Kodak and get it fixed. Also, Christmas was coming soon and I was telling dad how I wanted to go wireless with my laptop. So, since we were there I got him to ask, and in the end we bought it, and my dad got me a stand for my laptop too. Best of all, the stand is not only built for a desk, but for your lap too and it's got a fan!

It goes spiny spiny. =p

The guy to install the wireless Internet is going to be coming over Wednesday. He's also going to sync our Wii to my laptop so I can watch movie on my laptop on the big screen TV downstairs.

Awesome, no?

Hamilton got stuck on JJ's top bunk today, so I had to get him down. He thanked me by kissing my hand, biting it, and then kissing it again.

That's a kitty for you. =)

Finally got around to cleaning off my computer desk. I even washed it! It's so neat now!

Oh! Wrote the prologue of "Marco. Polo. Die." finally! Decided to keep the title and write in in Sara's point of view. I also made it so she was almost talking to the reader, which I think is even cooler.

Heh...the prologue isn't even half a page and it took me an hour to write...

=p

Went to dad's parents house. It's so boring there...and my grandma can't cook. Except cake, which is so good but I can't have a lot because she uses that damn sweet-n-low crap, which gets me sicker than a dog if I eat too much. Hence why I can't drink half the diet pop in the soda machines at school.

Found my hobo gloves today, I'm going to wear them to school tomorrow. =D

Didn't get to talk to Cyrus today...I'd call him but it's late...

Picked all my nails today...and some yesterday...dammit...

That seems about it...

=)

ily.

Yes, yes I know...

I haven't posted in 2 days.

I just wanted to make sure everyone got to see the pretty colors. =)

Heh....Friday I was walking with Caramel down to PE and there was some random guy walking in front of us wearing a fuzzy jacket. So what did I do? I petted the jacket of course! The guy wearing the jacket didn't seem to notice. =p

History we had a raffle! Epicness.

Caramel won the chips and salsa, and he gave me a few. =)

Got home and seemed to have a problem with my firefox. I went to update it, and it wanted me to reboot my computer for the update. So I reboot. Then I click on the firefox icon, the same reboot message pops up again. I thought, that's weird...I just rebooted...why would I have to do it again? I did anyways, and guess what message popped up again? If you guess the reboot message, go you! If ya didn't...well...yeah, lets just hope ya didn't. =p

Anyways, I just thought, well hell then I'll just delete it and re-down load it. Wrong. Every time I hit the 'remove' button the same damn message would pop up again. So now I'm being forced to use Internet Explorer again.

I'm going to miss you spell checker...

Heh, I downloaded 3 songs, all from Apple commercials. It seems that I have more songs on Melvin that I've heard in TV adverts then anything else. =D

Did a little computer research for myself.

Last night on the new Nano-Chromatic IPods and then one today on the MacAir since it was mentioned during our Valley Voyages trip.

I've come to discover that I don't need any of them. =)

Sure, the new Nano looks cool, but I don't really need any of the new features. And, the MacAir has some pretty cool stuff on it, but I'm not much of a Mac person.

Rayy I can post the link for the MacAir video, it had a lot of information. It'd be nice to look, even if it might be out of your prince range. =)

Mom put this mattress cover thing on my bed to make it really fluffy and stuff. Holly crap...if you knew how comfy it made my bed...

Anyone wanna find out? =p

But seriously, it's like floating on a cloud.

Went to bed early last night since I only got 7 hours of sleep total (including naps) for the past week. At least Monday-Friday.

I was so tired but I would just lay there...I couldn't fall asleep...even when I didn't take a nap. I couldn't even fall asleep with my eyes opened!! I mean what the heck?!

Blah.

Valley Voyages was cool. Toured around Akron. While I was video taping our tour guide in the Metro Parks I was thinking of so many ways to take a little bit of the video and well, kinda making fun of him. It's not like I disliked him or anything, I just though of funny ways to make a vid with him and make people laugh. He once went "Arrrrrg" and waved his fists in the air and I thought about dying his skin green and putting Hulk with an arrow pointing at him.

But that would be mean. And childish... But it's true. =)

Mr. Johansson if you give me those video clips I will solely use them for the purpose of making a video advertising Valley Voyages for our school.

Which I'm hoping to be able to do if I put my heart into it. I keep imaging little parts of the vid in my head...

I'm such nerd. =p

Heh...this reminds me of my 8th grade history teacher Mr. Shank.

"Ashley, that one video you showed me about the suicide bombings (Silent, remember guys?), it as brilliant, almost made me cry. And, after I watched it I kept thinking of this song and you putting a civil war video to it! Will you make me one for the class?! The song is by U2; Sunday Bloody Sunday!!"

Okay...now that I'm thinking...does that video make EVERYONE that watches it cry?!

I digress.

Went to the Spaghetti Warehouse. The bread was so good there (and free =p) that we kept asking for more. Then before we left we asked for some more and we took it with us on the van. =D

Went to the Quaker Oats building, apparently my mom had an office there. Coolieo huh?!

After Vally Voyages went over to hang with Cyrus at his house. I finally got to meet his parents. His one little brother came up to us in the basement (we were watching a movie you gutter minded people =p) and he was like "When I saw you walking in I thought you were a boy."

XD

Cyrus was trying hard not to laugh but he couldn't help himself. I got some humor outta it anyways.

Don't you just love little kids?

=p

Cyrus dropped me back off because his dad wanted him to study. So I told mom about Valley Voyages today and came onto here.

Think I'm going to start writing the first chappie of my book now...still a little undecided on whether to write it in 1st or 3rd person. I mean, I want to turn it into a script, so 3rd person can come into play there a bit, but if it becomes a book 1st person really makes the reader feel one with the character.

Meh.

Maybe write it in both forms? =/

Oh...and the title, change it or keep it?

The book is: Marco. Polo. Die.

I'm leaning more towards keeping it, but lets hear what you guys think. Especially the people that read the test book last year. I feel so bad for you guys reading 232 pages and it then being completely changed...heh...whoops...

OMG

Cyrus just sent me a text saying that he thinks I look very feminine and not like a boy.

How can you not love this guy?

=D

ily.

Ummm...Rawr?

Easy guys, I can't keep up with the creative post titles everyday....

Woke up late, but to quite again! Apparently Dad had taken JJ to target to buy some new clothes.

Guess what day it was again....

SUPER MEGA DOWNLOAD SUNDAY!

Went crazy on limewire and downloaded a bunch of songs by: The Hush Sound, Pink Floyd, Michel Jackson, Patent Pending, ATC, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Katy Perry.

I used to have 598 songs on my Ipod now I have 628.

I'd say it was a good day. =)

After SMDS was over and Dad and JJ had come home I wanted to take a small walk in the park. I ran upstairs, got all ready, gloves, layers, boots and all and as soon as I step outside it rains. And rains. And rains.

In the end we decided it was too wet. =/

Dad went downstairs to watch the Browns game and I spent a little time on the computer before going to read upstairs. I decided to pick When Lightning Strikes from the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU series by Meg Cabot. I've read the book a few times before but I want a quick review so I can borrow the next book in the series from the library.

My Dad doesn't understand why I re-read books.

"How many times of you read that?"
"Only 5."
"..."

Heh, ya know that book Twilight? I've read that one 9 times. =p

So, read When Lightning Strikes for about 2 hours, before coming back onto the computer to work on my book some more.

Went over to Grammy's to have dinner with her. Friday was the official 9 years since my Grandpa passed away.


In a wheel chair since 17, had three jobs, let alone was a father to two great kids, cut the lawn, helped out in the barn, took care of the house, and all while finding time to spend with his children and wife. He never rose his voice, was respectful to my Grammy, and was the kindest man you'll ever met.

There should be more people like him in the world.

During dinner Dad and Grammy cheered for the Browns. My Grammy is 76 and she's yelling and screaming at the football game on TV. Reason #476 of why she is so freaking awesome.

Dropped JJ off at Stevens, they were taking him to a haunted house.

I came home and played pool for half and hour. Not like an actual game, just practice shots and stuff. I'm getting better though. You should have seen how well I cut this one ball into the corner pocket...

Gonna work a little bit more on my story, clean my room, then hit the sack.

=)

ily.

New Layout

As you can see, I have a new layout and playlist all dedicated to Halloween (I'll have the sunset layout and old playlist back next month).

If you want to listen to my old playlist, I'll put a linky on the blog, search for it.

=)

School was okay today. Physics we did a lab, geometry I did well on my review test so that gives me confidence in the real one. Played point break in PE. Spanish was okay. History wasn't too epic today but oh well. Art Cyrus wasn't here.... =(

He was at an interview thing at Miami College. But he's coming back tonight!

The English test was so easy! I'm glad, I needed a grade boost.

Went and got pizza, it was sooooo good!

Now JJ and I are here. We're gonna watch Naruto Abridged soon. =)

Hope you guys had a good day!

=D

Hulk Smash!

So for some reason I don't think Mr. Mayer likes me....

Other than the fact he ripped my English grammar to shreds, today he planted both his hands on the table, and looked at me and half yelled "BLEND YOU COLORS!!!"

I was like o.o "...okay" (for the record everyone at my table thought they were blended pretty well).

I swear it was like he was gonna turn green and become the hulk or something. =p

This morning my bus arrived when the bell rang, and Mrs. Sherry wanted everyone to do that bus evacuation things. Now, we've been doing them since kindergarten, I remember piling out the back, then the front, then the split, know all the exits on the bus, how to get out of them, and how to alert the bus garage in case the bus drive passes out or something. So I kinda just drifted away to my locker and to class. Besides, it's not knowing where the exits are, more than half the battle is getting everyone not to panic and to think straight. If you panic, you are lost.

Also, I disagree with some of the evacuation methods. Say the engine caught fire, this means we would evacuate out the back of the bus. So while everyone closest to the back door is getting out the people in the front have to wait and roast as they all jump out. Wouldn't it be smarter to have the people in the front CLOSEST to the fire go out the back first?

I'm just saying. =/

In PE since there are like, 90 kids in my class, and we can't have 50 sophomores playing badminton at the same time, I decided to join the freshies and play floor hokey. I mean, I love both sports, but I can play badminton anytime in the summer. *shrugs*

I just have to worry about the whole 'no golf swing' rule. =)

Lunch I went to print out my project thing for history and I had to log on and off FOUR computers to do it since they didn't have word 07. Blah. I finally found one though so I guess that's what counts.

Spanish I found my book!

Mr. Johansson wasn't in class today, apparently he left early. I hope every thing's okay. =/

Nothing much happened in English.

When I got home I caught up on Vampire Knight, and then download all the Naruto Abridged Series episodes to my computer. =)

Read a page more of the Crucible, then I fell asleep for 2 hours and came down to watch Hero's. Now I'm here! =D

Gonna read the rest of your blogs and then go to bed!

Old Habits Die Hard

I started biting my nails again.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.

Now they look all icky.

=/

There isn't a point to paint them where there isn't anything to paint really... Maybe clear nail polish, just so they don't attract any eyes...

I'd sit on my hands but it's kinda hard to type that way. I mean, I can race my brother in the Wii Indy 500 and drive with my feet (and get in first place I might add....*cough*) but I haven't exactly typed with my toes before.

I'll have to try it some time. =)

My mom was curious about chat speak, so I told her stuff like what ROFL means, and LMAO. She already knew what LOL meant, she was so proud of herself. =p

Mom is leaving for Vegas on Thursday. I think this is her first vacation that she's going on with out us since like....my brother and myself were born. She so deserves it. She'll be going with my Uncle. He says he's gonna teach her some tricks about the slots. =)

Hopefully the weather doesn't change too much there so it affects her migraines....I don't think so though.

Cyrus invited me on an adventure tomorrow! We're going to go to Kendall Lake! My dad thinks that his sister, sister's friend, and mom are gonna be there, heh, they're not. =p

My mood has improved since this morning, I wasn't feeling very good.

We went to Pet Smart today and I looked at the kitties! I saw a black one that's name was Thomas!! I adore black cats. =)

Guess what, started looking at my book again, Marco Polo Die. Took at the book and skimmed over all 236 pages. In the end I was a little...unhappy. I could have made it a lot better. So I'm starting to make an outline for each chapter and change a lot of things in it. I'm really hoping to turn it into a film script actually. Can't wait to take that film class next year. I looked up script writing on the internet, and I told you all about that one really great site, but it doesn't answer some questions I have.

My mom suggested looking at the format for the Crucible and Raisin In The Sun, but the format and style for a play is very different than a movie script. There isn't as much detail in the movie script, and there are many different settings, while in a play the description of an Act could be pages long and only have maybe 3 different settings.

I feel like such a nerd. =p

I am sad to discover that some of the songs on my playlist, mostly the one's by the band Muse (which is my favorite) are not working. =(

I'll have to take care of that later.


Well that's about it. Blog about my adventure tomorrow!

It's Pure Logic!

Q: What is the difference between an orange?

A: Elephant, but everybody knows monkeys ride their trikes on Friday.

It's an insane sort of logic, which might be why I understand it. =p


This morning I got lot's of hugs, even though I'm sure you didn't read the post that I typed before going on the bus. Hugs are always welcome! =D

Physics class we did another lab so basically I talked to Andy and Hallie most of the time.

I understood my Geometry homework!!!

PE was....interesting....let's start out from the beginning.

Remember how Zak would never look at me, and was all I-hate-you like after I broke up with him? Well today he just suddenly opened his arms out and said "Okay...." and I gave him a hug. So I thought that he finally understood that I still wanted to be friends with him....wrong-o.

After a few basketball games he suddenly turns to me and goes "Heh, look, I don't need you anymore, I've got porn." and flashes me this pic of some naked chick on his phone.

Well, thanks, you really must have really liked me, was my thoughts. I never really said anything to him throughout this, I just kinda shrugged and nodded and stuff.

THEN he started going on about having another party at Ryan's and stuff and starts tickling me and stuff. Which we all really know is an excuse just for him to lay his dirty hands on me.


And I just growled....

Devvy Chan you're wearing off on me. =p

Anyways, in the end I elbowed him in the gut, glared at him as I gave Carlos his fantabulos hug and stalked into the locker room. Alison said I looked like I was on a mission to kill or something. =p

It just pisses me off how stupid I was to even go out with him and that he thinks that after we broke up along with ignoring me he thinks I'm so easy as to let him back in.

Meh.

I hate boys. =)

Spanish class cheered me up. Guess who got an A+ on her quiz!!!!! =D

History class I talked with Cameron and Sam. We had some interesting chats. Mr. J looked really tired....though =/

Art class we were coloring with these crayon things. When I was done with one section of my drawing I looked at my crayon and kinda sighed "This was big what I was using it but now that I'm done it's really small...."

Cyrus gave me this look and then all of us at the table started laughing are heads off.

We're very mature. =)

When we were watching the part in the Partiot where the guy finds that his family was killed and then shoots himself Max just suddenly yelled "Ha ha, they were faking it, jokes on you!" Everyone laughed, once again, we have a weird sense of humor. =p

I was surprised, our class was really getting into it. We were all gasping and yelling at the people. It was quite fun.

And finally....I have an announcement.....

I FINISHED BREAKING DAWN!!!

I'm so happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I finished it, and sad because it's over.

Heh...when I read the THE END I felt this pain in my stomach and then I ran downstairs screaming, jumped on my mom's bed and was crying and laughing. I don't think she shared my enthusiasm. =p

Well that's about it....now to do that stupid grammar for English and then I'm done!

On the Road Again...

So had our first golf tournament Monday. Golfed 18 holes for the first time in my life. It was so slooooooow. When we were waiting on this one hole this girl hit her ball really high up in the air and it hit one of the high tension wires and it exploded! XD

She was allowed to take another stroke without it counting though. =p

Played with Haley from Jackson, and another girl from Copley.

Haley was really nice. She's 5" 1' and her boyfriend is 6" 3', so while waiting on another hole we started talking about the pro's and con's of really tall boyfriends.

I was the champ. of the snacks for bringing Honey Buns to eat on the course for the team! =D

Yesterday I made my first birdie during the tournament!

Today had practice. Learned how to hit my 5 wood. Got A Raisin In The Sun from Rayy, should get to that.

Still haven't finished reading Breaking Dawn. Either been too tired or too busy to.

Going out of town tomorrow!! Youngstown to be exact I believe. Golf match and then tournament Wednesday and Thursday!! So excited!! Coach says after golf we can go out to eat and see a movie!! Eeeep!!!

As you can see I've got a new blogger template. I like it, it's simple and pretty in my opinion. Still gotta add the rest of the widgets in, don't think I'll have time until Friday.

Zak coming over in the evening.

That's about all for now!

Talk to you later loves!

Breaking Necks

Woke up around 11:30 again. Oh, turns out last night i saw a spider on the floor and when I went to kill it I lost it so all night I kept thinking of that fact that on average a human has 8 spiders crawl into their mouth while sleeping a year and when I woke the spider was on my cheek.....it's dead now though.... Took a shower before waiting to go over to Zak's house. Mom let me back the car out of the garage again so I was happy.

Went over to Zak's around 1:40ish. They're doing construction on his street and when we got to his house there was this huge hole at the end of his driveway. Hung out around his house and watched the movie Barn Yard (which is one messed up Disney movie) before his two sisters (Maddy, 6 and Emilee 14) went with their dad to Boarders.

Which meant for about two hours Zak and I were left in his house alone.

ANYWAYS

When they came back Emiliee had the book Breaking Dawn, which leads me to the title of the post...

If I don't get Breaking Dawn soon I'll be breaking necks for one of yours books. Just warning you.

Watched some TV and then Zak and I jumped in his pool. Now, I can't say I really swam, I actually shook more. I dunno why but I was so freaking cold.... When we were done in the pool I wanted to go on their swing set. So, since my sandals were over on the deck I found a pair of Maddy's near the pool, put them on, and walked over to swing on the swings.

Yes, a 6-year-olds sandals fit me. Moving on!

Mom picked me up around 5. JJ was at the hospital with Steven cheering up their friend Josh Golabeck. Turns out he had a brain tumor which we all know is terminal. His sister Jakie goes to our school if ya didn't know. *shrugs*

Since I was really tired from swimming and mom wasn't really feeling good we decided to heat up some leftover pizza and watch Cold Case on TV. We called Grammy, didn't feel like watching another movie.

Been working on my book. Chappie 5 is almost done! Yes I know...it only took me how many months...

*Sigh*

Tomorrow my dad is coming home around 5ish. I'm planning on golfing after dinner because then the next day GOLF TRYOUTTS!

Oh, and to let you know, Nordonia's golf course...shitty. It's not well kept at all. You really need to play smart on it, any mistake could cost you big time.

Their smaller course across the street is nice though. It's a Par 3 one. (Which means it should take the average person 3 shots to get the ball in the hole) I shot my best Par 3 game there, shot a 38.

Um...last night I spent most of my time on the computer and then around midnight I went outside to watch the lighting. Turns out when I finally came inside the house it was like, 1:30ish, and then I stayed up till 2 listening to my Ipod.

=)

Think that's about it! Starting to get a bit of a headache. Very annoying.
