Not exactly a good day

So most of the day JJ and I watched movies. We first watched the Corps Bride and ate Doritos and then after about an hour we went back down to the 'lower level' (a joke since our basement is finished) and watched Ice Age. I can't believe they're coming out with a third one...I didn't think the second Ice Age wasn't that good, one was enough. Disney likes to make a lot of series with three movies in it. Like Cinderella, Pirates of the Caribbean, Shiloh, and now Ice Age.

Oh yeah I get the ward for having Stupid Parents! Yay!

Why do you ask? Let me explain:

MOM:

Today while making cookies she noticed a hard chunk of whatever it was in the mixer so she reached her hand in to get it out....while the mixer was on.... Then when we tried to turn it off she nearly burn her hand on a hot cookie sheet and turned the mixer up another notch.

DAD:

We're having the guy that helped my dad make the bar in the 'lower level' since he's never seen it actually finished. He's actually one of my dad's friends and lives next door to his parents I believe. Anyways, he's going around all crazy trying to cleaning everything down there (which I must say is funny to watch) and he was cleaning the wood with what he thinks is Orange Pledge. It wasn't Orange Pledge...it was an orange bottle of Bug Spray. Bug Spray + Wood= Bad. Bad meaning it will ruin the finish.

Yeah.

So what just happened right now. Last night Peaches told me that Ryan's grandma had died. I felt bad for him. So i finally worked up the courage when he came back on idle to say this:

XashXwasntXhereX (8:36:35 PM): hellos
Cnaeus Dane (8:36:41 PM): bueno
XashXwasntXhereX (8:36:43 PM): hey i know it's a sad topic but i just wanted to say I'm sorry about your grandma
XashXwasntXhereX (8:36:52 PM): i bet she was a real great person
Cnaeus Dane signed off at 8:37:13 PM.
cnaeusdane is offline and will receive your IMs when signing back in.
XashXwasntXhereX (8:37:49 PM): i just wanted to let you know that I cared is all...sorry...

*sigh*

Was that wrong to say? I dunno but just now I texted him: I'm sorry for bringing it up. I just wanted to let you know that I care, I thought it would be nice to know.

Was that wrong too?

I just want to let him know that he's not completely alone. I know he has Peaches and like other family but lots of times it's good to know you have friends that care too. Right?

I feel kind of guilty for making him sad, mad, and whatever the heck else he's feeling but my reasons are okay for saying that I hope.

Oh yeah more bad things:

My Word 2007 isn't working, we've tried everything we can think of. So I reinstalled Word 2003 but it tells me I have to reinstall it again even though 2 seconds ago i just did...I'll work with it later...

I'm typing up the second chappie of my book after this on our home computer. It's not finished yet, but while you're waiting you can read my book's blog. It's listed in the Friends Blogs list is you didn't notice. I'll make up another post tonight too I think.

Well that's all for now!

Kitty! ^-^

Yesterday we got to see a preview of our high school play Grease. It looks like it will be pretty good and I'm excited to go see the whole thing because my friends are in it! I was sad though because I couldn't see Rayy, Dev, or Ellie in the group of people singing.

I came home alone, with the exception of JJ and forced him to start his homework- i guess that all that yelling and threats and punishing didn't effect him at all, which makes me kind sad.

Anyways, i went on the computer and then JJ told me to call our neighbors because he said that their dog was in our backyard in the field. When I looked out the window I could tell that it wasn't their dog, but the animal did look big. So, I went out to the backyard to investigate. Turns out the animal was a cat!

Every time I said Kitty it would meow and when I kneeled on the ground it walked up to be and brushed against my legs and meowed some more. It was so cute and I took some pictures on my phone although they aren't that good. The cat didn't have a collar and it was kind of on the thin side so I'm guessing it was a stray. I named it Kitty because every time I said that is responded and also I'm just so creative.

I wish I could have kept it, I've never had an animal love me that much before...it made me feel kind of wanted and needed.

Nothing interesting happen today. We went to the BK Lounge instead of McDonalds because JJ wanted it...yeah I don't get that either....

Kitty made my day ^-^

Keyboarding Again

I dunno but today it's kind of hard to concentrate with my keyboarding teacher babbling on like she continues to do even though no one listens to her...

I usually can block it out but today just isn't my day I guess. Worse, I'm behind in Word Excel Projects because I was sick. I guess I'll get them done soon.

Might post again today later.

April Fools....I Guess

So yeah I'm still a little sick but that's okay, it didn't really get in the way of school. We played this really fun game today in PE called Pinball. As soon as the teacher said: "Alright we're all going to play Pinball!" Rayy, Edward, and I all looked at each other basically thinking: Are they seriously gonna let us run into people? Cool....

Well turns out that's not how the game is played- big surprise there. Basically one team gets one half of the court and the other team the other half and each team places 10 pins anywhere on their side. Then there is like 10-15 balls lined up in the middle of the gym and when the whistle blows, you charge and throw the ball's at the pins to knock them down. This time though- unlike PointBreak (an un-fun game...)- if you get hit you're not out! Which rocked my world because I think it's more fun- and easier- to block something by jumping in front of a ball. Call me crazy. No seriously, you can, even I call myself crazy.

Lunch was fine, math we were in the computer lab and my day was good. My dad even left me to funny messages on my phone. Also I even came home alone because my mom needed to pick up JJ from this math tutor class at school.

Then they got home.

10 seconds it was quiet then as soon as my mom told JJ to start his homework...the yelling started.

For about 2 years now, JJ has barley been passing school. Last year it was just him slacking on homework...but now...he's like not doing ANYTHING. He doesn't even turn in tests even though they're done.

When my mom found out JJ didn't turn in his big research project that was due before spring break she flipped. Trying to get the project done was hell enough at my house. He forgot the folder, the school was locked, we didn't have all the papers, he didn't do half the stuff, lot's of typing errors, didn't have the rubric.... Luckily with my help I got the rubric off the school's web site- thank you JJ's teacher for posting it up there...it's not like my teachers do anything like that, except my Bio teacher...

Well Sunday night I heard my mom tell JJ every five minutes "Turn in the folder, turn in your project." Yesterday morning: "Turn in the folder, turn in your project." When he got home that day my mom asked: "Did you turn it in?" He looked at her, said yes, then went on the computer. Well my mom goes in to help out JJ's classroom and some other teachers and my mom was all to his teacher: "Thank you for letting JJ turn in his folder yesterday!" and the teacher went: "What folder?"

I can obviously tell my parents are tired of this shit, while I was trying to to my homework I could hear my mom yelling at him, not only for that, but for his grades, his classwork, everything that's been happening since the beginning of 5th grade. My dad even said he'd throw him out of the house and have him go live in a home if he didn't get his act together...

That hurt me more than him.

Since I'm mad at him for being such an idiot, and agree partially with my parents. Then again, I didn't do so hot in Lee Eaton either- did a lot better than JJ- and it was hard so I understand him a bit. But I don't understand why he's acting like this! I mean, he's smart, and a good kid, there's no reason at all for him to be doing this! Is it like a guy thing or something? A phase? Cool even?

The only reason I haven't broken down crying is because that would make my cold worse...and make me feel worse for school as in I wouldn't have done my homework like I did tonight, wouldn't have even attempted to get it done, wouldn't really give a damn about my makeup quiz tomorrow and wouldn't do shit in math to get my C+ back to a B again. Or actually really wouldn't do shit in any class. Sure, I'd act all happy in the morning- which I really am somewhere in side. I dunno but being surrounded by my friends just....just makes me feel happy, relaxed, smart, belonged, even if I'm fighting with them, or ticked off at them... Anyways, I'd either be half happy, or I'd lie and say I'm tired.

Yeah, I stay up late and might be tired when I get up but when I get on the bus I'm up and alert so about...95.5% of the time I say I'm tired...I'm not...I must confess this, I don't need you guys thinking I have some sleeping problem and worrying about me...

*sigh*

Well I guess I should go to bed now, and try and sleep because I am tried because of my sinuses keeping me up last night. My throat is starting to bug me a lot now too and like my tonsils feel swelled...I better not have strep again or anything throat related...that'd just make my whole week roll down hill...At least my mom say's she'll take my to McDonalds tomorrow. Believe it or not I get excited over little things like that.

Night.
