SNOW DAY

An actual snow day!

Not a cold day, but a snow day!

Why couldn't the dumbass call school off yesterday night instead of calling at 5:30 in the morning?

I mean shit, did he really think it could get better?

*sigh*

JJ and I watched TV down in the basement then we went to play in the snow.

Actually...

Dad called and said that JJ had to snow blow the driveway, and I had to help him.

I did this instead:



If ya can't read it, it says Hi Mom.

You don't know how tiring it was to write that...

I also wrote Hi on the deck. =p

Spent the rest of my time here online.

Downloaded some new music and stuffs.

New song on the playlist.

Looked at video cameras on Best Buy's website.

Couldn't really find anything...

=/

Oh well, I like actually going to the store and looking at them.

That's about it...

I'm hungry now.

FEAST!

Harty Har Har

"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."

Ah...I love Mitch Hedberg.

#1 comedian in my book.

Studied most of the day, and did random stuffs.

A shame he died speedballin....

=/

Blah.

Spent most of my day studying, helping Dad out, doing random stuff on the interwebs and such.

Went with Dad to take the dog for a walk.

I got to wear the ninja mask because it was snowing. =p

Cleaned my room today.

While I was I saw a car pull into the driveway and it looked exactly like Cy's. I was getting all excited until it pulled out and went away...

=(

That's about it.

Dear Young Youtubers

Youtube is a video sharing website where people can create, upload, and share their videos.

It is not an instant messenger, nor is it a Myspace or a Facebook.

Also, just because you aren't at school doesn't mean that you have to completely forget how to leave comments using proper English, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Dat iz not wat utube iz 4. And gawd u sond lkie u r stoopid or somtin.

Seriously.

The comments box is also called that for a reason. It is for you to comment on the video above, not for you to tell people to check out your channel or to copy and paste chain mail.

With that said, please stop asking me "Wat u up 2?" on my channel, use proper English, and quite begging me to check out your videos and subscribe.

Sincerely,

An annoyed Youtuber

You guys seriously don't know how many 11-13 year olds I've had to deal with today on Youtube...

*headdesk*

Learned how to snow blow the driveway today.

Your tongue gets really cold.

Ha, get it?!

Snow BLOW? TONGUE gets cold?

Yeah...my Dad didn't think that was too funny either. =p

After the driveway JJ and I played in the snow.

We were trapped in the North Pole (our backyard) but managed to travel a distance to a nearby ice burg (our deck) and into an ice cave (our porch) to find a feline frozen in the ice wall (Hamilton sitting in front of the window inside).

After coming to the end of the cave we came face to face with a giant wolf (Shannon). She attacked us, and stole my glove, and attempted to bury it in the snow. Luckily, a huge ice breaker came and a many threw down a rope, shouting at us to climb up before we caught a cold (which was really our Mom yelling at us for not having gloves and to get inside before we got frostbite).

We told her it was the giant wolf's fault.

Went to the movies with Dad and Grammy. Saw Grand Torino. Good movie, lots of laughs. Almost cried though.

No, the dog doesn't die. If so I would have said the movie sucked.

A lot of racist comments so if you're touchy then don't see it.

I got to back the car out of the drive way again. =p

Played a little Pac Man World 2 on the PS2 and now I'm here, chillin and listening to music.

I'm a little sad because I can't find the 4 pony ties I always wear on my wrist. I think they fell off while I was out in the snow...

I feel so incomplete...

=/

Blah.

I Am So Tired...

Of dealing with stupid people today...

*headdesk*

Ever since I got home...

*sigh*

VV was awesome today.

Hung out with Cy, Lienne, and Jeff for the day.

Before we were on our way we discussed our big projects. I think I have an idea for mine. I like it mostly because I can attack random people in the park and interview them. =D

My idea:

Akron and Cleveland seem to be depending much on their ecotourism. Obviousely it's doing a great job...

Anyways, I'm basically going to try and solve that by finding better ways to promote this. What will bring more people to the parks or, what keeps bringing people back that we can maybe even expand or improve? Things like that.

It's basically the genteral idea.

I dunno, it sounds good right now. Mom liked it. Dad will like taking me to the park too.

Attacking radom people FTW. =p

Moving on!

Went to the Western Reserve Historical Society.

The beginning tour was really...boring....

And the photographer lady, which I'm guessing was from the Akron Journal (since Mr. Downing said that there would be one there next trip), was annoying.

Ugh I remember that one photographer guy at golf...

I'm freaking putting and all I hear is CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK!!

Rude.

Anyways, Cy, Lienne, Jeff and I went to the botanical gardens to eat lunch before heading back.

Cy and Lienne had a snowball fight, then we started pushing each other in the snow. =p

I'll be honest, I didn't really learn anything, we kinda just messed around most of the time. The cars were really interesting though.

I dunno why but I've always had this thing for old cars.

When I got home Dad wanted JJ and I to go up on the roof and knock the snow down away from the chimney because it was leaking into the basement.

While my Dad got up there to do some stuff (yes, there is no taking it easy for this one armed man, let me tell you...) JJ and I started having a snowball fight and pushing each other into the snow.

Then we threw snowballs at my Dad's head. =p

After that Dad wanted us to shovel the slush off the driveway before it turned into ice. In the end, it really never got done because JJ and I continued our sillies in the snow. =p

It was really good snow too, packed together really well.

JJ and I kicked some at each other and I got some in my nose. =p

Went inside the garage to take our wet clothes off. I took off my wet jeans and took the towel we use to dry the dog off and wrapped it around my waist. When I walked into the house my Mom was like "....Um...isn't that the...never mind..."

=p

Tried to call Gioninos but that dreaded BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP kept happening every time I called, so I got Pizza Hut instead.

Which is fine too, I love their cheesy crust.

Dan and Gary are over right now. Dad is sad he can't kick their asses in pool since he's only got one arm.

Poor Dad, I'll guess I'll have to play for him! =p

One of my favorite CSI episodes came on, so I was excited.

Talked with Cy a bit on the phone.

Methinks I'm going to catch up on my Vampire Knight episodes. Believe I'm almost done with the serise.

Watched my Silent video again...

I'm thinking of re-doing is but the timing is so perfect on this one...

Hmmm....

Heh, I remember Mr. Shank cried when he watched it. =p

(AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT WAS BAD.)

You all just lost the game.

Relief

Holy crap I had so much stuff to do today but now I have time because...

WE HAVE A SNOW DAY!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!

I swear if I could do a back flip I would!

MWUHAHAHAHA!

WE CAN ALL STAY UP LATE, SWAP SOME MANLY STORIES AND IN THE MORNIN...I'M MAKIN WAFFLES.

O.O

Shrek references FTW.

=p

Gained 2 cool things during lunch today.

Thing number 1:



LOOK!! IT'S A FRENCH FRY PAINTING THE EIFFEL TOWER AT A KETCHUP BOTTLE!

I'm highly amused at this ketchup packet.

=)

Now, thing number 2:



It was.

And I got to eat it.

It was so yummy.

I hung that sign up on my wall now. =p

Most if not all of my classes we worked on review for the exams.

As soon as I got home I started working on my history project that I've been putting off.

All I needed to do was print out my pictures, glue them into a collage and then write the thing.

Well, my Word kept freezing up and being all retarded. I started yelling and cursing it until finally I e-mailed it to myself and in the e-mail I E-bitched slapped my Word 07.

=p

Got the collage done, and got all of the writing portion done except my conclusion paragraph. I honestly don't like it though...I might restart...

Took a quick shower and then found out about the snow day.

I must say though, I'm feeling a bit tired. But I'm going to stay up late anyways. =)

Now shall do random shit on the internet!!

Yippee!

So Many...Tests....and Snow...

Had a test in every class today except PE and art.

*phew*

Man, I'm all tested out for the day.

Got home, worked a bit on my history project, and then pumped some iron.

It's 13.5 out right now...

**********************************

I just lost connection for the um-teenth time.

I threw this little wooden box I had across the room in anger.

It's shattered now...

I should clean that up...

Blah.

I've got cool socks on.

Today Cy met up with me at the buses to give me back my calculator and I kissed him goodbye and Mrs. Sherry was all "AWWWWE IS THAT YOU'RE BOYFRIEND?! HE'S SOOOO CUTE! Well...I mean, you know, not like cute cute, since I'm an old lady and that would be scary, and I don't think he dates older women anyways, which would be kinda weird, a single hot one or an old lady mom one like me, and besides that's not only creapy its illegal and I'm a bus driver which makes is worse and don't worry it's not like I'll steal him away from you and he looks so nice and...."

xD

I love my bus driver.

OH!

Today, I brought back THE Game.

You don't know about THE game?

There's only one rule in THE game:

Nobody wins THE game.

How do you play?

You go up to a person/group of people/pet/inanimate object and say "You just lost THE Game."

Then, THE Game restarts itself a few hours after seeing that person so you can say it to them again. Or them to you. If they're fast enough.

THE game is played everywhere, world wide!

And best of all, anyone can play it!

So, to end this post I say to you all...

YOU JUST LOST THE GAME.
Oooooh what now bitch? =p

Me Gusta Estar En Tu Pantalones

Ryan and I wrote down bad things in Spanish on a piece of paper today in English. =p

Are we mature?

Yes.

We just choose not to be. =p

I also brought up the idea of answering every question on my speaking exam tomorrow as "Su madre."

Hey, I used su, I'm being polite!

=p

School was pretty much average today.

Mr. Johansson wasn't here and we watched a movie instead of taking a test...I could have procrastinated a whole other night!!

=p

Beat Greg to the bus today.

So happy!

=p

With the huge mini blizzard after school the roads turned bad quickly. Mrs. Sherry had to start breaking yards away from the actualy stop because we would slide so much.

Cy came over.

I accidentally kicked him in the face. =p

Whoops. =p

The high for tomorrow is supposed to be 15 and then 5 the next day.

At least that's what the weather man said.

Hoping for a cold day tomorrow!

=D

WEAR YOUR JAMMIES BACKWARDS!

It's...Today....

Why is today so important and scary??

Because my friends, it is January 12, 2009, a day where I am not only the age of 15 but I am 15 1/2.

Why is this day somewhat terrifiying?

Well after I take my test, it means...I CAN DRIVE.


I look forward to seeing you on the road. =)


School was eventful today.

3rd period the fire alarm went off, which is my PE class so everyone was turning blue as we stood outside in the snowfall.

When Cy came over I gave my jacket up to Cynthia because she looked really cold. It was okay because I had a Cyrus. =p

This one fat freshie kept complaining the whole time. We finally told her to shut up, and that the whole school was outside and to buck up (besides, freshies aren't allowed complain =p). Then she started crying and yelling at us that we hate her and that she has no friends and yadda yadda.

*sigh*

She yelled at me for giving my jacket to Cynthia and not her too...

Blah...

In the end PE became a free day.

Rest of school was pretty much normal.

Got home, did my homework, then feel asleep.

Apparently Cy called me, but I don't remember picking up the phone at all....

Sleep talking on the phone? =/

Ate dinner, watched a bit of the news, then called Cy.

Mom then came and asked me, twittling her thumbs and giving me Bambi eyes, if I could make her a grilled cheese.

Actually she asked for two.

But anyways, since I was giving up some of my time to study I decided it would be fair if I took a bite out of one of the grilled cheeses.

I made her a little flag and stuck it in them then handed her the plate, and she was like "Awwwweee, look at the fl- HEY!! You bit one of them!!"

=p

OMG GOOD NEWS!!

MILEY CYRUS APPARENTLY CUT HER UVULA!

It was in Whatthebuck's new youtube vid.

If you can bare to watch it, click here. =p

Anyways, this is important to me because she might not be able to sing again!

Epicness.

=D

Well, that's all for now. =)

So Much Snow! O.O

I really hope we have a snow day tomorrow...

WEAR YOUR PAJAMAS BACKWARDS PEOPLE!

Anyways.

Woke up, showered, and got my homework done today before Cyrus came over. We attempted to play a board game but found light bright instead. =D

Then we helped mom put the chest, and pictures back where the tree used to be before continuing our shenanigans.

Gold was okay today. I got a blister on my pinky though and then it popped so Dad got me a band aid. Thing was, it was really huge.

So when I got home I put a Hello Kitty band aid on. ^-^

Cleaned my room a bit...

I should stop throwing my clothes on the floor and just hang them up...

It's worth a try...

Started working on a book idea I had...making outlines at least...

Also, added new song to playlist!

Deer Licks, Birdies, Doughnuts, and Movies

Went hiking around Deer Lick cave today with Dad and JJ. I jump tackled JJ to the snow because he wouldn't help me up so I didn't ruin my snow angel.

=p

Then we went to the little building with the fireplace and got some bird seed to feed the birds. Lots of them landed on my hand to get it and one even landed and sat on my HEAD for a bit!

It was so cool!

=D

Went to Krispy Kreme in some other area since Akron wasn't making there's due to the lack of customers.

The roads were so shitty and there were a ton of cars spun out on the highway.

After Krispy Kreme we went to Apple Bee's and then network video. I wanted to buy the movie Holes but they didn't have it so I bought the movie Disturbia instead.

Came home, chilled for a bit, and then watched the movie with JJ.

Methinks I will work on reading some more chappies of The Grapes of Wrath, test is on the 14th.

*sigh*

I hope we have a snowday Monday...we so deserve one...even though we just had a 2 week break. =p

Was looking through some of the videos I saved on youtube and I came across and very unique one.

It's by Neil Cicierega, most famously noted for coming up with Potter Puppet Pals skits.



It's weird. I like it. =p

Presents, Jokes, and Booze

Top 3 favorite presents:

- My varsity jacket
- My FUZZY toe socks
- My new slipper shoe things

=D

What's your favorite present??

=D

Woke up around 8:30 and came downstairs.

I got more clothes but that's about it.

Sadly it wasn't a white Christmas, but I did see a few flurries drop!

Was Dad's little 'elf' and went over to the neighbors to give them presents.

Gretta knew it was my Dad in the suit though. Ya just can fool these 6 year olds anymore nowadays.

Out of all the jokes I heard today, I think my dad told the best one, as always. There was a gay guy in the joke and my Dad does the best and funniest gay accent. =p

It's better to hear it than read it though so I'm not gonna post it on the blog. I'll film my Dad saying it. =p

Aunt Bev and Uncle time came over with Matt, haven't seen him in a year. We used to be really close cousins but now we've like, grown very far apart. =/

Drank 4 huge glasses of booze.

=p

At first I was going to keep drinking and see how many it would take till I got shit faced but then I realized that:

1. Although I'd probably be funny as hell when I'm drunk I don't think my parents would appreciate me getting wasted in front of company
2. I'm going on a date with Cy tomorrow
and 3. At the end of the night tomorrow I'll be meeting some of his other relatives, and I don't think having a hang over would be the BEST first impression

=p

So in the end, I kinda just kept drinking until I got in trouble. =p

Well, that's about it for now!

=D

Merry Christmas!!!

It's about midnight right now, so of course JJ and I are still up.

I'm chillin in his bed on the laptop while he's in a sea of Legos putting some Star Wars ship together.

7675 pieces.

o.o

We always do this type of thing every year, it's become sort of a brother-sister tradition.

When we were younger we would sleep next to the door in my room (since it was closest to the steps) and try to stay up late and meet Santa.

Now we just kicks out the sleeping bags, choose one of our bedrooms and stay up till the crack of dawn. =)

Christmas Eve at my Grammy's house was the same as it is every year.

Same dinner, same time we open presents. Dad acts like an asshole, and mom is sick.

Then it gets too hot in the house, so we open up a window and turn off the gas fire, then I whine about it being off until it gets turned back on again.

=p

My Grammy, Uncle, and his girlfriend, Gina, got me some really cool outfits. I'm so excited to wear them to school.

OH!

And remember when you guys used to call me your 'little hippie'?

I got bell bottom jeans!!!

=D

Awesomeness.

I dunno if they fit though....need to try them on...

Heh, it was so hard wrapping the headphones I got for JJ and Dad.

The packaging was so aklsfdhljhsaflkhasfkljhf!

I was watching Tomorrow Never Dies on Spike.

They were doing their holidy Bondathon.

Tons of James Bond movies.

I have the starting song Tomorrow Never Dies by Sheryl Crow on Melvin.

I downloaded Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better (Bernaddette Peters & Tom Wopat version) and The Phantom Of The Opera them song from the 2004 movie.

=p

Going on a date with Cy tomorrow!

^-^

We're gonna chill out at my place before going to dinner and a movie.

=)

*sigh* I'm kinda bummed right now...all it did was rain today, no snow, just big puddles of mud. =/

Well that's all for now, blog about the rest of Christmas later!

Happy Holidays!

Also!

Don't forget about the contest! See the post below!!

Dear Santa

I think I speak for everyone when I say I would like a white Christmas (and no I'm not being raciest I mean white as in SNOW...gosh...).

Love, Ashlet

=p

Sorry for the lack of posts.

Something went wrong with the Internet around 6 Friday night and yesterday I didn't have time to post.

FRIDAY

Last day before break!

Woke up to realize that I had completely forgotten to wrap up every one's gifts...heh heh....whoops....

I did bring in candy canes to give to my teachers. Hey, it wouldn't hurt to have a good grade before I leave for break. =p

Pretty much did nothing most of school.

Mr. OB liked my shoes, he was all like "OMG THOSE ARE SOME WILD SHOES!!!"

=p

Geometry we took a test.

PE Cy and Jeff kidnapped me and I hung out with them for the period.

Spanish Senorita made the class do silent work since we got a bad report from the sub.

Personally I didn't think everyone was that bad, they were all just up to their normal tomfoolery, talking while the teacher was talking. If the sub would have gotten off her ass, taken charge, stopped telling useless stories and told every one to shut the hell up I think the class would have gone fine and we actually would have gotten some work done.

=/

History class I went over to Mr. Loman's for the first half to help him on his blog and stuff. I had cake too. =p

Talked to Andy a bit since he was in there and then skittered on over back to Mr. Johansson's where he was playing old Disney movies.

I've seen all of em though. =p

Art class I really didn't do anything, just talked with Cy.

English class we finished the American Christmas Carol and then talked the whole time.

Cy came over after school around 3 to visit before he had to leave, he's going away until Christmas.

=(

He stayed an hour, we had lots of fun, popped in the movie A Christmas Carol and cuddled on the couch.

=)

Mom and Dad left for the SWACO Christmas dinner so JJ and I were home alone.

Attempted to make a Vlog but my Windows Movie Maker wont work so it's hopeless.

SATURDAY

Had my first Grums!

What's a Grums?

It's a deli in Cleveland that my Dad and bother go to every other weekend. They get subs and eat them in the cemetery.

Click here.

Before we went there though, we all went to go feed the Cleveland Mounted Police horses.

Thing is, right before the police station, there are train tracks.

While we were heading there, the train was coming.

But it was coming really really slowly.

So, instead of waiting for it to pass, what does my Dad do?

At the last possible second he speeds across the train tracks!

It was scary awesome. =p

While walking into the station JJ slipped on some ice and fell right on his ass.

XD

Played with the 2 dogs Toby and Rex.

Toby is so old now. =/

Most of the horses are gone, retired, so they had a lot of new ones.

Heh, while I was running up and down between the stalls and playing with Rex I kinda stumbled and he jumped on my back. =p

TODAY

Nothing very eventful, gonna go to the range and he a few balls for a bit. Need to work out too...getting lazy... =p

I'm Telling You This Right Now...

Snowflakes up the nose?

Not. Cool.

Ah, so much to blog today...where to begin...

Had a late start today. I turned my alarm clock off, but my electric blanket was so warm...and it was so cold...so I thought to myself "Oh, I'll just close my eyes for 5 more minutes!" Well, I slept it for 10, which I really can't do, so I was kinda rushing.

I think Mr. OB was very amazed that I actually participated in physics today.

When he saw I had my hand up I swear his eyes went like this O.O and he basically shouted "You!"

o.o

Math test today, think I did rather well. *knocks on wood*

Point Break today in PE. I hit that Brook girl in the face. >=)

During lunch today Peaches, Devvy Chan, and I were discussing how annoying it is what guys were there pants below their waist and show the boxers and stuff. So we came up with the idea of getting a huge group of girls to support our cause, and on some random day, we'd all dress with our bra's on the outside of our clothes. =)

The NORDONIA Boxer Rebellion.

Boo yah.

Oh, and in Spanish today, we had a sub.

I didn't even know that could happen!!

(In a, she's always here and there never seemed to be a chance that she would be absent kinda way...) (yeah...).

=p

Oh, I have a new phrase now!

Great Googalymoogaly. (goo-gah-lee-moo-gah-lee).

It was from some old TV show...it had a dinosaur in it with polka dots...

=D

So, most of you all know Greg, right?

He's like, one of the special kids, but he's allowed to be in regular classes with people sometimes. He's a really nice guy. =)

Anyways, I started this game with him, and it was that one day I would beat him on the bus. And for the past 3 weeks when I'd come on late I'd say "One day..." and he would be all "salkfjhalskhfd" and smile and like, hug himself.

=p

Well, today, I wasn't even planning on it either, I just walked on the bus and all of a sudden he stepped up behind me!

So I turned around and went "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!" jumped in his seat, and then flipped over the top of it into my own.

=D

Mrs. Sherry and Greg were laughing so hard. =p

Oh, when our bus was waiting at the intersection Devvy Chan's pulled up next to it and I saw here. We started waving and smiling at each other and doing stupid weird stuff that probably made the people around us raise and eyebrow.

Piish, we were having fun. =p

Got home, watched CSI Vegas, and Dad brought home the pizza since it's pizza night.

Started snowing later on too.

Have you ever noticed...that so far, the only time it really snows is on the weekend?

I mean come on, can we at least have one chance for a snow day?!

=o

Oh yeah, got my school pictures today, this is the first time that I actually like them. Whoo hoo!

For the remainder of my night I went over to the Cyrus house. When he came to pick me up my Dad showed off the basement (since he did most of the work finishing it himself).

I remember, one time, my Dad showed the PIZZA DILVERY GUY our basement.

XD

Anyways, we watched part of the movie Showtime.

His six year old litter brother came down (Daryus?...I will learn how to spell it...promise...) and said he wanted to sit next to his girlfriend.

So I guess I have two dates now, a 17 year old and a 6 year old.

I feel like such a pedophile.

XD

=p

This group of prank calling, giggling girls left 3 messages on my phone. None of which I could understand, so I turned it off.

Blah.

In the end had a really fun night though. =)

Going to the Point Break tournament tomorrow with Cyrus.

Might hang with him after, he invited me back although he had to baby sit, but I said I didn't mind.

As soon as he went to bed I thought about how he should ask his parents, just in case.

=/

I'll text him tomorrow.

Well it's....12:33 right now, I think I'll end this post and go to bed.

OH WAIT!

Posted up another youtube vid on my account (there was supposed to be 2 but something went wrong, shall fix tomorrow).

Here it is.

Nah, just kidding, it's really here.

Or is it...?

O.O

=p

I so wanna do that...

I Really Should Be Asleep

It is now 1:39 on this lovely Sunday night.

I should be asleep but I'm wide awake, many things going through my mind right now.

Ah, I feel a very negatively vibed post coming on, feel free to skip down to the much more happier post about my Sunday under this one blog readers.

There's also a rant that's gonna be in here too...I can feel it...

Attempted to work on the binder for VV, tried to listen to the prowl tours online but it has proven to be impossible to concentrate on. It's so boring to listen to, and each of the prowls are 30-45 minutes long.

I really wish we could have actually gone on the prowl.

=/

Answered most of the other questions in the binder though.

I could write my journal right now, but I dunno what to say. I'm not good with all this industry and businussy stuff. Really all I got is that Cleveland should use the lake front property for things like shops, and hotels and other such things. Many major cities do that, it seems to bring in some business, and might make people want to move there. =/

Blah.

I asked my Dad for some help, asked him why he thought Cleveland went down and why it's taking us so long to get back up to where we were and stuff.

His answer: Taft.

Well shit, that REALLY helped me, thanks Dad.

*rolls eyes*

This week doesn't seem like it will be a very good week. Getting that creeping feeling of overwhelming on my back.

Which, those of you who knew and remember from last year what that could bring back, although I'm trying my hardest not to let it. Found the object to that childishness and will be giving it to my mother I think.

Cyrus was asking me times he could come over and I told him Tuesday and 7 should be okay but then remembered that I workout then and apparently my mom has an appointment for her arm too, which my dad will be going with her to.

><

I'm completely free Wednesday though...

Winter break is coming up, started talking to my dad, telling him how our break is like, 15 days and that I would really like to come back for a few and work in the warehouse of offices.

He said that they were cutting back majorly this month and that he doesn't think I can. =/

Apparently one of our big customers, Chick Master Inc. has gone bankrupt. They had so much sales happening around the world and then they just canceled and everything. Not to mention the top sales rep guy was laid off...

It's like someone just turned the water off or something. My dad's best business for the company so far this year was in October and September and then BAM November hit and everything just stopped.

Damn economy.

What I don't get is that, like, we've seen something like this coming for awhile right? So like, how come we failed at preventing this huge slump from happening?

Blah.

Need to find a way to make money for the holidays and other things.

Thought about shoveling driveways, that would be GREAT for my back huh?

If it were summer I could mow people's lawns...

Was thinking about cleaning my Grammy's and Uncles house's but I dunno...I'd hate to try and scrounge money off of them when they're getting me gifts for the holidays, ya know? =/

Hmmmm...

I'll think of something...

And if any of you suggest robbing a bank JJ's already beat ya to it. =p

Have to stay after school tomorrow to take that essay test...

Got most of the paragraph planned out in my head though, so that's good.

Unless she changes the topic it's on... O.O

It's 2:14 now...

Dammit why can't things like this happen on a Saturday where I DON'T have school the next day.

Meeeeeeeeeeh.

Dad's pestering me about Cyrus has really been getting to my head, but in the sense that if Cyrus asks me out and I say yes he would be in a pissed off mood and hate me or something.

Okay, so he wouldn't hate me, he's my dad, but my dad seems to know how to make my life a living hell (along with everyone else in the house).

Dammit, why do fathers always have to be all big, mean, scary, and negative when it come's to boys?!

And yes, Cyrus is 2 years older than me, which in high school can be a very big difference when it comes to social group, and education and such.

And yes, he'll be going away to college.

But for crying out loud he's making more of a fuss over Cyrus than Zak who's only ambition in life was to lay me and leave.

Ah, the irony in this situation. I sometimes laugh at it.

Debating on whether or not I should just give up sleeping and caffeine my way through the day...

Why do I have this suddenly feeling I have a physics test tomorrow...

Oh boy.

Still haven't found my Spanish book...I should check the lost and found.

Now that I'm done with my rambling and rants lets find the brighter side of all of this...

I can get my mother to help me with my Valley Voyages things tomorrow...

There is still a chance I can work for SWACO during winter break...

As for the economy...well, I dunno, everything gets worse before it gets better.

And I guess it's good that my dad cares, and that all of this is his way of trying to protect me as a father.

I could try and cram 3 hours of sleep in...

Maybe...

Meh.

I guess there aren't only negative things going on in my mind right now. There's friends, a certain someone, snowflakes, and logs on the fire.

*sigh*

Just watch, this will all blow over tomorrow.

Felt good to get it off of my chest though.

I just can't seem to end a post negative now can I?

=p

The Great Blue Rescue!

Hehe...that rhymes.

=p

Yesterday Dad, JJ, and I decided to go out on a hike in the...Brecksville Reservation I believe.

Before we did Dad wanted to turn all the coins he had in this big jar he had been saving up for years (there were mostly pennies in it) and turn it into cash.

HE HAD $177 IN THERE!

o.o

I'm gonna start saving now...

I have a little itty bitty jar. ^-^

Hiked to this big gorge and when we were on this over-look thing I saw a Pepsi can at the bottom!

I named it Blue and I asked my Dad if I could get it, but he said maybe at the end of the hike.

In the end, I climbed down the 3 mini waterfalls and slippery rocks and slid down to save Blue!

=D

Then I tried to get back up the way I came...it didn't work...

So then JJ threw his walking stick down to me and I climbed up the side and threw Blue up to him.

These people, who turned out to be watching the whole thing, started clapping. =p

They had a nice doggie, who's name was Otis. Oh, and there was this gay guy, who was their friend, who's name was Alex, who complemented my Dad on his boots and said he liked me hat! =D

Alex had a cool rainbow bowl-like hat on too. =p

Funny thing was, when they were walking away JJ and I heard Alex say to his friend "that old guys jacket did not match his outfit."

XD

Dad dropped me off at Devvy Chan's house for a few hours.

I told her about the great blue rescue and then we played rock band. After that we hid under her covers while her dog tried to attack us. =p

Ashton came over and her 2 little cousins (one 3, one 7) joined her...little brats...

I hid my honey buns from all of them. =p

Today I woke up and Dad and I did some un-needed yard work.

We cleaned the grange floor, picked up some leaves, cleans up the dog shit, re-organized the tools in his barn, then shoveled some snow off of the driveway.

=p

Now we're all warm and cozy in the house and I'm waiting for JJ to come home so we can play Mario Party 8.

Might be hangin out with Cyrus later on tonight...

I wish it was cold enough to have a nice warm fire...

Speaking of which, THE FIRE PLACE CHANNEL IS ON!!!

My most favorite channel ever during the winter months.

Check. It. Out.

Oh yeah, and if you see someone put a new log on the fire (not just moving it, has to be a new one) then you get good luck!

=D

Two Days...

I was going to post Friday night but I was too tired!!!

Sorries...

But I'll tell you everything today.

Friday I was bothering Mr. Johansson about his car. =p

A silver/white PT cruiser am I correct?

=D

Don't worry, my mom said if I went joy riding in your car I'd need a damn good lawyer (ha ha).

=p

After school my mom picked Devvy Chan and me up to go see Twilight. First we got Wendy's though!

Then we picked up JJ from his school and headed for the theater.

Heh...I broke Devvy Chan while we were sitting alone in the car waiting for my mom while she was in the Middle School.

I was making her laugh so hard her face was turning red.

=D

During the movie when Edward first appeared all the girls were squealing. I wolf whistled, which added to the squeals.

I must admit though, I was diggin Carlisle.

Rob played his part as Edward well, and Alice's character was perfect all around. Go Ashley Greene!

Overall though the movie bored me, and I think they could have done a lot better. I didn't like the camera angles, and how they put the music to the movie, and the effects weren't all the good either.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 4 or a 5.

I'm really not that pepped to see the 2nd movie either. =/

Awe well.

Devvy Chan was locked out of her house so she hung out at my place until her mom came to pick her up.

I started talking to Caramel on my blog chat thing after that. Until my computer froze...

*growls*

Sorry Caramel!!

Hung out with my dad in the basement and then fell asleep around 11ish.

I normally stay up until at least 12-1 on Friday nights, or even later.

=/

Went present shopping for my mom. Her burday is Wednesday! =D

We got her an electric carving knife, and I found this cute little duck shaped food scraper thing.

We named it Scratch. =p

After that I tried messing around with the VV video clips and then took a shower before leaving to Ryan's house for the hang out.

Even though I was late I was still the 3rd one there.

Devvy Chan got there first and was playing video games, and Peaches had just arrived.

Andy came and then Sami came next with the crack ballz. THANK YOU SAMI!!

The whole group almost ate all of them in a matter of minutes.

Rayy was the last to arrive and then we all got ready for the snowball fight!

In the end it was Ryan and Andy against us girls.

When us gals took over the fort (Ryan's swing set thing) I claimed with with at stick, and while we were playing, Andy threw a snowball and it hit me right in the chest.

So I took the stick, slid down the slide and chased him around the yard with it. =p

Then we all moved to the deck and attacked Andy and Ryan there.

Heh... while I was coming down to help Devvy Chan I ran at Ryan, slid, and threw a snowball that hit him square in the balls!

XD

He proceeded to chase me around the yard. But then I ran in the house, and we locked him out. =p

After the fight we all got changed and hung out downstairs playing I Never (but with soda) and Truth Or Dare.

Peaches, Sami and I all attacked each other for the last crack ball. =p

That was pretty much it after that. Another very interesting party.

Very. Interesting.

If only you people knew.

=D

Had to wake up early this morning to have breakfast with my grandparents (my dad's parents). Very boring...they took us to McDonalds and when I went to chase JJ into the slide thing this lady yelled at me and said that even though I was short I was too old to play in it...



I'm not that short...

=/

That's about it. Waiting for Cyrus to come and picked me up so we can see Quantum of a Solace. =D

Snow Flakes Taste Good On My Tongue

Ah snow, it's a wonderful thing. The pretty white background, the calming fall of the flakes...the stupid annoying chain mail text message that people keep sending to my phone EVERY FIVE MINUTES!!!

....

I love snow.

Bus was late to school today since everyone was driving slow to watch out for ice.

Ryan said I looked like I was in a bad mood when I was at my locker, so he gave me a hug.

I wasn't in a bad mood I was just way out of it (but I appreciate the hug!).

Like, ya know how you're moving but your head has that empty feeling?

Yeppers, like that all until 3rd period.

Coaches mom passed my test.

Test you say?!

Yes teachers I test you!

Beginning of school, BAM test.

Here teachers think they're the only one's giving out tests. =p

But I digress.

I found her quite entertaining too, it seemed like she didn't trust me. Which, she has no reason to, she's only known me for like, a day, but it seemed like she thought I was a juvenile delinquent or something.

Me: *hands teacher my pass book to go to locker*
Mama Lawrence: Do you ALWAYS go to your locker during this period?
Me: Nope, this is only the 2nd time.
Mama Lawrence: Will you come back?!

Well where the hell else am I gonna go, the moon?

But I didn't say that. =p

Maybe she thought that 2nd period was my time to go retrieve my cigarettes from my locker and smoke in the bathroom or something.

Cuz I definitely smoke, ya know?

=p

PE I wanted to replace Cynthia's partner because A. Her partner is lazy and I feel bad for her and B. She was playing against Brooke and I thought I would feel happy or something if I kicked her ass.

I just got pissed actually, she didn't even play, she was like Cynthia's partner who just stood there with a blank look on her face and screamed when the birdie came at her.

I hate it when people do that.

So in the end, Cynthia and I played against each other. We kept the score and even 0-0 for five minutes straight though, so in the end we just played for fun.

Spanish I got my tests back and I got A's!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN TAKE SPANISH TESTS!!!!

I missed one question on the listening test, and 3 on the writing test.

Awesomeness.

History class was fun, we did group work.

Caramel and Sam were semi-fighting over me, I felt so loved. ^-^

Mr. Loman came into the class too and he told me I have too much time on my hands hehe. =p

Art was art.

English we had a sub, and started reading part of the Scarlet Letter. In the end I just went to www.cliffnotes.com to answer the question's in the packet.

I don't think of it as cheating, I think of it as using my valuable resources to help better my grade and make it easier to get to my goal. =)

When I got home I was talking to mom in the garage. We were watching JJ walk up the driveway and when he was about to walk in he must have hit some ice and fell backwards, causing the mail to fly up in the air.

I laughed at him and he got annoyed and punched me in the arm (which is odd for him, since he's never that violent). So being the good role model sister, what do I do?

I punch him back dammit.

So then we started getting in a fist fight, my mom's running around, screaming at us to get the mail, I'm yelling at JJ, JJ is yelling at me, the mail is everywhere.

Then what happens? JJ and I hit the same patch of ice and fall backwards.

We just kinda laid there, looking at each other and laughing before going "That was fun..." "Yeah..."

...

"LETS DO IT AGAIN!"

Then we threw each other in the snow. =p

We're an odd bunch of apple aren't we?

Did my homework and then worked out before coming up to my room to blog.

Devvy Chan was talking about how she joined T.I today (no drugs, sex, violence, alcohol group) and wanted me to join too. I told her no, it's not for me since:

A. I do drink.

A tiny little shot of Apple Pie (good stuff) with my dad at the bar every Friday night.

B. I am violent

Have you read my earlier posts? (I want to punch ____ in the face) =p

C. How would life be fun without any of those?!

I was telling my dad about the whole TI thing as he was sitting on the edge of my bed and he started laughing so hard he fell off. =p

Andy and I were disappointed about Hero's last night, we swore it said the eclipse was supposed to be coming this week not next week...

But, I have the perfect song for Hiro to put on my playlist in regards to this weeks episode. Since, he liked waffles... =p

I hope I can find it to put it on there...

OMG GUESS WHAT!! I WAS MENTIONED ON SOMEONE ELSE'S BLOG!!!

LOOK!! CLICK HERE (November 18th, 2008 post)

See at the end?!

=D

You're welcome!!!!

=D

Apparently Cyrus lost control and his car went into a ditch today, he's not hurt (thank goodness) and neither is his car, but he told me he had to stand in the cold and deal with stupid people for 3 hours...

It made in interesting adventure though. =p

Ashlet is happy. =)

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!

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
