I'm so tired of everything right now. Like it hasn't all been done before. It's like being 14 all over again, and I'm getting thoroughly annoyed.
But I have been taking a lot of pictures lately. So you should go check them out. The link's to your left, down at the bottom.

The kid is a moron. Know this.
And, I quit. I can't seem to write with any regularity. I don't feel like I can say what I really want to anymore. I know I'm saying that now, but you know I'll be back. Probably after Winter Break, when I have some kind of schedule back.
We'll see.

My Life Is Like a Bowl of Sad-Wiches
Mood: Bored.
iTunes: Finding Out True Love is Blind - Louis XIV
I. Hate. Winter. Break.
It's just so boring. There's never anything to do. It's constantly around -300°F outside, which means no wild trips to like the beach, and you can only ride the ferry so many times. It's especially lame when you're all poor and stuff. And apparently I ran out of money at some point yesterday, which makes no sense, as I had $50 in my account. But whatever. There's a reason I keep money in my savings account. It gets used up pretty quick when I don't get paid till the end of the month.
I have to like actually go into work today. Which means I have to do laundry, because I ran out of clean clothes sometime last week and have been making it up since then. You can only wear the same shirt so many times before people start to notice, apparently. But I really don't want to do laundry. It's pretty boring.
However, I managed to get to sleep hella early last night. I don't know how. I was only in bed for like 10 minutes before I fell asleep. It was really awesome.

Dorkodontist
Mood: Hideous. I'm in a foul mood.
iTunes: Nothing
I had the weirdest day every today. So far, anyway. It started out pretty freaking lame when I left the house about 20 minutes later than I wanted, then got better for about...half an hour. Then it sucked again, and then it was awesome, and now it's on it's way back down to suckfest.
But I am excited for tomorrow. My friend Megan is having some kind of party at her house, and I think that the kid is going to come.
And now, I have to go to the orthodontist. Which I mistakenly referred to as the "dorkodontist" today, loud enough (as usual) for everyone in the entire hallway to hear.
Question: Do you think that a dorkodontist would be a dork with a degree? Or a doctor whose sole purpose in life to cure dorks of their...dorkdom? I should look into it, maybe I'll finally find a major I can deal with...Or at least start a new trend.

Although, I do have to work today, and I do have clinic after that. But I get off work early.
I was just going to whine again about how boring my life is.
It's not. Really. At least not right now. I think that, at least right at this moment, it's, like, perfect. Hideously busy, but in a good way. I've really never been so busy in my entire life, which is kind of weird.
I just know that in like a week the worst 5 things in the world are going to happen to me, because that's the way things work for me. But you know.

Mood: Siiiick. But actually rather content.
iTunes: Diamonds Remix - Slim Thug
Okay. I'm just about 100% tired of alllll the gangster I've been listening to lately. I don't know why. I'm listening to it right now, when it would take like 5 muscles to lift up my arm and push the little button that would take me on to something like The Libertines or Imogen Heap or something equally better.
And for some reason, whenever I date or do stuff with a guy who really doesn't like rap, I listen to it 100 times more. I don't know why. It really doesn't help things. And then they spend like hours telling me what I should be listening to, and why rap sucks, and that I'm really white, no matter what I think.
It's like some kind of creepy phenomenon, and I wish it would go away.
Anyway. I don't have to go to work today. Instead I'm going over to this girl's house so she can cut my hair for her senior project. Whee! Speaking of hair, the kid got his gorgeous hair cut yesterday. It's all short now. It doesn't look bad or anything, but now there's less of it to play with.
I was just looking through some really old emails I have, and I had sent some slides for a PowerPoint (for some assignment) to myself. Normally, when people do this, they just don't put in a message, or like put in a few random letters (some email things won't let you do this unlses there is a message body or something). But for some reason, I had like written a huge long message.
To myself.
About nothing. What on earth? I'm pretty sure I'm glad I'm not a psycho freak anymore.

Today is kind of weird. Only because my weekend was so long (seeming, anyway), and random, and good.
Except for this girl at church, who apparently is insane, and doesn't understand that she really probably shouldn't get involved in certain aspects of my personal life. But I don't want to get into it on here, really.
Just know, though, that things are going like amazingly well right now. Especially with the kid.

Yellow Stuff
Mood: Mostly bored. A little annoyed.
iTunes: There It Go (The Whistle Song) - Juelz Santana
I think that it's dumb when I have to do stupid things after school for no reason. Like chemistry stuff. I am amazing at chemistry and all, but I refuse to do things after school that involve me coming in and hanging out in the lab watching yellow stuff boil.
Also I hate putting rubber bands in my hair. Not hair ties, I'm fine with those. But like real, newspaper-type rubberbands? That just makes me mad because they never come OUT. They just kind of rip at your hair and take half of it with them when they finally do come out.
Um.

So, it looks like this time next year I'll be living in a little apartment with Zanna, sitting around whining about how freaking expensive food is, and doing whatever it is college girls do when they have just moved into a crappy little apartment in downtown Everett.
And dang it, I am so excited.
The plan: Work my butt off for the rest of this year, find a better job and work full time during the summer, saving like crazy. Then, in October, as soon as I turn 18, moving out. And, um, that's it. Oh, I'll be going to EvCC starting that fall, which is kind of huge. I have to like apply for scholarships all over the place starting, like, 2 weeks ago, just so that I can help my parents pay for school somehow.
But my mom is all for it, and Zanna and I are all for it, and we have a plan, and things are just going to be so awesome as soon as I graduate.
This is the second entry in the past like day and a half where I've said that, but it's true. So true.

Okay. I will admit it. I have absolutely no reason to be nervous, whatsoever.
Umm...I hate onion aftertaste. Not immediate aftertaste. The taste that comes a couple hours later. It's like vomit aftertaste.
Uhhh...Hey, it's about time for class to be over.

I don't like my CE class. It is a waste of my time.
But I think that my life is about to become one heck of a lot more exciting, for various reasons.
Um. Yeah, you'll never find out what those reasons are, if I play my cards right. But know that I will hopefully be having the time of my life, which is acceptable only because I'm a senior in high school and this is the last year I have to be a kid.
Although, I have to admit, this whole situation would be hella funner if I was an adult.

Maybe people should stop TELLING ME WHAT TO DO.
(Update: This isn't directed at any one person, certainly not anyone who reads this. I'm ranting. And I will edit this entry forever until I get it just right, and I get everything out of my system. Keep your eyes open. There's more to come.)
I know that I am only 17, and you are like twice my age or whatever, and you have experience with these things, and you don't want me to make the same mistakes you did. But I don't learn like that. I can't listen to something and know it's absolutely true. That's going to be something I have to learn for myself. Also, I'm not the same person as you, in case you didn't notice. I won't do well in certain situations that you may have been amazing in. Things that made all the difference in the world for you may not do the same for me.
I only have 17 years of experience, and crappy judgement on top of that, but you were 17 once. And you're still alive, and successful, and were even on the brink of making life-changing decisions like I'm about to - although, I bet you chose differently. And it worked for you, so it must be the same for everyone else! Right?
Nope.

Mood: Distracted. And mad. And getting madder.
iTunes: Oh - Dave Matthews Band
Gmail isn't working, for some reason. I can't email my mom and ask if I can go home early, and that makes me angry. Also, she gave me this huge long speech about what I should do with my life this morning. I don't appreciate this.
There are a lot of things making me angry at the moment. My hair didn't straighten as well as I would have liked it to this morning. I think I failed my chemistry test last period. Or not quite failed, because I know I passed, but I don't know if I passed as well as I wanted to.
Gmail is still down. And I apparently can't type worth anything at this moment.
Too many people are telling me what to do on a now-daily basis. Before, I only got told once in a while, it was really easy to ignore it.
Suddenly, everybody knows better than me who I should hang out with, who I should like, where I should go, what I should be saving up for, how much I should be saving, how often I should be working, where I should be working, what I should be listening to, what I should dwell on, what I should forget and move on from, and so on.
I have gone for 17 years and 2 months without making any huge life-altering/damaging mistakes. I've made big mistakes. But I'm not prematurely dead, or hopelessly addicted to anything, or a teenaged single mother with absolutely no hope or prospects. I'm okay. I think that I will continue to be okay if I go out with him, or go to that school, or listen to that song.
Really.

iTunes: Can't Stand Me Now - The Libertines
I'm in a good mood today. My parents are having some kind of "Monday Night Football" party tonight. No one in our entire family even watches football, much less cares at all about it. Anyway, they'er calling it a party. They have only, apparently, invited one other family, and none of the kids in said family are my age. I was whining to the kid about it, and he said he would come. As long as his mom says it's okay. I'm a little ecited about it. Hopefully that will make it a bit more bearable. Also Zanna said that she and her boyfriend might come, and Spencer also might come, if he can get away from his family long enough. At any rate, I might not be left alone with nothing to do but study for my huuuuge chemistry test tomorrow, which I'm going to ace either way, because that's the only class I'm any good at.
I don't have an English class this semester. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I am thinking that rather than major in biology (which was the plan a while ago) in college, that I might want to major in English and..Actually. I have no clue what one does with an English major, besides maybe teach. And I dont think I really want to teach much. Also I can't stand all those classics you're kind of supposed to like as an English major - I just like writing.
Well. I'm only a senior. I have plenty of time...right? Gag.

I'm fairly certain that yesterday was a good day. I got the best possible parking spot at the most ghetto mall in Washington, the best possible deal on this pair of shoes that I bought (sorry, no picture yet. But know that they are cute. They are ballet flats covered in silver and black sequins.), and then...actually. That's about where all the good stuff stops. It started snowing. Hard. And my parents wouldn't let me drive anywhere. But then I got on later and the kid was online, and he wanted a ride to school this morning. Which wasn't cancelled, it was fully in session.
It was an awesome ride to school. Actually, not really, I gave him a ride on Wednesday too and it was exactly the same as that time-we didn't really say much at all. But still. His dog jumped on me when I walked in and made my hand smell like dog. It was kind of gross, but toally forgiveable, because he got in my car and made it smell really good.
I could go on about this kid for hours. He's just so good looking, with his amazing hair. But I'll spare you.

It's snowing. When I was little I loved snow so much.
And now that I drive, I HATE IT. I don't mind driving in it a whole lot, that part is fine. It's the scraping of the windows, and I swear my parents think that I have the same amount of driving ability that I did when I ripped the bumper off the van the first day I had my license.
Come on, that was almost a year ago.
Anyway. Remember that kid, the one I told I liked him?
We hang out like all the time now. Or something. I like it. And we're hanging out lots this weekend, too.
I heart being 17, people!

A couple things happened this weekend that are, like, taking over my life and I can't really just talk about them with everyone, or anyone.
It's a big deal, really, and that's not just my girly teenager side talking. Maybe someday you'll find out, but for now, you'll be okay until I can think about other things that I can post. You understand.

Happy Thanksgiving, Kids
Mood: Bored
iTunes: Heart of Glass - Blondie
Thanksgiving, for me, is probably the most boring holiday in the world. I spend it, every year, with family members who see each other all the time, and I only ever see them like every 5 years. (I have two different sides of my family and it's the same on both sides.) It's really boring, and really, I hate the kind of food Thanksgiving's all about. Meat is siiiiick, mashed potatoes are boring, and rolls are just dry and make my mouth all nasty tasting. Yuck. Pumpkin pie is the only redeeming thing about it. Yesterday was no different, except that there was a fruit salad there I absolutely loved.
Anyway. I came home around 9 and got online and sat around until like 10:30 and then I went to bed. Whee!
How was your Thanksgiving?

Mood: Happy. Ish. It's a half day.
iTunes: Wake Me Up When September Ends - Greenday
Hey Kids:
When I said spontaneous dancing on the sidewalks would be a good thing, I did not mean spontaneous "stopping right in front of me to make out with your significant other." That's just plain not cool, because not only does it not make me laugh, but you are gross too. Next time it happens, be warned - I'm going to loom over you and GLARE. And I will refuse to go around you. Just to make you uncomfortable.

Too Much Walking/Talking, Not Enough Spontaneous Dancing
Mood: Pretty good, again! Whoo!
iTunes: Dark Heart Silhouette - Vendetta Red
I was noticing today that I am the only kid ever that spontaneously dances. Actually, I don't do it very often. Very very rarely will you see me dance. And I never ever dance alone.
Ahem. Anyway. How much better would school be if more people randomly started dancing on the sidewalks between classes? It would make me smile. I don't smile enough, anymore.
Also, my friend and I have decided that the phrase "over yonder" isn't used enough in present-day vernacular. So, encourage your classmates and co-workers to use it, just because I think it would be funny.
And, you know, it's all about me here.
Hmm. There was something else I was going to write about today, and now I'm really disappointed because I can't remember what it was. Darn. Umm...Nope. Can't remember. Sorry. If I remember eventually, I will totally write a whole new entry, just for you.

Dang Stupid Junior Boy...
Mood: Effing TIRED OF THIS.
iTunes: Music When The Lights Go Out - The Libertines
"Oh won't you please forgive me, I no longer hear the music..."
Yeah, so, dumb kid, I got online and noticed he was on. So I IM-ed him, and he goes (immediately), "Oh, I have to go." So I was like, "Okay, make sure you have fun."
And then he didn't get off. He's still on but I can't get up the guts to IM and ask him wtf he's doing.
I wish that I knew what the heck he was thinking. I wish I knew for sure he didn't like me so I could get over him and move on to someone new.
Not that there's anyone else around. I need a boyfriend for whom to leave little snippets of emo-ocity so that I can stop writing all these things for pages and pages in my (paper) journal at night just so I can say them to someone, even if that someone is actually a stack of papers held together by, you know, that wire spiral.
&^%# it. (This is how lame I am, I only pretend to swear. Jeez.)

Umm...sheepishness.
Mood: Lethargiiiiic
iTunes: I Am A Heart Watson and the Rest of Me is Mere Appendix - Forgive Durden
Um, so, I found my dear little headphones. They were quite UNDER the front seat they were last seen on. Blech, I hate it when little stupid things like this happen to me.
Also I was washing my car yesterday and whatnot, and I accidentally kicked a hole in the side of the soap container. Now I have these huge painful gashes on my leg. Not only were the edges of the hole real jagged, by the way, but they were also absolutely dripping with soap. It kind of sucked a bit. You know.
I'm kind of disappointed today. I have nothing to do until about 7, when I have to haul myself and a couple friends down to either Renton or Redmond, I'm not sure which yet. I always get them so confused. Anyway, there's a dance there. It should be...awesome. Yes, awesome. Toooootally awesome. Sigh.
Maybe I will meet the boy of my dreams there. I can hope, right?

Why am I so amused?
Mood: I'm in a 100% awesome mood. Today is wonderful.
iTunes: Superhero Girl - Eve 6
Today is a really good day, and I'm not sure why. We went to take our senior class picture in the gym this morning, only the photographer never showed up so it was a totally productive use of school-mandated SSR. I sat with this girl in my math class and so many things made me laugh super hard.
Then we were walking back to the A building with a couple other kids and they were hilarious. One of them is stalking me, I have decided, mostly because he takes pictures of me out of nowhere. And also because I saw him and this awesome girl walking today and they stopped and talked to me and I'm pretty sure he was recording it. Not too mention he told me he was stalking me. You know.
In other news, I totally regret buying my Etnies a size too small. They've been so small for about 8 months now, but it really started bugging me today. I think it's my toenails. I could so do without toenails.
My family leaves for Boise next week. This means that I will have the house aaaaallll to myself for 4 or 5 days. That pleases me. I like being alone, for the most part. Especially since I can drive and no longer have to share a car with my parents. Although, apparently the oil has been overdue for a changing since waaaaaay before I got it. I guess I should get that in and changed...sigh.
I also found out I don't have to work at all next week--the girl I sub for is planning on working the whole time. That pleases me too, because although I am saving up for a laptop, I am decidedly tired of my job. It's just so monotonous.
I'm listening to this song, "Your Clown," by Eiffel 65. Apparently, according to the song, this guy's girlfriend said there was someone else but still wanted to date him. What kind of girl would do that? If I said, to my totally (The italics underscore my bitterness towards my lack of a boyfriend with whom to hang out with next week.) hypothetical boyfriend, "Oh, hey, I like this other guy now. But don't worry about it. I still love you," I'm pretty sure I'd get dumped in a hurry. What girl even thinks that would be a good idea?
Okay, I'm done discussing techno that is waaaay old and waaaay past it's prime.

Are yoooouuu my headphones?
Mood: Exhausted. And bored. And a little hyper...imagine that!
iTunes: You're Beautiful - James Blunt
So, my iPod headphones have disappeared. I'm a little concerned. They were sitting on the front seat of my car, and they were not there when I went to grab them after chem. I'm hoping Zanna just put them in my glovebox or something, because if they are lost I have no idea how I will get through school for the rest of the year. Namely, CE. I just can't stand it.
I got a new co-worker today. Her name is Pam. She's interesting. Um. I am used to working alone, and that's why this is significant. No more dancing in my office. No more singing, even quietly to myself. No more falling off my chair. Sigh.
I just discovered a great band, if you're into the Seattle scene...Forgive Durden. They make me smiiiiiiile.

School's Back In...
Mood: A little bit...pre-occupied.
iTunes: Hammertime - MC Hammer
I'm at work. Hurray!
I'm also listening to MC Hammer, you'll notice. When I was, like, 4 years old, I was inlove with him. IN LOVE WITH HIM. We had the same pants, you see. What child in the early nineties/late eighties didn't?? Anyway, just a little something I thought I'd share while the scanner is having a little party of its own on my desk.
I'm looking out my window. The beautiful little paper mills right down on the water are making huuuuge clouds of smoke. It's kind of amusing to watch the part of downtown (that I am not in) slowly get covered in what looks like a big white puffy cloud. Oh I am so impressed that something pretty finally came into existence down here, too bad it's going to be gone in an hour or two.
I totally was just leaning forward really far and my chair fell over. Ouch, I'm pretty sure I whacked my ribs/stomach on the edge of the desk. Dang. It sort of knocked the wind out of me. Yuck. And on that note, I will leave you.

Mood: Boooooooored. Boredboredboredboredbored.
iTunes: Crede-ma - O-Zone
A second ago I was sitting here, reading the blogs I read every day. All the sudden I glanced to the right, and this kid was just staring at me. Not the kid in talked about an entry or two ago, this is a totally different kid I don't even know very well. Anyway, I thought that was a little weird and thought I would share it.
In other random-yet-exciting news, my teeth are moving. Ohhh are they moving. I have braces, of course. Anyway, recently I've been doing little things with my mouth that I've always done, but now they make my teeth rub on each other in excruciatingly painful ways. And I can never remember long enough that they do that, and end up causing myself so so much unnecessary pain.
Umm...today is Wednesday. WebbSki classes start tonight, and then, in a few weeks, the on-snow clinics start and then I get to be a teacher again. Yeeesssss...!

Oh I know you do. So here you go.
On Saturday, I was talking to this kid I like on MSN IM, because that's what I do. Anyway, I had just posted a survey on MySpace in which I said that I liked someone, but not who. For some reason, this kid decided he just had to know who it was. (I was so irritated.) After like three hours, he finally guessed himself, and I told him that yes, it was him.
I have no idea what possessed me to do this. I have never ever ever done that before, but for some reason I did it then. I wasn't planning on it. Yeah, he doesn't like me, apparently.
Except that today, I'm pretty sure he just sat and stared at me for like ever while we were in the band hall.
?????!!!!! What does that MEAN??
Oh my goodness I am so insane. Agh.

My stupid iPod is broken. For my birthday, I got a spare battery pack thingy for it, and ever since, whenever I haven't had the spare plugged in, the iPod's internal battery won't work, no matter how many nights in a row I charged it for. I'm a little annoyed, because I forgot the pack today. Laaaame.
In other news...Actually, there is no other news. Nothing interesting, anyway. This weekend was pretty boring, for the most part, except for a couple minor points of...very mild boredom-relief. Sigh. I need a life, pretty quick.

My life is a little bit like...like Friends. It's long, and boring, and you ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
Because, you know, I'm 17, and that's the way things are, until you turn 18 and can exercise your power to vote, and influence things, and drive more than 3 people in your car. At least in Washington.
That's also when you can get a real job, with real people, and you will have funny stories to tell about them.
Oh my goodness I am bored out of my skull and I do not blame you if you never come back to this page.

Mood: Hyper!

Today is the best day ever, I'm pretty sure. Mostly because this happened.
(Sarah and I are walking to class from the band hall. Our path coincides with this really hot kid.)
Sarah: Wow, that kid has really nice hair!
Me: I dare you to touch it.
Sarah: (walks over to the kid) Hi, I think you have really nice hair, and my friend just dared me to touch it. So, can I touch it?
Kid: Um, Yeah, go ahead...(Bends over to her height, and she pats his head.) Thanks!
After this the three of walked to the C building in silence, all trying as hard as possible to hold our laughter in until we were apart.
And then we laughed so hard we nearly fell down the stairs.

17 Going on 70
Mood: Sick, and a little exhausted
iTunes: (Everything I Do) I Do For You - Newfound Glory
I'm getting upset with myself. I do a lot of little things in advance, like organizing papers I'm carrying into the order I need to do things with them in, and getting books I'm going to need first thing the next day out of my locker and into my backpack. Just little things like that. Putting things where I know I'm going to see them the next morning if I kno I'm going to forget them. Anyway. I keep doing them, then forgetting I do them. Like yesterday. I needed to make a deposit for work at the bank across the street, and then go buy a parking pass for my boss a block away from that. On my way over there, I put the deposit book/check on the top, and slid the check for the pass underneath it all. I got over to the bank, and as I was standing in front of it, I started panicking (sp? this is a word, right?) because I thought I had lost the check for the pass. So I come to a complete stop, and just stand there like an idiot for a couple minutes, trying to figure out how bad I was going to get killed for losing it, because I don't see it anywhere. Eventually I had the bright idea to check the stack of papers I was carrying, and it was right there. Hiding underneath the deposit book, right where I'd left it.
The day before that, I got my math book out of my locker and threw it in my backpack so I wouldn't have to walk across the street in the rain the next morning to get it before class. Needless to say, I forgot all about this and walked all the way over there anyway. I got soaked, and it was stupid. It wasn't there, and I freaked out. I walked all the way back to the band hall, where I'd left my backpack, and found it sitting there in my backpack, mocking me.
I need to not be forgetful. I just turned 17, not 70.

So I come to a complete stop, and just stand there like an idiot for a couple minutes, trying to figure out how bad I was going to get killed for losing it, because I don't see it anywhere. Eventually I had the bright idea to check the stack of papers I was carrying, and it was right there. Hiding underneath the deposit book, right where I'd left it.
The day before that, I got my math book out of my locker and threw it in my backpack so I wouldn't have to walk across the street in the rain the next morning to get it before class. Needless to say, I forgot all about this and walked all the way over there anyway. I got soaked, and it was stupid. It wasn't there, and I freaked out. I walked all the way back to the band hall, where I'd left my backpack, and found it sitting there in my backpack, mocking me.
I need to not be forgetful. I just turned 17, not 70.

If I Ever Broke Into A House...

My aunt's house got broken into yesterday. The criminals apparently were super
dumb, because this is what they took:

My aunt's house got broken into yesterday. The criminals apparently were super
dumb, because this is what they took:
- A toothbrush
Used. A Sonicare, but used. And they left the charger.
- A paintball gun
Minus the hopper, helmet, and other things that would make it work.
- A pistol
This is legitimate. Although they left the serial number, which means that if it's used or sold, they will be discovered.
- The car
Only it's a stick, so they ditched a couple blocks away. And they left her wallet in it. Who knows why.
- A digital camera
This is also legitimate.
- A laptop
So's this.
And the things they left...
- A $10,000 diamond ring
- A different digital camera
- A selection of iPods
- 3 other paintball guns
- Magazines for aforementioned pistol
And this is why if you live in Stratton Hill in E-Town, feel free to leave jewels and other totally expensive things on the counter. They will go for stupid things, generally speaking.
I think that this is the most poorly written entry ever. I'm not proud of it. I'm going to bed, and POSTING IT ANYWAY.

I Have Learned Something About Me
Mood: Bored
iTunes: Addicts of Communication - Randy
Today, I was in Chemistry and I learned something about me. Whenever I have a ponytail, and I get nervous (which is a LOT of the time) I have this weird habit of flipping my ponytail on top of my head and like leaving it there. I have never realy been entirely conscious of this before, but I know that I've done it.
Anyway. Today is Halloween. Happy Halloween. Um. I am totally unexcited by this holiday, in case you couldn't tell. Mostly because I'm too old too dress up, I never liked dressing up anyway, and we get an average of .5 trick-or-treaters per year. Therefore we eat all the candy we stupidly bought, thinking this will be the year when the entire population of children in E-Town will come to our house at the end of our dark and scary dead end (Yeah. Our dead end.). Of course, it never works that way. I end up cavorting about the house trying to find a clean and empty bathroom floor to sleep on in case I puke all over again.
Do you understand why being 17 doesn't excite me either? NOTHING EVER CHANGES.
But I'll let you know if anything exciting happens tonight.

Today, I did not shower until after I had run all my errands. And I still haven't brushed my hair. And I am fine with this! Hurray!
Last night, for the first time since the 1970s or something, my high school footbal team won and is going to the state playoffs. Or something.
And I bought The Sims 2 for Gameboy Advance, so that I can be a nerd everywhere, rather than just at home.
Anyway, goodnight.

I Would Laugh If You Talked Back
Mood: I want to go home...
iTunes: Nothing
We left a message for him today written in pennies and bottle caps. I'm just waiting for him to get so irritated he starts leaving angry messages written in rocks on my trunk or something, because then I could accuse him of having conversations with pine needles and bottle caps.
Today after work I have to go help Zanna move into her new room. It should be a good time, except that the landlords SUCK and decided not to replace the disease-ridden carpet and paint the baby-food stained walls or replace the melted tile. I was over there last Wednesday, and the place was DISGUSTING. I know the landlords pretty well too, and I can say that I'm not surprised they're not doing anything like making it presentable. They're a little bit unsavory and actualyl just plain weird. They cut their daughter's hair with a Flobee.
Or however you spell it. Either way.

Mood: Tired
iTunes: All Cried Out - Vendetta Red
Today during lunch, Zanna and I left a little message written in pine needles on this kid's trunk. He confronted me about it after school.
"I remembered that your car was covered in pine needles this morning, and now it isn't! And besides, who else has the kind of time to write messages in pine needles?"
Today was an okay day, though. Except for the part where I was in CE. Because I realized that it really does suck my soul out and make me an unfeeling zombie. The song "Dakota" by the Stereophonics ALWAYS makes me cry, no matter what. But when I listened to it in CE, it evoked no emotion whatsoever.
I had to listen to it again later, just to be sure it was CE and I wasn't becoming a soulless robot in general.
Work was okay today. My internet isn't working for some reason, which makes it a little more boring. Not that I have a whole lot of time for the internet, but you know. It would be nice.

I started at my new job yesterday, and it was cool. Basically, I am the scanner's babysitter. Only I get paid more than $3.50 an hour. It's nice that I'm in the office mostly alone, and I get paid to feed things into the scanner and listen to my iPod.
We all know that an awesome job = getting paid to listen to music.
Not much else is going on. And I have nothing particularily witty or interesting to say.

Happy Birthday to Me
Mood: I'm feeling AWESOME today.
iTunes: Helicopter - Bloc Party
Today is my birthday. I'm 17 now. Um, whee? What does being 17 get you? I don't watch rated R movies. And I don't get any new driver's license privileges.
Speaking of driving. I got in an accident on Friday. This kid was park in an un-spot (A spot that is only a spot because he's parked there every day. If I kill a bunch of people, does that make it right? NO.) and I backed into him. Because I was driving the van. This would never have happened if I'd been in my Acura. Because I would have sat for an hour and waited until he came and moved his car because that is how much I like my car. But anyway.
It happened, and it sucks.
But it's my birthday now, and I got my iTrip. And some awesome clothes.
And I am so happy. Except that my friend got in a car accident this morning, and her car is totaled. But she's ok, and her mom is ok, and so I'm relieved.
Even if her and her boyfriend did make out in my backseat all the way through Shoreline. SICK.

I really shouldn't be in a good mood. But I am. Partly because I called Mr. Acura-Thief and he promised me my car would be done today. And also I get out of school an hour early to go pick up said Acura and also to help at the middle school carnival. Which isn't till later, but you know.
But as of two mintues ago, I sat down to write my reflective letter again.
And sconsquently, all of the joy was sucked out of my life. This is because my letter is too short. And I know exactly which section needs more and I can't DO IT. It's the part about my talents. Yeah, I'm whining about it again. Because we're supposed to come up with these talents that we have that pertain to our future education and career goals. And my skills are things like, you know, sewing, breathing, driving, and sitting.
None of which have anything really to do with microbiology, which is what I want to go into.
I mean, besides, you know, breathing is a good talent to have so that I don't die four mintues into college. But you can't say that in a letter such as this.
GAH. Senior year will be the death of me.

I Have No Titles.
Mood: ...Rather blank.
iTunes: Land Locked Blues - Bright Eyes
The car won't be done until tomorrow after school. Lame.
So, my reflective letter is slowly coming together. (The RL is supposed to be a reflection of yourself as a learner, you know, pivotal learning experiences, futures goals for education and career...it's a semi-major part of the CE.) I keep thinking of things, outside of CE, and then forgetting to put them in once I'm in class. But of course, as soon as I walk through the door of the classroom, any creativity/writing ability/good ideas go flying out of my head.
Maybe if I email myself I will remember them.
In other news, my mom found me a job at her office. After school, filling in for the girl that does most of the scanning of documents (It's a law office.) and that sort of thing. 7.50 an hour, which isn't great, but it will for sure pay for dates and things.
Because, you know, I totally have 987 dates a day, during the week. The weekend is a whole different story.
Maybe I should get an actual date and stop whining to my mom about never having any.
Sounds like a plan.

Mood: I'm feeling very tired of everything today.
iTunes: Nothing...I forgot my headphones on my table. At home. In my room.
I am not in a super good mood today. And, actually, that's not a bad thing. For some reason, I have noticed, whenever I have a really bad day at school, I have an awesome time when I get home. Something will happen that willl excite me to no end, and it makes up for the general crappiness of the whole day.
I'm sure that's not what's happening, you know, some kind of creepy stalker making good things happen at home. But you know. I've come to rely on it when I have awful days.
Anyway. Today is sucking, and I am totally hoping that means that when I get home the Acura place will have my car ready and nice and fixed and beautiful. Oh, and also, that I will think of roughly 600 songs I need to download immediatly and put on my iPod.
Have I mentioned I am 100% tired of all 920 songs I have on there at the moment? I'm opent o suggestions.
I like emo, hip hop/rap, and techno. Bright Eyes is my favorite, and I thoroughly enjoy Kanye West and Snow Patrol.

My Life Is Empty And Dream-Less
For my CE (Culminating exhibition-->huge senior project) I have to write a business letter type thing to the panelists who will be (eventually) judging my project and the presentation thereof. It's supposed to be reflective of experiences in our lives that have led to us making some sort of decision or realization or something. Or at least that's my understanding of it. Anyway. I sat down to write it today, now that I have a sample of a block form letter, and this is what I have come up with the the past 20 minutes:
Dear Panelists:
Sincerely,
Megan
And this is all I think it is ever going to say. I have very little ambition and I'm not all that driven. I'm getting my associate's at EvCC before I even think about a four year university, so pretty much anything I do here at EHS means absolutely nothing in the long run. Theer are a few things I really want to do with my life, such as getting my degree in microbiology and having a career in that field and other random goals like that.
But really, does high school make any difference at all, other than a holding pattern until I get into lovely lovely community college?
No.
Gol, I'm bitter today.

Apparently Evility is Looked down Upon at EHS.
So, I am in the library during lunch once again. I am sitting here, reading some blog, and I see a link to some page that says Gargamel. So I click it. And it is BLOCKED by the dweeby school filter thingy. So I go to Google, because at this point I am very interested in seeing a picture of Gargamel (I know who he is, but I don't know what he looks like). And I Googled him.
And every. Freaking. Gargamel. Webpage. Is. BLOCKED.
Well, I didn't try all 516,000 matches for "Gargamel," actually, there just isn't time. But still. The 6 I did try were all blocked, and I am extremely disappointed.
In other news, I'm pretty sure I'm a huge creep.
-megan.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure I am one of the 6 people in the worl who have ever googled "spawn of gargamel."
I need a life, again.

Oh my goodness
He cannot even spell my name right even though it is at the bottom of every email I have ever sent him and I have known him for almost 5 years.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever understand him, and I will probably always think of him as some kind of runty bald yeti.

I am NOT happy. And I'm hungry...

Mood: I'm sort of hungry and irritated.
So, today is an awful, awful day. Last night my mom was being dumb, and I talked back, and she took away my keys. At first, I was like, hmm, okay, whatever, because that makes MORE WORK for you. Not really the other way around. But now I'm kinda pissed about it. I have to wait around for her after school, and then I have to convince her to either:
a) Drive me to my asset test at 4:30, and then pick me up at 6, or
b) GIVE ME BACK MY KEYS.
Neither of which seem likely. And I really need to take this test.
Althought, things are looking good on the Spokane-Moving-Getting Out Of E-Town front...
Also, I was the only one in my entire family at my house.

Mood: I am in a VERY good mood.
iTunes: The Ex - Billy Talent
Mr. Peacocke has this awful assigment where we list our strengths and weakness and whatnot, and I hate things like this. I think that they are stupid. Mostly because I have no real strengths. I have skills. Not strengths. What is the difference?
Stengths are things like being responsible, and playing nice, and sharing.
Skills are things like snowboarding, and sewing, and "knowing things." (Yeah, I put "knowing things.")
Here is how I hope to answer such a question in a future job interview. Only, you know, a little more eloquently:
"So, what are some of your skills?"
"Hmm. Well, I'm good at sewing, and I taught snowboarding for a couple years, so I'm pretty good at that. Oh, and I'm AWESOME at knowing things. Oh man. No one knows things like I do."
Yeah. I'm so failing in life.

Perhaps This Will Be Fun.
I am so so hoping that this works on the school computers, because nothing else does.
If it does, that means that all kinds of fun will be had during CE and other such classes which require nothing but sitting. And breathing. They feel nice and successful if you don't keel over and die in the classrooms. Also it helps keep morale up. But obviously, they're not too terribly concerned about that, or they would trust us a little more than 4-year-olds.
Although, a lot of us shouldn't have that much trust...
