Mood: Very. Very. Preoccupied.
iTunes: I Guess This Is Growing Up - Blink 182
Yeah, it seems like I haven't written in a while. Um, sorry, for all three of you that read this.
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.

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.

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.

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.
