Me and my friends decided awile ago that we all would go to homecomming together. Well homecomming is next saturday and I hadn't gotten a dress yet or even asked mom if I could go. I told Jenny (my sister) this today when I whent with her to take her pets to the vet. She suggested that we go shopping for my homecomming dress tonight. So we whent to the mall. Ummm...that was an interesting expeirence. I've never been to a school dance before and am not the very into fasion so I pretty much trusted jenny on what to get. Of course when she was a senoir in highschool she was a kids size 12 to 14 so she wasn't exactly sure how to start looking either. Well, the first dress I try on is realy nice. But when I show it to jen she basicaly says damn and well to put it bluntly I kinda looked like a slut. She said more of a skank but whatever becuase well the dress was realy low cut and yeah. Well if jen thinks its to low then its defently to low so we move on. There wasn't alot and we made fun of a few dresses in the windows of some stores with bare midrifts exc. Five stores later and about 10 dresses later that all pretty much as jen put it were flattering but just to flattering I fine this nice skirt and shirt. It was kinda diferent and I wouldn't look like five other girls there but for some reason I just didn't like it. By this time were realy tired and decided it was time to leave. Jenny sugest we try another mall on saturday, we both have alot to do on saturday but if we go right after she gets her flew show then we might be able to go to a different mall for a few hours. On the way out we decided we might as well look in the store that we made fun of earlyer just to be thourough. I wasn't planning on trying anything on but I find this red dress. It doesn't look like anything special but I looked at the price and it was 28 dollers 28 dollers. I couldn't not try on a 28 doller dress when the past things I had looked at had been so expensive. And sence I was trying that on I suddently ended up with apile 3 feet high of clothes because if I have to try one thing on might as well try everything on that looks remoatly interesting. The dress was amazing I mean it looked great. It was so cool. I show jen and she compleatly agree so we get it. It was kinda different ummm red strappless ect. But sence it was strapless the neck line didn't reach my navel for once. One the way home were both realy exited to show mom and plan how were going to make her ask how much we spent on something like a dress I'll rarely were ect. So we get home and of course mom whants me to try it on. When I do her job drops to the floor. Yeah uh shocked would not particuraly describe it and she turns to jen and was like you turned my daughter into a a a...With was realy funny because I mean we chose the dress because it was defently one of the less revealing ones. So of course jen and I jump to the dresses defence. So mom says she whants another openion and calls james (my brother in law) up from the basement and asks what he thinks and well is reaction was similar to moms. Witch was followed by many a comment on how I was only 14 with me chimming in with altimate cliche that I would be 15 in less then a month. Jen also says that homecomming was going to have other 14 year olds there so its not like 30 year old guys are going to be oggeling me. Mom says so what there are going to be 17 and 18 year old guys. Ummmm...so what what makes a 17 and 18 year old so untrustworthy anway. Were talking about a 2 to 3 year age difference here. I mean come on. So jen and I keep on mentioning if you think this one looks bad you should of seen this or this or this. After mom got over the shock she admitted that it was a nice dress and she was so shocked and said it was kinda like the time she first found out that jen got a tatoo that also happened to be the night she was going to a strip club for the first time and was dressed like she was about to spend the night out. She loves jens tatoo know. For some reason even though its not a reavealying dress and jen pointed out several times was the only one that didn't draw pples eyes directly to my chest apareantly it being red and strappless gave the illusion that it was worse then it was. I don't realy get that but all I have to say is I didn't think it was that big of a deal and my brides maids dress to jennys wedding was lower cut. I just heard mom talking on the phone to one of her friends and she said it was gorgeous and again mentioned but I was only 14 so I'm glad she liked it. So the conversation turned on how I was going to get out of the house on saturday with it on cause its dad s weekend akay the guy convinced until reacently that if I whent to movies with several friends a few of who happened to be guys I'd magicaly become pregnet by the time I got home (don't you love the respect and trust parents have, sorry sarcasum). So yeah eventualy everyone decided to show him the dress on friday so he could get over what ever shock he has because oh my god I'm wearing red (sorry I get sarcastic when I'm tired) and try and convince him to let me get ready here or at a friends house on saturday so he couldn't change his mind. Honestly though with the way I'v been going on about it you'd think this is some sorta a magical dress but its realy normal. I thought it was cool but not enough for everyone to think about all this. It realy isn't that bad at all. You'd probably laugh if you saw it I mean its just an ordinary red dress.

Took the psats today. I don't know why seeing how they don't count for anything till next year. I think I did okay on everything but the writting comprhension part. I suck at figuring out if a comma needs to go somewere or if a word is mispelled ect. My friend sitting next to me was freeking out. I reminded him that is was just practice but he said he wasn't prepared. The guy has been studing for the sats/psats sence 8th grade and I haven't even started thinking about studing. he says he realy needs to get in a good school (particuraly john hopkens) and needs a scalirship but honestly hes one of the smartest people I know. He was spouting off random facts about how just getting one question wrong would take off so many points and such. I need to pay more attention to this stuff cause I had no idea if the amount being taken of was alot or a little. I pointed out to him that not alot of people would get all the questions right and it doesn't matter how well you did just how well you did in relation to everyone else. He then started ratteling off a list of people he knew he thought would do better then him and when my name came up I was sitting there like uhhh yeah your going to do so much better then me on any standerdized test. He took the sats last year in 9th grade 9th grade and got an 1100. Thats on the new sat and he had only studied on the old one. Then he kept on mentioning how asians were not considered a minority anymore so he couldn't relie on afermitive action to help. Okay, the guy does not need afermitive action to get into coledge. Well thats my little rant on how stupid tests take over peoples lives and its not realy worth it.

Ohhh something else. In chem today someone had written all over the guy a few seets away from mes desk. I know thats not weird but I mean the same person had written a realy long almost letter that covered half the desk. It was in aribic to. Sara tryed to read some off it but its like spanish you know were the two languages have the same letters but are differnt. She knew enough though to figure out it was aribic and a word here and there.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten to anyones sites this weekend I've been very busey. I'm taking this art class because my parents all ways see me drawing and thought it be a good idea. I wasn't so sure cause I was worried that if I started to half to draw then I wouldn't like it as much. Well its okay. Its not on drawing anime or anything just regular drawing. I'm not sure if its helping me but I'm going anyway because I'm sick of my dad complaining that I won't do anything they sugest and their for obvioulsy don't whant to do anything and will end up becoming a fat slob who sits on the couch allday. Sorry, thats me getting a bit annoyed with my dad. Anyway, interestingly enough about half the class likes to draw anime. A boy gave me his anime drawing today and after class me and another girl were stuck waiting for someone to pick us up. She said she noticed I draw anime to and we talked about our favorite series and such. And how dub voices don't match characters. And how its realy hard to draw anime guys who don't look like girls. Because there suposed to look a little like girls but not as much as ours do. Ect. ect. She also sugest a good site for j-pop witch I don't realy listen but have been wanting to give it a try for awile. She said it was nice to talk to me because she doesn't know that many people who draw anime. That she knew plenty who watch it but not draw. Witch surprised me. Alot more people then you think watch/draw anime. Alot of people are just embaresed at what they draw and it takes them awile to let anyone see it. I don't think many of my friends from my old school know I draw anime and if you just start talking about you'd be surprized at what some people know. Well that whent a little of topic but whatever.

In english today we were brainstorming topics that we could write our agargumenitive speeches on. Two people will get a topic and one will argue for it and one against it. Things like abortion, stem cell reasurch, poligamie (I'd hate to have to argue that one), ect. came up. Well of course gay marriage came up because well honestly whenever current events, the goverment, the president, equal rights, ect., ect. comes up in school someone mentions gay mariage. Ms. Zappone, my teacher, said "Well where always discussing gay marriage what about gay adoption." Personaly I think that if a gay couple whants to adopt good for them and I hope it will make their and a kids life better. There was a group of 6 boys though sitting together that when they heard this imeaditalty start aposulutly not and that poor kid. So, Ms. Zappone asked them if it was better to have gay parents or to be in a foster home. One of the guys said something about maybe there real parents shouldn't put them in there in the first place. I'm sitting here thinking umm...I don't think kids in foster homes whant to be there and wouldn't prefeir to have a family family but I don't think its there choice. So for somereason one of them mentioned beating up and another says "Yeah, imagen the poor kid whos dad is beating up his other dad." So of course Ms. Zappone asks "Is that better then his dad beating up his mom" The kid is silent for a moment then says "Its...(pause)...more natural." Half the class who was semi sleeping (me included)sat up while ms. zappone in a voice about five octavies higher then normal goes "What?" Though later we had moved on to the subject of child labor (hate to argue for that one) and ms. Zappone asks if we think its alright for kids to work in sweat shops for five cents a day and the same guy goes "Its better then they make now." Besides that we also brainstormed I think its title nine. The one that gives girls and guys equal rights when it comes to sports. Witch got all the guys on sports teems going of on how the girls got new uniforms and theres were old, how the girls practiced on the better feild ect ect. And all the girls whent of on how their uniforms weren't knew they were actualy old, the guys didn't take care of the feild they practiced on, and they couldn't go near it during practice without being yelled at ect. ect. So then the guys said something about cheirleading not being a sport and that they should get rid of it and that feild hockey was gay and no one would ever play it (the main sports girl complaining was a chearleader and played feild hockey) Sounds like the grass is greener on the other side.

   Found a site that guesses the movie your thinking about by asking yes no questions. I tryed it out with ceres and gingersnaps and it got it both right. Jen tryed velvet goldmine and was realy surprised that it got it right though I've never seen the movie.

In NSL today we had a few debates on if particualar federal mandates are right or not. Lucky me got stuck in the group doing the clean water act of 1972. So exiciting, bit of sarcasum there. Today though the group doing raising the drinking age to 21 whent. That led to a vary interesting discousen and a few glances at my teacher when she she corrected one of the guys who said that they had to take kids to jail she said "They site you."
Boy-huh
nsl teacher- you don't go to jail for that night if they catch you drinking underaged at a coldege party.
Boy-oh, not that i would care or need to know that (jokingly)
Her- of course not not at all (also jokingly)
Erm besides that I didn't realy do much today.

Hmmm...something interesting to say. Michelle got a picture of Toya from ceres and kept on stareing at it on the way home. She whants to hang it up or scan it and put it in the backround of her computer but can't figure out a exuse to tell her mom of why she has a picture of a shirtless guy up even if he isn't tecnicaly real. She whants to put alot of pictures of various guys real and unreal but like I said can't find an exuse to do so and her moms realy strickt on that sort of thing. Though she figures if maybe she can find a pic with a bunch of people on and friendship or something written she can put that up and slowly cover the rest of the picture with other pics ect. ect. Sorry I'm kinda babbling basicaly the bus ride home had a funny conversation that doesn't seem so funny when I write it down. What else. Why should you not tease someone who doesn't know what your saying or that you saying it? I'm trying to get somepeople from not making fun of this one girl whos realy sweet just kinda annoying. They asked me that today and I said something about how its there intentions that matter and they know that there doing and that people aren't stupid. Even if they don't know the exact meaning of what your calling them they still get the idea. I was just curious what other people thought about the question. Something thats annoying me now, when people continuasly say its not my fault and blame things on other people. Thats happened to me lately and I understand that other people do things but honestly I'm not that stupid you have free choice. Just because he did it first or you didn't say it directly to them doesn't mean that your blameless. Second, why can't people just leave each other alone. Honestly, why provoke people. Why yell acrosss the hallway to someone youve been making fun of for the past month say hi and then say there being mean cause they wouldn't talk or look to you. Of course not they expect you to start throughing things or laughing at them. Why say hi at all. Just leave them alone. Listen to me I sound like a kindagarden teacher. Feel like one to.
