   ...Yeah.
Howdy. Buenos Dias. Allo. Hello. Hallo. And all those other greetings that people love to abide by.

I'm bored, as of the moment. But...

Dah, dah, DAH! BS01 wiki is back and running (in case you don't know, it's the ultimate place to get any kin of Bionicle information. I'm part of the Newsletter team, which I love being a part of. The guys are so great! ^_^)

Yet, I feel like I'm the only girl there.

*stares at you*

Stop looking at me like that! Just because I have a Kakashi avatar doesn't mean I'm a guy...

*blushes* It means something else. *blushes again*

What?! Nothing's wrong with me! I've got no problems! Oh. You say you weren't thinking what I just said?

...

I really hate my opinions sometimes. <_<

Anyway, I hope Kirby and I will be going on the same day for UIL. I know my brother isn't going on the same day as me, since he has Art on the second day, while I have it the first day. Kirby has Art as well on that day and, well, we're hoping we'll be able to go together on th first day (me for Social Studies, her for Ready Writing) If not...*cries*

ANOTHER WHOLE UIL YEAR WITHOUT YOUR FRIEND!!! :(

Terrible.

Also, yesterday, my English teacher asked me if I wanted to borrow a book that was on top of thecounter in the back. See, our English class are studying over the Holocaust (You know, with Anne Frank and Hitler and all...?) The book is called 'I Have Lived A Thousand Years' by Livia Bitton-Jackson, who is also a Holocaust surviver and the main character in the book. My goodness, when I read a few chapters of it, (and, yeah, I sort of skimmed to the back of the book; naughty me) I felt so helpless!!! The Jewish prisioners were literally stripped naked in the dead of winter, shot to death for no apparent reason, and so many other horrors!

There was this one part, and I quote:

'There is dead silence. Suddenly a girl screams, "Mommy! Mommy! They are killing my mother!"
Another shot rings out.
"Ruhe. Quiet. Or you'll be shot."
But her shrieks grow more frantic "Mommyyy! Where are you? Mommyyy...They are killing my mother! Everbody, listen. Hear the shots? Oh, Mommy. Oh, God, they are killing her!"
The silhouette of a body sitting upright is outlined in the middle of the room. Someone places an arm around her shoulders, trying to soothe het: "Shush. Quiet. You had a nightmare. Lie down here, next to me. Lie down. Here." The hand gently draws her down on the blanket, but the body jerks away, springs up, and begins to scream again, a bloodcurdling scream: "Let me go! Let me go to my mother!"
The door opens, and two German guards enter, their guns drawn. "Who is shouting?"
Flashlights train on the lone standing figure. "Komm mit." Come along. "Los!" Each guard holds on to an arm, and the young girl, still screaming, is led out of the barrack. Seconds later, a shot rings out.
I sit up with alarm. "They shot her?"'

That's from the book, and there was this one, very bloody and graphic scene that I just couldn't stop reading over and over again, but I won't put it on here. That is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. I hope nothing like that ever happens again. *shivers*

Well, in Art, there's this contest that we have to draw a fish, so we could try to win for scholarships, but there is NO way I'll ever draw a decent fish. I drew one today, but that was to say that I did it, and you can't blame me!

In tennis, Kirby and me played against each other. Hee. Kirby was lazy today. *pats Kirby's head* ^_^

In Science, we went to the computer lab for testing...again.

In Pre-Algebra, same. Equations and Proportions.

English, grammar.

Computer Lit.--I CAN'T figure out how to do the movie maker thing! UGH! Windows Media Player was easy, but THIS?! Ugh.

In American History, we just did a catch up day. Yeah, I have to finish my Enrichment paper and my projext for Pre-Algebra is due Mon. (don't forget!)

Bye, for now! ^_^
