So it's been 2 months today since I got on here.... oops.
I don't think anything major has really happened though, so its all good.
I've read a lot in the last month, which is kinda odd for me... I've become addicted to James Patterson's Alex Cross series... Actually just Patterson's books in general, but whatever. And I read Stephen King's Bag of Bones, which was the first Stephen King book I've ever read. And then today I finished a book called Dairy Queen that I started back in June, but it was Sami's summer reading book, so she had to finish it and stuff, and she finally let me borrow it friday. But right, everyone needs to go out and read the Alex Cross books. They're SO GOOD. And even though they're kinda long, the story moves fast so it doesn't take too long to read em. I had to read "Cross", which is actually the most current addition, for summer reading. And when I finished that I went out and bought the first one, "Along Came a Spider", and just finished that about 30 minutes ago. Lots of twists and action and stuff to keep you interested. Yay.

So school isn't all that bad. With block scheduling we have 4 ninety minute classes that're actually 85 minutes cuz of lunch and the 5 minutes between each class. And I have 2 free periods cuz they let us do that when we're taking 3 or more AP/IB classes, and my schedule worked out so that I have a free period everyday, so I only have 3 classes a day. Yay for me! And one of the free periods works so that I'll have it last every other day of every other week, so I'll get to leave early on those days. More yay for me.

Oh man, in July I went to the Manson/Slayer concert in Maryland. SO AMAZING! My mom went with me, and we met up with her boyfriend and his son there. We were in the pit, really close to the front at the right side of the stage. Slayer was so loud and heavy, and with the fucking gigantic speakers being right there, I actually thought I was gonna pass out a few times, which I've actually never had happen. And my right ear was ringing for three days.
Then in August (I think it was August) I went to a Rise Against concert with some people. They're so good live. If you have a chance to see 'em live, take it. The lead singer is a real crowd pleaser, and makes sure to walk the length of the stage and get right there with the crowd and makes eye contact with everyone he can in the front row. Plus they're music's pretty amazing.

And I think that's all I really have to write about right now.

And yes, I do realize how disjointed the paragraphs of this post are.....

Has it really been that long since I was on here? ...... I guess so. I got back from Ocean City, MD today. Went up there last saturday with sami, my mom, aunt patricia, uncle billy, cousin james and his friend connor. It was amazing. I got pretty sunburned on Sunday or Monday, but it's just really tan now... and looks kinda funny cuz I dont burn evenly. It's hard to explain so I'm not gonna try but yea. Me and Sami didn't go in the ocean all that much cuz it was ridiculously cold, but we were at the beach pretty much every day. I love being with that part of my family. I used to practically live with 'em when I was younger cuz my mom worked and I was too young to be home alone.... and lived in a really sketcy neigborhood & me and James went to school together. But yea then they moved like a half hour away from us and James goes to a different school. So it's really nice to have a week at the beach with them. And James' friends are always hilarious. Especially Connor. We'd stay up late watching TV, and during commercial breaks he'd go into the kitchen and find food (usually food) to throw off our balcony cuz we were on the 17th floor. The first night he threw an apple and it hit the roof of this black SUV. We could see all the "apple junk" on top of it. And then one afternoon when the adults were gone, he got a banana and threw it into the pool below us (it was actually the pool for the place next to us) while there were two or three kids swimming in it. Well one of the kids swam up to it and grabbed it..... then peeled and ate it. And Connor started yelling "THATS MY BANANA!".... but they didn't actually hear him... I dont think.
Oh and then on Monday night (I think it was Monday night...) the four of us went down to the beach around 10 and Connor was sitting in the lifeguard chair and he threw our room key at James.... And it wasn't on a keychain so we couldn't find it. And he starts talking in a british accent saying "Ok this is the perimeter. No one step inside my perimeter until I've searched the whole thing" And just kept going on and on. Me and Sami almost pissed ourselves. And last night we stayed up til 3 AM to watch the Jackass movie on Comedy Central.

AAAAAAAAAnnnnnddddd yea. That was pretty much my last week.

Other than that... since last time I posted.... I finished Drivers Ed. Now I just hafta do the in-car shit and I can go get my liscense..... 6 months after I legally could but whatever. As long as I can drive myself to school next year I'm happy.

And yea so now I'm gonna be bored as shit cuz Sami's busy this weekend, then going back to Ocean City with her family for the 4th of July, Alex is out of town for a long ass time, I haven't talked to Tom in ages, Scott's got work, and Tina's got work too. Damn, I really need to find something to keep busy. Maybe I'll try and lose some of the weight I gained from eating so much junk food and crap in Ocean City..... maybe

Wow. It's been over a week and there hasn't been a single day where I haven't gone out and done something. Pretty cool man, pretty cool.
But yea.... Last tuesday I went to see Mr Brooks, Wednesday me and Alex went to Sami's then to dinner at Cheeburger Cheeburger (No, I didn't screw up and type that twice.... it's the actual name of this restraunt), Thursday I went to work then Tom picked me up and we went to the mall, Friday Sami came over and we went to the mall with Alex, then to the movies, Saturday Sami stayed til like 6 and we went to Bethesda so me and my mom could get new phones. I got an Envy. Go me. I love it. So much nicer than my last one.... which started rattling whenever I moved it like there was something inside of it... and the front screen was effed up. And then we went to dinner at the Mongolian Barbeque. I love that place. And then after Sami left me and Tom went to the movies and saw Surf's Up, which wasn't very good. The only really funny parts are the ones that are in the commercials. Good kids movie.... but thats about it. Then today me and my mom went to Target then I just kinda sat around the house til like 8 when Alex came ove rand we went down the street for ice cream cuz he was that bored.

UGH tomorow I start Drivers Ed.... it's from 3-6 every day cuz thats the only time mom can get me there cuz she still has to work. And then at 7 I'm babysitting for my neighbors.... And I'm hoping the kids go to bed early-ish cuz the 2nd episode of Hells Kitchen is on at 9. And I missed the first one....

And as a closing note.... All of you should go visit Sami cuz she just got an account on here. Her username's imxaxtard and you can go read the post she put up today and read about our trip to the movies on friday and a little bit more about the Siri issue.... which if you remember is what fuele dmy I hate girls rant.... So yea. Go visit/friend her and all that good stuff

School's finally over. Actually its been over for a few days now.... but its finally sinking in. So yea, I'm over the whole I hate girls phase... But I seriously doubt that I'll ever talk to Siri again. Ah well. Theres not much I can do about that.
So Monday night Me & Tina went to the Fall Out Boy and +44 concert. It was alright. While standing in line to get in before doors opened, it rained.... really really fucking hard. We were completely soaked for the whole damn concert (5 hours) and therefore freezing cold. And the bands could've been a lot better.... And we could've been a lot closer. Cuz at first we were in the pavillion, but really far back. But then before Paul Wall came on, we decided to go walk around and try and dry off a bit... but we didn't think to ask the people next to us to save our seats or something, so we were stuck on the lawn for the rest of the show. But it was fun to laugh at the drunk people (and the sober people too) trying to get through the mud...

I saw Mr. Brooks yesterday with Tom. Amazing movie. It's complicated, but it makes sense until the last scene which just totally blows your mind.

I thought there was more to talk about.... but I guess I was wrong

Mood: Apathetic
Yea, thats a joke from something I found online. I might explain later...

So here I have come to post about Why I hate Girls......

1) They're bitchy
2) They're sneaky
3) They don't appreciate anything you do for them
4) They're overdramatic
5) Closet whores
6) Outright whores
7) Boyfriend stealers
8) They stab you in the back
9) They play the victim wayyyyy too much
10) They like to pretend that they're more mature than they are
11) FUCKCUNTPISSMOTHERFUCKERWHALEVAGINAIHATEGIRLS
12) They're never as funny as guys
13) They lie
14) They'll talk behind your back after telling you how much you're a bitch for making 1 comment about them to another friend
15) They're airheads
16) They can't admit when they're ugly as fuck
17) Did I mention that they lie? Yea, but its worth saying again.
18) They're manipulative
19) Guys have way more pity for them than they deserve
20) They like to pretend they're stronger than they are
21) Girls who don't know how to match their clothes are the worst.
22) Please disregard statement 11... It was an angry outburst. And Please expect more
23) They think they're special
24) They're really not special
25) They're fucking stupid when it comes to relationships
26) FUCKSHITDAMNCLUSTERFUCKCUNTPENISCOCKAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
27) I told you to expect more
(I'm stopping at 27 cuz Tina says that 27 is an angry number)

So yea. There is a point to this. Long story short (really short). We (Me Sami Tina & Tom) don't talk to Siri anymore cuz of a sort of ongoing argument and such. But right so Siri's really been playing the victim in all of this which is what got me angry. And then she took us off her facebook friends list (oh ow, that hurt so bad.... not) and posted these 2 notes that essentially said we were terrible friends and we weren't loyal and betrayed her and that now she knows who her real friends are.... WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! Dude, we were there for her in her lowest of lows. When her mom died, when her relationships failed, when she came out, when her dad would be an asshole, when she was thinking of killing herself.... the list goes on and on. Ok, I understand that we're not gonna be friends anymore. And I understand that she's gonna be mad at us. But what I don't understand is why she had to go and completely disregard everything we've been through. All the times we picked her up. All the times she lived here cuz she couldn't stand her family. All the times I left what I was doing to either talk to her on the phone or go chill with her at her grandparents cuz she was bored. It's just so fucked up. I can't get over what a bitch move that was. She HAS to recognize how tight we all were at one point. Yes, we drifted apart. But thats what it was. We drifted apart. It's not like she found out that the entire time we'd been friends we'd been going behind her back or some shit like that. It's a disagreement that turned really really ugly. Argh. Anger and frustration and confusion.

...I didn't realize I hadn't posted on here in that long. I also don't remember writing that last post. But I do remember being beyond happy about the finishing of the extended essay...

So as of right now I'm taking a break from studying for AP biology. For anyone else out there who's taking the exam tomorow... May Darwin be with you...... <-- cheesy joke my teacher wrote on our review packet-like thing

But yea, yesterday me, Tom and Sami and my mom went to the DC 101 Chili cookoff in DC. It was AMAZING. We missed the first two bands (Minus One and Silver Sun Pickups) but we saw The Bravery, Buckcherry, Jet (they sucked), Breaking Bejamin and Three Days Grace. Words cannot describe how amazing it was. During Buckcherry we were smashed up against the gate so we could see the entire stage and it was awesome, but the crowd surfers kept coming our way and we were getting pretty beat up, so me and sami had the staff dude pick us up over the gate (Tom just jumped it) and we walked around and got food. Then for Jet we just kinda chilled in the back of the crowd watching the old drunk people 'dance'. It was hilarious. For Breaking Benjamin this guy in front of me asked if I could see, and I said that no, I couldn't, so he let me get in front of him, right up against the gate again so I could see everything. But this time I was surrounded by a bunch of really tall buff guys, and I'm pretty short, so no crowd surfer problems. Breaking Benjamin was so good. The singers voice is just insane. And Three Days Grace was just as great. AAAHHHH It was so fun.

But yea, I gotta get back to the AP bio exam studying. It's gonna be hard, but my teacher is amazing and has a 100% pass rate, so I'm pretty confident in how I'll do.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
^ The IB scream. The IB coordinator at my school has this picture on his door of a kid clutching his hair and screaming with the words "The IB Scream" written below it. I now know exactly how that poor kid feels, and I'm pretty sure that that picture was inspired by the Extended Essay. If you don't know what an IB program/class is, it's short for International Bacceloureate (I most definately butchered that word like none other) which still doesn't really tell you anything. But yea, it's this 'smart people who think they can do 10x more work than everyone else and retain their sanity' program at some schools and is composed of a bunch of college level courses and you hafta write a bunch of papers and stuff and send them out to like Whales or something for 'external assessments' so you can get the IB diploma.

Well, I'm not actually in the program (I'm a non-diploma candidate as my lit teacher says), but I'm taking IB literature basically cuz I can and cuz my lit grades are usually really good. But right, so in IB lit there's this 4000 word essay you hafta write called the extended essay. You choose a subject area and then formulate a research question about it. My subject area is English A1 which is an analysis of a book or a comparison of poems or some sort of analysis of some sort of literature. And then my research question is 'Does Elizabeth Wurtzel successfully portray the illness of depression and what someone suffering from depression feels in her memoir PROZAC NATION?' Yea... And as of now I only have about 1500 words written and I need all 4000 by Tuesday. I'm going to die. Cuz then tomorow I have a Biology lab to get done (due monday) and I have to go to a Presbyterian Church service for a religion project, due Wednesday.
Yes, the IB Scream is very appropriate right now.

But on a happier note. I saw Disturbia last night. Absolutely amazing. I thought it was gonna just be OK, but I really liked it. And next Friday I'm going to the MCR/Muse concert after school. And then the next day I'm going to an Open House at Mount Saint Mary's college in Maryland. Woot. I'm so excited to see Muse, and supposedly Rise Against is playing with them too, and I REALLY wanna see them. Yay.

AND, Marilyn Manson's album Eat Me Drink Me comes out on June 5!!! Which is the day after I'll be 100% DONE with my junior year of high school, and the day I'm going to see Fall Out Boy and +44. I can't wait. Oh and Marilyn Manson now has a myspace and it has a song from Eat Me Drink Me on it, but I can't listen to it cuz my speakers aren't working right now for whatever reason....

Summer's almost here. I'm so happy. Junior year has definately been the most fucked up year ever. Well atleast when it comes to friends. And it feels like it's just gonna keep deteriorating, but I've become really apathetic about who I keep or lose contact with. I really just wanna get out of high school and all the unneccessary drama that comes with it. Plus my senior year is gonna be a shitload easier than this year academically speaking. I'll have 2 study halls while I didnt' have any this year, and I won't have AP Bio everyday... And I won't hafta deal with Mr Jay.

But yea, I'm gonna go try and get some more written on the Extended Essay.... Cuz even though I don't technically need to do it cuz I dont' hafta send it out to get an IB diploma, it's for a grade in the lit class and I'm asking my teacher to write me college reccomendations... So I might wanna do a good job on the biggest assignment of the year. Don't you agree?

Um so yea.
High School sucks.
Mainly cuz of unnecesary drama.
But also cuz of classes that are consuming my life.
And the fact that there's something like 24 days of class til the AP bio exam.
And people over react
And have way too many issues for me to even begin to fathom.
Oh, and I still hate people
And could write about it for hours on end.

But I'm still here. And listening to some Marilyn Manson. And I actually did my homework. Before the day it's due! And it's before midnight.

And there's a lot of really good bands coming around here soon. Yay. I can't wait for Marilyn Manson's new album. And he's co-headlining a tour with Slayer starting in July. They don't have set dates or locations up yet...

Oh, and if anyone knows where I can get really good info about Elizabeth Wurtzel or her memoir Prozac Nation, please let me know. Leave a comment, message me, find me on myspace, IM me... something. I have a 4000 word essay to write on Prozac Nation, and I've hit a brick wall... I was supposed to turn in 2500 words of it last class.... I only have 1600... Desperation at its best.

And everyone with a myspace should go find Madison Apart and add them, cuz they're absolutely amazing. And really funny people.
Yea I think I'm done here for now

Shit, I didn't realize it'd been that long since I actually posted....

Yea, a lot has happened, but the majority of it has no real significance right now.

Went to battle of the bands at the 9:30 club a couple weeks ago. That was really cool. If anyone has a myspace, go look up Madison Apart and Flash Grenade. Two amazing bands. Yea...

Holy Shit I HATE school. I've never actually hated it til now... it was usually just annoyance or apathy.... But yea, between AP Bioligy and IB Lit and my AP Economics teacher, I'm going insane. As of right now I'm supposed to be writing the first 1500 out of 4000 words of my extended essay for lit which is due in its entirety sometime in May... I think. And I need to do more research on it and yea.... I think I'm just gonna BS a lot of it. And then my AP Econ. teacher was out all last week cuz he was in the hospital with a heart problem... and he decides that since we have so much time, he's gonna make this extra credit assignment thing mandatory and it's out of 100 points... Not Cool. Especially cuz I don't understand what we're supposed to do....
And AP Bio's a really good class, it's just an extreme amount of work. Yea, that's right - Extreme. And our teacher made up a schedule of the rest of the year up to the AP exam. Kinda scary to think that we only have something like 36 days of class until the exam... There's just so much we hafta know for it.... INSANITY

But yea, I really hafta get to that essay, so maybe I'll post in the near future...
