Time of Post: 6:40 PM CST Hello hello everyone! Ni hao ma? O genki desu ka? Ne ne ne ne ne... What was that? Oh never mind it. I'm going crazy. Just read below. (I'll try to make it as short as I can!) Monday/Yesterday Um um... You guys... I'm forgetting... *brain shuts off* I'm dead now. Forget that! Anyways... Well, when I got into Science, our Science teacher asked, "Can I ask you guys for a favor?" and Sahil blurted out, "What? Do you need help with your relationship?" The teacher said "No..." then faked-out and started fake crying saying, "I need your help, Dr. Sahil..." *laughs* "Then Dr. Sahil says, 'Come here and sit down...'" ^^;; Basically, we need to help him make pictures of all the labs we did this whole year... We don't have any, so we would have to make it. (In my head, I was thinking, "Is that fraud?") Oh yeah... The teacher said "How do plankton get their food?" Julio yelled your "Your mom!" Then the teacher said "No, my mom does not go out and cook a meal for every little plankton there." (Of course, the answer was "chlorophyll", hehe.) We had our Social Studies class in the Computer Lab, and I sat by Kinjal and Nicole! Well, I told Nicole that I couldn't get her a Naruto headband because my parents wouldn't let me go to Shiokaze-con... Well, I started to talk to Kinjal since Kinjal asked me how to do some stuff. And then Anna just popped up behind Kinjal's back and mouthed the words to me: "She likes you". Then she started to say "Hello, I like to brush my teeth a lot and curl my hair!" (That was...odd. o_O;;) Well, we had to categorize American battles into the database and then we had to choose one of the battles we categorized and do a PowerPoint on it... In Health, we practiced our routine again. It was so hot, and no one was really doing anything... Before we left to go outside, I went over to Vyonne's desk, and I looked through her yellow CD case of CDs... She said she likes electro (which I found is kinda like techno, only urban-kinda) and Indie music... Ooh, interesting. She likes music that isn't too "mainstream"... (Too bad the rest of her group didn't like the music she brought.) Well, we sat outside, and basically, we only listened to a bunch of music... I mean, not really. Shan and Aleesha were trying to record all the songs that we were gonna do for our routine, but the tape recording kept messing up. We got frustrated... Oh my gosh. There was one part. Here, I'll tell you. Aleesha and Shan were dancing in front of a glass window, like we always do... (And you can see the reflection, but there are also people who can see what we were doing...) So Shan and Aleesha were "popping it", and the girl's gym coach, Ms. Henderson, looked at them, and tried to copy it. (OH MY GOSH!!! Actually, I didn't see it this time, but Nikita saw it... o_O;;) We had to show our routines (one time to the boy's Health coach, and one time to the girl's Health coach), and we didn't do so good, I think. Then the girl's gym coach came over later, and the girls were "popping" it at the window again, so the teacher looked at the mirror, put her hands up and stretched them, and tried to do it, kinda. (All of us saw it, and we laughed and screamed. Andrew/Sai, who was right IN FRONT of her, screamed "Ahh... My eyes.") Well, when I was in that lunch line, there was some kid laughing and going, "Oh my gosh... A girl talked to me... *starts to breathe hard* I need my inhaler..." (He was imitating a nerd or something???) And then that gothic-guy with the long hair used a preppy voice and said "Like, could you do my homework?" (What's he insisting here?) I told him "no". And then he asked if he could cut me in line. (Oh well. I let him. But what's with the accents???) In Art, Melissa got a red stuffed bear with the Mexican flag on it! Its name is Osito, and it's from that TY toy market thing. (The one with its tag as the red heart?) Hehe, I used it, and talked Spanish through it. Melissa says when I talk in Spanish, my voice sounds weird. Noo, it's not that. It's because I use a high-pitched voice when I talk through stuffed animals...) Hehe, and all through that day, we kinda practiced talking Spanish at the beginning... Then for our watercolor project, we chose some pictures from magazines and tore them out... (I chose a picture of a beach with palm trees and deep blue water... So pretty...) For ELA, we got yelled by the teacher because we didn't finish our work on Friday...or even start on it, for that matter... So we kept reading "The Giver" on tape recording... Ms. Neuls (one of the counselors) came in to drop Jonathan off for some reason, and when he moved, she kicked him in the balls. (I don't think it was on purpose, she just popped her leg back, I think.) She said to the class, with large opened eyes, "You did not just see that." Then she kinda said softly, "I could lose my job doing that..." Hehe, poor Jonathan... He keeps getting kicked "in that area"... (It also happened last Friday, and he was crouched down, like, at the back part of the classroom, by the bookcase... ^^;;) Well, early in the morning, my parents had left to go to Palacios, a little small town by Houston... And by the time they came home, they still weren't home... It wasn't until 7-8 PM that they came home. And we had no more ink in the printer!!! GRR!!! So I asked my dad to drive me so he could buy more ink... My mom also wanted us to pick us some stuff... So we stopped by Wal-Mart. We bought some sandwich stuff and some salad. I also wanted to check to see if they had printer ink in Wal-Mart, so I went over to Electronics and such. I asked a person who worked there by the photo department, "Excuse me, but do you sell printer ink?" She said "Check in Electronics." "...But I am in Electronics." "I mean check behind you." OKAY, that was weird... Telling someone to go to Electronics when you were already in the Electronics department!!! Oh well. I checked. There was no printer ink. Well, I walked around, and in the make-up area, I saw Jackie! (The Vietnamese girl with highlights and is short and goes to my church.) Well, I waved "hi" to her, and her little brother, with a baby stroller, waved "hi" and got Jackie, and she saw me and we said "hi" and I walked off. (Her brother looks AWFULLY A LOT LIKE KHANG!!!) Well, we went to the check-out lane, and a woman behind me asked if I could hold her cart for her while she went to go get something. So she left... And time passed, and I kept pulling her cart up. XP Well, we payed out her stuff, and she still wasn't there, and there was a Filipino woman behind us, clearing her throat in that...mean way, and then the lady came back to her cart. She said "Thanks", and I said "You're welcome." Oh yeah! Jackie's mom and dad were in front of us in the line, and then Jackie came running back to the line when they had left... I told her "Your parents were just here and they already payed and left." She said "I know, I just went back to get something." (She had a movie, DVD, I think, in her hands, and she kept jumping around lanes... @_@) Well, guess what? While we were driving from Wal-Mart, and were on SH 6, my dad had a hard choice of choosing either going to Office Depot or Best Buy. We couldn't pass into the other lanes, so we had to go to Best Buy. (A car almost hit us, and blared its horn at us. o_O;;) But my dad said "Go to Home Depot" to buy printer ink. DUMB! YOU DON'T BUY ELECTRONICS FOR COMPUTERS AT HOME DEPOT!!! (I don't think he can tell the difference between "Home Depot" and "Office Depot". o_O;;) Well, wanna know something weird? I've been calling Highway 6 "Highway 8" all this time... WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! Well, at Best Buy, I asked a really tall guy who worked there where the printer ink is. (Ya know, when you stand by a tall person and talk to them, it feels WEIRD. o_O;; He even crouched down to talk to me... Not crouch, but bent his back to the right.) Well, it was hard choosing the printer cartridges, since SOMEONE *points to dad* threw away the boxes and old cartridges!!! Well, I had to use my dad's cell phone to call home and ask Ricky for the printer brand. Well, I finally did get it, and my dad was looking at computer screen monitors. (Wow, there were a ton of them which were really clear... o_O!) My dad says that mouses suck. He says that those rolling balls are the best. It's like a mouse, only, there's a ball, and you drag that ball to move it... Ugh, those aren't good. I think they're called "trackballs"... Well, the line was so long (not really), but the line was slow-moving because there was only one check-out line open... And when I was waiting, there was a guy working there, and I thought it was my Science teacher, Mr. Jacoby, only without glasses, and thicker eyebrows. (I was like "Oh my gosh! What's he doing here?" But I realized it wasn't him. He had a deeper voice, I think too. o_O;;) Well, when my dad and I went back into the car, my dad said that they charge you more if you don't have membership. But the woman that was working in the check-out place asked for "Reward Zone", not membership. I tried to explain to him that it was different, and he called me "stupid" and that I didn't understand anything. (Um, he's only been to this store, like, 2-3 times his entire life, and he's criticizing what I know about a store I've been to a lot??? GRR.) So I tried explaining it to him, and he didn't understand, so I said "Never mind", and he got angry and said that if I ever said "never mind" again, he would slap me... (He's so insensitive. He'll slap you even more if you cry.) Well, when I got home, and got in all the groceries, I ran up to the computer room and saw that one of the print cartridge boxes were gone!!! GRR! It was the black one! (How great... And I needed to print text.) I told my dad that one of them were missing, and he just got angry and started yelling at me about how I wasted $30-$40 of his money, and I asked for the car keys, and it was in the middle... o_O;; (It must've dropped when I tried to carry all the groceries with both my hands...) Well, I tried to put it into the printer, and GUESS WHAT?! THE PRINTER DECIDES TO MESS UP ON ME. It was kinda messed up when I turned it in, and when I put in the new cartridges, it just snapped off and SLAMMED ITSELF into the left side and kept on doing that!!! (GRR!!! Technology hates me!!!) So my mom kept yelling at me that I was doing it wrong, and my dad was yelling at me, saying I was doing it wrong, and my sister was pissed off by our nagging and yelling... (GRR, it took a lot of tries, but I got it fixed. NOW IT MAKES AN ANNOYING HUMMING NOISE WHEN I TURN IT ON...) I swear, technology hates me. Either that, or I have to make EVERYTHING perfect. I'm strange like that... I hope I don't have a disorder... o_O;; Tuesday/Today Well, in the morning, I got up and got ready for school, but I also tried to fix the printer... Didn't work. Annoying humming noise still going on. Technology hates me, I tell ya! Then I went downstairs and made a sandwich for breakfast... My mom was yelling about how we ALWAYS come down late to eat breakfast. -_-;; Well, in Science, we took fraud pictures!!! Yes yes, muahaha... We all pretended to do some labs from the earlier months of our class, and I told my teacher not to take a picture of a calendar that said "May" on his desk. XP Also, he couldn't take pictures of the same people over, since people are SUPPOSED to think it comes from throughout the year. How weird would it be that they saw us wear the EXACT same clothes each time we did a lab... ^^;; Well, we did a group photo, and when the teacher told Ashley to move closer to Ell.C., she just went "Ugh." He missed some people, so Jasmin and Taylor did a pose, and someone went "It's Charlie's Angels"! Julio said "I'm Charlie." ("Haha, yeah right." someone added.) Well, that was it. In Social Studies, we did more of our PowerPoint in class... Anna went on about her relationship... Wow, her boyfriend sounds abusive. Oh yeah. The Computer Lab teacher, Mrs. Cole, said "How do you set up this presentation?" (Or something like that.) Amit yelled out "Your mama!" (What the heck is it with these people and saying "your mama"?) Well, Chickamuaga is something the teacher couldn't spell... She spelled it..."Chickamoo--something"... ^^;; In Health, we practiced our dance routine in the gym hallway that no one seems to use. Well, we had to close the door since some of us kept going in and out... Well, we got some of the routine down... We broke up into groups and tried to help each other with freestyle and stuff, and I got paired with Mariah. We were practicing to "Lose My Breath", and she wanted me to do something like grabbing her heart, and her breathing, and stuff... It took me a while to get what she was saying, since other people around us was blaring their music out and practicing their routines... ^^;; But she said, "When you do it, try to look sexy." o_O;; But ugh, something weird happened. You see, while we were doing the dancing, we were breathing hard, and when she breathed hard out, I breathed hard in, and I think I swallowed some carbon dioxide or something... It wasn't bad breath or anything... (I was kind of dizzy for the rest of the time until the end of class... Not dizzy, but my throat felt like that.) Shan says that Erik and Andrew are getting on her nerves... (Poor them...) When Barbara was passing by, I saw a Naruto headband on her neck, and I asked if she went to Shiokaze-con. She did. (Aw, I should've gone!) Hehe. Ya know, I've noticed she's changed the way she's dressed... Or is it just me? o_O? Well, tomorrow, we have to dress alike. White shirts is all Shan could come up with... (She also wore her gym pants over her clothes so she wouldn't get her clothes dirty. o_O;;) In lunch, that gothic-guy was sitting by me, and he asked while I was eating "How come you sit like that? Are you afraid that he'll hit you or something?" (He was pointing to the guy on the left.) He thought I was timid or shy or something... I said to him "Do I really seem like that?" He nodded. But I told him we had structured lunch and I didn't sit with my friends. (Also, I didn't want to get food on my clothes!) But I didn't know I seemed like that. o_O;; Well, someone was throwing food into our table aisle... And Mark was asked to clean it up... So Mrs. Hopkins told him to get a broom, and he came back with a broom and dustpan and started sweeping up the food, and everyone around him just started laughing and teased him, and made it even worse by throwing more food into the aisle. (Those idiots... They act like it's funny to clean up stuff. o_O;; Even the nerdy short people were laughing...) I offered to help, but he wouldn't let me... Well, I had to fix my hair after lunch, and I took off my glasses since they were kinda hurting my eyes... Josue was in the bathroom, changing his shirt or something like that... (At first, I didn't know who was talking to me 'cause I couldn't see him... ^^;;) Well, in Art, I sat with Melissa and when she saw me, she said "You look...better without your glasses." (She kinda hesitated at the "..." to choose the right word for it... She almost said the word "hot" though... o_O;;) Paulisha came in later and we finally got blue and yellow paint! Yay! Well, I tried to take out the orange paint thing from the watercolor set and exchange it with another one, but I pushed hard on the back, and it flung the paint water onto my shirt, and now it has orange specks... Hehe, we were just practicing brush strokes and stuff, and Melissa and Paulisha were fake-fighting with each other saying "Shut up" or "You're ugly b!tch" and other stuff to each other... XP Hehe, it was funny... XP (I even added "I'm more prettier than you" in the conversation, and Melissa said "Yes you are!" ^^;;) Later, when the teacher was trying to teach how to do landscaping, Melissa and Josue were fighting with each other in Spanish, and Paulisha wanted to be in the conversation, so when they were speaking Spanish, and no one talked, Paulisha said "Something something." *laughs* In ELA, I was late because I was trying to fix my hair in the bathroom. (It's getting long now... ^^;;) Well, the teacher didn't care, and I had to get an extra chair since somehow my regular chair disappeared... o_O;;) We read a bunch of Anne Frank stories and stuff kinda related to the Holocaust and stuff... It was interesting, but I didn't finish all of it... Oh yeah! 8th Grade Day Away is almost here! Hooray! Hehe, we get to wear clothes out of dress code and stuff! Laura's thinking of buying some new stuff for the field trip... (I also learned that none of them have been to a field trip outside of the city and stayed in a hotel for a few days... o_O!) She brought up a weird thing... She said "If they were in those concentration camps, how did they use the restroom?" I told her that sometimes they had to "pee on themselves"... -_-;; Then she asked "What if a girl had her 'special time of the month'?" o_O;; (Weird question to ask...) Oh yeah. Laura got a free packet for those Hydraclear contacts. (It was like a test packet...) Ooh, they're so soft, but they feel like REALLY thin plastic... o_O;; (There was water in the packet, and it fell on Laura's pants, and she said "Oops, I peed on myself." o_O;;) Well, on the bus, Lance wanted me to sit with him. How odd... How come he isn't sitting with Terrence? And why isn't he sitting with me? Well, Jackie doesn't seem to like being friends with J.J. anymore... (Weird, eh?) But all he talks about is perverted stuff now... Ehh, J.J. kept SCREAMING out those perverted stuff, and Lance (I thought he was asleep) yelled "SHUT UP!" o_O;; Well, while J.J. and Michael were leaving, Alexis asked for a hug, but they wouldn't give it to her... So I sat in the seat in front of her and we hugged, except that she choked herself with the bus seat while we were hugging... o_O;; When we left, she wanted another hug. XP Lance also asked how come Andrew doesn't stop at his old stop. I told him that he moved. Well, when I came home, I wanted to eat, and my mom was yelling at my sister, eating her how to wash salad, and how she was listening to the news and how 5 people died from eating bagged salad containing E. Coli. (So she told us to put salt in it and wash it all out...) (She spelled E. Coli wrong. She spelled it: Alkaline or something like that. o_O;;) Well, when I got on the computer, I've been getting stressed about that printer and stuff. But I'm gonna try to forget about it!!! I mean, it's perfect, but it just makes a weird noise... (I swear, I want everything to be perfect that I kill myself... o_O;;) And I swear, the printer wants to eat my fingers. o_O (You know there are moving parts in a printer... And they move around, and I try to stick my finger in there... The bad thing is, sometimes you have to fix it while it's on, and that's not safe... GRR.) Well, I talked to Alaina and Chi and Trangie, and oh yeah! I also talked to Nene, who I haven't talked to in such a long time... ^^ Well, see you guys later. Bye!
