swear to shake it up

Hello again my darlings. I have to run off to work soon, so I'm trying to type as fast as I can... Today was boring... I got a new speech assignment and I might need your help. You see, we have to pick a poem, song, or piece of art that we have to then lead a discussion on. I've decided to choose a song. Now, it seems easy enough, but the song has to be about a debateable topic [like abortion, love [evidentially], war, etc.]. I had a few ideas in mind, but they really weren't what I wanted. I'm also slightly concerned about the whole "school appropriate" issue, but the teacher said that as long as it wasn't just a string of obscenities a few questionable words were ok. So here's where you come in. What song should I pick? The majority of you know my tastes, so that's what you have to go off of... Thanks in advance, my pumpkins. :D In other news, Sprokets. Graham sent me one of the skits last night and I laughed quite heartily. "This is the time in Sprokets when we dance." Yeah, that just can't get old. XD Ok, well, I think I should go make sure my work clothes are clean... eh heh heh. `krissy

how can they keep saying we're all fucked up kids...?

Homecoming is over, finally. I'm still exhausted though. Here's a quick run-down of the weekend: Friday: No classes, just the day-long pep rally. Seniors won, naturally [by default, I say]. Watched the parade and then went home to get ready for the football game. We won that too, and then I had to play PowderPuff football right afterwards. We sort of lost, but only because the Juniors are cheating bitches. [I really don't want to mention that we DID have three guys playing on our team though...Two of which were wearing booty shorts. Good lord, I wish I had gotten a picture, since it was hilarious "AND THESE ARE EXTRA LARGES" [thank you, Corbin]] Saturday: Woke up too early and went to my little sister's cross country meet. She didn't do as well as she had wanted to, but she finished better than I would have. XD After that, I went home, took another shower because it was freaking hot. Around 7:00 I picked up my friends and we went to Culvers to eat. However, we decided it was too busy to eat there, so we went to the Subway in Wal-Mart. Jeff [I know I've mentioned him before] wondered why we decided to eat there. We just laughed. After eating, we went out to Graham's house and I got made fun of for liking Panic!. I guess his sister is the only sane one in that house, since she sided with me, saying that they were pretty freaking sweet. AFTER THAT, we went to the dance for a bit, then left soon afterwards, since it had gotten a little boring. We went back to Wal-Mart and got some snacks then went to Whitney's house to eat and watch anime. It was a good time. Today is turning out ok, went to my grandmother's to eat and soon I'll be going to a surprise birthday party. Wheeeeee~ Anyway, I guess that'll do for now, so I'll see you all around, mmkay? `krissy

at least the ceiling's very pretty

As if I were laying on my back. I'm not. Soooo.... Friday draws nearer, and on that day, I will face my school, a dear friend at my side, and we will try to entertain. We were aiming to make fun of everything we could, and in the end... all we do is sing the Pokemon theme song. Do we stand a chance for victory?! No. We don't. We never wanted to win in the first place. We just wanted to break the monotony of singing. With...howls of dogs. So, it's game day on Friday [homecoming, remember?]. I've been so stressed out lately that I've forgotten to do a lot of my homework. That's no good, is it? Oh well, I'll catch up someday. [by the by, I'm gonna start some sort of semi-epic drawing project. This should be interesting. I hope I don't decide to scrap it halfway through...] `krissy

hey man, look at me rockin' out

I'm sorry I dissapeared for so long...Last weekend's parades were very blah...the typical. The crowd loved us, we placed decently. However, we believe that we were given a slap in the face when we placed last at Oktoberfest. We sounded, according to everyone, amazing, and we looked good too... I guess the fact that the judges can't decide if they want routines or not put us in a tricky spot. oh well. Homecoming started today. Old West Day was today, tomorrow is Horror/Thriller. I have no idea what to wear... I thought about just going as myself, since I am pretty frightening. Wednesday is Princess/Fantasy, Thursday is Comedy, and Friday is school colors day... gah, I still need to make some t-shirts for Friday. What joy. What else to report... not much really. I picked up on a band called Rammstein... they're good, except I need to have a German translator next to me when I listen to them... eh.... oh goodness I have lots of stuff I could be working on right now but I don't feel like doing jack shit. Maybe I'll go play some video games... `krissy [ho snap, news flash... I was JUST informed that when I take my trip to London...we'll also be spending a day in Paris. Hooo boy. My day just got 1,000,000,000,000x better.]

a simple question, kid: are you with me or not at all?

Well this day went from OK to shitastic to decent all within three hours. School went fine, it was dull, as it usually is, but I got asked to play in the Powderpuff football game after the homecoming game next Friday and I had a good laugh during speech class when one of my friends tried to interpret my dirty Spanglish to make it sound clean. She translated chain-smoking, pill-popping, meth-snorting alcoholic to be a person with severe nasal congestion with a strong affinity for milk. Then, afterschool, on the way to my little sister's cross-county meet, our van died. So...we have no car. I'm stuck at home on a Friday night for the first time in a long while. It's weird, but in the long run, probably good for me. I don't need to be running around with all of the drunken Oktoberfest-ers about. Did I mention I live near one of the only places in the US that hosts an Oktoberfest? It's not that great. At least one person drowns in the river each year...you think they'd learn a lesson... But on to what made my day a little happier... I got my passport in the mail. I wondered what the little cardboard box was at first, but then I opened it and I couldn't help but smile. I can totally leave the country legally now. For now... I'm gonna (literally) run to the store and get some chips or something... my parents and sister are gone and I'm all alooone. T_T `krissy

when the sun came up, we were sleeping in

Sooooo Matt finally got around to giving me The Office so I could understand the hilarious nature of that kooky show. And kooky is probably the best way to describe it. That or awkward. That's a good one. What else happened today? I got my dress for homecoming, which is next week. Goodness, that snuck up on me fast. I'll make sure I take pictures of my posse's night so you can see how goofy we act in our friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart. Which really isn't in my neighborhood. It's in the next town over, technically. And, when I even allude to "over there" I think "in the lake". XD Oh golly I have a physics test tomorrow and I SHOULD study but I'll do it tomorrow morning. Since that's when I do all of my homework ANYWAY. :D Oh la. And FYI, I swtiched my speech topic BACK to The Dresden Dolls. I realized I didn't have the time to do two days of research over again. So I switched back. I guess my speech teacher hates me now. Oh well. :D Parades all over the place this weekend... but no football game to play for. Even still...these two parades [Oktoberfest and Warren's]...well...they're pretty rough. Our mascot got attacked a few years back at Oktoberfest... that was surreal. But hey, the attackers were drunk. What did you expect? It WAS Oktoberfest... :shrugs: Well, I'm going to finish watching The Office and then maybe look at the equations for physics. Wish me luck on that one... I'm gonna need it. `krissy

what did it ever do for me?

So today. Today. gah. I don't know. We had a presentation of sorts today. It was about drunk driving, and the conseqences of it, and I was expecting it to be the same old talk they always gave in every other health/DARE/whatever program the school set up for us. This time, however, it was one of those demonstrations where they have a mock accident and actors and whatnot. What made it even more creepy was the fact that the actors were really some of my classmates. The entire time I kept thinking 'What if we seriously lost a classmate to a situation like that?' and that evolved to 'What if anyone I knew died?' I don't think I could handle it, because I could barely keep it together during all of that. [and then we went back inside and had a guest speaker who had been in a car accident where she lost three of her best friends...well...I can't stand to really even think about it.] All I can say is that I hope I don't lose anyone that way. It would tear me apart.

i know you want to jump around, but try to contain yourself

I'm getting frustrated. Last night was a dissapointment and there were things I wish I had said but... maybe in the long run it's better that I didn't. Someday I'll look back and think 'what a freaking pansy I was' and 'I really should have followed through' but for now I'll suffer in silence and then leave this place with bitter memories. Since that's what I'm good at. But on to other news, or the lack thereof. I went over to Ginny's house last night, and since she had the VMA's on TiVo, I got to see Brenny sing again, and I felt better. He still looked so dapper. Maybe I should go do something else other than wasting my time on the internet. It may be magical, but it's highly addicting and I have an addict's personality. I'm doomed. `krissy

I sat with you drink for drink

I feel like I should have done some homework, but you know what? I don't care. Right now... I want some cheese curds. But that isn't important. A lot of things aren't important. Like emotions. They're actually pretty useless. Which is unfortunate, because up until recently, I thought the were pretty useful things. Oh well. Life doesn't go the way we want it to all the time and I'm ok with that, I just wish I could get a little forewarning. But that might take all the fun out of it, huh? [in case you're curious about what I do when I'm not here, I made my myspace match this page. It's rather sad, how much time I have to waste. Maybe I should have done something like...cleaning. Or baking, which, since I am a girl, I'm supposed to be good at.] That isn't true, not by a long shot. Anyone here ever seen The Office? I'm getting a friend to lend season one to me, and I just hope I'm not gonna be dissapointed. From what he says, I won't be...but...it's Matt. You can't trust that homie. XD No, I can. Oh, look at that. I'm in a better mood already. I went from dissapointed to reminicent all in one blog posting. Ah, the magic of the internet. `krissy

heaven is full of habitual liars

but I wouldn't know for sure. Well. Evidentially there were try-outs for the local version of High School Musical at my school today. According to the story, 11 other schools would be coming to try out, but I avoided it like the plauge. It makes me sad to think that people actually WANT to be in that production... but the thing is, I'll probably go to see it, since quite a few friends of mine will be in it. I need to support my friends, for sure. Sorry this is insanely short and pointless, I'm gonna go hit up facebook and myspace and head to bed a little early. But tomorrow is FRIDAY! HOORAAAAAYS! `krissy
