Attitude? ATTITUDE?!?! I'll show you attitude.....
Okay, so I had chemistry today and after my teacher called the roll (which I wasn't on - go figure), he asked if he hadn't called anyone. I put up my hand and gave him my name. "Why aren't you on the roll?" (as if it was somehow a choice of mine, made to make his life difficult) "I don't know. I've been here for two years and the system doesn't recognise me," I said. "Woah! Attitude..." he said. "No sir... just a statement of fact," I replied. "So why the attitude? (at this point I heard a few people say "he's a goth!") Does it solve anything?"
Frankly, I dont understand this... I seem to always fight my chemistry teachers (well, the two I've had are the two teachers I've "given attitude" to...
Anyway, I just feel tired. And insulted. We got an english sheet on punctuation. From a(get this!) sixth year book. And you know what it was?

Punctuate this sentence correctly:

dont go said sarah to her friend lisa

I'm sorry, but I thought worksheets on punctuation went out the window in primary school. But here I am, in the equal of Grade 10, getting sheets on how to punctuate a sentence. well thats not good i said

And thus I discover the true slipperiness of the slope of gothiness....
So yesterday I spent most of the day working on my stupid history project...and my parents wouldn't get off my case...every little thing I did they critised....so I went to bed feeling depressed from having a bad day that day and the day before....I don't really care about the fighting with my parents...so long as they leave drama alone... but then today I was late for school because the Luas was packed... and I got elbowed in the face on the luas...all this after waking at six to get some more work done on my project....then I twisted my leg on the way to school... I had music first and the teacher asked everyone what they listened to. So I said Slipknot, Korn, Disturbed, Evanessence, and Green Day. And the reactions I got couldn't have been more odd if I had sprouted a limb from my forehead....sigh... sometimes its funny...but at other times it really just gets on my nerves...so I heard plenty of anti-Evanessence comments all day including "why listen to them? They're girly! Listen to something better, like Girls Aloud!" (someone actually said this {not saying that Girls Aloud are in any way an inferior band, its just that if Evanessence is allegedly "girly", what are they?}) I am amazed by the logic I find sometimes....ah well.... I have drama to keep me sane...unless I'm driven insane (well, more so) by the girl I like... :) :( anyway, just a bad day....oh my god...I seem to always be complaining...damn...

100
Although I am pretty depressed at the moment...read my post below this one if you wanna know why... but I just thought I'd make a little post to say YAY! I just got my 100th visit on my site, so yay...

Okay, so maybe not rock bottom, but I can certainly see it from here....
Well, today was....a debacle. I was going to drama in Athlone, and I saw the girl I like when I was crossing the bridge. She and I started talking and she was like "oh, I have to go meet someone in four minutes" and I was like "Oh my god, that would sound so wrong in Dublin" ("meeting" is a slang term in dublin for making out) and she was like "yeah, but as I'm actually doing that, it isn't wrong" I was like "wait what?" but then she headed off...so I gave it no more thought. Later on I was talking to my friend, and someone else came up and was like "didn't she (the girl I like) break up with her last boyfriend" and my friend was like "yeah" and then the other girl said "she's holding hands with that guy out there!!" and I felt my heart drop through my stomach....so much for "taking a break from guys". She has a new boyfriend....and whats worse, she still thinks I think of her as just a friend, because we were all talking and Kestra mentioned that I'm always depressed. And the girl I like told me that I shouldnt let what people say get to me. And Kestra corrected her, that its my lousy opinion of myself that has me depressed. And the girl I like told me that if I feel that way again to call her and we can just talk... great... the thing I'm most depressed about I can't talk to her about... I feel like I'm living in a teen drama....the irish answer to the O.C. I really must be having an allergic reaction to the universe....Seth is so wise...

I'm Baaaaaaaack......
Okay, well, I'm back from Athlone. I had fun down there, rehearsing for the play. It was great. As for the other thing I had to take care of....sigh... I found out that the girl I like is taking time off from dating, and that breakups with her always end friendships. So I'm torn. I really care about her, but do I risk losing everything I have with her? Argh....I wish these things were simpler.... to quote Seth Cohen "I think I'm having an alergic reaction to the universe."

See you later...
Well, I'm off down to Athlone tomorrow for rehearsals. I'm gonna be there a few days, so I won't be posting until I get back. Not that anyone cares, but I might as well say it :). Anyway, I have to finish my history project when I get back (and by finish I mean start.... lets hope I can get it in)...
I'm really nervous about Athlone. I always get nervous about the rehearsals, plus there's something else I have to do down there....

COME ON!!!!!
Okay, I just saw Halloween 4. Sweet mother of master chief, it was bad. Sigh, it was so awful... I mean, formulaic beyond all belief. I don't even want to go into how awful it was (I might have had to resort to spoilers). It was like I had wedged a block of pure chedder into my DVD player. And just a few days ago, I watched Poltergeist. Okay, not scary! One of the "special effects" looked like something a school would do for a play. It actually appeared to be made out of paper mache, and seemed to swing back on some hinges after it "appeared". Why must these movies be so bad? The only thing I'm jealous of is that all the teenagers seem to go to some cool Halloween parties (....right... before...they get murdered... thats the downside...). I'm stuck home, doing absolutely nothing. Sigh....

YAY!!!!!
YAY!!! Its the midterm! So, I now have a week off. Hmm... Well, I'm spending time in Athlone, rehearsing for the play. I'm also going to be working on my two books. My goals are to get the next two chapters of my parody done, and to get at least the first chapter of my real book done, and a couple of scenes written.
So lets see, what news have I? Well, today I had an easy day, except for the last three classes, where I had a soccer coaching exam. But I think it went well. All I have for homework is my history paper, which should be easy enough.
And its now pretty much official in the school that I'm a goth. Lol. Well, if you cant beat 'em: I plan on wearing gothic clothes on the next free uniform day. I'm really looking forward to the shock factor from my peers (those who don't believe I am a goth) and my teachers (who see me as "the good one", the one who does his work always). This should be fun.

Okay....recap....
Okay, well I haven't posted for a few days. Lets see....what happened....?
Friday night was cool. The Wiz was great (Gospel, error? Gospel?!? I THINK NOT!!!) and I had a lot of fun, despite my stupid cold. Then Saturday was okay...I mean, I was late for rehearsals (grumble: stupid bus) but drama was fun. We had to do a story where we sang all the lines. I used the Amarillo song and the Canadian national anthem as the tunes. It was fun! Then the trip home was okay, except for someone who was obviously listening in on our conversation. Every time I looked up, she was staring at me or kestra or kiss my ass bunny.
Sunday was really lazy. I just spent the day feeling sick and sad and stuff. And today, I spent the day feeling even sicker, almost throwing up... another fun week ahead, methinks. Oh, and Doom is being made into a movie. Sorry, it IS a movie. Lets hope its marginally better than the first Resident Evil. Which was fun....but was similar to sticking your face into a grain-thresher because of all the "shocking" sequences with zombies. At least playing the game you get the feeling of doing something. Like shooting zombies when they act stupid. YAY!!! BLAM!!!! YAY!!! stupid zombies. On the plus side, Halo is being made into a movie. Now, whats the difference between this and Doom? Not much, its just that I have faith that two years from now (the release date for Halo), movie producers will have realised how to make video games into movies properly. Hopefully. Or its just the fact that I think seeing Master Chief on the big screen will be so amazingly cool....
In other news (I don't think I said this before), I gave Hunter: The Reckoning: Redeemer another chance. I think my mistake the first time was playing it with a guy who was technologicaly equal to a cinder block. I've beaten it (ok, so it wasn't too hard...) once, so now I can play through with all the other characters. Except Lord Blockius of the Cinder.

   I hate colds.....
Okay, so I was awake for three hours last night, just blowing my nose. I hate colds. They suck. Especially when you can't inhale properly...then its scary...
Normally, I could put up with a cold. But notice how it hits right before a play I will be going to with friends, and right before drama? C'mon!!!! Whoever is in charge of what viruses etc I get really doesn't like me. I only ever seem to get sick on weekends. In fact, last year I always got colds on Friday. They would hit just as I got home from school. I hate colds....
Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to get to the play tonight. Sigh... that should be fun...I hope...
