   Peter Pan -the Mariner Drama Experience
well, last night was the first production night for my school's drama club performance of Peter Pan. it was great, and the cast party was awesome. it was at Greg's house (he plays John) and there was tons of food and his band even played (theyre pretty good!). it was supposed to be until midnight, but a lot of ppl were still there when i left (which was midnight), so im guessing they stayed past then. today, we hav two shows. one at 2pm and one at 7pm (like last night's). theres gonna be a big barbeque in between shows for everyone involved. i made a few new friends too...

well, ive drawn a bit, but im not sure wen ill be able to submit. maybe not until next weekend, cause tmrrw is strike set. its all been so amazing and two weeks just flew by! i gotta go, its almost time for me to leave (i gotta get there around 12:30...) bye!

   busy week....really busy week...
ok, so i got back on Sunday morning. the trip up was ok, but we were all depressed because it was all cloudy. but the sun finally came out in Tennissee^^ i drew.... enough, i guess... until i erased on a bug, so its guts smeared on to my paper in a PERMANENT brown streak on my paper...

the ride back up was the worst travelling experience ive ever had. adding to that is the fact that my dad got us all sick (by "us all" i mean my mom and me...) the day before we left and we came home at 2am to the awful feeling of disorientation in our own home -_-;. first off, i was restless, couldnt sleep and felt exhausted and drowsy like i hadnt slept in days, but i couldnt get to sleep at all. and my stomach was being tempermental. after breakfast, it burned. that hot, acidic burn feeling that i hate so much. i then felt uneasy at the mention of food. at lunch, it was a little worse. there wasnt much of the burning, but i felt carsick and got queasy whenever food was mentioned. then we got stuck in traffic for an hour. i kept having to loosen my seat belt because my stomach would feel constricted and sick.

ill just come out and say it. my dog Jazz is going downhill. when we got her back Sunday morning, her hind legs would wobble and sway and she'd just sink to a sit in the middle of walking. she can hardly go up or down the two steps to go outside. im really worryed. her condition just seemed to deteriorate. i think i know why, though.

its almost 10:30pm, so i gotta go, like, right now, but theres somethin i gotta say first. i wont be able to post any art up for a couple weeks, and probably not update, either. im on the crew of Mariner Drama's upcoming Peter Pan production. (Mariner Drama is the name of my school's drama club) so i hav that every day this week and next on top of hw and dance class (3 hours) every Tuesday. im really beat, so ill update wen i can. bye! *crickets chirping* it seems as though im talking to myself... oh well, no surprise, i guess...

   Spring Break, Florida, and Red-Spotted Hornwhoozels
heh heh...ya...about the heading... lol. our sketchbook assignment is to draw a red-spotted hornwhoozel (whatever the hell that is...i wanna ask him how he came up with this, but im a little afraid to find out...my art teacher is a freak disguised as a normal person o0;;) and where it lives. then today, he said that we had to write a paragraph explaining it! i was just like 00; ok, get this: tmrrw is the last day for students before spring break. it snowed today. it snowed! ...and snowed ...and snowed. right before spring break!!! sure, ill be someplace warm, but i feel for my friends who arent going anywhere.

~*a bit of a ramble, so skip this if you want*~
anyway, i never really got around to telling anyone on here what happened in third hour last week (Friday...?) well, these women came in from a hair studio in a nearby city (i mean real close! the high school there is in the same district as mine, but our high schools hate each other) but anyway, the speaker-woman-person who owns the place was all interested with my hair and how incredibly thick it was. they needed volunteers to get their hair done and i had no intention of doing it, but she really wanted me to, so i just did it anyway. my hair was thinned out and textured and straitened. and it was awesome! it was like a dream come true cuz my hair sucks. its wavy, stubborn, frizzes easily and all that, and all i could ever do with it was pull it up into a ponytail.
~*ok, all done! ^^*~

well, enough about my hair. i bet none of you really care anyway, so that was a waste of time (sorry to those who read it!) anyway, i was up till 11 last night building a 3-D model of a plant cell. exciting, huh? well, i got everything on the rubric, so i should do pretty well. as for execution of theme (long story as to what that means, but we had to pick a theme to base our models on...) im not sure. she seemed really impressed and interested by it, so i guess i cant to too bad. my theme was Topography. ill draw you a picture of whatever you want if you can tell me what that is. none of my friends knew right away. we learned about it in 6th grade, so they had to think a bit. the only reason i remembered is cuz we did a 3-D topographical model of Hawaii in that class and it was sitting on the stereo bench.

ok, whatever. it took me about 2 hours, but im finally pack for my trip to Fl!! i hadnt even started packing until 3:30 today and we leave tmrrw. am i a slacker, or what? lol^^ well, ill miss you guys and hopefully ill be able to draw a lot while im gone! as for that request offer for the topography thing, ill hav to take that up when i get back. im so excited!!! im gonna miss all my friends!

well, this is goodbye for a while. im off to spend the last of my evening playing video games on my PS2, since ill be at my grandparents' place. and who ever heard of spring break without video games!?!?!?! but at least ill have my GBA and KH:COM with me^^ goodbye all!

so much for spring...
well, Jazz started whining at me way too early today. when i finally managed to pry my eyes open a crack, it wasnt even 6:30, it was 6:15 or so. i went back to sleep, but i was late waking up. i fed her at 7:30 instead of 7 like i did all week (wen i half-sleep, im a good judge of time, but wen i full-out sleep, or am awake, i cant judge time for the life of me...) but anyway, when i opened the curtains of the doorwall, i was greeted with the lovely sight of gracefully falling snow and the bright fluffy of my backyard covered in already accumulated snow (about and inch...already!) -_-;;

more pressing matters are that in the time i spent drifting in and out of dreamland, i dreamt Jordan came back... again. it isnt impacting me as much as it did before, but paired with the snow, this day really isnt starting off all that well. it had been sunny and warm (well... sorta... in the 40s and 50s... enough to where you dont need a heavy winter jacket) and then BOOM! snow! -_-;

i gotta go, the bus wont be here for another half hour, but Mom's bothering me about breakfast and the fact that i havnt had any yet... well, at least yesterday was fun! ill update later and you'll all see what i mean...^^

......no hw....! heh.....aw, it just doesnt work anymore...
it doesnt work anymore, now that theres nothing distracting me from my thoughts! please! i NEED distractions!!! happy, naive, blissful distractions!!!

ok, so i really dont hav any hw today, but it just doesnt raise my spirits like it used to. well, actually, it sorta did, but it only lasted a short while. even this morning's bright sunlight illuminating my east-facing room didnt make me happy and looking forward to the day ahead, like it ALWAYS does.

i think i know why its like this today. why im not as happy as i should be or even would be had it been under normal circumstances.

here's my theory:
this week has been full of distractions from the troubles of last week. on Sat, i went to see Robots, after which, i went over to Jackie's where Tyler, Erilee, and Alex were already there. we made the most random and hilarious movie ever! than, Mon kicked off real well wen i got up an hour early, leaving two hours of free time before the bus came. Tues, i had dance class that was a lot of fun. then today....

well, Jazz woke me up at 6:30am to feed her breakfast. i certainly wasnt about to get up, so i closed my door and slept the best i could for another half hour before finally getting up. i just went back to sleep for another 45 minutes before getting up again for good. it was then that i realized something about my weird and completely random dreams that i had. last night... i dreamt that Jordan came back... it made me so sad wen i thought about it! part of me was in shock, even I didnt know that it was bothering me so much still! another part just wanted to huddle in a corner and think, or cry, or....something... it was all just so difficult... every new day starts with denial. i never remember that he's not going to be around for a while until it just randomly pops up...

its really painful... i guess thats also one of the reasons i havnt drawn hardly anything for...weeks... before it was that i didnt hav time, but now... and also a reason (maybe... maybe not) why ive been really into writing recently. ive written a short little random thing when Nessa demanded imagination from me, and i also wrote a poem. the story is random and kinda dark, and the poem is a bit angsty...

lots of angsty Evanescence and depressing/angsty Linkin Park (mainly "My December", "Numb", "Somewhere I Belong", and "Easier To Run") ive tried listening to some Green Day, but it just doesnt feel right... im leaving for Florida next Thurs for spring break, maybe ill be able to hav some actual fun there.

   gonna be the best week ever! ....huh? oh yeah... SPRING!
yeah, so everything is just screaming SPRING! at me! i swear! the sounds, the smells, the sun, the MELTING SNOW, and everything that i think when i look outside! i cant wait! then, next week.... i leave for FL!!! ill just be gone for the duration of Spring Break (SPRING!!...lol), but ill be missing school on Thurs (they get Fri off, though, so its only one day that i miss) cuz thats our drivin' day^^ ill be back on Sunday (which means driving on Saturday, i do believe, but ill miss FMA and RK!! ;_;)

anyway, moving on to why this week is so great! well, theres this whole MEAP thing... which Freshmen dont take... and i dont fully understand it, except for the fact that those who take it come to school at the regular time, and those who dont get to come in TWO HOURS LATER! ^^ 2hrs and 15min, actually is when my bus comes!! well, that means that its not coming until 9:15! it usually blows by around 7, but thats when i got up this morning!

i think its a little after 7:30 right now.... (not to sure... dont hav a watch, no clock in this room, and the one on the comp is slow... not sure how slow, though). this, of course, screws with our schedule a bit, but only with the way they determined what classes to go to. since we're only 2 hours late, and not 3, we still hav time for one class before going to lunch and three more classes. so its a little reminiscent of a half-day, but we hav lunch and 4 classes. unfortunately for me, todays schedule doesnt let me skip out on swimming (not that i hate it that much anymore... i kinda like it now... Mr. Scarcelli says im really good, i just need some more confidence)... i dont feel like getting my hair wet... lol

oh, one last thing! a few weeks ago, i drew the cutest Iruka on my Bio folder while we were taking notes...hey, its not that i already know this stuff, cuz i dont, its just that, with the way she teaches it, i dont hav to pay attention to learn it... ya, i dont know if you'd call that good teaching, or just boring, but the material is just... easy. i do miss chemistry, though. at least Mr. Depa could keep my attention... when i wasnt zoned out or doodling... but i only did that during notes... i do it all the time in Mrs. Weins' biology class... anyway, ive got time, so im gonna scan and submit it! after that, im gonna sign off and play some video games until breakfast... ^___^

   rough week....
well, its about midnight right now... when i got home, i played KH:CoM for about an hour or two, then decided to take a nap for a while. it was a pretty tiring week. i got up a little after 5 to eat dinner, then went back to bed for more sleep. i just got up two hours ago...

well, first off, Sat i went to my little cousin's ice show (figure skating...its actually pretty cool, some of the stuff they did) and on Sun, we did a little family road trip, cuz the train show was being held at Macomb (the community college) and then we went to borders, where i bought a new manga with some of the money i got from shoveling our drive, walk, and patio...

i had a nasty bad throat the next couple of days that subsided into a nasty runny nose that runs by the gallon... which is why im grateful for my seat in art class... right by the tissue box, lol. everything went pretty smoothly, though. i managed to get all my hw done early, and had none at all on Wed, but Thurs was when things took a turn for the worst...

my friend Maddy has... err... problems... im not going to say anything about it... its kind of a personal thing... we shed a few tears in the media center, and headed to class together (our 1rst hours are across the hall from each other). then at lunch, more was piled onto my back, as well as the rest of the group. this resulted in serious talks and several group hugs... more tears were shed... it appears that Jordan might be going away for a while... due to family issues... foster care... Port Huron... details are sparse, so we know little about the situation and his whereabouts (he hasnt been to school since Tues). we're trying really hard to figure this whole thing out... im debating wether or not to attempt calling Jordan's cell phone... no one was on msn earlier, so i couldn discuss it with anyone... maybe tmrrw. one more issue is the fact that Jamie and Cassie knew, but kept it secret from us until...well, i dont know how, but someone found out... that really threw us off, cuz we all feel that we hav the right to know what is going on, and shouldnt hav been left in the dark like that... things are just sorta spiralling out of control for the whole group, but we're sticking together and helping each other up if one of us falls, so im pretty sure we'll be alright for the time being...

   FRIDAY!!!! ^____^
well, since we did weight training on wednesday, we swam today (we usually do weight training of Fri's, so we dont swim those days). that means i smell of chlorine and hav poofy, frizzy, annoying hair...-_-;

oh well^^ lets see...uneventful day today. i hav to go out and buy a new calculator, cuz the one my dad gave me is TOO scientific (ironic, isnt it?), too big, and too expensive for me to want to lug around (even for just one hour... i just know ill drop it and itll break). the one ive been using is only capable of practical math, so it doesnt hav the right functions on it to do what i need (sine, cosine, and tangent... anyone know SohCahToa?). im kinda surprised i made it this far with that little calc., though...

hhmm.... in Lit&Comp, we did a little introduction to Romeo and Juliet (which we'll be reading soon). in health, we did more boring stuff... we started some stuff on suicide (i kinda already hav some experience with it [not me! ppl i know. im not suicidal], so its nothing new...)

then came biology. we had a sub (woohoo!!! ^____^).had to watch a boring, gross movie about the microscopic world and all its organisms that live in and on our skin and enviornment. as i was walking out after class, i heard the sub say it was boring and a T.A. say it was disturbing, lol. art class...didnt finish the color-matching project, but half the class didnt even turn it in, anyway, so ill do it monday...

hhhmm...well, we've been taking a lot of notes in biology lately, so you know what that means!! ^^ thats right! ive got some new doodles on my folder^^ lol. i drew this rreeaally cute Iruka on the front^^ i left it at school, though, so i cant submit it, but i really want to!^^ hes just that cute^^ (he looks a tad bit younger than in the actual manga, though)

p.s. if anyone wants to read my short story, just let me know and ill email it to ya^^ i gotta warn ya, its really angsty, theres some character death, and for all you Naruto fans, i actually got the story idea from Itachi and Sasuke...(my antag. has the evil brotherness, yet he's an avenger... sort of...)

   short week and little hw!!!!
ok, so its been pretty cool the past few weeks^^ there was mid-winter break, then the pool was closed two days after we started cuz some kid vomited (one day for me cuz of....reasons...) and it was closed on Mon, too. Tues was a snow day!! its been YEARS since we last had a snow day (our school district is REALLY evil when it comes to snow days...) and Wed was a half day, cuz its the first Wed of the month (eh...dont ask...-_-;) and today was pretty fun^^

in art we're STILL painting....-_-; this week's project is color matching. itll take too long to explain, so im gonna skip it. ill just say that i screwed up on the background, heh heh ^^;

in Lit & Comp, Mrs. Sredich handed me this really bright flier. when i say bright...i mean BLINDING... well, anyway, its for short story submissions in the school's literary journal that they do every year. she wants me to submit the one i wrote for class. i told her that mine exceeds the max length, but she offered to help me edit it to fit^^

as for my other classes, Geometry has been uneventful, Biology is as boring and INCREDIBLY EASY as ever, and health is...well... kinda stupid. gym has been going great! ive never been so happy in a gym class since elementary school! Mr. Scarcelli is really nice and understanding (when it comes to pool issues...which i have...a lot of) and i know almost all of my classmates and im even being called by my last name (it shows respect, for those who dont know...)! ^^ gym class is the last place id expect to get that^^ Mr. Bladow (art teacher), Mr. Scarcelli, and a few of my classmates in gym call me by my last name (what really makes me proud is the fact that they call me that even though its kinda hard to say sometimes^^;)

well, i finished my hw on mon, so tues was hw free. on wed, i had no hw (4, 5, and 6 hr half day- biology, art and gym for me), but spent roughly 3 hours actually at home until nighttime. that was NOT how i planned to spend that day, but watever. today, i just had math hw (i hope, cuz thats all i brought home^^;) which i finsihed in about 10 min (most of it was already done...).

ill just be submitting some art now^^.....ick!! i smell like chlorine!!! -_-;; lol
