   bleh
i feel like crap, and that is no understatement. seriously. i had to leave school during fifth period cuz i felt like i was gonna puke. this is the first time ever i've had to go home b/c of being sick. i come to school sick a lot, b/c i dont have time to make stuff up when i miss it, but i decided i was so totally NOT in the mood to vomit in italian class so i went home anyway. i fel asleep on the couch and slept straight for like 4 hrs, and when i woke up i was having an allergic reaction to something so to the long list of dust, cats, apples, plums, peaches, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, pears, mangos, and stuff i cant remember, i can now add the feathers in my stepfathers couch...i hate my allergies. but i guess i got off lucky cuz my sis had an asthma attack when she was one...
i hope this font is big enough... sry, im mocking u and its very mean of me, esp. cuz u didnt mock my prowess (or lack thereof) at whaddayacallit, so im sry...but like i said im feeling crappy and thats the best excuse i can think of.
off to visit sites now. dont be offended if my comments are less than enthusiastic...

sry...
sry im not visitng/commenting on all ur sites i usually try to but today i have NO TIME to do any of that so im just doing a quick post.
fri was fun i went rollerblading with a friend, i LOVE rollerblading even tho i suck at it and then i felt crappy all day yesterday and thnw e had to wtch 2001, a space odyssey which m sry, its REALLY BORIING!i mean they spent longer setting each scene than actually doing anything! the plot was a good idea but it needed WAY more work, the whole movie was just an excuse to show off all those special efects tha back then were like magic, form an editorial point of view it was really crappy. but my stepfather, who remembers when it was the hottest movie ever, loves it, so i couldnt exactly SAY anything...i actually fell asleep in front of it, the first movie for me to have done so in like 7 yrs, but i pretnded to just be really tired (which i was)
so now i really have to go but i figgered id give u fair warning if u havent cn it DONT its just noise and special effects u can c on ur itunes music program or whatever, media player if u have that. and i mean noise theres more suspended noise than actual music...

   many thanx...
this is a grateful post:
thank u to everyone who signed my gb - all twelve *sigh* check out their sites they rock!
thank u to everyone who has answered my incessant questions about how to do this or that, b/c im too impatient to take the time to figger it out myself
thank u to everyone who has been visiting and commenting on my posts - i love to read what people think! (i no i sound like some stupid guidance counselor-type person, but please bear with me during my cheesy moments)
and, of course, thank u to my friends serenity and rini for helping me set up my account and turning me on to myotaku in the first place. *prostrates self on floor in gratitude - jk! like i would do something like that!*

ok. done with the cheesy part. now i can talk about this assembly we had at school...annie hatch, who won two silver medals in gymnastics in the 2004 olympics, came in and talked to us about acheiving ur dreams etc. which was kinda boring but beat english class anyway (which is what i was missing). the good part was when she did some gymnastics herself and then she got some kids up to do basic starting stuff in gymnastics. it was hilarious, especially when they screwed up - im so mean. *cackles evilly*
anyhowz, *grins guiltily* id been hoping i could get away with not doing my english hw b/c they were just supposed to take attendance and then bring us to the gym, but she checked the hw anyway. but i told her id left my english stuff in my locker so she said just show it to me tomoro then.
*draws deep breath for new tirade* speaking of hw, what is with this new workload? i have a ppt for s.s., a ppt for italian, a ppt for comp apps, a crack research paper for health, and a ton of other crap i have to do.
hmm....i better get working! ill try to get a lot done so i can post on sunday...or maybe sat. nite...hmm...*starts thinking about random stuff* o well

IM A PSYCHO! *laughs maniacally* sorry...so sorry....i have these irresistable urges....especially when im dead-a55 tired...which i am...so. nyway. today was an almost-good day b/c i ALMOST missed earth science, b/c we were supposed to meet this new guidance counselor who never showed up. my sisters group met him tho and now im glad i missed him, he made them meditate. meditation is nice..i do it myself sometimes...but in school, being told to surround urself with a forest - yuck. no way. ill take a boring lab over that thanx. but serenity was in my group....she had to go to german class - whoops, i mean spanish... *sympathetic tear* oh well maybe we'll miss a horrible class l8r.

   ahhhh!
i just had the worst scare i ever want to have.
i as up in my bunk bed, where i keep my computer cell phone books hw etc. and zelda (my baby sister, for whom my username was given) was up there with me cuz i was babysitting her. she was leaning over the railing to c my twin who has the bunk below me which she does all the time b/c she loves to c the room below her, and all of a sudden she started falling! i had to grab her by the butt (which is big cuz of her diaper) to keep her from falling on her head! some of u r probably laughing, and she was too, truth be told, giggling her stupid little head off, but it was SO scary.
i have no idea why i just told u that. except im still freaking out over it and so im not paying any attention to what im doing...oh well. whatever. if i were u i wouldnt even read my posts anyway so what does it matter?

easter
yes yes yes i no m jewish, i thought i would do something in honor of easter - or rather, of jesus - anyway...
there is a well-known story, about how a woman is caught in adultery and a rabbi comes along and saves her from being stoned to death by pointing out to the crowd that they should maybe be more forgiving. there are two other stories that also need to be told...
a woman is caught and about to be stoned to death for adultery. the rabbi comes, and says, "whoever here is sinless, let him or her cast the first stone." distracted, the townspeople drop their stones, thinking on their own sins. the rabbi, unnoticed, leads the woman out of the square and whispers, "tell the lord magistrate who saved his daughter. then he will know that i am his friend." and so the woman escaped because her town was near the brink of chaos, and could not enforce their laws.
another woman, another rabbi, another town. she is caught and about to be stoned for adultery. the rabbi steps up. again, he says, "whoever here is sinless, let him or her cast the first stone." the townspeople drop their stones, thinking that they would like to be saved should they ever be similarly situated. the rabbi picks up one of the fallen stones and crashes it into the woman's skull, killing her instantly. "neither am i without sin," he says. "but if we let only the sinless enforce our laws, we would collapse into chaos." and so the woman died because her town was too rigid to endure her deviation.
only one rabbi had the audacity to say the we should walk that fine line, between chaos and rigidity, death and lawlessness. and so, of course, we killed him.

boooooooored
i am so bored. not like i have nothing to do. once again, i have too much to do. as always. but none of it is interesting. so im just gonna write some random stuff ill probably regret later. im an optimist, in case u cant tell. but anyhowz, i wouldnt even bother reading this, cuz i dont know why im even writing it. except for that serenity will be mad at me if i dont update soon...
nyway, last nite my dad and stepmom went out to a surprise party for somebody or other i dont know, and we were left ot babysit my stepsister, whos 5. she was mostly ok only she wouldnt eat her dinner (despite earlier protestations that it was her favorite) but since this happens every nite we knew how to deal with her: no, you cant have cereal. you can have oly one go gurt. no more juice till you eat. no you cant be excused, you only had two bites. eat three more bites first. but you said you liked it before. this is dinner. you don't have to eat it, you just won't get food later. and no hamentachen either...that last one got her, we'd made chocolate hamentachen. for those of you who didnt hear me talking about it all week, friday was purim, a jewish holiday that ill talk about some other time, but anyway, ur supposed to make triangular cookies filled with chocolate or jelly or whatever and theyre called hamentachen, my dad makes really good ones.
anyhowz....im gonna go play isketch now. for those who dont know, isketch is THE most addictive online game ever, its like an online pictionary game, go to http://www.isketch.net/ and u can sign on, u dont need a password or anything. its a LOT of fun.

persephone
persephone, queen of the underworld, daughter of demeter, from greek mythology, is often seen as evil. however, shes not - nor is hades, but thats another story.
she was just picking flowers or whatever one day when hades decided he wanted her to be his queen. so, he rode up in his chariot, snatched her, and disappeared into the underworld. demeter, goddess of the harvest, went looking for her daughter, but couldnt find her. desolate, she wandered about cursing everything alive and causing a huge famine. zues, who'd had no problem with his brother marrying his daughter, realized he should not have chosen demeter's daughter to be hades' wife. so, he demanded persephone's return.
this whole time, persephone had wandered about the underworld miserably, but did not eat any food nor did she drink anything. as a parting wish, however, hades requested that she at least eat something. being a stupid softy, persephone ate three pomegranet seeds, not knowing that having eaten of the underworld she could never leave it. so the fates worked out a compromise: for the summer months, persephone would live aboveground with her mother demeter, and come fall she would return to hades. while she was in the underworld, demeter would be inconsolable, and nothing could grow. with her return, new buds would sprout and plants would live and grow again.
later, when they had forgotten this story, many greeks would hate persephone because of her domain and what awaited them there; and they would curse her name and dread ever seeing her, which was really not her fault at all.
