Some Bad News [and unrelatedly, something about Harry Potter]

Today has been a long day.It started at nine o'clock when my mom called and asked me to deliver her diabetes equipment (i.e., notebook, insulin, glucose checker). She had forgotten in her rush to get to work and needed them.No problem. I eventually got over there and dropped them off.Afterward, I grabbed some lunch from Chic-Fil-A and came home. I watched television (for instance, this comedian...

Here We Go Again

My father loves me this I know, for he likes to tell me so.Therefore, I get how important my happiness and wellbeing are to him. First and foremost, he wants me to be happy. And happy usually means that you don't have debt up to your neck. He's trying to save me from having all these unnecessary college bills, and that I can appreciate. It's just that he's so . . . controlling?He wants me to live...

A Rant about Prejudice [My father annoys me.]

I hate prejudices.I realize that we all judge unintentionally (it is human nature, after all), but it's when we take these judgments to the extreme that it becomes a problem. We don't have to like every single person, but we do have to tolerate them.So...my dad hates Adam Lambert. He hates Adam for being homosexual without even considering Adam's ability to sing. (In fact, the first time my father...

Excited Yet Anxious (About writing and reading)

I started my very own contest yesterday. Snack On This Contest. Even though I only have six people entered, I'm feeling pretty excited. I've already got one entry, and I'm really impressed with it so I can't wait to see what other people come up with.In addition to the whole contest thing, my non-Mibba friend is going to write me a story on squash (even though someone on Mibba is writing on it in...

Rain, Contests, and Dogs

I'm feeling really inspired. In the past month, I've completed my story Phoebe and six one-shots for competitions. So yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.And I've recently come up with my own contest just because. Snack On This ContestPretty much, you write about a fruit or vegetable. I haven't seen a contest like it in the forums, so I figured, why not?On an unrelated note, my dog Koko seems to like my...

Why do Pringles taste so darn delicious?

So I'm sitting at the computer, snacking on Cheddar Cheese Pringles, and pondering over things.I've finally escaped school.Last year they decided to try something new and flip-flopped our schedule around. Instead of early August to mid-May we had to attend school from late August to June. June. Imagine running to school in June. It's not very pleasant, I assure you. But at least next year I'll be...

Ever got the feeling that the world is comprised of idiots?

Ever got the feeling that the world is comprised of idiots?I have. Many times in fact. But this journal isn't about that feeling. It's about the Georgia High School Graduation Test. GHSGT for short.I'm sick of it. Sick of hearing about it and sick of thinking about it.Since the beginning of school, we're heard nothing but "if you don't pass the GHSGT, you don't graduate" and "one question can make...

Happy New Year! Of course...

KissesI never really got why people kiss after the ball drops in Times Square. I mean, I get when actual couples kiss. But just some random stranger who happens to be at the same place as you? That's actually kind of creepy.ResolutionsGot any? Can I borrow some?I suppose my main one should be to arrive to school on time -- with at least 5 minutes to spare before the tardy bell.Three minutes to go...

Yeah, I'd rather be a bull.

Would you rather have security by following a leader you disagree with . . . or rebel and live a life of uncertainty? Are you an ox or a bull?Did you know that the only difference between an ox and a bull is castration? I didn't. Not until today at least. I suppose you learn something new everyday; I seem to always learn something new in AP U.S. History.Feeney -- as in Boy Meets World -- played...

I love when school isn't a waste of time.

Today was one of the best days in school I've had in a long time. I could go into detail about each of my classes, but I won't because it would be a bit too boring even for me. Instead, I'll just leave every class but AP U.S. History behind.We had a substitute today for history. Our teacher didn't leave much work, so we had 35 minutes or so to wait for the bell. And because we're naturally...

A Strong Basis for Love

I know for a fact many question love and what it is. I don't. Not really. Love is affection essentially, and, without a certain amount of love, families, relationships, and friendships can't really exist.So if I'm not going to yammer on about how love is this and that, then what am I talking about love at all for? Really, it's because of the movie industry. If my AP U.S. history class had not...

Some Sort of Update

July 1, 2008Begin Time: 4:08 AMEnd Time: 4:37 AMNew things in my life:1 ) I got a puppy.2 ) I read The Host.3 ) I just watched Definitely, Maybe.Numero Uno:The new puppy is utterly a mess.

Hope, Death, House, and EOTCs

My grandmother is dead.It's sort of sad to say, but I'm not like weeping. I'm relieved; she's no longer caught in between living and not. And at least I got to see her one last time before she passed.Also, I suppose I should mention that Friday at 1:30, my great-aunt -- my grandma's sister -- passed as well. Grandma was not told this because it would have pushed her over the edge. However, that...

God's Cancer Revolution......essentially a boring post you shouldn't even read.

It's my birthday. I'm now officially 16. Yeah.My grandmother has cancer -- if you haven't read my last post, and my father insisted that she'll croak like right now. He's making such a big deal out of the whole ordeal -- calling me on the phone and crying, telling me to pray to God, talking about how he'll need me after she's gone. I'm truly sick of it. She's old; you can expect her to die...

Ovarian Cancer (and some other boring parts of my life....)

Okay so my grandmother has ovarian cancer. She has surgery Monday. She's 75. If you believe in God or some force of whatever, pray. If you want that is. . . .I'm sort of sad but I know for a fact that my grandmother will pull through. I know she will and I don't say that with annoying little tears in my eyes or my head in the clouds hoping to God or whomever that what I say will come true. No, I...

Spanish Class and People

Amazingly, I think I have moved on from liking Spanish class. It's just irritating me so much that my fellow students won't learn the language. Well, actually it's not even that so much as it pisses me off that they complain. This one girl -- whom I will call Riva -- who sits behind me in class is particularly annoying. (I will now give some examples.)1 ) "What is she saying?"2 ) "I don't get...

Rain, Puppy Dogs, and Being Hungry....

It . . . is raining.It . . . is the 6th birthday of my dog Beau.It . . . is Saturday.I am thinking . . . that it is pizza night.I am thinking . . . that I am hungry.I am thinking . . . of a number between 0 and 10. Guessed it yet? You should have.Okay, now that I'm done with that I believe I should move on to something new. Or at least explain myself.It is in fact raining here in Nowheresville,...

Spring Break, Teen Pregnancy, and Missing Friends.....

Hmm….Spring Break. Also known as a string of days in which you're either having the time of your life or some of the worst cases of boredom. Currently, I'm on the second part of that sentence. The first part, it seems, has flown right over me.I'm tired of S.B. I'm ready to go back to school; except, I really don't want to go back to the monotony of class schedules. I do miss my friends -- Jaime...

Interesting facts that are more on people that noone's really heard of.....

Tesla was robbed. He was. Truly. If you don't know who Tesla was, well then, wikipedia his name. It's just so much easier to say that than to go on and on about him and you still not care. Anyway, he was around during the time of Edison. And Edison cheated him out of a bunch of money after Tesla had worked hard fixing Edison's stuff. Oh and Tesla is really the one who invented the radio. Yep....
