8:55 pm - Ba dee ba dum.
|
I really want to play guitar but i hate when household members stop and listen. God, I'm so sick of this house. I wish i was working just to get away. it always has the air that someone died here recently. (My mom is dead metaphorically, but its her choice and it taxes quite heftily upon the other household members).
I seriously need to get new friends. I can't wait until I get my license only because that means I can go and hang out with Kyle. All the cool people graduated last year, it sucks. Lindz and Amanda are in their own little lover world. Brigid and Adrian have done a swell job of isolating themselves. Amber and Ed have isolated themselves. Nicole has gone back to California. And my mom is always in the house so I can't even dance in underwear to 80's music in the kitchen while I clean.
Goddamn.
I don't want a boyfriend either. Everyone says "just go get a boyfriend." Fuck that. Everyone's miserable complaining beotches around friends after you get a mate.
Maybe I'll go to Philly tomorrow to kill the time. I'd really like to go to California and chill with Nicole on the trampoline now.
Ooh, no, wait. My mom's going to my grandmother's and I only work till 2, so I'm guaranteed 4 hours of alone time. I should probably clean now in a boring dull manner so I can do whatever tomorrow. Hmm. Well, its a plan. Adios!
current mood: bored but a good mood

English; Pd 2
In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, visiting judge Danforth knowingly chooses to sentence innocent townspeople to die rather than besmirch his solid reputation. Superficially, his choices appear to be based upon what Danforth honestly believes, but more than sufficient evidence was known by Danforth when he made the decision of the fates.
When Danforth first arrives in Salem, he is confident about the truth and justice his decisions as a judge bring. More than once, Danforth asserts his authority, saying “near to four hundred are in jails from Marblehead to Lynn,” and “seventy-two hanged by [my] signature.” (105). When Francis Nurse and John Proctor question Danforth’s weightiness, Danforth does not consider the nonexistence of witchcraft as a possibility, only that John and Francis are mistaken or “have a desire to undermine this court,” for witchcraft is present in Salem (106). Danforth judges the witch trials on the idea that “the pure in heart need no lawyers.” (109). Furthermore, he realizes that his only other basis for judging is “ipso facto” evidence- that which the victim’s word comprises all of the evidence. On that foot, Danforth begins investigating for the trials.
People begin to question Danforth’s validity, much to his dismay. And when one steps back and looks at what the court decided compared to the rumours and “evidence,” one must agree that there is ample reason to doubt Danforth. Unfortunately, Danforth is not receptive to the truth and those trying to expose it.
Danforth’s unrelenting trust for the “accuser,” Abigail, despite much evidence leading towards her guilt, is the first mistake Danforth makes that creates the impossibility of setting the hangings right and saving his reputation. Danforth lets Abigail threaten him, and completely forgets his anger when a cold wind comes to hurt Abigail. He overlooks the chance that Abigail is conspiring against Mary with the poppet. Danforth does not believe that Abigail had an affair with John, even though John, a man known by Danforth to be honorable, destroys his own name in order to expose Abigail.
In the instance of Mary Warren, Danforth’s actions are frivolous and work against the cause of removing the devil from Salem. Mary Warren innocently made a poppet as a gift to Elizabeth Proctor, who Mary had betrayed and upset. Abigail connivingly noted that Mary put her needle in the poppet as safekeeping. Later that day, Abigail shrieks with pain at dinner??, and, upon examination, is found to have a needle lodged into her stomach. Danforth ignores the possibility that Abigail could have framed Mary, and instead goes to the Proctor house, where Mary lives, to find the culprit. Later, Abigail threatens Danforth, and to distract Danforth from his bout of anger, Abigail again frames Mary, this time for sending her spirit out to hurt Abigail. Suspiciously, Abigail is the first to say “I freeze,” followed later by a chorus from the other girls who are affected by the witches’ spirits. Abigail is also the first to see the bird in the rafters, even though all the girl victims are looking about the court for Mary’s spirit. Danforth, however, is concerned with Abigail’s well-being, and demands Mary to stop. With any sense, Danforth would realize that Abigail is clearly very gifted in improv and find reason to at least side with Mary for a change, but Danforth does not.
Putnam, a religious man, unfairly receives Danforth’s good fortune while Giles is tortured for attempting to expose Putnam’s conspiracy. Putnam’s daughter, Betty, is one of the original two to fall sick from witchcraft. Putnam, knowing his droll neighbor George Jacobs had a lot of land, and knowing himself to have money to buy that land should it be forfeited, has his daughter cry witch on George Jacobs. Giles tells Danforth this. Danforth takes it lightly, and willnot consider its validity without knowing the source of Giles’ evidence. Unfortunately for Giles, he already put his wife to death by innocently asking Danforth if there was any significance in that he was unable to pray while his wife read. Therefore, Giles does not wish to expose to Danforth any more names of those Giles favors. Danforth discards the evidence, and tortures Giles to death in a vain attempt to expostulate the source of the evidence. Putman, however, is rewarded with his land-wealthy neighbor’s sentence to hang.
John Proctor also suffers the wrath of Danforth’s desperacy to save his reputation. John Proctor confesses that he was involved in an affair with Abigail, but Danforth refuses to accept this evidence, even though John soiled his strong name by exposing his infidelity to the gossip-loving town. Later, immediate before Danforth’s hanging, John is given two options by Danforth, who seems determined to make his arch-nemesis suffer in one way or another. Option one is die honorably. The other option, confess to have signed the devil’s book, and sign documents which will be emblazoned upon the church doors as a reminder to all that even those you might find honorable and infinitely innocent can turn from God. John, a man of great charity and use to the town, is hanged, and his sacrifice helps the townspeople realize the ridiculousness of the witch hunt.

i'm at a computer library before work. i'm having shitty luck finding a good job as usual too. laura keeps saying get a good one at the mall or something but she is the most unreliable person and malls require rides or bus fare. i was going to apply somewhere in the pennsauken mart but my mom would NEVER go for it. she's a racist even if she'll never admit it. i've been checking up on tour dates. if anybody knows anything good in philly/s. jersey, leave a comment, would you?
life's been kind of weird. laura has her license and now her car. she's visiting colleges this week. mom doesn't want laura to go to vermont because its "too far." UGh. she better not try to pull that on me.
warped tour was awesome even though i ended up going with mike, not jess.
i might see if mike wants to go see tsunami bomb with me. he might go if i offer to pay, plus we could hang in south street for a little while afterward which would make mike happy becuase his girlfriend doesn't like to go to places other than the mall or movies and mike seems to like traveling.

11:55 pm - 6 weeks of school left. WTF?
|
i haven't updated in a while, but i'm not great at updates so i think i've been doing you all a favor, really. well, I drank about 4 pounds of coffee beans, post brewing, in april. I stepped on a scale but to find i lost 25 pounds. This draws me to the conclusion that coffee completely obliterates my appetite. I probably shouldn't drink so much of it anymore. I am also definitely going to California. June 17-July 3! I'm upset that we get out of school June 25th next year. That's ridiculous. I might collect a letter of protest and see if I can get it changed. I think I could get every kid in our school to sign it, even if it meant no four day vacations and cutting a day or two off spring + winter break. I have a problem. I like too much stuff. Like, I want to be able to do it all. And to do it well. And I can't, and its problematic. Its getting out of hand too. I sleep four hours a day so I can practice my evergrowing list of things to practice. Art, guitar, woodcarving, painting and collages to decorate, taking care of the vegetable plants, cleaning, exercizing indoors, walking/running outside, writing letters, writing poems and short stories, doing after school clubs, going to track practice, studying for school, .... the list goes on. Its getting overwhelming but I want a job and to pick up a few new hobbies. At least I get good at things fast and resultingly have to spend less time on them. I only really spend time with Nicole and Carly outside of school anymore. Tonight was the surprise party for Amanda. Brittany dressed like a prince of darkness prostitute. Muy sexy. kim was a vampire and looked awesome. I wore a very stripey outfit and lots of tacky flair and mardi gras beads and masks, and I looked pretty (very rare). lindz wore a kimono. amber was a pirate. charissa was peter pan. good little kid fun. other people were there, but i'm not up to listing who and what they wore. I've been trying to find bands to help with tours as something to write down for a bussiness related extracurricular volunteer activity. I found two bands already. I got paint to paint my room. Its tan, and pretty. I'll post a hella lot of pictures eventually. Peace out.

Word all. I know I haven't updated in a really really long time. Please feel no hatred towards me. I actually felt almost enlightened, I suppose. I've cleaned a lot lately, and feel all artistic. If I wasn't getting dragged to damn Mike's party, I'd stay home and make curtains and paint. I pretty much am stuck taking courtney out for her birthday, as she is 13. Which sucks, because the 45$ or so it is going to cost is coming right from my California fund. I also need to call/post around to see if anybody has Coheed and Cambria tickets they're selling. I really wanted to go but had nobody to go with, and then Jess and I ended up talking and she had the same situation. Ah, the world is a funny place. So, we're supporting scalpers for a change. I cleaned my room majorly. I'm trying to get it where I have almost nothing. Then I'll be happy. There's still too much stuff in my closet. As soon as I make my curtains and go through that other box in my closet, there should be a lot more space. I can legally get a job in less than a month, which is great. I have applications already. I inherited a four foot high pile of records, and many are duplicates. So, Mrs. Candeloro can contact me somehow if she wishes to obtain any ( It would be my pleasure). Well, off to work on my room more.

7:57 pm - Tori speaking.
|
Hello world, this is tori speaking. I made spaghetti sauce today. With tomatoes and garlic and peppers. It was interesting. I need to clean my room and do more drawings. I did an interesting one of my mattress over the weekend. I sat on my bed and played my guitar with the window open today. Ah, the novelty. I put pistachers the bird outside for a while too. Today in school was really boring. Josh had hspa testing, so I had nobody to talk to in homeroom. HR and art and precal are the only classes I have friends in. Josh in homeroom, chris and kyle in art, and joe (and mike, unfortunately) in precal. I ended up spending a long time in the art room today and got little accomplished. My old still life was really awesome, kyle made it out of old stuff from my basement. I drew it real quick yesterday so i can set it back up in the basement and work with it again. Jess loved it to. Props to kyle. Yeah, I need to stop wasting time and go DO something.

8:38 pm - My Day.
|
well, today was a half day at school. blah. i just wished it were the end of the day all day. i had a meeting from 530 to 730 that took up a lot of my day. it was kind of boring. tomorrow there is an art meeting after school. i also have to talk to mr moore about tuba and mr graf about what else to sew for drama. yesterday was kind of fun. brittany was back for the first time in two weeks so i talked to her a lot during first period. josh is kind of ignoring me, but whatever. it was nicole's birthday and i apologized that her clay pot wasnt dry. there was a substitute in history, so i didnt have to suffer through mr miller rephrasing apstudent.com notes for 40 minutes (thank god). in art i talked to kyle for a while and he set a stilllife for me with the stuff i brought in. it looked really nice. mr budden showed me slides of his paintings and drawings from college. he ended up telling me about his still life of a dead bird and plaid red flannel shirt. and his ex girlfriend who he saw recently who tanned too much and looked awful and wrinkly. we played with balloons in gym. the track meeting was kind of interesting too. well, i have to look up statistics for our debate in english class tomorrow. wooeee.

3:11 pm - ese fin de semana
|
Yesterday was kind of pleasant even thought I was sick. I'm glad I went to school. I knew everything for my Modern World History quiz, although I wrote about the sinking of the Lusitania not submarine warfare as my second reason for the US going to war, even though the lusitania was technically the result of submarine warfare. In art I finished my pastel and decided that my technique was right on the paper, but the paper was purple with depressions, and the texture and color is what messed my up, so I'm probably going to do a new one at the end of the year. i kind of sat around and talked with kyle for a while, and then went and talked to mr budden for the rest of the period. it was kind of surrealistic, all of friday and most of today, saturday has been. after school i walked to blockbuster and got movies, and left josh's blockbuster card in his mailbox. It cost 10.50 to rent three movies, and the movie from 2001 was 2$ to rent because it was a "favorite" yet the 1962 movie was 4$ because it wasn't a favorite. I need somebody to explain that logic. at any rate, i don't know if I should do a self portrait or a still life on the masonite. If anybody wants to make a suggestion, it'd be nice because i really dont know. i got warped tour tickets online, so jess and i are going. woo.

Life is looking up at this point. I might be going to California. I'm probably going to S&S I'm almost definitely going to NC. I am definitely going to see Thrice. The Art trip to NYC is March 13 (wee)! I finally get my braces off in a month. Josh and I 'hung out; over the weekend and had fun. I know where to get a job. I made a pretty drawing the other day. I understand the story I have to write an analysis on. We're having fruit salad for dinner tomorrow. I have a better idea of what to do for college. I sort of hurt myself doing cartwheels in the living room and landing on a fork, but I feel better now. ...and my hair looks mad nice. I'm going to take a picture with my digital camera, I'll post it eventually. I'm hoping that the next 6 weeks go fast and smooth. I want to hang out with kyle again afterschool. I want to call josh and ask when he wants to. And I'm adjusting to sleeping 5 hours a night and then getting 10 a night on weekends, which is nice. I can stay up until 1:30 painting now. My Dad's surprise party was interesting in many ways. I'm going to go now.

12:20 am - My strangely good weekend.
|
Hello. I haven't updated in a while. Yesterday I got rid of my bookshelf and my room is really nice and furniture free now (almost). I gave Lindz and Amanda the bookshelf because its a waste to throw wood out and they wanted one. I took down most of the stuff on my walls and set one wall aside for sketches, one for little doodles ( I found gator board in the basement I'm going to hang up to nail stuff to), one for glow in the dark paintings that are part of a mural-type thing, and the other wall is undecided and open to suggestion (It's 11 x 7 feet).That 'made' yesterday. I still have random stuff from the top of the bookshelf and my little basket to find places for though, and I shoved some stuff in my closet which also needs to be rid of. My sea monkeys finally hatched today. I wouldn't have noticed if Laura hadn't said anything. They're alot smaller than I thought. My mom has given in on fighting to make me eat stuff I don't like (finally). She used to always make me eat pork and I used to get really sick (the thought of pork nauseates me). I also got a note from the nurse explaining that there is no difference between the protein found in pork and pinto beans. That 'made' my day times 5784. Kim and I went to the mall today. I got some new clothes. I got an alkaline trio cd (which was cheapest at hot topic, surprisingly) for my cousin micah, valentine's day stuff for my mom and carolyn, a greenpeace calendar for me (I always wait until they're on sale to buy), and a bra because I needed one. After I bought Micah's Cd Kim & I talked to the guy in Hot Topic for a while, about being bored and etc. We were walking past bath and body works, and I said "Kelly works there!" And I look in, and Kelly was actually there buying stuff with her discount. So we talked to Kelly too. There was just a commercial on for Long John Silver's. The thought of fast-seafood.. ugh. I can't imagine it being anything remotely resembling decent. I spent all day today drawing. It was nice for a change even though I should be studying for midterms and stuff. Tomorrow is Laura's birthday. Jess E. and I might be going to S&S! I really hope so. It would be the best<3! Allover it was a great weekend even with the prospect of midterms in a mere week.

9:51 pm - What I've Been up to lately.
|
Today I had my first tuba lesson. Damn Teddy for talking me into it, I think my lips are going to fall off. But Ted promised to teach me stuff because I agreed to do it. i cleaned my room and researched some side stuff I've been interested in lately, as well as formulated plans for a memory sketchbook that is to reflect the best aspects of my life and memories. It won't have any photos, just artwork and maybe scrapbook paper for backgrounds on some if I cheat, but otherwise generally nonobjective backing. It should occupy quite a bit of time and if it turns out as I hope will be nice. i've become more anti-tv than ever (reasons below). And I created some motivation for myself, which is good. I picked up my last art class packet from the portfolio class I took at perkins. it had interesting comments in it. I finished my reform article for history, and I am currently researching my spanish person article. I also have a women's rights one due next thursday and a research paper rough draft due the 20th. I aspire to complete it all soon so I have time to relax and study for midterms.
Trapped in a box of tremendous size
It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
Sucks up our lives and proliferates lies
Trapped in a box
Trapped in a box, four walls as sky
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box
Trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
Trapped in a box I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters from a crack or a hole
This is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box
Chorus
Always wanting a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone in a single click
Just hope that that switch won't stick
Trapped in a box my life becomes void
All I thought for myself is now destroyed
Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy
Subliminal rules: how to live, how to die
Trapped in a box
Chorus
current mood:  numb
current music: onoe.

10:08 pm - y tu dia?
|
Okay, instead of painting like my original plan, I shoveled snow and then came back in and took a bath with fresh mint in it so it smelled nice. And I feel all nice and my nose isn't stuffy like It was because I'm sick. Now I am waiting for mom to come back from picking laura up from work, and then we are going to eat dinner, and then I paint or do homework. I should probably do homework, but I spent 7 hours yesterday doing homework and I realllly don't feel like it. I watched Donnie Darko earlier, which will thrill Kyle because now he gets his movie back, and I watched one of his movies. ( I borrowed Sleepy Hollow from him earlier in the year). I didn't do much in art today. i started to work on the winter decorations, but then I kind of got sidetracked at examining Jess's horrible Spanish grammar. Ms. Fidalgo, the Spanish teacher, gives fun projects where you cut out pictures and write stuff in Spanish, and she assigned them journal entries. About 90% of the stuff on Jess's entry was crossed out and corrected. Yeah, in her (COUGH) "journal" she was a penguin and her and her penguin friend went and got KFC and then J F K clones stole their buckets of chicken or something and there were mexican elves and stuff.. it was interesting. Maybe she'll get extra credit for creativity. And then after we were done making fun of Jess's spanish project (due first period that day) and "Pflumdaddy" (chris pflaumer, who has a funny name and the goofiest looking cell phone), I cut candy canes out of illustration board. And then I put stuff away, and the bell rang. Woo. We didn't do anything in precal, Joe and I talked about geeky stuff, steph B. (who is cool and kind of left out because she sits far away) listened in, and mike tried to brag that he had a leaf blower that blew leaves at 175 mph. I don't think Mike realises that Joe and I are nerds and know why you should buy Minolta or Olympus or Sony cameras, people who make cameras where you can buy replacement parts and new lenses online, not Hewlett Packard cameras for 400$ and 3 M.P. and that save on a memory card. Mic-ster is online. Should I talk to him? (ponder). he is irresponsive. Interesting. Josh and I were thinking about visiting Lindz and Amanda at Palombo's while they worked tonight, it'd either be dead or mad busy because of the snow. It didn't much matter though, Josh had to work until 8 anyway. My Captain Apparent observation of the day : I just realised that its Friday and I don't have to do homework. More like it registered that I don't have to wake up early and blahblahblah. Okay. I'm going to go. Nightnight.

8:16 pm - My really busy weekend and my week.
|
Today has been one of those days that kind of went good, kind of went bad. Monday night I went to see whirlwind heat + white stripes. The people from whirlwind heat were dancing around and having a good time. Not many people in the audience were doing anything less than standing around staring like it was a TV. Thursday the band is going to be on conan o'brien 12:35 friday morning. I'm going to watch and tape it. More likely just tape it, my family is a pain. Last night was Less Than Jake. I forget how the lineup went. Punchline, Rufio, Fallout Boy and then Less Than Jake I think. I saw Joe, Becky and Dave there. Joe had the best hat on, and Molly (who I went with) wasn't annoying as hell like last time (thank god). The brother of the guitarist from Rufio died though, so Tommy Tutone played instead, which was strange but interesting. I told Kyle (who likes the 80's) in art today and he was jealous. Ahaha. He's going to see Simon and Garfunkel after all, so that's good. We might go see Msi together. I pulled my shoulder sometime during Less Than Jake, I didn't even realize until this morning. Everybody at the show was good for the most part. There was one group of girls that all dressed in the same exact outfit and they all repeatedly went crowdsurfing, which pissed me off, the one girl went no less than 10 times during the whole show, in all honesty, which is overdoing it a little considering someone (Joe's little brother) was crowdsurfing right in front of her, and she was so close that she kicked him in the head and he actually blacked out. Not cool. grr.. my brace is poking into my lip and it hurts. Tomorrow is thanksgiving and the oven is broken, so I'm going down to the shore instead. On Friday I'm going to Josh's to use his encyclopedias and other stuff to write my stupid history project. Friday night is Uncle Matt's party, which should be kind of fun. Saturday... uh, I know I'm doing something. Sunday I go shopping with Courtney (Lindz's little sister), I don't really want to go. Courtney gets annoying, walks really slow, and does an annoying click thing after every sentence. But I promised I'd take her, so I'm stuck doing so. My mom's pissed off at me for a change. (haha! sarcasm!) This time because I wanted to cook dinner and was insisting upon, and she insisted upon knowing why so I told her the real reason- I don't like the way she cooks it, and she got all pissed off. That and the fact that Laura STILL hasn't finished cleaning and just walked out to go see her boyfriend. This weekend isn't looking really fun overall, but at least my sister isn't sleeping in my room (which she would have to if thanksgiving was here). Steph wanted to do something over the weekend, I'd like to if we get done the history project. Everybody else has video editors on their computer and costumes and all kinds of stuff for theirs, we don't have anything available and are probably going to get a shitty grade because of it. Not to mention our third person went to college prep and doesn't help. I was talking to Budden about something interesting on Wednesday, but I forget what it was.. :/ I've been working on redecorating my walls. I found some posters and I'm going to look for stuff to do a painting on. I also need to repaint my 'dresser' and another shelf, and rearrange my room whenever I get around to it. I also need to make my new bookshelf type thing, and apply for jobs after I finish my history, spanish,science, driver's ed, and the majority of my english project. I bought some vellum at jo ann fabrics earlier today, which might be useful in decorating. I should take before and after pictures. Alright, I'm going to go. I might post later in the weekend if anything interesting happens.

8:21 pm - It has been a strange day indeed.
|
Woo, it was VERY weird when I woke up. I was cleaning from 9 this morning until about 4, then I took a shower and somehow fell asleep until 7. And then I woke up all the windows and doors were still open and the the ceiling fan was still on because my sister had run home at 3 to get ready for homecoming, and she was hot so she opened everything. the curtains were blowing into the room, and papers were flying everywhere from the strong breeze and the house was really dark with no lights on. It was very, very strange indeed. So I sat down and made coffee and watched I love the 80's and then thought to shut the windows because I was cold from sleeping. That was my whole day. I'm not going to homecoming. Laura's going to homecoming at cinnaminson, but other than that all my friends but kyle are going. If Kyle lived closer, I'd probably be over his house now. i keep think that it's sunday night. Its weird. I didn't eat anything today, and I'm not hungry. I ate spinach for breakfast.. that's kind of weird. And I drank water all day and then the coffee. maybe I'll eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or something. I want to call somebody on the phone tonight, but I have not an idea as to who would be home. Oh well. Maybe I'll call micah. I still have to make a picture. I have a few ideas as to what to do. I need prismacolor markers for one, maybe paint with gel medium in it will work because I can't afford a 70$ box of markers. Micah's online to keep me company. Weee.
current mood: Time Disoriented.
current music: Whoa, I know everything on I love the 80's. Scary.

11:33 pm - A new tiring day.
|
|
i have the PSATs tomorrow. Today, Molly and I went to the mall and got her a shirt for homecoming, for only 6$, which is pretty good, and us tickets to see Jess Than Jake. Nobody wants to see Phantom Planet with me, and Molly might go see Thrice and Thursday with me. I hope so, I really want to see Thrice live. Molly and I are going to see Dave Matthews in December. I can't see 311 or the Offspring live, I have to go see relatives that day, which is fun because theyre fun relatives, but I don't get to see two bands that top everybody's best live list, and I finally found somebody else who liked 311 and would go wiht me (I missed them in July) and now I cant go. But Dave will be good even though its only him and not the band. Phish might be there too. One wholesome stoner concert right there. I'm almost done my drawing in art, Budden said it looks really good. I got elected vice president of art club, Jess E (not the annoying one that goes out wiht mike) is the president, due to seniority, buts shes a better artist than me so she deserves it. I don't want to get up at 6:45 for the PSATs, which are at 8. Eggh. I think the SATs are a test for how determined you are to get into college, the more you take it, they know you're determined. I can't see why else theyd make it so damned early. I'm sad that Brittany is leaving in December. I finally have a class with her and she is leaving on me. Colin is in there too, he's awesome, but I don't really talk to him, brittany's talkative, which is nice. Shila is in there too. She's sweet and reminds me of someone who'd be in Harry Potter. I am not doing very good in Precalculas. I do good on the hard stuff and then fail miserably at rationalizing the denominator. Spanish is harder this year; Mrs Fidalgo is not a good teacher, although shes friendly and I like her as a person. She just does too much bookwork, and doesn't spend enough time explaining things, grammar, sentence structure, spanish expressions, and vocab. But she does go over verb conjugations. Sorry if my entries are boring, I think they dont compare to many people's. I walked about 6 miles total today, which was tiring mainly because school and the mall and acme were busy, not because of the physical factor; just lots of stuff working out okay for a change.

11:21 pm - Woo. I actually had fun!
|
Well, I just got back from my misadventure of a friday night. My night was bad until I called Brittany to do something- my sister was whining for me to watch her play a video game and scream at it when she lost. And then she got on the phone for 45 minutes while I was waiting for brittany to call me back with plans, and I was going to cry when I called brittany's house after my sister finally got off the phone because all I got was the answering machine- I needed to get away from laura. So, Brittany (thank god) calls me from alicia's right before laura picked up the phone to call her friend back. And I was about to walk out the door to go to alicia's when my mom go thome and insisted upon driving me. My mom and sister got in some big fight about my sister's plans, she didnt even go and do what was planned. But, at any rate, I went to alicia's and bill and ken were there. I have never liked bill, he's the bad mike m. type of pervert. And then alicia's supersweet aunt who needed to find a place to live in new jersey because she changed jobs came over to stay while she looked. Alicia, Brittany and I tried to make it sound like we were taking the most boring walk ever to ditch bill and kenny. It worked. So we walked to wawa and bought coffee, and then brittany closed her eyes and spun in circles to determine where we go. Going towards our original destination was an exceedingly annoying mass of people, so we walked towards the river instead. And then we decided to go see joe then josh, but we stayed at joe's for awhile on his steps because joe is very entertaining. He was telling us about download this song and then turning it up really loud and going downstairs in his boxers and putting on these goofy sunglasses he has and perfecting his slide when noone was home. The way he said left all of us dying in laughter. And all of rhmying "-ock" words and then "-and" words in silly sentences and screamign good ones to these wigger kids that didn't leave. Then joe decided that he wanted to go to blockbuster to buy a movie, so alicia, brittany joe and I walked to blockbuster, which is like, 2 miles away. It was fun. Brittany and I went to the acme to pee and then buy mini pumpkins while alicia and joe were in blockbuster. Brittany and I finish in there, and go to blockbuster (grabbing house and apartment pamphlets for alicia's aunt along the way) and I was like "hey he looks liek kenny". Well, kenny, bill, and bill's bitchass ex were all there. So we got stuck with them until alicia's mom and aunt came to pcik us up. Alicia's mom didn't even say anythign againt alicia having stolen this traffic cone and left it by the side of ames, and then getting it on the way home. She just aked where it was from. Kind of made me laugh. Then we all departed and I got home and Andy was here with laura, which wasn't the original plan. he left about 3 minutes ago, and now my sister is already vegetating in front of the television. Oh well. I'm going to go and do something.
current mood:  chipper
current music: the Tv.

Hey. I went to the bank and cashed my check and deposited some. I think 50 for the art book for amanda and lindz that meg is selling, and the other 40 is in my account. I stopped at a yard sale on the way and bought a chuck berry 8-track tape. Then I went to the post office and mailed the money to meg. My mom, sister and I left for the shore at 1:30, even though I got home at 11. My mom swore up and down we woudl leave at 11:30. I was right as usual, and it was half her fault it took so long. I spent most of the day at/ traveling to.fro the shore. We ate dinner at the place my cousin works on LBI even though it wasn't her shift. Just to try it. The mosquitos were bad. Then we went shopping because Laura wanted to blow more money on clothes she doesn't need. The sunset over the bay with the muck covered in grass islands looked really awesome. The sun was hot pink too. It was pretty. I wish I took a picture, but alas, I had no camera. I rode home, called Zalina and didn't really talk, got online after my sister was done on the computer. "Talked" to people. Kim and I are going somewhere tomorrow. No definite plans, but it should be fun. Kim is fun. my sister offered me 10$ to load the dishwasher because she let it sit around and get moldy. My mom won't rinse out dishes if there's anything in the sink, and my sister's just plain lazy. But I made 10$ for her laziness and disgust with mold. And the fact that she procrastinated since 9 when we got home. But she probably would have paid me to do it anyway out of pure disgust of mold. Either way, its all good because I can spend it kim tomorrow and not take out of my "ticket fund" for concerts. i have 50$ in it and i want to see the juliana theory in october. i feel really strange today for some reason. My day was pretty uneventful in all, sorry. I'm going to check emails. Bye.
