Bruised

I don't remember exactly how it happened. All I know is that when I climbed out of the pool my left pinky toe felt quite sore. Upon further inspection, I realized that I had somehow managed to bruise (if not break) the entirety of my toe. It was, and still is covered, in splotches of blue/black and deep redish purple hues. Somehow I had managed to injure myself at the pool. I'm guessing it is likely that it happened while I was jumping into the shallow end of the pool although I can't be sure. It's unusual though, because as often as I make a fool of myself with my klutsy nature, I rarely end up injuring myself, and I've been involved in some pretty ridiculous incidents. Thankfully though, I am able to walk on it so hopefully that means it's not actually broken.

On a happier note, I am definantly looking forward to working on our fantastic summer list. Hopefully it will keep us occupied for most of the time so I won't end up staring into space with nothing to do. Such always seems to be the risk with all of this freedom, a lack of things to do. Thankfully we have a pretty extensive list of summer activities. I am greatly anticipating color day.

I am already 2/3 through with the driving portion of drivers ed. Huzzah.


Poppy Shakespeare was phenominal! I just finished it the other week and I absolutely loved it. I definantly think that the ending really helped my opinion of the book. Which reminds me that I still have to finish One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Although, overall I have to say It's Kind of a Funny Story, is definantly my favorite relating to the subject, actually it's probably my all time favorite book. Reading Poppy Shakespeare though kind of got me thinking about those whom society deems as "mentally ill." What if some of these so called mentally ill patients are actually created by the workings of society. Maybe we only think of them in such a way because they do not fit in with our view of how other members of society should conduct themselvs. Maybe we create these classifications of others to make ourselves feel better about our standing in society. Maybe?

It's been forever since we made one of our lists so I'm going to make two:
numero uno is favorite smells:
1)the smell of a bonfire, it always reminds me of fall(pretty much my favorite season)
2)the smell of my granny's house
3)the smell of my pillow, it reminds me of sleep and calm.
4)any good smelling food, this would probably include spicey foods, and chocolate

numero dos is current favorite songs
1)the artist by the hush sound, love the lyrics
2)mariella by kate nash, i adore her voice, plus the song tells a nice little story
3)the car song by the cat empire

Happy Summer!

Almost There

Ah, only three days of school left! As much as I love it, i must say I'm ready for it to be over. I have reached a point of final exhaustion. Hopefully I'll be able to make it through these next few days. I've been working on my final project this weekend. I didn't realize it would involve so much detail. I suppose that's a good thing though because it will help add on more hours to the time I spent on it. I'll feel so relieved once it's all over.

Summer is going to be ah-mazing though! All thanks to our most awesome summer list!!! I am so excited. I hope we can complete all of it, there are so many awesome feats to complete this summer. I am particularly excited for color day. I can tell this is going to be a good summer.

Was the talent show not amazing?! The acts were amazing. I do agree that the diverse mix of acts was nice. Especially compared to Pike's which pretty much just turned into a crump-a-thon this year. It was kinda funny, but after a while it all seemed the same. The people in our school's though were pretty talented. OH MAN, but that random homeless guy totally made the show for me. I think what made that whole scenario so great was that fact the it was Hurst who had to deal with it. I was dissapointed that the show had to be cut short though. Hopefully there will be a time for them to finish off the last act.

Well, summer is practically here, get excited!!!

Hello Old Blog

Man, it has been so long since i wrote on this blog. Remember the begining of this blog trend? It was so awesome! I think maybe we need to revive this lovely trend. It's difficult to keep up with though on a daily basis with all of our end of the year projects. I do like our blog though, it's such a shame I've been so occupied with other stuff lately.

Anyways, in recent news, Sa, Lyd and I have been walking to the library the past two days after school. It was such amazing weather too with blue skies and the sun shining down. Of course now it is raining. Honestly, it seems as if it only rains on the weekends when we actually have time off. I am definantly thinking though that we should be spending a lot more time walking to the library when the weather is appropriate. And these random people we see are pretty amusing too....

Three Day Weekend!!! So pysched, although it's quite likely that I will probably spend the majority of the weekend working on all of my school work. Or perhaps even more likely, I will intend to work on them but in actuality we all know I'll find something less productive to do. Chances are that all of my work will pile up until the very last week and I'll have to rush. I know that I've always procrastinated in the past but it's at an all time worse this year. Honestly. Last year I would have finished a project the weekend before it was due but now a days I wait till the night before. The odd thing is that even though I know I have a lot of responsibilities to tend to I just can't bring myself to care....Maybe I'm just lazy or too focused on the coming summer holiday to give much attention to school work. Hopefully it will pass though, but it's difficult when you're apathetic about being apathetic. I doubt that made any sense....

A night on the town sounds awesome right now. Hopefully I can work something out. Swing dancing and or bowling sounds fantastic for I haven't been it what seems like forever. I remember that we would always go last year, but we would always be so drained by the end of the week that we could barely stand, let alone dance for two hours. Yet somehow I still managed to go and enjoy it. Of course, it was also a bunch of elderly people too whenever we went too. I remember when you, Sa, danced with that old man, haha. Good times.

P.S. latest music obsession=Kate Nash!!! I absolutely LOVE her voice. Man, I wish could sing like her. Ah, she's amazing though, a must for musical listening.

....that was so akwardly worded

musical moods

I sometimes wish that Ben Gibbard lived in my basement and that he would play beautiful compostions on his guitar accompanied with the soothing sound of his lyrics and that they would float up through the vents and fill my house with their heavenly sound. That would be amazing. I could be up reading late into the night when I'd randomly hear that beautiful music playing in the backround soothing me to sleep.

Speaking of my basement though, I am considering the possibility that our old tv down there may possibly be possessed. Not quite certain whether to take that assumption as solid fact or fiction but i had the oddest experience this afternoon. So when I got home from school I decided to run on the treadmill down there while watching malcolm in the middle, and suddenly the screen just turns to static and all I can hear is white noise. I then try turning the channel and then try to turn it off, but the TV wouldn't. I couldn't even shut the power off on it so I pretty much had to completely unplugg it and then plug it back in. It worked for a while before doing the exact same thing happened again. It also did this thing where random numbers just started randomly changing in the corner where the number of the channel satition should be but i wasn't even holding a remote. So freaky! It's unplugged now though so hopefully it hasn't found a way to turn itself on, which according to my parents that tv use to randomly turn itself on in the middle of the night. Super creepy. My only explaination for these odd occurancies is that it's a pretty old tv, actually I think it may have been my great grandmother's tv or something like that.

Our poor blog has fallen out of use temporarily. It is quite sad. I suppose we are just really lazy. Or just have lives with better things to do in our spare time, haha.

So I was talking to Auds in ceramics, she told me about you're whole "So how long have you and Abby been going out?" conversation, and we think that we should have another homeroom party soon because we haven't had one in quite a while and they always make my day ten times better. I mean, how can good food and a party not put you in a good mood? I'm thinking next week or possibly this week if we can figure something out because we need something to look forward too(not that I don't love school already or anything, but it would be like the frosting on the cake, you know? wait, you don't like frosting, so uh maybe ignor that analogy...)

Sawing Away

Today I learned how to use the wood saw! I'm pretty much a handyman now if I do say so myself. You should've seen me, sawing away while wearing my swan sunglasses. It was terrific. I love my dad so much. He's like my little guru that knows random bits about everything and is so passionate about life. I love him. Plus, he makes good food.

So tell me more about your parents altar getting set on fire. This intrigues me to no end. I might just daydream about it now.

I like your time theory, though one part confused me a lot.

Dane Cook? Glory May! Let's have a Dane Cook listening party. With Lauren. We'll be like Ralphie listening to the Little Orphan Annie show.

I like the word spindly too. It does bring up really mystical illustrations.

I might have a job at Amore!! I went in there yesterday and was like "Um, I applied for a job here a couple of weeks ago, do you know who I could talk to about that?" and this guy was like "Me", which took me aback cause he looked really young, but apparently it's his brothers that own the place. A cute Italian family. Oh wonder. When I mentioned that I could work Fridays he was like "Fridays?!? We'll call you this week and we might have you start this Friday" I'm pretty nervous now. I need to find out how to get a work permit. I think I have to get one from the school. The bad part about working there will be the heat. All those ovens. I am going to melt/sweat away. I'm pretty excited though! Except, when was the dance rescheduled to? I hope I don't have to miss it.

My dad and I are about to go to this concert at my church. It's this quartet called the Orkestra Projekt. Apparently they're really eclectic and weird. I'm excited. When I heard about it, it reminded me of Audrey. Her and her cello.

See you tomorrow Tultsatoompa!

B Lunch Band Reunited

Yes, last night was amazing! gah, I miss Kaitlynn so much, she's amazing. For that hour and a half it felt like the good(emphasis on the good portion) ol' days at PHS. The playing of invisible instruments, the food which Kaitlynn would occationally smell(except tastier, haha), the juicy gossip. And if I closed my eyes I could see Mr. Kudre (sp??) and Mr. Kudre's Son. Despite the fact that I pretty much despised that school I still feel some sort of kinship to it, like it will always be a small part of me or something. La Trois should have these girl dates more often with our friends we rarely ever get to see.(By the way, I love how you straightened your hair in honor of having dinner with Kaitlynn). Kate says she's going to try and get our little gang together soon. That would be cool, we never really get to see her much either.

Today I went to Super Target(j'adore!), and I had a gift card so I got a set of three Dane Cook CDs, score! I was listening to one earlier, and it has the monkey heist one that you like. Ah, I don't think anything gets me as pumped as listening to Dane. It just makes you so happy and full of energy. Oh, and I wore my hair up in a pony-tail today, which was a bit of an odd change for me. Maybe I will wear it like that to school sometime. What is with all these slight little alterations in my apperance? We also rented "Stardust" which we're going to watch later tonight. I wanted to get Labyrinth, but my dad said he would get it for me next weekend since my sister was more inclined to get "Stardust". So next weekend I will finally get to see the wonder of "Labyrinth" which I am greatly looking forward too.

I think that time may just be some made up meathod of humans to measure how quickly our lives go past. Your theory is pretty interesting. What if time just passes at it's own rate, but for some reason we don't really notice it because it affects our perspective at the present time and we don't clearly recognized the change until after that moment has passed?(if this even makes any sense to you). Hm, it's an interesting theory for sure though. Maybe what I'm trying to say is a) maybe it doesn't really exist at all, maybe it's just a made up concept of humanity. Or b) it is it's own master on to itself and passes as it pleases.

As for my lovely List:
1.Spindely-i hope i spelled this right, but anyways it makes me think of fairy tales and fairy creatures with delicate yet twisted limbs. How odd.
2. Frugal-who doesn't like saying "frugal"?
3. Aloof-funny word for being an outcast or a loner, kind of funny in a harsh way i guess...
4. Eloquent-it sounds really fluid to me, i don't know what i'm saying really. i pretty much just made these up in 30 seconds with little time for contemplation.

Okay, so why are three out of four of my words vocab words from either middle school or this year?

I can't believe it. Despite my determination not to make a fool of my klutzy self at school, the first day back I tripped on the stair first thing in the morning on my way to class. Thankfully no one was around to witness it. My knee is still bruised and a littled scabby(sorry, you didn't really need to know that I guess), and it still stings sometimes. So, I seem to pretty much be a walking train-wreck these days...I'll probably set the alter on fire at our wedding, haha. (Actually I think that happened at my parents wedding). Either that, or I will trip on my dress, that is if La Trois decides to wear dresses that are floor length. If not, then just tripping over my own two feet will suffice.

Pumpkin

Last night was so much fun. It was definitely better than watching a movie because with those you are watching someone else's life. We were living our own instead! Ah, I love you guys more than food. It was simply amazing seeing Kaitlynn again and eating all that good food.

I'm home alone right now. I love it. I get to blast music and sing along. Although, I should be doing my project and studying. I'm really nervous for my music independent project. I wish I had remembered to bring my violin home.


When Dary and I were talking Thursday night, we both agreed this week had gone by super fast. Then we started wondering if time does actually collectively speed up. It's not just when you're having fun that it goes fast. I think time might actually slow itself down and then speed up whenever it wants. Like, those times when there were a lot of geniuses and many discoveries (like the Renaissance) they just had more time, and those times we think of as "Stupid years" (At this point, Darcy went "Yeah, like the 1920s!" I'm not quite sure why) just didn't have as much time. We always say those who accomplish a lot use their time well. But what if it's time that's using them? I remember talking to Kelsey and Erin the summer after my sixth grade year (they would've been just out of, um, freshman year, i think), and we all agreed that that year was really speedy. Maybe that's when our present age started losing time. But what is time anyways? planet movements? our clocks? numbers? I never thought numbers could completely describe something. For example, when someone says "I saw two people." There's so much more to those people than the fact that they were standing together. So maybe time has something else to it besides the numbers we try to capture it in. Like, some insane need to speed up and slow down willy nilly. What do you think?

I'm pretty excited for Le Trois's mock wedding this summer. I think Lydia's house would be a good place. Her parents wouldn't be that bad at all. Will Don might attack people with his fake gun, but you know, things like that happen. haha. Like when he tried to smother me with a pillow. Ah, good times.

Well, I really have to do that project! How about a quick list? Um, thinking, thinking, thinking-favorite English words?

1. Serendipity-Fun to say, comforting meaning
2. Catywampus-such a folksy word. my mom uses it all the time. I can't believe you grew up in Indiana and never heard it until me. Though, I guess your parents were raised further North, so it's really not your fault.
3. Superfluous-I love saying it. It just tastes good.
4. Notion-A Sadaka favorite

Perhaps is also a nice one, especially in the the song.





PS. It's interesting that you klutziness decided to reassert itself in a chocolate shop. Maybe it loves breakable things?
