one more for the road.
I have another Mountain Dew this morning. I have a story aboout Mt. Dew; but, before that: My struggle to find a good internet prank for April Fool's Day.
I'm sitting in the same classroom again[no, I don't have to go to before/after care anymore. It was awful. No teenagers ever come to school early--besides my sister, our friend and I--and so, it's all these little kids running around screaming. This early in the morning, it's awful...] But, we remembered that it's April Fool's Day, today. At first the only 'prank' I was going to play was I was going to throw my cell phone at Muffin; because he was being mean about the Cubs' loss last night. [Stupid Brewers] And so, we're trying to figure out how to get back at him. I then had the genius idea to play a prank on my internet friends...my original idea was to say I got my leg cut off in a freak train accident last night...ever.so.silently told me to say Napoleon died again. Which would be believable... She also told me to say she died. But, alas, I could not thing of a convincing Apirl Fool's Day prank. I suck at pranks. Sorry, so you guys don't get anything fun.
And here's my Mountain Dew story. It's dedicated to toxictherapy, because she might remember doing this. We used to have a 'Drama Class', I don't think that's what it was called--but, I'll call it that. Anyway, we did human videos [a drama skit thing to music] in that class. We did some serious ones. [Like the one where everyone had cancer...and the one where I was the abusive mother....but, that's beside the point: back to the story] We did one called "Addicted to Mountain Dew". If memory serves the song was by the Christian rap artist KJ52 [FYI I hate rap of any kind...not that I have anything against people who like it, it's just not my favourite kind of music...] anyways, the whole premise of this human video was that we were in this support group for Mountain Dew addicts. We all had to be twitching or something like that. One of our classmates was the 'doctor' who was trying to help us. In the end one of the people in our group grabbed a can of Mt. Dew from behind his chair and tried to make a break for it; while we chased after him trying to steal away his caffinated beverage. It was a very fun human video. Sort of. XD But, I told this story because timechaser said I should join a support group. [laughs]
So...who likes baseball? I like to watch it on TV. I'm terrified of playing it--I have horror stories that ended in one long, bloody trip to the dentist's office. Last night was the season opener at Wrigley Field!! I watched up until the 7th inning before I had to leave for ballet class...apparently I left right before all the action started. Crap. Anyways, at least we [the Cubs] lost in overtime. It's not so bad, then... I'm now a fan of the new Japanese player, Kosuke Fukudome. He's a beast. When he hit his first double my sister and I were screaming at the television.. Ha.
Crap. It's time for school. Gotta go, have a good day everybody!
back to school...someone shoot me now
So much for Spring Break. It's gone--and I didn't even get to enjoy it, thanks to my now-absent wisdom teeth. So, my spring break pretty much died because I was comatose for about the first half of it. And then, when I actually was lucid I didn't have Napoleon. Then I got Napoleon and things started to pick up...but that was around Thursday; so I really only had 3 or 4 good days. And now, here I am sitting in one of the classrooms [avoiding contact with anyone else] blogging. That's the good thing about being one of the teacher's kids...I don't have to be stuck in 'Before Care' [care for children before school hours...it's as close to hell on earth as anything gets] so I get to comondeer one of the classrooms and therefore have access to the internet via Napoleon. Unfortunately since Napoleon's near-death experience in early-February; he's lost pretty much everything he knew how to do. So I have to re-teach it to him. Like signing on AOL broadband. I was ready to set that up here at school this morning; but, Napoleon wouldn't have any of that. He won't recognize that he's hooked up to the cable. [Stupid laptop] So, I have to use the craptastic Internet Explorer. Which is how I'm updating now. Unfortunately it's too much of a hastle for my lazy-bum self to go to the AOL website so I can check my email..so toxictherapy, if you're reading this, and you've sent me email: I'm sorry I haven't responded yet, I'll have to wait until I get home this afternoon or until someone more technically-inclined gets here to help me with my internet issues. This internet explorer also puts a damper on my plans of downloading iTunes... Because I was going to be able to open that window in AOL minimize it and then go on with my business--but, no. I can't because Internet Explorer is crappy. Argh.
It's 8:22 in the morning and I'm already drinking Mountain Dew...I've dissapointed myself. I said I wasn't going to use it as a crutch anymore; but, here I sit...it faithfully by my side. In my defense, however, it is my first day back to school and knowing how nasty my day will most likely be [on my scale it'd probably be a 3 candy bar day] I'm drinking this lovely beverage.
What's this?! Another student [besides my sister and I, this girl, comes here early with one of the other teachers so she sits in this classroom with ever.so.silently and I] just came in and said that one of the elemetary school's teachers is outside with multiple boxes of Krispy Kream donuts. My suggestion was to go attack him and steal said donuts. None of us seems inclined to do that, though. I want a donut. This is when my laziness and my need for sugary-sweet things collides. Get a donut? Stay here and blog? It's almost as hard as choosing which college to go to... [laughs] I'm such a wierdo.
Alrighty, you guys. I hope ya'll have a good day [better than mine at least] and I hope that you enjoy this last day of March! Have a blessed one!
Rant Warning Proceed with Caution
I had the best day I've had in weeks. Went to go see toxictherapy; so that was really fun. I haven't actually seen any friends in a long time [spring break is really lonely] and so, it was good to see her.
Anyways, as I said I'm going to rant...so just click the back button if you don't want to read. Anyways, apparently in Mexico they're having anti-emo rallies. I found out about this while watching G4...[yes, I watch G4] and they were saying something about how there had been anti-emo rallies in Mexico City and another city that I don't remember the name of. I was really upsetted by this. I like emo people. I guess some people don't like the 'style' or the 'attitude'; but that's stupid...we don't hold anti-prep rallies. We should; but, we don't. I mean why argue with the way someone chooses to dress or act.
I'm done ranting...
Update on TBM
I posted this on my other world...but I don't think anyone actually reads my other world...so I'll put it here, too.
I find it interesting that when I'm really gung-ho about one project something compeletly new comes in and sweeps me off my feet. So, here's the deal: I was originally planning on tweaking my 80+ page epic 'The Broken Music'. I wanted to make it more coherent in parts. It switches perspectives a lot. Like you're walking along the road with one character and they happen to look down a random alley and see a 'shadow' that is another character so the story then is told by what that new character sees. It's not very coherent but I liked it that way. It's confusing in some parts--a lot of the character's back stories has remained unwritten; because I've never really had a place to put them. So it makes sense to me, and my sister likes it; but, I've told her almost everyone's back story so she knows what's going on... But, I beg the question would it make sense to anyone else?
I ask this because another project has now sucked out my soul. I'm writting something entirely different from TBM [new characters and everything!] and it's a lot better than TBM. I'm not sure if I'll ever post this new story. Because some crazy part of me fantasizes about someday getting this new story published. TBM was never intended to be published. It was just written about one specific year in my characters' lives. Some people showed interest in TBM, and I was flattered, so I don't want to disappoint... I'm still willing to post it here. I'd love to get feedback on it. I started writing it as a short story [to go along with the crap-load of other short stories I've written about these poor characters] and it got way out of hand. I wanted so badly to tell their stories, so I just wrote it.
Now here's the deal: I'll post it. Even if one person shows interest in it; I'll post it. Unfortunately it probably won't be very coherent and it's crappily edited. So do you still want to read it? I'm sorry that I won't be working on it much now....but, I hope you'll forgive my laziness and still want to read it!
Can you say, PARTY?!
I have a question:
What's smallish, gray, has been gone a very long time, but now has a shiny new modem, and shares a name with a short, French, military leader?!?!

Anyways, my day was interesting. Mom decided that my sister and I had been convelesing long enough so today was a shopping day. Not just an ordinary shopping day: a DRESS shopping day. Yes, I had to go prom dress shopping. And I swear I tried on more than twenty dresses. It was exhausting! But, I finally found a dress. It's all black, except for the straps and this bow-thing around the waist which are magenta. I love it. My mom was amazed that I actually bought something with pink in it. My sister also got a dress--but being the negligent little sister that I am, I already have forgotten what it looks like. I think it's bluish... I dunno, I keep bothering her because I think she needs to go find a tie in a matching colour and force her boyfriend into wearing said tie. If I ever find me a man I'm making him match my dress.
We found one that was brown and had swirlys [yes, 'swirlys' is the technical term] on it, that both my mom and sister exclaimed: "IT LOOKS LIKE YOU!!" I, of course, had no idea what either of them were talking about. So I--stupidly--asked. They said it fit my personality. Apparently my personailty is swirly. Though, the word's too close to 'surly' for my comfort. My sister said I was 'surly' though. I'm not surly...am I?
The day also was nice, because I got some good clearance items from Hot Topic. And I got a cinnimon bun and some vanilla iced coffee. I loves me some nice iced coffee. XD
