A whole lotta weird s&%! going on.

So.

I hate DBQ's especially since I think I do a pretty good effort and then I always wind up getting C's on them. Poopy. So I didn't go to school cuz my ear hurt a bit and I hadn't finished my assignment due today. Mom took it into the office during the noon hour.

I got this in an email from a prospective college:

Imagine jumping in the car and driving for 5 hours to visit a school, only to find out that the only thing that's happening on campus is a lecture on the importance that underwater sculpture played in 18th century Bulgarian society.

They said that that would suck. I don't think so. I'd be fascinated to find out how they worked together. So I am absolutely not going to go to that college because they're not eccentric like me. Well I can be eccentric sometimes. Really. I'm not all books and theorms. Please.

Then this morning I saw the weirdest TV show on PBS. It kinda looked like Teletubbies except there were these Dancing, jumping marshmallow people and little kids appearing randomly say "Look what I can do!" Good for you, Susie; you can pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time. You'll be Secretary of Defense for sure now. And they kept saying "Ba-boo" or something. I'm gonna call them oompaloompas because I like Wonka candy.

Ba boo!

What is this world coming to? When no one cares about Bulgaria and marshmallow people roam the land. Actually they kinda looked like Marshmallow Peeps people if they made mrshmallow peeps people.

I'm afraid to know what's next.

Rooting for the Losers

So, yeah, we elected for the seniors and the winner is .... drummroll..... BOND PARTY by 10! Here's how it went down (I think):

1. Bond- 43 votes
2 (tie) Delta
Bueler - 33 votes each
4. Jive- 12 votes
5. Mario Party- 7.

I voted for Mario. I don't regret it. I know they didn't oblige in terms of the website and the video, but I loved their platform. When we do this whole procedure next year, I wanna be just like them.

But I think McAndrew was upset. In his long career at UHS, this is only his, like, 2nd loss to Ms. Gray's classes (his parties were Mario and Delta.)

I wonder who the other 6 Mario supporters were. I know Leonore Miller voted, but who else? Hey, it's cool being a part of the minorty.

And now it's time for the MITCHY awards for what I thought of the whole schpeel.

Best advertising: Delta. Jive came in a close second. I loved the butterfly picture and anything about the infamous Connie Harris is worth xtra points. Michael Jackson's "gradual change" deterred me a bit, but overall I thought they best portrayed their theme.

Best video: Jive. Bond a close second. The jive video was so simple, so artistic (I loved the thing with the trains going one way and the person running the other way). They are listening. That was at the end, but they cut it off prematturely in a couple classes I heard. Lacked communication there. The bond video was cool. Clay, the prez, actaully owns that Mercedes or whatever it was, and like 2 other luxury cars. Honorable mention for Bueller for getting all the teachers to boogie.

Best last second effort: Mario all the way. Saying they lost their video due to a loss in transmission, they opted for a 2 minute flash clip "Mario Twins" look around on the internet. You'll find it.

Best Debate appearance: tie between Bond and Delta. The rainbow thingy with the fabric was cool, and the bar scene for Bond was stylistic.

Best debators: Mario. Renee and Kareina and Katrina were very cool, collected, and ready to stake their post and attack others. Too bad they weren't questioned, though. That's the problem with not putting yourself out there enough.

Best Howard Dean actalike award: Bueller. After the shocking claim by Jive that theywere Communist, they lost a lot of support. Before the debates I thought Bueller would win hands down. Afterwards, it was between them and Bond with Delta not too far behind.

Who should've won: Overall, I think Delta should've won. THey put in the most effort.

So now we get to do it next year. Yippee. I wanna be the Mr. T Party

"I pity the foo' who don't vote for me"

I HATE DBQ's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She said yes and now I owe her four bucks

So I asked this mystery person, which I can now easily say it was Jeanne in case someone still dind't know. And she said yes! SWEET! So now we're gonna go to prom (when is it? Anyone?). But I don't kinda know if she wants to kinda take this somewhere or if she's only doing this as a friend.

It was so perfectly setup, like a Kodak moment. We were right by the ice cream machine and the sun had come out of the clouds during conference hour.

Oh boy. Can't go back now. Hold my nose and dive in!

This friend...

So I've got this friend. She's well known. You all know her. I don't think she reads this blog. Anywho, I was wondering if thru the magic that is mutual friends if I could find out if this friend was available for, say, prom. You know I'm not really the type who'll go up to this person and say "Hey! Wanna go to prom?" Just testing the waters, so to speak. She goes to APCHAM and takes physics early in the morning. O, I don't k-bow if you need any more hint hints (hint hint) but I'm sleepy so I'll try anything once. So, if she available, those of you who know her better than me?

Math Test Tomorrow Yippee!

So tomorrow is the much anticipated AMC 12 for us juniors and seniors out there in the world and the AMC 10 for freshymen and sophomores. But I'm special; I took the AMC 12 last year as a sophomore and scored a 136 out of 150 or something like that. Anyway, it was high. So now I BETTER score higher than last year otherwise I'll look kinda stupid. BUt I just need 100 to take the AIME.

Yeehah!

I have to go find my lucky lucky Mr. Goodbar pencil. It helped me a lot last year. But I haven't seen it since the move over the summer. It smells like chocolate. Yay! Endorphins. Got it in 8th grade and I better have it or else I'll be very very sad.

See y'all I'm figgering at nine-ish.

Just a question...

So I know all my regular readers have their own blogs (Annie, Elise, Alice, Todd and Joe I think, etc.) and you guys are always talking about what you're listening to. HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH MUSIC???!??!?!?! I mean it's like: pick any song I can think of- Pefect, Stayin' Alive, Beethoven's 14th symphony with his friend Sam on the leading flute whom he met at a pizza place in E minor- and one of yous has it. To quote my archnemesis, "Golly gee willikers!" Where do you guys hear all this stuff? Is it on internet or Napster or something? Do I seriously need a CD burner considering I have about... 10 CD's of mine to burn? I don't know. I mean, I like music just as much as the other guy, but where lie your vast databases? Can you share?

Not that bad

So I saw the ...pictures... that we had to look at for Friday, and well, they weren't that bad. Yeah, it's not cool that they died, and it was a tad unnerving that it was as late as 1933, but in the end maybe I've just been desensitized to tihs type of stuff. There was this Mexican news magazine at the Fiesta supermarket, and they were showing these news reports of murders and stuff with all the blood coming out of the ears and the drying and the stickyness and, well, maybe they were enhanced and stuff but the point was clear. It's not that bad if you haven't checked it out that. So do it already at www. musarium.com and "without sanctuary". Go to Flo's site for the specifics.

A Talk With Andrew

So last Friday I went to the school drama miscellaneous production thingy. Basically, the advanced kids did something they wanted. Monologue, musical number. That sort of stuff. And it was great. Brush up your Shakespeare and the women you will wow. Good ideas, dude. But I noticed that they had Charles Kelly do my part; they just couldn't deviate too far from the original masterpiece, I guess :)

But then some people did a revamped pplay of a student-written one-act written and performed last year. I was in it last year. I had to basically watch something I was a part of, and it was awkward. Mainly because I'm not in drama right now, you know. Stupid driver's ed. But watching it made me realize how much I missed the whole drama thing. The lights and the curtain and singing "I Will Survive" backstage before the show last year and all of it. Again, Greenie and I never entirely saw eye to eye, but I did drama for the thrill and not because of the teacher. Mom was wondering why I put up with her for so long, but I think it was worth it.

So now I'm a a dilemma. Should I audition for next year? I'm sure I'd get in advanced, but the main qquestion is do I feel up to it and a typical senior class schedule, including pounds of college applications. Should I compromise pain for pleasure? I don't know. Seriously, I just wanted to take Govt, English, Spanihs, MAYBE one math or science and that's it. I don't know.

Oh yeah, about the title. I know this might sound weird, but I think some kind of spirit/ghost/aura folowed me home aftrer the performance. I kept hearing this sounds of rocks behind me. I look behind; no one's there. So I don't know what it was but I started this conversation with this dude. Said his name was Andrew or Greg or something like that. Died when he was 17 in a car crash or something. He wasn't trying to tell me anything; think he was just lonely. So I let himside and he hungaround for a while. THen I got distracted and I think he left. Again, I don't know how of of this really makes any sense, but that's what happened so there the end.

It's almost like meeting the flintsones.

So I finally went to Bedroxx, that new bowling place on the NW side, and it's not bad. Chaotic and full of little kids, oh yeah. But it was cool. They've got one of the variations of DDR, called Pump It up, and it's HARD! Because it has.... drumroll.... 5 buttons to step on! But it was all in good fun. Bowled 108, 100, 116 with bumpers on.

Just letting you guys know I do have a life sometimes, even if it's with your parents and because you were forced to go, but that's a different story.

So far, I'm leaning towards Mario Party, though I know nothing of any of the platforms (for the senior class govt. project, of course)
