just another playa in ur game for two
Alright, so I feel like I have a lot to say, so I am going to say it.
First things first, end of freshman year. This year hasn't really had any highlights for me, 9th grade camp is and will probably be one of the greatest experiences of my life, thats for sure, but I think thats all I can say about 9th grade. A lot less drama in my life, I tried just goin with the flow and not steppin on anyones toes, and I think i pretty much did so. I made some awesome friends along the way, and realized a lot about some people after labeling them under a misapprehension!
I will pull a Gabrielle and talk about each of my classes cuz i think it will take a lot of my chest:
Bio- cnt help but smile when thinking about bio with ol' margy! danielle..this class would have been absolute shit without you (and jesse, my hott steamy lover....right)..haha o Lord..i'll surley never forget it!
spanish- didnt mind lehv, i liked her most of the time..it was a tough class but who can complain i mean i had alex and adam on each side of me!
english- hmm one of the more irritating teachers, but hayy thats over and done with..i liked the ppl in the class!
global- holy crap cant say n e thing bad about this class.ok xcept for maybe Will being in it..but sexy sexy ALTER<3 and dorina and cheri and gersh's notes, or NOTE made it the best for sure hehe
math- i did really well in math! i improved so much and am obsessed w. mrs a..she is my life and beyond! we bffs
studio art- hah! o God..enough said there!! i'll miss that whore for sure!!!
As far as myself changing as a person goes, I'd say I learned a ton about myself. My whole style and aspect on school and life in general took a 180 degree turn..and for the better. I reasoned a lot of nights with myself about my priorities and although nothings ever set in stone, I'm glad about where I am at right now. Not only did i realize more about my own self, but about those around me and i learned to deal with situations differently.
As for the upcoming years I can only wish for the best. If I were to be with any group of people throughout my whole high school career, i wouldnt change a thing. Everyone of you guys is special to me and is givin me one more wrinkle on my face for when im older cuz of the smile i get seeing you every day! ilu all
The class of oh seven is the shit and will stay that way till the end of time.
God Bless,
<3Briggs<---

yet another EXTREMELY embarassing moment....
i come out of the english final and im walking in the breezeway. i decide to be cool and just cut onto the grass and get out of the breezeway, but of course i fail to see those stupid yellow ropes that the stupid gardeners put up to make u not walk on the grass and my sandal gets caught and i trip and fall on my face, my glasses go flying, and i get grass stains all over my knees and palms....worst part of all: all the little 8th graders were standing there and all saw and they laughed at me. one particular person (samara hart cough, cough) laughed so loud and pointed at me. what a bitch, jeez, its not like shes never tripped before. uggh. the little alben was the only one nice enough to ask me if i was okay, hes nice, i know him from stage crew. whatevs, theyre just our stupid "little sevies".
ive yet to decide if that embarassing incident tops the time when my bathing suit top fell off and i didnt notice.
im not having a good week in terms of klutziness, i fell down the stairs yesterday morning lol.
english final wasnt so bad, ive had a massive headache since this morning though. as i do more math problems for tomorrow i find myself dreading the final less and less. what frustrates me the most is that i can do as many math problems as i want at home and get them all right, and then as soon as i take the test, i make STUPID mistakes (i.e.:2x4=6) [yes, u make fun now, but ive actually done that....a few times. lol] maybe if i just pay more attention ill have flawless work tomorrow. i would love that.
english. math. italian. global. spanish.
ONE DOWN 4 to go.....summer, here i come :)

Tis Ova
Today was strange. It really didn't hit me that it was the LAST time for going to my classes this year. All the things I was worried about or thought about regarding school, are just--over. As I mentioned a few posts down, it's been a crazy year.
But this post is here to discuss the more school parts of school. My work has been very consistent this year.
Earth Science: Ha. Mr. Weiner=horrible teacher but great guy. He's so nice. I feel bad for him, he's tortured. The class was fine though.
Spanish: Ugh. Mrs. Lehv could be nice but she could be a total bitch. It was by far the most I ever worked in Spanish and I'm thrilled to get out of that class and very much look forward to Mr. Thoren :)
English: Sproulean. Loved her, hated her, loved her, hated her. As Kate would say "You start to like her again, and then she wears a Polo shirt and Coach belt and you hate her again." She is SO Charlotte from Sex&The City
Global: Best, best, best class ever. So entertaining. Not just that, but Mrs. Kuklis is the best teacher I have EVER had. Her dedication and time spent just trying to make us want to learn is unbelievable. And she had to put up with us. I respect her soooo much and wish I could have her every year. It was a pleasure and relief to have a teacher like her.
Math: I did very well this year with Ms. A. I'm really happy I have her next year.
Ceramics/Studio Art: Some great memories. Gonna miss the Joan.
And to my girls: S/E/K/J: Best friends a girl can ask for. So many memories. Lysm. B: it's been a bumpy road but I still cherish our friendship with all my heart. Love you more than you know. E/D: So glad we got closer this year. Love you. {EMSSMCKKEELLJHN}<--some oldies, some newies.. Love you girls...thanks for the laughs and for always being there. Guys too...thanks for the crazy moments...sab: greatest seniors ever, thanks for all the advice.
And while I read some of your posts and hear what people have to say, I was wondering about the whole closure issue. I think it's going to get harder each year actually. It just comforts me to know that I have worked to become the best person, student and friend I can be. And as weird as today was, that's closure for me. But if you don't feel closure, just remember sophomore year is just 3 months away and you can always just pick up where you left off. But I think everyone is happy this year is over. I think we can all agree in saying its been insane for all of us. Just be proud of all you've accomplished. As Brig pointed out to me, we're halfway through our times at Edgemont, enjoy it and live it up.
Great, just got Professor Snape. Dammit. Now I have to worry about it during finals and Boston. UGH. No wonder I took a 2 hour nap today. ERGH!!! Frustration alert.
and now, I must go study for finals..Oh God...it's not THAT over. Ha.
*goodbye freshmen year...it's been real

--heres to freshman year--
so thats it. thats really it huh? just a regular day, regular classes, regular people, regular stuff....and then you find yourself cleaning the crap out of your locker and throwing it into a huge white garbage bag, only in hopes of being able to lug it to your car without the bottom falling out and having your papers fly all over the parking lot. somehow, i seems surreal, i mean, dont get me wrong, i couldnt be any happier that its over, but it just didnt feel like the last day. theres was just no sense of closure to me, and i like to have that. i helps me to feel like its completed, and that theres no "unfinished business", as cliche as that sounds. anyway tomorrows the english final. i think ill be okay with that. all in all i think this years "end" if its even worthy of that name, has been pretty good. im saving my whopper of a woohu for after finals when i can reflect on my friends and yearly issues, so keep ur eyes out, its comin up :)

So my little fiesta seemed to be a success. I'm so happy to hear that people enjoyed themselves. I really did too. It was fun just listening to those songs come on and people like looking around to find people that they have a joke with about the song or something...it really brings people together. I love those/you girls so much. We're all so different and I just think we have such a good grade and I love having all of us together.
Belmont Stakes was extremely sad. I thought he won. I was so upset :( Poor Smarty. Damn Mexi haha Kate.
2 days left...wow. Craziness. I studied a bit today, yay! I have a good week ahead: 2 days of school, 2 finals...and only 3 of those days do I have to get up early which is a WONDERFUL thing for me. (math final at 12:30..I know some people hate that but it's like my savior)
Thursday is my cousin's business school graduation, so after the math final my Dad and I are gonna fly up to Boston (since the final is at 12:30 we can't make the ceremony...I could've rescheduled the final but I just didn't want to) and we'll have dinner with the fam and spend the night. I'm excited but a little worried since I'll probably be missing the whopper global review.
I'm so excited for these upcoming few weeks before everyone leaves...They're gonna be a blast.

last night in the city with all the girls was so much fun. i needed to go out and have fun with friends after yesterday, it really took my mind off my issues. bubba gump had quite the staff...dancing around and spilling ice all over the place, it was lots of fun. i didnt get a tee shirt though, i just thought i would never wear it, and it was my money, oh well. the ride there and back was really fun though, listening to all those songs from the elementary school days really makes u think about how much we've all changed, and how time really goes by fast. its kinda sad actually, i, like lauren, have a major problem with change. its something ive struggled with my whole life, and probably will for the rest of it.
i mainly studied today. uggh finals can suck my ass, thats all i have to say.
gabi and joannas cd is my life
and so is briggette
and so is josh :) im expecting a call from him soon...yay!
thats all for now, xoxo

:: Music: i will remember you- sarah mclachlan
so we have two days left....my mind is already on vacation.
thats it. im done. despite the fact that i still have 2 more days to put in, my mind has decided to be done for weeks, but i never realized that it could take such a toll on you mentally. im sick of this over-achieving town. im sick of report cards. im sick of tests, homework and those stupid award ceremonies. im sick of the people who start bugging out when they get a 98.
today was the worst day ever. i honestly bombed that math quiz, and that was my last chance for a b. i have a b minus, WITH THE PAPER AND THE BONUS PROBLEM. what happened to me? i used to be good at this. ive been so lazy lately, i cant even remember the last time i studied for a math quiz, not because i didnt need to (obviously i do, ive gotten c's on my past 3 quizzes) but just out of pure, unmistaken laziness. i have no motivation, what happened to me?
i sit here reprinting my newly revised stupid math bonus paper which she said "wasnt good enough" and doing the bonus problem. i came home and cried. i cried walking from math to italian....and it wasnt necessarily for my grade. it was for me. i used to be so motivated and so "study study study"....not anymore. i honestly dont know where that spirit went, but i wish i had it back. i wish i werent lazy, i need this b, so god help me: ms. a, please, have a heart. she saw me cry. i hate when teachers see me cry. maybe these 8 bonus points will bring it to a low b. any b will do.....any b at all.
i hate awards. i feel like i bust my ass for a whole year and i dont get recognized for it, when other people who are "naturally smart" and do nothing but get a+'s anyway the whole time get a certificate. i hate those people, u should have to work to do well. its so damn competitive. and i hate that i let it get to me. uggh god, thats it. please let me have the strength to make it through the end of this freshman year without breaking down....i cant afford to do that.
xoxo-danielle
ps- please disregard this entry if it offended anyone at all, im just blowing off steam. no harm meant.

...I'm cold and I am shamed bound and broken on the floor
Yeah, so the yearbook isn't wonderful but I think it's still cute and I'm obsessed with it.
Yanks are kicking ass lately...quite happy about that.
I've basically quit school. I'm really not doing any work, at all. I'm really winding down when everyone is supposed to be gearing up. Haven't done anything and haven't started studying for finals. I know people think I'm probably exaggerating...But I'm really not at all. It's really quite bad.
I'm excited for mi fiesta tomorrow. I totally forgot about it and people are like reminding me, and I'm like wow already? It should be fun. It's just weird because my birthday isn't for three months and people are gonna be like "happy birthday!" and I'm gonna be like what?
I should be going to the awards but I'm not. The thing is that I know I have a PTSA award but I don't know about academics (last year they didn't tell me I was getting one and I ended up getting two...quite scary) So, I'm not gonna go and sit there for 2 hours and only get one or two awards...It's not that important to me anyway. I set my own standards and it's nice that the school recognizes them but I'm proud of myself for my accomplishments even if it means that I have one too many B's for an award or just enough. And it's kind of hurtful. People should be proud of themselves for acheiving their own goals and it's really kind of a self esteem knocker when nobody in the school seems to care and it's all about A's, A's, A's.
So, that seems to be sufficient for today. I must go figure out a way to study.
Peace, enjoy the sun
Much Love<3Gabs

wow, i havent updated in a really really long time
wow, i really havent. ive just had this major woohu dry spell, theres soo much to say, i just cant sit down and type it. ive been a lazy potato lately. sigh.
today was yearbook day, and not to echo erica, but i must say, i was a tad disappointed. i mean yea, it was a good yearbook, but some how i was expecting something GREAT......and some how it wasnt. its just not the same without the annual ugly disgust-o blow up picture of me, they were all normal. wat a change of pace. so i went to the doctor today. i was stressing out, MAJOR, but thats nothing new, as u all know, im not a fan. i had a lovely sharp fresh syringe filled with tetnus fluid to look forward to. i went and it wasnt all that bad, i didnt even cry this time. thats honestly one of the very few times thats happened, considering i was practically working myself to tears just picturing dr berman holding the syringe. ahh god, i cant even think about it now, i did get a really cool circus bandaid though :) and the next time i have to get a shot is before college THANK GOD, ive got a couple of years to be stress free before my check ups...wow thats a releif. they have pink finger prickers, they were pretty. thats pretty much all, that writers block thing is still happening which is why this entry totally sucked ass biznacthhhh. i hope i get my writing back before schools over, i need my yearly refelction to be a good one. im out for now, gunna go admire my circus bandaid, it has the cutest seals on it :P
***wow, im really unproductive lately, i didnt even fix this ugly woohu...ick, ill do it later, needa go take some tylenol, tetnus is a bitch :( :(

Happy 150th Entry Woohu!
Yes so a few weeks ago I stumbled across the fact that this is the 150th entry of my woohu. I decided to build on that and do a little commemeration. So this will be a combination of end of the year post/150th woohu post. It's been almost a year...and 150 posts...wow thats like a little less than half of the year I posted...wow what a loser I am, lol. But a lot of my posts were just stupid little short ones that didn't need to exist.
Rather than just talk about the most important parts of my year I went back in time and picked out the posts that highlighted my life the past year. Some of these posts were crucial moments in my life, some I just liked and thought were cute:
June 10, 2003: First Post
June 12: That post about being grateful...I got a bitch comment about it (I will find you biatch!) but I'm still proud of it.
June 16: End of 8th grade post...I've changed so much and my end of the year state of minds have altered a lot since then.
June 23: Criteria for friends--that was cute.
August 24: Highlight of summer (by the numbers) That summer was excellent.
Aug 25: Dad's horse Carson Hollow Dies. This was a big deal for me.
Oct 19: Aaron Boone--'nuff said. KP, BS, GA at the mall..never forget that lol. I talked about people I didn't like. That's changed a lot. I like everyone now.
Oct 26: This one must have annoyed the crap out of everyone, but I'm proud of it.
Nov 19: My community service project--big deal to me...Split moods.
Nov 29: Grandma...that was a big part of the year.
Dec 3: Private Post.
Dec 16: Angry at cousin.
Dec 22: I thought I was going to die on the airplane, yeah, silly me.
Jan. 7, 2004: Conscience Vs. Heart..went with heart, thought it was wrong but in the long run I'm glad I did what I did.
Jan 15: Important part of my year... :)
Jan 31, Feb 2, 4: Grandpa passes away. This was quite a part of my year.
Feb. 21: St. Thomas
Feb 27: Frost Valley
March 3: Covers many emotional problems I had in the year that I've fixed.
March 9: My crazy family
March 17: Terrorism
Mar 21: The play!!!
March 23: I just thought it was funny...I got sick so much this year like usual.
March 31: Yet another turning point in the year...I was also doubting some friends
April 10: cute questonairre
Apr 12: Wawi...I <3 her.
April 17: Tito night...Though I got in trouble--wouldn't have changed it for the world.
May 15: <3 this quote
May 13: Spice Girls foreverrrr.
wow....that's it. I have the most posts in this little community we have (though many people deleted their journals) And I know people think lj's are for attention starved people (ahem, we def. aren't) but I'm not going to stop updating because this woohu has taught me so much about myself...and I love our community. I feel like we're all there for each other and even though we may not all hang out it's like we have this secret special bond somehow. It's weird to know that other people are reading our journals besides you guys.
This year has been insane. It's been THE year. This year changed my life like no other. I've had many "firsts" many "lasts", a death, getting caught, new friends, becoming a better person. It's all been just insane. I can't believe and comprehend how much I've changed. And I have to thank the girls who changed with me or the ones who didn't and managed to still handle me. I love you guys with all my heart. (But I will do a more specific end of the year post next week where I'll get into that stuff)
So, thank you woohu for being a place where I can learn about myself, learn about other (awesome!) people, and express my thoughts. This journal has helped me more ways than I realize. And thank you to my other woohuers for making me laugh and supporting me. I love you all.
So, signing off...Gabrielle
