An update of epic proportions
I never update anymore.
Ben got a new car. I named it Julio Hernandez because Julio, according to him, wasn't cool enough for such a kick butt POS.
Ben and I were supposed to do Race for the Cure today but we got lost. Well, we knew where we were, we just didn't know how to get to the mall.
So at 9, we finally ended up where we knew we were but it was far too late to drive 40 minutes to be late, not run and get free food.
We went and woke up Katie at 10:15. I pounced on her bed. She miaowed. It was great.
For a long while, we sat around not doing anything. I played with Ben's hair and gave him a lazy back massage. Katie gave him a non-lazy back massage and we both just laid around Ben.
Ben and I headed back to his house since Katie needed to get up and do chores since her German buddy Janina came today.
Ben's mommy (who I lurve to death) made Ben and I PB&J samiches and Ben and I went to see Without a Paddle because we were up and about anyway.
That is an odd movie. I liked the mountain man. Dr. Hobo-esque.
Ben and I headed back to his house, played on his computer and watched I Love the 90's before he had to go to work and took me home.
I ate brownies that Hannah and Buddy made, ate dinner and just got done watching Smoke Signals so Ashley and Kelly don't kill me on Monday. That's a good movie. I hope the book is half as good.
I have to write 9 (handwritten) pages on any book or whatever for AP Lit by Monday. I have a paper for Japanese due Wednesday. I have some Physics Concepts crap due Monday but I forgot my Physics book so I'll have to do that on Monday morning. Shayna and I are going to try to get together tomorrow to practice our stupid Japanese crap. Our presentations are stupid fashion shows like we did in French 1. I dress up on Wednesday and Shayna describes what I wear. Shayna dresses up on Thursday and I describe what she wears.
Blah blah blah.
I don't update much anymore and I'd apologize but it's not important and I don't care. I don't comment much either but it's not important and you shouldn't care.
You know I love you, you know I care about you.
Amanda broke her ankle. It makes me sad. I don't see her much. I wonder if she can drive...
Nick's working until 10, Ben's working until 9:30/10, Janina (which is a beautiful name) is here so Katie and her family are probably all busy fussing over her.
She comes to school on Monday. Rock hard.
I'm going to go to the Homecoming football game probably. Not the dance unless Janina wants to go maybe.
Blah blah.
I love you all.
How do we forgive our fathers?
Maybe in a dream.
Do we forgive our fathers for leaving us too often or forever when we were little?
Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage or making us nervous because there never seemed to be any rage there at all.
Do we forgive our fathers for marrying, or not marrying our mothers, for divorcing, or not divorcing our mothers?
And shall we forgive them for their excesses of warmth or coldness?
Shall we forgive them for pushing or leaning, for shutting doors, for speaking through walls or never speaking, or never being silent?
Do we forgive our fathers in our age or in theirs?
Or in their deaths?
Saying it to them, or not saying it?
If we forgive our fathers what is left?

Which is fun, but this is uber-fun. I hope it works though. Especially my blood transfusion device. ƒº You all have to come see it. Well, most of you are working on it. But everyone has to see my blood transfusion! This show is going to be good, I think. I hope. It better be.
So I¡¦m working tonight. Closing box. Woo. :-P. It¡¦s going to be weird though. And that¡¦s that. I¡¦m shutting up now.

...I'm a poster girl with no poster...
I just had my first webcam whore moment.
I dropped a chocolate covered raisin on the computer chair. When I stood up, I saw that it melted.
Someone was watching the webcam which at that moment was pointed at the keyboard.
And I was afraid I had chocolate on my pants.
So I tipped the webcam down far enough that they hopefully didn't see anything.
And took off my pants to check.
It was exciting.
I love you all.

Colleges
Here's a quick update before I go back to homework because I haven't updated in about 2 weeks:
-First of all, I'm going to Homecoming...big shocker I know. I have my dress and everything...looking forward to that.
-Second, I'm thinking about colleges and where I want to go. I know all of you guys are thinking "But you're only a Junior, relax". Well, I want to have a good idea of what my grade point average SHOULD be and a good estimate to what test scores I should try to get to help ensure my admission to some college that I'll end up wanting to go badly.
I've already decided that I'm not even going to apply to U of I. I just don't want to go period. At first I figured I should apply anyway just as a safety or something since...well...it's not a terrible school. But after talking to Nick, I decided I'm not going to apply because IF I were accepted, I wouldn't want to go anyway so why waste the time and energy? So far I've only looked into one Illinois school and that's Millikin. I don't have much of an interest in ISU either because so many people want to go there and ::shrugs:: I guess I'm just not interested. Right about now, I wish I were smart enough to get into NYU. That would be like a dream come true. I decided I'm going to see how this year goes (so far it looks like I'll be able to pull up my GPA a little bit because I'm very motivated to work now) and see what my test scores are like and then...who knows...I might even apply. I mean, I don't anticipate in getting accepted but hopefully they'll take into concideration that I'm very active in school and that I do challenge myself enough that I'm not bored (I know that I'm not capable of taking all AP classes, so that's why I'm not taking any this year). And maybe my audition will impress them enough to accept me. Hopefully by then I'll be good enough...or at least have potential because I feel as though I'm not even close. I'm still working.
My main motivation in working in school right now is to raise my grades so I can get accepted to a good school. Certain colleges want a particular score or grade...or somewhere close and I now am serious enough to care. I realized how much I screwed myself over my freshman and sophomore year and now I need to pick up the slack and really work. ::Sigh::
I looked into Syracuse a little bit ago and I really liked it. That's a school I'm definitely going to look more into. :-)
Alright, to homework...then to crew. I feel kind of guilty because I ditched a couple days or left early. I constantly have schoolwork on my mind and how I need to get home and do work. Blah. And so I've decided, I'm going to spend most of Saturday at the library and start on my US history term paper and get all of my other homework done as well. I need to get into the habit of not saving my homework until Sunday night because I no longer have time then because of VOA rehearsals. ::Sigh::
Alright, I'm off for real now.
Always, Sandy

So yeah. I spent all day at Ryan's house. With his friends. Which was weird, I admit. All boys. Lol. Too much boy for one girl. Plus, it was kind of awkward. I don't think his friends like me too much. ::shrugs:: Not much you can do, I guess.
I ate pizza tonight though. :-) I'm uber proud of myself.
That brings me to my next point, if you know I haven't eaten all day and you see me refusing to eat, telling you I don't feel well, make me eat a little something, ok? Or just make me drink something. I'm not good at this.
Ok. that's that. Insanity. Weirdness. Football tomorrow. Woo.

Dreamtime
So I had this dream. It was weird. Jackie and I and Elisa were at school and Jackie offered to drive us home. But then she remembered she forgot her car at home. (?). So yeah. We had to walk to Elisa's house then to my house then Jackie was going to walk back to school.
Then Elisa turned kind of into Jill. And we were walking down Milwaukee and all these stores were there that I never saw before. Jackie told me it was because I never took the time to look for these stores, but they were always there. It was because I was walking instead of driving past them.
So we went into this one and it had all these weird dresses and such. Then we went into a christmas store and I started coughing up blood and the store owner told me to stop before I ruined her xmas decorations. So then we left and Jackie was complaining about walking back to school, so I told her my dad would drive her back. Then we got to my house and my dad wasn't there and everyone's stuff was gone except mine. So I figured they moved without me. But I really didn't care.
So yeah. That was that.

Yesterday Ben called me around 5:30 and said he pre-ordered Fable at 4 and was going to pick it up at 6.
So my little brother and I went over and hung out with Ben and Katie. We watched him play Fable and tried to give him some advice.
Fable smurfing rocks.
We might get Fable this weekend.
I got my picture taken in third hour today for being the "queen of algebra". I only got two problems wrong, three points. Mr. Hess lets us retake tests so I'm going to retake it for 100% on a math test for the first time in my life.
I think that's it really.
We had anime club today. King of Bandit Jing smurfing sucks. Don't watch it unless you can stand deus ex machina.
I have a Psych test on Friday and maybe a Physics Concepts test on Friday too. I'm going to French club tomorrow.

Quote of the day:
Commerce and art are always trying to make love with each other but sometimes commerce fucks art and leaves it feeling somehow cheapened.
My day was okay. Nothing really important to say.
My Intro to Algebra 2 teacher does this thing where the girl and the guy with the highest grade on a test get their picture taken wearing crowns and they become the "king and queen of algebra".
Guess who got the highest score?
We didn't have time today, so tomorrow me and some kid will get our pictures taken and Mr Hess'll hang them up on the wall until the next test.
I'm a little surprised that I got the highest score since math, especially algebra, is my worst subject. But it's just Intro to Algebra 2 and it was just a sort of review test anyway.
Blah blah blah.
I called Nick during lunch and left a message on his cell phone because I'm a dork.
In conclusion: I suck.
I love you all.

My brother asked his ex-girlfriend, Sam, to homecoming tonight. I had to drive him over to her house and my mom had bought special teddy bear shaped cookies, flowers, and a tiny stuffed animal for him to give her. So I watched from my car. She gave him three hugs. I laughed. Then he got in the car and i asked him if he still liked her. He said yes, even though they had gone out in like 7th grade.
"Actually, it was 6th and 7th" he said.
"Ah long term relationship" I laughed.
She broke up with him if i recall it correctly. She was a nice girl though...i can see them being one of those couples...the football player and cheerleader...and going out for like a few years. Scary.
Ah well it was cute.

My kitty is sick.
My Mickey.
My McHenry.
His fur is all greasy. He isn't cleaning himself and he's got kitty dandruff.
Remember when I talked about this before?
Well I mentioned it to my mom back then and she's noticing it a lot more now.
She said he's eating a lot and not gaining weight.
So she called the vet and made an appointment for tomorrow.
And googled his symptoms since my family hates not knowing.
We think he has hyperthyroidism.
A pill a day for the rest of his life or radiation something.
So of course they're thinking a pill a day.
And today my mom's car's check engine light went on.
And we're having trouble paying the bills.
So my dad said there's got to be a cut off point. We can't keep shoving money onto the cat. We did it once before when he had to have surgery.
So if it does end up costing a lot, we can't pay it.
So we might have to put him to sleep.
My kitty.
My McHenry.
The cat we got a few months after we moved here.
The cat I named.

I have a lot to say and I don't know if I'm going to remember to say it all.
Today is three months for me and Nick.
Last week, after our open house at school, my mom e-mailed my counselor saying that my Contemporary Lit class was really stupid and she was wondering if I could get out of it.
On Thursday during sixth hour, I got a counseling pass and after going down to the counseling office, a sheet that I needed my potential teacher and my Contemp Lit teacher to sign. After school, I got Mr. Watson to sign it so I could switch into AP Lit with him second hour. I don't really like Feeley so I delayed talking to him until Friday.
Friday morning. I went to see Feeley and he silently reprimanded me for not getting a purple sheet from him or talking to him about switching out. I took the sheet down to the counseling office and my new schedule.
To christen the schedule, Ben ripped off my locker number and combo from the top. I was supposed to start AP Lit that day and I did. Second hour, my first day in AP Lit, I took an in-class essay on a poem I read once before we had to write about it.
Looks like it'll be a fantastic class. Kelly, Nicole, Shayne, Ashley and a thousand other really cool and nice smart people are in that class.
Yesterday Ben was bored and wanted to do something so I asked my mom if I was still grounded. She said no but my chance of going depended on whether I was feeling sick or not.
I wasn't feeling that great but I wanted out of the house so Ben and I hung out doing basically nothing really. But it was nice to get out of the house. Katie was going to hang out with us but couldn't. Nick stopped by after work and for a long time we all stood outside talking and hanging out.
It was nice getting out of the house.
Today I woke up with cramps and Fred. Joy upon joys.
Gabe's (Penny Arcade) wife had her baby on Thursday. Gabriel Aiden. Very cute.
I think that's it.
I'm not grounded anymore so if anyone wants to do anything, I'm definitely up for it. Just not today.
I love you all.

We're such arrogant jerks most of the time. I'm happy that other countries, especially France, still feel sympathy for us.
My dad was overseas in Taiwan on September 11, 2001. Random people, strangers, would come up to him on the street, ask him if he was American and say they were sorry about what happened. We have two Hong Kong newspapers from that day.
I don't know if I had a point. But if I did, it'd be that I hope a year from now we'll be less arrogant and more deserving of the sympathy, the empathy that other countries give us on this day.
I love you all.
