I'm extremely close to actually studying, so I figured I'd get on woohu and YELL AT PEOPLE FOR NOT COMMENTING!! :'-( I feel so deprived....
Speaking of being deprived....I got the finding nemo dvd today!!! ^_^ I watched a little bit of it, but with the precalc test and the history test tomorrow, I figured I could watch it another time... But I got a nemo plush, a squirt plush, a pin, and 4 lithos with the dvd! Now I have 8 lithos! I'm starting a collection. The next ones I wanna get are 101 dalmations and Fox and the Hound. Ya know, just FYI... o.~

I know it's late, but I had to write..
I literally just purchased my airline tickets to go to Pittsburgh. I am SO excited!!! It was a major ordeal though. I went on expedia a few days ago and saved some info as an "itinerary" which you can do so that you have not yet bought the tickets, but you save like what flights you want to go on. At that point, I got a fairly decent price for the trip I wanted to take at the time I wanted to do it. I was planning on getting into pittsburgh at like 9:35 AM or something like that and leaving at 2:40 PM. It was good, because that would give me a full day on the day I arrived and atleast till lunch on the day I was to leave, but I wouldn't get here too late for people to come pick me up on the flip side. I got online today to check up on the itinerary, because Will was going to book it for me, and the price had jumped about $140. WTF?! I was really pissed about it too, because just last night I had gotten in a small argument with my dad over when to buy the tickets. I was under the impression that the longer you wait to book a flight, the more expensive it gets. "Well that's not exactly true all of the time." Grr.. I really honestly thought that this thing would be allowed to slip through the cracks. Just like a few other unmentioned things... -.- That's a huge reason that I've been talking about it 24/7. It's been 2/3 because I was excited and 1/3 because if I dont talk about things constantly around here, they do not happen. I have learned this the hard way. ANYWAY... He said that the prices had been dropping on airfares and that we would wait a week to ten days. FINE! UGH! Yea, dad, the prices sure are falling. They're falling so much that they're falling up! =-O I know I'm shocked! Who ever heard of airline tickets going UP in price?! So anyway, after a few minutes of looking around on expedia, I found a trip that was equal in price to the original one. Trick is, this one is the same flight out, but it leaves pitt at 7:40 PM, or something like that. It also leaves a day later. WOOT!! A whole day and a half more than I thought I was getting!! I'm so happy that this thing is actually happening!!
I was trying to explain to Nikki why this thing is so huge for me, and I ended up summing it up pretty well on accident:
It is everything that I miss with everyone that I miss.
I miss everything about Pittsburgh. I miss snowball fights. I miss fires in the fireplace. I miss sledding. I miss breaking icicles off the roof of the shed and eating them like popsicles. I miss cardinals in the snow. I miss deer. I miss fall leaves.
Actually, that last one brings up an interesting point. I missed fall leaves so much one year that my grandmother and my little sister, whoops, I mean cousin, Karen, ironed fall leaves in wax paper (that makes them stay, guys, I know we dont know much about seasonal thingies) and shipped them down for me. It was great. My next trip to Pittsburgh (well, maybe not next...I may need one more snow trip in there somewhere) will be for fall leaves. Then for tulips in the spring. Well, actually, by then, I won't need to have such a huge deal to get myself up there. I'll be in college. ROAD TRIP! Oh yea...
Anyway, this whole post has just been one long way of saying...
I AM SO PSYCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My inner child is ten years old!
The adult world is pretty irrelevant to me. Whether
I'm off on my bicycle (or pony) exploring, lost

:: Music: destiny's child - if you leave
after getting nothing but good-byes every weekend after too-short weekend , for you to walk away without even a backwards glance was every one of those sundays combined without the hope of another friday afternoon , and i can't handle the sundays with hope . i grabbed your arm and i begged and i cried and it was all i could do to look you in the eyes for the second you allowed me to . ( when you look somebody in the eyes , it's easier for them to read what's inside yours , and most of the time i'd rather avoid that - that's why ) . the sun highlighted the paved sidewalk and determination that lasted long past lyons road ( the second time ) and i shielded my eyes from your blinding glances cast so nonchalantly upon me . a million thoughts were running though my head faster than i could even process them , but i knew it wasn't going to be anything i said , so i ignored them and studied the sidewalk and kept walking . if only it was as simple as an apology . if only it hadn't come to that . but hey ... all's well that end's well . but i'm still left wondering what's going to happen when the day comes that your arm doesn't fall so naturally around me after three quarters of a mile , and you're a little more set on escaping my badly driven car . you can't sit there and tell me not to question that , because you have all the right in the world to question it yourself . but when i throw my dignity out the window and go sprinting after you with my hair tangled and eyeliner dripping down to my chin , you mean a little more to me than the average person . and when i walk three quarters of a mile in the florida sun in equally unattractive conditions , it would indicate that you mean quite a bit more . so , i love you . don't ever fucking leave me like that .

Just something amusing that I came across that I thought should be shared.
http://members.tripod.com/~srl2/
Here's a sample from the "Long Live Squirrels" Website, "The official homepage of the Squirrel Rights League."
If you hate squirrels:
You must be taught differently.
Perhaps they get into your birdfeeders: Buying a squirrel feeder will cause the squirrels to forget about the food left for the birds, and eventually they will recognize their own food.
Perhaps they get in your garden: Realize that squirrels, and chipmunks as well, are more attractive and more fun to watch than garden flowers.
Perhaps you just think they're evil: Can you prove it biblically? How about scientifically?
Perhaps you think they're rats: There's so much you should learn about Zoology. Although rats and squirrels are both rodents, they are nothing alike. Saying a squirrel is a bushy tailed rat is like saying a human is a tailless lemur. Not that I have anything against rats, they make good pets.
Here's some squirrel-hater philosophy: "Kill, kill, kill!" Now, doesn't that sound rather primitive?
Redneck joke: You might be a redneck if you waste all your time making anti-squirrel websites.
Be sure to read the "About Me" page too. This guy is really odd. He's a UF alumni! HAHA! I find this extremely funny. Take notice of the part where he says he once donated his plasma to buy a squirrel. o.0 He also mentions having "befriended" several squirrels on the uf campus. This guy is really...unique.

:: Music: "Amber" -311
Happy halloween guys! Hope everyone had fun trick or treating. This was the first year I didn't go. I feel so old. But the 311 concert rocked. They are really good live. They did they're new single for the encore, and it was awesome. It's a good anger management song. It will go on my anger management mix disc 2. They played Amber also, which is one of my favorite tracks. I love that cd. They played mostly from their new cd though, which I don't know as well. But it was all good. It was Gabe's first concert! O.O Good first concert though I guess. I have never seen people with that much drugs in my life. It wasn't so much that there were a lot of people doing drugs as much as it was how much the individuals were doing. I have no idea how some of those people were standing. Well, to be fair, some of them weren't, but still.
We had a new record of trick or treaters at our house last night. Eleven.
Yesterday was very weird. I'm still trying to ...recover. Not the concert. That was sweet. Something else. But I am definitely not writing about it until I get it sorted out in my head. Just not real sure how to deal with this, and I'm really really extremely freaked out right now. o.o

Today rocked my socks. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED! OMG. Somebody pinch me. Please. ...Ow! grrr.
Today in precalc I became first on the list of amanda's "buckos." Hehe, it's funny cuz she says that a lot. And now we're pirates. Arrgh! I get to be the monkey too! Aha! I outlive you ALL! My haunted coin!
So anyway...back to reality. School was great today because I did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I didn't do my english oral, even though I semi-prepared it, so it wouldn't have been horrible to go. We got our chem tests back sort of. I got a B on the multiple choice. He hasn't graded the free response though. That's fine with me. A B in chem makes me very happy. Sweet.
I FINALLY got that email I have been waiting for. Yay!!!!! :-D Amy is getting kicked tomorrow for giving me a faulty email address. -.- I waited three weeks to be emailed back from a faulty email address. grrr.
I took a nap today. :-)
I am now the self-proclaimed president of the National High School Marmot Club. Suavé is the VP. That is all.
Before I wrap this up, my brother just sent me this link. It is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. http://members.cox.net/impunity/endofworld.swf Go take a look.
Peace.

Uhhh...I just cannot not be tired anymore. I'm so tired all the time. Maybe the lack of sleep has something to do with that. I think I'm just gonna go to bed tonight though. At like 8. Because I can. Well, actually, I can't, but I'm going to. SCREW IB. Mr. Youngman is the devil. Hmm...what would that make Mrs. Youngman? ooo! I know! I know! I'll give you a hint...
I have to do this stupid oral in english. Grr. I dont want to do it. Maybe I wont. Psh..ya right. I have to analysize (lol) Leonardo. Anyone know why he has a name? If I wrote that play, I'd just call him "whore." That'd work. "Adulterer" "All around dumbface" How'd ya like to see that in one of Lorca's plays? It would make me more interested atleast...
I'm not making any sense. I'm talking to my little cousin. She's like what the hell is wrong with you? Well, she didn't say it like that because she's 13 and is not quite as corrupt as the rest of us, but still.. I'm trying to explain IB to her, how I've had about 10 hours of sleep this week. It occurs to me how sad this life is. I am so exhausted. It really wouldn't be worth it if I didn't look forward so much to being financially independent from my parents as soon as I go to college. It's what keeps me going.
Just a quick sidenote. Amanda just IMed me with this. http://www.woohu.com/users/userphotos/2184 You make kitty scared. o.0
Ok, so that's about all I'm going to ramble about in here. Just figured if I don't post something every few days or something of the sort, people will assume I'm dead. Even if I show up at school. Oh, that reminds me, something interesting. We got our report cards today. I missed one full day of school this year, and Ms. Schilit is the only one who noticed. I found it odd.

How do you define success? Well let me tell you...in my version, the successor does not fade away. He lives on, always having to keep that success to 'stay alive'. A constant struggle. The only difference is that he knows what success truly is. He does not substitute it for what it is believed by many to be. My successor may not be well known, but it is hard for those that know him not to respect him. Sometimes we all ask ourselves the question of what success means to us, but do we ever really answer truthfully? Well I am answering truthfully now. I don't want your goals. Go ahead, tell me what to do, see if you ever gain my respect. You musnt need to struggle remember me for you will hear my name once again. What does your success story entail? Perhaps you are destined to fade away. After all, every success eventually fades away, right? Not when YOU define success.

:: Music: "Funeral March of a Marionette"
That was lots of fun. Just got home from the Atlantic band mini-field trip to get solo and ensemble music. I walked over to the clarinet section, said hi to my posse, and then ran away, unnoticed, over to the percussion section. Okay, so they saw me go.. But I am not going to play a clarinet solo, Adam! I looked mainly through the grade threes. I picked out three that were options. One was a Mozart, one was Bach, and the other was "Funeral March of a Marionette". After looking through them a bit more closely, I put back the Bach, because it had too many rolls. I hate rolling. Grr. So it was between the Mozart one and the green one. I took a vote, and the green one won, because it was prettier. Then I went and hung out a little more with the clarinets. Seeing what all they were getting.
I was just kind of chilling out doing nothing while Leah was saving our spot in line and she goes "Lauren! Lauren! Come here!" So I walked over and she's like look who came! Mr. Markgraf was there! Yay! Then I had to hide the marimba solo. He came over to talk to us and ask us what we were getting. He asked Leah and she explained her whole book of duets for her and Kristen that are apparently easy grade 5's because they have only two mallets. Right. Then markgraf was like so, skillet, what are you getting? I turned around the paper..."A marimba solo.." "Oh. ...what? Really?! Lemme see!" Hehe, it was a good double take. He opened up the booklet thingy, took one look at it, and said "This is a really good one for you. Not a lot of rolls." LMAO! I had just been talking about that to leah like 2 seconds before. Crazy. But I hate rolling. With a passion. So my solo got the "markgraf stamp of approval" and I feel better about which one I picked. The green one.
I still have not decided if I'm going to actually do anything for solo and ensemble. Well, I mean besides clarinet choir. I wasn't even going to go today, but Leah bugged me about it. So I asked Mr. Lerner this morning if we went and bought music when we would have to decide whether we were actually going to do s&e, and he said we didn't have to sign up until right before Christmas Break. So I figured I'd get something to work on, and if I feel it's good enough to perform by december, or that it will be good enough to perform at some point ever, then I'll do it as a solo. It just gives me something to do that's still on percussion, but not like in the class or anything. Dont worry guys, I'm still doing clarinet. It just is a change. Gives me something to do during lunches I guess. It's a grade 3, so I may be able to do something with it by the time solo and ensemble rolls around. Who knows..
