We can live like Jack and Sally if we want, and have Halloween on Christmas..
Dont get involved in politics.
Its all rather confusing, really. Here's the deal. i just got done watching the last 10 minutes of Bush talking. this is an overview that i have summed up to the best of my ability...
Ok, Bush wants to spend lots of money to help these prisoners that are being released to have a home. and be mentored by some faith, which basically means that the churches will probably get a bunch of tax money if they hire these guys. well, i think thats majorly bright... *shakes head*
hmm.. i am very confused because of my parents' differing political views. you see, my father is republican. although he wont tell me why. not that its a bad thing, really. i just want a better understanding of the stance of both parties, so he wasnt that much help. now my mother, on the other hand, is an alien, so she cant vote. (from sweden) but, she said if she wanted to choose, she'd most likely be democratic. do you see my situation here? *sigh* well, she tried to explain some of the major democratic views. and i kinda get it. im just a bit unclear about republicans. my sister said the following: "The republicans are more interested in building up the military and stuff. the democratic are more for the people. the republicans are retards. dad, you're a retard." yea, so.. the only thing my dad said (except to not talk so loud) was that the democrats are dumb. basically. not quite sure. maybe i should be a liberal. except there aren't many in the senate/congress and im not sure about their views either.
politics are scary and i want to hide from them.
besides that, if anyone can clear the air id be most grateful. well, on to bed i guess. i actually did my english, which is a start. but i didnt do bio. big suprise there. and nola is switching out of that class. :(
did i mention that i had one of the shittiest days of my life today?
except for lunch (strange, isnt it?) because i had some.. strange.. conversations with sabrina. all i will say is that it involved pretzels. thats all... really..
*runs away from politics*

p.s. oh man, we are doing coil pots in ceramics and i had the most brilliant idea for mine. Jack Skellington from the Nightmare before Christmas! i am truly a genius.

No one can run from the shadows of dreams
It seems that i haven't updated for a while. well, my life is just so gosh darn exciting i guess i dont have the time. Here is a run through of what most people call "life." I will be excluding details.

The Hell Tower that is called Thursday
maybe not an actual tower. more like one of the lower depths of hell that is not yet understood. note my amazing sarcasm. ha. ha.
well, i'll pick out the interesting parts. mostly because i dont really remember the first part of the day. *shrugs*
Lunch is amazing. I got to eat, and feel like crap at the same time. It appears as if one of my friends believes that i waste too much of my time on computer/tv/playstation. tv dominating. this friend thinks that because i have wasted my time on these petty excuses for entertainment, it has resulted in the drop of my grades. sorry. it has not. just because i have 2 c's, doesnt mean i am a complete dumbass. really, it doesnt. and im sorry if i have my own life, in which i sometimes like to sit and watch some television. oh yes, and im terribly sorry if i have offended you in any way by making lively conversation about television with other friends. and i do use 'other' as you believe i would. i would like to congratulate you on making me feel like shit.
everyone, please applaud this wonderful act of utmost crappiness.

so sorry.

What Dante could call 'The Friday of Hell'
The Friday of hell. it is most brilliantly named, if i do say so myself. well, the morning was good.
plans of a sleepover were made with 2 of my friends and second period was fun. amazing, isnt it? its one of those once in a lifetime experiences. thanks, ana. :)
Now then. there was a pizza party at the center at lunch. for the art people who painted stuff for the children's benefit. or something like that. who knows. Indeed, i went to this aptly named 'pizza party.' Of course, since i have freis it was most enjoyable being late. and having no pepperoni/cheese pizza left. just supreme.
I ate one piece after taking off the onions, mushrooms, peppers, and olives. it was delightful.
went to sixth period. my other friend (ah yes, so the term is again used.. fancy that.) told me about this 'friend' who controlled the pure shittiness of the day named thursday. more mean things. what fun i have in my social life, as you can quite imagine.
The day of disappointment
Saturday. also brilliantly named.
the day of the 'sleepover.' No calls, no plans.
no friends decided to come. fair enough, since it was such short notice.
More bloodsucking went on through the day. (i use the term 'bloodsucking' loosely and in the meaning of 'life-draining.' almost the same meaning. crazy, eh?)
Although it is quite tragic, i had no sleep. i just couldnt sleep. maybe it was my thoughts of friends that kept me awake. or perhaps it was the next day's comings that kept me from dreams. the main point is that i couldnt slip off into my favorite place where everything is either perfect, or cunningly nightmarish. no in-betweens or mixes of the two. but that could never affect our reality, could it?

pity.

Fell asleep at 5:30 a.m.

Today, the day of broken dreams
I am truly broken. im broken into thousands of bits and tiny halves of bits, and the millions of particles within them. such is expected from nature i guess.
plans were made for the same 2 friends to sleepover after we terrorized the little ones at the medieval fair held at lakes park. crushed. no one calls.
i woke at 8:30 to be dragged to church. i literally mean dragged. rain came. it was so soothing. and calming. and i tried with all my might to stay awake in church. really, i did.
Mom took me to Starbucks. got a frappuchino and a cookie. i wished i could have stayed there. i love bookstores.
came home and glued myself to this lovely machine. i dare say, that paint shop pro is addictive. dinner. then more broken-ness. explained to mother my failure of buds. cocoa should be a medical solution. i will look forward to ana's cocoa pot.
so ends my days. but i must say, with all honesty, that i have 1 or 2 good friends. one of them is andrea. i love you andrea, because you make me like this ----> :)

stay tuned for the next thrilling episode.

-me.

Ok, first of all--



:)

Now i can tell you about tonight. It was way fun.
I went over to chelsea's house and syd was already there, so we talked and stuff until we went to meet melissa. We met her and went to Friday's. I think we might've mentally abused our waitress, but thats ok. It was all fun :D. Me and mel had a chicken blt and syd and chels both had a cheeseburger. yumm.. anyways, while syd was in the bathroom we were talkin in some funky accent and chelsea said that she was an australian-southern-chinese bitch. and somethin went on before that about her head being air or something, but i ended up saying 'if you're a chinese southern bitch with a booger blocking the air to your brain, then im the bloody easter bunny.' except i said it as if i was british and it all seemed fairly hilarious at the time. :D Sydney is Jesus.

Well, after dinner we went to the theatre and we got tickets. to peter pan. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
We were crazy in the theatre before the film started and chelsea ended up sitting on the floor between me and sydney. it was hilarious. Well, the movie went on, and near the end when wendy and peter kiss, and he smiles real big and the light thing is in the sky, yadda yadda; We all start cracking up. We were all laughing so hard. and i, personally, knew that i should stop, but couldnt. and then we laughed at the end when the freaky aunt lady gets to keep Slightly (one of the lost boys).

the end.

but i feel like writing so i think im going to do that. yay.

:: Music: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 - Coheed & Cambria

Yawns are contagious. So is my overwhelming happiness.
I AM TOTALLY STOKED.
i, carina, shall be going to the AFI, Thursday, and Coheed & Cambria concert.
ahhhhhhh!!! HAPPINESS!!!

This makes me grin very much.

Ok.. Yesterday i went to the doctor. and it only took about 10 minutes. yay. and that included the time we had to wait. so.. yay. :)
I got a prescription for Amoxicillan. If you dont know what that is, its just a fancy word for extremely large pills. But they make me feel better. :)

*grins* i cant wait until March 4th.

Anyways, school was ok. I completly forgot that it was DEAR today. (haha ana) i felt kinda dumb because i thought it was wednesday. it is friday. wow i am incredibly retarded. but that is ok, because i can go to a kick-ass concert. Well, in second period we watched slides of Mr. Smith's life. what fun. i could tell that it was really great because ana, jesenia, and tiffany were trying to sleep. Poor Mr. Smith. no one really cares.
Third period was a free day. and i had brought my flute. The retardedness of me continued... ah well. Kelly was talking to me all period about Yuu Yuu Hakusho. I cant wait to see the Dark Tournament. :)
Fourth period i couldnt find my math book. someone stole it or something. i just took notes. fun.
Fifth period we went over the exam still. we spend about 10-15 minutes on some questions. i screamed 'Why dont you just give us our test grades? its much easier than us listening to the nonsesne that comes out of your mouth!' well, i was screaming it in my head. since i value my health, i didnt actually say it aloud. :)
Lunch.. i am loved! everyone missed me! :D
Sixth period.. more on 'To kill a mokingbird.' i honestly dont know why we're reading it.
Seventh period we got new computers! they are very sweet black gateways. yay :)
Im going to teach chelsea html. hahahaha fun.
Speakin of chelsea, we are most likely going to go to the movies tomorrow haha. and she is going to the concert too! fun,fun friends. much fun.
but i cant go anywhere unless my room is up to mother's expectations.
Gots to clean me room, mate.

Just wonderful
Im home and im sick. It cant get anymore lovely. My fever went down a bit, and my eyes aren't watering anymore. But, my throat is worse, i have a constant headache, and my ears hurt. Beautiful.
Well Mom woke me up at 5:45 in case i was well enough to go to school. I wasn't. i had a fever so i hobbled back to my room and slept more.
I woke up 10:30. Then, I was too numb to do anything so i sat in front of the tube. kind of. I was almost awake watching I Dream of Jeannie. and then i saw that Vh1's 100 hottest hotties was on. now im watching it. I saw the first segment and Orlando Bloom was 76. I could have stabbed the tv. but this is the second segment, and we're on 54 i think. *shrugs* More later if my headache goes away.

:: Mood: sick :(

Where's my medication?
I'm sick :(
My throat is sore, my nose is stuffed, and i have a fever. not to mention i just feel like crap. and my eyes are really warm and keep on watering. and it hurts :( but, lets get on to better things, shall we?

Today was the first day of school since winter break. i'd like to tell you that it was really fun and amazing.. but it was school.

Woke up early, took a shower, ate breakfast yadda yadda, and left for school. it was really cold outside and i was wearing a skirt. im so dumb. Anyways, me and lisa went up to our alpha-home room which is ms. burbank. a biology teacher. yay. We went to our first period. yay. ms. roeder just talked the whole time and i died.
second period sucked. it sucked monkey. We had a substitute named ms. stebbins (or 'man-woman' as we used to refer to her in middle school.. yuck). We had to watch a movie on impressionism and had to answer questions. I died. i seriously think i would have cried of boredom if i didnt remember that this is school. you're not supposed to cry in school, silly. yea, i died. i just wanted to start screaming and crying,"Damn you, Impressionism!!!" :(
Third period was a little better. i just sat there. what fun. i was kept sane by darbie. thank you darbie.
Fourth period, i was on the brink of dying again. We had 11 projects to choose from and had to get into groups of 3. think again. none of the people in there are my 'friends.' Yes, we talk every blue moon but i dont think that is enough to have a friendship. *shrugs*
Fifth period was ok i guess. We had new seating arrangements and i thank the good lord that i sit by nola. Thank you thank you thank you. we got our exam questions back (not the answer sheet. i was going to strangle ms. freis.) we went over some questions and out of 19 i think i only got 5 wrong. i tried really hard to stay awake. but her voice is monotone so i just thought of me being at home in the next 2 or 3 hours.
hold on, my eyes are watering again.

alright thats better.

I didnt want to look bored to tears at lunch so i tried to be really happy and pretend that i didnt have to make up 3 pages of questions for biology since i didnt get them before break like everyone else. Well, i looked like i was high. i didnt shut up. really i didnt. i kept talking until 6th period. but i was kinda happy at lunch because Sabrina and Sam are in 3rd lunch with me.
*feels forehead*
lets get a move on. i have a headache. and im typing with my eyes closed so excuse any spelling/grammar errors.
sixth period i died too. i was a little cheery because sabrina was there, and i didnt finish some cookies at lunch, so i accidently talked with my mouth open and i sounded like a retard. More great news. we have to read 'to kill a mockingbird'. we listened to half the first chapter on audio and it was really hard to stay awake. really hard. i hate the book already. i understood it fine, but im not a fan of slow books.

No. you havent read a slow book until you've attempted to read the first few pages of this so called 'novel.'

anyways, i was really excited in seventh period because melissa got contacts and cut her hair. she looks good. and, she told me about the concert with Coheed & Cambria, AFI, and Thursday. I want to go sooooooooo bad!!! Maybe if i clean my room...
Got home, gave myself a headache from an unknown cause (my biology book) and felt extremely crappy. I had a slightly sore throat this morning. it became more painful at lunch. i had a huge ass headache that added to my suffering and now i am full blown with this cold. roar. i would scream but im too tired and it would probably hurt my throat.
I scanned my Orlando Bloom picture that took me forever. maybe i'll put the link up. *sigh*
Maybe Johnny and Orlando will keep me happy until the O.C. comes on. i swear that the show was one of the more powerful reasons i kept my sanity. Now i must try and get up ( i took the comforter from my bed and wrapped it around me because i was freezing. im still freezing and my fan isnt even on. )

I wish i get better by tomorrow so i can do something this weekend. I wanted to see another movie with speedy :)
*grabs cough drop bag*
this is my friend feelbetter the cough drop bag. we have bonded much since i first met him when my mother came home with him in a grocery bag. yay.
*Rina

crawlie! is there something wrong? you didnt seem that happy today. i wish i could give you a hug :(

Whatever spikes your altoids
ok here's the deal..
Me and Andrea met at the Bell Tower tonight. We decided to go see a movie and ended up watching peter pan hahaha. the ticket lady was a real bitch.. we'd beat her down with sticks if there wasnt plexiglass seperating her from me and andrea!
Anyways, we missed the Deluxe coca-cola commercial they always play. 'brian, its time for dinner!' 'its Deluxe, son! Deluxe!' haha
hmm... well, we are in the movie, and its playing and im like 'whoa.. tone it down a bit.. this isnt pg-13' it was funny.
There was one part where peter pan whistles and all these fairies come from this huge, -erm- fairy tree and everyone's quiet. At that moment andrea says 'fairies!' i tried so hard not to laugh. really hard. i almost died. hmm. most of the scenes were really fake so i kinda coughed out 'computer' a few times. it was really funny at the time. We were eating Andrea's altoids (they're addictive little buggers) and there must have been something in them because we were kinda crazy lmao. after the movie was done we went back to the tower to find a payphone. we called home. then we stood outside of bed bath & beyond. While we were waiting there some guy hit a sign really hard and andrea jumped back kinda far and it was hilarious because she was like ' i thought we were getting shot at.' :D We saw two UGLY cars. Andrea yelled 'you have an ugly car!!' and i said 'um, the windows are rolled down' pretty hilarious.
O! and this one guy in a black pickup truck went from the parking lot onto the street by going through this place where there are three concrete bar things on the road and there is a side walk. so, he basically just kinda drove on the sidewalk. redneck! hahahaha yea.. i had my disposable camera so i could waste film so i took two pictures of a tree and one of a stop sign. w h o a. it was kinda funny.
Well, i really must be going.. i have to play flute at 10:30 in the morning. i dont want to wake up at 9! *pouts* ah well. thats the way it goes.

whoa buddy
Hmm.. i haven't updated for a while.
Well, Ninni and Richard left. I was sad :( but we're seeing them in another 5-6 months so its cool :) I went to church today. It was kinda boring.. I went to target afterwards and got some powder and a bag of coffee. did you know that they want $7 for some starbucks?? thats really dumb. *shoots economic factors* o well.
I went to tgifridays with lisa yesterday. it was amazingly crowded because it was some arts and crafts fair. arg. well, we ate lunch and went over to the theater to see a movie. We saw Stuck on You. it was funny on some parts and kinda lame in some other scenes. thats just my opinion though.. *shrug*
lets see.. nothing much to really say. oh yes, i forgot. i made a livejournal. it is slightly complicated but really cool if you get the hang of it. of course, i like woohu better, and thats why it is my main journal. my livejournal one is just a place to put all my icons. i mean, you just tell me you want it and Ill be like, uh, yea sure. no big deal. you dont even have to credit me. just say, hey this is cool can i have it?
easy as pie. and pie is really good.
i actually just finished some pumpkin pie like half an hour ago. I think i forgot to say that the day before Richard left, we went mini-golfing. or did i? psshh bad memory.

beware.. dolphins taunt
Today we went to the beach! (except for dad and sven). We thought it would be nice to visit the Sanibel Lighthouse beach again :)
We took the volvo. ouch. me lisa and richard were cramped in the backseat. ouch. we got there and i immediately went to feel the water. it was really fucking cold. i sunbathed. for a while. but then i decided i would at least try to go in the water. i got to my waist. cold as a bitch. Lisa tried too. My legs were numb. im dead serious. Richard swam. crazy.
There were dolphins swimming really close to the shore and i was like 'whoa!' but so was everyone else. there was a line of people down the beach tryin to take pictures. i would have made fun of them, but i was taking pictures too.
the rest of it.. lets see.. more sunbathing. i went out into the ocean to see if i would swim, and richard went with me. lisa came after 2 minutes. after 7-10 minutes of 'letting my legs get used to the water' (which felt much more like dying of hypothermia), i swam. i was freezing. some 10 minutes later, lisa got in with much stalling on her part lmao. me and richard were like 'chicken! chicken!' fun.
more sunbathing.
the dolphins came back (like 3 of them i think) and they were close to the shore and went by slowly. thats just way too much. I could tell that they were taunting us. and if we could hear them.. laughing hysterically at our lack of brain capacity.
i swam again.. and went in after 2 minutes! i was happy about that.
When we were done, we crammed back into the car, sandy and more uncomfortable, and drove home. Me and lisa were loons. we were singing to the theme song from drew carey and were dancin. i think we mortally embarassed richard. hahahaha. what fun.
we had a good dinner today. and i found that my brother, in his own words, calls himself an embarassment to nature. i truly believe it.
We played cards. (me lisa and richard) um.. my ship sails, b.s., and.. thats it. i won b.s. the second time hahaha. it was hilarious.
Now, me and andrea just stopped changing our fonts and font color while talking to eachother (out of pure boredom, mind you.. ) and think i should join potca. nicely done :)
hmm.. here are some of my better icons that i made. but no stealing. my page is right-click protected anyways :P
here we go:




and one that i made for Andrea.. that she cant use for anything lmao! :D

well, i should probably go. Ninni and richard leave tomorrow :( but we are going to sweden this summer, so no fret.

New Year's
I kinda forgot it was New Year's Today..
Wow im pretty lame.
Well.. We just did some small fireworks because my dad is afraid that the others are too big and will set someone's house on fire. it wouldnt be our fault. its theirs. they left their house in our way. hmph. Wow. Not many days til school. dont send me back. i dont want to go back. it gets so boring... you do the same thing every day. fun in a bottle.

one of my favorite movies of all time (no not potc) is on. Edward Scissorhands. that movie rocks. and im not allowed to watch it on the tv in the tv room because the living room is by the tv room and my aunt sleeps in the living room. and lisa wont let me watch it in her room either. :( i want to see johnny.
-->Can you imagine? the second.. no.. third thing i did this year is to write in this. my life is so overwhelmingly exciting. ack- more whistling. go away fireworks!
Well, since everyone creates a useless list of goals that they will never reach.. i decided to make one too.
New Year's Resolutions:
First on my list - to stop, or try to stop, being so sarcastic. my mouth gets me in a lot of trouble these days. next, do homework when i come home and then watch tv.. not the other way around. umm.. save my money? im not exactly great with not spending, but i might last for a few days with that one.. I almost forgot.. i need to buy a new cd player and messenger bag. both of them are now shit. nice, eh? totally.
Um.. before fireworks we rented movies. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Shanghai Knights, and Hunted.. i think.. well we watched the first two, and I think Richard liked Monty Python :P that movie makes me want to pee on some parts.
"Have at you! C'mon you pansy! Chicken! Chicken!"
"What're ya gonna do? Bleed on me?!"
hahaha good stuff. and for Shanghai Knights:
"Would you like some Spotted Dick?"
"Can you believe this? I've been here for 5 seconds and this guy is already asking me if ive got the clap!"
Hmm.. now to put my memory into biology, instead of movie quotes..
nope. it'll never happen.
im sad about bio. Nola might be leaving :( dont leave me nola! i'll be alone! with [mumble] no one *cough* to cheat [mumble mumble] off of...
AHHHH!!! *clicks mouse madly* I hate pop-ups! i have that popup blocker google thing.. but since ive blocked 1140 ads already, i think its getting tired of shooting them into oblivion. anyways..
I hope everyone has a great new year :)

rape, canoes, and food
Mom, ninni, lisa, sven, richard and me decided that we would go to Sanibel and canoe. I rode with lisa, and richard rode with sven, mom, and ninni. Something horrible happened on the way there.

I saw the Honda element and it raped my eyes. It is the bastard child of an suv and a mini cooper. Anyone who drives it should be dragged into the street and shot... or severely beaten with sticks.

Anyways.. We went to this canoe place next to the Ding Darling refuge. We were put on the waiting list for 2 canoes. they said we would get them in 45 minutes. yay. but, as it happens with all the wondrously lucky things that affect me, we only had to wait 20-25 minutes. Me, Lisa, and Richard were in one canoe, and mom, ninni and sven were in the other one. Lisa was the steering person in the back, i was the do-nothing person in the middle, and Richard was the main paddle guy in the front. a m a z i n g. Well, it was actually a very beautiful day. it couldnt have gone better. We got in the canoes bla bla bla and rowed out to this 'path' through the mangrove trees. it was so quiet and peaceful. and i wanted it to stay that way. but as we progressed, we ran into mom's canoe a few times, got stuck in trees more than a few times, and teased eachother's canoeing abilities haha. (is that really how you spell canoeing?) It was quite funny. we actually got stuck under these branches and i was right inbetween them. i was wigging out because there were 2 huge banana spiders. Richard thought it was funny.. but i was like 'no! get awaaaay! get me OUT!!' its actually pretty amusing if you think about it. After canoeing, we went to the gift shop thing and Richard bought stuff for some of his friends in sweden.
We then left and went to the Hungry Heron. hmm. they said that our party of 6 would have to wait 20 minutes. my spifforific ability kicked in. we waited for 5 minutes. :D I got a bacon cheeseburger, richard got some other burger and lisa got a chicken sandwich. (sven-chicken tenders, mom-something with crab, ninni- something with tuna). it was hilarious because Richard's burger was humongous. He was like 'my mouth isnt big enough.' we laughed at him. we also think there is something wrong with the drinks there. my sprite didnt taste like.. sprite. the coke was pepsi, but the milk was fine i guess. Well, Mom, ninni, and richard went to go visit hazel (my grandmother's cousin who is like 80) while me lisa and sven went home. we blasted music all the way back. what fun :P
We got home and lisa found a huge spider in dad's office so we kinda screamed and told sven not to go in there. lisa scared the shit out of him by saying how if it was a brown recluse, your skin would deteriorate if it bit you. he didnt go near it. we watch some of the twilight zone marathon on scifi, and then i came on here :) Mom brought home ice cream from tcby and i was like 'score! this rocks' it was chocolate with chocolate chip cookie dough bits on top. yum. *grins*
Well.. ive been really messin with this Animation shop and it rocks! i made a few journal icons with blinky letters or however the hell you would like to call them. :) maybe i'll post them later.. maybe...
must go. i need to dance wildly.
..not really.

ps. lots of family from ohio arrived unexpectedly last night. what fun to see my cousin-somethings-grandparents, my uncle, aunt, somehow-related-to-aunt-with-child named holly and holly's kid. and normal cousin. except holly and the kid are from fort myers. how strange.

Die, eyesight, die!

Ok. i have a little more time today so i'll fill you in the best i can. :)

My aunt Ninni and my cousin Richard from Sweden came on the 23rd. I didnt see richard that night but i did see my aunt. Well, she mostly talked to my mom but thats ok. we're not close 'buddies' or anything. On christmas eve we dreaded nightfall. except for sven because he still thinks santa is the coolest fat guy around. That morning i saw richard after my mom woke me up at 10. i had wanted to sleep longer, but hey. how many times does your family in sweden visit? well, i go out to the kitchen and im kinda standin there not fully awake with my hair all messed up and 'lo and behold- I see him. My first thought was his height. lisa was standing there with me so after he walked by saying 'good morning' i just turned and said 'he got taller.' then i went back in my room. big reunion.
Sven was kinda hanging on him and i was like 'poor guy. he shouldnt have to go through this on his first day.' because everyone knows that sven can get.... lets say.. bothersome. anyways, night came. it was time to get ready for the annual christmas eve party. i know what you're thinking. why would a party be dreadful? you obviously have never been to one of these 'get-togethers.' You see, every year, i meet people who claim to be my 'relatives.' no. ive never seen them before. For all i know it could be some freako person saying 'yea, im a distant cousin of your aunts nephew.. twice removed.' and i would probably believe 'em. my family is screwed up. anyways every year i only recognize some odd people. like 5. well, maybe 10, but that place is crawlin with like 50 people so... maybe 60. hmmm.. well we wont get into that right now. ok..
My somehow-cousin-person who is very old hosts it. She is like .05% swedish and thinks that she can make Swedish meatballs. lovely? wrong. very wrong. its like eating rolled.. crap. really.well, everyone is expected to eat and like the food so i took a small slice of ham and a piece of a potato. Me, lisa, sven and richard all sat at one table and were like 'yea, we basically stare at the walls every year' its no lie. seriously. i want to run away screaming and hit people with sticks if anyone even mentions going back. its a good thing we get a break every year. we stood outside for some 40 odd minutes. hiding. lisa talked to richard and i inconspicuously threw rocks at a porta potty. well, on hit the roof of this one house but i dont think lisa heard. *smirks* Time for opening presents. every year we get the same thing. A dumb present and a card. guess what we got. a dumb present and a card. Me sven and richard got the same thing. a disposable camera. feel the love.
When we got out of that hell hole i almost died of happiness. i was screaming at lisa in the car that we were home-free. i was kinda drunk on the false hope that i would never see that place again. o well.
Christmas, that joyful day...
wow. i was woken up at 8:00 in the morning to open my stocking. i was amazed. i got hairties! feel the excitement!
...
ok, opened more presents yadda yadda yadda. This is a rough list of what i got. i dont really feel like thinking.
a $100 pre-paid visa card, huge ass bean bag, yarn, scrapbook, pajamas, jewelery, cds, potc dvd, bubble bath stuff, frame things for my scrapbook, bed sheets, and.. some other stuff. i told you i didnt feel like thinking. *yawn* we ate lunch and headed to my aunt sue's house. but not before more out-of-state relatives came. my uncle duff, aunt michelle, and my cousin Danielle (<--girl) came. i got $40. woo. more shopping :). much chitter chatter, i mostly kind of hid on my computer. blah blah. We went to Sue's house and had more food. there was ham and scalloped potatoes and this vegetable casserole thing that looked like it was going to eat me. They have a trampoline. Sven jumped on it nearly the whole time. We opened presents and surprise! I got a curtain rod! i also got a curtain. for my room. thanks grams. i also got a new calvin and hobbes book called 'the Authoritative' woo. new fun reading. but my sister got this awesome book called the davinci code. it looks really good. no worries. she also got a curtain rod. i also got $15 for old navy. (that i already have spent on my skirt) Found out some interesting things about my cousin. very interesting indeed. and.. an interesting conversation followed it when we left for home. hmmm..
I think thats all i can say about that stuff. i should probably tell about today though.
i went to a nifty little church on captiva. ate lunch at a place called the key lime bistro or something with ninni, richard, mom, and sven. i had food. we walked for a while. a long while. um.. we walked back to the car on the beach. We drove to a shell museum. my aunt liked it but i almost collapsed to the floor in hopes of sleep to drown out my boredom. whoa. big sentence.
We drove to Costco to get food and me sven and richard went and got ice cream. kirkland yogurt rocks. i had the berry sundae thing, sven had a huge ass cup of chocolate ice cream, and richard had a swirl of chocolate and vanilla. sven sucked his down in less than 5 minutes. no joke. that kid is like a vacuum. richard finished 10 minutes later, and i finished 10 minutes after him. sven thinks im a really slow eater. how can i eat fast? my tongue was numb almost the whole time so i couldnt exactly feel if i was talking correctly or drooling. i took it slow. We had pizza for dinner and i played some ps2. i am now very angry with my computer because i downloaded the setup program for Adobe Photoshop 7 and it refuses to extract the files in the D drive. it really wants to take 'em out in the C drive which has literally no space at all. the setup program is in the d drive. what the hell is wrong with my computer??
who cares. im a bit tired. Tomorrow everyone but mother and father are going to bike 20 miles up and down Sanibel. I can already tell it will be lots of fun.

woo. my normal icon is back :) if you want my other icon just ask for it. i really dont care.

Ok, i can already tell that this is going to be a long-ass journal entry, so if you want to spare future damage to your eyesight then walk away. now.

alright, those who thought they'd brave out my.... entry.. are now here because some pansies already took off running. i can feel it. :D Here we go:
Ow
I figured that id start out with what happened today because id just screw up the beginning anyways. because im just retarded like that. Alright. This morning i woke up at like 10, give or take. I watched a bit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (and so saying may i point out that it is one of the most hilarious movies ive seen yet) and i went off to spend some of the money i got for christmas. me and Lisa went to Old Navy and i got a really cute skirt that was on sale. good bye gift card. then we went to gap because mum said there were some good things on sale. no. nothing. and i was eyeing a cute shirt at Old navy too :( o well. then we went to Barnes and Noble and I got 2 books. well, theyre technically lisa's, but.. ok, they are two of the hilarious-pee-in-your-pants type of books. they are 'Angus, thongs, and full-frontal snogging' and 'On the bright side i am now the girlfriend of a sex god' ok, whatever youre thinking of when you saw the last title is wrong. im serious. they call really hot guys in england sex gods.. because they do. if you have a problem with it go talk to some english people. but dont bring on some revolution. the last thing i want is to end up driving on the wrong side of the road. or to have another independence day.
moving on.. alrighty. after that i downloaded psp8 which totally rocks. (for those of you who are not some computer dork like me, it stands for paint shop pro 8) i messed around with it a bit and then at 7:00 it was off to dinner with:
mom, dad, lisa, sven, ninni, richard, sue, duff, michelle, danielle, and grandma. yay. not. well, we had reservations at 7:30 for some place called Johnny's Den on the beach. it was a seafood place. beautifully done since both my parents know that me and lisa hate fish.grr. turns out that since we were 10 minutes late, they gave out table away. 10 minutes. retards. we stood there for quite a while. 40 minutes? who knows. i was a bit bored. we got our tables. yea, they pushed three tables together to make us all fit. 12 people is obviously a big number to them or something.
gotta hurry this up. i have to wake up early tomorrow.
ok, this wont be as detailed and not as long as i thought it would be, but hey.. i need to go to church tomorrow. eck.
Uh, they gave us shrimp as appetizers.. we got 5 loaves of bread.. we ordered. um, we got our salad first. i had a house salad with ranch. yum. we got the main course. i had crispy fried shrimp. we waited, and left. came home and i felt like my stomach was going to explode. not in the way of being full either. its quite a strange feeling. to have your stomach grumble, bubble, twist, and jump all at the same time.
think of a happy place think of a happy place.
that was today. o wait. me mom lisa and richard watched gone in 60 seconds. haha eleanor! (<-- andrea should know) uh.. yea well, if ya notice my icon i designed it! yay! i like that line of my favorrrriittttee movie (potc for people who live under rocks) so i had to put it on there. hmm.. im changing it back tomorrow to my old one though. *shrugs*
must go! it is 12:04. o shit. its tomorrow already. i mean, it would be tomorrow yesterday.. which was 4 minutes ago. but its today now. i have to go to church today! have fun kids. i'll speak of the wonders of christmas another day :)

Christmas Eve. [insert cheerful christmas music]
Santa is coming tonight
And I want a car, and I want a life
And I want a first class trip to Hawaii
I want a lifetime supply
Of skittles & slurpees and Eskimo pies
I want a DVD,
A big screen TV
Just bring me things that I don't need

'Cuz now it's Christmas
And I want everything
I just can't wait
Christmas
So don't stop spending
I want a million gifts, that's right
Don't forget my Christmas list tonight
'Cuz now it's Christmas

Somebody take me away
Or give me a time machine
To take me straight to midnight
I'll be alright

I want a girl in my bed
Who knows what to do
A PlayStation 2
I want a shopping spree
In New York City
Just bring me things that I don't need

'Cuz now it's Christmas
And I want everything
I just can't wait
Christmas
So don't stop spending
I want a million gifts, that's right
Don't forget my Christmas list tonight
'Cuz now it's Christmas

I wish I could take this day
And make it last forever
And no matter what I get tonight
I want more

It's Christmas and I want everything
I just can't wait
It's Christmas and I want everything now

Christmas
And I want everything
I just can't wait
Christmas
So don't stop spending, I
Want a million gifts,
That's right
And I can't wait 'til midnight
Don't forget my Christmas list tonight
'Cuz now it's Christmas

I think my bum fell off..
Holy shit. double holy shit with knobs. (haha ana)
I think my bum fell off. I have been sitting for the exams. My brain hurts. so does my head and.. anything pertaining to knowledge at all.
I haven't updated in a while.. lets see... i went shopping for presents for friends over the weekend. i have too many friends. im broke. on monday it was review for exams in most of my classes. i take that back. all of them were review. you can imagine all my fun. anyways.. on tuesday i passed out presents. alot of presents. too many to really count. my arm was really sore. i also had my business system exam. it was easy as.. pie. i like pie. i had lessons. way fun. not.
wednesday was... crap really. i had my drawing 1 exam and then algebra 2. it was windy and i was painting. thats all im going to say.
the math exam was retarded. i think i got a few wrong. *cough* more than a few... the oc was on. i loved it. wooo go tv for making my life better.
today was retarded to. i mean monkey-ass retarded. why? lets see.. could it have something to do with my biology exam? no. it couldnt possibly have to do with that.
i also had another art exam. (ceramics) i was amazed at its lameness. we had to watch dumb potter movies and list similarities and stuff. i almost died. and ana, whatever the whole thing with uh, the thing is, i dont think it matters that much. so butt monkey to anyone who is mean :)
moving on. since lisa is a senior so she is exempt from exams and doesnt have to go to school. well, she picked me up after school and i got to go to mom's office. i once again saw the wonderous whiteness. for two hours. i was pretty pissed. i finished my book though. i cant wait to get the third one.
uh... i got burger king because i was starving. they have good sourdough burger things. or whatever the hell they're called. i dont really know.
I love the starting line. chrissie got me the cd for christmas. i died of happiness when i opened it. :D
did you know its freezing outside? colder than.. well... im out of clever similies so you can pretend you know how cold it is so i can move on. thanks.
I now need to practice more flute for the band exam tomorrow. roar. i hate exams. and i get to babysit this weekend. on friday. but i think im goin bowlin on sunday. :D yay!
OH MY GIDDY AUNT!!

:: Mood: ecstatic
:: Music: Brand New.. Ana, im seriously burning you this cd

Aye, Avast!
haha. today was superfantastic great. totally spifforific. :D i was extremely joyful first and second period. In first period me, carolyn and carrie talked. well not carolyn.. she lost her voice. me and carrie were crackin on her lmao!! anyways.. carrie made these hats out of a dollar bill. since they looked like pirate hats, we decided to put happy faces on our fingers. Carrie ended up having Jack Sparrow on her finger, the bandana and all. it was really funny. i had will turner on mine. he had hair and a ridiculously huge smile. If anyone asked me a question, i would say 'Aye, Avast!' Carrie just said random quotes like 'no one. he's no one. a distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. lovely singing voice though. eunuch.' and 'and really bad eggs.. drink up me 'arties, yo ho'. it was extremely hilarious, but i was a bit drunk on happiness. we also put spanish moss in this one girl's purse who we really dislike. she's super tacky.. even ana hates her. hahaha. i dont think she found it though..
second period was quite funny. Me and ana tried to make more tiles. it was really funny because this huge ass piece of canvas was covering the whole back of the room. we had to go under the clay thing to make a slab. hahaha. fuun. anyways.. we were listening to beyonce (no, it wasnt our choice.. i wanted to throw the computer across the room) :D and there were some comments made and i said 'i'd rather be with my finger' (since, of course, it was totally rockin with it's hat) and *cough* she took it the wrong way. it was spifforific. :D :D :D
it was raining when we were walking from the center, so we left a minute early. me and carrie went the way carolyn usually goes and i kept saying aye, avast! to everything she said. it was funny because mark came out and i was like 'will tuuuurnerrrr' and looked at me like i was crazy. i really hope that kid dies someday. not like how im plotting keifers death. this is different. ill explain someday when i have more time. maybe a little later tonight.
third period was lame. blaaaaah. we got a new piece of music.
fourth period.. a christman miracle happened. i was in math, and was like ' whoa, this is majorly boring' and i had the worst thought in the world. i started thinking 'i wish i was in 5th period'
DO YOU KNOW WHAT FIFTH PERIOD IS?! ITS BIOLOGY! IM FUCKING CRAZY!!
but, it just so happens that fifth period wasn't that bad. no quiz :D i got to take lame notes.
at lunch, i found out that lindsay got Pirates of the Caribbean. I am going to go to her house when she is at soccer and steal it hahahaha. ;D just kidding.. i'll just head over to her place when i feel like drooling over an inanimate object (the tv dipshit). sixth period we had a sub ( YAY!!!!) and we worked on the dialogue thing again. i was laughing almost the whole time.. at lisa lmao. she didnt know what 'procrastinate' meant. holy shit she is the most hilarious person i know. and its not just her 'large' vocabulary usage either. its just the stuff that happens to come out of her mouth at exactly the right time to make it funny. :D
in seventh period i was talking to melissa again! :D we talked about.. i dunno, it was a complete variety of stuff actually.. about eli, guitars, some kid, and... other stuff. it was really funny though. we took a typing test. we were allowed one error and had to type over 35 words a minute. hahaha. i passed. neener neener neeeeneerrrrrr....
SECTIONALS!
sectionals were today. i thought they would be boring but they were so fucking hilarious. isnt that right kelly? yea, well... we were with mr. bennett today so that's half the reason right there. on the new song we got, kelly forgot to number the music (we were sharing a stand) and mr. bennett was like 'lets start at measure [insert random number here]' she numbered it really fast and when he said to start at measure 39, we didnt play because everyone was playing something different. the situation was ever so funny already and we were talking about it and i was so confused. i pointed like 'were supposed to start up here' and mr. bennett was like 'whats so interesting? are you guys watching the superbowl or something?' i laughed so hard. kelly numbered an eight measure rest as on measure. there were other incidents that i dont have time to explain, but believe me.. it was funny.
maybe only some form of band person could understand that, but i thought it was a real kneeslapper. :D
after that i had to go 5 million places with my mom and i got home at.. what? 5:30? who knows... but i got burger king, so that kicked.
bio awaits me

*insert catchy phrase*
blah blah first period blah.
boring. i found out that the project that we're doing is due on thursday. im not even half way done. how lame is that? Turns out that i totally forgot that i had band pictures. i forgot my concert dress. lisa called home and mom dropped it off.
second period.. me and ana were left again. thats ok though. We didn't any farther anyways. Ana had her assessment today. ;D i heard ms. roeder say "that's an excellent piece. so is that" i screamed 'woo! go ana!' in my head. im not retarded enough to yell it to nobody in particular. wait.. nevermind. im leaving that statement alone.
third period was band pictures. The other day, mr. daniels was talkin to mr. bennett and he was like 'can this band get any better? i think it'll get worse' i was like 'thats horseshit. we dont listen because you're a dumbass' i personally think that we are falling into a downward spiral and we will gradually get respect for being the worst band.
whoa buddy! math was easy!! yea.. keifer had sugar... i think thats all i should say about that. seriously. hes not allowed to have sugar. i was about to smack him too. i swear to god he can be pretty damn annoying. of course, i did it with a smile on my face. he knows im plotting his death ;) no hard feelings, buddy :)
fifth period. i did not finish my homework- no big suprise. i haven't even looked at it since i came home. urrgh. i hate biology.
haha nola.. they're such fons! and sobs!! hahahaha. fun times. escahpay!
sixth period i turned in my journal. me, sabrina, lisa, and jackie are in a group to change 'the gift of the magi' into a dialogue-play thing. god.. i dont understand how ms greene can even come up with this crap. *sigh* in seventh period me and melissa talked more :D we should totally learn bass from tom and eli!!!!!!! ahhhh!! that would totally rock!! that thing would be huge for me though... ;D
hmm... i did a bunch of work. my head hurts now :( im not eating dinner though. im not hungry. which isnt that strange for me anymore.
and just for one moment id like to say:
EXAMS ARE UPON US! AHH! KILL ME NOW! I AM GOING TO DIE!
sorry. i had to let it out.
anyways.. i think im going to buy a little sketchbook thing for lyrics and stuff. i hate my big ass one.. its too.. big. blah.
i must leave you.
*Rina

... we are in the second day of christman. schedule your events accordingly.
and, if you ask me what im doing, i will most likely reply 'waiting for life to shower me with happiness and meaning' so to spare me this phrase, just.. dont ask. :)
