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.
*Rina
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.

:: Music: Sevendust - Separate
Finished. Completed.
Out of the ashes I rise
I awaken and come to life
Slowly I open my eyes
Breathing for the first time
My skin cracks and bleeds
The moment comes and leaves
I feel the air as it breathes
Whispering what it needs
I shed this burning skin
And let loose the light within
Crushing darkness again
This life I’ll soon begin
I just need for time to wait
Slow down and separate
So I know what path to take
So I can finally find my way
Fire spreads through me like anger and deception
As the stars point me in the right direction
I follow to a point out of perception
Where lies the biggest fear of all conception
Well...There it is, I don't know what to name it yet, I just finished it. I know I like it though.

Raining Fire from the Sky
‘Raining Fire’
The clouds raining down fire
The sun glowing blue
What happened to desire?
What happened to you?
The holder of light
The one I had to kill
The essence of sight
But sight could never fill
This feeling of rage
I just can’t get out
Locked inside the cage
I scream I shout
But know ones there to hear
And then, from deep inside
From a nightmares fear
From what I always hide
Something calms me down
For just a second and then
Here comes the sound
Of thunder again
Maybe it was you
But how could you know
How could you do?
How could you show?
Everything I needed to see

“The Graves of Sadness”
Deep down in the graves of sadness
The dead sleep, nightmares of madness
As he walks he sees nothing but night
A cry of terror, a cry of fright
Is then thrown, from a soul un-kept
A life is stolen, and then all except
The dream is taken, it drifts away
Into the night, where it will stay
And everyone, unaware
Will walk around, without a care
But the one who knows it
Will forget, he never shows it
Then the story will be told
The story forever, long and cold
He thinks he thought it up one night
But the memories remain inside the mind
And to recall, without the sight
Everything, he once left behind
He will be killed in his sleep
So the secret, he is sure to keep
Down in his grave of madness
Nightmares filled with sadness
He awakes one night to find
He’s not the only one without a mind
Stole from him the only way
They know to have the secret stay
“The Graves of Sadness, Part 2”
Once dead I awaken again
My resurrection, brought back from death
Twice lived, once I’ve died
Brought back with life’s last breath
The infestation of this new body of mine
Will wholly leave all else behind
Except the memories that hide in me
That dark night so long ago
My eyes open and I realize they weren’t closed
I breathe only because now it’s imposed
Looking over I see my open grave
People standing over me in this new age
I sit up screaming life into the night
An open window, curtains blind my sight
Everything I see around me
Triggers memories inside the past
That dark night so long ago
The memories are sure to last
But their scars will never show
The pain inside is maddening
The grief I hold, the memory saddening
I can’t pay attention to what’s happening
I fall back into the grave
Hands pulling me down into the dirt
A terror built from memories
I can’t let go of pain and hurt

:: Mood: Mostly frustrated.. feel my wrath
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.
*Carina
woo. my normal icon is back :) if you want my other icon just ask for it. i really dont care.

ow and yay and yum!
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 :)

Santa is coming tonight
And I want a car, and I want a life
And I want a first class trip to Hawaii

Of skittles & slurpees and Eskimo pies

Somebody take me away
Or give me a time machine
To take me straight to midnight

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

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

So don't stop spending, I
Want a million gifts,

And I can't wait 'til midnight
Don't forget my Christmas list tonight

it is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life.
no pleasure is a bad thing in itself, but the things which produce certain pleasures entail disturbances many times greater than the pleasures themselves.
the just man is most free from disturbance, while the unjust is full of the utmost disturbance.
bodily pleasure does not increase when the pain of want has been removed; after that it only admits of variation. the limit of mental pleasure, however, is reached when we reflect on these bodily pleasures and their related emotions, which used to cause the mind the greatest alarms.
he who understands the limits of life knows that it is easy to obtain that which removes the pain of want and makes the whole of life complete and perfect. thus he has no longer any need of things which involve struggle.
if you do not on every occasion refer each of your actions to the ultimate end prescribed by nature, but instead of this, in the act of choice or avoidance, turn to some other end, your actions will not be consistent with your theories.
of our desires, some are natural and necessary, others are natural but not necessary; and others are neither natural nor necessary, but are due to groundless opinion.
poverty, if measured by the natural end, is great wealth; but wealth, if not limited, is great poverty.
some men spend their whole life furnishing for themselves the things proper to life without realizing that at our birth each of us was poured a mortal brew to drink.
don't spoil what you have by desiring what you don't have; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.
the love of money, if unjustly gained, is impious, and, if justly, shameful; for it is inappropriate to be miserly even with justice on one's side.
the wise man who has become accustomed to necessities knows better how to share with others than how to take from them, so great a treasure of self-sufficiency has he found.
[addressing a young man] i understand from you that your natural disposition is too much inclined toward sexual passion. follow your inclination as you will, provided only that you neither violate the laws, disturb well-established customs, harm any one of your neighbors, injure your own body, nor waste your possessions. that you be not checked by one or more of these provisons is impossible; for a man never gets any good from sexual passion, and he is fortunate if he does not receive harm.
the wise man feels no more pain when being tortured himself than when his friend is tortured, and will die for him; for if he betrays his friend, his whole life will be confounded by distrust and completely upset.
what cannot be satisfied is not a man's stomach, as most men think, but rather the false opinion that the stomach requires unlimited filling.
nothing is enough to someone for whom what is enough is little.
do nothing in your life that will cause you to fear if it is discovered by your neighbor.
the soul neither rids itself of disturbance nor gains a worthwhile joy through the possession of greatest wealth, nor by the honor and admiration bestowed by the crowd, or through any of the other things sought by unlimited desire.
- epicurius

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICAN GLADIATOR!
i must say that i love the fact that people fall asleep and enter into this scary realm of unconsciousness, and yet their brains are still working, (probably harder than they do during the day, imagination-wise) and they create some of the most interesting and beautiful things ever. salvador dali used to wake up in the middle of the night after he had some crazy dream and he'd paint it out right then so he wouldn't forget any details.
i have to describe a dream i had last night. i was outside, sitting in some bleachers that were facing a large open grassy field. there were some foresty areas on the sides of the field. it reminded me of the backyard of my grandparents' cottage in prudenville, minus the lake. it seems that i was in the crowd of The Price is Right. people were down on the grass, behind podiums, wagering money. my cousin tom was sitting with me, drinking a beer. my other cousin (tom's sister) stephanie, was there too. then suddenly david bowie was on the grass, all alone, playing "the man who sold the world." that was it.
what freaks me out is how things form. especially animals. especially us. we start out as nothing more than cells. a sperm and an egg unite. little, tiny, supposedly meaningless, cells. they create a zygote. and from this junction of two measly little cells comes specialized cells... cells for everything... heart cells, nerve cells, lung cells, tissue cells, muscle cells, skin cells, brain cells, cartilage cells (chondrocytes!), blood cells, bone cells (osteocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts!), etc. and all of these millions of tiny cells join together by the masses to create whole fibers and tissues to create whole organs. and these organs are all connected to each other to form our bodies. everything functions together. every part of our bodies relies on the other parts. and there's one little squishy brain in charge of everything. my God, it's amazing. it's perfect. look at your hand. isn't it beautiful? and your ears. and your nose. the shape of your back and your legs. how the muscles move and contract. how the bones in your arms bend and twist. everything has a purpose. i feel so bad for the organs and bones and muscles in my body. they work day in and day out, never faltering. they never even get a break. they keep me healthy. they allow me to do so many different things. my heart especially. a small, soft muscle, contracting every second, so that i can live and breathe and see. it has so much power, it gives me life. and yet i'll never even be able to thank it for all that it's done for me. that makes me sad. seriously. poor little heart. i love you.

:: 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

in the way sometimes.

*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. :)

another day passes by while i sit and watch the clock stand still..
today was ok.
first period was dumb.
in second period, james, jesenia, and tiffany left me and ana to do the tiles. fuckers. i hate it when that happens. but we made some gargantuous slabs didnt we? hell yea. we are going to beat the shit out of james haha. nothing happened third period. nothing. Me and Darbie wrote notes because Mr. Bennett was working on the brass section and stuff. we were trying really hard not to laugh. i told her that we should just throw a bomb, put on gas masks, and make a mad dash toward the door. hahaha.
In fourth period we learned some new stuff that i didnt get at first because i was reading my book. which is very good by the way. i understood it as soon as i looked at the book. when i was home. listening to really loud music... anyways..
in bio, i have a lot of homework that im not even close to finishing. i swear to god ms. freis thinks we have no other classes that gives us homework. what word can i describe this with? fucker. blah to you and your damn assignments.
sixth period i wrote lyrics. because it was pretty boring. but i laughed like hell the first 10 minutes. i have no idea why, but i was seriously really slap happy. strange.. in seventh period i finished early again (big suprise) and could not bring myself to look at my homework. i ended up talking to melissa, and it turns out that her brother gives Eli bass lessons.
Yes, Eli is learning to play bass..
i can not picture him (because he is tall and lanky) holding a bass let alone playing it. i laughed. it was funny. I told melissa to tell him that i said hi.
urrrrggghh. i have a huge ass headache. not fair :(
well, i guess thats my day. i cant believe i have to babysit this weekend. 4 hours with connor and like 6 with these 2 kids i dont even know. fuuun. at least ill have money for christmas shopping. god knows i need it.
shut up. i procrastinate...
