prom, poetry, paronomasia

Okay so there's really no paronomasia involved in this journal entry, I just needed something else that started with "p." Don't know what it means? Dictionary.com is your friend.

Anyway, yeah. Went to prom at OA on Saturday; it pretty much kicked ass, and I looked stellar in my awesome dress and bling and such, if I do say so myself, and I do. We had dinner beforehand at my friend Mia's house; her dad cooked and it was DELICIOUS. Then we had dessert at my friend Paul's house, which his mom cooked, and it was also DELICIOUS. And we had our after-prom party at Paul's too, with hot dogs and leftover dessert and other snacks, and we played Taboo and Euchre and basically had a blast. Kim and I and somebody else, I think Lisa, had to borrow clothes from Paul 'cause we forgot to bring something to change into out of our dresses, and it was rather comical, seeing as how he's about a foot and a half taller than me so his shorts were down way past my knees.... Anyway, it was great. We didn't get back to Kim's until after 4 a.m. and then we slept like the dead until noon. Good times.

Anyhow.....yeah that's pretty much it. Peace out, peoples.

I'm surrounded by incompetence.

So yeah, I got a meeting w/the stupid a---er, manager---on Wednesday; I'm gonna give him what-for and put in my 2 weeks. Ass. Ah I will so love not having to work there anymore. Although I will certainly miss my (crappy) paychecks. But yes. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. :P

And I should be taking the AP English Language & Comp. exam right now, but somebody *cough ELLER cough* didn't order my exam. Ass. So he has to call the AP people and see if he can get another one and have me take it some other time. Gr. *steams*

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Okay, so I'm really sick of Subway. Like, yeah. I wanna kill it. And daylight savings time. Stupid Mitch Daniels. I wish he'd just go die, or better yet, do something so incredibly stupid and offensive that even his goddamn sheep supporters would see what a moron he is and we could have a reason to boot him out. But still, the damage is already done. Damn daylight savings time. We seemed to be getting along just fine without it.

But I digress....see, the reason I'm all mad at DST is that now, everybody's all like, "Hey, let's go to Subway at 9:52 pm! woo!" We close at 10 o'clock, right, and I'm all by my lonesome because the pre-closer leaves at nine, and so I've got like, ten people in line and a huge pile of dishes to do and a million other things besides. AND they've added more stuff to do to the closer's list. So whereas I used to be able to get out of there by 10:15 on a reasonable night, now I'm there 'til 10:50 or later. Joy. AND, the fucking lock on the door still isn't fixed. It's been broken for over 10 months now. YOU CAN'T LOCK THE FUCKING DOOR FROM THE INSIDE!!!!! I didn't mind it so much when I was only there for like, 15 minutes, but if I'm gonna be there for almost an HOUR, well, yeah. I don't like it, and I don't care if it is the tiniest little excuse for a town in the world, it's on the goddamn highway alright? You can't just assume nothing's going to happen, because that's when something DOES happen---we already got burglarized once since I've been working there---I DON'T LIKE IT. GRRR!!!!

Anyway....yeah. I'm in a pissy mood tonight. I'm even cursing, I'm so grouchy. Ah well. It feels good to drop the f-bomb now and again---it lets off steam. And sometimes you just have to sit and stew, so that's what I'm doing. The whole world's full of fucking idiots and they're all being drawn to ME. Fuck.

I'm going to bed now. Meh.

My spring break was better than yours.

WOOT! So anyway, I'm back, and I have finally achieved that wonderous feat of having "NO NEW MESSAGES" again---whew! Remind me not to leave for two weeks at a time again....sheesh.....

So anyway, yes, Mexico was grand. Eight of us went, and we stayed with Mexican families, and took Spanish classes at the ICO (Instituto Cultural de Oaxaca, or something close to that) and workshops in the afternoon (I took ceramics and weaving) and salsa lessons! And then besides that we walked around Oaxaca a bunch and saw all sorts of interesting things, and we took trips to Tule, Teotitlan, and Monte Alban. Tule is this little village where they have a ginormous tree which is about 2000 years old; it is really famous for all the shapes you can see in its branches, supposedly. I could see most of them, but, well, I think some people have too much time on their hands. But it was nifty anyway. Teotitlan is another village, which is famous for its weaving. We got to see people weaving stuff by hand and the stuff they use to dye it and everthing; very interesting. I bought a rug. It is loverly. And then Monte Alban is ruins, and ruins are ruins, what more can I say? They were cool. The stairs were huge. It was on top of a mountain so there was a nice view.

Anyway, it was a lovely trip. My pictures were taken with a crummy $4 camera, so we'll see what I come up with when I get the film developed, but don't expect anything. If you want to see pictures (and you should) go check out Brock's page; he went too, and he's got some good ones. He also has a list on his page of the many hilarious inside jokes that none of you will understand because you weren't there but you should see them anyway because you just should.

So yeah. Good times. It almost makes me wish I wasn't graduating this year so I could go again next year. Almost. :D

Alrighty, well, yeah. I gotta go to bed now, 'cause I don't have school tomorrow and I have PLANS!!!

Brock, tu sabes.

Later!

random journal-ness

Yeah so I'm REALLY bored, so I'm gonna do a journal. woo!

Not much to write about...er....can't wait for spring break! two weeks in Mexico, complete Spanish language immersion, I'm gonna die! But hopefully I'll learn a lot. I'm getting so restless, I'm SO IMPATIENT!

Um....well, my grades last quarter ROCKED! And surprise surprise, my mom like, didn't even care. Whatever. I expected no less. :roll: Ah well, I'm proud.

Kim's coming this weekend, woo!

I'm in English right now, which sucks 'cause it's REALLY dull and I'm totally hyper. *spazzes*

Alright well that was fun. Blah....

things that make me happy

Alright so we had to write this paper for Ethics class about whether we think ethical behavior is increasing or decreasing in society, and mine was slightly less than optimistic, so now I’m kind of in a blah sort of mood…well everybody says you’re supposed to stop and smell the roses, be thankful for all the nice little things in life, right? so I’m gonna make a list. Here goes….

Things that make me happy:

kitties
long swishy skirts that you can twirl in
when you get a new CD and the lyrics are printed for you right there in the booklet
English accents
euchre
new pens
really windy days when you can lean into the wind and it’ll hold you up
pianos
rainbows
the way my house smells when we open all the windows for the first time in the spring
peeling Elmer’s glue off my fingers
Disney movies (the good ones)
blond jokes
weekends
playing in the rain
getting giggle fits in choir
thunderstorms
my friends
getting so lost in a good book I forget what time it is
purple lilacs
dancing
glow sticks (especially playing Red Rover with them at night in the backyard)
writing silly things in my econ book
long car trips
getting letters from friends
fencing with posters/kitchen utensils at K-Mart
hugs
talking for hours with somebody about anything, everything, and nothing at all
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream
really dark nights when the stars go on forever
feeling loved and appreciated

Alrighty well that’s it for now. I’m in a good mood again :D

Later pallies!

weekend and such

Awesome weekend, MUCHO CONGRATS to everyone in the play, it rocked my toe socks. Had people over, went out for Mexican and Indian food all in one day (not the same meal though), played euchre and Phase 10, stole leftover birthday cake from my lil bro's party, and much much more. It was wonderful.

AND....I got a prom dress! and shoes!! and it took less than an hour of shopping!!! That HAS to be a record. I despise clothes shopping, so it was glorious. And I got a wonderful deal and they are quite gorgeous if I do say so myself, which I do. :D Now I just need to find a dress for graduation (ack) and I'll be all set---with any luck, I'll never need to buy another formal dress again! Well, we'll see how that works out, anyway.

Alrighty well I'm slowly dying of a horrid cold, so I'm gonna go find some sinus medicine and fall asleep watching the last of the Oscars. Night all!
