Can You Say TOURETTES??

oh my frickin crud i was so freaked out this morning!! it all started in drama when my friend, who shall remain nameless, and i were discussing my friend's problems with her family, her dad in particular...well, literally out of nowhere, the guy sitting behind her (we'll call him bob for 2 reasons: A) i dont remember his real name and B) i probably shouldnt put his name on the web in this context even if i did know it) completely flipped out!! he pushed the desk away from him with quite a bit of force, stood up, and screamed "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY??!!" at my friend...she promptly reminded him that he wasnt exactly part of our conversation, but he ignored her, asking the same question twice more...when someone finally decided to come to our rescue and tell the crazed lunatic to calm down, the tourettes victim began a series of "STAY AWAY FROM ME!!"s...thats when someone ran out to get the teacher...about time, people!! of course, it didnt end there...the crazy guy, drooling all over the place, picked up this huge textbook and held it over his head...if he had thrown it at someone, which we all thought he would, i definately would have screamed, but luckily i didnt need to because he settled for slamming it on the desk...he then proceeded to run down the aisle between mine and my friend's desks, waving his arms madly and screaming unintelligably, and out the door...we heard him yelling all the way down the hall to the nurse's office...when the teacher finally came in after escorting him to the clinic, he decided he may as well not even try to extinguish the rumors because he knew theyd erupt anyway...instead he said "we're not going to ignore what just happened because obviously we cant"...apparently dude was all freaking out cuz his grandmother had just died (my friend had mentioned her grandmothers funeral earlier in the class period, but had said nothing even mildly offensive, so his reason for flipping out is still a mystery) and his spaz out was due to his grief which had been set off by the conversation between my friend and myself...i was shaking the rest of the period cuz i was pretty much paranoid that he would show up in class with a gun or something...it was so insane!! it doesnt even sound real!! i wouldnt even believe it if i hadnt been there myself...the really sad part is that it was all kind of funny in a sick twisted kind of way...i mean what would you do if some weird kid sitting less than 2 feet away from you completely flipped for no apparent reason?? you would either be terrified or doubled over with laughter!! so yeah, just thought id share that freaky little bit of my day...remember, if the weird kids sitting near you while youre having a conversation, you should probably just pass notes!! this has been A Few Words of Advice and An Anecdote With Stevie Lee...tune in next time for the drama room shooting...of course, thats IF i make it out alive!!

Being Sick

ima just come right out and say it: being sick sucks!! i mean sure, i get to lose a bunch of school, but wheres the fun in that if im sneezing and coughing every 5 seconds?? i had to go to the doctors today and they gave me all this medication that i have to take...the only good thing about it is that i get to take pills instead of that nasty liquid crap that seems to be the only thing we have at the house!! yeah anyway it sucks...AND tomorrow is fcat, so unless i take the makeup test later, i have to go to school, and i HATE taking makeup tests...its so akward cuz theres like nobody there when you take it...of course, the fcat might be different but still...i just really wanna go to sleep but i cant cuz its only 5:48...ugh being sick is so complicated!! plus, i can never just have one thing wrong with me now can i?? no!! instead, i have A) the common cold, B) a weird "carbuncle" (an ugly boil-pimple-like thing) on the back of my neck that POPPED (which is DISGUSTING, by the way!!), AND C) my head and back hurt like crap...ive used up 3 boxes of tissue and now my nose is all red and i cant touch it w/o it getting all sore and junk...its the 21st century, people!! just come up with a cure for the common cold already so i can get on with my life and only have to deal with the stupid neck thing!! im probably boring the 2 people who might actually read this, but i have to get it off my chest somehow...i dont have a diary, so this is the next best thing, i guess...so if i have bored you to the point of insanity, you can either A) go off on your merry way after having 15 minutes of your precious life wasted by this aggravated ranting, B) comment on it telling me how bored (or entertained if youre some kind of freak) you were by my aggravated ranting, or C) think of something else to do cuz i only thought of 2...so yeah ill shut up now...bye

Burning Up: On Tour With The Jonas Brothers

yesterday i went to walmart and bought the jonas brothers book...i finished reading it today and i must say it was quite interesting!! some of the pictures just cracked me up, and the captions were even better!! like this one, for instance:

yeah...that one's great...anyway, some of the stuff in the book reminded me of certain people...like pretty much everything nick wrote reminded me of megan, and the stuff joe wrote reminded me of both myself (which kinda freaked me out) and a very concieted person (which disturbed me because of my prior observation) because of the 5 million pages that were about him...whatever, overall the book was pretty cool...definately worth the 15 bucks i paid for it!! also, i kinda dig some of the fashion choices made by the guys, like joe's red suit and gold jacket and all of their sunglasses...i also really liked a hat one of them was wearing...i cant remember who...but yeah, that was random...so anyway, just go read the book cuz theres more than just funny pictures and nice clothes in there...some of the stuff they wrote was really...well, nice, for lack of a better word!! like, it shows their emotional side, i guess...you know, what they're like offstage and away from the cameras...they really have close ties to each other and the rest of the family and you can tell they really enjoy what they do...just go out and read the book!! im tired of writing about it...well im actually not digging my computer so much right now cuz of the dumb photobucket incident, but thats a whole different story!! so yeah...later...

Christmas Music

im a fairly unenthusiastic person when it comes to most holidays, and christmas is no exception, but this year im kinda starting to get a bit more into the spirit...i guess because im starting to hear some familiar songs (and some not-so-familiar) sang by people who can actually sing...no offense, but johnny cash and elvis have some of the most annoying voices ive ever heard and they should not be allowed to record holiday albums...it doesnt help that my mother has some kind of strange obsession with christmas song and needs to buy every new holiday cd that comes out!! anyway, back to the better artists...here are some examples:

• hawk nelson's christmas cd, including "last christmas"
• taylor swift's "santa baby" and "last christmas"
• the jonas brothers' "girl of my dreams", "joyful kings", and "christmas song" (that ones really really REALLY old...)
• flyleaf's "christmas song"
• fm static's version of "christmas shoes"

you can look all of them up on youtube...but yeah, since im hearing more and more christmas songs being recorded by artists with actual talent, i haven't minded most of the christmas spirit this year...its weird, i know...of course, im STILL not crazy about all these unecessary holiday parties my mother insists on throwing...people...ew...

Oops

yeah...i was gonna write on here a while ago cuz there was something really important i had to say, but i forgot what it was...i think i was just gonna complain about a really bad day i had...idk...well since my last post a few things have happened: joe jonas broke up with taylor swift over the phone in 27 seconds, this contest i entered a while back ended, and i saw the twilight movie!!

1. ok, so about the whole breakup thing...i have no idea why i followed that whole drama thingy so closely...i guess its just i like taylor swift and i like the jonas brothers...i dont know, but i find that i respect taylor a little less now that i know that she was the one that ended the call at 27 seconds, and because she was being really immature about the whole thing and telling anyone who would listen...after taking all of this into account, i cant really find any reason to look down on joe...i mean, sure he coulda broken up with her in person, but he had to have been kinda busy, seeing how hes a jonas brother...duh!! and i dont blame him for being the one to end the relationship because sometimes people just have a "change of heart"...taylor even said so herself in "breathe": "people are people and sometimes we change our minds"...so yeah, thats where i stand on that issue
2. a while back i entered a contest to win a trip to the bahamas and to see a private jonas brothers concert...well, it ended at 11:59 on Friday night...i havent heard anything yet, even though my sister, her boyfriend, my friend, and i all entered ourselves 10 times each...i may seem calm on the outside, but inwardly i am freaking out...they were supposed to choose the winner yesterday...i need to win...if i dont ill die...what if i have a heart attack and die, then they tell me i won!! i think i would cry...that would be horrible!! im hyperventilating!! HELP!!
3. ok new subject...the twilight movie!! it had really bad acting and the plot got all screwed up in the process of making the movie, but it was still AMAZING!! you can even ask megan...the whole time we were in the theater, i had to keep hitting her cuz for some strange reason (maybe because of the vast multitude of attractive male actor on the screen), she kept randomly screaming out "ooh i wanna piece of THAT!!", or "look that that SEXY BEAST!!", or even "MMM-MM!!"...it was actually quite entertaing because the people around us were growing quite annoyed...then, when we saw something that didnt happen in the book, we would simultaneously freak out about it, sometimes laughing so hard about it that it was almost impossible to stop and that the people in front of us felt the need to leave (ok, so that may not have been our fault, but im gonna take the blame for it anyway!!)...then, when we left the theater, we were immediately grateful that we had gone to the 4:30 showing because the line for the 7:00 showing came from the theater, went down the hall, and wrapped back aroud to end pretty much even with the front of the line...it was bad...so yeah, GO SEE THE MOVIE!!

well, thats pretty much everything that happened...well, except for the fact that i went shopping yesterday and that my brother, pete, came down for thanksgiving...dude needs to stop using my bathroom...its gross...so yeah, thats it for now!! peace!!

high school experiment

isnt it funny how something as simple as a new school can change someone so drastically that they're hardly even recognizable as the same person anymore?? well, its not exactly funny an the "ha ha" sense, but its kinda wierd...did i change when i started high school?? was i just too absorbed in what was happening that i couldnt see how far id come from what i was like even a month before?? i dont know, but ive been conducting a little "experiment" if you will about how long it takes a certain test subject to change after starting high school and also how long it takes said test subject to figure it out...to protect this persons privacy (though they dont even know im using them for my little "experiment"), well call the test subject "ts"...so lets start from the beginning: before the start of the school year, ts was a devout christian, they could care less about people of the opposite gender (at least, they weren't insane about it), and they were willing to stay up until the wee hours of the morning doing school work to avoid failing...seems like ts has a pretty good head on their shoulders, right?? well that all pretty much stopped after the first month of school...now: ts basically refuses to come to church, with excuses ready for anyone who tries to question ts's motives...ts has become "boy-crazy" (i say boy, but that doesn't neccessarily mean ts is a girl...i mean, girl-crazy sounds dumb), talking about that certain someone ALL THE TIME, making it virtually unbearable to talk to them...and as for ts's schoolwork?? well, they may be getting a's, but its not because they're faithfully completing their homework every night...more like their copying down answers from the first source they can find, or not even doing the assignments at all!! its a wonder how ts's teachers dont catch that!! now, whats sad is that this person is still (as far as i know) oblivious to all of this, though most of the people they used to associate with have been talking and we all agree that something's changed...wouldn't you agree, even without knowing ts?? sadly, though, nobody seems to really care but myself...maybe because im so wrapped up in everything thats going on around me instead of just whats happening in my life?? i dont know, but something has to be done...we cant just let all these poor freshmen enter high school as themselves and come out as completely different people!! i mean, sure we all change throughout school, but wouldnt it be better to change in a positive way?? growth is always better than straight-up change in my opinion, so shouldn't we be growing instead of changing?? of course, i cant say that ts is the only person whos changed throughout this "experiment"...ive also kinda been testing myself to see how long it would take me to snap and tell this person off for straying away from the person they were before...i mean, i know its their choice, but come on!! am i supposed to just sit back and let this happen!!?? well, thanks for letting me just get that off my chest...its really been bugging me...a lot...oh, and if ts happens to see this and recognizes it as themself, id just like to say sorry, but its true; i cant deny it...sorry

Why

ok, last night i figured, "hey, y not read that book u need 2 read for history??" so i did...and it literally put me 2 sleep!! i woke up at 6:30am in bed w/ all the lights on and my book on the floor...plus i had this really bad cramp that would NOT go away...so eventually, like a half-hour later, the pain died down enough for me 2 fall asleep, but i didnt get 2 sleep for long cuz my dad woke me up at 9 so i could watch danny while he went on some stupid old guy motorcycle ride w/ my mom and a bunch of his old guy friends...it sucked cuz i NEED 2 sleep until AT LEAST noon if im gonna be able 2 function correctly...i am so mad right now!! so anyway, i just spent the last hour checking my email, going on facebook, and watching the jonas brothers last web chat from like a year ago...exciting, huh?? well i DID enter myself in this contest 2 win a vacation w/ jb, but im not gonna win and i really couldnt care less if i did or not...i dont really care about anything this morning except that i really wanna be asleep...and my parents didnt even leave food for lunch, so im about 2 have 2 screaming nightmares running around the house asking for food...we dont even have milk, so even if i wanted 2 make macaroni and cheese or something, i cant!! i think im either gonna give them those donuts from 2 days ago or make some cupcake batter and make them eat that...idk how 2 actually make the cupcakes, just the batter...i wonder if there's anything in the other freezer in the garage?? hmm...i kinda wanna make a video of something today, but what?? danny wont dance 2 anything if i have a camera out so that wont work...oh no, i just heard one of them in the kitchen...i think they're hungry...ok it found chips...good...so back 2 the video...maybe i can teach danny that nick j dance or whatever its called...well I wont teach him, but he can watch a video or something...idk...more later i guess...
