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...

SYATP

ok, so yesterday i woke up half an hour early so i could get 2 school for 7:45 and do "see you at the pole", right?? well it cost me dearly...the whole day i was exhausted!! see, SYATP is this big annual event where christians at all the middle and high schools in the country gather at their school flagpole to pray...but the thing is, u have 2 wake up way early 2 get there on time...at least i didnt have 2 give my monologue!! i dont remember if i mentioned it yet on here but im in drama this year, and we are just now doing our first monologues...well, i got this really dumb one about this whiny little 14-year-old who helps out this blind woman for an hour everyday and who has some kinda juvenile delinquent for a best friend...i hate it...i really dont wanna get up in front of the whole class and perform it!! but whatever, ill live...anyway, back 2 see you at the pole...it was actually pretty cool cuz it was like all these christians were just coming out of the woodwork or something!! it was great 2 see so many of us out there praying w/o being ashamed of it...so yeah, i think everyone should have a chance 2 do it at least once cuz it makes u feel great the rest of the day, even if u ARE a wee bit tired...or dead on ur feet!!

Projects

grr...i hate projects...see, i just started a new school year last month and ive been assessing my new teachers...so far so good for the most part...of course they cant all be excellent, and so far ive been assigned 3 projects all around the same time...i had this big history project due friday, then i had a geometry project due the same day 2 periods later...now i have an english project to finish for tomorrow...i have to write a paper comparing Alas, Babylon and A Separate Peace...but the thing is i havent even started it yet and it was assigned 2 weeks ago...oops!! its my own fault i guess, but ive been working really hard lately just 2 be able 2 turn my work in...i can get about half done at night, but im lucky if i can get the rest done before the class its due in...im beginning to feel like ron and harry when they start getting all that homework in the fifth year and they werent even able 2 get half of it done before it was due...i think that was the fifth book, am i right?? whatever, i should probably be working on it shouldnt i?? well, hasta pronto!!

Jonas Brothers

mm-kay...so lately my sisters been watching camp rock like 24/7 and its kinda almost impossible 2 tune it out most of the time, so i guess u can say ive been watching the movie a lot...and ive come 2 the conclusion that i do not hate the jonas brothers, as was originally thought...of course, a lot of my not-hate was a product of my finding out that joe and nick wear promise rings w/ crosses on them...i know right?? its not really a reason 2 not-hate someone, but its a big thing in my eyes...i mean, does zac efron wear a promise ring?? NO!! actually, wasnt it thought at one point that he had gotten vanessa ann hudgens pregnant?? did he?? i dont know, but needless 2 say, i think the jonas brothers are way better role models than zac efron, whom my sister idolizes...and i think that instead of my little brother growing up 2 nothing but zac efron and having no one but zac 2 base his morals on, hes much better off with the jonas brothers...of course, if i could have my way, he'd grow up listening to hawk nelson, but he insists on listening to anything veronica listens to...oh well, i may have 2 go 2 a jonas brothers concert one of these days and do a bit more research...like i really wanna ask them if they're christians...like real christians, not "yeah i believe in God...@#$!%^&*&", u know?? so yeah, that should be a fun experience for me, especially since megan's now dying 2 go 2 a jonas brothers concert and i cant go ALONE!! so yeah, ill put more updates here as soon as i find a concert close enough 2 go 2 w/o all the adults freaking out and being all "no way thats 700 miles away!!"...minor details, minor details...

Camp Rock and Nursing Homes

ok so yesterday megan was all "lets have a movie night" and i say "mm-kay," thinking im gonna get 2 see some cool movies and such...bad idea...i ended up being forced 2 watch Camp Rock for the second time in 24 hours, and now i have all the songs stuck in my head...the only praise i can give these songs is that they're a heck of a lot more bearable than High School Musical, which SUCKED!! but yeah, so we watched that and The Game Plan and over all it was an ok movie night...but then we ended up looking at a magazine and reading every article with the words "nick", "kevin", "joe", or "jonas" in it...then got into this big conversation about how it would be cool 2 be friends w/ a jonas brother...it was pretty bad cuz eventually we got on the subject of future presidential assassinations...yeah, im not gonna go into detail about that one...so anyway, today we got 2 church and megan comes out w/ this amazingly horrid idea that we should go sing 2 old people...if there r 2 kinds of people it is impossible for me 2 work with, its young children and the elderly...i know i had 2 go 2 a nursing home in canadatown, but it wasnt really my forte, u know?? the old people dont like me...and as for singing...YEAH RIGHT!! so yeah, im gonna try 2 find a way 2 get out of that one...maybe we can go visit autistic kids or something...just nothing geriatric or pediatric, PLEASE!! well, hasta luego!!

Saddle Club

ok someone must remind me 2 never sit in my computer room for extended periods of time w/ turning the fan on...it was like 500 degrees in here!! anyway, the saddle club was where we did our little vacation bible school with the kids...basically it was this nasty building full of dirt and spit and stuff with substandard plumbing...yeah we had 2 use porto-potties cuz the water kept shutting off...it was gross...anyway, have u ever tried 2 fit 4 classrooms able 2 fit around 15 kids each into a tiny little building thats like im gonna guess 60x20?? yeah, its hard...well, the hardest part is actually putting up "walls" (theyre actually sheets...by the way, fitted sheets dont make very good walls) that wont fall down and finding places 4 all the kids 2 sit so they wont have 2 use the floor...they always end up on the floor anyway, but u know what im saying, right?? anyway, our theme for vbs this year was outrigger island, so we had 2 decorate the classrooms in a kind of hawaiian type fashion...i think we did pretty good:

looks pretty good, huh?? yeah well i can only take credit for the room in the first picture...that was my classroom, but really it was me, megan, and cory that decorated that room...stephanie was out delivering flyers 2 people...but yeah...so thats the saddle club...
