people like that waste air.

I feel your pain.

Thank you. 8-) *sigh* But I'm probably going to be stuck with her...no point in moaning and groaning.

Well my day at school went like this:

Sleep.
Sleep.
Stare at wall.
Sleep.
Get block-printing ink on self.
Die of boredom.
Die more.
Screw around with friends.
Sleep.

Yeah, nothin happened...

I slept through history and chemistry today. Hachachachacha.

i'm doing my 10-page report right now...it was due today.

harrr... today at school I was really loud and full of energy YAAY!

Today at school, my nose was bleeding for ten-fifteen minutes! Isn't that soooo impressive wow wow wow. I was late to MATH! C:

snow? Hehe, we're holding out hope for Friday here.

Okay, this happened yesterday, but it was still really funny. I was in health class with my friends, and we were watching a movie on the development of a baby inside the womb. There were hints toward some...um, embarassing stuff, and I was cracking up at it 'cause I thought it was HILARIOUS; I turn to my friend Brian, and he's beet red! What's so funny about it is that he's usually the type of person to shrug off and ignore that kind of stuff, but it actually embarassed him this time. PRICELESS. I wish I had a photo!

haha, i remember that video. I LMAO at it.

yeah...snowday8-)

It was AWFUL yesterday....

Okay, so Lacey (she's mine and Zack's friend) for two days she tries to see if Zack would ask me out to the dance, but he'd always just smile that shy smile and never give a straight answer. So yesterday in Homeroom, after passing notes around and whispering about going out to the dance, later on she walks up to me and tells me she's sorry, she JUST found out he already had a girlfriend and that he wasin't taking me out. So, I sit there for a few soconds telling myself "You're strong. Don't ever let a guy ake you cry." Well then I start sobbing :sadbendy:. I couldin't help it! And while I was crying Shinky and one of his buddies start snickering and saying stuff like "crybaby" and "Boo hoo hoo" and all that. Not that I cared. All I was upset about was Zack. A few girls came up to me and asked if I was okay. I asked a girl to ask Zack that if he had a girlfriend then why did he always smile at me, brush past my desk, and sneek looks at me all year long.
Well, he makes this jerk kind of a face and says "I never smilesd at her!".
Later that day in Art class I get called down to the office to talk to Ms. Chatman, the school counseler. She said that just before I came in, the Homeroom teacher brought Zack in to talk about what happened with me. She said that Zack felt bad about what happened and he was sorry for misleading me into thinking he liked me like that. She said that he's just a nice boy and that he'd smile at me just the same as he'd smile at me or anybody. And THAT was what my day was like.
My friends at least made me feel better :). Jason, (he's the one I might have mentioned before about us sorta holding hands in the lunchline a while back) he was going toward the water fountain and one of his buddies looks at me and says "Man, why do you have to be so ugly!" So Jason spins around and punches him in the stomach real hard, knocking him almost into the locker. I laughed! And later that day he poked me and smiled to make me smile ;.D.
But yeah, I don't think anyone on here's gonna hear anymore about Zack for a while.

Now, see, I don't really wanna make anyone feel bad or anything here. But the way it sounds, Tonya, is that you didn't know him very well in the first place. Even if this guy didn't have a girlfriend, don't you think it would have been better to become close friends with him first?

Now grant it, I've never had a boyfriend or been on a real date before(and I don't plan to), but I picture that things like that would be a lot less awkward if you get to know the person better. I've said that I haven't ever had a boyfriend, but my older brothers have had girlfriends, and I can tell you from watching them that starting a relationship with a person you barely know always ends up going down the tubes anyway.

So, next time, when you feel you like someone, I suggest maybe getting to know them. Maybe try to bring up the subject of dating in casual conversation, so you can avoid embarassment just in case they DO have a girlfriend already. Sorry if I made you feel bad. This is just what I think, and I don't expect you to listen to me. After all, I've never actually dated to know these things. o__O;

Other than that, it sounds to me like he was leading you on on purpose. I mean, he DID say he liked you, as you said that in an earlier post.

Why would he say that when he KNOWS he has a girlfriend? Either that or he got a girlfriend after he said that, which still doesn't make any sense to me because for him to lose his likeness for you so fast makes him sound like a jerk(no offence). Or maybe he just felt left out because he didn't have a girlfriend, so the easiest way to solve the problem was to find any willing participant(That's what my brother did.). There's also the possibility that he wasn't being truthful when he said he liked you, which I wouldn't really consider, if he was constantly smiling and staring at you(That's abnormal behavior. You said he was sneaking glances at you, and I'm puuretty sure he wouldn't try doing that to guys.). Maybe when he said he liked you, he just meant that he wanted to be your friend. That's another possibility. Wow, now my brain hurts... I'd better stop here for fear of getting brick'd. *ducks out of sight*

:rolleyes: Sorry I haven't wrote in a while. And yes, SkittleMonkey, you were right about eveything you said. I wasin't offended at all. I didin't know him very well. I was waaaayyy too shy to talk to him that much anyways. But I'm honestly very much over it now. I guess one of the big reasons why I cried was because the whole thing was such a....so all of the suddon a ....unexpected thing. But oh well. I certainly don't hate him. I do have a forgiving heart you know :).
Yeah, Jason is a pretty nice guy to be one of Shinky's buddies. Uhh...did I tell you guys he was one of Shinky's "bruthas"..... And ONLY because he's one of Shinky's buddies I'm not going to abmit that I maaay have a small, microscopic crush on him.....:rolleyes: :nyah:! But atleast we started out as friends. At the beginning of the year when we shared desks in Science class, we were eachothers science buds. He's really goofy, easy to crack-up and kid with, and when I tease him sometimes he acts like he's mad but he's not because, once again, that's how he is.

You guys wanna know what its like at my school eh? -rubs hands together- Guess I should tell everyone the *hit I have to go through for five days a week... Okay so for 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 9th period I have the same teacher and the same seat -sigh- with the same people... sounds boring right? wrong every single minute in there something is happening. One time while we were taking a test one kid thought it would be funny to randomly say "IMA PANCAKE!" :[ I sit in front of him and his friend sits to the right side of me. Which is really stupid since The kid that sits to the right (Mike if anyones wondering) bangs his head into his locker and the kid that sits in back (Steven) of me makes stupid random comments. So basicly they both make them selfs look like complete idiots and both of them together... auhg you'd think they'd get along they don't... well they do but its confusing one minute they are friends and the next there fighting.
anyways there are also two other girls named Amanda and Nina. Nina is okay she doesn't bother me so yah. Amanda is sooooooo annoying she is always trying to 'hook me up' with with someone... wtf? I don't want to be hooked up with someone I don't even want to start worrying about dating until I get older were only in middle school! who would start worrying about that at such young ages? -sigh- there is also Frankie he sits Next to Mike which was another really bad idea (gawsh my teacher is dumb). they don't get along AT ALL... they are always fighting about something...but yah then there is Nick and Joe I don't really have anything to say about them...
But thats 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 9th period we still got 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th to talk about xD my wrist is starting to hurt OwO Third period is Home ec. this class is okay I don't really talk to anyone in this class besides Helen (she sits at my table at luch we'll get to that later) we are currently learning how to sew its fun! ^____^ then I think we are going into careers then cooking yup! Well after Home ec. is lunch the best class of the day! x3 now we are all expecting me to sit at the popular peoples table RIGHT??????? WRONG AGIAN!
I sit at a random table with random girls (no boys Sean goes to a different school now and Jake got kicked out because of something... that I'm not gonna tell :P). There are six girls at the table yes only six sometimes seven and sometimes 5 :B It goes Ashly, Alex, Helen, Erica on the other side its Lauren (everyone calls her a fag which is so mean!) Me, Katie. Well some of the lunches here are okay I like the Pizza (its not the square Pizza they give you in elementry school) and the bagles. they don't give fries everyday like last year we only get fries On Monday and Thursday. They saying we're fat! -cries- Oh sometimes Erica doesn't come to lunch and sometimes this girl named Heather sits with use. I'm gonna BRB... IM BACK -shoves cheese munchies in mouth- mmmmmm cheese munchies! well thats 4th period 5th period is gym/music which are my least fav classes mostly gym though Jamal is in both my music and gym class so is Tommy omg they are so wierd and no offence to anyone but they are kinda big and Jamal stepped on my foot one time... it hurt really badly really really badly... thats 5th period so now here is 6th! English is my fav class!! ^w^ we just got finsihed with this book 'The Witch of BlackBird Pond' It rocked!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 nothing exciting really happens in this class though... its sure is fun though!
Last but not least 8th period computers the other day I turned on my computer and it started making beeping noises xD people were like 'NAOMI WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT??????" and I was like "I didn't do anything I just turned it on!" but yah we have to do most some in microsoft word
Woah I'm, pooped...

Would I really be consideed a "poser"?
Okay, so latley i've been kinda going through this thing now whee I'm into dressing goth/punk. I've pretty much always been into the goth/punk thing but latley I've actually started dressing it. Well, the other day I decided to wear a skirt with the rest of my black clothes and some girl asks if I'm goth. I say yeah I guess and a little punk too. Then she called me poser and said punks don't wear long skirts. And then yesterday, I decided to wear an orange/red sweat because it was chilly. She asks me if I'm goth and I say yes and she says "goth" doesn't work for e and I'm a poser because sometimes I don't wear all black. But like lots of people, my whole closet is not all black clothes. I mostly have other colers. So what? Am I some poser now because I don't wear black every single day?, if I could I would. Because I'm usually more cheerful and optiistic than the steriotyped "goth/punk" attitude? Because I don't walk around all the time with an attitude? My lord, what do they want from me.

Poser? No.

Poser is a term that insecure people use to keep outsiders from their "comfort zone" of likeminded friends. They don't want you in their social group, so they call you a poser, trying to get you to stop wearing what they deem the symbol of their particular social group. You know why they don't want you in their group? Because you aren't an insecure wierdass like they are. Ten minutes with you and they'd realize that they suck. You're too cool for those twinks Tonya! :D

I wear tees and jeans, because i find them comfortable. I buy the $20 jeans from Wally World and Old Navy because they're cheap and durable :)

;D Aw thanks! I feel much better already. *sings "This is Why I'm Hot" to their faces* Don't they think that if I were being a poser I'd be trying to dress like everybody else simply because they were wearing it. I dress the way I dress because of the fact that I don't want to be like them-I wanna be my own unique self. Unique is cool. Normal is bland. Boring. Now, see me loading my face with make-up, dressed in Barbie doll clothes and talking going all ":o :'( LIKE, OMG I JUST SO BROKE A NAIL!" and you got a full blown poser. The next time someone calls me poser I'm gonna say no I'm not. I Am What I Am.

"I yam what i yam"

--Popeye

I don't belong to a specific group of people, and you know what? Everybody likes me. 'tis true.

Hah that's me... I am one of those people that is kinda friends with everyone, but rare the folks who don't like me REALLY don't like me. It's kinda funny though because they think I don't know, they think they're being all coy about it, but in reality I just really don't care. I know they don't like me, and it's up to them to be all grade-school about it, and up to me to ignore them not get sucked into all their negative immature energy.

Whenever people ask me if I'm goth, I act confused and say "Um... I'm Kristi!" 8D

very nice 8D

How's school going?

I am leading Group 6 in my oral history class, which will be compiling a history of first Baptist Church of Garden Grove. We will have a 3000-word history, a timeline, and two oral history interviews.

well im on the academic team at my school, so i got today off from school, along with saturday and sunday. louisville was awsome. but alas, im back. btw i might post some pictures from the trip up later on deviantart.

-claps hands together- Raaaaaaaawr I'm joining the lacrosse team! xP I need to get my lazy ass up and do something then go on the computer all day... xD

*sigh* not much today. only bad thing is that i made this poster on the War of 1812, and btw its 1/4th of my grade for this quarter. and my teacher lost it. now i have to re-do it tonight. that seriously annoys me.

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Well, we fired our cannon til the barrel melted down,
so we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind,
and when they tetched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

this song is about the Battle of New Orleans, which was fought AFTER the truce was declared. many, many limeys died, only a handful of Americans kicked off. This is what happens when you invade America.

I've been getting A's B's and C's in my classes! Within two weeks I raised my F in math to a C! My D in Language Arts to a C, and my D in Science to a C. I've got A's in Choir and Art, and I think I aised my D to a C in Social Studies. This semester though we're going from Art to Tech Ed. *Bloo's voice* I loooooooved Art! We all painted light houses. My Art teacher asked me if this was my first painting lesson. I said yes, and he seemed pretty suprised. He said I was a natural and that I was gifted. *smiles* Im so happy.
And me and Jason have been getting along really good, as always. (He's the one I said who punched his buddy in the stomache after they asked why I was so ugly on the day I was crying about Zack). Anyways, he's still pretending to be mad at me since I said he looked like a crayon when he wore this hat one day, when I went to give him a high five but said "syke!", and then told some girl that he wasin't manly enough to beat her up and she told him what I said ;D. Me and him like to tease eachother like that. But we're JUST friends people!.....or are we? :rolleyes:. The other day he let me cut him and line, and his lunch that they set up on the counter, he let me have it, since we were getting the same thing. After recess when he was all soaked and sweaty after basketball he wanted to hug me but I said "No! Not tiill' after you wash those armpits!". Then two days ago he went up to me and asked me to kiss his booboo ::) (he barley scratched his hand during a game of basketball) and the teacher told him to get back in his seat.
Then, while pretending to be mad, he told me it was my fault he got a D on something, and we "play" argued a little bit ;). And is it me, or does it seem like the more friendly me and Jason are with eachother, his friend Shinky is less mean to me, if mean to me at all? Hmmm.....

ooh i think i know that song. it was written by some canadian band right?

Battle of New Orleans. May be offensive to the British and those (like me) who despise Andrew Jackson.

oh i guess i was wrong. i was thinking of the war of 1812 by three dead trolls

i've got dialup and am not going to wait to se that vid, do you mean something in that video is offensive to limeys or the song itself?

You mind if i ask why you dislike Andy J? Old Hickory is my kind of guy, personally, he had a few musketballs rattling around in him and fought several duels. Was responsible for the Trail of Ters (if memory serves) which was abhorrent but not an uncommon type of thing to do back in the day.

Andrew Jackson is probably the reason we still exist as a sovreign nation now. He was key in kicking the British invaders back into the sea.

I attended First Baptist Church of Garden Grove, today. The building is 120 years old... and the average parishioner is the same age. I was mobbed by grannies!

Then I RAN to my regular church in time for the member financial meeting, and voted.


I tired.

The video is footage of when the song was first performed on TV in the 50's, so there's nothing offensive there. I was joking about the lyrics.

Andrew Jackson...where do I start? I read Robert Remini's three-volume biography of the 7th President. Here's the stuff that I can remember.

The Trail of Tears was just not typical, it was archetypical, the second worst act in American-Indian relations (#1 was the smallpox epidemic, which wasn't exactly intentional). The Supreme Court sided with the Cherokee nation in 1832; Jackson is reported to have replied "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!"

In 1805, Jackson was allied with Aaron Burr, who was attempting to break the Southwest into an independent country with Burr as dictator. When this treason was discovered, Jackson switched sides and betrayed Burr to President Jefferson.

Andrew Jackson fought 103 duels during his life, most of them during his years in Tennessee politics. Even for that time and place, I find that number excessive. Jackson was a vengeful man who tended to demonize his political enemies.

The Battle of New Orleans (1815) happened after the peace treaty had been signed in London, although with the slowness of Atlantic crossings, nobody in America knew that yet. If the British had won, I doubt General Pakenham would have been able to continue onward to conquer more than the city, and with the war over, they would have been forced to give it back anyway.

During the War of 1812, the British and their Spanish allies in Florida had encouraged the Seminole tribe to raid nearby Georgia, at the same time promising to liberate any black slaves that managed to cross the border. With the clandestine support of the Madison administration, Jackson invaded Florida and basically annexed Florida to the United States. He captured the British ringleaders and turned them over to a military tribunal. When they were given prison sentences instead of execution, he killed them anyway.

When Jackson was elected president in 1824, he initiated the wholesale replacement of members of the Adams bureaucracy with loyal Democrats ("if there is a job that a Democrat can't do, then abolish the job"). One of these appointees stole $1 million in New York City taxes for his own personal use. Asked to justify these actions, a Jackson supporter stated "to the victor belongs the spoils of the enemy," which is where the term "spoils system" comes from.

In the Congressional battle over the renewal of the 2nd Bank of the United States, Jackson proved himself a tyrant who considered himself above the law. His premature withdrawal of funds before the bank charter had expired was directly responsible for the (financial) Panic of 1837.

Now there are certainly aspects of Jackson's life I'm thankful for. He was a great military commander and won the Battle of New Orleans fair and square. He was against succession until his dying day. He founded the Democratic Party and pushed for universal (White male) suffrage at a time when most states only allowed the middle and upper classes to vote. I like how Jackson handled the Nullification Crisis. I can find nothing to fault with Jackson's family life. Oh, and he may have been the source of "okay", one of the most useful words in the English language.

...and that concludes my hijacking of this thread.

can't argue with that. Yeah, he was a nasty guy, a good president, but a generally nasty dude.



which is why i love him ;D

You do have a valid point(s) though, and certainly Andy J should've been held accountable numerous times throughout his career.

I figured it was about time we all started complaining about school again, except you people who may be done with school already.
I will tell you my dirty little secret... I am the biggest procrastinator in the world. All year I've known that 20 hours of community service is due second week of may. Think I've done it? Nah. Course not. So now. I'm screwed. And finals are coming up really soon and I'm kinda worried about those. Plus I have play practices up the wazoo because we perform this week and NO ONE knows their lines...it's driving me nuts!

I have a 30 page report due in June.

thats Future Partyboy's problem 8-)

School is now at its worst, in terms of work, paperwork, student behavior, etc. Next week is the last week of Art classes for me, so this means that I have to get all my student projects evaluated and graded, average all those grades, and enter them into the computer for report cards, no later than next Friday, and I'm talking about 400 students, at two different schools. On top of that, I have to complete a teacher evaluation called a "GBE" that we have to do each year, AND one of the schools where I teach is undergoing an evaluation by the State Dept. of Education next week, so everyone is on edge about that. Starting May 7, for two full weeks, every public school in the state will be involved with the state's all-important standardized tests, which everyone hates except the legistlators, and I will have to either administer it, or serve as a proctor, during that time, so no more Art classes. This makes the regular classroom teachers hate me, since they firmly believe that the only reason I exist is to give them a free period by taking their students off their hands, and when I can't do that, I am subject to whatever hate they can fling my way. The students, meantime, know that they cannot be suspended or put out of school, no matter what they do, because the law requires them to take those tests, so their behavior gets more violent and obnoxious. They know that there's nothing anyone can do to them at this point. I'm exhausted,mentally, emotionally and physically. I've been having to go to bed around 9:30 just to have enough energy to get up the next morning, and I hate it. I want this school year to be over and done with SO BAD; it's been one of the worst, if not THE worst, since I've been teaching, and that's been for over 20 years.

pitbulllady

ooh. sorry there PBL!

Dang that sounds ruff...sorry to hear all the hard work there.

Well i hate my school. its poo! I've only got a year and a bit left until i get to college though :)

Everybody is awful. People just stay with their cliques (is that how you spell it? =/) and its awful.

Theres alot of reasons why i hate it but it would go on for ages and i don't want to bore you all.

Can't wait till college! woohoo!
