High school is very strange. I don't really understand what makes it so much more well... weird than other levels of schooling. It just is and no one can explain it. Sometimes this makes me want to explode in a strange combustion of confusion and frustration as I try to figure it out. Anyway, as I was sitting here pondering the concepts of strangeness, I noticed that there was a very loud rumbling coming from outside my window. I thought it was the neighbors bringing in their trash and then I remembered that trash day is Tuesday and it's Wednesday. Hmm... can't be that. So, naturally, I walk downstairs and open the door. Absolutely nothing is making noise out there. Then suddenly as I was sitting back upstairs completely befuddled, I realized that it's drumline at my high school across the street who was most likely watching to make sure they could add to my confusion and stop playing. Maybe some of the wind that just blew up out of nowhere all of the sudden contributed. Stupid winds... Anyway, in science, we learned about volcanoes today. We watched a 15 minute informative video on the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Those 15 minutes were quite boring but if it helps us know more about the world I'll go for it! Or just for a better grade on the test Monday. Anyway we learned that apparently someday Yellowstone National Park could become a super volcano and solve the global warming controversy... in a not so fun way. Unless you like lots of snow... and ash. Although I have no clue where they got the ash part... Fine. Don't laugh. I'm going to go finish the homework for class...whoo. I'm out.

High School Madness

Why?
Finally you have a picture of the bizarre outfits for initiation rites of varsity teams and people's birthdays! Oh the randomness...

Forget Mondays!
Mondays are normally the most hated days of the week. For me, Fridays's represent school starting an hour later and shorter classes. Most people sleep in more or get more things done in the morning on Fridays. I should, but I always get to school with the same amount of time left till school starts and wake up at the regular time no matter how hard I try. Weekends, completely different story. Anyway, I wish I hadn't gotten up until school was over today! First I fall down the stairs aways to start off my day! I get to school and 1st period was one of the best classes I've had in a while! Just giving me false hope. 2nd period was not as good. We got a difficult vocab quiz that hardly anyone studied for. 3rd, I dogded countless basketballs in Gym, as most of the boys find it hilarious to scare the girls. I'm not normally like the other girls and ignore them, but as for balls being flung at my head, I've had some bad experiences.. Anyway, then Spanish was hell. I walk in and fling my backpack onto my desk. I pick it up and place it nicely onto my lap only to feel a strange feeling on my leg. My water bottle from lunch had tipped over and was now slowly pouring onto my leg. The worst part was that as it was slowed becuase of the mutiple layers of fabric, it made small swamps inside my bookbag making everything wet. The rest of the period went fine until the end. I've never gotten into trouble in this class or ever had anything taken from me for a disturbance, but there's always a time for a first! My father texts me right on the only day I forget to leave my ringer off! Yes, I got my phone taken away on account of my father... ironic, no? Anyway, 5th was pretty good. 6th was pretty bad. I have science that period and we're learning about earthquakes and volcanoes. Ever since sixth grade, I've been terrified at looking at the power and destruction those things bring especially because we live in a place that's supposed to get a big one soon. Well, I'm thinking that the videos we watched today are better than the clip entitled "Death and Destruction" that we're going to watch soon, maybe next week... ughh... I absolutely can't wait...until I find a good excuse! Anyway, after school, I fell and hurt myself a grand total of four times. So far! (Update: 5 times) Stupid bad luck... Anyway, I just hope my post made you feel that much better about your Friday. Last point here, promise! I'm hoping to spend a month or so studying this summer in England, but need some 8000 dollars by the end of March to do it... I'm not old enough for an official job yet... and I need to get enough money quickly! Any ideas on how I can get there? Please help me! Okay, now I'm done. Okay, now. No, now. No seriously, I'll shut up now.

Oatmeal Awards
Award shows are always followed by people who anticipate who will win like they'll die if they don't see their pick chosen. I am not one of these people. However, the Grammy's always catch my attention the most out of all the award shows. Not the show and what it brings, but the name. I know that the name represents gramophones but everytime I hear it, I think of old people. Like one would receive a grampy or grammy for best performance. When I hear "The Grammy's..." the thoughts in my head include:
*Old beige sweaters
*The smell of oatmeal and raisins
*Wrinkles
Then sanity returns and I think of red carpets and little metallically painted trophies that I still don't know what you'd do with. I'd probably end up using it as a paperweight or stow it on a shelf as a place of honor and forget that its there. Anyway, watch the Grammy's on Feb. 8 and alright... so I do want Jack White and Alecia Keys to win for Best Short Music Video, so break a leg guys! Anyway, I must climb the mountains of laundry I have to finish so I bid you farewell for now. Go feed Roy off to the right... he's hungry. Yes, that's the hamster.

Hyper For No Reason!
I am completely nuts right now and have absolutely no reason for posting this! I don't even think I've had sugar today! It must be that I actually got sleep last night...or that I'm listening to the White Stripes's version of Dylan's Outlaw Blues. That always makes me happy and crazy! I should film this burst of craziness so that the world can see my absurd behavior and document it for science...
Outlaw Blues White Stripes Style:
