Be Mischievous; It Feels Good  
Hello people!

I'm exhausted. I've done nothing all day. Seriously, if anything, I was kinda lazy today, but I feel so lethargic, it hurts to move. *shakes head* I need, like, a week of sleep.

Photo was good, I developed some pics today! They look pretty cool, but I had to use 400 speed film, which makes the pics a little more grainy than if I'd used 100 speed film, so they're kinda...slightly fuzzy, actually. Still though. They're schaweet. XD Um, math was lame-ass'd, as usual. We took a quiz today and I think I prolly got an A- or around there. I think we have a quiz tomorrow, too. *guh*

AP Gov. was okay. We talked about federalism and Jen stopped in to give Messick some apple crisp. She stayed for the rest of class and it was quite fun, lol. Uh, forensics was boring, blah blah blah. But MindCandy was very fun. We had to bring in quotes, as I said yesterday, and I brought in "I Am America (And So Can You!)" from which to pick a quote. I ended up picking the first two paragraphs of the Atheist section of the Religion chapter. And I re-read the SEX chapter throughout the course of the day. X] It made me happy, lol.

( These are the other quotes I picked... )

We read most of our quotes aloud, and Robbins really liked the Colbert and Stewart quotes, lol. <3 He pretty much RULES. Jen and I went to Panera for lunch (and OMF she's driving my mom's work car! not, like, mom's car, but the same model and such). I got a delicious sandwich and a cheese danish and another frozen caramel coffee. I really love Panera. They kick ass.

We talked and laughed and whatnot, lol, for about forty minutes, I would guess, and then Jen drove me home. But she kinda got lost for a minute, LOL! Love ya, Jen. ;] I got home at about...I think 1:30, 1:40? I don't even know. I wanted so much to sleep, but I'm not allowed to, so I got online instead, lol.

OH! Nick stayed home sick today. Ya know what's wrong with him? He has a sore throat. A month or so ago, when I was throwing up, I was forced to go to school. I feel like the fucking sister in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's ridiculous! And I glared at dad this morning when he told me why Nick was staying home, and he was like, "WHAT?! What's wrong with YOU?!" I just rolled my eyes and dropped it cuz no one in my house ever sees my POV. It really pisses me off, though. He's treated so fucking special. I hate it.

Anyway, Since I got home, I've felt so tired. I don't know why, but I swear, I could fall asleep right now and not get up til noon tomorrow. Unfortunately, there's no way I can stay home "sick" for a long time, cuz mom and dad will prolly think I'm faking, even if I'm not. *grrness* Um...that's it, I guess. Oh, the title of this post is from a Dove chocolate wrapper. Ya know how the small ones have messages on them? *points to title* That was one, lol.

The financial aid thing from last night was stupid. Sooooo boring. I might lose some computer/TV time (maybe even lose my computer altogether *tears*) when my rents see my grades on Friday. I dunno what I'm gonna do. And I feel like I'm being suffocated. I can't explain my existence right now, but I can tell you I'm not pleased with it. I wish it would just be fucking May already. I can haz diploma nao? *grabby hands*

I wanna write. Goddamn it. I wanna write.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

With Fingernails That Shine Like Justice  

Hello people!

Kay, so, I've vented and still don't feel better. My mom decided to guilt me a little more about not doing this earlier. *sigh* I'm already kicking my own ass about it, I don't need anyone else's help, lol, especially her's.

So, it's almost 10:30, and I'm not even halfway done. I'm half-considering working out some way to stay home tomorrow or maybe go home early...that'd work...maybe. I dunno, I'd have a lotta convincing to do. It's a surprising amount of work, trying to get my parents to let me stay home/come home sick. More so than usual...mostly cuz my bro and I usually spend all of our sick days quick like a $20 we found on the sidewalk.

Today was...okay, I guess. Math was fine, we reviewed. Um, Chem, we did a lab where we reacted a piece of Magnesium metal with Hydrochloric acid, and the Magnesium pretty much bubbled away. It was cooly. AP Euro, we just had a powerpoint lecture. Um, then German, we convinced Frau to give us a free period, so that was cool.

Brit Lit, we did MORE goddamn notes and shit that I so don't care about at all. Creative Writing was a work day. I read all period and still didn't finish my book. *shakes head at self*

So, then when I got home, I made a snack and chatted with my mom for a bit and then my dad came home and I chatted with him for a bit. I have no jeans and the next two days are sposed to be around 50 degrees, which I would say is *not* shorts weather, so I forced asked my dad to take me to Wal*Mart to get some jeans, and he did. We ended up getting some t-shirts and gum and a few grocery-esque things, too, and we had fun, so that was nice.

We got home at about 5:00 and I hadn't even started my homework. I spent the next hour and a half writing one and a half summaries and slacking off online. Then was dinner, which sucked, and then Jeopardy. I took a shower after Jeopardy, then went straight back to my room and kept working. It's unbelievably hard to summarize 50 goddamn pages of pure genius in only a page or so. I hate this stupid fucking assignment.

So, as stated previously, I recorded Bones and House and Rules of Engagement (which I totally forgot was on tonight, but my dad reminded me) to watch later. My mom said, "Stay up as late as you need to and finish your homework - you can sleep tomorrow." HA. HAHAHA. Sleep tomorrow. That's funny. She's under the impression that I won't have homework tomorrow, for some stupid fucking reason. *shakes head*

My parents don't get this whole thing, really. And by that I mean, they don't get school nowadays. Especially when talking about homework in relation to hanging out with my parents. Here, look; I'll tell mom and dad that I have a shitload of homework to do, right? Well, they'll be all like, "Oh, okay, get it done." And then, like, an hour later, they'll yell for me and say, "You wanna watch Supernatural?" or "You wanna watch a movie?" or "You wanna go to the store with me?" or something along those lines. And of course, being the irresponsible slacker that I've turned into, I say, "Sure!" and leave my homework behind, only to stress about it later.

And then, when I don't get my homework done, they freak. I mean, for god's sakes, it's their faults for distracting me so much half the time, and they don't even get that. Apparently, they were great with distractions when THEY were in school. And that's another thing, they didn't take anywhere NEAR the kinda classes I'm taking right now, and yet, they don't understand why I have trouble. I hate to sound cocky or whatever, but I know that I'm at least kinda smart. 

However, just cuz I'm smart-esque, doesn't mean I can take a million tough classes and get A's in every one of them! Or any of them, for that matter. I mean, I've also got my online life to worry about (which is very important to me, though it prolly shouldn't be), and TV shows that I love, and stories I wanna work on, but don't have the time to, and lately, friends to hang out with. But no, that's not important. The only thing that's important is the Hellish, demonic, I-swear-to-god-posessed place we call "school." I hate that place so much. It's beyond words.

Sorry for the ramblings, when I stress, I lose control of my brain (as was stated previously). So, now, I'm heading back to my work to try to get at least to the half-way mark before midnight. I'm sure I'll be nice and exhausted tomorrow, which should suck. But I'll try to promise a nicer post tomorrow.

Oh, and happy birthday to

[info]drvsilla! OH, AND, the title of this post is from a song...I dunno the name of it, it's the theme song from Chuck on NBC (I think). Chuck just plays the background music, but I downloaded the song from that TV Theme Song website I plugged a couple weeks ago, and it turns out there's a whole 3-ish minute song with words and everything. And I think it's rather amusing. And the guy says, "I want a girl with fingernails that shine like justice." That's paraphrased, but still.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Loving Life and Lusting and Living for the Night  
Hello people!

OMG, okay, 'member how I told y'all that I was gonna get that photo taken today? Okay, well, I told - TOLD - the woman doing it on Friday that I would NOT be there at 8:30 AM as they'd planned cuz it was a late start day. So what did they do? They came at 8:30 AM when I was NOT THERE. Brilliant. So, then, the woman called me during class and left me a voicemail telling me to call her back. I did and she didn't answer her phone. 

I left TWO messages before she finally called me back. Then, the photo guy himself called me and told me that we were gonna do the photo tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 PM. My parents can't pick me up then, so I have to either be driven by a friend to NewGrounds (which is unlikely cuz I have no concept of time and can't make sure to catch a ride with a friend) or WALK to NewGrounds. So I guess I'm walkin. GAH.

Anywho, Math was okay. Kinda stupid, but I actually get what we're doin, so it's all good. OMG, Chem was terrible! I got F's on all three sections of our most recent test! I knew I'd do poorly, but HOLY SCHEISS, I didn't think I'd do THAT bad! So, yeah, it sucks. AP Euro was alright. That sub woman is weird, though. I forget her name...OH! Mrs. Pfening. Stupid name, btw. But yeah, she's kinda bitchish. Thanks to Jen for the help with the pre-test!

German was GREAT! Adam and S'Michael and I finally made some progress in our group video assignment thingy. Although, I'm still kinda stressed bout when the hell we're gonna be able to record our vid cuz we are all pretty busy - S'Michael with work and Adam with practice/games. DAMN, man.

Brit Lit was alright. We got new seats and I sit by the window, which is cooly 'cept that I'm far away from the door, lol. Um...that's about it. Creative Writing was stupid. I'm really beginning to despise that class. We have to do that past-self journal entry thing and, to be honest, I'm not sure what to do. It's due tomorrow, and I changed my mind bout writing bout becoming an Atheist. I don't wanna make it seem like it's one traumatic experience or something that made me decide on that, so, yeah. So, yeah, I still haven't even done it yet.

So, I got home and chilled for a while, but I've really been stressing out. I just feel like I have a lot to worry about, and my grades are REALLY freaking me out. I know they're bad, but I really can't think of a way to explain to my parents WHY they're so bad (other than the truth, which is NOT gonna do). I'll have to come up with somethin fast, lol.

I...I really can't think of what else to say. I know there was more, but I have nothing. My apologies, guys. There'll be a better entry tomorrow.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

What's the Largest Animal You Would Consider Bench-pressing?  
Hello people!

Now that I'm heading off to bed, I'm in a much better mood, lol. Today was suckish, but I'm getting better. XD

I made up an AP Euro test today during lunch (LAME) and I have to make up a Chem test tomorrow during first period, then during class, then Thursday during first period (it's a long test).

Um...Math was okay, we didn't do much. Chem was stupid as always. AP Euro - stupid, PLUS an extra dose of Captain Stupid himself, Mr. Palazzo! He's such a douchebag, and GAH (and Jen nailed this on the head), the sweater he was wearing today was so BARFALICIOUS. Blech!

German was okay. We essentially did nothing like we usually do and I must admit, if it weren't for that class, I would totally have a melt down. Thank frank for my friends in there, man, they make school all the more tolerable, lol.

Brit Lit was fun - Mrs. Creek is just plain amusing - although we're reading Bible shit and I couldn't give less of a damn about that. I wish I could be excused from it, lol. I could be like, "Um...Mrs. Creek? I'm an Atheist, so this doesn't apply to me." LOL! That'd be hilarious if I actually got out of it. XD

Creative Writing was awesome - all we did was talk. I LOVE THAT - TOTAL FREE TIME without limitations! :] YAY!

I'm coming in on the bus every day this week 'cept Friday. How sad is that? I just feel so run-down, which is ridiculous, cuz I have nowhere NEAR some of the shit other people have (Jen, Deidre, TONS OF OTHER PEOPLE), but I can't help it. I'm just kinda used to bein somewhat lazy and I miss being able to CHILL.

OMFG, okay, I came in on the bus today and sat in the cafeteria as if it was a study hall, cuz that's where we're sposed to sit. There were SIX - that's right, SIX - teachers there to watch the, maybe 20 kids. We all had to "face west and one to a table!" It was ridiculous! Mr. Eagle (the tall, skinny, athletic, but slightly older guy who wears shorts all the time) yelled at everyone a lot. We were not allowed to wear headphones, even though that would've kept people QUIET (DUR) and it was just stupid. I don't like him - he's an asshole.

Oh, and I saw Mr. Fout in the hall today, and he was wearing THE DORKIEST outfit I've ever seen him wear - he usually has pretty good taste, but WOW. He had on this navy blue jacket with white khakis. I mean, he looked like the freaking captain of a ship or something! But his tie was GORGEOUS. Wow, it was such a great tie. That was the only good thing bout his outfit, lol.

Oh, quick side note to Jen - I just watched that milkshake clip two days ago and LMFAO! XD Twas QUITE strange, but amusing and whatnot, lol.

That's bout it. Thanks to all new readers for...well, READING! ;]

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Sparkling Water? Citrus or Berry? Surprise Me  
Hello people!

As you may already know if you go to school with me, I was home sick today. I'm still feeling crappy and will prolly be going to the doctor's office tomorrow to see if I can get an inhaler. I need some help with my stupid coughing.

I watched this ADORABLE video on [[NoFactZone.net]] starring younger versions of Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello, and Mitch Rouse. It was hilarious! :D "Please...they're my chips..." Lotsa quotables quotes in that vid. And super young Stephen looks a lot like super young Charlie Sheen to me...(like, when Charlie was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off). And he's always been adorkable.

I woke up just in time to watch Strangers With Candy on Comedy Central today at noon. And it was one of my favorite episodes; "Ask Jerri." SO FUNNY.

Oh, I'm kinda bummed though, cuz at one, Family Matters is usually on ABC Family, and I love that show! But they seem to have replaced it with Sister, Sister. It's not a bad show, I used to like it a lot, but Sister, Sister is played on other channels sometimes, too, but Family Matters isn't played anywhere else, so, yeah. Oh, well.

I feel really stressed out, even though I totally shouldn't. But the pressure of not having fantastic grades and report cards coming out next Friday and missing two days now (if you count tomorrow) and mom reminding me all the time that I don't have fantastic grades and my shows and fanfics to read and fanfics to write and just regular novels to write and helping my rents with the home show and worrying about my mom and her stupid asshole of a boss. Just...lotsa stuff I'm concerned with. I can't wait for college, it's gonna be a fresh start and it's gonna be so much easier.

I've decided to post the IF pitch tomorrow, if I have the time. If I end up backing it up another day or two, I'll prolly just drop it, but I feel like I should mention it, though I dunno why.

My mom's boss is making her pay for the old, shit computer that got stolen on her watch. I can't believe it. He has fucking insurance for these sorts of things, but he doesn't want his rates to go up, so mom has to pay for it. I really want to shoot this guy. 

One of my mom's co-workers said that a few years ago (before the merger between PetStop and Invisible Fence, which is how my mom got her new boss), she got into a fender-bender in her company car, and Paul (boss-man) made her pay for it, even though he had insurance on it. Mom said that this co-worker girl also said that Paul hates her cuz she's not thin. He thinks her "overweight-ness" is disgusting. I can't believe him.

I thought I had more to say, but I need to sleep now. So, if anyone wants to lemme know what all I missed at school, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks mucho!

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*
