Hello people!

Is it sad that it's incredibly hard for me to remember what I did last night? Cuz I really don't recall, lol. Um...yeah, I dunno...

I got up at 10:17 this morning and watched a little Spongebob. Then I got dressed and mom and I went out. We had to go to Kay Jewelers so she could get her ring (they were fixing the prongs on it). We did that and then headed over to The Rusty Bucket, which is a couple shops down, for lunch. We got club sandwiches and they were DELICIOUS. X]

Then we stopped at Hobby Lobby and got this freakishly awesome tree-topper that kinda looks like a Who (as in, The Grinch) tree-topper, lol! It's really cool and actually fairly pretty for being so obscurely strange. We listened to the SheDaisy Christmas CD in the car which is one of my absolute fave Christmas CDs (I think I've said that before). Um, then we made our way to Blockbuster.

We rented Traitor (no interest in that), Made of Honor (no interest in that), Burn After Reading (def wanna watch that), and then two for me; Confetti and Expelled. Confetti has this British dude in it, who's hysterical, and I've been told by a couple people to see Expelled, even though I absolutely despise Ben Stein. It still looks interesting and I'm looking forward to watching both of them.

We went home shortly after and cleaned house. It took a while, but let me tell you, the living room looks beautiful. We can actually see the floor and the coffee table-top. XD Oh, something cool I saw while out: we passed some kind of office called, "Cooper&Elliott." You know why that's cool if you read 30 Little Things by celli, lol. <333 I squee'd.

The title of this post is from an iCarly I watched yesterday. Spencer said it (of course). I love Jerry Trainor (Spencer). He's SO AWESOME. Speaking of Spencer/Jerry Trainor, please, enjoy an amusing video, lol.


As you know (or maybe you don't, I haven't mentioned it in a long time), I'm going to the inauguration with Presidential Classroom. Well, it kinda just struck me how close it actually is. Like, in a couple weeks, I'm going to D.C. and won't be able to get online for four days. I'm excited about going, of course (I mean, JEEZ), but I hate being away from teh internets, and they don't give you free WiFi there... *sigh*

Oh, god, speaking of responsibility shit. I found out from 18 in 08 today (via email) that they have yet to be paid. That was not my responsibility, so I assumed the teachers whose job it was would take care of it. Apparently, I was wrong. And I should never assume. So I have to worry about it til we go back to school and then go get it handled. The worst part is that I think I might've spent $24 from the fee.

See, I was given $24 cuz of the hat day fundraiser I did, so that was part of the fee. Well, I found it in one of my hoodies a few weeks ago and completely FORGOT that it was for 18 in 08 and thought it was just cash I'd put in there and totally forgot about (mom does that ALL THE TIME). Except now I realize that it must've been the fee cuz the envelope that held the fee once is now empty. *headdesk* I dunno what I'm gonna do about all that...

AND, it's official: we will not be having a white Christmas. Tomorrow, we're getting rain, incredibly speedy winds, and 50 fucking degree weather. GOD I hate Ohio.Tonight, we're gonna watch the Christmas episodes of our shows; Bones, Frasier, etc. And I'll prolly watch A Colbert Christmas later, too. I mean, come on, I have to, lol. <3 So, yeah, should be fun! :D

Kay, pardon the language, but WHY THE FUCK aren't my goddamn tags showing up? Is this happening for anyone else? I'm going kind of INSANE here...

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

Hello people!

What a long day! I'm so glad it's almost over, lol, I'm exhausted. XD I had a vivid dream last night, but I forgot it on the way to school, so, yeah. Epic fail, hehe.

During photo (which, if you remember from yesterday, was a free period), I felt completely and utterly nauseous. I was so nervous about the 18 in 08 thing. But eventually, I calmed down and stopped feeling so sick, lol. Mom texted me at the start of math to say that she was there (she came to see the assembly). So I went down to meet her at the door and then she and I went to the PAC (the auditorium).

Eventually, Messick arrived. She and I chatted about the whole thing and then David Burstein (creator of 18 in 08) arrived. He was a little late, but it was okay, cuz the entire event was about fifteen minutes behind schedule. Once all the students had filed in and I got the okay from Kruder to get started, I got on stage and did my little intro to the film. It went incredibly smoothly. I was so afraid it would suck, but it didn't, lol.

See, I have this problem with speaking in front of people. I get really nervous and start swallowing a lot and having to stop halfway through a sentence cuz I'm out of air and my hands usually tend to shake. BUT, none of the above happened! I dunno why I was suddenly so calm about it, but it wasn't as big a deal as I made it out to be in my head. Anywho, most of the students enjoyed the film (and if they didn't, they can bite me, lol).

Then David got up and talked about the film, then I intro'd Mary Jo Kilroy (a representative from our 15th district) and she talked a little. THEN we did a short Q&A. I told everyone a bajillion times that it was non-partisan, and yet, two dumbass students in the audience asked TOTALLY partisan questions. It annoyed me. But it's okay, the other questions weren't partisan, so that was good.

I thanked everyone and then Mr. McClure (principal) got up and said, "I'd just like to thank Miranda for setting all this up." And everyone applauded me. It felt really good, lol, I don't get applause very often, LOL. XD So, yeah, it was nice. Afterwards, Mr. McClure shook my hand and thanked me off-stage and met my mom and chatted with her a little. Messick met mom, too, and they get along real well, lol. Oh, and Messick hugged me! :D

Nick told me yesterday that he really didn't understand the importance of voting. He's a junior, and the assembly was only for seniors, but I wanted him to see the movie, so I wrote him a pass and he came today. He was so nice to me (RARE) and he actually said he was proud of me! It was shocking. And later, he told me that the movie totally changed his mind and he realized his vote is important and now he totally cares about voting! <3

I was on a relief-high after all that cuz I was THRILLED that it was all over, lol, and I told mom, "Ya know, if you wanna go ahead and take me with you, that'd be fine" (I still had two periods to go, but I didn't feel like staying). And guess what? She said okay! That was awesome. I love leaving school early, lol. So we went to get lunch and then she dropped me off at Starbucks so she could go to a meeting with her boss.

I got delicious coffee, of course. Eventually, mom came and picked me up and we came home. I practiced my routine three times in a row, lol. Then we left for an appointment mom had. I rocked out in the car the whole time. XD Twas quite fun, actually. At 4:30, we picked dad up and then teh rents dropped me off at school. I embarass easily when it comes to being up in front of people, so I asked mom and dad not to come and they agreed. <333

I helped set up the chairs for the audience in the X Theater, which is where we held Gallery X. ;] The show went very well! And David Rutz (a senior last year, now a freshman in college) stopped by to perform! It was really nice to see him, I missed him. My routine went on without a hitch, thankfully. I didn't screw up once. *WHOOT*

And I wrote a quote from Stephen on my hand to keep me going: "[I'll do] anything for a laugh." The title of this post is from the Dancing Muchachos song, lol. Unfortunately, no one was taping the show, so I can't post a vid of it, but Dewey, one of the MindCandy teachers, was taking pictures during each act, so I might be able to get some of those and post them, if you guys wanna see 'em.

Uh, so...after the show, we cleaned everything up and got to drink the left-over soda and eat the left-over popcorn and cotton candy. Scrumptious, I say. X] And I got an extra cotton candy for Nick cuz he LOVES cotton candy. Then mom and dad picked me up and we went home and watched Jeopardy (which we DVR'd). And I knew the answer the Final Jeopardy, which I NEVER know the answer to, lol! It was AWESOME.

And now we're all caught up. I'm totally wiped out, but I will be up for...prolly another hour and 20 mins, til 11:00. I've got a huge test on Friday in AP Gov., which=suckishness. The problem with that, lol, is that I have a short story I'm working on that I want done by Halloween (it's Halloween-themed), but I don't think I'll have enough time. *is bummed* I do get out of half my school day, though, cuz I have a DARE thing at an elementary school! :D

I'm done now, I swear, lol.

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

EDIT: I watched Barack Obama's 30 minute commercial. OH MY GOD. It was amazing. And then, his little three-four minute mini!speech at the end of it, live from Florida? It actually brought me to tears. He's very inspiring and I can't wait to see him as President (and maybe meet him in D.C. at the Inauguration?). <3

Hello people!

I am leaving in 20 minutes cuz I have to go with mom to an appointment, then to pick dad up, then to Gallery X, lol. But I wanted to post real quick before I leave.

I don't have time to do my blog for the day (and besides, I wanna include Gallery X when I blog tonight), but I'd like to quickly say that 18 in '08 went very well this morning and I was actually less nervous than I thought I'd be! :D

And then mom let me leave with her, which means I got outta school two hours early, lol, and we went to get coffee! WHOOT! So, yeah, just wanted to say that. X]

I'm not sure when I'll be home tonight, but I'm guessing around 9:00-ish. I mean, I think it'll run til 8:00, then half an hour to get home, then time to shower, so, yeah, I'll prolly be blogging at 9. I'm pretty sure LJ will still be online at that time (thankfully! *knock on wood*).

Anywho, hope you guys are doing well and I'll talk to y'all later tonight! :D

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

Hello people!

I had another crazy dream I remembered this morning. I don't wanna go into detail cuz the more I think about a certain part, the more grossed-out I get (it has to do with my brother and bleeding and it scares me a little, lol), but one part I remember in particular is that Nick and I were IN a Spyro game. But a certain part: in the third game, you get to skateboard (as Spyro, of course). So, yeah, we were in a new skateboard level. Twas kinda cool.

From yesterday to tomorrow, we have a free period in photo, so I did AP Gov. homework, lol. Math was blahhh. Teach gave us TWO assignments, both of which are ridiculously long. *headdesk* AP Gov. was cool, we didn't really do anything. Forensics was incredibly dull, as usual. Gahhh, I'm glad that's a half-year class. We turned in quote poems today (I used Stephen's quote about laughing rather than being afraid).

But during MindCandy, Mr. Smith (a totally awesome dude who works in the office) came and got me from class and Messick, Miss Kopp (my English teacher from two years ago) and I all went to the office to talk about "18 in '08." See, the people at 18 in 08 wanted me to pay for the dude's cab fare who's coming to school tomorrow. And we don't have the money for him (and, really it's not our responsibility to pay for this guy's cab).

So we talked about what we could do. Mr. Smith said he'd be more than willing to go pick this guy up, but we tried calling him (his name's David), and he didn't answer his phone. Mr. Smith sent David an email, but as of now, I have not heard anything and it's freaking me out a little. David better have flown out here today like he said he would and if he didn't, I'm gonna be SEVERELY pissed off.

Anywho, it went very well, and afterwards, Chris gave me a ride home. Mom was home, but dad had the car today, so she couldn't pick me up. We hung out and I made hot chocolate cuz I was FREEZING. It's pretty cold here. Well, actually, it's not that cold, but the wind is blowing really hard, which makes it feel colder than it is. *shudders*

We had quite a fun time. I got my math homework done (:O) and we listened to the Rocky Horror soundtrack. <3 And it was nice. Oh, we had candy, too, lol. When Nick got home, he joined us and I helped him with his homework (he's doing something we did a few weeks ago). And he wasn't a jerk! It was amazing, LOL. XD

The title of this post is something dad said to me. I was holding my hand out like Vader does to choke someone (WITH THE MOTHERFUCKING FORCE...), and dad was like, "What are you, Darth Vader?" As a matter of fact, I was, indeed, acting like Darth Vader. It's funner out of context. ;]

Tomorrow is "18 in '08"! GOD, I'm so excited. At 11:00 AM tomorrow morning, I will officially be 40% more calm, lol! I can't wait til this whole thing is all over. And Gallery X is tomorrow night. I practiced the Dancing Muchachos routine last night and I'm pretty sure I have it down, but I have to practice a few more times tonight. WHOOT.

OH! And don't forget, guys! Tomorrow night is when LiveJournal goes offline! That's about it. I did have a much better day today, everyone's very chill, lol. So. Yay!

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

Hello people!

Gahhh what a nightmare today has been. I slept really well last night, though, lol.

Photo was decent, we didn't really do anything. I did my math homework. Math was okay. We didn't really do much. Um...we also didn't do much in AP Gov. Went on a tangent, ya know. Same ol', same ol'. Messick and I had some work to do for 18 in '08, so she and I stayed after class and went to the office. We got some stuff worked out and I had to call a BUNCH of people tonight cuz of it, so that was kinda suckish.

Oh, and I met this teacher, Mr. Kruder (sp?), who I've heard quite a bit about and wow. He's pretty damn cute cool, imo. Anywho, I got to miss most of forensics, which rocked. And my friend let me copy off of him, lol, so yay. MindCandy was pure awesome. That girl, Olivia, who drew that cute manga drawing I posted last week is working on a manga drawing of the whole class! It's SO awesome. And we chilled and chatted with Robbins today. <3

I had to make up a math quiz after MindCandy, which BLEW cuz it was no calculator. Gross. I don't think I did very well. Grr. My own fault, I forgot to study. I got stopped in the hallway by Messick, who told me we had to talk to the principal about some shit for 18 in '08 again. We got done fairly quickly, thankfully.

Mom picked me up and we went home. We called a buncha people we had to contact for 18 in '08 and got virtually everything done. At about 1:30, we went to a blood drive down the street. Unfortunately, neither mom nor I had enough iron in our blood to donate at the time, so we couldn't. Meh. The title of this post is from Kingdom Hearts. I love that quote, it's epic and beautifully true.

I gave mom my report card when we got home and got yelled at and I think most of you read my last post where I mentioned the consequences, but I'll repeat them. My computer time has been severely limited and I'm not allowed to watch as much TV anymore, though I dunno what that means...I only watch TV with my rents most of the time, so...yeah.

I confirmed pretty much everything for 18 in '08. It's still a huge weight on my mind, though. Guh. I'll be happy when it's Thursday and everything's behind me. Speaking of shit that's stressing me out, Gallery X is Wednesday and I haven't practiced the Dancing Muchachos routine in, like, two weeks. I really should. I'm so nervous about doing it up on stage in front of people. *shudders*

That's about it, I guess. I just wanted to say I really love you guys, lol, you pretty much KICK ASS. <3

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

Hello people!

I don't remember any dreams from last night. But I slept quite well. YAY! Photo was decent today, I developed my film and most of my pics came out, though a few of the first ones on the roll got fucked up. *shrugs* S'okay, I don't mind. Math was boring, but I found out my grade and I'm so upset about it. It's my fault, of course, but damn. It's the exact same grade I had on my interim, and I promised I would bring it up by now. *shudders*

Same with my AP Gov. grade, unfortunately. Though that's cuz we did, like, nothing since the interim. We just talk all the time. FUCK. Excuse the excessive swearing. Sometimes, ya just gotta say, "fuck." Anywho, Gov. was kinda boring. We went on a tangent but I don't recall what about...uh...nope. Don't remember. Forensics, we did a lab but it was not fun, lol. Grrrr to that class.

MindCandy was cool. We didn't do much. Ooh, but we have the awesomest assignment for tonight; bring in 10 quotes tomorrow! :D I'm SO bringing in some from my list there *points*. If you guys have any others that I don't have up that you think are funny or are a good statement on society or politics or whatevs, feel free to post 'em!

Jen came to visit about half an hour before class ended, which rocked! :D I missed Jen, it's nice to see her again. We chatted for a bit, and Mr. Robbins joined in. Then, mom picked me up and we went to Michael's. That was kinda boring, we just got paint for dad. Then we went to Wal*Mart and I got two new shirts and some new underthings, LOL. Uh...then mom took me back to school to do my second proposal.

It went rather smoothly and it was (almost) a unanimous vote! One kid said no, but fuck him, LOL. Everyone else said yes, so they're funding "18 in '08"! :D WHOOT! *is so happy* Jen and I met up for a couple more minutes and we walked to the parking lot together. She got her license, today, btw! GO JEN! Mom and I stopped at Panera again, but they didn't have any cheese danishes. So I got a chocolate chip bagel instead.

It was still good. I also got a frozen caramel coffee and that was also delicious, lol. Mom and I chatted about the mind of a killer and the seven wonders of the world. It was fun! Then we picked dad up from work and came home. Unfortunately, we have to go to a STUPID FUCKING LAME-ASS thing at school at 7:30. It's about financial aid and shit for college. I really don't wanna go. I hate leaving the house after I've gotten home. It's weird, I know, but I desperately wanna just chill at home, watch Jeopardy, and hang online. *headdesk*

Fuck LJ. For serious. I haven't gotten all my email notifications for every comment for the past three days. I had this problem a few months ago, and then it just stopped, but now it's starting up again. I can't even begin to explain how much I hate this problem. I need to be fucking notified when I get comments. I hate the LJ inbox, it's very unorganized compared to my Outlook Express, so it annoys me. MUST GET GODDAMN NOTIFICATIONS.

The title of this post is from Nightmare Before Christmas, specifically the song, "Jack's Obsession." It's been in my head all day, so I figured a line from it would be a good title since I have nothing funny to use. Uhh...I think that's it. If I haven't replied to your comments yet (it's mostly on the writer's block: secret crush post cuz I didn't get ANY of the notifications for that), I apologize. I like to reply to comments ASAP, but I just don't have much time tonight. I might be able to reply to them before we leave, I'm not sure. If I can, I will.

I guess I'll talk to you guys later.

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

Hello people!

I can't stop watching Goosebumps, guys. I'm freaking hooked. I know they're stupid, but I just love them!

Okay, for the third time this weekend, I slept til 11:00 today. I had a dream that I totally don't remember right now...but I remember thinking, "God, I should get up, it's prolly 3:00 by now." That was kinda weird...

I took a shower and got online and then dad said he and I were gonna go to the Wal*Mart in Grove City, which is WAY better than our Wal*Mart. We left at about 1:30, I think. We got a buncha stuff at the store, including an awesome white, button-down shirt for me to wear with my suit on Halloween, and a beanie with a bill that says Miami Ink and has a skull on it. It's really cool and I've wanted one for a while, so, whoo! :D

Then we stopped at Circuit City and dad got a few scary movies that were on sale. He bought me Seven, which I thought sounded cool but haven't seen yet. We also got Pet Semetary, Carrie, and a few other movies. I wanted to go to the Salvation Army and see if they had cowboy boots that were similar to Chuck Noblet's, also for my costume, but they were closed. Just another reason to hate Sundays.

We got home at about 4:30 and basically chilled. I watched some eps of Goosebumps on YouTube. See, yesterday, I watched the Goosebumps DVD that dad got us a while ago. It was stupid and definitely not scary, but I can't help it, I absolutely love Goosebumps. So I went on YouTube and searched for eps and I've been watching ones I've never seen since 9:00 last night. The title of this post is from Goosebumps: One Day at Horrorland.

This family is on vacation and they're trying to find Zoo Gardens when they happen upon a place called Horrorland, which is an amusement park of sorts. The mom is worried it's not safe, but the kids wanna go off by themselves and go on rides. So the dad says, "Okay, kids, meet us back here in half an hour." or something to that effect, and the mom's like, "You're just letting them go?" and he says, "Yeah, you worry too much." And it's hysterical cuz she doesn't try to stop them or anything, she just lets them go. *shakes head*

I'm working on a horror story that was sposed to be about cheating (as suggested by my loverly wifey <3) but it kinda morphed into this crazy weird ghost/killer story. *shrugs* But I like it thus far. And it's not a fic, so I'm making up my own characters, which I don't think I'm very good at, but I guess we'll see, cuz I'm gonna post it when I'm done. Just in time for Halloween.

Oh, last night, I found out that dad bought Nick a special edition of Metal Gear Solid 4 not too long ago. Normally, I wouldn't give two flying monkeys, but since we already own a copy of the game, I don't understand why they bought a special edition one as well. Especially since, ya know, I need a new battery for my computer and my dad's so worried about paying too much in a store that he wants me to browse eBay.

I really don't trust eBay all that much, mostly cuz I don't trust other people to send me what they advertise they're gonna send, but why can dad blow $40 on a special edition of a game we already have (and all it comes with extra is a little box and a DVD), when there are things that I need/want that I'm not gonna get til Christmas? I try not to ask for stuff too much cuz I'm involved with family sitch's and I know what's going on usually.

Since mom doesn't technically have much of a job now and we don't have two cars anymore, I'm not asking my parents to get me stuff cuz I know they need the money to get a new car. But Nick asks for shit all the time and he just gets it! He got that new iPod he wanted, he got this special edition MGS4. Who knows what else he'll get? Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem all that fair.

I think that's it...I'm way behind on TDS/TCR yet again and I dunno when I can catch up. OH, and I have to stay at school til 3-fucking-'o'clock cuz I have to make a proposal for funding "18 in '08" at school and the people don't meet til 2:45. I dunno what I'm gonna do to kill two hours, but it's gonna be Hellish, I can tell you that. Where am I sposed to go? The media specialists librarians are such bitches, they prolly won't let me hang there. Gah.

Time for more Goosebumps.

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

Hello people!

I have mixed feelings about today. Some things were good, but other things sucked hard like Stephen sucks Jon a black hole sucks in everything. I'm not gonna go into everything that bummed me out, cuz it's little details adding up to a big annoyance, and really, most of them are unimportant.

Photo was okay. If there were pictures that weren't done the day before, the teach will finish 'em up for us and then put them out on her table for us to pick up. Well, that Obama/Biden car pic I took wasn't finished when I left, so I went to the table to get my pic this morning; it wasn't there. I started freaking out cuz it was my fave pic, so I asked Mrs. Owens (teach, of course) if I could check the dark room.

I did and I checked the dryer, which, well, dries the pics, lol, and it wasn't there. When I went back to my seat, I was so upset. I almost started crying. I know that sounds stupid, but it was my fave pic and a ton of my other pics didn't even come out, so I was really proud of the Obama/Biden one. So, I sat for ten, fifteen minutes, then asked if I could check the dark room again, and Owens said yeah.

I looked all around the room and saw the back of the dryer. And there sat my pic, stuck into the back slot of it. I was SO glad I found it, but I felt kinda silly about being so upset when it was really right there. *shakes head* Stupid me. Moving on...math. I'm skipping math, lol, nothing happened.

In AP Gov., we talked about the school and equality of opportunity and how students are really commodities in today's world. It was fun! And then we did current events, so I talked about this stupid story that was on the news last night about a 16-year-old girl who hooked up with a 50-year-old man (I think he was 50...around there) through playing the PlayStation3 online, and he took her to a park and raped her.

He was caught, but ya know, I have little sympathy for the girl and her family. If the parents had been monitoring what their kid did (ya know, like responsible parents do), or their kid had KNOWN better than to try to meet someone through online gaming, it wouldn't have happened in the first place. I have no pity. I sound cold, lol.

Um, then, in forensics, we had a sub, so we watched an ep of Forensic Files! :D I've seen a couple parts of the ep we watched, but not the entire thing, so it was cool to get the whole story. And I had to help with the DVD player cuz, apparently, it was much too hard for the (fairly young) sub to figure out. *rolls eyes*

MindCandy was really fun! Choir had a pizza party today, but they ordered a few too many pizzas, so one of the girls in our class, who has choir right before MindCandy, brought in one of the extra pizzas and we got to eat it! :D And then another classmate offered to buy us all brownies (cuz it's brownie day; on Friday, all the "mentally challenged" kids make brownies and sell 'em...I call them Retard Brownies...hehe!)! It was great, lol.

And we basically had a free period. I also got to talk to Mr. Vazquez, who is the guy that booked the auditorium for me for 18 in '08. I wanted to tell him about the possible date change, and he was very calm and cool about it and I'm feeling a bit better about this whole date change thing. So, then, mom picked me up and I had to go with her to an appointment. She did get me some chicken fingers, though, and they were delicious.

We stopped at the store after mom's appointment and I convinced her to get these awesome Starbucks ice cream bars that I've never seen before. They were Frappucino bars and they were Mocha flavored (like those bottled drinks they sell) and MMM they're SO good! :D I love them! I did have to unload the dishwasher when I got home, but that's okay, I guess. I got it done fast.

There's this really stupid meme that a couple flisters of mine did. It's kinda hard to describe the rules, so here they are: 1. There are 30 questions. 2. Next to each number, write only the name of the person who fits. 3. Answer one question with one name. 4. Don't tell the questions to anyone who isn't doing the meme.

So, the people that did this meme on my flist answered me for question #5. I found out today, that question #5 is, "who seems like a chatterbox." I gotta admit, I'm kinda offended. Is it cuz I post daily? Or, what? It...I dunno, it seems mean to call me a chatterbox. Am I just being stupid? I don't think I am, but whatevs.

Oh! The title of this post is just something totally random. I said it to mom when I was putting some of the dishes away. She's got this...ceramic...vase-like thing that holds all of her spoons and spatulas and tongs and whisks and whatnot. They barely fit. As I was putting things away, I said, "Mom! You've got to clear some of these out, you don't use all of them!" I really honestly don't know how I got from there to tonight's title, lol, but I did somehow...and I think it's kinda funny, out of context.

Monk and Psych are on tonight, and I'm gonna play Tomb Raider with Nick. And tomorrow, mom and I are going to this show thing for her work, but it's at this cooly outdoor mall kinda place with a really great bookstore! So I'm excited for that. AND, we're gonna stay overnight (cuz it's about an hour-two hours away), and we're gonna go to The Cheesecake Factory and see a movie! YAYZ! XD

Also, celli_puzzle posted the next part of 30 Little Things, which has me so happy, you have no idea. <3

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

EDIT: With regard to the "chatterbox" thing: am I the only person that thought chatterbox was a negative thing? I just thought...I dunno, every time I've ever heard it used, it's been a negative application of the word. Apparently, I was wrong, lol! :] My 'pologies. <3

Hello people!

I know I keep saying this, but gah, I'm so effing sick of life right now. Everything I have to do - and I do mean everything - is being pushed down on me like some kind of compression machine. If I'm not working on 18 in '08 (which, yes, I'm still working on), I'm investigating colleges. If I'm not investigating colleges, I'm doing homework. Or I'm trying to write, or trying to have SOME KIND of free time online. I'm just sick of it all. *sigh*

Moving on. Photo was fun AGAIN cuz we took more shoebox pics, lol. I got a bitchin one today! My first two blew but my last one came out great. We're next to the teachers' parking lot, so I decided I wanted to try taking a pic of a car. I wasn't sure which to take a picture of, but then I saw one with an Obama/Biden sticker, and it popped out on the car, so I figured that'd be a good one to take a pic of. ;]

I positioned my camera on another car and waited for the pic to take. And it came out FANTASTIC! You can really see the Obama/Biden sticker. It's so awesome, I love it. <3 I'll post it when I get it back. Um, math...oh! I did the homework during class and the teach totally didn't notice, lol. It made me smirky. XD Um, AP Gov. we went off in tangents, of course, one of them being about Palin. GUH, the bitch. I hate her.

Speaking of Palin and her freakish scariness, check out what zeitgeist_10 made! IT KICKS SO MUCH ASS! Continuing with the school day, forensics was stupid. We did fingerprinting, and I've really never been that interested with fingerprints. But, oh, well. Um, MindCandy was kinda stupid, too. We just walked around promoting Gallery X. Meh, dull. But we didn't have to work, so that's good-ish, lol.

I'm thinking of maybe singing a Dr. Horrible song for Gallery X (mini!talent show). Perhaps "Story of a Girl," mostly cuz it's the only one I can stay in key for the whole song, LOL. I wish I could sing "On the Rise" but I don't have a guy to sing Horrible's part. *sad-face* Oh, well. Plus, I get REALLY nervous, so I dunno, I prolly won't do it, but it's a fun idea to entertain.

I talked to Mr. McClure about a hat day, and it's a complicated process, but I'll get it done. Then mom picked me up and we met up with Andrew (co-worker I've mentioned a few times) at Starbucks. I got the usual - double-blended caramel frappucino. It was delicious. A little stronger than I'm used to, but good. And I got to chat with Andrew about college and high school and stuff, and he's a really great guy (and cute!) so it was quite fun. Plus, he got a tattoo! So we talked about tattoos, too, lol, and that's always a fun topic. <3

After that, mom had an appointment, so I got to sit in the car and rock out to music, which is much more fun than it sounds, haha. I LOVE blasting music and rocking out when I'm alone in the car. SO much fun. Then...we went home and watched some Cash Cab and now Kitchen Nightmares is on.

I haven't really heard anything all that funny, so I used a line from Bo Burnham's "Cookout" (again) for the title tonight. My lack of originality depresses me, LOL. Sorry for the late entry tonight! It's been insane. I got an email from the people that run 18 in '08 and they told me that they want the date to be October 29th, a week later than what I'd planned (and have already set up).

My issue with this is that I've emailed...what, four people?...telling them the official date that I finally set at the school. Now I'm gonna have to go back to everyone and be like, "Oops, sorry, the date I gave you is wrong." It effing sucks and is really embarassing for me to have to go change something I was sure of. And the worst thing is that I contacted the damn 18 in '08 people TWO MONTHS AGO, telling them I wanted to do one of these screenings, and they were like, "Okay, pick a date." So I picked one, and now they need to change it. *headdesk*

I'm gonna just chill and watch Chef Ramsey now. <3 TOMORROW'S FRIDAY, FUCK YES!

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

Hello people!

Gah, right now, I really wanna just hide away in my room and not talk to anyone for a year. Every time I try to do something whilst in my room (write, watch something, read fanfics, talk to people, etc.), someone yells for me to come out and do something or nags me if I've done my homework (yes, I have, they can STOP ASKING NOW). I'm just so sick of being told what to do. SO SICK OF IT. I want everyone in the house to leave me alone.

Okay, moving on. Photo was super fun, we took more pics with our shoebox cameras. One of mine came out AWESOME, but the other two barely came out at all, so I had to chuck 'em. *sad-face* But we're taking more pics tomorrow, so hopefully, some of those will be bitchin! :D

I've gotta start doing my math homework, lol. I'm getting way behind. *headdesk* I just hate that class so much and really don't care about it. Grr. Um, AP Gov. was okay. I made up the test from yesterday and I think I did alright, so that's good. Then, in forensics, we talked about fingerprints - we're gonna do fingerprinting tomorrow. Meh. I've done that before, and I hope we're not using some "permanent" ink or pencil lead or something.

MindCandy was fun; we were sposed to work on Gallery X, but my group (the video group, remember?) had to talk to the media guy who has the cameras we'd need to make our commercials, but he was busy and told us to come back tomorrow, so we basically had a free period. We talked about our fave video games. <333

After that, I went to make up my forensics quiz, and there was a different teacher with (obviously) a different class in there, and I went in and said, "I'm here to -" and then the teacher was like, "Miranda?" I nodded and smiled, though I really hate being interrupted, so that kinda bugged me.

But while I was waiting for her to find my quiz, this girl in the front row saw one of my tattoos peeking out from under my shirt sleeve, and she said, "Do you have a tattoo?" I turned to see if I knew the person that had asked me (I didn't), and replied, "Yeah, I have two, actually." Her eyes got really wide, lol, and she was like, "Wow! Really?" 

So I showed her (and the people surrounding her, since they were all looking at me then), and she said, "Did they hurt?" and I said, "No, not really...well, yeah, but not too bad." I wish I could've said more, but I felt unbelievably awkward since a bunch of kids were staring at me then and the teacher handed me my quiz right then, so, yeah, I went out of the room and took my quiz, lol.

It was pretty easy, so that was good. Then, Chris gave me a ride home and I did the dishes and was nagged to death about doing my homework and emailing Andrea Cambern (news anchor) about covering the "18 in '08" event at school. I also spent the past coupla hours trying to reach Sherrod Brown (senator) to get him to speak at the event, cuz I have to book a local celeb. I also emailed Zack Space (he was on TCR! :D). Hopefully, at least one of them will be able to attend, if not both (which would kick SO much ass).

I've noticed that I feel really detached at school. I don't have any of my good friends in any of my classes, just, ya know, aquaintances. Those people that you've known for a while and chat with when you see 'em, but you wouldn't hang out with them, ya know? Those are the people I have in my classes. And it blows. So I don't really talk to anyone, so all day, all I do is schoolwork and then I get home and get online. It's weird. I feel kinda alone.

Not in the sense that I don't have friends, cuz, I mean, you guys are AWESOME and I'm much better with online friends than I am real life friends, ya know, but sometimes it's just nice to talk to someone in person that you actually enjoy talking to. *sigh*

Wow, this post is a tad more emo than I intended it to be, lol. Um...oh! The title of this post is from Nathan Fillion's appearance on the Late Late Show (with Craig Ferguson) last night. I gotta say, I really don't like Ferguson. He annoys me. But anywho, not the point. Um, yeah, Nathan Fillion was there for Dr. Horrible, but you know how people are with those loosey-goosey talk show hosts; they never talk about what they came there for.

So Nathan mentioned bears and was like, "Have you ever seen a bear?" and Ferguson riffed on koala bears and whatnot, and then said, "Why, have you come across a bear?" and Nathan said no but he said that he always thought, "Bears are the sharks of the forest." I immediately thought of Stephen at the mention of bears, but I think what Nathan said actually sounds like something "Stephen" would say, lol. So it amused me. Here, watch it.

Kay, I think that's it. I've got some writing to do. I don't think it'll be done today, which I'd hoped for, but prolly by tomorrow night...I think...maybe...I have no idea, lol. X]
