Study Hall

So right now I'm in study hall, listening to freshmen complain about the supposed "ATROCIOUS AMOUNT OF HOMEWORK" they have. Oh, they have so much to learn. Next year will become harder to control your work load, and Junior year even harder. As I've been told, Senior year is the easiest because you have less required classes. But, oh, they have much to learn. I wish I could talk to them next year and learn about the "ATROCIOUS AMOUNT OF HOMEWORK" they have.

Pet Peeves

So I've been noticing it A LOT lately. It's like it stopped and then came back - I don't know. But it seems as though people are saying, "You're going to have an aneurysm!" Or "It feels like I'm having an aneurysm!" Yeah, well I'm sorry, but you're probably not and it's getting super annoying when you say things like that. Oh, and here's another one that I've heard, "You're going to fall and have an aneurysm." ...

REALLY?!

I was unaware that falling would cause an aneurysm to burst, but that could just be me. But for those who don't know, let's have a little lesson on what an aneurysm is, shall we? :D

A brain aneurysm is a weak bulging spot on the wall of a brain artery very much like a thin balloon or weak spot on an inner tube. Aneurysms form silently from wear and tear on the arteries, and sometimes can form from injury, infection, or inherited tendency. --- http://www.bafound.org/info/index.php

Thank you, bafound.org (:

If an aneurysm bursts, you have little chance of surviving without permanent injury -- little chance of surviving at all, for that matter. So if you're at school the next day after a major headache that you swore up and down was an "aneurysm" I would think again. And please don't say it in front of me. You may or may not know what my mom has been through on this topic and this is probably why it bothers me so much.

Oh! And you don't always die from it. I've heard that one, too and I was like, "Really? My mom's dead? Hmmm...."

So yeah, I just wanted to tell you all about this pet peeve and how annoying it is when you all say things like that that it really bothers me. Any questions about it? Comment or email me, I'd be glad to answer any. I know a crap load on this subject, considering I've been dealing with it since was six -- 'kay thanks. :D

FEA... State?

So me and Brandy went to go talk to Mr. Purcell this morning about going to state. He knew what we had done, our names, and everything. Despite that creepiness factor, it was very nice that he knew all of that. The main point of this blog is to say that he said that all I have to do is give him the dates and who is going in writing and we can go! I'm super excited. This is HUGE! Eeeeek! I'm so excited and I'm waiting for Mrs. Gray to email me back because I had an AMAZING idea - if everyone who goes could pay a little bit. It's $109 to go. Split between six people that's $18. So I'm just waiting to see what happens. As in the last blog, wish me luck. (:

FEA Regionals 10.22.09

So FEA Regionals went really well. :D

We won first in PSA and conference theme development. For this being our first year, that's a HUGE deal! I was really proud and I would be super excited if we got to go to state. (But I have to talk to a certain principal on Monday to see). Mrs. Kahler, the organizer, said that our PSA was amazing. So just a little kudos to me and Laura Beth. (:

But I'm super excited and Western is a pretty cool campus, but I still think that I'm going to go to USI, but I have oh, about a year(SHEESH! That's not very long!). Wish me luck for Monday morning....

Fireflies - Owl City

So I heard this song, I think Friday morning getting ready for school. It is amazing. Granted, I have always like Owl City, but this song takes him to a new level. Here are the lyrics:

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they fill the open air

And leave teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack

Please take me away from here

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

Please take me away from here

Why do I tire of counting sheep

Please take me away from here

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

This song has been on repeat in my mind since I heard it. It's also been the only thing playing on my iPod. It's just an amazing song. I'd like to say that I knew what it was about, except fireflies, but I don't know. It could be a variety of things - but I'm thinking it's about him being a dreamer and that he doesn't want to except the world as it is. But that's just me. What do you guys think? :D

The Play

So, granted, drama is having a play this semester. Many people are very upset that it is during December. Well, it's a CHRISTMAS play. Enough said.

I'm really upset that the special-ed kids can't have a play, too. But there's nothing drama can do about it. We're striking the set as soon as we're done. That's the best we can do. There is so much that is going into this, and our teacher can't have everyone walking all over her.

The Blue House Players are working so hard for the play, we have two advanced drama classes this year, during B3 and B4. The chorus wants to practice in the auditorium during B4. Well, HELLO. THERE IS A DRAMA CLASS DURING THAT TIME. Auditorium = DRAMA CLASS/ BLUE HOUSE PLAYERS. The auditorium is basically where we live during the school year. And give our teacher a break; it's her first year, she's getting her "sea legs". And everything she does, our old drama teacher knows about. Trust me. It's not like she's doing it and no one knows anything. The old drama teacher keeps pretty close tabs on us.

And our teacher would never be mean to another teacher. She is way too nice, and quiet, no doubt.

Scary

So I've only seen a handful of scary movies - because they freak me out so much. But one that I have seen that didn't freak me out - Halloween: Mario Edition. Just kidding, but I had to have a way to incorporate this picture :D

It's Children of the Corn. Like, granted, it's a different movie, but I wasn't very scared. Me and my mom actually make fun of that movie. (;

But anywhosers, it would take a lot for a movie to scare me. It would have to be a true story that I would totally believe. But that takes alot. The only stories I believe are from Unsolved Mysteries, and for those who don't know, was like the best show EVER. It had people that were murdered, kidnapped, and it had paranormal activity. It was pretty amazing. I wish it was still on. :(

Wow, I got way off topic...
