The Windy City
Ah, so refreshing to have a 3 day weekend laid out for me. By the way, I wish all of you out there much happiness and relaxation! I know I need it...
And so, me and my family are packing up to go to Chicago. It's one of my most favorite places in the world. There's just something about it that draws me in; it has a "personality" you might say. Now Atlanta, GA....that place has a VERY monotonous personality. I'm willing to bet that it hasn't made many good friends lately.
So! Let us step aside from treating cities as people and visualize. Whoever you are, close your eyes and feel that relaxed, no worries feeling. For those of you still on summer vacation, close your eyes and feel the horrible pain and suffering of school! *evil laughter* XD
Did you know Chicago has its own theme song? I find that very awesomely awesome. Too bad I only know one line: "Chicago!" Make that one word...But if I did know the whole thing, you'd find me singing it loudly/obnoxiously/annoyingly in none other than the windy city.

Bug Bites Aren't Life-Threatening, But They Sure As Hell Itch...
Gah, I've got multiple bug bites on my right foot! *scratch, scratch, scratch* As to your glance from my earlier post today to this one...well there's no rule against posting multiple times, so deal with it!
*scratch, scratch, scratch* Goodness, what lured that incessant bug to my foot of all places? It's horrible in school, because then I've got shoes on and I can't exactly scratch away to my heart's content...
Besides that, I once again am procrastinating. I have a speech due tomorrow, but I found it more interesting to visit Badger, Mai-chan, and Charlie's blogs. By the way, the music on Charlie's blog is great. Nice one, Mastah Roy! (in the slight probability that you're out there)
Speaking of music, I gotta add some to this place. It's still under construction, as you may be able to tell whenever the text and sidebar are skewed around on random occasions. I'm getting there, I'm getting there. The layout itself was the best I could find. I could venture into the unknown and dangerous world of creating my own layout, but I'm a lazy bum...so for now, we'll leave it til later.
Maybe you can tell, but I've sorta kinda recovered from my lack of satisfaction. *scratch, scratch, scratch* Some of what cheered me up was that I got to graffiti in my sister's planner. Oh baby, was that fun! It was even funnier when she looked at me and said, "My teacher picks our planners up for a grade." Yay! Now her teacher will get to see the poem that Sammy so "geniously" produced:
Poop is good
Poop is great
Poop is better
Than a steak
Good times, good times. Ack!!! I have to finish off that accursed speech AND memorize it (heh, partially)...

Just Crapperific, Thank You!
CAUTION: WILL TRANSITION TO RANT MODE IN 5...4...3...2...1!
Jeez, today wasn't one of my best days. You wouldn't expect that, especially when today is the first day off my grounding sentence. Let me just thank Ambah (hopefully you took my advice and you're reading this), Shebly, Sammy, Sara, Kaitlyn, and anyone else that I've so ungraciously forgotten for making this day slightly more bearable.
I simply feel unsatisfied with school right now. The workload's fine *rolls eyes* but I feel as if I'm not achieving anything. English is great though, as we go deep into meaning and get to analyze things that hardly anyone talks about these days. I could take that class all day long and never get tired of speculating on Shakespeare's works or looking into the many layers of Dickinson's poetry.
Too bad that's not applicable to Chemistry! The subject itself is intriguing, but as we're in the beginning stages of it right now...I mean, we spent a freakin' half hour on carbon and nitrogen cycles after being told that we weren't required to know it! Do you know how amazingly dull it is to figure out where carbon goes after it's diffused into the ocean? *stares pointedly*
I mean, I feel like there will be nothing to take out of this year. Nothing to laugh about, or learn "life lessons" (no matter how cheesy that sounds) from...*sigh* There's this Academy that's opened and it allows juniors and seniors to go to the college and take math and science classes. My parents made the mistake of telling me and now I want to go so badly. I'm a stinkin' overachiever and I want to rise above the rest...but that's impossible at this point as my parents are hindering me from it. How, you ask? This Academy requires students to live on campus. Heh, my parents are very protective and want their little girl to stay at home as they believe that I'm not an independent. I've been telling them over and over that I'm applying, but they remain silent and give me looks that clearly say, "You're not going." T_T Actually the look is more like that...make it two, as it's my parents: T_T T_T
To wrap up the "spectacular" day, Academic Team sucked. Debate Team sucked because they felt the need to schedule a meeting when I've got Academic Team. Our coach seems to favor Juniors and never notices how much of an a-hole one of them is...
I have a very good feeling that some people reading this blog will write me an entirely reassuring comment, boosting my happiness level, and therefore, I bow down to them. Heehee, really, I thank you guys...
I don't want to make YOU feel crappy by ending this on a bad note, so I'll end on a mildly pleasant one...My friend's been lending me Deathnote, and it's been a really great manga to read. I once had a laid-out opinion on the death penalty, but this manga is really making me question my belief. The main characters, L and Light, have such amazing thought processes...I'm getting a bit deep so I'll simply recommend it to anyone and leave.

Yucky Blucky...
I have been officially grounded until next Wednesday T_T. On what grounds? Well, I sorta kinda tuned my mom out after hearing her ask me time and time again to get off the computer. Why is it that I always feel as if I'm doing something really important everytime I'm told to get off? I don't think I'll be able to answer that question for many a year *sigh*
But not only that, I'm also grounded from the phone! ARGH!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a materialistic person, but I do enjoy talking to my friends over the net and the phone. As I look back...it's true that I've been neglecting my chores and not helping around the house as much as I should...gah, why must this guilt kick in?Another question that won't be answered for many a year, but only for a simple reason: I don't want to answer it XD
On a better note, I made the Academic Team. *confetti* Me and Shebly are considered "alternates". At first I was a bit "T_T" about that but it makes sense. To tell you the truth and casting all modesty aside, I think I'm a really good player. It's just that I froze so inconveniently for 2/3 of the try-out days...our coach was pretty generous about it. She let us in because she knew how we played last year. And so, being alternates, me and Shelby are up for more of a challenge. Our performance in practices decide how much playing time we get in games. Nifty (Ms. Tipton's fifty), eh?
A dude at our school's started a Debate Team which I'm pretty excited about. Especially after KUNA, which was a sort of U.N. simulation where schools represented different countries and debated about proposals, etc. It's about time I got back into my debate mode...then again, I'm like that 99.9999999999% of the time, right?
You may be wondering how I can be typing up this blog when I'm grounded, right? Well...I shouldn't be...you were hoping for a smart response to that *ahem* rhetorical question, weren't you? Heh, sorry...
*disappears in a cloud of mushrooms*
(this is for you, Badger!)
First post, eh?
I really doubt that this post will be memorable. Then again, must it be memorable? *sigh* I should be working on my lab report right now, but...I'm just not "feelin' it" you know? Then again, who
does "feel it" while writing a dull abstract? DON'T ANSWER THAT! It was rhetorical, heehee.
Personally, I loathe rhetorical questions and/or statements. I sit there, wondering if I should answer or not. I mean, if I answer and the question and/or statement is rhetorical, I must sit in my imaginary Corner of Woe, averting my eyes from the said speaker. If I don't answer the question and/or statement, I am looked upon as slow...or whatever the said speaker's personal opinion may be.
I just heard something! Yes, the cries of my abstract to be completed! *tilts head back and cries* sheesh, I'm coming, I'm coming...
