first day of school today! i'm actually feeling pretty good about it. you know, fresh start, and everything... my only severe complaints are that they didn't give me band (cressley is going to give me music and i'll learn it on my own, and second semester i can go to orchestra during my study hall) and i have NO classes with leah (or alicia, but that was sort of expected because i don't think we even signed up for any of the same classes).

my locker is one down from where it was last year, 414. i'm happy because 14 is my favorite number. haha. and i've learned my combination already.

first period is french. it's going to be nutzo. but there's only one class so i'm with all my french friends, and i sit near justin, and next to wilson, and he cracks me up so that's good. second is computer programming, and i have it with whitney, emily, justin and jeff. i actually managed to teach myself binary during my study hall (third period). :D so i'm ready for that quiz tomorrow...

fourth is physics. i'm pretty nevous for that, because the class is HUGE and zylak scares me, but i have lots of people i know/like in there, actually. so. fifth is history which is going to be AWESOME. we've got 12 people and b lunch. haha, score. lunch is ok; there are so many people that we had trouble sitting together but hey.

sixth period is study hall/gym, and i was so terrified i wouldn't know anyone, but i guess sarah k is in there and we met this new girl that's pretty nice. seventh = american heritage with curry. i am SO HAPPY. i can tell i'm really going to love it... hell, i even love the introduction of the scarlet letter, lmao. and eight is el func. math class. haha. yeah. tons of people i know, again.

so i really like my classes, and i've got tons of homework... it's kind of weird, but it's all good. i'd like it to be tomorrow now, so i can watch the VMAs... heh... oh, and i've got to go out and get more school supplies tonight.

and i am finally waking up

asdkjagdg. we have a bit of a problem. every time i try to update i'm going to get stuck staring at this layout. i think it's honestly my favorite i've ever done... i mean, it's incredibly aesthetically pleasing as it is, AND it's got jade. hahaha, i'm so proud, excuse my bragging.

so, i can't believe it: school starts tomorrow. i'm really a bit in shock. and incredibly excited. it feels like i'm not completely prepared, like it kind of snuck up on me. i just packed my backpack, and figured out what i was wearing. and i don't even have all my supplies yet, and haven't completely finished my history assignments. they're not due until thursday, but still. i don't know... it's just weird. but i can not WAIT to get my schedule and see who's in my classes, and everything. i can't remember being this excited in a long time, and i just have a feeling that this is going to be a really great year.

today i woke up early and went out to breakfast with my grandma and julia. hahaha, it was actually pretty fun. then i went back to julia's to work on history assignments. we actually got a bit done!

there's no way in hell i'm going to be able to fall asleep on time tonight, but y'know. and pretty soon i have to go read/work on the rest of my assigments. wish me luck tomorrow!! i hope i have classes with everyone i want to have classes with... and that it goes as well as i'm hoping...

hours pass and she still counts the minutes that i am not there
♪: radiohead - fake plastic trees

okay, so i guess it's been awhile. quite awhile. haha. i completely forget some of the things that have happened. i've mostly been reading like a maniac, trying to finish the last of the mohicans. it sucks reading so much every day, but at least the book is getting somewhat better. and today i wrote my essay on fast food nation. i still have to proofread it and do the cover page, but at least it's pretty much finished.

friday i went to the fair again, in the evening. i went along with my parents and met up with tsa, whitney and abby. we walked around a lot and tsa saw max at one point so we chased him. never found him. haha, oh well... but i seriously couldn't walk that night or the next day because i'd walked so much thursday and friday and also run on friday.

saturday i spent the whole day with my mommy, because i love her and she needs love right now. :] we went shopping and did yoga and stuff. i liked it. in the evening i went over to rachel and emily's to watch the matrix. i'd never seen it before and i loved it SO MUCH. wow. i really want to see the other two now.

sunday i babysat mary rose and cooper for five freaking hours. it wasn't so bad... they were in good moods and we watched 'the tigger movie' (♥) so that took up some time. hehe, they are so cute. and i made a lot of money. XD

i really, REALLY want a new layout. i'm so sick of this one and i never really liked it all that much anyway. i know exactly what i want to do; it's just a matter of doing it.

♪: AFI - jack the ripper

i'm a little sad right now, but i guess it's because exactly one year ago, almost to the minute, i was alone in the car with dan singing along with 'lua' and feeling the best i ever had. and that night just meant so much to me. i don't miss him; i miss the way things used to be. tomorrow i have to call him and tell him we all can't hang out and i really don't want to. i don't know... i just kind of feel like crying for really no reason at all.

so today was a really fun time at the fair, i guess. lots of people went. ummm... me, leah, whitney, justin, julia, jeff, canadan, rachel, emily, olivia, chris, kelly, tsa? i think that's everybody. i got to talk to dan a lot and i missed him. a lot. i feel like i'm too flirtatious, kind of... like, a lot of stuff semi-happened, but who knows. i saw adam staring at me a couple of times and got weird feelings but i think it's just habit/being happy about the attention. and we saw donny again and he was pretty. only thing is i kind of tended to get pissed off throughout the day cause we'd get separated and nobody would care. basically.

i don't have much more to say. except that i really need to read. i don't know. i might try tonight because it's not like i'm going to be able to sleep.

my life has become a boring pop song and everyone's singing along
♪: jack's mannequin - la la lie

i'm sitting here crying because andrew mcmahon means so much to me. seriously. it's jack's mannequin day, aka the one-year anniversary of everything in transit coming out and andrew getting his stem-cell transplant. fuck yeah. oh gosh, i feel good.

haha okay so monday night i went to the fair with whitney and tsa, and we met up with melissa, ashley and abby. it was so much fun. SO MANY HOT GUYS. omg i got checked out by this one in an anti-flag t-shirt, so we kinda tried to find him for awhile, and to make a long story short i saw this other hot guy talking to the most beautiful boy i've ever seen, and teresa starts TALKING to beautiful boy and it turns out it's this guy donny that she knows! so i'm like OMG, AND THEN ANTI-FLAG BOY RUNS UP TO HIM. SO THEY WERE ALL IN THE SAME PLACE. i kinda freaked out and did some embarassing obvious stuff but oh well, i got to talk to both of them. :D and it turns out (tsa found out for me later) anti-flag boy is in donny's band which we're TOTALLY going to see next month. agh. dies.

so stuff is tense around my house for reasons i don't want to explain... don't worry, there's nothing wrong between my parents, but just my mom's going through a hard time. if you know you know what i'm talking about. it's just hard for me to explain a lot about. but anyway i'm woman-ing the house and i've taken so many phone calls and serious business and it's about driving me up the wall but it's cool.

in other news, i'm much less stressed because i've taken care of 95% of possible plans this week, kept up with my running, and i've actually been reading last of the mohicans. so yeah. life is pretty good... mostly.

xoxo
