Again. Although just barely. We're bound to lose sometime this year.
Xc time trail sucked. I ran a 23:12.... although last year I did like a 28:30...so that's not bad. I'm still 9th on the team. That means William and Mary. Wooo and I was sick. So I'm hoping it'll get better.
You know? I love driving around with Andy.
It only took me two hours to do all my Algebra and most of my APUS work for the next 4 days. I still need to finish the geography thing, and post that....research thing once Tueting gets back to me. You know that's really not so bad. Although it's probably the easiest we'll have it all year, I'm done for now.
So, I burned my self making jello, and now I feel like an idiot. Hot water spilled all over my arm when I was pouring it into the bowl. Grrr...it's all inflamed and angry now. Figures, I wouldn't like being submerged in hot water. Anyway, I'm going to go try and eat my jello, because that's why I made it, and bask in the glory of having my homework done.
Once again, I have no time to post because my internet is about to shut off, but I think I'll just save this and continue later.
I had quite the ordeal this morning with guidance and economy. I went to class first thing, and they told me I wasn't on their roster, and to go to guidance. Unfortunately, guidance refused to make schedule changes for the first 2 days of school. So they sent me away. I went back to BSA and they said they couldn't do anything for me, so dejectedly I walked back and explained what had happened to the lady guarding the door, and she asked me to go get a schedule from outside the library where they issue replacements. I laughed as soon as I got it. 2nd block 1'st semester "guidance" I thought to my self no way in hell can they turn me down now. Before she even opened her mouth, I held out my schedule and she laughed and quickly slipped inside to ask if I could come in. After a few minutes she slipped me in and asked me to wait. I finally was called into Mr. Meyers office, and all he did was give me the website, password, and my username, and told me to go to the lab in guidance. Now how east was that? Jesus...come on. I'm not really complaining though.
Online economy is so easy, it's like a joke. I had 30 minutes of my 90 minute block remaining, so I figured I'd try and start. I opened the first lesson, and while talking to Lizzy and DeVier-Scott
I managed to finish my reading and take a quiz. And just a few minutes ago I finished section 2 which they say is the longest while IMing two people, talking on the phone (although only briefly) and listening to heavy metal. Joke joke joke. But you know what. I actually am learning something, and at least I'll be done soon. Anyway, I can't post this...so bed time.
So....I'm sitting in the guidance office waiting for my online class to validate. Although Lizzy is here and we're talking and that's good. I've had to run around all freaking morning, between guidance and BSA.
Today was supposed to be a nice and easy 7 miles. Nice and easy, I was hanging back. Prefering not to put my self in pain, when Grizz ran up behind and was like why are holding back Fichter? So I decided to run with him. Frickin' idiot. He said he's going to run with me on the time trial too. : p
Anyway...I feel better than I would have expected. And I got to call Nat for the second night in a row. Yay.
My internet shuts off at 11:00, so that's why this is so short.
It's really really stressful driving to Charlottesville. Grr.... and I hate the interstate too. Aaanyway. I told my self I was going to wake up at 7 and I actually managed to wake up at 7, although I couldn't fall asleep till around 1, so I felt like shit for about an hour. I walked up to Mr. J's and right as I walked in the door, the cook who I love so very much, asked "bacon and egg?" yep I replied, and before I'd even paid it was sitting there ready for me. Gotta love it when you get the same thing every day, makes life so much easier. I sat around in Panera reading my books while mom got her hair cut. It was supposed to be my hair cut, but my hair looks like shit for a week after it's cut, and since this is the night before school, I decided against getting it cut. I don't really believe school starts tomorrow. I kind of want to walk in, and have Mrs. R go Hah! It's a joke you don't have to come. But I know that won't happen. I think I should go early the first day...even though I have late arrival. Maybe I could get a head start on my...economy? Hah. Not.
I have practice in about half an hour, and I'm really dreading it. I don't like XC. Blasphemy I know. But still....I'm feeling pretty bad. I can barely run a few miles on a hot day. Actually I'll bet I could run more slower. And no that's not bad grammar....although it probably is. Run more distance at a slower pace. But I always want to run with Andy because it's fun, but he's fast, so that rules out anything more than like 2 miles. I love how it took me half an hour to run 3 miles on thursday....with breaks. That was absolutely pathetic. Then again the heat index was like 105, and the humidity must have been like 200%. I swear I was swimming.
I wish I had a mental changer for my ipod. It's really annoying having to change it in the car. I guess that's why they make playlists. But I'll have to make so many of them that it defeats the purpose. I guess that's why they make this wonderful thing called the radio. You have no choice but to listen....or turn it off. I'll bet I could tape a...a......remote to my hand. They made those for PSP why not ipod. Or tape it to the steering wheel. Hah....I don't think dad would like that. That's actually a good idea. I'll check amazon! I like how when I was doing random article on wikihow I came across something about defeating your myspace addiction, and the first step was admitting you had a problem. I don't know... it made me laugh. Hey they do make remotes. For like 30 freaking dollars. Grrr.... oooh there's an 11 dollar one. Too bad I don't have 11 laying around.
I'm trying really hard to post everyday...but a lot of stuff I put on here is completely pointless. Then again, has it ever had a point? Need it have a point? Fuck no. I wonder if I'm addicted to facebook.... I doubt it. I sure was at camp though. I was always like must do lines.....wait! Email! Facebook! Cause email and facebook are connected and such. I'm going to start labeling every post...just because I feel like it. Okay...I'm going to go to practice now.
Afternoon,
Entreri
I finally finished reorganizing/redecorating my room. So I have a desk now..... pretty much. I've wanted a desk for a long time, and now I have one. I was supposed to go to the rifle range today, but when my dad came in to wake me up, I was like fuck this I'm tired. I'm going back to bed. So I slept till about 12 again. I didn't really have much to do because the computers were acting up so I went down and was looking for a movie to watch. Getting to the very end of the list I came to The Omen. Ahahahaha I heard that movie was awful. I don't think it was awful... I just don't think it was very good. At all. It managed to creep me out a little. A little. The end made me laugh actually, I think it was supposed to chill you though. Right after that finished Underworld II came on. I love those movies...except for the freaking gore. I understand where the blood comes from. I mean they're vampires...but it's a little too much for me.
Right now I'm actually watching the Nightmare Before Christmas. I rarely watch TV...but I've been lucky recently. I actually haven't played much guitar since I ordered the pick ups. Those strat ones are so weak it annoys me, and I put new strings on my PRS which means it'll be like a week before it sounds good again. But I am planning on recording an acoustic song I've had in my mind since camp. I wish I could bloody sing. That would be so useful. Anyway, time to go record.
So I stopped posting at camp. Sorry, but now I'm posting again, so all of you can come back. Anyway....this has been a weird day. I woke up at 1:50. I've never done that...ever except, apparently when I was 6 and I slept 36 hours straight. Well anyway, I've felt like shit all day. Well more like 3rd grade dog food left out on a hot summer day. Other than that I really haven't done anything today, except learn a bunch of Nipe's songs. Shit...it's already 8 o' clock. I feel like I just woke up, well I did, but that's not the point.
There was a really nice thunderstorm today though. The dog was flipping out, but we finally got her to go away. The thunder was crashing, and the rain was slashing the windows. Mmm I love thunderstorms. I didn't manage to get a run in though. Whoops.
I'm going to go eat lunch though.
How come our first game of the season is the Friday before school starts...that's really annoying. We won anyway, and it was a glorious game, but I never do seem to get excited. I don't think that's a bad thing, but I specifically remember Kevin yelling at all the "emo" kids in the back to cheer and have a "fucking great time." I like how he looked right at me. -By the way, this is going to be a sporadic post.- No one recognized me at the football game. Probably because I was wearing a hat, jeans and a tight shirt. I've never worn that around school people before.
I got new guitar strings today, and a new pair of jeans. I don't really like jeans, but I felt like I wanted some, and they're pretty nice... I like them, but they're really tight. Then again, that's how jeans kind of are. I hate JMU traffic. Those people seriously can't drive at all, and they're all reckless. Thank god I have good reflexes though. Only a little over a month until I can drive now. Yay! That will be so useful.
I have so much crap under my finger nails, it's driving me up a wall. But I need them long for finger picking. I have to resist the urge every so often to rip them off.
My lesson was pretty good as usual. I learned quite a bit about my amp, and guitars, and more about soloing. XC was absolutely awful. I got heat exhaustion again, or maybe just dehydration. Anyway... I just ordered my self a new set of pickups, I'm pretty excited.
It was really hard to say goodbye tonight. I hung out with Rachel and Sean for most of the night, and we ran around trying to find food and ice cream, and cursing all the restaurants that were closed. I felt so great to be out with them. And it really clicked right when Sean pulled up to my house. They're leaving tomorrow. The last of the people that befriended little freshman me when I had no idea what I was doing. My big sister.... Sean, Rachel, Camila, Alex, William, Patrick, Annie, Beth, Isa. Yeah, some of them are still in the area, but they feel gone. Just...these people....they're my best friends, and now they're all going away. I can't even put this into words, I'm stammering to find the words. It's just that warm....but cold feeling. But definitely very warm. I have all those memories now. Especially tonight. Tonight was great guys, thank you.
I feel like when you look out at night, and it's snowing, all sideways. And there's a quickly disapearing path of foot prints in the snow, and the sky is that glorious purple grey black color. And you're sitting there...drinking your hot drink -cider for me, nice hot spiced cider-curled up in a warm blanket. And if you're me, you probably just finished talking to Alex, because she makes you feel like this. It's really cold...but you have every reason to feel warm.
No matter how much I love rain, it annoyed me a little today. For that fraction of a second after THOR went off I thought "fucking rain." And then immediately apologized and ran out to play in it. We missed Nippleball because THOR is stupid, but we got off with only a 30 minute run. I had a pretty boring day... I was up till 4 last night Talking -I'm going to keep that random capitalization for no reason- to Nat. I was informed that I have a nasty cracked tooth...and I'll need to get it repaired. Umm...holy shit it's 1:30. I should be in bed, but I'm not. I am kind of hungry though.... but I don't want to go downstairs. Grrr... time to go back to talking....more.
Well, it took till the second day before I decided I wanted to quit.
But don't worry.
I'm not going to.
Today was the first day of practice I managed to haul myself to at 6 in the morning. Although I tried yesterday....but no one was there. This is the first time in about 5 years, that on the first day of practice I haven't wanted to quit outright. Of course I choose the day we have a workout as my first day. For a long while I was sticking with the lead pack. Bair, Goldie, Banks, And Dan, but when the actual workout started I dropped behind. What can I expect, they've all been at practice for almost 2 weeks now. Goldie and I went out and got slurpees at 7/11 right after practice, and sat in his car listening to Tenacious D and Queen and all manner of weird bands. Until a thuggish guy got out of his old car, with dread locks and bright red clothes, glared at us, and walked inside. That's when we decided it may be time to go.
Practice left me pretty tired, andI've tried taking a nap today but I can't seem to fall asleep. I had actually slipped out of consciousness when the bloody phone rang. With a curse I threw off my covers and went to answer it. It was the newstreak asking me what I did this summer. Still slightly dazed I responded. Went to camp. And she stammered for a second, then asked where, and proceeded to ask my questions. It was over in a flash, and I stood there with the phone buzzing in my ear. Grr... back to bed.
But I can't sleep.... so I'm sitting here. Listening to what Ben and I did yesterday. Not bad....
