So today I felt positively SPARKLING!

YOUR INFO.
Start Date: Monday March 23nd, 2009 
End Date: Sunday March 30th, 2009
Todays Thing: Get all work due in on time/Ask for help when needed/be a good friend
Info: So I have a habit of getting things in late... I finished my homework this morning before school and only one thing was due so I felt I kind of cheated. I'm struggling in math at the moment because I've been away and the teacher can't control the class and she doesn't make sense. So I swallowed my pride and asked Caitlin to help me, and it was good, she really did help a lot. There are still some things I don't understand so she said she would help me tomorrow too. And today, I found out that we have a CLOSED book math test tomorrow. how awesome right? I'm so going to fail.  Today at lunch time Jess (one of my friends) was kind of exiled from the group because she said a mean thing to Jasmine and Jacqui doesn't like her much. She did apologise and she did say she wasn't thinking, and I know its hard to forgive but she's a friend of mine and I don't have a problem with her because she doesn't tend to think before she speaks. So at lunch time she was standing all alone and my heart went out to her, it really did because I know what it's like to be that girl. So I told her to come stand with us, and she didn't get a very walm reception but I tried to include her and asked her to sleep over sometime and invited her to the library with me and Caitlin. It looked like Jasmine patched things up with her while me and Cait were doing math so it's all good? I felt kinda warm and fuzzy afterward.

Tom's Thing: Smile more. I don't do it a lot so I should make an effort to. Maybe smiling all day will rub off on me.

1. I was supposed to go to school today. I can't be bothered. I could just barely make the bus if I tried but the only reason I had to go to school today was because I had to hand in my books for sale, and my dad more or less agreed to take me up after school so I'm just not going. It's not as if we are learning anything valuable, its the end of year and nothing we do can go towards our marks so it is basically comprehension excercises and teachers *coughmrscowiecough* yelling at us to get it through our heads what a euphemism/metaphor/similie/ect is when I know what they are. Actually, if she asked me I could probably come up with a dozen euphemisms, not all of them appropriate, (Jerkoff, you know what I'm talking about)

2. Dad's  laptop is now known as CJ's laptop. It's mine! :) Gosh, I love my dad when he is not cranky.

3. Preggo sister's baby is due in January. She looks like a whale now LOL.

4. I'm turning into a man. The CJ that stood for Caroline Jean will now stand for Carlos John. Ugh, just ugh.

5. No Bones until January! WTH, its the best show ever and they're doing the christmas break thing. I hope PD stays on until then, or Greys at least. It can be my bright and shiny lantern of hope.

Well I'm off to go do some writing or play zOMG. seeya

So, overslept today, but not for very long. Arrived at school an hour or so later to discover Caitlin would not be attending school as she threw up three times. So I waited in the hallway while occasionally making "Blow Daine" jokes to Fabian. Jacqui soon arrived and we went to Science where we did electricity stuff. Jacqui and I talked about "Fradentical" twins and we decided that we were Fradentical Woglets (She's half greek, half Aussie, and I'm half Italian, half Aussie... Lishaa is our fellow half woglet :P she's half German, half Aussie).

The bell went and we went to English. I collected my poems and stuff and we did a little bit of theory and then spelling. I hope I land up in 9E next year and have Mrs T.

Recess was spent with Jazz Pants of course.

Art. The usual chillout zone. Mrs G weirded up the tables so we were all squished together. Sat next to my fradentical woglet and the other woglet. We did a weird painting thing with Gesso (Which reminded us of Gello). The Fradentical Woglet and I spent half the lesson drawing Deliah and Delores, the two dinosaurs which would carry Bella, Jacob, Rosalie, Mike, Eric, Tyler and Esme off to some land away from the other vamps. Alter Ego Jacqui and Alter Ego CJ controlled the dinosaurs while Siti sailed overhead with a kite made out of her headscarf and Nicky and Alisha glided along on her leg. Down on the ground Edward carried Jacqui off to his love nest and Carlisle and I danced.

The Fradenticle Woglet and I hung out at lunch with Jazz Pants and we talked about beauty and inner beauty. We had a skank attack when McSatan and two Identical skanks walked past us. I wonder what Identical skanks are called... Skadentical?

Had Japanese next... actually did a little work. Issy got sent out. I have a jam packed weekend, my party on the Friday and hers on the Saturday. Geography and The Fradentical Woglet and I sat together and listened to the teacher lecture at the start and then we did our work...

Other news: I started editing my NaNo 06 novel (unfinished), Almost Perfect.

So today... this whole week... it sucked. It still sucks. It's going to keep on sucking because I have school tomorrow.

Monday... the first day back at school. It was alright but it still sucked, I honestly can't remember anything much. Tuesday was very much the same, apart from the Baby jesus thing.

Today.
Wood Tech. I nailed a few things... Caitlin did the rest for me. I suck at everything at school. I used to be good at english, but now I think maybe I'm not cut out for it if they want perfection, because I am not perfect, I do not have the perfect rhythm, the perfect beat, I run by feeling, by emotion, not by "four lines a stanza".

Geography... Mrs R was in a very lecture-y mood. I forgot my text book. Math. Difficult and confusing.

English... my usually bright and shiny latern of hope. Today it was horrible. No, we weren't doing debating, we were doing poetry. I decided to finish off the Midnight Girl for my ballad and I didn't know how to so I brought it up to Mrs C hoping for some insight. She slaughtered it. She took away lines that were crucial to the feeling of the poem, to the beat, and she reworded stuff that didn't need to be. It was fine the way it was, I could have made it four lines a stanza if that was how she really wanted it and it would have been fine... but she slaughtered it. What was once a piece of writing filled with what I call feeling, hope and sadness and she turned it into a mindless piece of dribble that didn't mean anything at all. I know I have to take critism and what not and okay fine, but she took away the life of Midnight. She took away its soul.

Of course I was sad. I almost cried at seeing it ruined like that, I really did. Caitlin and Alisha tried to cheer me up, but it didn't really work. I used to think writing was a way to express one's self, it was my second breathing system. But now I'm not so sure that I'm cut out for it... I don't want to write mindless pieces of crap that are filled with cliches, I want to write feeling, I want to write from my soul.

 

( A refresher on what I'm talking about... The Midnight Girl )

So the day started off as usual, alarm clock, get dressed ect. Installed The Sims Apartment Life, went to school. First two periods was Drama, we watched this reeeaaally old movie called Great Race and it was kinda funny even if it was old.

Recess and I hung out with the usuals, finished up my oral presentation stuff. Something really gross happened though, I touched the railing on the stairs and someone had like blown their nose on it so I couldn't stop gagging for about five minutes.

The oral presentations in English were quite scary, I hate being up in front of a group of people, but I'm pretty sure everyone in our grade is too. Caitlin and I speculated a Mexican Wave Cough :P but decided Mrs C would get pissy.

Math was alright, Angles is our new topic. I got my math test back, 41 our of 49, I even got more than Jacqui! I was pretty sure it was impossible. I don't talk much in Math and the teacher was going to keep us in for some of lunch but she let the good people out but didn't say my name, and when all the good people left she was like "alright all of you are in here because you've been bad" and then Lindsay went "What about CJ?" and she looked at me and she kind of laughed and said I was her blindspot. I guess being invisible is better than being constantly noticed though.

After lunch we had Jap, and I did a little of my work for once and then helped Issy with her Once Essay. Kind of boring actually, Issy got sent out near the end of the lesson for laughing really loudly. The Snoggers (aka, Caitie and Josh) snogged a bit and then we went off to Geography.

It was scary, seriously scary. SHE WAS IN A GOOD MOOD! There was half a lecture but it was about studying. Turns out I am second from the top in the class, missed it by 3%. She handed back our tests and I got a suprisingly high mark considering the fact that I'd been away almost two weeks and hadn't studied. It was so funny that after she said that she was like *points to me, Lindsay and Tony* "These people got the highest because they studied. They actually went over there notes! Nobody can wing it in a test, it takes hard work and preperation!" and I don't even go over the notes or the work lol, and I'm pretty sure that Tony and Lindsay didn't study either. She joked around somewhat with us and then let us pack up five minutes early and she talked with Caitie nicely for those five minutes.

All in all, it was actually a good Friday, except the recess incident.

So today started off with my alarm clock blaring at me and I turned it off and wanted desperately to go back to sleep but my dad's alarm went off so I had to get up. Got ready for school and then to the bus stop. When I got there I headed for the Atrium and lined up with my class. Mrs Robinson came in and said that she was taking our class so me and my friends happy danced like crazy until McSatan showed up and announced we would be doing sport so our dance was cut off and replaced with dread. We had to do 20 laps of the gym but Jacqui ran with me so we were okay. We ended up playing a sport called Chookball, (aka the weird version of European handball) and that was fine because it didn't require much work and I got to sit out in places with my friends and we talked and laughed about The King of Oz Horror High.

HHR and we played puberty-themed board games. They were quite funny actually and my group had a good time. English was alright, but we have our Oral Presentations tomorrow which will be an absolute nightmare.

Math and it was an open book test. Kinda easy and the closed book one is on Friday. As long as it does not include Tree diagrams or any of the later excercises I will be okay. Jap was boring as usual.

After school I went to the library and at the grocery store I saw my aunty Rina. I hadn't seen her in years. She looks awful... she has breast cancer. Aparently the success rate is 95% or something, I don't know, I wasn't listening.

On the drive home my dad told me he is kicking my sister out. I won't go into details but I keep wondering if it will be me next. My family deteriorated  one by one and now it looks like it is just me and my dad.

So today I did go to school lol, for the first time in almost two weeks. I was so out of the loop but it was okay because it turned out I hadn't actually missed out on that much. Science first, and I discovered that one of my earrings had fallen out in bed so I went around all day with only one earring on and nobody noticed lol. It was good to catch up with my friends, and I sat with Jacqui and Alisha and of course Caitie. We have a test tomorrow for Science but I am pretty sure it will be easy. I also have tests for Maths and Geography which won't be so easy (the math one more than the Geography one).

English next and I entered my books for the premieres Reading Challenge and then did my work which was a paragraph where we pretended to be a journalist for the olympic games... it was actually interesting.

Art next and we finished our Charcoal pictures and then worked on our hands. This is when we (Caitie Jacqui and I) came up with the King of Oz Horror High which is like a crossover parody of The Lion King, The Wizard of Oz, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and High School Musical. It will be majorly funny and we plan on filming it and sticking it on youtube.
Since I have been given the dubious task of writing the script I have come up with a list of characters :P

GLINDA THE LOUD.................
THE WICKED WITCH OF WEZZA.......
SNOWELLA........................
BOY TOY.........................
SHARP A.........................
THE WIZURD......................
OLE GREG........................
THE BOY WHO DIED................
DRONGO MALFOY...................
RILEY CYROUS....................
FAY BEE ANNE....................
POSHUA DALLYBOY.................
FRON CHESTCAR...................

It will star Caitie, Jacqui (probably), Jasmine, Caitie's sisters(maybe) and Caitie's other friend and I will try to get her to convince her snogging partner Josh to join in :P

Where do I begin? Our download usage got cut off on the 28th so that meant no writing on here until now. Nothing really exciting happens anyway.
Today hmm... Drama first. We were learning about clowns :P Then we had to go do some acting. It was okay, even though acting isn't really my thing.
English was the same... but oh crap I forgot to get the Once book off Jacqetta. Hopefully I can find like a pdf file or something on the net. Um anyways... Breaking Dawn is preordered so I'll get it Tuesday morning and knowing myself, I'll probably end up reading through school.
Math was so damn confusing and yet it kind of made sense. For example:

Lol. That basically means the probability of choosing a vowel randomly out of the alphabet is a 5 in 26 chance :P. I like Mrs. G. but she gives up on people too fast, doesn't bother to try and explain it to those who need help.
Lunch was pretty awesome. Jaz, Stacy, Leighton, Aaron and I hung out in the library being all immature. Jaz got us kicked outta the RIBIT area so we went between the stacks of non fiction books and laughed at the "Growing up is normal" books and then Stacy found a tattoo book with tattoos on ALL areas of the body. If you get my drift. Then Leighton and Aaron found this book with drawings and oh my god it was so funny that I cursed myself for having a weak bladder cause I almost wet myself.
Jap was amazingly fun. Issy and I did no work and I drew on Fabians hand and then Lochlan drew on his face and I got my textas confiscated :P  and then Lochlan stole some back for me :P It made me ROTFL.
Geography started off as it always does, with a lecture about backtalking and 'personal attacks' on her (Doesn't she realise by now that all teenagers backtalk?) I sat with Caitlin and Jacqetta, with Alisha in front of us and Siti and Nicky behind us. We weren't allowed to talk. I did anyway and told Caitlin, Siti and Jacqui that I ate their babies and Caitie asked what it tasted like and I said fish (I love Bones for teaching me that).
So that was basically it. I never thought I'd say this but I wish Miss Gallivan was our teacher.

Today was a mixture of bad and good. English was love ( <3  ). Sat next to Caitie pants and couldn't find my element of writing so I proceeded to look at Caitie's work and make it rhyme for her. It just kinda went from that to me and her writing together about a girl who's teacher is her mum and she accidentally craps her pants LOL. Then the bell went. I miss having double periods of English.

Geography was the same as always, though Mrs. R was on the rampage. I seriously wish I could whack her with the hockey stick. She does not shut up. She just goes on and on and on about the same crap and she wants us to be silent all the time. Does she not realise that we happen to be teenagers and none of us want to be there really? Of course we are going to talk, but the majority of the time we are not even that loud. Then she acts like if we do talk to her most of it is like a personal attack. I really do not like her.

Science was good as always. It was discussion all lesson. Math was bad. I had to work with this girl who I totally hate, but I was thankful it was not the guy. I seriously think he did not learn his lesson when Kristy threw her scissors at him. Hayley and I got our work done fast. I think it was the fact that we could not stand each other that did it. I spent the rest of the lesson doodling in my diary about Francesca's love monkey Pierre (lol! Caitie will get that reference).

We had Textiles for the last two periods and Mrs. A called me by my sisters name again. Caitie, the rest of the girls and I decided that Caitie was my new mother, and Alisha was my dad and I was going to marry Siti's pencil and Alisha would be my flower girl, Caitie my maid of honor, Jacquetta the ring boy ( :P ), Nicky the best man and Siti the other flower girl. At Alisha's wedding I would be the best man and Caitie (the maid of honor) would walk down to the Love Games song (the Old Greg version).

That was basically my day :P
