First Day: An Accurate Account (Sophmore Edition)

Follow-up post (we don't get many of these)... to "First Day: An Accurate Account." Today was okay, I guess, but I am thinking that this could get old. FAST.

FIRST DAY: SOPHMORE YEAR

Sleep through night :) Wake up to radio alarm. "Half of My Heart" by John Mayer. Hate. That. Song. Bad omen? Get dressed. Actually look cute. Eat breakfast. Peaches and Cereal. Yum! Still hung up on the whole John Mayer episode. Go back to room. Repeat "Ordinary Day" by Vanessa Carlton to reverse bad juju. Still don't know if it worked. Probably not so much. Grab lunch. Head out to Allie's car. Her fuel gage reads empty but she says it'll still run. DEFIANTLY A BAD OMEN.

Get to school. Double check 1st period. To A174... Away!!!

Sit by Shane, Shorty, Phoebus, and Laura. Abby comes in. YAY!!! Seating is NOT alphabetical. Good Omen. Decide that I like Mr. Whitt for this reason alone. He seems cool. Should have memorized his speach. I heard it 5 more times today.

Second period. Chemistry. With Laura, Elliot, Julie and Tyler (who dated my sister). Teacher's not there. We have a first day sub. BAD OMEN. Not cool. Plus a pre-test that I bombed. Grrr. Doodle my favorite doodle.

Third Period. English. Didn't think I had ANY classes with Hae, so when she walks in, I am elated and discount some of the first day sub downer-ness. Like the teacher. Missed being hyper with Sarah. So glad to be back.

Fourth Period. Chemistry. A quote from Mr. McCabe: "Oh, you guys have backpacks... Do you not know where your lockers are? Because I don't tolerate backpacks." I DON'T TOLERATE BACKPACKS. Yeah. That's right.

Fifth Period. Pre-calc. I love Mrs. Horne. She was super nice (and seemed to have forgoten what a bad student I am). Don't know that I'm going to like Jag Period. SILENT Jag Period. Filled out "scrapbook" page. Number that best descibes me: 3. Reasoning: Wally West was the 3rd person to be the Flash and the first Kid Flash to be promoted. This represents the growth I'd like to experience this year. Read literally two sentances of Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List before it's time for lunch.

Lunch. D-Lunch by myself. Laura and Olivia are there, but not really. Sit by a freshman. A profane freshman named Aly. Who knows about the Shadow Hare. Kind of looks mad. Elina sits down. D-Lunch is lonely.

Sixth period. French. I'm late. Mme. Lawrence seems cool. Sit infront of Phoebus again. Realize I haven't seen Jesse all day. Die a little bit.

Band. Ew. I'm so tired and I watch the rest of the world go home as I carry around metal the size and weight of a small child on my shoulders. But I'm playing well now. And by that I mean: I play GOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

This year will probably suck. Majorly. But I'm holding on tight to my sanity and am determined not to lose it. Promise you won't forget me?

Love...

Superhero Madness!!

It has begun. I have made super-human alter-egos of all of us and spent most of today perfecting them. Unfortunatly, I've yet to come up with names for most of them and I think Lindsey's costume may be close to copyright infringement... but I did really work hard, so here it is. Going clock-wise starting at the blue/black panel.

1. Black Widow- Lindsey: Spidey-powers and a weakness to strong winds... what could be more fun?
2. Banshee- Becca: Sonar-Screams... I scream circles!! Yeah, boi! And flight. Back story? Exposure to ecto-plasm.
3. (No Name Yet)- Laura: Gadgets mostly. Chic Cyborg with a hatred of manual input functions.
4. (No Name Yet)- Olivia: Invisibility and speed. Think the Incredible Kids.
5. (No Name Yet)- Jesse: Ninja-like reflexes plus a red belt. Dude, you're set!
6. Pyromaniac- Abby: Can the name just say it all?

Much Love and Geekiness,

B

MARLON BRANDO WAS A JERK OF ALL JERKS (trying to clean up my language a bit)

It is a fact universally acknowledged that Marlon Brando was a hunk to end all hunkdom (I mean HAVE YOU SEEN on the water front?!?!) The Beatles based their look off of him for crying out loud! However, some startling information as occurred to me and I am here to dish the dirt on this rebel without a cause. Marlon Brando Had two wives, which isn't all that uncommon, but that is just the beginning. Neither lasted more than two years, within a five year span in the late sixties. After which Brando through marriage to the wind and fathered four illegitimate children, two of which with the wife he had just divorced. The other two with Asian and Tahitian women who remain 'unnamed'. He did, however marry yet another actress in '62 and with a great mustering fidelity he managed to stay with her for a full ten years. However, he only had two children with her adopted another and to top it had a child with the former maid, which might have something to do with the divorce in '72. After which plenty of biographers 'suggest' that he may in fact be a great deal of other people's daddy.
So at the end of the day he has a high score of:
3 wives
8+ children
Go you big daddy. Actually polygamy is still practised in a few Mormon sects, so they might be neck and neck with Brando.
HOWEVER: Brando was never quite a saint on screen, even in Guys and Dolls, one of his significantly cleaner rolls, he was a gambling conniving man. And it gets worse in "A Street Car Named Desire", "The Godfather" and "Rebel Without a Cause". The only times he gets anywhere close to saintly was in "On the waterfront" when he plays the sadly ignorant once glorious boxer. He has been in so many excellent movies, and he is a stupendous actor, not to mention a dreamboat, so I guess that'll give him some excuse.
On the bright side Joan Beaz is still awesome.

OKAYDOKE guys the rant has now come to a close, none of you probably know what any of that was about but that's okay because no one really gets on lately.

BAND CAMP (and other such nonsense)

Hey everybody!
I'm sooooo tired and I can't feel my tuba arm. Gretchen is the most amazing squad leader ever (we had cookies today.) My freshman is really cool. His name is Kyle and he's basically a mini-Isaiah who doesn't invade my personal space. Isaiah's eyebrow piercing (don't call it an eyebrow ring, he gets mad...) is really feminine. Josh Jaccod: Jerkwad is really bad at marching. He's like a six year old boy... he wasn't wearing a shirt today and you could tell that he was wearing dinosaur boxers. I wanted to wash my eyes out. I think this is going to be a good year.
Let's see here... messing with postal workers is fun. I went to the post office to buy stamps so that i could send my camp friends letters, and I decided that it would be a good idea to try out my southern accent. They totally bought it! It was great.
I LOOOOOOVE yakasoba (mircowavable noodles). I think I could live off that stuff.
That's all Folks!
