6 months and 3 weeks till I get my license. Exactly. It's so close and yet so far away. I need to write a lot today. Class just started so I don't think it will be a problem. I really want a sip of the water that's in my locker. I want it sooo bad. We're one week into May and 2 more weeks until Memorial Day weekend. Then when we get back, one or two weeks left of school!

Why do people like this Emily Dickinson crap?!
"To make a praire it takes a clover and one bee,
one clover, and a bee,
and revery.
The revery alone will do,
if bees are few."
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT?! I just want to yell at Mr. Marquart because he's going on about this piece of shit like it's so great. Gahh, my hand hurts now. How the fuck can anyone be certain that all these "symbols" of bullshit are supposed to be in these pieces of shit poems?! If Emily Dickinson could see what people think of her poems, then I hope she knows that I think they're CRAP!

I reallllly hope the Flyers win the next series against the Penguins. Then, it's on to the Stanley Cup Finals! Who knows - maybe this year is the year we take the cup back to Philadelphia! We have like 24 minutes left in class. I need summer. I only get to sleep in one day out of the week because I have to get up early on Saturday for bowling. In the summer it won't even matter if I have to wake up for bowling cause I'll still be able to sleep in the rest of the days of the week. Now we have 19 minutes left. I'm going to be able to get 3 full pages in. Plenty of time left...

I still owe Michelle $33. I'm gonna ask her to write my next English paper for $30 or $40. I hate this school so much. The rules they are putting in this year are so stupid - like uniform shoes and silent homeroom and the late policy for next year and the mandatory sweaters. RETARDED! 13 minutes left...

This Emily Dickinson crap is making me so mad. Poetry fucking SUCKS. The ONLY good poetry is Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Frost. All other poetry sucks. It's so stupid - how can anyone like it?! Still have 8 fucking minutes...

I'm still hoping we'll have off on Friday because of that stupid water main thing. I kind of want the summer to be already over so school will have started and I'll be able to get my license in 2 months... NOT 6. I don't want to go to gym today but I know I should cause of the stupid physical fitness test. I will decide later. 3 minutes! -Emily

May 6, 2008

Only 20 some days left of school. We're starting Emily Dickinson in English today and every time Mr. Marquart says Emily it catches me off guard. It makes me jump, lol. Yesterday Mr. Marquart didn't show up for class so we got a free! Yay! We still have 20 minutes left in class. I'm halfway through the new Jodi Picoult book "Change of Heart." It's an excellent book. A water main broke on our campus or something so on Thursday they want us to leave the grounds immediately at 2:30. I think we should all hang around so they can't get it fixed in time and they give us off on Friday. Still have 15 minutes left... Mr. Marquart just made me read. It sucked! Emily Dickinson reminded me of the Hey Arnold! episode when Phoebe copied a poem and entered it into a contest as her own and won this really creepy statue of Emily Dickinson. I just can't wait for sophomore year to be over. It has sucked so much ass.

I wish I had my license so I wouldn't have to take the freakin' bus home. And I would be able to stop at like Wawa or something on my way home. I hope to God that I pass on the first try. If I lived in Pennsylvania, I'd get my license in 3 weeks. But NO. I have to wait 6 MONTHS and 3 weeks. GAY. -Emily

Old Guys Can Rock!

June 26th, 2008
Okay, so I'm doing an actual blog for the day it actually is, lol. Well, today was a good day. Actually I didn't wake up until 5, but that's a different story.

I went to Chicago and the Doobie Brothers tonight! It was so much fun. I went with my sister and my mom. Before we even got in though, our bags got searched and even though I had my video camera hidden under my wallet, the guy poked my bag and saw it. So he sent us to guest relations or something. But then, I was like "FUCK THAT," and I put the camera in my pants. We got through!

So the Doobie Brothers came on first. I absolutely LOVE them, but MAN have they gotten old! I filmed all my favorite songs: China Grove, Black Water, Jesus is Just Alright, Take Me in Your Arms, etc., etc., etc.! Then there was a short intermission (I got a soda and went to the bathroom.) and then Chicago came on! They really aged too, but it didn't matter because they still rocked! When they sang "Saturday in the Park" they got everyone dancing! It was so hilarious - a moshpit of Moms and Dads! AWESOME! Then the Doobie Brothers came back out and they sang their most popular songs WITH Chicago! They sang Rockin' Down the Highway and Listen to the Music! Then Chicago and the Doobie Brothers sang "25 or 6 to 4" and it ROCKED! It was sooo loud! When we left, my ears were pounding! It was such a good show! I'll put the links to my videos when I get them up. I also got a Doobie Brothers shirt. What a great night!

Then I came home and went on youtube. I got in this fight with this guy who likes the Shittsburgh Penguins and at first it was funny, but then he started insulting me and I really wanted to slit his throat! Ugh, it made me so angry. I just wanted to cry. He said horrible things to me.

Then I got hungry and went downstairs with the intentions of heating up a slice of pizza, but SOMEONE had eaten it so I was depressed. So I made a baked potato which is almost as good. Now I am munching happily, lol.

Also, I made a Sims family and bought them a beach home. I like it better than their actual home. It's so awesome...and apparently Sims can get pickpocketed now. Weird. -Emily

May 1, 2008

Since when does April only have 30 days? Whatever, lol, Happy May! The Flyers won last night! OMG the game was soo much fun! We were in the upper 200 sections so most of the people up there were younger who couldn't afford anything else. Tons of drunk people! It was awesome, and Tara's dad didn't even stay with us! We got thundersticks and signs and there was tons of screaming! I love playoff hockey! I can't get over how much fun it was. I want to go to more playoff games. The Flyers now lead the series 3-1! If they win the next game they advance to the EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS!

Me, Allison, and the Ice!

Me and the Ice!

At least English is only 30 minutes today... and gym is 35. That's because we have a boring ass liturgy for fucking ascencion Thursday or something. Apparently Walt Whitman is buried in this cemetery right near my school.

I have this huge hole in my tights on my right thigh. Tights fucking SUCK! I wore long sleeves today cause I was freezing this morning, but apparently it's supposed to be fucking warm today.


I'm going to see Hairspray in Philly tomorrow with Allison, Amy, Michelle, Tara, and Mel. This week is going to be a really good one! I'm doing so much fun stuff. Ahh, only 5 minutes left. I wish Mr. Marquart would sit down so I could actually reply to Brandon's text. I want class to be over! -Emily

April 30, 2008

Ahh, I'm going to the Flyers game tonight! I'm so fucking excited! You have no idea! I bought facepaint. It will be awesome. Mr. Marquart was just standing right by me. It was so frightening, lol.

Yesterday, Allison and I made these new screennames and went into a chatroom and invited *The Bitch* and started cursing her off. It was amazing. Yesterday I got my cell phone taken away in the library and at the end of the day I went into student affairs to get it and Mrs. Penza or Mrs. Deprospo weren't in there and my phone and the write up slip were just sitting on the desk so I took them and ran out. I think if I get through the day without being called down I probably won't get caught. Mr. Marquart just started talking about cell phones and how most of us probably have them in our pockets right now even though we're not supposed to. That's kind of ironic, lol. 30 minutes left...boo, we're back to wearing uniforms for today and tomorrow. Oh well, at least we have one more dress down day on Friday.

I'm upset Tara's dad because supposedly he doesn't like me. He's met me ONCE and right before that I'd gotten in a quarrel with my Mom so now he thinks I'm nasty to my parents. Just a bit judgemental if you ask me. None of my friends' parents like me. Allison's mom thinks I'm a bad influence... except I don't give a fuck what their parents think of me.

Ah! I fell asleep sitting up. It was uncomfortable... 3 minutes! -Emily

Working...

Yeah, I'm at work and I couldn't be any more bored. No one is here except for these annoying brats for summer camp and and these two other ladies. I made one transaction today! Woo, go me! -Emily

April 29, 2008

I didn't write yesterday because we had a test that I forgot about. But anyway... the Flyers won last night! They now lead the series 2-1! AND OMG! Tara's dad got tickets for tomorrow's game! I'm going! ORANGE freakin' CRUSH! Now I don't know what to wear to bowling on Saturday - the zombie shirt I made of the orange crush shirt I'm hopefully going to get! Decisions, decisions.

Me and my zombie shirt.

I want to go home and cuddle with Darla and watch TV and go on the computer and crap. Mr. Marquart was telling us about this serial killer in Atlanta from decades ago. Wow, so coooool. Ms. Burke approved me doing the Flyers for my history project!

I'm tireddd - even though I went to bed at like 11:15. I was on these sites watchtvsitcoms.com and watch-movies.net watching stuff last night. There's tons of movies I wanted to see on them. I just remembered that I have a geometry test fourth period... Well it's not like I was going to study for it anyway. I'm going to nap 5th period. The periods are only 30 minutes though. It's still good, especially because I have gym today. I hate the physical fitness test. It's so retarded. Maybe we'll run the mile today... I hope we do so I can get it over with. My last mile run! It would be good if we ran it today because it's chilly out and we have a dress down day and I don't have class after gym. 8 minutes left. AH! I fell asleep, lol. Class is over now. -Emily

April 25, 2008

Thank goodness it's Friday! And it's D Day! No Geometry or French! I'm so fucking angry though. The Flyers should NOT have lost last night. That was NOT a penalty on Richie! It was so gay! I hope they win tomorrow. They should've won last night but that ref made the SHITTIEST PENALTY CALL EVER. Tomorrow after bowling we're all going to Allison's house and we're going to make shirts and then have a Flyers party!

Well, anyway. I'm wearing this gold headband and it actually really hurts my head, lol. Mr. Marquart is in a good mood today. Brandon and I drew this funny picture last period in large group. I'll have to upload it. We have 30 minutes left, then 3 frees and then gym and theology and then another free. I can't wait until bowling tomorrow. I love bowling so much. It's so much fun even if my average is not that great. Mostly I love it just because of the people. I'll see *him* tomorrow. Maybe even talk to him!

The drums below our classroom are so loud. The floor is vibrating with the bass and drums. It's a pretty catchy beat though. The drums are going too fast now. The bass isn't keeping up. Other then that, it would be pretty good. Okay... now it's getting annoying. I can't wait for this dumb class to endddd. So bored! I wonder how much time...probably close to 15 minutes. I want to crack my back... This girl Ashley just came to the classroom to return lost items and Mr. Marquart was messing with her, lol. I can't believe how good of a mood he's in! We still have 15 minutes left... I was just looking back through my binder, and I have 32 pages of these entries!

It sounds like the damn band is playing the James Bond theme, but it's hard to tell because they suck. Grrr... pollen sucks. The damn trees are pollinating and it makes my tights so damn itchy. Oh well, 5 more minutes. More on Monday. -Emily

April 23, 2008

The Flyers won last night! AHHH! AHHH! AHHH! THEY WON THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! They were away too! It's so awesome! They were tied with the Caps at the end of regulation, so we went into overtime. Then, we got a power play! And then, JOFFREY LUPUL SCORES! I'm so happy we advanced but now I'm wondering if we can beat Montreal. We didn't win against them at all in the regular season. Oh I hope to God we win the next series.

This is Joffrey Lupul celebrating after his game 7 OT goal! Behind him is Danny Briere, and behind him is all the upset Caps fans! I like to look at their upset faces, lol!

We're starting Frederick Douglass in class today. EWW, he's so ugly! Now Mr. Marquart is ranting about Hugh Heffner's girlfriends... 8 minutes left in this class! Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary yesterday. Woop dee freakin' doo. Who gives a shit? I just cracked my back soo well today. It was sooo good. So loud and felt amazing. 5 minutes! I have a history test next period. It's open book but I'll probably still manage to fail it. 2 minutes! Mr. Marquart just called us pathetic, lol. -Emily

April 22, 2008

Today Mr. Marquart gave us the lyrics to "The Greatest Love of All." All I could think about while he was explaining them was the time I sang that song on Karaoke Revolution. It was soo bad. I think my ring finger is infected. No doubt about that. If I look at it from the side it's all red and bumpy with infection, ew. Well, that's what I get for picking it I guess.

Gahh, the Flyers were up by 2 last night and they still LOST. Fuckkk now we're going to game 7 and it's away. What are the chances we'll win now?! FUCK. In history for our 4th quarter projects we're doing "The History Of..." and I'm obviously doing the Flyers, lol.

We still have 20 minutes left in this class. It's terrible. I am only sticking with this class because if I dropped it would mess up practically my entire schedule. I can't wait for sophomore year to be over. Then we will be upperclassmen! And on November 21, 2008 I will get my license! I have my permit right now and I hate that I "can't" drive without my Mom. But driving is so fun. I have a name already for the Envoy that I'm going to drive. It will be named Tatembay Taikwendo.

Ms. Clemens cancelled twice in a row no the days I don't have her! DKFJSKDFJ! I'm not fucking going tomorrow. We still have 15 minutes left!? I checked my phone like 48302943 minutes ago!

LOL, well I think I'm in love with Mike Richards. I want to marry him in the worst wayyyy. I can't wait to go home. I'm going to get all "vengeanced" out. I'll put streaks in my hair, maybe if it will wash out. About 2 minutes left! Woo English is over for a day! Celebrate! -Emily

April 21, 2008

Boo, Mondays. Well this weekend was a good one. On Saturday at bowling, I talked to *him.* And Sunday was well....4-20 ;) But now it's Monday which sucks. I hate school.

I'm SO FREAKING NERVOUS for the Flyers game tonight. If they win tonight, they win the series! But if they lose... I don't want to think about it. What are the chances they'll win Game 7 without home ice? I actually don't feel like writing today. I'm not tired, I just don't feel like it, lol. -Emily

April 17, 2008

I'm so fucking angry. I'm officially not eligible for throwing anymore because Mr. Milicia is a dumb fuck. I wonder what people would do if I just kept showing up for practices anyway... I fucking hate school. It ruins my life.

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings. I can't believe it's been a year. Time goes too fast. It must have been a hard day for a lot of families yesterday.

It's only Thursday... Whyyy can't it be Friday?! At least it's D Day. No geometry or French! But I do have gym. We're running 2 laps today. Ugh. And I skipped on Tuesday but you can't skip as often with Ms. Clemens as you can with Mr. Crews. With Mr. Crews I showed up for like 8 classes out of the whole quarter and still got an A.

We're still watching "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" in theology. It's a really good book and movie. I love them both. 15 minutes left. Even though the TV is blocking the clock I know we have 15 left because the bells just rang. They ring every 15 minutes. It's quarter of! Woo! After this class I'm free until 6th and 7th and then another free 8th!

I just cracked my back. It was soo gooood. It was so loud. It was awesomeeee. -Emily

Flyers Update: The Flyers have traded Vinny Prospal and R.J Umberger in return for draft picks. I'm not too upset about Prospal, but I can't believe they traded R.J! He did so well last season! I'm going to miss him so much! Also, free agency begins July 1st. If they Flyers don't sign Jeff Carter again I don't know what I'm going to do! Randy Jones is also a free agent.

April 15, 2008

Mondays blow. On Saturday, our bowling team got 4th place cause Michelle, Allison, and I missed ONE week for CamGlou and we went from 1st to 3rd and then we fucking lost at knockdowns. Grrr. My pen just ran out of ink, lol.

God, why is this bullshit being taught to us? No one's going to fucking live simply. FUCK YOU THOREAU! Well at least it's only 5 days till April 20th. -Emily

April 11, 2008

This is my last piece of looseleaf in my notebook, lol. I'll have to restock. Well thank God it's Friday. I can't wait until summer. It's not TOO far off now. We're already almost halfway through April and then we have May and like two weeks in June. And one of the weeks in June is only exams. I can't wait for this terrible year to be over. This is the worst year of my life that I've ever had. I failed several of my midterms. I hope to God that junior and senior year are better. I couldn't survive if they get any worse than this. I hear sophomore year is the hardest. Hopefully that's true. At least I don't have to go to the track meet on Saturday. I would have died if I couldn't go to bowling. I haven't seen *him* in three weeks.

At throwing yesterday we ran the bleachers and those always make me feel so terrible cause I can't even do them right. I can't hop high enough to get all the way up the stairs on one foot, especially not my right one. I don't like a lot of people on the team. I feel like these two girls (who shall remain nameless) are always talking about Me, Michelle, and Allison. I do like some people on the team though. They guys are really funny.

HOW DO WE STILL HAVE 15 MINUTES LEFT?! I feel like I've been sitting here forever! Mr. Marquart's talking about how we rely on property or something. Well I don't give a damn what kinda of person I am as long as I have money and stuff. I only have 1/2 a page left so I have to make it last. In theology yesterday we started to watch "The Five People you Meet in Heaven." So far I like it. I've read the book and I really like that too. Now there's 8 minutes left. I don't want to go to gym today. The only good thing is I have no class after it so I can take my time getting dressed. I don't have any friends in gym with me so I never have anyone to be with. 5 minutes left now. Thank God we don't take gym next year! I absolutely HATE getting dressed back into the uniform after class cause the locker room in so damn hot and you can sweat just getting dressed! I only have 3 lines left on the paper and 3 minutes left! 1 line per minute! -Emily

April 9, 2008

God I hate my life. I'm getting three D's for the quarter and hopefully 3 B's and 1 A. I'm sooo bored. English is the worst class in the world. Well maybe that award goes to chem. Hopefully I can get at least a 2.0. God I'm so fucked. I don't want to go to gym today but I have to because we have a badminton quiz. God knows why...it's only gym.

We still have 15 minutes left in this horrible class. You know what's funny? Well it's not really funny, but I have my 3 worst classes in my first 3 periods. Chem first, then English, then history. I'll write out my whole schedule.
1 Chem
2 English
3 History
4 Geometry
5 Free
6 Gym/Lunch
7 Theology
8 French
It's a pretty good schedule. In a whole cycle I have 14 periods where I don't have class. That's not even the equivalent of 2 full school days though.

Mr. Marquart's talking about how our generation is doomed because we misuse everything we have. If that were true, we'd all be dead by now. At least there's only 5 minutes left in this horrible hellhole of a class.

I hate how my parents want to force me to be Catholic. I thought I was agnostic but maybe I'm Protestant because I believe in Jesus but I think the rules of the Catholic church are just plain stupid. I definitely agree with abortion and stuff.

JFDSLKDJFDSKFJ I hate school. I don't want to CONTRIBUTE anything to society so why should I have to learn? Ugh, this class is OVER by Mr. Marquart never fucking let's us out on time. LET US GO! -Emily

April 7, 2008

Most random fucking thing happened yesterday. We were at Friendly's to celebrate Amy's birthday. We were all out in the lobby waiting to get picked up and MIKE KNUBLE of the Philadelphia Flyers came in to get ice cream, lol! But, blahh, it's Monday which sucks. But at least we get out at 1 P.M. for a middle states meeting. And I have gym today so it's a shortened period.

Us and Mike Knuble!

Ugh, I was stupid and peeled skin off of my ring finger when I was bored last night and it really hurts. And unfortunately that raw area is where I hold my pen so my handwriting is pretty bad today. Yeah, I think it's definitely gonna get infected.

We still have 14 minutes left in this class. I have a history test next. I think I'll be okay but I'll probably end up failing, grrr. I have like 3 D's right now.

I was coughing all night which was annoying. I remember like getting up and drinking water in the middle of the night. I hate being sick. I keep getting sick so much this year. It sucks. I had a fever last Friday and I went home early. That wasn't just a cold, I realllly didn't feel well. Brandon had it too. I keep coughing. Mr. Marquart just gave me a cough drop. Now I have to hold back the itch in my throat. It tastes really badddddd.

I don't want to go to gym today, but I HAVE to. I also have to go on Wednesday. I want to go home. I hate being at school. It's so boring. 5 MINUTES! Even though we have an early dismissal I won't get home till like 6 because of stupid throwing.

Wow my handwriting is horrible. It's sooo bad, lol. 2 minutes! Eww I need a sip of that water in my locker cause this cough drop is TERRIBLE! Mr. Marquart is nice I guess, but I HATE his class... I need a tissue...class is over! -Emily

March 17, 2008

I have a one day week! In 24 hours I will be on a plane to Dallas. And then from Dallas I'm going to HAWAII! I'm excited but I'm nervous and I don't want to leave Darla for a week and a half... I love her so much. I'm going to cuddle with her a lot tonight.

Yeah so we had a chem test today. I definitely failed. We were late to English cause of it and Mr. Marquart called up "evil people", lol. Jesus Christ I hate school so much. I'm failing like 394839 classes. I don't think I'm gonna go to gym today. I should, but I don't want to. I can't believe I'm almost done being a sophomore. I will be an upperclassman in six months...3 if you don't count the summer.

So last night I actually shaved my legs. Well actually I used Nair but same thing, lol. This is the first time since mid-July. I hate shaving. I only did it so I could wear shorts to throwing today (and in Hawaii.)

On Saturday night I finished "Nineteen Minutes." I liked it. My Mom and I took it back to the library and I got a new book called "Cell" by Stephen King. It reminded me of Brandon, lol.

You know how I said I hate school? Well I still do, but now I'm not gonna worry about it anymore. I'm just gonna marry $$$ like Daniel Radcliffe or another actor or a PHILADELPHIA FLYER! All the Flyers are so sexy. I hope I can marry Mike Richards...or any of them really, lol.

.......I hope this class is almost over........ -Emily

March 11, 2008

In seven days I will be in Hawaii! Only two more days of classes for me because we have standardized testing Thursday and Friday this week and then Monday next week! I had two classes yesterday, three classes today, and four tomorrow. This is because two of my teachers went on Senior Trip.

Mr. Crews cancelled yesterday. Of course I didn't have class. BOO! I wish he would cancel today. I hate gym. Today after school the driving school is picking me up so I can start my six hours of lessons so I can get my permit. I hate New Jersey. Why can't we get our fucking permits at 15 and license at 16?! Why the fuck do we have to get our license at 17?! Luckily I'm born in November so I still get my license fairly early in the school year.

Mr. Marquart is raving about how Nathaniel Hawthorne is an amazing author. I think he sucks. This book is so boring to hear about... I can only imagine what it's like to read. I probably won't even read it. Hooray for Sparknotes! Nineteen minutes left in this horrible class. I hate this school so much. I'm failing three fucking classes. I'm probably not gonna get into NHS now. Grrr. Both my brother and sister were in it and now I'm not gonna make it. I want to killll myself. School sucks so much. I hate waking up for school. And the teachers get mad when we freakin' sleep in class! Hmmm, I wonder why? MAYBE because we are overworked?! MAYBE because we have to wake up at 6 A.M?! MAYBE?! We don't even get a fucking break in the SUMMER. We have to write fucking papers and read shitty books! Now we have eleven minutes left and I'm free until 6th period - then I'm free for the rest of the day!

I can't decide if I want to do throwing or not. The people are fun but the thought of staying after school till 5 is not appealing. Gotta make a decision soon! -Emily

March 7, 2008

I feel like shit. I just want to go home and cry. There was this video on the news of a soldier punting a puppy off of mountain. How could people do something that cruel?! How can people hurt animals?! They're fucking defenseless! It's like hurting an infant! Can they not see the pain and sadness in their eyes?! I hope that soldier get killed. I give him no sympathy. I'm so depressed now. I want to end animal cruelty but I feel so insignicant.

One good thing so far about today is that Brandon did my chem quiz question then sent me a pic message of the work so I got it right. Thank you, Brandon! In English today we're starting the Scarlet Letter.

This is what Mr. Marquart wrote on the board. Wtf is this supposed to mean?!

So in the Scarlet Letter there's a character named Dimmsdale. It reminds me of the Fairly Oddparents because they live in Dimsdale.

The Flyers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning last night 3-2. Woo! Jeff Carter was a freakin' sex god with 2 goals. Ahh, all the Flyers are so fucking sexy.

This like muscle or something in the back of my left thigh is really sore. I think I pulled it or something? And I have gym today...BOO! I really should go. If I go today I will only have to go one day next week. Actually, I only have one class next week because we have standardized testing (that doesn't count for anything) on Thursday and Friday. I'm just going to fill in bubbles and not bother trying. It doesn't matter, after all. The test is called the E.R.Bs (which are my initials, lol.)

We still have like 25 minutes left. Nah, more like 20. It's 9:41. Tonight I'm going to see the school play (Damn Yankees) because Allison is in the ensemble. Dear God this class is so boring... 5 minutes left! Next I go to history but Brandon says we're just watching a movie. Ms. Burke is awesome, lol. It's probably some lame history movie but whatever. It's still better than taking notes. -Emily

March 6, 2008

Haha so today I'm not as tired so I should be awake enough to write. I got this book at the library yesterday. It's called "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult. It's about a school shooting but I'm only around seventeen pages in. When I first heard about it on this book website I thought it was a young adult book but it's actually not. The print is pretty small and it's 400 some pages. But hey, I'm not complaining, lol. I love reading! Good thing I got the last copy the library had!

In 12 days I will be flying - by myself - off of the continent to Hawaii! I can't wait!

The word "zenith" was in this story "Young Goodman Brown" and it reminded me of the show Double Dare when they would give out Zenith TVs and stuff as prizes - haha! Someone is playing Bohemian Rhapsody in the band room again, lol.

I can't wait to get my permit. The damn driving school better call and schedule my six hours soon. I've been 16 since November. It's March and I STILL don't have my permit! I can't wait any longer!

Grrr, I can't see the clock again because of the TV! Oh wait - I have my cell phone in my blouse pocket, lol. Since Mr. Marquart is sitting down at his desk, I can text Brandon! YAY! It's 9:40. About 20 minutes left, blech! I've actually gone over one piece of loosleaf (front and back) today. My handwriting is very neat and good today.

I really want to drop Honors English, but it would mess up my whole schedule. Why the fuck wouldn't they have a second period regular English II for people like me who want to drop!?

On Facebook last night I drew this awesome graffiti on Brandon's wall. It's like a sky the color of the setting sun and then I drew a tree and colored it in black. It looks really cool if I do say so myself.

I don't understand why this damn school bothers to instigate a uniform shoe and then they don't notice if you don't wear them. I haven't worn the proper shoes since midterms. If only I'd figured it out earlier, lol. I'm wearing this bracelet that Brandon got for everyone in the Phillipines. I really love it!

It's 9:55. Woot 5 minutes! I bet Mr. Marquart will fucking keep us 3 minutes into passing time LIKE ALWAYS! The clock just buzzed - 3 minutes! YAAAY!

I'm still deciding if I should go to gym tomorrow. I wouldn't have lunch but I think Mr. Crews knows who I am now. Ugh I hate gym so much. Suchhhh a pointless class. -Emily

*Scribbles all over the page.* Lol, I was sleeping all period. I got no notes or any entry. Sorry! -Emily

March 3, 2008

The most exciting thing happened on Saturday! My bowling team (Bleu Cheez) bowled against *his* bowling team (Split Happens)! We lost but he definitely noticed me! =)

I'm so fucking tired. I didn't get to sleep until 4:30 because I didn't wake up until 6 P.M. I am going to sleep as soon as I get home!

On March 18th, I'm going to Hawaii! And I'm going by myself! Flying alone, woo! Hahaha, I can see my Facebook status now: Emily is alone in Dallas trying to find a connecting flight. My nose is so congested. BOO, I hate colds. We still have like 20 minutes left in this class. Fucking Steph K*** is such a suckup. She's always trying to answer questions right.

Ugh, I have to go to the therapist this afternoon. I do NOT want to go. She doesn't help my anger... she just makes me ANGRIER! I was planning on going to gym class today but I don't think I will. I guess I'll go on Wednesday, but probably not on Friday, lol. It's already past midquarter and I've only been to like 3 or 4 classes. 10 minutes left in this horrible class! Next I have 3 frees (well probably 4 since I don't plan on going to gym.)

The Sophomore Cotillion was on Saturday night. I didn't go. I bet a lot of people got drunk. Just about 3 minutes left but Mr. Marquart is so annoying and always keeps us like 2 extra minutes. GAYYY! -Emily

February 28, 2008

Today Mr. Marquart is complaining about how we don't outline our notes well or something. Well I don't know what he's talking about because I think I take pretty good notes....HAHAH! Pfft, as if I take notes.

Yesterday at the Student/Faculty bowling tournament, Mr Nichter and I took 5th place! We got a nice plaque! It was really fun but I'm sad it's over for a whole year. I wonder who my partner is going to be next year... maybe Mr. Nichter but I don't know. I'd like to mix it up.

I was falling asleep in chem today. Maybe that's why I don't do well, but it's chem - who really cares? I think I'm going to skip tomorrow so I can do my 3200 (Grammar) test. It's really cold out today. It's like twenty degrees but with windchill it makes it feel like its negative five. The winters keep getting warmer, but we still have those really cold days every once in a while.

Why does everything we read in school have to have some hidden meaning? Can't we ever just read for the fun of it? Do people honestly think the writers intended for all these themes and symbols and crap the teachers tell us about to be in there? I don't think so. I think English is an incredibly pointless class and nobody has the guts to say say. Grr I don't have any frees today except for fifth. And I HAVE to go to gym. I haven't been to it in like a week. I should have gone on Tuesday. I'll have to go two times next week too. Next week I'll go Monday and Wednesday. I hate gym so much. It's such a pointless class. Why should I be graded on how poorly I play badminton?

There's like 12 or 13 minutes left in the period. I can't wait to go home. I can eat shit and watch TV and go on Facebook. Now only 10 minutes!

The bruise on my leg from the carnival is getting bigger. I wish it would never go away. WTF?! It's only 2nd period and I'm already hungry. I need more for breakfast than just a breakfast bar and water on the bus. That bar is supposed to control hunger for 4 hours. Frankly - it doesn't. *Gurgle Gurgle* 5 minutes! -Emily

February 27, 2008

I never have to pay attention in English again! I'm going to give Michelle money to photocopy her notes for me. YAY! Grr...next period I have to do my geometry homework.

Today is the Student/Faculty bowling tournament! It's a really fun time. I'm partners with my guidance counselor Mr. Nichter and he's like my favorite faculty person thingy here. He's so nice and funny.

Mr. Marquart is talking about Edgar Allan Poe's life story - but I already know all of this cause we learned it in eighth grade. I got a 10 out of 20 on my latest chem quiz (Dalton's law). I swear I'm going to get a C this quarter in like everything. I don't even have A's in geometry or French right now. Well that's enough worrying about grades and school for now. Students these days stress too much.

In homeroom I got called down to student affairs because I didn't turn in an absent note and that made me not able to finish my freaking chem homework... I cannot WAIT until I'm a second semester senior. I'll do only the minimal amount of work I have to to get by.

Is it Friday yet? Haha, no. It's Wednesday, hump day. This week has been going fast so far so hopefully it keeps up at this pace.

The band room is below the classroom I'm in right now and I can hear them playing "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the piano. I used to like this song, what a shame. JK. They're at the part that goes "Mama Mia let me gooOoooO."

Now Mr. Marquart's talking about the Achilles tendon. Don't you hate it when you get hit there? Ughh the damn TV is blocking my view of the clock! I just cracked my back and Sam fucking De*** looked back at Pat Car*** like she always does when I crack my back. DEAL WITH IT, FUCKING BITCH! I want to go home. I miss my little puggy so much. Blahh I'm about to fall asleep (like everyone else in this class I'm sure, lol.) I wonder how much time we have left... Montressor blahdy blah blah. Sounds like some sort of freakin' dinosaur. - Emily

I've had enough of school - particularly chem. I'm sick of failing all my tests. I got a fucking 64 on my last chem test. I did well the first quarter - four A's, two B's, and one C. Then my exams were a nightmare.

So today in English we're doing the poem Annabel Lee. This poem is not too bad. I'm using my hair as a curtain to shield my eyes so I can sleep, lol. I think I'm going to start buying English notes from Michelle and I'm going to pay her to do my papers and stuff. I was thinking about it, and spring break is not too far off! February is almost over and break starts in late March! I cannot wait until summer - no school and then OBX! I love the Outer Banks. So yesterday in French I drew Quail Man and I think I left it there cause I don't remember carrying it home from the bus.

Yesterday the Flyers ended their ten game winless streak! They came back from behind and then won in a shootout. I don't know who they were playing since I didn't watch, lol. At the Flyers Wives Fight for Lives carnival I ran into an armrest and I got this really big bruise. The carnival was really fun. I met Mike Knuble and Randy Jones and Jeff Carter and Derian Hatcher "touched me." I also met a bunch of alumini including Dave Schultz.

Me and Mike Knuble

Me and Jeff Carter

Me, Allison, and "The Dancing Guy"!

Me and Marty Biron!

I'm actually not sure who this is, lol! But I got his autograph!

Me and Randy Jones!

Now I'm going to complain about someone I hate. Her name is Liz, but let's just call her "Glowanker." She's so annoying. She doesn't have any actual friends, she just walks around looking for someone to try and sit with. She'll sit with my group and the crew group and just random people. It must suck to be her.

Six minutes left in this horrible class! - Emily

February 6, 2008

I've decided to start dating and recording my thoughts. First off, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Emily and I'm a sixteen year old high school sophomore. Everyday from 9:20 until 10:00 a.m. I like to write about whatever is running through my mind. Why at this time? Well because this is the stretch of time I sit in my Honors English II class wanting to kill myself. Today Mr. Marquart is babbling on and on about death and some poem called Thanatopsis. Everyday I sit here bored to tears, wondering how any of this crap is applicable to my life.

Let's see... more about my life outside of this room 406 prison. I'm on my high school bowling team and also in a Saturday morning league. At the Saturday league I have this crush on a guy there named Mike. I really want to ask him to the Sophomore Cotillion but he doesn't go to my school - and what's my appeal anyway? But what if I were to ask him and he said yes?! I'm so shy but I really do want to ask him...

Well anyway, my friends are just about the greatest people in my life. I know I only met most of them last year, but I love them so much.

Michelle - What can I say? I've known her since first grade and we always have the craziest times together.

Meghan - I first met her when I sat down next to her on the first day of 5th grade. We weren't really friends at first but now we are best friends!

Amy - We met at tennis over the summer. She's like my dose of sanity, lol!

Mel - The first new friend I made at Eustace. She's so unique and confident with herself.

Tara - We first really became friends that crazy day we walked to Wendy's after school.

Allison - We started hanging out that fun Friday in the library. This girl is insane but she's hilarious. (And great at bowling, lol!) And we share an obsession with the Flyers that is actually pretty creepy.

Brandon - He always is able to make me laugh with all the things he says that don't even make sense! I don't even know what he's talking about half of the time.

Greg - We're not BEST friends but he is pretty nice (most of the time) and is a good person to be sitting next to in French class.

Shayna - She is so hilarious with her obsession with the David Blaine videos and fear of carcinogens. She makes homeroom fun! And we both LOVE the Narnia movies ;)
