Wake Me Up When September Ends
today was tiring. what fun. man i have a ton of homework. i'm really proud of myself though. i really did try to make my mom's birthday enjoyable. after school i picked up dinner at Sonny's, went to get her silicon pot holders at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and i even stopped at the grocery to get a card and a balloon. i'm a good kid. i also stayed up late last night decorating with banners and other craziness and i put post-it notes all over her stuff that said nice things on them. oh how i love my mom. she does everything for me. i should do more for her.
well now that that's over, i can move on to other exciting happenings. and the happenings for today are..... hmm.... uhh.... yeah, there was nothing exciting. oh yes there was! hold on a second! a special ed teacher yelled at this one boy for cutting me in the pizza line at lunch! i'm so thrilled! yay! the pathetic force of the lunch duty teachers is rising up and taking action. Unfortunately the next action this guy took was ignored and laughed at. but at least one person moved. so there! i have progress in my cafeteria issue campaign.
speaking of campaigns, you gotta love the presidential debate! i only saw part of it, but they use so much repetition, a dodo could see their agendas! my favorite quote is... (note: it's not word for word, it's what i recall)
Bush: "The most inconsistent thing about my opponent is... uhh... that he is inconsistent."
wow. September is over. how ironic is it that my song of the day is "Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends"? ok so here's the sappy lyrics:
"Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are"
i don't exactly want to be waken up now though. it's time for me to actually go to sleep before that can happen.
Have You Seen My 10ft Boa Constrictor Anywhere?
it all started like this.... one morning i went out to my car to leave for school and someone whispers my name. i got so freaked out! and then what do you know, Ben pops up from behind my mom's car! i nearly had a heart attack. i told him to stay there and two more heart attacks were given to my sister and mom. he left his bike by the garbage cans so during the hurricane we put it in the bathroom. that was interesting... so anyways i rode his bike to his house on monday and ended up walking home. on the way if you don't know, is the swamp. normally not too scary. but scary to be walking a foot a way from it. the thing that creeped me out the most was walking past this sign... it read something like this:
"LOST: 2 Boas
8 ft and 10 ft
very docile and don't hide
Call 555-5555"
does that not creep you out?! how can you lose something that big?? car keys and pen caps i completely understand. but a 10ft snake! and two snakes no less! jiminie Christmas!!! so i was walking down the narrow road just waiting for two hungry anaconda's to jump out at me like i was J Lo. you never know what those things will do went they are set lose and hungry. those things are definitely not docile by my standards! and even if they wanted to hide, they can't they are so darn big. by the way, has anyone seen the new anaconda movie?
so i have a fear of snakes. which phobia is that? Lord only knows. i also have a fear of homework. it's like an allergy. i just can't bring myself to come near enough to it to get it done.
anyway, i wonder if you followed my above story. excuse me, tale. ggg and ppp don't like the word, "story". i do. no one cares what i think. thank You Lord this week is almost over. i'm sooo ready for the weekend. not that i didn't like my four day weekend. i really like hurricanes. in a way. not in a way that "oh yay 160 people just died and thousands more had their lives ruined". you know what i mean. "oh yay no school". we need longer weekends anyways. this is just God's way of telling HCSD that seniors deserve more free days. we also deserve to be let out earlier at lunch as when they call us underclassmen are already in line! ooooooh that pisses me off. don't get me started about lunch lines! man if i posted about my raging hate of lunch lines, google would have to kick me off for writing so much. theoretically, if i had the time to write that is.
sometimes i feel i'm not enjoying all my rights as a senior. like i'm being deprived. starting with the stupid Bryn Allen people not sending me my pics and the stupid lunch lines. anywho life goes on and i am content to know i am alive and loved and musically talented. *cough cough on the latter part*
tomorrow is my mom's birthday. so i must go wrap her present and decorate. isn't it funny how my parents go to bed so much earlier than i do? i still need to shower and do calc/stats/english poems. nighty night young 'uns.
Scapegoat of my Depression: Jeanne and Gates
Jeanne made us skip two days of school! yay! this time we didn't get much damage. just an entire day of no power. i missed my a/c. too bad we have school tomorrow.
monday was really productive for me. i went out by myself to have some fun. cough. unfortunately, Book Swap wasn't open, so i had some fun at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. i got my mom a birthday present and got stuff for the band auction. then i met my mom and we had lunch at CiCi's. yummy. after that i went to the car wash behind Gaither. that was a lot of hard work. oh how i wish i could go through the automatic car wash. ever since the top twirl thing went through the windshield of my grandpa's truck, i'm not allowed to take the convertible through one. paranoia. gotta love it.
anyways after my afternoon outing, i came home to my lovely WinXP machine and alas, it screwed me over! ahhhh! i'm so pissed off. neutrally of course. silently in a way. it's a long story. but seeing as you are actually reading this, you obviously have time to spare to hear my dark and sinister tale.
i pressed the power button. sat around. then i clicked my account to log on. it logs me on. goes to my desktop picture. logs me right back off. it's an annoying and vicious cycle. i tried everything i could think of. i asked Dustin. finally agreed that something was corrupted and the whole OS needed to be reinstalled. that took a while. first i had to actually find the cd.
well i over wrote my old accounts and i feared losing everything. i still have all my files. the bad part: none of the major applications work because they had stuff in the registry, which was deleted. so i'm really busy rebuilding only a few months worth of crap. the thing is... this so called crap.. i love it... i fear it's destruction... it is my life... it is pathetic. i built this computer last winter holiday, so i've only had it for almost 10 months now. it's amazing how far i've come.
well i've finished installing all my drivers and moving my files around. it was a really pain in the booty to set up my wireless card. the durned thing gave me so much trouble the first go round! i could barely take it this time! but i prevailed and am now able to communicate with you. obviously.
i've learned my lesson. don't delete your installers or misplace those cds. life really sucks. how am i to draw a breath without my beloved photoshop? no flash = starving. i'm in such disaray. i even had to download AIM again. gee whiz. well at least i will be more organized this go round. more paranoid too.
tomorrow at school sure should be fun.
Dear Lord, please don't let Pifer sub in Stats. And don't let me sleep in English anymore. Amen. P.S. Thanks for having Dell allow us to do concert stuff tomorrow. P.P.S. Send more hurricanes during band practice.
Experience the Warmth
yay my section rocks! euphs for life. we still need to come up with a slogan. any ideas anyone? we've decided to make hoodies. sounds like fun to me. the drumline thinks they are all cool with their new hats. lol. tonight my section did a dancing thing and we did horn visuals! it was so much fun. i feel bad for bigger sections who can't do that kind of stuff because it's all of us in a section do it the same or no one does so they don't even stand a chance. one freshie is plenty for me.
well the game kinda sucked. i personally sucked. musically that is. for the first time in loooong time, i totally screwed up while playing. it sounded bad. opps. hehe.
dude, i'm listening to one of my favorite songs right now. incubus - the warmth... good song. oooh yeah! here's the lyrics:
"I'd like to close my eyes go numb / but there's a cold wind coming from the top of the highest high-rise today. / It's not a breeze cause it blows hard. / Yes and it's wants me to discard the humanity I know / Watch the warmth blow away. (Chorus) *Don't let the world bring you down / Not everyone here is that f*cked up and cold / Remember why you came and while you're alive experience the warmth before you grow old* / Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier and leave in my wake a trail of fear? / Or should I hold my head up high and throw a wrench in spokes by leaving the air behind me clear? "
one morning quite a while ago, i got out of my car and realized that the car next to me had it's keys in the door. it was practically begging to be stolen. i looked inside and discovered a cheerleading jacket. ha. i didn't know they were that absent minded. ok marcy, let's not stereotype people now. well ok, they deserve it.
speaking of stereotypes, i am so glad my english essay is over and done with. i hardly have any time to do homework and spend time on it. i'll admit, Mark Twain was genius, but i don't have the time to analyze his entire span of geneousness in one essay. life is too short. and so was my essay. and then speaking of cracking essay jokes, i totally cracked a good one in class today and craig and i just laughed our heads off. ggg knew it too and mentioned it out loud. it was so funny. you had to be there.
today was ok. nothing incredibly exciting except that we might not have school monday because of another hurricane. but what else is new? stats was uhh fun?? we had Mr. Pfuffer or Pifer. what ever possessed Curtis to let him sub for her? Mr. P is a nice guy, but he is so psycho that letting him be alone in a room full of kids bewilders my wildest imagination. Brian thinks we should get him psychiatric help. Ms. Curtis just might need it more, especially after that insanely retarded nutrition project. ok it's a joke...
did i ever tell you how much i love cinnamon sugar poptarts? well i do.
plans for tomorrow:
- sleep in
- wash car
- nap
- jet ski
- rest eyes
- work on band website
- afternoon nap
- work on my website
- be lazy
- chat on aim
- late afternoon nap
ok... you get the idea. a lot of sleep is on the way. lately i've been going to bed around two, which mean i get less than four hours of sleep. i guess it's not as bad as Reed who got two hours last
night morning.
ok it's around one now. i wonder how long my mom will let me sleep in tomorrow. she thinks i'm going to laundry mat with her in the morning, but i think she needs to think again. i hope i can get at least twelve hours of sleep but i guess we will see...
a lockerfied head banging
i know i should i have written yesterday about Night of Joy but I was too busy doing absolutely nothing. oh yeah i know what i did. i worked a tad on my site, played around in flash and photoshop, took a couple of naps, and practiced for all state. the perfect day, eh?
sooooo Night of Joy was awesome! we had more people in our youth group this year than last. i rode almost every ride at least one. space mountain waaaay more than once. besides the three mountains - splash, space, and thunder - the lines were incredibly short. some rides on 8 people were in front of us. other rides only 3 and a couple times none! i've never been to Disney World with such a small crowd! Thank you Ivan!! it also could have been because it was 9-11.
the pirates of the Caribbean ride
sucked. i kept looking for Johnny Depp and Orlando bloom to show up. they have this new show called Mickey's PhilharMagic and i thought it was awesome!! once again, i got the high score on the Buzz Lightyear ride! ok maybe it was my first highscore... but i got 130,800 which is a planetary pilot!! oh yeah! i rock! some other nameless persons got 2600... lol.
well today is a no school day! last friday the school board decided to cancel monday in fear of Ivan. but Ivan never showed up. i bet Mr. Leonard must be banging his head on some lockers right about now.
sometimes we all just want to join him. other times, spectating is quite comical. in any event, school is blah.
don't you just love the school system? i heart school system retards! yay!!!
ok time to waste some more time in photoshop.
quote-alicious bro
we won our first game! yay band, cough sorry... football! i really don't like football but this game was awesome! i had a ton of fun!! i hope the rest of the season goes this well.
tonight's drive home was equally exciting as Brian and I raced up Dale Mabry at around 70 - 75 mph! speed limit 55 hahaha. i'm glad we didn't get caught but it was a ton of fun! i don't think i'll do it again any time soon though lol. after that i got behind him on Van Dyke and i tried to pass him and he really sped up! so i flashed my brights to annoy him! it was quite thrilling!!
i'm so excited because tomorrow night is.... the Night of Joy night!!! woo hoo!!! yay! (booooo cuz none of my favorite bands will be there!!!!!) it is still going to be a blast. i'm a tad worried about security and being at a gigantic public place on 9-11. but i have no fear, i trust in God.

2 fast / 2 furious
wow. my ride home from band practice was fun. the light turns yellow and so i slowed down and stopped and ben made fun of me for being too safe. so then we were just sitting at the stop light and ben looks over at this guy in this huge F-150. they make faces at each other or something. and then ben says that he wants to race me. in the spur of the moment, i switch into neutral and rev the engine really loud! when the light turned green i switched the gears back, but i accidentally went into reverse! but i caught myself before i floored it!! that would have really sucked! so i mutter something profane under my breath and throw it back in drive and then floor it. well ok, i'll admit it. i'm honest. most of the time. i said... shit. happy now? i really haven't cursed much in a while. occasionally. those dirty words are no longer apart of my everyday vocab. most of everyday. well anyways, i wound up creaming that guy. he knew he didn't stand a chance.
later on... on the drive home... (blink lyrics right there for ya. can you name that song? "i called her mom from the pay phone. i said i was the cops and your husband's in jail. the state looks down on sodomy. and that's about the time that she hung up on me. nobody loves you when you're twenty three. you still act like you're in freshman year. what the hell is caller id? my friends say......" oh never mind...) so as you can tell, the cd for today was my blink mix. anyways, i hit my first animal today.... a froggy went right underneath the middle but it was sooo huge that we heard a loud bump! either that was the world's largest frog or my car is too close to the ground. RIP lil froggy dude.
another sickening sight was this really skinny black cat. it ran right out in front of our car with a limp rat in it's mouth. i thought i was going to puke. and then the cat jumped through a 3 inch gap in the fence. it was gross.
i had a ton of fun at band practice today! my section really bonded. i hope we are like that tomorrow. band class was fun as well since we finally got out concert horns out and sight read. only downsides were that we suck, i don't sit with phil anymore, and i sat in a row all by myself today.
i'm so happy tomorrow is friday. that really rocks my socks off. i hope our first game goes well. i'm a little scared. oh well. life goes on. and then again life rocks on. (to the sound of my ultimate blink mix!) peace out.
T.G.I.F.D.W.
THANK
GOD
IT'S A
FIVE
DAY
WEEKEND!!!!!!
well the wrath of Frances has lost it fury now and it's safe to insult her since she's probably 50 miles away right about now. she wasn't really nice to us, you know. well except for the five day weekend part.
she hit us on Sunday, so we didn't go to church, although i heard 30 people went out of a couple hundred. my family stayed home and we watched "The Passion of the Christ" which i thought was appropriate. towards the end, during the cruxifiction scene where Jesus was poked at to confirm his death, right when blood was spurting out, the power went off! it came back on, but ten minutes after the movie the power went off for good.
there are only a few things i hate about no power:
- No A/C!!! - i thought i was going to melt!
- No Computer!!! - i thought my brain was going to turn to mush!
- No Light!!! - can't a girl try to be productive and do some homework? by candle light? that's nuts
- No Alarm System!!! - we've been robbed before and it's scary to sleep with the windows and doors open b/c it was so hot.
well it wasn't the end of the world. and the power came on around two in the morning. one friend didn't get her power til five yesterday night! i found out today that many more of my friends are still without power as i blog. man it sure will suck to restock those refriderators!!
damage-wise things were minor. our pool basketball hoop is broken - the wind caused the metal attached to the base to weaken and it fell flat into the pool. the solar panels on our roof were also destroyed - three panels were ripped off completed and landed in the bushes and the rest slid down the roof and got suck on a vent.
our MAJOR problem was/still is... flooding! we live on an acre of land on a 60 acre lake and the lake is now half way up our backyard. we have well water and a septic tank and so we've had problems... when ever we get a lot of rain we get these problems so imagine how complictated it is after ~13 inches of rain fell!! needless to say we went to my grandma's to shower, cook, and go to the bathroom. we couldn't even risk flushing b/c things back up and come back up through the showers, toliets, and sinks. trust me. not too long ago i got a total makeover of my room from a flooded toliet.
we are just happy to be alive and well. to those that aren't, i am sorry. and to those who won't be soon, good luck. well, i've waited five days now, so maybe now would be a good time to start my homework.... ahh what the heck, a few more hours never hurt anyone!
confessions of an underage sleeper
(hey that sounds like a good blog title.. what do you think?)
highlights of the day:
- watching "Urban Cowboy" in Spanish
- sleeping til 2:30 pm
- watching the scariest movie ever made - "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen"
- figuring out that analyzation is a word (and it's better than analysis :-b my favorite math class - Analyzation of Functions)
other than that, today was boring. its just a long and slow anticipation of what Frances will bring us tomorrow.
yay for gmail! woot woot neenerz! if anyone else out there would like an account, i've got plenty of invites.
ok so i'll confess. i've been thinking a lot lately about who i am and who i want to be. i think i'm going crazy. it's so hard to tell who your friends really are. i think that i try to be there when people need me, but no one turns around to be there in my time of need. i wish people would be a little more considerate and thoughtful sometimes. but then again, wishes are for fools.
so there's my rant for the day. or rather yesterday since it's nearly 1 am. mere bought two movies and rented three so i think we are set this weekend to wait out the storm. i hope you guys all stay safe. vicki imed me that her power went off for a bout five mins. here's my reply:
Marchica03: i'm glad you are still alive
Marchica03: without you my blog would be empty
it's true. you know this thing would be like reading dirt if i didn't have vicki to spice it up. lol. ok maybe not. jk
the sleep dude just imed me:
Sleepdude101: Marchica you need me. Five hours is not enough to keep you awake tomorrow at church.
Marchica03: up yours. i'm blogging.
it's a peanut butter and pickle sandwiches kinda day
vicki is spending the night and you know what that means.... the fridge will be barren in about... oh i'd venture.... two hours. lol. mere tried to get me to eat a peanut butter and pickle sandwich today, but i had to courteously decline as the smell was enough to make me gag.
so even though i didn't have the guts (or rather didn't care to spill my guts) to try something new, i still learned something new. yes folks i'm now half way to being an XML expert.
congrats go out to Dreamboat Supreme for being the first person to comment my blog. since i recently turned on the comments (oh i'd say three weeks ago) no one has noticed the link. on the other hand, i pity her as her comment solely expresses her newfound infatuation with triple G. i still haven't mentioned to her that i think he lives right down the street from me. (hopefully the aforementioned will get her to leave another comment asking for his address, therefore launching her as the all-time highscore comment leaver for my blog.)
i've finished 2 of 3 templates for the new
GHS band website. leave a comment and let me know what you think. (*wink* hope i don't sound too desperate here)
Random Quote of the Day:
"Your hair reminds me of knobs on a tv and I just want to twist them and get some better reception." - My Mom on Vicki's Princess Lea Hairdo
i'm out like a candle in the fury of frances. (ok it's corny because i made it up)
yay for 4 day weekends!!
ooooh snap! thanks to frances we don't have to march our first game or go to school tomorrow!!! it is around this point where hypothetically i would in my live journal or xanga crap, i would put in the mood box the following: "exuberantly, joyously, extremely, thrilling happy".
sometimes life works out just the way its supposed to. and other times, things just suck. today is kinda half and half.... we still have band practice and another chain of events although minor were still sucky, aka lunch sucks.
anyways i havent written in this thing for awhile and while my relationship is not faithful, i haven't been cheating on you. at least i think. well maybe...
so i'm working on designing the band website right now. i'm not the greatest when it comes to photoshop, but i guess you could say i have nothing better to do with my free time. (except guitar and homework) wait i just said homework? what homework? oh that. yeah maybe i should start doing some of that whatever-you-call-it-waste-of-immense-time.
on a lighter note, i'm starting to resent accepting the challenge of BC calc. i think i just might start getting in waaay over my head. oh wait, that happened on the first day of school. my bad.
so to all of you out there who may never read this, i am sincerely sorry for the trauma frances is about to cause you, but i'm really going to enjoy it. (fyi: "it" being no school, not your trauma.)
well i'm out like the governor of new jersey except i'm not a gay governor.
