Few Fries Short of a Happy Meal
What a good game! Too bad we lost against the Terriers. It was a tad scary being in the ghetto. We kept imagining hearing gun shots. Jessica's advice: "If you hear a shot, hit da flo'."
Tomorrow is it. FBA. We've worked so hard and long. I've sweated so much. And now it all comes down to one day. One day. Yay. Boo. Ok. I hope we don't suck too much. Because that would suck. I'm pretty tired now and I should probably get to sleep soon, but I'll fill you in on my day and hopefully I will give you some of those quotes you know you are dying to read.
My day. It was good for a Friday. I talked to "Bob" and I think we are cool now. If we aren't, then I'm cool with that. Calc is getting easier, but not for long. How I love math. Here's some lovable math: I got a 68 on my quiz in law studies and we've only had two quizzes. My average is 98%. Amazing. Yes indeedy. I got a 98% on my stat quiz. Gee whiz what do I have to do to get a 100%?! Sometimes I think that lady is too much of a perfectionist, but that can be a good thing, I think. I'm happy with my "A". AP Lit is killing me. I'm thinking about going trick-or-treating and showing up on his doorstep to terrorize GGG. That essay is the pits to the infinite power.
Recent Rememberable Quotes that crack me up like a broke addict:
Kajannae: "I hate those new dresses! They are black and ugly!!" Me: "I could say the same for you! ooooooh! jk"

Kajannae: "Euphs are off the chizzang fo' shizzang motherfizzang!"
Jessica: "She's got blackattude!"
Betsy: "I had a dream that Doug got chicken poisoning, went into cardiac arrest, and died. I don't even know what cardiac arrest is except that it has something do with your heart and handcuffs."
Caity: "No, Yoshi wasn't in my dream this time."
Curtis: "My dad says I was a little monkey they found under a dead stump and they cut my tail off."

Announcer Guy at Chamberlain Invitaional: "Ok folks, recieving a supieror in the bronze division is Sickles High School." Guy in background: "You skipped Fort Meyers." Announcer: "It's ok; I'll go back. Give me a second. Hmm... Now what did they win? Uhh sorry folks I forgot to mention Fort Meythers."
Mom: "I'm going to put a new wreath for Halloween. I'll hang the witch seperately." Me: "Mom! Where do you think we are? Salem, Massachusetts?"
Me as my sister pulls out in front of a semi going 60 mph on US41: "Oh cool! This is like frogger!"
Bridget: "She's in bi-ology." (pronounced bee - ology) Me: "What's that? The study of biatches?"
Jarred: "We've entered the ghetto now." Me: "Which house is yours?"
I hope you found some humor there. I guess you had to be there for some of those. Good times.
As soon as I find time, I hope to share with you a list of ways to politely call people stupid. Until then I'll be a few french fries short of a Happy Meal.
Spare Me The Emotion.
how ghetto can away messages get these days? this one is definitely not mine:
"hw IM me n ill b their"
i know i am lazy and i don't capitalize often. and a lot of the time i use short cuts like "b/c". so i'm guilty too. but i'm not that guilty am i? maybe i should start using the shift key. would that make you happy? Huh? Would it? Fine I will. From now on, I promise to try to use proper English, grammar, and typing skills. or not. No I must fight the evil voices and use capitAl lEttErS. nOOooOO! Yes my precious. ok I should stop now...
Somebody hates me. It makes me sad. I had a good long cry and now I'm ready to accept the fact that people (even myself) will always have the tendency for evil. From what I can tell, I did nothing to encite this hate against me. I think this person, who we'll call "Bob", is just a little jealous. Bob and I used to be really good friends. He has recently become jealous of my car but I really didn't think something that trival could cause such hatred to come out of his mouth. Maybe it's not jealousy. Maybe I did something wrong. How should I know? I guess I'll ask him. What else can I do?
Wow, I have tremendous sinus headache. I think I'll attempt to go to bed earlier tonight/in the morning. I'm absolutely thrilled that we didn't have band practice today. I'm getting really sick of playing our half time music. It's really gotten to the point where it's annoying. I can't believe marching season is practically over. Boy time sure does fly. But this sucks because during concert season I have to sit next to Bob. Bummer. Take me now Lord. Spare me the emotion.
*SuPeR.:.TiReD*
wow. things have been pretty tough lately. i blame band. i came home from practice last night and went right to my room with the excuse "i'm super tired." then my mom asked, "they worked you harder than usual, huh?" my response: "no. i wanted to work harder." it was true. i was a biatch to my section. i actually acted like a leader and yelled at them. i was really surprised at myself. it's not a great feeling to yell at someone, but i've only got a week or so left of it.
while we're on the topic of leadership skills, i might as well give you a synopsis of my adventures with Dream yesterday afternoon. yeah, i talked to the sixth graders. i don't know who was more scared: them or me. i guess it went well, but i'm just glad it's over. there's another twenty people in the world who can now say "euphonium" and know it's dennotation.
i've been hearing some really funny stuff lately. someday i'll get around to sharing it with you. but today is not the day my friends. thats right. i have a sectional and a three hour band practice today! oh what fun!!
Dear Lord, Thanks for letting me play my concert horn today. Amen.
Sad List:
band sucks
trumpets suck

Happy List:

law studies field trip is going to rock
highest average in stats rocks
concert music in band rocks
blink 182 mix cd rocks (literally)
Michael added three more "really"s to my "I really love Marcy" eraser and that rocks
wow it looks like they balance out pretty evenly. coolio. peace wiggers.
Petition for AP Nap!
yay for Christine writing me a note after I told her seventy times I would write her! unfortunately I left that note on a stand when we had to form our concert arc and I think some trombones might have read it.... opps. there wasn't too much of anything in it anyway - just our usual sibling/teacher bashing. (thats always fun)
i pledged not to bring a gun school today. yay for me! silly Matt. i think we should make a pledge to sleep during third and fourth periods! anybody out there wanna sign it? lol.
in stats, one example involved a survey on gun control. i tried to think of an organization that was against guns and all i could come up with was PETA. i think Chris said the same thing. i get sick to my stomach thinking about some of the animal abuse thats going on out there. think of all those poor llamas. ok now i'm drifting.
golly gee, we have band practice AGAIN. this is really starting to wear me out. physically, emotionally, musically, and academically. ah speaking of academics..... yeah i'm not doing so well. i wish i could say that grades don't matter to me. they kind of do and don't at the same time. i'm not really sure how i feel. i guess with my near perfect record it's kinda sad that i'm screwing it up. but compared to your average person, i'm doing awesome. i guess it's just that i feel i'm letting myself down by not reaching my potential. but then again i have the potential to sleep 14 hours a day and i never get the opportunity for that!
i really miss sleep. i've been going to bed a lot earlier lately. 12:30, maybe 11:50 on a good night. i'm proud of my efforts but if i get more than five or six hours of sleep then i get really really sleepy. (esp. during second period - English). in my own dreamland of Marcyville every student would be required to take AP Nap for two hours a day. this is beneficial in wasting tax dollars and helping our future citizens grow up fully developed and devoted to taking care of their health. if only... if only.
ASVABific Day
yo. today was ASVAB day! yay. it was extremely simple. except for the last two sections, which consisted of ridiculuously stupid questions concerning car and wood working crap. i have no clue what any of those answers were. i don't even think i understood those questions. the other questions were fun! here's some samples of what you underclassmen have to look forward to:
The word "use" most nearly means
a. unite
b. take advantage of
c. cure
d. help
if you guessed "B" i'd say you were born a friggen genius. if not, better luck next time. now on to the math section:
How many sides does a triangle have?
a. 4
b. 5
c. 3
d. 2
if you guessed "D" then you have selected the correct answer for a triangle only consists of two sides: the inside and the outside. lol. ok. those were actual questions though. i'm kinda glad i didn't know the automotive questions because if that thing comes back and tells me i'd make a super auto mechanic i might just have to shoot myself.
monday was club day! that totally rocked! yay for NHS moving to fourth period! now i get to miss all of calc and go to all the Mu Alpha Theta. after school I took Dream, Mere, and Vicki to Buchanan. I filmed Dream's presentation and we all played Aquarius for the middle schoolers. those sixth graders are too cute.
time to go to church. i am so thankful that we didn't have band practice tonight. we have it about everyday for the next two weeks except today and Sunday. i wonder if i get to skip practice next Wednesday because of church. knowing Dell, probably not. oh speaking of the devil, (jk) Brian wrote a lovely poem the other day dedicated to Dell. it was really mean, but yet so comical. i really enjoyed it. Dell really is trying, but he doesn't realize that we actually have school which includes real homework and studying. well actually i don't do much of either but i still need time to sleep. ahhh sleep. i wish i could take a nap right now. that would be soooo lovely. yes indeedy. ok Jesus, here I come. (no that's not a suicidal remark lol) i'm out.
my dream vacation: zzzzzz with no calculus homework
it's funny that how my last post includes a lot of things that have happened again: another tv political debate and another success story in the lunch lines. but i would now like to further address what has been going on in my mind lately. here goes nothing:
zzzzzzzzzzz....... z...z.... z?
ok well that was something at least. or rather something i wish had been going on. things have been seeming to get very busy lately. oh yeah i have to leave in 10 mins to go to my sectional and then band practice. it is so awesome being section leader because i can do, say, and play what i want, when i want. ahhh yes, want. i want a lot for myself. maybe you could say that was greed getting the best of me. but i prefer to see it as avoidance of cyncism and pessimism. at least i can say i have hope. its more than than most people have. anyways i am lazy and greedy. i am human. (sorry i know sometimes you wouldn't guess that from the majority of my blog entries)
wow i haven't written in half a month. half a month seems a lot longer than 15 days or two and a half weeks, dont you think? lol. i need a vacation. there i go again with my wants.
school wise things go from extremes. my absolute/global minimum would be calculus. i'm getting a "B" the first friggen nine weeks!! and i got a "C" on a test..... a low "C".... like "C" minus.... hehe. relative/local minimum would be AP English. it is really no fun. i don't enjoy it at all. and i don't feel like i'm learning. at all. my local max would be getting a 100% on my latest stat test. and my global max: highest grade of 100% average in law studies with the rest of the class far below. if you consider "B"s through "D"s far.
the irony of those mins and maxes: my calc test and stat test were on the same day. the night before was band practice so i decided to only study for calc. i studied over two hours. and like i mentioned before, the results: calc test - "C-" and stat test - "100%". i tried so hard to do well in calc and i tried even harder to not get my name in the top ten list for stat. why must my efforts always fail? (haha it's Marcy's Paradox. that was for all my AP stat homies)
ok time to get going to band. gotta find my shako. gee, i hate that word. band hat is so much cooler. but, we must be P.C. that reminds me of this article i read in Newsweek today. you gotta love old guys. so what do you think, am i a true curmudgeon at heart? maybe when it comes to blogging. nah. catch ya later when i can find a working computer to write another post.
