Did You Have a Happy Chrismahanukwanzakah?
It's been awhile I know. Alas, I'm not dead yet. Oh holidays I love thee with all my soul. But I save my whole heart for that special one in my life now: my loverly new iPod. Yeah Santa was generous this year. What can I say - I've been a very good girl! *wink*
So yeah I've been good. I've only gotten in trouble once so far! I slept in really really late. I could have kept going if my mom hadn't woken me up. She came in and screamed at me. I then proceeded to beg as usual for five more minutes but she said no seeing as at was 4:35... PM.... Yeah... She's over it now. My sister is currently boiling in hot water. We got her cell phone bill today. Whew! I was impressed. 2,631 minutes has to be some kind of record.
What else did I get for Christmas? The car remote! Woo! A book of brain challenges. (Yay for educational crap!!) An Xbox!!! Sweetness! I wasted one entire day of my life playing Xbox. For my first day learning the controls I think I did pretty well polishing off 3 levels of Halo and 7 levels of Indiana Jones. It's so nice to join the masses and play some real video games.
I went to three Christmas Eve Services this year. I'm churched out for a while now. I attended my first mass. Woo! We thought they were going to kick us out because we couldn't stop laughing so hard. I will say I learned a lot about the Catholic faith and I think I'll stick to what I know for now. But the change was good for me. Actually seeing statues and images of Jesus was a bit surreal. At our church there is not a single picture of Jesus anywhere. It's a lot different to pray when you can visualize who you are praying to.
Guess what? I've been going to bed late lately. Every night it gets latter and latter. First it was 4. Then 4:30. Last night it was 5. Ha. I say night but it's really morning. So tonight/this morning I will go to bed before two! I have about 11 minutes...
Went to the wedding of Christina Suter and Christopher Rexroat today. It was beautiful. I think there is something wrong with my tear ducts. I wonder what the medical term is for overactive tear ducts. I'll have to look into that. Lol. Wow, marriage. I wonder how far off that is for me. Christina is only a year or two older than me. Why do I have to get so old? You know my mom just told me she thinks I'm too juvenile for my age. Can you believe that? Ridiculous. Well if people perceive me like that then I guess it's a good thing because I don't wanna grow up. Goshdarnit. I like being young. It's really too much fun. Life's a party right?
I've been stuck inside a lot lately. It's cold. Got nowhere to go. Someone is always taking my car. And leaving the tank empty. No one wants to do anything. Except Wendi. We went to see Lemmony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events. That was a cute movie. Other than that, the wedding, and a family get together, it's been house arrest. I counted three straight days of no sunlight. I've nearly forgotten what the sky looks like. I have to keep reminding myself it's just a bunch of blue with white puffy things thrown in randomly.
I miss you Llama.
I miss you too Dreamboat.
Well one more day or at least 22 hours... This year has really flown by. Man. Bummer. Now I'm all depressed. Must.. have... cookie dough. NOO! Oh darn it's 1:59. Time to hit the publish button.
Sometimes Ignorance Rings True
My mood has been going up and down so far lately. Why God do I have to be a female teenager with raging hormones?! So much friggen drama. AHHHH! I just wanna scream and cry and jump for joy all at the same time.
I think this post will have to be shorter than usual. It's 2:30am... I went to be at 4 last night/morning. I don't think I've stayed up that late in a looooong time. Maybe ever minus sleepovers.
Softball practice was less cold. Whew! Vicki's over. Yayness! I was going to go to Dream's tomorrow to rock out. But alas, that's dead. I guess I will continue doing absolutely nothing. My llama's gone away to Michigan. Bah humbug. Could this vacation get any worse? Yes. Yes Marci it can. It is. Worse by every breath I take. I really should pray for some guidance. I need a friend.
For the one who left me many years ago:
I miss you! My God I miss you. Where are you? No one will ever replace the friendship we had. I feel so lonely these days. I think back on all those nights I spent with you and your family. I wish I could go back there. I've never been so close to anyone as I was with you. I miss having a friend. A real friend. I will never forget that time in my life. I hope you feel the same and never forget me either. One of these days I'll stop by and visit you. I hope you remember me. Thank you for being you and making me just be me. I know you will probably never read this. I should probably hit the delete key. But maybe someday (soon) you will. I'm so confused and let down. I wish you were here with me. Then I wouldn't have to be so nutty by myself. We need to have a reunion. With the whole gang. I wonder sometimes if you've changed much. Maybe I'm the one who has changed. I doubt it. I know a few more big words but that's about the extent of my change. I miss you so bad. The funny thing is... you didn't go anywhere. Neither did I. What is stopping me? Who knows? I hope after high school and college, if we ever chance to meet again, we could be best friends again. We were best friends in 4th and 5th grade and then reunited in 8th and 9th. Was it fate? I guess we will see. "We'll see..."
This song is so pretty. It makes me cry. Switchfoot - You:
There's always something in the way
There's always something getting through
But its not me
Its you
Its you
Sometimes ignorance rings true
But hope is not in what I know
Its not in me
Its in you
Its in you
[chorus]
Its all I know
Its all I know
Its all I know
I find peace when I'm confused
And I find hope when I'm let down
Not in me, me
In you
Its in you
I hope to lose myself for good
I hope to find it in the end
But not in me, me
In you
In you
[chorus]
Its all I know
Its all I know
Its all I know
In you
In you
Its in you
In you
There's always something in the way
There's always something getting through
But its not me, me
Its you
Krazy Kat
My kitty is going nuts! I think she just found a rubberband on the floor. She really misses sleeping on my stat book. I had to turn it in Monday. It was her favorite chew toy. Oh well, Santa is bringing her a brand new book in January.
Marcy's Christmas List:
1. Pony
2. Million Dollars
3. iPod
I thought throwing in the pony and the million bucks would increase my chances of getting an iPod. I guess we shall see how successful this plan really is. Ingenious isn't it?
Ahh my cat's on the keyboard. I don't know if what it is, but she's really hyper. Must be the cold air. It was really nice sleeping in and cuddling with my cat in my nice warm bed until 2:30 pm. I look forward to doing it again tomorrow. My condolences go out to all of you who had to wake up at 6:30 and go out in the cold to take exams. Life sucks for you doesn't it? I've been done with school since Tuesday except for my stupid law studies exam Friday morning. That should be a breeze. Just like my TA exam. Question #76:
If a student does not attend class, they will receive:
a. an unexcused tardy
b. an unexcused absence
c. both a and b
d. none of the above
Man that exam was tough! Whew! I hope I made an A! What really depresses me is that the two exams I am taking are the only two classes where my teachers didn't go over anything or give us reviews. That can mean two things: I'll do bad because I have no idea what will be asked of me or I'll do good because the questions are so easy a gorilla could score a 100 without a review. I bet a llama would have made a 99.9! Sometimes I wonder if God forgot to give llamas the reasoning part of their brains. JK.
Holy moo I am freezing!! You should see me sitting here typing. My fingers are numb and I'm buried in a huge hoodie! Softball practice last night was insanely chilly! I think I almost got a windburn on my face from jogging! You can definitely say that I'm not looking forward to our next practice! We actually have practice on Christmas Eve! I don't think I'm going to that one geniuses. Actually I think Mere and I are going to do a flute-guitar duet at one of our early services. Everyone out there needs to come! It's probably at 6 or 7 at Forrest Hills Presbyterian Church!!
Can you believe it - I have no homework over the break!!!! I need to practice my solo which I haven't picked. I need to read the end of Catch-22. I need to tape my scales by Friday. I need to finish college applications. I need to find some scholarships. I need to shop for Christmas presents. But that's about it. If anybody wants to get together over the break because you miss my cool self then holla bia! I think Faith is coming over tomorrow to tape scales. And Vicki should be here too! I hope she brings backgammon! OR ELSE!!!!!
Stupid school. I shall miss thee calculus. What fun. Yes doing nothing for two hours a day for the past week was fun. I love everyone in that class. We are all a bunch of nuts!
So I think I was on TV last night. Channel 8 came to 5th period! It's because we get to march in the Inaugural Parade! Oh coolness! Dream was interviewed twice: the news camera and the Tribune! Go Dreamboat! I should go look for that article. She was also featured in an article in the school paper. What ever happened to quiet Dream? Lol. I'll still vote for her for quietest band member! Woo! And Kajeannae wins the loudest by far!
Did I write about marching at Raymond James Stadium last weekend? That was a blast and a cold one at that! The stadium was huge! I wonder if this is really the last time I will get to dance to the cadences. Oh sweet memories. *sheds a tear* ok moving on...
So after two hours Friday and ten days in January I get another vacation for FOUR SCHOOL DAYS! Sweetness! If you can call freezing-my-butt-off-to-march-with-my-50 pound-horn-in-a-two-mile-parade-where-I-could-potentially-meet-my-death-from-a-terrorist,-assassin,-or-Anti-Bush-serial-killer a vacation. And don't forget the mountain of make-up work that will be waiting for me. But even so, I know this is going to be an awesome experience that not too many people ever get. Someday I'll be telling my grandchildren about it. Woo! Maybe I should just tell them to go read about it in my blog. That way I won't have to strain myself to remember this far back.
Well I think this is enough for one vacation day! More details on the awesomeness of FOW to come! Later. When my fingers thaw out a tad more. Peace out.
Cracking Under Pressure
Dec 13? WTF? What happened to November? Jimminie Crickets! Boy time flies. I have a ton to update on. This is going to take awhile. Maybe I'll just gloss over the latest happenings. Or maybe I could bore you to death with every minute detail. Hmmm.
Last weekend was Festival of Winds!! WOOO! That was a truely amazing expience! I'm so glad everyone was willing to work with me and allow me to go at the last minute! It was the most challenging and most stressful weekend of my entire life but I really feel like a better person because I have so many new expierences under my belt now.
There were so many instances which my head just hurt so bad and I wanted to shoot myself because left and right everyone expected so much from me. So much. I didn't think I could do it. But I did. Parents, friends, teachers, FOW people, Sickles people. Everyone. Every second I had I was busy rushing to meet the next deadline, get somewhere else, finish some homework, do something for someone else. Thankfully I didn't crack under all the pressure, but I seriously considered it.
It's getting late and I'm really tired so I think I'll fill you in on more stuff tomorrow. This is enough for one post. Just let me say a few quick things about today.
Today rocked! So did last Friday. So will tomorrow. I have nothing to do in any class. The two exams I do have to take are jokes: TA and Law studies. It is so nice to do nothing but goof off at school. I feel like a freshman again! I'm so freaking happy because I got my calculus test back today - 100%!!!!!! WOOOO! I think this is my first 100 on a calc test so far! I'm also thrilled because jazz band went well and our marching band was selected to march in the Presidential Inagural Parade! Things are going well for me at the moment. I wish everyone else felt the same. Oh one more good thing to add - I got my first real credit card today! No more using mommy's plastic! Now I just need some money to pay it off with! Lol! Why am I so friggen old? I don't know if this is a good thing or not... Getting old that is.
Funnies:
Kajeannae: "Jessica was asking me the names of some of the football players. I told her that I don't do names. I do faces and butts and then I match them up. You should play the Butt-face game with me sometime!"
Dream: "This chocolate tastes like unrefined pendulum."
Christine: "FOW sucks my toe."
Carrie: "There's only like four boys in your class." Shannon: "And they are all sexist! Including that one!" *points to Giberson* Giberson: "She meant to say 'and they are all sexy!'"
