This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the wonderful authors who create worlds for me to escape to. Thank you for my escapes.

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for SVU and that Olivia Benson still graces my TV screen every week.

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for Bluff City Law, an amazing new TV show that has made me cry every single episode. I am hoping and praying to see a season 2.

I’m Blamed For Everything!

Hey. Everything is my fucking fault. I’m so tired of this shit. Okay, for your sakes, I’ll back up a bit and explain why I’m so fucking pissed that I might possibly rip somebody’s fucking head off right now. Anyways, today we did our English presentations on Romanticism and Transcendentalism. We all made the powerpoint on Google Drive, but I put it together on Movie Maker (which apparently makes me liable for any fucking screw ups). So, the presentation started out good for the first two minutes, with me getting compliments on how nice it looked. Then M1 (I won’t use names) started stuttering (because apparently nobody looks over the outline I give them the night before the presentation is due!), and she gives me a dirty look when the slide changes before she’s done speaking, and is like “okay then.” My teacher tells me to slow down the slides, so I look like an idiot pausing and unpausing the presentation (and because of this none of the effects are visible!). Then, when M2 is presenting, she starts reading C’s part, so I quietly correct her, and my teacher notices this, and makes me look like an ass AND an idiot. Then C goes, and she presents horribly. After our  supposed-to-be-awesome-but-turned-out-disgusting presentation was over, C and M1 are like, “we’re mad at you,” and they say oh, the slides went too fast, you paraphrased too much, blah blah blah. First off, what the fuck C?! You didn’t even do the right work until the day before! Second, I’d like to see you make that awesome a presentation. Next, you aren’t supposed to put fucking long-ass sentences on a powerpoint, you’re supposed to fucking summarize! It’s not my fucking fault I was the only one prepared to say my part! Just shut the fuck up. Are you happy? You’ve royally pissed me off. Majorly.

Sorry for the rant, but I needed to get that out. I actually feel a lot better. Alright, bye!

P.S. Sorry for all the swearing, but I’m fucking PISSED!

First Day Back At School

Hey. Well, today marked the official end of my Christmas vacation. No frowny face, though- I’m fairly happy to be back at school, for multiple reasons. First, I think I was going to go crazy if I was stuck at home for even one more day. I don’t think my family and I were meant to be together 24/7, let me tell you! Second, I missed my friends, who I hadn’t seen since before the break. And third, I was just getting bored. Today was pretty fun, even though I was exhausted (i haven’t been sleeping very well lately). I brought my laptop and tested to see if I could take notes without getting distracted, and so far, so good! I took amazing notes in Religion, plus I used my online Geometry book without distraction. Alright, I’m going to go play some games before my half hour of free time is up. Sorry for the short post. Maybe if I finish my homework I’ll post a longer one. Bye!

The Before High School Me

Before high school, I was a loner, with a few good friends and that was it. I was bullied and teased, along with my best friend. I wanted to get out of the school I was in, because I could trace all of my problems back to there. I was miserable most of the time. Now, I actually like school, and I hate to be absent. Like I am now. I went home sick, but that’s for the next post. Anyways, now I have a lot of friends, and I’m happy as can be mostly. I am LOVING life right now, and can’t wait to not be sick anymore. Is it weird that I like school? Bye!

My Week

Hey. So, this vacation was really good. It got started early in the week, when we went bowling and had icecream sundaes one night. Then, on Thursday, we went swimming (inside, of course), and then we went to eat at Red Robin (YUM!!), and after that I slept at a friend’s house. Friday, I just chilled at my friend’s house, so it was pretty relaxing. Also, on Friday night, my friend’s brother, who’s also my friend, slept at my house. We played a lot of Halo and COD (I won a lot at Halo, COD not so much, I don’t play it a lot). He went home on Saturday, so I got to relax a bit before Monster Jam (monster trucks) on Sunday. My whole family went, as well as the two brothers and their dad. My little 4-year-old brother A.J. actually fell asleep in the middle of it! Can you imagine! Monster trucks roaring, and he’s just sleeping the day away. It was crazy. Anyways, that’s my week in a nutshell. Pretty fun. So, bye for now!
