Last day of 2005! I'd say it was a fairly good year! But first, what I did today. I got a new cell phone. Dad took my old one and I got the ... this one. The ringtones are just terrible, but that's the only problem I have with it so far. Just trying to get use to it. Dad and I then went and saw King Kong, which was amazing! The whole bug thing, ahhh, I hate bugs so I was just squirming all around lol. And the jaw thing, ahh gross. Great great great movie Peter Jackson! I got gas for my car and then we came home. Had some dinner and now I'm at home without any plans. Like every other year. It was the first year for me to not lose any pieces of blog! Now that is quite a first. I'm looking back at some resolutions I posted on January of this year. I think I did fairly well. In February I met Elijah Wood and Sean Astin, and also got my class ring which I love. haha, in March I rocked out to the Josh Groban concert. In April, there was Prom and we had a field trip to the D-Day museum which marked the last time I spent a day in New Orleans. In May, finished Junior year, (makes it exciting because that means only senior is left). In June, last time to visit NO at the airport with Jessica & the start of my last high school summer. In July, I went to Alaska, and it was my first cruise. In August, started senior year and there was Katrina. In September, turned 18 and the only thing I've done is to register to vote, lol. In October, you know, I'm going to classify this month as the month I became friends with Michael. And I really don't think you visit it this often, but know that I'm glad it did happen and thanks and I love you dearly. In November, went to St. Louis which was very good. In December, well it's now and ending and a lot happened and it's still a nice close to the year. Only 23 movies seen this year. 260 blogs and HAPPY NEW YEAR! (and I hope to God I can be in NYC for New Years next year) But yay, 2006! The year I graduate, the year I've been waiting for for years! And this will be it, to drop about 95% of my contact down here in LA. And I'm still okay with it. Vicki, I've got the GPA, a 3.77 over all, which is pretty good. But my ACT and SAT hurt me. Maggie, I might just try BC after all. We'll see! 11:59PM

Finally went over my essays today. Reminds me of a bad book report. lol, as in I'm having to fix a lot of it. And back in the day when I had to do book reports every month, there were a fair few that were absolute killers and mom made me want to cry. Ooo, terrrible. We reminisced a few days ago over some, lol. And my grammar sucks. You've probably noticed from here. Stupid Louisiana. I do blame it partially for that. Decided against Boston College and University on account my scores aren't high enough. So oh well. Maybe I'll find another in a day or two. So I only have 4, Fordham, UVM, Northeastern, and VA Tech & State Univ. So if anyone knows anything about these, or as any amount of input, share please. Maine page is half way done, if I don't screw it up again. It's not the same, but I guess I'll live with it. Oh yes, how could I forget, I got a lovely lovely email from Johanneke today; asking about how I did one of my blends. It's the 6th tutorial in the You section. I really do miss my blends, but I am happy to say that one of my favorite blend sites has reopened and I hope to participate again sometime soon! 10:15PM

(later) OMG MAGGIE COMMENTED! It's been ages. 12:22ofthenextdaybutshhh
--Still fairly pissed at the fact that I overwrote that Maine page. I just couldn't bring myself to do it again last night, so I'll give it a go now. I know it won't be the same, but I'll try to make it somewhat okay now. Ran lots of errands today with my mom. I drove the new car today. Pretty close to mine, because whadayaknow it's Honda. (I have an accord) College, right, nixed out University of Washington: Seattle and University of Massachusetts: Amherst because both don't have the major I thought they have. Which is Finance. So that was nice to know that that is two applications I don't have to worry about anymore. But I might instead add more in there, like Boston College or University, maybe, just the first 2 that are coming to mind lol. Worked a bit on VA Polytechnic Institute & State University today too. If any of you visiting this site go there or know anything about these places, please share your thoughts either in the comments or email me. Alright, I'm going to start that page now. I will not be stupid this time. 9:44PM

(laterx4) Well oddly enough I got 2 IMs but nothing about the Maine page. oooo this sucksss. 11:56PM
(laterx3) Yeahhh no one was looking at that page but me it seems. Everyone is too busy looking at my fucking Adrien Brody scans. I can't believe I did that. I was just starting the digital page and copied the bit and pasted I thought in the new page, but no and saved it to see if the pictures work. Tried going back after realizing what I've done. Can't.... omgfuck. There is nothing left but to start over and I was so so proud about that page. I wrote it like I never had before. Like how I described it. I can't believe I did that. Not even saved anywhere. omg. This is terrible. I honestly feel like just putting the pictures up and saying here make up your own damn story. omg. This is breaking my heart and it's a webpage. I am pathetic. But omg, agonyyyy. 11:51PM
(laterx2) omg omg omg I just completely overwrote and saved the Maine page. omg. After all of my hard work. Omg. Fuck. Anyone have it open now? IM me now at bbrrooaaddwwaayy and keep it open. I could throw up I'm soo upset over this. omg fuck. 11:40PM
(later) I hope you love it. The Maine page that is. 11:25PM
--Woke up, took a shower, the back is doing much better today! Was quite quite stiff this morning, but by now I feel like I could take more jumping pictures! ...but I won't. I'll give it a few days lol. But really, doing lots better so yay. Still can't really bend, but I can sit on the ground unlike yesterday lol. Ran to the bank and CC's. Came home, turned around and went to pick the new car. Tis a Honda Pilot for my mom. It's pretty and has XM radio. Kick ass. After two hours of that, we came home and I did more applications. Northeastern is looking good, and Fordham is just about at the same status. Pretty sure UVM is too, and now I can move on to my other 3. Hehhhh... Saw Narnia with Michael. Twas a really good movie. Better than I thought. I've heard nothing but good things, but I don't think I would have seen it on my own time. I liked it a lot though. Had some dinner when I came home and now I'm thinking about what needs to be done so I can at least one Maine page. I'll see if I can do it tonight. 11:07PM

Hello! Believe it or not, I'm considering to keep Scanned opened. I know I'm nuts and you probably knew this would happen all along. I find it cool that Adrien Brody has the most hits now, you know, due to King Kong. Which I still need to see, damn. So many things I want to do and no time to do it within the time of break! Which leads me to my college applications .... honestly I love them because they are going to take me out of this state. But the process and making sure everything is there is complicated. Well, not too complicated, but it's a lot. Especially when you are applying to 6 schools at once! And before a deadline of Jan 15 *gulp* heh. Worked and still am working on Northeastern today. Oh, wow, I've got a whole ...11 sectences without mentioning my back so far! Not bad. Well, status is, is that it is still killing me, but I've adjusted to the pain where I'm not complaining every 5 seconds. Now, it's about every 38.43 seconds. Give or take a point. But yeah, I still feel old like this. Didn't have to slide out of bed. But I tried to sit on the ground. The way it went was I tried to squat down, but my thighs are very very sore too, so it just ended up me collapsing which did more damage than attempting to just sit in a chair. Idiot Marielle, right here. Um, what else. Got a Christmas card from Astraea, it's lovely. Also got one from Lauren, lovely too. Still need to get mine out. Heh. Oh, status on the Maine page. Have decided to split up the my prints from the digital ones. Got over 200 digital. Mostly of me acting stupid in front of the camera. I'm serious. I saw looking back at pictures from age 2-5 I would totally work the camera. Which I was I did. Because it's me. Can't explain it more then that lol. But, this attitude is coming back out and shows in the digital pics. You'll have a good laugh. 11:13PM

Late post today because I'm working on my Maine page. Still not ready yet. Making good progress though. I just need to add digital pics to it and it will be done. Doesn't sound like much, but mm fair amount to do. But first let me get off by bitching and complaining that OMG my back is killing me!!! It's from doing those damn jumps and hand stands last night. I had to slide out of bed today and can barely walk, sit, stand, move in general! without hurting!! I feel so old right now. I can't stand feeling any remote bit of pain and this is just annoying and I don't want to take anything anyway. Because I don't like to. I'm weird. Whatever. I've tried to sneeze twice, but I like stop in the middle of it because my body hurts, it's really odd! But ahhh it hurts!!! Never again. Or at least to not do it 65 times. Ouch. Painnn. Ouch. Okay. Focus. oooo. Okay. Ouch... Okay. Woke up (ouch), got dressed (ouch), went to Wal-Mart to get what I needed yesterday (hurt to get in and out of car and when I turned and when I hit bumps, omg ouch). Um worked on my essay for Forham (just kidding on a possible ouch). Um. Hmm. I don't know. Parents went out to get a new car for my mom. They came back with a demo, the real thing comes home tomorrow. Not sure if I like it, because it's dark. ... Hello. Can't see. We went to dinner in it. Interstate hurt my back. Going over speed bumps in a parking lot; 4 of them, maybe 5. Ouch. Wow. Ouch. Came home and I've been working on the Maine stuff since. And the dog had to go in and out a million times and she knows I can't bend (oh yes she does, lol) to let her out. Ouch. This is ridiculous!!! And ohhh, important here: I've got my old stats back for this website that I haven't had for a very long time. And I've known this, but really realize it now, closing Scanned is really going to hurt me isn't it? Yeah. I get lots of hits with that. And you guys like to look at my blends the most? I'm shocked, didn't think it was that. But go for it! Sorry that I haven't done any in like a year. And I know, I still need to do that Hal Sparks wallpaper, but hey I've got a few already done at least. Could be nothing! But thank you everyone for the hits and the visits and the add to your favorites. I appreciate it. There are times when I don't think anyone comes because hardly anyone comments. No one has recently. But seeing the stats like I have, puts it all back into ... perspective? Probably the wrong word, but thanks for visiting! See, I could be serious without mentioning my back. .. ouch. ... hehe :D (P.S. I'm in a really good writing mood for the Maine page so I want everyone to check it out when it is done. I like how it's coming out. Standard, but lots of detail, or well more than what I usually say.) 11:47PM

Let's see, woke up and took a shower. Had a drink for breakfast and I put away my gifts, which were 2 belts, lots of clothes and some perfume and a purse and those 2 CDs. Worked on applications today, for Fordham and University of Vermont. Will write the essays for those tomorrow. I went over to Jamie's house for like 35 minutes to drop off her present and she gave me a nice picture frame with an awesome picture inside of it. From when Amber and she took me out for my birthday. Can't remember if I ever put a picture of from that. Maybe I'll do that another day. Well, later tonight my mother made a feast and a fruit cup. lol. That's new. Had some wine. Not too great. And so I got in the mood to take some pictures of me jumping. So I did. And here are the results: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] And after some thinking, I'll close scanned after the first of the year. So get your hotlinking urges out because nothing will be there to hotlink from there after. 10:26PM

(later) We went to eat at Gino's. It's what we normally do. It wasn't as crowded as usual, but I love it sooo much. Best Italian anywhere in this state. We came home and evenutally went to the small tree and everyone opened cards and the parents opened my gifts. And Lexi, hers. Then that was it. Have a wonderful night and morning everyone. 10:25PM
--Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it. And Happy Holidays to those who don't. :D Not much going on so far. Nick came over and picked up his iPod that finally came. Called Jamie to wish her a Happy Birthday, same to you Kay if you read this! Was trying to get Jamie a present, but we're having issues trying to meet up. So it'll probably just happen tomorrow. I scanned in my printed pictures, but haven't gotten to cropping/editing them yet. I'm considering on closing scanned. It's been nice to do it for people, but I am soo behind and I doubt I'll ever catch up. Let alone continue since I'll be off away from home (and my scanner) for college. So. Think I just might. Here's a picture of our tree. Pretty awesome. 3:54PM

Okay, so it's actually 12:48, I didn't think it was this late. So I'm just going to lie on the date. So what. I went to the mall today. It took me an hour to get there. ... omg did I have road rage. oh wow lol. Some stupid people out there. When I did go to it, I parked a mile away but ah well. I went to Gadzooks and got myself some things and something for Jamie, a birthday present. Thought I should give something since she treated me to dinner. Wanted to. Then oh I went to Hallmark before that. After the 2nd store I went to Dillards and bought a purse. It. is. awesome. I love it. I got something for my mom and then met up with Colleen. I thought I had seen her on the road earlier, so I asked for her plate number, but no wasn't her. But turns out she was going to the mall, so we decided to meet up. Did so and we walked around. Went into a few stores, not really finding anything. But we did go into one and she got something for her mom while I found something for dad. So yay, done. Ah and nice and cute guy at the register, might have to go back. ah hah. :) lol Um. Right, she went to my car with me. Lost it for a second and then found it. Drove around to where she was parked and each drove to Best Buy. Her attempt to find something for her dad, but not a thing. I ended up getting two CDs: Jack's Mannequin and Nightmare of You. Check Nightmare of You out. Now. I love them so and only discovered them a few days ago. And I got a camera battery. Whoot. I went home, the interstate way, and it's scary because I get clasutophobic since it's under construction. The barriers you know. Scary. But I really didn't feel like dealing with traffic. So yeah, came home. Fixed an earring that somehow broken since the time of purchase until just then. For Jamie, but was an easy fix. Had dinner and mom wanted to watch Love Actually. So we did. Only I did through the last half. Watched the end of Forrest Gump, made me cry. Yes. It did. Then watched this thing on jellyfish. Killer jellyfish. Scary stuff. Some people got stung and the girl was later like writhing in pain. I do the exact same thing when I hurt that badly. It was weird to see that. Could totally picture myself doing the exact same thing. When I hurt, I just keep moving and grabbing my head. I saw myself is what I'm trying to get across. And now I'm here. And guess what: my legs hurt. Which means I'm growing. I'll take that pain any day. Oh crap, keep forgetting to mention this: I put up the Christmas tree two days ago. Well, the 22nd. But... it's definitely only 3 feet tall. And I used Mardi Gras beads. And the 'stem' is so tightly wound with lights, it's the biggest fire hazard you've ever seen. And I pulled it out of the closet in oh about two seconds. After I stuck the support legs on, twas ready to go. It's pathetic, but I put a star on top as I had one. I'll take a picture. Yeah. You'll be jealous of it's kick ass ness. 12:59AM or well ... 11:59PM

Don't have the pictures ready yet. Infact, I haven't even scanned the prints. There's like ... 70 and I can only do 2 at a time. But, how long did it even take me to do the Alaska, where that set had like 180. *cringes* Eesh. Today was my first day of slaving over college applications. Trying to figure out what I need to do, and to apply to where. Complicated. Numero uno priority at this moment. Later though, I watched Love Actually. I love that movie. The other night I was going to watch That Thing You Do, because we talked about it at dinner, but apparently I don't have it. Or couldn't find it. 11:27PM

Alright so I'm back and the trip was as good as it could be. It was nice to see everyone again and maybe I'll get some pictures up in the next few days. The site went a little off due to a server change and now everything is fine. We got home yesterday and picked up the dog. Then let's see today. I went to the doctor with my mom. That took forever! Dropped off my 4 rolls of film at Sam's, because the place I usually go to has the same machine as Sam's, but it's more expensive, so why not go cheaper, lol. Was an hour process, so we had lunch at Chili's. Yum. Picked them back up and then I went to register to vote. That's pretty exciting. lol, but I spelt my first name wrong. Went: Mariellk. ... opps. Mom, you distracted me! That's what I'm saying anyway. (Kate is middle name) which would usually come after first. That was easy and then ... went to the post office. Which reminds me I still need to write my small number of Christmas cards. Vicki, I'm sending you one too. Came home and ahaha, oh right! I made a picture of myself. Here's the link. Love doing those. Vicki, *hugs* thank you, you're too kind.

Arrived to school for my final exam today, Calc. Before Rebecca gave me a baked goods present. That was so sweet and cheered me up nicely. Quite unexpected. We've had 7th hour together for 3 years now, and it's finally breaking with the end of this semester. Well, the non calculator part of the test was great, but I really screwed up the calculator part something awful. Aferwards I went to the photo room and left a note for my teacher. Really hope she got it too. Walked back to the parking lot and said bye to a few people and went home. Oh, my favorite pair of jeans got splashed with chemicals somehow, from the darkroom. Wouldn't care, but they're my favorite. :( I really can't remember from then until now. Had lunch and everything and was busy. But I'll say tomorrow. I'll cut this short for now, and pick up tomorrow. 10:59PM

Alright, let's see. Got to sleep in for a little while before going to school. I had the 2nd exam of the morning. But I arrived 20 minutes before it so that I could take a trip to the darkroom and pick up my pictures. I did just that and walked back and sat down for a while waiting for the time to pass. Then went up to where I was to be. Room was locked, but it was finally opened. It was my English room from last year and some of us went to our original seats which was interesting on how that played out. I did. Naturally too, it was cool. I felt that the test went pretty well. I was having internet issues this morning so I couldn't go over my terms like I had planned. It might have hurt me, but oh well. Afterwards I met up with Julie, Tori, Lauren and her brother at Subway. Then went to Bryan's house to study some Calc with him, Julie, and Lauren. Jessica showed up a little half way through it. I was there for a good 2 hours I'd say. I came home around 3:30 and did some more. Later went to Wal-Mart and did some more studying. I feel pretty good about what it'd be on and everything like that. Final exam tomorrow and then I'm off through the 2nd, yay. 10:20PM

Um. Going for a quick and simple update today. ... Went to school and went to the office quickly to find out where I was to take my Astronomy test. Ended up taking it in the office and after about 15 minutes I was finished with it. Got a C. woohoo. ... Raced home and got my college list and came back to school and talked it over with my school's college person. We narrowed it down to about 6-7. I think that's good. Then I went to my 2nd exam, Stats. And you know, I think it went pretty well. I felt really good going into and about it afterwards. So hey you never know, may actually pull off with a B. We were let out about 20 minutes early since some of us were done. That was really nice. I then went to the darkroom and printed from about 11:40-1:40. It was nice to be alone like that and I got a contact sheet done along with 5 other printed pictures. Which is a lot. I then got lunch and came home. Went to the grocery store with my mom and attempted to do some studying for English. I can't really get into it though. I feel ready for it too so it should be fine. Okay, that's enough. Think I'll just get in bed and listen to the iPod now. Vicki, thank you, I printed that one today too. Turned out well. That sounds good for me as well. 10:10PM

(laterx2) Woohoo, I think I'm done with studying today. Finally. It was a beast. I also watched the finale to the Amazing Race and happy for the people who won. They were the ones I wanted to win anyway. A new season is coming in February and I'm happy to see that they will be leaving the continent. lol. Sure, that'll be it for today. Two exams tomorrow, might go to the darkroom to make a contact sheet and maybe print a picture or two. Shouldn't take long. Then, get food, do English and yeah. 10:01PM
(later) So um. Astronomy took a whole lot longer than I expected. I'm taking a break now, almost over. And I made the page for the new photography pictures. Only 17 of 24 have been put up. 4:50PM
--I actually had a rather enjoyable time outside taking pictures from 11-12 Sunday night. It was cold, but with the layers on and moving around in front of the camera, it worked out nicely and I finished the roll. The next morning I woke up pretty late. Monday was a dead day, so we mostly reviewed in every class. I rushed to Photo so I could prepare my film and then I processed it and finished that just as the bell rang. It takes a while to do and I didn't know if I would make it in time. Went to Burger King with Jen and oh she gave me a Christmas present. :) That was nice. A Sonic gift card, definately will use that. I haven't bought on present for anyone else. I haven't even written Christmas cards. It feels like this holiday all of a sudden showed up and ah I'm not ready for it yet. Found out I don't have to take my Astronomy exam Tues which is excellent because I wasn't ready. So instead I'll take it on Wed. And I didn't have to make up that lab in Chem Lab. Pretty happy about that! So that class is finally over and now I'll be in World Literature Survey when I go back to school in the new year. It's an English/Reading class to help prep you for the English AP test. Ah crap I just remembered I have to read a book over the holiday. [note to self: buy it] Um. Right! After school I came home and worked on my Astronomy study guide. Pretty sure I did. I feel like I must have done something else before hand though. Maybe not. Anyway, later that night I went to Wal-Mart with Michael and he got the DVD of the tv show NewsRadio. Watched 4 episodes and came home. Woke up today and went to school to pick up my film. Turned out nicely, no problems with it. Then went to the office and bought tickets to The Music Man, our school production in Feb some time. I got some lunch even though it was only 10:30 lol and came home. Scanned in my negatives and oooo I like many from this roll. Some turned out really really well. I should hope to print at home over the holiday some time too. Except I need to buy paper and chemicals and paper and gah costly. Been working on Astronomy and now just taking a small break to come in here. So, I'll get back to it now. 1:35PM

(later) Coming back in for a complaint. Well, this first thing isn't. Didn't get emotional over Grey's Anatomy, but at the end they have a few of the cast laying under a Christmas tree looking up. I've done that before. Nice and peaceful just starring. But here is my problem: I was so distracted by doing Astronomy that I completely forgot about finishing my roll (has 22 pictures left) for photography that I have to process tomorrow! GAH. So I'm going to go out now and see if I can take something in the dark with a flashlight. Just randomly trying to come up with an idea. And then I'll probably be waking up very early before I go to school to finish it off. Crap. 10:55PM
--Finally was able to sleep in today. Amazing. Can't see getting much sleep this week though. Bleh. Anyway, pretty much slaved over work all day today. From World Geo to Astronomy. I should be having the Astronomy exam on Tuesday, but when and even if I have to go to school to take it, I have no clue! But I did find my favorite Christmas song by someone who was hotlinking me, lol. And then I found it on the internet to download and now I shall share. From the movie Love Actually and I think I'll watch that some time soon, when time permits. So not for a while. Hah. Anyway. What else. Well, back to Grey's Anatomy. Love that show. Helps me get out a small cry weekly too. Which I've found to be rather ... releasing. Yeah. Anyone else here watch that show? Vicki, thank you! Um, I'm not sure, hm what else did he say... lol, I think he made me too uncomfortable to remember. But yes, dodgy indeed. 9:12PM

Woke up bright and early and froze outside. Went back to sleep and got up at the regular time. Finished Hamlet in English. Good stuff. Now my goal is to reread the entire play before the exam. Heh. Wow, lots to cover. Eh, got one my tests back in Stats. The last one I took. Well, I thought I might had done well. We were told beforehand that there were a few A's, no B's and the rest were lower. No hopes for me making an A, so one of the lower ones. And turns out I got another damn C, a 75. If I get a B in the class, I will be truely amazed. As my last few tests have been a 73 and a 76. That kicks my ass at every test. Called my mom in Photo to try to get something delivered to me that I forgot at home. After many phone calls, finally got it. Oh, how could I have forgotten to mention this so far: I had been having a migraine up to this point since yseterday afternoon. I was soo miserable at school today. Felt so dizzy and sick and sensitvie to light. It was terrible, but I had to be there. Instead of going to lunch, we had this NHS induction that we had to attend. I don't remember much of it. Think I was a little out of it then. I was going to dress up nicer but I felt so bad I just didn't care anymore. Was going to change into a different shirt and put on high heels and wear my hair down and then attempt to have my purse and all match the brown, but really really really didn't give a shit anymore. lol. Took a test in Astronomy and had some cake and dr. pepper. Yum. That was my lunch. Wrapped pictures in Study Hall for Photo. Worked on a lab report in Chem Lab. Went home and I don't remember. Oh, did some more Astronomy and I don't know. Oh, now here's something. I helped Nick get an iPod. We're getting it for him and he's going to pay us back. That took some time actually. I don't know, but somehow it's already 10:36. My head still hurts, but not as bad as earlier. One more week of school = fantastic news. 10:37PM

(later) To continue today: Well in Chem Lab, we went to the computer lab and it was soo hot in there, omg. So today was just getting cooler and cooler as the day went on. So once that class was over, I went outside to my car and it felt wonderful. So cool. It was probably low 40s, but ah felt so refreshing. But in minutes I was freezing my ass off again. lol. So after school I had this math tutoring thing where I would go teach some Jr. High kids. I had 3 boys, and I wanted to smack them. So terrible. Wouldn't pay attention until I found out my method of coming up with problems for them to work on and they finally did what they needed to do. lol. There's a tip for anyone in the future who is in that same situation. You never know. I left and on the way home I remembered I needed to take a trip to Wal-Mart to buy some cookies or some that I could bake for NHS tomorrow. I turn around and make my way to the store. I get some and drive home. I then bake 3 batches of cookies, more than enough I'm just about positive. I then do work and have just finished some more Astronomy. But ... it's cloudy out tonight. And I need one more viewing experience. Soo, looks like it will be mostly cloudy at 4 and partly cloudy at 5, so looks like I'm waking up very early tomorrow to try to get some more time in. It's just too bad it's going to be about 24-25 degrees outside. Eesh. And I did write down the rest on the board so here we go: Sam is listening to breathtaking music and sporting gorgeous white headphones. Tori has a neat scarf on; it is fantastic. Erik is eating a delicious orange and it is juicy. Rachel has on a pink/coral jacket and it is beautiful and exquisite. Momo (teacher) has curly hair today; it is voluptuous. Julie has on a candy cane shirt; it is amazing. Duger (Bryan) has on chuck taylor's and they are clean and fabulous. Marielle is desplaying a spectacular studded belt. (Guess I'll just have to take a picture of this belt then) Amber is wearing a hairy scarf and it is fluffy and pretty. Carl carries lunches in a very manly manner. Where did the week go? 10:06PM
--So wow. Feeling better today. I've got some time in my Astronomy so I thought I'd come in here and post something more .. something. Not like yesterdays. So I've figured throwing myself into work or just being places like school takes a lot off my mind, as like a distraction. I'll take that. So today so far... I guess I have to try right now to think about what has happened. Well, we saw Billy Crystal's part in Hamlet today, so we're almost done with the movie. Oh right, in Stats, we got a list of what we should know for this test. I thought it was never going to end. These past few days we've been having tea in Photo because it's cold in there, and outside when the weather is nice, like now actually. Had some today and went inside a smaller room in the darkroom to stand next to Amber as she loaded her film in the canister to process. Then everyone just sat around and talked. Actually, quote of the day came from this class. It's hardly quote of the day material but I'll put it there anyway. Basically everyone in the room has some sentence of that sort about them on the board. If they are still there in Study Hall, I'll write them down. Jen cracked a bone in her foot so she's on crutches now. We went to Wendy's and then lots of people showed up too. Julie, Bryan, Lauren, and Tori, then the next group: Jamie, Amber, Nick, and Carl. So luckily we got there first and got ours orders fairly quickly. Good lunch. And now I'm in Astronomy listening to my iPod as I do this. This is just about the only class I use it in, sometimes in Study Hall. I've finished my work for Astronomy except for this project thing. Crap, this is my last night to look at the stars. I really hope it's a clear night tonight then. It hasn't been since Monday. Blah, I have to do that all tonight, good thing I thought of it. So I know this isn't that interesting, but it's all I have to talk about right now and I wanted it to help pass the time. I've got 10 minutes left. Vicki, thank you very much *hugs back* I was rather upset yesterday and am feeling better but like I said, I've been distracted. But I do believe it is just a better day today. And to comment on the comment previously: why thank you again :) 1:12PM

... So going from a really good day yesterday to an absolutely crappy and upsetting day today. *sigh* So early update today because I know I wouldn't do it later. School was school. I don't know how Stats went. If I get a C again on a test, I don't know what the fuck I'll do. Shit I feelt bad. I know I'll regret even posting this tomorrow. Felt helpful in Study Hall today though. On the account of helping my teacher there understand Hamlet for reasons I don't feel like explaining now. Had bowling and did really well despite my attitude. Got a 136, 144, then my hand started to hurt so a 118, then 101. Came home and wanted to stop by here before I go slave over homework that I can't get, be upset at the fact I forgot to tape The Office last night, and be so tempted just to crawl into bed to hide under the covers, using them to block things out. You know, I had three bad dreams last night. At least scary ones at that. W.t.f. . 5:54PM

Well I didn't get sick from the sauce which is excellent. I was kind of worried; it just smelt horrible last night. Yuck. Been finding it rather difficult to wake up for school so after this blog I'm heading to bed. We've been watching this version of Hamlet in English. I find it to be pretty good. And odd enough, a fair amount of Harry Potter actors are in it. Nifty thing. Have a Stats test tomorrow, last time for the quarter to do well to hopefully pull up my grade. The content isn't too bad this time, it's just that I'm nervous because this will be it and I have to do well. I really don't know how it will go. Gah. Have to have a roll of film done for tomorrow, not going to happen. Still have to make up a lab and then dammit there's just enough hours in a day!!! After school I had tennis. It was cold outside, but had lots of layers on and felt fine actually. We did a match or set or whatever the technical word it is. But we did doubles, I was paired with Jamie, as she picked me, whoot!! And... we won! Oh hells yes. Nice ego boost. Lots of fun too. I thought we were only to do a total of 8 games, but no first group to 8 and that was us. Played 13 total. Intense I tell you. The coach kept commenting on me too which is awesome. :) And yay, it's going really well. And I told Marvin I loved him. lol, he was our soccer coach last year and he's across the little road there doing soccer. I came home for about two seconds and turned back around and out the door to go pick up Rachel. What for? Well to go to another school to do math problems of course! lol. Well, yes I'm in the math club because 1 yeah I like math because I can do it. (except statistics apparently lol) and 2 I went because I haven't been to the meetings because something else had always come up to make me miss. So I thought I should show up, and so we went. We were late due to a traffic accident on the way. Rebecca was there so we had a nice time losing. Ah well. lol. Out of 20 possible points I got 0. hahaha. I couldn't think for a number of reasons, oh well. Got stuck in the same traffic trying to bring Rachel home. Then I got some dinner, ate, and did homework. I also saw my moms foot. .... omgsogross. It's yellow from the cleaning stuff they use and then it's swollen so it makes it worse and the stiches ahh no thanks. Think we should take a picture, but I guess I'll have to next time and hey, maybe post it here! I bet everyone would like that. Okay, well time to go to sleep now. 10:15PM

The weather is just crazy I tell you. Sweating yesterday with a high in the low 80s and now barely a high of 50. Insane. I saw our pictures that we took from Saturday. They were pretty good I suppose. It's a nice thing what we're doing. There's a second class that gets the babies and they have them this week, or finishing up this week at least. These new babies have two levels of crying, normal and then a screaming/howling version. The second listed isn't heard that often unless you drop it or hit it hard. Well, we wanted to hear this sound in Chem Lab and one that was being rocked just started doing this noise. ooo it was terrible but soo funny. Then after school I stayed probably the latest ever, just talking to Jen and then Jonathan joined us. I had dance tonight also. I had remembered to tall Jamie and Jen to bring a hat, so we could practice the dance with one, and as I was driving I remembered I didn't even have mine! Ack. Had to turn around and go get it. It was kinda hard to work with too, and my hair kept getting in my face. Cool stuff though. I then went to drop someting off at the cleaners and came home. I went outside to freeze and do Astronomy at the same time. You know, if you really take a closer look and with binoculars, there are tons of stars out there. I mean sure, hello, I know this. But I've never taken a look like that before. I think I saw a shooting star too. We had dinner and the spaghetti sauce tasted and smelt terrible. It was like vinegar. oo yuck. None of us could finish it. And the smell has traveled through out the house and so we have a candle lit in the kitchen and I sprayed some perfume in my own room. It was so nasty, oh wow. lol. Gross. Vicki, ah it was so scary. :D Hey, you too!! 9:43PM

Just as I had gotten out of the shower this morning, Amber called me and we were to have lunch and this was also so I could see her new car. She picked me up and pretty much the whole way there was spent talking about it. Such a change from her old car. We had Calendar's which was very filling. She dropped me back off and then I just have been working on World Geo since. I really want to finish this course up and be done with it. And I've finally just finished lessons 7 and 8. And have to go up to 12. Almost there. But ahhh. We had a terrible thunderstorm tonight and I had to go out in to get dinner. I was freaking out and I couldn't see a thing. So scary. I tell you, that incident over the summer did mess me up considerably. That's it for now. I know I still haven't done that wallpaper, I'm sorry. 10:56PM

Slept later than what I had planned, as I apparently turned off my alarm sometime during the 2nd or so snooze round, lol. Woke up though at 7:50, hurried into the shower and got ready but figured out I had lots of time and called Amber to see what we should do. She's getting a new car, which is shocking because her car has taken a beating, lol, and she's picking it up so we can't ride together, but instead decide to just have her follow me. I leave and meet up at her house around 10 and she follows me off to the downtown area. We are to be going to a shelter downtown and take photographs for the people there, as a photography project that Photo 2 does every year around this time. I didn't have any problems, but almost got off on an exit one too soon, but went back on the lines and onto the interstate again lol. Got off at the right one, but passed up the next street, but luckily the final one wasn't a one way. So we got there! It wasn't very busy, which is in a way is good you know. So I end up probably taking the most from my 2nd shift group, I did 3 or 4 people, about a roll's worth of film I'd say. We were able to leave early, around 11:30 and I try to lead Amber and Jennifer, a different one than I usually mention on here, back to the interstate. But my b, I pull out when they can't follow, but no problems so it's okay. I pick up lunch at Sonic and come home. Bond with mom, do impossible math homework and listen to music and sleep a little. Now here I am, and still have lots to do. I really need to read Hamlet but I just don't want to. Oh well. And of course, I was planning on doing some of this Astronomy project where I have to go look outside for a while, but it's cloudy! Crapola. Vicki, thank you, I need this grade to be good. :) thanks again! lol, well I'd say, as far as I know, that only 3 people know about this site at my school. 2 use to visit rather frequently, but not anymore. I tried to tell others and gave them the url when I first started out at brinkster, but they didn't want any part of it, lol. Which in the end I'm glad of now. I don't think people at my school would be interested in reading this anyway if they knew about it. As what I mention is what happens and they probably wouldn't find it that great because. So, I've just decided to keep quiet about it. I do it for the online friends, and as to meet more!! :D 8:42PM

(later) Forgot it was Friday by the end of the day, so once I did remember it was a nice surprise. Had a Stats test, oh plese let me do well. I need to do so. Came home for lunch to see my mother, as she had foot surgery today. Went well so yay. Had the incident below in Astronomy. The of course I decide to not to check email in the morning! lol. I guess we'll see what happens. Did a journal for Photo in Study Hall. Instead of going to the office to copy a picture I decided to draw it, and Tori copied the idea, pshh lol. It was only a little sketch that I did, but ah it felt good to draw something. I should do more, but it's hard for me to just sit down and do something like that. Went through some old old pictures on my computer tonight and decided I miss the 'stripe.' Circa 07/2003. 9:42PM
--Um. Shit. Hi, hello. This is Marielle and if you go to my school, yes you are really viewing this. This might mean nothing and maybe no one saw the comment, but if you did and decided to follow the url listed in one comment, well you found this then. I've deleted it because I don't want people to know about this. There's nothing to hide as I mention nothing that could potentially get me in 'trouble' but if you now see this, let someone else find if for themselves. You'll take the fun out of it. Now for those who don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I have a myspace and I recently added someone I use to know through the internet. Kay. And she didn't know I didn't want it mentioned so I'm not blaming her and maybe no one even saw it or even understood what it meant. Anyway, she mentioned this url and now I'm very very very curious if anyone saw it and went to it, here. And if you did by chance, could you let me know please? I'm just wondering. Good thing is the page counter things says only like 4-5 views occured over night until this point. So maybe the 2 who commented, Jamee and Kay, no problem. But the other view people? Eh crap. So this post at the moment will just concern this and I'll make another one later. I knew I should have checked the computer this morning. 1:09PM

Wow! December! Where has this year gone!? I mean really! Seems like New Years was just a few weeks ago. Incredible. So here's my problem, I miss one day in Stats and I'm lost and confused and screwed. Basically. Gah, that class is a beast. I'd drop it, but I don't feel like finding something to replace it and I know I should just continue anyway. Went with Rachel to lunch as we had an NHS meeting. Oh the weather was a little crazy today too. Bright and sunny and it last until 5th hour, then it became cloudy and rained. Then bright again, and then back to cloudy. So different. I like it cloudy though. In Chem Lab, we had to count drop by drop of stuff we were adding to other stuff. That was fun, lol, some lasted up to 200 drops. Yeah. One by one, lol. Came home and did lots and lots of work. Always fun I tell you. 11 more days of school and I'm off. Whoot. Oh and sometime soon I'll get around to fixing the coding on the comment thing. Or maybe I'll do it now. But I can't miss that Oprah and David thing tonight. Yep, I'm going to watch that. And tape it for my mother. 10:29PM
