Those Japanese Love Their Fish Over There in Africa

Hello people!

The title of this blog is a paraphrased quote from Britney Spears; it’s one of the Top 40 Dumbest Celebrity Quotes from VH1. That show was hilarious. Loves it.

I got up at 2 PM today. It was wonderful. Then I dove straight into a Daily Show/Colbert Report marathon (only three hours, but that’s okay) and they were HILARIOUS! Carole King was on the Colbert Report and she’s awesome and pretty funny, I must say. Ya know, I can’t get over how fun it is to be a fangirl, lol.

I’ve been on a fanfic kick yet again since I found a great community that is CONSTANTLY updating, which is the BOMBINEST, and there are some fantastically amazering fics on thur. AND I’ve been on a Supernatural kick, so I watched the first (pilot) and second episodes of the first season, which I’ve never seen before (I started half-way through the second season). That was really fun. And there are some great Sam/Dean moments, which make me smile. XD

Men in Trees was awesome, though I’m a tad worried bout Annie goin out with that douchebag of a hockey player. And I *HATE* Selia (sp?) for being such a bitch, even though Dick is way too clingy and dorkish. Still, she doesn’t have to be SO fucking MEAN all the time, jeez.

Eli Stone was GREAT! Gotta love fanboy!Victor Garber for George Michael, lol. Just plain adorkable. And he sings SO WELL! Just more reasons to fucking love Mr. Garbert…though, not in a gah-he’s-so-cute kinda way, more in the way I love Paul Giamatti. Although, were I Mr. Garber’s age, I’d totally date him, LOL.

For some reason, my damn pictures won’t upload on Facebook, so I’m just gonna try again tomorrow. I hope they work, I want everyone to see ‘em!

Well, not much happened today since I got up so late, so I’m off to bed. Tomorrow’s the first day back after Spring Break and it is gonna *pause* S – U – C – K – SUCK. Oh, well. At least I get some coffee tomorrow morning, which I’m desperately in the mood for. X]

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

I’ve Seen the Colbert Portrait; My Trip is Complete

Hello people!

Mkay, I’d like to remind everyone that this post is SATURDAY, MARCH 29TH’S blog post. Expect another one later for TODAY’s events. So, I’ll be writing this post as if it were Saturday. Just to emphasize my point here, I’ll write this post in quotes.

“Getting up this morning was hard. I got up at 7:57 and check-out was 8:30. No probs, though, cuz I packed pretty much everything the night before. When I got downstairs, I desperately wanted some coffee, so I went to the Starbucks trolley next to the seats in the lobby and got a frappucino. Twas pretty good.

Anywho, everyone that hadn’t nabbed the 8:00 shuttle to the airport was sitting in the lobby, chatting. I sat among them, but I didn’t really talk to anybody; I just chilled and drank my coffee. I waited for mom and dad to come get me at 9:30. It seemed to take longer than I thought it would. But they finally came and got me and we went to the Spy City Cafe which was a part of the International Spy Museum. The food wasn’t very good, but oh well.

So, then we walked around a bit cuz we bought tickets to tour the International Spy Museum and it wasn’t til noon, so we had about an hour. When it was finally 12:00, we went to the museum and bopped around thur. It was BITCHIN. You had to pick a cover (or alternate identity) and answer questions about it on the computers scattered about. It was pretty cooly. Following the tour, we went to the store they had there and pulled a ‘tourist’ and bought a bunch of shit we didn’t need, but whatevs. ;]

After that, we went to …*pause for dramatic effect*…the National Portrait Gallery! GAH! I was flipping out for, like, an hour, lol. We walked in and there was a man behind the lobby counter at the front where, I assume, many people ask for directions. We went up to the guy and my mom was like, ‘Excuse me, sir, but where is the Stephen Colbert portrait?’ My dad said, ‘She’s a huge Colbert fan, so that’s why we’re here.’ *he pointed to me when he said ’she’* The guy started laughing and replied, ‘Ever since January, we get that question ALL THE TIME.’ I burst out laughing and my parents were like, ‘Yeah, I bet.’ I found it quite amusing and was not at all surprised.

Anywho, the guy pointed us in the right direction and we headed upstairs to the second floor by the bathrooms (which I kinda already knew was where it was, but whatevs, lol). There was a (thankfully, short) line in front of the portrait (which is in the bathrooms hallway, of course, just above the water fountain). I waited for about a minute, maybe two, and then I was up. I took five pics; three of just the portrait, two with myself. I wanted to stay for hours and take millions more, but the line was building up and my parents wanted us to go, lol. So we bopped around a little (in the Presidents area and some nature spot down the hall), then we left.

And then we drove home. It was fine, but it took a REALLY long time. I mean, in retrospect, we actually made great time, but it FELT like a hell of a lot of time. Grawr. So, yeah.

If you wanna see D.C. pics, go to my Facebook in about two-ish hours and they’ll be up there.” So that was my blog for yesterday, Saturday, March 29th. Remember, you’ve got a second blog coming up in an hour or less.

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

You’re Mentally and Physically Retarded

Hello people!

I’M BAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Aren’t you THRILLED?! I know you are. ;]

Okay, I wrote a blog everyday that I was in D.C., but I couldn’t post ‘em, so I’m gonna put them all under cuts and you can read them at your leisure. I’ll be posting today’s blog tomorrow; I’m exhausted and am desperate for sleep, lol. So look for two blogs tomorrow; one for Saturday, one for Sunday.

Title: Say Hi to Stephen’s Book for Me!
Entry: Hello readers!Well, today was the first day at Presidential Classroom. My parents drove me to Washington, D.C. (that was fun) and we got there at, like, 12:30-ish. Registration was at 2:00. So we chilled and ate some late lunch together in the food court.

Then my parents took me to register, where we got cooly name-tag thingies that came on awesome necklacey strings. And we got bags that said Presidential Classroom and we got assigned rooms.

OMG, I first got assigned room 247, which is at the end of the hall on the second floor. The key didn’t work in the door, so my dad went downstairs and got it fixed. Then we tried it in the door. Turns out, that room was taken – it was a GUYS COUNSELORS room. So, it was wrong squared.

We went back downstairs, got assigned the correct room (237), and headed inside. I was the first one there. Which means I got a bed *YAY ME*. My rents waited with me for a while and we watched a little “Mrs. Doubtfire” which was on ABC Family today. I started to cry after a bit and I just couldn’t stop. I really didn’t want my parents to leave me. But eventually, they did, and I sat alone for a while.

Actually, I was alone for, like, an hour, and then this girl from Hong Kong (I believe her name is Adrian [sp?]) came in and claimed the second bed. She was SUPER nice, as was her friend So Jung, so that was good.

And then Erica came in about an hour later and she was really nice, too. She invited me to hang with her group of friends (who’d somehow all were attending PC, too), so that was good. We chilled and watched TV for a while and then headed down to eat dinner. Then, we saw a bunch of kids just registering at 6:30 (and registration ended at 6:00), and we were a tad worried that we’d have a fourth roommate.

Unfortunately, we did. We headed back upstairs and there was a girl from Honduras sitting on my bed (that sounds like the lead-in to a bad porno). She was texting on her phone and had all her shit on MY bed. Now, I’m very touchy and have some space issues and can’t sleep with another person in the same bed as me. *shudders*

There were two air mattresses provided for those of us that DIDN’T get beds. So, naturally, the Honduras girl would get an air mattress. But she wanted to sleep in my bed. She didn’t speak English very well, so it was hard explaining to her that she couldn’t sleep in my bed, but eventually, I finally did, lol.

So Erica and the Honduras girl (sorry, dunno her name) are on air mattresses and Adrian and I are on the regular beds. I’m glad Honduras (that’s her name now, lol) is cool now, but she still speaks shit English and I can hardly understand her AND I still dunno her name, so that makes talking to her difficult.

We went to a seminar where they told us the rules, even though we already HAD all the rules, and then we were divided into two groups – Caucus A and Caucus B. I was in B. I headed to the conference room I was sposed to be in and helped this really cute guy figure out where he was sposed to go (turns out, he was in my Caucus…YAY).

We were paired off with buddies, which is essentially our check and balance for keeping track of each other and whatnot during the week. I got a really nice girl, Katia, and she’s got the room right next door, so that’s cool. :]

Apparently, the Caucus groups had to do projects throughout the week. So, we were divided into two groups; one that focused on the energy problem in America, and one that focused on the immigration problem in America. I got the energy prob, which is cooly, I guess. I’m not really passionate about either subject, so I’m neutral to both.

THEN, from THOSE groups, we were divided into two MORE groups; Democrats and Republicans. I’m in the Democrat group! YAY! XD So we didn’t really do anything but succeed in wasting a shit-load of time, lol.

I gotta get to bed, we’re getting up at 6:30 AM, which SUCKS, ‘specially since we’ve got such a busy fucking day tomorrow, but oh well. That’s what you get when you go to Washington, D.C. X] I’m just stoked for Wednesday; that’s CONGRESS DAY! I get to meet Sherrod Brown! HE RULES!

Oh, and this blog’s title is something my mom said to me today. She saw Stephen Colbert’s book, “I Am America (And So Can You!)” in the storefront of the school book store here at Georgia University (is that what it’s called? …I think so…), and she was like, “Look! It’s Steve!” And then, when she left, she texted me and said, “Say hi to Steve (the book) for me!” I thought it was cute and funny, lol.

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Title: Ahh, Yes, But Can You NAME The Buildings?
Entry: Hello readers!

Today was crazy.

We had a seminar with Brad Deutsche, who worked for the FEC (Federal Election Committee). I thought it would be boring, but it was actually pretty interesting. I wish I’d been more awake when he was giving the seminar, cuz I wanna remember everything he said. But sadly, I don’t recall much.

Then, we headed to the Einstein Memorial and took a photo there, and then we went to just in front of Capitol Hill (on those white steps you sometimes see in movies where CH is in the background) and took the group photo there. Then we went to lunch in Union Station…that was kinda lame.

Um, then we went to the RNC (Republican National Committee) to listen to someone ramble on about stupid Republican shit. OMG, I hated her. She was so bitchy. And she avoided answering the questions we asked (as Reps typically do). And I was recording her speech on my shit camcorder to show my rents when I get home, and she was like, “No filming, put that away.” :O

I can understand her being a bitch if I was flipping her off or something, lol, but I was just recording what she was saying. I don’t see why it was such a big deal. That only cooly part of that stupid meeting thing was that she had huge pics of George W. Bush and Dick(head) Cheney, so a bunch of us took them and swore to draw all over them. I’m gonna write “A Big Dick is Watching You” on the poster and tape it to my window in my bedroom when I get home, LOL!

Then we went to Jefferson Memorial and took some pics there and then we came back to the hotel and chilled for 15 minutes. Then the second seminar took place, and David Wasserman was the presenter; he works for The Cook Political Report, which is on TV, the radio, and in print. But it’s $300 to subscribe, so I can’t do that. XD

His presentation was SUPER interesting, AND he mentioned Stephen Colbert twice! I was like, “HELLS FUCKIN YEAH!” …but I thought that, I didn’t say it, lol. But yeah, it was really awesome. And I asked him a question; “Which do you think is more influential on the voters: Obama’s racial factor or Hillary’s gender factor?” And he replied that Obama’s racial factor is, apparently, more influential because he’s leading over Hillary.

When the whole thing was done, he stayed after dismissal and we could go talk to him. I immediately went over to him and shook his hand. I told him that I loved his seminar and that I’m a huge Colbert fan, so I really had a great time, and he was real polite and nice about it and said thanks and whatnot. So, yeah, that was fantastic.

I dunno if I mentioned this yesterday, but we’re getting a seminar from Ralph Nader tomorrow! I’m SO STOKED for that! I’m gonna get his autograph and *maybe* give him my WristStrong bracelet. I’m not sure yet, but I might…although, it would totally suck to not have mine…I dunno…

And then we did our first crossfire session, which was fun; we discussed the powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branch. We got into a mini-debate on the war, which was SUPER fun for me, lol. I’m totally lookin forward to tomorrow’s; it’s all about separation of church and state. But I don’t wanna offend any of my friends here, who happen to be extremely religious Christians (from the South).

I ate a bagel and cream cheese tonight for dinner cuz the tacos looked REALLY nasty. But s’okay, I love bagels and cream cheese. I dunno what I’m gonna eat tomorrow. Maybe another bagel and cream cheese. Oh, I had McDonald’s chicken nuggets and a Haagen Dazs milkshake for lunch, and I drank an AWESOME bottled frappucino for breakfast. But I swear, there’s no good food here. Thankfully, mom said she’s gonna make me my fave meal when I get home! Mexican meatloaf! HELLS YEAH!

Um, so then we did caucus meetings, which was kinda blah, but whatevs. And then we had student lounge time, so I chatted to my rents, took a shower, and then got ready for bed and now I’m writing this blog. I am tired and am gonna go to bed soon.

I’m on the verge of fucking KILLING someone right now. That Honduras girl (named Lucia) had a cot brought in, cuz apparently she’s too good for an air mattress. Some woman (I believe she was French and she was a counselor for PC) wheeled in the cot/mattress thing on this giant red metal base.

The woman suggested we fucking rotate sleeping in the beds. I was like, “Um…no. I think the people that got here first deserve the beds. We all had an equal chance to get here on time. Those of us that got here first should have the beds.” And she said that that’s not fair to everyone. Well fuck everyone else! I got here first, I should have the bed.

That may sound kinda rude, but I’m very much against sleeping in the same bed as people I don’t know. Or sleeping in this bed, and then sleeping in someone else’s bed. GROSS!

So, anywho, I replied to the woman’s comment that it’s not fair by saying, “It kinda is. If I had gotten here last I would happily sleep on the air mattress without complaint.” And the woman insisted that that’s not fair. It’s PERFECTLY fair. It’s not my fucking problem that Lucia got here late! She should’ve gotten here on fucking time!

She’s fucking talking to a fellow PC-er on the hotel room’s phone, so we have to listen to her crazy-ass convo in whatever the fuck language she’s speaking, and it’s 11:30! I wanna go to bed! GAH!

*breathes* I’ve never wanted to read deliciously naughty Jon/Stephen fics more in my life. I need something that’s gonna cheer me up, LOL. And that would do it. X]

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Title: This Isn’t Fiction, You’re Not Listening to Bush or Cheney
Entry: Hello readers!

GAH! Today was Ralph Nader day! But I’ll address that in just a bit. So…

This morning we went to the Department of State. DULLARIFIC. Surrsly, so freaking boring, I almost fell asleep a bunch of times, lol. Then we went to the Old Post Office Pavilion. I thought it was fun; I got a deliciously awesome hot dog, some fries, a Diet Coke, and I browsed the shops. I even bought stuff; an FBI sweatshirt, an FBI beanie, a CIA pin, a stuffed eagle (who I named STEAGLE COLBEAGLE THE EAGLE, duh, lol), and a totally bitchin “swing” type of hat (like what they wore during the times of swing music and whatnot).

Then, after that, we went to see a movie made by a college student (19 years old, yo!) called, “18 in 08.” It was about the youth of today going out and voting in the upcoming election (which EVERYONE should do). I thought it would be dull, but it was actually pretty fun. I liked it a lot. And then the guy that made it said that he went to high schools around the nation, so if we wanted him to come to ours, we could take his card and email him or call him about coming to our school. I totally took a card and am totally gonna invite him to come talk to Darby. The kids there need the motivation to vote.

Okay, so then, we had dinner and whatever, and after that, we had the RALPH NADER SEMINAR. It was amazering. There are not enough words to describe how cooly it was. I mean, he was intelligent, funny, entertaining, and just really interesting. He wasn’t dull like I kinda expected him to be. And I got to ask him a question! I asked him if he thought his repeated entry into the Presidential race de-sensitized the nation to his ideas, and he replied (MAJOR PARAPHRASING), “No, my candidacy informs the nation even more about the Green Party issues and how much of a radical media and energy source change we need in today’s society.”

After that, we got to buy his book, “The Good Fight” and get an autograph and a picture. Unfortunately, both he and we (as a whole group) were hard-pressed for time, so we couldn’t talk to him much, which I really wanted to do. But at least I got his autograph and a picture with him. That was cooly. X]

Oh, and the title of this post is a quote from his speech during his seminar. It was HILARIOUS. I could not stop laughing, but I guess the whole right side of the room was Republican, cuz none of them laughed. The left side (my side), though, totally did.

Then we did Caucus meetings, and really, that was just whatever. OH! We had a Crossfire today that asked if we have Freedom of Speech in today’s society and if there’s a separation of church and state. It was SO MUCH FUN. We had a *huge* debate on it and it got kinda intense (specially since half the room was Christian [*awkward*]) but I still think it was really fun. Plus, I got to inject information from my Expository Writing research paper (which was all about the separation of church and state)! So, yay me!

I chatted with Adrian and Erica (roomies) about traveling and the culture in Japan and Hong Kong and whatnot, and that was pretty interesting. I think Japan and China sound like totally fun places. I think I’ll go sometime in the future. And New Zealand. It sounds pretty, lol. Adrian went there a few weeks ago and told us about it. So, yeah.

So, tomorrow’s the Senate Meeting day at Capitol Hill. I’m a tad worried, cuz we have to split off by ourselves for about four-ish hours, so that sucks. But I think it’ll be fun, anyway. Although, another suckish thing is that my Representatives and Senators aren’t even here, cuz they’re kinda on they’re own “Spring Break” right now, so I don’t even get to meet Sherrod Brown, who I was TOTALLY lookin forward to meeting. He seems really cooly, so it sucks that I don’t get to meet him. But I do get to talk to his staff, so I guess that’s better than nothing. L

Well, I gotta get up SUPER early tomorrow, so I should go to sleep.

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Title: Crack My Coconut, Tim
Entry: Hello readers!

Today we went to Capitol Hill! We sat on the Senate floor and listened to some woman tell us all about what they do and how she got there and blah, blah, blah. It was pretty boring and I had trouble staying awake, but OMG, the building was beautiful beyond description. Surrsly, it was amazing. I wish we could’ve taken pics, but electronics of any kind were prohibited (gah).

Then we all separated to go to our Representatives and Senators meetings. I hung out with Savannah (a really smart girl from Boulder, Colorado) cuz she and I had our first appointments at the same time and in the same building. We had about an hour before we had to go to our first meeting, so we went to a café about two minutes from the first building and she got a muffin and black tea, and I got a bottle of Nestea Ice Tea.

So, then we headed out to our first meeting and I almost got lost. Silly me. I was to meet up with Deborah Pryce’s staff, but she’s a total bitch, so I didn’t really care bout meeting her staff. But, whatevs. I listened to this guy talk bout what they do and yadda, yadda. Then I thanked him and went to the next meeting. Unfortunately, the map PC gave us was really kinda CRAPPY, so I wasn’t really all that sure of where to go. But, finally, after running down a couple streets, I found the building I was looking for.

The guy there, who was a staffee for Senator Voinovich, was hilarious and very nice. I liked him a lot. So, then I went over to the next building for the next meeting, which was with staffers who worked for Sherrod Brown (who’s AWESOME). I told the staff that I was there for a meeting, then they told me that the other four Ohio kids (who I didn’t know and wasn’t traveling with) had already come in at 11:00 that morning (while I was at the second meeting) and the people I was sposed to meet with had scheduled other appointments. So I had to leave the office and bop around the basement where they have a Senate office store.

I got some cooly stuffs there, and then met up with Hali and Nora (the former from Louisiana, the latter from California) and we had lunch together. Hali had another meeting to go to, but Nora and I were done, so we went to a couple of stores and then to Starbucks, and I got the best frappucino I’ve ever gotten from them. It was DELICIOUS.

Nora and I slowly walked back to the bus stop and took pics along the way; the scenery here is really beautiful. I wanted to go to the Library of Congress, but we didn’t have enough time. Oh, well, I spose.

Next was sposed to be Freedom Park, but that was relocated to the Newseum, which hasn’t been opened yet, so we went to the Iwo Jima (actually, it’s Iwo Doe, now) memorial and took some pics of that for bout half an hour. Then we went back to the hotel, chilled a bit, had a seminar where we got to listen to and applaud our instructors, and then we watched this movie about Patrick Kennedy running for Congress against Kevin Vigilante. Kennedy did totally asshole-ish things and ran a bunch of untruthful, negative ads, and Vigilante remained honest and friendly the whole time, and he STILL lost. I felt so bad for him, and Kennedy was/is a douche bag…they all are, really.

Oh, prior to that, we had our last Crossfire. We discussed the roles of political parties in today’s elections and society and whatnot. That was pretty fun. So, later, we had a Caucus meeting, but we were trying to cram all the work we were sposed to get done in the past two days into that one hour of work time that we were given tonight, LOL. It was hard, and I really kinda did nothing cuz it confused me, but the group is amazering and they got it done. And I took a lotta pics.

Steve Rawson from Oregon (AKA Nancy Pelosi, in our group, lol) was talking to someone, and I randomly took their pic, mid-convo, and he jokingly chased after me and then tackled me to the ground and tickled me! It was kinda weird, lol, but funny.

Kay, so after taking a bunch of pics of the group just for fun, we all were dismissed and are now chilling in the room. Tomorrow, we can sleep in an extra hour, so YAY. X] And we’re doing touring and shopping, so tomorrow should be pretty fun!

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Title: Our Caucus is Now Officially The Big Dick Caucus
Entry: Hello readers!

I woke up from a fantastic dream this morning. I dreamt that I was leaning against the stairs in school, looking all depressed (and feeling depressed, lol), and the guy I have a crush on walked past me. He put his hand on mine in a comforting manner and asked if I was okay. I said no, I’m not okay, and he offered me a hug and soup. Reflecting on that, the soup thing is kinda weird, but oh well. I thanked him, but denied and said that I’d already had some soup earlier.

So, we skip ahead to me being at his house, and I open the door and go to his stove and there’s soup sitting on the stove-top. And there’s a bowl next to it and it was just for me, lol, so I dished up some soup (even though I kinda hate soup) and then my crush was right at the table behind me. And he was like, “You feelin better?” and I was like, “Yeah, thanks for the soup.” And then I woke up. I know. I’m weird.

So, anywho, we had a seminar with this religious campaign advisor lady, and it was okay, but I don’t like that she kinda blurred the line between the separation of church and state. But someone asked her about that and she wouldn’t admit it. That bugged me, too. And then we had a Caucus meeting and it was just random and fun; we pretty much just told people about ourselves. I told everyone that I had a tattoo and that my parents convinced me to get it and everyone was flippin out, so it was pretty funny and cooly, lol.

Then, we had another seminar with this BET campaign rep guy, I think his name was Jeff Johnson. He was AWESOME. He was a great speaker, really interesting, and hilarious, too, so it was a great seminar. Then we ate some lunch and then we presented our Caucus group projects, and they SUCKED NOODLES. Our resolution bill failed. Gah.

Next, we changed into casual clothes and headed out to the Air Force Memorial thingy. That was pretty cooly; the statues and marble walls were nice. And then we went to the Pentagon City Mall. THAT WAS GREAT! That place has FOUR levels! Sadly, we didn’t get to go to every store (in fact, we barely went to any stores) and we only had two hours.

I am not a dress girl, so I didn’t pack one for the dance tomorrow, but I re-thought that and decided to try to find a cheap dress in the mall that I could buy. Unfortunately for me, there’s no Wal*Mart there, lol, so everything I saw was, like, $200. RIDICULOUS. So, later, my friend Nora suggested I just find a nice shirt to wear with some black pants, which I already have, so I thought that was a great idea. I found a decent shirt on sale and that was that.

We left the mall and went to the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Korean War Memorial, and to just in front of the White House for a photo. That was cooly, but it was dark for most of those, so the pics we all took came out blurry and just not good. *tears*

Then we came back to watch a movie about the Arlington Cemetery (is that the proper title?), which was insanely depressing. Um, and then we went back to our rooms and chilled. I talked a lot with Adrian, who is bitchin, btw, about just totally random stuff for, like, two hours. So that was fun. And now everyone’s asleep, so I think I’ll join them.

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Title: Chris Cobb is a Dirty, Dirty Whore
Entry: Hello readers!

So it goes that today, Friday, March 28^th, 2008, is the last day of Presidential Classroom. Sadness beyond belief, really. I’m not crying, and I haven’t all day, but, surprisingly (to myself, anyway), I don’t wanna leave yet.

Real quick, this morning, after our seminar, we officially elected ourselves Caucus A, instead of Caucus 2. Caucus A is just less derogatory, LOL. And I nicknamed us the “Big Dick” Caucus cuz we always have the poster of the Big Dick himself, VP Cheney, in the back window of the bus, lol.

And, the title of this post is because of Chris Cobb, himself. Fellow PC-er, he’s a local celebrity among us and yesterday, Caucus A convinced him to say that was a dirty, dirty whore, lol. I just thought it was hilarious. X]

This morning was okay; we started with a Caucus meeting. We had to come up with Civic Action Plans (CAP) for our towns/cities that we live in. It was fun chatting with my group of friends and laughing with them, but MAKING the CAP was lame.

So, then we headed to a seminar by Marines; Sgt. Daniel Valenti (he was CUTE), Sgt. Keith Klein, and Sgt. Carlos Robayo. At least, I think that’s right. The Presidential Daily says there were four guys, but only three came, and I only know for sure Sgt. Robayo and Sgt. Valenti, so yeah. Anywho…

They were a LOT more entertaining than I thought they would be. I didn’t have much interest in the Marines, so I thought the seminar would suck, but Sgt. Valenti was freaking hilarious, and it was just a really fantastic seminar.

Sgt. Valenti looked and sounded a HELL of a LOT like Dean, from Supernatural. I mean, his facial expressions and his voice were just so much like Dean, I was blown away by it. I desperately wanted to ask him if he’s ever seen Supernatural, but he had to leave before I had a chance to, which made me sad. Oh, well.

Then we went to the Smithsonian. Can I get a *WHOOT WHOOT*?! Just kidding. Anywho, it was pretty cooly thur. We started in the Air and Space Museum, which was INSANELY lame. So, my friend Nora and I headed over to the Natural History Museum. That place was awesome. We saw the mammals exhibit and then we went to the gemstones exhibit and saw the Hope Diamond (which really isn’t as amazing as I thought it would be).

Then we had some lunch (super expensive, really not that good) and went to the Origins of Western Culture exhibit. That had a bunch of Egyptian stuff in it, which I *LOVE*, so that was pretty cooly. I got a good amount of pics, so yay!

We had to get back to the Air and Space Museum to catch the bus, so we headed back and that was that. We only had two hours at the Smithsonian and I really don’t think that was enough time. I didn’t get to see the dinosaurs exhibit which I *desperately* wanted to see, so that bummed me out.

At about 2:00 PM, we headed out to the Arlington National Cemetery and walked (UPHILL) to the JFK memorial and the eternal flame. It was pretty cooly, but you had to be absolutely silent whilst there, and the guard there yelled at us for whispering.

So, next we walked up to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. That was okay. We watched the Changing of the Guard ceremony twice (dull), and then the Army Wreath Laying thrice (the last one was the cooliest, cuz it was a wrath with a sash-type thing that said “Presidential Classroom” – yay us!). Then we left.

It was shockingly hot yesterday. Like, upper 60’s kinda hot. That may not sound too bad, but if you’re wearing a black suit with a black blazer that you HAVE to wear and you’re trudging through a cemetery UPHILL, it’s pretty fucking hot, lol. As most of you know, I don’t do any exercise, cuz I hate exercise, so walking through the cemetery was pretty difficult for me, lol. Plus, I was already pretty tired as it is.

Then we came back to the hotel and changed into clothes for the dance and banquet and we packed our stuff as much as we could. The banquet was okay. The food was kinda suckish, but the closing speeches by Chris Cobb (local celebrity among us and future President…and dirty, dirty whore) and Ian…something…(highly opinionated [in favor of the Democrats - WHOO!] and awesomely cooly) were really great.

Next, we had a closing Caucus meeting. Lola and Anthony (our instructors) were great. They made us laugh and gave us our certificates of graduation, along with CD’s of a pic slideshow made specially for us, PC-ers, a PC pin, and Lola’s card (so we could keep in touch with her). I will really miss them; they’re pure awesome.

Then we went to the dance. GAH! Twas so fun! I didn’t think it would be, but it really, REALLY was. We didn’t have any slow songs, every single one was a dance song. And the DJ played “Love Shack,” “Tonto! Jump On It,” and “Shout!” That stuffs made me happy. I love those songs (specially “Tonto! Jump On It!”). So, yay!

The night finished with our goodbyes and we hugged everyone we knew. That was kinda depressing. But it was fun seeing everyone one last time before going back to our rooms. I took a shower, then Erica took one, then Honduras girl.

And so ends the final day of Presidential Classroom. I loved it and am considering doing it again next year (they’re doing a special Inauguration version in January and we get to go to the actual inaugural ceremony, so, that’d be pretty cooly). I’ll be home tomorrow! WHOO!

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Thanks, Oh Wise Voice in My Head

Hello people!

I’ve been watching some eps of Red VS Blue, which are HILARIOUS! I’m sad that Church got blown up, but I’m glad he came back as a ghost! XD

Anywho, I played Kingdom Hearts with my bro today. We didn’t get very far, but I love that game, so it’s okay. I wish I could go back to the time when it was totally new to us and the storyline was intringuingly awesome. It’s still, BY FAR, one of the best plots and game-plays I’ve EVER seen in a game. I’m considering getting a Sora tattoo later. I’m gonna have to draw one up if I can, though.

I had to pack today and it’s really hard to pack suits in a giant suitcase, lol. I’m still trying to think of everything I gotta bring, but I think I’ve got it all…I just can’t help but feel like I’m forgetting something *cliche*.

I have two new story ideas, but I can’t work on ‘em til I get back. Grawr. Well, I guess I could hand-write ‘em, but that’s just not as fun as typing.

OMG! I went to Adam’s house to record our video for German. We only got the first of four parts done (shocking, I know). Michael had to leave for work, so we couldn’t do anything else. So, I get home and ask Nick if I can use his Mac cuz that’s what my camera has to use, and we try, and it won’t fucking work! I dunno what I’m gonna do if it doesn’t work on the computer in the living room. *shakes head* Just another goddamn thing to worry about.

I got a new shirt, a Hot Wheels, and The Mask on DVD today for Easter (since I won’t be thur tomorrow). And candy, of course. Oh, I got the eggs out to make an egg sandwich for dinner, then one egg accidentally rolled off the counter, and I instinctively leaned against the cabinet to stop the egg from falling and I squished it…against my new shirt…and my jeans. *GAH* I’m so stupid sometimes, lol.

Well, I prolly won’t be able to update until Sunday, March 30th. I’ll try my best to blog while I’m there, but I highly doubt I’ll be able to, lol. So, I apologize one million plus one times. Thanks for being such great readers! I’ll post something special, as well as a report on my week in Washington, when I get back. So, I love you guys, and I hope you have great weeks! *HUGS*

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

He’s Ancient, He’s Ugly, I Dunno Which is Worse

Hello people!

“The Nightmare Before Christmas” has got to be one of the best movies ever made. It’s scary, it’s sad, and it’s totally weird, but god, I love it. The songs are great, and I just wanna *hug* Jack when he’s all sad. And cheese, Danny Elfman has a wonderful voice! He should release a CD or something, I’d totally buy it.

Ya know, though, there are a LOT of sexual undertones in it. Especially with Oogie Boogie. I’ve heard that’s common with Disney movies, though, so yeah, lol! XD

Anywho, my wrist is killing me. I have no idea why, but holy fuck it hurts. It’s like I have to pop it (that sounds weird), but I can’t, and it’s driving me nuts. I hope it stops soon, cuz it would suck to have freakish pain in D.C.

Today was fun! I went with mom and dad to Olive Garden for lunch, and that was DELICIOUS! We got the usual – salad, breadsticks, chicken fingers – and twas good as it always is. After that, we went to Wal*Mart and got everything I’m gonna need for the trip – casual pants, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, etc. – as well as some extra stuff.

Then we made the pilgrimage to Barnes and Noble, which was SO MUCH FUN! I love that place. It’s, like, Heaven, LOL! We got some coffee and read some books and I got Jurassic Park and a STEPHEN COLBERT BAG ($13). And then we headed off to KAY Jewelers to get a new back for my earring, cuz I lost my old one. Guess what? We spent, like, an hour in there and ended up buying two rings.

My mom got one which my dad purchased for her, but it’s on layaway for May 10th when it’ll be on sale, and mom’s fine with that. And then they got me one that’s BEAUTIFUL, but my mom doesn’t want me to have it til a “special day” and I just know she’s gonna lose it. :X But oh, well.

GAH, I found a GREAT “Supernatural” community today. With awesome fanfics. Full of smutty goodness. XD Can’t help myself, lol, I love my fandoms. Speaking of, I saw an icon of an episode of “Supernatural” where Dean and Sam had the same tattoo; a pentacle with flame-ish-type-things around it. I want that. That’s how I can make my pentacle look totally awesome, and that’s what I’m gonna get…uh, eventually.

LA Ink was okay, but Holy Moo, surrsly, Pixie needs to apologize, and she thinks everyone’s all angry with her and that she was treated like shit and she shouldn’t have to say she’s sorry! I mean, COME ON, of COURSE she does! *grawr*

Eli Stone was good last night, too, but I’m sad that the earthquake didn’t happen, cuz now everyone thinks he’s insane, and it sucks. But HAHA, the vision he had with Maggie and his ex-bitch was HILARIOUS! “I feel the earth, MOVE, under my feet!” LOVE that song.

OH! And Reaper! It was great! Michael Ian Black is a new demon on there! And his character is gay! AND HE RULES! So I’m super excited for next week’s episode!

I got my DVR installed today! But, JEEZ, my dad woke me up at 9:08 AM, and said I had 20 mins before the guys would get there to install the DVR. I laid in bed for, like, 10 mins, and then got up, and TWO MINUTES later, the guys came right in my room! I didn’t even have time to change my clothes! It was…slightly embarassing. But then I had some coffee, so that made me happy.

I’m really nervous about making the German video tomorrow – I still have to write my part and I really dunno how well it’s gonna go…I don’t know what the hell to wear as a “costume” and I don’t really think we’re gonna do a good job, lol. I mean, goodness knows how bad Adam is with German stuff, lol, and I have a feeling we’re just gonna joke a lot and he’s gonna set something on fire and we’re not gonna get done. *shakes head*

I gotta get up at 9:00 AM tomorrow to boil potatoes for my potato salad. Gah. And then I’ve gotta pack. And then I’ve gotta try to get some of The Daily Shows and The Colbert Reports off the DVR in the living room. And then it’s the video thing. And then family time. And then sleep. *facepalm*

I’m gonna go read some fanfics to relax me (or not) before I go to bed. X] Oh, and btw, I was in the local paper “This Week” yesterday. If you get it, check out the article. Tis cooly. I might post it online, just for the hell of it, LOL.

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Of What One Cannot Speak, of That One Must Keep Silent

Hello people!

There are not enough words in the English language (or any other language on the planet, for that matter) to describe how much I despise Report Card day. I want it to die a miserable and painful death and never exist again.

I have always believed we should do away with homework, not just because I hate it (which I do), but also because very few people actually do their own work. A lot of the people I know copy off each other and use SparkNotes and anything else they can to not have to do their work, myself included. 

I also think tests should be done away with because for some people (and I’m one of them), taking a test automatically means “you gotta get this shit done in this amount of time or you lose.” I’ve never been very good with test-taking; I don’t think it measures my abilities, I think it measures my memory and how fast I can get something done, which is stupid.

My grades today were as follows:
Algebra 2….C+
Honors Chemistry….C-
AP Euro History….C
German 4….A-
Brit Lit….B+
Creative Writing….A

Obviously, the first three are terrible. Rightfully so, I was reprimanded for each, respectively. I don’t believe that a B+ is worth reprimanding, but my parents apparently do. They have implemented a new law; during the week, I’m not allowed to get online or watch TV until 8:00 PM (with the exception of Jeopardy), and if my homework isn’t done by 8:00, then I can’t get on til I’m done.

I understand why they did that, but I think the 8:00 part is a tad drastic. I think 7:00 would be more reasonable (and yes, an hour makes that much of a difference). I think having my own DVR will help.

I feel really bad for my bro, Nick. Although he really does deserve the terrible grades he got (and he got terrible ones, trust me), my parents took away video games for the next six weeks, PERIOD. He can’t play them at all, and he LOVES playing video games. We’re on Spring Break as of now and through the next week, and he can’t play at all. I think that’s pretty damn harsh. I understand taking them away while in school, but while on break? He’s just gonna sit there all week doing nothing!

Oh, btw, this day last year, March 20th, was Stephen Colbert Day in (I think, Ottawa?) Canada. I dunno if it’s sposed to carry on to the next year and into the future, but I celebrated it today. I told everyone to have a Happy Stephen Colbert Day (and gained strange looks and chuckles), and I might watch some SWC later tonight (goodness knows I could use some laughter).

Okay, I’ll address school real quick and then I’m gonna go take some aspirin cuz my head is killing me. Math was fine, we took a quiz. I completely spaced on two major things on there, so I’m pretty pissed about that, but it’s my own fault, I shoulda studied.

GAH, Chem is so stupid. I really hate that class and totally regret taking it. We’re still working on our labs and I swear, it’s the dumbest thing. We’re just draining shit. Can’t we light something on fire? Can’t we mix a bunch of chemicals? Can’t we do ANYTHING INTERESTING?!

AP Euro was blah. We presented our mini-reports on prominent figures during the Age of Anxiety. My report was a mess on paper, but I actually think I did an okay job of presenting. And one of my classmates, Jeff, said “hi, Miranda” to me before I started and then applauded really loud for me when I was done. He and I hardly ever talk, so it made me feel really good that he was being so nice (and yes, it seemed really nice to me).

German…oh! We watched The Emperor’s New Groove. I love that movie. And I always will! XD It was fun-esque. And then during Panther Period, I finished my Brit Lit homework super fast thanks to Adam and S’Michael, so that was good. Brit Lit was fun. Mrs. Creek told us lengthy and amusing stories, none of which I can recall at the time, but, yeah. I enjoyed that class today, lol. Creative Writing, we just did a worksheet on idioms (and a stupid one, at that).

So then I came home, checked both my emails, checked my LJ, checked the House forum, checked Facebook, checked MySpace, and then watched some of my fave videos on YouTube and listened to some music. I was actually pretty happy when I got home. 

And then Nick wanted to use my computer to do…something, I’m still not sure exactly what, but he had to use Works Word Processor which he doesn’t have on his Mac. So I let him cuz I wasn’t doing anything important, and while he was working I was talking to my mom on the phone and she was already yelling at me for my grades before she even knew what they were (she asked if I was pleased with them and I said no, so she connected the dots).

I got really pissed off because of that, and Nick had left my door open and THREE of our FOUR cats got in my room and I don’t like them in my room cuz they get into all my stuff and scratch at the carpet. The bitchiest cat of all, Kristy, was hiding under my bed and hissing at me, so I got up on my bed and jumped on it once to get her out. It worked, but oh my fucking god, it was the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.

I broke one of the pieces of wood on the bottom of my bed that holds the mattress up. It literally snapped and somehow the two pieces (which are still connected, but just barely) got stuck together and now I can’t fix them. I tried to pull them apart, but they won’t budge. So, let’s review: I have shit grades, I’m getting restricted fun, I got yelled at, and I essentially broke my bed.

I hope my complaining doesn’t annoy you guys, I’m just trying to vent here. Blogging always makes me feel better cuz I can say exactly what I feel and what’s happening and I love that feeling. It’s kinda freeing in a way. Anywho, I *might* report back later after Eli Stone and LA Ink and whatnot, but I might not. We’ll see, I spose.

Oh, quick explanation of the title of this post (and incase you forgot it, here it is again, “Of What One Cannot Speak, of That One Must Keep Silent”); it’s a quote from Wittgenstein, a philosopher from the Age of Anxiety (one of the people one could choose to report on for that AP Euro project). I like this quote a lot. Just thought I’d letcha know, lol.

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Fingering, Squeezing, Licking…Um, Okay…

Hello people!

HAHAHA, okay, I believe the title of this post merits an explanation. Today, in Math, one of my fellow classmates, Brandon, spotted some cinnamon buns in Saran Wrap on Mr. P’s desk. Brandon picked up the buns and was like, “Are these yours?” and Mr. P said, “No, they’re not, so don’t finger them or squeeze them or lick them.” :O And then the bell rang. I mean, ALL OF US were laughing and talking about it as we walked out, I couldn’t stop laughing.

Moving on…

Thanks to the Barry Manilow/Stephen Colbert duet that is now on my MP3 player, I can’t get “I Write the Songs” outta my head. Oh, and since I watched a certain video - a compilation of Stephen singing a bunch of different songs – I can’t get “Dance With Me” outta my head, either. So I’ve got two songs battling for the lead in my head. And everytime I sing them to myself, I smirk like a moron cuz I think of Colbert singing them. Teehee.

Chem was actually kinda cool. We’re doing labs, which are okay, but are only really fun if we DO something. And we finally did! We mixed two substances (but I don’t remember what they are, lol) and came up with a gelly type thing, and then it morphed into powder! It was so cooly. And then we had to drain it. That was dull. But s’okay, lol.

AP Euro was blah. I totally haven’t done the project that’s due tomorrow, LOL. We watched a video in class today that was okay, but I was so tired today that I almost fell asleep during it, haha. Thank frank music started playing and the lights were turned back on just before I drifted off to nothingness.

German…well, German was German. I kinda felt guilt-tripped into taking AP German next year by the Fraus. I love the Fraus, don’t get me wrong, they fucking rule. But I really don’t wanna take German next year. I wanna chill and have a break from all the foreign languagey-ness. I told Frau that I’ll prolly take it next year after she tried to convince me to do it, but I really don’t want to. Apologies to the Fraus.

Brit Lit was fun – we read/listened to “A Modest Proposal” by one of the best satirists in history, Jonathan Swift. He’s amazeringly hilarious and pure awesome. I *LOVED* “A Modest Proposal” and am looking forward to reading “Gulliver’s Travels” after Spring Break.

Creative Writing was decent. We learned that we have to do this huge research project (and it’s actually, like, really complicated and kinda confusing), but the cooly thing is I can read “Jurassic Park” for this, which I totally wanna do. So it should be at least a little fun!

Ya know, other than that shtuff, there really hasn’t been much going on today. Um…Moment of Truth was okay. I’m beginning to think that it’s rigged to stop them from progressing past $100,000, cuz no one ever makes it past that. A lot of people go home with just $100,000 and the girl that was on tonight went to the next question and it was false, and she looked absolutely shocked. I mean, really truthfully shocked, like she totally expected it to be true. I really think it’s totally rigged.

American Idol is ridiculous. Carly is in the bottom three? What the Hell? She’s one of the BEST singers in the competition, she should not be there. I hope Kristy Lee Cook goes home, cuz I really can’t stand her. Blah.

Ya know, I was reading (I think fanellaevangela’s LJ, but I’m absolutely unsure…I really don’t know)…SOMEONE’S blog, lol, and it said, “I hate to sound like a total cock” or something like that, and I must admit, I’ve NEVER heard/seen someone use the word “cock” as a derogatory term towards oneself. I mean, of course, that’s the same as saying “dick” but “cock” seems a lot more blunt to me. But I LOVE IT! XD I’ll have to start saying it, lol.

That’s about it. Men in Trees is on tonight, so I’m stoked bout that! 

OH! Jen! If you’re reading this, my parents don’t want anyone coming over the the Sunday I get back cuz they want us to all chill together (gah). So, howsabout you come over that Saturday? It’s April…uh…5th, I believe. X] If you’re available that day, lol. Lemme know!

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Who’s Ready for Mystery Pie?!

Hello people!

What is the coccyx? One of the best words in the world. Of course it is, Alex, don’t argue with me. That’s me being silly with Jeopardy in my head. Isn’t my insanity comforting?

In first period, those of us that took the ASVAB, that weird-ass military test administered on January 4th, got our results. I think I did okay, not that I really care much, but the strange thing is that I got a 96 in the Mechanics Comprehension section. I know, like, nothing of mechanics, so I dunno how I got that score, lol, but whatevs. X]

Math was…well, boring. He taught us stuff that we needed to know last night in order to actually DO our homework, so we didn’t have to turn our homework in today, which was good. Chem was retarded; we’re doing the lab that everyone else seems to have done and I really don’t get what we’re doing. AT ALL.

AP Euro was lame, I know I bombed the test we took today. My fault for not studying. I dunno how I get even remotely okay grades in my classes when I do virtually nothing. German was good. S’Michael, Adam and I made some more progress, but MY GOD, I dunno how we’re gonna tape the damn thing. None of us has a camera and we need to do it outside of school so we can do the cooly effects we want to do. I need to steal someone’s camcorder, lol.

Brit Lit was whatever. Mrs. Creek is hilarious, but still, blah. Creative Writing was blah, too. We had to peer edit and GAH to that. I hate peer editing. Mkay, so…

I left class at 2:25 and headed to the office to do the photo “shoot” thing for Presidential Classroom, and the lady that took my picture was nice, but she seemed somewhat uninterested in what I had to say, though I’m sure she didn’t mean to come off that way. Anywho, we went up to the library and found a spot for her to take my picture.

I sat on the floor and she took about six or seven pics of me like that, then suggested that we go out to the corridor with the huge wall of windows overlooking the courtyard and took some more pics there. Then, I went downstairs and outside and Zac picked me up and took me over to New Grounds Cafe *thanks Zac!*.

I got to buy a delicious Frozen Caramel Mocha, WHICH I LOVE, but I had to sit thur til 4, and I had no homework to do, so I just sat there. I considered reading my “Atheist Universe” book, but the cafe’s run by immensely religious people, so I didn’t want to get, like, thrown out or something, lol.

OMG…I think I just saw David Cook (on American Idol) wearing a WristStrong bracelet…if that’s what it was, I’m gonna freak, LOL! XD And if we don’t find out for sure that that’s what it was, I’m gonna lose my mind wondering.

I believe I told you guys that I was gonna take the bus to Washington, D.C. on Sunday. Well, last night, my parents said, “Actually, we’re gonna take you there. We’ll drive you. Don’t worry bout the bus.” That made me so unbelievably happy. As you may or may not know, I’m very close to my parents, so leaving at 4:30 AM to ride the bus (and switch buses) all on my own, which I’ve never done before, was a mind-numbingly stressful event that I was NOT looking forward to at all. So I’m really grateful that my parents are gonna drive me. X]

I think I’m gonna take Photo next year. I’m definitely dropping German 5 (*YAY*) and I think Photo would be lotsa fun. I love taking pics, so if I can do awesome effects with them, that’d be pretty cooly, lol.

OMG, *HUGE* thanks to fenellaevangela for givin me the fantastimundo Stephen Colbert songs, WHICH MAKE ME SO HAPPY! XD Yeah, that pretty much made my day.

Anywho, I…uh…that’s about it. I do have some homework I was sposed to do, but I just don’t give a damn, lol. Do I ever? *psst, the answer is NO, of course* I am gonna try my best to SLEEP tonight. I slept like shit last night. And maybe I’ll write a little, too…

Speaking of writing, I’m gonna post a Colbert/Stewart fic that I wrote. To those that don’t know this side of me, I quite enjoy the idea of a Colbert/Stewart romantic relationship…it’s a twisted fangirlish quality of mine, lol, but yeah. SO, if you’re okay with the implication of gay sex and a little male-on-male kissin action, lol, feel free to read:

[[http://community.livejournal.com/tds_rps/755048.html?view=15454824#t15454824]]

OH! I forgot to mention: the woman that was explaining the ASVAB results sounded JUST LIKE Amy Sedaris when she does her Jerri Blank voice. I mean, HOLY MOO-COW, she sounded just like her! I looked at my computer for a minute and just listened to the woman talk, and I was like, “OMG, it’s Jerri Blank!” I didn’t say that, lol, but I thought it.

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Loving Life and Lusting and Living for the Night

Hello people!

OMG, okay, ’member how I told y’all that I was gonna get that photo taken today? Okay, well, I told – TOLD – the woman doing it on Friday that I would NOT be there at 8:30 AM as they’d planned cuz it was a late start day. So what did they do? They came at 8:30 AM when I was NOT THERE. Brilliant. So, then, the woman called me during class and left me a voicemail telling me to call her back. I did and she didn’t answer her phone. 

I left TWO messages before she finally called me back. Then, the photo guy himself called me and told me that we were gonna do the photo tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 PM. My parents can’t pick me up then, so I have to either be driven by a friend to NewGrounds (which is unlikely cuz I have no concept of time and can’t make sure to catch a ride with a friend) or WALK to NewGrounds. So I guess I’m walkin. GAH.

Anywho, Math was okay. Kinda stupid, but I actually get what we’re doin, so it’s all good. OMG, Chem was terrible! I got F’s on all three sections of our most recent test! I knew I’d do poorly, but HOLY SCHEISS, I didn’t think I’d do THAT bad! So, yeah, it sucks. AP Euro was alright. That sub woman is weird, though. I forget her name…OH! Mrs. Pfening. Stupid name, btw. But yeah, she’s kinda bitchish. Thanks to Jen for the help with the pre-test!

German was GREAT! Adam and S’Michael and I finally made some progress in our group video assignment thingy. Although, I’m still kinda stressed bout when the hell we’re gonna be able to record our vid cuz we are all pretty busy – S’Michael with work and Adam with practice/games. DAMN, man.

Brit Lit was alright. We got new seats and I sit by the window, which is cooly ‘cept that I’m far away from the door, lol. Um…that’s about it. Creative Writing was stupid. I’m really beginning to despise that class. We have to do that past-self journal entry thing and, to be honest, I’m not sure what to do. It’s due tomorrow, and I changed my mind bout writing bout becoming an Atheist. I don’t wanna make it seem like it’s one traumatic experience or something that made me decide on that, so, yeah. So, yeah, I still haven’t even done it yet.

So, I got home and chilled for a while, but I’ve really been stressing out. I just feel like I have a lot to worry about, and my grades are REALLY freaking me out. I know they’re bad, but I really can’t think of a way to explain to my parents WHY they’re so bad (other than the truth, which is NOT gonna do). I’ll have to come up with somethin fast, lol.

I…I really can’t think of what else to say. I know there was more, but I have nothing. My apologies, guys. There’ll be a better entry tomorrow.

Love y’all – Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

…Was That Extensively Boring Enough?

Hello people!

Ahh, fenellaevangela was 100% correct about “Dan in Real Life.” It was great, of course. Steve Carell, John Mahoney, Dane Cook. How could it NOT be good? But it was very sad. Funny at points, but yeah, sad. Glad it ended well, though. But yeah, I almost cried a couple times (the only reason I didn’t is cuz I’m with my parents and I *hate* it when they see me cry cuz of a movie or something). I recommend it, but only if you’re into being somewhat depressed, lol.

I’ve been watching The Daily Show and The Colbert Report most of the day, and I kinda wanna go back to watching it – I need the cheering up, lol. See, my parents made me stop watching TDS/TCR cuz they were tired of my laughter (that’s a strange thing, isn’t it?), and that’s when we watched “Dan in Real Life.” So now I wanna watch my shows again, but I can’t, cuz I have to do my homework, lol.

“If “if”s and “but”s were candy and nuts, we’d already be bombing Iran.” <– a line from one of the eps of The Colbert Report two weeks back. But such a great line, very SWC, if ya know what I mean. He even did that Jerri snap, though I assume it’s not exclusively a Jerri thing, LOL. But SWC’s the only place I’ve seen it.

I think it’d be cool to be an advice columnist. I like giving people advice, and I think I give relatively okay advice. There are so many things I think it would be awesome to have as a career, and yet, I can’t do them all, lol. Life is way too freaking short, man. Way too short.

Okay! Tomorrow is the photoshoot for Presidential Classroom, and, as far as I know, we will be doin it in German class. I have an awesome, nice, new shirt to wear, but it goes well with jeans, which is great, cuz I don’t wanna come off as seeming like I always dress really dressy and whatnot.

I had a dream that my parents were going on vacation somewhere for a week, and then my bro and I were gonna join them at the end of the week. But we had packed our suitcases already and gave them to our parents to take with them so they’d be there when we got there. I had packed my jeans in the suitcase and my parents had already left, but I started to freak out that I didn’t have my jeans. Like, I had a freaking meltdown cuz I didn’t have my jeans. How weird is that?

I also dreamt that I was on, like, Facebook or something and I wanted to send a sexually-themed poke-type thing like on Facebook to flirt with my crush, and when I hit send, my friend replied back to me and was like, “Why’d you send me that?” and I was like, “What do you mean?” and she said, “Why’d you send me that sex thing?” and I said, “I didn’t…I sent it to ****.” and she said, “Um, no…it says that you sent it to all of your friends.”

So I was freaking out and I saw that it got sent to, like, 31 of my girl friends and 72 of my guy friends, so I was messaging EVERYONE to tell them I was so sorry for the sex thing, and I had to send the messages each individually. So, yeah, I was really freaking out. And then I woke up.

Ya know, I never thought Steve Carell was all that good-looking, but he really kinda is. I mean, he’s got a honker of a nose just like James Roday, but he’s really cute. And he’s hilarious. XD Moving on…

I think that my mom subconsciously…I dunno, maybe consciously…keeps saying things that I find kind of inconsiderate. She – especially lately – has been saying a lot more God-esque things. Like, she was watching this show on the human body, and she was like, “Wow, that’s amazing how the human body works. How can people not believe in God?” I mean, firstly, kinda random, right? Secondly, I’m right fucking here, and she just doesn’t even care. I said, “Science” in response to her stupid rhetorical question, and she ignored me. I dunno, it just seems inconsiderate to me…and I kinda think she does it intentionally.

Well, I had a lot of homework this weekend, and of course, I’ve done none of it. So I should get to that. I’ll leave you with a clip from one of The Colbert Reports I watched today, which, I think, was hilarious. The link will take you to a page that contains clips from the episode. Scroll down and watch the clip titled, “Howard Dean” and then the clip titled, “To Howard Dean”:
