but you're staying where you are

cross your fingers for the north gulf coast. it seems like the majority of the people will be able to get out, but the damage katrina is about to cause... i really don't want to think about that. all of my relatives live in or around new orleans. that whole city has a very good change of getting the brunt of the storm. which is bad for many reasons, the forthmost being that the city is actually below sea level. so much is going to get destroyed.

so keep them in your hearts.


..175mph.

there's nothing you can do

i should peddle buterflies

i finally found the artist lindsey (my modern teacher) uses a lot in class. she is so fabulous. her songs are random or just funny or interesting. well. they're all interesting. it is something new and refreshing, for me, at least. you will probably all just find it very odd. but here is her website if you'd like to take a gander. there's a radio you can listen to to hear her songs (in their entirety!)

lounge and aching to pupate are good. we've done a cool combination to lounge.

there's a shortage in the city

everything

yes! it's friday!

but what kind of friday? i have no idea. it is six in the morning right now, and I am writing this because i'm breaking from the craziness of trying to pack, study for two tests, finish a lab and burn a cd on the other computer. talk about multitasking... i really hope i get it all done. i am rather pleased with our FORTY SLIDE slideshow for french. that took so long.. i was up until about two last night, and i woke up around 5:15 this morning so that i would have time to study. heh, i'm getting so much studying done right now...

i have to leave right after school to go to new orleans to bring nick all his junk, and i will be gone until sometime probably late sunday. joy of joys.. such a fabulous time, with that english essay due and all. it is never going to slow down from here, is it? no? didn't think so.

wow i'm really tired... and more lightheaded than i was last night.. this should make for a very interesting day. good thing we don't have to present, we just have to turn it all in. presenting today would suck.

and thusly ends my post about nothing much in particular. i will probably have my cell turned on etc etc because of that whole free nationwide thing, so feel free to give me a ring if you're bored. chances are i am bored too.

will be alright

i think we're going somewhere

well, i was right. it is not deleted, that previous post, simply just resaved as a draft. it is important maybe for future reference? or probably not.

that is why i actually wanted to start one. i always thought diaries and the such were interesting to read. i thought maybe if i did something worth remembering it would be... i don't know... useful maybe? that is not the right word. anyway.

it is thursday tomorrow! i have a smattering of tests friday and a french project due, but other than that it should be smooth sailing.

hope yall have a good rest of the week. mine is getting a bit better, if you were wondering.

it's a wonderful night. come on and break it on down ;)

we're on to something good here

and life's like an hourglass

first week is over. thank goodness. it was so incredibly long. the calm before the storm, i guess. we will quake in our boots.

this year shouldn't be too awful. people keep thinking i'm in chem 2. i am not that smart, geeze. well, more like i couldn't take it. nor did i really want to. bio 2 next year, beechas.

i really enjoy english class. it will probably be my favorite. i am so glad that i finally have an english teacher who knows what she's doing. don't get me wrong, my previous two weren't too incredibly stupid. they were just.. yeah, you know the whole schpeil. whether from me or katherine bout last year, and anybody from gt english freshman year.

finally feeling a little better. coughing got worse, but that happens every year so it's not too awful.

the soccer game last night was tres amusant. we pwn at the wave, if you didn't know already. and i made sort of a scene at jason's deli in rice village. but i seem to make a scene most of the time, so that shouldn't surprise anybody.

i agree, bobcat. no regrets.

glued to the table

back to school, back to school

there is no turning back now, boys and girls. i wish you the best of luck.

because i know that all of you would just love to know my schedule (and i have a lack of anything better to really write about), i will show you!

1st period - english, williams: personally, i rather like her. i am looking forward to having a good english teacher this year. and lauren is in my class (my first four classes, actually). and now so is david, apparently. this will be interesting.

2nd period - physics, kutchin: this class should be pretty fun, i am thinking. specially with you, becca ;) and lauren again, among others. in your face, daniel.

3rd period - french, faust: i really like this one, it is small. because it is french four. i really like mrs faust (previously ms white).

4th period - statistics, harmon: can you say awesome? like weikei said, it is like eighth grade all over again. only with different gt people. we watched the funniest math-related video ever today. "... and that sex is no substitute for love. and that college is no substitute for seven years of hard labor in a diamond mine."

5th period - yerabook, david (aka dave): just karen (the other co-editor) and i in here. which will be good, we have already gotten stuff done. this yearbook is going to rock, guys. *note to seniors* talk to me if you want an ad.

lunch! b lunch, to be precise. i can't believe you losers that are getting switched to a, though. it is ok, my lunch is still better. and kirk is there, so it is even more fabulous (only thing we have together though :( )

6th period - us history, rozek: the class will be alright. she seems like a pretty good teacher, though i have only had her for a period. the faces of the kids who weren't in ap history last year were hilarious when she told us that we were already 40 pages behind and we were going to read 1000 pages this semester. bring it.

7th period - yearbook, dave: small class! only 15 in there, including photogs. i am the boss. and i can be a boss too, don't try me.

and then i get to go home! yay! mostly. i should really be doing something more constructive right now, but i have a headache, so i think i will continue to sit here and ramble.

it is so weird not having started dance yet. i am so incredibly out of shape, it is not even funny. we should be getting a bunch of new blood this year, which will be good. what with tori leaving after this year and the such. which is not good. i will really miss her. like i miss the two that have already left us. i still am frustrated about how much i messed up my solo though. i promise it will be better this year.

not much else to report today. it was nice seeing everybody again, and my classes aren't too bad. hopefully they won't get worse. more later! i promise i will have more interesting updates now that there is actually lots of stuff happening besides me just hanging out with awesome people.

for three weeks, she sleeps

sorry to bring this up, but school starts in three days. i am actually kind of looking forward to it. the only thing tainting school as of now is that i still haven't started huck finn. cheerio just sat down between my arms. it is kind of hard to type like this. especially with his head in my face. ok i moved a bit it is fine now.

i didn't really do a lot of things i would've liked to this summer, but it wasn't a total loss. all things considered, it has been pretty fabulous. except that i still haven't rollerbladed...

ok, i apologize to all of you that were looking forward to a party, but it is definitely not happening before school starts (as most of you know, hopefully). but, it might yet still happen. do not, i repeat, DO NOT count on it though, as it, in all likelyhood, will change. but labor day weekend i might be able to have people down to the beach. might. just to give yall the heads up.

and a final word to you all, you need to get msn messenger, it is much more fun than aim.

through the rain

the haze clears from your eyes

it is not even noon.. and i have been awake almost four hours. the insanity! katherine and i went jogging this morning. a mile. we are so cool. it took a while to find the freaking freeway entrance though. stupid construction. there were also dogs that looked like rats and a guy with really strangely cool orange sunglasses. and we got smoothies afterwards.

it is really hot outside. and i have the sudden urge to rollerblade. maybe anna is home or something. i will go surprise her. nicholas says he won't come with me, so sad. blarg.

more later. i just wanted to post something so that god-awful picture went farther down.

on a sunday

Wednesday, August 03, 2005

...can you say worst picture ever? hahahaha. but that was so hilarious. 123, katherine.

heh, nick is right. i do look like a shark...

rawr.

and all our hearts afire

i am still finding it hard to believe that i am a junior.. that this year i have to start deciding what i am going to do with the rest of my life (looking at colleges, basically). it is just the beginning of the rest, i know. but things keep changing. and it is getting sort of overwhelming at times. all this and school hasn't even started yet.

if one more person asks me what college i am looking at going to, i am going to maul them within an inch of their life. i have always just sort of taken things as they've come i guess, and i would like to continue doing so for the most part. i don't want to ruin what i have now by thinking about what i will have later, you know? why waste time thinking over something i can't really decide right now anyway. personally, it makes no sense to me. oh well. anyway.

a lot really has changed, though. friends i thought i'd be with forever are drifting away, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, we all need a bit of change and we are all going to end up someplace different in all likelyhood. but when it all happens in one year it's a bit scary. not to say any of my friends are less of friends, it is just a little different than it used to be. i am ok with that though.

a lot of things have ended as well. lord of the rings movies, friends (not that i really watched it that much, but others tell me it is a big deal, an end of an era), the pope, some of my respect for our nation. nick is going to college, and it will be very strange not having him around. as much as i'd like to say i'm happy that he's going, i'm really not i guess. i get to go visit him, so that should be fun. he is going to tulane, stop asking me that too. webcomics have been ending rampantly this year too. first smartass chronicles, then queen of wands. now squidi. i just finished reading his little ending post mabob too. i still think the original amd was the best though, and always will be. heh, i am such a huge dork. don't you just love me?

on a more exciting and interesting note, becca and i went with her mother to the lotr exhibit at the museum. i don't know what yall were talking about, but i thought it was pretty good. we watched every single one of those little videos. a lot really went into that movie... it is pretty amazing.

that is why we are watching it tonight, which should also be fun.

and that is where i'm headed. to eat and then go watch the best movie series ever created.

the sky ablaze with cannon fire

to experience the bittersweet

i have decided to actually post something! aren't you happy? of course you are. i know i am! well. maybe. continuing.

i am officially restrictionless! in regard to how many people i can squeeze into my car legally. i still have to have corrective vision wear. i don't think that's going anywhere any time soon. but that i have no restriction is pretty awesome, now planning things won't be as much of a pain in the ass. though my mother did say something like this: "yes, with the state you are restrictionless, but not with your mother." after which i was like oO. and she says "maybe after your birthday". but i dont think she will actually do that, especially once school starts up.

yearbook camp (i am so lame..) was actually really helpful. we got a whole lot done, and i'm pretty excited about this year. i know i will probably not think that during this semester especially. it will be really cool. i think you all will really like it. hopefully. and if not, oh well. there is always next year! bwahaha...

and in regard to anything this weekend, i still have not had the chance to discuss it with my mother. so just hold on a little bit ok? thanks.

in other news, now i am going to eat breakfast. among other things. maybe get together and do something today yes? sounds good.

*kills something*

i am losing my mind.
