Discovery!
Short post- Did anybody watch American Idol last night? You know when Adam sang "Ring of Fire" and Kara was talking about how she found it confusing. I was confused too. I knew I didn't like it- Simon totally said what I was thinking- and I knew it was creepy, but I couldn't pin down exactly how it made me feel. Well I just watched it again, and ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Chatty
I wasn't going to take the time to answer this, but I have to because I feel very strongly about it! :p
I hate, hate, hate talking on the phone. It's usually so awkward, and I'm sorry, but I can't tell what attitude a person is taking any better on the phone than I can when texting. In other words, I will pick texting over talking almost every ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: More Island Time
Sweet! Awesome writer's block! But difficult. Let me think a minute...
1. Definitely, Jane Eyre because I adore that book like you wouldn't believe
2. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because Twain makes me chuckle a lot
3. Harry Potter and... (it's hard to pick one)... the Deathly Hallows I suppose, mainly because of Snape's redemption. I always ( Read more... ) -
There are people I KNOW on here
Okay, so there aren't many people I know on here anymore (they migrated to myspace/facebook), but the fact is they used to be. My whole old network of friends was on here when we were in ninth grade! I found one person which led me to another which led to a bunch more and so on and so forth and dot dot dot... I asked myself why I didn't know this ( Read more... ) -
Regional Honor Band
So seriously, before this week I think I'd forgotten how much I actually love concert band. This year hasn't been the best band class wise. Our band is young and not that great, so we don't play very challenging music and what we do play, we don't play particularly well. It's been sort of depressing, and I guess I've gotten a sort of ho-hum ( Read more... ) -
Yay for underdogs!
So I went skiing last night, and I could kick myself for being there instead of being at our school's boys basketball game! We beat the number two ranked team in the state, and the only team in the state that was undefeated! As if that's not enough, we're a brand new school with one player with varsity experience! And we won!!!
Yay!!!!!
I am so ( Read more... ) -
My rant against the right
So I was browsing the news when I saw that Guantanamo Bay has officially been terminated. Every single solitary operation is supposed to end within the year. This welcome piece of news reminded made me think of a particularly infuriating moment from school today. I have AP English with ten girls, four of them conservatives who range from mildly to ( Read more... ) -
Hillary is officially Secretary of State!!
Yes, I'm more excited about this than I was about the swearing in of Obama. I'm sorry, but I can't help it! It's not that I don't like Obama, but I'm still a little sore about the whole Hillary not clinching the democratic nomination thing, and Secretary of State seems like a good consolation prize. I'm so excited! Naysayers beware for I will ( Read more... ) -
It's snowing!!!! Eeeeeek!
I've been waiting so long for this!!!!!!!! :D :D
Can you tell I'm excited?? Granted, the snow started about twelve hours too soon and we'll probably still have school tomorrow, but it's exciting! We haven't gotten a decent snowfall yet this year! Even this won't amount to very much, a few inches at the most, but compared to the half an inch we've ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: So Long, Farewell
I have no idea. History changes. For the next fifty to seventy years or so he'll probably be remembered as predominantly incompetent and bumbling. After most of the people who lived through his presidency have passed away who can say how people will judge him? It depends on the situation we find ourselves in. How he is viewed in a hundred years ( Read more... )
