What particular clothes style do you hate and why: It's not really a "style," but I really hate it when people have that messy look, where it seems like they don't brush their hair (or teeth, sometimes); have jeans just an inch too short so it shows their socks when they sit down; plain formless jackets and t-shirts...

This might be a subconscious remembrance of my promise to get a clean-cut guy this time, though.

32. Is the music you like a strong representation of you and your personality?: Hmm... Maybe.
33. Can you sing, or are you in a band?: I am in choir, so yes, I can sing. I don't think I can sing well, but ... Jenny with Scissors is a band that is really just part of a running joke, but I suppose I could say I am JwS's vocalist.

I'm really tired, and lethargic, and neurotic, right now, but today was really cool... I don't know why I feel so blah right now. I think I just need a nap.
Anyway... Good points of the day--
Larry Larry Larry! :D
4th period: Excited about seeing Larry. Turns out he wasn't there, but got to take pictures of people and the gym. Talked to Aneesa -- learned she was a Democrat, like me, and so we were debating with Jenny (who is a Republican). Jenny was upset with us afterwards, but whatever -- I don't take it personally when people disagree with my political views. I mean, damn. Voicing our opinions doesn't change anyone else's (usually) -- we just enjoy it. Don't get all bent out of shape over it, jesus.
LUNCH: Saw Larry! Sat down and asked if I was bothering him (because he had been reading), and he said "no". I asked why he wasn't in 4th, and he said he had a doctors' appointment. I asked him if he wanted to eat lunch with us today, and he said "Sure" -- without any hestitation. OH EM GEE. So ...once again... I HAD LUNCH WITH LARRY OMG! I learned that he was a Democrat -- and he thinks Chris is an asshole too! :3 Yay.
After 7th: I saw Larry at the end of the corridor, and screamed "LARRY!" (about 5 times)... He turned, but didn't see me, so he kept walking, rounding a corner. And I (being the crazy stalker!chick) chased after him, hung around the corner (literally) and screamed his name and he turned. I was all smiles and waved really erratically, and he just waved like "What the fuck?" And I was embarassed, once I realized what I had done. Ahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............... ha.
Mm. Larry.
REBECCA'S COMING OVER THIS WEEKEND! YES!
OH! And Larry was wearing this really snazzy white vest-looking shirt that had lime-green diamonds on it. Not so attractive in words, but it was really really hot. As usual. ;p
Okay. ALSO, just to continue the "Larry" trend of this post (and previous XD)--
I really don't mind people saying Larry isn't cute/hawt/whatever. I mean, whatever floats your boat, right? But... okay. I showed Emily a picture of Larry in the 2003 yearbook, and she wrinkled her nose and said, with no inhibition or anything at all, "Yuuuuuuuck! Rachel, you can do better!"
Excuse me? Did you just insinuate that my current dream-boy was ugly? Uhh, that's fine. But why say it so dramatically -- as if he was the ugliest guy in the world? And why say I can do better, assuming that just because you don't think he's attractive he's horrible for me, as if you know him? Granted, I don't know him very well either, but I know him damn well better than YOU.
Everyone said I could do better than Chris, also -- Emily one of the most adamant about it. So WHY say I can do better, when I have? Just because you don't think he's cute? Whatever...
*sigh*
Excuse the lack of bold questions and whatnot. I was being lazy. This was supposed to be posted yesterday, btw, so anything that says 'tomorrow' means today.

Anyway... Good points of the day--
Larry Larry Larry! :D
4th period: Excited about seeing Larry. Turns out he wasn't there, but got to take pictures of people and the gym. Talked to Aneesa -- learned she was a Democrat, like me, and so we were debating with Jenny (who is a Republican). Jenny was upset with us afterwards, but whatever -- I don't take it personally when people disagree with my political views. I mean, damn. Voicing our opinions doesn't change anyone else's (usually) -- we just enjoy it. Don't get all bent out of shape over it, jesus.
LUNCH: Saw Larry! Sat down and asked if I was bothering him (because he had been reading), and he said "no". I asked why he wasn't in 4th, and he said he had a doctors' appointment. I asked him if he wanted to eat lunch with us today, and he said "Sure" -- without any hestitation. OH EM GEE. So ...once again... I HAD LUNCH WITH LARRY OMG! I learned that he was a Democrat -- and he thinks Chris is an asshole too! :3 Yay.
After 7th: I saw Larry at the end of the corridor, and screamed "LARRY!" (about 5 times)... He turned, but didn't see me, so he kept walking, rounding a corner. And I (being the crazy stalker!chick) chased after him, hung around the corner (literally) and screamed his name and he turned. I was all smiles and waved really erratically, and he just waved like "What the fuck?" And I was embarassed, once I realized what I had done. Ahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............... ha.
Mm. Larry.
REBECCA'S COMING OVER THIS WEEKEND! YES!
OH! And Larry was wearing this really snazzy white vest-looking shirt that had lime-green diamonds on it. Not so attractive in words, but it was really really hot. As usual. ;p
Okay. ALSO, just to continue the "Larry" trend of this post (and previous XD)--
I really don't mind people saying Larry isn't cute/hawt/whatever. I mean, whatever floats your boat, right? But... okay. I showed Emily a picture of Larry in the 2003 yearbook, and she wrinkled her nose and said, with no inhibition or anything at all, "Yuuuuuuuck! Rachel, you can do better!"
Excuse me? Did you just insinuate that my current dream-boy was ugly? Uhh, that's fine. But why say it so dramatically -- as if he was the ugliest guy in the world? And why say I can do better, assuming that just because you don't think he's attractive he's horrible for me, as if you know him? Granted, I don't know him very well either, but I know him damn well better than YOU.
Everyone said I could do better than Chris, also -- Emily one of the most adamant about it. So WHY say I can do better, when I have? Just because you don't think he's cute? Whatever...
*sigh*
