I wish it would stop being so damn cold, and I wish it'd stop getting dark so fucking early. I wish some supernatural force would compel me to complete my homework due tomorrow. I wish girls I like as more-than-friends would see me in the same light instead of just friends-friends. I wish I could stop biting my fingernails. I wish the duct tape ( Read more... )

I'm in Chicago on a business trip with my father. We arrived Wednesday morning and so far we've been to the Sears Tower, the Field Museum, and the Shed Aquarium. Go to the Field Museum if you want to see thousands of dead taxidermied animals. You just get lost in this maze of dead animals. It might be the coolest museum I've ever been to. Yeah, I ( Read more... )

These are the breaks. Got kicked out of 4th period Bible class today by Mr. McEwen because I was doing geometry homework. I told him it wasn't a very Christian-like thing to do and I got the verbal beat down out in the hallway. That also wasn't a very Christian-like thing for him to do, but I kept it to myself this time. I spent the rest of the ( Read more... )

Went vintage shopping with Jaime and Derek. We stopped by this ghetto dollar store where they were selling ghetto imitation Pop Rock candy called Crack Ups. 10 packets for a dollar, so I bought about 50 packets. Not bad, eh. On the way home, Derek started throwing all the packets out the car window at homeless people, bums, kids, weird look people ( Read more... )

Well, the verdict is in. If I want another dog I have to volunteer at an animal shelter or the SFSPCA for 6 months, and then my parents will consider letting me get another dog. Key word: consider. So, even after 6 months of volunteering it's possible they still would say no. Plus, the dog I want will probably already be adopted in 6 months. Anyway ( Read more... )

* Went to a party down in Santa Cruz with Jennifer. Came home 2 hours after my curfew. Found my parents were not home and then remembered they were going to a Tupperware party tonight. I didn't think Tupperware parties lasted past 2AM. Beginning to think that they most likely did not go to a Tupperware party, after all. With as many Tupperware ( Read more... )

My father ran over my bike as he was leaving for work this morning. I was barely awake and could hear him talking with my mother at the bottom of the stairs. I heard him say something about his car, and then heard her say, "Oh poor Etienne, he really loved that...". Not being very awake and not hearing my mother completely, I thought they were ( Read more... )

I failed my 1st period English pop-quiz on Julius Caesar, but Mrs. Acton gave us, the failures, the opportunity to stay after school to take the quiz over. When the final bell rang, I made my way back to room 213 and took a seat, along with 3 other failures. Mrs. Acton then strolled into the classroom, slammed the door, and began her speech of how ( Read more... )

The final bell rang and the usual mass exodus began. I left geometry and started walking down the stairs to my locker when a group of sophomores came up behind me and knocked me down. Luckily, I was only a couple stairs from the ground, but I did jam my fingers backwards on my right hand as I tried to shield my fall. I debated confronting them and ( Read more... )

If it weren't for LJ some pregnant teenager would be sitting at home, in a stupor, wondering if her thingie had become dislodged. I will pass on the knowledge I have gained from this post to you all, just in case you potentially dislodge your thingie and need advice ( Read more... )
