| Thanksgiving rant |
[22 Nov 2005|06:24pm] |
yanno... it kinda sucks. Thanksgiving is Thursday... a day when people sit around the table with their family and have a good meal. A lot of people even go places, but thats not the point. The point is to be with family. In my opinion this goes far beyond just the members of your household... but sadly, this year, this is what i am left with.
I suppose I should be grateful that im having a thanksgiving dinner at all... but somehow that just doesnt satisfy me. In the end, I kinda just wish it could be how it was when i was younger... before people got old, back when Thanksgiving was a fun day... with a bunch of people.
I remember when i was younger, in school once, being told to write about a tradition in my family.... and honest to God, I couldnt think of one for the life of me. Every year things are a little different... and im not one for change...

I have just realized that next semester I will be in the same exact class as my sister during 5/6. ENVIRONMENTAL Science with Mrs. Lee.
I'm not sure how I am supposed to feel about that lol.
That is all.

First day of band camp. Twas a very long day. I have a nickname now... to go along with the other like 7 i have. Because one of the kids saw me at Dairy Queen n knows i work there... that is now my name. Dairy Queen. Luckily i am not alone in that one because i made sure that he know calls Lisa Mattson's lol since thats where she works... and especially because she hoped that he didnt do that to her.
I continued my ritual of being matt, karl, mahony, n now nicks bitch... takin up their trash. It doesnt bother me to do it... so i dont care. Sometimes its fun... n im just weird like that. Plus, its not like they do it cuz they hate me; its all in fun.
On another note... walkin up to the field this morning... i came to the realization that i dont really like having to be a leader. its my senior year and i kinda wanna goof off.... but, i shant and cant.
umm... this entry is really pointless... i just kind of figured that i hadnt made one in a while, so i might as well... cuz really... not many ppl want to hear about my day at band camp... n those who do, were there lol.

This goes out to everyone.
Everyone seems to have entries now about old friends... and losing them. I dunno what it is... but there seems to be a lot of that going on with the people i know. I know personally, that i feel like i'm losing 2 of my good friends; both of which i have known for almost 4 years now. One is going away to college or whatever and i hardly ever see or speak to anymore whereas the other just feels like i dont want to be her friend anymore.
Through out my years in twp i have gone through more good friends than i ever thought imaginable. I had Michelle, and then Keri, then Mikael, then Rachel, then Michelle again, then Karl, then Lauren and Ashley and Michelle, then Selee and Will, and then Ashley and Keri. Many of the friends have come full circle, meaning that we started as good friends, then stopped talking and then started again... but as time goes on im realizing that after high school i wont see many of these people again. I want to make the best of the time i have left with them.... and everyone else. I just wish things were easier than they are. Now to me, they seem easy. Both parties say they want to be friends and it shall be done. I guess its not that easy... but it should be. Everyone says ok yea, we'll hang out... but neither party picks up the phone to call the other, or one party is too busy and the schedules just conflict. So much comes in to play that did not before, when we were younger. Now we have to split our time between boyfriends, and friends, and jobs, and family... making things more complicated. Now we all just sit back and remember the old times... and how great they were... and how we wish we could have them back... rather than seizing the day... and picking up the phone to make something happen. Communication is key. Remember that.
I think im done rambling now...
Ashley
ok... im not done. I meant all that in an optimistic way... more like a revelation type thing... for people to realize that in order to hold on to what they have they need to communicate... without that... all is lost.
Lastly, i am thankful for those friends that i do have, for those that i had, and those that i hope to meet or regain touch with.
Thank you.

ok, so now i am back. Apparently, little to no one even noticed i was gone... but ok. I hated girls state the first 3 days i was there because it was all meetings and running and campaigning and such... and we all knew like no one. By the end we all knew eachother and we had a pep rally and city talent show and it was fun. I met a few cool people from all over NJ and i guess it was nice. One thing i did realize though is that I wil NEVER go to an all girls college. NEVER. Not that i needed to go spend a week at one for Girl's State to find that out, but still.
So i come home to a clean room, and a car that finally runs right; but at the same time, to people who didnt notice i was gone lol... thanks.
Ammendment just for Jessie-Lynn: A few ppl did notice i was gone... and for that, I commend and appreciate them.

Much love.

So, i went to graduation last night... it was nice. I'm gonna miss a few of them, and it was pretty sad to watch.... and then to think that'll be me and so many others next year was just weird. I remember being in elementary school thinking that id be in school forever and it would be forever until i actually reached 12th grade. Although, now i'll be a senior... and i'm excited.
After grad ash n i talked to ppl, gave hugs, n whatnot. Then, we went to DQ and visited my sister and ash got to see some ppl she used to work with. From there we went back to her house where we sat on her porch, n then in my car, using the trunk release as our way to turn the overhead light on when it went off. It was then that Shawn scared us half to death, because it was dark. Twas fun.
Now, it's summer... and im not really that excited. I like the structure of school, rather than the lackadazicalness of summmer. In school you always see everyone, everyday; whereas over the summer it is up to you to see those people and find things to do. blah.

I really dont have the urge to write in here anymore... like at all. Although, a few moments ago i became bored and did a survey a ma bob. ( This is the survey-a-ma-bob i was telling you about )
I was reading my users manual for my car again the other day and realized that driving with the check engine light can actually damage my car in the long run... im not too keen on findin that out.

| Rant on Sin City |
[10 Apr 2005|01:21am] |
|
I have just seen the worst movie in the whole entire world... sin city. omg... im just in shock. It was super long, its made no sense whatsoever, it was about a bunch of guys going around killing people in order to protect whores. Jess and i laughed at it the whole entire time. it was that bad.
We should have just seen sarhara... which is what the guy mistakenly gave us tickets for at first... so we sat in the sahara theater until we realized it was the wrong movie... then jess talked to a manager who didnt think we were 17, n then we got to sin city right before it started... and then it was horrible lol... but we got some laughs... n then we got free passes for their mistake... so, that works... but all in all... i feel i have wasted my night, and my energy trying to figure out how any of the 3 stories fit together.
I'm tired of seeing people get shot... and talking heads... and chopping off body parts in black and white... and seeing things in 4 colors (black, white, red, and the orangish-yellow of the mutant who got his penis chopped off in the begining and needed a new one and had mutationous side effects)... i cant even remember what else... but im sure theres more.
lastly, in order to save myself from the million arguements i will have and lose regarding my opinion on the movie, i shall create a list of the good things about the movie.
1. the whole idea of it being in black, white, and red was really good and created a worthy tone for the movie
2. the plotline was nothing short of exciting... was never a dull moment
Also on a side note, i came home and looked up some stuff about the movie, which made the movie a little better.

seniors got back today... thats exciting... i missed them.
Went to a surprise party for my grandmother today... eh, not too bad. Drunk people amuse me, so i guess it works. Thats what you get when you make it open bar.
i had a jazz band competition friday... took up my whole half day which sucked, but all in all the bands we got to hear werent too bad, so i guess it all evens out.
I dunno, ever since the elections n all... ive kinda gained a new respect for myself and have limited the amount of crap i take from people. Like it or dont like it, i really dont care,
Um... i think thats all i have to say... im not big on details n such, so i dont intend to go into my whole guy thing... well, other than, the one person id generally discuss it with considering she knows both parties, i feel weird discussing it with. So all in all, im not gonna worry about it n im just gonna act like i never liked him liked him... but then id be lying.... so i dunno what im gonna do... blah... i really should talk to her...
sry if none of that above made sense lol

Both of my fish died yesterday. How sad is that? Well, i dont think its sad, i think its kinda creepy... like just knowing that i had two dead fish in my house. At least this time i didnt have to see it as compared to last time, when i freakin accidentally killed the fish. That was upsetting. This time it was sort of like, last night i went to feed them before i went to bed and neither fish bowl was there, and so i just kind of assumed. So, this morning my parents asked me if i noticed the fish, and i said yea cuz i went to feed them last night and they werent there. My mom then said, well did u feed them yesterday and i said yea, n then she said, n u didnt realize they were at the bottom? I responded with, they are supposed to float when they are dead, not sink. Thats how i always would know they were still alive, but according to my parents, they both died yesterday. Poor fish. I dont think i ever even named those two. I know the first one i had was named Fenwick, but thats the one i accidentally killed about a year ago. Im just glad that these two werent my fault... but still, they died, and i should mourn that.

elections suck. I absolutely love being in student government and everything... but i feel that getting elected is the hardest part. Especially when there are people running against you... always makes things stressful... arg. Student Government President, VP, Treasurer, and Secretary elections are coming up... certainly interesting... i guess...
*EDIT* alright yea... forget the whole "im so stressed, i hate elections" thing i got goin on up there... Found a new way to look at it all... n thats why mike freakin rocks.

i made the greatest analogy ever today... well at least i thought it was great. We were at the SET club rehearsal for their show thing tomorrow cuz the jazz band has to play for some odd reason... but anyway, people are dancing n singing n all sorts of stuff. So... they introduce "Tina Turner"... n i was confused... n out walks Mrs. South... singing "What's Love Got to do With it," with the track of course, but i was like oh. my. god. Now, first off, i must say that i give her a lot of credit for goin up there and i think that its awesome that she would get involved in something like this and actually participate. I really think its great, but as i was standin there behind her with the rest of the jazz band and shes workin the stage i couldnt help but think back to my favorite movie... 10 Things I Hate About You. So.. i came up with this... In 10 things i hate about you, their guidance counselor wrote sex novels... ours, thinks shes tina turner...
had to update about that...

well... i love my new classes... to an extent... havin Cap is awesome... and plus when i finish my projects n stuff i get to work on homework which is always a plus.
AP Calc.. that class just sucks lol... can't wait for it to end... then maybe we can work with numbers again... thatd be nice.
AP US... not that bad... a lot of work... havent really started the DBQ project due the 17th... gotta do that... n im currently procrastinating on a boring Progressivism paper right now...
Finally... the class im dying to discuss. No offense to anyone thats in my physics class... but i feel so remedial. We went over scientific notation for about 2 days... n then conversions for about 4... n we havent even gotten to significant figures yet. I feel like we move soooo slow, and because all that stuff i just went over was covered in chemistry, i already know it. Dr. Priestly, ok, shes a nice woman, but i feel like she goes so slow... and shes obsessive over her rules... n she can be a tad moody at times. I usually get bored out of my mind n do history homework... but when i cant do that... i dunno what to do. I dont pay attention though, so today i went ahead n did like 4 pages in a packet while she went over the one page. I dunno if im gonna make it through the semester. lol
ah, back to workin on the paper, i guess....
