Red Nose Day!

Where is everyone? It was good to hear from Mel - I hope you had a good birthday.

And for the rest of you, I'm still hoping you're alive and well.

Oh, and I've learnt that volleyball is actually suicide for your arms/wrist. Why do they use such hard balls? I swear they're like footballs. Like really hard tough footballs. Urgh. They also hurt your thumbs. Nothing like a good ole sport rant.

And we handed in our GCSE subjects today. It's kind of scary now I've hit the point of no return. Like I know I have to just trust that I picked the right things (which I probably didn't, by the way, I think I'm going to get the first B in my school's history) and kind of pull through it. Oh well. You can expect lots of ranting. I wasn't sure whether to do double or triple science. I was definitely going to do triple until my stupid form tutor (she's not that stupid) told me I should do double and Geography. Oh well. What's done is done.

And now I have the lovely weekend to look forward to. Tomorrow shall consist of a lot of sleeping and making clay things, and Sunday shall involve going up to Cambridge to get my brother back down. There's a good cheese market there. And I'll have to slot in homework somewhere.

Oh yeah, I meant to tell you last week. For World Book Day, I ended up going as Little Red Riding Hood (basket and all) and my friend went around as a wolf. The winner was really good. She went as some person out of a Jane Austen book, and she bought like a ten quid dress from Oxfam, a pocket watch and had an umbrella. I can't remember who she was though. High five for the Gryffindor cloak though.

And happy Red Nose Day (if it exists over there). Naturally, my school was all snobbish and didn't do anything. Apparently we've hit the maximum number of mufti days, so that's a shame. But we do a bunch of other things.. like cake sales.. because we lack creativity. Actually, you get that one class who decides to do something really good like hold a pancake race (though no one turned up). Though our lovely school Amnesty club's apparently holding a Secret Policeman's Ball sometime, which sounds pretty good..

So, if you are alive, hope you have a good weekend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Yar, today's my birthday. I'm 17, woo! And I still don't have a license -__-
Everyone seems to have vanished from the face of the planet. Except Karen.
I'm home now, so that's really nice. I made it home in time for One Act auditions, which went really well.
I got the role of "Mom" in "Drugs Are Bad" whihc is a really fun, albeit short, one act. It's about 15 minutes in length. I'm not complaining, though. It means rehearsals will only go to 4 o'clock. So that's nice.

Today's post will be short, as I have to prepare for the remainder of the day. I gotta shower, then pack some things together, and then load up in the car and head out to Silver Springs to see a Kansas concert with my dad, then go to DeLand to the band property for some birthday celebrations with family, then off somewhere else for the night, and then come home late Sunday. WooHoo!

Well, good bye dears.

Oh, Karen, for the book character question thing: I would most likely be Hermione. Mostly because I have the Griffindor cloak already. That or Violet Baudelaire from Series of Unfortunate Events.
Okay, now post is done

BYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYE! <(I pulled a nerimon)

Where are you all?

Challenge: Reply to THIS post so I know you're alive.

(Which I hope you all are)

The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread is Sliced Cheese and Low Fat Margarine

No! I have to write an entry! I HAVE TO.

It has been one entry since my last entry. Well this can't be good news. Well, this is pretty much a rant entry because my week hasn't been terribly good.

Bad things this week

• It's only been sunny for one day (today). I missed the sun a lot. And not only cause it makes my hair a lighter shade of brown, because it makes me happy.
• There's only been one other post! Kind of made me a bit sad.
  
• We have no more apples in the house (makes me sad, naturally.)
  
• Why are these bullet points so big? They're bigger than the actual letters.
  
• We had to do circuits in P.E.. It made me want to die.
• We have a 1km run next week. I may just have to have an asthma attack. Ohh dearr, what a shame.
• The fingerprint system at school sucks. It's not letting me into any entrances to the building. So it was really cold the other day and I just had to wait five minutes to ask someone to use their stupid finger to open a door for me. Maybe I need to practise pressing my finger down?
  
• I was punished for not talking in class, because my Maths teacher is stupid. If you ever feel like murdering anyone, feel free to murder/stab/shoot/poison/gas/rob/graffiti/egg/light a match at/throw broken glass at Michael Williams who lives in Surrey. Apparently he has a purple car (which of course will not be keyed/scratched/damaged in any way). (I am also not responable for his death)
  

Good things this week

• I made really nice cakes in Food Tech (but they're so sweet I'm certain they'll give me diabetes. Don't you love how food is the first thing on my good list?)
  
• We've started doing 'Educating Rita' (Willy Russell) in English. It's really good! The only other thing by Willy Russell that I've heard of is Blood Brothers. E-Rita's a treat for the class because we complained that all the books we had done were miserable (Macbeth, Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea).
• My friend and I swapped shoes for a week. I like her shoes. They make me look tall (I look like an eleven year old, apparently).
  
• My Maths punishment wasn't that bad: I had to stand outside the staffroom for half an hour. Not so bad because I pretty much spoke to everyone who passed me, and I managed to see some teachers I needed to talk to. Suffering is optional.
  
• I got a sticker in History! Yay!!
• I've decided that when I'm like old, and 90, and wrinkly like a raisin, I'm going to make coloured glue sticks.
  
• It's World Book Day on Thursday 5th March. My question for you: What would you dress up as? If you're at all interested, I'm going as Little Red Riding Hood (gingham cloth and basket included) and my a-lot-taller-than-me-friend is being a wolf (yay!)
  

I haven't heard from any of you, so fingers crossed you're all still alive out there. Apologies for edging into Saturday. Have a good weekend
(Oh Mel! Glad things are going well for you. And that your ring is uberly pretty. Hope your next post is from home - if you're not at home already)

I just wanna put a bonnet on you!

A quote from myself today. My mom fell asleep while she was visiting me today and she was all snuggled up with my massive teddy bear and baby blanket. It was precious.

Anyway, nothing much has changed from my last post. I'm still in the hospital, but I'm in a different room now, and it's bigger than the cell I was in before, lol.

On a super happy note, my boyfriend came to visit me yesterday when he got out of school, and he gave me a promise ring! I was so happy, and I cried, and it was great, and it's beautiful<3
He stayed at the hospital with me for a few hours and we walked around the first level and explored the awesome little pirate ship playground, the little castle with the little tv playing old school Disney cartoons, and the gift shop, and Andrew bought a tiny magnetic travel chess set and taught me how to play, but he beat me lol. I did well for a n00b though =]

Hopefully I'm going home soon, but I still don't know when soon is. Here's hoping my next post is from home.

That's all I have for today. Hope to hear from you all soon. Best Wishes!
<3 Melissa

You can kill the dreamer but you can't kill the dreams

It seems this week has been the week of disease.

Anyway. There's not a lot to write today, which is a shame really, since this has been the first time in weeks I've managed to write on the right day.

I haven't really done very much over this half term break. I've only met up with friends, but I can't believe a week has gone so quickly!

Hope you all have a good week. Hopefully our post count will be up soon

Let me go in

Let me go in- Quietdrive

Hello hello. It is yet another Wednesday. And although this week has been dragging on and on, I feel like I wrote my last blog just yesterday. Weird.

So guess who's sick? Again. I'll tell you what. My immune system really hates me. =[ It's quite unfortunate.

Tomorrow is Advanced Repertory Theater's first Improv show. I am so nervous. I mean, we've had absolutely no time to put this together. It's been assembly assembly assembly and now all the sudden there's an improv show. It's like it sprang from the ground. Hopefully it will go over well. Keep your fingers crossed for me, okay?

There's not too much else to report on. I've been having my ups and downs all week. I'm such a mess sometimes. But I've got the uncanny knack of being able to pick myself right back up again. Not that I have much choice.

Other than that I've just been hanging out with some pretty cool people. I've gotten into conversations with people I never thought I would care to converse with and talked about subjects I thought would be trapped inside the dark corners of my mind. It seems like the more senior year goes on the less I care. About appearances, image, trying to hold to the one that's put before me. And I've been spending a lot of time just trying to have fun. I'm pretty successful.

Alright girlies. Two more days til the weekend. Here we go!
