"What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork"

Pearl Bailey (American singer and actress).

I totally forgot about yesterday!! So yeah, sorry to intrude on your day, Melissa. I promise to be quick.

I know I haven't posted for ages, so I'm just basically saying hi, I'm alive, and am reading (the lack of) posts. I have just been busy with school. I've somehow managed to scrape up an average mark for French and German (good mark for me since I've only been doing them for half a year, and the everyone else has been doing them for 1-2 years), a good mark in Chemistry (85% isn't that bad, right? Average was 54%), top mark in Art (More explained later) and A+ in Geography. I'm not failing too badly *Thumbs up.* Only there are more assessments to come (Boo *Thumbs down*)

Oh, and I am cross with a classmate of mine. I was talking to my friend, and she comes up to me and says, "You know, everyone thinks you're a third (Aged 11). You should layer your hair," she said, reparting it for me, "And then cut it, and then get a fringe or something." Firstly, it's rude, and I'd usually forgive her, but she touched and reparted my hair without my permission (pet peeve - why does everyone have this obsession with hair? It's just strands of protein.)

And because this post needs something interesting, this happened last week:

I picked up the phone and the guy on the other end goes, "Hi, is Paul [my dad] there?" And I said "No, he's out. Can I take a message?" And he says "Just tell him his friend John from Uni called [as in they're like old oooolllddd friends]." So I replied "Okay, will do." And then he goes: "Is this Paul's son?"
At this point, I was practially giving him the finger down the phone. He thought I was my brother?! Bad enough people think I'm my sister over the phone, but this is going too far.

Yeah.. Happy V-Day to you all! And happy half term (If you get half term breaks)
(And apologies again, Melissa. I miss blogging!)

P.S. Lysky, I have zilch ideas lol. Cross ye fingers and hope everyone' still alive?

Careful

by Guster. Who just so happens to be amazing.

I am so worried. There's one day between my last post o_o This cannot be a good sign.
Hopefully next week will be better?
I think we should rangle up some ideas to bring this back to life. Anyone got some?

Tomorrow is a day I have been long awaiting. Senior Skip Day. Of course I'm not just going to have an unexcused. I care far too much. Nope. My dad's calling me in with a swollen spleen. XD
"Will you call me out?"
"As what, a skipper? I'm sorry, Alyssa won't be in today because she's skipping."
"I don't know... tell them I have a swollen spleen or something."
"Okay, that's exactly what I'll tell them." and he will.
So I'm going to be spending the day with a fellow nerdfighter in the kansas city area. We probably would never have met if it weren't for the nerdfighter gathering here. And that would be terribly sad.

So in other news my drama teacher went completely CRAZY today. I mean, completely. Right now we're working on sketchs to encourage elementary students on their Kansas State Assessment tests and we only have two rehearsals. One was today. One is Saturday. Well one of the girls in the class can't go to the Saturday rehearsal because she's got college visits so the teacher said no to letting her do the show. So later we're discussing someone else who wasn't present in class who was to play guitar and we decided we'd replace him since he wasn't there and all and there's other people who can play guitar. The teacher FREAKS out that he HAS to be in it. Even though that's completely unfair to the girl. You can't make a rule for one person and break it for another. But she did and in the process she made two girls cry. Later on she also insulted someone while they were on stage. This guy was playing the "Cool guy" and she remarks quite loudly, "Why is he playing the cool guy?" I was like O_O I mean, that's just completely uncalled for. Maybe I'm reading her all wrong, but she lost a chunk of my respect today.

Well. That's all I got for you. I get the rest of the week off since tomorrow is senior skip day. Friday and Monday are teacher confrences. So for the rest of you who don't get a nice break, just take a deep breath. You'll get there soon I promise!
