I Believe in Fairies!

Yesterday I was really worried for physics, because I'm really sick with a cold and all that. I'd texted Sam to tell Otto to leave me alone, but I wasn't really sure how that was going to play out. Luckily, he did, although Ian ended up being my lab partner (after all my weeks of praying before labs, this day, the one where I felt so shitty, had to be the one) and of course I got some teasing for that. And then near the end of class I was in a really crappy mood and not understanding the lab, so he came over and was like "Are you ok? Do you need a hug?" and I didn't really say no but I think I implied it. And then he kind of apologized and said he hoped my day wouldn't be as awful as it had been. Seriously, those two can be really nice and sweet one second and then immature jackasses the next.

So I had an okay day, other than how shitty I felt, and I texted Sam to see if he and Cat wanted to hang out since the all-spec party was a no-go. They said it was a good idea, so we all dragged our sick selves to Cat's and settled in for a night of nothing. I brought chocoholic chunk ice cream from Handel's, along with my leftover Yat's from Wednesday, and we all collapsed on Cat's couch and watched Family Guy, Jeopardy, and Normal Adolescent Behavior (a really crappy movie on Lifetime about a group of six teenagers that have sex with each other and no one else). Sam dished on his girl problems (he really wants to break up with drama queen Michelle, but if he does she'll cry and spread rumors about him) and later flopped on top of Cat and I (his butt was practically in my face and he was really squishing my stomach), which was really unfun. And we were talking about prom, and I was saying how I didn't know if anyone would ask me, so Sam said he'd go with me as my back-up if no one asks me. He does not want to go with Michelle. That was nice, though I do hope someone asks me.

Today I went to sports training (the last one!) and almost passed out cause of how sick I am, so I got to cut practicing short by about ten minutes. I stayed at home all day doing crap on the computer, unfortunately, and right now I'm texting Eli (though it's not really Eli, it's some other guy....too many sexual innuendoes). I guess he got a snuggie (!) and we were talking about that, and then suddenly that conversation ended and it was just really confusing. I have no clue what is going on. I am waaay too sick to figure it out.

Damn, I am becoming a beast at Yahoo!Answers. I can spend like three hours on there. I don't really ask many questions but I answer a lot. It's not even fun, more like a way for me to waste time in between sneezes.

Strawberry Whore-Cake

I've realized I don't really care what went on on Saturday night. I'm really kind of over it. It wasn't a big deal. Plus, my stupid overreacting earned me a year plan from Otto: to have me high, drunk, and get my virginity lost (not by him, as he said, and as I would prefer). So basically I am going to be living this down for a long while. I need to lighten up!

Strawberry Whore-Cake is the name I gave a picture of Strawberry Shortcake in this dollar coloring book I got at Target. She's in a short little prom dress with her hair up and she's LOST A SHOE! And she says "Oops!" with her hand up by her mouth. I can't really describe it, but it is whorish. So I colored it like so. She's very slutty, that little trollop! I bet Huckleberry Pirate would do her in a heartbeat. You can tell she puts out.

Anyway, life's been going. I have a killer mega sore throat and I actually took a nap today. My mom doesn't want me to go to school tomorrow, but I kind of do, if only because I'm starting to look forward to physics cause of the silly stuff that goes on in my front right-hand corner. I was a bit annoyed at first, but I'm starting to find Otto's stupid sexual comments really funny. I still don't want to have sex with him (inside joke alert), but I'm dealing with the classtime.

I got to talk to Eli today! I feel weird being so excited but I'm just kind of sick of all the people I've been hanging out with lately, all the Asterisk people. I mean, they're still my good friends, but I want to hang out with someone who isn't part of all the drama. Plus, I never see him anymore unless it's by chance in the hallways. We've been texting a bunch (and I mean A BUNCH....like forty texts apiece yesterday, maybe. kind of a lot.) but he's so positive and fun and laid-back. Not like most of my friends who get too hung up over everything and are nosy and starting to get annoying (not you, Sarah! if you ever read this!).

Y=FML

Blech, screwed up yesterday and forgot to post. I'm just going to post when I get the chance cause last night was a bitch to try to get anything done. Too much to do!

I got my schedule semi-fixed; independent study photo first period, euro second...and still espanol third and precal ninth. FML!!!! I miss Ms. Wendt!!! SOOO nice, such a good teacher. Independent study was awkward...I don't really know anyone else in the class except for Meredith, who was in my advanced drawing and whom I didn't really talk to very much (but she's pretty nice), and I didn't know where to sit so it was really awkward. And I felt so out-of-place! I can't wait to just start taking pictures and developing and being awesome. Then again, I really need to work on actually taking good pictures...I waited until the last minute a lot last year so my stuff wasn't so hot. Walking into euro yesterday after recieving the word that that was my new class was SO NICE....everyone was like "DELANEY!!!!" and really happy that I'd gotten in the class. You know, for the second time that day. YAY.

Currently I am helping Eli find purple skinny jeans. He wanted the same ones from Delia's that I just bought ($15 on clearance!! w00t!) but they don't have his size in his inseam. I think it would be actually insanely rad for him to have the same pants that I do, but it would kind of make more people think he's gay. And he doesn't want to be like this one guy...who is too hipster for his own good...and wears uggs with skinny jeans...and is totally straight (and uber tall!)...and is very, very hipster (cool style, but too "put together").

I might have to take on this speaking part in spec...yeah, not what I wanted, but I guess Emily thought Sam was kicking her out for missing a night or something (??) and quit. So I might be stepping in as Mercedes. I was going to memorize lines for tomorrow but I had to blog...soo...looks like I'll be doing that all day tomorrow. I already know most of them anyway, I think.

In IB Physics today Allison, Amy, and I messed around and drew stupid pictures. Gibson was showing us something about equations...*yawn*...and trying to make them linear (y=mx+b). And I wrote Y=FML on the top of my page, all legit-like, where ML is the x-coordinate and F is the slope. Duh. We had a lovely time in IB Land...like usual.

Dia De Enero

I've heard a billion good things about The Tudors, so I started watching it tonight. Just the first episode, but I liked it and plan on watching more. I liked the costumes and all the history, as well as the political intrigue, but I did get annoyed at all the BOOBS. I don't mind seeing guys with their shirts off (and in fact, I really like that part of the three sex scenes in the first episode), but I don't really like seeing all the shirtless girls. Ugh. Still, I'll at least be watching a few more episodes. I love, love, love Britishness (accents! *swoon*) and history and everything else about the show. I'm a really big Dexter fan (though we don't get Showtime; I have to watch it online), and I like what I've seen of Weeds, so I'm thinking that this is probably just as good as those other Showtime shows.

Had spec practice today. Junior Spectacular is a program that raises money for prom, and it consists of four one-act plays written, directed, and acted by juniors at my school. I'm a writer/director of one, but more about that some other time. Anyway, I had a good time even though there was some animosity about the fact that I've missed three of our practices in the past two weeks. Frankly, I had no control: the first time, I was out of town; the second, my dad had to take relatives to Chicago and took my car, and so I couldn't go; the third, I had to babysit my sister. Since I live a half hour away it's really hard for me, and no one seems to understand my familial obligations and the sheer logistical problems of the whole thing. Whatever, I'm fine with it.

Out of all my friends, I haven't seen Eli in two weeks!! And that's totally a bummer, because we're getting to be really good friends, and his utter hilarity doesn't really come through via text message. Other than that, I think I've gotten to see most of my friends, even cilts, so it was a pretty satisfying break for all involved. However, I still have to finish my book for English, and write the stinking reader responses. AND memorize radians for precal. Ugh. Homework over break. Vomit.

Luckily, I can listen to Shakira--Dia De Enero is one of my favorite songs...soo pretty...and it's January (enero). I used some stick tape to tape my laptop lid together, and it seems to be working pretty well, better than scotch tape was.

One of my favorite things in the world is driving home on a dreary day and just listening to music and being all at peace with the world. I can't listen to anything too depressing or else I get very moody and introspective (in a BAAAD way...I really start hating my life...), but chill songs are always good bets. The Decemberists are perfect, as well as Sufjan Stevens.
