POST! And review of Avatar.

YAY FOR POSTING STUFFS.

- When I was at the mall on Friday, I got a kids' pizza at this random Italian place, and when I didn't get a prize I asked, "Don't I get a toy?" And so the lady glared at me and gave me this really crappy stamper with a chicken on it. It didn't work that well, and it looked like the chicken got beheaded. Abby and I, being...Abby and I, decided to give it to Fraver, since a) it's a chicken, and b) it's beheaded, which is even more Fraver-y. So on Monday, we both walked awkwardly into his room before prime time. He got done talking to some random person, looked up, and went, "Well, this oughta be interesting." Abby and I looked at each other and mouthed stuff and made faces for a little bit, but finally I just handed it to him and Abby went, "Here." I explained that it was a beheaded chicken stamp, and he just grinned at said, "Cool. A beheaded chicken stamp. I wish I could virtualize it and stamp people's essays...hmmmm..." Then we pretty much left. :D
- Speaking of stuff for Fraver, Kaliyan sent me a virtual gift, and it plays the chicken dance in the background and has a bunch of chickens doing random things, and there's a poem that goes: "Your excitement is building / as you're eying your gift. / You rip at the wrapping, / the box lid you lift. / Your heart will race, / your pulse will quicken, / when you see / your rubber chicken!" Then, at the bottom, it says, "From a good friend comes this chicken! Isn't it just Finger-Lickin'?" I think I should send it to Fraver. :D
- Um. I worked on TT. I'm still working on TT. I kinda wanna do something else, something with AU in it...mostly inspired by Avatar, which was freakin' amazing (:D) but also cuz I've been in the mood for AU for a while now. (:
- OH MY GOD. So, you know Denali? The amazingest horse EVER that I rode at camp? MY MOM IS BUYING HER FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

MOVIE SUMMARY/REVIEW, WITH SPOILERS.

Earth has no more nature on it, not much of anything, and it sucks. So the people are going to this new world, called Pandora, where there's this mineral, conveniently named "unobtainium," which is really valuable. There're three types of people on Pandora: army dogs, who just wanna shoot everyone, get the stuff, settle in the planet, and be done; businesspeople, who just want the unobtainium, and scientists, who want to study the lifeforms and learn their culture and ask politely if we can live alongside them.

This guy, Jake Sully, got in some something with his twin brother. His brother died and he lost the use of his legs. So he was sent to Pandora instead of his brother, who was a PhD scientist and was going to study the life on Pandora. Jake was a soldier in the navy. Anyway, Jake gets there and all the scientists are like "Rawr. You're a soldier. Go away. I want your brother, not you."

So Jake goes and talks to the sergeant of the army, who decides that if Jake gives him the information he recieves through his diplomatic-ness, he'll pay for the expensive surgery that will help Jake regain use of his legs.

Jake's mind is then attached to an "Avatar," or a body that's made up of both his DNA and DNA of the aliens who live on the planet, and he soon gets lost in the woods on an expedition to sample the life on Pandora. An alien woman finds him and rescues him from the strange, wild animals that are attacking him, and Jake follows her. She protests, saying that he doesn't belong and should go back to his own world, but soon the seeds from the aliens' sacred tree fall all over Jake. The woman takes this as a sign and allows him in.

Jake learns about their culture and language, and soon takes part in a sort of coming-of-age ritual, and bonds with a flying beast.

Sooner or later, the army gets tired of waiting and brings out the gas, bombs, guns, etc. and Jake rushes to warn his new family, The People, so that they can evacuate and save themselves. His teacher/savior/...MEGA SPOILER: /mate gets pissed off at him and yells at him for knowing all along that the army was going to attack them.

Everyone explodes with anger, etc., etc., and the army blows up the tree. Everyone's crying and Jake's (human, scientist) friend is really injured. So he takes her and another scientist in a hover plane thing, meanwhile trying to figure out how the heck to get The People's trust back.

Then he has an idea: a really crazy, life-threatening, INSANE idea. (ANOTHER MEGA SPOILER, PRETTY MUCH TILL THE END OF THE SUMMARY) He remembers that there have only been five People since "the first songs" that have bonded with this huge flying thing that's a huge, powerful, awesome being that kills the little flying things that the other People bond with.

So he uses his flying thing to fly above the huge flying thing (AHHH. I wish I could remember what they were actually called, instead of calling them these things. D:) and jumps onto the huge flying thing. The huge flying thing tries to kill him, which is what the flying things (in general) do when they bond with you (weird, huh? xD) and he bonds with it so he's all awesome.

He tells the People to get all the other clans to come to one spot, so they do, and then the army fights them and they almost lose. But Jake prays to Ewa, the magical goddess thing, and Ewa makes all the evil animals (the ones that Jake almost got killed by, earlier) kill the army.

Jake has a second Crowning Moment Of Awesome (first one was bonding with the HFT) when he totally demolishes the sergeant, and his mate has a Crowning Moment Of Awesome when she saves Jake, who got "unplugged"/put back into his human form by the sergeant right before the sergeant died.

And then the dude behind me goes, "WHOA, she's HUGE!" cuz the aliens are all 12 feet tall and she was holding tiny little limp-leg like people hold toddlers/babies, and it was funny. (:

Then Jake has this ceremony thing where Ewa will either put his consciousness in his human body, his alien body, or nowhere (he dies). It goes into his alien body (duh) and the movie ends with this dramatic opening of his alien eyes.

And it's happily ever after. Even though (way up there ^^) Jake's friend dies by going through the same ceremony as Jake did, except her wounds were too bad. So she just woke up (barely) and went, "I'm with her now. Ewa is real. :)" and died.

The end.

SUMMARY WITHOUT SPOILERS.

Jake Sully, whose twin brother died, goes to a planet (in his brother's stead) called Pandora, where his mind is attached to an "Avatar," or a body that's made up of both his DNA and DNA of the aliens who live on the planet. He's caught up in a confusing situation as the army ("GUNS GUNS GUNS! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! KILL KILL KILL!"), the businesspeople ("We just want money. Let's get the valuable mineral and jet."), and the scientists ("The smartest approach is to learn about the aliens and their culture, so that we can peacefully agree to live among them and perhaps collect a little of the mineral along the way.") all butt heads.

He gets lost in the woods while on an expedition to take some samples from the plant life and is taken to the aliens' "Hometree," and soon becomes enraptured by their culture.

But SHE WISHES!! SHE WISHES!!!

Today, I went to the Mall of America with my honors choir to sing a concert. We basically just went shopping (I got Christmas presents for my mom and some friends) and then sang for like an hour and stuff. Then we got lunch. Which is when it got hilarious.

So, I got some pizza from this Italian pizza place and sat down at the table with Allison, Alex, Danielle, Abby, Katie, and Genesis, and we were just kinda eating for a while until this lady at the table next to us turned around. And thennn:

Lady: Are you SANTA??? *to Alex, who was wearing a Santa hat*
Alex: Uhm, no. Santa lives in the North Pole.
Lady: Well...but...you're HERE!!!!!
Alex: I'm not--
Lady: SO WHERE'S SANTA???
Alex: I don't know, but I'm not--
Lady: WHERE'S YOUR BEARD, SANTA?
Alex: I'm not Santa Clause. I'm a GIRL.

Later we decided that it would've been funnier if she'd said "I shaved it off." :P

Lady: *silence*
Allison: I'M a reindeer! :) *wearing reindeer antlers*
Lady: OH. OH. OH. A REINDEER!!!! :-o So you ARE Santa!!!
Alex: No, I'm--
Lady: DO YOU HAVE ELVES??? WHERE'RE THE ELVES????
Me: Katie's an elf!
Katie (who's really short and elf-y looking): Shhhhh!! Don't reveal my secret identity!!
Lady: OOH. You're Santa. *nods solemnly to Alex*
Alex: ...Oh...kay. Sure.
Lady: SO CAN YOU FLY???? *to Allison*
Allison: No, but I wish I could...
Some Dude: Of course she can't fly!
Lady: But SHE WISHES!!!! SHE WISHES!!!!
*tears come streaming from our eyes as we try to laugh silently*
Lady: *sees Allison's shopping bag* Did you go SHOPPING?
Allison: Yes. Yes we did.
Lady: :-o What did you GET??
Allison: Well, I got this cute necklace and some lip gloss.
Lady: Do you put it on your FAAAAACEE? *like, wipes her face with her hand*
Allison: ...The...necklace?
Lady: Can I SEEE?
Allison: ...Sure... *puts on the necklace* Um, that's the necklace.
Lady: Whaddabout the OTHER stuff?? *wide eyes*
Allison: *picks up a lip gloss* This?
Lady: Yes. Do you put it on your FAAAAAAACEE? *smears her hand on her face again*
Allison: Sure, I put it on my faaace. *smears her hand on her face too*
Lady: OHHH. Did you get SHAMPOO???? For your FAAAAAAAACEEE?
Allison: No, just lip gloss.
Lady: Do you have any MORE??
Allison: Yeah, this whole bag's lipgloss...
Lady: HOW BOUT YOU? DID YOU GO SHOPPING? *to Danielle*
Danielle: Yeah?
Lady: What did YOU geeeeeeet?
Danielle: This... *holds up*
Lady: Do you have any MORE??
Danielle: No.
Lady: *looks* YOU LIE!!! COUPON!!!!! *takes and holds up coupon*
Danielle: I--But I didn't--
Lady: WHAT'S THAT? *points to my hand*
Me: It's a chicken stamp. It's dead.
Chicken: *looks like it has no head, so is technically "dead"*
Lady: THE CHICKEN'S DEAD???? CHICKEN!!! BUGAWWWWWK!! BUGAAAWWWWKK!!!!
Me: Umm. Yeah...

-Some time later-

Danielle: *gets up to throw her food away*
Lady: *hurriedly gets up too, follows*
Danielle: *gets to the trash can and starts throwing things away*
Lady: *bumps with tray* You're in my WAAAAYYYY.
Danielle: Um, I was just--
Lady: *bumps again* You're in my WAAAAAAAYYYY!!
Danielle: I just have to put my stuff in the garbage can--
Lady: GET OUT OF MY WAAAAAAYYY!!!!!! *bumps again*
Danielle: OKAY!! *goes to a different garbage can*

-Later-

Lady: So what did YOOUUU get?
Me: Um, some lotion for my mom and--
Allison: *mutters amusedly* Do you put it on your faaaaace?
Lady: DO YOU PUT IT ON YOUR FAAAAACE??
Allison and Me: *more tears*
Lady: *wide eyes* Well? WELL?? WELL????
Me: Um, I guess you could, but it's mostly for your hands...and it's for my mom, so...
Lady: Do you have any MORE?
Me: Well, I have some [censored because it's a secret. Shhhhhh].
Lady: Can I SEEEE?
Me: They're kind of--
Lady: CAN I SEEEEEEEEEE?

And then we had to go. But it was SO FUNNY. (:

Oh. And then Genesis stole some of my Mountain Dew, because I was busy cracking up at the lady. And...um...Genesis drank like half of my large Mountain Dew. And got, like, drunk off the caffeine (she's EXTREMELY susceptible to caffeine). It was...so funny, but...so...O_O I had to distract her and steer her to the bus, and then to top it off Kelsey and Abby kept trying to interfere and stuff because they just thought it was hilarious (which it was, but still. They don't know how to deal when Genesis gets drunk off Mtn Dew). Kelsey like walked up and was like, "The ceiling's sparkly!!! Look, an Edward poster."

I was like, "Cuz that's so helpful, Kelsey, to get her more hyper. Let go please." Cuz she was, like, grabbing onto Genesis's arm and dragging her forward. Which was so not helping. And Kelsey looks at me like, "What am I doing wrong?" So then I just walked a little faster and we got to the bus. And she sat down, while Kelsey kept going, "Edward's on the bus! He's right there, Genesis!" which made me want to punch her in the face.

So theeen Genesis came down from her high (temporarily) on the bus, while everyone else was talking and mimicking the Mall Lady, and it was fun. And when we got back to school, Paige came like running at me and Genesis yelling to me, "Smart move, Em!! Stupid, stupid, stupid." And then we calmed her down (she got high again because a) we were all getting hyper and cracking up cuz of the Mall Lady thing and b) Kelsey came back and...just...ugh).

Anyway. That's it. (: Great and hilarious day.

"But SHE WISHES!! SHE WISHES!!!" (Peezowt.)

Quotes!
- Too many to even record on here. Read the post. :P

Fruit Salad!

I really have nothing to say, but a lot of quotes and stuff. So yeah.
Oh, and the title's cuz today was primarily fruit-themed, plus Thpenthie got the Wiggles on my mind... :PP

- In English today, we were talking about thesis statements and outlines and brainstorming and stuff, and Fraver pulled up a screen that said 'Watermelons must be banned.' He then said, "Pull up a Pages file. That's the thesis statement--that's YOUR thesis statement. Brainstorm." Then he sat at his desk for like 2 minutes, watching and waiting...but THEN he started clicking the slideshow ahead and reciting this like monologue. It was so weird. He was going on and on about how watermelons are taking over our lives and stuff. And it was weird.
- "Well, Emily, you got the highest score I think I've ever given on the comma quiz. Nearly perfect, in fact, and you only had about 9 marks...compared to the several dozen on everyone else's. *wink* I do believe you got nearly 150%." -OH MY GOD I GOT 149% ON THE QUIZ IN FRAVER'S CLASS!!!! *spazzes out* :D :D :D :D But he seriously does hate me, and he's trying to lower my grade as much as possible. Ahaha, he's got it down to a 102%... But AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!
- Today at lunch, Noah and Patrick (the "homo duo" that aren't really gay, but are FREAKIN' HILARIOUS.) were being weird and freakin' hilarious, and Noah took out a banana. He was making a ton of banana jokes, and then he held it out to me and was like, "You want my banana?" "No." "You know you want my banana." <-in this creepy voice that still managed to make me crack up. "No, I really don't." "*throws at me* Oh my GOD, Emily's touching my banana!!!" Cue cracking up.
- So THEN, Patrick steals the banana and puts it into this plastic bag and says, REALLY, REALLY loudly, "I put the banana in the bag." I know, super perverted, but the way he said it...
- Kaliyan apparently punched me in the arm today when I was walking out to my bus. I totally didn't notice. xDD
- When I was walking out to the bus, Phil came up to me and threw this banana at my face. While mentally laughing at the coincidence (first lunch, then this), I looked down at the ground to see that the banana had broken in half. But it wasn't like ripped open; it just broke. So I picked a piece of it up and it was hard as ROCK. So then Phil and I kicked the rest of the banana down the sidewalk and finally stepped on it. It shattered. It was freaky.
- Speaking of Phil, he's an Epic Hockey Player. And when he was center (in floor hockey in gym class), so was I, and I totally kicked his butt. And it was freaking AMAZING. (: So yeah. I'm just really happy about that. Plus, Mr. Miller was our goalie and no one could score on him (except the one time he purposely shot it in, to make the other team feel better about the score being 9-0.) So for once, gym was fun. (:
- Yeahhh. I have a lot of quotes today, so I'll letcha people read those. (: Peezowt.

- "*eating fruit snacks* Guess what this looks like?" -MybestfriendNoah. "What?" -Me. "*shows*" "Oh, god, Noah. You would." (It looked like a...yeah, I bet you can probably guess.) "Yup!" ...5 MINUTES LATER... "Guess what THIS looks like?" "I don't even wanna s--" "A strawberry! *shows* Ahaha. :P"
- "Wait, so...my boyfriend's having a homo convo with Noah. Does that make him bi?" -Steph. Yes, I believe it does.
- "'Watermelon must be banned.' That's my thesis statement. That's YOUR thesis statement. ... It's not a choice; you're born into it." -Fraver. Ohmygod, today was so funny. But awkward. But funny.

- "Yeah, shit! It's like... shit. Burn that shit." -Creepy dude in the Tickle Me Elmo video. Quoted by Thpenthie.

Ahaha, he's got it down to a 102%...
- "It's HARD!!" -Phil. No, it's not cuz it was a that's-what-she-said moment, it's cuz it was frozen solid.

The ACTs and (very little) Other Stuff.

Um. So. Today I took the ACT. Which most of you know. And it was actually way easier than I thought, except for some of the math problems. But we haven't learned any ad.trig yet (we've only learned the basics) so I had no idea how to do some harder trig. And I don't know how to solve for cos, sin, and tan. and whatever. But that's not my fault. So there.

English was easy, finished with 12 minutes to spare (since I had to read and re-read stuff. Don't judge me. :P) and a lot of the questions made me think, "Ummm, DUH?!?!" It was pretty much just like the MCA, just a little harder (only SOME of the questions were completely stupid and obvious! :O).

Then was the math test, which I finished with 4 minutes to spare. I used those 4 minutes to try (and fail epically) to figure out the advanced trig stuff without any knowledge of the uses of cos and sin and tan and stuff. So yeah. It started off with the easy stuff I learned in like 6th grade, like polynomials and factoring and (can you even believe it?) exponents and "|x+-x|-|2x-xn| = ?" equations. Really. Seriously. Honestly.

Then there was a 10-minute break, where we all went into the hallway to get drinks and stuffs. When I got back, the girl sitting to the right of me (Mikaela) turned towards me and went, "So, you're either a really young-looking freshie, or maybe--it's a stretch, but maybe a sophomore...even though I've never seen you before...or you're in middle school. I'm thinking middle school. Right?" I was kinda caught off-guard, cuz up till then I just got weird "What-the-heck-are-you-doing-here??" looks from the other people. But I nodded anyway. Then the girl sitting in front of me, Cassie, turned around and asked, "Umm, so how old ARE you? Cuz like...you know?" So I told her I was 12. Cass and Mikaela looked at each other like O_O and then we kept talking. Mostly about high school and stuffs. (They're both sophies, and really nice. Mikaela's funny.) And then Mrs. Whatever-her-name-is (totally forgot. The test overseer lady, who's a science teacher) came in and we started testing again.

Reading test was next; I finished with like 15-ish minutes to spare. Just had to read (average of) 2-page-long essays/stories and answer questions about them and what was written right there, in the paper, word-for-word. There were essays about the hydrocycle and about some Chinese lady who wrote a cool novel and whatever.

Then science; I had about 6 minutes to spare with that one. There were some questions about the scientific table of elements, which I didn't know (we're doing that stuff towards the end of the year, so I haven't memorized it yet), but mostly it was just biology, physics, and some genetics.

Then we took a survey thingie, and I went outside, called my mom, and talked to Mikaela some more (Cassie's mom was already there to pick her up). She jokingly ranted about me finishing my reading test before she did, and how that was SO unfair since I was so young and whatever, and talked about which teachers were good at JHS and which ones weren't so good, and stuff. Mrs. Whatever is supposedly a bad teacher. Haha. Then her parents came to pick her up and she left.

My mom finally got there at about 10 to noon, and we went to Office Max to get me a new graph paper notebook for math (my old one died horribly, along with everyone else's. Basically everyone got the same kind of notebook, and it SUCKED. :P) and some awesome highlighter-colored paper (with matching Sharpies!! Haha.) and stuff. Then we went to Bruegger's Bagels and I got some sandwiches and chips and cookies and stuff. And it was delicioso. Then we went to Caribou and got some extra-awesome-chocolatized hot chocolate. It was also delicioso.

Aaaaand then I came home and chilled and talked to my brother and sister (Spencer and Kali) and kicked butt in some Facebook UNO and then Kali left :( and Rae came on :) and I talked to Spencie more.

And then I finished this post, FINALLY.

Peezowt.

Hmm. Random Dream. Cuz I feel like it.

I had it again. My favorite dream of all time. Just instead of walking on the skinny path to the blacktop (at recess in 4th grade), it was walking home from school. And it was almost a prediction, just...not really.

Whatever. Here's a super detailed account, since I'm SO HAPPY!!!!! :D

MBD nods and says to have a good day. I grunt back and disembark the bus, clutching my sweatshirt to my chest as the snowflakes drift to the ground, covering its surface with white. I run towards the mailbox and quickly open its frozen lid, grab the mail, and slam it shut again, then start trudging towards home. I suddenly, and quite randomly, lean forward and push off, forward and slightly upward. Then I totally can't explain this part, except that...Ugh. My push propells me towards my house and I pick up speed as I go. The snow is swirling more rapidly around me now, as if cheering me on, and the wind picks up, rushing over my shoulders and through my fingers, caressing, soothing instead of freezing. When I reach the edge of my driveway, I move my arms as if swimming and...do whatever I've been doing, that has no description that I can think of...up to my garage door opener. I level myself so that I'm upright again and punch in the code, then sink towards the ground.

And then today, in real life, I did the same thing (was chewing my gum, the exact same way and the exact same flavor [which I'd never tried before today, so I dunno how I knew how it tasted], walking the same way, thinking the same things)...and yeah. BUT THAT WAS MY FAVORITEST DREAM EVER!!!!!! And you know how you can't feel stuff in dreams, which is why you pinch yourself? I felt stuff in that one (both last night's and 4th grade's, probably more so in 4th grade's).

I could've (at the time, of course) sworn on my life that the one I had in 4th grade was real. I was just walking along with my friends and randomly, while laughing at a joke they were making, pushed off the ground and started...drifting, maybe?...towards the blacktop. They totally just ignored the fact that I was floating and then we played 4-square. But it was AH-MAZING. (:

Postethness. Ohyes.

OK. So. Blog. Post.

LANGUAGE ARTS
- Funny as usual. (: Today we were correcting this worksheet thing and the sentence was "He plants trees and gathers their fruit." Convo is as follows:
Fraver: Where does the comma goooo...Ben?
Ben: Um. After 'trees.'
Fraver: Really.
Ben: Yeah?
Fraver: Really?
Ben: Yeah!
Fraver: Okay, so if we pretend that you're right, what's the B item?
Ben: Ummm..."and gathers their fruit." It's a clause.
Fraver: Mmm.
Ben: It is!
Fraver: Mmkay. And what's the predicate?
Ben: Gathers.
Fraver: And what's the subject?
Ben: Uhmmm...'and.'
Fraver: What was the last time you 'and'ed?
Ben: Oh. 'Their'?
Fraver: I don't even want to know.
Ben: ...???
Fraver: So what rule are you following?
Ben: Ummm...OH, wait, it's a phrase!
Fraver: So you just invented a new rule? IC, phrase?
Ben: Um. No?
Fraver: Well, where does the comma go?
Ben: After 'trees'!!
Fraver: And what rule are you following?
Ben: Nothing!
Fraver: So where does the comma go??
Meanwhile everyone's laughing so hard that tears are streaming down our faces. SO FREAKING FUNNY.
- In math class yesterday, we were doing a team test (where we can work with our teams of 4 people on the test and discuss answers and stuff). I was working a problem ahead because my team was slow and I figured I could check with them later. When Arjan (this dude in my team) noticed, he sighed dramatically and was like, "Emily! You're like...You're like a lemur climbing branches. You're climbing too fast and leaving all your lemur friends behind on the ground." And it was so funny. We decided that Arjan was the crippled lemur and almost didn't finish the test in time because we were all laughing so hard.
- Um so I married Kaliyan on Facebook but then she divorced me...so now I'm sad. :(
- I had a ton of stuff that I posted on Sunday, but it totally died on me and deleted everything and screwed up the HTML. So then I got really pissed off and decided that it'd be useless to re-type it. So I didn't.
- I just forgot.
- Listening to my super old playlist (which is still at the bottom of this page, I think...) and I'd totally forgotten about some of these songs. (: Added some new ones, too. So yays.
- EMILY HAS A NEW SEVVIE BFF. OhyesIdo. His name is Noah and he's my BFF. (: He got LD last Monday (or something) and has been sitting at our table ever since, cuz I was like "Hi Noah, you're my new best friend!" And Amanda was like "OMG, yes, you're totally my BFF now!!!" And yeah. (: He's replacing Paigie as my lunch-stealer. He's already stolen my root beer once and my sandwich thingie once. And my M&Ms once, and my Reese's once, and a ton of other stuff. But he's pretty cool. Soyeah.

Super Update :D

Woo.

- HAPPY DECEMBER!!! As of Tuesday. :)

Spence was just showing me a tesseract shadow. It was pretty sweet. Then he found this moving image of a tesseract rotating.


Pretty sweet, huh? It's complicated, but REALLY COOL. Fourth dimension stuff in general is really awesome.

Okay, so HERE'S the class update.

Of course, English was funny. As always.
- Fraver stopped giving me points for raising my hand with answers (since I'm more-than-acing his class with an average of 103% so far), and yesterday he told me to wait until 1 or 2 people get it wrong, and/or there's a long pause, to raise my hand. So today I did. And hardly anyone knew the answers. So he was teasing me the whole time, like, "Come ON, people, Emily's not gonna give you the answer this time. You've got to pull yourselves out of this hole." It was kinda embarrassing but really funny.
- I just totally forgot what else--OH. We were talking about subjects and predicates (yawn) and we were finding the predicate in this sentence that I can't remember right now. And someone says that the predicate (which is always a verb, mind you) was "non-fattening sweetener". Fraver goes, "Tell me, when was the last time you non-fattening sweetener'd?" Then, later, another person said that the predicate for some other sentence was "it". Fraver: "I ask again: when was the last time you itted?" It just sounded really hilarious... (: Kinda had to be there.
- So Fraver was doing commas in a series, and he wrote (on the whiteboard): "I ate bagles, ceral, and apple orts for breakfast today." I started cracking up, and he looked at me like, "What?" After I kept laughing for a little bit (more quietly) and still didn't answer, he ignored me and kept going. So FINALLY, when I could breathe again, I raised my hand and said, "You spelled bagels wrong! It's -els, not -les." The whole class started laughing too, and Fraver went, "I object! It's not bah-GEHLs, it's bay-G--waaait, then it'd be BAH-gleh-s. Never mind." And then he erased it and acted all frustrated about it. MWAHAHA.
- While he was ignoring my cracking up, he asked if anyone knew what an 'ort' was (from "apple orts"). Arjan raised his hand and said, "Something horses and cows eat." Fraver gave him this completely priceless look and went, "...I don't even want to know how you came to that conclusion." Ahh, good times. xDD
- I should seriously tape a class. We're (supposedly) doing film-making later in the year (if my class stops being retarded), sooo...? I HOPE I CAN!!

Social studies is boring.
- We have this lame essay that's due next Tuesday that I could have written one last year in like 10 minutes, but of course we had to spend like 3 class periods on researching and crap. Cuz we're too fast and she needs to waste time. Holy. Crap. At least I have almost all my friends in the class now. (: But that means I have zero friends in gym. :(((( Which SUCKS REALLY BAD.
- Ummm. Brynn and I instant messaged each other practically the whole time because I was just sitting there typing random stuff and waiting for the teacher to tell us we can write our stupid essays already, and she was just done with note-taking. So yeah.
- That's pretty much it.

My gym class still fails at life.
- Finally just decided to hang out with Allison and Meghan, even though they're kind of in a different circle of friends than me. It was better but still SUPER awkward.
- Got a grand and amazing total of ZERO pull-ups. WOOOOO HOOOOOOO. Spencer's really evil cuz he got either 2 or 3 (can't tell since he had a typo in one of them). And then I got 42 on the sit-ups and 10.4 on the shuttle run. Which is really good, especially for me. :D
- Mile tomorrow. Blech. BLECH BLECH BLECH BLECH BLECH. The end.

My Awkward Math Group (me, Ivy, Arjan, and Colton) finally decided to talk to each other!!! :D :D :D So we actually had some funny moments in math. :D
- We were talking about using this advanced lattice thing for quadratic equations, and Arjan didn't draw it, so I asked him if he did that part. He went, "No, I just solved it. Like all you have to do is do the thingy with the--like, you know how you can do the multiply-y thing? I did that. I don't do the rectang-square." So funny.
- OH. Kyle walked in like 4 minutes late today in math. It was very funny.
Kyle: *walks in*
Sub: You're late!
Kyle: No, I'm Kyle.
Sub: Well, Kyle, you're late.
Kyle: Nope. Just Kyle.
Sub: Why are you late?
Kyle: I'm not.
Sub: Yes you are. Class started 4 minutes a--
Kyle: No, I'm early.
Sub: Early??? No you're not!! Class--
Kyle: I'm early. And now I'm on time.
Sub: But--
Kyle: I have a pass. *hands pass*
Sub: Well--
Rosey: He had to do something for a teacher. You're allowed to be late then.
Sub: ...Well--
Kyle: You have to mark me as here if I have a teacher's pass.
Sub: I don't have to do anything; all I have to do is pay taxes and die.
Heh. The whole thing was just really funny, and the "all I have to do is pay taxes and die" thing was kinda emo. Hahaha.

Um. Science is science.
- We're doing a rock unit now. Just took a test on minerals. We have this lame study sheet to do on rocks and what type they are and stuff.
- I seriously have nothing else to say about science.

Art's over today.
- That's all.

Choir is choir. Got a duo with Abby. (:

Spanish is SO much better than last year.
- Mrs. Taylor is cool. (: And funny. And stuffs.

In other news...
- Not to like unload all my drama (which I frankly don't care about) on you people, but two of my friends randomly decided to hate each other. Which is retarded cuz I'm 90% sure that one of them (Friend 1) only hates the other one (Friend 2) because Friend 1's "best friend" hates Friend 2. If that makes sense. So now they want the rest of our group to choose sides, and they each sat at a different lunch tables and told us to sit at whichever one we sided with. So the rest of us sat at our own separate lunch table and the two of them had a glaring contest over who got to come sit with all of us. The ended up both coming and sitting on opposite ends. EYEROLL to major immaturity.
- More immaturity. I ride the bus with all the popular guys on it, and they've made up several "games" that include: a) each of them saying a word that makes a complete thought. I.E. "The" "Bus" "Driver" "Is" "Lame". Just worse. b) each of them taking turns saying/yelling a gross word (penis, boner, etc) louder and louder until someone chickens out. No one ever chickens out, but they run out of vocal strength eventually. c) repeating thinks like "black cock", "hispanic penis", and other stupid stuff like that over and over. d) just discussing disgusting stuff. And the bus driver just totally ignores them, like that'll help.
- Uhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm yeah. (: Bye.
