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.

-Emilee
QUOOOOOOTES!!!
- "All I have to do is pay taxes and die." The sub. Emo...
- "I don't use the rectangsquare." Arjan, being unable to talk for a sec there.
- "When was the last time you non-fattening sweetener'd?" Fraver, teasing someone. As usual.
- "I ask again: when was the last time you itted?" Fraver, still teasing people.
- "When was the last time you spit on a shiny? Tripped on a small? Took a numerous to lunch? Huh?" Fraver, being nutso.
- "Does anybody know what an ort is?" -Fraver. "Something a horse eats." -Arjan. "...I don't even want to know how you came to that conclusion." -Fraver. Ahh, good times. xD
- "I ate bagles, cereal, and orts of apples for breakfast today." -Fraver (on the board).

Pohst

WEWT. Post. Won't be NEARLY as long as the last one, I promise. ;)

MONDAY
- Soo, today in English, Max said said "I don't know" and Fraver was like, "Don't say you don't know before you even think about it. Come in for lunch to clean desks. They're getting gross." And then he asked, "Does anyone have gum on their person? No punishment." So my friend Abby and I raised our hands, cuz we had our backpacks with us (which I carry my gum in) and Fraver told us to chew some and stick it underneath the desks. It was fun; I chewed 3 sticks and Abby chewed 4, and we stuck them all over the room for Max to clean up. >:)
- By the way, for those who don't know (dunno if I've told everyone...?), Max "Maximum" Bedor is the one who got the hard question right in the first few weeks and is one of Fraver's favorite students to pick on. Now Fraver calls him "Minimum," usually, because it was pretty much luck that first time and he's not all that great so doesn't live up to the huge (and unfair) expectations. Just so you know.
- We had this retarded thing where we all switched schedules in school, apparently in order to "maximize learning potential" or something stupid like that. So now I have a screwed-up schedule that I'm not gonna get right for a really long time. Greeeat. Still in the same English (eh, silent but amusing class), math (don't really care), and science (thank god, or I'd hafta get my laptop somewhere else) class though. Just swapped SS and gym classes cuz my SS class is loud and abnoxious and the good kids (like me! o:) Heh.) can never get anything done. And gym was the easiest to switch it with.

TUESDAY
- We're doing subject and predicate in LA. ICKITY ICK ICK IIICCCKKK. Who'd have known that it could be so hard for 13- and 14-year olds to find the stupid subject/predicate for "which is a small miracle if you stop and think about it"??? God, people...
- I had Spencie correct my memoir, but he didn't really DO anything to it today. Which means I'm getting better. Yay!!!! (:
- Ummm, had a headache all today...don't think it's anything too bad though.
- My new gym class is horrible. None of my friends are in it, it's all "populars" people who mostly ignore me, and... NONE OF MY FRIENDS ARE IN IT. On the other hand, I got 42 sit-ups. (: My best by far. But only a 32 on the sit-and-reach. :(
- UM I FORGOT. BYE.
- Oh, in case you haven't been, read the quotes. They're funny. :P

/ | \ -- |
\/|\/ - .
-Emilee
Quotes!!!
- "When was the last time you fat-free something'd?
- "Have you ever itted before?" -Fraver. Just sounds weird.
- "Oh, don't worry, I was just being held hostage in Fraver's room." -Abby. Hee.
- "I know!" -Kelsey. "We thought you were a goner!!!" -Me. In response to the quote above.
- "OH!! EMILY!!! It's YOU!!!" -Sydney. Haha.

GOBBLEGOBBLE

Back from the Thanksgiving Retreat!!! It was fun. :) This post is REALLY, REALLY long, in case you haven't noticed yet. So yeah.

Pictures: http://www.plurk.com/p/2sa5rv or http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=151350&id=1456718305


WEDNESDAY
- School got over. I went home, got a small snack, and loaded my English essay onto a memory stick to finish in the car.
- About 10 minutes later, Mom got home and we packed up the car to leave.
- We left. I worked on my essay for the ride, then when I finished stared out the window and spaced out and stuff. It was boring.
- When we got to the retreat house (my great-aunt is a nun and takes care of it, and she and the other nuns there let us use it for the weekend) we unpacked the car and found our rooms (there're about 150 rooms).
- After I'd gotten all my stuff into my room, I went into the dining room and said hi to mah family. Mah family said hi back.
- Then I went to the basement where I was promptly attacked by Joey and Connor, my 6- and 7-year-old (respectively) cousins. Anna, Joey's 8-yr-old sister, was more diplomatic and waited until I could stand up to hug me.
- We ran around and stuff until 9:30 when the young'uns had to go to bed. I went upstairs and played Hearts and 500 (card games) with the adults and waited until my aunt and uncle got there.
- Uncle Brandon got there with his girlfriend, Erin, who was looking...apprehensive. And rightly so. All the Kuhn-Lovejoy-Kimbros in one place can seem pretty dangerous for outsiders. :D I say hi and they say hi.
- I go to bed at 11:30 cuz I woke up at 6 that morning and was tired. And had just won at Scrabble against the Scrabble Champions of the World, and I wanted to stop while I was ahead. Said g'night to the adults and Mary, Lizzie, and Michael (the Kuhn trio: 19, 15, 14 years old respectively).
- Zzzzz.

THURSDAY
8:45 - Woke up, put on a sweatshirt, ate a light breakfast of toast and milk (Turkey Day dinner at the Kuhns' place requires an empty stomach, but cousin-sitting requires at least SOME sustenance), and headed downstairs to the basement.
9:00 - Lizzie, Anna, and Joey were already there. Anna and I built The Epic Fort (It wasn't THAT epic, but with only 1 table, 2 mini side-tables, and 3 twin-sized blankets, it was EXTREMELY epic. :P) while Joey and Lizzie continued their game of Connect Four.
9:30 - Connor came down after eating a biggish breakfast. He and Joey teamed up and attacked Lizzie and me. Anna played interference and didn't do so well.
10:00 - My aunt came downstairs and informed me that she'd finally gotten there at a quarter after midnight. Her girls (Veronica, 4, and Lucy, 2) were being shy and were hiding behind her legs, so she left after a few minutes.
11:30 - Connor, Anna, Joey, and I went upstairs and changed into nicer (non-ripped/sweaty from wrestling and running around) clothes for mass.
12:00 - We went to mass, led by my 3rd cousin (who's a priest) and, about halfway through, by my great-uncle (who's a hilarious guy and a priest), who'd just gotten there from doing something else.
1:00 - Went back downstairs to burn off as many calories as possible (OK, just to run around and play :P) before...
2:00 - Thanksgiving "dinner" commences. I eat about 3 platefuls, Anna eats 2.5 (she skipped breakfast that morning so she could eat lots [remember, she's just 8] of food. xD) Connor ate almost 2, and Joey ate 2 and a fourth.
2:50 - I decide that it's too quiet and get up to *cough* get some pie. Or so I claim. Then I walk over to Tommy (Connor and Ava's dad), Cool Whip in hand, and smear a huge spoonful on his nose and across his face. Thus commences the Cool Whip Wars of 2009. DUN DUN DUUUUUN. Tommy cracks up and vows to get me and my team (Natalie [my aunt], Anna, Joey, Michael, and a few others) back before or during the family football game that afternoon. I, speaking for my team, accept his challenge.
3:15 - Everyone's done with "dinner" and dessert and we decide to go start the football game.
3:20 - All the wimpy slowpokes go get their winter coats and hats on, while I'm standing (im)patiently in the entryway in my sweatshirt, jeans, and open-laced Converse. Cuz I'm a Minnesotan, that's why.
3:30 - They FINALLY get all their stuff on, we go outside and I realize it's even warmer than I thought. I take off my sweatshirt, to the (apparent) EXTREME AWE of my family, and am left with a spaghetti strap tank top and jeans. Le gaspeth.
3:32 - We play football. Michael, Mary Katherine (my 19-yo cousin. Mike's sister)), and I make some epic (for lack of a more accurate word) passes back and forth and our team beat the other team 27-18. All in a tank top in jeans. *bows*
4:00 - They started a new football game while Joey dragged me down the hill to the kids' soccer game, which was basically just kicking my old rubber Bob the Builder ball around and seeing who could get to it first. Joey has a really good drop-kick, and Anna is SO FAST. It's insane. She beats me in 3/5 of our races. (Not that I'm even remotely fast or athletic or anything, but she's EIGHT.) But yeah.
4:45 - We head back towards the building. Tommy tosses me the football, which I instinctively catch. It's COVERED with Cool Whip (where he got it, I have absolutely no idea) so I get it all over my bare hands and a little on my stomach. I stick out my tongue at him and figure that I'll get him back later.
4:50 - We go into the TV room and watch UP. Tommy, Natalie, and Brandon have a Sudoku race, which I take advantage of: I go to the kitchen and grab the tub of Cool Whip. Then I, after quickly and quietly filling them in, (they were too little for the Whip Wars last time) get Anna and Joey to scoop some up with their fingers while I take a huge handful. We walk innocently up behind Tommy to "see who's winning" and soon his whole face is white and Cool Whip'd. Mwahaha.
4:55 - I resume watching UP. Brandon, helped by my diverting Tommy, wins the Sudoku race. Tommy gets second and Natalie gets 3rd, just barely behind him. Tommy sits down behind me to watch the movie, and I get on my guard.
5:10 - Sure enough, Tommy suddenly leans over and smears a huge glob of Cool Whip across my face, then dabs a little on Anna's nose (Anna was sitting in my lap). Tommy laughs evilly. I tell him I'll get him later.
6:20 - Michael and his dad comes into the room, right as the movie's ending, and say that they're done building the bonfire and that we should go down soon, or at least see how many people are going to come. Ends up that Tommy, the Michaels (duh), Mary, Lizzie, Natalie, Veronica, Anna, Joey, and I are all going to come.
6:22 - All of the above get ready for the bonfire; I actually put on a coat and hat, since it was leaning precariously close to 10 degrees out, but just stuff some gloves in my pocket (I hate gloves). I also slip a little something else into my pocket. Heehee.
6:30 - Everyone's ready and we hike out over the hill, down to the railroad tracks, and down the steps to the clearing by the river. I was stupid and forgot my camera or it'd be the PERFECT place to take some AMAZING pictures. *whacks self* But yeah, it was really beautiful.
6:35 - First Michael, then Tommy fail(s) to light the fire. I snag Tommy's matches and light a piece of cardboard on fire, then hold it near the kindling in the middle till it lights. Then I toss the match in and slowly but surely it lights. Pssh, city boys. :P We stand around and sing and talk for a while.
6:45 - I walk conspicuously over to Tommy. He doesn't notice. I carefully squeeze some Cool Whip (that's what was in my pocket) onto my hand, still without being noticed, and move a little closer so I can wipe it on his face. I bring my arm up quickly, aimed perfectly--Tommy's hand shoots out, catches my arm and twists it behind my back. He wipes his OWN supply of Cool Whip on my face using his other hand, then grins. "Nice try." Grr.
7:10 - Veronica's getting cold, so she and Natalie go back up.
7:40 - It's pitch black out, plus we're running out of conversation topics. Joey and Anna are getting cold and tired, Mary and Lizzie are both sitting on cardboard pieces, and the bonfire is sort of dying out. Mike walks over to me and asks if I wanna do a fireworks show like last year. Of course I do.
7:45 - Mike and I fling stick by stick into the river. They arc up, wildly shooting sparks all around, then spin around an average of 4 times before coming to a landing in the (trust me) FREEZING cold water. They usually send a couple sparks floating across the water, which adds to the general amazing effect.
7:55 - The fireworks show comes to an end as Mike and I double-team the gigantic stick in the middle, which hits the limb of The Mighty Oak, then plummets down into the water below (taking the branch with it). The red-hot coals of the fire are mesmerizing: the fire's energy is down to just the point when it's still glowing, but you can clearly see the waves and jets of energy shooting from stone to stone in the pit. I literally can't look away; neither can anyone else. We pretty much just sit there in silence until Joey starts complaining about being freezing; Michael's dad takes them up.
8:00 - The Kuhn trio, Tommy, and I stand there for a while longer before Tommy sends Mike and I up for a couple buckets to put out the fire. We run up, get not one--not two--but three buckets, and run back down. Both of us trip over the train tracks. Heh.
8:05 - Mike and I set down two of the buckets and bring one over to Tommy, telling him that he gets to help. Then Michael nodded and we heaved the bucket up and over Tommy's head. Cool Whip completely covers his head and shoulders, and a little bit spreads down his shirt. "Betcha didn't see that coming, did you?" I ask. He didn't. MWAHAHAHAHAHA.
8:20 - We're done putting out the fire, and Mike and I are practically frozen solid from the frigid river water. We stagger back up and go inside, then both change into our pajamas and head back into the TV room. They're watching Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and the kids are drawing on plates and making magnetic picture frames and stuff.
8:25 - Mike and I, after we're in warm dry clothes, drag Tommy into the TV room, where he publicly announces his defeat for the year. My team cheers me and Michael on for defeating him, but out of nowhere Tommy takes out a container of Cool Whip, scoops his hand in, and holds me still while he smears it all over my face, then turns it over on my head. "Gonna need a shower tonight, eh?" He laughs like the evil man he is.
8:30 - I'm wet again, but clean and warm, and I come back and watch PotC with people. James (the face painter cousin) found himself in Ripley's Believe It Or Not and my grandma's spazzing out over it. Mike, Anna, and I are all laughing at her while watching PotC.
9:45 - Connor and Anna, the only two young'uns still up, get sent to bed. Tommy comes back and laughs at me more. I thbbt at him.
11:00 - The movie ends. I get my butt kicked by my great-aunt and grandma at Scrabble, then kick Tommy and Michael's butts at Hearts. I shot the moon once, for the first time. :D :D :D
12:30 - I'm exhausted from chasing the young'uns around all day and go to bed.
12:40 - Washed my face, brushed my teeth, in my PJs. I pass out. Zzzz.

FRIDAY
8:40 - Woke up, put on a cami, and ate some scrambled eggs and apple juice. Talked to people. Hung out.
9:00 - Got dragged to the basement by Anna. Told the young'uns about what we did a couple years ago when they were litte(r) and played Hide and Seek Extreme for a while, then flashlight tag, then other stuff.
11:00 - The young'uns, Lizzie, Michael and I start cleaning the basement.
11:10 - Done cleaning. Anna and Connor immediately take out the blankets, tables, and Connect Four.
11:15 - I get the stuff back and suggest playing a game that doesn't involve any fort-building or board games or anything, OR beating up on their older cousins (by then/now, I was/am covered in bruises and scratches). They go get some plastic plates from upstairs to color on and poke holes in.
11:30 - Anna, Joey, and their family leave. Sort of.
(I have to format this; there's a convo.)
12:00 - Tommy comes downstairs to get Connor (Ava already left) and holds out a hand to me. "This is the first year that someone's ever tied at a Whip War."
I shrug. "I don't think we tied, Tommy. I'm preeeetty sure I won."
He winks at me, shakes my hand, and says, "Well, it was definitely the closest one of all time. You're getting too good at this...I might need to kidnap you next year, make you work for me instead of on Natalie's team."
Grinning, I reply, "I dunno, I think -- at least this year, anyway -- it's more of my team, not Nattie's."
Tommy frowns. "Well, I still think I should somehow get you on my team next year. You and Mike both; that was the best EVER at the bonfire last night...Then again, I could train Connor, but still."
I laugh. "That was so fun...You pretty much set yourself up for it, though. Told us to go get buckets, for god's sake..."
"Ahh, that's true...Well, remind me never to let you two around buckets again, 'kay?"
"Kay."
12:20 - I go up to my room to back, still laughing at Tommy. After I packed, we went outside and took a group picture with everyone, then went back to haul my stuff out to the car. Then...oh, god, THEN.
12:30 - THEN, when I came back outside, I saw Tommy over by my grandma's car. "What're you doing, Tommy?" I yelled at him. He looked up, grinned, then went back to whatever he was doing. I ran over, intrigued, and saw him smearing Cool Whip all over her window. "Why're you putting Cool Whip on HER car?"
"Because you were on her team, and usually the Whip Wars are us two."
"You and my grandma?!"
"...Wait, what?" He looked a little worried. "This is Natalie's car, isn't it?"
At this point, I couldn't help but start laughing. "Um, no, this is Betty's car. That--" I pointed to Natalie's car "--is Natalie's car."
"Sh*t."
"Watch your mouth, Tommy," I teased.
He stuck his tongue out at me and replied, "Sh*t isn't a swear word; it's a natural human funtion." Then he ran off to find some window washer and paper towels.
12:45 - Brandon came out and helped clean the window off. Natalie laughed and told Tommy that it only counted if he got us on the FACE; cars were cheating. Brandon, Tomy, and I got the window mostly clean before Grandma came out, so she didn't see the full brunt of it...which was BAD. Finally, we got it clean.
1:00 - We drove off into the sunset.

THERE. I'm finally done writing. It only took, like, 3 hours. WHEEEEEEW.

P.S: Y'know how, earlier in the year, I said my English teacher curse wasn't broken? Yeah, Fraver took the curse and not merely BROKE it, he smashed it to smithereens and then broke the smithereens into smithereens. And then whacked those super-smithereens with a rubber chicken. :P He's awesome. And I seriously need to tape one of the classes, but I don't think I can, which is stupid... :( But he's SO. INCREDIBLY. AWESOME.

POSTsoyeah

Yup.

- The post before this was the 123rd post on here. Heehee. (: Just wanted you to know that.
- Today in English, we were talking about a story and naming some onomatopoeias in it. Someone went, "Umm... well, like, um, crack." and Fraver said, all alarmed, "No, not crack! Don't do drugs, Megan!" ...It was kind of a had-to-be-there moment. But it was funny. :D
- Another funny moment. In choir today, a couple other people and I were all touching Lindsay's (who broke her collarbone a few days ago) collarbone, which randomly disappears under her skin because of the break. She walked up to Carter, who wasw looking quizzically at us, and went, "Here, touch it!" He made this hilarious disgusted face and said, "I don't wanna touch there." Another funny had-to-be-there-ish moment.
- Speaking of Carter, in Spanish during a silent moment he said "in my nipples" as part of a conversation. It was awkward.
- Someone took a mineral rock from the science room yesterday and if no one finds it the gym teacher (who's awesome, actually) is going to, quote, "make us run till we puke" on Friday. And he's definitely not kidding, cuz I had him in 6th grade and we ran the whole class period once because someone took something else from a teacher. So I think people should find it. Mmmhm.
- I have an English quiz and a project thing due for science tomorrow, AND the first show of Hansel and Gretel, which is not doing so hot. No one knows their lines or what to do with their props, they all talk about this loud, and it's just pretty much a disaster. Not good.
- Ummmm I HAVE A 103% IN LANGUAGE ARTS RIGHT NOW!!! WHICH IS LIKE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Also along the lines of grades I had all-A's last quarter, something I've never done in middle school before. Which is also good. (:
- And that's it. Buh-bye.
- EDIT: DUDE I HAVE 105% IN ENGLISH AS OF TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Issa post. :O

- WOO HOO!!! It's a long weekend! It's the end of 1st quarter, so we have tomorrow and Friday off for the teachers to grade. :D :D :D

- I have all A's except for an A- in art class, and that's only because she graded a quiz wrong. I just hope she corrects her mistake before the grades are entered for the report cards, cuz if she corrects it I'll have ALL A's and will get candeh and an award thingie. :D

- So, a few nights ago I had this super weird dream where I was at school and wandering around with GAP, and when I said bye and went to my hallway, it wasn't my hallway but this weird library-lookin' thing. There were these really stupid looking cardboard signs on the walls with locker numbers on them, but mine was nowhere to be found, and I looked all over for a really long time before asking this one dude where my locker was. He looked at me weird and went, "It's downstairs. You're in the wrong hall." So THEN (and it gets stranger), I go down these stairs and randomly show up in this labyrinth-like place, and Kaliyan's there, and we did this like...dance...thing...to Disturbia. Yeeeeaahhhh, I don't know either.

- Ummmmm, I officially love English and hate history. Fraver's amazing and getting more so, and Ms. Dahlgren ran out of stuff for us to do so she started giving us busywork, and the busywork is retarded and I have a thing against history and geography ANYWAY, since I don't really give a crap and likely never will. So why learn it? Yeahhh. Anyway.

- All the good guys are either gay or bi. That's all I'm gonna say. 'S a long story.

- So randomly today in art class, I started getting really stomachache-y and nauseous and stuff. And I still am sorta stomachache-y and nauseous and stuff. But I skipped play practice cuz I was afraid I'd like throw up...and that would suck. :P

- Spencer's my brooooothhherrrrr!!!! ^_^ I was complaining that I had like 6 sisters but no brother, and he said "I'll be your brother." and it was really cute and yeah. (((: Love you Spencie!!! Like a brother, though, not that way. (;

- Yeahh, getting tired of Owl City now, since everyone's so obsessed and whatever. And MLIA, since it's getting really cliched and everyone's so obsessed with it and BLAHHH. All my interests are being ruined by popular people and their obsessiveness. ><""

- Speaking of interests, I have to come up with a topic that has plenty of books about it that I'm passionate about and can review and find blogs about. For English class. And I need a really good topic, cuz I plan on keeping this A/A- average I've had so far in his class. ANY IDEAS???

- Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmm yeah. (: Peezowt. (Yep, stole that. Mwahaha.)

- "Two plus two is four...right?" -Kyle, who was completely serious. Wow. That's all I can say.
- "Where were you, stupid?" "Dolce, stupid!" "Oh. Crap." "Smooth, stupid." "Bye, stupid!" -Genesis and me. Gotta love her.
- "Dude. This thing's LOADED!!" -Kyle, about a mechanical pencil. Again, wow.
- *sniff* "Couldja stop?" "We're just sniffing." "I'll give you something to sniff about." "...How bout some cocaine? :D" -Jeff and Mills. Jeff's an idiot, if you hadn't noticed.
- "So I saw this 6th grader, right?" "Yeah?" "And she was like a triple H." "Is that even possible?" "I dunno...but I'm gonna ask all the chicks in our grade." -Drew and John, on the bus. No, it's not possible, boys, and it's creepy that you're discussing it. Thanks for asking though, I guess...even though it was really awkward...
- "SINGAH IN A SMOKEH ROOM! SMELL OF WINE AND CHEEEEEAP PERFUUUME!!!" -Arjan. And Journey. Ahhh, good times, good times.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmashortpost

- I HAVE A 93% IN LANGUAGE ARTS RIGHT NOW!!! And got 92% on my test! Which is INSANELY GOOD and makes me REALLY REALLY REALLY HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
- I have Replay (by Sean Kingston) stuck in my freaking head. Shawty's like a melody in my head that I can't keep out; got me singin' like "Nananana" everyday. It's like my iPod's stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay..." :P Yup.
- Spencer's been getting on more often! Woot!
- GAP, Kaliyan, Rae, Spencer, Abby, Kyle, and a lot of other people are all awesome. Just thought we should bring that back. :)
- Speaking of Abby, in Spanish class today we were doing a thing where you roll the dice and get a word and who's doing it, and you have to conjugate the word for the person. And Abby got "beber," to drink, and that "nosotros" is doing it. And she turned around to look and went "Ah-buh-bah-buh...ah-buh-baaahhhh bay-mos!" And it was really funny. :D
- Um yeah. I don't really have that much to post about. I just felt the need to post.
- I should write Frozen. I really need/want to write SOMETHING, just...not that. Which sucks. But I'm gonna try to write it anyway. And maybe get to the stuff I wanna write.

RUBBER CHICKEN DAY!!!

WOOT!

- First of all, my stupid Blogger account finally learned that I don't want to write in that squiggly foreign language, so I can type my post in the rich text tab instead of the HTML one, and I can type my own stupid title instead of copy-pasting it from the text box. That took forever. And I'm not used to this now. And it's weird not having HTML all over. Anyway, yeah. WOOT!
- It was rubber chicken day today in English. And it was SO. MUCH. FUN. :D :D :D :D He, as I must've said before, had us write on the board and swung a rubber chicken at our heads, meanwhile throwing a second rubber chicken at us from behind. I picked up the 2nd chicken and threw it back at him. And it hit him. And it was really funny. :D But anyway, a bunch of people screwed up because they were distracted...and he's gonna give me extra credit because of a) throwing the chicken back at him, and b) dodging the swinging chicken on my 2nd turn and not getting hit at all. And I got everything right on my first try. Which was also awesome. *happy dance*
- Health was funny. As usual. Not much in specific, though.
- LUNCH WAS AMAZING!!!!! We randomly had lunch with 8-2, and I like exploded with happiness. Cuz I got to spend 30 minutes solid with GAP. And it was awesome, cuz there's something going on where when we're all together we all get high off air and...and yeah. I ended up eating like half my lunch, cuz Paige (of course) stole the rest of it. And it was just totally amazing. Cuz they're just totally amazing. :)
- After lunch was over and we were walking back to the A-wing, Paige grabbed my arms (and Paige's arms are frickin' RIPPED, so I wasn't going anywhere...) and started dragging me into their hallway, and when I said I wasn't supposed to be in their hallway, she was like "Well, you know what? I don't care if you can't be in our hallway. Or if you're late to class. You're coming anyway. And if you get yelled at, just say your friends abducted you." And yeah. It was pretty funny, and I ended up being late for math but she was OK with it...soo. :D:D:D
- Ugh. Got my braces adjusted today. :(((
- Doing my memoir. I'm doing it about riding the Steel Venom for the first time now though, which is a lot more exciting than my old topic. And yeah.
- Spencer's on! I'm gonna make him edit my memoir. Mwahaha.
- Can't wait to watch V tonight!! Sounds really good...I hope it's as good as it sounds. And stuff.
- THE ALIEN MUFFINS ARE BACK!!!! :-o

Fraver Day!

UM UM UM post.

- HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Kaliyan's having a partay and I'm going and it's gonna be pretty awesome. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D I'm being Annabeth Chase. Sort of. Not really. But sort of. :)
- TWINKIE SONG! Yay. Sorry. That was fun.
- Ummm, Fraver Day was cool. The test was SUPER EFFING HARD. But we all came in and went into Ms. Dahlgren (the history teacher)'s room because she "had a paper for us all to pick up" and bought our masks and fake mustaches, and I got a bunch of high-fives for my amazing sign. :D And then we hid the masks in our backpacks until 7:50, when homeroom started. Then we took them out and put them on and went into Fraver's room (our class was the first ones :D) and right then, the announcements came on and the announcer people were wearing mustaches. And they went "Good morning. Today is Friday, October 30th, 2009...also known as FRAVER DAY!!!" And they whipped out masks and the tech crew came in with masks, too. And then we put on our masks, too, and he looked at us like "WTF" and it was really funny. But during class, the millisecond we walked in the door he went "Okay, the test has started. Get out a pencil and put away your masks. Again, loose lips lower scores." And whatever. So that wasn't as fun. But then Abby and I took pics of my mask and sign in art class instead of doing our work, since we were ahead of everyone, and it was pretty awesome. So my mask and sign are gonna be in the yearbook. :D :D :D
- CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PARTAY!!!!
- Went riding today. Indy says hi to you people.
- Oh, on Thursday I went to school and had horse treats in my pockets. I don't think any of you care, but yeah. :D It was funny. They fell out in English class. And yeah.
- Ummm. Yeah. :D MLIA.

Fraver

Mmmmmmhmmmm.

ENGLISH
I have a lot of updates on the English front. So here they are.
- Fraver Day tomorrow!! Can't wait. Made a cool poster and printed out a Twins hat (he hates the Twins. And the Vikings. He's SO spirited. *eyeroll*) to tape on to the mask that I'm going to buy tomorrow, along with a bunch of fake mustachios and such. I might wear my Vikings shirt, if I can find it...
- Also a Fraver Day update. In class, we were talking about...I don't even know what we were talking about, but Fraver suddenly smirks and goes, "Wouldn't it be interesting if everyone dressed up as the same person?" And from the look in his eyes, I think someone told. But it'll still be cool. :D
- Actual English class now. Had the first part of a three-day test today. It apparently goes: medium, hard, easy in order of the days, so...tomorrow's the hard part, according to Fraver and my high-school friends. So, wish me luck...:-S Oh well, I'll probably be OK. I studied my butt off yesterday, did some pretty hardcore reviewing today, and will be cramming more info into my head tomorrow morning during homeroom...even though we have morning announcements and the Reveal for Fraver Day. I'll find a way.

OTHER NEWS
- Halloween on Saturday!!! Tomorrow night's the Halloween dance at school, although I really don't think I'm gonna go...and then on Saturday I'm going to Kali's house to partay and trick-or-treat!! WOOT. Then I'm staying the night with some other peeps, and trading candy and all that good stuff. :D
- Hmm. There really isn't much else in news, but...ummm...hmm. Oh, not going to open gym with GAP tomorrow. If any of you care. And you probably don't. xPP
- UM UM UM UM UM. Yeah. Short post. Peace.

-Emilee

Ummmmmmm...

Yeah.

- Soooo, Fraver's a history major. And today we were just like going over terms and stuff, and suddenly he pulls up a picture of a Cathedral. And we're like WTF. And he goes on to explain about buttresses -- real word, real thing -- and how they're like characteristics of a story, and how flying buttresses -- again, real thing -- let the light in, so make your characteristics like flying buttresses. And while he was explaining about the buttresses and the structure of cathedrals and whatever (classified as architectural history), he was like...totally different. It was super weird, cuz he wasn't acting like himself. But then when he started talking about how it related to themes, he was back to normal. So yeah. It was just really weird. And stuffs.
- Fraver Day on Friday is gonna be amazing!! My poster's almost done, and I've already got the $3 in my backpack for the other stuff. And it's gonna be fun. :) We've got the "reveal" all worked out. And yeahhhhhh....:D
- Ummm, science quiz tomorrow on plate tectonics. Should be really easy, so I'm not studying (pssh, like I ever do).
- Eatin some Lovejoy-Kimbro chocolate crinkle cookies!! WOOOOOT!
- Spencer's here! Yayz. He should post.
- Still working on TT. It's sorta stuck-ish but I'm still working on it...and I just realized that I haven't posted for, what, like a month? Two months? Saaaaddd.
- Had a strangely awesome day at school today. o.O"" I miss GAP though. :( Sighage. I only see them for ~ 5-10 minutes, usually. Miller and Mr. G are cool, though, and they don't care if we're all a little late to health / science (me health, them science). So that's good. And sometimes, when they don't walk off, I hang out with them in the morning like I did last year. Cept I have further to walk this year, so I can't stay till 20 seconds to the bell...Haha, good times, good times. :D
- Uhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm...yeah. That's all, folks!

POSTAGE

Again, you know the drill.

- So. "Who Says" by John Meyer (sp). Weird song. I'm JUST saying.
- ENGLISH TODAY WAS SO INCREDIBLY AMAZING. And I don't even know why I think that. I got a new--way better--topic for my memoir, something just clicked in my head about the memoir, I caught way more things than usual, and I made plans with Abby (my only friend who's in honors English) to watch The Sandlot sometime next week. And it was just really awesome. Yayz.
- In health, Jason (super annoying kid) was being super annoying and... OK, first of all, there's this poster in the health class that says "3 out of 4 teens are not sexually active. Just wanted you to know that you're not the only one waiting", and the guys are obsessed with hanging it up and messing with it and whatever. So Jason was being annoying and messing with that, and the teacher goes "OK, sit down in 10 seconds or we'll do book work the whole period." And Jason doesn't sit down. So Kyle (mentioned him before) gets up, picks him up by his armpits, and puts him in his seat, which tips the desk a little bit, and this screw fell out. Jason goes "Oh, it's a Phillips. I can put it back in with my pocket knife." And there was this whole chorus of "Jason has a pocket knife!!" to the teacher, trying to get Jason kicked out. And Richards (coolish kid) goes "No, it's this little tiny pencil that he calls his 'pocket knife'. It's like an inch long!" Then Matt snickers and whispers, "That's not the only thing of Jason's that's an inch long." It was perverted, but funny. :D Especially since he was dissing Jason. Heh.
- Ummm. I had something to write here, but I totally just forgot. Crud.
- Oh. I made a dozen and a half cookies a couple days ago, and now they're gone. I only got 5 or 6 (out of 18). :( But they were really, really yummy while they lasted. :)
- I'm working on TT!!!!!!!! Woooooooooot! :D
- Ummmmmmm I forgot.
- Spencer's old. So're a lot of my friends. I feel so freaking young. :(
- I forgot again.

SATURDAY
- Today I went riding. And the owner's son came with us on Rocky, the huge almost-all-black horse. And it was fun, and he's cool. :D His name's Andrew. She has another son named...I can't remember. But yeah, that was fun.
- My real-life MLIA, which happened today: "Today, I was driving home from dinner with my family and decided to get my hair cut. I arrived at an intersection where there was a Great Clips and a Fantastic Sam's. I wasn't sure which one to go to until I spotted a man, in a full-body go...rilla suit, standing at the corner with a Great Clips sign. Decision made. MLIA"
- I'm trying to quote Fraver and help Rae. But it's 11:20pm. ZzzZzzz. I CAN DO IT!!! *tries*
- Lost all the work I did on TT yesterday. Rawr. Trying to redo it now.
- Kthnxforreadingbye.

AnotherPost

You know the drill. :P

- Had a pop quiz in science today. 6/5. Not that big a deal.

- Had a presentation in health today, but my partner was sick so we're going tomorrow. Also not big news.

- Uh, Indy's cool. And it's raining.

- I really don't have that much to talk about. Obviously.

- Fraver Day is on October 30th!!! Woot. We're supposed to wear Twins and Vikings stuff, since he hates both teams with a passion, and wear fake mustaches and/or carry Fraver masks. I'm gonna make a sign with words like:

• thing
• a lot
• very, very
• like (used as teenagers usually do)
• and other words that he really hates.

It shall be very fun. :) Oh, and was organized by my history teacher. Which makes it even better. :D

- Hmmm. Speaking of Fraver, I had conferences yesterday (the 20th). My homeroom teacher is the Spanish teacher, and she's awesome so the actual conference was all good, but then my mom wanted to talk to Fraver (since all the parents do). So we went in and it was just really extremely awkward. Cuz he doesn't like our class, since we don't "stick out our necks" or "build on each other's answers". And he just found out then that I was 12, even though all of my memoirs were about the reason that I'm 12, and he was like "Wow. Cool." And...yeah. It was awkward. Then we went to science, and that was kinda awkward too, and then we went to history which was fine cuz she's cool too (duh, she made a Fraver Day), and...yeah.

- More about Ms. Dahlgren (history) and her anti-Fraver-ness. She doesn't not like him, but she likes to do stuff to annoy him and stuff. And our period in history had a bunch of awesome ideas like rubber chicken toss, pin the mustache on Mr. Fraver, etc, etc. And so we're gonna have a games day too. And it shall be even more very fun. :)

- Talking to Joey. This is the latest as of this second, but it's sure to be updated soon... You could go here too, for all the updates. If it shows up... (It's the plurk that I'm sharing all the stuff in.)

Postage

OK. So. Postage.

- I had this weeeeird dream that like the time-space continuum glitched and Friday happened twice. It was weird. And stuff. And Spencer was all like "Cool, so am I 15 now? Can I get my permit? That'd be pretty sweet." And I freaked out, cuz I realized that next year Spencer can get his permit...and that's freaky. Anyway, yeah. Weird dream.
- And then the night before THAT, I had a weird weird WEIRD dream that...like...okay. So basically there was this house that looks like one on my bus route, and it's cool. And then next to it/on the property there were some hills and this tiny black weird-looking lake and a hitching post. And I kept going back to that place at random times during the dream, and apparently it was Kaliyan's house. And like a bajillion of her cousins were randomly there. So then we sat at the little black lake, and then suddenly--OH, at the black lake there was this dead-looking whale/octopus thing, and while we were talking I was sitting by it, and I randomly got up and stepped on the whoctopus (I know, it's awesome :P)'s tentacle tihing. And it freaked out and started attacking me. Then these huge fish started attacking me tooo. And Kaliyan put some fish food in the lake and missed and it landed on me. And Kaliyan yelled "Bad Sherbet! Get DOWN" at the fish and my real-life self laughed unconsciously. And then I forget the rest. Mhm.
- UM. OHHHHH, so. I've never cried because of a book or movie before in my life. Never. I've watched The Notebook before, and I didn't cry. I watched Iron Giant when I was little, and didn't cry (although my mom did. xD). I read some darn sad death scenes, and I've never even gotten teary-eyed. So last night before bed, I was reading Inkspell. And I cried during Dustfinger's death scene. Just thought you should know that. Oh, and I JUST started Inkdeath, so don't tell me if he comes back to life. Even though he prolly will. Which would totally ruin everything, because even though I love him, you just can't do that. It's stupid.
- Hmm. Ummm. I went riding today. It was awesome and amazing and beautiful out. It was 55 and sunny, and Indiana was being good, and stuffs.
- And I miss Dustfinger.
- And I totally had something that I HAD to post about, which reminded me to write this post, and I TOTALLY JUST FREAKING FORGOT IT. Ugh.
- Ugh.
- ...UGHHHHH.
- I miss Dustfinger.

Bye.

OHKAY here's a post.

TUESDAY
- Sooo, the ViQueens won last night. IN YOUR FACES, MR. GILB AND AYLIN. (Neither of whom read my blog, but whatever. :P) 30-22, I think it was? Somethin' like that. Anyway, yay. The ViQueens won.
- Kyle (awesome guy) was standing in the hallway talking to Chris, Matt, and a few other people while I was talking to Genesis (who was on her way to science). Suddenly and randomly, Christian (anger management kid) comes running down the hallway and starts like dissing Kyle, just random stuff about him and his mom and whatever. So Kyle's like "What the heck, kid, back off" and trying not to get up in his face about it, since that would get him in trouble. Christian goes "YOU CAN GO SUCK YO' MOMMA'S D***, F*****!" And swings at Kyle, who's like "Woah, seriously, back off." Christian then jumps at Kyle and spits, and this huge glob ends up on Kyle's cheek. Kyle automatically pushes Christian away, like anyone would, and since Kyle's like 6'2" and Christian's like 5'4", Christian goes flying down the hallway. They both got PAWS. Poor Kyle.
- Today I wore this sweatshirt. It's worth 50 bucks, but I got it for free since I won this raffle thingie, and it's super warm and comfortable. It says "TIGERS" across the front, standing for the football team where I got it. Now, apparently the Twins are playing the Tigers today for the playoffs. I don't follow baseball, so didn't know who the Tigers WERE. I got a grand total of 14 "Why are you wearing that?" and "GO TWINS" shouted at me. After the first 5 I made a game out of it. :D So funny...
- Switched seats in math. :( I'm with Matt though, so it's OK...Kyle's way across the room, and Isabel and Abby (who sit right next to each other) are in the group next to me, kinda far away-ish. No more hilarity :(

WEDNESDAY
- Went fossil hunting today. It was really fun, and I got super muddy. I found 6 twig-looking-things (called briozoans, I think), 2 brachipods, and 1 "Cheerio". Then we came back to school and had an 8-1 picnic thing and recorded podcasts. And I have no homework! Yippee!
- Ugh. I have religion tonight. I hate religion, because it's really preachy (in the bad way), and it's all "Believe or else!!!" and my teacher's a dimwit...the only good part is that all the people in my class are really awesome and talk and joke the whole time so we never learn anything anyway. :) Slackers FTW!
- More about the fossil hunting I guess, since otherwise today was pretty uneventful (duh). I went with Kaillan, Amanda, Stephanie, Mikayla (not MikaEla, I'd die) Kelsey, Katie P and Brynn (and more people, but those're my friends). Katie P found a star Cheerio which is 2 points extra credit, and a few people found like a TON of stuff. Mmmhm. Then I did my podcast with Kaillan and Mikayla and stuffs. But OLIVIA was there. She apparently loves me now. It's really freaky. She kept signing (like sign language) "I <3 you" from down the hill and...yeah. Creeper. OH, btw the hill was a 78 degree angle, and I pushed Ginger down it. It was so funnnnny cuz he caught onto this huge fat root, but that broke and he rolled down and almost fell into the creek...bwahahaha. Even Ms. Stauble and Mr. K were laughing. Especially Ms. Stauble; she was cracking up. Twas very funny. Anyway, so we dug in the dirt and splashed people with the creek water. Sam pushed me down the hill, but I caught onto a tree branch a few feet down and only up to my knees got dirty. So HA. :P
- Uhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm yeah. The end. Peez.

QUOTES OF THE DAY:
"Don't be sorry. Be smarter."
"HOLY SH*T! What was that for?"
"OMG! I found a rock!"
"When the roof caved in and the truth came out..."
"Oh. My god, that's a big hill."
"Suck it up."
"SING ALONG TIME!"
"I <3 you."

Yes, it's another post.

Hm. So. Another eventful day.

- So today in social studies, we find out that, guess what, we have a huge test tomorrow. Out of effin nowhere. And I've never studied for a test before, so I'm like "...Oh god, what a time to learn how to study." So I'm just gonna read my notes like a million times and try to memorize the stuff and hope I don't bomb the test. And take a lot of breaks in between, cuz my head already hurts. Goshdarned studying.
- Secondly. Fraver's in a much better mood today, said (really indirectly, but I think he said) he was sorry for yesterday and that he was tired and overwhelmed with essays to correct and whatever. So then we get on with the lesson, and he's talking about 3-D and 2-D characters (or "round and flat"), and bouncing this random ball around. I knew he was gonna do something with it, but I admit that I was very surprised when he said, in the middle of nowhere, "I'm going to toss this at the wall, and I don't care what it hits." I was even MORE surprised when he actually chucked it (and I mean chucked it, not tossed.) at the wall and it went flying across the room and into someone's shoulder. Then he threw it at the other wall. And sooner or later, he was just chucking the ball at walls and we were all getting hit. So THEN he walks up to me and goes, "Do you think you're a round character, Emily? Do you change and grow?" I nodded, kind of guessing what he was going to do, and he takes my head in one hand, pushes it down, and whips the ball right at my head. It bounced off, and didn't hurt all that much, but still. Way to be.
- Also on the topic of Fraver abusing his students. He has this rubber chicken that hangs from his projector screen. When people write on the board, he swings it at their heads. This isn't something that's happened yet, but I have some 9th- and 10th-grader friends who've all informed me that it's coming up. They kindly refrained from warning me about his whipping the ball at people's heads...but oh well. It was amusing. Yet scary. Cuz...yeah.
- Math class was funny again. We were doing our work, and Kyle was having issues, and Abby had some issues, and Kyle was flicking hand sanitizer at Isabel and I, and stealing my notebook and copying from it, (He got caught too, but Mrs. Stauble's cool, so she just teased him and let him off the hook)...just stuff like that, all together to make for a very funny class. *nodnod*
- Health is so...blah. Got stuck with The Quiet Kid and one of the "I'm too cool for classwork" guys in a group for a project. So, in short, I'm doing my own project. Sigh.
- Science is still boring. ZzzZzzzZzzz.
- Saw GAP today! Miss Piggy's all better now; sounds great, looks great, all that jazz. :) Uhmmm...yeah. Not much to update in that area of news.

And yeah. I just felt like posting again, cuz I'm cool that way. :D (Ahem, Kaliyan. For multiple reasons.)

Post

Sooo, here's yet another post! Woot! (BTW, this is the 111th post. WOOT!!)

- Play practice started today. I'm the Sandman, and I get to wear an awesome cloak and say cool stuff and (BEST PART) throw sand at Emilee Hassanzedeh. She's the most popular girl in school, and yet she's a total and complete byotch. Anyway, yeah...Austin, Claire, Clare, and a bunch of other people that I haven't seen for ages are all in it, as well as people I see a lot like Ali, Brynn, Alex, and them. The play's Hansel and Gretel, but it's got a ton of twists and awesomeness added to it, so it's actually cool. *nodnod*
- Got 100% on my super hard quiz! Score-age! Although, we might be getting another one tomorrow, because everyone was half asleep in class today and weren't raising their hands...Again, I know that his tactic will work for about 90% of everybody, but still. It was annoying.
- Ryan accepted my friend request! Super happiness! But he doesn't have any pictures on his FB account. :( So I can't steal his pics. Sigh.
- Um. I'm eating a brownie. It's delicious.
- I loves Dante Shephard. He's super cool. I also loves Peter.
- OH MY GOSH so in math today, Isabel (semi-popular-yet-still-nice girl) and Kyle (pretty-popular-and-totally-hilarious-and-awesome guy), along with my friend Abby and me, who are in a "work group", were doing our work, and Kyle was having issues and asked for my notebook. So I gave it to him, and was waiting for him to finish reading my work, and he made this totally hilarious face that I totally can't describe. So I immediately start cracking up, and Isabel's like "What?" so I go "Kyle's...face." Which makes Kyle's awesome face go away, and so she's all sad cuz she missed it. So THEN, Kyle gives my notebook back and we start working again, and then he makes it again and THIS time Isabel saw it first, so she goes "Is that it?" And I look up and start cracking up again, so Isabel and I both laugh for like 10 years, and Abby's all focused on her work. I go "Wow, it's weird how we're both cracking up, Kyle's laughing, and Abby's just totally ignoring us and doing her work." Then Abby looks up and grins and goes back to her work. And then we continue laughing. It was just insanely fun. :D
- Had another dream last night. Same as the one from a while ago. It was the one where Rae had wings and flew over my house and dropped a letter, and before I read it I woke up and whatever. *nodnod* Usually my dreams don't repeat like that unless I get more the next time, but it was exactly the same.
- Hm. Spencer was on for a while on...was it Saturday or yesterday? Anyway, that was fun. I wish he never got a life so he could talk to us more. :(
- Uh, more about school...hmm. OH. Health is boring, history is incredibly boring, math is fun cuz of my awesome work group, science is fine I guess. Going on a fossil excavation on Thursday. In the meantime, we get to do stupid things that are really easy for me. Physics and biology are super easy, specially biology. Which is Mr. K's forte. So basically I'm a supergeek. Good to know. :D But yeah. School's boring. We're doing a thing on drawing in art class, and half the class sucks at art and half the class is built up of amazing artists. Which is interesting. Um, and the Spanish teacher is awesome. And my PT teacher. So yay. :)
- AND AND AND I forgot.

Bye.

Le Postageness

Hm. So. Updatethness.

- Firstly, and freshest in my mind, is the fact that my English teacher was not kidding when he said that his tests and quizzes were hard. HOLY CRAP. He talks at the speed of light, calls on random people at any time during his lecture and asks questions about something that we either haven't gone over yet or went over near the beginning (or days ago), expects you to be right, then in 2 days gives you a quiz. Now, I find myself pretty knowledgeable about figurative language and all, but this quiz was impossible. I'm the 2nd person on his "List", of people who've answered the most questions correctly and right away, etc, but it was still really hard. The 1st one on the List is like insanely good, though. Like, better-than-Spencer good. Anyway, so we take this quiz today, and we have to find 6 metaphors, 3 similes, 2 hyperboles, and 2 examples of personification. I swear on my life that there weren't 6 metaphors, 2 hyperboles, or 2 examples of personification. The similes were easy, though...otherwise, I swear to god. But Max (the 1st one on the List), said he found everything but 2 metaphors on the first page. o.O Anyway. Yeah. English is hard, but I know for a fact that it'll work. I don't learn anything when my teachers don't push me. If they're just like "OK, you know it, the end", it doesn't help me. Fraver's like "OK, you know it, but do you know THIS? Well, learn it!" Which helps a lot more. Anyway. Long section.
- Jasalex hasn't been on the bus again since he came back. Sigh.
- Stalker-Kid from my bus hasn't been stalking me yet. Which is a good thing. He's actually been getting off on his own stop lately. Yay! :) No stalker kid!
- Um...made Honors Choir and the dinner theatre production. Which is to be expected, cuz both directors love me...
- I still feel like I got run over by a steamroller, from 1st period English. God. But the 9th graders all think he's wonderful, so hopefully...
- Hmm. Well, Aylin has a huge crush on this new kid, who rides my bus, and it's kinda funny cuz I think he's sort of creepy. And Paige is awesome and still completely ripped (It's insane!! Her biceps are almost as big around as my neck! No joke!), and Genesis is sick. And that's my GAP update.
- Math is good, Kyle is getting less annoying, Drew decided not to pick on me this year, new girl is following me around like a lost puppy because she has this weird notion that I'm popular (Well, I'm popular as in lots-of-friends, but my friends and I are definitely not considered "cool"...), this girl that I convinced was going to Hogwarts (in 5th grade. Long, hilarious story.) has now become emo and has begun cutting herself, Health is booooring...
- Speaking of Health! Mr. Miller's cool and all, but I can't wait till Ms. Kellen gets out of maternity leave, because she's apparently a huge riot. Whenever she saw Lisa, my 10th-grader friend, she apparently would go "Hm. Balls." at random times, which made Lisa crack up. Mmmmhm. OH. And she (Lisa, not Ms. Kellen) thinks Miller is cute. Bwahaha.
- Speaking (a while ago) of math. I sat next to my friend Abby, which is where Kyle's supposed to sit, and after a while of trying to drag me out, trade the desks, etc, etc, Kyle just sat in my seat (right in front of me) and said that it wouldn't be his fault when the teacher yelled at us/me. When the teacher finally noticed, she went, "Did you and Kyle switch seats?" I said yes. She just nodded, said "OK", and went back to her lesson. I win, Kyle. I win.
- Uhhhmmm...science is boring. I sit next to the quiet kid who never says anything, EVER, and gets straight-A-minuses. Social studies is boring, too. I sit next to a quiet-ish girl who has recently decided that she wants to hang out with the hardcore people. She's a total prep, and yet...Anyway. Boring.
- And it's Friday! YAY!!
- I just leased a horse. His name is Indie, and he's totally kickass and has no trot or lope whatsoever. He just goes straight from a walk to a canter...kinda like a times-10 of Denali (who I will always love most. <3). He also has an awesome name. Seriously, isn't Indie an awesome name? :) I ride Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. And then I have stupid freaking Faith Formation on Wednesdays. ><"
- Goin' to the Parade of Homes tomorrow, probably.
- Most likely going to the Gunflint Chocolate Fest! WOOOOT!! Gunflint is my...3rd or 4th home, cuz it's so kickarse and awesome, and chocolate is awesome too. So it're really awesome. So there. <3
- Hmm...the actual lease of Indie starts on Tuesday.
- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I have no idea what I was going to write here. But I was going to write something. And it was cool. I might put it in here if I remember.
- I'm sorta working on TT.
- Rae and I really need to pick up our pace on Fandoms. Cuz it died. And is not in my inbox right now, so I believe that it is Rae's turn.
- My head hurts. And my feet hurt. Cuz this other horse stepped on me. His name was Tango, and he's an idiot and has the weirdest darn gaits I've ever experienced. So obviously I vetoed him. :P Cuz Indie was cooler anyway.
- And that's it, cuz I think this is probably gonna be a long post right now anyway, and I have nothing else to post about, and stuffs.

Peezowt. (Yep, I stole it. Whatcha gonna do bout it Spence?)

Update-ness

I know I just posted yesterday, but today was semi-productive, so I'm gonna post again. Burn. xP

- Jasalex is baaaack! He wasn't riding the bus the first few weeks of school, which was weird, but he rode today. And I just so happened to have my duct tape (we used it for the lip sync thing at camp, and I forgot to take it out), so I duct taped his mouth for old times' sake. He took it off right away, but still. :P
- Got these weird biodots. It's taped to my right hand, and it's kind of like a mood ring, just more sensitive, and a dot. But I have to somehow keep it on my hand for 3 days, and it's nearly fallen off already...so...prolly not gonna happen.
- Saw Kaliyan again. She was walking out to marching band. I yelled her name, but she either was ignoring me or didn't hear me. Mhm.
- Started this weird project in art. It's weird, but hopefully it'll actually help me draw better...cuz so far I think it is. But anyway, it's this upside-down dude and you're supposed to draw him without thinking about what the lines represent, just drawing the lines, and so far I think it's helping, cuz mine's pretty awesome looking so far.
- Kyle, this guy in my math group, has some serious issues. With more than math, but what I was going to post about is that he argues with me every day about a different answer, and he's usually got some random weird idea. Just saying.
- Saw GAP today on the way to health. It's awesome cuz their science room is right next to my health room, and they both have science 2nd core, so I see them almost every day for at least 3 minutes. Usually more, cuz Mr. G is kickass and Mr. Miller doesn't care.
- Speaking of Mr. G, he's REALLY AWESOME. I'm jealous of upstairs for having him. Cuz he's really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY awesome. And he's gonna come into health tomorrow. Which is cool. But WAH I wanted Mr. G. :(
- Hmm. I'm really tired, and I should probably write TT, but I'm not, cuz Rae's evil and told me not to do what I was going to do, and then won't tell me what I SHOULD do...
- And I'm hungry. So I'm gonna go eat. Peace.

Campness

So. Just a few highlights from the trip this weekend. Mhm.

- We snuck out to go to McDonald's once. That was pretty cool. Nice camping experience, right? Driving up to Mickey D's for breakfast...haha. Their hash browns are GOOD, though!! I was like "WOAH!" Anyway. Yep.
- When we were driving BACK from McDonald's, we were listening to 101.3 KDWB, which is like the pop/hip hop station that all the teens listen to pretty much, and we were like "I bet we could be louder than Hannah" a really loud girl "if Party in the USA comes on." And I was like "Watch it totally come on next." And, lo and behold, BAM! Next song was Party in the USA. Heck yes. SO AWESOME.
- We won 1st place in the lip sync contest, over all. And we were counted as seniors (9-11th graders), cuz we're just that awesome and have 3 seniors in our group. But we still won 1st place with our awesome rap song. Woot.
- Hm...we got really hyper a lot.
- OOH. We had a huge splash fight when we were canoeing, and Lisa (an awesome 10th grader in our troop) pushed off of my canoe and almost tipped me over, which was really fun. And I got super wet, so I wasn't hot for the rest of the day. :D But the other girl in my canoe, Kelsey, didn't know how to paddle (she claimed she did, but she only put about 2 inches of the paddle in the water, so...), so I basically paddled our canoe around by myself. And she rested about 6 times because she was tired, even though she wasn't doing anything ANYWAY...anyway. Splash fight was awesome.
- AWESOME PSYCHIC RADIO-NESS!!!! WOOT.
- We hosted the Medallion Hunt, which is like a scavenger hunt for this medallion (duh), where the hosts put clues on the door and you have to find it. And our hiding place was under the sink in the guy's bathroom. And it was really awesome. And we gave really weird random clues to people who asked, so none of the people who tried to cheat got anywhere near it. :D We win.
- We got two "sister troops", cuz our real one ditched us, so we hung out with some people frommmmmm EP (I think) who were 7th graders and super awesome, and we made s'mores with them, and then their sister troop came (cuz theirs ditched them too) and ours called my cell phone...so we left our adopted sister troop and hung out with our real sister troop, who were 5th graders. One of them, Megan, was like dissing us, and Angela (awesome girl. Love her.) asked her if she had any brothers. She had 2 older brothers, and we were all like "Yeah, it shows." So when Lisa and I were getting a drink, she showed us where it was, and I was like "So how old are your brothers?" and she goes "13 and 16. They're losers. LIKE YOU!!" I couldn't stop laughing for like 5 minutes. She came up to my waist. It was so cute.
- Uuuuhhhhhhhhhhhmmmm...after I left, I went to a stable. And the lady there was a world-famous jumper. And I was like "Oh. Wow. Hi." Cuz I didn't know until we got there. And thennnn Starbucks (the horse) stepped on my foot, cuz he was a dork, so now my toe is all bruised and it hurts. And ohmigoodness Starbucks's trot and lope and canter are all SO WEIRD. SOOOOO WEIRD. It's like...really weird. I can't even explain it. o.O
- Then I went home and worked on my memoir. Which is about my skipping 3rd grade. And it's 562 words long. And it's really dumb. And I also worked on my poster for social studies, which only took like 2 seconds, plus a little bit to download the font I wanted onto the desktop. So yeah.
- OH. Food. We ate:
--- Dinner on Friday was DQ. I had chicken fingers and a huge chocolate cone. So did like everyone else. Not very exciting.
--- Breakfast on Saturday was McDonald's, cuz we didn't want to wake up early to make crepes, and we felt like it. So we snuck out and I had some pancakes, bacon, and a hash brown. Which was amazing. And some apple juice.
--- Lunch on Saturday was ravioli, fried over the fire. It was actually really good, even though it sounds kinda gross.
--- Dinner on Saturday was PIZZA PUDGY PIES!!!!! And s'mores, and apple donuts, and corn torches. 'Cept I didn't have a corn torch cuz I have braces. But they looked pretty good.
--- Breakfast today was crepes. They were delicioso. I put chocolate chips and whipped cream on mine. And we also had hot cocoa (which I brought, even though no one thought we'd want it. WELL everyone wanted it. So burn peeps. :D) and leftover apple donuts and muffins and stuff.

And then we left. The end. :D
