A redirection

Hello to all of you great and lovely people that happen to wander past, through, and around here. As you might note, if you looked down the screen a touch, I don't use this blog anymore. I do, however use the account to leave comments. If you are looking to respond to a comment I leave you or just want to read about my life (for a legal, non-creepy reason), please follow the link below to my xanga, which I update and read with a far greater frequency. Peace and Long Life.

My Xanga

(Smiles nervously and glances around)

Hi everyone! Mom has been so frequently telling me to update this, so here I am. Actually, I'm at school at the moment, in the library for my study hall. Not too much to be doing, since I can't work out how to do my chemistry. Sigh. On the upside, I fly out for CA tomorrow! Mom, Spence, and Jay left out of Machester yesterday, and tomorrow morning at seven I fly out of Appleton, stop in St. Paul, and finally end up in Sacramento. I think I'm going to spend my time in the air working on all the homework I've been assigned for this week. I have a lot of stuff to get done, and if I can do it on the plane, that would make me very happy.

Hmm, let's see. I had a pretty quiet weekend. Lots of laundry and packing. The lake flies are out here, and they're very disgusting. Especially since there are so many of them! The weather here has been gorgeous, but if you go outside you get landed on by swarms of mosquito-looking bugs. Fortunately, they don't bite or sting.

Oops, the librarian is lloking this way. I probably shouldn't be writing this on the school computer, Talk to you all later!

What do you do when...

You can't, with any sense of self pride or dignity, attach your name to a group project? We were assigned to write a song to the rhyme scheme of Yankee Doodle that ridicules Saddam Hussein. I won't even post what my dear tablemates came up with, it is simply too horrific. I wrote a new one, but I don't know if the teacher is going to accept mine, since it was supposed to be a group project. Ick. Plus, I can't really argue my points very effectively, since tomorrow is the Day of Silence at school. Sigh. That will be fun, though, I think. Except for the people who give me garbage over it.

Parent-teacher-student conferences went pretty well. Nothing very exciting. I'm a bit sleepy. I leave for CA in four weeks from today!

Prom

The past 27 hours have felt like one of those really extended airplane days. You know, it just keeps going and going and never has an end. Prom was overrated, but I'm glad I went. The music was pretty awful, but dancing with Gina, Adam, Nick, Trisha, Bre, Thor and Crystal was fun. I liked the free drinks. (Soda, people!) I liked my dress but the majority of the other people had much fancier ones. (Shrug) Ah well. I was really glad that I didn't pay any money for mine. It seems like such a waste.

Post prom was a lot more fun. I won a black and blue gym/duffle bag, and there was lots of free food. I'm always up for people who want to feed me soda, gummy bears, chex mix, and pizza. I find it entertaining that the school-sanctioned post-prom had blackjack tables set up as the primary source of entertainment.

Terry and I went to post post prom at Ben's house after he won a portable DVD player at the Y. I slept on the floor of Ben's basement and it was rather uncomfortable, but it was nice and dark and quiet. I finally got up to leave at around 13:00 today, and Terry and I went to Perkins. It was nice. Now though, all I want to do is sleep.

Los Compadres

I just got back from our Spanish field trip to Los Compadres, a Mexican restaurant. It was really good, with excellent salsa. I still don't yet have a prom dress, but I got my ticket yesterday at least. I'll probably get a dress sometime this weekend. I'm trying to think of a thesis for my war class's research paper. Any ideas? There are no limits; it just has to concern some war, battle, or related person. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone who celebrates it had a great Easter! Over here we looked for our baskets on the morning (mine was in the dryer) before going to church. After we got back from that, I talked to Mom and Dad and helped Aunt Jackie get the veggie tray ready. We had Easter dinner at Denise's house, and were over there from 3 to 7. It was very long.

Tomorrow is going to be a homework day. I have to finish up the last few bits of a couple of books, and do little bits of Spanish and chemistry. Just lots of little bits.

I need to find a prom dress sometime in the next week! Bother. I really should do that. I'm going to a Spanish restaurant on Wednesday as a field trip with my class. That should be fun.
