Teddy-anda, the racist bear

So, right now I should be doing 3 pages of pre-cal, reading and answering questions on the scarlet letter, finishing make-up spanish work, and make-up accounting work, with guidbook questions for history, and learning some music for band. All these things must be done sometime before 6:30 tomorrow. I'm not sure if I can do it, especially since I can't seem to get started because I'd rather waste time typing. They're serving quiznos again!!! Oh, by the way, if anyone out there is interested, I am running for state BETA officer (I love convention)

I finished everything, sans Scarlet Letter. And studying for Spanish, in case she throws some screwy curve, which I doubt she will. I am very tired and very hungry.

Feelin' Blue

Only while babysitting can one really reflect on what has happened recently and realize how stupid one feels because one realizes they are an ass sometimes. They also realize that they aren't good with kids.

I got a shot in the buttocks

So my parents (being into homeopathic remedies as they are) decided that since I could no longer speak in complete sentences and they were really bad at charades that we should visit a doctor. Not wanting to wait 4 days for an appointment, we went to the primacare or permacare or whatever clinic in Mckinney. After a 2 hour wait in which we almost got to watch all of The Pacifier with Vin Deisel (i can't even express my joy) the doctor told me I had either strep or mono. He tested for strep first by shoving an overgrown q-tip into my tonsils (which are touching and pushing back my uvula, by the way). If it wasn't strep, I would've had to have given blood and waited 3 more days. The last time I was given a choice between pills and a shot of peniscillin (sp?) I , like an idiot, chose the gargantuant pills--I was not gonna be stuck with horse pills this time. So the nurse comes in with the shot and says that she is sorry but it must be applied to "my rear". The shot itself didn't hurt, but now I cannot sit down for the mold coursing through my veins. On top of this, I still have to take pills! I haven't eaten in days, I've had a grotesque amount of apple juice and there is mucus draining from my nose and other cavities, but it can't make it down my throat, so I have to spit every 10 seconds or so....excuse me......ok, better. I'm going to fail my classes because I will be back tues. or wed.

I'm sorry I haven't been answering my phone, most of the time I haven't been able to locate it and even if I could I am rather disinclined to talk. I'm also sorry for all the crap I stuck people with by being out, and a final apology to anyone who sits at my desks at school, you might not be able to talk in a couple days.

OK, part deux. After we left the clinic, the main belt on the van broke (luckily I had moments earlier insisted a visit to Starbucks, so we were in that parking lot) and we called Shelly to come pick us up, but she had just spilt paint all over her floor (it was latex based, so anything with oil will dissolve it, don't worry) so we had to wait inside a loud Taco Cabana where I force drank 3 medium Sprites with lemons and limes squeezed in. So we did all this crap, went to Wal-Mart (only the best, right) and I just got home to journal these happenings.

Good thing I got the shot, or I might've been faced with another onion poultice :-)

I think I have brain damage because I just spent almost a minute trying to figure out why my "G" in Good wouldn't capitalize. I discovered that it was because I actually have to push the shift key, not just will it depress.

If I die, you'll be the first to know---off to bed!!

You Should Learn Swedish
Fantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general.Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!






Your Birthdate: April 18



Your birthday on the 18th day of the month suggests than you are one who can work well with a group, but still remain someone who needs to maintain individual identity.

There is a humanistic or philanthropic approach to business circumstances in which you find yourself.

You may have good executive abilities, as you are very much the organizer and administrator.



You are broad-minded, tolerant and generous; a compassionate person that can inspire others with imaginative ideas.

Some of your feelings may be expressed, but even more of them are apt to be repressed.

There is a lot of drama in your personality and in the way you express yourself to others.

Oddly enough, you don't expect as much in return as you give.

En Espanol

Oye, acabo de encontrar esta canción. Es mi canción favorita de la Calle de Sésamo. Usted lo debe saber como el uno con los puercos de baile.


I was feeling low, I was kinda blue
But that's all gone since I got something new

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And my new walk suits me fine

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And it makes my spirit shine

It's a little bit of strut and a lot of smooth
And a little bit of bouncing fine
My chin is up, my feet don't stall
When I walk my walk, I walk real tall

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And it shows how good I feel

This little piggy went to the market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy got a whole new walk
And look at these pig feet take me home

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And it shows I've got some sense

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And I walk with confidence

I got a new way, way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)

(repeat and fade)

DCI

So, if you watched the finals not only do you know who won--don't spoil it for those who are going to watch my expertly crafted DVD--and you also realized that the DCI finals were bookended by football. Coincidence, I think not. Everybody write an email to ESPN2 and tell them how much we love them now for airing a show that got us to watch an otherwise dreadful channel.

Where are they when I need them

You know, EA games makes all of these sports games, nfl, nhl, nba, mlb, wnba, golf, etc. But, where are the marching band, cheerleading, and drill team games? Just think, you could be obsessed with video games while learning music or drill, the possibilities are endless. We can sell it at band and body.

'Twou'd be awesome. A completely untapped market to call our own. Let's just hope no one steals it from us.

Miscommunication

I found out that my phone was accidentally disconnected this week, so if you've tried to reach me during the week and failed, I aplogize and I hope that you could live without the comfort of my eternal wisdom :-)

Well, after a stint of being out of favour with my class, I was elected class officer this year (probably because they want someone responsible so prom is a success) The VP's are unhappy with their positions and they feel that the class sponsors daughter was appointed as president because of obvious bias. I am PR officer, which is actually pretty big for the Junior class. It seems that I get offices that are low as far as title ranking, but huge on work.

Two days ago, I accidentally slept from 5 pm to 11:30 pm and had to get up at 3 am so I was tired and today I had to get up at 4 to finish some work. The cycle will never end, but I found that I like doing my work early in the morning rather than the evening--it gets me in the mood for school.

The Peter Furrito (sp?) leadership workshop was last night, and while I didn't like it at first, my feelings changed toward the end. I felt that the lectures where riddled with leadership and life cliches, which is why I often had trouble speaking up because I hate cliches. However, I realized that I found these things cliche because of all the leadership things I have been through. I enjoyed to interview, but it will still be a challenge to treat everyone equally.

Football game today against Community. YAY long bus rides. I'm bringing about 5 ties, so if anyone wants to dress up for once for the theme...
