Tonight was an Ace Gang...

nobody@vox.com(Samantha) — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 00:41:46 -0400

Tonight was an Ace Gang Movie Extravaganza. Except it just turned out to be us calling each other slags over and over.

In a loving way, of course. Anywho,. We went and bought our tickets to see "Step Up", then walked over to Starbucks were we saw a bunch of annoying, smoking teenagers who wave their fags around trying to act cool. That's a disaster waiting to happen, I tell you. Someone's head or maybe even possibly mandible may catch fire and then all will be over! It will be utter pandemonium and just one huge bloody mess!

Anywho. We bought drinks from Starbucks (Jone's Soda for me, so I could sneak it into my purse [aka the black hole of nothinginess and despair] to take into the movies because who wants to pay $6 for a coke? Not me.) So I put that sucker in there and we went back to the theatre and got our seats when I feel a strange wet thing on my lap. I reach into my purse and pull out my basically empty Jone's Soda bottle. Hmm. Where did it go? EVERYWHERE. That's where. And then I said the "S" word and I feel reallly bad because it's just one of those things. So I ran to the loos and got a mass of paper towls (I'm sorry, trees!) and fixed the problem except not really, considering everything in my pruse was soaked. Including my bare escentuals brush. Merde.

I got over that quickly though because the dude in the movie was really groovy looking in a weird white ghetto guy kind of way.

After that was Moe's and we ate like loons on loon tablets, ie alot. The we went to Cold Stone but I didn't get any ice cream because I was as stuffed as a dressed turkey. Or something. After that we went to Ruby Tuesdays and had a laugh and then we walked and sung songs from the Wizard of Oz while passing cars honked at us because we are just that awesome. And that was that. September 16th is Kirsten's 16th birthday party and we are going dancing or something. And we get to rent a party bus! Yes! It's semi-formal though. I guess I should start shopping now, haha.

So now I'm sitting here, trying to recoop from a week of school. Maybe I'm still trying to get used to school again, but it seems like it's taking a lot out of me. Or maybe it's just because it's senior year and I just want to to be over, hah. I'm going to take the SAT or ACT soon. I heard the ACT was easier so I might go for that. But, if I get into University of Toronto I won't have to take it at all. Ooooer. That would be a plus. I really want to go there. I miss Toronto so much. I'm going to pray pray and pray some more about it, though.

This movie looks really freaking good and I can't wait to see it. :D

My life is a facsimile of a sham

nobody@vox.com(Samantha) — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 16:32:25 -0400

How well do you know your next-door neighbors?

Uhm well my neighbors on one side are Polish and have jacuzzi parties while they are completely in the nuddy pants and that is quite disturbing in the mental department. So I just try to avoid contact with them at all times. My other neighbor is a CIA agent and if you look at him straight in the eye, his eye-reader laser gun will make you go blind because we aren't allowed to see what he really looks like. Or at least that's what I think will happen because I've only seen one side of his face and he also never mows his lawn and ALSO has mysterious antennas sticking out from his roof and whatnot.

MY INTERNET HAS COME BACK TO LIFE. Yesssssssss. To relieve me of my stress while the interwebz was down, I typed up an entry while I was supposed to be finishing my newspaper story. But I did end up finishing it so, all is well that ends well. Okay so here is the entry.

10:35 pm, 15th
Holy Blimey O'Reily's trousers. I just realized I left my backpack in Jessica's trunk. Sacre bloody bleu. I have basically everything in there. Ughughguhgugh. After school, Jessica drove Jessica (another one) and I around New Tampa because we were all on an Advertising Team together. Ooer. But actually, all we really did is chased UPS Delivery men and took truffle samples from Soleil Chocolates. No, really, we actually tried to sell ads but every time we either got "Not interested, thanks." or "We will get back to you, do you have a business card or something that we can reach you by?" Which would be pretty hopefulish, right? Wrong. We didn't even have business cards. So I had to make fake ones. Makeshift business cards. What is this world coming to honestly. They were quite cool though. I just put, for the names bit, "Samantha and Jessica squared" because in my humble opinion, that is a bit more amusant than just Jessica twice. Yes? But afterwards I wondered if that would be a good idea because what if they just aren't very good in the maths department? Then what? What would they think it said, like "Samantha Jessica squared away?" or "Samantha Jessica squared off nunnykins?" Err. So basically that is my afternoon in a box, as they say in Denmark.

The internet is BROKEN. Everytime I hopen Firefox and the nice little specialized Firefox Google page doesn't pop up, a part of me dies inside. No, really. I almost pulled a Macbeth and took a chainsaw to the computer that has been so very dear to my heart. Speaking of Macuseless, we are studying that in English. It is quite interesting, although I wish Lady Macbeth would stop whining all the time. Really. I wish I could go back in time and let Shakespeare know that there is a nice little thing called "Midol" that could solve all of his tragic female characters' problems. But I guess the plays wouldn't be as exciting. But you know.

Tomorrow is Mittwoch and I think that means Wednesday but I am not exactly sure. I don't think the kids in most of my classes could get more annoying. Like, my English Honors class is such a flaming joke because all the wienerschnitzels just cheat off each other and all get crappy grades anyway. Okay so not all of the kids in there, but the majority. It's vair vair annoying. And stupid and pathetico. And I got a semi bad grade on my Lord of the Flies test. I suppose that's what I get on the other end of the firing line because I haven't actually read the book since 10th grade. :/ But my A Doll's House grade was pretty okay so at least there is that. I hope I did okay on my essay though because that was the only thing I was really worried about.

So. tired. I need to finish writing my story for newspaper (the first draft is due tomorrow) so bai. I just realized that one of the interviews I did the other day won't fit into the story at all, so that is just fine and dandy schmandy. Okay. I am glad I got this out of my system. I just had to blurb all of my thoughts onto Notepad and I will just post it later once THE INTERNET COMES BACKKKKKKKKK. Please come back. :( I am vair vair triste and my life is just one huge bakery of pain and I feel like a facsimile of a sham,

S'later.

QotD: My Intro to the Big Screen

nobody@vox.com(Samantha) — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 20:54:02 -0400

What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.

The Lion King. And I cried. I went with my Mum and one of my childhood friends and her Mum. I remember alot about that day, actually!

I saw the World Trade Center movie today and it was actually good. Sad, though. Very sad. And it just makes you relive that day, I guess. And I know that some people can make jokes out of it, and say that if you can't laugh about it then "your sense of humor sucks", well I would rather have a crap sense of humor, than be insensitive to the devasation that people went through on that day.

Rant, I know. Right after I posted the earlier blog today, I read my Bible and I felt better. Muchhhhhhh better. And now I'm here, attempting to write my story for newspaper. I've made progress. I just need to figure out how or if I should put quotes in it. I have a good amount of quotes from students to use, although I might try getting some more on Monday.
Tomorrow is church and I think I'm teaching Sunday School...? I'm not sure.
My Mum bought me a really nice top today from Forever 21 :D And lovely earrings, too. Triple yes with knobs.
I am about to have a nervy spaz, I think.

i am trodding apon the valley of the dimwitted and dull

nobody@vox.com(Samantha) — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 11:00:53 -0400

I feel like crap today.

I have to go see that World Trade Center movie because I'm doing an article on it for newspaper. And I can't just totally not give it any thought because it actually might go in the newspaper and I don't want my story to be crap if almost everyone in my school will read it. My first draft is due on Tuesday.

Well, for the majority of my classes I wander lonely as a clud. I don't have that many friends in any of my classes, except for french and german. I'm okay with that though because sometimes I would much rather be by myself occaisionally and do lonely-typewhatsit things. But I don't want to be come too anti-social or else everyone well think I'm practicing voodoo or something.

Okay so it's not that I dislike Florida (it's 100 times better than Atlanta, I'll tell you that much) but I would just rather be in T-town. So it's like Toronto>Tampa but Tampa>Atlanta. I think I would have to drown myself if I still lived there, if feels like that was forever ago but it's only been a year and a bit since.

I don't know what else to say, really. School is going to be a pain this year, I think. It's not hard, it's just alot of work that I don't really enjoy. But maybe it will just take me a bit to adjust. Yeah.
I've been snapping at everyone in my family today which makes me feel like even more crap. Nothing is helping right now. I'm going to go pray and read my Bible though because I know that will help.
Sorry, this post is really annoying.

QotD: Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?
No no no no no. I don't like tattoos.

Samantha's postulations

HEUTE IST DONNERSTAG! German is very interesting. Anything said in german is interesting. Telephone number=telephonenummer. How is that not cool? Really?

I swear, my first period class is practically a freezer on concrete blocks (it's in a portable). I am seriously contemplating wearing an Eskimo outfit to school tomorrow, complete with ice fishing poll. Because you never know.
The boy that sits behind me is incredibly and utterly annoying. And he is a redneck which of course makes everything worse. To me, he resembles a gaping codfish. I half expect him to go braindead every time he actually says a complete sentence that isn't along the lines of "Yeah I went fishing the other day." "Oh yeah today I almost hit someone with my huge truck with obnoxiously large tires."

I took my test on Lord of the Flies today and it was pretty easy. Tomorrow's test is on A Doll's House which I definitely need to reread.
Fourth is Economics. Enough said.
In 5th period which is Newspaper, I finally picked a story. I have to do an article on all of the movies about 9/11. I'll have to do research and actually watch one of those things. And we also got assigned computers! I'm by Evan and this other dude. Cool.
I'm too lazy. fdgfdg

Okay I have totally wasted my afternoon on the computer. But, I am free from the tyranny that is my Summer Reading

truffle :]

Essay! Finally. Today was a bit eh. I was definitely wandering in the Valley of the Doldrums and Dimwitedness today.
After school, my Mum took me to Soleil Chocolates which is this nice little chocolatier by my house and they have a bunch of nifty chocolates. I am quite looking forward to consuming them in bliss. We has a Senior Assembly today and it was lame. And I can barely understand what one of the APs were saying because I think he likes ebonics.

Mittwoch, hump day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I think I'm going to go take a shower and watch "10 Things I Hate About You" because I've never seen that movie ever. I can't wait until I start getting used to school more because this awkwardness is killing meeeeeeeeeee. Okay so. Tomorrow I will provide more indepth details on my day so I can remember it. Uhm yeah.

omgallie

I think Vox is actually quite cool!

I'm going to attempt to update this at least every day, a senior year diary of sorts.

And thank you omgallie for the invite code. :)

I think I can already feel the stress of my procrastinistic tendancies building up. So far I have to work on my Macbeth assignment, my Summer Reading Essay (which, thankfully, Mr. Moody {my English teacher, who will be referenced to from this moment on as "Mad Eye Moody", in the most nicest way possible. I just think it's cool that his name is Moody.} is accepting this Thursday) on A Doll's House, maths work, my 50 story ideas for Revolution (my high school's newspaper that I am on staff for), to name a few.
So, the third day of school went okay. But it's hard, because my junior year was really fantastic. I had friends in almost every class and I guess all of my classes seemed pretty easy to me. This year, though, seems alot harder, and more stressful. I don't have that many friends in my classes, but I don't really mind so much. Which suprises me! Because usually I get very melancholy about that kind of thing. I guess I'm growing up.

I felt pretty laid back in my attire today. Soccer shorts. Running shoes. Touristic tshirt I got from the CN Tower in Toronto which cleverly says "Je croyais que mon pere etait grand, puis j'ai vu la Tour CN!" And although I enjoy wearing shorts, I long for the cold. I love wearing cute scarves and petticoats and sweaters. And I miss the seasons! Florida does get cold in the wintertime, but the leaves don't change and there just isn't that nip in the air, you can almost never see your breath, and your cheeks never get rosy.

But the time will come, I suppose. Maybe I just have the Monday blues or something. Although there is alot of comfort knowing that I am a senior! Oh, the privileges. ;D Today, Amanda and I went over to our lunch table after getting something to drink for the obnoxiously long lunch lines, and 3 freshmen were sitting at our table. Hah. Hahahah. I smiled and said,"Why, hello there!" And I couldn't stop from laughing! The boy nearest to me nervously avoided my glance and refused to answer. They eventually moved. Amanda and I just simply sat in silence and stared at them until they did.

Anyway, I am going to try and do some more of my homework right now. I'm listening to Frank Sinatra which always puts me in a good mood.
