Okay, So.

It's 4 days into my 6-day vacation from school.

I'm losing my mind.

I can't stay this far away from people for so long. Cuz I live in the boondocks. everyone talks with an accent out here and its weird. I mean, I don't talk to anyone around here but still. the ones i have to talk to...they talk funny. I mean, I've lived here (the big south... NC...) for FOUR YEARS... and still... I can't get used to these weird accents. these fuckers can't talk right. I miss the north.

Anyway. I spent yesterday and today with my boyfriend and his family. Big fun. Ended in a major fight today, because I had a bit of girl talk with his sister Bella (totally not her real name, you hopeful-e-stalkers!) and our friend Cindy (again, not so much) and I told them a bit about what me and Prince Charming (lulz) HAVE done. Which isn't much. And we giggled a bit. And they, trying to be sweet, made a lot of badly hidden remarks about me being unfulfilled (doublelulz) which made Prince Charming uncomfortable. And then angry. Which blew up into this HUGE fight. I mean, what the fuck?

He really needs to get over himself. He started yelling at me like I was a child, or worse: his younger sister. And when I pointed this out, he pointed like a little kid and said, "Then why the fuck are you dating me?" and so we sat at opposite ends of a dining room table for nearly half an hour in silence.

Kill me.



GOD. I HATE MOODY MEN.




ANYWAY.


Tomorrow I should be going to see My Bloody Valentine 3D with Bella, Cindy, and Grimm. Although Grimm is afraid of scary movies, so I'm not sure that this will work out.

I guess we'll see...
Pssh, not like I won't write some funny anecdote about it tomorrow.

German Sucks.

Today was my german exam.

I could have killed myself.

we have two parts; the listening and the writing.
A total of like 24 pages of a language I DONT SPEAK.
I know I got a 37% on the written.
But it'll be curved, and averaged with my listening test grade. so, hopefully i might pass. Well, okay, no. I'm going to fail German. my parents are going to be pissed.

oh well.

so anyway. then i had to give up twenty bucks to my friend Shroom so he'd drive me to my boyfriends house. I guess it was worth it though. We got some alone time, for once.

Here's something i should explain about the BF though.

He's 21 years old, lives in an apartment with his mom and younger sister, doesn't drive (has no car or license) , and works at the grocery store down the street. And he's a virgin. Why, you ask, am I with this freak of nature?

Because I'm a sucker. and we've only been together two months but we have a strong connection and there's just something about his dorky ass that keeps my there. Even though he has like, zero ambition. In fact, his idea of ambition - get this - is moving to wherever I go to college, getting an apartment THEN (in August) and transferring to the closest Kroger. yeah. he's a dreamer, my baby is.

He's got some ultimate scheme that him and his mom's boyfriend are apparently starting some internet business, something along the same lines as amazon.com, except without having to ever see or store the merchandise anywhere. I don't know, he tried to explain it to me and I just smiled and nodded and rolled my eyes when he wasn't looking. And then, after he "becomes a millionaire" which he thinks is what is ultimately going to happen, he's going back to college THEN (which he dropped out of. granted it was community college, but still.) and get a nursing degree.


doesn't make sense.
And did I mention he's a virgin?
And that I'm 17 and I just throw myself at him and he's all, "I'm nervous, I want to wait! I want our first time to be special!" I'm sorry. I thought I was the woman here...

Sigh.
Men.
Don't.
Make.
Sense.

So, today, today, today.


I had my english exam. It was thirteen motherfucking pages long. I wanted to kill myself. I wanted to kill someone else. I don't even know. It was really annoying.

she posted the grades at the end of the day.
I got an 89 for this quarter.
and a 91 on the exam. booyah.

I rock so hard, uh huh, uh huh.


I'm proud of me. My friends are friends are proud of me. My teachers are mad proud of me. my parents? didn't give a shit.
Why do I even bother? watch. I've got three B's this semester, but i'll wind up with a D in German, and they'll flip the fuck out over that instead of being fucking happy that I got three out of four up from failing. The assholes. I hate my parents. So much.



Anyway, here's another picture. Still nothing from Hollins.

pikagame

I swear to god, this is the most brilliant idea ever.

create a site where people can play games for free, rack up points, and earn REAL prizes, like Wiis and PS3S. How do they do it? hullo, money from sponsors, advertisements, and game developers, what else?

I've been on the leaderboard for two or three weeks now. I'm really mad at myself, because I was in 4th, then I let my final exams distract me. I'm very competitive.... Anyway, now I'm in sixth. My username there is Catastrophe. Add me.

They have some of my favorite games there too, like Winterbells and FancyPants. Plus, I can get on at school. what more can I ask for?
Oh, I know. How about the fact that there's like, a constant stream of new games? yeah, that sounds good, I think.

Pikagame.com rocks hard. Bookmark it NOW.

Photography

So, I was thinking about it, and I didn't mention that I'm a photographer.
I am.
Are you excited?
Huh? huh?
Are ya?
You should be.
Hahaha. Anyway, I've been taking photography classes for four years. I own two cameras; an old Pentax K1000 35mm and my brand new baby, Nikon d80, which is a digital SLR which doesn't have quite as much control as I would like but was as much as I could afford on one summer's worth of babysitting money.
Okay, so I wanted to post multiple examples, but blogspot won't let me. be content with this unhappy turtle for now. my dog tried to eat him, so his shell was all bloody. I saved him, took pictures of him, then he bit me, the ungrateful bastard.

Well, I did it.

I finally did it. I always said I would do it and I did it.
I'm not sure why now, of all times.

You're probably wondering what the hell it is that I did...
what did I do?
I made a blog.
It's not much of an accomplishment yet, no. No one knows it exists yet. but they will. in theory.

I don't even know how one goes about making a successful blog. What should I write about? should I have a specific topic? or should this just be my silly little internet diary?

I'm thinking the latter.
So here's the deal. You, the reader, should know something about me.

I am 17 years old. I suppose I'm an average girl. There's nothing amazing about me. I live in the middle of North Carolina, but I'm not from here. I'm from the northeast. I go to Northern High School. (Go Knights!) I have a boyfriend, who is 21 and I'm pretty sure he's gay. My best friends' names are Jesse and Sarah. There's other stuff too that I'm sure I'll get to eventually, because I love to talk, and my favorite topic is - what do you know - me!

Right now, I'm struggling to get into college. My top choice is Hollins University in virginia, a womens liberal arts school. my second choice is Appalachian State. I'm crossing my fingers for both.

I feel like I should write more, but seeing as this is more of an introduction, I don't know what to write. Should I write about my day, or the awesome news I got today? I think I will.

So this week, from last friday to this wednesday, is final exams for the semester. I've been suffering through AP US History, Advanced Portfolio Photo, Honors English 4, and Honors German 3 for half the school year and now they've come to a close. I had my APUS EOC (end-of-course... thanks, 'No Child Left Behind' for your damn standardized testing) and I found out this afternoon that I made a 92 on it, one of the highest grades in the class. I came in right behind the kid I usually cheat off of, who has a photographic memory (really, its crazy), who got a 95. Anyway, I'd had a 73, but that brought my grade to a 79. Which is a C for the semester. I am SOOO thrilled, because with the AP weight, that's still like an A compared to a normal class. Booyah.

Then, I talked to my English teacher today, (third period, and trust me, this bitch is crazy) and since I had a 76, I did 15 "magic points" which are crazy hard extra credit points, which brought my semester grade up to a 91. HOLLA. (Er, yeah, I'm white, I know.) Now I just have to do well on the exam.

My photo exam was hella easy. I'm probably going to fail German. I have a 66 in that class. No lie.

When will school get easier?

Anyway, that's all for now. If you read this all, you're either some creepy e-stalker or my mom spying on me. Either way... holla.
