Catchin' y'all up

Approx. May 24
Bush is so annoying. He's a pain and he seems like he's trying to hard. Ugh! Anyhow, today is going alright for the most part. I woke up and got all my stuff done this morning (including moisturize my face which I didn't get to do yesterday) and I caught the bus. I ate my breakfast on the bus and joked around with Ronnie (excuse me, Ron). I saw Lindz and joked with her and Maggie til the bell. Saw Sayid for about 2 seconds and heard the DIxie Chicks on the morning video.

All six of us solofest girls (or is it seven? Kristina, Juli, Sarah, Jules, Adri, myself... isn't there someone else? I coulda sworn...) got a song to work on together (Please Mr. Postman from 1961). I'm singing alto but soprano one and two are so close to the alto part that I can't hold my own. So that sucked.
In german, we took the easiest quiz ever and did some other easy work. For Tom's birthday, we had cookie cake and were going to watch Pirates of the Caribean but didn't have enough time. :( And I wanted to watch my favorite pirates (Orlando and Johnny). Next was math. Always fun. Mr. Stewart is the same age as Mom (but a few months younger).
Science wasn't too bad. We did a lot with our partners. My partner isn't exactly a good student so I did it by myself and didn't allow him to copy it. He didn't even try to either. In choir we watched the news because President Bush came to a local high school and spoke about social security today.
In lunch, Sayid and I had another interesting discussion that included Johnny Depp, Dom, towels, accents, Tybalt and a pregnancy, LOST, making plans, and if it's possible to post Sayid's play without getting TOSed. (Yesterday, we discussed the psychological fears that is typical of our discussions. Stuff like The Forgotten and I Am the Cheese and what is real and what if what you say is really what you thinkg and vice versa and what if there are thought bubbles above your head.)
In global, we watched more of Bush's speech and I began this. Now I'm in English. We've gone over the vocabulary and are still going over the quiz. We'll get out in a minute and then, I have studyhall. I'll write more then...

Babble-Vickey (idea stolen from Dawn)

Kay, writing this in a "Babble-Vickey" form...  (Yes, that is stolen from Dawn's Babble-Dawn format.)

-Dyed Lindsay's hair red plum semi-permanent. Looks really good. She's going to do mine later-

-Going to Ali's soccer game to get myself drenched all for the sake of Lindz's relationship since Lindz and Ali haven't seen each other in like a week and are going through withdrawal. (Yes, Lindz and Ali are both female. They're both bisexual. Get over it.)-

-My head hurts from chemicals and I have no shoes to wear!-

-Sleeping at Lindsay's house again tonight-

-Oh, and trying to figure out how I'm going to break up with my boyfriend who I haven't told you all about yet. You'll get that story tonight, I promise.-

-That's all for now since Kyle'll be here soon to drive Lindz and I to Ali's soccer game. Uberfun. Not that I don't love Ali but, watching sports isn't very appealing to me and neither is watching sports in the rain in pajama pants and flip-flops.-

You all everybody!

Catchin' y'all up #2

Note: Please read these in the order in which I type them. Normally it doesn't matter *cough*Sara*cough* but, it does today. Kay? Thank you. Now, back to your regularly scheduled entries.

June 9

There was something I wanted to write the other day but I can't recall. So now, I resolve to blog every night. I'll write for 15 minutes, minimum. So now, let's see... Ooo! I got a bikini Monday. No, Tuesday. Lindz and I went to Target with Chris. He drove us there and back (unless you talk to Dad. Then, we ran into him there and he drove us home. But really, he picked us up and we drove there). I tried on a bikini and a wrap. Lindz saw it and asked if I was gonna let Chris. Yup, I did. A bllue and white tie-die bikini with a black knee-length wrap. I loved it! Color is great, fit perfect, enhances the right areas, all over great. Didn't have the money so we left and Chris drove us back. We sat in the car for a while and talked and Chirs & Lindz had a tickle fight. I'm always wary of going anywhere w/Lindz and a guy but it wasn't too bad actually. Later, I got the bikini and the wrap. So now today is Thursday. I'm sitting in choir watching West Side Story. I hate mirrored sunglasses because you can't tell where a guy's eyes are. So I ask them to remove them. Well, today my shirt is "hungry" meaning there's space between my chest and the collar. In math, I'm sitting there and I turn around to talk to Kyle for a minute (every day occurance). His eyes dart down. Talking to my chest. Great. I expect a great deal of that today. A white cami is not the best way to keep eyes off your chest, ladie. Awww... (WSS). I'll watch the next five minutes of this I guess...

Before I head to bed... I had a shrink appointment after school. I want to punch her. She annoys me. Then, I went to the pool for the first time all year. Basically laid on a lounge chair half asleep for the most part. Got a slight tan but nothing to write home about. came back, ate some pizza, used the net, Lindz came over. We jumped in the rain and laid on the tennis courts. The asphalt was warm and moist. Perfect. Volleyed the tennis ball back and forth but rarely hit it once after the serve. Came in and I took a shower. Bedtime, baby!

My back is killing me. I know why though and medicine doesn't help this cause for some reason.. Let's see... the past few days... uhhh... I wrote on Tuesday I think. Tuesday afternoon, I had a doctor appointment for my allergies. She prescribed Allegra. (Which isn't quite working today! Grrrr!) Wednesday, Jack was here all day. (She'd been out all day Monday and went home sick Tuesday.) I watched the LOST season finale. I cried when Charlie told Claire not to worry, that he'd get her baby back. (When she first named him Aaron.) Thursday (aka yesterday) I had my last choir concert of the year... possibly my last here ever. Jack and Russo have decided that I must graduate from here. I must come back for my senior year.

June 7

The other night, I said we were going out to dinner. We went to the restaurant we always go to with Gramma. Normally, I eat the same thing (chicken fingers, fries, and soda). I felt like a change so I ordered the chicken parm. with spaghetti. It was delicious. The bus boy was so cute too. Afterwards, we went to Tim Horton's and I got my second iced cappucino of the day (my first have been that day at lunch). Joey and I went to the part near Gramma's house for a bit. I used the computer for a bit and then ate some Ben and Jerry's before bed. Oh, wait. I don't think I did. I think I had some tea and watched TV with Chyna and Amber (in my new nightgown) til I fell asleep.

WOOHOO! *dance*

Kay, people, get this. I have 20, count 'em, twenty, alerts left in one of my folders. Mind you, I have countless other folders but, they're easier to get through. I will be caught up by Friday, come hell or high water. Heck, I'm gonna be at Lindsay's with no school all day Friday. I'll catch up then and the nights before. I've got a few more entries to type up but, I'm hittin the sack. G'nite and sleep tight!

A very happy (and slightly sunburnt) Vickey

5/16

Yesterday, how do I blog yesterday? Well, I woke up at 6:45(am!?!) and Mom, Joey, and I left for Dad's by 7. Pretty uneventful drive. Had really bad allergies so we had to stop at a mini mart and buy tissues. We go to Dad's  and (surprise, surprise) nobody's home and the door is locked. Mom calls the cops and an officer comes and blah blah blah. (I know this might be the interesting part for y'all but for me, it's just another day. Long story short, nobody's being arrested and Dad is in the wrong.) Mom took us to stay at Lindsay's Dad's for the day. I got on his computer (with permission of course) and I spent most of the day catching up on alerts. It took me from about 10 am to probably 3 pm to read all the alerts I had. Then, I filtered some of the elsewhere (like activities and a few long, long, long winded journalers (not that I don't love you long writers. I just wanted to get through as many as possible.) All the Saturday Sixes, Journal Jar questions, and surveys are waiting for me along with your responses (I don't read them until after I respond). So catching up is still not quite complete but is one hell of a lot closer. After I caught up, Joey left for Jordan's (and thank God because he was annoying the hell out of me) and I got in the shower. Lindz and I talked for a while and I was eating a Bit O'Honey when  I felt something crunchy. Thinking it was paper, I pulled out the bit in my mouth and inspected it. No such luck. No visible anything but... wait a minute... aw crap. (My lower retainer is just a bar of metal cemented behind my lower front teeth. There are no rules for what I can and can't eat with it.) My retainer's busted. The cement came off one of the middle teeth. Good thing my next ortho/dentist apt. is on Tuesday. But it was like taking a tight ponytail down after a long day. The tension is released and your head hurts. The tooth freed hurts and the wire is far more obvious in my mouth now. I have no wax and neither does Lindz so I asked John (Lindz's dad) if he'd take us to Wegman's so I could get a couple wax bottles to use the wax on my retainer. But not before Lindz and I finished our fight over the mouse in which we opened a billion new windows and caused a billion things to happen including biting, blowing, falling, tumbling, and dirtifying. Which was so hilarious. Basically, we both wanted the mouse and wouldn't give it up. (BTW: During my computer catch-up, Lindz was on the phone with Aric, the 34-year-old Pizza Hut server, for 3 hours.) So we went to Wegman's and got some crap. I don't remember the next bit (it's now 6/2) but eventually we went to Ali's and hung out with Ali. Oh, and I met Nick. I took a billion pictures I missed the one shot I really wanted. By this point, I really don't remember the rest of the night. I do remember feeling great and that I slept at Lindsay's. I was late for school the day I began this entry and I was sent to tardy with Lindz. We pissed off the "teacher" by conversing (mostly in sign or by mouthing it).

Skipping ahead to last night... or actually two nights ago (6/1). Senior solos. I met Lindz there but she would up sitting w/Nick and them. I sat with Kim and Christian. Kim and I were so impressed with Lester! He's never sounded that good in voice class! A bunch of other people went too and WOW! They were all so good. Afterward, I felt out of place and out of my skin. So I ran. When I started to run back, I got a cramp in my stomach and I hobbled my way back. Lindz wanted to make plans for the next day (6/2) but wouldn't tell me why or for what. Dad said I could go though. This brings me to yesterday. I woke up, went to school, uhhh boringness. I honestly don't remember much before John picked me up. I got in the car and we went to pick Lindz up from Sylvan. Apparently, my surprise was actually something I was planning for a later date. We saw The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Cute movie. But now I want to go to Greh-EE-ce and find myself a Costos. I squee-ed my way through the last half hour or so. lol. Good movie. Made me want to flirt though. When I hopped out of the car, I didn't step out. I kinda shimmied and swerved my way out. Feet on ground, lean back, knees out, lean knees forward with torso back, snap up. Lindz was amused. So I twirled to my yard and laid down for a minute in the grass. Felt won-der-ful. Got up and went inside.

How was the movie?
Fine. I think I'm drunk.
You may not want to come in and say that.
No, not like drunk but nuts.
You're probably just happy. You're not that way often so you can't identify it.
Dad, just shut up.
{insert explosion, my grabbing a water bottle and dashing upstairs with good mood mostly intact}

Lindz had texted me so I called her for a minute on my cell.

 

For some reason, that's where this entry ends. Sorry. Basically, I just went to sleep after that I think.
