I found these, and I wanted to share them...

Love:

 Boys are dumb, and I'm going to go to a convent and live there forever. I finally called Justin monday and asked him if he wanted to go out with me, brittany and her boyfriend, and Ashley and Zack. He seemed pretty excited about it, but then I call back the next day to give him more info and he seemed kinda mad. Not to mention, Zack's been calling me and now I really think he was serious when he said he liked me. I don't want to hurt his feelings, because I think he's a great guy, but I don't like him like that. Maybe I should call the whole outing off. First of all, the plan was to do something crazy. A party, go midnight hiking, stuff like that. Ashley and Zack (although I love 'em) want to go bowling. They don't want to lie to their parents because they don't wanna get into trouble. The fact is though, that me and Brittany are EXPERT liars. If they stick with us, they'll never get caught. I know what youre thinking, Isn't it bad to lie to you parents like that? Well, It's not like we're doing it to a point where we'll get hurt, because we're good kids and we know when to stop. Our parents just haven't realized this yet. ^_^

Anyway, another problem with this saturday thing is that maybe Justin really doesn't like me. I sound like such a girl, I know, but Brittany and Selena are convinced that he does. The problem is, that I'm not convinced. We stopped talking about a month or two ago when I wrote him a note saying that it wasn't right to like me only when it's convenient, I deserve better, blah blah blah, but he seemed to keep flirting with me. Like, stuffing confetti down my shirt, tickling me, and he evened mentioned (in a whisper) that he saw 27 padiddles in Springfield one day (looong story). Then, this whole dinner theater came up. Brittany told me that he was nervous that I was going to be there, and Selena swears that he winked at me and kept looking at me when he sang his solo ("I get a kick out of you" by Cole Porter). I kinda thought he winked at me, too, but I'm not sure...He seemed excited when I asked him out with us, but now he seems like he doesn't wanna go. He does this with a lot of girls, like getting close to them and then throwing them away, but I've noticed that he hasn't thrown me away yet. He keeps flirting with me, and once he's thrown a girl away he doesn't really talk to her anymore. I'm confused, dammit. 

Anyway, Happy Turkey Day!!!

 Well, I shouldn't have said that my social life was boring. It's time for me to be a real teenage girl and talk of...boys. Yes, I'm sorry. If you're bored by this stuff then go away.

 I went to history class yesterday, and me and brittany were wrting notes to each other like we always do. We got on the subject of Justin, and she suddenly goes beserk. She grabbed my notebook and wrote "he still likes you" and I was like...huh? This was my first "0_0" of the day. Well, it turns out that she told him I was going to the dinner theater Sunday (he's also in it), and he said "great, now I have a reason to be nervous". Anyway, I didn't really think anything of it, and I told her that until he makes some type of move I wasn't going to get too excited. Moving on to the Michigan band concert. On the bus ride over, Zach and Justin were a bit too friendly. I was pretty shocked that Zach was acting like that, but he has been showing a little interest in me lately. Anyway, Selena, Amanda and I sat with him at the concert, and he kept poking me and stuff. Justin seemed a little upset about something, but I don't really know what he was upset about. Anyway, on the way home Zach wanted to sit with me. I said ok, and Justin sat in the seat in front of us. They were both acting pretty weird and kept tickling me and touching my hair and crap, but then it happened. Selena blew up because she thought what Zach was doing was innapropriate. She's very protective of me I guess, because she just started yelling at Zach to back off. He got kind of upset, and then he said "I'm going to be honest: I like you. But, I have a girlfriend and it wouldn't be right to dump her." Zach is a great guy and everything, but I don't like him like that, so I just said "ok..." so I wouldn't hurt his feelings or anything. Second "0_0" of the day. So, the rest of the way home Zach kept wanting to talk about Cory. He said that at band camp (because he shared a dorm with Cory) Cory kept saying that we had sex and I gave him head a few times which is completely untrue. Zach didn't believe him because even though me and Cory went out, he didn't think I would do that. This news didn't suprise me, because Justin was always asking what exactly Cory and I did when we went out. I guess my ex really is a scumbag. Third, and last "0_0" of the night.

 Besides that, Michigan's band was AWESOME. 245 members of the band, and they all cramped in a tiny gym. The sound was amazing, and it just blew your mind away. Oh! Has anyone heard that Colin Powell thinks Iran is making nuclear weapons?

Here goes the neighborhood.

Don't you just hate it when life gets so...predictable? Sucks, doesn't it? Anyway, I have an essay to write tonight, an essay to revise tonight, and a psychology paper to write tommorow night. Fun, fun, fun. Friday I get to go to Columbus to see Michigan University's marching band perform (damn skippy), and then Sunday we're going to Brittany's dinner theater. And the next week? Thanksgiving break! I finally get to go shopping for clothes that actually fit (oh, they're not supposed to hang off of me like a bag?).

Good news and bad news, however. Bad news? My microbiology class closed and I couldn't get in for Winter quarter. Good news? More free time.  

 After reading a post on Whynot's blog, one of his ideas rubbed off on me. Here goes...

 To all of the people of the world (besides america, your rant's next)...I am sincerely sorry about the election. Not all of us are morons, and I think that's something that really needs to be understood. I can't speak for the rest of america, but I know a lot of people that get freaked out about all of this. The point is, It's scary. Living here, knowing that Bush is in control and that he can do anything he wants is pretty damn scary. I'm not trying to be funny, because this isn't a funny situation. Not all of us are stupid, although I know that it seems that way. Please, please don't judge this whole country as if we were all politically retarted. Anyway, bottom line? I apologize, and some of us are just as scared as you are.

 If you do live in america? Congratulations. You just screwed over your elders, children, grandchildren, the soldiers overseas, and maybe unexpecting countries that have never done any thing to us (*cough*Iraq*cough*). You have also suceeded in making us (officially) one of the most hated countries in the world. Quite a bunch of overachievers, aren't you?

 Now if you'll excuse me, I have a life to get to. God only knows how long it'll be here...

Well, I guess things are starting to get back to the way they were. I'm not going to worry about anymore of this "Bush" crap because wasting my time on him, well that would make him win, wouldn't it?

Anyway, back to normal life. I dyed my hair black because I wanted change. I think I want it back to reddish brown though, because black just isn't me. I've had reddish brown hair forever, and I even have a picture of me when I was 2 in my room where my hair is just soo red and light that I feel bad everytime I look at it. I want my old hair back! I guess besides that, not much else is going on. College mostly, and I'm getting kind of depressed because I'm not having ANY fun like a normal teenager. I'm 16, all my party friends are graduating this year and I feel like If I don't have fun NOW I'll miss out. It feels like everything is at a standstill and I just want to have fun. The fact that most of my old friends have been turned against me doesn't help, either. Of course, it had to be the fun ones: Justin, Brittany W...mainly Justin. Oh well, I guess wishing doesn't do any good. If they want to give up on friendship so soon, then who needs them?

Sorry if this seemed too childish. I honestly care about this country, and I still think bush is an illiterate moron, but I need to start acting like a kid again. I have 2 years to adulthood, and I need to have the fun of being 16. Come on, God. Bring on party time...please?

This man from Georgia shot himself at ground zero because he was distraught over bush's re-election. Why can't people see what a huge mistake they made by voting bush in office again? If people are willing to commit suicide just to escape him...well, doesn't that seem a little odd? What if this isn't the last time someone commits suicide just because bush is in office? It's insane, and I know that bush is too heartless to give a damn...but shouldn't our country care?

From the mind of Michael Moore...17 Reasons not to slit your wrists because of the election results.

------------------------- ---------------

1. It is against the law for George W. Bush to run for president again.

2. Bush's victory was the NARROWEST win for a sitting president since Woodrow Wilson in 1916.

3. The only age group in which the majority voted for Kerry was young adults (Kerry: 54%, Bush: 44%), proving once again that your parents are always wrong and you should never listen to them.

4. In spite of Bush's win, the majority of Americans still think the country is headed in the wrong direction (56%), think the war wasn't worth fighting (51%), and don’t approve of the job George W. Bush is doing (52%). (Note to foreigners: Don't try to figure this one out. It's an American thing, like Pop Tarts.)

5. The Republicans will not have a filibuster-proof 60-seat majority in the Senate. If the Democrats do their job, Bush won't be able to pack the Supreme Court with right-wing ideologues. Did I say "if the Democrats do their job?" Um, maybe better to scratch this one.

6. Michigan voted for Kerry! So did the entire Northeast, the birthplace of our democracy. So did 6 of the 8 Great Lakes States. And the whole West Coast! Plus Hawaii. Ok, that's a start. We've got most of the fresh water, all of Broadway, and Mt. St. Helens. We can dehydrate them or bury them in lava. And no more show tunes!

7. Once again we are reminded that the buckeye is a nut, and not just any old nut -- a poisonous nut. A great nation was felled by a poisonous nut. May Ohio State pay dearly this Saturday when it faces Michigan.

8. 88% of Bush's support came from white voters. In 50 years, America will no longer have a white majority. Hey, 50 years isn't such a long time! If you're ten years old and reading this, your golden years will be truly golden and you will be well cared for in your old age.

9. Gays, thanks to the ballot measures passed on Tuesday, cannot get married in 11 new states. Thank God. Just think of all those wedding gifts we won't have to buy now.

10. Five more African Americans were elected as members of Congress, including the return of Cynthia McKinney of Georgia. It's always good to have more blacks in there fighting for us and doing the job our candidates can't.

11. The CEO of Coors was defeated for Senate in Colorado. Drink up!

12. Admit it: We like the Bush twins and we don't want them to go away.

13. At the state legislative level, Democrats picked up a net of at least 3 chambers in Tuesday's elections. Of the 98 partisan-controlled state legislative chambers (house/assembly and senate), Democrats went into the 2004 elections in control of 44 chambers, Republicans controlled 53 chambers, and 1 chamber was tied. After Tuesday, Democrats now control 47 chambers, Republicans control 49 chambers, 1 chamber is tied and 1 chamber (Montana House) is still undecided.

14. Bush is now a lame duck president. He will have no greater moment than the one he's having this week. It's all downhill for him from here on out -- and, more significantly, he's just not going to want to do all the hard work that will be expected of him. It'll be like everyone's last month in 12th grade -- you've already made it, so it's party time! Perhaps he'll treat the next four years like a permanent Friday, spending even more time at the ranch or in Kennebunkport. And why shouldn't he? He's already proved his point, avenged his father and kicked our ass.

15. Should Bush decide to show up to work and take this country down a very dark road, it is also just as likely that either of the following two scenarios will happen: a) Now that he doesn't ever need to pander to the Christian conservatives again to get elected, someone may whisper in his ear that he should spend these last four years building "a legacy" so that history will render a kinder verdict on him and thus he will not push for too aggressive a right-wing agenda; or b) He will become so cocky and arrogant -- and thus, reckless -- that he will commit a blunder of such major proportions that even his own party will have to remove him from office.

16. There are nearly 300 million Americans -- 200 million of them of voting age. We only lost by three and a half million! That's not a landslide -- it means we're almost there. Imagine losing by 20 million. If you had 58 yards to go before you reached the goal line and then you barreled down 55 of those yards, would you stop on the three yard line, pick up the ball and go home crying -- especially when you get to start the next down on the three yard line? Of course not! Buck up! Have hope! More sports analogies are coming!!!

17. Finally and most importantly, over 55 million Americans voted for the candidate dubbed "The #1 Liberal in the Senate." That's more than the total number of voters who voted for either Reagan, Bush I, Clinton or Gore. Again, more people voted for Kerry than Reagan. If the media are looking for a trend it should be this -- that so many Americans were, for the first time since Kennedy, willing to vote for an out-and-out liberal. The country has always been filled with evangelicals -- that is not news. What IS news is that so many people have shifted toward a Massachusetts liberal. In fact, that's BIG news. Which means, don't expect the mainstream media, the ones who brought you the Iraq War, to ever report the real truth about November 2, 2004. In fact, it's better that they don't. We'll need the element of surprise in 2008.

I never thought I'd see the day where I wanted Michigan to beat OSU. But, go ahead Michigan. We deserve it.  

And here, in light of recent events, is a song by the Descendents that really, really gets what America's about.

We flipped our finger to the king of England

Then stole our country from the indians

with God on our side, and guns in our hands

we took it for our own

built a nation dedicated to liberty

justice and equality

does it look that way to you? It doesn't look that way to me

the sickest joke I know

Listen up man, I'll tell ya who I am

just another stupid american

you don't wanna listen, you don't wanna understand

so finish up your drink and go home

I come from the land of Ben Franklin

Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman

Otis Redding, Ellington

the country that I love...

but it's the land of the slaves and the Klu Klux Klan

Haymarket riot and the great depression

Joe McCarthy, Viet nam

The sickest joke I know...

I'm proud and ashamed, every 4th of July 

You've got to know the truth, before you say that you've got pride   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;         & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;         & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;

I have one more thing to say: I was ready to go ahead and respect your opinion (you know who you are), but then I got on a your blog and found that you had disabled yo ur comments. Just for the record, if you want to come on other people's blogs and criticize the way they think, then you should damn well let us go and criticize the way you think. Get a backbone and enable your comments, then your opinion might be respected.

 I have to go to my college in 20 minutes to schedule my classes for Winter quarter. Bleh. I hate my schedule that I made, but I guess I have to compromise with the system a little bit. The only part I don't really like is the Microbiology class that's an hour and 25 minutes long. I'm used to high school, where all the classes are only 50 minutes. I don't even have the attention span for 50 minute classes! Oh well, I guess doing college in high school is good in some ways. I get the college experience, and It's 2 free years of college that I don't have to pay for!

 Thanks to all the people that have been commenting, even if you are against me. ^_^ And if you aren't against me, thanks for defending me. I guess in the past couple of days, reality has been setting in, and I've decided to calm down a bit. Bush can go right ahead and fuck up my country, but he won't fuck up my day.

 Ah! I just love listening to all the "Bush Lovers". I can't say much else, I mean I feel sorry for them. They don't know much about what Bush has done, especially here in Ohio. We HAVE lost plenty of jobs, it took my cousin 6 months to find a job that would (barely) support her. And the fact that Bush comes in and basically says that Ohio is lying and that we haven't lost that many jobs pisses me off to no end. Long story, short? Homophobic Bush lovers need to shut the fuck up, especially when they can't even begin to imagine the problems here. Anyway, the homophobic bush lovers have ONE thing right: we are stuck with bush for 4 more years, whether we like it or not. The fact is, however, that I have the right to complain and I intend on exercising that right. The signs and stickers I have all over my car prove that. ^_^

 I hate this Country. The democratic system is fucked up, and we have George W. Bush as proof. Either the American people really are too stupid to see what a jackass Bush is, or he fixed the election. Either way, America is screwed, and either way George Bush is not my president. I will not stand for the pledge of alliegance or recite it. I will not stand for the National Anthem. And if I find my flag, I will fly it at half mast. Maybe I sound childish, but this is the way I feel and this is the way I will act. Brittany and I plan on wearing black all this week, and if God decides to fix America and have Bush assasinated (hey, I still have a little hope), then I will wear bright colors.

What good came out of this election? Well, It just prooves that you can speak English as a second language, fix the election in your favor, and/or be a total dumbass and still be president. God speed, America. You're on your own now...

 Wow, I haven't written an actual post for a while. Well, I gave Justin a note about a month ago saying "It's not fair that you like me ONLY when it's convenient, I deserve better" and he hasn't called me since. He's been civil, but...yeah. Anyway, Our last game was the 29th and it was directed by the seniors. Martin said it sucked, and that the juniors need to start showing what senior leadership should be. Justin got very, very upset so me and Brittany P went to make sure everything was alright, talked to him and stuff. I came in the band room to change and I started crying my eyes out. He was really upset, and he even started crying a little and it hurt-it hurt a lot. I don't know what's up with me, but I felt like I wanted it to be me so upset, not him because he didn't deserve it. Anyway, I called the next day to make sure he was alright and he said that he was, but it seemed like he was in a hurry so I said goodbye. Me and Selena went to Ashley's to pick up her and Zach to go trick-or treating and Laura and Brittany W came walking up to us. They acted so sweet and cocky that it made me sick. They finally left, but not before saying that they were going to a haunted house that night with Brittany's boyfriend and Justin. Now, I keep thinking, I actually helped him when he was so upset, I cryed and I wanted to switch him places, and for what? He doesn't care, and he hasn't even bothered to tell me "thanks" or anything. Maybe I'm being selfish. He makes me sick, his little friends who NEVER bothered to come see how he was AT ALL make me sick, and George Bush makes me sick. ^_^ I had to fit him in somewhere. He's going to win the election by fixing it, no doubt, so I refuse to acknowledge him as my president.

So there.
