Went upstairs to hang with Mike cause he brought the old computer into his room. Lol. I had fun watching him play some games and I started homework. Had some lunch and we goofed off. It got pretty snowy outside! Matt came over and the insanity continued on into the afternoon. We really had fun up there. Watched some of our old shows and came up with some ideas for our new one. Had a yummy dinner. Watched "Frasier", a really good "60 Minutes", and a funny "Simpson's". Me and mom looked through the Avon catalogue that this lady gave us and came up with a list of the stuff we want. Then we watched "The Apprentice".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up and just felt crappy. I did my routine and stuff and then decided that I just didn't feel well enough to go to school. Mom let me stay. She took Mike and then came back to talk and watch TV with me. She left for work. I watched "Perry Mason" and then spent some time on the computer. I listened to music, looked through icons and stuff. Logged onto the internet really quick to do some LJ stuff. Had lots of comments to reply to. Got off, made some Ramen and ate while watching "Lucy". Mike and mom came home and now I'm on here. That was a nice day off, that's all I needed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-3003462068416001849?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/3003462068416001849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=3003462068416001849' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/3003462068416001849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/3003462068416001849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2007/01/sun-and-mon_29.html' title='sun and mon'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-7821397459916308785</id><published>2007-01-27T14:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-27T14:37:02.208-08:00</updated><title type='text'>fri and sat</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Peace Pride Day! Woke up, did routine, had an ok ride. Sat in the cafe in the morning and then talked with Celi at her locker. Saw a Power Point in Drawing and then worked on our chair projects. Kind of a lame WQOP. In French, we just went over the homework. Did a criticism thing on our paper bag drawings in Art, got some good suggestions. Introduced a new project and saw a video in World Religions. Went to the PC lab in Economics and we took an easy quiz. Talked a lot in lunch and homeroom with Celi and that was really fun. :D Did our last writing workshop in AP. Then it was time for the Spirit Assembly! It was more fun than I thought it would be. We had senior MC's so that was fun. There were dancing contests and musical chairs with Ms. Carroll (heehee). It was pretty good. Mom and Mike came to get me after school. Guess what?? My book came from Lulu!! It's really cool looking! :) Came home, watched "Jeopardy" and talked. Dad came home, I showed him my book. :) Then we went out to dinner. Yummy. Came home, spent some time on the net. Got off, watched "Trading Spouses" and "Frasier" and then "Monty Python" happened to be on!! LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, read a bit. Watched some TV and had breakfast. Got dressed and we went to Mike's high school registration. I drove, heehee. So, that was pretty quick and easy. Then we went to "Kmart", and "Dominick's". Came home and had some lunch. The parents went out and while they were gone we sat on the computer. But the internet was being stupid so we convinced the parents to let us go to the library!! So just me and Mike went, it was really cool.  We spent about two hours there on the internet cause they have a faster connection. Spent some time on LJ and watched the HP trailer. :) Came home and now I'm on here.

So, we went through two lines and then waited to take the road test. This old dude gave me the test. It really wasn't hard at all! We drove through my grama's neighborhood. LOL. So, I passed and they took my picture and I am now a licensed driver!!! It feels awesome! We went to go show my Grama and then came home. I drove, heehee.

Lol. Had a really odd dream. Woke up and I was really in a bad mood. Did routine, had an ok ride. Had to go into the counselor's room to finish up our group poster for Economics. Blah. Stood by the window with the peeps then. Talked about our weekends and read "Le Petit Prince" in French. Workshopped a paper in AP. Art was fun, we did our paper bag drawing. Economics was actually good as well. We had a 'Junior Achievement' presentation. This dude and this lady came. The dude was from "Edward Jones" and he was really interesting. And the lady gave us some good scholarship info. Talked a lot in lunch, got measured for caps and gowns in homeroom. World Religions was good, we started a group project. In Drawing, she did a demonstration and then we started a new thing. After school, sat in the library as always on the internet. Came home and there was a package from my Grama in Arizona! She sent Mike a new baseball hat (since his old one from her is filthy) and she sent me some nice Navajo jewelery! It was a nice thing to get. :) Had dinner, watched TV and did homework. Got on the net and browsed around. Got off, watched some TV and then just relazed in bed reading. I was so emotionally and physically exhausted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up and got my monthly friend. Wahoo. I actually didn't mind getting it cause at least it explains why I've been such an emotional crapheap. Did routine, had an ok ride. Talked in the cafeteria with the peeps. Watched a video in Drawing. Had a sub in French so we just answered questions on "Le Petit Prince". Got into groups in World Religions and we drew our poster. Talked a lot in lunch and homeroom, and in homeroom I drew a tree. Lol. Did our presentation in Economics and so did two other groups. And then we just did book work. Art was really super fun. We watched the same video as in Drawing but I didn't have to pay attention. So, I spent the whole time working on my paper bag drawing! It was awesome. Workshopped my paper in AP, had to get used to the new workshop group! Lol. After school, went to FNHS where we had tons of business to sort out. When that was over, I sat on the computer in the library. Came home, ate dinner, did my Economics homework and now here I am.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-6149304879860140904?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/6149304879860140904/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=6149304879860140904' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/6149304879860140904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/6149304879860140904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2007/01/mon-and-tues_23.html' title='mon and tues'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-8511735468704841716</id><published>2007-01-21T15:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-21T15:52:48.480-08:00</updated><title type='text'>sat and sun</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; GOOOO BEARS!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, read a bit of one of my old journals. Watched some TV with Mike and fooled around. Got dressed and we went out to the dentist. I made sure I went first to get it over with, lol. Made sure I didn't get those stupid x-rays. :P It was a quick and painless cleaning other than a bit of soreness. So, read some magazines while I waited for dad and Mike to get finished. We got some yummy beef sandwiches for lunch. Came home and my report card was there! I did pretty well. Ate lunch and the parents went out. While they were gone, me and Mike acted like crazy people. LOL. They came home, we watched TV and did some homework. Had dinner, got on the net. Browsed around. Got off, had chocolate shakes and watched "Seabiscuit". "Monty Python" was sooooo good!! Then we went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Had an awesome dream, but it's much too long to type. Lol. Woke up, it snowed a lot overnight! Sweeet. Smelled delicious turkey when I woke up, lol. Yummy. So, watched some TV, read the paper. Got on the computer and started to tackle that damn research paper. Stopped for a delicious turkey lunch. It was like Thanksgiving again! LOL. Mike and dad went out for haircuts. Me and mom looked at some pics on the computer. They came back and I finished writing my paper! Watched the end of "Simon Birch"....sooo sad! And then it was.....GAME TIME!!! Bears VS Saints, the game for the Superbowl! Did some of my sketching homework while watching. It was quite a game and we really played it well! The stadium was going crazy and it was snowing like mad! It was a real Chicago football game. Ahhh, da shit man, da shit. It was really awesome. AAAAAAAAAAAAAND..........WE WON!! SUPERBOWL XLI HERE WE COME!! It's gonna be sooooo cool! And now I am on here.

Did a multiple choice in AP, that was crap. Did some warmups and then continued the square project in Drawing. Took a quiz and some notes in World Religions. Talked a lot in lunch and homeroom. Got our tests back in Economics....eh. We did bookwork in groups in there. Last period was Art where we mounted our nine lines drawings on black paper with rubber cement that stunk to high heaven! Ew. After school, I spent two whole hours in the library sitting on the internet. Wow. My eyes burned afterwards, lmao. Came home, had dinner, watched TV and did homework. Got on the net, did the usual stuff and ironed things out with Lin. Yay.

Mrs. Haskins really didn't like it! LOL! Went to the counselor in Art for our yearly meeting thing. It was kinda boring, there's nothing to talk about! Lol. Started a new project in Art. Went to the PC lab for Economics where we did research for our project type thing. My group ignored me once again so I sat by Celi and browsed the net. Talked a lot in lunch and homeroom once again. Lin popped into homeroom! Lmao! I drew a bit, we tallked and Celi drew me a pretty picture. :) World Religions was kinda fun, we discussed an upcoming field trip and some other stuff. Had an author presentation in AP that was pretty good. After school, surfed the net. Came home, had dinner and watched TV. Then me and my parents had SoxFest Battle 2007: Round Two. I'm trying my hardest here. And now I am online. Well, hope everyone is having fun at the dance!!

Odd. Woke up and I was soooo tired and my bed was soooo comfy. Gah. Did routine. It was snowy outside so we had a pretty bad ride, I got to school later than usual. Talked in the cafe. Drawing was first. We had a sub, we just kept on doing our viewfinder drawing. In French, we began the subjunctive. Some people shared their gifts in World Religions and we also started talking about the different religions that there are. Lunch was really fun!! We talked a lot, good times. Had to sit through some presentation on bullying in homeroom. Lol. Economics was boring, my group ignored me once again so I just worked on the worksheets. Did some sketches in Art. Did an essay practice thing in AP, it was a hard one. After school, mommy came to pick me up. We came home, watched "Jeopardy" and I did some of my homework. Dad came home and we had dinner. Got on the computer and wrote up my vocab paragraph for AP. Then I got on the net and spent some time browsing good old LJ and IM-ing peeps. Got off and watched the season premiere of "American Idol"!!!! I looooooooove that show!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up and was tired once again. Blah. Must get to bed earlier. Mike stayed home, said he didn't feel good. Had a really good ride, got out by school really quickly. So we stopped at "Dominick's". Lol. So, got to school, met up with Lin and Keli. Went to their lockers and then to the cafe where we all talked and divided up my chamois, lol. Went to the library for AP, worked a bit on my paper and browsed the internet. Soooo distracting. :P In Drawing, we started to cut up our square thing to make a cool mosaic type thing. It'll be cool. Did some more sketching in Art. Took an easy test in Economics and then worked on a worksheet. Lunch was really fun, we talked a lot again. Good times. Talked a lot in homeroom as well and filled out a survey on the senior video. Got into groups in World Religions and discussed the homework from last night. My group also discussed the Chicago Bears. Lmao. Today was a song day in French!! One person presented and we got cupcakes. Yummmy. After school, sat in the library doing internet things. Lol. Came home, had dinner, did homework, got on here. Later.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-8557069022900900744?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/8557069022900900744/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=8557069022900900744' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8557069022900900744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8557069022900900744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2007/01/tues-and-weds_17.html' title='tues and weds'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-6903559644904053706</id><published>2007-01-15T13:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-15T13:38:01.600-08:00</updated><title type='text'>sun and mon</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; calm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched some TV. Read my usual parts of the paper. Had a croissant for breakfast, yummy! Then I read "My Sister's Keeper" until it was finished. What a wonderful and sad book. Such a well constructed story. I recommend it to everyone. So, when I finished it, I went upstairs and wept because it was sooooo sad, LOL. Then I watched the Bears game! Also had some lunch. I usually don't watch whole games but I sat there the whole time for this one. It was a pretty good game! Went into overtime and we won!!! Sweetness! Took a shower and then got on the net. Did my usual stuff. Also edited the novel and uploaded it to Lulu. Wrote the final chapter! It's all uploaded and it'll come in 1-3 weeks! Awesomeness. Somewhere in there I ate dinner in front of the computer, lmao. I was on for 4 hours, sheesh. Got off, watched "The Apprentice" and then various other television until bedtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Day off!! Thanks MLK! :) Woke up, mom left for work and I watched "Perry Mason". When that was over, we began filiming for our Monty Python parody at about 10:30 and didn't stop until noon. That was a lot of work! I'm tired, lol. So, we ate lunch, blasted music and watched some "Lucy". Mom came home. We showed her what we had done and then filmed some more. Now I'm on here.

We got to school really early. Met up with Keli &amp; Nicole and then Lin &amp;amp; Keli. Sat in the cafe talking. Continued viewfinder thing in Drawing. Saw a WQOP that was packed with MLK stuff, lol. Went to the library for French and did research on "Le Petit Prince". Finished the nine line drawing in Art. More extremely easy groupwork in Economics. Talked in lunch, talked and read in homeroom. Talked about community and the class guidelines in World Religions. Went to the PC lab for AP. Got two whole paragraphs written! Wahoo. Lol. Sat in the library after school on the net. Had a rainy ride home. Ate dinner, watched TV, went through the art supply list with mom. Got on the net and browsed around for a looooong time. Got off, had some delicious cake that mommy made and edited 3 chapters of my novel. Got off, watched TV and talked until bedtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched TV and read some of my book in Mike's room. It is such an unbelievable book, I love it. The title is off to the left side of this page. Parents went out to the store. I read the whole time they were gone. They came home, we put away groceries and they went to get some lunch. We watched "Digimon" while they were gone, heehee. They came back and we ate. Got dressed and we went out to "Michael's". Got all my art supplies, some of them were kind of expensive! Went to "Orland Library" and browsed around in there. It is soooo huge! It's really nice. Nipped over to "Menard's" and got some chamois for art class. Came home, watched "Digimon" with Mike and drew some stuff for my viewfinder drawing. Me and Mike had fun being insane, lmao. Had dinner and now I am on here.

Did routine, had an ok ride. Talked in the cafe and got more details about SoxFest from Nicole. Good times. Went in the library for AP, did my outline. In Drawing, we did a warm-up exercise and then began drawing this grid picture with a viewfinder. Art was fun, we began a nine lines drawing. Economics was kinda boring, took notes and did a kind of pointless group project. Talked in lunch and homeroom. Kept introducing people in World Religions. In French, it was the first day we were doing the favorite song presentations. It was fun! We got cookies! Lol. After school, sat in the library on the internet. Came home, had dinner, watched TV. Got on the net. Got off and we went to Mike's school for the science fair. He got a second prize! Awesome. We looked around at all the exhibits, it was fun. :) Came home, watched TV and then some of "Goblet of Fire".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine. Met up with Keli and Lin at their lockers. Then went into the cafe and talked. Poor Lin! We got her to go to the counselor about the assholes in AP. Went over the exam in French. Went to the PC lab for AP. Sat with Celi, I just couldn't write, I had no ideas. Heard the good news that Lin is able to switch out of her AP class and into mine!! Yayness!! I missed her and those girls were really just...mean. Blah. So, in Drawing, we continued the viewfinder drawing. Talked about what community means to us in World Religions. Called mom in lunch and told her that the library would be closed after school...and she said she would come get me. We talked and talked some more in homeroom. More group work in Economics. Continued the nine lines drawing in Art and had to listen to stupid freshman conversations. Oy. After school, talked to Lin a bit. Then me and Celi went to the cafeteria. We did our economics homework in record time, lol. When we got back from putting our books away, Katie and Alex were there! So, we talked and watched some girls practice for the talent show. It was fun. Mom came and got me. Came home, watched "Jeopardy", "Cyberchase" and then "Dr. Phil". Daddy came home, we had dinner and watched more TV. And now I am on here. Later!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;p.s.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Lin: Soooo glad you're able to switch classes!!! ^__^&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-8786727693632218284?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/8786727693632218284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=8786727693632218284' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8786727693632218284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8786727693632218284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2007/01/weds-and-thurs.html' title='weds and thurs'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-5256787540801081013</id><published>2007-01-09T16:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-09T16:19:36.642-08:00</updated><title type='text'>mon and tues</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Last day of Christmas break. Ah, so sad. Sunday night, the stray cats were yowling beneath my window. Creeepy! Lol. So, woke up and sat talking with mom until she left for work. Watched "Perry Mason" for the last time. Also, taped the end of "Oprah" cause it was about that time of the month and I wanted to hear their recommendations for cramps. Haha.(It was to take two Motrin, which does not help me since I do not swallow pills. Ah, the suffering.) So, after watching that taped bit, I discovered that the end of "Bruce Almighty" was still on the tape!! So, I watched it because, frankly, that movie owns my soul. After that I went on the computer, blasted some music and made a Switchfoot wallpaper to quench my obsession lately. Had some lunch and watched the Switchfoot DVD that came with their last album. Siiigh, rocker boys. *heart* Besides the hotness, they're just kickass. Got dressed, emptied the dishwasher for my mommy, and watched "Lucy". Mom came and got me. We picked up Mike, went to "Sears Essentials" and then swung by "Starbuck's" to use my gift card and buy a cocoa! And there is still enough left for at least three more cocoas! Yay. It was yummy. Came home and got on the net. Did my usual stuff. Got off, tried out some layouts and printed a bit more research for AP. Had dinner. Got back on the net to put up my new layout for LJ, it is sooooo pretty! :) Got off, organized stuff for school, watched some shows we had taped, cut out some cardboard and mounted my NaNo certificate. Then watched "Frasier", read and went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Blaaaaah. First day back. Woke up and was sooooo tired!! Mikey was watching our "Digimon" tapes this morning. Heehee, memory lane. I still love the episodes and could name them if you asked. Lol. Mikey had to get all dressed up today cause he has to present his science project to judges! Eep! So, had an ok ride but felt so goddam tiiiiiired. Sat in the cafe, talking like we had never left the place. Drawing was first period. Mrs. V!! Lol. Had a seating chart, damn. It was just an intro day. Next was French which felt warm and familiar. We told vacation stories and got our exams back. Next was another new class, World Religions! With Lin! Lol. But we have a seating chart in there too. But Ms. Maddix seems really cool already! Had lunch... before homeroom which I have never had...with Araceli and Nicole! Sweetness! Then I had homeroom with them as well! And with Mrs. V again! We looked at prom dresses in Nadia's magazine. Had Economics -with Celi- next! It's in the tiny corner room we used for Chess Club! Lol. It seems ok. Art Fundamentals brought me back to Mrs. V. Lmao. Just an intro day. Last was AP...in the new class...without Lin. -Weep- At least Celi is in there. We watched a new vocab video and did a practice exam thing. After school, went up to FNHS but it was cancelled again! Oy. Sat in the library on the internet. Came home, talked and told them about my day. Ate dinner and watched TV. And now I am on here.

Vacuumed the family room and the couch cushions. Parents went out. I took a shower, goofed off with Mike, did my nails in icy blue and then dried my hair. It looked like Spring outside. I tell ya, this weather is disgusting me. We should freezing our asses off! Played some game that Mikey got for Christmas and acted British. Lmao. Parents came home, we put the groceries away and had some lunch. Then me, Mike and dad went to "Best Buy". Mike got a gift card for there so he browsed the video games section. But he was indescisive, so while he thought it over, we looked at their music section. It's huge! They have everything!! But, the Switchfoot CD was still not as cheap as "Target"! Came home and watched him play the game he eventually picked out, "Digimon World DS". Then I got on the net, did the normal stuff. Found some great screencaps of Switchfoot, as well as some icons and wallpapers. I'm a Switchfoot kick. :D Got off, watched "Jeopardy", "Seinfeld", and "Cops". Haha. Was looking forward to "Alfred Hitchcock", but some stupid basketball game was on. So I read some of my book. Then it was time for "Monty Python"!!! Heeheehee. That show always leaves a British residue on me and Mike. So, for the next hour we were talking with accents and coming up with ideas for our parody of "Monty Python". Finally got to bed at 12:25!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Almost the last day of break. -Weep- Woke up, watched the end of the "Sunday Morning Show". Read my pieces of the paper. Watched some TV and read a bit. Got on the computer. Listened to music, formatted the old novel. Had some lunch. Returned to formatting and read a fanfic. Mike and dad took the Christmas lights down. So sad! Got off. Watched a show about magicians and then the beginning of "A Star is Born". Got dressed and we went out to "Burlington Coat Factory" (we're mooooore than great coats!) to get Mike a new winter coat. Came home and now I'm on here.

It was fabulous, a really great ending. Siiigh, Darcy. &lt;3 Woke up, sat with mom and then she left for work. Read "Perry Mason". Got on the computer, read some fanfiction. Then got on the internet really quick to put up a new MySpace layout and I even talked to Lin. Got off and did my research for AP while blasting music. Had some lunch, watched the ridiculous "Games Fever" and then "Lucy". Got on the computer to do more research and then editing of my novel. Mom and Mike came home, we chatted, it was pouring rain!! Lol. Got on the net and did the usual stuff. Got off and saw the disgusting news of Nancy Pelosi being sworn in. -barf- Dadddy came home, we had dinner and then the parents left for my dad's friend's funeral. I was on the computer the whole time formatting my novel for publishing and I wrote an essay for a scholarship. They came home, we watched TV and then went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, sat with mom talking until she left for work. Watched "Perry Mason" {as always, teehee} and then some show that was analyzing movies. Tried to call the peeps but it was busy. So I got dressed and cleaned up. Kept trying to call but it was still busy! Lmao. Had some ramen for lunch and watched TV. After "Lucy", Lin finally called me. Here's a notice for y'all: I cannot call cell phones, don't know why but it does not work. So you have to call me! Lol, k? Good. Anywhozz......we made new plans. Mom came to get me, we picked up Mike and then headed off to Chrissy's. Got there, we talked for a while. Then Katie came, so we headed out to pick up Lin and Keli. Got them and headed to the mall. When we first got in, Chrissy &amp; Katie got some food and we sat talking. And 'Keane' was playing in the eatery, lol. Walked around, went to "Hot Topic" and "Claire's" and "Kohl's" and "FYE". Then Katie got picked up. We walked over to "Michael's", I bought a mat for my NaNoWriMo certificate and Keli went on a quest for buttons that, alas, were not there. Then Keli &amp;amp; Lin got picked up so me and Chrissy headed out to my house. I came in and all of a sudden, the doorbell rings. It was Chrissy. Yea, I left my Switchfoot CD in her CD player. -facepalm- Had some dinner, put on the tape of "Letterman" from last night and now I am on here!

Woke up and mom left for work. We watched "Perry Mason". Then Mike got online to try to download some videos, but those didn't work. So I read my book while he played some skateboarding game. At lunchtime, I put on "Pride and Prejudice" so I could swoon over Mister Darcy while I ate my ramen noodles. Lmao. Watched "Lucy" afterwards and played some of 'Yoshi'. Mom came home, I read for a while. Then I got on the net. Browsed around as always. Dad came home. His friend died on Saturday. So sad, the funeral is Thursday. :( Got off and ate dinner while watching TV. I spent the night watching stupid TV and reading. What a pitiful existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up and Mike &amp;amp; mom were going out the door to pick up Mike's friend. I watched TV. They came back with Alex and mom left for work. I don't mind Alex, he's a good kid, and they keep to themselves and their XBox. I read, watched "Perry Mason" and the beginning of "The View". Got on the computer. Listened to some music, read a little fanfiction and organized icons. Had some lunch and watched TV. Got back on to continue reading fanfiction. Mom came home and now I'm on here. Once again, another boring day. What a productive vacation this has been....not. Pathetic.

It is absolutely crazy! Me and Mike camped out on the blow-up bed. It wasn't too bad, just a little cold. Woke up, watched the New Year's episode of "Sunday Morning". Grama wanted to watch "Meet the Press". Gah, it was full of Democrats. Finished reading "Peter Pan in Scarlet". It was quite excellent. :) Read my usual bits and pieces of the paper. Listened to a Bill Cosby record, lol. Chatted a bit, read. Then got dressed. We went out to "George's" to eat a late lunch. Drove to 'Lewis' for Grama to take a look around. It was all closed up but the security people let us in. We walked around the campus a bit. Then went to "Jewel" and got chinese food. Came home, had a good game of "Scrabble", which I won by two points! Sweet. Had dinner, chatted and listened to "Tony Bennet: Duets". Got on the net. Talked with Lin and browsed around, doing my usual checks on sites. And I found out that I got an award on "metamorfic_moon" on LiveJournal for my Remus/Tonks fanfic! I created a character that was their child in the future and so I got "Best Child"!! Also, put on the Bears game and had some yummy cake! Got off, watched the Bears plummet to defeat. Eh, we're going to the playoffs anyways. Watched TV and reviewed the year in my journal all while trying to stay awake what with my humongous headache. And soon it was midnight!! We went outside and screamed and yelled and threw those little popper things. It was fun. Watched a bit of the fireworks and then went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; It's 2007!!! Amazing. Woke up, watched a bit of TV. Saw some really awesome Star&lt;br /&gt;Wars floats in the Rose Bowl Parade! Lol. Sat around, read a bit. Played some 'Yoshi'. Had lunch, watched "Lucy" and then had fun deflating the air bed! Chatted a bit more and dad just took Grama home. It was nice to see her again. :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-2672510238707653981?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/2672510238707653981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=2672510238707653981' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2672510238707653981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2672510238707653981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2007/01/sun-and-mon.html' title='sun and mon'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-4446869893149639071</id><published>2006-12-30T14:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-30T14:32:15.628-08:00</updated><title type='text'>fri and sat</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Not a bad day. Had an odd dream the night before that I'm beginning to think is recurring. Blah. Woke up, watched "Oprah". Then me, Mike and mom sorted through a huge pile of school papers that we had lying around. Played some 'Yoshi' and mom went out to get us some lunch. We ate when she came back and then fooled around a bit on the computer. Watched "Lucy" and read some of my "Peter Pan" book, which is really shaping up to be good. Daddy came home early. The poor guy, his friend from work is dying from lung cancer. :( Got on the net, browsed around and talked to Chrissy &amp;amp; Kelly. Got off, had dinner and watched some TV. Then the parents left for mom's company Christmas party. Got on the net real quick to check on MySpace. Got off and read a darling Remus/Tonks fanfic while BLASTING music. Heeheehee. Watched a really interesting "20/20" and then some other TV until the parents got home. Then it was off to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched a bit of pointless TV and talked for a long time with the parents. It was nice, just sitting there and talking. Took a shower, dried my hair, vacuumed the upstairs. Had some lunch. Then we waited around for my Grama to come over, and as I waited, I read A LOT of "Peter Pan". It's really good. :) Finally, Grama arrived via Uncle John and Tim. They stayed for a while to chat with us. They're so fun. When they left, we had cocoa, cookies and chatting with Grama. Now I'm on here to update this blog really quickly and then get off again.

We were awake at 7:30, which is our latest Christmas to date. LOL. Peeked at the tree then got mom and dad. The gifts were unwrapped and strewn around us in a matter of minutes! It seemed to go so fast! I got "Peter Pan in Scarlet", "HBP" in paperback, "Emily of New Moon", "The Beatrice Letters", "KT Tunstall: Eye to the Telescope", "All-American Rejects: Move Along", "Beatles: Abbey Road", a bracelet making kit, an HP desk calendar, and TONS of candy!! Not a bad year. When the presents were all opened, we put on the Christmas music. I listened to some of my CDs and read "The Beatrice Letters". Watched a little TV and talked. Had some lunch, watched more TV. Helped chop potatoes for dinner. Lol, I love chopping potatoes. :P A little while later we had a grand dinner, just us, nice and cozy. Got on the PC and uploaded my new CDs. Afterwards, we watched "Radio", which is a really touching movie. :) All in all, it was a great Christmas. I got what I wanted, I was with my family and we were all together and healthy. What more do I need?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Boxing Day in Canada! Lmao!! Woke up and guess what? My lovely monthly friend had come to visit! Wa-hoo. At least it waited till Christmas was over, that was nice. Lol. So, watched "Perry Mason" with the fam and was in pain the entire time. When it was over I had to go lay in my bed. I just tried to read and even took a little nap. It hurt soooo much! I hate being a girl! So, after about an hour, I felt better. So, I got dressed and cleaned up to go out shopping. We had to wait a bit because when dad pulled out of the garage, we discovered there was a flat tire on the van! Yikes, lol. So, he fixed it and then we left. Went to "Borders" first. Bought the new Switchfoot CD and a Moleskine notebook that I have wanted for some time now. Stopped at the "Hobby Store" and then "Target". Found the Switchfoot CD for five bucks cheaper!!! So, we bought it there. Returned the other CD to "Borders" and then came home. Had some lunch. Got on the PC, uploaded Switchfoot. Waited around to get on the internet....had to wait cause dad was expecting a call. Finally got on and here I am! Hope your Christmas was as good as mine!! Later! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-4193092195121485134?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/4193092195121485134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=4193092195121485134' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/4193092195121485134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/4193092195121485134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/12/mon-tues.html' title='mon &amp; tues'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-2034109462642808653</id><published>2006-12-24T09:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-24T09:41:36.745-08:00</updated><title type='text'>weekend</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood: &lt;/strong&gt;content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;music:&lt;/strong&gt; Clay Aiken: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Ah, the first day of Christmas break. Woke up, watched "Arthur's Perfect Christmas." Then spent the entire morning watching TV and also played some 'Mario Kart'. Had some lunch. Watched special features on "Muppet Christmas Carol" and "Goblet of Fire". Parents went out to the store. We listened to some Christmas music and I organized my AP binder. Listened a bit to the mix CD. Parents came home. We cleaned up Mike's room since we had made quite a mess of it. Had some dinner. Got on the net, browsed around and sent some Christmas cards to the peeps. Got off and watched a bunch of random TV. Was getting so tired but we managed to stay up for good old "Monty Python"!! It was hysterical! And that is how I frittered away my Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched the "Sunday Morning Show". Read my bits and pieces of the Sunday paper. Watched some TV. Got in the shower, which was very refreshing. Cut my nails and re-painted my nails and dried my hair. Now I am on here. It is Christmas Eve. I can hardly believe it because there is no snow on the ground!! It seemed to come so quickly! I really cannot believe it. Today we go to my Uncle John's house for the usual family gathering. It'll be fun and hopefully it will make me feel more Christmas-y! Everyone, have a very Merry Christmas!!! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-2034109462642808653?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/2034109462642808653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=2034109462642808653' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2034109462642808653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2034109462642808653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/12/weekend.html' title='weekend'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-1543795466113838506</id><published>2006-12-22T15:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-22T15:03:25.389-08:00</updated><title type='text'>thurs and fri</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; chipper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine, had an ok ride to school. Met up with Keli and Lin. I gave the librarians some goodies that we baked for them. Went into the cafe, talked and such, good times. First exam was AP. It wasn't hard at all, just a lot of writing, but they were fun questions. Afterwards, Lin did her soliloquy! And next was Study, lmao. I was the only one in there, it was so quiet! The librarians thanked me for the goodies. Browsed the net, Ms. Cruz asked me to grade papers and I politely declined. Then I found out phenmonal news!! The title of Harry Potter 7 is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"!!! I was soooo excited!!! Got out, drove with Lin to "Wendy's". Aaaand we almost got killed, yea. Lol. Stupid juniors. So, got in there, ordered and sat down. I told them the news of HP! They texted everyone they knew about it, lmao. So, we talked, it was fun. Soon, mom came to get me and I discovered Harry was gone!! Noooooo! Came home, watched some TV and talked. Then me and Mike filmed a lot for our parody of "Monty Python", LOL! Daddy came home and we had dinner. More filming and then had a screening of our footage so far for the parents. :) Got on the net, did my usual stuff and IMed Lin and Nicole. Nicole found my Harry pin!!! What luck I've had with that pin! Got off and we watched "White Christmas", sigh. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; LAST DAY!!! Woke up, did routine, it was sooooooo rainy outside. Felt like May or April, not December. Anywho, had an awesome ride and got to school super duper super early. It was only me, Amanda and Nicole in the cafe!! Crazy. So, we waited for everyone to trickle in so we could exchange presents! Soon, we were all present. So, there was lots of passing of bags and flying of wrapping paper and sayings of 'thank you'. It was fun! I got some great stuff too. Chrissy gave me a stationary set, Lin gave me the cutest little kitty ever (I think I'll name her Pumpkin!), Keli gave me paper products (LMAO), Nicole gave me a CD of all our songs, Kaite gave me candy and 'Starbuck's' money and Amanda gave me cash. Lmao, good old Amanda. It was really fun just exchanging and no one wanted to go think when the bell rang. But we had to. Lol. First exam was LWF, not hard at all. Met up in between and talked a bit. Then was French, it was looooooooong! Just a lot of stuff, yikes. It wasn't horrible though. The dude who had his name over room 133 came to visit Ms. Haskins. My mom had him when she was there! He's very big and booming, lol! When I finished that exam, it felt soooo good cause it was OVER! Mommy picked me up, I showed off all my gifts and listened to a bit of the CD from Nicole. Gawd, it ROCKS! Lol!! Came home, ate some lunch and watched TV. Daddy came home early with his winnings from the holiday raffle at his work. He got a cheesecake, two things of cookies, some Hershey's kisses and "A Muppet Christmas Carol" on DVD!! Can't wait to watch it!! Parents went out, I uploaded the kickass Nicole mix into iTunes. Now I am on here. Later! Enjoy Christmas break!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-1543795466113838506?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/1543795466113838506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=1543795466113838506' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/1543795466113838506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/1543795466113838506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/12/thurs-and-fri_22.html' title='thurs and fri'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-7037543682969333709</id><published>2006-12-20T16:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T16:11:23.559-08:00</updated><title type='text'>tues and weds</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; chipper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine, had an ok ride to school. It was the last day for all exam days!! Yay! Sat in the cafe talking. Then Ashlene and me exchanged presents by the window. She gave me a candle that's, like, in wine glass. It smells super good! All classes were boring today, just review. Finished the lesson in Government and then he just gave us like, a half an hour to talk. Ridiculous. Had time to work in French and she gave us two new review sheets. Reviewed in LWF. Last Journalism ever!! I'm glad to get rid of it, but I feel bad for leaving Sam, the sophomore I talked to in there. She hates it too, lol. Finished the test and then did teacher evaluations. Last lunch too! We just talked. Study was fun, my last real one. Got lots of feedback on my novel from my LJ peeps. And Mrs. Johnson was snooping at my screen again! Jerk. Was in the library for AP, it was pretty much a free period. Me and Lin just talked. Creative Writing was blah, some people read their stories. After school, mom picked me up. We stopped at Walgreen's and the dollar store. Came home and I did all my Christmas cards! Sweet. Dad came home, we had dinner, and I studied a little for Government. Got on the net and discovered that it was Jakey Gyllenhaal's birthday!! Lol. ^__^ Got off the net and we watched "Nova".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; My half birthday! We decided not to decorate my locker cause they said they'll take it down over break. Blah. Woke up, did routine, had a good ride to school. Stopped at "Speedway" to get my grama a gift card and there were hoodlums all around. Lmao, I feared for my life! Met up with Keli and Lin at Lin's locker. We went to Keli's locker and then into the cafe. Talked, good times. Creative Writing exam was first. Lmao, what waste of time. We had a sub, she didn't even come to our exam. Gee, thanks. It was just a reflection, it was pretty dumb. Afterwards, I just read Harry Potter. In the passing period, me and Lin handed in our AP bibliography and got answers to the French review sheets. Next was the Government exam. It was ok, I screwed up on the vocab section a bit. Did OK otherwise though. Did French review sheet afterwards and then talked with Keli. So, mom and Mike picked me up. We went to my grama's house to give her her Christmas gift and to just visit cause it's been quite a while. It wasn't too bad, it was actually nice to see her. She's funny, lol. Went to McDonald's to eat. Yummy. Came home, watched some TV, got on the computer. Made my AP revisions. Got off, dad came home and we had dinner. Now I am on here! Christmas break is almost heeeere!! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-7037543682969333709?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/7037543682969333709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=7037543682969333709' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/7037543682969333709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/7037543682969333709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/12/tues-and-weds_20.html' title='tues and weds'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-1064854277752348802</id><published>2006-12-18T16:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-18T16:59:34.171-08:00</updated><title type='text'>sun and mon</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, read a bit and then shuffled downstairs to watch "Sunday Morning Show" with mom and dad, as always. Got on the net pretty early, earlier than usual but we had plans for the afternoon. Parents went out to get tickets for "It's A Wonderful Life" cause you have to buy them ahead of time. So, I browsed around and did the things I needed to do online. Got off when the parents came home. Had a bit of lunch and started watching the Bears game. Took a shower, braided my hair. Did my french homework while watching the Bears. Aaaand then we left! We got to "Hollywood Boulevard" and had to stand in line for a really super long time. And there was a group of unruly, disrespectful teenage girls behind us, oy. So, we finally got in and the only seats left were kind of off to the side from the screen. Not fabulous but, you know. So, the lady that played the little girl, Zuzu, in the movie was actually there and she talked and answered questions for a bit. Then the movie began! It's just such a wonderful movie, I adore it. And it's really fun to see on the big screen. :) We had some popcorn and pop and stuff so, it was really nice. And everyone clapped really loud at the end, such a touching ending. :) We hopped back in the car and turned on the radio to find out what happened to our Bears! Well, they won.... by the skin of their teeth! Yikes! They had a huge lead and they threw it away! Oy. But the point is they won and they have homefield advantage in the playoffs. We drove to Centennial Park, which is a park that sets up a lights display every year with music playing, it was nice. Then we got some McDonald's, came home and ate. Caught the end of "The Santa Clause 2". Read and went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine, had a good ride. Sat in the cafe talking, saw Keli's pimpin new glasses, lol. Worked on the story a bit in French and then just read Harry Potter cause I was finished. :) Talked about the final in Creative Writing. It's gonna be ridiculously easy, lol. Then we did a peer edit of our stories, which was kinda pointless since no on cares anymore. Went to the library for AP, it wasn't so bad, I actually found some articles. Study was really fun. I got A LOT of comments from LJ, so I answered all those, that was fun. In Journalism, I took the test and then was pulled out to have lunch with the Osbournes, who are giving me and three other girls a scholarship. I was really scared and nervous at first but they were really nice people. And they had turkey sandwiches for us, lmao. Yummm. So, overall that wasn't bad. Got a pass to LWF and showed up a bit late. We talked about different lifestyles in there, like getting married, staying single or joining the convent. NEVER would I join the convent. NEVER. I neeeed my men! Lol. Had another student-taught lesson in Government, it was a good one, actually. After school, emailed with mom and browsed on the net. Came home, ate dinner, watched TV and did homework. Now I'm on here! Later!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-1064854277752348802?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/1064854277752348802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=1064854277752348802' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/1064854277752348802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/1064854277752348802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/12/sun-and-mon_18.html' title='sun and mon'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-5395603990014730353</id><published>2006-12-16T14:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-16T14:07:13.208-08:00</updated><title type='text'>fri and sat</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood&lt;/strong&gt;: cheerful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;music&lt;/strong&gt;: Keane: "Leaving So Soon?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday&lt;/strong&gt;: Woke up, did routine, Mike stayed home again. Had a good ride, got to school pretty early. Sat in the cafe talking, good times. Had another lesson in Government. Translated a story for the final in French. We were in the library for AP, doing research and narrowing our topics for the research paper. Talked with Lin in there. In Study, did my internet stuff and watched some awesome clips of OotP that were on ABC Family. Talked about features in Journalism, just talked in lunch. Took a test in LWF. After that class was over, I got my backpack and headed to the Ruffner Room for the Creative Writing coffeehouse. Lin was there greeting people, lmao. So, once we were all there, we each read at least one poem and explained why we write. She had to mention my novel, God, shut up! Took an intermission and just then mom &amp;amp; Mike came in! We all read again and mom loved my "Thank You" poem, lol. So, when everyone had read again, we just left. Saw the stupid idiotic imbecile 'Impeach Bush' people. GOD!! I hate them so much, I gave this guy the dirtiest look I could muster. God. Came home, watched a little TV. Dad came home and we ate some dinner. Got on the net, no one was on AIM! Lol, so sad! Browsed around, got a new MySpace layout. Parents went to the store. When they came back, I got off the net. We made popcorn and put on "A Christmas Story". A classic! Lol. It was a nice night. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday&lt;/strong&gt;: Woke up, read a bit. Watched some TV and then we all got dressed and went out. Went to the dentist first. It was a real fancy looking place and there was a nice girl in there with braces, whom we talked to a bit. Went in and had my consultation. Now, granted it was a free consultation, but the lady didn't introduce herself and she was looking at my teeth like she'd just drank five 'Red Bulls'. Brother. It was too expensive, so we're not going to get my braces done there! Left and we headed out to my cousin Connie's house to see her and visit her two adorable children. Brookie was waiting at the door when we came! She is just so precious! We had a lot of fun with her. She showed us her basement. Lol. And then she kept telling us to follow her up to her bedroom. Me and Mike must have climbed those stairs six times, up and down, up and down. She was a ball of energy!! My aunt came over too and Brookie got all excited cause that's her grama. The new little baby boy, Brayden, was soooo good. He just laid there, nice and content. Heehee. They were so cute. After about two hours there, we left and picked up some lunch. We got home and they had screwed up our order, dad was really pissed, lol. He drove back to get it fixed and then we ate. We had lunch at 3:00!! Lmao. And now I'm just sitting on here. Later days!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-5395603990014730353?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/5395603990014730353/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=5395603990014730353' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/5395603990014730353'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/5395603990014730353'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/12/fri-and-sat_16.html' title='fri and sat'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-2975066980313683151</id><published>2006-12-14T16:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-14T16:37:16.711-08:00</updated><title type='text'>weds and thurs</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; calm....my eyes itch though&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Finished reading "Northanger Abbey", it was good! Woke up, did my routine, had a looong ride to school. Sat in the cafe talking, of course. Good times. Creative Writing was boring as hell. Read an emo story, lmao. Had another lesson from one of the groups in Government, it was dull. AP was blah. Got a new calendar, I have to do my author presentation next quarter.....alooone! Noooo! Lol. Did workshop in there. Afterwards, me and Lin determined that we are slugs, leaving a trail of slime as we go. :P Did internet stuff in Study. Read a blah story in Journalism, talked in lunch. Did prayer in LWF and then we took notes. People did their oral exams in French and we had work time. After school, my nice mommy came and picked me up. Lol. I needed that after such a slug day! We came home, watched "Jeopardy" and then went to get Mike. Came back home and dad was pulling in just as we were! Lol. Ate dinner, watched TV, practiced my French oral. Got on the net, IMed with Lin, fun times. Also had some yummy cocoa while I surfed. :) Got off, took some pictures of myself, lol. Then we watched a very interesting "Secrets of the Dead". Read and then went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine, had an ok ride. My muscles felt itchy all day, lmao. Lin knows what I mean, we tight. :P Sat in the cafe talking, at least we were less sluggy than yesterday, lol. Did my oral exam in French, I did fine! I always stress and then it's nothing. Creative Writing was blah blah blah. Talked about the coffee house that is tomorrow (blah) and then that stupid story (blah again). Government was stupid. Mr. Bell did an evaluation day and it's not fair because the groups who go next now know what we did wrong so they can do it better. Not fair. He's an ass. Had some good journaling time in LWF. Read a story in Journalism, talked in lunch. In Study, did the usual internet stuff and wrote my R/T fic for the Christmas jumble over on LJ. Did my essay in the workshop in AP. After school, surfed the net, posted my finished R/T fic and did some homework. When I was waiting for dad, the fire alarm went off and all the lights turned off. I was scared out of my mind! Everyone was like, peeking out to see if there was an inferno that we should be running from. Ms. Hanlon came bolting out of her office to investigate. It was just an electrical surge, I guess. Then Mrs. Johnson come through and she asks me if I can get out of sixth period ten minutes early to come greet people tomorrow for the coffeehouse. Buzz off! Why would I help you? I told her no. No way. Came home, we were waiting for a roast to cook but it was taking too long so I warmed up some leftovers to eat. Watched TV. Now I'm on here. Later! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-2975066980313683151?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/2975066980313683151/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=2975066980313683151' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2975066980313683151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2975066980313683151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/12/weds-and-thurs.html' title='weds and thurs'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-9100031881231529683</id><published>2006-12-12T17:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-12T17:01:46.462-08:00</updated><title type='text'>mon and tues</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;music:&lt;/strong&gt; The Beatles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Portfolio day, blah. Woke up and I was soooooo tired. Argh. Did routine, had a blah ride cause I just kept wanting to be back in bed. Sat in the cafe with the peeps, who were also bleh. Yuck. Talked about project in French. In CW, she got ink all over herself and had to go wash it off, so we talked. Lol. Then talked about stories, blah. Watched a few acts in AP and then proofread Melissa's essay. Internet stuff in Study. Wrapped presents for St. James in Journalism, talked in lunch. Took notes in LWF. Went to the library in Government to work on our stupid ass project. Then we had to go back to first period to hand in our portfolios, that was ridiculous and disorganized. After, sat in the library browsing the net. Came home, had dinner, watched TV and finished my homework. I had so little homework so I finished quickly and then felt useless. So I got on the computer and read some awesome-bossome Remus/Tonks fanfiction. Then I felt like a vegetable so I decided to log on to the net. IMed some peeps, that was fun. Got off and watched the Bears game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Bears won last night!! Yayness! Woke up, felt much better than yesterday. Did routine and discovered that the stupid rain had washed away almost all of the snow. Pity, it was so nice. Had a bad ride. Got to school a bit late. Sat in the cafe and Araceli was there, oy. I avoided her like the plague. Do NOT want to get sick, at all. My group presented in Government. Keli did an awesome job! =) Ms. Haskins was playing "Singin' in the Rain" in French when I walked in!! Lol. We talked about the song project and our oral exam. I HATE oral exams. Talked and took notes in LWF. Got my new schedule in Journalism!! That class is so very very pointless now cause I know I'm dropping it after break, it's just pointless. Talked in lunch. Got some new icons and fixed my LJ layout in Study. Listened to some acts, did current events and started writing workshops in AP. CW was absolutely ridiculous. We got into groups...assigned groups...and read each other's stories. It was dumb, we didn't even get to critique them. Lol. Then she went into this huge thing about that stupid ass book "House on Mango Street". It was ridiculous. She has ruined that class for me, thank God it's only a semester class. After school, discovered there was no meeting for FNHS, so I just sat in the library once again. Came home, had dinner and watched some TV. I just finished writing my vocab paragraph so here I am! Later. =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-9100031881231529683?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/9100031881231529683/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=9100031881231529683' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/9100031881231529683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/9100031881231529683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/12/mon-and-tues.html' title='mon and tues'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-3154749933559132861</id><published>2006-12-10T12:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-10T12:53:11.735-08:00</updated><title type='text'>sat and sun</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up and felt so cozy in my bed. I love the weekends. Watched a little TV and had some breakfast. Then we all got dressed and ready to go to the "Field Museum". And we set out! I just adore the ride downtown, I love seeing the skyline getting closer and closer. Sigh. I'm glad we live close enough to visit when we want to. Took some pictures as we approached. Got there and found out that 'King Tut' was sold out. Damn. We deliberated for a while but finally decided to go in anyways. Parked in one of the surrounding garages, walked right out and there was the museum! It was perfect. So, went in, got our tickets and some maps and right there in the main hall is 'Sue', the T-rex. Sooooo awesome. Went upstairs and went into an exhibit about the earth's evolution, that was cool. Came out, saw a thing on rocks, minerals and pretty gems. Went to the 'Corner Bakery' located conveniently inside the museum for some lunch. Me and mom split a sandwich, very yummy! Went back out into the museum. Went through a 'Nature Walk' with lots of dead animals, lmao. Mike was psychotic with the camera, he took toooons of pictures. Then we went into an 'Ancient Egypt' exhibit that had this cool pyramid you could go inside of, lol. Well, after that we'd been there for about four hours and we were tired, so it was time to leave. Began the drive back to the boring old suburbs, lol. Came home, watched a bit of TV and then mom decided to go get a haircut. I decided to go with her and get the ends of my hair trimmed. Came home, had dinner, watched a little TV. Then we put the ornaments on the tree, finally! It was a lot of fun and it looks really nice. :) Then we watched "The Grinch" with Jim Carrey and "Monty Python".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Just a normal Sunday. Woke up, watched the "Sunday Morning Show". Read my usual bits and pieces of the Sunday paper. Put on the Christmas music on the radio and I started my homework. Blah. Did lots of revisions for AP. Parents left for my daddy's company Christmas party. Had some lunch and acted like lunatics, nothing new there. :P Listened to a bunch of music and worked on my stupid Creative Writing story. Blech. Now I'm on here. Hope everyone's weekend was fab!

Woke up, did routine, Mike stayed home again. Had a good ride and got to school super duper early! Lol. It was just me and Katie at the table!! Weird. But then people trickled in and we had our normal, noisy gathering. =) Did book work in French. Creative Writing was stupid cause she gave us this huge assignment to write. I hate writing for school, she's making a big deal out of it. Government was worse though, he's getting out of teaching again. He's making us teach the class the last few sections, ridiculous!!! Got in a group with Keli though, so that's good. Notes in LWF. Internet browsing in Study. Discussed "Hamlet" in AP. After school, mom and Mike were there to get me. We picked up some lunch, came home and ate it while watching "Lucy". Mom took a little nap and I did some homework. I did my french, my AP and started my stupid story for CW. Dad came home. We had dinner and watched TV. And me and Mike were, like, going insane. It was hysterical. Got on the net, talked to Lin and did my usual stuff. Got off, read a loooooovely Remus/Tonks fanfic. Got off, watched TV until it was time for bed, then I read my book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; John Lennon was shot today 26 years ago....so tragic. Woke up, did routine, had an ok ride. Met up with Keli and Lin down my locker's hallway. We went to mine and then Keli's and then the cafeteria. Started working in Government. Next was liturgy, bleh. Got to sit with Keli though. It wasn't too bad. Talked about the final in French. Did normal internet stuff in Study. Wrapped presents for St. James in Journalism, talked in lunch. Watched the movie of "Hamlet" in AP and got to see crazy, wacky Ophelia! Lol. Got work time in LWF. CW was pointless, kind of talked about our stories. After school, did internet stuff in the library. Came home, ate dinner and watched "Curious George". I looove dat monkey! Lmao. And now I'm on here.

Mike and dad got home from the Bulls game around 11:00 and we ended up talking to them until 11:30. It sounded like it was a lot of fun! Woke up, was so sleepy!! Did routine. Lin and I practiced our lines in the cafe in the morning, lmao. Government was dumb, just did the review sheet. Then I got to talk with Keli for the rest of the period, lol. Did grammar work in French again. Took notes in LWF, blah. Started a new project in Journalism. Talked in lunch and then we got our senior clothes. '07!! Lol. Well, the shirt looked a little big at first so I opted not to wear it right away. Did usual internet stuff in Study but then got kicked off and did homework. Had a sub in AP, we took the vocab quiz. Read a story in Creative Writing and discovered all the underlying sexual references in it, wow! After school, browsed the net, read part of some dude's NaNo novel. Came home, had dinner, watched TV, helped mom make cookies for my french party. Got on the net, finally went on MySpace after weeks, checked my comments and stuff. Also typed up some stuff for school. Watched "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" which is just absolutely adorable. :) Got off the computer, watched "Fraiser", read some of my book and then it was time for bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine. Mike stayed home cause he had a really bad cough. Yuck. Me and mom talked on the way to school. Sat in the cafe with the peeps feeling dreadfully nervous. Oy. Talked more about the story in Creative Writing. Took a test in Government and then sat there feeling nervous as hell for the next period. And then, AP came. Nicole went and then me and Lin went. Lin was shaking and my hands were all sweaty!! Ew. But, we did our lines, we emphasized, we made hand gestures, I think we did good. And it's OVER!! Thank the Lord. After that we discussed "Hamlet" act four. Browsed the net in Study. Wanted so badly to write but I'm just feeling blocked at the moment. Discussed quotes in Journalism, talked in lunch. She was mad at us for some reason in LWF, bleh. We took notes in there. French last period was such fun!! We had our little Christmas party with food and fun. I had some of the cookie that I made and a cupcake. We talked and sang a french version of "O Holy Night". It was fun and left me in good spirits. On my way out, gave candy canes to Lin and Nicole cause they were the first people I saw, lmao. Sat in the library surfing the net, was in a good mood. =) Came home, had yummy homemade chicken soup for dinner. Watched TV and read "Hamlet". Now I am on here.

Watched some of the news and made some hot cocoa. Also took some snowy yard pictures, lol. Mom left for work, we watched "Oprah", lol. Got on the computer, made myself a snowy wallpaper, uploaded Clay's christmas CD into iTunes, played 'Mooshu Tiles'. Had some lunch, watched "Lucy." Mom came home and she and Mike snow-blowed the driveway. I shaved my legs and showered. Got on the net, IMed some peeps and browsed around. Got off, got dressed and ready for our last Daddy/Daughter Dance. :( So sad. Took a few pics in front of the fireplace and headed out. It was COLD! Checked in with Sister Helen, lol. Stood around a little and soon, Ashlene came! We ate in the cafeteria and lo and behold, who comes to this dance? Yup, creepy staring girl, *shudder*. After we ate, we had our picture taken by the dude that was there. Sat in the cafe a little, then sat in the gym a little, lol. Then we started dancing, the music was pretty good, only a bit of rap. The creepy girl dances really weird, lmao. We had a really good time, it was fun. The end was so awful, lol. They played "Butterfly Kisses", which is just about the saddest daddy/daughter song ever written and I was weeeeping. Like, literally weeping. Thank God dad had some tissues, lol. Then, as we're leaving, they play that stupid ass "Time of Your Life" by Green Day. Oy. I was a mess. So, we got our coats and headed home. Chatted in the car. Came home and Mike and mom had decorated the tree! It was so pretty! We talked for a while and watched "Seinfeld." Read a bit and went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Got up, got dressed and we set out for the Lewis open house! My third time visiting, lmao. I drove, haven't driven in a while. So, we get there and I found mah peeps. Lol. Registered and went into the recreation center. Talked a bit, ate a muffin. Then some of the people talked. After that we went to the chapel for a presentation on financial aid and shtuff. After that there was an 'academic session' where we could go to the specialized department tables. Stood around and chatted a bit. Then we went on the campus tour, it was COLD!!!! Lol. But it was a nice tour, I can't wait to go there! Came home and then went out to pick up some lunch.

Two whole years! =) Woke up, did routine, had a kinda long ride. Talked in the cafe, good times! :) Felt kinda weird in Creative Writing, we read a story. Well, I got my monthly friend. Four days early and quite unexpected. Ew. Government was boring, took a quiz and a few notes. Got a bit rainy. :) Discussed "Hamlet" in AP. In Study, did email, flist and some writing. I changed the plot up a bit, threw in some brainwashing, you know, lol. Peer edited in Journalism. Talked in lunch and on the way out, the lights flickered! Eek.Watched movie in LWF. Grammer work in French. After school, the computers were out because of the momentary power outage. I wrote my vocab paragraph and soon, the computers came back on! Did email and NaNo and did some more writing and.....I HIT 50,000 WORDS! YAYYYY! Awesomeness. Rainy ride. Came home, had dinner, chatted, watched TV. Got on the net, IMed with Chrissy and Lin, validated my manuscript and got my speshtacal icons and certificate! :) Made an LJ post and put up my pretty new snowy layout. :) Got off, finished writing chapter 18 of the story. Because, although I reached 50,000, the book is not done yet. I had so much fun, really November was awesome and now I have a whole novel! Time to edit!! Lol. Printed my certificate, it's so pretty. =) Watched TV and read before bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Parents let me stay home cause it was only 'Harmony Day' today. Woke up, Mike stayed home too cause he had a sore throat. Watched a little TV, mom left and we watched "Oprah". Got on the computer, showed him my new layout, wrote my AP stuff and revised my Journalism article. Looked through icons and listened to music. Stopped for some lunch. Watched "Bob the Builder" (lmao) and "Lucy." Mom came home. Played a little 'Mooshu Tiles'. Watched part of "Ellen" and the "Jeopardy". Dad came home. Had dinner and now I'm on here, later!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-3295853033779582315?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/3295853033779582315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=3295853033779582315' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/3295853033779582315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/3295853033779582315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/11/weds-and-thurs_30.html' title='weds and thurs'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-6553762192045594766</id><published>2006-11-28T16:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-28T16:37:09.820-08:00</updated><title type='text'>mon and tues</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, had some weird dream about a real estate agent trying to find housing for elephants. WTF? So, woke up and was really really super tired. Blah. Did routine, got to school pretty early. Talked in the cafe, everyone was a tired blob. Talked in French and got our journals back. Shared our journals and our scenes in Creative Writing. Watched "Hamlet" in AP and made a new discovery, Peter Parker's Aunt May is in it too!! Insanity. In Study, did email and flist, looked through NaNo's flickr and then did some writing. Shweet. Talked about story leads in Journalism, it was a snooze. Lunch was fun! We talked about Brokeback and Harry Potter, the perfect combo to equal my happiness. Lmao. Was in the library for LWF and so was Lin for Ms. Cruz's class, lmao! We did saint research. Took a quiz and had work time in Government. After school, creepy staring girl totally stole my computer! WTF? Did email, flist and even more writing! got 1,786 words today for a total of 46,477!! It ends on Thursday and I know I'll be finished in time! Sweetness. Came home, ate dinner, watched TV, did my AP current events. Got on the net. Browsed and updated my word count.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Finished reading "The Fourth Bear" last night it was soooooo good!! Sorry to see it go. Woke up, did routine, was a tad bit late to school, enh. Some of the peeps were in a meeting but I talked in the cafe with Araceli, Katie, Nicole and Amanda. Government was stupid and pointless as always. Went over some chart and took notes on the President's cabinet. Did lots of grammer work from the book in French. Watched an ok movie in LWF. Journalism was boring, we peer edited each other's articles. Just talked in lunch. Study was full of kids, yuck. Did my normal internet stuff and got some writing done. Presented some of our current events in AP and then discussed "Hamlet". Creative Writing was blah. We talked about out coffeehouse, which no one is going to be able to come to, and then read part of a story. After school, FNHS was quick and painless so I went into the library and continued to write. Came home, had dinner, watched TV and read "Hamlet" act III. Now I am on here. We just got the newest version of Internet Explorer and it is sooo cool! I like it so far. I'm only 1,618 words away from being a NaNoWriMo winner!!! So close!! May be done tomorrow!!! =) Well, that's all folks!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-6553762192045594766?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/6553762192045594766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=6553762192045594766' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/6553762192045594766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/6553762192045594766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/11/mon-and-tues_28.html' title='mon and tues'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-8119376267805129635</id><published>2006-11-26T11:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-26T11:39:35.631-08:00</updated><title type='text'>sat and sun</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood: &lt;/strong&gt;cheerful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up and my headache was gone, but I had kind of a bad dream. So, woke up, read in bed. Came downstairs and we watched a little TV. Then I went back upstairs to organize Mike's new closet shelves. And I ended up cleaning up his whole room. Parents went out. Finished Mike's room and got on the computer to start my AP work. Stopped for lunch and some TV. They came back and I finished my AP. Started to organize my bookshelf a bit but got fed up and annoyed. Parents went back out and I got on the net. Was very boring, just surfed around. Got off and finished my bookcase, then vacuumed the upstairs. Watched the end of "White Christmas" and did some writing. Stopped for dinner. Got back on and finished my writing. Past 41K now!! And only a few days left in November! Got off, we watched "Jeopardy" and I took a shower. Fixed mom's Christmas bracelet that broke. We put on "Somewhere in Time". Stopped it to watch "Alfred Hitchcock" and then finished it afterwards. It was a nice little love story but the ending was so sad!! It was like, 'Titanic' sad, lol. Watched "Monty Python", read and went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, laid in bed for a while, staring at my bookshelf, lol. Came downstairs. Watched the "Sunday Morning Show" and read some of the paper. Then did my stupid, goddamn government notes until they were finally finished. Cannot wait until that class is GONE! Got on the PC, did my Journalism and started my writing. Mike and dad put up the Christmas lights! :) Had lunch and chatted with mom. Parents went out. Blasted music and did more writing. I got a lot done!! Past 44K!! :) Now I am on here. Do NOT want to go to school tomorrow. Ew. Well, later!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-8119376267805129635?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/8119376267805129635/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=8119376267805129635' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8119376267805129635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8119376267805129635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/11/sat-and-sun_26.html' title='sat and sun'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-901421320355692989</id><published>2006-11-24T18:16:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-24T18:19:01.339-08:00</updated><title type='text'>thurs and fri</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; tired&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Happy Thanksgiving!

Listened to Christmas music and had our lunch! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cauliflower. Yummy!!! Sat around, digesting. Then we put on "Sword in the Stone", as always. :) Had some delicious french silk pie and watched "Jeopardy". Finished the movie and then watched a "Curious George" marathon, lmao. Took a nice, hot, refreshing shower. Watched TV and had our leftover dinner. Started watched "Singin' in the Rain". Got on the computer and did some writing, it was hard. Got off, watched "Spiderman 2" and then "Frasier" and then "Simpson's".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Got woken up by mom. Got dressed and all ready and we set out at 8:30. Went to "Value City", "Kmart", the dollar store, "Walgreen's", another dollar store and another "Walgreen's". Came home, the parents went to get food. Keli called me and said that her, Lin and Chrissy were gonna go to the mall and she invited me along! :) Ate my lunch and sat around a bit. They came to get me around 1:00, called me from my driveway, lol. First we went to "White Castle" and they ate. Then we went to the mall, wandered a bit. Got bored so we went to LaGrange. Wandered around "Borders". Felt very bored, sat in the car wondering what to do. Decided to make bracelets, lmao. Stopped at Chrissy's to get beads and stretchy string. Then went to my house and made some bracelets cause we're nerds! Lin dropped hers like, two times, the poor thing!! They left around 7:00. Watched some of "Shrek 2". Now I'm on here. Not gonna be on long because Chrissy transferred her headache to me, ow.

Finished the movie in French, it had a sad ending! :( Picked groups for our project in LWF and then discussed some stuff. Worked on story in Journalism. Abby had a shadow in lunch, she was so nice! In Study, got to see the OotP trailer!!! Awesome!! Also read the last part of the best Remus/Tonks fanfic ever and wrote some of my novel. Watched "Hamlet" in AP, Kenneth Branagh is really good! And Peter Pettigrew is in it, bizarre! Read from the book in Creative Writing, snooooze. After school, Lin drove me to "Baskin Robbins" and everyone else (Chrissy, Keli, Nicole and Sammy) followed, lol. Everyone but Nicole walked over to "Starbuck's", I got my hot cocoa! Walked back to "Baskins Robbins" and sat at our awesome, long table. :) Talked and talked, it was fun. And then Lin finally told us all the details of her escapades, lmao. Wahoo, Lin! We had a good time. :) We left and Chrissy drove me to her house where mom picked me up. She told me that dad had been bumped by some dude on the way home, eek! He's ok though. Thank God. Came home, watched a little TV and then got on the net. Talked to people, browsed around, wrote a bunch. Also ate a little dinner and a "Tony Bennett Special", featuring Michael Buble in sunglasses!! Lol. Got off and watched "Nova" with the fam. When it was over, I got back on the computer and finished my writing for the day. Past the 35K mark! Got off and watched TV until about 11:00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Ah, first day of break. Woke up, read some of my book while lying in bed. Mom left for work. When Mike woke up, we went downstairs. Watched some TV and read one of my old journals for nostalgia, lol. Got on the computer, watched some funny videos, looked at OotP trailer icons, listened to music and did my Creative Writing homework. Stopped for some lunch, after which mom came home. Watched Mike play Sega and then watched "Lucy." Read more of my book, dad came home early. Watched a little of "Ellen", parents went out. Got on the computer, did writing. Parents came home with dinner. We ate and now I'm on here, typing away at my novel and browsing.

Did my LWF paper, my AP 'Discovery Draft' and my book review, all while listening to the GoF soundtrack. :) Took a break from the computer and watched the Bears, the game was pretty boring though. Got back on the PC to do my novel writing. Parents went out and I got on the net. Spent quite some time on there, browsing around, saving icons, IMing people and such. Felt like a vegetable so I got off. Goofed off with my brother, took some crazy pictures. Parents came home with groceries and dinner. Ate and watched "Seinfeld". Spent the night doing Government notes and watching football highlights. Also watched a great "Amazing Race".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Peace Pride Day, wa-hoo. Woke up, was very tired, did my routine. My bro didn't have school, blah. Had a good ride all the way to school. Sat in the cafe with the peeps, talked and shtuff. Continued the movie in French. Checked in journals and read from the book in Creative Writing. Read "Hamlet" in AP, my eyes really hurt in that class, lol, don't know why. In Study, did my internet stuff and then wrote like crazy. In Journalism, worked on my article and wrote my novel on the side, lol. This is why you are able to have 2 windows open on the computer. ^__^ Talked in lunch, it was fun. Took notes in LWF, boring.

Had a good ride. Talked in the cafe and then stood by the window with Lin and Nicole. Ms. Cruz suggested we start a rumble with this other group of girls that is stealing our 'stand by the window' idea. Took a quiz and finished the meaningless project in Government. Did our presentation in French after many techinical difficulties, oy. It wasn't so bad. AP was....weird. I don't wanna write it down again but it was a student presentation day and....weird stuff happened. Wrote a bit and did internet stuff in Study. Finished project in Journalism, Ashlene and Michelle had shadows in lunch. Sub in LWF, worked on sheets and a bunch of girls were bad mouting Sister Helen. Jerks. Saw WQOP in Creative Writing, blah. It was a day to work on revisions, so me, Lin and Keli just talked. Very dreary weather after school, worked on stuff in the library. Came home in awesomely torrential rain. Ate dinner, watched TV, got on the internet. IMed people and wrote. Got off, watched "Trading Spouses" and various other television until bedtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched TV and played a little Mario Kart. Took a shower, mom dried my hair and we chatted a bit. She told me that she had a dream that I met a cute guy at the library, I wish! :) Wrote a bit of my novel, I'm feeling blocked, yuck. Ate a little lunch and then we set out. Stopped at the dollar store to get stuff for Ashlene's birthday on Monday. Then they dropped me off at Lin's. It was me, Lin, Nicole, Angie, Keli and Chrissy. We all squeezed into Nicole's car and went to "Potbelly's". I just got a coke because I ate already. So, they ate and we chatted a bit. Squeezed back into the car and went back to Lin's. We went in her basement and began to play "Cranium", which is the most kickass game ever!! We got into groups of two and luckily, there were no awkward pairings. It was so much fun!! The "Star performer" category was awesome!!! Katie showed up later on and we kept on playing. Had some pizza. Played the actual game about three times and then started just using up the cards. Very fun!! Then, when the cards were gone we made up our own! It was a lot of fun, really. Got picked up at 9:00. Stopped at "McDonald's" for shakes and then came home. Watched "Monty Python" and then read before bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched "Sunday Morning" and read the paper. Mike finally made his christmas list, lol. Watched TV and started my homework. Parents went out, kept working on homework and watched our tapes of our vacation out west. It looked like Brokeback, lmao. They came back with groceries. We ate some lunch and explained our christmas lists to the parents to insure that we got what we wanted. They went back out. I got on the computer, blasted some music, made revisions to my AP essay and read some HP editorials. They came home and now I'm on here!

Still have about 300 words to write so, later!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-3122362850619600416?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/3122362850619600416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=3122362850619600416' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/3122362850619600416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/3122362850619600416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/11/mon-and-tues.html' title='mon and tues'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-3687292691126750392</id><published>2006-11-05T14:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-05T14:32:03.703-08:00</updated><title type='text'>sat and sun</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; accomplished&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Slept on the blow-up bed with Mike, lol. Woke up, watched TV with the folks, goofed off. Played a little "Mario Kart". Parents went out. Watched some TV and had some lunch. Took a shower and we felt like being silly, so Mike timed me in the shower. Only six minutes, two seconds! Lmao. Parents came back, we put away groceries. Got on the computer. Parents went back out. I blasted music and worked on two papers for LWF. Got on the net for just bit, IMed people and did some novel research stuff. Parents came home and I wrote and wrote. Stopped for dinner. Kept on writing and I made it to 1,948 words! It's getting easier. :) Got off and felt very organized. Snooped around in my closet. We put on "Ghostbusters", which was really funny! Read some old letters I found in my closet and we made chocolate shakes. :) Watched "The Great Escape" on TV and also "Monty Python."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Blow-up bed again! It's quite comfortable. Woke up, watched the "Sunday Morning Show" as usual. Read some parts of the paper. Laid around, watched TV, played with the zoom on the camera. :) Parents made some waffes, yum. Goofed off. Folded some clothes with mom. Put on the Bears game and got on the computer to write! Parents went out and came back and I knocked off 1,833 words! I'm really on schedule, I'm glad. :) Actually, according to figures, at this rate I'll be done three days early, sweet. Got off and watched the Bears get their butts kicked. Dang. They lost, 31 to 13. Parents went out to get some dinner. While they were gone, me and Mike got wrapped up in this movie, "Con Air", it was ridiculous! Lol. They came home, we ate dinner and now I'm on here. Later days!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-3687292691126750392?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/3687292691126750392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=3687292691126750392' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/3687292691126750392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/3687292691126750392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/11/sat-and-sun.html' title='sat and sun'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-7491313634249677876</id><published>2006-11-03T15:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-03T15:58:35.013-08:00</updated><title type='text'>thurs and fri</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; calm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Half day! Woke up, did routine. I had "Titanic" on the brain! Lol. It was cold outside!! Got my admit and met up with the peeps walking in the hall. They had gone to everyone else's locker so went to mine as well. Then we stood by the window talking. Got entrusted with Ms. Haskins' keys again, lol. So, opened the door upstairs for the freshman second period and then went down to the Journalism room for French class. We did research for our projects. Mrs. Johnson teased me and Lin about being off, lol. We shared poetry in Creative Writing. Took an easy test in Government and then corrected it right there. Read the litany of Mary in LWF, accidentally left my admit in there. During Study I went to go get it and Sister Helen was asking me if my family was coming to conferences and what I wanted to do. She said I was a good writer. =) Wrote a bit of my novel in Study but it was shortened so, blah. Took unit 3 exam in AP, not so bad. Mom picked me up at noon. We stopped at the "Hostess" store, and then got lunch at "Arby's". Came home, discovered that it was that time of month, EW. Ate lunch and watched "Lucy". Picked up Mike. Came home and wrote some more. Dad came home and we soon left for parent-teacher conferences. They were in the cafeteria and the library. Went to Ms. Haskins first, then Mr. Bell (my mom said he had the weakest handshake in a man she'd ever felt, haha!), waited by Ms. Borrowdale but she was taking forever. So, we moved on to Sister Helen, then Mrs. Johnson who, when I told her about National Novel Writing Month, was kind of discouraging about it. Whatever. Went to the library for Ms. Carroll, she said I had to talk more, lol, of course. Talked to my counselor too and have decided to drop Journalism next semester. Stopped at KMart and for food on the way home. Came home, ate, watched the end of "Kiki's Delivery Service" finally. Then I got on the computer and wrote my brains out. Got 2,190 words done, I'm on schedule now. Got off, watched "Frasier" and then "Simpson's".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; No school! Wahoo! Had a pretty cool dream. Woke up, watched TV and chatted with mom. Kate Winslet was on some morning show, haha. She's got an English accent! Who knew? :P Mom left. I watched "Mad About You" and then "Oprah".  Got on the computer, blasted tunes and worked my ass off on my French Power Point presentation. Stopped for some lunch and to watch "Lucy". Got back on and wrote some of my novel. Got dressed, mom and Mike came home and we all went out to the video store. Dropped off and picked up "The Sandlot", "Help" and "Ghostbusters". Came back home, wrote some more and watched "Curious George" and "Jeopardy". Ate some dinner and lounged around. Now I'm on here. Well, later!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-7491313634249677876?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/7491313634249677876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=7491313634249677876' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/7491313634249677876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/7491313634249677876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/11/thurs-and-fri.html' title='thurs and fri'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-8049456553459864877</id><published>2006-11-01T15:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-01T15:47:27.341-08:00</updated><title type='text'>tues and weds</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; calm but a bit tired&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Happy Halloween!! Woke up, did my routine, got to wear my spooky socks, lol. Sat in the cafe, Lin, Keli and Chrissy were in a meeting so I talked with the others. Keli had the cutest pumpkin earrings on! She told me she couldn't come for Halloween Hijinks, dang. Went over our review sheet in Government. Got candy in French, worked on our project thing-ys. Got the senior clothing order form, thank God. In LWF, just took notes and in Journalism we saw the PowerPoint again. There were like, no seniors in lunch, it was so depressing, they were all at a homeroom party thing. But I got to spin the wheel for 'Super Service Turn-In' and I won a free basic package of prom photos! :) Went to Study and got more candy from the librarian, did internet stuff. In AP, Lin told me she won the free prom tickets!! Sweet. We took a vocab quiz and watched the next vocab video in there. Shared poetry in Creative Writing. After school, went to FNHS (more candy! Lol). It was really quick, we just voted on what food we're going to cook for our little party thing. So, sat in the library for a few minutes and began the prologue to my novel. Lin picked me up around 3:40 and we drove to my house. Chrissy ended up coming too! So, we ate and I changed into my costume and we headed out with Mike and Matt in tow. It was kinda chilly but we walked quite a way and got some great candy! Matt's cape got stuck on this bush and then so did Chrissy's! And I ran into a tree branch, ow. :P Came home, watched "Seinfeld" and "Dancing with the Stars" while sipping hot cocoa and eating candy. Chrissy arranged my candy neatly, lmao. Looked at pictures on each other's cameras and talked for a long time about men and prom and stuff. Chrissy left around 10:30. Me and Lin put on the second half of "Titanic", OMG, it was so tragic, but so well done. I really love that movie. Flipped around and saw some late night TV (like Space Jesus, lmao) and dozed off during "Dr. Phil", lol. Slept pretty well through the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up around 8:00. Sat upstairs with Mike and mom a little since Lin wasn't awake yet. Mom left for work. I put "Oprah" on and Lin soon woke up. After "Oprah" we put on "Dial M for Murder", excellent Hitchcock film! Watched a bit of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and then some of the special features on "Titanic". Lin headed out around 1:15. We watched "Lucy" and made a small lunch. Mom came home, she went to drop off my contest entry but we're not sure it'll get postmarked in time, damn. So, watched some TV and did my AP homework. Dad came home, ate dinner. Typed up my poem for Creative Writing and now I am on here. Halloween was a lot of fun. Glad you guys could make it! I hope you had fun too. :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-8049456553459864877?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/8049456553459864877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=8049456553459864877' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8049456553459864877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8049456553459864877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/11/tues-and-weds.html' title='tues and weds'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-2030893921860919619</id><published>2006-10-30T16:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-10-30T16:01:33.893-08:00</updated><title type='text'>sun and mon</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; calm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Daylight Savings Time, wahoo. Woke up, watched the "Sunday Morning Show", it was a good one. Did you know it's been about 60 years since the first ballpoint pen was introduced? Insane. Read some of the paper and then read my second essay for AP. Watched TV. Played 'hangman' with my brother on the dry-erase board and the marker fumes really got to us, lmao. Everyone but me went outside to do yard work, so I blasted music on the PC and read some old ff. Ate some lunch and put the Bears game on, we are smokin'!!!! Played more hangman, haha. Read a bit of ff and then got on the net for a while. Got dressed and we went out to "Target". Looked at the book section and got a bunch more for my Christma list. Picked up movies for Halloween. Came home, did a few more hangmans. Heard that the Bears won, 41 to 10!! We are now 7 wins, 0 losses! Wahoo!! Watched "Frasier", had a yummy steak dinner. Then we carved our pumpkin, very scary face this year, lol. Watched "The Amazing Race", decorated the first page of my new journal and then watched half of "Hitchcock."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; School, yuck. Woke up, did my routine, it was pretty nice out. Heard two people collide right behind us on La Grange, holy crap. It was scary. Was in front of Chrissy half the way on 87th, it was funny, she didn't even notice us! Sat in the cafe talking, as per usual. Discussed our journals in French. Unscrambled a poem in Creative Writing, and then me, Lin &amp;amp; Keli talked about Halloween and menstruation. Lmao. :P Finally got our contest entries back too. Discussed essays in AP, scary thoughts there....like the year 2030, it's far away, but it's not really. Frightening. Did internet stuff in Study, got kinda freaked out cause NaNoWriMo begins on Wednesday! Holy crap. Watched a power point in Journalism, lunch was blah, everyone was quiet. Watched some boring video on Samuel Mazzuchelli in LWF. Stupid idiot in Government told us we're having a unit test. Wa-hoo. It'll be stretched over Wednesday and Thursday. I don't give a damn, I'm staying home anyways, I'll just do the whole thing on Thursday, it's not that long. Sat in the library after school, surfing the net and doing stuff. Came home, had dinner and watched TV and now I'm on here. Later! Halloween tomorrow!!! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-2030893921860919619?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/2030893921860919619/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=2030893921860919619' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2030893921860919619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2030893921860919619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/10/sun-and-mon.html' title='sun and mon'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-4901172967724985839</id><published>2006-10-28T17:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-28T17:17:28.880-07:00</updated><title type='text'>fri and sat</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; cheerful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;music:&lt;/strong&gt; "Prisoner of Azkaban" on TV!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine.

Ashlene found scissors on the ground for me since I lost mine, lol. Took a quiz and listened to Current Events in Government. Listened to music in French while we translated our stories. Saw a pretty good Halloween WQOP. Student teaching day in AP, got to be in a group with Lin, lol. Talked to mom in Study about plans after school. Last revision in Journalism (Thank God!), talked in lunch. Sister Helen had my LWF journal that I had left there. We handed in our papers and got "M&amp;amp;M's"! Cindy didn't want hers so I got two, lol. Did more poetry in CW, me and Lin are geniuses, we figured out "Grasshopper". We rock. After school, me, Lin, Chrissy, Keli, Nicole and Sammy went to "Starbuck's". I got some hot cocoa and paid all in change, lmao. We just happened to see Cindy at the drive-thru!

Goofed off, played Mario Kart. Parents went out, played around on the computer a bit. They came home, had some lunch. Went through the clothes from Beth and then cleaned out all my dresser drawers. Then we went out to find Joliet Junior College. It's super duper far but it's really nice inside. We saw deer on the campus! Awesome. Got dinner. Came home, ate. Went out to "CVS".

It was a chilly morning! Did routing, had a long ride. Had fun talking in the cafe with mah peeps. Studied shape poems and then wrote our own in Creative Writing. Worked on our poster in Government and I left my scissors in there, argh. Discussed essays in AP. Stupid underclassmen were clogging the library in Study. Fixed article again in Journalism, talking in lunch. LWF was dull, just took notes but Sister Helen said I was "the classic example of an introvert". Lmao, it was funny. Read more of this story in French and then we had to hear Michaela's story about this fight she had with this lady, it was funny. :P After school, cleared up some crap. Spent time on the net. Saw a bratty frosh getting told off by her mom in the main office, and a homeless dude on the street. Ew. Lol. Came home, finished reading "Unfortunate Events, book 13". It was fabulous!!! Had dinner, watched TV, did my goddam history notes. Finally finished. Relaxed by watching "Dancing with the Stars" and "Secrets of the Dead".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, I remember I had a dream that had something to with Lupin but I didn't remember any details by the time I was out of the shower. It was a very dark &amp;amp; dreary morning. Had an ok ride, got to school pretty early. Had fun talking in the cafe. French was funny again, we got our stories for our projects. Did poetry in Creative Writing. Presented our poster in Government and we were one of the teams that got extra credit, sweet. Although, fourth day in a row for notes. WTF?? Notes in LWF, snooore. Left my LWF journal in the classroom on accident, damn. Journalism was kinda sucky, had to revise yet again. Left my lunchbox in there and did not realize until I got all the way to the cafe. Not funny. Grrr. Talked in lunch. Had some quality internet time in Study. Got an email from good 'ol Madina and a comment from Mandy!! Awesome. Did the in-class vocab writing in AP, wasn't so bad. After school, got some stuff cleared up with Ms. G. Library was closed so I sat in the cafeteria listening to "Pride and Prejudice" and doing homework for a while. Mom picked me up at 3. Stopped off at a bakery and got some streusel cakes, delish! Came home, watched some TV, did some homework, had dinner. Wrote my LWF paper and now I'm on here! Later days! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-2912707562406985961?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/2912707562406985961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=2912707562406985961' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2912707562406985961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/2912707562406985961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/10/weds-and-thurs_26.html' title='weds and thurs'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-5922451992522861289</id><published>2006-10-24T16:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-24T16:48:01.801-07:00</updated><title type='text'>mon and tues</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; The weekend felt long, dragging along with fun things inserted in, so Monday and school was somewhat of a nasty shock. Woke up, did routine, had a really long ride. Red Ribbon Week begins. Sat in the cafe talking. Got out papers back in French and found out that Dimitri died, so sad. Went over poems in Creative Writing, blah. Went over essays in groups during AP. Did internet stuff in Study, as usual. Skipped the presentation on depression during Journalism, she let us skip it. We typed up our stories. Talked in lunch. Took notes in LWF, boring boring boring. Finished up dollar thingy in Government and then changed seats. I'm not by Keli anymore!! Weep. After school, did some net stuff and also took some Government notes. Came home, had dinner, watched TV, did notes. Got on the net for just a bit, sent a thank-you to my Lewis counselor, did some other shtuff. Got off, fixed my french paper. Made out an application for the University of St. Francis. Then I watched some of "Kiki's Delivery Service", I really like that movie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, it was C-O-L-D!!! Did routine, had a long ride but I heard a bunch of songs on the radio that I had been thinking of, that was awesome. Saw Ms. G in the hallway and she hugged me when I told her about Lewis, lol. Talked in the cafe, good times. Started this dumb group project in Government. In French, she showed us a clip of Kirsten Dunst of the Ellen DeGeneres show talking about the Marie Antoinette movie, then we read some of this story thing. Took notes in LWF, duuuuullllll. She corrected my article in Journalism and I began to make revisions. Chatted in lunch. Did normal net stuff in Study. Talked about essays and did a practice AP essay in AP, lol. Went over more poems in Creative Writing....snooooooore. After school, talked to mom over email, took Government notes again, talked with Celi who was in the library with me. Ms. Hanlon came out of her office while I was in sitting there waiting for dad and she offered me and this other girl some Dove chocolate. Weird....but yummy. Came home, watched TV, had a great dinner, did AP homework. Got on here and this is where my story ends. Later!! ^__^&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-5922451992522861289?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/5922451992522861289/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=5922451992522861289' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/5922451992522861289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/5922451992522861289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/10/mon-and-tues_24.html' title='mon and tues'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-5975281463741892894</id><published>2006-10-22T11:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-22T11:42:33.375-07:00</updated><title type='text'>weekend</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt;  Woke up, watched some TV, hung around with the bro. Got dressed and me and the parents went to the dentist. I was super nervous. They both came into the examination room with me, he looked at my teeth and gave me the low-down. I need braces, period, blah. Although, since the tooth has already poked through, I don't need surgery, thank God. Came home, vacuumed the whole house. Ate some lunch, called Chrissy to find out what was going on later. Me and mom went out. First to "Office Depot", then "Target" where I bought a new journal, two "Radio Shack"'s, "Dominick's" (Blake wasn't there! Weep.), and I pumped gas for the first time. I don't like it, gas makes me nervous....too blow-upable. Came home, sat for a little bit and then we headed out to Lin's. Got there, talked with her and Chrissy for a while. Then Keli, Nicole and Angie came. We headed to "Giodano's", the planes were right above us, it was awesome!! Had a thirty minute wait so we sat and talked. Got seated in the cool back room, lol. Ordered our pizza, Katie came, we waited and waited, we were getting hungry!! Finally the pizza came and it was really good! Nicole mutilated hers, lmao. When we were done eating, Lin opened her presents. She got some great stuff, I hope she liked it all!! Afterwards, we went back to Chrissy's to crash. Sat around, took goofy pictures and even some video. It was soooooooo much fun, really, we had a great time. When it was almost time to leave, Angela put on a special puppet show for us with Keli, Chrissy and Lin as the puppets, lmao!! Oy, so, Lin, Angela, Keli and Nicole left. Shortly after, my dad came for me. We had a rainy ride home. :) Came home and watched the Michael Buble concert that just happened to be on PBS!! Shweet. Did my journal, read a little and then fell asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, felt very well-rested since I slept pretty late. Came downstairs, watched some TV, read the paper, read my AP essay. Got on the computer, fooled around on there for a bit. Took a shower, dried my hair and now I'm on here. This is the most convenient time for me to post although not too much has happened in my day. I'll probably spend some time on here and then we're going out for pizza with my aunt and uncle. Later! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-5975281463741892894?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/5975281463741892894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=5975281463741892894' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/5975281463741892894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/5975281463741892894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/10/weekend.html' title='weekend'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-8886170667973376247</id><published>2006-10-20T17:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-20T17:18:11.920-07:00</updated><title type='text'>thurs and fri</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine, was tired because I was up at 1 AM for some reason, ew. Had a good ride though. Saw Lauren the Loser "talking" on her cell phone. Idiot. Sat in the cafe talking, good times. And we saw a squirrel by the window, he was so cute!! Started a project in French. Got into groups to share our poems in Creative Writing, yuck. Had a sub in Government, did work from the book. Nice journaling time in LWF. Typed our interviews in Journalism, talking in lunch. Did the usual internet stuff in Study, Chrissy sent me a cute email! :) Discussed essays in AP. After school, Chrissy had to do some stuff upstairs so I waited on the internet in the library. She came and got me, we got the stuff out of her car, and began to decorate Lin's locker. We talked while doing it, it was real nice. The locker...she is perfection! Really, we did a great job. Met up with Katie, walked around a little, bought a drink. Came home, had dinner, watched TV. The parents went out. I did my homework and we just kept watching TV. Finished reading "Mr. Darcy's Daughters"!! It was so awesome. :) Parents came home, watched a little "Frasier" and then went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Happy Birthday Lin!! The big 1-8!! =) Woke up, did routine, saw the Loser Lauren again! Urgh. Talked in the cafe, Lin loved her locker! Hehe. Did an activity in Government where we analysed the dollar bill and Therese got in trouble for talking back, heeheehee, I hate her. Read a story and watched a video of this girl's yard decorated for Halloween in French. At the end of that period, WQOP came on, it was pretty good. Had a sub in AP, just took a practice multiple choice test, it was all right. Internet shtuff in Study, of course. Started writing a draft of our story in Journalism and talked in lunch. Took notes in LWF, blah. Forgot to do a bunch of&lt;br /&gt;homework in Creative Writing, that makes me soooo mad at myself. Argh. After school, sat on the internet and got my CW done. Came home, got a huge envelope from Lewis. It was just saying that I'm in and it gave me a certificate signifying my scholarship. :) Ate dinner, watched TV. Talked a little with mom, drafted my Journalism while watching TV and now I am on here! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-8886170667973376247?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/8886170667973376247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=8886170667973376247' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8886170667973376247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/8886170667973376247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/10/thurs-and-fri_20.html' title='thurs and fri'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-1490178072820151444</id><published>2006-10-18T16:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-18T16:40:08.881-07:00</updated><title type='text'>thurs and fri</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content and happy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Bears won last night, unbelievable comeback!! And we are now, 6 &amp; 0!! Shweet. Woke up, did routine, had a rainy ride. Peeps were at a meeting so I sat in the library. Found them upstairs. Government frist period, we took a quiz and some notes. Went over the homework and watched "Finding Nemo" in French, lol. Did my prayer in LWF. I was nervous, but it was no big deal. Took notes in there. Got out grades and got some papers back in Journalism. Had fun talking in lunch. Did a bunch of internet stuff and began my short story in Study. Talked about essays and did a practice intro in AP. Got a lot of homework in Creative Writing, it was insane. And we started to go a bit insane, lmao. "Hoo-ha!" =) After school, went to FNHS meeting. Ms. Jancys wasn't there. We just watched cooking videos to get ideas for our cooking party, lol. Came home and there was a messge from Lewis, I got in and I got a scholarship!!! Sooo happy! :) Watched TV, ate dinner, did homework. Got on the net for a while and also finished writing my short story. Got off, printed everything and watched "Frasier".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Last night, reading "Mr. Darcy's Daughters" was great! Wytton loves Camilla, not Sophie!! This is how it should be!! Lol. So, woke up, did routine, had an easy ride. It was a half day so I didn't bother bringing my backpack. Found the peeps wheeling in the piano with Ms. Cruse, lol. We slinked away from that and decided to sit in the gym since we were gonna end up in there anywho. Talked for a while. So, then the day began. We took attendance and then we were able to sit with our friends. First, we saw a presentation on college campus safety, made me not wanna go! Lol. Scary stuff. Got split up. Me, Lin, Keli &amp;amp; Nicole saw a panel of QoP alumni, it was all right. Then we got split up again. Me &amp;amp; Lin went to Ms. Cruse's room for the college essay workshop, it was dumb. Me and Lin had to "assist", it was pretty pointless. So, after that, we waited for Keli and Nicole...Alex teased us a little, lmao. Finally they came down and we set off for "Wendy's". Got food, ate and talked a lot. Chrissy almost lost her school ring but thanks to a helpful "Wendy's" employee, it's back on her finger! Close one!! Sat in there talking for quite some time, it was nice to just talk. Left around 2:30, mom was waiting for me at Chrissy's. We drove home, dropped Mike off and went to the store to get something for Linny. Lol. Came home, watched TV and read my AP essay. Had dinner. Helped mom make some fudge for Chrissy since we really appreciate her driving me. And now I'm on here!

Haha. Also, the 13th and final book of "Series of Unfortunate Events" came out! Woke up, did routine, was pissed off at my hair, lol. Had a good ride, got there fast. Sat in the cafe, talking to the peeps and laughing at this creepy freshman that keeps staring at me, EW. Everyone was in good spirits cause it was Friday. :) Did current events in Governement. Saw a lame-o WQOP, blah. In French, we did a bit of grammer and then got really off-topic, talking about migraines, lol. Student teaching day in AP, it was fun! Got cupcakes and did skits, fun. In Study, did my usual net stuff. Talked in Journalism, chatted in lunch. Had weird sub again in LWF, just worked on a handout. Went over poems in Creative Writing, {"hope!"}. After school, sat in the library doing stuff. Araceli was in there and we talked a bit. Came home, ate dinner, packed and we headed off to Michigan!!! The ride was suuuuper long, what with all the construction, but I read one of my AP essays on the way. We stopped at the the local grocery store there and then it was onto the condo! It was freezing in there!!! We watched some TV and snacked and then fell asleep in the cozy back bedroom. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up in Michigan, walked out of the bedroom to see the wonderful view of the nice, blue lake. Lovely. Went downstairs, watched TV with the folks. Talked for a while and then got dressed and cleaned up. Went to the local grocery store to get their infamous, delicious chicken for lunch. also bought a postcard, lol. Got McDonald's for Mike, had to sit there forever cause they have mental block about not putting cheese on a "PLAIN" quarter pounder. They're like, "plain comes with cheese..", well that's stupid! Sheesh. Came back to the condo to eat lunch and talk. Went back out, both libraries around there were closed so I couldn't type my stuff....darn...::wink::. Drove around, got a carwash at the place with Brokeback scenery behind it, lol. Also browsed the local antique shop, always fun. Came back to the condo and we decided to watch "Sleeping Beauty", gack, it was sooooo fun to watch!! I love that movie. Wrote my book review, watched swans in the lake and talked. Went out to dinner at the "Easy Street Inn" which looks like "The Leaky Cauldron" and has great food! Only downside was that we went there later than we usually do, and the Tigers game was on {puke!!!} and it was realllly smoky in there, ew. Came back, wrote my service reflection. This lady came over from next door, she's a friend of the brother of the wife of my aunt, who owns the condo.....didja follow that? Neither did I, lmao. Watched "Finding Nemo", read some of my book and drifted off to sleep in the cozy, back bedroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday&lt;/strong&gt;: Woke up, watched the "Sunday Morning Show". Then we put on this video I found at the antique shop, called "The Reluctant Dragon." I used to quote it when I was like, really little, it was funny to watch. Played some "Mario Kart" and got a good score on one race I've been trying to improve for a while. Washed my hair, got dressed and we went to the apple orchard!! When we first got in, we bought a pumpkin, an apple pie and some delicious apple doughnuts!! Dropped those off at the car and ventured onto the farm. Took a hay ride to get to where the apples were. Picked a bunch and took lots of pictures, we are really camera-happy. Rode the hay ride all around the farm, went through the lame-o corn maze and then left. Got "Pizza Hut" for lunch. Came back to the condo, ate, watched some football and played "Scrabble" with mom &amp; Mike while dad watched a "James Bond", lol. Got all packed up and we left around 4:00....::weep::, I wanted to stay!! Read my second AP essay on the ride, flipped through the AP book, I was bored. Stopped at "Jewel" where I got someone's birthday card (heehee) and then "Game Crazy" for Mike. Came home, unpacked, ate some dinner, it was nice to be home. Watched "The Amazing Race" and uploaded the pics onto the computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Blah, back to school. Woke up, was pretty tired still, did routine. Sat in the cafe and talked with the peeps in the morning. Felt like I missed something, lmao, I dunno. Talked about our weekends in French. Checked in journals and discussed poetry in Creative Writing. Took a mini-quiz and then discussed the essays in AP. In Study, I caught up on all of my internet shtuff. She had to talk to the sophomores about the PSAT in Journalism, blah. Talked with Ashlene in lunch, good times. Gave Celi the pic of Rupert Grint I found in the paper, lol. Took notes in LWF. Keli told me all about the "Lin Scheme" in Government, haha. :)  {I know and you don't! Sorry, that's mean. :P} Took actual notes in there, like off the board.....weird.

Had a good ride to school, talked with mom a lot. Got to school, sat in the cafe talking. Everyone seemed to be in better spirits than earlier in the week. First was Creative Writing where she showed us some contests we can enter and we went over poems. Fire drill during Government!!! Holy crap!! Scared the shit out of me and it was coooold outside! We got our debates back and the only reason we didn't get a 'C' was because we won the debate and got 5 extra credit points!! Whew! Did writing workshop in AP, only one person had their paper so we goofed off. Internet surfing galore in Study. Took a test in Journalism. In lunch, found out that Ashlene's foot might be broken! Yikes. Also checked on my service hours and Lewis University was there but I didn't know it was my admission counselor!! I could have talked to him!! I come home and there's a postcard on the table, "I will be at your school at 11:15!" Yeah, thanks a lot dumbass, that's helpful now that the day is over. Gah. So, in LWF we took notes and got off-topic. She let us vent in French and then she just let us work on the assignment we had. After school, did net stuff and also worked on my AP paper. Came home, had dinner, watched TV and did homework. Spent some time on the net, commenting back and forth with Ana. Got off, finished my paper. Watched the end of "Dancing with the Stars" and then a really great "Secrets of the Dead". Good show. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine. Talked alot again on the way to school. Chilled in the cafe, talking with da peeps. Did book stuff in French and it began to SNOW! WTF??? Argh. Still snowy in Creative Writing where we went over some poems. Still snowy in Government where we took a quiz and talked about some chart we did. She was angry at us for some reason in LWF, go figure, she has her moody days. It was pretty boring in there, half of it was lecture time. Started snowing again in Journalism where we corrected our test from yesterday. Chatted in lunch. Internet business in Study. Workshops in AP, but we only had one paper again so it was slack off day. Haha. After school the library was closed. So I sat in the cafeteria and I managed to finish ALL my homework while listening to music. The library was back open around 3:10 so I went in there and sat on the net. Came home, had dinner, watched TV. And now I am on here.

Test review in LWF. Internet stuff in Study and I was still not caught up with my flist and stuff, yikes. Discussed in Journalism, chatted in lunch. Had current events in Government, North Korea worries me. At 2:00 we went into the gym for the Faculty Assembly. It was pretty great, I was glad I came to school if only for that. It was hosted by the deans and they were like, looking for the perfect song to display justice. Each department got to do, like, an audition. Mr. Bell can sing...I know, it was scary and strangely...urgh, I don't know. Sister Helen was the voice of God, lol. Got a lot of moments to scream for '07!! Sat in the library afterwards, on the net. Came home, my guide to writing a mystery novel came on the Bookmobile! Had dinner, watched TV, wrote my vocab thing. Got on the net for a while.

Talked in the cafeteria and made plans for Saturday. Had a sub in Government, we worked out of the book. Saw an ok WQOP, they're just not as great as last year's. Watched "Beauty and the Beast" in French. Got into groups in AP to play a sort of game involving the essays we read. Did internet shtuff in Study. Tallied up polls, discussed an article, and had a pink cupcake (made by Ms. B in honor of Homecoming) in Journalism. Chatted in lunch. Sat in a circle in LWF and acted out parts as biblical women, oh boy. Went over poems in Creative Writing and then listened to some stupid rap song. After school, sat in the library, being bored, doing internet stuff. Saw losers on the way home that were passing out some paper that said we should impeach Bush. Psssh. They came to our window and my dad's like, "Get the crap out of my face!" It was GREAT! :) Lol. Came home, had dinner, watched TV, did some of my homework. Watched "Deal or No Deal", some other TV and then went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, laid in bed a little. Watched a bunch of TV, played "Mario Kart". Heard the joyous news that the Minnesota effing Twins are out of the playoffs!!! YAY! Tried on my homecoming dress, felt pretty. :) Accidentally popped the lens out of Mike's glasses while goofing off, haha. After searching on our knees we found the teensy screw and fixed it. Had some lunch. Lewis University called me and said once they find my transcript they're going to admit me and tell me my scholarship amount! Shweet. Took a shower, dried hair, set off for Chrissy's. Got there and watched "Pretty in Pink", which is very cute, while Chrissy, Keli, Lin and I straightened our hair. Got dressed and primped. Took some nice pictures in Chrissy's backyard. Went to "Bennigan's" for dinner, very tasty food. We were super early so we just sat in there talking about life. :) Set off for the dance. Met up with Nicole there and also saw Cindy and her date! So, we basically danced the night away, it was awesomeness. The music was pretty good, not too much rap crap. And we took our traditonal picture by the most prominent piece of decoration. Afterwards, we met up with Katie at "Coldstone" and had some delicious birthday cake ice cream. Ahhh, it was sooo good. Of course, it was because there was druuuuugs in it. HAHA. Went back to Chrissy's and got into our comfy clothes. My feet were killing me!! Looked at some pictures on Chrissy's computer. Then we were being a bit hysterical and thought that a serial killer might get in the house and steal the milk. LMAO. Best moment of the night, honestly. When we went into the family room, there was this HUGE spider on the couch!! Chrissy killed it and fed it to her fishies, lol. We pulled the bed out of the couch and set it up.Four of us jammed onto that bed, wow. We started to watch some "Dracula" movie with Leslie Nielsen and Mel Brooks but we all fell asleep, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; What a night. I was falling off the bed half the time! Woke up around 3 in the morning cause of Lin's vibrating cell phone. Sheesh, Dan was texting her. Isn't it a little late?? Lmao, it was funny. Kept waking up, even watched a little "Nick at Nite" but I got about 6 or 7 hours of sleep, which is more than I expected. Haha. Woke up around 8:00, watched TV and laid around. Lin and Keli got picked up at 9:00. Me, Chrissy and Katie ate some cinnnamon rolls and chatted. Daddy picked me up at 10:00. God, I was so tired, still am, lol. Came home, talked with the folks a little. Got on the computer and started stupid homework while listening to music to keep me awake. Did my french paper and made revisions to my AP paper. Took a break to eat some lunch and watch some of the Bears game. We, my friends, are winning, 27 to 0!!!!!!! We rock. Parents went out and came back, kept watching the Bears! Did reading for Journalism. Bears won, 40 to 7!!! Sweetness. And now I am on here. Wow, what a great weekend.

So, they wake me up....just to tell me I'm not going. Haha. We'd never have gotten there in time, the roads were awful. So, I had to miss the Spirit Assembly, crap. Laid in bed for a while, read a bit, saw the news and all the damage. Mom took Mike to school and came back. We watched some TV together. She left for work, I watched some of "Oprah". Mike's friend Alex called, he has two trees down and no school, yikes. Got on the computer, listened to music and started to make CD covers for my new mix CD. Took some pictures for the cover, came out nicely, and the camera is so fun! Lol. Finished making that and had some lunch. Decided to watch "Beauty and the Beast", it was cute! I love that movie. Also took some video of it with the camera. Mom came home, we chatted and watched TV. Picked Mike up, came home and now I'm on here. More rain tonight, oy. Dinnertime!

Blasted music, customized an autumn LJ layout, went through lots of icons and read some fanfiction. Ate lunch and watched "The Megan Mullally Show", it's really not that wonderful, lol. Got on the internet. Did some stuff, talked to Chrissy, put up my layout. Got dressed at the speed of light and quickly made an LJ post. Mom came to get me. We picked Mike up from school and went to the library. I got the book for my next review and handed in my "Wicked" essay. Came home, finished a ff, watched TV, had dinner. Did my AP homework, watched a lot of TV and helped Mike on "Family Feud" on Nintendo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Fun day!! Woke up around 7:50. Watched some TV and then showered. Lin called and said they had some transportation problems, crap. Watched "Beakman's World", lmao, played a little Mario Kart and then read "Artemis Fowl". Parents went shopping and came back and then went out again. I finished "Artemis Fowl"!!! It was wonderful! Parents came back with lunch, we started to eat and Lin called again. Plans were still intact! Yayness. So, after we ate, me and mom went to the mall and met the Chrissy, Lin and Keli. Found a homecoming dress at "Carson's", like right away, it was great. It's a black halter with hot pink ribbon on the top and stuff, it's nice. Bought it and then mom left. We wandered the mall a bit and then decided to go to my house. Chatted in my room, then we ate a little and talked even more. Went back to the mall, browsed "Hot Topic" and "Waldenbooks". Went to "Party City", bought nothing. Went to "Michael's" and guess who we saw?? Me and Chrissy's old principal!!! EW!! It was really creepy. I bought some cheap pens there. Then we went on a quest to find "Pretty in Pink" but it was out everywhere! Damn. Came back to my house, made our buttons for "Fave Holiday" day, Chrissy made us animals out of cardboard (haha) and we goofed off. It was fun! They left around 8:30, I just laid around and then watched "Monty Python" before bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched some television, read my usual sections of the paper. Checked the crossword, I didn't do too bad. {It was scapulas, for the shoulder bones clue! Grr.} Got on the computer and looked up stuff for this week's crossword, urgh. Had some lunch, typed my argument for Government.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-115972735469960548?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/115972735469960548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=115972735469960548' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115972735469960548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115972735469960548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/10/fri-sat-sun.html' title='fri, sat, sun'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-115948981658949744</id><published>2006-09-28T17:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-28T17:30:16.613-07:00</updated><title type='text'>wed and thurs</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; happy!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;music:&lt;/strong&gt; Keane: Put It Behind You&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did routine.

Got on the net, made plans, read fanfiction, saved icons, etc. Got off the internet and continued to read the brilliance of MrsTater.

So, watched the Disney version again in French. Shared our poems in Creative Writing, really fun! Got into debate groups in Government. Saw WQOP in LWF, it was all right. Did journal time in there. Got really off topic in Journalism, (LOL), and then typed our poll questions. Talked and had fun in lunch. :) Did internet stuff in Study. Did our vocab paragraph in-class in AP, it wasn't so bad. After school, waited for the peeps by the vending machines and we headed off, I rode with Chrissy. We stopped at "Starbuck's" and I got a hot chocolate. Went to Chrissy's house, chilled, drank our respective beverages and just chilled. Then we came up with the absolutely brilliant idea for "Fave Holiday Day" during Spirit Week next week!! We are geniuses, honestly. Had a lot of fun just making plans and chatting, it was awesome. So, Lin drove me home, saint that she is. And I hope she enjoys her 'puppy chow'! :) So, ate some dinner and talked wtih the folks, telling them all the plans we made so they know what's going on. And now I'm on here. :) Later!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;{p.s. Three day weekend!

Remember that?? Lol. Finished reading "Half-Moon Investigations", it was great! Got dressed and we went to the dentist, I was really nervous. Got there, that blasted dentist smell was still there. I hate that. I read a magazine with Clay on the cover, heehee. The dentist's assistant that took me in was the girl that was on 'American Idol'!! Lol. She took an x-ray, (I hate x-rays), and even let me see it. The dentist came in and told me what was going on. It turns out that there is a tooth growing in behind my front row of teeth, it's a permanent one that doesn't want to wait for the baby one to get loose. I thought all my baby teeth were gone, but apparently not. So, he says they'll probably pull the baby tooth and then I'll need a brace put in to correct the position of the permanent one. Oy. I'm scared. Went to the Italian store, came home and then got lunch out. Came home, ate, Mike's friend Alex came over. Me &amp;amp; Mom went out to "Party City" to get my wig for Halloween, and then to "Borders" where I bought Clay's newest album, "A Thousand Different Ways". Siiiiigh. Came home and Lin called about homework, lol. Went out to "Target", where I bought the newest "Artemis Fowl" book, yayness! Came home, the parents went out again and I got on the internet. Parents came back and it got a bit rainy. Got off the internet and had some dinner. Watched TV, did a little of my homework and then styled my wig, lmao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched "The Sunday Morning Show". Read some of the paper, checked the crossword and started the new one, oy. :P Got on the computer and did crossword research. Uploaded Clay into iTunes and played some Spider Solitaire and Mooshu Tiles. Had dinner, watched a little of the Bears game. Mom started making chicken soup.....God, it smells sooo good!! Wrote my LWF paper and the printer was screwing up one me, sheesh. Bears won! Got on the net, did some stuff and now I'm gonna eat dinner! ::GASP:: Sox won too!! Yippee!

Last night, my cousin had her baby! Woke up, it was cold! Did routine, went to school. Was walking to the cafe and Keli was coming towards me and she's like "They're in the library." So I go in there, and don't see 'em, so I sat on the net. I come out and they're by the window so I'm like, "Why did you say they were in the library??" And she's like, "Did I say library??" It was funny. Ms. Haskins gave me her key to open her door, but then she didn't need me to open it, I wanted to open the door! Lol. So, first period in French we did some translating. Did book stuff in Creative Writing. Took a quiz in Government. Surprise fire drill in LWF!!! Eek! Scared the crap out of all of us! Did another situation in Journalism, talked in lunch. Did internet stuff in Study. Did a multiple choice practice in AP, oy. After school, the library was closed so I sat in the cafeteria, did homework and listened to "Keane". Mom picked me up. We went to the hospital to visit Connie and her baby. First of all, parking is five million miles away from the building if you want to park for free. Second of all, you can't have more than two people up there and you can't take elevator B, only elevator A. So, we got a little lost.....ok, a lot lost, lmao. But we finally made it up there and my goodness, he is just a bundle of sweetness!! His name is Brayden, such a cutie. :) We chatted a little and then left. Got McDonald's on the way home. Came home, had dinner, did my AP homework, got on the net. Watched the Clay Aiken interview that mom taped for me. Spent some time on the internet, got off and watched TV until bedtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, heard the rain beating on the roof, and smiled. :) Did routine. Sat in the cafeteria in the morning, had fun talking. Did some....stuff in Government, it's so boring in there. And losers that sit behind me were.....being losers, lol. Saw a short and lame WQOP, blah. Did translation and watched the old "Beauty and the Beast" movie...it's so slow!! Another student teaching day in AP, it was fun, I liked the essays and we got to journal. :) Came into Study and the "Town Hall Meeting" thing was going on. God, they were loud.

It was nice out and it was a Pride Day! Got to school, talked in the cafeteria. Araceli was talking to me about Shoebox, she wants to read it! Took a quiz in Government. Unannounced fire drill during French!! I knew it was coming, they weren't announcing WQOP, so I just knew. Ms.Formica took a girl out of my class to see if Ms. Haskins would notice! Lol. We read some of the original "Beauty &amp;amp; the Beast" in there. Saw WQOP third period, "Simpson's" themed, it was good! In AP, it was the first of many student teaching days, we did a skit, it was all right. During study, did stuff on the internet. Got yearbooks during Journalism!!! We spent the whole time just looking through them. Lunch was boring cause Ashlene wasn't there. Blah. LWF was boring too, and in Creative Writing we wrote sentences from the book with certain words. After school, waited for all the peeps by the door and then we set off. I rode with Lin and we had a small mishap with the doors not being closed, lmao. Got to "Dunkin Donuts", I got a pop. We sat at a big table with high chairs! It was me, Chrissy, Lin, Keli, Nicole and Sam. We had some good discussions, it was nice. Chrissy drove me back to her house where my parents were waiting. We went to "The Pit" for dinner. Sooo good!! Stopped at "Jewel" and then came home. Watched TV and looked through the yearbook with mom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Happy Birthday to LJ user MrsTater! Woke up, finished reading "Emily of New Moon", good book. Watched a little TV and then at 10:30, started chores. Vacuumed every single carpeted room in the house and the blinds in our bedrooms while the parents did yard work. Drove mom to the bank. Came back, had lunch. Chrissy called and told me that nothing was going on, lol. Crushed cans with a sledgehammer! Fun stuff! My brother needs them for the Science Club. Mopped the kitchen, folded towels and put my clothes away. Crazy chore day! Got on the PC, listened to Keane, read some fanfiction. Got off, switched my stuff into my stripey purse and watched TV. Had dinner and here I am.

Had a horrible dream that I cut my hair and I really regretted it, ew. It was all flooded by the entrance to our subdivision and flooded all over the suburbs. Yuck. Took us a while to get to school. Had fun talking in the cafeteria and Katie gave me the "Keane" CD!! Did stuff in the book in Creative Writing, fire drill was cancelled cause of rain, so in Government, we took a quiz and went over a test. Did essay workshops in AP. Worked on my unit one AP essay during study and just felt good to write! =) Talked about interviewing in journalism. Talked in lunch. Took a class picture in LWF and translated story in French, where we were all giddy and it was funny. Last period.....lol. After school, spent some time in the library finishing up essay and doing internet things. Listened to "Keane" on the way home, sigh, REALLY GOOD CD!! Came home, had dinner, watched TV, did homework. Got on the computer, uploaded "Keane" into iTunes and fixed president letter. Felt very organized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Short day! Yay! Woke up, did routine, listened to "Keane" on the way to school, lol. Sat in the cafe talking, fun. In French, it was Madame's birthday! So, we did a little work in the book and then there was some food and we got to hear about Ceci's trip to Africa. I cannot wrap my mind around making a decision to go to Africa, of all places. I admire that, I couldn't do it! Fire drill in Creative Writing! I hate those. Handed in letters in Government and looked at a political cartoon. What do you think it was making fun of? Haha. Journal time in LWF. Did mock interviews with the teacher in journalism. Talked in lunch, in Study, got on the internet and surfed. Did one last day of workshops in AP, and they did my essay! I love being workshopped, lmao. After school, spent time fiddling with my LJ layout, writing my LWF paper and just surfing. Was in a good mood. :D Came home, had dinner, watched TV and started the notes of doom. Finally finished and I'm on here.

Also September eleventh. I feel very strongly about the day and what happened. Heard some stuff on the radio on the way to school that was broadcasted at the time it actually happened, scary. Talked in the cafeteria in the morning. First was French where she went over common mistakes we made in our journals. Had Mrs. Power for a sub in Creative Writing, she made me go to the attendance office and we read some story. Went over Krissy's essay in AP, it had a lot of mistakes, haha. Spent my time on the internet in Study. Went to the Peace Pole Re-dedication in the gym cause it was raining, during journalism. Turned into a big anti-Bush thing. God, just shut up. Talked in lunch. Sister Helen no longer hates me, haha. She asked me what my buttons said when I came into LWF, we took notes in there. Did a comparison 9/11 thing-y in Government. After school, did some stuff on the computer and started my Government notes. Came home, had dinner, watched TV, did homework.

Did routine. Talked in the cafeteria, Katie gave me my birthday present! It's only been 3 months! Lol, I luv her. She gave me a nice necklace with the letter "M" as its charm. I like it. :) Went through our 9/11 drawings and did current events in Government. Did stuff in the book and continued to translate "The Necklace" in French. Took notes in LWF, kinda boring. Discussed interviewing tactics in journalism. Talked in lunch and Ashlene &amp;amp; Michelle told me about this girl in their Ceramics class who always talks about pancakes, so they call her "Pancakes"!! It was hysterical. Did a good deed with Nadia in Study. We carried some stuff up to Ms. Cruse's room. Spent my time on the internet. In AP, we were in our writing workshop groups and we went over two essays. In Creative Writing, we went over that boring story that we read yesterday, ew. My two fave classes were boring today, wtf? Spent time on the internet after school. Also worked on my AP paper. Came home, had dinner, watched TV and did homework.

Lol, not for me, not yet! Woke up, watched a little TV, dad left for the wake for the owner of his company. Me and mom went to "Sears" and finally it was our lucky day! Mom found an awesome outfit to wear that night. Cutting it a little close there! I bought a t-shirt and a sweater hoodie. We came home, I played a little 'Mario Kart'. Dad came home and they went to get us lunch. I painted my nails really quick. They came back and I ate, took a shower, painted my toenails, blowdried my hair and got my outfit on in a very short amount of time. Lol. And then we left for the church! It was such a lovely ceremony, really. Beth's brothers were groomsmen and her sister was maid of honor. The bridesmaid dresses weren't so bad, a sort of gold with a cute bow in the front. Then Uncle John walked Beth in, God, it was sad! I was ready to cry and it was only the beginning! Her dress was so beautiful and she a really nice and simple hairdo. She looked like Kiera Knightley!! Lol. It was a full mass, but not so bad. The whole thing was really just adorable, I'm such a sap! After they kissed, they just looked so happy!! =) We blew bubbles at them as they came out instead of throwing rice. Went to Aunt Madonna and Uncle John's afterwards. Talked with Uncle Bernie, (who has a ponytail! Oy.), and my cousin Lauren, and we also observed our least favorite cousins squeezed into dresses, ew. Talked a little with Mrs. Vorderer, who is the new art teacher at school. HA! Funny. Came back home for a while to relax before the reception. They helped me hang my Beatles poster, finally, lol. So, headed for the reception, which was really close to our house! Went through the recieving line of the bridal party when we arrived and we found our table. My aunt on my mom's side showed up too and sat with us. She was invited cause she knew Beth when she was little. So, after a while the bridal party came down this huge staircase to the music of the Blues Brothers! Haha! Beth's maid of honor and Dan's two best men made great toasts and we watched a nice slideshow of Beth &amp;amp; Dan's time together. Then the food was served, it was just delicious! And the cake was great too!! They had the traditional first dances, new couple, dad/daughter and son/mother, very cute. Then people started dancing, me and Mike didn't really, just didn't feel like it. They did the traditional bouquet and garter throwing as well, I went up reluctantly for the bouqet, only because Lauren went up with me. Well, soon after we decided to leave, it was getting late. Came home, read a little and went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up and watched the "Sunday Morning Show" which all centered around things pertaining to 9/11, it was interesting. After watching some other TV, I started my homework. Wrote my Creative Writing poem in a flash, came up with some story ideas for journalism, and revised Krissy's paper for AP. Parents went to the store and I got on the computer. Blasted music and typed my poem. Parents came home and we ate lunch. I got back on and consolidated all my "HP" icons, wow, I have a lot!! And now I'm on here!

Read our vocab things in groups and then watched the next vocab video in AP, fun. After school, spent some time on the internet and printed a few pics and then mom came and got me. Stopped at "KMart" and finally got a dress! Sheesh. Came home, watched TV, dad came home and we decided not to go to "back to school night", haha.

Peer editing of our letters in Government. Went over the quiz and our weekend journals in French. Boring notes and we wrote a creed in LWF. Quiz in Journalism, talked in lunch.

Vocab quiz in AP, oi, forgot half of them when the paper was in front of me. Read something by Chaucer in CW and she told us her mother died (sad) so she won't be her the rest of the week. After school went to the first FNHS meeting of the year, just intro stuff and really yummy 'Nutella' on bread. Mmmm. =) Went in the library afterward for a little bit. Did a lot of thinking on the ride home. Came home and mom &amp; Mike said they thought something...as in a living creature...was in our garage. Ew. I think it was just a bird though, must have flown out. So, had dinner, watched TV, did homework. Finally finished and watched some of "Nova" and then sacked out. I was tired, didn't feel good, and it was a kinda bad day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Much better day! Woke up and felt a mite better. Was in a bad mood that was lifted when I heard the piano in the main hall and hung with my friends in the cafeteria. Sub in CW, we did the questions for the Chaucer passage.

Woke up, did my routine and went to school, lol. Couldn't find da peeps in the morning so I went into the library to try out the new login procedure. Easy as pie as long as ya got half a brain and the connection and stuff is faster now! At 8:30, I got out of there and found the peeps at the window. Government first period, back in groups, it's shaping up to be a rather boring class. In French, we went into groups and we're going to teach the class a verb tense, it was fun. Got to see Chrissy after that, lol. God, it's crowded by her locker! Depressing prayer in LWF, lots of talk about stupid ass "Katrina". Gawd. In Journalism, we finished our paper search and took some notes. Talked with Ash in lunch. Got on the computer in Study. Cleaned out email messages and made a teensy LJ post, ((LJ works at school! YAY!)) Watched a 'vocab video' in AP Language....fun-ny!! I liked it. Last was Creative Writing, we discussed readings from the book. After school, cleaned out more email, did some homework and surfed LJ. Coming out of the library, Miss Geinosky stopped me and thanked me for the thank-you, lol. Stopped in on the art teacher, Mrs. Vorderer, whom I know and explained why I wasn't in her ceramics class ((I was still on her attendance list for some reason)). On the way home, came to the horrible realization that my CD player had no batteries. Damn. Came home, ate dinner, parents went to dad's therapy, did homework and watched TV, parents came back and I got on the net for a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, did my routine, wrote a one-page rant about someone in my Creative Writing journal, (lmao) and went to school. Talked in the cafeteria. On our way to the window someone was playing the piano and it was Ashlene!!! How awesome?? Lol. So, talked about 'point of view' in Creative Writing and actually started writing, lol. Groups in Government and did some newspaper thing. Bo-ring class! Circle discussion on the essays in AP. Went on the internet in study and it was super super hot in there! Thought I was going to die. Homeroom was cool and nice until we had to go to the Little Theater to hear the interim principal talk. I don't know, I felt bad for her, she seemed really nervous, and who wouldn't be in that position? Talked in lunch. Hottest class, LWF, lordy, it's horrible in there!!!! Depressing prayer again, WTF? Did our verb teaching thing in french, wasn't so bad. After school, surfed the net and slogged through history notes. Also got a Shoebox penpal. Teehee. Came home, had dinner, watched some TV, did the rest of my history notes and here I am. Well, that's all for now! Later!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-115638067292291782?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/115638067292291782/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=115638067292291782' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115638067292291782'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115638067292291782'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/08/tues-and-wed_23.html' title='tues and wed'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-115620341307356728</id><published>2006-08-21T16:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-21T16:36:53.130-07:00</updated><title type='text'>sun and mon</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched TV.

Got up at my old time, but it wasn't that bad at all. Halfway to school I realized that I had forgotten my lock...grr. So, got my schedule and planner (!!) when I came in. Met up with the peeps and compared schedules. First period was American Government with a new guy teacher. Then was french, the class got a whole lot smaller. Ms. Haskins is nice, just a little intimidating. Next was AP Language!!! Lin's with me!! Yay. I'm excited in there already, lol. Study was next, my double period, haha! The librarian bought us cookies, lol. After that was my homeroom class, journalism. I'm the only senior, lol. But it was air conditioned! I have lunch with Ashlene!! Thank God. Went to the wrong frikkin room for Living with Loss, thought I had Mr. D again! AHH! But I found my way to the right one, Sister Helen. Last period was Creative Writing, with Lin &amp; Keli!! Another exciting class. :) Mom &amp;amp; Mike picked me up and we talked on the way home. Stopped at Dominick's and picked up my pictures, lot of them ruined, urgh. Watched some TV, ate dinner, got on the net. When I got off, we watched "Spiderman" on TV. LOVE that movie!! :) Sox lost. Weep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Dull day. But Happy Birthday to Mandy! :) Woke up, talked a little and tried to do the confounded crossword from last week's paper, god, it's hard! Mike got up late. Yuck. I hate sleeping late. Past 10:00 is just...weird. Went to "Walgreen's" and got some notebooks for various classes. Came home, ate some lunch and then Alex came to pick Mike up for his birthday party. Got on the computer, listened to some music, printed a few pics for the planner, read some fanfiction. Made out some thank-you's for the counselor and the tuition lady. Helped the parents hang pictures. Tried to do more of the crossword with the help of the thesaurus on the computer. Now I am on here.

Took a shower. Had some lunch and watched TV. Called Chrissy, she said we couldn't sleep over but should do something else, and then we talked for a while. Watched "Lucy", Lin called about plans. Mom came home and I got her to let them come here!! So, I let Chrissy know and we cleaned and cleaned the house until it was nice and presentable, lol. While we were waiting for them to come, my school books came! They look exciting. :) So, Chrissy, Lin &amp; Keli came around 4:30. We talked a while in my room, my parents got us some White Castle and we ate and talked and Chrissy showed me the 'wombat game'! Lmao. Went up in my room, talked about annoying people and old pictures and dreams and then we got to talking about Digimon and looking at all  my old stuff! Poor Lin didn't know what we were talking about! Lol. It was a lot of fun. They left around 9:30 and I just watched TV till bedtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, felt tired, we were up kind of late. Watched TV and organized my purse for tomorrow. I also went through some pens and I even threw some away! Lol. Taped some 'last day of summer' stuff on the camera and then a singing medley thing, which was really fun. Made lunch, ate and put on "Digimon". And now I'm on here! School tomorrow, EW.

Woke up, watched a little "Oprah" and mom started her new job! Me &amp; Mike started planning the "M&amp;amp;M Show" and Lin called. She wanted to do something and I really wish I could have. Crap. Kept getting ready for the show and finally started it around 11:00. Stopped for lunch and Chrissy called to make plans. Finally finished the show a little before 2:00. Mom came home and she told us about her job. She likes it! Mike went to Matt's and I kept watching the show. Got dressed and talked a little with mom. Then the Bookmobile came! Renewed books and got some new ones. Came back home, and finished watching the show. Dad came home, we ate dinner and they went to pick up the van! It's all fixed!! After dinner we went to return the rental car, me and Mike rode in it, it's a nice car. The rental place was full of cute guys!! Crazy. Got an oil change and Mike bought a game at "Game Crazy" and then we went to Walmart. I got myself an awesome "Beatles" poster and a little "Spiderman" notebook, and then I got a little something for Katie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched TV. Then all morning, me and Mike did this thing with a Star Wars board game but we were being the Digidestined playing against the Emporer and we video taped it. It came out really well. It was fun, we used to do it on audio tape so it was cool to see it on video. :) Mom came home and now I'm on here!

Woke up, had some coffee cake, watched a little TV. Then we popped our Disney Vacation DVD that we got in the mail. After that we browsed the CD-rom for it as well. Ordered my school books, {finally}, and ho-ly crap, they are expensive!! Had some lunch and then got on the net. Browsed around for a while. Got off and started organizing my brother's closet. Wowza, what a mess. But we actually had fun going through all the old stuff and he threw a lot away. Took a break at 3:00 and they went back to it. Parents got some pizza and we stopped to eat. Then we finished it! It's all clean and organized and stacked, marked boxes, it's awesome. Then cleared off his dresser, desk and nightstand. Organizing makes me feel good. So, then we were finally finished. Ate a delicious "Dove" bar, the last one, weep. Watched TV all night and then organized old photos and listened to old music until 1:30 in the morning! Lmao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up a little later than usual, lol. Looked at my old photos with mom and dad. Read some of the paper. Then got on the computer. Listened to music, went through the recycle bin and cleaned it out and then organized my favorites. I'm in an organizing mood this weekend! Had some lunch. Then went back into Mike's room and cleaned out the bottom compartments of his desk that were an absolute nightmare! Then mom helped us move his bookcase and bed and it's a whole new room! He's got a lot of space now! Crazy. Looked at some more old photos. Took a shower, had some dinner and now I'm on here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God, I feel like such a shut-in, lmao.

Watched some TV and read. Mom got up soon and we watched "Oprah". Anderson Cooper was on there, he's kinda cute, lol. Then they had a thing on there about the dangers of the net and child predators and crap and mom scared the shit out of me. Lordy. It got really dark and thundery and there was lightening, but no rain, weird. Kept reading and watching TV all morning. Heard the news brief about the terror plot in the UK. Man, craziness. Got dressed and we went out to the photo place. Dropped off my proofs and placed our order. Picked up "Pizza Hut" for lunch and came home. Ate and watched "Lucy". Got on the internet and we watched a little "Digimon". Got off, played some 'Mooshu' and then got on the treadmill. Dad came home and we ate dinner. Parents went to therapy. Watched TV and read my book, Matt came over for a little while. Parents came back with groceries including.....DOVE BARS!! Delicious! So, we each had one, yum!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Had a weird dream that I'll probably post on my LJ. Woke up, read TV and then watched a bunch of TV. Counselor called and told us that the schedule went through and we can buy books! Yay. Had lunch and watched "Digimon" and then "Lucy". Mom went to the store and I looked through old journals. Got on the computer and played Spider. Mom came home and I got on here.

She called back a little while later and we started to work it out over the phone but then decided to come down to the school and do it. So, watched TV and my mom got on the phone with her sister and they talked forever. We finally got her off at like, 11:30.  So, ate some lunch and then got ready to go. Mike stayed at Matt's and we left. Well, the whole school smells like paint, like it's all getting fixed up. AND, Miss Geinosky's office is now in the college center!!! Bizzaro. So, we sat with her, working on my schedule for a good half hour and now it's all settled! I'm glad. Came home, spent a little time fixing a wallpaper I made and then got on the net. Browsed around. Got off, ate dinner, read my book and watched some TV. Watched an episode of "Treasure Hunters" we taped. And at bedtime, I finished reading my Darcy novel! It was good, and now there are 2 more! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;wednesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched some "Oprah" and stuff. Goofed off with mom and Mike. Had lunch and watched our daily "Digimon", lmao. Put on "Lucy" and Matt came over. And now I'm on here. My mom's washing the carpet in here, so I've got earplugs on cause the machine is really loud. Earplugs are very odd things, lol.

Wears off after the first 2 days. Watched TV and we actually played around with our Digimon handheld toys, lmao. Looked through all of our Digi-stuff actually. Had lunch and then watched Digimon, lol, we're on a kick! Mom came home. I got on the internet and worked out the kinks in my layout, it's perfect now! :) Got off and did the treadmill, which I have neglected for two days now. Took a shower. Dad came home, mom straightened my hair and I did my nails. Watched TV and played around. Um, there was some pretty awesome lightening, like you could see the bolts! And then it was rainy as hell all night. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;thursday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up, watched TV and played around. Also read a bit. Had lunch and watched Digimon. Shaved my legs and got dressed and then kept watching Digimon. LOL. Put on "Lucy" and soon mom came home. We headed out. First we dropped Mike off at Alex's and then mom took me to Chrissy's. They were all in the pool when I got there. So, I just sat and watched them...and my ass got soaked sitting on Chrissy's damn pool chairs!! LOL. Katie came! :) Watched them play 'silent Marco Polo', which is honestly better than television, lmao. Finally they got out, lol. We sat around inside watching TV and talking. Ate some dinner and then played 'BS' and 'Screw Your Neighbor', which is my new favorite game!! Mom got me at 8 and now I'm sittin' on here.

Daddy went back to work! Woke up and guess what I got? Stupid ass monthly friend, yuck. Woke up, watched some TV. By 10:00, I was in such pain that I just went into my room, laid on the bed and just dozed and read. OUCH!! Gawd, stupid estrogen, lol. Finally felt a little better around noon, so me and Mike ate some lunch and watched old Digi-episodes. :) Watched "Lucy" and looked some old notebooks and then mom got home. She said she'd been trying to call and we checked the phones and they were all dead! Weird. So, we put new batteries in the answering machine and the phones worked. WTF? Lol. Got on the net, guess what??? SHOEBOX PROJECT UPDATE!!!!! Sooooooooooo happy!!! Saved it and just stared at it for a while, lmao. It's been 8 months!! Lordy. Got off and mom drove us to the bookmobile this time cause it was H-O-T and she wanted to see inside. So, I got a lot of books this time, some good ones too. The peeps in there were talking to us and didn't believe that I was a senior, lol. Came home and read Shoebox until dinner, it was really wonderful. Got off the computer and read one of the lesbian's essays, it wasn't too bad, just a bit slow. Watched "Wife Swap" and "Treasure Hunters".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up and, cripes, don't ask. Watched TV and mom left for work. After "Oprah", me and Mike started recording our soundtrack, it sounds great now that we bought quality tapes! Lol. Stopped for lunch and Digimon. Dad came home early. Put on "Lucy" and worked on my first journal for my author. It wasn't that bad, I really stretched it, lol. Well, they all went to therapy with dad so I'm stuck here on the net. :) Later Days!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-115446093361001992?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/115446093361001992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=115446093361001992' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115446093361001992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115446093361001992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/08/mon-and-tues.html' title='mon and tues'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-115427397913715602</id><published>2006-07-30T08:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-30T08:39:39.156-07:00</updated><title type='text'>fri, sat, sun</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Dad's last weekday at school, sad. Woke up, watched some TV, took a shower. Went to the bank and got some lunch out. Came home, ate and chatted about when dad lived in Oregon, very cool. Mom came home and they went off to physical therapy. Got on the internet and had a wonderful post from 'LadyJaida', she said another Shoebox update is coming soon!!!! :) Got off, read some Shoebox, got on the treadmill. Mom &amp; dad came home and brought pizza with them! We ate and watched old Digimon reruns, FUN! :) Watched TV all night and then read a bit too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Fun day! Woke up, read a bit and ended up finishing "Searching for Dragons" AND "bird by bird"! Had a little breakfast, watched Mikey on the "Goblet of Fire" computer game, read, played around with the typewriter. Matt came over, home from camping. Went to "Dominick's" with mom and saw Blake, lol. ;) Came home, we were planning on going to see my cousin but every time we tried to call, the phone was busy! It was like, busy all day! So, we baked some stuff and then Chrissy called and invited me to swim!!! :) So, went over there. Just me, Chrissy &amp;amp; Lin again, lol. Talked for a bit and then changed and went swimming! Played a lot of ABC volleyball, which got much much more interesting, lmao! At about 6 we got out to watch "Titanic". Wow! What a great movie!! We only watched the first half but I really really liked it. :) So, my fam came to get me at about 9. Came home, ate a little something and just hung around all night. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Well, yesterday I was supposed to post Friday and Saturday but I was out late so I didn't have time when I got home. So, I have to post three days today. Blah. Lol, oh well. Nothing much has happened yet today, it's pretty early still. Woke up and I'm sore from volleyball again! Lmao. Had a weird dream that I was at my grama's house and her basement was a palace, {looked like the Titanic, lmao}, and grama was dressed like a rich person and she knew movie stars and then I had to go and I told her that I was going to make a TV appearance with Humphrey Bogart {HUH???} but instead I went to do a skit with Mike and Miss Wille, and in between it there was a commercial for "Brokeback" and my parents were like, "I hate that movie!", and I got mad. ODD dream, wow. Well, all I know of that we might do today is try to go see my cousin, if her phone isn't off the hook, sheesh.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-115427397913715602?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/115427397913715602/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=115427397913715602' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115427397913715602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115427397913715602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/07/fri-sat-sun.html' title='fri, sat, sun'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9352034.post-115402766508755488</id><published>2006-07-27T12:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-27T12:14:25.123-07:00</updated><title type='text'>wed and thurs</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;mood:&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;note:&lt;/strong&gt; My sole commenter is back from Mexico!

Had lunch,&lt;br /&gt;called the school and asked when we're getting our schedules. They said this week, thank God,&lt;br /&gt;we have to order our books! Sheesh. I was just finishing my essay, it's the shortest one yet&lt;br /&gt;and I really despise it. It's horrible and terrible and awful and I just hate it. Yuck. Gonna&lt;br /&gt;go read some fanfiction now.

Browsed around. Got off and me and mom went out. First to "Menard's". Then to "Dominick's" where Blake the bagboy bagged our groceries, sigh. Picked up dinner, came home and ate. Read a bit, watched TV and some of the Sox game. Got really stormy, it was nice. Got on the computer and wrote up some of my detective novel details. Sox lost, crap! Watched TV til bedtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sunday:&lt;/strong&gt; Happy Birthday to Daniel Radcliffe!! :) Woke up, watched TV, read some of the paper, shaved my legs and went out with mom. First we went to "SuperCuts" cause she wanted to get a haircut, it's much better now! Came home and took the boys' orders and then went out to get some lunch.

It was stormy and the power kept like, half going out, lol. Weird. Dad finally got a call he had been waiting for and we got dressed. Had lunch and then went out to the mall. First went to "Office Depot" where we bought some looseleaf paper. Then to "Barnes &amp; Noble" where me and Mike stayed for a looooooong time, lol. Ended up buying "Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen, "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde and a Lisa Simpson bookmark, lmao. Stopped at Blockbuster and got "Cinderella Man", "Ray" and "Rear Window". Came home and got on the net. Afterwards, got on the treadmill and then played Sega with Mike. Had dinner and watched various TV. The night, was fun! Played around on the typewriter a bit, played "Aladdin" on Sega, listened to the "Aladdin" soundtrack and the "Anastasia" soundtrack too! Fried my eyeballs playing 'Casino Night' on Sonic 2 and then watched TV with the fam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;friday:&lt;/strong&gt; Had to wake up pretty early and we left before mom did!! Drove dad to his physical therapy, and Taylor was on the TV there. Awesome. :) He had a different girl this time and he went on an exercise bike. I swallowed a tic-tac{LOL} and read my book. Stopped at "Walgreen's" on the way home. Came home, thumbed through a catalog that we got in the mail, very fun. :) Started "Star Wars;Episode III: Revenge of the Sith", had lunch and an insurance dude came to check out the van. Did some typewriter stuff and then played some games on the old computer, what a dinosaur! It shut down on me and I felt at home, lmao. Now I'm on here!

Got on the net and we discovered that the phone upstairs was ruining the connection! So we unplugged it and it's super fast. Had some lunch, played some Spider solitaire. Got off, sat around. Then we decided to go in the basement. Moved the futon and vacuumed up some bugs and then tackled my Barbie dolls! Sooooooo many, lmao. We put them all into a big plastic tub. It was fun looking through them all. :) Had dinner, watched "Seinfeld" and a really good story on "Dateline". Then just sat around goofing off and playing 'Password' until bedtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;monday:&lt;/strong&gt; Had a weird dream last night. There was this lady who turned dust into corn and we got really fast DSL in the basement and there was this little girl with cerebal palsey. Weird! Woke up, watched TV and read "The Big Over Easy". I read a lot of it! And I am slowly falling in love with the main detective guy. Lol. Had lunch, watched "Lucy" and now I am on here. I miss Chrissy and Lin already! How pathetic am I? Lol.

Lol. Woke up, watched TV, read a lot of "bird by bird" and wrote a small piece on Brokeback that I may post on my LJ. Had lunch, watched Mike on Dreamcast, typed one of my journals for "bird by bird". Got on the net and browsed around, slowly getting on a Brokeback buzz, lmao. :) Got off, did the treadmill.

Read and watched TV for the rest of the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;saturday:&lt;/strong&gt; Fab day! :) Woke up, watched TV and read a bit. Called Chrissy and started making plans. Took a shower and ate lunch. Chrissy called again and we made plans to swimmmm!! So, got ready, stopped at "Walgreen's" for candy, lol. Got to Chrissy's and we drove to pick up Lin and the leather seats in her daddy's car were sooooo hot that I had to sit on newspaper! Lmao. So, picked Lin up, went back to Chrissy's and got in the pool! Really nice and shady. :) Played a lot of alphabet volleyball which is really quite kickass. Chrissy's mom even played! Got out a bit for snacks and then went back in! Played more volleyball and Chrissy's friends the rafts helped her out, lmao!! It was soooooooooo fun! We couldn't get past A and B!!! Lordy. So, floated for a bit and then got out. Her mom made some yummy hamburgers and stuff on the grill and we ate and then talked and played around with ring tones.

Did the treadmill, atched TV, ate dinner. Got back on the PC and read a lot of fanfiction. I got the results of my AP test! I got a 3, which apparently means I am 'qualified', whatever, lol. Helped mom make brownies, read, watched "Treasure Hunters". Boring day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt; AWESOME DAY!! Woke up, it was rainy. Watched TV. Around 10:00, Chrissy called me and said they were hanging out and she invited me along! So, I showered really quick and they came to get me! We blasted music on LaGrange while going to La Grange, lmao. It was POURING RAIN, like whoa, lol. Went to "Noodles &amp;amp; Company" and they ate. Got soaked going back to the car, lmao. Went to the mall, wandered, looked for sandals, browsed "Hot Topic". Then....Chrissy mentioned that her mom had rented "BrokebackMountain"......AHHHHHHHHH! Yea, I've been waiting close to 8 months now to see that effing movie! So, we drove to her house, made popcorn and watched it!!! Ach, it was soooo sad! But Jake Gyllenhaal was sooooo sexy. Omigod. It was lovely. Such a sad story, I cried at the end. "Jack, I swear"....SOOOOO sad! Lol. So, then I had to go home for dinner so they all drove me home. :) I had a lot of fun! We need to do that more often!!! Heehee. So, mom came home with dinner, we ate and watched TV and now I am on here. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YAY FOR BROKEBACK!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9352034-115266438890929622?l=marauderingmagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/feeds/115266438890929622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9352034&amp;postID=115266438890929622' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115266438890929622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9352034/posts/default/115266438890929622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marauderingmagic.blogspot.com/2006/07/mon-and-tues.html' title='mon and tues'/><author><name>Mary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03250923992644675218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kNoJ51ivK1I/TFdiyTiao7I/AAAAAAAAHeI/NYp_uVsSMec/S220/Zi6_0751.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
