Shriek Elegance

Oooookaaaaay. It’s been a very long day.

The history exam was alright- the multiple choice was a little tricky, but I think I nailed the written. After that, I got to wait in a nice long line at the office to pick up my report card. Unfortunately, they hadn’t updated their hard copies of library books, and they said I still owed the three that I returned yesterday. So, I had to go to the library and get them to sign a thing saying I was all clear. Then I got to go back to the office. Hurray.

Then? Then I made lunch, did some laundry, and played Chrono Trigger. :)

We left around four or so, got caught up in bridge traffic and ended up getting to the church around five-ish. Got my robe, got my hat, walked around to find people, found Andrew and the gang (mainly ’cause Andrew’s so tall and easy to pick out in a crowd). I got people to sign the inside of my hat. Not many. Just Andrew, Nick, Steph, Craig, Shay and Tyler. -shrug- Went outside and took pictures with the family after that. By the time we went back in, it was time to start lining up, so we did that for a very long time… for it would appear that, even after twelve years of education, we are still retarded at making straight, elementary lines.

Went into the ’sanctuary’ and sat. They had some speeches from some official people and stuff, Mr. Bradley read us a kids’ book and cried a little, and then the stage walking started. I was in the first group. This pretty much lasted for like three hours. Luckily, Tyler came over and sat by me, so I had someone to talk to. And someone to fan me when I got tired :P (those bastard robes are hot, damnit). Mendez took Monty’s hat across the stage and collected his papers. There was a standing ovation for this for quite a long time. I think he gave it all to Monty’s parents after walking off the stage. They handed out some more awards at the end and then Jessica Briker gave her valedictorian speech and whatnot. Then it ended.

We went to Red Robin afterward. I am very full. I got a card from Mum and Dad. There was a little cut out of a laptop in it.

That’s my day in a nutshell.

I work in 13 hours.

I’m in a fabulous mood.

Parts of the multiple choice on the French exam were bogus, but the written was fairly easy. One more exam to go!

I’ve never gone out of my way to download an AFI song until “Miss Murder”. I quite like it. Not sure why. I just do. And I totally almost wrote something called “Miss Murder” two years ago. Fate? Just maybe.

I should probably be studying for History. But y’know what? I just don’t feel like it.

>>>>>ATTN: FRIENDS<<<<<

Birthday will be Wednesday, July 5th, my place. It will start at 1pm just so we have some group time since it will be a very rare event that we will all have the same day off any time in the near future. I’ll probably be kicking you out around 11pm ’cause I have to work Thursday morning. Even if I haven’t said boo to you about it, if you read this journal and feel like coming over in all your spontaneity and glory, feel free to just stop by for the hell of it. Everyone who reads this knows where I live and just ’cause I didn’t personally invite you doesn’t mean I don’t want you here. Mkay, folks? Pace.

[11:01pm]

I never knew the reason why I never chose to take singing lessons was so friggin’ pertinent. It’s not like my singing would’ve went anywhere, anyway.

It’s 41 bloody degrees outside (~103°F for any American readers). Luckily, Dad has agreed to drive me to school for my Chem exam so I don’t have to walk.

Going back to yesterday- went to the History tutorial (I walked T_T). ‘Twas fairly good. Got Stacey to sign my yearbook. He made another comment about my height.

Other than that, I pretty much spent the day studying. At around 9 or so, Nick, Ty and me got Teamspeak up and running and did Chem trivia for a couple hours. I think I killed the least amount of kittens. =D (if you got the question wrong, you killed a kitten)

And uh… yep. Very glad that the Chem exam is first. ‘Twill be very nice to get it out of the way.

[4:07pm]

Chem exam wasn’t too bad. I’M FREE.

Time to study for History. And kind of French.

[8:44pm]

I adore this picture.

[11:08pm]

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there’s something about us I want to say
Cause there’s something between us anyway

I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I’ll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

I don't think these allergy injections have helped. At all.

[2:57pm]

I have developed a completely new appreciation for Daft Punk's Discovery album. I watched the rest of the Interstella 5555 videos (aside from the first four that had been aired on the Toonami Reactor project back in the day when it still existed). <3

[8:27pm]

I need a reason to wear my hat. Somebody give me one?

Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
The kind of feeling I've waited so long

Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long

The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true

Why don't you play the game?
Why don't you play the game?

/dance

Pretty sure I could listen to this song for hours.

[9:59pm]

Life really was a lot nicer when he was camping with Lee. Times a googleplex. 

Zomg.

So we did the whole wiring the hill thing again today. Of course, Dad had already done it, but he did it upside down. So we had to flip it. My body's tired. I'm going to be feeling the pain tomorrow.

I watched Appleseed after all that was done. Purty.

And that was pretty much my day. Though I s'pose I should eat dinner soon. Or find out if we're eating dinner soon. That'd be swell.

[10:43pm]

Watched Underworld Evolution. Kate Beckinsale is too pretty for humanity.

I can't breathe very well. This is annoying.

The end.

All in all, I'd have to say that studying for Chemistry is going fairly well. I'm averaging about 89-90% on these multiple choice questions, which is good. Hopefully I can do this again for the real provincial.

I'm kind of avoiding studying for History because it's so… boring to study.

Last day of work for a while today. :)

The boys just left. Oh, the rapture.

[11:10pm]

I love how it takes the confirmation of human to human avian flu transfer for first world countries to bat an eye at third world countries. 

Assholes. 

I don't feel that it's very fair to me that I get yelled at when I'm not studying every waking moment of the day. Forgive me for enjoying my first day of break.

[11:23pm]

Auditing is a pain in the ass. Luckily, inventory only happens once a year.

We rented Underworld 2 for the weekend.

That's pretty much all that happened today.

[11:43pm]

No matter how much he denies it, he doesn't know how to handle stress. He doesn't know how to relax. He doesn't know how to accept views different from his own. I know he's stressed. I know. But it doesn't give him any right to take it out on me. Or Mom. Or whoever else. I don't know how many times he's said, to my face, that I'm an adult and I need to be able to make "adult" decisions. Really? Is that why I'm scolded for staying up past 11:30? Forgive me for feeling that waking up at nine in the morning is a perfectly acceptable practice. Forgive me for taking a moment to enjoy some free time. The latest I've stayed up for the past couple of months is one in the morning. Oh, the horror. I mean, Jesus Christ.

I feel like I'm fucking chained to a wall. Words cannot express my discontent with the relationship I currently hold with my father.

Oh so sorry for my transgressions against your inflated ego. Perhaps you should spoonfeed me like you used to and declare afternoon naptime. I could learn how to tie my shoes and write my name.

Sorry?

Sorry.

I don't have to feel sorry, you suppressive asshole.

Dad disconnected the Internet 'cause he's an idiot. So I'm writing this out on notepad 'cause I have nothing better to do and I really don't feel like studying.

I managed to get 81% on my Chem final. Which I'm perfectly fine with. Mme Tremblay ended up not counting the practice provincial we did in class for marks, so that's good. The History exam wasn't too bad. I got 80% on the multiple choice (-sheds a tear-). Hopefully I made up for it with the written part. Hopefully.

I have the weekend plus Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off. This is fabulous news. Unfortunately, I have to work 130-915 on the 30th and 1-915 on the first. Oh well.

Speaking of work- the inventory people are LAME. God. They're like the persistent, ungrateful customers that just WON'T GO AWAY. I didn't even finish organizing the seeds because customers (which is okay, that's normal) and they (not okay, they're fucking helpless) needed help. Mrrrr. Whatever. Brianne and I had a lovely bitchfest over it. Which brings me to my next point: I <3 working with her.

Funny how, even though today was the last day of classes and there is no more homework to be had, I still feel just as stressed as before. I'd like to blame provincials, but I don't think they have that kind of capability. Maybe.

Sarika and I jousted after History. We had to take desks from Gronowski's room to the Ian Snow gym for provincials. She took a desk, I took the chair. Of course, her jousting "sticks" (LANCE! =D) were better than mine, but mine were tricksy and went in different directions. I say it was a draw.

Today was my last day on the bus with my bus buddy :( I HEART YOU BUS BUDDY. WE SHOULD BOUNCE ON BUSSES AGAIN SOMETIME.

Sabrina made a dress for Jon. He came to school wearing it at lunch. From the back, he actually looked like a girl. Aside from the hairy legs.

The little grad mural thing that we all sign at the end of the year was really lame. Even class of '05 got a prettier one than ours, and theirs was pretty skimped on too. Weeeellfaaaaaare.

Pet peeve? Gloating.

I'm only typing 'cause I have nothing better to do. At all. I have a sad existence. The Internet's taken away from me and I'm helpless. I s'pose I could dust off ye olde PS2 and pop a game in, but I'm not in the mood. Not really in the mood to read, either. I sure am in the mood to DOWNLOAD SOME ANIME. But, y'know. Can't do that now, can I?

I s'pose I could empty out my backpack and binder and such. Or organize my notes. Or my general computer area. But I'm too lazy to move.

I really do quite enjoy One X. It's a pretty fabulous CD.

I've had the urge to write a story lately. Can't really think of a plot or storyline or anything, though.

Mum's feeling a little better today. She still feels dejected, though. She bought Dad a doughnut and coffee to apologize for the car.

I reeeaaally hate the people who drive up our street at ungodly speeds with their bass pounding in the middle of the night. YOU'RE NOT COOL.

My allergies have been apeshit today. I've sneezed too many times to count and my nose is so itchy it's sore from me smushing it. My arm is kind of freaking out, too. It's kind of hard to explain. It's really painfully sensitive, but the skin is still numb. And it still hurts underneath. It doesn't really make sense, but that's how it is. I can't make any sudden movements with it or else it hurts. It's pretty retarded.

It just occurred to me why my allergies are so bad. I spent four hours organizing seeds. Can't believe I didn't think of that before.

Well, something tells me that Dad won't be coming down to reconnect the 'net any time soon. I s'pose I might as well go to bed. Typing to myself is a tad boring.

To end on a fabulous note: tomorrow is pay day. =D

My day was dandy until I got home. As soon as I walked into the kitchen I could tell that Mom had been crying. She went to the doc's for her foot checkup and a new neuroma has developed next to the one they took out; they can't take the new one out for another year. Then, 'cause she was preoccupied with that, she backed into a car in a parking lot. I can't make her feel better and it's making me feel awful.

Other than that, the chem test was alright. He let us leave once we were finished. I sat in the MP room with Ty, Adam, Andrew and Scott. Scott wrote a poem. One of the lines is "lol stop, you're giving me a bonar." Yep.

I don't have a locker anymore, so I have to lug my History and French books around in my backpack.

We almost finished The Last Samurai in Japanese. Almost.

The bus was really empty.

I have to go to the music awards tonight.

That's it.

[9:35pm]

Quartet ended up singing For the Beauty of the Earth. I got an award for Jazz Choir and Quartet.

Yep.

[10:50pm]

I just want to hug her for a very long time.

I think I'll take her to dinner this weekend. Or at least make a nice dinner for her. 

So I downloaded the new Three Days Grace CD and burned it this morning. Turns out, it's got some of those retarded files where once the song ends, it goes back to the middle of it and starts playing again. Yeah. That's really goddamn annoying. So, I need to get a new torrent. Aside from that mishap, the CD's pretty good.

In other news, I learned how to make new tags at work. Granted, the RASCALs don't like me, but I'm sure we can work around that. I got to have a phone for the first time today. Two, actually. I got Gina's when she went on break. Two phones and a utility pouch on your belt really weigh it down. My ass was the only thing keeping that poor belt up.

Chemistry final tomorrow. I don't think I'll do too too horribly…

I'm actually too tired to update. Too bad.
