That’s our graduation song. I kid you not. And nobody remembers getting to vote on it! When they started playing it at practice today, I thought it was the Jeopardy theme song at first. Everyone was rolling their eyes, saying it was uber cheesy.
Finally got our yearbooks today! Let me say now, I hate people that sign yearbooks with stuff like, HAGS. For people I don’t like, I at least sign out, Have A Great Summer. And isn’t “a” not supposed to be capitalized in things like that?
Graduation practice was brutal. Standing out in the sun, and practicing walking, standing, and sitting. Fun. Plus I had stupid person I’ve known for years behind me, and he was being obnoxious. Then we also had Honor Guard practice at the warmest time of the day. Nearly burned the skin of the back of my legs when I backed into my chair. Felt sorry for the guys that have to set up the stage on the lawn. Oh excuse me, the “Field of Dreams”.
Tomorrow is it. Yikes. So many of my friends I won’t get to see nearly every day, maybe not ever again. Tried to get screen names from as many as possible so I can still keep in touch with them.
Nothing from Mod yet. I had to modify something the day after I submitted, so it might take an extra day.
We’re leaving on vacation Sunday, and my grandma is coming Friday for graduation. I probably won’t be able to get online at home until next Mondayish. If I have to, I’ll reply to comments on Mod from the laptop we’re bringing.
Maybe I’ll get some Cold Comforts sequel, or other story writing done while I’m gone. I seem to have better motivation when I’m gone lately. Wrote a good part of the story over spring break.
HAGS! *gags*
Pretty much done with the great load of projects and stuff I had!! Thanks to the craptastic band concert (which no one wants to hear) I had to finish my constellation project today. Which I have no idea if I did right.
And I’m one step closer to being done forever with the career project tomorrow! Finished the paper, citations and all. Next I just have the display, and speech. Great. I hate public speaking. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I don’t mind writing my speechs, just actually saying them. Blech.
Once again, the weekly Wednesday sleep whining. I can never fall asleep when I want to on Wednesdays. Probably because I get to sleep in, and then I’m not as tired. I don’t know.
After school gets out, we’re going on vacation to southern part of the state. For some reason I suggested looking at one of the local state colleges there. I have no idea why. I have no intention of going there, it has a kinda crappy psychology program, and I’ve never even seen the place. Plus I really want to go to the University of Washington, which I haven’t told my parents, and I have no idea if they know. Really, I don’t know why I suggested it.
And now finishing up with writing complaining. I haven’t written anything for probably a week. Cold Comforts and its sequel are kind of on short-term hold while I play around with smaller story ideas. And even those are getting ignored. Hopefully I can get into a better focus on building the sets I need, and pictures taken for CC over the summer. In June/July it will be a year since the last story I uploaded. Yikes!
I’m alive! I kept meaning to update, and then I never did. Shame on me I know. On to the usual whining:
-Point 1:Finishing up career project. Got to wander around grocery store with a notepad today, and write down prices like an idiot. Now everything I plan to do in the future seems more realistic, like it is going to happen, than it used to. But I’ll be glad once this thing is gone for good. Let’s hope I don’t have to do a presentation. *hyperventilates*
-Point 2: I finished Cold Comforts! Don’t know if I said that yet, but anyways, I did. Writing is done! Unless I want/need to add a scene or two. And I started writing up the sequel, plus took first 2 pictures! Hope to get out first chapter in a month and 1/2- 2 months.
-Point 3: I’ve been building some university lots in hope of getting them put on Mod eventually. Feeling kind of annoyed, and uninspired with those at the moment. So much work, and effort. Plus I’m getting brain farts, and I want to devote my time to more important things like Cold Comforts.
-Point 4: Finally got my hair cut.
-Point 5: Dreading tonight, cuz I know I won’t be able to sleep. Sunday nights always get me for some reason. I just feel like I’m not tired, and stay up like an hour or so later than I should. Plus I have more testing tomorrow, and I want to get a good night’s rest, even though I don’t test until like 12:30.
-Point 6: My Mother’s Day? Don’t ask.
Wow, it’s been a while! About the title, I now have a new obsession. I’ve looked at University of Washington stuff everyday for the past (at least) 4 days. During school I kept randomly saying “Go Huskies!” and annoying my friends.
And this will be a whining entry. This was a super long day, my stupid PE teacher decided we should all run the mile today. Guys don’t know how lucky they are. We’re the ones that have to put up with all sorts of crap! What do they have to suffer? Running the mile with period cramps made it feel like I had an angry cat trying to claw it’s way out of my stomach. Right now I’m having a complain-fest with my best friend about things we hate about periods.
Her: i hate it when the cookie fails you
Me: I hate wearing dense cookies
Her: i have on a thick cookie
Her: it annoys the crap out of me
BTW we call pads cookies. Don’t ask. Secret code. On the bright side of the moon, the band theme park trip is tomorrow. Whoot! Although I’m not a roller coaster person, it’s still fun. Cotton Candy= Love
And I’m almost done writing Cold Comforts. The end seems pretty crappid to me, but I honestly don’t care right now.
Hello silly people! Except no one reads this. Whatevs. I’m wondering how long it will be before I stop updating this, and utterly forget about it, as seems to happen to all my blogs…
In honor of Earth Day, and the projects I just spent 3 hours helping my friends finish, new theme! It’s Earth-a-delic. I guess there’s a way for me to utterly customize the layout, but I’m too lazy to do that.
Not much else to do this weekend. I suppose I should get my hair cut soon. It’s gotten really long, and kind of annoying because of that. It just hangs there kind of like a dead animal. Well, maybe not a dead animal. But it’s just there, and I can’t really do anything with it. When it’s in a pony it looks sad and limp.
And sims. I haven’t worked on Cold Comforts in like 3 days, and I haven’t really played in a while either. My Peggy subscription ended on the 20th, and on the 18th I went and downloaded all things Peggy I wanted. Problem is, now I have to go and unzip all those files. Ug. How many of the things in there I already have I don’t know. Just checked, and it’s 57.1 MB. Probably 100ish files. Like I’m ever going to get through finishing all that. Bleh. Suppose I should get started on it at least.
Continuation of last post finally up.
More updates on sim things:
-I didn’t make it to the next round of HNTM. My entry had to be done in advance since I was gone on break, and looking back on it, is pretty crappy compared to others. It’s empty, and doesn’t show much effort. But I love working with Emma, and I’m going to try to do Eliminees Entries.
-I decided to finish all the writing for Cold Comforts before starting the photos stage, and I’m nearing the end. I have a post on the Hangout about the one road block I have right now, but the writing will hopefully be this time next week. Whoot!
Just when I was starting to think school work was receding, and I was finally having time for the Hangout and etc. when I get pelted again. Tomorrow I know I’m not going to get around to going online. And now I have this Career Project thing that’s definetly going to take some time. Grrrr.
I’m bad at this, I know. I was mid-way through an entry yesterday, when I was abducted by my mom, but I’m going to finish today! Even if it’s only like 2 sentences long. Which that just was.
This will be my last entry for a week, cuz I’m officially off for Spring Break! Whoot! And lucky me gets to be stuck in a car for hours, and then gets to look at a bunch of rocks. Oh joy! My friends are going to Hawaii and Disneyland, lucky ducks!
No. I will not be negative, I will not be negative, I will not be negative.
This week has been busy. I had a paper due today, and a school thing I was at for the longest time last night. Plus attempting to get some work on Cold Comforts in, and getting my HNTM Round 1 entry in, because the kind and uber awesome Allie let me in on it so I would be able to stay in the competition. But that was fun. I also was going to enter the TBC Challenge, but I had a total brainfart on the cheerleading outfit, and never got it in. So now I have 2 jerseys for Canton on my computer.
And now I have to pack. Gag. And update my iPod to entertain myself with, and teach my mom how to use her new iPod. Fun, fun, fun!
The title? I’ll explain when I’m back, if I survive the car.
