Well, it's been like two months...

since I've last posted a blog.

Wow. That seems like forever.

I was supposed to go to the first wrestling meet tonight to score, but I can't. I have a cold/virus thing. I'm not going because I don't want to get even more sick and then not make it to Saturday's meet at Tates Creek.

In other news, I'm going to pass my classes this semester. I was so worried that I wasn't going to be able to pass my English class, but I will. (: Hopefully Mrs. Merritt will post all my make up grades in the computer soon that way my Dad will get off my back about things not being turned in. I actually don't have as much out as I thought I did in my other classes. I'm doing pretty well considering everything I've gone through these past few months. I can finally breathe! :D

I've been listening to Britney Spears --haha. I'm pretty much in love with her latest album. It's crazy to think about. Dude, I was one of those little kids who loved Britney --I have her first three albums. Crazy, huh?

TAYLOR'S ALBUM WENT PLATINUM IN JUST THREE WEEKS! That's like the coolest thing in the world. It's crazy how two years ago no one knew of her and now she's like the biggest thing in country music. <3

I think I'm gonna go make me some dinner now. I'm really wanting tacos, but I don't have anything to make it with. ): I guess I'll settle for mac and cheese, or a pepperoni pita pocket. Decisions, decisions --haha.

keviiiiiiiiiiiiin jonas,

is like my best friend.

just kidding.

but he sure can sing and play guitar like a beast. i wish i could be his best friend. hahahhahaha. of course, i'm not saying joe's not my favorite still -because he is- but if i had to pick between kevin and nick, i'd choose kevin in a heartbeat. just saying...

anyways, off of the jonas subject.

school was good. i wasn't in it very much today though. c[:

i went to gray's construction and met some pretty cool people. we sat and talked about graphics, construction and stuff like that. i might get to shadow the graphic artist for gray's! :D i'm pretty stoaked.

after that, we went to mcdonald's. there, i figured out that one of the girls who went on the trip is a mentor in my writing 101 class. so, that's pretty cool. at mcdonald's we watched fox news and on there they showed a massive car chase. he was driving for a good 15 minutes? it was the highlight of my day, most likely. XD

then, we went back to school. i stayed up in the guidence office with this senior and mr. d's student teacher person. we talked for an hour. i went to forth block for like five minutes and then i went to a pep rally.

hahahahahaha -no one was listening.

our marching band is really good though.

ah, well i better go take a shower and go to bed.
real school is tomorrow; yuck.

i wish all my days at school were like today.
that would be sweet.

music.

what i need is music.

at the moment, music isn't helping me the way it should be helping me. and, i need it to help me more than anything right now. this isn't the kind of help a friend or a family member could help me deal with; it's more of helping myself heal alone. music helps me heal when i can't really reveal what i'm feeling to someone. a million doctors, psychologists, and therapists could talk to me, but that wouldn't solve what i need.

what i need is music.

though i could go through my playlists on itunes or shuffle the songs on my ipod but nothing seems to help. maybe coping with something through music just isn't helping anymore. but, that seems a little unreal. there are how many songs in the world? you would think that one song in the world would help me on my behalf; but, as of right now, it doesn't look that way.

what i need is music, but somehow i know that it isn't all i need.

it's been a while, eh?

who knew that someone's birthday, school work, sleeping and eating could take up so much of your time? let's start from friday. joe's birthday! and no, i won't let you convince me i'm crazy because i made a birthday cake for a boy who i don't even know or haven't even met and sang happy birthday at the top of my lungs 10 different times to him. i know he heard me one of those times. ;D saturday i got up and ate; that's pretty normal. i went to staples and finished getting my school crap. i got 5 packs of notebook paper for 50 cents. YES! haha. after that, i went to kroger with my mother. she bought me starbucks and milk. then we went to another kroger (ahahahahahaha) because my mom forgot to get diet cokes at the last one. uhm, then i went home. after that, i didn't really do much. my mother made dinner, i ate -wow, what a shocker. XD i went to kroger -you should know, that i really do live there. i actually have a bed and room in the back of the store. somedays, i sleep there. it's pretty sweet. XD i came home from the store and played jackpot with my brother friends in the middle of the road. that was a lot of fun. especially when cars honk at you because they're trying to drive and their wanting you to move. yeah, that's always fun. today (sunday), i got up and played my playstation 2. the game: maternational. it's like a game from the movie cars. duuuuuude, i dominate. XD then, i walked up to kroger (i told you, i live there). i came home, did homework and fell asleep watching ratatouille. i didn't even get to the part where he finds the resturant (that's like the start of the movie, too). uh, i woke up (well, i was shaken up). i went to church then i went to applebee's. i came home, watch law and order: svu and now i'm blogging (and probably boring you). whatever -no one made you read this. well, i need sleep. i have to wake up early for school. i have stupid b-day tomorrow. the only good thing about that is that i get to eat lunch first. all my hard classes are on b-day. yuck. well, who said school was easy? no one did. goodnight. :D

back to school.

well, it's that time of year again. the time when you're anxious about the classes you're going to get and it's school supply shopping to do on the weekend instead of chilling out (and, i hate school supply shopping, let me tell you). but yes, school is here once again.

it just wasn't a new year, for me. it was a new beginning; a fresh start. high school, here i come.

at first, i was scared as hell. camp dunbar came and went and it still didn't ease my fear. but, i got all the classes that i wanted. (: so that was a plus! anyways, first day of school and what do i do? i get on the wrong bus. XD seriously, abbey and i got on lafayette's bus and made it to the second bus stop before the driver told us it was that high school's bus. so, we got off and chilled with kenneth at his stop. before you know it, our bus comes around and the butterflies start up again. once i'm inside the building, i'm pretty much chill. whatever fear i was having, it went away. that was good.

so, homeroom is pretty boring. the usual 'pass out papers', 'get these signed' type thing happened. then to block one -though, i still call it first hour (really, it's not an hour though). i have health. ew. everyone hates health. but, it's something you have to take, so why not make the most of it, eh? second block is advanced citizenship. mr. royster is a pretty chill person. i think i'm gonna like his class a lot. (: third block is french-1. my teacher is pretty cool -though, she thinks she's funny when she's not. i hate teachers like that, but i think i'll get used to it. french is such a pretty language though. i'm really excited for that class! and i get to each lunch then too. ahaha -third lunch, baby! <3>so, then i went home (on the right bus, this time). XD

i think this year is gonna be pretty chill! i'm happy. (:
tomorrow i have:
homeroom.
first block: advanced physical science.
second block: pld/write 101
third block: FIRST LUNCH and advanced english
fourth block: algebra.
it seems, my b-day is harder than my a-day. oh well. c[:

goodniiiiiiiiiight. i'm going to bed. i need to get up at 6:15. ew. XD

love, amy. ♥

australia, new zealand, and fiji -OH MY!

evidently, i'm invited to "travel" and "study" australia, new zealand and fiji in the summer of 2009. i'm somehow eligible for this program called people to people which is an education exploration program founded by one of our former presidents. anyways, this is supposed to be a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" and i really really really really reallllllllllllllllly, wanna go. c[: i get to go and travel these three places for 22 days while earing high school or college credit. it's pretty cool. XD so, if i do get to go (which i'm hoping like no other that i do) i get to do all of these insane things that i could only dream about. wow -i'm pretty stoaked.

now, i'm really in the mood to watch a movie. only thing is: i really don't feel like sitting on my lazy ass for two hours in front of a tv when i could be running around outside (though, i'm too lazy to even do that). XD whatevsss. i'll think of something productive to do....eventually. (:

peace, love and pancakes. ♥

a beautiful mind.

last night i watched this movie with my mother called, a beautiful mind. it's about this guy who is brilliant, but has a mental illness. it's based off a true story. i'm in love with this movie; it's so moving and the fact that it's real makes it so intense. the cast is amazing; i could name a lot of the actors and actresses, or i've recongized them before in other films i've seen. because this movie is so real, it also scared me a little. once you realize his condition, it makes you sympathize with the character and wish he didn't have this illness, when really he does. and the fact that this actually really happened makes it more amazing. normally, i wouldn't have watched this movie (and i really wasn't even going to last night) but i'm really glad i did. if you ever get the chance to watch it, i encourage you to. it's so good! aha.

well, maybe i'll blog later. i'm going to my dad's at five and won't be back until tomorrow morning (as usual). oh! and i got another perm. this one looks so much better than the last one. but the downside: no swimming for a week. oh well, it's been looking like it's going to rain all day. i guess that's alright. i love rain. <3
