this is why we should not have sleepovers anymore.

On Monday night, I saw AFI. It was just indescribably awesome. I was one person behind the barricade. In front of me was a really tall guy, who looked as if he had heard of AFI yesterday/never been to any kind of concert before. He was texting the whole time. Then he was complaining about all the people screaming the songs and stuff. XD. I did get a picture with Smith, and I hugged Adam. And Jade signed my poster. We had to leave before Davey and Hunter came outside, because my dad was worried about the people we may encounter while walking back to the hotel.

One of my good friends, Audrey, (who is also in the band I'm in, which is actually called 'Nameless'), decided that she should have a sleepover for her birthday this year. Bad idea. Better yet, extremely terrible idea. So Friday night, we saw a play about vampires that lasted for two hours. (It did poke fun at Twilight, which was enjoyable.) All the characters were played by two men. That was over at 11:30. When we got home, we had vegan birthday cake. (I have some awesome friends that really care about me.) We somehow figured out (don't ask how) that a plastic jackolantern amplified the sound from headphones. So we carried that around for I-don't-know-how-many hours. Then we were dancing to The Cure in darkness at 1 AM and eating vegan ice cream and cake and the rest of the icing. (Erin and I ate all of it, as we do not get to eat ice cream as often as those who eat dairy.) And climbing in trees like little children. Until 3 AM or so. Audrey and I snuck outside, while Cecilia and Erin were still inside. Our feet felt the need to move. So, still with the jackolantern and the ipod, we decided to walk around the pool until we got bored. We went to the swingset and randomly cussed at each other and laughed for a really long time. (That shows how mature we are. XD) Then Cecelia and Erin came outside and couldn't find us at first, as there were no lights and the stars were obscured by clouds. So we tried to swing really high so they would see us, and we almost fell off. Then they saw us and we all walked around the pool again for quite some time. Cecelia and Erin went to the swingset, and Audrey and I decided to squish ourselves in a hammock that was only made for one person and try to look for the stars, which was unsuccessful. Her parents woke up and noticed we weren't inside and made us go inside. Then, after an hour or so, we went outside again for a few minutes, and I stuck my feet in the pool, which was just above freezing, and I somehow forgot I had long pants on, so, I had to deal with up to my knees being near-frozen for the rest of the night. Then we went back inside and put the jackolantern on each other's heads. We ended up staying awake until around 5, slept until 9:30, and then we sat in the tree again and ate lettuce. (I have absolutely no idea why.) We're like little kids. :D

I am in the process of writing a 10-or-so page (and it keeps extending) poem that may one day become (a) song(s). I have absolutely no idea why or how I chose to do this, or why it ended up being so long. Or exactly what it's about. Right now it resembles a really long Mad Libs page because there's a bunch of places where I can't think of the right word.

Did you know that I have the kind of friends that would actually skip class to hang out at, of all places, the grocery store? I did not until today. Our assistant principal was late and he saw them walking down the street. They got suspended for three days.

my friends scare me,

And We Will See How Godless A Nation We Have Become.

That was a totally random title, but I'm hooked on East Jesus Nowhere so OH WELL.
This post is about my four friends.

SILVER:
She's been my friend since last September. We became friends because of, well, Eragon and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Tibby ♥). She's older than me by a few months and taller than me by a few inches. Her favorite bands are Within Temptation and Evanescence. She also likes AFI and Blaqk Audio (all my fault, I'm dragging her to a concert or two). Silver also loves the TV show Doctor Who (which I now also love) and her favorite book series is Lord of the Rings.
She writes crazy well. I have a minor part in her Doctor Who fanfiction, as the Doctor's companion's assistant. So I don't do much till the second book.
LAst year, we had all the same classes together.

TOKI:
I've been friends with her since October of '08. We became friends through PE class. She's insane and weird and random, she loves Nickelback. I'm forcing her to learn many AFI lyrics this summer so I can also drag her to a concert. She adores manga, especially NAruto and +Anima. And the anime Howl's Moving Castle. Yum, Howl ♥ She's also older than me, but shorter than me.

AIKARA/JADEN:
I became friends with her through Toki, and we've been hanging since December or January. She fueled my love of Afee (I'd already heard GNG and Silver And Cold, but she played Toki PRelude 12/21 and Toki played it for me and got me hooked...). She draws insanely well.
She is a lover of all things Jade, Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter. She's also the only one of my friends who can symphasize with my Red Hot Chili Peppers obsession.
I won't have to drag her to a concert, XD. I'm also going to the Green Day concert with her, Shika, and my mom!
We sometimes play the AFI game. She's always Jade, I'm always Davey.

SHIKAMARU-HIME (Shika):
I became friends with her through Jaden and Toki. We started hanging out in January, during and after the local ComiCon. I have no clue what her favorite band is, but I think it may be Green Day.
She also draws pretty well.

So these are people I'll be talking about in my posts. BTW, Silver and Jaden totally hate eachother and Toki really annoys Silver, so...

First Post

Well, as my title so clearly states, this is my first post here. Let's see. I guess I'll write about school.

Ah, I finished my sophomore year about two days ago. It's pretty shocking knowing that I'm half way through high school. It feels like I'm still a freshman. Anyway, I'm pretty stoked for next year. I'll be taking Physics, Math Analysis Honors, AP English Language, AP US History, Spanish 3/4, and Marching/Concert band. As I won't have space in my schedule for Jazz, I'm going to try to just practice the music at home and perform with the band. Also, they're cutting French, so I'm going to have to finish the course at a community college (which I'm pretty stoked for as well).

My AP World teacher totally boosted my self esteem on Friday. He told me that, if I focused, I could make it to valedictorian. He said that I'm his best writer, and the best test taker he's ever had, which was completely astounding because I know of so many really, really intelligent kids who've taken his class. I feel more motivated now, haha.

these 120 hours could go on forever...

Since not many people are posting, :[, I will just post again. XD

In the past one hundred twenty hours:

• I have been dubbed "Miss Murder", who knows why.
• We've got our little group of kids that are going to Warped Tour.
• I found out that I love Alesana and I Set My Friends On Fire.
• I made up a completely random saying "Running with scissors can set people on fire." And that has absolutely no correlation to anything, it was before I heard of I Set My Friends On Fire.
• My quote has become quite popular with my friends.
• I wrote my quote in Rachel's yearbook because she wanted me to, and then Emilie thought that "set" kind of looked like "sex", so she drew an x over the t. I hope her parents don't read that.
• I drew an array of Pacific blue-ringed octopi in my closest friends' yearbooks. They were all different, and include a radioactive biohazardous one, a checkerboarded one, a tiger-striped one, and a Disney one. Yep, I am a special person.
• I brought my grade up sixteen points in two days.
• We ate pizza in science. And we're eating pizza again on Monday.
• I wrote my name kinda like I 2 2 y on my yearbook, and Walter said "Wait, why did you write 'I Qui Qui' on your yearbook? Oh, wait, it says Izzy. Well, I'm calling you I Qui Qui now." Haha, like Bon Qui Qui. We're not weird at all. XD

That is all.

♥ Izzy.

Holy Crap.

School's over already?!
Last night, I graduated into high school. Today's the last day of school.
It feels like just yesterday that I was in 5th grade...

YAY SUMMER VACATION!
--Suki

EDIT: I meant that to mean that I feel like I was 10 years old just yesterday. No, I'm no longer 10, I'm 14.

First post in a whileeee.

This morning I got up painfully early for a Saturday, and went to go take a practice SAT subject test. Whoo. I loathe AP world history with such a passion.

Went to get a sandwich at Starbucks afterwards, then came home for a few hours before heading out to my friend Jessica's party. While it was not as amazing as her last one, fun times were had. We wrote a song with kazoos and a badly de-tuned acoustic guitar. Elias attacked her cat. A few minutes after Josh arrived, we started playing Guitar Hero because neither one of us has ever really tried before. We spent the next TWO HOURS playing this thing, while the party dissolved around us. By the time I left it was just me, Josh and three other guys sitting around watching us play. The game isn't even that exciting, and makes no sense, but it's just ADDICTIVE. Josh played the little japanese girl character. Hahaha.


Registered for classes next year. Can't believe I only have two years left before I graduate! I'm taking:
Pre-calc
Physics (SADFACE. I want to take forensics soo badly, but I need another year of 'real science' or whatever bs the school says)
English 3H
AP US History (I'm regretfully excited about this)
AP Art History (I'm super excited about this. Taking this with a bunch of my friends AND the guy I've had a crush on since middle school. Hahaha)
Marching band 1st sem/jazz band 2nd sem.


Jazz band is my favorite class ever. We're been working on improv lately, but this week we started practicing our charts. SO MUCH FUN. Played a 20 minute version of 'Night Train' yesterday. We have a show coming up next week, and even though we're still majorly unprepared, I AM SO PUMPED.


Okay, the end.

So, now I've been pretty strongly electrically shocked.

On Friday, at our annual youth group beach trip to Myrtle Beach, SC, in the hotel room, I was trying to turn the lamp on because there weren't any ceiling lights, and it was really dark. I failed to notice that the switch was on the wall, so I was trying to find it on the lamp. I touched something on the lamp, and it sends a really big shock up my right arm. It still feels weird, but it doesn't hurt and it isn't a strange color on my hand. Good.

No longer afraid of any carnival rides! Except giant rollercoasters. Went to a carnival on Saturday at Myrtle Beach, and rode that spinning thing that goes in circles really fast, and then it goes backwards and you feel like you're about to fall out, those giant swings that you end up almost completely horizontal at one point, a little kid ride that goes really slow in circles and you're in giant strawberries but you can spin around extremely fast, and a little kid car ride, and a little kid train ride that you could practically walk out of and we actually considered doing that because it was so slow, bumper cars [which I totally fail at driving. I can drive a car or a go-kart well, though.], and another spinning thing. [Very descriptive!] Then on the ferris wheel. Holly started talking about how it would be nice to be proposed to on a ferris wheel, and I got several pictures (around 15) of a beautiful sunset. Took them on a disposable camera, and haven't actually gotten to see them yet. One I particularly think will turn out well is of my friend Stuart looking at the sunset while we're near the top of the ferris wheel. I didn't originally intend to get her in in, but I didn't have much choice. It's nice, though.

And I just found out that I'm related to the prime minister and president of Poland. OHYEAH.

And today all these kids in science class were yay-ing when this animation of RNA linked together, because there was a sparkle after each one. (???) Then our teacher said "Ya'll are stupid." Allen replied "Whatt?" Then our teacher said "I didn't say anything." And then the whole class started laughing. Except Allen.

Today In The Life...

So, I had first and second periods off school this morning. This does mean I had period 5, but I got us leisurely, ate, chilled, made cookies, and headed off in a leisurely fashion that left me chilled for school.

Best morning ever. I love rowing and all, but it tends to leave me without the energy to deal with the rest of the day.

I got to school, and with my spare free time, I went onto one of my two FF.Net forums where I'm a regular.

The Domain is currently a warzone. The atmosphere is tense and unhappy. I pick up on these things easily, so it upsets me. I had a breakdown last night (bad grades + fighting friends + formal drama = a severely distressed girl who is borderline depressive), and I thought I should go.

But one of my friends was there, and he always makes me laugh, so I stuck it out, and eventually the atmosphere got less tense. So that was good.

I had Chemistry in Period 3, and I did a 1500 meter ergo (that's a race on the rowing machines) at Lunch with my crew. And then Periods 4 and 5 I had Psychology, which is always fun.

Anyway, didn't get home until six thirty ish. I was stupid enough to catch the fucking tram. BAD IDEA. I should have known I'd have to wait like, 20 minutes for a tram that wasn't so packed you could fit a girl and her schoolbag on it. I'm currently kinda PMSing, so I got so frustrated I chucked my bag at the tram shelter and yelled about being in Year 12 and having to study.

My phone looks like it's a little worse for wear because of my temper tantrum. -_-

Anyway, I finally got home, and I was on the internet for like, five minutes, and my mum comes in and gives me shit about how I should be spending more time studying and less time looking at my LJ checking on friends and shit. I got so fucking mad, but I'm too much of a coward to bitch back at her, so it's just festering quietly. I resent her for thinking that I have to give up everything and everyone I love just to get a good score this year. Fuck that shit.

I need that stuff to keep me sane.

Anyway, had a text conversation with my friend Streak until I got internet access on my laptop, and then posted a tl;dr post on T/D about the conflict. And I feel better now for having spoken about it. :)

Hey-o

My name is Rosie, and I hate introductions. I noticed that another Rosie posted earlier, which is pretty cool. I've only met a few other Rosies in my life.

So about me....I'm turning sixteen on March seventh.
I love anything to do with performing arts. I play clarinet in my school's marching band, bass in our jazz combo, and am also in a guitar ensemble where everyone sucks hard and makes me look good. I've been playing the guitar for about three or four years, and it's one of my favorite hobbies.
I've been performing onstage since I was a little kid. I love acting and singing. I've been in some pretty large-scale shows, but my favorites are always the ridiculous little shows my theater class puts on at the end of the year. We're about to start rehearsals for our next show, and I'm so excited. The class is full of the funniest, most insane kids you'll ever meet.

I'm also a giant nerd. I take all honors and AP classes, and occasionally find myself missing school over a long break. There is something wrong with me. I love my school, though, because it's not your stereotypical clique-y bitchy high school. In middle school people gave me crap for the way I dressed (and thinking back, it was well deserved. I was such a disaster. Almost everything I wore came from Hot Topic! D: ), but now nobody cares. And people dress with a whole lot more fail that I did.
Anyway, English is my favorite academic class. I have the most badass teacher this year, but unfortunately my classmates are just bad. They're all idiotic football players who don't take anything seriously, and I'm left to wonder how exactly did they get into honors? But I still like the class.


That's all for now. I got off a plane from Hawaii around 5am today, and am extremely jetlagged. And in need of food.
