I Hate to be a Negative Nancy

But we were totally cheated at Regionals.

Our score sheets had to have been tampered with. The judges' individual critique sheets all said the only problem was conveying the message, which is 110% fixable, and they gave us Superior and Excellent scores. However, the compiled score sheets also had Superior and Excellent, but were clearly erased and lowered. Wtf? Not only that, but since the competition was postponed for a month, there was plenty of time to find judges. Benny Mills didn't find the last two judges until the morning of the competition (and both of those judges were known personally by the three schools that won). And finally, the school that got first place went over the time limit by like, half an hour. That should have been an immediate disqualification.

Something fishy is going on in the drama department.

I Am Concussed.

I'm kind of surprised that's even a word... But yes. I am concussed. Some friends and I were on an ATV and one of them thought it would be a good idea to throw me off. When they did, I collided head-first into a telephone pole. I get to the hospital a day later to get a CT Scan and when I tell the doctors what went down, they stared at me like I was an idiot. I just shrugged and said, 'It happens,' and they went to laughing. Loudly. Which didn't really help my situation.
The aftermath: I've been out of school for a week because I'm supposed to sleep and not concentrate on anything so I can "rest my brain." However, my teachers have assigned a ton of homework, which completely goes against what I'm supposed to be doing. And I'm going to have pretty bad headaches for the next six months.

Lol. I love Seth.

Being out of school last week, I missed my sister wailing on some girl that's been giving her hell for awhile. But I got videos :)



I've taught her well.

The Art of Procrastination



That was supposed to my controversial essay for my English 102 class. As you could probably see, I had the heading done. And nothing else. I've been really bad about putting off my homework and every other school assignment. Usually, I'm really on top of things, but this year I just can't seem to focus on anything. It's the senioritis. Alas, the essay is now done. I just have to finish my persuasive speech by the time school starts again and I'll be completely caught up on everything. /sigh.

I've been MIA on here for over a week. A lot has happened. Finally dyed my hair; not thrilled about it. I miss the red. It's a for-sure-thing that after Regionals, the hair will once again be red.

Tuesday and I finally got the chance to finish our paperwork for housing next semester. We're Marshall bound.:) In all honesty, I can't wait to be in college. Hopefully it won't be as dramatic as high school. Plus, it'll be nice to be on my own for a while. Haha, while we were filling out our housing applications in the library, James blew up Mom's coffee mug. (Mom is Beautiful Brenda the librarian, by the way.)



It was quite interesting. Mom asked him to boil some water in the microwave. He put the cup in there for ten minutes. /facepalm. After three minutes, it started flaming and sparking and the cup shattered. Kyle was pretty upset about the whole thing because, and I'm quoting him, he "finally had the chance to use a fire extinguisher and everyone screwed it up." Shortly after, James broke the ficus.




We finally got Heidi to rap onstage!! It was a touching breakthrough. :')
That's one step closer to kicking major butt at Regionals on March 13th!


Quite the eventful week, I must say. I'd like to know how everyone's week was! Leave a comment.

J'ai perdu.

I lost the game.
Post #7

My brother is currently bugging me about video games. I don't want to play right now. He just doesn't get it.
I especially don't want to play Modern Warfare 2. He's ignorant.

Oh, what a day so far. The sky hasn't stopped jizzing all day and quite frankly, I'm sick of it and I'd like to take a blowtorch to the massive cold front causing all the snow. On a better note, I think I've found my theme song.



I lol'd. :)

My hair appointment has been delayed YET AGAIN due to the snow. Rescheduled for tomorrow (Thursday) morning. But the way it's pouring outside, I'll probably have to reschedule again. Fml.

Are your plans being ruined by the weather? Comment and rant your heart out.

What is the fear of falling in love called?

I don't have it, but I'm just curious. ♥

What. A. Day.
Regionals have been rescheduled for March 13th. Meaning we loose Rachel dear for regional competition. Megan is her stand-in. I'm kind of mad about the whole rescheduling deal. The other schools 'weren't ready.' Pussies. We had less than a month to do this play and we were absolutely fine with how things were scheduled. We're gonna blow they're socks off anyway, so idgaf.

I keep having this reoccurring dream about a guy-friend who isn't Ricky. And it's a damn good dream, too. I can't control what I dream, but I feel really guilty about it... It's weird because I don't think of this guy as anything but a friend.

Daniel and I made code names today. They're boss.

Sick of Snow

I never thought I'd say it. But I am sick. Of. Snow.
Post #5

Didn't post on Friday due to a massive headache. It sucked. I rarely ever get headaches... I think I overdid the caffeine over the week. For about of month, I've been drinking water and nothing else, and all of the sudden, I started drinking Dr. Pepper again. This resulted in heartburn, cramps, and headaches. I'll stick to water.

I was supposed to have rehearsal for After Math today, but it was canceled due to the fact that Webster turned into the North Pole overnight. So, today was pretty boring. I watched America's Next Top Model re-runs all day.

I was a Jenah fan, but my picks never win. :(

Planning on going shopping tomorrow. If it snows, I swear I'll go mad.
