I'm at my cousin's house for the 4 year anniversary of my grandfather's death. There's a lot of food and all, but my cousin's out, and it's pretty boring. It's not that I don't know the people here, I know everyone that's showed up. It's just that... I feel alienated, like a third wheel. The only person in my sort of... age group is my cousin, and she's not here. Ah well. I'm pretty much just spending my time listening to CDs that I brought along (Weezer blue, White Stripes - Elephant, Matthew Good - Avalanche, etc.) and thinking about what I should do for the end of the year. I want to write a post here that tells all, all my crushes this year, things I did that I regret/don't regret, stuff I want to remember, blah blah blah. Lots of stuff. I feel like getting that off my chest... and then hearing what people have to say about it.
I need to research and write a french presentation that's due Monday. I have to completely memorize it and everything. The teacher needed to know my topic, and I couldn't think of anything good, so I looked at the premade topic list and chose to talk about a popular person. Or in this case, popular people, Weezer. They're just so rad. I have to make sure I do a good job on this, it's 55% of the exam mark.
I quote my teacher, "If you miss this, if you're absent or sick without a doctor's note, then you get an automatic zero and fail the exam."
That's the sort of thing that gets me nervous. I have a good feeling about this though, I'm sure I'll pass it.

Two weeks left till school's over. It's kind of a scary thought, with exams in three weeks, and the doubled amount of work I've gotten lately. I'm really pushing myself right now, and the strain and stress seems to be building. I think I'll pull through though. I still have to write an essay about the assassination of JFK, which is much deeper than I thought it would be. Deeper, in the sense that there's a lot of stuff to sift through before finding what I need, not the philosophical sense. Also, it's not the easiest thing to research. I've seen pictures of the shooting, and stills of the moment he was shot. The sight of it was disturbing. It scared me. It's not like in the movies, like "Hard-Boiled", (one of John Woo's finest), which has a bodycount of 230. In the movies, people are shot all the time, but I know that it's makeup and SFX, but with JFK, I'm seeing someone who lived, who was known, in his last moments of life. I'm starting to wonder whether I should change my essay topic, although now is a little too late.
I have a 2 minute presentation to do for french class that has to be memorized. 2 minutes may not seem like much... but when you're up in front of a class trying to remember what you need to.... it's like an eternity. I don't like presentations. They get me a little... scared. I'm nervous beforehand, scared I'll choke and forget what I need to know. But still, like I said, I think I'll pull through. It's not that bad. I've done longer presentations before. Just not in french.
I also have a math assignment to polish off. It's a nice bunch of work that's preparing me for the finals, and I'm going through it pretty good. My class is behind in terms of the work though. We have two weeks to review everything covered so far, and time is really running short.
Science is one of those subjects, for me, which I have a bad feeling about. Although my average is pretty high (90-something), the exam seems like a monolith, tall and foreboding. My teacher keeps telling us about it, how it's all multiple choice, and how multiple choice is harder. How? Because when you read through the 4 answers given, three might sound logical and reasonable, and one might be worthless. I'd end up getting confused and then take a lucky guess. I'll need to put in some extra effort in that, re-reading my notes, reviewing what I need to.
I have to also get myself another little black notebook, just like the other, because that one has no pages left to write in. It's lasted me the whole year, and it's about time that it was retired. I just hope I don't start some sort of fad, carrying a little book around to scribble or draw in when people don't care about what goes on.
It's almost 11:30, I need to get some shuteye. That'll be hard to do, considering I'm not tired at all, and I'll probably be up past midnight. If I don't get to sleep, I'll probably be making up for lost time in school. That's not so good...

Today on CNN:
Lawsuit filed tries to ban Oreo cookies.
"A lawyer who has spent much of his life enjoying Oreo cookies has sued Kraft Foods Inc. seeking to ban the much-loved cookies in California because they contain trans fat, an ingredient he calls inedible."
This is just like when a bunch of fat people tried to sue McDonalds for making them, and the rest of America fat. All that excess blubber is really frying some brains.
Also, I added a counter, after a year of saying I would.

(This post isn't from my little black book! Finally!)
I'm now 14 years and 36 or so hours old. I don't feel any older though. Oh well. My day was easy enough to go through. With only 13 or so people in English class today, we pretty much had a free period to do anything and nothing. I was tempted to sleep. There was only a few people in because of a math competition going on. I didn't do it because I'm not in the enriched program.
Thank god.
French class, one of my hated classes, came about, and I had to do a presentation on a friend I met out of the province/country. Easy enough. I still don't like French class though.
I left the class, headed down the stairs, and wrote a bunch of stuff on my arms to help me remember. Just like the guy in Memento, except I don't have a wife that was raped and murdered. Recess was pretty slow, I just got my CD player and listened to it in Art class. I was listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' CD, 'By The Way'. My teacher didn't mind. As long as I didn't start some sort of riot with the CD, then it was okay.
I can't seem to remember what I was doing at Lunch. I ate, then I did stuff that made me laugh. I don't exactly remember it all.
Last period was science. I fell asleep for 2 minutes or so. I lost track of the lesson and had to get it explained to me by a friend. Oh well, my loss. I got home and just ate something, and that was pretty much all that happened. I hope I can sleep tonight... considering I slept a lot in school today.

May 13th - Happy Birthday to Me!
So it's the 13th. I'm 14... I already got 3 birthday hugs, and a present from Rian. It was a tiara that said 'Birthday Princess' on it, an armband bracelet thing that said "Hottie" on it, and blue socks that say 'princess' on them. Wow. That's really sweet of them, but I'm scared if I wear the socks, they'll rip or something. So should I wear the stuff?...
Okay... at recess then. I won't forget to do it. I'm sure I'll be blushing, even though you can't see it. My skin tone is pretty dark, so blushing on me is hardly noticible. I do blush though. Well.. .wearing the stuff is crazy... so I'll do it.
---
I don't like Home Ec. Well, I like the cooking part of it, but I don't like the majority of my class. I won't mention names to avoid getting myself into some sort of trouble...
---
Yeah. I wore the tiara.
---
Random thought of the moment: I would love to see Weezer live in concert. Not only for the music, but to see the giant lighted =w= sign.
---
My family got a picture of me wearing the stuff. If I get the pictures developped soon enough, I'll scan em in and show them to all.... or just send it to people to avoid getting my pic spread across the net.

Holy shit, I can't believe I forgot to mention it. *slaps forehead*... *lightly, to prevent bleeding*
It was my birthday on the 13th, and today is Tyler's birthday. Happy birthday to them.
And, if there's anyone else I forgot, and I have a sneaking suspicion I did.
Damn archives, why won't you archive like a working archive does?

God damn. My nose was bleeding like crazy today. Left a fucking mess in my science binder, blood on my notes. I have to re-write a bit of stuff now. Shit. It happened during soccer, ball bounced off my teammate's head, and hit me in the face. My nose, which had bled recently, started to bleed again. It started at the end of gym class, all through recess, until Science. I was sitting in class, I felt something in my nose. Thought it was just snot or something... nothing messy.
I was wrong.
I was breathing from my nose, and a spurt of blood shot out onto my arm. I was scared as fuck, so I got up, got kleenex, and headed to the office. I got ice on my head. Ice. It's the solution to almost all the school problems.
Anyways, mother's day's coming up. Gotta do something nice, but I already got my ideas.
I'm seeing how many hugs I can get in english class. Just randomly asking, you know?
----
Oooh yeah. 15 hugs!...
From 7 people. :p

I feel pretty... shitty. First, I couldn't burn Alex's CD, the one I promised to give her today. I found out that it was okay, and that I had one more day to do it. And then I found out one of my friends is leaving LHA. Damn... She was nice too, fun to talk to. The least I could do is give a hug or something...
---- (written during the Awards assembly, while watching Senior Campus Principal H. Weiner talk) ----
He was babbling. Rambling. He had no idea what he was saying, and neither did I. He lost me way back at the start of his 3 minute sentence. I was imagining his speech on higher academic standards to be stopped by a football in the groin.
----
Things to do tonight:
-Burn Alex's CD
-Homework (if any)
-Random insanity.
----
And that makes up my night for now. I wish I was listening to the White Stripes. Or =w=. Or... anything else but the metro. God dammit. It isn't moving, some problems on the orange line. This is the last thing I'd have wanted to happen right now. Fuck! Should've taken the 16 or something...
Arrived at the metro: 3:42 PM.
Metro started moving: 3.55 PM.
Anyone see something wrong with that?
That's it for today.

I'm in school posting. got five minutes so I won't type with any sort of grammar. I have this feeling I'll end up typing good anyways. Yeah, my day's pretty shit. I had this test in computer class, pretty long winded, but I think it's ok, considering I scored 98%. \m/. I couldn't get alex's Cd burned in time. My CD burner thing kept fucking up, but I think I got a solution. I'll try today, but I don't have much time to do it. It;s like.... 24. Time is running out! I'm outta here.
