whoa man, that seemed just like yesterday

I had a total of three (count 'em, three) hours of sleep last night, but I wasn't tired at all today. Funny how that works. Even though I wasn't tired I slept for three more hours when I got home from school. Funny how that works too.

I had three quiz/tests today. THREE in one day! Insane. CAT, Spanish and Biology. I think I did rather alright on them though.

Seventh hour (English) keeps getting better and better. At the beginning of the year I dreaded it so much, maybe just because I knew that as soon as it ended I would be in the pool. Anyway I hated it so much the my teacher told my parents that he was "concerned" about me. G-A-H. But now, we make movies and such and I like it.
Yes yes I dooooo.

"we have EVERYTHING to do"

What did WE do tonight? WE.. played the Madness (I lost), ate McDonald's in the Target parking lot, bought small dog collars at Petland, sat in beanbag chairs at Target, and that's really pretty much it. Throw in some singing, dancing, and long talks and you have my night.

Can't complain I suppose, but I'm super tired again.

can we drive to the moon?

I have three new CDs. Yay! Wonderfulll.

Tonight was a pretty mellow one. I went to the JV game with Roman. I'm not a big fan of school basketball games and whatnot. So after the JV was over I was ready to go, but we stayed for a whole 15 seconds into the Varsity. Man oh man.

We were going to go to a movie but ended up not. We ended up not doing anything. We got toasty marshmallowy goodness (of course) and our favorite stop-n-go employee was working (of course). Most of the night consisted of singing along to deja entendu (we listened to it at least 4 full times.. man) while driving around aimlessly.

Well, we did make two stops.
1: CD Source. We went to check it out and BAM!, Lis was there! So we were in there for maybe an hour? We looked through everything, ate skittles, and I won a dollar for "guessing" the age of the guy behind the desk. Oh yes and he's trying to begin whoring us while we're young. Yes? I don't know.
2: Traxler Park. That's right. We ice skated with our shoes. We pretty much slid around playing tag for a good 10 minutes. This kid who was playing hockey with his homies came over and talked to us. He was about 7 but was trying to convince us that he was a freshman. Then, out of nowhere- Kid: "Oh yeah? Well cry me a river and I'll piss on your face!" Whoa man, I'm just tryin' to bust a move here! No need to get violent! Oh yeah, we were playing 'Figure Skater' too. What fun.

Now I'm really flippin' tired. All that driving/singing/nothing just.. wore me out? Hmm

today in class, my sharpie went crazy on my hand. had a mind of its own i tell ya. and that (the picture) is that

pulling teeth from the pimps of gore

I can't concentrate on anything right now. I need to cool my jets man. I need to waste some energy. I'm home alone right now.. that means I can sing as loud as I want.

-

Earlier I was eating a chicken pot pie, and I burnt my tongue, but man it was worth it. It was amazing. And then my sister was hassling me for some until I had to tell her to get up outta my pie. Bitch, how you gonna act?

-

This computer I swear is eating my life. I'm trying not to use it all the time but I can't help it. And, if I wasn't doing this right now, what would I be doing? Sleeping? Watching TV? Definitely not anything cool so I'll let it slide.

-

The newBright Eyes discs came out today. I wish I knew when I was getting mine. I don't even know if my order's been shipped yet, since I ordered them online and jazz, and they haven't sent me an email and I don't know what I'm doing. Aaah. But yes, I'd like those soon.

if your thoughts should turn to death, gotta stomp 'em out like a cigarette

School hates me, and the feeling is mutual. Second quarter I thought I was doing so much better but I realized today that my grades are pretty much the same, except for some -'s changed to +'s. So does anyone know when report cards come out? Because you should get as much of me as you can before then, before I'm locked up for who knows how long.

Errrg.. school.

At least I started photography today though. Finally, a class I'll enjoy doing work for. At least I hope I will. It seems like the class and the people in it will be fun, but I guess you never know.

Oh and I have a new teacher for biology. That's good too, believe me.

But.. eh, there's nothing else to talk about...

i don't need any love, cause i've got the elements

hail mary

-----------------

My parents wouldn't let me go out tonight because the roads were "too slippery." But then they decided I'd have to accompany them to my brother's hockey game in Madison. Does that make sense? No. Maybe they thought I would burn the house down or something? I don't know.

The whole game, I couldn't pay attention for longer than 10 seconds at a time. I have ADD when it comes to sports. So I chased around my friend's one year-old sister, or just sat and stared at nothing.

It was alright. Better than staying at home by myself I guess. I guess.. Actually, no.. it probably wasn't. But it was still alright.


You know, I've been thinking.. an Excursion needs to be had sometime soon. Who's with me?

so, yeah..

Tonight I rolled with Lis and Roman. They'd already been driving around for a while. Lis wanted to vent, so it was drive-and-vent night. And then we ended up going to Rock to see C1 and Wayne. Yayaya.

The rest of the day was pretty normal. I had my Newspaper and English exams. Neither were too hard. After school I checked my Bio grade and (I think) I'm getting a D+. That sucks, and blows, both at the same time. And I'm not one to throw around phrases like that. But yeah.. that's bad.

When I came home from school I slept, since I didn't get too much sleep last night. And guess what.. I'm starting to dream again. I went for maybe 8 months without having/remembering a single dream. Then I had the one about the Candyland man tickling me. Last night I dreamt I was a pirate in a prom dress. And when I slept after school, I dreamt about this big comfy kid (when you hug him it's like you're laying on a couch).. (Roman knows what I'm talking about) who's in my biology class. Yes, it was a strange dream, and it made me giggle.

I don't know what's going on with this weekend, but there's no school tomorrow. I've got some random plans with people, and then, get this, Romanizzle wants me to teach her how to snowboard. Ha. The first time I went (6th grade) I broke my arm. Broke my freaking arm.. which is hard to do, especially on a little bunny hill like I was on. So I'm pretty much the last person you'd ask to teach you. I mean I'm a lot better now, I'm at least decent.. but still, I broke my freaking arm. I hope I don't wind up killing her or something. Oh man, it'll be fun times.


Now I need a shower. I smell like a candle.

here we go

Good day today.

Exams, alright. Once again I guessed a lot. Not so much on the Spanish exam, but yes so much on the Biology.

After that Matt and Anna came over to my hizzle.

We watched Napoleon Dynamite. THEIR idea, not mine. Yes, I love that movie but it's getting old. So old. Somehow it gets worse every time I hear someone say "Your mom goes to college!" or "IDIOT!" or, well, anything at all from the movie. People just don't understand.. if a movie is funny, that doesn't mean quoting it over and over and over will be. That's just annoying.

We also had a little kid game-fest. Played Candyland (by the way, that mucky thing's name is Gloppy), Chutes and Ladders ("You didn't plant the flowers so you can't enjoy the bouquet!!"), Don't Break the Ice, and last but not least Pretty Pretty Princess. Am I stating the obvious by saying that Matt was the Pretty Pretty Princess? He wanted that crown. Oh man, he wanted it baaad. He even cheated.. just to be Princess Matt.

Then I beleive we walked Anna home. Matt and I frolicked in the snowy park for a bit but then he had to eat because.. he just had to ruin my fun.

Back at my house my mom was sick. I didn't know this but I guess she's like a mental patient whenever she's sick. She laughed for 12 minutes. ABOUT A DESK! Laughing for 12 minutes straight is bad enough, but this was ABOUT A DESK!! And then, when walking down the stairs, she completely wiped out and landed like.. on her face. Oh man, I wish I had a straightjacket. I'm sure Matt was glad he got to witness that.



My dad got a new couch today.
It smells like licorice, but tastes like leather :(

Heh heh.. Matt did it too




Oh hey guess what. I preordered I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn today. Happy happy. You don't have to be excited about it, but I sure am

jigga jigga slimshady

Today was the first day of exams. I don't know what the big deal is- why everyone hates this week so much-.. I kind of like the whole exam thing. Leaving school early is fine by me anytime.

Today was CAT and History. CAT wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. History involved a whole lotta guessing.

Afterwards Ally came over, and we indulged in cheesey quesadillas hot from the quesadilla-maker. Now, I'm telling you, that quesadilla maker is the best Christmas present anyone has ever given anyone ever.. of all time.



Tomorrow I have Spanish and Bio exams.
I don't feel like studying.
I think I'll frolic with Matt after school though.




a-bomb can draw.. and color.. IN THE LINES!

It's real cold outside.. I think you should know that. I like it. I'm a big fan of teeth-chattering and shivering and all that goodness. When I sit on the computer for a long time, like I am right now, I start to get extra cold. Don't know why. But I noticed that it's only my hands and feet that get cold. And it's only my right hand and right foot. And my left side is warm. What's with that?

"It was your hello that kept me hanging on every word
And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
And I'll sing songs to help me stay up all night long
Cause I don't want to go to sleep
And I'll sing songs and hope you're listening carefully
And know exactly what I mean
You know exactly what I mean"
(copeland)

give 'em that ol' razzle dazzle

Things are going down lately. Things. You heard me.
Right now I'm thinking and everything is good. I mean, every part of my life right now is... good, besides the whole school area but that's kind of inevitable.
I'm happy and on good terms and everything with all of my friends. I haven't been sick in a month or so. I haven't had many crazy swings lately. I've steered clear of breakdowns.
I'm just.. well, just happy.
Seriously the only thing I can think of that I'm NOT happy with is school. My grades are.. nothing to write home about. Exams are coming up, and I pretty much have to ace most of them for my grades to be "acceptable" in my parents' eyes. If they're not good enough, I'm not allowed to schedule drive times. If I don't have any drive times, I won't be able get my license when June rolls around. That's probably how it's going to happen. I think I can live though.

Speaking of driving: Roman got in an accident today. I guess she's pretty shooken up, but not hurt or anything. Well cheer up missy because I LURRRVE YOU! And it's a public love too, cause I said it right here. So there!

RmnElli: your the only one who isnt treatin me like im gonna like kill myself or something
yeah1yeah7yeah: because you're not, because you can't eat cupcakes when you're dead


Everyone else who's sad, I publicly love you too. Because if I've ever said "I love you" well I still do. And even if I've only talked to you once in my life, I probably heart you big time. And even if you read this but I don't even know you.. well I probably would love you if I did.
Does that make it better? No? How bout a hug then? No? Band-aid?


I love you.

i'd like a.. "beverage"

Oh how I love 1:40 days. I get to eat lunch with my woman.
Kuffcah today. There was only one other person there. He had no teeth.

C: "How do you chew chicken with no teeth?" (looking at guy)
M: laughs and spits everywhere

2 minutes later

C: "No really.. how do you chew chicken with no teeth?"
M: laughs and spits again
C: "SERIOUSLY! I'm asking because I want to know. Does he just gum it or what?"

It was crazy watching him. Crazy, I tell ya.

This is like the third revision of.. this. Because the last two were boring and I was being bitchy. I don't know, I'm in a weird mood right now.
Anyway....

Some people showed up in my driveway earlier. I sat with them in the car until Roman got here, then we all left to Matt's. We sat in his room and were just cold chillin for a while (heh heh).

Then Tybomb called and he had something in his anus, so he decided to yell at me later. I asked why he was pissy and he said "I'm just tired of immature people and their bullshit." He totally pooped on my face. I don't dig that.

After Matt's, he, Roman and I went to the adobe of Ms. Elaina. We danced in front of her house until she came out. Then we went inside and kicked it straight up gangsta style for a few moments.

Elaina had the idea that we should attack a few cars with some window markers. We rolled to Joey's house but then Elaina realized his car was probably at Ryan's. So then we were off. We dropped Matt at a hotel to get sexified. Then, we weren't exactly sure how to get to Ryan's, so we followed our noses (quite like Toucan Sam) and we made it there eventually. Elaina and Roman wrote on Joey's car, and I did the dead probe. And I had to walk shin-deep in snow so Ryan better love me or I won't ever color pictures for him EVER AGAIN! harhar. We also went to Wayne's and did his car so he wouldn't feel left out, and because we love him more than technology (of course).

And now I'm home, kind of hungry, and really cold.

Yes?

hearts stars & horseshoes

I carried an endless supply of Lucky Charms with me and ate them all day. Why? They're delicious! And then I turned my pants into Lucky Charm pants.


I just got done hanging out with myself. Myself=Caitlin.
We squeaked in ShopKo until whichever one of us has redder hair was being too loud.
And we rolled around on some sweet hogs.
And drank brews and read about screws.
And had a passionate love affair.
And then... we..... stole some jellybeans. I'm hoping the po-po's don't catch me for that.. cause I know what they do to guys like me in prison.

We were there until Robin was off, and then we made pretty dressies from shopko bags.

And then we rolled on over to Rock and stuff. And yes. I don't know.

Some people yell at movie screens.


Earlier today I hit my toe walking up the stairs. I think it's broken. I think I need a toe cast, or an operation, or an amputation, or something. It hoits.

walk with me, suzy lee, through the park and by the tree

Third post of the day. Crazy. And a little excessive, but oh well.

I ended up going sledding with Anna behind Craig. After going down and walking up the hill twice, we were pretty much spent. We abandoned our sleds and decided that rolling down the hill was a lot more fun. Then we trudged all the way out to the goalpost and licked it to see if our tongues stuck. They didn't, and it tasted weird, like salt.

We just sat in the snow until Mya showed up. Then we watched her walk all over the place looking for us because she didn't realize we were right there. It was funny. Kind of.

Mya and I ate snow and made tunnels and traps and tried to get Anna to fall in. They didn't work. Not at all. But it was still a good time.

We sledded for a while longer, then Mya and I went to the gas station and got ourselves some hot chocolate and six doughnuts. We picked up Kayla and came back here (my house) for some quality Napoleon-watching.

Kayla and I decided that we're making a movie called Penita. It's a love story of an unlikely couple. Haha. You'll never guess who the stars are, but they're in the title.



Fun day indeed. I heart the snow. And you know I'm right when I say that you just can't hate it. No matter what.

shut your face

Oh baby! It's me!


I loaded some stuff on my computer today so now I'm able to post pictures. That'll be fun. Right now I'm trying it out and making sure I know how to use it (hence the random self-portrait).

Now I'm even more in the mood for another photo excursion!

1/7/4- Ally today told me that this picture makes me look Asian. Hurrah! I think it makes me look like I have a lazy eye.

"drink up baby down

are you in or are you out?"

Today is a snow day, and that calls for much rejoicing.
I've gotten 3 calls to go sledding but I'm still sitting at home. I kinda want to go back to bed.
Maybe when I find out where everyone is I'll meet up with them.
I don't even think I own a sled anymore.
I had this big intertube thing but it has a hole in it :(



Things are crazy when it snows. Everywhere you look it's white. Sometimes it's like the whiteness could just swallow a person..



Well I'm out. Hittin' the slopes! Ha ha.
Later.

do you feel good about green jell-o?

I love all this snow, it makes me giddy whatever that means. I was really tempted to go take a walk in it just a few minutes ago. I almost walked to Anna's house to see if she wanted to play.. but then I remembered that her mom thinks I'm a bad influence, and that I wasn't wearing shoes, so I didn't.

Last night my mom and I were talking about how she has to give my dad a ride to work and everywhere else in the winter, because he only drives his car when it's not cold and slippery outside. His car is his baby, or his lover, or something. So I asked why we couldn't just get another car. It would kinda make sense for everyone. In the winter if my dad neeeeds to drive somewhere he uses my brother's car, and then my brother is immobile. Plus.. I'd just like a car.

Anyway my mom said that they were thinking of getting a new one, especially since I'll be driving soon. But then grades came out and they changed their minds. Damn me and my shitty grades.. But she said that if they're better by the end of the year, they'll probably change their minds again.

So now I actually have motivation to do something. I did all of my homework tonight. Knowing me, that's CWAZY. Very cwazy. I mean, I'm not one of those kids who takes pride in their slackability, I just don't do anything. So. Yeah. I'm trying to change that now.

'Cause I want a car.


I sound REALLY spoiled, don't I? I'm sorry.

marionettes on weakening cables

Yeah uhh I guess I forgot to say anything about going to see the Dr on christmas eve morning. I had to get up in the morning.. on break.. gah. But anyway, I went to my appointment and waited for the doctor for a while. Then when he finally came, he basically looked at me and said I am no better but no worse. So, thanks. Nothing new. He said I do have chronic tonsilitis though, but they're not taking my tonsils out. They have to wait to see if I get better without surgery, you know. So I have to wait this out for 2 more months and THEN go back.
I mean.. not that it's that bad, but gah. Gah indeed.



Meh.

So today's been good. Had a fun class 4th hour. _____ Drawing Contest! Oh, and I won. Believe it.

I'm real awake considering I didn't sleep last night. Well I slept for 2 hours, but that doesn't really count.

Although I did have a dream about that Muckmonster thing from Candyland. He just chased me and tried to tickle me. Man, I hate tickling. I think he's made out of molasses. You know, that brown sticky muddy thing. I really need to play that game again because I don't even remember his name.

This weekend, I'm thinking Candyland tournament. Anyone up for that? OH! We can play for candy!


Well, that's all for now.
Later kids.



WAIT WAIT! So Emily, this girl sitting next to me right here right now, is talking about this girl who she works with.. who's boyfriend drives the Frito Lay truck. And he's 32. Can we say Dream Man? YES WE CAN

you're nice.

My dad was on a crazy man spree tonight. Seriously. He argued with me for 4 hours and made me clean my room and eat a whole lot of pears, until I exploded, before I could go anywhere. Ha ha. Yes, he is old.

Robin picked me up and we went to Caitlin/Carlin1's house. And people came. And it was happy.

Then I came home and talked outside on the phone forever. Yes, it's freezing. And so am I. But... I'm wearing two pairs of pants once again. Why? I don't know, I like it. Shut up.


So, it's next year now, and that's crazy. I think I have a resolution this time. I think it's a good one. But I don't know.

Have a happy year folks. Carlin2 loves you :)

Night.
