My tongue feels funny

...and it's all thanks to the cinnamon caramel corn I ate yesterday afternoon. Plus, I think I have a blister on my tongue. Yay.

So it turns out that that the alley that the youth group is bowling at is too far away. Plus, my mom thinks it could have (and should have) been better planned.

1. I'll agree with her about the alley being too far away. In addition to that, one of the adults driving is the mother of someone I've never met.

2. However, the reason why it wasn't better planned is that Steven is going to be away soon. And I'm still pissed off because, when I told her about the idea on Wednesday night after youth group, she said right away that I couldn't go on Saturday (today), because we're going to the silent auction. What I want to know is: who the hell asked me if I wanted to go to the friggin' silent auction?!

...much better.

Hopefully I can pester Dad to FINALLY help me get rid of the empty shortcuts for Human 3D. Either that, or I'll ask Max to walk me through it via MSN Messenger. I'm getting real sick of waiting. And then MOM tells me that I have to keep pestering him, like she has to do.

I wonder if I should bring a book with me to this silent auction. That way, if it gets super-crowded like it did the night of the fall festival concert, I can sit either in the foyer or on the wicker bench and read. Or, if the loft is unlocked, I can hide up there - but chances are it's locked so that the kids don't mess anything up.

This weekend is gonna suck. Not only do I have to go to a silent auction, I also have a sore tongue.

A very long post

I am so pissed off with my mother.

I don't recall her EVER saying that we were going to the silent auction thing at the church. She may have said something, but I can't remember. So now I can't go bowling with the youth group on Saturday.

Well, if by Saturday I am STILL not allowed to go bowling with the youth group, I'm staying home. No way am I going to that silent auction. The last time we went to a silent auction event (which was the fall festival concert/silent auction a few years ago), I wound up between two tables. This silent auction is a fundraiser, I think, with Indian dancers performing. I'm sure the dancers would be great to watch, and I have nothing against it. I just don't want to go.

I'd rather stay home and:

• Listen to the Galaxie music stations real loud
• Read a book
• Watch a movie - probably Rocky Horror or Shock Treatment. Although, I do have the second Harry Potter movie, which I haven't watched in a while, along with The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And many others. Hell, if I still have Labyrinth out of the library on Saturday night, maybe I'll watch THAT again. David Bowie looks quite dashing in it - I love how he says to Sarah (Jennifer Connolley), "Forget about the baby." Just the way he says it is oddly alluring.
• Eat junk food
• Play Final Fantasy VIII (if I can figure out how to use my PSone with the new TV)
• Go on Facebook and change my status to something snarky

So yeah. I'm pissed.

I'm also on an 80s music kick. Especially Billy Idol.

My Calorimetry is coming along nicely. I worked on it yesterday while watching Labyrinth. It was the first time I watched it, and I loved it!!!

Youth group was alright last night. Riley was there for a bit, but he left partway through the meeting. Somebody threw a shoe at me, which pissed me off. I don't think it was on purpose, though - I think it was aimed at someone else. We played charades in the sanctuary, and then Emma turned the lights out, so I got pissed off and walked back to the loft. Then we ate chips.

And Vicky brought a guy with her named Patrick. He seems like a nice guy. I think he and Riley know each other from their old middle school.

I hate my mother. I should ask the Goblin King (aka David Bowie) to take her away, just for Saturday night, so that I can go bowling.

I hate my mother. She's nosy as hell, and always finds a way to guilt-trip me.

I hate my mother. In an argument (or a Very Loud Debate), she always thinks she's right and will not acknowledge that, perhaps, someone else might have a good point.

I hate my mother. She focused on turning my brother into a genuis while I was stuck simplifying fractions while HE got to do friggin' GEOMETRY!!!!!

...did I mention that I hate my mother? ;)

Just a quick post.

I really don't get it.

Okay, so I didn't do math yesterday. I was going to last night, but I forgot. So Mom tells me to do math after breakfast, even though I put down math for 1:00 PM on my schedule. I tell her that I can't always do math in the morning, and she gives me the 'you can't choose when you do math in college or university!' BS. Come on! Who says I'm gonna do math in uni, anyway?! Maybe I'll study friggin' fashion design, which probably only requires some adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, and geometry! Oh, yeah, and Mom? How come you NEVER let me do geometry when I was younger, huh?!

...I feel a bit better.

Writing!

All I did today was write, listen to 80s music via Youtube, and muck about on my computer. I tried to doctor a photo in Photoshop, but it didn't work out well.

Anyways - writing. I got quite a bit done. I started some Harry Potter fanfiction, and I worked on a story that had been resting for a little while. And I've found that 80s music helps with writing - I logged onto Youtube to put some music on, and in the 'reccomended videos' was the video for Billy Idol's 'White Wedding'. I love that video. It's so cool, and weird - like a Tim Burton flick. After that I saw a video for 'Rebel Yell' in the 'related videos', so I listened to that. I had noticed that in the 'White Wedding' video's related videos was the video for 'Don't You Want Me' by Human League, so I, being paranoid, checked to make sure it was the same one that AJ had put up on her Facebook page, then I listened to that, too. Awesome :)

I'm such a music geek :p

So. I didn't pester Dad to help me with Human 3D today. Maybe I'll ask him tomorrow, after youth group. I hope I can get to youth group.

I didn't do any algebra at all :p I did some polynomials yesterday, though.

Post-weekend wrap-up

Let's look at the list again, shall we?


1. Write another Awesome Quotes of the Week note on Facebook (including random quotes from Micaela, Emma and Vicky).

2. Listen to the second disc of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

3. Listen to The Legends of Classic Rock Sunday night.

4. Work on my Calorimetry. (worked on it while watching Hair)

5. Check Q107's listener club draws to see if there's a draw for a video camera. That way I can sing in the bathroom like Rin on the Rox - who just got their Youtube accound suspended! :( (didn't do that 'til today)

6. Pester Dad to help me get rid of the shortcuts for Human 3D so that I can reinstall it. (well, I pestered him, but he's going to help me with it tomorrow)

7. Wash my two favourite pairs of jeans (Dad wants me to wash his new t-shirt, too, so that he can wear it tonight. I guess he wants to wear it to poker.)

8. Practise singing in the bathroom when no one's around. I get embarassed if people hear me singing in the house. Maybe it's because Katie and Nathan used to tease me whenever they'd hear me singing along to something. Anyways, maybe I'll sing 'Hotel California' or 'Dream On' - I've been in love with both songs lately. (I sorta-kinda did, but I didn't have music, so it was terrible, so I'm not crossing it off)

9. Perhaps I'll start Twiggy Tweed, a purse pattern from Knitty. It's part of a KAL on Ravelry. I was supposed to start it a while ago, actually.


I went to the dentist's today to have my flipper re-shaped. Turns out that they had to take another impression for a whole new flipper. Dammit.

On the upside, I watched Hair Saturday evening, which was an awesome movie. I think I'll watch Labyrinth tomorrow.

Things to do before Monday

So here's a list of things to do before Monday...

1. Write another Awesome Quotes of the Week note on Facebook (including random quotes from Micaela, Emma and Vicky).

2. Listen to the second disc of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

3. Listen to The Legends of Classic Rock Sunday night.

4. Work on my Calorimetry.

Cramps :(

Yup, the 'red tide', the 'crimson wave', has come. And I've got cramps. Joy.

Dad's got the sore throat I had last week, so that's not fun for him right now. I think I have a bit of a cold, because my nose was clogged with green snot. Yeah, it's gross, but how else can I tell you why I think I have a cold? ;) Actually, it's not too bad - Dad's throat is probably ten times worse.

Although, I am getting an earache at the moment. eep.

I talked to Holly on MSN, which made me happy. She's now in love with a band called McFly. I told her about the troubles with my first bone graft, and then we were talking about education. I spoke to Justin on MSN as well, but only briefly.

I'm glad that I got my 'curse' on a day like this - a day when I don't have to go anywhere. Not only do I have cramps, but I also have laundry to do, and two library DVDs to watch (Hair and Labyrinth).

I think Mom might pester Dad to go pick up a new TV either tonight or some day very soon. She told me this afternoon that she's sick of Dad insisting that the two TVs they were looking at had the same picture, or something like that.

I still have to work on Grandma's Clapotis! EEK!

I still want to make mittens. And a hat.

But I have to finish my Calorimetry before I start another small project :)
