What I do in Keyboarding.

A man and woman were seated in a canoe, floating lazily across the bay. The woman scowled at the man. He glanced at her sideways and simpered. She often felt neglected by him, but these thoughts were always diminished when she saw his finished work. He continued his painting with smooth brush strokes, unperturbed.

She pouted and crossed her arms. He squinted at the scenery. After surveying him for a moment, she began to take in her own surroundings. The sky was a cerulean blue and the water was sparkling beneath them. The sailors were out in their boats with the sun in their eyes. The people were coming out of their houses along the coast to feel the gentle breeze. A smile escaped her lips, something that he would never see.

The woman gazed at the man sitting across from her. "You've been wearing that silly yellow hat for years," she said. He simpered again.

I am currently in the box. I NEED to start thinking out of the box.

I'll start tomorrow.

I REALLY need to go to Barnes & Noble soon or I might die from all of these trivialities. I think I have something socially wrong with me. All I want to do nowadays is stay home and read and write. I even considered pretending that I'm grounded. I could do something to actually get grounded. Pishaw. I've never been grounded. No one would believe it anyway.

"Oh, you didn't hurt my feelings..."

I am perfectly aware that cats are not people. But there's nothing wrong with treating them as such. Does anyone else think it's gross that my cats eat their food off of the same plates that we eat on? Or is it only Brittany who thinks that? It's not like we don't wash the plates. Gorsh.

a vindication

"If absolute sovereignty be not necessary in a state, how comes it to be so in a family?...If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?"


I despise the ideas of men back in the 16-1700s. Scratch 'back in the 16-1700s' and it would still be a true statement, for the most part. Ha...

This morning I was trying to fall asleep because I refuse to down meds when I'm in a sickly state. Sleep is the best remedy, anyway. As I was drifting, a thought struck me: Pot roast Perfume. Crock Pot-fume. Yummy.

She's so lucky.

She's a star.

The world history test was a breeze. After the test we were told to work on vocabulary for the next chapter, and we were allowed to listen to our ipods. I'm sitting there doing my work, and then I hear "In my time, I've wandered everywhere..." My phone was ringing. And the teacher was like two desks away. I quickly opened my bag and shut it off, but a few people had already heard it...so did my teacher. He looks at the kid sitting next to me, who is listening to his ipod, and says "I hear your music. TURN IT DOWN." The kid looks very confused because obviously his music wasn't very loud. I couldn't even look at him I was smirking so much.

My second bout of luck was in Chemistry, and I let my friend copy some answers that I had copied from someone else. Mrs. Morby asks me where my paper is and I say, "Somewhere." She asks me who took it, but I don't tell her. I wait for her to get mad. Mrs. Morby brushes it off and walks away. Lovely woman.

Last night I had a dream that I was in a virtual reality game or something and I was forced to eat a POLAR BEAR! I ate his paws and they were crunchy. Ewww. Then the polar bear died. Yesterday we watched parts of an Inconvenient Truth. Haha. Someone please analyze this.

We are getting that kitty.

I love your funny face.

Today was the first day of school. You are probably wondering how it went for me. Well, it went all right. I am no longer in the dungeon for homeroom. Thanks Mr. Felton, maybe you do care for us after all. In first period, I had World History with Mr. Blake. He said "I'm just kidding" a lot. I spent the entirety of the class labeling the countries in Europe and listening to Olivia curse in my ear. Second period, keyboarding. The teacher is new. She's kind, but she shouldn't talk for so long, her voice is piercing. 3rd period was Chemistry with Mrs. Stahl. By then my mind was wandering. 4th period, Pre-Calculus with Mr. Matusek. He made us read an article titled "Math: WHY?" I still don't know why.

I can't believe I just wrote about SCHOOL.

Here is something more interesting: In Funny Face, Fred Astaire would stop Audrey Hepburn mid-scene and yell "What are you DOING?" He was jealous because the directors liked her better. He is nuts, but very talented.

My cell phone from the stone age is gone. I now have a Samsung slide phone and I don't know what to make of it. I feel like an imposter. I am grateful for it, though. My hair is about ten pounds lighter. Not really, but a decent amount has been chopped off. Yesterday I looked a little like Mary Tyler Moore; not beautiful, just with flippy hair.


Yesterday at the beach house, I was fed way too much food. I will name it all:
Chili-rubbed (whatever that means) steak, corn on the cob, macaroni and cheese, a baked potato, a tomato with cheese and parsley, and sopapillas (fried dough with honey-a Sante Fe thing) I just about died. And for dessert! Ice cream sandwiches- vanilla lemon ice cream in between two chocolate chip cookies, and then rolled around in some rainbow sprinkles.
My family is trying to kill me.

Tomorrow I am waking up freaking early in order to regulate my sleep schedule. Good luck, self. I will be up in the gym just working on my fitness, then I will be preparing for SCHOOL, and then trying to enjoy my last taste of summer. No stress, no stress, no stress.
