WEEKEND UPDATE
and other things...

It was bound to get around here sometime, so here it is! For Friday the 20th through Sunday the 22nd. Friday night I have a friend spending the night, so I won't be online. HOWEVER, I WILL be on during the afternoon and until about 6:30 Central. Then Saturday I'm babysitting, but not until 6:30 PM (even if I wasn't babysitting I'd be at a concert, so I'd be busy either way). Since I'm going to be at my dad's house I can't dominate the computer 24/7 like I do at my mom's house. Reason 1) It's actually the "family computer" and other members of the "family" "need" to use it. Reason 2) My dad won't let me putz around on the computer forever. Although! You are so totally available to call me anytime during the day this weekend! Yes, Ryu-kun, the "you" I'm referring to is you since you're the only "you" who reads this blog.

Um. Now onto the "other things." Thursday, 9/19, is the last day of tennis for me. Match against Mound, let's hope Austine wins! I lost my last one pretty bad... 2-6, 1-6, but that's because these chicks were like, state champs two years in a row or summat. Jessica's giving me crap on how she's "taking over" my captainly duties because Erika (the other captain; there's two) asked her to help make locker signs for our match tomorrow. And the coach called her and Erika to help make phone calls for the cook-out that was last Sunday (that I couldn't go to because I was at that concert). She's just jealous that the team didn't want her as captain. HAH! That's what I say to that. I feel kinda bad because I didn't get anything for the team, but oh well. Speaking of the concert last Sunday, it was really fun! Good music, but nothing you'd like, I'm sure. However, I did change my profile's theme song to one of the girl's songs that was at the concert (Michelle Branch).

Anywho, it's late, and I'm tired, so I should probably get going. Chair tryouts tomorrow possibly. I hate school. I cannot emphasize that enough. I seriously cannot even think of a good reason to wake up in the morning and trudge my way to school. I don't even have anyone I look forward to seeing in the morning at school! BAH! I was also thinking of trying out for the fall play at school, but I may or may not. If I tryout and don't make it, I don't have anything to lose. Meh. Talk to you later, love you!

Another horrendously long day. I got to talk to Ryu-kun some today, but not nearly as long as I would've liked. Poor thing's been sick all weekend, I hope he gets better. I haven't even finished my analysis homework yet, and I'm supposing that I've got an hour to do it tomorrow between the time I get home from church and the time we're going to leave...actually, I don't know when I'll get it done. Chances are I'll end up staying up until midnight after the concert working on my homework. And the one thing that makes me mad is that I could've done my homework today but I chose to talk to Ryu-kun instead. And what makes me mad is that I hardly said anything! I couldn't even keep the boy happy. Wonder what's wrong with him...but even he doesn't know. Or else he does and he's not telling me. One of the two.

Either way, while reading my assigned stories for my American Lit class, I came across the cutest poem! It was written by Anne Bradstreet in the mid 1600s some time. Have a look at this.

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Is that not like, the cutest thing ever? I saw that and was just like "Aww!" Of course you gotta be able to comprehend the Old English, but pretty much anyone can get it. It's titled "To My Dear and Loving Husband" which is just cute in itself. Thus, made me think of Ryu-kun! *hears "aww"s from the extensive audience* Yes, yes, I know. Too bad I'm not that talented with writing. That's more pretty...I write more modern. Not so good with all them thees and thys and thous and such. But it's getting late and I have to wake up at some ungodly hour to take a shower before church (two services...Oi). But I just thought I'd record that poem so I don't forget it. Yep, Bye!

Tuesday, September 10

 
Today's Tuesday the 10th, meaning tomorrow's September 11th! Seems like it's been so much longer than a year since then. Let's hope I don't break down crying for no reason like I did 366 days ago. Oh my gosh, school sucks SO much you will not even believe. I have to memorize the definitions of 400 different terms (crazy long words that are on the SATs) and math is stupid and complicated. But I finished reading The Great Gatsby! When you get halfway through the book it actually starts to get rather interesting. I'm glad I'm done with it, though. Too bad I gotta take a test on it tomorrow and write a paper by Friday, then start in on my NEXT book for that class. Being constantly bombarded with work is not a good thing!

Guess what this marker box says. It says "Do not shake markers." What kind of a stupid comment is that? People actually think a marker's gonna work if they shake it? Meh. I'm realleh bored and I wanna work on writing Lost Hope but I have no time and I'm tired. That's a bit depressing. Because I get all these really cute ideas (working my head in the romance department) but then I have to time to write them! But they're so horrendously cute and...and yeah. I'll just keep playing it over in my head. Like all the other cute moments in our stories! Like the cute moment Rae and Ness had (until psycho man popped up), and the multiple moments for Aleks and Kale, and Rhett and Lily are going to have them! But then you have troublesome Kaena and Toby. Two late teens stuck in the head as 5 year olds. I don't even have any IDEAS for cute moments for them. I'm sure if I thought hard enough. But it's so much easier when the people have met recently, not 15 years prior to raging hormones. Then I don't even know about Symbiote. We've kinda post-poned that for a while...seems to be the same with Kasu.

Well, I'm tired, so I think I'll go to bed. Ohh...crap! Remember to do Ryu-kun's birthday present! Only have like...two weeks left. Not even. Damn early birthdays...ah well.

Sunday, September 8

 
Today's what...Sunday. Sunday the 8th. The Ren Fair yesterday was really super fun! Me and the family are going to dress up next year. That'll be some mad-crazy fun. I did my homework today. Boy, that was a blast. I have to read more of the Great Gatsby, too. Have to finish that thing by Wednesday, then right paper on it. Damn papers! I'm tellin ya. Went to see SwimFan today, too. That movie is CREEPY. But I suppose it's a nice one to go to with your girlfriend. Or boyfriend. Neither of which I HAVE (only one of which I'd want; the obvious answer), but eh. I just went with my friends. And here's a small note: STALKERS ARE CREEPY!!

Today's my last day to talk to Ryu-kun! Then I won't get to talk to him for 5 days! *tear* That'll be sad...I miss him already! I hope he keeps his promise and actually concentrates in school instead of constantly thinking about me. But hey, if he can do both at the same time, more power to 'im! He's such a sweetie, I don't know how he's gone through so many girlfriends. Then there's mean, unemotional (or over-emotional) me who has yet to have a boyfriend past the last loser I had, lol. The one and only. Ahh well. That's what I get for going to a small school. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will ask me to a dance! Yeah or NOT. You know what'd be great fun? If Ryu-kun came up here and went to a dance with me! Of course I wouldn't be able to get him in a tux, but that'd just take a bit of persuasion...

Anyway, my dad's making lasagna and it smells really nummy. Hungryyyy...I sorta skipped lunch, but I didn't eat breakfast until about 11. So however that works. I hope I don't have to leave for dinner soon...that'd be horribly sad. Because I wanna talk to Ryu-kun, who isn't talking...but I can change that! You know what are great? Compliments. Especially the really cute ones guys give to their girlfriends. You'd think they rehearsed or something. Or maybe some guys are just naturally talented that way. Meh. That's all for now. Bye!

Friday, September 6

 
Yay! I finally got my blog working. Yes, I am now one of the many people who uses and keeps a blog. Don't know if I'll be using this thing often, or updating it every day. We'll just have to see how that goes. I'm hoping this will break my habit of posting my daily life in the A&D message board, since that's SUPPOSED to be used for updates and site-related messages and such.

Anyway, I'm so glad it's Friday! It's been the longest four-day week of my entire life. You have NO idea (actually, you probably do, but meh). I missed Ryu-kun lots this week! And I got a lot of homework...homework that I have yet to do *cough* but eh. I'll get to that later. Tomorrow we're going to the Renaissance Festival for the whole day! That should be fun. Leaving in the morning, coming back late afternoon probably. Everything there is so much fun! Yay! I could live there practically, the clothes and everything are just so nifty! Maybe I'll work there someday...

Anywho, I don't really have much else to say. French is really fun! Je m'appelle Isabelle. Tu t'appelle comment? And that's all I know. Amazing, isn't it? Yees, I amuse myself lots. It's really hot out today, like...90 degrees. 90 degrees while in school without air conditioning is NOT fun. Even if you have shorts and a t-shirt on. But right now I'm wearing my sweatshirt because it's freezing by the AC. I have to read 7 books for American Lit Honors and I gotta read two non-fiction books for World History. What crap is that? Ah well, as long as I get it over with. Hopefully this year isn't as stressful as last year...

That's pretty much all I have to say for today! I'll update all about the Ren Fair tomorrow when I get back!
