this is why i don't skip government more often than i do:

Elle: "Why don't you go look it up on Urban Dictionary?"

Josh: "Oh my GOSH! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Urban Dictionary. You learn so many interesting things on there."

Me: "Oh god."

Josh: "Like, like like like like..."

"..."

Josh: "Like, I learned this the other day! And I need help, because I don't know which definition is right. There were two, and I can't figure it out."

"......"

Josh: "Does anyone know what snowballing is?"

"OH GOD."

Josh: "Oh, do you? Because I read that it was either, a guy comes in a girl's mouth and then she makes out with him..."

Nick: "Oh my god."

Josh: "OR it's four guys and four girls, the first guy comes in the first girl's mouth, and she passes the load onto the second girl, then the second guy comes in the second girl's mouth, and she passes THAT load into the third girl's mouth, and so on."

"......."

Josh: "So can anyone tell me which one it is?"

football game was the funniest thing i've experienced in a long, long time.

SAT tomorrow. not cool.

BARACK OBAMA IS GOING TO BE IN ASHEVILLE ON SUNDAY AT ASHEVILLE HIGH. i'm going. i hate the man, but i want to go. so does my mother. it should be interesting, at least. place will be packed. we're going to have to peel the mccain sticker off the back of the car, that's for damn sure.

mmmn i need to update this moar, yes.

i had like three breakdowns at band last week. suuuuuuucked. i hate that sims kid. mr wilson promised to slap some sense into him though. i've been trying and it just hasn't gotten through to him. he cooperated mostly today though. i warned him that i was through with stopping at 'crying' and from now on i was going to detour directly to 'murderous rampage', i think he got the message.

i'm making an A in government, holy shit. i thought i was failing tbh. i took a test in there today though that i am positive i bombed. ughghghsdlfkj;gkbna;dflkj;lgf FUCK FEDERALISM OK.

we have an early release on thursday but i have to be back at school at 3 for band practice. i don't know why. everyone was looking forward to not having band until five because it's going to be wristband day at the fair. but i don't think i'm going to go to the fair anyway because taylor said something like "well, as your ~boyfriend i take precedence over your friends and i don't like the fair so maybe you and i will do something else." i was too polite to mention chicks before dicks, but i think he got the message anyway from my silence because he was like "oh and i'm totally your best friend too, so."

whatever. stuck at the fair with betsy actually sounds kind of like a bad idea anyway.

and then for whatever reason a little after that he hung up and refuses to pick up. i was in the middle of making a snide comment about how he could easily avoid me catching him in bed with another girl by not sleeping around. it was a joke but i feel almost like i hit a nerve because he's not calling back and i've called him like four times. what the fuck, drake. no. maybe someone called him? at 1.20 in the morning. whateverrrr. but asdf apparently he got a car. YES. THANK GOD.

oh and i'm supposedly going with sarah to mcs tomorrow? idk. i mentioned it to her but nothing's solid. which isn't a good thing. idk if i can go. :/ my mom might be a bitch about this concert too.

ahem anyway.

i've talked to mr harrison about my senior project practical experience, which will be working at the Asheville Citizen Times.... and he still hasn't contacted anyone over there for sure. i mean, he's 100% guaranteed me i'm going to be able to shadow there, but he just doesn't know with who, doing what. etc. thanks mr harrison! it's not a big deal seeing as how, you know, my entire college career depends on this. :D he suggested for part of my experience i do a blog, though, which might be awesome since i enjoy talking about things and hoping other people read them. AHEM.

i need a new lj layout. fail.

insomnia fails.

goodnight.

oh, and last week's ghost hunters was EPICCCC oh my god.

let's see, i've been in school two days and i am already burned the fuck out. this is not gonna be a good year.

first period: english IV AP
mr cole is hilarious. seriously. he has this drawling southern accent tinged with a nice hint of total homosexuality [unconfirmed though he does lack a wedding ring] and he has already said enough funny shit this semester to write a book about. Cole-isms, i suppose. that said, we got all our information for our ~senior projects and jesus christ i wanna cry it looks so hard asdfjkgl;hlk;nafv.klsadjfl;gh coupled with the fact that i have a test on 3 books i should have read this summer on monday but i didn't read them so now i should gtfo the computer and read them which i'll do after this post.

second period: band.
ho hum, same old same old. except for somehow my trigger key quit working. it got stuck, as did andrew's and sam's. so 3 our of 5 french horns are not currently functioning. mr wilson took them in yesterday after class, i don't know if they'll be fixed by monday but i hope so.

mr wilson has some sort of stick up his ass concerning me and andrew since he's taken his opportunity to yell at us both on the first day. the first instance was when we were trying to help a FRESHMAN in MARCHING BAND. he was so livid. like. he dragged us into his office and was all like "shut up or go home" and we were like, uh. ok? jeez. the man used to love us and now he's just ill of us.

third period: government AP.
ms gallman was my old civics teacher and now i have her again. here's a background: she's an ultra-liberal, loud, divorced nutcase with hair that would put the 80's to shame and clothing that would make all the grannies envious. i should totally hate her, but i don't because she is just too damn funny. that class is no damn laughing matter though. i got so confused so quickly. yesterday we were told to write an essay based on a question she gave us and everyone started doing the whole AP English, thesis statement, paragraph paragraph paragraph, conclusion thing and then she cut us off after like 20 minutes like LOL U R DOIN IT RONG and we were like what the shit are we doing here this is crazy. emily and i are in this class together and we are both really interested in gov/politics so we expected a fucking free ride.... not so much.

fourth period: discrete math & statistics.
jesus christ, this class is so easy i fell asleep and still knew what we were doing. this is obviously going to be my dozing class since ms glover doesn't seem to pay attention or care - jake fell asleep and betsy was reading a book and she said nothing, just kept right on going. after advanced functions and modeling, this shit is positively elementary. thank god i have at least one easy class.



so i have a rough semester ahead of me, for sure. especially since it requires a lot lot lot of homework and i hate doing homework. i need to go and do a shitton of it now. i didn't do my homework on the FIRST FUCKING NIGHT for government because i was otherwise occupied and didn't get home until 9.45, and it screwed me in the ass. so i need to make sure that won't happen again, but knowing me it probably will. ugh.

and i totally got sick yesterday too. i've been a total insomniac recently but more importantly i hadn't had proper food until yesterday. so tuesday, wednesday and thursday i was just totally not hungry, barely ate anything. on thursday i really intended on getting food during lunch. really i swear. but ms gallman's classroom is in the stupid 'freshman academy' [why yes, yes we do have a separate area with which we restrain our animalistic little freshmen] so we have to go to lunch on the same shift as half the fucking freshies. couple that with ms gallman's tendency to TALKANDTALKANDTALK and we were ten minutes late for lunch.

by which time the place was like a zoo and there was absolutely no food left. last lunch period of the day and every fucking freshie has already been through the line. NO. FOOD. at all. i very nearly bashed some skulls.

then, that night, i definitely didn't get the chance to have any food at all. ok, so i had half a pepsi. doesn't count. i fucking hate pepsi.

so wednesday morning i had coffee and about an hour later i had a rockstar. wow, caffeine on an empty stomach isn't cool. third period i ended up in the bathroom dry heaving pepto-bismol-pink bile, thanks to the rockstar [it's kinda reddish]. that was exciting. i just kept my head down for the rest of the class. i got a piece of pizza that totally SUCKED for lunch and some water and it helped to have something on my stomach, believe it or not. last night i actually had a decent dinner and i had lunch today. so hopefully i won't get ill again, and there won't be any stupid breaks in my eating routine again.


TL;DR, school sucks, getting sick sucks.

oh, and DARCI: I KNOW YOUR ~BOO~ IS OVER BUT YOU NEED TO GET ONLINE FOR LIKE TEN MINUTES SOMETIME OK BB.
