Ok, so there's a new template :) I actually think I like this one. But I say that with all of them, haha. Tagboard was annoying me, because I couldn't make the box smaller. So I went with chatterbox.

Umm.... So, what's new in the life of heather...........

Nothing. wow, that's pathetic, not? Ok, so a little bit's new.

I went to the dentist today. Most people I've met don't like the dentist. I dont mind the dentist, I prefer them over going to the doctors actually. At least at the dentists you get novacain. That's what I got today, had to get a tooth filled. 1 of 3. grrr. They said if they would have put the sealant on in time, I wouldn't have gotten these cavities, but as it is they're about 6-8 months behind on putting the sealant on, because there is always such a long wait in between appointments that new cavities develop and they have to fix those before they can put the sealant on. grr. makes me mad.

Oh, we hooked our dvd player up!!!!!!!!! Boy was that a hassle. We had to get a RF Modulator because our tv doesn't have the one thing we needed, so we had to pay about $30 for that, then we got home and dad said we couldn't hook it up, because we still didn't have the one cord. He threw a huge fit, saying how it's all a conspiracy against consumers that you have to buy one thing one place, the cord for it at another, then the adapter somewhere else, etc. And when I say he threw a fit, I mean it. He was going to take the dvd player back. Then finally he said "Heather and mom go get the other cord" so when we got out to the car I explained to mom that I thought dad was wrong and wasn't looking at it right. No way would I have said that to dad, or I'd likely have gotten my head chewed off. lol. But about halfway to the mall mom and I were almost definetly sure we didn't need this cord, so we called dad from the cell phone and explained it. By that time he had calmed down and looked over the dvd player instructions (he was looking at the modulator instructions before), and he said yea, going by what we said and what the instructions say, he wasn't sure if we needed it either. So, he says "come on home and we'll try it". Lol. We did, and it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! I like the dvd player, it hasn't made that big of a difference in the 2 movies we've watched, but the sound is clearer, and the picture looks a little more 3D. I think it depends on what type of movie you watch. I want to rent one of those movies where you can play a game (I think Leelo and stitch have that). I don't know how we'd play the game without controllers for the dvd, but it'd be cool to see it at least. lol.

Know what I'm doing for new years? I'm going into the yahoo chat so I can be there when the ball drops, lol. I'll have MTV on, so maybe I'll get to see GC and some other bands play. Mom said Dick Clark's new years bash (which we usually flip back and forth from mtv to D.C.'s) sounded boring, and since she and dad are in bed already, I'm watching mtv. Mom will probably come back down later, around 11 or so. That way she can be awake with us for the 'ball drop'.

Speaking of the 'ball drop' .... It annoys me. It's toooo slow. It'd be better if at like, 11:59:59 it would all of a sudden drop down the tower/lines really fast and hit the bottom and then you see a flash of lights! It just seems like by the time the ball hits the bottom (where it says 2003) it should have been over with already. Or maybe I think too much about the ball drop, lol. Yup, probably it.

hello hello.

I've been working on a new template. Besides this Libra one. I don't know when I'll put it up, it's all ready except for the tagboard. Does anyone know how to make the link/text size smaller? The part that says "powered by..., name" etc? lol, that sounds like a really dumb question, since I do know how to change text/link size. just for some reason the tag-board size isn't working. grrr. I made a new blog, specifically to test out templates. That way I don't mess something up on this one, lol.

Ok, I know I promised a nice long rant, but my eyes/fingers hurt. Umm..I'll blog again later, before I go into the yahoo chat around 10-10:30. ok? :)

Yay! My blog has recieved proper first aid, and now it's fixed! Thanks Sandra.

Ok, not much to say now, but I promise a nice long rant later. Or.. a semi long rant, don't know how much time I'll have. :)

My blog has a boo-boo :( Up there ^ But it's working on getting fixed. :)

Ok, there was going to be a new, temporary template. Notice the was. It frustrated me, so I deleted it. I couldn't get the background (outside of the frames) to be black. grrrr. So, you're just going to have to wait until I get the other template up that I originally wanted to put up. I like the new one, don't know if you guys will, but I do :) I just have to wait for the girl from design in reflection to send it to me :) She was pretty fast the first time she sent it (there was a slight mess up, wrong one delivered), so hopefully tomorrow. :)

Time for a blog other than what I did today, eh? Lol, I think I borrowed 'eh' from either arue or amy. I've been saying it quite a bit lately.

Anyways, back to my original blog...

It's day 5 of my school vacation. and I think I'm actually starting to miss it. I mean, I could still do it, it's always there (one of the pro/cons of a 24/7 charter/cyber school) but it's just not the same when you can't go to a chat, or get direct advice from a teacher. I actually like my school. lol, I'm a geek, I know. But it's interesting, for the most part. I like being challenged. I think that's the main reason I want to be a lawyer (other than that I like to argue). As a lawyer I'll constantly get challanged, never the same case twice, whether I become a corporate, contract lawyer, or public defender. variety.

My mom's helping to write up our family tree/book. It's been done before (books being written about my relatives), I guess I have kinda an 'old' family. Old as in prestigious, or something. I could care less, because most of them are snobs, and have never done anything for and/or associated much with my family. Anyway, mom has to write up our names, and put our d.o.b. and such in. There's a catagory for 'other' and I said my mom should put in about our school. I mean, it's a pretty major revolution, it's changing how pennsylvania department of education delivers it's funding to school districts, there's been tons of lawsuits and revocation hearings against it, but so far it's survived. And I (and my bro and sis) was part of that from the beginning. That's something major. At least, it seems it to me. My mom agreed, and said that if I want her to she'll put it in the book. But I changed my mind. Why give these people something to ridicule or find fault in? Because they'd find it, they're just that type of people. I like my school, and that's all that matters. They don't have to know how proud I am of it overcoming it's obstacles. They never gave a whit about us before, and I'm afraid that (if they didn't find fault with it) they'd find some way to take credit for my school being great. Somehow. I'm not sure how, but they would. Sigh.

Anyway, on a more cheerful note, the fridayfive is back! Here's mine for this week...

1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year?

My biggest accomplishment? I don't know, that's really hard. I didn't do anything this year really worthwile. I made a blog! yea, that's it! My blog is my biggest accomplishment, lol. :)

2. What was your biggest disappointment?

My biggest disappointment.... realizing that someone is actually who you know them to be. Sounds strange, I know. My cousin. {See Dec. 25th's blog, last part of it} She disappointed me greatly, because I just had this feeling that she was going to go to this concert with someone else when she canceled on us, and it saddens me that I was right. Yea, I could be making more out of this than what is actually happening, I haven't talked to her yet (not sure that I even want to), but it still disappointed me.

3. Will you be making any New Year's resolutions?

No, because generally if I try, I don't keep them. If I do something worthwhile next year, great. If not, yea well.

4. Where will you be at midnight? Do you wish you could be somewhere else?

Midnight new years? lol. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume... I will probably be at home. Switching between MTV new year's bash, and the normal NBC or ABC NY Ball dropping. Maybe if my parents go I'll go with them to their friend's house, but I doubt it. Doubt that they'll go (cause they always just stay home and argue on new years, sort of a tradition), and doubt that if they did go, I'd go with. I'm not that close with these friends, so it wouldn't be fun at their party anyway. better off staying in the yahoo chat or something, lol.

5. Aside from (possibly) staying up late, do you have any other New Year's traditions?

My parents fight on new years. Or one goes to bed really early. That's sort of a tradition, lol. Sort of a way of clearing the air for the new year, I guess. Other than that... I usually try to take a sip of a new drink. Like wine or something. Just a sip (from someone's glass). I've never had more than a couple sips (besides the one time I drank half a bottle of hooch, very verygood), and I've never gotten drunk. One year I tried champagne, it was HORRIBLE. Cheap champagne, I guess. Very bad. Too alchol-y, not enough actual flavor. I tried some sort of berry wine the other year, that was good. Lol, mom didn't even notice that I was taking a couple sips from her glass. Haha. shhhh. I don't think she's getting anything this year though, so pepsi all around. lol.

Well, my fingers are getting a lil tired now.

new-old template. working on new-new one soon.

Merry Kissmas!

Or Merry Christmas! If you rather. I like christmas because it reminds you that christ is the reason for christmas, but I like the sound of Kissmas too.

So far it's been great. *knock on wood* Yesterday was awesome, no fights, no nothing. We went to my grandparents, everyone had a nice, fun, peaceful time (and most my relatives were drunk, it was funny). I got lavendar & chamomille (sp?) body wash, moisturizer, and bubble bath, plus $10. I was happy.

Today...........

Today I got every single thing on my list. not bad, eh? I even got the harvest moon game, because my cousin deicided he didn't want it anymore since he got a different one for ps2 that he likes better. So he said "merry christmas, keep the game" which was really nice of him. :)

The only downfall of the day so far is that when my grandmother (the one who is in AZ) called, she said how my cousin mandy went to the Aerosmith concert the other day with her dad. The same concert we were supposed to take her to/go with, that she was supposedly so excited to want to go with us. We were talking about it a little while ago, and my mom refused to pay...I forget what the $$ amountr was, but it was like twice the amount for these certain seats than the other ones. Mom said we could go, but only if we got the cheaper seats (because mom would have to pay for 3 people, my sis, me, and my mom). My cousin said ok, that's fine. She was the one who even said about the cheaper seats. Then she called and cancelled (after everyone got all excited about going), saying she had to work. Even though on IM she said not even work will keep her away from it. My mom has even talked to her mom on the phone since, and my aunt said how mandy was sad she couldn't go with us. So my aunt lied too. The concert was this past 19th (of dec.). Grandma calls today and we found out she went with her dad. Apparently she didn't want to go with us as much as she was saying (which is hard to believe, because she thinks my mom is MUCH cooler than her dad or mom- cause she is). Or if she did, she didn't want the cheaper seats. Either way, she told us she wasn't going. I kinda saw it coming. She's like that. I'm really P.O. though. REALLY. And my mom is really really really mad, even more so than me. Next time she comes on Instant messenger, boy is she going to get it!!! Lol, I'm that mad even after I put it through my christmas-forgiveness spirit. I just don't think I can forgive this one that easily, if at all. It was going to be my first concert. Yup, going to be tough to forgive.

Well, Merry Christmas!

We just got back from walmart & Pizza Hut. I got my cd player! the walkman one. Blue. It was the only one they had left for $17, so I was happy we found it. Oh, and I got perfume, because I've wanted some for awhile now and all the kinds I have that I like, I put it on and dad says "who sprayed bug spray?" then he grumbles until I go wash it off. sigh. so this time I made him smell it before I let mom get it. wonder upon wonder, he liked it. well, no, he said "that's not too overpowering" so, that's not technically liking it, but it's not bug spray either. He's not a big fan of makeup/perfume on women in general. At least not enough so that he notices. he's strange. Not that I put makeup on, or that I would, but if I did he'd grumble. And we're getting along well lately, so I don't want to ruin it by putting any on. I told him he's never going to be able to visit me in college, cause once I'm outta here I'm wearing whatever I want. lol.

Christmas eve we always go down to my grandmothers as a sort of family reunion thing. I love my grandmother, and a few other relatives, but the rest I can't stand. Snobs, all of them. They buy big expensive stupid things that they never use (house at the shore, boats, etc) and then complain about how they're broke. duh. idiots. lol, can you tell I don't like them? Plus they think their kids are brilliant, when there oldest is going to put them in debt when he could have went to a much better college, cheaper. Plus he's not all that smart to begin with, and he's not social at all. Not that I am, but I'll at least talk to someone if they talk to me, or if I go away to camp, and someone asks me to hang out with them I will. not him. grrr. yea, he annoys me.

Wow, sorry, I got way off of my original topic. I was going to discuss what I'm wearing tomorrow. My koRn concert-shirt and my jeans. And my boots. And maybe I'm putting florescent red stripes in my hair, haven't decided yet. I wouldn't normally go to such trouble for this, because my grandmother couldn't care less what I wear, but when I got a korn cd last chrismtas eve my cousin danielle said "yuck, that's boys music" meaning that girls shouldn't listen to such things. She loves the Gagstreet and Nstink. which aren't even music, so her opinion means little to me. But even so, I figure this year I'll go in goth-ish (but no black lipstick) in my korn shirt with the freaky kids (kinda like this shirt, but mine is black with orange/brown kids) and red striped hair.

The stripes would be kind of wasted though, because most of the above mentioned relatives aren't going to be there! yay! It'll just be a few of us, as the rest are going to some christmas play for some relative that I've never heard of. even my grandmother's glad, lol.
We got my grandmother a microphone/headphone set so we can actually voice chat over the computer. She wanted one, and since we're giving my grandfather Johnny Cash cds, we figure this way grandfather can just use the headphones so as not to drive my grandmother crazy with Johnny (he listens to in on the computer, they don't have a regular cd player).

Well, I have to go weigh my nickels. Ok, done, I have 17lbs of nickels. that's a lot of nickels. It's only a little bit over 3/4 full too.

lol, I still have my radio on upstairs from when I was wrapping presents, so I guess I ought to go. If I don't blog before then

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like yahoo chatrooms. Particularly the Study Group. Normal chatrooms are filled with idiotic, vulgar people, but the study group actually has a few cool people in. **knock on wood** Granted, there are the occasional perverted idiots, but that's what the ignore button is for. (Tip: If people override it when you put them on ignore, if you add them to your permanent ignore list they can't override it) I haven't been going into the study group lately, because I've been too busy. But tonight I went to bed around 7pm, then woke up around 9, and couldn't fall back asleep. So, I went into the chatroom, where I was entertained for at least the past hour and a half. We didn't really talk about much, but it was cool just to talk to people I haven't talked to before. Not that I don't love talking to anyone and everyone :)
Ok, I had this whole big long post about a certain someone that kinda hurt my feelings (that sounds so pathetic..hurt my feelings) but I deleted it because I don't want everyone to know how truely pathetic I am. :) lol. It just felt good typing and venting, I had to get it out. Now I never have to think of what's-his-face again. yay.

I like my blog, gives me a place to vent and get it out. I could never really do paper journals. I've tried. I got one for christmas for....3 years I think. I've decorated them with my picture, and whatever doodads I could find, in the hopes of inspiring me to write. It didn't work. The only thing I use my paper journal for is if I'm really really really upset, I like to rip up the paper after I'm done writing it. So all the bad karma I wish on people doesn't come true I guess, lol. Somehow using the delete button just doesn't work as well as seeing the paper go into itsy bitsy shreds. It would be even better if I had a paper shredder (hint hint Mom).
Well, it's only 11:43pm, but mom's yelling for me to go to bed, I think I might have to go to work tomorrow. dad said he wants help, early in the morning. yuck. these are the times that I wish I drank coffee. I guess soda and a shower will have to work in helping me wake up. wish me luck, cause I'm going to need it. I'm not really a people person, or an early morning person. I'm not as bad as my mom though. She's pure evil in the morning. haha. She hates being reffered to as dave's wife. "Oh, you're dave's wife" she hears all the time. lol, you can practically see the steam coming from her ears. I on the other hand don't mind being known as 'dave's daughter'. Unless he's being an idiot, then I say 'yes, as much as I'd like to deny it'. But either way I don't really mind. It keeps the creepy men that sometimes are at his work from looking at me too closely. Lol. It's funny, my dad will introduce us, saying "And this is my Daughter" really clearly, as sort of a hands and eyes-off sort of thing. Which is good, because if my dad introduces us to begin with it usually means they're old and creepy anyway. lol. if they're not old/creepy/gross, it's just, yea, that's my daughter heather. no emphasis on daughter. lol.

I just want to clarify something. My mom's insulted. lol. She said between my blog, and my sister's, everyone is going to think she's an evil witch. She isn't. She's actually a really cool, great, loving, caring mom. A little pushy, yells more than I'd prefer, but she's my best friend anyway. I just wanted to clear that up so you don't think she's really evil. only in the mornings is she evil. Give her coffee, and she's fine. lol. I should let her read this, maybe if I kiss-butt enough I'll get my paper shredder. lol, doubtful. very doubtful. she doesn't like the idea of me having endless supplies of confetti.


Ok, it's now 11:51pm, and I said I was going to bed a few minutes ago. I'd better go.

well, I don't have much to say. I should be in bed now, but, obviously, I'm not. There was one thing I wanted to say, but I forgot it...........Oh! Ok, I remembered. I got a pop-up stopper! :) My mom got one through her internet company, and then I went to their website and it said that their customers could download it free, and I clicked the link and it went through! Is that cheating? I guess it could be, because I don't have that internet. But it never said it was ONLY for their customers, and my mom has their internet so she is a customer and I kinda am by default.... oh, wait, I might still be a customer. My school might still have me signed up for their internet, even though we have cable now. I would check, but I can't because I know that our phone lines didn't get turned back on. Our internet possibly, but not the phone lines. But it doesn't matter, cause I have cable internet now, and I downloaded this pop-up stopper anyway. And it works, I went to a few sites that I know have popups, and tested it. Yay!
Ok, So I'd better go to bed now, before my mom hears the click click click of my keyboard and yells. sigh. She always has to wake me up in the morning (if she wants me awake before 9), so I'll be glad when I get my alarm clock, so then I can just set it for 8, and be showered/dressed/ready for the day by 9. yea, well, that's the plan anyway. My clock is one with an actual face (not digital) but it has a backlight so I'll be able to see it at night. I'm really happy that I didn't get a digital one, for some odd reason. This one just seems better because of the face and the light. I dunno.

I'm back.

We did a LOT of shopping. Over 5 hours worth. From before 10am, till a little after 3.

I got my Good Charlotte cd, and I got Tony Hawk 4. I'm happy. I didn't get my walkman, but I got an alarm clock instead, which I needed. It doesn't take much to wake me up, but my mom forgets, so I figured I'd better get an alarm clock. I had one, but I let my dad borrow it and he broke it somehow. Not that I really cared, cause it was an old ugly one. This new one's cute. Oh, and I got my money back for my editted eminem cd, and then at KMart we got the unedited version.

Ok, I'm really really really tired now, so I'm going to go.

hi. :)

Has anyone ever read any books by Nathanial Hawthorne or Washington Irving? My American Lit. teacher said we're going to be reading books by those authors, but I don't know what books. I've never read anything by either of them, but I know I saw the movie sleepy hollow, which is a washington irving tale I believe..(could be wrong). I didn't like sleepy hollow. And I was never really into trying to read 'the scarlet letter', which is a book by hawthrone. She said we'll be reading a book by Hawthorne, Irving, and a few others, and if possible we'll get to Poe. I remember reading Poe when I was younger (the 'translated' version I'm sure, I'm told Poe in its actual writing is hard/harder to read, and since I was only like 8years at the time...). The one with the pounding heart under the floor boards? Something like that. It never scared me, it kinda bored and depressed me all at the same time. Sounds like a cheery year for American Lit, huh? lol. She said we might read Poe, if we get to it. She already has planned for us to read at least 3 books, do assignments on those, before Poe. It's over 1/4 of the way through the school year, so I doubt we'll get to it. Not that 3 books is a lot to read, but my teachers take FOREVER to put up assignments. So far this year in english class I've had a month without any teacher at all, and a grand total of 5 assignments. It's a good thing I have plenty of other classes to keep me occupied.

Tomorrow we're going shopping. Christmas shopping :) I think we're hitting like....5 stores. A dollar store, wal*mart, cvs, a used video game/cd pawn shop store place, and maybe kmart or something like it. Shop till we drop. I love it :)

I made a list! Of stuff I want. It's amazing. I was so happy to think of things. We might be exchanging my 8 Mile cd, cause it's from walmart and edited, and I prefer un-edited tapes. We might keep it, not sure. depends. This is all my stuff I thought of:

• Good Charlotte 'Young & the Hopeless' cd (because I like the lifestyles of the rich and famous song... plus others probably)
  
• Walkman CD player- $17 at walmart in cool colors. My last one was stupid, it skipped and finally broke, so I want another one. I'm going to use it to walk on our treadmill, cause I really should walk on the stupid thing, and it'll be so much easier with good music in my ears. :)
  
• Harvest Moon Back To Nature
  
• Tony Hawk Pro-Skater 4- for playstation
  

I think there was something else, but I can't think of it, and if I only get a few things on my list that'll be enough. I don't need my art kit organizer/box anymore, I used this one book that I have that has a hollow inside. Well, it's like a cheap book, made of cardboard, it doesn't really look like a book at all, but the point is it's a strong sturdy box that I have decorated now saying art kit and with all my art junk in it. It all fit, I was so happy.

I think I'm getting my mom a tweezers. shhhhh! Yea, a tweezers, as stupid as it sounds. She loves to pluck her eyebrows (she once overplucked them, then shaved them off. then she drew them on with an eyebrow pencil, it was funny.) It's like an addiction for her, and I'm always stealing her tweezers for some reason or another (and more often then not they get lost in the vast junky place that is my room, never to be found again...), so I'm going to get her a really sharp, 'proffesional' tweezers that I won't borrow.

Welp, it's almost midnight, and I have to get up before 9am tomorrow so I can go with my mom and sister to hoover's dentist appointment, and on from that...Shopping!!!!!

hoover has a new christmas template :) Picked by her, put on her blog by me, designed by groovylizard.com

I feel like I should have something to say. But I don't. I was just IMing with 2 people a minute ago, and they both deserted me. Sigh. Lol, I'm kidding, paul had to go eat lunch, and my grandmother probably got kicked off of AOL because she doesn't leave without saying goodbye to me first. From 2 to 0 in .01 seconds. But it's ok, I'm going to play a game on the playstation now. Harvest Moon, back to nature. I like it. It does get boring, but it's also kinda fun to see how much you can do with your farm. It's on loan from my cousin, so we have to give it back sometime. Mom said maybe she'll get it for us for christmas. I'd hate to have spent all this time on it then not be able to finish.

Anyway, tomorrow I have a school chat (class: american literature A) at 10am, so I have to be showered by then (because it wakes me up, not because I think my teacher can see through my monitor). Plus, we have plumbers coming to fix something on our heaters, so he's turning off the water AND the heater, so I have to be ok by the time they come. Sometime late-morning/early afternoon. We were going to go to Aldi's after my chat, but that just threw our whole schedule off. grrrr. I like schedules.
well, my turn on the playstation. bye :)

hello!!!!!!!!

I'm so awfully happy. For a multitude (how's that for a word) of reasons.

We got our tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like a 6 footer. Which is bigger then what my parents wanted, they only wanted a 3or4 foot. But this was the smallest they had, or so my dad said. We didn't go with, only dad went. I'd be disappointed, but he only went to the store and bought the tree, he didn't go to like a tree farm or anything interesting. We can't decorate it yet, which is terribly disappointing, we have to wait for my dad to bring home a brace sort of thing for it from his work. I can see it now, we decorate it, and it falls over. Spilling water, and the glass balls my mom is so happy to use (because we're older, and we won't break them, or so she thinks). Our luck, it would fall on the heater, which it is semi-close to. It's not close enough to catch fire though, and it's above the heaters, sitting on a box so we can see it because the tree is sorta behind our couch.

phew, enough about the tree.

My mom's friend Meter (merita) came over today. Her and my mom are best friends, but she lives about 45mins away so we don't see her too often. She stayed for.....SEVEN HOURS. From 1pm-8pm. Now, we love her dearly, and she had a lot to talk about, but 7 hours with any one person is a little much for my family. Plus, we waited to eat until after she left, even though we made it while she was here. So, say we made the food around 7, we didn't eat it till 8. But it was ok. I showed her some christmas pictures, then I got out my photo album (she didn't know us when I was a baby, only from about my 3rd grade+). It's nice to reaffirm your belief that you were the cutest baby ever. Besides her kids. But I saw their pictures, I was much cuter. haha.

Yea, anyway, enough of my yabbering. I did have an actual blog planned, but then I changed my mind. I found a horribly-bad poem generator, I tried to post it yesterday but it didn't work, so I'll try that tomorrow. Goodnight everyone :)

TaDa! It's done! I didn't design it, but it took me awhile anyway. Oh, and if the colors make you blink for a little while, it's all hoover's fault. I gave her a choice between this template and the one I have now, and she chose this bright one. I was actually leaning towards the other one, guess I shouldn't have asked her and just did it. Yea well. I like this one, sorta. Once I got used to it. That's all I have to say right now, I've been working on the template for awhile and mom's kinda mad about that (she said "oh, that was certainly worth working all day on" even though it wasn't all day) so I have to go do other stuff now. I'll blog more later if I can.

Well, Happy Friday the 13th all. It's almost a belated well-wish, but it's not. It's just late, so maybe I should say enjoy the 1 hour 43 minutes left of it? anyway...

my day wasn't exactly happy. at all. I woke up, went to work outside in the freezing weather (we had a heater and it kept us warm but...). In case you don't know, my dad has a flea market business, and he leaves all his stuff out all the time (he has a security guard that watches out for his stuff). Stuff gets filled with rainwater, snow, willow tree leaves (his stand is underneath a willow tree), you name it he has it in his stuff. So that's what we did today, dumped whatever out of ALLLLLLLL the stuff. sigh. My boots got soaked, my nike coat got soaked (not that it matters, my dad got it for like $2 at an auction, no way would I pay $100+ for a coat), I was, in general, soaked. And cold. And I'm just getting over being sick, so my nose was running and I was Miserable.

Then, after that, we went to the car wash and cleaned my car. It's totally stupid, but you have no idea the joy it gives me to see my car clean. I HATE it when my car gets dirty/muddy, which is anytime my dad drives it. He just used it most of last week, so it was REALLY muddy from puddles and whatnot.

We went to the video store. Rented:

Leelo & Stitch

Ice Age

Murder By Numbers

I really wanted to see all of these, so I was/am happy. Leelo & stitch wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, but still funny/cute. Ice age I thought was hilarious. We didn't watch Murder by numbers yet.

We topped off movie watching with my parents fighting, then dad stomping up to bed.

Not exactly a great friday the 13th- except for the movie watching, that was fun. Yea well, there's always next fri 13th.

I don't have time to post much (wash to fold, yuck) but I wanted to let you know of this petition. I found the link on fightforyourrights.mtv.com. Lol, and don't let the MTV part scare you off. I think it's a really worthwhile petition. It's about teaching safe sex in schools. Not just abstinence like Bush wants to teach (browse around the first link up there ^ and you'll see what I mean). Safety first, right? apparently not. I don't think this means that high schools should promote sex, but I think since a really high percentage of teenagers are having sex, school's should at least teach how to protect yourself. Anyway, my mom and I signed this petition, I hope you do to, and if you do, and you want to, pass on the link. Go here: http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/ffyr/petition.htm to sign

:) Ok, I'm done trying to convince you to sign now. Comment, and tell me what you think? Sex ed and not sex abstinence taught in schools? I think abstinence should be taught in schools, but it should not be the sole focus of the sex ed class. Agree? Disagree?

I promised my sis that I'd blog, if for no other reason to tell you that I was, umm, griping (my stand-in word for b****ing) at her for not blogging when I went to all the trouble of putting her on my links. So, I'm writting to inform you that, alas, she has blogged. I don't know what about, or anything about it, I haven't read it yet. But she was discouraged over her lack of comments on her last blog, so she said nobody even reads it so who cares. lol. I told her you don't always get comments, that's why you like them more when you do, but she's 12 and stubborn, what else can I say?

Do you know what you're getting for christmas? I know what I'm getting. Minus a few little surprises that my mom wraps without telling me. I prefer it that way. I don't like to waste money, so if my mom's going to get me something I want to know I'll use it, like it, and/or it's the right something that I wanted. picky I guess. So I go shopping with my mom just about every year. Since I was like......8. I also help pick out my bro and sis's stuff. This year they got to see part of what they're getting too. So far, I'm getting a cd. One. The 8 Mile Soundtrack. I can't think of anything else I want. No, I'm not spoiled, just.. I don't know. I am getting a cd player for my car, but since my parent's want to make sure it's installed right and all, they want to get it done at an actual place. like a stereo place where you buy the stereo they install. Which annoys me, because it'll be like triple the money. But they apparently don't care. So, they're not even counting that as a christmas gift, because it won't be something I can unwrap. I suggested getting me my driver's permit again (it expired, lol) but mom said dad had already promised me that, so that is not a christmas present. She also was adding it up, and provided she spends as much on me as she did the other kids ($100) I have about $73 left. What do I want that will cost $73??? The stereo from walmart (it was like $50) and the permit ($30) would have added up to that. but does it count? nooooooo.
ok, I realize this post maybe made me come off as spoiled. and maybe I am. but I don't think so. Because I don't say "I want that" and get it automatically. I'm not material? Yea, maybe that's it. I'm just not interested in what I see. my options don't interest me, I guess. Plus, the whole gift-giving scinereo makes me feel guilty.


I do have one thing I want. A box for my art supplies. I have a whole bunch of art supplies, pencils, vine charcoal, charcoal pencils, paint, paper, 2 kinds of erasers, and some other stuff. It would be so awesome to have a briefcase-like case to put that stuff in. I like to be organized. Right now it's all stashed in a tin (like the kind pretzel bags or chips come in). A tin with hearts on it. blah.

But, like I had originally intended to say before my fingers started typing without my brain's permission, I LIKE getting to see my stuff early. I hate christmas surprises. surprises in general. spontineity, yes. surprises, no. I'm a very impatient person.
I've known about santa since I was 4 (maybe 5). My cousin told me. So up to the age of 4-5, I have pictures of me sitting on the mall santa's lap looking at him adoringly. After age 4-5, I have pictures of me looking at this guy looking like I'm wondering why I have to sit on some strange guy's lap.

Oh, a little off subject, but I have this amazingly adorable (I think anyway, lol) picture of me when I was little. My aunt and my mom had both chipped in and paid a guy to come visit us dressed in an easter bunny costume. My mom didn't really want to, she didn't think we'd believe him, but my aunt eventually wore her down and she agreed. I was like...4. something like that. This 'bunny' is wearing the stupidest looking easter bunny costume ever. he doesn't even have gloves on, you can see his actual hand. Anyway, my mom snapped the picture at the moment when the bunny came over to see me and my brother. you should see the look on my face. lol, it's so typically ME that it's amazing. I scanned it below, I don't know how good you can see me, but you can at least see how the bunny looks. My mom says I went to her and said "Mom. That 'bunny' has human hands." lol.





I was marvelling the other day at how jaded I was even at such a young age. Mom disagrees and calls me a realist. which I guess I am, but I have a goofy/dreamy side too, so maybe not. I think I'm just jaded. like that aerosmith song (but I don't like that song, so not exactly like it).
What do you think of the whole Santa thing? I don't think I'll teach the myth to my kids. Like, I'll teach them not to tell other kids that he isn't real, but I'll let them know right from the beginning. I just remember feeling hurt when I found out. Hurt that I was lied to, and essentially made a fool of. I guess it's not really like that, I mean, it's cute when you believe in santa, right? but I always felt so bad that I hadn't figured it out. foolish. And I don't want to lie to my kids. unless it's to protect them or whatever. but not if I don't have to. who knows, maybe I'll change my mind. but I don't think so.

This was intended to be a short little blog, to say about hoover's blog, and that I forgot I had to put a link to blogger up, and that it's over there underneath the tag board now. But it grew. and grew. and now I'm taking away the fertalizer. me.

tada! I'm done. I'm also feeling a little better. so all is good. for now. till I decide to change it again. but if my mom gets her way it won't be for awhile (she gets annoyed when I spend awhile in front of the computer, then finally say "the new blog design is done!" for some reason it annoys her that I spend so much time on it. hmm).

I took a shower (not that I don't everyday, but this one seemed to help with my cold more than the rest). maybe it was the peppermint body wash/soap stuff I used. I'm not normally a pepperminty person, but I thought I might as well try it. It's supposed to invigorate you. Well, I don't know if it did that, but it made me stop feeling so sluggish, so maybe it really does work.... or maybe it's the thought of it working. or, maybe it's the Tylenol Cold capsuls I took not too long ago. lol, yep, that's probably it.

After my shower I dressed all nice. Not that I'm going anywhere, but I have an assignment to write an article on stress, and I've been putting it off. I thought maybe if I'd dress all nice, put my hair up, and sit at my computer, it would make me be in the mood to type an article. No go. sigh. It just doesn't seem like that good of a topic. It doesn't 'inspire' me to write. This is the assignment:

Use information from the Web sites to write an article about stress for a teen magazine. Be sure to discuss both positive and negative stress as well as healthy ways to deal with stress. Once you have explored these links and answered the questions, you are ready to write your magazine article. Your article should:

incorporate information from the Web sites in a clear and organized manner.

use language and tone appropriate for the topic and a teen audience.

explain the causes and effects of stress on teens.

identify examples of both positive and negative stress.

provide information about avoiding and/or managing stressful situations.

The part where it says to "use language and tone appropiate for the topic and a teen audience" makes me feel like they want me to 'dumb-down' my article. Use simpler words and such. I find it insulting. Maybe that's why I'm having trouble writing it. I think I'll just ignore that part of the assignment, and just write it as an article, but like I'm talking directly to someone, not just listing facts and whatnot. blah. the whole thing stresses me out. Maybe after I'm done writing it I should read it to figure out how to de-stress myself. lol. complaining about it helps, believe it or not. It's probably annoying the heck out of everyone else who reads my blogs (to find me constantly complaining about an assignment) but it actually helps me so :p After I vent about the stupidity of it I usually just give up and do the assignment.

I noticed the other day I used the word 'stupid' a lot. That angered me a little. Cause I mean, of course I know better words than stupid. My mom actually hates the word stupid, so I spent a good portion of my days (when I was younger) coming up with different words for stupid. I'd better start digging around for those words, I'd hate for anyone to think I have a limited vocabulary. Cause I don't. I actually have a pretty big vocabulary, I just don't use it too often. Maybe I don't want to overuse it? I don't know. But I'm getting the word of the day emails from m-w.com now, so maybe I can actually make myself use the words that I know I know. Just in case you're wondering, today's word is: ab ovo. It means "from the beginning." Kinda strange, but I like the pronnunciation. ab ovo. It sounds like you're speaking a martian language.

On another note, I'm happy. It doesn't take much to make me happy lately. Today what made me happy is that my dad doesn't need a ride home from work, so I don't have to go with my mom to pick him up, i.e., I don't have to go out in the FREEZING COLD. Oh, and another thing is that my mom is making lasagna. Not necissarily lasagna, cause she ran out of actual lasagna noodles, so it's lasagna with shell noodles. But it still has the same meant-sauce-cottage cheese-noodle premis, so hopefully it'll taste good. I don't like cottage cheese, except in lasagna. Just thought I'd state that, in case people would think I did, which I don't. Yuck. I can only eat it because the sight of it is hidden in the sauce/noodle mix.

I can't eat anything that looks gross. Like cottage cheese. or yogurt. Which is bad, because my parent's swear by yogurt. Have a mouth sore? Eat yogurt. Stomach ache? eat yogurt. I cannot stand yogurt. And I mean, my hatred of it goes to the depth that I won't say if my mouth/stomach hurts, just because then they'll make me eat yogurt. I was supposed to be eating yogurt with this cold actually, but I was afraid just the smell would make me sick. Because the sight of it sure does. I"m the only one in my family that hate's yogurt this much. In my immediate family, I mean. My cousins hate yogurt as much as i do. My dog even eats yogurt. Yup, it's true. My dad was eating some, and the dog was sitting patiently at his feet waiting for him to give her the container after he was finished. Which dad did, so there's Gidget with her huge snout/nose covered by the yogurt container. It was funny. and gross.

My mom has been spending the past few days decorating for christmas, and she has this ceramic pond thing, with little figurines of kids skating and playing hockey, making a huge snowball, etc. My mom always makes this big deal out of arranging this thing to her liking, placing each kid where it belongs. Every year I go and mess it up. I put the 'thin ice' sign right next to all the kids on the ice, put the kid rolling the snowball on the hill, so he looks like he'll drop his snowball right on the hockey player beneath him. It's great fun, arranging these things. It's even more fun to see how long it takes my mom to notice. Usually not long, cause I start laughing too much. Anyway, my mom was vaccuming yesterday, and made Gidget get up from her blanket so she could sweep. Gidget walked right over to this pond, picked up a kid from it, and dropped it on the floor (it didn't break, it's harder ceramic stuff). It was soooo funny. It seemed like she did it deliberatly because my mom made her move. Maybe she did. lol.

Wow, what a blog, huh? I think I just about emptied myself of all things I could possibly talk about. Did you read it all? I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, I tend to babble. lol.

ok, done for now. tweaking left. like making the tag board skinnier, but for now I'm done.

going through my templates that I have saved on my computer. some i have saved with just the date. is that stupid or what? I have no clue what they are, so forgive me if you happen to look at my site while I'm doing this and it's something horrible.

ok, I've discovered you can't use my links over there >>>>

Which is stupid, so I'll be looking for a new template. soon. just not right now.

From arue:

what musician(s) do you think has/have had the most influence on music as a whole in the past 5 years? of course under the assumption that britney spears, boybands, and other such artists are just mindless droning pop, and weren't really music to begin with, therefore not counting as musicians. :P

Ok, this is a hard question, and I might be a little bias cause i happen to like his music, but I'm going to say Eminem. Because, I don't remember rap being so mainstream before he came out. I mean, yea, you have bands like Run DMC and all, but I don't think they've reached quite the audiance Em has. I may be wrong, of course, rap may have been 'big' before Eminem came out, and I just don't remember it. But it seems that since Eminem has come out, every person and their dog is suddenly a rapper, and is suddenly getting more airtime on the radios and MTV.

Ok, my opinion could be changed. But as of now, at 11:31pm on Friday Dec. 6, 2002, my opinion is that Eminem has had the most influence as a whole on the music industry in the past 5 years.

What do you think?

Well, I was going to look for another site that offered something similar to the fridayfive, but I didn't find anything in the five minutes I searched. soooooooo......... that's out. so, any questions? I'll answer pretty much anything. ask away, the more the merrier....yea. ok. i'm done being boringly pathetic.

Ok, so I went to BlogSkins.com and got this template. It's a little.....pink. but I'm going to try to think of it as purple. Anyway, I can't get that little " Â " (up next to the date) to go away. Any ideas?? It's driving me buggy.

*****Posted at 8:00******

I fixed it! I got the stupid A to go away! yay! ok. phew. you have no idea how buggy that was driving me.

I'm feeling a little better!!!! Well, a little. I actually went to the grocery store with my mom today. My head still bothers me though, kind of a dizzy/headache sorta thing. but as long as i have medicine for that, and I don't talk, I"m fine. My voice sounds like my normal voice, but froggy. Almost like if you take a finger and stick it on that bump in your throat (voice box? adams apple? but girls don't have adams apples, do they? anyway) and try to talk you sound funny, or at least I do when I do that, anyway, yea, I sound like that, strange. It breaks up a lot. but it's ok.

We got 2 carts of stuff at the store. Aldi's. Most of the stuff in the one cart was cereal and other big boxes. But still, when we got to the counter/cashier, there was a guy behind us waiting, and he seemed perfectly content to wait. We would have let him ahead of us, but we had already started unloading our carts, and this guy had about a half cart himself, so it wouldn't have worked. The lady in the aisle next to us let him go ahead of her, saying "Since it'll be an HOUR until they're done." Now, this is way wrong. Not only is it rude to say that in the first place, but it's wrong because it is wrong. We've been going to Aldi's forever, and we've been packing/unpacking stuff for most my life, so needless to say, we know how to pack groceries. We were done with both of our carts before the lady was even done with her one! hahahahahahaha! I was laughing. Then I told my mom what that lady had said (she didn't heard her say it) and when we were putting our groceries into my car the lady was coming out of the store, so my mom said (loudly) "there, done! And it didn't even take us an hour, did it heather?" lol, I was cracking up. I hate when people are unjustifiably rude. It's just rude. Like my mom says "If you don't have something nice to say, Shutup!" lol.

I'm soooooooooooooooooo sick. :( I even went to bed at 7pm last night. My head hurts, I'm dizzy, my mouth feels disgusting, my throat is sore, etc. I even had a fever yesterday, but that broke around 3am. Even though I went to bed around 7 I don't think I got that much sleep. I kept waking up and it would take me a long time to go back to sleep. Well, time for more medicine. Yuck.

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! My tag-board, I mean. It's all the way at the very bottom of the page. I would put it up more, but there's no room. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, you probably already figured it out but.... the little dots in the images are the links. If you hover over them for a second with your mouse it'll tell you what is who and whatnot.

Well, little Heather has a christmas list about a mile long. a mile long with very small print so as to fit more stuff in. among that list is the Avril Lavigne cd, so I think we're getting her that, if for no other reason then I refuse to buy her any aguilara or spears cds. None of my money is going to those trashy people's pockets. lol.

Umm........ I know I had promised to come up with something to talk about...and I did have topics......but I can't talk about any of them right now. the creative juices are not flowing to my fingers apparently. sigh. maybe later. no, definetly later. check back later for a nice long rant. *crosses fingers (for a wish, not for lying)*

TaDa! I think I'm done. For now anyway. I'm not that crazy over this one, I like it and all but I think it needs more color, so I'll probably be changing it soon, but I'll make sure I know where I saved the html/stuff so if I mess something up like last time, I don't have to hurry to get one up and use a really not-for-me (ugly) blogger.com one. Oh, no tag-board for this one. I wouldn't know where to put it. Nobody used it much anyway, so just use the comments :) Phew, I'm so happy I finally got a different one up than that other one. yuck.
ok, little Heather is over till tomorrow, so I don't have much time to blog. Oh, it's "little" heather because she's 7 years old, compared to my 17, and I refused to be called "big heather" lol. So, I'm hay-you. My dad asked why she calls me hay-you, and she started to tell him, but then she said "Oh nevermind" lol. My dad already knew though, she's been calling me hay-you for about...5 or so years now.

My days are filled with playing 'important' (a game heather made up involving playing on the computer and pretending we're important people at their jobs), playing with homemade play-dough, playing playstation, and telling her how to talk on IM. If you're one of the unfortunate people she talked to, I know it was boring for you, sorry. :) But on the bright side, it made her REALLLLLLY happy to be able to 'talk' to someone on the computer. Anyway, 11:11pm, you would think I could get her to go to sleep. nope. she's sitting across from me at my sis's computer, playing on "Paint" and singing along with Christina Aguilara (sp?) *gag* At least she has her headphones on. be thankful for the little things right? Right?!? Ok, I'm done, I'll have a more interesting blog after she goes home. More time for one anyway.

ok, so, yea. this is it. wow. not. i'm not adding comments and whatnot, cause I'm changing this template ASAP. Unfortunatly, asap is like, tomorrow, hopefully. blah. i'll fix it asap, promise.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and that's all I have to say. :)

Ok, I realize this is probably boring for the rest of you all, but I like taking quizzes. These all happen to have a celestial/gothic/sorta-weird theme to them, but just because those were my results doesn't mean I believe that I am or could be the things.

Lol, notice I said posts and not blogs, cause I don't think they can technically considered a blog cause I didn't really blog about anything in particular. I will though. I have a rant formulating, it's just not out yet. I can feel it churning in my head. beware. lol.

Ok, so I'm bored, and I have some free time....so I thought I'd answer these questions...(stars ***=questions)

***As a police officer you stop someone for speeding. They say they're on their honeymoon and rushing to get to their hotel. Do you give them a ticket?

Yes, I give them the ticket. Well, I guess. For someone to get a ticket from me, they'd have to be going awfully far over the limit (since my mom was doing 85 in my car on the highway and I didn't mind...). But, I wouldn't let them use the honeymoon as the excuse, if they were that hot for eachother they should have just pulled over. lol, that's gross.

***Your favorite ethnic restaurant is fined for exploiting immigrant labour. Do you continue to eat there?

Immigrant as in illegal? Isn't it kinda funny that it just happens to be an ethnic restaurant? I don't know if I would or not...

***You're young and single. A wealthy old coot/widow proposes marriage saying s/he will be dead in a few years and you'll inherit everything. Do you accept?

Nah, I'll be rich on my own account, thank you very much. Plus, knowing my rotten luck if I accepted, the guy would outlive me.

More Saturday Scruples. Oh, there's another link for the same thing, one of them has more questions, not sure which one, lol...

***A relative is dying. She asks for help to die with dignity. Assisting suicide is a criminal offense. Do you help?

Yes. If I'm sure that's what she really wants.

***A friend calls it "the best entertainment in town." He uses a scanner to listen to lovers talking on cell phones. Do you do it?

EEEW! No!

***You're selling your house because of constant noise from the rooming house next door. Potential buyers ask why you're selling. Do you tell them?

I'm selling because of the noise? Doesn't sound like me. Anyway, if it's a constant noise, wouldn't the potential buyers already hear it? I wouldn't have to tell them. Yes, I'd probably tell them. Then I'd pitch my land that my house sits on to a place that needs a parking lot, maybe they wouldn't care how much noise there is.

Well, that was kinda dull. Sigh, I tried. Comment, please! Even if the comments are to just answer the questions. I need to read comments, they're so entertaining and I'm so bored.... lol. i sound pathetic.

Hello peoples!!!!!

I"m back from my lunch with the grandparents, it was great. Hilarious. My grandmother loved the printer we got her (that was her present, I couldn't say it before for fear that she'd actually read my blog). My grandpa was funny. It was/is his birthday today, so my dad told the waitress (when my grandpa wasn't listening) and she brought him balloons. My grandpa wouldn't let my gma tie them to his wrists, so he tried to wrap it around/under the salt shaker. The balloons floated up, and POPPED on the ceiling. 2 of the 3 balloons popped. Everyone in the whole, Crowded, restaurant looked at us, including this one really little (maybe a year old) boy. So, my grandfather gave the kid the remaining balloon. lol. As if that wasn't enough, when it was time to go, he went out the 'emergency exit only' door, and an alarm went off (but my dad and bro were with him and steered him back in the door and out the normal exit). lol. At which point, my gma, mom, sis and I were already walking to the bathroom, so when the alarm went off we walked a little bit faster so they wouldn't think we were with them. Lol. It was fun.

My little sister now has a blog! It's not much, yet, but she likes to talk so maybe it will be. Anyway, check it out, comment, and if you don't mind, give her your link, so she has something to fill her page up with, lol. hooversworld.blogspot.com

Ok, that's all I can think of to talk about for now....

Tomorrow I'm going out to eat with my grandparents. It's my gpa's birthday tomorrow, so we're taking him out to eat. And my grandma, since her birthday was a few days ago. It's a 2-birthdays-in-1-visit thing. Since they live over an hour away. We're going to Olde Country Buffet, which my grandma loves. I've never been. But I like to eat, and apparently you can eat there, so I *should like it. But I'm fussy with my food. Unless we go to a place that's buffet style, I take forever to decide on what i want. because I never really like any of the things on the menu (like, example, I hate grilled chicken, but I love fried chicken, but they normally only have grilled. oh, and i won't eat anything with spaghetti sauce, cause i'm fussy about that too). So, I prefer buffet restaurants.

Gilmore Girls wasn't what I expected it to be. It was still great, just for the sole reason that it was Gilmore, but it wasn't quite up to their usual stuff. At least, in my opinion. And the previews were misleading, to me anyway. I thought Lorelie was going to throw a fit about Rory&Jess, but apparently not, the 'trip' she was packing for in the preview was just a weekend with grandparents, which I did gather from the preview, but I was thinking the weekend with them was cause Lorelie was freaking out, not because grandpa wanted to visit Yale. Sigh. maybe it was just my mistake, and I shouldn't try to interperet (sp?) things before I actually see the episodes. But then why else would they have previews???? Anyway, next week Jess AND Dean go to dinner at the grandparents. WHY?!?!?!? There is no earthly reason that I can think of that this should happen. Grrrr. Now I have to wait allllllllllll the way to next week to figure it out. My mom and I were discussing this, and we think that they should show all the new episodes, right in a row. And then move on to a new season the next week. It'd make it so much easier. I hate suspense. sigh.

Wow, quite an insane-sounding rant. Sorry.

Oh, one more thing before I go, FASTLANE IS ON TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!
Show: Fastlane
Time:9pm eastern (no clue for anyone else, check your listings :) )
Station: FOX
Don't miss it! I want people to watch it, if just for the fact that the ratings stay up, so I can see the rest of the season >:)

Yay! I got my webcam!!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn't have the zoom thing, that I thought it had, but it's still way better than my old one. Not blurry (there's an adjuster for it) and MUCH MUCH MUCH better lighting. We spent 3 hours at Wal*Mart today, Christmas shopping. I got my webcam, and we got a present for my grandma. The rest of the stuff we put on Layaway. On layaway is a gameboy advanced for my brother (the gameboy nut), a dvd player for the whole family, and a bunch of cds for my bro and sis and 1 for me---The 8 Mile Soundtrack! Yay! I'm so happy! Oh, and I sent my stuff off to Australia! Ok, I'm going to go eat lunch now : )

I'm back!!!!! Long day. Great though. My brother and I went to my grandmother's today while my mom and my sister went to a baby shower for my mom's best-friend-from-high-school. Not that we needed babysitters; my grandma lives over an hour away so we don't get to see her too often, and the shower was close to her so we went there. I could have went to the baby shower, but I didn't. I hate showers. Bridal, or baby. Not showers as in cleanliness showers, I love them, so don't worry. Just bridal or baby. Yuck. Too much small talk about a baby we probably won't even see till she's 3.
But my mom and my sister went, and had a great time, it sounds like they had a lot of fun catching up, with actual caring talk, not just small talk. Which makes me kinda wish I would have gone, because it sounds like they had fun, but in the end I guess I'm glad I didn't because I hate baby showers.
Mom met up with all her best friends from high school that she hasn't seen in YEARS. I'm talking years. Like, 20. My mom's 20th high school reunion is coming soon. lol. She feels old. It's funny. She doesn't mind her age too much anymore. She had a huge breakdown when she turned 30. I mean huge. So much so that I remember it. I don't tend to remember things like that. But it was big. Good thing she's over it now. Hopefully. Next time it's 40, yikes.
I had a good time at my grandma's, my cousin was there, Crystalynn. I don't get to see her much. She's 3 or 4. Cute. She's a little behind other kids, because she has autism or something like that (they're not exactly sure) so she's just getting so she'll talk and play with you. It's fun and cute. My mom had a ribbon leftover from wrapping the baby gifts, and she gave it to Crystal. Well, when it came time for Crystal to go home (her dad shares custody with Crystal's mom) Crystal refused to leave the ribbon at my grandmothers. She had to take it with her. She threw a fit when they suggested it. High pitched screams and everything. So, she got to take it home. She's spoiled, and they know it but don't really care. lol. They're just happy she functions the way she does, we're all happy about that.

So, I had fun, and my feet are cold/wet because I wore open-toed sandals outside in this wet weather, so I'm going to go watch tv and dry/warm my feet.
Oh, wait, I just wanna say this one thing. I always thought it was hilarious. I couldn't spell "weather' till just a few years ago. Weird, considering my name's heather and I only have to put the w instead of the h. Strange, huh? Same with feather. I was never sure if there was supposed to be the 'a'. Lol, ok, I'm done.

There's no FridayFive this week. darn. now I have nothing to blog about.

Ok....just remember...you asked for it......

Ok, this is impossible to keep in the exact order it happened, with all the characters and all, so I'm gonna give you a rundown of the main people, then add people like Lane later.

It started off with Lorilie wanting to enter this dance competition that Star's Hollow has every year. It's a 24-hour dance-a-thon, last couple standing wins. Kirk (is that his name? the strange guy...) always wins, so of course Lorilie HAS to beat him this time. The girls go to their usual Friday night at Grandmas, and Lorilie is all excited because she has "the perfect" dance partner. During dinner, she gets a cell phone call saying that the "perfect partner"'s wife won't let him be in the competition because Ms. Patty showed the wife a picture of Lorelie and the wife thinks she looks good and is worried about her man keeping his paws off. Anyway, Lorelie winds up begging, pleading, and begging some more, for Rory to enter with her. Rory finally agrees, even though she had planned to just go and watch the competition with Dean. Instead, Rory goes to the dance with Lorelie, and Dean just sits there on the bleachers watching and occasionally talking to them.
Oh, yea, they're dressed all old fashionedish.

Jess and his 'girl' Shane show up, and just watch. During an intermission, Rory and Dean go off to get food, and Jess & Shane follow. This really irks Rory, and they have an exchange. Jess puts his arm around Shane, Rory puts her arm around Dean. Jess kisses Shane, Rory kisses Dean. Finally Dean gets fed up, barks "Rory get your stuff and lets go" to which Jess makes a comment about how caveman he is. To which Dean replies "You really don't wanna mess with me man" (wow, scary huh? *rolls eyes) Anyway, back at the dance, Lorelie loses the heel off her pump/shoe. She props a very tired Rory up on Dean, and uses her emergency card so she can get off the dance floor. *The emergency card gives one partner 10 minutes off the dance floor, as long as the partner keeps on the floor and moving.* Luke fixes her shoe with glue (apparently really fast drying glue, seeing as how she only has 10 minutes) and they bond, then freak out about getting too close, over the fact that they both want kids someday, with "the right person".

MEANWHILE....on the dance floor....
Rory is very sleepy, propped up on Dean, and keeps talking about Jess. "how can he be with her" "look at them, just sitting there" "what are they even doing here anyway, they're not dancing?!?!?" And Dean gets ticked off. They have this big arguement, with Dean saying he's been kidding himself all along, telling himself that Rory didn't really like Jess, that the feelings weren't there between them. But he's finally had enough. They break up!!!!!! (Jess watched the whole arguement, even participated with his comments sometimes). Rory runs off the dance floor, and to a pier/dock where Jess finds her close to tears. They admit that they have feelings for each other, that Dean wasn't wrong. Right after they admitted that they have feelings for each other, Jess said "I have something I have to do now" and left. I think he was breaking up with Shane, but they didn't show so I don't know.
Lorelie goes back to the dance floor to find Rory not there, and she lost the competition. She's crushed, but then Rory runs to her and starts crying in her arms, so she puts her loss aside and hugs Rory while Kirk runs laps around them with the trophy in his hand to the theme song from Rocky.

On to Lane...

Lane can't enter the dance competition, instead she dishes out 'eggless egg salad sandwiches' to the dancers, and hands out her mother's fliers on the evils of dancing. Her friend from the band (sorry, forget his name....) comes to the snack room where Lane is and admits he missed hanging out with her. Lane's mom comes over, all hyper and demanding to know who 'this boy' is. He charms her by saying he stopped by while his parents were at a Bible reading at their church. He stopped by because he kept hearing people rave about these fantastic sandwiches (that lane's mom made), and he had to taste one for himself. He takes a big bite, and to the delight of Mrs. Kim asks if he can have another sandwich for later. Then he asks if it's ok for him to bring his parents back to try the sandwiches, but if hes' not back in 20 minutes he's sitting on his porch steps waiting for his parents to get out of the church. Sounds complicated, I might not have explained it right, but he ends up charming Mrs Kim.

Paris...

Paris's friend from when they went to D.C. over the summer, contacts her and they go out to coffee. Paris has such a good time with him, that she is fine when Rory reschedules the 75th anniversary issue of the newspaper meeting. Surprise to everyone, since the two girls (forget their names....) had asked for the day off and Paris freaked out on them (but that was BEFORE the date).


Ummm....Suki and Jackson had a fight, but it was resolved before the end of the episode. Sorry, I'm slacking off on my details, but my fingers are tired. Hope thats enough.

---

Oh, the preview for next week showed Lorilie saying they were going away, she doesn't want Rory to date Jess (horrible, horrible Lorelie. and I used to like her. grr).

---

Ok, I'm done tweaking. For now. This was on blogskins.com but the 'author' didn't put in any copyrights or things saying to keep their link in (they didn't even Have a link). Do you think it matters that I changed the fonts? I hope not. If it does I guess I can always just change them back, or use a different template. But I like this one. :)

Gilmore was great last night. I stayed up till 1am working on this blog. Well, actually, I stayed up so I could wake my dad for work, but I was actually working on this till 1.

Ok, this needs tweaking, but for now it's done.

Hey Bridget,

I really really do like this template, thanks for designing it for me. But, as you can probably tell due to the amount of time I've actually been a blogger and the amount of templates I've had, I get bored with my templates quickly... Would you mind if I changed it? I have a new one that I thought was interesting and I'd like to change it. You won't be insulted though, will you?

I got my koRn shirt from my cousin today :) Well, rather, I got the shirt from my dad, who brought it home from his work where my cousin dropped it off, for me. It's cool, I like it. It's mainly black, has this light brown/tan picture of all these freaky little kids on the front, and on the back it says "the pop sux tour" with their tour dates. :)

There was something else I was going to ad to this blog earlier, but I forgot it. I did most my school, 3 art assignments to go and 1 math. That's it. Oh, and my family lost our cable/tv remote. Can't find it anywhere. We looked under the sofa, chairs, under all cushions, in the kitchen, we searched the whole house. We keep looking at the dog and debating whether she really would eat it. I don't think she would...but we can't find it anywhere. hmm. It'll turn up. hopefully.
Ok, can't think of anything interesting to say....

Ok, so nobody liked my show review, huh? Ok, no more show reviews for me. Except...well, nevermind. It's been awhile since I blogged, but not actually cause I did do the fridayfive, but they didn't go through. I have school to do, that I don't want to. And I'm sitting here in a long sleeved shirt, and am feeling a little dizzy cause it's stuffy in here. Guess I should go change, but that would involve going all the way upstairs to my room, and I don't feel like it right now. Rather, I'm just going to complain about the weather.
Does anyone else have this bad weather? It's been rainy/miserable for the past few days, and they're calling for rainy and miserable for the next few days. It wouldn't be so bad if it rained steadily, but all we have is overcast days with really light rain every once in awhile, barely enough to get your car windshield wet if you're driving. sigh.

Speaking, or rather typing, of driving, my dad's going to take me driving sometime. I have to get my license by Nov. 27th, and I need to take my test a week before that so if I fail or something I can take the test again without having to renew my permit. So, dad's taking me driving. Sigh. I don't like driving on the roads that much. Too much thinking involved. I always have trouble turning/taking corners, and since I live in the city, I really have to work on that. And I need to learn to parallel park. I know how, I've done it before, but I definetly need more practice. The driver's center guys are really fussy about parallel parking. My cousin's back tires touched the curb when she was parking, and that was it. End of test, she failed. No retries for parallel. so, I'm a wee bit nervous. Plus, I think you have to ride with a cop. I don't like cops that much. in general, I mean.

Well, I really do have a ton of school to do, so I'd better go. Comment, please. : )

I did 8 hours of school today! yay for me! Yea, anyway..

I watched Fastlane yesterday, great great great show. And I'm not only saying that because they show the guys bodies as much as the girls (which is a rarity on shows these days...they even showed the main-guy- character's butt! gasp!). It's on FOX on Wednesdays at 9pm. Well, 9pm for me, maybe different time for others. It's a great show. Fast cars, undercover cops... Sounds typical right? Well, these undercover cops don't really have to follow the rules that the normal cops do, they have a whole ware house sorta thing that has cars, money, etc that they can use to help be undercover. It's a little racy though, so beware. Ok, I'm not doing the show justice, you probably think it's stupid from what I just wrote, right? It's soooo not. It's tied with Gilmore Girls for fav. show, but not really because they're 2 totally different shows. And I really like fastlane for the fact that the storyline that they start one Wed. gets finished during that hour. No more waiting till the next week to see them save the day. All wrapped up in one action packed hour. Sigh. Only 6 more days left till it's on again.... too long. sigh.

I don't really have anything to talk about. Besides my glowing report of Fastlane, I mean. Great show. Watch it and let me know what you think..please. But don't only watch the first 10 minutes of it then turn it off, cause you'll be confused and won't be able to get the whole 'experience.' you have to watch the WHOLE episode. sigh. I love that show. And Van's kinda hot (little old for me though...). Ok, that sounded really shallow, but that's just one of the perks of the show, I promise :)


Wow, ok, Obviously I have a show on my brain, so I'll say bye now and stop talking about it....try to anyway.....

Ta Da!!!!!!!!! It's working it's working!!!! Yay! I even added the comments (so now you can all comment on the design) and changed the tagboard, and it's still working! wow. I guess I owe a real blog now, huh? Well, at least a blog other than a blog consisting solely of 'testing....' and 'it's working'

Ok, this'll have to be short cause Gilmore Girls is on in 10 minutes. It doesn't look that interesting, Lorilie (sp?) once again gets jealous of Chris's new wife, but it's G.G. so I'll watch it anyhow.

Do you realize how sick I am of strawberries? No, of course you don't, cause I didn't tell you about how many we have yet :p On Sunday my dad brought home 8 FLATS (with 8 of those wire/green packs of strawberries in a flat). Granted, some were rotten, so we had to get rid of them. Mom went through them all, gave one flat away, and froze the rest. We now have 2 different kinds of shortcake bread/cake stuff, 5 cans of whipped cream, and 1 tub of cool whip (for me, I hate whip cream but love cool whip). We're all going to look like strawberries. He also brought home 8 watermelons, but my mom said they didn't taste good, and trashed them all. I would have been mad cause I like watermelon, but they didn't even look all that good.

hmmm.......6 minutes to go and me with nothing to say....

Tomorrow I'm going shopping. Again. I used to love shopping, but this is pushing even MY limits. We went grocery shopping yesterday, did major shopping at 2 grocery stores. Tomorrow we're going to BigK(mart) to maybe put stuff on layaway for christmas, and to get me boots. I only have sandals to wear, which is fine for now cause I hate wearing shoes so I prefer sandals, but once it snows I'm going to want something other than open-toed sandals.... And I saw these really cute black boots that have this black and white flannel-like material at the top. Oh, and we might go to walmart because I saw this great little webcam there for $17, and my mom wants to get it for me since she feels like she didn't spend as much on me for my birthday (she got me an eminem cd off of ebay) as she did for my brother on his birthday. I told her how stupid that was. But she insists, and since it gets me the camera I'm not going to complain too much. The one I want has a zoom feature, which my other one doesn't have, I have to set it really far away from my computer in order to get a picture that isn't looking up my nose..... AND it has a stand. Which might not sound like much, but I broke my old stand, and after days of smelling like that nasty epoxy after trying to glue it back together and then just settling for setting it in a tea cup and propping it up with an eraser and a pack of tictacs....a stand is a big plus. Wow, 8pm. :)

***Continued...9:03pm***

Forget what I said about Gilmore Girls, it was great, I loved it. Totally hilarious. Why would green be the new pink? That reminded me of the movie "Josie and the PussyCats." Granted, I don't like pink much, but it is considered the girl color, at least for babies. And that thing with the protester, I so want to know what he was protesting. And the devil eggs! Ha, that had to be the best part. Hilarious. It has restored my faith in G.G. (the name of the baby, and the initials for the show...coincidence?). And I can't wait for next week...I like Jess so much better than Dean. But I'm afraid, like it normally does on these shows, that as soon as Rory and Jess start dating, they'll lose their sarcasticness, and turn all lovey-dovey and dramatic. sigh.

Remember how I said we had 5 cans of whipped cream? Dad just finished off 2 cans. He gets these huge plates of strawberry stuff, like, a regular size dinner plate, and then swirls the whipped cream completely on top of it all. Makes me sick just looking at him.

Ok, I think I'm done now. Did you read it all? Comment, please!!!! There should certainly be enough to comment on...at least something...

lol sorry about all the tests, the layout wasn't working on Alien's computer. It turned out it was the dashed borders, and when I took them out it worked for her... Strange.

Anyway, Alien is putting in the comments and changing the tag board colors now, so I'll get out of her way...

testing.................

Ta da! (yea, I guess that's my catch phrase now) Isn't this template cool? It's Blue :) And it's all thanks to Bree!!!!

Like the new layout I made for Alien? :) I'm a guestblogger now, too, as you can see. I actually like the layout I made for alien better then mine... :) lol

I'm going to edit a little bit more right now...

Working on it again..... maybe......

Ok, I tried to do the template, I really did. I want a blue one. And I was just going to use the blogger ones, cause I figured that would be easier. Boy was I wrong! So, for now, I give up. I was in the mood to work on my template, but now I'm not. grrrrrrrrr. Maybe tomorrow. I really want some sort of blue one. sigh.

AAAHHHHH! I broke the streak! I woke up at 10 today! How sad. Ummm.... how about... it's a sunday, a day of rest, so it's ok? Tomorrow I'm waking up at 7ish again. Hopefully. I have to start taking vitamins, cause I've been really tired lately, and I don't think it's just because I've been waking up early. My mom says I need iron. Which makes sense, cause when my mom was pregnant with me she had too low of iron. And when she was around my age too. So, nasty tasting vitamins for me. blah. Ya know I can't say iron? It comes out I Ron. how it's spelled. Instead of eye-ern. I also can't say aluminum. well, sometimes I can. Most the time it comes out funny though. When my sister was little she pronnounced 'balloon' as bal-la-la-loon. It was so funny. And she still says misterpeared instead of disappeared.
I'm thinking of changing my template again. I'm bored. I'll only change it if I can find one I like a little better. I dunno. I never change my archive templates, as you might have noticed. I like looking back to see what background I had when. Ok, going to look for a template now, so if you visit and it's all messed up, that's why.

TaDa! I'm awake at 7:36. I've been awake since 6:49 Wow. I've been waking up around 7 for the past week or so. Don't know why. Well, that was boring, but it's going to have to stay that way cause I have to get ready to go to a dentist appointment for my sister, then shopping. adios.

Here ya go, a very non-descriptive FridayFive:
1. Were you raised in a particular religious faith?
Yup, Christianity.
2. Do you still practice that faith? Why or why not?
Yes. But I kinda molded it to what I think it means.
3. What do you think happens after death?
I think a portion of you goes to heaven, and you get reincarnated. I don't know, too hard to explain on here right now, with all this candy still in my blood.
4. What is your favorite religious ritual (participating in or just observing)?
I don't like religious rituals in general.
5. Do you believe people are basically good?
Yes. Basically. Most people.

Hi all. I just thought I'd give you guys a link to my Halloween Pic. This is just my face in make-up, you can't see my dress or anything, but it's just plain black. Long sleeved, etc. My hair's a little darker on the pic, and it doesn't look quite as messy as it did when I actually answered the door for the weeners. But anyway, that's me in my halloween getup.
It was a lot of fun, we got lots of treaters. Tons and tons of fun, we almost ran out of candy to give out though! That would have been a disaster.
My brother put a mask on and sat really still on a chair outside, then when the kids walked by he'd yell "ARGH!!!" and scare the kids. Fun scaring though, not actually frightning. All the kids were laughing after they got over the initial heart stop. The one boy was about 6, and he said to me "Man, who was that?? He scared the bejeezes out of me!!!" and his sister that was slightly older, looked all smug at her brother and said "He didn't scare me." Lol. Fun fun.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My favorite holiday. You should see my makeup. It's great. Pale pale pale face, with Red lipliner with black lipstick on top, and my eyes are smokey black. It's really cool looking. My mom said I look evil if I glare. yay! I don't want to be evil, but it's cool looking it on halloween. :) I've been ready for half an hour already, and it doesn't start till 6pm. sigh.

Ok, this is sort of an out-of-the-blue question, because I'm not and/or have no plans to redecorate, but if you could design your bedroom- your own room, not sharing with anyone (unless you want to), any size room, any color, money no object, as many or little windows/doors as you want...- what would it look like?

I have 2 rooms I want:

My one room would be blue and white. Like a really light, ice blue walls with lots of white accents. Or, really light purple/lavendar with white accents. I can't decide. hardwood floors. The room wouldn't have to be big, umm... a little larger than medium. Just enough so it looks 'light and air-y.' I want a huge bed, maybe with a canopy, or maybe an antique bed. LOTS of long windows. And french doors leading to a patio/balcony that overlooks my garden. Lol, ok, fantasize much? Basically, it'd be simple, clean, airy, and you'd walk into it or lay on the bed looking around and go "Ahhhhh it's so peaceful"

Ok, now for a complete twist:

My other room choice, black. Black walls, metal/chrome/glass accents. Lots of green plants. Weird painting/designs on the walls. This room would only be huge, because I want to put a black sofa in there too. Black sofa, glass/metal coffee table, metal lamp (for reading) and a black rug, make up the 'living area' I want incorporated into the room. The bed itself would have to be huge too, because I like big beds, they look cool. And I want one of those screen things, that is made up of those \/\/\ bendy things, if that makes any sense. the ones you can change behind. Anyway, a really weird one of those. dark hardwood floors, with the black rug for the living area.

Oh, and each room would have to have a huge bathroom connected to it, just for me :) Either light lavendar, or the one on that new Lowes commercial. If you didn't see the commercial, it's huge. and dark green, with white stuff. I don't normally like dark green, but this bathroom was huge and looked cool. So, either that, or lavendar. I don't think I'd want a tub. I'm not a bath person. Maybe I'll just put a jacuzzi in my heated pool (the one next to my garden). lol.
I think I watch too much Trading Spaces. Ok, please comment and say what your dream room would be :)

Ok, good news or bad news first? Well, since I already said it on my tagboard, I'll say it again anyway cause it's my blog and I wanna :p lol. Anyway, good news is I have the new commenting service thingy and hopefully it'll work better. bad news is if you commented at all, anytime (at least, I think anytime?) it was lost. Sorry. You could always recomment though :) Well, I'm going to try out the smilies in my comment thing, I wanna see if they work or not.

Grr. Maybe I should find a new free commenting service. The one I have doesn't work half the time. Unless half the time normal ones dont work, and mine is normal then? I dunno.

Hall, I added your link. :)

I'm feeling MUCH better today. 100x better. Hopefully it'll last.

I need something, nonpersonal, to rant about. any ideas? lol, my problem is, I can't think of anything. It's not that I can't type, or talk incessantly, I can. I can't spell worth beans, but I can type, lol.

Oh, guess what! They have cinnamin tictacs in Austrailia! That's such a good thing! I was worried, cause I was only going to send him 3 packs, and then when he ran out he'd go through cinnamin-tictac withdrawl. That would Not have been good. This makes it sound like I love tictacs, which I don't really. I just hate it when I get used to eating/drinking something, and I can't have it any more. Like, if someone eats the last cookie. Yikes. I'm not going to think about that. We still have cookies left, so no thinking about that.
Ok, I'll try to post something a little more meaningful, or at least half interesting, later.

I have a headache. a huge one. and my eyes are all dry. this stinks. my dad and I just had a fight, which is why I have a headache and my eyes are dry (yea, I cried. it's rare, but I do do it). huge fight, in which I actually yelled. contrary to popular belief, I don't yell much. it's been about....4 years since my dad and I had a huge yelling fight. nothing physical, ever (I just wanted to clear that up, lol), just yelling. good thing our neighbor's half deaf and needs a hearing aide that doesn't work right half the time. i'm still mad, he's probably still mad but he's sleeping so i don't care, fights over. good thing too, cause I'm hungry, and I can't eat when I'm upset. so now i'm back on my computer and trying to forget my huge headache.

i'm also watching 'Pretty Woman' with Julia Roberts. good movie. I only first saw it about a year ago. I love the part where she returns to the snooty store. I don't want to ruin it, in case there's somebody out there who hasn't seen it. but it's great. not the whole movie, it's a little slow at some points, but overall it's a good movie.

I made chocolate chip cookies. yumm. well, sorta yumm. they didn't get soft, which is how I like them. but they're really good fresh warm from the oven. too bad I made them this afternoon. I could use a warm cookie right now. are they microwaveable? lol, kidding, I don't think that would taste too good...

Did you ever have a really weird dream? One you can find no explanation for whatsoever? Thats how I dreamed last night. I don't normally dream, but I did yesterday. The dream I remember most, the one my mom woke me up from, I was with my cousin Mandy, and I must have slept over cause she was bringing me home. But we weren't going right home, we were going to go out and do a few things before she brought me home. I don't know what those things were, but anyway... We stopped at a fast food restaurant, and I used a cell phone (I don't know who had the phone either) to call my house. I went outside the restaurant to get better cell reception, and I was dialing while I was walking towards the car so I could sit in it and talk. I couldn't remember my phone number. I dialed every number I could think of. Then I got to the car, sat in it, and it started hailing outside. That's when I remembered my phone number. So I talked to my mom, told her I was coming home today but not right away. Then my cousin and I went to my grandmother & grandfather's house. My grandfather was there sitting on a chair, with a cat on the arm of the chair. This is weird for 2 reasons, the first being my grandfather died around the beginning of Dec. last year, and 2, he didn't like cats and even if he did my grandmother wouldn't have let one in the house on the furniture. Anyway, I had to go around his chair because I didn't want to knock the cat off of the arm of the chair, and my grandfather laughed. Then my grandmother came out and asked me if I would help her put the laundry through the washer/dryer, she needed the help because she had "37 towels." Then I woke up. Why would she be doing 37 towels??? I doubt she even has that many towels!! The whole dream was weird.

Ok, that's it for my dream. I have a chat on Tuesday for my History class. When I was in a chat last week they were talking about what time we should make it. One kid is a fireman and has work at the time we were going to have it (1pm) so they changed the time around. Normally I'd be fine with it, but they changed it to 8:30AM. I am NOT a morning person, can't function, can barely stumble to the shower. 8:30 means it'll actually feel like 7:30 with the time being put back. Which, if going by the 8:30 time, means I'll have to be awake by 7:30 to be able to fight over if I can have a shower (there's usually 3 people up by then, alternating the shower, then plus me...), then around 8 I'll have to drink a heck of a lot of soda to wake up.... and chat at 8:30. My teacher gave me permission, since I was complaining, lol, to not comment during the first few minutes of the chat so I can wake up. I'll be fine then. Hopefully. It still stinks though, 8:30 isn't even normal school hours. yea well......

I normally stay awake till 1 or 2am on my own, without being told to stay up that late. But whenever my dad asks me to wake him up, 1am seems like it takes forever to get here. And I'll be soooo tired by the time I stumble up to bed, but then when I get there I just read for another hour or so. I'm strange. I didn't go to sleep last night till 3. maybe that's why I had those weird dreams.

wow, this blog was strange, huh? I kinda rambled on about.... well, nothing really. just rants? I don't know what to call them... anyway... I guess I"m just in a ramble-ish kinda mood today....

TaDa! Done! Well, hopefully anyway. for now. I like it so far....... don't know how long I'll like it, but for now I do. What do ya'll think? I'm going to bed, it's 12:30 am on Sunday, and I was supposed to stay up till 1 to wake my dad up so he can go to work (I'm his alarm clock, even though my mom just got him a new actual one), but he just yelled down the steps that he's going to sleep till 3am, so I can go to bed. But I can hear him in the shower..... so I wonder if he's going back to sleep or not?!? lol, nevermind, I don't really care. I'm going to sleep, I know that much. i'd better, before I fall asleep on my keyboard, like I will on Tuesday since I have a chat at 8:30am. more on that tomorrow...today? when I wake up.

Ok, I'm working on the template now, forgive me if I mess something up.......

I really should change my template. I don't like it that much. The problem is, I don't know how to design a template for myself, which means I have to search for one. Maybe I'll do that later, there's some cool ones on this one site that you have to unzip, but then the pictures wouldn't load. darn. anyway, I can't do that now, it takes too much time and i have to fold my wash, and then bake chocolate chip cookies that I promised my mom I'd bake. Since she's sick, I'd better keep my promise. or she'll get cranky. *shudder*

FridayFive:
1. What is your favorite scary movie?

Umm, well, as Arue and Mystic said, movies don't scare me. I can never get that involved in them. Well, they can sometimes make me cry, but only when it relates to something happening in my life. Maybe I've never been scared in a movie cause I've never had some psycopathic killer chasing me aroun? Well, if that's the reason, keep it that way. I'd rather not get scared at movies. Or, the reason could be because during the whole movie I'm laughing at the cheesy plot. Or cause I always think "It's only a movie"

2. What is your favorite Halloween treat?
Chocolate? Carmello bars? hmmm... I don't go trick or treating anymore, so I dont' know.

3. Do you dress up for Halloween? If so, describe your best Halloween costume.
The absolute best was the first year I went as a goth, because it was new then. Well, I didn't actually go OUT as a goth, cause my dad thought my outfit was too sexy and wouldn't let me out of the house in it. So I went as a weird clown thing. Basically I just went wearing the ugliest outfit I could find. My goth costume wasn't sexy, at least not in my opinion, and not intentionally. It had a design like a necklace but it was sewn in, of droopy glass beads that made the dress look fancy/freaky. It had slits at the shoulder so the long sleeves only hung on by about an inch of material (you couldn't see the inch) and it was a long-ankle dress, and had a slit to.. my knee! gasp! How dare I want to go out like that! I still get mad thinking about how he made me change, and the HUGE argument we had over it (my dad and I were SCREAMING at each other) even though it was 4 years ago now...

4. Do you enjoy going to haunted houses or other spooky events?

Umm, I've been on a haunted hayride....and I've been to an amusement park haunted house. I didn't like either, not cause I got scared because I didn't, but I just didn't like them. I like to be able to see, and those places are always dark. Plus, what's the big deal about somebody in a mask? It just gives the guys wearing the masks too many opprotunities to grab you. lol, I'm not very trusting of guys in costumes.... or guys in general, lol....

5. Will you dress up for Halloween this year?

Yup, as a goth. Same as the last 4 years. Except I might have to find a different dress this year, the fancy/freaky one is getting short. It's now calf length, and looks funny. But, still a goth. Hopefully we'll have more weeners (trick-or-treaters) this year, last year we only had 3, but we moved and are actually IN a town now, so hopefully...
