December 28, 2004 - Christmas Eve was fun. It was at my aunt's house this year. I had to leave my tamagotchis at home because I couldn't find them. I was pretty sure they would be dead but there wasn't much I could do. Luckily they were just clinging to life when I got home. At my aunt's house, all of the kids were upstairs playing Gamecube or playing with their presents and all the parents were downstairs playing poker or just chatting. I was upstairs with the kids of course. I'll never grow up. I ate like a million pounds of crab dip and got good presents. Can't beat that. On Christmas we got all of our presents from our parents, and everyone else that we didn't see yesterday. I was very happy with my haul. My grandmom and pop pop got me a 19" TV, a DVD player, and a huge desk to put everything on. I also got the Family Guy Volume 1 set from my mom and Futurama season 1 aunt and uncle. I got Love.Angel.Music.Baby from my mom along with the Victoria's Secret Opulent Angels gift set. My sisters really liked their presents from me. I got Kirsten the New Guy and Ellie Napoleon Dynamite. The other day I slept over at Swan's house with Kirsten. We watched the New Guy and played a crap load of video games. Then we went to see Ocean's Twelve which wasn't as good as the first but it was still entertaining. After that I went to Jessica's house. We played DDR for a really long time (not long enough though) and when everyone got there we opened presents. Nicki got me so much stuff. She got me Elf, a Family Guy calendar, a Family Guy set with pins, a patch and a sticker, a Santa pen, coal candy, and Fairly Oddparents candy canes. I really liked everything. Today we went to Cow Town. I didn't like it at all. I really wanted to go home. So did my dad. We ended up waiting in the car for a really long time while everyone else finished shopping. I'm not going back there again. December 12, 2004 - Yesterday sucked. I was out from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm. First stop was JV practice which went remarkably well. All of the groups made a lot of progress. One of the groups was even doing walk in single bases. I was so excited. Next stop was Nicole's birthday. It would have been more fun if I wasn't starving and incredibly tired. I just wanted to go home. After that we went right to our practice. Shannon still wasn't there so we didn't get to practice. We did a crap load of exercises and stuff instead. Yay. After that we had to cheer a girls basketball game. It was not fun at all and hardly anyone was there. It was just ridiculous. We all wanted to go home and we hardly cheered at all. I'm so glad all that crap is over. Today wasn't so great either. Nicki and I went to the mall but I didn't get anything for either of my pollyannas and both my sisters know what I'm getting them. Plus, I still have to make a freakin' "quoster". I'm gonna flip out! December 5, 2004 - Today
was ok. I finished my grandmom's Christmas card and I'm really happy with
it. I think I'll upload a copy of it to my deviant art account but not
today. I decided to try my hand at airbrushing with pretty good results. Kirsten found me a really bad picture of myself from like 7th grade. I look like crap. That's the perfect kind of picture to airbrush. I got rid of my pimples, gave myself make up, and then I just put that purple background. I kinda went nuts. My sisters were so impressed they want to send out a Christmas card with us on it and they want me to airbrush it. It was fun too. I can't wait to make our card. SIDE NOTE: I put a bunch of quotes from Venture Bros. on my quotes page. I know that I'm the only one that watches it but whatever, the quotes are there anyway. December 3, 2004 - Yesterday's practice didn't suck! It was truly a miracle. We got a lot done, we learned our elite sequence and no one got pissed. Hopefully, our next practice will be just as good. Afterwards, Tricia let us out early so we could go shopping at the Christmas Bazaar. My mom said that Brittany's mom was kicked out by the police for selling purses. We are almost positive that someone tipped them off. We don't know who but we have some pretty good guesses. I didn't get too much stuff. I just got a really cool carved candle that is black with pink flames and a pink Eagles sweatshirt. Also, at the raffle table, one of the prizes was a set of beanie babies: Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward. I wanted them so bad. I put in $5 worth of tickets and I was feeling pretty confident because not a lot of people put tickets in for that. My grandmom put in one ticket and Brittany Linker's boyfriend put in $5 worth too. I was pissed because I really wanted to win. If he won I was gonna kill him. Tricia picked out the winner for that one. She gave be a sad look when she picked out the ticket because it wasn't me. It was my grandmom! She put in one ticket and she won! I was so happy because she gave them to me. Out of sheer boredom I decided to count all of my Spongebob stuff. So far there are 40 things on my list that I currently own. That is unhealthy. SIDE NOTE: I added some new quotes on my quotes page. November 26, 2004 - Today mostly sucked. It had one good moment during the whole day and then it sucked again. First, I had Champ Camp which was the low point of my day. There were 11 kids and 18 cheerleaders to watch them. We usually have like 60+ kids. By 11 they had taught the girls everything so everyone just started putting each other up in preps, and dropping each other and showing off. I was so pissed I just went home. Cheerleading sucks this year. I am so sick of everyone's crap. If I didn't like being a cheerleader so much I would quit in a second. It was more fun last year. This year it is terrible. I was fooled into thinking it would be good after camp but now I come home from every practice absolutely miserable. Nobody cares at all. Everyone just slacks off and wastes time at practice. Everyone wanted to go to Nationals but they really don't act like it. If we were going to regionals we wouldn't even be close to ready. The only good part of today was going to see Spongebob with Jessica, Melissa, and Nicholas. It was a lot funnier than I thought it was going to be. Then we got ice cream at Cold Stone. On the way home me and Jessica had to run into CVS and buy Pepto for Nicholas. We got the biggest bottle we could find and went up to check out. The cashier was some kid from our school who was probably wondering why we just stopped by to buy a giant bottle of Pepto and nothing else at 5:00. It was funny. Once I got home Ellie proceeded to make me miserable for the rest of the night. I seriously wanted to kill her. Literally, not figuratively. I just had enough misery for one day. November 24, 2004 - Man, I'm the worst updater ever. I wanted to write about my birthday and stuff but I forgot. Anyway, My birthday was really fun. The Incredibles was really good. I liked it a lot. When we got back we watched Kelly's Homestar DVDs which everyone liked. Then we had cake which was also good. Then I opened presents that were great. Sorry for being so vague but I don't think everyone wants a play by play account of a party they were at. I redid my list again. This isn't really a final list or anything. There are plenty of other things that I would like. Well, that's all for now. November 14, 2004 - Yesterday
was my family birthday party. It was really fun too. I played the Sims 2
with Swan and I let him "make" a family. I use the term loosely
because I actually made the family and he just told me what he wanted. I
made him change some stuff because he had some dumb ideas. If I left
it up to him the dad would be a guy who looked like Elvis named Carlos
Payne. We ended up naming him Rex and making him look cooler and he is
married to Zoe Payne from SSX 3. They have 3 kids too. --Paintshop Pro 9 and
Animation Shop November 10, 2004 - Yesterday was my birthday. It was actually pretty good for most of the day. Nicki and Jessica decorated my locker and it looked really cute. I also got Paint Shop Pro 9 and a computer chair for my parents and grandparents. Things didn't start going
downhill until cheerleading practice. After practice, I was so incredibly
pissed and upset that I just burst in to tears as soon as I got in the
car. First of all no one was allowed to stunt, which wasn't even the worst
part. I couldn't have stunted anyway because Val wasn't there. Today was slightly better. I made a poster for our Christmas bazaar for mom with Paintshop Pro. This is the little cheerleader I drew for it. It looks a little weird here because I had to shrink it. I plan on putting this and a few other things on my deviant art account. I stole the scanner because no one uses it in the basement anyway. I really want to put my Nerds picture on so hopefully I'll get it back soon. Jessica and I were being weird and trying to plan out an elaborate death for each other that could be made into a physics problem. I was acting the situations out with an eraser with Ninja drawn on it. Then I threw Jessica's eraser under the desk. It was fun but it proves once and for all that I will never mature. Speaking of that, I can't wait until my birthday party. Invitations coming soon. Hopefully. Side note: Please excuse any grammar and spelling errors. I think my brain is going because I spelled so many things wrong lately. Just ignore it. October 30, 2004 - Yesterday was senior night which was fun and sad. The underclassmen on varsity had to do a scavenger hunt that involved a different stunt for each senior football player and cheerleader. The thing they had to do to me was grab my butt and say "oh baby". It was really funny and all the girls got really into it. The losers had to have the seniors' names written on their faces for the game and the winners all got two rubber balls and we told them all "You've got balls". It was really fun. We had the dinner at our house too. Everyone got a ton of presents. At the game everyone wanted to cry when we were going out onto the field. I kept myself pretty calm until all of the underclassmen started singing "we love our seniors" when we all got out there. A few of the other seniors and I started to cry. I'm gonna miss football games. We won too. After the game, all the seniors went to Outback. We just got dessert and appetizers and stuff. I didn't really want to go because I was so tired. I just wanted to sleep so bad. I had a lot fun though so I'm glad I went. I didn't get home until like 11:30 which was late because I have been going to sleep before 11 every night. I don't know what is wrong with me lately. I'm so tired right now I could just pass out but there is no freakin' way I could go to sleep before Kirsten's friends go home. It is way too loud. I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it. Also, in case anyone doesn't know, I am moving my birthday to the 20th so everyone can go. It is worth waiting an extra week to have all my friends together. Awww.
I am finished my Christmas/Birthday list for the moment. I may add things or remove things in the future but that is all of I could think of while I was making it. I make a lot of the stuff into links to help people find things. I really need to get my act together with this birthday stuff because it is coming up soon. I am going to make invitations as soon as I know exactly what I'm doing so no one can make plans that day. It is probably going to be Saturday, November 13th. So keep that day open friends. That's it for now but I will try and be a little more diligent with my updates from now on. I was slacking big time. September 11, 2004- Yesterday was great! Yay! We had a football game against Haverford (which we won) and it was so fun. We thought it was going to suck when we got there and saw the little patch of grass we were supposed to cheer on. Luckily we were allowed to go cheer in front of the band. The band was cheering with us and we did the wave together and we were dancing to all their songs. We did the Horse 3 times and we did Hey a bunch of times too. We just had so much fun. On the bus ride home we were all singing and cheering together. I even sang which is a break through for me because I'm not usually like that at cheerleading. Today was alright too. I went out to breakfast with my mom, and grandparents and then I stayed at my grandmom's house for a while. My uncle was there too so we all chatted for a while and I sold 10 candy bars. Oh, and we had quesadillas for dinner so that was great. September 7, 2004 - "Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad that I'm not a fool. I got my back pack on and my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight, oh back to school..." Ok, enough with the musical interlude. Today was the first day of school. [sarcasm] What a joy! Nothing is more exciting. [/sarcasm] Actually, it wasn't so bad. All of my teachers seem nice (so far) and I get to see my friends. Lunch SUCKED!!!! There are a million freakin' people. It is ridiculous. You have to literally shove people out of the way to get food. I am packing lunch from now on. Also, some other people sat at our table and I don't know who they are but it just annoys me that they are there. I don't want to be mean though. After lunch and gym, we had physics. I ran as fast as a could but Jessica was already there in the back corner (our traditional spot). Of course Dr. Funk has to put us in assigned seats and now we are on opposite sides of the room. It is not fair. At least we are allowed to work together for labs. I was also an idiot today. I left my book in physics and forgot to put my name on my paper. I guess I just subconsciously assumed that Dr. Funk would realize that the paper with the ninja is mine but I don't think that is gonna work yet. After school we had cheerleading practice. The first 2 hours were painful, not because we worked hard but because we didn't work hard. Nothing frustrates me more than not doing anything. We were so unproductive that I was going to yell at everyone at the end of practice. Thankfully we started working on our cheer for competition and everyone shaped up. My group was actually good at the stunt we did which made we very happy. We were calling the stunt "The Boob Smasher", "The Neck Breaker", or "The Mammogram" because the side bases were all getting a thorough chest smashing. My boobs are ok but my wrists are killing me now. After practice we got our candy. It is the most ghetto fundraising kit. We don't get a cute box or anything. It doesn't even say that it has candy in it. It is so crappy. At least the actual candy is good. There are no other cheerleaders in smart classes either so I have a monopoly on the smart kids. Mwahahaha! I'm gonna bring that piece of crap box of candy everyday until it's gone because I have 2 boxes to sell. Grrr! I hate fundraisers!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! Side note: My mom told me
this quote today and it just sounded like something I would think of. I
think it should be my personal motto. August 28, 2004 - Today was our first game (actually a scrimmage) of the year. For some reason JV cheered with us which didn't bother me but I kinda wondered why we did that. It never happened before. We didn't stay for the whole game because it was extremely hot and someone almost passed out. I could have stayed but it was kind of nice to get a break. After the scrimmage we found out that Gina needs surgery and won't be able to cheer until December. That means we need to pull up someone from JV. Tricia and Stacey wouldn't tell us who it was but Kirsten and I are pretty sure we know. ;) If it isn't who we think it is, we'd both be very shocked. Later I went to Adrienne's house which was really fun. We had pizza and then watched The Breakfast Club. I really liked it. It was nice to see her and Kristen again because we haven't seen each other for almost the whole summer. We all have very similar schedules for school too so that is something to look forward too. I'm not saying I want to go back to school (because I don't) but at least I'll get to see my friends. August 27, 2004 - Happy Bill and Gina Day! Well, anyway, I went to Drexel today for an open house. It was from 8:30 to almost 2:00. I really liked it and I want to go there. It is kind of selective though so hopefully I'll make it. They only take about 45-50 people for digital media. That is out of around 200. Hopefully I am better than those other people. I don't want to have to kill off my competition (or do I?). I really wanted to get a Drexel shirt while I was there so I would have something to wear for college t-shirt day but my dad asked, "what if you don't get accepted?" and I said, "then I would have to burn the shirt" and I decided that I didn't want to burn an expensive shirt so I just didn't get one. The worst thing is if I don't get accepted to Drexel, I don't know where I want to go. I felt like crap from about 4:00 on up and I just kept getting worse. I don't know if it is just allergies or I am getting sick ,but my eyes and nose were itching so bad that by the end of the day I had rubbed off every last bit of makeup. I didn't even really feel like being on the computer for most of the day. I just laid on my bed and watched TV and read my cheerleading magazine. The worst part is that I have a game tomorrow morning. I hope I feel better by then because I am going no matter what. I don't feel like typing anymore because I'm sick. I'm going to bed. August 26, 2004 - Nothing happened today so I figured I would share a little story I wrote. I wrote it on the Sims forum I go to because there was a thread where people had to make up really short stories. I was kind of pissed so here is my story. "Once
there was a very angry ninja who hated everyone. One day she took her
sword and proceeded to filet every stupid person who crossed her path.
Everyone was so glad that she got rid of all the stupid people that they
gave her a medal and built her a statue. The end."
Well, that's it for now. I will probably have a better update tomorrow. Maybe. August 25, 2004 -I just got back from vacation and it was really fun. Here is the day by day breakdown. Day 1: The car ride wasn't so bad but the rest of the day was terrible. My dad was in a pissy mood from the time he woke up and all he did was whine. Also, we stayed in a crappy hotel that was so gross that it took me a while before I would even sit down on anything in the room. My pop pop looked at another hotel that was much better (brand new, bigger, indoor pool, free breakfast) and everyone wanted to stay there but for some reason he made us stay at the crappy place so everyone was miserable. Also, it was nearly impossible to sleep because my dad wouldn't shut up and my mom was snoring. I seriously considering paying for my own room so I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore. The only good part was swimming in the pool and making plans to s. dip (skinny dip, we just like to abbreviate everything). Day 2: We went to King's Dominion today. The first order of business was getting our season passes. They have to take your picture for them and the pictures look really bad. My dad looks like Strong Sad. He is just a white circle for a face with blacks eyes and a black mouth. We all got a good laugh from that. Everyone was pissing me off in the park. My family is so freakin' slow it was killing me. Kirsten, Ellie and I all ran as fast as we could to the Volcano and just blew everyone else off. We didn't care. I wanted a front seat anyway. Ellie and I waited for the front which was great and by the time we were done in that line, everyone else was off too. The next stop was Flight of Fear which is my favorite roller coaster. Ellie and I went with Jennifer (my cousin) and Thomas (her cousin). There was barely any line at all which was great. Next we went on Anaconda which surprisingly did have a line. Usually you can get right on. After that we went on Drop Zone and got lunch. We spent the rest of the day going on wooden coasters and the river rapids ride. It was really fun. Also, we got this weird little eye ball things that we put on our hands and we were making them talk and stuff. Mine was named Affectionate Sally, Ellie's was Bisexual Ben and Kirsten's was Henry, then 1 eyed Jacked and finally No Eyed Nelson. On top of that we all got cool pimp hats from the water gun game. You only needed 3 people to play for you to be able to get the hat so we just played 3 times each and all got a hat. Nicole, Lindsey and my pop pop all got hats too. We looked cool. When we left, we just got Burger King for dinner and then went to the pool. Just when it was finally getting late and we could put our plans from the previous night in to action, all this little kids just came out of no where. It was 10 o'clock and there are 6 year olds in the pool. What kind of parents do that? I hate them whoever they are. We just all sat around and eventually just went to bed. My dad wouldn't shut up again so it was hard to sleep. Day 3: Today was the best day. First we had breakfast at our hotel. It sucked. I had pancakes and sausage and it just wasn't good at all. The worst part is that it cost us $5 a person to eat that crap. We were all pretty pissed. We went to the park and everyone was slow again. My sisters and I were ready to have a stroke. I just can't take the slowness. We ran away again so we didn't have to wait. We got off Volcano like 10 minutes before everyone else so we just sat on a bench with the people who didn't go on. Next we took Matt (Nicole's cousin) with us and we went to go on Flight of Fear again. There was absolutely no line at all. We went on 3 times in a row all together and then Matt and Kirsten left so Ellie and I went on again with Jennifer and Thomas. My head was killing me by this point but I didn't care. We wanted to go on Anaconda but it wasn't running so we went to see how long the line was for the new Scooby Doo ride. It was huge so we went on Spongebob 3-D instead. After that we waited in a huge line for the log flume. They were only loading people on one side so it took forever. It was probably the longest line we waited in. We went on the river rapids ride again too. It was so much fun. Lindsey screamed for everything. None of us got really wet but it was great anyway. After that we went on Rebel Yell a bunch of times. We went forwards and backwards (I had front seat both times) and I felt like I was going to throw up. I also went on Drop Zone 3 times and then we went on Hypersonic too. The line for that was pretty long but it was fun so it was worth it. The only roller coaster we didn't go on was Shockwave but I've been on it before so I didn't care. That night we all went to the Smokey Pig. We had 17 people (8 kids, 9 adults) so we had a kids table and and adult table. Jennifer sat with us even though she is 22. She is more immature than the rest of us anyway. It was funny because when the waitress came around for drink orders, Jennifer asked for a Bud and the waitress said, "are you kidding me?". She didn't believe that Jennifer was old enough to drink. We had so much fun at the restaurant. First of all Lindsey ordered her food with the little eyeball guy. We didn't think she would really do it so we were all hysterical. Jennifer snorted a packet of sugar through Kirsten's straw and then Thomas did too. Then she ate a spoonful of applesauce with hot sauce in it. We didn't stop cracking up during the whole dinner. Unfortunately afterwards I felt like I was going to throw up. Actually I felt like I was going to throw up after every meal I ate on vacation. I think I just got so used to eating healthy that all the crap I ate was poisoning me. That night there was no one at the pool so we could have more fun. I am not even going to write what happened but it was really funny. Just take my word for it. I can tell you in person later. Day 4: We all woke up at 4:30 because there was a spider in the room. I was pissed because no one would turn the lights off so it took me forever to fall asleep. I did manage to fall asleep eventually but I was woken up at 6:30 by my dad because he didn't know where everyone went. My mom and sisters went to Burger King for coffee and they were all loud when they came back too so I gave up and just had some coffee. I look one sip and felt like I was going to throw up. I still felt terrible. We left the hotel by 7:30. I fell asleep for the first couple of hours of the trip (thank god). When I woke up we were all really hungry. My dad of course, didn't care what we wanted and he drove past every Burger King because he didn't feel like stopping so basically I didn't eat breakfast until we got home. Even though the first and last day both sucked, this trip was really fun and I can't wait to go back next year. August 18, 2004 - Yesterday I got my picture taken for cheerleading. I hope it comes out good because my mom is getting buttons of our pictures to wear at the snack bar. After the pictures we had to walk home and Ellie was asleep and we didn't have a key so we walked to my grandmom's house. We were still wearing our uniforms too. Later I went to Jessica's house. Nicki was there too and we watched Family Guy. I was also lit on fire multiple times by Nicholas with his haunted torch. Here is why the torch is haunted. Nicholas was attacking Nicki with the torch so Jessica broke it in half and threw it down the basement steps. Later that night Jessica and I were upstairs on her laptop. We had the door closed the whole time. When we were ready to go downstairs we noticed that the torch was back in one piece and it was in her room. We aren't really sure how it got up there without either of us seeing it. It was really weird. Today I finally got my schedule. I was happy to see that I have pretty much all of my classes with Jessica. Here is my schedule just so you know.
Oh, and I'm going on vacation on Sunday. We are going to King's Dominion for 2 days. I can't wait. Side Note: I watching the commercial for Baby Geniuses. I hate that movie with a passion. It makes me angry every time I see the commercial. Anyone who wants to see that movie should be shot. Just my opinion... Side Note (again): Oh, see that comments section? Wanna use it people? That'd be great. :) August 15, 2004 - Yesterday, for my mom's birthday we went and saw a movie and got ice cream. We saw Napoleon Dynamite mostly because Ellie wanted to see it. My mom thought it was really stupid but my sisters and I thought it was funny. I'm not saying it wasn't stupid, but it was still funny. Also Swan came over. He was wearing a bowler and a wife beater and a napkin shaped like a bow taped to his chest. He didn't look that when he got here, we did it. He kept playing with all the toys in my room and I was ready to kill him. Then he started playing with things that weren't toys and that was the last straw. I had to kick him out. At least we had fun singing songs together. We kept singing the song from the new e-mail "Stave it off 1 2 3 and now you can count to three". I couldn't really help it because it was severely stuck in my head. Today we went shopping at the mall. I only got 6 shirts (3 t-shirts, 3 camis). My favorite thing I got was the Ninja shirt. I had to get it after Jessica told me about it. I felt so weird in Hot Topic though. Here I am with my pink collared shirt and pleated skirt going up to the check out where some girl with 3 piercing just on her lip and stuff drawn on her face, wearing all black happens to be working. Then she asked me if I had a frequent buyers card which I thought that was pretty funny. Later we got our camp pictures developed. I uploaded them to my cheerleading page. They look kind of crappy online. I think it is just the file type. Oh, and my mouse isn't working. I am VERY pissed about that. I have to use the stupid freakin' touchpad again. I don't know why my mouse isn't working. I thought it was the batteries but the light is still on. I think I have to uninstall and reinstall or something. It better work again... August 12, 2004 -
[Warning: Very long] At camp we realized pretty quickly that we were the best ones there. I think we were the only people that could do libs without a front spot. Anyway, on the first night we did our sideline for evaluations and got a blue superior ribbon (that's the best one). Brittany Linker and I entered the jump off. I didn't win (I was robbed!) but I didn't care because the people who did win were really good and the prizes kind of sucked anyway. We also had the cheer evaluation that night and got a blue ribbon for that too. The next day was spirit day which was fun. We wore our orange and
black outfits and all the seniors wrote "seniors" across our
faces with eyeliner and everyone wrote their Also, that day at lunch we planned our senior prank. It was not really mean at all but we wanted to do something. We decided to steal make up from all the girls. A few of the seniors held a meeting for JV while I went with the rest of the seniors to go looting. Luckily JV all left their doors unlocked. We couldn't find make up in some of the rooms so we stole toothbrushes and straighteners too. Ashley hid it all in her closet. I felt a little bit bad though because the JV girls were all pissed at Caity because they thought she was in on it (which she wasn't, we stole her stuff too). Not long after, I was going to my room to get dressed after getting a shower and Kirsten comes running over hyperventilating and tells me that Jess cracked her head open and that she was laying on the floor bleeding. Tricia and Stacey made everyone go in the meeting room in between Varsity and JV so that the paramedics could come in and no one would be in the way. I was still in my towel and pretty horrified because I saw Jess on the floor while I was running by. Everyone was really scared because no one was sure how bad it was. Apparently Jess was going back in to the bathroom to get her brush and she slipped and hit her head on the ground. She was taken to the hospital on a stretcher. I was ready to cry when they wheeled her by. She got 5 staples in her head and was back the next day ready to go. I think anyone else would have wanted to go home after that but Jess would never let us down. She couldn't cheer or dance with us in the Camp Champs competition but she sat right in front when we did our routine and she called the cheers when we practiced.
The bus ride home wasn't quite as fun as the ride there but Kendra managed to crack everyone up by doing her impression of one of the girls from camp. It was really hysterical. We gave JV back their make up too. We just threw everything in a bag and let them sort it out. This was definitely my best year of camp ever. It was never as fun and the people were never as good as they are this year. Even though camp was great, I'm happy to be home. Kirsten and I wouldn't shut up about camp when we got home. We were doing all the cheers and dances we learned and being really goofy. Then I got a catalog in the mail that had all kinds of spirit stuff. It had mascot costumes and stuff and we were cracking up looking at the faces on the mascots. We were just so tired that everything was funny. We were laughing so hard looking at the catalog that I nearly peed myself. For the rest of the night almost everything we said made us either think of camp, crack up uncontrollably or both. Man, I really need a good nights sleep to get me back to normal. SIDE NOTE: I made a link to the comments section. Not really a big deal but I figured I would mention it. August 8, 2004 - I feel much better today! I don't know why but whatever was wrong with me yesterday is gone. Thank god, it was terrible. Today I went to the pool which was alright. I didn't even swim but it was just nice to be out of the house. I got my haircut too. All I did was complain about it so it is about time I got it chopped off. It looks much better. I decided to get a livejournal account today. The only reason I did is so I had a username and icon to post with if I left a comment on somebody else's livejournal. That is a dumb reason but I don't care. I got a cool icon of the blue laser commander saying "what the crap?" so I am happy. I don't plan on actually using my livejournal because I like my website much better. My username is CartoonJunkie because Sweetcuppinkakez was too long, and Dangeresque2 was taken. Plus, Jessica told me I was a cartoon junkie the other day so it fits. Oh and I'm going to camp tomorrow. I am sure everyone will miss me terribly. I am sorry to put you through it but I must go. I'll be back on Thursday though. I'm supposed to be back by 2:00pm. See you then! Oh and Kelly, I added your livejournal to my links page in case you didn't notice. August 7, 2004 - Well today sucked. I was supposed to have practice but I felt like such crap I didn't go. I was up all night in severe pain until I finally passed out again. Then I woke up still in pain and miserable. I feel like a have a fork lodged in my gut. It is probably because I have been eating really healthy and yesterday I just went nuts and ate so much crap. Now I feel like crap. Coincidence? I think not. I was pissed about not being able to go to cheerleading. I felt really bad. I hate missing practice. I probably could have gone but I don't think I would have been able to do anything except lie there in the fetal position. I really need a real picture of me for my site. When I feel better I'll have to pose like my little drawing in my Teen Girl Squad shirt. That would be cool. Unfortunately, besides feeling like crap, I also look like crap so I'll have to wait until tomorrow or something to take a picture. The only good thing about to day is my grandmom and pop pop gave me $200 for back to school shopping. I can't wait to go spend it! Hopefully I'll have some left over so I can buy some other stuff besides clothes. I really want to get the Cheat Commandos shirt and maybe something else from Homestarrunner.com. Too bad they don't have the Marshie shirt for girls anymore. That pisses me off. August 6, 2004 - Today
was much better than the previous few days. First of all, I went out to
breakfast with Ellie, my mom, and my pop pop. It was really good and
afterwards we went to K-mart. I needed sheets for my bed at camp so I got
a Spongebob sheet set. I feel so cool. My mom told Kirsten that she got
her one too and she was all pissed but she really just got her some dumb
dotted one. After I came back I went to see the Village with Kelly and Jessica. It was alright. I guessed what the twist was and there was a black out and the monsters looked like porcupines/birds. It was weird and reminded me of the Twilight Zone. After the movie we went and got ice cream at Cold Stone creamery. I got chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups in a waffle bowl. It was really good. Then we went to Kelly's house so she could give me my prize which was Reese's Pieces and a Fastbreak. I love all Reese's things so that was the best prize ever. I already ate both things. While we were there we watched her Kids in the Hall DVDs which were funny. I'm glad today was fun but I'd say it is a safe bet that nothing else exciting will happen today. Also, I think I have stupid hands because they are forgetting how to type my password (among other things). My hands are all dyslexic and keep mixing up the letters. I think one hand might just be faster than the other and that could explain why I am skipping letters and screwing stuff up. It is really annoying though. August 5, 2004 - Guess what I did today. If you guessed nothing interesting, than you are right! Good job! Yes, it's true. I didn't do anything fun or interesting at all. I did have cheerleading practice though. I actually got to stunt a little bit too. I was really surprised because we were only supposed to be doing conditioning and Stacey wanted my group to stunt. It was nice because we actually did a good job. It made me more excited about camp. I want to win whatever kind of contest they have at camp. Everyone better be at our practice on Saturday or I'll be pissed. After cheerleading everyone went to Cold Stone. I didn't go because I am going tomorrow and I didn't want to eat ice cream two days in a row. If I'm going to eat ice cream I'd rather do it with my friends. Man, I can't wait until I have something good to write about. I am making myself bored. Side note: Here is a picture of my mouse. The picture is actually a little bit bigger than actual size.
I also don't think caffeine has an effect on me any more. I used to think that that is what made me hyper but I think I am just naturally that way. I had 4 cups of coffee and 2 sodas today and I don't feel hyper at all but during champ camp I had half a cup of coffee and I was bouncing off walls all day. I think just doing something I like makes me nuts. I also had conditioning again today. I feel like a champ because everyone complains that they hurt but it doesn't really bother me. I must be in better shape than I thought. I did my back handspring again although I was terrified. I really need to just get over it and do it myself. I don't know what my problem is. I want it good before the end of the summer. I started my Christmas/Birthday list too. I know I still have months before either of those things but I figured I'd start listing what I want because people are always asking me. Now I can just be like "Bam! Here's my list" and they'll be like "Oh wow! You are so prepared I think I'll just buy you everything!". Well, that'd be cool if it did happen. I'll post it when it's done. I only have a few things on it. It is kind of general. Also, I updated my quotes page again. I found more Futurama, Family Guy, and Spongebob quotes that I like. Just thought I'd share :) August 3, 2004 - Man, today was boring. I didn't do anything. I just sat on the computer. It was terrible. The worst part was that our cheerleading practice was changed into conditioning. I was just glad they didn't make us run. I would have been pissed. Shannon wasn't there so much group couldn't have stunted anyway. I did do my back handspring though so it wasn't a total waste. The best thing about today is that my grandmom bought me a wireless optical notebook mouse. It is so small and cute. I stole my Spongebob mousepad back. It's all mine now. Even though I mastered the touchpad, it was killing my wrist. I was getting some severe carpal tunnel. I was also pissed last night because I got one of the those homepage hijacker viruses and it kept setting my homepage to some stupid crap with pop ups instead of google. No matter how many times I changed it is changed back. I did a little research and managed to get rid of the problem though. Thank god. It was driving me crazy. Oh, and I got a preview CD for the Sims 2. It was free because I pre-ordered the game from EBgames.com. It was just a bunch of interviews with the creators but it was pretty cool. There are a few games and wallpapers and stuff in there too. I'm extra glad I pre-ordered now. August 2, 2004 - Good news everyone! I got a guestbook so you can make comments on all the stupid crap I do. It was the most basic guestbook I could find. The bravenet.com ones allowed more customization but they had an automatic profanity filter that couldn't be turned off and I figured it would be too annoying. Bravenet also puts ads all over the place. I would rather have a crappy looking guestbook than one filled with ads. Also, I am feeling kind of lazy and I don't feel like redoing the top part of my page to add a link to the guestbook so you can just click where it says "updates" to go to the guestbook. If I am feeling ambitious one day, I'll change it. Also, Kirsten and I already beat Peasant's Quest. We are so awesome. All the messages in that game cracked me up. I'll have to play it again because we only got 125 out of 150. I'm not sure what we are missing. I really don't want to have to do that archery part again though. It was hard. Oh, and I redid parts of my quotes page. It is now all from TV shows I like. I added a Fairly Oddparents section plus I put a bunch of new quotes for Futurama. Also, I uploaded yesterday and today's entry at the same time. I forgot to upload it yesterday. August 1, 2004 - Yesterday I made some delicious low carb cookies with my mom. They are pecan sandies. We also made some lemon poppy muffins but for some reason they all turned out flat and sponge-like. My mom said you could kill a bird with one of them. It was pissed because I love lemon poppy muffins and I was looking forward to having one. My mom and I kind of went nuts on our diet yesterday. We went out to dinner and we got tiramisu. It was delicious but not allowed at all on this diet. We didn't care though and we ate it and we still had pudding for our second desert and cookies. My mom even ate pizza. We are being good again though. Hopefully... Oh and today we went to Friendly's for Nicki's birthday. I got a chicken quesadilla and a Reese's cup sundae. It was good but definitely not on the diet. I don't care though. I am going to be good until school starts. I am even going back on phase 1 the whole week before school starts. July 31, 2004 - I made some really Also, today was the car wash which sucked. I was so sure that it would suck that I actually wrote this before I went. I kept praying that it will rain and I won't have to go. It actually started to rain for a little bit. I was there for 2 hours and only washed 5 cars. We aren't going to make any money. July 30, 2004 - First of all, I just want to say happy birthday to Nicki! Well, anyway, today was alright. I went out to dinner last night and out to breakfast today. Then I went to Rite Aid because they are going out of business. I got a really cool notebook (I can't believe I used the word cool to describe a school supply) that is for people with TI-83 plus calculators. Then I went to the dollar store and got a basket.
July 29, 2004 - Well, summer has been pretty boring lately. At least we had champ camp. It was really fun. The girls in my group were really good (for the most part) and they did a great job on their routine. They did their dance to "From AM to PM" and they did T-A-K-E for their cheer. They were so cute. My group was kind of mixed up. I had girls from 3,4, and 5 grade. This included my old neighbor Margaret, my cousin Nicole and her cousin Lindsey. I'm glad they were in my group.
Also, on a different note, just before champ camp I got a call from Mr. Sanville and he told me basically that I could either take German or English. I of course choose English. I already read all the books and I wasn't about to be knocked down a level. I went to his office to talk to him about it and the best part is he waived the technology credits that I needed and let me take a bunch of art classes instead. Who would have thought getting my schedule screwed up could ever work to my advantage? July 16, 2004 -Just as I suspected I am doing this update from my new laptop. The keyboard and touchpad are taking some getting used too but it is really super cool. I even got a cool backpack to put it in. The only reason I didn't update 3 days ago when I got it is because I didn't have the internet yet. My dad had to get a wireless router so that I would have the internet everywhere. It is great though. I already have AIM. I love my laptop. It is the best! July 8, 2004 - I am the worst updater ever. I just don't do very much. Except I did go to Disneyworld which was great. Our room was awesome and the parks were fun. Too many things happened to mention here but check out Jessica's quotes page if you want to get an idea of what we did. You can even find some quotes from the infamous train ride from hell. The train ride felt like something from the twilight zone ("The train that never moved"). It was terrible. It took 37 hours to get home. I am never using a train again. And the other day I went to the movies with Jessica and Kelly and Kelly drove. :) It was fun and I really liked the movie. It made me wish that I had giant metal arms like Doc Ock because I thought they were super cool. I could seriously have a lot of fun with those. The only downfall is that is would probably be uncomfortable to sleep and hard to buy shirts. I still want the big arms though. And the best news of all is that I'm getting a laptop of my very own! Yay! I'm so excited! It is a Dell Inspiron 5150. It is really good too. Here is some stuff about it right from the webpage.
Isn't that great? I can't wait until I get it. It will come sometime this month. YAY!!! With the way I update, my next update will probably be on the laptop. Also, I went kind of nuts and cleaned my whole room. I have a tendency to do stuff like that sometimes. I threw out a huge bag of stuff. I feel so organized. It feels great :) June 7, 2004 - I'm trying to get back on track with my updates even though I'm probably the only one that reads this. I just don't like having huge jumps from month to month. Well anyway, I was really happy today because I drove for the first time. I just drove around the parking lot but I felt pretty confident after a while. I am probably going to drive tomorrow too. I can't wait to start driving out on the road so I can go places. Parking lots get boring after the first 50 laps. Also, I'll start putting pictures in my entries again soon but my PSP trial ran out and I haven't been able to do anything for a while. June 5, 2004 - I have gotten incredibly lazy with updating but today was a good day (sorta). First of all I had to take the SAT which wasn't so bad except that some of the kids in my room were annoying and our proctor was kind of strange and stare-y. As soon as I was done I made a quick getaway. The next stop was taking my permit test. Even with all of my anxiety, I got all of the questions right. Unfortunately the weather was miserable all day so I didn't get a chance to drive. I couldn't believe I passed though. I get to go take my drivers test on my birthday. I'll be 18 so I don't have to do the 50 hours. Haha. I went shopping too and I got a whole butt load of cute stuff. And sunglasses. They're great. They aren't quite as "cool" as the evil villain glasses but they are still great. I wore them all day, in the house, in the dark. I am so cool I can get away with it. May 21, 2004- Holy crap! It's been a long time since I
updated. Not too much has happened though. The best thing was our
chemistry project. It was pirate vs. ninja themed of course. It went over well except for the part where everyone found out that we are secretly racist (white power!). We better get the best grade. Jessica even wore her Pirate hat which was funny. She wore it in English class too which was funnier. It was a symbol of when we got off track. She forgot to take it off but it didn't matter because we never stayed on topic for long. It's terrible. Another thing is we started a scavenger hunt thing in history. I finished my first packet in one night and I'll have the other one done by Monday. I am the enforcer of the group so I have to set a good example. If anyone in the group lets me down I get to pick the punishment. MWAHAHAHA! Our group is called Pirate vs. Ninja and Ben aka The Cool Group. April 24, 2004-I went to the prom last night with Jessica and Adrienne. It was pretty boring. I'm glad I went only because I can say that I went. It all started with the hellish ordeal of getting ready. My whole family did my hair. I had about 5 hair styles. I was late getting to Jessica's house too. We got to the prom on time at least. The dinner wasn't that great but we had good cake. Some kid drank all the Pepsi though which pissed me off because we already had plans to steal it. We were also going to steal the center piece but then they said we could have it which took all the fun out of it. At least Amanda's boyfriend provided some comic relief during dinner. He made fun of a bunch of girls that I don't like. :) The most fun part though was taking pictures. We killed a good 40 minutes just taking pictures of us trying to kill each other or just being in dumb poses. We are so weird. We played hide and seek and I danced around in front of the bathroom. So all in all, the prom was like a teaspoon of fun mixed with a cup of suck. April 16, 2004-This week was very exciting. Tryouts were really fun.
Here is the day by day recap of Tryouts!!! Other things from today: Jessica and I made a chart of coolness. We invented the rules of cool so we are in the top rank that can only be reached by us. There are eight other levels of cool though and we made a very scientific quiz that places people in the exact category they deserve. Click here to take it! April 10, 2004-The week definitely got better since my last update. First of all, we had our cheerleading banquet which was more fun than expected (which wasn't hard because I didn't expect much). I ate some stuff and did some stuff and then we got presents. We all got orange and black plaid shorts, orange bags, and really cool picture frames from Tricia. They are really nice. I am wearing my shorts right now. I can't wait until tryouts. Also, I was at my cousin Johnny's house for two days with Kirsten and Ellie. We did a lot of cheerleading. We based all the little kids who would let us. Johnny was really good. We based his mom too. That was funny. We basket tossed Nick and he did a back flip over my shoulders onto the ground. It wasn't as bad as it sounds but it still scared the crap out of me. While we were there, we rode on bikes and scooters and stuff in their driveway. Kirsten and I played traffic cop. We would both stand at either end of the driveway with bats or hockey sticks and enforce the rules of the road. If the rules were broken, the culprit would be beaten with the bat and/or hockey stick. I had a fun time beating all the kids. We started this game because Nick crashed into Johnny's friend Anthony twice. He blamed Anthony both times although it clearly wasn't his fault. Anthony was just walking, minding his own business and Nick drove up behind on his bike right into his legs. We had to intervene. Ellie was rollerblading for a few seconds but the rollerblades were like 4 or 5 sizes too small. Kirsten and I could pretty much only go on the scooters because the bikes were too small. We were doing fancy scooter tricks such as scooting on one foot with the other one up. Kirsten got into a horrific scooter accident and scraped a large chunk of skin off of her leg. It was funny. She made herself a "ghetto band-aid" out of a paper towel and some tape because it was too big for a regular one. And she didn't even cry! What a trooper. :) April 5, 2004- Spring break sucks! It really really sucks! Spring break sucks! It really really SUCKS!!! (You have to sing that like in the Waterboy) Ok, anyway, I have been bored to tears lately. Unfortunately, I have also been too tired to do anything. All I have done is watch TV and go on the computer. I need to get my cheerleading video. WHY ISN'T IT HERE YET!?!! AHHHHHH!!!!! On this one forum I go
to, there are a lot of dumb people. One person in particular was really
pissing me off because they spell EVERYTHING wrong on purpose. I assumed
they were probably 12 but they were actually 11. Well, anyway, I made a
poll about whether or not TyPiN LyK DiS is cool. 1 person said yes.
Guess who? Well anyway, this was their post justifying why it is cool
Symptoms of Cyarsenonium
Poisoning 1]
Blindness March 25, 2004-I made a ton more Ninja stars today. These ones are big and really cool. I threw one at Adrienne and she threw it back at me. I glared at her the rest of the period. I vowed to get revenge. In math I threw one right at her and scared her. Hahahahaha! Then I threw one at Jessica and she threw it at me and it exploded. She said I did it. LIES! In chemistry, Jessica and I had ninja star making lessons. We taught Kayun and Katie how to make them. I gave some of mine out to people. Sam broke his in two seconds and I had to fix it. I am going to have to get some rainbow paper so I can make cooler ones Today was the cheerleading tryouts meeting too. There was a lot of girls there. I was kind of surprised. Counting the people at Paxon, more than 40 girls are trying out. That is a lot compared to the 11 that tried out last year. There is going to be a JV though so there will be few, if any cuts (not that I'm worried). Also, teacher recommendations and attitude count for 30 points which is great for me because my teachers all seem to like me.
March 23, 2004-I have so much paper! I have a whole stack from
Mr. Keyser. He was going to throw it out so I asked if I could
have some. I drew a picture after the PSSA today. I was so bored and I had way too much time. I'm just glad the teacher didn't try and collect it. I would have been pissed. Some of the people in my class liked it too. Good for me! March 22, 2004 Also, I got my prom dress! It is pretty and it actually fits me. I am so happy. I even got my shoes and all the other stuff and I still have $80 dollars left for other stuff. I am the queen of bargain prom shopping. March 17, 2004-Marple HiQ won! Yay! Congratulations Jessica (just Jessica). She did it by herself. Now they just have to drug the Penncrest people and beat them. Appletinis anyone? I drew a new picture of me hating the snow. I inked it during English class. It was either do that or listen. I didn't have to think twice about what I was going to do. Also, I can't believe they postponed the pep rally! I don't want to go to math. That is the only class where I actually learn anything and I was going to miss it. Whoever ruined should suffer the same fate as the snowman in the linked picture. March 16, 2004-Surprisingly I am going to the prom. I guess I have to get a dress now. Well, anyway, today was boring but I am happy anyway. Cheerleading tryouts are soon. We have a meeting on the 25th and I am pretty sure tryouts are the week after spring break. I just want to cheerlead again. I miss it :( English was so stupid today. We didn't do anything. All we did was go over the obvious meanings of the poems we read and then we came back to the "girls vs. boys" debate. Why does that happen all the time in that class? It was so stupid. I just sat back and laughed. Also, I can't believe it snowed today! I was so pissed off. I even drew a picture of me killing a snow man. Snow is the worst. We didn't even get off. I just sat in art this morning getting more and more pissed with every flake. GRRRRRRRR March 13, 2004-First of all, I hate the prom and I am not going anymore. Second, I am getting my hair done again today so it is actually brown and all my pictures aren't lying. Also, I am working on making a site to sell graphics so I don't have to get a job and I can buy a portable DVD player and the 2004 Nationals DVD. Actually, I just found out that those things cost like $800 so I'll just get the DVD. Oh, and Swan (Anthony) is coming over today. Yay! March 9, 2004 - My weekend was great. I went to Central League. Haverford won (surprise surprise). They were really really good. It was really fun to watch though. Next year we have to beat them. Today was good until history. We had to watch a movie about dadaism. It was the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I made a conscious effort not to watch or listen during most of the movie. It consisted of not much more than a bunch of flashing images and people going "dadadadadadadadadada". It was enough to give you a seizure. We seriously thought of ways to destroy the tape just so we wouldn't have to watch any more. I added that to my hate list. On a lighter note, somehow I got a invite to the honor roll breakfast. Someone must have made a mistake but I don't care because now I get to go eat stuff and chat instead of going to English. Yay! March 5, 2004 - The only funny thing that happened yesterday was when Mr. Keyser walked over to the door and Nicki did a backwards roll in the hallway to get out of the way because she wasn't supposed to be there.
Oh also, I'm going to central league on Sunday! I am so excited. wOOt! Oh and on Monday we are going to Paxon to do der Werwolf play. More on that later! ^_^ Feb 28, 2004- I
was very busy today not doing Sophie's World. I made a bunch of new
animations, my favorite of which is the tumbling sequence from Bring it
On that Missy does. It took me forever. It is a Front handspring - Step
out - Round Off-Back Handspring - Step out - Round off - Back handspring
- Full.
Oh, and Nicki drew a
dragon for me on the board in homeroom. It was really bad. It was called
the "Never Defeated Dragon". I killed it with a sword in a
couple of seconds. She was pissed. <--- Oh and I made this. It is my Lego guy from Johnny. Isn't he cute? His arms aren't supposed to be green. Chris lost one of his brown arms and Johnny gave me two green ones to replace them. He is always turning up in my clothes.
Feb 23, 2004- Some new graphics, more to come. Yay! February 21, 2004- New
layout and I just got an account at deviantart.com. Go check out my
awesome stuff.
Now wasn't that a nice story? -------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a comic I made
(if you don't get it, go read A Word About
Beavers) --------------------------------------------------------------
