Yet another quiz! Here's the link. Right now I am at my mother's work for take your child to work day. It's better than last year. I actually see other kids. A few my age, or close. Kim is coming over on Friday. Carmen was finally eliminated last night! Yay! I am sooo happy she's gone! She had no talent. And I hated her vibrato, it was terrible. Watched South Park last night while I was making the quiz. I think this one is better than my other. But that could just be me^-^. Well, not too much has happened. I'll write more later.

I made a better lord of The Rings Species test at quizilla click here to take it! On Sunday I locked myself out of my car :p. But I got it now, and I'm sure that won't happen again. If you take the tes(s) I made, I hope you think they're at least okay. I'm thinking of making a new quiz, but I'm not sure. I had a test in three classes. I know I got an A on my German test because she told me. I thought that was pretty good, I only know because I was one of the first she graded^-^ On my hero paper for Com. Arts II, we are supposed to find professional failures and I can't find any for Liam Neeson, and I have ten resources! Oh well. Mr. Smithyman said it was okay if I couldn't find failures. Tomorrow I have a Cummulative Test in Geometry, I hope I do okay on it. Well, my sis wants me to get off. I have more to say, but I'll talk about it later.

Right now Mom and Art are at the New Dinner Theatre Restaurant. It's quieter. I am really bored. A few minutes ago, I sketched a few faces but no actual face parts. I'm not good at that. I stopped because I thought it was boring to try to draw something I couldn't. As you can see (if you visited the results page) I found some new quizzes. I hope tomorrow will be better. I got some new Sandals, they are kinda like sneakers. They are pretty cool, I think. I am not used to having no heel, but I will probably get used to it after awhile. They are pretty comfortable. They came in blue with white stripes, black with white stripes and red with white stripes. I chose the balck ones. I like the color blue, but the blue was light blue, and I don't think it looked good in blue anyway. Right now I'm watching Never Been Kissed, before that it was the Wedding Singer. If there was something better on, I would switch it, but there isn't. Tomorrow I am going to drive to my older sister's. I think my mother wants me to get my drivers license more than I do. She found out that my permit expires and now she wants me to start driving! Arggh! Anyway, I hope I'll have a good time there. I also wish Brandon were there. I could talk to him, but he wont be there.... oh well, it's not like I can change any of that. Well, I have other stuff to say but really boring stuff. I know, this is boring, but the other stuff is more boring.

2003-04-18T18:44:00.000-07:00

Finally! The weekend! It seemed to take forever. This week, in fact, yesterday, I found out that Jennifer likes Dmitri, and that he has a girlfriend. I never would have thought he had a girlfriend. But today I found out that Dmitri doesn't even like Jennifer as a friend. So, there is a very slim chance that Dmitri will go out with Jennifer, which Jennifer wants. I also learned that Seth Green has been in over a 100 movies/t.v. shows! Oh, and that supposedly there is this girl who is obsessed with Will Lentz which I don't see how that's possible, but I guess it's possible. Who knows. This whole week has made me question myself even more than I usually do. Wondering why it seems no guy likes me. And if they do, the don't show it and don't ask me out. It's not like I'm hard to approach. I'll talk to anyone who wants to. Open to new ideas, and glad to help others whenever and if they ask or I sense something wrong. Anyway, I guess I shouldn't dwell on it too much. I just don't understand. Got my own keys to the car! Yay! Started research on Liam Neeson in Com. Arts II Wednesday. I have 10 online sources, and I only need two print sources. And there are exactly two print sources. I just need to find them. Hopefully at the local library, because they don't have them in the school library. I hope to exercise more often this summer and following days. I got some books too. One, was the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, which I already had, but it was one of the original ones so I got it. I also got an encyclopedia pver several different Gods/Goddesses. I also got two books by Terry Goodking, they were Stone of Tears and Soul of The Fire, both part of and ongoing series called Sword of Truth. Well, I have other stuff to say but not as important... Update later.

2003-04-14T12:36:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I found out that my Mother and Step-Father got Alyson and I a car. A Ford Escort ZX2 Coupe. It's pretty good. I don't like the front though. It's long and harder to park than the normal Escort. But since I've driven the Taurus, it's not as hard as it could be. I updated the Test Results page. And I finally have a link to a website which shows Ptolemy's model of the Solar System. I am in school right now so I can't type much...Gotta Go!

2003-04-13T07:38:00.000-07:00

18 more days until Beltane! I need to prepare. But I don't have much to celebrate Beltane with. I will still celebrate it though. Hopefully next year I will be better prepared. Started a page on Claudius Ptolemy, the astronomer from Egypt. For my hero paper I chose Liam Neeson. I have learnd that he has been in 78 movies! Wow! I also learned a lot I didn't know about him earlier. I think I made the right descision to chose him instead of Mother Tereasa. I know she is more of a hero, but I would enjoy writing how Liam is a hero more than Tereasa. Not much else, just thought I'd drop by and post a quick write.

2003-04-11T12:18:00.000-07:00

Hey all again. In Tech. Lit. right now. We had to do an assesment using a spreadsheet. I thought it was fairly easy. In Com. Arts II, we worked in our Hero packets, and took unit 9 vocabulary test. We also did an appositive overhead. It was kind boring. I had a really healthy meal for lunch, Funyuns!. LOL, of course, I just can't help it, I love funyuns. I think they're really good. I know I should be eating healthier, but I don't seem to have enough motivation. My father just learned, I think yesterday, that my mother is wanting full custody of ALyson and I. and so do we, we don't want to live with our father anymore. He isn't that good at being a parent. To make things worse, we have to be over there this weekend! No! He's gonna ask us why we don't want to stay with him anymore, and we won't be able to tell him the truth, because it would be mean, so we would make things up, and he would keep asking why... I'm gonna hate this weekend more than others I've had with me father because of what's happening. I was thinking that I could tell him that Brandon was over visiting Kim and Dan and since I knew where they lived (don't know where Brandon lives), I could say, "I haven't seen him in two years (which is true)." And hopefully I could stay away from him for at least sometime over the weekend. In German we are learning to tell time (the way Germans do). In History of the Western World, we are watching the movie Gandhi. Yesterday, I learned that, I think his name is Mike, a freshman, likes Britney, I thought it was cute that he liked her. But Britney thought it was horrible, she did not like it at all. I can't believe Carmen hasn't been voted off yet. I think she should have gone long ago. I hope Clay wins and Carmen won't make it next week. But I am not the one who decides who stays or goes. It's everyone voting. I just hope they'll come to their senses and realize that Carmen is bad and will vote for someone else, instead of her. Well, not much except I saw the sequel to The Cube last night. It was more freaky than the original. Gotta go!

2003-04-05T19:26:00.000-08:00

Back again. Well, Not much to say except we didn't have school Friday which was pretty good. Going to get new seats in German on Monday. We started projects in Science on planets. I am doing Jupiter. We have a brochure due Monday and the power point is due on Thursday. I got a new book on Wicca by Scott Cunningham and I think it is helping me much more than Simple Wicca by Michelle Morgan. If I had to recommend one of them I wouldn't even have to think about it. I would definitely suggest Wicca, by Scott Cunningham. In Com. Arts II, we had a test over Catcher in The Rye on Block day. I think I did pretty good. We also started a thing for a hero paper. We have to choose a famous person and tell if they are a romantic, tragic,or anti-hero. And we have to have support for our answers. I'm thinking about doing Mother Teresa. But if someone else has taken her, I was also thinking about doing Albert Einstein. I have two panels left for my Brochure so I think I'm going to finish it tomorrow. I hope we get new seats in Com. Arts II. I'm getting tired of my seat. In History of the Western World, we actually have homework. I haven't finished it, but I don't think it will take too long to finish. Kim came over Friday so we could plan where we would go when we go to Disney World. Frau, my German teacher, says we may not have to make up our snowdays, but she told us not to get our hopes up because she wasn't sure and she ddin't want to get our hopes up. That would be cool though. We finally started our vocabulary. So now I'll have to finish my cards. Well, I don't have much else to say. Can't believe that I don't, but oh well. Maybe later!

2003-03-27T14:01:00.000-08:00

This week has been okay I guess. We had to do a fashion show type thing in German and it was taped! I hated it. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday was the Science Assessment, and today we started a project on different planets. You could either do it by yuorself or with a partner. I chose to do it myself. to know which planet we were going to do, we drew out of a cup that had paper with planet names folded up. I got Pluto, but I didn't want it, so I secretly switched with Mackenzie Armestad because she had Jupiter but wanted Pluto. In Com. Arts II, we got into groups (yesterday and the day before), and did a packet on which traits Holden from the Catcher in The Rye had. I didn't care for my group because I had Chet, Daniel, and Todd. Daniel and Todd were okay because they actually contributed to the group, but all Chet did was copy down what we had and wrote on the dry erase board. I'm not sure If we're suppopsed to have notecards for Friday since we hadn't gone over the vocabulary yet, but I'm still going to do them just in case. Tomorrow we have a test in History of the Western World. I hope I don't do too bad on it because I currently have a C in that class because I have sort of slacked off from doing my homework. I have started my own guild on neopets, but it is a private one, and I am only allowing 13 members to be in it because I think 13 is a lucky and spiritual number. And because if there are too many members, I don't feel like we're as close. And I want to actually feel like I know the members. I learned that my poem THE NEWBORN FOAL is scheduled to be recorded on a CD, but when I received the letter, it was too late to tell them they could record it. Oh well, at least I know that it was good enough to be recorded. I worked out some of my problems with Alyson and I think we understand each other more, well hopefully^-^. I finally purchased Dynasty Warriors 3! Now I don't have to rent it and worry about it being late. Well, not much else..Later!

2003-03-22T18:54:00.000-08:00

Wow! Been awhile since I last posted! I finally turned 16 on the 13th, Yay! I got a portable DVD Player, some purse type thing, not sure ( I don't care about anything related to purses). A new suitcase for when my Family and I go to Orlando, Florida. I learned that my older sister Kim is coming. So now I don't have to worry if someone will go on a certain ride with me. The ones with big drops and stuff. I would go by myself if I had to. But I don't like to do things by myself. A downfall of mine.... My dad gave me $50 to spend on something because he didn't know what to get Alyson or I.We went to Nick and Jakes with My mother and older sister. Thank goodness not my dad! My dad took Alyson, ugghh... Carolyn..... eeeggh, and I to the Clay Cafe in the Great Mall of the Great Plains. I still need to finish what I started on though. I miss Brandon, I wish I could just talk to him. I actually feel like he listens to what I say. And I could talk to him for hours and not be bored. Unlike talking to my friends (so called friends, I don't really think they are). I bought Dynasty Warriors 3 Xtreme Legends, but now I think I should've bought just the regular one (Dynasty Warriors 3). Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to buy it. I have $62 and some cents. And a used one at Funcoland is $44.99. Gamestop has used ones for $42.99, but I don't know where there is one that is close. Finished Catcher in the Rye for English, man! Is that a boring book. I don't know why we had to read it. I think it was pointless. I saw Dreamcatcher Friday. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I thought it was pretty good. And on the 14th, I saw Bringing Down the House. The critics don't seem to like it, but I thought it was really good. One more day of Spring Break. I wish we didn't have to go back to school Monday, but we do.... Saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off today on T.V.. Ah man! my grandparents came over.Sooo boring! Spring Break hasn't been that exciting but at least I didn't have to go to school. Got my braces adjusted Thursday and already I have a ligature fall off, and this time I don't know how it came off. When Alyson goes to her appointment my Mom is going to see if I can have it replaced. This week has been kinda stressful. My sister is always talking about how people should be hygienic and she is totally hippocritical. I wish she would just do what she tells others to do about her hygiene, I think if she did that then other might be more willing. It just irritates me when people are hippocritical. I hope things will be better next week even though I'll have to go to school. I took my 5.1 test that I missed, I think I did pretty well, but I still need to make up my 5.2 test. And it turns out that I have to recite the Dialogue for German. I don't have the paper to study because Frau still has it. I hope I don't have to do it the first day we come back. I would hate that. I can't remember any of it. Maybe I can ask for it so the day after I could do it. I really hope I don't have to do it the day we come back. Well, I don't have much else to say. I wish I did...

2003-03-09T19:22:00.000-08:00

I was sick Tuesday and Wednesday....:( I threw up the night of the day I was sick (the first day). the next day was better, but I didn't feel good enough yet to go to school. The good thing is that I made up most of the things I missed. I only need to make up History, and German I, and Earth-Space. Everything else I made up^-^ Friday my mother and step-father gave Alyson and I an early Birthday present. It was a portable DVD Player! But, I think that they gave them to us early because we were went to my step-father's mother's for her Birthday which was on Saturday. It was sooo boring! Frau Hargadine doesn't think I'm ready to take the 5.1 test. I think that's a bunch of bull, I have a B in the class, which is pretty good for another language. And I always get good grades on tests, or at least 98% of them! I could take the whole chapter test right now, and we haven't started the last part of chapter 5! That just pisses me off. I think she should give me more credit than that. Anyway, on a lighter note, only three more days 'till Spring Break! Yay!!! Although I wish it were only three more days 'till Summer Break, that would be sooo much better. I'm sick of going to school. And I used to think Frau was a good teacher, and I kinda liked her, but my opinion is rapidly going into the negative. Micheal says German is the only class he looks forward to in school. Which I don't understand, because I don't think it's all that great. I don't have any friends in there, and the only other Sophomores in there and guys who I really could care less for. And the Freshman girls are soooo annoying! They're always screaming or talking all at once really loudly. I'm not saying there aren't any good people in the class, but most are annoying. Nick Brady for one. I am soo glad I'm not sitting around in the vicinity he is. Micheal isn't bad. I feel that if I wanted, I could actually have an intelligent conversation with him and enjoy talking to him. Which is hard for me. Usually people who I can have an intelligent conversation with, I don't like. And Micheal seems willing to talk to me, which is good. There are other people who seem somewhat intelligent, but they're either uptight (or seem to be), or are stuck up, or have NO common sense. Tomorrow there will only be two days!^-^ I miss talking to Brandon, I wish he could come from Topeka with Kim on my Birthday, but of course it's only Kim. but at least she's coming. I want to post results form tests, but all the HTML is at my Dad's in a word document on my computer so I'll have to wait. Gotta go! Don't want to hear my mother tell me to go to sleep and take out my contacts.

2003-03-03T12:23:00.000-08:00

I still have the highest score in English, yay! I talked to my older sister, Kim, today. I can't wait 'till she comes over. I miss her. It only took about a minute for my appointment with the orhtodontist. But I'll have to go back on the 22nd, I think it's the 22nd anyway. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go to first hour, but I ended up going anyway. But at least I didn't have to present. Chet wasn't here today, thank the Lady and the Lord! But Jennifer was, I wish she wasn't in my fifth hour. Actually, I would rather Chet be here than her, which says I don't care for her at all. She acts like she's really smart, but in reality she's dumb. Only three days next week. My mother says she's going to give us (Alyson and I) one or some (I can't remember), of our presents early. I think that's pretty cool. she said that one she has had for two months and I think she's more anxious for our birthday to come than we are. I have started another blog, yes, another blog, it's about Nicholas Copernicus, and although it's not complete, in fact, far from, I might add a link to it soon. I may branch out and start some other which will have related info to Copernicus. But I'm not sure, I'm still thinking about it. I haven't begun the site for KC's pictures. I can't find one. I may use Tripod and just link to that page, but I was hoping to find a site that is reliable to upload pictures and use a blog. I'll probably end up using tripod though. They're actually a good web host. But I don't know, I'm still thinking about it. Right now I'm in 7th hour which is Technology Literacy. I actually have free time!!!! ^-^ I got 19 out of 20 on our test (Tech. Lit.), something I forgot to mention last time (can't believe it, but I did^-^). Well, when something good happens, or if I feel like ranting, I'll update.

2003-03-02T10:36:00.000-08:00

Hey all. I found out that I have the highest score in my English class(Com. Arts II) I have a 104.3%! I think that's pretty cool. But I'l have to try hard to keep my grade up! We started a new thing in History and my Compare/Contrast paper won't be graded 'till Spring Break! That really stinks because I had to turn it in on the 24th of February and it won't be graded 'tll th 13th or even later of March. Oh well. Anyway the new thing is we have to find three important facts on someone or something from a list. each person has something different. I have Nicholas Czar of Russia. And actually most people have already presented their person or thing. There are only a few that still need to go, including me. I'm really nervous because I don't like to present in front of people. We turned in Bean Trees and have started The Catcher in the Rye. So far it seems like a good book, but the narrator, or main character(whatever you want to call them, Holden), keeps saying things like "I really did", or "It really was", it's very annoying. I hope the book gets better. In Health and Wellness, we took our unit test over nutrition. I don't know how I did, but I don't think I did too bad. We also got new seats in German I. Startes the KMA (Kansas Math Assesment) Friday. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, well, at least the first two parts. Who knows, the 3rd and 4th may be harder. I hope not though. We were supposed to take our unit test in Earth-Space Monday of last week (24th), but we ended up taking it on Tuesday. I got an 84%, which I think is pretty good, considering that I didn't even study for more than 5 minutes. ^-^ This weekend I'm with my dad and step-mom, arrghhh. Oh well, Only a few more hours. We also started a nw unit in earth-Space on Thursday. I didn't really care for the lab we had to do, the way the graph paper was, gave me a headache. And I don't get headaches too often. At the Olathe library, I checked out two books, one on palm reading and one on tarot cards. I don't think I'll actually use either one but I thought it would be good to understand each of them a bit better. Oh, it seems like Chet won't leave me alone, once in the hallway, when I was standing outside our 5th hour room(we both have the same 5th hour) talking to my sister, he threw bits of pretzels from his bagat me. Man I hated that. He has also ran into my desk while I was sitting in in, repeatedly. And he knew I didn't like it. And when I closed my eyes to rest them, when I opened them again, he said no sleping in class. As if I would, and I'm sure he actually does. I just wish he would leave me alone and bother people who do like him, such as this girl named Jennifer, whom I hate, but I'm nice to her because I don't want to seem mean. I know she likes him becasue she writes on the whiteboard that he likes so and so, and she also writes in his notebok when he isn't in the room. Well, I guess I shouldn't think about it too much, but I really wish he would respect my wishes and not annoy me. I'm so glad Spring Break starts on my Birthday!Yay! Last year was the only year that I can remember that I had to go to school on my birthday, and that was to take tests. I'm really glad this year isn't the same.Monday, I have an appointment to get my archwire put back on my bracket on which it came off, because my ligature came off while I was brushing my teeth. Over the week, I got to look at cars with my mom and step-dad. I'm glad it was them and not my other set of parents. *Sigh* I haven't heard from Brandon, but I hope I will hear from him soon. I know he can't call me because his dad resigned from his work becase he didn't like his boss ( I don't understand because don't most people not like their boss?) Anyway he can't call, because only their cell phone gets long distance. And I don't know his email address, he knoew mine but with my Junk Mail filter at Hotmail, it may not actually let me see it because it could go to the Junk Mail folder, and after a certain number of days, those messages get deleted, and since I don't check my email, or at least Junk Mail, that often, I probably don't even know he emailed me. Anyway, I just hope I can get in touch with him soon. I miss him. He's the only person outside family who I feel really understands me, and make me feel like I can be silly without being strange, ya know? My sister thinks no one likes her, which I don't understand because she's had at least three boyfriends. If anyone doesn't like anyone it would be no one likes me, because I've had zippo boyfriends and I have only a few friends, and their not that close to me, ( at least I don't consider them to be close friends). I took some more tests. If and when I feel like posting them I will. I don't feel like it right now so I'm gonna end here. Maybe I'll post sooner than later next time, instead of waiting till the 14th of this month of something like that. But I was real busy last week and weekend. Hopefully not the case this week!

2003-02-14T15:26:00.000-08:00

Wow, haven't updated for a while!........I learned in History that we have to do a common assessment, it's going to be really boring. I am researching Isabella d'Este, and there is virtually nothing on her! Arrggghhhh! I hate it. I mean there are tons of websites with info on her, but like no books! And books that do have info on her have less than two sentences on her. Yesterday this guy let me have one of his Yu-gi-oh cards, I thought that was pretty cool. *Sigh* Today is Valentines Day.....Not a day I'm too fond of..... But oh well, tomorrow will be a new day, and I don't have to go back to shool 'till Wednesday! My sister gave me the Beanie Baby Velvet, and I got her a Beanie Baby called Carnation. Mrs. Elkins gave an assignment that required a question for each topic in chapter 22, plus a question for each paragraph which there are 43 of! I know I won't enjoy tomorrow much because I will have to be with my dad and step mother ( the witch, as an expression)! I have been thinking about joining the Husky Hooligans next year; they try to keep school spirit up, along with fundraising and trying to make the school a better place to be in. I have also been thinking about taking this Lifeguard program which the school has set up. I don't know why, it just seem like it would be a good thing to do. I am planning to post some new poems once I find them..... I have one called Protecting a Woodland Realm, but I don't think it's that great. Any input would be great. I hope it isn't too bad. Moonlight Dancing, I like but I don't know if it's that good either... Today, I got very upset by this guy named Andy Weiss, he is such a A************! He first disses my favourite subject, and then he insults my favorite author, in turn insulting me. I HATE him! I also didn't aprreciate the fact that he said English was worthless, and he was reading something he didn't unbderstand. I say if you don't understand it, don't read it. If you want to read it and it's difficult to understand, first learn more about English and how things are used to symbolize other things! Arrggghhh. What made it worse was that it was Tolkien! My all time favourite author! That to me, is an insult to the author, a mockery of his/her writing. I know I'm being self-centerd but that is what I tulyr feel. Anyway, on to something else. Today I learned that my dad signed my sister and I up to this sweetheart thing at his church, this week has not been good overall. Well, at least I'll be able to see my sister Kim on Sunday, or maybe it will be Monday. Either way, I'll get to see her, I miss her. Also I have been thinking of adding a page dedicated to my cat KC, along with my sister Alyson's cat, Tiger, and Tuffy, my older sister's kitty! I have found pictures of KC, but I haven't been able to find pictures of Tiger and Tuffy, I know I put them somewhere*rummages through albums and personal junk, throwing this and that behind her* *sigh* maybe I can find some later. Oh! I got a hundred percent on my Bean Trees test! Yay! I also got a hundred on my Algebra review, which is pretty good for me, not too good at math!^-^ I wouldn't have gotten a hundred percent without my sister though! Thanks *big hugs*;). I also learned that I am Pisces with Taurus rising, the description actually fits me pretty well. Well, hopefully things go better next week!^-^

2003-02-05T15:26:00.000-08:00

Busy week! Today I had a test over Bean Trees in Communication Arts II. I hope I did okay on it. Yesterday I had to present in History of the Western World. I also had to present in Technology Literacy monday. There was a lot of other stuf, but those are the things I really don't like. I just can't wait until the week is over! My older sister came over, so that was good. My braces don't hurt as much, so that's good. I joined a yahoo group. It's for beginners on aromatherapy, I have always been interested in that. I hope to get some boks to read, I feel like somethings missing, but I don't know what, I wish I knew. Maybe later I'll find out what it is. I also took a test for which Tarot Card I was. I'll post the result when I have more time. I saw Darkness Falls, it was scary, well, I thought so. My twin sis. talked about killing herself Monday. I tried everything I could think of to convince her not to. when I started crying and asking what I could do to ake her happy. She became angry, I cried more and she left. I hope she gets better.

What I was going to say before I had to give up the computer was that I have also been promoted to a member. I have 95 posts! that's more than my sis, and some other people who signed up before me! Today I found out that this kid named kyle is going to sweetheart with valerie. I'm just glad I won't be there! I went to homecoming when I was in 9th grade, but it blowed, it was totally boring. They didn't even have good music! Yesterday I learned that Brandon has braces too, he has had them for about a year now (I'm told), so I feel somewhat better!^-^ I seem to be making more friends in my online communities than in person! Bastet, sadly has died, she was a very important member of Circle Of Souls! She always projected positive energy. Thoug she may not be with us all in body, and has gone to somerland, her spirit and energy projected has stayed, along with the positive effects she gave to everyone....*bows head in silence* I hope her husband doesn't have too bad of a time, although it must be hard for him.... Everyone has been very supportive to him though. I couldn't expect less though. Everyone is great, very nice and supportive. Ok, well, that's the rest to my post from yesterday!

Today I got my braces on... I hate them, and they hurt, I don't know how people eat properly with these. I would gladly keep the spacers, I thought they were kind of bad, but they weren't this bad! I learned that my next appointment is on my birthday! Nooooo! It sucks. But I have to wear these for two years, thenevery year after that for the rest of my life, I have to wear a retainer at night. Today I just wanted to go home after I had my braces on, but my mother wanted me to go back... I started crying a few minutes after they were one and I had seen what I looked like. But I guess I should be thankful I don't have any headgear! Tomorrow is late arrival, Yay! I am also a moderator at Wicca.ws! I'm a moderator for the Teen Pagan forum. I think it's great.I hope to find some more books that could help me find my path, even though I know what I want to do, I want to see if anything can help me improve some things^-^ I'm going to have to make up two tests. In the same class! I can't wait until I get the braces off, even though it won't be until my senior year! :(;(. Right now Tiger is sitting on my lap, she seems to be following me, she laid on my stomach in my bedroom, and she came into the bathroom whenI didn't want her there, and now she is here. I don't know what she wants, but I wish she would give me some privacy. I found out that my older sister is supposed to wear her retainer but she doesn't even know where it is! Well,I have to give the computer to my sis. Update later!

2003-01-23T11:39:00.000-08:00

Today is a snow day! Yay! I've promoted from Junior Member to Member in Circle of Souls! I plan to get some materials for performing rituals. Right now, I can't do anything because I only have a candle. And you need other things to properly perform them. I have a few things I'm pretty sure I'm going to get, they're at a craft store. I can't remember the name, but I know where it is! All I need is the money... which will take a while. Seeing as I don't have a job! But I can do chores around the house to get some!^-^. I've posted new test results! Well, I actually posted them yesterday. Colorado won the game last night, by one point!:( I personally think the could have done better. But that's my thoughts on the situation^-^. If I remember correctly, the score was 59-60. I also will post my latest poem today, since I have the time!^-^

2003-01-22T19:53:00.000-08:00

I wrote another poem! Yay! hehehe... anyway, I'll probably post it tomorrow. Today I went to Wicca.ws to discover that I'm ranked as a senior member, which is soo cool! I hope to stay that way(I don't know if you can lose rank). Today in Com. ArtsII my teacher helped each person with their 2nd draft on their interview. I thought that was great, because, he could help us more than our classmates. It would really help with the Final Draft! Next Year I plan on taking Astronomy, Meteorology and APIII(Com. Arts). That's about all I have planned, I'm not sure about other classes though. I'm pretty sure I'll be taking AlgebraII though. Hopefully next year will be better than this year, seeing as this year is better than last(for grade level^-^). I got spacers today, they are really uncomfortable. But I have to have them before I get the actual braces. I don't want to get braces but I also do. I don't because I think they will make me look worse than I already do. I do want them because they will (in the long run) make me teeth better looking, and I will probably have a better smile^-^. At Circle of Souls, I have received many recommendations for books that could help me out. Once I get a few, I'll probably be really busy reading them all^-^. Well, alot happened today, it snowed, although I remember the weather person saying it was going to snow tonight, not today! Oh well! I hope we have a snow day tomorrow but I doubt it:(. If we don't it's not that big of a deal though. At least we had one snow day this school year^-^. I am currently watching KU basketball, they are going up against Colorado. At this moment the score is KU-55 Colorado-51. I hope KU wins! Well, that's about it that I want to talk about! Write later!

2003-01-20T17:37:00.000-08:00

I finally posted my poems. Today I went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. It turns out that my sister has a cavity. I brush my teeth twice a day but now I'm going to floss too. I don't want that to happen to me! I wish it were summer already! On the 29th, I have to get braces, it totally sucks. The only good thing is that I get to miss most of school; but still,I wish I didn't have to get them! Over the weekend I saw Kangaroo Jack, it was pretty funny. I didn't do much besides that. I played a new video game, The Sims for Playstation2 but it's not like that is very exciting. Today I wrote another poem, but I think I'll post it later. I signed up with TeenPagan.net. So now, I am a member with Wicca.ws, Circle of Souls.net, and TeenPagan.net! Well, that's about it, not that great of a weekend huh? Maybe tomorrow will be more eventful, or the week!

2003-01-16T19:14:00.000-08:00

Today was a Snow day!Yay! Too bad it was only one day!:( Tomorrow we'll go back to school! Today I connected with nature to send positive energy to a mother in need. I learned about her from a forum in the website circleofsouls.net. I just hope I was of some help and that all my positive energy is received by her! Ok. I think I may not ever find a belief system that truly goes with all my beliefs but Paganism, Wicca, and Druidism are the closest I've come to. Now I have the choose which one! It's so hard though! I think that if I can't decide, then I'll do what I think is right for my rituals and spells.^_^ Today was pretty boring, I even had enough time to write two long poems, and I usually write short ones! I posted the two poems on CircleofSouls.net. So far I've had positive feedback which I am grateful for! I'll probably post them with my other poems tomorrow! I have a lot of homework that I didn't get done the night before so I'll post later! I hope everyone has a great day!

2003-01-14T19:27:00.000-08:00

Today two more people complimented me on my hair! So I guess it is a good change. Tomorrow, I have to present two things, a presentation about my birthday, and a presentation about an invention that we think of that would make life easier or better for History of The Western World. i thought about customized medicine for animals, similar to what it starting to be done with humans but for animals. It would improve the speed at which the animal gets better which could really help with endangered species. I hope I get at least a decent grade since I didn't spend much time on it. With both presentations though, I will not enjoy presenting them, I don't like to talk in front of a large group.... I wrote a few things for Wicca.ws, so far two of the three have been published on Wicca.ws! I hope to submit more in the future however!^-^ Alyson was in a bad mood today, I don't know why... It seems like lately that's all she's been like. On the bus she said that all humans are evil, babies, they haven't even done anything to be called evil. I don't have much else to say... I might update this tomorrow if I have the time!

2003-01-13T16:17:00.000-08:00

I think Paganism is closer to my beliefs and way of life, although Wicca relates to me, I feel Paganism is better for me. Finished my interview before it was due... I knew it would work out! Today I brought almost all my 76 books from my father's to my mother's(since I am going to live with my mother now instead of going back and forth each week). I just can't seem to get along with my father, especially his wife...UUgghhh! Gosh I hate her! she says she believes everyone should be treated equally but she doesn't treat everyone equally, especially when it comes to religion. Her philosphy is that if you don't believe in God then you're wrong and you're a sinner. I hate that! It's not only with religion though, supposedly, if it's what she says, then it's right, if it's what you say and it isn't the same as what she said...you're wrong. I don't like people lie that. I always try to let everyone say what the think and then figure out which is right(if there is a right answer). Anyway, my sister is Neo-Pagan and I'm hoping that she will help show me the way. In Health and Wellness today, we started watching a video called "Surviving Highschool" I think it is kind of stupid. I already know about the things they have talked about. And I'm always nice to new students and I never make fun of or bully anyone. But I guess there might be some kids who need to learn not to do that. That that makes others feel more than just bad, it could make them feel like wanting to kill themselves or others especially the ones who give them a hard time. But on a lighter note.. people seem to like my hair in this perm, I love it, so far three people have complimented me on it, and that's saying something for me. Well, anyway that's about it!

2003-01-11T13:08:00.000-08:00

Today I had my perm redone tighter... so it should hold longer!Yay! Friday we started a power point presentation in tech lit on our birthdays. It's about what happened on our birthdays.. not necessarily the year and day but just the day. Not much interesting happened on my birthday though, so my presentation will be boring. I started chapter nine in Simple Wicca. So far the book has really helped me understand what Wicca is all about. Although I don't think I'll practice Wicca how most do. I know that I am probably going to be a solitary practitioner because no one really views the world the way I do. There might be, but no one I know. Instead of honoring gods and goddesses, I'm going to worship the earth and everything she has to offer. Each time there is a change of season I shall hold a ritual. No I won't sacrifice anything, including animals. I don't believe in that. Instead I will just take time out to relax and try to connect with the energy of earth, using incense, or candles along with herbs and food. The food will be left outside for various animals to feast on. The herbs will be placed on either side of me. I won't go into all the details because it would be a lot to read and type. but for anyone who has misunderstood, I AM NOT I repeat, I AM NOT worshipping the devil. I hope no one actually believes that I do. My interview is due Monday, and I still haven't started it. Oh well, I know I'll get it done in time... I always do!^-^ I hope Monday is a good day.. It should be! Correction, I am not going to Orlando, Florida on the 29th, instead I'm going on May 30th! Sorry for the wrong Info! But I'm still coming back on the 7th!^-^ Gotta go!

2003-01-09T16:09:00.000-08:00

Yay! I finally received my password! My username is Minyalhaw (my elvish name^-^), I can finally log on and truly see what the site has to offer... so far it seems pretty good! today in Science we did a lab with dishsoap and table salt. The dishsoap represented magma or lava, and the table salt represented silica. It was supposed to show how the more silica there is in a lava or magma, the thicker it becomes... it was kinda boring... but then, so is the class.... Tomorrow I have 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th hour, today I had 2nd, 4th and 6th (block days). Anyway, tomorrow will hopefully be more eventful...oh well. Although lunch time was great, I had a great time, the people I was with were really funny. So that part of the day was good. I fond some websites which offered more info on Wicca and Paganism, when I have the time, I'll post a link for it, but I have to go! Update later!

2003-01-08T17:38:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is late arrival, Yay! I get to sleep in! Saturday I am getting my hair redone, it was permed about a week ago to be wavy but it is too loose for the time it's been permed, so like I said earlier, I am going to get it redone, this time tighter so it will actually stay longer. I have learned that Spring Break starts on the 13th of March! Yay! My birthday!^-^ In my German class we did kind of Simon Says, but it was three people who were up in the front of the class, and the others in their seats chose what the three had to do.... Brian, Kyle and I were the first up there; of course I didn't want to be up there, it was kinda embarrassing, but I guess it wasn't that bad. I still haven't received my password. How long does it take? Started a new chapter in Western World History today and a test over it Friday! I don't think that's fair I think it should at least be Monday. Two days isn't much time for a chapter to be learned and then be tested on. Oh well, I hope I don't do too bad since I can't change it!

2003-01-07T19:57:00.000-08:00

I learned that I will be leaving to go to Orlando,Florida on May 29th. I'll be getting back on June 7th! It'll be so much fun! I can't wait! My sister finally cheered up, Yay!!! Hopefully Alyson will feel better tomorrow... I can't stand it when she's upset, she makes me feel like it's my fault even if I know I didn't do anything. In Health and Wellness we have to we have to do a stupid Health Journal, I don't get the point, it's not like anyone cares about it. I hope tomorrow will be better than today. Right now I'm watching Just Shoot Me. It's really funny!^-^ I hope that everyone has a good day today and everyday! Tomorrow I plan to post some more poems!^-^ I may also have more links... who knows! Not me, I'll just play it by ear!

2003-01-07T17:16:00.000-08:00

Still no sign of my e-mail containing my password for Wicca.ws! Back to school today I have two new classes second hour I have Health and Wellness, and seventh hour I have Technology Literacy. Last semester I had Career Exploration second hour and I was a teachr's aide seventh. For the most part the change is good, but there are some things I wish had stayed the same. Got new seats in Western World History which is first hour. I like the change, I had been waiting for a new seating arrangement even before Christmas Break! Also got new seats in Earth-Space we could choose where we sat, I chose to stay in my same seat because it was in the back and I didn't want to be in the front, I also liked were I was. I could see everything from where I was perfectly and I didn't want to move someplace where I couldn't. I only had Geometry homework which is good. Since I didn't receive my password today I really hope that it will come tomorrow. If not, I don't know what I will do. My sister seems to be in a bad mood and she wont even try to cheer up, I wish she would because she has started to bring me down too! NOoooo!!! Today has actually been good and I guess she doesn't like it when days are good. I don't know, but it sure seems like it. I wish she would try to cheer up. Oh well, I can't force her to. Tomorrow is going to be around the seventies... Yay!!! But now we need some rain.... It has been at least a month since the last rain :( It hasn't even snowed! Well. that's all for now, signing out! ^-^

2003-01-05T23:17:00.000-08:00

Arrrggghhhh! Still haven't received my password. What is taking so long? All I want to do is log on and see what the website really has to offer, besides the fact that I want to be a member already! Sheesh! I don't think e-mailing a password should take a whole day! I hope it comes soon, I'm bored out of my mind at this moment in time. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't get upset, I mean it could be worse, in several different ways, which I won't go into a rant which would take up at least a page if not more. Waste of time that could be spent doing something better. Maybe I'll do some stretching... that usually calms me down... or I could get a massage...Mmmm... good.. yea that's what I could do. No wait, I can't because it's too late at night. NOOOOoooo!!!!!! I guess stretching is what I'll have to do..... I hope no one else is as stressed as I am. Gotta go! Maybe next time I update, I will have received my password!

2003-01-05T12:31:00.000-08:00

Today I signed up with Wicca.ws I have yet to receive my password though.I hope to find others with my interests, but I think it will be hard to do that. I do not think very many people share my interests.Although I admire all religions that worship the earth or nature, the two that have really stood out to me are Paganism and Wicca. Even though I have not yet read about Paganism I feel Wicca is the one for me. If I find I prefer Paganism over Wicca when I learn more about it I may take that path. I have not declared which I have chosen for I do not know which I shall choose. Hopefully I can choose the right one for me. I hope my password comes soon... I'll probably change it to make it easier to remember! Well if nothing else happens today, hopefully something happens tomorrow (something good, hate for it to be bad). Unfortunately I have to go back to school Tuesday. I guess it s better than tomorrow!

2003-01-04T22:57:00.000-08:00

A few minutes ago at a local Wal-Mart Supercenter I was asked to show an employee my receipt. Now this wouldn't have upsetted me if he had asked the lady behind my sister and I but he didn't. I don't find that fair; who's to say we stole something and she didn't. It's like African-Americans or others to be checked but others not. If this country really does consider everyone equal, shouldn't stores check everyone intsead of certain people? Just a thought. Maybe I overreacted but I don't think so. I think everyone should be treated equally no matter what the situation. If there is anyone who disagrees with me fine. But, I will defend what I think is right, even to the bitter end!

2003-01-04T13:00:00.000-08:00

Today I started a new Chapter in the Book "Simple Wicca" A book which explains Wiccan Beliefs. I hae learned much so far. I am thinking of converting to Wicca. Unlike what many people think, Wicca is not a practice involving "Dark Magic" or worshipping the Devil. It is a religion which celebrates the Earth and it's Seasons. Things that are GOOD, NOT BAD. I hope to inform others so there won't be as many people who look down upon Wicca or Wiccans. Along with Pagans. They are NOT bad people, they are good people they only want to help others not put curses on them. But oh well. I can't change everyone's thoughts but at least I can try!
