10/8/91 Ah, yes! Another day of school. As the cheerleaders would say when a dissection tray with a smelly dead frog in it is plopped down in front of them..."Um...Ew!?". Grr...I swear to god the cheerleaders in my school are so dense! I have one of them for a lab partner in Bio, and what can I say...she wins the dullard of the year award.
Turns being smart has it's responsibilities. I have to go to some award thing at school on the 28th...and much worse...I have to dress nice, like in a skirt or dress or something! "Um...Ew!?". My mom was like pushing me to get into the honor society and now that it looks like I'm gonna get in it...My mom is limiting EVERYTHING! "Keep your nose in dem books!" she says. "You'll never get into a good school if you aren't in the honor society!" she says. "Work for something your older brother never got!" she says. Oy! Sometimes I can't take her...There are just things annoying about parents sometimes you know? I mean...the fact that she can't work a computer if her life depended on it(not like I should talk...but anyways!) and the fact that she is always pushing me to do things that "my brother never did" just gets me miffed.
Hmm...this HSPT testing stuff is throwing my schedule off completely. I woke up at like 6am and since I don't have school till 10, I went online to mess around with my page. It doesn't seem to get really good. Oh well. Woohoo! I looked at my counter today! 21! Yeah baby, Yeah! My name is Austin Danger Powers. Ok...:::adds to her list of needed things::: I need THE HOME MOVIE OF AUSTIN POWERS! That is the best movie ever! Well...Seven is pretty good too...Brad Pitt !
I didn't see Ben again! :::begins to weep softly::: Jules said she saw him for like a split second at lunch...but when she tried to follow him, some evil teachers stopped her. Grr...damn teachers.
I got signed up for Simulator today. In case ya don't know what simulator is...it's some thingy that teaches you to drive right and stuff. Yeah right! Like it will help me! Suuuuuuuuure. Mr. Capone, the guy that signed me up, is sooo weird. My mom is like heavily involved with my school's athletic association thing, and he knows her. They talk about me all the time...Grrrreeeeaaaaat! Anyways, he was like "Amanda! Wow. Your sophomore year already!" I was about to say back to him, "Yeah. I've been in this hellhole of a school for a year now!", but I don't think a detention would go too well over with my mom. Ah well.
Ok goals for tomorrow....Find Ben and talk to him. Kill a few teachers here and there. And cause anarchy all over the school...Okay so the second two were a little far-fetched...but there's nothing wrong with dreams! :o)
10/9/97 Ok so I didn't see Ben today except for like a minute in front of the Powerade machine outside of the pool room. I just got my Fruit Punch Powerade and he was there waiting behind me to get one. He said "Hi Ajay" to me and I was like "Hey Ben!" and flashed him my best smile. Then since the soccer chicks were going out to the field and the game was starting (I take stats for Varsity) I had to go. So I was like "I gotta go now. See you later though!" and waved.
Game went cool! We won 1-zip! Kris had an assist but Amber scored the goal. I always cheer Kris on...she's like extremely talented in soccer...unlike me, but that's besides the point. Ben said to me in the hall once that I shouldn't have quit cause I was good...but in my book, beating Ben at soccer is nothing. I mean he doesn't play soccer, he's a football jock.
I got the best news from Jules today! In History class, instead of paying attention and doing work and stuff, she wrote me a note...in the note, it said that when she saw them walking they were walking far from each other and WEREN'T holding hands as usual. Hmm...a sign? Nah. Probably not. But there's nothing like a good step up and then a huge knock down! I just wish he'd break up with her! Grrrr...
I had to go to tap and ballet last night...GOD! It was hell. I hadn't been there in 2 weeks, so I was all sore and tight the whole night. And being there 2 hours straight is a pain. I'd go on my pointe shoe and my ankle would totally give up on me and I'd fall! I suck so much at that. I used to be good. I even have a tap solo...Woohoo! I'm soooo good!(sarcasm) I mean, I'm good when I put my mind to it, but when I really don't care about it and just skip class, I suck and really don't give a crap after that.
Man! Tomorrow we have to go to school at a normal time! No fair! Grrrr I like getting up at like 10 o'clock and going to school...I'd go online and mess with this page for like 3 hours before I left. Oh well.
Tomorrow Jules, Zoe, Luna, and I might go to a Haunten Hayride! Oooh! BOO! Sooo spooky! hehe Nah, they're actually pretty cool. These people dressed in cheesy costumes come up behind you while you're sitting on a stack of hay being pulled by a tractor and "try" to scare you. But since I've been going to the same hayride for the last 6 years, I can predict what happens. I mean some things change and get better(or worse), but I usually know what's gonn happen next. I always tell Jules to hide behind me or under the hay when the possessed bear with the chainsaw comes out. He has a real chainsaw(minus the chain) and he like puts it up in your face and runs it down the side of the hayride cart thingy. It scares Jules cause it makes the cart thingy vibrate, which scares her I guess.
I have to talk to Ben tomorrow! Jules is supposed to talk to him about "working in the trainers office" during baseball season. She's really gonna ask about that cause Cole does baseball and she wants to help. Personally I think she wants to get an excuse for wrapping his leg with a bandage or something. He still hasn't wrote back to my letter! Grr...I'm gonna kill Ben, but first go out with him...heh.
10/10/97 Hmmm...today did not have a good start. I woke up late, and had to like powerwalk with Zoe to the bus stop. I got to school and just didn't feel like I was in the "learing mode". First period, there was a surprise test...soon to be followed by a surprise F. Grr. In French class, we watched some video about how important dogs(chiens) are in France. They let dogs in practically EVERYWHERE! Geometry was anything but fun. We had to do like 3 pages for homework. I hate that class. Then there was Lunch. Blake was overly annoying today. I couldn't stand it and Luna couldn't either. Then art class. That class was just plain boring becuase I already finished my contour lines/hatching/crosshatching shell drawing. It turned out pretty good if I must say so myself. Then Bio. Ew. Mr. Humphrey gave us the whole chapter review, but fortunately, he gave it to us so we could finish it in class. I had to do it with my Lab partner, Jen. Everyone like hates her. It's pretty funny. She got one answer right and said, "See!? I'm NOT stupid like everyone thinks!" I just laughed it off. But she really is stupid...just TOO STUPID to see it.
But then, when I went to put my Bio book in my locker, when I was done and started to sprint for the stairs, I saw Ben....and Jessica...Hand in hand. I looked at them and they looked sooo happy. Then I thought about how stupid I was. If I just told him how I felt before all of this, that could have been ME! I ran upstairs and fought off the tears from my eyes.
In study hall, I just sat there and made fun of Jessica Little, a ditzy cheerleader that everyone hates, the whole time. She was wearing this white leather thing on her ankle and it looked like she was wearing 2 shoes or something. I'd just look at her, then look back at some senior named Alisha and we both laughed and made fun of her.
Hmm...History was interesting to say the least. We had to write some stuff on some big piece of paper....I wasn't paying attention so I really don't know what it was about. I just drew little doodles on it after they were done...ours was the most colorful and creative one up there!
THEN in Gym class we went outside to play field hockey...which is basically for me, just knocking the ball around like a golf ball. Anyways, Varsity football had a game...and since Ben is on the team...I was looking for him. I didn't find him because the whole team went off under the trees for some shade and a pep talk from the coach. I was so upset after I saw him and her holding hands. I mean my heart like dropped into my stomach and the pain was overwhelming. I just wanted to go hide... Hmm...
Tonight we're going to the hayride. It better be cool or it will be 9 bucks wasted.
