happiness

today was great, my fire didn't work, but my brownies look good, and i went to the library, found a book that i can passably use for a reading journal, saw more friends there than i had there for a long time (katie, caroline, julia q, eleanor, nicki, and Julia, in that order) and without Nicki and julia, we went to Jewel of India (we hadnt seen them yet) i hadnt been there yet, but it was awesome, the food was great (lol) and i found out Eleanor was this person on a forum, i wanted to laugh hysterically... yay. and then we went back, found Pretzel after a search, went to...i forget, i think we went to fok first, wandering around, it was cool, then we went to dirt cowboy cafe, and got cider and coffee and other awsome food...we of course went to the green, but thatwwas after katie left, i'm sure we went somewhere else first, oh well. at the green we had tons of fun with leaves, saw ellie, who i dont knw very well butis muchly fun, buried eveyone, had them "rise" made assembly lines, but stampeded by joggers, walked fences, in a messed up order... then we ran back to the library, i read Cinderella Skeleton with NIcki, im sure i did a lot more than this, will update when i remember... and did a lot of emailing thru-out the day. yay. was great fun.

coffee and fire

Cofee... lots and lots. I tried to make a fire, which was beautiful but never grew and eventually died. Ah well. Wanted to read Dracula in front of it. but it was too light anyway. hmmmm will be at library. need 2 go make brownies for soccer game. it will be canceled, i no it. dang. ergggg. Yes, i know, why do i only want to be on this team when i can't play? sucks. life is playing a trick on me. this is a very weird post. sorry folks. its the caffine.

Snow

"life is better caffinated" i dont know if i made that up or not, but cofffee is sooo fun! Today my dad actually made it, so i put sugar in a cup to pour coffee on top of, but then i thought my dad might notice the missing coffee, so i added coffeeg rounds, thinking it would be like chocolate covered coffee beans. Nope. Way too sugary and gross. So then i added water, cus i realized it was instant coffee. better, but still gross. So i got a new cup and sugar. and life was good.

I wetn to the doctor about my finger today, and although i still cant touch it to my fist all by itself, he doesnt know that, and i can play in my last game if the weather is ok. it would suck if it was rai/snowed out but not rescheduled. i will hope hard. i still have hw. Drat. Bye everyone.

p.s. i forgot to say, it snowed! yay! but everyone made too big a deal about it. I like it, and sometimes i can be hyper about it, but i was in way too much of a floaty-mood for that. ah well. 'tis pretty....

costumes, teachers, odd thoughts, happy things (in that order)

Well i finally got a halloween costume today: im a vampire, which is fun, and i have a cloak (which cost me a ton more at iParty than Walmart, but Walmart had horrible costumes) but i did get costume makeup at Walmart, and the cutest lil bat to be my familiar... which vampires dont have, but vampires need vampire bats...

Why do teachers like boy-girl arrangements so much? Its messing up everything in english, and even on other classes it seems to be a recurring theme... It bugs me. Ah well. So what the boys (mostly) wouldnt get any work done? (Notice i added mostly. im not stereotyping the other gender too much.)

I got a scarf of happy fuzziness on impulse today... saw it through a window to Maurice's in West Leb, which i never go to, but was like, must... get... so actually went and got it, but it's beautiful, (blue and brown, but a good brown) and im not too far in debt. And im looking for good buddy icons.

Pizza box at the Green

umm, not much hw. (yay) What happened today?... i know what happened after school... i had woodworking for the first time in ages... twas absolutely wonderful... i don't really like my elective choices for next quarter... i always get the math extra credit after getting really confused and erasing everything... reading some very awesome books... then after school i went to the library, forgetting about my soccer game, but did a little active reading, which exhausted me for some reason... so i read kid's books, heard voices that were probably real... went to town with caroline, katie, and nicki... bought ice cream, walked the fence, saw the pizza box open (or knew it was opening) watched a man do weirdly cool tricks with a silver ball, found the center of the pizza's birthplace, was part of a high-pressure system, and ran home at the stroke of 5 like a messed-up Cinderella.

Hop and Folk and Anything Else I Think Of

So I got up really late, kept waking up, groaning, and falling back to sleep. Nice way to handle the world, right? So I finally got up and my mom was like, remember the costume sale at the Hop? So I had two minutes to actually look awake and venture out into the rain, since my mom didn't think we'd find a parking space and we live close. So my fingers turned white and my nails turned purple, which was gross but interesting, and then we wandered thru the Hop to find the costume sale, which was hidden and turned out to be mostly used clothes. But I got some cool beltish things (one is gold and sparkly) and saw Eleanor just as my family wanted to leave, so we didn't really get to do much. But then we went to Folk and got a kinda nice shirt, which was 48 bucks, which basically means i cant get anything else for a while, and what i really wanted was one of the great skirts, but they were even more expensive. So next stop for skirts is Listen, which people keep saying but I never get around to going to. So then I came home and... ate. Which is random. And now i feel sick again. And I need to do hw. And read the gospel of Mark, which i started but can't get around to finishing for Sunday School. It's not like I'd remember it anyway. If i can I'll do it, but I might not. *topples over asleep*

Friday

Ummm.... i just felt like blogging, me and Julia and Caroline did the French area's recycling in the morning, but Madamey wasn't there, but then we saw her at lunch. And then it took me a while to decide whether to go to the dance or not, but i always do eventually for an unknown reason. my brother was wearing a weird mask and kept coming up to me. Nothing too amazing. And the Allison and I got rides form Eleanor, and talked about random things. And then I stayed up for an hour looking at a magazine with some really nice clothes, but also a real rabbit fur cape, so i dont think ill get anything. Then i fell asleep

tennis ball

We found a tennis ball at snack- was a lot of fun. To catch with one hand, wrong hand, on lamp post. Anna kept catching it on front of Allison and Caroline liked dropping it. I was amazed at our athletic abilities. Twas much fun. Meditative. Therupatic? sp? oh well. fun tho. could live like this forever. Testing isnt that hard- and there's lots of free time. Would that mean the long projects never ended? Would be very wonderful. My group is behid in S.S. oh well. Ms. Davis doesn't know how she's gonna grade them- if everyone fails, maybe she'll give us all 100%. Very logical, i know. It's cus of the... Coffee!

blow up the world

is a very interesting topic. As you can tell from controversity papers, too much is wrong with this world. Everyone would be a lot happier if it were blown up. Can you tell my mind doesn't have a lot to do during notetaking?

Saturday

I really haven't done anything, today or saturday. my parents went to my dad's 40th high school reunion last night, which was on my brother's birthday, so we all had to stay at someone's house and be babysit. Twas no fun. The two good things were we saw "the hithchiker's guide..." movie and i got to go on the appalachian trail for 15 minutes. but the trail was my only alone time on 24 hours. not fun. but i'm back. got geo and french hw done. put off the ss quest (don't like calling random organizations on the phone) and it easier for me to use a computer all the time on Science. hw terror, you know that nagging feeling at the back of your mind that tells you you should get going on something? yeah. been happening to me all week oh well. should start working on it. And im not at all upset about the Red Sox losing and being out of the playoffs. Now that they've won a World Series, i still like them, but my life has other meaning lol.

Testing, other stuff

Well we ate the chocolate covered coffee beans very quickly today. We will buy in bulk for next time. The math testing was muchly easier than reading, either you know it or you don't, no thinking needed. Except you had to write out what little you did think. And I am now evil for offering Mr. G one coffee bean. But he was laughing. later he said it was because of the caffiene and chocolate ad he could eat a whole bag in one sitting. So then we... went outside at lunch, oh before at snack we put weeds on pretzel, gave her green hair and all, it was odd. And then we went outside again at lunch, and almost finished Awakenings. Much odd fun today. And then I went to another away soccer game that a cant even really play in, but i still sorta had fun.

Parent Day Guides

I wrote this post night, but it was late, so i'm posting it now:

I just had so much fun! Un dinasaur danse aven un dauphin! Très drôle! We were council guides, me and Pretzel and Allison and Caroline and Kelly, and we all did fun stuff, and me and Pretzel sat in on English and Social Studies classes, and did two-minute writings. It was lovely fun, we saw Isabella (Ms Davis's daughter) and Madamee and Mr. Kitz and Ms. Sly, and talked about chocolate covered expresso beans, and unhelped the lost parents, talked about a comfy chair, and had cheerful bouncing balloons, and wanted to read and sleep but had lots of fun anyway. Yay! Yay! Youpi!

chocolate covered expresso beans

aye! just bought some! twas fun. What happened today? I took the tape off my awesome last color of my POC. Its painterly red and black thin swirly stripes. Love it very much. Then picture day-erg. not liking that. Anyway, not much of consequence that I can remember happening after that. Council meeting, and I forgot to reschedule my advisor meeting til after lunch. Im doing it Friday, but i'l probably get two points off. merph. But im still happy from iced coffee and worlds in pizza boxes, so all is good.

Pencil Sharpeners

Oh, and I also had a weird day at school today. Weirder than usually. With lots of testing all morning. Eleanor sat next to me, and we used my mini pencil sharpener a lot. It's now lucky, and it's very special, cus it knows who it is. It says pencil sharpener on it. It's very wise. Who else really knows who they are? Eleanor used it a lot, and it sulked when she used the mechanical one. But that was cus it made noise. So not we're going to make a mini one that knows who it is and makes noise. (the pencil sharpener in Davis wont stop whirring until you hit it on the head. Will that work with my brother?) later we went outside and climbed the wall. Then there was a movie, ans it was interesting. But some people laughed at some parts, and i thought is was interesting but a little sad, and not funny. But that's just me. Then I, on the spot, took H4 with Pretzel, Nicki, and Caroline. And went to the Libary. And saw Katie and went into town. Which is where the other blog starts. I'm SO caffinated. I should of listened to Pretzel. Can you decaffinate yourself? Bouncy bouncy. But i'm exhausted too. So just my brain is bouncing. My body wants, to but it's too tired. Sleep body. But not brain.

French Leaves

ok, I just typed ALL of this, and then it deleted itself, which really annoys me, but maybe it'll be as much fun the second time around. But the sugar is wearing off...
It be a sugar-and-caffiene-filled Julia who be posting- my mind is not fluffy anymore infact- it may be a headache. Ah well. My first iced coffee was bitter, but then i haven't had coffee for ages. so I drank it thinking it would grow on me. I am handwriting this since i just got home from the library, my siste ris using the computer, and i dont want to forget this.
Pretzel, katie, caroline and i went into town and had many odd conversations. First we went to Lou's because neither Kaie nor I had had iced coffee b4. they were out but we got junk food and orangina. I spent a lot, but that makes me feel rich and it was fun.
Then we went to the Hop to find iced coffee, but the line was long so we went down to backstage and up to the bathroom with the 3-way mirror. We talked about caroline's belt and blocking ourselves from seeing ourselves. The we went to the green, lay in the grass, caught leaves and discussed wether they were French ones or butterflies. We found an imbedded nickel, walked fences, and other fun stuff.
Then we went to the dartmouth bookstore and finally got iced coffee and more junk food. We went to Folk, looked at pretty clothes and discussed Christmas presents. Katie wanted a foofy skirt, Pretzel wanted iced coffee and i wanted World Peace. So now im getting a puppy named World Peace, or Wally or Worpy for short. We balanced on more fences, went back to the library and checked email. Cora was at the libary too. I got no books, but Nicki hugs. And lots of energy. Hummmmba! But that's not mine and and I'm not a llama. I'm pure caffiene!

my cast

my cast was just cut off, and I kept it, and I almost got sharpies on the way home, but then i realized i didn't have a new cast to sign! I hope that I cannot write without hurting mysewlf, and will therefore still be allowed my beautiful laptop. I llove him so much! For my english essay notes, I did all the different sections different colors, and the funny "Mr G. is the most wonderful teacher in the world" examples in red. So I want to keep it. But i also want my hand to get better so I can play soccer.

blog repeat

all my friends have already posted about this, but i have to write it myself too.

luch was soooo fun! Eleanor ate a hot pepper, it didn't look hot but maybe shes very good at controlling that sort of facial expression. And then we bought junk food- i am obsessed with the rasberry cookies now!- and Eleanor's gummi bears went "Now he's tall. Now he's short. Now he's tall. Now he's short." And eventaully even (v. creative) "Now he's diagonal." and when she eventually ate it, after much animal cruelty, which is part of my controversity topic, "Now he's dead." But at least no more pain. I think. I've never been digested.

itinerant

is the word i wanted to use in my title, which is nothing like intrepid, but that's ok, I have a bad memory, i seriously mixed the words up. So I meant mentally itinerant, which sounds weird. oh well. will do another post v. soon

Meaning of Intrepid

characterized by resolute fearlessness, fortitude, and endurance (webster.com)

Resolutely courageous; fearless. (http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/)

similar defs at thedictionary.com, http://www.bartleby.com/

k, so when I started the site i really thought intrepid meant "wandering", like an intrepid salesman. I think I first read a similar word in a short story in English class in 6th grade. It stuck with me. So I thought "mentally intrepid" would signify that i'm a very confused person who thinks odd thoughts and isn't sure who she is. Sorry if that's strangely deep. So anyway, intrepid turns out to mean "fearless and courageous." You could interpret that as meaning i'm unafraid of my mind, but that would only be partially true. So i officially say it means my mind isn't afraid of anything, although my body sure acts like it. But i still like "wandering" as a good defintion. Drat. But who cares?
