I Forgot

I can drive again! Today feels like friday. Mmnh IHOP sounds good. I am really good at procrastination. I haven't my english yet.

Couldn't have planned it better myself

Oh today was a good day. I had everything planned out. After school I was going to go to the Starbucks at 8th and Colorado sit in the brown comfy chair closest to the door (that way you can see all the hot Paramedics as they walk in and out with or without their coffee. And you can see the fire trucks that go down Colorado at least hourly) and work on reading the book for my English paper (Troilus and Crysade) then work on the paper all while drinking the Starbucks beverage of my choice. Life is bliss how much better could this have been today was a good day, too good. So walking out to my car I had to go from one level, the parking lot, to the grass which then turns into the sidewalk. But before the grass there is a 1 ½ to 2 foot ledge. I have never had a problem with it until today. I lifted my knee and put in on the ledge. You with me ok, I thought I lost ya aye. Then when I pushed, jumped, hopped, or whatevered onto the ledge... DUN DUN DUN… my pants ripped. Yes believe it or not there I was standing in the sidewalk in front of Bishop Machebeuf High School, Denver Colorado, Uinta way with a rip in my pants from where the zipper ends going down to my right knee. That’s ok. Save me the drama cause no one saw. So that kinda ruined my Starbucks plan. Darn! So now I sit at home distracted by my computer screen and the many messages received by she who must always have something to read, ignoring my English and blogging so those with nothing better to do with their time might be entertained. Oh but at 8th and Downing Andy called and we talked till I got home and then some. Oh look our Christmas tree! Wow that blends in with everything. I wonder when we got it I haven’t seen it there before, must be new!

Who needs English anyway?

Dabiase came in and gave us the AP3 speech and said he expects to see Jammy and Haas in his class. Gosh I’d love too but the work load will be like impossible!!
I should probably do my English paper but what’s the point. If three people can turn in the same paper with different font and receive catastrophically different grades although it was word for word, I think there is something wrong with Waaatson’s grading scale. He was talking to the Villarreal’s about how he grades and he used me as an example... Snaps for Val (Pause) and said “I know I have to grade her differently or else he dad will be very upset” or something to that extent. Ok it’s cool that he wants to grade people but he shouldn’t do it for the parent’s sake. I mean really. I could totally not grasp the concept but yet turn in a paper and get no lower than a 95. But let’s just make sure he keeps it like that I don’t need to work any harder his class is already impossible enough.

That's not something you hear everyday

Megan was talking to me about how she didn’t do a good enough job brushing her teeth and could still feel plaque, and Chris was giving me trivia questions to answer while wrapping silverware. What is the Norwegian word for “Hot Steam Bath”? We had to make like five of everything on the menu for some company it was hectic. And Megan don’t think I didn’t see the broccoli you put in my Japanese pan noodles. We have a new cashier now, his name is Tony. I don’t work again until Sat. Josh is really weird it’s not cool to work around him because he was supposed to cash the other night and he wasn’t, so Tony was cashing alone and Chris had to have me stock the cooler. Then when I’m stocking cooler and josh is wrapping silverware he tells me to cash because there were people waiting. OK so not my job when he’s perfectly capable. And then last night it said I didn’t clock in so I had to clock in and then out. I worked or “Logged” a minute. Chris said he would change that, I hope he remembers to.

Random what-have-yous

We had our Christmas party. It was a success. Every time I got a chance to talk to Andy Maura would come in and steal the conversation so I would leave. Really got annoying.

What ever frosts your cupcake. New Expression for me. Or… Whatever puts fizz in your pop. He he I am very creative and budget my time wisely, Mom told me the 1st one and Doyle told me the 2nd one. I crack myself up.

Oooh snaps for Val! (Pause...) I really am hilarical. I got a 97 on my geometry test! And I finished Christmas shopping (for the most part).

Work and Wierd Josh

I worked Saturday evening which I normally don’t do. Josh was there. We didn’t say much maybe like twenty words total. But I carried on a very interesting silverware wrapping conversation with Noel. We talked about how people com in and buy food and just sit there and talk and take two bites and then leave the six dollar meal. And how people talk about the craziest and stupidest things… like how the paint is chipping off their house walls or something like that. Something that’s not really a big deal but people makes it out to be. I like talking to him he’s a really cool guy. He’s my buddy. Nothing else to say except that “If geometry was meant to be understood, it wouldn’t have been developed by the Greeks”.

Parade of LIghts

Lucky me! I went to the Parade of Lights with Andy, Cameron, and Pat. Pat and Cameron left us, so Andy and I were left together. It was cold.It was awkward but we still talked. The parade was really actually pretty cool. All the public high school marching bands were in it. They wouldn’t let the church related float into the parade because “it shows religious symbolism that might offend others”. Ok what’s the point of celebrating Christmas (a Christian holiday) if your not going to celebrate the reason for it. Hickenlooper wants to take the Merry Christmas sign of the town hall cause it offends people. What’s the point of putting up Christmas lights if you’re not going to celebrate Christmas? Get where I’m going with this? So I spent some tin=me alone with Andy, yeah for me. We went back to Pat’s house and had a very in-depth conversation about politics and religion 2:1 me and Andy against Pat. It was interesting because Pat said we as Catholics have nothing to backup our beliefs with, and called us as Catholics and non-liberals ignorant but he didn’t have anything to back up what he said. Everything he said was based off of Fahrenheit 9/11. That’s ok. Because of that conversation I was forty minutes late coming home and lost car driving privileges for a week. I feel bad though cause my friends and I were going to go to the movies but, Peter never called me back, and Maura said she wanted to go at seven but never called me back so I went with Andy to the parade.

Oooh I just want to grrh blu yoink... Destroy him

Mr. Watson has decided to rearange the seating chart yet again. He has also come to the conclusion that I have become “sassy, short tempered, and impossible to deal with at times.” When he said that everyone applauded. Everyone aplaudes when someone, walks through the door, or says something. It’s hilarious. Corey Jamroz lost car privileges (one can only guess why) just like me. Ooh and he has I little brother And I have a little brother, same age. Weird stuff if you ask me. He also tried to hold are class after school cause we were miss behaving in class. That wasn't good. Everyone got so pissed. He blocked the door that's not allowed it's a fire violation. I strongly dislike him with a passion. that's not all but I really don't want to talk about him.

Family Traditions and Comic Relief

The Christmas Carol was very good this year. I can now say that I’m not the only one who waves their hand in front of their face when they laugh. Katy and Megan understood but the friends that I took had no idea why it was so funny.

Thanksgiving

- Not the greatest. But if you have time, go see National Treasure.
What a success! I can now say that I have been snowboarding. It was fun, cold and really nerve-racking cause of the stupid people on the slopes. I was so sore the next day but hey, it was fun while it lasted. I definitely want to do it again.
