Zomg Inkheart!

So i was on the library website an a random link was Cornelia Funke's website so I went there and INKDEATH IS COMING OUT SOON (like around oct. 21st!!!) and i totally predicted the title! yaaayyyzzzz.

Not only that but I found pics from the upcoming inkheart movie. Complaints: Meggie is too fashy, Farid looks like a girl, Dustfinger doesn't have red hair and Elinor looks like a gyptsy. Here's the link.

Dustfinger looks good though, even though he's not how he's described in the book and moe is perfect!

I didn't go to the retreat

Because I was sick today, dizzy when i stood up and I had a stomach ache and my throat was sore. :-p I finished To Kill A Mocking Bird, it wa better than i expected.

:-P I feel grahss

I feel sick. That's my excuse for not having posted for ever. Even though I only started feeling gross on like sunday. I've had a cold forever though (the beginning of time, I swear! Ever since that Norse guy was carving his shoe, I was standing behind him snuffling and coughing on him. Ever wondered how a shoe could take that long? It's because he kept on having to sanitize it because I was throwing my dirty kleenexes at it and coughing and sneezing on him. In the beginning of time there was no such thing as covering your mouth.). I'm going to have to tuff tomorrow out because we have the PreSAT/ACTish things, or maybe PIT (pretty important tests). So I'm not going to miss those.

The play is moving along unsmoothly (It's only day two) I have to play babysitter/mother hen to a bunch of sixth grade girls that just about make you want to giggle/scream, I haven't decided what. One of them doesn't even want to be in the play and wants to be home in bed, she hasn't quit just because she won't get her money back. One of them is really helpful and mature though (thank god at least one of them is sane) then theres a some-what-helpful but a bit distracted one, who i appreciate also. The rest play their violins (in the middle of writing the script) lie to me go to the bathroom without asking, throw cheerios at eachothers face without cleaning them up afterwords, litter and play tricks on eachother. I'm CONSTANTLY having to do a head count to make sure none of them ran away and died. The scary scary part is: there are only FIVE of them! I was supposed to have two more but they haven't shown up yet. Also, having only known them about 2 1/2 hours, I know all of their names and nicknames ect.

So I wrote the script by asking them what two lines they'd all like and preoducing our section of the script soley off of their input, with my lines worked it. It's okay but I'm scared of giving it to the play director, I feel like it's too long, not focused enough, not funny enough, or generally sucks.

I hate the veteran's interview project with all of my heart. I wish it was dead.

That is all. *Bow*

New Take On School 2

(Read New Take on School before this one, and while your at it I have another new post down there too)

Heres my new take on all of my B-day classes:

History (SS): Taught by the same cool teacher as LRT. There is nobody I know in it, so that's really annoying. I just sit there during socializing time writing in my notebook. D-:. But Social Studies ha always been my best subject since like 6th grade. I like it!

Gym: It's okay... I have some friends in it, it's not too bad but I hate the fitness testing. At least we get to go outside and get some fresh air a lot!!

Spanish: Umm, it's okay, we mostly just play games for extra credit. Everything is pretty easy and I have two of my friends in my class so that's okay.

LA: I don't have any of my friends in the class but there are some cool people. My teacher seems really cool luckily. I sit at a desk with a hole big enough for a pencil, all the way through! It's pretty awesome... And yes, I'm talking about the quality of a hole in my desk because theres not much else to talk about.

There we go. I'm done.

My New Take On School

Okay, so I wrote a school rant before school began, so here's a post-school rant.

Band: *Shrug* It's okay, I mean, i have some friends in it, my teacher isn't unreasonable, the music is okay and if it sucks then I can laugh about it with my stand-buddy (mira). Not much wrong with it.

Science: This is where I start losing faith in the human race. My science teacher is the picture of ineptitude where I thought she was just mean. It took us 30 minutes just to write the daily notes!! And the daily notes just say what we're going to do in class (why do we have to write that down??) and frankly, they don't help anybody, they seldom make sense and just about make we want to rip my own head off! Plus, the stupid room is designed so that you can't see like a sliver of sky. You look out into the courtyard so you'd think, yeah you'd be able to see the sky, but nooooo they cover the upper parts of the windows with a bunch of whitish crap so you have to lean low next to the window just to see it a bit of sky. It's like your in a freaking cage, It's really annoying!

Math: My teacher is awesome and actually makes math interesting, but it's really confusing sometimes. But it's okay, because a lot of other people think its confusing too. It also seems that the homework is so much easier than the actual lesson. I'ts weird.

LRT: I like it, we're learning about immigrants and stuff and my teacher is pretty cool, even if the rest of the class is a bit sub-par. The subject is actually intresting and there's minimal homework. It's definitely a sanctuary in the land of madness (I don't have art, so something has to substitute for it.)

I'll post more tomorrow about my B day classes, because i'm sure you're all soooo interested.

Since Life Needs A Little Less Suckiness

This post is devoted to the happy things in life! (because of popular demand) Okay, the happiest things that have ever happened. (These are simple things, it's not like life changing moments people. I've noticed that the most complex things are the most tiresome. And come on, none of us have enough sleep to deal with tiresome things.)

Okay, number one: This was like the best moment of my life. I felt really crappy all during 1-2A at school, which was science. And just to help things, we were watching a gross movie about plagues. Icky, right? Bad moment in the life of Elesar, verdad? Nope, cuz then I went to the nurse because I couldn't really stay at school like this. Then I went hope and piled my blankets on my bed, turned the lights on (it was still dark! We have to get up to early...) and listened to my audiobook while all of youz guys were slaving away at school!! Ha! That was my only sickday... and I like actually enjoyed it, because like a stomach cold is so much easier to handle in your bed, right?

Number two: How about taking a long bikeride to a park about a mile away in 89 degree weather, hanging around there with a friend and biking back to be so hot you jump in the pool with your clothes on? That's pretty nice.

Number three: Picnic time at the park in the summer with certain people that read my blog.

Number four: What isn't fun about playing-god to a bunch of characters that you created? You just sit here at the compy and make their life pretty miserable with like 100 taps of the keys. It really makes a person feel better. You just open all of the shades if it's day time or close all the shades if its nighttime, dim the light until it's almost gone, put on noise-cancelling headphones, play emo music, bring up your word file and commence the writing pwnage.

Number Five: Let's do some math (for the record, math is NOT a happy moment in the history of Ele. Except for maybe this year) f+s*ap+mr=hft. Where f=fritos, s=sandwich, ap=acrylic paint, mr= Maximum ride two audio books and hft= happy fun time!

Sept. 11

Let's all have a moment of silence, people. It's september 11th and we didn't get a moment in silence in school so let's have one now for all of the people that died. As an understatement, that was a sad and horrible day. D-:
