I've just learned that if you give out too many hugs you get all grumpy and stuff. I don't enjoy being grumpy so I can't just go hugging people willy nilly.

NO Manners on the Field

Since I have the pleasure of not having to deal with the same things that I did last year, I won't be talking about the same things much this year. This will probably be the first post that has nothing to do with teachers! *clap, clap, clap* Yay! But sadly, there is something that I must complain about. Due to my recent writer's block this may not be as funny as the last few but hey, I'm trying. For the sake of privacy I'll just call my subject "Jamie".

Jamie doesn't have respect for other people's belongings. She decides that if she's interested in something then she'll go on ahead and touch it without the other person's permission. This bothers me because Jamie likes to touch my belongings when I sit next to her in Algebra 2. It's not that my things are extremely valuable, it's just that I would like for her to ask FIRST.

It's funny, I was going to post this on Friday, but I waited too long to write it out and lost the emotion. Now that she's gone and done it again (even after the nasty look that I gave her the first time) she has successfully refueled the fire.

On Monday there was an activity that we were doing at the beginning of class. It was imperative that everyone had a graphing calculator for the activity, and if your neighbor didn't have theirs with them then you were asked to share.

I had mine, but my neighbor, Jamie, did not.

No biggie... I was in some-what of a good mood, so I shared. The activity went well, we got it done. After that we were given an assignment out of the book. It wasn't group work so I took my calculator back and kept it next to me so I could use it while I did my work.

There was one particularly hard problem so I moved to grab my calculator to use it, but when I did it wasn't where I had left it. I found it laying on Jamie's desk and she was using it to solve a problem of her own.

After she finished and placed it back on my desk she noticed that I was (purposely) giving her a nasty look and she smiled and thanked me for letting her borrow my calculator. STRIKE ONE.

The second offense. I've had a serious case of writer's block for quite a while and so I've taken up drawing as a form of expression. Well...maybe it's not exactly drawing. All I do is take a part of the lyrics to a song and write it down and decorate it. I guess you would cal it creative writing because I use a lot of my markers and pens to make it look pretty. I do that a lot in Algebra II during class because it helps me focus. One day, Jamie decided that she wanted to doodle on her hand with one of my markers. She grabs one, writes on her hand, and then puts it back in the wrong place. Since I'm OCD and I keep each marker in order by color in their little slots , when she moved it out of place she made my brain spaz out. I glared at her again and put the marker (rather loudly) back into place. This time instead of thanking me she just said "oh."

OH?! OH?!She put my things out of order and all she has to say for herself is OH??? When she did that she really angered me but I held it in...it was quiet in the classroom so I couldn't go off on her without being noticed, and even if I could I wouldn't have. I'm too nice for that. But anyway. STRIKE TWO.

The last offense bothered me the most. One of my favorite things about my binders this year is that all of them are black. I did this because I wanted a reason to ask my mom to buy me a silver Sharpie so that I could write on them. Armed with my silver Sharpie I doodle on my binders whenever I get bored and don't know what else to do. It was the end of class one day and since I already finished my assignment for homework I decided to doodle on my binder. I put down my marker for one second and next thing I know Jamie is doodling on my binder! She wrote a message on it and signed her name on it so that I knew it was her. I didn't say anything about it because I didn't want to explode. I was so angry that I couldn't do anything but read for the rest of the class period. STRIKE THREE! Shouldn't she be out?

I know that I'm not the only one in the world who has do deal with mannerless people and I think it's sad that so many people didn't listen to their mothers when they were younger.

Learn your manners! Don't touch other's posessions without permission!

Marvelous is An Understatement



After seeing 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' at 12:45 at opening (which I was extremely lucky to get tickets for) at first the only words I could think of to describe the whole movie was “amazing” and “marvelous” but then I realized that those words were understatements. So instead of trying to describe the whole 2 hour movie in one word I'll do it in roughly 514.

'Eclipse' was one movie that most of my friends had been anticipating since 'New Moon' had come out in the theater (it was all of us except for two “masculine men” that supposedly hate the whole saga). Being the Twitard I am I had to re-read Eclipse before going to see the movie so that I was able to pinpoint what was kept in the movie, what wasn't, and what was added to it. I went into the movie theater with expectations that had been exceeded as soon as Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) had appeared on screen. I don't know exactly what changes were made in his appearance but whatever they did to him made a huge (and I mean HUGE) difference. I went from thinking that he was the wrong actor to play the adorable romantic vampire to thinking that he was absolutely perfect for the part. Robert Pattinson played the part of Edward exactly as it was meant to be and he looked amazing while doing it.

There was no doubting the fact that Taylor Lautner was meant to play the part of Jacob Black. The love-struck, (VERY) muscular, vampire-hating werewolf was portrayed flawlessly in this movie and Taylor Lautner made playing th part look “as easy as breathing”. The rivalry between Jacob and Edward was most definitely there (it had to be that's a whole theme of the book!) and strong. The loyalty that Jacob had to Bella (Kristen Stewart) was also there and so was their obvious chemistry. Kristen Stewart also did an impeccable job at being Bella. Her adoration and attachment to Edward and love for Jacob was apparent and didn't have the love triangle confusion.

Overall every character was played with ease and they were just like their characters in the book. There was plenty of romance, hot love scenes, and heartfelt moments to keep the secret hopeless romantic side of me satisfied and tucked deep down inside. There was plenty of humor to keep us all doubled over in laughter...but the most exciting parts were the action scenes. When it came to the action, Jasper Cullen (Jackson Rathbone) and Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz) kept it all alive (but everyone else still kicked some bootie) , but Edward and Seth Clearwater (Tyler Posey) had their own little fight scene with Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) and her faithful sidekick Riley (Xavier Samuel) which was amazing and kept us all at the edge of our seats.

In general the whole movie was as great in comparison as the book it was based off of and for anyone who has yet to see it (I hope I haven't given away too much) GO WATCH IT! I give this movie a 2 thumbs up and I'm sure anyone else who is in their right minds would.

Why I Think We're Being Cheated

So, it's June and as pretty much everyone knows we're on summer vacation. Sadly...it's almost over. We only have about 6 more weeks until we go back to school! WHERE DID THE TIME GO??? I didn't even get to try and go bungee jumping yet! I didn't get the chance to do anything stupid or dangerous like most of us teenagers like to do. I mean no I wouldn't actually go bungee jumping or do anything stupid or dangerous but they didn't even give me the CHANCE! This is the time when parents start to go school supply shopping when the don't know what you need yet. They pick up things they know you'll need like pencils and pens, erasers and white out, a huge binder that you'll never be able to fit in your book bag much less your locker (which my school does not have...we have cubbies -.-). My mom did that last year. She made me, the smallest girl in high school, attempt to carry around the biggest binder in the universe for the sake of organization. Fat amount of good that did. I eventually ended up just leaving it in my homeroom class and carrying around different small binders which worked out better. I think that we're being cheated of our vacation time. We should definitely have more of it.
