I Can Make A Word Out Of That: Uexi

So now I am in Government with half the class left to me. Therefore, I have decided to write all about my weekend! Enjoy!

I'm beginning with Thursday because I went to the volleyball game. Before it I worked out and went to Maretti's for a veggie deli sandwich, which was so good! Like the mayo didn't even bother me! Then I realized this was the first sports game I went to this year. Which was a bit odd. Volleyball. But I went to see Emmy! It turns out it was toga night...Martin came up with that one. He and his buds showed up very nicely covered in various colors of togas, but other took it to the extreme. Lots of bare chests I rather not have seen. One of the guys who chose that route shouted intelligently "I feel NAKED!" Yes, thank you for sharing. I sat in the front row for the first time. I felt like older or that I should be more excited and into it. But I wasn't that much. I wished Emmy would have played. But it was a really hard game. So it's understandable. I paid a bit more attention to the guys strange conversations around me than the game. One guy had a very witty comment, "If I wanted a kiss, I would have asked your mom!". How intimidating. But Maria did the splits twice when she tried to get the ball. So that was interesting. It reminded me of "A League of Their Own" where Dottie does the splits. But this wasn't a movie. Obviously.

I can't really remember Friday at school. But I wore a really cute tang top under a shrug. I liked that. I got a compliment. Yay! All I can remember is that Choir sucked. And I am in the highest level. And we suck. No one sings. And Meghan does not sit by me anymore! Very sad. But after school I went to Sheboygan for a bit because Carl forgot he needs his car to get home and money and yeah. He and I ate down there. Then we came back to Manitowoc and went with Andrew to George's football game in Mishicot. With an odd group of people. But it was interesting. And George won by like 38 to 8. It was cool. Then we went to Jenn's for a late night coffee run.

Saturday I had planned to go to Drew's game, but then Carl called and invited me to a wedding! And weddings are much cooler than football games, plus I got to wear a pretty dress! I love wearing dresses. I decided on the pink floral one I bought at St. Vinnie's for $3 because Carl said it was a smaller wedding. I also ran to Markham to steal a clutch from the rummage sale to go with the dress.Carl's mom really liked it. So I guess it was a good choice. The wedding was nice, it was my first church wedding. They had a lot of incense. And I actually sort of new the family. It was Carl's friend's dad's. And I had met the friend once. So that was cool. After the wedding was like a little reception thing because it was in the middle of the afternoon. But I could not have any of the main food because everything had meat! Then I could only have some desserts because Carl is allergic to nuts. But the punch was really good Reed and I agreed. Until we found out it had champagne in it. But we only had like three cups. And really, it probably was really light. Like -1%. After that Carl and I decided to head home early since the follow up reception was at the house and there would probably be no dancing and same restrictions of food. So yep.

Then we went to Manitowoc and met up with Michelle, Carly, Sarah, and Jared. We were at Shuttee Park for a bit, but it was too buggy so we went to Carly's. We ate cream cheese won tons and then played scrabble. I did not play because I can't spell. But soon it evolved into dirty scrabble when we tired of regular. And that was quite interesting. Carl was complaining that the had no good letters and then Sarah asked if she could see them and then said "I can make a word out of that, 'uexi'." It was very funny. Then Neal and Schiesl appeared at the window and we all screamed! But it was really funny. We just hung out after that.

Sunday I spent doing a Government project with Joleen. I had never been to her house before and it was very nice. We did a PowerPoint on the Fifth French Republic, which is France's current government. It was pretty easy. Then we rewarded ourselves with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and took a short swim in her pool. We talked about school and life and yeah. Twas nice.

Which bring us to today. I am now at home, not in Government. Just couldn't get this all down in time. Today was a rather boring day. I woke up late, as in a half hour late, which is pretty uncharacteristic of me, but it was no problem. I got suck behind a cop car going to school and I was afraid to pass it. So I just went the speed limit till he turned. I went to school and woke up with Brother Gery and made boxes about what we believe. Then I went to English, where we argued if Jake lived in Shoto or TR and had a fire drill. Next was Spanish, which has gotten horribly boring for some reason. And she yells at us if we don't speak Spanish even if it's to ask what something means. And she picked on me because I did not turn my desk around. I can just write on my notebook without my desk beneath it. Silly Senora. Lunch was spent arguing if we should go to Olive Garden for Homecoming or not. Don't get me wrong, I love Olive Garden with my whole heart and soul. But I think it's stupid because it takes too much time. And with the football game the same day as the dance, we just can't pull it off. Not that I really care about the dance. I just go for the dress and the pictures. Whatever, I'll just do what majority wants. I don't like conflict. And that was a bit awkward, but then Sarah pointed out everything could work out if only we could apparate! But then we realized Sarah was the only one old enough to take the apparation test, so we would have to do a number of carry along apperations. Then Tom brought up we could use a portkey! And we were like yeah that would make it so much easier. But then we would have to have another one at Olive Garden. Michelle then suggested the flu powder and we all agree that was the best plan. Oh how easy our lives would be if we lived in a Harry Potter world.

And that plus Government was my school day. Then I went to my voice lesson, where Mrs. Miller compliment my hair and shirt. Yay! I just threw my hair up in a clip because it had no time to dry today. So I am glad it looks nice. Now I am home, waiting for Carl to call so we can hang out after his play practice and before my dance classes. I think we will go out to dinner or coffee. It will be fun. I hope his play practice ends soon.

Revelation of the entry: Writing down my day really makes me feel accomplished, though I hardy did anything.

Have a good one

Little Bit of School Action

So I'm coming to you from a bit of extra time in Sociology which I suspect will happen often. So we are looking up "social issues". Ive decided on the Education speech which Obama presented yesterday. Which our school, being as conservative as it is, chose not to watch it. Because it was going to political and controversial and socialist! Ooooh scary. It's not like the Catholic Church is one of the largest socialist groups leading the world today. And our excuse was that it "offended some people".
Everything. Offends. Some. People.
And Obama did not even write the speech! It was Teachers for Teachers. Obama is just the messenger. Why must we always oppose the messenger? This is silly. He is the president of the United States. Let's get over ourselves please.
Some schools who watched it also watched the Bush Education speech from 1991 and more recent ones. They said they were similar and sending the same message. Get educated, work towards a goal, apply yourself, learn all you can. Wow. Scary stuff. Clap your hands over the children's ears and call in to complain!

Eons Passed

So as those listening may have known, I have not blogged in "eons". And I have also changed the name and email address. So I'm not sure if anyone knows my blog anymore. But oh well, not to many did in the first place.

So much has transpired. Summer brought many new things. I got a car! R2PO after R2D2 and C3PO. Oooh, numbers look cool on here. Anyway he finally got his license plates. And I was in the summer show, sang Aquarius and Windy as solos. That was fun. You know, actually singing once in a while. And I started tap and jazz! Which was a really good warm up to the fall dance classes. And I did a bit of theater camp at the CCC. That was tons of fun, met new people, played improb games, sung, and danced. All good fun. Oh! And I started working at Maretti's Deli! I have to say that it's a great place to work. Lee's an awesome boss and always gives me off on days I need. Plus a lot of people from my school go to Maretti's and we have the best subs in town. I get pretty good tips in waitressing! And I'm learning about wine and pasta. Very Italian, yes? Also I became a vegetarian. Basically randomly, I just felt like it. And it's very healthy and I didn't eat meat that much. I only miss bacon...

Yeah, that was summer. Unfortunately it has gone and went too soon! I'm back in school. It's the usually so far. My favorite classes are surprisingly Justice, because Brother Gary just talks the whole time, and Intro to Sociology, just the subject, hate the actual teacher and class. I mean Mr. Berkhout is...well just not assertive. And the class is not the more involved bunch. But Sociology is a really cool subject. The text book is written with an actual human voice and is pretty interesting to read.

So let's seen, what's on my mind? Oh hey, the Lady One explanation. Well you see, I'm accepting the philosophy that one must understand the world, their society, and most of all one's self to actually understand a bit of what actually goes on in life. All it takes in one person with one thought and one single goal - to understand. So...I'm not saying this well at all right now. It all plays into thoughts. One must have thoughts to live, they are what make up everything that exists. Without your thoughts, you would not see or hear or intake anything. It just takes one thought to change perspective. Apply that to one person and you have trillions of thoughts passing each day. One never grasp the capability one can posses. It just takes one. And here I am, one. I adopted the title Lady simply because it is a forgotten title. It seems elegant in history, but has now been used in the most informal situations to any woman on the street. Anyway, I like it. You don't have to, one can have one's opinion. It will most likely change over time, as all things do.

So back to reality - I started tap, jazz, and hip hop on Monday! It was so much fun! The girls there are so funny and outgoing, I'm a bit timid to start with. But I will start talking more later on. I even remember the dances! And I can tap now! It's a miracle! Manty Dance is very...open and relaxed. I like it, I think it's fun. We do music from "now", which is my only problem. Some of the "now" music is not represented. Like what I listen to. We just dance to mainstream pop and hip hop. But what you going to do? But the best thing is - we are doing Pretty Fly For a White Guy for tap! We have one guy in it and he is pretty nerdy and awkward and he is playing the while guy! It's hilarious! I love it! Jazz and hip hop are cool too, I'm learning a lot of new moves that should help me later. I also started waitressing alone at Maretti's! I made $22 in tips on a slow night! That's what I like to see! And I didn't mess up at all in the dinning room! I'm so excited! Oh, I am also trying out for the fall play Our Town. It looks like and interesting play. Set in the 1900's in a small town and people get married and in the third act are dead and in a cemetery just hanging out. I want to be the little sister, Rebbecca. She seems like the normal young Innocent girl, but then gets a bit of stage time to talk about the bigger picture of life and how it exceeds us all...and I'm little! I totally fit the part!

Yes, that's life. Hope it all goes well.
