best argument ever

Lindsey and Codi got in a fight yesterday. They were at opposite ends of the kitchen yelling at each other. About what you ask? Who Joe loves more. What a stupid thing to fight about! I personally know that that cat hates everyone. Anyway, here's a snidbit that I found funny:

Codi: Joe loves me more 'cause he purred when I pet him!

Lindsey: Yeah? Well Joe sleeps everynight at the foot of my bed!

Codi: So? I saw a deer yesterday! (yells and does actions to "SO-")

WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!?!? THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER!!!!

that school ordeal

yes, I know that school is normally an ordeal, but today was more so than usual. As most people know, tornadoes love alabama. School officals do not and make you sit in the hall for a loooooooooooong time. The tornadoe sirens are located on the school flag pole (for the county). Imagine how loud it would be (it was made to be heard all over during a tornado!)... We stayed out in the hall until 2:40 (went out at 2). They announced marching band was cancelled. To quote Ashley, "YEEEESSS! FOR ME!" Then they annouced the storm had passed and another was on the way, so school would be let out early. Another YES! FOR ME! They let us out a whole 10 min early... wow. I got on my bus, very happy without band and the promise of returning to my comfy bed early, only to have my dream squashed by that darn siren again. I was sad... *tear. They made us get out of our buses and in certain clique words "Run for cover!".... We had to wait inside... again... for a long time. All in all, I got home 28 mins later than I normally do... but that means it was actually a 38 min hide-in-building as we were left out 10 min early. Now I'm home. YAY! That darn siren keeps going off... I hope a real tornado doesn't come that would scare the pants off of me.... well, shorts actaully as I changed out of my jeans... TTYL!

First game...

Hey guys! Last night was our first football game, meaning that it was my first time marching. We left school after third block, but still had barely enough time for dinner (traffic was horrible! as for dinner, I had chik-fil-a). We arrived and warmed-up. I sat next to Meagan in the stands... I was on the end and had no one else, but meagan is cool. I like her angry face; it makes me smile. A cheerleader gave me a pom-pom; i felt special. You know what doesn't make sense? The cheerleaders cheet to the band! Why not to the people in the stands, eh? The band is all ready perky and cheering. Sometimes we even start cheers and they follow us! Anyways, we did our show. It was crappy. I dunno what happened. Next group went, they had fire-batons and everyone was like, "we're not good enough for that...". Not true. They really put our majorettes down. but I know for a fact that one of them can twirl fire-baton. Back to the game! We lost. 27-34. It was 21-6 at the half (us winning) and then 27-28 (them ahead) with one minute left... then they scored another touchdown. In the words of meagan, "sad day..." Bus ride home was fun. We got back at 12:30. They played Shark-tale on the bus; Brad pointed out alot of good life lessons in it. I found it better than I did the first time I saw it. Well, i got to go to codi's soccer game now. TTYL!

First week pass slow... young grasshopper

Wednesday:

• i made it to school on wed. my bus came! (does a victory lap on getting to school on time)
• I rode the bus home for first time
• no band practice! WOOT!
• I went to bible study, was not late for this either! (today was good on time-ness)

Thursday:

• band was going to get out at 4:30 so we could go home, eat, and then report to the stadium at 5:40 for band-o-rama. It was cancelled. Why? Well, it's rained every day for the past two weeks (not making this up), and when Dr.Logan (band director) went to set up the field, his truck sank into the mud. He said no one would be able to get in or out of that parking lot... and it was a big thing of mud. (He had to get his truck pulled out!)

Friday:

• Today! I could sing. It's the weekend. I'm swamped with hw. I've finished most of the actual work. Now I have to read and take notes for Euro, memorize the political boundaries and all landforms (lakes, rivers, mounts, valleys, etc) of Europe for Euro, and I have to learn all clothes, colors, and a poem for French. All of which have a test on Monday. Also, Codi has a soccer tournament this weekend (might not seem relevant, but hold on!), and we are all going to stay in a hotel there. When am I supposed to study? AHHH!
  

School days...

First day of school... I was late
Second day of school... I was late
let's hope I can make it tomorrow.

Why was I late?
(there is a reason!)

My bus never came. It just decided to skip my bus stop. Stupid bus. So my daddy decided to take me. We got stuck behind a train. Then, when I finally got there, I had no idea where to go. So I opened a door and sprinted across the hall and at the end, was a guy. A tall guy in an army uniform. crap! He turned and said "Where are you supposed it be?!?!" Imtimidating, huh? I looked and cried (in a sad, confused voice) "I don't know!" He said, "Give me your schedule!" Then, in a totally diferent and nice voice, "Now what you do is go thru these doors, take a right, go 4 doors down and it'll be on your left." Nice dude, eh? I shouldn't judge people right away. We got homework. So far, both days, every class. Talk about hitting the ground running.
Here's a metaphor:

• An adult is at the gym, he gets on a treadmill, and increases his pace as he goes. That was school.
• There's a kid here also. He goes to the treadmill straddls it (so he's not on the moving part), makes it go as fast as he can, jumps on, and flies off to smash into a wall. That is school now.
  

I do like "the hill". It's a hill where you can eat lunch outside. Yay! Freedom. I feel much more free now. It's neat.

School tomorrow.. ugg

School starts tomorrow... ugg. what can i say positive on that subject?

I went to cyo tonight. we had guthrie's for dinner and watched clips from Toy Story and had to think of who was most like us. I picked the little machine with a mic. Why? 'cause by himself he's quite but with someone else he's loud and crazy. Good pick, eh?

Free at last! Then bound again...

Free at last!
Free at last!
Thank God Almighty
I'm free at last!

I know, it's a little out of context, but it still applies.
Why?
2 reasons.
#1: I finished euro notes today
and #2: Summer band camp is over!
DONE!
I could sing... but I won't
(I happen to be a very poor singer)
I would dance, but my knees hurt when I walk, so I'll refrain.
Pity....


Now it's over, done, but I'll only be free for 3 days.
Monday
ugg
school starts
I had "meet your teacher night" tonight
I know where my classes are
'cept band
didn't have time for it.
how will i ever find it?
Oh well...
I'll manage.

CYO-ing

Wow. I had so much fun tonight... where to begin? Let's start with dinner. We went to Burg King, which, by the way, has the best fries ever. I tried their chicken fries. They weren't good... at all. Then i had to go to Codi' s soccer game. LAME! Oh well. It rained there... and I didn't feel like opening my umbrella so I just danced in the rain! Then I went to CYO. It was prayer and share, then bible study, then open CYO. I didn't care much for prayer and share, but bible study was so much fun. The guy who runs it will also be my euro teacher. He seems really cool. Then we all decided to walk to Cold Stone. YUM! I had coffee ice-cream with sprinkles. Wait! I forgot to mention that our new priest walked in to the CYO room and he was like, "What's going on?" We said we were going to get ice-cream, and he came too! I think I'm gonna like this new priest. He seems ok (at least he's not Irish...ugg). I'm going to retire now (as in go to bed). I have one more day of band camp to go... JUST ONE! I'm happy...
TTYL!
