FRAZZLED

It's been a week!!! A week since I've blogged. (I'm sure the blog world is depressed). 

I've just been so frazzled lately. Its seems like I've kinda been out of it.  Things to do, places to go, people to see, lines to memorize. In Theater Production were doing a play called Wind of A Thousand Tales. 

It's about a little girl who doesn't believe in fairy tales. She goes to a place called Nowhere, there three breezes tell her three different tales, to try to change her mind about stories. The different stories are the different scenes. Im the main character in the last scene. I'm Janos, the peasant. And I have Scalp Disease. I try to become king of Austro-slash-Hungaro-slash-Italo-hyphen-Beederburg. But first, I have to make the princess laugh, and she NEVER laughs. And if I fail, she'll have my head. 

HOOORAHHH!!!

WE WON DISTRICT!! Hooorahh!! 

We didn't get a trophy...but, we got a banner that goes up in the gym. 

We had our last game yesterday against Dulles. All 4 girls won including my partner and I, (8,4). We played like two big losers!! It was ridiculous. 

It would have been 8, 3 if the other team didn't cheat. So it was deuce, and the girl hits me a drop shot. I run up to the net and hit an awesome shot angled in the alley while tripping over my other foot and falling. I was on the ground, looking at the ball sideways and I could still see it go in.  So they didn't get the ball and it was in. We won the game. Those two girls stared at us like we were from outer space. 

GIRL - That was out.

ME - Are you kidding??

DARBY (my partner) - Are you sure?

GIRL2 - Well, from my point of view it was out ...but, it was a good shot.

ME - Okkkk..so was it in or out??

GIRL - Out.

GIRL2 - But, we can replay it. 

You don't replay a point unless you know in your head, it was in. Cheaters.

But, in any case, we still won the match, and districts soo HOORAH cheaters!!

So you thought we've already been through this.

It's not over. OK, sorry to echo Seth's words but I saw this on itunes.

 If you haven't (but I'm sure you have) already read this, read it.

I wish I could cut and paste of Itunes but I can't, so look up Shout to the Lord (Idol gives back performance) Look for the comments on the video. 

5 out of 8 people complained about the changing of words from Jesus to shepherd. 

Honestly, that made me mad at first. But then I remembered that A.I. is the #1 watched show on Tv and they were singing Shout To The Lord. That blew me away. 

 

illusions

Majorsteve put up a post about this illusion a couple weeks ago. I remember commenting - Are those circles supposed to be moving??

My science teacher showed this to us today. If you look at the whole picture the circles move. If you focus on one circle, the whole picture is still. Cool, huh?

This one scares the heck diddly ding dong crap out of me... check it out...     

   

Stare at the 4 dots in the middle 4 about 30 seconds. Then close your eyes and tilt your head up. You probably wont freak out like me. 

Then, tell me what you see. 

Grinding

One of my best friend's Bat Mitzvah  was this weekend. The Party was SOOO fun!!

When some people think of grinding they think of skateboards. Some people think of cheese.....well, I do. But some people think of grinding such as, the bump & grind. 

A lot of my friends grind with guys and, its just not my thing (your welcome Mom). 

So there's this song called 2 step, and there's a dance to go with the song. Well, you have to be a very coordinated dancer to do it [NOT ME.] So GIRL1 and I were dancing and saying, "This is how we 2 step!" We were kinda doing the twist, if you will. So, GUY1 comes up behind me and says "I don't want any of that." Im guessing he thought I was trying to grind with him (I'd rather chew on glass). But, I had no idea he was behind me, or that anybody was. 

I was really mad so I went to the bathroom and sent him a text saying 

Me - Listen - I had no idea you were behind me and, I wasn't trying any of that. 

GUY1  - Sorry, I was just kidding. 

Me - Im so sick of your crap. 

GUY1 - What crap?

Me - Your not even worth explaining it. 

So, my mom's going to murder me for texting him but, I think SCL will like what I said. Muahahahahahha.....

No grinding 4 u!!

Super Man Sorry

Super Man really has nothing to do with this post, I just needed an alliteration. Its an alliteration right?    

Anywho, sorry I haven't posted lately.  I'm blog  constipated. Nice image huh?

Little Girl

Today I was helping with the 2nd & 3rd grade GA class. 

A little girl prayed and said, "Dear God - please help my parents stay together. Amen"

And thats all I have to say about that. 

The shunners

I was shunned today. Do you know why? Because I felt differently about a subject matter. 

Guy 1 - I want to be a lawyer so I can sue people for ridiculous reasons. Like, one time, this guy sued McDonald's because they didn't put the protective sleeve on his coffee. Then, he burnt himself.

Guy 2 - Well, thats McDonald's fault. 

Girl 1 - Yeah. 

Me - Actually, I think that It was both of their faults. McDonald's fault for forgetting the protective sleeve, and the guys fault for touching the coffee when it's hot. I mean, when you order coffee don't you expect it to be hot?

Guy 1 - Well, what if it was ice coffee. 

Me - If it was ice coffee, he would have known what he ordered. You can't burn yourself on ice coffee. 

Guy 2 - No! You're wrong. Its McDonald's fault they didn't put the sleeve on. 

Me  - But, Its common sense. Coffee is hot, you're an idiot if you just grab it. 

Guy 1 - No, you're the idiot. 

 And so, after some whispering, I was shunned. Yes, shunned. 

 

 Me - I don't care If you talk to me. So shun me, honestly, I don't mind. 

  All the 7th graders said it was McDonald's fault. All the adults agreed with me  that it was comparative negligence. 

           

     I was shunned, but as long as I know I'm right, I don't care. 

       So, agree to disagree. But, I don't even think we could agree on that. 

Kvetching

I kvetch sometimes. OK, I kvetch ALL the time but this really makes me mad!

So, I was eating with Tan, Kady, Jack and some other people when I see my good friends mom, lil' sis and lil' sis' bff (who I am not a fan of at all. Not even a little bit.)

BTW - this girl is probably 8 or 9. 

She who shall not be named - Sweetie! You look so old! 

Meredith's brain cells - * censored *

Meredith - Oh, thanks. 

Little devil child - Oh! You're finally wearing make up. Thank God! 

Meredith's thoughts - * censored * (you don't want to know)

Meredith - Oh, thanks. 

Spawn of Satan - So, hows the 7th grade?? Darling, who are you hanging out with?

Meredith's mind -  * censored *

Meredith - Oh, good. Oh, I have to go,  bye! Talk to y'all later. 

Child of the corn - Goodbye hunny! See you soon!

I tell Tan all this on the way home. 

Tan - Oh no she didn't! 

Questions that make me look stupid.

Do these words have anything in common or am I an idiot?

 breakfast and fasting

 Holocaust and Pentecost 

 

Please let me know if Im just being stupid. 

The infamous, fist pump.

I have officially committed a tennis crime. I'm sorry.

   So, I was playing a match today and I was down 4 - 0. She was about to win. 

   

   But then, I started playing really well, and she got really frustrated with herself. So she was throwing her racket and I was fist pumping.  A dangerous habit.

  I HATE it when players fist pump, especially when their opponent misses a shot. 

 But, I can't seem to help myself!!

For those of you who are unaware of the fist pump, here are some pictures. 

  

     

                See what I mean?

Just in case your wondering, I came back and beat the girl 

7 - 6. 

 

A cruel April

  Yesterday, one of my best friends told me she was moving to New York. She was so sad, she even started crying. A couple of months ago her dad worked at some company. Then something happened and then half their employes lost work. In October her dad said they might be moving to New York so he can start his own company. So, the whole New York thing has been dangling over our heads. That made me believe her story even more. 

She was so convincing, at lunch she even said how they had a family meeting and her brother ran upstairs and slammed the door. Like I said before, she even started crying. Then,  I did. 

The whole day I was upset. Then after 8th period I went up to her and said 

Me - Theater Production auditions are next week. 

Maggie - But I'm not going to be here next year. 

Me - Still, try out, just in case. 

Maggie and whole group of my friends - APRIL FOOLS!!

Me - WHAT?!!

Then, I kicked Maggie right in the tailbone. 

So, what do you think?? April Fools Joke or Cruel Prank??

I am a beast.

I am a Beast.

Yesterday in P.E. we did crunches for our presidential fitness test. Where you lie down an put your hands next to a piece of tape. Whenever you do a crunch, you slide your hands over the tape and over the edge of the mat. 

For my age, the average is somewhere between 18 and 32 crunches. My coach said we should stop at 75. Well, being a Beast, I did 75 crunches. 

Mt coach said she hasn't seen anyone do that many all day. Therefore, I am a beast. 

 

And my abs and neck REALLY hurt. But I'm a Beast, so I don't mind.
