ANNA GOT A LIVE JOURNAL! *_* You can view it here. I don't want to leave my blog forever, so I might update occasionaly. Who knows... Anyway.. go to my LJ!

Ooohh... Blogger is all new looking. Not that you can see.. but take my word for it :)

I'm finished with school except for exams!! Woo-hoo!

I am happy to announce that Elijah's hair is successfully growing back. You can see him in all his glory here.

Last Sunday was Seva's birthday party at Six Flags and it was so much fun! I completely overcame my fear of rollercoasters. Yay! Hahaha at one point Katie and I were on the "Mind Eraser" and we sang the national anthem through the whole thing and it was fun :D. "And the rockets red glaaaareee!!" Ahahah.... good times. I ate too much homemade icecream which was reeeeallly good (one scoop chocolate brownie and one scoop peanutbutter) but made me sick to my stomach, so I didn't go on the swings :( or the little twirly thing.. but I was good by the time it was time to go home. Sorry for the run-on ><. Anyway.. that was so much fun, thanks for inviting me Seva!

Today was graduation and the orchestra went to play. It was lots of fun, I sat with Mary, Meg, Sarah, and Jordan and we had a grand old time. Jordan lived in England for 4 years and he had an accent and he's so cool!! I always feel so conceited when I'm talking about England. Like I think I'm better than everyone else just because I've been there. I don't know. Whenever there's someone who's from there or lived there or has been there, I always HAVE to have them know I've been because I love talking about it so much. So I feel stuck up because.... I don't know... It's annoying though because I love to talk about England because I love it so much, but I feel conceited when I do. Anyway... I want to go there now *_* So.. back to graduation. It was lots of fun.. except for the playing Pomp and Circumstance for 20 minutes while the graduates walked accross the stage. Jason and Rama both had really good speeches. Very inspirational and thought provoking.

Your MONKEY DAEMON represents a nature that is
admired, detail-oriented, and full of
curiosity. Some people might call you self-
absorbed. You like to plan ahead, and hone your
various talents to perfection.


What Animal Would Your Daemon Settle As?

I want a Daemon soooo much! If you've never read "The Golden Compass" and its trilogy, you are missing out. They are so good!
Those questions were hard.... I hate choosing *_*

Katie finally got Emily and me to see "The Ring". They and Rebecca came over and we ordered pizza and watched it (the movie, not the pizza). Te people at the pizza place talk too fast. The first time I called I thought I had the wrong number because I heard "Hi, Holly's Ski Hole". The second time I called I realized they just talked to fast and the lady had actually said "Pizza Boli's, how may I help you?". Anyway, "The Ring" was OK. It wasn't that scary considering I didn't look at any of the rotting faces. (Thanks Katie, I trust you now :D) Break: I'm listening to "London" by 3EB and I really want to go... I went to bed at about 11 and I was fine, but then I woke up at 12 for some reason and didn't get back to sleep for a while. My nerves were on edge from the movie, I was hot, and I was soooo tired. I had been tired all day. I timed my heart rate (because it felt fast) and it was 72/min. When I woke up this morning it was 59/min. I think it was a combination of my nerves and the heat. It was really annoying, but I finally fell asleep listening to country music, which is really calming.

All that's between me and summer is these two poems (well, and exams) and it's so stupid... I should be able to do this, but I can't even sit down and try, I'm too scared of failure. I realized I really need to study for the Algebra exam. And the Spanish one. And Biology. And NSL. Yes, that's right, the sophmores have to take the county AP NSL exam, even though we took the AP exam in May. Ms. Muehl doesn't even teach AP NSL, she teaches AP Government and Politics. Although they might sound the same.. they aren't. Oh, speaking of AP Gov, we're having a bagel breakfast party Monday. I can't wait.. they're from Panera! Mmm....

OK, I WILL write my poems today. They WILL be good poems. They WILL they WILL they WILL......

Mood: Strange....frusterated, in a calm, indiferent way....
Music: Simple Plan- "You Don't Mean Anything"

GAAaaahhhhrrrrroaisdfjakds.... I have to write two free poems for tuesday and I want them to be good, but I can't think of any ideas. All my ideas are corny or just not ideas. I could write two corny poems, but I don't want to, I want them to be good.... I also want to go to bed and read my book, which will leave me poemless on Sunday night, and writing two stupid, cliche poems on Monday. Bleah.

I went running with Halley today and I'm really tired; not mentally, but physically. It was a good run, we did the Clemente run backwards (not like anyone would know what that is... but it goes past Clemente) which was really hilly and tiring. It was hard, but I feel accomplished. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do cross country next year. It really appeals to me. It's very balanced between the team and the individial, plus I really want to see what I can do in distance.

I think I'm just going to go to bed. I feel like... I don't know... I'm so frusterated about these poems. I don't want to feel like I need guidelines, I want to be able to write on cue, whatever comes to mind, and write it well, but I can't. We're so trained to write by prompt, we always have some kind of guidelines. Now we don't and I'm lost. >< Bah...

Mood: Frusterated
