Merry Christmas Eve!

Hey guys! I havent written alot this week cause nothing has happened. Ive been pretty bored out of my mind. My parents have gone to visit relatives 3 days this week, leaving me at home to entertain myself. All ive done is read and work out. Not too thrilling. We did go see Christmas with the kranks yesterday though. That was fun. It was a cute movie. Im waiting on Santa to come tonight! YAY! Haha. I think were gonna drive around and look at lights tonight. 24 hours of a Christmas Story starts tonight at 8! YEAH!

It snowed yesterday! YEAH! Well it snowed mostly while we were at the gym and when we got home, it had covered some of the ground! I couldnt believe it! I think we got more cause we live farther north in the state. It was sitting in a little pile on my dad's truck and u could see it all building up on the ground. I was so excited! If it had snowed more it definately would have stayed. Its so cold outside! 16 degrees!

Well thats great, i was all excited about my entry and then i found out i made a 51 on my precal exam. Great. And i thought i actually did good on it. Haha.

Well anyway i made a 94 on my art exam. Still not sure about AP English. Well let's see today was a day of gifts. I got so much stuff lol. Meenal got me a pair of gloves and scarf set and a wallet with a poodle on it. It was so cute. Honestly i have so many wallets i dont know what to do with now. I bought a new one for myself cause i had been using the same one for so long. So then i got this one, I bought an Alice and Wonderland yesterday and then Mackenzie walked over to my car today and said she found this in nashville and thought i'd like it and it was a wallet that said I heart Elvis on it! I freaked out! I loved it! I felt bad though b/c we were doing gifts, but i guess this pays me back for when i got her that lucy calendar when her grandfather died last year. But anyway Jillian gave me a LOTR 500 piece puzzle! YEAH! Umm..Lindley got me a bar of B&B coconut lime soap and a notepad thats real cute. I think thats about it.

From looking at my stuff, gov. is gonna be death tomorrow. Physics too. I started studying for gov. yesterday though so it wouldnt be such a shock. I'll be so happy when exams are over. I dont remember having to study this much. I studied for 2 hours straight today for gov. So many terms. But i have to remember these will be my last exams except for precal. I know i'll have to take that again unless a miracle happens.

Megan's party is tomorrow. Were gonna freeze to death.

Well I took my AP English and contemporary issues exams today. I just found out I made a 86 on Cont Issues and a 97 on Bible. I am so not happy about Cont Issues. I knew every country and capital of every country we studied and she put crap on there she swears she told us. Telling us and putting it on a test are 2 different things. I didnt know so many of the questions. Labeling the world was easier than the questions. So now i wont have an A for the semester. Great. I think i did good on my English exam though. It was suppose to be 500 words but mine ended up being 862! HAHA! I had quotes as my examples for every point. I was happy with the question too. I also did most of the outlines this weekend and typed them Monday and it took me 4 hours to do 2 last night. I even had the ideas written down, but i had to go back and find quotes and examples to use. I worked from 3:30 to 7:30 and then i had to learn about every country in the world again! Its alright though. Thats the only AP exam i'll ever have to do. I dont know how I ever did APUSH and acc. english outlines last year. Oh yeah and they were due on the same day. Yay me.

I did get and give gifts today! I took my huge bag full of goodies. I took Jillian her Puss and Boots doll, Jem cds and Dale Earnheardt Jr. notpad i found. I gave Kimi some of the Dulce lotions from Bath and Body that smell like food and cake. I gave Ashley her bulldog wallet she wanted. She didnt see it at the cart and said i could the pug instead and when I was paying i saw the bulldog and i was like I want that one! And i got Meenal a hat, gloves, and scarf set, a bracelet and some cow slippers. Im taking Lindley's tomorrow and i got her a pink hat, scarf and glove set too. Ashley got me an Elvis umbrella!!!! YEAH! I was so excited! its black and blue with pics of him on it. Its so awesome. And Kimi gave me a 365 day calendar of Ireland! Jillian and Lindley and Meenal are bringing theres tomorrow. All i know is Jillian got me something LOTR. That rocks.

Hmm...Oh yeah i went to the mall with Ashley and we ate at CA pizza kitchen with Meenal and Jillian and her mom. Well the food was good, the sugar free peach tea was amazing, but our waiter sucked. We sat for like 30 minutes waiting for our food and then Jillian and her mom didn't get there until we were almost done, but they got there food like 10 minutes later. Let's just say we left him a 2$ tip between the 5 of us, haha. The meal was expensive enough as it is. It was like 10 or 11$ for my chicken caesar salad. The one w/o chicken was like 8$, and i should have gotten that b/c mine only had 1 piece of chicken cut up into crap size bites. And then me and Ashley went to Claires and the Icing and at the Icing they had Alice in Wonderland purses and wallets!!! AHH!!!! They have 2 alice purses at Walmart and one has her and the mad hatter and the rabbit at the tea party and the other is her with the queen of hearts in the maze. Those are only 12$. The ones at the Icing were of her and the garden flowers and Alice was all glittery and so were the flowers, but those were 18$. And the dinky wallet that matched was 12$! So i withheld myself and im gonna wait till after xmas and go back and see if its on sale, cause im sure it will be and if not, i'll buy it anyway lol. But we did go to Claires and they had disney stuff 1/2 off and they had a Cheshur cat wallet for 5$! So i bought that. I cant wait for Disney! Im gonna find everything Alice and Wonderland. I wanna buy the book too, i know it was a book before a movie. Mrs Hood also said Alice walks around with the Mad hatter at Disney World! WOO!

WOO! Awesome Disney news! There taking the 2 buses at the same time now! WOO! I know the sports players are happy. Its good cause i dont have to fight for the first bus now lol. I still think were leaving during school, i just dont know what time.

STATE TOMORROW!!!!! YEAH!!!!! Meenal and Ashley are riding with me. It should be fun. We get to wear tennis shoes, jeans and a bbs tshirt tomorrow to school. The football players will walk from the pre k to the gate too. Its so fun. They all look so nice in their suits and all. I cant wait!

Well im pretty sure today officially sucked ass. I had an awful day.

Well it rained it all day which made me have an awful headache. I think this has been the slowest day of my life. Every class went by so slow. Bible dragged on forever and he made us get out our Bibles and look at the verses we already read yesterday. He wanted to make sure we could SEE them. It was all about baptism and salvation which is eventually just gonna make everyone mad cause no one believes the same thing. I dont know why he teaches the same thing every year. He somehow manages to bring something like this and denominations into play. And honestly i love coach brown to death, i just dont like when he says his views ALL the time which are obviously all church of christ which isnt fair to the rest of us. When we talk about baptism tomorrow and our views, im gonna throw him a curve ball and say i dont think u need to be baptized to go to heaven.

Then the hell of english came and i thought i was going to strangle someone. Mrs Roland gets more irritating daily. I hate her little voices she uses and facial expressions and little words she loves to use. GOLL I CANNOT EXPLAIN TO U THE HATRED I HAVE TOWARDS THAT CLASS. And whats worse is even if i was going to drop it at semester, i still have to have her. And i wont drop it cause theres no point in my suffering for half a year and not at least trying the AP exam, which i will fail anyway. Plus if i drop it, its gonna look like i cant handle the "load" when the reality is that i read and do everything else before anyone and thats a fact. No one even starts or finishes the readings until a week before its due. Besides im not gonna give the people in the class that satisfaction of knowing they were "better" than me in some ways.

Well then Brittany wasnt here today,so i sat by myself in art again. We also had a fire drill so i got to stand in the cold looking stupid with all the middle schoolers around. All the girls in my class were talking with each other and i just kinda looked around.

Well it rained off and on at lunch. And when everyone was inside getting food, it started raining pretty hard so i grabbed everyone's purse and went inside looking for a table. I looked like i had been Christmas shopping i had so many purses lol. But then it stopped so we went back out.

Well then i found out that the teacher that does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING decides to give us a project thats a test grade thats due the same day as my gov. project. Thats great. Something else to do. Oh yeah and mrs hood gave us a current event, which i want to burn. I cant wait to get out of h/s just so i wont have to do those anymore. I just did one yesterday for contemporary issues! AAHHH! DIE!

Yeah well let me ask a question? When u see someone with their eyes closed/trying to sleep, u would decide to leave them alone wouldnt u? Well not Megan Gass. Im trying to rest in pre cal b/c my head hurt pretty bad and shes looking for a mirror for whatever reason. I hear her ask Megan, then she asks Lindley. So im trying to sleep and i hear, "cortney". Im thinking, wtf do u want? So i ignore her since im "sleeping", hoping she'd get the hint. Well no. Why would i think that she would understand to leave someone alone? A few minutes later i hear, Cortney (pause), Cortney (pause), Cortney (pause). CANT U SEE IM SLEEPING AND DONT WANNA TALK TO U!?!?!?! Oh im so glad shes not in my room for Disney, im glad she doesnt ride rides, im glad she cant drive her car for a while cause she cant sit in my car every morning and im especially glad im a senior so i wont have to see her EVER AGAIN AFTER MAY! PRAISE GOD!!!! THATS SUCH A BLESSING!!!!!!!

Oh yeah and heres the icing on the cake. So since my dad works at TVA, they have some scholarship for seniors to apply for. U have to write an essay at a certain place and have recommendations and good grades whatever. So i walk into english today and see Valerie with one of the scholarship packets. "hey are u taking that?" "yeah" "oh does your dad work at tva?" yeah" Well thats just dandy since she has a 4.0 and made a 30 on her act the FIRST TIME. WHY DO I EVEN TRY??????? WHY!?!?!?!?! Everyone that takes these things are brilliant! Theres not one stupid bone in their body! How can anyone normal compete with that level of smartness? I know i cant! I dont see how that can be fair. Those type of people get to go to any college and get just about any kind of scholarship they want. Why cant the common student with decent grades win something to help out their family?

STATE!

WERE GOING TO STATE BABY! YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i dont feel like typing a real long entry so i'll do some highlights.

We froze our butts off last night.

We won 38 to 13.

With 6 seconds left before half time, Drew, Matt P, Weston and someone else pulled a hook and ladder play. They tossed the ball to each other in like perfect sync and scored! BAHAHAHA! You should have seen Coalfield's faces.

Were playing DCA again, who are also blue and gold.

We scored our first touchdown of the night by an interception 1:30 min into the game.

WERE GOING TO STATE! YEAH!!!!!!!! MURFEESBORO HERE I COME!

Christmas is coming....

Well i have had a jampacked day i must say. So i got up around 8:30 cause i went over to Ashley's last night and watched shrek 2 and some of Elf and got home a little after 12. But for some reason i couldnt fall asleep until after 1:30. OH I FORGOT TO TELL U THAT WE WON THE FOOTBALL GAME! AHH!!! So i was all pumped and had it on the radio and was listening to it. So FCA scores first, 7 to 0. We get the ball, 7 to 7. Then 14 to 7 them, then 14 to 14 and then 14 to 20 us at half time. So after that it was all us. I was at Ashleys and meenal called me when i was sitting in my car and we had just scored again. So the final score was 21 to 49!! WOO WOO! It was 20 to 49 last year, that was kinda weird. But this game should be at home or at finley this week. We play colefield i think thats how u pronounce it. But apparently, there not very strong. WERE GOING TO STATE BABY! We'll wind up playing DCA again though. There gonna be out for blood since we beat them last year. Oh well. Go Bucs!

So back to my day.

So me and dad get ready and go to do some Christmas shopping since my mom isnt here. We go and i buy Jillians present which she is going to love. And then we go to the mall and spend most of the time over by Penneys. We go and head to Bath and Body first, but they didnt have the stuff i was gonna get Ashley, so we decided to go the one upstairs later. But then i come out and my dad is buying something for me at the calendar place. He made me go away lol. I know what it is though. Its an Ireland agenda that i wanted. He goes, i saw this and knew u would like it. I hope it is Ireland lol. So then we go to the cart that sells purses and wallets in front of Lane Bryant. We looked at all of them and got mom a dog purse and matching wallet. And then back over to the calendar table and i got her a cat calendar. Then we headed over to Bath and Body. Ok i spent so much time here, kept getting the wrong items with my deal and then in the end, got jipped. So i had a spend 35$ and get 2 free products card. So i get my things and one of the things i couldnt get cause it didnt go with the card. So then the girl tells me theres also a buy 3 things get 1 free deal. So overall i said, so i can spend 35$ and get 3 free things instead of 2 right? And she said yes to my face. So i get 3 other things, go back and stand in line, cant get 2 of them, go get more, stand in line, cant get one of them, go back and finally get what i need. She rings it up, and its 51$. I was about to crap all over myself. I didnt even care by that point and just bought it. I ended up getting 2 free things. I dont know how she coned me into that. I dont care anymore. I did that last year too. I should have just said, im gonna spend 35$ and get my 2 free things, end of story. Oh well. I have 8 things now. So then we went to Victoria Secrets to get some love spell for my mom and this lady bombarded us and said i could get the purse that had 3 different love spell items for 20$. That was quite a deal since the perfume would have cost 20$ by itself. So i got that and me and my dad literally had 75c left between the 2 of us lol.

So we go home for about 2 hours and go to the gym at 3:30 and shower and then go eat downtown at Panera. It was SO GOOD. I wanted a bread bowl with soup, but they were out of bowls so i got soup and a casear salad that was great. The guy that took our order was cute too. Then we got a bagel for breakfast for tomorrow and a coffee. And i was gonna go see a movie with Ashley and Jillian but everything to see was either on already or too late so i didnt go and im here now.

Oh yeah and my dad mentioned that at UTC, if im out alone at night and dont feel safe, i can go to a corner on campus and push a special button and the campus police will come get me and drive me to my apartment. Isnt that awesome? And then he said they would do that if u were drunk too. They wouldnt ask questions or report u, they'd just take u home. I thought that was pretty cool.

Today was poo...

Well i had quite an interesting day today. So i wake up around 3:30 or 4 tossing and turning. Well once im awake, i realize my head is about to explode. The worst headaches ever are the ones u have when u wake up. I havent had one in a while though. Well i wake up again at 6 and my alarm doesnt go off till 6:30, but i got up anyway cause it was pointless to go back to sleep when i was in pain and had to pee real bad. Well since i feel so bad, i go and get some tylenol and my dad heard me and said hey and i told him i was feeling like poo. I go and brush my teeth and all and i dont even care what i look like cause i put all my hair up, bangs and all and had mascara and cover up on only. I also wore my ugly yellow shirt i hate. So it was poo day.

So i go downstairs and fix some cereal cause i know its not good to take medicine on an empty stomach. I lay on the couch and watch CNN and he my cereal a little bite at a time. It kinda made me sick but i choked it down. It made me feel like i was gonna throw up. Well around 7, i just thought there was no way i could make it to school or drive. So i go upstairs and lay down and go back to bed in my uniform and all. I was like, if i feel better, i'll just go in late. I didnt think my dad would really care.

So i slept for about an hour and woke up and my dad was kinda surprised to see me lol. I was felt a little better but my head still hurt. I could tell it would be a headache that wouldnt go away until the next day. But i went on to school and got there about 8:40 or so. So i was counted absent in Bible. But i went the rest of the day and didnt feel any better. My dad had told me if i felt worse to call him. So after lunch i just gave up and called. It was one of those headaches that hurts and pounds when u walk. So then it made me feel dizzy to bend down. I dunno. I think it was because i dreamed i met Bush at the high school office last night lol.

But i came home about 1 and took a nap. I took some more medicine and felt better but my head still hurts now. Ive missed 4 classes in 1st and last period now. All unexcused.

Me and dad went to Captain D's tonight. It was so good. I cant go to the footballl game tonight since its at FCA. Me and my dad always go but hes got something to do with work and didnt wanna chance going, so were not going. I couldnt get a ride either. But i dont really wanna drive 3 hours and sit in the rain and cold and possibly lose. People wouldnt be back till 1 or later. Im listening to it online right now. Its Coach brown and Mr Greer. Its so funny to hear Coach brown. I'll have to bother him on Monday lol.

Im going Christmas shopping tomorrow! WOO!

Football Baby!

We won the game last night 41 to 8. Woo! It was so funny, someone's dad took a bbs helmet, pants and football jersey and stuffed it. He put it on a pole so u could hold it up, and he put a sign on it that said, "Another Buc recruited from Whutwell." It was so great. I sat with Jillian and Spenser. He's so funny. He kept screaming the whole time lol. We play friendship christian next week, there. Thats poo too cause my dad is duty manager at work and wont go up there cause he might get paged. So i have to find a ride. I might ride with matt's parents. They always go and dont care to take me since they live right down the street.

My grandparents, Adam, my cousin, Andrew and Uncle all came over today. Andrew just turned 19, is in the National Guard witht the 278th and is going to Camp Shelby tomorrow to prepare for Iraq in 2 weeks. I didnt even know my grandparents and uncle, who lives on the coast of NC were coming. It took him 14 hours to get here just to eat. Well anyway it was very sad. We all said a special prayer for him and me, mom and granny all cried. He reminds me so much of JJ on American Dreams. Just his face and hair and mannerisms and all. If u dont watch the show, JJ is about 19 or 20 and joined the marines. On the show hes in Vietnam. And i just love how today was all about death. My uncle, who always thinks he owns our house and us personally, just took over to do the prayer. And after Andrew had left, he randomly goes, yeah theres a chance he might not come back. Thanks. That makes me feel real good. And for some reason my grandmother just loves to comment on my cats dying. Whenever she pets them, she always says, its gonna be a shame when something happens to those cats. Thanks. She said it today and last week too. People keep bringing death sooner than its suppose to be here.

Oh yeah and i didnt mention that the other day i lost my Kerry pin somewhere at school and i go into 3rd period on thursday and megan applewhite goes, Cortney i should burn this, but i decided to give it back to you, and she pulled out my pin! I was so happy! She said she found it by the conference room lol. I was like thank u! I was just gonna make another one if i couldnt find it lol. Yeah but while i was taping it on, Reed decided to put his 2 cents in like he always does. He keep talking smack, and decided to be real cute and take some paper and make his own pin that he taped on. So we sit back down and he just wont stop talking about my pin and Kerry. Even Anne told him to be quiet and leave me alone. So finally i just let him have it. I remember saying, You talk more than anyone i know. I think i said something along the lines of I dont think i was talking to you or asking u for your input and something about shutting your mouth and whatnot. I dont know since it was last week, but i remember everyone went DOOOOO real loud like the guys always do. I was so mad. I could feel my heart going 90 miles a minute after i had said it. I just sat there. He sits next to me too. Mrs Hood said one of us needed to move. He didnt say anything to me or anyone for the rest of class.

We had our first play off game last night. We won 42 to 7, but we played like poo the first quarter. The other team scored and i said to Jillian, "Goll, why don't they just give the ball to Matt Peardon?" Not 10 seconds later he's in the endzone lol. It was so cold though. It was in the 40's but felt colder. Im glad i wore my coat and had a blanket. Me and Jillian huddled together for body heat. Oh yeah and she had Jessica's phone and i saw her background was a picture of Bush and said Bush/Cheney 04 and when she sat back down, I took my phone out and compared them to her. I had John Edwards on my background lol. She laughed cause she said she took a pic of her computer too lol.

Well im kinda bored. Im looking at John Edwards stuff right now. I realized yesterday that the Biltmore is in NC and he lives there! And i told Mrs Hood and she goes, cortney, the biltmore is on the TN/NC line and he lives on the coast on the other side of the state lol. Dang, but then i remembered my rich uncle lives on an island in NC! So im gonna see how close they are to each other. Oh yes and last night I saw a Kerry sign on the corner down from school next to the gas station and i told my dad i wanted it for my scrapbook and gov. project. So after the game he said he'd let me get it and he makes a Uie in the middle of the road and stops in the turning lane and i jump out and run over and snatch it out of the ground and trot back lol. It was one of the last ones. YEAH! I was so excited! Im gonna try and find the democratic election office and go see if they have any free stuff left. Oh yeah and im thinking about wearing my Kerry pin for the next 4 years instead of 1 b/c he is in office 4 years. I dunno. Gotta think that one over.

Well anyway the meeting for the Italy trip is today, im not going on the trip but they like alumni to go to the meeting so im going. I get a pin and Karen and Christie are coming! YAY!

Oh yeah, i got into UTC.

Election

Well guys, yes its over and the outcome is not what i wanted. John Kerry did not win. I have to stare at the same ugly face and hear that voice for another 4 years. Yay. This poor country. I'm more worried about the country than Kerry losing, well both actually cause there both important. More soldiers still in Iraq, the draft might come back, higher taxes, more countries hating us and more jobs lost. Oh yeah and did I mention that when i was talking to my dad about the election as a whole and explaining stuff to him he said he didn't know who he would vote for b/c he didnt like things about both of them. And with Bush he said that he thinks he will probably try to get rid of TVA. It is one of the last big government run organizations/companies left and he said he thinks Bush will get tired of funding it and sale it off in shares. That means no more job. If that man makes my dad lose his job hes had for almost 30 years, i will personally shoot him.

Well to win, either candidate had to win 2 of the big states, Pennsylvania, Flordia and Ohio. Well Kerry won PA and Bush won FL and Ohio by 400,000 votes the next morning. Man I was almost in tears. I knew i would be eaten alive at school. Well on election day, i wore my navy skirt, white polo and a red flag shirt underneath, with the sleeves and bottom sticking out to be patriotic. And then i wore flag earrings and then patriotic sandals that ended up being FLIP FLOPS. Yes they were flip flops and i didnt even think about it till i got to school and Tudor noticed. Anne said i was a walking oxy moron lol. Oh and it dawned on me that i need to make cupcakes for such an important event! So i went and looked to see what we had and we had an off brand cake mix, that was ok. And we had Xmas cupcake wrappers that looked patriotic from a far cause they had stars on them and then i used chocolate icing. Well then i put little metal looking sugar balls on all of them with sprinkles and spelled out either a K or a B with their parties' color and i mixed the sprinkles for 3 that said USA. Those stupid things took so long to make. I wonder how many little balls i put on those things. Oh well.

Well since i didnt have an actual Kerry pin, i drew my own and lamenated it and taped it on for the day. And i knew doing this that i would be attacked viciously at school, which i was. I think the best comment was from Tres who called me a lesbian baby killer. I though that one was pretty good. And all day i was so excited and was running around all pumped. I so cannot wait till 2008. Then i'll be at UTC and can do something political and i even talked to Mrs Hood about it and she told me how to get on the candidate's campaign. That would be so amazing. This election has made me want to get into politics even more now. I had pondered the idea for a while and all and ive decided im gonna major in education and minor in political science. I really wanna do something political, but then i'll have a steady job being a teacher if that doesnt work out.

I was asking my dad if politicians need like a college degree in political science and all this stuff and he goes, "Cortney, look at Arnold Schwarzenegger." That was a very good point. If people like you and you have money, thats about all ya need. The thought of living in DC doesnt really thrill me that much though. I'd be scared of an attack. I guess if i really want it then i have to make sacrifices. Well anyway at school on Wednesday, no one had a definite winner yet but everyone had predicted it would be Bush b/c of the voting. Well they finally announced a winner and i swear talked about/came up to me like someone had died. I heard alot of "Cortney, i'm so sorry." And Megan G told me that when they found out he won in 4th period, they all cheered and then everyone went, "Oh poor Cortney. I hope she's ok." Its good people were nice to me about it. Well then i had a few who werent. I had a little jack ass by the name of Reed Hayes come about 10 inches from my face and yell BUSH. Well then come to find out in Pre Cal that Mrs Hood chewed him out about something, so that made me happy. So i went in and asked her and she said in 2nd period he was jumping around screaming Bush and everything else and she said she took off her glasses and got in his face and chewed his butt out. I laughed so hard. She even said he was a jerk.

Well since the election is over, Kerry does go back to the Senate which is great, but Edwards doesnt. I wanted to cry about that one. I wont get to see his pretty face as much. His wife also has cancer. And i have decided, i do not approve of this election, so i am protesting it. I am going to wear my Kerry/Edwards pin everyday for the rest of the year. Chad Mynatt does it for the uniform by wearing his grey shirt everyday, why cant i do it with the election?

Well my haircut went over well at school. I pulled in and christin ran over to my car with a smirk on her face. She was like, LET ME SEE! And then Megan G pulled in and parked next to me and she was like let me see it! I think i had my hair behind my shoulders and i pulled it in front and she squealed, "IT LOOKS SO CUTE!" And then Brittany M walked over and was like, get out let me see lol. Well then i had my meeting with Mrs Roland and it ran over, of course. So i go upstairs and im almost the only one in the hall and all of a sudden, Morgan, Jamie and Merri Wynne come from all sides and attack me with shrieks lol. I had each of them on one side of me at my locker. It was good. It looks pretty good. It looks funny layered though. Oh well. I tried to flip it out too with hair spray. Well i sprayed it as i curled it on the curling iron and the hair spray sizzled on the iron. It stayed though until i brushed it. I shouldnt have done that. Im gonna have to actually buy product to put in it. I think im gonna buy a heavy duty hair spray and some cream. Megan g told me to get some certain stuff. She was like, u need to let me come over and flip your hair out, i was like ok please do cause i cant lol.

We won the ball game 62 to 0. I got bored by half time and came home. I was tired of seeing Matt Peardon in the endzone every 5 seconds. They made me pay to park too!!! Those pieces of crap. I was like hey im a student and they said oh that was only for homecoming. I was like wtf? I pay 6,000$ to go here and i cant park for free. What a joke.

Oh yeah, Jillian came home with me and we went to Arbys for dinner. We started talking about family trees for some reason and she said her grandmother i think, or someone in her family, not sure who, kinda forgot. Well anyway her last name was Alexander and then she married an unrelated Alexander! Isnt that freaky? Oh yeah and ive been meaning to post that i found out i have a relative who is buried in Philadelphia, in a Quaker cemetary, next to Betsy Ross' house, Independence Hall. I about cried when i heard that. Thats so awesome. I have some cool history now. Sweet.

No More Hair!

Well its gone guys. Everyone can scream, gasp or cry now. I thought i would bawl but i didnt. It looks really good. A good length with long layers. She curled it too and i think i might wash it again though cause its falling and it might look greasy in the morning. I think i'll wash it and then curl it again. Its nice to move my head in one motion at one time and not have to wait on my hair to move with me lol. My ponytail isnt as long as i thought though. Its funny looking. I cut off 11 1/2 inches. I hope everyone likes it. Its good for me to have a change. Today, i got everyone who usually plays with my hair to have one last time to brush it cause i said i wouldnt have any tomorrow lol.

It was announced that we get to order our cap and gowns tomorrow! Well get the stuff at least. Its gonna be so sad. Well its other stuff too, like tassels, memory books and all the other junk they try and jip u on. I hope no one cries.

Tomorrow i will be bald.

Ok yeah i would just like to say that people should keep their political opinions to themselves when talking to someone of a different party. I know our entire school is republican cause its church of Christ, duh, can we say conservative? But i dont see why people have to be so rude when they hear your for kerry or nader. Im just like yeah, there are other parties to vote for, not just the one in office right now. I love how people just love to blast John Kerry for everything he does. U dont see me going around and saying ANYTHING about Bush. I have said nothing. Ya know if i wanted to be real mean i could go around and say hes the one who decided to attack a defenseless, innocent country and send all of our armed troops in and kill innocent women and children, now couldnt i? I could say what the rest of the world thinks about him. And if i really wanted to make the point hit home, i could say if it wasnt for Bush, my cousin wouldnt be going to his probable death in Iraq because of a false cause. Yah know what i really wanna say is, yeah just wait and see who's in the White House next tuesday, then you'll keep your mouth shut for at least four years. Thanks.

Oh yeah and speaking of opinions, i hate reed hayes. I think i have already stated that fact before but im saying it again cause its true. He thinks he knows everything, not just political, just in general. Especially in Bible. But anyway he's in my contemporary issues class and today we were on the laptops on cnn.com. I saw on the headlines that there was a new Japanese hostage there, so i said that as a general statement. I was like hey mrs hood did u see that theres a new hostage. I wasnt being political by any means and reed looks at me and mumbled something about you cant expect automatic results in a war or in iraq or something along those lines. I just looked at him and go, are u talking to me and he shook his head. I turned around and gave Megan Applewhite the most crazed look of WHY!?!?! I said something so random and he twisted it into something about blaming the government and kerry's right. I dont know. I know it pist me off though. I just kinda stared into space for a few moments after that. Boys..bah.

Well ladies, the time has finally come. I will have hair no more. My appointment is Thursday at 3:30. I have to brace myself. I will have no more hair. I know im gonna cry. Probably when im in the chair, on the way home, that night and the next day at school because people will actually see it. Truthfully im terrified. From what I have now, I will be legally bald. Most girls will have longer hair than me, thats gonna be hard. I think its gonna be so hard b/c my hair is kind of a security blanket. Ahh, i dont want it gone :(

Oh yeah yesterday i about peed on myself cause it was so funny going to physics. I was walking down the stairs and Coach Johnston was coming up and somehow Tiffany pushed or tripped him and he about fell, but he managed to steady himself on me, by basically molesting me. Me and Tiffany laughed so hard on the way to class. It was hilarious.

Partay!

So we had the wonderful halloween party last night. I had a blast. I thought it turned out great. So I took the awful ACT and then went home and ate. I waited for Ashley to call me so i could go help decorate and i call her and shes at the mall. Of course. I figured it would be an hour max, but instead it was more like 2 cause of jessica. So i was like why am i sitting here when Jillian is decorating, so i went on over there to help her. They had everything almost done already. It looked awesome. It was a perfect place for a party. So then Jillian went home to take another shower and ended up bringing Lacie. Me and Ashley went to her tanning bed. Well she went, i sat in the car and ate some mcdonalds since i hadnt eaten or wasnt going to for a while. Then we went back to her house and hung out till we started getting ready. All of Ashley's aunts and her cousin Reagan and Jonathan were there.

So when we got there Jessica's friend Wayne had brought a friend, Nathan, who was gorgeous and he wore Jessica's bbs uniform. It was so funny. He looked like Britney Spears. And then Jessica put his hair in pigtails and put makeup on him. He was so hott. It was so funny though cause he came up to me when everyone was dancing and was like "Elvis! Elvis!" in a girly voice. And all night he was like come dance with me Elvis lol.

Well anyway people started showing up, but not many were in costumes and if they were, most of them all looked the same. All of the girls had short dress type things like strawberry shortcake, little bo peep, stuff like that. Like half the grade didnt show up. But other people who werent in our grade or didnt go to Boyd did. Ashley got pist and i dont blame her. People crashed it for no reason. We all danced the whole time though. It was so funny. Christin was my dancing partner the whole night lol. I had forgotten how good Katie R danced! She was awesome! It was mostly girls dancing but some guys did. Oh yeah Wayne had a blow up penis costume. It was so funny.

Well, i won best dressed! WOO! Go me! lol it was so funny. I dont think i really won cause it was based on applause but Ashley's mom let me have it lol. Nathan and Drew got 2nd and 3rd. Drew wore a girl costume of a german girl lol. It was hilarious. Oh yeah and when they took pics of the 3 of us, Nathan touched my butt for some reason. He was like, i think i touched Elvis' butt. We were waiting on the flash and i suddenly felt something on my butt, i was like wtf? lol. Oh yeah and when we were dancing, Christin went over to the side and she was like, I cant dance! And then nathan and i were trying to get her dance, so we started a hoe train and he got in the middle and was like grinding on me. It was so funny.

It was a good party though. I so want someone to have a random party like that where we all dance. Cause i havent done that since freshman year. But i helped clean up some and then i headed home. I was so beat. School tomorrow! NO!

Woo. Halloween party tomorrow baby. Well ACT first, blah. Thats gonna be crap. Im gonna try and do my best cause i really dont take it again. Im aiming for a 24 or 25 since i already have a 21. If i can do better on that damn math, goll thats crap. Then i gotta go help decorate for the party. I hope alot of people show up. Im kinda nervous though cause i look ridiculous as Elvis and i know people are gonna laugh. Plus, who wants to see Elvis dance? Um..not me. And then to top it off I found out Chad is coming as Michael Meyers again like in 10th grade. Gah i dont wanna cry cause im terrified. I know he will come up behind me again. Poo head.

Podunk

Woo!!! Went shopping today! I got my halloween costume! Elvis will be appearing at the Mill Run party this weekend. The king lives! Its so funny. So we go to Party City and I try on the Elvis Costume. The top is ok but the pants make me look fat. Plus it was kinda short. So then I tried on the Lucy costume, cause i knew Jillian decided not to be her anymore. It looked real cute and all, but the part under the breast wouldnt even go over my arms and i almost ripped it, so i took it off real quick. So i was upset cause i didnt know what i was gonna be. So they didnt have anything at Walmart. I said i could have bought the prisoner costume and bought the elvis wig and glasses and said i was jailhouse rock elvis, but i decided not to. So after we went to the mall and all we went to the balloon factory again. Last time we were there, they didnt have an Elvis costume and today they had 2!!!!! I got all excited. One was vinyl and an actual jumpsuit, with a massive dip in the middle, and was 40$. And the other one had a cape, pants, a top and a belt, so i got that one. Its so funny. With the wig and glasses i look awesome. IM sorry to say that i do look good. I wore the wig and glasses home and then of course Elvis came on the oldies station so i start screaming and dancing and my parents had a field day cause they had Elvis dancing in the backseat. Woo next week is gonna be so funny. Well at party city they had huge gold fake eyelashes that i thought would be cute when i took off my glasses but then i figured theyd really bother me since the normal ones do. I do have some black ones though.

Woah yesterday we came home from the gym about 12 in the afternoon and all of the sudden we turn the corner and i look and directly next to our subdivision, there was a car upside down. It had flipped and there were police and ambulances everywhere. There was a person still in the car!!!! I couldnt see them when we finally got into the neighborhood but im sure they were gonna have to cut them out. It looked awful.

Homecoming Week - Day 5

Well today was interesting. Full of drama as well. So today was blue and gold day and i wore my gold track pants, and tie dye shirt, which i glued my stars on the back and spelled out BUCS and then i wore my hair in pigtails with ribbon. Well i have to say Danielle and Meenal were by far the funniest and they said they would be all week. They had huge blue and gold wigs and huge shoes and had wild makeup. Meenal wore a gaudy blue sequined dress from good will. It was so funny.

Well anyway, we practically did nothing all day. We watched a movie 2nd, 6th and 7th period. And we played a game in precal and made cards in art. The only real work i did was a test 3rd period and service hours in Bible. So about the drama. Well Mrs. Lane was at school with Avery today and we all ran over to talk to her and i stood there for about 5 minutes or so and I come back to the table and Ashley and Brittany are yelling at each other. Brittany had brought cupcakes and cookie cake for our table and from what i understand, Ashley wanted a cupcake and Brittany, being herself, threw it in her chili on purpose i think. So then Ashley doesnt like her that much anyway and then starts yelling at her and then they got into some big argument. The last thing I heard was Ashley say your so immature and Brittany said some remark. Well by then it was time to go. So me and Brittany are walking back and she starts cussing Ashley like no other to some girl and i didnt wanna hear it at all, so i walk off real fast. I hear her come up behind me, saying Cortney, Cortney and i try to ignore her until she comes up next to me. She was like, why did u walk off? I said i dont particularly wanna hear u cuss my best friend like that and then she gets mad at me! She goes, well i dont see u defending me when im getting chewed out! That shows what kind of friends I have. And storms off. I was kind of in shock like, well i dont have anything to defend you on since i wasnt there when you 2 were arguing. So I go to my locker and then the bathroom. I walk in and shes sitting there crying and Katie Roddy is talking to her. I look at her and just go in the stall and I hear her say, I dont have any friends here, I hate it here. And Katie was just like you know thats not true. And then that was it cause i left. I dont know. I had no idea what happened until Jillian told me Brittany started it, being herself. For some reason she thinks bothering people is funny and she especially likes to do that to Ashley cause she gets mad easily. Ahh i dont know.

Well anyway we went to the pep rally and went wild. They had the whole school in there too. So the seniors were all on the floor screaming and chanting and watching the games they were playing. They were suppose to play the furniture game, so i got excited and me and Christin Walker practiced in government. We were doing pretty good. I thought holding her in my arms would be hard cause my arms are weak and plus my right arm hurts like poo from powder puff, but it wasnt too difficult when i got her to lean on me. But they never played it :(. Instead they had a hula hoop contest and it came down to Tres and a middle schooler, yeah they let middle school play for some reason. But Tres won, haha. We went wild lol. And then they played musical chairs and Brett, Megan W and Robert all played. Well they were all getting nasty and coach Pope was yelling at everyone. Well all the seniors got out and at the end it was the freshmen and Juniors. Its been a brawl between seniors and juniors all week, so all the seniors started cheering for the freshman lol. Well they cheered for us during the volleyball game anyway. But the juniors won, poo poo. But we won the spirit stick obviously. So then i run out to meet my mom to get home asap.

So we stop at subway, i eat most of that on the way home and then i run in and take a shower. I have an hour and a half to get ready. I wash, wrap my hair up in a towel and let it dry for about 10 minutes while i scarf down my sandwich. I dry my hair and started sweating cause the bathroom was so hot. So when thats finally i dry i put on my hose and tank top i was wearing under my suit jacket. I curl my bangs and then start putting on my makeup. So then i was saying at school that there was no reason for me to curl my hair b/c it would be straight by the time i got there, so Morgan told me to put them in and wear them a while and take them out at school. So i did that. I put them in and wore them for about 30-45 minutes. So we left at like 5 till 5 and i thought we would get there too early, so i decided to take my curlers out there. I took them out and my hair looked beautiful. Curls just at the bottom. It held pretty good, or so i thought. So i get there and im one of the last people. I get my massive flower and have it pinned on. Then after talking, we line up. And surprisingly, Joseph was cordial to me all night. I thought he would have a grudge against me and Katie and not talk to us. But he was great. He was cracking jokes the whole time. He kept throwing awful lines to me all night. He was like, yeah i'd rather walk with you over Katie anyway cause your prettier and when Callie was going through the trellis, i was like theres our queen and he goes, your my queen lol. I just laughed at him. So when were up there waiting to go, i had to tell him when to walk and what side to go to cause he switched positions. After we were in line we stood there and talked the whole time lol. I'm glad i got to walk with him.

Oh yeah Callie did win, like we all knew. Oh and my mom went picture happy. I had 15 pic left for the night and i told her to take 2, 1 of me under the trellis and one when i was on the line. I come back and she's taken 6 or 7! I had 6 pictures left! I told her that and she started yelling at me! Well then i got a picture with Joseph and with everyone else known to man. And then i walk all the way to the kindergarten to change and I run into Casey on the way there and i got a picture with her later. But instead of walking all the way to the kindergarten, to the gym and then back and then back again, i changed in the van somehow. Well im sweating the whole time and then the guy parking people on that end kept 'casually' looking over in my direction or directly at our van. Sicko. So i wore my sweater and had a jacket, which i thought would be way too much cause i was sweating already, but by the second half of the game i wore both cause it got cool. But the seniors had to sit on the bank, i knew we would. I think thats ridiculous. The most important people there at the game and we have nowhere to sit. If parents werent sitting in the student section, the underclassmen were.

The game was pretty good for the first half. It was 14 to 14 at half time i think. Well then our awesome second half team came out and kicked some a**. The final was 42 to 21. They were blue and gold too! But anyway Tiffany came and sat by me for a while and we started talking about the guys in the grade and we got on the topic of Seth. So i was telling her how beautiful he is and that i got molested by him at pp and she about laughed her head off. Cause i was saying that he was 'fine' and 'beautiful' and she was like Cortney, ive never heard u talk about boys like that before lol. And then me, dani, brittany and tiff were going to steak and shake but then on the way there i changed my mind and went home cause i was so tired. I didnt feel it till i was almost there. So i dont know who else went. It was a great homecoming. I thought i would cry too but i didnt, so thats good.

GO SENIORS! GO BUCS!

Homecoming Week - Day 4

Well today wasnt so great. Well we found out that we were tied for first place in points with the Juniors and then their float was great at the powder puff game. So the whole focus of today was the game and all that it entailed.

So this morning we find out that the sophomores and juniors cant wear their neon pink shorts they got b/c there too short and their butts hang out and then that no one can wear sofees unless they wear tights or biker shorts underneath. So Christin Walker comes into 3rd period and tells us this and it turns out that they were going to make a Walmart run for them. Yeah this is really happening. And then this morning our pp shirts are WAY too small. I got a large and it looked like a small. They were extremely small. So then mrs wood thinks ok, i dont think im gonna let yall wear those, even though u already bought them and everything. INstead u get to wear homecoming shirts. Yes, once again this is actually happening. So since there cotton we had to stretch them as much as possible to get them bigger. And we dont know if we can wear them until we get out on the field. So we end up wearing them and then they decide to put both teams on the same side of the field, so our shirts cant be seen. yeah. And it turns out the biker shorts are shorter than the pink shorts, theres no point to them!

Katie Beckham got hurt, and so did Allison and Brittany Thomas. Brittany fell on the ground and started screaming. She was wailing. It was her OTHER knee. She had her surgery last year and had a brace on it, so then she hurt her good knee. They said something bad must have happened because she never cries. So thats great for volleyball. Well then Allison comes over and says someone stepped on her head and she got hit so hard she couldnt see or walk straight. So Drew carried her off the field. She went back in later though.

Well they played dirty the whole game. I thought Tudor was gonna break Jessica Ives in half cause jessica was all over her. Tudor kept coming back to the huddle and saying all that she did. Everyone tried to tackle us and hit. I got to block Christian Hudgens the whole game cause she played both ways. So shes not very big, so to keep her in front of me, i grabbed her by the waist and held on. I just took her around the middle and held on. And finally at the end of the game, i did it again and when i let go she grunted, rolled her eyes and i said, "yeah, get over it". I hope she heard that one. If u cant play the game, get off the field.

Oh yeah well it ended up being a tie, 0 to 0, which sucked. Oh and Brittany Martin finally got to play after 4 years of not playing and she got the flag 3 plays in a row. Everytime she there was a new play, she had the flag in 5 seconds max. I was like finally they put someone quick in!

Oh and Tres won the mock homecoming. And for the rest of the day, Megan Humble was an actual glow worm. She bought huge pieces of green fabric and sewed it somehow and then had little sections to tie to make it look caterpillarish and then she had a place for her hands and nowhere for her feet, so she was wheelchaired around school today. Her costume was amazing.

Oh yeah and the best part of the day was during a time out in the pp game. So offensive is in a huddle while Katie was hurt and all the sudden i hear "Cutcher!" I look over and its Seth coming towards me. I was kind of surprised b/c he was coaching defense and i had nothing to do with him the whole game. But anyway he comes over and hes giving me tips for blocking and he said i need to aim for their hips cause its harder for them to get around you. He was demonstrating on himself like pushing with both hands on his hips bones to show me wear to aim for and all the sudden he did it on me! He started pushing on my hip/pelvic bone! He said some more stuff and then he did it a second time! It was wonderful cause he is absolutely beautiful. That is way up there with the time i got to block Robby in pp practice sophomore year. Woo what a day. Bonfire tonight too.

Oh i wore my fake eyelashes toO! Ashley bought me some and they were so long. They looked great though. I put them on and then some mascara so they were super long. They looked really pretty. Barbie!

Homecoming Week - Day 3

We had the wonderful group day today! Yay! It was great. Well I wore my gray short sleeve short and shorts with my black tights and black long sleeve shirt. I painted my eyes black too and i looked scary lol. I didnt have anymore stuff after that. But anyway I went to school and I see Christin drive in with some funky looking glasses on and she gets out and shes an old woman. It was by far the funniest thing ever b/c she stuffed her butt with a pillow so it made it bigger than it already is. And then i got her to pop and it giggled lol. She had on an old dress and cardigan and glasses and had an old woman wig on and half pulled up stockings. She did that with Callie, Allison and Anne and then the boys were the main feature. Chad, Brett, Michael, Ben, Chris, Tres and David and probably some more were the old men. They all rode in in some kind of old car and blasted old music. So they park in the handicap section and they all get out and they have walkers and canes to use all day. They walked all hunched over and real slow. It was hilarious.

Oh by far the best costumes of the day were the junior boys. They all rode in behind each other in their cars and had their flags waving out the window. They were the secret service and Presidents. It was fabulous. Ryan Russell was George Bush, Reed Hayes was John Kerry, and im not sure about the others but there was a Colin Powell, Clinton, Nixon and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They all had signs to carry around too. The Arnold person had a sign that said "Kerry will terminate in 08'" and "Kerry tells true lies". Not that i like those, but they were funny cause they went with his outfit and all. The secret service men all had on ties and coats with sunglasses and little microphones for their ears. It was awesome. And at the pep rally they were in a group on the floor and had like a mosh with their posters and all lol.

And speaking of the pep rally, they had the boys powder puff volleyball game between seniors and juniors. Well we won, but the funny thing is that the sophomores and freshmen protested by holding up newspapers like they didnt care and didnt watch. I thought that was cute. But the pep rally wasnt that great cause the cheerleader's music didnt work, so they did the dance without it and we didnt have much spirit cause they didnt do any games, only the volleyball and a few cheers. But the whole Peter Pan crew went down for best dressed. I didnt realize it until we were all down there, but there were only 5 lost boys! I thought there were gonna be alot more. There were alot of pirates though and then Indians. Morgan was our Peter Pan though and she looked good. No one knew who I was even when I had a sign that said "Lost Boy: Raccoon" on my shirt. They were like what are u? I was like are u insane? Oh well.

A guy came from Harding today to speak in chapel and then hung out at lunch and fed the whole grade. He was cute too! He was nice too. Him and another guy came and talked to everyone and then helped take pictures when Peter Pan got together.

My mom came out into the courtyard at lunch. Enough said.

Ok yesterday all the elementary kids were crowding the door way to see all the high schoolers walk in. Well today they got smart and let them into the courtyard and they could stand in the grass and watch. Well we always knew someone funny was coming because they would all point and laugh and scream. They really did when Drew Akins came running in with his sumo outfit on. They loved that. It was funny. Ya know i wish they would play the music that they play in the cafeteria, outside for us. The seniors are the main people and we cant hear any of it. Thats poo poo.

Oh yeah and the hall decorations, lets talk about that. We got 3rd. Oh yes i said it, 3RD! We did all that work and got 3RD! The freshmen somehow got second. Im sure that was rigged cause they have to have so many points to be fair. Im just glad the sophomores got last cause theres was super poo poo.

Homecoming Week - Day 2

Well myself and Jillian spent the night at Ashleys last night. That was wild. We didnt go to bed till about 11:30 or so and then we got up at 6. So needless to say i feel like poo. That house was crazy this morning. With all of us brushing our teeth, dressing and putting on makeup, it was insane. Well me and Jillian got dressed and did everything, and we went and sprayed our hair, which looked great. We were covered in glitter too. I had glitter everywhere. Im gonna be eating it for a week lol. So i left at 7 and got to school and decorated my car with Christin. Everyone looked great too. Brittany and Hannah were Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr Seuss and then Krissy, Tudor and Ashley M were it too. I think Brittany and Hannah looked better though, just because of their wigs. And then Kris and Robert wore Tigger and Pooh bear suits and the creepy thing is that they didnt plan it. They both just showed up in it. Clay was pee wee again and looked cute. Katie R was strawberry shortcake and looked adorable. She went down for best dressed. Seth wore a gorilla suit. Megan humble was amazing as always. She was a misfit, and her hair looked so good, it looked like a wig. It was like solid and all green. She looked awesome. I was really tired of hearing, what are u? All day! I mean come on, i know more than 6 people watched Jem when they were little.

Oh at lunch, all the little kids were in there and were crowding around the door screaming at everyone b/c of their costumes. We were like Backstreet Boys, haha. And they did the balloon game at the pep rally, which we won. Oh yeah and i stayed after school to decorate the doorway. It was such a pain. It looks great though. But i didnt get home till 6:40 or so. Im so tired. And then i had an awful headache and im on my period. But we printed our pics of everyone in the grade from 9th grade and put it on the wall. It looks awesome. And then we put games on the wall and their tops. Awesome. Gotta go, dead.

Homecoming Week - Day 1

Hey! The first day of homecoming was today. Fun stuff I must say. Well it was t shirt day, like u didnt already know. I dont expect to do much at all this week, which is great. Well we had homecoming practice 3rd and 4th period today, which went well. I was really nervous about it though. But all the girls went and were changing shoes and then guys and girls were made into tallest to shortest lines. I was on the taller end and i was looking at the guys and they all were cute i.e. Tripp, Daniel, Michael, so i was happy about that. But she did it shortest to tallest, not tallest to shortest, which probably wouldnt have mattered anyway. But anyway I was with Clay, which i was happy with cause hes always nice to me. So we do the walk and line up and go through it twice and then at the end me and Katie R switched people. Haha. Yeah she was behind me with Joseph F and she kept talking to Clay the whole time, and i would have rather of been with Joseph just b/c im more comfortable with him than Clay since i talk to him more. So she said we could switch. So we asked Mrs Hood and she said it was fine, we just had to tell Mrs Wortman to switch the card order. So we switched it and I had to tell Clay and Joseph. So i tell Clay and he was fine with it. But then I told Joseph and he was like why did yall do that? And I told him and i was like do u care? and he goes yeah, but i dont know if he was kidding. So today i felt bad and i asked him in 3rd period and he was like i wish yall would have asked me. So now he makes me feel like he doesnt want to walk with me. We should have just kept it the same.

The pep rally was great though! We stood the whole time and screamed so much! I was so proud of us. We were wild. And then they played a clown game where 2 people had to face the school and sat in a row and put a clown face on them without looking. Well Christin and Tres went down and hers looked great, so we won. And then the toe touch came and no one elses was good except for Kyle Farmer, his was great. But then Tres did some little flip thing on the ground and jumped up and did a perfect toe touch, so we won that too. It was great lol.

Go Bucs!

Hey guys. Homecoming is this week baby! WOO! Im so pumped! We got our shirts on Friday afternoon. Megan drew the design! ITS AWESOME MEGAN! Its so great! And we can wear them at Disney too and kind of blend in lol. They're font is like Disney and its on the back and says Dejavu and then its got all kinds of fun, kid stuff around it like trolls, tinkerbell, barbie, GI Joe. Lots of cool stuff. There awesome. I cant wait to wear mine monday. Well here is the rundown for the week:

Monday - Tshirt day
Tuesday - character/cartoon day - Jem
Wednesday - Group day - Lost Boy - raccoon
Thursday - Toy day - Barbie
Friday - Blue and Gold Day - Tie dye shirt and pigtails

Well I got my homecoming stuff today at Walmart. So I got a long sleeve black top, black tights and face paint for the raccoon and im suppose to wear a gray top over that and we had one to buy but we didnt get it for some reason when we got home, so my mom thinks she laid it down somewhere when i was trying on clothes. So i gotta get one before wednesday. My gray shorts and top probably arent gonna match either though. Oh well. And then the black face paint looks kinda scary. I'll tone it down some. And I then I got a cute pink skirt to be Barbie and a black top. And for Jem I got a princess paint face set that has like pink and red face paint and stick on jewels and lots of glitter. So im gonna use that and i got some pink hair spray and a pink top which i made into a Jem shirt. We went to Hobby Lobby and i got diamond stars and hot glued them on the shirt and spelled out Jem. Its quite cute I must say. It should be fun. I just hope there isnt drama. Theres been enough already.

I have powder puff practice tomorrow at 7:30. Should be worthless, it always is. I just feel bad for Christin. Shes going through lots of crap with the shirts. Im gonna help her out with it so its not so bad. I bought a white bandana and black face paint for the game, which is DURING school. I HATE THAT WITH A PASSION! URGH! I didnt care when it was, as long as it wasnt during school. My mom is coming, but now my dad cant come and i wanted him to bad. Its thursday at 1:30. I wanna wear my bandana but i will probably be the only one and will look stupid. Oh well im a senior i can do what i want lol. The other day all the middle schoolers were in line to get their homecoming shirt after school and they were blocking the door. My entire physics was trying to get through the door so I started pushing and I go "MOVE, Im a senior." It was great.

Oh yeah let me mention the entire article in the paper about how awful our team is. Yeah the writer got the Walker Valley, Whitwell and Copper Basin and South Pittsburgh coaches to talk bad about us and say we recruit and all. Well Walker Valley didnt, they just said we were a beast which was pretty funny lol. But the Whitwell coach was the worst. He was like yeah they 'gather' there kids every week. Yeah he used the word gather. He said we get them from all around which is a bunch of bull and everyone at our school knows it. He was just pist cause we slaughtered them 59 to 0. There team SUCKS. Theyre AWFUL. And they honestly thought they would beat us. There team is suppose to be the hardest in the region this year, under us of course. They were ridiculously bad. He was like yeah they dont work harder or have better coaches than anyone, they just have natural athletes. Don't good players and good coaches = a good team? Yeah i think so.

And speaking of games, we had the South Pittsburgh game last night. We won 49 to 0. Haha. I rode up there with Casey too! it was so much fun! I went down to see her apartment and all and I met her cute boyfriend, Joe. He looks and sounds alot like Robby too. But anyway Erika was there with Sandy and I talked to her a bit. She is so sweet. I dont think i've ever seen her mad at anyone. Well anyway i went to Joe's apartment too and then we went to the food court to eat. And I was like umm..Casey it takes an hour to get to SP and its 7 and the game starts at 8. She was like haha it takes me 30 minutes to get there and i was like oh yeah right, but yeah we left at 7:15 and got there at 7:45. It was so funny. And then she looked like a hooker and it was freezing up there lol. She did it on purpose though. Her butt and boobs were hanging out. She was like, i dont go to Boyd anymore, I can do what I want, so im gonna rub it in their faces lol. She cracks me up.

ADAM IS MOVING OUT!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah im pretty sure I was showing my mom some type prom dresses i liked, cause i was bored and i was looking around online. I knew it was a mistake before i did it, i knew it was, i knew it was, i knew it was, i knew it was, but for some reason i did it anyway. Well i got exactly what i expected out of her when i did show them. I showed her real big poofy ones with massive poof, like super huge ballgowns. So she goes "You keep eating, you wont need the poof, your hips will poof it out anyway." I wasnt real sure about the first part but i definately heard the part about my hips being the poof. Thanks.

Life is poo.

Hey guys, sorry i havent updated in a while. We finally got our computer fixed!!!!!! YAY! Ive been on it non stop too. I love it.

Not much has been going on lately. We lost the Baylor game in the last 23 seconds, that hurt. I havent updated since before then, so thats 2 weeks. Everyone is talking about homecoming right now. The theme is Dejavu, which is childhood stuff. Its gonna rock. The 2 themed days are childhood toys and and characters. Its gonna be fun. On the character day me and some other people, i cant remember them all right now, are gonna be Jem and the Holograms! Isnt that awesome? I cant wait. And then on group day all the senior girls are gonna do Peter Pan. Im excited to do that too cause i was gonna be a mermaid after ashley begged me too and then she bailed on me, so im gonna be a raccoon with Jillian or a lost boy. And about that, um...i love how ashley moyer has decided all of these things for the grade without asking anyone. Thats just great. Oh yeah and did i mention that by the time the list got to me, all of the good characters were gone, i.e. tinkerbell was already taken by the queen herself. So then everyone else is left with the other crap. And then she thinks everyone wants to do treasure trolls for toy day, which i have no idea how that will work. Its just funny that shes making all the decisions for the grade.

Oh and then theres the whole deal with the class shirts. Shelly wants to get senior shirts, which is good. But she wants to tie dye them. Not blue and gold, but all of the colors. And then WERE suppose to dye them. And then they want to put the senior guys #s on there, which i like that idea if we draw out of a hat, b/c otherwise everyone is gonna be like, Oh i want his number! There are only 13 seniors, and there are 36 girls. Some girls will have the same number. I can just see the drama now. Im not wearing a tye dye shirt on blue and gold day.

And then homecoming court nominations were announced. Callie, Jamie, Shelley and Hope. I figured they'd all get them but i thought Ashley Moyer would have gotten it, thank goodness she didnt. Bah.

Oh and then theres powder puff. Christin is doing the shirts again, bless her heart. We think the team name is gonna be The Ninja Turtles and we'll all wear headbands, but then everyone was like no let's be the Smurfs. Oh wait, the guys wanted to be them, they dont play do they? No i didnt think so. Well i kept thinking that no matter what our team or colors were, we should wear bandanas cause the seniors had them last year and they were super cute. So i was gonna ask around and see if any of the girls would wear them and then with the Ninja Turtle thing, they wear them and theres 4 colors, so the freshmen could have 2 colors and the seniors could have 2. My mom said there a dollar at Hobby Lobby in all colors. So im gonna see how it plays out.

Anne tore her ACL and had surgery on tuesday. Poor thing. Before she had the work done, she had crutches for a bit and i helped her to Contemporary Issues everyday. Were gonna take her some cookies and a balloon tonight.

Well yesterday Jillian was having heart pains at lunch and said she had an irregular heartbeat and was in pain. Well today Ashley comes in and tells me that she went to the hospital last night and they did some blood work on her! I freaked out. She said it was probably fine though and not to worry. She wasnt at school today.

Ok i have some funny things to tell. Well this morning Tiffany comes up to me and told me she went into Coach Johnston's class and said hey and she said she bothered him. And she said he goes, Do u miss having Cortney in your last period class? And she goes, No cause shes in there now with me lol. And so shes telling me all this and i say we need to go say hi since i didnt get to go. So we waltz in and he looks at Tiffany and goes What do u want? And she goes, I brought Cortney, and he didnt notice me and then goes oh hey Cortney whats up? lol it was so funny. And then he started talking about a certain day last year when tiffany was super adhd and wouldnt stop moving and started dancing. And we were like what are u talking about? And he said u know u stomped or something and we about died cause we figured what he was talking about. It was so funny cause she did it again and we just died. Were gonna go back in tomorrow morning cause we remembered something else.

Ok well i have wanna say that Tara got her butt chewed out 2 days in row by Mrs Hood. Mrs Hood said something about there arent any 7th graders who watch the news or read the paper or anything and apparently she got offended cause Tara says shes read Time magazine since she was 3 and was like, nu huh u cant say that about all middle schoolers and all this stuff. And i didnt really hear what Mrs Hood said to make her say the comment but i did see her look at her kinda mean and said, U need to get this chip off your shoulder blah blah blah and i was like woah...go mrs hood. And then apparently she said something again today and mrs hood like bent over to her and said she needs to stop making her look like a hypocrite in her class and some other stuff. She didnt say anything for the rest of the class. I was like finally thank u for making her shut up.

And then the other day in Contemporary Issues we were watching the Student News on CNN and there was a segment with Kerry and Edwards on there. Well they were at some rally and had come out on stage together and were holding hands up, ya know how they do and Anne said something about, oh stop holding hands and Drew was like yeah, doesnt that look gay? And so then there was a segment on after that and Mrs Hood said something like yeah thats right about the second segment and Drew thought she meant about the gay thing and I turn around and go, she didnt hear u stupid. Megan Applewhite started cracking up. I heard her say Cortney somewhere in between breaths and Callie was like oooh she called u stupid lol. I was quite proud of myself for that one lol. College far at UTC tomorrow baby! Casey is coming to meet us! YAY!

Finely Baby!

We had a pimpin game at Finely stadium tonight. Boyd vs Gordon Lee. We had a shut out, 37 to 0. Awesome game. They didnt have a prayer. Well me and my parents went out to eat at Captain D's and then got to the game about 6:45 i think. They had military men there checking your bags as you went in too. It was kind of creepy, but im glad they did it. But did I mention that I felt like a hoe? I wore my pink and black skirt thats decently short and sleeveless black top, that is kind of low cut. And the wind was awful. I finally went and put my hair back in the second quarter. Either my skirt was flying up or my boobs were falling out because of my shirt. It was flash night. Well Ashley had such a time getting there and didnt arrive till like the end of the second quarter and then she complained about Drew the entire time or her hair. It was such drama. I kept getting up too. Usually i might get up once when i sit down or not at all, but i think i got up like 5 times to go the bathroom or the concession or somewhere else. I wasnt really focused on the game.

Well we went to the concession and got a drink and I saw Stephanie from my trip working! I was so surprised! She said she works there for the football games or volunteers, either one. But she said hi and we talked for a minute. Shes so nice. I miss everyone on the trip. Well me and Jillian are watiting on Ashley to buy something over the side, and lo and behold I turn around and see Robby walk by with a few friends. I knew it was him b/c i saw the side of his face and his hair is unmistakable. My heart dropped into my stomach. Well then we go and sit back down and say about 15 or 20 minutes later, for some reason Ashley and Jillian were talking about guys and of course, who does ashley decide to comment on? If you guessed Robby, your a winner! Ashley said something about him and i wasnt in the conversation so i tried to ignore it and she taps me on the shoulder and was like, did u see Robby? He looked so good. I kind of just sat there and made a face and looked away. She was like, oh your over that arent u? It was like 2 years ago wasnt it? I could of died right then and there. In those next five minutes, it took all I had not to cry. I sat there and looked away and made sure nothing came out of my eyes b/c otherwise everyone would have been like, whats wrong? I could have killed Ashley for saying that. She always does that. When I was trying to get over him like last year, I remember she was saying there were not hott guys at school and how she wouldnt date any of them except Robby. "He's the hottest guy at our school." Right to my face. I was like, do u not care that your stomping on my stomach right now? I knew that I would have to hold myself back tonight cause i knew he would probably be there. I'll admit it, I wanted him there, but then again I knew how awful I would feel once i saw him. I know how bad he is and thats one reason i hate him. I dont know. I wish i could get over him. And im pretty sure i do not like the other person i thought i did. That was nothing as usual. It was one of those 3 day things again that i always have. I wish i didnt have those, cause they trick me into thinking theres something there when theres not.

I saw Adam with alot of graduates, and i saw them leave together and i think he was with them...

I will now be enjoying football games, contemporary issues and government a whole lot more. And Christin already knew before i told her, isnt that creepy? Im just a dork.

Football

Well we won the football game friday 40 to 14 vs. Howard. It was the biggest hassel ever just to see the game too. It poured insanely hard the entire way there, we could barely see and we get there and they have to decide whether there gonna play or not and if it stops lightning we can play but we have to wait till 8 for them to make a decision. So me and my dad sit in the car for about 45 minutes waiting. So finally they say we can play and we go and try to get in with the entire crowd but first we have to buy tickets. But then they wont sale tickets until everyone is outside the gate. And then they decide that where theyre suppose to sale tickets wont work b/c then all of the people will have to go through the crowd to get to the stadium. So me and my dad were in the back of the line, which then turned to the front and then back to the end. So then they decide to make 2 lines, one for those who have exact change and then one for those who need change. So they start playing the game before half the crowd is inside watching. It was interesting. Not many people were there so i sat with my dad and then Shelly and Jamie sat in front of us and then about half way through Shelly turned around and said hey and said i could sit with them. She said she didnt see me when they sat down. Well let's just say the game was worthless b/c we killed them. Oh yeah so me and my dad leave 3 minutes early and we go home on the interstate and theres a wreck! So its 11 and were at a dead stop. So we didnt get home till about 12. Oh yeah and did i mention that they had some kind of cannon thing at the game and everytime something good happened for Howard, they shot it off? Well they did it at the very beginning of the game before anyone sat down and everyone screamed. I thought i was gonna get shot.

Kimi had her birthday party last night. It was fun. We went to Smokey Bones and then saw the Stepford Wives, which was odd. But me, Claire, Jillian, Nicole, Megan H, her sister and her parents were there. Oh and Jillian told me they have a Legolas throw at Hot Topic, which i have already told my mom to go and buy now and give it to me for Christmas. I want that they to take to Disney. Then I can be wrapped up in Legolas! HAHA!

Well this has never happened to me ever in the history of school, but im already tired of it. I do thank the Lord that this is our last year. I am ready for college. I need 2 or 3 classes a day that last only one semester. And when i live on campus, i can walk to class instead of driving 30 minutes away. Oh that will be nice and then i wont be in the house anymore. I never realized how office aid was so valuable to me. I dont have it anymore and im sad about that cause i would NEVER have homework unless i had to study for something. But then again i did have biology 2 last period, thats office aid in and of itself. I knew i should have waited to take it this year. Our first football game is friday! YAY! Im so excited! There not as fun as when there at home but its still a game. It keeps me going to think i have a game to go to on friday night, so thats good. And once footballs over, i have graduation to look forward to. Oh well. Enough school.

Onto the Olympics! Ok I absolutely am obsessed with the Olympics. I know i loved the 2000 games in 8th grade, but i was always mad that they came on when school started cause i couldnt watch them non stop like i would if i were on break. I do know one thing though, Michael Phelps is a fine piece of ass. Woo that boy is fine. Hes only 19 too. And Amber told me hes from Tennessee!!!!! Well i think he might have been born here and then was raised in Maryland cause it says hes from there. But i dunno. Theres some connection to the south so thats great. Im just waiting on him to kick some Ian Thorpe ass. He better. Thorpe beat him by like a millisecond the other night i was so mad. But anyway yall better cheer for him!

First Day of School!

Well today was the first day of my last days. Well of course it rained. So much for making my car look spotless. But anyway i got to school and i got my spot and i was about to walk over to Kenzie's car and give her her pins i got her and then I see Megan G come screaming over to me lol. So i ran over to her and hugged her and told her i loved her hair cause she had blonde highlights that looked great on her. She looked really pretty. She was so brown too! But anyway then Tiffany runs at me and and jumps on me lol. She looked great too. I have physics with her too! YAY! Another year of science! So Kenzie is on her crutches so that was fun. And when we were going in, Megan left her keys in the ignition cause she said she jumped out when she saw me lol. It made me feel special. So we all go in and i was sweating to death cause it was so hot upstairs. And i opened my locker, which is a bottom one dagnabit. I started out with one freshman year and now i have as im leaving. Its poo poo i tell u.

Well theres 5 girls in my 1st period Bible class. Me, Christin, who is leaving, Megan W, Valerie, a junior girl and me. All seniors except for the new girl. I was in the back corner cause we have a seating arrangement for a few weeks, and when class started Coach Brown started talking and he looked in my direction and goes "Oh hey Cortney! How ya doing?" It was so funny. I missed him and his class, i loved it last year.

So i sprinted down to English, which is in Mrs Gregg's old room this year. We actually do have our test tomorrow over all 4 summer reading books. Im so excited..cant u tell? Well we got the syllabus and im terrified already. Enough said.

3rd period was Contemporary Issues with Mrs Hood! YAY! I was so excited to be in there and im in the same seat i sat in last year for APUSH. And I have Seth in that class and we laughed the entire time. Its gonna be so funny. Its CNN in a class, i love it.

So then i raced down to Art 1, where im the only senior. Joy.

I went back to the H/S and went to Pre Cal, where there are 25 people in that class. Its gonna be so much fun. Its my entire Algebra 1 class again. Its me, Megan and Megan, Jillian, Lacie and Kenzie. Its gonna be so funny cause we have Chris Paine in there and and whats his first name Walling. I just forgot and i had Bible with him last year.

Then back over to Mrs Hood for Government. Which is basically half of my Contemporary Issues class again. Im also in the same seat. And i also found out that Matt Cline, Tara, Emmy and Roper were the only ones that passed the AP exam with a 3. Oh yeah and this class there will be no work done b/c i have Seth, Jim Stone, Kris Kimsey and some other fool.

Then back over to the MS for physics. Tiffany is in there with me and i got all excited and we decided to go say hello to Coach Johnston cause that was our wonderful 7th period last year and we just knew that he had missed us. So we waltzed on in and just stood there and I go Hey Coach! And Tiffany goes, did u miss us? He just looked at us and was like yeah... I was like he's lying. He has a beard! I dont like it at all! He looked better with the sideburns. But anyway there are so many people in my physics class that there arent enough desks, so myself and 2 other people get to sit at 3 different back lab tables on stools. That class is gonna be so slow espeically since its the last one of the day. Tres is in there too..wonderful.

Its also gonna be alot of fun walking through all of the middle schoolers to get downstairs and go through them again since there waiting on their parents and then over the sidewalk and through the hs to the senior lot EVERYDAY. Im so excited.

I also have Contemporary Issue homework due next week and tomorrow and Government due next week! YAY!

Oh the new homework rule is just dandy.

well i had a lovely day i must say. So about my infection... I decided not to go to registration b/c my mom was working there and all i had to do was get my papers and take a pic for my id, which i could do later. So instead i went back to my beautiful surgeon. I had to get there before 12 cause they eat lunch then until 2 or so and they close sometime after that, i dunno, i just know i had to be there before 12 so they could fit me in. So my mom called a friend that works there and she asked if i could go by myself even though im 17 and of course she knew the answer would be no since im not 18, but lo and behold i can go alone! So i get there at 9 and 5 minutes later they fit me in. I sit down and my doctor walks in, woo and he was wearing blue scrubs, let me tell u how they make his gorgeous eyes just pop. And hes blonde, so he has real fair skin which makes them pop even more. Woah, i had to stop staring at him. But anyway so i lay in the chair and he breaks out the syringe that he gave me. He feels it with mouth wash and puts it DIRECTLY IN THE HOLE. I could have cried. It hurt like poo on a monday. I had to grip my jeans real tight so i wouldnt cry. OH THE PAIN! Well it started to bleed so he put some gauze in there. He gave me a prescription for an antibiotic too. He said if it wasnt better in 3 or 4 days, come back. He patted me on the shoulder too when it was all over. That made me feel better.

But heres my schedule:
1 - World Religions
2 - AP English
3- Contemporary issues/ Journalism - Yearbook
4- Art 1
5- Pre Cal
6- Government/Economics
7- Conceptual Physics

Oh yeah i also got my senior pics back today. Over all i dont like them. The only ones i like are the ones of me in the drape, those are all really good. But the other ones, i look so fat in, its not even funny. I also got one pic taken outside for extra money and it wasnt in the set, so were gonna have to ask about that one. But anyway im outtie! Bye!

Well i have wonderful news. I've had a headache everyday this week for no apparent reason and then i woke up yesterday morning and my left jaw was somewhat swollen and it hurt to open my mouth up. So i go throughout the day and i start my period and get a headache that becomes AWFUL. So i felt real good last night. And i wake up and my mouth is even more swollen and hurts even more! yay me! So my mom called the lady that we know that works at the oral surgery center and she said it was infected, yay. So i get to suffer this entire weekend and then go tomorrow to see my surgeon. Which is actually a good thing cause i didnt have to go back originally and i thought i would for a check up, but no, so i was bummed cause i wanted to see him again cause hes gorgeous. So now i have my excuse to go, but its painful. Ay yie yie.

I know I havent done a real update in a while, so i guess i finally will. I dont really have a reason not to other than that im too lazy to write lol. So I guess i'll write about getting my wisdom teeth out. It was ok. Not too bad. I just remember this time that the gas they gave me was not as much fun as last time. I think last time i was out quicker and it was more fun, but this time it took a few minutes. It was more like i was about to pass out than go to sleep. Everything got real slow and everything felt really heavy to move. And i was awake and could hear them talking but i had my eyes closed and it just seemed to take a while. Towards the end they were starting to put the IV in my hand and i was like "oohhh...u might have a hard time finding a vein b/c my hands are always cold." And i think the lady was like yeah or something and i think i was gone after that. But the freaky thing is that i woke up in the middle of surgery! I was like whats going on, and i started to moan cause i remember he had utensils and all in my mouth and they go, ok Cortney breathe deep for me sweetie and then i was gone again. And so when it was over they took me into recovery and i think everyone else in there was a kid and they had their teeth out too cause everyone had big cheeks stuffed with gauze. And when i finally woke up, i had been crying for some reason. I mean i was in a little bit of pain but not much. It was more like a throbbing, so there was no reason for me to cry over that. I think it was b/c i was reacting to the anesethesia. Like my chest was going up and down real fast and i had tears running down the sides of my face and then i stopped and was like, why am i crying? Who knows. I didnt do that last time. Oh well. But i went home and went straight to bed and slept a few hours, woke up and changed gauze, back to sleep. I slept most of the day. I was eating pudding too. I was starving by the next day for whole food but i couldnt eat it. I can eat whatever now. The only problem is that damn syringe. I have to use it after everytime i eat. Its such a pain. But other than that im fine.

I know that was boring. Hmm... what else can i talk about?

Oh! My mom had to go yesterday for the first full day of school for the teachers. It was the inservice where they all come and eat and have a speaker. Well there was a rumor that Coach Helton resigned, which i was giddy about, but too late, he was there. Poo poo. But Im gonna have Mrs Brandt for Art 1, Mrs Fischer is gonna teach Elementary. Thats poo poo too cause i wanted Mrs Fischer! And then the best news of all is that Mrs Roland is gonna teach AP English AND Mrs RIchardson is gonna sit in on class 3 days a week!!!!! YAY! It should be fun! Ok now, is anyone going to that class party, where they command us to bring food and what else? MONEY! There always in a our pockets for something and of course this time its for Disney already. Haha my dad was real happy. He knows that everytime he turned around there was always something new to buy for Adam his senior year. Senior expenses are poo poo.

Has it dawned on anyone yet that were gonna be in school in 8 days? Were also gonna be bling bling seniors baby! Hell yeah!

OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN LISTEN TO 7 NEW BSB SONGS ON MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

LAUREN GO TO DLSONLINE.NET AND THEY GIVE U NUMBERS TO CALL!!!!!!!

GO HERE TO HEAR A NEW BSB SONG!!! it plays it as the background song.

howdy guys! im pretty sure i havent updated in a month or more b/c my computer has been dead. We were getting it fixed and i got it back today! YAY! And im pretty sure the last thing i was gonna write about was Biltmore but i cant remember. But that was fun. Kinda boring though. I did get one of those brownies Chris told me to get though and they were heaven. Not much to say.

Oh yeah and yesterday was Class Day. We walked into "Quiet Courage" which no one knew what it was and we walked out to Pirates of the Caribbean. I was not happy about that. I love the music but that was last years song and i wanted my own. We all looked so pretty. I only cried during the poem, that was sad. Oh yeah and today i wore 2 different tennis shoes and didnt know it till someone told me at school lol. That was pretty funny. Oh and Jr/Sr was last friday. It was fun other than my dress being so big i couldnt drive with it. Man it was HUGE. I'll make sure to write more on that later and on Class Day. Oh yeah and i got a job at St. Johns Methodist Day Care that i love. The lady that runs it is Mrs. Aldridge, Becky's mom. She sits in front of us at church and she gave me a job. And 2 of the girls that work there live in my neighborhood and i didnt even know it. I'll write more later.

Not much has happened lately. Not much to update on. I dont know about my living situation at UTC yet. Im still trying to con Ashley into living with me in an apartment there with other people. Apparently freshman usually have to have 4 people, upperclassmen get first pick. But there is a freshman building at UTC place though...

Um..were pretty sure our invitations came into to school yesterday. We thought it was cap and gowns but mrs hood said those dont come until april.

Oh yeah and Mrs Parrot said Career Day is coming up and if we had suggestions for professions, to tell her. So i grabbed her today after chapel and told her i wanted a politician to come or a political figure. Yeeeeahhh. Yeah and i'd love to know why it is the week of attacks on me about my pin. I mean obviously i get drilled daily, but it seems like its more this week for some reason. Its that or i've just actually listened to these people more than usual. Yeah and i'm pretty sure me and Tara were about to argue about Bush today in Economics. We were taking a quiz and i wasnt done yet. For whatever reason she decided to come over and sit in front of me and talk full speaking voice to Seth diagonal from her, so basically she was bothering me. And then Chris P decided to spark some controversy and bother me. The she we started arguing about the war and Chris had no points about it obviously and then Tara was like, i better move before i get mad and i was like yeah i didnt invite u over here in the first place did i? And yeah im pretty sure i heard her say she was majoring in political science the other day. Thats wonderful. Now i know what republican competition i'll have when i run for an office in this state.

Off campus lunch!

We had our first off campus lunch today. Me and Ashley were suppose to go to Sonic, but there was stuff that happened with rides so she ended up not going with me. So i went to Sonic alone. It was good too. Mrs Brandt let me leave a few minutes early to the HS and i was the first to sign out and get to my car and leave. I drove so fast. I went to the Sonic on 58 and i timed myself. I got there in 7 minutes. I was so proud. And amazingly, there werre only 3 cars there. So i ordered quick cause it usually takes them forever, but i got my food in 5 minutes. It was great. I had like 30 minutes to kill too.

Oh yeah i had to use the bathroom soo bad, i left my car at Sonic and walked 20 ft away to Backyard Burgers and used the bathroom and left lol. Then my mom told me that there was one at Sonic that i forgot about. But anyway i hope Mrs. Brandt lets me go early every week. That rocked.
