the bright side of ugly

today in health we were speeding up through our last drug unit so we can go into p.e. for the last week of school (boo) so after finishing the last 2 birth control presentations (a wonder bra that stops ovulation and a sponge that has spermicide in it) ms smith popped in this movie 'the truth about drugs' (we also watched 'the truth about sex' during the sex unit) and there was this kid who overdosed on some drug and he went into a coma and when he came out of the coma he was blind and deaf and immobile. he was in this nursing home place learning to walk and talk and function again and he was getting out of his wheelchair and ms smith says "practically brain dead" in her deep southern accent. needless to say pretty funny. went to the doctor today and i had 4 shots and bloodwork done and so my arms are pretty tired (from having harmful chemicals injected into them even id they covered it up with 2 pretty-sparkly band-aids...) so im not going to type anymore but instead will help my mommy make chicken ceasar salad for the girl scout potluck thing tonight.

1. faking sick
caught a ride home with rebecca yesterday because my mom was with my sisters girl scout troop who was bowling for the afternoon. we were in the car and her brother abe (he's 7) was there too. rebecca was talking about school and he was like i didnt go to school today. turns out he faked sick (or was only like a little sick and faked be a lot sick... dont really know) and her dad bought it and took him to work with him! rebecca said that he was like "must play video games, only video games can save me" in the morning while he was sposed to be eating breakfast. i totally wish norah did cute stuff like that. i swear the two of us (or at least me...) have always been scared to like fake sick. the only time i've ever done it was once when like my ears were really bothering me and i had a head and stomach hurt and i had half a fever and the nurse was like wanna call ur mom and i could've stayed at school but i didnt but i was half sick so maybe that doesnt count? i only missed 2 periods and lunch so not so bad right? whatever. still thought it was cute
2. these boys in my math class had a fistfight. we were having a free day because of eogs and they were playing uno or something and someone got hit and their mother insulted i think and the next thing one kid was like pushing the other and then the pushed kid started like beating down on the pushers head like die die die. i think they got like 2 day iss or 2 day suspension but it was like the first time anyones ever had like a fight in class... i saw some funky seventh graders beating it out in the hall one time between classes but the principal was right there and she like pulled them apart. ms crocker was kinda pissed she was like " this has never happened in all my 5 years of teaching" which i guess is a pretty long time to teach but not like "i havent ever seen this with 50 years of experience." but she sent them right outside she was like "out out of my classroom right now" and they went straight to cougar pause. culbreth is supposed to have like a 0 tolerence policy for fights but obviously not cuz they didnt get expelled but w/e
3. the second coming of a robotic jesus
we're writing scifi stories in l.a. as like our final grade because ms hall doesnt wanna give us a final and we were talking about charactaristics of a scifi story. each group had to write down some and then share with the class. we were going around and my group was like "advanced technology" or something and other groups were like "time travel" and the last group was like joey and dylans group and i think to be funny (i think so) were like laser condoms (funny) and the second coming of jesus (think they meant this funny too but not sure... im just like paranoid about like people that try to convert others and stuff they were probly trying to be funny but you never know i dont know w/e) and ms hall was like "no boys, when one begins to talk about religous issues like the second coming of jesus it becomes theistic not science fiction" and they were like "but ms hall... what if jesus was a robot? what if it was the second coming of a robotic jesus, would it be a science fiction story then?" and i thought that was pretty funny hahahahaha only really not so poop a little amusing though...

ms smith (my lovely health/p.e. teacher for the culbrethly challenged...) was in uber-psyco-bitch mode today. we were working on these dumb projects where you make up a form of birth control and have to spend a measly 4 million dollar budget and then present to the class. my group is doing a funky pill thing that increases acidity in vagina and kills all sperm but other groups are slightly more creative: includes cassie's group: bob boxers that heat up and kill all sperm. rebeccas group who is making a mitten to kill all sperm (? itchy??) and my favorite the anonymous sex-hat group (lol) anyway so we're not actually supposed to learn anything with this project because when rebecca asked ms smith if she could go to the library and see how long it takes for sperm to form so she could figure out how long one would need to wear the mitten before intercourse and the lovely "miz smifff" (she refers to herself that way because she lives in alternate dimension and thinks its cool which its not because she is a teacher and should know correct grammar lol) told her "baby this is your project, you dont need to look anything up baby you make it up make it up MAKE IT UP BABY" (waving motion rebecca to table with waiting group mates. whatever but today she was being extra-psyco-bitchy and she made this girl in my class cry because she was reading a book. ms smith made very clear that each group member did their part so after doing her part of writing the paper (i think maybe) she was letting the other group mates do their part of making and designing poster. ms smith got very angry and she got really upset. its ok though shes not weird because ms smith made me cry once too... i was talking to her about my grade and she was like you can bring it up to an a baby just try harder ok baby (repeat about 10 times and you'll feel bad too lol) and then she was like getting in on me about how "if anything is going on you know you could tell ms smith right baby, right" and i was like sure because nothing is going on (in her brain too lol...) then in l.a. we were talking about freedom of speech and turns out that there is a clause/loophold... minors dont have freedom of speech and first i was like grr but then i sat back and was like well doesnt really affect me because i dont like to wear bear hats or cigarette/pot tshirts so all is cool (but not for the funky boy who wrote the essay we were reading because he thought smoking was extra cool and so obviously smokes and has submitted himself to a life of trachiotomies and lung cancer and lets not forget emphysima but his choise his fault) stopping boring the reader (if any) right now because dinners done and my fingers are tired...

hee hee hee... the calculator active eog is tomorrow and i haven't studied but thats ok because the teachers say all you need is a good breakfast and a full nights rest. whatever but im not so stressed about the tests this year. we didnt even really review a lot in class... a week for math and a week and a half for l.a. and its the last year that i will ever have to take one (horay) and yet this fact is overshadowed by the fact that next year we'll be taking eoc's which are like a billion times harder. the algerbra eoc is 80 (maybe 70...)questions in 90 (or maybe 100...) minutes which is like one minute and a couple seconds for each problem which is long and wordy with an equation at the end. ms crocker said not even to read the problem... just find the numbers and dont even work it out just punch it into the calculator. she says that none of her students ever finish either. mason took it last year and he said he guessed the last 20 questions. one needs an 85 to pass but on the practice test ms crocker said she would be amazed if anyone scored an 80. needless to say many people scored below the mark as expected (by ms crocker) i am way scared of failing because that would be really bad because i would have to take it again and maybe go to summer school or back into algerbra again next year which would totally suck a lot to repeat a whole year of math. whatever just so long as i get a big breakfast (but not too big because then i will be sick) and a full nights rest (but not too full because if i were to get my full nights sleep i would sleep in untill 10 or 11 am and totally miss the test...) should be (fairly ok). going to eat raspberry sherbert now because it is really good lol...

saw hitchhikers guide to the galaxy yesterday. it was ok but the best part was at the begining when the dolphins sing this lovely song **so long and thanks for all the fish** heehee that was funny. the movie could've totally done without the romance bit in the middle though. the scientists guys were like what is the meaning of life and arthur (aka main character) went on and on and on about love and finding "the one" and how it was the hardest question ever and he finally found the answer but blew it with his one true love (they end up together in the end though... surprise surprise). it was a scifi movie not a romance and so they shoukd've kept it scifi. i think im going to read the book for the scifi project though because it looks okay and the movie people always leave the good stuff out that was in the book lol. its funny... the popcorn at southpoint is fabulous and yet it comes out of a bag. at timberlyne i saw them pop the popcorn but it was really stale and nasty. my mom likes to go to timberlyne because its like onl a few minutes away but whatever. there were like no people in the theater because starwars came out on thursday. starwars totally confuses me. i saw the first one they ever made and i couldn't follow it at all. then saw the fourth one they made and i couldnt understand what the alien guys were saying. that is one thing that george lucas is really bad about... like how are you supposed to follow the long and twisted plot if you cant understand what leader of the big-ugly-green people is saying! yes or no, will he protect anakin skywalker and the queen or not? too confusing. another thing that bothers me about starwars is all the product placement they do. heres a few just off the top of my head: burger king toys, legos, pepsi commericals, pizza commercials, starwars trailers playing on the tv in best buy, i mean george lucas went so far as to go on the o.c.... its everywhere. but at least this is supposed to be the last in the series so mankind is safe from the boring everywhere ads (for now at least)

last night i hd lasagna for dinner. it was really good because (as everyone likes to say) my mom makes the best lasagna except that yesterday i ate the noodles but not the nasty cheese off the top (i hate that part) but my sister did and so my parents were like you can't have another piece until you finish the cheese (i had all of this cheese in like a pile on the side of my plate) and my mom was like even norah ate more than you. and true to her words norahs pile was smaller and i was like grr and so they all finished and got up and left me sitting at the table all by myself picking at the disgusting cheese. it was nasty and by the time i ate it (i was really hungry) it was like cold and extra barfy. but anyway i've got this really funny story about lasagna. i went over to (my friend) amys house and we were having lasagna for dinner. amy always says that her mom makes the best lasagna ever and the recipe came from her grandmother bla bla bla. well so it was pretty good and i asked for the recipe and she emailed it to me. i was making amys lasagna with my mom and i was looking at the back of the lasagna noodle box and its recipe for lasagna was the same as amys (only without the meat)!! i thought it was pretty funny and then i was at school a couple days ago and talking to barbara and somehow we started talking about lasagna and i was like yeah its pretty good and she was like my mom makes the BEST lasagna and then jessica walked up and she was like no MY MOM MAKES THE BEST LASAGNA and so i told them the story about amys lasagna. MORAL: your mom doesnt make the best lasagna... lasagnas just really good. reminds me of these brownies. my mom found this really yummy brownie recipe and i always thought that she got it from like my grandma or something but i was telling her about the lasagna thing when we were making amy/the box's lasagna and she said that she got the recipe of the box of a chocolate chip box!! they changed the recipe though because now it's a different easier (but not as yummy) recipe. thats all for now. think im gonna go eat some lasagna because writing about it has made me hungry...

[i hear you but im not listening ;-)] was our pdj (phrase du jour aka dumb french phrase of the day but was actually pretty cool today... obviously i posted it DUH!!!) in french and it is extra cool (for the french teacher) because we are learning how to talk like this and make commands and stuff and order other people around but YAY because the year is almost over and this is like the last thing we are learning before finals (boo) and then DONE and on to HIGHSCHOOL (and FRENCH2) whoopee. it took this long to finish (finals are NEXT WEEK) because our lovely french teacher felt compelled to teach us around 50 extra past tenses of extra verbs that we didnt even know how to conjugate yet. whatever because we also waste half the class period whenever something exciting happens to mlle (madamoiselle for the frenchedly challanged [miss]). when she got engaged she told us about it and when her brother had a baby and when her other brother had a baby and when she picked out her wedding and bridesmaids dresses AND to top it off yesterday her dress (she calls it her "robe de marriage" to make it french enough lol) came into the shop and she was trying it on for the first time and getting it fitted and stuff. anyway well we all came into class today and (fearing a pop quiz she has been threatning all week) started asking about her dress and how it went and looked and stuff. apparently she had been getting this all day and refused to tell the class anything about the dress (and therefore wasted no time) she said that she knew she was being used and i was like... well even though no time will be wasted today and french is always pretty boring and the french teacher can get off on a venue and go kind of funny sometimes GO FRENCH TEACHER because its really good to realize your being used and stop it even if it means a pop quiz for me (she forgot so its all good)
