Blame it on the girls

Oy, I have been having a relatively good time since the last post. First tri is half over, and I currently have a C in APUSH and a C+ in English, and then an A in Algebra II and an A- in German III. Pretty good, eh?
This weekend was lots of fun, and incredibly eventful. Friday was homecoming, which was great, Alex and I danced our asses off. Coincidentally I didn't want to move for a couple of days when I got home. Saturday Hank, Jamie, and I all went to Alex's to help paint her room, which didn't happen but good job to Jamie for taping the stuff. Then we created a family of ourselves on Sims 3. That was interesting, and after that Jamie had to go home, but the rest of us went to see Jennifer's Body.
At our theaters they have recently started enforcing the ID rule, where you have to be 17 to buy tickets for an R-rated film. Well the only photo ID I have is my passport from 5 years ago, and I brought it anyway since I'm the only 17 year old out of my friends. And they didn't even check the ID's! It was a bit of a relief I guess but I was mad that the one time I brought an ID they didn't ask.. I guess they thought that if we were going to a 10 PM film, you're older.
So I loved Jennifer's Body. Diablo Cody is one of the few writers that I know of and love. (She wrote Juno.) The snappy dialogue was there, though some of it was kind of obscure so it was hard to understand. Megan Fox hasn't improved in her acting since Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Amanda Seyfried was really good. This made up for her doing Mamma Mia. There were some confusing bits, and some parts didn't need to be in the movie, but I really thought it was a great film. It was little different than I though it would be, it wasn't as funny as it was portrayed in the trailers, and just a lot weirder. The music was freaking awesome, and the pool scene was crazy. I wish my town had a pool like that. GO SEE THE FILM!
I am now on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, which is turning out really well. I think if I have time to read, I could finish it by the end of this week. I am also becoming a little obsessed with the series. I keep thinking about things randomly from the books and if I read before bed then I have dreams about it, which isn't entirely uncommon. I love Fred and George even more in the books than the movies.
I'm growing out my hair. It's now at the point where I can't put it up, but if I leave it down it looks really weird. So I've had to french braid it so it will be curly and not weirdly straight. I've also been listening to a lot of the artists on the New Moon soundtrack, and I recommend you do the same. They're great. And Mika, he is wonderful. Not one bad track on his sophomore album. And he's English.

I do believe that's about it. I'm bumpin to Allein Allein right now. I think I'm doing alright.

HIGH SCHOOL is such a drag

So far this week has been relatively good.
Friday I went to the North-South game, South lost and when North stormed the field alex and I went with them. Saturday I babysat Ava at the mall and it also was Ava's Party, as well as Jenna's. Both were really fun, despite the lack of sleep. The latter did have a bit o drama, but then again when you put that many freshman into such a small space... Sunday Zan came to church with me again (WOOO), and then Hank, T, and some of T's friends went out with my church group on a pontoon. I went four hours in the sun and managed not to get a sunburn (by using SPF 70), but I also hardly got any freckles.
Monday I learned that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were ISTEP testing days, and that none of my classes were allowed to move on, with the exception of English. I also got the things I ordered from E.LF. to replace the stuff T lost. And all the brushes ad makeup work pretty well thus far. Tomorrow will be another BS day, and I have yet to persuade my mother that there is no need to go to school for the first two periods because I'm not doing anything.
This weekend T is having her volleyball teammates over for a slumber party. My parents want me to stay home and keep them in check. The same evening, my sophomore-in-college friend Megan has invited me to go with her to an eighties themed party. Which one would you choose?

Despite being constantly tired, I guess everything is going alright. I really can't wait until second tri, when I have some better classes (like Drawing II).

that's it for now, homiez.
