Weekends. I seem to have a love/hate relationship with them. I mean, sometimes I can't wait for them. Normally, when I can't wait for them, the entire week just drags on. And then there's the weeks where...they just go by too fast. So fast, you can't even remember what happened when. Did that make sense? Didn't think so.
I've come to dread Fridays, which were once my favorite day of the week (probs because my dad used to take me to Disneyland on Fridays). I've always hated hellos and goodbyes, I guess. I don't like having to get used to things. I sometimes wish something meaningful would happen before the week was over. But when it is over, nothing really happens.
So, here's what happened:
Monday: 10/11---It's a big huge pit of nothing. But we do receive the confirmation that I get to go to Disneyland two months from that day, part of band. We skip school to go there for free, and don't come back till 8 pm. The catch is that we have to do a concert at Carnation Gardens, but that is no biggie.
I also sign up for NaNoWriMo. Since I'm not yet of age, I sign up for the youth program. I'd been meaning to do it last year, but forgot to sign up, let alone actually write.
Tuesday: 10/12---The band concert. Yes, we actually do a fall concert, because we're awesome like that. It was epic. Well, as epic as band concerts can get, anyways. I tell my parents specifically NOT to come, not because we suck, since we never have and never will, but rather because GWIL (Guy Who I Like, for those of you who don't remember, or read my blog for that matter) is in band and him seeing my parents embarrass me in front of the entire effing school (well, the band members anyways)=trouble. Also to save myself from humiliation, being last chair and all.
It's then that I figure out what I want my NNWM story to be about. It's about me, GWIL, Wannabe, and one of my friends, of course changing their names (well, their last names anyways). I may publish it here when I'm done, if it's even all that good. I decide that my parents can't know about this, because then they would force me to do it. But this is something I am doing on my own, not because anyone else told me to. I start planning it out, and am basically writing the book without, actually, writing the book. You don't get it, do you? Nope, didn't think so.
Friday: 10/15---We pick up Bethany for school, since her parents can't drop her off. We're late to school by a little. It's really cold out, and I'm saying that because this information will be useful to know later.
We take a test on cells in science. I get an extra point and a Jolly Rancher, being the winner of a review game. Not that I know what I got on the test though. It had been an agreement the teacher made with us.
In gym class, we run the mile. It is perfect mile-running weather, so I get my best ever time, which still isn't so great, but at least I know for sure that I passed. I followed Bethany, who always runs it faster than I do. This really makes my day.
Later that night in youth group, there is a guest speaker. His sermon, if you would call it that, was pretty good, though I was very uncomfortable when he brought up sex before marriage. Not because I don't think it's wrong, but rather because "sex" is on my list of Words One Must Never Say In Public. So my friends and I just refer to sex as It. Which is why "Let's do it" sounds sexual to us.
I end up making what could possibly be the biggest discovery of my life; where the youth ministry keeps all of the cup noodles. After being shown where the boiling water is, I eat some. It was really good, because it was cold out and I needed something to warm myself, and RAMEN NOODLES FTW. By far, it's my favorite thing about church.
Saturday: 10/16---There is a youth activity at my church. I don't go, because it's a study function and I don't really have homework (though I later find out that I do). I also discover Flair on Facebook, get addicted, and then lose all my credits (you know, the ones I'd been saving to buy more boards) getting flair buttons. I make some buttons. They all look bad because I'm new to Flair and don't know how to zoom in and out.
TODAY
I got up at 5 AM because my stomach had been hurting and I needed to go to the bathroom. Usually I go back to sleep after going this early, but I don't because I'm a kid on the inside and I knew we'd be going to church today. I get on Flair to go broke getting Glee buttons when all I need is 30 credits for a new board, delete the bad buttons I've made, and replace them with improved versions.
I eat breakfast an hour before the rest of the family does, because my stomach had been grumbling. So I eat, and then it's right back up to my room, where I just hang out for a while.
I'm totally sleep deprived, having gotten up two and a half hours before I normally do. I sleep on the way to church and on the way home. I even dose off for a while during the sermon.
At church today, I eat another thing of cup noodles, because I'd eaten breakfast three hours ago and had already been hungry. The lunch is actually edible. Not just edible, but pretty good. Well, not the part with the cooked lettuce. That looked like puke, so I avoided even going near it.
As soon as I get home, I realize that I have homework that's been left undone, that I totally forgot about. It's the evaluation for the band concert. I'd lost the notes I'd taken in band when we watched the video, so I had to improv. I knew what I'd written, so that's what I put down. I didn't have the exact wording for the questions, not having the original paper. I hope I don't get marked down for it.
And since I'd been using the good computer that can handle online games, I headed to FrontierVille, just to see how good it really was. It wasn't my favorite game, but it at least was addictive. I also played Tetris Friends on FB, since the TF site was down. It reminded me of old times.
