Random Spare with Riss , December 14th 2010

     Okay so we're sitting here on our spare, hence the reason I can write this time of day, and we are both basically doing nothing. Riss , my best friend, is looking up random things on the internet, and me , well I'm here. We've both been up since approximately six thirty this morning thanks to band practice , concert tomorrow and we're all getting a little wound as the holidays draw near. So what do I do about it? I blog of course!

   I've now realized that I truly dislike CALM as a course. It seems completely pointless and does nothing more than waste the students time . I believe that that is the only thing this Career And Life Management course is usefull for. Wasting time. I could've spent this spare taking time to finish assignments early , or to study for my overly large and upcoming test. But no , I had to work on CALM.  Yes, I know what you're thinking here. "If you need to study , then why the hell are you sitting there blogging? " Well I now have fifteen minutes of this spare period left and we all know quite well that 15 minutes is not suffiecient time to get a good amount of studying done.

   But amongst all my "anger like feelings " and pure frustration, *enter the best friend Riss* , is Riss. Riss is just awesome for saving my ass from insanity. When I'm about to check myself into the insanity ward, there is Riss with a can/bottle of coke and a cookie or chocolate , saying " Mack , the last place I really feel like visiting you in is the nutter house...cookie?" Thank God for people like Riss , who take life in such a carefree manner that it rubs off on you and causes you to relax. The type of people who while the rest of the world is freaking out , are wondering if there is any ice cream left in the freezer back home.  Then they start to wonder about chocolate ice cream , they somehow make the connection between chocolate and cookies ( probably because of chocolate chips) and then ask themselves if there are cookies in the cupboard to go with the ice cream . Welcome to the world of my best friend Riss. It's pretty awesome isn't it?

   But with the introduction to Riss , who shall most likely appear quite frequently in this blog, our class is brought to an end. Thus the end of the spare , and with my boredom and frustration of CALM relieved , the rest of the day continues.

   Ah the wonderful creation of Nana's apple pie! Add ice cream to the situation and what could be better? Perhaps whip cream , but I doubt it. It's just one of those things that simply makes your weekend! Well things today are certainly better than yesterday . I managed to sleep in , then Nana had french toast on the go . Talk about an awesome way to kick start the day. Got some shopping done. Then came home and had a huge meal in which I still somewhat feel too big for my jeans over here. Then of course me being the silly one that I am got offered pie and ice cream , and well...I have no resistance apparently giggles. 

  Has anyone ever told those  , " I'm going to drive 50 miles per hour over the speed limit and there's nothing you can do about it " drivers , that well , they suck? So let's see , allow me to set up a situation here : me walking , I stop and wait at a crosswalk , crosswalk light turns to the walk signal and so I do the obvious , I walk. Then the other end of the situation : Dumbass driver going way too fast speeds through crosswalk anyway.  
Me :  Deer in headlights look
Driver : Speeding forward still
Me : Brain finally clicks into oh shit mode
Driver : Decides to whip out cell phone ( <----- seriously here ?! )
Me : Jump approx two and a half feet in the other direction as truck speeds past me

  Have you ever wondered who the hell gives these people their licenses? I mean how hard is it to see 1) a speed limit sign? 2) A 5'3" person going across the street while all the other normal drivers are stopped? I didn't think it was too much of a challenge , but who knows, after all I'm not a driver so I really wouldn't know . 

  But well , it was still a good day over all, finally remembered that the girl I was supposed to be a secret santa for is in love with Starbucks coffee. Got her a gift card , and now I don't need to panic about what to give her anymore. (Thank god because we're exchanging gifts on Monday , good timing brain , love it when you kick in at the last possible minute) Still looking forward to going to the cinema with Morgan tomorrow . I have heard so many things about the new Harry Potter movie (Yes. I have read all the books at least twice and I have seen all the movies at least the same number of times giggles) that I'm really excited about going. I have heard that it is the best one yet! Tomorrow feels like it is going to be wicked!

Friday , December 10th, 2010

     Have you ever had one of those weekends where everything started out like crap? Welcome to my world. I was totally all excited for the weekend , because I could spend tomorrow practicing my saxophone , and then hit the cinema with Morgan on Sunday. But so far that is not how it's looking . I got loaded with weekend homework which , go figure, cuts my practice time into one third of what it was. Nothing today seemed to go right. (*insert mental frustration here if you will*) 

   Why does everyone have to be so judgmental anyway? Who decided that we needed to be criticized and then judged based on whatever people feel like picking on at the time? Is there some world-wide contest going on that I don't know about , and oops guess what you are a participant? I should hope not. But seriously , that was all that happened today , I swear. Physics Class , 1st Period of the day : Well maybe you're not good enough because you're slower at getting the answers than everyone else. Um, excuse me? Do you want to try that one again? Then they give you that condescending look like " well you don't matter anyway , after all you're just one slow student " . Yeah. That always makes you feel oh so great. (Notice any sarcasm yet people? Situations like these are the ones that are just dripping with sarcasm , and aren't they fun?) 

   And oh my god, I have never heard so much talk about gays and femmes in one high school in my life. (For those of you who are going , "what the hell is a femme? " and haven't figured it out, I mean a lesbian . Just femme is a much nicer term that is accepted in common society. The femmes prefer it as well , because it sounds so much nicer than the harsh sounding word lesbian.) I mean so what, they like the same sex. Hello high school students , it's a fairly common, and absolutely normal feeling. But oh my god, what are the students going to do after they are done judging them? Start a national debate about whether is correct or not? Who cares? Seriously here, if that's what makes them happy , leave them alone and let them live their lives. 

   Of course this just had to be the wonderful start to my weekend. Homework and overly judgmental teenagers. Yes , I am a teenager myself , but who am I to judge someone else right? Lord knows I've certainly screwed up enough crap. And who the hell invited the fashion police back into school? I have nothing against fashion whatsoever , in fact some of it is pretty damn awesome , but come on. If you don't like someone's outfit , can't you at least keep it to yourselves? Why pick an argument with that person simply because they wore the wrong shade of red? ( mine as well throw in the cliche phrases too right?) 

  Well I was looking forward to the cinema and seeing a movie with friends while relaxing. But something tells me that I'll be going insane before I get the chance. Perhaps they'll even give me my very own rubber room and a brand new jacket. That could be fun.
