Aaaah!!!

Quick post: I'm hiding in a sunken doorway from college kids but I can't see them. Scary! I have like an hour left to do basically nothing but hide.
Just slid down to squat in the corner between door and wall so I remain unseen. SOOOO SCARY!!!!!!

Going into the auditorium now.

See you on the other side!
RJ

On another note, I'm okay with the strange college kids being in our halls.

See- no, type to you later!

Valentines Day Thoughts

Tomorrow is Valentines Day. That means that all the couples at school will be even more lovey-dovey than usual. And all the singletons will be... well, single! Sadly, I will be being single tomorrow. :(

Well, unless someone (is crazy enough to) decides to ask me out. I don't think anyone will (be that crazy all of a sudden), quite frankly! Unless they have a thing for female tuba playing bloggers obsessed with pi. Or, in Greek letters, π!

Yes, I can type Greek on my phone. I have a Greek keyboard!

Anyway, tomorrow I will be all aloney-on-my-owney and, in the midst of all the happy couples, it will not be fun!

You know, I'm hoping that someone suddenly (renounces sanity and) decides to ask me out. It would be nice, not being alone for a change!

Well, I can't think of anything else to say, so...

Bye!
~RJ

Edit: Actually, I have a plan for tomorrow. I myself will renounce sanity and tell the guy I like that I like him. Wish me luck? I know I'll need it!
Hoping I have enough courage,
~RJ
(I'll tell you how it goes once it's done. So expect a post/edit on this post tomorrow.)

Superbowl Stuff

As you may- no, prob- no, as you have to know, the Superbowl is tomorrow. And, if you follow it like Tom does, you know that the 49ers(is that how you spell it? Or is it 49'ers, or 49er's?) are playing the Ravens.

And if you didn't know that the Superbowl is tomorrow, how are you reading this?
Eh, that's not my problem. How you read my blog is your own problem!

So, I know at least one person who's rooting for the 49'ers, but he's from California, so it's kinda to be expected. Personally, I don't care who wins, as long as I get to watch the Puppy Bowl tomorrow.

I say that because my TV is being screwy and I can't get Animal Planet on it, so I'm gonna have to try to find a live-stream of it on my laptop. I read somewhere that there will be a live-stream of the Puppy Bowl somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I'll look for it at about 2:30 tomorrow, since the Puppy Bowl starts at 3:00. I think.

Oh, man, I'm getting bored. Or tired, I'm not sure which. Either way, it's nearly 11:00 pm, so I really should be getting to sleep soon.

Let's make that now.

Bye,

Sporty Thoughts

I am thinking about going out for football next season! I even have a position in mind: kicker.

That's because kickers don't really get tackled, and in a tackle situation, who would win: a 150-200 pound guy, or me, a girl who's all of 125 pounds? That's right, the guy. And, Mom's worried about me getting tackled. With kicker, I get to play football but I don't get tackled! Well, hopefully not.

I'm gonna have to discuss this with Mom, though, so I'll tell you the verdict later.

Happy Birthday!!

Today is ITTBM's third birthday! I'm currently at lunch, standing in line behind a kid who has his iPod turned loud enough that I can hear it from a couple feet behind him!

11:25- I've finished lunch now, and I'm considering buying another milk from the ala carte vending machine under the flat screen tv. I'm gonna check to see if I have enough change for that.
And I do!!

12:34- Done with my computer apps assignment. There's like half an hour left in class. There are a few new kids this semester and one of them is sitting next to me. His name is Charlie and he's a junior. I helped him find the place on the network to save stuff. I feel accomplished!! There are three girls giggling madly not far away from me. They stopped and are now arguing. There are six people with my first name at this school. Charlie is on the computer doing something I don't know of. Because I can't see the screen. Bre is signing out to go somewhere and now I want to go get a drink of water. Sarah just told Korey something and he ignored her completely! Good job Korey!
I'm gonna go ask if I can go get a drink of water now.

12:49- Bre had me listen to a bit of a cover of a Justin Bieber song done by like a rock band or something. Now she's showing me pictures of her with makeup on. She doesn't normally wear makeup and a friend of hers put it on her. Sarah called Demery dumb. Bre is listening to Gangnam Style and Merik would rather marry Sarah than Kendra. But Kendra thinks she's married to Merik. And Sarah is calling Kendra stupid. They're arguing now. Merik is on the other side of the room.

1:07- In Biology now. OMG this class is big! I'm sitting at a smart table!

1:57- Fun biology class activities are fun.

2:28- Vocab is done so I'm havin fun! Kenzie was nice enough to turn my paper in for me. Scuba Steve is in this class and Kenzie claims she's part of a government conspiracy. Alex and Other Ash are playing a game on Alex's phone. Kenzie asked me what day it is and either Other Ash or Alex kicked me accidentally under the table. Kenzie has tic tacs in her pencil bag.

2:49- In homeroom now. I'm bored and boredness is boring. Someone told someone else not to be a ginger and it was weird. Scuba Steve is sitting in front of me. I'm bored. Becca is messing around on her iPod. Ten minutes left in homeroom and 55 minutes left till we leave for the schol bowl meet.

2:59- Six minutes till end of homeroom. So bored! Why do you have to get yearly flu shots? I wonder... Four minutes left... Three minutes... Two minutes... One minute... And there's the bell!

3:07- Climbing the stairs. I hate stairs!! Going to schol bowl.

3:22- Varsity players are talking with Mr. Smith about the Oscars. Mr. Smith went to get a Diet Pepsi and Alyssa came back from getting a drink somewhere. Livy I still discussing the Oscars and Kyle and Rinker came back from getting munchies from the vending machine. I want fooood! Livy is complaining about Clinton Symphony stuff and Rach said her brother is some kind of lobster. Someone gave Alyssa a coffee mug and she used it today. I'm so bored.

3:30- Izzy is quizzing someone on music composers and the quizzee is doing well. Livy is being weird and Rinker is using an iPad. I'm gonna go hang with Mr. Bean for like ten minutes if he's still here.

3:41- Izzy and Livy's mom looks like Hugh Grant and a fat Paul McCartney. Mr. Smith is watching for the bus and now I am.

3:51- Waiting for the bus that isn't here yet but should be. Alyssa wants us to go to Culvers to eat after the meet. The bus is here and I'm holding the door and now walking to the bus.

3:55- On the bus now. Headed for Amboy and we passed by my house. Fun! I love schol bowl meets! We're playing three matches tonight, against Amboy, Riverdale, and Erie, I think.
Today was the first day of the semester and I started all my A day classes. Tomorrow I start my B day classes, which are Geometry, Gym, Spanish, and English. Lunch is between Spanish and English.
I hope we go eat at Culvers after the meet because Culvers is yummy and schol bowling makes me hungry. But I don't have cash, sadly. All I have is a penny in my jacket pocket. The sun is shining on the right side of my head. I hope my ear doesn't get sunburnt.

4:49- At Amboy now setting up our buzzer system. I have my name plate now and we're going to the room soon. Or now, I guess. Playing Amboy first, gotta go!

7:25- We've finished the meet and I played for Fake Kewanee and won two matches but lost one. It was fun being Fake Kewanee. We're sitting around by a statue of Lincoln and its rather boring.
This post is getting pretty long and that's cool.

7:31- I hope we go to eat since I'm hungry. Nom nom noms! Earnest is pacing irritably. I wish to Gibbs-slap him! Smithy isn't here yet and its upsetting me!

7:42- Where in the world is Smithy?! We want Smithy people we want Smithy!

7:54- On the bus. We're going to Culvers, baby! But I have to ask the nice people that aren't Smithy to help me out with food purchases. I hope someone's nice enough to help me out. Help a blogger out please! I'm gonna play solitaire and maybe doze a bit on the way to Rock Falls.

8:50- Rinker was nice enough to help out me and Kyle with buying food. Earnest thinks I'm smarter than Rinker though. Weird, right? Anyway, we're gonna start rolling home soon and this post should conclude soon as well.

Happy birthday ITTBM, and may every subsequent year be as good as the last three have been!

Bye,
~RJ

Countdown to the End of the World

Sorry I haven't posted in like a month, I've been going through some pretty tough stuff lately.
Remember my New Year's post? You don't? Well, go read it! Go on, I'll wait for you to get back.
* * *
Now that you're back, I still deny the whole "End of the World" theory. For one, they found another Mayan calendar at a different site. Yeah, you need to know what to look for, but you're smart, so I think you guys can figure it out!

So, now that I've proven the earlier theories wrong with a link, I'll go into other things.

For one, the band is having a little End-of-the-World party on Friday after our basketball band performance.
More band news: Madrigal brass is over as of last weekend, I actually had dinner with my show this time(another reference to an earlier post), and- oh, that's it I think.

Mom and I tried to make fudge earlier today, but used the wrong recipe and failed not-quite-epically. And spell-check doesn't think epically is a word.

We're going to make toffee later (and by we I mean Mom and me) and I really hope it's delicious, and another attempt at fudge will come tomorrow, as well as cookies and peppermint bark!

Nothing else to say, except Happy Holidays!

Bye,
RJ

Going Through Grief

I might not post for a while, since, as the title says, I'm going through grief at the moment. That's because, at 5:36 this morning, my grandmother died. I was her favorite grandchild, and she meant the world to me. I just wanted you to know that I probably won't post for a while, and I wanted you to know why. ~RJ
