Still Adrift

Speaking.

October 31, 2001

Wow..it's been almost a week since i blogged. Well, if you talk to me regularly, then you know there is nothing going on..heh.
I woke up this morning, like I do every morning, and i felt so weird. Ever had one of those dreams where something happens and when you wake up it feels like it really happened?? well, that's what happened to me this morning..when I woke up (at 11:30am..heh heh), i felt so bad, cause in one of my dreams i hurt someone's feelings. so when i woke up i felt like crap..lol. i know it really didn't happen, but it sure feels like it did.

Oh yeah, happy halloween everyone! : ) This holiday doesn't mean that much to me anymore, but I know to some people it does. Brian got me thinking about all of my halloween's in the past. Heh..I remember one time i was out trick or treating and I went to this door and there were other kids up there too, well a lady answered the door and she invited the kids in, so i thought I'd go in too..well, turns out she knew the kids and that's why she invited them in..lol. i got inside and i heard people say, 'who's that girl?' Ultimately, the lady kicked me out and gave me 2 pennies instead of candy..lol. i feel stupid even to this day. ; ) It's just gonna be my mom and I home tonight, and we're not gonna hand out candy this year. my mom just doesn't feel like it. though the kids in our neighborhood are brats, so they probably don't deserve candy..lol : Þ

Tonight is also when 311 is playing at Universal Studios. *sigh* I wanna go so bad I can taste it... Hmm...I wonder if Curt's going? Anyways, I also saw their new video last night! wooooo!!!! hehe. it's pretty cool, a little different than their other videos but good. Nick looked good.. ha ha. : )

"This too shall pass." ~311 and probably a few other sources.

Mmmmmmm Chocolate Dreams.....

Hmm..well, found out that not doing a report in my Music Appreciation class, has seemed to drop my grade to 57%. I knew my grade would go down, but not like 1-2 grades...unless I am not understanding the teacher's grading system *shrugs* I don't know. But either way I probably made a dumb move by not doing that report.
I got a 80-something% on my Government midterm, and some how my grade managed to fall from an a to a b. I did get an 87% on my Geography test, which I am so proud of, cause I really studied and I have a b in that class, so I guess 2 out of my 3 classes aren't bad. : )

Ya know, I'm watching Emergency Vets on Animal Planet and this show makes me cry. It's sad cause like people bring in their pets and sometimes they need to be put to sleep and the owner's crying and then I'm crying, cause I've had to do that too many times...yet, I still watch it. I don't get it. ; )

This was supposed to be posted last night (10/17) but it didn't post..so here ya go. ; )

I am feeling pretty good tonight. I spent most of my day working on 2 essays for my Geography class...there's a test tomorrow and these were take home essays for the test. The questions were kind of tough, but I am proud of myself, I feel I worked hard and really thought about the answers, I just hope the teacher doesn't think i'm trying to BS, cause for once, I'm actually not. ; ). I also think doing these essays helped me for the test too. I really want to do well on this one. I still need to study for Government, but I am not too worried about that one. I have an a in that class right now, so I have a little cushion there. : )

Today, I also went to the IRS and got some application forms...me working for the Government, who would have thunk it?? : Þ. It's not that I necessarily want to work there, but I figured I'd try. Though, they are not hiring until Dec. or Jan...I was hoping to get a job now, but we'll see what happens. I have testing on Nov. 3rd, which will take 4-5 hours. Not looking forward to that.

Yesterday I went to the orthodontist. Turns out I have TMJ, which I figured I did. I'm going to have to wear a splint to help w/the disc in my jaw. And until I get my splint, and probably for sometime after that, I am on a soft diet, which means no chewing. : (. Though, there is a good side to that..maybe I can lose some weight..heh heh. I have to wait to get the splint when my parents can come up the half the the splint cost, which is $300, so it might take a few weeks.

*yawns* I'm tired...

October 15, 2001

My last post was kinda deep..heh..must have been one of those philosophical nights. ; )

I do not want to go to school tomorrow. I really don't. My Government teacher isn't going to be there, so we don't have class, but the thing that sucks is that it is my middle class...and I need to go to my first class, and I should go to my last class, so yeah..I'm gonna have an hour and 1/2 of nothing to do. I also have a small report due in my music class tomorrow which i did not do..'oops! my bad!' : Þ. It's a concert report, and I didn't go to a concert...so i am out 65 pts. but i honestly don't care. my attitude towards school is already getting bad. Oh and i'm not looking foward to thursday....i have a midterm and a geography test one right after the other.. : (. I'm gonna have to study my butt off. *sigh*. someone remind me again, 'why am i going to school??'

I've been really intrigued with this one movie lately. It's called Beautiful Thing. It is really a good movie. It's about 2 teenage boys, who live next door to eachother, that fall in love. I guess I am kinda intrigued by the movie subject itself and the actors in it. (one is really cute.. ; ) heh heh). It is a British movie, so I have trouble understanding some of the dialogue and I don't understand some of the humor..I even tried putting the close captioning on and that didn't work, but it's a good, sweet movie none the less. (I Love the ending scene.) I definitely recommend it...it is a 'clean' movie..no love scenes and what not. But if you can't handle seeing 2 guys making out for a few seconds, I wouldn't watch it. : )

You know, I heard part of Bush's speech last night on TV. He says for America to be under alert, cause an attack could come in the next few days. Man, this stuff is scary. It really is. Just knowing that it could come anytime, anywhere. Another thing I don't understand is why the Taliban is so upset with America for bombing them and stuff. I think Brian has mentioned this...how can the Taliban be so upset for us bombing them?? What did they expect after they killed thousands of innocent people here?? Sure, there may be some innocent people getting killed in Afghanistan from us bombing, but we are not intentionally killing them. How do they have the nerve to be upset with us after all they've done...blah..I think it's bs. Just a warning, I don't know THAT much info about this, but this is what I picked up on..so if I sound silly/dumb you know why. ; ) Oh and this anthrax thing...man, this stuff is freaking me out..

Okay...I just wrote this blog and when I went to post, Blogger conviently told me I wasn't logged on..so now I have to retype everything...grrr.

Went to the dentist again yesterday, which was another pointless trip. Turns out the reason they wanted me to come back after my jaw unlocked was for x-rays of my teeth and not my jaw. So I made a trip over there for nothing. But, of course, being the wonderful office that they are, they didn't tell me that. Now I am just waiting until next Tues. to see the oral surgeon. Man, those people are expensive...$100 just for the consultation...*shakes head* I need insurance.

Welcome back Claire!! I was wondering what happened to ya. ; ) Glad to hear everything is going well. : )
And I want to say get well to Brian. Feel better soon dear. : )

Happy Birthday John Lennon.

October 05, 2001

I am happy...my jaw is unlocked now. : ) It did it on it's own last night, strangely enough. So, I am going to skip going to the oral surgeon and just go back to the dentist and see what needs to be done to get this fixed.

October 03, 2001

So did anybody see that John Lennon tribute thingy last night??? It was so good! I figured it would be good, but not as good as it was. It was awesome..John Lennon was the man. I thought it would have been kinda cool to see the other former Beatles on there, but oh well. It was still a great show.

October 02, 2001

Update on the 'jaw' situation: I can not get into the oral surgeon until Oct. 16th, which is 2 weeks away from today. GRRRRR. That means for 2 weeks I have to deal w/ this crap...oh and I get to take pills and use warm compresses and eat a soft diet. Blah..

I'm kinda peeved today..mainly cause of my jaw, but I am also frustrated because I spent almost an hour and a half in Geography, and did I understand one thing the teaher said!?!? NO!!. So now I am lost in the class and I hate when I get lost cause I feel like i have no control and it just bugs me...*sigh*

I need a hug...

Went to the dentist today..which was a waste of time. The girl couldn't even open my mouth wide enough so she could x-ray it. : ( So *now* I have to go to an oral surgeon(sp) so they can un-lock my jaw...and then go back to the dentist so they can do x-rays and examine my mouth. *sigh* I just want this over with..it's in a pain in the ass...excuse my french :-\
