the forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...
Surprisingly, I have a good reason for my absence. I have exams starting Wednesday, and I've been busy studying. I have six exams in three days for two hours each. Joy, right? I spent most of today helping my awesome affie Dani code a site layout. Trust me, you will all adore it. It's just so adorable. Dani is major-talented with art and all and gawsh, she makes me so jealous sometimes! :P
So exams will end on Friday. I'm then spending the entire weekend "celebrating" our leave of middle school. I'm not really happy about that though, because I'm terrified of high school. I've heard horrible things about it. I'll probably be back on this site next Monday or so.
I just hurt my back really bad today, and it hurts so flippin' bad! I can't take any pain at all. I know, I'm pitiful, but I can't take even a little papercut. I'm just pitiful. Anyways, I hope you all don't miss me too much! :D
I have just painstakingly changed my site to PHP format, something that I've been needing to do for a long time. Basically, it just makes it easier to change the layout and edit the site. Ah, the relief. It is unbelievable how long it took my small brain to figure out how to do it.
Referring to the title of this blog, I'm ready for some changes. I'm somewhat tired of my routine life. Upon reading Nicky's May 5th blog, I decided that I completely agree with her. Therefore, from now on, I'm going to try to be a better person as a whole.
I'm going to study harder from now on. I know it's stupid since the year's almost over, but exams are next week! I'm no longer going to chat with friends or fool around on the computer until after I'm done with homework and studying.
I'm also going to try to change the flawed qualities of my personality. I'm going to try to be a better student and pay more attention in class. I'm going to try to talk less to my friends while the teacher is talking. I also need to stop my maniacal laughing fits, which are becoming more and more frequent. Although nobody says so, I'm sure it annoys a lot of people, so I'm going to try my very hardest to stop them. Or at least make them quieter.
Hopefully, a lot more changes will take place as I try to become a better person as a whole. I'm crossing my fingers.
Just to let you all know, I won't be blogging as frequently till after May 23, 2008, which is the last day of school. After that, I should be more active on this site.
Ugh, I'm all sweaty and stuff now. In case you don't know, I take dance classes. Well, of all the people in my class, I've been taking the longest (9 years) so I have to do all the hard solos. And the hard steps hurt and are really tiring. I'm going to go take a shower soon, but I had to catch my breath. Well, at class, one of the girls from another class came in and was like, "Ooh, your hair looks so pretty wet! You should stop hairdrying it!" So I told her that I didn't just get out of the shower but it was sweat. Then she grossed out, which I found amusing.
We had an awards ceremony at school yesterday, which I found greatly embarrassing. I was called a nerd, a horse, and short all in an hour. First, I was one of four people to have to go up on stage for math awards, which was super-nerdy since the other three were like the nerdiest boys in the school. One of them was my friend Naga, who thinks I'm extremely stupid, and he had the nerve to call me nerdy up on stage. Excuse me? Then, next thing I know, he calls me stupid. I only got the math award for representing the school in some math competition. Later, our principal made Naga stand up and apologized to him for pronouncing his name wrong all year. It was hilarious!
Then, my English teacher gave me the Clover Award, which is awarded to his friendliest student. The name is derived from the book Animal Farm, in which a horse named Clover is the kindest animal on the farm. My English teacher then goes on to say, "Although she doesn't stand nearly as tall as a horse, this certificate is awarded to Sharvari." Basically, he called me short. I know I'm short, but why must my English teacher rub it in? :P
This weekend has been so dull. I have to write an essay on the true meaning of happiness, which really isn't going well for me. We have to research a bunch of philosophers' theories, and I don't think my brain can handle Aristotle's and Plato's theories right now. I also have a math take-home quiz to do, and if you have no idea how much I hate math, just know I'm screaming about it right now.
First of all, happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone. It's also my little brother's tenth birthday today, so I guess we can all celebrate it now. Today was a pretty good day. I painted my nails black this morning and wore black earrings to school today. Coincidentally, my hair is also black and my school uniform pants are black, so I had a lot of people come ask me if I was trying to go emo, which I found somewhat amusing. I'm way too hyper and bubbly to ever go emo.
For his birthday, my brother got a new Wii. When he opened it, he gave me a controller and put in his new soccer game. Well, I'd always heard that to play a Wii, you have to actually do the actions. Being the genius I am, I start running around my living room, kicking my feet. That was before my brother kindly informed me of the fact that you only need to move your arm. -sigh- I had the entire family laughing at me for a sec. Wow.
Today hasn't been a very interesting day at all. It was really quite dull. Our Spanish teacher told us that we would get to play crab soccer against the French students for Cinco de Mayo, but she got tired of it by the time we got to her class for the last period of the day. I was so mad, because I'd been looking forward to crab soccer the entire day. She crushed my hopes and dreams. :P
Today has been an interesting day thus far. First, I had to babysit my brother's friend. He was just as annoying as usual, but he did teach me something today. You see, he has this new little pet worm. I'd never seen it before, but I was absolutely terrified of it. I mean, it wasn't scary at all; in fact, it was adorable. However, I have a problem with anything with more than four legs. The worm had plenty more than four. I nearly had a heart attack when he put it on my arm. Then I realized it was totally harmless and couldn't actually do anything. So I just watched it roam around on my hand. Until it pooped on me. Not normal poop either. The poop was green and slimy. It was horrid. I must have washed my hands about fifteen times after that. It was just repulsive.
Now to my jumbled mess. That refers to my brain as it accomplishes to sort out my life. As of three days ago, I no longer have a boyfriend. I broke up with him because I decided that I didn't want a boyfriend in high school. Not to mention that I'd known him since kindergarten, so I think we were more of friends than the whole girlfriend-boyfriend thing. I'm not sure if I ever liked him like that. With that said, I'm going to let out something else that has been on my mind recently. I think I might like the guy I used to like again. I know, disastrous and complicated. We had a band competition today, and I think I just realized that I might still like him a teensy little bit. For once, he wasn't being the annoying maniac he always is, and once you get past that, he's really nice actually. Sadly, you don't get past that very often, which confuses me as to whether I like him or not.
Ugh, I just did the stupidest thing. I wrote this giant, long blog right before I hit the wrong button. It deleted everything I'd written in my blog. I feel so slow now. Therefore, I'll have to just summarize what I wrote really fast. Sorry.
Does anybody know what the Day of Silence is? I read about it on Gabby's site and it sounds like so much fun.
The guy I used to like is greatly confusing me. Well, he found out that I used to like him about a month ago. Therefore, he usually ignores me with this awkward silence. However, he sometimes talks to me just like any of his other friends, before going back to ignoring me. I just don't understand what it's supposed to mean. Sometimes he totally ignores me; other times, he jokes around and teases me. If any of you guys are all-knowing gurus, please help me!
My boyfriend left to go on his vacation to France today. I already miss him, and he's going to be gone three more months. -sigh-
I have a busy weekend ahead of me. Tomorrow, my best friend is coming over to film a video entirely in Spanish for homework. On Saturday, I have to babysit my little brother's friend, and I have a band concert that afternoon. On Sunday, I have a major dance class practice for my upcoming recital. I also have to finish an extremely long book report, study for a test, and prepare for an exam that will determine my high school future. All of that in one weekend.
I'll choose now to stop my ramblings. I still feel so slow about deleting my entire old blog. Oh, well. This one's plenty long. :o)
Today I discovered two of my pet peeves. Here goes:
Yes, they both have to do with sneezing. Lately a lot of people at my school are sick, so many people are sneezing. I discovered that those two things greatly annoy me in my English class. Some guys sneezed and I blessed them (that sounds funny), but they just ignored me. I was also the only one to say anything. I got greatly annoyed. Sorry, but I get greatly disgruntled by little things like that.
Well, the guy I used to like is still not talking to me. Now it's starting to really bother me. It's so awkward. If I talk to him, everyone would think I like him again. That's what I hate about the teen years. If you become friends with a guy, everyone suddenly thinks that you like him. Or at least that's true with me and my friends. It's starting to drive me slowly insane, and I still have all of high school to go. Hopefully, people will become slightly more mature in high school and we can go back to talking to guys as friends. -sigh-
Well, that's it for now. I'll probably come back and add more useless ramblings later today. If not, ¡Chao!
//add As you may or may not know, my favorite singer is Taylor Swift. I just finished watching all her music videos. I cried through Teardrops on my Guitar and Tim McGraw, because they were just so sad. I know the songs are sad but the videos are ever more sad.
This is another dull and lame blog. For starters, the guy I used to like is back to ignoring me. I guess he was only talking to me yesterday to tease me for almost going to jail. The fact that he's not talking to me anymore is both a relief and not. It's a relief since he's really annoying and never shuts up. However, that means we're back to the awkward silence we had before.
Well, I finished coding a site for my best friend at Whyz. Her site and layout are both super-cute, not to mention hilarious. If you ever get a spare minute, which I'm sure you have if you're actually reading this, go and look at her awesome site.
Okay, well if you've been keeping up with my blogs lately (anyone? -scoffs-), you would know that I'd been depressed that I wouldn't get to be in the Junior Honors Society at my school, due to the fact that I was a bad, bad girl last year. The counselor told me I wouldn't get the invitation. Guess what? I got it! The problem is that in order to get in you have to have done community service. I've done hardly any community service. I hope I can find something to put down for that. I really want to get into this.
Well, that's it for today. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. My boyfriend is going to France to visit his grandparents (he's 1/4 French). He's going to be gone for three months, and I'm going to miss him a lot. I had three of my best friend on my street about three months ago. One moved to Paris, the other to Canada, and now my boyfriend's vacationing in France. I'm not used to being this alone.
//add I just found a terrific new site. It's a version of Google, except when you use it you're saving energy. Use Blackle and help in the fight against global warming.
This is really a pointless blog. I'm really only blogging because I want to blog each day. My life is a little too dull for that, but I'll bore you with my life anyway. Well, the guy I used to like (and now hate) is talking to me again, after a long and awkward silence. I think I enjoyed the silence more, since he's really annoying.
As you know from my last blog, I just got back from Chicago. Let's just say I left out the details of me and some friends almost getting arrested. Well, I'm a real goodie-good. When I got to school, everyone made so much fun of me. Nothing even happened, except the police threatened to arrest us. Guess who told everyone? The guy I used to like. -sigh-
Well, that's about it for today. I'm somewhat happy for my best friend. She and her boyfriend kissed for the third time today. It's sweet, but I feel like I'm losing my best friend sometimes. That's all for now.
I just got back from my school band trip to Chicago. I got back last night. Chicago was terrific, and I don't remember ever being so hyper in my entire life. I made a lot of new friends and got to know people better. I also now hate the guy I used to like even more than I did before the trip. Interesting, eh? I drove all my friends crazy, especially at the museums. I love stairs, so I made them take every single set of stairs we came across. It was hilarious how tired they were after that. Being the hyperactive freak I am, I was still hopping around, hyper as ever while they were panting.
The sad thing is that now I'm back to Memphis. Back to my dull routine of school and homework. The rest of the school year is going to suck horribly for so many reasons. That's another story that will come another day.
I did so much shopping in Chicago. It was so much fun. I used to scoff at all those girls that are obsessed with shopping, but after shopping in Chicago I think I'm just as obsessed as they are. It was just so much fun. I won't be scoffing at shop-a-holics anymore, that's for sure.
I basically just wrote this blog for the sake of writing one, so sorry for the lack of news. In case you haven't noticed, I have a new layout up. That means that my site may be messed up for a few days while I try to make sure the layout works with all my pages.
