Andreah's Journal

6:31AM

I think something's wrong with me. I'm finding it harder to be excited about things that should be great. Such as yesterday. Yesterday was my birthday, but it made practically no difference in my day/life.

Does that sound a little bit...odd?

How many people miss Zage?

1:44PM

Lots of stuff has happened since I last updated my journal. Such as the Renaissance faire. I thought it was lots of fun, and next year, I'm going to go in costume, and I'm going to have plenty of money with me.

I like Cirque de Soleil (sp?). Tonight, there's going to be a show that I reeaally want to see, but it's going to start at 5:00, and end at 7:00. ARGH! That's about the time that I leave for karate and then return! NOOOOO! Fortunately, I was able to beg Ender to tape it for me, and he said yes. Yay!

I finally got one of my parents to take me out driving last night. My dad took me, and had me drive on the back roads that are less driven. And I got to drive his SAAB! ^-^ And after my first official driving lesson too! *feels special*

Yesterday, I also figured out what I have in geometry this time. Instead of a D+, and bordering on a C, I have an A-! Let's just hope I can keep it there...

I don't know why, but it just doesn't feel right updating my LJ after that tribute for my uncle...

Current mood: okay

Current music: cups clinking

I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored, and of course...I'M BORED!!!

I have nothing to do!!! Piper's back, so Zage's going to see her. I'm stuck home. They're going to see Chicago. I have no money to go to the Rennaissance Fair (which would keep me entertained for a few hours at least). Courtney has a job. I have NO where to go! *pounds head on desk* AAARGH!!!

Current mood: bored

12:58PM

I have my first driving test today in about an hour or so, and I keep thinking: Ohhhh, man, I just know I'm going to run someone over! In other words, I'm pretty nervous. I can't help it, I am!

Am hoping my Uncle's okay. He threw up blood last night, so I'm pretty worried about him. I'm glad we gave him that guardian angel icon...

I know this has nothing to do with why I'm nervous, but I've noticed that th eyes of one of our icons of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) seem to follow me when I'm leaving or entering the room. I'm guessing it's just me being paranoid.

I need more to eat. One burrito isn't filling enough, and I'm not going to take a driving lesson on an empty stomach. If I'm going to run someone over, I'd like to at least not be thinking about how hungry I am right now!

Current mood: worried

I am now in summer school at the rival school of my own. And the weird thing is I keep seeing people I know from my school by face and/or name, or from middle school. Such as today: during break, someone came into the room, and asked if the teacher'd seen someone. I immediately recognized her as a girl from my middle school. I didn't say anything, but I considered just calling over to her.

I went over to Amy's house a couple of days ago with Ender. It was fun! We watched Kung Pow, and locked Amy and Andrew out of the house, called over Boomer (Amy's dog) whenever they started getting too mushy. I taught Boomer how to sit up! ^-^ Next time I go over to her house, I'M TAKING MY CAMERA!!!! She has a cool house, I looooove the her neighborhood, and I love a house nearby (Amy told me the people living there were kinda mysterious, i.e. many expensive cars parked outside their house late at night, and I'd like to see their reaction if I started taking pictures of their house. *evil grin*)!

That same day, I was able to solve a problem, and so I am happy now. My problem: I don't feel ready to pretest for black in August, so I (obviously) don't want to pretest that soon. I was feeling pressured into it, and there were other things I would definitely rather do (such as get a job) than karate. One of my problems with karate right now: Mac (manager of the studio). He teaches the intermediate class at the same time as the advanced class (mine). And after warm ups, here's what happens (currently): Stance Drill C, High-Low Kicking Set, Low-Line Kicking Set. Over, and over, and over. COME ON!!! I HATE the repition of it all! So now, after warm ups, Ender's going to take me into the back room and help me out! YAY! NO MORE REPITION OF SETS I KNOW I CAN DO EASILY!!! ^___________^

I finally updated my LotR fic And the Mentally Ill Invade Middle-earth. I think it's a good chapter.

Yesterday, while I was at summer school, my mom was at a Starbucks. She picked up an application for me (yay)! Now all I just need to finish it.

Have you ever wanted to hear a song really, really badly, but the radio never seems to be playing it? Right now, it's called Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. And so, I'm leaving my radio on at night, because I do that anyway, and when I had insomnia a couple nights ago, I HEARD IT! ^_^ I was so happy! And I remembered how I'd told my mummy that the next time I heard it, I'd drag her into the room and make her listen to it (and it was nearly 12:30). The only thing that stopped me was the fact that in the process of waking her up, I'd wake up my dad. And that wouldn't be good.

Then this morning, I woke up (sort of) and it started. Was happy again. So I began thinking the lyrics with the song. Next thing I knew, IT WAS ENDING! I'D GONE BACK TO SLEEP!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I just need to get Courtney to burn that song onto a CD for me.

I need to have someone around that'll smack me whenever I a)try to avoid Lex, b)yell at Lex too many times in ten minutes, c)try to avoid playing board games with Lex. Don't get me wrong, I love my hermanito, but I don't have a relationship with him, and me excluding him doesn't help either of us at all. KINNEAS!! I proclaim you the official Head-Whacker if I post a rant about Lex! Can you do that?

Current mood: productive

The best thing that's happened within the time that I haven't updated this journal is that I got my learner's permit!!! *does victory dance*

Sylvester (one of my cats) is sitting at the screen door, wanting to be let in. The annoying thing: there's a pet door, and he won't use it. Lazy bum!

Lita's learned the word kitty. I can look out the living room window and say "Lita, kitty!" and she'll jump up on top of the couch, and stare out the window, looking for the cat. It's funny, yet annoying at the same time.

Summer school starts next Monday. DAMMIT!!! I don't want to have to take first semester Geometry again, but I have to! I hate proofs, and those... *can't find the word that describes her hatred of proofs* ...things are a major part of first semester Geometry.

Oh well...I guess that's life...

Current mood: indifferent

7:55AM - Andy's Dream

I had a dream. When I woke up, my heart was pounding and for a second, I thought it had happened.

I remember hanging out with a little baby who reminded me of Toby Froud (he was in Labyrinth). I got to hold him and play with him, and it was wonderful. I was extremely happy.

But in the last scene, I was with Steve Irwin and his wife (WHO knows why...), and they were using the baby to lure a croc out. I was sitting within a few feet of him (the baby), and I knew that as soon as I saw it, I needed to pull him back. So I continually glanced over, and the water was getting higher. As was the bank. I shoved my backpack up there just to be ready. When I looked down, the baby was in the water.

I freaked out.

I jumped in and tried to pull him out before the crocodile came. He looked right at me and then sank. I know I screamed and began looking around for him frantically before I woke up.

5:55PM

*sigh* I've had enough of being social. I don't mind going to church, where I must socialize, but if I can avoid going to Cody's when they're having tons of guests over and having guests for dinner on the same day within a few hours of each other, I'll gladly avoid it. Unfortunately, that's what's going on.

ENDER HAS NOTHING ON ME!!! I DIDN'T GET HYPER DURING CHURCH TODAY!!! I TOOK AN 8 HOUR DEXY!! But now I'm really calm, and easily bored, and less social than I'd be if I didn't have my medication.

Earlier today, Lex and I (from lack of any better idea for a birthday present for Mummy) emailed Oprah and asked if she could help us get our dearest mother to Chicago to be in the audience of her show. I dun think it's gonna happen, though...

I was paid for dishes duty, and so last night I got my film developed and bought a couple of shot glasses! ^^ Shot glasses fuuuuuuuuuuuun... I showed them to Zage, and she laughed. It was great.

I read more from Le Morte D'Arthur. The guests just arrived. Now I begin avoiding all social contact if I can.

Current mood: drained
