So posterity may witness the making of the universe's greatest person

    Well, today I has the displeasure of meeting a bigot. Unfortunately there are people like that everywhere.
    In other news, Jack, of beanstalk fame, released a statement saying he "had every intention of repaying the Giant for damages caused to his castle." The Giant responded with a resounding "Ack!" and promply expired. The Gian's widow, Marge M. Giant, then proceeded to marry the gardner. An average person off the street calls her conduct "Scandelous!" and proceeded to say "She should have had the decency to bump off her own husband, instead of having some hireling do it. Where are the morals of the younger generation? Why, in my day, a girl wasn't afraid of getting her hands dirty and doing some good, honest homicides." Later, she was seen hauled of in a straitjacket.

    forgive me for not updating, this has been a hectic week all around. Also, may I beg your pardon in advance? I'm not sure I'll be able to update regularly for the next week, although I'll try. In other news, I got last place in impromptu, and I was very close to tears on the way home from the meet. I'm alright now, and I feel silly about it, but it happens to the best of us. Right now, it's only 7:30,and I'm tired. Of course, I won't sleep because I want to add all the reviews I've been meaning to do. *sigh* The sacrafices I make! *sweeps arm in a theatric manner*

    A bad day today:
I stayed home because I was sick.
Tara wasn't home for half an hour when she yelled at me.
I don't want to go to school tommorrow.
I feel miserable.
I want my mommie.
I want my daddy.
I can't take this much longer.

...on the bright side, I did get to watch Maverick, since I stayed home. It was quite funny. Why can't it be on at a time when I can watch it?

    Today was awful. I got so tired of being sad, that I just acted silly in chemestry for the sake of being silly. It didn't help. By the time history rolled around, I was famished (I had no breakfast or lunch), and we were talking about the Donner Party. Is it such a wonder that I raised my hand when the teacher asked how many of us would resort to canabalism in their place? I was pretty near gnawing my neighbor's leg off, I can tell you that. Even speech didn't cheer me up all thet much. No matter how bad the day goes, I always perk up when speech rolls around. Not so this time. :( ...to top this all off, I have been comissioned, in a sense, tocome up with an OC before december. I feel a new respect and affinity to the playwrights of old, and the newspaper peole of today. They are in much the same boat as I am.
"Ah! So is the fate of the talented."

    Yesterday Latha auntie came to pick me up from school, and the car stalled in the parking lot. We waited for an hour for help to arrive.
    Today was a day for depression. In french, Mme. S told us about the life of Vincent Van Gogh. Very sad stuff. In theater, We finished Death of a Salesman. I cried. In english, we watched Antigone, right up to the part where she is dragged away to be shut in a cave forever. During speech practice, Katie read one of her prose pieces, which was all about the author's mother dying of cancer. I cried again.
On a lighter note, Sheila is going to be Algernon! ..In case you didn't know, I have introduced her to the wonders of The Importance of Being Earnest, and of course, we both love Algernon. Wunderbar!
    Gym is my last class of the day, and we're swimming now. I got out of the lockers just before the teacher locked up... and then realized my glasses were in there. I'm practically blind without them, but I managed to get up to the speech room without a major mishap. JoAnne guided me back down, and I recovered my glasses.
    ...And wrapping it up, here's my rant of the day: We started collecting money for sweatshirts for speech team. I asked for a logo, and waited for two weeks. Nobody came up with anything, not even an idea, so I made one. Nobody really objected at the meeting on tuesday. Today, Jocy and Lauren come to practice, and say they don't want Chairman Moo on the logo, they want a bronco, our school's mascot. I think The Chairman is unique, not like uour mascot, which is everywhere. So now they are drawing their own logo, well after I asked for one, and we're going to vote at saturday's meet as to which one goes on the sweatshirt. My mother said I shouldn't have even given them the chance, but I don't want to deny them a chance. Still, it's irritating how my logo was put down, and they start working after the fact. It makes me angry, but what can I say, I did this with my eyes open. *sigh* My logo better win, or I'm not to be held responsible for my actions.
    By the by, I have a ton of reviews to put up, hopefully tomorrow.

    I'm exausted, but I have to type up my script for tomorrow, like the procrastinator that I am. I waking up a 5 to be at the school at 6, for the meet. I'd swear if I wasn't so polite.

    Yesterday I gave my best impromptu speech ever. It's a wonderful feeling, knowing you don't stink.
    Today Latha auntie and Manthra went home, and for a while it was peaceful in the house. I don't have anything against them, but after a while, people start getting on your nerves. Now I'm off to do a bazillion and one things, and I'll finish fixing the page if I have time. Au Revoir.

    I'm lazy, and didn't update, once again. So sue me! (figuratively, of course). Anyway... perhaps I should start back in Saturday (cue wavy flashback sequence)
    I went to Lake Forest for the meet. Wow! That is the prettiest school I have ever seen. It looks like a mansion or a museum and not a school. It was so beautiful, that we took pictures of it. As a side note, The film Ordinary People was filmed. The film garnered a bazillion and one oscar nominations, and even managed to win some. Personally, I think the book is infinitly better than the movie.
    I resolved, yesterday, to try out for our musical Cinderella, the Rogers and Hammerstein version. So today, during my lunch, I got a copy of the script and read it through. The only part I would love to have was that of the king. ...well, once again, I'm excluded because of my sex. Dang. I wouldn't mind being a stepsister, though. I doubt I'll get in. but it'll be good experience, so I'm going to say I only want to be a stepsister, and I won't get stuck in the chorus.
    Another day of Scholastic bowl. I got a total of 3 questions right out 3 packets of questions. Afterwards, I played some MarioKart in the debate lounge. Five teens in a small room, with a game system... well, needless to say, it was interesting. *waggles eyebrows conspratorily*

    I was adopted yesterday, and spent Thanksgiving with my friend JoAnne and her family. It really was a lot of fun. When we went around the table to say what we were thankful for, I said I was thankful for my mother. I really am. This past week made us all realize and appreciate what she does for us, and we also found out that being without her brings out the worst in everyone. The moral of the story: your mum and dad did, and will do, more for you than just about any person in your life. Tell them how thankful you are that they changed your diapers and cleaned up even your most disgusting messes. They deserve it.
    I'm not sure I'll be able to try out for the play, much as I want to, so I decided to design some ideas for the posters. The one I'm doing now is Cinderella looking in front of a mirror and seeing herself in fine clothing. I made Tara model for me, so I didn't completely bungle the perspective. It's actually turning out nicely. Usually I'm no good at people.

    WOOHOO! Ma Mère est ici! My mother is back!! Oddly enough, this morning (afternoon, really) I realized that I was never going to see my grandmother again. It broke my heart. It didn't hit me until now, so today is really very bittersweet.

    I slept untill 11, and spent 6 1/2 hours putting up all the reviews. I cannot be accused of neglecting my site. In other news, the oldies station has been playing every song thay have in alphabetical order. I've sat through the c's and d's. If that took six hours, just imagine the number of songs they have! Mind boggeling

    Yesterday, Adithya taught me how to play chess. Now if only I coould learn strategy...
    I'm not sure the quote on the mouse thing is right. If you didn't know, that was from The Odd Couple If you haven't, see it. It's hilarious.
