Annie's Journal
Dec. 31st, 2006
06:01 pm - long time now see ay?
i was just trying to read through journals for the first time in maybe a year and it wouldnt let me read past the 2nd 20 entries, however it is probably for the best because i wouldve been on here for centuries for sure. i feel sorta like a loser.
christmas was alright, disappointedly i wasnt in the best of moods ay (i lost my cord to charge my cameras battery, bought a new one for 30$, found the camera charger while looking for the cord to plug my camera into my computer which i realized was missing christmas morning when i got a new computer and wanted most to use the cord to plug my camera in, i was quite pissy) but by the way i did indeed get a new computer so that is always absolutely wonderful and i am truly grateful.
i feel british, prehaps because ive been listening to harry potter book on tapes for the past 9 hours, yet still did not finish the book (anyone know it takes 27 hours to read the stupid book, however it is not really stupid, im quite enjoying it but will probably never enjoy it again hence i will not be sitting in the car for 9 hours again and shant listen to it unless that would occur) shame. can anyone else feel the british accent in my tone? plus i watched billy elliot (great movie, however im unsure of the ending) the other day so ive been chalk full of brits. cant wait to go ay (maybe some canadian too ay)
that is a nice transition. just got back from nc. id say best trip there ever. im oddly glad that some of my cousins didnt attend because it forced me to enjoy the company of my family and be grateful and finally satisfied with their presence. it also helped me think on my own will rather than theirs because whenever theyre there i tend to think of what theyre doing and let it thwart or have a impact on what i want to do. so good trip.
i feel old and wise yet also young and anxious. i feel very in touch and in love with God and am quite happy with it, i feel pretty strong in my decision making cuz i try to consult him yet i am still very weak when it comes to the boys, im still having trouble letting Him completely control that part. haha way to be open ay? oh well by the time someone reads all the way to hear i supposed they deserve a little bit into the raw part of me, however raw you may think it isnt, if it is personal to me then it must be personal dont you know. oh lordy i dont know who im arguing with.
i kinda feel like a loser, yet its kinda wonderful, i forgot how much i enjoyed just spilling on this thing, yet i also forgot how time consuming it is.
tonight should be an interesting one ay? oh lord keep me in my good judgements and make the decisions for me when its obvious im gonna screw up.
i feel like reading my bible. i finally figured out the bible a couple months back. about how its actually a person who wrote it with something important to say and with actually cool stories. its quite interesting, i dont know how to describe the way it is. but its quite beautiful.
i cant wait to see olivia, i miss her quite a lot. and i cant wait to go to the gym. my dad and i ran the past 2 days and i feel like my legs are gonna fall off today and yesterday. the first day we ran 2 miles straight and jogged 2 miles back. the next day i thought my muscles had turned to wood so we took it much slower and jogged about 3ish miles. petted some horses along the way, quite beautiful they were, oh i want to go riding.
anyway happy new years and merry christmas everyone, i truly do hope that everyone's school break has been splendid and that everyone is... happy. enjoy yourselves ay?

03:22 pm - heres a long one since its been a while
what a wonderful summer this has been. choir tour was really great. i felt like we made a difference and i became friends with a lot of the kids younger than me.
i have to talk in front of everyone some wednesday night in july. i should write it out, get everything i wanna say straight. oh im gonna be so nervous and shaky. maybe i could talk towards the wall so i dont have to see everybody. or go out in the hall with a microphone and olivia and talk to her. or maybe just write it all out and then make copies for everyone, no that one would be lame cuz no one would read it. oy, well even though im really nervous i want everyone to come listen to me cuz i want everyone to hear what i have to say and know.
last night i went to city stages with kristin and sam and i thought for sure it was gonna suck and id be a major third wheel. but theyre really easy to get along with and kristins really good at being including. anyway sam was weird and wouldnt move up to the front with me during puddle of mudd so i was getting really worried that we were gonna be standing in the back the whole time but then a ton of people moved and we ran to the front. and when we were in the back there was this hilarious german group of guys talking in german to eachother. ah man they cracked me up. they spoke english too and explained that they came all the way from germany to see city stages (surely a joke). hahaha those german boys. and once we got in the front for shinedown (who was absolutely amazing) and found some more people we knew there were these guys really gettin in to the music and head banging. i was really worried he was gonna take my head off with his head. they were nice, and you can never trust what someone says about theyre age.
im learning how to use the interstate. like ive always driven on em but i never understood em and such but now im learning which ones which etc. so yay for me!
i need some motivation to run and workout. oy ill do good for like a week and then get too busy. i wish i had someone to workout with me.
im sooo excited about yellowcard tonight, i hope we get as lucky as we did last night and get close to the front cuz sam wont follow me in. i could care less about hank and even less about snoop (yes i know im like the only one in alabama who would dare say that) but ill go it should be entertaining.
karen comes home today and i havent done her birthday present. i think im gonna turn it into a christmas present. im kind of apprehensive about her coming home.
mission trip next week, were working a lot. we get there at 130 and start work at 2 and our only breaks throught the week is for lunch and sleep. im gonna be quite tired and dirty and have an interesting tan line when i get back. im excited about being grungy for a week though.
i love bein able to talk to people and dress up every once in awhile.
i have so much stuff to do that im overwhelmed...
1. wash car (im ashamed to say that ive washed it once since i got it, its so dirty im having trouble seeing through the windshield cuz theres so many spots on it)
2. apply to samford
3. sign up for the act again
i guess thats not a lot of stuff but its stuff thats gonna take a while and i just dont want to get started on it.

08:25 pm - first time for butterflies
what a freaking great day!!!!!!!!
in english i have a fairly bad grade but i did this essay for a possible 30 bonus points. the essay that we did before that for real points i did pretty bad on cuz i got a 0 on grammar, but this one i checked thoroughly and was sooo proud of when i turned it in. i mean i was very happy with it. so i got it back today and got 30 bonus points!! heck yes! plus she wrote that i had a cute title! that might be the first time shes ever written something nice on my paper. it was so nice! and then we got a quiz back, it was the last quiz on as i lay dying and on every sinlge one wed gotten back id been getting like 8/20 etc, well this one i got a 19/20 plus another nice note! then we got this quote project back and i got like a 76/77!!! oooooo today was a very good day in english. i almost cried with joy but i resisted.
and then i didnt get my math test back, which is a good thing cuz it probably wouldve messed up my day.
THEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!!!! after school i went to wolf camera in the mall, which i would recommend to anyone, i really like those folks, and got me a camera!! finally!! with my own money!!!! ok the money thing isnt that fabulous, it wouldve been better if it was someone else's money but ya know, what can ya do? so my cameras fabulous and i was really worried that i mightve gotten ripped off cuz i dont know anything about cameras but then i got home and my mom and dad, most importantly my dad, said that i got a really good deal! so hooray!!
AND NOW!!!!! greys anatomy is on!!!!
oh man today couldntve been any better i dont think.

got progress reports today... thank goodness ive already made it better some.
we got our english paper back today and shockingly the content of my paper was perfect so I got i think it was about 160 points, give or take a lot. but then another 100 points was based on grammar (which is half of the entire grade), I got a 0 on it, which wasn't so shocking, i didnt check my grammer (like we couldnt use it or is etc). so i got barely a d on it. im not complaining about getting a 0 for grammer cuz i deserved it, but for grammar to be almost half of the sum of the points is pretty extreme.
ive already brought my spanish grade up significantly along with history since i got a freakin 90!!! on our last test!!! woo im not too shabby at improvement.
i am burning up. i finally have someone to wrestle with.
i think ill give my testimony at church sometime soon. should be utterly uncomfortable.
crawfish boils comin up and im pretty excited. this week should be pretty good, what with the people. proms this weekend and im pretty unprepared and im thinkin too much about it, otherwise im really excited. and the future looks good.
waffles the new word.

ME! everyone should come over admire how they can see theyre face in my car and how red it looks and how every blade of grass is almost the same length. oo i am so proud of myself. and i picked up my room and washed my sheets. oh i just feel so much better. my back hurts pretty bad though, i need to start standing up straight.
the future looks good.
at the beginning of this week, i was so stressed out, but now ive turned in my english project, taken my history test (which i think i did really well on, say a prayer shell forget to mark the ones i missed :)), and taken my math test. now the rest of the week and is relaxing cept for my paper which im hoping wont be that bad. a weight has been lifted.
school has been sooo boring. something exciting needs to happen. someone plot something, stir up some mischief. hahaha

oh man, i really hate hw. its not the doing it part but that its so time consuming. theres so many things i have to do. and so many things i want to do. like hang out with my friends.
TO DO LIST:
-mow the lawn
-wash my car
-read a zillion books and listen to some harry potter
-call best buy about my camera
-wash my clothes and sheets
-clean my bathroom and vacuum
i hate to say it, but i kinda miss having a weekend of nothing and calling and hanging out spontaneously. the spontaneity has been sucked out of my life. and im living pretty dirtily too. i have got to clean my room.
what a bland day. grumpy too. and it was so pretty outside.
history should die, not history of course but the class. its killing me. but at least the examll be easy and i guess its helped with my note taking skills. stupid good side of things, it sucks out my annoyance. haha

Here's a prime example of "Men Are From Mars, Women
Are From Venus" offered by an English professor from the
University of Phoenix.
The professor told his class one day, "Today we will experiment
with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple.
Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her
immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will write the
first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner
that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will read
the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story
and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person
will then add a third paragraph, and so on, back-and-forth.
Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to
keep the story coherent. There is to be absolutely NO
talking outside of the e-mails and anything you wish to say must be written
in the e-mail. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached."
The following was actually turned in by two of his English students: Rebecca
and Gary.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE STORY
(first paragraph by Rebecca)
At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The
chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now
reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, th! at he
liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind
off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him
too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.
(second paragraph by Gary)
Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron
now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about
than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with
whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to
Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator "Polar orbit
established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign
off a bluish particle beam f! lashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole
through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him
flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.
(Rebecca)
He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt
one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who
had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its
pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon. "Congress
Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in
her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored
her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had
passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspa! per to read, no
television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the
beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to
become a woman?" she wondered wistfully.
(Gary)
Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands
of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of
its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed
the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through the Congress had left
Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined
to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty
the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower
to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly
initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the
atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine
headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the
inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid Laurie.
(Rebecca)
This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My
writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent.
(Gary)
Yeah? Well, my writing partner is a self-centered tedious neurotic whose
attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. "Oh, shall I
have chamomile tea? Or shall I have! some other sort of stinking TEA??? Oh
no, what am I to do? I'm such an air-headed bimbo who reads too many
Danielle Steele novels!"
(Rebecca)
Jerk .
(Gary)
Moron
(Rebecca)
YOU NEANDERTHAL!
(Gary)
Go drink some tea - loser .
(TEACHER)
A+ - I really liked this one.
10:24 am
spring break was really fun. i got burned on the back of me but at least it was an even burn unlike everyone elses leopard printed red. but now my back is peeling ridiculously and im losing the sexy browness i had. least it doesnt hurt anymore. and i got sick the day i got back but at least it waited till i got home and it gave me the chance to read a 400 page book for english in less than 24 hours. i dont think ive ever sped through a book that fast. i miss reading so much.
im still gettin over bein sick and ill probably come back to school monday with flakes fallin out of my shirt. im ready for the pool to open up.
aw.
