Straight A's in all my classes thus far this semester, but I honestly don't care.

I'm much too furious at someone. He isn't anyone here, so don't ask. No, he is some person I take one class with who has taken it upon himself to try to humiliate me as a sport. Apparently, I greatly amuse him. That's fascinating. I wish he would find something else comic to watch and listen to.

My friend Jeremy and I see him more than we would care to. I'll call this jerk Brandon. Brandon has found debating philosophy with Jeremy and myself to be the most hilarious thing in the known universe, because in Brandon's mind, he always wins. He twists everything he observes while questioning our intelligences and our characters. Now, I and a number of my friends "debate" these sort of things in good humor all the time, but Brandon genuinely believes all of his initial misconceptions about me. Yes, I care entirely too much about what people think. In fact, because Brandon realized this, he was admittedly able to hurt me more.

Some of the things Brandon thinks are,
1. I am not as deeply complex a person as Jeremy is, simply because I am not as jaded a person as Jeremy is.
2. I am not assertive "when one gets right down to [my] core."
3. I am a lesbian. He has nicknamed me Sappho, although there is no proof that the poet and instructor Sappho was a lesbian. (She taught an all girl's school on the Isle of Lesbos.)
4. I am a people pleaser, and thus I am more sensitive than I am willing to publicly admit.

He is right about 4, although it depends greatly on each individual person. He is dead wrong about 1. and 2., and only half right about 3. I swear, I don't understand why people assume I am a dyke. Because my hair isn't long? Because I'm tall? Because I am indeed assertive and, yes, proud? These aren't real reasons at all. Apparently, it's the "vibe" I give off. I give off a "vibe" of being either bisexual or a lesbian. Right.
That is so ridiculous.
As for 1. and 2., just because I am not a panicking jaded mess half the time does not mean I am not complicated. In fact, Brandon proved that I am complex in his gross misjudgments of me. He certainly has not been around me long enough to see my various character traits. And just because I can grow to respect the opinions of my friends does not mean that my assertiveness is a mask. It's very real. I have always been and will always be a questioning person.

If you think I'm rambling now, you're lucky you weren't around me last night. This is the extremely condensed version. Brandon made numerous other accusations, among them that Jeremy is a more shielded person than myself. Yes, well, that is called "Jeremy fakes pleasure at people's horribleness whereas I continually tell them that they are doing horrible things." Perhaps it is a bit like dropping ones' shield in a battle, but it somewhat contradicts a few of Brandon's other misconceptions.

The only thing Brandon said that I liked was something that everyone listening agreed with. He said I was proud, but not cocky. "There's an unsinkable pride in your voice, no matter what you say."

Congrats, you guys! There are a bunch of smarties on UD! (I'm proud of my 83.something on a test I took... But I have gotten all As on my papers in German Film...at least all the papers he handed back.)

Nice grades Amy and Prudence!

Pru-that Branden guy sounds like a JERK! Just don't stoop to his level and start making fun of him(even though at times it WILL be hard to resist),try to ignore him and and make HIM look stupid!

Thanks, Dan!

So, usually I make really good (but a little burnt) grilled cheese sandwiches. I was craving one for lunch...so, eventually I made one. I've lost my touch, though. One side was overly cooked, and the other was mushy. And, my kitchen got all smoky.

Usually, that wouldn't be a big deal. But tonight we have someone (or people) from an animal shelter coming over to check us out, because we want to adopt 2 dogs. All the windows have been open, anyway, and I have the ceiling fans in the kitchen & connecting room on. From previous experiences, I know that the smokey smell will linger for many hours- I just hope it goes away by the time they get here- they'll think our house is burning or something...

I hope evertything go ok

hey...you can always blame a fire-detector test so the dogs be ok

All went well- no smokey smell was present when the lady from the shelter came over! After asking us some questions (and answering a whole bunch), she said that we'd make good doggie parents! She submitted the paperwork, and another lady from the shelter contacted Bobby, and then the foster parents of the 2 doggies we want contacted Bobby. They're bringing over the 2 dogs tomorrow morning at 10am, and, if all goes well, they'll leave them with us!

We went to Walmart & Petsmart yesterday, and bought about $200 + worth of doggie supplies (big sleeping pillows, food, snacks, toys, collars, leashes, tags), and we need to pay about $300 to the shelter. But, we're sooo excited and we hope that the dogs like us (and don't growl at us or anything).

I've never even had a goldfish, so this is huge, and I don't know how to break it to my parents (they'll be grandparents...sort of), so Bobby (maybe jokingly) said that he can tell my parents...

I just got back from ODS, well actualy yesterday but then I had a counsler party to attend, which loads of fun. Plenty of stories but I'll share a few highlights.

after 2 nights in the Fab Four's headquarters, things ran smoothly, but one night, I was too tired for a group campfire so I headed off to bed. I got one side of the headquarters (the other members were girls) and I go to my room, turn on the light....remember that scene when Remy gets discovered for the first time by Lugi in Ratatouille? well I found a mouse crawling on my curtains, dashes round my stuff on the spare bed *eek* I grab my walkie talkie and cried: This Underdog, we got a situation on the Fab 4's headquarters. One of the YO staff (adults) answered, What's the prob?" I explained to them that I found a mouse in my room and I was afraid to enter the buliding again. Moses (the headmaster) comes up and sets some trap, the minute he enters the headquarters he sees me standin on the chair. Luckly we cleared up the situation cause the next morn, 3 more were caught, according to Noctura (a Fab 4).

Then on Thurs. (formal Night) I was choosen to do boating with the Columbia girls, we're in the middle of the lake and one of Fire Fly's girls asked me what I have to wear for dinner and I replied, then Fire Fly's like, "Let me see your nails", then she claims they got loads of work to do. The Girls were pressuring me and rallying the others to convince me (A 6th grade girl looked up to me) so that kinda made it harder. I gave in and the girls took me back to the shore, after a marvelous attempt of escaping, my nails got attacked by glow in the dark nail poish *laughs* I told 'em, "You owe me big time and this never leaves ODS" *laughs*

Ahhhh, I LOVE that soundtrack. I've never seen the show in person, but I had a friend get me the Soundtrack, while she was on the cruise. I could send you the songs, if you want...they're AMAZING!!!

Congrats to everyone on their GREAT grades

Mason_Ireton, I'm glad you had a great time in Disneyworld

Hey, it's been a while I think since I've been around...so I'll give a "short" update

Sorry to hear about that jerk Prudence, is there any way giving him the cold shoulder/silent treatment would work? Never argue with an idiot, first they drag you down to their level and then beat you with the experience. Of course hitting him with a slipcover could work just as well

I've finished my 2nd exam for Socials but haven't sent it off yet since it's been a monsoon out lately and the closest mailbox is.....too far away so it can wait, plus it gives me a chance to go over answers and double check the work.

Anyways....my friends boyfriend went missing yesterday Turns out he was at another girls, and the reason nobody could find him was because the power went out and he couldn't go outside in the rain I hinted he might be lying but didn't pursue the subject with my friend further.

Other than that things are crazy here, I lost my very large To Do list Last time I checked I had at least 30 things to do ........maybe I should stop typing and get on making a new list

have you ever had some of those days?

I mean the ones that could be the less logical although they often happen. You have everything you need, or at least you want and yet there's a little sadness growing in your heart.

You ask her for a hugh or at least a little word so you can feel better and....well...she tells you "can we talk later, I'm kind of busy doing some shopping"

well...sorry that I can babble a little more, I have to do some stuff and...just find something to make me feel better...

I need to vent about my school. Not too long ago, they implemented "multiple semester registration". If you have a 3.5 GPA or higher, you are allowed to register for 3 semesters at a time. I had a 3.4 GPA (it still could be a 3.4, I don't know), so when I registered for the classes I'm taking now, I couldn't sign up for my Spring 2008 classes. Apparently, today is the first day for the rest of us to register for Spring 2008 classes. Spring 2008 will (hopefully) be my last semester, and yet online it says that my enrollment appointment is November 1st?!?!?!?! I called the main operator at my school, and she put me through to Academic Services. The recording says that their office hours are Monday-Friday 8am...but no one answered, and it was 8:03 or 8:04. My school sucks sometimes...

**edit, 1:14pm** I just got a hold of someone at school- today is the day they're handing out enrollment appointments- November 1st is a perfect acceptable day to pick classes on.

I sometimes wish (more recently, anyway), that I could go back in time and "fix" things, or re-do things. I'm just not as happy as I should be. Things happened previously in my life that have continued affecting me to this day, and I just sometimes wish that I could go back and not do some things that I did, and do some things that I didn't do. I know that it's not possible to do, but I wish it could be possible.

(big bear hugh)
awww so sorry to hear that Blackcauldron
It's usual to feel that some things from the past still are a headache now,but sometimes we have just to let go and even not to forget why did we fell but accept and fight

Thanks, Isidour! (hug back!)

I guess it's hard to let go when it involves someone else and affects them now, too...It's hard to explain, I guess, but I just don't know what's going to happen in the future... ugh...

just the best so you can grow up and give your best (hugh) I assure you that (hugh)

(big hug to Amy)

My parents, they seperated 6 years ago, I was never told why and still don't know why. My Dad is still very much in love with my Mom and really wants to work things out, yet she barely even seems to care She's dated a couple of guys and both guys have had similarities to my Dad, so it makes me wonder if she still likes him but is too bloody proud to admit it Of course my Dad trys to get my Mom to come over and do stuff like watch a movie or have pizza, yet my Mom will say stuff like "no I don't feel good" or "not tonight I have a headache" yet she ends up going out with her friends drinking or to the casino I'm not sure what to do anymore, I wish she could see how much of an snob she is these days, but at the same time I don't want to hurt her

Ok, onto happier things now...........

Aww,Amy and Chernabog! *group hug*

Don't worry,be happy and things will brighten up.

Thanks for the hugs, and here's a hug for Chernabog_Rocks (*hug*).

C_R, is there any way that you could invite your dad over when your mom's not home, and then when she came home they'd have to eat some pizza together? It might be worth a try...?

And, I know that I stink at remembering names in real life, but everyone here knows my name, and I don't know most people's names...so sorry if I only can call you by your screenname.

Thanks for the hugs

I thought I had posted my name here before but after searching around turns out I haven't ^_^; My name is Shawn, most people usually spell it the other two ways which I'm used to since I have a cousin who's name is also Shaun

Anyways....I figure I'll just try and keep my Dad occupied with other stuff, maybe plan game night/movie nights etc. I've thought about just giving my Mom a piece of my mind, tell her I'm fed up and stay with my Dad for a while to let her sort out her priorities As of late I've made it a point to not be around if her friends are coming over.

Until things start working out, or until I have a better plan I'll just keep doing what I always do, sing and dance and watch Disney

sorry to hear that C_R,if it somehow helps I know how are thi affairs (my mom and dad separated like eight or nine years ago) but well...unlike yours they can't see each other...(yeah..."cowdodo" happen) maybe your mom isn't that arrogant but she's affraid of going back with your dad(why?, ask her) but at the same time misses him so she date very-alike-to-pappa guys
unfortunatelly isn't much that you can do right now, just wait perhaps...

babbling about me...
I'm writting a book right now as a gift to my girlfriend Paola, I'm not very sure if it will be a nice gift because it will be our hitsory since we jut met to...well...depends of the events beside I'll add some pictures of us and some drawings at the begining of each chapter(as the scholastic edition of harry potter) but...well...I have wrote just 8 pages from the first chapter and the prologe(spelling)

do you think this is a nice chritmass gift?
