Some Things I Hate

I actually had a request to post this in my blog. So here we are. If a number is blank it's because it had to do with someone personally and could not be posted in a public blog.

This is a very listful day, isn't it? So these were written in a moment of angst.

1)I hate girls that scream/squeal at everything (racing, spiders, your-music-is-too-hardcore-for-little-pink-me) just to get a reaction out of guys.
2)I hate happy people.
3)I hate girls who giggle and act incredibly stupid around guys. What ever gave them any hint of the idea that this is cute and attractive? IT'S NOT.
4)I hate people who say "Merry Christmas!" and smile.
5)I hate bad acting. If you can't act, get out of the movies/off TV. Who put you in there anyway? Get them out too. You suck.
6)I hate sluts.
7)I hate guys who wear Abercrombie, American Eagle, or Hollister. Or Old Navy. They blindly follow idiot magazine "fashion" and have absolutely no idea who they really are.
8)I hate losers.
9)I hate people with screennames like "sexyangel9484" and "hottie17" and "prettykitty" and "spankme."
10)I hate people with screennames like "iampunkrock09" because that's the year you graduate, and "rockon606" and "punkrockchica" AND--THE ALL-TIME WORST--"pinkpunkprincess." Can I shoot you? I hate you! If you must verbally point out to us how "punk rock" you are, YOU AREN'T!
11)I hate people who's posts start out anything like this: "Omg, today was so frickin awesome and happy! My life is so great! Hung out w/ ashley, and tyler came over..." *puke*
12)I hate people who type emo.
13)But not as much as I hate people who type stupid. "what r u doin 2nite? cuz imma go get sum ice cream" god, you're stupid! No one cares!
14)I hate people who can't sing.
15) [This one was left blank originally]
16)I hate people who smell bad.
17)I hate people who think they're punk/hardcore/goth/emo/whatever when they are not. Gosh, go home to Abercrombie and Fitch, everyone KNOWS you're a poseur.
18)I hate love.
19)I hate bananas.
20)I HATE ANIME and VIDEO GAMES and XBOX and HALO and HALO 2 and PS2 and ALL PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT ANY OF THE ABOVE IS COOL.
21)
22)I hate surveys.
23)
24)I hate black people who think they're all African when the only African gene they got is the one that gave them their dark skin. If you don't know what country your family is from, you've got no business going around saying your African!
25)I hate white trash. It's so annoying. Just clean up and be normal!
26)I hate stupid bands.

Noteworthy Things I Have Done In The Past 24 Hours

Notice I said "noteworthy," not "interesting."

• Let a Gmail invite expire!!! ::dies::
• Went to a party at Addie's house--very odd.
• Invented a band: I told a bunch of people that I kissed "the bassist for XxcrossyourfingersxX" a long time ago. I totally made the name up on the spot, threw in all these details about venues and plugs and how cross your fingers wasn't even together anymore "I thought" and they ALL completely bought it, hook, line and sinker. No one got suspicious or even questioned the existence of this band! This could become a thing.... LOL
• Started listening to Copeland again at a normal frequent pace after a nearly four month ban.
• Stood breathing in the middle of downtown at midnight surrounded by piles of snow and wasn't cold.
• Slept till 1, fell back asleep and woke up again at 3.
• Looked at photos of some of the aftermath the tsunamis left, and TIME's "Year In Pictures." --very interesting.
• Talked to Amanda Owen. ^_^
• I think that's it.

Movies I Aim To Someday See (In No Particular Order) And A Survey

• Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind - bascially just insanity/insanity
• Moolaadé - the African tradition of "female circumcision"
• Maria Full Of Grace - human "mules"/heroin
• The Man In The Iron Mask - so it completely doesn't fit in, I still want to see it

I need to write Nico back. I think maybe I should write Josh too..... or..... whatever.

The High School Promenade

So this isn't a rant board, but I still did feel the need to dedicate an entire post to the topic. To most accurately explain to whoever's eyes may fall upon this, let me post a scene from a favorite movie of mine:

___________________________________
INT. SCHOOL COURTYARD - DAY

Kat and Mandella walk. Kat sees a prom flyer and tears it down as the flier posting girl watches.

PROM POSTER GIRL

Hey!

Kat doesn’t hear her and just keeps walking.

KAT

Can you imagine? Who would go to that antiquated mating ritual?

MANDELLA

(raises her hand)

I would. But I don’t have a date.

KAT

Do you really want to get all dressed up so some Drakkar Noir-wearing Dexter with a boner can feel you up while you’re forced to listen to a band that by definition sucks?

MANDELLA

Alright, alright. We won't go. It's not like I’ve got a dress anyway.

KAT

You're looking at this from entirely the wrong perspective. We're making a statement.

MANDELLA

(unconvinced and sarcastic)

Oh, goody. Something new and different for us.

___________________________________

Ok, so I am not that worried about making a statement. I just don't want to go. And I am not neutral on this topic. I really don't want to go. As in, I would fight to stay away from it.

And my dear sister has undertaken it to get me to.... go. Let's leave out the details because they are honestly not that interesting. ....................................... Ok, we're leaving off of this topic because the point of it is mostly: I really hate prom and don't want to go.

Ok, on second thought, second topic is just as pathetic. So let it just suffice to say any and all prom's are awful and meant as conversation gossip for preps, the brainless, and idiots and I don't know WHY anyone would ever want to go unless it was part of a Plan (youknowwhatImean) and you will not now or ever find me at one unless Brice Patterson is still going to wear a pink tux because that would just be a really funny and amusing ear-marker for my already-quite-warped high school years. Great!

Got that? Please stop asking, poking, and prodding. I will not be gracing a high school promenade with my presence. Not this year. Not next. Not ever. The End.

Used Up: A Message Of Doom - Part II

So it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. The Spanish holiday poster deal, that is. It kind of went like this:

(Diebler)"Angela? Poster?"
(Me) "No, I don't have it."
(Diebler)*gives me a not-so-serious tsk/tsk look*

End of story. So I lost about a test grade's worth of points. Not a big deal. I just didn't want her to yell at me; I could've done something that would've gotten me in big trouble.

Used Up: A Message Of Doom

So Angela didn't make her Spanish poster story last night. Which is due today, of course. Of course I could say this was because I was doing the dishes last night, or I had to go to bed early (all true), but in reality we've had like a week in a half to do this. In reality it is all my fault.

So I went to bed last night with my pajamas on inside out and praying for a snow day--there was already a nice white covering on the ground with temperatures dropping, so it looked promising. Well, as of 6:23 AM, all Buckeye Valley Schools are open and running on a normal time schedule. *puke* Uh-oh. What now? Should I even try to hurry and do it now? Let's see, 6:25....out of the shower by 6:35, another 20 minutes to be dressed and ready, that puts us at 55. Plus then there always the extra five minutes saved for things you thought you knew you had to do but didn't. That puts us at 7:00, giving me about 15 minutes to come up with idea for story, write story, translate to Spanish, draw pictures on poster, add sentences to poster. Fifteen minutes? Hmm... can't really see that happening.

Of course I can't. I am trying to think up every reason I can to prevent myself from even having to try to get some of this done. Not only am I just generally a lazy person, I hate school. Hate it. And I don't see why I should waste some of MY time on THEIR crap. No apologies, if I don't wanna do something, I'm not going to. Now of course there's exception to all this, but mostly, that's the rule.

Anyway, I suppose I would've had more time if I hadn't stopped to scribble in here, huh? *sigh* I miss late night-early morning typing sessions. I finished up the "boogey man in the CVS store" scene last night, and am now in the process of transitioning to get them back to the apartment, so I can stick in the bit I already wrote about Trev's roomie Wesley (he's pretty cool), add in some more stuff (Anberlin, baby names), and then finally rewrite the dream scene. Well, not finally, because there's still a load more to rewrite before I can even catch up to myself at the Starbucks scene, and after that a load more to finish the book. But getting that ^ dream sequence done will give me a sense of accomplishment, something I haven't felt since 11:30 November 30th.

6:36. I don't want to go. Crystal will be home tonight. I purposely block out other things that, although good, certainly spoil my mood. What mood? It's already way too far down the drain to be retrieved, and it's not even 7 AM. Gives me high hopes for the rest of the day.

I don't know what to wear for Julian. At least I've got money for tix this time around. I could wear one of those stripey-shoulder-less shirts, but not without goth pants, I don't think. Which I could head straight to the mall and get if I could find that huge stash of money that just mysteriously disappeared the night me and Crystal cleaned my room, and if Mom would not immediately make me turn around and take them back the moment she saw them. Blah. I hate mothers. But back to the subject, is it even worth trying? I am already sort of an ugly person, but standing next to Crystal standing next to JULIAN.... uff, let's not even go there. But I will be happy just to be out of the house and seeing The Academy, so it shouldn't damper my mood too much. Especially if Crystal gets us hooked up with the guest list for the show on the 28th. ;) Cross your fingers.

Oh! Emo title! xXcrossxXyourXxfingersXx Ah, sorry, couldn't resist. I kind of like that actually. Reminds me how I need to come up with at least a WORKING TITLE for my novel. Oof. Things these days. I have come up with some possibilities, you know, it's just most of them sounds very YA. I hate YA. But we'll save that for a rant board sometime. Just like Joe Porterfield. I mean, saving it for a rant board. Don't even get me started, blah, I hate that kid.

Anyway!! I should really get my butt moving. But talking about my novel and The Academy Is really helping me feel a bit better already. Even though I know what evil conclusion awaits me 6th period. Ah don't worry. One (or two or three or four) missed Spanish assignments won't ruin your life. However if you kill yourself over a holiday poster, that will ruin your life. Obviously.

Ok, ok, I'm getting in the shower, I swear! :D
