Does anyone recognize this? This is the beauty that is the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Something I have tickets to go see on Saturday, November 20th. :) TSO is the only Christmas music I will tolerate any time of the year. Of course the yearbook staff has been harassing me by playing other Christmas music in the pressroom since the first of November...
Which brings me to the fact that I haven't blogged since then either. This week has been so crazy busy it's ridiculous. Tuesday was the start of Yearbook worknights. That means school from 7:30am until 6pm. I left a little earlier, around 5pm, because I had my work done completely and had no reason to be there anymore, but regardless it was a long day. As soon as the bell rang to end school, Shelby and I booked it to my car to go pick my sister up, drop her off at my house, and then go pick up the sushi we had ordered for ourselves and about 8 other yerds. The entire order was nearly $100. After already being exhausted from the long day, I had to come home and work on homework and it was already 6pm by the time I was done with dinner and all settled. Of course somehow I wasn't tired enough to not watch Inception with ShawnSteve.
Wednesday morning was hard. I really really didn't want to wake up. But with such a full day the day before, why not just sleep a little more? Yeah well I almost slept over my alarm... It was one of those loopy days, where you're not really paying full attention to your classes because you're so tired. Somehow I'm not tired in the classes that I don't need to pay attention to, but come AP English, I'm fighting myself to keep my head up. But while I'm sitting there not absorbing anything school related, I think of other things that are only important to me RIGHT THEN. This time, it was the matter of telling Marina, my friend that sits next to me in English, this story about my 13th birthday.
At 13, the Jewish tradition says you're officially a man or woman. At 15, the Mexican tradition says you're officially a woman. For some reason I decided to participate in the 13th birthday tradition. My celebration consisted of me bursting out of my room that morning, sprinting down the hallway, and shouting, "WOO! I AM OFFICIALLY A MAN!" I didn't quite get at the time that I could have also been a woman.
As I told this story to Marina, I realized that this cursed me for 3 years later. When I got my license in the mail, I passed it to my mom. I was super proud of myself, I didn't need to look at it. My sister glanced over her shoulder says, "Why does it say you're a guy?" That was the curse fulfilling itself... I've been a man for over a year now...
When I got home from my loopy day at school, the first thing I did was turn on my computer and flop down on the bed. I noticed an email from my mom saying "Don't make plans on November 20" and I opened the email but got distracted with facebook. Eventually when I actually looked at the email, I realized that it was a copy of the tickets my mom bought for the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert on the 20th! Every time over the last few years that I've wanted to go to this, I've been out of state. I'm stoked :)
Then I went to SteveShawn's for a while, came home. And ate the most amazing invention ever. Individual sized Haagen-Dazs containers of mango sorbet. I was quite pleased.
Now, my week has already been packed full of deadline and random other things. But here was Friday. Fridays are like "OMG I'M GONNA WAKE UP BECAUSE I CAN SLEEP IN TOMORROW!" Except for when you have to wake up earlier than normal that Friday because you're being awarded for doing well in school. This is how I ended up with about 30 minutes less of sleep and actually eating breakfast food at the Renaissance breakfast.
Of course, Friday couldn't be that simple. I also had an AP Bio test last period. So I used my first period TA to study. Then I skipped the rally to study as well, and had to obtain my Academic Block later. Next was AP English which I actually researched for my research paper. But then was lunch, which I used to study. And then yearbook... also used to study. Then the test.
About 12 questions in to the 65 question test, I was tired. I've only actually fallen asleep during a test once, but I don't think this would have been a good time to do that. I finished the test with 10 minutes to spare.
After school was out, Shelby and Chris got in the car for rides home and Shelby was like "I'M ANGRY!!!!" So Chris and I listened to her be angry.
And then apologize for it.
I love Shelby :)
And today I had a massive tickle war with SteveShawn. I'm pretty sure I won. Even though I have like 50 bruises on me now.
ALSO! It's Daylight Savings Time in 1 hour. So we get to "Fall" back an hour :) I'm super excited. I like being deceived by time to think that I actually have an hour more to sleep. It's a good feeling. It's of course ripped away from me in the Spring, but it's Fall right now. I'm okay with sneaky deception.
Good night! :)
EDIT: Michaela reminded me that I scared her tonight. When I got home, I saw that her computer room light was on. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to scare her. I walked up to it and lightly with my fingertips tapped on the glass. Her cat noticed and immediately went O_O at me. I made the tapping noise louder bit by bit and eventually Michaela noticed that Stinky was looking at something, saw me, and made a strange squeak/scream noise. This made Stinky jump off the chair and run into the hallway. THEN he took the "I WILL FIGHT OFF ANYTHING IN YOUR WAY OWNER" stance. Michaela was not pleased. I was amused.
Good night for real this time :)
