Nothing Really, just sitting in computers.

Today is the first day of my computer course at school. We get to choose different electives in 9th grade, so I'm taking computers. The teacher is totally awesome and doesn't really care how we spend the 90 minutes of class. The only thing she hates is facebook, which is fine by me because I can't have facebook, anyways. The big one at home who buys us things and who allows me to watch her Harry Potter movies doesn't allow any of us to have facebook. She's such a hypocrite, though, because she spends so much time on it.

Hmm, so I haven't updated my blog in a while. A lot has changed- well, not a lot lot, but still, a lot. Like, Robin went to visit her family in Wisconsin supposedly, but then she came back in August as Felicity Merriman, her human animagus, if you will. Robin was Felicity before she was Robin, and I guess now she's Felicity again. We just shrug it off, because it's totally normal for dolls to change personalities and characters randomly with no explanation. We're all very meta.

So, with the loss of Robin, I had no best friend, but that's fine because now Christin is my friend. The only thing is that Christin has friends at school who are really too cool for me and so I can only hang out with her when she's at home. Robin was like that, too, but not as bad. Plus, her friends cared too much about either politics or volleyball/ cheerleading (whatever group she was with) to care much about Robin's nerdy friend.

A new girl, Rebecca Rubin, arrived over the summer. There isn't much I can say about her, because she's a Historical, and I don't talk much to them because we have nothing in common, but she's really girly and dramatic and other stuff.

Umph, I feel so guilty for not keeping up on blog posts. But it's so hard to be always blogging because I have nothing to talk about. I don't want to be like Hermione or Dumbledore and just be here to reveal things about the plot of my life. (Christin calls it exposition).

Paul McCartney is getting married for a third time soon. I hope it turns out better than his second marriage. I don't like her, especially because she tok so much of Paul's money in the divorce. Anyone who takes things from Paul McCartney or the Beatles sucks in my opinion (Michael Jackson, I feel no guilt about this because he took the rights to their music right from under Paul's nose.)

Better get going. There's no time left in class for tumblr pictures or anything...

lol there's always time for tumblr.

Except there's no pictures on tumblr.

Interview With Robin

Hey y'all! Today for my blog, instead of rambling on and on about myself like I always do, I have a very special guest, my best friend Robin McCarthy!

Why, hello there, Robin. How's it goinnnng??

Why, hello hello yourself, Lye. I'm goood. I suppose since this is your intervi

ew, you're going to ask how I am.

How are you?

I'm fine. I'm a tad nervous, though, because school elections for next year are coming up, and I'm currently brainstorming campaign slogans and whatnot.

What do you want to run for?

Ideally, I would like to run for Secretary so that I can work my way up to President by the time I reach Grade 12. However, I'll be a new-to-the-council sophomore next year, so I most likely will run for Grade Rep.

That sounds fascinating.

No need to get sarcastic, Delilah.

Other than aspiring to become Leader of the Free World, what are your other school-based hobbies?

Well, next September I want to join the cheerleading squad, and I'm demonstrating my interest currently by attending practices and acting as a "Junior Cheerleader". Its a very exclusive position: generally they only let 5 of the Junior Cheerleaders into the squad every year (there are 12 of us currently).

Again, fascinating.

Oh, you don't understand. I also want to

join the volleyball team next year, and the school newspaper, preferably as a columnist.

Too bad you didn't make it into the musical, otherwise you would have had control over all the departments. :)

...

Oh, look, I'm really sorry, Robin. I didn't mean it. I'm sure you'll make a great stage manager.

Junior Stage Manager. I'm only a freshman, Lye.

Junior, Nothing, what's the difference? Anyways, we only have a few moments left-

This isn't timed, Lye. You're just writing down everything I'm saying.

What sort of books do you like?

Oh, well, my favorite book is The Lovely Bones. I really don't have one sound explanation why, otherwise than I think it's a great book. Ha

ving read it three times, I've finally moved on to another book. I'm torn, however, between 1984 and A Clockwork Orange. I just can't decide.

...

Puck looks better without the mohawk, right?

Oh, no way. Mohawk all the way.

I disagree. He's just too tough and muscly to be a believable junior. Finn, on the other hand, can totally pull--

Not this again! I thought we already reached a settlement with Christin about this.

But Robin-

I'm going to go finish my English homework, Lye. See you at dinner.

Well, that was really awkward. Anyways, Robin used to be my second best friend, after Ivy. But after Ivy went all backstabby-stab on me and deserted me forever, I was stuck with Robin, who I thought had little personality. I also thought she was permanently stuck the 1990's, just like Ivy was in the 1970's, but Robin had this obsession with Madonna, which I thought was weird.

But as I got to know her better, she apparently didn't have any cult following over the 90's, and she was a normal girl. Well, I shouldn't really sa

y normal. To put it rudely, she's a really nice and awesome Nicki but with friends. Robin is really motivated and gets involved in school, which I guess in some ways is good for me, because it kind of makes me want to do the sam

e. I don't of course, unless they ever make a DA or an Order of The Pheonix at J.R. Dahling Jr/ Sr High. Anyways, this pretty much wraps up my blog for April 6th 2011.

My Song of the Day...

GET BACK, a really awesome Beatles song. Wikipedia says that it was released "on 11 April 1969, and credited to "The Beatles with Billy Preston.", who ever that is. I like "GET BACK" because it is awesome, and I like The Beatles. On my Favourite Songs Playlist of 18 songs, 10 of them are Beatles

Songs. Take that, haters.

My font has been messed up. My bad.

My Phrase-To-End-My-Blog of the Day...

Actually, when I googled 'haters gonna hate', I really liked some of the pictures. And I really like saying

"Haters Gonna Hate".

Haha, it's been less than a month since I've updated! Success!
But it can't be too long today, cause I've got to work on a book report. It seems like every class at J.R. Dahling Junior High, which is my school, is reading Shakespeare, and it is so stupid and I hate it. We're reading Macbeth in my English class (My homeroom/ math/art/pain-in-the-butt teacher Ms. Kingkos deciphered that I was "credibly intelligent enough to advance past Grade Nine English, and soar up to Grade 10 English." She also felt it was necessary to call this to attention in front of my whole class, and to announce to the class that I was very proud of this. She didn't even ask me how I felt.
So now, my Grade ten English teacher (Mr.Mentil (Yes, I am serious, his last name is 'mental', although poorly spelt.)) is making us not only read Macbeth, but also watch video clips for every scene, and act out each scene in front of the class. I don't know if you've read it, but Macbeth is basically all monologues. Especially everything that Lady Macbeth says. I swear, if Lady Macbeth says one more pointless and incomprehensible thing, I'll go to my grave swearing that Nicki is her re-incarnation. Nicki actually came up to me on Monday evening after supper to "provide several tips on how to improve your general personality." She then started to say stuff like "You read too much, but socialize too little" and "You still have to choose an out of school activity so that you can be a positive influence on our community", except with so many more adjectives. She then criticized how I doodle on "good homework paper" to draw cartoon characters. Well, sorry, but it isn't my fault that I am madly obsessed with Schroeder from Peanuts. I totally understand what he says and stuff. That Lucy is just a crab, and too sickly-sweet for Schroeder. She knows nothing about Beethoven, which is very annoying for Schroeder, I can imagine.
Ivy saw one of my Schroeder drawings a few nights ago. To my surprise, she knew exactly who it was. After convincing her that I did not draw it freehand (I trace my drawings off the computer screen.) I found out that she likes the Peanuts as much as I do! Though she likes Snoopy the best, which is totally okay. She says that her friend from San Fransisco, Julie, liked Lucy a lot. I hate Julie already.
She (not Ivy, the big person that could very possibly go insane and totally goAT-AT on all of us) is apparently moving. Ivy and I have decided that we do not like moving. Use your own imagination, because I am too tired to rant.
What else? Oh, She wants us to start thinking about summer camps and stuff. I'd like to maybe go and do a play at a camp, but only if Ivy will do it with me. She's also ordering some stuff from American Girl. I am crossing my fingers that there will be converse shoes. I love my red ones and all, but I really can't wear red all the time!! :S

Book I'm Reading: Macbeth. Urgh. See above for my thoughts on Macbeth. My teacher gives us so much to pre-read for homework, that I never have time for leisurely reading anymore.

Song I'm Listening To: I've gotten Ivy into The Beatles. She's heard of them, of course, but she's never really heard much of their songs. She and I have different time periods that we like best: Ivy likes the whole 1967's-ish kind of time, with Yellow Submarine and Sgt Peppers and all that, but I'm still for 1965 , with Help! and Rubber Soul and stuff. I just think Help! (The Movie) is so zany and wacky and I can't believe that I used the word zany.

One more note: 33 1/2 MORE DAYS UNTIL GLEE!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!! I'm going to force Ivy to watch it with me. I don't care if she gets an eye infection from watching it (The Historicals get really weird infections from touching/ seeing modern stuff for too long) because I know she'll like it.

Another note: The two new girls have come. One is from the 1900s, and I don't know her too well, but she reads a lot and dresses up sometimes in weird clothes. I should really get to know her better.
The other new girl is pretty cool. I can't remember how old she is, but she seems pretty cool. I think she's just a bit shy, because she's always playing with her pet dacshund (?). But while we had an Oscar party here, Ivy, the new girl, and I all opted to skip the ceremony (Boo! to the Academy for not giving any Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Narnia movies the Best Picture, and double Boo! for giving Movie!LOTR 3 a Best Picture. The book is WAY better.) and read She's book of Movie trivia. I never knew that James Cameron had made another movie before attempting to make Avatar. But his other movie has Loser Leo in it, and I despise him. On the other hand, he might drown on the boat. Maybe I'll watch it after all.

No scrapbook tonight cause I'm just way too tired.
