I'm baaack :)

Sorry it's been so long that I've written anything. Do I have lots to talk about? Eh, I mean I could probably cram a bunch of shit in here, but I don't feel like it and I'm sure no one would care to read it.

Today was my first day back to school from Spring Break. Three letters:

W
T
F

I'm so ready to be done with this garbage. It's remarkable how 7 hours can feel like an eternity. But all in all, today turned out to be a good day because Melisse has decided to go to FSU with me! :D

Also, I had a job interview today and it turns out that by next week I'll be an employed worker for Joanne's Fabrics. :D

So I think that today, I won.

Winner

So last Thursday my friend Melisse was named as a winner of the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition (that contest I was talking about earlier). For those that don't know, it's kind of the biggest competition in art for people our ages. She and I both one Gold Keys (highest honor) at the local level, and then they go on to be judged in New York at the national level. They chose two photography portfolios to be given Gold Keys at the national level, and hers was chosen as number one. For this she gets:
-10,000 dollars
-A free trip to New York to do workshops and meet other artists
-Her work displayed in Carnegie Hall

It's amazing, that she received such an award, and I'm really proud (jealous) of her.

When I told my mother the news her exact words were: "Oh that's great! I guess you didn't win then..." Good ol' mom, boosting the confidence daily. :)

Mood Swings

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. My internet went out, and I just got it back yesterday. Pretty much my weekend was the usual, I hung out with my friends, we mostly stayed in and played Rock Band.

Unfortunately, Jon's been getting on my nerves more and more. He's really moody, and it's just annoying have to work around his moods every weekend. I kind of think it's just me being me, but even he acknowledges that he's been "Queen of Mood Swings."

Isabella is constantly reminding me that Jon and I are similar, which I don't like. I mean, I know we share a lot of traits, but I'd like to think I'm a more positive, less moody person. Hopefully.

One of the things I like most about my blog is that none of my friends know about it, so I can talk freely without being pressured not to hurt anyone's feelings.

Whatever, anyway, tomorrow I get out of school early for a field trip. That art contest I submitted to last week is doing a showing of all the pieces so I might be able to see if I won anything. Here's hoping. A few of my friends submitted too, and I really hope that they won. I won something last year and it's really uplifting to have your work recognized and appreciated.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Perhaps I'll have something real to say tomorrow, instead of bitching.

Oh, P.S., the new Owen Pallett album came out last week. If you haven't heard it, look it up, it's really good I promise.

Also

Also, I figured I'd give a description of my friends, so that when I talk about them anyone reading this isn't totally lost. Okay, here goes:


Isabella (Wrinkles): I've known her since I was 11, so about seven years. We weren't really good friends until freshman year. She was a really big mess back then, and so I sort of told her that I was going to fix her, and now she's stylish and beautiful. And almost a real person. I call her Wrinkles just because I thought the name was cute. Anyway, she's really thin and she has long brown hair. She's Brazilian and she speaks Portuguese, Spanish and English. She says silly things a lot of the time and she's often the butt of every joke. I also have this really creepy ability to know exactly what she's thinking before she even thinks it. I guess you could say she's my best friend.

Carla: Carla's a really strong minded girl, who I became friends with my Freshman year. We often think and say the exact same things (we call each other brain twins, I know it's stupid. It's from a book, don't judge). Anyway, she's at college now, which I think is for the best because she and I were getting into a lot of fights over the summer. I think it's because we both try and push each other to be people we're not.

Kelsey: I also met her in my Freshman year. She's really ridiculous and dresses really strangely, but she's a lot of fun. Well, most of the time. She's got severe anxiety/stress issues and is bipolar so sometimes she's not that fun to be around.

Melisse: She's a really funny girl and she has a bushy head of blonde curls. She has a problem with saying things before she thinks about it, which usually lends itself to hilarious results.

Jon: Jon is Isabella's boyfriend. We play this game though where we tell people that I'm Jon's boyfriend, or that he, Isabella and I are all dating, (people still aren't sure if it's true or not). He also kisses me sometimes (not behind Isabella's back or anything, we're always polite enough to do it in front of her ;D). It's kind of weird, but I guess it's nice to at least have a guy pretend that he's into me.

Terrence: Terrence is really fun. He and I often quote ghetto black girls together. He's a really genuinely nice person, and is probably the antithesis of me (I'm heartless and evil). Everyone thinks that he's gay except for him. People also say that he has a crush on me, but he thinks he's straight. He's kind of the most flamboyant guy I've ever met though. Ever. I think he's just hiding his real feelings because he's a strict Baptist. (He was convinced that sexuality is a choice until I convinced him otherwise).

James: James is the most kind hearted person I've ever met in the whole world. He's really generous and giving. And he's rich. :)

Adam: The most awkward person ever.

That was a lot more than I planned on writing. But hopefully you guys will have an idea of who I'm talking about when I say these names now.
