I am so not a happy camper right now. But, seeing as my mother insists on being Nazi-like today, I will have to finish posting this later after I do something that actually means something in life... such as measuring something the basement.

Really? WTF, mother?

Well... much later... we're going to Wausau today. To check out the 2 year school there, see what options I have for Spring so I don't drive myself abso-fuckin-lutely insane with my parents. My baby is also getting a haircut. I'm kind of sad about that because he's fluffly right now and I think he looks cute when he's fluffy. Parents think he just looks like a giant ball of white fur, which he does, but it's not nearly long enough to make him look like a miniature sheep dog or anything. He's just... a little ball of white short fluff. Insanely cute. I'll try to get some before and after pictures up... sometimes it can be quite comical. And since we're going to Wausau, I'm going to attempt to try and convince my mother to drop me off at Barnes and Noble for a book... or a DVD set of my favorite TV show but she doesn't need to know that part :D Best be getting ready... we're supposed to leave around 9:30 and she just jumped in the shower now. It's 9:08. We'll see what happens.

*le sigh*

Wow... it's been a long three weeks. Basically got kicked out of school because the guy in 'office of student success' is a dick. Office of student success, my ass. Apparently I was failing all three classes and there was no way I'd be able to raise any of my grades up to a passing grade by the end of semester. Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence.

Good god... that was a terrible call. Sorry, watching the Badger game at the same time I'm writing *grins sheepishly*

Halloween was pretty fun. I went out to Old Mill with my parents since my cousins were going to be there. I got to wear my costume and I got to use massive amounts of spray glitter, which was good fun. Although it didn't come out of my hair for three days... even with multiple showers :) Anywho... my crazy cousins dressed up as Elvis and Priscilla Presley. My older cousin was Elvis and the younger one... was wow. He had this dress on that reminded me of Minnie Mouse, a black wig, make--up (with eye liner and everything), fishnet stockings and high heels. I have a picture and I'd love to post it at some point but I have yet to figure out to get it off my phone and onto my computer.

Went to GB yesterday to check out the school there. I quite liked it, fairly small campus and all the education buildings are connected so when it's winter and the crazy weather is going on I don't have to wander about outside too much. Unfortunately, the dorms and food buildings are NOT connected... which means freezing in order to get food.

Am currently not feeling well, which sucks because I've been doing so good. Might have pink eye, which sucks even more. Ooh, also? Cut my leg with a chainsaw on Wednesday. Not the actual cutting part, but there's this metal plate by the end of the blade that's got these pointy things on it that you use to steady the saw on whatever it is you're cutting? Yeah, was jumping off the back of the tailgate with it and it hit my leg when I landed. Three nice cuts in my leg and a giant bruise there as well. It's lovely. Um, got to go to Kools last night (the local 'community center' as my dad calls it, it's a bar) and played pool with my sister and parents. 'Twas good fun.

Also, since I haven't been on here in a while, there is something I need to take care of before I leave this for today. November 12 was the birthday of two AWESOME people and though I don't converse with anyone on here enough to really have the right call them 'friend', they ARE awesome so lieutenantwitch and veronamay : HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you, girls!

sooo......

yeah, going to Yell Like Hell for homecoming? probably not the smartest idea. my throat hurts even more. 'twas fun, though, which is what counts. our game is tonight, and i was planning on going but since i'm sick and smarter than i was last night i decided i probably shouldn't go. *pouts* i want to... as i've yet to see one of our games. which is kind of sad, but we haven't really been going the greatest but hopefully we'll win tonight against Illinois College. GO PIOS! (and yes, sadly enough, our school colors/symbol are the same as the chicago bears.  those copy-cating bastards...)

( (funny story, actually...) )
i snagged this from dark_princess17 and i decided that this also looked like fun so without further ado...

BuddyTV Personality Quiz - Which Supernatural Angel Are You?

my favorite teacher in school?  hmm, not sure where to begin...

well, in elementary school it was miss kaiser, my fifth grade teacher.  she was awesome, we had pizza parties and holiday parties and since we were out in the trailer with one of the other fifth grade classes (it was temporary, they were remodeling the school), we had fun contests every so often.  she taught us how to use checks by having us earn 'money' through little tasks we were assigned throughout the week and then when we had 'market days' we were able to buy passes that let us do certain things whenever we wanted to use them.  there were passes that let you bring candy or soda into the classroom, you could sit at the teacher's desk for the day, teacher's assistant, free homework pass, free quiz pass, and my favorite was the jackie chan pass.  jackie chan was our class hamster and you could have him sitting at your desk with you for the day.  it was a lot of fun.  after i 'graduated' and was heading on to middle school, she called me during the summer, because i was nervous about the transition to a new school.

in middle school it was mr. grubbs, hands down.  mr. grubbs was my 6th grade language arts and reading teacher.  he was a younger teacher, like miss kaiser, and he was just so energetic!  we had this thing in 6th grade that because it was a new experience for us we would spend the last hour of the day on tuesdays and thursdays with our language arts teacher so i had him four hours on some days.  he was such an amazing guy all around, not to mention some of us had crushes on him, lol.  fridays he would always do a handstand the last 10 seconds of class, and we always tried to get him to go longer and longer to see how long he could hold one.  it was great.  and when i got sick and was in the hospital, he got all the kids in my class to make a 'get well soon' card and always pulled me aside at the end of the week to ask how i was doing.  even before i had gotten real sick he noticed something wasn't quite right with me and always made sure to ask if i was okay.  he was such a great teacher.  and i know the school is huge and he sees hundreds upon hundreds of kids every year but i went back my freshman year of high school to visit (that's three years after i had last seen him) and he still recognized me.  i changed a lot from 6th grade to freshman year.

my favorite teacher from high school...well i have two because i went to two different high schools.  from PR it's miss linde, hands down.  she was a younger teacher, again, so i think she still remembered what it was like to be in high school and be a freshman.  she was my english teacher, which is one of my favorite subjects because i ADORE reading and writing.  we had a poetry session, which didn't really turn out the way i liked because around the time we started it i found out we were moving, so most of it was pretty dark.  but i loved the way she had us do book reports and the way she taught through the books we read, romeo and juliet especially.  a few of the other times my english teachers did shakespeare they read a paragraph and then had us translate it into modern english.  it was really slow and teadious.  miss linde did kind of a word search, where she had the definitions and we had to fine the words, or she'd do crosswords the same way and then read through the passages.

from AHS, it's mr. blood.  no contest whatsoever.  blood was my homeroom teacher, which means i saw him every morning for three years in a row.  he was another fun-loving, down to earth, just an all around awesome person.  he was a bit odd, but i think that's what i liked most about him.  he really loved getting to know his students and treated them as equals if they earned that from him.  i felt very comfortable with him and i knew i could go to him for any reason and he'd try to help out if he could, or find a way to get me help.  some people didn't like the way he taught but i thought it was so much fun.  we'd start out on topic and then something would come up where he veered off-course for a little bit but then came back.  i liked it because then i could associate whatever we were learning with whatever little tangent he had gone on about.  he was also in charge of drama club, so i spent a hell of a lot more time with him than any of the other kids in the school.  we still keep in touch now that i'm at school and i visit him whenever i'm in town.  he takes an honest interest in what his students are doing and offers advice freely, letting you take it and do whatever you like with it.  he's a real mentor for me, and i'll never be able to fully express how grateful i am for his enthusiasm through my years at AHS.  he made an imprint on my life and i will forever be thankful to whatever powers that be that he so happened to have my section of my class for homeroom.

hmm... let's think about that for a second...


giving up privacy is so not a fair price to pay for being famous!  it's not even close to fair, not to mention against the constitution!  most celebrities are just doing what they love, acting and singing and it's unfortunate for them that people want to know the most intimate details about them.  people who make their own tv shows give up that privacy right all on their own, but there are those who just want to do what they do and be left alone.

i recently heard on the radio about some paparazzi climbing over the wall of george clooney's house in italy and snapped some pictures of a 13 YEAR OLD GIRL CHANGING IN HER BEDROOM!!  it's absurd that society has come to this that people will actually sneak into someone's yard and take disgusting pictures like that just to appease the american public.  it's disgusting and i feel terrible for the stars that this happens to.

so yes, some parts of celebrities lives should be off limits to the public, we all have our secrets and we all want certain parts of our lives kept a secret.  even though they are celebrities they're still human!!  and no, giving up one's privacy is NOT a fair price to pay for being famous.
