GSA Halloween Dance

A really great dance, almost, but not really as good as the CTY dances.

It was sponsered by the GSA so everybody was crossdressing but it's really an uncreative and sucky costume. Especially if you aren't willing to wear enough to makeup to look like a prostitute/really look like a guy. I had my last JV volleyball game right before so I was wearing my spandex(ridiculous) and kneepads and everything. I wore this like formal-ish dress for my costume and my sports bra was completely sticking out and I still had my spandex on for most of the dance. Oh well, lol.

It was pretty awesome. These two guys were making out and were totally all over each other in the middle of the dance floor, that really screamed GSA. lol. They played really good music, really good music to dance like a slut to. XD I usually don't like rap and hip-hop but you cannot really dance to metal, you can only really headbang and your neck gets tired fast. Umm, they had strobe lights and that was happy.

Oh yes, the Drama club had a party upstairs at the same time and the improve troupe performed which was awesome. (It's like whose line is it anyways? If any of you guys have watched that show).

lol!

like 3 of u have the same question in ur profiles....wow that has probably already been established, but i haven't been around for a bit. take pity...

personally, i'd wear my BRIGHT ORANGE SPIKES if i had to go to a ball with an orange wooly jumper. then i would step on ppl who make fun of me, ANNDD it'd match the jumper. yup.

Memory of the week #13

Okay, who remembers the seating order? Starting with me and working clockwise, it was Monica, Greg, Alydaar, then Laura and Justine sat next to each other but I can't remember who came first...then a small space then Kendall, then Chetna, then Kelly, then Miranda in the corner...then Moose, Lily, Amy, Kathy. And Hannah was either between Lily and Amy or Amy and Kathy. I think. Yeah, correct if I'm wrong. And of course we switched around sometimes...but I *think* this is how it was the majority of the time, right?

Hey guys! whats up? Not much going down here in upstate new york. are you guys going to the reunion? I don't know if i will. Its really hard to keep posting a lot! I haven't even posted on my blog for almost a month! Okay can't wait for HAlloWEeN! YAYETH!

Long time....no keys....blogger keys, at least

hahaha im not...i like, stopped a couple years ago, then went in 7th grade, and i actually put together this little red riding hood thing last year, but i didnt wanna go with my neighbors, cuz they wre all guys and wicked tall and i'd be looking up at them and being like, "GOSH DONT HOG THE CANDY" and they'd beat me up, cuz they both play football. lolz.

Rant

The buses are stupid. I just got home like three minutes ago because of this, and I'm ready to hurt someone. Okay, not really, but I'm still mad. See, after track I uslually take either the 4:30 bus if I can make it in time, or the 5:00 bus if I can't. So today I got there at 4:34 and I'm like grrrrr, because this means I won't get home until 6. So I went to Dunkin Donuts, got a hot chocolate, and sat outside in the freezing weather in only my sweatshirt waiting for the bus. At 5:05 I called my mom because I realised...the bus was NOT COMING. That's happened to me with the 4:30 bus a couple of times, but at least then I can still catch the 5:00 bus. My mom couldn't pick me up though, 'cause she had a dentist appointment. So I wait for *another* half hour for the 5:30 bus, and I was so cold my hands turned pink and started to feel numb. The bus finally came (5 minutes late, too) but now it's 6:45. That's just WRONG. I mean, what if someone seriously had to get somewhere as soon as possible? How can a bus just randomly NOT come? This is why the buses are stupid.

Okay, done with the rant. I just had to get that out. Right, so the overnight thing in Rhode Island was very fun...well, except for the actual race. That was just painfull. And exceedingly muddy, being that it rained on friday, which was when we ran the course for practice -- and were completely gross afterwards...the mud puddles came up to my knees in places. Still, it was fun. The hotel was pretty, and it was like a big sleepover. Even the bus rides were fun...11 hours spent on that bus... got to know everyone on there very well...

And my science project is due the day after halloween. How much does that suck?

200th post!!! Interesting article.

Interesting article. My friend sent it to me and I sent it around. I thought it related to what Kelly posted. And..... IT"S THE 200th POST!!!!!!!!!



ALL I wanted was a pair of mouse ears. It is Halloween season, and to the
delight of my children, I promised to dress up as the country mouse. I was
a recent transplant to rural life, so it made sense. Besides, I already
owned the overalls and the flannel shirt. I just needed the ears. And maybe
a wedge of plastic cheese.


So my girls, 4 and 6, and I went to Target, which has much better lighting
than Wal-Mart — and Isaac Mizrahi. It wasn't long before I discovered that
the only ears on offer at the Target Festival of Fright were of the "sexy
cat" variety. Sexy cat is fine if you are in your 20's, unimaginative and
trying to persuade people that you possess latent feline qualities. As I am
neither latent nor in my 20's, I continued down the Adult Costume aisle.


I walked past the displays for the sexy devil and the sexy bunny and the
sexy leopard — which, confounding logic, was already sold out — before
happening upon the wall of full adult costumes. The first was Tavern Lady,
an off-the-shoulder dress and faux-leather vest. It was followed by French
Maid (ruffled mini-dress with matching headpiece), Cheerleader (pleated
micro-mini and fitted vest) and Wonder Woman, which had not only a nearly
invisible skirt but also red vinyl boot covers that reached to the thigh.


At $49.99, Wonder Woman was among the priciest costumes, along with the
Geisha — both $20 more than Stewardess, which consisted only of a polyester
wrap dress with a plunging neckline.


A quick trip to Wal-Mart and Kmart revealed the same dubious selections.
While the hemlines were slightly lower on the Kmart French Maid and
Cheerleader, Wal-Mart hewed to form with a saucy Red Riding Hood and a
naughty rag doll, advertising a "sultry vinyl bodice and thigh highs ...
lollipop not included."


A theme was emerging. And it wasn't Halloween. Since when did Halloween
costumes become marital aids? The hobo has turned into the Hillbilly Honey.
The traditional vampire is now the Mistress of Darkness. I have nothing
against playing erotic dress-up, or even mass-market fetishism. I'd just
prefer it didn't converge with a family holiday (and wasn't sold next to
the dryer sheets). If you want to play cheerleader at home, go team. But
trick-or-treating with your children in anything featuring latex and
cleavage seems like a little too much trick.


And really, wasn't Halloween the one day modern women could relax about
looking hot? What if I just want to be a mummy sans yummy?


I noticed that on the outside of every package was a photo of a woman
modeling not only the costume, but teetering heels and bras of the push-up
variety. The First Lady costume was not, as one might expect, a red
business suit, but a pink crepe mini-dress. At least it had the matching
pillbox hat. The angel was dubbed "heaven's hottie." Even the witch had a
slit up her tattered skirt.


My girls were confused. "Where are the monsters?" they asked. "Where are
the superheroes?" I pointed weakly to Wonder Woman and her thigh-high
boots. "She's pretty," said my 4-year-old. Before adding, "You can see her
breasts."


As I watched them scan the selections, soaking in the unspoken message, I
remembered my freshman year in college, going to a Halloween party dressed
as a pumpkin. My face was painted orange. My torso was covered in fabric
stuffed into a wide, round orb. It was not seductive. And it hadn't
occurred to me that it should be. There were no adult pumpkin costumes in
the superstores. No vegetable costumes of any sort.


We moved along the aisle. I casually searched for the male equivalent of
the Stewardess. Perhaps a Hot Fireman costume? Or maybe Handyman? But there
was no Pool Boy. No Sexy C.E.O. There were, in fact, very few men's
costumes at all. A gorilla. A generic monster. A handful of serial killers.


We gave up on the mouse ears. Walking back, I noticed in the middle of the
boas and six-inch heels and fishnets hung a Nun costume. It was a
floor-length robe with modified wimple. Unlike the other ensembles, which
offered bust and hip measurements, it was one size fits most. The price: a
modest $9.99. According to the Target Web site, it is a best seller.
Probably among men.

Halloween!

I'm going to complain about the store selection of costumes.

a) All of them are named Sexy (whatever), Sexy Construction Worker, Sexy Bee, Sexy Grandma

b) SLUTTY, self explanatory, I would like to purchase a costume that doesn't leave my boobs hanging halfway out, thank you very much.

c) COLD, how am I supposed to walk 2 miles trying to get obscene amounts of candy in a minidress with a plunge neckline?

d) I don't want to see 10 other people in regurgitated versions of my costume.

"I'm a SEXY GOTH PIXIE FAIRY!!"

"Well I'm a SEXY VAMPIRE GOTH ANGELIC FAIRY!!"

You both look the same, shut up.

===================

I don't know WTH I'm going to go as anymore.

Pumpkin Picking!

Heyall.

I went pumpkin picking today with my dad and little sister. It was fun, we got three pumpkins that we're carving tomorrow. We also got mulled cider and apples. I was experiementing with my dad's digital camera and the Sepia and Black and White options on it. I took some pretty cool pictures and they should be on my flickr soon.

I'm taking the SATs again on January 27th. Fun fun fun. Apparently there's lots of geometry on it that I just didn't know last year and I'm taking geometry this year so hopefully that'll help my math score.

I went canoeing yesterday with my friend! It was really fun except that we were being pretty stupid cuase we kept getting up and walking around. We managed not to tip the boat over though. Tonight my stepmom made apple pie and the briscut and then we're going to have a fire so that should be fun too.

Have any of you heard of NaNoWriMo? It's this really cool thing where a bunch of people just write straight for the month of November. Anyone who has a 50,000 word story by the end of it goes in the hall of fame. I think I'm going to try and do it this year, although I doubt I'll be able to get 50,000 words. I already have a story planned out. I think you guys should try it and look it up. Oh... and NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month.

So that's about it. Look on my website, flickr, or livejournal for more specificed stuff everyday.

GO BACK TO SLEEP

Don't fret precious I'm here,
Step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice
And other poison devils
See, they don't give a fuck about you,
Like I do

Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep...)
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep...)
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep...)

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go to sleep [x14]

Hello. >.> <.< Pointless post.

Brownie points for anyone who knows this song.

menory of the Week #12 (I think)

Remember the gnome hole? That was under Cino (a.k.a. the gnome tree). And we poked a stick down the gnome hole once, and it came up wet because the gnomes spit on it 'cause they were mad at us for poking a stick down their home.

To update all you peeps on mah life

Hey guys, I haven't really posted anything since the summer and I owe you guys a big post. Hrm. Let's start with the boring crap first. I am in my freshman year of high school now and basically the upperclassmen strike DEEP FEAR into my heart. Yeah, most of them are nice though, it's just a lot of unfamiliar faces who are much larger than you.

I'm on the volleyball team and the debate team. Which is going to be a problem because debate eventually sucks your soul out and replaces it with rebuttals and counterplans. Volleyball, I'm on JV. So that's pretty good, as a team though we don't exactly own.

Uh, high school, oh boy where do I start. Lexington High is like a stoner school, there's no better way of putting it. I haven't gone to any of the dances yet but basically my friend spent an entire dance checking if anyone had spiked the punch yet . lol

Sitting behind a stoner in science, is an interesting experience because he carries as least 3 lighters on his person at any one time. Talks about getting high almost constantly and is generally a dull person because all he talks about is weed.

I have been hearing rumors about like, high school parties and the like. Much booze. Many smashed people. Many sketchy things going on in bathrooms if you know what I mean.

I got contacts!!! AND I DYED MY HAIR FUSCHIA. It's more like red though, the package totally lied to me.



Here I am now. Yuppers. Any of you have facebook, search me up and friend me.

I dress like a hipster or a fake skater most of the time there days. VANS ROCK.

BUT NOT IF YOU'RE AT A TRACK MEET.

lol, more updates later guys.

STUFF

Did you know that the 100th post was on August 25, only 3 weeks after cty ended? AND, did you furthermore know that we are only reaching the 200th post now, like 7 weeks later? Actually, you did know that last part, 'cause Miranda just pointed it out. But STILL. This is *proof* we're slowing down -- people are posting less than half as often as they used to. Either that, or half as many people are posting. Maybe it's a mixture of the two. I don't know.

Anyways, it rained today...so I had to run in the rain...and I got wet. REALLY wet. Actually, I didn't even have to run, but if I didn't I'd have to run on sunday and I have better things to do on the weekend. Nobody *else* seemed to have anything better to do, though, so they all chicken out and I ended up running with sophmores 'cause the rest of the freshmen left (except one but she's insanely good, like she ran a JV race and came in 40-somethingth out of like 400 people, so I really can't keep up with her). But I'm just dedicated like that.

So really I should be studying for the PSAT tommorrow, but I'm procrastinating. It's not really the sort of thing you can study for anyway. And we get our report cards soon...my school has SIX marking quarters. Actually I guess it would be more like six marking sextesters or something...whatever. And I'm wondering how I did. Like everybody else's teachers gave them their grades, but (of course) none of mine did...

AND, remember when I mentioned the really awesome overnight track meet in rhode island that only the top 7 freshmen get to go to? I'm going *does happy dance*!!! We get to stay in a pretty hotel with room service and a pool (and a jacuzzi but supposedly it's bad for our legs or something so my coach said no jacuzzi). That's this weekend. We leave Friday after second period (which means all I go to is band and gym!) and don't come back til saturday night...it's gonna be fun.

What else...I *really* don't want to go study...oh, this weekend I volunteered at richmondtown, where my madre works. It's a historic village place, so I got to where an 1860's dress with a hoopskirt and a bonnet and I was freezing but it was fun. I ran the costome area, so I spent the whole time helping people (mainly little girls) try on dresses and stuff. I get to do a lot of stuff there...service credits. Good stuff.

And my little sister is currently going through the whole choosing a middle school process. She and my mom are at an open house for SI academy right now...which is a *prep* school (I find that funny). See, me, I just went to the middle school closest to us. And it wasn't all that great, so I guess my parents learned their lesson or something...

And I guess I really ought to go study now because I fully intend on watching Gilmore Girls at eight, giving me 16 minutes + commercials.

Almost to 200!

Heyall!
We're almost to 200 posts. Lets get there before our blog completely falls apart. Pretty please? With... sugar on top? Yeah, I realize that I haven't done much either because of all the stuff I've been doing.

I've been doing SO much piano practicing. I'm playing like five different pieces right now. I also have, of course, been overloaded with homework. Why do they do this?!?!? Evil.... My history teacher is the best though, he's also the principal but he's one of the best I've ever had. I've also played 2 games so far in Field Hockey, we drew one and lost one. Our next game is this thursday.

I'm also in three choirs and band in school, two of the choirs meet before school (one actually meets tomorrow.) I'm also auditioning for a fourth but I'm not sure if I'm going to get in because the teacher wants people who really aren't in many other ones.... and I'm in all the ones possible.

Ummmm..... Not much else...... Oh! My little sister turned 5 like a week ago and her party was yesterday. I had to baby sit her tonight and wee got lots of cool pictures on flikr.com mine names the gingerbread_ferret if you wanna look. Yup.......

Friday the Thirteenth

It's Friday the Thirteenth.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Well, today was my friend's birthday, so we went on a haunted hay ride and through a haunted house at this farm near where I live. It was really fun. Not too scary. My friends and I sat in the back and harassed the scary things by having staring contests and making friends with them. It's a coping mechanism so we won't be scared ;). And we watched When a Stranger Calls, the beginning of this movie that wasn't scary called Heathers, and the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I love teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Tomorrow I'm going apple picking with my friends. It shall be glorious fun!

School is as boring as ever. In my math class, we're doing circle proofs. Not fun, not fun at all. I will grow up and never be able to have circular or triangular things in my house, all because of this class. I told my math teacher that, too. She thought it was funny. My math class is very entertaining.

Um... My little sister is doing awesome in modified soccer. Our modified girls soccer team has been undefeated since the current coach started coaching two years ago. We may suck at football, but we rock at soccer.

And there's an update on my life. Isn't it entertaining?

memory of the week #10

Remember how the theme of the second dance was "block party"? I don't know about anyone else, but *I* assumed they meant like a block party...like your street gets together and everyone chips in so they close the street for the day and little carnival rides come and there's a DJ and face painting... how that would be incorporated into a dance, I don't know. But it took me a few minutes of watching that giant projector screen show various lego creations before I'm like "OHH! I GET it! It's a BLOCK party, like LEGOS!" Yeah. That was the dance where like everyone except me wore their cty shirts...which was kind of funny, since it was my idea. Mmhmm. Anyway....

Meh

Heya. So..... Not much is happening to me. I'm sewing a blanket for my little sister, she just turned 5, in the free time I have which is only on the weekends and then barely any. I totally agree with Amelia. I'm SO busy now. But I can tell I have more stuff here then at CTY.

For once it wasn't ME ragging people about not posting!!!! MUAHAHAH!!!! Amelia noticed it too! It's cuz we can't just bump into people at the mall or chinese school or sometihng we're like abandoned and alone *tear tear* (lily you BETTER not laugh at me!)

Anyway.... that' basically it.

kendall :D

ok, laura, could u send kendall an invite thing? she sez she mite hav deleted it...., and she did not fall off the face of the earth... :D

What happened to Kendall?

She's the only person (other than Greg, who is hiding away in his secret military base in Canada) who I haven't heard from since cty AT ALL. I mean some people have been pretty quiet lately... *coughamymoosemonicaalydaarkellyjustinecough* but Kendall just dropped off the face of the planet. Anyone heard from her?

So...what's happening in my life? My parents went into the city today, but lucky me, I got to stay home so I could work on reports. Fun. Yesterday was my 2nd x-c race...I was 7 seconds away from getting a medal! argh! But my team did good, we came in 3rd place, so I got a t-shirt :o) And tomorrow is Columbus day! No school! woohoo! I need to go shopping...I want something gold to wear for the pep rally next friday...then that saturday is the homecoming dance, which I am excited about. Except if I'm in the top 7 freshmen for track I don't get to go because I'd have a really awesome overnight meet that weekend...but I don't think I'm in the top 7 . I'm kind of borderline. But I'm happy, 'cause It's a win-win situation. And I'm happy 'cause I'm doing good in school too! My lowest test score so far has been a 92! That rhymed! Yay! Let's see...oh, we launched our first bottle rocket on thursday...yeah, my team's had the shortest flight because the parachute didn't come out because it got stuck. But our egg was good, so we still didn't do the worst in the class. And I can read russian now!! Not that I have a clue what any of it *means*...but it's something. What else...

That's about it, I think. I've been trying to work out how at cty I never felt rushed and busy, even though that's just as much learning-time as a school day. I still can't figure it out. I go to bed earlier here, but I wake up earlier too, so it evens out. It takes me just as long to get ready in the morning, and less time to eat breakfast (and lunch and dinner). Then say I substite the daily and weekly for x-c, that means...actually it does work out. It's just stupid homework and reports and projects that make me feel like I have less time. Grr.

Anyway, I love you all, and I *do* remember you! I promise!

CrazyAnEnjoyinIt (6:42:56 PM): you haven't psoted on our blog recently!

yeah....thats miranda. so im posting to satisfy her yearning to see my typing magically appear on the blog! its like MAGIC! so i just got VERIZON fiOS, which is like, fiber optic wireless BOOM SO FAST. yeah. ok.

mhmm. miranda are u satisfied?

EVERYONE READ THE PEARL>>>STEINBECK.

crazy book.

Moo

Heyall. I guess it's been awhile. Heh. Yeah, I haven't deserted you and I've been reading everyday but I've been SO busy. Last weekend I went down to Virginia, stayed on my sister's college and had an interview for me. I'm not sure if I'm gonna go though. I'm thinking like at least ninth grade, then maybe I'll go. Or I could decide to stay for high school. See, the ninth graders say the high school where I go sucks so I shouldn't go, but I actually sorta like school so I don't want to take their judgement. But I'm not sure and I'm still applying.

Anyway, Amelia! How can our memories be getting foggy?!? There are so many you haven't talked about. What about like... my BIRTHDAY haha! And.... singing under Atlas! and... the sleepovers we had. And asking people what they put in eachother's hands.... There are tons more! You can't have forgotten us already!!!!

So I also have my own website where I'm putting up like stories and stuff.... specified stuff (how's that for a memory) it's http://www.smartcampaigns.com/miranda if you wanna check it out.

By the way.... Who's got Hank?

Happy MidAutumn Festival!!

2 all u chinese ppls, and 2 all those not so chinese ppls :P , 2day is October 6 and that is zhong qiu jie...or sumthing like that. in english, Mid Autumn Festival. 2nite, there is a full moon, and this yr, the moon is 12% bigger than it evr was, which makes it especially special. on this day, china overthrew the mongols by writing the note: 2nite we will kill the mongols, on their hands, and passed on the message by handing each other moon cakes. now, it is celebrated by watching the moon and eating moon cakes, which are not only really unhealthy, but they taste really good. so, if ur sky isnt all cloudy like mine, look outside and see the moon.

ok. that wuz a random bit of info that probly none of u will use, but still, i think its awesome.

memory of the week #9

You know what's sad? It's all starting to get a bit fuzzy. I still have a memory to share with you of course, but I'm starting to really have to think about these.

So, remember how EVERY SINGLE MEAL was like, variants of the exact same stuff? Breakfast especially. Every day there was:
-- 3 trays of fruit. Strawberries, melon, grapes, or a mix of fruits.
-- a potato product. Either home fries, tater tots, or hash browns.
-- eggs. scrambled. slightly frightening.
-- a bread product. Either pancakes, waffles, or french toast.
-- a meat product. Either bacon, sausage, or that other kind of sausage.
-- the cereal stand.
-- toast.
-- the desert breakfast foods (doughnuts and stuff)

It says something that even two months later I am able to recite exactly what was served at breakfast every single flipping day.

HELLO

AH im SICK...lost my voice, and OMG

so in English, we read, A Seperate Peace, great BOOK. so then we wrote a PERSONAL ESSAY TODAY and i was like, gosh, i pretty much spent 3 weeks learning abt that in some camp i went to....so YES i was so PUMPED, and we have 2 periods to write it all up, so i'm pretttty excited!

oooo yes and i do enjoy making away messages on IM with the transitive property of congruence/equality. wooooot. yes.

hmm, so i love working out during PE....cuz thats what we do....go to the fitness center, and WORK OUT. YES. ellipticals, treadmills, those leg-thingies. its loveeee. 4 life.

Update

okay guys! update on the life of Laura! wee

okay. well, school's going well. we have a new masterminds team, so I might get to be on it. yay.

we had a pep rally friday. it was hilarious. the cheerleaders' cd skipped and ruined their routine. I laughed.

um... homecoming was this weekend. at the football game, we lost. 41 to 6. I think the other team let us get a touchdown because they felt bad for us.

HAHAHAHA I love how much we suck. eh, we're a soccer school anyways. we rock at soccer.

um the homecoming dance was pretty fun. I danced, which I normally don't do, so be happy. there was all sorts of high school drama going on, which I laugh at. I was saddened at the fact that girls and guys are very shallow when they're teenagers. I am now angrily holding a campaign to save the youth of america: SAVE YOURSELF! don't be shallow, or unintellectual. it was pretty fun though

and... that's just about it. I would go into my life in more detail, but not many people want to hear about my life, so I shall not put you through the frustration of reading about that.

weeeeee

HELP SAVE THE YOUTH OF AMERICA!

save yourself

Diet Coke and Mentos

I did it! The diet coke and mentos thing! Actually, this was like two weeks ago, but I forgot to post about it. A bunch of my friends were at my house and we were trying to drink as much soda as we could because I had to empty three bottles of soda in two days for my bottle rocket project. Anyway, so my dad started talking about how when you put mentos in diet coke, it shoots up. And I'm like "Oh YEAH! Miranda told us about that!" so we walked down to the deli and bought a pack of mentos, and threaded three together and dropped them into the coke bottle. The coke shot about 4-5 feet into the air. Very cool, but with a *lot* of build-up.

I've been very busy lately...I had my first track meet on staurday! I did okay, I came in 7th for my team of about 15 freshman. Afterwards I was exhausted, but i'm all recovered now. It was exciting. But we had to be at the school at 6:45 (am), which was icky, icky, icky. Especially because half of us had been out late the night before since, y'know, it was friday night, so we were all hanging out. We went mini-golfing. Except only 3 kids actually golfed. But it was fun. Regretted it at 5:30 the next morning, though.
