I want this shirt... It has House's infamous quote on it and proceeds go to a charity... so if anyone wants to buy it for me... (hint hint) Get me a small :)
So I got home from school and sat outside with Ashley for a while and did some of my homework. Then Ashley had to go to work so Jeff came out and he was playing around with his baseball bat and a softball. He'd knock it up the street up by my house and he was using his bat as a cane and was hobbling up the street to my house to get the ball. I was giggling because it reminded me of the Wal-Mart Greeter incident. Anywho, I asked him to help my think of some ideas for that assignment in Carne's class and all he came up with was two (semi-good) ideas, which I shall not share because I want to use them!
Then, we started arguing about last nights Angels/Mariners game and how the Mariners kicked our (meaning the Angels) ass. After that... he brought up the subject of the pool when we were there two weekends ago. He was saying that I kept telling him to leave me along and go away when he was sitting next to me... I don't remember saying that but he says I did. But I know I didn't prtest when he laid on the step in the spa and rested his head on my shoulder. His hair tickles a little when it's wet... :)
I then went on Limewire and downloaded about 50 songs, most of which are 30 Seconds from Mars and Breaking Benjamin with a few *N Sync and Fergie songs. Then I burned myself a new CD for my car ride to school. I'm kinda getting sick of the one that's been in the stereo for the last couple months. Bummer it's too old and doesn't have an iPod jack... :(
Yesterday, after the blood donation thingy, I was in 5th period and Rachel was talking about how she donated and asked the teacher if he did. He said no and that he never would because it scares him. He's really afraid of needles.
When I was at the Getty Museum on Tuesday, I saw Chad Michael Murray. No joke. Rachel Corter and I followed him to the cafe (that we thought was the expensive one) but we didn't go inside. He was with his dark-haired friend/body guard person and his wife, who, btw, is really short compared to him and acts like a bitchy show-off. I mean, she almost fell over onto one of the Italian art pieces. Anyway, Chad and his other friend looked back at us when they were walking and waved to us. Since our semi-large group of girls were watching him walk, he knew that we knew who he was and he was totally strutting his stuff. He had his hair in a faux hawk with gold-rimmed cop glasses and wore a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt... at least I'm pretty sure it was plain.
I went to the dentist today and I watched Pirate II because I thought it'd be a god refresher for tomorrow, plus, I don't know if the dentist gets the Discovery Channel. But the seats are really comfy and I get a pillow and my own headphones and everything! It's pretty nice. I recommend Dr. Dennis Huston.
My dad just called and told us to put on Family Feud because the De Boer (pronounced: d-bore) family was on it. The people with the twins Dick and Dane. In a previous post I had a couple of pictures of them while they were hanging from the fire tower look-out at Tahquitz Peak. Anyway, they were on Family Feud! Here are some pictures I took off my TV.
Kaplow brought me my Pirates ticket today! YAY! I need to pay her $10 still.
I had this crazy psycho dream last night (actually it was 3am this morning) that had to do with a particular someone. Bionic eyeballs and yellow iris. Soooo scary. I couldn't go to sleep afterwards. But in the dream... HE WAS IN MY HOUSE!!!
We finished the movie 5th period from Friday and we were going to start a new one but we were all talking abouit how great the movie was and he told us to stop talking (even though it was about the movie) and ended up taking it out. He told us basically never mind the movie, we could just talk amoungst ourselves...the class was dead quiet for the remaining 10 minutes of class. He said "go ahead, talk. Just because you're quiet now doesn't mean I'll change my mind."
So we've now moved on to this movie. I had already seen it in psychology but I was later told that my Psych teacher had actually "stolen" it from Carne. He hates when people "steal" things from him... like the project I did last year in AP World, apparently that was his "stolen" idea. Whatever...
But Carne had nothing to do today i guess because while the movie was playing, he was playing Solitaire on his computer. The only reason I know this is because I saw the reflection of the computer screen on one of the framed certificates hanging on the wall behind his desk. As I observed, I later realized he had at least attempted two games. I dunno if he won them.
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Special Edition DVD
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Special Edition DVD
This is the movie that Carne is having us watch. Apparently, 1st period thought that the old lady in the brainwashing part was hilariious. Jannyphone and I were waiting for something totally funny to happen... but nothing did. There were a couple parts when Carne started cracking up and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why. He would kinda try to explain it but the class just laughed at his random outbursts instead.
I confused Jeff today. He was driving to work and he looked over at me and Ahley (we were outside) and I usually just smile but today I decided to wave. Well, he wasn't prepared so he just took a double-take back over his shoulder because he couldn't wave back because we was driving...
Then he called me later but I don't think he meant to because my phone only rang once. I caled him back and he didn't answer but I didn't expect him to. He was working anyway. I get the feeling though that he might see a missed call from me and call me back when he gets off or is on break or something.
Jennyphone wanted to see a movie to celebrate but nobody wanted to go OR answer their phones when I called.
I talked to Jeff on Friday night and he told me twice that he wasn't working next Sunday. We might go to the pool together or maybe a movie... which is surprising because he would never go to the movies with me last summer. I think he's matured a little.
I just got back from the pool about 15 minutes ago and I was trying to tan... so hopefully when I go to school tomorrow I'll be fried. I'm so white right now, Nate's feet are tanner than I am, I think. Plus I wanted to show off my new swim suit... it's a black two-piece with a pink flower on the right boob and the same flower again on the left side of the bottoms.
But speaking of Nate, we were all outside yesterday and I happened to have my birthday present shirt from Kaplow outside (Because I had been wearing it earlier) and Nate saw the last name and made a really bad joke out of it. Ashley thought it was hilarious... me, not so much.
So, I just got back from seeing Mr. Newman. I had fun visiting. When I started talking about Dancing with the Stars he said, "Did you know I was on that?" He said it before I was even able to tell him about it... And he doesn't have cable!!!!!! He said that the day after it premiered, at least 5 kids from his class mentioned it. We watched the Big Foot movie together, though, I didn't really watch it, or should I say I wouldn't watch it... I've seen it way too many time. He said I should come back and see him again before the school year ended. He had to leave today to meet someone somewhere by 4 so he couldn't stay too long. I was allowed until 4:30. Maybe next time though.
After getting home, I was watching the news and they were showing the set up for the Dancing with the Stars results show and they happened to iinterview Ian and I slid off the couch I was giggling so hard... I had then realized the striking resemblance between the two. I mean, I knew that before, but now, they seem identical.
I'm currently printing all those PowerPoint's from Carne out in the outline form like he said... it uses a lot of paper.
I still need to do psych, math, and... I could work on that English history paper, but it's not due until Friday... so I'll wait.
Can you answer these 4th Grade US History Questions?

Anyway... That girl that says Mr Carne is not too smart. She did her practice exam reasons on a separate piece of paper when he said not to. And she thought that the SAT only took 3 hours and didn't know there was an essay involved.
When we were leaving class, there was a girl behind us as Carne walked with us out the door who had one of those big Arizona Iced Tea bottles whose plastci bottle was brown. There was still a little tea left and she when she took a drink of it, Carne I guess looked at it funny and then said, "I thought you had booze!" I didn't really catch it, I just heard what he had said but Jennyphone managed to catch all of it and she was cracking up.
Tomorrow I'm gonna go get some job applications and go to Barnes & Noble to pick up another AP US History Review book. The one I got with my text book supposedly follows the text book, but it's crappy... besides, I want one I can write in. Maybe I'll have him sign it at the end of the year! J/K
I think I might call Jeff later... just to see what he's doing this weekend. He probably has work but usually he only works for about 4 hours at a time. We had a great time last weekend when I was at the pool with him, his brother, and Ashley. Jeff and Ashley actually got along... kinda, until they started arguing about WWE Raw. I don't want Jeff to move quite yet. Give it at least another couple months, at least.
Yup, that's my dinner. A long *Meat tube made with intestines and lips and butt holes. Yum! I've had a lot of meat this week. :)
Carne taught us about how JFK called himself a jelly donut. He also taught us about Khrushchev wanting to go to Disneyland but Walt wouldn't let him in because he doesn't like communists. It made Khrushchev cry. Seriously. I just tried looking for the video but I can't find any. Maybe Carne will be nice and let us watch it after the AP Test if he knows where one is.
Meat made the sweetest face today in class. I almost melted. I think his puppy-dog face is more persuading than Tory's... but now that I think about it I don't recall any moments when Tory made the puppy-dog face.
Also, since Jennyphone and I have been discussing our unusual dreams lately, I had a weird one last night; I was at Disney's California Adventure (I seem to be there a lot in many of my dreams) and I was on the second story of a big warehouse building on the lot. There was a window on one side and a door on each adjacent side. There were hooks screwed into the baseboards around the entire room. All the band people were there and I was able to see them outside the window. But I wasn't the only one in the room, Carne was there too. He put me in a 5-point harness (which in my dream was called a 16-point harness but actually had about 50 points to connect to). I lied down on the black tile (or vinyl) floor on my back and he took some white rope and started to connect the points on my harness to the hooks on the baseboards. I remember being told by someone (I think it was Andrew) that once I was harnessed in, two bloodhounds were gonna be let in along with 50 puppies (also bloodhounds). So I was laying down, watching Carne criss-cross rope across the room, and I was almost all the way harnessed in. I remember thinking to myself as I lied there "Gee... I'm laying here on the floor and he's tying me up with ropes and it's just me and him." If you think it sounds kinky... you're probably thinking right... Unfortunately. Anyway, back to my dream. He was wearing a white polo shirt and dark colored shorts, like something he'd wear to school. I was suspended above the floor about a foot by the harness and everything was tied except my right arm... Carne hadn't gotten that far yet. But then the door suddenly burst open and all the baby bloodhounds started rushing in and they jumped all over me and started to lick my face... like all puppies do. Only, the thing was, I was afraid of them. I remember trying to jerk free from my harness with the puppies all over me and then it just cut to me being out of the harness and having no ropes or anything in the room. It just suddenly disappeared (you know how dreams can 'jump around too much'). The only thing that remained in the room was me, Carne, and his backpack. And then the next thing I know I have my arms wrapped tightly around his neck and I'm hugging him. Now, I don't know why but in every single dream I've ever had with him in it, I always run to him and hug him and I don't like letting go. I wanna know why that is... so, please, if you know anything about the meanings of a dream, tell me what the hugging means. So I'm standing there hugging him and he has his arms wrapped really really tight around my waist and (I know this whole thing sounds really stupid) he was holding me really close to his body...
These dreams are psycho...HELP!
And to make things worse, I bet I'm gonna have another dream tonight about something that Kaplow had told a story about earlier. About the whole"waterfall of Chewy Bars"incident and himpressing his body against the boardto stop them.
Now that everyone knows what was so disturbing... here's other news.
THE HITCHER CAME OUT ON DVD TODAY! I went to Wal-Mart after school today and picked up the widescreen edition and I finished watching it and all the bonus features. There are some awesome alternate scenes, especially when the Hitcher gets into Grace's motel room and starts touching her and shit... but I pretty uch think they did a good job on mixing and matching to come up with the shot that's in the movie.
When Carne was little and still living in Colorado... This was basically the start to another one of his awesome life stories that don't really go anywhere. He said that because of all the riots and stuff that were happening in the south, he didn't want to go there. He said, "I didn't wanna go to the south. I thought it was scary. I thought I was gonna be attacked by dogs." Also, something that Kaplow had pointed out, I was looking at his legs (again) and she was right! He has small ankles. Be he REALLY makes up for it with his strong calves (not like baby cows... i'm talking about the ones that are connected to your legs). It's just hard to not notice. I was looking at them a lot today.
When ever I see this commercial, I think of Luke, because he likes this commercial. I heard him talking about it and even saw him acting it out in chemistry a few weeks ago!
