Day 28
This year, in great detail~
As we slowly near the halfway mark of 2010, we near the end of my time as a Junior. Just a few AP Exams and a little time left over and then I'm done. It's really mind-blowing to think about how fast time has gone by. I remember coming into 11th grade thinking, "This is the last year I have before being a Senior. It's my most important year. It won't go by that fast, this can't actually all be happening." Yet here I am, about 9 months later, nearly on the top of the high school totem pole.
Sure, I'm marginally scared. Applying for college and actually GOING there really freaks me out. But at the same time it doesn't. College changes everything. It's the beginning of your independent life, and independence sounds really satisfactory right about now. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents and my sister and everything...but I want to get as far away from them as humanly possible. It's not even mainly because we don't get along or that I'm sick of listening to their rules and regulations (although that does obviously play a factor) but I just want to be free. I want to run my own life and have to make my own decisions and be forced to take responsibility for myself. Whenever something gets too complicated and I don't feel like dealing with it, like SAT sign up or college research, I just tell my parents and get them to fix it. In college I can't do that. And while that kinda sucks because I'm extremely lazy, it's also amazing because I'll be legitimately living my own life. Every decisions will be my own. I'm so excited for that power.
I could go on and on talking about where I want to go for college and how I plan on getting there, or how much I'm going to miss my friends and the memories from high school; but everyone already knows that. That's what every Junior is thinking about right now. No point in reiterating. All I do want to say, though, is that Senior year is our last chance to leave our mark. Our last chance to do and say all the things we've been contemplating since freshman year. Our last chance to let all the underclassmen know that they can't beat us. Ever.
Go big or go home, '11.

Day 27
This month, in great detail~
To sum up my month would be next to impossible. So many random little things happen to me and I have the memory of a goldfish with ADHD, so it'd be a very confused and sporadic description if I could even come up with one. But throughout this month, the things that stand out the most in my mind are the people I encounter and the situations that happen with them. There are a few people I really need to say some things to, so I figured here's the best place to do it. Anonymously and worry-free.
Person 1
I honestly don't even feel like we're friends anymore. We barely see each other, we're always with other people, and the saddest part is neither of us really tries to fix it. I know that no matter what you'll be there for me and I hope you know that I'll always be there for you, but I just don't think that we're ever going to be as close as we used to be. Our lives are just too different. I'll be going soon and you'll still be here, and I think the reality of that is starting to set in for both of us. I feel terrible admitting that part of me doesn't really want to stop it because my life is moving forward to change completely, and I kind of want to let it do its thing. But no matter what, you know I love you with all my heart and I'll always be here.
Person 2
I'm so worried about us. We're such a confusing...thing. In reality, we probably don't classify as anything. But to me we do. And I feel like it's slipping through my fingers. I don't blame you really; I'm not there, you're not here. It's understandable that you would leave at some point, and to be honest I expected it. I guess I just didn't expect to be so affected by it. I figured that since I knew it was going to happen, it wouldn't phase me when it did. But it really is; because even though deep down I knew that you were going to leave sooner or later, the thought never even crossed my mind. Not once.
Person 3
I hate you so much it's ridiculous. And the reason I hate you is because I love you. Isn't that a bitch? The mere thought of you infuriates me, everything you do pisses me off and is so mean and insensitive to how I feel, yet I keep coming back for more. Holding on to you is probably the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life, but I can't bare to let go. I really just want to punch you in the face. Maybe if you'd let me do that it'd let out all the confusion. That'd be cool.
Person 4
What is your deal?? I'm so confused by what you're doing right now. You haven't even looked in my direction for months unless it was a glare of death, and now suddenly in the past week you've directly addressed my existence twice. I don't know whether to assume that you're finally starting to forgive me and realize why I did what I did...or if this is all some part of your plot to shank me in the stomach the next time we come across each other in an empty hallway.
Person 5
Words can't even begin to describe how happy I am that I met you. In the past month, you've been a better friend to me than I've had in a very long time. Even though we've literally just become friends, I trust you more than I do 95% of the friends I have now. I feel like I can talk about anything to you and I'll never be judged, and you can do the same with me. You kinda rock my world. <3
Persons 6 and 7
You guys get a paragraph as one combined unit because we're all just one big combined unit. Throughout this year, you two have become my best friends. We're always together, we're always happy when we're together, and we get along and compliment each other's personalities so well it's kinda scary. You guys are honestly the greatest people I've ever met and I love you both so much. Three Muskequeers forever :) <3>

Day 26
Your week, in great detail~
Well it's only tuesday...but I suppose I could talk about what I'm going to be doing? Because I have a terrible memory and couldn't tell you what I did last week specifically if my life depended on it.
Sunday- Woke up at 11am, thinking it was all a dream. Turned on my phone and, after getting a few texts, realized it wasn't. Had breakfast with my parents. Watched some Whose Line Is It Anyways. Talked to Tatiana on the phone about our little situation for 90% of my day. Drove to Target and got Tatiana a birthday present. Facebook. Procrastination. More phone calls with Tatiana. Phone calls with Grant, Nathan, and Tatiana. Threw up (for reasons only certain people know. Wow that makes it sound like I'm pregnant. But I'm not!). Did a little bit of homework, leaving most of it until the next day. Went to sleep extremely excited to get back to Boca High the next day.
Monday- Woke up late and had to rush through a shower. Drove to school in the pouring rain, having to run through the rain to get into school. Went to French, making a bunch of weird jokes and laughing with Lily. Did my AP Psych homework in French. Went to Chorus and auditioned for the Don't Stop Believin solo. Went to Chemistry and laughed my way through with all my favorite, hilarious people. Then AP English with Jess, discussing controversial topics and doing a practice AP multiple choice. Lunch, discussions with Erin and Michael. AP Psych, got an 88 on the quiz. AP US, sat around and did nothing. Chilled in Combs's room during free period for a while. Got picked up and went home. Took a long nap. Woke up and ate dinner. Spent the rest of the night on facebook. Didn't do any homework.
Tuesday- Woke up. Showered. Drove to school with Brooke and Emily. Decorated Tatiana's first hour desk with all her presents and stuff for her birthday. Went to French where I did my AP Psych homework again. Had my hallway meeting with Tyler on my way to Chorus. Got the solo for Don't Stop Believin, along with Erin and some other people. Helped Tatiana transport her gifts and balloons to Chem. Fire drill. Finished AP Psych homework. AP English, more controversial topic discussions. Someone unexpected actually talked to me in a civilized manor. Proceeded with delirious laughter during lunch, still sitting in my AP English seat. Ate lunch with Jess. Played Jeopardy in AP Psych and won. Studied for AP US quiz. Nailed the AP US quiz. Nugget run with Tatiana and Jess during free period. Came back to school. Russell drove me home. Doing my blog. No homework. Glee tonight.
Wednesday- Morning routine. No homework to do during any classes because I don't have any tonight. Writing an essay in English I'm pretty sure. Free response questions in AP Psych. Probably go to sleep in AP US if there's nothing better to do. Make up my Chem test during free period. Go to the hospital after school. Change into volunteer outfit. Chill with Megan and Gus for 4 hours. Get lots of coffee, go on many walks, do yoga in the secret room. Come home at 8pm. Homework maybe if I have any. Even if I do, probably won't do it until tomorrow during school. Phone with Nathan and Grant. Sleep.
Thursday- Basically the same thing. Homework probably due in AP Psych, which means I'll be doing it during French and Chem. Quiz in AP US most likely. Hopefully leaving early during free period. Come home. Probably nap. Contemplate doing homework. Most likely won't. Eat dinner. Watch Survivor. Lots of facebook, as per usual. Phone with Nathan and Grant. Sleep.
Friday- Same thing again. AP US final today. Probably going to fail. Doesn't matter though because the lowest he'll give is a C. More homework probably due in AP Psych. You know what that means. Hopefully something fun after school with Tatiana and Jess. Otherwise either leaving early during free period if I can get a ride, or getting a ride from Russ. Excited for tomorrow.
Saturday- Sleep in nice and late. Lounge around all day. Maybe go swimming or tan if it's nice. Perhaps see Kristen during the day? Figure out specifics of the plan for the night with Tatiana and Jess. Get all dressed up and pretty. Out to dinner to some sort of Benihana type restaurant for Tatiana's 17th birthday. Have a kick-ass night.

Day 24
Whatever tickles your fancy~
Sometimes in life, you do things that are really stupid.
Then there are those rare times when you do something that seems really stupid and you know is probably a bad idea, but then it turns out to be one of the best/funniest decisions you've ever made.
That's what happened last night.
The story is kinda long and kinda hectic, and pretty out there, even for me, Tatiana, and Jess, but I swear every word of it is true. I couldn't make this up if I tried.
Tatiana, Jess, and I were hanging out like we normally do. We had just been to get food, driving around aimlessly, and to the mall. It was about 8pm and we were getting bored so we decided to retire to my house to just hang out and walk around the neighborhood. As we were driving home, this convertible BMW goes speeding past us like nobody's business. And being that it's us and that Jessica likes to go fast and has a compulsion for racing people, we've obviously got to speed up and get past them to prove a point.
Aaaaaand here's where it started.
Turns out it's a car full of guys who look about our age. We continue this trend of speeding up in front of them, them speeding up in front of us, following each other around Boca in this sort of race we've created. Then we're at a stoplight and they're sitting behind us, and one of the 4 jumps out of the car, runs over to us, and asks us for our numbers. We're a little reluctant at first, obviously, so we don't say anything. Then they keep following us into Mizner, and eventually we're like "you know what? screw it. what's the worse that could happen?"
So at the next stoplight, Tatiana shouts out her number to one of the boys. Then, (I don't know what compelled me to do so, perhaps I was on crack) I called the number and told our car of followers to meet us at Mizner.
At this moment, you're probably thinking at least one of the following:
1) They're going to rape you.
2) They're going to be losers.
3) They're going to be creepy.
4) They're going to be not your age.
5) They're going to be creepy, older-or-younger-than-you losers who are going to rape you.
Trust me, I was thinking the EXACT same things. But you know what? I never do anything risky like this, so screw it, I'm going for it.
So we park in the garage at Mizner and get out of our cars. We ask the standard "where do you go to school" questions and make our way to the Ice Cream place and then to Starbucks. Tyler then proceeded to pay for all our drinks (immediately a good sign for the "i'm pretty sure they're not going to rape us" side of the argument) and then we continue to walk around.
The rest of the night consisted of Dallas and Dustin harassing/touching old people, buying some girl's shirt off of her for $100, Dallas wearing it around Mizner, buying ragdolls at the ice cream parlour, chasing after cars, and laughing so hard that I cried and lost my breath on multiple occasions, and probably burned a 6 pack as well.
I think I'm just going to let this picture say what is just impossible to put into words:
Needless to say, definitely one of the craziest/funniest/most awesome nights of my life.
Sometimes in life, you do things that are really stupid.
Then there are those rare times when you do something that seems really stupid and you know is probably a bad idea, but then it turns out to be one of the best/funniest decisions you've ever made.
That's what happened last night.
The story is kinda long and kinda hectic, and pretty out there, even for me, Tatiana, and Jess, but I swear every word of it is true. I couldn't make this up if I tried.
Tatiana, Jess, and I were hanging out like we normally do. We had just been to get food, driving around aimlessly, and to the mall. It was about 8pm and we were getting bored so we decided to retire to my house to just hang out and walk around the neighborhood. As we were driving home, this convertible BMW goes speeding past us like nobody's business. And being that it's us and that Jessica likes to go fast and has a compulsion for racing people, we've obviously got to speed up and get past them to prove a point.
Aaaaaand here's where it started.
Turns out it's a car full of guys who look about our age. We continue this trend of speeding up in front of them, them speeding up in front of us, following each other around Boca in this sort of race we've created. Then we're at a stoplight and they're sitting behind us, and one of the 4 jumps out of the car, runs over to us, and asks us for our numbers. We're a little reluctant at first, obviously, so we don't say anything. Then they keep following us into Mizner, and eventually we're like "you know what? screw it. what's the worse that could happen?"
So at the next stoplight, Tatiana shouts out her number to one of the boys. Then, (I don't know what compelled me to do so, perhaps I was on crack) I called the number and told our car of followers to meet us at Mizner.
At this moment, you're probably thinking at least one of the following:
1) They're going to rape you.
2) They're going to be losers.
3) They're going to be creepy.
4) They're going to be not your age.
5) They're going to be creepy, older-or-younger-than-you losers who are going to rape you.
Trust me, I was thinking the EXACT same things. But you know what? I never do anything risky like this, so screw it, I'm going for it.
So we park in the garage at Mizner and get out of our cars. We ask the standard "where do you go to school" questions and make our way to the Ice Cream place and then to Starbucks. Tyler then proceeded to pay for all our drinks (immediately a good sign for the "i'm pretty sure they're not going to rape us" side of the argument) and then we continue to walk around.
The rest of the night consisted of Dallas and Dustin harassing/touching old people, buying some girl's shirt off of her for $100, Dallas wearing it around Mizner, buying ragdolls at the ice cream parlour, chasing after cars, and laughing so hard that I cried and lost my breath on multiple occasions, and probably burned a 6 pack as well.
I think I'm just going to let this picture say what is just impossible to put into words:
Needless to say, definitely one of the craziest/funniest/most awesome nights of my life.

Day 21
A recipe~
Peppermint Brownies
Peppermint Brownies
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Ghirardelli 100% Cacao Unsweetened Chocolate baking bar, broken or chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 (5.32 ounce) bag Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate with White Mint Filling Squares™, unwrapped
- 4 small candy canes, crushed
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
- In the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer or whisk, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla, peppermint extract, and salt until combined. Beat in the chocolate mixture. Gently stir in the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the brownies comes out clean. Arrange the mint squares on top in one layer and return the brownies to the oven until they are just melted, about 1 minute. Evenly spread the chocolate with a spatula and sprinkle with the crushed candy canes. Cool completely before cutting into 2-inch squares.

A hobby of yours~
Writing! Mostly non-fiction, but I do fiction sometimes when I get creative. I'm more of the argumentative-essays-in-AP-English sort of girl, though.

three things
As of right now, through all the chaos and problems in life, there are three things I fully believe in:
1- You don't have to be friends with a person for a long time to completely trust them with everything you have.
2- Deep down, I'm a lot braver than I give myself credit for, even if I can't always act on it.
3- I have finally found that one boy in the whole world who I truly and fully mean it to when I say "i love you," but it's not even in a romantic way. And I'm perfectly okay with that.
We spend a lot of time trying to be the mature adult, for we feel it's the only way to solve our problems. Yet sometimes, the best revelations of life come after those hours of immaturity where it all escapes you. Because it's when it all escapes you that you have the clarity to think.
Namaste~

A photo that makes you angry/sad~
It makes me sad because people in this country actual voted for her.
It makes me angry because she's a fucking dumbass and a disgrace to the female population and intelligent life in general.

Favorite Book~
Once again, couldn't choose. It was either the best series ever to be written, or the little piece of invaluable genius sent down to us from the God who is none other than Tucker Max.
