Uber Rant: I'm really angry... I wrote this brilliant paper about race relations for my junior culminating project. It's supposed to be a long research paper that envelops everything you've learned in life so far, that relates to a topic/theme that was chosen from a novel/play. Like I said, my paper was about race relations, and was really well thought out and everyone I gave it to, including my sister and brother in law who are close to getting their doctorate in English, loved it. I gave it to my English teacher and I got it back with the worst marks in the class, even though my paper was the better than all the ones I read. The main point is that Black/White race relations have deteriorated and it is now easier to be Black and Female than it is to be White and Male. If one applies themselves at all, and are black, they are given a ticket to college for free. If you are me, a white male from a lower middle class family, you have to pay something at least. My teacher took offense to this because she is Black and Female. I said that the problem with race relations nowadays is that there has been a paradigm shift where White people are no longer being treated the same as Black people because of the color of their skin. I said that programs like affirmative action were racist. I got an F on the paper...

Go figure...

Finn- That's ridiculous. Take it to the school board because it's obvious that she failed you because of her own opinions not because of the actual content and make up of the paper. I kind of agree a little bit.


Random: I wonder if there's a scholarship for redheads....I hope. I really want one. lol.

Rant: AW CRAP. I just looked it up and there isn't one. :( There's scholarships for all sorts of things, but not redheads? Mehhhhh. I would totally get it. I'm the only redhead I know who would ever even think of it. lol.

Rant: Finals week.

Rave: My finals from today went a lot better than I thought they would.

Rant: So I have a crush on this one kid...and I'm pretty sure that he's oblivious. Apparently he really wants a girlfriend.. Okay, well, apparently I'm not here, single, or at least a little bit pretty- not here at all.

Random: You know you're a complete musical theatre dork when- in this situation- you want nothing more than to burst out into "Little you know, little you see" or any of Eponine's other little laments.

Rave: I totally think I'm going to accidentally do that one day. lol.

Rant: My mom intends for me to make a video out of 200 pictures in 1 day. <_<

Rave: School's almost over.

Rave: We're singing this really awesome song in Select Choir for graduation. :) Together We Are One by Delta Goodrem.


Rave: I love chocolate milk. :)

Rave: I applied for this Apprenticeship thing at a local theater. I can get anywhere from $300-$500 dollars over the summer, which is better than a 15-year-old can get anywhere else around here. It's just a matter of actually...getting it....

Rave: My Twilight crazy friends and I are going to make a Twilight video series this summer...it's gonna be crazy. lol. It's going to be Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie (I'll be Rosalie cause I'm the one with the lightest hair :rolleyes:) and it's basically going to be weirdness....Based off of the fact that they've all graduated again and need something to do, so Alice gets this idea for them to make videos so Bella will understand them better. Since...they're like...an unknown force in the series. lol. I plan to have one episode at the zoo. They will admire the elephants, and I'm pretty sure there's a grizzly bear, so that'll be good too. We'll be creeping the hell out of the little kids. lol.




~Mel

Welcome to my world Mel... A world of racism against white people... I think I'm going to join the ACLU and get them to kick some ass...

Rave: I think I know what I want to do with my life...
Rave: I think I want to teach at a Spanish Immersion elementary school.

Man, that sucks about your paper. I definitely agree with you though that programs like affirmative action are no longer needed. I mean, if I worked harder than an african american to get into the college I'm going to and that person got in because of the color of their skin and I got denied, it wouldn't be fair. I realize that in the past, they experienced the reverse, but it's like, how many times do we have to say we're sorry for the actions of our ancestors before it doesn't mean anything anymore? It needs to be on academic merit only. Affirmative action technically descriminated against whites. We just need to eliminate descrimination all together.

I know what you're talking about though when it comes to crazy teachers. My 11th grade English teacher would out-right tell us our opinions were wrong when we gave them in discussions. She was really awful. She pretty much abused the socratic method, but the school woudn't fire her because she had tenure. It's really ridiculous.

This thread is starting to sound worrying like a Daily Mail article.

ok i'm in a really bad mood, so here goes a long list of rants

rant: I pretty much suck at swimming at this point. Swimming used to be my thing, I used to be really good at it. I've been in the summer swim league for 10 years, since they started the team. I havn't been in the pool for a year, and we had a meet today, so i knew i wasn't gonna do that great. But that had me swimming a 100 free, which i did awful in, i was practically drowning in. And I was supposed to do a 50 fly. But I skipped that because I physically cannot do two laps of butterfly. I'm a breaststroke person, i don't do butterfly. My brother however, was amazing tonight. And I know I should be proud of him and whatever. But my mom keeps going on and on about how great he did. And I'm just like...yea, what about me? Did I really suck that bad. I had a couple of good races. They weren't great. But I did good. I'm just frustrated. I didn't really get swim for any of my strengths. Blegh blegh blegh. The meet was cold, miserable, and boring. For the first time in my life I actually hated swim team.

Rant: It's the first week of summer and I'm already bored out of my mind. My weekend was crazy, packed with parties and things to do. But now that's all over I'm just stuck. I don't have anything to do. All of my friends are working or away on vacation and I feel like I've already lost touch with everyone. But I've been in a bad mood these past few days and I have a tendancy to just cut myself off from everyone when I'm in a bad mood. But I miss my friends. I want to be done with high school, but I don't want to say good bye either. ugh.

Rant: Ok, so I had a job back at the beginning of may end of april, and I absolutely hated it. I kinda stopped showing up, but I never really called to say that I'd officially quit. I'll take the blame on that one. I should've called and just explained. But I really hate doing things like that, so I avoided it. And it would be all fine and dandy. But they have 2 paychecks for me. So now EVERYONE is nagging me to call. My parents, I can understand that. They want me to get my money (I do too). But my friend started nagging me the other day, and I was like seriously? It's none of your business. She just kept going on and on about how I was letting this place down, and how I should've ended it on a good note for resume reasons. that just really p****d me off. whatever

Rant: I'm supposed to go help out with this colorguard thing at my school tomorrow morning, but at this point I really don't wanna go. Just screw it. My friend who's been nagging about my old job is gonna be there and I just don't wanna deal with that. I think I might just stop by and then go to the gym and swim, work off the sress

Rant: My mom thinks I need to be more sociable. Apparently I'm not a very sociable person.

Rant: My parents keep arguing about what I'm going to do for college. The college I want to go to isn't that far away. I've been accepted, but they've put me on a wait list for dorms, because there's not enough room. So I could commute. But now they're arguing about that, and what they think I should do. Stay on the wait list and risk the chance of not being able to go to school next year, or commute. Of course my mom doesn't want me to commute, she thinks it's too far too drive, but she also doesn't want me to find a place closer to the college because it's "too much responsibility" So pretty much I get to leave it up to my parents to decide what I do next year. That sounds great, doesn't it?

Rant: I really just wanna be in the UK right now. I don't want to be stuck in the US anymore. I want to be at home. I cant wait to go back. I'm just homesick. But then I'm not really even sure that that's home. I just dont wanna be in Georgia. Anywhere but here.

Rant: I honestly don't have anyone that I can talk to. All of my friends have their own best friends. So who does that leave me with when I need to talk to someone? No one. Half of my friends make me feel just plain stupid when I talk to them. Blegh. I need to get out of the house. I need a vacation from my life. And my life really isn't that bad. I'm just fed up.

Rave:....I can't think of one.... I'll get back to that one

Casey- I'm sorry. It sounds like everything's just..catching up to you. I hope everything gets better. Cupcake?- :cupcake:

Rave: Today started out really good and I was super happy today....

Rant: And then I got home. I went to the eye doctor to try for the second time at getting contacts in. I can't do it. I physically....cannot do it. I always blink RIGHT before it goes in and by the time I think I'm getting it, I realize that I'm going to have to leave soon and I start freaking out. It would also help if the people weren't constantly bugging me to keep going. I work better in silence. I fail with contacts. I look so much better with them on, though, and it gets me so angry because I'm actually pretty when I don't have my glasses on.

Rant: Directly from the eye doctor I go to the Orthodontist for the first time ever. If that's not an aneurysm in itself, doubling the health care pain just made it worse. So I go in there and find out that I'll need braces. Okay- no big deal. How long? 1 1/2 years. A little frightening. Guess what has to be on them? Springs. They desire to place springs inside my mouth. Thank you genes, for giving me an overbite. Apparently springs were the best bet for me as a singer since gumbands would snap if I open my mouth to wide. <_< I said that I'd rather try to work with the gumbands first, though. lol. Honestly, I don't care if they snap I just don't want springs attached to my jaw.

Rant: So then all of this starts to get to me...the fact that even if I get contacts in I'll have braces and then I'll just feel self conscious about my braces even though I'd be getting the least visible kind (I can't get invisalign though....) it's just...gah. It's a lot for me right now. At the same time I realize that the more I put off getting braces, the more chance I have of having braces in my senior year which is what I'm trying to avoid. 1 1/2 years would mean that they'd be off by our performance for Fall Play of my Junior year. Good. I just...gah. It's a lot for me right now because...I've had this thing lately...where...wait, new rant.

Rant: I've had this thing lately where basically all of my friends are either in a relationship or are basically worshiped by the opposite sex. Then there's me. I don't even get noticed at all. Oh yeah, girls notice me, they tell me that I'm cute, but considering the fact I'm straight, it really doesn't matter that much. I think I'm pretty but I feel like all that the guys see in me is that really weird, short, ginger kid with glasses. I kind of hate it. It makes me miserable to sit there and be a third wheel constantly, or to watch someone be told how amazing they are by someone. I want that. I want a guy to tell me that I'm pretty and smart and nice.

Finn- don't go there. I want someone to say it in person.

Someone who can actually mean it. God d*mmit I'm so desperate right now and hate it and I hate being able to say that I'm actually depending on a guy's opinion- but just once I want to be the girl that someone thinks is pretty. Just once even. I don't care- I'm not asking for a confession of undying love, just a simple "You look really nice today" is all I want. I feel like freaking crap. Why are guys so stupid? There has to be some guy out there who thinks I'm pretty just the way I am? Why can't they come around and stop me before it's too late and I've completely lost it and possibly myself?


Seriously? When I want something, I really really really want something and I do whatever I can to get it. I don't want to change, though, I don't. I don't want to be one of those monsters but I want a guy to tell me I look nice or I'm pretty or anything.


I might have to beg my friend to tell me. He'd be honest. If he doesn't say something nice I might cry cause part of me says he won't but part of me says he will. He'll feel really awkward but I don't care cause he's always making me feel awkward.


Rant: Can't go to Kennywood tomorrow because Kiley got hit in the face with a football and that basically ruined my plans cause I was going to go with her.

Rave: Well, now I'll be going to The Barn (which is what I'm calling the theater I'm working at this summer on here because I feel like some stalker might google the real name and like...stalk me or something) instead for my Apprenticeship thing (Basically everyone got it because there were only 5 applicants) which means that they'll probably like me more. lol.

Rave: About that, only two people replied to the e-mail about the meeting tomorrow, and I'm one of them, so I guess that gives me brownie points, too. Which is...really good considering the fact that I'm getting paid and...I get the opportunity to be Stage Manager andddd I really want to...andddd they'll pick the most devoted and experienced people annnndddd I probably fit that. Hahaha.

Rant: ..........Meh.

Rave: On a lighter note, and me stopping my miserableness. lol. I'm so bipolar I swear. lol. Just got done singing at graduation, and basically the entire thing was:
*Me freaking out because the teachers wore sashes in Hogwarts colors and we were just talking about how walking down the hill in our Select Choir stuff reminded us of Harry Potter.

*Me freaking out every time someone named Edward was called.

*Me freaking out when my friends were called.

*Us putting glitter on before it started.

*Me harassing my friend who was nicknamed Jasper (from Twilight) by saying "You know what, you were in the Confederacy. You LOST the war." Because....just read Twilight. lol.

*Lots of my friend crying because she's crazy.


Rave: We went to Eat'n'Park after, as custom, and we had this waiter...we called him Frank the Tank, but his name was really Scott. lol. We had such a ridiculous time and...we are officially ridiculous people. lol. It was pure amazingness. lol.


Rave: So maybe tomorrow will be better. I'm hoping. :)



~Mel

Mel you should ask them to put them in for you... I figured it after that... Maybe it will help you?

Rant: Everyone's having bad days... Including me...
I just think mine has been a bad year...

Rant: I have to take the metro home today... It takes like three buses to get to my house... not to mention walking a mile...

Rant: I know exactly how you feel... All the nice girls who I like, either don't like me that way, or are with someone... All the girls who do like me are stupid... Really stupid...

Rant: So stupid, I'm convinced that Darwin was wrong...

Rant: The one girl who I really wanted to go out with... On valentine's day I made her cookies and asked her if she'd like to go to the movies with me... She said she would see if she could and... She's avoided me ever since then which is really strange because we have chemistry together and she works at the lab bench across from me... At least she said hi to me yesterday for the first time since February...

People really have no idea what their actions do to other people...

Rant: because my stupid 'friends' owe me money, I can't afford to go see X-Japan in Paris >_< ARGH! and there's no way I'll be able to afford seeing them in America in September.

Rant: Wish the university would stop trying to help me with my mental health and start paying attention to what i'm actually asking for help with.

Rant: A guy I know has a massive crush on me but i'm not interested in him at all, he's always sidling over to me and trying to ask me out, i've told him I like someone else but I have no clue how else to say "sorry not interested" without sounding like a total bitch ><


Rave: Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out soon, least it'll help me forget my relationship problems and concentrate on Snake and Otacon's repressed homosexuality ^_^

Um, this needs to come back, sorry. lol.

Rant: I've been running myself ragged lately, and I can tell. I always get really nasty whenever I am....

Rant: I've been pretty nasty lately. Nasty and easily irritated. Generally just...meh.

Rave: Not when I've been around my friends, though, which hasn't happened quite a lot, but it's happened. lol.

Rave: I've gotten to see two of my really good friends a lot lately because I'm helping backstage with a show their doing.

Rant: Okay...so let's explain the whole situation behind why I'm backstage and now like...in the light booth or something, shall we? We decided back in the first few weeks of my job that I was going to Stage Manage Cinderella because no one wanted to work with the director, and I had never worked with her before so I couldn't say anything. One girl claimed another show because she liked the director, so that left Winnie the Pooh, my friends' show (yes, this is a children's season) for the other girl. Well, since the same girl was already Stage Managing a show when the rehearsals would be starting for Pooh, I was supposed to cover for her for a week. One week. Just one. I did my one week. Come back the next week and she wants me to go on Monday too. Okay, sure. I wanted to because my friends were there and it made me so happy. I'm pretty sure that I went another day that week, too. I go to camp, come back, and find out that I'm now the official Stage Manager. What? Why couldn't you just make it so much easier and make me Stage Manager from the other girl was essentially never going to do it? It's so confusing. I don't even know why....Gah.

Rave: Went to see Footloose and a cabaret performance after that on Friday.

Rant: Another long rant. I went with my friend Zack, and our friend Jeremy was playing keyboard in the pit. Ironically, these are the same friends from the cast. Anyway, about 10 minutes before the show starts, Jeremy comes out to us in the audience and says that they need the three of us to fill a spot in the cabaret because someone dropped out, and it HAD to be from Tick, Tick...BOOM! Zack and I ran around freaking out until the very last second. Eventually, yes, we did decide on the song. Yes, we did make the people in our row angry, and yes, we did get copies of the song made. Then, Jeremy, who is known for being an attention hog, comes out at intermission and says that he's doing a solo now.

.......................................


Rave: But now we're doing 30/90 for the 3rd weekend...maybe? lol.

Rant: See, what Jeremy also neglected to mention is that Zack needs to be involved with the show first.

Rave: This weekend's theme for the cabaret is opposite sex, a.k.a. sing a song the opposite sex is supposed to sing. So...I'm thinking of singing My Unfortunate Erection from 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. lol. I just need the music and approval. It's not as dirty as it sounds, trust me. lol. It'd be funny, I think.

Rave: ONE MINUTE UNTIL I GET MY BREAKING DAWN QUOTE OF THE DAY!

Rant: That's the only reason why I'm up now. I'm dead tired.

Rant: Wooo lacking sleep YAY!



~Mel

Rant: I have to learn the music to High School Musical 2 because it's going to be our All County Musical next year and...I want it to be as painless as possible...and I want a part.

Rant: I was supposed to do something with someone yesterday, but I ended up not being able to. I called them and they had to leave basically as soon as we said hello. That's how it is every time I call. They don't like me anymore.

Rave: I went shopping today. :)

Rant: I'm so invisible. No one really looks at who I am. All they see in me is what's on the surface.

Rant: This summer has been such a mess. The only thing that hasn't been completely messed up was camp.

Rave: I'm singing a song at a Cabaret with my friends Jeremy and Zack next Saturday. I'm excited for that....

Rant: Aside from the fact that I am very clearly the worst singer of the group. I'm not allowed to be bad, though. I'm the crew kid, and I need to work 10 times as hard as them to impress the people because they actually got cast in shows this summer. I suck...

Rant: Oh great, I'm going into my whole I hate myself thing.

Rant: I'm such a perfectionist....

Rant: Meh.



~Mel

rave: Listening to Pink Floyd

rant: I was just reading one of Mel's old rants...about how I was hit in the face with a racket ball (not a football, Mel) and I had a really bad black eye....and I feel bad for canceling on her.

rave: on the day that I was supposed to with her, Zach dragged me around and pretended like he abused me. he he. It was funny. I know. Very sick humor.

RANT: Zach's moving away.

For those of you who don't know, Zach was like, my best friend since he moved here last year and now he's moving like, 8 hours away. He quite literally came in here, ruined my life, and then left. We got really close, hung out every day, he taught me how to play guitar, kind of dated, went to church together.....and I trusted him. Which is a big thing for me considering my dad basically ruined my ability to trust anyone. Anyway, so I trusted Zach, and in doing so practically ruined my relationship with one of my closest friends that I've known for years (and I still don't know how we're still friends.)

But basically what I feel like right now is like I said to him "Here....take my heart and soul and ground them into hamburger meat" which is what happened. So I'm miserable. And he's moving. So I'm losing my closest friend and it's like he's already gone because he's so busy doing last minute things with everyone and I have yet to have an entire day alone with him and it sucks.

rave: I love this song....Shine on you crazy diamond (parts I-V)

rant/rave: I'm going to see some church's production of Oliver tonight. And I love Oliver...but there's sooo much potential for it to suck it's not even funny.

RAVE: WARPED TOUR IS TUUUEEESSSDDDAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

rave: I love going to concerts with Zach....it's gonna be so good.

Rant: Why is it that when I want to go somewhere, everyone decides to stay home and, unfortunately, I don't have a driving license to go by myself. Then, when I want to stay home, everyone goes. That actually means, I have to go too!!!

Rave: What's the difference between rant and rave?!?! I am so confused right now, I don't even know where to start!! AHHH!! My brain is overflowing!

Rant: Tuesday is the most horrible day ever!! There is no fun in Tuesdays at all! Yeah, tomorrow's going to be a Wednesday!! Badminton, here I come!! I love Badminton...

Rave: I really need a pensieve! Why can't we all be wizards already? Then, I can skip Tuesdays and all my boring classes! ^_^ Plus, my head wouldn't be totally overflowing!!!

Rant: It's so late at night and I need to sleep, but I can't because of all my crazy brain!! Stupid brain, I'm going to kill you. I'm totally crazy today!! I'm using so many exclamation marks...! In fact, I'm so crazy, I'm jumping in my seat.. Gosh, I've lost my mind..

Rave: I'm posting everywhere today!!! Nearly everywhere in the lounge! Does the post count increase? I wonder.. Yeah!!! My crazyness is ebbing away!! Or not...

Rave: Photoshop

Rant: Annoying people

Rave: New semester starts 25 August, which means five English classes and my Polish class.

Rave: Relearning Polish since I forgot everything when I stopped studying when I was 8.

Rave: Meeting (amazing) people

Rant: There are certain people on this site (as in the real world) who annoy me, I try and be polite to them, but they make it impossible. Of course I'm sure I bug my share fair of people as well.

Rant: No speakers on my work computer

Rave: I think it's funny how all of my friends are finally moving out of their parents house; but I have lived on my own since leaving high school. The best part it I'm moving back into my parents house so I can save for my travels.

Rave: Planned travels: back home to Pennsylvania (next December), Disneyland (next spring, not really excited, but going with friends), France (next summer), Poland (summer 2012 for Euro 2012) and many many more, those are actually for certain, Ill update, of course.

Rant: Most of the people in my office (I'm the only student, they rest are 'real people').

Rave: Mole finale next Monday!

Rant: If they don't bring it back, I'll kill somebody.

That's enough for now...

That would be me, won't it? I'm so sorry, had just tried to do it myself on the photoshop thing and found that it really doesn't work.

Rant: How can I be so annoying? Today is the worst day ever.. I have never imagined myself as annoying, but I think differently now.

Rave: I don't know why I feel this calm. Probably becuase I'm doing homework. It's a weird feeling...

Rant: I can't rant any longer.. My peacefulness has overcome me and made me very untalkative and very uncreative.

Rave: I'm writing this holiday story for my homework and it's sort of good, I guess.

Rant: Why am I doing this again? I just wrote I can't rant any longer.

Rave: I'm so confused with myself, it's like I come here only to relieve my thoughts. This is like the pensieve. Only, I can't spil out my deepest secrets...

Rant: Don't feel good and I have to work today

Rant: Really tired, despite the fact that I went to bed reasonably early for me.

Rant: A lot of my friends are leaving next week for college. I'm gonna miss them like crazy. I don't think it's hit me yet that they're leaving.

Rant: I can't think of a rave.....

Rant: I really need to clean my room... I just can't motivate myself to. I guess I'll just do it today when I get back from work.

Rave: I actually thought of one... My parents just bought a boat and it's really awesome. I can't wait to go on it.

Rant: My knee is really bothering me again, I'm not sure what I did, but we don't have any kneebraces around the house that I can use. o.O

Rant: I'm so blah right now, my main goal for today is to not breakdown. I really really really don't want to go to work. And it's going to be busy cause schools about to start. Ugh. oooooh well. I'll stop whining now

Rave: Went to Kennywood with Ki yesterday and it was awesome.

Rant: It was Polish day, which I would have been completely FINE with if they wouldn't have been BLARING POLKA MUSIC ALL DAY. Polka is gross. lol.

Rave: The lines were ridiculously short, so it was pretty awesome. Ridiculously short meaning that there couldn't have been much more than 100-200 people in the entire park.

Rave: I'm running sound for the show that we're doing right now. I've never done sound before, but it's easy so YAY! There's literally only about 12 sound cues for the entire show.


Rave: Almost done with my job. I can't put up with my coworkers for much longer, anyway.

Rant: So I had this plan that today would be the day that I confront them about how awful I really think they are to me, but guess what? Today they're nice. It's like they have some sort of super radar that lets them know when I'm about to yell at them so they start being nice to me. That happened to me before too.

Rant: I have a lot of people that I need to call today, like..businesses. I don't like calling businesses. I can barely even handle calling my mom.

Rant: I think I messed up my braces, so I have to go to the Orthodontist like...right now. And I am....

Rave: Eating a cupcake. :)

Rant: Must leave NOW! Bye. lol

Solana- see, the funny thing about you going to see RENT is that...you're taking me. lol. Just kidding of course, but I still am really jealous that you're getting to see it on broadway even though I'm seeing the tour in spring.



Rant: Co-workers decided to be nice again. fjslfjaljfsdlafdf

Rant: I suck at running sound, especially when the CD player gets ANGRY and doesn't do what I tell it to. Basically what I'm saying is that I messed up all of my sound cues. For one, they skipped about 5 lines and went right to a cue line for me so I didn't know what was going on. Later the CD thought it would be nice to play the wrong thing. <_<

Rant: I realized how much like Edward Cullen I can be sometimes. lol. It's a little funny, but I have all of the traits from him that aren't good. lol. Except the hair. That's a good one. lol.

Rave: I just ate a TON of my mom's awesome salsa. I love it.

Rant: I want some cantalope, too, but I'm not hungry so I'm going to wait....Since, for some reason, I'm the only person in my family with mild self control.

Rant:I'm a lonely person. <_<

Rave: My three days at Stafford Uni rocked.

Rave: I have befriended a goup of the coolest people ever, i feel like i've known them for years. Thanks Stafford!

Rave: I got Breaking Dawn the day it came out.

Rant: I had to go into town with my bags from my hotel to do so.

Rant: i also haven't been able to read it all due to the uni trip but im getting there now.

Rant: Its 39 days till i get to go to uni. Too long.

Rant: Its also seven days till my results.

Rant: I cannot remember where i have to reply to on Lumos.

Rant: Both my laptops are now broke so internet time is limited, im on my sisters laptop which i can only use at night.

Rant: I have to buy a new laptop screen.

Rant: I have my driving test on satruday.

Rant: im stuck back at crappy home now.

Rave: But im leaving in under a month!

Solana:
Mel, lol sure but you have to come to NY. :D Have fun on the tour. I can't wait to see it again I remember when my friend first told me about it I thought 'CORNY', but then I saw the movie and play and I was HOOKED.

Rave: I got my ferret, a sable named Sasha! I always wanted to name a pet Sasha.

Rant: My mom is being a weirdo and saying she's afraid of my sweet ferret and said I had to give it away until I moved out. I said over my dead body. I spent almost $500 on that Ferret, it's gonna live with me FOREVER.

Rant: Ok, I have a 'Finding Nemo' tank, which is basically a tank with fish from finding nemo in it, and another tank for cool looking fish.

My clown fish died. :(

Rave: On the other hand my friend touched my Lionfish, which I told her she couldn't touch because they are poisionous, and had to go to the hospital. :) That's what she gets for not listening. Now she know's she can't touch my tang fish.

Rant: My brother is evil. I feel like selling him on Craigslist. Anyone want a 12 year old?
My mom's poodle is evil too.

Rave: I got the cutest new rock and roll shirt.

Rant: I lost my green and yellow flip flops. And my metro card!

Rave: Aria is a comet! yay 200 posts!

Rant: I don't know how to upload the video I made of Sasha swimming in my tub and playing to facebook or myspace. Only youtube. >.<

Rant: I wanted to buy a Racoon as a pet but I think they're illegal here. Now I'm looking into getting a skunk.

Yes I love animals. My mom wants to kill me because I have a dog, a cat, 2 rats, a ferret, two aquariums, and a rabbit. Now that I have the ferret I'm relocating the rabbit and I gave my birds away last year. I also was thinking of getting a sugar glider, but all of these animals are expensive. They better not think of getting sick, lol.

Rant: Exhausted. Stayed up till two, woke up at eight. I have to go to work. I'm not sure I'm going to make it through the day.

Rant: Still on verge of a complete mental breakdown. Greeeeat.

Rant: I don't have a place to stay tonight.

Rant: My friends are all leaving for college next week. I'm not ready for them to go. I know we all say we're gonna keep in touch and hang out. But how many of these people will really keep in touch? I don't want to be left behind, but I feel like I already have been. Blah.

Rave: I actually had a good time yesterday. . . :D

Rant: My BFF's boyfriend is completely jerking her about. She's a junior in HS he's starting college. He wants to go on a 'break' until he's settled in college. Which to me, means that he's keeping he's options open. If he finds a girl, he can my friend, if he doesn't then he can go crawling back to her. She doesn't see this. It's so frustrating. And I have no idea what to say to comfort her. I feel like an awful friend because I don't know how to help. I don't know the right things to say or do. I want to be there for her, but I don't know how I can do that....

Rant: I feel like such a whiner cause there really aren't any bad things going on in my life. Just a lot of change (I really don't deal with change well) and yet here I am moping over everything while a lot of people are far worse off than I.

Rave: my immediate boss is gone all next week...

Rant:...meaning I have to put up with other idiots.

Rave: Hanging out with good friend who is finally moving back here (he was working with his brothers company for the past 6 months like 2 hours north of me and came down on weekends)

Rave: I know (kinda) this amazing girl :)

Rant: Have a girlfriend who is also amazing, but sometimes it's more of a friendship

Rave: I'm happy

Rave: I love the Gap

Rant: I'm being made to get a hair cut (by said girlfriend; no kisses until then)

Rave: Not having to pay rent anymore

Rave: Went to gaurd practice today which was kinda fun

Rant: There wasn't much that I could do to help, so I was just kinda there.

Rant: I'm very close to tears. My two best friends are leaving for college tomorrow so we're saying our goodbyes today. And well... you can imagine how that goes.... *sigh*

Rant: I don't think anybody completely understands the way I'm feeling right now. I'm losing 2 of my best friends. Sure I have other friends around here, but those were the 2 girls who knew almost everything about me. I could go to them for anything. But now they're a good 2 hours away. So if I really need them I'm screwed. And they're gonna be making new friends. I'm so worried that we're gonna drift apart. They're rooming together too, and I don't see that going so well, so I'm worried that they're gonna end up hating each other by the end of the year, which leaves me stuck in the middle o.O oh man.....

Rave: Got a new job today :)

Rant: Means I'll be working two jobs

Rave: Equals more money....

Rave: the job is really close to home so I'll be saving a lot of money on gas

Rant: I'm not sure my parents are gonna let me drive down to UGA this week :(

Rave: I've started completely cleaning out my room.

Rant: My room's a big mess because of it.

Rave: Got a job that actually pays something

Rant: My best friend is moving

Rave: I cut my hair and dyed it red

Rant: school starts soon

Rave: school starts soon

Rant: my friends are gone

Rant: I need to call someone, but I don't know who to call. Everyone's busy....

Rant: Starting 2 jobs next week :( it's gonna suck

Rave: I'm saving more money

Rant: Things really aren't working out right now. My best friends have gone. Things are not working out with my friend (boyfriend... I dunno what you'd call it ..) I feel like I'm just not good enough.

Rant: I'm in that mindset right now... I'm not good enough, pretty enough, unwanted, unneeded. Which is ridulous. But that's exactly how I feel

Rant: Have to work tomorrow... and I've got art class

Rant: I was just working on my painting (I'm doing a sunrise over the ocean) and i hate the way I've done it. It just doesn't look right. I hope when I look at it tomorrow I'll find something that I like....gah. it's so frustrating. I had it pictured in my mind. But it's not coming out right. and it's so frustrating

rave: My parent's liked it.... ?

Rave: I think I might actually get to see my friends up at UGA at the end of this week. If I don't get to see them.... I don't know what I'm gonna do.

RANT: Okay so for work I ship agreements for my university to do scientific work with other universities/companies around the world. We recently changed how we do things and I rarely FedEx packages; I usually email. But recently we are needing to send the hard copies as well.

Anyways, I havent been printing the receipt with the tracking number and yesterday my boss (well my real boss, the secretary, is out, so this person is one step above her) was bitching at me because I didnt know about the change in procedure.

So I need to find a tracking number for something I sent on 11 AUG. But I try explaining it wont arrive to the place until 13 AUG (yesterday was the 12th). Nobody believes me. So I call FedEx. I ask if there is any place on line I can retreive the tracking number, she says no. I finally get confirmation that the pakage will arrive the 13th as scheduled.

Guess what? Since I was soo stressed about my bitchy boss I didn't search hard enough on FedEx's site. Today I found where I can get my tracking numbers. I hate FedEx employees and Sally (this week's boss).

Argh! Had to get it off of my chest. I'm glad I'm smarter than FedEx and my boss.

Rave: My money (scholarships and loans) were messed up for awhile and I was told I wasn't getting any from my University. But today everything came through and my scholarship was more than I thought, so I dont have to use any loan money, which means I can pay it off now. Woop.

Rant: Someone had the bright idea of having 55 cats, couldn't take care of them and gave them to the Humane society where I work, we already have more cats than we have room for, 2 cats just had litters(way cute by the way) Can't people use their brains? So now I have to look for other animal shelters who can take them. <_<

Rant: It was supposed to be my last day of work today, but they decided that they wanted the three of us to come in on Tuesday, too. dry.gif

Rave: Going to the mall for school shopping tomorrow. It's going to be a long day- tons of stores, hair cut, plus eating- but I love it. lol.

Rave: THERE'S A CHIC-FIL-A! I fr***en LOVE CHIC-FIL-A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0123_by_Adsero.gif 0123_by_Adsero.gif 0123_by_Adsero.gif 0123_by_Adsero.gif 0123_by_Adsero.gif 0123_by_Adsero.gif 0123_by_Adsero.gif 0123_by_Adsero.gif 0123_by_Adsero.gif biggrin.gif

Rant: My muscles and brain aren't very happy with me right now. I've been lifting things and checking paint all day. Yes, checking paint meaning going through all of the paint that we, as a THEATER, have and seeing if it's good or not. dry.gif

Rant: And we're not even done with the paint. I can't feel accomplished unless I was there when it was accomplished.

Rave: I did clean the orchestra pit today, though. So I accomplished SOMETHING. It was a mess but now it's...well...it's as good as it's gonna get. lol.

Rant: I think that...there was a coffin in there. The way that our stage works is that there's a part on each end of it that has a little bit open so we can store stuff there. One of these openings is in the pit, and I'm pretty sure I saw a coffin. O.O

Rave: I'm going school supply shopping on Sunday! biggrin.gif

Rave: Going to the zoo sometime before school. I IS GONNA SEE THE BABY ANIMALS! The baby elephant and the baby polar bears and the baby tigers! The pittsburgh zoo has so many baby animals. lol.

Rave: Also going to the Science Center sometime before school, too. They have a really cool Titanic exhibit right now. When you get your admission, they give you a replica boarding pass, which is awesome. lol. Then, in the actual exhibit, they have replicas of the rooms and everything. So um, I'm going to reenact Anything Goes and think about Edward Cullen a lot. lol.

Rave: Finally found a song that I'm going to audition for this thing with. biggrin.gif. I actually hate the song but I sing it pretty well.

Rant: My mom hasn't made dinner yet....O.O I think she's still napping.

Rave: I LOVE MAMMA MIA! Sorry to sound if I'm like...a trend follower or something, but I do actually really love it. We might be doing it next year for musical, apparently.

Rave: I'm so happy right now. smile.gif

Rant: Stupid funrun! Why do they even call it a funrun?! Firstly, it's NOT fun and secondly, no one even bothers to RUN. Except for those crazy boys/girls who arrived there in 41 minutes... They should call it the Very Tiring and Painful 10 kilometer Walk Which Takes 3 Hours. It might be a good view, but it's not good for my legs. They're still awfully sore...

Rave: We had to go back to school again! Up a hill! c**p!
I felt like I want to say a billion swear words then. And I thought running five laps around an oval in the rain was "worthy of swearing a billion times".

lmao, Mona. I also always hated funruns...

Rave: I did a shooting session the other day on hourse back, with amazing Max Mara cloths for teenagers.

Rant: Fell off the hourse once, on my back. It hurt like hell. (a light breeze made a banner shivver, the horse got scared and started running. I didn't know it, so I fell off at the very beggining).

Rave: Didn't break anything, so I can keep shooting.

Rave: A really cute male model offered me a drink! *sqeales*

Rant: The stable lady kept shooting me dirty looks all way through, even thought it wasn't my fault.

Rave: I got payed £45.99 for the last two photos! YAY! Go shopping!

That's about it. And, oh, yeah.

Rant: my legs are killing me. And I didn't even gallop on hourse back!

rant: sisters are so annoying! I'm saying this quietly.

rave: my first rant/rave. *sigh* Very tired.. even though, today was a pupil free day, I'm tired.

rant: I just got Mona right off the computer. She's off to the other one. Finally! I got victory over this computer!

rave: I've got nothing else to say.

Lol, don't tell me about it, Calum. My sister and I are always fighting over that kind of things.

Rave: We're going to the seaside in two hours time.

Rant: Everyone's probably gone back home at this time, so there will probably be noone.

Rave: I'll get suntanded... And I love getting suntanned! :lol:

Rant: ...but I'll go back white pretty soon too! :(

Yeah, that's it! oh yeah,

Rant/Rave: Photoshooting sessions are over until late of September!

Rant: Freshman students who are moving into dorms...and their idiot parents.

Rave: People like me, my girlfriend, her brother, and Cameron (their coworker) who have worked on campus all summer and drive around in our golf cart making fun of said idiots. Giving them incorrect directions.

Rave: I'm being a TA this semester!

Raveish: In an hour I am doing this leadership thing where I show freshman around the College of Education at ASU.

Rant: Moving all of my crap out of my apartment.

Rave: Converting two rooms at parents house to mini-apartment. FREE RENT.

Rant: Some people on Lumos, ugh.

Rave: Lumos!

RAVE!!!: Season 2 of Dexter is now mine to watch on DVD

[FONT=Courier][SIZE=2][COLOR=pink]

Rave: Not starting school until January.

Rant: Have to actually save money now.

Rave: Re-opening my lip ring hole and getting a monroe piercing today!

Rant: The lip is going to hurt because once it heals the skin is tougher.

Rave: Buying my pet Dumbo Rat, from Petco tomorrow.

Rave: Going to see a really dumb movie tonight [The House Bunny]
& eating I-HOP

Rant: Still haven't found an apartment

Rave: Working nights! 'nuff said.

Rant: Lost my copy of 'Mystic River' the novel not the film.

Rave: Aria's a snitch.

Rant: Haven't slept a wink. ;)

RAVE: Rent is coming up!!

Rave: I am FINALLY done with work for the summer. Okay, I was definitely done on Tuesday, but I didn't post in this topic on Tuesday. lol.

Rant: School.

Rave: SCHOOL!

Rave: We're getting our schedules today at four o'clock. Online. lol.

Rave: I had a great time at my friend's party last night.

Rant: One of my friends happens to be his ex-girlfriend, though. She was fine for the first half of the party, but then she decided that she was miserable. Anything anyone did or said made it worse. Eventually she just walked out of the house and sat outside. She made a huge ordeal out of something that did not need to be dramatized to that extent. So, even though this was a birthday party, by the end of the night, the entire focus was on her. Even then she was moody and p*ssed off. As much as I love her I just wanted to slap her across the face.

Rant: Work yesterday, work today... I didn't get back from work until midnight last night, and then I couldn't sleep. So I finally fell asleep at 7AM.... I'm now running on 3 hours of sleep, and I have to make it through work today. Joooooooy. I'm so tired. Scratch that, I'm absolutely exhausted.

Rant: Though I thought it was kinda funny, it kinda p****d me off too. I was leaving work and there was this guy (absolutely drunk). He goes, "Aaaaw babe, you're leavin?" I could hardly understand him he was so drunk. I was like yeah, I gotta go home. His reaction... "I'll take you home." I secretly home I don't have to seem him drunk again. He'd been staring at me all night, and it was kinda creepy. And yet, I found that all rather amusing.

Rant: Last night was insane. I was about to drop dread. We ran out of silverware... Seriously. I was rolling silverware all night and there was never enough. It was ridiculous. So I had customers getting mad at me for things I couldn't help. Seriously though, we're a pizza restaurant, we serve mostly pizza. Do you really need silverware to eat pizza? I don't think so. Gah that was so frustrating.

Rave: I've earned close to 200 bucks this week. And I really didn't even work all that much... I'm kinda happy about that. I just have to keep reminding myself how much money I've earned :)

Rant: I was on my home last night from work and my dad called me and started yelling at me about how my parents couldn't go to sleep until I got home, and my dad had to wake up at 7 and he didn't think that this was fair to them, and he didn't see how it was gonna work if I was at work this late all the time. I mean seriously? My dad's the one who's breathing down my neck about saving enough money for college and needing another job. I finally get one and he's yelling at me about it? What the h*ll am I sposed to do? Gah!

Rave: People at work are so awesome :)

Rant: I officially can't deal with my neighbors any more. They make the most noise outside as humanly possible at 9:30 at least once a week. Whenever school starts, it's 5:30. No, this is not noise from inside their house, it's from the outside. I'm the only person in my house that can hear it, though, because my room is closest to their house. Normally it's their FIVE dogs barking all at the same time, other times it's them shouting expletives at each other. Quite a few times they've been BUILDING THINGS. At 9 IN THE MORNING. Don't they realize that people DO sleep at 9:30? Are they really that inconsiderate? Guess what I woke up to today? The non-stop banging of a hammer on metal. They're trying to assemble a new grill completely with a hammer. When I say nonstop, that's pretty literal, too. I want to say something to them about it (politely), but no matter how nice I would be, my parents would tell me not to. This has been two mornings in a row that I've been sleep deprived because of them being noisy.

Rave: Going to the zoo today!

Rave: My mom wants to go to about a million other places today, too, though. O.O Including the theater, a museum, and Wal-Mart. <_<


Rave: There's two baby elephants and a baby tiger right nowwwww. Guess who's taking their camera. lol.




~Mel

Rant: I have to stay at my Mums here for the weekend and its SO boring.

Rave: I get to go home soon!

Rant/Rave: My friends found out I have been sliting my wrists so I have decided to stop for their sakes. Plus the whole not dying and geting ugly scars down my wrists is a plus to.

Rant: Because of the stupid time zone whenever I get on Lumos you all are off or about to go off.

Rave: I have camp coing up soon YAY.

Rant: I liked this guy then I found out he has a girlfriend! Also now he is acting like a jerk.

Rave: I have the St Thomas's dance on Friday. YAY!

Rant: MY DAD IS SAYING HE IS A F*CKING PENGUIN! He even made up a song (its kinda cute) to thye tune of "I'm a little teapot"

I'm a little penguin, short and sweet.
Here are my flippers, here are my feet.
When I'm in the water here me squeak.
Theres some tuna lets go eat.

I have had that stuck in my head for the last few days! Grrrr

Rave: I found out one of my friends lives down my road

Rant: Getting sick. I have a cough and basically can't breath :( I'm babysitting for at least 8 hours tomorrow and have a double shift on friday and working most of saturday as well. That's not gonna work so well if I can't breath :( Gah

Rant: I miss my friends so much. I already feel the drift. I've gotten closer to one of my friends, but I feel like I'm losing everyone else.

Rant: Ant infestation in my house. :blink:

Rant: I'm so tired, but I can't sleep.

Rave: I get sunday off. I'm really looking forward to that.

Rant: My brother isn't coming home for his birthday :( I wish he were closer to home. I miss him a lot.

Rant: The kids I'm babysitting for tomorrow are little nightmares. They don't like me. They won't listen to me. They scream, kick, punhc, bite. . . It's going to be a loooong day.

Rave: I spent a bunch of money on clothes today. I love buying new clothes. It makes me feel better.

Rant: Half way through shopping I realized how much more fun it would've been if my friends had been there with me. Too bad they don't live here anymore.
