Ad Canvassing Fail?

So I hate my journalism teacher.

It's like, definite now.

First, he makes the entire class stay after school until six o'clock once a month and expects everyone to arrange their own rides home. Even though not everyone can drive. And I don't know about everyone else, but my mom is losing pay so she can leave work early to come get me.

Second, he gets mad at one of my friends for not being able to stay until six o'clock because she has to watch her one year old sister. Very cool.

Third, me and a couple friends formed a group to go ad canvassing - in other words, to go around shops and ask managers if they want to take out an ad in the school paper - at a shopping center near my house. These friends can drive, and I can walk to the shopping center.
Does he even give us a chance to suggest this?
Naw.
He gives us a shopping center near the two friends' houses, and neither of them want to give me a ride.
Of course, they don't tell me they can't give me a ride until eleven o'clock, which was when we were supposed to be meeting.
And now one of those friends is vehemently denying the fact that we decided on the easier shopping center, but whatever.

It really doesn't matter, I guess.

Just a bunch of bullshit.

I hate that teacher, and I'm really starting to hate the class.

I'm Buying Plane Tickets to Illinois for June/July 2010. Mkay?

Yeah. I think I'm going to save up about $275 for a plane ticket to Illinois to visit my bestest friend that I've neverever met before.

Anyway.

So I went Black Friday shopping with Boyfriend yesterday, and it was just like any other weekend at the mall. The crowd wasn't that bad. It was only bad for the people on methamphetamines that went at like, five in the morning.

But I got two people Christmas presents, and I have like... two more to go.

And I still have like, 55 bucks to spend :D Woo!

I'm gonna get myself a resistance band jont to work out. Because um... there's this amazing boy that has an equally amazing body that I feel very out-of-shape next to.

And I just ate one of the most fattening things in the world, so I need to go on like, a twelve hour walk.

FUCK MY STOMACH PUDGE.

:(

This is My Post For Tomorrow

So Thanksgiving was not bad. At all.

I went to my dad's for the first time in eight months. And it was as if nothing had ever happened. But I think I trust him a little more now. More than I did for a while. Which was not at all.

So now that that bullet has finally been bitten, I might start going over there again. And Boyfriend isn't entirely thrilled with that idea. Honestly, I'm kind of anxious, too. But I guess... we'll just see what happens. Which has been my philosophy for life lately. We'll just see how things go.

So yeah. Turkey Day is over, and I get to see Boyfriend tomorrow, all day. I miss him. Which sounds odd, considering I see him every day at school and talk to him every night. I dunno.

But yeah.

So everything was pretty... okay.

Haha.

I can't wait to be a vegetarian.

A Bit of News

I guess posting twice in one day makes up for my lack of posting yesterday.

Um, I'm kind of cheating on Blogger a little bit.

Joey's Tumblr

...

Yeahhh.

I'll still post here!

Probably more personal stuff will go here, and then just other random things regarding movies, music, and just little ramblings will go on Tumblr.

I kind of like it better than Blogger, actually. The set-up is much more... organized.

><

I love all you Blogger people still.

And I'm not going anywhere!!!

But for all you class of '09ers that I've discovered love my little annoying rantings and ravings, you might wanna follow that jont, too.

Mkay?

I'm not letting this fame get to my head, am I?

:)

The FAME.

(Totally ignoring the fact that I'm horrible at this NaBloPoMo nonsense and didn't post yesterday.)

So apparently, I'm a wee bit for famous than I thought.

THE CLASS OF 2009 LOVES MEEEEEE.

:)

Today is, as you know, the day before Thanksgiving, and we have one of those bullshit half days high school students haven't really seen much of since their pre-secondary-school days. So a lot of --

BREAKING NEWS

I just received a tweet from Semi-Precious Weapons that today is their LAST DAY IN THE RECORDING STUDIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMGNEWALBUMNEWALBUMNEWALBUM SQUEEEEEE.

--graduates came to visit their favorite teachers. In second period journalism, a girl whose name I WISH I knew (sorry, mysterious fan D:) told me that a LOT of last-year seniors read my blog. Like, a LOT. And they get all excited when I update.

DO YOU KNOW HOW FAMOUS I FEEL?

GAHHHHHHH!!!

YAY CLASS OF '09! YOU'RE SO MUCH COOLER THAN THE CLASS OF '10 BECAUSE THEY'RE A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES MOSTLY KINDA!!!

I wish I was a junior ><

Anyway.

So yeah, that takes care of that :)

Um, would someone mind telling me why I have a really weird taste at the back of my throat after I eat or drink anything? Because I'm a little concerned.

But yeah. Uhm. No school for two days :) But something very scary/exciting is happening tomorrow.

I'm seeing my dad for the first time in almost eight months.

I'm going to his house for Thanksgiving, and I'm really anxious, but I think I'm ready.

Wish me luck?

And then the rest of this little mini-break should be chill. Boyfriend's house Friday, and then ad-canvassing for the school newspaper with cool people on Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully, I'll be able to do Christmas shopping one of those days. My BFFL tried to get me to agree to wake up at like, four in the morning to hit all the Black Friday sales.

Pardon my French, but EFF THAT.

So yeah.

That's... about the height of it.

YAY.

PS: You need to check out "Monster" by Lady Gaga. NOW. It's like crack.

Ohhay, Let's Take a Sick Day Out of a Two and a Half Day Week.

Of course, last night, I felt like shit, and this morning, I woke up feeling worse.

So I didn't go to school, and I only have two and a half days of school this week.

Plus I'm just not a happy camper right now.

Suffice it to say that I'll never make anyone happy, and I'll probably die a miserable old cat lady.

With a penis.

Anyway.

On with the Music Monday.

Regina Spektor

Okay, so this woman is pretty much perfect. She mixes her upbeat melodies with beautiful ballads, and all of the lyrics are incredibly clever and have a deeper-than-what's-on-the-surface meaning. The music is just fantastic, and Spektor is very good with her fingers - on the piano, that is.

My favorite album from her is called "Begin to Hope," but the one pictured above is called "Far." They're both amazing, as is her older one, "Soviet Kitsch."'

(Don't sue me if I got the spelling wrong. But I'm pretty sure I didn't.)

Definitely check Regina Spektor out. Her new... I don't know if it's a single, but there's a video for it... well, whatever, it's called "Dance Anthem of the '80s." It's very cute. As are most of her other songs. A song that I find very powerful from her "Begin to Hope" album is called "Samson." Definitely listen to it - it'll tug on your heartstrings.
