Jessica, where art thou?

Hannah and I are going on a field trip to find Jessica. 

Me: Has Jessica died?

Hannah: Jessica? ;o

Me: I haven't seen her. :(

Hannah: I haven't seen her either |:

Me: Oh noes! We must travel to find her.

Me: FIELD TRIP!

Hannah: OKAY :D

Me: Sounds like a plan!

Me: I'll bring the juiceboxes!

Hannah: I'll bring the "My name is" stickers

Me: Awesome! I'll bring the sign that says "Looking for Jessica" with a reward of 2 shiny pencils.

Hannah: I'll bring the peanut butter sandwiches

Me: YES! Now we won't starve!

Me: I bet if we brought a ton of attractive men with us we could find her in a heartbeat...
...and I would be happy. So can I meet you on say, that one street in China with the people on it by that one big building?

Hannah: Deal.

Hannah: Wait. The building with the OTHER people too as well, right?

Me: LOL. yes :D

Me: Okay, so I'll meet you on Saturday your time, Friday my time. I'm boarding the flight to LA right 

now!

Hannah: See you at the airport ^_^

Me: Okay!

Me: *end scene*

Hannah: *curtains*

We are on a mission, people.

Consider me happy and free.

Yes,  I did change my template because I am happy and just learned how.

I had the best day yesterday/this afternoon. Seriously. Nothing could've been better. Let's do this thing.

Friday morning: Wake up and go to school. I had tea, so my taste buds were happy.

First Block: EHAP. My teacher was slaphappy, and as a 70 year old man, did an Irish Jig in front of class. It was hilarious, and I was explosively happy.

Third Block (I only had odd blocks): I took the standardized assesment, and upon completing it began watching "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". But what I really did was listen to my acquaintance talk about drugs, which was enlightening. Not that I plan to start them.

Fifth Block: Best drama class yet. All the lovely freshman all gathered around and we started telling jokes. The circle went like so:
Gibby: The hilariously awkward kid, who is dating Charlotte. He read most of the jokes.
Ian: Classic jock, he messes with kids about being gay, but secretly I think he is gay.
Dancerboy: You know about him. I don't like him anymore, but we are still friends. He got a haircut, and looks like Edward.
Charlotte: The dirty girl who doesn't care if you know it. She is cool for sure. Dating Gibby.
Me: Quiet in that class, and the resident "indie" kid. I'm not really indie though, so don't believe that.
Christine: The perfect goodie-goodie. Extremely innocent.
Hovering- William: One of the most annoying kids ever. I don't think he gets sex jokes. He is very loud though. He didn't really talk much.. Or laugh.

So we were in the circle, and we were just telling jokes. They started out harmless, and then we went to antijokes. And then we got on a reddit thread of "Offensive Jokes". As Gibby read the jokes to the group his voice got softer and softer. Our sub actually fell asleep. The dirtier the joke, the softer his voice. The jokes were EXTREMELY offensive to every single minority possible. Still, we laughed. By the middle, we decided that we were all going to hell.  They were jokes that you would slap yourself for laughing at, but you just couldn't help it. On occasion William would ask what a joke meant. We just couldn't bring ourselves to answering, they were that bad.  While I sat there I realized that this is what I missed from my old group of friends in 7th grade. We were all a community, joining because of a similar sense of humor. For the record, I am not at all racist, sexist, or prejudiced to any groups of people. Neither are the people in that group. They just know how to laugh. At first I felt bad laughing, and I didn't know if I should. But then we were all like, "Hell, we know this stuff is funny, and sometimes you just need to have time like this". If I were to wish for one thing I would wish these kind of community moments would happen more often. Not necessarily being a community because of offensive jokes, but any community where people just get a side of me. I'm definitely the girl who was yelling "KINDNESS!" while laughing uncontrollably. So, yeah I guess the main point is that I had the best time with them.

Seventh Block: In Spanish we just did a lot of silly learning things. They weren't too bad, and I was so slaphappy, I couldn't care if they were boring.

Then after school I talked to my friend Meghan whom I have missed dearly lately. She is one of those people that gives you tons of compliments and makes you feel awesome. I passed by her while walking with a couple of other friends, and stopped to talk to her and she was like, "Thais! Oh how I have missed you darling. I love you so much prettylady...". She also said a bunch of other stuff, but I don't feel like transcribing our conversation. Basically, she puts me on top of the world.  I came home and ate Chipotle, which was beyond delicious. I proceeded to get online and look at whatever I wanted. I chatted with a few people, videochatted Janie, and then went to the book of faces where I talked to Jessica about attractive men, which was one of the most lovely conversations I have had in forever. Definitely was a community moment, even if she is just one person. People full of awesome are worth like 3 people. Yeps.

Finally I went to asleep at 12:14pm, and woke up at 11:55am today. Well rested I ate ice cream for breakfast, and a tuna sandwich with red peppers and cheese. Then I talked to Tia again (finally) and at 4:56 the father came in and asked if I wanted to go to church. Upon my answering "No" he left, symbolizing my freedom! Ah, I am so excited. The parents have officially given up on me. It feels so good.

I don't think hormones cause my mood swings.

So, I am going to the BEST CAMP EVER this summer to learn Spanish even more than I am learning now. I am so pumped. I got the huge packet of greatness today. It had my "passport" and all the information about camp and everything awesome that will be happening. I was grinning from ear to ear and just.. it was magical, really. I haven't been that happy in forever. I mean, I've been happy, but not grin-ear-to-ear happy. So then I dashed upstairs gleefully skipping. Then my father calls for me to come and throw my apple away. Grr. I was hoping mom would do that for me. So, I bring my phone, blaring my music down and throw away the stupid apple. Then I get a list of other stuff to do (dishes, set the table, put my crap away blahblahblah) FINALLY, once I finish, I stomp up to my room, where I am now. I am blaring my music. And I am angry.

My parents demands make me have mood swings.

On a lighter note, I had an awesome vacation, and I'll be returning to school tomorrow! Why am I excited? I haven't a clue. Let's get this quarter over with so I can go to camp, right?

Empowered,
Nala

Empowering Song: Strip Me by Natasha Bedingfield

Psych. Flattery. Break.

So, the Psych classes every year do this thing where two people have one person blindfolded, and bring them to different rooms in the school to see if the blindfolded person will know what classroom it is. So, today two groups of kids came in with their blindfolded people to my english class. My teacher is mexican, and can speak spanish, so when they came in we all started saying random words in Spanish. Here's what the kiddos walked in to.
Teacher: AY AY AY! Mis estudiantes! Callate!
Student A: HOLAAAAAA! Como estas?
Student B: ARRRRRRRIBA!
Student C: FUI, FUI, DI, VINE, TUVE, HICE, PUSE, Y ESTUVE, QUISE, PUDE, SUPE, DIJE, TRAJE, Y ANDUUUUUUVE.
Student D: Donde. Estan. Mis. Pantalones.
Student E: En sus piernas?
Student F: No! Perdilos!
Student G (me): Ay dios mio...
Blindfolded kid: Uhm... Spanish one class?
My English class: heeheeehee, you have been tricked!

Yes, we were annoying. No, we don't care.

Then later in drama my duet partner and I were working on a scene in British English, and this girl who I did NOT know was British was like, "Uhm, you suck at sounding British. Just fyi". So I told her that she gets to teach me the ways now. I think I'm doing alright. I realized that I still make my vowels too harsh for a British person.

Alsooooo, there is the most ADORABLE girl in my drama class and she dresses so perfectly and fashionably every single day. And guess what? She adopted my style for today! Without telling me it was going to happen. But she I come in, and she's like, "Guess who I'm stealing my trends from today?" And I was like, "Uhm.. Teen Vogue like everyday?" And she's like, "No silly! You! You little trendsetter, you." Needless to say, I'm flattered. I loved her so much, and she's just racking up points on the "Flatter Thais and You Win More Points" meter.

Lastly, I'm going to escape tomorrow. Spring Break. Yes. I can't decide whether or not I'll bring my Macipoo, but if I do, hopefully I won't use it too much. I need some serious relaxation time to clear my head.

P.S. iPad 2's go on sale tomorrow at 5pm. My dad already decided that we are getting one if they aren't all sold out. They better not be. I love being a part of a Mac family.
