Weekend - Minus the Weekend

Friday after school was a blast. Sam and I went to Emily's house and we hung out for like 2 hours with Emily's mom who is like, the coolest. Then we actually started to work on our English project, getting ideas down on paper, and then starting the actual project.

Then her dad came home, and he wasn't too happy at first, but he was fine after dinner, which was pasta, and was the bomb.

Then we went to Sam's house to scan in the awesome drawing she did for the cover of our "Year on Mango Street" year book. Sam drew it and it looked awesome. We ended up forgetting the floppy disk at Emily's house, but it was too damn cold to walk back to her house to get it.

We hung out at Sam's for a while, and her dog is crazy, but cool. We made some...wierd cookies, that were interesting, but as Sam's mother said, that's what happens when Sam cooks.

Oh well, Friday was an awesome night. Haha.

But then came Saturday. I woke up feeling awful! My stomach was turning, I felt dizzy and week. Needless to say I was extremely sick and I don't know why. Emily and Sam (as far as I know) are both feeling fine so it wasn't something we ate. I'll leave out all the details of how sick I am, but the weekend has sucked.

Now it's Sunday and I'm feeling better, but still sick. Dizzy, stomach ache, weak. I don't know. Maybe I won't go to school on Monday. Depends on how I feel and how tired I am. Hopefully I will get over whatever this is soon, because I don't want to miss school because dealing with make-up work and teachers. It's not worth missing school (most of the time).

Over the Curb

Okay. Well for the first time this winter season, I actually had to go out and shovel. Yes, I know, horrifying. But yes, I spent 20 minutes shoveling the sidewalks, and all that jazz, and then, a half hour later when I looked out the window, a plow came by.

Now, here's where it gets interesting.

The plow, being as gigantuous as it is, is going down my street at a fairly high speed, most likely faster than the speed limit. It is going so fast, that the snow it should be pushing off to the side of the road, "flows" with the shape of the plow, and it JUMPED the curb, the rather large pile of snow from the previous blizzard that we had, and onto the sidewalk.

Grrr.

All of my hard work of shoveling, shot to shit. I was furious.

Now, to the Department of Transportation residing in East Hartford hidden from everyone so we can't attack you - WhatIsUpWithThat?

Someone spends all day shoveling, and then you come by, after the end of the snowing, to just make everyone start over again at square one. Who do you think you are? What if I was an old lady and then had a heart attack because of your lack of care in your job? I would sue your ass for all you were worth.

Seriously. I went out to shovel, after the snow ended, and then you come by after I shovel, and put me back to square one. I expected that I'd have to shovel the driveway apron again, but not my damn sidewalk.

LEARN TO PLOW!

Just for Shawna

Well, today, on our God give, much needed day off from school, my plans did not originally include writing in my blog. However, at the request of my friend Shawna, I am updating it. See what lengths I am willing to go to for you guys?

Anyways. Yes. A snow day. Isn't that great?

Anyways. Mother left a list of things for myself and my brothers (well not for them, but I am making them help) to do. Dishes. Laundry. Shovel. Exactly what I want to do on my day off. Thanks mother.

Well I could do them now, and get them out of the way, I'm too lazy and too comfortable where I am. I know, I know.

Computer Science

Well, today is the first day of computer science without my bestest buddy Monica. Tear. Sniffle. Wailing sobs. Blows nose.

Yes, Monica has left the building. For good. Yes, very sad, I know.

But, always looking on the positive, I am. So, today was the first day of mine and Leira's bonding. Leira is my new buddy for computer science, and we will have a great time. Yes, great. We don't need Monica to have a great time.

Scratch that. We do.

But, we can live without her.

Scratch that. We can't.

Anyways, we have decided to keep an empty chair in her memory. But, that will start tomorrow. I know, I'm slacking. Bad Keith, I know. It was all Leira's fault.

Shopping

So, Friday was mother's birthday. Woo, happy birthday mother. We just won't reveal her age.

Yea, last day of midterms was only two hours (lucky for us non-IB people). When I got home, mother was just leaving to go shopping and I joined her. Yes, well 4 hours later and lots of money too, we got home with plenty of things. She got some sewing supplies (ugh) and then we had lunch and the works. I stopped and picked up some new shoes, although one pair is being shipped because they were out of my size. Oh well, they'll be here in a couple of days.

Saturday mother and I went to do our normal business with my aunt. She started up a non-profit and mother and I are actively involved with it. Then we went to lunch at this banging resturaunt in Manchester, called Manchester Grill. Definitely go there, if you can. It's worth it. Trust me. Great food, good prices, excellent services, and nice facility.

Yea, today was boring as hell. Snow, and Mike had his lovely (not) girlfriend over. He should just dump her. She's clingy, and annoying, and yea. Not to be mean, but ugh.

Then he went to work, and the second he got back, they were on the phone. I swear if something happened and they couldn't talk or see each other for five minutes they would fall off the face of the earth. Hmm, how can I make this happen?

Like Frozen Dog Shit

Yes, so I haven't updated my blog in a while. I know, I know, I've been slacking. Save your breath. I was only trying to think up some kick ass content and topics to put in here. So yea.

Well, an update on my life:

Midterms this week. They sucked ass. But then again, what should one expect? Come on now, I do have to say that I enjoyed the half days, and the minor 2 hour day on Friday, but I am definiately going to welcome back a normal day at school, only because it won't be four and a half long, painful, excrutiatingly hard tests. Overall, I think they went okay. I hope I did good(ish).

But yes. Why the title? Well at one point in my life (can't remeber which) I was having a friendly conversation with Matt L and asked him how was life. He, very surprisingly, responded "Like Frozen Dog Shit". My first response was to say "Woa now, what is up with that?" but I eventually got it out of him that he had to clean up dog shit in his yard, that just happened to be frozen because mother nature seems to like zero degree weather and fifty mile an hour winds that just make it seem like negative ten. Ohhh well. She can't keep that up forever. Spring will be upon us soon and boy I cannot wait.

Drama Drama Drama

Yea, my life right now is mostly filled with drama. And since I'm one of the lucky (yea right) few who have an IB class, I am included with the IB drama as well as the EHHS drama.

Well, I must say that IB has much more drama, that is much larger at once. EHHS seems to have none compared to them, or maybe I'm just completely clueless as to the high school. I don't know, you tell me.

But yea, there has been certain drama in IB that has been extremely, extremely hurtful to many, but I do think that with time things will change. Just, give it time.

Man's Best Friend

Over the past few days, I have come to find out why the expression "Dog is Man's best friend" came to be.

The past few days in school I have come to find that the people around me are not who they seem to be. Too many people have been false-faced in front of me, and it makes me very upset. They have lied to me, told me run-arounds, and all along have made it seem like we were friends.

Mostly, people only do what is needed for the things they want. Too many times have I been shutdown by people who I thought were my friends, but then they came running back when they needed help with some school assignment, or if there was something interesting going on in my life that they wanted the information about. That makes me sick to my stomach.

Now, I do realize that I'm not perfect either. I do realize that I have hurt people before, probably in the same ways, but that doesn't mean that I don't regret it, let alone feel bad about it all. I just wish that people would be honest with what they truly think and feel.

"Man's best friend" came to be because a dog is a loyal pet. They love their human companioin unconditionally, and their human companion loves them back. They don't lie to you, they don't give you run-arounds (unless it's in the back yard playing fetch or various other activities) and they aren't a false friend. A dog is someone you can trust not to tell anyone the secrets you share. A dog is the perfect friend.

Cheating

Okay. As many of you know, I was the talk of the day today, all because of, what we like to call, RUMORS!

Lets get this started.

Over Holiday Vacation, Jane had a New Year's Eve Party and at this party we all went outside to have a snow ball fight around 2am. Marissa and I decided we were cold, and went inside, got her sleeping bag, unzipped it like a quilt, and put it over the two of us in two separate chairs. We talked, shared some stories, caught up with each other, and had a good time.

Now, for the rumor.

Marissa and I had decided that it would be funny to share that her and I had shared a sleeping bag. Heh. So, this morning, before the start of B period, it was shared with one person that "Marissa and Keith shared a sleeping bag."

SHAME ON YOU!

This entire time, all we wanted to do was see how the X-Team deals with rumors, and I'm sorry to inform you all, but you failed. What started out as simple as it was, became horribly escalated to something completely untrue: "Keith cheated on Becky." You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Creating rumors that are not true. Tisk tisk! And to those of you who only kept spreading it, shame on you too.

Oh, and I didn't cheat on Becky. Nothing happened between Marissa and I, and neither of us feel anything for each other beyond just being friends.

I think you should all rethink the things you do.

Readers

Okay, just because I want to, I am going to do this:

IF you read my blog, please post a comment, and please sign it. That's all I'm asking.

I'm just trying to find out who reads.

Oh, and if you have any comments, questions, concerns, or complaints, you can post them too.

Chemistry Project

I'm writing this entry, not because I'm procrastinating doing my Chemistry Project, but because I'm bored, and I don't want to do my chemistry project. It's just that simple. Duh.

Yea, so today definitely was awful. I woke up to my brother's girlfriend calling at 9:30. Woa now, it's called manners, get some. It's rude to call someone's house before like 1pm on weekends, unless it's an emergency. All they did was like talk about shit and fight, and all. Boring, and annoying.

Then, I spent a while helping my dad clean out the basement, which we were supposed to do during vacation, not at the end. Yea, although, I do have to say that it looks good. As far as basements go of course.

Yea, my little brother got to have a friend over, and Mike was at work. Naturally I was the only one who could help. Whatever.

I wanted to go shopping at one point, because I still have all but $15 of my Christmas money left, but mom wouldn't take me. You know how much she drags me along with her? That is so not fair. Not Fair!

Anyways, now I'm upstairs, still procrastinating doing my chemistry project. Oh well, I have all week, I can't hand it in tomorrow anyways because my pictures haven't been developed, that is to say, I haven't sent them in to get developed. Oh well.

MONICA!!!

MONICA SMITH

Woa now. She's leaving IB. One word, five syllables for my best friend in the back of the computer science room - WhatIsUpWithThat?

I can't believe that you are leaving! Who am I going to sit with in computer science and still be able to have a blast with? Liera is cool and all, but woa, she's not the same. What am I going to do in that class? Work?

This can't be happening. I am so not allowing you to leave.

IB just droped like
398572198347921387409128743901

Totally true.

Bagel: or are they just like waaaay negative now
Me: they are just like waaaay negative

We will all miss you Monica Smith.

New Jersians

Thank you all for your responses to my question, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Thank you for looking up "New Jersians" but I am almost convinced that there was another word for it, almost like a nickname sort of. Oh well.

Yea, so if you can think of it, or if you are some random person reading my blog who happens to be from New Jersey, let me know.

New Jersey

Okay. It's new years day, and for some reason, my brother feels it is necessary to talk to his girlfriend on the phone, annoying the crap out of me. They are fighting, and being stubborn, and stupid. Oh well.

As if that is not enough, they ask me a question which I do not know the answer to, and now I am going to be bugged with finding it out. This question will haunt me until I know the answer!

Q:

A person from Boston is also known as a Bostonian. What is a person from New Jersey also known as?

Yes, submit your answers in a comment. This is really bugging me.

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
