apologies for that lack of posting. I did get my schedule! and I did stand in the academy's humid and absolutely packed "library" for an hour and a half in hopes of actually buying my textbooks!
my schedule is made out of happiness and suicidal ideation in equal parts. I have five [possibly 6, I'll let her elaborate on that if she chooses to] classes with c, and my theology teacher is indeed the guitar-playing nun instead of mrs. babiez. praise god.
on the other hand, I looked through some of the books we'll be reading. namely the theology ones. they all look super classy. of course, one trashes the hippies [we have at least one book every year like that] and one is entirely about the mystery of femininity and how We Have The Power over guys, yet our only purpose in life is to have babiez and more babiez. uuuugh I don't like learning this for a grade.
while traipsing around the building I noticed that sometime when I wasn't looking they put even more decals around. pretty soon this place is going to be famous for all the shit they've plastered on their walls. we have a huge bust of some saint sticking out of the wall quite precariously OVER a staircase, as well as "inspirational" quotes painted or iron-on-transferred onto the walls. sure, we have some from the founder of the school and the obligatory eleanor roosevelt wisdom and bible passages, but one is from shrek, and one is a badly reworded kurt cobain quote with no attribution. that's right girlies, shrek is the path to jesus, but grunge will make you shoot yourself.
shane isn't in any of my classes. ava is in two, I think. I haven't heard from anyone else.
I say this year will be excellent.
today one of the librarians told me I should write a blog. I so wanted to laugh at that, but instead I smiled and nodded. I'll let her wonder...
edit: OH MY GOD, did I ever mention that shane is magically coming back to the academy anyway? if I did, well, I'm an idiot but forgive me because it's late.

seeking the Tacky with a capital T
a second spamtastic post in one day. I changed the blog a bit. only in two places, though. I put the header into my very favorite font, Italic Times New Roman [I suck], and changed the hover color on the links. it is now red. if you move your mouse really fast over a link repeatedly you can have a seizure! yay! it's like the vegas strip or pokemon in 1999 or tacky christmas yards IN ACTION!!! go on, try it.
ALSO I GET MY SCHEDULE TOMORROW AND I AM EXCITED. I really want to know who I'll have for theology. will it be the guitar-playing nun who is so very fond of reading us Inspirational Passages from chicken soup for the soul in lieu of prayer? or will it be mrs. babiez and her "seek the Truth with a capital T"? ah, one wonders.
expect more rambling on this topic tomorrow.

I cleaned my room last night and found $271 in cash. I like this.
I am so freakin' exhausted. today I went on a college tour that required about five hours of driving. shoot me. college was nice. since it was a state school I will not reveal where we went. but it was very nice.
I just thought I should update. I'm adding a new tag for college application drama, which there is sure to be much of.
also, good to know I'm consistent:
c (6:18:29 PM): even that was questionable sometimes. I knew you would say depeche mode.

joy.
if it makes anyone feel any better, I am less angry now. I've been talking to ava and I don't want to strangle her quite so much. [there is, of course, that since I am a teenager I supposedly want to strangle everyone.] C and I worked in conjunction and got her to listen to the pet shop boys, which added some brilliant amusement into my thursday night.
ah well, life goes on... school starts in like two weeks. here goes my summer reading!:
a tree fails in brooklyn: according to the masses on my facebook feed, everyone adores this book. to which I say, WHY? it's 500 pages long [okay, I exaggerate... 493] and has absolutely no plot. I'm on page 302. so far the only semblance of a plot I've found is that someone might be dying. oh, and the mother is on a quest to play favorites with the son.
the jungle: I haven't started this but from what I hear it's... great.
the derp gatsby: kate beaton does this a lot better than I ever could. read the description. it explains everything.
the "adventures" of huckleberry finn: not even reading it. winging the test. I do this to one book every year. [if this seems bad, trust me, last year I didn't read any of them. I got an 80, I think. it was the catcher in the rye and jane eyre - how hard is it to bs those?]
I feel this post demonstrates wonderfully how lazy and sarcastic I can be. I'm gonna go read a screwed-up book now.

The urge to smile when your getting introuble.
please excuse the horrid spelling and grammar on that title. I did not write it. I shall explain.
since I've been so, ahem, doting on ava for the past few posts I thought it would be nice if I gave mary a chance to show off how contradictory and wtf-worthy she can be.
mary's hobby seems to be going on facebook and liking every single page that appears in her news feed. some of them are highly passive-aggressive towards shane, too, which are very funny, and some of them describe things she doesn't even do.
you'll see. I just went to her facebook page and holy god literally the whole thing is likes.
the farther you go back, the more links are broken. I've chosen some classy selections from the past week or so. I'll link to whatever I can, but I can't make any promises.
yelling RAPE when your friend attacks you
mary never once have I seen you do that.
Some days i really like you, some days i wanna push you in front of a bus.
this was definitely for shane
You're such a boring texter that I can predict what you're going to say next.
...I can't even
If two people are happy together, then leave them to it. It's THEIR lives.
oh. my. god.
If I had sex as often as I got screwed I'd be very happy! :D
I think I'm running out of wittiness.
B e s t f r i e n d s has 11 letters and so do b a c k s t a b b e r so which u gonna be?
I just love this one. count the grammar mistakes and all-around failures.
Facebook needs a "fuck you" button
like you'd ever press it?
I want an honest relationship. No secrets. No lies. No cheating. :)
this must be for shane too
Some days I really like you ♥ some days I wanna push you in front of a bus.
wait, wait, didn't I juuuust see this somewhere? oh right.
"are you mad," "no," "ok ur deffinatly mad"
know who needs this one? ava.
Every women deserves a man who looks at her every day like it's the first time he saw her
every women
if you like her, JUST TELL HER
shanetastic. mary, you are so passive-aggressive. wait, is everyone at this table a champion passive-aggressive insulter? well, shit, there's my problem!
Im a girl but I rather hang out with boys because it is less drama!!!!
is that why you're going to an all-girls school
i saw you, i wanted you, i liked you, i got you, i have you, i love you.
stop kidding yourself, mary.
i trusted you, my fault
it just occurred to me how strange it is that she never expresses any kind of strong feeling of resentment outside of all these pages.
Only for YOU, would I drop everything to answer a text.
say it with me everyone... shane
I'll marry you someday. I guarantee it :)
when I figure out who this is about.. oh right, I already know
YES my status was about you, and YES you were ment 2 see it..
this would be great if she posted statuses beyond things like "Is watching the runaways!!!! :D"
I hate it when i wanna listen to music but i cant find a song to satisfy my need
that would be because you listen to lady gaga and not too much else
press like....... if your bored right now :/
hey I have a song for this! NEW... TOWN!
Wait..WHAT! you liked me? : Why didn't you tell me.. i liked you to!
jesus I'm getting tired of the shane ones
When I Miss you, I re-read our old conversations and smile. :')
the sad thing is she admits she does this. she has told us all that she does. drama is fun.
sometimes love means letting go when you want to hold on tighter...
YOU'RE SIXTEEN YEARS OLD oh my GOD
I helped you through the hardest times, and now i'm nothing to you?
I'm not even going to bother.
finally, she liked these two within a couple days or so. they are fantastic. sadly, both the links are broken, but trust me that I could NOT make this kind of shit up.
l i k e t h i s i f y o u r s i n q l e . :)
"q'' is NOT the same thing as "g"
are you effin' kidding me?

it all seems so STUPID
it makes me want to give up
but why should I give up when it all seems so stupid?
a few hours ago, I was sitting in the backseat of a car being driven by a straightedge punk with a social distortion hat and a neckbeard; in the passenger seat was his blue-haired madonna-loving goth girlfriend. that would be the family friends' duaghter and her boyfriend. interesting day indeed. we were all singing along to placebo's cover of "20th century boy", speeding down the highway. this is definitely the moment against which I will measure all other weird moments in the future.
anyway.
ava has heard everything counts again. her new thoughts on it:
I could turn this into "I'm a bitch for not being happy she likes one of my favorite songs" or I could turn this into, well... I don't know. I want to apologize to the spirit of depeche mode, somehow. I feel like the best way to do this is giving 101 lots and lots of love.
two more years. two more years. two. more. years.
this is a rare moment in which I am indirectly involved in something more than observing it. and I am fucking mad. really, really mad. I hate watching things not be appreciated, just... seen as something to go alongside lady gaga. I take music seriously because I haven't got much else to throw myself into. I hope you've enjoyed this rare display of emotion other than apathy or, as c says, sardonic amusement. I hope both for my sake and yours and for this blog's that it doesn't happen again for a good long time. if anyone can figure out what the new tag I just started stands for, you are either a genius or a stalker. congratulations!

i listened to depeche mode more
i actually like it better now
i was actually craving to listen to it more
it's like something you described it once
i didn't like it at first, but then i listened again and now i like it better

bigmouth strikes again
well. ava has heard "everything counts". fantastic. her words on it:
there you have it. it's different. a short list of things she has said are "different": sleater-kinney, social distortion, silverchair. [sorry about all the ss. they were the best examples I could think of.] so basically when the singer's voice isn't PERFECT by her standards it goes into the "different" category and is shunned and shamed in the future. and by her standards, perfect means sweet and/or auto-tuned [for a girl] or HGRRRRR-y like nirvana [for a guy]. I don't know why we even fucking try anymore.
okay. I just needed to rant there. one of my family friends once told me "mode people are very serious about their mode". she is correct. [though, unlike others, I do think calling them day-pesh commode is pretty funny.] I actually have to call said family friend soon so I'll make this next bit as short as possible.
at my job today someone bought three bags of leafy green shit and ten entire frozen chickens. when he got to the end of the register he looked at me and said "don't ask". right, um, wasn't planning on it.
that god-awful "fireflies" song came on today and I could perfectly hear it. I would have been really mad at my misfortune had a lady not told me about ten seconds later that the toilet paper I was holding could "get laid right there". then I had to try not to laugh. people are great.
it's different
i can understand why you guys think it's mind-blowing
but it doesn't go under my "OMFG!!! HEADKILLING SPAZZ!!!" category
