I took senior pictures in August, and I got them back on September 5. I did not like very many of them. It took me weeks before I went to the portrait studio to tell them I didn't like the pictures. They scheduled me for another appointment in early October. I liked many more pictures from the second batch. When I finally went to buy a picture package, I ended up getting the biggest one. I got the pictures back a week or two ago, and I love them. Maybe this is conceded, but I have pictures of myself all over my room now. If any of you guys want any, I have a few wallets to spare. :)

I saw Hollywoodland back in September, and I did not like it very much. It was kind of slow to me. I wanted to see The Black Dahlia a lot, but I never got around to it. I'll wait until it comes out in another form. I did see Jackass 2, which was hilarious (so I saw it twice). I laughed out loud through the entire movie, both times. Laughing (out loud) at a movie is something I rarely do, so to do it the entire time is a big thing for me. I saw Marie Antoinette also, and I loved it. I don't know if I like the new one or the old one better. I think I like them the same. I saw Borat twice: I was looking forward to it sooooo much, and I loved it. I also saw Accepted with Amanda and my other friend Erica, and it was hilarious as well. I wish I would have seen Bobby, but I never did. Oh, and THE GOOD SHEPHERD is coming out this Friday, which I hope to see at least three times. :D :D :D

I went to a College Fair at Eastfield Community College on Septermber 13, and I didn't think anything of it. Since then I have been accepted to both universities to which I have applied: Texas Woman's University and Texas A&M University at Commerce. I even went to an open house for TWU with my friend Lisa, which was cool. I have been kind of looking forward to going to TWU with my friend Lisa and rooming with her, but she is backing out on me, so I don't know what to do. I hate college anxiety. I just feel like I want to drop ut forever.

I took the SAT and ACT in October. On the SAT I got: Critical Reading=600, Math=540, Writing=580. Last May I took the SAT and got Critical Reading=610, Math=560, Writing=560. So basically this time my scores went down. Poo. For the ACT, I took it the first time ever and got a 27.

So far I have applied to seven scholarships: Coca Cola, Horatio Alger, TWU's, Mensa, Sam Walton Community, Metro PCS, and Ronald McDonald. I am kind of working on three more.

My friend Amanda has her birthday party on September 16 at a place near here called Celebration Station. It was really fun, only like 5 or 6 people were there, and we did a lot of cool things (like paintball, go-cart racing, little motor boat things, and played arcade games). My friend Jury was even permanently bruised by Amanda. And it turns out I have a good shooting aim or something. I got Amanda the movies From Hell and Chocolat for her birthday. Find the missing link to those and you'll know who she loves.

Finally my friend Webba came back home (to Virginia) from Alaska on September 26. I missed talking to him for a long time! He was always my only buddy who would be up late (at like 4 in the AM). We have the coolest convos. He's a great friend.

My relatives came over for the Thanksgiving week and we had fun. (They are not even remotely my age, but I guess it was still fun.) On the day after Thanksgiving, I went to a 5AM sale at CompUSA and got a 10GB Canon digital camera. I love it.

Two more of my friends had birthdays in October, Jessica and Candace. For Jessica I got her the movie Moulin Rouge (because she loves musicals), and for Candace I got the movie The Village (because she likes the movie). My friend Travis had a small birthday party at his home which was fun. I introduced this guy I met (but once kind of knew) to my friend Amanda (through the phone) and I think they're becoming pretty friendly. For Travis, I gave him like $10 for his birthday, because it's so hard to shop for guys! (I think so anyway.) My friend Lisa didn't have a birthday party, but I got her the movie Monster and an I Love Lucy calendar for her birthday. Jeez, you would think that with all this spending I would have a job or something... and I've never had a job!

Friday, December 15, I applied for some jobs for the first time in my life. I was so nervous, I brought my friend Amanda. (I forced her.) There are various parts of town around where I live (Balch Springs, Mesquite, Dallas, and Seagoville/Kaufman). I went to the Seagoville/Kaufman area that Friday to apply, and this is what I accomplished:

( Six Curly Photos!Collapse )

I never want to go back to school! Don't make me!! I don't know whether to be sad or happy that it is my last year.

PS: I am currently in love with the book 1984, which I finished reading yesterday night.

Ripley's and Louis Tussaud's...part 2!

( Seventy-Three Pictures!Collapse )

PS: Last night I saw a movie, called See No Evil, Hear No Evil. It was a funny Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor movie.

Oh and briefly, on Friday night, I owned a small lizard. His name was briefly Simon. He was briefly a he. Lol, I have no idea what gender "he" was.

Also, on Friday, I will most likely be going to Grapevine Mills, a huge mall that is 50 minutes away from here. I'll probably be going with Amanda (and hopefully Lisa). I hope to have fun! This mall has many stores that my normal mall doesn't have.

Those Stores: (Books-A-Million, Bible Factory Outlet, an ESPN skatepark, Aeropostale, All That Glitters, Candy World, The Bag Lady, Perfumania, Fragrance Depot, Haagen Dazs, Great American Cookies, The Hat Club, Sanrio, Piercing Pagoda, Sunglass Hut, and Wolfe Camera.)

I'm looking forward mostly to Aeropostale and Sanrio. :)

On Friday, I went to Ripley's Believe it or Not / Louis Tussaud's Palace of Wax. I have a lot of pictures from then. Way too many for one post. Here are the first few:

This is all for now. I'll have more soon.

Here is how my week has been, starting from an unknown date right up until this afternoon. Included are random things and even pictures.

A WHILE AGO
Amanda told me that Kevin Sorbo was in town a few weeks ago. He was filming a movie, which I can only assume was Walking Tall 2. The movie must suck because this town is very small. We are a country-type suburb of Dallas. The budget must be low.


WEDNESDAY
Joe and I have played ZSNES games only once this week. It has been a busy week for me.

I saw the movie Sabrina on Wednesday. I had previously seen the newer one, so I knew the story line. This was the first Audrey Hepburn movie I'd seen. I always knew she was beautiful, but wow. I liked the movie but had to miss some near the end to shower. I did catch the end though. :) I went to church after that.

I got a tripod on Wednesday from Wal-mart after church. It wasn't until Saturday that I knew the thing could become 5 feet tall. I am excited, it was only fifteen dollars and it was a great deal. While at Wal-mart, I found a gift that I could buy Joe. From what I know, he has wanted this gift for a long time. I want to buy it soon.


THURSDAY
I got my AP scores. In May I took an English test and a US History test. I made a 3/5 on both of them, so I passed them both. Next year I want to take seven AP tests: Art History, Biology, Macroeconomics, US Government, Psychology, World History, and English Literature. For three of these tests I will not have a class next year (Art History, World History, and Psychology). I have had World History and Psychology classes, but I have never had an actual Art History class. I hope to study or something next year.


FRIDAY
I bought some clothes from the internet on Friday, all either shirts for Joe or me. I bought a green shirt from lane bryant, a black shirt from tshirt hell, and a navy shirt for Joe from threadless. I also have two uniform school shirts on back-order from lane bryant.

On Friday, Joe applied to his local Wal-mart but never got called back for the job. He could still be called within two months for other Wal-mart jobs. He was applying for the late night shift.

My second cousin, whom I've never met, committed suicide on Tuesday, July 4. I was told on Friday. It is hard for my to have any sympathy at all, because I never met him or any of his close relatives.


SATURDAY
On Saturday, Lisa, Amanda, and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I liked it, but I liked the first one better. After the movie we went to Wendy's and then played at a park until it was a little after dark. I got sore very easily on account of my being out of shape. I also got stuck in a tube thing, which was just pathetic. Some creepy guy with long hair dressed in all black walked up to the park and asked us if we were too old to be playing around. It was really weird. Lisa was scared and wanted to go, but Amanda wanted to stay and talk to him. I wanted to go because I was sore, so I broke the tie and we left. I wouldn't have minded talking to him.

I accidentally stabbed my right big toe with an exacto knife type thing that was on the floor. I don't even remember which day it was. I think Saturday. It is basically healed now though, no worries.


SUNDAY
On Sunday night I went to spend the night at Lisa's house. I saw three movies at Lisa's house. I had already seen it, but we watched most of Shaun of the Dead. I realized it has a lot of curse words in it. After that we watched a movie I brought over, Playing By Heart. I like that movie a lot (for obvious reasons and for not-so-obvious reasons). We didn't sleep at all that night or the next day. The next morning, after her mom and brother left, we watched The 40 Year Old Virgin. Man, that's a crazy movie. I really like it. I could never imagine seeing it with an adult. Amanda saw it with her mom.


MONDAY
On Monday, when Lisa's sister got there (to pick us up), we went to Hurricane Harbor. In total, I rode three rides and swam all day. I rode the Black Hole first. I rode the Sea Wolf second. I found out the Raging Rapids really are crap. I flipped over on this dumb thing four times. For the majority of the day, we were on the Lazy River. Man I was so sore the next day (Tuesday)!


TUESDAY
Tuesday morning I saw a movie called A Map of the World. It was a very very good movie and I recommend it to everyone.

Tuesday evening, I went to dinner with my dad's dad Tom and my dad's sister Julie from London (grandfather and aunt). We had dinner at Franki's Lil Europe. I had the raspberry chicken with wild rice and vegetables. The meal was very good, but I was so nervous that I did not finish.


WEDNESDAY
This morning (Wednesday morning), my dad's dad came over to discuss my further education (college). There was a large exchange of money.

This afternoon I saw Madagascar based on a recommendation from Lisa. I loved it. First of all, Sacha Baron Cohen was in it, who is hilarious! I love him in Da Ali G Show. In Madagascar, I loved it when they made fun of Cast Away and American Beauty, which are both great adult movies. To parody these in a child's movie is hilarious. They also used the National Geographic theme, which was great. Two smaller parts I liked were the literal "stricken from the record" scene and the using of the line "darn you all to heck!"


RANDOM DAYS
I have learned that strychnine poisoning is interesting and kind of scary.

I may go to Mexico, but it is a big maybe. I am probably not going because I have not saved up. I would have to fly round trip. It costs roughly $400.

A trip to Rome from Dallas/Fort Worth costs $1205. Just random. I am never going to Rome, lol.

I am excited about this new murderer show on the discovery channel. It is called Most Evil.

I have joined a livejournal music community, and I have exactly ten new songs this week.
(01) Foo Fighters - Best of You
(02) Wretched Hearts - Blind Fury
(03) Michael Jackson - Thriller
(04) Panic at the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies
(05) David Bowie - Space Oddity
(06) Blue October - Hate Me
(07) Fort Minor - Where'd You Go
(08) The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go
(09) Queen - We Will Rock You
(10) Billy Idol - Mony Mony

Also, I have three new and cool websites:
