09/06/2003 Entry: "Standard Back-to-School"

Mood |
Well, here is my standard "This is how school was, these are my nazi teachers" entry. I had a short one, but that was just practice. I see Christina and Andrew have already written very entertaining ones, and now that I have time and energy, here is mine. Just don't expect the entertaining part (I expect you to all drop dead by the end of this).
First period is Ms. Grogan [Honors English 11], and though Andrew compared her to a dictator (I would agree, to an extent), I think I'll really enjoy this class. A lot of my friends are in it, and we had some fun making fun of Stacy when she tried to FORGE HER MOTHER'S SIGNATURE. Okay, not really, but Stacy forgot to get her guidelines because she had written her mother's name down (she thought it wanted a name, not a signature), so Grogan announced to the class, "Everyone, peer pressure works! Everyone stare at Stacy!" and we all Stared at Stacy, who of course broke down into tears sobbing hysterically.
[she might've been laughing, but the world will never know]
I read one of Spencer's comments on a blog somewhere and it said something about a character in The Maltese Falcon being described as a blonde Satan. I told this to my sister (just as generally, mind you - I have a terrible memory) and she had a difficult time believing me.
Pop trivia: Lucifer's name before he fell from the heavens was apparently Lucifel, not that this is the type of thing that turns up in Trivial Pursuit.
At any rate, I'm actually looking very forward to Grogan (this is a cue to scream, "NERD!" and throw wadded up pieces of notebook paper at me) because of my last English teacher, whom we all know very well by now. Grogan earned my eternal affection when she asked our class if we had read "Old Man and the Dead Fish" last year - She Who Shall Not Be Named revered that book and made us endure her reverence of it for three months. Bleck.
I saw said teacher, btw, in the counseling office, and a chill passed through me. Alice and I instinctively cringed and hid behind a very skinny plant. Thankfully, she bypassed us >.>;
Second period I have Pauer for Calculus AB AP [what a terrible class title], and there's nothing really much to say about this class. It's math. Math sucks. I hate math. Math hates me. And that is a cycle that's never really changed, either. Pluses about this class: Pauer is very nice and I get to harass Earl (marry me, my love!). Minuses: there's this little sophomore Korean boy I used to go to Korean school with, and he and another sophomore I know are in the class with me. Said Korean boy likes to, in lieu of saying "hello", tap me on the shoulder and do some head bobbing thing so I that I acknowledge his presence. I guess if I really made him, he's Korean enough that I could make him call me Nuna [older sister], but what would be the point? [Plus, there's something that really bites about having underclassmen in your math class..]
Third period is Computer Science A AP. Uh, we have a lot more work than we did in C++ programming. Weiser is the same. Nothing else I can think of, though I have a crapload of homework to do for her.
Fourth period: this bites. Don't want to talk about it until I'm out of it (it could jinx something). But, Christina is in there, along with some other people I haven't had in a class for ages and ages. [Though Christina is part of the second category, I felt she deserved one of her own. That effervescent presence again.]
[lunch] Wow, our lunch group has been poisoned again. That girl (you know who) needs to go away >.>;
Fifth period: Spanish III with Mills. It's a fairly ordinary class, can't really think of anything to say about it. Lorik is in there. *waves*
Sixth: Thomson for AP US History. I didn't like my ID group (buncha slackers), so when Kristyn needed an ID group (she had been absent), I ditched mine without remorse and joined her. Justin and some guy name Narek needed a group, too, so they joined. Looks like all but two groups in our class have four people :O lots of ID's to do (for the uninitiated, it's a description of an event/topic and its significance to U.S. History). I need to call them and see who's going to print this junk out..
Wrote a review on some Nora Roberts books at amazon, and one particularly scathing review recieved a "2 out of 5 people found this review useful". AHAHAHA, that's pretty bad :P well, at least I know someone read it and decided not to buy the book or something (it really was pretty damn bad - not even good trash! the horror).
Listening to the first ending song of Hikaru no Go. It's pretty good, but Sanosuke's voice actor from Rurouni Kenshin still has the best singing voice [oh my gaawd o.O].
Quote from a romance novel I was reading:
[Business] Traveling used to appeal to me more.. Before I had a wife who invited me to nail her on the kitchen floor.
I love Roarke. He's so cuddly. ::huggles Roarke:: Anyway, now I'm going to go do some work. I have English, Comp Sci, and History homework, due at varying times during the next week, but I know they'll all assign more >.<; Man, I just want my romance novel ;_; it comes out in a week and a day.. *sobs*
*Linked Spencer's new blog, Lorik's new blog, Sarah, Christina, and Andrew's new blog* whee.
Spoken words: 9 have fallen.
Hahaha! Only Grogan. That's the best.
Spencer posted that Maltese Falcon quote on my weblog on Thursday. You can prove its existence to your sister in the comments here.
Damn right I'm effervescent, wench. I turn the friggin' world on with my smile!
Whoa! Nice quote you got there. Who is this Roarke you speak of?

Christina, a chill went up my spine when I read "i just wanna be a pretty pop princess". Eep.

Sorry, Janice. You know my true aspiration is to be a successful, desirable, eccentric spinster. And no, that is not a contradiction in terms. I can't hear you...

You know, I don't really think any of us is in a position to call each other a nerd, but you're a fucking nerd.
Not really, I just like that line.

Are you a fucking horse, then? :PPP
And yeah, Christina, you got $20 back. Roarke is the dead sexy romance hero from the books I was carrying around in Biology on Friday (whee). [Forgot to comment on your comment.]
And Christina: I don't think it's your smile that the world is looking at to turn them on. ~_~
Posted by Janice @ 09/06/2003 10:48 PM PST
Yes Andrew, this idea rocks. Just look how much fun we're (okay, I'm) having with it at Spencer's Greymatter-powered 'blog. If I weren't such an HTML moron I might use it myself.
Yay, romance novels...
I don't get the horse comment, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Much.
Posted by Christina @ 09/06/2003 11:13 PM PST
Oops. "but you're a fucking nerd." should have been in italics. Now it's not funny. Damn it.
Yeah, it started with me putting yourethemannodog.com for my homepage, and Janice and Earl mentioned something about it so then I knew they looked at it. It went on from there.
Grey Matter = Teh esay.
