This livejournal account is getting old.
So, I made a new one. And yes. I named it after Julius Caesar.

ADD IT.

I won't be updating this one much anymore.

& I apologize in advance for the ugliness of my layout on the new one.
I'm having a new one made as we speak.

MY CAR IS FIXED AND
READY FOR DRIVING.

However, I can't drive it yet.

BECAUSE
- I can't drive a stick. yet.
- MY BIRTHDAY IS FIFTEEN DAYS AWAY AND I STILL CAN'T DRIVE WITHOUT A REGISTERED DRIVER OVER 21 IN THE CAR WITH ME UNTIL THEN.

I am so excited.

I have absolutely no motivation to do anything right now.

WASL starts tomorrow.
DEATH TO STANDARDIZED TESTING.

Fifteen days until my birthday.
Even though Tep advised me not to countdown.

My mother said she would buy me more tea at Safeway.
Because I have run out.

I have my job shadow on Thursday.
& I'm actually pretty excited.

My mom bought a coconut scented candle and it is the best smelling thing I have ever come across in my whole life.

I need my birthday to come.

RIGHT NOW.

Myspace is being a whore and it won't let me on.

If someone saves me from Biology today, I will give them five dollars and half a candy bar.

I just got back from Seattle yesterday afternoon from the Journalism Nationals convention.
It was extremely fun, actually.

It kind of sucked that it was in seattle though.
Everyone says: 'Where are you from? I'm from Boston!'
and we had to say: 'Uhh. I'm from Puyallup. It's about 45 minutes away from here.'

We got to go to sessions and drink a large amount of Starbucks.
Kristin and I spend an hour in a class all about headline fonts. No joke.
But we enjoyed it.

It was hilarious and a little sad to be surrounded by 4,000 other journalism nerds and in our whole four days of being there, we saw one cute boy.

We had a dance on Saturday. Kristin and I made about a half an hour appearance before leaving.
Mostly we went to show off our new shirts from Urban Outfitters. ♥

We almost got killed/picked up by a pimp.

We didn't always stop when the light said 'don't walk'.
Then I almost died when we went to the old spaghetti factory because I wasn't paying attention. Whoops.

A lot more stuff happened, but I have to go and get ready for school. Ugh. I'm tired.

Pictures later.

We went to Ikea today and bought all new furniture.

We got a new:
Couch
Chair
Ottoman
Set of Glasses
Silverware
Lamp
Throw Pillows.

Because our old furniture was UGLY.

I helped pick out the new couch.
My aunt & I somehow convinced my mom to buy a purple couch.
[It is not purple, it is eggplant.]
It's gorgeous and I love it.

I've never loved a couch before.

2005-04-01T03:03:26Z

Jenna got her driver's licese yesterday. & since the stupid Puyallup School District is lame, we don't have a bus to get us to school because we're "close enough to walk" [HELLO. WE LIVE IN WASHINGTON. IT'S RAINING. LIKE ALWAYS.] We were really sick of always relying on our parents to get us there and back. So. Now we can drive.

Then we decided to go to the mall. [I bought jeans and a tank top.]

On the way there, we somehow got on the subject of what 'Crunk' meant. I don't know how. But we both realized that we knew what it was, sort of, but didn't know how to explain.
So I looked online and found the definition.

Crunk: To get/be hype. To act with excitement and enthuiasm.
USAGE: We gonna get crunk tonight!

But the it said that "getting crunk" meant you were drunk and high and stuff.

Then I realized that we are way to white to even think of using the word 'crunk' in our everyday conversations.

It sucks for you if you are not on my friends list.

Because you just missed the 'friends only' entry of your life.

2005-03-18T20:32:15Z

I spent most of yesterday coughing up my vital organs.

So, I stayed home from school today.

Then I realized this this the first day of school I've missed this year.
DORK.
Which means today was probably the day that something unforgetable and exciting happened.

Even though I was sick last night, I still went to the play.
Forgot my camera, naturally.

It was fantastic.
I had no idea everyone was so talented.

♥

2005-03-16T23:28:54Z

I'm sick.
I have the flu.

But I feel much better.

I went to Rite Aid with my mom and she bought me $27 worth of medicine.

Tomorrow is St. Patricks Day.
And we're going to the play at school.
We'll probably take pictures, so, be ready for that.

It rained a lot today.
It soaked through my shoes and my jeans were wet up to my mid-calf.

I'm caught up with all of my homework and extra credit, and I actually get my german grammer and I feel so awesome right now.
Major change from last update, I know.

I finished the ENTIRE crossword puzzle in People magazine by myself.

Be proud of me.

Yesterday started out extrememly well.

My sister was spending the night at a friends house, so it was just me, my stepdad and my mom.

We went to lunch.
It was really good.

We went to the bookstore.
I got a new book of Oscar Wilde poems, and a new copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray [also by Oscar] because my old copy is lost.

We were at Costco, buying a water filter, and my mother said something to me that really hurt my feelings.
She didn't say it to be mean, of course.
But it hurt all the same.

And it hurt ten times worse because I know it's true.

I really hate myself right now.

Today was the worst day of my life.

I keep forgetting that I am often overdramatic.
How can my day be the worst day of my life when so many people are so much worse off?

Anyway.
You know what I mean.

It started out this morning.
I was so stressed out.

I feel like I have so much to do, and no time to do it in.
I am feeling like everything is moving at such a fast pace, and I can't catch up and I have no time to breath.
I always have something that I need to be doing.

Then I felt bad, because it felt like everybody was pissed at me because they thought I was just playing some 'woe is me, my life is so emo' card for attention.
And I think they thought I was being selfish.
...But I wasn't trying to be.

Whit cheered me up by bringing me McDonalds at lunch.
She was staying home today.

Then while I was taking a German test in fifth period, my cell phone rang.
Frau then proceeded to yell at me and then my phone beeped again a minute later because it got a new voicemail.
Lets just say I was mortified.
And scared to be in trouble.
I was shaking.

I was on the verge of tears all day and I'm glad all my friends are so awesome and they cheer me up.

Don't worry. I'll be better by tomorrow.

And also, I want a new LJ.
So think of new usernames for me.
and someone make me a layout.
teal and brown, how about?

return

2005-03-08T04:59:16Z

I'm sorry I died.

We moved this last week or so, and we had to pack the computer up so that our house didn't look so "cluttered".
Which meant no computer for Leah for more than a week.
and retarded school computers are slow and everywhere worth going to is blocked.

omg.

But now I'm back.
With unlimited internet access.

Our new house is "so close to school" [try a mile and a half in the mud] that I don't have a bus to ride.
and no licese until May.
So Jenna and I are carpool buddies. :]

I still have homework to do.
I have to find some song lyrics for english.
We're doing poetry.
I'm thinking Death Cab For Cutie 'we looked like giants'.
That's me and Tep's song. haha.

Anyways.
Goodnight.

i went to dinner with my family.

i bought some concealer at target.

and then i realized how extremely interesting i am.

Today was Whitney Kay Egbert's birthday.

I made her a cake.

So did Sam.

Sam's had green frosting that looked remarkably similar to cucumber melon hand lotion.

Whitney had some lotion on her hand.

Thinking it was frosting, she licked it.

'ugh! sick! i thought it was frosting!'

I like having first lunch now.

I love my friends.

2005-02-02T22:14:02Z

Half days are pointless.

We came to school [well. some of us did.] and we went to each class for twenty seven minutes each.

After sixth period, we had a nine minute 'lunch'.

And then I got home at 10:55.

I got some water and watched Jerry Springer.

Can you say productivity?

Today was fantastic.

This week was the best I've had in a long time.

I love my friends.
I love everyone.
Especially him.

Exciting news.

My mother decided that we should do something special for my birthday this year.
I agreed.

We thought that going on a short vacation would be fun, just the two of us.
She let me choose to where.
We bought the plane tickets today. I got the window seat.

So, guess where I'll be May 5th through the 10th?

That's right bitches.

In New York City.

Camille wrote me a long note today.
We continued reading 'the iliad' in english.
We watched movie clips from 'Troy'.
That movie is in no way authentic.
I forgot to turn in my math homework in third period because Jenna was not there to remind me.
Newspaper distribution was today.
I have ink all over my hands. still.
Pre-college planning night is this evening. and I'm going.
My mother took me to dairy queen and bought me ice cream.
I fell in love again.
and Samantha is not coming to school Friday. So it looks like I'll be eating alone. Since NO ONE has third lunch.

don't drink the water, don't breathe the air

Hi. Excuse me.

What the hell is wrong with me?

EDIT: undo

2005-01-19T04:01:29Z

whoa guys.
seriously.
long time no update.

christ.
i've been so busy these last couple of weeks.

i've been working on all my end of semester crap.
and newspaper and stuff.
holy crap.

hey.
all of my sadistic friends out there.
here's a 'funny' story for you.

i was at school today finishing up some stuff for newspaper and helping lay out the pages and stuff.
and i worked for two hours on this one story.
and when i finished, it was perfect.

and i had to change the font and the size so that it could be copied onto the layout.
and i highlighted it all. and i accidently hit the delete button.
and it would not 'edit: undo'.
i almost cried.
so i had to do it all over again.
and it sucks much ass.

stupid technology.
thank you, mac computers.

Fourth period is a waste of my time.

We spent four days in the library doing research for our projects.
I was done with the research on the first day.
It wasn't that hard.

I spend the rest of my days sitting in the library at google.com looking at what had been searched on it by kids from our school.
These seemed to be searched most often:
hot girls
hott girls
sex
porn
pokemon sex
civil war
halo 2 cheat codes

Now you can see what Roger's High School student's priorities really are.

Who wants to go to the mall with me to buy new jeans sometime this weekend?

We play dance dance revolution.

My sister's feet.

Jon's feet.

In my living room.

My knee.
My book for english. ['the alchemist']
My water.
My stepdad.
My kitchen.
The brother.

BOWLING!

Nice balls.

Whit's bowling shoes are HOT.

Whitney is actually smiling normal, and Jon looks retarded. :]

Ignore the fact that I look fat. Thank you.

Whit. In the car, on the way home.

We got back home, and decided to try our speed-jump roping skills.

We took this blurry picture.
We have our signature fake picture-with-each-other smiles. Like always.

THEN, AFTER WHIT WENT HOME THE NEXT DAY...

Jon and my stepdad played video games...

I did Jon's hair...

...then he took this picture of me when I wasn't looking.

...THEN my camera died.
So.
There you go.

[EDIT: sorry the pictures are huge.]
