Abbrevs

I'm totes loving that everyone can talk in abbrevs and its socially acceptable.

Well "socially acceptable" is kind of a loose term. When I said "obvi" at camp, I was told to never speak or breathe again. I guess "Acceptable in the company of fellow abbrev speakers, or when being ironic" is a better term.

Newspaper is proving to be so much more work than I thought, and we haven't even started our first offish issue yet. But it's good that we're practicing, because my first drafts read exactly like this blog. AKA completely impossible to follow, lacking in a point, and "leaves the reader with something to be desired." We made our press passes today though, i feel so legit.

So other than that, I'm pretty much enjoying school. I can already tell that English is going to require tons of work, but I knew that from the seniors last year. Every single senior I knew warned me not to take AP English 4. But I'll handle it, whatever. And APES would be boring but Allison is in it, so it's good. We haven't had a class since middle school.

Actually we have. But even though we've acknowledged that we had multimedia together freshmen year, and English together sophomore year, we're still acting like it's the hugest deal in the world.

Speaking of Allison, the homecoming drama has begun. Maybe I can steer clear of it this year. Well I pretty much did last year, but I'm hoping to steer so far clear that people forget I even go to West. That would be nice.

Time to return to college applications! WOW they suck.

What is the last compliment you remember receiving?

Actually, last night via facebook chat, Josh Goldberg told me I am "one of the funniest people he knows". Coming from someone with 1,811 facebook friends, that means a lot.
But at the same time, being funny is such a weird thing to be. Like, who defined "funny"? Because even though Kimberly and Allie and I find eachother really, really funny, most people think we're weird. And sometimes I watch comedians and just wonder what they're like in real person- do they just pick something and say something funny? Or are they just like, really quiet?

Oh, Michael is summoning me now so I can take him for ice cream. Anything for Michael. Anything to get him off of World Of Warcraft.

Send suggestions.

First Day of School

And don't even worry about it- I'm still completely alive.

The first day back is always so weirdly formal. Everyone is all dressed up (not yet participating in sweat pant Wednesday, or no makeup Monday), and all the classes are silent. But it's not even a respectful silent- more like a scared shitless silent, or asleep silent.

I'm not even that upset about school starting. I need the structure in my life. Thank god I was working so much this summer, or I really might have just gone insane. The summer was fun, even though Allie/Stephanie/And I totally failed at that list. We did somethings- like see the Hannah Montana movie and Harry Potter movie at midnight, and took road trips, albeit not with each other. It was a fun summer. I'm just glad to be back at school now, even though my tan is TOTALLY going to suffer for my education.

Zoe, I hope you're reading this during your ten hour off period at school.

So the nagging call of my college applications, combined with the fact that I work at 4:45 AM tomorrow before school, is forcing me off of the computer.

Dear Zoe and Alex,

Thank you for the wonderful homecoming "surprise". Even though I saw your cars while driving down my street, and even though I saw you disappear into them and speed away, and even though you made me sit in my room and wait while you decorated Rex, it was still COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED.

I still have the mustache on his hood, and have gotten mostly positive comments. By mostly I mean 100% positive.

I thoroughly enjoyed half watching Gossip Girl, half sleeping, half participating in "the roundtable conversation" around my rectangular coffee table, and half texting from Zoe's phone, and half eating the cookies you brought me (NOT).

I have once again changed my password. This one is so, so, so good. You'll never guess it. It has nothing to do with a beverage or fruit, or the top half of my keyboard, or my school mascot. I doubt even Allison could guess it.

You will both guess it so fast, I'm predicting. FML.

I just took my final exam for Foundations, but when I pressed submit with a huge sigh of relief, i received this message.

double FML.

Thanks again. It was really, really, really nice of you.

Love,

I really, really did not want to go to camp this year. Kimberly and I complained all the drive there, and decided we would hate it before we even made our bunks.

I was wrong.

Once again, I underestimated just how much I love Camp Olympia. While at first I just signed up for O'Crew because thats what campers do when they turn 17, I am so glad I went. The work sucked at first. We moved water coolers every morning, inspected all the cabins, worked on the golf course, cleaned boats (actually cleaning, not "washing boats", for anyone who believed that lie for forever like I did), set up for nightly activities, and just did general maintenance on the camp. But day by day, as I got back into the Camp O spirit, I realized that O'Crew, for me, was more than just a prerequisite to being a junior counselor.

It was an apology. I'm completely aware of what a bad camper I was. I was disobediant, rude, and basically thought I owned the place- and they just put up with me. I owed camp such a big apology for how terrible i was, and a huge thank you for how fantastic it was in return. Camp Olympia is one of those places where it doesnt matter what you're doing, you still love it. So here's to the best camp everrr.

So thats that. I've been gone a while, even before I left. I'm finishing up e-school right now, which is so boring. But it would be fantastic if my mom would leave me alone about it, so I'm perservering through the terribleness.

I have so much Wadel to take care of right now. Two weeks away from my computer and everything hits the wall.

Kaybye. Sorry this is such a summary of my life.
