"Did she just ask you if I was your girlfriend?"

I didn't do much Saturday except go to the North Canyon High School production of Once Upon a Mattress.
It was cute. A lot of my friends were in it. Andrew, naturally, was late because of Ben... Ben however, did not come with us.

Umm..
At intermission Andrew and I made fun of Mr. Bush.. I mean, this guy is in love with himself. His paragraph was filled with information on his ‘Broadway’ career. Did you know he worked with Tony, Oscar, AND Emmy award winning actors? Yea, my ass he did. As an EXTRA maybe. Or perhaps he worked with Robert Downy Jr. on the side of L.A.’s free ways while in a chain gain? (after all, Mr. Bush IS a rebel, what with his motorcycle and everything.) Ya never know. Then it says he worked in N.Y., L.A., and other cities. By other cities he means San Francisco. The International Male Capital of the world. (Yea, no Andrew. I’m not using the line I said at the play… that was too mean.) Also, did anyone notice he used his professional headshot on the program? Creepy a little? I’m so surprised he didn’t cast himself in the play too. Thank the lord he didn’t. Although, I still would have gone just so I could have made fun of him.

The play was good… mostly because it gave me a lot to make fun of. I felt bad for all of my little sophomore friends who I knew could sing but didn’t get a part bigger than choir. Strangely enough, all the main parts went to Juniors and Seniors…. I don’t know if the sound quality was bad or the singers were, either way, their voices didn’t really compare.
The dad in front of us got the right idea though. Half way through the play he called his friend and had him put his phone up to the TV so he could hear whatever game was going on and kept his cell phone plastered to his ear throughout the second half. I wish I knew whose dad it was..

I actually did enjoy the play. Really, I did. Totally worth the 8 bucks. I just thought my friends should have gotten better parts. I’m not being biased or anything, I just know they sing really well.

Half way through the play Thomas joined us…
Yea, so that was interesting.

I went home, did some research for my Beowulf essay and then went out with my Mommy to rent a movie. We rented Kissing Jessica Stein. If you like Jewish Lesbian action in an R rated setting, I suggest it.
Or if you’re me and get bored if there isn’t a hot guy on the screen, don’t rent it.
Three minutes into the movie I got back online and there I Stayed until 4 AM talking to Amanda Caringi and downloading music. Then I read until 5 AM and went to bed.

I woke up at quarter to 2 PM and started working on my essay.
I finished both my chem WAC and my English essay by 5:30 PM. That’s like, way before midnight. That’s a really good thing… so yea, I’m happy.

And that was my weekend.

Quote of the weekend:
“Why don’t you just molest her?!”
-- Andrew after Thomas was playing grab ass with me at the play.

"Who knew an almanac could be so seducing?"

I'm still incredibly tired! What a surprise.. I know. Of course, I went to bed late last night, which means that I woke up late.. again. I've gotten up late pretty much every day this week. I am so happy its Friday.

Spanish was just a lot of note taking and ignoring Rick who always tries to talk to me. He just doesn't get it..

Chem with Rosie (and Daniel Thai)
A lot of our class was absent today. I was surprised Rosie didn't go NY Jew Ma on us again. I so thought she would. She was probably in a good mood today because it was Friday (and Shabot). Also, is it me, or is Daniel Thai just stupid? How many times does Rosie have to say we will not be working with ions, quarks, plasma, or Einstein’s theory of whatever for it to sink into Daniel Thai's extremely thick head? A class doesn't go by where he doesn't mention at least one of those things. Today was no exception, observe;

Rosie: "Next week we'll be working with matter but in its different states. You know, solid, liquid, gas."
Daniel Thai: "And plasma?"
Rosie: ::laughs that 'OMG this kid never stops' laugh:: No Daniel. We will not be studying plasma or Einstein's theory of something or another. (didn't quite catch it.) But you can read about it AT HOME."
Stefi: "And NOT talk about it IN CLASS."

Honestly.. but, yea, so I got bored today and decided that I wanted to know what a quark was. If you get excited easily by science, I suggest skipping over this bit.
To get more of a feel for the way Daniel Thai acts, grip your desk right now, sit up straight, put on your best 'listening' face, and start breathing really hard. Ok, here we go;
"Quarks are fundamental matter particles that are constituents of neutrons and protons and other hadrons. There are six different types of quarks (6! WOW!..) and each quark type is called a flavor (It'd be neat if it was flava instead.). Quarks only exist inside hadrons because they are confined by the strong, or color charge, force fields. Therefore, we cannot measure their mass by isolating them. (oh...) Furthermore, the mass of a hadron gets contributions from quark kinetic energy and from potential energy due to strong interactions. For hadrons made of the light quark types, the quark mass is a small contribution to the total hadron mass. (Jigga what?) For example, compare the mass of a proton (0.938 GeV/c2) to the sum of the masses of two up quarks and one down quark (total of 0.02 GeV/c2)................"
Yea.. What? Don't even ask me what a hadron is.... at first I thought it said hardon. Flavor and hardon. "Wow, physics is cool." I started to believe...Then I reread it. Hadron. Bummer. Anyway, I got to the number bits and the formulas and I was like OK, let's pack it up, Timmy. We're goin' home. Math is not my thang.
Anywho- That was my Daniel Thai moment of the day.

While looking for my quark site I found some kooky (That's a cool word) site called Einstein's Theory of Babe-ativity They also had some other thing called Macy Gray's Math-O-Matic but I didn't go to that because it had the word math in it..

Hey, has anyone noticed that when you try to talk to Daniel Thai in the hall way between classes he kinda ignores you? Everytime I say hi to him in the hall he says "No time". I dunno.. maybe its just me.. I thought I could just squeeze that in before we moved away from the topic of Daniel Thai. Yea, but uh... anyway-

Third hour we had a sub because Ms. Sandberg is sick. Everyone is sick right now..
Fourth hour I took a test with the Sturge. I think I did pretty well... it was on the Renaissance. Her tests are so difficult though..

Fifth hour I got kicked out of the library.. ah.. yea.
I totally blame Amanda though. If she hadn't been snorting then Curran never would have said a word...
So.. I'm really tired right? And Amanda has this book just lying on the table.. I'm also bored, so I pick it up and start reading in this seductive voice... And when you read in a seductive voice, everything sounds dirty. EVERYTHING. And when you're tired EVERYTHING is like 100 times funnier than it actually is... so seeing that the entire table was really tired, we were laughing really hard.... Both Andrew and Amanda were snorting they were laughing so hard.
I even made Star Wars and a 2002 almanac sound dirty. You have no idea how tired I was............

6th hour I took a math quiz.. Proofs. So it'll be ok.
7th hour was drama which.. was drama. Not much I can say about it. For our projects we have to make up characters and then do a speech about music and this girl Ashley is basing her character on me.
Now, I don't know if this is a good thing yet... to be honest I think its a little bit creepy.. but we'll see...

I'm home now. I think I'm gonna go to sleep for a bit... or play with my TiVo that I FINALLY got back.

Quote of the day:
Rosie: Why do you think I even started teaching? Not for the money.
Stefi: I thought it was so she could spread Judaism to the youth of Arizona…
-- my thoughts on why Rosenberg became a teacher.

"Did you wash it?"

OMG I am so tired. I can't go to bed late anymore. That doesn't mean I won't though. In fact, seeing that I slept three hours this afternoon I'll probably be up until about 1:30 AM. Oh well.

Ummmm not much happened today. Took the chem test. I think I did pretty well but I won't be surprised when I get my D- back tomorrow. After all, it is Rosenjew and she's bound to find SOMETHING wrong. You'd think she'd cut a Jew Girl like me some slack? But no...
No use kvetching though I suppose...

English was cool. We watched this old corny video on the Canterbury Tales, that I would have slept through if my desk wasn't located to the side of Sandberg's desk and she didn't have such a great view of me. So instead I slept through Sturgell's class...

At lunch I slept...
Math I slept...
Drama I worked on math HW...

I came home and slept..
I woke up and did most of my HW..
Watched Scrubs.

I've realized that due to my fatigue my blog has been suffering.
The entries just aren't what they used to be.
I apologize to my followers. I'll try to get some sleep and then write something clever this weekend...... Hopefully.

Ok, I'm gonna study for my vocab test.

Quote of the day:
Stefi: "Um... I got this right."
Rosie: "No, you didn't."
Stefi: "Yea, I did."
Rosie: "No, you didn't."
Stefi: "That's an N."
Rosie: "No, ::writes an N that's less loopy:: that's an N."
Stefi: "So is my N. That's how I write my Ns."
Rosie: "But that's not how I want you to write your Ns. Its wrong. Go back to your seat."
-- Rosie marking my Chem Symbol test wrong because my N was too loopy for her liking.


"Its a medical condition...."

I'm such a freak... I started my blog at lunch but I'm not gonna finish it. My loyal readers will just have to wait until I get home.

"I'm a Yoko Factor.... Nice.."

Just a day
Just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by.........

I was soooooo tired this morning.
Nothing really of any interest happened today... I was too tired to be alert.

Ummmm... lots of HW tonight.... Big Chem test tomorrow.

Everyone check out the comment Crystal left me. It's her lashing out on me.. just like you all wish you had the guts to do. You bastards. Too tired to be witty. Think of something clever and pretend I said it.

"You're not gonna dress up like her are you?... I mean, you could totally pull that off."

I made it through the entire day without going home early! Quite an accomplishment I do think.

First hour I got the phlegm out of my throat. Yea, I know, that's sick and everything... but really, it was nice. Nice moment there when the medicine kicked in.

Second hour- We did our lab with the quarters. I don't remember anything fun about it... Oh, well.. Justin and Robert made fun of the way I say water. I don't know what it is, but apparently I say water weird? Thus the reason I try not to use that word in conversation. Everytime I say it someone new makes fun of me. Everyone thought I was in a bad mood today too just because I wasn't being all jokey/rhymey. Just so everyone knows: I wasn't in a bad mood. I just didn't feel like being entertaining. Make your own fun people.

Third hour-
After announcing to the class that I was going to be doing the biography of Monica Lewinsky, Ms. Sandberg said, "If you're dressing up like her... at least wear a clean dress." Oh, I plan on wearing a beret too. I'm going all out.

Fourth hour we switched seats. Oh how I didn't want to switch seats. Except for Carson and Melissa Pilley I was all alone in the corner of The Sturge's class. It was lovely. 45 minutes of not talking to anyone.. it was really, really nice.
Now, however; I am almost in the dead center of the room surrounded by people I'd rather not be by. Matt Hall, Carson Wheet... just to name a few. I'm not sitting in my seat two minutes when the girl behind me (who is actually nice.) opened up her skittles wrong and the contents of the bag went all over me, this girl Nikki, and Matt Hall. It was kind of funny.. but, I really liked where I sat before.
Taste the rainbow..

Fifth hour Lindsey brought in cookies and stuff so that was cool... Then Amanda and I made fun of this guy named Himmler. It was really funny at the time..
6th hour was just math.
7th hour was Drama where we did research for our project... that means I basically surfed the web while listening to Vanessa Carlton all hour.

I'm supposed to get my TiVo back today... I doubt that happens... The people at Circuit City are such bastards. My mom made me call them this afternoon;
(After holding for twenty minutes, finally some 15 year old takes my call.)
"Hi, I was just wondering if my TiVo was ready to be picked up?" (Its been like... two months now.)
"Uh............ I don't know."
"Well.. do you think you can look?"
::silence for a good 10 seconds::
"I guess so. What's your last name?"
"Sparer. S. P. A. R. E. R."
"Ok. hold on."
"Thanks. (ass.)"
::10 minutes later::
"I can't find it. Are you sure you brought it in?"
"Yea.. I am."
"Oh, well. Sorry. Try again later."
::click::

Morons.. I want my TiVo back dammit!
Oh well... Perhaps some day this week...

Matzo Ball soup is for dinner so I must be going now.
Don't be so surprised, we Jews have matzo all year round. Not just on those special Jew days.

Quote of the day:
Andrew: "You could do Jane Shaffer."
Stefi: "And in conclusion, without Ms. Shaffer we wouldn't have WACS.... Oh, and then you can make a bunch of jokes about wacking!"
::Vangie comes up to table::
Vangie: "What's that?"
Stefi: "Wacking? It's when-"
Vangie: "NOT THAT! NEVER MIND!"
::Vangie rushes away::
-- Vangie freaking out again.

"What's your sexual preference?"

Woke up late... again. I don't know how I manage that almost everyday. I go to bed too late.
In Spanish we had to watch a movie on the Day of the Dead. People go all out for that holiday. It's cool though and the movie was like, 30 minutes long so it took up most of the class time. That means less time for Senora Flowers to go around asking people questions in Spanish. I HATE speaking in Spanish.

In second hour we watched the best film ever on density. This guy was reading off of a cue card in a blue leisure suit in some public access TV station set. It had to have been one of the funniest things I had ever seen, from the lack of safety precautions to the 1972 Mr. Wizard graphics. Then, he did this tower of Density thing where he took all of these hazardous chemicals and put them all in one graduated cylinder to look at how they layered on top of one another. (The "more fuel oil added" part really made me laugh.. ) Then we played "Will It Float?" with diet soda and regular soda (Diet: It floats! Regular: It sank... but there are no losers on Will It Float?....) It made my day.

Third hour we did grammar stuff and made fun of Daniel Thai..
Fourth hour I.. I don't remember.. I must have taken notes on something though..

Fifth hour was lunchtime and I did my math HW and entertained people all at the same time. Fun stuff... I wasn't feeling great so I called my mom to take me home. She said she'd get me out of school right away, but I told her to wait until 1 PM so I could go to math. I had done my HW and everything.. might as well. I also wanted to keep my grades up. I can't do that if I don't know what's going on now can I?

Sixth hour I really wasn't feeling well. I had a coughing fit and I just really wanted to go home. My pass finally came but it said 1:45 on it. There was nooo way I was going to stay until 1:45. Plus, my mom said 1 PM so I figured the office just made a mistake.. when I walked out to the front before 7th hour my mom was there so I knew it was the office who messed it up. Just to be on the safe side though I went to Mr. Bush and told him I was there but I was leaving. He was kind enough to give me my drama project curriculum... More about that later.

I came home and I saw the mail on the kitchen table. In the mail was a slip of paper saying we had a package.
"FINALLY! THE JESUS BOBBLE HEAD HAS COME!!!" I thought.
I forced my mother to take me to the post office and to stand in line to get our package.
After ten minutes our number was finally called. I gave the woman our slip and she hurried off to the back to get our box.
"Here you go." She handed over this huge ass box with the name Howard Sparer on it. Damn it, NOT THE FUCKING BOBBLE HEAD! No, instead it was Jam from the Amish country that my dad ordered. No, I'm not kidding you. Jam from the Amish country.
"No, this isn't what I want." I slid it across the counter back to her.
"But... Its your box..." she slid it back.
"Take the fucking box, Stephanie." My mother said.
"UPS Sucks." I said loud enough to my mother so that the employee heard me.

I came home and slept for about three hours, so I'm feeling better now, but I'm off to do HW....

Quote of the day:
"Do you think Daniel Thai pees?"
-- Me.. just wondering....

"Dude, is that Katie Davis? She looks..... Good."

Yesterday was Saturday? Really? Coulda fooled me... I had to get up early to take the PSAT test at school. Fun stuff.
I had gone to bed early (11:30 is pretty early for me) and I woke up at about 7:15 AM (Late.. I wanted to get up at 6:30) and I did not have time to look over the little booklet they gave us with practice questions so I had to look over it in the car on the way to school..... oh yea. I strive for excellence.

Went to the test... did the test. It was ok. I'm sure pretty much everyone who reads this took the test too, so you all know how it was.
Went to the mall.. bought shoes...
Went to Amanda's Party.

Now, ok, one thing to know about Amanda; she has more money than she knows what to do with. Obviously, her parents didn't know what to do with it either so they bought a Tudor castle and planted it in the middle of Phoenix.

Complete with a suit of armor, a 'winter closet', one Nsync clad bedroom, and at least twenty living rooms, the house is huge. A family of ten could easily live in the main room alone. I mean, its crazy. It's really cool though. I'd honestly just live in the guest house.

So I walk up to her home and I'm wearing my skirt.. cuz I figure, ok, its semi-formal and... I dunno I chose my skirt.. get over it, but I hear one girl.. I don't know who, say "Oh...... she's wearing a skirt........" Like I shouldn't have been. (People keep denying anything was said. Apparently, I was the only one who heard this. But I did hear it.)

"Hi, here's your gift." I shoved a box containing a picture frame into Amanda's hands, "I'm going now."
"You're not going, Stefi!" Amanda said. "You bought me a gift, you're staying."
"Well, at least let me go get my dress..." I pleaded as she led me through her house to the back yard.
"Stefi, you look fine! We're taking pictures out back."
Oh great. Yes, let's capture this moment. Stefi once again out of place.

Finally two other girls showed up in skirts. I never felt so happy.

Anyway...
We took the tour of the house. Amanda, you need a lamp in your room. I'm surprised you're not blind yet. I swear.
Andrew hit the gong by the front door (Yea, the gong...). He felt compelled to, and I kinda just meshed in with everyone.
I tried to make Josh's girlfriend feel as comfortable as possible. She was really nervous about meeting everyone.. so I was trying to be nice. She was cute and for those of you who obsess over Britney Spears; Do you remember the red dress she wore to the grammy's and how her hair was all curly? That's kinda what his girlfriend (Whose name I don't remember) looked like. So, I told her and she was all happy because she's just... obsessed (You think I'm bad with Billie Joe? Not like this) with Britney, but Jamie had to burst her bubble-
"I thought she looked chunky at the Grammy's." Jamie said simply inbetween bites of food.
Had Jamie seen my face it would have looked a lot like Josh's g/fs. Mortified, horrified, hurt.
"I didn't! I thought she looked really cute." I tried to save Jamie and Josh's G/F.. We'll call her Christie.
"Well.. Thanks.." Christie tried to laugh it off but looked to Josh, who was off in space, for support.
"Huh?" He asked when he noticed her looking at him.
"Anyway......" I thought a transition needed to be made.
"Why don't you just pull down her dress and throw her in the pool so she can get this nightmare over with?" Andrew said to Jamie.
I gave Andrew the dirtiest look. "You can't use my shit." I stated. "That's so mine."
He looked down in shame, "I know."
"Plus, that was totally late..."
He didn't answer. I don't think he heard me.

We hung around for a while. More people showed up... Crystal Pierce being one of them..
"She looks really bad in that dress." Andrew said with Crystal not even two feet away from him.
"You're so mean!" I laughed, "At least wait until we're in the car to make fun of her."
We watched as Crystal continued to lick frosting off of the cake plate.
"I would have done that too." Omaya told Andrew and me later in the car on the way to the dance, "If I didn't have self control."

OMG we are so mean.

The dance was fun. The DJ was... eh.. I dunno. At first nobody was dancing and I thought Andrew was gonna throw a fit but gradually people started getting into it.
We danced pretty much every song. Even the slow ones.
Dateless people like ourselves would get into a circle and sway with the music. Made everyone feel loved.

Came home.. took a shower...

This morning I went to my uncle's house for brunch and now here I am.. and I'm about to do some HW...
I hope everyone had a great time at homecoming :)

Quote of the weekend:
"I love listening to your conversations! You're so funny!"
-- Some random girl at the football game to Andrew and me after we were shouting out obscene comments towards the homecoming royalty contestants.

“Do we get extra credit for being here?"

I actually showed school spirit today. Isn't that weird? I specifically wore the one shirt I own that has purple on it. Granted, its just purple flowers, but the fact is, I wore it because it was purple.

In Spanish my teacher was in a good mood because Nick Harris brought in cookies for the class. Then we played this game where Flowers would say an English word and you had to hit the board and say the Spanish word.. It was just a lot of smacking the chalk board and yelling Spanish verbs.

Second hour Rosie was in a tizzy. First hour had already annoyed her and when she noticed more than half of our class was absent she threw a fit. Now normal teachers usually keep their fits under control, but not Rosie. She goes all out as only a New York Jewish Mother could. I swear, I thought she was gonna kill one of us. (I would have been spared though on account of the Jew Factor, so I wasn't really worried about myself.) After a bit she kind of settled down, but then the band people started coming in after being on the news and they were unprepared and loud so Rosie went off again. Rachel with the huge hole in her chin (that's her Indian name) is so lucky Rosie didn't get her sodium choloride out and spray her with it. Ugh, I wish she would have though.. that Rachel chick is annoying.

Third hour we basically did nothing again. I'm loving this Happy and Sexed up Sandberg. There was kind of a mini socratic seminar going on about good vs evil that I wasn't apart of, so I was talking to Jenna about Sailor Eryn and how she basically, more or less told me she wished I'd die and how she 'baptized' me because I was an "evil devil Jew" (This baptism was NOT authorized by me.) and all of the sudden, I realize that the entire class is listening to me. I end my story and Thomas makes some stupid comment that was not funny or good enough to remember, followed by "Could you stop talking?" from Siovosh.
"Could you say something intelligent?" I threw back at him and he didn't respond.
Yea, I covered that one.

Fourth hour was boring...
Fifth hour I went with Matt to go see Method Man.. then I did some HW.
Sixth hour was Math.
7th hour was drama and I kicked ass with my High School Rendition of Medea if I do say so myself.

After school I went to the mall and picked up stuff for Homecoming. It's too funny going to stores with my mom. She walks around calling out "Heather Anne!" and just being generally insane.. lol If you ever get to go shopping with my mother and me, consider yourself lucky.

K, well, I'm off to the Homecoming game. Go Rattlers!! WOO!!!

Quote of the day:
"I am taking a poll; Which of the following is most important to you?
1. Having fun?
2. Getting good grades?
3. Extracurricular activities?"
-- Daniel Thai in Chem Class and after everyone said 1 he replied "How could you possibly choose that answer?!"


“Virgin my ass!"

Awww Star Day. I almost came as Monica Lewinsky, but technically, she's not a star is she? She's just a Jew Slut. Finally, A Jew Girl I can look up to! I saw sooo many Avrils and Britneys today. Not to mention Skylars... I saw like... 3 guys dressed up as Skylar. I didn't realize so many transvestites looked up to her.

So what did I do today? Took a Spanish test. I did ok. Did my lab which Amanda messed up on second hour.. lol But, that's ok. I was able to observe Robert and get the needed info all at the same time.

Third hour was fun. We basically sat and did nothing and I always enjoy that.
I finally realized the true reason we're not taking the Beowulf test.
Ok, so if we took the test that would mean there'd be like 150 tests (probably including a couple essay questions which take time.) that Sandberg would have to grade right? And she'd have to do it this weekend because grades are due. But if she's grading then she won't have any time to have sex. The grading would take up her entire weekend. No time for the lovin'. She had to make a cut somewhere and she figured we needed the essays and not doing the seminar wouldn't have helped so... test it was. Now she's free to make whoopie with her honey all weekend. See how that works? It's the Sandberg Sex Theory.

Fourth hour with the Sturge..
Melissa Pilley walked in dressed as Madonna in her Like a Virgin days.
Laura shouted out "Roll on the floor. You're like a virgin!"
"Virgin my ass." I retorted.
Melissa Pilley suddenly got pretty quiet.
"I'm still a virgin...." she said.
"Oh, Yea. I know... I was just kidding. I know you still are."
"I am."
"I know."
There's an awkward pause as we both take our seats.
"I am." I hear Melissa whisper behind me from her desk.
"I know. I was just kidding." I turn around to face her.
"Ok."
"Ok."

Spent the rest of the hour trying not to throw up while listening to Carson talk. He's such a number 27. (ahhh no one is gonna get that but Matt... See we can use it like that... ok, maybe not)

I sat with Matt and Jamie during lunch. I listened to Jamie complain about all the boys who like her. Gee, her life must be so hard.
We all have problems I suppose.....

6th hour was math and I now sit between two of the most annoying people in the world.
One girl who does nothing but borrow everything I own and a kid who does nothing but talk.
I don't know who he's talking to, but he talks. Just... general talking. Maybe he has multiple personalites? I don't know.

7th hour was drama. After being harassed by Sailor Eryn and her minion Nickie, I decided to get out of class.. So I did.
Mr. Bush said I could go to the library to work on my drama HW. I spent the last half hour of school in the library on the computers.

Unfortunately though, so did Cody...
"Hey. Sit here." He motioned for me to sit by him at a table.
"Nah, I gotta work on my Spanish HW." I told the college reject (who should have graduated last year) as I walked away.
"Hey! Don't walk away from me, bitch! I haven't seen you in a while." He said as he followed me to the computers.
"Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppp," I thought to myself. Cody's not one of my favorite people in the world. I'd be happier if he wasn't around.
He spent the next twenty minutes going through my stuff (I wanted to kill him) taking away my spanish HW as I was writing on it (You thought I wasn't actually going to do my HW? You don't know me very well!) and asking me stupid questions like "Do you think Good Charlotte is as homosexual as I do?" or "You suck Dick?"
"Yea. All the time. You know me. I'm so dirty" I said as I translated my Spanish.
"I bet you're really kinky." He went to move my paper away again but I put my hand down just in time to hold it.
"You'll never find out though." I said without bothering to look up at him to make the statement more meaningful.
He just laughed. I wished he would go away.
Finally the bell rang and he ran off in search of his buddies (and hopefully a shower because he smelled).

I came home and from about... oh, 3 PM to 9PM just about, worked on fixing my AIM. It won't direct connect with anyone except my friend Travis and I'm DYING here. So tomorrow I have to get that fixed.
Ooo I have to buy a homecoming dress tomorrow too.
Yes, I know. Me, in a dress at a school function. Almost unbelievable.

Ok, well, it's late and I'm tired so I'm going to bed.

Quote of the day:
"Jesus, you're my best friend. Remember the one time, we had a pillow fight, Jesus, and I hit you and you fell.. and your sandle hit the fish tank and made a crack.. lol! That was sucha good time!"

Yea, I know.. I skipped yesterday…
“Yea, well I don’t see where the directions say “Break 250 mL Beaker” either.”

Yesterday… was boring. Nothing happened…. Unless you count Daniel Thai making a “formal meeting” with a senior member of our student government in my chem class. It went down like this;

Senior Stugo Member #1: “Did Anyone wear their class colors?”
::A few kids raise their hands. I was one of them even though I wore black that day. Senior Stugo Member #2 looks at me funny. I explain I want the free beads. ::
Senior Stugo Member #2: “Well, we only have yellow beads..”
Rosie: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it. Why only yellow?” (She never gives anyone a chance to explain.)
Senior Stugo Member #1: “The people messed up our order so we ended up getting in only red and yellow beads. They split us up though, so we only have yellow with us.”

I can sense Daniel Thai’s excitement because his breath quickens and he grips his desk. It’s the Daniel Thai orgasm.

Daniel Thai: “Are you only handing out yellow beads because seniors are in some way superior to sophomores?”

Daniel Thai must be stupid. She just explained why they were handing out yellow beads..

Someone in our class: “Just say yes!”
SSM #1: ::looks at SSM #2:: “Uh.. sure.”
Stefi: “Here he goes…”
Daniel Thai: “I would like to have a talk with you then.”
SSM #1: “Well, ok.”
Daniel Thai: “When can I set this meeting up?”
SSM #1: “We have Econ together. You can talk to me then.”
Daniel Thai: “No, I meant a formal meeting.”
SSM #1: “We’ll talk about it in Econ.”
Daniel Thai: “But-”
Stefi: “Drop it.”

And with that, the two Senior Stugo Members left. That, sadly, was probably the most interesting thing that happened to me on Tuesday.

Do you think a formal meeting is Daniel Thai’s equivalent to a date? Just asking.
Anyway-

Wednesday also, as everyone who is an AP or IB student knows, was our Socratic Seminar.
I wasn’t happy about this seminar. I didn’t want to do this seminar. I don’t think anyone but Justin and Ben really did. Those freaks.

So, 3rd hour comes.
Dun dun dun…
I’m at least in the first circle so I can get it over and done with.
Now, if you want your quick and stupid dumb ass remarks- I’m your girl.
You want something intelligent that people actually listen to? Go talk to Lisa Wade. I don’t do the whole.. intelligent conversation thang. Well, not very well anyway.

But I went through with the seminar. I was able to get oh… two words in before I was interrupted by who else? Amy. That girl was just rackin’ up the points today. So yea.. At least its over with. Gee, can’t wait ‘till the next one.

Had my book club meeting today which, was actually like a socratic seminar except I wasn’t nervous and it wasn’t on Beowulf… It was on Breathing Underwater, which was a good book about a this kid who beats up his girlfriend. It had adult themes at a fourth grade level. It’s easy to read so if you’re looking for a light read, pick it up.

Went to math.. Went to drama. Did my Meadea scene.. I had my lines memorized and Rick did not. He’ll get the bad grade though, not me. Anyway, then I went to Target and here I am. At home, writing to you guys instead of doing my English paper.
I should probably get on that.. Well, I’d write more but this is long enough already so.. I’ll write something spiffy tomorrow.

Quote of the day (Tuesday):
“Someone other than Daniel.”
-- Mrs. Rosenberg refusing to call on Daniel Thai to answer another question in Chem



Quote of the day (Wednesday):
“Rachel, its patriotic day, not clown day.”
-- My reply to this girl Rachel in my Chem class after she was kind of bitchy to me. She had a TON of make-up on today.

"You out and about?"

I think I'm sick. It sucks.. lol My throat is killing me... So I took meds. Lots of meds, therefore I was kinda loopey (more loopey than I usually am) all day.

First hour I took a Spanish test... We have 3 a week I swear, its insane!
Second hour Daniel Thai went off again on some rant about sheet metal. Honestly, that kid... Anyway, then he said two almost clever things in a row during class, and Rosenberg was handing out candy for every intelligent remark a student made so Daniel Thai was like "Where's my second piece of candy?"
Rosie: "I think one is enough, Daniel"
Daniel Thai: "That's ok, I will just resell it anyway."
Rosie: "It says they're not for resale..."
Daniel Thai: "Then I will trade it for favors."

Well, ya know. I was really out of it this morning and it was chem class so at 9:15 AM it was really funny. Looking at it now... its not so funny, but at the time, just know that it was.

Also, D.T. Refuses to vote in the homecoming elections. Something about... they weren't actual ballots so he wouldn't actually vote. He is nutzo.

3rd hour English I turned in my essay and in 4th hour Sturgell, I totally spaced out.
I was sitting at my desk just thinking away. I don't even remember about what. Probably something naughty when Sturgell points to me and says "Stephanie?"
Suddenly my world comes crashing down and I take the pen I was chewing out of my mouth.
"Hmm?" I answer.
I have no idea what we're talking about.
I have no idea if she's asked a question.
I have no idea what she wants.
"Did you have your hand raised?" She asks me.
"What? Oh, no. No, I didn't."
"Sorry, I thought you did." She moves on, "Melissa?"
That was scary. It's so easy to just black out in that class... I think she's a great teacher, I really do, but she's like Mr. Cherry with intelligence and not as many sound effects.... You know, that'd be pretty cool though if she started compairing the chapters to baseketball.

5th hour I was still out of it and wrote poems about my friends. They didn't make sense but everyone was nice enough to laugh anyway.
6th hour was math which was boring and 7th hour was Drama, which sucked.
That was my day.

Quote of the day:
::Katie Davis is talking::
Stefi (listening to music on an MP3 player): "This is so great. I can't hear a word you're saying!"
Katie: ::Mouths something that isn't actually anything.::
Stefi: "Yep, still can't hear you. What? Huh? Nope. Nothing."
-- Me just annoying Katie Davis

"Are you comparing your face to a vagina?"

It finally happened.
I finally have a cable modem.
Pretty nifty. I'm downloading things I never thought I could. Who knew there was that much porn in .mpg format?

Anyway, didn't do much yesterday (hence why I didn't write an entry.) Basically read...

Then I got online and Matt was telling me about his day and how D Man was supposed to call him and they were gonna go out but, as always, D Man didn't call and when Matt called his cell he didn't answer.... So, being the good friend I am, I used the evil voice box of doom to call Dereck (who picked up when I called) and yell at him for Matt. I dunno if they're talking yet or not... I hope everything ends up alright.

Ummm, got the cable today, did my HW. I just have to do my English essay now which shouldn't take that long hopefully...
And that has been my weekend.

Quote of the day (Saturday):
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
-- Me after Matt showed me something really just... ugh. Not enough words...

"Let's reenact it for them!"

After getting a couple threatening e-mails yesterday, I decided I should probably write...

We'll start with yesterday.
Yesterday was Thursday.
Yesterday I was tired.
Yesterday I barely made sense.
I barely remember yesterday... lemme think.

Well, I went to school. I said a few incoherent things came home and crashed. Basically.
Oh, lunch was funny... Andrew and I tried to corrupt Vangie again, who honestly has to be one of the nicest people I know... but she's so innocent... she's like Britney back in 1997... Anyway, if you want to read what happened at lunch Thursday read Andrew's blog (There's a link to it on the top of this site.).
I got home from school around 2:30 PM, fell asleep, woke up at 7:30 ish.. did HW... went to bed at 11:30 PM. Fell asleep at 1ish AM. Nice...

Now, Friday.
Spanish was... Spanish.
Chem was fun. We did our labs today. I dunno...there's something about seeing everyone in goggles and black aprons observing test tubes that makes me giddy with happiness... I think Daniel Thai is rubbing off on me.... ew. That sounds kind of wrong.. Amanda and I had a hard time with the burners today..... Justin, Bobby, Amanda, and I are all really lucky we still have our noses and eyebrows.
English we took our vocab test which I didn't do too well on this week because I was so tired last night I forgot to study! AHhh!
And then, a miracle occured. ::cue harps and white foggy stuff:: I was given a permit to leave school.
Sweet.

So Mommy took my sister (who she also got out of school) and me to Kierland Commons for a little bit of shopping. It was right across the street from where I worked over the summer. I used to watch Cute Coffee Boy every day around 11:20 AM go out and get coffee for the firm at the Starbucks they have there. The place has some really cool shops. We bought new drinking glasses from Crate and Barrel, then I bought a few shirts from FCUK. I saw a few people from the office but they didn't see me. I would have said hi.. but chances are, they didn't remember me since I sat at the front desk all day and took their calls and they probably wouldn't have really cared at all if I had gone up to them...;
"Hi, how are you?"
"Um.. I'm fine... and you are?"
"Great thanks... Oh, you mean name. I'm Stephanie. I worked with you over the summer? You know, I'd tell you who was calling.. You'd tell me to send them to your voicemail?"
"Doesn't Katie do that?"
"Well, yea, but I did too."
"Oh. Well.... ok." ::walks away::
"Good to see you too! Have a pleasant afternoon!"

Yea, anyway-
Then we went and saw Tuck Everlasting. Good film. Although, at the end, I didn't feel any closure. I felt there needed to be more... I do recommend it though. Nice way to pass the time.

OUR CABLE MODEM FINALLY GETS INSTALLED TODAY!!!!!!!!
And I may be going to the mall with Benji and Andrew but I gotta check on that.
Ok, I'll write more later..

Quote of the day (Thursday):
"Oh my G0d! He actually figured out the answer to a frickin' rhetorical Question!"

Andrew: "It's special Stefi. Just like you."
Stefi: "Aww..."

"We're honor students."

Oh.. it was a day. I was more cheerful today though, despite the fact that I haven't slept that much. I did happen to get a nice oh.. 10 minute nap in math though...

First hour I took a quiz in Spanish
Second hour I was half asleep.. Mrs. Rosenberg decided she had to mention Orthadox Jews towards the end of the hour. She gave the entire class (even though throughout the entire speech she was looking at me... as were the other 29 students..) this 10 minute lecture about the Shabbot and this and that about the Jews.... and Jesus Christ.. it's a frickin' Chem class. I swear, if I wasn't Jewish I'd be like "What the hell? I didn't know I signed up for Hebrew High.." and then I'd bitch out Rosie. I'd be mad. I'm sorry to all of my christian white/black/asian/other friends (except for Luca) who had to sit through that. But I have to admit... made me feel kinda special.. Or maybe that was just the warm feeling of Daniel Thai's breath against my neck? Either way.. (I swear.. that kid has a problem. like, he needs an inhaler or.. some kind of special medicine. Something.. He's always breathing all over me.) Actually, I should be nice to him since if he hadn't interupted Rosie with "Can we please get on with the chemistry lecture?" we might all still be sitting in her class learning about how to say the Kiddush at temple.

Anywho-
Third hour I read Beowulf. Oh, and yea, I was the one who wrote the comment card on White Oleander. I've had like.. 5 people ask me that today.. So just incase you thought you'd ask too.
Fourth hour was just boring and cold. I secretly made fun of Sky Guy in my head and then pretended like I didn't hear Carson ask me for the answer to number 5 on our worksheet..
Fifth hour was lunch. I did my Spanish HW... well, tried to anyway. I have this really bad habit of talking when I actually want to get my work done. I blame Katie Davis for coming over to our table and forcing us to make fun of her. I didn't get to use the soup line or anything spiffy like that.. but oh.. she could feel the hatred... but most of it was coming from Andrew, not me.

6th hour I did my work, took my notes, and fell asleep. I had nothing better to do...
7th hour Method Man decided he wanted to mix things up a bit and did improv. I still hate that class.. but I was able to finish most of my HW in it so that's good..

Sorry for the boring blog today. I have stuff to do.. Maybe I'll write later..

Quote of the day:
Stefi: "I like your hair Daniel. It's hip."
Daniel Thai: ::Daniel covers his head with his hands.:: "Uh... thanks.. My mother forced me to do it."
Stefi: "Well, its cool."
Daniel Thai: "If it were up to me my hair would not look like this."
-- Me complementing Daniel Thai on his new 'do.

I promised Amanda a decent blog today...
"Oh my G0d! I can't believe you just said that!"

My day started at 6:13 AM.
An hour and 13 minutes later than it usually starts. My alarm went off but I slept right through my mixed cd of Britney Spears, P!nk, and Shakira. I must start going to bed earlier...

I managed to get done in half an hour for school. How I did it, I have no idea. I think it was Mother Teresa. I should call the Vatican and tell them it was her second miracle that she performed from the after life so that she can just become a saint already. Aren't you sick of hearing about that on the news? You don't see Jews fighting about Saints and stuff. We fight about more important things like strips of land... I won't get into my political views on that though cuz I might end up with hate mail and I want to be loved. That's all I ask.

Anywho- Had a fight with my Mommy this morning and that was pretty bad.. but I tried not to let it upset me. Its all over now and once again its all good. Went to school after the tiff. I was feeling better than I did yesterday... but still a little eh.. Just certain people I can't avoid have been really annoying me lately.......... I'd say you know who you are, but they don't.. lol

I actually learned stuff in Spanish today. Did you know that 19% of AZ's population in 1999 was Hispanic? It's true. And there aren't any neutered nouns in Spanish. OMG that has to be THE longest class ever.

Went to second hour and saved Andrew's sorry ass.. kinda.
Rosie: "Tinsel would be so much nicer in copper don't you think?"
Andrew: "::Pffft::" Andrew makes a sound like "Wow, shut up already..."
::Rosenjew stops dead in her tracks and stares at Andrew like she's about to rip off his head.::
::The entire class turns to stare at Andrew.::
Rosie: "Did I offend you?"
Andrew: "Huh? (He's scared now. He knows he did something wrong.) What?"
Rosie: "Did I upset you?"
::Andrew desperatly searches for an explaination to his pffft sound::
Andrew: "Tell her, Stefi!" He pleaded from his seat across the room. I look up from my doodling. Nice. Andrew was calling on the power of the Jew Force.....
Stefi: "Oh... You have to understand Andrew.." I waved my hand to dismiss Andrew and his sound, "He does that all the time. That's like his thing."
Rosie: "Oh.. Ok then. Just as long as I didn't offend you.... Andrew."
She kind of laughs it off but holds her glare on Andrew a few more moments before she turns her attention back to a nearly climaxing Daniel Thai, eagerly stretching his arm toward the ceiling, ready to answer a question that has not yet been asked.
Rosie: "Daniel?" She calls on him.
Daniel Thai: "IONS!" He randomly shouts out and then smiles, waiting for Rosenberg's praise.
Rosie smiles sadly: "We'll get to those later, Dan."

3rd hour I found out Jenna fainted in her pyschology class (I thought everyone should know).... and I promised Priya I'd mention her.. so- Priya.. lol its ok about the grammar thing. Really. It's all good in the hood.

4th hour my class got really mad at Sturgell over their grades. It made me feel awful to see the kids totally bitching her out. I swear, I thought I was going to cry and it looked like Sturgell was too. She kept bringing up how sorry she was and everything. Saying how she was going to fix things. So a few people (me, Alicia, and two other girls I don't really know) stayed after class to tell Ms. Sturgell how it wasn't her fault. We perked her up a bit. Made her feel better.

5th hour I was going to be good and work on the script.. but I got distracted by a Christian blog that I had to make fun of. Sorry Matt.
AHhh right in front of Vangie I was making fun of the Christians. You should have seen her face.. I feel bad now kinda..

6th hour I did my math HW and 7th hour I ditched drama.
Well, parts of it anyway.
I had to see my counselor and so I asked Mr. Bush if I could go right as I got into class. The final bell hadn't even rung. So I went to my couselor. Looked over everything. That took five minutes.. then I sat in front of my locker and wrote my chem lab into my notebook. When I was done with that I cleaned up my locker a bit and listened to Shawna Derryberry and one of her many followers complain about Derick and how he gave her something green when she hates the color green or something like that.. I don't know. It was stupid. I didn't know why she was even talking to me. She probably just wanted to vent.
OK, well. That was my day. I have to do my Chem project thingy tonight. Ooo fun in a bag..

Quote of the day:
Andrew: "I have muscle it's just lower."
::Stefi feels a little lower::
Stefi: "Um.. Andrew, that's just your belt."

Fixed the big ass font...



"OK, that's it Archie. You're out of the gang."

Went to bed in a bad mood.
Woke up in a bad mood.
Went to school in a bad mood.
Wanted to leave school in a bad mood, but my mom wasn't home and wouldn't get home until 1:30 pm anyway.
So my mood continued throughout the day. I had my reasons.

First hour was crap.
Second hour was entertaining (lovin' the Merlin outfit Rosie sported) but Daniel Thai kept breathing all over me and we all know how much I love that.
Third hour made me wonder why Alison was in our Advanced English class. Really, she should be in English revisited.
Fourth hour I blacked out.
Fifth hour I basically sat yelling at Benji and trying to memorize my drama monologue. (Sorry Benji..) Just.. ugh, pretty much everyone 5th hour was annoying me. I was even mean to Omaya...
6th hour I ignored my math teacher and practiced my drama monologue. I got a lot of stares from the freakish people in my class as I recited it but I don't care.
7th hour I ended up not performing my drama monologue (Mr. Bush must have forgotten I had to do it.... how annoying after I practiced like, all day) and instead I tried to stay as far away from Rick as I could. Kinda hard since he kept trying to start a conversation with me and the fact that we're partners in this Medea scene... Mr. Bush won't let me trade partners either because everyone is paired off so its "Just easier this way." Fine. K. Whatever. Just for that, I'm going to be absent the day we perform. How do you like them apples, Mr. Bush?

I tried to perk myself up midday since for some reason I seem to be the one who sets the mood in my circle of friends and they started getting cranky because I wasn't being my entertaining self. I just ended up annoyed again though. The day was making me angry. Everything was making me angry. I just wanted to be alone. I'm still pretty upset.. and its over so many stupid little things that are never going to change. Things that if I said them outloud people would laugh or get mad at me for even being so ridiculous. Things I'll have to learn to live with or move on.

Yea. so no funnyness today.. I dunno, maybe if I'm feeling better later I'll make up something funny to put into my blog but.. for right now I feel like listening to Green Day really loud just in the hopes that my sister will get angry.

"Why don't you just undo his pants and expose his testicles so that he can get this nightmare over with?"

"Maybe later you can hold hands and skip?"

Sadly, its that time of the weekend... Sunday night. Not my favorite time. If I'm not too busy doing last minute homework, I'm dreading the school day on the morrow.

Tomorrow another week starts.. oh goody.

Today was pretty boring. Did homework. Read. I thought I'd get so much more done this weekend school work wise but I did practically nothing. I've been too involved in my book. White Oleander is seriously one of the best books I have ever read. Its right up there with Catcher. I don't put a lot of books up with Catcher so you know its good.

Tomorrow I have to find a copy of Breathing Underwater so I can start reading it for the NCHS bookclub. I've been to three bookstores and nobody has it. The media center is supposed to have a copy or two though, so I'll check tomorrow.

Ok, well.. I'm going now.

Quote of the day:
"IMing someone is like dating. If you're going in, go in for the long haul. You need a game plan. It's a commitment."

Oh, here's another test everyone can take:

Which Avril Lavigne Song Are You?
"Yay! Eighth graders!"

Well... if you haven't already read about it in another blog... (Three popped up just in the past week in my little circle of friends.)
I went out on Friday with Jamie and Amanda. Poor Andrew was caught in a lie by his Mommy and was forced to stay home. If we had only created the Study Buddy story one day earlier...

It seemed that by the time the three of us arrived at Desert Ridge, all the hot high school boys were replaced with 8th grade girls who recieved Nokias and training bras for their 13th birthdays. Tagging right behind them, not to be forgotten, were the girl's teeny tiny Dickie sportin' wannabe Blink 182 boy toys. These kids were so loud and obnoxious it was not to be believed. I think we were the oldest people in the theatre. I felt 30. I was the one telling the kids to shut up and getting annoyed when their cell phones rang in the middle of a crucial scene where Ice Cube or Lil' Ice or C to the Ube or whatever decides to sell his Daddy's store. It was a big moment and all I can concentrate on is a really bad downloaded ascending ring tone version of Weezer's Island in the Sun.

After the movie, I surprisingly didn't get kicked out AMC. In fact, I didn't get in trouble at all Friday..

Jamie's little friend Jett called during the movie (grr, but at least she had it on silent) and decided he wanted to hit on Jamie so he asked if he could meet up with us at Tower Records. I was the group leader so Jamie asked me if it was all right. I agreed, and said he could join. What was it to me? Anyway, so we get there and Jett's like... high or something and so is his friend Matt. They keep telling us we look like we've been tweaking. I decide to ditch them and I talk to Andrew on the cell. I wonder to Andrew if maybe I hide out in the classical music section the others will think I have left and leave me behind to roam Tower alone. That doesn't happen. Jett and his friend follow Jamie like two lost drunk dogs and Amanda searches high and low for the Justin Timberlake single that Tower never has.
Finally, after what seems like hours of aimless wandering, we're ready to hit Starbucks. A perk I look forward to on my Friday nights, only Jamie isn't there. In fact, we have no idea where she is. I decide its time to call her over the loud speaker. So we ask the college reject at the front desk to call her;
"Jamie Meadows, please come to the front desk. Jamie Meadows."
We wait about 5 minutes and finally she comes sauntering along with her two lackeys.

"Did you hear us call you?"
"Umm... no?"

Wasted intercom time. Oh well.
So we said goodbye to her little drunk friends and headed over to Barnes and Noble.
We walked around for a bit. Got our coffee. I watched Amanda spill her coffee on an Nsync magazine and then we started walking back to the valet parking so that our parents could pick us up.

Amanda left and this really drunk guy was having some tiff with some really drunk women.

Drunk ugly 40 y/o woman #1: "Cuuummmonnnnn we wanna gooooooo!!!"
Drunk Man: "I don't wanna go! ::exhales his smoke::"
Drunk ugly 40 y/o woman #2: "People are dancing. We want to gooooo now!"
Drunk ugly 40 y/o woman #1: "Let's just go."

So the two drunk women stumble in their stilettos to whatever 'night club' they have at DR. The drunk guy trails after them. Jamie and I begin to laugh. The drunk man begins to slur to us.

"Whatcha gonnadooo?"

I don't know what compelled me, but I answered him;
"Maybe you'll get lucky tonight?"
"No..." He spoke back to me, "There are some things a man doesn't want to mess with."
So he was a clever drunk...

He started to talk to both Jamie and I. I missed half of everything he said due to the fact that he was slurring so much.

The women returned not two minutes later each adorned with a cheap strand of colorful plastic beads.
Drunk ugly 40 y/o woman #1: "We had to flash our tits to get these!"

Nothin' like a classy lady.

Finally my mom came. She took Jamie home and then we went back to our house. I spoke to Andrew. Told him he missed out. Made him feel bad, and then I read until the wee hours.
And that ladies and gentlemen, was my Friday evening.

Saturday.
A majority of my Saturday was spent doing nothing. I read a lot of my book. I suggest White Oleander to everyone. A little on the depressing side, but still worth the ten bucks at Target. Around 5 pm I was forced to go out to Desert Ridge yet again with my cousin Jenna. Nothing on the exciting side over here. I mean, unless you count my cousin telling me she wants to be a play boy bunny... But I've known that for a while now.

Jenna: "What do you want to be when you're older?"
Stefi: "I wanna be an astronaut."
Jenna: "Really?"
Stefi: "Yea... (My cousin Jenna asks me everytime I see her what I want to be when I'm older. I always give her a different response.) What do you want to be?" I asked her even though I've known damn well what she's wanted to be since she was nine.
Jenna: "A play boy bunny."
Stefi: "Way to live in reality."
Jenna: "What?"
Stefi: "Nothing."
Jenna: "No, you said something about living?"
Stefi: "What? I didn't say anything."
Jenna: "Oh.."
Stefi: "Do you like flap jacks?"
Jenna: "Are those the things that are like a pancake?"

We walked around for a while then I went home.

I decided around 2:30 AM that I should write in my blog. So here I am... I'm done now. I'm tired. I want to go to bed. I won't, but I should... Oh well.

Quote of the weekend:
"Don't worry. We won't talk about Daniel Thai without you."
-- Me comforting Andrew

Friday, October 04, 2002

Hey everyone- It's Friday.
"You can have that quote, I'll just say something funnier later."

So... today sucked..

Morning Sucked.

Got a lovely 36/100 on my Chem test..... Proud day for me and my family. Then I went off to English where I got a surprising A on my vocab test. Didn't really help cure my bad mood though.

Took a test in Sturgell's class, which is always freezing, freezing cold. Anyway, the test was on the middle ages. I think I did alright, but who knows because I thought I did ok on her last test too and I ended up with a C...

Around Lunch things got better. I hung out with Judy (Andrew) and Benji (Ben). I kept them from studying for English, but you know. It was all in fun. We divised a cover up story so that Andrew could go to Desert Ridge with us tonight. (By us I mean me, Lindsey, Jamie, and possibly Heath because Ben isn't part of our group this week. I think that's the way Ben wants it to be though.) His mom didn't want him to come for some reason.. So yea, Study Buddy at Starbucks on Beowulf at Desert Ridge anyone?

At lunch I decided I didn't want to be at school anymore. I couldn't bear the thought of walking into the black box for 7th hour and seeing that off-Broadway stage production of a Drama teacher trying to reprimand 8 (not counting myself since we got a new girl Monday) mindless (and probably drugged. Seriously.) children running amuck, flashing each other (oh, its happened), groping each other (don't ask), and screaming (which for some reason always accompanies these things). So I did what any other teenager without a car would do; I called my Mommy. And bless her heart, she picked me up right before 7th hour.

We decided we wanted to go to Target since we had an hour to kill before my sister got out of school. We walked around making fun of Dr. Phil and John Edwards (who both have new books out) and everytime I left her side I heard "Heather Anne! Heather Anne! Where are you!?" (When we go anywhere public my mother loves to call me Heather Anne.) Then we walk up to the cashier to pay for my book (White Oleander) and a couple things my mom bought. This hot guy was working the cashier. I mean, really. He was hot. Not just like.. oh, he's hot I guess... No. Hot. Anyway, so I'm looking at his name tag which said "Matt" on it and I realize the lettering is in red and not black like the name tag Matt gave me so I said something to my mother. Well, she was off... She was just looking for an excuse to start talking to this guy.

Mommy: "We have a Matt Target name tag too!" (Matt was kind enough to give me his old name tag since I lost the Sheldon one he gave me earlier.)
Target Matt: "...."
Mommy: "Well, it used to say Sheldon, but we lost that one and now it says "Matt" too, only the lettering is black. Why isn't your lettering black? Do you like it better red? Have you had a black one? Do you take your pin home with you after work?"
Stefi: "Jesus... Mommy. Stop."
Target Matt: "Uhhhh..... ?"
Mommy: "Heather Anne keeps her pin on her back pack. Don't you?"
Stefi: "You really need to be quiet now.."
Target Matt: "Just enter your pin code here, Ma'am."

Ahhh so yea... She always has to like.. make a scene no matter what. I mean, it's funny. But you have to be there.. she sounds insane when she talks to these people.

Later in the car:
Mommy: "He was trying not to smile. I saw that."
Stefi: "No, he was thinking to himself "Should I call security and have the whack job and her daughter escorted off of the premises or let them just pay for their stuff and get the hell out?" "
Mommy: "You are so not fun, Heather Anne."
Stefi: "I'm fun.. just in a different way. I'm normal fun. You're psycho fun."
Mommy: "Let's go to Sizzlers!"
Stefi: "You're mad! Let me out of this car!"

Yea. So that was my day..

I noticed today there is some fierce hatred going on between the Drama Crew and the Choir People.
Has anybody else noticed this? They're like.. two seperate rival gangs in a cheesy highschool production of West Side Story. I keep half expecting the two groups to get together and have a "fight". I can picture it now.
::lights go down. Music starts.::
I see Thomas dancing around snapping his fingers with some show choir people:
"Chorus......"
Amanda Caringi and a group of drama lackeys equipped with jazz hands come out of the shadows and twirl around:
"Drama......"
They skip around each other and stop every once in a while to pose-
"Chorus...."
Enter a leap kick.-
"Drama....."
And they sell it with a look.

The drama people are complaining that the chorus people stole all of the good roles in the musical.
OK, Drama people, you act. Most of you do not sing. It's a musical. That means you must sing and act. Get over it and then audition for the regular play we're having later in the year. (I'm in a bitchy mood today.)
Anywho......
Gonna get a nap in perhaps and then get ready to go out and aboot.

Oh, take this test:

Which Mel Brooks Movie Are You?

brought to you by Quizilla

It's just quick and fun if you're bored (And you know who Mel Brooks is).

Quote of the day:
Stefi: "You keep your bible on your palm pilot? What so you can worship during math class? Oh, excuse me one minute while I look at palm 1:17. Or.. zalm? Or.. whatever they are. I don't know. I'm Jewish."
Eric: "It's Psalm."
Stefi: "Thanks.."
-- Me just.. being dumb as usual.

"Oh, it's um.. in my locker.."

Yea, so it was a day....

1st hour was boring. We just went over our Spanish test.
2nd hour-
The Chem Test.
Well, ok, so I have this thing. A quirk. One of many, where I have to sit in this certain desk in Rosenberg's class when taking a test. (she rearranges the desks and you get to choose where you want to sit.) Anyway, I'm insane. I know. You don't have to tell me twice. Yea, so I walk in, and Thomas is about to sit in the desk..

Stefi: "Thomas, you can't sit there!"
Thomas: "Well, too bad 'cause I already am."
Stefi: "Thomas. YOU do not understand! I HAVE TO sit there. It's this thing I have. I have to."
Thomas: "That's too bad isn't it? I'm sitting here."
Stefi: "Thomas, I need to sit there!" I'm like, freaking out right now. I need to be comfortable during a test since I get over excited about tests anyway. Thank G0d Rosie came to my rescue (I love being Jewish);
Rosie: "For G0d's sake, Thomas. Let Stefi sit there. There's another desk behind you!"
Thomas gave me the dirtiest look. Once again, being Jewish has its benefits (You know, now that the Holocaust is over.) She favors me all time....
Stefi: "Jesus, thank you."
Yea, I know. It's a desk. But I have this thing and.. I needed to. I don't care how crazy everyone thinks I am. You have your little quirks too...

Anyway,

So... I was really, really nervous about this test. If you know me, you know I am terrible at math. Not even bad.. like, beyond bad. Way beyond. The furthest from good. Anything that has to do with numbers scares me.

It was 6 pages and I'm just proud I completed it.
I'd be even happier if I did decently..

3rd hour- Beowulf. Need I say much more?
4th hour- Sub. Amazing, Sturgell wasn't even here and we still had a load of work to do..
5th hour- Lunch. Ate with Juana, Mini Ha Ha, and Dimple... then left to go find Judy, Lindsey, and Benji but I didn't see them in the library and on my way back to the cafeteria my Mommy called me on my cell. Usually she leaves messages since my phone isn't normally on, but I turned it on this morning and must have forgotten to turn it off. We talked the rest of lunch. She was just telling me about her day and I gave her an update on mine.

I went to 6th hour math and then 7th hour drama.. which was more disgusting than usual. And now I am at home recovering from my day.
I have a ton of HW and three tests tomorrow...
Maybe I'll be sick tomorrow... Hmmmm..

Quote of the day:
Daniel Thai: "Are you mad at me?"
Stefi: "Mad at you? Why would I be mad at you?"
Daniel Thai: "For being immature yesterday in 3rd period English with Ms. Sandberg. I made an obscene comment about the female gender and I apologize."
Stefi: "Oh that... Nah. Its ok."
Daniel Thai: "Oh phew! Thank you. It will never happen again!"
Stefi: "I should hope not!"
-- Daniel Thai apologizing to me in Chem.

"Good G0d Barbie! How do you put your bra and panties on in the morning?!"

I slept last night.. kinda. I mean, midnight. That's early for me. That's good. And the fact that I actually slept? Well, I highly doubt that'll be happening again anytime soon. Let's hope it does though. It's so nice to feel fully awake. It's like a whole new me. I've never felt so witty, so... so... full of life. Is this what it's like to sleep? Why didn't anyone tell me this? If I feel this nice with just 5 hours, imagine how nice I'll be with 6 solid hours! Imagine! It won't ever happen, but to imagine it, its fun.

1st hour. Oh Jesus, what did we do first hour? Oh, checked Spanish HW. OK, boring.
2nd hour- Let's not even discuss Chem. It was Chem....... Anyone who has Rosenberg knows how that is.
3rd hour-English...
Sandberg got engaged! I'm so happy for her! She was beaming. Nothing could dampen her spirits. It was so nice. She couldn't even concentrate on anything she was trying to tell us. She kept staring at her ring and laughing and smiling. It was really great to see her so happy. Daniel Thai entertained us with more of his antics and then Thomas tried to diss people. He laughs at every single one of his stupid jokes....jokes... if you can even call them that..
4th hour- Sturgell loves me. I created this whole like, ebonics way to remember the feud between Gregory VII and Henry IV and lay investure. She loved it which really surprised me since I didn't think she was listening to me talk to my study buddy anyway..
5th hour- Took a Spanish test and then hung out with Andrew and Ben.
Ben, for some reason can't have girls around when he's talking to his dad. I don't know what's up with that.

Ben: "No dad, there's no one here."
Stefi: "Ben, put your shirt back on!"
::Andrew and Stefi laugh silently::
Ben: "No, I'm just with Andrew. Yea... uh huh. We're studying."

Then I learned Andrew goes commando...

Andrew: "I'll sit like this" ::Spreads his legs out:: "Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't since I'm going commando today."
Stefi: "WHAT?! Dude, are you serious?"
Andrew: "Yea. It's not a rare occurence."
Stefi: "EW!"
Andrew: "What? Its free. Although, I do get easily aroused like this."
Stefi: "Oh, NO MORE. NONE."

Then sixth hour I got a B+ on my math quiz. Yes. I know. Me. I didn't fail! Again!
Can you believe it? Neither can I. There must be some kind of mix up.

7th hour I had to go to the "bathroom". I didn't actually go... You see, I don't use school facilities. Ever. Never ever. But I did have to get out of that class... Anyway, rearranged my locker, then went back to class. Mr. Bush decides he needs to see me in his office right before the bell rings. At first, I'm a little scared because, with him, G0d only knows what he could want to talk about..

Mr. Bush: "Close the door, please."
Stefi: "OK.." ::closes door.::
Mr. Bush: "You are a very talented student."
Oh, great. Not this crap again.....
Stefi: "Aw.. well, thanks Mr. Bush." (I like to say his name as much as I can. Mr. Bush. Come on. If you could call your teacher that, you would too.)
Mr. Bush: "You have real ::click:: (the saliva is building up again...) potential as a writer and ::click:: an actress."
Stefi: "::pushes back a gag:: Thanks, Mr. Bush." (I've said his name twice now.)
Mr. Bush: "There's a contest for creative writers that I want you to ::click:: enter. I think you ::click:: have a really good chance of winning! I've seen some of your ::click:: English essays (He's reading through my stuff? OMG....Sandberg let him?) and I loved everything ::click:: that you've turned into me so ::click:: far. You were the only ::click:: one who made fully developed characters in ::click:: your short skit that you ::click:: handed into me and it was very entertaining."
Damn straight. I'm The Stefi.
Stefi: "Oh really? That'd be great, Mr. Bush! (3) Thanks for thinking of me! Sounds good."
Mr. Bush: "It's no ::click:: problem! I'll have the info for you by tomorrow, I can't find it ::click:: right now. I just wanted to let you know."
Stefi: "Ok, cool. Thanks." I turn to leave. The conversation seems complete. I'm just about to turn the door handle.................
Mr. Bush: "Oh, and Stephanie?"
Damn it. So close.
Stefi: "Yea, Mr. Bush (4)?"
Mr. Bush: "Don't let the others in the class bring you down."
Stefi: ::fake smiles. It's just like one of those cheesy T.G.I.F. shows.:: "I don't, Mr. Bush (5. I wonder if he noticed I was saying his name so much?).
Mr. Bush: "Good. See you tomorrow Stephanie."
Stefi: "See you tomorrow, Mr. Bush (6)."
Yea... Teacher's pet? Me? No..

Then I stayed after school with Andrew and Ben who gave me a crash course in Chem basic math. We were later joined by Crystal Somethingoranother who added nothing to our conversation. Well, she added Wheat Thins.. that was a nice touch I guess.

My Mommy picked me up from school at 3 and I forced her to take me to Office Max (where she went around the store calling out "Heather Anne!" everytime I left her eyesight.) to get me a calculator and some neon index cards since I ran out of the pastel ones and I have to keep color coding my English Vocab cards. People depend on me for my quirky things and I have to keep the people happy. She also bought me a coke which I never should have drank because I got really hyper off of the caffine. It took me a while to calm down... I'm kind of ok now. I'm still a little wired but not as much...

I have HW to do and I'm going to study just a bit more for my Chem test tomorrow...

Quote of the day:
"Shana sit."
::dog stands up.::
"Shana sit."
::dog flips over on her back::
"Shana sit."
::dog stands on all fours::
"Shana sit."
::dog sits::
"Good puppy! See, I told you she sits when I tell her to."
-- My sister showing me how she 'trained' my dog (who failed obedience school twice.)

"Your hair looks the same everyday."

Another half day! Woo! Its the last one for a while though sadly...
Not much went on today... was mean to Katie Davis again ("Do you like flapjacks?" was used in place of the soup line.) and I took a math quiz.. I am so tired... I don' t know why I go to bed so late. Why do I do that to myself?

Coming home from the car today, Heath and his mother had their usual after school argument. I'm not kidding, they argue everyday on the way home. It can be over NOTHING too. For instance, today, their argument started off small;
Heath: "We don't have anything good at home to eat."
Ms. Hammond: "We do. I went shopping today."
Heath: "Yea, but it wasn't there this morning!"
Ms. Hammond: "Don't talk to me like that you little shit head! We have stuff you like now."
(Imagine Ms. Hammond saying everything with her southern accent.)
::we sit in silence for a few minutes listening to some mad Hindu chant CD::
Ms. Hammond: "You didn't clean up the bathroom this morning."
Heath: "Yes. I. Did."
Ms. Hammond: "Heath, don't lie to me! I know you didn't! You left the seat up and where its supposed to be white it had yellow pok-a-dots."
Stefi:"Oh ewwwww Heath. EW."
::Heath looks mortified as I give him a disgusted look::
Heath: "That's not true! I cleaned it!"
Ms. Hammond: "You did not! You never clean it you lazy ass! When we get home you better clean up all of your shit that's in the living room too. I am so tired of this."
Heath: "::under his breath:: Screw you."
Ms. Hammond: ::turns off Hindu chants.:: "Excuse me, Heath? I did not hear you."

Yea, the car rides are fun.

Anywho-
Sorry to dissapoint the boys (and the girls..) ... but the jig is up. Those dry English scientist have concluded that there is no connection between shoe size and penis size. (Measure for yourself here.) I was always told that the formula was half the shoe size plus one.. They're saying that the length of the nose might have something to do with penis size now. I don't know, figure that one out for yourself. Have fun boys.

Well, I'm off. I have better things to do with my time.. like chem HW.

Quote of the day:
Heath: "I had such a bad day!"
Stefi: "Yea, I'd have a bad day too if five girls who liked me thought I was going to homecoming with them."
Heath: "It's a real problem!"
Stefi: "Oh! I know! Terrible! Forget world hunger! Who cares if the stock market is drying up like a prune? Cancer? What cancer? Heath has problems!"
Heath: "I think you went overboard with the cancer thing."
Stefi: "Really? I thought it was the prune bit that I should have cut out."
-- Me making fun of Heath because he's a little pimp.

I've decided to include titles from now on for my blog..

"Do you party?"

Ahhhh Monday. Usually, I don't like the them. But today was pretty good. I was surprised.
It could be due to the fact that I was half asleep all day though. Like, this morning, I was laughing over G0d only knows, and I couldn't stop. Crazy... Anywho.

1st hour.. Spanish boring
2nd hour chem- made fun of Daniel Thai who Amanda apparently decided was going to be my date to homecoming? Yea, I think not. You want him there so much, you ask him.
3rd hour- English boring.. I heard we were going to switch seats in class today, but that information was wrong. Figures, since I got it from Thomas.
Let's see... Sturgell was... boring.
Lunch was ok. I was so tired I was just laughing. I was talking and not making sense. Don't ask me what I said, I don't remember, but at the time it was really funny.... to me, anyway..
Dorothy tried to talk to me again. I ignored her.
All she ever wants to talk about it this guy Paul and I really, really don't care.

6th hour Ramon was high.
Ramon: "Wow!!! ::laughs uncontrollably:: You are a LYA!!! ::points to me and then laughs some more::"
Stefi: "Ummm what? Are you high?"
Ramon: "::Laughs more:: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. ::puts finger to mouth:: Shhh ::laughs:: Be quiet white girl! Why you gotta be so damn loud?!"
Stefi: ::Performs the test where you make the person follow your finger. Ramon's entire head turns when I move my finger around::
Ramon: "Gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlll. What are you doin' to me? ::laughs::"
Stefi: "You are so stupid."
Ramon: "No! You're stupid! Sh ::begins to laugh again:: ut upppp!!!! You're high! ::laughs:: Look at you! Being so damn white!"

It went on like that for a good 45 minutes.

7th hour drama we got a new student named Megan. We're not in class 3 minutes when she asks the 7 of us if we party.
Stefi: "No..Why, do you?"
Megan: "Oh... Well, yea..."
Stefi: "What do you do?"
Megan: "I do everything."
Stefi: "It's bad for you."
Megan: "::shrugs:: I know."

Her hair was cool though.... It was like red, blonde, and brown but it was blended. She's is, however, a dumb ass.
Connor: "AIMS Math.. Gee, you're smart..."
Megan: "Yea, well, my counselor thought it was best for me."
Connor: "Yea... Maybe you should stop taking drugs?"

She's been here a day we're already ragging on her.
Oh well, now I'm home. Cox cable comes on Wednesday!! Woo! And my TiVo still has about another week...
Happy I will be the day I get my TiVo back.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it- What's up with the other Stephanie in 2nd hour chem? Does she only hate me because I have the same name as her? Or because she has issues? I think we should take a poll tomorrow in class. Daniel Thai can oversee it and make sure everything is accurate.

Quote of the day:
Katie: "-Insert a 2 minute speech on Chem A here-I really find chemistry a most interesting class. What do you think?"
Stefi: "::Pauses:: oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about soup."
-- My reply to a boring Katie Davis (David?) this morning in the library

Nothing has happened. I have nothing to write...
I went over to my cousin's house yesterday.. That's where the fun ends.

My Mommy isn't feeling well and my Daddy is mad at Cox communications for not installing our modem yet, which let me tell you is insane since I think we ordered it back in like, August. So I have no idea where they've been or why they haven't installed it. I have Scrubs episodes and Britney Spears videos to download people. I need this modem. Ahh..

It's been a nice, boring weekend.... for me anyway.
I just realized that I actually do have a lot of homework and I haven't even started on it.... fabulous. I'll try to get on that before 10 tonight.

Quote of the day (Saturday):
"I want to see him table dance!"
-- Amanda Caringi on what she would do with Daniel Thai at a party after getting him drunk.
