MY WAAAAAAY OVERDUE POST ABOUT WASHINGTON DC--MY SCHOOL'S TRIP!!!! :D

Yeah. Those are 3-D glasses. And I am the one wearing them.

So, I was in The US capital city, DC. It was actually like 3 and a half to 4 weeks ago!!!! No internet connection!!!! AUGH!!!

But here are the RELEVANT pictures:



The lovely and talented Ms. Georgia Schunk. We called all attractive men on the trip "squirrels" and spoke with British accents. Proof of her awesomeness.



My new, tall, statuesque boyfriend. That is SOME hot metal ass! LOLZ



Random people.



I'm losing track of the pictures I'm putting on here but I think this one is Mr. B?
At our dance we gave each other WTF looks when my friend and the teacher standing next to each other started to DANCE together. Ugh. Weird.



Sam, my always-has-been-and-always-will-be blogging inspiration. <3



Angry Jessica in my beautious camera's sunset setting.

And the only thing that can top Jess is......!



In my defense, at the time of this picture's taking I was overheated, underested, tired from walking miles and miles in Michael Kors, underfed (the food the whole time sucked) and I'm a middle schooler. And I found it something to giggle about.

Willow

I'm going to recommend you read:



Willow by Julia Hoban.

I haven't read a book this good in a while. Not since When She Hollers by Cynthia Voight.

But, this is really such an intelligent book. Not just the plot of the story, which is actually a love story, twisted by the fact that the main character, Willow, self-injures after being the driver in a hideous car accident that claimed the lives of her parents.

So, Willow moves in with her older brother, his wife, and their infant daughter. And the relationship between her and her brother is tense and frayed, which causes Willow even more pain. Then she meets Guy.

He's sensitive, he's smart, he's into anthropology (the field into which her parents and brother are, or were, in), actually, he took a class taught by her brother, and he KNOWS about her after their, like, second meeting. And he's just so CONCERNED. And, as a girl, I think that's just incredibly cute and sweet that he sticks by her and cares about her even though he knows that she's do effed up. (I didn't check off the "uses curse words" thing while creating my blog so I try to avoid using that word if I can...Don't think I'm lame!!!!!)

And really, how it all plays out is so sweet. But it's told in this chilling kind of third person. There's no hiding, no pretending. Everything just...happens.

And I really think you should read it. My crappy book review is really not doing it any justice. Otherwise I know you'd be dying to go the Borders Ink (the teen section of Borders.) In which case pick up The Nature of Jade by Deb Caletti, Runaway by Wendelin Van Draanen, then go over to the Adult Lit section and get a copy of The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. (A POTO post WILL come!!! I'm obsessed!)

Now, back to Willow.

No, not really, I just didn't want you to forget with the crapload of recommended/required reading load I just piled on for you.

Just remember, it's only because I love you.

It's Been Gone So Long That I Forgot How Great It Is...

You know that feeling of a crush?

Not the blushing mad leave-me-alone-I-don't-want-to-tell-you part, but the part where no one even suspects anything? The part where almost-love is still pure?

God, I love love.

And I'm probably being so weird by blogging about this, but as long as I have it I just want to be HAPPY. I want to feel that fantastic, lovely, charming feeling.

I haven't felt this happy feeling since my last boyfriend broke up with me unexpectedly. I was shattered for a while. By the time I managed to bounce back there wasn't really a guy who I was interested in. Most of the guys in my grade are immature, active in douchebaggery, or just plain stupid.

I don't like stupid people. To all of my friends, I love you because you ARE NOT stupid. Because you have regular old smarts, and because you're smart enough to at least realize SOME of your self-worth.

So, yeah. My standards are a little too high for this town. Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world.

I only live a minute from the train station. :D

But I'm just so blissed out.

And who is he?

That's my secret.

CVS ADVENTURE!!!!

So, so long my loves...

Mi dispiace.

Today I shall talk about my epic trip to CVS.

Soooo FUNNY!!!!!!

So, on the bus home My friend...let's call her Alia, yeah, that works, decided to go CVS, and by "go" I mean "walk through the busiest intersections in our town to go and buy Arizona green tea."

So I went home, told my mom my plan, she gave me a condition. I agreed, got money, changed into my black Converse high tops (from a pair of flats by Michael Kors) an went to meet Alia.

We walked about half a mile after we met up, and the bus for the intermediate school went by. Alia waved it down and it stopped. Our middle school bus driver was driving it. He agreed to drive us to CVS because he was really cool. He had to drop off two other little childrens first, though. then he dropped us off. We were talking about how shiny the head of one of our teacher's is. :)

Nothing too eventful happened there until we saw...DUN DUN DUN, the evillest teacher in our school.

And then Alia told me that one of the old guys (60 years about)was checking me out.

PERV!!!!!

My condition: I had to ask the manager if our Girl Scout Troop could sell our cookies there at a booth sale tomorrow. Manager wasn't there. We talked to the assistant manager.

We walked home, and when going through a busy intersection, while I was safely on the other side, Alia had dropped her phone IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT BROKE!!!!! How funny is that?!

Very.

Then we walked home, and after the booth sale tomorrow, we will walk over to the Carnival that came into town and I will meet my blind date.

Ugh. Wish me luck! <3
