I seriously felt like a duck all day. Is that normal?

What do you think? I finally got my blue streaks yesterday... Katie, Sam and I took the bus uptown to the hair school, where it's pretty cheap and they have all the cool colors. I love them!!! I'm finally not bored with my hair anymore for the first time in, well, years. Lots of people gave me strange looks today, especially the people I haven't really talked to since last year, when I was a quiet, depressed kid. High school has been better to me than middle school was.

It was back to school today. My teachers are starting to freak out about exams coming up in two and a half weeks. I learned that I have to write an essay for English, another one for Social Studies(about, I quote,"Anything that happened in Canada before the 80's"), and a project for Science, all in the next two weeks. In math, before exams we have to go over what was suppose to take us a month to cover. Today, we went through most of a unit in a period. I fear for my sanity in the next few weeks.

In English today we played Jeopardy. Everybody in my team was too lazy to dig out a piece of paper, so I got one out of the desk. It was blank, except for a little bit of writing at the top: "What did you do?" In different writing, there was "I killed a man." It made my day.

What also made my day was when one of my friends, Katelyn, walked into school and handed Nick a spray bottle. "For Corey," she said. (Corey is this really annoying, really horny guy who really ticks everybody off.) We thought about using it on guy Sam, but it later came up that he's a gremlin, and we really don't want more of him.

Homework calls. *barf face*

2010!!!!

I'm so siked that it's 2010. But I can't believe that I forgot about the polar dip until today. I totally should of went to Mispec and get hypothermia with the rest of those insane people. Well, for New Year's Eve, I went to Sam's house with Katie and Shantel. We weren't entirely sure what we were going to do, our plan was to go to her house and just see what we ended up doing. We watched pretty much half of the first season of "Fame", went for a walk in the dark around Simonds, and ate so much junk food that it took me two days to recover. Then, of course, I just drank an entire package of blue jello, which got me back to feeling sort of sick.

I haven't done anything since I came back from Sam's. It's snowed pretty much constantly since then, so it's been kind of limiting to what I can do. I made 6 hemp bracelets this afternoon because I was so out of stuff to entertain myself with. I think I've made one of those was in 6th grade. I'm really digging the spirally ones.

I think I'm going uptown to get my hair done tomorrow. Blue streaks! I'm pretty happy.

Today in church, during the sermon the pastor took out a bag and pulled out a toy boat and a little car, a red bug. My brother immediately punched my arm and yelled,"Punch buggie red, no punch backs!". Half the congregation started cracking up. It made my day.

When this memory fades, I'm going to make sure it's replaced

If you're wondering what's with the song lyrics in the blog titles, it's because I can't think of any titles. I just don't want to leave it blank.

I went to my other grandparents' today. I've acquired $150 from my relatives the last two days, the ones who have no idea what to give me for Christmas and feel guilty about it. I've decided that some of it is going towards blue streaks, and the rest is going in my savings. I sure my elderly relatives are going to be thrilled that their money went towards the 'Julianne feels like dying her hair a very unnatural color' fund. I'm not planning on letting them find out.

I got home about and hour ago, and I'm bored out of my mind already. The thought of my friends being at the mall without me, which I know they are at the moment, is making me unable to entertain myself. Colin, this kid I barely know from youth group and hangs out with my friends at Simonds, used Jamie's phone to call from the mall, and left a message in a British accent. It pretty much made my day.

I just thought that was the best part of my day, when my dad walked into my room carrying my cat, who has her head stuck in a grocery bag handle. It's been half an hour, and nobody has taken it off her yet. We're all too amused by it, I guess.

Here's some pictures from my walk this morning. They turned out even better than I thought they would, because of the new snow:

Post Christmas musings, I guess

Christmas was good, I guess. Not overly exciting. I do, however, now have a iPod touch, which I'm on right now at my grandparents' house. I went to my cousin's house earlier today. There was one of my aunt's friends there, who seemed to have big dreams for her 8 and 10 year old children. I feel sorry for the kids. She'd decided pretty much their whole future for them. I'm so glad that my parents haven't decided what they want me to do with my entire life. Well,anyway, so I got to see my pregnant cousin,my destructive cousin, my nearly blind great aunt, my dying great uncle, my first cousin with a broken leg. My goodness, I have a dysfuctional family.

Tomorrow I get to visit my other grandparents. I guess christmas means a lot of visiting in a very concentrated dose. I think we're getting pizza for lunch tomorrow by my grandmother's request. My whole family was pretty shocked by that request, as she is very meat-and-potatoes like. Being in her house is kind of like Aunt Petunia's from Harry Potter. "It seems almost too clean." It makes me feel like breathing will disturb it.

Tomorrow morning I want to go for a walk and take some pictures of the awesome old houses on my grandparents' street. I might post some of them later.

My Grammie tried to tell me how to use facebook. Epic fail.
Peace!
