The kitty in MS Word is so very funny! *smile*

School was all right today. We went to LACMA and saw the Impressionist paintings. They were interesting, I guess. I had problems seeing them because I'm so farsighted; I have to stand much further back than everyone else. It's very frustrating. We also saw the Ghost In A Shell photography exhibit. That exhibit was all right (I didn't have to stand so far back to see!) but I found it much less interesting than my personal art preferences. I tend to enjoy art that I can hear or touch better. Even paintings, I like to be able to feel them, touch the paint and the canvas, smell it, as well as see it, like on a wall. Maybe that makes me weird. Oh well. I've always been weird.

When I went to Borders to pick up a copy of The Scarlet Letter, Isabel Allende was there! I saw her, however, my mom wouldn't let me stay to get her autograph because the line was really long. I missed her presentation also *frown* because I didn't know she was going to be there. Baah. Next time I'll keep better track of her whereabouts. I love her books so much..

Time for bed. It is so very late, isn't it? I'm thinking about a story for the Seventeen Magazine fiction contest..I have a really good idea, but I don't know if it can win. It might be too controversial.

Konnichiwa..I am so very depressed..

This always happens in an 'Amanda' conversation. I'm referring to Amanda from Australia. It was during our last Gay-Straight Alliance meeting. We were really depressed because of something in Noelle's life, and I was asked about homophobia and gave some sort of bizarre response. Eventually it led into this long conversation, involving me drawing all over Ms. Yarber's board. Hrrumph. So I blurted it all out. I'm sure no one believed me, and I was surprised Mr. Rhodes didn't call one of my parents. I guess it is a bit of an outlandish story, but to the best of my knowledge, it's true. I know Kris tried to verify it and was successful (if you can call it that) and I do trust Kris, whom I consider almost a second mother. If you don't know the story of Amanda, it is quite depressing, and I've been depressed ever since we talked about it Wednesday afternoon. So, uh, la la la. It was half a bag of candy, Wednesday was. Half a jumbo bag of candy. I'm going to be so fat.

My computer seems to be working well. I finished the really hard program for Computer Science. It wasn't really too hard at all. I even enjoyed it a bit. I need to type up some Ids for our history study group, and do the dishes, and do all my other work, so I'd better go. Until tomorrow..

Good morning!

I'm in such a good mood, despite still being sick. I'm going riding, then I'm coming back and baking cookies. Goodie cookies! (I've been watching the Sailor Moon SS movie, and it sounds like they say "goodie cookies" a lot. It's stuck.) I'm making them for my French fable presentation tomorrow. I play the cicada in the dramatization, and explain the moral in modern prose. It's not too bad.

I ditched our last GSA meeting, partially because I was busy and partially because I was scared. You see, there's thirteen not-homosexual-friendly guys in my class at seven in the morning and then there's little old me. C'est tout! So I was alarmingly scared. And am still alarmingly scared. But…I'll get over it. I just have to wait for another attack of guts *grin*

At the homecoming pep rally (which was very bad, by the way) I sang the hymn of praise with some other people from Chamber Choir because the Madrigals were at festival. It would have been good except that I was the only one singing into a microphone, so I was loudest - and I sing a harmony! Oops. It wasn't my fault. But I think they tried to balance the mikes, so it wasn't too bad.

I need to go get ready for riding now. Then bake goody cookies!!! (hehe)

Woke up this morning on the right side of my bed..with all these crazy thoughts screaming through my head..I can't wait to see what this world holds for me..oh, it's a new day.

Tee hee. I'm in a good mood. Everyone liked my cookies. I wish I had made more! Maybe next time I have a spare moment, I'll make some more. I did have a lot of fun making them..

I was completely unprepared for my history test today. Well, maybe not COMPLETELY. I did study, but I wish I'd studied harder. The only ones I'm really worried about are the multiple choice, since I feel confident about my IDs and my essay. It's all good and well, though, because I'm sure I passed. Our fable project went well, considering we had only five or so minutes to complete it. I had fun being a cicada. Really.

I'm going to play Tangleword now. Hasta!

Sometimes, I think you need someone special. I've never had someone special. There are many people whom I think could be that someone special. Like...this guy. He's not the cutest guy I've ever seen, but he radiates niceness. If only he didn't live nearly two hours away... *frown* But his grandmother lives here...

I also received a note from someone quite unexpected. I thought it was someone from my history class yelling at me for not having done my IDs. Oops. It was an alarmingly interesting note, but I will spare you the details. We found a house we like a lot in LB, and I'd really like to live there. Not at some of the other potential houses.

love n' hugs, Rosie
