Piano Lessons @ MindSay

So this weekend was amazing:) Well..that is if you minus Friday (go to my last blog). But seriously it was alot of fun. On saturday i got up and first went to piano lessons. Infact that was my last lesson till september:) (Now don't get me wrong, i like piano, but a break is always nice:)) Afterwards I went over to Kara's house and i got to sleep over there. Lots of fun:) I had a huge tickle fight (Im being literal here, it WAS a tickle fight:P) with Nigel..it went on for hours lol:P I only got 3 hours of sleep that night, but i made up for it on sunday cause i actually fell asleep at 8pm:P Monday was my last exam (science). It went well. It only took my the hour to do, which is surprising cause i never have had an exam that took me that short of time to do. However, Kyle had a math exam that same day and he finsihed in 15 minutes :| Apparently it was really easy (i guess it would of had to been if it took him that long:P) lol. As for the last few days ive just been hanging out with friends and volunteering and whatnot:)

So in other news it officially summer for me:D:D Im so glad..im finally away from all of those people who i really don't want to talk to. The summer has already started and its been better than any summer so far:) I finally have a group of friends who i can trust and who werew all really close with. Ive NEVER had this kind of a group before, and im SO happy i finally do. They are truely amazing:) Even with the depression I have right now, just being with them everyday really does make me so much happier (but i still do have depression, dont get me wrong, its just when im with them i dont feel it).:) But because ive been hanging out with them like EVERYDAY i don't think ill be blogging as much as i thought i would this summer, but i still will blog. I will probably blog every 4 or 5 days to a week or so, just to keep you guys updated. Well anwyays thats all for now, byebye!

I know i havent blogged since thursday but i havent been in the mood lol:P But things are going good:) yesterday i hung out with jessica (we went to the boys & girls club and later went to the store and i got my christmas gift stuff (instead of candy necklaces i got gum cause i went to a diff store than i wnated to and the candy necklaces there were too expensive for me..85cents intead of the 25 i thought they were:|(i also got mars bars and more expensive gum cause jess wnated it, but i am also getting here sumthing eles to:P) and we also got some jones cream soda..they come in glass bottles so it looks like alcohol lol:P But dont worry, i dont drink lol:P But anwyays, today i didnt really do anything sept go to piano lessons (got the songs i was having trouble on perfect:)) and watched mean girls for the first time (im the only girl i know that hasnt seen it b4, and i just saw it for the first time!!:P) and i honesly really liked it:) But it stirs up an interesting topic, which i must discuss below...

Anyways, i havent actually done a "serious blog"(as i like to call it:P) in a long time..since November 20th. And i figure its about time i do another one. The subject: cliques and Gossiping. Ill start with gossiping: everybody does it. Everyone. Have u ever said to someone "o i hate ______ shes a stoner/ shes a bitch/ shes a whore?" u can deny it all u want but i bet u have..about teachers, about other kids, about ur parents...whoever. Uve done it before and so have i. But u gotta admit, there are thin lines btween diff. things. Like for instance, if someone says something about u, ur friend or boyfriend/girlfriend, and u tell someone about it, the way u tell someone it can be taken as 1.talking about y ur mad 2. gossiping 3. trying to get alot of people to hate that person. It all depends on how u say it. If u say "omg that whore______ is F***ING bitch shes F***ing spreading rumours about me!!" then obviously ur not the only victim in that situation..so is the person thst ur talking about to. So u just gotta think about how u say things..if u wooda said "omg sumone (and u dont mention names) s spreading rumours about me:| " then thats not bad. But i guess u cant always avoid that kinda stuff. Eventually somethings going to come out. But i guess u just gotta make sure its not sumthing u cant undo. So my point is always think b4 u say stuff..cause it could come back on u.

Now onto cliques. In mean girls they had a whole bunch of cliques. the main one: the "plastics"..which were a bunch of popular mean girls who everbody hates yet looks up to (weird huh?). In highschool the main cliques are:

Emo/goths

Popular

Geeks

Stoners

Sluts

Preps

Jocks

Stalkers

Kids who get aressted

Kids in bands

Alot people belong 2 more than 1 group. Once i get my hair died and go shopping next weekend, i know im going to be officially into the "emo/goth" category, because my hair is going to be black+red and i only like dark clothes. But im kinda also in the "geek" section to, because im good at, and like school. The really odd thing though is that i have friends in almost every single category. But my question is: y are labels so important?? Honestly, in 10 years everyones going to go differnet ways and labels will be a thing of the past. Some of your friends u have now u mite not even be talking to them. I guess cliques are a teenage thing, and i guess thats y growing up can be so hard at times, but u just gotta always remeber to do the right thing...

So yea lol i guess thats the end of that disscussion. I just thought it needed to be said, but regardless, tomorrow morning im going to wake up and say to myslef "y did i write this?? people are going to think im a weird loser:|" lol. But o well. Its one of those things i think about and keep in mind at all time. In fact just b4 i started righting this blog i signed onto msn and someone said to me that someone (who i am very close to) was dirty (but no offence this person said!!). I could of taken this situation several different ways..i coulda bitched at this person and told sumone eles, ignored this person and told sumone eles, etc. I decided to block this person because i honestly am trying to completly shut him/her outta my life. he/she has done some cruel things to me in the past and ive been trying to forget those things but obviously things arent going to change and im not going to put up with it. I also decided to not tell anyone on msn, or use this persons name in this blog because then i cannot be blammed for spreading rumours about him/her. so yea.

Just thought i mite say sumthing about that.

After a month of roving the arizona desert--or golf courses, rather--my grandparents have returned!  And I've missed them immensely.  In fact the one drawback to the whole Japan adventure is that I'll be missing their 50th wedding anniversary celebration, that's the one thing that I regret as of yet . . . Anyways, I've missed them, and they're home, and they brought me a Chicago piano book!  I am very excited, and I've staked out my next song (because All That Jazz is pretty much polished save the last page, not that it wasn't a heck of struggle to get it to that point).  I've picked this one for reasons I'm not quite sure of, but it'll be fun.

and that's good
isn't it grand?
isn't it great?
isn't it swell?
isn't it fun?
isn't it, nowadays?

there's men everywhere
jazz everywhere
booze everywhere
life everywhere
joy everywhere, nowadays.

You can like the life you're livin',
You can live the life you like.
You can even marry Harry
But mess around with Ike.
And that's good, isn't it?
Grand, isn't it?
Great, isn't it?
Swell, isn't it?
Fun, isn't it?
But nothing stays...
