Day 3 - No Facebook.

Its starting to get difficult. Its not just the boredom thats killing me over here, its the thought that what if someone needs to get ahold of me for an event or something, or important information and don't have my email or phone number? I feel like I am kind of disconnected from the rest of the world... Anyways.

Today, without Facebook, I did:

Spent the morning with my friend Kaitlin
Spent the afternoon with my friend Maya
Practiced guitar
Skyped a lot
Took a shower
Watched Moonstruck
Caught a mouse (ick!)
Got invited to a party

And now I am blogging. So what a jam-packed day! All facebook free! Its so nice, even though its difficult not to stray to it.

I'm really proud! I had a bad addiction to it! Its easy to stay away from Facebook if you are camping, or away from civilization and electronics for awhile, but, when you are just sitting at home, bored to tears, and your computer is just sitting there, its REALLY difficult. But quite satisfying knowing another day has gone by and I didn't get on! I encourage other people to try this challenge!

Josephine!!!

Josephines here! She is the foriegn exchange student that we are hosting for 3 weeks! She came on sunday night and just to let you know, shes AMAZING! Her accent is brilliant, and she speaks very good english! In P.E class today, we were playing Badmitton, and she was REALLY good! And then I was also playing with Riley, Micaela, and Nicole too, and we were laughing a lot! And now Micaela and I, well we are always battling to see who can get out first, since we are playing it rotatingly. Ohh, good word... :D But it was the best P.E class ever! My foot hurt really bad from doing some radical ninja moves down 7 stairs last week, and it still hurts and I might have to go to the doctor! MEH! But I was able to get around my foot and still have a great time! Best class ever! Besides theater arts. Thats a prettttty great class due to the awesome people that are in it! (And their nose blowing dancers... cough cough... you know who you are!!!) WOOT OWOT! But sadly I only have 2 good classes out of all 6 of them. The stupid classes are Math (GAG! Thanks Maya and Annie for rescuing me!!!) and Science, which can be fun, but it depends on the experiment. And then I have history, and there are some fun people in that class (Thea, Hayley, and Maya!!) and we all have a great time calling my History teacher who just grew a beard, "Beardy, Ryan from the Office, or Dundledort, which he thought was Voldemort cause we called him that once too, but he mixed Dumbledore and Voldemort together. I quite like the name Dundledort! Its fun to say! Hahahaha! YAY! Five more minutes of class! Oh yeah, and I have stupid Freshman Acadamy too! Oh YAY, lets learn about TYPING! My FAVORITE subject. Shoot me. This friday the whole lot of my friends and I and Josephine are all going Roller Blading and I am really excited too! Although I will probably fall on my rear a lot. I'll just wear a pillow maybe. Unless Freddy comes. Then I wont. But I don't think he is coming. Loser. Probably scared he will fall on HIS rear. That'd be great. HA. HA. HA. And then Wednesday, we are all coming back to my house then going to the Mr. Thunder pagent, and I am realllly excited for that because I saw the boys dance at the Battle of the Sexes assembly. Ohhh and I had the most amazing conversation via texting with my great friend Kaitlin. I would just call that texting conversation, "Experimentation." If only you could see those texts. I was gonna die laughing. And we were on opposite sides of town. AHHAAHHA.

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter everyone! It's gonna be a great day! And later tonight, Josephine, our French exchange student comes! We are gonna pick her up at the Redmond airport at 9:00!! I am so excited! She is staying for 3 weeks and it gonna be totally awesome! She will shadow me in all my classes and so everything with me! It's going to be so fun!
So two nights ago was the 80's dande at Summit, and it was soooo fun! I got ready with my amaaaazing friends Kaitlin and Maya at my house and then aye cheese fondue followed by chocolate fondue! Then we went to the dance and met up with Annie, Coleman, Rae, Leigha, and Hannah! It was so great! Even though Kaitlin(NEWBIE!!) and Hannah won! Uhg! I came in 3rd and Annie was 4th. It was really funny! Haha! Then after the dance most of is went to Hannah's house for a big fun slumber party, but then we all went upstairs to go to bed, and I got there last, and Hannah already got the top bunk, and Annie and Kaitlin got the bottom, so I decided that I would just sleep on the edge of the bottom bunk at the foot of the bed. But then there was no more blankets so I pulled up a fuzzy rug and covered myself with it but it was small and I had to scrunch up. Then Kaitlin and Annie couldn't stretch their legs out so Annie went to the top bunk with Hannah and I moved to annies spit and we were all good! Oh and at the dance we had the most amazing dance moves for the song TiK ToK! It was preeetyy great! And now it's Easter and this weekend has rocked! Woot owot!

A LOT have fun has just hit me SQUARE in the face.

So, after we moved to Bend, it was really, REALLY hard to make friends, so then one day, I met a girl named Elle Moore. That was GREAT! She introduced me to her friend Kenzie. Kenzie and I had drama together. That was great. So then there were two other girls that were friends with Kenzie that were also in my Drama class. One of them I had kinda met before, her name was Annie (Psssttt... I don't like code names. I always mess up and forget... heh heh...) and then I also met Maya. Now, this was a good choice in friends, because I could not stop laughing after I met them. Now, they had this huge group of friends that I met from them. So now, I don't sit alone at lunch anymore, and I spend all of lunch discussing Harry Potter, laughing, and its SO fun!! So now, I usually eat with Annie, Kaitlin, Riley, Coleman, Sarah, Hannah, sometimes Maya, hmmm I feel like I'm missing someone.. But maybe I am not. But if I am then I will feel bad.. GAH!! But I am really excited for tomorrow night because we are having a movie night! WOOOOTT!! We are going to watch 50 First Dates. I have never seen it before I don't think. But maybe I have heard of it. Right now I am sitting in my Freshman Acadamy class. Basically, thats a class where you feel like shooting yourself. I should be typing on Microsoft Publisher right now, but hey, we only have like 27 minutes left of class and there is SO much extra room on my brochure. Plus I am almost done. I hate Microsoft. They make boring programs. I like Frame By Frame. Thats a FUN app. Ha ha ha, wait, you don't read my blog to hear me complain. I will stop now. But, trust me, you would want to shoot yourself. I am only getting away with typing this right now because my back pack is hiding the screen, and I am typing fast so it seems like I am typing on my brochure. Which is mostly done. :D Well, this is better than history class! Also GUESS WHAT. My math teacher told me the other day that he entered me into a math competition, and I really wanna win a prize, but I really dont wanna take a timed math test on Wednesday because to me, that just doesnt sound like a load of fun. In fact, it sounds about as fun as pooping your pants. Now THAT doesn't sound like fun does it? So I am debating on doing it. I know that if I do, I get to miss a full day of school, but I do and don't want to do that. I mean, now that I have some friends here (That are by the way, kinda the BOMB!!) I don't really want to miss out on school, but I do want to miss History, Science, Math, Frosh Acadamy, P.E... wait no, FREDDY! AHHAHAHAHA. Oh and I don't want to miss out on Drama. Because Annie and I draw some PRETTTTTTY radical pictures on there. WHAT IS THIS RUMPUS!! Oh yeahhh..

The Latest.. Evil Scheme...

It was a beautiful day in sunny McMinville. I had two lovely friends over, Danii and Zach. We were desperatly wanting to pull a prank. We racked our brains for every possible idea. Eventually, we formulated a plan... with the help of my mom... Remember that story of all the E's we took? Well, we saved all of them. And that was a lot. A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a teachers house. Well, what do you do with that. You can't just let it be! You have to do something about it. Prank 'em. You have to prank 'em. So when you realize that their mailbox is just sitting there, and you know THEY know about you "E" stealing, then you've got something there. We got all our E's, and some masking tape, and you get them, and get them good. The three of us left on a late Monday afternoon, with our "E's", our tape, and our devilish minds.

When we got there, we sat across the street and rolled tape, and stuck it to the back of those E's. Then we stealthily and inconspicuously crossed the street. And stuck them ALL over the mailbox. Unnoticed. No attention was called to us, and we left without being seen. I knew those E's would come in handy sooner or later...

A Year In Review.

Today was the last day of school. I don't know why it is over. But it is. What a great year. There is no good reason for it to be over. I want to cry, but I can't. So much fun. Here is the year in one full sentance. Enjoy.

Creation of the Odd Squad, "BOH!" signal recognized by people, 61 "E's" stolen, one teachers ceiling forked, same teachers desk paperized (go Miss Gradek!!), faked British accents for subsm controled classroom TV's with a tiny universal remote, got sent to the BLACK CHAIRS three time, detention twice, ate a lot of wierd food for cookies and snack mixes, chose a favorite teacher, got inspired to do tennis, got inspired altogether, successfully wrote 8 page long letters in handwriting as big as this font, sprained my ankle, maybe fractured on the last day of school, sat out during the Fling kind of, soaked Miss Gradek, went to oaks park, didn't throw up, barely matured, shrinked my handwriting, got better at art, avoided Mrs. Boggs but wrote her a nice letter in the end, got disqualified from the peace poster contest for being to old, got peace poster grand reviews by the best artist ever, got it framed, got glasses, got a boyfriend, circle of friends doubled in size, didn't move to Bend, graduated 8th Grade, got straight A's for the first time ever, watched Napoleon Dynamite, dressed like Deb for school, spilled chocolate milk all over my Deb costume and had to wear a friends way to big clothes for the day, got five bingos, got sour stuff in my eyes, got perfume on Zach, got yelled at, got scolded, made friends with Miss DeTurk, became an official Odd Squad Prezident, shaped up my behaivior in P.E. wrote this long, long sentence, got a myspace, got a facebook, facebook turned out much better, went on a first date, fell in love with the Original Star Trek series, and became a freshman.

I would call that an accomplishment.

I seem to have lost my MARBLES...

I recently remembered this prank I played on my friend Zach during the first quarter of school. Marbles went everywhere!

What we did was take a dixie cup and cut out the bottom. Lucky for us we knew his locker combo.. So, we put the dixie cup without a bottom in his locker and filled it with marbles. When he opened his locker, he saw the cup there. Out of instinct, he picked the cup up... and marbles went EVERYWHERE! We were lucky enough to not be there when it happened so we went around completely innocent! Ha! Mr. Evil Grump.. well, I'm sick of using that name.. Mr. Leaver didn't yet know the brilliant schemes of the Odd Squad so we were left untraceable! Now if we were to do that, we would be questioned and probably found guilty. Oh well! It was so much fun to walk by and see marbles scattered all around the 8th grade wing floor!

Framed!

After stealing E's, and having nearly the whole 8th grade know about it, I guess someone got the idea that they would get US. Maybe it wasn't on purpose, maybe it was, but 3 E's went missing and immeadiatly they thought"Kate and Danii..."

So Danii and I were pulled aside by Mr. Handy Man and asked if we knew anything about the E's going missing. I told him no I didn't and I think HE thinks that it is us. I don't know. But he said we have to be "detectives" and find out who is taking the E's.

Now, when an adult talks to you like that, in a barely noticable bit of sarcasm, you know that they think YOU are the one. So lately, I have been avoiding him so that he doesn't ask me about my detective work. I think that if he asks ONE MORE TIME, I am just going to say,"Sorry, I can't tell you. This is TOP SECRET detective work!

Stealing those "E's!"

Danii and I's favorite prank was one that was done for a quarter of the school year. you know those cut out paper letter "E's" that you usually find on bulletin boards? Well Danii and I spent a quarter of the school year stealing those off of all the bulletin boards. We set a goal for ourselves to get 50 E's. And we worked very hard to achieve this goal. Only one teacher knew about this. Miss. Favorite Teacher. She is SO cool. We are able to hang out in her room every morning and get away from the insanity of middle school. So anyways, she was the only teacher who knew about this and she was GREAT at keeping it secret! This being our 8th grade year and with me moving 3 hours away at the end of the year, we wanted to make this year the most memorable.

It all started when Danii saw a little E just hanging off the bulletin board and she just kinda tore it off. I don't know why this was so funny, but it was. So I took one too. This is what started it all. eventually, once I had 13 E's and Danii had 23, teachers started to get suspicious. Let me introduce two new characters.
Mrs. Detention Lady and
Mr. Handy Man

I was in Gym class when I realized that I forgot my gym clothes in my locker. So I asked my gym teacher and I went back to my locker. As I was heading back, I was called over by Mr. Handy Man. He pointed to my sweatshirt that said "Young Life" on it. Actually, he pointed right to the letter E in the word life and said, "do you know anything that has to do with that letter?"

I knew I had to tell the truth. I'm just that kind of person. So I slowly squeezed the truth out.
"What do you mean" I said
Then Mr. handy Man said, "Well, me and a lot of other staff have noticed E's going missing"
"Oh, thaaaaat.... ya see, it all started when..." and I told him the story.
"Well, Mrs. Detention Lady and I have decided to give you and Danii a detention."

Well, Danii and I had made a goal earlier in the school year that we WOULD both get a detention together, because surprisingly enough, we NEVER have.

So when I told Danii that she got herself a long awaited detention, she jumped about two feet in the air and screamed!

Someone was a little excited...

So when we attended our little lunch detention, we were in for a big surprise. Mrs. Detention lady had us cut out E's. But the unusual part was that we were allowed to KEEP the E's! So after our little detention, we decided to take NO MORE E's.

Danii, on the other hand, loved taking them so much and she couldn't resist. POP. There goes the pretty white laminated one!
