im in a good mood

i really am. i know it feels wrong for me to be in a good mood right now, but i can't help it. it's just so many things that make me feel alright right now.

yesterday my dad asked kelsie's mom to pick me up, and about an hour after we got to her house, we decided to go the the fitness funfest at school. of course, my neck is severely hurting today from the bungee run, but it was fun.jw and sammy were there, and they made me laugh.

today i skipped out of school, because darned if i don't want to sit in a classroom with a bunch of burnouts who didn't show up for standardized testing while everyone else had sundaes. so i stayed home, and woke up at 7:30 (which is an improvement, really). i swept the floors like my mom asked me to, took a shower, watched In America and a little bit of Anchorman, and then realized that i wanted to clean. i asked myself, "what's the dirstiest room in this house?" so when i went to chance's room, i brought a queen cd and some pink floyd and listened to each as loud as i wanted to while cleaning his breeding ground for germs. i kid tyou not, i saw three cockroaches in that room. and my hands were all sticky for the food and drinks he keeps down there. then i sat and read my v.c. andrews book while flipping through channels, watched some I Love the 80s (at least it wasn't Best Week Ever).

and later tonight, we're eating pizza. it feels so good to just not be at school with people crying and talking about tory. it's nice to take a break into my own little world, with my loud music and obsessive cleaning (i haven't even told you about organizing my cds by genre the other day...)

see, i appreciate these years of my life, because i know i probably won't get much of a chance to do this when i'm older. i remember one time, we were at my grandmother's house with my aunt, and my mom was so proud that she had finished all of the laundry. my grandma and aunt just applauded her and congratulated her. i don't want that. i don't need that to be the only good thing in my life.

and i won't have it. but i will have my mom's pink floyd cd. oh yes. it will be mine...

I skipped too :) Only, I didn't skip, I really was sick. You can cannot believe (maybe hillary can) how GOOD it felt to be released from the stress of school one day earlier. I mean really, last week was one of the most stressful weeks ever, with CRCT and everything else... and screw the sundaes, Dad made some later when we watched spiderman
I didn't watch all of it, because I had to finish reading homework, but the parts that i saw were alright
one last thing- if I organized my CDs based on genre, they'd all be in the same order :)
