Careful - Guster |
] |
Senior year has begun. I'm actually pretty optimistic about everything. Today was overall a pretty good day. I'm happy with my schedule (for the most part), and the people in my classes. Highlights for the day include...
- Orchestra with the boy. Why is it that I always have crushes on guys in my orchestra class? Like I swear every year there's been one. Its great though, cause Stephen like attacked me when he saw we had the same period. I was kind of fearing for my life, but at the same time bursting with elation. Hehe. He invited me to go to the braves game on Thursday. I hope I can!
- Legend! Legend is going to be so nifty. I get to be the features Section Editor :) I like most of the people in that class, and I have a feeling its not going to be super hard.
- Psychology is going to be the shit. The teacher is hilarious. He's one of those people who doesn't have to try to be funny he just is. I love it.
I'm kind of disappointed with my lunch and the fact that I have no classes with a lot of my really good friends, but I have a feeling its not going to matter. I'll still keep in touch with all them, and hopefully make lots of new friends and learn lots of new things. I am being VERY optimistic about senior year.

So I am a terrible person. Let me explain. This guy, Karl, I used ot date him (when I say used to date him I mean like 2 years ago). We weren't very serious. He was my first REAL boyfriend, and I was pretty much went out with him cause he's WAY hott (see here), and I liked making out/other perks of having a boyfriend. We broke up, because I got kind of annoyed with him and he lied to me a lot. Not cool. Anyways, he has this great habit of getting back together with exes or atleast continuing to be obsessed with them, and I'm not an exception with that trait. He's recently started texting and calling me again, and I'm too nice to ignore him and tell him I'm not interested. I mean, I kind of like the attention, and I could always use a nice hook up. I feel really bad, especially since I like someone else... a lot more, but until something better comes along, I suppose I'll be nice to Karl. Oh, and he just broke up with a good friend. I forgot to mention that. I am going to rot in hell.
Moving on. Where has the time gone? School starts in like 2 days. I am soo not happy. I mean, senior year will be super awesome, I'm just not ready for the whole work load. Here's my lovely schedule.
- AP Lit - This one is with the crazy Tracy Anderson. I mean she's a really cool lady, just a bit stuck up and assigns weird ass projects. Exciting news though, its first period, and SHE'S GONNA HAVE A COFFEE MAKER IN HER CLASSROOM! YES! Too bad I'm going to have to write 80 million essays.
- AP Econ - This class is kind of a joke. The teacher is a Vietnam War Vet. who tells bad jokes, and doesn't actually teach. Woo.
- AP Psych - Too bad I can't spell that word. I'm really excited for this class. The teacher is a really interesting dude, and its a fun subject.
- Orchestra - I fully expect my teacher to let me never play, and just goof off. I mean I am a senior.
- Legend - (aka our school's newspaper) This will be my first year on the staff, and it should be fun. We get to go off campus for lunch once a week, and the work load isn't that bad.
- Intro to Tech - We had to have a tech class to graduate. End of story.
- AP AB Calc - I'm not badass enough for BC, but I'm still pumped. The teacher loved my older brother. SWEETNESS.
So this year should be... fun? I dunno. You tell me.
My last couple weeks of summer have been relaxing. Right now I'm in Martinsville visiting family on a really really slow computer. Its g. Though.

What a good day. I don't really know where to start. It was just I dunno satisfying. Maybe it's because yesterday was pretty crappy, and so pretty much anything following it would be good. I'll explain.
Yesterday was not good because....
- I found out I am not going to the Ben Folds/John Mayer/James Morrison concert. I was only pissed because it was my idea to go in the first place and my friends pretty much ditched me. I was kind of overreacting, but I pretty much sulked about it the whole day.
- I got a freaking flat tire! It was awful. I was driving my mom to her friends house because her car is in the shop (getting new tires actually), and BAM my car started acting weird. I pulled over and what'd ya know. I had a flat. It took like 2 hours to fix, half my school drove past me, and I got eaten alive by bugs.
- I ended staying home all day. Not fun.
- I did however go on a run, and whilst I felt like crap the whole time it was nice knowing I can still do it if I want. I actually almost passed out in the shower. Eeeek.
Today was good because...
- Mandolin lesson! I learned how to play a Haley Dykes song. Her voice is amazing, and ahh I just love her. It was kind of embarrassing though cause I suck at mandolin. Whatever.
- Jason Mraz! I finally got a version of his song I'm Yours, and I can't stop listening to it. It's wonderful.
- Braves game! I went with my church group and ran into about a million kids I haven't seen all summer, including a kind of forgotten crush. Yay.
- I started reading Princess Diaries again. I forgot how much I loved that book. TOo bad I still have oodles of summer reading to do. Hah.
There you have it.

I LOVE KAT!
Notice a new layout? I was so bored/felt like graphic making today. I was having trouble coding, but Katalina came to the rescue and saved my butt. Goodness I do love her. I hope the color scheme is ok. I was having trouble making it not too blue.
Anyhoo, not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. I finished Harry Potter (and cried my eyes out). I loved the book, but I kind of wish it had ended differently. It was almost too sappy for me. Not complaining though. J.K. Rowling always writes everything so well.
Yesterday I saw HAIRSPRAY! Oh my goodness Zac Efron is HOT! I spent the whole moving drooling over him. I mean, the movie was so cute, but like Zac Efron made it delicious. I wish the boys I know were that attractive and good at singing. Mmm, life is not fair.
I really don't have a lot to say, just wanted to show off the new layout, and THANK KAT!!!!
Toodles.

I can't believe summer is almost over. Less than three weeks and I will be thrown back into the crazy school life. I also cannot believe I am going to be a senior. I get goose bumps whenever I think about it. I don't really know if I'm ready to move on with my life. As much as I let on that I hate high school there are some good parts that I don't want to leave behind -- good people, good memories, etc. Watching some of my close senior friends graduate was quite emotional, and I just can't myself in their position. Whatever, it will come.
The past few weeks have been pretty much amazing. I went to Lake Lure with my family (and a good friend). I love going up to the mountains, and just getting away from everyday life and stupid problems. We got a chance to go tubing (SO MUCH FUN), paddle boat, tan, read, and watch lots of mythbusters and cash cab.
As soon as I got home, I was whisked away to Montreat. This year's conference was especially meaningful for me. I had a great small group, the preacher was nothing less than amazing, and I couldn't ask for a better youth group. There were many tears shed when the week was over.
<3 <3 <3 <3
I made some new icons (finally) with a trial version of photoshop elements. Hopefully I can get the real thing asap. I forgot how fun graphics are. Yay.
I need to go do something slightly productive. Toodles.

Other good news, I got the coolest new phone. It's black and flippy and lovely, and ahh its the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Wow has summer been interesting. I just got home from a pretty amazing mission trip to Bluefield West Virginia. I spent a very structured week cleaning out an old high school, painting, visiting with old folks, and meeting some pretty cool new people. I didn't really expect to get as much out of the experience as I did, but I was really sad to leave. The night before our church group had our final devotional, and there was not a dry eye in the group. It was pretty amazing.
I think I have finally gotten over my guy. He has a new uhh icky girlfriend, but I've realized I'm not angry because its not me. I'm more mad because I just don't like the girl. I care about him as a friend, and it pains me to see him with such a disgusting person. She's manipulative, and just all around not so great on the inside. Hopefully, he'll realize this, but I can't do anything about it. We'll just stay good friends like I knew we'd always be. Whatever.
I need to go practice my mandolin and cello. Laters.

I am obsessed with last.fm Actually obsessed. I've been on it the whole afternoon. I was too tired to really go out, so I've just been sitting on it, adding tracks, trying to get friends, and neighbors. Add me if you're a member and join if you aren't. It's oddly addicting.
Tour was tour. Parts of it were breathtaking, other parts made me want to die. I think I'm in love with a rising 11th grader. He has quite possibly the most beautiful voice, he's adorable, and he's super nice. Like seriously, how often do boys like that come along. Unfortunately he goes to a different school, and he's a year younger than me. Whatever, I can still hope. :D But here are some pictures to look at. The sunsets in Key West were breath taking.

HANNAH MONTANA |

I. Love. Hannah. Montana. I hate to admit it but I really do. She's pretty much my idol. I just got my friend to get her little sister to burn me her CD. Its pretty much the best thing ever. Well maybe not the best thing, but it's still pretty dern amazing. It makes me happy, and it makes me think of summer, which by the way HAS ARRIVED! Oh goodness me its been great. Actually, the fact that it is summer hasn't sunk in completely, but the whole no school deal, and being able to go down to the pool and sunbathe for hours is quite wonderful. My skin is no darker, despite the fact I have been to the pool quite a bit, but I'm not complaining.
Tour rehearsals have started. I think I'm going to to kill all the little ones before we even leave next week. THEY CAN BE SO ANNOYING! Urgh. But tour should be fun. Hopefully Thomas will come hear us sing, and then confess his undying love for me. Muah. A girl can always dream ;D
I think I'll go practice mandolin/cello (not sure which one). Toodles.

Goodness I love food. This weekend I participated in the 30 hour famine. Holy crapola not eating for 30 hours is not fun. At first it was okay, but the last few hours were painful, and THEN I stuffed myself at my first meal and was uncomfortable for like the next four hours. Big fun, I know. But, yeah, I could never ever ever be anorexic. Like I was so tired and weak the whole day. Not as bad as giving blood. PLUS, food is so fun. I mean it made me realize I eat a lot for pleasure throughout the day (thank god for exercise, otherwise I'd be so fat right now).
I'm having problems with one friend. She's being a bit, actually take that back -- she's being a huge bitch to two of my very good friends. I would get mad at her, but she was there for me last semester when I had like zero people to hang out with, and she's always been pretty nice to me. I don't really know what do, because like the stuff she saying and the way she acting towards my two pals is not cool. Augh.
I'm so tired. I got like 3 hours of sleep last night. Not cool.

This Boy - James Morrison |
] |
Oh how I love white boys that sound black (aka James Morrison). He's amazing. Go look him up now!
This week has been interesting. I gave blood last Tuesday, and oh boy was that fun. I missed like 3 hours worth of class because:
a.) my blood did not want to be donated. It took 45 minutes to collect a pint from me.
b.) I passed out, so they held me hostage in the blood donating bus. I got to witness about fifty other people give blood and not pass out. It was great.
I finally went back to class, but I was so dead and on the brink of passing out for the remainder of the day. It's going to be awhile before I do that again.
Last night I went, "Gnome Gnapping." It was so silly. Five of us drove around Atlanta with a garden gnome (that we 'kidnapped' hence the gnapping) taking pictures with it. It was soooo silly. We got yelled at a few times, but overall the endeavor was a successful one, especially considering the GUY I was with (no names. I promised myself I wouldn't mention his name. I am not obsessed).
I have dance tonight. Soooo pumped. We're dancing to this fun salsa-y spanish song. It's ahhh-mazing :D

Ode to a Butterfly - Nickel Creek |

I hate school... a lot. Only 7 weeks left. Sweetness, I know.
So Easter was pretty fun. I can finally eat chocolate without feeling tooo guilty (I'm going to try to cut back though. Too much chocolate + Maggie = fat xD). Everyone looked so cute at church (myself included). It was kind of nippy though. I had to wear a long sleeved shirt under my easter dress. Not cool. I still looked adorable. After church, the fam piled into my mom's car and we drove to my uncle and aunt's for a DELICIOUS easter lunch. I didn't feel like I ate a lot, but I was so full, and I pretty much passed out on the couch while everyone else watched the masters. Big fun. Once back home, I dove into my oh-so-fun problem set (not). I still have an essay to write, a cello to practice, and a bike to ride. Hmm, maybe I should get off the computer?
No news on the boy. I mean, whatever. He's still sending me mixed signals out the wazoo. The End.

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?! [insert teen angst here] Seriously though, whenever I get kind of confident about anything, it all just comes back and slaps me in the face. I'm doubting his affections once again. Maybe it's cause he spent a whole week at the beach with a girl who's known to make EVERYONE like her. Seriously, she always steals the guys I like. Well kind of. It's hard to explain. I'm hoping I'm just being paranoid. I just needed to get that out.
Other news, this break is so boring. I bought a ton of clothes yesterday <3 Woo. I'm so spoiled. No joke. Oh, and I found a bunch of my old cds. Yay.

I never realized how boring a break from school could be until now. I can count my friends who stayed in town on my hands. It's crazy! I have nothing to do during the day but practice my cello and mandolin and clean. That's right, I HAVE A MANDOLIN! Hah. I got it for my birthday. I'm quite in love with it. It's so beautiful. It's honey colored and named Lucy <333
So the whole boy situation is better than it was... I guess? We hang out just about every weekend, but nothing noteworthy has happened. Every now and then I think we're going to hold hands or kiss or something, but we don't. It's actually rather frustrating. TIME IS RUNNING OUT! But the good news is, he IS going to give me mandolin lessons. Cute, I know?
Things are looking up immensely from earlier this year. School hasn't gotten any easier, but my social life has. A new group of girls has embraced me, and god I'm so thankful for them. They're fun, nice, and SOBER! I love it.
Lover boy gets back in town on Thursday. I'm pumped. Until then I will continue to fill my days with cleaning, AP Chem, and practicing.

Stuck in the Middle with You - Stealers Wheel |

It begins again.I hate it sooo sooo much (school that is). I was so tired the whole day, I came home and took like a two hour nap. I forgot how much I actually hate it. I have like one class I semi look foward to, because of a boy. I know, my life is so fufilling. Hah. I had to bring home like 8 text books today, not because of homework, but because I keep like half my books at home so my locker is less crowded. At the moment, I have like locker buddies in the double digits. The hall that my locker is on is being gutted and getting new AC, so I'm sharing with Despina (<33333) along with Pete, Ilana, Frances, Carolyn, and many others. It's ridiculous.
My church basketball team had it's first game today. It was awesome. We lost 20-24, but it was still fun. The other team was huge, as in the players were massive. I felt so tiny and helpless. I almost scored... key word almost.
So I told this ONE girl who I liked, and she has a big mouth and told like everyone. I don't actually mind, because it's nice having people know who you like, but now I'll be even more disapointed when it doesn't work out. Booo.
Must go shower. I smell.

I'm going mad, I swear. Story of my life. I mean, I think I over-analyze things and doubt myself too much. This boy is making me crazy. I can't stop thinking about him. Like I really really can't. Right now I'm listening to his cd, I can't stay away from his myspace/facebook for more than a few hours, and he's always running through my mind. If I truely believed in karma, I'd say this was punishment for me being the biggest douche bag/dickwad to him this summer. I really hate myself for doing it, especially now. He's really everything I could ask for. Talented, believes in god, respectful, nice to look at, and he's there. I mean, ERGH! Maybe seeing him in person at school again will help me. I dunno. As you can see, I'm not joking when I say I'm crazy for this guy.
I really want to find my copy of photoshop elements. I was so good with it, and I miss making graphics. It was fun, and satisfying. Plus this layout suck, and I need more picture things. BLeh.
This break has been pretty okay actually. I got a good dosage of all my friends, had a good Christmas, and well yeah. The whole getting sick part was not cool though. Whatev.

So I'm sad because we only have a week of break left. I suppose thats actually a long time, but it's still sad. I have a week to seduce Thomas I suppose xD Haven't made one of those faces in what feels like a million years.
I hope everyone had as good of a Christmas as I did (or better). I got a new camera (!!), speakers for my ipod (they're really really cool), tons of clothes (I admit I have a problem), and my parents said they'll get my car fixed (funny story, I backed into a mailbox). So overall very good. The break's been pretty nice too. I've hung out with a handful of people, including the boy. We went and got coffee a few days before Christmas. I'm not sure how awesome things went, but there were no awkward pauses, and I got to see him, so that was good.
New Years should be interesting. I've invited some people to hang out (Thomas included). Sheila and I are driving to Alambama or SC tomorrow to get fireworks. Haha, I'm pumped. My mom for once said it was okay. Sheila doesn't think her parents will be okay with it, so she's gonna have to lie. ROAD TRIP :)

The Hembrides (Fingal's Cave) Op. 26 - BSO |

Why do I keep coming back to this topic? I mean seriously, I think I have a problem. I should rename this just boy though, cause there's only one (crazy I know), but I'm in pretty deep. He's so adorable. He plays guitar, and madelin, and violin, and every other instrument on the face of the earth. He's a gentleman, he's a senior (that's actually kind of sad... he'll be leaving next year), and I screwed up big time. We had a thing last year, and I just blew it off, cause I'm a bitch. Well, now I like him again, and I have no clue if it will actually work. NO IDEA! GAH! Good thing he can't read this.
Moving on, school is so close to being over, I can taste it. I got my hardest final over with (AP Chem). I think I'm going to somehow pull off all A's. The AP Chem grade is questionable though. I have an 86, but she curves like a mofo, so I think I can do it. I don't think anyone can fathom how excited I am for this break. I need a break so so so so bad. Plus I love Christmas a lot. Yay.
Someone want to make and code a new layout for me? I'd love you forever!

Anyone who's actually reading this is probably thinking, "What the fuck? Maggie hasn't posted in I don't know, over a century. What the hell is she doing now?" Well folks, I'm pretty much just really ridiculously bored/not wanting to do my homework. Plus I miss having a blog and typing is so much easier than writing in a journal. Duh.
I need to find my copy of Photoshop elements, wipe off all the dust, and make a new layout and some avatars. I forgot how satisfying making graphics was. Plus it'll give me something to do on the those awesome lonely nights when my friends 'forget to call' and go out and party without me.
Junior year is wonderful (I hope you can tell I'm being sarcastic). Boys are stupid, my friends are stupid, and grades are stupid. Everything seems so important/final. Like it actually counts this year, and it's hard. I have to take millions upon millions of tests, I'm involved in more clubs than I can count on one hand, and my work ethic has all but disapeered.
SO yeah, if anyone actually reads this, comment and let me know how you're all doing. I miss all of you!

Ok, I've given up on perfecting this layout. I'll just put an entry on, EVEN THOUGH the stupid picture isn't aligned properly, and the text is stupid. Whatever.
Anyways, hey guys. Life is pretty sweet right now. I like sophmore year. Cross Country is going amazingly well, even if Coach Barbe is a err douche? (for lack of a better term. xD) He's just retarded. I miss Coach Roberts. He was like, the shit. If I had been good last year, I would have actually gotten to know him (I kind of sucked last year). Coach Barbe is obsessed with people not getting hurt. Gaaaaaaah. But yeah, I'm doing well. I got a medal (9th place baby!) on Saturday, at a hard course too. Go me! Thursday is JV County. I'm excited.
Because of Hurricane Rita, and our governer being a little weirdo, school was cancelled today and tomorrow. Can you say 4 day weekend?! Haha. FUCK YEAH! I was really bummed, because I didn't think I'd get to do anything this weekend between cross country and church, but sticking two extra days onto it really helped with that issue. xD
On Friday Karl came over and we 'watched' Old School. Har har. He's such a cutie, even if he is kind of dumb. *falls over* Like I've said before he's not the most suave guy ever. Atleast he's stopped asking me permision to do stuff. (ex: "Sweetie? Can I make out with you?" or "Is it ok if I touch your boob?" xDDDD He didn't actually do that. Don't worry folks). I didn't do anything Saturday night. I was poooped. Cross Country meets do that to you. Sunday was very church filled, but after youth Justine and Laura came over. OH MY GOD! Those two are the horniest girls like EVER. I expect it from Justine, especially since she hasn't been able to do anything with her boyfriend for a few days (she got in trouble. oooooo), but LAURA?! It was so hilarious. We watched Fever Pitch, which was cute, but too much making out for the two of them to handle. Overall, it was an odd night. We spent like a half hour outside riding around on scooters, making plans for "Scooter Fest 2005", and reminescing about the time Justine, Colin, and I went scootering over the summer (big fun). Talking about Colin made me REALLY miss him. Like REALLY. I mean, this summer we did a lot together, and like now I barely talk to him. It's sad *cries*
Okie, I need to go call Heather. She's boored. Poor her.
