Also I haven't updated in 26 weeks according to LJ. That's a long time.
My computer has 5 hours of battery life. My old piece of crap got an hour, if I was lucky. I love my Mac. He's the best, and his name is Sullivan. :D
I want coke.
Our house is infested with gnats. Well there are like 5 or 6, and they're SO annoying. Like I'll just be doing something and it'll fly around my face. And then I squish it with my bare hands and freak out and wash my hands.
I baked a cake today! I got inspired by Food Network Challenge and decided that I'd be a cake designer when I grew up. Either that or a trapeze artist.

Oh well.
My mother convinced me to play soccer this year, and they start in a couple weeks. I'm nervous, because I sucked at soccer whenever we played in P.E. and I'm afraid my mom might have over-evaluated my skills. But I've been working out again for a few days, and I can barely walk around because my legs are so sore. Not a very good way to start out, but whatevs. I was going to go run with my dad, well, he's riding his bike with me to the walking path. But still, yeah. He's taking a nap, so that might be a while. On the bright side, I got a 95 on my grammar test last week, and I'm going shoe shopping for my winter formal dress tomorrow. Hurray! My dress is FIERCE.
So yeah. I'm going to go wake my dad up.
I think I'm sick but I have no clue what it is. My throat hurts and earlier I felt sick, and I had a really bad headache earlier(I still can't move my eyes to the side and stuff without it hurting)and I'm all phlegm-y, and I'm always sleepy and light-headed. It's wack.
I did pretty much nothing today. Went to church, ate a sandwich, then fell asleep on the couch for like, 2 or 3 hours. I feel like, so ew.
Uh, yeah, I think I have a cold. I'm not too enthralled about it.
On the VERY bright side, my dad(bless him to eternity) bought me Twilight at Hastings after he heard me complaining about not having a copy of my own. I started about noon or 1-ish and I'm already in 300 pages. *sigh* I forgot how intoxicating that book is. It's actually kind of disturbing, a few times Edward will say something and I'll just finish Bella's sentence before reading it. I realized that I'm really glad I didn't have a lot of free time the first time I read it, because you just don't get the full effect when you're shoving it down your throat in a few hours as opposed to days or weeks. But I really don't care right now, because I HAVE TWILIGHT. <3
I've taken two Benadryl, one a few hours ago(I kind of fell asleep with the book for a few hours because of the sleep-drug) and one about half an hour ago, and I can tell I'm not going to be reading much more tonight. I'll probably write or something. I'll finish tomorrow.
Anyways, the reason I got on was to finish the movie-rant. It turned ot Calli's in Marshal(now I have a completely legit excuse to watch Twilight again) for the weekend, so she couldn't come, and Caitlin never showed up. Darn it all. Mandy(Shandi's sister) and Mandy and Shandi's mom came with us too. The line to get into the room where the movie was was a lot longer than I imagined, of course I imagined prancing in without a line at all. We got really good seats, and I was practically perfectly happy with mine. I got kind of miffed about 15 minutes in(this has nothing to do with the movie) because Camille and Shandi were talking through most of it like "THERE'S EDWARD" or "Oh I love this part" or something. It really didn't bug me that they were talking so much as the fact that I was just as excited as Shandi but Camille was definitely trying to ignore me. I didn't really talk to her after that, because she's a loser. Then afterwards I finally had that popcorn stomachache and used that as an excuse not to talk to the thing. But I felt pretty stinking vampirical, because I was trying really hard to look graceful(to no avail). Just for fun.
Oh, the movie was fantastical. It stayed as close to the book as much as possible, I think. Some stuff they added and some stuff they took out, but the movie is stinking two hours long. I had to pee before, in the middle, and after, and if it were much longer, I probably would've gotten too restless to pay attention. And oh, the cast.
The only ugly guys were Charlie and Laurent. Every single other one was gorgeous. Well, at least hot. Robert Pattinson looked pretty darn dazzling to me. So did Kellan Lutz *faint*. And JAMES. *dies* James was amazing(not to mention he never buttoned his jacket through the entire movie). Sigh.
And re-reading the book is even more spectacular. It brings back memories of Chicago, too, which makes me happy. Like ordering pizza from room service and unknowingly going to a bar by myself. What wonderful memories. :D
If you don't have the Twilight soundtrack, get it. Now. It is glorious. I've been listening to it nonstop since I got it, and I love it so much. I love all the songs except like, one, and that's really good for me. I don't even mind the song I don't like, I just always skip it out of habit. But they're all kind of catchy, like, I got one in my head but I'd barely listened to it, so I only knew like, one part. That drives me insane. Anyways.
I was writing last night and when I tried to save it my computer froze. I was mad.
My nose is all stuffy and things. It bothers me. I'm going to go do something.

Twilight was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
AMAZING.
Anyways. That's that. I have no intentions of posting much more because I have to read Twilight, NOW. NOW.
I'm going to find it llegally online and read it. *sigh* I LOVE the internet.
Oh my, Carlisle was sexy. So was like, everyone else. *ahh* My face was so red afterwards.
And someone puked in the bathroom. Blech.
I have to read. NFUWEIBFIWjir43hugtejjekgeuhkfugkyay. And Emmett was so spectacular. I squealed so much. <3
I'm so hungry. Blehh. AND I LOVE BREAKING DAWN SO FAR. I read 200 pages Monday, and about 150 today so far. I woke up half an hour early this morning so I could read. And then never paid attention all day because I was reading. Like people would just kind of stare at me and I wouldn't notice until like 5 minutes later. They laughed at me. D: Heh.
And I had awful cramps today. And I didn't figure out I had started until lunch and I was wearing khaki pants. That made me SO MAD. Like, very mad. Very very very very mad because I had just washed them like, yesterday. Oh well. Like, my cramping was so awful it made me feel sick and I had to call my mom to check me out half an hour early. It was horrendous.
But now I'm better!! 2 DAYS!! Actually I'm going to see it Saturday. OH I am SO pissed about the movie. It was supposed to just be me, Shandi and Camille, but then Robbi and Calli invited themselves and now Calli's annoying 8th grade friend invited herself. Do you know how IMPOSSIBLE it is going to be to seat 6 people in the theater? 6!! And it just bugs me that they invited themselves. Like Camille and I were talking about it and Calli goes "Oh I know it's going to be SO MUCH FUN!!! LOL!" And Camille was like "...Are you... coming.... too...?" Uh. Yeah, thanks for asking.
Guh. uiwef bciuolgfxhku trufkjbrnvkhbrgfbkvgdkjbdgtekjbgjk. I'm alright. But I am NOT sitting next to that leech.
No.
I chewed Calli out today, actually. I was so completely in pain that I really could care less. She was all like "BEKAH ARE YOU ALRIGHT-" and I was like "Calli, I really can't deal with you right now, please just leave me alone." And she was like "Wha-" "SHUT UP."
That actually made me feel a lot better. Bahahaha.
I think that's it. I CAN'T WAIT FOR SATURDAY. :D.
Oh and I got the Twilight soundtrack from Camille and it is AH-MAZING. That's all.
- Mood:
apathetic
Anyways, I can't figure out what I'm going to do tomorrow. I'm wearing my black polo shirt in honor of Halloween and I'm trying to think of something else with an underlying rebellion to Baptists' rejection of Halloween. Nothing too big though, because I seriously might get in trouble.
it's 9:42! I have a geometry test tomorrow and I don't want to study for it. I have a geography quiz too and I need to study some capitals in England and Scandinavia and all that jazz. It's so exhilarating.
Maybe I'll be a cat and wear cat ears all day.
I just thought of a really fun job: Disney Imagineer. As in, create all my childhood fantasies for other fantabulous children. So exciting.
Also. I just got into 30 Rock and it's amazing. Kenneth is my fav. <3 I watched it with my dad and it was somewhat awkward(because it's not exactly Barney or anything). Oh well.
And Jim Sturgess is sexy. Just wanted to throw that in.
I'm so freaking tired. I'm sleeping in tomorrow. Halleluia.
This guy that used to go to my church just asked me out. He's like, freaky, though. Extremely weird.
Moving on. Spirit week is this week. I'm not really looking forward to anything except superhero day, because I'll be wearing a cape.
And I got new shampoo! It's for long hair. My mother and I watched The Other Boleyn Girl and now I want ridiculously long hair. :D
I'm saving up for this awesome jacket. It totally owns. http://www.thinkgeek.com/apparel/hoodies/a
Lawl, waku waku waku.
I really have nothing to say either. That or I just have no motivation. I can't decide yet.
Oh, tonight was splendid. ^-^
For the first time in like, ever, I finally got totally included in something. I did the little two-finger star thing with other people for the first time ever. At school everyone's like "No, we already have enough." I feel so loved. <3
I also don't think I'll sleep tonight; I need to read my book, since the book report's due in what... 5 days? Yeah, I've got 200 more pages. I really need to read. A. Lot.
I feel a lot better than I did last night. That's good! :D
I have nothing else to say. I'm going to stop posting this.
I'm already picking out colleges, and I can't wait until the summer, because I'm going to fly down to Florida and get a job there. Then I will reluctantly fly back and spend another dreadful year in school, then return to Florida, and, being 16, I will apply for a job at Disney as a Disney princess. Then I will fly back again, and repeat the process until senior year. Then I will rampage through the school, and on the last day I'll tell everyone how I really feel about them, then fly to college and never talk to their wretched souls again.
Half of that will never happen. But I desperately wish it could.
IN OTHER NEWS. I got an 80 on my Geometry test. I cried.
I also got 100 on my Literature test, and 100 on my Vocabulary test.
That's about it actually. I want to write so much, but I never get around to it. I'm going to go write now.
That was a pun.
Goodbye.
No.
I.
Do.
Not.
In other news, I have two tests tomorrow, one on Monday, and plenty more to come later in the week. I'm not complaining, really, I could have a lot more. Just simply getting it off my chest.
I just finished my second bike ride. I've been wanting to do one thing constantly through the year, and I decided that it would be riding my bike. Right now, it's about 2 1/2 miles, but I'll definitely go farther as the days pass and the dew begins to kiss the dawn grass, and the leaves slowly break free from the trees.
I had to do a skit in drama, and it was slightly embarrassing. I messed up on the proportion of the room; I thought I would have more room to walk, so I ended up running into the wall and having to curve around the edge of the room. Awkward.
I also know all the material I need to know for all my tests except Science and Bible(on Monday, so no worries). I have the feeling I'll do some study cleaning. Or study conditioning(as in if you get the question wrong you do 20 pushups). Extremely productive either way.
I need to read my book, but I really, really, really don't want to. I've "forgotten" it the past few days, because it's simply in a rut right now, and I've gotten into the horrid habit of skipping pages and pages of the story, even chapters. Then I'm clueless and am forced to go back and read it over once more. Horridly horrid. It made me think twice about tackling War and Peace for my second book report.
I want to read, but I absolutely HATE being forced to read if I don't want to. It's nasty stuff.

And no, I have never experienced paranormal activity myself.
OMIGOSH.
I've been looking at colleges.
......
It's really freaking me out. It's really early, but dude, I want to know what college I'm going to senior year, and not have to worry about it.
And I want to take a college day in Massachussets. ^-^
DID YOU KNOW that I'm allowed to take a college day once a year for 9th and 10th grade??? It's ossim.
OH AND FRESHMAN RETREAT IS IN A MONTH.
And I'm not allowed to bring my iPod.
I need new shorts, because my only "school-appropriate" shorts are really old and the butt-area is worn out, and they look weird.
GWAH
FRESHMAN RETREAT
:D
And that's my life. I stayed up until 5 this morning, then I decided to sleep in until 1. Oh dear.
Well I woke up at 9, wandered into the living room, and crashed again, only to be awakened by father. Awkward.
I WANT TO DO SOMETHING
This entry is really random. I feel exuberantly energetic right now, but I don't want to do anything. I'll play some video games.
....
I'm halfway through my book!!!!! :D!!!
I've been skipping a lot, and I really don't feel bad about it. It's all completely irrelevant to the story, so I feel fine about doing it.
Besides the point. I'm going to talk about it now.
Last night I found myself wondering with Karamazov I would marry, and it was only about halfway through the conversation with myself that I realized what I was doing. I was completely serious at the beginning, as though they were absolutely real. It was slightly awkward finding myself in that position.
Oh, I can't WAIT for September 25th. :D
I'm going to go play Super Mario Something. I have a feeling it's going to be really hard.
.....
- Mood:

Gah.
Maybe I HAVE gotten over my head here. Whateva.
I also took down my rainbow of ribbons and all my medals. It seemed a little rude, but it wasn't just because I quit gymnastics(Dad: Don't say you quit. Say you left. I hate the word quit.). Sorry Dad.
I'm going to paint my room "When the weather cools down and we can open up your window", which means like, November here.
At least I don't live in Florida? We went swimming in the Gulf of Mexico on December 27th. We also went shopping in a strip mall, and I wore a tank top and shorts. It's so nice. :D
I've decided that I will spend August-April in Florida, then move to Chicago for the rest of the year. That is how I'll spend my life.
I have the desperate urge to just randomly go to Florida. Just completely out-of-the-blue. Like,
"Oh hey Rebekah, do you want to go to Florida tomorrow?"
"Sure! I'll go pack!"
Kabam.
I was about to ask my mom on Friday, but I figured the answer would be no. *sigh*
I'm defninitely asking to go over Thanksgiving vacation. Maybe like Saturday-Sunday. Of the next week.
Then I could cheat and get an extra tan. Cheaters ALWAYS win.
I really need to go read, and my mom's bugging me about what she should do for dinner(it drives me up a wall when she does that.) so I'm going to go read my novel for my novel report.
No, I refuse to call him a teacher. He's nothing of the sort. He reads the book, writes it on the board, makes us do the section reviews, and then counts 10 points off if you don't get the defenition in the book. He's also completely bipolar. He takes the exact same approach to teaching as he does to coaching. He's either really nice and happy, or yelling at us for being too loud. He seriously said this yesterday: "I really thought the maturity level would be higher in this class. Oh well."
He also told us that we should start acting like 9th graders. I hate to break it to him, but.... we are.
I also hate my seating arrangement. I'm sitting in front of some really arrogant guy, and he keeps flirting with Alli and Raegan. I'm sorry, but it's really, really annoying when you hear somebody flirting with somebody else. It's my ultimate pet peeve.
At least I'm sitting next to Calli. We're officially geography-buddies. Shandi's my drama-buddy. That's that.
I should really start doing my homework. I'm going to do all my homework on Mother's computer for various reasons:
1. It's faster
2. It has a printer
3. It has a scanner
4. The keyboard isn't broken
5. I hate doing homework in my room
6. I just like her computer more. :D
I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov for my first book report. I've got 3 weeks to read it, and I'm already on the 2nd book. I read for 3 hours last night.
It took me 10 minutes just to read the characters list. I didn't even bother with the 10-page introduction.
I hope Mrs. Downey doesn't think I'm an overachiever or trying to impress her with the books I'm reading
Plus Camille's reading Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights.
I would like to justify myself on why I wanted to read Wuthering Heights. I did find out about it in Twilight, but that's not why I want to read it. I want to read it because it sounds interesting, and I want to read more old literature as opposed to teen fiction in order to get an educated opinion about more books, and other books will seem less challenging, and when I have to read the Illiad in college, I won't be as overwhelmed if I read War and Peace in 9th grade. Camille told me "I'm reading Wuthering Heights because Bella read it and it's her favourite book!"
.........
What has the world come to.
I'm actually dreading to read Breaking Dawn now. I'm afraid that if I read it after I've read The Brothers Karamazov it's going to be completely melodramatic, and sappy, and complete crap of the literary world. Then I'll tell Camille "OMG I LUVD IT" and be totally contradicting, or rather, straight up lying in her face.
I still want to read Pride and Prejudice, but not for a book report. I would rather read that in my spare time, as I started to but frankly got so fed up with looking through the dicitonary every couple of sentences that I gave up and read some teen ficiton. I think I'll read it after my book report(which is due September 19, and I have no doubt in my mind that I'll finish days in advance). I should still probably go read it.
And, that's all. I'm going to go read some CLASSIC LITERATURE!!! :D
