Unless you're Khai. :3

I don't think my mother realizes how much I hate having my picture taken.

It took her five photos of my middle finger to figure it out. XD

And... Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and mon-ay! XD Had that stuck in my head for the longest time. It's -so- not true.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a [Music/Melody] in a pear twee~

...XD

Well, I suppose today was better than I'd expected. I got lots of wonderful birthday wishes from my girlfriends (and a few guyfriends, too), and Larissa even gave me a card.

I got fifty dollars and another card when I got home - this card was a cute kitten in a pocket, as opposed to the slightly offensive (but of course, in good thoughts on Larissa's part) three wise men card. At least Larissa wrote me something. It's great to know that she thinks I'm unique and doesn't want me to change for anyone. :3

I also got some bracelets, hair ties (which is good, since I frequently lose mine), and a bit of make-up (which I thankfully got to choose myself, because otherwise I might end up looking like a clown XD;;), and then my dad went for Burger King. I had my first two double-cheeseburgers. XD And a Coke icee. :3

My tummy hurts a bit. Oh well. My birthday wasn't the most amazingly spectacular thing in the entire world, but I'm content.

I've also got a holiday drawing to scan, but... *shakes fist at scanner!* Hrrmph. If I ever get it scanned, I'll put it up. It's cute.

So...I'm -finally- fifteen, then. Whoo. Somehow I thought it would be more exciting than this, but that was when I was younger. I guess I've matured a bit since then. That's always good, but Sam and I were laughing til our sides hurt on the bus, so I've still got a sense of humor. X3

I flounced around school all day sending out "happy Winter Solstice" wishes. Y'see, I'm atheist (which, as Yahoo! puts it, is the "denial of the existence of God or gods and of any supernatural existence, to be distinguished from agnosticism, which holds that the existence cannot be proved"), so I don't celebrate the whole Christmas thing, or Hannukah, or Kwanza, or, um, anything else you might think of. But since most of my friends are Christians, I give them gifts anyways since they give me some too. I mean, it'd just seem greedy and selfish not to, really, and I have nothing against Christmas or it's meaning. I just don't believe in it, is all. :3

At lunch, Shteve finally confessed his love for Sam. And then threatened to impale me with his breadsticks if I told her. XD She knew already, of course. Shteve is just silly. x3

I think Shrew (emph...long story; his real name is Jacob) is dating Brittany. I hope not. They've been hanging out a lot lately, and Brittany's my friend, so I kind of imagined her with John. And Shrew's my ex, so I know what he's like, but maybe she likes the undescribably annoying and immature. *shrugs* And...you people have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. XD!

And I think Dickie-doo (oh my gosh...-really- long story, but his real name is Chuck/Charles) is back. I hope not. I mean, I really, really, really hope not. He's one psycho...person.

And Ashley's back! Whoo! She is the awesomest, coolest, bestest cousin ever. I remember when she pierced my ears for the second time...with a safety pin. XD And she told me lots and lots of things when I was staying with her when we first moved here. I do mean lots, and I think she was a major factor in me becoming bisexual. Um. Not that she and I -did- anything. O_o We used to stay up really late at night and discuss things like that, and she was so open to discuss things of that nature that I think it really helped me embrace my admiration of females as much as I do males. <3 That all sounded really weird. XD

Speaking of that, as well as rereading the previous entry, Quadarrel and I got into another...conversation. We were walking down the upstairs hallway this time.

A: I wanna go hoooooome.
Q: I wanna go home. And eat.
A: I wanna go home and talk to my boyfriend~
Q: But. You don't have a boyfriend.
A: Yes I do.
Q: No you don't. You have a girlfriend.
A: Yes I do. No I don't. Wait. Shut up? *confused* >.<
Q: So you admit it!
A: Admit what?
Q: I've heard...things about you. I know your secret.
A: ...What's my secret? o.o
Q: You're B-...I-...
A: N-G-O? XD
Q: No! B-...I...-S-C-E-X-U-A-E-L.
A: What? XD Biskeckseeyul?
Q: You know what I mean!!
A: ...And?
Q: So you do admit it!
A: Admit what? I never denied anything.
Q: Someone told me about you and that one girl.
A: What girl? O.o
Q: Kaitlyn?
A: Who the fuck is Kaitlyn?
Q: Or Kristen or Kirsty or whatever!
A: I don't know anyone named Kaitlyn or Kristen. Or Kirsty.
Q: Yes you do. You -lie-.
A: No...I don't know anyone with those names!

Then the bell rang and I went downstairs to my class. He might've been talking about Gia, because I know Sam likes to get into my accounts and snoop, and she was doing that a lot when I was dating Gia. With her living in Virginia though, there's nothing we could have actually done. Gia's the only girl I've ever dated, and I really don't know any people with those names. Oh well. He was probably just going into one of his odd rants again. XD

This was an amusing conversation I had with Quadarrel today during lunch. He followed me to my locker, as usual (well, ours -are- right next to each other's XD) and we were looking out the window when he started an odd conversation. Well, I can't say it's odd for -him-... XD Q = him, A = me. X3

Q: ...So there's this tree out there.
A: *laughs* Okay?
Q: I wasn't finished!
A: Well, finish then!
Q: There's this tree out there...
A: XD
Q: Quit!
A: Okay, okay, I'm listening.
Q: So there's this tree out there. And there's, like, this -lump- under it. And the lump...has a penis.
A: XD What the hell are you talking about?
Q: That tree! *points*
A: O_o ... *grabs his apple juice*
Q: Don't drink it!!
A: ...Why?
Q: 'Cause I've got a cold sore.
A: Oookay.
Q: Do you WANT my cold sore?
A: ...No?
Q: Besides, it's on my butt.
A: If it's on your butt, that's not a cold sore.
Q: What -is- it, then?
A: Herpes? XD
Q: *after a moment* You know we're going out.
A: ...Since when? O_o
Q: Since now.
A: Ooookay then. o.o XD
Q: We have to kiss now.
A: Nooooooo we don't. o_o;
Q: Yes we do! *makes odd motions with his tongue waving in the air*
A: ... o.o
Q: Like that!
A: ...No.
Q: I...gotta pee.
A: So go to the bathroom! It's right around the corner!
Q: I can't! I won't make it!
A: XD Why not?
Q: Becaaaaaaause...those guys went in therrrrrrrrre...
A: o.o What guys?
Q: The ones over there!
A: *doesn't see anyone*
Q: And besides, they might be -doing stuff- in there. *demonstrates with his hands*
A: o.o
Q: *grabs her hand*
A: What -are- you doing??
Q: Put your hand...right...here...
A: *jerks her hand away and whacks him with her book*

Then the bell rang, I think. He's so stupid, though. XD

[Hook - Ciara]
I ain't never had nobody show me all the things that you been showin' me
And the special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together, baby that's what you told me
And I believe it ('cause I ain't neva had nobody do me like you)

[Verse 1 - Bow Wow (Ciara)]
Now I done been with different kind of girls
Like I done seen em all but ain't none of them at all (like you)
And I done seen the best of the best
Baby still I ain't impressed cause ain't none of them at all (like you)
If you know how I feel when I chill
If I'm seen with a girl then she gotta be just (like you)
And baby that's the way I feel
And I got no choice but for me to keep it real
'Cause when we first got together started hanging out you was
Skeptical at first had to figure out if
I was the kind of guy to try to dog you out, but
I ain't that kind of guy you tried to make me out
You found out when you turned into my baby
I showed them other brothers how to treat a lady
I let you drive when I ride that Mercedes
And I ain't trippin or actin shady 'cause baby you know

[Hook - Bow Wow & Ciara]
I ain't neva had nobody show me all the things that you been showin' me
And the special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together, baby that's what you told me
And I believe it ('cause I ain't neva had nobody do me like you)

[Verse 2 - Ciara]
And every time I think about you (I cry)
When you ride when you call when you come I (ride)
Your love is amazing to me
Can't wait til I see you (I wanna be wit you again)
And every time you're out on the road (I make a trip)
And whenever I'm doing a show (Don't you forget)
That I'm your (main chick)
Who got that (game chick)
One and the (same chick)
The one you can hang with

[Hook - Bow Wow & Ciara]
I ain't neva had nobody show me all the things that you been showin' me
And the special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together, baby that's what you told me
And I believe it ('cause I ain't neva had nobody do me like you)

[Verse 3 - Bow Wow]
Okay when you hit the mall pop tags spend a few Gs (jazin?)
Hit the runway to a new season (season)
It ain't nothin it's you the one I care for
Feel like I ain't doing enogh that's when I share more (share more)
I give you this give you that what you need love (love)
You know I got it holla at me if you need love (love)
And affection cause i'll be your protection
Kinda hard job but i'll do it to perfection
And you can tell that I ain't tryna let you go
I get with you when I can so that's how I let you kno
And you be trippin cause sometimes I gotta go
But you the first one I hollared to right after my shows
And I was trippin in a sense I was tense
From my body loose around you what imma do without you
I gotta get it together say whateva
Since I met you my life seems so betta

[Hook - Ciara]
I ain't neva had nobody show me all the things that you been showin' me

This is one of the prettiest R&B songs I've ever heard. :3

I'm gonna use this journal for now. Why?
a., I'm never on elftown anymore to use that one.
b., I've lost my LiveJournal password.
c., my Gaia journal is filled with other stuff to take care of.
d., I'm never on MySpace anymore.

I digress. I wish my dad would take my to the doctor - my ear needs to be checked out, and I need to go back to school ASAP. I've got a computers presentation to do and a biology report to turn in, not to mention all the make-up work I've got. Mrs. Knieper never gave my doctor's note back, so now Ms. Lawrence can't excuse my absences, and since Ms. Balbough wasn't there yesterday, neither can she.

I swear, I'm gonna fail ninth grade. x_x It's not my fault they keep the school so unsanitary that I fall ill every other week. @_@

At least winter break is coming up. Sure, it's a week later than my brother's (so unfair Dx) but it'll suffice. A week or so away from worrying about my grades will be nice.

I want a report card soon. I need to know which classes need more improvement. Well, besides algebra; no need to tell me I'm failing that since I already know. n.n

Damned Sam is stealing again. She's gotten ahold of my poems, apparently wiped them all from this computer, and is claiming them as hers. Luckily I had them stored on an old ET wiki she wasn't aware of, so I was able to get them all back and then bitch at her on elfpack.

You won't believe all the poems and art she's claimed to have done, though. It's terrible. If she'd just practice instead of stealing, she'd get as good as I am (not trying to be cocky here) in no time. *sigh*

It's almost my birthday. I'm not as excited as I expected to be. I mean, really, it's just another year, right? No one'll get me anything (again), and I'm not throwing a party. There's just no sense in going through with all the hassle when just Sam would be there, and all we'd do is wander around outside in the cold (or, to her, looking for 'hot guys').

Oh yeah. I miss my Khai. ;; <3

Oh no, Matthew's awake. *dread* >.<
