John Lennon's Birthday!

Today is John Lennon's birthday. If he wasn't shot almost 28 years ago, he would have been 68.  That fact makes me sad. He had so much left to offer, and yet it was all taken away from him by some deranged lunatic who just wanted to be remembered with him. I know his name, but I'm not going to mention it because he doesn't deserve the credit. It's just sickening that someone who wanted peace and love was killed in such a violent way. 

The world misses him, and his creative and peaceful mind.

Making up for Yesterday

Hello everyone! Today I have off from school, so I have to do my English homework *sigh*. I have to read 12 chapters of A Tale oF Two Cities, which is a book that I don't really like that much. It's got an interesting underlying message, however, the language used in it is just difficult for me to comprehend. Oh, yesterday was just a regular average day. Nothing special. Except last night I was on the phone with my cousin for like 3 hours. It was insane. But awesome. Ok, well, I'm gonna put up another post after this, so stay tuned! 

Peace and LOVE<3,

Time For a Post

Now I actually have some time for a post! 

My presentation actually went well. Worst than I expected, though. I got really nervous when I actually got into the room, and my legs were shaking as I sat down. I totally screwed up the introduction, and was totally mad at myself for that, but I was ok as the presentation went on. I even fixed a mistake that one of my group members made with a quick thinking question. I was pretty happy with the results. And I also had an excuse to wear a dress. I love dresses. 

I also had swimming today. I have no idea how I'm in the advanced group. I look like a drowning duck when I swim! Anyway, gtg!

Peace && Luv,

Not Much Time for a Post

My mom is being annoying, so I don't have much time to post. Today I had my presentation, and I'll tell about that tomorrow, because I don't have enough time to go into detail. Check for it tomorrow!

Today In My Life

Well, today was an ok day. I had a math test that I think I did good on. I did all my homework. I stayed after school and talked with my friends. Oh and speaking of that, My friend Lydia's boyfriend of almost six months (their 6 months anniversary would have been on Thursday) broke up with her. I felt so bad for her! It was her first boyfriend, too! And he used the "I think we should see other people" line. What a load of shit! 

Anyway, so it was an ok day. Tomorrow is my Public Speaking speech on Child Abuse. I think I'm gonna do pretty good on it, as I said before. 

Well, I need to finish my homework and practice my speech, so I'll go now. 

If you want, you can check out my playlist. It's pretty rockin. And of course, Rehab by Rihanna is the first song on there. And why wouldn't it be, it's my favorite! 

Peace And Love<3,

Third Party Candidate

I think Ralph Nader is the third party candidate again! If I was eighteen, I would totally vote for him! I remember him from the election 4 years ago.... even though I was only 12. Or, technically, 11. But I was gonna turn 12. ANYWAY, so I'm all for Ralph Nader. Even though I know he can't win. But at least I would have made a contribution to the vote of the American people. Yeah, I'm so patriotic. 

Oh, and speaking of Americans and patriotism and stuff like that, I find it sad that other countries think of Americans as fat, loud, spoiled, dumb, and rude. It's kinda sad that all the not-so-fat, quiet, un-spoiled, smart, and kind people are lumped into that assumption. But whatever, I'm not gonna worry about that. 

Peace and Love,

Bored and Annoyed

I finally finished my homework! 

When I finished, though, I had to clean my room before I could go on the computer. That was annoying, but manageable. Now I'm watching the Vice Presidential Debate (again). I can never seem to pay attention long enough to remember what they said. I still can't pay attention. But I actually like watching it. It's interesting to listen to what they have to say. 

I personally think that neither Sarah Palin nor Barack Obama are qualified for the positions they set out to achieve, however if I had to choose, I probably would vote for Obama/Biden. Even though I definitely think that Hillary Clinton should have been the Democratic nominee for either president or vice president. Sarah Palin totally ignores the questions that she's asked most of the time, and McCain is old, and I would not want to take that risk that Palin could become the president. THAT would be a problem.

 

"President Palin, do you think we should go to war?" 

"Well, in light of recent events, I believe that some immediate actions should be taken in order to solve our problems. Let's take the maverick approach!"

"So... is that a yes or a no?" 

"I think that we should do whatever a maverick would do!" 

"That's not an answer to my question" 

"Well, I don't like that question." 

"So, if you don't answer, does that mean 'no'?"

"Well, it means that we should, you know, do something. You know, I can see Russia from my house!" 

*everyone slaps their foreheads* 

That's an exaggeration of what could happen. And that's why I don't want McCain to win. Is there a third party candidate? Because that's who I'd vote for if they were experienced. 

And now you know my political views, when all I was going to do was say what I was doing today.  Only I could get so sidetracked. 

Peace && L. O. V. E. <3,

Stupid Times At The Carnival

I just got back from the carnival. It was so boring. 

So we were volunteering, and when we got there, we had no idea where to go. So then we found some people from our school at a booth selling t-shirts and asked them what to do. They told us that we could take over for them, because they were leaving soon. So we did. The rides were closing at 4, and it was 3:30 so we only were managing it for like 30 minutes. And there was a volunteer sign in sheet in a box at our booth, so a bunch of other people from our school came over to us and we told them to sign in. But some people weren't on the sign in list, so they either left or wrote their names on it. I had a migraine, so I bought some popcorn (food helps me when I have migraines) and my friend and I ate it. 

When the carnival ended our shift still wasn't over for another two and a half hours, so we went over to the firehouse where there was food and drinks. Once we realized that there was nothing for us to do, I tried calling my mom to pick us up like 20,000 times. She didn't pick up, and I thought she was mad at me and just ignoring my calls. But really she was outside talking to someone. She said she would come pick us up, so we walked back to the place where she dropped us off. Then I started naming some of the trees after the Beatles and the Monkees. I found the shortest tree and named it Davy, and the tallest tree and named it Mike, and then the rest of the trees were just randomly named after a Beatle or Monkee. 

Then my mom made me and my friend get some chocolate in the grocery store, and we had a fun time getting the stuff and making jokes. Only us weirdos can have fun in a supermarket. We ended up getting muffins and gum too. It cost like $30 for just that stuff. I was like "What the hell? Thirty bucks for chocolate, muffins, and gum?!?!?!?" It was ludicrous!

And now, I have to get back to doing my homework. 

Peace and Love<3, 

Nessa ;)

Quickie Post Before I Leave

Hi, 

I'm going soon to volunteer at some stupid carnival thing that I don't really want to go to, but my friend signed me up. I do need the volunteering, but I have lots of homework this weekend. I'm about half way done my science homework, and I still have English and Spanish homework. I didn't update yesterday because I was working on homework/ annoying my brother/ talking to my mom last night. So this is kind of a make up for last night.  

Yesterday was an average day of school, except I didn't get my interim when I should have. It was all because my homeroom teacher wasn't there. Subs don't usually know that there's interims that need to be handed out, so we didn't get them. There was an assembly that we were watching on the T.V. in homeroom, and I couldn't hear what they were saying because my homeroom is too loud, and the teacher didn't turn up the volume. My friends were going to come over yesterday, but my mom never gave me a definite answer, and I have too much homework. So instead, I worked on my introduction/transitions/conclusion for my Public Speaking speech. I'm actually pretty excited for this speech now. I think my group will be the best so far, and maybe the best of the class. 

And so, that is my boring little life. 

Peace and Love, 

Nessa :D

My Craziness!

Today was a good day. I feel a bit more confident about my Public Speaking speech (see yesterday's first post). And today, I had a meeting for the Goodwill Ambassadors Club. I had so much fun, because all my friends were there with me. I was so hyper after I had some M&M's, I couldn't even sit still. I was just a little to hyper. But whatever.

 Anyway, I also started another blog with my opinions on the world. It's url is http://onegirlsviewoftheworld.blogspot.com/ or you can access it from my full profile. Check it out, if you want!

Peace and Luv, 

Nessa :P
