Monday: Cartoon Day
Tuesday: Toga Tuesday
Wednesday: Superhero Day
Thursday: Nerd Day
Friday: Spirit Wear

I typically don't dress up because its too much of a hassle and takes some time when it comes to planning, plus its aimed more at the seniors [[i plan to go ALL out senior year, you can win gift cards for having one of the best costumes and if you win on spirit day you get the part of most spirited in the yearbook]].
So today was "Toga Tuesday", and I was actually pretty excited to have a Roman spirited day, but sadly, it was not so.

Nearly everybody wore their togas WRONG! And I don't know what some of these people were wearing because they were definitely not togas, just white see through dress things with golden accents. Then other people just had it tied up or pinned at the top instead of wrapped properly.

Some people's togas went just to their knees or above.
Others had it draped over their right shoulders.
And then still I saw people wearing YELLOW togas which, for those of you who are up to date on your Roman history, meant you had a very inappropriate occupation.

This mockery, as a result, made me have a pretty bad day. I had to channel my anger in to a hate note to all the toga misusers, which was taken from me and laughed at.
It was almost as bad as when we had to read "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare last year, I almost cried at the scene where Caesar was stabbed 23 times.
[Shakespeare says 33 >:[ but the scene was pretty heart-breaking]
I had an infatuation with Caesar last year... my "historical crush". ; ]

I asked the people on student government to please not support the toga tuesday idea next year unless they provide pamphlets on the proper wear next year on account some people were offended...

Historical inaccuracies don't go by well with me.
Especially when it comes to Rome.

Before you know it I'm gone.

In your dreams I'll appear to you

And you'll know I was there all along.

When the breeze brushes you cheek

Or the sun kisses your face

Or when a rainbow smiles your way

When the summer grass hugs you,

The autumn air fills you,

Or Winter's first snow tucks you in...

And when spring comes 'round

there's new life everywhere.

And you'll know...I was there

It was a productive 4 hours of raking leaves and snow.
Less than half of the people who had volunteered to come actually came, so it was pretty tough, but we actually wound up finishing earlier than planned. It was pretty fun... and pretty hard work, I wish it hadn't been so cold though. I was shivering through 5 layers of clothing all of which were long sleeved and one of the layers was under-armor which I wore on my legs as well.

I just thought I would inform everybody that it has been made official, St. Augustine will now be my confirmation Saint, I've been thinking about choosing him for 5 years, so I guess there was no denying that I was gonna choose him. I've just a;ways admired him I guess.

His feast day is on my birthday.
[[But that's not why I chose him]]

Yay! Our very first video. Won't say too much, you have to look at it for yourself.

This teacher is hard to understand... or maybe he is so simple to understand it is confusing, oh well. He is brilliant (...or crazy), he speaks like, 7 languages and incorporates them in to all the classes. His major is in Latin and the history he knows practically everything about the language and the culture that there is to know. He had a bunch of acheivments... I can't even remember. The thing is, this guy can get away with ANYthing. He curses, has posters on the wall with these curse words, and does anybody stop him? Nope.

He has a wooden paddle in his classroom (actually he has 2, there is a smaller one). He whacks "nasty little boys" (even when they aren't being nasty) with yard sticks, throws books at them, and throws them out of their desks for things as simple as forgetting their homework. While if a girl does the same thing he simply pretends he doesn't see a thing. In the front of his classroom there is "sleepy chair" and old chair that gets a new cover each year where girls are allowed to sit and sleep during the class with a blanket over them when their boyfriend breaks up with them, or they are upset over some drama with their best friend, or when they just aren't feeling well.

He tells all the students how happy he is to have them in his class everyday calls them "babe", "beautiful men", "cuties" (all these names given to boys). He compliments all the girls. And then after complimenting the boys he manages to pick at all their flaws. Students who don't know a thing about him or have never had him before say, "What a strange man..." He actually blessed one kid in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and told him that he had absolved his sins and unless he brought his homework he would rot in You-Know-Where. (After which one kid said "Why don't you just send him to Azkaban?" Gee just snorted at him like that was the weirdest thing he'd ever heard).

Now after hearing that would you believe this guy is an Irish Catholic?

Even after the countless stories about this man from Nicole and Danny I still have no idea what to expect. We'll see... I can't wait... I guess.

I think we may be almost done with our first tape so we should get to editing soon.

We stayed there a while and talked while we had our snacks when Kyoshi realized that he needed rubberbands for his braces because he ran out and since his orthodontist wasn't very far away, we went there and got his rubberbands, got free toothpaste, played with Leggos, and conversed with the extremely nice orthodontist and receptionist.

Next, we went to the middle school, Fiveforks, because it wasn't much farther and Jessie had to go to the bathroom. Everybody loved us everywhere we went because we are Brookwood runners! So we got to go into the front office while the middle schoolers were getting out and Jessie went to the bathroom. We talked to the Principal and the Receptionist and they all knew Kyoshi apparently because he was a trouble maker turned good. Then we got lollipops and Jessie and I ran back whil Mary and Kyoshi were tired. Then we waited at the school for 20 minutes while we waited for Mary to get back because we remembered all out stuff was in her locker! : )

So it was a good day for a Monday and I was glad to be running after being a week without it, and let me tell you, I am so out of shape. I got really tired from 4 miles and we usually do 5-6. I had to stop so many times. Still, a good day for running.

Actually, we discovered this on accident because we were all separately the sam as Jessie, making us ALL the same, and we all have a lot in common, and even if in one category it is not all 4 of us, at least two of us are the same. It is very complex... I guess Angie is a complex being.

Oh, and we didn't choose the name Angie, because one day we played ultimate frisbee and we introduced ourselves to everyone, but they didn't introduce themselves back, and they wouldn't pass the Frisbee to us (even though I made 2 AMAZING catches that scored 2 POINTS each because I'm a girl), so we ran around giving everybody names. Then, one guy said that we would have one nickname because we were basically the same person (we didn't even say ANYTHING about the "WE") and named us Angie.

So basically, that is it, and we all are going to get our wenises pierced and get wenis leashes when we are 18.

Mommo & Jojo -- unrevised

Momo and Jojo were the happy hairdressers. They were married to eachother and had a small shop. About 2 or 3 people a day came to MJ Cuts. Their last name was Chocho.

5 years later Momo and Jojo discovere[d] business was low... low (lol). So they decided to have a kid. It was twins! Toto and Bobo. Momo and Jojo got extra sticky tape and taped the new babies to the wall for decoration. They looked great hanging up their on the wall! "Surely these babies will make people come to the shop!" said Momo. Then, Jojo hadan idea, they could have more kids! Momo could feed the babies and Jojo would put clothes on them after she had them.

Eventually (20 years later) they were satisfied with 40 kids. All of them hanging on the wall. Of course this attracted a whole bunch of people. They did not want their hair done though. Momo and Jojo had to start selling food. Then people kept coming in. All their kids in order were: Toto, Bobo, Frofro, Yoyo, Shosho, Dodo, Roro, Coco, Nono, Koko, Jojo jr., Momo jr., Zozo, Lolo, Quoquo, Ohoh, Hoho, Gogo, Xoxo, Popo, Vovo, Trotro, Fadofado, Ladolado, Yadoyado, Noshonosho, Hopohopo, Mojomojo, Jomojomo, Drodro, Dotrodotro, Vrovro, BjoBjo, HroHro, SkloSklo, PofroPofro, Fofo, ChoCho, and Emily. One day, the babies got sooooo bbig they fell down off the wall and went to college. Jojo couldn't have anymore babies, but they were millionaires by that time. Still, they wanted more money, so every year they go and get Chinese babies and tape them on the wall, now they're the richest people on Earth.

Floppy Joe

Once there was a clown named Floppy Joe. He had really bad teeth so he never smiled. That is how he got the name "Frowny Face". Everyone hated Frown Face because he made babies and little kids cry. Also he made ladies cry because he tried to kiss them because he but he smelled like circus onions and who would want to kiss a guy who made kids cry, had bad teeth, and smelled like circus onions. All the man beat up Frown Face because he kissed their women and made their kids cry (contributing to his oral hygiene problem). The circus fired Frowny Face so we will call him Floppy Joe now. Floppy decided to become a constructor who worked in the sewers and became best friends with a sewer rat named Kickloratchee.

There are also more stories like this in my journal, insane doodles, a recipe for mist, and spelling words. I was a strange kid... Who knows what I was thinking.

Now playing: Superfreak by Rick James

Also "Will milk be provided?" is from The Breakfast Club. It is a frequently used quote at my school. Nobody is really quite sure how it got started, but I think I know if ya'll want to hear it, it's an interesting story.
