Today's Forcast is Total Crap

"And while we wait for those Visa-vees, I will perform a song and dance routine."
Mrs. Cannon is the 8th grade Spanish teacher for our school and she has to put up with 8th grade students pronouncing and learning Spanish. (I learned the ENTIRE Spanish Alphabet on Thursday, ain't pretty.) And she is by far the most unique teacher I've had. She's so sarcastic - like the sarcasm like a drill sergeant would have. This quote progressed very solemnly and then ended with a lazy eye-roll - something she does very well. I love her sarcasm and it's just the sarcasm I like - thus, quote of the day it was dubbed.

Howdy, hey, hi. I'm back - but I never left. See, my Grandpa and Step-Grandma came in yesterday from New Mexico, so I spent the evening with this. Family values. :) That's why I couldn't blog. It's not because I didn't have a worthy topic, trust me, I have a good ones. And this one is like a filler for yesterday because it was pretty colourful yesterday - today was just pretty normal.

Before I introduce the Highlight of the Day, I have two things to say. One; the only reason this blog post title is: Today's Forecast is Total Crap is for two reason. Today's weather was all wacky. I'm on the bus with my friend Abi and Adrian (I have a lot of friends whose names start with A...) and I saw the windshield wippers going on the bus, so I say to them, "Is it seriously raining?" Sure enough. It was.
But, get this, once we actually got to school it was raining harder now but the sun was out and you could clearly tell it was sunny but there was like this humid, hot down-pour. Texas weather is all whacked up and doesn't make much sense.
The second reason is that I feel like total crap right now. I'm kind of winding down a bit by writing this blog post. There's a stomach-bug going around and I'm afraid I have it. After I had finished my lunch today, my stomach was aching... like the feeling when you eat too much and when you're nauseated. That's how I feel now and I just finished a hamburger, tatter-tots, Jalapeno poppers, and some macaroni salad. It's my norm by the way.... and it's starting to wear off... I don't want to get sick! O_O

Okay, now for the highlight of Yesterday! I have math as my third period and I just absolutely love MATH for the first time ever. Another thing you'll never hear me say again. I like the class the subject... eh, not so much. I love the teacher though - she's really nice.
I'm seated right in from of the window on the far end of the room and in front of me is a blonde-hair, barrel-racing, bull-riding cheerleader (oxymoron much?), behind me tall, average, football-player, to my right a fat - oh, I'm sorry, big-boned football-player named Riley who is EXTREMELY tall too. He dwarfs my five-foot four height with his six-foot one. And he's like the class clown too.
There was a out quiz out. I completed it and the entire class was silent as they worked on it. So, I'm in a peaceful Zen writing at my desk with SUDDENLY out of friggin' no where this Hippo silly-band (You know those things right?) flies onto my desk. I flinch and spin around and everyone starts to laugh quietly around me. A girl with lush, golden lockets and cowboy boots laughs and whispers, "Sorry, Chelsea." She points at the guy behind me, "I was trying to hit him." I laugh and throw it back at her.
I got back to writing, ignoring all the snickering around me as they are playing with silly-bandz and now a ELEPHANT flies onto my desk, skinning my cheek. I snatch it up and throw it, not caring where it went so on the floor it went. More laughter and the same dilemma.
I couldn't pay attention to writing so I decided to watch the raging battle around me. Everyone had the silly-bands and they were snapping them on each other and flinging them. I'm sooo questioning how my math teacher didn't see all of this. Silly-bandz are flying and hitting people and people are screaming silently and suppressed laughs. It was funny.
Behind Riley sits this really short, skinny, blonde-haired boy and he gets one of the silly-bands and snaps it on the back of Riley's neck. He screams quietly and slumps over his desk. His face was so priceless, it was so hard not to laugh out loud.

That was my Highlight of Yesterday. (I didn't have a Highlight or Quote for today) The silly-bandz war in math class...

Onto the the topic: Boyfriends and Girlfriends. The one I've been saving so I shall blog now so I don't have to keep procrastinating on this one. And frankly, I want to write about it anywho.

Lemme start by saying this, consider these points before saying yes to the ominous question: "Do you want to go out with me?"

• Are you going to possibly marry this guy or girl?
• Are you actually going to talk?
• Do you want to live the rest of your life together?
• Are you annoyed in any way?
• Are you just doing it for the looks?
• Is he actually good-looking?
• Do YOU like him?
• Does HE like YOU?
  
• Do you want to have a kid with him?

I bet you rejected about... just about all of them. But it's all true. If you get a boyfriend, there's a possibly that you will get married to them. Boyfriends and girlfriends aren't normally the type of things you can just give out like party-favours. They are relationships and they sometimes can't be taken loosely. I honestly have never had a REAL boyfriend because I declined about half of these. Yes, I know these are a bit drastic but they're all true! I KNOW no one as a high schooler wants to have a kid (PLEASE tell me you agree with me...) and mostly likely doesn't want to get married yet.

I remember reading somewhere that if you get a boyfriend, you're basically saying that I could possibly marry this person. I can't remember where I read that though...

It's a lot of work - just don't get a boyfriend if you don't have one. If you're a viewer that has a boyfriend or girlfriend, I'm not telling you to ditch him. If you're like totally in love, fine, I have no problem. Be safe! :) I'm mainly talking about the people who need a "girlfriend-or-boyfriend" figure in their life to feel whole which is bullshit.

I have people at my school who have boyfriends off and on. Like one day they're dating some and one day they're dating a new person that you totally don't see a connection in. Most relationships aren't the traditional ones, yeah sure they hold hands, big deal but do they actually LOVE each other. Probably not. And they're probably just doing it too for the looks which I just think is SAD.

Geez, I'm loosing my train of thought. I think the sickness is getting to me.

That'll conclude my blog post. Don't get a boyfriend unless you plan on doing the bulleted objectives. And please comment and tell me things I forgot to mention and you know if you ever need advice, please ask. I can help with anything. :)
