The Second Worst Decision of My Life So Far

Just to let you know, I've changed a few things about my blog. The layout is a bit different. The quote is all the way at the bottom of the page. I think it's necessary there. I have a search bar since my blog posts are getting pretty daily and getting extensive. I'm actually managing to sit out about three to five blog posts a week which is pretty good. I'm actually living up to my word... That's the first. I have a COHJ Alert, that's for whenever I post another revisited chapter of COHJ, just for those who want to know. Blog Archives, yeah, dandy. And the "About Me" thing... I'm thinking about changing that. It sounds too formal... -.- Blog posts of course. What's Popular!? Just basically tells you what posts are the most viewed 'n crap. I just put it there to even out the two sides. I will TRY to have a weekly poll and this one is about to be over. I'll definitely do another once that one is up. And Followers.
OH YES! Also, at the bottom of this post four little check-mark boxes saying, "Funny" "Interesting" "Cool" and "Huh?" next to them. Those are your reactions. Check off one of those boxes and give me a one click response of what you think of the blog post. If you have any requests for little check-mark boxes, that's would be awesome just comment and tell me!
Yeah, just wanted to get that established. And I am ever-so daring as to put my email address in the COHJ Alert box. Don't stalk me, it's not worth it.

Here's what happened to ME today!

First of all, I had a Spanish test and you all know how absolutely fond I am of Spanish... and I made an 89 on it for three things, 1, it was an ORAL test!! I had to sit in front of my teacher and she had to ask me questions like... Hola. ¿Como estas? and: ¿Como te llamas? And stuff! 2, I mispronounced the word "telephone" in Spanish. 3, I forgot a verb in a sentence. Lol. Oh well, I passed so whatever! That class is a pass or fail so it doesn't matter.

I'm in activity and girl who sits diagonal from me suddenly says, "Oh, there you are." and she began to dig into her back pocket. I'm reading, so I don't know if she's talking to me. She's an Office Aide, she works in the office (obviously) and it's the front office so she takes like phone calls and comes over the announcements to call people whenever they're parents or something is there for them. Yeah, yeah.
But she WAS talking to me. She hands me a small, thin, folded piece of paper. I open it and it says this: I was going to take a picture of it and post it here but I'm too lazy... BLEH! I'm going to describe it for you with my awesome, epic, writer skills of madness and epicness. Yeah, you know it. Ahem

Message: (In beautiful, narrow script) Bring home her chocolate today! <3 style="font-style: italic;">Do I have any chocolate in my lunch? No. Did I take some chocolate this morning? No. Did she order something? No - I don't think. So, I went during passing period (between the bell rings') and called my mom back. Naturally, my mom didn't answer because she's at work. (She makes pies, isn't that amazing!!) and so I left a message like, "Chocolate. Seriously, chocolate. What chocolate are you talking about?" And yadda-yadda.

Math comes and it's almost over when my math teacher comes over and hands me another thin, folded, piece of paper and this one says:

OOH! Now that makes more sense. Yes and my last name is once again spelled wrong. I have an Italian last name come ON it's not that hard to spell. And the date is STILL wrong. Does ANYONE know what today is? Is it seriously the 10th?! WHY YES IT IS. Geez, why is the date so hard to get...

After all the miss-communication, I'm ready to go for my topic.

I'm only 13 and I've made many mistakes in my life because I'm human and I'm a teenager. But there are two mistakes that are undoubtedly the worst of all that I've ever made. One was taking Girls Athletics in 7th grade. WORST MISTAKE EVER. And I bet your thinking, Oh, it's not so bad... YES IT WAS! I kid you not, those coaches were trying to kill us!!
To begin with, I'm not an athletic person at all. That would probably not even RANK of the list of traits for me. I'm not out of shape (I'm healthy! :D) no I'm not even close to being over weight. But I just don't like sports. They've never really been... whats the word... NATURAL for me as other academic activities have done and excelled at. It might have been that softball my dad accidentally pegged me with when I was seven, I don't know. I did Softball (AND SOFTBALLS AREN'T SOFT) for a season when I was like seven or eight. And I did Volleyball for about three seasons which is roughly a year and a half. I didn't particularly "enjoy it" but I didn't hate it. It got me pumped on Saturday?
But I went through an entire summer of doing ABSOLUTELY nothing - just sitting on my butt reading or writing or playing video games or something that has seared my brain cells or something. And then I come to like BOOT CAMP. I swear, we would run a mile sometimes and it sucked. But if we had to run a mile, we knew we were in the clear. That meant that the coaches - DEMONS - weren't going to pull any of their fast ones. Sometimes we'd spent the entire class period (hour and a half) just doing agonizing warm ups. UGH! We did, I kid you not, 120, YES REPEAT 120 sits ups. I got ABS man! Not anymore. :) Ahh, it is sooo indescribable. I would come out of there, face beat-red... Ugh. I see the seventh graders come out of there normal looking and I gawk and think, "HOW THE HECK ARE THEY NOT RED!" I don't get it. Lol.

Now for the SECOND worst decision of my life

FAKE FINGERNAILS!

If I haven't said already, I have the worst habit. I bite my nails down to the stub and still manage to chew something off. Just a habit I developed. I've tried everything! Nail polish remover, lemon juice, hot sauce, everything! I have a very tolerate tongue so I like hot sauce on EVERYTHING. Just ask Adrian. On Monday, I got some from Walgreens, thinking, "Oh, I'm going to stop my nail biting for sure with these things!"

What was I thinking! Yeah sure they looked as fake as ever, but they were annoying as hell! I mean, my life was like slowed down by three minutes because of those STUPID things. They were long too. They were the type with the french tip and they already had glue on them, so they just stuck right on. And I put them on Monday and I couldn't do ANYTHING! For crying out loud, it took me 5 flippin' minutes to pull up my jeans because I was afraid my nail was peel off or get caught or something! How pathetic is that!!!!! I couldn't type either! I was typing at like HALF my speed which is slow and they would keep getting caught between the keys and CRAP!! It's STUPID! WORST MISTAKE EVER!
I was at trumpet tutoring and... Whenever you hold the trumpet you have to but you right hand thumb between some valves and I couldn't do it because of the 10 CM long THING protruding from my finger tip! So I said, "Screw this... I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!" And tore them all off. Don't worry, it didn't hurt at all. Just for those who worry... lol

So, what are some of your worst mistakes? Would you care sharing? I'd LOVE to hear them. And don't forget to the do the check-mark thing. I want to hear your reactions and stuff. It takes just one click. I don't think one CLICK out of your life is going to matter.

In conclusion, I lasted two days with those things... TWO DAYS. And ADIOS, Bon Voyage, Good-bye, tootles, BYE! Go find someone else's life to screw with.

Tootles,
