 It's been a long year. I know it's been less than a year since my last post but I haven't really posted anything since last spring. I'm going to SSC starting this semester. I'm wicked excited. Antissa is back and she has a girlfriend and Lisette has a steady boyfriend who I love. I love Mags too. I'm so happy for all of us. Dad has a job again and I never see him. Snow Pea makes mom smile and Jorje and I still talk. I'm carpooling after vaca every day wit Jyelle, and every so often her boyfriend will drive us in, she says. I told her when I get my lisence I promise I'll let them go in alone and I'll even let them sometimes and hitch a ride with my friend Natalie who goes there now. She said her bf won't care eiter way but I don't know. I can't wait to meet him. I'm so excited. Byebye now all!

 I...
I broke nineteen minutes today.

Im stunned.

It's so boring here. I need something to do. Anything. Anna's in New York. Patty's in Florida. Raphael is in Italy. Jorge is working all day. Amanda lives like forty minutes away. Absolutely nothing to do. Help.

Byeeee, Livejournal.
it's been fun, but i'm done.
ANTISSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<333333333

A happiest of Palm Sundays to everyone. =] And happy Passover tomorrow.
There's only 3 months of school left, and 2 weeks until vacation!! I can't wait. Antissa is coming back and we're going to get together. I love her.
And I've made some plans with other peeps. We'll see what happens. All I feel like doing now is going watching a movie. Letting the last few weeks just sort of wash away. It's been so much work at school and Jorje and I broke up. School has sucked. Damn standardized tests. =`[
My birthday was a looong loooong time ago. Over a month. It was okay. I didn't really do anything. Just sort of chilled. Ate a lot of cake. Watched a Muppets movie. And a lot of music videos. A few people called. We're actually going to the seashore (I like that better than beach) for my birthday the first weekend of April. That should be fun.
So until then.

Talk to me please.

Hi.
It's been what, a week?
Jorje's birthday/Valentine's day was fun. One girl (rrrgh!) caused a a scene by coming to school drunk, but it was fun anyway. I gave him a teddy bear with chocolate and he gave me a bracelet. :) (I got the teddy at the convenience store the day before. I'm a cheapskate x_X) But he loved it. And for his birthday I had strung on a quill pen 'cause he loves to write. And of course I gave him some candy at lunch. :)
I felt weirdly parsimonious and extravagant all day, it was peculiar.
And now my birthday is a week from now! AG! I am so happy. I can't believe how happy I have been since Christmas, when my major concern was Lisette getting hit on by baby boomers. I think things are getting better. Lisette is making arrangements to go to summerschool, which might save her GPA for next year. And Antissa is doing better. I got an email today. Her "condition is stabilized and she should be prepared to advance to the next, less restricted level of socialization in our community." Sounds ghastly. Poor Antissa. :(
And winter track is over. Joel's getting ready for the spring. He wants me to join, but I couldn't. Other sports available are softball, lacrosse, and tennis. I might try tennis or softball. I played softball when I was a little girl. Those were my favorite times.

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
:)

Ugh, so much has happened. I'm going to use numbers to organize it:

1) I GOT MY PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE'S A SHELTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HER NAME IS DAPHNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't say too much about her or I'll really go crazy over it but she is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's got amazing black eyes and the cutest nose and she bumps into things omgomgomgogmomgomgomgomgomg. And here I am being killer ditsy over a silly little pooch. :)
2) I chose my next elective. For next semester: Trig Prep. I'm wicked excited about it. It means sacrificing a time when I could be doing art, but I've got double art and a free period, so I can visit art if I want during free.
3) Mom started dating some dickhead. I think his name is actually Dick. She told us (Lisette and me) that we can only call him "Richard." He calls her "Caro-fine." Insaneeee. Ew.
4) Lisette's at aunt Bora's now. She might be held back and  therefore is switching schools, maybe. Mother calls it a dignity thing. I say screw her. But that's just because I'm uber-pissed off at her for going out with the Dickster.
5) I'm going to be in the math bowl team. CAN'T KILLER WAIT!
6) There's an art show coming up. Gonna be amazing, I know it. I'm going to win! Bwahahaha:)
So long, Dijon,

~Opal 

1. Algebra: 100 =P
2. Geometry: 101
3. History: 87 (stupid neo-Babylonians)
5. English: 90
6. Mandarin Chinese: 86
7. Foreign Languages: 96
8. Arts Integration: 92 (my fourth-worst grade and yet my best. You have to slaver like a wench to get anything decent in art.)
9. Elective (Origami): 94

I was top in geometry and second in algebra. So I'm quite pleased. =]
Also, guess whose getting a puppy??!?!?!? It's Daddy dearest's way of making us stay a little longer, which obviously I have no intent to do, but I happily accept his bribes when they are of this quality. (All those clauses made this sentence WICKED annoying.) =] Two days.
What else, what else...
Joel and I are seeing Blood and Chocolate this evening. Let's hope it's good. Joel set a new record a few weeks ago at track. That was cool.
Okay.

Damn, it's been awhile since my last update. There isn't much to report.
...At.... all.
I've had one midterm alread. For geometry. I do both alg & geom. So now I'm in the computer lab. Doin' my thing until history... ew. Which starts at ten fifteen. Giving me seventeen minutes to keeeell.
I was talking to the English teacher yesterday. She told me I need to stop writing sentence fragments. She said my writing is way too choppy. I said... idc. I don't care about writing. She got piszed. Told me I should care more because I have a lot to say. Is that whoacliche or what?
History is my last midterm. But it's supposed to go til twelve. Agh. How awful. I don't even want to contemplate it. Neo Babylonians anyone?
Right. So. Um. Fourteen minutes now.
I really should be studying. I watched like a million stupid dramas last night. Which I don't normally do. Pathetic. So I don't know the material like BAM. But enough, I guess.
Wish me luck.
Jorje and I are going out for icecream after. He has Latin today. So we'll be working both of us in the cafe. He'll be such a distraction. Lmao.
Okay.
I'ma hit the books now.
Later.
