Teetered back and forth but has made the finals on the "Nice" list. Naughty marks for skipping baths, hiding junk food in bedroom and staying up too late. Is sweet to parents and little kids, though. Really came through with plenty of "please" and "thank you's." Was especially well behaved the last week of last month. Has a good chance of clinching a "Nice."

sheila, last night at lord of the rings, the line was unbeleivably long, and who should i see at the front but good old geoff, but he wouldn't let me cut, mainly becuase i thought he was gay, but after i clarified that he still wouldn't then i offered him 2 dollars and then according to him i was just cheap, so after the cop started eyeing me for trying to cut i gave in and went to the back, but i just felt the need to tell on him to you. so if you can find it in your heart for christmas and you happen to see him, give him a really really hard time

i thought of a riddle while listening to miles davis hit single, so what...it goes something like this
i stand on a stand
am often recited with a hand
i read like a book
but don't have that look
at me you can peer
but also can hear
anyone can see me
but few can read me.
what am I?
i know some of the rhymes don't match but give me a break i thought of it in like 10 minutes
The answer- sheet music

If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous
scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had
been stolen...and replaced by exact duplicates." His mind sees things
differently than we do, to our amazement and amusement. Here are some
more of his gems:
1- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2- Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.
3- Half the people you know are below average.
4- 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5- 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6- A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
7- A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
8- If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
9- All those who believe in psycho-kinesis, raise my hand.
10- The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the
cheese.
11- I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met.
12- OK, so what's the speed of dark?
13- How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
14- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked
something.
15- Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16- When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17- Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
18- Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.
19- I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
20- If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21- Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
22- What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23- My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your
horn louder."
24- Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
25- If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
26- A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
27- Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
28- The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the
bread.
29- To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is
research.
30- The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
31- The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
32- The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be
on it.
33- Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film!

just a little something for y'all for finals!!!
Finals are like GUYS:
~they're hard to understand
~they're easy to cheat on
~some are harder than others
~they put pressure on you to perform well
~they were created to make our lives hell
~you can work for hours and still get no satisfaction
~some take longer to finish than others
~you still feel like shit the next morning
~some aren't as nice as you expect
~if you're drunk when you do them, it doesnt feel so bad
~when its all over, you will either have a big smile or a big frown on your face

i just want to let it be known by all that i OFFICIALLY hate the band directors at klein. each and every one of them. HOW LONG DID I BEG AND PLEAD TO NOT HAVE TO WEAR THAT STUPID DRESS?! HOW MANY TIMES DID I SWEAR I'D FIND A GOOD PAIR OF PANTS AND MATCHING SHIRT FOR THE BSCL GIRLS TO WEAR?!?! yeah...i leave and GUESS WHAT?! y'all wear pants. the more i hear, the move i've decided they just really really hated me. and i think i'm finally becoming ok with that. I'M OK WITH IT! i don't like them either so i hope they're happy with what they've done. i think when i get home from college i'm going to pay them a visit and tell them what i REALLY think. *LAZERS!!!!!*

A College Christmas
Twas the night before finals,
And all through the college,
The students were praying
For last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy,
But none touched their beds,
While visions of essays
danced in their heads.
Out in the taverns,
A few were still drinking,
And hoping that liquor
would loosen up their thinking.
In my own apartment,
I had been pacing,
And dreading exams
I soon would be facing.
My roommate was speechless,
His nose in his books,
And my comments to him
Drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee,
And brewed a new pot,
No longer caring
That my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes,
But my thoughts were muddy,
My eyes went ablur,
I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help,"
I said with a shiver,
But each place I called
Refused to deliver.
I'd nearly concluded
That life was too cruel,
With futures depending
On grades had in school.
When all of a sudden,
Our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put It Off
Ambled inside.
Her spirit was careless,
Her manner was mellow,
She started to bellow:
"What kind of student
Would make such a fuss,
To toss back at teachers
What they tossed at us?"
"On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes!
On Last Year's Exams!
On Wingit and Slingit,
And Last Minute Crams!"
Her message delivered,
She vanished from sight,
But we heard her laughing
Outside in the night.
"Your teachers have pegged you,
So just do your best.
Happy Finals to All,
And to All, a good test."

you people need to update u're blogs, except for miree. idk, but i'm thinkin of the bringing out the admin nazi on you people. by the way his name is Gunther. especially you katie, yes YOU dont' look so smug, once every couple months isn't good enough. Gunther says that if you don't update soon he's going to have to take "extreme measures" but he said it in a really thick german accent. i wouldn't mess with the guy. oh wait, sheila's is doin pretty good SO FAR!!
