song of the day: Blunderland by Skating Polly

so one thing you learn fast about me is that i am not interesting. my irl friends will tell you this is not true, and some will say i have main character energy with the way i dress and act. i do not; nothing interesting happens to me, im just eccentric. im more likely the character who shows up once because they’re too hard to draw. but enough self deprecation.

today started off the same as all the others: wake up, try to stay awake, fail, try again, get ready, go to the bus stop. it was cold this morning, and the clouds threatened rain, but nothing came about. its always late, but today was a later day- around 20 minutes rather than the usual 15. 

lucky for me i got through the metal detector without it going off. that was a shock, because it normally goes off on me. i don’t really get it, because the only metal things i have are parts of my binder, my tablet, some cans, and a water bottle. i can never predict when it will or won’t go off, but i digress.

we investigated white powders in forensics. they were all cutting agents (teacher’s words, not mine.) so nothing that i hadn’t handled before. i had a white monster and got the jitters, but no paranoia so that’s awesome. white monsters are always hit or miss with that side effect, but never with any of the colored ones. red40 is on my side always.

my choir director left for a trip today, so we had a sub. normally, that means we don’t have to do anything, but this guy wanted us to sing our whole setlist for some reason. we were all like WHAT, but did it regardless. the rest of the time i spent updating my profile to look cooler. it would have been more fun but my best friend wasn’t there today.

it was still cold outside during lunch, with a little bit of mist. the weather keeps teasing us with rain but only gives it when we sleep. anyway, i pushed through and walked myself over to a restaurant and had some chicken nuggets. i also got some reading done on my book (Rebel Girls by Elizabeth Keenan, really good if you like punk rock chicks) while listening to Skating Polly.

english was nothing. we never do anything in there. our teacher just sits there and lets us do whatever we want, which is why i wrote the first draft of this while in the class. i guess technically i should have been writing my report on Christopher Marlowe and the play Doctor Faustus, but that would be so boring. i hate boring.

government was actually interesting, though. we’ve had a sub ever since our teacher left us to be an assistant principal at a different school, so everything has been slow. we’ve done packets every week, and its so not cool, but there was a drill today! we got to leave class and go down stairs for like 10 minutes, doing our tornado drill shelter. the irony of it was that we were sitting right next to windows, so it would have done nothing if there was an actual tornado. but we got out of class, so it helped.

anyway, gov just ended so i’m going home. ttyl
