21 Days & Counting

Sometimes I don't mind to think about you but I don't want to want you.
I've begged myself not to beg you because I wouldn't miss missing you.
I don't care to care about you, but I'd hate to hate you.

Aly, you didn't miss anything. I carted my family around all day.
I get George to myself tomorrow though.
ALSO, I got to see Permeling :D
We saw Avatar.
It was much better the first time.
I wonder why. <--dripping with sarcasm

argh.
goodnight.

The Good, The Bad & The Incredibly Strange

I just love how I have the patience to blog, but nothing happens so as soon as I lose patience, everything happens.
Sweet.
ohboy. Astronaut just sent me a link. I'm about to get really distracted *moves mouse to link* ...NONONO DO NOT CLICK THE YOUTUBE LINK DO NOT CLICK THE YOUTUBE LINK MOLLY DO NOT CLICK THE FREAKING YOUTUBE LINK!! YARGH!
*sigh* defeat. here. it's so true.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCjcMZ2g6r0&feature=channel

Astronaut is a great friend to have around, but sometimes the amount of nerdiness that accompanies conversation with him is unbearable. I really want to shoot him with stupid... I'm currently making plans with Rorito :D I'm reallyreally excited. We're going ice skating! WOO!

Anyways, back to what I got on here for. I think I'm going to start this out with something incredibly weird.
I just had cranberry juice for the first time since before Thanksgiving break ended, which was like...over a month ago. It's bizarre, and I'm not sure why, but I just haven't wanted it.
Here's where it gets more interesting than my drinking habits:
OOH. Speaking of which, red > white...even though my cranberry juice weirdness has nothing to do with that.

YEAH. SO. I didn't blog yesterday so I'll start there. I went with my family to church and had to acolyte at 10 which was uneventful except for the fact that they had me carry a cross for the first time ever and it kept wobbling and hitting things! AUGH! *fail* I came home afterwards and did pretty much nothing (I could get a master's degree in that by now.) until about 1:45. Benjamin had been planning a gathering at Starbucks for quite some time. As far as I was supposed to know, it was going to be me, Benjamin, his sister. We shall call her Michael xD only beacuse she was Michael Jackson for Halloween and I can't think of anything else at the moment. Also ummmMickey who is another sorta mutual friend was going to be there. Although Benjamin never explained why he had it planned so far in advance, I figured it out about a week ago. Needless to say, I wasn't too surprised when Benjamin walked in with Michael AND his girlfriend (We'll call herrr Robin) who is made of awesome. I was SO HAPPY to finally be able to meet her! She's a crazily crafty little genius, and she and Benjamin are an absolutely adorable couple, but they're like... whipped squared. Also, Robin was a little handsy to Benjamin which made me a little upset that Benjamin would allow it all 1) around me and 2) in public.
Oh well. That's not important right now.

After sitting around and talking and such for a while, we noticed a particularly odd-looking old(ish) man sitting about 5 tables away from us.
They all told me I should just go sit down over there with him.
*sigh* they should have known I actually would.
I'm kinda glad I did! We ended up talking for a good while about school, studying abroad, Europe* and other such topics. He actually works at Starbucks, but he recently quit his other job to be a writer (EPIC. WIN.) I could have talked to him for a whole heck of a lot longer than I did, but they all called me back over to the table where they were. When I sat back down and told them about my conversation with Mr. Notreallyacreeper, Benjamin suggested we go to CVS. Pharmacies are always fun with friends. Aly and I have been yelled at or kicked out of every single one around here, but that's not the point.

We looked at a bunch of cards and I took creeper pictures of Benjamin & Robin :] *proudofself* After a while, mothers began to arrive. Benjamin's mom came to get Benjamin & Robin & Michael, and then my mom showed up in George. Mickey's mom arrived soon thereafter. I'm convinced that mothers have this magical child sense because they all just KNOW when to show up.
Sadly, that was the most interesting part of my day yesterday.

TODAY was pretty exciting! (George = dad's/my car--yeah sharing a car for a while. It's going to be interesting.)
My mother FINALLY gave me permission to get my license (W00!) so this morning we called the DMV to make sure we had everything we needed to bring. Apparently we were missing some little insurance thing, so we went to get that from the Farm Bureau somethingoranother before going to the DMV where we only waited about 10 minutes. The test was incredibly easy which was a relief. I think everyone must have that moment where they hit a milestone like that and everything that goes through their head is something to the effect of "I'm the bomb!"and then they realize that a bazillion other people in the world have been here before them. That's a bit of a downer, but it's still exciting to do something like get your license.

All I wanted to do afterwards was go somewhere BY MYSELF. Unfortunately for me, mother dear had other plans. She made me cart her around for another couple of agonizingly mom-filled hours before having me go home so she could take my brother and his friend to the movies in George since dad had the other car at work. When we got home, I realized that she wasn't planning on leaving for another twenty minutes, so I paid Kangaroo a short visit (first time I drove by myself)! I got George when mom came back from dropping the boys off, too. I creeped Bingo & Crant...well I sorta creeped Crant. I had to give him one of Aly's business cards...which in all honesty was mostly for his madre who wasn't there at the time. I got to see his sister though which was a happy thing! The two of them had been watching LOTR which is a major win...except after being there for a few minutes, I started to feel awkward, (urgh.) so I left.

After leaving Crant's, I creeped Bingo. Aly, you would be proud to know that I let Shark in the house! {INFILTRATION!} He was eating soup which he had spilled down the front of his shirt xD it looked funny. I actually ended up talking to his mom quite a bit which was nice because she's highly entertaining. I even got to see embarassing photos of Bingo! :D
Inevitably, (because I was there) we wound up on the subject of Crant.
Crant, Mrs. Hebert says she doesn't like you, she's mad at you, she's going to hit you, and wants to know where you live. I find this rather amusing.
:)
My mom texted me a little while later though and I had to go home. I didn't do much other than that today except my brother and I went to pick something up from Grammy & Grandaddy's...and we got Chick-Fil-A on the way home.
Yep. That's my day.

Um. Aly took a train yesterday which had me unreasonably nervous because I started writing this story (which I should work on) in which one of the characters is taking a train from Paris to Frejus which ends up going for a swim at the bottom of a lake.
She's fine though. She met her host family & says that her sister is awesome and her brother is like MY brother which is rather unfortunate if you ask me.

Righto. So now I'm going to bed.
Goodnight :)

Christmasness kinda

MERRY CHRISTMAS, INTERWEBZ!

Aly, you didn't miss anything here. I've done absolutely nothing interesting in the past couple days. No joke. I didn't even get out of my pajamas today.

OOH but yesterday we went to church and Benjamin's family NEVER goes anymore and he wanted to go so we took him with us and I drove and he feared for his life except then he didn't and he's still afraid of your driving which I find amusing but I'm sure you don't so...oh well. runonsentencew00t! I can't type any more here tonight. I gotta talk to you.

"No Rest for the Reary"

Quote by mom xD yay tonguetiedness

There's no way I'm going to be sleeping soon. I still have stuff to say so I'm going to try to make it kinda quick so maybe I can actually go to bed.

1) Thanks to Benjamin for always being there for me. You're one of the best friends anyone could ask for.
2) I didn't explain anything that's going on in my life in my last post.
*-Crant broke up with me. I still don't know why. I don't think he knows either.
-Coach Wow has to take classes. Sadly, she can't miss 3 days a week of practice & still coach.
-HOPEFULLY SHE'LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR! We all love her and will miss her terribly.
-Aly has gone to France for the next 6 months to study abroad. We miss her too.
3) I'm so tired of crying I could vomit.
4) Keep your friends close. Screw your enemies. (not literally)

I think that's all.
GOODNIGHT!
~Molly

*Correction: He knows. I do too now...oy.

Day 1-Aly

Hiya! Tis Molly, the half in the USA. I'm pretty sure Aly won't be using this blog for a while so it's my precious for the next 6 months.
Aly will be blogging here --> http://alyenfrance.blogspot.com/ -check it out! It's where her French adventures will be documented.

I hate to admit it, but as depressing as it is right now, I guess it'll turn out to be a good thing. It means I'll have to be me, and she'll have to be her. We'll have to find ourselves rather than hiding behind one another when we don't know who we are.

Aly and I have always identified with each other. It's just the way we are, and it has been that way since 7th grade, and that's fine...at least I used to think so.
But see, when the person you've spent 4 years identifying yourself with leaves the country for an extended period of time, it's not. And right now it just flat out sucks because my best friend is gone and everyone else keeps telling me, "You can email, right? You can skype. You can contact her via facebook. It's no big deal."
Frick being positive (at least for now). It's just not the same.
It is too a big deal. I know it'll get better. I've been hearing that for the past 3 weeks. I heard it a million times after the breakup, a million more when the greatest coach in the universe came to practice for the last time in a long time *hoping and praying it wasn't the last time* and a million MORE when my best friend took off to France for the next six months. The best part is that this has all happened in the past 3 weeks...acceptance sucks.
I need my friends. I need their ears and shoulders and supremelymassivegiganticbearhugs because I'm hurting.
But anyways,
day 1 -Aly was interesting.
I was actually dreaming last night (night before last since it's about 12:30am on Christmas eve now) that I had the worst headache of my life & i kept waking up & realizing that I really did have a terrible headache & going back to sleep. Despite the fact that I meant to go to track which started at 10, I slept through my alarm and woke up at 10 & realized that my head hurt like crazy. I would have stayed in bed, but I was meeting an old friend from chorus who graduated last year at Starbucks at about 11. We had been trying to get together since last Friday and I missed her a lot, so it was awesome to get to see her, although it probably would have been more fun if I didn't have a headache or feel dizzy or just flat out crappy. It's okay though because it was totally worth getting out of bed to see her for the first time in a very long time.

After catching up for about an hour, I went home and walked my dogs with my brother. It snowed recently & there are still big ice patches on the trail which have been so frozen, they hold my (rather plump) brother. Needless to say, we spent a lot of time down there. When we came back I did nothing interesting. I cleaned my room and wrapped a present while feeling pretty terrible. woohoo headaches + hiccups.

At about 2:30, Kangaroo & I headed to Bingo's. He wasn't there when we got there, so we snuck into the basement and messed around on his computer until he got there. (We're ninjas.) When he finally arrived, we snacked on some yummy stuff his madre made which was a little scary considering what happened last time I ate something she gave me. We then headed back downstairs to watch Jingle all the Way, There's Something About Mary, & Four Christmases.
We had lots of fun, copied lots of quotes, ate lots of pizza and laughed our heads off. We even ended it all with an epic pillow fight. I accidentally kicked Matt in a place that no male wants to be kicked, and hit him in the throat with a pillow...oops. I guess it was payback for hitting me on the head which felt AWESOME because I've had a headache all day.

OK I'm going to throw this in here-the bathroom is right next to my room and the toilet keeps making weird noises and it sounds like a freaking dragon and it's making me wish I could be a Blufrican and life in Smurf Space Africa (some people understand this. Go see Avatar. Now.)

Overall I'd have to say the day wasn't bad. However, emotions all seem to be magnified at night so when I read Aly's blog, I kinda wanted to bang my head on the desk a few bazillion times.
Here are some amazing quotes from earlier that I don't want to forget:
oh and I'm not going to explain them because they're more fun without explanations...
"If the dog catches on fire, I might pee myself." (the dog caught on fire RIGHT after this was said...but nobody peed so it was okay)
"What happpened?" "THE DOG CAUGHT ON FIRE! *hysterical laughter*"
"I'm really glad he's on top of me."
"It's TURBO TIME!"
"Did you make my hole bigger?"
"ADD IT TO THE LIST!"
"I've been practicing on Aly"
"Arnold Schwarzenegger was in that movie?"

yepyep. So I'm going to bed now because it's about 1:30 and I have a busy day tomorrow!
Goodnight & Merry Christmas!
~Molly

Monday = EUGH

GUESS WHAT! It has been 4,567,876,543,456,789,876,345,678,012,435,984 years since either of us have blogged.
That's sad...especially since the cause of the lack of bloggedness is just life. But anyways, my apologies.
SO starting with today (or yesterday since it's about 1am)
Yesterday was Monday. Mondays around here have been pretty yucktastic lately. The weather has been dreary (which tends to put people in sulky/grumpy/altogether awful moods) and the schoolwork has been piled on. In fact, both of us were up till around 3:00am a week or 2 ago doing homework which is a killer of valuable sleep time. Homework is a waste of paper, time, and effort that gets "checked" by certain teachers at the WORST possible times which facilitates the doom of many otherwise good grades. Teachers simply don't understand that if they expect us to do well in their classes, they have to give us time to rest and recover from the day's crammage of information into our minds. JEEZ.
There wasn't anything particularly bad about today...except...the weather, the ALMOST getting to skip school and then not being able to, the being late to dr. g's class of evil after running out the door without brekkie & forgetting to print off english homework, remembering that I have a big butt paper due next week along with having to read a book by next Monday and do a bunch of busywork Precis things, the fact that I forgot to go finish my APES test during 2nd lunch, the fact that I did a bunch of terms for APUSH that my teacher never checked even though he said he was going to, the boredom in Spanish (which is very rare) and the running with all superfast people for half an hour...oh and messing up my solo in chorus :[ Mrs. BT gave me a hard time about...existing.
I don't think anyone had a good Monday yesterday.

...so much for putting something positive in here. Sorry guys...
Yeahso I'm exhausted and I keep almost falling asleep typing which I'm sure would be interesting but I really want to go to bed so goodnightynightnight!
