i rolled my eyes in fury when i glanced at our spice rack. for one thing, the butter seasoning (used to produce utterly delicious corn pop) is sitting right by the rosemarry, which is tacky of it. i don't know what fred meyers was even thinking, but it was a dumb think, when they colored the plastic container yellow. like as if they didn't know that it would go next to the rosemerry. cause excuse me but the rosemerry is in a glass antique vase which gives the entire kitchen a rustic down home feel which is completely DESTROYED by the shabby shoddy presence of that PLASTIC WHATCHAMUCOLIT THAT HOSTS OUR BUTTER SEASONING USED TO PRODCUE UTTERLY DELICIOUS CORN POP!

mostly a's

you're a wild hyper crazy freak and you need to learn to settle down. try yoga or some breathing excercises once or twice a day, and take baths in lavender syrup and mock-oatmeal flakes.

mostly b's

you're a lazy bum and you watch football. try a quad shot cappichino to kick off your day, or, if you'd like a more disgusting approach, drink some red bull.

mostly c's
order a quad shot cappichino and then take a lavender bath.

Topic Sentence: The Cottage is refreshing in the morning.

Supporting Facts:

• There aren't as many people
• The regular cottage-blend coffee is fresh

Paragraph 1: Because it was early (8:00 a.m.), it was understandable that there weren't hardly any people. I admit, I felt a little out of place, being the only ___ year old, sweaty and red-faced, and wearing kinda cruddy looking sweat pants and a sweatshirt, but I got over myself. I had Leslie's and my notebook with me, and it was so much easier to write when there wasn't music playing or a ton of people chattering or baby's screaming or buildings exploding.

Paragraph 2: Ok, I don't know zactly how long I can talk about fresh coffee, but I'll shoot for roughly 69 words.

I would like to begin by saying that cottage has a fantastic taste for coffee. that should be a given (that coffee shops have a nice coffee taste, i mean), but it's NOT. STARBUCKS tastes a little watery, sometimes. sometimes always. Cottage, on the other hand, which is NOT a billion dollar business, makes a strong, but not TOO strong, perfectly ballanced mixture of water and finely ground bean.

FRIK! that's 68.

There is no paragraph 3. Now I'm just going to talk.

So anyway, this was supposed to be sort of a mind-clearing excersize, and it was in a way. The thing is, I have so much trouble with clearing my thoughts. Which was kind of why silent meeting was unsuccesful for me. If God was telling me something, I guess she was probably whispering whereas any other thing i might have thought was screaming in comparison. So I still need to work on that.

See what kind of things evolve when you skip a day of school?

between two and three, dang it.

dang it. i'm in between two and three. three feels a little tight and two feels a little lose. they practically slide the whole entire way down on two. and on three it isn't, like, WOW THAT'S REALLY SQUEEZED but not like WOW THAT'S REALLY NOT SQUEEZED, either. so you see where i'm stuck here? i'm thinking of just punching in another hole, but i'm afraid that at some inoppurtune moment they're gonna break and i'll have to use a peice of string.

oh yeah i was talking about my belt, by the way.


and plus, guitar for dummies, which i picked up from the library, turned out to be a hugo dissapointment. like, first of all, it requires reading NOTES. which i can't do. and then plus the chords they taught were ones that i (ever the chord-savvy musician) already knew! plus, to top it all off, put the icing on the cake, and be the last straw ALL AT ONCE the whole entire stupid book was for ELECTTIC guitar. and never once anywhere did it mention that little detail. some clueless doof would havd taken the ELECTRIC GUTAIR on the cover of the book for a sign. but i knew better. i knew better then to actually READ THE REVIEWS before i requested it. glance offhandedly at the cover. or the inside cover. or the first or second page.

so now i just have a DVD of guitar for dummies. then again, the guy on the cover had an inviting aura and a warm smile, so i should be in pretty good shape.

how bout them seahawks

so what happened yesterday, anyway? at school, everyone was trudging around muttering 'how bout them seahawks', grunting and gaffawing stupidly. i mean, yeah! my thought's exactly! what about the seahawks?

now i admit, my eyes weren't glued to the screen, like, 24/7. ok, so, i wasn't in the tv room. ok, i don't think the tv was even on. but anyway, i coudln't exactly follow what was going on. like, the score for one thing? refresh my memory?

now, you would think it'd be simple easy to tell what happened just by the looksa things. not true! i mean, yeah, they either won or they lost. the question is, which was it? i mean, everyone says the same thing either way. it's either, 'huh, huh, how bout them seahawks?", or "ha, ha, how bout them seahawks?"

'huh' and 'ha'. don't even think i didin't try. it's all a matter of where you put the emphasis. like, if they said, hhhhhhhuh, forcefully, with much emphasis on the 'h', not only would it sound trollish, but also like they were trying to take a dump. and if they said, haaaaaaaaaa!, it would sound victorious, like maybe they'd won at fooseball after being continually pummled with harsh, discouring words, or maybe when your mom says ah there's no toothpaste left and you smirk wisely and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze and a drop comes out. like that.

ok, so decide for yourself. whether they won or not it doesn't really matter cause i wasn't there to see it.

sigh...

ahh....i can breath! i'm finished, and here is the final product:

ok now you're gonna have to scroll around.

it's 10:01 pm, i just got back from the first quiz meet. i've gotten over the initial dissapointment of NOT having made it into the top eight, and i'm in a semi-optimistic mood. i've completed 'hallelujah' on my guitar, and i was thinking of moving on to 'i will follow you into the dark' by death cab for cutie. except for that i can't find the chords anywhere. so if anyone has a handy site that basically dolls out death cab lyrics, i'd like the web address. 'guitar for dummies' (both the book and the video recording) are waiting for me at the library, and i'm excited to see if i'll be able to understand any of it. if i can, it'll be a first.

good night. it's 10:04 and i'm beginning to droop. i've sank a few inches from the perky stance i started off in.

tRANSFORMATIONS...

sorry this blog'll look like crap til i fix it.

hard to read...

yes, i know this is hard to read. but i love it anyway. it's weird, the backround is a comic in spanish. and then it's just some patterned paper i found on google. anyway, i'm about ready to start up blogging again. i know i know we've tried this over and over but this time i'm really, really ready to start again. and if you couldn't read this, here you go:

start blogging!
