My friend, the outcast.

Today, we had lunch together, as normal as that can be. We talked about paintball, upcoming events, and classes, the usual. Kenzie was upset majorly, the usual. But this time, someone answered her plea for help. Kenzie wanted to know why no one talks to her. So Bambi just basically answered something sorta like this: "Well, you're loud, you talk a lot, and you're freakin' annoying." (Huh. He was a poet, and he didn't know it!) Kenzie was appalled! I could tell so, because she asked me tearfully… Continue

Boundaries and why we have them.

Ah boundaries. A great subject for sex-ed this past Friday. Marshelia had a brilliant activity for us this week. The lesson was boundaries and why they are there. Amongst many snickers from our class, (which Kenzie is trying fruitlessly to fix.) Marshelia brought out a tiny goldfish in a plastic container. She told us to name it. Automatically I yell out the first two names that come to mind, Shawn (that's O'kelly.) and Fabio. (I don't really know why) In the class before us they named it after… Continue

The art of Marching (from the eyes of a newbie).

OK, so today, we started marching. I'm pretty good at it and, with minor adjustments I think I can definitely make it into Comp. band next year. But that is besides the point. The point is, the picture you visualize when thinking of me and my friends marching. Here it is, in full detail:

We get off one of the bright smack-in-the-face yellow school buses by the Band Room, but instead go out to the Football Stadium. It is a dull gray outside and is freezing cold! Dillon and Cooper are… Continue

Pesky Preps.

So, judging from my lack of comments, you all seem to be a very incognito group of people. that's cool, I can work with that. But what Zach Censoredesurname did today...no, not so much.

You see, me and my band people hang out a lot, especially at lunch. Among the cliques in our school, I am part of two, Band Nerds and Choir People. (you're only a Choir Queer if you're a guy in choir) I always sit with my Band peoples, as it is the larger clique. We have our own table on the west side… Continue

Hilarity Ensues

Testing week is finally over! Finally! It's a good thing too, because things have been a little loopy at my school lately. Here are some examples:

1. Mr. O'kelly (My most favorite band director.) has been using some in interesting metaphors lately. I mean, he's known for making kids laugh, throwing in hidden life lessons, and being a bit eccentric, which can be a little...interesting at times. His metaphors have ranged from finding the love of your life (and he's only, like, 28,… Continue

Testing, Shootings, and Revisions

Hi people. Well, today started off weird! I woke up to my normal radio station talk show hosts, like I normally do, but I didn't hear laughing. I started listening and they were talking about the VA tech massacre. I went to school listening to them talk and talk about how horrible the world is and how sad it was. It sure was a day brightener. We took many detours because they were fixing just about every road on our route, making us ten minutes late! Oh, and the weather was weird too. It was… Continue

My Head Hurts...

Hi again! Well, it's Saturday and it started off rainy with a 100% chance of scrambled eggs and toast. Then my Mom and I picked up a gag gift for my very pregnet youth director. Then, I went on the computer and played video games. And here I am. What to do, what do do?

...

Hmm...I'll Have to get back to you on that one. My head hurts...

In the mean time, Lots 'o Hugs, Amanda.

Is anyone home?

Hellos. I'm Amanda! I live in the small suburb of Nunyobuissness outside of the large metropolis Nonamerevealed in the state of (wait for it...) Formetoknowandyoutonotfindout. Yeah, try and introduce yourself to out-of-towners like that all the time! Any who, I'm Amanda, and I am a singer/writer/musician/actress/comedian, more easily boiled down to entertainer, or entertainer-in-training, as I like to call myself. You know, one of those artsy peoples. I sit at the band table at lunch, fight for… Continue

Breaking the ties, Parades, and Formalities

So, do you remember last week about how Kenzie had no friends, was an outcast and how I was her only friend? I invited her to come over and watch a movie and hang out today at three, and at three o' four, she called and made some lame excuse about her dad's car being broken. Like I'd believe that as an attorney of law he could keep a job with a broken car? I'm done with this. I tried to be her friend and then she probably had something better to do, and she ditches me? What a… Continue
