I never thought I'd like baked lays. *continues the munching* Yummy . . . Anyway, what's been up . . . lessee . . .

I didn't do so well on the Latin trip in the finals. u.u;; Or team got smashed up pretty bad. But before that, we did super in the elimination round. ^.^ Although I missed a question that I will never forget.
"Who what the second king to Rome?"
"Numa . . . Tullius?"
"Wrong, it is Numa Pompellius." ((I probably spelt that wrong sweatdrop ))
Neara's favorite king . . . she was just ranting about him the night before. U.U
Like I said, Mythology is my area. I had loads of fun though. Ate a bit too much but that's okay! Trips are meant to be a time for over-indulging. ^.^ Go Subway! That's what we had. 'Hello, my name is Alacris and I am a supported of Subway.' xp

Drama class is getting more entertaining. We played a few fun games and had a great time. Improv was hilarious. I'm admired by many now. O.o;; It kind of makes me a little nervous but I think it's good that I'm making myself known in a new school with all new people. There's one person I do greatly admire and I guess that's where I get my enthusiasm from.

I'm becoming more and more like myself -- the way I once was. And it's a good thing. I missed being happy and able to help people. I'm content. *bows head* Hehehe.

I'm reading a book that angers me. Stupid government! >.< They get little kids to kill each other! I am going to finish it. I'm surprised I've gotten as far as I have in such little time. It's a pretty big book too. It's a japanese version of Lord of the Flies. A friend of mine in Brit. Lit. recommended it to me because he always sees me with Mangas. I do like it . . . but I hate it at the same time. Oh, such a paradox! ((I think that's the right word. >.< wink )

You know . . . I find it funny that one day some girls walk by me and say that I'm 'nasty-looking' -- because I 'stole' their table at lunch. ((It was MY table first and YOU stole it from us!)) And then the next day I'm 'beautiful,' 'gorgious,' 'lovely,' and from my more eccentric friends 'sexy.' *chuckles* It was mostly my drama class but it made me feel a lot better. I went and got my hair cut and all that jazz because of those jerks that decided I was 'nasty-looking.' Feh, I know I'm pretty. *laughs* I just don't think I'm drop dead sexy and I don't flaut anything. If I do, then it's a joke. But, as I said, it was most kind of them who commented on my outfit.

I've been having to work a lot recently. Someone just called and asked if I'd go in for them and I said 'no.' *laughs* I was nicer about it . . . but I don't like to work days consecuatively. ((spelling . . . >.< )) My legs hurt anyways from the last past two days. ((I didn't have my sneakers so I had to wear my boots.)) I'm really starting to hate my job though -- in all my recent optimism. xp They stick me with people who don't know what the hell they're doing or ones who expect me to do /everything./ It gets really annoying. I'm thinking about finding a new job sometime soon. But first . . .

My mom might be getting a house! Yay! I can move back in with her! We had our differences . . . and she did screw up pretty bad . . . but she's still my mom and I need one. I'm not ready to be by myself in the world . . . it's hard. I still have another year before I'm supposed to do that.

*grins* I helped a girl today . . . well, I consuled her. She's not having much of a family life right now either. *frowns* She started to cry and I talked to her for a little bit and asked the teacher if she could go wash her face before class started. She told me she was a little better after lunch today. I'm glad I could help her . . . the little bit that I did help her. I was thinking about it, after I saw her at lunch, that if I was someone else I'd be amazed at how I am with people. I don't really think highly of myself, but others have told me that I am a great person. Before I talked to that girl . . . I was talking with two of my other friends about advice. One of which greatly appriciates the advice I've given her -- the other just listened because she's never needed it. Heheh. Anyway . . . they said I was good a giving advice on psychological matters. I am putting that on the list of things I want to work on -- as in possibly persuing a career.

Anyway . . . I better get off here. *laughs* Neara will be home soon enough and I think I want to go read this evil book some more.
