You know what I’m angry about:

1. Smelling like gasoline.

2. Being grounded.

3. Being grounded.

4. Being grounded.

…Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Tonight was absolutely, in every way, perfect.

The end.

Today was absolute craziness and I shall document it all. First Emili picked me up at eight and we drove to It’s A Grind to get her paycheck. They didn’t have it yet. LAME. So, then we went to school. I got some math done and that English assignment, took my vocab test, blah, blah, blah. Then school was over and Emili and I walked around the block waiting for Gina. We found a really, really nice cat. It was big and orange and absolutely loved me! I’ll be making frequent visits assuming it lives in the house of the front yard it was sleeping in. Then we went to lunch. Then to Urban. I got an owl candle holder thing and a t-shirt. Then to Tucson Thrift where they didn’t have the sunglasses that Emili ordered. Then Emili and I went to Buffalo and prodded around. After that we were off to Abby’s to do a shoot for her headshots. We were there for like three hours while Em was taking photos and editing them. Then I came home. It was an insane day.

I had a really nice night. I went to Emili’s. It’s nice to actually watch Garden State in it’s entirety without falling asleep. It’s a nice movie. It was good for me to relax after I started freaking out about my transition from school to school and when that whole transaction was going to actually take place. Turns out the study guide is not due until Tuesday, which is a really nice relief because I thought it was due tomorrow. Although, I do have a little essay to write for my German class. It will be easy since I took excessive notes. I suppose I’ll be doing that in bed by flashlight. I’ve been doing that often and I really don’t mind it at all. I’ve started my self-portrait today and I look like a scary old man, who’s had way too much to drink. Ah well, it’s not like it’s an admission drawing.

There. A real live post.

A long time ago there was an egg shell from a nest on my roof. Now there’s a rotting bird skeleton outside my window. What a transition.

Hi, I’m Chapman and I’m a happy camper lately. I feel weird writing about things that actually matter in my life on a blog. Also, I feel weird writing about people that matter in here. So, I suck at blogging. But I need a new bed, a big one. I want it to be enormous like Emili’s. I wanted to sleep on it forever. I have a lot of things to look forward to in the near future. (OH MY GOD BECCA I CAN SEE THE UFO OUT MY BACK DOOR!!) I’ll probably start at Artworks next week!

P.S. I suck at blogging. *Runs and hugs real live journals.*

So, I had my appointment at Artworks today! We got lost on the way there despite Emili’s thorough directions. I think it was my parents’ first time downtown. :) So we got there and we sat and talked with the people we needed to talk to and we got a little tour. Everyone seemed really nice despite the stares I could feel on me. (That happens anywhere when you’re “new”.) So, now it’s up to my parents. I’ve told them that I want to go there and I really think they’re open to it. They said that it seems positive. Hopefully it’ll work out!

I’m leaving school early tomorrow to go and check out Artworks. I’m nervous for no apparent reason other than not being able to go there. I’m just afraid that my parents will ask too many questions and make it awkward. Other than that the only negative thing my dad has said about Artworks! so far is ‘liberal’. And that’s only negative to him. It doesn’t really matter to me either way because I have my values. I really, really, really hope that I get to go. They’ve told me not to get my hopes up and that I shouldn’t go this semester, but they’re already way up there. After we have the tour or whatever we’re doing I’ll probably get to go to class with Emili and then drive back to my house after school. :) So, I guess it’s nervous excitement. I feel better about it now. Life is still good. I can’t stop smiling.

Today was exceptional. Firstly, someone told me that I had great hair. Then later on the way to Theatre Kailia handed me a mix CD, which was really nice of her! It totally made my day because no one ever does stuff like that for me. I had a funny lunch. Becca insists on being upset with me about drummermancandy. The weather today was great as well. But, my phone died half way through the day so I couldn’t text Emili. Last night I was up quite late until about twelve. I was thinking it would just be well worth it and I wouldn’t really mind being tired today. Strangely enough I haven’t been very tired at all today. Maybe it’s all that rest I got on my couch yesterday. :)

Oh & look I’m posting, Emili!

I’ve been thinking quite a lot lately. School is bogging me down progressively and I am beginning to hate it. Teachers insult my intelligence, based on their own insecurities and bad moods and my peers horrify me. Thinking about going to a new school, I’ve been watching people and observing them. I’ve been a people-watcher since a very young age. I would latch onto my mother’s friend’s legs and listen to their conversations and then I would run and report to my mother who was pregnant! Anyhow, I’ve been watching people at school and they’re absolutely sickening. The way that they treat each other is repulsive and depressing. If they don’t like the way that someone looks then they don’t like that person. They suggest that you throw things at them or say bad things about them. I never knew that high school would be like this. I thought everyone would have matured a lot more and wouldn’t decrease in maturity and courteousness. I’m not saying I’m not a part of this, or was a part of it. But, I’m done being typical again and I’m done riding around with the norm. I’ll no longer “go with the flow” because the flow generally isn’t moral or right at this point of my life.

Aside from school I’ve been having a good time. I’ve been hanging around Emili quite a bit and it’s refreshing to have nice new friends.
