Sorry I abandoned you guys!! I'm still here and I got some updatin' for yous ;P

Found out my dad has one kidney stone and he's still trying to pass it. The worst part's over (the stone passing through the kidney) and he has no more pain. He has to take two kinds of pills though and they're super strong (they make him lightheaded). Glad it's not cancer.

I had to study my little tush off Wed. night AND Thurs. night. Wed. for this icky U.S. History test (which wasn't that hard, but a few questions caught me off guard. Oh, and I think he took out the in-class essay part--which is ALWAYS a good thing!). Thurs. I had to study for math and english. I did good on the math test and probably did good on the english one. But the teacher dude is soooo weird. I was the last one to finish up my mini-essay responses and he came by and said, "Okay, you have to be done now." Thankfully I just finished and I told him that too. But what a BUTT (I really want to say something else, more than a few words, but.....no. Not that kind of person). He said it in a snotty way like, an impatient way. And we still had 6 minutes of class left!! Sorry I take soooo much time and that I care about my grade. And most accel. english teachers are like, "You're in an accelerated class, so I expect more from you than others." And when most of the class does bad on a writing assignment they're all like, "I expected way more from you guys. You really let me down and blahblahblahblahblah...." Doesn't he want me to do good?? Whatev. I'm just glad I finished the stupid thing.

Friday was the school's pep fest for homecoming and it was.....okay. Last year we had the band playing, strobe lights flashing, AND cool extra activities (a hypnotist, battle of the bands, and guitar hero competitions). This year we had the band play again, a cute competition between the Princes and Princesses and King and Queen involving spoon feeding some nasty looking choco. pudding, and a short dance competition. No extra activities, no strobe lights. It was alright this year, but last year was way better. Oh, and it felt SO good to boo the freshmen (BOOOOO!!).

I went to the football game last night and met up with my friends. Sadly, we lost 46--0 (I know, pathetic) but we cheered on our team with amazing cheers. We played against an all boys school and there was a chant about how we got girls and they don't (don't remember the words, but it was awesome). People were throwing out keychains and necklaces to the crowd and I got hold of a key chain (I would've liked a necklace, but a keychain's cool).

I slept for most of the day today. Okay, so I went to bed at like.....12 this morning (it feels weird to say that) and woke up at 11:30 a.m. After a shower, some singin' in the mirror and a yummy lunch, I took a "little" nap with Miss Spaz (if you don't remember, she's one of my adorable cats) and woke up at 6:45 p.m. I KNOW!! I can't believe it either. I think I'm not sleeping good at night. I have one of those sleep number beds and I think I need to readjust the numbers.

OMG!! Tonight's the season premiere of SNL (Saturday Night Live!!!!)!!!!!!!! Amy Phoeler's gonna host (she used to be on SNL) and Katy Perry's gonna sing (hope she sings 'Teenage Dream')!! I'm for sure gonna watch it. Wish I had one of those T.V. show recorder things that records the show and you can watch it later, anytime. But if I want to see something, I better watch it when it aires, even if it means sacrificing some sleep.

Lots o' Love,
Scarlett October (xoxo)

P.S.~~ 'Rents are watching "The Great Outdoors." Ugh, that movie is soooo.....dumb. It used to be funny, but after you've watched close to fifty times, it gets kind of not-funny-ish.
