What a Terrible Day

Hullo. I had a horrible day. Here it is--in detail:

LYNDA'S TERRIBLE DAY: IN DETAIL

6:50- Lynda wakes up...goes to the bathroom.

6:52- Lynda trudges back to bed, hoping (desperately) that it's only 5 in the morning,and she has another hour to sleep.

7:00- BRRRIIINNGG--Lynda's alarm rings, just as Lynda is snuggled in her bed, warm again...

7:10- Lynda wakes up for realz, from the doze she had since she slammed the snooze button on her alarm.

7:15- Lynda counts to 10 for the 50th time, telling herself, "I'll get up when I reach 10."

7:25- Lynda actually gets up, shivers, and then rushes to pull on the warmest clothes she can find.

7:40- Lynda is done brushing her teeth, hair, washing her face, dressed, packed, and headed(staggered) downstairs to eat breakfast.

7:45- Lynda is done glugging down milk and eating a dinner(lol, dinner) roll.

7:47- Lynda eases on shoes (she has painful blisters from the regatta on Saturday--OOOOWWWW...speaking of which, the regatta was cold, wet, and generally quite miserable), gently...

7:48- Lynda is pulling off shoes again, rushing up the stairs (erm, hobbling up the stairs) to get her iPod, 'cause she wants to listen to it on the busride down to the boathouse.

7:50- Lynda gently eases on shoes again (blisters still throbbing with pain).

7:52- Lynda runs (limps quickly) down the sidewalk in pursuit of xiy, and screaming at the top of her lungs, "XIY! OI! XIY! WAIT!!!"

7:56-Lynda and xiy make it to school. They part ways.

8:00- Lynda walks(totters) to French

APPROXIMATE TIME OF 2nd PERIOD: Lynda reads American Pageant (APUSH txtbk) during math class, in desperate hope that she will finish so she will pass the chapter quiz that's going to happen in 7/8 period.

......3rd period-5th period...... SKIP (it's boring)

LUNCH- Lynda eats. Lynda's friend, Bzz and Dani comment that Lynda's eggplant food look like octopus and snails, respectively.

7/8 period- Lynda PASSES THE QUIZ! WITH FLYING COLORS!

9/10 period- AP BIO....'nuff said

3:00- Lynda rushes (dodders) home in search of crew regalia...

3:06- Lynda arrives home...realizes keys are inside said home.

3:07- Lynda begins to panic.

3:08- Lynda's 'beginning panic' goes to full out 'PANIC' mode...

3:10- Lynda flags down passerby (highschool boy) by yelling, "YOU! YES! YOU! C'MERE!"

3:11- Passerby shuffles warily closer to crazed Lynda.

3:12- Lynda asks to use his cellphone.

3:14- Lynda realizes she doesn't know who to call (neighbor xiy is at Chinese Club)...hands phone back to boy.

3:20- Lynda runs (teeters) back to HS. Finds xiy, makes a scene. 

3:30- Lynda runs (totters) back home. Grabs umbrella and backpack (from doorway, where she put it), scares a first grader by whipping out the umbrella, and brandishing the umbrella like a sword.

3:50- Lynda arrives back at the HS, finds other crew buddy, borrows clothing, relaxes a bit.

4:00- Lynda is on bus to crew.

4:01-5:16...Nothing interesting happens.

5:17- Lynda's boat goes too close to coach's launch/motor boat thing/ship...Lynda's oar nearly decapitates coach's head.

5:18- Lynda thinks she heard a thunk when her oar goes flying over coach's ship. 

5:25- LARGE FREIGHTER COMES BY. OTHER BOAT NEARLY RUNS INTO IT.

5:30- Coach complains that his "unsinkable radio with the flashing light that goes on when in water" has sunk somewhere, and he can't see the supposed-to-be flashing light. Lynda realizes that the *THUNK* she heard when her oar went over the coach's ship was the radio colliding with her oar. Apparently said radio went flying out into the water...Lynda feels a tad bit of guilt...

7:00- Lynda arrive back home. She is content.

END

And thus ends my day. And my post. Have a lovely night.

Luv,

Lynda

Happy 9th Birthday, Virgil!!

I was a very strange eight-year-old, but I think that I got even stranger when I turned nine. Here is my diary entry for my ninth birthday.

Happy Bday to Me!
Thursday, June 30, 2005 <3 <3 <3 

Dear Bonnie the Bunny, (that's what I named my journal don't judge!!)
I an nine years old! I can't believe it! Well, all of the news is good. The party was fun, for guests. For me it was horrible. (Cue the preteen angst) When we went in the pool, nobody would let me play with them. The cake was delicious... not! Well, at least I got really good presents. [insert crush's name here] got me a dolphin mobile! I counted, and I have fifty-five dollars worth of certificates, checks, and gift cards!


Sincerely,
Dolphin Girl (Yes, that is how I signed off every journal entry. Stop judging.) 


P.S. I'm going to New Jersey tomorrow!! 


Most of the entries are basically like this. I titled every one of them (titles like "Off to the Library!" and "Lemonade Stand!"
 Not only did I whine about my day, but I also planned future novels. Here is an outline for a future bestseller called "Puppy Love."

Puppy Love

Summary
A family decides to adopt a puppy. Puppy grows up. Dog gets fats, too slow. Dog sadly gets run over by a car. Little girl saves the puppies that were in the middle of being delivered when the car hit. 


I'm not sure why a pregnant dog in the middle of labor would be in the street, but yeah, that's the story. 

This is the entry that I wrote after I first started reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It's a few days after the release date because we had only ordered one copy so I had to let my older sister read it first. (When the seventh one came on, we ordered two copies so I wouldn't have to go through that kind of torture again.)

Disaster

Wednesday, July 20, 2005 <3 <3 <3

Dear Bonnie the Bunny,

Today was  filled with disaster. Not a big disaster, just lots of little ones. Like the power going on and off, the air conditioning not working, things like that. Well, Carol finished Harry Potter, so I started reading it. I also finished my needlepoint. I have already started to work on the one that I got yesterday, it has a really cute baby leopard on it.

Sincerely,

Dolphin Girl (Stop judging!!! Stop!!!)

Okay, I'll stop embarrassing myself now. Bye. 

Peace,
Virgil 

Sorry to Ruin the Winter Cheer

I noticed that xiy has posted the winter holidays banner...it made me feel slightly guilty that I'm completely not feeling the happiness. Why? Because

TODAY IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE

Yes. That's why.

Let me start off my story (my, lotsa stories there's been) with an explanation: Yesterday, it snowed so bloody much, I thought there was gonna be a *SNOW DAY* today.

A corner of our backyard. With a wisteria.

Ha! My face is pixelated. I love playing with Photoshop. Me+fence door+lights

 

 

As you can see, it was pretty...I was happy yesterday... Anyways, so I really was hoping for a snow day...but today, not a snow day got progressively worse.

*#*#*

EVENTS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER:

1. I wake up at 7:50. School starts in 10 minutes. I panic, rush out of bed, brush teeth, throw on clothes, rush out door.

2. Forgot lunch, run back in, get lunch.

3. Forgot keys, run back in, get keys.

4. Rush to school, see xiy's dad point to indicate xiy is long gone...DUH. This irritates me as I am still in a sleepy/panicky stupor.

5. Goes to 1st period. Math. Takes math test. Fails math test. (I'm not even kidding. Math teacher calls me up after 10 minutes of grading, asks, "What happened?" I've gotten all the problems on the last page: WRONG)

6. Goes to 2nd period. French. Gets told that store project thingy is next week...Is irritated

7.Goes to 3rd period. Global Studies. Does stupid worksheets in stupid class filled with stupid people who ask stupid questions and can't answer any other way but stupidly to stupid crossword puzzles.

          Person: Shanghai? Me: THAT'S IN CHINA YOU STUPID PERSON!!!

9. Goes to lunch. *sigh* peace...

10. Goes to 7-8th period. Science. Idiot teacher TinRabbit tells everyone: "That super-huge-outline-you-stayed-up-the-whole-night-finishing-and-then-failed-your-math-test-because-of? It's not due until tomorrow."

11. Goes to 9th period. English. Nothing, really...

12. Goes to 10th period. Gym. Gets picked to be on a stereotypical black ppl team. Rowdy, cussing, competitive, thinks Asians are useless. Gets pushed around by a fat bitch on said team. Screamed at by team captain: Arrogant, stupid, obnoxious, skinny-jean-wearing, ugly-butt, disgusting, stinky brat (boy). "You just standin' there lookin' retarded!" Loses to all other teams. Loses the Win-a-Popsicle round. Doesn't get popsicle for 4th day in a row.

13. Goes to crew practice. Dies of exhaustion. But fun. :)

14. Goes home. Freezing. Turns on heater.

15. Parents come home. Dad still giving silent treatment.

16. Eat dinner. After dinner, dad yells about how I should just quit the Middle School Science Olympiad team cuz I don't practice. Also cuz the teachers had high expectations, thought I was good enough to come back and help. Dad says that I should tell them I quit because I'm not good enough. I suck. I suck at life, I suck at school, I suck at not being fat as a pig for slaughter, I suck at running, I suck at crew, I suck at committing to things, I suck at this, I suck at that..etc.

17. Goes upstairs, feeling very, very, very depressed, angry, sad, hurt...etc. Mom yells at me for talking to her funny(I didn't), tells me to go downstairs and make brownies for my dad. I ask why, she yells at me for being nosy...?

18. End of the day...If all of my wishes had come true for today, a lot of people would be dead or tortured.

19. Writes post...goes over day...feel awful.

*#*#*

 More pictures from yesterday! (trying to force myself to be happy here)

Another look..See the specks of snow on the camera lens?

My hand is on the ground. You can barely see the top of the snow!

*#*#*

THEME WEEK!

YAY! It's another theme week! (Oh gosh, my posts become so long)

Here's a story in my diary that I wrote on March 9th when I was in 3rd grade...Yes. I know the date. I wrote it in my diary...

Copied exactly, no changes at all:

Story (Cindellian*

                           Ellian Genine**

Once upon a time there was a princess who loved a prince but her father would not allow it. "BUT FATHER I love him!" "NO!" Knock Knock "Your Magessty.*** You have a message From King Hall and Queen Senia." "You are invited to dinner." So when King Genine (her father) left she sneaked off with her beloved and got married. King Genine was actually quite happy! "I love You" was what Ellian told Mike her husband.

The End

*This was completely scribbled out with purple gelpen

**This was written approximately in that place relative to the title in purple gelpen

***The extra "s" was scribbled out.

The purple stuff is where I started to write in purple ink. The gray is when I wrote with pencil...

Hope you enjoyed my professionally written story!

Luv, Lynda

P.S. Greek tomorrow....*groan*
