My Heroes.... right now

As of now these are the people that I look up to, and hope to become more like.
  1. Kimya Dawson
  2. Margaret Cho
  3. Micheal Ian Black
  4. Jeff Hardy
  5. Patrick Stumph

And well, I guess that's it.

If I showed this list to my mom, she would probably have no idea who these people are, which I guess is a good thing because if she did she'd probably rant on about how they are all going to hell, and how I'm a bad kid for looking up to them.

But hey, how am I supposed to look up to my own mom when she does crappy things like telling my 11 year old sister that she's fat, when in all truth she really isn't.

And yes, that is a picture of the awe inspiring Kimya Dawson.  And no mom, she is not a heathen.

Many Things, Little time.

Ok, gawd I have been so busy the past week it's been almost grueling trying to fit all of my regular daily activities in.

However, I have found a couple of alternatives to help myself out, like instead of taking my shower at night, I take it when I first wake up which is like 5:30am.  It saves like 40 minutes of primping at night, which means more time to blog, and read other people's blog.

Also, I do half of my homework one day, and the other half the night before it's due.  That way I won't be too overloaded and I'll have extra time to do stuff like laundry, and watching the news.  

So even though it may be tight, I have managed to squeeze everything in.... if just barely.

As of right now, this is what I'm planning to work on over the weekend:

  • AP English poem project.
  • AP Biology Scientist Paper
  • Savannah's commissioned art piece (wooo! $5!!)
  • Algebra problems. boooo :[

So yes, it's going to be a pretty busy Labor Day Weekend, but at least I won't have to complain about being bored.

UPDATE ON L.

Dude, Bekka, I have no idea what you did to L but I think you had a major breakthrough with him because today when I passed him in the hallway at school he SMILED at ME.  HOLY COW.

It's like he's had 150% improvement.  Plus your blog post yesterday made him seem like a total different person!  And I said a joke while talking to Celery and he LAUGHED.

I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be so shocked seeing as we have been working with him for almost a year (or at least I have).  However, even if he is making progress we still have a lot to work on with him.  Like, how he doesn't know what his favourite food is, or what he does in his spare time, or if he likes unicorns or pandas.

This social experiment might actually turn into a success.

Social Experiment #3

Ok, so in all the excitement of school, and my brand spanking new baby brother I have forgotten all about my social experiment on L.

And for those of you who are just joining in, L is a very anti-social friend of mine. I would like to say that he is a close friend, but in all truth I barely know anything about him. Why, you ask? Well L is the type of person you see in the back of the classroom, who barely ever talks, participates, or even has any interests (that I know of).

With that being said, I've tried observing L, and I think he's gotten better. He actually talks more, even if it's only 5 word sentences, I count that as an improvement. Haha it used to be barely one word!  

Still, I notice this stand offish feeling around him, like he feels like he's not wanted so he just automatically just goes away before he even approaches a group of people. I don't know. I guess I feel kind of guilty when he's just standing there, and I end up talking to someone else because he doesn't volunteer anything to the conversation.

I don't know..... Grrrrr..... L is still a total mystery, and it's frustrating me that I still don't know simple things about him, like what he does in his spare time. L is like a very interesting book, that has no information on the outside, but still your intrigued to read it and the only thing holding you back is the fact that there is a big glass wall restricting you from reaching over and opening the book.

I don't think that last sentence made any sense.... Oh well. On an emotional scale of 1 - 10 I think I've seen him express 0.5 --- yeah. That's considered extreme for L.

(PS  if you want more info on L just search him on my blog with the search engine thingy on the left column)
