Malarie's Mission

So not much has been going on in my life lately. School's been the same. Friends have been the same. So not too much to report on those fronts.

I do have minor reports on the dating front though. RK and JS want to set me up with HW, who I met at KG party in September and I'm up for it cuz I think I should put myself out there. It will probably fall through like most set ups do but whatever.

Anyway, crush girl hugged me on Monday although I do have to admit my feelings toward her are waining.

Well that's about it.

Stale Laughter Fake Smile Soup

What can I say about life right now? Let's see. College applications are all in. It's just a waiting game now and I wish it was April so I would know if I got into either of my top choices. I've been playing guitar a lot. I posted songs online and now someone wants to book me at their bar. I haven't replied. RK got into her second choice college. I think she's the only person I'm going to truly miss once I end up at college. She's been like a sister to me for the past 13 years.

Anyway, my friends and I recently started an online tv series (our second, if you can believe it) and I'm in charge of editing. I love it. Firing up final cut and turning our crap into something watchable is so rewarding. When I was working on the documentary, I hated editing but that may have been because I was working with two people who didn't allow me to have any input. I love marine biology but I fear that I may gravitate more towards multimedia in college.

Not much else is going on in my life. 18 days until I'm 18. I'm still single and hating it. It's even worse now that Janet has a girlfriend. I am over her but the fact that when I liked her she was so anti-relationship and now has found a girl to challenge that kinda stings. But whatever, I've got crush girl to keep me occupied.

No Surprise

I got my first acceptance letter, to my safety school, University of Hawaii. They gave me a scholarship and put me in the honor's program so my dad is all team Hawaii now. I really don't think that I'm gonna go there unless I don't get into either Lewis and Clark or College of the Atlantic but I really hope that doesn't happen. Hawaii is way too expensive (although Honolulu's Chinatown is really nice).

I feel really bad for RK though because she got wait listed for her top choice. I automatically assumed she would get in despite some drops in her grades over the past few years. I really hope she does get in. I don' t want her to be forced to go to a school she doesn't like.

Anyway, on Friday there was major drama involving SB and basically everyone got really really pissed off at her but it was remedied on Saturday when a few of us hung out sans SB.

I should get some rest. I need to get unsick.

It's Been Years

Wow, it's been a really long time since I've posted but I have a really good excuse: my life has been extremely boring. Here's a run down of the past two weeks:

I learned that RK is the best person to hang out with on a Saturday afternoon if want to drink coffee, walk around town, talk about everything, and play guitar. That was probably one of the best Saturdays in a while.

I went out west to Washington for Thanksgiving with my stepmom and I met some of her family. They were all really nice to me. I checked out University of Washington with her great nephew. It was nice but too big for me so I'm no longer apply. Washington was so beautiful. I really want to go back and visit. If I get into Lewis and Clark then maybe I will.

Crush girl and I are working on an English project together with our mutual friend JS and a random girl who hasn't showed up for class in a couple of days. Crush girl loved my idea and got very excited about pulling it off correctly. Impressing her is defiantly progress of sorts, I guess.

That's about all that's gone on. College stuff is almost done and I'm so excited to have fun for the rest of my senior year.

Lights Out

I got my first report card of senior year today. I made honor roll, which is very relieving because I was pretty sure that this quarter was complete crap. Oh, and I got an A on my college essay so I feel super confident about sending it out.

So anyway, crush girl update: I've been trying to become friendlier with her and at this point we usually exchange playful banter about math homework and A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila before first period and high five each other randomly during school. I call that progress! Hopefully at one point high fives will evolve into make out sessions.

Oh shit, it's already ten and I have a ton of homework to do.

Goodnight

Most Brutal Criminal

I don't understand why but whenever there is a school shooting, I always start obsessing over the shooter. I did it with the Virgina Tech guy, searching all over for pictures, videos, and his plays. Now I've found the Finnish school shooter's file of stuff and I've been looking over everything. It's so freaky that these people are dead but they still left a mark on the internet.

I need to read something pleasant, like a webcomic or something.

Waiting By The Wayside

Last night was the Performing Arts Desert, which is basically a talent show that raise money for Performing Arts at the high school. RK performed for the first time ever on guitar and I was so excited for her. She actually made me like Dar Williams. There were some other really awesome acts but the fact that this one jackass was in like three acts pissed me off. Probably because he pisses me off in general in how he acts and treats people. He thinks he's so superior because he tours and has some music on itunes. There was another guy who was in five acts but I didn't mind as much because he doesn't act superior about his musical abilities (he is amazing at violin) and played a really good original song.

Anyway, today I took the SAT for the second time and SB drove me and RM. I think I did pretty well. It felt a lot easier than it did the first time I took it. My mom is really hoping that I get a 700 on each section so I can get into Lewis and Clark.

After the SAT I've basically just been playing guitar all day. I love it so much. I can't wait until I get good enough to play in front of my friends.

Now I'm off to KG's house to watch her three second cameo on a TV show at models.
