no dressing up for me tomorrow
my mom is tolerant of almost everything i want to do, but she will never let me wear my pajamas on pj day. i don’t exactly know why, but she says something along the lines of “inappropriate for teenagers to be wearing pajamas to school.” i fail to see the inappropriateness of pants made out of cotton. but whatever. i guess she’s justified. sort of. i’ll dress up for...

back from three hours at benihana's
my mom’s birthday is on wednesday, so we went to dinner tonight. for his birthday, my dad got a “be a benihana chef for a day” gift certificate from my mom, and tonight he got to be our chef.
if you’ve never been to benihana’s, you go and sit at this table in front of a huge grill sort of thing and a chef comes and prepares the food in front of you. we go there on...

jealous of the snow
my friend in la canada (near los angeles, not toronto) just texted me asking if we got any snow. i told her down here we didn’t, but they got some in the hills i think. then she told me they got snow. in southern california. i am so jealous. she lives in the hills so it kind of makes sense, but still. asdfghjkl;
she also thought it was ironic that she lived in northern california for 15...

i hate making spelling and grammar mistakes
i always feel like it diminishes what i just wrote. it seems like i don’t know what i’m talking about or something, at least to me. i’m sure people don’t go around saying, “OH, well she spelled ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ wrong, she must stupid,” but i still hate spelling things wrong. my fantastic typing skills (cough) don’t help much...

al pacino is pretty awesome
this morning i watched the godfather part I.
i liked it. i’m not exactly sure why, as it was basically italian men doing awful things to each other, but i enjoyed it nonetheless. we’ve got the next two recorded on our tivo, and i’m half through part II (but my parents wanted to stop and watch the rest tomorrow so they’ll not be tired). the three movies together won 9...

my thoughts keep getting jumbled
on their way to becoming words.
today, i would like to DO something.
i want to go somewhere, see something, do something. i don’t want to sit at home doing nothing.
Anonymous asked: I read your post about your dress (yay, congrats!) and now I am curious: do you know the date of junior prom? I think it was the Friday before break, but I have no idea where to check.

cream puffs and revelations
today i went to beard papa’s with harini and we got to talking about middle school. she said she’d seen sindhu’s 8th grade yearbook (apparently i look very different—i’m going to take that as a compliment). i described to her my middle school experience the way i always do: it sucked and my friends were mean.
she asked me why this is all i ever say about middle...

some background info on what's going on in libya →
there are some links to other good places in the article too.
there is something wrong with the fact that so many of us can go around not having any idea what’s going around in the world. what about school? is the point not to become well-informed individuals? evidently it isn’t, seeing as we haven’t talked about current events at all. last year we did in history, and it was...

are you amazed? because i am
i made the mistake of telling my mom that shruthi bought a prom dress, so she got all excited and insisted we go to macy’s for the president’s day sale. what the heck, i figured, then i won’t have to go to macy’s again when it gets closer and i’m actually in the market for a dress (i’m still in a state of denial that prom is anywhere near getting close). and...

today i went go karting.
yeah. me. ellen. go karting. for real.
i was not happy about it when we first got there, to say the least. i had no idea why i let my dad sign me up along with my brother. it was a training course to get my “karting license” so we learned the safety and how to drive the karts and stuff like that. but i did NOT want to do it. no no no no. i wanted to go home,...
shruthig asked: how long have you been in girl scouts? and why do the boxes get smaller each year?
let the facebook arguments begin
i don’t understand the purpose of having the same argument a million times over. everyone on the planet knows the views of both parties and neither party will change, regardless of what’s said. that’s just how it is.
and yet they try to have civil debates, again and again on the same topic. but they will undoubtedly degenerate as they always do and end in nothing but anger and...

it's starting
a few weeks ago the rumblings of junior prom craziness began to appear. girls looking at dresses, people trying to decide if they could or wanted to go. i thought it was a little insane, seeing as there was so much time before it was even on the horizon.
but yesterday while walking home anna pointed out to me that it’s no longer so far away. it’s about a month and a half. that may...

seriously. it’s insane. hardly a day goes by where my father doesn’t make some crack about how if i could drive, i wouldn’t have to do this or that. when my cousin was here she and my dad ganged up on me like crazy. she could twist my words to say how no matter what it was, it’d be better if i could drive. my dad signed me up for online driver’s training at the end of...

I know that you’re not an advice columnist, but you’ve given such good advice to others, so I was hoping that you could help me out.
I have a really close group of friends, and we all love each other. But there is this one girl in the group who seems to get along with everyone but me. I know it may seem like I am speculating, but she has made it quite clear...

je t'aime
quand je te vois, je me sens battre mon coeur. je ne peux pas passer un jour sans penser a toi. je suis reconnaissant que tu sois dans ma vie. je ne peux pas l’imagine sans toi. quand je te parle, je pense a rien d’autre. si tu me quittais, je ne serais pas capable de vivre. pour toi, je delaisserai tous les autres. je suis heureux que tu me choisisses. si tu me demandais, je ferais...

serenadesssss
they were a lot of fun. i thought we didn’t get to do NEARLY enough. mr. aron should have sold more. two or three per period is much fewer than it should be. we spent altogether too much time sitting around in the theater. and while my feet hurt like heck when i was walking home, i wish we could have gotten to go do more. i didn’t get to go to any of my classes except for 2nd period,...

OKAY SERIOUSLY THIS IS NOT FAIR
i just found out what song the guys who aren’t in cappella are doing.
i love that song. and i also love the song the cappella guys are doing. they are perfect serenade songs.
how did we get stuck with such an un-valentine’s-y song while they get such cute songs?
so not fair.

this is such perfect timing it’s not even funny.
in bio we’re doing the chapter on vertebrates, and the last section is devoted to the evolution of humans. and lucy is mentioned.

weirdest feeling ever
because i’ve gotten a bit less than 6 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours (minus my wonderful nap), i am going to assume that i was kind of a mess at school today.
it was the weirdest feeling ever, though. i knew that my brain was not working the way it should. i could feel myself forgetting things. i was aware of the haze that followed me all day. i went to my locker to get something that...
