that interview for the town board was, hmm, crap. everyone that knows me understands that i can not lie for crap. so if sandra frankl, town supervisor, asks me if i was the one wanting myself to be there, not my mom, i’m going to have a hard time saying that i made the decision myself. and if sandra frakel, town supervisor, asks me if i’m comfortable with public speaking and voicing my opinion, i’m going to have a hard time saying no, i’m shy. and if my mom, life supervisor, asks me how the interview went, i’m going to have a hard time saying fine, and not tell her that i use way too much slang and i’m fairly sure mrs. frankel had no idea what i was even talking about.

and oh yes, guess who was waiting to go in when i finished? gabe. the president of my class.

mom: i’d like a medium frosty and a medium fry please.
wendy’s employee: that’ll be $1.75 at the first window, congratulations.
lan: congratulations for what?
wendy’s employee: oh, uh, for picking wendy’s as your fast food restaurant of choice…

check it out.

the meeting wasn’t that bad. becky and ms. o’brien were there, along with jiggy and jaya (i knew her from discovery camp, which i’d rather not discuss). mentoring club and byt are now united as one. fun stuff. suprisingly enough, byt had unofficially appointed me their student leader. how weird is that? so now i’m automatically on the “planning board”, which is replacing their old officer positions. so yeah. it was worth it, i got to miss 7th period algebra.

i was fairly confused this morning when i recieved a pass that says tomorrow i can miss 7th period (algebra 2), signed by ms. o’brien. mostly because i have only talked to ms. o’brien twice, and it wasn’t for very long. but i solved the mystery just a few minutes ago. i was reading my emails from becky (trying to remember if there was a byt meeting tomorrow) and i noticed that i agreed to go to an idea/planning meeting tomorrow.

case in point: i have a horrible memory.

i forgot to tell you about the man with red suspenders. okay, so i was at walmart waiting for my mom to reappear from the produce section. i had just taken out $120 to buy my camera and i was riffling through my wallet to find the reciept so i could see my current balance. an old bald guy with black pants and a white shirt on, with red suspenders, comes up to me and holds out his hand like he’s expecting me to give him something. i said, “uh, hello sir. can i help you?” he walked away. it was so creepy.

everytime i see him in my mind, he’s wearing a black top hat. what’s up with that?

prison break is such a great show that it amazes me. tonight was one of those “to be continued…” episodes, which kill me.

the new camera is excellent. i heart it.

i got a new t-shirt, it says “eggcellent” on it and has a picture of an egg that i drew in photoshop. nifty, eh?

worst.day.of.school.ever. well, not really. but there were some difficulities. like: i forgot to read ch. 13-16 from huck finn for my reading quiz, i noticed that i had a large amount of jump cuts in my gunsmoke clip, and i didn’t even know that i had math homework this weekend and obviously didn’t do it. sucky, eh?

tomorrow’ll be better though, as i only have 4 classes.

i bought a new camera today from w-mart. $98 for 3.2 megapixels, 3x digital zoom, and a 1.5″ display. now, i know that it isn’t very excellent or anything, but it’s fine for me. i take pictures of nothing of importance, and it’s not like i’m a professional photographer, right?

curls and i went to a movie today (another one of those spontaneous movie outtings that we’re so fond of). we saw the island… it was fabbity fab. i was a little worried it was going to be one of those “been done” movies, but it so wasn’t.

oh yeah, i made a new button for the site:

omg. and i never say that. but omg. we actually cleaned the hallway. now, most of you won’t really understand why that is so omg, but those who do, omg, right? and by cleaned, i mean we threw everything out that wasn’t nailed down, and we eventually pried that stuff off. we even ditched the bookshelves in the basement. i can walk through the hallway to my room without knocking things of shelves. this hasn’t happened for more than 11 years. i’m in awe of the awesomeness. awe, awesomeness. weird.

Until the crappymatic is set up, my designs will not be available via this site. but links to them will still be up under my section at beauticians. so check them out there.

today my mom took me to don’s to help her move some stuff, and i picked myself up an old black rotary telephone. i’ve been looking for a telephone for my room for awhile, but i couldn’t find any spare ones around my house. rotary phones are high quality man, high quality. it had an old style phone plug, so i had to take that part apart and replace it with a normal one.

thursday, thursday, thursday. what to say, what to say. took a horrible ‘merican quiz. and i didn’t have to write an essay in pe today, ms. matzky let me just watch everyone run the mile. ha ha. every single boy finished before any girl did. it was quite sad really.

turns out i’m doing that teen recreation board member thing after all. fun stuff, eh?

great day. i thought that byt started today, so i told kate to come with me to the middle school at 3. but 7th period i was informed by phil that there was no byt today. i couldn’t find kate before i came home. so when i got home i called every single cell phone in my address book, but no one was around kate. i felt so bad that i left her at school. so i called the high school (after accidently dialing the attendence office and then the couseling office) and pretended to be kate’s mom. i had the best mom voice too. they paged her but she wasn’t there. so i found the phone book and looked up the number for the middle school. i called again pretended to be kate’s mom. my mom voice was 10 times better and liz wouldn’t stop cracking up. they said they’d page her and tell her to call me. 2 minutes later kate called (although i learned soon after that she didn’t actually get my page, she just called) and i invited her over. we watched a the office episode that i had taped last night and also played settlers of catan. later we made buttons that said “choose sandwitch… he’d never lie to you”.

later i went driving. i actually went on the express way for a few minutes. it was awesome. we got off because there was no way i could cut through 4 lines of traffic to get to the left lane. i heart driving.

[[ connor drops big book on the air conditioner ]]
lan: AAAHHHH!
whole class: *stares at me*
connor: see, alanna was scared!
lan: uh, sorry.
–why am i such a wimp? kids want me on their sports teams in pe because i yell whenever i’m doing anything (dribbling, catching, running, etc.). they say i make pe fun. oh, that’s rich.
