WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

This news is coming a little late, but my middle school girls basketball team has finished its season UNDEFEATED! YEAH! 14-0 is our record. I had 4 points this season but 20 steals and 8 rebounds! I think I did pretty well.

ALSO... I am being hosted! You can see my "coming soon" banner at rachel.dark-bliss.net. This blog will soon move there...

Man it's hard

I was so surprised to find out that it's HARD to find a host. Man I have typed out my name at least 20 times today. *sighs*

We beat Kimball 50-12! Now Coach Al is getting us all 12" subs! I think I'd be happier if it was pizza. Cold meat is so not appetizing to me.

Surprising how many people think I got a D+ in Science. I feel proud of myself for getting away with it. :-D

I'll leave you with a final note: Don't put the milk away or your brother will attack you.

Rant-a-fy me baby!

Progress reports arrived today. Yeah! Not. My grades

Reading - Mr. Ziegler - A -
Social Studies - Mrs. Kukla - B+ - She doesn't give out A's on progress reports, which I totally understand, but she TOLD us she did that?? Doesn't make sense
English - Mr. B - A+ - WHOA! Did not see that plus sneaking in!
PE - Mr. Jones - A
Rotation - Mrs. Thomas - A
Math - Mrs. Wietzke - A-
Science - Mrs. Hernandez - A

Yeah I'm happy with them. I mean, who wouldnt? I told Alyssa and Charlie and Nikil that I got a D+ in science because they were getting on Brandi's case for getting a C+ and you could totally tell it was bugging her. Plus I like the satisfaction of making Alyssa think I am not so perfect. For some reason.

So I told Brandi I got an A on the bus and she said "That makes me feel so much better". Grr. I helped her out and I get this. So I make up this crap about how I am not an A student and I don't believe that grades matter because we all have to get an A or excellent otherwise we fail. WE ARE IN THE EFFING GIFTED CLASS FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!!!!!!! Don't you think we could get a C or an average when we're doing work twice as hard? HELL YEAH! Then I shut up and read my geometry book (don't ask).

Grades have always made me mad. YOU CAN'T FAIL AND LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES IF YOU CAN'T FAIL IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!


im done.

I'm gonna do it!

Yep, I'm going to do it! I'm going to go dig down and find a host! YEAH!!! Now, if your passing by, and you like me/my posts/ whatever and want it all for your own (which I doubt anyone but me would do) go ahead and email me. :-D detectiveral92#@#comcast.net

There's been a couple I looked at but no applications yet. *wink wink*

Ray (2004)

Ray (2004)

This movie was fantastic. Now I understand why it's got so many nominations for an Oscar. It truly was a great movie.

One of the best artistic parts was the drug withdrawl flashes he got in the rehabilitation center. My body was shaking, something I wasn't expecting.

The cast and crew did a great job bringing you into the movie, especially Foxx. I thought he was Ray until the last scene where he wasn't blind (part of a dream).

If you haven't seen this movie you'd better see it next weekend!

Paris and Ray

Read Me

*tsk tsk* Silly Paris. You'd think celebs would be more worried about their privacy.

Whoops, silly me. I forgot about your sex tape.

---

ANYWAYS, I think I'm getting another bug. It's weird how you can feel the warning signs a lot clearer after you've been deathly sick. My back hurts and my nose runs, but that could be something minor.
Just don't let me get the flu again.

So my mom just rented Ray, so I'll give you a review of it tomorrow. It looks really, really good. My dad always liked him, and anyone who performed on Sesame Street must be doing something right. Plus Jamie Foxx is just so fine and talented. You should have seen his impersonation of Denzel Washington. Fun-nee.

Now to our featured presentation...

See ya at 9. ;-)

Friday Feast

Highlights

Instead of totally going through the past couple of days, I'll give you some bullets:

• Went to school - yeah!
  
• Had a 99.8 degree fever as my last high temp
  
• Caught up completely in school work
  
• Throat got hoarse from post0nasal drip and sounding like a guy
  
• Got my first points in basketball, but had a hard time breathing because of my manliness
  
• Got a dead frog from Alan
  
• Wished not to be a 13-year old girl five times in one day.
  

I think I'll continue on that last point. Last Thursday Katie was complaining that we were going to look stupid going out during "Let's Get It Started", and I told her to do it for school spirit. She said something along the lines of "Rachel, I care what people think of me. You don't. We're totally different people."

I don't get it. I'm all for looking great and bringning out your best features, but caring about something you're doing to bump up the crowded and caring so much that you don't even look into the crowd or anything, I don't understand at all. And the guys that she's worried about teasing her are just a bunch of jerks that are so mean to her yet she hangs out with them. I am so glad I am not a Katie fan. Never have, never will be.

Don't get me wrong, I like being me. I like not being afraid of what people think. But I sure don't fit in with a whole bunch of the girls stuff. It's really weird trying to go to a dance and your mom yelling that you can't wear that because it doesn't show off your belly.

WHICH ONE IS IT?

About every hour my dad comes and says "Lemme see some numbers".

I laughed the first time.

But not the other times. Because I have been seven different temperatures all day:

101.7
100.3
99.7
98.8
100.1
100.5
101.8 <--- WHY?????

Man my body is aching, my teath chatter, and I sit here, on a broken wooden chair that faces the only portal I have to the moving world.

And they're all strangers.

I'd rather be sick on the weekends. Yes, it's true. Because I could talk to someone online while I was sick, or I could go watch the basketball game I was supposed to play in.

Except I sit here, reading my RSS feeds like I am starved for communication.

Which I am. You would be, if you dad talked to you about putting in your bedroom door and taking 2 more pills.

Note: THANK YOU to all my favorite blogs (Including Dave from Blogography and Sarah from One Starry Night) for getting me through two days (and counting) of miserable hours. *hugs to all*

You wanna see the blogs I've been reading? Look to the left and down at my BlogRoll. That's all of them!

AIM Me

Please. I am soooo bored. AIM me at squ33kyg33ky.

nooooooooooo

I AM STILL SICK!!! I really wanted to go to school today, especially because I have a basketball game and I WANTED TO BE THERE!

Right now I have a 99.2 degree fever. Yipee! School has been in session for 68 minutes, so I kinda missed a lot already.

GRRR... I really wanted to go!

Well, I'll probably post a bijillion more times before the day is over.
