Hi,
(bigger update)
I hope my being grounded doesn't make anyone who reads me regularly sad or bored or whatever, but I have a lot more to write today, because it's a weekend and I can't resist much longer.
First of all let me explain why I was grounded. For three days and I was reading and falling asleep in my math class (Algebra II). I wasn't turning in the homework either and the teacher was concerned so he called my parents. My dad found out first and he took away my cell phone, i-pod, and my computer privileges. Then he let my mom know,who was not at home and possibly could have remained oblivious to my actions until she came home and I was in bed, safe from her wrath. But Noooo, my life isn't complicated enough so my father had to let her know immediately that I was in danger of failing, just to frustrate me!
So anyways, my parents take my grades very seriously and even though I've been doing my homework diligently for the past two weeks I still don't have my stuff back or full time internet access.
Which leads to explaining all the updates I've been posting because I wouldn't want to confuse or abandon the few people who do read this...
College: I found a college I'm interested in. It's an all girls school, but they're interested in me. A great opportunity for me to have easy access into school. Well, not easy, but at least a higher chance than others. They have taken personal interests in my have contacted my mother to get to me. My mom is thrilled and so am I. A private, all girls college, wow!
Elliven: He and I are getting along great. We are still just friends, for now, but we have had some major advancements...
Reading: Lord of The Flies. Ahhh, great book. I'm so happy that I finally finished it! Sad that the good supporting characters were killed of, but even the best books have deaths that help it along, make better sense, give the plot more meaning, stuff like that.
Watchmen. Yes I did basically read it because of the movie coming out(because It's rated R and I wanted to know why and discover the story for my self), but also because My Chemical Romance is obsessed over it and I largely obsess over them. It influenced them and so I wanted to read it too, at least to see what all the excitement was about. Yeah it is good.
I love it. The story is just what I wanted. It's strange, sometimes I look for a specific story, not a genre, but an actuall story. That's why it's so hard for me to find a good book to read, but I found one. I found a story that I've wanted to read right there in Watchmen.
Thinking: I do this so much I don't even remember what I think about sometimes. Really, anyone reading this should know that thinking is important. It's not just "Oh, everyone sensible thinks"; it's an activity. It takes no skill and it's the most freeing thing you can do. There are no boundaries, you simply let your mind wander and you're thinking and relaxing and having fun. Well, depending on what you're thinking about. It's daydreaming really, but it helps to call it thinking if you don't want to get in trouble when you're caught while you're supposed to be working. I do it all the time!
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!!!!- Exited about MCR. I check out they're website as much as I can. They are working so fast, or at least it feels that way. maybe it's because I'm watching them so much and I know what they're doing. Like how my mom spends so long at the store when she goes without me, but it doesn't seem like it takes forever when I'm with her. I still find out it was the same length of time, it just seems like she doesn't say out long when I'm with her. That's the way it is with MCR. I bet it's been a long time and that I'd be agonizing if I had no idea what they were doing or any news whatsoever, but Gerard and most of the rest of them post often to let their fans know whats up. It doesn't even have to be about music. Really I am so excited that they talk about other stuff. I feel like I get a look inside their minds, even if it's as simple as the cereal they eat or video games. Ha! I can't beleive it's them but I don't doubt it, which makes no sense.
THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY!!!!!!!- Ha! more exclamations on this. I am so on the edge of me seat to read the next one. Really if you haven't found this comic book, read it, thought it was cool, then I hope I don't know you. Okay, not really, but it is really amazing.
I don't want to ruin it for you, so go find it and read it yourself!!!! I have a super long thing to write about Gerard being an author but I'll do that seperately.
Friends: I found friends at school who are just as strange as me. I started eating lunch outside early this year and chose these random kids to sit with for a reason I don't remember. At first I thought they talked about random things, which didn't make sense, but I've made a connection with the stuff they talk about. It's zombies, and video games, and manga, comics, japanese television. A whole bunch of crazy, that I LOVE!!!! I just can't beleive after all this time, I've discovered people that are just as insane as I am. I brought them the Umbrella Academy to read and they love it too! So I love them, my cool school friends.
Movies: The Prestiege. I just watched it this morning. AMAZING. The prestiege at the end oh, my, gosh! There was nothing better I've seen all month. Of course I havn't seen a lot.
Okay, on a different level,but to the same extent, I love Eagle Eye. I just saw it last week. I love movies about technology taking total control and stuff like that. Yummy science fiction!!!! Yes, yummy.
Alright I think that's all for now. When I get the chance I'll post about my obsession with Gerard Way and sometime later I'll post StoryTime agian.
