Grounded Life

So, what's it like being grounded, you ask? Well, let's see.

Two days this week my mom had to go to Go-To-School nights, so I could go online and use my cell phone then.
In class we had a project we went to the library to work on, so I went online then.
My mom let me go on the computer when I had to for homework - and I really did spend most of the time doing homework, but I would sort my email a bit and stuff like that while homeworking.
I could not go to homecoming (FUCK YES!!!) but I had a sleepover Friday-Saturday to work on the afore-mentioned project...we stayed up until 1 working on the project with absolutely minimal procrastination O.O The product is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwYbk9DcnYA Don't watch it. Please don't watch it. (But, if you do watch it and you don't know which one I am...I'm the one that was introduced as Rachel. :P) It's pretty boring; who cares about women who worked in factories during WWII?

Unfortunately, my mom won't have Go-To-School nights this week, and my dad's back from Scotland, so my computer time at home will be much more monitored...although maybe a date for the end of the grounding will finally be established. It's really annoying not to know. It's like, "Am I grounded until college?" (Actually, when I asked my mom when it's over, she said "UNTIL COLLEGE!" She was mad, but I'm scared nonetheless xD)

Also, I was intending to write a lot more this year (I've been pretty much only RPing for a while now), and that hasn't happened yet. Maybe being bored out of my mind while grounded will encourage that along? I got inspiration for a poem this morning...we'll see what happens with that. But really, I should write more, because that's more or less the only thing I've ever been talented at all at. People say I'm good at math and science and stuff, but that's because I apply common sense to it all, I'd never be able to really do anything important with it...not that I could with writing, but still. I'd have more of a chance :P

Speaking of that sort of thing, YOU ALL MUST READ "JANE EYRE". Suchagoodbookohmygod. I've barely started (for those of you who know the story, Helen just died), but thus far, it's mindblowingly amazing. I mean, I usually don't squeak excitedly throughout an entire book...I do that at the climax and maybe the very end, but not from the first paragraph or so...so that should give you a sort of an idea with that.
For those people who like to know a bit of the plot before picking up a book: Jane has been living with her aunt and cousins and their servants since her parents died, and they hate her. One day, her 14-year-old cousin finds her reading, and tells 10-year-old Jane to come over to him. She does so, and after staring at her for a couple minutes, he hits her, making her drop the book. He tells her to pick the book up and give it to him, then go to a corner of the room away from the windows and mirror. She does that too, and he throws the book at her head hard enough to make her bleed. Enraged, she attacks him, which is when the servants come in and drag her off to her late uncle's room as a punishment. There she sees his ghost and screams, which prolongs the punishment from an unspecified amount to a longer unspecified amount. After much time, though, a doctor comes to treat her head wound and suggests they send her away to school, which they do and currently she's having a much better time there. So yeah, you all should read it. xD

Song of the Week: Dead Promises by The Rasmus. As I'm grounded because of a friend's betrayal, this fits well enough.

Welcome Back!

Wow, I haven't posted on here the whole summer? Let's just make this a school-year blog, shall we? That way I won't feel bad about not updating it....

Anyhoos, let's see. First I shall update you about my summer, although I've probably already told you elsewhere anyways. I moved back to Madison and have stayed here since, except for the 2 weeks I spent in France. I love France!!! Paris and Nice were awesome :D I shall most definitely be an exchange student in college!



The Eiffel Tower, no big deal <3


Then school began...I suppose the most notable difference is that this kid named Randy apparently started hanging out with my clique while I was in Cali and so on my first (well, second, I was with other people on the first) day back I meet up with them and he's like "...Who are you and why do you find nothing socially unacceptable about just coming over and talking to us?" (Well, he didn't say it aloud, but you know.) He's actually a bit of a dick to everyone but me, though. ...Well, that's not true, he was a dick to me today, but that's because I was hanging out with my ex(?)-crush and not paying him much attention. Said ex-crush thinks Randy likes me. I rather agree, but hope to avoid drama somehow anyway :P

Also, I'm in more shit than I've ever been before. I don't feel like going into the details, but suffice it to say that my mom found out about some of the less nice stuff I've been doing and I'm grounded for the next foreseeable eternity. This being said, I'm not completely miserable - I now have an excuse for missing homecoming, and I'm going to be allowed to trick-or-treat anyway! (However, this unfortunately leaves no hope for the Evanescence concert, Mimi. Sadful, tis.)

Also, I've been thinking of starting a vlog after I'm ungrounded. So tell me what you think about that, please. That can be the question of the week as I'm too lazy to think of another one '-_-
