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.
