Unnesscary Slap

October 3, 2008

I have a story today. Out of all the things that tick me off, one of the ones at the top of my list came up. I was going to class after lunch when this girl had a laptop bag, you know those big messenge bag type things. And she was trying to swing it over her shoulder, I guess, Idk. Well she swings it and it goes around my head-okay well she’s on my right and has her back to me. The bag swings to the left side (‘guess thes strap was long) of my face and POW!! It hits me right on the side of the face. So by reflex, I suppose, my head goes to the opposite side. I bump into her back and she realizes the bag isn’t on her shoulder. I bounce up and then a guy is coming on my left and his shoulder runs into mine making me go back and almost fall to my feet. The girl’s friend found this amusing I guess (though she should watch it cuz it could happen to her and then we’d see who’d be thinkin its so funny) and the girl said sorry but was about to kinda crack a smile. *rolls eyes*

Thats an apology? Puh-leeze, thats the stupid I’m-not-really-sorry-that-I-did-this-cuz-I-think-its-funny-but-I’ll-say-sorry-anyway-even-though-I-don’t-mean-it kind of apology I hate how people bring huge bags to school. If you need to carry a lot thats one thing but a laptop bag? Come on, use a backpack or a duffle bag. But most of all swinging it over your shoulder? How stupid can you get? Its a congested hall, you don’t swing crap about and think its not gonna hit someone. Soo I guess I sound sorta mad about it. At first I was mad, but when I got to class I was laughing about it. (Still am!) The moral of the story is for those kids who carry luggage size bags (when you know that they don’t need a bag that big and they have lots of room in that luggage bag), large laptop bags and the people who think its okay to swing stuff around behind them during passing period. And that moral is think before you act like you’re seven and swing stuff around and don’t say sorry if you don’t mean it. ;)

Lately some people have randomly been being little turds around me. Despite getting hit by a laptop bag, being ignored or annoyed by stupid teachers, and almost tripping down the last step of the stairs in slingback wedges on Thursday (which are super cute that I got on sale @ Payless on Wed. I can walk in them but the strap slid down under my foot!) I think its been a good week. Not to mention a really quick one! :)

The Trick at School

September 20, 2008

So I haven’t posted in some weeks…but I just didn’t know what to say and right now I still don’t. I did try the NYX shadows, I like them and have done a lot of looks with them. I like them and wanna get more later. Anyway, I’ve had a few good ideas to write about from the past few weeks. One is super crazy. This is a true story that happened the other week or so.

 I was at school in my computer class playing a game when the screen went all weird on me as if I had went to the desktop and was doing something. Like the screen got kinda small and then it went back to normal. At first I thought it was me and wondered what happened. I kept playing the game till the computer “froze” on me and I got mad. Then I noticed the cursor was moving and I didn’t even have my hand on the mouse! I got my friend to look onto my computer screen for a sec and we thought that was so weird. So then we waited to see what would happen next. The cursor opened up a notepad file and typed something like “Hello”. I typed “hi and who are you?” back to them. They were saying a bunch of weird stuff to me (nothing stalker-ish) but they never really said who they were, they said they lived in my closet though. Stupid. So I got the teacher and he said that some people had been known for hacking into the computer system like that and it was probably a student. I wanted to know who it was. I asked but everyone just thought I was crazy but I sensed it someone in the room when the notepad file said the color of the person next to me’s shirt and how they had said they wished that’d happen to them.

Little stuff like that made me guess it was someone in the room but I didn’t know who. Later on into the conversation, I asked what the person’s # was, they gave it to me. I was gonna call them to see who this mystery person was but then I decided not to cuz I wondered if they’d even pick up. So finally the person was like, “I g2g” and I said “K, me 2.” Sooo….then I was just looking at music videos when my friend said to turn around and I saw this dude from my class behind me and he was like, “Hi.” Automatically I knew that was him and I was so mad cuz I didn’t wanna find out who it was like this! I guess I expected it to go on for days and I’d find out by a phone call. I scowled. He said it was a joke and he kept at it when he saw I was saying Oh my gosh over and over and freaking out. I told ‘em I said that once and I wasn’t that freaked out. Me and my friend thought it’d make a really good movie idea. lol.

So yeah, just a weird random story. Idk what to say now. I’ll post later when I know what to say.

A Little Better Day

August 26, 2008

So today was the second day of school. It improved a little from yesterday. I couldn’t sleep all that great cuz I was curious if today was gonna be another one of those dream-like days. It was a litte better though, I felt a little more filled in…but y’know its just still so different with all of the changes and then the usuals of new teachers, new classes, new faces (aka people you’ve never seen before in your life)…so its overwhelming a bit. I’m a worrier…so I guess I should be using this to learn to not worry so much. Thats my goal for this year. *sigh* Tomorrow I hope it will build and become more routine and not the whole dream thing I posted yesterday. People around me seem agitated by the way they grunted and talked and some seemed kind of in a weird staring mood. Don’t ask.

Lately I’ve been interested in makeup artistry. And on Youtube thats like the best place to find anything now. So I’ve been watching tutorials on there for a few months now. Usually I watch people who have studied it and actually are certified professionals but I also watch other people who love it as much as I do…maybe more, and have some looks they wanna share. I did a few in the summer but I need primer and other stuff to really get that look to stay nice all day. Anyway, there were two really young girls doing makeup tutorials. One looked like she was 11 and the other looked around the same age. I didn’t wear makeup then much less try and do tutorials and tell people how to do their makeup. I guess things have changed within the few years but idk, it was kinda weird for me cuz I didn’t expect that. No offense to any of those kinds of girls out there but I don’t think people that young should be thinking about having full face makeup for school. The more you wear when you’re young the more clown-ish you look. But idk if I’ll do makeup for a job yet. I’m undecided.

I’m undecided on a lot of things now. I don’t know what I wanna do with my life in the next few years. I just think about a few weeks ahead at the most. I guess I should be thinkin about colleges and stuff but I’m not. I’m gonna go eat dinner now, I hope the rest of this week goes okay and like I said, builds up and becomes more and more familiar. I hate that about school, you get so used to somethin and then its over and you have to get used to something else all over again. I feel as if everything that happened a few months ago was years ago. Time goes by really fast, I know but lately I’m thinking it goes by too fast. Now its slow but I wish it’d go by fast-so I won’t think about it. The 2nd semester of school is always the best-thats when more exciting stuff happens and the whole dream-like and confused stuff goes away. Closer to summer, spring break (when I may work) and tons of other things. But I’m sure before I know it, it will be the second semester.

Sooo today was the first day of school and I’m a sophomore now…

I don’t know when I’ve ever been so dang confused. Everything has changed at school, like schedules of the day and stuff. It was sorta hectic and I don’t like it. I guess I’m still in “summer mode” or whatever you wanna call it cuz it was weird waking up for school. Yet I felt as if I was gone for just a few days and was coming back to the way things used to be (which wasn’t the reality though.) When I got to school, omg, I don’t know how to say it but it was just weird. Some of my classes are in parts I’ve never been before so I walked in a few wrong classes a few times :X. Its strange cuz I don’t feel like a tenth grader or anything. I didn’t even feel like me today. I felt as if I was living in some sort of a dream. And while I had stupid assignments to be doing I couldn’t focus. I had my head in the clouds.

It made me wish I could wake up from this dream and find myself in my bed or somewhere else…anywhere but here. But today was real, I don’t need to pinch myself or yell “WAKE UP!!!” or do anything at all like that. This was a real day and there’s no waking up. I sorta got that through my head when it had been three hours at school already and the dream wasn’t ending. Anyone who has dreams a lot knows that they aren’t that many hours or more. See, this is why I hate the first few weeks of school. Everything is crazy, there’s like nobody that I know in my classes and I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I think I lost something but I end up having it or I’m in my thoughts so much I forget what I was going to say or do in the middle of doing them. You could say I didn’t sleep so good last night..thats no lie. *sigh* I just wanna scream and jump up and down or do somethin. THIS IS SO CRAZY! I EVEN FEEL CRAZY!!

I hope the school year gets better…starting off with a better tomorrow. Cuz I hate being confused so much like this. I wanna wake up, go to school and feel like Rachel and not like I’m walking in someone else’s shoes.

Get Ready for School

August 16, 2008

So it’s like the last week of summer coming up. :( Then its school. Back to waking up at 7, doing stupid assignments, crabby attitudes (<–not talking about myself) and yeah. lol. So I guess its sorta obvious that I don’t wanna go back to school. Then again I do cuz I don’t wanna be bored at home doing nothing. I didn’t do much this summer. I mean I wouldn’t say it was completely sucky but it wasn’t anything real exciting. Plus I guess school isn’t that bad. I’m trying to look at it with a positive attitude cuz I know I secretly found myself missing school when I was bored at home some days. *puts finger to lips* Shh!

Along with getting ready for school is one of things I like to do most-shopping! I’ve bought a few clothes. Skinny jeans is being one of them. I like them better than flare b/c I feel as if flare leg swallows me since I’m not very tall…at all. I’ve bought a few shirts too-one that I just got an hour or two ago is by Kimora Lee Simmon’s new line for juniors called Fabulousity. I really like Kimora’s stuff so I really wanted a top by her brand when I heard about it. (Kimora has her own makeup brand and I love the blush! It has a sparkle to it unlike other blushes I’ve tried. In the sun your cheeks look sparkly and rosy. Plus it lasts and doesn’t fade.) Now I just need a few more shirts since I usually go shopping throughout the year, I don’t like to buy a LOT at the beginning of the year. Then a pair of shoes maybe (I’ll use last year’s since they look well kept still.) I’m not usually one who tosses out last year’s just stuff just cuz its from “last year”. I’ll use something for as long as I can. I don’t throw $$$ away so why clothes-especially if they’re still in “brand new” condition?

You know those people who are like, “Well I’m not __(add in any label or style of dressing)___ anymore so I’m gonna get new clothes to be _____.”? How do they do that? I guess if you have a lot of $$ or are changing to be a little more cleaned up if you were scruffy or didn’t shower much. Good stuff but not changing cuz everyone else is. I don’t label myself in any way. I buy what I like not what my magazines or other people like. Well if another person likes it and I’m crazy for it too then yes. But I don’t call myself a label or stereotype. I’m just Rachel. Anyway, I’ll blog more later. I know its been almost 2 weeks since I’ve blogged. Oopsie? I gotta clean up my room now and call my sister before I go to bed. Then its a whole new week to finish school shopping cuz ready or not schools coming.
