In Which I Tell You What's Been Happening Lately.. sort of.

To be frank, there's nothing worthy of this post for your readership.. but I just wanted to keep up-to-date and announce some things that have been happening with me lately.

Let's start with the least exciting thing.. so that we can build excitement throughout this post and just have a wonderful climax, shall we? :) Okay..

On Friday, I received a letter from my homeroom teacher. It was a letter of commendation for my "excellent academic achievement" in the first Semester. It stated that my name will be posted on the Parent Bulletin this week (oh, wow. How honored.. NOT) and I'll receive a certificate. Man, must I need something black and white to prove how NERDY I am?! To be honest, I'm pretty stunned. Back in my old school, I was struggling to even be top 30 in my grade.. and now I'm top 10? It's just surreal. I'm sure you think it's because I'm surrounded by pretty daft people in my grade.. but that's not true. The fact is, that my old school discouraged me from doing things I wanted to do. I had to things this way and not my way. I felt trapped and eventually I just stopped trying. But the school I'm in now really lets me do the things I want to do and broaden my horizons. I've discovered talents within myself that I never knew I had.

Okay, enough with the boring school talk..

I notice I rarely speak of my friends.. and I thought I'd just introduce you guys to them. Well, not exactly since I would like to keep them anonymous. But I'll just tell you about each of them and you'll just know that I do have friends that I absolutely adore and love to bits.

This is in no order none-what-so-ever.. but just whoever happens to pop in my head first :) Firstly, my friend, Aphrodite (bare in mind, these are not their actual names. They're special codenames that only they and exclusive people would know) is just awesome and we have a lot in common. When I first came to this school, I honestly felt intimidated to approach her cause she seemed so superior and there was something about her that made me feel like I was not good enough to even talk to her! But eventually, I got to know her more and more.. and if possible, I just love her more and more along the way. She's one of the most true and genuine people I've ever met. She's also got a heart of gold and she's a bundle of fun. With whatever problem I have, I know I can rely on her. Except on the phone, though.. she's pretty unreliable when it comes to picking up her damn cellphone! But that's okay, I still laff you!

Then comes Cynical Nia, who's just been there for me through it all. She was my first real friend here and we've been inseperable ever since. She comes off as a very insensitive, cynical and mean person but deeeeeeep, deeep down inside that heart of hers, is one of the warmest people ever. She's got a tough exterior.. and she doesn't really show her interior except to a few lucky people.. like me. She's mostly brilliant. And very determined. But she can be silly and stubborn at the same time. She's not hypocritical and I know for a fact that she won't ever lie to my face.. or behind my back. It's just not what she does. If you're on her good side, she's an angel.. and if you're not in any of her sides.. you're in deep shit. Or she just completely ignores you're very existance. Which, trust me, she does on a daily basis. But I know who she really is and I love her regardless whether she's this mean, heart-made-out-of-stone person or the warm and loving person.

Now on to Stevie Rae. Our story is kind of funny. We sort of bonded in ski week when I learned that she loved My Chemical Romance and I was a fan of them too, so we instantly connected through that. Then I ended up in the same level as her for skiing and ever since we both wanted to pee at the same time, we've been the best of friends! After that, we just connected through music.. books.. and movies.. and now I feel like she's a sister from another mister to me! She's honest and just a very down-to-earth person. And I'm glad that I have her as my friend.

Then we have Lulu.. who's one of the smartest people I know. And works hard as well, too. She's never heard of a thing called "table manners" and she's just so grounded. She doesn't judge me and she's always so supportive of me. She's my singing buddy and my "listens-to-iPod-instead-of-pay-attention-in-Science" buddy. We both have similar upbringings and have the same values and she's the bestest support system I could ever ask for!

And.. I think I should stop before this gets too boring :)

On to more exciting news, I'VE FINALLY PURCHASED MY TICKETS TO THE FALL OUT BOY CONCERT! I told you we'd have an awesome climax, didn't I? And All-American Rejects will be opening for them! I'm going to go with Aphrodite and another friend of ours and I know for a fact that we'll have fun! Tyson Ritter!!!!1!!!!! Pete Wentz!!!11!!!!!! OMGZZ!!!

Anyways, hope you're all well and have a beautiful Sunday ahead ;)
