today's "accomplishments" & music

1. I made Locey blush because I started reading to her part of my sexting interview. She preceded to say "oh goll! wow. that's from a student? i'm really showing my age now."

2. I gave Jenna some awesome quotes (in my opinion) for the Commoner page.

3. I condensed 3 years of high school in 45 photos for the senior slide show. (Not included my separate section full of creepy folder-like photos...)

4. Overachieved on my gov paper, and Iverson held it up for the class. ...I thrive on school projects. Have you ever seen my poster boards? hahaha

5. My mom was going to throw out this sweater/zip up thing of hers because it looked weird on her, I saved it and it's really fun to wear/I wear it like a boyfriend sweater. Though, I wish it were a neutral/blue...not tangerine.

6. Took lots of facebook quizzes.

7. Listened to some exceptionally fantastic music, like this!

i don't like sports

but i like winning, and bragging. so i made a march madness bracket for fun. hahaha

gov
it was true. i drew in colin's planner a lot, contemplated juice coming out of faucets, said "RATAR!" in class and everyone laughed because they so are friends with him on facebook.

spanish
graded the test, everyone failed except hannah. i graded the uglier version of stephanie tanner's paper. 31/63 ya!

independent study
two classes' greek roots test, interview request forms. they kill me. wasl interviews with people who have p.e. are helllllllllllll.


after school
looking at dresses with megan, then me/megan/libby/robin went to the doctor's for megan's appt. oh and starbucks. we made fun of sexy t and did impersonations of locey a lot.

pretty boring day. oh well. 30 days until nationals.

hhhair.

for the past month or so, i've been extremely frustrated with my hair. so i'm going to do something about it. whenever my next haircut is, i'm doing this. like 1.5 - 2.5 inches longer than krisin callivari's cut though. haha but yeah, i'm excited. my hair is killing me. stop being stereotypically jewish, hair! it's not very fun.

not so fun facts

fun facts

1. janelle kapsh put FCCLA first on her list of activities for her letter of recommendation request sheet when she has never been to an fccla meeting before.
2. colin asked me to stop saying suggestive things about him and emily getting married. he used the "you're going to wwu" thing as an example of how when i keep pushing an idea, it doesn't happen/he doesn't want it to happen. and i interpreted that as him basically telling me to stop talking about colin/emily's relationship being fate so that it can happen. that means, i am not joking about colin and emily getting married anymore because i will not jinx it. unless colin ends up going to western, because then i will proceed with my cemily theories times 10 to make sure it happens. ;]
3. every time i wear my green spring scarf, i put it around my head like latika. sometimes i bring part of it over my nose/mouth and pretend i'm from iraq. yeah, i'm terrible. haha ~

maybe the mormons are onto something - i'm moving to utah!

Utah was just named the happiest state according to a study done.

gov
went over our tests, i missed 8. started chaper 16, i'm a powerpoint fan and love organization in that way.

english
watched hamlet aka talked/texted. oh and we had a quiz.

spanish
contemplated how i want to skip that class sometime. it kills me. all those sophomores are so determined and i'm definitely not. hahaha

social studies
i tried to give kelsey weber benefit of the doubt because she's allix's sister, but she's a total bitch. it makes me angry talking about her. i was like "yaaaaaa i'm glad you're being productive right now!" to her.

independent study
locey was like freaking out. she's about to crack. gretchen weiners had cracked.
between 5th and 6th period drew came into the back room for the sole purpose of a hug. <3>commoner
i put state and national countdowns on the board, and don't really remember anything else i did of importance? ha oh. chelsea nemec and i are going to welding on friday during 6th period. colin, you should come too since you have painting. ~photographer~


after school
yearbook with core four. core four as in jenna, colin, robin and i. haha we listened to current chart-topers in norway. the girl from m2m (don't say you love me, you don't even know meeee) is a successful solo artist now. :]


my house is a mess because jim started tearing up the carpet in their room and all of the contents from their room was put in my room, conner's room, and the living room. NOT FUN. i even knew my house could be anymore crowded. i literally scaled their king size bed (imagine me climbing up a mattress) and went over it/jumped to get into the bathroom. :] it was really fun.

i called mcdonald's, left a message for the girl who interviewed me before to say i was sticking around the area next year and will be able to work there now.

we find out if we win the house on or around friday. let's hope so. no clue what i'm talking about? everyday for two months, my mom and jim both entered this hgtv contests for a free million dollar home in sonoma (wine country), california. i know it's a slim chance, but it would dramatically improve my well-being if we won.





















dog house for lily.

i feel like today is my 18th birthday,

not my 17th. this whole skipping a grade thing really gets me confused.

all of my friends (in my grade) turned/are turning 18 this year, i feel like senior year is the "18 year" and it's only natural for me to feel as if, i too, am turning 18.

on my birthday card my mom wrote something about "only 2 (then crossed it out and wrote 3) years left until you're 20!!"

i saw leah at the rock and we talked for like 20 minutes. i miss her, she's fantastic. she's about to transfer to the art institute for graphic design since she's almost done with her AA at pierce.

also, at the rock, a ridiculously drunk (and attractive) customer named Terry came over. He marveled at my presents "that's a damn shitload of presents!" and led my family in singing happy birthday to me? he also introduced himself to my grandpa and conner. it was so funny. he was at our table for like 10 minutes. hahaha

i don't feel like blogging. buh.

GOV
test
what are pencils?

ENGLISH
hamlet

eric and i attempted starbucks but joe was standing in the senior lot yelling at people and we were terrified. we went to leonardy and did the hall of fame. hardest to forget: celeste and garin. most likely to succeed: k'vasea symth

SPANISH
ugly version of stephanie tanner announced to the class that it was my birthday.

SOCIAL STUDIES
worked on gay rights amendment with eric and natalie. learned that her brother was gay.
eric, hayley, laurel and i went to starbucks! we listened to the little mermaid, i had a delicious venti iced apple chai (payed in quarters of course!), and learned that eric's middle name is russell. :] and his dad's name. haha aww.

INDEPENDENT STUDY
had a long talk with megan. locey joined and we had a conference call about in-depth. i "worked on dummies" aka researched baby names BECAUSE I'M SO PRODUCTIVEEEE!

COMMONER
wished happy birthday by many, chelsea nemec wrote "happy birthday, taylor!" and drew a huge cake with a 17 on it. :] and then they all sang to me. i saved haley hamilton from the embarrassment of being sung to in class yesterday but couldn't save myself. i was very red but that was the best class for embarrassing moments to happen in since it's mostly friends/people i'm comfortable with. haha we officially changed in-depth to sexting. jackie ashley.

AFTER SCHOOL
coral, jalex, yearbook, fetticine alfredo. haha :]

Then later the family went out to the rock, presents, cupcakes, food, etc etc. i can't wait to wear all my new clothes.
