Current Pandora Station: LFO (Pop)

My thoughts on Publications: I think that having a paper online, is one, the most economical and logical solution due to the fact that newspapers everywhere have declining sales in physical papers, and two, ridiculously technologically proactive.
So there's that.
I also am in love with the idea of a more interactive format for the student body instead of the marketing scheme that the main website (davinciacademy.org) is. There's that.
Part of the calendar should have like national holidays such as the "Day of Pi" or "National Story Telling Day" or "NANOWRIMO" or whatevs, like that. It's fun, potentially boosts morale, and creates awareness of something bigger than ourselves. It could have like a clickable excerpt with a paragraph explaining how the day came around, and the like.
Also, part two, I've been wanting to do something like an online blog, paper, etc. since eighth grade, so I am overall psyched for this project.
And I think that Ian, Megan and I should write the horoscopes.

This Afternoon: My life is ruled by math homework, and studying for a trigonometry re-take, studying up on the novels we read in AP Lit for AP Lit test, and also has chemistry homework.
How much of it will I really do?
Probably AP Lit, and studying for trig. Heh. Let's be realistic.
But I really need to do AWESOME on the re-take for trig.

On Porn: I am not a fan, and in my experience, can be extremely derogatory and negative for the development of the human psyche. It is also a source of addiction. Plus, it makes me sick.

On Approval: Someone liked my stuff. And favorited five pieces, and commented on three. And then added me to their watch list. I feel like I should be awesome with it one day. Universe, give me the ability to be great.

On Friday: I had an impromptu meeting with Mrs. Kidd. Discussed how to bridge the gap that's formed between me and two of some prominent mentors/educators/respected people in my life. More and more, I think that it will be extremely difficult to ever get back to our easy banter the way it was before. And I'm unsure if I even want that. Do I still know them? And are they miserable due to their own actions or my own? We talked about how people have forgotten that if you really want to talk to Mrs. Kidd you just have to keep trying; yes, she is busy, and flighty, but if you really have something that needs to be said you can't just drop it in defeat.
There was also the discussion about dresscode, and she called herself out on how it hasn't really ever worked at all. And I will say to whoever is reading this, YOU CAN GET IT CHANGED, IF NOT REVOKED, IF YOU GO THROUGH ALL THE PROPER PROCEDURES. SEE YOUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT FOR AVAILABLE METHODS AND VEHICLES OF CHANGE.

There was also some other things that were said. But I don't know if I can talk about them (to anyone), they're far too personal to me. I probably won't tell my parents - Mrs. Kidd will have to say it to them. And also, if I find myself saying them outloud, there is the possibility of conceit and superior attitude being conveyed, and in some ways, I am far from that. But the truth is, perhaps I am really going to convey that - and feel it. I'd like to avoid that. I try not to flaunt my humanistic flaws.

One of the ways I'm seeking emotional vindication and closure is burning a CD (with the songs from the previous entry), and giving it to said individuals.

Current Pandora Station Now: Three Days Grace

On Jenna:
Dear you,
If she came back, and said that she wanted to sleep with me, would I be willing to sleep with her? Or would I be extremely emotionally tempted, but eventually use persevering logic to say no? In your situation, would I have been able to survive unlike you?
-Me

On Friday Library Discussions: Anyone seeking to hold a conversation, discuss something they're concerned about, need someone to talk to, the library is being opened as a safe zone for first amendment rights (as far as they carry in an educational system).
This friday and ever friday hereafter, in addition to the graduation party meeting, the library is available to students. Mrs. Kidd has decided, if not commited, to be available during this time also, so that you can speak to her about anything on your mind.
Overcome the desire to hide behind the idea that "you have nothing to say, right now" and help make the library a free forum!

On Rice: It's delicious.

On Prom 2009: I am officially Prom King 2oo9. I am pretty rockin'. I would like to make a statement about how open DaVinci is to challenging gender roles in our society. To attest to that is people's reaction to hearing that I won. Especially people outside of DaVinci's inner-workings.
This is proof that the dream still lives somewhere!
Plus, I got my hair cut Saturday afternoon. It's a change. I'm trying to change the universe's vibes for the positive.

On B&E: Right now it is 4:24 PM on Sunday. My mother just called (right now) to inform me that someone broke in one of the windows to our van, while it was parked at the Park & Ride at Saturn. As far as we know, there was no reason at all for it to occur, such as we had no valuables in the car. My mom sounded pretty shaken up, and I'm worried about her. Although, I have a feeling that my mother is more wordly than she acts in front of her children, but still, she's a sensitive soul. And I'm sorry that she has to deal with it all by herself. She called the police, and she's waiting for them to show up so she can give them a report.
But ironically, she was on her way to Costco from work (the Air National Guard base in Salt Lake) to pick up a fruit platter for Teacher Appreciation Week for the DaVinci teachers. Good deeds are surely rewarded by acts of human kindness, right?
Right.
Thank you, humanity.
