So anyways...:P I'm so excited it's Sunday, and I dont have to go to bed early or wake up early!:D I have to work for 6 hours today, which is a lot better than 8. :) I hope they let me leave early. They wont.

09:27 pm: Yeah, so I sprained my neck. Silly me.

WOOOT IM SO EXCITED FOR TOMORROW. We bought like 80$ worth of candy and chips and pop. Its intense. GIRLS! we should rent a scary movie and watch it in honour of halloween!!!!

P.S. My math teacher is the greatest teacher ever.

10:28 pm: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYSH!!!!!!!!

06:00 pm: Have you ever wondered why siblings are such assholic bastards? My brothers purpose in life is to make mine miserable. I honestly think he sits and home, and plots how he's gonna be an asshole. He probably does research to find out exactly how to push my buttons. GR.

So I picked up 30 thousand applications for jobs today. I doubt I'm gonna get ONE, but it's worth a try.

My heels are all cut and scraped from a new skill I'm learning at gymnastics. It's so painful to take a shower. UGH.

10:01 pm: Hola chicos!
I'm so friggen excited. Mrs.G is officially gone from my life for a month. Tomorrow is gonna be the slackest day ever, except for friday when it will be as slack as it can possibly get. What a week!! OMG!!! Celeste is leaving on Friday, and I just found out today, because she neglected to tell me. Girls truely are bitches. It's like... our mannerism. It's in our nature to be bitches. We are destined for it. I don't like. Not one bit. I remind myself of Dr. Seuss sometimes. Speaking of doctors, I was watching Dr.Phil today (for the first time ever) during spare, and they were talking about how some stupid little morons play a game called space monkey, which consists of choking eachother (thats right, litterally choking) untill they pass out and start seizuring. So I'm watching this, and they're all like, "It doesn't maybe cause perminant brain damage, IT DOES cause it, or you could ger hemmerages, strokes," and like the list GOES ON. Then there was this guy that died from doing this. So my brother suddenly pipes up, and he's like "have you ever done that Nikki?" I was like... "Uhhh NO! I'm not fucking stupid." He was like "oh." I was like, "HAVE YOU!!?!?" and he was like... "yeah! lots last year! It's really cool! When you're done your seizure, you feel tingly!" I was like, "........!!!!!!!!!........!!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?!!?!"
fucking moron.

10:36 pm: ( Homework. )

02:04 pm: UGGH!!!
This has been a horrible day. Just awful. But not really, but it really seems like it, cause I'm in one of those moods where the littlest things make me wanna scream. I'm actually just sitting here pouting like a 4 year old. But all those little things truely do build up. It all started when I woke up to Sean Desman (EEWWWW) at 6:45 this morning so that I could get ready to go to gymnastics crazy early, then I ran out of time to eat breakfast, so I ate it in the car while making my lesson plan for coaching. So I train for 5 fucking hours, then I had to set up for coaching, then I coached till two. So, I was supposed to have 7 kids in my group, but instead 4 other kids who weren't supposed to show up, showed up. And 4 kids were screaming and crying cause they didnt wanna join the group, and all the parents are trying to get me to take their screaming kids, while I'm trying to run the rest of the class, and I'm getting so frustrated, cause the kids who weren't crying were jumping all over the place, and I was trying to get everyone to listen, and all this while my coach (and boss) was watching me in disgust, but there was nothing else I could have done. So she decided that she was gonna step in, and she messed up my plan entirely, but whatever. The at the end of class, she stops me before I could leave and she was like..."What happened!?!" And I was like..."Uhhh...?" She was like..."You must plan your lessons better!!" And I was like..."Ummm yeah, but 4 kids showed up who weren't supposed to be there..." She interupts me, and she's like..." Did you get their name and phone number?!?!?!" Uhhhhh OBVIOUSLY NOT BITCH!! I'm not just gonna randomly ask every 4 year old kid for their fucking phone number!!! So I was like..."No..." And she was like... "Why not?!?! This has got to improve! You have to plan better! I'm very dissapointed." So this whole conversation is happening while this new guy coach is standing right there, and I was trying really hard not to like, cry or rip her bulgy-eyed head off, and he's hearing all of this. And ever since then I've been in a erally bad mood and all the little things are bugging me. :( Sorry for the long, negative, stupid entry.

10:11 pm: 1. Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.

01:13 am: You guys... :(
My cousin almost got killed last night. :( He was at his job, at a gas station, and he was washing some guys back windshield, and then a girl was driving her truck up because she was next in line, but then she had a seizure, and hit the accelerator, but right before her seizure, she screamed, and at the last second Ricky looked up and jumped out of the way so he wouldn't get pinned in between the two cars, (If that would have happened he would have died,) and so he jumped to the side, and the truck smashed the other car, and the car went flying sideways, and hit Ricky, and he just this huge gash in his arm that took 14 stitches to close up and he got a bunch of glass in his head, and they put stitches there too, and he got out of the hospital yesterday, but he was taken there in an ambulance, and... :'(
I love you Ricky...
That was such an eye-opener. I'm like...in shock.

12:38 am: Today was a good day!! I finished drivers!! :D That was happy...so I'm walking to the bus stop, and I decided to go to Chapters to get a GossipGirl book, (Which I finally got!!!) when I see Kyle walking up!! I was like, whoa!!! HEY!! And then we hung out for like... an hour or so, and he walked me back to the school to get my report card, and I had to empty my locker, which was VERY scary. I have a big phobia of fruit flies. So then I got my report card, and waited for the bus for 30 mins, and then it didn't come, so I walked home and 2 seconds after I started walking, my bus drove by and splashed me. But yeah I got soaken wet from the rain and the cars and that bus, and then I had an eye doctors appointment, and those are always fun!

I have a mysterious bump on my head, and it's a bumpy sharp bump, and it really hurts, and its not on the other side of my head, and it's red. but it's underneath my hair and everyone but we has decided its a mosquito bite. I've decided it's cancer.

10:49 am: I'm scared of thunder and lightning! I have to walk to the mall and back in this crappy weather. :|

12:39 am: Where did Kyle go?????? He has suddenly dissapeared! :( :'(

I'm really tired, I'm going to bed soon...
I hate stupid commercials where they are stupid. And I hate stupid moms computer with it's not being able to do anything. It's speakers don't work, I tried to install them over and over tonight, but they're refusing to work. I'm amazed at myself being able to type without looking at the keyboard right now. I never knew that I did that. I got new shoes today!!!! They're backless pink ugg-type shoes! :D I'm watching a movie with Chandler in it right now, and it's really really sad. I love it. I have an eye doctors appointment tomorrow at like 5, and at 12:30 I have my last drivers class!!! :D That's amazing. I'm getting a free Ex wristband for Thursday! :D I'm gonna go with everyone. Saturday I'm leaving for camp for a week, then I'm coming back for a week, then leaving for 6 weeks in a row. It's gonna be so hard to leave. :( I think I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight.

10:18 pm: I forgot how much I like Eminem. He's still awesome! :D
