Naptime in yoga today! It was all "relax your muscles, be a sponge slowly dipped in water, getting heavier and heavier" but really, to a bunch of high school girls (and one guy), it translated to naptime. And I was so tired this morning, I almost enjoyed the pleasure of partaking in this activity. But alas! It was very cold, and all I had was my little black cardigan draped over me. I might as well have been naked for all the warmth it provided. But at least I could curl up on my mat and listen to Holst's The Planets for forty minutes.

The dance call backs for the spring musical were today. Very nerve-racking, but in an adrenaline rush sort of way. I'm not sure when the results will be posted, but I sort of hope tomorrow. Only sort of. XD; Then it was straight to another choir gig right after, this one at the governing board meeting. I suppose we were trying to show off so they would think twice about cutting music programs in schools. Personally, I think it's more productive and beneficial than our sports programs.

And during all that dancing I somehow pulled a muscle in my hand! It hurts like hell and makes everything I enjoy doing painful. ;_____; I can barely write, draw, type, dance, cook. Well, I guess it doesn't hinder my singing, but that's basically it. ;_____;

I am currently celebrating my first ever white chirstmas. Not home in the desert, obviously, but out of state.  It's pretty great, I love it. We just finished a Snow Jaba the Hut out in the front yard, complete with a Snow Solo, Luke Snowwalker, and Princess Icicles. Snowbaca is next. ♥

I hope everyone else is enjoying their holidays as well. I know my cousins aren't; it's taking them eight hours to drive a normally one and a half hour journey. So while we enjoy the holiday safely inside a warm, heated building, they are attempting to enjoy theirs driving seven miles per hour on precariously icy roads in a cramped moving vehicle. Happy holidays, loves!

• Half day tuesday and no school wednesday yay!
• Celebrated Zelle's birthday with an epic scavenger hunt and then back to some hotel in Scottsdale for some ridiculously cheesey horror films and lots of insanity. Surprisingly, however, we received no complaints, despite complete lack of courtesy on our part.
• Had to drive my brother to his ortho appointment all the way back in Scottsdale just hours after I'd returned. And since I got very little sleep the night before, I was extremely tired, and driving terribly. We probably almost died several times.

• The biggest fight we've had at school in a while, which included a large tuft of hair being pulled out of someones head and then carelessly discarded on the pavement for all to gawk at in wonder
• My government teacher thinks I'm a genius
• I lost my temper and cussed out a couple sophomores who were being incredibly obnoxious and immature

• The 'rents are leaving for Vegas and we get the house all to ourselves :D
• No parties however
• Because I work the closing shift both weekend days D:

So I talked with chibi-sama about a getting a one bedroom vs a two bedroom, and this is how it went down:

Me:  Tori.
Tori:  Yes?
Me:  I reallyreallyreallyreally think we should get a one bedroom instead of a two bedroom.
Tori:  Okay.
Me:  Oh. Well. Okay.

I had severaly reasonable arguments lined up and I didn't even get to use them. D:


Finally got to spend the weekend at maman's. It was nice, we just chilled and played board games and went shopping. She got a seasonal job at Toys R Us, which I am both extremely proud of her for and also very scared of. My mother does not handle small children very well. o____o

Luv, Cindri ♥
 

I went on an applying spree today and applied to three different places. Okay, so not much of a spree, so to speak, but very good nonetheless. I really hope Cold Stone calls back. I would love to get a second job there. Whilst filling out the application, there was a place at the end for any extra comments, and though I knew it wasn't really necessary, I went ahead and put something anyway. I said, "I always greet customers with a smile and a hello, and I'm not afraid to ask questions. I'm looking forward to preparing something for people that makes everyone happy - ice cream!"

YES I REALLY SAID THAT. don'tlaughatme >.>

One of the places chibi-sama applied to called her back today! But both of us need second jobs if we're going to be paying for both college and rent. Especially since she cannot live without her own bathroom and would much prefer a two bedroom. I wish she'd keep the one bedroom option open but it's pretty much already decided. We've even picked out the actual apartment. It might not be so visually appealing on the outside, but it meets almost all of our requirements, which is pretty awesome.

So we've moved out of my mother's and moved in full-time with my father. It's been maybe four weeks, and I suppose I'm getting used to it by now. But I dunno. Living in one house all the time? Sort of driving me crazy. I don't know how normal people do it. It used to be that after a week at my father's I'd be like "fuck this shit" and gladly welcome my return to mumma's. Then after a week of mumma, I'd be sick of her too and be perfectly happy going back to dad's. But not anymore. Now I get to learn to live with my father without wanting to strangle him constantly. Though I must say, I am improving. Mostly because I've been doing well in school and therefore have no reason to be grounded. Unlike Little Brother Bunnycakes.

So that's life lately. Been trying to concentrate more on school. I've learned that if you're in the top %15 of your class, you get your tuition at community college waived for like two years. Two years! That's how long I plan on attending community college anyways. Unfortunately, I'm only in the top %17. Two measly percentage points away. D:

Also; tire shopping today. Oh joy.

Luv, Cindri ♥

 

So, I'm going to homecoming? Ewww.

I was tricked into it by Chibi-sama. We're going with Alex, a girl on either arm. We'll let him feel like a pimp for a night.

Speaking of Alex, he still has a crush on me apparently. Which is cute, but sad since I don't return his feelings. D:

Oh well. At least Chibi-sama's letting me borrow this kind of cute dress that she stole from drama.

Luv, Cin ♥

RAIN! Although generally considered awesome, there were unfortunately a few issues today, mostly concerning my car. Basically, the windshield wiper on the drivers side is broken so I couldn't see through the rain while driving. Also, my tires are old and extremely worn down, so turning was getting pretty scary. It also meant that I couldn't take the freeway home because there is no way in hell I trust those tires going over fifty on wet, slippery road.

BUT WHO CARES BECAUSE HEY, IT'S RAINING! YESSSSS.

Our second creative writing project is a mystery (I mean, as in a mystery genre short story, not as in I don't know what it is). But umm, I don't think I'm very good at writing mystery. So to prepare, Chibi-sama and I are reading some Holmes by my good buddy Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (you may have heard of him before - he's a real stud). Oh yes! Speaking of Chibi-sama, she and I also got permission from Mr. C to work on this project together. Heck yes! This works out really well for her, since she can't write for shit, but she comes up with pretty good ideas. :D

Luv, Cindri ♥

Classes start tomorrow. I'm not really looking forward to it, but. Oh well. My schedule would be perfect if I were taking sociology. But it's only offered second hour, which is when I have choir. And I really wanted to switch out of pre-calc and into college algebra which is supposedly easier (an easier math class is much preferable considering I'm terrible at math), but it's only offered first hour, during which I have honers french, and fourth hour, which is when I have creative writing. So I'm going to have to suffer through pre-calc and hopefully not fail.

Which is basically what I did last year with chemistry, and that definitely didn't work out too well. Even though I was very obviously bad at it, I couldn't switch out because the only other lab science I could take that I hadn't already taken before was astronomy, a class I would have loved but was full. And it was full of people of who were smart enough to be in chemistry and physics but were too lazy. So thanks for screwing me over that time, smart-but-annoyingly-lazy-people.

I apologize if this entry sounds ranty, which I'm pretty sure it does. My only excuse is that I've been working all weekend and I am very, very tired. D:

Luv, Cindri ♥

Okay so, neither the baby shower nor the PANCAKE!NIGHT happened. The baby shower didn't happen because my aunt and my nana lost their house and had to move out. Which really sucks. They almost lost it a while ago but got to keep it because of some piece of legislature Obama passed or something of the sort. But I guess that was just life pretending to nice for once and then shouting, "PSYCH!" in your face while rolling around in hysterics on the floor.

And the PANCAKE!NIGHT didn't happen because Chibi-sama only had one dollar in quarters and nickles and she wouldn't let me buy her dinner. We had to go to Jack in the Crack instead. WTP CHIBI-SAMA STOP SPENDING YOUR MOENY WHY ARE YOU MAINTAINING YOUR BAD HABITS WHEN THE ECONOMY IS LIKE THIS HOW DO YOU INTEND TO PAY YOUR SHARE OF THE RENT IF THIS CONTINUES? ]8<

And yeah. Life. Gotta love it.

Luv, Cindri ♥
