Halloween!

Only 7 days late. :P But it's all good. Here's my Halloween! (And the day before, because everyone wore their costumes to school.)

Arienne's Party

Well, Arienne's birthday is really in the summer, but since she was away all summer, she had her party on the 24th of October (weird, huh?). The theme was the Renaissance.Ahough it was raining, we had a cool tent to sit in. So here's some videos and pictures from that.

Trip to Florida!

*fewf* Finally! That took WAAAAY too long. I probably could have made these videos better if I wanted to waste the time doing so, but I'm really too lazy. Anyway, you'll all get the gist of it. Enjoy!

Update and Upcomings

Yea, yea, I know. I've been lazy. EXTREMELY lazy. So, time for an update!

Currently, I'm working on getting all my video's from Florida onto youtube, but they kinda really suck because my camera's file type isn't compatible with WMM, which makes me sad. So, sorry! I have parts one and two up if you guys want to check them out, but I will post them all here when I finish them all.

Next, I have three video's from Arienne's Sweet Sixteen (Renaissance theme) also on youtube. I have one more to upload, and then I will post THOSE as well as some pictures here for you all to see, but only after I get all the Florida stuff up.

Finally, I've already taken some pictures today for "Halloween" because we all wore our costumes to school to show off. I will take more tomorrow and post ALL those after Arienne's party pictures AND the Florida videos. I will also have a proper rant in that post about the nature of slutty ("Sexy") costumes. -.- Bah.


In other news, I'm done applying to college!!! WOO!!!! All I need to do is send my SAT scores out and make sure my teacher's/guidance counsellor send the recommendations out, and I'm good to go. :) OH! Speaking of guidance counsellor, Mr. Bergin (my guidance counsellor since I was a freshman who retired at the end of last year) was at school today! Apparantly he was doing some presentation in the Guidance Office, so he wasn't dressed for Halloween, but it was good to see him! For those who know about my blue packet ordeal, Mr. Bergin totally forgot he had mine, and said it's either located in his desk which is "downstairs" somewhere or at his home in... wherever he lives now. Arizona?

That's really all I can think of for now, I'll try and get as much stuff done as I can this weekend so I don't stay all backed up with all of these posts. :P Have a safe Halloween peoples! Have fun!

Why's the Good Music Gone?

Alrighty, so I was in the car on the way home from Lake George today, and I heard a song on the radio. At first, I thought it was Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap, but to my dismay, it was some other song with just a part of her song in it.

Now, my question to you is, why are good songs being replaced/remade with crappy ones? Imogen's song was originally a heartfelt song about white men taking over the Northern continent way back when, but this new song was just another love song with one of her verses as the chorus. Why?

Another song I can think of that they did this with is Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone (also known as the Numa Numa song). Although, I don't think that song is nearly as good as Imogen's...

Poor destroyed music...

Bella Voce

I MADE IT!!!! :D

For those of you who don't know, Bella Voce is the best choir in my school (and I'm pretty sure it ranks pretty high up in the state's rankings as well). It's an acapella choir, and I've been trying to get into it since freshman year.

So... WOO!!!! First rehersal is next Wednesday.

School has begun

So, my blog's still looking very summery (with all the bathingsuit pictures and such) so I figured I should update. I've already been in school for a week now, and it's not too bad so far. This year, I'm taking: Law and Economics, Creative Writing (funniest class EVER! I love it so much xD), AP Calculus (I think I'm going to fail... we're still doing stuff from precalc that I KNOW and I'm confused because of how my teacher teaches... I wish we had more than one calc teacher.), PE (duh. I have a small gym class this year though, I'm usually stuck with the ones with about 100+ kids in it...), Graphic Arts, Chorus (duh <333), and English at DCC (Dutchess Community College).

For the college class, it's taught at the highschool, but it's technically considered a college level class, so we get IDs to DCC and stuff like that. It's pretty cool. I think this is only the second year this program has been offered to our school. It's also pretty cool because I only had to pay about $50 for my textbook (at the school you pay around $90) and I don't have to pay for the course. I have a feeling even if I have to do a lot of college writing for that class, it will be worth it because Mariana and Sam are in it with me (my two best friends).

I had originally also taken AP Physics, but after the first day, I dropped it. Firstly, because I didn't *need* the course; I had already taken regular physics. Secondly, the Regents is the final exam, and I don't want to take that thing twice. Taking the AP is good enough for me. Thirdly, although I liked my last year's physics class (the subject and the people in it), it's in the past and taking the class again won't make it as fun as it was before. Also, AP is a LOT of work, and in all reality, I'm just too lazy. Fourthly (is that a real word?), in order to take physics, I had to take Chorus only every other day instead of everyday like it's supposed to be. At first I didn't think it was a problem, but after the first day I was having music class withdrawls. :P I love my class and I love to sing, even if I do complain about it all the time because of the teacher or because of the songs. I just couldn't live happily without singing, therefore that class MUST be in my schedule everyday. Lastly, practically the only reason why I took that class was because Sam was, and although we were in the same class, it didn't really seem worth it (we have many other classes together throughout the day, thank God! Took the school long enough to put us in classes together :P).

My favorite classes so far are Creative Writing, Law, Chorus and Graphic Arts. Chorus is a given, Creative Writing is the funniest class I've ever been (because of the people in it and because of the teacher herself. It's WONDERFUL) in plus I have it with Sam, Law is fun because of the debating going on, and Graphic Arts is fun because I love the teacher and Ozzy's in it. (Ozzy's a good friend of mine.)

Now I'm going to go eat some ice cream. If I think of anything, I'll post it another day.

Oh! Today I played with bubbles during my free. Why, you ask? Because I can. It was fun. :P

A Long Awaited Update

Fewf! So this is a motherload of pictures and videos, so bear with me! These first ones are from Rae's swimming party she had a bit ago.

So this is from Mark's party, which was yesterday. It was a lot of fun.

This is from earlier today. Charley had to go to a party and he was supposed to dress "crazy". It's not exactly crazy, but it's very different for him. I went camera happy on him.
