Ewwwwwww. I hate this. I'm trying to figure out how to get a new layout, I've picked out one I like, but I don't know how to make it show up and I need someone to help me out. I hate this. It's so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so irritating kind of like repeated a word over and over and over and over and over like I just did.

...I'm sorry. Mila says I'm tired, and I'm starting to think she's right. I'm making more typos than usual and craving ice cream and trying to make myself comfortable on this stupid armchair and watching Smallville with Mr. Cute Man Whose Name I Can't Remember and just feeling all around shitty.

I've been really busy the last few weeks... I'm back now. Yay? Or no? Bleh.
Tired. Hungry. Got a volunteering job at library. It can be kind of slow, but some days aren't bad. More later.

Am I stupid? Like, really? Honestly? Because I took an IQ test. And my mom said that the average for someone my age is 140. And lets just say I got about 20 less than that... (127).

I feel so stupid. I'm such an idiot.

'Cause everyone else is doing it

2007-04-29T23:42:35Z

I'm going to come up with a music test, too. =) (I sort of suck at everyone's....)

Include the song title and album/artist in your answer. =)

1. Heartbeat of your children asleep in the next room.
2. 'Hang on tight, I'll be your bodyguard.'
3. She gouged her eyes out!
4. Aliens!
5. Said the whore, uncharacteristically.
6. Oh god, please just let those apples fall.
7. That's it! That's my purpose!
8. Just stay where I can see you douse the lights.
9. Tonight we just might go straight... right to heaven!
10. Our past caught up with us at last.
11. This is the dawning of the rest of our lives on holiday.
12. And if that's not enough, I'm in love with a lesbo.
13. My heart knows me better than I know myself, sir, I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
14. We'd leave the world's misfortunes far behind us.
15. Spring can lick me.
16. Take your moonlit hair.
17. Well it's true that we love one another.
18. Be my lover, and I'll cover you.
19. The traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere.
20. I need to buy me a dressy dress, the one that I got is such a mess!

Try to answer as many as you can! Most of those are pretty easy.... Some of them you might not recognize. =) (...You don't *have* to do this. There's no prize. Unless you want virtual cookies - any flavor! - and milk [chocolate too!].)

Just FYI: I made it a bit harder for ya'll, so those up there aren't the first lines of those songs. ^^

...It makes me sad I only have, like, 2 friends on my f'list....

I'm sorry

2007-04-27T02:20:57Z

I'm sorry it took me forever to post. I've been busy, and then in my free time I'm posting on LoSLI and finishing the other things I need to do. -.-

Well, anyway, there hasn't really been anything going on. LoSLI is insane right now. Danni and Tony got together, of course. Inevitable, huh? Jordan and Micky apparently did it already it, revealed in a Truth chat. So did Toby and Pixie, finally! Jamie and Collin are so squee-inducing!!! They're in looooveee. Kit and Heath are cuuute too (not including Kit)! They're very, "Iloveyou. SO, Thai food, neh?". CHAD is moving in with M/R and Jamie. That's going to be soooo weird. Jamie's going to run away. xD ---- Remind me if I forgot someone. EDIT: OH. Alex came over with his boyfriend, David, and they just met Xander and Ian. They're so cute. Except David. =)

I'm watching October Road, which is a very cool show. I'm waiting for Lost to move up on my Netflix list so I can finally do what Meg said and watch it. =P Also, I haven't been keeping up with Ugly Betty OR Gray's Anatomy. How bad am I?

Gotta go now. G'bye! (Might try voice posting next time, by the way. ^_^)

Practice Survey

2007-04-01T22:41:02Z

Name: Valerie

Age: 12

Location: Texas

Hobbies/Interests:

I like to read, because it's my way of calming down. I get interested in the story, and I just forget everything that's going on in real life.

I like to write, too. It's my way of letting things out. If I feel gloomy or depressed, I'll write a short story or a fic, and it makes me feel better.

Talking to my friends always makes me feel better. My friends make me laugh and smile, and nothing else can make me feel better than talking or chatting with my friends online.

1. If you were to attend Hogwarts, what would be your favorite classes and why?

Potions would be one of my favorite classes, because I think it would be cool to mix potions together to try to cure diseases and things.

Transfiguration would be another of my favorite classes, since I think it would be fun to change one object into something completely different.

I like doing things that involve stars and astrology, so my other favorite class would be Astronomy. I think the stars and everything like that is fascinating.

2. Without bashing any particular house, where do you feel like you least belong? Why?

I think I least belong in Slytherin. Slytherins are known for being ambitious, trying to get what they want, no matter the cost. I am ambitious, but I'm not willing to sacrifice anything I really care for. Say, if I had to choose between receiving a material thing and a friend or a family members' life, I know which one I would choose.

3. Who are your favorite major and minor characters in the series? Why?

Hermione is my favorite major character, because she's clever, strong, and kind. She's brave, too, and I think the combination of the four makes a great character. I'm envious of her, honestly.

I'm going to say that Hagrid is a minor character, and he's my favorite one. He's kind and I think he would be a great friend. He's smart, too, in his own way.

4. Which character do you most identify with and why?

I don't really think I identify with any of the characters, but if I have to choose, I'd say Hermione. Only because she's surrounded by guys - Harry and Ron - and so am I. Most of my friends are guys (not that I'm complaining).

5. What makes a person respectable in your eyes?

Someone respectable, to me, is kind. To everyone, and anything, no matter their race, age, or gender. They don't discriminate, or insult. They're honest, unless it's tiny white lies (i.e. "Did you like the food I made you?" "Oh, yeah, it was great." because telling someone that the food they cooked was bad is just rude).

6. If you were an animagus, what would you transfigure into and why?

I would like to be something wild. A lioness, or something of the like. Something wild, because I'd like to be able to do whatever I want, go where ever I want.

7. You are looking at the Mirror of Erised. What do you see?

If I was looking at the Mirror of Erised, I would see my family, standing around me, happy and problem-free. My mom and I don't have the best relationship, and I don't want it to be like that anymore. We're always fighting. I love her, and I just want us to be happy. That's what I would see.

8. You are faced with a boggart, what form does it take?

I'm afraid of spiders, alligators, and crocodiles. But that's not the form the boggart would take. I'm afraid of my family getting hurt, or dying, just like Mrs. Weasley. The boggart would take the form of one of my friends or family members, dead.

9. Give a quote from the books and explain why you picked it.

"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."

I chose this quote because I think it's true. As I said in question 5, someone respectable is always kind. If you want to know whether a man is respectable, you can look at the way he treats his inferiors; kindly, or not.

10. Speaking of quotes, what do you think of this one? "There is no good and evil in this world, only power and those too weak to seek it." -Quirrellmort.

I think that, to a certain point, this is true. Someone can be passing up a great opportunity to do a lot of good, if they're too weak to go after it, to reach for their goal, and to try to achieve it. But then, someone who's strong enought to go for what they want could be trying to achieve something that isn't good.

11. If you could have a dinner party and invite any 3 people, dead, alive, or fictional, who would they be and why?

I would invite the Dalai Lama, Hitler, and George W. Bush. I would want to hear what they have to say about all the problems in the world right now; their solutions. I also want to establish what I think about what they say, because I'm not sure at this point.

12. Which is thicker, friendship or blood?

I think friendship is thicker. You get to choose who your friends are - people judge you by who you hang out with - and you don't get to choose your family. Usually, you're born into the family you grow up with. So, you should stick with your friends.

13. Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason?

I would not use an Unforgivable Curse. Not unless I was fighting someone really, really horrible, that I had to kill. And only if that was my last option, because otherwise, I think it would be cruel.

14. Would you put your name in the Goblet of Fire for the Tri-Wizard Tournament? Why or why not?

No, I would not put my name in the Goblet of Fire. It's a weakness of mine. I'm too much of a wuss to start anything that could get me killed or severely injured.

15. True or False: Rules are meant to be broken. Explain.

Usually, I'd say no, rules aren't meant to be broken. But some rules - unjust, pointless ones - should be challenged. They're just put up to cause trouble.

16. Anything else you'd like us to take into consideration?

Not really, just that I think phoenixes are really cool.

17. We often use AIM as a way to get together and chat about HP and the community. If you have an AIM screenname, please let us know here: I don't have one.

18. How did you hear about us? If it was through a specific person's recommendation or through a post he/she made, please give the username of that person. shadowhisperer

Oh dear

2007-03-31T03:44:48Z

I am so nervous. I'm afraid I won't get into CastleHogwarts. *stresses* The mods are probably looking at my app, shaking their heads and /tsk/ing. aiehgian. Cannot deal. Can't sleep, either. Shit. I have a birthday present to buy for my friend before 12:00 PM tomorrow. And, well, I'm not sure Bath&Body Works is open that early.... Shiiiit. *stresses more*

SEX!!!

2007-03-29T01:48:28Z

Now that I've got your attention, I'd like to tell you what I did today.

I successfully finished one science project - now only 5 more to go.

Not.

I ate a grapefruit. And Meg ( shadowhisperer ) and I made a Wanted poster-thing in Skype Sketch Pad for Danni. It was so totally awesome. We gave her fangs. And huge boobz - the amazing ones, you know - and a short skirt. And we gave Amber a black heart. =) I had fun today. I am still in a good mood. Which is surprising. Seeing as... well I won't get into that. I might get in trouble. x|
Plus I didn't have any homework. Which is also very awesome.
Wellllll... I am listening to my parents watching James Bond (Sean Connery) in the living room. I want to go watch with them.

Breakfast:
Lunch: Chili hot dog + snack
Dinner: Super salted almonds; Munchies Cheese Fix; one of those tiny bottles of Coke

Lalalala shuddup

2007-03-27T00:40:45Z

So today in first period, Jonathan (the guy from the park who got hit in the head with a tree branch) told me that the bump started bleeding, and it's a scar now. He still wore his bangs down, instead of spiked. =P

♥

Wow

2007-03-25T18:14:44Z

I think I'm in love.

Running (fic)

2007-03-25T04:10:31Z

Running.
It always helped. To let go. Of him. 11 years is a long time to go. Without him.
I didn't know. That I loved him. Back then. But I do, now, I know I love him. But he'll never find out. Not that I wouldn't tell him, if I saw him again. Because I would. I would definitely tell him. He'll never know, though. Because in 3 years, when the high school reunion is held, he might not be there.
Running.
It always helps. To let go of him. To let go of anything. But especially him. Because I love him. Even if he doesn't know it.
I might not be invited. He left, and I just kind of... wandered. I wasn't the class favorite, that's for sure. Everyone just kind of ignored me. It wasn't horrible. It was just kind of depressing.
Kind of? Who am I kidding? It was very depressing. I sat at a table, alone except for my friend, Serena. She would make me happy. Unless it was one of those days. The thinking-about-him-all-the-time days. Those days, nothing could make me happy. Except
Running.
It always helps. To let go of everything, of the memory of him, his smile, his smell, just... everything about him. It helps to forget about him.
Even running, sometimes, reminded me of him. I remember running down that street, with the rain and the sprained ankle and learning about his parents. I remember being so close to him and....
Running was something to concentrate on. Something to use as a distraction from everything else. The everything else that hurt. The everything else that I love. The everything else.

CC's nice. :)

Eragon

2007-03-25T02:57:40Z

Well, it wasn't bad. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. It was very, very, very loosely based on the book. Very. =P I probably would have liked it better if the Eragon wasn't such a prettyboy, and they said more about his name and well... you know, made it more than loosely based on the book. But, what do you expect? It's Hollywood.

♥ (Thanks to Meg for that awesome little thing.)

I'm all alone today. Except my dad. But he doesn't count.

2007-03-24T17:01:50Z

My mom is gone, she's teaching a first aid class somewhere, and she won't be back until, like, 5. So I'm pretty much going to be on all day. Yay. Also, got some bitchin' icons from random sites all over LJ. Love them, ya'll (Yeah... that's my way of crediting. Boo Valerie). I especially love this icon that was some other person's icon. Which I have stolen. Sorry.

EDIT:

Oh, oh. I know who I got my Gray's Anatomy icons from: irenic_icons. Thanks!

Fun at the Park (After Dark)

2007-03-24T03:35:48Z

I had so much fun today.

I went to my friend Kenny's house, with Alex and Jonathan. Jonathan left, saying he had to drop off his stuff, and then a little while after that Kenny, Alex, and I left to go to Jonathan's house. Kenny was on his bike, Alex and I were walking (with our backpacks - ack).

So when we got to Jonathan's house, there were 4 guys there, all but one - Adam - on their bikes. That means, 6 guys. And then me. Kenny, Alex, Caleb, Jonathan, Adam, and Michael. Yeah. (I got flashed so many times 'cause the guys had to, you know, wipe something off their face....)

Then Alex went to get his bike. The guys were messing around (...No) like guys do, you know, shooting rubber bands at each other and pulling their shirts over the bike seats so it looks like... yeah....

After they were done, we all went to the park (Adam was being... really, really weird xD) and they were having conversations that went something like this:

Kenny: Johnny, you wanna go make out on the slide?
Jonathan: Hell yes.
Adam: Your mom wants to go make out on the slide.

You know, the whole time. (Someone would say something like, "Put it there" and Adam would go, "That's what she said.") It was really stupid and immature, but hilarious (yeah... what does that say about me?).

After 3 guys had left and it was only Kenny, Alex, Jonathan, and I, we were just hanging out. They had climbed up on top of a little clubhouse thing, and they were sitting on the roof. Jonathan had held on to a branch, and he was hanging on it.

Of course, it was inevitable, the branch broke and hit Jonathan on the head, leaving a pretty good sized bump. (...I got flashed again, then, when Jonathan wiped his face with his shirt....) It would have been funny, but it wasn't.

Kenny: Lemme kiss the booboo and make it feel better.
Jonathan: Okay. *leans forward*
Kenny: ...No. That's okay.

Then I said I had to go home and the three of them left to go to Jonathan's house (I just found out, after I called Kenny, that they hung out in front of Jonathan's house, then went to another guy's house, Demitrius, or something like that) and I walked back to Kenny's house, and my dad picked me up.

All in all, I had a pretty good day. 'Cept I have two projects due in April within a few days of each other....

OH! OH! I almost forgot!!! I got into the KPCN (that's the campus news station thing) computer stuff thing, where they teach us how to do cool junk with a computer!!! Yay!! I'm so excited about it!

Boo really short posts

Hai

2007-03-21T23:45:45Z

=) I'm Valerie (Jo's just a nickname).

I am... a self-consious teen (heh...). Myyy favorite color is blue. I'm ADHD (not really, but sometimes...). And I'm, you know, horrible at first posts. Obviously. And also, I've got a major guttermind. Juuust kidding, Lanna/Mila/Wild/Mocha/Jai. Hehehe.

I live in Jackson, Texas. I love musicals (Rent; Avenue Q; Zanna, Don't!; Spring Awakening; I Love You Because; The 25th Anual Putnum County Spelling Bee; and The Pajama Game, to name a few) and movies and fluffy bunnies and all that crap. =P

Well, that's all for now, folks. Don't be scared of my annoying, pointless, boringness. I'm not always like this.

*Koff*
