Capitalization for the WIN
Ok, so according to the USDA's calculators, which seem to calculate everything from breathing to power lifting as burning calories, I have an energy requirement of 3136 calories. What?? I admit that some days I don't eat as much as I should (which means that I'm supposedly loosing 1200 calories a day, which also cannot be right), and some days I skip out on meat, and most days I skip out on the fruits and veggies, but this still cannot be accurate!
Just another reason why things in health class annoy me.
So somebody in my school got TB and now more people are getting TB and now they're testing everyone at the school. Isn't that fantabulous? Coughing up BLOOD? I'm so excited! (see: sarcasm).
I just realized that I'm not going to be doing anything in concert band tomorrow (my teacher has to go to a music department meeting, and she decided she didn't trust us enough to do anything but sit and watch fantasia), and I won't be doing anything in honors band until Tuesday at the earliest (this is due to a series of events that decrees I be in both bands -graded in honors, but then my teacher was awesome and put me into an ensemble with one of my friends in concert band and three other people, which also allows me to not only be with my friend during class, but EAT with my friends during the honors band period). Now pairing this doing nothing with the fact that I don't have any history hw (for possibly the first time EVER) and I have nothing to do tomorrow for two periods except for hw due Friday, which means that I might not have any hw Thursday night, which means no homework until SUNDAY! YEAHHHHH!
If you followed that, you are a god, because I'm not even sure I can follow that. Do you think I go into unsubstantial tangents too often?
My neck is stiff. I blame winter guard. We have a performance Friday. Then just one at the St Baldrick's charity head shave event and we're done. Heck of a lot of work for only three performances =/ stupid snow.
All of that snow is supposed to MELT later this week because it's going to be 38 degrees. Is it so crazy that I want to wear a sun dress that day? Is IT?
Question: Do you think I've started using Maureen Johnson's habit of capitalizing seemingly RANDOM words too much? I don't think so, I think I do it PERFECTLY. But I'm starting to think that it's too hard to even figure out why I am capitalizing certain words.
How's that for a meaningless update? *nods head*

PS: On the MJ thing, I suppose my emulating her means that I like her style now that I think of it. And I am perfectly ok with that. Actually, I am totally AWESOME with that.

My life and stuffs. Yeah.
I'm sitting in my room right now wondering when the last time someone checked the mail was. I know I haven't checked the mail, but I feel like someone else should have. They probably have. I just don't know.
I had 2 and 1/2 days of school last week because of the MONDO-STORM that caused parts of my backyard to have snow taller than I am. I spent the majority of these days playing the sims 3. Other than the fact that I now have the sims 3 music stuck in my head from time to time, I say this was time well spent.
It's snowing more now. I think there's another inch on the driveway that we cleared Thursday.
I really want to go backpacking through Europe. Just once. It would be amazing, and I really think it could mean bonding time with one of my friends, not that I've proposed this idea to her at all. However this cannot happen the summer after my senior year like I want anymore, because my job this summer fell through. Unless I get a job at six flags... Let's face it, I won't be doing jack squat this summer.
We had this whole jazz festival that our jazz band went to yesterday. I like playing music, which is why I'm in jazz band (and because of bullying into it from two friends and my dad), but I don't really like jazz, and a whole day of it was just too much for me. I had a headache all day.
And then there is turnabout this weekend, and I don't know yet if I am going with my friend (who says she will know by tuesday) or asking a guy (which I know is the point, but it's not really something I'm interested in after the failure of the last dance I went to with a boy) or figuring out a group with some other friends, or not going.
I don't know if I've mentioned this one here before, but I am down to four (confirmed) non holy pants. I'd like to go to old navy some time soon to remedy this.
Think that's all for now
