Why yes, Joackim, I am a monkey. Thank you for asking.

Byzantium doesn’t interest me too much, so in 1st period I was thinking about what I’d blog about today. (Yes, it’s been said before, I am a loser.) I decided just now that it wouldn’t be apropos (oohh geez. 8th grade vocab! apropos!) tonight, and I didn’t really feel like it.

So perhaps I shall attempt to humor you?

Mr. Giel: They lied. I didn’t get the memo that said we’re not supposed to be dressed for the dress rehearsal… So I guess I’ll walk around in my tuxedo all day… (high-pitched voice) “Look at me! I’m an Orch Dork!”

Mr. Giel: Brittany! Wake up! How are you supposed to have a playing test if you’re falling asleep in your chair?
Brittany: Miiistter Giieel… It’s too early. I want to go to sleep.
Mr. Giel: It’s like 11 o’clock…
Brittany: So? I’m not awake yet…
[awkward silence]
Mr. Giel: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
[awkward silence]
Mr. Giel: Did that wake you up?
Brittany: Ugh.
Mr. Giel: In the future, if anyone feels the need to scream in order to wake themselves up, you can go right ahead.

Santoianni: We’re going to take some notes and watch a video. Question, David?
(David) Kilgore: I think it’d be beneficial if we had popcorn during the video.
Santoianni: … No.
Maheen: I like buttered popcorn!
Ian: We don’t have a microwave!
Samantha A.: We can make kettle corn on a hot plate…
Santoianni: What does that have to do with science?
Maheen: I like science. And I like buttered popcorn too.
Kilgore: Could it be a massive whole-class science project? We could all bring a dollar tomorrow, drive to Walmart, buy a microwave, and some popcorn.
Anthony: Mrs. Santoianni doesn’t have a car! She rides a bike to school!
Kilgore: We all go to Walmart on her bike, buy a car, a microwave, and popcorn. Then someone drives back with the microwave, and we eat popcorn!
Ian: Kilgore, that’d be a good idea if all wanted to die or something!
(Taylor) T. Rose: Hey! I want popcorn, Ian. Shut up!
Ian: Well you can go and die too, T. Rose!
T. Rose: Yeah? Guess which finger Ian?!!
Santoianni: I think now’s a good time to start our notes… Ok. Alpha particles.
Ian: I bet it would have been a thumb anyway…
[takes notes for several minutes]
Ryan: Oh! I get my license next week! Let’s go then!

I suppose you didn’t find those as humorous as I did… seeing as none of you were there or have any idea who these people are…

On a semi-somewhat-serious note: I have a lot of appreciation for people who can be brutally honest and blunt without being brutal. That probably doesn’t make sense, but I don’t like it when people keep secrets. Even if they’re not secrets, but just something you know you should tell someone and you don’t.

I’m also not happy with the fact that I keep getting all these surprises about people. Usually finding out something about someone should be good, I suppose. To the extent of: “Wow! You did that? Good for you!” As opposed to: “What?!? Why the hell are we friends?”
Maybe I’m just too unrealistic and too “good” myself, but I have high standards, and I keep finding myself wondering why I know so many people with such low standards.
I suppose that’s enough.

I’m learning how to say it: P(e)aace.

edit: I just reread this whole thing and it was really gay. I should probably delete it… but how about I just let you tell me how retarded it is?

edit numero dos: see here

i think it’s retarded that you’re having fun at brookwood. you’re suppossed to be so miserable that you cry for weeks & you finally move back because your parents come to their senses & realize what A HUGE mistake they made by taking you away!!!!!!!!!!!! yes i said all that in one breath. & it’s the truth. because i miss you like crazy. & i don’t give a (keep it clean, silly goose…) what people in your classes say unless it’s mean & hurtful & makes you want to come home. thank you for your time. have a nice day.

Armin says:

whoa whoa whoa…
No one said I was having fun at Brookwood! Trust me, I want to slap myself everyday when I see that stupid sign that says “Brookwood High School ATHLETICS” (with emphasis on ATHLETICS)
You should know by now that I’m muy reservado and I’m not one to vocalize my feelings all the time. Yes, I miss you guys. Yes, I’d prefer to be back at Dacula. But I realize the likelihood of that isn’t too high. I’m trying to make the best of a bad situation…
I honestly don’t think I have more than like… 3 friends. And there aren’t any I seriously think I can really talk to. I’m incredibly thankful one of them lives right across the street from me, but if you think I’d give up my Daculs (yes, Daculs.) for this crap, I’d suggest you reconsider.

Perhaps I should just add this to the post, it’s so freakin’ long. And btw, I know I haven’t mentioned it lately, but my fools will be coming over semi-somewhat-soon.
Believe it.

your a better stand partner than sun, its sad that you’re quitting orchestra and uphappy at school because of bad curcumstances. im getting a new ipod way the by..

Debo says:

yo, yo! that was actually quite humorous. i like the fact that your class gets fairly off-track as easy as mine do although your teacher doesn’t seem to care too much. and does she really ride a bike to school? that’s hillarious. i think you should take the popcorn though. anyway, i have come to the conclousion that i want an iPod nano. even thought they look so (what’s that word), i’ll say “measley” for now. anyway i like your use of spainish, for a second i didn’t understand what you meant then found out. anyway, i hope to see ya soon, be it planned or by coinsidence (which i doubt cause it will most likely be planned). i was wondering yesterday, when you make a song, do you make the music then the lyrics or vice versa? or does either way go? oh well, peace-up, a-town down.

hipoh says:

wow. i don’t even know what came over me. i HATE when i do that. i always over-react! WHY? armin why do i do that?i didn’t mean to make you feel bad. i’m so sorry. i really mean that. my worst got the best of me. & i hope that i’m a fool. haha ..
oh yesterday our language arts teacher called obed a retarded monkey! HAHA! cause he & michael were .. doing something stupid. i don’t remember. ANYWAY IM me when you get this please. love always, hipoh.

hipoh says:

thank you, love. i needed that. :]
“& if i made you mad today, tell would you love me tomorrow please! or would you say that you don’t care & then leave me standing here like a fool who is drowning in dispair & screamin .. so i need you”

Josh says:

Hey, armin. Glad to see that their is humor everywhere. That was funny btw. I love when teachers and classes get off on a tangent. It is always so enlightening. Wish you were still at Dacula. Have a great day, week, etc.
