Dizzy Park

Ahhh, the joys of dizzy park (aka the Mt. Lebanon park). Last time the superheros and I went, there were preteens creeping around the park. And of course, Sierra being Sierra, shouted "No preteen pda!"

So tonight after we got back from the grad party that Rebecca half-dragged us to (and by half-dragged I mean she said she didn't wanna go alone and Gretchen, Sierra, and I offered to go with her) we chilled at the house for about 15-30 minutes and then we gathered our cameras and cell phones (and G&R's little bro) and headed to dizzy park.

Well we got there and there was this old couple walking up the path and low and behold, there was a preteen couple on one of the spiny things. So we went down to the where the equipment is and I made the painfully obvious observation "It's dark out"..... wow I'm smart. So we attempted to take pictures and well, the dark didn't really help much. After a short period of contemplation we decided to can the posed pics and go for some candid ones. According to Sierra we seem to only go to dizzy park to get professional looking photography, so as I said, we went candid.

What resulted from that decision was a lot of sillyness and crazyness and such. If you really want to see the sillyness, check out the "I think they're 8th graders" album on facebook. The story behind that album title is as follows: this gang of wierdos/creeps notices us on their way down to the wherever they were going. So they come towards us all creepy on their way to their gang initiation type thing and they're totally checking us out and the one a-hole was like "I think they're in 8th grade" at which point, I turn to Rebecca and just start silently cracking up. And then we saw those same creeps on our way home.....o boy what a night.

Now we're watching Who's Line and cracking up as is to be expected when we're together. We are so exausted and acting as such! Well I guess it's time to "sign off" for the night so......until later/tomorrow.

Rain Rain....PLEASE go away

Dear Rain, Please please please go away... Love, Olivia

It is currently, and has been for most of the day, raining. Actually, right now it's pouring and thundering and lightninging. O joy what fun. As a result, I have been inside all day. Yes folks that's right, I have not set foot out of the confines of my house since yesterday evening. I have been inside this house for almost 24 hours. What's wierd is now that I think about it, I'm like "why haven't I been outside today, this is upsetting" but up until now it really didn't bother me. Maybe that's becuase I didn't get up till around 10 and then I spent most of my afternoon with my eyes glued to this computer screne playing Sims 3. Yes, I finally got Sims 3! I wanted to get it on Saturday but instead I got it yesterday. It was definately worth the wait!

Saturday I went to a grad party from 4:15ish-7:40ish. Before that I was hanging at my dad's place doing absolutly nothing. I would've been playing Sims 3 but dad said we couldn't go get it till Tuesday. :-( So I didn't really have anything to do seeing as I had banked on going to get Sims 3. Luckily I had Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in my purse so I read that. To be quite honest though, I didn't really want to read seeing as I had just gotten out of school the day before. But I read anyways. After the grad party, I went back to dad's for the night and read some more and then went to bed. I couldn't even blog or facebook while I was at dad's because he refuses to make his internet wireless so I don't get any internet connection over there and his computer is a piece of crap. So I was up a creek without a paddle.

Sunday was another grad party and then chilling at home. I honestly don't remember what I did on Sunday....O well.

Monday I watched my sisters while mom was at work and we went to the library to sign up for the summer reading club. That was fun....not. It was actually quite pointless seeing as it's all online this year and we could've just signed up online. O well at least we got out of the house. Then after mom got home from work we made a fruit salad and used melon ballers to make little melon balls and then put them in the scooped out half of the watermelon and added strawberries, blueberries, and grapes to the watermelon, cantelope, and honeydew. After that it was off to mom's friend's for a cookout......yum! I got a lot of cool artzy pics and some of my sisters playing with the little girl.

Tuesday we were with dad and then we went to Dormont park for some festivle thing or other. And today was a rainy day. I just hope it doesn't rain tomorrow because I have my first in car driving lesson with DeHaas tomorrow at 5pm and rain will only make me more nervous. Chances are I won't even be able to go cause dad most likely won't be able to take my sisters while I have my lesson. O well.....I guess that's life.

More later/tomorrow, I don't know which.

Red High Heels

Random title but it happens to be the song I'm listening to right now. (Red High Heels by Kellie Pickler).

So today was a pointless day at school but an interesting day none the less. I woke up around 7:35am swore to myself, threw on my clothes I had set out last night and left for school sans breakfast but hey what else is new. None of that matterd after 1st period though when I found out that I got a 'B' on my math final. That just made my day at school and quite honestly nothing else matters.

When I got home around 2:35, I had the house to myself which is ok I guess. So I went online and looked at sims 3 and realized just how desperately I want it. So I figured I'd take the random $10 I found in Breaking Dawn last night (long story) and combine that with the money I was going to make babysitting tonight and have my dad pay the difference. And as it turned out, I made enough babysitting tonight (4:30-9:15pm) to pay for sims 3 and the only thing my dad will have to cover is the tax so like $4. Eeeekkkk I'm so excited. Couple that with the fact that I only have 2 more days of school and my life is practically perfect right now. Wow that sounds really really REALLY pathetic. O well.

So babysitting tonight wasn't as bad as it could've been. I absolutly adore the kids I was watching, which always makes things easier, and I only had one of them the majority of the time cause the other one was playing baseball. So it was just me and the little girl (2nd grade) from about 5:15 - 8:30 at which point her brother (3rd grade) came home and brought a friend with him (I had told his mom that was ok). So then from 8:30 to when their mom got home I was watching two reved up boys and then the little girl who was as calm as could be until her friends showed up at the door and wanted to know if she could play. At that point I had just gotten off the phone with her mom, who said she would be home in a couple minutes, so I said ok. And just like clockwork, the little girl went out to play with her friends and the mom comes down the street. Not that I minded in the least becuase, as I said, I adore these kids; they are so well behaved.

In short, it's been a pretty successful day. In all actuality, I still have to finish Huck Finn for tomorrow but I'll probably just sparknote it cause I don't have the motivation to actually read it. O well it is what it is and like I said, I only have 2 more days of school; more like 1.5 cause we get out at noon on friday! Well I'm gonna go see if I can possibly have a chocolate lava cake so.....until later/tomorrow

Ex-Pro Chief of Surgery

Yes I know this is a bizarre post title, but it will make sense in a minute or two...or maybe never, it all depends on who you are.

So I was playing Wii for a good hour tonight instead of studying for my physics final...Go Me!! First of all the clock on the Wii lies, it told me it was 8:35pm when i turned it off, I come upstairs and get back on my computer and I see that the time is 9:30pm...FML! I was going to study a little bit, or at least that's what my mind told me I was gonna do. And I felt so happy that the time was only 8:30pm I mean then it didnt seem like I had "wasted" my entire evening. O well. Anyways......I was playing Wii Sports and I was bowling. So I bowled a game and scored a 137 or something like that and my Pro status went down a bit, but I figured I could bring it up agian next game so I bowled another game. This time I scored a 120 and I thought "well that couldn't have done too much damage" ..... boy was I wrong. That 120 lost me my Pro status. Now normally a score of 120 would be good.....extremely good if your me. But this is Wii bowling, which if you've never tried it - well its easier than real bowling, and my best score is 238. Keeping that in mind, I suppose a 120 is enough to break my Pro status into little tiny pieces. It's my own fault though, I haven't played for a couple months.

Then I decided I would play my Grey's Anatomy Wii game. So I put it in and load my previous game only to find out that I hadn't played since 4/7/09. Wow. So I went on to load my game and repeat a previous scene and then I got to where I had left off last time. I swear I repeated the beginning of that scene about 20 times just so I could "gather up" the right emotions to win the challenge. Boy was I frusterated! Well after I got the emotions, I got to do a surgery - I didn't do too well, in fact I probably killed the patient - and to make a long story short, I ended up doing the emotions about 5-10 more times before getting to do the surgery again, at which point I successfully completed the scene and got the ranking "intern." Now you're probably wondering why I said Chief of Surgery if I was only ranked "intern." Well I went on to play another scene and completed it flawlessly and was ranked.....you got it....."Chief of Surgery." So then I went on to be ranked as an "attending" and then as "Chief of Surgery" agian, at which point I decided it was getting late and saved my game and turned off the Wii.

So now I have gone into excessive detail about the hour I spent playing Wii, which is most likely of no interst to anyone but me. O Well .... too bad. (Random thought: This blog is getting to be as addicting if not more addicting than Facebook).

Speaking of Facebook, I have been "lurking" everyone's prom pictures and I must say, everyone looks abosolutly amazing. Some of my favorite pics have to be of the playgroup: Me, Annabelle, Glenice, and Alex. We've grown up so much. I remember when, well, when we were still in playgroup and spilling cheerios all over the floor of my old house. Or how about the endless hours of dress-up and bizarre games of prented at Annabelle's, or snowball fights in Glenice and Alex's backyard, or the endless games of Barbie's with Glenice, or even Alex calling me "Annabelle" and Annabelle "Olivia." Sometimes I wish I could just go back to those days, back to when everything was simple. But if we went back to when everything was simple, we wouldn't be as close as we are now, in part becuase we never would've drifted apart and then come back together.

The Playgroup

(From Left to Right: Glenice, Annabelle, Me, Alex)

Well, I'm off to bed now. Physics final at 10am tomorrow and then hanging with Erin and Sara. After that just random stuff. I'll post agian when I can. Until Later.

Go-Go-Gadget

Ok I'll start by saying that I have a sudden urge to watch Inspector Gadget. I think that is partly because I'm listening to "I'll be your everything" by Youngstown, but whatever.

I had my History final at 8am this morning and quite frankly it was a piece of cake. All that time spent stressed out last night over dates and people and events and terms was for nothing. Then at 10am I had my math final, which was the polar opposite of my history final: it was impossible. All that time spent last night silently freaking out while making my notecard was, well ok it was time wasted, but it had some clout to it. The first few questions were easy enough and I thought to myself "if the rest of the test is like this I'll be ok" then I turned the page. And that was the moment that I knew the best I could possibly get on this ridiculous final was a B...if that. Now I know this sounds melodramatic and what not, but my heart and all of the hope in it literally sank into my stomach. And to make matters worse, over half the stuff I put on my notecard I didn't even need and then there was stuff that I did need that wasn't on my notecard. Quite frankly I dont care what the volume of a tetrehedron with certain given verticies is thank you very much. GAH!!! Now I have to study for tomorrow's physics final at 10am. The only nice thing about that is the fact that there are review quizes in the online textbook and the physics final is the only final I have tomorrow. :-)

Other than that, I suppose life is good. Good except for the fact that I missed the entirety of the season premier of Army Wives last night becuase I was studdying for my math final/making my notecard. That really ticked me off becuase now I'm an episode behind and the season just started. Plus it's the only chance I get to see Drew Fuller, aside from pulling out the Charmed season 6 DVDs. And I really wanted to know if ClaudiaJoy and Michael left the base like they were supposed to and what is going on with Joan and her new baby and when she is going back to the army. And now I sound like a whiny two year old.

I absolutly cannot wait for finals to be over tomorrow becuase A) I get to hang out with Erin and Sara afterwards, B) the end of finals means school is almost over, and C) I'm sick of studdying. Well I suppose I should vaccume or at least try to find last night's episode of Army Wives online, or even better, study for physics. Until Later.

Allergic to Math

So after about 2-3 hours I have finished the infamous Math Notecard. Yay! Through this process, which I might add was very trying, I learned that I am indeed allergic to math. I kept sneezing while I was making the note card. In lieu of a long post I'm just gonna say this......I have finals starting at 8am and my mom is after me to go to bed so.....Night all! I'll post agian tomorrow!

Butt in gear/ ducks in line/ should be studdying

So I have this lovely little thing tomorrow called a math final ... an Honors Advanced Precalc final to be exact. This lovely test consists of 35 questions in 90 minutes with a notcard full of equations and other helpful hints. Sounds managable right? Wrong! First of all, the final is written by my math teacher which means its going to be rediculously hard. Then there's the small miniscule matter of what the hell do I put on this notecard. Well the answer is obvious.....equations, stupid head, equations! And although that may seem like an easy thing to do, its not. Try cramming equations from chapters 7-15 on a notecard along with notes on how and when to use them and o yeah....make sure its legible while your at it. And on top of all that, factor in the 175 question US History final a mere 30 minutes before hand. O yeah and....and...lets add the fact that these finals start at 8am tomorrow morning and I have yet to make this infamous notecard and remember oodles and noodles of people, terms, and events for my USH final. GAH!!!!!!!!

Now I know it seems like I'm bitching about all of this and quite frankly I am. It's currently 8:15pm and I haven't finished any of my study guides, I have no clue what the hell I need to know for any of these finals tomorrow let alone my honors physics final on Tuesday. I am so so so so so so so so SOOOOOOOO stressed right now! The only bright side to this is that after Tuesday, I am virtually done with Junior year and starting on Friday, I am officially a Senior because the seniors graduate on Thursday. So on the last day of Junior year, I will be a seinor. Makes absolutly no sense, I know.

It's times like these when I realize what a true procrastonator I am. I have truly lived up to the nickname my dad gave me years ago "Princess Piddle." It's also times like these when I find myself in desperate need of new music. I don't know why, but for some reason new music always seems to make everything better. Once I finish posting this, I'll probably get on Frostwire/iTunes and get some new Linkin Park songs or maybe some Adam Lambert songs, but most likely I'll get a combo of the two. (Random thought of the day: Adam Lambert so should've won American Idol) Anyways....

Now that I have successfully expelled some of my stress into this post and have left it here to fester and infect some of you (JK guys....JK), I suppose I'll move on to more important matters. Last night I reverted to my six year old self and watched my VSH of a Backstreet Boys concert, followed by Mary-Kate & Ashley's Our First Video, followed by School House Rock: America Rock. I realized as I was watching these seemingly juvenile films that A) I was way innocent back in the late '90s & early '00s becuase BSB had some way sexual dance moves. B) I was and most likely still am a complete dork/dweeb/nerd seeing as how i could and still can tell you exactly which Backstreet Boy is singing which part of the song, all while flawlessly singing all the words. C) I am the biggest little kid ever! What sane 11th grader would sit in their living room two nights before finals reliving their past?!?! I also realized today at BL's grad party that I spend way too much time being influenced by my little sisters. The DJ started playing "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus and I, unfortunately, knew all the words.

Well, I have successfully procrastonated for roughly another half hour. (I spent about 15-20 minutes before this taking random/pointless quizes on Facebook). So I suppose I'm going to try to make this notecard for math and then study more history and then try to post agian before i go to bed. So ........ until later!

Hey!

Hey!

So this is my blog...duh! I'm gonna try to update everyday but we'll see how that goes...Lol!

Right now I should be studdying for finals, but as you can tell, I'm not. In all honesty, studdying for US History is quite boring. There are so many people and dates and terms and events to remember, it's overwhelming.

Prom was on Thursday and man am i tired. The actual prom was from 10pm-5am and I got home around 5:30am and went to bed around 6am. Prom itself was very fun. There was a hyptonist, which i might add was very amusing. My mom says the people who were hypnotised were acting, but i beg to differ because quite frankly, she didnt see what the people who were hypnotised were doing. Man was that funny. The only downside is the fact that I'm still EXAUSTED.

Wednesday was the seniors last day of school. :-( I miss the seniors so much even though I saw most of them at Prom.

Well....I think I should study for finals some more, or at least try to get some sleep. I'll try to post again later.
