Guess What, VFK!!!!!



So awesome!!! Do you see that? I'm #23 on the list of people who completed the quest fastest! I've wanted this for maybe two years!!!! It's amazing! I'm finally on the list!! EEEEEEEE!!!!! The list is awesome! I cannot believe it, but I'm so freaking happy! I've wanted it since I first saw VFK and had to wait to get in. This is so amazing!
VFK has changed a lot- They've added a whole "Epic Ages" section of the map. Which is, actually, quite epic. It includes Space age, Splashtactic, Icetastic, and the Open Road. Which is what you get to go to once you complete the transportation quest- I'm working on it lol.
Tomorrow I find out which high schools I've been accepted into. Everybody wish for Eastlake!
Not much to say- except I really have to finish my homework and go in the shower. Ugh. Lol.
TTYL, and wish me luck with the school thing,

F-U-M-I-N-G Spells Fuming


The one thing I absolutely loathe more than anything is skipping school. That entails being tardy and leaving early for no reason. I hate it even when I'm sick, actually. So what does mom do? She takes me out early in the middle of science. Yeah, that's right. The middle of science. That's 2 and a half periods I missed! And worse. she canceled brain bowl. What the heck is up with that? I get it that Jul's sick and all, but you know that we only have like 2 weeks left to practice. And I was excited and everything! What a perfectly cruel way to ruin a dress out day.

It was an 8th grade only dress out day, for the yearbook pictures in the beginning. It was pretty fun! We all went on the younger kid's palyground and swings and Mrs. Hong took our pictures. We were running and having fun and it was awesome! I miss swinging on the swings :) I used to be the girl you'd ALWAYS find on the swings, no matter what. (Or talking to Mrs. Hill. Who still owes me a game of Othello!)

I'm working on my Half-Blood Idol video. I still need somgs for Annabeth, Luke, Athena, Poseidon, Artemis, Zeus, Bianca, and Tyson. There are 15 members total. And once I finish the week one video, I'll put it on youtube. I can't wait to finish it!

I'm gonna go eat pizza, watch the Big Bang Theory, and go to bed. Well, probably not right after I watch it. And my hair is curled right now! It's all bounsy and fun and awesome! Oh, and here's a picture I just uploaded:

I Feel Like a Spy

First, I'm sorry it's taken so long to post. I haven't had time! Actually, that's a lie. I've had time, I've just been choosing to write. (Which it really good!) I've started this thing that I found on Karen Fox's website that says you should try to write two pages a day. So instead of a word limit, I'm doing pages. I missed Monday, but I wrote 3 and a half yesterday, so if I write 3 anda half today I'll be all caught up! I know, I'm going to post an update soon. Part of the battle scene is now written, because Nick and Sean wanted me to write Sean's death. (Teagan was originally going to kill him (They did rock-paper-scissors) but Nick said he wanted to, so I kinda changed it.) But I think it's okay.

Yesterday, I watched a friggen 4th grader make my buddy cry. I was in the car, waiting for my mom to come out of school, and they were in after-care. The 4th grader falls off the slide, then turns around and starts screaming at Kendall, saying she pushed her. Well, common sense would be nice. How is a kindergardener going to push a 4th grader off a slide? Point is, I finally get out of the car (I remembered to take the keys and my phone with me) and go over to Kendall and her face is streaming with tears. Stupid 4th grader.

I'm assuming you want to know exactly why I feel like a spy. I really do. There's a teacher meeting, so I'm stuck in 5th grade all alone (Jul's sick). I just hacked into my mom's computer. (Her password is ****** I guessed it.) And then I snuck into the 8th grade room to rescue my graph paper, which I need for my homework. Unfortunately, I'm typing this instead of doing it... so it kinda defeated the purpose. But the lights are off and the whole building is silent. Exactly why I feel very espionage-y.

We did a lab today in science. I got paired up with Nick. (Again? This is like the 6th time in a row.) It was with clay and you had to show the chemical equations with the clay. I kept telling Nickolas what to do. It was pretty funny 'cause he was getting annoyed and everything. But not too annoyed, otherwise I would've cut it out. But if he got to play with the clay, I got to explain how to make it. (Lol) But we actually finally talked during this lab. The last three, I think, we barely talked because of something Sara told him about me. But I don't know what it was, and he obviously knows better than to listen to her now.

Oh, another reason I feel like a spy. Today, in SS, we started the "simulation" where we get a new identity and have to budget our finances. But it's pretty awesome how we get a cover and everything! Unfortunately, I'm a single plumber with a 7 year old girl. (No, I did not pick it!) Does that mean I was divorced or widowed? That kind of stinks, but oh well. This is still fun!

I wanted to write so many more things, but I forget what they were! Ugh! Lol. Oh! I made a roleplay site. It's demigodsunite.webs.com . It's for Percy Jackson fans. I'm getting Danielle and Elizabeth to join!

That reminded me, I went to see Percy Jackson with Hannah and Danielle. Compared to the book, it stunk. The books are like the best books in the world. Seriously. Well, besides Gallagher Girls and Twilight. Those 3 top my list.

I'm thinking I should start my homework now, before the meeting ends and I'm caught on the computer. A good spy never gets caught, right? I promise to post more as soon as I can, and not have a 15 day difference!

I love ya!

Cheats & Braids & Life & Love

The & Love has nothing to do with this post. While I was writing the title, I was reminded of a song and I put the ending lol :). Pretty cool picture of me and Kendall. She looks so cute!!!! Her hat is upside down, I think! The reason it says "Jessica" on it is because it was my facebook profile image.

At this point in time, you're probably wondering about the title. (Or singing it in your head. It could totally be a song, admit it!) Well, it could stand for many, many things in a young fourteen year old's life, but I think you'll find out soon. Lol.

First, I wrote a haiku! Hehe, this, I guess, could be for the "& Love" part of the title. Even though I said it didn't mean anything. 'Cause I'm tricky like that. Lol.

My heart skipped a beat,
The moment his eyes met mine,
I knew it was real.
I think it's 5,7,5 syllables. I counted how many times! Lol, but I don't know.
So the "Cheats part of the title could mean many, many things. Or it could mean what I'm doing right now. Or what I'm about to post that could help in the future. This was on MLIA, and it has to be one of the greatest tricks known to man. Or the teens who read MLIA.

Today, I saw a story about someone not being able to get onto MLIA at school because it was blocked. Well, if you type in "https://" instead of "http://" you can get onto any site that is blocked by the school's firewall. You're welcome, MLIAers. MLIA

Yeah, that's awesome. And I plan on remembering it. 'Cause everything is blocked in high school. Lol. I'm online because I need to work on Spanish. I don't know if that officially counts as cheating if I'm using Google Languages, but I went to the "check you answers" part of the website where she got her worksheet. Half was done correctly, though most of that was through the help of Alicia and Nick. (We were a group in Spanish today.) And, I'm helping Zack with his Religion. Yup. That basically means giving answers :).

When I went to Jul's piano recital thingy on Saturday, I saw this girl who had her hair in a ponytail, but it had a braid in it! It looked so cool! So I've worn a braid in my pony yesterday and today. And my contacts. But those hurt, so I ended up taking them out in Religion. And my eye is still sore and red and everything.

My knees are sore, too. 'Cause I slid and fell down thrice in PE. (Hehe. Thrice. What a cool, old sounding word. Yup. I'm such a word-nerd. Lol.) But I think I played pretty well, considering dodgeball isn't my sport. But, hey, I try. Unfortunately, Mrs. Schaibly is making me do track. She asked me why I wasn't doing it, and I told her that I didn't want to do it this year. She responded with "Why not? You're fast. I'm putting you on the list." Well, I don't care how many times she puts me on the list. I don't have the time. I have a deadline to meet, anyways. Plus, quite frankly, track is boring. Two hours of nonstop running for like four weeks for only two track events is terrible. It's torture. Yup. But I'm scared to tell her that. Elizabeth said she'd come up with me :). But Alicia, Zack, Sabrina, Danielle, and I are trying to think of ways to get me out with an excuse. Like, doctor's note (don't know any doctors), sprained ankle (painful, but I'd be willing to do it!), be absent on the day of try-outs. (Zack'. And probably the easiest way to do it, too.)

We took those stinking lexile quizzes in Writing today. Since it was the only period Mrs. Robinson has with us in the computer lab. Mine's 1327. But I really don't care what it is. And that's low. For me. I think the highest you can get is 1500, though. But I'm not letting a stupid number tell me how high I read. I read at a sixth grade level in second grade, and a twelfth grade level in fifth. Plus, all the books they recommend I've already read.

We finished Ulysses. Or, we will tonight, for homework. It's sad how we finished it that quickly. I hope we get to do a project on it. Because the mythology unit is my favorite!!!

Talking about mythology, Zack, Hannah, Danielle, and Nick (Zack invited him) are planning to go see Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Those were good books. But the trailer says it comes out President's Day, but the site says the 12th. Yeah, life's confusing like that. But hopefully, we'll go this Saturday.

There's a dance on Friday, for Valentine's Day. But I don't know if I'll go.
ILY!

Ok, Ok, So It Wasn't All Bad

Today was supposed to be so exciting. Like, really, really, exciting. But the morning really wasn't that good :'(. I knew it wouldn't be good this morning, when I woke up and the first thing that gets forced at me is that I'm going to have to go to the stables with Julianna after school, since she couldn't take the time to bring me home. Which I really didn't want, there's lots of bugs, and dogs running around. Ugh. I knew Jul wanted me to go to take pictures, though.

And then I go to school and sit in the cafeteria, while the guys were writing on their PE shirts. (Which they weren't supposed to be doing, anyway.) I go, totally nonchalantly, that I want to be #10. ('Cause, you know, it's my number.) But then like 20 people turn around and start yelling at me, and Tommy's just like "No! You're using your class #. I'm ten!!!!!" And, I mean, really, I didn't know! It's like, gee, I'm sorry, no need to raise your voice.

In Homeroom/SS, I found out that Zack broke his ankle. In basketball or something, but that's all I heard. And the guys were laughing at him. (He wasn't there, though.) I was like, "WTF, shut up! Someone gets hurt and you make fun? Really?" But I didn't actually say that. Well, I said it to Danielle... just minus the first 3 letters :). It was cruel, I don't know why they would do it. They're stupid and mean. If you're reading this, Zack, I hope you feel better!!!!

2nd period was the 8th grade takeover! I got fifth grade advanced math! With Mrs. Maclean :). There were only 8 kids, and they were so quiet. But we got through everything, so that was good. It totally brought back memories of my fourth/fifth years. And sixth. It was fun! I got to use the overhead, and write in her grade book :)!!!!

I had to finish my brochure in computer. Snack I decorated my shirt. I'll include a pic later. Then we had english, and spanish. Easy. Then lunch. I told Danielle that I had "breaking news" and she understood what I meant. So hopefully, when she comes over Sunday for the Ecuador project I can tell her. Britt, you already know. If you read the PM. Lol. And then, it was time. *Dramatic Music*

The volleyball game; 8th grade verse teachers. It was a definite show down. We creamed them, though. We played six games, and won all of them. It was awesome. Poor teachers, couldn't even win one! Haha, Mrs. Boyden served, and Danielle would cheer for her! Very awesometacularly fun! I took videos, and I'm going to make two videos, a short one for youtube, and a longer one just to use all the clips. We knew we would win, though. And with my little "gift" (Hehe, Danielle, Brit, anyone who gets my abilites to make stuff happen, lol!) on our side, we had to win. It was destiny. Haha, not really. Lol.

After that, we had and ice cream social. It was good!!! I had red vanilla ice cream. (They dyed it!) Kendall was happy, too :). Currently, I'm still in my uniform. (From the game, with #5 and Jess on it.) And I can't wait to make the videos. But I also have to write a thank you note to Karen Fox and read the manuscript. Oh, and Laurel told me my nickname should've been "Bookworm" ((Liz's nickname in Gallagher Girls!!!)) but Danielle said it should've been "Stalker" since I pay attention to every detail. Right now, outside my window, it looks eerie. It's all red... interesting! Lol. Hopefully, tonight, I'll get the vids and the thank you note done, so I can watch the Big Bang Theory that I taped.

OMG, LOOK! It's The First of The Month :)

It's Febraury 1st. I feel this year slipping away, it's already been a month. I need to finish that book! Well, I'm going to do what Karen Fox says on her website, and write (or at least try to) 2 pages each night. I don't know if I'll be able to make it. But I can make up for it on weekends if I don't. ((I don't really think the year is going by that fast. I still have eleven months left. Wow. When I put it like that, there really isn't worry. Lol.))

See that picture? Yeah, it's a set I made on Polyvore a while ago. Butttt, guess what. I made it 6 months ago, and it's still being commented on. Currently it has 33 faves, and 46 comments. Yes, it's that popular! Haha!!! But it's not even a fashion set, so that's pretty good. I actually made it as a joke, like how everyone does team vampire or werewolf, and this is like both of them in other roles... Yeah. But people took it seriously, and really commented. A couple of examples of comments:
JUICY:GIRL!!!♥F L O R A♥™ wrote 6 months ago
"TEAM SHARK"
♥Sianny♥ wrote 6 months ago
"Is it weird that I thought he was hot in Harry Potter? Team Wizard all the way. "
.:I:LOVE:LIFE:. wrote 6 months ago
"gah! i cant choose.... i loved him in harry potter but i like taylor lautner SO much more"
Bowl of Butter wrote 4 months ago
"TEAM WIZARD!!! "
Polyvore10 wrote two months ago
"WIZARD! Ur u kidding? OMG I agree that Taylor should have a thing with being a animal! LMFAO That are both actors that are in my favourite 2 things in the world! The Bloody Hell Twilight and the OMG Harry Potter!"

Yup. Lol. But enough of that set... Let's talk about the day. I guess. Lol.

So, today was pretty good. I made up my science and spanish quizzes from when I was absent, but I still ahve to take Religion and Literature. We went with our buddies in Religion, and Kendall loved her camping trip. Her favorite part? Getting muddy. That would be my favorite, too! Lol. We then had a very, very detailed discussion of blanket and pillow forts.

I still have to make a pros-and-cons list, and everything else, but right now, I have to go eat. And get changed. And finish all my homework. Which is a lot, I tell you. Eng, Math, Spanish, Science, Religion... Yup! So I g2g. Hopefully I'll write my 2 pagesof TCB... and maybe if I do, I'll give you guys a sneak peek. I know you want it. Lol.

TTYL,
-Jess
