About Me

Comic Moments: 1. Rollerblading, holding onto a string tied to the back of my friend's bike as she pulled me along (kids, don't try this at home! And yes, I do wear knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, and helmet, I don't care if I look like a goon! :D), we went up a hill and I let go at the top, went over the curb, and nearly did a face-plant on the feet of two popular boys in my freshman class. (popular = slightly idiotic, clique-y) 2. During the first performance of Our Town I knocked a huge, heavy, old-fashioned glass milk bottle off the inside of a make-shift shelf while onstage; it hit the floor of the stage with an enormous clunk after crashing against the wall a few times. The whole audience cracked up completely and the actor who was playing my character's husband looked out at the audience and laughed as well :D 3. While I was on my exchange trip to Armenia (june 2004), we were in a pizza parlor eating dinner and someone was making a presentation (so the whole place was quiet), and I dropped my empty glass soda bottle on my empty plate with a huge crack and everyone started laughing. Quotes I like: "Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." "Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and holds the universe together." "Forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race." "When you come to the end of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, FAITH is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly." - Barbara Winter "I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it." "Peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice." Motto: "You don't have to be male to dominate!" - off some poster in the gym locker room at school, but hey, I'm a feminist (thanks Jacque!) Absurdity: I have no idea what this is from. "There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer. When asked to define 'great' he said, 'I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!'. He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages." Hehe...: Lisa: Blender, french fries, Orion, watermelon/plum, My mailbox bit my hand!, MUFFIN!! Jacque: Portia is Brutus's wife, Marc Antony and Cassius are NOT the same person, Lexi that was totally 100% your fault!, Lexi you suck!, I am a dead slave... J: It's going to kill me! L: I'll bury you illegally! J: Then we'll have to find someone to bury you so that we don't wander alone forever.. Maddy: The deprived one...the dumb one.

You guys are going to hate me for this...doesn't it describe me perfectly?...somebody who was on the exchange trip I took recently (June 2004) to Armenia told me this (and if I knew how to make it slow down I would, sorry about the speed):

May, 2004: my freshman English class read and made a help website for the novel Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens (I made the websites for chapters 45-46, if you want to look at them; the link to our main page is above). It is, in my opinion, a terrible book (no offense if anybody enjoys it), so my advice is to:
a) Simply not read it
b) If A is impossible, don't read it while in bed or any comfortable position (you will fall asleep!!)
c) If you fall asleep anyway, no matter where you're sitting, have somebody read it aloud to you, while you do something active (like pace back and forth)
d) If there's no one to read it to you, read it to yourself while doing something active
e) If you can't understand it or the language, go to a helpful website (there's a link above to my class' help site)
f) If all else fails, hit yourself on the head with a frying pan and use your newly impaired memory as an excuse for why you failed the quiz ~_^
Note: The author of this site takes no responsibility for prejudicing people against this novel. (Kidding, kidding...I think...) All are entitled to their own opinions, and she would advise others not to base theirs solely on her bad experience ~_^
