The Man Of A Thousand Faces

The Man Of A Thousand Faces
Good is better than perfect - Scrub till your fingers are bleeding - And I’m crying for things that I tell others to do without crying -- He used to go to his favorite bookstores - And rip out his favorite pages - And stuff ‘em into his breast pockets - And the moon, to him, was a stranger

My day: A Blog by Maria


My day can be described in about four different adjectives and emotions. It was lovely, annoying, sleepy, and euphoric. Now, may I have permission to explain each of these? Why thank you, Kind Sir or Madame :)

I shall go in order of when each adjective presented itself to me.


Sleepy. I am tiered. Last night I never went to sleep because I had to stay up all night and burn CDs. Why did I have to burn CDs, you ask? Well, my library has a 10 CD limit and I had CDs that were going to be leaving the next day. Ah! So I had to stay up and burn this music so I might get more music. Because I got next to no sleep, I was exhausted all day today. Ugh. Not sleeping wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the fact that I have insomnia. For those of you who don't know what insomnia is, it is a thing (I'm not sure if it would be correct to call it a disease or condition, so for now it's "a thing") where no matter how much you sleep, it's never sufficient enough to recharge your body. You sleep restlessly. You don't get a lot if sleep. Yada yada. You get the point. Well, because of my insomnia I get very little sleep on a regular basis, so losing my sleep last night was just the icing on the cake :/


Lovely. This is in my list because of Jade. Wow, you know what? I just realized I talk about Jade ALOT on my blog. Whoa. Dear me, I hope I'm not turning into some psycho in love stalker. (Jade, it's not true, I swear. ...Or is it? Dun Dun Duuuuun!) ANYWAY. So it was lovely because I got to hang out with Jade at school. I was in a bad mood because of my loss of sleep and everyone was annoying the crap out of me, but she must be immune to my cranky tendencies and, unknowingly, she kept we from killing a few people. Pat yourself on the back, dear Jade. Good job ;)


Annoying. As I just said, I was really annoyed with my classmates today. Three exactly. Who? Let me tell you... Wesley, an arrogant pig who has pride and condescension just oozing from his pores. April, a spoiled brat who thinks she knows everything. Alice, a bitter sore loser who blames everyone and everything--except herself. Get over it people!

Now let me go into more depth on why they annoyed me so. Wesley. Not much explanation needed for him. Wesley makes it a point to be a know-it-all (even though he’s really not as smart as he likes to believe himself to be.) And we all know how annoying someone is when they are condescending towards you. April gets on my nerves constantly, that is one of the reasons we aren’t friends anymore, at least not according to me. You can’t have a friendship with someone if they constantly annoy you. Well, today April must have been hanging around Wesley too much because she had caught to Condescending Flu too. For every single class she would tell the teacher that the reason her test score is so bad is because she just got back from her family vacation and, thus, hasn’t done her school in a while. So I comment and say that she could have studied while she was on her vacation. Then she turns to me with this cocky “I know how it is and you don’t” sort of air, and says, “No, Maria, I couldn’t. I was on vacation.” April draws out the last sentence, as if she were talking to a deaf five year old boy with an attention span as long as his pinky finger. Completely fed up with her attitude, I haughtily tell her, “Yes, you could have studied, April! You simply chose not to.” I said this as slow as she had, enunciating every syllable. She puffs a proud laugh and shakes her head at me. “Yes you can, April. Every single vacation I go on I bring all of my school work AND get it done AND enjoy my vacation!” GOOD LORD!! There isn’t much I need to explain on Alice. The description says it all. Our school had organized a debate and Alice was my debating partner. I did not care whether I won or lost, which was good because we ended up losing (lol.). Alice, on the other hand, is extremely competitive and completely forgot her senses once we lost and were taken from the competition. She threw an absolute fit. Next thing I know, I’ve been sitting with Alice for an hour listening to her tell me in detail everything that I did wrong. And today, she decided to complain to the teacher about the whole thing. She was saying things like "the whole thing was a stupid idea," "the judges were unqualified and completely idiotic," "her partner, me, was the most horrid thing to walk the earth" (I was right next to her, by the way) and so on an so forth. GET OVER YOURSELF!

Euphoric. This made its way into my day in a very simple manner, yet it was wonderful. What made my day euphoric was that a miracle happened: I aced my Science quiz! Science is my second worst subject (next to math) so this was wonderful. I am so proud of myself. This was really unexpected too because I didn’t even read the thing the test was on. OH HAPPY DAY! I’M A GENIUS!!

Comments are better than finding out you’re a secret genius :)

Love,

Maria
