Okay blah blah blah that subject that i was just about to blog on was boring, so lets completely change the topic of this blog post.
This November its novel writing month where it challenges you to write a 50,000 word novel. I have heard about it in the past and seen participates in it writing furiously. So i want to challenge myself to do the same. Oh boy i am feeling really good about this. My fingers are just itching to fly across my keyboard at speeds they've never traveled at before. I am ready to take on this challenge.
I feel my competitive self surfacing. I am going to make some sort of a game plan and i am going to make sure i do this. I have this blog post now to make sure that i am going to do this. So i can't back out, and please DON'T LET ME!
Recently over the summer i wrote a story that has a 14,954 word count (i just checked). It took me about two or three days to get up to that because i was just flying. So if i can write about a third of the total 50000 word requirement in three summer days, i can definitely find every possible moment of free time that i was going to use watching america's next top model and write my freaking brains out.
I was telling myself, Amy you don't have the time, you are so busy with work and school and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Well what makes me think that next november when i will be attending college that my life will be any less hectic? Lets get over that, if i want to do this i have to just do it. I am excited! i may cheat a little i.e working out the plot a little bit before november, but i am serious about this.
50000 words baby! don't let me not do this. And if i don't make it, i will buy whipped cream and fill a whole pie tin with it and i will give you special permission to stuff that pie tin in my face. So what do you say, will you help me??

"Walk in someone elses shoes..." blah blah cliche cliche blah
Yes i am addressing this topic. Perhaps I am tackling it because just today I stopped in the middle of the hall, and started talking to a someone i don't normally chat with and within two seconds of our greeting i dived into this deep topic. I think she was a bit taken aback by my offhand conversation but I think I just needed to reason this out outloud, and it would have been weird if i started talking to my self.
So right in the middle of a crowded hallway with people rushing by with an intense desire to get to class and to gobble some food down all around us I stopped and had an intellectual conversation( i love having these!) with my friend, Amelia. It didn't last very long, about two minutes, but that's all that was necessary.
You could say it was an Ah ha! moment or one of those moments when you have an oddly hovering light bulb over your head that clicks on. It would have been appropiate for me to shout "Eureka!" (Don't tell anyone but I have secretly wanted to say this ever since i watched these science Eureka videos in elementary, oh the affect elementary has on our lives...) This is probably how the person that made that cliched phrase felt when he thought it up.
Not everyone can actually begin to understand this trite phrase until their remove the selfish veil that shrouds their vision. And everyone has it. Everyone is so absorbed in their own lives and struggles that they hardly ever think about someone else's needs. Well at least this is how i basically am. I just sit their and pity my self and feel so sorry about my lives struggles.
Well today again I was contemplating the deep dark depths of my heart and my inner demons, when I realized, EVERYONE DOES THIS! They think about whatever is going on in their lives. And this is where the epiphany came, everyone has struggles but they don't wear them on their sleeve, so i can't see what they are. Although there are select few people i have encountered that actually do shout out their problems in order to gain sympathy, but that's a subject for a different time. This is where I realized that everyone has huge problems and then I realized I want to know truly what others have gone through. What parts of their lives are they keeping hidden down in a cage because they don't want to face them?
What have they gone through to make them the way that they are? If they are goth, why? If they are so freakin' happy all the time, why are they that way?
Its so interesting, I thought to myself. If I have gone through this and this and this, what have they been through? I can't say that I have had a harder life than the person sitting right next to me, no matter how they might seem. I shouldn't even compare my life to others because really why does it matter?
Its not like there is some competition to see who has the crappier life, and if their is, that is one competition I hope to lose. So that kind of bugs me and at the same time it doesn't when people are like "You don't know what I've been through." Really it depends on how much its used. If its used in moderation i think its okay. Everyone wants a little sympathy. But don't compare your life to mine and say that I've had it easier.
Because you can't know what I've been through, and I don't know what you've been through, so truce? BUT, give me a little slack and sympathy I can't always hold it all together.
Wow I am just ramblings all over the place, I hope it makes some sort of sense. I don't know half of want I mean and what I'm saying, I am just putting my fingers to the keyboard and letting them run.
I need to not be so selfish, you need to not be so selfish, and we all need to be a bit more understanding of the other. When someone needs some coddling, hold them to you shoulder and stroke their hair.
It seems to be a roundabout way through stuff I already knew to get to the meaty thoughts here. But this has also been a roundabout way to get to what I had intentionally got on the computer to discuss here.
Two words: counselors and office aids. WOW. These seems two of the least sympathetic species at school. I'm going to explain to you my predicament. Over the weekend i foolishly stayed up late(try 3am) with my rowdy siblings and brother-in-law in two consecutive nights. With an abnormal sleep schedule already in the bag, i had to go to work on monday from 3-11:15. Yes try waking up for school the next day and being in a good mood. Actually try even waking up, its difficult.
So going to school the next day was more than something I could comprehend, and staying there for the whole day was even more impossible. Laughable even. So seminary conveniently being fourth period I decided to skip. I went into the building like a good little girl to figure out how to get checked out so it would be excused or whatever and the office person was so mean.
She was immediately assuming I was skipping because I "just didn't want to be there." She said it would be okay if i was sick or something. Well let me tell you something lady, I may not have been physically sick, but I was mentally unstable!!!! She kept trying to guilt me into staying saying "Is it worth it?" So i put up my defense which is normally silence. I contemplated shouting to her my day yesterday, but decided against and with a few dramatic parting words, (I'm not going to explain to you my life) I swiftly left the building.

No school??
I really feel quite stupid. So today there was no school and it was wonderful and glorious and i slept in til eleven and did whatever my heart desired. But basically yesterday i was still geared up to go to school today.
I hung out with my friend Jessica and did my homework while i was there, naturally because i had school the next day. We wanted to watch letters to Juliet and she said that we weren't going to watch it until her mom got home (around 9:15). I was a bit frustrated because it was a school night! i couldn't be over there later than 10:30.
Just a passing question i asked what she was doing tomorrow and the confusion ensued.
"What are you doing tomorrow? Cause i was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me and Katie."
"Oh, well tomorrow i'm going to go to nightmare on thirteenth to find some props, probably in the morning."
"Oh! thats fun, but wait when are you going?"
"In the morning."
"What? So you're skipping school." I am utterly confused by this point.
"No, Amy we don't have school tomorrow."
I give a look of utter astonishment.
"Didn't you know that?"
"Uh no! Why do you think i was doing my homework!"
"Yeah i did think that was a bit weird..."
"Jessica! i had the alarm on my phone on! i Would have gone to school tomorrow if you hadn't told me!"
And thus i was befuddled for the rest of the night. I didn't believe her at first, so i had to consult a school calendar just to be sure. I just had a hard time getting out of that mindset that there was no school tomorrow. It felt so odd, you know that feeling where you believe something, and then somebody crushes everything you have ever known?? That's how it felt last night. Its like when you think its a Thursday, and its really a Friday.
Me and Jessica decided that i would have gone to school tomorrow and wouldn't have realized that there was no school until second period, because i have study hall first. And that would have been embarrassing.
And you see the thing is, is that everything pointed to there being no school on friday, but i never made the connection. I even remember the signs.
#1 there were only food options put up until thursday. I reasoned that perhaps they just hadn't decided on what they were going to serve on Friday yet.
#2 in chemistry my teacher said on Wednesday "have a good weekend!" i laughed in my head at her, she was thoroughly confused because we were going to see her on Friday.
#3 parent teacher conferences were going on, the reason for this glorious little break
#4 jessica asked to hangout which she normally doesn't ask me to on school nights
#5 this guy named nathan(i don't feel like explaining his relation to my life or jessicas) asked if i was going to hang out with jessica today/ this weekend, and i said "don't you mean on Friday?" and he seemed a bit confused and said "oh sure." or something to that affect.
haha wow i feel so dumb. I even remember thinking, oh! i don't think we have school this friday, but i clearly put that thought out of my head. Lets hope that the next time we don't have school, somebody tells me so i don't actually end up going to school on accident!

Drama Queen
I've always prided myself with thinking that i'm not a drama queen. So I am a mostly chilled out, relaxed person that doesn't get angry very easily. At least that's what i like to think i am.
The other day i was driving home from the movies and chatting with my family. Certain subjects arose and i was venting about dramatic people and dramatic situations that i didn't want to deal with. I made it clear how dramatic said person was compared to my mellow self.
Then my sister SO rudely made the generalization that "All teenagers are dramatic." I came unglued because I AM NOT DRAMATIC. aha. Um but i guess my behavior speaks otherwise right? Me Yelling at my sister that i do not act dramaticly.
But i have a pretty good track record, i haven't gotten in a fight with any of my friends since 8th grade! Thats like three years of awesome friendship! So naturally i assumed that i was not a drama queen. Plus i'm non-confrontational.
I act cordial to my friends, i vent all my angers to my family. Except the occasional outburst of "That girl, i just, can't handle ....." to my friends.
But apparently i am a closet drama queen. And i didn't realize this until today. I went to school this morning for the infamous picture day. I had woken up SO early and gotten ready and everything for some incompetent fools to take a picture of me. I go to school get my picture taken, look at it and frown. I get my school ID two minutes later and now not just my face is frowning, but my whole demeanor. Every year i sorta hate my school picture. But this years was ESPECIALLY bad.
So i complain to my mom about it. But i need back up support about my freakin school picture(its really not even a big deal) so i run over to my friends house. And i actually start to cry. Not just cry, more like heaving sobs. WHAT THE HECK? its just a picture why do i even care? I guess i was just fed up with all the long years of ugly school pictures.
And after this is when i realized i may be a Bit of a drama queen.

Music
I am so addicted to music it's pathetic. Even my mom will give me scornful looks and comments when i ask for an mp3 player for birthday, she says " you want another one of THOSE," and im like well yeah cause i have broken/lost all of my others ones...
i can never live one day in my life without listening to music! i wake in the morning and as i get ready i turn on my cd player, i walk to class listening to my mp3 player, i bring headphones so i can listen to music in classes where i have computers in them, i listen to pandora quite frequently, i listen to music while doing homework, reading, or just when i'm bored, some of the only things people know about me is that i always have earphones in my ears, i have owned 4 musical devices at one time, i break earphones about once every month, and i think actually i'm feeling the effects of all this listening to music i think i'm losing my hearing, since at the moment i am depraved of a mp3 player i am realizing how helpless my life is without music.
mowing the lawn used to be a bearable task due to the constant presence of music in my ears, but with my mp3 players broken/ stolen(grrr) i have to put up with a walkman. That's right, when you tip a walkman to the side or just move it around what does it do? it doesn't work and skips, so how would you suggest i would listen to music while constantly moving mowing the lawn? very carefully, my own desperation for music allows me to conquer this seemingly impossible task of listening to a walkman while moving and while it's tipped on its side. tasks that may seem unconquerable to the average unmusiclistening american, i make possible.
so while we are discussing my amazing skills of using a walkman as a source of music while i mow the lawn, shall we discuss the amazing properties of music?
it makes any impossible task possible,
i makes awkward silences no longer awkward!(this is an important one)
it can be a bonding times between fellow comrades
musical taste can actually make you friends,/ strengthen a relationships ( when you give me a burned cd, you have moved from the acquantence zone to being my best friend)
it can help you exercise! seriously some of the hardest runs of my life were when i was running without music.
life is just better with music! seriously trust me, and if you don't like music you suck rocks!
i can never live one day in my life without listening to music! i wake in the morning and as i get ready i turn on my cd player, i walk to class listening to my mp3 player, i bring headphones so i can listen to music in classes where i have computers in them, i listen to pandora quite frequently, i listen to music while doing homework, reading, or just when i'm bored, some of the only things people know about me is that i always have earphones in my ears, i have owned 4 musical devices at one time, i break earphones about once every month, and i think actually i'm feeling the effects of all this listening to music i think i'm losing my hearing, since at the moment i am depraved of a mp3 player i am realizing how helpless my life is without music.

Good news! i undid the weird titles thing where it was in hindu (if anyone cares unfortunately i doubt anyone will haha :))
So school ends in about a week,fortunetly. Unfortunetly i have a math final left, and also unfortunetly i don't care about it at all.
Hmmmm, what topic should i blog about today ..... ???
Oh i know! to add on top of my whole nicholas cage and minus stars rant, me and my sister figured out something the other day. Any movie with talking babies, aka the ones that don't yet have the intellegence to talk yet and are the main characters, or talking dogs in real life
(this is just ridiculous. I did decided that of course it is okay to have talking dogs and babies(family guy) in cartoons) automatically puts said movie into the negative 2 star range. This is probably the biggest mistake stupid thing in the movie industry.

After AP Testing
Wow what a month of frantic learnings of historical facts and memorizing why wars started and taking practice quizes and writings pointless essays. Well, its all done. the climax of my year ended in a sharp decline after i walked out of that library filled with geeks and smart people like myself(:D) wishing to recieve college credit.
IT WAS SO WORTH IT! In history we now do absolutely nothing except watch beautiful movies, no more learning! But now, my life is beginning to get a little boring and i don't know what to do with myself now that i have free time unfilled with crappy homework.
I need to find something constructive to do with my life like get a job or something i have no more excuses now except that im lazy! I need to grow up!
Anyway, its kind of depressing now that history is over cause i genuinely enjoyed learning history. And i really don't want to give up my history book full of pervy paragraphs that were so entertaining to read. But alas, the year is coming to a close and its time to move on :(. . .

Title: The EFF list
this is a little something that was born in newspaper today. Its basically an exclusive list for aspects of newspaper that need to be booed.
like today my hilarious friends Morgan gillete and katelyn duncan recited a list of things that suck about newspaper,
here we go The EFF list!:
drafts
maybe digs and duhs but we only have to do one more :)
scary editor alex
people who don't read the newspaper
people who tear up the newspaper(this actually happened today, it happens every issue and i think that it deserves to be on an even more horrible list)
stalking serence blair
calling serene blair
hearing morgan complain about serene blair
serene blair's name appearing in the morning announcements
weird questions raised about serene blair(does she actually exist? is she a robot?)
serene blair(SHES AN ASIAN)
me fearing that serene blair will somehow read this post!
stalking people
being stalked
running errands for mr. boberg
people told to find out an impossible piece of information because you are an "investigative reporter"
the term "investigative reporter"
mr. bobergs stupid face look when you do/say something stupid
boberg dissing on my history class :(
i probably could keep going, but im going to stop cause i love newspaper!
the Double EFF list
people who tear up the newspaper
the only other thing that deserves to be on this list is people who don't even know that there is a school newspaper at bingham! and perhaps serene blair.

YES!!! i got the title not to be in arabic! anyways today we are going to discuss the star system/what movie stars i hate.
okay so in effect last weekend me and my sister mette had an eppihany! In every movie Nicholas Cage is in, he automatically takes away two stars from the movie overall. So in national treasure were it to have gotten a 4 star review, his perving presence in the whole movie automatically subtracted two stars from the movie.
Well, i guess one thing you need to know is that i HATE nicholas cage, he is the WORST movie actor i know he is at the bottom, and people like Harrison ford are at the top!
Another actor that seems to have the unique ability to add or subtract stars from films is matthew macconaughey. He adds one star if he doesn't remove he shirt anywhere in the films, and actually adds two star if he reveals some skin. Like the movie fools gold, it was a horrible movie with a weak plot but his disgustingly sexy presence makes every film better.
I also hate the actor dennis quaid because of a stupid movie called vantage point, ever heard it? no, you haven't? oh i wonder why! PERHAPS BECAUSE ITS THE STUPIDEST MOVIE EVER AND NO ONE SAW IT! His face alone just subtracts like five stars from the film, who wants to watch really upclose shots of a craggy, pockmarked aged face?
On a way different note, some movies suck, but because they suck or are cheesy or whatever they are actually amazing! like the two movies ella enchanted, and percy jackson and the lightning theif. OH and another one that no one will know is Uzumaki, a wierdo japense horror film, but its actually kinda creepy
okay i also hate robert pattinson. But thats a whole nother blog post.

Thats not my name!
So something, like my sister, that bugs the crap out of me is when people write my last name with TWO ffs. Like why! Every note from attendence that i get says angerhoffer.
Even if they are directly looking at my name and then copying it onto a paper they automatically throw in an extra F! AND THERE IS ONLY ONE! like how are they so incompetent! they are staring at the exact spelling! They only see One f on the paper! Obviously the attendance people at my school are rude and incompetent!
So another example of this happened today. If you have somebody spell their last name out for you, one that you have never heard before, you copy it down letter for letter that they say on a paper! RIGHT?
This office aid Asked for my name i had not even said my last name and she asked me to spell it so she could right it down. I said anger and she said spell it so A-a N-n G-g-E-e-R-r -F-ff! can you believe that! she was doing so good until i said a single f which for some reason caused her to write too! GRR! why is the world against me?
I have been cursed with everybody sucking at my last name! On my high school diploma i dont want to see two ffs and if i do i will ffreak out!

Musings
So you know how everything has a purpose or whatever? And you know how if you said you want spiders to cease to exist you suddenly see a horrible world with way too many insects and creepy crawlys? Why is this! why can we not just eradicate all of these sick species and have it be okay? Anyways...
So i was comtemplating the meaning and existence of zits. Like sick little infections all over your face! So i said in my head i wish zits no longer existed! and instead of seeing a horrible world with a bunch of things going wrong and the world being in complete pandemonium, i shut my eyes and thought and it was the most wonderful world out there! A vision of utopia!
History has it all wrong, peace does not come from everyone being peaceful, it comes from no blemishes on my face!
So much more glamorous! No sick little freaks plaguing our faces! they literally have no point in life. Like spiders? its almost understandable why the freak they are perving around in our world. It s the whole food chain principle, if you take away spiders then a bunch of bugs won't be eaten and like bigger animals wont have as much food to eat yada yada yada.
But zits? come one! they are just like sitting there on your face. Screaming to be noticed. Out of all the sick things about our bodies zits are the most attention deprived! Freaking out on your face trying to get noticed and ruining your life.
If you took them away nothing would happen cause nothing depends on them. Well i guess pain and sorrow depend on them.
But seriously they just need to die!

Life
So today was a wonderful day. I don't know why but it just was wonderful. Me and my friend Katelyn Duncan for a while have been discussing something. For some reason everytime i mention Indiana Jones the movie Star Wars frequently comes after.
Why is this? I thought and thought for a while, and i finally came up with two answers Harrison Ford is in both of them, and George Lucas made both of them. So this led me and Katelyn at lunch to think of how nerdy things like this are connected.
Like if you like Indiana Jones you usually are also obssessed with Star Wars.
If you like Star Wars you also like Lord of the Rings.
If you like Lord of the Rings you probably own some sort of novelty item from said films above (for instance a cardboard cutout of Indiana Jones that you put in your room. Just saying).
If you played Zelda as a child, you also love pokemon and still have pokemon cards AND you have played at least for one summer the gameboy pokemon game.
Its like fact i swear. I have interviewed people to pursue this scientific study. Its like these amazing nerdy things are paired together.
It's impossible for one to be liked, but not the other!
What should we call this unatural rule of nature? The rule of nerdy pairs? Amy's inevitable rules of nerdom? hmm i should think of it and possibly write a book about it
This nerd rule is like law. And therefore if you like one of those said above you are kinda nerdy. You are immediately put into the stereotype of a nerd. or your just wannabe.
so therefore i complety accept the responsibilty of being a nerd! hah!
Teddy Roosevelt forever!
Anyways just some of my observations.

Financial lit
Okay so i am going to complain about financial lit alot, so get used to it.
But i have grievances!!!
So i swear that we have been taught nothing. For the five or three days or however long i have been cooped up in this lame-o classs, he has put a movie in and then say down.
So am i resposible for my learning? NO! the teacher needs to teach us. So anyways you can imagine when to my surprise the teacher announced that there would be a test next time.
my response is this "What have we learned that we could possibly be tested on?"
I have learned that this class is lame. I have learned that blogging is the only way to survive this class.
I have learned that this class gets out at 2:25 (thank goodness)
I have learned that we watch this lame show where this guy shouts at us about finances.
Anyways, i hate this classs so much!!

blah blah blah my hair!
So i dyed my hair. EXCITING! no one expected it and most people say they like it so i guess it was a success. This felt almost like an experiment. To see who would notice, and who wouldn't.
A alot of people that i never talk to or have had a previous class with noticed, all girls.
So this leads me to conclude that guys are very unobservent! like you would think that they would notice a humongous hair change from blondeish to dark brown!
Like what do they think about anyways? I bet they have nothing going in their little heads which results in their inablilty to notice when things change. I almost feel bad for guys.
When i got home from getting it dyed i walked inside and my brother saw me and my dad saw me. But it wasn't until like five minutes later when my dad was like "Oh, Amy you dyed your hair"
Okay, another observation/question, what does that mean. Like thanks for acknowledging that it is different, but what is going on in your brain? do you like it, hate it, think its weird?
Anyways i should perform another experiment to just prove that my hypthesis is right.
Guys suck at life and are unobservant.
Oh ps. ONE boy noticed at school that it was different. ONE!!!

So literally there are freaking leprechauns jumping around on the menu. What the heck? Now what is the significance of this? why am i blogging about this? let me tell you.
1. financial lit is the stupidest class ever invented if we have to watch a show about leprechauns
2. this class is a joke
3. how the heck did the teacher come into contact with a freak show like this?
4. why am i wasting my time watching a show about leprechauns
5. whoever made this show is messed up
seriously little freaking around leprechauns. ugh i hate my life. And this is how my blog was born. I have nothing else to do but rant about my life in this class so expect a post like three times a week!
